Since most of us here are liberals who like to think of ourselves as generous and charitable, maybe we should make nice by sending Mr. Hemingway a can of spinach--even though it's quite a bit too late for that to be of any help to him now. Still, I'd love to watch him [try to] rip off the top of the can, Popeye style. That woud be so awesome!

I am sooo not getting any real work done today....

is that Hemingway looks NOTHING like Pat Tillman. Is that spelling things out clearly enough for those who think this whole exercise is unfair?

On one hand, you have a fat, bald, pudgy, LIVING, war-monger, and on the other you have a handsome, virile, DEAD, war hero.

"Little Boy Soldiers"

Because that's basically what they're doing: they're acting like little boys playing "War Gmaes" or "Cowboys and Indians."

"There[sic] credibility is no good."

Neither is yours.

All you've done is speculate and offer wishful thinking that these men have an axe to grind. You've given us no concrete reason to doubt them.

"This isn't about moral superiority or "not fighting back." Kerry lost because he didn't counter the Swiftboaters in any way at all. He should have countered them with facts and arguments, not by employing their tactics of slander. He did neither."

Actually, yeah, he did "fight back." Eventually. Buy hey, who remembers now? He was so "nice" about it, it never resonated with voters in any way that they could remember or even relate to. And you are proof of that. You--and most people--obviously don't remember that Kerry did fight back. Eventually. And nicely.

we need to remember that's it's very important that we not catch him over there, so we can't catch him here first. Makes sense, huh?

or does it seem like every time a Bush official testifies to Congress about Iraq, it's the Monty Python "Dead Parrot" sketch all over again?

I'm not the biggest fan of MoveOn, but anything that gets the right-wingers that pissed off has already gained some positive effect.

Translation: Snow was using bully tactics to make it look like the reporter thinks that all white guys look alike, and that she gets confused sometimes by her own prejudice. Wow, funny, ha ha. I just LOVE bullies, don't you? I think all the context we need is that Snow is every bit as white as his name. He will not be missed.

Our "team"? I forget, are we the Packers or the Bears this week? Or is it the Yankees and Redsox, maybe?

If you would stop looking at this like it's "team sports," maybe we could possibly make some headway, or at least be comparing apples to apples. But your juvenile playground view of our involvement makes that impossible.

But just to refresh your memory, here's a little something you should have learned in grade school, but obviously didn't:

Being critical of the Bush administration does not necessarily make one an ally of "the enemy." We're talking Logic 101, here. Why is it so difficult for you to understand?

I think for tiberius, the only "big issue" is stoking his own petulent ego. He truly IS Bush's "mini-me." An excellent poster-boy for Glenn's book, for sure. Which is really ironic, given how much tiberius complains about Glenn's "self-promotion." Glenn couldn't ask for a better advertisement than tiberius.

When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

The unabridged edition:

Ward Churchill exists specifically to piss off conservatives and Islamophobes. The End.

PPS Denning, Shahin's mosque was actually attended by one the 9/11 hijackers. Sorry to deflate you, but again you apologists run into the facts.

--Golden Boy

So by your logic, if one of the hijackers had ever set foot in (i.e., "attended") the White House, for whatever reason--tourist, delivery boy, double-secret agent, whatever--you would consider the Bush Administration (or ANY Administration, for that matter) to be connected and implicated in the 9/11 terrorist strike. It would be a "proven fact" in your mind. That's how ludicrous your point is.

"I'm on the pavement /Thinking about the government / The man in the trench coat

Badge out, laid off / Says he's got a bad cough

Wants to get it paid off / Look out kid / It's somethin' you did

God knows when / But you're doin' it again / You better duck down the alley way

Lookin' for a new friend / The man in the coon-skin cap

In the big pen / Wants eleven dollar bills / You only got ten

why we should ignore all "Anonymous" posters:

"Perhaps I should say 'allegedly'..."

You remind me of General Custer in "Little Big Man," right before he leads the troops into Little Big Horn. Stop trying to do Karl Rove's thinking for him. The GOP couldn't beat the Clinton machine in '92, '96, (or '98, for that matter). I'm starting to believe they won't be able to beat them in '08, either. Especially if all they have to go on is weak attacks like that.

The last thing the Democrats should base their nomination on is the person they believe Karl Rove least wants to run against. The Democrats need to nominate the best person for the job--whoever that happens to be--and stop worrying about what Karl Rove thinks.

"As I understand it, Harry Reid voted "no" on cloture because of some procedural rule (which provides, I think, that re-consideration can be requested only by a Senator voting "no," so it's common where the majority will lose a vote for one Senator who supports it to vote "no")."

--GlennGreenwald

Now wonder so many people would rather come home from work and watch Seinfeld re-runs than C-SPAN.
