Glenn starts talking and I'm off air and tried everything suggested and I'm still off air. Has to be a conspiracy. Will there be anyway to get a transcript or re-run of this? I'm really pissed!

In an effort to paint himself as a "friend of the environment," he falsely positioned his Laguna West development in suburban Sacramento as a "sustainable community." It is described by land-use experts as a "California tragedy," and a contribution to the very sprawl that he said the development was designed to counter. And it is this sort of construction that brings me to my second point.

I wouldn't normally link to an RNC web ad. But I will in this case because this RNC hit piece on Yearly Kos is so feeble -- both in concept and execution -- that I find it telling about the current state of the Republican party...

I'm inclined to think it's the kind of thing that damages the GOP more than the intended targets. Most of it is a paean (enabled by Ron Fournier) to the now-thoroughly hollowed out DLC. And I think, at a telling level, is confirms what I wrote earlier.

Scott Hennen on what sounds like a crystal meth-fueled gay sex binge with President Butch and 10 of America's Most Distinguished Journimalists (WARNING - empty mouth of food and liquids before reading):

"His descriptions of the enemy and their brutal, cold-blooded-killer tactics were enough to make a graying group of radio talk how hosts want to enlist and serve this country in uniform."

Happened to me and a bunch of folks. I missed all but Glenn's first few sentences of his opening remarks. Then, reading down in the running comments setion where many folks were freaking over the same thing I saw the problem was the need to "empty one's server cache" or some such.

So, I logged off the site, and then logged in again to the live-stream, and back it came. But I missed virtually all of Glenn's opening statement.

Thanks. I saw that advice and other suggestions. Nothing seemed to work for me. I'm expecting this site to tell me a lot of what Glenn said.

I guess the Politico is trying to be so even handed that it can't get the facts across. On a vote last night amending a bill to read that none of the money in the bill could be used on illegals -the Dem chair McNulty, gaveled in the vote he wanted before the votes are all accounted for. In other words, he actually did on TV what you folks think happened in 2000. Like I said, Chutzpah.

Between that, and Obey deciding who gets what pork, without votes getting in the way, The Dems can eventually do away with voting all together.

What concerns me more than the administration's attempts to tell their story is that no one in the media seems to have any interest in telling the WHOLE story; they just seem to want to present one side or, at best, both sides without context

You sound sincere, so I'll put it to you this way. If there were a whole bunch of good-news human interest stories available to tell in Iraq we'd be hearing them 24/7. This is for two reasons. One (as all we cynics know) because in comports with what the governement WANTS the media to be reporting and the networks are quite happy not to make waves (see embedding - note the root - to be in bed with). The second reason is the fact that there are 150,000 Americans over there with concerned families over here and if there were an abundance of happy human interest stories, they'd sell like hotcakes.

The reality is that warfare does bad things to good people and the news coming out of Iraq sucks simply because the situation in Iraq sucks. End of story.

Between that, and Obey deciding who gets what pork, without votes getting in the way, The Dems can eventually do away with voting all together.

It is an empirical fact that Republican pork over the last 7 years far exceeded all records to that time, including the days when Clinton and the Democrats had effectively free reign in DC.

Republicans plan to pay for all this pork by raising our taxes down the line. A deficit dollar spent costs America more than a tax dollar spent because of interest.

But their terrible (and anti-free market) economics aside, they cannot be excused on account of ignorance, Republicans have practically burst their guts at the public trough.

You either do not know this fact, which is your responsibility as a citizen, or you do know it and are ignoring it, which is intellectually reprehensible.

Anyone who doubts that Republican pork has been incredibly high over their recent run (but who is to lazy to google the real numbers) only need consider that Bush NEVER used one veto until July last year.

Think about that. Bush let every single thieving pork-laden bill pass through.

tpmmuckraker.com is keeping a close eye on this today:

Congress is moving forward with legislation updating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act despite President Bush's objections. We've got the text of the House bill here.

The bill is also available here: http://www.cnss.org/HR%203356%202007.pdf

If you ever get the power again, (not likely to happen in your lifetime) maybe you'll figure out how to handle it. In the mean time, go cry in your beer in private. We don't care.
