How the military analyst program controlled news coverage: in the Pentagon's own words

"We develop a core group from within our media analyst list of those that we can count on to carry our water. They become the key go to guys for the networks and it begins to weed out the less reliably friendly analysts by the networks themselves."

    Take 60 TABS of 500MG Rx# 242 at one time. Use Naproxen. Take 60 TABS orally for swelling mouth and ruined life? No. Do a metamorphosis instead.

    Pedinska. huh. err. grunt. @ 7:34.

    You are extra fastidious and unruly?

    Glenn needs you for another secretary.

    I'm being extra quiet around the death loyalist. Or, I get ordered to attend workshops at the V.A. where psychiatrist swap Bush/Cheney general's jokes. Those visits to the Pentagon are almost as depressing as the V.A. blogging-rap group I attend. Inside the Pentagon the War-Porn DVD rental shop is always packed with brass-officers that are dressed in yellow galoshes, three piece sear-sucker orange bib-overalls, and the conventional pink bow ties. The DOD embezzlers are overdosed on aspirin, and zombie-thorazine. They shuffle along... and keep making irritating dry-heaving upchuck sound in the hallways. The dry tongue is hung out. They military hacks pant in blood lust.... The kill-club is gag-elite. They buy Wimpy hamburgers snacks there, and bet on greyhound dog races with 'our' taxes. The Brass Band plays "Amazing Grace" the Americans are so happy. Wretches!

    Media outlets keep up with the trends. They shout, 'Suet' .... Gops listen to 8-track tapes of "Stand by My Man" "Hound Dog" and sing like Dolly Pardon. They catch up on the country western classics from the 30's while being briefed by Gates while they are slumped over.... gagging.

    'Um are being told to say LIES about what the American people want pumped into 'our' ears.

    Pedinska. It is not a good day to roll down a hill. muddy.

    Well. Now, aren't these militant triumphalist disgusting?

    What neocons! O poor, lethargic, sluggard, and depraved stragglers.

    Maybe there are some good-will suits for sale that say : DESTITUTE.

    I bet the Pentagon gives good deals on worn-out clothes to retired sell-out corporate militarist.

    Let's take up a collection for a Salvation Army 3-piece silk suit : Hart Schaffner & Marx.

    They can wear conical hats, and grey oil-rags can be wrapped around the face like dead mummies.
