Hillary is the Bill Bellichick of politics:
GRINNELL, Iowa (CNN) — The college student who says she was told what question to ask at one of Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign events told CNN Monday that she wasn't the only one at the event who was a plant and said "voters have the right to know what really happened." In an exclusive interview with CNN, Muriel Gallo-Chasanoff, a 19-year-old sophomore at Grinnell College in Iowa — whose story in her campus newspaper has now been widely circulated — said that giving anyone specific questions to ask is "dishonest," and the whole incident has given her a negative outlook on politics.
Democrats don't win like Bellichick does however:
Democrats zero for 40 on Iraq
As the congressional session lurches toward a close, Democrats are confronting some demoralizing arithmetic on Iraq. The numbers tell a story of political and substantive paralysis more starkly than most members are willing to acknowledge publicly, or perhaps even to themselves.
Since taking the majority, they have forced 40 votes on bills limiting President Bush’s war policy.
Only one of those has passed both chambers, even though both are run by Democrats. That one was vetoed by Bush.
Indeed, the only war legislation enacted during this Congress has been to give the president exactly what he wants, and exactly what he has had for the past five years: more money, with no limitations.
That's what they were put there to do, stop ChimpHitler.
U. N.:
Worldeater Bush:
Man Caused Climate Change Deniers are "criminally irresponsible":
VALENCIA, Spain - The U.N.'s top climate official warned policymakers and scientists trying to hammer out a landmark report on climate change that ignoring the urgency of global warming would be "criminally irresponsible." Yvo de Boer's comments came at the opening of a weeklong conference that will complete a concise guide on the state of global warming and what can be done to stop the Earth from overheating. It is the fourth and last report issued this year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, co-winner of this year's Nobel Peace prize.
Who didn't sign Kyoto??
Beer drinkers the world over are reaping the harvest of Bush's"criminal irresponsibility":
August 3, 2006—From rising sea levels to stifling heat waves, the effects of global warming are shaping up to be a worldwide buzz kill. But brewers in Greenland seem to be going with the flow, having found a new use for one of their homeland's fastest growing—but least celebrated—natural resources: melted Arctic ice. On July 31 a team of canny entrepreneurs unveiled Greenland Beer, an ale brewed with water melted from Greenland's ice cap, at a public tasting in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Defining Torture Down or Up or whatever:
Great piece about "Torture":
Torture" is one of many current topics of significance that have been abandoned to the left. Leftist commentators have been allowed to set the terms, make the definitions, and generally run the argument without much in the way of serious opposition or debate.
Sounds frighteningly like the global warming debate, the war debate, the debate on taxes, border security, gun control, health care, religion, botany, food poisoning, popcorn lung....
No small number of elements of the War on Terror have suffered the same treatment. An offhand list would include profiling, wiretapping, border security, and rendition. All have been hijacked and turned into battering rams to support a particular left-wing interpretation of the War on Terror. The GOP has been unable to respond for a number of reasons: they've been blindsided, have been busy fending off corruption investigations, or simply couldn't or wouldn't defend certain obvious positions. As a result, the left has been able to peddle its version of events with near impunity."Torture" is probably the most egregious of these cases. That's the explanation for the sneer quotes. Because, quite simply, in much of the debate over "torture", we're not talking about actual torture at all. We're talking about rough treatment, harshness, or coercion. Guys! Keep a firm grip on the Irish Spring! It's time for "The Weekly Bob":
Criminal Irresponsibility:
Al must have left this out of his power point presentation in his Oscar, Emmy , Grammy, Miss America Pageant winning sapfest slideshow An Inconvenient Truth... oh how convenient!!
As goes Europe...
Here's some good news:
Climate scepticism has now gained a firm foothold in various European countries.
In Denmark Bjørn Lomborg stands out as the single most important sceptical environmentalist, defying the political correctness which is such a characteristic feature of his home country, as well as other Nordic countries. But wait! Bjørn Lomborg is not a genuine climate sceptic. Real climate sceptics admire his courage, his scientific rigour and debating skills, but beg to disagree with him on the fundamentals of climate science. Lomborg acknowledges that there is such a thing as man-made global warming, which is quite in line with the mantra of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). He 'only' challenges the cost benefit relationships of the policy measures, which have been proposed to do something about it. Massive expenditures (often euphemistically called 'investments') in exchange for undetectable returns. Real climate sceptics do not accept the man-made global warming hypothesis. They are of the opinion that the human contribution to global warming over the last century or so is at most insignificant. But, of course, they are happy with the arguments advanced by Bjørn Lomborg to bolster their case against climate hysteria.

Stop or my mom will shoot:
John McCain's 95-year-old mother, in a swipe at her son's rival Mitt Romney, said Friday that Mormons were to blame for the scandal that rocked the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics. During an appearance on MSDNC, Roberta McCain laid out why her son, John, deserves to win the Republican presidential nomination. But in evaluating McCain's primary rivals, she criticized Romney's Mormon faith and his time in Salt Lake City. "As far as the Salt Lake City thing, he's a Mormon and the Mormons of Salt Lake City had caused that scandal. And to clean that up, again, it's not a subject," Roberta McCain said.
Disclaimer: John McCain quickly stepped in: "The views of my mothers are not necessarily the views of mine." "Well, that's my view and you asked me," Roberta answered.
Senator McCain was later sent to his room without dinner...enveloping...
Leftists in Hollywood continue to lecture us about the War on Terror:
The wave of recent films set against the backdrop of war in Iraq and post-9/11 security has failed to win over film-goers keen to escape grim news headlines when they go to the movies, analysts say. In a break with past convention, when films based on real conflicts were made only years after the last shots were fired, several politically-charged films have gone on release while America remains embroiled in Iraq.
Therein lies my beef and/or central gripe. Almost without exception, however, the crop of movies have struggled to turn a profit at the box-office and in many cases have received a mauling from unimpressed critics as well.
Green Week almost over!!!!:
Only one more day of this fucking crap. At least I hope it's only a week...
Ah Joe! One of my favorite politicians nails it:
The 2008 Democratic candidates are beholden to a "hyper-partisan, politically paranoid" liberal base that could endanger the final nominee's chances of winning next year's presidential election, Joe Lieberman, the former vice-presidential Democratic candidate, said yesterday. In his most outspoken attack on fellow Democrats since he was unsuccessfully challenged last year by Ned Lamont, a liberal Democrat, for his Senate seat in Connecticut, Mr Lieberman yesterday said he might not vote for the Democratic presidential nominee next year.
It's really hard to believe he was on the same ticket with that thing in 2000.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!!
Rove (The Puppetmaster to those of you in the hyper-partisan, politically paranoid liberal base):
Pelosi sucking for air:
This week is the one-year anniversary of Democrats winning Congress. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid probably aren't in a celebrating mood. The goodwill they enjoyed after their victory is gone. Their bright campaign promises are unfulfilled. Democratic leadership is in disarray. And Congress's approval rating has fallen to its lowest point in history.
The problems the Democrats are now experiencing begin with the federal budget. Or rather, the lack of one. In 2006, Democrats criticized Congress for dragging its feet on the budget and pledged that they would do better. Instead, they did worse. The new fiscal year started Oct. 1--five weeks ago--but Democrats have yet to send the president a single annual appropriations bill. It's been at least 20 years since Congress has gone this late in passing any appropriation bills, an indication of the mess the Pelosi-Reid Congress is now in. Even worse, the Democrats have made clear all their talk about "fiscal discipline" is just that--talk. They're proposing to spend $205 billion more than the president has proposed over the next five years. And the opening wedge of this binge is $22 billion more in spending proposed for the coming year. Only in Washington could someone in public life be so clueless to say, as Sen. Reid and Rep. Pelosi have, that $22 billion is a "relatively small" difference.
Beholden to MoveOn.org and other left-wing groups, Democratic leaders have ignored the progress made in Iraq by the surge, diminished the efforts of our military, and wasted precious time with failed attempts to force an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. They continue to try to implement this course, which would lead to chaos in the region, the creation of a possible terror state with the third largest oil reserves in the world, and a major propaganda victory for Osama bin Laden as well as for Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah.
Filed under "Trouble in Paradise":
Sanity may be rearing it's ugly head amongst rank and file Democrats:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Rank-and-file Democrats expressed heartburn on Friday over their party's latest anti-war strategy, with some members reluctant to coincide a vote to bring troops home with Veterans Day. The House was on track to consider next week legislation that would give President Bush $50 billion for operations Iraq and Afghanistan but insist that he begin withdrawing troops. The measure identifies a goal of ending combat by December 2008, leaving only enough soldiers and Marines behind to fight terrorists, train Iraqi security forces and protect U.S. assets. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed off plans for a Friday vote after caucus members told her late Thursday they weren't sure they would support it. Liberal Democrats said the proposal was too soft, while conservative members told Pelosi they thought it went too far.
Can you say fissure?
BushCo. Junta (or Climate Change, or both, pending autopsy report) kills Norman Mailer:
Norman Mailer, the latest victim of BushCo. Junta
or Climate Change?
Karl Rove caused the Yellowstone Caldera to rise 7 inches to coincide with the 2004 and 2006 Elections:
WASHINGTON – A big blob of molten rock appears to pushing up remnants of an ancient volcano in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, scientists reported Friday. They say no volcanic explosion is imminent – that already happened 642,000 years ago, creating the volcanic crater known as a caldera where part of Yellowstone Lake sits. From the middle of 2004 through 2006, the floor of the caldera rose 7 inches at a rate of 2.8 inches a year – the biggest rise ever measured, they reported.
Coincidence? Me thinks not. Is methinks one word or two? It's one, I thought so...ah Google.
There is a certain formerly special someone I'm hoping this is happening to in spades:
Social networking giant MySpace stumbled to its knees at the hands of a cyber superbug recently, falling ill to a severe phishing epidemic that is plaguing a vast and vulnerable segment of its membership. The viral scam, which targets the site's younger users, promises victims a free $500 Macy's gift card.
Even though she's 40, she may be just dumb enough to fall for it...
May as well get this over with so I don't have to dick with it tomorrow:

Did anyone else out there find NBC's presentation of Sunday Night Football insufferable? Watching Costas and Olbermann broadcasting when they are barely visible does have a certain appeal (if we can get them to broadcast when they are barely audible we'll be getting somewhere) but I digest. I'm one of those guys that likes to sit down and watch a sporting event and not get inundated with politics. I enjoy sports as an escape. When Costas told me to turn off at least one light in the house, I proceeded to turn not only every light in the house on but I also made sure my cell phone charger was plugged in with no cell phone attached!!! Ooh! The subversion of it all! To watch a halftime show that focused as much or more on the state of "our fragile planet" as it did on the day's NFL action was a bit of a pisser for this reporter. Between that and the Coors Light Coaching Press Conference commercials, I may develop Ditka Face and rupture the veins in my neck. Sometimes a guy should just be allowed to watch a motherfucking ball game...
To show my solidarity with our cracked and broken Gaia, I've gone Green as well, sort of greenish anyway. Let the healing begin....
