BTW, digg and amazon make C&L really slow to load.
Loads fast for me.
"...this meddlesome priest."
I think Burton has really been swept aside or people got sick of his Films with Liz Taylor. But he's a great actor, funny too.
Get rid of dig. It's useless. Who cares?
I need hi-speed, but verizon won't answer the phone.
Global warming hits Colorado.
The Brits consider
it a threat to national security. The generals themselves say Iraq is unprepared.
Another Republiscum jumps ship. Fred Thompson defends lobbying, even though it led to him supporting the kinds of de-regulations which led to us paying for Charles Keating's corruption. Fast food chains refuse to follow requirements listing calories for their products. More CIA chicanery.
(It must be noted that, although they try to be somewhat subtler about these detestable dynamics and their meaning, the Democrats drink deeply at this same trough of moral iniquity. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both advocate a militantly aggressive interventionism, and they make frequent threatening noises in Iran's direction. And Hillary Clinton also refuses all national -- and not insignificantly, personal -- responsibility for the catastrophe in Iraq: "[Our troops] gave the Iraqi people a chance for elections and to have a government. It is the Iraqis who have failed to take advantage of that opportunity." We have been failed by "our little brown brothers," still one more time. Our burdens are immeasurable.]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Public support for the war in Iraq has fallen to a new low. Not only that, but Republican support is beginning to waver.
President Bush's troop buildup, or "surge," meant to quell the sectarian violence is now in place.
"The final surge was just completed in the last 10 days," Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott said Sunday.
What happens now? "Come September, we'll have to see how they're doing and we'll have to make an assessment," Lott said. (Watch Schneider report the poll results Video)
But the public is already making an assessment, and it's not good. In the latest CNN-Opinion Research Corporation poll released Tuesday, 69 percent of those polled believe things are going badly in Iraq. Seventeen percent think the situation is improving. (View the latest poll results)
Ahh. Was just saying the site loads very fast for me. That's all. Actually digg is great.
This reminds me of the gambler who's lost the mortgage payment, but figures his luck has to change before he loses the kids' colleg funds.
The AP this morning served up a nice summary of what has been a very bad week for Rudy Giuliani. But the former New York mayor and 2008 GOP White House hopeful isn't the only conservative miscreant who's fallen on hard times of late...
For the story, see:
"Giuliani's Very Bad Week."
Dump Digg! It's a stupid pointless waste of bandwidth.
Actually the US should have more bandwidth to waste, but doesn't. I'm assuming you're in the US. Check out this story about US versus Japan in regard to bandwidth comparisons that I caught on the Digg top ten (TODAY):
Bandwidth
NIN-MOFO @ 16:
I caught that story already without Digg. But thanks.
Dump Digg! It's a stupid pointless waste of bandwidth.
Snowball @ 15:
I'm not a fan of spotlight, either. I don't think much attention is paid to either.
I'm always slippin' when I try to open the comments, either.
"Either"- The only way to end a sentence either.
Hey maybe you could sell a lot of "Dump Digg" bumper stickers through Cafe Press. bwahahahahaha!
jay lenos such a two faced bastard!
No one pays attention to Digg, eh? It's in the top 100 of all global visited web presences.
see for yourself: http://www.alexa.com
Time to add two more million uninsured Americans to the list.
Hey, tyree!
Leno used to be funny. Then he started hostin' The Tonight Show and began playin' to both sides of the political divide.
I don't think he's as much two-faced as he is cowardly.
"Digg for Dumbshits" there's a bumper sticker for you.
Dump Digg! It's a stupid pointless waste of bandwidth.
NIN-MOFO @ 21:
Well, ya got me there.
However, I've never had anyone tell me I should really check out Digg. People usually link to the source. But maybe I just didn't know ...
Hey, Snowball. You and tyree both! What is this, Double Dose 'o' Hoosiers Tuesday?
Oh say can you see?
All the death oversea?
Way to stay on topic people.
I found dumbshits without digging.
Andy K @ 26:
Andy, Andy, Andy, Luv ya bro, but I hate sports. Growing up in Bobby Knight's hometown with the ever present death threats against anyone who isn't a sports fan, I'm not too hip to that jazz. Enjoy what you like, just leave me out of it, thank you very much.
"Digg for Dumbshits" there's a bumper sticker for you.

Snowball-
I know yer not into sports.
Aren't all Indianans known as Hoosiers, though? I didn't think it was University-specific! Honest!
Arthur Silber is a lovely human being. His writings regarding Alice Miller are wonderful. He is the closest thing to a hero that I can see.
Ok, my sloppy tribute is done now:)
Dunno Andy, I was born in NY but my dad was a professor here. I'm not sure what that makes me.
Dump Digg! It's a stupid pointless waste of bandwidth.
whizkid @ 27:
Uhm...It's an open thread. Unlike the other threads(well, the LNMC threads have always been open to anything musical- that threads special rule), the posted topic is only a slight nudge in one direction.
Unless, that is, somethin's changed while I was in Shangri La these past few weeks...
Snowball- Tell us how ya really feel about Digg, wouldjya? ;)

Say goodbye to the middle class.
Great. A new generation of idiots who will buy into the next illegal war.
I usually hate those that grumble about taxes because in some ways taxes are good, but you know our government waste so much. Anderson Cooper had a great story about that guy at the Smithsonian who was really out of control. Big government is bad when you don't have oversight and accountability.
LIke - it's not FEMA that is bad because we need something like that to handle emergencies - what was the problem is who Bush put in charge of it
and i hate that right wing line that "i'm from the government and i'm here to help" is an oxymoron...
a government that helps the people is not bad what is bad is what America has and that is a government that cares only about the richest of the rich and the big corporations
Anybody know of a down-loadable copy of CIA's Family Jewels? Documents are available at www.foia.cia.gov but only one bloody page at a time. I've only got the first 50 of 702.
A 702-page CIA dossier known as the "Family Jewels" compiled at the behest of then agency director James Schlesinger in 1973. According to a memo written at the time, the purpose of the dossier was to identify all current and past CIA activities that "conflict with the provisions of the National Security Act of 1947" - and were, in other words, illegal. -- guardian.
Why can't Dick Cheney commit suicide, like that guy in Tony Blair's cabinet, that recognized he gave false info on the WMD's, and he felt so bad about it, he killed himself. I guess Cheney doesn't feel bad about anything he's done.
Also, I love that the lesbian daughter wrote a book... as Bill Maher wrote:
Chapter 1: My dad's vice president; Chapter 2: I like pussy. The end.
I was workin' in the garage and had Hardball on on my little tv screen over the work bench, but was listening to Willie so I had the tv audio turned down... while that blond witch Coulter was on with her little black dress.
Did anyone notice the signs in the crowd? "Ann, marry me!" and "Ann is RIGHT."
What the hell is TWEETY doing with his program, anyway? A WHOLE HOUR with this no-excuse-of-a-person... and then his producers don't even do something to balance the subliminal messages coming from the crowd? What the HELL? Were they all Young Republicans... or maybe Hitler Youth?
Looks like Britain
and Brazil
are ahead of us again...
Today, ThinkProgress elevated a rightwing slander about Aristide (via quoting an AP article), and appears uninterested in the fact that they just spread an utter fiction as fact.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070626/ap_on_el_pr/fred_thompson_lobbying;_...
Here's the AP article, which is a lie.
Here is the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, with the real context of the smell of burning tires comment:
http://www.cidh.oas.org/countryrep/EnHa94/eh94c3.htm
AP lies -- that's no news. It is often a pawn of CIA (or other shadow) propaganda, and this Aristide slander is not surprising. But ThinkProgress? Who knew that they harbored rightwing ideas about the Carribean, or that they were willing saps of the AP?
Lots more in comments over there.
Well, it seems that Bush's poodle Tony Blair is seeking to serve Bush once again. I'm sure that many in the Middle East will see Blair in that light as well. Especially if he gets the Middle East Envoy position. Looks like the Bush Administration wants a quick decision on his nomination as well as we see from this article:
U.S. seeks swift deal on Blair as Middle East envoy

Coulter has asked her friend Matt Drudge to remove all references to her demonic comments yesterday. Gay journalist Drudge has dutifully complied.
Day 7. We are still living under the occupation of the evil tyrant who has overthrown our government, and the cowardly senate and congress remain silent and paralyzed.
We deserve Dick Cheney. We must. Because we elected complete incompetents and imbeciles to congress and the senate and believed that they would save us from this perfidious traitor and tyrant. How foolish we were.
If only 69% think the war is going badly then there are more people making money off this war than I first thought. New Republican bumper stiker+ OUR TROOPS SUPPORT US!
Ray @ 44:
How does that scum bag make money off of hate.
just watched john edwards and his wife on jay leno. so refreshing to hear someone who is articulate with a wife who actually has something to say. the appearance, i would say, did much for his candidacy. he is not only bright, but he speaks out boldly on the issues of the day. seems honest as well. if gore is not going to run, i like edwards.

“We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children” - David Brower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_R._Brower
There was a time, not so long ago, when the average American would instantly recognize an evil thing when they saw it and would find that thing repulsive and completely repugnant. And, not all that long ago a person like Joshua Muravchik would have been shunned as a twisted, sick-minded extremist. How low we have collectively sunk that a man like him, and the ideas and poison he promotes, would be given serious consideration by anybody other than the smallest handful of maladjusted fringers like himself. Our consciences have been gradually dumbed down, I suspect in part, by our collective, long-term television addiction.
Shoot your TV.
Family Jewels
Powell’s wife is on Today talking about what a shame that so many U.S. children don’t have health insurance and how our country does such a poor job funding healthcare for children. She is pushing some foundation she’s in charge of.
Golly gee Mrs. Powell, do you think one of the reasons our country has no money for safety-net healthcare is because it is spending a fucking fortune every day funding the Iraq occupation? The same occupation your husband pushed for when he sat down at the U.N. with his PowerPoint presentation showing spy satellite photos of truck trailers filled with WMD-making apparatus that turned out to be dairy equipment.
Of course Meredith didn’t dare bring that up.
Unintentionally Funny
gort, great point. meredith should not be given a slide on this. powell's wife does what she does and promotes what she is programmed to promote. the "jounalist" meredith on the other hand is not doing her job when she fails to point out the obvious. how long will these so called journalists continue to have soft ball interviews and avoid the real probing questions. the answer: As long as they can. It's really up to us to stop it. meredith, stick to looking pretty and hosting inane millionaire shows and leave the interviewing to 16 year olds as jesse on o'reilley's show. journalism 101.
Ron, amazing isn’t it? This country is falling apart at the seams, being ingested by a halfwit Mafia-style administration in Washington, a bullshit-based occupation and a greed-driven Wall Street.
Instead of investigating these most-important events, the media fills our plate with pure fluff – Paris Hilton video, liposuction befores and afters, youtube clips, weekend box office grosses, iPhone frenzy updates, Howie Mandel interviews………..blah blah blah.
It just boils my blood, but it will never change.
I have a special request... I need help from the blogosphere in organizing a list of grievances against Bush ala Declaration of Independence 2007.

I was on vacation last week and couldn't play with you guys.
Did y'all have fun playing with yourself?
During that time I got an idea for a book. It could be a parody of jungle tales called Zantar of the Bonobos.
Instead of hurling a spear like Tarzan, Zantar could fling poop.

So how are the grosses for horror movies weekend boxoffice?

I didn’t see horror returns, but I did see that that Noah’s Ark movie bombed.
A big Boo-fucking-hoo for Hollywood.

Thanks. Also found the one file version of CIA's "Family Jewels" (pdf) from the National Security Archive.
This is the group that Cheney wanted to shut down. Could be they're showing what is missed by his refusal to comply with an executive order governing the handling of classified information.

Watch for us to attack Venezeula next. Dr. Jerrold Post (the go-to guy when you want to portray a world leader as insane) has a new study out claiming that Chavez is... insane. I suppose he is working on invisible WMDs as well.
http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSN2635327020070627?src=06270...
I don't suppose this has anything to do with Chavez kicking out American oil companies.
"Saddam Hussein will not give up his weapons and will lash out with everything he has if cornered. How does Dr Jerrold Post know this? Because the former CIA psychiatrist has spent years studying the inside of the Iraqi leader's head. Julian Borger meets him " http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,839391,00.html
(On Abmenijhad's taste in suits): I think in a very interesting way of showing kind of contemptuous attitude towards this really very impressive setting of the United Nations. If there's one place that's the land of the suit it's the UN headquarters. And here he shows -- I'm not going to be cowed by you guys. And is saying to his people back home look what a sense of mastery I have. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0609/21/sitroom.02.html
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il is neither insane nor psychotic, but instead suffers from “malign narcissism,” says Dr. Jerrold Post, Chief Scientist in Political Psychology at the Center for Advanced Defense Studies (CADS). http://www.c4ads.org/media/101206/post?PHPSESSID=1545febd6f1be27a7b01531...

...George of the Jungle...
It is very frustrating to know that other, very important issues are going on and we have to be assaulted by the likes of Bill O and Anne C on this excellent blog err on-line magazine. Why do we need to see their behavior or give it any attention at all?
Right now two citizens in New Hampshire (the Browns) one a doctor, are surrounded by FBI, IRS, and others and are about to be murdered for not paying taxes. They were denied to ask the court to produce a law that said they had to pay personal income tax (there is none) and we see nothing of this on this blog.
Ron Paul is being shut out of a debate in Iowa by Christians and nothing is seen here. In fact Ron Paul's name is not even in list on the left column?? Here's a man, the only adult running for president, who wants to abolish the illegal personal income tax, dismantle the CIA and Fed Res Bank (independent and foreign run,) and return us to a constitutional republic...and it is like he doesn't exist. Arron Russo has an incredible documentary...From Freedom to Facism that covers these issues and somehow no one on the staff can come up with a tie in to all that is going on out there??
The honey bee population is half as large as it was and we are in real danger of not having pollination to many of our crops. This is huge...yet it goes virtually unseen or talked about. No pollination means no food. No food means riots in the streets.
Tied into this is the fact that our skies, and those of all NATO nations are filled with Persistent Jet Trails that contain Barium, powdered Aluminum, Blood Pathogens, Ethyldibromide, etc. and a very real possible connection to illnesses in people and the demise of the honey bees and perhaps the loss of 65 percent of 20 bird species here in America.
This stuff is all connected to politics and news, and not some wack theories from marginal minds. While the machinations of the beltway are undeniably imortant, the reality of our world is also. If we make it to the end of the year, and for sure to the end of Bushs' term, without martial law we will be quite fortunate.
How does one get to be a reporter on this blog? I would gladly bring a different flavor to it.
