sad

and nothing will be done about it. The dems think bush is going to leave quietly after this.
I won't take any bets on that.

I wish someone would produce the tape of bush, when the bombs first started falling on Baghdad, when he pumped his fist and said with great satisfaction, "Feel good!" I bet he's prouder of that moment than anything else he's done in his sordid life.

When the bombs rained down their death and destruction, 50 percent of the population of Baghdad consisted of children under the age of 15 years.

Kudos to Nick Anderson. He is amazing.

"Apologies to Gorillaz.."

I long for the day when W makes an apology. Maybe in another universe..

The Writing is on the wall.

Um,

HAS ANYONE NOTICE THE PROBLEMS WITH TURKEY?

Sphinx @ 14:

OR PAKISTAN?

The White House has!
What's with all the caps, sphinx?

Sphinx...I have noticed but I get my information from various news sources including some from outside the United States. The one region that has enjoyed some sense of order is the region the Kurds are in. This also means they are more organized to speak with a clear voice and oppose the Hydrocarbon Law that the Bush Administration is trying to force feed to the Iraqi Parliament. I have read reports where the groups causing conflict around the Turkish border have been getting weapons with the help of some US people. This has not been fully confirmed, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

AS some of you probably know, I used to work as a courrier here in Houston. And as such I did do deliveries and pick-ups to and from the Houston Chronic (as I like to call it.) And of course the HC is part of the MSM, so it's hard to trust it in many cases. But I did notice something about their temporary badge they gave me, so I decided to save and scan one of 'em -

Sometimes I wonder if they got folk working over there that would like to get a message out but they can't through their print media ...

I sometimes also wonder the same thing about the Salt Lake Tribune/Deseret (or as I like to call "despairate") News (they're one and the same thing, thanks to some lousy 1921 (I think) law that allowed monopolization of newspapers.)

yaaay houston
probably the best thing about the chronicle is that on sundays, you get all these advertisements...
oh wait, everybody gets those

Wow, what a bunch of kitties.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Pakistan has nukes.

Anyone ever heard of the ISI?

It's something about those countries with my name in them. It really isn't my fault!!!! They were named before I was born. Seriously!!!!

IF RUSSIA ATTACKED TURKEY FROM THE REAR,WOULD GREECE HELP?????????????

I was on the ship that started it all off. It wasn't easy for a lot of us. I don't think I would have made it if it weren't for the Chaplain on board. That was true for a lot of us.
Knowing that my job directly contributed to the deaths of so many innocent Iraqis really screwed me up though.

If any of you military people out there are having stress or depression problems and are planning to separate from the military, DO NOT let the doctors put you on medication.
I know that sounds crazy but if you go on meds, you'll never get health insurance on the outside. Another "feel good" moment for the decider. Send the troops off to war and make it damn near impossible for them to get medical care when they get back.

Jon, Nicole, et al,
There's a story in that, if you are interested.

Christ, it's pathetic how clearly the mainstream media is owned and controlled by right-wing interests.

I have stopped turning on MSNBC in the morning, because of the loathsome Joe Scarborough. This morning, he and Pat Buchanan are cackling about how "extreme" Harry Reid is in his language and how it's the Democrats' fault that they're not getting anything accomplished.

This Through-The-Looking-Glass BULLSH*T really gets me steamed. It's really discouraging to watch, in real time, the media accept and propagate the official RNC talking points as reality.

Are we operating on the assumption that jumping up and down and screaming about these issues long and loud enough will change anything? Because it's really hard to see that right now.

I'm an indep and I think that bu$h is on a mission from dog. He won't give up until he causes the end of the world (bomb, bomb,bomb everyone with nucular bombs - don't forget he's "the destroyer", just to make sure he completes his mission)

scarlet p. @ 10:

Here are the signs I put up next to freeways yesterday:

http://freewayblogger.blogspot.com/2007/07/yesterday.html

that's 1164 signs up since Jan. 1st... and people still ask me if it's legal. in America.

Go Scarlet!!! Keep up the good work and all the effort. You are a patriot (despite what the tyrants might tell you...)!

Tim, I am sorry for you and your shipmates. That is a lot to live with. I truly believe you were acting out of honorable intentions. You were deceived and manipulated in a criminal way. Your story does need to be told - LOUDLY. Would you consider sharing it with Michael Moore at his website? Your story ties two of his movies together.

I am sending you blessings of peace. Let your experience change you in ways that give you strength to fight for TRUTH and JUSTICE. Stoke the fires !

IMPEACH BUSH and CHENEY!!!

Daily Reading pt 2...

Oil refineries across the country have been plagued by a record number of fires, power failures, leaks, spills and breakdowns this year, causing dozens of them to shut down temporarily or trim production. The disruptions are helping to drive gasoline prices to highs not seen since last summer’s records. Now, ain't that interesting?

Typical idiotic right wingnut con-servative: "We need to build more refineries" Reality: "No...the Big Oil industry needs to take their world record industry breaking profits & fix/update the ones they have and stop BSing the public and self-sabotaging -for-profit!!" Oh...and this country needs to get the hell away from a finite resource past its peak...

Senate Republicans are growing increasingly nervous defending the war in Iraq, and Democrats more confident in their attempts to end it. - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070721/ap_on_an/us_iraq;_ylt=Apd_AbGUk_89wd...

The American Dream of riches for all is turning into a nightmare of inequality. - http://observer.guardian.co.uk/world/story/0,,2131974,00.html
"America's super-rich have returned to the days of the Roaring Twenties. As the rest of the country struggles to get by, a huge bubble of multi-millionaires lives almost in a parallel world. The rich now live in their own world of private education, private health care and gated mansions. They have their own schools and their own banks. They even travel apart - creating a booming industry of private jets and yachts. Their world now has a name, thanks to a new book by Wall Street Journal reporter Robert Frank which has dubbed it 'Richistan'.
here every dream can come true. But for the American Dream itself - which promises everyone can join the elite - the emergence of Richistan is a mixed blessing. 'We in America are heading towards 'developing nation' levels of inequality. We would become like Brazil. What does that say about us? What does that say about America?' Frank said."

Right wingnut morons: "Oh no...fiscal/economic armageddon" Reality: "wow...you mean I'll be able to quit my 3rd job..and not be 'uniquely american' anymore...woohoo"
Don't worry....white collar folks (myself included)...the CEOs/boards of directors will just make you do the work of 10 people instead of 8 so they can still install those 70" plasmas in their 2nd yachts...

Apologies for redundancy (posted on another thread as well), but this is really important ...

Call Congress Today for Impeachment:

We've reached the impeachment moment for Vice Cocksucker Dick Cheney. The cosponsor list for H. Res. 333 has been pushed up to 14.

(H. Res. 333, Articles of Impeachment Against Dick Cheney, is sponsored by the following Members of Congress: Jan Schakowsky, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Keith Ellison, Lynn Woolsey, Barbara Lee, Albert Wynn, William Lacy Clay, Dennis Kucinich, Yvette Clarke, Jim McDermott, Jim Moran, Bob Filner, Sam Farr, and probably Jesse Jackson Jr. Please thank them and encourage them to whip their colleagues.)

Chairman John Conyers says that if we get 3 more he'll begin the impeachment proceedings.

Many Congress Members must be recognizing that there is no other path available. Cheney and Bush have repeatedly refused to comply with subpoenas, ordered former staffers not to comply, and announced that the Justice Department will not enforce contempt citations from Congress. When a special prosecutor attempted to hold this administration accountable, Cheney's chief of staff obstructed justice, and Cheney persuaded Bush to commute his sentence. There is no course left for Congress but Impeachment. Check out www.ImpechCheney.org

Kucinich has detailed info on the Resolution at his site: http://kucinich.house.gov/SpotlightIssues/documents.htm

If you cannot be there, you can take two minutes today and do two things:

Phone Chairman Conyers at 202-225-5126 and ask him to start the impeachment of Dick Cheney; and phone your own Congress Member at 202-224-3121 and ask them to immediately call Conyers' office to express their support for impeachment. Your Congress Member might be one of the three needed, not just to keep impeachment activists out of jail but to keep this nation from devolving into dictatorship.

Down with the tyrants!

some of the repukes who have been steadily giveing bush a blowjob every time he comes up with some evil act against us and humanity are now mouthing that its time to go against him vocaly but still rubber stamp his violations against the constitution will after the first of the yr allmost to a man or woman declare they were just misslead and will ask you to forgive them because theirs another election comming up and they want your vote, theses pukes like mcconnel and the rest of them will work their asses off to get another repig elected as president and return to the war mongers they allways were, i may not live to see it but god i hope the republican party is destroyed forever and that even just mentioning the name republican is a fellony!!!! their never has been a good republican ,never they are the scum of this earth , and any democrat that follows their teachings deserve the same fate!

Big Dog Gettin' It Done!

What are y'all gonna do next year when. after some kind of terrorist attack on American soil, Bush suspends Posse Commitatus, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights and declares Martial Law? No elections to replace him will be held until the "crisis" passes...and our military is recalled from Iraq to "safeguard" us from ourselves.
