Good idea C&L and good first video :)

Aww. Does that mean I have to put away my Tom Tancredo sock puppets, too? Too Bad, So Sad. ;)

you know that clip david letterman does pretty often of george 2 saying he just got back from a tripto BOTSwanna. i bet hat was the phonetic of Botswana he was reading .

Your tax dollars at play.
Oil prices up

Global warming puts more people at risk of fire attacks.

Will we be allowed to talk about criminal activities coordinated between 2 or more people?

Great video. Are you tired of not being represented? Want to shock the hell out of the Dems? Want to show them that WE do have power? Listen to the video again. THEY are telling you not to vote for the one person who represents what WE the people want. They are telling you that he is not electable. PROVE THEM WRONG!!! Vote for Dennis Kucinich.

Much thanks BG for posting my vid. I've got more at my YouTube channel, so please subscribe if you dig 'em. .

Good stuff man

Did anyone else hear David Schuster today while hosting Tucker repeatedly say that the gasses Saddam used were given to him by us? Nobody else dares to say what we all know. Kudos again to Schuster.

I just posted "August 6, 2001: We Will never Forget" on my blog. Good video.

Isn't Pillsbury one of those ultra-evil corporations? Just sayin'. Maybe it was a freebie, or he likes the dough boy. I used to, and troll dolls, and desperately desperately wanted an Easy-Bake oven-- oh yeah!! Boys weren't allowed that back in the 60's. That's when I dropped out of cub scouts, sensing it was a para-military, brainwashing organization, after only 6 weeks. I was 7.

I liked how we could be politically incorrect back then. There was less outrage. We just did things without having to worry about our government all the time. I wonder how many man-hours, productive hours (in a nation that keeps track of such) are wasted in this political bickering. It wasn't good for everyone, granted. Blacks in the South had a raw deal. I sometimes wonder if it's better for a lot of people now though. No health care, dropping wages, WAR, erosion of civil liberties, and we have new groups to disparge with renewed zeal. Gays and "Latinos" come to mind. Have we progressed at all? Maybe we've regressed?

Think of all the good that could be done with the money spent, and the time spent, on political fighting. How much time do we spend here every day? How much of America's energy is wasted on inane crap?

Sometimes, you know, I could care less if these corporations take all the money. Leave me my freedom!!!!!! Money is the root of evil. North Americans/Europeans have far too much of it already. I don't need much; we all need to pay for the basics. I'm NOT greedy!!

There's a whole beautiful universe we live in, but we destroy it, and don't even look anymore, because we're fighting each other. Is that god's plan (if you're a believer)? Is that/this what we shoud be doing?

22 Edwin

Yes, Edwin. This is what we need to be doing.

Great to see something about Dennis...although properly disclaimed...peace is a pretty radical concept and gets most of it's proponents killed.

Dennis and Dennis alone...hell he doesn't even need a running mate!

Kucinich/Kucinich '08

for what it's worth from a not much of a body; i'm voting for dennis kucinich. maybe twice.
donation, calls to friends and family to follow tomorrow den.

we must vote with our hearts and minds.
i read that hillary raised 27 million dollars last quarter. i know she has a lot of individuals for donors but you don't get that kind of cash without corporate backing.
and she's a hawk...or maybe because she's a hawk.
either way i don't know one person who wants her to win.
let's work to not let it be a kerry type (take it, its all you got) choice this time.

xoites defends Constitution @ 13:

Bravo! Excellent video. Kucinich or nobody. I am going to register as a Democrat so i can vote for him in the primaries. Right now i would like to float the idea of boycotting the general election if he does not get the nomination.

i second that kucinich or they can stick it up thier ass

Sy Hearsh tells it like it is:
"SEYMOUR HERSH: Money. A lot of the Jewish money from New York. Come on, let's not kid about it. A significant percentage of Jewish money, and many leading American Jews support the Israeli position that Iran is an existential threat. And I think it's as simple as that. When you're from New York and from New York City, you take the view of -- right now, when you're running a campaign, you follow that line. And there's no other explanation for it, because she's smart enough to know the downside.

AMY GOODMAN: And Obama and Edwards?

SEYMOUR HERSH: I -- you know, it's shocking. It's really surprising and shocking, but there we are. That's American politics circa 2007."

And the question is:
Why are the majority of the People in the United States Views, not being
listened to by Democratic members of congress, who have voted for an amendment
to allow bush to go to war with Iran?

how many folks here have taken the 5 seconds it takes to change human governance?

how many of your friends have you gotten to do the same?

MIke Gravel is here to free you from a party dictatorship. Don't neglect the opportunity!

Your great grandchildren will look at us in awe for our courage if we take it!

go look for a cartoon penguin and here's what you end up with: "That part of the ruling will surely be contested before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In addition, there is another case flatly disagreeing with Aiken's -- a mysterious decision titled In re Sealed Case, issued in 2002 by the highly secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review (called "the FISCR"). This court meets at an undisclosed location, and only the government is a party to its cases. When the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court itself turns down a government request for a warrant, the government (but no one else) may appeal to the FISCR, and if it loses in the FISCR, the government (but no one else) may appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court."

Come on baby, C&L, you gotta work overtime tonight and post Jon Stewart and Tweety on Daily Show. It may be your all time record breaking video... Wake up Nicole. Round up the interns. this is must-see TV

!

It was a good one.

I'm late getting up to speed, but these C-SPAN Blackwater hearings today were amazing.

Waxman swings the bat, and he has some of our finest Representatives on that committee.

For one thing, Waxman grilled the State Dept. (Griffin) over the reasons for the State Dept. to help a fugitive BW employee to leave Iraq after commiting murder.

Seems they don't have a very good explanation. Also, young Prince looked like he didn't know whether to cry or wet his pants.

Waxman is proof that Archimedes was right.

Hotline on CSPAN, California group makes formal complaint against Giuliani for money laundering and campaign finance fraud to DoJ and FEC, in relation to the news that Giuliani campaign finance chief was the sole backer of the attempt to put a electoral college rearrangement initiative on the ballot.

Giuliani claims innocence, on the advice of his Star Chamber Mukaseys.

The scurillous attempt to steal votes by the biggest votefrauds in US history clarifies that the Republican Party is also the worst party in US history, not just their pResident.

I would think the money trail is fairly self-evident. But people need to pay attention and not let "America's Mayor" squirm out of this one.

Daily Kos: CIA Engineered Controlled Opposition?
The News - Latest News
Written by Administrator
Thursday, 27 September 2007
KirtNimmo.com - Is it possible Markos Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga, leader of the “Kossaks,” that is to say followers and fawners of the Daily Kos, is a CIA operative? Francis Holland, posting on the My Left Wing messageboard, details Moulitsas’ relationship with the CIA:

“Markos Moulitsas Zúniga, owner of the DailyKos website, now admits that he spent six months in the employ of the US Central Intelligence Agency in 2001,” writes Holland. “In a one-hour interview on June 2, 2006 at the Commonwealth Club, Moulitsas, also known as ‘Kos,’ admitted that he was a CIA employee and would have ‘no problem working for them’ in the present.”

“I applied to the CIA and I went all the way to the end, I mean it was to the point where I was going to sign papers to become Clandestine Services,” Moulitsas admits in the interview. “And it was at that point that the Howard Dean campaign took off and I had to make a decision whether I was gonna kinda join the Howard Dean campaign, that whole process, or was I was going to become a spy. (Laughter in the audience.) It was going to be a tough decision at first, but then the CIA insisted that if, if I joined that, they’d want me to do the first duty assignment in Washington, DC, and I hate Washington, DC. Six years in Washington, DC [inaudible] that makes the decision a lot easier.”

It's the Khazars you can't talk about. All other people are open to attack...just not the Khazars and their children.

So what, Markos was a CIA agent for a month or two. You have to have an EXTREMELY paranoid mind to think that means anything in particular. Find the ways in which Markos has done ANYTHING that would serve the CIA's foreign or domestic operations.

He's often wrong politically, but he doesn't seem to be advancing any kind of CIA agenda, so it's just BULLSHIT to attack him without evidence of something.

And now the site is down, so probably someone crashed it to punish the CIA -- gad, Jesus wept.

Cool video. Great idea

That is the trick!

A 3 minute video that got Canada's attention last night was the Conrad Black spot on the CBC.

http://www.cbc.ca/mercerreport/

The man is looking at 5 to 10 years in prison by most reports.

Gad! that was hilarious. I commented on it last night on another thead....Connie waxing maple leaves. But the promos were funnier, him playing butler to Mercer and announcing "Cannonball!" right before Mercer goes into the pool. Priceless. The only thing missing was the fragrant leggy Mrs Lady Lord Black (Barbara Amiel http://images.scotsman.com/2001/12/20/2012amielb.jpg ) in a French Maid costume.

I'm sure Mercer thought of it.

Great Video! Too many people today don't understand that to hold onto our democracy, and at this point it is a very fragile democracy, it takes participation by the people. We send these people to Washington and give them a blank check, far more perks than those they are supposed to represent have and then turn them loose with no supervision or demands on them. I'm all for building barracks living quarters for them that they must reside in, a mess hall they must eat in, give them no more than the average American workers make and take away that wonderful insurance they have and make them carry their own like most of us have to do. We might get true public servants who would actually give a damn about the people they represent instead of these self-absorbed miscreants we have now.

Thanks for posting video work by us little guys! I created a little tune for Ms. Pelosi which she can view at http://choppedliverproductions.com.

Cool vid, I like the message. If he had only lit himself a little better it would've upped the quality by 100%.

There are too many to respond to individually, but I just wanted to thank everyone for the kind comments. This is a warmer reception than I expected from a large blog like C&L, where readers are bound to subscribe to a varying array of political beliefs. These responses tell me that there is a larger reservoir of frustration and disenchantment amongst the public than anyone really knows. The corporate media and mainstream blogosphere do such a good job at cheerleading for the top tier candidates that we often feel we are alone in stating the obvious. As I said at the end, we need to unite towards this common goal so others know there is a strong alternative. I truly respect C&L for taking chances like this. We now need to make our voices heard across the blogosphere and all forms of media. This however is a good start.

Peace
