Mike's Blog Round Up

In the words of Michael Buffer: Lllllllllllet's get ready to ROUND-UP!

Hello, everyone, Actor212 of Simply Left Behind...pardon me, the award-winning Simply Left Behind (and thank you for your votes) here, filling in for Mike on the Round Up. Lemme dig into this goodie bag and see what I've got for you on this Friday...oh damn! I stuck my hand in Rudy Giuliani! It will take *forever* to get the stench off!

- Rudy Giuliani takes on a whole new persona this week, as the indictment of Bernard Kerik, his buddy and hand-picked recommendation for Department of Homeland Security chief, is handed up. The Reaction examines his open flirtations with fascism, as if he was in a public men's room.

- It must be something in the water in Canada, because so does The Galloping Beaver.

- Or maybe it's something more sinister, since the Guys From Area 51 also make note of Rudy's rude digger*? The truth is out there!

- Speaking of public men's rooms, maybe we finally have an explanation for the recent rash of teh gay amongst Republicans nationwide….they're just courting votes!

- For my co-blogger, katrina: Peace Train points us to "Disaster preparedness...will we have to stop calling them "acts of God"?"

- Is Bush taking a page from the Chinese playbook? PERRspectives shows us how.

- David E gives us ""H.R. 3685, The Musical" (you might know that bill better as the Employment Nondiscrimination Act). I'm no theatre talent (*snort*), but it looks fabbbbbbbbulous! I bet there's even a role for Rudy to cross-dress in!

Please e-mail tips to actor212 care of yahoo spot com. I can't promise I'll post 'em all, but I'll read 'em all! Tomorrow's my last day guest blogging the Round Up...there's a major star of Blogtopia (© Skippy, the Bush Kangaroo) waiting in the wings.

* Five bonus blogging points if you identify in comments that reference.

Dystopia at it's finest.

Any reality-based candidate would decline an endorsement from Robertson!

Hey everybody...

Would you like to participate in a Fox News focus group? Republican pollster and message crafter, Frank Luntz, is seeking participants for a series of focus groups that will be held around the country. For more info about how to apply, click here:

Join A Fox News Focus Group

This might be a good opportunity to smuggle some sanity into the Fox compound.

There's not much that disgusts me more than those pandering scum bags posing as god conduits and throwing their imaginary power around like a cudgel. May they reap what they sow ten fold.

Thats not possible. Fox flew over the cuckoos nest a long time ago.

Perhaps I should say "would be" terrorist. Question is, will Bush's Department of Homeland Security take the threat seriously?

"The centerpiece of Giuliani's claim, however, is the suggestion that his approach to fighting crime provides a model for conducting foreign policy. In a recent essay for Foreign Affairs, he wrote: "I know from personal experience that when security is reliably established in a troubled part of a city, normal life rapidly reestablishes itself: shops open, people move back in, children start playing ball on the sidewalks again, and soon a decent and law-abiding community returns to life. The same is true in world affairs. Disorder in the world's bad neighborhoods tends to spread. Tolerating bad behavior breeds more bad behavior.""

Fuck Ghouliani. That is not what happened after 9/11,... what did happen was, after he arrested firefighters, sold off the steel fro the WTC to recyclers, & awarded no bid contracts to his buddies for its clean up, was that prices in NYC went through the roof, eminent domain took away private properties & gave them, again to contractors, & real New Yorkers moved out. Places like the Russian Tea Room & CBGB's closed as their rents went from $60 a sq ft too $200 a sq ft overnight.

His is a eugenist's policy, & you cannot apply eugenics to the entire world.

Rudy's only claim to fame is that he just happened to be the mayor of NYC on Sept. 11, 2001.

The Galloping Beaver article is really good.

AP - 2 hours, 1 minute ago

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistani police placed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto under house arrest Friday.

Be interesting to see what would happen here in the U.S. if people really got serious about change.

Rudy really knows how to pick his friends, doesn't he? First Bernie and now Robertson.
MargeAggedon (13) is right. That Galloping Beaver story lays out all the skeletons in Pat Robertson's closet.

This would have been the perfect timing to make a major counter protest move while Bush is saying "Bad Pakistan!! Thats not Democracy!!"

No time to cover much of what's going on in the world, we have to view the OJ Simpson crime, part II.

(god, I hate this sort of useless coverage by all the cable news channels)

Are Round-Ups sort of like Open Threads?

Stuck your hand in Rudy Giuliani and can't get the stench off? Did Jareth make him Prince of the Bog of Eternal Stench instead of Hoggle?

I hope so because I want to post that Lt. (?) Watada will not have to face another court martial. That story was on C & L a couple of nights ago, wasn't it? Anyway, good news!

On the nomination of Michael Mukasey to be Attorney General of the United States:

Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY: did not vote.
Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill: did not vote.
Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn: did not vote.
Sen. Joseph Biden, D-RI: did not vote.

None of these "Progressives" deserve a vote for President.

What's a blogger gotta do to get in on the Round Up action around here?

Oh, right... I have to blog.

Dammit. So, yeah, how about that Rudy? I think we will start seeing the Decline of A Candidate pretty soon here.

Ten years from now, someone will ask Rudy about his run for presidency. He will respond by saying, "I never ran for president. 9-11. Why would I do something like that? 9-11. Listen, I'm a former prosecutor 9-11 and have never had any interest in politics 9-11 since I left the office of mayor in New York."

Probably.
