Mike's Blog Round Up
Hey folks. I'm still Manila Ryce from The Largest Minority signing in for Mike.
T. Boone Pickens of BP Capital Management is feeling mighty stupid and it's not just because he was named after a steak house. No, it's because Pickens is soon to owe John Kerry 1 million dollars if he can disprove even one Swift Boat allegation. Doesn't it feel good seeing billionaires lose money to lowly millionaires like you and me?
As a follow up to Nova's "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial", Happy Jihad's House of Pancakes covers the conservative rage over the episode's misrepresentation of Intelligent Design as a religious belief and not a scientific one. No matter how many fundamentalist Christians insist that Intelligent Design is indeed science, the scientists just won't listen.
Tommy Boy Friedman has come up with the best combination since nuts & gum. Obama & Cheney in '08! After Bush leaves office, Cheney's trigger finger is gonna get cold. Freidman apparently thinks Obama's butt is ripe for the puppetmaster to strongarm.
Some advice to the conservatives out there: Insulting someone by calling them a "communist" just doesn't carry the same level of stigma that it did in the 1950's. This is especially true when said person is simply suggesting that we follow our constitution and impeach Cheney (I hope that won't affect the unity ticket mentioned above).
Zeno presents us with probably the most uneven match I've ever seen - Dinesh D'Souza vs Mark Twain! D'Souza bases his solid belief in God on the fact that he can make a mess whenever he feels like it. There's no doubt that he does, and his article is just one example, but I think D'Souza's actions prove the existence of Satan rather than God.

Are you an official accredited Bush/Cheney crony? To be “accredited,” citizens must now have a liquid net worth of $2.5 million, excluding value of primary residence, and must be investing at least $250,000, which they can “afford” to lose.

Doesn't he even know how to use a napkin?
You dun good, Manila. Thanks.
For those of you in the Boston area, Dinesh D'Souza will be debating Daniel Dennett at Tufts University's Cabot Auditorium in Medford, MA on Friday, November 30 starting at 7pm.
Does ole T'Boone reserve to himself the right to determine if a Swift Boat "fact" has been disproved? You know how confused Wingnuts get when presented with facts that don't jibe with what they want to believe, i. e., TRUTH. I believe it's called "cognitive dissonance".
Off topic, but hearing that Fran Townsend (Bush's Homeland Security Advisor) is quitting ...
Well hopefully at some point we'll produce more then we consume that would be a start.
I have an idea:
Since Pickens made the offer to anyone who can demonstrate a lie told by the Shit Boaters, we should each send a certified letter detailing one lie*. When Pickens tries to move the goalposts to avoid paying up, he should be slapped with a class action lawsuit. There is precedent. Years ago, holocaust deniers offered a cash reward if anyone could prove the Nazis had gassed and cremated Jews. Mel Mermelstein took up the challenge, and when the neo-Nazis refused to pay up, he sued and won.

Its time for people who call themselves "Democrats" to wake up to the sad reality that their party has already chosen Hillary Clinton as the nominee and that those in the party got to Obama a long time ago to tell him to ease off and not present serious attacks or serious alternatives to Hillary's campaign. The Democrats apparently do not want to see her damaged for the general election and want the defense money that comes with non-commital answers on questions like "would you get out of Iraq before 2013?".
Here is some proof of this collusion as I see it. Look at both of these answers and see how Obama is deliberately protecting Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party as a whole. But he is doing so to the detriment of the voting public, particularly by mirroring her stance on Iraq before the year 2013.

That Happy Jihad's House of Pancakes article on the right wing's response to Judgment Day made my day.
"but I think D’Souza’s actions prove the existence of Satan rather than God..."
every time they say "god", they mean Satan. He is their true god... All we need to do is connect the dots, THEY are not really hiding anything, it is out there, in plain site, for everyone to see...
Doesn't that explain EVERYTHING?
How else, in the "NAME OF GOD" can they make:
-hate as love,
-war as peace,
-compassionate as murderous
and etc., etc....

Thanks for the link, John!
I'm a closet communist and proud of it!
Josh @ 4:
I would give away my daughter's liver to get within pie throwing distance of Dinesh D'Sousa (with my arm, that's about 2 feet).
I don't understand why Dennet would bother debating that feeb. Dinesh is WAY out of his league.
Thanks for the mention, Mike-who-is-not-Mike!

L.A. Confidential @ 1:
To my knowledge that change has not yet taken effect. I'm pretty sure the accredited investor status for individuals is still $1million net worth (including one's home) and $200,000 in income the prior two years. Any increase in these amounts are meant only to protect investors from certain securites offerings deemed that might be too risky for many investors.
It's not meant to exclude people from the best investments, it's to protect people from investing in things they might not have been fully informed of all the risks and intricacies of.
Great links!
Question: If Kucinich and the American people succeed in impeaching Cheney, can he still share the Unity '08 ticket with Obama next year? What are the rules on that? Because Friedman is right, Barack is WAYYYYY too much of a pussy to direct U.S. foreign policy. Under an Obama presidency, we'd only be drawn into more regional wars. But with Cheney as his VP, we can start WWIII -- and hopefully win! The future would be bright indeed.
P.S. This Daily Show segment should be required viewing for anyone trying to write a column on U.S. foreign policy, including "experts" like Tom Friedman.
An Other Greek @ 10:
Just look for the 'exclusive' message rather than the 'inclusive' one.
I've always wondered if there's a special version of the Bible, called the 'Except For' edition. Love one another, except for gays, pagans, and liberals. Forgive one another except for gays, pagans, and liberals.
When they speak of these evil people destroying society, they're really talking about oppressing views which have made them wealthy. If they can't preach about the evils of teh gay, they have nothing with which to hammer the populace.
It's not so much that God made us in His Image, but that we do a fair measure of portraying God in ours. And to the extent that He is a punishing, vengeful God, it is a reflection of what lies in our own hearts and minds. Consequently, a president who claims to speak with God but exhibits alcoholic behaviors is simply holding a conversation with that part of himself that allows him to rationalize and continue such behaviors.
Christians are the only folks brave enough to recognize that all races, peoples of the world are not the same. (Those "Christians" who fail to recognize this, are "Judeo-Christian" / Kosher-Christian which is apostate, anti-traditional, and war-monger, D’Souza is one such person)
Therein lies their scientific validity. No other group has the stones to go against the Noachide Randian "logic" of today. The logic of war.
Here's an experiment for the atheists, scientists, neocons, and progressives who love conflict, hate tradition, hate one million years of mankinds tribal being, to consider. "Liberate" (neocon/neolib style) a mother of her biological child and replace it with a child that does not belong to her; according to neotrash: everything should be alright.
Bush's God is the "love one another" secularist God. The zionists with the dullard GW's ear are ingaged in what they believe, truely believe in their dark usurist hearts, that they are ingaged in "benevolent" worldwide warfare, that this war is their Tikkun Olam.
Just listen to their words. Genocide without malice, the only ones who are angry, the only ones who hate, are the "anti-semites" against imposing their "new reality" here and abroad.
On the Blog watch, maybe the Huffington Post should be called on who's covering campaign 08? http://marccooper.com/sid-vicious-hes-back/#comments
T. Boone Pickens : yet another fine example of a breed that has spread throughout this great nation in a time of war. CHICKENSHIT CHICKEN HAWKS. and these birds of a feather surely do flock together.
I just thought a thought.
Hollywood writers are on strike.
So who's writing their picket signs?
Occidental Tribalist @ 19:
Geez Louise, and I thought I spoke perfect gibberish.
19 Occidental Tribalist
I haven't seen your name here before.
Are you the Occidental Tourist?
Here's a thought: Every white person ever born was an occident.
I didn't know Milton Friedman coined the phrase "free to choose." I thought he was just a big fat piece of crap.
Ugh. Just say no to D'Souza.
