Foist?

Agreed. Throwing money at Fatah will change nothing. Besides, Fatah is backed by the United States and does not represent all Palestinians. In fact, I bet it only represents a small portion if that. That recent Annapolis meeting was a joke. They did not invite any of the opposition groups that also have a say such as HAMAS for example and they expected a conflict resolution? Don't make me laugh. Steven Cobert could have made a joke out of that meeting just like he did about Fox News. He could have said: "At the Annapolis meeting you have both sides. The Israeli side and the U.S. side."

Damn, I'm an idiot. that should have read...He said, I travel around the world spreading goodwill.

Although I probably do spread about as much goodwill around the world as he does. ;)

pissed off patricia @ 4:

Just finished listening to bush's press conference. Man, he was on the mark today when it came to totally destroying the pronunciation of words. He talked about the "omnimus" spending bill. He kept saying it that way over and over. Of course he repeated all the bs about freedom being from the creator etc etc. He was asked would he send his dad and Bill Clinton around the world to repair our reputation. He said that's what he does. I said, I travel around the world spreading goodwill.

Okay, stop laughing. That's really what he said. :)

Okay, I'm off to follow some of the links above.

You can really see that Bush is trying his best to undo what he has done for the last seven years. Even in his press conference you can see it. He is trying to polish up the economy by bailing out his crooked Wall Street buddies, Iraq, you name it. I mean, doesn't it strike anyone as ironic that Iraq is all of the sudden being painted a "improving" just as Bush's term is winding down? We all know why Iraq is being presented this way. For Bush, his "legacy" is now at stake and he is hoping to polish his screw ups and war crimes for the Republican candidates election chances. Talk about a tall order.

Isn't it a shame that there isn't someone who could get elected president that would stop throwing money at Fatah and Israel like there's no tomorrow.

Oh wait, there is a candidate that would do that, but we can't vote for him because out of 100,000 donors, one was a white supremacist. Ill vote Hillary instead, she may be a warmonger, but at least she's not taking money from anyone with questionable backgrounds........

Thanks for the linky love, Mike honey, but as you know it's a tremendous joy and honor to do the round-up. The small blogs we find and celebrate deserve the attention, and you and John deserve a great deal of credit for keeping up this daily feature in spite of your success. You don't forget the little guys, and they will never forget you. xoxo

nice to see you back

hope to hear something

about the Joe Cocker tour soon

heh...

I loved the story at Blue Gal's. What Santa said to that little girl brought tears to my eyes. As I commented there, if there is a real Santa Claus, that was him.

Yep, this morning bush was painting broad strokes and using rosy colored paint. The Repubs know if they don't tamp down this war in Iraq a bit they don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning anything next November. He said he hoped the press people would enjoy their holidays, and he was going to enjoy his. I hope the ghosts of all the dead people who have died in his criminal war come to visit him every night.

I don't think bush will be leaving office myself. I agree with some that think he will attack Iran, declare marshal law, suspend the election, and start to jail dems that complain. Certain members of congress believe this, and that is why they don't move to impeach. Think it couldn't happen? I wouldn't be so sure, the man is nuts...

I think everything you mentioned is possible...maybe even likely...but I hope like hell we're wrong!

O Little Town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

O little town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch,
How still we see thee lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary,
And, gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the King.
And peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming;
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him,
still The dear Christ enters in.

Where children, pure and happy,
Pray to the Blessed Child;
Where misery cries out to thee,
Son of the Mother mild;
Where charity stands watching,
And faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
and Christmas comes once more.

O Holy Child of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in;
Be born in us today!
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel!

Gary,

Just because Hillary's to the right of Bush on foreign policy you think that makes her a warmonger?

http://files.tikkun.org/current/article.php?story=20071213204557285&mode...

For the republicans, the words 'Hussein, Madrassa, Muslim and black' are not going to be as dirty as that filthy word, 'Hillary', which will be topped only by the monstrous obscenity:

'Clinton'.

Make that 2008.
