Speaking of death and destruction, Homeland Security is forcing the Apache people from their lands in Texas and destroying the community there to build a border fence.

It's been 2,358 days since the Tyrant George WMD Bush said he'd catch the 9/11 conspirator Osama bin Laden 'Dead or Alive???'

Buckley died from embarrassment.

All that Gingrich bootlicking and fine argument about Reagan's superior moral values (selling weapons to Iran) produced Boy Wonder and the staggering, bubo-encrusted drunk of the neocon-lican party.

What a life of stupidity dressed up in intellectual charm earns you. Lie down with oil men, get up bathed in bloody grease, Bill. No wonder you checked out.

"According to Icasualties.org, the total US deaths confirmed to date is 3,973"

It is no longer possible to separate those deaths from deaths in Afghanistan CAUSED by diversion of men and materiel to Iraq. How many soldiers died in Afghanistan as a direct result of the focus on Iraq?

3973
0483
------
4456

And ten times that many permanently injured.

And 2000 times that many Iraqis likely blown to bits.

LAS CRUCES, N.M., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Bill Richardson has assured the New Mexico taxpayer will foot the bill for another in a series of poor decisions made by private counsel and political allies who stand to gain from his reckless decisions. Yesterday, the Richardson Administration used Gestapo tactics to block access to Federal Indian Trust property by tribal employees, workers, and tribal members of the Fort Sill Apache tribe in Akela, New Mexico. The Fort Sill Apache tribe will not be bullied by these corrosive attempts to destroy our longstanding agreements with the Federal Government, said Tribal Chairman Jeff Houser.

The Father of the conservative guiding principle of 'Intellectual Dishonesty', William F. Buckley was the originator of the smarmy, manipulating "I'm better than you because I'm richer than you" bully-smirk that's so prevalent on Fox News today. And now is revered by 'Yellow Elephant' Republicans everywhere, self-serving soldiers of Darwinian Capitalism that they are.
Yeah, that's a great contribution to mankind.

Buckley was a crypto-fascist tool.

If it were up to conservatives, we'd still be an English colony.

we could save a lot of lives if we just
put bush and cheney on the front line
of the iraq war with the same kind of
equipment they sent our soldiers with
in the first place...........totally inadequate
and unsafe.

I din't hear anything at all in the British media about Mike Smith dying. How sad. The music of my youth.

"Bits and Pieces"

RIP to all those listed.

58721 killed in Vietnam, W doesn't have a thing on US soldiers combat deaths compared to JFK/LBJ.

JFK number of war deaths? ZERO to very few.

LBJ was a jackal during the cold war, when we had 10,000 ACTUAL nuclear weapons pointed at us. There is no comparison now.

W's death toll is from an illegal, genocidal policy which matches very well to Vietnam in its PUBLIC death toll (1 million dead). He has committed an almost endless number of atrocities.

Since you're defending him, you wear the blood of the innocent. Try washing that off.

Expect the four ton figure to go up by the end of the month...

Richard Prior, a derivative comic who spent most of his career boring Merv Griffin audiencies

You were right until you displayed your (closet racism?) attack on R. Pryor, quite possibly the funniest comedian of the later 20th Century. His schtick showed an almost impossible capacity for mimicry, for those little stories he told which held audiences in rapt hysteria for HOURS.

I agree that McCarty's passage was not given good enough coverage -- that's because the media is not under our control and doesn't even try to be worthy of their licences. That's going to change. By 2010 we will be dismantling FOX and the other media monopolies.

We need to shift the 1 in 100 imprisonment machine until its lawnmower is clipping the little bastards where they live.

William F Buckley's stance against socialized schools and medical system was in direct contradiction to his Catholic faith. Hello Spirit Buckley Jesus was a socialist!

Not much in the MSm about what is taking place in the Gaza. Not much in the so called "progressive" blogosphere either

ANYONE HEAR OR SEE ANY NEWS ON WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE IN THE GAZA THE LAST FEW DAYS ON OLBERMAN, MATTHEWS, FOX OR ANYWHERE ELSE?

Since the majority of the US media is shut down to what is taking place in the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Here are a few links to here a Palestinian reporter from the Gaza. Who reports that 130 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli’s in the last few days… 39 of them children. Three Israeli’s have been killed.

The Palestinian reporter describes smelling flesh and seeing arms legs and fingers of Palestinians in the streets

Really worth the listen..the whole show

Amy Goodman also interviews A reporter from the Jewish media outlet Haartz, She reports that there is no news about what is really taking place for the Palestinians in the Gaza.
