bam?
What really pisses me off is now we have Senators who are asking about the behavior of the thousands of contractors who ripped off billions. What the hell have you been doing for the last five years morons?! Oh, I forgot. The 109th congress was in Republican hands. Thanks for nothing! I guess now the middle class and their children will pick up the tab. Christ, I need a drink or to get some Prozac.
Google removed images from its map service at the Pentagon's request.

Did anyone get through the Moyers show about J Sidneys support from Hagee yet without throwing up?

Well, Obama sure as hell wouldn't! He's got friends of friends there.
I've had the most horrible thought. Did Obama register with the Selective Service when he turned 18? We know McCain is going to emphasize his military service and that Obama didn't serve in the military. What if...as an October Surprise...the Republican swiftboaters reveal that Obama never even registered? Please, tell me that Obama at least registered.
"J. Sidney McCain lll says America’s neighborhoods are like Baghdad"
She should know. Doesn't she go shopping at the Mall of Baghdad all the time?
Give somebody some botox and they think they can solve the world!
adorian @ 7:
Registering is no longer done and hasn't been since the 70's. Obama wasn't 18 in the 70's
Janet Hussein @ 9:
Not the case:
Almost all male U.S. citizens, and male aliens living in the U.S., who are 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service. It's important to know that even though he is registered, a man will not automatically be inducted into the military.

10,000 Republican voters "crossed-over" to the Democratic primaries specifically to try to defeat congressman Kucinich in his bid to remain in office as possibly the most honest and courageous member of congress. The Cleveland corporates, including the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper, and the RNC have spent enormous sums of money campaigning to remove this true champion of the people.
Dennis talks about it here.

Oil. $107, a new inflation-adjusted record and the fifth new high in the last six sessions.

To my thinking, getting rid of the draft was a bad thing for American Society. The draft should be brought back, maybe a modified draft where you serve two years minimum but it doesn't have to be military, you can select to go into Peace-Corps or some kind of U.S. Service. And for doing this service you are guaranteed two years of college free. That would give young people in America a boot up to get on their way to education.
I was drafted, served my time and have to say, the service set me on the right track. Before going in I was headed for trouble, but they taught me to live with people and how to be part of a team.
I won't happen though, because i really believe the Government is afraid of an Educated America. An America full of thinkers would cripple the government for one thing and also take a big chunk out of the Evangelical Right. The dumber the population, the more easy to control them.

just drink some tap water apparently it got everyting you need, now with hormones!
A conversation I had Friday with a repuglican "aquaintance" while picking up lunch at a diner.
Repug-
"Hey, Mr. Democrat, how are ya?"
Me-
Hey man, doin ok, how are you doin? And for the record, I'm registered unaffiliated."
Repug-
"Doin ok, and for the record, you should hear yourself speak."
At this point, he smirked and walked away, before I could reply.
This is the same guy who told me that "oil is a renewable resource" and "global warming is a liberal conspiracy against American corporations."
What an asshole. Total ignorant asshole.
Bangkok Bob ☻ @ 14:
That's what Germany does, everyone serves at least one year, either the military, or civil service.
Austria is two years, I think.
I think that's a great idea.
The Math... Connect the Dots
VOTE IN MASSIVE NUMBERS FOR OBAMA. TAKE PICTURES
--> Republicons are being told to vote for HILLARY; ie. Ohio, Texas, and next... Mississippi
--> Stop the Republicons and the Republicon Light
--> Fox Head Murdoch Had Fundraiser For HILLARY
U.S. Media Propagandists + Cable + Fox News = 0% CREDIBILITY: ACCOMPLICES
Bush + Cheney = 0 % CREDIBILITY: UNDER INVESTIGATION. HIGH CRIMES AGAINST THE NATION
Supporters of Bush and Cheney In Congress = VOTE THEM OUT: ACCOMPLICES
Bush Appointments and Endorsements = MORE OF THE SAME: CRIMINAL COVERUP
--> Bush Endorsement = MCCAIN, ROMNEY

No one could have predicted that Doug Feith would continue to say really stupid things.

I had feith that he would.
The Slate article:
Talk about 'activist' judges... Here's the right wing being blatantly hypocritical as usual.
As usual, the rights of corporations trumps the rights of women (just as an example).
The hypocrisy is sickening.

Nice one, Blogenfreude. Feith can't be slammed enough.
And what about KBR? It's bad enough to gouge the taxpayer, but at least do a competent job!

It seems Israel/Zionists learned from the best. Hitler would have been proud.
This week, another Jewish Member of Parliament says to Arab Members of Parliament, “One day we will ‘take care of you’”.
Last week one of his colleagues said, “One day we will expel you from Israel”.

I’m so proud to be a citizen of that fascist state [/snark]. Good thing I left while I still had my sanity.

Thanks for posting a link to a hack who was paid to sell her mother and a persecuted nation for a couple of dollars.
It doesn't take long for the ADL and other Israeli propaganda machinery to kick into play once PR "damage control" is needed in favor of Israel's image.

Thanks Abraham Foxman, or whoever is on shift today at the Israeli Propaganda Network
