It's hard work.
Media finally got it right.
The Commerce Department reported Thursday, May 1, 2008, that consumer spending, once inflation was removed, was up 0.1 percent in March.

Re: Citizen Crain,
Nice to know the dems are so unified in their front against the reslugs. Or is that so unified FOR the reslugs? Can't decide. They need to flip a coin and decide.
MargeAggedon @ 3:
I think unified in their support for the Reslugs. The Dems are just more subtle, skilled, and competent in the way they hide it from the public.
Brought to you by the Pentagon Broadcasting System . . we need to all come together for a couple of months and throw all of these bums out of office. I will be sending Cindy Sheehan some of my federal reserve monopoly money. Nancy is a good person and she is a wonderful grandma . . .
For those who missed it, check out Howard Dean's interview on The Daily Show:

PBS!!!!
Thanks for the link, sweetie!
hey C & L you should try and put up Conan O'Brien's "interview" with Rev. Wright. It was pretty funny.
Paul D @ 6:
No thanks. Nothing personal Paul. It's just another lacquered head on the tube yapping away at this point.
L.A. Confidential @ 10:
"Yah we're going to do this for ya and we're going to do that for ya and ya man all you people got to do is sit and do nothing man and you'll get rich just like us!"
L.A. Confidential @ 2:
Can you imagine what the CPI will look like when inflation eventually creaps into all sectors? They will always keep the CPI number at plus 1-2% while saying (this number excludes the costs of food, energy, household appliances, automotive, real estate, apparel, etc) all of which will be rising in price.
I'm surprised this one didn't make the round up, from AOL news:
Bush Disapproval Rating Makes History
WASHINGTON (May 1) - A new poll suggests that President Bush is the most unpopular president in modern American history.

L.A. Confidential @ 4:
Agreed.
Joe O. @ 12:
Yes I can imagine. We're going to wakeup one day and the economy is going to be Dead on Arrival.
So, who will NOT be celebrating Israel's 60th anniversary?
Check this article:

Have you seen THIS???

Clinton advisor calling Indianans Shit and worthless white n*****rs.
wtf?! This is disgusting.
for moderator: off topic but a big union Iraq War protest that shuts down port of Long Beach and port of Los Angeles. Would make a good lead on C&L

Jeff @ 15:
That's from 1992. If Kantor isn't advising Shillary in her current slash & burn campaign, it bears no relevance now.
Jeff @ 15:
wow, I saw it early this morning, but it probably won't make the main stream media. :(
patty @ 16:
That was posted yesterday.
Jeff @ 15:
Don't need to watch it. Let me guess just another greedy narcissistic sob like everyone else involved in politics these days?
National Day of Prayer - give me a break!
How about a National Day of telling the truth.
I could go for a National Day of Making Love (not War).
Okay I watched. Carville and Lil George and Kantor.
What did you expect from these lowlifes. Respect for the common man?
They are freaking POLITICAL ADVISOR'S. The lowest form of life on Earth!
ya'll need to see this and pass it along.

If this happened on the Obama's camp it would already be all over the cable news channels.
YourMom @ 21:
There's a "National Day of Reason" set up to counter the religious stupidity.
http://www.nationaldayofreason.org/
Late now but there's always next year.
Dr. Acula @ 19:
great C&L is on top of things as for me I was out doing yard work and didn't touch the computer or watch the tellie all day.
RE: Citizen Crain: DNC’s “Talk to the Hand” Outreach
It's always difficult to discuss the downsides of Affirmative Action because to do so one is labelled racist, just as certainly as one who mentions the Israeli Genocide of the Palestinians is certain to be labelled anti-semitic.
Yet both discussions are valid and necessary.
So perhaps it's a good thing that this conflict has erupted within the Democratic Party.
Hopefully so-called Liberals and Progressives will be less likely to automatically label as racist those who point out the glaring inequities and political conflicts spawned by Affirmative Action.
Replacing de facto White Male Entitlement with Minority Entitlement Statutes simply "rearranges the deck chairs" of the underlying racism and sexism. If does not end the racism or the sexism. In fact, in many ways it accentuates the very problems it was intended to address.
So .. where do we go from here?
Hmm... Maybe if they prayed Bush and Cheney left office this month versus next year, and that the press would get a clue...
Thanks for the spotlight! However brief...
So much better than my feeble Welcome mat and
dismal decorating...
Where are my sunglasses?
I'm deeply grateful.
Excellent electorial punditry:
