So, the powers that be and megarich tycoons are planning a 6 billion dollars upscale condo, super shopping mecca. Well, I thought we were spreading democracy, but I guess Bush meant commercialism.

I Like Pie, that's what you get when you have right-wing judges on the bench. I guess we can thank Bush for Alito and Roberts.

which means it's not a question of if there is going to be a U.S./Israel strike on Iran so much as when the strike will come.

What the hell is with Clinton's framing of economists using the "elitist" tag all about? She seems to be talking out of both sides of her face, one, bringing up the term "elitist" to appeal to the "regular folk" and two, mimicking GW's classic refrain "I listen to my generals.".

Is really quite simple, they think her gas tax plan is bunk and if you don't agree with her, you must be an elitist.

I'm sure this article, along with many others like it will have the Christian fundies absolutely terrified.  I just don't see why a lot of people feel threatened when they find out that a orangutan, chimp, or some other primate can learn new things and reason on their own.  To me, its great stuff! This also has a great video of Azy the orangutan that is able to count.

Not just Hillary. Read these crazy bloggers, anyone who goes against Clinton, is either stupid, irrelevant, or elitist. They've turned on Rep. Lewis(Ga), Gov. Richardson, Micheal Moore, etc., anyone who bolts against Hillary.

Well, well, well, looks like McCain and radical G. Gordon Liddy are BFF.
Let's see if the corporate media can bump off a Wright or Ayers story to fit this one in.

Don't hold your breath. I wish someone could add up the number of times the cable news channels have brought up the subject of wright in just the past week. Even though the average person isn't talking about the subject the talking heads won't allow it to die and insist on keeping it on life support.

I agree, but the sad part is that some Obama bloggers aren't any different. Dems seem to love tearing the shit out of each other,instead of going after the true enemy McCrazy and the rightwing trolls.

YourMom @ 20:

I'm starting to think the "R" in HRC stands for Rove.
I would have voted for her a year ago, but now that I've watched her campaign, it's all changed. I am seeing all the negatives I expect from republicans. She's nothing but another wealthy Washington insider who'll do anything to win.
Apologies to her supporters for this rant, but she's not the person I thought she was a decade ago. If this is "experience", I'd vote for inexperience.
Finally - NY really was just a stepping stone. She doesn't deserve their support either.

All those working stffs who are thinking of voting for Hillary because she say's she is going to bring jobs back to their state, should ask New Yorkers how those 100.000 jobs she promised them is working out.

More on the investigation and trial that dare not speak its name in the MSM or the so called "progressive" blogosphere.

http://www.jewishsf.com/content/2-0-/module/displaystory/story_id/35149/...

Phase II of the SSCI, the Aipac/Rosen espionage investigation/trial and other isssues that the MSM is not reporting on
The completion of Phase II of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence was mentioned on C-Span’s Washington Journal this morning. It was mentioned how sections of the investigation including the Office of Special Plans had not been completed.

Tim Starks of the Congressional Quarterly discussing U.S. Intelligence issues. He talked about the incomplete Phase II of the SSCI
http://www.c-span.org/homepage.....iveDays=30

Also on C-Span on the same program a mention of how the MSM has not touched the investigation of the Aipac/Rosen espionage trial. Worth the listen

I Called the United States Court Eastern District of Virginia/Alexandria division this morning (703-299-2102) spoke with Kathy about the U.S. vs.Rosen/Weissman case #05CR225) she said there were two motions today having to do with that case. She believed the public could attend today at 5:22 and 5:29 p.m. at 401 Courthouse square Alexandria Virginia.

We know the MSM has barely whispered anything about this investigation or trial. Chris Matthews once whispered that the trial had been delayed once again. According to several people at the Courthouse a trial date will more than likely be set at some point.

Wonder if the MSM will ever turn their spotlight on this critical investigation and trial. The American public are completely in the dark about this

Justin Raimando over at antiwar.com has written about this investigation and trial.

Saw this on Glenn Greenwalds article in Salon..quoting Tim Russert to Obama

The administration, we have reported at NBC, are drawing up some plans for potential airstrikes in Iran at different missile weapons factories or special force compounds because we have indications, evidence that the Iranians are helping some of their supporters within Iraq to kill U.S. troops

is timmy at it again??..like Yogi says"it's da javu ..all over again"

True, Diamond. I am one of the people you are rightfully criticizing. I can't wait to go after McWar. But when some of the bloggers here put out absolute lies on Obama supporters claiming that whites are supporting Obama because of "white guilt" suggesting that Obama has no qualifications but white people feel guilt and sorrow for him and black people, well McFraud will have to wait. If I as a Obama supporter don't address that unfounded racial bullshit immediately,I feel we'll go down like John Kerry before the general election. I'll stop my attacks and concentrate on McCrazy when the Hillary followers stop the lies and the race baiting.

The neo-cons started beating the pre-emptively attack Iran war drum immediately after the illegal invasion of Iraq. Reuel Marc Gerecht, Micheal Ledeen, John Bolton, Cheney, Bill Kristol, Ari Fleisher, the Kagan's, Richard Perle, etc were all over the MSM and talk radio ( I heard Bolton repeating all sorts of unsubstantiated claims about Iran on Neil Conan's Talk of the Nation last year) Neil did not challenge him once when Bolton was going on and on about what a threat Iran is.

Russert let Cheney repeat all unsubstantiated claims about Iran several years ago. Did not challenge him.

More recently Chris Matthew allowed Senator McCain to get away with repeating these false claims about Iran.

George Stephanapoulous did the same with McCain recently. Stephanpoulous repeated some of the Iran hogwash himself.

Now we have Senator Clinton saying she will "obliterate" Iran.

This stage has been set for quite some time and the MSM has not challenged these claims about Iran.

"(A) startling increase in the number of folks who identify as Democrats."

Is that like turning into a werewolf?

Is turning into a Democrat making an ass of oneself?
