I had no idea there was a rumor about Tucker running for the Libertarian Party. Well, it's false...straight from the ass' mouth.
We don't need McCain to answer the phone at 3am. Hillary stays awake, fully dressed all night long and waits by the phone for it to ring.
"Good Girl Roxie: 8 million Americans are “potential suspects” in an illegal domestic surveillance program"
This is why the neo-cons are compared to Stalinists and Trotskyites,...is these politices are more totalitarian than American, and certainly not democratic. I say BAD KHARMA on you General William "the Bloody" Krystol and the rest of your cohorts, and your Leo Strauss-ian shennanigans.
"TPMCafe: Liberal pundits offer an unprecedented apology."
No need for apologies. America we are all in this together.
Bring It On! A bad day to be a climate-change denying Christian creationist?
This ties into another article out there in the blogiverse concerning Obama's choice for a VP, and the Inconvenient Truth of the issue of global warming. Please see here:

The Washington Independent: Burger King to tomato pickers: Have it your way
Just had a $1 chicken sandwich at Burger King to counteract the money I am losing on high gas prices. At least they are not hiking their food prices.
Pensito Review: One guy who won’t ready for any 3 AM phone calls.
There is a vid which points out the inconsistency of Bill and Hillary saying she mis-spoke about Bosnian snipers because she was old and was tired, and then to say she will be ready for a 3AM phone call, It can be seen here:

God bless you, America...God bless you and stay thirsty my friends. Thirsty for taking back American under true democratic ideals. Amen.

Why you think Bill Gates is the richest man on the planet?
This article goes right along with what I was saying about the Turkish mediated Israeli/Syrian peace talks. The most telling thing from them is the fact that the once looked to United States was not invited to be the mediator. This says a lot about how much influence, power, and over all standing the United States has lost during the Bush years. Heck, the the Israelis are giving Washington the snub.
Mideast negotiations now bypassing Washington
WASHINGTON — In a week of dramatic developments in the Middle East, the most dramatic development of all may have been the fact that the United States, long considered the region's indispensable player, was missing in action.
As its closest allies cut deals with their adversaries this week over the Bush administration's opposition, Washington was largely reduced to watching.

Without a doubt. I've known since Bush was appointed for term 2 that if anything happens they'll probably be knocking on my door. Yours too along with anyone else who has spoken out about the illegal war.

Our tax dollars, our military and the blood of our soldiers used for war profiteering war criminals and if that's not enough we STILL pay $4.00 at the pump?
HAD ENOUGH?
IMPEACH.
INDICT.
IMPRISON.
That 'Good Girl Roxie' blog touches on the data mining and DHS 'COG' NSPD51 and the 02/14/08 'Civil Assistance Plan' aka 'treason plan' all worrying stuff for human rights and civil liberties when abused by our overlords in DC.
Ruthless People @ 14:
was reading one website where they say $12 or $15 will soon be the norm, then rationing will kick in due to future shortages.
People are driving less now, $10 plus gas will cripple our economy big time.
bored, so am off to test my modded Pioneer B20s
ferrofluid @ 17:
Turn it down when you drive down our block.
Thanks
I'm just guessing here because I haven't a clue. But as long as Obama and Hillary are still in the race, I think C&L has decided to not post negatives on either of them. McCain is fair game for numerous reasons, but for now I think they are staying mum on the dems race.
Maybe I'm wrong and I missed a negative post here on Hillary or Obama at some time past, but I can't recall there being one. Plus can you imagine the nasty troll comments that would be left here is they did post about Hillary's remarks? It would take three site monitors working at full throttle to keep up with them.
So anyway that's what I think. So now we are off to the paint store to buy paint to paint our kitchen. Do we know how to have fun on a weekend or what?

Memorial Day
To all the soldiers who fought for freedom and instead we got Bush, $4 gal gas, $15 per bag airline search charge, domestic spying, a trashed constitution, etc.
he he,
HAD ENOUGH? VOTE DEMOCRAT.
Oh wait. We did that in 2006.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH? NOW WHAT?
want to save gas ? keep your driveing down? the answer is simple , go back to the days when thier was a mom and pop grocery store on every other block, a local movie theater in your neibhorhood , a gas station on every other block, and four cylinder cars! break out that old model t, and crank that sucker up, visit your local public swimming pool , set on the porch with the folks next door sipping lemmon aid ans swapping gossip about the loose girl down the street, just get back to the basics,

Jeesus it's just a blog. On any given day you can read comments criticizing C&L for supporting Obama. If you want some entertainment, go to Talkleft and read the whining of the Hillary supporters.

FYI Mike Finnigan ,
The last time I followed one of your links to Pensito Review (A centrist Clinton backing blog) and made a series of progressive comments about stooping the war and not supporting Clinton, the guy who runs the site J. Ponder took it upon himself to track down my real name and where I lived so that he could use that info to stop me from posting on his site.
[I forwarded your message to Mike-Sitemonitor]
i just watched cnns feature on the guys and gals who quote have given thier lives in iraq and afganistan ! i find it ofensive to hear these news whores use the words , given thier lives , like they were so much cattle , they gave nothing , it was taken from them no different then a rape or a robbery, given ,jesus the stupidity of thoes who never served!
This type of illegal government surveillance has a long and storied history, it began with the Red Scare in the 50's, it lost it's mind over the Vietnam war protests of the late 60's, was revealed in the 70's by the Church Commission and is probably best understood as COINTELPRO. DOD has recently added it's own paranoid wrinkles that have included stalking Quaker peace groups. Scott Ritter has an excellent post on the subject of The Pentagon vs. America at:
http://www.truthdig.com/report/page3/20080505_the_pentagon_vs_america/
If you are interested in the history of this state run paranoia see:

The real enemies of our democracy have deluded themselves into believing that we are the enemy. Chasing us around before 9/11 probably allowed 9/11 to happen.
Bison @ 29:
That Pensito is a "centrist Clinton-backing blog" doedsn't concern me. There's room for everyone in the truly big tent of MBR. If J Ponder did what you claim, is not OK. Will look into this.
8 million Americans are “potential suspects” in an illegal domestic surveillance program
I also read about this in Steve Audio's blog. If there were millions of school teachers on that list, they would all have to be arrested together, leaving millions of schools closed, parents unable to go to work (including law officers) since they would be stuck with their children, leading to a general work slowdown nationwide. I wonder if those smartasses who created that program thought about that.
Ambien, ba ha ha ha ha! Maybe he can't sleep because there is still some tiny shread of guilty conscience.. Wow, Site Monitor you're quite agressive today, ever tried Ambien?
eric @ 33:
It's worse than that. These are the people who are being tracked under the Continuity of Government program. In case of a national disaster, or just imposition of an Executive Branch government, they have a list of people they think would create problems for a martial law government, and these 8 million comprise the list. Whether the government would directly incarcerate these individuals, harass them, etc is (to the best of my knowledge) not publicly known.
This is the program that Ashcroft and Comey were most likely adamantly against signing. And for them to think it bad, it must really be contemptible.
Mickey Finn @ 32:
That they backed Clinton or took a centrist view did not concern me either, I only mention it for context, it was the really angry and sometimes insulting way in witch the posters on that site responded to my comments. When I told them that I would not stop speaking my mind, that is when I found out that they were snooping for information about me, some of witch they posted briefly on their site. Mr. Ponder personally put my real name up on reddit.com when i noticed and pointed out that he was pushing his own site through that site.
I love Berube's piece especially. Welcome back!
" Last October, the elite’s enthusiasm for Hillary was revealed when Lynn Forester de Rothschild, wife of Sir Evelyn Rothschild, said “Hillary will be good for America,” that is to say good for Rothschild and the elite. Lord Rothschild supports John McCain, but then there really is little difference between McCain and Clinton. As for Obama, he is considered an outsider, never mind he is supported by Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Trilateral Commission, and the Ford Foundation. Call it a New World Order family feud. And like the legendary Hatfield-McCoy family feud, people may end up dead.
It would be more accurate to call it a feud between cosche, or Mafia crime families. "

i have had my opinion pulled off of this site for conspiracy theory reasons in the past, but if you read the following articles:
"Good Girl Roxie: 8 million Americans are “potential suspects” in an illegal domestic surveillance program" on mike's blog and this article from the NYT:
"270 Illegal Immigrants Sent to Prison in Federal Push", link here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/24/us/24immig.html?th&emc=th,
then you will understand why bush and cheney have made this administration and
govt. the most dangerous terrorist group in the world.

they only think they fight for freedom. the only fight to expand and secure empire and the privilege of US corporations (*foreign owned) to exploit other vulnerable and easy-picken states.
