Hi Mike -
Thanks for including me in today's roundup! Appreciate it.
Heard a B3 track by Mike Finnigan nationwide on CBC radio's jazz program last nite ... cool
Lindsey Graham and Lieberman?
It says in the Google search that C&L is a "...politically left blog..." or something similar. Might be a good idea to add "Politically left in US politics". US left is different from left everywhere else on the planet.

Seemingly half the GOP going by the news some days.
McC*nt is also a closet supporter of La Raza the segregationist group, divide and rule (via fear) is the GOP way.
As with Carlos Mencia the other day doing his Obama hit piece, they want everybody isolated, compliant and in their pockets.
No unity and everybody working together for justice and a future for all, by McNasty,
just same ol same ol Republican fascism, everybody in their fear ridden place, no matter how degraded or poverty stricken.

thats the cunning plan mortal ;)

For the White House and the majority of the Senate, the FISA compromise has been hailed as a political breakthrough. "I think the White House got a better deal than even they had hoped to get," Republican Sen. Kit Bond told the New York Times.
Sen. Barack Obama, a reluctant supporter of the bill, said he would work to strip telecom immunity from its language. However, he added, "My view on FISA has always been that the issue of the phone companies per se is not one that overrides the security interests of the American people."

I'm still debating the mix of cowardice and corruption in the Dems over the telecom immunity thing. There's some of both.
McCain meets (in private) with Log Cabin Republicans
Here is a song that would be appropriate for such a meeting. lol
Lumberjack Lyrics
Artist: Monty Python
McCain:
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.
Log Cabin Republicans:
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
McCain:
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.
Log Cabin Republicans:
He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
McCain:
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.
Log Cabin Republicans:
He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
McCain:
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa.
Log Cabin Republicans:
He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!
[talking]
What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!...
[singing]
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.
BaScOmBe hearts Lara Logan @ 6:
Thank You to Dick Durbin for voting against this.
Now if only the other Senator from my home-state (Obama) had your moxy!
Captain Obama’s Bitter Half Husein Kangaroo @ 2:
Log Cabin Republicans = Jews For Hitler. Fuck 'em.
:lol: I'm just slowly scrollin' along, fried from no sleep and the awful Addington and Yoo this morning, and BAM... got my blood pumping again... thanx.... :lol:
