You need Uncle Sam, Iraq told
Instead of moving toward accommodating the demand of Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki for a timetable for United States military withdrawal, the George W Bush administration and the US military leadership are continuing to pressure their erstwhile client regime to bow to the US demand for a long-term military presence in the country.
The emergence of this defiant US posture toward the Iraqi withdrawal demand underlines just how important long-term access to military bases in Iraq has become to the US military and national security bureaucracy in general.

Hehe. Would Bill O'Reilly be that hemorrhoid?

Best headline in a long time from FoxNews.com:
Florida Woman Attacked by Fox, Then shot by husband.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,391544,00.html
Is that Mitt Romney on the left?
Ironic story of the week:
McCain was scheduled to hold a press conference off the coast of Louisiana on a oil platform concerning how much safer the oil industry has become and it was canceled due to an oil spill that shut down the Mississippi River for 2 days
---------------
First ships crawl down Mississippi after spill
The first of 200 ships idled by a massive oil spill began crawling down the Mississippi River Friday after the Coast Guard reopened the waterway to traffic, but it could be days before all of the ships are cleared.
A 100-mile stretch of the river has been shut down since Wednesday, when a barge split open in a collision with the Liberian-flagged tanker Tintomara. Roughly 419,000 gallons spilled into the fast-flowing waterway to commerce, and crews have sopped up about 11,000 — just a fraction of what the barge was carrying.

Why do republicans hate poor people?
Senate Republicans block heating aid bill
WASHINGTON - Republicans on Saturday blocked the Senate from considering a bill next week that would nearly double federal aid to help the poor pay heating and air-conditioning bills.
Although a dozen Senate Republicans support the measure, most voted with GOP leaders who would rather spend the time trumpeting their call to expand offshore oil drilling before Congress takes six weeks off for vacation and the presidential nominating conventions.

McCain’s Gaffe, on California’s Ban on Trans Fats
When does McInsane NOT gaffe?
He doesn't remember events. He doesn't know what countries border the countries we're at war with. He doesn't know the difference between Shia and Sunni Muslims. He can't remember the history of the "surge" he's so proud about. He has to have other criminals like Joe Liemoreman whispering in his ear constantly. He said twice in three days an incorrect comment about Checkloslavakia. A country that has not existed since 1992!
Let's face it, McInsane is ready for "The Villages" retirement community, not the White House.

what the fuck is wrong with these people?
All the serial killers in history had one thing in common. Lack of empathy.
Clearly we've been sold down a river of fecal matter without a boat, much less paddles (or shovels).
We (the good old USA) have become the neo-Roman empire. And Rome is on fire. Good luck, because we're all going to need it. Even getting through the next few months will be hard as our currency collapses, and thus our economy, and then we'll be totally reliant on serial killers for our basic needs.

he's more than earned this humiliation.
Charles @ 40:
All empires produce the men who destroy it from within in their lust for unlimited power. In conquering the world, they include the populations of their own countries. Everyone is an enemy or a potential enemy.
Therefore no empathy, but mostly, they are dissociative and do not connect with others in any real sense, making empathy impossible.

CoIntelPro for Pronktastic Victory Over SCLM, DIEBOLD, ESS and SEQUOIA! @ 41:
I think so. I don't really understand what's happening here with the government arranged bail out/purchases of these failing banks. Does Mutual of Omaha use their own money to purchase these two banks, or is it this $300 billion fund they are using to buy them? And this is very complex from an accounting aspect. These two banks being purchased have large capital/note assets, but also large amounts of liabilities. What happens to the liabilities such as bad loans debt? Is it erased? Does the FDIC or other federal entities pick up or back the bad loans? And I'm also wondering how they're going to handle all the actual houses they'll foreclose on if it's increasingly difficult to obtain a mortgage? Will they just keep the houses? The whole thing is insane and there is little to no information being dispensed to the public (as usual by the corporate media).
I think we have no idea about the entire scope of these issues or the number of failing banks involved or the assets involved or what will occur in the secondary mortgage market (drives the entire mortgage industry and is in complete and total implosion/meltdown) in the future.

It might be twice that number. There is no way to know and the CEO's of these companies have been lying their asses off about these debt write offs. Just like Bear Sterns CEO did. Alan Schwartz publicly stated that Bear was worth $80 per share break up value on the Friday before the Fed stepped in and arranged a buy out at $10/share. Shouldn't he be in jail for making such a false statement? But, alas, there is no justice for the rich in this country. The rule of law is for us, not them. It's their rule and their law.

there ARE ways to know and the information is available. go to Democracy now and have a look at what they reveal. the biggest problem is not a bailout, it's that the banking system is global and heavily cross-invested. Stock values don't mean as much as the available loan reserves and solvency.

Exactly. And what I thought was...since Enron have any of these large corporations really had a certifiable audit? It's all fake. It's all criminal complicity. It's all insider trading. It's all part of the facade. And how is it that the SEC doesn't investigate corporate officers for making patently false public statements about their stock? That's supposed to be totally illegal, but not under the Fascist Corporate States of Amurika any longer.
Charles @ 72:
yes, I heard that. I remember reading that there is also a provision preventing people from applying for relief if it is to prevent foreclosure. also, the 1.3Billion allegedly for homeowners goes essentially to the warehousing of foreclosed homes. so the bill is a bailout, pure and simple.

boosh has cut the budget for any branch of the executive that is involved in corporate governance.
Just look at the corporate officers and members of boards of directors of the airlines that went into bankruptcy protection after 9/11. They all made vastly MORE money after the government bail out then before. Go check out Delta for one. It's all a sell out game. It's the have everything group versus the have nothing group. All of our assets are being systematically stolen from us and given to a small group of ass holes. Free market, my ass! This is manipulation on a level never seen before in human history.

So what do you think is going to happen? Is this the pathway these insane criminals are using to usher in the North American Union and our new currency?
whenever boosh decides NOTTO VETO a bill, you can be sure it will do nothing at best for any human being. that's where he draws the line.
If there is no way to sell these warehoused/grouped mortgage securities, that means that the lenders can only have one loan. They have to liquidate the current loan to borrow more money from the Fed at the discount rate. The whole system collapses if the investment banks can't sell the securities. And with our currency so debt saturated, it's just one more financial pitfall after another.

Of course this will not affect the upper echelon of managers and friends of Arnie.
So many are going to just jump ship and leave for other jobs never to return, California will collapse.
But a shining example of Republican small government in action, finally they will have a showcase of it in action.
Exactly...It's like waiting for any branch of our government to take some action that actually helps the general people of this country. Let's face it, the stimulus package was a total joke. They just subsidized the increase in gas for the summer. And you know they're going to screw us next year on this year's taxes. Hahahaha! There's just no end to the amount we're getting hosed.

keep in mind that the mortgages are insured, so Insurance companies are on the hook too. so it ain't just going to be banks.

California is either going to have to raise the state income tax to cover the shortfall or go cap in hand to the Federal gov and beg for money.
The former will cause the rich and middle classes to scream in outrage and kick the Repugs out of office.
The latter will effectively hand over the government and the power to DC, leaving California a chattel powerless state.
Right on. And I'm sitting here thinking...what the hell are we all going to do? This is happening almost too fast to react to. I guess we just stock up on food and water and wait to see what goes down. Whatever it is, I've got a bad feeling about it. Really bad.
ferrofluid...Yes, and CA is a large percentage of the GDP. So if they go down (can't purchase items, can't keep their jobs, can't keep their homes, can't pay taxes), that means the whole country implodes. Bye'd bye!

McCain To Obama: Welcome Home, Troop Hater
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/26/mccain-to-obama-welcome-h_n_115...
The use of wounded troops as a political football to damage Obama is beneath contempt and is a clear demonstration that McCain is not fit to lead the country in terms of ethical behavior, judgment, temperament, honesty and integrity. Any politician who would stoop so low cannot be trusted with his hands on the reigns of power.
This smear is so callous, calculated and despicable that it is sure to backfire in the face of the Republican party. The American people have had more than enough of this kind of depravity from the Republican party.
I think John McCain is just a negative type of person. McCain has a mean spirit and a whole negative attitude surrounding himself and his campaign. Has anyone else noticed that?

Yeah, I know...depraved isn't it? I just know that I probably know quite a few people for whom this will be a hardship...

your as pissed as i am about this...no matter what obama does....they take the opposing side....it's so obvious...it's
sickening to me...i'm not wired for such bullshit....but there are people that want to hate this guy just because of that (D) by his name....they're constantly framing for the the haters...the black and white thinkers...everytime i listen to mcBush he is laying down the hate on obama..i hope independents and middle class republicans use their grey matter and think about this.
John McCain is turning into Bob Dole right before our eyes. When he is shown on television, all he does is piss and moan about Barack. History is pretty telling how our electorate feels about whiny old farts.
On another note, I caught one minute (which is one minute too many) of Lou Dobbs' show today...it was nauseating listening to his substitute talk about the Obama campaign... I know I'm stating the obvious by stating that Lou Dobbs is nauseating, but I still felt the need to!
Annaleigh @ 105:
here's the deal they equate wanting to help as wanting to help everybody which they feel creates co-dependency...i personally don't feel that democrats want to help everybody as much as they want to help those that need help.....the people at poverty level has increased tremendously.....that affect them the most but it affects everyone.
DC @ 104:
yup but it's much more than that. this is turning into a culture war again maybe not as intense as the recent elections.....this gets to be about disliking/hating somebody who isn't like yourself....there are people who believe certain people think they're better than them and vice versa.example there might be church goers who actually don't like people who don't go to church because they think they're being judged for going to church.
I think John McCain is just a negative type of person. McCain has a mean spirit and a whole negative attitude surrounding himself and his campaign.
There is nothing positive coming from John McCain or his staff.
Has anyone else noticed that?
constituent @ 110:
Yes something is not very positive is starting to take place. McCain seems to hit the negative aspect on any issue. It seems McCain will do anything to destroy America's belief in a better future just so that he can be elected. I can not really cocalize it.
constituent @ 109:
That's true, but honestly, I don't see it so much as them being leery about having to help everyone, but rather not giving a crap about anyone but themselves. It's just really shameful...
DC @ 111:
he may be negative but i personally think there are a lot of negative ......especially when it comes to being judgmental....these campaigns especially the (R) understand human behavior and psychology. they work with marketing firms and linguistic consultants. as a rule people are insecure and want to relate to a group.it's complicated i'm not saying mccain isn't negative but it's also his strategy from consultants
That looks like Dobson on the right. He's a hemorrhoid if there ever was one. He's the granddaddy of hemorrhoids.

Site Monitor(s)
I saw an article on yahoo news a few days ago about how the results of lobbyists in the food industry being so successful in getting monitoring standards watered down had led to an outbreak of food contaminations and poisonings. Probably as a PR move, they've agreed to stricter monitoring provided they have "an input" into the new system (which will probably still be less than what was wanted in the first place). I'd say they'd done enough.
The question is, is this appropriate for an article on C and L
Secondly, have you ever covered Joe Bageant's book "Deer Hunting with Jesus" which explains why the people most punished by the Republican Party still vote for them and what the Democrats are always up against (and have to learn to overcome). If it's never had a post, is it also worth one? I thought the reasons for why a lot of people vote Republican when you'd think they rationally shouldn't was eye opening and since the election's coming up, it's especially the sort of thing the Democrats have to counter.
Thanks.

Charles @ 95:
I can tell you what is happening Charles. The current ruling party knows, that if much more crap happens economically, they may not be in power for years maybe decades, so they are repaying all their rich campaign contributors before the boat sinks. Apparently nobody told them that voters are so stupid that they actually made the last two elections close enough to Diebold and win, and the third one is actually a win/win situation for them no matter who the victor is. That's just what I see from north of the faux border.
