We usually don't cover daytime talk shows here at C&L, but Bonnie Hunt is just how we tell a story here in the Midwest, including the total obsession with "being nice." Trust me, Bonnie, speaking as an Illinoisan, you don't need to be nice to Blago.

The new H1N1 swine flu strain -- a mixture of swine, human and avian flu viruses -
(Problem is likely genetically enhanced virus was grown in birds in a lab then implanted into a Cloned pig the mutated DNA makes it near impossible to make a anti-genetic substance or serum for this disease.)
Thankfully the U.S. government agency has prepared this video talking about the danger dirty hands pose and proper hand-washing technique.

be interesting to watch this all unfold.
In this site we've heard how governments have started wars of choice, killing many, many thousands of people. We've heard of false flag operations all over the globe, killing thousands of people. Governments the world over have conducted chemical and biological experiments on their own people dozens of times. We've had corporations pollute our environments, release toxins into our air, undermine our society and way of life. Yet you say that the possibility of the government having anything to do with the creation of a dangerous disease is "tinfoil hat" material? What I find to be the greatest lie ever told, is that our governments care one damn bit for any of us. Except of course for the patrician class. You wont hear of any billionaires dying of the flu anytime soon I'd imagine. Wake up! Stop listening to the networks and reading the newspapers. That's what is warping our collective brains. We're hearing only what "they" want us to hear and not one single bit more.
and how it is spreading. Some things don't make sense.
Remember weapons of mass destruction and who really has them!
The Bush government lying about torture is admitted and we have to figure out if the laws been broken?
And everybody is ignoring the fact, elucidated by a Pulitizer Prize winning effort, that the Bush Administration broke the law again when it used a concerted propaganda effort against the American people to sell the Invasion of Iraq. This was posted this weekend and there was a grand total of 26 comments made by C&L commenters. (Are "progressives desensitized too!)
So its not just listening to the MSM in an uncritical manner that should be of concern. There is a widespread instance going on right now of the MSM simply not even carrying this story because it....well implicates the MSM.

when king ronnie ascended to the Imperial Presidency, I worried about the possibility of the Nuetron Bomb being deployed. What would a little collateral damage matter, I pondered. But I wouldn't put it past the nouveau riche, who of course fancy themselves as privileged.

This may or not be of the same character and I would want to believe, if comes to pass as true, that rogue elements that need to be weeded out are to blame. In the mean time, the more I learn the more defensively I can act.
Mission Accomplished. This was the INTENT of the mis-administration before O-bought-ma. This has been signed onto by O-bought-ma, too. The media will now proceed to either slander him more/and/or cannonize him into SAINTHOOD, for BUYING DummyRummy's vacine. I'd rather die, thanks.
Well, this would solve some problems. It alledgedly started in Mexico. Now the right wingy's have another excuse for their wall. And it seems to me I remember Donald Rumsfeld made lots of money on the vaccine for bird flu. He can make even more in case he ever does need a defense fund. Some kids at an exclusive school in New York came down with some kind of illness. The CDC is checking it out. It most likely isn't bird flu. But now it's out there that rich kids may have gotten it and that's all thats needed for the wingers. Don't think Obama would have anything to do with but I'm sure Cheney's shadow governemnt is still around and we already know what he thinks of 'people' who aren't like him.
Bring it on you bastards!
Can I start a petition to have her REPLACE Joe Scarbourough on MSNBC?
That Bastartd! TWICE on one show this week he THREATENED Obama with war crimes prosecution for authorizing "drone bombings" in Pakistan... and murdering innocent civilians... because we are not at war with Pakistan!
Scarbourough has a lot of nerve. This is blatant over-the-top partiszanship. Just because his beloved Dick Cheney is in hot water for authorizing torture, The Scar will now go to ANY lengths to threaten Obama with counter-charges after Obama leaves office.
Joe, have you no shame? When did you EVER take issue with the MURDER of 100,000 innocent civilians... or the wasted deaths of 4000 American military personell in George Bush's illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq? You and your morning cohorts have really jumped the shark with this one.
that is they move ahead with the investigation of Cheney for torture, someone may get the idea to reopen the the case of the dead admin asst in Joey's office a while back. I think they call that deflection!!
"Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of Stupidity" - Frank Leahy
Starting earlier today, I'm now using canvas market bags for my excursions into town to buy stuff. ;)
Only thing tho is today that one bus driver I mentioned who made the sexist comments about how I must not have time to cook because of all my shopping was driving my route today, and I am shocked that he didn't make any comments about women and shopping, or tree huggers...

plastic bags and some sewing in this cute doggy doo bag that I'm going to have to try soon... There's going to be plastic bags around for the forseeable future despite me not using them, so I might as well find a use for the ones that I end up with...

i really don't give a crap what rush limpbaugh has to say but he's not easy to ignore since he's the talking head of the (r) party. Shane Murphy was freed from pirates after the Navy Seal rescue. Murphy said to rash"the president did the right thing.....it's war... it's good vs. evil. And what you said is evil. it's hate speech. Everybody has my back except rush limpbaugh who is trying to make it a race issue.....that's disguisting".it will be somewhat interesting to hear what rash has to say back to shane murphy. i hope
this gets some coverage.
I hate this video player.

WTF are you talking about
two parties to the cycle of domestic violence.
I'm surprised you hadn't heard that analogy before? I once heard someone (not here) say that Dubya and the Rethugs were like the abusive boyfriend who beat his girlfriend (America) and got her hooked on drugs...
I've never seen change without a fire
Go to the link fer Crise sake.
yeh!wtf you talking about?
Partisan Dems use all kinds of excuses to justify when their political leaders don't do what they think they will/should do. It's way easier than realizing these two parties are in bed together and it makes them sleep better at night knowing only the Reps are evil, and the Dems are all innocent battered spouses, too afraid to do anything to upset those Reps.
It isn't true, and nowhere near reality, but whatever floats your boat I guess.
yes concerned i have realised that its easy to overlook that the democraps are no better then thier repig counterpart ,and easy to allow this country to be used as tools by the same policys the bush gang used ..........if you have a president that can speak well, from scripts, and uses the letter D after his name, its plain to see that the botts dont mind being used by republican lites as long as we return to the days of camelot and the illusion that thiers such a thing as change from an administration thats just recycled from the bush cronies back to the clinton cronies , recycleds the key word . more of the same !
Little Timmy G, Janet N, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, etc etc, are not fraudulent liars, but battered spouses, too ascared to upset those mean old Republicans until they can get into that battered spouse shelter.
Time for me to put my rambunctious puppies to bed for the night and go to bed myself. GNA!

there are 5 reasons i chose the "bullfrog" handle:
1) amphibious manuverability
2) the princess kiss
3) a song i helped write
4) my buddy had a pet bullfrog killed by neighborhood bullies
5) raining frogs is a biblical phenomenon; see "magnolia"
i'm only tellin' ya'll this 'cause tonight's my last night.
one more comment on the music thread, then i'm outta here.
No way. You are outta here? What does that mean? That's just bullshit, bullfroggy.
why you leaving, bullfrog?
Did you help write that tune for Three Dog Night?

That's no fun!! Is it something we said? I'll remember you.

Frogs are also creatures that have the remarkable ability to get born in water, swim and be water creatures, and metamorphise into both land and water dwellers. They eat BUGS, - as in pests. They benefit their environment, and their song in the spring is a wonderful herald of Spring, the new beginning. Thanks for being here.

Well, Uncle Joe, maybe they don't know what their talking about, once again..........yawn...........'cause in France, the oppressed workers who can't get a fair deal TAKE THE OWNER/CEO hostage until their needs get met. I love that!!
David Duke's not welcome in the Czech Republic. Shrillary uses Repug talking points to defend our "progress" in Iraq. The Labor Department thinks people shouldn't be charged extra for unemployment benefits. Two pop starlets support gay marriage. Arnie requires vehicles to use low-carbon fuel. Global warming is shrinking our rivers. Carbon caps can be good for business. Obama wants to get lenders out of the way of college loans. Gore + Gingrich duke it out over global warming. The Army finally confronts soldier suicides.
The "free market" is why a Bayer plant blew up last year. Employers use an upturn as an excuse to lay-off more people. Kimmay is holding one of our journalists hostage. Chrysler: What went wrong? The Big Thre's worst hits.
.............This dignified person, whom the PUKIES thought they had defanged, declawed, neutered, consigned to the dark, dark, back room, has exposed them more than if he had tried a 'COLEMAN' when they stole the election in 2000. He is a shinning example of real CAPITOLISM, not FASCISM. Their only hope is that no one will contrast his EARNED considerable income, from honest work, that benefits the whole world, a glaring contrast to war, corruption, lies, nepotism, mind-control, blackmail, military state, THEPATRIOTACT (not), propandga, ..........the dialogue of the elitist 1%, who only have wealth because they stole it.
Here's the real Thomas Jefferson:'Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor.

On CSPAN, Nixon's brother. Reflecting on how the Republican Party has been the party of Civil Rights...and his broter's strong brlief in following the rules. Get your hip boots on.
Ed Nixon appears to me, attempting to revise history.
Nixon appeared no liberal. Nixon had a Democratic House and Senate. He had to implement a lot of what the Democratic congress passed into law.
the question is if afganistan is worth sending troops to where is the worth? since obama spouts the old republican party lines arguements that the terriorists that supposedly[attacked us on 911 ] were trained in afganistan[and i dont believe one word of it] how much payback will be enough? werent thier enough afgans killed or murdered by bushes original invasion? what threat does afganistan hold for america , does anyone think further deaths there will solve anything ? the russians with 500.thousand troops and a good air force and ground weapons were unable to subdue the enemy they faced there, and why is thier no news or videos of american forces involved in combat there being shown ? what is the obama administration hideing from the american people? it looks to me like its just an enhancemet of bushes clampdown on information the public should have to evaluate whats really importent to know about obama furthering chenys war for israel ,the corporations , and for secureing that pipe line for oil that israel needs , not to mention the fruits of the poppy fields that the cia imports into america for profits and further bribe payments ect ect to dictators in contrys we have allready subverted ! clinton and obama both are being controlled by the isralies, and the truth is that if israel attacks iran we will sit back and silently approve of isreals actions , and gladly resupply them with more ammunitions that they expended on any such attacks , as they did when israel went after lebannon, and thier butchering of the palistineians, obama is just as the bush gang was a tool of the war corporations and the country that actually runs and owns america , the isralies!
911-trained in Afghanistan, crossed the border from Canada, and threatens that peaceful military superpower with their boxcutters!
Don't worry Tyree. Now that OBombA is in power, the wars are all background fodder, not worthy of being in the news. Hillary is dodging sniper fire to tell Iraqis they won't be tossed away, and to spout all the successes that are occuring. Janet is running the Homeland Gestapo with a get tough strategy of clamping down on those borders. The new electric fencing will be up by the end of the year to keep out all those evil people that are so jealous of American freedumbs and capitalist successes. And the masses eat it up.
Just 'cover' for the looting, maurading, plundering, robbery, exploitation..............Naomi Klein.........Just another day of PREDATORY CAPITOLISM/FASCISM.
sounds REALLY Minnesotan...right down to the accent. passive aggressive too.. stick the knife in and then go 'I shouldn't have said that...that was mean."
I feel kinda guilty...
Was that me who said that?....
Did that come out of my mouth...
Ooops...(head down)
You'll be happy to know though that Minnesotan's have come along way in their illness, that is passive aggressive, especially the liberals. We pretty much say what we feel now. We don't even say oops. Thanks Norm and Michelle and of course Bush and Cheney. We've been healed.

in what universe are we liveing where a president whos done nothing that can be termed as acomplishing anything worthwhile especialy in 100 days can be compared to FDR ,its redicules and bs , the continuation of wealth still is aimed at makeing the rich get richer! all i have seen from the obama administration is crawfishing on most of his promisses, fisa , okay with him , wars great bring them on ! shovel ready jobs , where the fug are they ? the banks got thiers allready , them first you .well when they get ready to trickle it down to you, FDR my ass !
or some "Left" poster will come on and curse you out. ObombA is the stuff that only comes along once in several centuries. Change, change, change and all that yes we can great speeches.
yeah concerned its as you say , even as the droids bash you and your fellow canadians for pointing out that they have been had , and no i didnt vote for obama in the election haveing watched him go back on every pre election campaighn prommise he made it was apparent he was a corporation owned tool, who only promissed us further war in afganistan , and was a willing tool of the isralies, the election was a farce ! it was a reverse election not rigged for the republicans as such , but rigged in that mccain and palin were just throw away maggots by the repiglican party , it was a joke the republicans knew anything they reall wanted would be given by either a repuke lite hillary clinton or an easy led tool who was allso a repuke lite tool, that obama was willing to ahem move on and ignore the crimes bush did only shows he himself is covering up these crimes , as i heard him say several times since he was elected[ and i quote ! he sees no crimes the bush adminisration commited,] and i guess he doesnt if he did hed know the democrats were in on every criminal acts the repigs performed, what ever happened to these bloggers who cried murderes butchers , warmongers, government for the rich by the rich? they are now if they support the obama policys of more war , more deaths in iraq and afganistan more bail outs for the bankers just another tool of the faschists , and no better then the repig enabelers,
