i would like to see this dude gone.

Paul Haggis quits Scientology over its Jedi mind tricks and support for Prop. 8. The Saudis have a different interpretation of what it means to whip it. Republicans suddenly give a fuck about costs when they're not pointless wars. Will the "reform" bill also take away the mandate of employer coverage? Obama wants banks to help small businesse. Climate change, these protestors can believe in. Once again, my horoscope sounds more spot-on than most political analysts:
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in
sheep'sfox's clothing, but inwardly they are raveningwolveselephants.When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
Love a good political cartoon, used to be one of those artists myself.

Love the smile but don't even want to guess what's coming out of its' eyes.
The penis in the picture is very clever!
What penis and where?Or are you snarking about the lack of said appendage?Nevermind... I see it now. Was looking in the wrong place.
Yep, great cartoon!
I love his cartoons.
Disturbing and enlightening video, explains a lot.
Real News interviews Craig Murray, former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, who resigned his post when he realized the real purpose of the US and UK relationship with Uzbekistan.
Answers, among other things, "Why did the CIA use torture to extract false confessions?" and "What is the US/UK real interest in Afghanistan?"
Uzbek terror and the UK/USA
When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
Thanks for that link. I really like the Real News Network and it would make for better debate here if more stories were linked to its reporting instead of Beck and Coulter.
I mean, I know somebody has to keep their eye on those two, but not everyday.
this place makes GITmo sound like disneyland. thanks for the link.
A place like Disneyland where Beck-type characters can be hunted with Uzis?
Now there's an E-ticket ride I could get behind...

Yup this is the favorite place of that worthless SCUM BAG cheney, think I'm kidding check your back stories. In fact when Murder Icorporated (blackwater) was give a free pass on their crimes and talking about building two mercenary camps in this Country one East and one West coast, this Scum Bag low liofe piece of an excuse for humanity was constantly flying to ubekerstan, this SLIME BALL is inteested in one thing and one thing only the DISMANTLEING of the US Constitution and the Imprisonment of every American that has NOT sworn alligance to a Corporation.

Thank you.
Is anyone surprised, not me. Would that there were more incorruptible people in the world like Craig Murray.
You will not find them in the CIA.

I couldn't believe it when Memphis's daily paper, the Commercial Appeal, laid off Bill Day. He is amazing... but what can you say about a city that is using federal stimulus funding to demolish the 150-year-old historic Fairgrounds, site of the South's first integrated concert venues and Elvis's last public appearance?
http://savethepippin.com/
when they redirected the party from Overton Square to Beale St. The city was capable enough to handle both venues. A few yrs back I returned to attend a Memphis in May Concert Festival. Wanting to hike back to the car, I stood in line for an hour to buy a wrist band to reenter. No wristband made available on entry and my ticket stub was useless. Like Memphis is now.

preferred them way back then....now they just seem pompous
with the rest of the audience for a War-tour show, because, we were told, the band's costumes hadn't arrived.
From then on, they've just been posers to me. Notwithstanding Bono's very laudable work as an activist, which of course is the more important work. I just don't get U2.
(Eno/Lanois-produced). "One Tree Hill" is maybe their best song ever.
There have been a few good songs since then--"When Love Comes to Town" (mostly on the power of BB King's vocals) and "It's a Beautiful Day". But I haven't purchased anything of theirs since "The Joshua Tree."

...repeat that unforgivable chant that "The surge worked". If we cannot convince the rest of the world that what we're doing in Afghanistan is just(and to help us the hell out), we need to get the fuck out of there saving lives and our needed resources.
How does the army control the profits from the poppy crop? When we learn that, we will know if we make more money than we spend from the effort in Afghanistan.
............be careful believeing anything from them, they are run by Zionists!!!! Now, I ask you, 'What are Zionist doing running a so-called 'noooz' outfit in Iraq????????´ Couldn't possibly have anything to do with when Boooosh wanted to bomb them?? right??? Murdoch couldn't get there in time, I suppose.
... pay to see this? The only thing I ever liked about U-2 was 'I still haven't found what I'm looking for'. I am still looking for something else good from them.
Now I know why the police controlled access to the Arroyo Seco. I had to jump through hoops to go there because my dog Buddy wanted to go.
If you need funds to pay for essentials, you have a revenue problem

Substitute amendments offer an entire alternative to the existing text of bills under consideration. The for-profit insurance purchase mandates proposed can still be replaced with the real extension of the basic human right of healthcare. The single-payer substitute amendments can make that right into our American reality.
The Weiner amendment is our road to extending the basic human right of healthcare to all. We all wish the formal bill under consideration right now was HR676. Many have fought for it, lobbied for it, written and called supporting it … but the reality is there won’t be true Medicare for all out of the People’s House any other way but through the Weiner amendment to HR3200.
Rep. Weiner was on a conference call just last night with the activists of the Progressive Democrats of America. He said that his amendment is currently being “scored” by the Congressional Budget Office. The score assigned will measure the amendment’s impact on the federal budget. The results of that score will be out sometime soon. Then it will be up to Speaker Nancy Pelosi to honor her commitment to Rep. Weiner to bring his substitute amendment to full debate on the floor of the House when HR3200 is under consideration. Rep. Weiner says that will be happening sometime in the next few weeks – maybe as early as the first week in November. He also said more Congressional members are learning more about the economic and moral benefits of his amendment. We need to support that work.

Latest nuggets of wisdom from Morons Watching:
Last time I checked, the core of every democratic system is a list of inaliable rights.
Um, last time I checked, the elites don't like socialism, because they're the ones who lose out most.
Socialist elites are a different breed from capitalist elites. What we really need are moral elites!
Elitism is antithetical to democracy. "Moral Elites" make me think of evangelicals.
Everybody's shit stinks.
The Dems look for available scraps to toss out at us, so we'll re-elect 'em in '010. The FDA doesn't care about medicines which don't work.
We used to say 89 for 1989, 95 for 1995. What makes 2010 010? Just curious.
That's all. :)
and I thought it a little weird, that's all.
Speaking of the FDA, I'm shocked by the weakness of their oversight of software & firmware in medical devices. I work with aircraft flight controls, and the FAA is (quite properly) on us like white on rice about issues of software quality and safety. And it's effective.
just what the 1%ers need, something else to keep the peons afraid and distracted as they pick our collective pockets with the other hand.
I was watching my favorite movie last night, Plan 9 From Outer Space, and noticed something interesting.
You know who they credited for wardrobe?

And all this time I thought "The Deadliest Game" was your favorite movie.

I gottallot of favorite movies.
Funny thing though is very few from the last 50 years.
Although I do like Psycho, American Werewolf in London, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.
And come to think of it Psycho is nearly 50 years old now.

Although I like NY, I absolutely ABHOR the Yankees. Have since 1977, when Reggie Jackson cheated in that World Series.
YANKEES CHEAT!
Reggie Jackson cheat?
say it ain't so!
to invest more heavily on the top notch players that vastly increases their chances of winning. The players still have to play the game. I don't know about Reggie Jackson, but all Yankess don't deserve to be categorized as cheaters based on his actions alone. I don't know whether he cheated or not.
With a little twist. See if you notice:

yes the throw back to the days of the Kuwait Invasion, this was the first time America was introduced to the realities of the Muslim hardliners. I watched TV in those days mesmerized by the sights and watching the various Clown from the evangelicals smiled small smiles and licked their lips and their eyes lit with glee when they saw women in burk-as, then the discipline of the women to be subjected to the total complete will of the man and his family. Yes, even today as I watch these asshole and their repukulan allies trying forever trying to bring down the American woman through Guilt innuendo, and demand her total commitment to a weak kneed weak minded moron called a christian. The proof in the staement and the support for what the Muslims do to their women is by their silence and the answer to the questions, notice how they impose their will on anything they find disdainful (Africa and the children being declared witches, Mexico and the catholics having a woman declared a witch and then having her killed. Notice how quiet these co operating lying COWARDS are and how much they wish they could do the same to their congregations and women and children, A christians perfect dream be able to kill their child because it dissatisfied their god. No the Cowardly christian will allow this to go on under the guise of religious freedom and its in their Country. They will turn a Blind eye in this country as it call for intestinal fortitude and courage. Sure glad I am a atheist
Can we vote Bill Maher off the progressive island? He's been trafficking in all sorts of anti-vaccine nonsense for years, and has lately slipped into denial of the germ theory.
As a result of such nonsense, dangerous diseases we'd very nearly eliminated in developed countries are coming creeping back. :(
that would be news to him for sure. Bill Maher has an opinion and he states it.
He refuses to be a member of any established political party or specific set of ideas.
