Jesus Christ! Do They Really Think We'll Buy This...Again

quote[The Venezuelan government has made overtures to various countries about obtaining nuclear technology, according to U.S. officials, who worry that President Hugo Chavez might be taking the first steps in a long road to develop nuclear weaponry.
A Bush administration official monitoring Latin America said the entreaties have included communications with Iran, with whom Venezuela maintains increasingly close ties. Washington has branded Iran a state sponsor of terrorism and accuses it of pursuing nuclear weapons through its atomic industry.]

Give me a fucking break!!

Military reverses plan to add Ed Schultz show to Armed Forces Radio

quote[Schultz was told Sept. 29 he would be added to the military's programming today. That decision was reversed this morning. His producers are currently seeking answers from the military.

On his program Friday, Schultz attacked Alison Barber, an Armed Forces official, over President Bush's staged conversation with U.S. troops in Iraq. Barber is an Assistant Secretary of Defense.]

This is ridiculous! The right wing nut job radio hosts slammed Clinton daily, but did they ever get pulled from Armed Forces Radio??

It just goes to show: don't piss off heir Bush.

Become Republican

quote[We like small government in ways that help people in need. But we demand huge government in ways that control peoples' lives.]

This was an awesome animation!

I had quite a bit of difficulty choosing what quote I liked best.

The Nexus of Politics and Terror

quote[Last Thursday on Countdown, I referred to the latest terror threat - the reported bomb plot against the New York City subway system - in terms of its timing. President Bush’s speech about the war on terror had come earlier the same day, as had the breaking news of the possible indictment of Karl Rove in the CIA leak investigation.

I suggested that in the last three years there had been about 13 similar coincidences - a political downturn for the administration, followed by a “terror event” - a change in alert status, an arrest, a warning.

We figured we’d better put that list of coincidences on the public record.]

Olbermann hits a home run with this one!

Impromptu Bush Teleconference With Soldiers Staged

quote[It was billed as a conversation with U.S. troops, but the questions
President Bush asked on a teleconference call Thursday were choreographed to match his goals for the war in Iraq and Saturday's vote on a new Iraqi constitution.

"This is an important time," Allison Barber, deputy assistant defense secretary, said, coaching the soldiers before Bush arrived. "The president is looking forward to having just a conversation with you."]

Kind of reminds me of Bush and his fake turkey incident.

Cheney, Gonzales Opposed Miers Nomination

quote[Veteran conservative columnist and pundit John Fund asserts in the Wall Street Journal today that the offices of Vice President Dick Cheney and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales tried to block the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, RAW STORY has learned.]

Is team Bush falling apart?

Who would you bomb next?

quote[CNNN (not US) asks people On the Streets of America who they would bomb next.]

Three words: OH MY GOD!

(closes eyes and repeats to self, "Please be fake...Please be fake...Please be fake...Please be fake...Please be fake...Please be fake...")

"Bloggers" may not be eligible for Shield Law protection

quote[Senator Richard Lugar (R.-Ind.) recently revealed that so-called bloggers would "probably not" be considered journalists by the Free Flow of Information Act of 2005, which will include provisions detailing "shield law" protections for journalists. In effect, this could mean that it will be open season on those pesky bloggers once this bill passes.]

So, am I going to get into trouble?

Halliburton awarded another $33 million contract for Katrina work

quote[The Arlington-based Kellogg Brown & Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton, was awarded a $33.6 million contract Sept. 30 for emergency reconstruction of military bases in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, RAW STORY has learned.]

Aren't there any freakin' other companies in this country???

You Know Things Are Bad When O'Reilly Is Predicting Bush's Downfall

quote[O’REILLY: And then you have Libby, vice president’s chief of staff.

SAMMON: Right.

O’REILLY: And you have Rove, all right, both linked into these two reporters.

Now the two reporters are saying one thing to the grand jury. And Rove and Libby are saying another thing.

And now what looks like is Fitzgerald trying to figure out who’s telling the truth and who isn’t. And if Rove gets indicted, that could bring down the Bush administration, I think.]
