Worf is sneaky, I could see him going down to Vegas in disguise with the glasses and big nose and not tell anyone LOL :D
I hope its not smokey in Vegas, I hate smoke, but I think all the Casino's and shows are smokey, i'll know soon though. BTW, I won another $138 in poker Saturday, i'm ready for Vegas.
How about ALL? those jobs....
ReplyDeleteI just want to remind everyone about what a jobless economy this is. In May, only 75,000 new jobs were posted.
I know few readers are watching the Bureau of Labor Statistics website (http://www.bls.gov/), but I have been. Every month, the BLS posts new data. It also updates old data for past months. Every month so far this year, the previous months’ data has been revised DOWNWARD. What was reported in March as over 200,000 new jobs in Februrary is now reported as 175,000 jobs. What was reported in March as 138,000 jobs for April is now reported as 126,000. This month, the new jobs for May are reported as only 75,000. Just as new graduates are appearing in the job market, this is the lowest new jobs figure since October. In most months, about 150,000 new workers enter the job market, how many more will enter this month?
For all you trolls who long to kick Bill Clinton around: I want to remind you that at this point in his administration, 15,916,000 net new jobs had been reported. President Bush has reported only 2,635,000 net new jobs in over 5 years. Mr. Clinton is 13,281,000 jobs ahead. To report 2,748,000 new jobs - more than Mr. Bush’s 5+ years total - Mr Clinton needed only 12 months. For May of Mr. Clinton’s sixth year, he reported 401,000 new jobs, his seventh-best month.
For all you trolls who long to kick Democrats around: Mr. Clinton and his fellow Democrat, Jimmy Carter, reported a total of 33,068,000 net new jobs in their combined 12 years. In their combined 25+ years, Republican presidents since 1968 (Nixon, Ford, Reagan, GHW Bush and GW Bush) have reported 32,583,000 net new jobs. In less than half the time, they had more jobs to report.
The difference is 485,000 jobs. That’s more than Mr. Bush’s best month of 354,000; it’s more than ELEVEN TIMES Mr. Bush’s average month of 41,000 jobs. It is not however, more than Mr. Clinton’s best month of 506,000 jobs. (btw, Mr. Clinton’s average month was 237,000 jobs, not quite six times Mr. Bush’s average.)
Trolls, you can flap your all you want, but the HARD TRUTH is that the last two Democrats have been better for the United States economy than the last 5 Republicans.
Clif good post, and based on that post I can distill the repug mantra down to one sentence that they would never have the balls to admit and that is less workers/peasants= more money for the people at the top.
ReplyDeletesee they view outsourcing good paying middleclass jobs as a fantastic miracle of productivity that increases profits and goes right to the bottom line, (their bottom line) Ceo's are now making 400-500 times the averaqge workers salary they view cutting jobs and outsoourcing them to lower wage copuntries as more pie to divide among themselves, apparantly 500 times the average joe's salary isnt enough for the greedy fat cats. Funny thing is we are the only country with such a disparity between Ceo's pay and the average worker.
I have flown thru Vegas on my way to and from Los Angeles, from what I saw I have no desire to visit...but south western Colorado is appealing good roads for riding and great places to camp...
ReplyDeleteWorf said "Vegas reminds me of hell."
ReplyDeleteWhy is that? is it the gambling, the people the atmosphere????
Dont mention riding Clif, i'm missing my bike something fierce, but it was 103 here today, probably too hot to ride anyway.
ReplyDeleteI think it was 118 there today
ReplyDeleteBeen working on the house no riding...but I do not gamble ..and prefer the outdoors to any closed nightclub...
ReplyDeleteWell I love playing poker, but I prefer doing it with a bunch of friends at a house with good food and drink to a smokey casino, but I want to experience the vegas casino thing at least once.
ReplyDeleteMike did you see Bernanke hinted at stagflation is reappearing again...
ReplyDeleteThe U.S. Federal Reserve needs to be vigilant to make sure inflation stays under control even as the U.S. economy starts to shift to a slower pace of growth, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Monday.
"It is reasonably clear that the U.S. economy is entering a period of transition," Bernanke told a group of bankers. "The anticipated moderation of economic growth seems now to be under way."
While welcoming signs of cooler growth, the U.S. central bank chief stressed concerns over core inflation, saying it had reached levels that "if sustained" would put it at or above the upper end of the range consistent with price stability.
"These are unwelcome developments," Bernanke said of the quickening pace of non-food, non-energy inflation.
"The (Fed's policy-setting) committee will be vigilant to ensure that the recent pattern of elevated monthly core inflation readings is not sustained," he said.
"Toward this end, and taking full account of the lags with which monetary policy affects the economy, the committee will seek a trajectory for the economy that aligns economic activity with underlying productive capacity," Bernanke added.

Given Bernanke stated that stagflation is arising NOW it must be a Bush repug inspired Sagflation
Worfeus said :
ReplyDelete" FF said Intentionally murdering innocents is not policy
Oh YES it is.
When the President of the United States himself publically declares the enemy does NOT warrant the Geneva Convention, then the policy, and the stage, has been set for just such attrocities.
You can't have your Yellow-Cake and eat it too.
Worfeus, i've wanted to comment on this all day but had a busy day at work, i think like usual FF is focused on Symantics, he is right that the action is indefensible and that the soldiers should be punished swiftly and severely to send a message that behavior like that will not be tolerated, and while looking at the letter of the law the administration never openly supported or encourage that type of behavior, but looking at the spitit of their actions of circumventing the Geneva Convention thats exactly what they did.
No Maybe Bush and Rummy didnt actually declare murdering children as policy or order the soldiers to do so, but the soldiers could sense that they did not place much value on human life if they were willing to disregard the Geneva Convention and some may have figured they could get away with it, just like a child whose parents are lobbying to roll the legal drinking back to 18 and who regularly say 18 year olds should be allowed to drink and or having a few drinks and driving is ok but dont specifically tell their kids to get hammered and get behind the wheel and kill someone. they just like the Bush administration are guilty of contributing to what happeneded even if they didnt directly or implicitly cause it.
See Worf I am with you 100% that disregarding the Geneva Convention is reprehensible and disgusting, and i'm positive it has cultivated a mindset among some of the the soldiers that Human life is not valuable and murder and torture is ok. I'm not excusing the soldiers, they are responsible for their actions and the vast majority are probably bad apples, but I feel that disregarding the Geneva Convention has definately contributed in someway to this type of behavior by fostering that mindset that the iraqi's are less than human, and regardless of wether it contributed in a small way or not, wrong is wrong.
But again to sum up the point the Bush Administration contributed to the masacre even if they didnt directly order or cause it. Its kind of hard to claim to be liberating and helping people and that we are the "good guys" if we ignore the Geneva Convention, thats what made us better than the rest of the world, we didnt murder or torture people like the Nazi's or Viet Comg etc.... and Bush destroyed our good name and brought us down to their level and is rolling around in the mud with the likes of them.
I heard some of it Clif, I'm kind of surprised he used the "stagflation" word, but I think he's trying to sell people that the economy is slowing so he doesnt have to raise rates.
ReplyDeleteBernanke doesnt want inflation to run wild so the asians get spooked and dump the dollar and stop financing our debt, but at the same time he wants to run the economy on the hot side so inflation, inflates away and eases our debt burden (both government and consumer) like Greenspan I think he was trying to soothe or smooth talk the market so he wont have to raise rates, and with the weak job report and think he will pause and not raise rates unless some new data comes out before the 28 that forces him to.
Mike Bernanke did not say stagflation ....DIRECTALLY....he said that we need to keep working on inflation during the economic slowdown...ie the defination of stagflation...a slowing economy with inflation....just like the late 70's and early 80's last time oil prices went thru the roof..coincedentally....
ReplyDeleteClif, i've been saying for 3 years now that we were going to have a repeat of the 1970's with stagflation and high oil prices and a bear market in stocks excepty oil/energy and gold those will run just like they did in the 70's.
ReplyDeleteWell Mike ....Bernie B. finally figgered that out. Hope he's got lots of extra cash printed cause he might need it.....When the Chinese and japanese..and British call our debts

ReplyDeleteCoulter Attacks the Cult of Liberalism
by Lisa De Pasquale
Posted Jun 05, 2006
In Godless: The Church of Liberalism (Crown Forum, 2006), HUMAN EVENTS legal affairs correspondent Ann Coulter lays out one of the most original and perceptive philosophies on the cult of liberalism.
Get Yours FREE!
She states, "Under the guise of not favoring religion, liberals favor one cosmology over another and demand total indoctrination into theirs. The state religion of liberalism demands obeisance (to the National Organization for Women), tithing (to teachers' unions), reverence (for abortion), and formulaic imprecations ('Bush lied, kids died!'' 'Keep your laws off my body!' 'Arms for hostages!'). Everyone is taxed to support indoctrination into the state religion through public schools where innocent children are taught a specific belief system, rather than, say, math."
For years liberals have relied on a strategy of faking out the American public in order to win elections. Instead of accurately articulating their beliefs and engaging in an honest debate, they scour the nation for the perfect patsy. A hysterical mother who is willing to go on national television and call the President a "fuhrer" and "evil maniac" is akin to seeing the stigmata. Liberals' ecstasy over Cindy Sheehan, Max Cleland, and the widows who made a spectacle of themselves in the midst of the 9/11 Commission epitomizes their secret weapon for winning back America -- a doctrine of infallibility in which victory goes to the most hysterical.
As Coulter writes:
Finally, the Democrats hit on an ingenious strategy: They would choose only messengers whom we're not allowed to reply to. That’s why all Democratic spokesmen these days are sobbing, hysterical women. You can't respond to them because that would be questioning the authenticity of their suffering. Liberals haven't changed the message, just the messenger. All the most prominent liberal spokesmen are people with "absolute moral authority" -- Democrats with a dead husband, a dead child, a wife who works at the CIA, a war record, terminal illness, or as a last resort, being on a first-name basis with Nelson Mandela. Like Oprah during Sweeps Week, liberals have come to rely exclusively on people with sad stories to improve their Q rating. They've become the "Lifetime" TV Network of political parties. Liberals prey on people at a time of extreme emotional vulnerability and offer them fame and fortune to be that month’s purveyor of hate. Victory goes to the most hysterical.
By embracing phony prophets, liberals strip away any honesty and credibility they may have once had with the public. Unlike Christians, liberals can't shield themselves from criticism by referring to their most outspoken nuts as just a small group of fringe leaders. On the contrary, their leaders are writing curriculum for public schools, cloning obnoxious "apple-polishers" at colleges and universities and intimidating small towns with baseless lawsuits.
In the aptly titled chapter, "The Liberal Priesthood: Spare the Rod, Spoil the Teacher," Coulter peels back the political correctness surrounding the public education bureaucracy, "We are simultaneously supposed to gasp in awe at teachers' raw dedication and be forced to listen to their incessant caterwauling about how they don't make enough money. Well, which is it? Are they dedicated to teaching or are they in it for the money? After all the carping about how little teachers are paid, if someone enters the teaching profession for the big bucks, aren't they too stupid to be teaching our kids?"
Books like The Professors, Brainwashed and The Shadow University, exposed liberals' stranglehold on college campuses. But it wasn't until 10th-grader Sean Allen taped his world geography teacher's rant against President Bush that many Americans woke up to the reality of what is going on in K-12 public schools. During his world geography class, Jay Bennish engaged in a 20 minute tirade against President Bush and America, leading to the unoriginal conclusion that Bush is like Hitler. Coulter writes, "Anyone who uses this adolescent cliché should not be in the tenth grade, much less teaching it." Congratulations, Jay Bennish, this clever observation makes you qualified to replace a nose-pierced barista at Starbucks!
Comparing priests and teachers, Coulter notes, "The worst scandal to hit the real churches in 20 years is the priest child-molestation scandal -- which pales in comparison to the teacher child-molestation problem." By comparing studies done on the number of children sexually abused by priests and those sexually abused by teachers and accounting for unreported cases, Coulter concludes that there are roughly 821 children abused by priests per year and 32,000 children abused by educators per year. Given the increasingly explicit sex-education curriculum foisted on children and the incessant assurance from "experts" like Dr. Jocelyn Elders and U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop that it’s OK for children to be sexual beings, it’s no wonder that predatory teachers treat them as such.
Much of Godless exposes the contempt that liberals have for science, especially as it relates to disproving their religious doctrine. Using their strategy of capitalizing on sympathetic messengers, liberals counter science by parading Christopher Reeves, Michael J. Fox and the Reagan family in order to distract from the evidence favoring adult stem cell research over embryonic stem cell research. Coulter puts together an impressive list of successful achievements using adult stem cells, including repairing spinal cord injuries, treating sickle-cell anemia, restoring bone marrow in cancer patients, restoring eye sight and repairing weakened heart muscles. However, adult stem cell research does lack one crucial element -- it doesn't involve the destruction of life. Coulter writes, "At least embryonic stem-cell researchers have a clear financial incentive to lie about adult stem-cell research. Liberals just want to kill humans. … Stem-cell research on embryos is an even worse excuse for the slaughter of life than abortion. No woman is even being spared an inconvenience this time."
The final chapters of Godless should be required reading for all science classes, much like Treason should be required for all American history classes. Coulter illustrates why evolution is so important to the church of liberalism, "Liberals' creation myth is Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, which is about one notch above Scientology in scientific rigor. It's a make-believe story, based on a theory that is a tautology, with no proof in the scientist's laboratory or the fossil record -- and that's after 150 years of very determined looking. We wouldn't still be talking about it but for the fact that liberals' think evolution disproves God."
With the help of the ACLU, liberals and their lawsuits have intimidated school districts into teaching evolution or what Coulter calls -- quoting mathematician David Berlinski -- "the last of the 19th century mystery religions." It's the equivalent of pointing and yelling, "Witch!" In Dover, Pa., a small group of parents backed by the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State sued the school district to prevent the teaching of intelligent design in a high school biology class. The judge ruled in their favor and the school district was ordered to pay the plaintiffs' legal fees, in excess of $1 million. Coulter explains, "After Dover, no school district will dare breathe a word about 'intelligent design,’ unless they want to risk being bankrupted by ACLU lawsuits. The Darwinists have saved the secular sanctity of their temples: the public schools. They didn't win on science, persuasion, or the evidence. They won the way liberals always win: by finding a court to hand them everything they want on a silver platter."
For those of us who had to endure countless viewings of "Inherit the Wind" when biology teachers had a hangover and needed the lights off, Coulter gives the true history behind the Scopes trial in Dayton, Tenn. This phony trial was conceived by civic leaders and the ACLU, who agreed upfront to pay for costs incurred by the defense and the prosecution. Coulter writes, "The rest of Tennessee was not so thrilled with Dayton's public relations stunt. Chattanooga Congressman Foster V. Brown summarized the whole affair when he said the trial was 'not a fight for evolution or against evolution, but a fight against obscurity.'"
Liberals weren't the first to use Darwinism to justify a political movement. After reading "The Origin of Species," Karl Marx wrote, "This is the book which contains the basis in natural history for our views." Coulter writes, "While Marx saw the 'struggle' as among classes, Hitler conceived of the struggle as among the races. 'Mein Kampf' means 'My Struggle,' which Hitler described in unmistakably Darwinian terms."
From Darwinism to Nazism to Liberalism -- finally, some proof in favor of evolution!
In the mockumentary, "This is Spinal Tap," one of the band members points out to a journalist that while most amp volume knobs go to 10, theirs go to 11. To borrow from the philosophy of Spinal Tap, Godless is Coulter at 11 -- at her funniest and most insightful. In How to Talk to Liberal (If You Must), Coulter writes, "People don't get angry when lies are told about them; they get angry when the truth is told about them." Perhaps the best compliment one can give to Godless is that it will totally enrage liberals.

Coulter Attacks the Cult of Liberalism
by Lisa De Pasquale
Posted Jun 05, 2006
In Godless: The Church of Liberalism (Crown Forum, 2006), HUMAN EVENTS legal affairs correspondent Ann Coulter lays out one of the most original and perceptive philosophies on the cult of liberalism.
A quote from the book:
*ahem*
"Gooboogoogawoggashmogga...POOPIES!"
And that passes for intelligent writing on the right.
TT, trim your posts or I'll report you for copyright violations.
Carl, report me right now if you like. This was a preview chapter that was distributed for free and intended to be plastered all over the Net, to entice interest in the book.
ReplyDeleteBut, please, I beg you, report me right this second. Lottsa luck you little bluffer. Report Clif while you're at it.
Now watch Carl crawl back into his cave and assume a fetal position.
But I do admire Carl's sincerity. I know he care's soooo much about the rights of Ann Coulter.
Carl, I notice your little Avian Flu blog has lots of unattribted copies of news articles. Maybe you should report yourself, but to whom? I can see Carl now, calling 911 and reporting a non-existent copyright violation. Maybe they'll send a SWAT team.
ReplyDeleteBe a man and tell the truth: you didn't like what Ann Coulter had to say so created some other spurious reason to object to her words being posted here.
That's what happened, and you know it, I know it, and anyone else here with an ounce of intellectual honesty knows it.
So Carl (AKA the "Bluffer") did you call 911 yet? Did you ask for a SWAT team.
What a little faker.
At least Worf has the courage to attack an idea with which he disagrees with his own opnions. I may disagree with him, but I respect that.
ReplyDeleteCarl, on the other hand, just wants to silence ideas he disagrees with.
Actually, Worf, that's one area where I disagree with Coulter.
ReplyDeleteI say teach science in school, and let the parents take some responsibilty in deciding what to teach kids about religion and/or spiritualty (or atheism or agosticism, etc.).
We don't need schools teaching our kids about the gay agenda, nor do we need them teaching our kids about a belief or nonbelief in God.
There are just some things that should be left to parents, in my opinion, but many parents are too lazy to take their kids to their preferred place of worship, or to talk to them about the birds and the bees. Parents need to start being parents again and stop asking schools to do things that parents ought to be doing.
Worf writes:
ReplyDelete"A. What law would you propose to compell parents to take their kids to a place of worship?
"B. How is it the governments job to compell parents to talk to their kids about sex?"
With regard to "A," I am not calling for any law. I am calling for parents to be parents and not ask schools to do the things parents ought to be doing. If you want to raise your kids with a religious background, then take them to a house of worship. If you are an atheist or agnostic, then don't. We don't need a law for this. This ought to be common sense for any responsible parent who cares about their kids.
With regard to "B," it's pretty much the same thing. If you want to tell your kids that premarital sex is ok, then do so. If you think otherwise, instill those values in your children. We don't need any more laws to enforce basic common sense parenting.
My gripe is that too many parents want to leave these jobs to schools, and my point is that these things should not be left to schools, and schools should do what schools do best, which is to teach, instruct, and impart knowledge.
Worf, there are many "shoulds" in the world. Not all of them require a law. We should be nice to our neighbors, we shouldn't lie to our friends, etc., but none of these "shoulds" are codified into law, nor do they need to be.
ReplyDeleteJust because I "call" for something doesn't mean that it must be backed up by force of law. As it stands, the organized teaching of religion in public schools is unconstitutional by virtue of the Establishment Clause.
Now, what's your solution?
Bush offers Iran Nuclear technology if they stop enriching uranium.
ReplyDeleteWhat a strategy. Give the "axis of evil" just what they need to destroy you.
What a President.
Bagdad:
ReplyDelete1400 Iraqi civilians were killed during the month of May.
This figure doesn't include civilians killed in insurgent bombings.
9 heads were discovered Tuesday near Baquba.
Isn't Bush a great leader?

for once I agree with TT to, except for the drivel he posted from coulter, he made a lot of sense for the most part.
Worf said "She looks like a pipe cleaner with a mouth."
ReplyDeleteLOL, I was going to say a toilet brush, but a pipe cleaner with a mouth works, i'll bet she's cleaned lots of pipes to get were she is because after reading the exerpts from the book, it sure wasnt her brain or intellect that got her there.
Worf said
ReplyDelete" Get a room Johnny."
No thanx Flavius, I like chix.
he is out of step with his party, and thats probably one of the first things I agreed with him on.
ReplyDeleteas for the Coulter book, those lies were so blatant and riddiculous that it was almost laughable. How ANYONE could give that woman ANY credibility is beyond me.
Worf said "If you guys actually read my posts, you'd see that we were in agreement with what should be taught in school.
ReplyDeleteBut he's way out of step with his party on that one.
Way out of step."
I always read your posts and usually agree with them and was in agreement with this one as well, I just figured me actually agreeing with TT was a historic moment that need to be acknowledged, (now i wonder if Hell is going to freeze over? LOL)
Mike hell might not freeze over but today is 6-6-06..think about why Ann-azi released her book TODAY.....
ReplyDeleteClif said "Mike hell might not freeze over but today is 6-6-06..think about why Ann-azi released her book TODAY....."
ReplyDeleteclif, I couldnt think of a more fitting day for that witch to release her book.

ReplyDeleteField commanders tell Pentagon Iraq war 'is lost'
ReplyDeleteBy DOUG THOMPSON
Jun 5, 2006, 07:13
Military commanders in the field in Iraq admit in private reports to the Pentagon the war "is lost" and that the U.S. military is unable to stem the mounting violence killing 1,000 Iraqi civilians a month.
Even worse, they report the massacre of Iraqi civilians at Haditha is "just the tip of the iceberg" with overstressed, out-of-control Americans soldiers pushed beyond the breaking point both physically and mentally.
"We are in trouble in Iraq," says retired army general Barry McCaffrey. "Our forces can't sustain this pace, and I'm afraid the American people are walking away from this war."
Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has clamped a tight security lid on the increasingly pessimistic reports coming out of field commanders in Iraq, threatening swift action against any military personnel who leak details to the press or public.

Funny, I remember TT saying he wasnt a fan of Coulter now he's posting excerpts from the book on opening day, sure seems like a fan to me.
ReplyDeleteAnn the the cross dressing Nazi impersonator is simply a diversion for now...things are soooo bad that even she does not believe her bile and slime but the idiot neo-cons and bedwetting trolls buy it to prove their loyality...so she writes the idiots guide to being an idiot..all the while trying to figure out where to vote next time

ReplyDeleteBTW, anybody body watch her knock Matt Liar down a peg this morning?
If that is what you call knocking someone down a peg...Ann was week and basically has been ridiculed all day by the press..(except for Faux of course)
If you want to see somebody take a talking head down a FEW pegs you should watch Jon Stewart's interview with Bill Bennett...it is classic...poor Bill kept choking on his own words right after Jon's replies...he spun himself into untenable positions - weak - weak on Bennetts part...if those two are your better propogandists..(along with the drug addict) you all need help.....real help....the Kind KKKarl does not know where to get because the spinmeisters are weak ... and spinmeisters are all KKKarl really has...

Carl, you are a hypocrite because I notice that you have plenty of articles, or portions of articles, on your blogs, and on this blog, by far and away, Clif cuts and pastes the most, but one can surmise that because those posts support a Liberal position, you look the other way.
ReplyDeleteDid you get permission to post those items on your blog? I didn't think so.
Well, you threatened to turn me in yesterday, and I said you were bluffing, and I've called your bluff repeatedly.
Please, DO IT NOW -- turn me in you little bluffer. Don't wait. You must not allow these posts to exist on Lydia's blogs. This is a grave threat the security of the entire Internet. Besides, you would be laughed out of court since you don't even have legal standing to sue to enforce the alleged copyright interests of another person.
Let the *authors* of the articles protect *their* rights, and *you* worry about *your* rights.
No, where's that SWAT team I was hoping for?
My take on Ann Coulter
ReplyDeleteSee, TT? That's the way you do it.
Linked and credited, precisely as determined by the W3 group as being the appropriate way of posting quotations from another piece.
ReplyDeleteGot another straw man, pussy?
Go git some learnin', son, and mebbe one day yew kin eat at the adult table...
ReplyDeleteCarl, you can't even be honest. If I posted a Liberal article in its entirety like Clif does all the time (with or without the link -- it has no legal significance) you would be cheering and saying "Bravo."
ReplyDeleteIsn't honesty the best policy here. Do really think that ANYONE on this blog thinks you care about the alleged copyright interests of a Conservative reviewer.
Your posts don't even pass the laugh test.
Oh, TT, I don't give a damn about Clif's long posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm just giving YOU a taste of Coulter's medicine, you thieving, copyright infringing, little piece of Texan trash.
Does it taste good? Huh?
You are all "WOW!" when she gives liberals slanders like godless and immoral, but when it's applied to you....LEGITIMATELY...it's "Waa! Waa! Waa! The big bully liberal spanked me!"
Thus endeth the lesson.
By the way, Worf, Johnny, et. al., thanks for the kind words yesterday. We don't often find ourselves in agreement. Whoever said that it was because of 6/6/06 might have been on to something. We might have to wait for Friday the 13th for the next such occasion! (Just kidding.)
ReplyDeleteTT what I usually post is not liberal rants by idiots like Mann Coulter...but news stories from around the WORLD you know the 95.6% of Gods children who do not necessarily live inside the USA..along with some stories about those who do....but do continue to rant and cry about the difference between your bloviated rants penned by others and the liberal reality in the facts of the news....

ReplyDeleteArmy moving ahead with brigade deployment to Iraq that was put on hold in May
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON, June 7 — An Army brigade whose deployment to Iraq was put on hold just last month is now preparing to ship its vehicles and other equipment for an expected one-year tour of duty, a defense official said Wednesday.
The move suggests that American commanders are sticking largely to their original plan for troop rotations this summer, leaving unclear when and if a sizable reduction in U.S. troop levels will begin this year. The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. George Casey, had said last year that he expected ''fairly substantial'' reductions this spring and summer so long as progress on the political and security fronts remained on track.
There are about 132,000 U.S. troops in Iraq.
On May 8, the Pentagon announced that the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division, based at Schweinfurt, Germany, would not begin its deployment to Iraq as scheduled. It said the brigade, with about 3,500 soldiers, was receiving a revised deployment date but did not disclose the date. It also said the delayed deployment reflected a desire by U.S. commanders to assess the security situation and consult with Iraqi officials.
Since then violence, including sectarian strife, has not abated. The new Iraqi government also has yet to select ministers of defense or interior — who would oversee the Iraqi army and police.
Although the brigade in Germany has begun loading its equipment for shipment to Iraq, a final decision on sending the soldiers is pending, the official said, adding that it likely would be made this week. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss troop movement plans publicly.

You know a story about how the US Military is sending troops toi Iraq to keep the troop strength up because it is a fiasco which shows no signs of abating...and the Iraqi's has let another deadline slip by with no Defence or interior minister...thus no "Working" government 6 months after the 'mother of all elections' which was supposed to create a glorius central government which would have all Iraqi's praising us for the "democracy" we brought them at the end of a M16 and kill those who get in the way...or might be close by when some go off on a shooting rant.
Conservative Utopia? We Don't Have To Guess
ReplyDeletehttp://www.boomantribune.com/story/2006/6/7/125023/5706
The world has never seen what a liberal one looks like.
The world has never seen what can happen when the Common Good is emphasized over the Power of Elites, while maintaining a capitalist system and freedom of innovation.
The world has never seen what can happen when racism is completely eliminated.
the world has never seen what can happen when the stain of religious intolerance has been wiped clean.
The world has never seen what can happen when military is only used to keep the peace and prevent brutality, instead of to prop up evil dictators and corporatist regimes.
The world has never seen what can happen when government is completely transparent.
The world has never seen these things because it requires people to appeal to the better angels of their nature--and because our basest instincts are easy to appeal to for political gain by corrupt elites.
The world HAS seen, however, what "Conservative" Utopia looks like. We don't have to guess about that.
The world has seen what a nation looks like where:
the government does not regulate business;
where the government's primary responsibility is enforcement of public morality;
where local control is prioritized over federal control;
where taxes are virtually nonexistent;
where every citizen not only has the right to, but DOES carry a gun--in public;
where military spending is over 90% of the budget;
where the only social safety net is through religious organizations;
where the nation's leaders claim authority straight from God, and rely solely on religious doctrine for their legal authority;
where women's obligation is to bear children and be subservient to their husbands, with no access to abortion;
where public education does not exist, and is restricted solely to private and homeschool--usually religious;
where foreigners are viewed with deep suspicion;
where all other priorities are sacrificed at the altar of military victory;
where "indecent art" is not tolerated by the government;
and where "pre-emptive strikes" are not only tolerated, but encouraged.
We have already SEEN what that looks like. We don't have to guess.
It looks like AFGHANISTAN, PRE-9/11. It looks like THIS.

----------------------------------
So next time a "Conservative" like Ann Coulter tells you to just pack up and leave the country if you don't like the way George Bush does things, tell him or her this: I'm not leaving. You already HAVE a country to go to that believes in your ideology. Go there. I'm still trying to create one that believes in mine--and so was Thomas Jefferson.
Tell them, in other words, to go to hell. Because their hell already exists on earth.
And for a current assesment of Afghanistan...
ReplyDelete- George Bush has broken every promise he made to the people of Afghanistan. In 2001 he said he would remove the Taliban, establish order, and rebuild the country along the lines of the Marshall Plan.
He lied on all accounts.
The Taliban have reclaimed southern Afghanistan, reconstruction has been miniscule, and there’s been no attempt to establish security beyond the capital of Kabul. Afghanistan continues to languish in grinding poverty with less clean water and electricity than before the war. It is a failed narco-state with 99% of the countryside under the iron-grip of the regional warlords and drug-kingpins.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article13519.htm
A very chilling paragraph;
Last week, rioting broke out in Kabul when the brakes on an army transport went out and the vehicle plowed headfirst into crowded traffic. 2 civilians were killed. The incident turned into a spontaneous demonstration of anti-Americanism which quickly escalated into a bloodbath. Trigger-happy American soldiers fired into the crowd killing 8 civilians. Many readers will recall that a similar incident took place in Falluja in 2003 which had grave long-term implications for the US occupation. Angry Fallujans took to the streets to protest the appointment of the city’s mayor by American forces. The crowd was irate but nonviolent. Never the less, inexperienced US troops overreacted, as they did in Kabul, and fired into the crowd killing 14 civilians. The incident soured the people on the occupation and became a powerful recruitment tool for the nascent Iraqi resistance. Three years later we can look at that day’s violence as a turning point in the course of events in Iraq and the genesis of the resistance. Now Iraq is embroiled in a full-scale war and the outcome is far from certain.
Washington’s honeymoon in Afghanistan is over. The violence has resumed in the south and the dormant forces of political discontent are brewing in Kabul. America is sleepwalking into another catastrophe while Afghans are gearing up for their second Intifada in a generation.
In other words they are about to do to us what they did to the Soviet Union....
Wow. Ann Coulter is SO stupid, she thinks Jews are Christians!
ReplyDeleteBut not Episcopalians. I'm sure George Washington would like to know that...
Poor TT is sulking because his ass just got kicked.

AP Updated: 2:23 p.m. MT June 7, 2006
ReplyDeleteWASHINGTON - New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton lashed out at Ann Coulter for a “vicious, mean-spirited attack” on a group of outspoken 9/11 widows, whom the right-wing television pundit described as “self-obsessed” and enjoying their husbands’ deaths.
The women, who are still pushing for changes in how the government guards against future attacks, issued a joint statement after Coulter’s television appearance.
“We have been slandered. Contrary to Ms. Coulter’s statements, there was no joy in watching men that we loved burn alive. There was no happiness in telling our children that their fathers were never coming home again. We adored these men and miss them every day,” the women said.
Coulter writes in a new book, “Godless: The Church of Liberalism,” that a group of New Jersey widows whose husbands perished in the World Trade Center act “as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them.”
She also wrote, “I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ deaths so much.”
Worf
ReplyDeleteIt seems love is in the air again...Carl and TT are scrapping....LOL!
Remember our 200 to 300 post scraps...LOL!
Read the previous article I posted to see what a riddiculous hyppocritical pathetic lying witch Coulter is, she does exactly what she accuses others of, using the tragedy of 9/11 for political purposes.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how anyone could consider coulter a credible source of info or a pundit, she posts outrageous statements like the "widows wanted their husbands to die" or that "liberals should be executed" or "liberals are in league with the terrorists" etc...
number one anyone that could make statements like that is pretty hard to take seriously, and if anyone argues she is a comedian, thats pretty far fetched too since none of her disrespectful BS is funny. The only conclusion I can come to is Coulter is a fool who doesnt deserve to be in the media or limelight, one of the most pathetic things of all is that there are actually morons who care to listen to her drivel.
Mike
ReplyDeleteHer drivel is nullified if you ignore it!! Commenting makes her important!!!!
I personally dont take Ann seriously.
Mike
ReplyDeleteYou can have slippery thirds.

ReplyDeleteWouldn't Delay and Coulter make a great wedding photo?
Wait, that can't happen. Their ego's would clash and she isn't sure what her sexuality is.
Would have been a heck of a portrait.
I disagree Johnny, I could live perfectly fine without evil.
ReplyDeletei've fought many wars in my life (not literlly like Iraq) and i'm quite good at it, but I prefer peace hands down to war and conflict, I have plenty of excitement in my life and things I like to do, I dont need war, conflict or hate for excitement, people obsesseed with those things either have an agenda or nothing better going on in their lives.
laughably pathetic maybe Worf, but funny, NO!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDelete"Thats like ignoring a Clown at the circus."
Theres a big difference Worf between a circus clown and a strong political figure....bad comparison!!
Coulter's image survives from fool's like you who pay attention to her outrageous drivel.....without attention, she's nothing.......PERIOD!
Johnny there enough mental midgets like TT and wufuss crybaby(anonymous) that (s)he will always have an audience
ReplyDeleteThe Reich Wingers want to talk about unpatriotic, there should be a picture of coulter in the dictionary under unpatriotic, the nerve of her to take a tragedy like 9/11 and make it political by saying the women wanted there husbands to die is insulting.
ReplyDelete(S)he even said that the husbands of the 9-11 widows "might" have been ready to divorce them..on the Situation with Tucker Carlson last night......(s)he does not outright lie but her possibilities of what actually happened include (s)he was born female..(s)he does not discus this one however...
ReplyDeleteWorfeus Walsh lost a son..but to Ann if )s)he were defending someone Walsh was after (s)he would slander him just as (s)he slander everyone for MONEY...it is simple
ReplyDeleteMann Coulter sells its soul for money instead of the body nobody will pay for.....
No body but other reichwingnut geeks have been impressed...they are gathering around each other and backing up her idiotic rants because the chicken-hawks are too pathetic to stand on their own and shudder at the idea of going into harms way so they formed the 102nd armchair keyboard brigade with Mann Coulter at point holding the tersticular fortitude..(and testicles) they all really lack individually
ReplyDeleteCliff
ReplyDeleteI have no choice but to agree with your 6:46 PM post, however I feel Liberals should set a positve example by disregarding her nonsense.
Is Princess Di not worthy of discussion?
Sorry, Ive been having problems entering the site.
ReplyDeleteJohnny there are times when people are attacked by idiots like coulter. It is imperative that the idiot does not think it(the idiot) has the right to slime them...Even if that draws attention to the insecure idiot which is what it really craves all along...With the money it(the insecure idiot) sells it's souls for to prove it(the pathetic creature it really is) actually has worth since it can't find any worth in it's life otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a real tragety except the idiot keeps throwing it's self hatred toward anybody else that the pathetic creature sees....sort of a inward self loathing transferred to people outside itself..
Sorry to mention Princess Di. Coulter's much more interesting and must be stopped. Why talk about good people...........BORING!
ReplyDeleteLets all pretend if we stop all the bad people the world will be a perfect place; when the real answer is speaking of the good people to set an example.
Worf will read 'Mein Struggle" before Anne Frank.
Wonder why?
Thats right Worf, Coulters very interesting.....Im not arguing.
ReplyDeleteShes very worthy of books.
Coulter gives us purpose to overcome.
ReplyDeleteCoulter give nothing..(s)he take the lives of people and snears at them because it is so pathetically insecure
ReplyDeleteFunny, Im suggesting not giving Coulter attention, but Worf is fighting to keep her in the limelight?
ReplyDeleteStrange!!
Voltair Ann is suposed to be intelligent and if that was what (s)he wanted to say it would have said that..NO (s)he ignorantly attacked people because it needs the money to feel it has any worth...NOTHING MORE...it ain't got much to sell but a soul so it sells it's pathetic soul...
ReplyDeleteIm just saying: The best way to defeat Ann is to ignore her.
ReplyDeleteWorf wants everyone to buy her book.
Voltaire said
ReplyDelete"But no, I can't criticize... I no longer have freedom of speech because I didn't lose anyone dear to me...."
Theres a certain amount of truth to this.
Voltair there is a difference between freedom of speech and Slander which is what the insecure it sells it's soul for money
ReplyDeleteIt ain't political if it smears people for money it really is pathetic...but that also describes Rush (the addict)and Bill (the falufa guy) does it
ReplyDeleteVoltaire said "But since you're on it, their "tragedy" and pain sure gave them a platform to push their political agenda didn't it? And didn't they revel in tearing down Bush and promoting Kerry? Why, if it weren't for the deaths of their husbands they'd just be another lone voice in the wilderness.....
ReplyDeleteBut no, I can't criticize... I no longer have freedom of speech because I didn't lose anyone dear to me.... "
Whose being political here voltaire, that waste of skin Coulter is trying to twist the truth to discredit some grieving widows who dont like How our president used 9/11 and the death of their husbands to implement their power grabbing megalomaniac agenda.
Its obvious that Coulter is trying to portray them as political and try to imply that they are using their grief and tragedy to make it difficult for repugs to attack them, but did you ever think maybe they are not political maybe they see what happened as a result of 9/11 like the assaults on our personal freedoms and constitutional rights, the destruction of the checks and balances established by our forefathers to stop one branch of government from becoming too powerful as well as the way Bush desires to turn our country into an Orwellian Police State, not to mention the Massacre's of children and civilians in Iraq the circumve3ntion of the Geneva Convention and the torture, imprisonment without cause or due process and other various human rights violations being utilized by these fools.
Ever consider they are not political at all just people who dont like the direction our leaders are taking our country in the name of the tragedy that killed their husbands, and who feel it neccessary to speak out so the deaths of their loved ones were not in vain.
Answer me this though, if 9/11 is so important that everything the Bush Administration does and says is based on 9/11 and Bush defines his whole presidency by it and calls anyone who questions him or his policies unpatriotic, doesnt it seem a little riddiculous, unpatriotic and disrespectful to say that some widows whose loved ones died are happy about it, I mean that debunks the credibility and sincereity of coulter's arguments more than anything I could say, I mean its kind of insulting if you actually think about it, all I know is if I were married and a fool like Coulter had the audacity to say I was glad my wife died, i'd want to see the bitch with a slug in her head or decapitated like or blown to smithereans like the people she slanders, too bad for her she would end up in a different place, a much hotter one where she would feel right at home.
Coulter DOES NOT care what we think as long as the monet keeps rolling in
ReplyDeleteit sells itself and collects the cash
thoughts and feelings are irrelevant to it
Worf said
ReplyDelete" I, and no one in this room, cept maybe Johnny, support silencing anyone, anywhere anytime."
Your stoned Worf, only your communist pal, British Gary, approves of silencing.
Theres a difference between silencing opposition and ignoring someone who I believe is unworthy.
Grow up Worf....
Thats exactly what Coulter is trying to do Worf, she is trying to silence and discredit those Women, and its so transparent and insulting that it will bite her on her bony little ass.
ReplyDeleteVoltaire said
ReplyDelete"And the "controversy" over Ann's remarks is only going to get them more coverage and guarantee their continued right of self expression."
EXACTLY VOLTAIRE!!
WELL SAID!!!!
Johnny on another Blog BG spoke that he understood the need for free expression, it takes time if your not raised to believe in it...but Ann is free to sell its soul for money if that helps it to feel worthy of something
ReplyDeleteVoltaire said "If anything THEY are hoping we will cede our freedom of speech and silence ourselves out of respect for their personal pain."
ReplyDeleteNo Voltaire thats just Coulter's twisted attempt to discredit and silence them, see she thinks if she plays dirty enough the oposition will throw in the towel and give up, she tried the same hitting below the belt crap with Lyd by posting her number.
Voltair a debate involves actually talking sense..not the slime in her books..(s)he was just trying to make the books contraversial so they might get more attention and sales for it the money is the real goal
ReplyDeleteIM toast!
ReplyDeleteTTFN, and sleep well.
Answer me this Voltaire, if you been crying about how important 9/11 is and how unpatriotic attacking the presidents policies are for politics how the hell can you attack a couple of widows who lost their husbands, if her arguments/points are so credible why does she have to attack people who suffered as a result of the tragedy,arent her arguments strong enough to stand on their own without personal attacks and trying to discredit the oppositions point of view.
ReplyDeleteFrom my experience people who attempt to attack or discredit others or deflect the issues instead of focus on them usually have a self serving agenda and weak incoherent arguments that cant stand on their own merits hence they turn to deception subterfuge and personal attacks and demonizing the opposition.
Voltaire said "Mike, not EVERYONE believes that.
ReplyDeleteSo we should all just shut up and let them say whatever they want without fear of rebuttal?
Their husbands died, so we should just hand everything over to you guys without saying a word or having a debate or vote?"
No Voltaire but if what you have to say is credible and convincing it should stand on its own without using personal attacks to discredit those who suffered from a tragedy, but I guess that just shows Coulter doesnt even believe her own drivel is powerful enough to convince anybody.
Worfeus for people like Coulter malkin Rush O'Liely it's about the money..hell Billy boy slandered murdered US WW2 soldiers and can't even admit he was wrong doing it..he tried to change the transcrpits of his show and then quibbles aboiut what he said instead of admitting a mistake...like Fox would deduct money for misinformation
ReplyDeleteshe figures she will attack them so venomously with riddiculous crap like they want their husbands dead that they will be overcome with grief and frustration and throw in the towel, she used the same low blow tactics with Lydia by publishing her number, she figured after all the death threats and hate mail Lydia got she would just throw in the towel and go away.
ReplyDeleteAnswer me this, how come its only the ReichWingnut fanatics that threaten to kill people or send hate mail or advocate nuking other countries or genocide, I havent heard of one liberal threatening to kill someone over politics, WHY IS THAT??????????????????????????????????????????
We just have different ideas on how to go about it. And WE don't feel surrender is the best policy for LONG TERM security.
ReplyDeleteNo this administration thinks incompetence but loyality is the answer ..they reward that and punish actual free thinking..and any hope of sucess
Voltaire theres a difference between standing up for and articulating why your views are right or superior and demonizing and attacking a couple of widows for political gain, if you cant see that, then your lost buddy.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like the Nazi comparisons tell the idiot in chief to stop acting like it
ReplyDeleteLike ann calling for the poisoning a supreme court judge?
ReplyDeleteHow bout Coulter calling for executing liberals, i'm sure that adds to her credibility and helps her make her point, and her point is ??????????????
ReplyDeleteoh yeah attacking and discrediting VICTIMS of a tragedy.
I'm sure counter has our country's best interest at heart and some well reasoned ideas, lets see...................
ReplyDeleteexecute liberals, attack victims of a tragedy, insult and crap on the poor and victims of natural disasters, torture people, give out people's personal phone numbers etc........yeah Coulters gots lots of real ideas and sound arguments, NOT...................
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteVoltair how about actual links to their demonising or attacking...telling the truth is neither however....
ReplyDeleteSo your saying the widows cant speak their mind? seems like you want them silenced??
ReplyDeleteAnd who did they attack personally, they may have spoken out about the Bush Administration's policies but they didnt attack bush's family. Coulter attacked the widows personally and through some supposed form of clairivoyance, with absolutely no evidence to support her argument stated that "THEY WERE GLAD THEIR HUSBANDS WERE DEAD"
You tell me how this waste of skin should be considered credible, for spewing disrespectful BS with NO EVIDENCE to back up what she says, she is a disgrace and a laughingstock
Coulter is going to cut her own throat with her stupid book, the big money like Scaif and moon is propping her up because they think she is a mouthpiece that will rally their base, once she loses the big money and most of the decent repugs she will be yesterdays news and no one will even remember that witches name in five years.
ReplyDeleteVoltaire said "Mike, what about WIDOWS demonizing and attacking for political gain?
ReplyDeleteTHAT is precisely what we're arguing about.
No, thats just the spin Coulter is putting on it, and thats what we are arguing about.
You know Voltaire if I were married and my wife died in 9/11 and that bitch had the nerve to say to my face that I WAS GLAD she died, i'd bitch slap her/it into next week.

First of all I dont have a political agenda i'm not a registered democrat and never have been, I just dont like the direction your people are taking our country in and feel we need new leadership and am willing to speak out against the attrocities being committed by the Bush Administration.
ReplyDeleteAnd no I would not use a death as as an unassailable point of view, thats the ReichWings style, they used 9/11 as an unassailable rallying cry to do what ever they damn well pleased in the nane of protecting us or the common good, and they demonized anyone as unpatriotic or in league with the terrororists who disagreed with them because their arguments were too weak to hold up in honest debate.
No thats just him parroting Coulter's drivel that no one is beyond personal attack or character assassination.
ReplyDeletesee Coulter's motto is if you cant win the argument with logic and credibility and honest debate, kill the messenger.
Voltair it is because of the bad which just keeps coming in spades that I speak out so much...if you read the truth about Falugha in early 2004 you will see that the Military commanders and CPA did not even try democracy there...they just APPOINTED somebody Mayor not even considering the wishes of the local citizens...and when the locals protested troops opened fire killing over a dozen civilians protesting the lack of any democracy...this happened right before the "attack" on the mercenaries there...which is the start of the insurgency...it is the fooles who sent almost half a million americans sons and daughters with NO plan for actual victory...or follow on to combat operations...which are necessary if you have any idea what you want to do once you take the place...by the end of the CPA they had blown their chances for a peaceful solution to the situation in Iraq because they enabled the insurgents with every heavy handed bungle they did ...like by passing irregular troops in the rush to Baghdad to not guarding the vast amounts of ammo and weapons...two things that have directally led to US soldiers deaths...because the bypassed irregulars used the unguarded weapons and ammo to attack the troops
ReplyDeleteBut Bush Rummyt and Cheney should not be called out on their imcompetence by mothers who lost their sons...or widows who lost their husbands because you fooles think you got it right?
give me a break...you fooles have screwed this up as bad as vietnam and have afghanistan falling apart now, it is the GI's on the ground who will really pay the price..and that is why I for one will point out the fooles that you have become in your lied illegal war to give the PNAC crowd their bases in the mideast
Voltaire said "How patriotic can you possibly be when you guys get big fat chubbies over EVERY single smear article that some hack puts out and gleefully dwell on it for years on end.
ReplyDeleteAnd do you ever post a retraction when you're proven wrong?...NO and the damage is already done..."
First of all exactly what damage is done, seems to me you guys hiding behind your supposed patriotism and bravery in an attempt to stifle our freedom to speak up and disagree is hiding behind a pretend unassailable position a million times more than the widows you guys attempt to attack and discredit.
But the difference is I defend your right to speak your mind and challenge the widows argument via honest debate however I condemn your trying to smear and discredit them with lies like they are glad their husbands are dead, I would like to see one shred of evidence to support this other than Coulters clairavoyance that this is how they feel.
See you guys know your arguments are weak hence the character assassination and lies, time to man up and open your eyes oltaire and see who is really trying to surpress free speach, hell coulter said women dont deserve the right to vote, does that sound like an advocate of free speech and open debate or someone trying to supress the voice of the people.
Voltair I have no Surrender wish...just a wish that if the fooles are gonna start a war they Go to somebody who actually has expierence in fighting one and get SOLID advise about how to run one...you don't do it by undermanning the invasion....or underfunding the start...or quieting criticisms because they might show your plan is something an idiot wouild choose...like an invaded country will gvreet the invaders as liberators...you do not plan an invasion that way...
ReplyDeleteA military motto I was taught was plan for the worst expect the unexpected...and you will not get to suprised...also timeetables are no good if the enemy resistance if fiercer than expected...bypassing them to be at the objective at a specific tiome is ludicrus, and you do not "secure" a country with minimal forces...sort of the same thing Bush has been doing on ouyr southern border...can't he just admit he really does not know and get competent adult leadership instead of the political bloviating and spin to foole 51% of the voters.....which he does not even have now
Mike said " mike said,

ReplyDeleteTwo months of warning? Hell, I thought we "rushed to war"....
Two months of warning to Osama georgie was coming to get him...
the rush was the war against Iraq where Georgie went after Saddam to prove he was better than his daddy
Too bad he is losing two wars right now where his daddy won two...but finished the first before begininmg the second

Iraqi PM to make 'very important announcement' - US
ReplyDeleteIraqi Prime Minister Nuri al- Maliki will make a "very important announcement" at a news conference in Baghdad due to start at 10:30 a.m. (0730 GMT) on Thursday, the U.S. military said.
In a statement sent to the media, the press office of U.S.- led forces in Iraq said about Maliki's expected announcement, "it is very significant news."

Yea like they FINALLY have a complete government just six months after they voted...and it will live inside the green zone so they can pretend the actually are in charge of Iraq...the part protected by the US troops
They will do in Baghdad like Karzai does in Kabul where he pretends to be in charge of Afghanistan the parts that are not being reconquered by the Taliban... or overseen by the warlords who grow the poppies for heroin export....
But the people who live in the town and villages of Iraq are still on their own sort of like those who were stuck inside New Orleans after Katrina.
And the sectarian violence does not seem to be diminishing...nor does much appear to be getting accomplished to get the normal Iraqi's water..electricity..or security...
but the largest Embassy in the world is ON schedule and has all the electrical power and water resources they need...
The American Brigade from zGermany seems to be getting ready to deploy to Iraq thus no downsizing of the American troop levels yet...even though they "hinted" at it before the diversion of the immigration debate before the diversion of the anti gay marriage admendment which preceeds the diversion of the flag burning admendment, none of which will do anything to make the troops asafer..or bring them home one day sooner
The anouncement is that U.S. officials: Al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been killed.
ReplyDeleteWell this will improve things like when they killed Qusay and Uday…or when they captured Saddam…or when the held an election…or another …or another…but it seems to be slipping daily.
Most of the insurgents are Iraqi’s tired of the occupation not foriegn fighters like Al Zarqawi and they are fighting between Sunni-Shites...Kurds Turkman...backed by Iran..saudi arabia,,Jordan...Syria,,,Turkey,
But they killed a few people who were causing some chaos there, so it might take the foriegn face off the insurgency, and reveal it to be the Iraqi's who are fighting each other and the US soldiers....

“The Zarqawi PSYOP program is the most successful information campaign to date.” — Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, in an internal 2004 memo praising the propaganda campaign to hype the threat of Iraq’s “terrorist mastermind” Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
ast summer, Col. Derek Harvey — a top military intelligence officer in Iraq and who handled Iraq intel for the Joint Chiefs of Staff — told a gathering of Army brass that Zarqawi’s violence represented “a very small part of the actual numbers . . . The long-term threat is not Zarqawi or religious extremists, but these former regime types and their friends.”
Harvey continued, “Our own focus on Zarqawi has enlarged his caricature, if you will — made him more important than he really is.
Zarqawi is their characture..and they can now spin it to try to get the poll numbers back up…and bring the wingnuts out in force
In the light of Coulter trying to silence the opposition , I have to say I find it CURIOUS? ghow this blog has been down so much since Coulter's book came out on Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteZarqawi, Spinning in His Grave
Right now, I'm in the media room at YearlyKos, listening to liberal bloggers and activists fret about how to spin the killing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
Some snippets:
"We are constantly bashed on the right for not supporting the military."
"We can't say 'yes, but'." As in, yes it's good Zarqawi is dead, but . . .
"Why have we not gotten Osama?"
"Zarqawi is not about Iraq." As in, the real reason we wanted him dead was the USS Cole bombing.
"We're talking to the 98 percent of the unwashed who don't know what the Cole is." In response to above.
"If we'd followed Clinton's anti-terrorism plan, we would have gotten Zarqawi years ago." As in, without going into Iraq.
"If you keep looking for someone long enough, you'll find him.
Nope. No way to spin this one.

ReplyDeleteHeartless Nazi Hell Bitch Ann Coulter Strikes Again
ReplyDeleteWhen the 9/11 widows appeared at the commission hearings held in their honor, tearfully clutching photos of their dead husbands as the TV cameras swung their way, and bursting into wails of despair whenever a Republican senator attempted to speak, the whole nation cried with them. Ann Coulter, however, had nothing but sneers of contempt for these brave womyn, and still does. On her recent Today Show appearance, Coulter went so far as to insinuate that the Joisey Grrlz are merely celebrity-seeking pity whores for the Democrat Party. Well, that’s like printing their grief onto toilet paper and wiping her ass with it.
If the men who perished in the 9/11 attacks died for anything at all, it was so that their wives could beat people over the head with it whenever their political motives are questioned. Indeed, having lost loved ones in the attacks makes one’s opinions on the war above reproach – as long as they are decidely anti-war opinions. By refusing to allow their frequently televised grief to be used as a weapon against her, Ann not only belittles the insufferable pain of the only four 9/11 widows who really matter, but insults the memory of every single little Eichmann who died in those towers.
Although I disagree with everything that comes out of Coulter’s festering, hate-filled maw, I made it a point to be polite and respectful in my scathing review of her book yesterday. Now that I am starting to learn what’s actually in it, I regret having held back.

Interesting article about Zarqawi, Carl.
ReplyDeleteMikey
ReplyDeleteI thought you were going to Vegas?
Mike and Larry:
ReplyDeleteIf you happen to make it to see Lydia's show this weekend - she said she put your names on the list to comp you guys a ticket. She asked me what days you were going to go. I told her I didn't know just that you (Mike) had mentioned you would probably be there this weekend. I told her I was guessing you would be there either Friday or Saturday (obviously today or tomorrow - it was last night when I had this conversation with her). I also told her I didn't know if Mike & Larry are you real names etc. so she asked me to log on here to let you know she just listed you both as "Mike" and "Larry" if I remember correctly I think she also included a spot for you each to bring one other person.
For you and everyone else - to let you know what it was like getting to see her and her show. The show is awesome. Lydia's and Destiny's Deprived Wives act is hilarious.
They are both super sweet people and they are both very beautiful. :D
It was a pleasure to meet both of them. Meeting them has definitely been the highlight of my whole vacation!
Especially Lydia!!!:D
Rene
In case you're wondering why Lydia did not get on here herself to give the message to Mike and Larry it is because the Wi-Fi in the hotel she is staying at is down. That is why she asked me to relay the message on here.
ReplyDeleteI know this happens from time to time because it happened to me too and I even tried to use another hotel's "internet kiosk" but the system was down there too.
Rene
ReplyDeleteYou should have offered to buy them burgers and drinks or something after the show; Captain Morgan would've!
Were there any hecklers making these poor, deprived wives comedy act difficult? If so, how was Lydia's and Destiny's comeback.
Of course you realize their being deprived is merely an illusion.
If they were my girlfriends they most certainly would'nt be deprived.
I offer lots of housework that includes nothing but the best cleaning sponges, dusting rags, and scrub brushes. I would even consider purchasing a high quality mop for correct attitude and good work.
Possessing a big heart, there are rewards..... a quick breath of fresh air and a little sunlight. Maybe even Taco Bell.....as log as I dont pay!

ReplyDeleteI thought you were going to Vegas?
Always in these blogs, I doubt you go on any vacations, "just alot of bullsquat"
or as Worf would put it "COWPIES"
ReplyDeleteMike - it was great meeting you and talking before the show. You look like you could run for the Senate. I finally got online.
ReplyDeleteSorry if Lourdes was upset that the comics were heckling her.
When you sit right in front of the stage, you run the risk of getting picked on by the comics. Please tell Lourdes that I am also offended by the dirty jokes, and I loved meeting her.
xo,
Lydia
Even though Lydia wrote that post, I still have doubts if you have ever been to Vegas.
ReplyDeleteIt just seems like you're forever in chatrooms and weblogs!
It's almost doubtful if Lydia has ever been to Vegas...(just kidding)
ReplyDeleteWhatever Carolyn!

Lydia and I are working on each others soul's....LOL!
Glad to see you've seen the light! Banning speech upsets the true evolution of mankind as billions of individuals each have their own version of what they envision to be right or wrong, good or bad!
Banning is ultimately someones perception of what they believe is the correct way of thinking for everyone else....a dangerous precedent!
Yo Johnny:
ReplyDeleteNope, there weren't any hecklers.
I would've offered to take Lydia & Destiny to dinner but I caught the early show and they had one more show to go with about maybe a half an hour in between shows and I didn't know of any decent places that were still open for dinner after their late show.
Lydia:
ReplyDeleteAnytime - I would be honored to take you and Destiny to dinner, and it won't be Taco Bell or any other fast food place. :D

We have learned nothing. Or specifically, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have learned nothing. The number of dead, Iraqis and American soldiers is about to increase dramatically as our armed forces prepare to do to Ramadi what they did to Fallujah:
ReplyDeleteBAGHDAD — Fears of an imminent offensive by the U.S. troops massed around the insurgent stronghold of Ramadi intensified Saturday, with residents pouring out of the city to escape what they describe as a mounting humanitarian crisis.
The image pieced together from interviews with tribal leaders and fleeing families in recent weeks is one of a desperate population of 400,000 people trapped in the crossfire between insurgents and U.S. forces. Food and medical supplies are running low, prices for gas have soared because of shortages and municipal services have ground to a stop.
U.S. and Iraqi forces had cordoned off the city by Saturday, residents and Iraqi officials said. Airstrikes on several residential areas picked up, and troops took to the streets with loudspeakers to warn civilians of a fierce impending attack, Ramadi police Capt. Tahseen Dulaimi said.

Worf said "I wish I'd met Lydia.
ReplyDeleteThats cool you did Mike.
How was her show?
Tell us all about your evening.
This is good stuff buddy."
Lydia and Destiny were great, I also liked Mike Marino, Larry Reeb who was supposed to be the headliner We didnt really care for or find that funny Lyd/Destiny or Mike Marino should have been the headliners, we sat in the front row, and he was really picking on my companion and giving her a hard time, after the show we were supposed to take a few pics and chat with Lyd a little before saying goodbye, but Lordes was extremely upset and stormed out, I told her that we couldnt just leave without saying goodbye to Lydia, that it would be a slap in the face and she would think we hated the show or did care about seeing her, but she said she had to get out of there and kept walking so I initially started running back to tell Lyd why we were leaving and realized that Lordes wasnt going to wait and that I couldnt let her walk back to the hotel alone, so I left without saying goodbye to Lydia and just felt terrible, I felt like I let a friend down and just felt like an insect and didnt sleep the whole night.
I explained to Lydia what happened the next day and she was wonderful, Lydia is one of the nicest, coolest and most interesting persons you could ever meet, I could have chatted with her an entire day if time allowed.
Lourdes was also wonderful, after I explained that because of what happened I had to go back and chat with Lydia, take a few pics and say a proper goodbye the next night or I couldnt live with myself.
We also had a great time visiting the nice hotels and buffets, doing a little gambling and we went to this racetrack where you can test all kinds off fast cars or off road cars like vettes, GTO's supercharged caddys, hummers, etc.. and drive them on this track, they let the person in front of you get to the first turn which was about halfway around the track and then they let you start, after 3 laps, I was lapping people that where allready halfway around the track, the drivers where saying that I really have the track down and drive good, and were asking if I was a professional race car driver, one time they even turned off the traction control and I was leaving rubber and sliding around some of the turns, it was awesome.
Just to put things in perspective it was an awesome trip, I really had a great time and that one little incident was a small part of what was a wonderful trip.
BTW, that sign on the main blog with Lyd and all the other comedian's names on it was on the way from my hotel to hers, I must have passed it like 10-20 times, I even think I snapped a pic of it as well.
ReplyDeleteI also got some good pics of Lydia and the rest of the trip that i'll try to get developed tomorrow.
I would have liked to see Lydia and Destiny's portion of the show a second time, but by the time I got back the second night their act was over so I hung out outside and talked with Lydia between her anouncing and introductions. (Lydia introduced everyone and served as the anouncer). Another thing that was really cool was how right after I said to Lydia, that she still looks pretty much the same as the TCFC days and that I would recognize her on the street instantly, at least 10 other people said the exact same thing right after I did.
Thanks Rene, Lydia said the same thing that she would have comped us tickets but I had allready bought tickets, didnt matter though, I really enjoyed the majority of the show, it was definately worth it.

BTW, what are you doing in chatrooms????, are you trolling (no pun intended) for minors like many of the right wing pedophiles who have been arrested recently.
Mike:
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you and Lordes had a great time for the most part (Other than the Uncle Lar/Larry Reeb act.)
I agree Lydia and Destiny should've been the headliners.
I also agree Lydia does look great and so does Destiny! They were both super sweet and really down to earth. I had a great time talking with both of them. :D
Where is that race track at that you wrote about? I'd love to check it out on my next trip there.
As for modern technology...I love that I can take my lap top with me on trips like this. Too bad the WiFi was down at times though. I actually wasn't feeling well a couple of days out there so it was nice to be able to download my pics and check my email while indoors for a couple of days. No, it wasn't from drinking too much. It was more like a Monster drink + McD's grilled chicken club=Big Mistake/Stomach ache & headache from you know where!
Mike said
ReplyDelete"but Lordes was extremely upset and stormed out,"
LOL :D
Gee Mike, I almost feel bad for not going....Moo Moo would have enjoyed rescuing your lady friend from that nasty, mean ol comic.
I have to be honest, I enjoy watching comics pick on the suckers in the front row. I do, however, bring relief to their sufferings by picking on the comic myself.
Didnt you defend her?
Never sit in the front row if your easily offended....its a comedy club, not Disneyland!!
Andrew Dice Clay, now theres a toughie.
Dont be jealous Worf, you and I will catch the next show. We'll have a few drinks and start ripping comic turban.
ReplyDeleteAfterwards we'll let Lydia and Destiny take us to Taco Bell or something.
I suspect Lydia's show bashes men...thus my 5:27 am post.

ReplyDeleteI see you prepared yourself for any hecklers who might have given Lydia's show a hard time.
Cool pic!
Johnny said "Gee Mike, I almost feel bad for not going....Moo Moo would have enjoyed rescuing your lady friend from that nasty, mean ol comic. '
ReplyDeleteyeah, it would have been cool if you were there johnny, it would have been funny to see you give him a hard time, I actually thought about you during that part of the show. And no, i didnt say anything, i'm kinda shy around big crowds like that.
That race track is right in back of the Saharra (where I stayed) not Las Vegas BLVD but that street in back what ever its called, you just come out of the Saharra, cross the street and its right there.
ReplyDeleteWorf said "What kind of stuff does Lydia talk about in her comedy show?
ReplyDeleteDoes she ever get political?
Or is all like marriage stuff?'
a lot of marriage stuff, but there was some political stuff in the show I caught, i meant to ask Lydia if she threw that in there just because I was there or if she did the same routine for all the shows, i'll have to ask her when she's back on the blog, she did say she would have liked to do more political humor though so there is a chance she stuck the political stuff in for that show.
Worf said "Mike
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the details of the trip and the show.
Its sounds like it was so much fun. I am jealous.
Why did your wife get so upset?
Women. LOL. Her name is Lourdes? Is she from England or something?
Did you go to see the daily KOS thingy? Did Lydia?
"Did you ride your motorcycle out there? I guess not with the wife huh?"
Wife?? LOL, nope, i'm still single with no thoughts of getting married for probably at least 5-10 years, I think too many people jump into marriage because they dont feel comfortable being alone or think its what they are "supposed" to do and thats why divorce rates are so high. when I do finally settle down though it will be with a real independent woman (like Lourdes)who loves to travel a lot and has lots of friends and hobbies and accepts me the way I am , I need my occasional guys nights/days out to play poker or go riding with my buddies that stuffs in my blood and I could never just give it up.
I think she got upset because he really focused on her and was primarily picking on her, she grew up in Los Angelos and moved to Texas, I think Lourdes is just a version of Lori our Laura, may be hispanic in origin?? i'll have to ask her, its a fairly popular name out here, although I never heard it till I moved to Texas either.
I didnt see the daily Kos but Lydia did, and like she said she spoke with Jimmy Carter's Son and Went on Progressive Talk Radio. she was really busy, up till 4AM working still, like me, she probably needs a relaxing vacation to decompress from her trip. I hope she takes some time to enjoy herself when she gets back then spend a little more time on the blog if she's able to, I really miss her posts and weekly blog updates, and i'm looking forward to her book.
Oops as for the motorcycle I left it in Buffalo and will be flying back there to get it the end of July, maybe I can see johnny or meet Clif again.
ReplyDeleteDid Carl say he was going/, I know Larry said he was going to go but as of midnight Sunday morning he didnt meet Lydia, and as far as we knew he didnt attend the show, maybe he went to Sunday evenings show.
ReplyDeleteMike/Rene
ReplyDeleteDoes Lydia's show bash men? And how big was the crowd?
I agree 100% with your marriage analogy Mike, however, its a mistake to wait until your almost fifty to have kids and get married.....you'll be an old grumpy fart with a sore back unable to keep pace with energetic kids.
Your lady friend will laugh about it one day Mikey...LOL!
No, I wouldnt say their act bashes men, more like it pokes fun at their husbands and old boyfriends, I couldnt see Lydia doing anti-men/manbasher type material, it was more in fun, oprah does that arogant anti-men type stuff and I really cant stand her.
ReplyDeleteeach comic had such a different style, Lydia and Destiny were cute, it was more goodnatured banter back and forth with some funny stories thrown in, mike Marino was real fast paced and he worked the crowd real good, and larry reeb was more raunchy and insulting.
You guys dont know what suffering is until your married. Watching a female apply makeup for two hours and complain about unmanageable hair, gets to ya; especially when it consistently makes you late for an appointment.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to go in five seconds...I simply put on my hat after combing my hair for a few seconds.
I mean, is it really necessary to look like your going to a beauty contest to get stupid groceries?
No Mike! I know Lydia would do it out of fun, I was just wonderin so I could bug her later...LOL!
ReplyDeleteyou guys really should have gone, you would have had a great time.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to talk Lydia into coming to Toronto....theres a fancy, expensive, dinner/comedy theatre here where Mr. Furley, Ralph Malph, and other celebrities have appeared.
