Keith Olbermann Strikes Again!
2008-05-23 21:58:00
Keith, I love you man. You're filled with such hatred for anything even remotely related to conservatives or Republicans, that you'll say or twist just about anything to make us look bad.Case in point:So, General Petraeus is lying about the progress that's being made in Iraq? Please do tell me how you manage to say all that with 3rd hand knowledge?But Oliver North is the best. You say that him and Sean Hannity were smearing a Gitmo translator who was "falsely accused of helping detainees against whom all charges were dismissed".Yes..."falsely accused"....Let's take a look at that shall we?First off, his name is James Yee. He was found to have a list of detainees AND their interrogators on him as well as his laptop had tons of information on it that was NOT ALLOWED.The charges were dropped when it was determined that releasing evidence into the public would be detrimental to national security.Although Miller considered Yee's offer to undergo a debriefing in exchange for the gove...

Jimmy Carter's A Genius
2008-05-23 06:44:00
A Palestinian militant detonated a powerful truck bomb with four tons of explosives at the main pedestrian crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip on Thursday, causing extensive damage that dealt a serious blow to Gazans' hopes of opening up their sealed-off territory.Though the young man succeeded in killing only himself, the magnitude of the explosion - which shook buildings miles away in both Israel and Gaza - raised fears that Palestinian militants are adopting some of the same tactics as Al Qaeda, Hezbollah and other extremist groups in the region.The attack also reinforced skepticism about Egyptian-led efforts to bring a truce to the violence-wracked area and hurt international efforts to ease the Israeli-led blockade of Gaza, imposed after Hamas militants violently seized control of the coastal territory almost a year ago.Later, at the Karni cargo crossing some 5 miles away, a protest against the blockade turned violent, with Palestinians accusing Israeli troops of openin...

U.S. Officials Call Pakistan Deal 'Bin Laden Victory'
2008-05-23 01:33:00
Pakistan's new government has signed a peace deal with pro-Talibanmilitants, in what some U.S. officials call a "victory for Osama binLaden and al Qaeda."Under the terms of the 15-point plan, signed Wednesday in the city ofPeshawar, the Pakistani army will withdraw thousands of troops deployedto the Swat Valley region, an area where officials believe localTaliban militants are hiding. The militants have promised to stopsuicide bomb attacks and hand over any foreign militants, according toBashir Bilour, a senior minister of Pakistan's Northwest FrontierProvince.Didn't Pakistan already try this and fail miserably? They are only doing this to protect Bin Laden and his guys and we're allowing this to take place? What the FUCK kind of bullshit is this? These people should be bombed into oblivion, not given peace agreements.Remember the last deal when they said they'd "hand over any foreign militants"? They didn't hand over shit.

Equal Treatment
2008-05-22 23:17:00
When Susan Harris divorced her husband of five and a half years lastDecember, she got the apartment, extra closet space and the covers allto herself. Over the course of the couple's marriage, Harris, 31, who makes morethan $100,000 working in ad sales in Alameda, California, brought inmore than two-thirds of the household income, while her ex-husband (whodeclined to comment for this article) worked toward becoming a credentialed teacher.Am I supposed to feel sorry for Susan Harris CNN? You really need to slap your monkey reporters around to have them report on actual NEWS. Women have been complaining about wanting equal treatment for years. Now they have it, and Susan Harris is a prime example. Enjoy the equality ladies, you wanted it. Now you know what it's been like for men for DECADES. Giving up everything you own, doling out thousands per month in alimony and child support, giving away precious possessions. It's what we guys have been dealing with for a very long time....

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez accused the United States onWednesday of using anti-drug flights for spying ? and said that fighterjets are ready to defend Venezuela's sovereignty.Chavez said aU.S. Navy plane that flew into Venezuelan airspace during a purportedanti-drug mission was actually involved in reconnaissance."Theyare spying, even testing our capacity to react," Chavez said in atelevised speech. "We are not going to allow the violation of oursovereignty."The U.S. Navy plane was detected by Venezuelanauthorities Saturday near the Caribbean island of La Orchila, and itscrew was questioned over the radio by Caracas' airport control tower.Chavezsaid that pilots who fly Venezuela's SU-30 Sukhoi combat jets, newlybought from Russia, were "starting their engines" shortly after theU.S. Navy plane was detected.U.S. government officials say theS-3 Navy plane was on a counter-drug mission when it accidentallystrayed into Venezuelan airspace due to a navigational error.The incident...

The Senate has passed $165 billion to fund the war in Iraq until President Bush's successor takes over.The 70-26 vote came just minutes after a majority of Republicans voted to add tens of billions of dollars for veterans college aid and extending unemployment benefits to the war funding bill.When Democrats decry the war in Iraq, you can push this into their faces. 70-26?? That's not voting with your conscience, that's voting because you're afraid of being portrayed as not supporting the troops with the equipment they need.That means you are weak.

Yet ANOTHER CNN Idiotic Story

God, it's like they hired a monkey to do this reporting:She found her husband on their bed in a pool of his own vomit, deadfrom an accidental overdose of drugs he received from an onlinepharmacy. Every nightbefore her husband went to bed, he would open a prescription bottle ofthe muscle relaxant Soma and swallow the eight or nine pills it tookfor him to fall asleep, said the woman. She spoke to CNN on conditionof anonymity because she wants to protect her husband's identity andnot embarrass his family. The drugs arrived at their doorstepevery week. She thought they were being prescribed by a treatingphysician. Her husband had been in a car accident and suffered backpain, and Soma was the one drug that could relieve the aches.She was wrong. The drugs were purchased online without a doctor'svisit. She says that her husband had become an addict -- and that theInternet sites that sold him the drugs were his pushers. "Absolutely," she said.

Some People Are Too Stupid To Breath.

My God, I swear sometimes you wonder if our "representatives" have enough brain cells to even send their vital organs signals to live.With oil executives being ripped into by Congress, you would think that there would be a big push for alternative energy.But some people just can't put two and two together.The House of Representatives passed a $57 billion package of taxincentives for wind, solar and other alternative-energy sources, andother business tax breaks. The House approved the bill on a 263-160vote. But Republican opposition to the bill was strong enoughto indicate that the GOP would likely be able to sustain a possibleveto from President Bush. Thirty-five Republicans voted in favor of thebill, while the 160 no votes on the bill are well above the one-thirdthreshold needed to sustain a White House veto.We keep talking about getting off of foreign oil, and when you are presented with the chance to actually DO something about it, you vote no on it? Why? $57 billion is indee...

IRS Clears Obama's Church
2008-05-22 20:37:00
The Internal Revenue Service has told the United Church of Christ,Sen. Barack Obama's denomination, that it didn't violate tax laws whenthe presidential candidate addressed 10,000 church members in June. In a letter released by the UCC, the IRS said that the denominationhadn't engaged in prohibited political activity and retains itsnonprofit status. The UCC disclosed an IRS inquiry into Sen. Obama'sappearance earlier this year. IRS spokeswoman Nancy Mathis declined tocomment. Charitable groups, including churches, are barred from engaging in political speech if they wish to remain untaxed.Exactly HOW did Obama's church NOT engage in political speech? Their "reverend" preached about the Democratic race MANY times. Anyone else care to explain this to me? Am I missing something? Or is this just a political favor done for the likely next President?Travistravis@rightwinglunatic.c om

Making them count is telling everyone that it doesn't matter if they broke the rules, they don't have to live with the consequences. Then you have Democrats bitching about personal responsibility. If they have none themselves, and they aren't leading by example, how can they expect everyone else to play by the rules?Florida and Michigan shouldn't count. Period. That means that Hillary loses. That means their votes don't count AT ALL. No "let's see how we can make it count". No "every vote should count" crap.

Democrats Screw Up
2008-05-22 05:30:00
The House overwhelmingly rejected President Bush's veto of a $290billion farm bill Wednesday, but what was to have been a stingingdefeat for the president became an embarrassing episode for Democrats . Only hours before the House's 316-108 vote, Bush had vetoed thefive-year measure, saying it was too expensive and gave too much moneyto wealthy farmers when farm incomes are high. The Senate then wasexpected to follow suit quickly. Action stalled, however, afterthe discovery that Congress had omitted a 34-page section of the billwhen lawmakers sent the massive measure to the White House. That meansBush vetoed a different bill from the one Congress passed, leavingleaders scrambling to figure out whether it could become law.Oh Democrats, is there anything you can't screw up??I will give you cr...

Obama Helped Ahmadinejad

BUOYED by their modest electoral success last month, critics ofPresident Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 's provocative foreign policy werepreparing to launch a series of attacks on him in the Islamic Majlis,Iran's ersatz parliament. But then Ahmadinejad got an unexpected boostfrom Barack Obama . Ali Larijani, Iran's former nuclear negotiator and now a Majlis member,was arguing that the Islamic Republic would pay a heavy price forAhmadinejad's rejection of three UN Security Council resolutions onnukes. Then the likely Democratic presidential nominee stepped in. Obama announced that, if elected, he wouldn'task Iran to comply with UN resolutions as a precondition for directtalks with Ahmadinejad: "Preconditions, as it applies to a country likeIran, for example, was a term of art. Because this administration hasbeen very clear that it will not have direct negotiations with Iranuntil Iran has met preconditions that are essentially what Iran views,and many other observers would view, as the subj...

As a form of"respect" to Kennedy on his syndicated talk show Tuesday, Savage playedThe Dead Kennedy's "California Uber Alles" - get it? Ho ho, the wit!Oh, and he dropped in a couple of "Kindergarten Cop" sound clips of theArnold Schwarzenegger character saying, "It's not a tumor." Listen to it here, if you must.

France says it's had informal contacts with Hamas

France acknowledged on Monday that it had informal contacts with Hamas , the militant Palestinian group that the United States and the European Union consider a terrorist organization for its campaign of violence against Israel. Washington swiftly condemned the move, but French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchnersaid such contacts are needed to gauge the humanitarian and politicalsituation in the Middle East. He said other European countries hadquietly done likewise, a contention supported by Hamas.The opening, however slight, exposed new discord over how to dealwith an extremist group that much of the international community hastreated as a pariah since it seized control of the Gaza Strip by forcelast June.

Senator Barack Obamais poised to reach a milestone in the presidential race on Tuesday bycapturing a majority of pledged delegates, but he said he would notdeclare victory against Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton or suggest the Democratic primary should end until the final three contests are finished on June 3.

Today's A Good Day....Maybe
2008-05-20 00:21:00
This afternoon, Al-Qaida's As-Sahab Media Foundation has released the second audio recording of Usama Bin Laden in the space of only three days--this time, openly addressed "to the Islamic nation." But, perhaps what is most interesting about Bin Laden's latest set of audio recordings is not what they contain--but rather, what they inexplicably lack: the English-language subtitles and matching transcript that have, until recently, been a customary feature of professional-quality As-Sahab videos. An analysis of the history of As-Sahab recordings and their evolution over time would seem to indicate that the responsibility for creating these English-language products fell largely on the shoulders of one man alone: Adam Gadahn (a.k.a. "Azzam al-Amriki"), the California native who was recruited by Al-Qaida computer specialists living in Garden Grove in the late 1990s, and who later traveled on to Pakistan seeking to join his new hero Usama Bin Laden.

John McCain and Barack Obama: Two visions of the Supreme Court

John McCain and Barack Obama , the two leading presidential candidates,have set out sharply contrasting views on the role of the Supreme Court and the kind of justices they would appoint.Sen. McCain (R-Ariz.), in a speech two weeks ago, echoed the views ofconservatives who say "judicial activism" is the central problem facingthe judiciary. He called it the "common and systematic abuse . . . byan elite group . . . we entrust with judicial power." On Thursday, hecriticized the California Supreme Court for giving gays and lesbiansthe right to marry, saying he doesn't "believe judges should be makingthese decisions."We absolutely shouldn't have "judicial activism" on the bench, however, we also can't be denying ordinary Americans the same rights that others enjoy. It's got to be an issue of "everyone or no one".However, McCain IS right when we're talking about "judicial activism".
