Wingnuts Moto Racer for the iPhone
2008-06-07 12:30:00 Our friends over at Freeverse have been working on a racing game (undoubtedly going to be one of a few released by different companies) for the iPhone called Wingnuts Moto Racer, but various NDAs, game mechanics secrets, and developer confidentialities have kept them from being able to talk about it too much, with us or anyone else. Still, demand has apparently pushed them to release something, and so they have posted this heavily-edited- with-red ink “review” of how the game plays. read it here www.tuaw.com

2008-06-07 03:31:00 After a long silence resulting from NDAs and trade secrets, the people of Freeverse have posted a "review" outlining a little of the development process, mindset, and gameplay for their upcoming racing game, Wingnuts Moto Racer. Meanwhile, Ambrosia software has announced that they will be porting their Mac desktop game, Aki Mahjong Solitaire, to the iPhone and iPod touch platform. read more

Great momments in wingnuttery
2008-04-18 07:13:00 As if one failing occupation wasn't enough we have the wingnut post of the day from Dr. Rusty Shackleford:The Two Wars in Iraq & Mistaken Republican Support for ObamaFirst we have this: Bush screwed the pooch in Iraq. There is a good argument to be made that we should not have invaded in the first place.* There is no good argument that we should leave.Well he's half right and that's an improvement but it goes downhill from there. This conclusion is inevitable when one comes to the same realization as me. There was a war in Iraq and there is a war in Iraq. In fact, we've had two wars in Iraq: Iraq War I & Iraq War II.The war now is not the same as that war. The first war in Iraq was against Saddam Hussein, the second war is against Islamists of various stripes, but mainly al Qaeda.Give me a break, "the second war is against Islamists of various stripes, but mainly al Qaeda". Not even the Pentagon or the Bush administration make such claims anymore. You're not paying atte...
Wingnuts in attack mode
2008-02-27 00:32:00 Obama's honeymoon is over and he's about to find out that Hillary went pretty easy on him. The Neocon - Likud - AIPAC crowd are about to bring out the big guns. Yesterday Bill Kristol accused Obama of hating America because he won't ware a flag lapel pin. Well this should send Bill and the rest of the lunatics up the wall:Obama: Pro-Israel needn't be pro-Likud "I think there is a strain within the pro-Israel community that says unless you adopt an unwavering pro-Likud ap-proach to Israel, then you're anti-Israel, and that can't be the measure of our friendship with Israel," leading Democratic presidential contender Illinois Senator Barack Obama said Sunday."If we cannot have an honest dialogue about how do we achieve these goals, then we're not going to make progress," he said.He also criticized the notion that anyone who asks tough questions about advancing the peace process or tries to secure Israel by anyway other than "just crushing the opposition" is being "soft or anti-...
This is the best they can do?
2008-02-12 05:18:00 My major concern about Obama has been what the Rovian Swiftboaters would do to him after he became the nominee. He has actually been giving them some ammo himself like his comments on drug use. Well I guess this is apparently the first day that the Rovians have Obama in their sights. Oh, my. Barack Obama may want to call his new Houston office and suggest some decorating ideas. Take a look at the flag flying in the office at the moment:No, that's not a Texas state flag with a picture of Obama on it. It's the flag of the Castro-led Cuba regime, with Che Guevara's face superimposed on the side. A Fox report from Houston captured this image as it showed Obama supporters celebrating his momentum after Super Tuesday.Does Obama know his Houston supporters honor a terrorist in his campaign office?If this is the best they can do then maybe I didn't need to worry so much. The politburo diktat 2.0 gets it right. Remember the ?vast right wing conspiracy?? I think this is the ?half vast? ve...
Grasping for relevance
2008-02-08 23:33:00 After Mitt left the race yesterday we should have had an office pool on who's head would explode first. Well AJStrata reports that the winner would have been the one who picked Sean Hannity. Apparently Rich Galen wrote a piece today and noted how conservatives tearing down McCain is basically doing the liberal media?s work for them. It is a fair if slightly exaggerated point to make, especially after years of the right tearing down El Presidente Jorge Bush for disagreeing with them.But something inside Hannity snapped over this and he was in the throws of insanity. He claimed those who question his actions are pompous, arrogant, hanger-ons who are simply trying to angle for jobs in the new administration and have sold their principles for money. And he was just getting started! The most hilarious (and pathetic) part came where he declared himself and other angry and raving talk show hosts the future of America! You could almost see him stand up and salute himself.Clearly Hannity an...
Post Super Tuesday
2008-02-06 17:30:00 The battle for the Democratic nomination will continue but the two battles on the Republican side are all but over. Yes, there were two battles going on in the Republican side - the battle for the nomination and the battle for control of the Republican party and the wingnuts seem to be losing both. We have discussed this second battle in: Conservative - The new toxic tag?As the once mighty fallAfraid to win?Rush and McCainHarold Meyerson discusses the battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party in:The Repudiation of Rove John McCain had a surprising but pleasant evening last night -- watching Mitt Romney go down to defeat in nearly every contest and encountering a newly victorious but ultimately unnominatable Mike Huckabee all across the Bible Belt. McCain's successes so far reflect not only his appeal as a candidate but also the bankruptcy of the conservative agenda and political strategy that have steered the Republicans for many years.McCain's victories have been chie...
Bill Clinton To Ron Paul Supporters: ?You?re Nuts?
2008-01-08 01:26:00 From MSNBC: Several Ron Paul supporters shadowed a much larger Clinton entourage as Bill Clinton greeted supporters downtown. The former president later called them “nuts.” During his third stop of the day, the former president posed for pictures and shook hands as he strolled down Main Street on this unseasonably warm Primary Eve day. Across the street, ...

Half the story
2007-10-29 21:30:00 The wingnuts are all excited about this:Record numbers go abroad for health treatment with 70,000 escaping NHS Record numbers of Britons are travelling abroad for medical treatment to escape the NHS - with 70,000 patients expected to fly out this year.And by the end of the decade 200,000 "health tourists" will fly as far as Malaysa and South Africa for major surgery to avoid long waiting lists and the rising threat of superbugs, according to a new report.Ezra Klein gives us the other half of the story, the British health tourists have a place to go because of even more Americans are escaping the high cost of the US private health system. Of course, Britain spends 41 percent what we do per capita -- and no one thinks Blair made up that shortfall, or anything close to it. So detractors are probably best served by not making funding the issue. I wouldn't have thought, however, that they'd try to move over to medical tourism as a point of comparison. But we can have that discussion. W...
Col. Hunt just doesn't get it!
2007-10-26 03:00:00 A few weeks ago I asked the question everyone should be asking George W. Bush.Why did you decide to invade Iraq and let Osama go free?And then I answered the question:Dubya and Osama have a symbiotic relationship - each one is strengthened by the acts of the other. That of course makes it all the more important to ask the question.Well apparently FOX's Col. David Hunt didn't get the memo or read MEJ.America Could Have Killed Usama bin Laden ? But Didn'tWe know, with a 70 percent level of certainty ? which is huge in the world of intelligence ? that in August of 2007, bin Laden was in a convoy headed south from Tora Bora. We had his butt, on camera, on satellite. We were listening to his conversations. We had the world?s best hunters/killers ? Seal Team 6 ? nearby. We had the world class Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) coordinating with the CIA and other agencies. We had unmanned drones overhead with missiles on their wings; we had the best Air Force on the planet, begging...
Where's the outrage!!!
2007-10-18 02:58:00 I discussed how Attorney General nominee Michael Mukasey was talking the talk below. I missed something however but Andrew Sullivan and Steve Benen didn't. It would appear that this comment by Mr Mukasey: The Bybee memo is ?worse than a sin, it?s a mistake,? Mukasey said. He referenced the photographs taken by U.S. troops who liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1945 to document the ?barbarism? the U.S. opposed.sounded a lot like this from Senator Dick Durbin: In a Senate floor speech Tuesday, [Senator Dick] Durbin cited an FBI report describing Guantanamo Bay prisoners chained to the floor in the fetal position without food or water and sometimes in extreme temperatures."If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control," he said, "you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human...
For Once I Agree With The Wingnuts
2007-10-16 02:38:00 I am becoming less impressed with Nancy Pelosi each day. This is just plain wrong and just plain stupid.Pelosi?s Most Dangerous Ploy Congressional Democrats anxious to force a withdrawal of American forces from Iraq are frustrated by their inability to muster a veto-proof majority for legislation that would establish a firm date for retreat. But what they cannot do directly they are now working hard to do indirectly.According to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Incirlik Air Base near Adana, Turkey is the transshipment point for about 70% of all air cargo (including 33% of the fuel) going to supply US forces in Iraq. Included are about 95% of the new ?MRAP? -- mine-resistant, ambush-protected -- vehicles designed to save the lives of American troops. Turkey wasn?t always this helpful. In 2003, the Turks refused permission for the 4th Infantry Division to enter Iraq through Turkey.Turkey?s Erdogan government has indicated that if the House of Representatives takes action on a non-bindi...

Geraldo reevaluated
2007-09-02 00:05:00 I've never been able to tolerate Geraldo Rivera but after this I may have to take another look. ?Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I?ve ever met in my life,? he says. ?She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people.?It?s good she?s in D.C. and I?m in New York,? Rivera sneers. ?I?d spit on her if I saw her.?Well at least he got it right at least once. Needless to say Michelle was not too pleased.
If the Christian Wingnuts Just Stay Home
2007-08-30 00:12:00 The Republican party can't win without the Christian Wingnuts and needless to say the Republican lawmakers have been letting them down recently. The Republicans biggest problem in 2008 may not be George Bush's debacle in Iraq but the base just staying home.A Scandal-Scarred G.O.P. Asks, ?What Next?? WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 ? Scott Reed, a Republican strategist, was at a dinner in Philadelphia on Monday night when his cellphone and Internet pager began beeping like crazy. Only later did he learn why. His party was buzzing with news of a sex scandal involving a Republican United States senator ? again.[.....]?The real question for Republicans in Washington is how low can you go, because we are approaching a level of ridiculousness,? said Mr. Reed, sounding exasperated in an interview on Tuesday morning. ?You can?t make this stuff up. And the impact this is having on the grass-roots around the country is devastating. Republicans think the governing class in Washington are a bunch of buff...
The real threat to the United States
2007-08-21 05:29:00 Is there a threat more dangerous to the US form of government than al-Qaeda? The answer might be yes and it's even closer to home in the form of authoritarian wingnuts. While those on the right, like Ed Morrissey, have been correctly critical of Hugo Chavez's attempt to become President for life.... Hugo Chavez will push through an end to term limits on an elected office in Venezuela, not coincidentally his own. The change will allow Venezuelans the pleasure of electing him indefinitely, which he sees as critical to his nation's "happiness", if not his own:....we have this (via Digby) from Family Security Matters.Conquering the Drawbacks of DemocracyBy Philip Atkinson President George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States. He was sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2005 after being chosen by the majority of citizens in America to be president.Yet in 2007 he is generally despised, with many citizens of Western civilization expressing contempt for his person and ...
Being There
2007-08-19 22:17:00 When US lawmakers and think tank celebrities like O?Hanlon and Pollack go to Iraq they see what the Bush administration wants them to see and rarely anything outside the Green Zone. The Generals that Bush allegedly listens to rarely leave their fortified encampments. As the AP reported yesterday any security improvements in Baghdad may be more the result of increased control by Shiite militia than an increase in US presence. So how do the troops who live the occupation everyday see the situation? Much to their credit the New York Times went out and talked to a few enlisted men who were about to finish up a 15 month tour.The War as We Saw ItBy BUDDHIKA JAYAMAHA, WESLEY D. SMITH, JEREMY ROEBUCK, OMAR MORA, EDWARD SANDMEIER, YANCE T. GRAY and JEREMY A. MURPHY VIEWED from Iraq at the tail end of a 15-month deployment, the political debate in Washington is indeed surreal. Counterinsurgency is, by definition, a competition between insurgents and counterinsurgents for the control and suppo...
Bush's Surge Is Still A Failure
2007-08-09 16:04:00 The wingers are making hay over this misleading AP article.Democrats Praise Military Progress WASHINGTON (AP) - One senator said U.S. troops are routing out al-Qaida in parts of Iraq. Another insisted President Bush's plan to increase troops has caused tactical momentum.One even went so far on Wednesday as to say the argument could be made that U.S. troops are winning.These are not Bush-backing GOP die-hards, but Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin, Bob Casey and Jack Reed. Even Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee, said progress was being made by soldiers.The suggestions by them and other Democrats in recent days that at least a portion of Bush's strategy in Iraq is working is somewhat surprising, considering the bitter exchanges on Capitol Hill between the Democratic majority and Republicans and Bush. Democrats have long said Bush's policies have been nothing more than a complete failure.There was never any doubt about the military portion of the surge, the...
Perceptions
2007-08-06 18:40:00 The few remaining supporters of the invasion and occupation of Iraq are not only talking about mythological improvements in Iraq but of mythological changes in perception. Last week we had Lieberman camp "Democrats" Michael O?Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack told us how things are improving in Iraq and that we can still "win". Willaim Kristol tells us public opinion has turned based on the column by uber hawks O'Hanlon and Pollack. All three have been consistently wrong about all things Iraq from the beginning but still think we should listen to their "wisdom". Of course they fail to mention that Iraq is no closer to a political solution than it was three years ago and in fact the country is falling apart. Former war supporter Michael Ignatieff acknowledges that in the lead up to the invasion those who ?truly showed good judgment on Iraq? might have had no more information than those who got it wrong, but did not make the mistake of confusing ?wishes for reality.? All these years later i...
The Brownshirts
2007-07-20 17:52:00 John Cole gives it to Brownshirt Hugh Hewitt after Hewitt accused him of being a "Bush Hater". Dear Hugh- I don?t hate Bush. I voted for him twice (votes I now deeply, deeply regret), and I hate what he has done to this country, I hate his incompetence, I hate that he has let propagandists such as yourself take the lead in designing and pushing policy, I hate that he has lost or is losing not one, but two wars, I hate that he has politicized (more accurately, allowed his lackeys to politicize) everything from NASA to the FDA to the Pentagon to a level that would have made Hugh scream out in rage were the President?s last name Clinton. I hate all of those things.But for all that, I still don?t hate Bush. I think he is a small, shallow, feeble-minded man, whose ?resolve? you cherish is merely the result of a man incapable of thinking on the spot and changing course. While he is ultimately responsible for anything that has been done during his tenure, I am of the opinion that he is lit...
Fox Stopped! Obama Wins Respite From Right-Wing Wingnuts
2007-03-10 00:35:00 Image Intro This video clip and message from film producer/director Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films appeared in our inbox this afternoon, and we decided that it was important enough to pass along in full: Dear activists, colleagues and friends: We have a terrific victory to enjoy today. The Fox News sponsored Democratic presidential debate in Nevada has been cancelled... Link Main Text Activists all over the country came together -- from the netroots to grassroots to MoveOn to bloggers to the film we at Brave New Films created -- in a stunning and powerful rejection of the myth that Fox is a news station. For those of you who have helped spread the word by spreading our Fox Attacks: Obama video [above] far and wide. Thanks for amazing work. We want to continue the work of calling attention to the distortions, lies and propaganda that is Fox News. Please help support our continuing efforts: D... |
