What's amazing about this is I was contacted just last week about another lost relative of mine who was ALSO killed in a trajic accident and also left me a large sum of money. So sad for them...but I always knew life held great things for me! Thank God for the internet.

Neocons cry "No More Special Counsels!" here's how they lie

"It is clear that, at least by sometime in January 2004 -- and probably much earlier -- Fitzgerald knew this law had not been violated. Plame was not a 'covert' agent but a bureaucrat working at CIA headquarters"
See, that's a lie. Plame was a covert agent. And there was a lot of covert activity went up in smoke: they outed everyone who had anything to do with her. "Plame? You know Plame? She's in the CIA, you know. Are you?"
Everyone IS entitled to their own opinion: no one is entitled to their own facts. And if you run a newspaper, you have certain responsibilities. Different, I submit, from if you run a comic book.

Big Oil

Cheney Adviser Indicted in CIA Leak Probe

Reminds me of the tear away jerseys the backfield uses. Or the skink that willinging lets you keep its tail while it goes and grows another. Or what was that bird? "Wow, that was fast. He must have shit in your hand and flown off!"
"What that part you got?"
"I dunno. Looks like Scooter."
"Is that all?"
"Looks like it."
"Oh. Well, check for fiber evidence."
In any case, Karl Rove aka Indiana Jones slipped the rope, Cheney is off somewhere hiding some kind of injury and the boy president, Bush: with no one around to guide hiim, he has been assigned just to wait and meet with the leaders of the smaller countries of the UN and make them various promisses.

"Thank you SIR! May I have another?"

Expel Iran from UN

But why should Israel have to make the call?
But how about this: let's take a look at the total plusses and minuses of Iran in the UN and make the call out in the open, instead of just some wacko. I mean, what if we were all judged by the actions of George Bush?

"The world's largest publicly traded oil company, Exxon Mobil said profits jumped 75 percent, to $9.92 billion"

So, umm, rising prices... it isn't just "I pay more so you pay more. The actual profits, real solid money, that got banked.
Meantime, alas, the stock price: it was all over the place, just in case you thought "hey, that's a sure thing, a good investment"... nope. You could get seriously burned. And its not too late (to get burned) in case you can't read the warnings in the volatility.

Iraqi Government Received Oil-for-Food Kickbacks

"'The cumulative impact of this is pretty impressive,' Volcker said in an interview before the report was released. 'Somebody* should have stood up and said, 'Enough.'"
Volker also added that he was "shocked to find that gambling was going on!" and ordered Ricks casino closed.

*if Somebody, who has been named in many recent cases, is ever found, somebody is going to be in deep trouble! Meanwhile, Mr. Nathan P. Somebody has requested that he be allowed to please please change his name.

Red herrings

Did anyone not consider that Miers had NO chance in getting to the supreme court? None? And if she did, well, that was the total end of the court, putting someone in there lower than Thomas (Thomas and Scalia: what pair).
Then too there was something obscene in Miers once again (well, of course that was her job) spreading her legs on behalf of Bush and any one else who wanted a quick push): hey, Harriet, distract these twits for a while. They are all over me with Fema and Iraq and Chency and Halliburton.
When you want to walk past the dogs ( eg, the press) through a piece of meat to them and that will keep them busy while you go about your legitimate business.
Used to be a cowboy put his hat out on a stick to see if it would draw fire: now they put out the village skank. Poor Harriet. Poor sexist Harriet. A nice ugly woman would have told the pres to shove it.

Generalisimo Franco is still dead

A similar lack of movement of George Bush is has proven to be a challenge for the effete Amreican Press.
Disney has deployed time lapse photography hoping to catch some movement in the off hours, and has placed a tv remote close by the president to temp movement.

I agree with the Moose

The level of anger in this country is palpable. I don't give a damn about parties or party politics. It's time for reform because our political class has lost their fucking minds.

speaking about debt....

Gee, what a beatiful ship. I wonder what makes it go?
And look at all those oars!

Panel to Urge Bush to Consider 2 Alternative Tax Plans

How stupid are we?
Yes. That stupid.

Energy Prices to Drag Economy

poor george bush: everything happens to him!

They're just crooks

A nice tirade from "Hunter" at DailyKOS

You don't have far to look, in the Republican Party, to find true conservatives. I may not like the political stances of a John McCain or an Arlen Specter, but nor do I fear for the nation if they come to lead the Republican party. Men of integrity can disagree on the principles of government; men whose sole moral compass is directed by what they can technically get away with, however, aren't political men. They're just crooks.

The West Wing Episode Guide

proposed: the national debate should be focused on the issues being well and fairly addressed by a fictional drama because it has more content and coherent presentation of the issues than the political show which has only reality to recommend it, as seen on CNN, MSNBC, PBS, Hardball, Meet the Press, various print publications, and press releases.

Comrade Dear Leader

And this which reminds me of the Soviet Union

Washington, DC — The National Park Service has started using a political loyalty test for picking all its top civil service positions, according to an agency directive released today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). Under the new order, all mid-level managers and above must also be approved by a Bush administration political appointee.

analysis by expert analysts was doctored by Bush political appointees

I know this is no big surprise but here it is anyway...

The Commerce Department has responded to a half-year-old request by Manufacturing and Technology News for the release a long-awaited study on the issue of "offshore outsourcing" of IT service-sector jobs and high-tech industries. But the 12-page document represented by the agency as its final report is not what was written by its analysts. Rather, it was crafted by political appointees at Commerce and at the White House, according to those familiar with it.

At an estimated cost of $335,000 -- or $28,000 per page -- the document MTN received from the Commerce Department's Technology Administration contains no original research and forsakes its initial intent of providing a balanced view of outsourcing, according to those inside and outside the agency.
