I thought I saw Marine One on my way into work yesterday morning. It looked like it was headed toward the Mayflower Hotel. Rumor has it dubya was headed over to ask Laura to express his anal gands. Unfortunately, Laura remains expressionless.
Nice to hear (thanks to KP) that the people over at AAR finally know who Marc Maron is. It certainly seems as if they have an awful lot of “technical problems” when it comes to the Marc show. It’s as if nobody really knows what going on – or at least that the people who need to make things happen (whoever the hell that might be; I have a feeling it’s the remnants of the “team” that Goldberg brought in to help kill the network) drag their feet and nothing gets done until enough people bitch about it. So, might as well keep bitching. I feel bad for the poor people who have to answer the phone, and I’m grateful to people like Jon Sinton and Doug Kreeger, who I think really do want to see Marc syndicated. But hopefully continued pressure will motivate whoever the hell it is that needs to get motivated to fix these “technical difficulties,” and whatever else they need to do get the show on road, so to speak.
Happy Tuesday.

Hey, guys, can anyone give me an update about what’s going on with Marc and AAR? Anyone know what’s going on? I e-mailed Sinton yesterday, and he’s usually good about getting back to me with answers, but this time? Nothing. I’m getting worried. If AAR starts to fade away, we are totally fucked. Not that we aren’t anyway, but at least AAR gives us a thread to hang on to.

Iraq Defense Ministry says missing GIs killed
Al-Qaida-linked group claimed soldiers’ abduction on Monday
Updated: 11 minutes ago
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Two missing U.S. soldiers in Iraq have been killed and their bodies were found, the spokesman for Iraq’s Defense Ministry said on Tuesday. The U.S. military says it cannot confirm the report.
“The two soldiers were killed and they were found in Youssifiyah near an electricity plant,” Major General Abdul Aziz Mohammed told a news conference in Baghdad.

Hey brill, as a brief recap, Sinton and Kreeger both say they want Mac syndicated, and are fully behind the show, feeling it’s a waste not to get them on the air everywhere. KP spoke with some folks at AAR yesterday, and they say the delays are somewhere in the executive level, between negotiating with affiliates and some “technical” issues. So, hopefully if we persist in asking politely yet firmly for the show to get syndicated, the “executive” level will get their act together, and get the show out there.

Mexico leftist ahead in president race -new poll
Wed Jun 14, 2006 12:20am ET
MEXICO CITY, June 13 (Reuters) – Mexican leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador leads his conservative rival by three percentage points in Mexico’s presidential race, according to the second poll on Tuesday putting the former Mexico City mayor in front.
The poll, conducted by the Consulta Mitofsky polling group and broadcast on the Televisa television channel, gave 35 percent to Lopez Obrador and 32 percent to Felipe Calderon.
Earlier on Tuesday, a poll in the Milenio newspaper gave 34.2 percent to Lopez Obrador and 31 percent to Calderon ahead of the July 2 election. Most other recent polls had put the pair in a tie.

Not allowing free discussion is as bad as censorship of the press. The M$M isn’t censored they just choose to not report things. I am finding the probability that 911 was not at least encouraged if not planned by the Bushivecs as going to zero pretty fast. If there is the slightest possibility of a conspiracy it should be brought out into the open.. Maybe that would destroy the republican party forever and maybe also destroy a lot of Neocon republicans in the process :jason::gate::omg::fist:
so if Al is in step with the bushies lately in his slide to the middle and Kos is also falling towards the middle….oh god….
I have to look into all of this.
With Al and all the dems I think that its a matter of being unclear on this withdraw the troops thing. Its not all or nothing…its a gradual redeployment leading to withdrawal….it sounds so stark when they say pick a date amd we’re gome.

Hey Fred, good morning.
Yeah, I remember lurking on Kos looking for news stories one day, must have been well over a year ago, when Marcos first came to the decision not to let those diaries or posts stand. Marcos said he didn’t want any “conspiracy nuts” on the site, which is what he calls anyone who doesn’t agree with him, apparently. He mentionied that he was concerned on keeping his blog “in good standing” in the blogosphere. It was at that point I decided I might look on Kos for links to stories, but wouldn’t take the blogging comments that seriously, because it was censored stuff.

The problems in the Denver economy that I described yesterday are apparently not unique.
A lot of the places where auto building is a big thing are scared to death over the shutdowns and pull outs by the automakers.
WalMart has destroyed small retail business all over the country and people are finding that fighting back though the courts and their city councils doesn’t work.
Loss of white collar jobs as well as blue collar jobs to off shoring, closing and consolidation is a problem in almost every industry
The loss of small business jobs due to down sizing, closing and consolidation of the larger corporations that fed them is a problem everywhere.
The people seem to be understanding that government is lying to them and that it is the entity that’s supposed to not let this happen. As the summer progresses more and more people are going to get ticked off.. It might only take one outbreak of civil disobedience some where to cause the whole thing to blow sky high.
It might be that the left wing media senses this and is backing off so they won’t look to be at fault if and when mansions start burning and rethugs and corportists begin appearing hanging from lamp poles.:gate::omg::jason::fist:

The way the “occupation of Iraq” is going Mr. better figure out how to get to the roof of the hotel in Baghdad so he can be plucked off by a helicopter. I remember a dream … it was a dream wasn’t it ?? of that happening in a place called Saigon about thirty years a go.
If the Kos is a vehicle for straight truth then it may b e best to limit the wild speculation….you know, we have to try to get in some sorta step at some point…if we dont then we will have another Rethug administration.
I think that Kos has always been tremendously m ainstream and that its always been a moderated board. Is that so unsual? I havent looked at what was deleted so I cant speak to the actual content, but I do thik that what Kos has done is a very good thing….as long as the information is true, why does he have to let everyone say anything that they want to?
Unless he is parading his board aorund as an open forum for all views, I dont see why he doesnt have the right to run it how he wants?
He used the story of the bomb hitting the convoy and the truck right behind him….it was great because he had that first hand experience of the roadside bomb experience saved up for this moment when they ask how dangerous it really is.
You cant get that sorta reporting from the hotel balcony!
Yay Mr…keep your head down!…

When you talk about having the facts. Michelson and Morley at MIT determined that the speed of light was a constant in 1921. The number they published was held as the truth until 1957 when some lowly tech Sargent in the air force looking at radar returns found that some of the DEW line radar stations were not where they were supposed to be. Several people checked his calculations and found them to be accurate and the only thing that would make the observed agree with the calculations was that the speed of light was wrong in about the third decimal place. He published his results in Science magazine and in the weeks following some fifty other physics people agreed with his findings. They were just afraid to say anything because after all MIT was infallible.
The particle/wave duality of light was also not recognized for quite some time because the either theory explained most things.. So if one wants to put forth a thought that the Bushevics were behind 911 and that the World Trade Center buildings were brought down by explosives its as good as any thing else as far as I am concerned.
Hartman is off in the ozone again this am. His observation that the vote should not be privatized is fine but some 80% of the counties in the US use Diebolds GEMS software on county owned computers to tally the vote and that’s where the highest probability of hacking comes in. Probably less than ten percent of those counties actually have turned the vote counting process over to private companies. A lot of the counties in which the “red shift” occurred in 2004 are dominated by a rethug political machine.
My problem with the events of 9/11 is when you contrast the physics with the “official” explanation, The “official” explanation simply doesn’t hold water. There are far too many unanswered questions or answers from the 9/11 commission that don’t make sense.

Cheers to YOU, Druid!
How’s the Talking Raven?
Yes, of course Kos has the right to moderate his blog any way he wants. It’s just that I don’t think it’s healthy to limit discussion like that. It’s one thing to get rid of real trolls on a blog, quite another to cut off actual discourse. Prior to the time Kos made this announcement Daily Kos was actually a better blog because you could read more of a variety of opinions and get a feel to what opinions and new is actually out there. Really important especially if you’re new to real political discourse as I was at the time.
Kos is wrong in his assumption that those who question what happened on 9/11 are all conspiracy theorisits. I personally don’t know what I believe – perhaps some of the stuff IS tin foil hat department stuff, but I’d like to read people’s ideas and judge for myself. However, I know I don’t trust my government and I want to hear what others think. Since Kos is a community to so many people who call themselves Democrats or liberals it would be nice if he allowed a broader range.
Lots of people go over there and STAY there, because it is “the” dem/liberal blog now. His agenda seems to be “what is good for Marcos,” which he is entitled to, but that doesn’t exactly lead me to respect him. I tend to think of conservatives as the ones who censor. I don’t want to think of people anywhere near or on my side of the fence doing that. So it’s just disappointing.
except that we need mainstream outlets in order to get the country back so that we can have hearings and commissions with power…not in the basement somewhere…
If we are all over the place with wild speculation then we wont be taken seriously….what Kos has done is a good thing because it addresses people who maybe just dont get muchmore info than Faux news….so its an intorduction. Everyone knows that its mainstream…and anyone who wants to go further can!
We are cutting off our noses to spite our faces with this idea that we should all just say whatever . If we dont have people voting democratic we will never have any official on the record inquiries into this stuff…and its notimportant for justice now, because who knows if that is even possible…but its important for generations to come to see that half of us and more had questions.
No one is gonna prove anything so big as to change much of anything in the near future…but it would be nice if we shook out the bad guys a little and demanded more from all sides….
We have discussed on this bog that Americans are allowing most of this c* to happen because they are living either in ignorance or in denial.. Based on the track record of this admin I would not put anything past them. Things came together much to rapidly following this incident for it to have been a surprise.
Let’s just say if you do a google image search with “safe search” turned off, you get some unexpected reults.
Will making or keeping Kos and other huge internet portals “center” or “mainstream” and limited help us or harm us? I don’t know. Perhaps you’re right, but I also see everything liberal and Democrat drifting ever further to the right – this has been a trend over the last couple of years, and all I can think is that it’s this attitude that’s not just “presenting a center” but actually moving things in that direction. And the move-to-the-right trend greatly disturbs me, I can’t help it. I’ve seen things move further and further in this direction during my lifetime and it just doesn’t make me a happy camper. So I don’t know.
Proving things depends a lot of getting information out there. There have been some people other than “mad bloggers” who have put forth dissertations on the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings.. just like there were some respected mathematical types who said the “red shift” phenomenon was not possible.
How much proof does it take ?? I have heard a lot of people say “well that’s just one persons opinion”. A lot of things have been proven by just one persons opinion.
hey was there a show last night? I dont see it here….strange…
How does one post a link?
Wow…no onw has put up a show since the 16th…..Im gonna have to figure out how to get involved with this mininova torrent thing…
Lots of things are possible, and the 911 commish is not the final word. The report was done quickly at minimal cost, with unsworn testimony, and its conclusions were political compromises.
But the notion that morons like Bush and Cheney could pull off a 911 conspiracy of this scale is just stupid. What was there about the New Orleans or Iraq experience that makes you think they’re capable of this, and how are they shutting up all the hundreds of people needed to pull it off? A competent conspiracy would have also fingered Saddam, not the Saudis, and would have found some heroic pose for Little George to strike during the attack, at least one a lot better than My Pet Goat. Come on people, let’s get real and stop wasting your energy on nonsense. On this one, Markos is right.
I have to go do something much less exciting than this blog is so far today.. but.. I don’t get paid for blogging.. be back later..
there are plenty of places to post consipiracy theories so it’s not like the subject is stifled.
if a dem is elected in 08 and then 8 or 9 months later there is a terrorist attack on US soil, God forbid, will the Rethugs give the Democratic president a pass like they did Bush?
PS I’m more concerned at this point with the voting problems.

Kos can do whatever he wants, I suppose (such as accept rather deceptive advertising from the telecomm companies trying to destroy net neutrality), but if you’re going to have ‘personal’ diaries, I really don’t see a reason to delete anything other than hate speech or spam (or obnoxious jerks who have already proven themselves to be trolls – as per the Blog Rulz posted here).
I personally don’t believe that the towers were brought down by anything other than the planes that were flown into them, nor do I think the Pentagon was hit by a missile. It’s all been discussed many times before, and I don’t feel like getting into it. It’s not that I would put anything past these people, because I think they’re capable of pretty much anything.
It also wouldn’t surprise me if these people were complicit in the attacks – either directly, by planning and financing them, or indirectly, by failing to respond to the warnings ahead of time (or on the day of the attacks). President dummy sure looked stunned, though, so I doubt he was in on it.
However, I also wouldn’t rule out the possibility that it was utter imcompetence on the administration’s part. They’ve been nothing but incompetent in everything they’ve done, other than using the attacks to ram their policies through. They’ve had a lot of help from both parties on that score, but only the dwindling number of true believers can see these people as anything but arrogant, bumbling, incompetent fools.
But, I sure as hell wouldn’t issue a fiat from on high saying “though shalt not discuss 9/11 conspiracies.” Afterall, Kos doesn’t have to promote them to the front page, and if his readers want to recommend diaries or comments, then that should be up to them.
Shouldn’t it?

But things in Denver are not that different than in most cities. A mojority of the foreclosures here are in Adams county north of Denver- ARMS made by out of state mortgage companies to (mainly) hispanic first-time home buyers. It skews the demo for the whole front range. I think you could find the same situation in any city. The mortgage brokers don’t even have to be liscenced in Colorado but that’s going to change in January under a new law passed and signed by Bill “I’m the little white man on the wedding cake” Owens. Exponential building-out of unusually large energy-sucking houses continues unabated in any-suburb-USA due to top-down class warfare.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Amid concerns over an expected North Korean missile launch, the United States has moved its ground-based interceptor missile defense system from test mode to operational, a U.S. defense official said on Tuesday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed a Washington Times report that the Pentagon has activated the system, which has been in the developmental stage for years.
“It’s good to be ready,” the official said.
U.S. officials say evidence such as satellite pictures suggests Pyongyang may have finished fueling a Taepodong-2 missile, which some experts said could reach as far as Alaska.
“There’s real caution in how to characterize it so as to not be provocative in our own approach,” the defense official said of the move to activate the system.

What anti missile defense system ??
Oh yeah the one that has never successfully shot down a missile .. ๐ :omg::rant1:
does anyone here have any experience with student loan consolidation? I need to deal with that in the next few days.
I keep hearing people say that Feingold should run for president. Really? http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=317534
A twice-divorced man has two chances to win the presidency; slim and none. Even agnostics will question the judgment of someone who makes two poor decisions [in this case, getting married when you have absolutely no time to devote to your wife].
It may not be fair, and its surely a double standard, but that’s realism.
Its going to be Clinton or Warner, and probably Clinton. And we’ll be so desperate that we’ll hold our noses and pull the lever.
Problem is, with Hillary, a lot of progressives just won’t bother to vote, but she’ll be a motivator for all the rightwing nuts and Kristian Konservatives to get out to the polls to vote against her.
Did you all see the blog post today from Mr FK.
Check it out.
thanks isi, I didn’t know! He’s working his buttinski off that I hardly get to talk to him. he has a spot on nightly again tonight, btw. (just did hardball)

kp, i consolidated a long time ago with the same lender. clark howard has something on it on his web page. he’s big around these parts and very good with consumer stuff (see above re: credit freeze).

you think a woman has a better shot than a twice-divorced guy? hmmmm. I’m a cockeyed optimist and will hold out for Gore.
A negotiated solution to the Iranian nuclear crisis is within reach
by Noam Chomsky; June 19, 2006
The urgency of halting the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and moving toward their elimination, could hardly be greater. Failure to do so is almost certain to lead to grim consequences, even the end of biology’s only experiment with higher intelligence. As threatening as the crisis is, the means exist to defuse it.
A near-meltdown seems to be imminent over Iran and its nuclear programmes. Before 1979, when the Shah was in power, Washington strongly supported these programmes. Today the standard claim is that Iran has no need for nuclear power, and therefore must be pursuing a secret weapons programme. “For a major oil producer such as Iran, nuclear energy is a wasteful use of resources,” Henry Kissinger wrote in the Washington Post last year.
Thirty years ago, however, when Kissinger was secretary of state for President Gerald Ford, he held that “introduction of nuclear power will both provide for the growing needs of Iran’s economy and free remaining oil reserves for export or conversion to petrochemicals”.
Last year Dafna Linzer of the Washington Post asked Kissinger about his reversal of opinion. Kissinger responded with his usual engaging frankness: “They were an allied country.”
In 1976 the Ford administration “endorsed Iranian plans to build a massive nuclear energy industry, but also worked hard to complete a multibillion-dollar deal that would have given Tehran control of large quantities of plutonium and enriched uranium – the two pathways to a nuclear bomb”, Linzer wrote. The top planners of the Bush administration, who are now denouncing these programmes, were then in key national security posts: Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz.
Iranians are surely not as willing as the west to discard history to the rubbish heap. They know that the United States, along with its allies, has been tormenting Iranians for more than 50 years, ever since a US-UK military coup overthrew the parliamentary government and installed the Shah, who ruled with an iron hand until a popular uprising expelled him in 1979. . .
How about a twice-divorced guy who has remarried and has experience running for President?

So what if his wife is taller than he is. America needs a leader who’s not afraid to reach up and kiss his wife. ๐
If they want to re-enact the Al/Tipper makeout thing at the convention, that might get a little weird, though.
:rofl2:
The Democraps know that running Hillary is not what the great number of the left actually left of center want. What happened with Code Pink at the Take back America Conference will happen over and over again until they find an appropriate candidate or the people who really care start having primaries using their 30-06’s.
Feingold is fine with those people on the left too. Pandering to the stupids who would care about how many times a politician has been married is also not something we want the dems to do. The thugs will probably eliminate them from the voting roles anyhow.

Poor Mr looks very tired and still in his black shirt….this situation looks very bad.

Hartmann has one of his libertarian straw clown opponents on.
Hartmann is to the right of the Republicans on immigration. Can anybody guess where he will triangulate next?
Why is this crackpot on again? Where is Sam and Janeane?
This is web video called God’s Army about fundie schools training people to go into politics.

:omg::omg::eek::yuck::-(
Oh Fred, I heard about that! Some scary shit.
Sam is out selling F.U.B.A.R.. some place. Janeane said on the air a month ago she was going to become a consultant and cut back on being on the air.
it’s been awhile since MReport has been on, though, hasn’t it?
Sammy’s signing books here in DC tonight, and then going out for drinks with the Drinking Liberally folks at 8:45 at Dr. Dremoโs Taphouse, which is actually just a few stops from me on the Red Line here. I was thinking of going, but it’s a bit late, and I’m not up for the whole $5 draft thing tonight.

Frontline (PBS) will be broadcasting something about Cheney and his role in the war on terror tonight.:omg::yuck::eek::40:
That should be interesting…hasn’t PBS been taken over by neocons? I wonder what kind of spin might be on this show
This lady must have been from Denver.. The thugs are still encouraging kids to major in science and engineering.. probably to drive down the wages even further.:barf::barf::crap::yuck::eek::gate::omg::jason::fist:
Hartman’s approach in telling this probably made half a million listeners turn off their radios and their streams. Some may have gotten out their assault rifles and seriously damaged the wall behind their XM radio ( they probably wouldn’t shoot their computer .. would they ??)
What if the troops in iraq have been drawn down to 50,000 or less by 2008 and the consensus is that the remainder will be back within a year [not impossible, especially with a dem house] – will the left still be holding a grudge against Hillary and sit out the election? What possible reason would you have for letting a Frist or a George Allen beat her, unless you want the Supreme Court to go Total Crypto-Fascist. I think the Clintons figured this out a year ago. She’s corralling a ton of money. Now its possible that they’ve outsmarted themselves, but i don’t think so. i still smell a backroom deal, with all the kissy stuff between Clinton and GHW Bush, and “Babs” calling him “Son.’ Something is fishy there.

It is strange how many of the people in Thom’s chat room have just caught up on the news from ten days ago :omg:
Does the observation that Thoms chat room has about 15 people in it that are there almost all the time, at all hours of the day say anything about either their age or there employment status ??:omg: ๐ I hope they aren’t doing wine coolers all that time or they will get up and fall in the pool and miss their dividend checks.

Malloy is on fire!
Im interested to see what happens in the next few days as people realize what was odne to the soldiers…how much more clear could it be that if we take one out, the next one steps up?
If a video of beheading surfaces or something, we may see a quicker redeployment than anyone could expect. If its anything like somalia, even a ding dong like Bush might have to change directions…..
Im very worried about everyone there now because there will be more retaliation …and the beheading thing is more of a God thing than a negotiation….that means that they dont care and will fight forever….

Hey, man, what kind of computer did you get?
hp i can play half life 2 on my laptop! super sweet!
That’s cool. Either of you sheeple see Frontline tonight?:40:
i dont watch tv i saw nacho libre though!!!!!
no, I missed it and pooped out early (wanted to wake up for Marc)… how was it, did you see it? Cheney, right?
Well, yeah..Um…No. Not so much Cheney, but the intro was pretty good- using Cheney as a voice over, talking about the administration working in the “shadows” and in the “dark side” (we need star wars emoticons or something- just kidding). Basically it was about the falseness of invading Iraq, and missing Al Qaeda andOsama in Afghanistan and stuff
ok, sounds like it was actually interesting… guess some PBS shows still hit a truthful note, which is good…
he’s running on restaurant grease, it’s Marc Maron!
Where’d everybody go?:alc:
I’m still here. I’ll try to stay up for the whole show…for once!
Fine, then. I’m gone in two days, so you guys can take over. Whatever.:40:

Hey, I’ve read the sleep deprivations story. What’s your take on it, though?
just that you can’t think clearly or logically . :yawn: Eventually the dream cycle tries to get to you while you’re awake, though I don’t think I’m at that stage yet.
