Well, looks like the Republicans are afraid of losing at least one house of Congress, since they’re moving to extend tax breaks for the wealthy and Wall Street – and throwing middle-class folks under the bus – while they’re still in charge. Meanwhile, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reaches out to dubya, but Condi and the rest of the war mongers reject him out of hand. Not that they’re determined to have a war or anything. Oh well, could be worse, I guess. The CIA leadership could be up to its ass in hookers, gambling, and bribes.
Things look bad. Seems like Bush and co. are going to ignore anything and everything that might make peace. They want what they want, those PNACers.
Oh yeah, first :nixon:
2nd! ok im going to sleep! uh everybody look at yesterdays blog part of my trip to see maron is up!
Dudes, I’m too fucked-up. I burnt my god-damn thumbs tryin’ to build a fire, and I met some guy named Oliver. I dunno. Whatever. Anyway, my journeys leave me parched and deenergized. See you sheeple later- when I’m sober:peace:
Riley is such a jerk.. Why have people call in when you only allocate three minutes for them to say something. I suppose he is living in the same denial as most Americans. Riley apparently hires a limo to bring him to and take him home from work.. He must love looking like a big wig..
:omg:hookers:paranoid:
huh he makes it sound like he drives to and from work in my head? now im confused! but yeah he should do a little bit more calls well at least he does more calls than rachel!
hookers! where?:paranoid: sometimes hookers scare me!
I still wonder what was on the radio in Nazi Germany the day before the Allied air force began disappearing there major metro areas.. Should we not be a bit more alarmed over what Bushco is doing ??
I wonder what America will think when Jay Lenno or Letterman suddenly goes off the air followed by a loud screeching noise as the broadcast equipment melts.

I’m glad somebody other than me noticed that…maybe the call-in format isn’t his thing, but then he shouldn’t do it…fame getting to his head? That’s a damn shame.

When I read the article sent this morning about Bush ignoring that letter, I got this tightness in my chest … these people have their mind made up what they’re going to…I’m terrified. I can’t understand why everybody isn’t.
They say that the people broke up into small groups ,told crude jokes, sang songs and complained about the paint, the polish of the brass and the arrangement of the deck chairs in the last minutes before the Titanic went down.
:love:riley is a good guy leave riley alone!
hes doing the best he can! aar really has to get him a funny man to lighten up the show though!
:rant1:whatever ok im going to sleep! have too far to drive to be sitting here blogging!
It sounded like Wayne Gillman was about to bean him for being so lackadaisical.
kay later Seanie
Funny man: Marc Maron. Ok, I’ll stop dreaming now… 🙁
wayne gillman!!!!! newsdaddy! yay! woo hoo! ok sleepy time! :yawn:
i guess one could say that Riley is doing the best he can with what he has.. Maybe he needs some infrastructure improvements. :doh::fustrate::rant1:
I don’t dislike Riley…I think he’s better than decent. Pretty good most of the time.
Good morning sheeple! Thunderstorms this morning! Good, cos we definitely need the rain, but it’s knocked out power to my PC twice already.
Bush is coming to town today. Between the lightning and yesterday’s wildfires along I-75 and I-95, maybe he’s bringing Armageddon with him.
:fu:
Gotta get to work. Cruella Watch later today. Jeb is throwing Katherine under the bus. And not gently.
:banana:
riley seems to phone it in and half the show is repeated segments from the first hour and pretaped interviews i wonder how much time riley actually spends in front of a mic in the morning?
hey the kerfuffle lady is on!
Whoa, gotta watch those lightning bolts…(looking for a Zeus emo…there is none, darn) Katherine is under the bus? I picture her under a big house that just fell on her with only glass slippers on her feet showing…
I gotta read the blogs/news. Just turned Rachel on.
Americans are weird.. Three years a go we had a terrible fire season and probably 200 or more houses burned. One way to save a house was to spray it with this fire retardant gel. The gel unfortunately kills the vegetation it might land on. A couple of residents actually sued the fire department because they saved their house but killed off their pretty scrub oak bushes. I wonder if the same people will sue the government when their community is vaporized. ?? Naw… they are rethugs… anything in the name of the war on terra.
makes sense i would sue them too! ruin my plants!
david blaine is the devil!:holla:
I lost my condo to a fire a few years ago, believe me I’d opt to save my residence and dessimate every green growing for a mile…and I’m a plant freak, too. I just know what it’s like to lose everything.
More fish stories…!!!!!
Bush lying about his fish is the least of his lies.. Everything the man says has to be taken as meaning the exact opposite. Bush being a rich North Easterner probably doesn’t know a thing about fish except that you find them at the fish counter in the deli… or maybe its your maid or cook that finds them there.
Amen…fish are the least of our problems with him. Ulimately these kind of stories are just a distraction
had a dream I talked to TIpper and asked her to please encourage her husband to run for President. … I can DREAM, can’t I?
from Salon:
Hey everyone! Seanie!! Ive been wondering how you are!
Glad to see Kat back.. I was wondering yesterday..
Gore is one of the few Dems that look like they might actually be a real democrat.
I keep falling asleep during this KPOJ add for the Al Franken show.
Frank Rich is on Imus and all Imus is asking him about is The Wedding Singer (on Broadway) and movies…because he was a theater critic before he broke out as a political commentator.
that’s freakin scary, Farmerkat…
The David Blane thing was just sick. I saw a bit of the beginning and then caught it on the news last night…what a sicko
why would they give prime time TV time to a guy drowning himself? He also lacks charisma when hes talking….bubt hes a good street magician.
Will was hoping for more of that…what ever happened to regular entertainment? When did we start needing to see people having convulsions under water and almost dying?
So Frank Rich makes it through a 15 minute segment and the most timely things he can say are about the flight movie and David Blane sucking…dont we get a little CIA and government collapse this AM Imus? I guess not…it doesnt sell his enviornmentally safe soaps that benefit the ranch…ugh!
thanks for the first installment of your cross-country saga, sean. 😎
limpbaugh getting his dander up – click on audio (if you can stand to hear the man’s voice.)
hey fred – thanks!
So when Rachel becomes Stephie lite, and Imus talks sports and movies what deck did we find the water up to this morning ??
david blaine is the devil!:holla:
me and my roommate both agree he is the devil or somehow sold his soul or something
some of his street magician stuff is IMPOSSIBLE hence sold his soul or is the devil or something!
sleepy time! again…………
glad i missed imus then…
Wow Kat- that Tim Grieve is something with what he digs up…Why is he not into Perch-gate?..thats my non-scandal scandal….show Mr on ripcoco and see if it has legs!!:lol:
I love how desperate this administration is…to the point where they couldnt be bothered with the actual safety of our import food and especially meat, but they want to micromanage slipping messages into speeches that dont even reach anyone who makes a difference in support of the war!
At some point this all looks so INSANE….
Considering that Mom called just as I was literally wrestling Will out the door to the schoolbus as he tried to stay home as usual…and Mom is screeching that Frank Rich is coming on (alarm, alarm)…which I had turned on when she IMed me anyway….good old Mom, I guess I shold call her back and thank her because I dont have to see any other part of it.
What do you do when you find the bus driver has gone crazy.. it probably depends on how much Letterman you watch and how much :bong: and :40: you have on hand.
yesterday rachael said it was “interesting” that Iran used Switzerland to deliver Iran’s letter to the U.S. Nope, not interesting, normal. Without an embassy, they have to use Interests Section (like Cuba does) to shuttle information. thought it was weird she didn’t know that.
…and I guess I dont have to chime in on how I feel abotu Riley, considering that the last time I did Riley found out and blamed…was it Kev?…directly for responding to what I said and pasting it….whs that it? I have a feelign that Riley is not very up on the quoting, cutting, pasting, thing in email and blogs….
Yeah, I havent listened to him since the week after Marc left…I tried, but I just cant stand it.
And MOm really doesnt like it…she hates Danny Foldfruck for screwing up the morings…and if MOM doesnt like it (she who can stand Imus!) you know its bad….
She never calls me and tells me to listen to something Riley has on…she’d be more likley to tell me to turn on QVC or Savage!!
Then add this weird piece of news and you’ll know the ship is upside down!
EEKKK, Fred, you mean Abdul, Will’s driver? Hes a good muslim boy and…I give him lots of gifts of Dunkin Donuts prepaid cards so that Im sure hes got some caffeine onboard at least and maybe a donut or two for the drive. Cathy in the afternoon is quite obese and really sweet…but Im more worried about heart attack there.
Abdul ishaving a bus party for this route and they are gonna drive to school while drinking cocacola and eating cupcakes….can you say SUGAR?? Funny because most of the kids in this school have ADHD and they always give them lots of sugar…then they send home a weekly sheet that has a “tip” on the bottom about limiting carbs and milk to see if behavior changes…
But Abdul andhis sugar party is fine with me. he is a good guy…very nice to the kids.
OK…one funny thing on Imus this AM (which I just hadnt shut off)
The guy who pretends hes Mayor Nagin says that hes gonna hire David Blane as a flood consultant!!
I find that funny for some reason…need coffee I guess…
ditto
gotta go do the “baatan death march.” :billcat:
Ciao!
This is how I feel about Frank Rich and others appearing on Imus:
I don’t watch Imus much. I’m sorry to hear these people are kissing his toes. Especially Frank Rich. Egads. I like reading Frank Rich.
That is weird because I figured that one out all by myself
Good Morning! :joe:

Happy 1st Anniversary to The Huffington Post!
I think it has been a positive addition to the discourse. It makes the Drudge Report look like pre-k.
yeah, it turned out to be a pretty good place to get a lot of views…
Good Morning all. Freaky article Farmerkat
I dunno. I think the President of Iran makes more sense than the President of the United States.
I’d love to see those documents…
This from the article Farmerkat linked to, earlier:
I hate it, but it sure looks like Hillary’s march to the nomination is well on its way. I hated Bill’s Republican agenda. Now, we may be in store for Hillary, the Republican Light candidate.
I’m blogging and have online access from work today, very interesting, my boss is letting me run the whole place. Nothing to do but take a few calls and play on the computer between now and time I actually tutor, which is early this evening. Not bad 🙂
the irony of it is that Hillary won’t win Republican votes, because they hate her. She’s got a very narrow support base. Some Democrats and moderates I guess. I don’t honestly know how popular she is.
If savvy Democrats see Hillary has support from Murdork they may get ticked off and not send money.. That would get some attention.. well.. maybe not.. depending on how many of the fortune 500 are still here by 2008.
I’ve got to tell my mom…she’s still in the “well I don’t see how Hillary is so bad” thing…
This end appears to still be afloat .. barely..

Dollar firms as pressure on Beijing eases
>By Steve Johnson
>Published: May 9 2006 11:52 | Last updated: May 9 2006 11:52
>>
The fragile US dollar managed to eke out modest gains in European morning trade on Tuesday as the probability of the US citing China as a “currency manipulator” appeared to lessen.
The US Treasury will release its keenly awaited semi-annual report on the functioning of the foreign exchange market on Wednesday, with commentators split as to whether China will be named as a manipulator.
The conventional wisdom is that if China is named, a host of Asian currencies will strengthen against the dollar, in the short-term at least, in the expectation that Beijing may have to allow faster appreciation of the renminbi in order to head-off protectionist measures in the US. This in turn could usher in a new leg of broad dollar weakness against all major currencies.
However some analysts swung towards forecasting that China would not be cited after Tony Fratto, a Treasury spokesman, said on Wednesday that Washington believed Beijing’s commitment to reform was “real” and “we have said for a while that they are in fact moving toward more flexibility”.
“His words have raised the probability that the US will shy away from citing China,” said Derek Halpenny, senior currency economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ. “This makes sense to us.
“Upping the political pressure on a bilateral basis at this point would be counter-productive and given the G7 announcement that the IMF would take on a greater role on this issue, it seems likely that the US authorities would prefer to exert pressure more on a multi-lateral basis.”
Hans Redeker, head of currency strategy at BNP Paribas, agreed, adding: “These comments suggest that the US will refrain from naming China as a currency manipulator.”
This view helped the dollar claw back 0.2c to $1.2681 against the euro, 0.25c to $1.8551 against sterling and 0.2c to C$1.1146 against the Canadian dollar, although it was little changed at Y111.62 against the yen.
The dollar’s modest gains were most noticeable against high-yielding currencies, ahead of a widely expected US interest rate rise, also on Wednesday, that will narrow the yield differential of the high yielders.
The New Zealand dollar fell 0.85c to $0.6251 and the Australian dollar slid 0.35c to $0.7645, not helped by a fall in National Australia Bank’s business conditions index.
The yen continued its rally, firming Y0.3 to Y141.62 against the euro and Y0.45 to Y207.13 versus sterling despite Sadakazu Tanigaki, the Japanese finance minister, warning once again that “excessive and disorderly movements in exchange rates are undesirable”.
Mr Tanigaki’s comments come just days after Tim Adams, the US Treasury’s under-secretary for international affairs, called for politicians and officials to refrain from commenting on the market, in an apparent rebuke to Japan.
“Finance minister Tanigaki’s comments are important in that it signals that the Japanese authorities will not be bowing to US pressure to remain completely silent on the issue of foreign exchange policy,” said Mr Halpenny.
I think the M$M is reporting a lot of what the IRANian president says out of context. He seems to be more aware than 30 something percent of Americans are.
That doesn’t surprise me…they’re going to focus on the Israel thing to scare people, and going to leave out other things… going to read foreign news outlets on this story
Here’s what I see as the case for Hillary, from someone who wants Gore, Kerry, Feingold, pretty much anybody else from the Dems:
1. Bill campaigning with her. Its like having the Beatles warm up the crowd.
2. The Clintons don’t take any prisoners. Washington DC is such a rat trap, filled with vermin like Russert, and Matthews and [fill in your choice] that you have to be Nixonian to survive. What a clean up job, just getting the moral equivalents of a Libby or a Negroponte out of the government. They’re had six years to infiltrate all these slimeballs into the State Dept, NSA, etc. It won’t be pretty.
3. First woman prez; this is something to celebrate for the country, even if Hillary isn’t your cup of tea.
4. Money. Also, 5 through 27.
How strong, really, is your hatred? Are you really going to sit home if the choice is 4 more years of appointments like Scalito? How many think that a Prez Hillary is going to invade Iran after this disaster?
Well, we’ll see, won’t we?
Cresttwo – as much as I personally like HRC, IMHO she can’t get a national support. Oddly, for many ofthe reasons you raise.
BTW
evening / morning all :yinyang:
Have you heard his on-the-phone card trick?
http://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/archrndwn/2002/nov/021102.waitwait.html
It makes you believe his in his devilishness.
If the Clinton’s operate as they did during Bill’s admin they won’t so diddly squat to get the crap out of DC. They should have cleaned up after RayGun but they didn’t. Bill was one of the best republican presidents we have had.
I personally can’t see Hillary getting elected. Too many people seem to hate her on a visceral level, and I think she’s alienated enough of the lefties that she won’t get an enthusiastic turnout. I can see her locking up the Democratic nomination, though, because of all the money and the influence of the DLC and DCCC. I just think that if she’s the nominee, we get president McCain (or whatever) and losses in whatever the Dems pick up in the House in ’06 (because the people that hate Hillary will turn out en masse).
:yawn:back to sleep!
:omg:holy shit sue ellicott on wait wait dont tell me! so thats what happened to her!
She was on Wait Wait way before Morning Sedition. In fact, she was the only one I’d heard of before AAR.
Wait Wait ?? Where was Sue ??
OH… On National Prepublican Radio …:mad::eek:
:barf:
I like the sound of this 😀
Put on thick rubber gloves and a chemical mask and check out what Drudge is ‘reporting’ – Rupert Murdoch to host a fund raiser for Hillary! This, after she appeared at a Fox Party the other day? What the hell is going on? What’s next: will she hire Karl Rove?
Okay I know its Drudge, but if its true…?

The Furor Over the “Colored Mind Doubles”
By ISHMAEL REED
All one has to do is read Poets and Writers to find that the backlash on Multiculturalism has even affected the arts. Except for a few tokens, most of those listed as writers invited to conferences, to conduct workshops and do readings are white. One exception is the Naropa Institute’s summer workshops held in Boulder, Colorado.
Poet Anne Waldman is probably responsible for this being the most diverse of summer workshops. Another is the literary festival held in Flagstaff, Arizona where I appeared from April 21 to the 23rd. Flagstaff is located 8,000 feet above sea level near Hopi and Navajo country. An elderly white woman, a passenger on the shuttle that takes three hours to transport passengers from the Phoenix airport, complained about Native Americans operating casinos, an opportunity denied to whites, according to her. This is Goldwater country. But unlike many of today’s conservatives, who are using the label as a cover for racism, Goldwater was unpredictable.
Flagstaff is a place where you can catch a glimpse of ancient America. Twenty minutes from town, one can find pictographs, carved on rock faces, left by the Anasazi who dwelled in this area for six thousand years before leaving in the 1300s.
The town’s revenues are mostly derived from tourists who arrive from around the world to visit the Grand Canyon. I didn’t notice any blacks when I arrived and so I remarked to our host that I felt like James Baldwin most have felt in Switzerland.
I’ve had this experience on other occasions in the west. In Laramie, Wyoming when I was invited to speak there, Grand Forks, North Dakota, Missoula, Montana and Pullman, Washington. When I was about 19, traveling from San Francisco to Buffalo, New York, our car was stranded in North Platte, Nebraska. Being a black person gave me celebrity status. . .

I don’t see much in way of stifling ethnic expression in NYC, (we’re lucky in that way), but under Mayor Guiliani and since there has been much political pressure for public spaces to only display politically correct art. Can’t criticize religion in your artwork, etc. The Mary Magdalene with dung, etc. Artists come out of art school thinking they can express themselves and now they’re told to walk a thin line. I know that it’s not exactly the same topic, but got me to thinking

Memo from Earl:
Thank you for contacting me about you concerns regarding “network neutrality” and ensuring that the Internet remains open and free for consumers. I am a strong supporter of ensuring that network providers solely follow the route of maintainers and not gatekeepers. The daily online activities of Americans should remain uninhibited and they must retain freedom of choice in their content. Congress must be careful not to inadvertently enact legislation that restricts legitimate uses of the Internet or promote anti-competitive behavior. It is my hope that the current “Communications, Opportunity, Promotion, and Enhancement Act of 2006” will contain strong provisions that protect consumer choice and continues to promote freedom on the web. Thank you again for voicing your feelings about this important issue. I will keep your thoughts in mind as the situation develops further. Sincerely, Earl Blumenauer Member of Congress For more information on my work in Congress and to sign up to receive electronic updates about these and other matters, please visit my website at http://blumenauer.house.gov.

I was out one day hitchhiking across the sky
I caught a bolt of lightning that came shooting by.

toodles till around 8:30 EST fellow seditioners, work calls
Between Ed Shultz talking about everything except the issues and the Young Turks repainting the line down the middle of the road and Rhodes whining .. The liberal media has sucked this afternoon.:barf:
The people who call into these shows are so middle of the road, politics as usual , lets bash the thugs , lets complain about the dems not bashing the thugs, blaw , blaw , blaw.. :rant1::cry::mad:
People who call in seem to see that the thugs are headed for a dictatorship but they never mention the way one usually gets rid of a dictatorship, and worse yet neither does the host. The thugs must see that there is some penalty involved with their actions.
:banana:i think i might buy this house in september!
Nice little house.. isn’t there more room in the cab of your truck..?? You won’t know what to do if you don’t wake up to essence of number II every morning. I mean a lot of people buy RV’s you can make money with yours.
well if i buy that house i can live rent free! my roommate will move and he will pay all the bills and i wont have to pay rent! ha so all i will have to pay for is my food i kick ass!
Oh, I hate it when I wake up to the essence of #2. Not that crazy about #1, either.
i might charge him like 100$ rent or something too because uh thats more than fair 100 rent and pay all the bills
ok well i am gonna hit the road later sheeple!
Well the DA said that the Collection agency has a license to operate in Colo and has an address in a building with a lot of other addresses but no offices.
These guys must have learned from these front companies that finance the thugs smear campaigns. or maybe it was visa versa.
Tomorrow we are going to have a conference call with the bill collector.. I will attempt to not threaten to do something bad to him ( I would like that to be a surprise). I’ll even take along a pair of ear plugs.
Depending on where you are the housing bubble is just about or has peaked out.. It might be a good idea to wait until the fall and see what happens. If we start having rabid inflation the house might not appreciate at the rate you expect it to relative to the value of money or the value may even go down.
OK, I have just uploaded my final, final (finally), and am officially finished for the frickin’ semester. If I didn’t face the prospect of being homeless in DC this summer, I would be rather ecstatic right about now.
Hey, PJ…congrats on the final final!! Now, if you can find a nice place to perch this summer you’ll be set!
Seanie- I cant believe thatyou can get that size of house for 13-8 up there. My best friend from growing up went to the university there and is raising a family on a pretty regular job…no wonder!
You could pay cash for that and….well, besides taxes…but if you take a motrgage you’d have tax writeoffs…but ultimately pay more.
Its very cute…
You cant get 3 bedrooms and a cute porch down here for less that 6 or 700,000
Oh yeah…so much for perch-gate…it was a BASS!!
There goes my brilliant muckraking!
I dunno, I think the White House changed the transcript after they found out it would have been a record perch. Besides, a 7 1/2 pound bass as the top moment in your presidency is more lame than lying about a monster perch.
Shit, he coulda at least said it was the time he rassled that 7 1/2 pound pretzel into submission. Oh, that’s right, it was the other way around.
Seanie-
Is that house a joke?

Bolten said to push Goss’s exit

Very interesting read…
onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_780.shtml
The Iranians sent a second letter – to Time, which “offers a more concrete foundation for negotiations to resolve the nuclear impasse. In the two-page memorandum, intended for publication in the West, Hassan Rohani,representative of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khameini, on the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) and Iran’s former top nuclear negotiator, defends Iran’s nuclear posture, decries American bullying, and puts forward a plan to remove the nuclear issue from the U.N. Security Council and return it to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, a long-standing Iranian goal.”
I think the Iranians are playing this administration for arrogant suckers they are.
congratulations on the final final of the finals, pj! :banana:
The Alberta neighborhood in Portland can probably best be described as funky and fun. The residential area is caught in the mixed controversy of gentrification, with many of the older houses spiffed up inside and out, and property values have been rising on a sharp upward curve. Many homes express a unique and artistic flair that suits the neighborhood’s nickname, The Alberta Arts District. Alberta folks seem to prize their individuality, and you’ll find a multi-cultural demographics mix of locals and visitors.
:omg:
Thanks. It was a pretty piss-poor, uninspired effort, I must say. But at least it’s over.

Yeah Nicki- every once in a while when I am in that neighborhood for work I go there. Great coffee, wireless and some kind of savory muffin or soup.
It is so hard to eat decent food on the road. I am getting freaked out by food and how it is harder and harder to tell where our food is from.
I nearly freaked out trying to find an organic apple yesterday. The local ones were 2 years old I’m thinking and everything else was from Chile. Guess I’d better read Fast Food nation before I freaking freak out.
So did anyone listen to the show last night?
The podcasts are up now earlier and earlier. I am beginning to feel better about springing for Premium.
:knit: guess I killed the blog:knit2:
I think I killed my brain brain.
Yep. Sbluefox killed the blog.
no i am going to have my daddy go check it out for me though see what the deal is with it
Uh… oh, ok!
Wait are you talkin bout the house thing place
lol i signed up for a maron daypass and itunes just keeps downloading the new funny! kick ass!
yeah i have about ten grand in the bank right now house is 14 so uh yep if my dad checks it out and says its good it will be mine!
That’s cool. Seems like it’s pretty cheap, though. Do ya think there may be some kind of catch to the whole deal? Like, maybe, a nuclear power plant in the back yard or, uh, I dunno, termite infestation or some such
I saw a nice lookin’ convertible online for like 5 bucks, one time.
Did I say somethin’ wrong? Where’d everybody go? Oh, man, I knew I should’ve kept my fingers clinched :fist:Fuck!
:omg:Maybe there was a blog killer that once lived there!
maybe lol yeah well its not that good a neighborhood but near where i went to high school kind of an in between neighborhood with low property value pretty good people though gonna have my dad check it out should be better than staying where i am though i mean why pay rent when i can charge rent?
ok well im off again later travis!:fire:
The fact that the Iranians see Time magazine as a equally valid or mor useful outlet for their views that one to this administration is terrifying. Can you imagine if Kennedy blew off Khruschev? We wouldn’t even be here to be having this conversation! 😯
As for the UCC….I don’t affliate myself with any denomination, but I do consider myself, at a base level, Christian. These guys are the last remaining bit of faith I have in the religion. It is unfathomable to me that the networks won’t show those ads. What chicken-shits they are. It makes me :barf: !!!
Are the masses really so caught up in their own daily lives that they don’t see what the hell is happening? From here it sure doesn’t look pretty!
Sorry….pretty wound up after listening to the show with Scott Ritter last week. Still catching up! Glad to be back though sheeple!
Oh yeah….and now Hillary can officially kiss my ass! Rupert Murdoch fundraiser. :yuck:
🙁 sorry for killing the mood….I feel like I did.
This will shake things up: Um, if you want to see the Liberal Blogs sidebar links go crazy, just put your cursor on the Theatre part of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre link.
