THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE PART TWO
An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie Plame's employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, indicates that Plame was "covert" when her name became public in July 2003.
The summary is part of an attachment to Fitzgerald's memorandum to the court supporting his recommendation that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's former top aide, spend 2-1/2 to 3 years in prison for obstructing the CIA leak investigation.
The employment history indicates that while she was assigned to CPD, Plame, "engaged in temporary duty travel overseas on official business." The report says, "she traveled at least seven times to more than ten times." When overseas Plame traveled undercover, "sometimes in true name and sometimes in alias -- but always using cover -- whether official or non-official (NOC) -- with no ostensible relationship to the CIA."
Back on March 18, 2007 I did a post on this subject and I felt at that time she was indeed undercover. Back than there was this NOISE MACHINE that wanted to discredit Valera Plame and her husband. One of the people doing this smear job is Victory Toensing.
Go back to that March 18th post and listen to Hannity and Toensing LIE, LIE, LIE. . .
As I said in that post. "We await their apologies and statements of correction."
You won't hear it.
FAIR, BALANCED AND STUPID
I came across this study on how much time is devoted to three areas of the news by CNN, MSNBC and FOX. It's pretty interesting.
I find it interesting that FOX NEWS gave less than half the airtime that MSNBC did to coverage of the war in Iraq -- 15 percent. So much for that Your Fair and Balanced News channel.
So if FOX wasn't doing the Iraq War what the hell where they doing. Looking again at the numbers--Anna Nicole Smith. Coverage of her death trailed just barely the airtime spent on the Iraq policy debate, accounting for 9.6% of all the Fox content studied (versus 10.1% for the Iraq policy debate). Fox also stood out for its lack of coverage on the firings of the U.S. attorneys, compared with the other channels.
The story, which gained real momentum in mid March, consumed a mere 2% of Fox's total airtime. CNN devoted twice that percent (4%) and MSNBC four times (8%).
Before you file this in the round file, think about this. There was a study about global perceptions that came out in 2003. In it, participants were asked three questions (that would have correctly been answered 'NO'):
1.) Has it been proven that Saddam was working closely with Al Qaeda before September 11th? 2.) Have weapons of mass destruction been found in Iraq? 3.) Did world opinion favor America going into Iraq?Later in the study, the researchers compared the answers to these questions against where the participants said they got their news and information from. 80 percent of Fox News Channel viewers answered 'YES' to at least one of these questions. (With 2/3 thinking an Iraq-Al Qaeda link had been proven, 1/3 thinking WMDs had been found in Iraq and 35 percent thinking world opinion supported the invasion.)
Being the most watched - doesn't seem to lead to more informed viewers.

Can we really fail to see how this works, not just on Hardball, but also in Outlook? And this is the mainstream American press corps, not the "right-wing noise machine." Yes, these are the hero tales they now attach to all Big GOP White House candidates. McCain was sliding-and Ole Fred might get in. So he'd get the tale now, Carlson said.
But Big Major Dems? They're just too fat. They're just too strident, too girlie. The press corps' useful Dems even go into print complaining about their "bangs." (In October 2000, this same loathsome tool was still telling us Gore's a Big Liar.) Even when Dems turn out to be right about every known issue-even when they become Global Heros-they still drag out simpering losers like Garrigan and let her recite her goony tunes about what she can't imagine. (Al Gore doesn't look like Worf!)

In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts. . . So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down." It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's"
Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice.

It takes the brain of an ant to make this kind of rationalization for his behavor.
Tom DeLay criticizes Gingrich for, among other things, conducting an affair with a Capitol Hill employee during the 1998 impeachment trial of Bill Clinton. (The woman later became Gingrich's third wife.)
"Yes, I don't think that Newt could set a high moral standard, a high moral tone, during that moment," DeLay said. "You can't do that if you're keeping secrets about your own adulterous affairs." He added that the impeachment trial was another of his "proudest moments."
The difference between his own adultery and Gingrich's, he said, "is that I was no longer committing adultery by that time, the impeachment trial. There’s a big difference." He added, "Also, I had returned to Christ and repented my sins by that time."
Man I don't know why these guys don't just shut up. Like I said it must be their brain size.
POLITICAL PERSECUTION OF MICHAEL MOORE!
Michael Moore's latest film, SiCKO, will target U.S. health care. A fitting target at an opportune time, you have to admit.
In true Moore fashion, he proves his point with well-executed sensationalism by taking workers whose health deteriorated after they participated in the 9/11 cleanup to get care they can't get in the United States in Cuba. Take that, conservatives.
Only thing is, the Bush administration now has film footage of Michael Moore committing a crime or, well, violating a trade embargo, but either way, they were not about to pass up an opportunity to make the filmmaker pay for Fahrenheit 9/11.
In a letter dated May 2, Moore was notified by Treasury that the department is conducting a civil investigation into his violation.
They not only screwed up the War in Iraq, they are now providing Moore with some great publicity. When will they learn to just shut up. Oh by the way in the big DUST UP between Fred Thompson and Michael do you remember Michael asked him about his Havanna Cigars. . . oh it could get nasty don't you think.
The movie is scheduled for release on June 29.
Here is a short trailer for the movie.

Could anything be dumber than that sad Matthews story? And could any conclusion be more predictable? He does seem honest and open! "For the press, he would be The New McCain!" And Matthews, of course, said he'd fallen in love. The following Monday, Matthews amplified his cohort's new hero tale. This is exactly what Jack Welch must have known he was buying:
MATTHEWS (4/2/07) Lynn [Sweet], let`s talk for a minute-because I want to talk when we come back about Fred Thompson. It looks to me-and this is my seat-of-the-pants judgment-he looks like the daddy figure the Republican Party has been looking around for. He looks classic wise man. He has gravitas. He's no Dan Quayle, a guy-when he says something he's got that Colin Powell feature, where you just sort of trust him. Is he going to jump in this race and take over?
Readers, you just sort of trust him! Of course, for years they told us we could "just sort of trust" the plain-spoken plain-talker from Texas, George Bush. Now we're told we can just trust Ole Fred. And we're told about John Edwards' bangs.

SHOCKING STORY
Remember last Friday I said I lost power for a couple of hours. I couldn't figure out why because it was a nice day with no wind.
Well over the weekend I came across a little article in the Kitsap Sun that said it was a Squirrel that caused all the trouble. Seems it entered the substation and touch an energized conductor, which created a power short. It said "the squirrel's gone to a better place."
So there you go a SHOCKING STORY FOR SURE.
THEY'RE KIDDING, RIGHT
MSNBC is eying Joe Scarborough "as a possible replacement for its Imus in The Morning program," Multichannel News reports.
"While network executives emphasize that they have not made a final decision on a replacement for Imus... they say Scarborough has impressed them on trial runs in the morning slot.
"I think he really impressed people with his performance, MSNBC general manager Dan Abrams says. A decision will be made "sooner rather than later."
I think they're trying to be like FOX NOISE. But damn who in their line up is doing the best. Not Matthews, not Tucker and sure as hell not Joe. It's Keith Olbermann. To me it's an obvious choice. . . get someone that leans left and can take on the Fox Noise machine.
Of all the guest host's I think Stephanie Miller is the one. I sent MSNBC a couple of email suggestion that they pick her up, I'd start getting up at 3 am again.
Send MSNBC an email now!
HERE ARE THE ADDRESSES:
Email Dan Abrams (General Manager of MSNBC)
Email Bill Wolff (VP of MSNBC)

I saw this on one of the Blogs I visit every week. I wish I could write like this guy. He talks about how the SO CALLED left leaning media isn't so left as the FOX NOISE and the RIGHT WING would have you believe. Visit his site for many other great stories.
If you still can't see the pattern behind last Sunday's Outlook section, then you really need to leave the stage and stop discussing American politics. No one would publish such idiot work unless there was an agenda behind it, and that agenda has been increasingly clear over the past fifteen years. When it comes to the election of presidents, our multimillionaire mainstream press corps is now a Republican/Republican-leaning institution; they have hero tales for Republican candidates, and girlie-man tales for Big Dems. On Hardball, they simply couldn't run fast enough to tell us how smart and handsome Ole Fred was (see THE DAILY HOWLER, 3/30/07). This was just a taste of the nonsense when it emerged that Ole Fred just might run:
MATTHEWS (3/29/07): You know what I like about him? I interviewed him when he was running for the Senate. He was the underdog out in Tennessee, in Nashville. I said, "What hotel are you staying at?" He said, "What hotel are you staying at?" We were both at three-star hotels. He comes over, meets me for breakfast, no entourage, not another single person with him. This is when you fall in love with politicians. Maybe it`s rehearsed, but-and I said, "Well"-I'm doing a column in those days. I said, "What about your divorce? You want me to write about that?" He said, "I prefer you wouldn't." I mean, I just like the fact that he has a little unhappiness in his past, maybe some misbehavior problems, but he just says, you know, "I`d rather you didn't."
MARGARET CARLSON: For the press, he would be The New McCain, because he does seem honest and open.

SPECIAL EDITION
DID ROSIE CALL OUR TROOPS TERRORISTS?
We need to practice some Critical Listening in addition to Critical Thinking. Some people hear only what they want to hear not that which is said. To see just how this works I'll use something that has been the talk of the cable channels for several weeks, especially FOX NOISE.
I've taken the so-called fight between Rosie and Elisabeth. I say so-called because I don't think is started out that way and I'm not sure that's how it ended up. Unlike some folks that seem to think they have the inside scoop even though they weren't there.
One small example of this is that I heard on several cable shows since Friday that said Rosie isn't coming back, that she did her last show on Thursday. Well surprise, surprise see what I found today on The View WEB page. "Tune in on Monday, May 28 for Rosie's last day with The View." Image that and these talking heads spoke with such authority.
To all of them I say "You're entitled to your own opinion; you're just not entitled to your own facts."
Let's begin at the beginning. I've take the three shows that talk about the issue at hand. I have not cut or edited them in anyway. They each run just under 10 minutes. I just let each segment run from beginning to end so you can make your own judgment as to what was said, what was intended to mean by the words spoken. In other words you get to use your Critical thinking and listening skills, so you can make up your own mind.
SHOW 1: This is the show that gets it started. Rosie is talking about the people in Iraq that have been killed during the past 5 years.
SHOW 1a: Here is just a snippet of the words the pundits have jumped on. It's short about 30 seconds.
SHOW 2: Here is the second show a few days later.
SHOW 3: And the last show.
I found this on Rosie.com and I think it tells the story as it truly is, not some jerk that can't hear and what he does hear he needs to spin it to fit his agenda.
Did Rosie Call Our Troops Terrorists? By Shelly
The is directly from the transcripts of The View for May 17th:
O'DONNELL: I just want to say something. 655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists? HASSELBECK: Who are the terrorists? O'DONNELL: 655,000 Iraqis - I'm saying you have to look, we invaded - HASSELBECK: Wait, who are you calling terrorists now? Americans? O'DONNELL: I'm saying if you were in Iraq, and the other country, the United States, the richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your citizens, what would you call us? HASSELBECK: Are we killing their citizens or are their people also killing their citizens? O'DONNELL: We're invading a sovereign nation, occupying a country against the U.N. I just watched Chris Matthews and his panel of journalists including Howard Feinman, Jill Zuckman, and Jonathan Capehart. Matthews asked the panel after replaying that segment of the show if she in fact said that our troops were the terrorists. They unanimously agreed with Matthews that she did call our troops terrorists. That conforms with the majority of journalists who have reported on this comment. Rosie does not mention the troops at all in that segment of the show. She poses a rhetorical question. "Who are the terrorists?" "I'm saying if you were in Iraq, and the other country, the United States, the richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your citizens, what would you call us? "In both of her rhetorical questions she refers to the "United States" and "us." The policy of the United States or "our" policy in Iraq is not the responsibility of the soldiers who are ordered to execute the policy. It is obvious that state supported terrorism can only be implemented by those who have the responsibility of doing the fighting and dying. But, it is not the soldiers who are the terrorists in that hypothetical. And she was not calling the soldiers terrorists. It is absolutely absurd that these journalists agreed with the interpretation that Matthews and the majority of the MSM had concluded. These journalists who are supposed to be experts on language and communication certainly know that she meant that the U.S. policy was the villain here and not the soldiers. Yet they persist in accusing the accusers who do not fit into their elite club. People like Rosie and others who have been branded as eccentric and outside the main stream are always fair game. They do it with many others who speak truth to power by carefully portraying sound bites out of context. They have done that to Noam Chomsky and Gore Vidal for years. The truth is that it was the elite reporters like the Hardball panel aforementioned who aided and abetted the rush to war in Iraq and fostered the terrorist policy that has resulted in this catastrophe. So it is not Rosie who is the villain. It is journalists like these who have to rationalize their lack of courage and appropriate skepticism of a "policy" that has resulted in the deaths of thousands of our soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis.
I could not have said it better. Now you have all the info you need to make up your own mind. Did Rosie Call Our Troops Terrorists? To me it's clear by her own words she did not. Your turn.
I wanted to post the following on Rosie's Blog but she has turned off the comments section for a little while to give it a rest.
Hi Rosie,
I don't have a question just a short WISH YOU WELL.
I just saw on The View Web page that your last day will be Monday the 28th. There are two reasons that notice is important at least to my way of thinking.
First and foremost I think your Fans deserve to say good bye. I think that's important for them. . . They truly do Love you, as do I. You've got guts.
The second reason is because of what I heard on a number of cable shows since Friday that said Rosie's LAST DAY WAS LAST THURSDAY. How these folks have such insight is beyond me.
But, Oh my gosh, once again you've made the pundits eat crow! Way to go.

A LOOK BACK PART 1 OF 2
I also came across this next post back on 12/16/2005. It too is worth repeating WITH UPDATES.
I WORRY (12/16/2005)
I received a letter from someone that said he liked my BLOG but that he "was more conservative so I disagree with many of your opinions" which is fine. As a result it caused me to send the following reply and gave me an idea to add an on going Headline called "I worry".
Thanks for the comment on my BLOG, I enjoy putting it together each day.
You said you are more conservative so you disagree with many of my opinions. I scratch my head and wonder how could that be.
- I worry over the more than 2153 troops that have died in a war of choice. You don't really believe that there was a connection between Saddam and 9/11 do you.
- UPDATE: 3434 dead.
- I worry about a trade deficit that is close to $70 billion dollars.
- UPDATE: $296,410,457,373.99 billion.
- I worry about the disconnect between America and the Troops. What sacrifice have we made.
- UPDATE: This hasn't changed one bit.
- I worry that we will build a NASCAR Racetrack with taxpayer dollars and like the Bremerton Golden Tunnel we (the people) won't be able to stop it.
- UPDATE: Looks like I was wrong about the Track but not the Tunnel.
- I worry that we have to many LIFE TIME congressmen that don't seem to look out for the people they represent.
- UPDATE: This hasn't changed. It's still true.
- I worry that a Medicare Drug Program is so screwed up that most people don't understand it and even if it has some benefits (which I doubt) they won't take advantage of it.
- UPDATE: This drug program is good for the manufactures not the people.
- I worry that the Religious Right is the only voice that is getting through and that really worries me because that's been the problem throughout history when people can not compromise but hold on to an ideology that is my way or the highway.
- UPDATE: This is changing I think but it's still not the way the founding fathers wanted it. And don't tell me I HATE GOD now.
- I worry about the $226 billion and rising that we've spent on Iraq. I wonder what we could have done with that kind of money in America.
- UPDATE: It's now $428,450,400,000 and counting.
- I worry about the $8 trillion National Debt that my kids and grandkids will have to pay.
- UPDATE: $8,813,595,226,667.05 trillion.
- I worry that no one in this current administration can admit they made a mistake, about anything.
- UPDATE: What a laugh this is, NOTHINGS CHANGED here.
- I worry that Donald Rumsfeld is in charge of Defense.
- UPDATE: He's gone but the pain lingers on.
- I worry that congress has so little to do that they can spend time on the BOGUS Christmas issue. But then I remembered they came back to talk about the Terri Schiavo case.
- UPDATE: Now it's the WAR.
- I worry that given a chance they will screw up Social Security.
- UPDATE: Thank GOD for the War it keeps them from doing anything else.
- I worry that Bill O'Reilly's head will one day explode.
- UPDATE: Hasn't happened yet but he's working on it.
- I DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE ATTACK ON CHRISTMAS.
These are just some of the things I worry and think about. I don't know if I'm conservative, liberal or independent my guess is all three.
Anyway hope you continue to read my BLOG, but I'm running out of Yogi stuff and will need to go to George Bush sayings to get me through for awhile.
A LOOK BACK PART 2 OF 2
In yesterdays post I talked about the Smart Car that I ordered. Well this morning I was doing some research on past postings and came across this one that I posted on 12/21/2005.
As you read this post remember that just a few short weeks ago they had the big auto show and what kind of cars did the US makers put on display? Yep, BIG ASS CARS that get 12 miles to a gallon. Well here is one result of these guys not having a clue as to what they should be doing. - - Toyota has overtaken GM as the BIGGEST Automaker in the world.
As the post back in 12/2005 clearly says SMALL IS BETTER. It was true back then it's even more so today. Check these current gas prices out.
DETROIT ARE YOU LISTENING (12/21/2005)
Subcompact Demand Tips Scales to Japan
After piling into minivans, sport-utility vehicles and even pickup trucks, Japanese automakers are crowding into yet another corner of the U.S. market -- itty-bitty economy cars.
Japan's Big Three -- Toyota Motor Corp., Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co. -- all have new small cars hitting U.S. showrooms next year. Toyota is bringing out the Yaris, its best-selling model in Europe. Nissan has the Versa. At Detroit's North American International Auto Show, which begins Jan. 8, Honda will unwrap the Fit, another hot seller in Europe and Japan.
Is Detroit going to continue to build the BIG MUSCLE car and lose sales to the Japanese?

BID MAKES BREMERTON DOWNTOWN TUNNEL A GO
The lowest bid for the downtown Bremerton tunnel project came in $2.7 million above budget, but the state is going to award a contract anyway. Tri-State was the lowest of four bidders, said Brenden Clarke, project engineer for the state DOT.
Construction on the tunnel is set to begin in June following Monday's announcement that the state Department of Transportation accepted a $30.7 million bid from Tri-State Construction of Bellevue.
OK, let's see if I have this right.
In the first go around on the BREMERTON GOLDEN TUNNEL bid the state said they had $25.0 million for the project.
The bids came in and the low bid was. . . OOPS $31.7 million, $6.7 million to high. So the state went back to the drawing board.
Then the state came back (after MUCH thought I'm sure) with a new number that they could afford, $28.0 million.
So out for bid we go.
Round two bids came in again with the low bid coming in at the low, low price of just $30.7 million (a FULL $1 million less than their previous low bid).
So there it is a cool $1 million saved. WOW pick me up I just fell off my chair.
The real question is DOES ANYBODY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS REALLY THE FINAL PRICE. Any bets?
NEWLY DECLASSIFIED PAPERS DETAIL BIN LADEN PLAN FOR TERROR ATTACKS AGAINST U.S.
President Bush, trying to defend his war strategy, declassified intelligence Tuesday asserting that Usama bin Laden ordered a top lieutenant in early 2005 to form a terrorist cell that would conduct attacks outside Iraq - and that the United States should be the top target.
In January 2005, bin Laden tasked Al Qaeda operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was in Iraq, to organize the cell, Townsend said. Al-Zarqawi, the former leader of Al Qaeda's Iraq operations, was killed there in June 2006 by a U.S. air strike.
Two questions I have : That was 2005 the war in Iraq started in 2003 and BINNY-BOY is still alive and living in a cave in Afghanistan, why is that Mr. Bush. And second what's his name was killed over a year ago. . . why is this news.
Finally it sure is funny how he can declassify document when he want's to use the info to his benifit. Plus I don't trust your intelligence. Prove it.
WHAT I'M READING
Hello, my name is Roy Chowthi, and I'm the author of the brand new book on Bill O'Reilly titled "Bill O'Reilly Versus The Truth, Confronting The Propaganda Of Bill O'Reilly And The Scam Of The 'No-Spin' Zone". In recent years I've been particularly moved to write this book about Bill O'Reilly because I came to the conclusion that he is one of the most dishonest and deceitful persons I have ever known in my lifetime. There are two dimensions to his dishonesty that I focused my analysis on: the first is his bogus claim to be non-partisan, fair, and independent (the notion that he has a "no-spin" zone is absolutely laughable), and the second is the way he twists everything to support his right-wing ideological point of view without regard for truth and facts.
One of the things I do in the book is I expose the tactics and the instruments O'Reilly uses to present his propaganda as "facts". I identify eight instruments or devices he frequently utilizes to twist his lies into what he calls the "truth". If one can grasp the underlying psychology surrounding these techniques, one will easily be able to debunk the lies and propaganda that O'Reilly engages in on a routine basis.
I've just started to read this book and wonder why Billy-Boy hasn't come after him for telling the truth about Billy-Boy. The book just came out so it's probably to early for that.

THE MESS
WHAT IS IT WITH THE RIGHT AND RON PAUL
Ever since the Republican debate last week FOX NOISE has tried to do damage control without much success in my book. It started with Sean Hannity the night of the debate when it was obvious that the viewers at home GOT IT even if Hannity couldn't.
What was it that Paul said the made the right go crazy? Well for one he spoke the truth. And oh my god does that hurt.
"I think the Republican party has lost its way," said Paul. "It is the advice of the Founding Fathers to follow a non-interventionist foreign policy, stay out of entangling alliances, be friends with countries, negotiate and talk with them and trade with them."
He was then asked if 9/11 had changed anything.
He said:
"The U.S. foreign policy was a major contributing factor. Have you ever read the reasons they attacked us? They attacked us because we've been over there, bombing Iraq of 10 years. We don't understand the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics. Right now we're building an embassy in Iraq that's bigger than the Vatican. We're building 14 permanent American bases. What would we say if China were doing this in our country?"
Responding to Rudy Giuliani's charge that we invited the 9/11 attack because we were attacking Ira was a "pretty absurd explanation for September 11th"
To which Ron Paul's answer was:
"I believe very sincerely that the CIA is correct when they teach and talk about blowback. When we went into Iran in 1953 and installed the shah, yes, there was a blowback. A reaction to that was the taking of our hostages and that persists. And if we ignore that we ignore that our own risk, If we think that we can do what we want around the world and not incite hatred, then we have a problem. They don't come here to attack us because we're rich and we're free. They come back and they attack us because we're over there. I mean, what would we think if other foreign countries were doing that to us?"
So there you are the shocking truth. Something I think most adults in America know in their hearts and minds. Like a pain that one may have experienced at one time in our life we bury it in the deepest part of our brain.
Tell me you haven't wondered at one time or another why our country would support one dictator and not another. Why even today there was a story about the $5 billion we have given to Pakistan and yet it doesn't look like we are getting any thing for it.
What Paul said is not the complete story but it's certainly one that needs to be told.
DO I SUPPORT THE TROOPS
I don't want to see you dead, that's why I want to bring you home.
Does that mean I don't support the troops? Does that mean I hate President Bush? Does that mean I hate America?
If that's what you think I can't help it, I don't want to see you dead.
THE BILL CLINTON FACTOR
I've talked about this before but last night it seems to me Chris Matthews went off the deep end with his obsession of Hillary. He did this whole segment on where the Clinton's live. He is such a dumb shit, I can't believe he has his own show.
This first video establishes the direction of his talk.
THE BILL CLINTON FACTOR - HALF THE TIME
In this segment he is trying to figure out how much time (in days) they live together. He says he's going to keep pressing THIS ISSUE until he gets and answer (that he likes).
In his mind this is the most pressing problem of the day.
THE BILL CLINTON FACTOR - PISSED OFF CHRIS
You'll see in this video clip what I mean about Chris going off the deep end. He's asking if Bill Clinton will live in the White House and Lois Romano lets out a laugh and Chris jumps on her like she has commited the worst crime in history.
He says "I don't want attitude about this, I want facts." Now you tell me if this is the most pressing question of the day. For god sake Chris take some time off.
THE BILL CLINTON FACTOR - BIG ISSUE FOR A LITTLE MIND
In the end Chris says it's a bigger issue than what Lois is saying. Well I guess if your mind is made of mush like Chris's is then it's a big issue.
He really has a twisted mind in my opinion. I can't imagine what makes him think like this. It's just plain crazy.

POINT OF VIEW
OH CRAP
A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten million bucks.
His bookkeeper is deaf. That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.
When the Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language. The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is."
The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the money is. The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about."
The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."
The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple and says, "Ask him again!" The attorney signs to the bookkeeper: "He'll kill you if you don't tell him!"
The bookkeeper signs back: "OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens!"
The Godfather asks the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?"
The attorney replies: "He says you don't have the balls to pull the trigger."

Keep the Internet open to all! We have until 6/15 to tell the FCC we want Net Neutrality! Speak Up Today!
They are among the telecom executives fighting against Net Neutrality. That's the idea that Internet users should be able to access any web content they choose, without restrictions or limitations imposed by Internet service providers.
Net Neutrality rules expired last summer, and now the FCC must decide whether or not to renew them. We have a chance to comment - but the public comment period closes on June 15th, and it is critical that they hear from us.
And these companies are some of America's wealthiest corporations. They're throwing millions of dollars into lobbying Congress and the FCC on behalf of their own interests. They don't see the Internet as a democratic medium - they see it as a cash cow.
Click here to have YOUR say. Tell the FCC you want Net Neutrality protected now.
If the FCC does not act soon to protect Net Neutrality, the Internet as we know it could vanish. Forget an open exchange of ideas, art, activism, and entrepreneurialism. We'll be left with an Internet that's controlled by a small number of corporations who just want to use it to fatten their bottom line.
Please take a moment to send your comment to the FCC before the comment period closes on June 15th Let's make the FCC listen to us, not a handful of wealthy executives. Let's protect the freedom of the Internet.

His resignation is effective the 30th of June. I've heard that that the reason for the 30 June date is so the United States retains the right to appoint his successor.

The spring ritual of college commencements comes around too fast for some Washingtonians who speak at graduations across the country, so many end up recycling the same lines and stories year to year. Few, though, are in the same league as Tim Russert, host of Meet the Press, who has delivered dozens of graduation speeches and received honorary degrees from more than 40 schools. Some schools publish transcripts of his speeches on the Web, and students have begun to note that Russert's commencement addresses all sound pretty similar. This year students at Washington University in St. Louis have protested having Russert address them at graduation, saying, "Let's not 'Meet the Press.'" Two years ago, when Russert was set to speak as part of Harvard's commencement exercises, two seniors, Max Brodsky and Dave Ferris, went over his old speeches and produced a bingo card (shown below) of his favorite phrases. Throughout his speech, Brodsky recalls, students could be heard saying "bingo" when Russert's words hit one of the squares."

After watching last nights GOP debate I just had to do a RANT today.
Well the 3rd debate of the season was held last night and according to FOX AND FRIENDS this morning FOX was the big winner. I guess you knew that would be their take didn't you. Fair and Balanced shining through. It was interesting that before the debate they hyped this text messaging system so the regular folks could vote for who they thought had won, just like American Idol. It would be great fun. Didn't turn out that way. More a little later. I thought the format was fine. I think they all did a good job moving the debate along. The problem is for the most part the questions where of the average garden variety not much new and very little "Where's the beef." There was one question that raised above the din of the "talking point" answer and that was addressed to Ron Paul, who I feel won this debate with his very thoughtful answer. See "THE COMPLETE CONTEXT" below. These so called debates have pretty much been the same. I'd like to see them come up with some new and probing questions. For example; They say "We need to fight them their so we don't have to fight them here." In light of the "Fort Dix Six" how is that true? Click here. <----( watch the video ) Is there a BIGGER, DUMBER SHITHEAD than Sean Hannity. You Decide GOP Primary Poll Results I got these results off of the FOX NOISE web. I assume they are correct. But if you listened to Washington Journal on C-SPAN this morning most of the calls said Ron Paul won. So to me this is a case of the numbers don't tell the whole story. He won this debate with his answers regardless of what LOUD MOUTH HANNITY SAYS. Click here. <----( watch the video ) Here they are not ten minutes off the stage and they already are twisting what Ron Paul. Here we find Duncan Hunter who got 5% of the votes says Paul said "We started 9/11" . HE DID NOT. . . that's pure BULLSHIT. Click here. <----( watch the video ) During this interview LOUD MOUTH HANNITY tries to shout down Paul's answer. The answer by the way was perfect. He took Hannity's words and threw them right back in his face. Hannity tried to twist what Paul had said. Hannity said "are you suggesting that the United States of America caused the attack on 9/11" Listen to this exchange it shows just how incredibly STUPID Hannity is. It's fun to watch him put his head up his big ass. Paul is dead right on this and he slaps the crap out of Hannity. Click here. <----( watch the video ) According to Hannity it's OK to Flip Flop. Unlike back when Kerry was running and of course it wasn't. Don't you just love these guys. Click here. <----( watch the video ) FOXNOISE likes to play little games from time to time. That's part of the reason the dems have back out of a FOX sponsored debate. Just as an example of what I'm talking about consider this. I watched the debates from start to finish and so I saw the updates to the voting each time they came on. Look at the four images below. Each time they showed them Paul was leading until the very last one in which it was a dead heat. So what does the creative folks at FOX do? They swap Romney and Paul around. Now you might say that's a bit petty isn't it Mick. Well yes but that's the kind of thing they do. If you know anything about how things work position has a lot to do with how things are viewed. The first position implies leading the pack. Just think about it, Paul was in the lead until the end so why was it necessary for FOX to move the positions because they tied at 27 to 27?

I don't get Bill O'Reilly and his thing about George Soros. According to Billo Soros is behind EVERYTHING BAD in this country and the world. I think he started the War in Iraq too. On Billo's hit list he's just a bit higher than Rosie. Both have made the Time's Most Influential People in The World list. Where are you Billy-Boy? Oh that's right your calling people names every 6.8 seconds. I don't know what O'Reilly does in terms of charitable efforts but check out just this one aspect of both Soros and Rosie.
From the very beginning, this administration emphasized loyalty over competence. And at some point, that catches up with you, said Paul Light, a professor of public policy at New York University. He said the increase in scandals and investigations also reflects the natural decay that happens late in a second presidential term as many experienced people have already left and those remaining start focusing on their financial futures. Some recent incidents: Paul Wolfowitz, World Bank President Matteo Fontana, a Department of Education official Lurita Doan, head of the General Services Administration Julie MacDonald, who oversees the Fish and Wildlife Service Republicans like to emphasize that scandals, some large, most small, happen under Democratic presidents too. But Bush's critics say the number of current ethics allegations is unusually high. And they say evidence is strong of close links between the Bush administration and certain industries such as energy and defense. For instance, Philip Cooney, a former oil-industry lobbyist who became chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, acknowledged to a House committee last month that he edited three government reports to eliminate or downplay links between greenhouse gases and global warming. He left the government in 2005 to work for Exxon Mobil Corp. Former Air Force procurement officer Darleen Druyun served nine months in prison in 2005 for violating conflict-of-interest rules after agreeing to lease Boeing refueling tankers for $23 billion, despite Pentagon studies showing the tankers were unnecessary. After making the deal, she quit the government to join Boeing. Scooter Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, became the first high-level White House official to be indicted while in office in more than 100 years. He was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice in a grand jury's investigation of the outing of CIA operative Valierie Plame. Ties between Bush administration officials and convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff also taken its toll in the executive branch, as it has in Congress. J. Steven Griles, a former oil and gas lobbyist who became deputy interior secretary, last month became the highest-ranking administration official convicted in the Abramoff influence-peddling scandal Former White House aide, David H. Safavian, was convicted last year of lying to government investigators about his ties to Abramoff Not all the administration officials who have left under a cloud have been accused of white-collar misconduct. Claude Allen, who was Bush's domestic policy adviser, pleaded guilty to theft in making phony returns at discount department stores. And oh yea we haven't even hit on putting incompetent people in positions that they are not qualified. You remember "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." -President George W. Bush, to FEMA director Michael Brown, who resigned 10 days later amid criticism over his job performance. VoteVets is running this blistering new ad from one of the troops' own. Watch it.

"A sharp increase in mortar attacks on the Green Zone - the one-time oasis of security in Iraq's turbulent capital - has prompted the U.S. Embassy to issue a strict new order telling all employees to wear flak vests and helmets while in unprotected buildings or whenever they are outside." Vice President Cheney made a surprise visit to Iraq. At one point, Cheney emphasized to the assembled journalists that "this is just a photo spray." Later in the day, as reporters filed into an embassy conference room for another photo of Cheney they overheard him tell his staff "then we kick the press out." Cheney has been a vehement supporter of the Iraq war and has consistently argued that the insurgency is fading. In June of 2005, he said, "I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." According to the VP's pool report: "Around 5:20 p.m. (local) there was a distant explosion that rattled windows at the building where the VP and the press corps are working today. Seasoned Baghdad hands, security contractors, troops and diplomats, said this happens regularly and didn't seem especially alarmed, though the press corps was hustled two floors down to a basement 'attack shelter.' The blast sounded like a mortar rocket." Do you see the disconnect in almost everything the Cheney says and does. Things are really going spiffy over there in IRAQ. What a bunch of BULLSHIT that is.

Back on October 4, 2003 in his radio address President Bush said the following.
"The men and women of our coalition have shown bravery and skill and compassion in Iraq. And they know their mission. They know that we are fighting terrorists in Iraq so that we will not have to face them and fight them in the streets of our own cities. Our forces know that a secure and sovereign Iraq will be a setback for terrorists, and an inspiration to all who dream of freedom in the Middle East. And the world can be certain, this essential mission in the war on terror will be completed."
I've always thought that "fight them there. . . " statement was stupid on so many levels and have talked about it several times over the past couple of years. For one thing it assumes that all the Terrorists are in Iraq. We know that's a really dumb thing to think. Just look at my Post on 4-29-2007 and you'll notice the chart show that there have been 30 terrorist attacks up to April and they were not all in Iraq. I also disagree that we are safer because we haven't had another attack since 9/11. I'm not so sure that's true. We haven't had a successful attack might be a better way of saying it. This latest group "THE FT. DIX SIX" are in the same class as that Florida group. A little short on brain power. And isn't it funny how getting these guys was done with good old fashion POLICE WORK and now the COURTS. Not a large Army. Once again I say that John Kerry was right back when he was running for president and the republicans just laughed at him. Back then he said it required GOOD police action, GOOD intelligence and a GOOD judicial system. Good intelligence gathering and law-enforcement efforts - the very techniques the Bush White House has consistently ridiculed as ineffective in counterterrorism. All of which were in play in this case.
I think because Bill O'Reilly lies so much that he just can't help himself anymore. He is so damn paranoid about everything it's getting to the point there is no one left for him to get mad at. He seems to hate everyone if they have an opinion that goes against his. I got this from that same MSNBC WEB SITE he said didn't say a word about the fact that 3 of these guys were in the U.S. illegally. Something Bill-O said they did not say in his Talking Points and later during the first segment. I think his problem is he only reads the opening paragraph when he does his Fact Checking. I got this right out of the lead article about half way through the piece. I'm wondering if we'll see a correction on tonight's program. As usual don't hold your breath.

If you go by the book jacket of his new memoir, "At the Center of the Storm," George Tenet is enjoying the life of a retired government servant teaching at Georgetown University, where he was appointed to the faculty in 2004. The former CIA director played up the academic image when he kicked off the recent media blitz for his new book by doing an interview for CBS's "60 Minutes" from his spacious, book-lined office at the university. His academic salary, government retirement pay, and the reported $4 million advance he received from publisher HarperCollins, should provide the former CIA director with more than enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his days and leave a substantial fortune to his children. But those monies are hardly Tenet's entire income. While the swirl of publicity around his book has focused on his long debated role in allowing flawed intelligence to launch the war in Iraq, nobody is talking about his lucrative connection to that conflict ever since he resigned from the CIA in June 2004. In fact, Tenet has been earning substantial income by working for corporations that provide the U.S. government with technology, equipment and personnel used for the war in Iraq as well as the broader war on terror. These guys have no shame. They can look right into the camera and lie their butt off. They can leave their government job on Friday and walk into their new consulting job on Monday.
Will this guy be gone by the end of the week?

Think you can bust a move on the dance floor? Check out this horse - it's lengthy but will put a smile on your face. If you like horses, you will love this clip, you'll even forget it's a horse! Even if you don't, this is amazing stuff. This video is of Andreas Helgstrand and his 9 year-old mare, Matinee, at the World Equestrian Games. It is the Musical Freestyle Dressage competition, and they pretty much wiped the floor with everyone. Turn up the sound and watch this mare dance...she knows where the beat is.
Bill O'Reilly announced on his show last night that with the recent election of the new President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy Bill-O is calling off his boycott of FRANCE. Man all I can say is I bet the French are breathing and sleeping a lot better tonight.

Yesterday I saw a press conference back in Kansas. The Gov. Kathleen Sebelius was there as were 3 republicans 1 a Senator and 2 reps. And 2 FEMA guys. I got the feeling the republicans were running this show. They were falling all over themselves saying how great a job FEMA was doing and they were doing it FAST. The FEMA folks even announced that they had brought Five trailers to house displaced families and 20 more are on the way, said FEMA Director R. David Paulison, who toured the town by bus on Monday. I think I've heard that some 1400 to 1600 people are now homeless and FEMA BRINGS 5 TRAILERS. They still haven't a clue on how to do this stuff. Click here. <----( watch the video. )

I like to buy and cook strip steaks for my dogs at Costco. I then slice them into bite size pieces over the next several days. I did that this weekend. After I cook them I leave them on the counter top to cool. As you know a dog has a very good sense of smell and so Jada, my Australian Shepherd knew she wanted some of that good smelling meat and while I was working at my computer in the front room she was trying to figure out how to get to the meat. Well she couldn't reach the meat but she could reach my Pill box holder and so she did. It was funny in a way because she brought the bill box into the front room by where I was working. When I noticed it the pills where on the floor and I knew that two pills where missing. In a day I take about 12 pills and they are at different times through out the day (9am, 2pm, 6pm and 9pm). I figured out the two pills that where missing and called my daughter to have her call the vet she used since Jada was her dog until a couple of weeks ago. I gave her the names of the two missing pills and said since I can't find them any where we need to assume she ate them. She did some checking and even called The Animal Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 ( I didn't know this group existed ) to ask them what we should do. They said the two missing pills would not be harmful but just to be safe keep an eye on her for the next day or two. I've done that and she has not had any problems and so it's been a lesson learned for me. Keep your pills away from the edge of the counter. And keep that Animal Poison Control number handy. I've done both of those things.
This weekend in the Kitsap Sun I saw this letter to the editor. I just had to respond so I wrote the following. In today's Letters to the Editor B. T. wrote in to complain about the lack of "accountability/responsibility that we were all taught in journalism class?" Hey Bob, it's a comic get it. Don't get me started on the "bully pulpit" thing either. Do you really want to talk about "accountability/responsibility" that means something. Maybe we could start with the Bush administration. NAW they can't seem to see anything that they've done wrong or should be held "accountable/responsible" for in the past 6 years. By the way, Dobson told U.S. News & World Report that he thinks Gingrich is the "brightest guy out there" and "the most articulate politician on the scene today." Pretty close to an endorsement don't you think. But then there is this. "I went into the hospital for my third surgery. The two girls came to see me, and said, "Daddy (Newt) is downstairs. Could he come up?" When he got there, he wanted to discuss the terms of the divorce while I was recovering from my surgery." - Jackie, his first wife. Yea that's it he is a "PRETTY BRIGHT GUY AND ARTICULATE" too. We could think of him a "W JR."
How's that going Mr. President

In today's final episode Jon wraps it up by telling Bill Moyers how he feels he can fight back.
So with today's final episode you have the full interview. I'm tell you as I think I said at the start of this on Monday Jon Stewart is a thoughtful guy and he as a sense, a common sense about him that you don't see in many of our politicians. Good job Jon.

Looking at the chart above you can clearly see the TREND. . . it's a steady upward trend going from $ .995 per gal in 2002 to $ 3.259 just this week. I'll be surprised if it doesn't hit the $ 4 in the next couple of months.
I don't get these guys on the right. They don't want to allow a woman's right to chose yet it's OK to allow men to the right to HAVE A LITTLE FUN. And by the way we don't want to mention the BIG FAMILY VALUES that they are so very, very proud of. You're a good American Sean (bit of a hypocrite though). Jon Stewart has the story nailed again. You got to love this guy.

Is this still another example of Bill O'Reilly's hypocrisy? Here he is slamming Brian Ross and ABC for covering the DC Madam for all the damage it will do to people. He say's this guy Tobias, "who got thrown over the side" is not doing anything, I don't know what he did, I don't care what he did." Why is the police AND 20/20 going after this gal? This is from the guy that is LOOKING OUT FOR YOU. He want's these folks on the list to BREAK THE LAW. IT'S OK WITH HIM. Oh wait if you're an illegal alien just trying to make some money to feed your family then by GOD he wants's the FULL FORSE OF THE LAW TO COME DOWN ON THEM.

I got this e-mail yesterday. As you can see my ship has come in. I can now retire in style.
Gov. Jon S. Corzine apologized to New Jersey residents on Monday as he left the hospital 18 days after being critically injured in a car crash in which he was being driven at 91 miles per hour on the Garden State Parkway while riding without his seat belt.
"I set a very bad example," said a contrite Mr. Corzine, who broke his left femur, his sternum and 11 ribs in the accident. He spoke from a wheelchair just outside Cooper University Hospital in Camden. His voice breaking with emotion, he added: "I hope the state will forgive me. I will work very hard to set the right kind of example."
BUT GUESS WHAT.
The Governor was helped into a black GMC Savana van, with tinted windows. He left the hospital in a six-car caravan about 1:45 p.m. His vehicle followed a black state police Crown Victoria, and was followed by a Chevrolet Suburban - like the one he was riding in at the time of the crash - a Mercedes station wagon, and two other cars.
The governor's motorcade moved with the flow of traffic on Interstate 295, at some points sustaining speeds up to 70 miles per hour several minutes at a time, according to the speedometer of a vehicle traveling alongside; posted limits were 55 and 65.
I guess sometimes it takes a tragic accident to wake some people up. . .oh wait he was in an tragic accident.

I HAD A SCARE THIS WEEKEND
WE READ LETTERS
COMICS: 'Doonesbury' Missed the Mark on Factual Accuracy
What ever happened to accountability/responsibility that we were all taught in journalism class?
It seems that Garry Trudeau with his daily Doonesbury strip uses it as a bully pulpit with very little attention to accuracy. Comics are meant to make us laugh, and I like a good yuck as much as anyone, but there's nothing funny about the mean-spirited mistruths Garry Trudeau tried passing off as satire in a recent strip.
It's one thing to note in Doonesbury that the men leading the GOP race for the White House haven't demonstrated a commitment to marital fidelity. And it's fair to cite that history in suggesting those candidates can't brag of being champions of traditional values. But it's distorting reality to say, as Trudeau did, that Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family wants to ignore these problems.
It doesn't take much effort to discover that Dobson has been plain-spoken about the candidates' weaknesses. He's plainly said he couldn't vote for two of the men Trudeau referred to - and grilled a third on his national radio show about the would-be candidate's marital trespasses.
Dislike the guy as much as you want, but it's not Dobson whose blind allegiance to a political ideology is on display here.

BILL MOYERS TALKS TO JON STEWART 2 of 5
BILL MOYERS: Do you ever think that perhaps what I do in reporting documentaries about reality and what you do in poking some fun and putting some humor around a around the horrors of the world, feed into the sense of helplessness of people.
JON STEWART: No. I mean, again, I don't know, because I don't know how people feel. And you know, that's the beauty of TV, is they can see us, but we can't see them. I think that, if we do anything in a positive sense for the world, is provide one little bit of context, that's very specifically focused, and hopefully people can add to their entire puzzle that gives them a larger picture of what it is that they see.
But, I don't think, if anything, I don't think it's a feeling of hopelessness that people feel. I think if they feel - if they're feeling what we're feeling, it's that this is how we fight back. I can only fight back in a way that I feel like I'm talented. And I feel like the only thing that I can do, and I've been fired from enough jobs, that I'm pretty confident in saying this, the only thing that I can do, even a little bit better than most people, is create that sort of that context with humor. And that's my way of not being helpless and not being hopeless.
BILL MOYERS: Is Washington a better source for jokes now that the Democrats are in the majority?
JON STEWART: It's more fun for us, because we're tired of the same deconstructed game.
BILL MOYERS: Yeah, I saw that piece you did the other day on the Democrats debating how to lose the war.
JON STEWART: Right, exactly. This has been six years you know, we're worn down. And I look forward to a new game to play, and something new. I mean, the only joy I've had in that time is having Stephen's show come on the air and sort of give us a different perspective. And you know, because it's made of kind of the same genetic material as our show, it feels like it's also freshened up our perspective and kind of completed our thought.

BILL MOYERS TALKS TO JON STEWART 4 of 5
BILL MOYERS: I mean, it I said, "Something's going on with Stewart there." What was it?
JON STEWART: Well, first of all, there's you know, the process that we that was put the show together is always going to be affected by the you know, the climate that we live in. And there was a pall cast over the country. But also you know, you're fighting your own sadness during the day. Having nothing to do with that, we felt - we feel no obligation to follow the news cycle. In other words, I felt no obligation to cover this story in anyway, because we're not like I said, we're not journalists. And at that point, there's nothing sort of funny or absurd or to say about it.
But, there is a sadness that you can't escape, just within yourself. And I'm also interviewing a guy who's just written a book about his experience living in Iraq, faced with the type of violence that we're talking about on a you know, as he said, an unimaginable scale. And I think that the combination of that is very hard to shake.
And I know that my job is to shake it, and to perform, that's why it's performing and not you know, it wouldn't be a very interesting show if I just came out one day and said, "I'm going to sit here in a ball and rock back and forth. And won't you join me for a half hour of sadness." You know, they I-- have to I have to

BILL MOYERS TALKS TO JON STEWART 3 of 5
BILL MOYERS: War? War?
JON STEWART: But war that hasn't affected us here, in the way that you would imagine a five-year war would affect a country. I think that's why they're so really - here's the disconnect. It's sort of this odd and I've always had this problem with the rationality of it. That the President says, "We are in the fight for a way of life. This is the greatest battle of our generation, and of the generations to come. "And, so what I'm going to do is you know, Iraq has to be won, or our way of life ends, and our children and our children's children all suffer. So, what I'm gonna do is send 10,000 more troops to Baghdad."
So, there's a disconnect there between - you're telling me this is fight of our generation, and you're going to increase troops by 10 percent. And that's gonna do it. I'm sure what he would like to do is send 400,000 more troops there, but he can't, because he doesn't have them. And the way to get that would be to institute a draft. And the minute you do that, suddenly the country's not so damn busy anymore. And then they really fight back, and then the whole thing falls apart. So, they have a really delicate balance to walk between keeping us relatively fearful, but not so fearful that we stop what we're doing and really examine how it is that they've been waging this.

JON STEWART: I don't particularly enjoy those types of interviews, because I have a great respect for Senator McCain, and I hate the idea that our conversation became just two people sort of talking over each other, at one point.
But I, also, in my head, thought, I would love to do an interview where it's just sort of de-constructed - the talking points of Iraq - sort of the idea of, is this really the conversation we're having about this war? That if we don't defeat Al Qaeda in Iraq, they'll follow us home? That to support the troops means not to question that the surge could work. That, what we're really seeing in Iraq is not a terrible war, but in fact, just the media's portrayal of it. So, I wanted to just go through-- like, is this really the conversation that we're going other be having about something as significant as this war?
