News, education, female superiority, and just about anything else
Normally I am not a big Oliver Stone fan, but the more I see about this movie, the more I am liking what I see. I can’t wait til it comes out and I can watch for myself.
It’s still scheduled to be released on the 17th of October.
Yeah, I know the guy is way older than his opponent, and we don’t want to discriminate against somebody based solely on his age, but cripes. He started out at the bottom of his class, and since them he’s done nothing that he couldn’t have done without a lot of friends in powerful places and a ton of his wife’s money. If being a “regular guy” means you’ve got brain damage, then I don’t want a regular guy running this country. It’s about time we had a President who doesn’t have cognitive impairment. Is that too much to ask?
Of course, it’s because John McCain is now claiming to be a “fiscal conservative”. Inquiring minds not just want but need to know exactly what that means, and Young Turks will explain that for you.
So you see, a “fiscal conservative” is one who will drastically cut taxes while in office, while dramatically increasing spending. A “tax-and-spend liberal” will produce a balanced budget for you.
It looks like fiscal conservatives are the new tax-and-spend liberals. Or is it the other way around?
What about John McCain. What is he? He’s a guy who admits he does not understand economics. Puhlease. Paris Hilton would make a better President.
The lie, of course, is not that it is now safer for American military to be in Baghdad or some other part of Iraq. The lie is that the increased troop presence and things our troops have done there will have lasting, positive effects on life in the city for those who live there and will have to continue living there after the departure of our troops.
What have you seen or heard from Baghdad that was not produced in cooperation and with the approval of the military commanders?
City of Walls
The Killing Fields
The Lost Generation
Ivins, of course. Bruce E. Ivins, not Molly, who is also dead and sadly missed.
It certainly appears that one researcher working alone could have done all the technical stuff involved with this. They decided that before they spent untold millions of dollars focusing on the wrong guy, who is now $5.2 million richer for the harassment.
Maybe they have evidence proving he was the one who wrote all the little terrorist letters and notes that pointed to Islamic terrorists.
But it’s kind of hard to figure how he could also be the four separate highly-placed officials who were feeding disinformation to ABC during the panic, the network’s broadcasting of which was undoubtedly a major part of the cause of the anthrax panic, as well as the subsequent investigative focus on pinning it on somebody, anybody.
I’d like to rank some of the possibilities, but we have multiple threads here. So it’s not a simple “either/or” situation. Let’s just see what is probable (according to my limited knowledge here) and I’ll suggest alternatives where the probabilities seem to require them.
I’m really only trying to make you think and do your own research, not cover such a vast topic comprehensibly.
Okay, so what might have happened?
This should sound like fiction, but unfortunately it does not sound nearly enough like fiction. Is there anyone working in the current Administration who has no ethics, no limits, and no respect for the American public, someone who might have participated in something like this?
I don’t like “conspiracy theories” that dig deep and throw a wide net in an effort to explain something that has a very simple explanation. But this does not have a simple explanation.
The case is made that this is plausible. In the absence of an apology by ABC for making it all up, I’d have to put my money on the last one. And even if ABC did apologize I’d have to take their apology with a grain of salt, since we have to consider the possibility that they might have been knowingly in on it, too.
The History Channel
The only people who know anything about the subject are also the suspects.
Part I
Part II
Watch war criminals of the Bush Administration tried by a court of the absurd. Anything can happen, and frequently does. Nothing is ever as it seems.
The next episode is due out August 12th, and I’m eagerly looking forward to it.
‘W’, the movie. Release is scheduled for October. When do we get the Opera?
Here I was, pissed-off about how Congress has been colluding with the President to dismantle our Constitution, how by all appearances a shadow dictatorship has been setup, and Congress overrides a veto. Well whoop-de-doo! Maybe if it was some issue that wasn’t overwhelmingly supported by the public, or if it wasn’t too little too late, it might have meant something. But they’ve already given the keys to the crooks and stood guard while they cleaned out the national treasury and sent the money to Lichtenstein, Dubai, and the Cayman Islands for Dick Cheney and his cronies to enjoy.
So what happens but I see this 2001 Onion article, a wonderful piece of prescience. Whoever wrote it had much more on the ball than you-know-who, our chimp-in-charge.
In case you’re unaware, the Onion is a news magazine of humor, parody, and cutting insight.
But it hasn’t been fun, and it sure as heck hasn’t been real fun.
75% of those surveyed blame Bush’s policies for the deteriorating economy.
The slide continues. With the president’s popularity hovering around the drinking age, a new poll reveals that the American people think things are going to hell in a handbasket, and George Bush is responsible.
Even Republicans are realizing that the blame resides with the guy who they handed the car keys to.
And as long as we’re looking to assign responsibility, Alan “didn’t happen on my watch” Greenspan is saying we’re going into a recession. I guess he’s the last person on the planet to realize that.
