The national media is a power-hungry institution. It maintains its power to determine what is important in American politics and government by making dupes of the American public. The “duping” occurs though media opinion polling.
To preserve their agenda power, the mainstream media have an ace in the hole: opinion polls. By asking the right questions of the public, the media can validate the legitimacy of their agenda focus by claiming the public has a similar view.-WashingtonTimes

John Snow, Treasury Secretary, to the Treason Times:
You have defended your decision to compromise this program by asserting that “terror financiers know” our methods for tracking their funds and have already moved to other methods to send money. The fact that your editors believe themselves to be qualified to assess how terrorists are moving money betrays a breathtaking arrogance and a deep misunderstanding of this program and how it works. While terrorists are relying more heavily than before on cumbersome methods to move money, such as cash couriers, we have continued to see them using the formal financial system, which has made this particular program incredibly valuable.-RealClearPolitics

“If today’s liberals cannot rouse as much passion for fighting a movement that flings acid at unveiled women as they do for taking back the Senate in 2006,” Mr. Beinart writes, “they have strayed far from liberalism’s best traditions.”
Its leading light these days, Rep. Jack Murtha, is fresh from proposing that we police the Middle East from Okinawa with a rapidly deployable force the Pentagon hasn’t invented yet.-WashingtonTimes
Cut
The editor of the Times writes to readers that “nobody should think that we made this decision casually, with any animus toward the current Administration.” That protestation is hard to credit when nearly every word written on the war by the Times’ editorialists and its publisher reeks with the very animus the editor denies. The newspaper has done courageous reporting from the Iraq theater, but nothing else it has done since the fighting started suggests that it counts itself as among those thinking primarily of the safety of our troops and the success of their mission. The fact is that the American people want to win this war. They are saddened at every defeat, angered at every compromise of our secrets, joyous at every victory. And the question Americans are asking today is what happened that their hope is no longer primary at the New York Times?-NYSun
We know the answer, believe me.

AS HE FOUGHT TO TRANSFORM New York City, the New York Times editorial board and liberal interest groups denounced him every step of the way. Giuliani’s style of forcefully stating his position and going on the offensive during press conferences will win him the respect of conservative primary voters who are fed up with pandering Republican politicians. In fact, this may be the main factor that ends up separating him from McCain, whose reputation as a maverick has been built on taking positions that made him into a liberal media darling.-AmericanSpectator
Cut
Do stand up for the heartland values that millions of Americans again endorsed in 2004 with the re-election of President Bush and ignore the editorial pages of the New York Times. Mainstream America does not support the liberal left’s social policies and conservatives should never be ashamed to fight for traditional values. This should be a constant drumbeat as it forces the left to show their true colors, from abortion on demand to gay marriage; as Rush Limbaugh says, “When liberals are out of power that is when they really get entertaining.” Conservatives should force the left to be themselves and show the American people that conservative values are mainstream values.-HumanEvents
Cut
Senator McCain’s crime appears to be that he is a conservative,” reported Niall Stanage in the New York Observer. “The protesters’ absurd rationale is that having the Senator at the ceremony is not compatible with the institution’s commitment to freethinking.
Defined in undiluted Orwellian terms by those seeking to bar McCain from campus, “freethinking” means that everyone’s free to think in the same way, free to become all the same, ideologically, adhering to a groupthink straightjacket that can’t tolerate hearing from a semi-conservative politician for half an hour.-AmericanSpectator

So much for the anti Bush schtick:
By Bruce Bartlett
From what I read on the blogs these days, most Democrats believe that their party’s single biggest problem is that it is not tough enough. Their solution is to be ever more shrill and hysterical in attacking Republicans. As a Republican, I think this is wonderful. It just makes Democrats look like kooks, and forces moderates to vote Republican.
Actually, I think the Democrats’ biggest problem is simple ineptness — they just aren’t very good at coming up with politically attractive ideas and marketing them effectively. I even have a theory about why this is the case.-RealClearPolitics

Did I actually just read this?:
“Ninety percent of the young’uns don’t know where Afghanistan is,” he blustered, failing to note that “The Daily Show” viewers are, statistically speaking, more informed about current events than his own audience (Bill O’Reilly), according to a study by the nonpartisan Annenberg Public Policy Center.-AJC
Define “current events.” That’s what I thought.
Cut
Why are the libs always “surprised” by good news? Is it because they’ve been forecasting doom and gloom for so long they started to believe themselves?:
In surprise, new home sales climb-AJC
Cut
Elitists liberals think they know what is better for your children than you, the parents, do. They want your children raised by the liberal ethos, which today is hedonistic, socialistic and indifferent, indeed hostile, to America and the Judeo-Christian ethic. They wish to replace centuries’ old family traditions that work with their version of how life should be lived. That way, their crudity and permissive chauvinism will not stand out. No one will be left who can reproach.
So as to diminish family rights, elitist liberals assert that American families are red-neck types incapable of doing good by their children, acting brutally to their own children. It is a blatant falsehood and indicative of how liberals view other Americans.-HumanEvents

Such irony! A local agent of the corporation which willingly produced 600 “Black Raven” gas vans used to murder 600,000 innocent civilians for Hitler’s “Einsatzgruppen” has the temerity to place a full-page ad expressing “moral outrage” over anything.
None but false patriots, philistines, reprobates and the wilfully ignorant fail to recognize that Mike Luckovich’s “Torture” cartoon is precisely and prophetically correct.
As true American’s Our Motto is Annuit Coeptis: “Divine Providence Blesses Our Endeavors.” The pursuit of righteousness, above reproach, is the only path to the moral authority The American People deserve and require.
Thanks AJC for allowing Mike Luckovich to lead the way!

I thought this guy just spoke off the cuff and would take on any question…
At the second event, Clinton spoke and answered preselected questions for an hour, urging the students to work together to fight poverty and promote tolerance.
I guess that would mean one question if he only spoke for an hour.
“All this bitter partisanship has been poison for this country,” he said
Are you calling off all your cronies with their 501C slander sites?
Clinton said it is “unconscionable” that the United States has not toughened car emission standards, and he objected to the president’s efforts to permanently repeal the estate tax. An estate tax on the richest one percent of Americans could raise $25 million to $40 million a year, enough to wipeout extreme poverty around the globe in a decade.
Bill next time you’re at your Presidential library and massage parlor ask somebody why you didn’t do this while you were President for eight freaking years. While you’re on these topics why don’t you get in touch with Warren Buffet and ask why he insists that the $37 billion he is giving away should be used in a way that doesn’t allow it to be taxed in any way.
As for the cartoon, I guess when you can’t think of any way to trash the U.S Military with a cartoon like Pot to Kettle you just draw a giant TV. ml if that gets any bigger you can just draw an ink blot.

Rush’s detention is a real zinger. Last night, Olbermann gleefully described him as a “comedian”, which I guess is another way to say entertainer, which he is.

Do you neocons ever like to focus on the task at hand rather than bringing up last weeks news. Since we are talking about past issues, let’s talk about you Dummy in Chief relying on incorrect information to use as just cause for a senseless war. Or let’s talk about how he still has no war strategy that is a little more current of an event, and the fact that the Iraqi people want the US to leave. Is it some sort of Neocon code of honor that you guys never admit when you are wrong or caught in a lie. Is that one of the commandments that you guys found in on the lost sea scrolls?

gadem, do you enjoy lumping all people you don’t agree with into one group? Everyone in the world swore the same incorrect information was correct. His war strategy is to provide security for the Iraqi government until they can secure themselves. It is working. Troop levels are continuing to be reduced and real progress is being made in Iraq. Malaki seems like a guy that has taken the problem by the neck and is offering real solutions to their situation. The Murtha-Kerry group has no plan. They don’t care what happens in Iraq after we leave. They just want to take the opportunity to use this for political positioning. Did you hear Murtha’s answere on where to redeploy the troops to? It would be laughable if is wasn’t so sad. How about we get away from the tired rhetoric and actually discuss the issues.

More and more information is being declassified that show Iraq/Al Qaeda connections and weapons that have been found, but not made public. So no lie and how is claiming that happened in the past forward looking anyway?
As General Casey has said, there is a plan and it’s working to the point that areas are being pinpointed that we can turn over in full. Before long we will be leaving with honor and leaving behind a shining example for the rest of the Middle East.

Of course the “fluffy” (politically correct term for “fat”) lady on the sofa is upset. She’s the one holding the remote. Her Republican husband has to get up to bring about a change in the stations and he’s in good shape.
Tim Taylor(D) will lose from a “remote” (removed from the interests of the Georgia Voters) control position. Kinda like Democrats in D.C..

It certainly doesn’t rise to the level of using a cartoon called Pot to Kettle to say that United States is exactly the same as Al Qaeda, which is what you so happily give ml a pass for. Why do you hate your country so much?

Luckovich wandered over into “aid and comfort for the enemy” with his great yearning for fame. We didn’t like that. Even some liberals didn’t like that. Your complaints don’t erase the ignominious “Pot to Kettle” as Luckovich joins the ranks of Fonda and other betrayers of this country.

The precursor footprint of these chemical weapons is very easily traceable. Since France and Russia are very likely sources, it could cause huge international problems to trumpet that even though it could help President Bush in the short run. This is why the Bush administration fights to keep these things classified even though he could selfishly release it.
You should be thankful that you have a President that is more interested in doing the right thing and trying to balance the need for our allies against that of causing great harm to the world for his own personal poll ratings.
President Bush has always said that his Presidency will be judged by historians long after we’re gone and he is absolutely correct about that. I thank God everyday that we are no longer being run by a poll driven egomaniac.

Good toon ML. I wonder if America will ever see another day when political campaigning will be free of attack ads and swiftboating.
This blog had its’ own introduction to the later with MLs cartoon “Pot to Kettle”. It is encouraging to note that obviously, the far-right radicals are few in number and must spread their efforts over many venues; hence, their appearance for only a day. I doubt, afterall, that they all suffer from attention deficit disorder.
Nice link to Limbaughs latest “problem”, Buff. It is telling that the man has again demonstrated an inability to adhere to the laws regarding prescription drugs. Disregard for law and societies norms are a classic indicator of an addictive personality disorder.
When such personalities are denied their “drug of choice” (in Limbaughs case “Oxycontin”), it has been my professional experience that they will invariably revert to other addictive personality traits such as over-eating, satyrism (male sexual addiction), over-work, thrill-seeking, etc.
The only “treatment” having even partial measures of success for such profound personality disorders is conversion of a religious nature via “12-step methods” employed by Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Over-Eaters Anonymous, etc. Even though the manifestations of the personality disorder (which is the root cause of the expressed self-destructive acts) are wildly varied, the treatment is virtually identical for all.
Sadly for Limbaugh, the key to success in 12-Step treatment is humility. The first step in these programs is to have the humility to accept the fact that one has a deep-seated personality disorder that they alone can not control.
On those occasions that I have heard Limbaugh, he doesn’t appear to have an excess of humility, so I fear that he has little hope of success. Most often, these patients must pursue their addictive personality traits to oblivion (what addicts call their “bottom”). His apologists serve him quite poorly by enabling his self-destruction.
We should feel very sorry for Limbaugh. His is a solitary, wretched existence that none of us would wish on our very worst enemy, regardless of their political affiliation.

I do remember a certain sec def going over and meeting saddam prior to chemical weapons being used in the iran-iraq war though. but maybe you are right, they don’t want to embarass france by showing who made those weapons.

What we really have on this blog is a person afflicted with multiple-personality disorder.
First we have RW (Real Wanker). He tries to takes the high road on moral and intellectual issues, but invariably his Andy side rears its head. It is possible to converse with him civilly on most occasions.
Andy (The Bed Wetter), also has numerous other sobriquets. He/she tells lies, makes baseless accusations and cuts-and-pastes as a form of masturbation. It is this persona most likely to go postal. A once active member of the KKK, he barely escaped with his &%#@’s when they discovered that he liked to )@8& with his neighbor’s $@&^’s.
Buy Danish - The feminine persona of this trilogy, she adores RW as a teacher and father-figure, but loves Andy (in the biblical sense). What she lacks in intellect she more than makes up for in her attempt to be more shallow than Ann Coulter.
By blogging using all three personalities, the individual behind this facade is able to draw three paychecks from a neo-conservative non-profit, swift-boat-like shadow organization dedicated to the silent overthrow of these United States.

Iraq’s army was primarily armed with weaponry it had purchased from the Soviet Union and its satellites in the preceding decade. During the war, it purchased billions of dollars worth of advanced equipment from the Soviets and the French [6], as well as from the People’s Republic of China, Egypt, Germany, and other sources (including Europe and facilities for making and/or enhancing chemical weapons). Germany [7] along with other Western countries (among them United Kingdom, France, Spain (Explosivos Alaveses), Italy and the United States) provided Iraq with biological and chemical weapons technology and the precursors to nuclear capabilities (see below). Much of Iraq’s financial backing came from other Arab states, notably oil-rich Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

I think everyone on this blog can agree on this: SOMEDAY all American troops will be withdrawn from Iraq.
I further suggest that all posters on this blog agree that the war on terror will never be completely over. There will always be terrorists somewhere.
Now then, when all American soldiers are back from Iraq, will there still be a bunch of people repeating the following: “We are fighting them over there so that we don’t have to fight them here.”? But then we won’t be fighting them “over there”.
But then again, by that time we will probably be fighting them in Iran, or North Korea, or Pakistan, or Syria, or all of the above.
My point is that fighting is not ALWAYS the answer (unless you are a graduate of the Rand Institute of International Studies).
We fought the Italians, Japanese, and Germans until they were defeated…now we trade with them. They are our allies.
We fought the North Koreans to a standstill …now where are we?
We fought the Chinese (in North Korea), now we have a larger trade deficit with them than with any other country in the world.
We fought the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong insurgents until we had to give up, now we are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in their country and moving toward granting them greater trading rights with the U.S.
Fight and win…fight and lose…perhaps we need to try harder to seek other solutions. Perhaps we would spend less money…perhaps we would lose fewer soldiers…perhaps we will just keep on killing one another…..

I was looking for an answer to why Iraq/Al Qaeda connections and weapons had been found and “declassified”, but not “made public” by the White House, since these connections would support their rationale for war. And I’m still wondering.
Instead, you mentioned the French, Soviet (Russian) etc. links to Iraq’s weapons and WMDs. And you suggested President Bush is staying mum for diplomatic and strategic reasons about these links. Off topic, but credible.
But since you brought it up…
The US, as much as anyone, helped Saddam create those WMDs, including the ones used to kill Kurds and Iranians.

No doubt your editors would be quick to respond if one of your employees had denigrated African-Americans in print by using the “N” word or referred to the gay community in disparaging terms. Luckovich’s cartoon equating the U.S. Government with the evil actions of Al Qaida is no less offensive. I am calling on the editors of the AJC to take action.

I think this qualifies Rush Limbaugh as a hater and a hypocrite…although everyone already knew he was a hypocrit. Rush avoided the draft during Viet Nam because he has a congenital wart on his butt. (BTW: Paul Hackett was running for office as a Democrat):
RUSH: [Hackett] was in the Civilian Affairs Unit, and this is a Washington Post story (it says here) from July 30th. “A lawyer and a major in the Marine reserves, Hackett volunteered last year to serve in Iraq and spent seven months there in the civilian affairs job, including service around Ramadi and Fallujah. He returned to Ohio in March, decided to jump into the race for Portman’s seat, seeking to become the first Iraq war veteran elected to Congress.” So he volunteered to serve, spent seven months in a civilian affairs job. What is that, since you’re — did you say you’re a Marine? CALLER: I’m in the Navy, sir, Navy lieutenant. RUSH: Navy. What is a civilian affairs job? You tell me. CALLER: Civilian affairs is just basically a public affairs job where they interact with the civilian authorities from a military perspective. It’s a military liaison, if you will. RUSH: Oh, it’s a military liaison. Is it a combat position or not? CALLER: Negative. It is not a combat position. … RUSH: Okay, call him a staff puke if that’s what you want, but civilian affairs, staff puke. Bottom line is he’s running a fraudulent, deceptive campaign, and the Democrats are saying this is a bellwether election.

By true patriot June 27, 2006 04:29 PM Since you have no concept of innocent until proven guilty, much less due process, why not cut to the chase and say you want to be the big banana!
You mean like you “true pinkos” did for our Marines at Haditha?

Let me step in here, N-Ga, Bush has not been charged with violating American’s civil liberties. And, why haven’t the Democrats offered up legislation on that issue? As for health care, gee, what did Billy do. The economy is great, and if you are poor in this country it is your own fault. Education, as a professional educator, I point to the big ed lobby, NEA, that controls the Democratic Party as a big part of the problem. Imigration, yeah, Bush is wrong on that one. And, I stronlgy suggest you NOT meet up with Cliff

Cliff,
I met your kind when I was a GI…an ignorant REMF who crapped every time he heard a loud noise. Were you at My Lai, or did you manage to cover up all your boo-boos?
I guess people like you really love to hang around guys like Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney, AWOL Bush, Saxby Chambliss, and all the other guys who managed to avoided any real service. Me, I’ll stick with Max Cleland, John Kerry, John McCain and the rest of my veteran brothers who don’t spit on one another, no matter what their politics.

True Patriot,
UBL is in Afghanistan somewhere and ^^^^^ there Goldie said history shows us it is stupid to fight in Afghanistan.
I wonder how many of the right-wingnuts here remember the fate of the Soviet Union after they overstayed their welcome in Afghanistan in the 80’s? They went broke, financially and militarily — but who needs d@mn history lessons when America has Bush/Cheney and Rumsfeld at the helm and leading the way?
I actually agree with her on that one.
What prevents us from [calling] a general alert is that the country has no mountains in which we can take refuge and no forests in whose thickets we can hide…
There is no doubt that the space in which we can move has begun to shrink and that the grip around the throats of the mujahidin has begun to tighten. With the deployment of soldiers and police, the future has become frightening.
Any more questions, you patriot?

I read this blog and become very angry.
This is the dirtiest, prejudiced, unAmerican,politicized, mindless, psychotic blog I have ever read. It should be called Mad Dog Liberals on the Loose.
The military are pictured as the equal of crazed torturers. The President is drawn and pictured as a blubbering moron as he leads the country through difficult times. Various professionals are ridiculed for their jobs. Patriotic citizens are blasted as brainless. Lies are as common as house flies. Concocted accusations against conservatives are drawn up for any occasion.
This blog has become the liberal garbage can of accusations and anti-American behavior. I am ashamed for our country.
We should be very sad that we have citizens of this calibre. Luckovich has opened the lid on the garbage can. He belongs inside with the rest of the muckrakers. The country is being undermined.
Don’t let your children read this junk. The language is filthy and the hate for country flows freely. Let your children grow, realizing in maturity, that we live in the greatest country in the world, not the scumbags’ version presented by these twisted brains.

Buff,
Arlen Spector (Republican) is holding hearings as we speak concerning Bush and civil liberties. As far as Bill and health care, its hard to do anything when the other party controls congress. Look at Bush…his party has controlled congress since 198…what? And he still hasn’t fixef Social Security, Medicare, or our oil/energy problem. All we hear are excuses, but the Republicans haven’t delivered.
Having taught graduate school, I believe the problems are not the NEA’s. The vast majority of school systems are managed locally with help from the state and with oversight from the federal government. Certainly there are school districts that excel and others that fail miserably. It would seem relatively straightforward to determine what makes some successful and others pathetically lacking.

You can’t keep asking Democrats what their grand plan was or is. Their only response will be “We wanna suck. It’s our turn dammit, someone stole our opportunity in 2004. We coulda sucked reaaalllly bad. Better than Bush”. Only in their dreams Buff, only in their dreams.

There is plenty of outrage on this blog to go around. But I have not seen much said about the Iraq plan to grant amnesty to those Iraqis who have killed and maimed coalition troops. Is this going to be the end result of a failed policy? When its all said and done, what will it all have been for?
That’s what I have asked myself since 1975. What did my friends die for? I’m sure Max Cleland and millions of others as the same question. And there has never been a satisfactory answer. And there never will be. After more than 30 years the anger is still there. And don’t blame just the Democrats. If you’ve been to The Wall, you will see the first death was 1959.
Either party could have ended the bloodshed, but they didn’t. And I’ve been an Independent ever since. And I don’t condone Saxby Chambliss airing commercials saying that Max Cleland is soft on terror. He has apologized for that (after the election), but Chambliss took all the deferments he could get until the war was over. Meanwhile he became a millionaire.
So I support our troops…spend the money and give them armor and anything else they need. But I refuse to support the person who sent them there.

It is obvious you have never stared into the face of something truly evil. When you do, then and only then will you understand that moral equivalence is a myth. It is a concept for the naive. You are not to be criticized. You are to be pitied. When people like those who butchered defenseless prisoners in their care take control, people like you are among the first to die. Free speech has no meaning to them.

N-Ga, Cliff can speak for himself, but, he is gone for a bit, but you do not make Sergeant Major of the Screaming Eagles by being a REMF. He was decorated with the Silver Star at Hamburger Hill and the Bronze Star at Firebase Ripcord. He was in the first Iraqi War, and did one tour in 2003 back over there before retiring. And, he has more Purple Hearts than John Kerry

Rush may have his a$$ in a sling, but he was funny today. He began his show by wondering how Bob Dole’s luggage got on his plane, then said his doctor musinderstood him when he said he was worried about the next “eLection.” Later he said he thought they were blue M&Ms from the Bill Clinton Library.

N-Ga, you mention Viet Nam. I read General Giap’s bio of the war and he said that the North could never have won without the left and the media in America. I wonder, is the same thing happening again? I truly believe that there are some in this country who want us to lose in Iraq, just as they did in the Nam

N-GA: The problem Neo-Cons have is that they erroneously think that they control the entire Republican party. They have no idea that many mostly Republican voters (me) and independents are equally disgusted with the Bush administration’s many mis-steps, gargantuan spending, and big government.
They delusionally think that the majority of criticism of the Bush Whitehouse comes from Democrats. While I will probably vote Democrat in Nov and 2008, I certainly do not embrace much of their ideology. I now view them simply as the lesser of two evils. In my opinion, no third party has a chance at this time.
Neo-Cons do not even know who their enemies really are; they are the Republican, Independent, and Democratic parties. This kind of leaves them out in the cold without a sweater. Do you blame them for being so rabidly angry and taking out their frustrations on Democrats alone?

Buff: I tink NeoCon is a sound bite that there is no standardized definition of. I use it to refer to the extreme right segment adopted by the Republican party that has no ability to compromise and run an effective governing body politic.
I’m sure that you can see that this is not a group that I would place Gringrich within. Newt is certainly outspoken and well-spoken but it was his leadership that allowed the Republican party to work in some accordance with the Clinton administration in an often non-partisan relationship.
I feel that the checks and balances that each placed on the other was largely responsible for the prosperity that existed during Clinton’s tenure. Big government was effectively ham-strung and it showed.

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), no Bush administration-toadie he, said it best: “Nobody elected The New York Times to do anything. The New York Times is putting its own arrogant, elitist, left-wing agenda before the interests of the American people. The time has come for the American people to realize and The New York Times to realize we’re at war and they can’t be just on their own deciding what to declassify, what to release.”-BostonHerald

By No to Big Bush Government:
I am conservative when it comes to spending taxpayer $$, states’ rights, defending the USA, and smaller government.
I am liberal when it comes to helping those who genuinely need help, paying taxes to match any government spending, privacy, and staying out of the business of other countries.
A truthful analysis of the causes of 9/11 point to American policy in the Middle East. I DO NOT condone the terrorists’ actions of 9/11, but I do understand why they did it.
America wants cheap oil, wants to support Israel (no matter what they do), is willing to marginalize the Palestinians even though the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights has been denounced by virtually every country but the US and Britain, and supported Middle east governments that were corrupt in order to achieve stability in the area (to guarantee a continuous supply of oil)…if the US (either political party) had pushed Israel to return the occupied territories, then 9/11 might not have happened.
If another super power tried to force another form of government on American citizens, what kind of reaction could they expect? I expect the reaction would be violent. There was a movie where Russia defeated and occupied the USA. Some young Americans fought as partisans (without uniforms) and used whatever weapons they could. Few neo-con supporters ever try to put themselves positions that allow them to understand the perspective of others. But I am sure you can imagine how they would react to being occupied….nuff said.

The MRC found that between May 17 and June 7 ABC, CBS and NBC aired 99 stories on the alleged military misconduct — a full three and half hours of coverage in three weeks. But when it came to covering the heroism of our soldiers, these same networks gave that story only 52 minutes of coverage - 52 minutes in almost five years. Fourteen of the 20 Americans who received the highest recognition for bravery in the war on terror weren’t mentioned by the networks at all.-HumanEvents

Dusty— you need to look long and hard in the mirror before you start slinging your slime, because you’ve definitely contributed your share of “prejudiced, unAmerican” and “psychotic” rants here on the blog the past few weeks. And this was happening way before Lucko’s cartoon of June 22 was printed, so you certainly can’t blame him for all of your hatred that you’ve posted for Americans here day after day.

Midori,
I found this ^^from you at precisely the appropriate thread, namely ML’s “take” on the nationwide brouhaha over Book on Torture, formerly known as Pot to Kettle.
Now I’m intentionally posting this at the “wrong” thread, just to irritate you.
And speaking of Pot to Kettle, what do you call it when you post an outraged post about absolutely nothing?
N-GA,
Are you writing some sort of novel or screenplay with characters based on RW, Andy and myself?
Knock yourself out, but please remember that what you are writing is pure fiction. I wouldn’t want you to get spurned by Oprah like James Frey for deceiving your audience into thinking that it is a true story.
You can thank me later for my generous and kind advice.

You know that the size of the “Big Man” is the elephant in the room that no one will talk about. I think it’s a pretty good play on words, but too—he is a good representative of the obese society that surrounds all of us and is increasingly growing! He should win on BIG votes alone.
