Lard needs some visitors today.

Dammit, Craig, I ordered mine months ago.

CBob..... happy birthday to you..... you're the 4th friend that's turned that zero this year.... I have 5 more yrs to go....

gee... I wonder what Imus really thinks about David Gregory..... ROFL!

CB, I'm chasing you down - and I'm 3 years ahead fo Renee. Have a good one buddy, and whatever you do to celebrate, do it to excess. ;-)

Looks like things may be looking up for Obama's view on healthcare reform. Olympia Snowe breaks her silence.

I see a changing trend in the Media that is actually question of Mr Obama. Craig leading the way

In the VA governor's race - Deeds is gaining ground thanks to McDonnell's words to live by.

Well, I gotta go to a board meeting - yahoo.

So many thoughts Craig on target.

Jews that voted for Obama might be turning red too. One day the WH issues a strategy paper on reassuring Israel and trying to box in Iran and five days later Obama advisor Brezinski adds this:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8267189.stm

So there is a real debate where the hell Obama is going on many fronts from Afghanistan to South America but the debate and even coverage is often stifled by Liberals waving the "You're a Warmonger" card. In fact, these days the subject of self-defense (and defending serious national self-interest) is not unlike the racism game. War monger, like racist can be used to silence political debates and disrupt urgent focus on real dangers, threats and mistakes..

I am glad that some reputable people like yourself are not afraid to distinguish between the genuine and manipulated in such hot button issues such as race and try to call them like you really see them, no matter the PC.

Ping, I hope so - I only wish they had found their voice about 8 years ago.

Trail Mixers: what are your news sources? (This should be interesting.)

I go to Yahoo for news & Huffingtonpost for politics. I also watch Olbermann every PM.

Posted by: Nash2.0 Author Profile Page | September 21, 2009 9:49 AM

My news sources: Imus in the morning......CQCrawfordlist.....Local paper, NYTimes on line.....bank shots of Huffington, Daily Beast, Crooksandliars......Olberman and Rachel Maddow for their perspectives on what's news..................Matthews, Daily Show, and Colbert on occasions......
*************************************************************

This I just want to read again.....

In Obama's defense, Imus said the President was goaded into saying that by "that Howdy Doody-looking, gutless, sniveling, wretched, pigeon gut-sucking coward" David Gregory.

alternate news sources: most posts by Cbob and KGC.....

I mean......being a coward is one thing.......but to suck on pigeon guts? That shit ain't right.......

Sturgeone

Imus could give Arabs damning lessons. "May the fleas of a thousand camels feast on your hide" just doesn't compare to sucking pigeon guts.

Happy birthday Cbob! I hope you're having a great one, will toast to you, your health and happiness at supper tonight with the clan.

Dang it, wished I hadn't missed Craig's appearance on Imus.

(for Craig's next thread not found)

Okay, here’s the Afghanistan political chronology:

“Afghanistan is the central front on the war of terror”.

Comments by Obama telegraphing bombing Pakistan.

Obama’s Summer of 2008 paper highlights bringing the battle to Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Obama launches a surge and then appoints McChrystal to take charge and recalibrate “success” in Afghanistan after the surge flounders.

McChrystal requests more troops.

Obama is silent as Democratic opposition of Afghanistan increases.

And this today:
http://www.rr.com/news/topic/article/rr/9000/8980625/Sources_US_eyes_more_drone_hits_on_terror_havens

Why has this been released after the importance Obama has placed in the yet to be released McCrystal report? The record of internal hit jobs is astounding. And this release launches into a series of new debates as did the last minute change in missile defense policy. That as well as this suggestion for drones, brings up serious questions about intelligence and negotiating positions. And what debate are we having about all of this? And this behavior is not limited to Afghanistan.

One day Obama goes on a full court press explaining the shift on missile defense and signals a new red line on Iran with advanced collaboration on missile defense with Israel. Obama orders super bunker busters.

Then just today on the eve of talks with Abbas and Netanyahu, Brezinski suggests the US should openly declare the US will shoot down an Israel pre-emptive strike on Iran bringing up the USS Liberty incident.

This is complete loss of spin from the Left in the last week with Carter himself helping to divert message towards race is damaging. It is a critical cross road and Liberals are at cross purposes mixing up the message to the point of chaos.

In the meantime, Pakistan who undoubtedly reads these AP stories, stops short of terminating the Taliban and releases AQ Khan. While government soldiers have battled the Taliban, they are far from victory and even admit the Taliban will continue to “serve in the national interest of Pakistan” no matter what the US , Israel or India thinks.

The “moderate” government warns that more US strikes or micromanagement of aid and money will damage relationship. So some press Obama to bomb his way out of Afghanistan. What will happen having been wrong already about what ability the new moderate government would do in office? We see a wandering US foreign strategy with confusing signals to all. Iran in the administration spin has little linkage with the Palestinian Israeli issue, yet drones will secure Afghanistan by hitting Pakistan..

Who makes this stuff up? It certainly doesn’t sound like Hillary. The missile defense switch seems like her, though the entire opera hinges on a credibility that has thus been lacking. Hillary would have openly declared sending US technical crews to the Negev.

So let’s bomb our way out of Afghanistan by hitting Pakistan?

And thus confused uncertainty may in itself mismanage a war into defeat, a war that Democrats claimed Bush was merely losing. The central front on the war of terror.

Speaking of REAL death panels. The quadraplegic Australian man who won the his case to be allowed to refuse all treatment including food and water, died in a hospice today from a chest infection.

It is a landmark case for caregivers because if accepted as precedent they no longer have to fear prosecution for following a patient's instructions to do nothing.

I watch Stewart and Colbert, but news sources? Okay Nash....Okay, I list South Park as a news source as well as the weather channel.

Isn't it interesting Obama has now told two black politicians to drop out? First Buress who didn't listen and today one of two black Governors gets the thumbs down too. Maybe next he will tell Duval not to run again. Seems they are similar cases, yes?

Max,

Did you have to go and remind me of the scary possibilities rather than the humorous improbabilities.

I like the folks who speak to imaginary friends rather than the nutcases who speak to real ones.

Great quotes. Politicains being against pork is like someone who is vegetarian between meals.

Well just two sides of the same lunacy. One is particularly dangerous and the other a comic relief.

With the Rapturees gone, Jews would be hording all the loose cash while atheists would be having orgies in the street. Maybe rapture isn't such a bad thing.......

The probabilities concerning a convergence of all known criminal behavior including the video tapes still defy random imperfection.

I rather doubt that that Obama was unaware that his campaign's Get OUt the Vote purchase of ACORN's election help equalled the amount the IRS was going after.

There is certainly the case of administration officials asking NEA grant recipients or expectant recipients to create some advertizing for Democrats. It seems like Quid Pro Quo.

I do note scientists now have confirmed a news story I posted more than a year ago. We are entering a slight cooling period not fully understood. This may last several years. There is still the expectation warming factors will eventually return.

There are other time bombs needing mitigation and debate like dams, irrigation, crop choices, waste and resource management, particulate pollution, oceanic pollution, etc. which critically impact our ecosystem. Don't expect any moderating pauses like we see with our climate to slow things from getting worse..

Bob, I'm curious. Out of the tens of thousands of corporations across the US, what percentage do you think are engaged in criminal behavior?

What percentage of CEOs are involved in corruption? What percentage of Republicans and Democrats both State and Federal are involved in such criminality? Sounds like your definition of corporations implies some criminality. As far as profit, shareholders make that too.

Bonus questions: You think Czars are paid? What do you think they make? $100,000?

Okay, far too many questions for you....

Anyone else concerned that the military leak of McChrystal's report on Afghanistan speaking to multiple FAILURES if the president doesn't follow his recommendations AND the right-wing cries of foreign policy FAILURES is a marriage waiting in the breach? Right-wingers want their country back; how far will they go to "get it back"? Seven Days in May (Octogber) in the making? I know I'm concerned. Afterall, the military and the right-wing in this country have the guns -- the rest of us don't! Alarmist? I hope I am -- and that it's a false alarm! Sound the alarms!

Max, Weren't you the one going all A-S over the video of the Calif. ACORN workers. Now it looks like they did the right thing; informed the incident to the police. What say you?
Another one of your stereotypes bites the dust.

Craig- thank you so much for that! Did Imus show any interest?
I've been beyond discouraged these last few weeks. Major Garrett was going to come to the house and cover it , then Ted died. CBS was going to contact me too, then Ted died. Channel 7 out of Boston too. The wonderful Tristan Takos, the special aide from Kennedy's office isn't allowed to work on it anymore and I called Kerrry's counterpart and he never called me back. My last ray of hope- I still have the billboard sized sign on my house though, hoping the wedding will be rescheduled soon;-).

Sturge- Did you catch Craig on Imus and could you please give me a recap regarding the 94th?

ms. O' Sea......I caught the broadcast but don't recall the part of it about the 94th except I do remember cc bringing it up.. .....sorry......
