DUmmie FUnnies 08-30-05 ("Hurricane Katrina proves that Bush must be IMPEACHED, and NOW")

The DUmmies NEVER fail to entertain. In their last Katrina thread, the DUmmies were defending the looters. Now they have gone completely OFF THE WALL with this self-explanatory THREAD titled, "Hurricane Katrina proves that Bush must be IMPEACHED, and NOW." Yes, I can just picture the impeachment proceedings. The same Democrats who loudly proclaimed that perjury is NOT grounds for impeachment will now put forth the proposition that failure to prevent a hurricane is an impeachable offense. Therefore, in the future, every president who happens to be an EVIL Republican will fear the appearance of tropical depressions in the Atlantic since some of them grow into hurricanes thus providing grounds for their impeachment. So let us analzye the Mental Front blowing out of DUmmieland in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who sat out Impeachable Offense Katrina, sipping white rum, is in the [brackets]:

Hurricane Katrina proves that Bush must be IMPEACHED, and NOW

[Bring on Barney Frank to make the case for impeachment! He's an expert on blowing winds.]

Just watch the FReepers howl: "Do the DUmmies think Bush can prevent hurricanes? Will they claim he LIHOP'ed Katrina like they claim he LIHOP'ed 9/11?"

[No. The Freepers will claim that Bush MIHOPed Katrina and watched the Storm Coverage at the local IHOP.]

No President can prevent a hurricane, but a competent President can prepare for the inevitable so that, when a natural disaster occurs, he can direct government relief agencies to respond accordingly. George W. Bush has proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he is unfit to sit in the Oval Office.

[Bush should have sent relief trucks filled with food into the path of Katrina so all the chow could have been ruined by the flood waters.]

Because he is so obsessed with plundering Iraq on the behalf of Halliburton, Monsanto, and all the rest, the National Guardsmen who would have been on hand to help their fellow Louisianians are located half a globe away. So is their high-water equipment, which would be better served in the streets of New Orleans than in the damaged marshes of southern Iraq.

[Funny. I thought that the problem with the marshes in Iraq is that they LACK water due to drainage by Saddam to punish the Marsh Arabs. Of course, only EVIL Republicans purposely destroy the environment so perhaps there is some other explanation.]

Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi are hurting. Badly. And where is Bush now that the red states need him?

[Bush is having a grand time golfing with his Halliburton and Exxon buddies...at least in DUmmie Mythology.]


See? Thought so. Impeach this Coca-Cola cowboy now.

[The impeachment proceedings will take place at the DUmmie Sanitarium. And now let us hear the other DUmmies chime in on the heels of the comedy act of DUmmie derby378.]

In total agreement, derby. In fact,
I was all for this action years ago!

[A soothsayer predicted the arrival of Katrina in 2003. Grounds for impeachment a couple of years ago.]

Puts the "War on Terror" in prospective, doesn't it?
While we are chasing non-existant boogeymen in the ME (fattening the profits of the War Profiteers and Big Oil), we are in a much weaker position to deal with the true Terror - a natural disaster like Katrina. When will the idiots wake up and see this? A single storm of Katrina's size is more destruction by several orders of magnitude than a band of terrorists could ever hope to wreck on this country. If this doesn't underscore the conceptual ridiculousness of the WOT, nothing will.

[I'm surprised we don't greet Al Qaeda terrorists with comfy mats upon their arrival in the USA.]

He was golfing as Katrina was touching down...
is this compassionate conservativism?? Attempting to make par while New Orleans floods??

[Or maybe, given the path of Katrina, he was only gulfing.]

Golfing, eating cake, strumming a guitar.
I guess he was having fun on vacation.

[Playing Scrabble, whistling, web surfing, munching on Famous Amos, and performing a sacred Hopi Indian chant.]

That's the thing
I, as just an unknown person out there, have been glued to the coverage and worried about those people out there. I can barely even get away from it for a few hours, so it's unfathomable to believe the president can just give it a 5 minute spot and 'go on with his life'. Sickening.

[It appears to me that rather than being glued to the coverage, you became UNGLUED years ago.]

For GOD'S SAKE! The hurricane hit RED STATES. I wonder how the Bush voters in them feel about his indifference?

[Bush personally didn't canoe to the flooded homes in the middle of the storm. RECKLESS INDIFFERENCE!!!]

All LIHOP/MIHOP all the time. He must stand trial in the Hague.

[All MENTAL/INSANE all the time.]

The nation is sick, diseased. It's leader is sick, diseased, and so the nation has become sickened and diseased. Sickened by denial of fundamental reality; strangled by secrecy and mass dysfunction on every level. The massacre of its environment, resources, it's very fundamental unity. Because the leader is sickened, diseased, the soul of the nation is sickened and diseased, starved by lies and dying because of a lost war a world away that is based on lies.
The nation has become sickened, diseased.

[Thus spaketh a sickened, diseased mind.]

He COULD have prevented the hurricane
Not all hurricanes, of course, but at least some of them... and lessened the impact of those that did happen. Much of the action that occurs in the Atlantic during hurricane season is Bush's fault. If he'd paid attention to the environment at all, there would be about 50% less hurricane activity in the Atlantic. And if he paid more attention to the Gulf Coast, New Orleans wouldn't be sinking at the rate of 3 feet a century. If Bush had any ability to lead in his head, he'd have had New Orleans shored up long ago.

[If Al Gore were president, he could have prevented Hurricane Katrina.]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-29-05 (DUmmies POLITICIZE Hurricane Katrina)

Please forgive me, DUmmies. I figured that even you folks wouldn't politicize Hurricane Katrina. Well, apparently I underestimated you as can be seen in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Looters." It turns out that the DUmmies are ANGRY at the National Guard for keeping people from looting. The DUmmie author of this thread presents that the absurd case that people loot mainly for food. Um, no. Sorry DUmmie but looters are opportunists that will mostly loot high ticket items like electronic equipment, jewelry, etc.. Food is actually rather LOW on their loot list. Why? Because emergency shelters and relief organizations will give food FREE to people in hurricane disaster areas. However, let us now watch as the DUmmies, namely undergroundpanther turn this whole issue of preventing looting into a politicized class warfare scenario. As usual, the waterlogged DUmmie postings are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who survived Hurricane Katrina when it was merely in a Category One stage is in the [brackets]:

Looters

[Uh-Oh. Stand by for Class Warfare Idiocy based on Hurricane Katrina care of the DUmmies.]

The fact the national guard is keeping people from FOOD shows we are NOT living in a democracy,the Rich people's THINGS must be protected from starving people!!Remember the french revolution,the rich make sure the lower class suffers and is desperate,the middle class is scared of poor people,the soldiers are bribed obedient and loyal,. That is how they say rich and on our backs.Fuck all the corporate pigs. F*cking assholes!Disaster shows us the true use of our military is to PROTECT PROPERTY of corporations above human life, to keep the rich secure people DIE.

[SNIFF! Looters have RIGHTS too! Damn the National Guard people for keeping them from exercising their sacred right to loot.]

I say Eat the rich people if they will not let you get food.Roast them on a spit and share the bounty.They have been fed on the finest organic foods.*sarcasm*

[DUmmie undergroundpanther, I believe you have a dinner date with Hannibal Lecter.]

Damn I am pissed. Let the people EAT..What happened soldier to defending life? Life comes before property IF you are not a sociopath scum bag.Don't obey wealthy scumbags posing as"leaders".Sheesh.

[You want the people to EAT? Then just show up at an emergency shelter. If not, relief food will be arriving on trucks. Somehow I don't think the search for carbs is the big issue with looters. It's more like the search for cash. But now that you presented some great comedy material, DUmmie undergroundpanter, let us read more of your laugh DUmmie undergroundpanther.]

Most of us live...
...two weeks from cannibalism. Looting for food is trivial in comparison.I'd agree that it's a little soon for that, but if the Nat'l Guard isn't in there feeding everyone very soon, rest assured that the people will "find" food themselves.

[If it was a choice between dining on Helen Thomas and starvation, I would definitely opt for the latter option.]

And A few hot plasma TV's
Sold at a pawn shop ,could make for a couple months of prepaid existance..like food and rent an security deposit while you move out and look for work in a new place swarming with other refugees also looking for work while out of town.And in this shitty republican economy getting work is not so easy now..Didya ever consider THAT might be a reason for stealing plasma TV's?

[Would that be the same reason as stealing a Bose Wave Radio?]

Theft
Is humane if it is the only thing you can do to get the formula you need to feed a child.

[The only reason why the looters take the plasma TVs is because they are blocking the baby formula.]

F*ck the wealthy's property..Look if I can't find a way to survive in coming weeks of the aftermath without taking it.. I'll take..Welfare checks will not be coming on time dude. Have you ever been desperate or not?With that haughty tone,I guess you have never been desperate and dreading the future with no way out of a dire situation before.

[Things could be worse, DUmmie undergroundpanther. Perhaps your parent's basement will be flooded out, thus preventing you from posting your comedy material on the Web.]

This is looting for greed, not survival. It's BS and it should be stopped by any force required. These people are making a bad situation FAR worse.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

If I had a baby
and I was on welfare and my house was gone,and the mail was not going to be running for a long time,damn straight I'd take food for me and my kid,diapers,and some more to give to others,I'd take stuff to make a shelter with,garbage bags utensils,blankets,a radio( for news) and something dry to sleep on, a crib maybe,flashlights,candles,lighters,fuel, batteries,water and ice,medicine..fresh clothes,sunscreen(all the trees are gone) tampons birth control pills,oh and I would take money and valuables because you can buy shit or trade for you need from others with it once the stores are guarded.Because the checks would be delayed,a glitch in the comptuer system can delay welfare checks for months, So a ruined SS building could delay it much longer.People with no money need to survive somehow. Don't get haughty and moralistic here.Things change in the way you think about"property" and the woes of rich folks losses.. when you need to survive.

[Don't forget about looting that all-important plasma TV, DUmmie undergroundpanther. It is CRUCIAL for survival.]

The humane thing to do would be to make sure the people ALL OF THEM have access to food, shelter,a place to sleep, baby care items,medicine and water/ice first.GIVE IT AWAY,Let People take it.Let go of the game of ownership and class because it is hindering people 's survival..

[How's this for a humane thing to do, DUmmie undergroundpanther? I find your parent's basement and I steal their plasma TV.]

DUmmie F

DUmmie FUnnies 08-24-05 (DUmmies STILL Obsessed By Karl Rove)

Lost in all the hullabaloo over Cindy Sheehan, is the fact of the continuing DUmmie obsession with Karl Rove. If anybody has noticed, almost all Rove threads have disappeared in favor of the Crawford Ditch Melodrama in which Cindy Sheehan, unbeknownst to the Democrats is in the process of causing them permanent damage due to her political radioactivity as noted by Rush Limbaugh today. As a reminder of how Karl Rove complete possesses the minds of the DUmmies, we have this THREAD titled, "A plea to STOP this 'We can't sink to Rove's level' BULLSHIT." The level in which Karl Rove has possessed the narrow DUmmie minds is quite hilarious. Oh, and I predict that when the Cindy Sheehan thing completely backfires on the Democrats, the DUmmies will claim that she was a secret Rovian Agent. Yes, Karl Rove dug up complete crackpot to be the new rallying leader for the Democrats and is now in the process of gleefully gloating over how the radioactive Cindy is poisoning the opposition. All is going according to the Rove Plan. So now let us view the DUmmie Karl Rove obsession in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching as they enter a Perfect Rovian Storm, is in the [brackets]:

A plea to STOP this "We can't sink to Rove's level" BULLSHIT.

[Wierd! This is actually a version of PRAISE from the DUmmies. They actually want to emulate Rove. Of course, this is the beauty of the Rove Strategy. He has the DUmmies so CONFUSED that they don't even KNOW what the Rove Strategy really is.]

I was HERE during the 2004 election.
RIGHT HERE, on DU.I REMEMBER how threads questioning John Kerry's campaign were greeted:
"SHUT THE F*CK UP! HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING!"

[The secret hand signal when Kerry adjusted his tie is proof that he knew what he was doing.]

I REMEMBER when I posted a thread about a phone call I made to the local Kerry headquarters. When I asked the person on the other end of the phone if Senator Kerry REALLY UNDERSTOOD his opponent...that it WAS NOT George W. Bush, it was Karl Rove...and if Senator Kerry TRULY UNDERSTOOD the depths to which Rove was willing to sink.

[I REMEMBER the laughter from the other end of the phone line.]

I REMEMBER the DU poster who replied to my thread, telling me that my phone call took that Kerry operator from VALUABLE RESPONSIBILITIES that were MORE IMPORTANT than MY CALL.

[That Kerry operator could have been more usefully occupied ordering extra large jockstraps for Kerry. Got that? EXTRA LARGE!!!]

We need to STOP THAT KIND OF SHIT. We need to QUESTION people who are not adequately prepared to SLAY THE F*CKING DRAGON.
I don't CARE if you like the fact that it's Karl Rove's playing field.
IT IS. That's how that WORTHLESS, A.W.O.L., substance-abusing, Oedipal, DRY DRUNK COWARD MOTHERFU**ING POS in the White House got TWO TERMS.
Because it's KARL ROVE'S GAME.
James Carville was a F*CKING CLOWN during the 2004 election.
He went on cable news to giggle and bitch-slap Tucker Eskew, but was he prepared to FIGHT?
NO.

[NOBODY put a trashcan over his own head better than James Carville.]

So let's KNOCK OFF this "we can't sink to Rove's level" CRAP, and accept the fact that if we want to win in 2008, we need to drive a fucking stake through the heart of the lead vampire.
The lead vampire is Karl Rove.
Accept it, or bend over for President Frist.

[More likely you will be bending over for President Cheney or President Allen. But now let us hear the Rove OBSESSION from your fellow DUmmies.]

Hey, I'm all for burning his ashes.
But, in case you haven't noticed, Rove's supposed genius has backfired upon him in the Valarie Plame scandal. There really is such a thing as going too far to ruin your enemies.All I can say is wait and see what Fitzgerald comes out with. If it's an indictment with Rove's name on it, then that is when we must throw everything in the book at him, including the book itself. Let there be no doubt in anyone's mind from that very moment on that the man is a treasonous coward, and deserves to rot in jail for the rest of his pathetic life.

[And when there is NO indictment with Rove's name on it, methinks you will crawl into a corner and rot in the fetal position for the rest of your pathetic life.]

He IS a treasonous coward, but as long as Bush defends him...
...there's avery real chance that this treasonous coward could walk away without a SCRATCH, and become the "architect" of the 2008 presidential election.Are we REALLY prepared for that, or are we willing to do whatever we need ot do to BRING HIM DOWN?

[Including the favorite Democrat tactics of lie, cheat, and steal.]

the rove scandal hasn't concluded yet, but if i
were to place my bets and to do so based on past experience, i'd say that not much will happen to him. worse case scenario, he'll resign his position. but don't even think that'll stop him. he's already proven his mettle to these bastards. they'll continue to consult with him, it's just that they'll do so on the DL. at least for a little while.

[Worst case scenario: Karl Rove will be forced to listen to a recitation of the Desderata.]

Dem leaders have no excuse for sitting on their thumbs, doing nothing. They are rudderless and lazy.

[And this DUmmie wins a Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity!]

I'd feel sorry for the person at Kerry HQ
I was that person sometimes. We were just shmucks on the phone, and yet we'd get calls like that as if we had a direct line to the guy. "Tell Kerry to stop being so negative or I won't vote for him! You tell him that!"

[Nice to hear from the Kerry Phone Shmucks.]

I've been that peon too
I've been that peon too. It's a definite eye-opener to the whole process. And no, us peons don't have a direct line to the candidate. But we do volunteer our time to get out there and knock on doors, make phone calls, talk to people and really get a sense of what it's like out there.

[And now we hear from a Kerry peon. BTW, how often did Kerry Pee On you?]

I say step up the Rovian maneuvers
We know the vulgar pigboy and his dirty tricks. I am fully into fighting fire with fire. It's the only way we will even tread water in their presence. Quiet dignity is BS. I saw let's get our hands dirty.

[Is that you, Robert Torricelli?]

Screaming NAKED from the rooftop
and STILL ...nobody believes me.

[That's because nobody can quit laughing at your Wee Willie.]

Multiple types of attacks from many directions. It's important to keep them off balance. Always do the unexpected, and really, how difficult can it be to lure such greedy, selfserving SOB's into compromising and destructive situations? Also, much of their arrogance comes from their sense of being powerful enough to control everything. That's why it is imperative to attack them from all directions to disrupt that feeling of control.

[Yeah. That's the ticket. Lash out blindly in all directions and make yourselves laughingstocks. Make fools of yourselves. That is how we get our sense of being powerful enough to control everything.]

We need to bitchslap the Rovian tactics down to the ground EVERYTIME they are thrown at us.

[One Rovian tactic is to get you folks so paranoid about Rove that you waste your time lashing out at a phantom of your own imaginations.]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-18-05 ("The A.N.S.W.E.R. Problem")

One of the truly entertaining (and educational) things about watching C-SPAN live coverage of Leftist events is seeing the flat out nutcases crawl out of the woodwork and take the center stage. Such is the case with the Communist A.N.S.W.E.R. They don't put on a phony "concerned progressive" face as many other leftwing groups do. They let it ALL hang out in all their lunacy. This is why the MSM usually avoids showing the A.N.S.W.E.R. speakers in favor of some motherly types. However, it is impossible to avoid the A.N.S.W.E.R. extremists when viewing these events on C-SPAN which is why DUmmie earthmama posted this THREAD titled, "The A.N.S.W.E.R. Problem." Apparently DUmmie earthmama is worried that A.N.S.W.E.R. will cause the September 24 Leftist rally (aka the NEXT Day When Everything Finally Changed) to be discredited. Don't worry, DUmmie earthmama, your fellow DUmmies have ALREADY discredited everything they have attempted. And if you think the A.N.S.W.E.R. folks are in Deep Wacko City, then take a close look at your fellow DUmmies. In fact, I suspect that quite a few A.N.S.W.E.R. folks already have DUmmie screen names such as mopaul or Indiana Green (note: I am NOT trolling as Indiana Green in DUmmieland). Therefore let us watch the loonie DUmmies argue over the looniness of A.N.S.W.E.R. in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, making sure to RECORD the September 24 comedy event, is in the [brackets]:

The A.N.S.W.E.R. Problem

[aka The DUmmie Problem.]

I went to the local vigil last night and was handed a flyer for the Sept 24th protest. I was planning on going to the DC protest, actually had a hotel reserved but after receiving this flyer, I decided to cancel my trip. WHY?

On this flyer from A.N.S.W.E.R., the top of it read "STOP THE WAR IN IRAQ." You betcha. But then it says:

- Support Palestinian people right of return

- End Colonial Occupation: Iraq, Palestine, Haiti

- US out of the Philippines

- US out of Puerto Rico
etc.



[If this bothers you, then perhaps you should TOMBSTONE yourself from DUmmieland. However, continue your meaningless whine, DUmmie earthmama...]

This is looking like a repeat of the Oct 25, 2003 march in San Francisco. I was there at the font of the march and had volunteered to carry an A.N.S.W.E.R. banner. Imagine my surprise when, expecting to carry something about bringing our troops home, I was instead handed a big green "Free Palestine" banner. Huh?

[This also looks like a REPEAT of quite a few DUmmie threads. Continue...]

I think A.N.S.W.E.R. needs to learn something about setting priorities and focusing efforts on one thing at a time. While I am certainly sympathetic to many of their other causes, in order to be effective we need to focus our energy on one thing at at time. We are marching in DC against the war in Iraq. Not against the Palestinian occupation. Not about Haiti. Puerto Rico? With all these mixed messages, we on the left wind up looking like disorganized clowns to the media, and they slant their reporting to reflect this perception. We need middle America to hear our voice ABOUT THIS ONE CAUSE. With all the other crap being protested we are going to wind up looking like we do not have our bolts screwed in right.

We are at a turning point in the country thanks to Cindy Sheehan. We need to do this right. We can not afford to make any mistakes here.

[Perhaps you should check first with Cindy Sheehan. Under the influence of George Soros, MoveOn.Org, and your fellow DUmmies, she AGREES with most of the A.N.S.W.E.R. platform.]

When you see the freepers protesting, misguided as they are they at least do it right. They don't dilute their message by trying to heap on every right wing grievance at once. They are there for one cause and one cause only, and they stick to their Rovian talking points. Simple-minded and evil, but effective.

[I guess you are taking my advice about Tombstoning yourself. When you say anything nice about Freepers you risk being excommunicated from DUmmieland.]

Please keep these protests focused on the war in Iraq. Once we win this, then we can "move on" to the next issue. Success breeds success.

I am calling A.N.S.W.E.R. today to voice my concerns and I hope more of you will join me.

["Hello, A.N.S.W.E.R? Um, could you either disappear or not act wacky on Sept. 24? Well, good luck, DUmmie earthmama and now let us hear from your fellow DUmmies are are no less loony than A.N.S.W.E.R.]

The poster in a sense is PANDERING to those news monopolies who have done such disservice to the American people, in every way--from acting as government propaganda shills for the war, to trumpeting rightwing minority views as the "mainstream." We MUST learn to IGNORE them--and how they portray demonstrators--NOT pander to them. They WILL distort and marginalize, NO MATTER WHAT banners people carry. Please understand this.

To most of the world, Palestine IS the point. We are the only people in the world who don't get it--because we have been so poorly informed about it. The unjust shoving aside of the Palestinian people, to make way for the Israeli homeland, and the Bush Cartel's carte blanche to Israel to shove them around some more--to build a wall around them!--as part of a Bush Cartel "grand design" to dominate the world and grab all of its remaining oil resources, is the HEART OF THE MATTER to just about everybody but the mis-informed and dis-informed American people.

[Is that you, Cindy Sheehan?]

I agree with your feelings about this entirely. I wouldn't go near ANSWER with a million mile pole if I could help it.

[Then you better not look at the Speakers' Stage on Sept. 24 because the A.N.S.W.E.R. folks will be front and center up there.]

This has always been a problem imho
answer is very good at organizing events, and more power to them.But when their speakers are on C Span,I cringe.

[When I see A.N.S.W.E.R. on C-SPAN, I APPLAUD because the viewers get to see the TRUE face of the Left, not the sanitized version presented in the highly edited MSM format.]

Just like Susan Estrich on FOX - they exist to make fools out of us...useful idiots!!!

[Are you claiming that EVIL rightwingers force-fed champagne to Susan Estrich on Election Night to make her look like an idiot?]

Don't want any free Mumia. It's stringy and tough to digest.

[And I suppose the "stolen" Diebold ballots are easier to swallow?]

I think the media focus more on them
because they do make us look like fools that can not get our shit together

[Don't worry. DUmmies make themselves look like fools without any help.]

ANSWER's strategy is plain for those who wish to see it. They are purely a Leninist organization, and they want there to be a broad anti-war movement but with the leaders of ANSWER calling all of the shots. This approach is not any different from the strategies voiced by Lenin in his famous papers, "What is to be done?" and "Letters on Tactics". In short, the ANSWER folks believe in a revolutionary elite that will seize power and dictate the revolution to those below. They are the revolutionary elite, everyone else is "those below".

[Thank you for that accurate description of DUmmieland.]

International ANSWER needs to get out of the way and new leadership needs to step in to lead the protest movement. When I go to a Cindy vigil I do not want to hear about Free Mumia, Palestine, police brutality, who's on death row, smaller class sizes. It's unbelievably incompetent and freaking ridiculous. I will not attend another event sponsored by ANSWER. They're an embarrassment to this movement.

[In that case your attendance at the NEXT Day When Everything Finally Changed is no longer required.]

We have to overwhelm them with numbers. We simply have to be in the streets to show that voter fraud is a real issue. There is no substitute.
Answer has been doing this crap for along time and of course a muscle solution at a Peace Rally is absurd.

[You complain about A.N.S.W.E.R. diverting attention from the main issue (getting out of Iraq) and now you claim the real issue is "voter fraud?"]

It's tough. Do you want a focused protest, or do you want 500,000 people to show up? ANSWER puts butts in the seats, and they do so by throwing the door wide open to all comers. It is scattered as hell, but I'd rather have 500,000 protesters come for an important march than a few thousand who are focused.

[That was Pied Piper Pitt opting for EXPEDIENCY by supporting A.N.S.W.E.R. Hey, Pitt, the A.N.S.W.E.R. loons don't sound any nuttier than you with your dopey theory about the Third American Empire. BTW, will you be wearinig skintight leather chaps to go with your black Midnight Cowboy costume on Sept. 24?]

The only reason anyone in DC gets excited about left-wing marches these days is that there is a good chance you can hook up with the sophomore from Michigan State again. She comes to town for every one of these and always has a little bit too much to drink on Saturday night.

[Is that you, Steve2470?]

The rally I went to in Union Square was hijacked by ANSWER
They brought their own mike. They gave speeches. They ruined the event.

[BEAUTIFUL!!!]

BTW, CINDY IS ASKING PEOPLE TO GO TO DC!
damnit! every time there is big demo, there is SOMETHING that inspires people to attempt to discourage others from going.

[Are there fire ants in DC?]

I'm writing to A.N.S.W.E.R. today to express my admiration of all they've accomplished and to thank them for having been/being at the forefront of the antiwar movement despite the not-so-very progressives who think justice can sit around waiting to be taken up one cause at a time.

["Dear A.N.S.W.E.R. Thank you for being as nutty as the DUmmies."]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-16-05 ("I think the tipping point has been reached")

If you have ever wondered why the DUmmies continually act like Charlie Brown attempting to kick the football that Lucy inevitably pulls away, this THREAD titled, “I think the tipping point has been reached” gives the explanation as to why they won’t quit trying. They think that THIS TIME is when Lucy won’t yank away the football. THIS TIME the Acme Co. package WON’T blow up in the DUmmie Coyote’s face. And when they go flying into the air AGAIN and hear the Road Runner go “BEEP! BEEP” into the distance, why will dust themselves off AGAIN in the belief that the very next time will prove to be that oh so elusive tipping point. As usual, the DUmmie aspirations are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, kicking up a bit of Road Runner dust, is in the [brackets]:

I think the tipping point has been reached.

[I thought that was back on June 16, the Day When Everything Finally Changed.]

You can sense it at parties, on the street, in the stores and in the general mood of th the public. I have heard, "Did you see the profit that Exxon is pulling down?" during discussions of gas prices. I have heard numerous Bush supporters, including a friend I have been unable to budge for years, say they're fed up with the war and the economy and the lies and the scandals. I am hearing much concern that Iran will be next with no one but no one voicing approval. I'm even hearing jokes about the ever-vacationing president.

[You forgot to include the standard DUmmie “observation” about how some Republican aunt or uncle is finally coming around to thinking about opposing Bush.]

The tide is turning. You can feel it.

[And you felt it on June 16, November 1, and the evening CBS broadcast the letters about Bush’s Texas Air National Guard service. Please copy your “tide is turning” statement above and paste it into notepad for the many times you will use it in the future.]

You can definietly feel it. It's a lot different then before when people said it. The tied was turning but now there's a different sense and everything.

[All those other times, such as June 16 the Day When Everything Finally Changed were different. This time really really is the Day When Everything Finally Changed. However, just in case, I am copying and pasting this reply into my notepad in case I need to use it AGAIN.]

I can feel it! Smell it in the wind!

[Feel it! Smell it! Essence of The Day When Everything Finally Changed. Now available at your local perfume shop.]

Yawn. Heard it all before, I'm afraid. I'll believe it when I see it. Right now the smart money is on further gains by the Repukes in 06 followed by another repuke in OUR White House in 08, if dumbya doesn't find a way to cancel elections altogether. I'll wait for proof the day after the elections before believing "this is it" ever again. Sorry to burst your bubble.

[And this DUmmie wins a Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity!]

gas prices and war converge to snap us out of our hypnosis

[But, but, DUmmie mopaul. How could oil prices be going up if this war was about oil as you have often claimed?]

ExxonMobil, the biggest American oil company is small potatoes compared to the top 12 state-owned oil producers. Saudi Arabian Oil Company BY ITSELF control about 10 times as much oil as ExxonMobile. In terms of production, ExxonMobil actually looks better. They appear to be able to produce oil more efficiently than many state run oil companies. But it still amounts to about 2% of world oil production.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Ain't it funny how post 9-11 "Islamic" terrorist attacks only happen in Western nations when it's politically expedient for the government at the time?

[LIHOP. But don’t use that term out loud in DUmmieland since Skinner, in a weird attempt to mainstream his forum, has banned posting it.]

I've always noticed that in September...people seem to be more receptive to political messages (whether positive or negative)... perhaps because it is after a long holiday, and people are starting back to school or otherwise getting more serious about their work. And there's more eyes on tv... with the new tv season starting.

[Didn’t See-BS broadcast the phony Bush Texas Air National Guard letters last September? I remember a huge amount of gloat that day in DUmmieland…until a LOUSY FREEPER finally set the record straight.]

of course you're right, even my mom said it's coming soon

[The Apocalypse?]

I think that whatever the bastards cook up next is going to make 9-11 look like child's play.

[LIHOP on steroids. Or is it MIHOP on steroids?]

Nuclear, biological, or chemical. That would be pretext enough to declare martial law, and if that happens, do you really think that there are going to be enough pissed off people to march on Washington with weapons and take back the country?

[Yeah. Bush will sprinkle the country with nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons to boost his poll numbers. This is a rational premise...but ONLY in DUmmieland.]

Well, I plan to openly oppose the Pres and call for his...resignation if another 9/11 occurs. I won't care about my own life at that point. The nation will matter far more.

[DUmmie stevietheman acting like Mr. Bravery despite the fact that there is absolutely NO risk involved.]

The next 911-type activity will be used for one purpose and one purpose only. To declare martial law so that the mission will be accomplished and the coup will be complete. When it is over, there will not be a country known as the United States anymore. At least not one we will recognize.
I think that men in power (military and CIA) are aware of what is going on and hopefully they will try to stop it. God (if you believe in him) help us all if they can't.

[Your butterfly net is in the mail.]

Every drop in poll numbers makes me cringe as that time gets closer with those drops. The traitors and criminals are in WAY to deep to ever allow themselves to be out of power. Think Jimmy Cagney type gangester characters: You'll never take me alive, Copper! Only the junta spends the lives of others and doesn't have any qualms about doing so.

[You’ll never take me alive, DUmmie!]

TIME IS RUNNING OUT - Prevent a nuke on our soil ! HOW ? STARTING TOMORROW, MONDAY, - PLEASE DON'T WAIT !!
CALL the media (T.V. RADIO, NEWSPAPERS) AND MOST OF ALL, CALL THE CONGRESS - JAM THE PHONE LINES, and say you hope these stories circulating about why General Byrnes was really fired, and the Aug. 17, Aug. 22, etc. nuke 'drills' are not true, but that the American people will NOT BE FOOLED AGAIN - like we were on 9/11.
TELL THEM THAT WE WILL KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT, THAT IF WE ARE NUKED HERE ON OUR SOIL, THAT IT WILL BE A GOVERNMENT INSIDE JOB, JUST LIKE 9/11 WAS !! This is the ONLY way they can pull off bombing Iran, and starting a NEW WAR without Congressional approval.. THe stage is being set for this to happen. G.W.'s words reveal his intentions . For God's sake, let's DO SOMETHING THIS WEEK TO RAISE AWARENESS !
Any other ideas ?

[Yeah. I have an idea. Please include your home address in all those messages to the media warning them of the Operation Chicken Little attack about the Falling Sky so the men in the white coats know where to go to pick you up.]

We need to compile all evidence for this in one spot. If we want this theory to be easily explainable by those who would contact the media, we need to have all the backup material.

[You can compile all the evidence for this in the Happy Farms Asylum guest registry.]

Quite frankly...This is a bit much
Nuking South Carolina? I highly doubt it--Why would bushco nuke a red state?

[Nuking South Carolina? Been there. Done that. It already happened about 20 years ago on a TV show. And now I know one of the sources that inspires DUmmie paranoia.]

I don't know/I am a MIHOPer but even I can't easily embrace this. Hopefully I'm right! But to clarify I am certainly not saying anyone with a differing opinion from mine on this topic is nuts--NOTHING would shock me about this group of murdering thieves at this point.

[I’m an IHOPer and nothing would shock me about the nuttiness of the DUmmies at this point.]

The sheeple are too stupid to make intelligent decisions. 2004 should have been a calkwalk for the dems, but the sheeple would have nothing of it - too many of them made it possible to be stolen - again, if not outright elected that time.

[Stupid STUPID people. Why oh why do they keep voting for Republicans when the Bolshevik Democrats are such a great alternative?]

Causes me to reflect that Bush has eased off on the fear pedal since the election, and people are now probably a bit more relaxed. This would allow him to ramp up the fear machine nicely just in time for the 2006 elections, without putting people past the tipping point.

[Bush Fear Machine---The hottest video game since Grand Theft Ohio.]

I sense a sea change, and I don't think it is going to subside. People are waking up, and the only thing that will distract them at this point is lower gas prices and a decrease in fatalities in the sandbox and Afghanistan...and those greedy pigs are not gonna make that happen! Blood for oil, and when you get the oil, keep the profits at the max. I continue to hope, and fight, and work for change--we gotta. It's either that or leave, or curl up and die. Not quite yet....

[Is that you, Helen Thomas?]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-15-05 ("Is Bush Out of Control?")

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. The WACKO DUmmies are actually "worried" that Bush is out of control as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Is Bush Out of Control? Capital Hill Blue today." This from the same clowns composed of wackos such as mopaul and benburch among SCORES of other sanity deprived denizens of DUmmieland. So they think Bush is out of control? Did he wear a black Midnight Cowboy outfit in the hot Texas sun while walking around barefoot to allow his feet to be attacked by fire ants? Is Bush declaring that a Third American Empire began during the 1980 Olympic hockey victory over the Soviets when the fans began yelling "USA! USA!"? Actually all the speculation (and hope) that Bush has gone nuts is based entirely on rumor. So let us watch the nutcase DUmmies praying for a Bush Meltdown in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching the DUmmies go COMPLETELY out of control EVERY DAY, is in the [brackets]:

Is Bush Out of Control? Capital Hill Blue today

[Are the DUmmies Out of Control? Yes, Every Day.]

Buy beleaguered, overworked White House aides enough drinks and they tell a sordid tale of an administration under siege, beset by bitter staff infighting and led by a man whose mood swings suggest paranoia bordering on schizophrenia.

[Buy me 18 year old Flor de Caña rum and I will probably tell you anything to keep the bartender pouring.]

They describe a President whose public persona masks an angry, obscenity-spouting man who berates staff, unleashes tirades against those who disagree with him and ends meetings in the Oval Office with “get out of here!”

[Those aides sound like they are describing Hillary. All they want is for you to keep pouring out the Flor de Caña.]

In fact, George W. Bush’s mood swings have become so drastic that White House emails often contain “weather reports” to warn of the President’s demeanor. “Calm seas” means Bush is calm while “tornado alert” is a warning that he is pissed at the world.

[Hillary was on PERMANENT tornado alert, especially when she slashed Bubba's face with her nails.]

Decreasing job approval ratings and increased criticism within his own party drives the President’s paranoia even higher. Bush, in a meeting with senior advisors, called Senator Majority Leader Bill Frist a “god-damned traitor” for opposing him on stem-cell research.

[What is the DUmmie screen name of the author of this Capitol Hill Blue piece of fiction?]

Is this true or not? Who knows but its great reading!

[So even though you admit that it probably isn't true, you admit that you enjoy reading this fiction. Hey, whatever turns you on.]

Dems need to pile on this
They need to force a public meltdown of spectacular proportions. With an unbalanced personality like *, it's very possible.

[If Bush were already unhinged, why would the Democrats need to pile on? Unless, the story ISN'T true.]

How much would we love to see a public meltdown on TV?
I hope to see him disolve in a puddle of piss, vomit and crap as the weight of what he has done sinks in... all in public on tv.In reality it would prolly scare me no end to see this happen, but I still want it hehe.tib

[Thus spaketh yet ANOTHER out of control DUmmie.]

I'm seriously worried about his mental stability.
And not so much about Washington, but in Crawford. I think the reason they send him on these outrageous '5-week vacations' is because they know he's fragile mentally.So what happens? Cindy Sheehan and company arrive, right on his doorstep. This is an instant downer, because now he has to justify what he does all day long, in particular when he doesn't meet with her. The fact is, he CAN'T meet with her. Cindy Sheehan has publicly announced that she's going to debate him - something he's not able to do right now.

[Thanks for ADMITTING what Cindy Sheehan's REAL agenda is... To get into Bush's face. Amazing that a lot of reporters are still promoting the fiction that Bush meeting with Cindy Sheehan would be a warm fuzzy thing for him to do when the REAL agenda of the left is for Cindy to be completely confrontational.]

this man is totally sick..and he has his followers ........who believe everything he says...hes dangerous......to the entire world....he is the one who has his finger on the switch....and if this is true.he must be taken out of the WH.by force if necessary..for the survival of our country......

[By force if necessary...which means by violence. Thank you for sharing that thought, DUmmie bluedog. I repeat, DUmmie bluedog. Oh, and give the Secret Service my regards.]

capitol hill blue is a crap website
if someone can get a video of this shit, I'd take it seriously but otherwise this could be a bunch of crap.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-11-05 (Pied Piper Pitt Grandstands In Crawford)

Is there any major Leftist event in which William Rivers (Pied Piper) Pitt does not try to make HIMSELF the center of attention? We already saw that happen on June 16, “The Day When Everything Finally Changed.” Unfortunately for Pitt, the Day When Everything Finally Changed fizzled out so he tried to kickstart ANOTHER “Day When Everything Finally Changed” this coming September 24. In between, Pitt noticed the Sheehan Circus taking place in Crawford, Texas and went into the panic mode lest the many video cameras there fail to record him blowing bloated pronouncements into his own navel. So Pitt donned his black Midnight Cowboy outfit and hit the highways in a mad scramble to promote himself before the cameras in Crawford as you can see in his Truthout VERBAL DIARRHEA ENTRIES. So all you reporters down in Crawford, please keep this in mind: Cindy Sheehan is just a sideshow of the circus. The MAIN EVENT is none other than Pied Piper Pitt, at least in his own mind as he attempts to make every twitch of his nose and wiggle of his butt into acts of great historical import. The laughable acts of blatant self-promotion by Pied Piper Pitt are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, once again puncturing the self-inflated Pied Piper Pitt Blimp, is in the [brackets]:

4:55 PM

After a rather uneventful journey from Boston, I am standing on a country road in Crawford TX. There are maybe fifty cars parked here and perhaps five dozen activists. It seems this is a transitional phase. Some have headed back to the Peace House and others are on the way down the road.

[After modeling my yummie Midnight Cowboy outfit for everybody in Dummieland, I am finally grandstanding on a country road in Crawford, TX. There are probably fifty cars parked here and perhaps a dozen activists. Now the real work begins---How to make MYSELF the center of attention.]

The police are being polite and deferential, and word has it the looming arrest threat may have been more a miscommunication than anything. We shall see.

[The police are RUINING our chances for some great video melodrama by being polite and not arresting us. Must find some other way to grandstand.]

Cindy Sheehan is in high spirits despite being sun-blasted and tired. She is also back at the House doing radio interviews.

[Cindy Sheehan is in high spirits despite being sun-blasted and tired. Perhaps I could substitute for her doing radio interviews.]

A long caravan is coming down the road right now. More Iraq families, more veterans, more activists. The Crawford siege continues.

[The Crawford siege continues. Oh how I love to toss around military terminology. A long caravan is coming down the road right now. Sure hope it is more reporters with video cameras. HERE I AM!!!]

Wednesday 10 August 2005
5:26 PM

I just videotaped an interview with Jodi Evans of Code Pink. She has been on a hunger strike out here since Saturday and is weakened but holding firm. Imagine fasting while sleeping in a tent after getting blasted alternately with searing heat and thunderstorms that drop four inches of rain in an hour.

[I just videotaped an interview with Jodi Evans of Code Pink. Maybe I could get it broadcast as a pod on Algore TV. Must edit the tape to make ME the focus of the interview.]

There is more courage by the side of this road than I have seen anywhere in a long, long time.

[Hello everybody! I’m by the side of the road in Crawford. ME!!! Pied Piper Pitt. Please notice my courage.]

And the crowd continues to swell. More rain in the forecast.

[More rain in the forecast. I sure hope it doesn’t cause my black velvet Midnight Cowboy costume to mildew.]

Wednesday 10 August 2005
5:38 PM

A fellow in a big doublewide just rolled by and gave everyone the finger. He didn't stop, though. No big surprise.

[I get the finger from a fellow in a big doublewide. No big surprise. He had no fashion sense so he didn’t appreciate my black velvet Midnight Cowboy costume.]

Wednesday 10 August 2005
6:03 PM

Heading back to an Internet connection so we can upload the interview we just got with Cindy. Hopefully, it will be ready in a couple of hours, and then we will head back here. Stay tuned.

[Panic. Almost a full half-hour went by before I could upload my interview via an Internet connection. That long out of the spotlight is SCARY.]

Wednesday 10 August 2005
7:10 PM

We have sprinted back to a spot with high speed Internet so we can upload our interviews. The highway we took to get here was 84, otherwise known as the George W. Bush Parkway. Yes, the car almost wound up off the road.

[High speed Internet access so I can upload tales of self-glorification. This is what the Crawford trip is all about.]

Things seemed settled back at the protest site. We will head back as soon as we can, and will be there again first thing in the morning. Apparently, the threat from the cops about moving people tomorrow was not so empty. Cindy has vowed to sit herself in the road and not move should that happen.

[Things seemed settled back at the protest site. We will head back as soon as I can issue more press releases about my importance. I have vowed to sit on Cindy to make that happen.]

We will be back soon.

[I’ll be back as soon as I revel in my press releases.]

9:30 PM

Nine thirty at night and we are back at the encampment. It is deep-country dark out here. A sliver of moon sneaks out from behind the clouds, but the only real light comes from the occasional headlights and the strobing blue and red from the sheriff's bubble lights.

[Nine thirty at night and we are back at the encampment. I see sliver of someone mooning me. A firefly landed on my toe and I spotted the slight glimmer of heat lightning 10 miles away. Most comforting is the warm glow from my laptop screen.]

Conversations mutter along the sides of the road as the demonstrators prepare their tents and make plans for the morning. The crickets cree from the underbrush. I don't know where Cindy is right now. I assume she is in a tent herself, getting some rest.

[Conversations mutter along the sides of the road as the demonstrators are probably talking about ME. The crickets are cricking from the underbrush. And somewhere in the Panamanian jungle, a moth flutters its wings.]

Tomorrow will be interesting. Condi and Rummy are coming for a confab at some point. The police may well clear the road before that. On Friday, Bush is going down the road a piece for a fundraiser. We know how much he likes to see protesters, so if they don't clear is out tomorrow, they might the next day.

[Condi and Rummy and ME! I like the sound of that.]

The people out here are ready for whatever happens. The word people are using all through this site is "community." Everyone is taking care of everyone. A woman off in the dark to my left talking on a cell to her son, who is a soldier. From the sound of the talk, he supports her completely.

[The word people are using all through this site is “publicity.” Everyone is trying to hog the spotlight from everyone else. Must hit the internet uploads heavily tomorrow.]

This weird little triangle of road in the middle of nowhere has become the center of everything. The crickets could care less, but there it is.

[I have become the center of everthing. ME! The crickets could care less, but there it is.]

The folks here are having a press conference at ten thirty tomorrow morning. We will be here.

[The folks here are having a press conference at ten thirty tomorrow moring. We will be there. Never met a press camera I didn’t like.]

Wednesday 10 August 2005
10:10 PM

The dark is complete and the activists are bedding down. We will be here early tomorrow. Until then, keep these folks in your thoughts and prayers.

[The dark is complete and the activists are bedding down. We will be here hogging camera time early tomorrow. Until then, keep me in your thoughts and prayers.]

10:40 PM

Camp rumor says there will be arrests made at midnight at the camp, so we are heading back. Stay tuned.

[Camp rumor says there will be arrests made at the camp, so we are heading back to the video cameras. Stay tuned to your cable channel.]

Wednesday 10 August 2005
11:15 PM

We are back at the camp site and everyone is ready for the rumored arrests to come within the hour. The rain has begun again. I will let you know what transpires. Stay tuned.

[The rain has begun again. I will let you know what transpires with my black velvet Midnight Cowboy costume. Stay tuned to your cable news channel.]

Wednesday 10 August 2005
11:20 PM

Spirits are high here despite the rain and arrest threat. Several campers are clustered together under a makeshift tent singing Thin Lizzy songs. People are still arriving.

[Several campers are clustered together in front of a makeshift video camera singing The Internationale. Cameras are still arriving.]

Wednesday 10 August 2005
11:30 PM

A large flatbed tow truck has been spotted by the side of the road a couple of ranches down. There are a lot of reasons for a ranch to have something like that. Still, it is an ominous sign.

[A farm tractor has been spotted by the side of the road a couple of ranches down. There are a lot of reasons for a ranch to have something like that. Still it is an ominous sign. Hope the cameras are running.]

Wednesday 10 August 2005
11:45 PM

A cop is here with spotlights blazing. He shined us, turned, and pulled to the side of the road.

[A cop mooned us and pulled to the side of the road. Oh, and a moth in Panama fluttered its wings.]

Wednesday 10 August 2005
11:55 PM

The cop split and all is quiet. I have never seen so many stars in the sky as I do here. The camp singing continues.

[I have never seen so many stars in the sky as I do here. Makes me think about how grateful I am to be the center of the universe.]

The cop went by again.

[The Panamanian moth fluttered its wings again.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
12:06 AM

Midnight has come and all is quiet. It looks like it was a camp rumor after all, and besides, it would be a political disaster.

[Midnight has come and no soundbites. DAMN! What a PR disaster.]

Going to stick around a while anyway. Not sure what that cop with the lights was trying to do. A Secret Service SUV went by a moment ago. It is totally dark and the land is flat, so no one can sneak up on the camp.

[Going to stick around with the peons anyway. Never can tell when a press camera will sneak up on the camp.]

I will report back when I know more. Meanwhile, the singing goes on.

[Meanwhile a moth in Panama flutters its wings.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
12:15 AM

The campers are making plans for what to do if the cops come in. No one is afraid.

[No one is afraid. (Please note my heroism about an event that hasn’t happened.)]

Thursday 11 August 2005
12:25 AM

The cop went by again. Hard to tell what his purpose is. They may well just be checking things out. Twenty-five minutes have passed since the alleged deadline. No warnings have been issued. The mood here is light. Bob, who was just on with Bernie Ward, has no intention of going anywhere.

[Ominous fluttering of a Panamanian moth’s wings. Mood here is light. We are not afraid.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
12:55 AM

Cindy has emerged, wrapped in a poncho, and the camp mood just lifted twenty feet off the ground.

[Cindy has emerged. Must get my goateed face in the camera frame with her.]

The debate happening now is what to do if they try to move people. Cindy says, standing next to me here, that she won't leave unless she is carried out. Everyone else says, "That's all I need to hear."

[The debate happening now is who gets to share face time on camera with Cindy.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
12:55 AM

[12:55 AM. I couldn’t even let a minute go by since the previous post before putting in my two bits again.]

It is close to one in the morning here, and the threat appears to have passed. Anyone who has been on edge over this should understand the tension. These folks are on the edge of things out here, and the cops plus the flat bed tow truck made for ominous feelings.

[These folks are on the edge of things out here. The tension is almost unbearable. Cops plus the farm tractor plus the fluttering Panamanian moth made for ominous feelings.]

Good news: Cindy will be on the cover of People Magazine. Time and Vanity Fair will interview her tomorrow. How many millions of readers do those magazines have?

[Good news: I might be in the background when Cindy is on the cover of People Magazine. Time and Vanity Fair will interview her tomorrow. Must make sure I get in the picture there too. How many millions of readers will see my big bad black velvet Midnight Cowboy hat?]

Lots of millions.

[I am feeling great urinations of joy in my black velvet Midnight Cowboy pants.]

To repeat, we are standing down for the time being.

[To repeat, I am standing in front of the cameras for the time being.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
1:10 AM

It is after one and the concerns have passed. We are packing it in for the night, again. Cindy is telling stories and the others are slowly drifting back to their tents.

[It is after one and the concerns have passed. No ominous flashing cop lights, farm tractors, or fluttering Panamanian moths.]

We will be here first thing in the morning for the arrival of Condi and Rummy and we will do this all over again.

[I will go in front of the cameras all over again…and again…and again…]

Question for the night: Who will get arrested first, Cindy or Osama?

[Question for the night. Who will get in front of the cameras first, Me or Osama?]

Thursday 11 August 2005
7:21 AM

The sun came up hazy this morning, with the sky divided between blue and high clouds. It feels like a hot one coming on, in more ways than one

[Another ominous sign. The sun rose in the east. Oh, and the sky is blue with clouds in it. Yet more ominous signs.]

I got a call from the campsite at five thirty this morning. Apparently, fourteen white Secret Service SUVs went blasting up the road. It was almost certainly either a security shift change or augmentation, but it made all the demonstrators cat-nervous.

[I got a call from room service at my luxury hotel suite this morning. They don’t have fresh squeezed orange juice. Just grapefruit juice. This change is making me nervous.]

We are getting coffee and are on the way in.

[We are getting coffee on our way in to Starbucks.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
8:19 AM

Light dawns on marble head. Those fourteen SUVs that went by were probably Condi and Rummy running the gauntlet, or the press corps getting delivered to the Bush house.

[…or my pizza being delivered to me.]

We are back at the site. A large contingent of military families is coming in, and the camp press conference is in about two hours.

[We are back with the peons. The camp press conference is in about two hours. Must practice leaping in front of the cameras.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
8:19 AM

An Iraq war veteran named Goodrich has arrived with his decorations and salad bar on his camo shirt. It is warming up.

[It is warming up. Who was the dumb shmuck who advised me to wear a BLACK velvet Midnight Cowboy hat?]

Thursday 11 August 2005
8:19 AM

The crowd here is growing exponentially as the sun gets higher. Lots of press and cameras, lots of tent moving and reorganization. The cars are stacking up. Old school organizers are teaching the younger folks how to do the do.

[My press releases are growing exponentially as the sun gets higher. Lots of press and cameras. Be still my beating heart!]

A big black pickup just came into the camp and is sitting here leaning on his horn. He was not being blocked. It went on for a good couple of minutes. The natives are getting restless.

[The natives are getting restless. Maybe the cause is my big black velvet Midnight Cowboy hat.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
9:15 AM

There is a smoking gun right here in camp.

[There is a smoking bong right here in camp.]

It has been reported that the US started bombing Iraqi sites well before the so-called diplomacy was completed, to deplete Iraq's war capabilities, and also to goad Saddam into a war. For many, this is prima facie evidence of a war crime.

[I want prima facie time in front of the video cameras.]

Tim Goodrich, Air Force veteran here in camp, participated in that bombing while in Iraq. We have an interview with him which will be up later today.

[We have an interview which will be online later today featuring ME with a wee bit of Tim.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
9:52 AM

There is a large gathering of press here waiting for the conference. Lawyers are here with Complaints to be filed regarding infringement of First Amendment rights. The cars keep coming and coming. Another convoy of cops and trucks just went slamming by.

[There is a large gathering of press here waiting for the conference. Wiping the drool stains off my shirt.]

Something very interesting is also about to happen. Can't write about it yet. Stay tuned.

[Something very interesting is also about to happen. I am about to gaze at my own navel from a new angle. Stay tuned.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
10:13 AM

There are six police cars stacked up down the road with their dome lights going. Methinks our distinguished visitors may be on the way.

[There are six police cars stacked up down the road with their dome lights going. The farm tractor just backfired ominously.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
10:18 AM

The police have brought in a health inspector. Maybe they think campers are pooping on private property. Not happening. Everyone goes to the Peace House.

[The police have brought in a health inspector. Will he condemn my underpants?]

Thursday 11 August 2005
10:25 AM

The health inspectors are poking around in every tent, backed up by the sheriff and a deputy. They are surrounded by clicking cameras.

[The health inspectors are poking around in my underwear. They are surrounded by clicking cameras. Hope those cameras don’t give me an embarrassing schwing alert.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
10:47 AM

I am destroyed. Cindy and the other families of the fallen just had their press conference. By the end, all were weeping. All denounced the war, Bush, and demanded the troops be brought home. It ended with these families just holding each other, surrounded by flowers and cameras, to the side of the Arlington West cemetery that has been erected here.

[I am destroyed. A full 22 minutes went by since my last blatant self-promotion. By the end, I was weeping. Must vow never to let that happen again.]

We will get our footage of this up as soon as we can.

[We will get footage of my self-promotion up as soon as we can.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
10:55 AM

I walked in the grass and my feet got attacked by fire ants. I am hating Texas right now.

[I sat in the grass and my ass got attacked by fire ants. I am hating Texas right now.]
Thursday 11 August 2005
11:54 AM

We are back at the hotel to get our video uploaded, and so I can put some stuff on the forty fire ant bites my feet will be taking home as a souveneir. Ouch.

[We are back at the hotel to get room service and our video uploaded, and so I can put some stuff on the forty fire ant bites on my ass. Ouch.]

Today was the biggest day of this event so far. I am not sure how the whole health inspector thing is going to shake out, but the sheriff has said to several reporters that no arrests are planned. We will see if that holds true.

[Today was the biggest day of this event so far. I was able to upload the most stuff about myself.]

Back soon.

[Back soon to promote myself.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
1:41 PM

A letter is floating out from some right-wing radio host allegedly from Casey Sheehan's godmother, which has been signed by "various grandparents and cousins" etc. The letter attacks Cindy and says the family stands with Bush. I am heading back to camp and will ask her about it. The letter is signed Cherie Quarterolo.

[I am going to ask Cindy if she has any fascist Freeper relatives.]

Sounds like some crap. The swift boating of Cindy begins.

[Sounds like some crap. I fear the swift booting of me out of Crawford before I can get more video face time.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
2:26 PM

We are on the road back to the site after stopping for some supplies. I will get answers to this relatives letter thing, and also to catch up on the thing I couldn't report on before. Basically, several Iraq vets were going to walk up to the ranch gate to see if they could talk to someone inside.

[We are on the road back to the site after stopping for some room service. I will get talking points to this relatives letter thing and catch up on more camera time again.]

Thursday 11 August 2005
3:35 PM

Barry Crimins is here. Got damn.

[Barry Crimins is here. Got damn more face time on camera than I did.]

The soldiers who did the walk-up aren't around right now. Cindy's spokesman is likewise unavailable because his wife is suffering heat stroke. I will catch up on the letter thing and get a statement when I can. I know they are aware of it.

I may sound like a bit of a heretic saying this, but I have a rogue nerve tingling a concern right now.

Until today, the group here was relatively small, everyone knew each other and everyone was entirely on the same page.

[Until today, the group here was relatively small, everyone knew each other and I was able to easily hog plenty of camera time.]

Now there are a bunch of new folks here, and they all mean well, but a number of them appear to be interested in dragging the whole thing towards whatever other cause inspires them.

[Now there are a bunch of new glory hounds here dragging the cause away from ME.]

There is Pamphleteer Guy with his anti-theocracy newspaper buttonholing everyone he can find to buy his paper. There are the young radicals who are arguing with themselves about what actions they can take, whether or not those actions have anything to do with Cindy.

[There are young radicals here arguing about things other than ME. And Pamphleteer Guy---Get out of my camera viewfinder!]

There is nothing wrong right now. I just hope the people who have just come, and the people on the way, remember to be down for the main cause that started this. It would be a real tragedy if this turned into an ANSWER rally, with everyone rocking their own rallying cry. Right now this is laser-focused. It needs to stay that way.

DUmmie FUnnies 08-09-05 (Pied Piper Pitt Models Midnight Cowboy Outfit For Texas Trip)

If you have ever seen the movie, Midnight Cowboy or seen certain denizens of Times Square late at night decked out in their urban version of what they think are Western clothes, then you have a good idea of the outfit that Pied Piper Pitt is wearing on his trip to Texas in order to grandstand for the cameras in yet another desperate attempt to draw attention to himself. Take a look at the Pitt pic modeling his tush in clothes no real cowboy would be caught dead wearing in this THREAD titled, “So do I look ready for Texas?” Um… No, Pitt. You’re not ready for Texas but you are definitely ready to sell your hiney on Times Square sometime after midnight. So let us laugh at Pied Piper Pitt’s voyeuristic fashion fantasies in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, thinking that even Ratso Rizzo, looked more manly than Pitt, is in the [brackets]:

So do I look ready for Texas?

[Yes. You do look ready to enter the bathroom of a seedy Texas bathhouse, Pitt.]

Car, hotel, flight, directions, all set. Oh...and I've got my hat, too.

[And don’t forget your jar of petroleum jelly.]

You'll need a six pack and a pistol with you as well. I think it's a state law that all drivers have these items with them at all times.

[Pitt will need that pistol to protect himself from the REAL Texans who will want to lynch him for wearing that cowboy wannabee outfit that looks like it was designed by Truman Capote.]

Don't forget your suncreen!

[SPF 69.]

Don't forget the boots

[These boots are made for stalking…]

Getcher ass over ta Shepler's and pick up some pointy boots.

[Yes. Pitt will certainly get some pointy boots in his ass.]

yankee all over, who you foolin, lol

[Apparenly no one. Pitt will be laughed at the moment he crosses the Texas state line wearing that Midnight Cowboy outfit.]

They're gonna think you're Tim McGraw. Get a long-legged blonde to go with you and you'll get more attention than you ever dreamed of.

[Since Roy is gone, Siegfried is available as a long-legged blonde.]

Not sure about Texas ...but if I were you I'd steer clear of Mississippi looking like that!

[I’d steer clear of this planet looking like that.]

Like a Mass Ave. Cowboy.

[Like an Ass Ave. Cowboy.]

Wanna borrow my spurs? They jingle jangle jingle and have very big rowels. Ohhhh, you would be so HOT!

[It sounds like you want Pitt to jingle your jangle in the George Maharis Memorial Restroom.]

the pistol sounds like a good idea too

[It sounds like you want to be around when Pied Piper Pitt’s Pistol shoots off.]

I don't know how to write it but whoo aah! I'm so happy I'm so happily married. You're a dangerous single person.

[Who performed your marriage ceremony? Mayor Newsome?]

Not bad, but lose the earing if you want to be taken seriously..

[Better yet, lose both earrings.]

or add a construction guy and a policeman...

[YMCA! YMCA!]

cute enough to kiss

[Is that you, Mayor Newsome?]

With respect to the pricky sticky stuff...I'd advise leather shoes. Opuntia and sand burrs play hell with sneakers.

[You’re gonna get Pitt all aroused talking about prickly sticky stuff.]

Now call yourself "Billy Ray Pitt" and you're all set.

[Better yet, call yoursel “Willie Sway Pitt.”]

How's your drawl!

[Not quite as good as his lisp.]

Recommend a stick of Itch-X for the Fire Ant bites…

[With that outfit, I’m sure Pitt will find a stick to scratch his itch.]

Is this for some kind of homosexual rodeo?

[And this DUmmie wins a Kewpie doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity.]

Dude, Where in the Hell is YOUR toothpick?

[Down by the seat of his pants.]

You look ready to join the Village People! Do you have chaps?

[Pitt’s Chaps are the Chaps in the Village People.]

Be still my beating heart .....you look hot WP...definitely ready!

[Is that you, Tennessee Williams?]

You should have shorts, bluejeans are to hot, a strawhat, and you don't
need cowboy boots.

[Just bikini briefs and a cowboy hat along with flip-flops are all Pitt needs.]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-09-05 ("CINDY SHEEHAN TO BE ARRESTED THURSDAY")

"I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis. I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith."

That was the quote from Cindy Sheehan in June 2004 referring to President Bush. Since then Cindy has a new memory of her meeting with Bush which resembles something like the Horned Beast with Cloven Hooves. So why the big memory change? One could look at MoveOn.Org and the other usual suspects who appear to have gotten to her. No one can doubt that Sheehan is being used by the DUmmies for NO OTHER REASON than to fulfill their Leftist agenda of getting Bush. Of course, lost in all this hoopla is the husband of Cindy Sheehan, Patrick, who is noticeably ABSENT from all the political theater promoted by the DUmmies and their cohorts. It would be interesting to find out his take on the way his wife’s understandable grief is being cynically exploited by the Left. The latest chapter of this exploitation can be viewed in this DUmmie THREAD titled, “CINDY SHEEHAN TO BE ARRESTED THURSDAY.” A more apt title would be “CINDY SHEEHAN TO BE EXPLOITED THURSDAY.” As usual the cynical DUmmie exploitations are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if some intrepid correspondent out there would interview Mr. Sheehan to get to the bottom of this political theater, is in the [brackets]:

CINDY SHEEHAN TO BE ARRESTED THURSDAY

[A more accurate title would be, “CINDY SHEEHAN TO BE EXPLOITED THURSDAY.”]

Cindy Sheehan phoned me from Texas a few minutes ago to say that she's been informed that beginning Thursday, she and her companions will be considered a threat to national security and will be arrested. Coincidentally, Thursday is the day that Rice and Rumsfeld visit the ranch, and Friday is a fundraiser event for the haves and the have mores. Cindy said that she and others plan to be arrested.

[I have a strange feeling that that plan won’t pan out.]

bushco is so damn dumb - they must want to spotlight Cindy and Camp Casey

[You must be so damn dumb as to speculate on an arrest that hasn’t happened.]

All the chimp would have to do........is go out there and talk with her for 15 minutes.

[The “chimp” already did talk to Cindy in June 2004. Your selective memory seems to forget that Cindy described that meeting this way: "That was the gift the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together."]

What a Dick, I am SO f*cking ashamed that this arrested development, adolescent represents our country on the world stage. He's not only an embarrassment to the United States, he's an embarrassment to the Human Race. F*ck you bush!

[Let me guess. You don’t like Bush. So if he is so awful as you present, then what would be the purpose of him meeting a SECOND TIME with Cindy? So you DUmmies in the Peanut Gallery could scream curses at him?]

I met Cindy and have seen her speak publicly and heard her story...she is a very powerful force. When I met her, I intuitively knew right then and there that she is the biggest threat that this administration fears...the voice of a mother who lost her child who will be able to rally a nation....

[And what happened to the FATHER who lost his child, Patrick Sheehan? He seems NOT to be part of the DUmmie Political Theater game plan. Thus he is conveniently forgotten.]

She is an excellent field general - her reactions to his words and deeds have ended in him being trapped like a cockroach - anything he does sucks and she is still in the news.

[Earth to DUmmies: Your exploitation of a grieving mother for political theater is well UNDERSTOOD by the public. By overplaying your hand, this exploitation of her is already backfiring.]

Yes, I certainly hope so. The police in Crawford SHOULD arrest Cindy Sheehan. They should very openly hold out the handcuffs, with the lights twirling on top of the squad cars, and escort her to the car. Take her to jail. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm supporting her. But this will give her even more publicity than before.

[For anybody who still doubts DUmmie exploitation, I present this post to make my case. They don’t really feel outrage. The DUmmies just coldly want to EXPLOIT Cindy Sheehan to make POLITICAL points against Bush.]

They know that arresting her will be political suicide--bet they change their minds---but, of course, I do hope I'm wrong. I well remember the civil rights movement and the arrests and beatings of blacks who protested with non-violent resistance---it changed the world---it also worked in Poland, India, etc.----This could be huge---people won't put up with arresting a grieving mother for nothing more than exercising her right of free speech and protest.

[This DUmmie HOPES for her arrest. Yes, “EXPLOITATION” is the KEY WORD here.]

I can see how * would be intimidated by that crowd. WE WILL RAISE HELL IF THEY ARREST HER----MAKES ME ALMOST HOPE THEY DO.

[EXPLOITATION.]

How about Jim Hightower? How about Michael Moore? Both of these guys could bring some high profile attention and clout to this situation, has anyone attempted contacting them?

[Michael Moore definitely has a pizza-enhanced high profile and would certainly not shrink from exploiting this situation.]

I hope someone is there with a digi-cam streaming this live on the Internet. Seriously, start the streaming now - let everyone know. The whole world needs to see this.

[So they can see your exploitation.]

It seems like a bit of a Kent State moment that might be shaping up. I don't mean a shooting, but a revelation to the public of the administration's fear of the anti-war movement, through the arrest of this grief stricken mother.

[Your mouth is drooling in anticipation of the exploitation.]

All he has to do is talk to her for 15 minutes and it would be over.

[Bush already DID talk to her. June 2004. An event that your tiny selective mind filters out.]

Yep, this is a Tienanmen square type event. Here in the good ol' "free" USofA. Except this time, Bush is driving the tanks.

[A DUmmie has a hyperbolic moment over this exploitation.]

According to Will Pitt, this is a perfect storm (my words, not his) because the White House press corps is camped out in Crawford with basically nothing to do for the month of August. They need stories. They rarely get access to the boy king. SOOOOOO. That may have something to do with why the story had over 500 google listings yesterday morning.

[Not surprising that Pied Piper Pitt would get in on the exploitation.]

Cindy, just sit down in the street and don't move! And everyone nearby have camera's and laptops ready-

[…ready to record the exploitation live for the internet.]

Pardon my tin foil, but I have ALWAYS felt part of the reason to deploy troops overseas was to keep them away from the real fight to preserve American liberty which would be waged at home. Those troops are basically held hostage in Iraq. They were dropped into a situation of the PNACers' making and have to fight or die there. Long swim to get home and protect American Mothers like Cindy Sheehan. Remember back in the last days of the Soviet Union? The power elite sent troops out to face their mothers and grandmothers. For the most part, the troops did not fight against the people for the rulers. The junta learned something from that.

[I hope the media out there reads this post to find out just what sort of wackos are exploiting Cindy Sheehan.]

this *IS* the revolution we've been hoping for.

[this *IS* the post I’ve been hoping for: An honest admission of the TRUE goal of the DUmmies.]

Has anyone verified this information with other sources? Cause we're going to look mighty stupid if this isn't true.

[As usual, DUmmie Coyote. As usual. BEEP! BEEP!]

Ed Schultz said he/his station, contacted the sheriff and Cindy and others will NOT be arrested unless they break the law. This was announced after he had talked to Cindy.

[Oops! So much for the exploitation aspiration.]

Schultz who was a reporter on sports fishing before this stint in political talk is an apologist for the system who is chock full of inane cliches. His 'success' is attributable strictly to his 'style' which panders to the common middle American.

[Time to slam Blowhard Ed Schultz for being the bearer of the “bad news” that Cindy Sheehan WON’T be arrested.]

Isn't this how Woodstock got started?

[No. You need to add in several tons of the special herbal green tobacco for that to happen.]

Bush is a drunk and Crawford is his watering hole. Someone asked why this pathetic moron retreats to Crawford of all places. Think about it. Move ever so slightly out of the box and invert the accepted norm that he is a 'recovered' drunk. Knowing full well that everything this ape-boy says is the opposite of truth one can readily deduce that he is a full on,shirts to the wind,closet alcoholic who is without question heavily enibreated 25 of his 30 odd days down on the ranch. You can bet your first child that the press corp has known this from day one and could share dozens of harrowing stories. You can also bet that Cheney is the acting Commander in Chief. Its so bizarre and so obvious that it trumps The Manchurian Candidate for fictional surrealism. And yet it is exactly what America wants and what it deserves. Americans have been stupidly indifferent to politics and government pretty much since the 70s. They have been in exquisite denial. Why shouldn't they then participate in fraudulent elections,be ruled by a puppet facist and be bilked for their last pennies by an insatiable war machine of blood thirsty vampires? The sooner this nonculture of Wendy's and Hummers, pornography and sports deities finally reaches bottom the better. Who is to say what the nature of that bottom will be? One thing is for sure. America is responsible for having validated a sick,drunken moron as their President because America is sick and drunken and depraved. Period. Until people realize how far gone this culture is there will be no meaningful change. Taking responsibility is the first step. The Great Depression was a vehicle that forced beleivers in the American myth to face the mirror and kill the image. Then the war with facism that followed was a kind of way that the culture pulled itself up out of the snake pit. But once Hiroshima happened it has been all downhill. The Military-Industrial Complex took over and all pretense of morality and high ground was forever lost and surely distorted. Whats the bottom going to look like this time around?

[Your Hate America rant explains what is at the bottom of all this exploitation.]

maybe its starting. I am thinking as I read this that this could be the simple beginning of a real anti-war movement finally, a peoples' movement against Facism. Cindy could start a kind of momentum which could pick up alot of steam. Just as the Freedom marches did down South and Mario Savio at Berkeley in 64'. The movement badly needs to get a human face. Rove and the other dedicated facists already know this. They will try to coopt this woman to defuse the energy but if they are stupid and do nothing and she is arrested then we have a story that the thrill seeking Media will cover. Then more people will become interested in the human side of this facist invasion. The power is only in the peoples' hands. No democrat in Washington can do anything. Most are already bought by corporations. The few with integrity and courage are completely marginalized. That is until a real peoples' movement begins. New leaders need to emerge who are exciting and electrifying. They should come from right out on the street and from simple American homes. No representative or politician is going to put his shrunken balls on the line to stop all this madness and face down facism. What we have right here and right now is a de facto facist state with a 24/7 noise machine spewing lies and propaganda that make lies sound like truths and truths sound like lies. But high personal emotion,people momentum,sit-ins,facing down facist power and a strong human face could just turn the tide. There is absolutely no question in my mind that what remained of a semi-functioning representative system was overthrown in December 00'. The Junta has amassed great concentrated power since then and will do anything, anything at all to hold onto this power. Bush himself is just a moronic puppet who perfectly reflects the sick and fearful underbelly of American consciousness. A crude,ignorant,sadistic and deeply self-centered buffoon. He has held the mirror up to American culture. America must take responsibility for its sickening dark side before it ever removes this canker from its rectum.

[Oops! Pardon me for thinking that your previous Hate America rant was over. I underestimated the amount of bile in you.]

The real threat is Bush himself and his cronies. Filthy filthy man. I seriously doubt that he's going to get away with this stunt. Even the blind can see how disgusting this is. I think this shows just how scared he is. He preaches life, patriotism and apple pie and motherhood, but he's persecuting one grieving woman with more guts than he has in his little finger. I think this will backfire on him.

[Speaking of backfiring…]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-08-05 ("Why aren't the democrats talking about PNAC...?")

I think a fascinating idea for a book is for some shrink to analyze the Mind of the Left. Such a book could be called “Psychosis of the Left.” And it is indeed a psychosis. As any of you following the DUmmie FUnnies for the past few months know, the DUmmie Left suffers from a plethora of bizarre mental aberrations. Such aberrations take a variety of forms. For example total fantasy in which “I BEEEEELEEEVE John Kerry will be inaugurated on Jan. 20.” Let us also not forget the many DUmmie scenarios of creating their own alternate reality in which Al Gore is now our president in a parallel universe. Although the Left disdains Western religions as being fundamentalist and irrational, they are quick to seriously embrace astrology and many forms of paganism with their Moon Goddesses and Earth Mothers along with faux prophecies of Hopi Witch Doctors. Most bizarre is the tendency of the Left to embrace the Islamo-Fascists. Yes, they have actually made common ground with the same folks who would cover women from head to toes in ugly black robes and deny them even the right to drive a car. So how do the Leftist DUmmies justify all of this? The answer is simple. As Rush Limbaugh has said, Liberalism is a MENTAL DISEASE. The Leftists have quite simply become psychotic. A symptom of the psychosis of the Left is EXTREME paranoia. Thus we have their paranoid fantasies about LIHOP, MIHOP, BFEE and, of course, PNAC which is the subject of this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Why aren't the democrats talking about PNAC…?” I think I can give the DUmmies their answer right now, the Left is divided into two main groups. The Psychotic Left as exemplified by the DUmmies and the Professional Left as represented by Hillary, Joe Biden, and John Kerry. The latter group is absolutely cynical and don’t really buy into the hogwash served up by the Psychotic Left but will play into their fantasies only to the extent of getting their support. Therefore the PROFESSIONAL Democrats won’t talk much about the DUmmie paranoia about PNAC (or any of their other delusions) except to perhaps give a condescending nod in their direction in order to garner support come election time. So let us now explore this interesting dichotomy between the Psychotic Left and the Professional Left who cynically exploits the psychosis of the former. As usual the psychotic DUmmie postings are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who hopes that Mary Matalin will encourage the publication of a book called “Psychosis of the Left,” is in the [brackets]:


Why aren't the democrats talking about PNAC or for that matter, why doesn't the media cover it?

[For the same reason why Skinner recently banned talk in DUMmieland about LIHOP and MIHOP. He knows it makes the Left look like loons. The Democrats will cynically try to appeal to the DUmmies during the Primary campaigns but they know that DUmmie Delusions are POISON in the general elections.]

Most people have NO idea what PNAC is or their agenda even democrats I have spoken with do NOT know what I am talking about. Why PNAC agenda, and the cosigners NOT talked about?

[Because most people are NOT psychotic and don’t share your DUmmie paranoid fantasies.]

I never heard Kerry bring it up to any degree, and I sure as hell don't here any democrats even talking about it. I am left to conclude that either they agree with PNAC or are afraid of exposing the power behind it

[About all you will get out of Kerry is his secret hand signal while adjusting his tie. The Professional Democrats will profess to take your delusions seriously while all the time cynically laughing at you behind your backs. They want your support without having to take on your paranoid baggage which would cost them dearly at election time.]

probably because anybody who does bring it up is looked down on as a nutcase--the media appears to be complicit in a coverup--they certainly are not reporting anything. I have harangued my local rag about this, and they profess total surprise and ignorance

[And I bet your local rag looks down upon you as a nutcase. They probably do agree with you on most issues but they have enough sense as PROFESSIONAL Democrats to know that your paranoia must be kept under lock and key at election time.]

It's weird too, because the PNAC people aren't exactly hiding - they've got their Statement of Principles all laid right out there on their website for the world to see, so isn't it strange when anyone (particularly journalists) professes ignorance?

[I just had some donuts and coffee over at the PNAC snack bar. It was a PNAC SNAC.]

Wes Clark did. But he's about the only one. And the media called him "nuts" and "coocoo" when he did.

[That might have to do with the fact that Clark only blinks about once every seven months or so.]

Project for the New American Century. Wanted a "Pearl Harbor" type event in 1999 to get American support for taking over Iraq.

[You nailed it. The PNACers LIHOPed 9-11. However don’t expect Hillary to run on that premise in 2008.]

I would love a zogby poll to ask if anyone has heard of PNAC

[I would love a Zogby poll to ask if anyone has heard that you’re not sane.]

'Cause pronouncing it sounds like a sick sneeze. And rational people have a problem that any group of sane people could actually take that route.

[KAZUNHEIT! And rational people would see that you have sneezed out your sanity.]

The media owners are probably secret members of PNAC.

[They meet secretly in the nude by the moonlight of the Bohemian Grove.]

Cynthia McKinney, Charlie Rangle, and a few others are the only ones telling truth.

[Ah yes! The usual sanity challenged suspects.]

THE SILENCE IS AN OUTRAGE

[SO SPEAK LOUDER AND GIVE US MORE LAUGHS!!!]

Add to that list Maurice Hinchey. talks about it every town meeting.

[Ah yes, Hinchey. Another one who has left more than his share of tooth marks on the leather strap.]

You have to pay pretty close attention to know what PNAC or DNC or RSCC or DLC or TGIF or any of that is.

[Or LIPOH, MIHOP, BFEE, etc.. Rule of thumb: If you know what the initials of all of these stand for, you are a strong candidate for Lithium treatments.]

Randi Rhodes talks about it all the time, even gives search tips to find the Pearl Harbor reference more easily for people just visiting the site for the first time.

[There’s a great reference. Randi Rhodes. And did you know that she STILL thinks OJ was innocent?]

Kucinich brought them up in one of the presidential primary debates. It's the only time I recall hearing the name during prime time TV.

[I expect no less from the Evil Elf.]

PNAC is serious shit.. most people cant keep plame, siebel, cindy, roberts and downing street straight, much less PNAC. PNAC is a whole kind of evil that the United States just is not ready to deal with.

[PNACing, Mr. Pinnell? PNACing?]

PNAC scares the shit out of people.

[I was shivering in fright last night underneath my blanket because I left the closet door open and was scared the PNAC monster would come out and get me.]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-05-05 (Pied Piper Pitt Contradicts Himself AGAIN)

It looks like Pied Piper Pitt needs to break out in song to sing “Self-Recanted Evening” since he has contradicted himself YET AGAIN as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, “Before the 'Hackett Wuz Robbed' train gets really rolling...” Pitt makes it appear that the Left is making themselves appear ridiculous by claiming that every election they have lost was stolen. However, a couple of days before making this post, Pitt made his infamous Sound Of Distant Thunder post in which he proudly claimed that he stood on the Capitol steps in May 2001 with a bunch of fellow loonies protesting “the illegitimate delivery of the presidency to George W. Bush.” Sorry, Pitt. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t now be self-righteously proclaiming that it is wrong to claim elections are stolen when you folks lose and at the same time still claim that Election 2000 was stolen. NO recount ever showed Gore ahead in Florida. Following the election, several major LIBERAL newspapers carefully checked the voting results. Their conclusion: Bush won. And yet despite ALL the evidence showing that result, Pitt still proudly boasts of his participation in a demonstration protesting that “stolen” election. So let us now watch Pitt contradict himself once again in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, humming “Self-Recanted Evening” from atop a Diebold machine, is in the [brackets]:

Before the 'Hackett Wuz Robbed' train gets really rolling...I'd like to ask:

[“Why do I keep contradicting myself?”]

Is every election we lose going to be called stolen from now on?

[You helped set the ball in motion, Pitt, by contesting the 2000 election results.]

I've been dealing with local elections since I was a little kid. My mom held a small office in our town and worked with the Mayor, who ran every term for 22 years. We were there every election night listening to the results come in and go up on the board. Results from districts would come in late and dramatically change the count. It happened all the time, and it wasn't fraud.

I think everyone is correct to be suspicious of elections these days. But I would offer also a word of caution: What happened here with Hackett is not unusual. Before the accusation of fraud is made as a declarative fact, some proof beyond conjecture and disappointment would be a good thing.

[That was Pied Piper Pitt posting on Aug. 4 at 11:05 AM. Here is what Pied Piper Pitt posted on Aug. 2 at 3:37 PM: “It seems a million years hence that I stood upon the steps of the Capitol Building in May of 2001 with thousands of other activists to protest the illegitimate delivery of the presidency to George W. Bush.”]

I won't be calling it fraud. But the evidence points to questionable proc As long as the Ohio elections board operates with such questionable procedures and equipment, I think it's a fair question to ask:

How do we know the vote in Ohio is fair? We don't.

[How do we know you are sane? We don’t.]

That late surge came from Schmidt's home county.

[You shouldn’t have said that, Pitt. You have only stoked the DUmmie paranoid fires.]

The only irregularity I'm aware of is that they had to hand count part of Clermont because of high humidity

[But isn’t hand counting what you DUmmies have been screeching for all along? And now you are COMPLAINING about a hand count?]

In four minutes, four thousand votes appear? I think the more important question is William, why you seem more interested in quieting legitimate discussion and/or skepticism, and appear resistant to looking at the reality that Republicans have in fact (as wild as this may sound) been known to engage in dishonest activities once in a blue moon.

[The answer to your question is that Pied Piper Pitt is trying to mainstream himself to be more acceptable for press interviews. Unfortunately, for Pitt, that is an IMPOSSIBLE task since his own melodramatic writings are a bloated paper trail in wackiness. His laughable essay about a Third American Empire that began at the end of an Olympic hockey game is enough in itself to have him laughed off most TV interview shows before he even sets foot there.]

May God strike me dead
and poop on my face if I do.

[Do what, Pitt? If it is contradicting yourself, then you better wipe that poop off your face with your cold dead fingers.]

Well, whaddya expect after the last 2 presidential elections were outright STOLEN??? Democracy is America is dead...

[We know for sure that Pied Piper Pitt has proclaimed, without a shred of evidence, that Election 2000 was stolen.]

Hey Will Pitt! I believe we've been down this road, Ohio ring a bell in 2004!!! The people need a voice to decide wheter paperless verification for voting machines has proven it's something that should or should not be mandatory!

[You had hand counting in part of Clermont county and you DUmmies cited THAT as proof of election fraud. Heads you lose; Tails you STILL lose.]

why does every election seem to have fishy things happen? why after all day of basically 50/50 do the machines go down and suddenly 91 precincts need to be hand counted?
and why are those particular precincts the ones that are heavily for schmidt? in fact just about the amount needed to give victory and ensure no automatic recount?

[Why is Karl Rove spotted in the Kinko’s of every contested election district?]

There are many people here on DU who simply can't fathom the possibility that a Republican could get more votes that a Democrat in a fair election. They believe that a majority of voters have similar political views to them. The only way to they can rationalize election results is accept the idea that the election was stolen. This started immediately after the mid-term elections of 2002.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

I am old enough to remember President Eisenhour, actually President Truman also, although it gets a little fuzzy there. Anyway, this is an entirely different time, yes we had corruption back then too, but nothing like the times we are in today. I have never, never seen it this bad. For me, your type of thinking is now long gone, I've taken off my rose colored glasses.

[Ah yes! Those were the days of CLEAN elections especially in the 1948 Senate race from Texas where Landslide Lyndon won thanks to 202 extra votes found for him in the town of Alice in Box 13.]

Weren't reporters booted from one of the vote tabulation places? Was there an explanation for that?

[Yes. Their incessant farting became unbearable so they were booted.]

very fishy circumstances, long neocon history of fraud. Hence, fraud until proven otherwise, since there are big red flags of fraud.

[Hence, Republicans are GUILTY of fraud until proven otherwise.]

Yes every election we lose is stolen.

[That’s it. The very fact that you lose is PROOF of fraud.]

I would suggest that every election - win lose or draw - be called stolen until such time as voter-verified paper balloting is implemented.

[Except when Democrats win.]

I'm not following the story, at all, but I no longer believe any election at face value. Sad, but true. We're completely f***** here in the USA, where are votes are corporate secrets.

[Did you get your Diebold Secret Decoder Ring?]

We cannot afford to be the little boy who cried wolf If we cry "We Wuz Robbed" after every election we may soon lose our credibility.

[Losing your credibility is something that already happened to the DUmmies long ago.]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-04-05 ("A Sound of Distant Thunder (regarding the September DC protest)" ---Pitt

June 16, 2005. Mark that date. It was the Day When Everything Finally Changed according to Pied Piper Pitt. Do you feel the big change? Hasn’t your life changed completely? Notice how our political system has radically changed from that date on? Ooops! Never mind. Please send that June 16 date down the memory Pitt because the Pied Piper has come up with a NEW Day When Everything Finally Changed. It is September 24 as you can see in his DUmmie THREAD melodramatically titled, “A Sound of Distant Thunder (regarding the September DC protest).” I like that typical hyperbolic touch there with “A Sound of Distant Thunder.” So typically Pitt with not an ounce of Witt. Yes, the trademark bloated self-important Pitt style is always great for laughs which is why he is so often featured here in the DUmmie FUnnies. Of course, Pitt always relies on the fact that his readers have SHORT memories which will come in handy when he dreams up yet ANOTHER New Day When Everything Finally Changed. This is not to be confused with the ORIGINAL New Day When Everything Finally Changed. Don’t you all remember that date? It was the day in early 1980 when the USA beat the Soviet Union at Olympic Ice Hockey and the fans started screaming “USA! USA!” According to Pitt it was this outburst on the ORIGINAL New Day When Everything Finally Changed when the Third American Empire was born. So sit back and enjoy the entertaining comedy act presented by Pitt and his company of DUmmie entertainers in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if there will be a Day When Pitt Finally Changed His Overly Melodramatic Shtick (and underwear), is in the [brackets]:

A Sound of Distant Thunder (regarding the September DC protest)

[Followed by A Sound of Drizzling Rain. Sorry to rain on your parade, Pitt, but we always find your breathless self-important melodramatic style highly entertaining in a comedic way. Please continue with your hyperbole…]

“I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.”--Thomas Paine

[“Brevity is the soul of wit.”---William Shakespeare]

It seems a million years hence that I stood upon the steps of the Capitol Building in May of 2001 with thousands of other activists to protest the illegitimate delivery of the presidency to George W. Bush. This was the first significant demonstration against the Bush administration to take place in Washington DC, but it was not the last. I remember listening to the words of Ronnie Dugger, founder of the Alliance for Democracy, as he raged into the microphone. “We will label these four years of Bush illegitimacy as the Lawless Years,” declared Dugger, “the tyranny in American history, the Tyrannical Interlude.”

[The Tyrannical Interlude When Everything Finally Changed… We know you are only getting warmed up now, Pitt, so let go with all hyperbolic pistons in motion.]

It is difficult to quantify, now that more than 1,500 days of lawlessness have passed, how correct Dugger was when he spoke those words. History will place these days of darkness we have endured among the most corrupt, base, senseless, blood-soaked passages of time ever endured since the birth of this republic. Beyond the brazen smash-and-grab robbery of our tax dollars that has taken place in the Treasury Department, beyond the rising smiley-faced fascism we have watched rising in every corner of the nation, beyond the lies repeated daily without fear of accountability, there is the body count.

[Beyond all the Pitt blather, beyond the Day When Everything Finally Changed, beyond the NEW Day When Everything Finally Changed, beyond beyond the New Day When…]

Three thousand souls on a bright Tuesday morning, who would be alive but for the negligence and staggering ineptitude of those tasked to stand the watch, have been used deliberately and with intent as an excuse to deliver tens and tens and tens of thousands more innocents to the dust of an early grave in Iraq and Afghanistan. Two thousand soldiers, almost all of them young American boys and girls, have had the life blasted out of them because they were sent by their commander in chief to find weapons of mass destruction that did not exist. Those soldiers who remain, those soldiers who have been redeployed into the war zone two or three times already, wait with grim resolve to be brought home to their families whole and sane and safe.

[I guess this puts you in the LIHOP (Let It Happen On Purpose) camp, Pitt. Of course, NOT a word from Pitt about who ACTUALLY committed the attacks on 9-11. It is just NOT politically correct among the Left to blame the Al-Qaeda terrorists. Oops! I forgot their lingo. I mean the Al-Qaeda “insurgents.”]

The occupation of Iraq is almost a thousand days old now, and as the self-serving justifications for invasion wither in the desert sun, as the neo-conservative “Bush Doctrine” collapses in a swelling flood of blood and total failure, as more and more people see impeachment as a moral necessity, as those who stand in opposition wonder what they can do to thwart a corrupt and crazed administration that exists entirely without checks and balances, there remains one act of defiance and strength and solidarity which cannot be ignored.

[Don’t keep us in suspense any longer, Pitt. Please inform us mere peons from your Olympian heights as to what exactly what is this “one act of defiance and strength and solidarity which cannot be ignored.”]

We take it to the streets. All of us.

[Been there. Done that. And this is the BEST you can come up with, Pitt?]

On Saturday, September 24th, there will be a protest in Washington DC. This gathering must dwarf all previous demonstrations against this administration, must be larger than all previous protests combined, must fill every street and every avenue and every inch of space, until the city itself and the nation entire is forced to stop, and turn its face to our faces, and hear the truth. You must be there. You must bring your friends, your family, your neighbors. It is a moral imperative.

[My estimate is that this demonstration will be smaller than the Million Mom March Discounted Down to the Six Thousand Mom March.]

That weekend will see far more than a protest. On the 25th, Progressive Democrats of America will host a wide-ranging strategy session at the David A. Clarke School of Law on Connecticut Avenue. The purpose of this gathering will be to prepare progressive legislative and electoral strategies for the 2006 midterm elections. PDA activists from all across the country will be in attendance. Speakers at this event will include long-time activist Tom Hayden and voting rights advocate John Bonifaz.

[Please C-SPAN. Please cover this event. I always like watching good comedy on weekends. And the Left-Wing Wackos are reliable comedians. Plus letting the public see the TRUE face of the Left is always informative since the MSM can be relied on to edit OUT coverage of the wackos who are at the core of the Left.]

On Monday the 26th, Progressive Democrats of America, working in concert with United for Peace and Justice, will send a battalion of activists up and down the halls of the House of Representatives to lobby congresspeople to demand a withdrawal of troops from Iraq. We will, quite simply, not take no for an answer, and we will have the wind of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of protestors at our backs.

[Will the PDA battalion do battle with the DUmmie Action Corps DUAC DAUCs? Too bad I won’t be there that day because I would love to follow Pitt around with a copy of his OWN laughable Third American Empire essay. Right after he talks to a member of Congress, I would merely hand that member a copy of Pitt’s essay. It is the equivalent of circling your finger next to your head to indicate that someone is loony.]

Let the word go forth from this time and place that the progressive movement in America does not accept failure as an option, that the streets of Washington DC will be ours come the close of September, that we are the ones we have been waiting for, and that our time is now. Be there with us. Stand and be true.

[LOL!!! Nice touch there doing a bit of faux JFK with the “Let the word go forth from this time and place” shtick. Now let us be royally entertained by your fellow DUmmies, Pitt.]

Great job Will

[Great job, Will. Let the word go forth from this time and place that your comedy is ALWAYS highly entertaining.]

Have to make arrangements for cats and dogs, but my kid and I will be there!

[Apparently your cats and dogs have more sense. They are staying away.]

Paper ballots NOW!

Hand counts NOW!

Impeachment NOW!!!

[Mental health NOW!]

Bringing my entire family. Here is what my children said when we first talked about going, (note: they watched the inauguration on c-span): 7 year old: "But Mom bu$h will throw us in jail" ; 8 year old : "No he will only have them spray us with pepper spray". (I told them they could bring their snow board googles).

[Snow board “googles” won’t help when the EVIL Bushitas line you up along the firing squad wall.]

I'll be there - and I took the whole following week off in case of arrest, or excessive partying, or whatever

[…hitting the crack pipe, or whatever…]

I'll be here. Since I live here and all. The marches have gotten smaller and smaller since the war started, and that sucks. Please y'all, help reverse this trend.

[Methinks that is a trend that will continue on Sept. 24.]

I hope this declaration sees wide circulation. Thank you.

[It will---thanks to the DUmmie FUnnies. Hee! Hee!]

F*ck it. I'm going. I'm taking Friday off and heading to DC. I have never been so pissed off in my life at a politician. That sonofabitch makes me miss REAGAN for shit'ssake!

[A little revisionism there since you hated Reagan with equal fervor. I bet you start cursing when you land at the airport and see the name “Ronald Reagan” on it.]

Booked my airline tickets today. Not only will this be a first time protest for me about anything, it'll also be my visit to Washington, DC. I am so looking forward to it.

[You won’t be when you notice that you will be landing at the RONALD REAGAN Washington National Airport.]

FYI everybody, Southwest has a special on fares through thursday on thier website, you'd have to fly into Baltimore instead of St Reagan airport, but maybe a few more people can make it that way.

[Anything to avoid having to land at the RONALD REAGAN Washington National airport.]

The American majority is PROGRESSIVE and PEACE-LOVING. And that majority has been DISENFRANCHISED.

[DISENFRANCHISED by the minor technical detail of losing elections.]

I'm Going To Be In Japan. Bummer...

[The Bad News Bears Go To Japan.]

I am going to be there, just found a room . All I need now is a cheap airline ticket, any help on this.

[Translation: I found a cardboard box. All I need now is for some sucker to front me $$$ for an airline ticket.]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-03-05 (DUmmies Claim Election Fraud In Ohio...Again)

The DUmmies are complaining about an election stolen in Ohio. No, I’m not talking about the Presidential election results in Ohio of last November. I am referring to the congressional election last night of a Republican from a heavily Republican district. Therefore it is NO surprise that Republican Jean Schmidt won over Democrat (although he pretended he wasn’t) Paul Hackett. However, I knew for at least a week that I would be doing a DUmmie FUnnies edition the morning following the election about outraged DUmmies claiming vote fraud AGAIN in Ohio as you can see in this THREAD titled, “Another Republican upset 'win' at 52-48?” If the DUmmies would actually open their minds (a BIG assumption) they would notice that the only election fraud was that committed by their own candidate, Hackett, who fraudulently made it seem in his TV commercial that he was a Bush supporter in the way he used a Bush soundbite at the beginning of the commercial. In REAL LIFE, Hackett called Bush an SOB and the biggest threat to America while simultaneously trying to FOOL the voters of the 2nd Ohio congressional district that he supports the President. So if the DUmmies want to look for REAL vote fraud, there it is. Oh, and THANKS to Rush Limbaugh for completely EXPOSING this Hackett fraud yesterday by continually playing the audio of the FRAUDULENT commercial. It was a close election and I think Rush made the difference by revealing the TRUTH. As usual, the DUmmie rantings looking for vote fraud in all the wrong places are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if he should use a soundbite of Howard Dean in a commercial for a DUFU book to make it appear that he endorses it, is in the [brackets]:

Another Republican upset 'win' at 52-48?

[It would have been a 48-52 Republican loss except for the fact that the Diebold machines were pre-set.]

I have to call BULL.SHIT. I don't believe it after witnessing the unlimited amount of cheating, lying and dishonesty that has occured by many Republican leaders in every single level of governing. How and why would we put faith in those that cheat consistently? Such is the logic of fools.
Why would we assume this election was legitimate when noticing the consistent patterns in these Republican "upsets"? So it perhaps could be that Schmidt won, how can we feel confident in a legitimate win for her when the Republican owned companies conveniently handle the ballot data? In addition, the elephant in the living room is the reality that there is NO way to be fully sure of the outcome, due to those who have had the ballot data in their possession. How many 'questionable' Republican victories have consistently been this close so as to slip under the alarm signal? When are we going to face the fact that we are seeing a pattern? Are we going to sit back and ignore the pattern that is desperately trying to tell us something? A pattern that, I believe at the very least should be telling our leaders to quit being cowards, start speaking out and help us to take our elections back.

[The only pattern I see is the PREDICTABILITY of your election fraud gripe. Which reminds me. Why don’t you copy your rant and paste it in the Election ’06 thread next year when you will have exactly the SAME crybaby response in response to the election results?]

How was it an upset? Was there a single poll that showed Hackett leading at any point?

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

The smart money is on why Claremont had to be hand counted...and what happened. The race was neck and neck until the last county (Claremont)was to be counted, then things stop and the machines won't work. Legitimate problem? or convenient excuse? At the end of the hand recount, instead of being dead even, Hackett loses by 4%. There may be a reason for the machines having problems (they claim it was lack of air conditioning). There is an easier explanation for what happened. This is a Republican area but there is a heavy democratic part, where the auto plant workers live. When did their votes get counted? Pretty interesting stuff. You can never trust an election in Ohio after 2004. I don't think there were any recent non partisan polls. Nevertheless, since the last guy out for us lost by 70-30% or something like that, it would have been an upset if Hackett won. But, if they pilfered it, another Ohio special, then "upset" doesn't apply unless you're talking about how people will feel if that's found out. Too early to call. The Cincy Inquirer, a Republican paper, referred to the "apparent victory" of the incumbent. That's about the only appropriate terminology until we know what really happened in Claremont.

[Hmm… Wasn’t Karl Rove spotted exiting a Kinko’s in Claremont?]

Yes. Actually, he was leading for most of the night. It went back and forth a little, but he had a small lead for most of the time.....Until the "humidity" ruined the machines in the ugly crone's home county, that is

[The humidity messed up the pre-settings on the Diebold machines. Therefore a more traditional way of stuffing the ballot had to be used at the last minute.]

I dont understand,were votes ruined,cast aside,thrown out ,not counted ,disregarded..if so,how many and were they democratic votes,Deibold has a history of theft,cheating and win by all means..

[DIEBOLD!!! SLOOOOWWWLY I TURNED! STEP BY STEP…]

I completely agree with you. And Paul Hackett should be very proud of the campaign he waged. The fact that it was THIS close in a very Republican district should alarm the RNC.

[It should alert the RNC to Democrat trickery such as when Hackett PRETENDED to be a big Bush supporter in his commercials while slamming Bush for being an SOB and the biggest threat in America. Jean Schmidt was, unfortunately, too polite to take him on about that. It took Rush Limbaugh to expose the Hackett fraud.]

I do agree with you in that I don't know how we can put our faith in the election system in general, since I think that voter irregularities are rampant in our system. And fixing elections, historically, is nothing new to America. So I understand your frustration with the voting system in its entirety.

[The best thing you can do is spare yourself the aggravation and sit out the ’06 election since the Diebold results are already pre-set.]

Democrats will NEVER win another election until we get rid of the Corrupt Republican Run Corporations that Count the Votes. It's time to stop whining, and get back to work, we need to see some "Perp Walks!"

[How about a Perp Walk by Teddy for leaving the scene of an accident that he caused?]

"none dare call it stolen" It was rigged, and our "fearless leaders" are just rolling over again.

[I am rolling over in laughter at your utterly predictable, yet laughable, reaction to this election.]

Please don't let your paranoid fantasies get in the way of the facts

[SHUT UP you LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!! Paranoid fantasies by the DUmmies are the bread and butter of the DUmmie FUnnies.]

Dolstein, quit projecting your own paranoia. If you want to believe this election is legitimate, you keep believing in the tooth fairy and the Republicans are counting fairly as they count the ballots THEMSELVES. I will say this election will be considered legitimate when it is proven. And there is no way to prove it, which is the main problem, and which seems to be why Democrats conveniently keep getting hit with these 'upsets'.

[Yeah, Dolstein. Quit projecting your own paranoia about our own paranoia over the election being stolen.]

But Dolstien, when there is no Paper Trail How can their be ANY EVIDENCE? When you can't see the source code of the machines, because they are owned by PRIVATE CORPORATIONS, making the code proprietary, You can't SEE any evidence. What do you think the whole point of HAVING these machines in the First Place IS? SO THERE IS NO DISCERNIBLE EVIDENCE. You might call it the perfect crime. And that is the problem. Until it is addressed, there will never be another Free and Fair Election in this country. I do not care if you do not wish to believe it. I do not care if you choose to be blind to it. That is the reality.This country is NOT salvageable through the Electoral Process any longer. The Machines have taken that option away. If you truly believe that nonsense about "humidity", then you are truly in denial. Nothing personal against you, and nothing derogatory meant, by all means, but I'm sorry, that story is nonsense and so blatant as to be juvenile. They are openly committing fraud and rubbing our faces in it because they can.

[Thank you for allowing me to rub your face in it here in the DUmmie FUnnies.]

maybe Hackett lost . . . then again, maybe he didn't . . . the problem is that WE'LL NEVER KNOW! . . . and we'll have the same problem with every race in 2006 and 2008 . . .

[As I stated earlier; spare yourself the aggravation and just sit out those elections.]

Before the central tabulators went down, the Democrat was leading.
When they came back up, the Repuke was ahead. SOS.

Just like they did in 2000.

Just like they did in 2002.

Just like they did in 2004

Just like they did in Ohio last night.

And it will happen again in 2006.

Count on it.

It's who counts the votes.

[WE count the votes.

Just like we will in 2008.

Hee! Hee!]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-02-05 ("Democrats must understand that American people are dumb and ignorant")

It has been common knowledge for quite some time that the Democrats have a completely condescending attitude towards the general public. Therefore we thank the DUmmies for actually spelling out this attitude in this THREAD titled, “Democrats must understand that American people are dumb and ignorant.” This is the condescending attitude that almost all professional Democrat politicians have. They think that the American public is just too STUPID to understand the “enlightened” socialistic programs that the Democrats propose and thus ignorantly vote for the Republicans as a result. As a result the Democrats HATE the electorate. This is why they try to stack the Supreme Court with far left liberals. It is the only way they can bypass the legislative process and rule by liberal judicial decree. As usual the condescending DUmmie rantings are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, aspiring to be enlightened by Hillary, is in the [brackets]:

Democrats must understand that American people are dumb and ignorant

[WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!!]

Not meant as a putdown, but stated as a fact. And when they talk to the "American people", they need to speak to them in much simpler laguage. A very small percentage really understands intellectual discussion of the issues. They want it put on a bumpersticker for them. It does no good for our candidates to come out with a 12-step program to get our economy going again. Democrats need to re-learn language. They need to learn to talk with the people like they are in the first grade. Don't confuse them or waste their time with "political" talk.

[Please don’t confuse them with the facts. Speak to them in Pidgin English and use simple hand puppets to explain things to them because they can’t understand complex thoughts.]

I used to didn't think so....But when the average to poor people continue to help put Republicans in office who don't even know that they exist....it really makes you stop and think...

[It makes you stop and think that we should just abolish the electoral process and appoint Democrat politicians for life.]

Yep, that's signature Rove. If you have trouble, please just refer to the same three talking points on these three cards and repeat over and over again. The smart will catch on to you, but your base won't.

[Rove is keeping us all in the dark. No way to find out what is really going on unless you are enlightened like the DUmmies.]

Americans are lazy. They buy what they're told to; listen to the music spoon fed them by morons in the radio biz; watch the movies the suits n ties tell them to watch and actually believe that talking heads on teevee are reliable sources of genuine truth, news and information. Americans don't READ. They don't apply logic, they don't discern; they have no critical thought process... they simply take the easy way out, and now, thanks to that apathy, we have the new hitler in the white house controlled by the New Americanazis in the republican party.

[We are simply TOO STUPID to appreciate the enlightened Democrats. PLEASE FORGIVE US!!!]

I've deal with the public on a daily basis. People really aren't dumb just completely ignorant of the big picture. They fail to see how what happens in the world affects them and future generations. To be intellectual takes too much energy. They just think that someone else will fix the problems of the world. Also, they are quite selfish in thinking that they don't need to worry about world hunger, environmental disaster, and general strife because they are fine, relatively speaking, where they are. It is quite pathetic really.

[“I’ve deal…” Speaking of ignorance, perhaps you need to enlighten yourself about some grammatical points.]

It's a waste of time to talk to the willfully ignorant. They don't want to know.

[Perhaps we could abolish the right to vote by “willfully ignorant” people. DUmmie committees could be set up to determine who is “enlightened” enough to vote. Perhaps that could be the next DUmmie Action Corps project. DUAC! DUAC!]

But *WHY* are they Bush supporters? They weren't born that way. It's not instinctual. So what is it that persuades them? We can be sure upfront that it's lies, whatever it is, but what is it? And what makes if persuasive?

[Blame it on Rush. He has turned us into mind-numbed robots who blindly need to be instructed on what to think by him.]

Dude where have you been sleeping. Listen to talk radio and hear what garbage is fed to these people. They vote the way they do because Thugs far smarter and evil than they are manipulate them.

[Help me! Am being manipulated by evil talk radio show hosts. HELP!]

Unfortunately, speaking English on a level above third grade to the "average american" seems to leave most English speaking people (51% anyway) in a daze. Then they call the speaker an elitist. America, the land of stupidmotherf*ckers.

[“America, the land of stupidmotherf*ckers.” May we use that as the motto of the next Democrat convention?]

Don't know when the dumbing down started. During the very immediate "Post-Sputnik" era of the late 1950's schools seemed to be toughening up. Some time in the Viet-Nam "Grade Inflation" era and the "Whole Child" era we entered into a dumbing down of the schools.

[Please direct your complaint to the NEA who supported the latter educational programs.]

How does one get in touch with Dr. Dean? I'd love to have a conversation with him on topics such as this. I wonder what Hillary thinks? If we don't deal with this fact then we, as Democratic Progressives, are going to be living with the DoDo, imho.

[Dr. Dean and Hillary agree with you. They also condescendingly believe that the American people are dumb and ignorant.]

I don't doubt that most union people know what's going on...but what percentage is that? BUT I sincerely doubt that the Walmart employees and other Nascar afficianados are as aware as your union brothers and sisters?

[Walmart employees and NASCAR fans are automatically unenlightened according to the DUmmie mantra.]

Part of the problem is the attention span of many Americans. Watch most music videos,movies,commercials,TV shows and its mostly "quick cuts".Just for the fun of it,count how many seconds between each shot.Most of the time its 2 seconds at best.

[You’ve just described the target audience of Gore TV.]

Or maybe the problem is that many Americans feel that Democrats look down their noses at them.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

it's almost as if the education system was meant to manufacture retards. Seriously. Rote drill can (and should) bolt down arithmetic in one year or less. What are the schools doing repeating this process for a decade or more instead of algebra, calculus, and so on? History books superficially cover the American Revolution and a litany of presidents' names, and never actually cover e.g. the rest of the world, European history, Asian history, etc. Foreign language education is maybe a year or two in high school, if even that, when psychology has known for decades that foreign language education is far more successful in earlier childhood and when sustained for much longer. "Literature" consists of maybe "Shakespeare's Greatest Hits" and Uncle Tom's Cabin, then maybe a couple of "book reviews" of Stephen King and Tom Clancy -like affairs, if even that much.

[Again. Refer your complaints to the NEA.]

Typical DU elitism. Absolute bullshit. How about this: You're f*cking dumb and ignorant. Like that?

[Your Kewpie Doll is in the mail.]

Democrats must understand that blanket statements will get them killed.

[Especially after they are headlined in the DUmmie FUnnies. Hee! Hee!]

Most of our animals are dumb and ignorant and we still love them..

[Sniff! It makes us all warm and fuzzy to know you still wuv us despite the fact that we’re dumb and ignorant.]

We try to treat voters as informed and wise about the issues. Is that a mistake? I think it is. We need to simplify our language. We need to dumb it down. Call it whatever makes us feel better.

[Democrats need to talk to the Dumb and DUmber aka talking to themselves.]

Bumper sticker answers are all that most will listen to.

[Apparently they didn’t listen to the Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers.]

We are Fragmented, Infiltrated, and Confused ....What is missing is a Coalescing Force/System/Org that speaks/acts/plans for we Dems. Made up of Grass Roots and volunteers...the Org would do well to do what the Pubs did...recruit and train.....We Dems have not done our Homework. We are missing the concept, the plan, the thought, the implementation...of a bullet proof plan. A Bullet proof plan means its all good.....a no brainer. The Dems need to search their Hearts and come to terms with the Biggest Challenge for ManKind...How to get with a plan to save ourselves from the Lunacy called Conservatism...that means we gatta get past the what and focus on the HOW

[Okay, let us focus on the HOW. HOW can you make a dopey post like that which talks about “a Coalescing Force/System/Org that speaks/acts/plans” and yet call US dumb and ignorant?]

The HOW consists of forming a Plan to Coalese in a geometric way

[Uh…Thank you for that clarification. I think.]

Never, never, NEVER say anything that implies, directly or indirectly, that Americans are dumb and ignorant. Never. Just don't do it. Even talking "over our heads" will make people think you're pulling a scam.

[Psst! Don’t worry! Your little secret is SAFE with me. I’ll never let other folks know that you think that Americans are dumb and ignorant. Mums da word!]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-01-05 ("Could Al Franken get any more annoying?")

Is there anything strange in the drinking water? I have to ask because the DUmmies must be drinking something that has allowed them to express their antipathy towards a second liberal Al within a day. This morning the DUmmies were irked at Al Gore’s dopey new channel and now they are flaming Al Franken as you can see in this THREAD titled, “Could Al Franken get any more annoying?” At this rate, I might have to issue mass prizes of Kewpie Dolls to the DUmmies for having brief moments of mental clarity. Yes, the DUmmies can no longer avoid the fact that Al Franken is BOOORRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!!! They avoided this criticism last year because they hoped Franken would help them defeat the EVIL Bush regime. However, even the DUmmies can no longer face the daily tedium served up by him. On a personal note, I tuned in to the “BEST OF" Al Franken last week after a long and merciful hiatus. What I heard astonished me. They COULDN’T even come up with anything interesting even though Err America had plenty of Al Franken shows to choose from. The average person listening in for the first time must correctly figure the regular Al Franken show must suck bigtime if the “BEST OF” shows were so deadly dull. The surprising quotes containing nuggets of mental clarity by the DUmmies are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, preparing a mass mailing of Kewpie Dolls to the DUmmies, is in the [brackets]:

Could Al Franken get any more annoying?

[That would be difficult but I know for sure that Al Franken can’t get any more boring.]

I've had it with his show. I like him as a person, a comedian and as an author - I bought his two books and thoroughly enjoyed them both, but his radio show is almost totally unlistenable. He spends much of his time dissecting O'Reilly's various boobs and blunders, but the thing is, he repeats and repeats and repeats the stuff over and over again as if we hadn't got the point in the first place. The "Oy Oy Oy Show" is neither funny nor enlightening. And today he brought out the concept of a slide whistle to illustrate the percentage of unemployed since the 70's. You get the idea - the note was low for a low unemployment rate and slid higher as the rate went up. It was the most unbelieveably dire piece-of-shit radio I have ever heard. I feel sorry for his co-host, because she has to rein him in the whole time, telling him when the commercial breaks are due, and basically shutting him up when he's waffling.

[Perhaps Err America could use your accurate Franken quote as a promo for that show: “It was the most unbelieveably dire piece-of-shit radio I have ever heard.”]

I can't listen to him, either. At first, I found Malloy annoying but grew to like him because he actually makes points and doesn't belabor the same thing over and over again, as Al F. does. Some of thse folks grow on you. Al F is not one of them.

[Al Franken grew on me like a fungus in my ears.]

when the slide whistle comes out the show has, for a better phrase, "jumped the shark".

[I think the Al Franken show jumped the shark with his first vowel uttered on the air.]

Ah, remember the good ol' days....when Al was writing for SNL, and the skits would go on for about 20 minutes past the point when they cesaed being funny? The "Oy Oy OY Show" makes me want to punch myself in the face.

[Oy! Be my guest. Break your own nose.]

This is what happens when you are a "big name". You get to suck and nobody calls you on it. It's not his talent that keeps him in that seat, it's his name. Live radio is not where he belongs.

[Al Franken doesn’t even belong on dead radio with NO signal. He’s that boring.]

I don't listen to Randi either. She gets on my nerves.

[You’re in the running to receive TWO Kewpie dolls.]

AAR is broken. I only listen to Rachel Maddow from the podcast..I agree, I am beginning to dislike Al Franken's show too (oh no). Jerry Springer, bleech. Randi Rhodes sucks too. The Majority Report is difficult to listen to, too many jokes. Mike Malloy is nazi this, and nazi that. Not only that I no longer have it on Sirius. Whether it's Sirius's fault or AAR's fault, I don't care. It is almost a blessing now.

[That post deserves SEVERAL Kewpie dolls.]

AAR not broken. To the extent that they are kicking ass in the ratings, they are achieving much more than anybody could have predicted.

[What Alternate Reality are you living in? The ratings show that Err America is in the toilet. Not only that they scammed almost a million bucks from the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club.]

I will agree with you that you need someone a little more dynamic to compete with Rush Limbaugh in his time slot, though.

[The FUnniest thing about the decline of Al Franken in the eyes of the DUmmies is that he was once touted as the liberal who could defeat Rush Limbaugh in the ratings.]

He gets on my nerves, too. His skits are bad his analsis is okay, as long as he doesn't have an opponent (he got killed today by Christopher Hitchens in the part i heard) but his skits are usually third rate and overly predictable. The oy oy oy thingie is a waste of airtime. ANd that dittohead thing just pisses me off.

[Your ringing endorsement of Al Franken is greatly appreciated.]

I turned off the slide whistle today too. The vaudeville skits get old very quickly. I know a lot of people like her but to me, Lanpher is like somebody blowing a slidewhistle while they scratch a chalkboard. I just hope he doesn't mess up when he runs for Senate against Normie in 08.

[All Normie has to do to defeat him in a landslide is play the “Best Of” Al Franken shows on the air.]

Franken is biding his time until he runs for the senate...BUT...they should cancel his show....It is HIDEOUS and you get very little info from him...he IS obsessed with O'Reilly and Loonbaugh..

[BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! The headliner show on Err America and it is so crappy that even a leftwing DUmmie calls it HIDEOUS.]

In some ways he reminds me of Billy Crystal. Still thinks schtick from an era past is boffo comedy.

[The OY OY OY Show was relevant shtick…in 1932.]

I turned him off months ago, when he kept blathering on and on and on about Social Security after it was already a dead issue. He is pathetic and hopeless, and his co-host should sue for defamation of character -- he uses her as a shrew. He works, at most, only 3 weeks or so a month (if you want to call it working) and lots of days can't seem to thread three sentences together. He interrupts his intelligent, informed, articulate guests with ums and ahs, and then has the gall to eat while on the air. And he wants to be a senator? Well, come to think of it ...
His show is probably the worst on AAR.

[“Pathetic and Hopeless.” Another promo that should be used by Err America when promoting the Al Franken show.]

I stopped listening to him when... he gave his audience the holiday gift of reading passages of his book out loud. Yeah. What a treat - 3 hours of "Lies and lying liars" excerpts... I'd rather listen to paint dry. THat coupled with his annoying habit of eating while on the air and Catherine Lampher's glass breaking cackle... I just can't listen anymore.

[If you would rather hear paint dry, perhaps you should tune in Gore TV.]

Annoying? Yes. He`s like fingernails on a chalkboard. For the life of me, I can not understand why Franken wastes so much valuable time with crap like the "Oy Oy Oy Show" or those grueling interviews with his buddy, the Limbaugh Ditto Head. Maybe it`s just me, but I think we`re in serious, deep doo-doo, the kind that requires some heavy-duty action a few notches above Franken`s exercise in self-indulgence.

[Perhaps that should be the title of a book about Al Franken’s radio career: “He’s Like Fingernails On A Chalkboard.”]

Can't stand the Oy Oy Oy Show.
I tend to agree with everything you said. I listen to him occasionally because, well...at that time of day he's about the only thing on talk radio that's bearable.

[I knew we could get at least one positive comment about the Al Franken Show.]

I haven't listened to him in months...for pretty much all the reasons that you stated. I tune in on rare occasions and the show just seems to be stuck in a rut. The little personalized songs that he uses for certain guests were funny and cute ages ago. They are just annoying now and I think they eat up too much time that could be used for actually talking with the person before their time runs out. I also got tired of Franken interjecting goofy remarks into interviews when the interviewee was trying to be serious. I know he's a comedian but still. The only time Franken would seem to get downright serious (almost relentlessly so) was when talking about Social Security and taxes. I know that those are serious subject but they can also be terribly dry. Some humor could come in handy during those talks.
Anyway, I haven't really been able to listen to his show for more than a few minutes at a time for months now.

[You’re able to tolerate Al Franken better than most who can only listen to him for a few seconds at a time.]

He has no concept, no clue at all, of how to host a listenable, interesting, thought-provoking radio program.

[So when will Al Franken beat Rush in the ratings as was so repetitively promised with much fanfare last year?]

Franken is tedious, repetitive and ingratiating not to mention self-absorbed, uninteresting, breaks no new ground and unfunny. interrupts his guests incessantly, thinking his words to be far more interesting than what they might have to offer. Why doesn't he just interview himself?

[Interview himself? Isn’t that a form of self-abuse?]

The annoying thing about The Al Franken show is that he wastes so much of the show time. If he is not stuttering and saying "uhhhh" a 1000 times before he spits out what he is bumbling, he is babbling about stuff no one cares about. There are just so many dumb skits that are not that funny.

[Hey! The wasted time lasts only for three hours. The rest of Franken’s show is great!]

DUmmie FUnnies 08-01-05 ("Al Gore TV starts at midnight Eastern time")

Al Gore TV (“Current”) has been airing since midnight today and the consensus on it is already in over at Dummieland---this channel is the biggest FLOP since the launch of The Huffington Post back in May. And you KNOW if the DUmmies think Gore TV sucks then it must really be horrible. After all, the DUmmies will give their erstwhile hero, Al Gore, a lot of leeway but even they can’t stomach his new TV channel as you can see in this THREAD titled, “Al Gore TV starts at midnight Eastern time.” The problem with Gore TV, other than the obvious ones as sheer boredom (“goredom”) is that it is already obsolete at birth. Since Al Gore invented the Internet I am surprised he hasn’t heard of Vodcasting which allows surfers to pick and choose their own video shows. So let us now view the DUmmie dissapointment with Gore TV in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, currently thinking of ideas for a DUmmie FUnnies Vodcast, is in the [brackets]:

Al Gore TV starts at midnight Eastern time.

[Watch paint dry at midnight Eastern time.]

Should be on now. I don't have cable. Can someone tune in and give us feeback?

[If they can wake up, they will.]

So far it's been on for four minutes, and the picture has frozen twice. It's also incoherent, what little I've seen.

[Al Gore TV sounds like it is taking its cue from Al Gore.]

They started out with Google, then something about a 911 call in Arizona, then a frozen picture parodying Six Feet Under that was titled "Family Plots," then the beginning of some video about a guy who has these women approve his girlfriends, then another frozen picture, and now we've got a test pattern.

[The test pattern was the most interesting segment.]

Oops, now it's back to Google. Starting over 6 minutes late.

[And 537 chads short.]

Not a promising start. You'd think they could at least get somebody who was technically competent, you know, like someone who had run the board at a TV station before.

[Al Gore TV is just $10 away from technical competency.]

Keep us informed with the play-by-play. Now how is it going?

[Al Gore just demanded a recount on his Nielsen ratings.]

I wonder if this channel will be added to the Cablevision line-up here in DC?

[It will be if it ever gets better ratings than a test pattern.]

Eric J's gonna be a cable boy, a cable boy, a cable boy. What have you done to my little cable boy?

[Turned him into your little cable boy toy.]

Just tuned in. I still can't explain to people in two sentences what this network is all about. The whole concept strikes me as directionless and confusing.

[Directionless and confusing. Also a good description of the Democrat Party Platform.]

Video about some guy who is jumping off a cliff in a parachute. I keep waiting for them to end up plugging some brand of beer. That's the style of video it is.

[Any more response like this and you will soon be watching a video of Al Gore jumping off a cliff WITHOUT a parachute.]

What's that nonsense in the intro to the Japan video about Japanese youth not being free to choose their university, their job, or whom to marry? Arranged marriages were on their way out thirty years ago. The video itself is about suicide in Japan, and the rate is indeed high, but that's not exactly news.

[Not nearly as high as the suicide rate among DUmmies right after the next election.]

If this format isn't popular, maybe they will do something more traditional with the channel.

[Broadcasting a test pattern 24/7 would be an improvement.]

I fear that when they "reach out" to the "young people" they present the message as patronizing and condescending.. Just report the truth, and present opinions that are currently not being aired.. the "young people" already have plenty of options to be "entertained". they need to have a place to innoculate them from Fox/MSM news..that's all.. We don't "need" another reality station with chopped up vignettes and silliness..

[“Patronizing and condescending.” Are you describing Gore TV or the Democrat Party?]

The line up looks really good! Deepak Chopra, egg donors, a woman minister, Iranian youth…

[…water evaporation…]

I was reading the site earlier and this looks like a training wheels concept for participatory democracy. I wish them every success.

[Apparently one of the wheels already came loose.]

In 2000. I e-mailed Gore and told him if he wanted to win he would need
to buy a TV station.You think he ever read my e-mail.

[I doubt he even spent a cent on Al Gore TV. This pretty much sounds like others spent the money and did all the work. Al Gore only lent his name to get it publicity.]

Kind of looks like it with the promotional video by the rock group. Now Deepak Chopra. Given that MTV does everything but play music these days, yeah, it's sort of like MTV. And Deepak Chopra is giving vague answers to vague questions.

[Are you sure you weren’t watching a Hillary press conference?]

I don;t seem to be able to stream it

[When you finish up with your 6-pack of beer I think you will be able to stream easily.]

The program list is online,; they're not doing a webstream

[I find that surprising since Al Gore invented the Internet.]

If you don't have digital cable, you can't get it, but frankly, you aren't missing much. It seems self-consciously "youth-oriented."

[It’s starting to sound like Gore TV is nothing more than MTV with the technician asleep at the board.]

Ack, site wants personal info just to find a local channel! Wants my name, address, DOB, phone and email just to give me a channel to watch it on. Pfffft I think not!

[Why not? Don’t you need more SPAM in your life?]

Misleading website for Curremt. Their site lists my provider but...when I go through the process I find out its not available on my cable. Good thing I gave them bogus info. I still say pffft on them for requiring personal info.

[Bogus info for Bogus “breakthru” TV.]

Currents little msg after they wanted my info stated it was not available. Not a very good start with me personally. First they want personal information to give me the channel my provider which they had on their list and then I find out its all a ruse. My provider does not even offer their channel. Heck no, I am not going to contact my provider and try to drum up business for Current. They need to re-examine their deceptive business tactics.

[Perhaps you also need to give them your credit card number. Their business office in Nigeria needs that info to provide you with Gore TV.

I hope they soon get internet streaming going

[Um…if you can get this stuff on the Internet, then why bother with Gore TV? That is why the Gore TV concept is obsolete at birth.]

what a waste of airtime

[One of the better reviews for Gore TV.]

Seems like a magazine/lifestyle show on...going after the "MTV generation".

[With the technician asleep at the board.]

Looks Like MTV News. Definitely not geared for a 50 year old. Short form...looks like indie producers. Some of the bits I saw. A report on a man who lost his mother one week and then became a father a couple weeks later in the same hospital...some sort of "circle of life" story. Another was of the sex lives of young people in Iran. Found out they have pre-marital sex in Iran and they claim there's no homosexuality. Reminds me of the weekly local independent filmmaker show on the local PBS station. No news headlines at the top of the hour (minus points). Lastly, the segment hosts looked like a casting call from Saved By The Bell. Sorry, just seems to pollyanish an approach. I'll keep monitoring for the next couple days, but I don't think this is the "media savior" people here were hoping for.

[Gore TV BETRAYED US!!!]
