GOD, PLEASE HELP!

National Preparedness MonthSeptember 2004

You've got to be kidding me!!! If this is not a political extension of the most political--and NOT policy--oriented White House in history, then what is?

P.S. I first saw this on Tom Tomorrow's site. Really, God, help us...I'm begging you here.

Say what you will about France, but, there they are: France defends troop deployment for Darfur refugees in Chad

INTERVIEW: The Return of John Sayles; From "Secaucus" to the "Sunshine State"

I saw a similar INTERVIEW with John Sayles on Now with Bill Moyers. He analyzed the current media with such savvy that I couldn't stop nodding. We no longer have journalists, just publicity agents.

30000 new jobs

30000 "new" jobs. are they sure? read this link: BLS, then read about this very imprecise adjustment know as the birth-death model. What makes it more interesting is that jobs have been revised downwards for two months running.

As always, Josh Marshall isinsightful.

What world do we live in?

Common sense might actually exist. USA Today did can, fire, throw out Ann Coulter, as the Drudge Report notes. Well, they should. Is there no cliché she doesn't latch onto? Is there no debate she avoids? Really, anyone who is as childish as she is doesn't deserve the moniker of "reporter". Don't believe me? Here's a quote from her website today:

"Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston, conservatives are deploying a series of covert signals to identify one another, much like gay men do. My allies are the ones wearing crosses or American flags. The people sporting shirts emblazened with the "F-word" are my opponents.  Also, as always, the pretty girls and cops are on my side, most of them barely able to conceal their eye-rolling."

The best part is when she starts in on her pretty girl schtick:

As for the pretty girls, I can only guess that it's because liberal boys never try to make a move on you without the UN Security Council's approval.  Plus, it's no fun riding around in those dinky little hybrid cars. My pretty-girl allies stick out like a sore thumb amongst the corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie chick pie wagons they call "women" at the Democratic National Convention.

I've slept with enough female democrats to know this isn't true. Really, now Ann. Can anyone even wonder why that bastion of liberalism, USA Today, fired her? 

The media is conservative? Yes! Read about the convention coverage here.

Maybe I should rename this blog "Ann watch" except that would probably flatter her in some demented way that should would interpret as repressed "conservative envy" on my part. Anyway, what a nut job.

Convention

Saw pretty much all the convention yesterday. Of course, Teresa's "shove it" is being overblown. Can't the news actually debate the issues? I guess I'm naive, but it would be nice to hear about what health care coverage could do for Americans rather than how it will play to the "electorate." Also, am I the only one who hates Tucker Carlson?

Let's start

Ok, so I'm starting this the first day of the DNC. I'm happy with that. It's good and the world is right, because I'm a democrat and I just want to add to the noise, or be part of the network, you know, create a link to the links that I read.
