First man: "There's a guy who lives up the street from me who used to work in construction. One day last year his hand got run over by a bulldozer. Whatever those doctors did, it's really amazing - today he's a concert pianist."

Second man: "That's nothing. I knew a guy in college - laziest bum I ever knew. He was really fat and out of shape. He was trying to hitch a ride one day and got hit by a truck. Broke nearly every damn bone in his body. Somehow they put him back together better than he was before. Now he's a triathlete and he's planning to try out for the Olympics."

Third man: "Yeah, well I knew this poor retarded kid. He couldn't do a whole lot, but someone at the dynamite factory got charitable and gave him a job as a stockboy. He was working in the warehouse one day and got locked in. It was dark and he couldn't find the door. Not being too bright, he lit a match to try to find his way. The whole place exploded. All they could find of him was a few fingers and his eyebrows. From that little bit they were able to put him back together and today that kid is the President of the USA"

JG this was an up and down show

but in between the babbling it was downright hilarious

you made me laugh out loud here in a coffee shop and EVERYONE stared at me.

Good evening my fellow Americans.

First, I want to pass on my condolences to the people of New York and all Americans that are hurting in this tragic time. You can rest assured that anything and everything that can be done to assure the safety of our country will be done. This is the greatest country in the world and we will get through this trying time. Now is the time for all people to set aside our petty differences and show the world that no one or nothing can destroy the fortitude of the American people.

To the people responsible for Tuesday's tragedy, I say this: Are you fucking kidding me? Are the turbans on your heads wrapped too tight? Have you gone too long without a bath? Do you not know who you are fucking with? Americans are so hungry to kill, that we shoot at each other every day. We will relish that opportunity for new targets for our aggression.

Have you forgotten history? What happened to the last people that started fucking around with us? Remember the little yellow bastards over in Japan? We slapped them all over the Pacific and roasted about 2 million of them in their own back yard. That's what we in America call a big ass barbecue.

Ever seen Texas on a map? Ever wonder why it's so big? Because we wanted it that way when Mexico started jacking around with the Alamo. What are they doing now? They cut our lawns.

Oh yeah remember England? We sent them packing.

Ask your buddy Saddam about fucking with the good 'ole USA. The only reason he got away the first time is because it's too hard to shoot someone when you're doubled over laughing at them. Our soldiers aren't trained to laugh and shoot at the same time. Now he couldn't stop a pack of cub scouts from taking over his shitty little country.
Trust us, Afghanistan will end up a giant kitty litter box. Go ahead and try to hide, Bin Laden. There's not a hole deep enough or a mountain high enough that's going to keep your camel-riding-ass safe. We will bomb every inch of the country that harbors him, his camps and any place that looks and even smells like he was there. Hell, we might even drop a few bombs on people that have pissed us off in the past. This is America. We kick ass. This is what we do. Go ahead and laugh now, but the Tomahawks are coming and we will smoke your sorry asses.

God bless America!

WASHINGTON -- During closed oral arguments today before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the American Civil Liberties Union challenged the government’s "radical theory" that every aspect of FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds’ case involved state secrets and therefore could not go forward. The ACLU also filed an emergency motion last night, along with other public interest groups and media outlets, challenging the court’s decision to close the courtroom to members of the press and the general public.

Edmonds, a former Middle Eastern language specialist hired by the FBI shortly after 9/11, was fired in 2002 after repeatedly reporting serious security breaches and misconduct. Edmonds challenged her retaliatory dismissal by filing a lawsuit in federal court, but her case was dismissed last July after Attorney General John Ashcroft invoked the so-called "state secrets privilege," and retroactively classified briefings to Congress related to her case.

In January 2005, after significant delay, the Justice Department released an unclassified summary of its Inspector General’s report investigating the circumstances of Edmonds’ termination. According to the summary, the Inspector General report concludes that Edmonds’ whistleblower allegations were "the most significant factor" in the FBI’s decision to terminate her.

"The Justice Department’s own Inspector General has now concluded publicly that the FBI fired Edmonds for reporting agency misconduct," said Ann Beeson, Associate Legal Director of the ACLU, who argued on behalf of Edmonds today. "Clearly the FBI is using secrecy not to protect national security but to avoid accountability for its own mistakes."

The state secrets privilege, when properly invoked, permits the government to block disclosure of evidence that would cause harm to national security. In the Edmonds case, however, the government used the privilege to urge dismissal of the entire lawsuit, insisting that every aspect of Edmonds’ case involves state secrets -- including where she was born and what languages she speaks.

The state secrets privilege has historically been rarely invoked, and even more rarely employed to dismiss an entire case at the outset. The outcome in Edmonds’ case could significantly impact the government’s ability to rely on secrecy to avoid accountability in future cases, the ACLU said, including one pending case charging the government with "rendering" detainees to be tortured, and another charging racial discrimination by the CIA.

"Edmonds’ case is not an isolated incident," Beeson said. "The federal government is routinely retaliating against government employees who uncover weaknesses in our ability to prevent terrorist attacks or protect public safety. From firing whistleblowers to using special privileges to cover up mistakes, the government is taking extreme steps to shield itself from political embarrassment while gambling with our safety."

The court’s surprise move yesterday to close the hearing to members of the press and general public resulted in multiple emergency motions filed last night by the ACLU and other public interest groups, as well as several media organizations including The Washington Post, The New York Times, Reuters America, the Associated Press and The Hearst Corporation. The ACLU said the decision to close the court did not appear to be based on state secrets concerns as it allowed those without security clearance to be present for the arguments. Furthermore, the briefs argued today were already made public when they were first filed in early 2005.

Several 9/11 family member advocacy groups have signed on to a friend-of-the-court brief in support of Sibel Edmonds. Advocates say that if government employees do not report misconduct or security breaches for fear of retaliation, then national security suffers. That brief, along with other legal documents and background materials, is available online at www.aclu.org/whistleblowers.

Co-counsel in the case are: Melissa Goodman and Ben Wizner of the national ACLU; Art Spitzer of the ACLU of the National Capital Area; Mark Zaid of the Washington law firm Krieger and Zaid; and Eric Seiff of New York.

Yeah, we got that Bin Laden all right. And when the president said bring em on in that macho way, i was as surprised as anyone when they started hanging our mercenaries from bridges like they were curing hams.

LOS ANGELES -- The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California today filed a lawsuit on behalf of Air Marshal Frank Terreri, who is seeking a ban on Federal Air Marshal Service rules that prohibit him from speaking publicly about his job or saying anything in connection with the Air Marshal Service.

"The Department of Homeland Security is not only infringing on Frank Terreri's right to free expression, they are actually jeopardizing the public's safety by limiting the speech of whistleblowers," said Peter Eliasberg, managing attorney of the ACLU of Southern California. "Terreri is prohibited from participating in informative debate about the safety of our airline industry, which makes all of us less secure."

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in the Central District of California. It seeks a declaration that portions of the Federal Air Marshal Service rules that say marshals may not "release or divulge investigative information or any other matters pertaining to the FAMS" are unconstitutional, as well as a court order forbidding the defendants from enforcing those provisions.

Terreri has 15 years of law enforcement experience including three years as a federal air marshal. He is also a president of a professional membership organization that represents more than 23,000 federal agents, including 1,400 air marshals, all of whom are restricted from discussing details related to their job that could enhance the security marshals provide.

"Currently there is no protection for agents in the Federal Air Marshal Service who see ways to improve their service," said Paul Hoffman, who is co-counsel in the case. "The federal government cannot decide who has a right to free expression and who doesn't, especially not when the public's safety is at risk."

Terreri has tried to work within the system to address his concerns about aviation security, detailing security lapses within the agency in two letters to the director. After he sent a private e-mail to another air marshal raising concerns about an air marshal profile in People magazine, Terreri was taken off active flight duty and placed on administrative duty.

"Everyone's heard that you can pick out a federal air marshal from a mile away because they look like a 1950’s FBI agent," Eliasberg said. "Frank stuck his neck out to try to improve the way his agency works, and those in charge found any excuse to punish him. This lawsuit will shed light on Homeland Security policies that don't contribute to safety, but rather violate constitutional rights."

Coleen Rowley, an FBI whistleblower who was named one of Time magazine's persons of the year in 2002, said in a taped statement that she found it unfortunate that Terreri was forced to file a lawsuit because the Federal Air Marshal's policies leave him no other choice.

"Federal employees who want to expose the truth should not have to risk their careers," Rowley said. "Employees who need to report fraud, abuse or mismanagement to uphold their constitutional oaths and to try to improve our safety and security should be encouraged and not prevented from doing so. Mr. Terreri is a defender of both the public's safety and our civil liberties."

The ACLU of Southern California, Professor Allan Ides of Loyola Law School and Paul Hoffman of Schonbrun, DeSimone, Seplow, Harris and Hoffman are representing Terreri.

Michael Chertoff, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security; Randy Beardsworth, the acting under secretary for Border Transportation and Security; Michael J. Garcia, the assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security for Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and Thomas Quinn, the director of the Federal Air Marshal Service, are named as defendants.

Organizations headed by two of the best-known figures in conservative political circles, Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist, have been subpoenaed by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee in its long-running probe of GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
The committee is planning to hold its next hearing in the investigation in late June. The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, one of Abramoff?s former clients, is expected to be the focus of that hearing, according to sources close to the investigation.

Americans for Tax Reform, for which Norquist serves as president, is refusing to disclose its donor list to the Senate committee, said two officials with the group. Reed?s firm, Century Strategies, is complying with the subpoena. Senate investigators are seeking four years' worth of records detailing Century Strategies' business dealings with Abramoff and GOP political consultant Michael Scanlon and entities under their control, said several sources familiar with the issue.

Like the show's diversion into Janeane's life and the more casual conversations, and music at the end. I can't imagine having to spend 8 hours immersed in politics, news and 3 hours of that time talking about it for a full-time job. That would make anyone depressed, thanks for the break!

The relationship between Abramoff, Reed and Norquist goes back to the early 1980s when all three worked together for the College Republicans. When Abramoff, then at the firm Preston Gates Ellis Rouvelas Meeds, began lobbying for the Mississippi Choctaws, he used his ties to Norquist, who had by that time founded ATR, to help block new federal taxes on Indian gambling revenue.

According to The Washington Post, the Choctaws, who have become an economic powerhouse in Mississippi thanks to their casino operations, donated "hundreds of thousands" to ATR, although Norquist has refused to reveal how much the tribe gave to his organization.

How about paraphrasing that.

Democratic Reps. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.) and Marty Meehan (Mass.) will propose legislation to address issues raised in the investigations into Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
The proposals, which could be introduced next week, would require lobbyists to say how private groups pay for congressional travel, force lawmakers to disclose their ties to nonprofit groups and double the time that retiring lawmakers and staff would have to wait before lobbying, to two years.

new post @ lizzwinstead.net!

Just four months into her job as the top Democrat on the Rules Committee, Rep. Louise Slaughter (N.Y.) has found herself at the center of a political firestorm: She's taken on the role of leading minority critic of changes to House ethics rules.
It's a position the 10-term veteran of the House and 16-year member of the Rules panel takes personally - and one she does not take lightly. Slaughter said she has developed a deep affinity for the institution as she has seen her share of House ethics scandals and even watched her own party lose power because of accusations of wrongdoing.

"I have a deep reverence for government," Slaughter said in a recent interview. "I take very seriously what I'm doing. It pains me to see what's going on in democracy."

The Kentucky native succeeded former Rep. Martin Frost (D-Texas) this Congress as the ranking member on Rules. In that capacity, she became the first woman ever to hold the post.

Slaughter has wasted no time making a name for herself in her new job, spending virtually every day this Congress fighting the Republican rules changes to the ethics process. She's twice asked for bipartisan hearings to review the amendments but has been rebuffed each time. More broadly, she?s taken on her party's assignment of challenging the ethics of the majority party.

Democrat requests probe of changes in terrorism report

By Jonathan S. Landay, Knight Ridder Newspapers
Thu Apr 21, 3:32 PM ET

WASHINGTON - A senior Democratic lawmaker on Thursday asked the State Department inspector general to investigate a decision to replace a 19-year-old annual terrorism report with one stripped of statistics that show an upsurge in major terrorist attacks in 2004.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's decision "denies the public access to important information about the incidence of terrorism," charged Rep. Henry Waxman (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., in a letter to State Department Inspector General Cameron R. Hume.

Waxman, the senior Democratic member of the House Committee on Government Reform, noted that the Pentagon last week touted statistics that it claimed showed a drop in terrorist attacks in Iraq since the Jan. 30 elections for an interim national assembly.

Rice's decision to withhold statistics reporting a major increase in terrorist attacks in 2004 over the previous year suggested "a pattern in the administration's approach to terrorism data: Favorable facts are revealed while unfavorable facts are suppressed," Waxman wrote.

Powell Playing Quiet Role in Bolton Battle

Former secretary of state Colin L. Powell is emerging as a behind-the-scenes player in the battle over John R. Bolton's nomination as ambassador to the United Nations, privately telling at least two key Republican lawmaker that Bolton is a smart but very problematic government official, according to Republican sources.

Powell spoke in recent days with Sens. Lincoln D. Chafee (R.I.) and Chuck Hagel (Neb.), two of three GOP senators on the Foreign Relations Committee who have raised concerns about Bolton's confirmation, the sources said. Powell did not advise the senators to oppose Bolton, but offered a frank assessment of the nominee as a man who was challenging to work with on personnel and policy matters, according to two people familiar with the conversations.

Surprising developments on Denver 3 case

I got word that the Secret Service is flying to Denver tomorrow to open a criminal investigation on the fools involved in kicking out three people from one of Bush's sham social security "town hall meetings".

The security officials who kicked out the three acted and were dressed like secret service officers, and there's reason to believe they passed themselves off as such. That's a crime.

The big question -- who trained these security people, and all early fingers point to the White House.

More Fun With Bolton

Apparently he's a big liar. Isn't lying to Congress a no-no? Isn't Cokie Roberts going to start screeching "rule of law! rule law!"

President Bush personally came to the defense of his embattled nominee for United Nations ambassador on Thursday, telling reporters that despite mounting criticism, John R. Bolton deserved to be confirmed by the Senate.

"He is the right man at the right time for this important assignment. I urge the Senate to put aside politics and confirm John Bolton to the United Nations," Mr. Bush said.

But Bolton's fate grew even murkier, as one of the president's own former ambassadors, told CBS News Correspondent Gloria Borger that Bolton had been less than truthful in his recent confirmation hearings.

The episode revolves around a speech Bolton gave in South Korea in the summer of 2003, in which he said, "For many in North Korea, life is a hellish nightmare."

When asked about the hard-line speech, Bolton said Ambassador Thomas Hubbard had approved it.

"I can tell you what our ambassador to South Korea, Tom Hubbard, said after the speech. He said, "Thanks a lot for that speech, John. It'll help us a lot out here.'"

Well, that's not what Hubbard says. In fact, the ambassador told CBS News that he specifically objected to the tone of the speech and actually found it unhelpful in dealing with North Korea.

http://www.warandpiece.com/blogdirs/001931.html

"Bolton was running his own counterintelligence operation." So who is withholding the NSA intercepts from the SFRC committee to date? State or NSA or some other entity? More on this soon. Meantime, someone close to the investigation suggested that the 10 NSA intercepts Bolton demanded he be given with the identity of the redacted US persons revealed is an enormously interesting subject. "Bolton was running his own counterintelligence operation, was using the intelligence to figure out how he can get back at people." That would be against US officials. In the tradition of J. Edgar Hoover. I doubt this is behavior even Republican Senators are going to consider legitimate or tolerable, when they learn the details. Is this not an illegitimate, illegal and highly improper use of US signals intelligence, for a US official to spy on other US officials he doesn't trust? Talk about going behind someone's back! And was Jack Pritchard the only subject of Bolton's counterintelligence operations, or was Bolton's boss, Richard Armitage himself, and the staff who worked for him, also targets?

In the story the woman was worried she was going
to die and what would happen to her son. I actually called my sister and made arrangements if
I died after reading it. It was about a single mom who worked in a library with odd hours. Just
freaky.#

ASPCA Responds to Wisconsin Conservation Congress

http://www.warandpiece.com/blogdirs/001932.html

You know what this is really all about? Far more than a partisan fight between Republicans and Democrats as the White House would have us believe, this is really all about a fight within the Republican party about whether all Republicans have to robotically be in lockstep with the White House on every issue, every nomination, or not. Are they allowed a smidgen of independence, ever? Now the WSJ is serving happily as the "fashion police" for the White House on how forcefully Republican Senators need to speak about a nominee Sen. Lugar has every substantive reason and right to consider unfit for that job. And for that matter, that he did almost all in his power to push through committee. He just didn't look happy enough about it for the White House. Is this a trial balloon, a threat, that Lugar could lose his committee chair, a la Arlen Specter, as Chris Nelson suggested earlier this week, if he doesn't manage somehow to push Bolton through? How truly incredibly stifling.

Happy things.. Okay....

I'm gonna see Mister Big .. And I'm gonna get laid!! I'm gonna get laid!!

Posted by: wanda at April 21, 2005 11:25 PM

It's a damned shame. True conservatives like Powell and Paul O'Neil come oh-so-close to actually qualifiying as human beings from time to time, but in the end their fear or their love of ambition always overpowers their better instincts; hence they always stop just short of a full-scale confrontation with the neocons.

A fourth case of Bolton berating an intelligence analyst, whose skepticism about a report on Chinese WMD outraged Bolton. From Newsweek:

Congressional sources say the Democrats are already examining at least one new case in which Bolton became angry after a State Department analyst raised questions about an alarming CIA report about Chinese WMD. The report had so interested Bolton's aides that they quickly sent a copy of it to Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. Before the report reached Armitage, however, sources tell NEWSWEEK, an intelligence analyst attached a note to both Armitage and the CIA questioning its accuracy.

Capitol Hill investigators now are trying to verify allegations that either Bolton or people in his office inappropriately berated the analyst for his action.

Read the rest of the piece too, in which former US ambassador to South Korea Thomas Hubbard describes Bolton as an unmoored, unstable presence on Korean peninsula issues. More from CBS's Gloria Borger.

Anyway... so this early, they aren't playing any music. They got this show on about remaking Taylor Dane. She was this fairly big star back in the hair rock days. She can sing really well and to tell you the truth, I kinda liked her a lot before they remade her. Sexy woman! Little older, but hey... so's us! They should have called the show Comletely Fucking Taylor Dane Up.

Get this... this woman didn't have an ounce of fat on her before they started... but then they hadda give her a trainer and all this horseshit. Next... the hip-huggers. People... hip-huggers make a ripe 19-year old beauty look like a dumpy guy... what they gonna do fo yo 42 year old middle? Listen... bad fucking fashion idea, okay?

Goodnight Blog.
Have a good weekend, I am outta here!

XXXOOO

This Bolton guy may be a chink in Bushes armour. He is a solid example of what this administration did to the intelligence analysts leading up to the Iraq invasion.

Janeane, I am sorry.

The Celebrity rant == 'I am famous and in the industry. you got to listen to me dammit. I have something important to say. I am not sure what, but it is important. Have some nice sound byte I barely internalize'

There are several important senate hearings and news on critical breaking points... yet you prefer to spend half a segment about how great your music taste is?

TOTAL fuck ups.

THAT is celebrity rant.

interview = your job is to extract information from your guest. It is YOUR job to put your guest in their confort zone so listener can obtain information you ask.

Put your OWN personal tangential opinion at end of show (rant/time filler segment)

~~~ yet you prefer to spend half a segment about how great your music taste is? ~~~

Janeane did that?

And it wasn't, like, a spoof?

You're right. That not good.

Nite Ceres.#

Dear Janeane and Colin,

Tonight's show was sublime.

Good Night, Ceres!! Sweet Dreams! Have a great weekend!! : )

Santorum reads nuke polls, applies the brakes

Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), a leading advocate of the “nuclear option” to end the Democrats’ filibuster of judicial nominees, is privately arguing for a delay in the face of adverse internal party polls.

Details of the polling numbers remain under wraps, but Santorum and other Senate sources concede that, while a majority of Americans oppose the filibuster, the figures show that most also accept the Democratic message that Republicans are trying to destroy the tradition of debate in the Senate.

Link

*****************************

GOP SURVEY - NO SUPPORT FOR NUCLEAR OPTION

These officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a recent survey taken for Senate Republicans showed 37 percent support for the GOP plan to deny Democrats the ability to filibuster judicial nominees, while 51 percent oppose. Additionally, the survey indicated only about 20 percent of Americans believe the Republican statement that Bush is the first president in history whose court appointees have been subjected to a filibuster, a tactic in which opponents can prevent a vote unless supporters gain 60 votes.

Lobbying reform targeted at DeLay, Abramoff issues

Democratic Reps. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.) and Marty Meehan (Mass.) will propose legislation to address issues raised in the investigations into Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

The proposals, which could be introduced next week, would require lobbyists to say how private groups pay for congressional travel, force lawmakers to disclose their ties to nonprofit groups and double the time that retiring lawmakers and staff would have to wait before lobbying, to two years.

I noticed jupiter next to the moon tonight.

The Tacugama Chimp Sanctuary was set up in 1995, and is committed to the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned and abandoned chimpanzees. The chimps enjoy a semi-wild life within the 100 acre reserve. The overall aim of the programme is to provide a home for confiscated and rescued chimps, while helping to stop the cruel and wasteful trade of the species - thus securing a future for the wild population.

Plese remeber that if one must bring cake, please bring enough for everyone.

Enjoying discussion of art between JG and guest Rosanna Arquette! Thanks for another good show!

Got to share though what I think happens when art and artists are segregated into an elite, separate group. I think it causes the very backlash JG was referring to!

We in this society are in a bad way about art: We've left "art classes" and music out of school curriculum for a whole generation of kids now and so many Americans are KEPT ignorant about art (on the basis of class) and understanding art and what it means to create Art! Art and being artistic and becoming an artist is for all humans, not just for certain classes of society! (I think it's an exclusive way to approach art to think in terms of an artists' class whose art is consumed by another class that understands it.)

In reality (outside a phony, imposed class structure way of putting it in a box), Art is INCLUSIVE. Art is what any human being (or any animal for that matter--look to the "bower bird" as an amazing example!) creates when that being reaches a state in which art is an expression of that individual's unique TALENT. (Seems obvious, but when you look at our social structure, it is not treated as a given!)

As soon as we stop thinking of art as exclusive, I believe the world will be transformed. Because then each individual's best contribution is a celebration of individual talent that serves us all, and each of us shares a Creative Equality.
Would saying "Being artistic is a civil right" help? That we all have a right to be artistic, a right to express our individual Unique Talents? It would expand our definition of art too (so making or doing anything beautifully becomes art and cause for personal satisfaction).

Regarding those who sniff at art and artists, I think it happens because they, for any number of reasons (even self-imposed) feel left-out and resent it. It is a result of an exclusive system. Seems predictable. But how would it exist in an inclusive system where everyone's artistic potential was acknowledged and celebrated?

Boy, it is so rare to hear art/artists discussed on media; thanks for that!

no, I meant. The interviewing skill problem to a large degree is still not being addressed since the day of 'Peaches' interview.

Wingnut church pushes Microsoft to abandon gay right bill.

Microsoft officials denied any connection between their decision not to endorse the bill and the church's opposition, although they acknowledged meeting twice with the church minister, Ken Hutcherson.

Dr. Hutcherson, pastor of the Antioch Bible Church, who has organized several rallies opposing same-sex marriage here and in Washington, D.C., said he threatened in those meetings to organize a national boycott of Microsoft products.

After that, "they backed off," the pastor said Thursday in a telephone interview. "I told them I was going to give them something to be afraid of Christians about," he said.

Microsoft's decision not to endorse the anti-discrimination bill and its meetings with Dr. Hutcherson were first reported Thursday by The Stranger, an alternative weekly newspaper in Seattle.

The bill, which had passed in the State House, would have extended protections against discrimination in employment, housing and other fields to gay men and lesbians. It was supported by other high-tech companies and multinational corporations including Nike, Boeing, Coors and Hewlett-Packard.

Lincoln Chafee is Now Doing the Right Thing: Going to Wage a Full Force Investigation of Bolton

I spoke with Senator Chafee's Chief Spokesman, Steve Hourahan, yesterday and was very pleased with the discussion. I think Senator Chafee is now moving from the 'passive' and 'reactive' in this matter on John Bolton -- to 'proactive' and 'aggressive' in trying to get to the truth about the many allegations about Bolton.

Hourahan said that yesterday morning, Wednesday, Chafee met with staff and said that he planned to get actively involved in pursuing the totality of questions and evidence on John Bolton. Hourahan stated that the Senator and his staff would now become aggressively involved in the investigation.

they do need some 'contrast'

even worse when he does 'enduro

familiar with all the

facts in these rants.

my guess is they'll ignore

any attempts for us to help and

let the station succumb to corporate BS

To JG:

I think I may have posted this before but I wanted to put it up again because I think it is important. It is a fine line between being civilized and doing the usual soft-brained liberal thing of tolerating the worst right-wing spewage.

"Democracy is still in its trial. The civic genius of our people is its only bulwark (what a great word - say it out loud a couple of times. ;) ), and neither laws nor monuments, neither battleships nor libraries . . . nor churches nor universities nor civil service examinations (!?!) can save us from degeneration if the inner mystery is lost.

That mystery . . . consists in nothing but two common. .. inveterate habits carried into public life... habits more precious, perhaps, than any that the human race has gained. . . One of them is the habit of trained and disciplined good temper toward the opposite party when it fairly wins its innings. . . THE OTHER IS THAT OF FIERCE AND MERCILESS RESENTMENT TOWARD EVERY MAN OR SET OF MEN WHO BREAK THE PUBLIC PEACE."

Go get 'em, girl.

Hi Air Ono. How are you tonight?#

Wanda,

I checked out the website of the Antioch Bible Church . It's just as I suspected. Pastor Hutcherson is a gay bashing, African American minister. Of course, he is probably getting some faith based initiative money from Bush. It is so disheartening to see this fool doing the bidding of those-who would have hung his ass from a tree 40 years ago. He is certainly old enough to have suffered under segregation.

No matter their ethnic background, I hate Uncle Toms.

DAMMIT!

The thing with Janeane is that she needs to let her guest speak more. Slow down and wait for them to finish. Also, let them talk about what they came there to talk about. Keep on topic.

me when they miss essential facts in these rants.

Posted by: Sunshine Jim at April 22, 2005 01:12 AM

I think what bother me most is a lot of essential details are not told. The rant is more in 'auto-pilot' open mic mode. News details are glossed over and information muddled over 'soundbite' effect and delivery.

It what creates media cynicism.

take for eg. the Bolton case. From tonite's rant. We really can't get a picture 'what is it' that makes current Bolton hearing significance. (what does it say about his overall work/role in various recent world conflicts, the internal GOP split, How Bushies operate, etc...)

hence, nobody cares. things just gets glossed over as "oh that's just Bolton, yet another Bush shenanigans" .......next...

Jim, No one should ever ignore their audience. There is nothing worse than a band playing all the songs off the new record when the people want to hear a few of the old favorites.

If we get through the summer without all getting arrested than we have all the time in the world and if we don't than JG radio style is not going to make a hell of a bit of difference anyway.

Janenae is so cool.

~~~ Myabe Wanda is could work for MJRR? that would be cool. i think she wouldn't get sucked in by the ego. she would keep her head.# ~~~

I don't always agree with Wanda... probably less than half the time. BUT... I think as a producer, she would be a wonderful addition to a show like MRR. I think she would bring about a huge improvement. She's no bullshit and that's what these guys need.

Xenophobic people like dismiss anyone who is different as being insane.

The Majority Report and Laura Flanders are the only shows that have regular guest outside of mainstream media. This sets them apart from the other shows.

Sorry, I like her flaws and all. I listen to Air America off and on, but I always listen to this show.

I think they could maybe do something else if they really wanted to help.

My mother once said that saying someone "means well" is about the worst thing you can say about someone.

What you are really saying when you say someone means well is that they are such a complete failure that they aren't even offensive.

I am not dismissing her. I have been a regular listener for sometime and Janeane is beyond volatile. I don't neccesarily dislike "insane" nor "different"- but over a period of time people like this breakdown- especially when they have to do routine things.

She is also very brave. She took a lot of shit for coming out against the war at the very start. It is easy to be against the war now after we have lost 1,500 of our children, but she did it before it was cool. That took guts. I will always admire her for that.

I agree she is very brave. But I am talking about her ability to host a show night in and night out without her and/or the show imploding because of her obvious instability. I don't love Sam particularly, but when he is solo you don't have a sense of impending train wreck or maybe worse- train fizzle.

it's true. and multi-personality makes sense, but psychopathic troll? that hurts.

Al is such a narcissist that he can't interview anyone without talking about himself. He cracks jokes when it is inappropriate. That's another look at me, look at me attitude. The interview that he did with Kitty Kelley was a prime example.

Dear Senator Boxer,

I am not in your district, but I wish I was. I am, unfortunately, living in Tennessee. Home of Bill Frist. Having him for a senator often makes things seem hopeless. But then I look to you and your bold stances on these horrible confirmations as well as ANWR and I feel heartened. Even if we lose every battle, I can take hope in the fact that someone was fighting for this country.

However, I have to say that my heart was broken today when John Negroponte was unanimously confirmed. This man is responsible for many atrocities and I can't fathom why he has been so universally accepted. Have we forgotten the disappeared? Have we forgotten the violence, threats, and murders? This man is cruel. How can we accept someone who has so little regard for human life?

Please help me understand.

Sincerely,
Meg

Well, I didn't call you psycopathic. I'd say that's a far stretch.

I guess we see who the real "Girlie Man" is after all.

Nightline is having a good show on this "nuke option".

s Clear Channel Trying to Kill Air America?

Yes, if the mess at KTLK, Los Angeles is any indication.

This new station started off with great fanfare, as the triumphant return of Air America Radio to the Los Angeles market, from which it had unceremoniously vanished in a business dispute only three weeks after it began. There was a lot of interest in KTLK, helped along by Clear Channel's heavy promotion of a triple frequency switch in which two L.A. radio formats moved to new stations, leaving a third station available for Air America and other similar products such as the Ed Schultz show.

However, the problems with KTLK have been many, and Clear Channel has gone out of its way NOT to deal with them.

For a start, the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team is contracted to broadcast ALL its games on KTLK. No, I did not misspeak. The Los Angeles CLIPPERS. They are the best kept secret in Lakertown. They are the other L.A. basketball team. As much as the Lakers stink this year, well, that's how badly the Clippers stink every year. They are a guaranteed black hole in any Los Angeles radio schedule. You can probably watch the ratings go down.

Clear Channel could not move the Clippers to the new sports station, because it already carries the Lakers. And so it stayed on KTLK, with no explanation whatsoever. In the station's crucial first week, thousands of people tuned in to the make-or-break afternoon drive time to find a basketball game instead of the advertised "Progressive Talk." Many thought they'd heard it wrong, and never came back.

The Clippers were on an extended road trip, blowing out KTLK's afternoon drive for weeks. I doubt the station ever recovered. Not too good for Air America, either, given that the slot usually goes to a delayed airing of AAR heavy hitter Randi Rhodes.

It gets worse. Weekend programming changes literally from week to week. Jesse Jackson, not Air America but good for diversity in the L.A. market, comes and goes unpredictably, never at the same time twice. KTLK has announced that - marvel of marvels - Jackson will finally have a regular Sunday slot, starting April 17. Unfortunately, this slot is the same time as AAR's very popular

It gets worse. Weekend programming changes literally from week to week. Jesse Jackson, not Air America but good for diversity in the L.A. market, comes and goes unpredictably, never at the same time twice. KTLK has announced that - marvel of marvels - Jackson will finally have a regular Sunday slot, starting April 17. Unfortunately, this slot is the same time as AAR's very popular Laura Flanders Show.

On Easter Sunday, Laura was abruptly cut into for the Jackson show, with a Michael Jackson interview. No buildup, no publicity, no nothing. Perhaps this interview was promoted elsewhere, and perhaps it actually increased ratings in a lot of places, but not when handled this way in Los Angeles. We're sick of Michael Jackson. Run his interview, sure, it's good for ratings and diversity besides, but not when Laura Flanders' demographic, which is about as different as you can get and still have it be radio, is listening. Dumb move. Guaranteed tune out, which is just what happened.

This week, on Saturday, Flanders and the popular Ring of Fire show leading into it, are once again gone. The replacement is some kind of syndication about travel stories. ??????????????

Meanwhile, Saturday has also added two local talk shows. No promotion, no clue who they are, nothing. Not even a word on the abyssmal web site. Nobody's listening. Nobody knows to.

Perhaps all of this meat-axe programming gives us some idea of why KTLK has never, ever, ever, published a program schedule. No program schedule. No program schedule, anywhere. Vague lists of weekday programming have been announced on-air, but otherwise you're on your own.

Los Angeles has 83 radio stations. A station which does not publish its schedule hasn't a prayer. It cannot even be seen as a serious attempt to attract an audience.

Therefore, the only remaining conclusion is that KTLK, and Air America Radio, are being set up to fail miserably in Los Angeles.

Bet THAT will get publicity.........

Well, he should never have been made Governor in the first place. They wanted the Governor out of the way so they could cover up stealing the money from the people of California during the so called energy crisis. This man would have never won in a real election, so they crowned him in a special election. Will the people of California stand for this?

How many have gone to war?

Even experts are surprised at the vast numbers of U.S. soldiers who have been deployed after 9/11. Even if troop levels in Iraq are cut next year, the military may be permanently damaged.

More surprising is the number of troops who have gone to war since 9/11, come back home, and then were redeployed to the battle zone. Of all the troops ever sent to Iraq or Afghanistan, one-third have gone more than once, according to the Pentagon. In the regular Army, 63 percent of the soldiers have been to war at least one time, and almost 40 percent of those soldiers have gone back. The highest rate of first-time deployments belongs to the Marine Corps Reserve: Almost 90 percent have fought.

The data sheds new light on how all-consuming the post-9/11 wars have been for the U.S. military, and suggests a particular strain on U.S. ground forces. An increasing number of military experts believe those forces -- the Army and Marines -- are months away from being overtaxed to the point of serious dysfunction. The situation in Iraq must continue to stabilize. If it doesn't, and the Bush administration continues to both reject the idea of a draft and rebuff efforts to permanently increase the size of the Army and Marines, U.S. ground forces will break down to a point not seen since just after Vietnam.

His latest attemp to get petitions signed to put stuff on the ballot in the next Nov. election isn't going too get enough signatures. Right now if you wanted to rent a U-Haul truck oneway out of the state you can't, there are more people moving out of California than moving here.

We also have more Illegal aliens than Legal ones now, there are 6 million illegals and 5 million legals. There has been 56 hospitals that have closed in the state, instead of an Ambulance to respond to some things now they use a Helicopter because of the lack of trauma centers. This state is a mess.

Senate OKs $81B for Iraq, Afghanistan

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly approved $81 billion for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in a spending bill that would push the total cost of combat and reconstruction past $300 billion.

The finger finally has pointed to Anna Ayala -- the woman at the center of the Wendy's chili mystery.

San Jose police confirmed that Ayala, 39, was arrested Thursday night in Las Vegas in connection with the incident.

Police would not elaborate on the details until a news conference today.

... ``She was arrested in Las Vegas tonight involving the Wendy's investigation, but we're not divulging the particulars about the arrest until the press conference,'' San Jose Police spokesman Enrique Garcia said Thursday.

The core of the measure -- about $75 billion for military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan -- has generated no controversy. That sum will push war and reconstruction costs since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to more than $300 billion, according to the Congressional Research Service. The cost of the Iraq war alone is approaching $200 billion.

Congratulation Bush. Ethnic cleansing is in vogue in Iraq.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,7374-1580005,00.html

Sunni guerrillas quickly took over, running the town as their own criminal fiefdom and randomly killing Shia residents, whom they considered infidels and US sympathisers. Then they launched an all-out attempt to purge the town of its Shias.

News of this “ethnic cleansing” leaked out in confusing rumours.

Shia officials spoke last weekend of a massive hostage-taking. But when Iraqi Interior Ministry commandos stormed the town they found car bombs, weapons and a training camp — but no kidnappers and no hostages. The whole story was dismissed as scaremongering.

Then the photographs of the bodies emerged and with them the tale of Abu Qaddum — a resident who survived the massacre and this week alerted President Talabani. “I think there may be 300 bodies in the Tigris,” he told The Times yesterday.

O’Reilly Accuser Buys U.W.S. Condo for $809,500; Ted Greenberg Dukes It Out in $4 M. Bid

by Michael Calderone

Andrea Mackris, the former associate producer for Fox News Channel who made headlines by suing talking head Bill O’Reilly for sexual harassment, recently purchased an Upper West Side condo for $809,500, according to deed-transfer records.

Ms. Mackris, an alumna of Columbia University’s journalism school, had worked as a producer on The O’Reilly Factor before leaving for CNN in January 2004. However, in July of that year, she returned to Fox, reportedly at a $93,000-a-year salary.

Hours before Ms. Mackris filed her $60 million suit, Mr. O’Reilly sued for extortion. In the week that followed, the lurid details of the case—complete with explicit phone-sex allegations—served as endless fodder for late-night monologues (and fake news shows). On Oct. 28, Mr. O’Reilly agreed to settle the suit for an unspecified amount.

Updated: 7:25 p.m. ET April 20, 2005April 20 - President George W. Bush’s former ambassador to South Korea has contacted the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to report two confrontations he had with United Nations Ambassador-designate John Bolton, NEWSWEEK has learned. And Senate investigators are raising more questions about how Bolton and his staff handled sensitive intelligence matters while serving as under-secretary of state for arms control and international security.

SAUDI NUCLEAR INTEREST IS HEIGHTENING WORRIES

Middle East News, VIENNA — Saudi Arabia has quietly begun talks on a UN-sanctioned agreement that could curtail any outside probe of its atomic intentions — a move that heightens concerns in a region already edgy about rival Iran’s nuclear programme.

The Saudis deny any plans to develop nuclear weapons, and diplomats close to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) told AP that the UN nuclear monitor has no firm evidence that would cast doubt on the Saudi assertions.

But the diplomats say that past Saudi nuclear interest is heightening worries, as is the timing of the efforts to sign on to the IAEA’s small quantities protocol that would exempt the country from most of the agency’s control authority.

Born of more trusting days, the agreement has been joined by dozens of countries, most of which have never experimented with nuclear weapons. But the protocol is now viewed with suspicion within the agency, after revelations of other loopholes that have allowed prewar Iraq, Iran, Libya and other countries to work secretly on known or suspected nuclear weapons programmes.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1411427

...But Bolton's fate grew even murkier, as one of the president's own former ambassadors, told CBS News Correspondent Gloria Borger that Bolton had been less than truthful in his recent confirmation hearings.

The episode revolves around a speech Bolton gave in South Korea in the summer of 2003, in which he said, "For many in North Korea, life is a hellish nightmare."

When asked about the hard-line speech, Bolton said Ambassador Thomas Hubbard had approved it.

"I can tell you what our ambassador to South Korea, Tom Hubbard, said after the speech. He said, "Thanks a lot for that speech, John. It'll help us a lot out here.'"...

In the wise words of Larry Flynt...talk to the manufacturer.

I explain herein why I bombed the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. I explain this
not for publicity, nor seeking to win an argument of right or wrong. I explain so that the
record is clear as to my thinking and motivations in bombing a government installation.
I chose to bomb a Federal Building because such an action served more purposes than other
options. Foremost, the bombing was a retaliatory strike: a counter-attack, for the
cumulative raids (and subsequent violence and damage) that federal agents had participated
in over the preceding years (including, but not limited to, Waco). From the formation of
such units as the FBI's "Hostage Rescue" and other assault teams amongst federal agencies
during the 80s, culminating in the Waco incident, federal actions grew increasingly
militaristic and violent, to the point where at Waco, our government—like the Chinese—was
deploying tanks against its own citizens.
... For all intents and purposes, federal agents had become "soldiers" (using military
training, tactics, techniques, equipment, language, dress, organization and mindset) and
they were escalating their behavior. Therefore, this bombing was also meant as a pre-emptive
(or pro-active) strike against those forces and their command and control centers within the
federal building. When an aggressor force continually launches attacks from a particular
base of operations, it is sound military strategy to take the fight to the enemy.
Additionally, borrowing a page from U.S. foreign policy, I decided to send a message to a
government that was becoming increasingly hostile, by bombing a government building and the
government employees within that building who represent that government. Bombing the Murrah
Federal Building was morally and strategically equivalent to the U.S. hitting a government
building in Serbia, Iraq, or other nations. Based on observations of the policies of my own
government, I viewed this action as an acceptable option. From this perspective what
occurred in Oklahoma City was no different than what Americans rain on the heads of others
all the

From this perspective what
occurred in Oklahoma City was no different than what Americans rain on the heads of others
all the time, and, subsequently, my mindset was and is one of clinical detachment. (The
bombing of the Murrah Building was not personal no more than when Air Force, Army, Navy or
Marine personnel bomb or launch cruise missiles against (foreign) government installations
and their personnel.)
I hope this clarification amply addresses your question.

Sincerely,

O thou with dewy locks, who lookest down

Thro' the clear windows of the morning, turn

Thine angel eyes upon our western isle,

Which in full choir hails thy approach, O Spring!

The hills tell each other, and the listening

Valleys hear; all our longing eyes are turned

Up to thy bright pavilions: issue forth,

And let thy holy feet visit our clime.

Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds

Kiss thy perfumed garments; let us taste

Thy morn and evening breath; scatter thy pearls

Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.

O deck her forth with thy fair fingers; pour

Thy soft kisses on her bosom; and put

Thy golden crown upon her languished head,

Whose modest tresses were bound up for thee.

Fresh bloodshed rocks Iraq as rebels set sights on Allawi
By Patrick Cockburn in Arbil
22 April 2005

Iraq was engulfed in a fresh wave of violence when insurgents shot down a helicopter killing 11 people, and al-Qa'ida in Iraq claimed one of its suicide bombers had come close to assassinating the Prime Minister Iyad Allawi.

The MI-8 commercial helicopter contracted to the US Defence Department was hit by a ground-to-air missile 25 miles north of Baghdad yesterday. All on board were killed: six Americans, two bodyguards from the Philippines and the three-man Bulgarian crew. On 30 January, nine RAF flight crew and a soldier died when a C-130 Hercules was downed, almost certainly by a ground-to-air missile, also north of Baghdad.

Al-Qa'ida in Iraq, which has no real connection with the al-Qa'ida of Osama bin Laden, claimed in an internet statement that a pick-up truck packed with TNT and mortar rounds rammed Mr Allawi's convoy close to the Green Zone in Baghdad. When his guards opened fire the bomber blew himself up, killing one policeman and wounding four.

Sharon vows to defy Bush over expansion of Israeli settlements
By Donald Macintyre in Jerusalem
22 April 2005

Ariel Sharon, the Israeli Prime Minister, vowed to continue expanding Jewish settlements in the West Bank despite his admitted differences with President George Bush on the issue.

In his most uncompromising comments yet on the settler question, Mr Sharon depicted the planned withdrawal from Gaza as the only way of preserving the largest settlement blocks on the Palestinian side of the pre-1967 border with Israel. "I am doing everything I can to preserve as much [of the West Bank settlements] as I can," he said.

In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, which will be published in full today, Mr Sharon acknowledged that the US and Israel did not, in the paper's words, "necessarily see eye to eye" on settlement expansion.

But Mr Sharon underlined his determination to go ahead with it in defiance of US exhortations by pointing out that settlement growth had always gone ahead in the past despite formal expressions of US opposition to it. He said hundreds of homes were being built in two West Bank settlements, Ma'ale Adumim and Betar Illit.

Clinton impeachment was retaliation for Nixon, says retiring congressman

By Andy Shaw
April 21, 2005 — Republican Congressman Henry Hyde made some surprising comments Thursday on the impeachment hearings of President Bill Clinton. He now says Republicans may have gone after Clinton to retaliate for the impeachment of Richard Nixon. Hyde is stepping down after this term.

Hyde's comments came as he talked with ABC7 political reporter Andy Shaw about his 30 year in Congress.

In an exclusive interview, Hyde delivered a big dose of candor and some reflective second guessing. He said, among other things, he might not try to impeach President Clinton if he had it to do all over again.

The 81-year-old DuPage County Republican, who mastered the art of disagreeing without being disagreeable, will be stepping down in January of 2007 after 16 terms and 32 years.

"I am leaving voluntarily, but it's because my physical strength is ebbing. Father Time and Mother Nature have been pursuing me, and I'm 81," said Rep. Henry Hyde, (R)-Illinois.

Hyde is known for his eloquence, courtesy, civility and his fierce partisanship on behalf of conservative GOP principles, including authorship of the Hyde Amendment, which outlawed federal funding of abortions, and leadership of the House judiciary committee in the impeachment of President Clinton for perjury and obstruction of justice stemming from an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

When asked if he would go through with the Clinton impeachment process again, Hyde said he wasn't sure. It turned into a personal and political embarrassment for Hyde when an extra-marital affair he had in the 1960's became public amid accusations of hypocrisy. He called the affair a youthful indiscretion.

LINK

The veteran DuPage County congressman acknowledged that Republicans went after Clinton in part to enact revenge against the Democrats for impeaching President Richard Nixon 25 years earlier.

Andy Shaw asked Hyde if the Clinton proceedings were payback for Nixon's impeachment.

"I can't say it wasn't, but I also thought that the Republican party should stand for something, and if we walked away from this, no matter how difficult, we could be accused of shirking our duty, our responsibility," said Hyde.

Hyde's comments reflect what Democrats have been saying for years about the Clinton impeachment. It will be interesting to see what happens when Hyde's comments hit the national media.

Passing the Buck
By PAUL KRUGMAN

he United States spends far more on health care than other advanced countries. Yet we don't appear to receive more medical services. And we have lower life-expectancy and higher infant-mortality rates than countries that spend less than half as much per person. How do we do it?

An important part of the answer is that much of our health care spending is devoted to passing the buck: trying to get someone else to pay the bills.

According to the World Health Organization, in the United States administrative expenses eat up about 15 percent of the money paid in premiums to private health insurance companies, but only 4 percent of the budgets of public insurance programs, which consist mainly of Medicare and Medicaid. The numbers for both public and private insurance are similar in other countries - but because we rely much more heavily than anyone else on private insurance, our total administrative costs are much higher.

According to the health organization, the higher costs of private insurers are "mainly due to the extensive bureaucracy required to assess risk, rate premiums, design benefit packages and review, pay or refuse claims." Public insurance plans have far less bureaucracy because they don't try to screen out high-risk clients or charge them higher fees.

And the costs directly incurred by insurers are only half the story. Doctors "must hire office personnel just to deal with the insurance companies," Dr. Atul Gawande, a practicing physician, wrote in The New Yorker. "A well-run office can get the insurer's rejection rate down from 30 percent to, say, 15 percent. That's how a doctor makes money. ... It's a war with insurance, every step of the way."

Isn't competition supposed to make the private sector more efficient than the public sector? Well, as the World Health Organization put it in a discussion of Western Europe, private insurers generally don't compete by delivering care at lower cost. Instead, they "compete on the basis of risk selection" - that is, by turning away people who are likely to have high medical bills and by refusing or delaying any payment they can.
