How many more have to die for Bush, his lies, his greasy pal Chalabi, his political Svengali, Rove, and for neo-con phantasms of grandure?
Give me a figure so I don't bother the wretched cons with this simple question anymore.

Where are the cats today?
Of course, I can understand how Bush's comic theatre experiment about Social Seucurity, which I guess is part of an all new "Bamboozle-palooza Tour," could edge out the peaceful pussy cats, or even the old Tom in the old shack that atrios told us has it out for Jonah Goldberg's eyes.
Has anyone noticed how rapidly bush is becoming a lame duck.

NO MORE HOT DOGS
(Hasil Adkins)
Well, I'm gonna put your head on my wall, just like I told you baby, you can't hide no more.
You can't eat no more, no more hot dogs, I'm gonna put your head, I put it on my wall.
Now, baby don't you be, be afraid, 'cause you don't wanna eat, eat none today.
Gonna put your head on my wall, and then you can't eat no more hot dogs.
Come on baby, don't you be late, I want your head, I want it tonight.
Cut your head of at half past eight, I'll have it on my wall about a half past ten.
Yeah, come on baby, I want that head, come on baby, I want that head.
I want your head to hang on my wall tonight, now honey, don't you be afraid.
'Cause I'm gonna cut your head off, about a half past eight.
Just like I said, I'm gonna cut your head off, and you can eat no more hot dogs
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! ...

I was afraid it would become Zen-like....I hate it when that happens.
But then again there was a diary at Booman, and now it's at Kos about aawoman apparently at the end of her emotional rope over the apparent re-deployment of her husband, and it affected me.....Bush lied and I contend knew he was outright lying to start a war purely for profit.
War for profit strikes me a patently immoral, and I also read that Blair is in real trouble now, though I think that labour will win. Yet here, Coked-out Roberts snorted up a whole line apparently, in her glowing adoration of Bush [and as Brad DeLong called it....]"The Flying Monkeys's Circular Firing Squad." I knew NPR and CPB had to start singing the administration message, but outright and blatent "scat movie quality" media whoring is hard to bear.
So, the questions.

DWD,
Well, several Atriots seem to like it, which bodes well. I have no problem with a black Ford, and I like Martin Freeman on the Office, so I can see him as a good Arthur Dent. But I have a real bug up my butt about Sam Rockwell, always have.

NYMary, I will probably go and see it but my feelings on literature and film are a little unusual. Film can take a really mediocre book and make it seem so much more important (Jaws, anyone? Even though it was written by a friend of mine's brother, it was a mediocre book at best) And conversely, take a great book and make a mediocre movie (Steppenwolf?)
I think some literature is made to be filmed and some is made to be read. I cast Douglas Adams in the latter category.

Haven't seen HHGTTG yet but Sam Rockwell seemed a perfect cast, and Mos Def a real left-field but oddly appropriate choice. The guy from The Office as Arthur Dent, pretty good. I might have gone with Eddie Izzard but that's just me.

true, the real charm in Douglas Adams' work is the dry-as-burnt-toast delivery, works best with an audience of one. I wonder if they managed to capture it on film or decided to underline the laughs.

When is a benefit cut not a benefit cut? When does the repeal of planned future tax cuts constitute a tax increase? When White House spokesman and idiot non-savant Scott McClellan says so.
Perhaps the only thing more effective for the Republicans than having Chauncey Gardner as President of the United States is having him as press secretary...

I thought Bill Maher was going to beg Jeff Gannon to forgive him for asking him such "tough" questions. A kinder, more compassionate interview might not be that easy to find. Perhaps Maher wishes to remain in the good graces of his fans among the conservatives that make up his audience.

It reminded me of some kind of zany 60's psychodelic comedy with woody allenor peter sellers. I got a definite "Casino Royale" vibe from it.
Just curious ... Has Atrios said a single word about how Air America is shafting its supporters by signing an exclusive contract with those Clear Channel shills and Rupert Murdoch butt-bunnies at XM?

everyone does eventually, dumbass.
Hell, look up the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City. Clear Channel is in a pissing contest with House of Blues, paying outrageuous fees to all comers just to be the biggest cock on the block.
The artists are the real winners. Cash in, get out. I say, ride the wave for all it's worth!
Air America finally has smart management. Like I said elsewhere, Kerry was a good man but a good man was not going to win in 2004. If these fuckers want to play by the lassiez faire rules, fuck'em. fuck 'em till they can't fuck no more.
warmed over Rush Limbaugh ain't getting them far, after all. You heard the Limbo recently? Claims space aliens are to blame for his Vicodin-enhanced deafness. The Supreme Court just gave him the straight-arm, Limbo is going finally going down.
Smart, ruthless motherfuckers running Air America now. Good. Springer in the morning. Just inked a deal with XM. It's all good.

On the contrary, sunzoo. All you're boorish prating aside, Air America has driven itself into insignificance -- much like the party they claim fealty toward. Springer was an embarassing slap in the face enough -- but XM has butchered AA beyond recognition; chopping up existing programming, inserted Alan Colmes as a bona fide liberal, etc. That AA has thrown their lot to these goobers presages their pending appearance at fuckedcompany.com. And good riddance. They are becoming a microcosm of the Democratic party itself -- ignoring their staunchest supporters and catering to the mouth-breathers.

Tonight I went to a town hall hosted by my US Rep, Brian Baird. There were over 200 people, all aware of what's going on with SS and the Bush admin. It was refreshing. Baird even joked about the fact he has no thought police out checking the bumper stickers on our cars-all opinions were welcomed.
Overwhelmingly, they thought privitization was a really bad idea.

The Party of the (Dead) People
As expected, the Democrat Governor of Wisconsin, Jim Doyle, vetoed a bill that would have required residents to show {gasp} photo ID before casting ballots.
Ah, yeah, we wouldn’t want the Democratic Party not to be able to cast multiple fraudulent votes on behalf of corpses, family pets, and make-believe people, now, would we?
Ahem.
On a different, but related, topic, I wouldn’t ordinarily divulge personal info on this site, outside of the threads, but I can’t help but address Doyle’s claim that the ID bill would disenfranchise elderly voters. In two words, that’s bulls**t.
In fact, the notion that the voting rights of elderly people somehow would be infringed, by requiring photo ID’s to cast valid ballots, is so completely asinine, it doesn’t quite rise to the level of bullsh**t.
Take my parents, for example.
They’re both in their 70’s and indigent. My mother survives on SSI checks and lives in Section 8 housing. My father survives on Social Security, he’s a convicted felon, and he resides in an apartment so tiny, Michael Moore could and probably would use it merely as closet space.
But they both have photo ID’s.
Everybody who wants a photo ID can obtain one, in point of fact. For Pete’s sake, how do you think elderly indigents cash their Social Security or SSI checks? How, pray tell, do they apply for Medi-Caid or food stamps? With notes from Santa Claus???
And if the Democrats are worried about non-ambulatory seniors, who somehow don’t already have photo ID’s, not being able to validate their ballots, then they should appropriate some money to canvass nursing homes or hospices to hand out free photo ID’s. The GOP probably would fund that effort in its own regard.
Look, I’m going to be real blunt here. The Democratic Party is disintegrating as we speak. Merely over the past 15 years, they’ve lost: (i) 13 net U.S. Senate seats, (ii) 65 net U.S. House seats, and (iii) eighteen state governorships have shifted away from them. And they haven’t won a bare majority of the national vote since well before most of Howard Dean’s supporters were born.
And one of the major factors keeping them afloat, as it were, is that of systematic, organized election fraud.
They don’t want photo ID requirements because that will curtail them from paying homeless people, union thugs, and college students, to vote multiple times, in multiple precincts.
End of story.
But in the final analysis, however, these tactics will not save them.
Politics is a lot like life. Grifters might get away with things, even for quite some time, but they always wind up getting caught.
It just works out that way.

as for your voting rant - what can be said of such stupidity - it is easier to believe the progressive conspiracy theory of Diebold giving the election to the thugs than your stupid rant about demos attempting to get people to vote twice. etc..
