Purity of Essence
Right-wing media hatchet man and former CBS News correspondent Bernard Goldberg is shilling his latest tome of venomous conservative rage, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America (and Al Franken Is #37). In it, Goldberg aims to protect American culture from the likes of supposed liberal icons such as Michael Moore, Jimmy Carter, Barbara Streisand and more.
While Goldberg has already been definitively bitch-slapped by the likes of Al Franken and Jon Stewart, the Avenging Angel is only too happy to pile on. Here is the Angry One's alternative to Goldberg's Top 100 Right-Wing Hate Fest:

Has anyone seen Katie? Her Scientology chaperone let her out of sight for just three seconds, and now we can't find her.
Oh, wait....there she is, rocking back and forth in the corner talking about how I'm the most wonderful man, and we'll always be in our honeymoon phase.
All praise be to Xenu.

Thanks for the birthday wishes on the previous thread.
As if in celebration, my 82 year old mother, freshly cleared to drive after her knee replacement surgery, went out and ran into a parked car. She wasn't hurt and didn't injure anyone else.
But there's another thing about getting older (QuiltLady, I'm fifty-three and catching up to you daily)... sooner or later you're probably going to get to deal with at least one parent who's losing/lost it.
This being a grownup isn't all it was cracked up to be, y'know?
All praise be to Xenu.
I'm not up on Scientology, so I had to find what this "Xenu" was.

What Scientology is, is it addresses man as a spiritual being. Okay? And it gives people tools that they apply to their lives to improve conditions. And that is what it is.
If someone doesn't want to be a criminal anymore, I can give them tools that can better their life. You have no idea how many people want to know what Scientology is.
This being a grownup isn't all it was cracked up to be, y'know?
My Grandfather lived to be 90. In the final two years he kept having strokes, but nothing could keep him down.
In the end he was strapped to the hospital bed, because all he wanted to do was find his Cadillac and ride off into the sunset.
If someone doesn't want to be a criminal anymore, I can give them tools that can better their life. You have no idea how many people want to know what Scientology is.
Indeed, Scientology has truly given us many tools.

So is anyone aware of Muffley's phone call to the Russian president being lifted wholesale from Bob Newhart? I understand Newhart was doing a similar routine at the time...

Anyway, though, Bob Newhart's 'comedy' makes my ass sore even when I'm standing up.

Then there was Abe Lincoln's press agent, and Abner Doubleday pitching his new game of baseball to a skeptical game company executive.
Mer--kudos on your mom.
Spinoza was making very bad puns this morning, worthy in extremis of 'damn you, Spinoza!'
"War is too important to be left to the generals," Clemenceau* famously said, and he acted on his theory: After becoming premier in 1917 at age seventy-six, he visited the front lines one day a week for the rest of the war. He cashiered many generals, made sure others obeyed orders to prepare defenses in depth, and balanced the demands of very different military commanders and balky coalition allies.

Newhart pretty much *owned* the phone-call routine back in the day.
Yeah, I was a big fan as a kid... I thought I read an interview a few years ago where he alluded to doing a "president calls the russians" routine... well, now I have something to do this afternoon!

Speaking of classic movies tonight on TCM ... Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the 1953 original! You'll never fall asleep again ...

Speaking of humor (but not Bob Newhart), Garry Trudeau pretty well nails it in today's Doonesbury. Ain't all that funny ha-ha, more like funny-peculiar...check it out at www.doonesbury.com/strip/dailydose/
Like I said, "Pod people!"
Anyone got the heads up for tonight's Scifi original?
Hi guys,
Hit and run here. Just heard on CNN that a huge bomb went off in Iraq killing at least 58 and untold number injured with extensive damage.
Freedom is on the march! In fact, there is a virtual explosion of freedom those in their last throes cannot ignore. Oy.
We need a new Kubrick to make a movie that points out the insanity of this new post-cold-war era.
I would be surprised if someone of the status and experience of Peter Sellers had lifted it wholesale.
Well, that was probably an inaccurate choice of words... from what I know, Sellers pretty much ad-libbed most of that. I was thinking more of Kubrick and/or Southern getting the idea to treat the call like Newhart's routine, and passing that on.
Happy birthday to mer's mom!
more like her please...
Bigvic--that is indeed horrible news. And the beat goes on.
The whole Doonesbury series of the past few days has been quite good.
the original invasion owns the remake.

Hi Sallyh, I'm not sure how that got started. I remember when I finally built up the nerve to post here, if I preceded spinoza, especially close to the beginning of a new thread, he started the "damn you" thing. I decided to reciprocate. I thought it was really funny. And I think he is terribly witty. I love the wit on this online magazine.

"I do not avoid women, Mandrake. But I do deny them my essence."
James Kroeger rails against those who want us to view China as our enemy:
"In yesterday’s New York Times a senior Chinese military official, Maj. Gen. Zhu Chenghu, was quoted as saying, “If the Americans draw their missiles and position-guided ammunition on to the target zone on China’s territory, I think we will have to respond with nuclear weapons.” Hawks on China are already waving this report around as ‘evidence’ that the Chinese are some kind of great threat to America and that we need to start preparing for war with them. This kind of talk makes me feel like the world I’m in is truly insane."
"The revelation that the Chinese would use nuclear weapons to defend themselves from an attack by the United States should be a surprise to no one. The single most important question we can ask right now is why should Americans be stupid enough get themselves involved in another country’s civil war? That’s precisely the mistake we made in the 1960’s, when we inserted ourselves into Viet Nam’s civil war. Great outcome. Why would we expect to fare any better inserting ourselves into a civil war that happens to involve the most populous nation on the planet?"
"America’s commitment to Taiwan has got to be one of the most profoundly stupid commitments that the American people have ever been “saddled with.” No vital American interest is served by our pledge to defend Taiwan’s present rebel government from attempts by Beijing to impose its sovereignty on them. We no longer have any rational reason to fear the “spread of Communism.” After all, the People’s Republic of China is communist in name, only. Their economy’s dynamism is driven by free enterprise and profit incentives. They might not have property laws that look anything like ours, but they are still free to obtain the right to use property to make themselves rich. With the success they’ve had with this approach, there is a zero percent chance that they would ever decide to follow the Stalinist model of economic organization."
"Why then should American leaders risk the lives of millions of American and Taiwanese and Chinese citizens? To help the inhabitants of Taiwan to avoid the nightmarish alternative of living in modern China? Nightmarish? Precisely what kind of horror would the Taiwanese people be subjected to if they were to simply submit to the political authority of Beijing? None, that I can see. It is a given that the Chinese people in Taiwan would have just as much autonomy as Hong Kong has experienced since 2000. There is no reason to believe that the insurrectionists in Taiwan would suffer in any material way if they were to submit to Beijing. Besides, life in China these days is pretty good because their economic future is looking very, very bright. Anyone who has a decent grasp of history should be able to see that democracy in mainland China is an inevitability, perhaps in the next couple of decades."
"Let’s just hope that maybe with some People Power we will be able to pressure the war-crazy lunatics in Congress to return to the realm of sanity."
Here's hoping...

SteveLG - Good that your Mum wasn't hurt nor anyone else.
But you know, since she's allowed to drive, you might want to talk to her about becoming qualified again to run. Running is pretty hard on our joints and she might want to take a brush-up course at the Y - or maybe on a high school track....

The applause was polite, at best. He was in full "aww shucks, I'm just a dumb ole country boy from Texas" mode. Apparently the Rove affair is taking its toll. Or maybe the investigation is getting too close to home...

That stuff too. The biggest bonus was what a wonderful father he turned out to be. I had hoped, but the love, devotion, patience, and pure unselfishness he displayed toward our kids made him a candidate for father of the year.

No one said it better than Carl Schurz. Schurz on "The True Americanism"
What is the rule of honor to be observed by a power so strongly and so advantageously situated as this Republic is? Of course I do not expect it meekly to pocket real insults if they should be offered to it. But, surely, it should not, as our boyish jingoes wish it to do, swagger about among the nations of the world, with a chip on its shoulder, shaking its fist in everybody's face. Of course, it should not tamely submit to real encroachments upon its rights. But, surely, it should not, whenever its own notions of right or interest collide with the notions of others, fall into hysterics and act as if it really feared for its own security and its very independence.
As a true gentleman, conscious of his strength and his dignity, it should be slow to take offense. In its dealings with other nations it should have scrupulous regard, not only for their rights, but also for their self-respect. With all its latent resources for war, it should be the great peace power of the world. It should never forget what a proud privilege and what an inestimable blessing it is not to need and not to have big armies or navies to support. It should seek to influence mankind, not by heavy artillery, but by good example and wise counsel. It should see its highest glory, not in battles won, but in wars prevented. It should be so invariably just and fair, so trustworthy, so good tempered, so conciliatory, that other nations would instinctively turn to it as their mutual friend and the natural adjuster of their differences, thus making it the greatest preserver of the world's peace.
This is not a mere idealistic fancy. It is the natural position of this great republic among the nations of the earth. It is its noblest vocation, and it will be a glorious day for the United States when the good sense and the self-respect of the American people see in this their "manifest destiny." It all rests upon peace. Is not this peace with honor? There has, of late, been much loose speech about "Americanism." Is not this good Americanism? It is surely today the Americanism of those who love their country most. And I fervently hope that it will be and ever remain the Americanism of our children and our children's children.
So what's the deal with the Mary Tyler Moore and the Chocolate Factory pictures a keep seeing?
I know the people who wrote the Xenu page, and, seriously, when you're dealing with Scientologists, you have to document like a newly licensed attorney when writing about them or their pet beliefs. In part this is due to Scn's known litigiousness (hard to deal with the truth) because the doctrine of Xenu is fully expounded in a copyrighted secret religious scripture. But Scientologists coming across the page would like to edit it totally away, so having all the sourcing there kind of makes it clear that the people who wrote the Xenu article know what they're talking about. And they do.
The answer to the question is, No, Katie Holmes does not know about Xenu. Yet.

Esophagitis frequently occurs when acid-containing fluid flows from the stomach back into the esophagus. Other possible causes include excessive vomiting, surgery and some medications.

Don't imagine their stuff has aged all that well (comedy seldom does... even L. Bruce and Lord Buckley records don't leave most of us in tears, gasping for breath) but JW and RS certainly bent my sense of humor in a particular way, for better or worse.

The brain beneath my tin-foil hat says her source for Plame was... Rummy!
I'll take friendly wagers on this - if she was threatening people with going to the Secretary of Defense then there is a distinct possibility that's who her confidential source is - and he of course got this info from his boss.
This will out - wagers could be some sort of quid pro quo - I live in montreal and this a damn sexy city - I'd be glad to show an atriot or two around - Chicago NY Philly are all great cities and I'd love to be shown around myself

Back in the day, a looooooooooooong time ago, Mr. QL introduced me Red Skelton and Imogene Cocoa following an indulgence in a bit of natures own weed. Good lord, I never before or since laughed so hard.
W.C. Fields, Mae West have to be right up there. They broke new ground, especially Ms. West. My proper Quaker mother thought she was such a slut and demeaned womanhood. It was what I aspired to for the longest time.
I'm not sure who outed Plame, but I am convinced that someone very senior in the regime did so, possibly more than one individual.

guess i was thinking 'comedic actor' - which i have to give to sellers hands down, if only for his range. groucho was great, but he was always groucho. skelton was hilarious as a sketch comedian, but sellers still has him beat on big screen (IMO). standups - well, there is a whole other basket of fruit (easy, Uncle Smokes).
but the funniest camedy troupe ever was Sketchy Details. I know, I was in it. I crack me up. Python ran a close second, especially in light of the amount of material we, um, borrowed from them.

So if Novak did not reveal that Valerie Plame was a secret agent, who did? The evidence strongly suggests it was none other than Joe Wilson himself. Let me walk you through the steps that lead to this conclusion.
The first reference to Plame being a secret agent appears in The Nation, in an article by David Corn published July 16, 2003, just two days after Novak’s column appeared. It carried this lead: “Did Bush officials blow the cover of a U.S. intelligence officer working covertly in a field of vital importance to national security — and break the law — in order to strike at a Bush administration critic and intimidate others?”
Since Novak did not report that Plame was “working covertly” how did Corn know that’s what she had been doing?
Corn does not tell his readers and he has responded to a query from me only by pointing out that he was asking a question, not making a “statement of fact.” But in the article, he asserts that Novak “outed” Plame “as an undercover CIA officer.” Again, Novak did not do that. Rather, it is Corn who is, apparently for the first time, “outing” Plame’s “undercover” status.
Where's the condemnation of David Corn?

Camping rugs = indoor/outdoor carpet 8x12' x 2 - for under the awning.

A few issues with this Plame case
#1 - Why did the Liberal Media aid in the outing of her?
#2 - Which Liberal outed her? (You don't think a Clintonista would remember her?)
#3 - Why did Plame use her position for the purposes of nepotism?
Remember, the Brewster Jennings link would have never occured if Plame didn't list Brewster Jennings as her job while donating money to the Democrats.

SIMPLY A LIE
July 11
Earliest possible chance Novak's article, which will out Valarie Plame's name and occupation to the public is sent out when Novak's regular syndicated column is distributed by Creators Syndicate on the AP wire.
Here's what Novak wrote and what was released on July 11
"Wilson never worked for the CIA, but his wife, Valerie Plame, is an Agency operative on weapons of mass destruction. Two senior administration officials told me Wilson's wife suggested sending him to Niger to investigate the Italian report. The CIA says its counter-proliferation officials selected Wilson and asked his wife to contact him. "I will not answer any question about my wife," Wilson told me."
You fascist "a holes" are such gullible willful suckers. You my friend are really dangerous to this nation.

But there is a group among them which would rather see America face reversals, military, diplomatic, and economic, than see George W. Bush and the GOP get credit for successes. When they eagerly predict disaster, desperately search for and loudly proclaim the slightest evidence of failure, and then deny the existence of success when it stares the public straight in the face, one naturally wonders about what they are rooting for."

Today, following her heated questioning of VA Secretary Jim Nicholson about why his agency is “unexpectedly” facing a $1 billion budget shortfall, Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) spoke on the floor of the Senate to introduce her amendment to provide $1.42 billion to fix the problem. Murray, who introduced the amendment with Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-WV), tried three times to increase funding for the VA within both the budget and Emergency War Supplemental, but her efforts were rejected on party-line votes.

Oh, sure - *anybody* can support the troops *after* they're done fighting. Jeez.
It's not a q--
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Cripes, Richards. You've established you're a fucktard. We know this. We've known it for DAYS. You don't need to keep proving it to us!
(To be honest, this pathetic motherfucker isn't worth wasting the "Z"s on... but I was bored, so...)
The Real Cocksucker Richards troll is one numb-nutted fool, eh?
Hoser.
That's not our fault, that's the fault of the terrorists. Interesting that you take credit for this nonsense - just who are you? a paid shill perhaps? and by the by going into irak was the inspiration for all the present day terrorist attacks - gwb is al-queda's best friend and recruiting officer
you can't just support the troops if you were cheering for Saddam to beat them in Iraq.
Saddam is behind the bombing in irak? I'd swear he was found in a spiderhole a year and a half ago - and sorry to disappoint - but I'd like to see an end to this crap - as westerners we are now all targets - the targets are insanely random - I have kids - my friends have kids - how about you?
apologies atriots - hey rc did you read the link I posted at 5:02? are you proud of the grand old party today?
Is it just me, or have all the trolls and rethugs suddenly vanished? How refreshing!
Are Sick Cheny, Ol' Turd Blossom and Bolton now experiencing what can most accurately be characterized as Karmic Retribution? Is Judy Miller exactly were she should be? Ahhh, the drama!
Who needs TV any more?
My bad, I see that RC has appeared, above. This is a village that STILL HAS its idiot...
"Right-wing media hatchet man and former CBS News correspondent Bernard Goldberg is shilling his latest tome of venomous conservative rage, 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America (and Al Franken Is #37)."
I have a list of my own:
It's called "100 People Who Need to Go Fuck Themselves."
Goldberg is somewhere on there.
well, the Communists in 1917 Russia and the Leftist Democrats in 2005 America were of the same size, basically. A vast minority, both of whom had dangerous ideas for how to run their countries.
R.C. Richards
Hello?
Is there anybody IN there?
Nod if you can hear me!
Is there anybody home?
