Apparently Uzbekistan has had it with the US human rights record under the Bush regime, they've canned the airbase -- too embarrassing to be hosting a rogue state.
I think that if the dems ever get back 2 branches of govt., that they will let repubs filibuster their court nominees, cut back voting in the house to 15 min. And investigate the president everytime the repubs/media says boo. I like Reid and Dean. I think they are fighters. But dems like Joementum, and Biden ruin it for everybody else. After what Joementum did with lecturing Clinton publicly, why is he so silent about Rovegate, Gannongate, Enrongate, Medicare billgate, Delaygate, etc.?
For example, if the dems ever got back the WH, the first thing that they should do is tell the media that they are going to have the exact same amount of press conferences that Bush had. And they will use anoymous sources as Bush did. And that they will deny access to anybody who prints negative stories about the WH as Bush did. If a reporter complains about it, ask why they have a double standard, and then promply cut off his/her acess.
Has anybody said "DA BLAB SMZ!" yet?
I thought not.

We're like lemmings we are. Hey the war on terror is now called the global struggle against extremism. that's just great, change what it's called and it becomes something else, remind anyone of a certain george orwell book? the ministry of truth produces lies, and the ministry of peace produces war. wonderful times we live in, wonderful peaceful benevolent times....
America agrees more with the dem philosophy than the repub philosophy. Yet dems cannot get elect proportianaly. The repubs have these hot button issues that always gets their people out. This race is a test. How can dems push certain wedge issues to depress the repub turnout, while boosting the dem turnout?

i believe the national coverage is also important. when the local cheerleaders see their own personal bozo "expouse" bullshit, it has the same effect as a pep rally. but maybe when they see someone else they might actually hear some of the words and react with a more reasonable "WTF?"
plus independents who are on the fence or don't bother get a better view of what is happening in a national perspective.

NLRB Green Lights Ban on Off-Duty Fraternizing Among Co-Workers
Workers Rights Watch Eye on the NLRBIt is a regular pastime for co-workers to chat during a coffee break, at a union hall, or over a beer about workplace issues, good grilling recipes, and celebrity gossip. Yet a recent ruling by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) allows employers to ban off-duty fraternizing among co-workers, severely weakening the rights of free association and speech, and violating basic standards of privacy for America's workers.

Private Prison Industry Rebound From Uncertain Times
NEW YORK (AP) -- Though state governments are no longer fueling a private prison boom, the industry's major companies are upbeat -- thanks in large measure to a surge of business from federal agencies seeking to house fast-rising numbers of criminals and detained aliens.
Since 2000, the number of federal inmates in private facilities -- prisons and halfway houses -- has increased by two-thirds to more than 24,000. Thousands more detainees not convicted of crimes are confined in for-profit facilities, which now hold roughly 14 percent of all federal prisoners, compared to less than 6 percent of state inmates.

"Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee said he would vote against Bolton — if given the chance — and would oppose a recess appointment if it is accurate that Bolton’s form was originally incorrect. “Any intimidation of the facts, or suppression of information getting to the public which led us to the war, absolutely should preclude him from a recess appointment,” said Chafee, of Rhode Island."

are we in a cave? seems to be an annoying echo....
I was in Cincinatti just a little over a week ago Friday, visiting Kings Island with the kids. For the brief 30-45 minutes it took to drive out of range of the Cincy radio stations there were comments regarding the race. They were brief because the race had not become a hot topic yet, but they all stated that they liked the fact Hackett was a veteran of the Iraq police action(emphasis mine).
Yet in the end they all expressed hopes that Hackett would move or legislate from the center when it came to taxes and such.
I think that if these guys were fair in their comments then this race could come down to the undeclared. Those whose opinions are not being exposed to the public. This looks a lot like the way the presidential election was being exit polled. A lot of conservatives simply weren't participating in the polls and as such were creating a large skew in the results which made the race seem too lopsided in favor of Kerry.
I figure a lot of these people do not trust those running the exit polls. They probably associate them with the liberal media they hear about and as such do not voice their opinions in polls.
If this trend continues today, or next week for that matter come Tuesday then the results could be unpredictable.

Great idea on the press, but I would like to think that the dems are above that sort of thing. But a good threat, and even a month or so of that kind of treatment of the press might just get the point across.
If I had the resources Air America would never need to go begging for cash again and MSNBC would be the media arm of the DNC. This is why the dems always lose with the issues on their side. When races are really close Fox and the Sinlair Borg make the difference between victory and defeat. Why dont the dems get the lesson, and then make a strong run at MSNBC now that it is weak. Forget about making money off the network. They should make it its mouthpiece. Then they will start winning elections again.

How the hell can an employer have the right to tell employees with whom they can associate with when they are not working?
I can see that you might not want cops hanging out with drug dealers but apart from situations like that I can see no reason except that if you keep the employees apart they are certainly never going to be able to do anything horrible such as form a union.
"Also Friday, 35 Democratic senators and one independent, Sen. Jim Jeffords of Vermont, sent a letter to Bush urging against a recess appointment. “Sending someone to the United Nations who has not been confirmed by the United States Senate and now who has admitted to not being truthful on a document so important that it requires a sworn affidavit is going to set our efforts back in many ways,” the letter said."

Newttons,
The dems cannot affor top be high and mighty anymore. The refs have either left the playing field, or are giving all the calls to repubs. The dems need to be mean motherfks with the press/repubs. This is why someone like Wes Clark is an attractive candidate. Can you imagine what he would do if they swift boated him. Not only would he defend himself, but he would use his military contacts to swift boat the swift boaters.

Two Britons among dead in Iraq as constitution deadline looms
BAGHDAD (AFP) - Two British security guards and at least 22 Iraqis were killed in attacks across the country as MPs worked against the clock to try to reach agreement on a draft constitution by Monday.
In Amman, Saddam Hussein's defence team charged that the ousted dictator had been attacked by an unidentified man during a court hearing on Thursday discussing charges over the brutal 1991 suppression of a Shiite uprising.
The two British security contractors were killed Saturday when their consular convoy was targeted by a roadside bomb near the southern city of Basra, the Foreign Office said in London.

The way to target MSNBC for a liberal take over is to WATCH liberal programming, wherever it may be on. Look at Fox's example. Fox has a network (not the news) that programs to the lowest common denominator, why? Because people watch. Why have Temptation Island on? To get people to watch. Same with FX. The programming on these networks is often the kind of programming that people that watch Fox News bloviate over. The reason that Fox News does what it does is so people watch. If it was more profitable to have liberal views expressed, how long would it take for Fox to dump Brit, Bill, et. al.? So maybe, vote with the remote.
cherries are delicious also.

You said:
"I just hope that when we win again, that we can act more grown up than the R's have been these last 11 years."
Fuck that shit. Dems need to force repubs to meet in the basement and cut off their mikes. This is how the dems got in the situation that they are in. By playing nice and fair. When the Terminator looses next year, the first thing the dem govornor needs to do is redistrict all the repubs out of office. That alone might switch the house. When the dems get back congress, the first thing they need to do is cut off fund for PBS until Moyers is on, and WSJ is off. When was the last time the dems won by playing nice. The repubs rewrote all the rules-they are going to have to deal with it.
actually the rebranding of the GWOT as a Global War on Violent Extremism is quite worrying.
How easy it is to brand someone as a 'violent extremist' as opposed to 'terrorist.'
Bizarre too that many 'violent extremists' will now be hunting 'violent extremists.'
"You are before the court because you were extreme and violent in your denunciations of your 'elected' officials.'
Has anyone thought of taking Orwell's 1984 and adapting it to the screen using the last five years as the reference point?
Funny you should mention that, because there's another lesser known 'nightmare utopia' novel - Player Piano, by Kurt Vonnegut - which I think in many ways speaks even more directly to the crisis America is now facing than does Orwell's work.
Admittedly, Player Piano does not deal so much with the subjects of political repression and ideological conformity as it does class divisions, the dignity of labor, and how the relentless emphasis on industrial automation and maximum efficiency ultimately deprives a large segment of society of the opportunity to lead meaningful and satisfying lives.
But those political and ideological elements are certainly there as well. IMO, this is a novel that almost begs to be brought up to date (it was, after all, written in 1952, only a few years after Orwell's novel) and adopted to the medium of cinema. In the right hands I really think it could become a very illuminating and important film.
..

Sallyh, just be sure to get the seasonings right. Those should be teaspoons not tablespoons! That's what happens when I type in too much of a hurry!

Turkey meatloaf is pretty good, too. Make is like regular meatloaf. My Whole Foods makes a turkey meatloaf that I just love. They add onions, carrots and a bit of spinach.
It's great.
Fuck that shit. Dems need to force repubs to meet in the basement and cut off their mikes. This is how the dems got in the situation that they are in. By playing nice and fair. When the Terminator looses next year, the first thing the dem govornor needs to do is redistrict all the repubs out of office. That alone might switch the house
Now that's what I'm talking about.
I likes the cut of your gib, Live Free.
GWPDA, Irate Scholar:
I've always done them with tomato
sauce myself, but it could work.
Use about a half of
cup of breadcrumbs,
a half a cup of the onion,
and a half a cup of the parsley.

With all due respect, nobody reads this shit except lefties who will already vote for a dem. If MSNBC were bought by a left wing group, not anly will the hard core dems never watch CNN again, but the middle of the road voter will watch it to.

I am really blown away by the numbers and $ raised by the netizens for Hackett in less than a week: over $350,000.
Or you could try using Tofu- much healthier for you.
Tofu scares me. I grew up in Wisconsin, dude, we had red meat for all three meals.

Did we get a chance to talk about this?
Methuen was winning 3-1 when assistant coach Domingo Infante instructed the pitcher in Spanish to try to pick off a runner at second base. After the unsuccessful attempt, the umpire called time-out and spoke with a Little League official who was at the game. The unidentified umpire then decreed that only English could be spoken.
"All I could hear was, 'We cannot allow this,"' Mosher said. "At this point I was baffled why we could only speak English."
Mosher said he challenged the ruling, but the Little League official said it would stand. Infante then left the game in protest, which Mosher said demoralized his pitcher and catcher, who speak little English. Methuen lost the game 10-6, though the team remains alive in the tournament.
Anyone know a Cabalist or a Hassid I could pay to put a Hebrew or Yiddish curse on a despicable German woman?
actually the rebranding of the GWOT as a Global War on Violent Extremism is quite worrying.
How easy it is to brand someone as a 'violent extremist' as opposed to 'terrorist.'
I think that was the very point of the re-branding.<
