Continuing topic from previous thread -- al Hurra For Everything, the US propaganda station for the middle east, is being investigated for procurement abuse. It may be linked to the repuke puppet at PBS at Tomlinson and some shady Lebanese types that were put in charge of the local operations of al Hurra for Everything. Turd Blossom and Man Hands also implicated.

The Financial Times had more today on al Hurra for Everything, it seems like the FT thinks a newspaper should do actual reporting:
Al Hurra, the US's Arabic- language satellite television station, which is under investigation for possible financial irregularities, announced yesterday the resignation of its president, Bert Kleinman, for family reasons. The Virginia-based station, which started broadcasting last year, said Mr Kleinman had told the Broadcasting Board of Governors, a federal agency, in July of his wish to return to Los Angeles once a new president was found. The House of Representatives subcommittee on oversight and investigations is looking into al Hurra's financial affairs and programming and will hold a hearing next week.
The PBS puppet Tomlinson is drawn in because he's on the broadcasting board of governors, which oversees the station. APparently the investigation is looking at e-mails that went between him and Turd Blossom. And the overall boss of the station is the public diplomacy person at the State Dept i.e. Man Hands.

Evening batses! I thought you might enjoy my latest column:
IT would be a compelling story," Patrick Fitzgerald said of the narrative Scooter Libby used to allegedly mislead investigators in the Valerie Wilson leak case, "if only it were true."
"Compelling" is higher praise than any Mr. Libby received for his one work of published fiction, a 1996 novel of "murder, passion and heart-stopping chases through the snow" called "The Apprentice." If you read the indictment, you'll see why he merits the critical upgrade. The intricate tale he told the F.B.I. and the grand jury - with its endlessly clever contradictions of his White House colleagues' testimony - is compelling even without the sex and the snow.
The medium is the message. This administration just loves to beguile us with a rollicking good story, truth be damned. The propagandistic fable exposed by the leak case - the apocalyptic imminence of Saddam's mushroom clouds - was only the first of its genre. Given that potboiler's huge success at selling the war, its authors couldn't resist providing sequels once we were in Iraq. As the American casualty toll surges past 2,000 and Veterans Day approaches, we need to remember and unmask those scenarios as well. Our troops and their families have too often made the ultimate sacrifice for the official fictions that have corrupted every stage of this war.
If there's a tragic example that can serve as representative of the rest, it is surely that of Pat Tillman, the Arizona Cardinals defensive back who famously volunteered for the Army in the spring after 9/11, giving up a $3.6 million N.F.L. contract extension. Tillman wanted to pay something back to his country by pursuing the enemy that actually attacked it, Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda. Instead he was sent to fight a war in Iraq that he didn't see coming when he enlisted because the administration was still hatching it in secret. Only on a second tour of duty was he finally sent into Taliban strongholds in Afghanistan, where, on April 22, 2004, he was killed. On April 30, an official Army press release announcing his Silver Star citation filled in vivid details of his last battle. Tillman, it said, was storming a hill to take out the enemy, even as he "personally provided suppressive fire with an M-249 Squad Automatic Weapon machine gun."

It would be a compelling story, if only it were true. Five weeks after Tillman's death, the Army acknowledged abruptly, without providing details, that he had "probably" died from friendly fire. Many months after that, investigative journalists at The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times reported that the Army's initial portrayal of his death had been not only bogus but also possibly a cover-up of something darker. "The records show that Tillman fought bravely and honorably until his last breath," Steve Coll wrote in The Post in December 2004. "They also show that his superiors exaggerated his actions and invented details as they burnished his legend in public, at the same time suppressing details that might tarnish Tillman's commanders."
This fall The San Francisco Chronicle uncovered still more details with the help of Tillman's divorced parents, who have each reluctantly gone public after receiving conflicting and heavily censored official reports on three Army investigations that only added to the mysteries surrounding their son's death. (Yet another inquiry is under way.) "The administration clearly was using this case for its own political reasons," said Patrick Tillman, Pat Tillman's father, who discovered that crucial evidence in the case, including his son's uniform and gear, had been destroyed almost immediately. "This cover-up started within minutes of Pat's death, and it started at high levels."
His accusations are far from wild. The Chronicle found that Gen. John Abizaid, the top American officer in Iraq, and others in his command had learned by April 29, 2004, that friendly fire had killed their star recruit. That was the day before the Army released its fictitious press release of Tillman's hillside firefight and four days before a nationally televised memorial service back home enshrined the fake account of his death. Yet Tillman's parents, his widow, his brother (who served in the same platoon) and politicians like John McCain (who spoke at Tillman's memorial) were not told the truth for another month.
Why? It's here where we find a repeat of the same pattern that drove the Valerie Wilson leak a year earlier. Faced with unwelcome news - from the front, from whistle-blowers, from scandal - this administration will always push back with change-the-subject stunts (like specious terror alerts), fake news or, as with Joseph Wilson, smear campaigns. Much as the White House was out to bring down Mr. Wilson because he threatened to expose its prewar hype of Saddam's supposed nuclear prowess, so the Pentagon might have been out to delay or rewrite a story that could be trouble when public opinion on the war itself was just starting to plummet.

It was an election year besides. Tillman's death came after a month of solid bad news for America and the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign alike: the publication of Richard Clarke's book about pre-9/11 administration counterterrorism fecklessness, the savage stringing up of the remains of American contractors in Falluja, the eruption of Sunni and Shiite insurgencies in six Iraqi cities, the first publication of illicit photos of flag-draped coffins. In the days just after Tillman's death, "60 Minutes II" first broadcast the Abu Ghraib photos, Ted Koppel read the names of the war's fallen on "Nightline," and the Pentagon's No. 2, the Iraqi war architect Paul Wolfowitz, understated by more than 200 the number of American casualties to date (722) in an embarrassing televised appearance before Congress.
Against this backdrop, it would not do to have it known that the most famous volunteer of the war might have been a victim of gross negligence or fratricide. Though Tillman himself was so idealistic that he refused publicity of any kind when in the Army, he was exploited by the war's cheerleaders as a recruitment lure and was needed to continue in that role after his death. (Even though he was adamantly against the Iraq war, according to friends and relatives interviewed by The Chronicle.)
"They blew up their poster boy," Patrick Tillman told The Post; he is convinced that "all the people in positions of authority went out of their way to script" the fake narrative (or, as he puts it, "outright lies") that followed. Pat Tillman's mother, Mary Tillman, was offended to discover that even President Bush wanted a cameo role in this screenplay: she told The Post that he had offered to tape a memorial to her son for a Cardinals game that would be televised shortly before Election Day. (She said no.)
In an interview with The Arizona Republic, Mary Tillman added: "They could have told us upfront that they were suspicious that it was a fratricide but they didn't. They wanted to use him for their purposes. It was good for the administration. It was before the elections. It was during the prison scandal. They needed something that looked good, and it was appalling that they would use him like that."
Appalling but consistent. The Pentagon has often failed to give the troops what they need to fight the war in Iraq, from proper support in manpower and planning at the invasion's outset to effective armor for battle to adequately financed health care for those who make it home. But when it comes to using troops in the duplicitous manner that Mary Tillman describes, the sky's the limit.

Republican corruption could not exist to the extent it does today without the cooperation of the media. The lying media whores should be viewed as the enemy as much as the official wingnuts themselves are, and I really think an organized campaign should be started to take down and discredit the worst offenders. The Media Matters website is a start in that direction, but it is set up to list individual media transgressions as they occur. I think what would make it a more powerful tool against media corruption is if they kept a comprehensive catalogue and scorecard of the lies and distortions of each journalist and pundit with a webpage devoted to each. If one was able to see in one place documented evidence that Bobo lied in print or on TV several dozen times, that would be one hell of an indictment against him.

Pat Tillman's case is itself a replay of the fake "Rambo" escapades ascribed to Pfc. Jessica Lynch a year earlier, just when Operation Iraqi Freedom showed the first tentative signs of trouble and the Pentagon needed a feel-good distraction. As if to echo Mary Tillman, Ms. Lynch told Time magazine this year, "I was used as a symbol." But the troops aren't just used as symbols for the commander in chief's political purposes. They are also drafted to serve as photo-op props and extras, whether in an extravaganza like "Mission Accomplished" or a throwaway dog-and-pony show like the recent teleconference in which the president held a "conversation" with soldiers who sounded as spontaneous as the brainwashed G.I.'s in "The Manchurian Candidate."
As Mr. Bush's approval rating crashes into the 30's, he and the vice president are so desperate to wrap themselves in khaki that on the day of the Libby indictment, they took separate day trips to mouth the usual stay-the-course platitudes before military audiences. If this was a ploy to split the focus of cable news networks and the public, it failed. Perhaps Scooter Libby is hoping that a so-called faulty-memory defense will save him from jail, but too many other Americans are now refreshing their memories of what went down in the plotting and execution of the war in Iraq. What they find are harsh truths and buried secrets that even the most compelling administration scenarios can no longer disguise.

Like all our narcissistic trolls and their mentors, ether projects his own inability to make rational choices onto everyone else and decides we all need protection from ourselves, just as he does, and a firm hand and worthy lies to guide us. And like all the other hollow men, when the persona cracks and drops away, there is no self inside, just an existential void.

Bobo Brooks was spewing this crap on the Newshour last night, too. Does PBS care that they employ a liar?
They also had PNAC neocon hack Randy Scheunemann up against David Corn to discuss the Wilkerson allegations (David, by the way, please learn to dress yourself like a middle-aged adult for public appearances).
Scheunemann lied and spun just as fast and as hard as he could. One claim of his stood out: that the Czech government has never retracted its assertion that Mohammed Atta met with an Iraqi intelligence handler in Prague before the 9/11 attacks.
Well, no, the Czechs have not in fact retracted it. So technically Scheunemann isn't lying. But everyone else has long since concluded that the Czech intelligence service made an elementary mistake, and confused Atta with another individual by the same name.
That lousy tradecraft helped lay the groundwork for a war that's very unpopular with the local electorate -- little wonder that the Czech intelligence service is in no hurry to fess up to their error.
One could complain to the new PBS ombudsman, Michael Gettler, but what's the point? They'll just have on another GOP think-tank shill to spew distortions in Scheunemann's place.
Same shit, different day, same Soviet-style state media masquerading as "balanced coverage".

While global warming has been observed and theories offered as to its cause, greenhouse gas buildup, it's all a pack of lies by alarmist econ nut jobs at worst. At best it's an uproven theory requireing absolute certainty before a response might be considered.

karma, I disagree.
My whitest-guy-in-America boss, who over the course of the last 10 months or so I've learned is not very bright, is a self-described Republican though I don't think he really follows all that closely; he probably just believes that he pays less taxes when they're in control, whether this is right or wrong.
He made a comment when the Schiavo stuff was going on that he "considers himself a Republican" but was concerned about them getting involved in something like that.
Last week, he said, "I don't know much of anything about this DeLay guy, but man, he sure looks like a crook."
I made a post last night that went unremarked (wahhh! doing my Frist impersonation) about how the Dems really need to get their shit together in regards to learning how to deal with GOP "debate" tactics. Such as pointing out people are being rude when they interrupt and shout over you. That it suggests their parents failed to teach them manners or whatever. Because...there's a reason why they do it, and that reason is to keep anyone from the other side from voicing a detailed litany of facts strung together in a chronological and/or comprehensible narrative. Because when that happens, even the dummies can see some truth.
That's why my boss has noticed DeLay. He's gotten an actual narrative, via the media, about what it is that DeLay is charged with doing, and the facts that support that charge.
Even dummies can be smarter when they are given good information.

David Brooks is not "employed" by PBS. He probably gets little more than token remuneration by the Newshour for offering "political analysis." He is always countered by Mark Shields, Tom Oliphant, or someone else who offers the more liberal point of view. The Newshour never counters him with a shrinking violet. Shields more than held his own with him in that broadcast. It is understood by everyone who watches that both are engaging in commentary, not reporting. By all means, criticize Brooks for his analysis and repetition of the standard talking points, but don't criticize the Newshour just because they include his point of view. The real story from Friday's broadcast of the Newshour was the interview of Lawrence Wilkerson, which directly preceded the Shields/Brooks segment. It was devastating in what it said about Cheney and the Bush Administration. Frankly, that should have been the focus of your post.

looks like the deregulated for profit energy system our congress gave us is working real well. what ever happened to ken lay's trial, the rip offs of california electricity consumers...i mean if all the investigations the bush years have precipitated are actually carried out they could compete with the various law and order reruns show for show...
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - The bankrupt utility that supplies power and gas to New Orleans has not set a timetable for restoring service to the city's storm-ravaged eastern neighborhoods and the Lower Ninth Ward, the company's chief executive told an angry crowd of residents on Saturday...
Chief Executive Dan Packer... said...
Entergy did not expect to be able to restart its two gas-fired power plants in New Orleans until summer 2006.
well heck summer of 2006 isn't that far off...and fema is buying the local folks ice cutting saws to use out on the mississippi once winter sets in....

Bill Kristol, 11/04/2005: "After all, the bipartisan Silberman-Robb commission found no evidence of political manufacture and manipulation of intelligence."
Silberman-Robb Commission Report, 3/31/05: "[W]e were not authorized to investigate how policymakers used the intelligence assessments they received from the Intelligence Community. Accordingly, while we interviewed a host of current and former policymakers during the course of our investigation, the purpose of those interviews was to learn about how the Intelligence Community reached and communicated its judgments about Iraq's weapons programs--not to review how policymakers subsequently used that information."
Josh goes on to ask his readers to send in further examples of this rapidly-spreading TP.

Btw, to whomever it was who brought up Macs a while ago -- I hope y'all realize I'm OS-agnostic. I've used it all, pretty much, if it's been in use since 1981. Different tools, sure, but I can deal with most of it. I do have a little adjustment lag switching, but when I'm in an enviro where I have daily use of Win/Mac/U*ix, I flow pretty well with all of it.

David Brooks is not "employed" by PBS. He probably gets little more than token remuneration by the Newshour for offering "political analysis." He is always countered by Mark Shields, Tom Oliphant, or someone else who offers the more liberal point of view.
-focaccina
******************
regardless of who he is employed by, this whole thing about countering him with a more liberal point of view is bogus. bobo is a fraud. he makes shit up. there are different points of view, which should be aired, but made up shit doesn't fit in anywhere. i am sure the neocons have what they think are compelling reasons for using the fake wmd hype to get their invasion of iraq going. i would like to hear them state those reasons publicly and defend them. they don't do that. instead they send people like bobo out to feed us even more bullshit.

Bushy McHitler Chimp Causes Peaceful Frenchies to Riot
Violence in France Enters 10th Night
Security Tightens as Riots Spread Across the Country
By JOHN LEICESTER, AP
ACHERES, France (Nov. 6) - Youths armed with gasoline bombs fanned out from Paris' poor, troubled suburbs to shatter the tranquility of resort cities on the Mediterranean, torching scores of vehicles, nursery schools and other targets during a 10th straight night of arson attacks.

whole cinnamon (to taste)

Our corporate madia won't touch that till it explodes in their faces, if it ever does. An honest to goodness honest media, though, would. In fact, there would already have been a debate over the problems that have been seen so far, and we would be addressing the issues. The "fourth branch of government" was important in the 18th Century, and ever so much more so today. Imagine an America where Sy Hersch is the rule, not the exception, if you can...

you people don't know what the hell you're talking about. glogg (swedish spelling) is the nectar of the gods.
It's not nectar, but it's not bad on a cold winter afternoon. Gets you drunk really fast, before all the eating starts. You take several bottles of the cheapest red wine you can find, heat them up to near-boiling (minus the bottles), add whole cloves and a cinnamon stick and ginger first, and then dole out into glasses with almonds at the bottom. So you get all scared when you find the almonds at the bottom of the mug and think they are your teeth.

You just gotta love his voice of reason. Although he did use the word "insane" quite a bit last night when anyone brought up the idea of pre war intelligence being manipulated. I think it is best to focus on his like-a-bility rather than his credibility when ingesting his sweet tasting poison. That is why I think Bobo is there.

No, biallys are a lot closer to the bagel school of bread. An onion roll is a bread roll infused and covered with onions bitsies, but rather than being boiled, it is baked.
Real delis in New Mexico? Well, sorta. Refer to Olav Glad and Heartburned. But definitely none in Pincher Creek, Alberta. There, we got very good kung pao shrimp. And BIG beef parts.

If you missed my post earlier, I will be interviewing Rod Dixon, an NZ athlete, on my upcoming NZ video podcast about his experience during the Munich Games.

I hope it's an interesting and insightful conversation about that terrible event.

Mr. Bush was not mentioned in the indictment. But the fact that so many of his aides seem to have been involved in dealing with the issue that eventually led to the leak - how to rebut or discredit Joseph C. Wilson IV, a former diplomat who had challenged the administration's handling of prewar intelligence - leaves open the question of what the president knew.
And when did he know it?

I think I was 20 before I had my first beer.
When I lived in Ohio, they used to have a low beer/high beer distinction, until Reagan blackmailed the states into making 21 the universal drinking age. When I turned 19 (when I would've legally been able to buy "low beer"), my mom bought be a six pack, which I brought next door to my 60yo neighbor, Bill (who used to keep my spare house key when I was a latchkey kid). He thought it was the funniest fucking thing, what with my shiteating grin as I brought him booze. We sat on his front porch drinking Coors, watching the traffic go by. Good times.

Come now. That's not the media's job. The media's job is to report what one side thinks, and what the other side thinks, and then the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Like one side says "slavery is bad" and the other side says "slavery is good." So that means, slavery is okay.
Or "we should nuke the middle east" and "violence is never the answer." So we should nuke some countries, not others.

23 Skidoo to the Scoot Man!
The Boys at the Polk Gulch request your attendence at the Scooter Libby sendoff night on November 17th.
To acclimate the Scoot Man to his new surroundings, the glory holes will be outfitted with the Vice Presidential
Seal for this night only!!
Scoot's got to know how to bend over and take it like the man he is, so the boys at the Gulch will be introducing him to tricks he's got to know in order to survive in the slammer.
And YOU'RE invited!
And, if you think that Scoot's going up the river while Big Dickee and Dubya just watch and grin, I think you've got another think coming. Because that beautiful Kappa Kappa Gamma wife of his (Did you see the front page of the NY Times?) just isn't going to sit there and go to the benefits alone, no sireee. Nope, Scoot's gonna squeal, and perhaps your nemisis may just have to learn how to squat for the soap in the shower as well.
Happy Birthday To You,

GWPDA, don't feel ashamed. It's a known disorder: late-onset autopantsing. It's sometimes referred to as "autodepantsing".
It's a confusing phenomenon.
But it's not uncommon for people to dissociate during initial episodes.
Clinical literature is filled with anecdotal descriptions, e.g. "It was like my pants just walked off me"; "I felt, like, a tingling chill, then a big gust of wind or something blew up and the next thing I knew my pants were draped across that bush"; "I swear it felt like lizards were clawing at my hip pockets-- and the next thing I remember, I was standing in front of my mailbox wondering why my pants were stuffed inside it..."
You get the idea. I cannot stress this enough, dear-- help is available. Don't be too proud; we're all in your corner.

I mean, when the Clinton stuff was coming down in 98, I'm sure most of us were disappointed and annoyed, at the Republicans, at him for giving them any bullshit excuse to work with. But we believed that it happened, that the substance of the charges was true. Stupid and beside the point and not a worthy reason to impeach, but basically true.

NTodd, been there with four of mine. Three I buried under the apple tree in my yard; the fourth died a week after the ice storm that took the tree down. I had her cremated - frozen ground, you know. Each one was wrapped in an old flannel shirt and had a couple of toys and a piece of beef jerky tucked in with them. I showed them to the other cats before taking them out to the yard (down to the vet's office for the one.} You can't explain what has happened to the beasties but they know death when they see it.
Anyway, you've been through this with other pets. I am willing to pay the price in grief for the love I've given and gotten. I'm sure you are too. Cuddle your dear old Saffron from me too.

Heh. She waddled, rather gravid, on stage to get her BA, and had me barely a month after she graduated college. Almost died when I was 3 (which is why I went to live with Euell Gibbons), was told by her doctor back in the 80s that she wouldn't live past 50. And here she is, still granting Dad permission to buy toys and worrying too much about her only child...

Actually they're a different species. The commmon chimp is much more prone to violence than the bonobo, or pygmy chimp. In the latter case, but not the former, sex is used to defuse violence. So, as long as one has in mind the common chimp when referring to chimpy, the usage is apt.

It probably had to do with Elizabeth Lloyd's anti-adaptationist book on female orgasm, which is well worth reading.
Especially for me, since I read a half-baked gloss on that book in some newspaper, attacked Dr. Lloyd viciously on my blog, and was forced to eat copious amounts of shit after she e-mailed me and politely straightened me out.
She's a very, very nice person.
