NYT Investigation Reveals Sky Is Blue, Overhead
Rudy: Still a douchebag.
"Twice-divorced former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani took Communion at a Mass celebrated by Pope Benedict on Saturday, breaching rules that bar those who remarry outside the Church from doing so. As he left New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral with his third wife, Judith, the failed presidential candidate confirmed to Reuters that he took Communion from a priest.
Asked if he was uncomfortable with having broken the Church ban on the divorced and remarried taking Communion, Giuliani said, "No." The Church does not recognize divorce and teaches that divorced Catholics are still married to their earlier partner unless the Church grants them an annulment, or ruling that the initial marriage was invalid. Giuliani unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for the White House this year. As New York mayor, he rose to prominence after the September 11 attacks, when he was hailed for his leadership during the crisis.
Despite his Catholic faith, Giuliani has espoused socially liberal political positions such as backing a woman's right to choose an abortion and supporting gay rights. Last year Pope Benedict reaffirmed that Catholics who divorce and remarry cannot receive Communion unless they abstain from sexual relations with their new partner. But U.S. clergy tend to leave it up to individual parishioners who are divorced to refrain from taking Communion instead of excluding them from the sacred rite. Catholics believe that during Mass, the Communion host and wine are transformed into the body and blood of Christ. At Saturday's Mass, the pope consecrated bread and wine that was distributed to the congregation by other priests. Giuliani did not take Communion from the pope himself.
During the presidential campaign, Giuliani said he had some "very, very strong views on religion" that come from him having wanted to be a priest when he was younger and studying theology for four years in college."
Seems like this kind of story is always printed on a Saturday.
No, we don't need a blogger ethics panel. We need ethics.
"Pope Benedict reaffirmed that Catholics who divorce and remarry cannot receive Communion unless they abstain from sexual relations with their new partner."

He apparently has a difficult time understanding that nowadays, a veteran fireman or a veteran cop, married to a veteran schoolteacher, will make well over $100,000. In fact, they can make close to $200,000.,/I>
All the firemen I know usually have small second jobs, because they don't combine with the wife's income to get anywhere near 6 digits.
Most of the school teachers I know driving nice cars do so because Hubby is an oil co. executive (well, it's Houston).

Well, to be honest, there are now at least five branches of government:
executive ((Nazi imperialist assholes)
judicial (fucking lying hypocrites)
legislative (pretty moribund xcpt for payoffs and weird sex)
military (boys with toys)
corporate (Ayn Randian economics)
And they are not separate but equal. It's some n-dimensional Venn diagram.
There's also a media industrial complex, and it acts as the propaganda outlet for the corporatist agenda. Many of the boards of directors of the media conglomerates are filled with the same people that own stock in major military contractors.

Obama may just have a bit more support from these folks than many of us have thought. And I also think that "insulted" does not mean what the media thinks it means. People are insulted all right, but not by the Senator from Illinois.

The most frustrating thing about this story is it's NIH aspect. This has been reported, but only by independent media, which apparently is so shrill the editors of the NYT can't hear it.
Now that they learn it themselves, however, the story is clearly audible. Those of us who heard it before, are simply dogs. Or something.
I hated Schwinn and loved Huffy. But it's probably sorta like the PC-Mac thing.

very modern with horizontal overhanging roof lines and native stone at the entrance. Above was a large mural that resembled a Hopi sand painting of Kachinas, and a covered area to the east of the building for car hop service."

We ought to forbid the now nearly universal practice of allowing officers to go into military industrial work on retiring, or at last have more serious barriers against their angling for a nice job while they're not yet finished with their commission. But what we really need is a totally different economy and a break from the perverted socialism of the milinduscom.

DuaneV, I think you're right. It's only anecdotal, of course, but I was sitting next to a table of bikers in the bar last night, overheard their conversation. They were some pretty well-informed people, talking about the economy (which is teh suxxor, esp. here in Michigan), lack of health care, etc. They were discussing the relative benefits of Hillary/Obama. One girl was leaning toward Hillary, the other girl and the two guys seemed more inclined toward Obama. At the end of the conversation, Hillary Girl said, "Well, it doesn't really matter to me as long as we don't get McCain. He sucks ass."

The Wall Street Journal, everyone's favorite bastion of radical leftism, writes: "In all, his tax-cutting proposals could cost about $400 billion a year, according to estimates of the impact of different tax cuts by CBO and the McCain campaign." That would make the cost over ten years $4 trillion.
Moreover, these tax cuts would be even more skewed towards the wealthy than the Bush tax were, which is quite an achievement.

There are legal issues involved, similar to non-compete agreements. Scope of the agreement has to be reasonable in time and geographical area. Which would, off the top of my head, make enforcement of such a requirement near to impossible.
In turn, members of this group have echoed administration talking points, sometimes even when they suspected the information was false or inflated. Some analysts acknowledge they suppressed doubts because they feared jeopardizing their access.
And this is news, why, exactly? Can we say, "Judith Queen of Fucking Iraq Miller," who, if memory serves wrote extensively under the protective banner of the NYT?
If I owe someone a coke, please speak up so that Simels will know to regret the error.
I am mildly surprised (only because nothing can REALLY surprise me anymore) that there has not been more on the "bitter" flap that came out of Marc Cooper's shop at the The Huffington Post.
As Atrios well knows, Marc Cooper is a fraud, a right leaning libertarian blow hard, who has done his best to injure Democrates at any opportunity. Yes, he despises Hillary Clinton, but his Obama fevor is bound to pass as soon as Clinton is knocked off.
Obama supporters have been happy to endorse anything slung at Hillary Clinton from anywhere, helpful as it is in the short run. Shouldn't we let know that with friends like Cooper, they hardly need enimies?
I've made harping on Cooper sort of my personal media project, and I'm always amused/appauled at the pass this idiot continues to get from virtually everyone.
I've been thrown off his blog multiple times for calling him out (he never has a retort, except to tell you your being "mundane"); and just noticed the only other guy who answered him back, the excellent "Bunkbuster" has just been thrown off too.
Cooper is also an ego maniac and a coward; terrified of any real give and take.

This one's on the back of the Hurst's Hambeans 15 bean soup package. I have some veggie recipes, too, though. I'll post them on my blog, if you want.
ruh roh!:
The administration’s communications experts responded swiftly. Early one Friday morning, they put a group of retired military officers on one of the jets normally used by Vice President Dick Cheney and flew them to Cuba for a carefully orchestrated tour of Guantánamo.
To the public, these men are members of a familiar fraternity, presented tens of thousands of times on television and radio as “military analysts” whose long service has equipped them to give authoritative and unfettered judgments about the most pressing issues of the post-Sept. 11 world.
Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance, an examination by The New York Times has found.
We live in a Banana Republic. I'm sure we'll here more of this once BushCo is dismantled.
I hope the new prez prosecutes these war criminals to the fullest extent of the law! - and all their enablers and water carriers too! propagandists!
Really, goddamn these people. If they had read the intelligence coming from the government at the time, none of this would have happened. Well, it might have happened, but they wouldn't have been cheerleaders.
I have some veggie recipes, too, though.
Could spice that bean soup up with a little cougar thigh.

That story in the the times depressed me. Like I was depressed when I read Brock's The Republican Noise machine.
Millions of dollars directed to the "information warfare" and the analysts are shills.
Yes I know this, but how many people don't? This is an old principle in PR get the experts on your side and make them available to the press.
You know we have to battle the media because they aren't doing their job and we have to battle the think tanks and the "experts" It just really gets fraking depressing and overwhelming at times.
And I think about all the money involved. If you want to be and expert for them just hold out your hand and they will send you the money and nobody mention's "this analyst brought to you by Lockheed via the War College "think tank".
They do not regard the Iraq money as wasted. It would not have been spent on the poor and middle class anyway.

I was about to answer you about Mukasey when my sister called.
Mukasey is another corrupt BushCo puppet. He's even worse than Gonzo, because he came with good references and got props from Dianne F and Chuck S. The Rs have done an incredible job of stonewalling investigations and covering up the BushCo crimes.

Maybe it was playing the 3 trillion dollar game (Brave new Films) but I'm feeling very poor at the moment. Of course that didn't stop me from purchasing a diet cola and a piece of coffee cake (it got me free wireless access!)
What makes me crazy about these stories about the experts is that when you push the media they will give all the excuses why they use them, one is that they can't afford their own analysts. Yes so they comprise any kind of journalistic duty to the altar of "no money".
All the concerns about "Maybe some blogger is being paid by a campaign!" is NOTHING compared to this.

Only five years before the Days of Rage white racist terrorists captured and murdered three activists working to promote democracy in Philadelphia, Mississippi, buried their bodies in a dam, and were acquitted by an all-white jury. I remember that too. Goodman, Schwerner, and Cheney came from different places, but they ended up together.
Which gets me thinking -- I wonder if any U.S. presidential candidates or members of the Senate have ever had any acquaintance with, or socialized with, any white racists, former members of the Ku Klux Klan or the White Citizens Council or any of the other groups that supported anti-democratic racist terrorism in the United States when I was a teenager? Why don't the media check that out? Maybe they'll understand why some people were enraged -- and not only Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Maybe Barack Obama was only eight years old in 1969 -- but I was a little older.

All, and I mean all, Pentagon public relations should be stopped by law or constitutional amendment. Period.
Not one penny of public money should be spent propagandizing the public.
A pipe dream I know but an issue that should be addressed in the public sphere by the Dems, but won't be.
We have finally identified the Propaganda Ministry and it is where we expected it to be...inside the military an unaccessible to us and our institutions.
Like it wasn't obvious from the very day (Sept 11) on? I mean, where the hell did all those ready-made experts spring from. All of them trumpeting a threat they had been deriding til that very day.
And the same thing will happen the day a Democrat other than Hillary is elected. The Repubs will declare the War On Iraq won, or as good as, and continueing it one more day is impeachable, and might kill all the ponies so recently dug from the ordure.
This time the Blogger Ethics Panel joke falls flat. they have failed, collectively to do anything whatsoever different from the national political crapola
Self-examination DOES need to happen, if only to show that it can be done. My last vestige of illusion vaporized.
Not "God Bless America", it's "God Damn America". America is run by a select few ultra rich white men, men who collect money and power and will never have enough. They have done this by waging wars and then seduce us into wearing flag pins, flying flags and singing patriotic songs and then convinces us to label anyone who thinks otherwise as a heretic. And, the worst punishments throughout history are given to the heretic. Does Reverand Wright sound so off the mark now? Was he saying anything different than what Ike warned us about 50+ years ago?
