bush done with his brain scan, yet?
Maybe I'll haul the bicycle down the stairs, and ride to McD's...

Edwards needs to start whipping some pundit/reporter ass.
Personally, I take the fact that those people hate and denigrate me as a compliment.
AT least Dickus hasn't nuked anyone yet.

Jeez. I've been up for only 1/2 hour and already I'm pissed off.
Jake Tapper described reporters "hissing" -- actually hissing -- Gore.
Only snakes hiss, you fucking snakes. You should get down on your knees and apologize to the American people for allowing the Chimp to steal the election.

...what's the old axiom? "Sometimes you gotta kick ass... and sometimes you gotta get yer ass kicked."
Obama tells NH crowd he'd get troops home
When President Bush says, 'I just want to give the commanders what they want, listen to the generals,' he doesn't understand how we work here in America. Civilians control the military, and we are supposed to set the mission for the generals, and then the generals should carry out the mission," Obama said. "The military has done all we asked. We just asked the wrong things of them. That's not their fault. That's the President's fault."
He urged the crowd, which cheered his calls for ending the war, to contact their two U.S. senators to support the effort to cut off funding for the war in order to bring home the troops.
Obama said Americans need to make their voices heard to change the direction of the administration.
"Change never starts from the top down. It starts from the bottom up," he told the crowd. "The country is ready for change. It's hungry for change."
the link didn't work last time. I'm trying it again.
The primary difference is definitional: The centerpiece of Edwards's campaign is his anti-poverty efforts
So, this means that Mitt Romney is pro-poverty. That is good to know when I go to the polls in January.
how the fuck could cheney take over the role of the prez if he isn't a part of the fucking executive branch, anyway???
I woke up @ 6:15, colder than crap, 61 degrees in July!!

Yep. I see no evidence that there are any reporters that can kick ass, tho.

Good morning.
In honor of Dubya's anal probe, here's an old George Carlin bit from the days of yore:
"Don't you think it's just a little bit strange that Ronald Reagan had an operation on his asshole and George Bush had an operation on his middle finger. Huh? Huh? What are these two men trying to tell us?"
If reporters don't like a candidate and decide to "bury" him, they're going to do so. If they can't do it by pointing to his "ostentatious" displays of wealth, they'll do it by claiming he is hiding his wealth. It isn't hard to imagine the media reaction if John Edwards, like Fred Thompson, rented a red pickup truck to campaign for office: he's a phony, they'd say; a rich man pretending to be otherwise. Or they'd find out he gets the Biggie Fries during his anniversary dinners at Wendy's. The key details here are that reporters don't like him, and they're willing to be unfair in order to bury him.
John Edwards could not have avoided making a "mistake" that the media would trash him for, because they were willing to trash him for any dumb thing they could think of. And if they couldn't have found something dumb-but-real, they'd have used something dumb-but-made-up, like they did in falsely claiming Al Gore had taken credit for discovering Love Canal. If it is impossible for a candidate to avoid unfair, absurd coverage like this, then it is unfair to hold that candidate responsible for a meaningless "mistake" that is only a "mistake" in that it plays into that coverage.
Noice.
Every Democratic candidate should post this on his or her shaving and/or makeup mirror to look at it every morning.
They're not your friends and they will not be won over, although they'll be happy to pretend to let you try.
Shark bites Lawyer! So ends that fucking joke.
Regarding that skank in the upper right corner of the main page:
Mr. Atrios, tear down that ad!
"I woke up @ 6:15, colder than crap, 61 degrees in July!!"
i'm loving this!!!!!
Snow - Romney is definitely "pro poverty". Check out Bain Capital, the company he founded.
These criminals bought companies, stripped out money, enriched themselves and theirs East Coast friends, and walked away. Often leaving the company bankrupt. That's what they did to mine.
Sound familiar?
Yep. I see no evidence that there are any reporters that can kick ass, tho.

Kurtz may be the nation's highest-profile media critic. Yet a Nexis search shows that Kurtz hasn't written a word about media coverage of Edwards' haircut for the print edition of the Post. And it has come up only in passing on his television show. (In a "Media Backtalk" online discussion with Washington Post readers, Kurtz acknowledged that "[t]he haircut thing has been overdone." Then -- in the next sentence -- he defended Post reporter John Solomon's much-maligned effort to count Edwards' haircuts.)

I've always thought, however, that waterboarding is the ideal interrogation method for terrorists. It is extraordinarily effective, and reportedly was the source of information obtained from Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and other key members of al Qaeda. Waterboarding is completely harmless, but is sufficiently frightening that it almost always works in a matter of minutes. It works by inducing terror, an appropriate means for obtaining information from a terrorist. If we are unwilling to use this humane but effective method of interrogation, even when lives may be at stake, we are not sufficiently serious about the threat we face from Islamic extremists.
The best option is to always vote for the Democratic candidate, no matter what he or she is accused of doing. Chances are it's a lie, or that the Republic candidate has done something far worse -- like fucking in diapers or molesting five-year-olds.
Uhhh ... Edwards did defend the haircut. Something about public visits by very famous politicians to an establishment like a hair salon cause significant lost business profits. He said something about paying the equivalent lost profit and trying not to disrupt the business with the media circus.
A chum with research skills should be able to find the interview.
Has chimpy awakened from having his poop chute vacuumed out yet?
So like I mentioned, I saw "Hairspray" yesterday and liked it a lot, to my surprise.
The only thing they really changed from the original is that they eliminated the Sonny Bono character.
I took that as a tacit admission by the creative team that there's no one alive that can fill Sonny's shoes.
Uhhh ... Edwards did defend the haircut

- tax cuts that are bankrupting the country

There's a great article by Tony Karon of TIME.com, over at TomDispatch.
Yes, Bush Is Naked, What of It?
On the Middle East Catwalk with the Bush Administration
I wake up feeling sorry for Brooksie (I know a woman who claims his friendship. She's a nice person, and I'm sure Brooksie is a personable guy. "Brooksie" is apparently a nickname among his circle of friends.). He's confused by the world which refuses to conform to his incredibly parochial, narrow, and ignorant view of it.
Unlike Bush, who is only confused by the fact that no one worships him as the next Harry Potter. Which is a damned good book, by the way; stayed up until I'd read the first 100 pages last night, and only then went to sleep because I had things to do today.
Like wake up feeling sorry for Brooksie. I guess. Gonna go read Harry's story until I have to go out for the day.
Poor Brooksie. Reality is just too bewildering....
The media is picking your president for you, deriding candidates on meaningless matters - serious journalism is truly dead.
And we have Mitch McConnell saying, "It would take an extraordinarily good day to get back up to 50," Gee, you think so Senator Stupid, but with the GOP acting like Bush is their only *ucking constituency - with a paper ballot the GOP congress may be in for a rude awaking. God, I certainly hope so.
Edwards is on the cover of both Men's Vogue and Esquire this month.
