Maybe we would have better coverage of both the war and the election if some of the people who signed this letter occasionally got on tv to provide their views.
There are only 41 of them though. And probably none of them have seen the inside of Jack Welch's summer house. That and a passing grade in the Pentagon's How to Lie a Country into a War seminar seem to be a requirement to speak on tv about current events.

[BASH:] And let's look at some of the charity because it's interesting. McCain gave an additional $17,000 in charity. So, all told, John McCain donated about 26 percent of his income to charity. And Wolf, by comparison, the Clintons gave 15 percent, and the Obamas, they gave 6 percent.
It would be wrong to mention McCain's obscenely wealthy wife, since in true maverick fashion he married her in spite of her wealth.

Earlier in the program, Bash compared the portion of McCain's income that he gave to charity with the portion given by the Clintons and Obamas -- without noting that McCain presumably benefits from his wife's wealth and from her income from her separate property, a figure that she has not released. Bash stated: "So, all told, John McCain donated about 26 percent of his income to charity. And Wolf, by comparison, the Clintons gave 15 percent, and the Obamas, they gave 6 percent."

There could be a bigger story here than the tax issue.
BLITZER: ...He also said -- correct me if I'm wrong -- about a month or two ago that he would release his medical records by April 15th. It's now April 18th. What's the delay?
BASH: That's right. Well, it was about a month ago, maybe more, that John McCain was actually coming from a doctor's appointment, and he said that he would release his medical records right about now. And then immediately, his campaign said, well, you know, it might, you know, be a couple of days later. The McCain campaign told us a couple weeks ago that they're actually not going to release his medical records until next month, sometime in May. The reason they give, Wolf, is because they say they're trying to line up all of his doctors because they insist they want his doctors to be at a press conference available to answer reporters' questions about McCain's health.
Of course, you remember he had skin cancer eight years ago, and obviously, he is -- would be, if elected, the oldest president. So they understand his health is a big issue. But, you know, it's going to be May before we get any kind of -- or any kind of medical records from him.

Gore-Lieberman: A Hypeh Apart? Try Poles Not only have Mr. Gore and Mr. Lieberman staked out diametrically opposite positions on the Iraq war, Mr. Gore went so far as to endorse one of Mr. Lieberman’s presidential rivals in 2004, Howard Dean, largely because of his opposition to the invasion. Mr. Lieberman is campaigning for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Senator John McCain of Arizona.
That graphic is laughably stupid, you can see McCain is the only head in his bar, whereas everyone else includes the spouse. CNN is worthless.

Of course they will ask them. Of course they will ask the obvious question.
It is question 2, 3 and 4 that they mess up and the lack of self reflection to see that they don't treat candidates the same.
If he says, "My cancer is back, but I'm not a quiter! I'm going to keep running until I can't run no more!" instead of a story about selfish he is to not step aside or how he is betraying his wife the chance to spend his last days in private, it will be all about how tough he is.
Now if I was in charge of his campaign I would to figure out who to ask the first question, the guy about the disease or the one about the tough question. (Like in West Wing) He is figuring out how to manage the experts and will talk to all sorts of them so, like lawyers they can't talk to the press because of confidentiality

I'd like to, but (1) I didn't go back to that conference this year, and (2) it moved back to Atlanta.

Time for me to fix myself a light supper and then do some dead-tree reading.
Radical Iraqi Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr has threatened to wage "open war" on the Baghdad government if it does not halt operations against his supporters.
Moqtada Sadr said he was giving the government a "last warning", and urged it to take "the path of peace".
His statement came as Iraqi troops, with US and UK support, clashed with his forces in Baghdad and the south.

I'm not a fan of holding Cindy McCain responsible in any fashion for her husband's behavior. On the other hand, it is worthwhile noting that Hensley & Company was and presumably still is, an adjunct of the Kemper Marley / Gus Greenbaum gang which ran mob politics in Arizona well into the 1980s.
Or is this something that the MSM just would like to disregard - even after the 'valiant' investigation of the murder of Don Bolles in the parking lot of the Clarendon Hotel?
The MEDIA still have tremendous power.
They got us McCain after all.
They didn't want Huckabee. Too bad Rudy was too nasty even for them I think the was their first choice would make them feel tough every day!

the surge only has to fail for another 9 months or so to be a political success--handing off power to a democrat while we still have major troops in iraq. this will set the repubs up to blame the "loss" of iraq on democrats. believably? not to rational people.

and still got along fine without nukes; our supposed enemy was thousands of miles away, neutralized our nukes with their own, with comparable conventional capacity and with the knowledge that we wouldn't be stupid enough to use the Useless Weapon, and turned out to be far weaker than we ever thought.

That rawstory link had some good info..Plus, the Jed report had a link to the Pew Research Center;
"New data from the Pew Research Center illustrates my point: although Hillary Clinton leads McCain among white women by three points, she trails among white men by twenty-three points. Meanwhile, Obama trails among white women by just one point, and trails among white men by fifteen. Obama's net margin relative to Clinton drops by four points among white women, but increases by eight points among white men."
I was trying to use this information to support my contention that Obama's gaining support among the white working class voters.

technical question (and believe me I do not like the catholic church one bit- not one bit):
could a member of 'Hitler Youth' be fulfilling a legal requirement and NOT be a Nazi?

That is the thing, right there.
Just how enthusastic a Hitlerjugend was Ratzi? He says not very. That he was basically coerced into it when he'd rather be going to vespers or something.
However, I see no evidence that he wasn't into authoritarianism then, or now, come to think of it, being the Supreme Pontiff and all.
So fuck him.

Sure. But would a good Catholic who did that really be a good candidate for Pope? I think a good Catholic would be the martyr who would be a better candidate for Saint. Ask Sir Thomas More.

The Hitler Youth were an organization of the Nazi Party. Membership was required when Ratzi joined, but he did join.

It was Pope Benedict XVI, formerly known as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who inserted the Catholic church into the 2004 election by ordering bishops to deny communion to abortion rights supporters, including candidate John Kerry.

We have no way of knowing Pope Ratzo's true feelings ever. However, the fear implied by his past as a white striper is simply that he is some kind of crypto-fascist secretly shoving institutions to the far right. Anyone familiar with his career in the church, where he killed Liberation Theology, might've helped kill a pope and installed a "staunch anti-Communist" to replace him, will not need convincing through trust begging stories.

Kerry: Bush's Vatican appeal 'inappropriate' http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLIT...ican/

HEBRON, Kentucky (CNN) -- President Bush was out of line to ask the Vatican to get U.S. bishops more involved in promoting his conservative social agenda, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said Tuesday.

Although many individual Catholics objected to Nazism, there was no systemic Catholic opposition to the government as such, nothing like the action of the Dutch Catholic bishops who, in May 1943, forbade Catholic policemen from co-operating in hunting down Jews, even if it cost them their jobs.
In Germany, the Catholic Church offered no ideological reason to oppose Hitler. It drew the line at the preservation of its own institutions and doctrines but did not challenge the consensus that Hitler was doing a good job for the country, his views on Jews, gypsies, Communists and political opponents notwithstanding.
In fact, there were key points at which Nazi and Catholic attitudes intersected and created a basis for mutual support. Both groups hated the Weimar Republic - the Nazis because it was allegedly too Jewish and was led by the "November Criminals who sold out the country in the First World War; Catholics because it smacked of liberalism, sexual degeneracy, and an irreligious spirit.
Just like Pastor Niemöller, who was set up as some kind of hero after the war for "first they came..." it is not as simple as that. No German churches really opposed the Nazis on every point.
After his release in 1945, Niemöller was president of the Protestant Church in Hesse and Nassau from 1947 to 1961. He was one of the initiators of the Stuttgart Declaration of Guilt, signed by leading figures in the German church. The document acknowledged that the church had not done enough to resist the Nazis.
I knew it. We didn't close the borders. We fumbled Real ID. We even let Canucks rule supreme here with their high fa louting (How the hell do you spell that) ways!!!!
And this is what we get. A Blitz by Canadian Mechanized Infantry.
Ratzo's intervention against Kerry came after Chimpy visited the Vatican.
No wonder they have a special bond as reported earlier in the week. Makes me believe Ratzo stole the papacy just like Bush stole the presidency.

I compare apples to grapefruits
olexicon
Hey, I can do that too! I have an apple tree in the front yard. It is...probably five years old, maybe six, and while it leafs every year it does not blossom and has never produced anything resembling an apple.
On the other hand I took some seeds out of a grapefruit last summer and put them in a pot and they sprouted. I now have six itty bitty (8-10 in. tall) grapefruit trees and one of them has a blossom on it!. Or possibly an embryonic grapefruit, damn if I know how these fruit tree things work.
Now i'm afraid to put it/them out in the yard. Evil things live out there, although in west Tennessee it seems unlikely that anything has evolved to prey upon grapefruits.

On the eve of 9/11, most of the emergency preparedness bureaucrats were confabing in the fashion of the high life at Big Sky Ski Area to the east of us. I recall that evening their was a whole lot of charter jets swooshing out of Gallatin Field that night - with fighter escorts. What a great idea - get all those guys in one place ...

Is angel cake the same thing as angel food cake--made with egg whites? Like a sponge cake?
My mother made that for our birthdays with cream frosting. And those little candies that you stick the candles in. Then, a couple of days later she would make a yellow angel food cake with the yolks.
