I'll admit it, post-stroke I'll read nearly anything, for the mental exercise. Usually, James Patterson's ultra-stacatto chapters are fun, but he's taken on so many co-authors lately to keep cranking books out; the quality is beginning to suffer, if beach-book quality can suffer.

plantsman,
Short story collections are your friend.
Imagine what the media would do if all of the oil producing countries were to follow Hugo Chavez example and nationalize their oil and kick the western oil companies to the curb.
Prices would fall, the profits would be huge for these countries and help build their infrastructure, and the American people would have their eyes opened as to how they have been cheated along with the oil producing countries. We have all been the victims of the oil companies.
Of course the media would report that all of these countries were suddenly terrorist nations and all would need regime changes so the oil companies could once again steal their oil and cheat the American people.

Naw, they are clean enough, the Hutterites do things in a somewhat similar way to the Amish. Just backwards I guess, but their food is good!
Do they run puppy mills, as well?
As an individual who grew up in another era, I am appalled by the lack of civility that exists within this country. No one has respect for anything or anyone anymore.

my mother tried growing catnip but the neighbor cats destroyed it.
she then also took cuttings before it was rubbed into oblivion.

attaturk, just watched that Moyers' video.
I listened to the pessimism and a sense of despair in Johnson's voice as he questioned the wisdom of being in Vietnam.
Yet he escalated the conflict anyway.
264 dead Americans became 58,209 over 11 years, to say nothing of the Vietnamese and others who were killed.
The fucking warmongers want to blame the left for the defeat. It's pathetic. There was no winning there, just as there isn't in Iraq.
(From the Media Matters link, which could conceivably be considered the topic
The media would have an absolute field day, yammering endlessly about how the candidate is too "soft" and is an elitist, an arrogant know-it-all with a misguided sense of entitlement who is hopelessly out of touch with the rugged regular-folk who live in Michigan and enjoy NASCAR and country music and drive pickups. There would be a real danger of Chris Matthews literally exploding on live television,
I'd pay big bucks for a ticket to that.
The Washington Post assured readers that "[t]he signature red pickup truck from Thompson's Senate campaigns will be dusted off.")

I liked the way LBJ said Vietnam was gonna be like Korea. And that was not said as a good thing.
I don't think Moyers had overlooked that. But he wisely let it slip in, under the radar, so to speak.
We didn't win in Korea, either, IIRC. Which is why we are still there, 50 years later. Funny Bush doesn't mention that.

The Home Office has reversed its decision to deny a visa to a former Gurkha decorated with the Victoria Cross, it was announced tonight.
Immigration minister Liam Byrne said Tul Bahadur Pun - who single-handedly stormed Japanese machine-gun positions during the Second World War - deserved to be honoured for his services to Britain.
"The circumstances surrounding Tul Bahadur Pun's case are clearly exceptional and in light of this Home Secretary John Reid and I have reviewed the case and made the decision to grant Mr Pun a settlement visa immediately," he said.

This Gurkha was denied a visa to the UK because they said he 'he didn't give good enough reasons for strong ties to the UK'

The battle for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party has not so far been notable for moments of high excitement. But that all changed yesterday as a classic political spat unfolded which was instantaneously dubbed "handbags at dawn".
It began with a complaint by Harriet Harman, the minister for Justice, that Britain was in danger of becoming a divided society in which many people struggle to make ends meet, while others "spend £10,000 on a handbag".
Hazel Blears, the diminutive but combative Labour Party chairman, who was brought up in working-class Salford, disagreed. "I don't think it is the job of politicians to tell people what they should spend their money on," she said. "Labour represents the poor and less well-off but it cannot only be a party for them."

JR, an autopsy would be a great indicator.
It feels like we reach these "milestone" numbers (e.g., 2000, 2500, 3000...) faster and faster. Tony Snow is going to have to reprise his "It's a number" routine shortly.
The notion that the Cheney, Bush and other contingents are not all in bed together is a bit difficult to imagine given history and the respective associations and actions of this collective coup d'etat. Much noise was made and many heads bobbled in self-righteous unison along with the stuningly well-fed and well renumerated purveyors of conventional wisdom as they spouted their indignant consternation over Clinton's ability to "compartmentalize" and thus inwardly seperate the moral ramifications of his extramarital affair from his moral obligations as our duly and legally elected President. Just because ubiquitious compartmentalization and "plausible deniability", along with myriad other techniques have and are consistently used individually and in numerous, virtually limitless combinations to mask the interconnected self-serving mechanisms which the present cabal, themselves merely puppets of larger interests who direct these crimes, operating with virtually unlimited resources, yet always at a distance in the most cowardly and despicable of ways, in an agenda which preys upon the values, resources and interests of those who do not wish to live dishonestly, does not indicate but rather recommends that we should or rather must far more closely examine these connections rather than continue to ignore them, since that ostrich-like activity obviously has been quite successfully relied upon, along with myriad other techniques, to even more insidiously perpetrate these constant predations upon us. Simply because they attempt to represent that there really is no collusion and that anyone suggesting so is unstable at best is no reason to take that at face value, but really it must be admitted quite the contrary, particularly when nothing else they say has ever turned out to be either accurate or even in the slightest way helpful in any regard. While it's now true that we all to some degree do become complicit in these fundamentally anti-human schemes merely by flipping on the light switch or filling up the tank, that does not justify the perpetuation of this monsterously large machine which has historically operated without any regard for anything other than its own rapacious and illegal intent to devour everything of value in order to extract every last iota of that for the operators of the machine itself, and leaving nothing but destruction in its wake, particularly as in service to this entirely dehumanizing agenda it also consistently ignores and supresses hundreds if not thousands or millions of different options which have and do exist, which are repeatedly proposed and initiated, but which are invariably again cast aside without so much as acknowledgement, or deliberately attacked in a reflexively automatic disregard for all human moral and ethical standards, individual rights, and basic sanity.

Defense Officials Tried to Reverse China Policy, Says Powell Aide
By Jeff Stein, CQ National Security Editor
The same top Bush administration neoconservatives who leap-frogged Washington’s foreign policy establishment to topple Saddam Hussein nearly pulled off a similar coup in U.S.-China relations—creating the potential of a nuclear war over Taiwan, a top aide to former Secretary of State Colin Powell says.
Lawrence B. Wilkerson, the U.S. Army colonel who was Powell’s chief of staff through two administrations, said in little-noted remarks early last month that “neocons” in the top rungs of the administration quietly encouraged Taiwanese politicians to move toward a declaration of independence from mainland China — an act that the communist regime has repeatedly warned would provoke a military strike.
The top U.S. diplomat in Taiwan at the time, Douglas Paal, backs up Wilkerson’s account, which is being hotly disputed by key former defense officials.

Ho, hum, NYT:
WASHINGTON, June 1 — American commanders are expressing frustration at the increasing death toll in Iraq caused by makeshift explosives, which have killed 80 percent of the Americans who died in combat over the last three months, despite the billions of dollars being spent to fight the threat.
The proportion of American deaths caused by explosives has sharply increased, even as the Pentagon has made a major effort to defend the troops with armored vehicles, to detect or disarm the weapons, and to attack the bomb-making cells and those who finance them.

FUCK
the breadth of Bushco neocon "intervention" suggests that their main strategy is to twist the world into a massive knotting of antagonistic black vs white,
Why?
So they can steal us blind while everyone is to busy watching each other, I'd guess.

Black is a terrible color for a vehicle you drive in a hot climate. This is proof they are stupid!
An outstanding article. Way too accurate for any big-wigs to pick up on. Besides, it's so much easier to do their jobs the way they do now, which leaves them so much free time after their stenography is done.
A brilliant article. Stupid comments. I hear no one saying how we should take on the media. I see no one doing anything much more than crying.
Bill Clinton effectively handled the FOX attack on him. He created media buzz and (despite what FOX and conservative media tried to portray) made effective points against the opposition. The counter attack raised morale and energized the entire democratic party.
I see the attacks on Hillary. Where is the response: "Yeah, Hillary made her marriage work. You attack her for that. I guess Mr Mayor and the other leading Republican candidates get to screw around on their wives and get a free pass on their infidelity by finding God before running. I Gulliani provides a great exaemple. We elect Fred Thompson who divorced his wife, whored around and then married a girl two years younger than his daughter. Do we hear worries about the moral compass of these (and I use the word in humor -upstanding family men.
If you link to Media Matters anymore, you can be sure it's about defending Hillary Clinton, as that website has largely become a Hillary for President website at this point. They even try to say that she didn't vote for the war. They are spinnning Hillary more than Bill O'Reilly spins for the Right.
Almost everyone who has ever tried to overtly exercise any control over my thoughts after I turned 18 has lied to me consistently. I have grown to believe that this is universal and have molded my actions to deal with it accordingly.
The most surprising thing to me continues to be that more people don't have the same realization...
