GravatarNORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. -- The Rhode Island National Guard held a surprise training drill to test how it would respond to quick activation by the governor in an emergency.

More than 85 members of the Army and Air National Guard were awakened at about 4 a.m. Saturday and ordered to report to Camp Fogarty in East Greenwich and Quonset Air National Guard Base in North Kingston.

The training exercise, "Operation Quick Resolve," was designed to test the Guard's ability to quickly alert, mobilize and deploy troops. In this case, the scenario was a massive civil disturbance during a pandemic flu scare.

Among the strategies they practiced: using less-than-lethal tactics in crowd control.

GravatarO'REILLY: Now, the letters.

Israel Gopstein, Silver Spring, Maryland: "Mr. O'Reilly, I'm surprised at your lapse of judgment comparing the tactics of the Nazis to The Huffington Post. I lost many members of my family to the Holocaust, and the meaning of their deaths means more than a comparison to a meaningless blog."

Now, first of all, I appreciate your letter very much, sir, and I've thought about it. If you look back at what happened in Germany, you cannot escape the similarities between what Hitler and his cutthroats did back then and the hate-filled blogs, what they're doing now.

From the late 1920s to 1933, when Hitler became chancellor, the Nazis used vile propaganda to demonize Jews and others in the eyes of the German people. They used newspapers, radio, leaflets, and rallies to build up enormous hatred towards your family.

Today, we are seeing the same thing on the Net here in America. There's no difference. When Arianna Huffington allows people to say that Nancy Reagan should suffer terribly and then die, that is completely unacceptable and no different than what Dr. Joseph Goebbels and others were putting out way back then.

Again, I thank you for your thoughtful letter


Gravatarlol, Cynicus, your first spelling is how Little Boots would say it...


GravatarREPOST GOT BACK

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4...h? v=41APzy5kqBU


GravatarGov. George W. Bush of Texas said today that if he was president, he would bring down gasoline prices through sheer force of personality, by creating enough political good will with oil-producing nations that they would increase their supply of crude.

''I would work with our friends in OPEC to convince them to open up the spigot, to increase the supply,'' Mr. Bush, the presumptive Republican candidate for president, told reporters here today. ''Use the capital that my administration will earn, with the Kuwaitis or the Saudis, and convince them to open up the spigot.''

Implicit in his comments was a criticism of the Clinton administration as failing to take advantage of the good will that the United States built with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia during the Persian Gulf war in 1991. Also implicit was that as the son of the president who built the coalition that drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait, Mr. Bush would be able to establish ties on a personal level that would persuade oil-producing nations that they owed the United States something in return.

''Ours is a nation that helped Kuwait and the Saudis, and you'd think we'd have the capital necessary to convince them to increase the crude supplies,'' he said.

Asked why the Clinton administration had not been able to use the power of personal persuasion, Mr. Bush said: ''The fundamental question is, 'Will I be a successful president when it comes to foreign policy?' ''

GravatarWhen Arianna Huffington allows people to say that Nancy Reagan should suffer terribly and then die, that is completely unacceptable and no different than what Dr. Joseph Goebbels and others were putting out way back then.

I certainly don't want to ally myself with Goebbels, so let me wish Bill O'Reilly a pleasant, quick and painless death. The sooner the better, for the benefit of the Republic.


GravatarRE: Governor Bush's lowering the price of oil.

Guess not.

As it turns out...not so much.


GravatarThe only kahn i wouldn't diss is Temujin.

Madeline has a sense of humor. Ghengis didn't.

And, just by the way, some years ago i took a Greek cruise. the cabin attendant left one of those "Hi, my name is" cards in the room.

the name: Ghengis

My wife thought little of my sense of humor in putting on the "Do you have any other requests?" part of the card
"Pillage Samarkand".

Pretty good guy, and did a fine job. i never did get any reports of the condition of Smarkand, tho.......

Reasons to quit the low is always lower than the high
And the reasons for quitin' dont outnumber all the reasons why

So we keep smokin and we keep drinkin
Havin fun and never thinkin'
Laughin' at the price tags the we pay
And we keep roarin down the fast lane
Like two young men feelin no pain
And the reasons for quitin' are gettin bigger each day

Dave Johnson does a good post on the effect of corporations on municipal spending, due to their often blackmailing to get lower tax rates, etc., or they'll move, etc.

As a result, the cities and towns have fewer tax dollars to spend on schools, cultural sites and groups, parks, many things. So, then, maybe, some corporate executive decides to fund something that does have local benefit, but the one guy, unelected with no input from the public, gets to make the decision as to what is funded.

And the public is supposed to be grateful and bow and scrape. Of course, the beneficence if coming out of cuts to the citizens' communities revenue...so they're actually paying for the charity they're supposed to be so happy to receive.

And have no say in how it's spent.

I hadn't thought about this aspect of things. Whaddaya think of them apples?

Ghoulardi spared no unhip targets: the bedroom communities Parma, Ohio, ("Par-ma?!") and Oxnard, California, ("Remember...Oxnard!"), bandleader Lawrence Welk and polka music, Cleveland television personalities Mike Douglas and Dorothy Fuldheim, plus other public figures. In particular, Ghoulardi unmercifully jeered Parma, for its ethnic, working-class, “white socks” sensibility, creating a series of taped skits called Parma Place. He adopted a crow and named him “Oxnard.”

GravatarCleveland native Drew Carey has paid tribute to Ghoulardi in his television sitcom (Carey can often be seen wearing a Ghoulardi T-shirt). In his endorsement of the biography, Ghoulardi: Inside Cleveland TV’s Wildest Ride, cited below, Carey was quoted as saying "Absolutely, big time, Ghoulardi was an influence on me."

The punk-a-billy band The Cramps named their 1990 album Stay Sick! David Thomas, of art rock band Pere Ubu, said that the Cramps were "so thoroughly co-optive of the Ghoulardi persona that when they first appeared [in the 1970s], Clevelanders of the generation were fairly dismissive." Thomas credits Ghoulardi for influencing the "otherness" of the Cleveland/Akron bands of the mid-1970s and early-1980s, including the Electric Eels, and The Mirrors, the Cramps, and Thomas's own groups, Pere Ubu and Rocket From The Tombs, declaring: "We were the Ghoulardi kids." (Akron's Devo aren't included on Thomas' list, but they were formed in the same era as the other groups and shared a similar aesthetic.)

Gravatar"how the people who don't like this war are just asking for America to be taken over by the Muslims. "


They said the same thing about Vietnam, too.

Only it was how the people who didn't like that war were just asking for America to be taken over by the Communists.


GravatarMoon: that's a very good question, and one a lot of us have asked over the past few years.

The Republicans have already rediscovered bipartisanship, though by it they seem to mean rolling over whenever a Republican wants something...

Gravatarwould they suddenly develop a love for liberty and habeus corpus and the magna carter?

They tortured liberty till she died then wrapped the corpus in a magna carpet and dumped it in Guantanamo Bay.

GravatarVietnam

In one perverse sense they were right. Vietnam has become the new place to off-shore manufacturing to.

GravatarI took a nap and missed out on all this tagging buisness, so I will take this opportunity remain confused and go on a beer run.

Gravatar"how the people who don't like this war are just asking for America to be taken over by the Muslims. "

Gravatarwhen you think about it, surely a true conservative would deplore the increase of state power when it came to wiretapping and imprisonment

because they are all about small government correct? and therefore would be hopping mad that the government was invading privacy

GravatarMoon: they aren't true conservatives. They're interested only in aggrandizing power in the executive, and employing that power to their benefit and those of their allies. Simple as that.


GravatarThe Walters assclown is demonstrating to all what a wanker he is over at Nancy Nall's comment section.


Gravatar"how the people who don't like this war are just asking for America to be taken over by the Muslims. "

I had always heard aspirin for cats was a no-no.

GravatarWalking just two blocks from the liquor store was an entirely miserable experience. Ice storm, blowing horizontally, at maybe 70 k, right in my face the entire way.
