dencency should be indecency
In keeping with fair and balanced, it was the top of the 8:00 hour but, C'MON! How low will their faces go when they have to read the charges against Saddam to their audience?
I can't take McCain anymore, immediately turning the channel when he appears. Mitchell's trying to get a scoop I guess, ugh. The media has gone completely out of their minds. Did catch Dan Senor, what a great guy. Single too, for all you single gals out there. :-)
French France and the horse they rode in on.
Q: What is the most useful thing in the French Army?
Love the screen name BipolarBob.
The media has gone completely out of their minds.
They really have. We all know people who have to verbalize every single thought they have. I call them "gumdrop machines"---each new thought drops down onto the tongue and...PLOP!...out it comes.
That's what the media is like now. "How do you think the new Iraqi gov't is going to handle security?". "What will the insurgents do now?". It used to be that the "news media" reported the news rather than anticipate it. They drive me nuts.
Here is a photo of Hillary yesterday in Seattle in the same outfit she wore Monday night in San Francisco...black pant suit, pink sweater thrown casually over the shoulder.
I think I am going to be sick...no wonder Chels got a makeover...she is going to hit the campaign trail?
WHAT a difference four years makes. When he was being considered as Al Gore's running mate back in 2000, John Kerry was lauded as "handsome" and "telegenic" by plenty of pundits. But many commentators don't find him so hunky anymore. Kerry has been compared this election season to "The Addams Family" zombie servant Lurch (by both former New York Times executive Howell Raines and by CNBC talk show host Dennis Miller). The Weekly Standard's Matt Labash has likened Kerry's visage to a "long-faced Easter Island mask," while the New Yorker's Philip Gourevitch sees "a long, angular face [that] has something of the abstraction of a tribal mask." Kerry reminds Knight Ridder's Dick Polman of "those long-faced walking trees in 'Lord of the Rings,' " while the Chicago Tribune sees a "droopy, hound-dog look." And the Columbia Journalism Review observes: "Kerry, it seems, was repeatedly whacked by an Ugly Stick sometime between 2000 and 2004."
Good caption....it reminds me of Blue Duck in the movie "Lonesome Dove"...he maintained that he could fly and really thought he could...he broke out of jail and dived from a second story window waving his arms ala Teresa saying, I can fly...'Course he crashed and died.
The feds or their contractors at TSA confiscated my 79-year-old white Christian Anglo-Saxon arthritis-limited, CLL-afflicted mother's nail scissors at the airport, as they perceived her as extremely likely to hijack the plane, apparently (thank goodness no one was racially profiled!!!). I was peeved, but managed to avoid getting arrested (barely). Boy, did I want to give someone an earful.
That poor child, Mattie Stepanek, was brainwashed - and quite possibly used - by some people more interested in an agenda that in his best interests, I'd say. Even my 8-year-old niece knows better than to have a weasel like Jimmy Carter as her hero. Her hero probably is George Washington, unless it's Maria von Trapp (as portrayed by Julie Andrews, whom she hopes to succeed).
I hope you weren't in Rochester to sample their excellent medical facility.
Glad you're back. Sorry about the nail scizzors. Wait 'til they snatch your anti-static cling can.
My mother was visiting the excellent medical facility. I was just along for the ride (and to carry her luggage).
MADONNA , a devout follower of Kabbalah, is donating blocks of the best seats on her current concert tour to her fellow believers. But some of them are scalping the tickets to the highest bidders. And ticket buyers can deduct the cost from their taxes, the sellers promise.
Madonna supposedly donated 50 seats at each show to Kabbalah centers so that her co-religionists can come and see her for free, ensuring the front rows are filled with like-minded fans wearing red string bracelets.
But in Boston, the Kabbalah clique evidently preferred selling the tickets. Avner Madar, head of the Boston Kabbalah Center, put up an ad on craigslist.org, noting: "Madonna VIP Tickets $300-600 — Tax Deductible . . . VIP tickets, best seats in the house. "If you have been wanting to see this show, then this is THE WAY . . . All monies go to a non-profit foundation, and your donation is tax deductible. Enjoy the show with the best seats in the house, and get a tax write-off!" (Page Six)
In case you didn't hear Rush talking about this today:
"Vox" author Nicholson Baker's new book features characters who plot to kill President Bush, using everything from guns to remote-controlled flying saws to mobile boulders made of depleted uranium.
"Checkpoint," which is set to hit bookstores the week before the Republican National Convention, will be published by Alfred A. Knopf - the publishers behind Bill Clinton's "My Life."
In the book, one character rages about Bush, saying: "He is beyond the beyond. What he's done with this war.
"He's one dead armadillo."
It isn't illegal to write about killing heads of state if the purpose isn't to encourage such actions. Besides, the characters never follow through.
A Secret Service spokesman declined comment. A White House rep didn't return a call.

Chris Heinz might be one of People magazine's "50 Hottest Bachelors," but apparently he's not getting any action. Or so the 31-year-old ketchup heir wants the world to believe.
"I think I'm the only person who hasn't hooked up because of the campaign. Because I'm deathly afraid to," Heinz confided to Lowdown at Monday night's posh fund-raiser for stepdad John Kerry at furniture mogul Eric Villency's Tribeca palace.
"Campaigns are very young, but I only meet people for one or two nights at a time, max, unless I'm here in New York or in L.A. That's not a good model for me" - presumably he meant "model for living," not Karolina Kurkova. "I've never been that guy. I wish! Or I used to wish. Anyhow, I don't wish now."
Was that a tone of mild self-pity creeping into the handsome, single millionaire's celibacy claim? Impossible! What about all those promising reports about a relationship with "Troy" actress Diane Kruger?
"That's a rumor," Heinz lamented. "She's a friend of mine. We all run in the same group here. I do know her, but I'm single. I should be so lucky!"
Can somebody, please, get this guy a date? Lloyd Grove, NY Daily News
Men don't want me: Nicole Kidman
Hare Krishna, Hare Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, Hare, Hare ...
Our gumdrop machines are also fond of buts. Every good news story is butted into oblivion. That 'Baby Got Back' song rolls through my head (with a bit of a tweak on the lyrics) with every but bomb....
I like big butts and I cannot (help but) lie......
