SAVE THE DATE
Michael Reagan
will co-host FOXNews Channel's Hannity & Colmes live from the Reagan Ranch on August 13. The show airs at 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. PST/9:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. EST.

Mike will also broadcast "The Michael Reagan Show" from the Reagan Ranch earlier in the day. Save this link and bookmark to listen to Radio America's live audio feed of "The Michael Reagan Show."

WHILE THERE was a Reagan at the Demo convention -- Ron Reagan in a pitch for stem-cell research legislation -- there will be another Reagan at the GOP Convention. He is Michael R., the 59-year-old son of Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman. He tells me he will do an introduction to the tribute film on his father, Aug. 30. "I will not be there to politicize my father but to honor him," he said. Michael, a successful commentator on 200-plus radio stations, is also a "contributor" to the Fox News network. He will be broadcasting from the GOP convention. I asked if he'd watched Ron on the Demo show? "I don't think he was honoring my father at all," said Michael. "If he wanted to give a speech about Alzheimer's, he should get involved and raise money" for research. (Michael is on the board of the John Taylor French Alzheimer Assn. chaired by Art Linkletter.) Michael is also angered by the fact Ron did not join his mother Nancy (and him) at the arrival festivities of the aircraft carrier, U.S.S. Ronald Reagan in its home port of San Diego. "He thinks it (the ship) is a messenger of mass destruction." More from Michael Oct. 1 with publication of his book, "Twice Adopted" -- once by Ronnie and Jane Wyman, the second --by God. ... Michael is scheduled to appear Aug. 13 on the Hannity and Colmes show on Fox News from the Reagan Rancho del Cielo, on the 23rd anni of R.R.'s signing of the tax bill -- at that site.

Rolling Stones' "BEAST OF BURDEN"

I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see

I'll never be your beast of burden
So let's go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio
Come on baby make sweet love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see

Oh little sister
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, girl
You're a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Pretty, pretty
Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Come on baby please, please, please

I'll tell ya
You can put me out
On the street
Put me out
With no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery

Yeah, all your sickness
I can suck it up
Throw it all at me
I can shrug it off
There's one thing baby
That I don't understand
You keep on telling me
I ain't your kind of man

Ain't I rough enough, ooh baby
Ain't I tough enough
Ain't I rich enough, in love enough
Ooh! Ooh! Please

I'll never be your beast of burden
I'll never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

I don't need no beast of burden
I need no fussing
I need no nursing
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

Pre...MUD

That is my favorite REM song. Never bought any of their stuff butI bootlegged some. I'll post my Rider's on the Storm Parody here.

”Lying is Their Norm”

Riders on the Storm



Lying is their norm.
Lying is their norm.
They’ve got two ears of corn..



They believe in porn.
Like two pigs upon a throne,
Their brains are made of bone.
Lying is their norm.




They’ve got buses on the road,
John Kerry’s just a slimy toad..
John Edward’s not okay,



They’re both acting gay.
If you give these men a ride,
We’ll all die inside.
Lying is their norm. Yeah!



Lying is their norm.
Lying is their norm.
They’ve got two ears of corn..



They believe in porn.
Like two pigs upon a throne,
Their brains are made of bone.
Lying is their norm.



Lying is their norm.
Lying is their norm.
Lying is their norm.

Another song?



Lie Kerry Lie
"Lay Lady Lay"

Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.
Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.

Whatever big lies you have in your mind.
You'll tell them to us, do you think we're blind?

Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.
Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.

You burned a village, killed some civilians,
Committed war crimes, you said it was true.
Now you say you’re a hero that we all should love,
Well I tell you, we despise you.

Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.
Lie Kerrie lie,
Can’t believe a word you said.

Your lies are dirty,
And your, hands aren’t clean.
The biggest liar,
That we’ve, ever seen.

Lie Kerry lie,
Lie out of your big long head.
Lie Kerry lie,
Can’t believe a word you said.

"Dubyuh's Comments at NOVA Community College on 8/9/04!!"

"Today, we're going to talk about how to encourage an ownership society in America. Listen, these are changing times. If you really think about it, they are much different from the times when we came up. Most of our dads -- at least guys my age dads -- worked for one company. Mine did move around a little bit, but -- (laughter.) George's generally worked for one company. (Laughter and applause.) At any rate, when we think about it, it was a different society back a couple of decades ago because a person stayed with the same company, had the health plan from the company, retirement plan from the company. Now people are moving around. It's a different world. And there is some uncertainty in that kind of world. Moms and dads are both working, sometimes out of the house. And the economy is changing. And, therefore, government policy ought to change with the times. And one way to bring stability and security into a person's life is to encourage ownership. See, if you own and control your own health care plan, you can move from job to job without worrying as to whether or not you're going to get health coverage for your family. If you own your own home, and building equity in your own home, and you're changing from job to job, it provides great security and relief.

And so we're going to talk about different forms of ownership here. But the point here, is I want you to understand that over the next four years we'll be working to build a culture of ownership in America. We want more people owning things in this country. (Applause.) Let me put it to you bluntly: In a changing world, we want more people to have control over your own life. And that's a difference -- there's a difference in philosophy, when you think about it. A lot of the government policies are, you know, as I like to put it: we'll give you the orders and you pay the bills. (Laughter.) If you really think about it, there's a philosophical divide here in this campaign. My judgment is, government ought to be empowering people by giving them more control over their lives."

Yer gittin' warmer, Mr. President...MUD

BTW...Devolve Power from the Federal Leviathan and back to the States, Localities, Neighborhoods, Families, and Individuals!! Git the Federal Guv'ment OUT OF OUR LIVES, wherever feasible!!

Ganged Up
Conspiracy at 18th and Swann, NW

By Mark Halperin, Lisa Todorovich, Marc Ambinder, David Chalian, Brooke Brower, Mary Hood, Karen Travers, Annie Chiappetta, Jan Simmonds, and Alexandra Avnet with Faryl Ury and Jonathan Greenberger

W A S H I N G T O N, Aug. 9, 2004—

Ken Mehlman was not invited to Sunday's meeting of the Journalists Division of the Gang of 500.

Had the President's campaign manager been in attendance, however, he would not have been surprised at what was discussed.

The meeting — held, per usual, on the top floor of Lauriol Plaza — did have a speaker phone set up, so those in Martha's Vineyard, the Hamptons, Jackson Hole, Nantucket, Kennebunkport, and aboard the Kerry train could participate.

In fact, somehow Mary Beth Cahill got the dial-in number, and she was able to listen in (while she leafed through the clips and some expense reports … ).

Cahill, too, wasn't the least bit surprised about what went on.

First, the group concluded that Friday's job numbers pretty much give them license through election day to frame all stories about the economy to convey a 43-reliving-41 job creation failure.

Along with the deficit, the rising numbers of the uninsured, and the "lack of courage" to raise taxes on the wealthy, the Journalist Division settled upon the storyline — voters have judged the president a bungler at guiding the economy.

Second, with the chaos in Iraq back on the front pages and on TV, the Division decided to remember that much of the president's weak job approval number and "wrong track" persistence, is based on the mess in Iraq. Everyone agreed to return that point to center stage leading up to the end of August as a good way to frame the Republican convention narrative.

Third, with only three dissenting votes, the Division agreed that until weapons of mass destruction are found in Iraq (thus restoring Mr. Bush's credibility) John Kerry's best attempts to come off as a Gore-like grasping, exaggerating, pandering, slashing equivocator would not be Noticed — or at least, not be allowed to define coverage of the Democratic nominee.

So Kerry's inexplicable attack on the President for staying in the classroom on 9/11? Ignore it. (Ignore what Mrs. Heinz Kerry said earlier in defending the president's actions.)

And Kerry's equally inexplicable blurting out to NPR that he would significantly reduce the number of troops in Iraq in his first year in office? Ignore that too.

Even ignore the wacky explanation given by one of his aides to the Washington Post, courageously on background: Kerry's "pledge to reduce troops came in response to a question and did not mark a new policy, rather a hope for improved conditions in Iraq."

On this point, the Division did raise an orange juice toast of agreement with the absent Mr. Mehlman, endorsing his view that, until and unless the press starts holding the non-incumbent accountable for such statements, the president probably can't win.

Ah, but what the Division members — mostly not regular churchgoers, mostly not gun owners, and mostly unaware of what it is like to get dirty while they work (literally, if not figuratively) — did not focus on was the micro, targeted way that Mehlman and Karl Rove plan to win the election anyway.

Thus, four must-reads in the papers today that explain how re-election can be eked out:

1. people of faith: the New York Times ' David Kirkpatrick front pages a fantastic look at how church leaders are team leaders for BC04. LINK and more on this story below. See also: LINK

2. gun owners: Jeff Birnbaum of the Washington Post examines the electoral muscle of the NRA. LINKand more on this story below

3. the coal community: the New York Times Christopher Drew and Rich Oppel explore the ways in which the Bush Administration and Bush campaign continue to appeal to those who make their living off of King Coal in those battleground states. LINK, and more on this story below.

4. military voters in North Florida: LINK and Arkansas and (even Oregon!!) and elsewhere.

Still undecided by the Division is how much attention to give to the specific "charges" in "Unfit For Command"; whether same-sex marriage will really cut for Bush in the end (the Division believes not but isn't entirely sure); who the "It" demographic will be in late October; where Kerry's debate expectations stand; whether John Edwards' stump prowess has been overrated; and several other matters to be detailed in the days ahead.


WOW...MUD
