[Alas Babylon!]

Notice Jamie Gorelick, 9/11, and Able Danger is not being discussed. However, George Stepponallofus has Lance Armstrong!

[Pusterfuss]

OK, everyone start bashing Lance Armstrong. You know the talking points: drugs, left his wife, he only rides a bike, etc., etc.

[SueRae]

I would only hope that each one of thes interviewees will be asked what their thoughts are on the Able Danger revelation and the 911 commission report. I won't hold my breath, except for FoxNews.

[The Drowning Witch]

Morning AB. Thanks for the schedule...

[snugs]

My goodness, McCain, Biden, Dean and Lugar I see normal servie is resumed this Sunday

[johnny7]

Biden & McCain... 'Groundhog Day'

[Alas Babylon!]

Oh, I admire Armstrong. He's a great athlete and a credit to his country, representing us very well in France!

I do wonder about the MSM ignoring the Able Danger story. It's more important than Lance, or McCain and Biden's contiuous, never-ending, and mistaken opinions about things.

[mware]

This is stunning.

Not one mention of Able Danger. I have checked several of the major newspapers and they are not covering it either.

[Pusterfuss]

Oh, I admire Armstrong. He's a great athlete and a credit to his country, representing us very well in France!

So do I. What I can't understand is the multitudes of FReepers who do want to bash him. Most of them don't have any time for France, and Lance really stuck his thumb in their collective eye.

[Bahbah]

Good morning, Alas. I want to watch Biden to see if he can follow his new order and not run off at the mouth. I am hoping that he will fail in his self-control :)

[Just mythoughts]

Congress is on vacation and look who stayed in town to run things, the speech god himself, McCain.

Wonder when his vacation with Hillry to Alaska is to begin, right after the show???

[snugs]

I think it is case of morals plus there dislike of his girlfriend.

IMHO one can admire a sportsman and be proud of their achievements even if one does not agree with their lifestyle.

[Bahbah]

Wonder when his vacation with Hillry to Alaska is to begin

They're going to go watch the icebergs melt. LOL.

[snugs]

Thanks a lot for your hard work again

[G.Mason]

Good morning Alas.

McCain, Biden, Dean, Lugar, Nelson, Cohen, Kissinger?

We are surely blessed! ;)

[Alas Babylon!]

What's the cliche?

The usual suspects.

[Just mythoughts]

LOL. McCain sure knows who and where the action is. He'll probably come back convinced the draft need be reinstated.

[Carolinamom]

My thoughts on reading the line up exactly!

The BIGGEST news of the day, I see, is nowhere on the shows' radar.
