thank you
that means a lot
Looks like Monday. 3/6 is the most likely, but it may be this Monday, Tuesday, or next Monday or Tuesday.
I hope it gets settled. It's easier, at least I think so, when you can say "Okay, that's the time. I can do that."
Ol' impeached one clinton was paid over $300,000 plus at a speaking engagement in Dubai -- that was in 2002 - then last year at another engagement spoke and was paid again, but that amount has not been released yet
I agree, that is his business, but, how can missy plantation hillary live with that money and probably use it to campaign with if this is terrorist money!!!!! from a terrorist supporting country!!!!
When is your surgery again??
I wouldn't worry about CBS...like you said, Schieffer will probably "play" off his own article...yuck.
I get the impression that Face the Nation is the least talked about show on Sunday anyway...
However, if something comes in late Saturday...if I were you, I would just add it at the beginning of the Sunday thread, if you have anything (links, articles, opinions, guests, etc)...I am sure that Alas won't mind.
Have you been watching Hannity & Colmes by any chance??
Michael Reagan is about as "confused and yet against the port deal"...as poor Sean was today..
I am listening to a local talk show host (who happens to be a freeper)...and he is asking his audience this question:
If President Bush is somehow "forced" to stop this Dubai ports deal, could we consider it a victory for Al-Queda??
VERY interesting question, don't you think?? After all, this wouldn't even be noticed if not for 9/11....
I'm not listening to H&C. Need a break from politics for a bit. The question is interesting. Hissy, who I listened to with half an ear, framed it as a win for either al Qaeda or the mob. There are very few serious people discussing this, at least at the MSM level :)
We decide tomorrow mid day, with my surgeon. It's cataract surgery, so it's a lot less of an issue (I hope) than the 3 corneal transplants I've already had. It's a complex dance of my surgeons availability and my company's insurance. The most likely date is Monday, 3/6 or Tuesday 3/7, though this Monday or Tuesday is still in the mix.
I want to get the surgery out of the way so that I can go on some (hopefully) fun business trips at the end of April (Austin), May (SF) and June (Boston).
We've already decided that if I'm not allowed to fly by the end of April that we'll rent a car and my son will drive me to Texas. That trip is largely on the dime of a major PC maker located "somewhere in that viciinity" and I'd hate to miss the free meals <g>
As to Face the Nation being late to the party, given my impression of how the MSM is beginning to count on our analysis of the weekend shows, if they get dropped that's their problem!!!!!
Thanks, a break from the "political stuff" sounds like a good idea...
BUT, since I haven't really had a chance to read a lot of the links that posters have provided this week, because for some reason, Chase likes her Nama to pay attention to HER,
I am gonna so "make-up work"...
Enjoy your evening...and hopefully I will see you tomorrow on phsstpok's pre-Sunday Talk show thread...
Be sure and let us know when you do have it scheduled...so we can all pool our prayer energy for you!!
Also, if by any chance you do have to drive to Austin, instead of flying, April is a pretty month in Texas, and it should be a nice drive...so it might not be a bad trade-off.
As I just posted to Bahbah, I am off to do "make-up homework" for your thread tomorrow, and for Sunday..
So...I will be around here if you need me...LOL
No doubt about it. Trying to save the United States of America in whatever way we can :)
I know your surgery is coming up soon, Phsstpok. Please know that you're in our prayers.
I thought I had heard it all, but this leaves no doubt in my mind that there is a sickness that has rotted the minds of the antique media.
BTW Do you ever hear from striper sniper anymore?
Thanks Phsstpok
Good luck on the surgery and I'll keep you in my prayers.
Not too worried about CBS. I'm sure the Bush pile-on will continue.
Special Report on FOX News last evening started putting the political connection together. (Not that anyone here would believe the port deal as being about politics.)
Funny, but for just considering advertising with Rush, why would they already have a Rush referral link on the site. They would be able to tell by web traffic at a certain time the effectiveness of the "plug".
This was all pre planned.
Of course it was. It goes something like this:
Rush: Here is what we'll do to prove the effectiveness of our advertising. I will mention your web site once in the beginning of the program and we will put you on the web site. In return you will give us $10,000 up front. If you don't make $10,000 new profit within a period of time, we will give you your money back. If you do make that amount we will credit that amount to your one year $120,000 advertising for the year. (Of course, these numbers are fictional) It's just good business sense.
I want to make one more point. ABSteaks is the highest end meat/seafood seller. Their prices are 30-50% higher than the current mail order king, Omaha Steaks. I too would be skeptical if Rush could move this high priced nitch product.
I'm glad someone besides me recognized that.

At one time, I don't think it would be problem. Although I don't think the endorsement power is as strong as it once was, it is still quite formidible. So it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't get a lot of hits, I would be very, very surprized. Now if they made their goal of hits depending on how aggressive that goal was, that may be quite another story.
But it cheapens his credibility to make it appear that this was a chance off the cuff mentioning when in fact it appears this was a well planned ad placing. Most people won't recognize what was done. Others will. To those others, some will be put off (such as me) and others will blow it off because it's Rush and since he's kool, it's no big deal. But let it be Al Franken....then it's a big issue of intellectual honesty.
Rush: "Dems and the Culture of Treason"
I love it, Rush is detailing the coordinated effort from some of the buearocrats in the CIA and the left to attack Bush. Burgler, Wilson, Richard Clark and this latest troll are all Clintonistas.
How coordinated is it? Did the DNC have anything to do with coordinating these leaks from the CIA/NSA to NY Slimes and WaPost? How high up does it go? People seem to forget that Sandy Berger advised Kerry and Mary Mapes had Bill Burket contact Joe Lockhart when he was with Kerry/Edwards. Richard Clark/Joe Wilson heralded on 60 minutes.
All these General's attacks, all these CIA leaks are all coridinated to defeat Bush and help the Demcocrats.
