Maybe not...except the part about how the US is making the area unstable by our nasty little war in Iraq. (my translation...lol)
We will see.
Dennis Miller said that cartoonists can take a break because they can use her real picture.
It makes me think of something Erma Bombeck wrote years ago. Give a woman an inch and the next thing you know, the whole family is on a diet.
LOL
I'm interested in knowing of those civilian deaths, how many are combatants--meaning insurgents, militia, Al Qaeda, foreign terrorists from other Islamic countries, etc? Nowhere are these deaths tracked. Of course, our military is trying to avoid the body count statistic from the Vietnam war, but I'd wager that a big percentage of the civilian deaths are bad guys.
Kind of like the gun control groups counting gang murders as "gun death of children".
Watching this special about Sandy Berger again, it reminds me of the fact that Lee Hamilton was on the 9/11 Commission and ALSO part of the Iraq Study Group...
Plus, he was signed up to Berger's company, wasn't he??
It makes me sicker and sicker.
I don't think I agree ... the leanings of a Burkle would have to make a difference.
Imagine: The Chicago Tribune, LA Times, Sun Sentinel, etc. etc. etc. .. PLUS all their TV stations and websites blasting DNC planted "news" .. something helpful to them. Their columnists on talkshows, headlines in the papers, blogs spewing junk .. 24/7.
Or let's say they find a rumor started about a Pubbie (or create one) and they ALL jump on the bandwagon ... days, weeks of coverage EVERYWHERE about some trumped up or even real scandal or inconsistency.
Or .. the opposite side: positive stuff about Rats and SHE .. constantly bombarding our senses, non-stop: these major newspapers, TV stations, websites shoving fake junk in people's faces .. gullible people.
Devastating ~!!
I just called Sam Zell's office and left him a message urging him to FIGHT for this magnificent empire, and that if Burkle's group got it, it would be so dangerous for our country regarding the 08 elections.
Today was the deadline for the decision by the Tribune's board ... no decision yet, but apparently sentiment is weighted in local guy Zell's favor .. I PRAY it is so, even though he has contributed to the Dims. He's given much more to Pubbies, and he's a solid, ethical businessman and citizen.
how fitting for April Fool's Day!!!!
;-)
Yes..you are right. I am very naive when it comes to these things.
BTW...I thought it was the LIBS that have been all against media conglomerates and monopolies. I guess not in this case, huh?

Think "Fired U S Attorneys Crisis"
The Baltimore Sun is a Tribune paper that is a total partner with the Maryland Dem party. For 4 years they blasted Republican governor Ehrlich and covered up for a totally incompetent mayor of Baltimore who was 'due' to become the next dem governor of Maryland.
Now we have the totally incompetent mayor as governor. Oh joy!!
Hard to say. This is what the website says: This is not a complete list, nor can we verify these totals. This is simply a compilation of deaths reported by news agencies. Actual totals for Iraqi deaths are much higher than the numbers recorded on this site.
Socks, Scissors, Paper: The Sandy Berger Caper was an excellent documentary. We need to be raising Cain to our reps to straighten out the Justice Department and the folks at the archives.Not to mention giving Sandy Berger his lie detector test by someone that will get the truth out of him.
Well...I was right when I predicted that Matthew Dowd's interview would be brought up today...leave it to Chris Wallace...ugh
Oh. brother, Biden is saying HE isn't sure Bush will veto the bill...
Biden is such a smarmy nincompoop!
I took that as Biden trying to imply they had the President backed into a corner, leaving him little choice. If I recall, Wallace then points out that he says he will and Biden says that he has said that before, implying that he has backed down before, but I don't recall that he ever has.
What is making me so mad about this program...is just like EVERY time...when Biden is asked a specific question about why the DEMS get away with something that they won't let Bush do...Biden ignores the question..and goes on to just accuse Bush of MORE dirty deeds..
Of course Wallace doesn't argue nearly enough.
:-)
I must admit I didn't think that one up. I heard it on talk radio. I think it was Michael Medved who said, you all remember the The Bond 007 movies and the girl named ----- Galore. Well it is being bandied about on Capital Hill we now have Palosi ------.
I saw it first on your post #93 and could not stop laughing. Then Darth Republican comes on later and posts James Bond and my laughing started all over again. I didn't know where you got it or if you invented it, but I loved it.
I am a Bond fan and just loved all those names they would use on the beautiful girls.
Yeah, a bit sexist I know, but what the hell. Life is entirely too short to NOT have a sense of humor. Laugh and the world (except for the scrooges and sourpusses) laughs with you.
