12:57PM Halliburton responds to Judicial Watch lawsuit (HAL) by Michael Baron Halliburton (HAL) is off 30 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $13.82, in midday action. The company is out with a press release responding to a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, a Washington, D.C.-based legal watchdog group. The suit alleges fraudulent accounting practices at Halliburton took place during the period when current vice president Dick Cheney served as its chairman and CEO. Halliburton called the claims in the suit, "untrue, unsupported, and unfounded." The company continued: "We are working diligently with the SEC to resolve its questions regarding the company's accounting procedures. Halliburton has always followed and will continue to follow guidelines established by the SEC and GAAP, General Accepted Accounting Principles."
We're what? Have you been hitting the sauce howlin?
Furthermore, I know a couple of other non-profits that do the same thing. These non-profits include: Concerned Women for America, the Family Research Council, Young America's Foundation, among others. It is not an unusual practice.
Our current howler: JOHN NASH AWARD NOMINEE
Synopsis: Hay-yo! Andrew Sullivan, bollixed again, slammed Larry Klaymanfor liberal bias!
THOSE PESKY LABELS
Andrew Sullivan, andrewsullivan.com, 1/17/02
You simply cant make this stuff up. All hail our hero, the bollixed Brit, Andrew Sullivan:
ANDREW SULLIVAN:
THOSE PESKY LABELS: "The lawsuit alleges the defendants, during a Dec. 10, 2001 public meeting to discuss the awarding of minority-oriented contracts by Toyota, surrounded and assaulted Rev. Petersoncalling him "nigger" as they taunted and harmed him. Rev. Peterson is a nationally known conservative civil rights activist who has been critical of Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow/Push operation. At one point during the assault, Gregory Mathis, who hosts the nationally televised program "Judge Mathis," is alleged to have yelled "wheres your buddy (Bill) OReilly (of Fox News) now?" (Rev. Peterson is a regular guest on the OReillys program, "The OReilly Factor.")" U.S. Newswire. So Peterson is a conservative, but it is not relevant that Mathis or Jackson are left-liberals?
According to Sullivans meticulous web site, this item was posted at 1:34:50 P.M.ten seconds before 1:35.
Anyone who follows the battling Brit will recognize the line he was pushing. Hed again found the heartbreak of liberal bias; the Big Liberal Media had identified Rev. Peterson as a "conservative," but had failed to identify Rev. Jackson as a "liberal." Sullivan was once again boohooing loudly. Before we get to our major point, lets examine the brawling Brits lesser fumbles:
But dont waste your time with these minor memos. Lets go straight to the Big Entertainment. You may have noticed the source of the biased piece which Sullivan slams; the brainy Brit seems to think that hes quoting a report by some Liberal Outfit called "U. S. Newswire." But what exactly is U. S. Newswire? Its an on-line service which, for a fee, will post a press release for you! What was Sullivan actually quoting? It wasnt a media story at all. Incredibly, Sullivan was quoting a press release posted bythats rightLarry Klayman! Go to www.usnewswire.com and you may still find the posting (release 112-0116). Klaymans Judicial Watch was posting notice of a press conference scheduled for Thursday at noon. Silly Sullybollixed againwas quoting the section marked "Details."
So hay-yo! Helping you learn about media bias, Sullivan quoted a press release. It was not a media story. It was a release byegadsLarry Klayman!
Maybe the dude is just doing bad pills. Maybe the dude drinks too much Diet Pepsi. But one major fact has long been clear; the bollixed Brit has gone way round the bend. So the next time the little guy starts his loud, nasty ranting, we advise you to recall this latest brouhaha. Andrew Sullivanwriting bravely, writing boldly, at precisely ten seconds before 1:35took the time and the trouble to warn you of a serious problem: Larry Klayman has liberal bias!!
Your face is killing me too.
Don't you have a DNC to read? You really like them.
Oh, goody, how long I've seen this debate tactic used....."let me tell you what I just heard the President say"......from Larry, who has to lie about the polls on his own website...LOL!
Like Rendal said ... It boggles my mind
Have you ever considered this may have been asked for RICO purposes?
And to outdo himself, he told Wolf on Sunday that Bush said that Cheney was immune from the law.
