Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help: To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service (tm), the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

Dennis Miller was so great tonight.

Is there a transcript available online?

MSNBC cam back up for me now

100 degrees forecast, bummer....I think its a good time for our troops to take a pause, at least fuel and get supplies up, limit daytime work and rest up for night duties.

[RummyChick]

I hope I am watching when a US soldier goes by that cam. Who is actually paying for this cam, who is collecting the money people are paying to use it, and most of all who employs Achmed and his buddy. The guys are talking to someone on the ground

[Carolina]

But where did they go?

Dispersed throughout the city in private homes is my guess. Praying that it's not so.

[The Wizard]

and it's the end of kerry, stick a fork in him, he's done.....even David Broder just about admitted he blew it...self inflicted wound

He can spend the money, but Kerry took himself out

[DollyCali]

We again need to keep in mind that this "War on Baghdad" is in fact a campaign in the overall War on Terrorism that pres Bush announced after 911 - a "mini-war" of sorts in the ongoing struggle. I feel there many be other "campaigns" after this. I am surely not the expert on these matters that most of you are but my feelings are that now that we have all the troops there & the US majority opinion supporting the idea of minimizing the chance of assults to us etc, we will be able to justify & find other places the next "take the War" ... first thought - Syria?

[LauraJean]

They are stupid and they have no knowledge of history. During the late unpleasantness with the last president a reporter called up will I was at the refrence desk to ask if Ann Rutledge had ever visited Lincoln at the White House.

[Mad Dawgg]

"Levanthal whining again. He's a wuss."

Hey Man, lay off the Rickster! He is the man! He is my fav embedded reporter!

BTW Ahmed on Bagcam sounds like he needs some Bran flakes this AM!

[Big Bad Bob]

I've got some interesting facts about Mr Blix, but they don't add up. He was Minister of Foreign Affairs in Sweden from 1978-1980, when the Liberal Party got into power. This is the dodgy part. The Liberal Party was a ultra-left, almost Radicalist party, with Marxist beginnings, but according to the information which I been able to gather in the five minutes, does not describe the Party as a Socialist party. WHY?

[prairiebreeze]

I don't know about transcript. Maybe NBC / Jay Leno would have one on site. There was a thread on Main forum going about the show last night too. Searching for Dennis Miller might locate it.

[Carolina]

Rob, what's the freeper login for the WashJourn?

[gop212]

Morning All. Anything big happen this morning at CENTCOM?

[SendShaqtoIraq]

I've shrunk it down for you, but don't know how to put it on the web and post it. If you want to privately send me your email address I'd be glad to send it to you, or if you prefer I will send u my email addy first.

[Big Bad Bob]

There may be trouble ahead...

[Sacajaweau]

Miller was a little more serious last night and really took Moore to task in a very logical way. Thank you Dennis. You are speaking for us.

[commish]

Agree totally -- I think both Syria and Iran have a serious case of the Jitters right now.

US Military: Troops find boxes of white powder at a site in Iraq
US Military: Troops find info on chem warfare at site
Iraqi Car bomb explodes at check point
Suspicious Materials found at Latifiya Industrial site
Military Sources: 9 bodies found in POW raid are American

[Carolina]

...does not describe the Party as a Socialist party. WHY?

Is there a credible conservative movement in Sweden? Or is socialism soooo mainstream that to label oneself "socialist" is redundant.
