Say no more.
And my thought is: Only One?!
Always nice to check an international press (in this case, LeMonde) for some real news. "Armed with inaccessible goals, supplied with incoherent plans, constantly changing tactics, and with losses of life and resources that are constantly growing, they understand neither what they want nor how to obtain it.
In the post-Cold war era, many provisions of the 1991 START accord, which mandated deep nuclear weapons cuts, "are no longer necessary. We don't believe we're in a place where we need have to have the detailed lists (of weapons) and verification measures," added DeSutter, who handles arms control and verification issues.
Russia agrees the treaty should not be extended but wants it replaced with another legally binding treaty that makes further cuts in strategic forces, so the two sides have significant differences. "You can see the public police becoming like the public health system," said Thomas M. Seamon, a former deputy police commissioner for Philadelphia who is president of Hallcrest Systems Inc., a leading security consultant. "It's basically, the government provides a certain base level. If you want more than that, you pay for it yourself."
Hey Earl, snoze you lose. What next, Pizza Hut to patent crap?
FINALLY...
"We do not respect your son. We do not respect what he's doing all over the world," a woman in the audience bluntly told Bush after his speech. Bush, 82, appeared stunned as others in the audience whooped and whistled in approval.
Bill by Sen Allen to allow concealed weapons in national parks.
Ha-ha! He-He! Aren't the stuff on my site knee-slappers!
We're not Kansas and we clap for fairies. So what? Big deal. Who cares?

The FIX Is In!The Fix Is In Remember the Clinton/Edwards nod and wink: Weve got to cut the number of candidates? Next thing you know Clinton and Obama are going all WWF on us . Grabbing all the headlines. Degrading the american political dialog to now including "swift-boating" other entire countries! Just to do one thing: KEEP THE CAMERAS ON THEM! Yep, that's all. Raised tensions all around the world, just so Kucinich and Mike Gravel and Bill Richardson are muscled out by simply denying them face time on the TV. Most people ain't readin folks. Not even this! I know, I can't believe it either.
So yes, this whole and still ongoing! political bikini mud-wrestling was orchestrated. Absoltely.
Obama sold his soul for a tasty cabinet position. He has defined himself as an aggressor and that will forever follow him. For him to say something that seemed so out of character or, at least not in synch with a core value of many of his supporters. Much Surprise...to be kind. But then he said it again! And again! Stunning. So, yea. He sold his candidacy and very local and proud supporters out for a seat at the table. Thanks for playing our little game...Suckers.
Edwards is thinking he can take on Hillary. And getting rid of Kucinich the most intelligent and grounded candidate as you will ever find allows Edwards to inherit that stranded electorate. (Hint to Edwards: You'll have to EARN it, brother. ) And Edwards, no doubt, should feel good about his chances against Obama. While Clinton, I am sure, is, without a doubt certain that Edwards is a small problem which is about to be taken care of. I mean, very soon! Any predictions?
In the above article. Kucinich calls this out hard with his usual precise language and tight logic. For more insights into the Kucinich candidacy check out: Kucinich '08

Racism and Comedy Wrap UpJanuary 24 High Contrast Comedy stage a wonderful evening on racism and comedy. This was an interactive evening where comics were performing racially charged material and it was to be discussed in an open forum. A wild night! IT'S OUR COUNTRY! LET'S TAKE IT BACK!!! Americans understand in their gut that the long-term consequences of disillusionment with democracy, here and abroad, would be disastrous. In the same way Congress repudiated an out-of-control president three decades ago, the House and Senate must show the world today that our celebrated system of checks and balances is not just a fanciful mirage.
