Oh goody. Now I can sleep tonight.

The Iraq Study Group solved this problem. They’re going to call it “The Late Unpleasantness“.

BTW…Cozumel, hope you’re looking for change in the sofa cushions. Gonna’ need that Lincoln next week.

The consensus is- use the free enterprise system- sell Iraq to the highest bidder- let the buyer beware.

Damn internets ate my Zed…is anybody else feeling cloogged tubes? Not just here, but everywhere? Curse you Ted Stevens!

Yes, “you broke it you own it” not working out sogood.

Americans see civil war in Iraq, want to withdraw.

According to a new Harris poll, 68 percent of Americans say they believe there is a civil war in Iraq, compared with 14 percent who disagree. Only 13 percent think new Defense nominee Robert Gates will make the situation in Iraq better, versus 42 percent who think he will make no difference. “About half of those polled would like the government to set a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops in Iraq, while 18% favor withdrawing all U.S. troops now and 19% favor sending more troops to stabilize the situation.”

Uh.

Mah.

Gawd!

I love this little girl. Is this her only vlog?

Oh moeman, I sure hope that’s going to be YouTubed!! Dean speaking French? that’ll do to me what ‘Tish speaking French did for Gomez Addams. [sigh]

Why isn’t Dean running in ‘08, again?

Oooh, I forgot about this video. Howie showed it to me a while back and he had it on DWT, and I sorta wanted to use it sometime, but I forgot and never got to it. I love it!

Just my toobz I guess…

There is an intermittent problem with one of our major routers in Indiana which is affecting service speeds in a number of communities served by Insight, primarily in northern and central Indiana but with some impact in Louisville as well. We are working on the problem and will post an update here when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.

They probably outsourced the maintenance!

“A GODDAMN CHRISTIAN!!”

It doesn’t get much cuter than eight-year-olds saying things like that.

“Here Comes The Sun”. Little darling, I feel the ice is slowly melting…

If you’re still looking angie, thanks.

~~~

- ice storm references about helping each other (man is his French good)

- neighbours help neighbours, mentions NOLA support from Canada

- connected by shared values and ideals (democracy, peace, prosperity)

- we have choices and the consequences matter, greatly

- renewing international relationships is a key goal

- we have work to do (common Liberal line up here)

- the place of power and how it is practiced

- “power grows from the grassroots up”

- never cede a single voter, not one

- “we” are going to win next Spring (possible CDN election)

- court all donors

- 50 States, 13 provinces, show up everywhere, everywhere keep doing it

(this is gonna be one great transcript once posted, I’ll link it later)

- we can win anywhere, a true national party

- earn the votes

- invest early, state level, lay a foundation for outstanding candidates

- win at any level, anywhere

- says he isn’t zen but trust the voter

- power into practice, fight for your beliefs, guiding principles cannot be modified or wrong(ed)

- …

oh moeman - the second I read your Howard Dean tip I went to C-Span - no Howard but FITZ photograph was on screen as Amy Goodman’s guest author Peter Lance is dishing Larry Johnson - sorry if this is old news - and annoyingly too far OT.

“On December 6 the Iraq Study Group will present its report to President George W. Bush, the U.S. Congress and the American people,” said the source, who spoke on condition that he not be named.

According to a new Harris poll, 68 percent of Americans say they believe there is a civil war in Iraq, compared with 14 percent who disagree.

And 31 percent of those who believe there’s a civil war think slavery is a question best left to the states.

OT: Mike Malloy talking about Pace filling for Rummy: “… now that Rumsfeld has gone off to the home for elderly, insane warmongers….” :)

~~~

- power for all, learn from Canada (affordable health care)

- innovation in finding cures

- ‘just society’ quotes Pierre Trudeau (my hero)

- links Dem and Lib parties, stewards of the environment

- change of course in Iraq

- quotes Clinton’s “no staying the course, stop and think”

- conquer by dividing (eg. clusterfcuk)

- diversity defines us

- the ‘we’ party vs. the ‘me’ party

- inspire a sense of community

- greatest days are still ahead

Sorry if it seemed like a thread hijack but I got caught up in the Dean moment. It wasn’t rousing but it was a foundation speech. The Libs need to hear this kind of message. I’ve always liked Howard Dean. My respect for him just grew and then some. Merci Mr. Dean.

merci, moeman…

What, like that’s hard?

In the end, I want payment from those who got us into Iraq. I want recompense for those who have suffered for so long in the hell that is Gaza. I want penance from the perpetrators on behalf of the ghosts of Lebanon. I want justice.

Bob Geiger picks up story of Sen. Chris Dodd (D. CT) writing Bush to ask that he not implement Military Commissions Act until new Sec. of Def. (Gates) can ensure its lawfulness.

Republicans Want Vote on Abortion Bill

While they still can, House Republicans are looking at scheduling a vote next week on a fetal pain abortion bill in a parting shot at incoming majority Democrats and a last bid for loyalty from the GOP’s base of social conservatives.

Iraq Panel to Recommend Pullback of Combat Troops

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29 — The bipartisan Iraq Study Group reached a consensus on Wednesday on a final report that will call for a gradual pullback of the 15 American combat brigades now in Iraq but stop short of setting a firm timetable for their withdrawal, according to people familiar with the panel’s deliberations.
