And of course, without a trace of irony, I am once more EPU’d.

We’re all EPU’d on this bus.

Raw Story titilations:

1. Fox hosts: Kick Helen Thomas out, give Fox her seat: Soon…

2. Shocker: National greeting site’s Valentine card shows Pelosi, Kerry, Dean in bondage, Hillary in maid outfit… Developing…

In the spirit of giving credit where it’s due:
The VD cards, in a sophomoric way, I found funny. And I’m one of the first to say wingnut humor is an oxymoron.

Kathleen @ 123. Yes, many are convinced NPR does have the same agendum as The Lobby/AIPAC/PNAC. There are many of us who call it RIA — Radio Israel in America. As you said yesterday, was it, one is not surprised to hear the from Liverpool immigrant Kopppel stepping into the Schorr shoes. Small but incremental shavings away at the truth, cherry-picking topics, picking interviewees carefully……. on and on!

I watched the presser this AM and noticed that in response to questions about Iranian involvement in Iraq, BUSH asked the rhetorical question: which is worse, that the Iranian government knew about the QUDS unit activity in Iraq or that the Iranian gov did not know about the QUDS unit activity in Iraq?

I wonder if BUSH understands there are millions of Muslim people in the Middle East, who ask the quest5ion: which is worse, that BUSH/CHENEY/RUMSFELD/ETC knew about Abu Qhraib and did not know.

Many thanks. Keep up the good work.

Further Adventures in Reading the New York Times…

This seems like an important issue to me, maybe you could help clarify:

Motive or reason for Iranian involvement: If the Administration allegations are true, it still doesn’t leave them open to assume an Iranian motivation specifically to kill U.S. soldiers, as it’s being sold.

Facts: Anarchic open warfare is raging on Irans largest border. For the first time in at least 28 years that same country has a majority government allied with the Iranian government. Across that same border are 250,000 hostile troops (U.S. regular forces and mercenaries).

I think it’s reasonable to infer Iran has serious national security risk on their border and should be expected to do something about it.
But our leaders sell Irans alleged actions as a direct attack against th U.S.

Where am I going with this?
