Kos had a post up about the term “main stream media”- very insightful. He suggests use of term “traditional media” instead. Agree with him we should adopt that.

“Or will they actually do something to restrain Bush’s war?”

They will not. The War in Iraq is motivated by access the to the sweet crude beneath Al-Anbar. “Executive Oil” aided by “corpocratpugs” aka “asselephants” care not for law, or borders, only profit and the cost is blood and death. If not for the love of oil……..

Natural Selection, Corporate Treason and “Executive Oil.”

So, now that the much ballyhooed Patreus Report in September that was supposed to be the defining moment in the Occupation of Iraq has already been exposed as another opportunity for the White House for spin control, what are the Democrats going to do? Will they make a lot of noise, wail, moan, whine, and wring their hands, but do nothing, as so many times before? Or will they actually do something to restrain Bush’s war?

Selise had some interesting comments on a previous thread today, and not knowing what he wrote, I wrote on similar lines near the end of the thread without realizing that we were perhaps headed in the same direction. My best guess is that the Democrats will storm and stomp, propose a wonderful sounding bill to stop the war that has no teeth, and then blame the Blue Dogs for holding them back. But as Selise suggests, the Blue Dogs are not the real problem.

So do you think that all those fresh young voters are going to take a shine to Hillary? I can see them running scared from Mitt, Rudy and the rest, but we’d better not take it for granted that they’ll be anything more than ‘likely’ to vote for a Democratic presidential candidate.

Any Dem who wants their vote should probably be talking to them in person on a college campus.

It is so true. I have this tiny driveway at home in Cleveland, and I’m a great driver. So WHY have I had an accident in my own driveway, like twice? Loving FDL and all of today’s writers news.

I knocked over both a small tree (right side of driveway) and a mailbox (left side of tree) at my parents’ house when I was 17. Done much better since leaving home.

I have been away a bit, and I see that everyone has moved upstairs. But, TB, thanks for another great laugh! Gawd, I backed into the model T of the guy across the street, when I was in HS. He was my “prom” date.

Judge McKeown: “I feel like I’m in Alice and Wonderland.”

Eisenberg: “I feel like I’m in Alice in Wonderland, too.”
WTF kind of Just-us is that??? Wow, that’s Federal judges askin’ that sorta question…???

hear, hear:

Garre argued that courts are not the right forum for complaints about government surveillance, and that “other avenues” are available. “What is that? Impeachment?” Pregerson shot back

this is from the bench, in front of the other judges.
totally cool.
