This is what happened in Italy a few years back. Rommey for King just around the corner.

OT Gwen Ifill interviewing Nancy Pelosi on the NewsHour. Ifill practically repeats Glenn Greenfield’s article today about all the Democratic cave-ins. Good on her. I don’t say that often. As for Pelosi, it is the same ole same ole. It’s business as usual –which is madness in the middle of a disaster. It’s like Pelosi lives in a different world from us.

Clear Channel, bad juju, no kidding. They were born just a bit south of here in San Antonio. My mother grew up with the family who started it. They are just a tad rich. And a tad reactionary. Go Mitt.

Oh man, couple that with Cofer Black…Run Away! Run Away!!!

Dang, that is really, really scary. Throw yer radios out the window America!!!

I hope Edwards kicks all of their butts around the block. Barring election fraud, I think he will. Just sayin’.

Extended family member dealt with Romney in his Bain days. You’d not be surprised to hear MR “would do anything” to get the job done. The family member, an older wealthy, dyed-in-the-wool Republican is making the rounds preaching against Mitt.

I’m still not over the dog on the top of the car!

Ah, Clear Channel. Eeeeek.

We ought to make presidential candidates take vows of poverty. This is getting ridiculous. A lot of rich people think they are really really smart, when in actuality they just had really really good timing or really really good luck. Why do their egos need presidential affirmation. Sheesh.

There is no “news media” in the US any more. I got out when I realized it was just a joke.

I get my news from BBC.

I’m still not over the dog on the top of the car!

But, but the trunk was already full with the kids!

The corporatization of the media was the primary impetus for the creation of the blogosphere. Corporations serve their own interests, not those of news readers.

Propitious timing, that. I wonder how long it will be until the good Mr. Martin is hired on to a lucrative position through the ever popular revolving entryway?

What happened to Romney that made him need to “achieve” so? What did his parents do to him? These kind of people are sick.

jane, this topic is the very biggest, most important issue of our age, possibly in the history of ths nation

consolidated media has dumbed down our country to a point that even people I consider intelligent, accept the propaganda though the propaganda they accept is clearly false

second would be corporate sponsorship of elections but singular in how it affects every other aspect of politics, this country and our government, has been the consolidation of media

IT IS IMPERATIVE for the fourth estate to rise again as the sentry it MUST be if our country is to survive

and alas, it’s this issue that demotes president clinton’s presidency to the level of failure

possibly to the level as damaging this country and her constitution beyond repair

it’s this one issue that is more important then all others and I can only pray there is something we can do about it

we MUST break the stranglehold of singular ownership and return the airwaves to the owners of those airwaves

the american people

this is my prayer for this country

Here’s a tip for the Romney family in case they ever want to take a long ride again with the dog: there’s generally room for even a big dog at people’s feet in the back seat, or one of the back seats, as the case may be.

Yeah Republican economical activity is really cool:

Inflation up 3.2%, highest in 32 years

The corporatization of the media was the primary impetus for the creation of the blogosphere. Corporations serve their own interests, not those of news readers.

the blogospher will perish unless we break up corporate media

they are already at it, soon they will begin to choke the bandwidth of firedoglake, of kos, of think progress and we will be no more

all it will take is one more neo fascist presidency and we are gone

Speaking for myself only. I like the sound of “Bain and Burkle”.

Romney and Bain is a story that is under reported…Romney is the pretty face to greedy business practice…Bain rapes and pillages….

I worked for almost 1o years for a company owned by Bain.I was laid off in May…I did the job of two people..but that didn’t matter when it came to “profits”. They bought the family owned business I worked for and ran it in the ground…

Orrrr… how about “Bain, Burkle and Band”?

http://online.wsj.com/public/a…..39360.html

Spotlight this post. I’ve tried, but I make a mess of it… :(

That’s exactly what they do. And they will stop at nothing to get the information that will enable them to buy a company.

Companies like Bain should be called “vulture investors” except they kill and eat their prey.

And then there is ‘Yucaipa’.

I’d still like to understand what the DLC does exactly.

all it will take is one more neo fascist presidency and we are gone

I agree that another Republican President and you might as well buy a lot of butter because this country will be toast.

Monopolism is what capitalist seek, not competition. They wan’t to vanquish the competition and then scoop it up and they own the market.

The consolidation of the media is super dangerous because they use the media not only for profit, but for propaganda.

People have come to depend on the media for their window on the world. It’s so skewed now we, the people, may have lost our way in the fog in media noise.

They have trained the people to be lapdogs for spectator sports, celebrity nonsense, and of course consumerism. Now we all value ourselves by our “image” and our image is comprised of our possessions. We be not lobotomized but logoized.

Americans are lemmings and we are headed off the cliff.

I don’t trust Mitt.

I’d still like to understand what the DLC does exactly.

It helps elect Republicans as Democrats. Next question.

I don’t understand why we need physics professors when we have President Bush or National Intelligence Estimates when we have Curveball.

Actually, It may be quite amusing to watch Limbarg & Co sell Mitt “Cult Member” Romney to adherents of a different cult. Glenn “Halfwit” Beck is a member of the Child-Molesting Polygamists…er, sorry, LDS, so that might help.

Even if Romney is not receiving perks or money from this at this point, publicizing it and putting it in simple terms that the country cannot have monopolization of the media and be free at the same time, especially when a presidential candidate has a fairly recent conflict of interest. Also, the public has a pretty bad taste in its mouth after Halliburton and Dick. It has to be put out there in simple terms with that comparison.

Tut-tut. Romney is a legitmate robber barron doing business under the name of Bain.

Mike Huckabee is a simple man of God;

Gee. I was wanting something a bit more dramatic.

“Clear” Channel. What a scream.

“Clear Channel” sounds more like scientlology than Mormonism.

Did you know the “lemmings off the cliff” deal is a myth. . .as far as the merican people. . .

Tut-tut. Romney is a legitmate robber barron doing business under the name of Bain.

it’s hardly the Bain of his existence.

Lahoma is reminding me it’s time for Olbermann.

The myth of lemming mass suicide is long-standing and has been popularized by a number of factors. In 1955, Carl Barks drew an Uncle Scrooge adventure comic with the title: The Lemming with the Locket. This comic, which was inspired by a 1954 National Geographic article, showed massive numbers of lemmings jumping over Norwegian cliffs.[7]. The suicide myth was further propagated by Walt Disney documentary White Wilderness in 1958 which includes footage of lemmings migrating and running head-long over a ledge. An investigation in 1983 by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Brian Vallee, showed that the Disney film makers faked the entire sequence using imported lemmings (bought from Inuit children), a snow covered turntable on which a few dozen lemmings were forced to run, and literally throwing lemmings into the sea to show the alleged suicides.[8] This myth is also witnessed in a German film – The Little Polar Bear (lars, the polar bear)–in which a group of despondent lemmings are frequently jumping off various ledges.[9]

Thank you, Lahoma!

Judging from the reaction to stolen elections, or lies about things like 9/11 and Iraq, I can’t help but wonder if the American people are as dumb as the debt bubble.

Good grief. We need those Rowdy Roddy Piper glasses from the movie ‘They Live’ so we can read the real messages written on the billboards that Clear Channel owns in every town in the USA.

Mitt CoBain.

From Common Dreams:

WASHINGTON, DC – December 13 — Today, all five members of the Federal Communications Commission were grilled on media ownership at a Senate Commerce Committee oversight hearing.

Ben Scott, policy director of Free Press, made the following statement:

“Despite intense opposition from members of both parties, Chairman Martin still hasn’t answered why unchecked media consolidation is good for the American people — or why he’s in such a hurry.

“With the big giveaway to Tribune out of the way, and issues of media diversity and localism left unaddressed, Martin simply cannot justify his rush to gut media ownership rules by Dec. 18.

“His continued evasion and double-speak on this critical issue is an insult to the 99 percent of the public who have spoken out against letting Big Media get even bigger. This broken and corrupt process has been a sham.”

http://www.commondreams.org/news2007/1213-09.htm

Did you know the “lemmings off the cliff” deal is a myth. . .as far as the merican people. . .

That is what makes it so compelling. Our country isn’t just self-destructing, which is bad enough. It is doing so using an urban myth as a model, which is flat out crazy.

Mitt CoBain.

Here we are now, entertain us

VERY interesting, makes me hate disney more, man if I had kids I don’t know HOW but I’d find a way to never take them to the park

anyway, reading the info you posted made me do a wiki search and here is probably the main reason people thought they commit suicide;

they can and do swim to migrate from over population, also, when migrating they might reach a cliff and be forced over from the pressure of populace, this would obviously look like a sort of suicide

anyway, here’s the wiki on point

While many people believe that lemmings commit mass suicide when they migrate, this is not the case. Driven by strong biological urges, they will migrate in large groups when population density becomes too great. Lemmings can and do swim and may choose to cross a body of water in search of a new habitat[5]. On occasion, and particularly in the case of the Norway lemmings in Scandinavia, large migrating groups will reach a cliff overlooking the ocean. They will stop until the urge to press on causes them to jump off the cliff and start swimming, sometimes to exhaustion and death. Lemmings are also often pushed into the sea as more and more lemmings arrive at the shore. [6]

The lemmings extincted themselves silly. And we are headed the way of the DoDO bird.

Olbermann doing a story on baseball and steroids. I want all cheating players held accountable.

The big story is steroids of overpaid athletes. See what I mean? We are consumed by nonsense and the important stuff we could care less about.

I care

when did we become the Soviet Bloc?

Professional athletes are all drug addicted wife beaters & fans are mindless tribalists. They deserve each other.

LOL

I love baseball. I loath cheaters.

FWIW, steroids/HGH is a huge problem in high school athletics.

You have to be kidding

Talk about cognitive dissonance. Baseball is more boring than submarine races & is filled with cheaters.

Fargo’s only newspaper and the local ABC affiliate are owned by the same family, grandfathered in years ago. The local NBC affiliate and CBS affiliate are owned by two divisions of the same holding company, Texas company, I think. Not good for journalism. Not good for democracy–national or hometown.

…& fans are mindless tribalists.

A bit harsh, eCahn! I certainly wouldn’t consider myself mindless…

Some might say the same about the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates.

Maybe Bush and Cheney have roid rage.

And some might say ALL FDL people are whiny puck ass commies.

lol

Maybe Pelosi and Reid need some.

A winner! But we do seem to be aware of the cognitive dissonce on the D side. Doin our best because politics is important, whereas baseball …

Humans have already committed mass suicide with global warming. Once the ice begins to melt, the tipping point is past. The latest estimate is that the Arctic will be ice free, in the summer, in less than five years. A year ago, it was thirty years. A well know British climatologist now predicts that the human population will be reduced from 6.1+ billion to 500 million in 100 years.

But most people would not make such a sweeping statement about people they don’t really know.

Someone posted earlier that W had proof he never took performance enhancing drugs. Just look at the performance.

Puck ass? Does that have something to do with hockey?

I would never, hopefully, use the word ALL. ;0)

61 in 61–Maris is still the champ.

LOL – maybe, maybe not!

Just seeing what a little provocation, near & dear to hearts of some, will evoke. Thought it would be so bad I’d have to hide underneath my computer table while the brickbats were being hurled. So far, it’s been more mild than I expected.

Was that real?? Gawd, I thought it was a joke…he was in baseball….nah…it’s just the stupid oversized shoulder pads. I’ve been looking at all these politicians…The shoulder pads are getting ridiculous…they all look like they’re on Dallas…I’m wider than you are….except for..well you know who….

No, it has something to do with NO EDIT function!

I’m a tribeless mindalist.

707

That’s because baseball is boring, now, if you start dissin football and the hoop!

Joke. Didn’t flag it because I thought it was so obvious. Sometimes one forgets that tone of voice & body language are not present in blogs unless specifically typed.

Don’t get me started. I think I’ve done enough damage for one threead.

I’m a tribeless mindalist.

Aren’t we all after we have had a few?

I’d rather vote for a neophyte than a neofascist.

BTW Raven, I was my high school mascot for the football season. Bennett Tiger, with full body suit, just face uncovered.

HRC said, some people demand change, some people hope for change, she works for change…

I’m for that Demander Guy!!!

Cool, I spent many years in public recreation trying to get people to let their kids PLAY and stop all the BS about winning at all costs. Then I went back to school and changed fields.

In order to enter a more competitive field??? *g*

I’d rather vote for a neophyte than a neofascist.

Where do neo-fashionistas fall into this scheme of things?

I wish the Demander Guy would win at all costs!!!

No, an even more “marginal” one, adult literacy education. I be a drop-out GED grad too.

democrats channeling Vince Lombardi:

“whining isn’t everything… it’s the only thing!”

KO….someone referred to Obama as a neophyte…I think the pukes are neofascists, not real pukes anymore. JMHO

Mitt. It’s supposed to run against the teachings of the Bible to be greedy. Where do you stand on the issue of greediness?

Actually he said “making the effort to win is everything”.

lol again

Yeah, I’m just a girl, so I think excessive focus on winning does no good for anyone. Have always been very athletic, including some competitive sports, but the thrill was in the participation. Liked to win, but was never good enough for that to be the object. Never liked watching any sports, including the ones I did myself. Doing is fun, watching is not.

But it’s so marginal I couldn’t get a job in it so now I am an instructional designer. Weird.

Where do neo-fashionistas fall into this scheme of things?

They’re in.

Neocons are out.

Auf weidersehn….*air kiss*

huh.

Wiki isn’t everything, it’s the only thing:

The quote is most widely attributed to American football coach Vince Lombardi; however, he did not coin the phrase. Lombardi is on record using the quote as early as 1959 in his opening talk on the first day of the Packers’ training camp.

Senator Clinton: In view your husbands difficulities while President, I am thinking “I did not inhale” and it ‘depends on what your definition of is, is’, do you take issue with what some call a cheap shot regarding your campaign’s mention of Obama’s dabbling in drugs during his high school days?

That was what I always tried to stress. Kipling said,

“If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;”

Think of it this way, “we never lost a battle in Vietnam” and we know how that turned out.

Neoconmen is good too, but neofascist tells it like it really is.

Loved the VN tie-in.

KO: Guiliani accused of profiting off the NSA’s illegal spying on us without warrants. Apparently he was a “consultant” of some kind on the project.

Neofasssscchhhhisssssssttttssss….got some bite and a hisssss to it.

Hmmm. Perhaps I should change my politics & my screen name to neoCAHN.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! It’s reserved for the special people, you know…them.

Sports are fine to play and dumb to watch and invest so much time and money in.

They love you hooked on spectator sports and they turned into a corporate rip off scheme with overpaid celebs and even get the people to pay for THEIR stadiums. Let em pay for their own damn stadiums.

Actually, it works for my son. Off to email him.

Cheating has become a function of todays culture.

http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/004895.php

Hissssssssssssssss

Rudi is about a flawed a candidate as their can be.

He’s a thug, a coward and tries to be a bully. He’s mean and he’s a liar. He is cheat and a misogynist and a racist to boot.

His wife gives me the creeps.

Ghouliani gets paid every time an American gets spied on.

as there can be… bring back EDIT please!

Arianna on Olbermann. The second smartest person I know of.

Things are getting astrange…..

Ariana..re: Rudester….eets eeeeeleeeegle…eets eeeeleeeegle..Go girl!

OK, here is the real quote from Lombardi’s own website

“Winning isn’t everything–but wanting to win is.”

http://www.vincelombardi.com/about/quotes5.htm

the wiki has fallen prey to what people want to think he said.

Arianna. Now there’s presidential timber. Yes I know she was born in Greece.

It’s fundamental to my life.

She’s cool. She sounds like Zsa Zsa. Dahling, eeets eeeeleeegle.

Gawd, I’d love to see Arianna one on one debating HRC.

I’m so damned depressed about everything, I think I’ll comment on the lemmings –

by way of squirrels (and all things squirrely!). I can believe mass numbers of lemmings migrate because of the day I saw what looked to be THOUSANDS of squirrels cross the street together, running in my direction. No kidding.

I almost ran back into the house in terror, but I could see they were coming not toward my family’s house, but to the next door neighbor’s yard to climb a gigantic maple tree (the 150 yr old variety of tree, huge!).

The whole tree was shaking with the weight of at least several hundred squirrels. When I did make it back inside, I picked up an old multi-volume encyclopedia (from the 40’s?) called “The Animal Kingdom” in the bookcase and read the article on squirrels. Right there it stated that it’s been observed that occasionally thousands of squirrels will suddenly travel together in one huge, densely packed “river” of squirrels, heading off to who knows where. The article stated that at the time of writing, scientists had no idea why they do this, as it doesn’t seem to be very often — maybe once every so many decades.

So maybe the American people are just squirrely. [And yes, I was scared to come out of the house, really. Pissed off squirrels are nasty critters. Hundreds of them at once means mob squirrel psychology at work. Shudder…]

I’ve noticed. Never thought I’d live to see VN fought all over again.

Boooooooshhhh…eeets eeeeeleeegle….Dahling….hisssss

wow, that must have been maui wowie

Yea, people used to like to say “why don’t you guys just forget about it, it’s over”.

Better than Bowie Wowie!!!

David?

You should meet Mrs. Giuliani in person — much creepier than she appears on TV.

i want some!

Hi Gnome… ah, yes, the Lowry Mays empire. Do we ever need regulation!

OK, you win… :~)

Cheech

OK, you win… :~)

now that is funny!

There are two people, when they talk politics, I listen. One is Arianna.

Great story. And new info too.

Despite huge oak & hickory trees in the country there are very few squirrels. Too many hawks, owls & coyotes, apparently. However, one did get caught in my wood stove during a time I wasn’t at the house. When I next came & got the stove all ablaze, it pushed the doors (which I keep ajar until the fire’s going strong) open & jumped out. I thought it was a rat, as all the tail fur had been singed off, but when I saw it bound away, I figured out what it actually was.

a pretty bad French movie: Lemming

Do tell the story behind your comment.

A few months back I counted 44 red-tailed hawks flying together. Bizarre!

My two Westie dogs have either a love or hate thing for squirrels. They won’t tell me.

No, I was sober as a…what’s the saying, sober as a judge? It really happened.

BTW, I still have my parents’ “The Animal Kingdom” encyclopedia right in the next room of our house here in AZ (the squirrels imitated lemmings in the Northeast).

If ya don’t believe me, I could look up the article in the book and quote from it directly. It did really scare the bejeepers out of me. Happened in 1995. Since then I wondered if we were having “climate change” animal reactions back then already. Back at the folks’ house, there were all sorts of changes in local suburban “fauna.” As a kid we never saw chipmunks or mockingbirds, but by the early nineties they were somehow suddenly newly “native” to the area.

Hiya y’all.

Why do they call it BAIN? Doesn’t that mean something that makes your life horrible?

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to cast aspersions.

Oh man, you do NOT want a squirrel to accidentally get in your house. They go ballistic, leaping from wall to furniture to curtain, ripping and shredding everything.

The fact that you didn’t mention having to buy all new furniture suggests that you were lucky. We knew a family that had to make an insurance claim on “destruction by squirrel.”

Bowie Wowie:

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) — One of seven men accused of conspiring to blow up Chicago’s Sears Tower was acquitted Thursday, and a federal jury in Miami failed to reach a verdict on six others arrested in the alleged terror plot.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced that the six whose cases ended in mistrials would be retried starting on January 7.

Lyglenson Lemorin, who also goes by the name Brother Levi, was acquitted in the “Liberty City 7″ trial, U.S. District Judge Joan Leonard’s office told

Knew her (via the NYC private school scene) before she & Rudy were an item. Have never met a woman as “on the make” at that one. There’s an old expression (related to horses) “ridden hard and put away wet” — applies here.

The real sadness that’s yet to mentioned is her only child – adopted with the second husband. If there’s any victim in Judy’s world (she was never “Judith”), it’s her daughter. She was a pawn in a brutally ugly divorce and was pretty much on her own during the Rudy/Judy courtship.

“Giuliania” is not a nice world.

Envision. President Romney. Or President Huckabee. Or President Giuliani.

Despite huge oak & hickory trees in the country there are very few squirrels.

I have plenty around here. Can drop ship you some? A dozen? Two? 3 gross? I’m sure there might be some causalities along the way, however they seem pretty resilient.

The word you’re thinking of is BANE, not Bain.

No idea where the name came from, though.

Oh my, that must have been a sight.

Although it does remind me of my older sister’s tale about going to see the Hitchcock movie, The Birds, the week it first opened at a fancy center-city movie theater. It was a late night showing on a week-night. When everyone came out of theater, she said the whole audience was looking up, scanning the skies.

What you saw in the sky would have triggered a stampede amongst ‘em, just like a pack of….squirrels.
;-)

Cassero, what up?

David Neiwert has a new thread upstairs!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmings

“While many people believe that lemmings commit mass suicide when they migrate, this is not the case. Driven by strong biological urges, they will migrate in large groups when population density becomes too great.”

Learning something new all the time! LOve the info!!!!!

I have seven doors in my kitchen, which is where the wood stove is. 3 leading to other rooms were open & I closed them right away while the squirrel cowered. I then opened the outside door and waited. No movement. I went back into the kitchen & approached the poor thing such that he was between me & the open door. So he bounded out, which is when I figured out what it was. Guess I missed the disaster you describe because squirrel was in shock from being burned. The stove had been roaring for about 10 min before he made his way thru the fire & got out.

Yo, where’s the love, I posted that at #39!

Oh, not to worry! :-)

I just thought folks should know it wasn’t a “shaggy dog story.” I still would love to know if scientists have figured out that unusual squirrel behavior.

But I must admit I haven’t invested lots of research into finding out the latest scientific reporting on squirrel tribal behavior…

Seven doors in the kitchen! Sounds like a Orson Welles movies.

Or perhaps you’d like some of my hawks, owl coyotes? The latter have bad mange.

It’s a federal crime to mess with Red Tails I think.

LOL — “Mangy”— sounds like an appelation for the Giuliani household!

Stone house, built by Huguenot family in 1817. The other 4 doors are 2 to the outdoors & 2 to pantries. Also have 7′ wide cooking fireplace, which is where the wood stove sits.

WOW!

The ones around here are gray. Guess I’ll escape prosecution on that score. Besides, I didn’t invite him into my wood stove. He got trapped there all by himself. Had a couple of birds get in too. Some were still alive & was able to release. One of two died.

You be ever-so-brave! I’m not sure I could have handled it so wisely; I admire that spirit!

What’s that I hear? Sounds like my ol’ man getting home. Must go greet him.

I guess the story about finding my dad (dressed in his 3-piece suit for work where he was about to drive off for) on the roof swinging a baseball bat at squirrels trying to burrow under the eaves into the attic will have to wait for another day. LOL.

Have a good evening my dearest Pups. Sorry I was so non-political tonight, but really I’ve been too depressed about everything. It did my heart good to chat with y’all tonight.

Hawks and owls are always welcome. Owls are a favorite of mine.

I’m not too familiar with coyotes, but why not. This town needs to be shaken up.

I meant red tail hawks.

Red-tailed hawks are protected under the U.S. Migratory Bird Act and CITES Appendix II. ()

my bad. Did you see the piece in the NYT today about the English Estate used in Atonement?

Oooooo, my. Sounds ever so loverly. Can I come visit??? :-) I promise to try to be braver about wild-life!

[Now I’m really going….]

I love baseball. I loath cheaters.

These are incompatible emotions. Cheatling has a longstanding history in baseball.

And I still don’t get why it’s okay for derek jeter to have an eye operation so that he can see as well as Ted Wiliams could, or to have Tommy John surgery, but not okay to take a legal drug

I listen to one radio network: Nova-M. Mostly because Mike Malloy is my all-time favorite. (I like Bernie Ward, too, but he isn’t on at this time — more right-wing attempts to take every, single liberal off the air.)

The right-wingers can buy up as many networks as they like — I will never, ever listen to them.

A shame more Americans aren’t as smart as I am. haha

I know this is very late in the thread, but re; Gouli’s lobbying connection to the Matrix program, Why was Jeb Bush in the meeting?

‘The White House looks like another one of those doors that Giuliani opened. In January of 2003, just a month after Seisint hired Giuliani, Asher gave a presentation to Vice President Dick Cheney, FBI director Robert Mueller, Homeland Security director Tom Ridge, and Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) in the Roosevelt Room at the White House on MATRIX, according to documents obtained by the ACLU back in 2004.’
