zed?

Hola, fellow insomniac!

I wrote part of this piece of music about that event, that picture. It was the morning the levies were punctured in NOLA….

driveby

nice mask dood – just keep it away from kids please

Bush said in prepared remarks

Has he ever had any thing else to say?

I justed printed out the largest McCain hug picture I could find for a co-worker who likes McCain.

The Hug

I plan to get LOTS of mileage out of this photo.

I like the one I saw the other night, where his hand was a little lower…

Good shit, ET.

Blushing. and writing…..

1,744 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Edward Teller and the early mornin’ Firepup Freedom Fioghters:

I’m at work and can’t access sound links, I really wanna hear this stuff…bless yer heart and keep the truth alive with music.

KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMMUNITION, THE BASTARDS ARE READY TA STEAL ANOTHER ONE!!

did ya’ll see this on the news ticker?

Bush Signals Support for McCain
President Bush plans to give an implicit endorsement of onetime rival John McCain’s conservative bona fides tomorrow as the Arizona senator seeks to consolidate the party behind his candidacy.

In a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in the morning, Bush plans to say that the nominee of the party will be a strong conservative, according to excerpts released by the White House tonight.

“We have had good debates and soon we will have a nominee who will carry the conservative banner into this election and beyond,” Bush says in the excerpts. “The stakes in November are high. Prosperity and peace are in the balance. So with confidence in our vision and faith in our values, let us go forward, fight for victory and keep the White House in 2008.”

NORSKE!!!

stretch your ears

heh….

the kiss of death?

indeed

Hi Norske. Can you bookmark it and send it home to listen to later? If you can, you’ll be glad you did.

Interesting that Mr. Born-again isn’t endorsing Huckabee.

So much for listening to a “higher father”.

Could we say FOS?

Edward, I’m really enjoying your music. I have Copper Riverrun going in the background now. And I’ve saved your link.

Every day in every way Bush needs to be hung like the albatross he is around McCain’s neck. He’s Bush’s third term. And all the little down ballot Republicans are yes men or handmaidens. Enough of the Republican version of peace or prosperity.

He’s Bush’s third term.

There’s a bumper sticker in there. Someone should slap one on McCain’s forehead.

I have this vision of a political cartoon depicting George Bush standing on the White House lawn in huge concrete block shaped boots, one marked “Iraq” and the other marked “Afganistan.” McCain, Clinton, and Obama are looking on as the President asks them, “Ready to walk in my shoes?”

It would be even better if it said, “Only McCain is ready to walk in my shoes”

Hi marshen. If you can draw, you have a future as a political cartoonist. But Bush would need a few more feet for all of his foul shoes.

That works, too!

McCain scares the crap out of me.

Must. Kneecap. Old. Man.

Typing that makes me feel strangely GOP… …know what I mean?

G’nite insomniacs, I’m going to go break in my new feather pillows…

Do check out EdwardTellers link at #3, his music is great!

I’m not a cartoonist, but if somebody else could draw it up it might be fun to let everyone take a shot at captioning it. I bet we would get a lot of creative captions for it.

gnight wangdangdoodle!

Juan Cole agrees with you.
347!

Morning all…

Now to read the post and thread…My scheduled has changed and will probalby remain the same for the next 8 months or so… I got up at 3 AM CT…

The music is great, ET! I’m listening to it now … oh my!!

I have to say it is killin me to have to wait until morning to listen to the music everyone is lovin!

“We have had good debates and soon we will have a nominee who will carry the conservative banner into this election and beyond,” Bush said in prepared remarks of a speech he was to give Friday to the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Has Chimpy forgotten how and with what venom McCain shat all over his tax-cut proposals? We all know he’s deluded. Now he simply just might be suffering from memory loss…

Hey Norske! How’re things in St-Croix Valley this morn? It’s 20 F in Minneapolis right now–snow expected later on…

blushing again

Expect this memory loss to spread.

See John Cole’s take.

Later the same day, he gave a big birthday cake to John McCain in Arizona.

I guess he’s trying to give him another cake now…laced with arsenic…

BTW, ET:

Great piece!

darn near done blushing, pups

Say, lest we drive ET away, here’s a lesson for us all in what the problem has been. You might think that as one of the Keating 5 Senators, McCain would be vulnerable as we face the old S&L scandal’s enormous offspring.

Well, think again. And consider that one thing that might have set the stage for the beatification of St. McCain was his co-sponsorship, in the wake of his Keating 5-ness, of The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, or the McCain-Feingold Act.

So, leaving out a few dozen cantos of some yet-unwritten account of Inferno, one salutary effect of the McCain ascendency in the minds of some is that the co-ordinating word “Bipartisan” is now on display daily, where no amblyopic can lose track of it, while the man himself serves as reminder of the content of one’s own sins.

Sooner or later someone is going to have to cut through all of this nonsense regardless of the cost, or else circumstance will do it for us.

1,744 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen Biodunm and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:

Yo there Biodun…things pretty much the same out here in the toolies, I hope we get some snow but I ain’t countin’ on it.

KEEP THE FAITH AND DON’T LET A FASCIST DATE YER DAUGHTER!!

Good morning, pups. It’s Bobo and Krugman today. Bobo has “Questions for Dr. Retail,” and wonders why Democratic votes broke so starkly along educational lines. It’s typical Bobo… Mr. Krugman says it’s still not a certainty that we’re headed into recession, but the odds are growing greater.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got waffles for us this morning. Here in Savannah we’re rather shaken by a huge sugar refinery explosion that happened last night. There are still 6 people unaccounted for… Have a good Friday.

Mornin knuckleheads

JoeScar, on MSNBC, phones in to say that every Republican in D.C. has been telling him privately, but won’t ever say in public, that the Repub’s are expecting to be blown out “in a landslide of epic proportions” this November.

NYT also

The American military’s difficulty in securing Iraq has led to much soul-searching within the armed forces on how to prepare for future conflicts. Col. H. R. McMaster of the Army, who commanded the successful effort in 2005 to secure the northern Iraqi town of Tal Afar, asserts in a new article that an exaggerated faith in military technology and a corresponding undervaluation of political and military measures to secure the peace undermined American efforts in Iraq.

“Self-delusion about the character of future conflict weakened U.S. efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq,” he wrote in Survival, a journal published by the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

Colonel McMaster added in the article that the Army “is finding it difficult to cut completely loose from years of wrongheaded thinking,” noting that assumptions that high-technology systems will provide the American military with “dominant knowledge” of the battlefield has formed much of the justification for the Army program to build the Future Combat System.

heh-heh. David Shuster openly mocking Romney’s buh-bye speech yesterday where he said that he out to get out so that his campaign wouldn’t (by enabling a Democrat win) be a part of “surrendering to terror” .

hopin’ to see this at C&L later…

Exactly what they deserve.

I was wondering what it was that was happening to me the last seven years and now I know. Peace and prosperity. I am embarrassed that I did not know it before, all this time I have been cursing the bastards in the WH and now I find that I am covered with flowers and rich as croesus. I love this parallel universe.

Thanks for the music ET. Wonderful

Bieng a BOT is hard sometimes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSk9toKfrwo

Great photo-montage!

I’m printing that one out now.

Dear Marion -

I’ve been worried about you ever since reading the headlines; so thankful to see you’re OK! Is there any speculation as to cause yet?

They think it was caused by sugar dust and a spark of static electricity, but that’s all speculation at this point.

PS: BEING not a bot, sometimes I misspell.

Interesting, that comment from scar. Turned on MSNBC, heard his voice and promptly hit the clicker.

Raven @ 44 -

Wonder if that article is tied to something I heard a military person say on the idjit box yesterday about worrying about dependence on technology and wondering the military should go back to more reliance on older methods. Not a very good synopsis but it made me think of smoke signals and Morse code.

Classic Boosh at CPAC:

“I appreciate the fact that you invited the candidates here to speak with you. These are good honorable people.”

“And I appreciate the fact that you invited Vice-president Cheney here.”

Nice phrasing, there, Georgie. Paging Dr. Freud…

Anyone watching Bush on MSNBC? No sound, they’re talking to Russert, but they’re showing Bush at CPAC. He’s been rocking back and forth waiting for his intro and even while he’s speaking. Had one facial tic where he seemed to sniff. He doesn’t look well. He barely aged during his first 6yrs, but he’s aging now.

heh

What’s going on with JoeScar? It was said that he walked off a few days ago. Is it just that he’s ‘on assignment’ somewhere or is there more to it?

Bush also said something like: “Cheney, the best veep in US history. Mother may disagree with that. Don’t tell her, but my opinion still counts.” (barf)

He’s been on the phone.

may I add:

:0===|

I was the one who raised the question b/c of something that was said in a diary on another blog (can’t remember where); didn’t actually see it myself. Was hoping someone at the Lake might have been watching to confirm or deny but no luck.

Did you hear the latest speculation from Matthews? The repubs might not mind losing this year cuz the next 4yrs are going to be such a mess that the repubs may then be able to score big in 2012.

I saw the diary . It was at DKos. Your comment made me go look for it. Haven’t seen anything since.

Back to this diary. For once I agree with Bush. Peace and prosperity are at stake.

If the Repugs want to run on a platform of Peace and Prosperity, it’s fine by me. My bet is that 50% + 1 of Americans will appreciate the irony.

Ask John about Jack: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/5/14/13220/6198

That’s because the war problems, the economic problems, global warming… …it’s all the Dems fault!

Did you see this: Delay was listing the reasons the repubs don’t like McCain. One of the reasons was that McCain ‘believes in’ Global Warming. Even the terminology is bizarre. Not ‘acknowledges’ but ‘believes in’. Like it’s some voodoo magic.

I’m off to prepare for work. See all later.

Scarecrow upstairs…

People were asking after you c. midnite. It was a gesture of pure friendship at a time of rather testy exchanges inter and intra-blog. So with emotions running so high, the pups showed that first and foremost after the constitution and the rule of law, they care about eachother. it was neat.
Jane would want me to say Blue America, but for me people comes before anti party.

Anyway , did you hear it?

Does anyone here remember that classic Onion headline, “Our National Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity Over at Last” that ran after Bush was elected? If I had the computer expertise I would provide the link

“prosperity and peace”

Prosperity? Oh, yes, the rich are more prosperous under Republican table-tipping than ever. Peace? We’re involved in not one but two wars with no end in sight and McCain doesn’t care if America finally gets its own Hundred Years War.

The reality-distorting propaganda just never stops coming from these criminal bastards.

I am not sure if the repubs have had the same amount of primaries as the dems, but with 7million plus voting in the dem primary and only 2.5million (or close to) voting in the repub primary, there is little question in my mind which party will be the next POTUS. I am more concerned about congress, with a 22% approval; that could go repub with enough salesmanship on the repub side or general disapproval of dem leadership.

Bom dia! I hope all are well today and glad to see that Marion is okay. Is there any update as to the missing there? I’m off to do a bit of research and do a bit of phone banking today. Have a great day!

Did I listen to the right one Variations on a theme? I like it, floats my boat.
Music is always the best.
