We've Moved

2008-07-26T04:23:00.002-04:00

Actually, it's like a vacation where you go somewhere and maybe decide to live there or now.

Starting today, new posts will be here.

Consider it like a beta of a new version. If I'm happy, I'll move this blog over to the new site....

A Class Act: President McCain

2008-07-25T06:32:00.002-04:00

God, he makes Beloved Leader look good....

War Room:

"I would rather speak at a rally or a political gathering anyplace outside of the country after I am president of the United States," McCain said during the interview, which will air Thursday night. "But that's a judgment that Sen. Obama and the American people will make."

Considering those three supposedly undercovered trips McCain went on, think there might be some hypocrisy at work? You bet. As NBC's Mark Murray pointed out, "On June 20, McCain himself gave a speech in Canada -- to the Economic Club of Canada -- in which he applauded NAFTA's successes. An implicit message behind that speech was that Obama had been critical of the trade accord. Also, McCain's trip to Canada was paid for by the campaign."

Our Leaders' Success In Corrupting America

2008-07-25T05:35:00.000-04:00

One of the worst outbreaks of foodborne illness in the U.S. is teaching the food industry the truth of the adage, "Be careful what you wish for because you might get it."

The industry pressured the Bush administration years ago to limit the paperwork companies would have to keep to help U.S. health investigators quickly trace produce that sickens consumers, according to interviews and government reports reviewed by The Associated Press.

The White House also killed a plan to require the industry to maintain electronic tracking records that could be reviewed easily during a crisis to search for an outbreak's source. Companies complained the proposals were too burdensome and costly, and warned they could disrupt the availability of consumers' favorite foods.

The Presidentialness Of President McCain; He Proves He Will Win

2008-07-24T07:14:00.003-04:00

This is the odious crap the wingnuts love. This is the piece of unfit crap the media whores love.

This is a clear choice that the American people have. I had the courage and the judgment to say I would rather lose a political campaign than lose a war. It seems to me that Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign.
This is the ninth presidential campaign I've covered. I can't remember a more scurrilous statement by a major party candidate. It smacks of desperation. It renews questions about whether McCain has the right temperament for the presidency. How sad.

Iraq Vets Show Their Love For President McCain And His Support For The Unending War

2008-07-24T06:10:00.003-04:00

In his defense, the dope was trying to say he sees or supports troops being stationed in Iraq forever like in South Korea -- not eternal combat. But since he's too dumb or lazy or uncaring to clarify an obvious yet misunderstood point, no reason for me to do it for him.

With that out of the way, let's beat him up -- or, rather, let a couple of vets do it.

What Doesn't President McCain Not Know

2008-07-23T07:14:00.002-04:00

Not only does his plan for Iraq not hold water, as it were, but his rationale doesn't even rise to the level of bogus.

My God, he may well be even dumber than Beloved Leader. I know that intelligence scares the Christofascist base but still, this is scary....

They're Sick, Sick, Sick

2008-07-23T06:04:00.000-04:00

War Room:

...Lisa Schiffren, writing at the Corner, one of the National Review's blogs. While complaining about the alleged media bias in favor of Barack Obama, she mentioned Obama's plan to accept the Democratic presidential nomination in a stadium that seats 75,000, then wrote, "To me, this is evocative of something Leni Riefenstahl might have documented." Leni Riefenstahl, of course, directed "Triumph of the Will," the Nazi propaganda film that documented a party rally at which Adolf Hitler spoke.

Schiffren, a former speechwriter for Dan Quayle (she wrote the speech in which he attacked "Murphy Brown"), has made similar comments before. In a February post, she suggested that Obama's parents may have been communists, given their biracial union.

Are The Iraqis Sick Of Our Occupation?

2008-07-23T06:00:00.002-04:00

So maybe the Iraqi leadership, such as it is, really wants O. At the least, he'd probably enable them to amp up native corruption at the expense of Our Leaders' corruption. And who knows, maybe thet have a scintilla of patriotism and want a little, you know, independence.

War Room says Maliki said what Der Spiegel claims he said -- nothing lost in translation:

It was the shot heard 'round the world: in an interview with German magazine Der Spiegel, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said of U.S. troop withdrawal from his country, "U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes."

Almost immediately, the Iraqi and U.S. governments made half-hearted attempts to walk Maliki's statement back. And supporters of the war have claimed that Maliki's words were mistranslated. But the Columbia Journalism Review has a bit of detail that should quiet such claims, at least to the extent that they haven't been quieted by events since Maliki's statement that have made clear he meant what he said.

CJR's Clint Hendler quotes the magazine's Mathias Müller von Blumencron as saying, "We have a policy at Der Spiegel when we do a question and answer session to provide a transcript to our counterparts in case they want to have a minor thing changed." In this case, Hendler reports, the magazine -- which has a content-sharing agreement with Salon -- verified that Maliki's aides had received the transcript. They reported no complaints.

Insight From Beloved Leader??

2008-07-23T05:15:00.000-04:00

Maybe he's not quite as stupid as he allows himself to be perceived (parse that!). Certainly, he appears more knowledgeable than President McCain....

Again, we report, you decide.

But let's say he's not as stupid as we'all thought. He ain't all that much smarter, I think, and it's far too late, the damage has been done, and there's no apparent awareness of the harm his administration, under his leadership, such as it is, has done.

And where's Dick these days?
