Did Obama's Fast and Furious program supply Batman killer James Holmes with weapons?

It's a good question, don't you think?  Word is the Holmes case has been sealed.  What's to hide?  Something like James Holmes using weapons being tracked by the government to commit murder in Colorado?  Why the lack of news? 

Why are Miami advocates are pushing to relocate Haitian children to the U.S.?

Operation Pierre Pan May Start at Miami Hospitals

Miami advocates are pushing to relocate Haitian children to the U.S.

By TODD WRIGHT

Some of Haiti's most fragile - its children - have arrived at Miami area hospitals and for a few, Miami may become their new home.

So far, 23 patients from the earthquake have been treated at Jackson Memorial Hospital, with countless more likely to be airlifted from the island for treatment. Florida Sen. Bill Nelson has contacted all the children's hospitals in Florida and requested that they receive critically injured Haitian children in the aftermath of the earthquake.

Nelson on Friday said he also plans to introduce a "major Haitian relief bill."

But the injured won't likely be the only children coming to Florida.

This makes no sense at all. Why are they coming to America when we have some of the worst healthcare on the planet? Don't they know we're in the middle of reform right now? Maybe we can do this in a few years, but for now these children need to have access to the best healthcare on the planet.

Clearly, they should be sent to Canada, Cuba, England, or even France. Anywhere but the US where no one cares if the poor live or die.

Hill Briefed on Waterboarding in 2002
In Meetings, Spy Panels' Chiefs Did Not Protest, Officials Say

In September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA's overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.

Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said.

"The briefer was specifically asked if the methods were tough enough," said a U.S. official who witnessed the exchange.


Nazi Pussyoli, do you believe Americans are idiots? You are a hypocrite of the first degree. To paraphrase one of America's most enduring movies, Blazing Saddles:

"WE THE WHITE, GODFEARING CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES wish to express our extreme displeasure with your choice of criticizing President Bush for doing the same thing you have done. Please remove yourself from Congress immediately. The fact that you still stay there just goes to prove that you are the leading asshole in the country!"

Mission Accomplished!

Militant Group Is Out of Baghdad, U.S. Says

BAGHDAD, Nov. 7 — American forces have routed Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, the Iraqi militant network, from every neighborhood of Baghdad, a top American general said today, allowing American troops involved in the “surge” to depart as planned.

Maj. Gen. Joseph F. Fil Jr., commander of United States forces in Baghdad, also said that American troops had yet to clear some 13 percent of the city, including Sadr City and several other areas controlled by Shiite militias. But, he said, “there’s just no question” that violence had declined since a spike in June.

“Murder victims are down 80 percent from where they were at the peak,” and attacks involving improvised bombs are down 70 percent, he said.

General Fil attributed the decline to improvements in the Iraqi security forces, a cease-fire ordered by the Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr, the disruption of financing for insurgents, and, most significant, Iraqis’ rejection of “the rule of the gun.”


Congrats to the US and the victorious men and women in the US military! Now that we've killed most of the terrorists in Iraq, let's move on to Iran, etc. and kill some more there! (In other words, treat them exactly as they would treat us. I'm all for equality here, people!)

Clinton: Bring Your Mops, Vacuum Cleaners and Brushes

November 05, 2007 12:48 AM

ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Not only is Senator Clinton comfortable in the kitchen, she wants you to bring your mops, vacuum cleaners and brushes when she gets to the White House.

Clinton speaking in West Burlington, IA, told a story about how she is going to clean up the White House. Telling it, Clinton rested her hand on her head and said "oh my goodness I feel like we are going to get into the White House again and we are going to walk around and say where do we start to clean up this mess?" Clinton remembered an audience member who shouted once out when she told this story before - "that's what women are good at cleaning up the mess." Clinton said "bring your vacum cleaners bring your brushes bring your brooms bring your mops."

Mrs. Clinton, are you going to reinstall the "W's" back on White House computers? Are you going to pay for that lamp you broke? Are you going to throw out that pile of newspapers the Rose Law Firm billing records were under?

Tits on a Boar Hog

Strike set to silence talk shows

The Writers Guild of America has asked its 12,000 members to stop working and set up picket lines from Monday.

It wants more cash for work which goes on "new" media such as DVDs or online.

Shows hosted by stars such as Jay Leno, David Letterman and Jon Stewart are expected to stop almost immediately as they rely on a supply of topical jokes.

It was anticipated NBC would broadcast repeats of Leno's programme, The Tonight Show, plus Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Saturday Night Live from Monday if the walkout went ahead, the Hollywood Reporter said.

It also said old episodes of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report would be screened under contingency plans by the Comedy Central channel.

Two questions:

Why do talk shows have writers?

Why do talk shows need writers?

Just fuckin' talk, jagoffs!

Who the fuck didn't know that?

Even Harvard Finds The Media Biased

Thursday, November 01, 2007 4:30 PM PT

Journalism: The debate is over. A consensus has been reached. On global warming? No, on how Democrats are favored on television, radio and in the newspapers.

Just like so many reports before it, a joint survey by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and Harvard's Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy — hardly a bastion of conservative orthodoxy — found that in covering the current presidential race, the media are sympathetic to Democrats and hostile to Republicans.

Democrats are not only favored in the tone of the coverage. They get more coverage period. This is particularly evident on morning news shows, which "produced almost twice as many stories (51% to 27%) focused on Democratic candidates than on Republicans."

The most flagrant bias, however, was found in newspapers. In reviewing front-page coverage in 11 newspapers, the study found the tone positive in nearly six times as many stories about Democrats as it was negative.

I can't wait for the media to tell us the sky is blue. You know, just so we get the official word...
