The Democrat primary should be interesting.Some less-insane Dems want to 'avenge' Paul Wellstone by getting Coleman's seat back in blue hands, while the hard-core lefties just like hearing their venomous hatred spouted by a national figure.
I heard Edwards has hired Al Qaeda consultants yesterday.
"These guys have it right," Edwards is reported to have said. "They not only parrot our platform on the war, but also at least go into battle cheering on our new Democrat Congress."
"It's time we stopped pussyfooting around and just acknowledge their contribution to our recent 'surge' in power."
Edwards was being prepped by the beauty parlor staff for his next appearance and was not available for follow-up questions. His PR person did comment that at least he wasn't receiving any more anti-Christian flack in the MSM for his 'alleged' hiring/firing/hiring/firing of two rabid hate filled Bloggers for his staff's Internet face to the Public.

Well, he'll get plenty of face time on Letterman, no doubt, Dave will probably try to one up Leno with his getting Arnold on The Tonight Show to make announcements and such.
Although how many average people really know or care who Al Franken is? He started his stupid Al Franken decade schtick when SNL was going downhill and the other skits he did with his "partner" were the dumbest and least funny parts of the show back then.
But it's sad that a bomb-thrower like him would be taken seriously by anybody for public office.

Sen. Steven's took to the Senate floor yesterday, with a great speech as far as I am concerned, and going to speak again this morning...anyway, he was saying if Murtha or Gen. Pelosi thinks they can cut off funding they have another thing coming, the Pres. can use the Food and Forage Act anytime he needs, which if I understood him means he can take money from anywhere and use it for our military if need be during war...
I am going to look it up later, just wanted to throw that in there.

I googled a lot of things to try and get the speech up, there are different sites but I can find no video for this at all yet, including I did take the time to look on C-Span...cannot find it, they have the whole House debate speeches before yesterdays vote, you may want to try that, but I am very disappointed there isn't a link right along with some of the other video links they have up today on their front page, this was one of the most important in my opinion. (C-Span did replay it last night a couple of times that I know of on television, they may again this week-end) C-Span has swung to left anymore so much so that if you have been a watcher for over fifteen years or more, it is obvious...sad and maddening.
I may try other places later...but I am busy going back and forth with stacking wood for this abode I live in and typing here...LOL!
Where is that Global Warming?! Would it please hurry along!
....anyway, I tried to find a link...just wanted you to know.
You know, I flew 62 combat missions in the Korean War and 25 missions in the Vietnam War before being shot down.
I had the privilege of serving in the United States Air Force for 29 years, attending the prestigious National War College, and commanding two air bases, among other things.
I mention these stories because I view the debate on the floor not just as a U.S. Congressman elected to serve the good people of the Third District in Texas, but also through the lens of a life-long fighter pilot, student of war, a combat warrior, a leader of men, and a Prisoner of War.
Ironically, this week marks the anniversary that I started a new life - and my freedom from prison in Hanoi.
I spent nearly seven years as a Prisoner of War in Vietnam, more than half of that time in solitary confinement. I flew out of Hanoi on February 12, 1973 with other long-held Prisoners of War, weighing just 140 pounds. And tomorrow, 34 years ago, I had my homecoming to Texas, a truly unspeakable blessing of freedom.
While in solitary confinement, my captors kept me in leg stocks, like the pilgrims… for 72 days….
As you can imagine, they had to carry me out of the stocks because I couldn’t walk. The following day, they put me in leg irons… for 2 ½ years. That’s when you have a tight metal cuff around each ankle, with a foot-long bar connecting the legs.
I still have little feeling in my right arm and my right hand… and my body has never been the same since my nearly 2,500 days of captivity.
But I will never let my physical wounds hold me back.
Instead, I try to see the silver lining. I say that because in some way…I’m living a dream…a hope I had for the future. “From April 16, 1966 to February 12, 1973, I prayed that I would return home to the loving embrace of my wife, Shirley, and my three kids, Bob, Gini, and Beverly…
And my fellow POWs and I clung to the hope of when, not if, we returned home.
We would spend hours tapping on the adjoining cement walls about what we would do when we got home to America.
We pledged to quit griping about the way the government was running the war in Vietnam and do something about it…We decided that we would run for office and try to make America a better place for all.
So, little did I know back in my rat-infested 3 x 8 dark and filthy cell that 34 years after my departure from Hell on Earth…I would spend the anniversary of my release pleading for a House panel to back my measure to support and fully fund the troops in harm’s way….and that just days later I would be on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives surrounded by distinguished veterans urging Congress to support our troops to the hilt.
We POWs were still in Vietnam when Washington cut the funding for Vietnam. I know what it does to morale and mission success. Words can not fully describe the horrendous damage of the anti-American efforts against the war back home to the guys on the ground.
Our captors would blare nasty recordings over the loud speaker of Americans protesting back home…tales of Americans spitting on Vietnam veterans when they came home… and worse.
We must never, ever let that happen again.
The pain inflicted by your country’s indifference is tenfold that inflicted by your ruthless captors.
Our troops, and their families, want, need and deserve the full support of the country, and the Congress. Moms and dads watching the news need to know that the Congress will not leave their sons and daughters in harm’s way without support.
Since the President announced his new plan for Iraq last month, there has been steady progress. He changed the rules of engagement and removed political protections.
There are reports we wounded the number two of Al Qaeda and killed his deputy. Yes, Al Qaeda operates in Iraq. It’s alleged that top radical jihadist Al-Sadr has fled Iraq, maybe to Iran. And Iraq’s closed its borders with Iran and Syria. The President changed course and offered a new plan…we are making progress. We must seize the opportunity to move forward, not stifle future success.
Debating non-binding resolutions aimed at earning political points only destroys morale, stymies success, and emboldens the enemy.
The grim reality is that this House measure is the first step to cutting funding of the troops…Just ask John Murtha about his ’slow-bleed’ plan that hamstrings our troops in harm’s way.
Now it’s time to stand up for my friends who did not make it home, and those who fought and died in Iraq, so I can keep my promise that when we got home we would quit griping about the war and do something positive about it…and we must not allow this Congress to leave these troops like the Congress left us.
Today, let my body serve as a brutal reminder that we must not repeat the mistakes of the past…instead learn from them.
We must not cut funding for our troops. We must stick by them. We must support them all the way…To our troops we must remain…always faithful.
You mean there actually has to be a reason for a "Open Thread?" One would think just our desire to ramble on about various topics not included in other threads would be enough! ;-)
Just in from Variety.com (ht Drudge) Gore's movie profitable.
"At the same time, Hollywood loves box office, and Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," has become Paramount's single most profitable release. Suddenly Gore is a star again."
But an even more interesting point made in this story is the struggle in Hollywood between Osama (er..Obama) and Hillary. That was actually the story, not Gore's movie.
"One obvious area of disagreement, of course, involves personalities. Barack Obama's cameo appearances in town have created a fervent constituency, and Hollywood likes instant stars. Still, the Hillary backers have power and money and are diligently trying to disconnect her from the debacle in Iraq.
"The political star system has its built-in tensions, to be sure. Adam Venit, a honcho at Endeavor, hosted a reception for John Edwards at his agency the other day. Not present was Venit's partner, Ari Emanuel, who threw a hot Obama bash not long ago and whose brother, Rahm, may (or may not) remain in the Hillary camp."
But even more interesting, at least to me, are the comments about Israel in this article and how only 17% of American Jews identify with zionism anymore and how only 57% say caring about Israel is an important part of being Jewish.
These statistics were attributed to the 'Economist'.
So, there you have it. An American Jewish community that appears to be willing to sacrifice Israel on the alter of...

Gore's movie most profitable for Paramount...tracheostomy.
Your question is a good one. The article I cite is from Variety and therefore artistic in its rambling. It covers a lot of different things with no real central theme I can figure out.
Now, as to the claim that Gore's movie was the most profitable for Paramount Studios, I have no idea what this means. Profit is a word that the MSM doesn't seem to understand nor represent correctly by useage defination whenever it pops up. And Variety is an odd duck, so I have no idea what they mean when the article says this.
If Al Gore's movie cost $1.00 to make (and it was about that much I think) and it brings in $2.00 then it is very profitable indeed. Get my drift?
But if in terms of gross sales versus gross investment in movies for Paramount, Gore's was the most profitable relative to the rest, then I would suggest that if you own stock in Paramount Studios, well...
But I tend to think it must mean that it brought in a higher rate of return on investment than other movies. It surely cannot be gross sales of "Inconvenient" is keeping the studio's bottom line alive.
But, I simply do not know. I guess I don't really care. I threw this up because the headline in Drudge obscured the interesting parts of the story as well as highlighted this comment about profitable. It seems strange to me.
Oh well.

Anyone pay attention to liberals who scream media bias? I am not talking about Media Matters, they are a complete joke.
I am talking about the more serious ones like the ridiculously named "FAIR.org" among others.
I was listening to scAir America awhile back and they were talking about how the media was so conservatively biased and now "progressives" were represented on any news shows, except the "down-the-middle" Keith Olberman, that progressives were not watching the MSM.
So my thought was if Conservatives believe, rightly so, that the MSM is liberal and most don't watch it. On the other hand, liberals don't watch it either. Then who watches it?
Also, I was channel surfing and caught some lefty paranoia fest on C-Span with some guys who thought NPR was too Conservatively Biased and Corporate, they also mentioned getting PBS out of Corporate hands and into more "progressive" hands so that voices could be heard.
I was thinking there you have to be pretty far left to think NPR is Conservative.
Anyway from my background I never got caught up in the media bias thing until i became a Christian Conservative.
The media is conservativley biased (bong hit) ... down the middle Keith Olbermann (BONG HIT) ... NPR is too conservatively biased (B-O-N-G H-I-T). ExLib, it sounds like libs are partaking too much of certain illegal substances.
"A communist is someone who reads Marx. An anti-communist is someone who understands Marx." Ronald Reagan
If you gather all of those factors in the Lib brain, they might be able to figure their way out of a wet paper sack. As long as the sack was not harmed or offended.
Don't feel bad. None of us noticed the bias until we had an alternative, starting with Limbaugh in the late eighties and moving toward the internet and cable news. I guess you could equate it with a mother who only serves her child spinach and proclaims that it's the best tasting food in the world. Until the kid grows up, finds a dollar in the street and buys a candy bar, the illusion goes unchallenged.
You mean Spinich ISN'T the best tasting food in the world? Popeye was a LIAR!!!
Agagagagagagagagagag.....
It still begs the question, who is watching?
The MSM must be getting the 2/3 of our population that doesn't vote is my only guess.
- That and people from this site trolling for blantant examples of Media Bias.

Made it down there for the next-to-last launch of Columbia. I think it was in '02? Launch was just before dawn, an awesome night-time spectacle! A few minutes later, it was light enough to see the boosters fall back to Earth. The best of both worlds, daytime AND night-time launches! Had my 5 year-old son on my shoulders, and counted down the last 10 seconds together. A great family memory.
Then, we lost Columbia on her next mission... :'^(
Won't make this one, but glad we got to see that one. Probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us.
Transparency in monetary policy is a goal we should all support. I've often wondered why Congress so willingly has given up its prerogative over monetary policy. Astonishingly, Congress in essence has ceded total control over the value of our money to a secretive central bank.
Congress created the Federal Reserve, yet it had no constitutional authority to do so. ....

February 17, 2007 - 14:46 ET by exLibAnyone pay attention to liberals who scream media bias? I am not talking about Media Matters, they are a complete joke.
I am talking about the more serious ones like the ridiculously named "FAIR.org" among others.
I was listening to scAir America awhile back and they were talking about how the media was so conservatively biased and now "progressives" were represented on any news shows, except the "down-the-middle" Keith Olberman, that progressives were not watching the MSM.
So my thought was if Conservatives believe, rightly so, that the MSM is liberal and most don't watch it. On the other hand, liberals don't watch it either. Then who watches it?
Also, I was channel surfing and caught some lefty paranoia fest on C-Span with some guys who thought NPR was too Conservatively Biased and Corporate, they also mentioned getting PBS out of Corporate hands and into more "progressive" hands so that voices could be heard.
I was thinking there you have to be pretty far left to think NPR is Conservative.
Anyway from my background I never got caught up in the media bias thing until i became a Christian Conservative.
ANy thoughts?

If you gather all of those factors in the Lib brain, they might be able to figure their way out of a wet paper sack. As long as the sack was not harmed or offended.

February 17, 2007 - 16:54 ET by exLibI just thought it was funny and at the same time disturbing.
These people were serious and agitated. I wouldn't not want to be in a room with any of those people AND firearms at the same time.

February 17, 2007 - 15:13 ET by NeoConfirmedExlib,
Don't feel bad. None of us noticed the bias until we had an alternative, starting with Limbaugh in the late eighties and moving toward the internet and cable news. I guess you could equate it with a mother who only serves her child spinach and proclaims that it's the best tasting food in the world. Until the kid grows up, finds a dollar in the street and buys a candy bar, the illusion goes unchallenged.
It still begs the question
February 17, 2007 - 17:01 ET by exLibYou mean Spinich ISN'T the best tasting food in the world? Popeye was a LIAR!!!
Agagagagagagagagagag.....
It still begs the question, who is watching?
The MSM must be getting the 2/3 of our population that doesn't vote is my only guess.
- That and people from this site trolling for blantant examples of Media Bias.
Breach - the movie
February 17, 2007 - 16:20 ET by Eric TurnerJust saw the movie Breach about Robert Hanssen, the biggest spy in U.S. history.
This movie would be great for all intel types.

February 17, 2007 - 19:06 ET by BlondeOh, I am beyond bummed out.
I won't be here for the next launch of the Shuttle Atlantis.
I'd encourage everyone to try to make it to the space coast at least once to see this magnificent spectacle.
It is an amazing thing.

February 17, 2007 - 22:03 ET by Indiana JoeBlonde,
Made it down there for the next-to-last launch of Columbia. I think it was in '02? Launch was just before dawn, an awesome night-time spectacle! A few minutes later, it was light enough to see the boosters fall back to Earth. The best of both worlds, daytime AND night-time launches! Had my 5 year-old son on my shoulders, and counted down the last 10 seconds together. A great family memory.
Then, we lost Columbia on her next mission... :'^(
Won't make this one, but glad we got to see that one. Probably a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us.

"Monetary Policy and the State of the Economy"
Thursday, February 15, 2007
By U.S. Rep. Ron Paul
http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2007/cr021507.htm
Transparency in monetary policy is a goal we should all support. I've often wondered why Congress so willingly has given up its prerogative over monetary policy. Astonishingly, Congress in essence has ceded total control over the value of our money to a secretive central bank.
Congress created the Federal Reserve, yet it had no constitutional authority to do so. ....

A. 2 ways, the questions are actually good, and the top-secret-candidate is mentioned just as many times as Kucinich, which is more than any "journalists" on TV can apparently do...)
