New Catholic Times: Pope fears Bush is antichrist

"Coalition Gone Wild" video of sadism at its most perverse

"Coalition Gone Wild" video of sadism at its most perverse

The world is discovering that America and our mighty coalition of banana republics and torture manufacturing companies is not entirely sweetness and light.

New pictures and videos of humiliating, murdering, torturing, and raping Iraqis are soon to hit the street (unless the Eisner censorship machine has its way) and poopoo is about the hit the air conditioner, soda speak.

But guess what? The I CHing told me long ago that this administration, this usurpation of democracy, this aberration, is darkness rising, light going into hiding. But the light will reemerge, just as the darkness is exposed for what it is.

Is the darkness too pervasive, too systemic, too high up the chain?

I guess that is what we will find out soon enough.

I'd say we have had quite enough darkness, thank you!

Here comes the sun!

ABC "Always Being Censored" : Jeb tells Eisner to have Jennings shut it down

ABC "Always Being Censored" : Jeb tells Eisner to have Jennings shut it down

As soon as the questions get tough, ABC shuts down its airing of Rumsfeld confessional. Tax breaks? Jebbie working his magic again? Is ABC also losing credibility?

A statement attributed to Usama bin Ladin has offered rewards in gold for the killing of UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and US administrator in Iraq Paul Bremer.

...

The statement also offered one kg of gold to anyone who kills a US or British soldier, or civilian working for the US-led occupation, and 500 grams of gold for the killing of their allies such as Japanese or Italians.

The Cult that's Running the Country

t r u t h o u t - Joseph Wilson | The Cult that's Running the Country

Bush needs to fire the entire PNAC cabal whose bloodlust and greed got us into the mess we are now witnessing.

The Pope asks: "Is Bush the Anti-Christ?"

The Pope asks: "Is Bush the Anti-Christ?"

Whether Bush represents a dangerous right-wing ideologue who couples his political fanaticism with a neo-Christian blood cult (as I believe) or he is either the anti-Christ or heralds one, the Pope should know he has fought the good battle and has gained the respect and admiration of many non-Catholics around the world.

Sorry to piss on you! Now we'll get back to killing you.

Just days after getting caught torturing and demeaning Iraqis, the Bush Machine marches on Najaf...

On listening to Franken, NPR and Rush at the same time.
by Anonymoses

Gawd! I have just discovered a new way to make yourself insane.
Simply listen to Al Franken, NPR, and Rush Limbaugh at the same time.
Left, Center and Right.
Surefire results!

So far, NPR wins on the information scale. "The End of Oil" is the topic.
Al is frying Bush, and Rush is frying Kerry and liberals, sounding very nervous and apologetic, and promoting some book.

NPR has the distinct advantage of having no commercial breaks.
Al, at least, has interesting commercials.
Rush is the same old gutterhead.

NPR: We are fast running out of oil, and hydrogen is not a viable alternative.

Franken: Oy oy oy! Iran going nucular. Oy oy oy oy!
David Brock coming up. But when??

"The Facility"?

Rush is spewing prurience. A sick, sick bastard whose mind and heart is in the gutter.

NPR has now shifted to a book called "Why we Buy", speaking with the author.
"The Daily Howler" coming up on Franken! Yay!

Franken admits he got much of his info from the Howler...

I better focus...

What Christian Theologian Are You?


Erasmus



"It is the chiefest point of happiness that a man is willing to be what he is."

You are Desiderius Erasmus!

You have great love for others and will do just about anything to show it to them. You are tolerant
and avoid confrontations, so people generally are drawn to you. You are more quiet and reserved in
front of strangers, but around some people you open up. When things get tough, you like to meditate
alone. Unfortunately you often get things like "what a pansy," or "you're such a liberal."


What theologian are you?

We. Must. Learn.

t r u t h o u t - William Rivers Pitt | Tin Soldiers and We are Coming

There is language, and there is truth. The truth, for me, is this: Those who fell here on this day were patriots, and the wheel has come round. The truth, for me, is this: I blame George W. Bush for our wretched estate today. I lay the bodies of our dead, and all the Iraqi dead, at the doorstep of this White House. This war, conceived in darkness and doomed to fail from the beginning, has been lost. All we are doing now is stirring the ashes. We. Never. Learn.

Sex-Crime Concentration Camps? or Liberation Ashrams?

Sex-Crime Concentration Camps? or Liberation Ashrams?

As an average American, I am appalled by what I am seeing is happening during our vaunted "liberation" of Iraq. Liberation, schmiberation! Is this proof God is on our side?

In North Carolina, we have is called, a "prison-ashram": a place where detainees come out as better people.

This is more God-like.

Get with the program!

I am embarassed by the behavior of our "liberationists".

Bush Administration Booed by Sims for failure to read the news

The Bush Administration are being booed by Sims for failure to read the news, and for failure to be on top of the information chain. For those who don't know, Sims are virtual citizens of SimCity, and they give feedback in response to conditions and actions of their "mayor"...who is the person playing the game.

One thing one learns while playing this game, based on sound planning principles, is that one needs to read the newspapers, and listen to your council members. Gather information. There is a storm brewing in the horizon! You must prepare.

But many in the Bush Administration brag about not reading the newspapers.
Even their top brass fail to read crucial documents.

And we, the Sims, are beginning to boo.
Fellow Sims are losing their lives, and we are discovering that, were you more informed, it never should have happened.

There was no urgent threat, as you swore there was.
Shame!
Blood on your hands.
Bad Mayor!
Bad!

David Brock launches "Media Matters for America" A real-time blowback of Right Wing Lies

David Brock launches "Media Matters for America" A real-time blowback of Right Wing Lies

Letter from David Brock, Founder of Media Matters for America

Dear Friends,

Welcome to Media Matters for America, a new Web-based, not-for-profit progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media. Because a healthy democracy depends on public access to accurate and reliable information, Media Matters for America is dedicated to alerting news outlets and consumers to conservative misinformation -- wherever we find it, in every news cycle -- and to spurring progressive activism based on standards and accountability in media.

In the mid-1990s, as a conservative media insider, I saw firsthand (and participated in) the damage done to our democracy when conservative misinformation masquerades as journalism. In my book Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative (2002), I revealed how this misinformation -- deliberately bought and paid for by covert political forces -- enveloped the media, poisoned public discourse, and nearly toppled a president.
