Center for American Progress article in NYT
FROM THE ARTICLE:
Podesta laid out his plan for what he likes to call a ''think tank on steroids.'' Emulating those conservative institutions, he said, a message-oriented war room will send out a daily briefing to refute the positions and arguments of the right. An aggressive media department will book liberal thinkers on cable TV. There will be an ''edgy'' Web site and a policy shop to formulate strong positions on foreign and domestic issues. In addition, Podesta explained how he would recruit hundreds of fellows and scholars -- some in residence and others spread around the country -- to research and promote new progressive policy ideas. American Progress is slated to operate with a $10 million budget next year, raised from big donors like the financier George Soros.

George, Why have they been sentenced to die?
Even people on Death Row get the occasional commutation. There is no guarantee our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan will be so lucky. There isn't. Sorry. I wish it were different. I wish our leaders weren't such slaves to money that they are willing to hurl our citizens into a hellish death to up their bottom lines. Up their bottoms indeed!
Slavery was a bad institution. People were literally worked to death. Some were even killed indiscriminately. But if it turns out that Halliburton (or whomever) are little more than megaplantations...I cannot imagine it will sit well with people back home. And I feel sure it doesn't sit well with the people picking the oily cotton over there either. Not with targets on their backs.
And are we really just paying our military to be free workers for the Oil and Energy plantations? I imagine the foot-soldiers really love that idea, huh!
Well, here's one now. Let's see what he says on the matter:
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/opinion/6967466.htm
This looks like a modern-day crusade not to free an oppressed people or to rid the world of a demonic dictator relentless in his pursuit of conquest and domination but a crusade to control another nation's natural resource. At least to me, oil seems to be the reason for our presence here.
There is only one truth, and it is that Americans are dying. There are 10 to 14 attacks on our servicemen and -women daily in Iraq, and there appears to be no end in sight.
We soldiers have faced death in Iraq without reason or justification. How many more must die? How many more tears must be shed before Americans awake and demand the return of the men and women whose job it is to protect them rather than their leader's interest?
How much is this war like slavery? How much is it like what we did to Native-Americans? How much is it like Death Row? Is this really what America is about? Are we just displacing people and stealing their land and resources...then making them, and even our own soldiers...slaves for Oil plantations? Don't ask me? I do not know. But if it is drifting this way, I say it is wrong. Just as it was wrong before.
As Shakespeare hints: "All's well that ends well"...and indeed, it needn't end badly. So far the beginning was strong (but deceptive), and the midgame very weak and deadly.
We needn't end badly. No one's life needs end badly, unjustly, or for a mammoniacal cause benefitting only the masters. Johnson hesitated bringing home our soldiers and many died badly because of his misplaced mercy, or lack thereof. Let us hope for more mercy...and Godspeed.
Let our people go!
Bring them home.

Hey Nonny, Nonny!
People; hominids, often say to me, they say: "Hey Nonny...who are you talking to when you write your blog?" To which I usually respond: "Which blog"? (For you see, it really does make a difference.) But this usually confuses the querent (since I hang out at sanitoria, usually feeding them soylent green through the tynes of the fence) and they move on to greyer fissures, being fissure kings in the court of The Fisher of Rolando. Percevalis est.
Sometimes they, in their insanity, ask me (again) how I came to be named Nonny, to which I (again) respond by telling them that it is a nickname for Anonymoses, which generally sends them down the path of asking about other nicknames that have been foisted upon me over the millennia.
Names like Surreal McCoy, Yokel from the 8th Dimension, Mr. Wondrous, Adamant Steve, Clara Bowie (on my prettier days), Buckwheat, Annoythemost, Analmouse, (these two from detractors), Oliver Sutton, Lee Marvin, Abel Baruch, Melchizedek, Acey Bach, T. Wedanta, Swamiprob, Hugh Pada, Yaggers, Ryni, Daveithe, A.L.P. Coel, Luke Cool, The Number 13, Sharday, George Michael Jackson Brown, Prince Albert Gore Vidal Sassoon, Osama Ben Franklin Roosevelt Greer Garson Kanin Abel, All and Everything...you get the picture. I rarely tell them.
I'll have to get back to you on the rest of the story. My glass fingers do weary early.

President Pat Robertson: It Could Happen!
Conservative Republican Emeritus, Pat Robertson, is alienating Democrats AND Republicans these days, and we at Anonymoses offer our condolences for his now glowingly evident senescence. His most recent whopper is when he suggested nuking Foggy Bottom -- long associated with the Underground Railroad.
In related news, I heard that Jimmies Bakker and Swaggert have collaborated on a book they plan to call "Evangelists do more than Lay People". I know, I know...an old joke. But it does relate...
Anonymoses presents:
Tired of the same old blather? Tired of words like piffle, nexus and pathetic?
Tired of phrases like "There is no question but that ..."?
Let the Political Verbivore help you out of Clicheville. Let him or her show you some new words with which to browbeat your political opponents.
The PV will pop in here every so often and edify us with his or her verbal blepherospasms.
Why here he is now!
Not much time. Here eat these. Gotta go.
SCAREBABE - Relates to scaring babies. Used as a noun or adjective. EX: Bush's scarebabe policies toward the most primal foods of water and air caused Republican mothers to sit on their hands during the election. Tom Delay was such a scarebabe that he never campaigned among real people.
QUAKEBUTTOCK - A coward. EX: If you weren't such a quakebuttock, you wouldn't need a gun.
WHARFINGER - The owner of a wharf, but SOUNDS like Warfinger, which is not yet a word. OK I just deemed it a word. It means organic disgust at war, and all its rotten fruits.
WARFINGER - Organic disgust at war, and all its rotten fruits. EX: The only thing I shoot is the warfinger, and I do it in your direction.

Kelsey Grammer: A Bob Hope or a Nixon?
Kelsey Grammer has a golden opportunity. I wonder if he knows it. Now that Bob Hope has died, there will be great nostalgia for him. And no one looks like Bob Hope as much as Kelsey Grammer.
But Kelsey Grammer is thinking about getting into politics. The man in politics he most resembles is Nixon.
Granted, all three are Republicans. Hope's son-in-law was apparently a lobbyist for a military contractor. Hope is no Nixon, but Grammer may be thought of as one...should he forego this golden opportunity, and chose politics instead.
Kelsey is a smart man. Almost as smart as David Hyde Pierce. Maybe he will realize he can do more good as a funnyman than as just another Republican token.
Time will tell. But Kelsey...if you take my advice...remember where you heard it. I take donations.

Arnold Wins Recall! : California Verifiable Laughingstock
Lawsuits, impeachment & another recall to follow
A Big Victory for Enron, gropers, and ze gestapo
None Dare Call it Armageddon
None dare call it crusades,
None dare call it Armageddon...
Time for a little peace, love and truth-telling
I just watched a History Channel video on The Crusades, just to gain a little information on that period for a dollar...the rental charge on the video.
Turns out Damascus played an important role. I flash forward to the present news of Israel bombing Damascus and shake my head. Will this madness ever cease? Why can't we all just get along? Is God that deranged that he or she would not allow a sort of wise tolerance to enter into the souls of these endlessly warring peoples?
I googlesearch the matter and stumble upon a page which bears this quote:
The Prophet (pbuh) said: The place of assembly of the Muslims at the time of the Armageddon (al-Malhamah, the great war) will be in al-Ghutah near a city called Damascus, one of the best cities in Sham. (Abu-Dawud)
...this makes me feel no better. No better at all. Even a little anxious.
Bush's poll numbers are falling, badly, and when that happens...someone has to be kicked. Kicking dogs is illegal. Vicariousness is an intriguing concept, and one wonders if such things do not still go on among world leaders. We don't need no stinking religious war or religious victory. Blessed the peacemakers.
All people are created equal. It is the handful who act otherwise. And sadly, it is that handful that currently rule the world.
If mothers ruled the world, less children would die.
Women...rise. Gaia is calling her daughters to save her from the rapists and child-killers.
Sheesh! And to think Google caused all this!
Let us make a detour around Armageddon. Let our children live.
Winning is not everything. Possession is overrated. Cain means ownership.
Peace is disarming.
FADE TO BLACK

Bush: "It's very important that any action Israel take(s) should avoid escalation and creating higher tensions."
FAT CHANCE!
Blessed are the Peacemakers
Cursed are the Warmakers
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A55227-2003Oct7?language=printer
From the article:
"Israel will not be deterred from defending its citizens and will hit its enemies any place and in any way," Sharon said in a speech broadcast live from a military cemetery in Jerusalem.
"At the same time, we will not miss any opening and opportunity to reach an agreement with our neighbors and peace."
Peacemaker? Warmaker? Blessed or cursed?
And how will Bush respond when the answer comes?
Is Bush a Peacemaker or a Warmaker?
Faux News: Live and/or Learn
More on "Garbage In"
Fox News makes people patriotic but stupid...but what can be expected from one of the main mouthpieces of the lying liars? But, as Jim Lobe points out in his Alternet article, commercial television news, in general, is guilty of purveying untruths and misperceptions.
From the article:
"This is a dangerously revealing study," said Marvin Kalb, a former television correspondent and a senior fellow of the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
While Kalb said he had some reservations about the specificity of the questions directed at the respondents, he noted that, "People who have had a strong belief that there is an unholy alliance between politics and the press now have more evidence." Fox, in particular, has been accused of pursuing a chauvinistic agenda in its news coverage despite its motto, "We report, you decide."
MORE...
So...what are the media's obligation in debunking myths (should they ever decide to correct their ways)?

SNL : Why Bother?
I saw the very first Saturday Night Live. It was fresh. It was ballsy. It took on the establishment...and was funny. Very funny.
The players were even gifted. One could sense that the Second City proverb "Think at the top of your intelligence" was still very much alive and well.
Those days have long passed. Thank God for the wondrous physical comedian and Renaissance Man, Jack Black, who was the bright spot of the evening. Even Smigel, always the best part of the show, seemed to have lost his nerve. Whither the edge? Why the middling intelligence?
Maybe it will get better in the second half -- it is still on, and currently there is, mercifully, a commercial break.
I'll return when it's over and see if it gets any better. I'm not holding my breath...
Well, the News segment pulled it out. But, as others have noted, it is still not as scintillant as Jon Stewart at The Daily Show.
We are glad to see Tracy Morgan go, and hope that Horatio Sans works a little harder this year. He is no John Belushi, no matter how hard he tries to look like him. Chris Parnell, will, I predict, emerge as the leading light of the new pack. I just hope that they quit skirting political issues, and, instead, take on the madness...left and right. Clinton was fair game. Bush should be as well. When did Lorne Michaels become so pussilanimous anyway? Is he overpaid or something?
If they don't change...this current pack may well preside over the demise of SNL. It's time may alas have come. We hope not. But there are alternatives now, and they are, at present, much better than the current SNL...so far.

Beck for President
Beck for President
For Peace and Justice
The Campaign of Sanderson Beck:
Democrat for President of the United States
FROM THE WEBSITE:
Why I Am Running for President
I am deeply concerned that the United States is being led in the wrong direction by George W. Bush and reactionary Democrats. I intend to educate people by explaining how we can lead the world into a golden age of peace, justice, and prosperity, not just for US but for everyone in the world. I aim to apply the wise teachings of the Christ, Buddha, Socrates, Lao-zi, Confucius, and other sages to politics to make the world a better place. I hope to awaken "Christians" who have been led astray by hypocrites supporting wars and the uncharitable policies of right-wing politicians that are contrary to what Jesus taught.
I was born on March 5, 1947 in Los Angeles, and I was a Conscientious Objector during the Vietnam War. I have taught more than forty different college courses, written many books, and dedicated my life to working for world peace. I will be honest, and I admit that my policies are closer to Greens than Democrats. I am offering the Democratic Party progressive policies, and I hope to be included in the Democratic debates during the primaries. Also, by running as a Democrat I will not hurt the Democratic nominee who goes against the Republican in the final 2004 election.
Our great country has become an oppressive empire to serve the greed of those with power. Now that the Cold War is over, we can eliminate all weapons of mass destruction and reduce all military forces in the world. Nonviolent methods and international law can resolve conflicts and protect human rights. We can reduce terrorism by not terrorizing the world with a bullying foreign policy. I believe the United States of America can lead the way to a world that is more democratic, free, fair, peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable if we act intelligently and responsibly with our great power and wealth. I appeal to the best in people so that we may treat others as we would be wish to be treated. I hope you will join me in this effort to reform our government.
A Vote for Arnold is a Vote for Enron
Read Greg Palast on the Arnold/Enron Connection
http://gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=283&row=0
EXCERPT:
It's not what Arnold Schwarzenegger did to the girls a decade back that should raise an eyebrow. According to a series of memoranda our office obtained today, it's his dalliance with the boys in a hotel room just two years ago that's the real scandal.
The wannabe governor has yet to deny that on May 17, 2001, at the Peninsula Hotel in Los Angeles, he had consensual political intercourse with Enron chieftain Kenneth Lay. Also frolicking with Arnold and Ken was convicted stock swindler Mike Milken.
Now, thirty-four pages of internal Enron memoranda have just come through this reporter's fax machine tell all about the tryst between Maria's husband and the corporate con men. It turns out that Schwarzenegger knowingly joined the hush-hush encounter as part of a campaign to sabotage a Davis-Bustamante plan to make Enron and other power pirates then ravaging California pay back the $9 billion in illicit profits they carried off.
Here's the story Arnold doesn't want you to hear. The biggest single threat to Ken Lay and the electricity lords is a private lawsuit filed last year under California's unique Civil Code provision 17200, the "Unfair Business Practices Act." This litigation, heading to trial now in Los Angeles, would make the power companies return the $9 billion they filched from California electricity and gas customers.

Total Recoil: Arnold Purges Jews from the Republican Party
Granted. Arnold swears he has changed his ways, and no longer thinks Hitler was such a great man, after all. Good. Welcome aboard. But what possessed him to hold such views in the first place? Was it because his father was a Nazi, and he was just honoring his memory and work by going along, making happy talk? And what about his high opinions of Kurt Waldheim? Sure, he has nice pecs and all, but one needs to draw the line sometimes. And Arnold hasn't. Not entirely. But don't expect me to step in the ring with him. He looks like one of those Reifenstahlian specimens manufactured to look good while doing pernicious and opprobrious deeds. I do not. I look like a swan. Should never have slammed on brakes.
But the Republicans in California might do well by a little Brakhage, I mean brakage. Is it worth winning California if it means alienating the handful of Jews who have attempted to find a home in the monoculture known as the GOP?
As someone who has disdained and lamented the very existence of Adolph Hitler since around the age of 6 or 7, when I saw a library book on his life and "work". I can still remember the images to this day. Someone had written little baloons over the pictures, with words written in. On one, there was a picture of a devastated city, and someone had written in the words: "Little bomb goes boom." Strange how I found that amusing at the time. Silly words, really. Many a better caption can be concocted by any dog or undergraduate.
Alas, I digress...
Anyway, I should think the Republicans might think twice before sacrificing hard-won gains. You win, you lose.
I personally welcome the homecoming.

Rush and Pharmaceuticals or How Rush Listens to God
People have landed at my blog, thinking that Oxytocin is Oxycontin, or vice versa. They are not the same thing. Oxycontin , often called "heroin in a pill" or "Hillbilly Heroin", is apparently a highly addictive mind-altering drug, while Oxytocin is a blog. Granted, it is also a drug, a hormone, the love hormone, and not the one Mr. Limbaugh is accused of taking.
Is it true that Rush was taking Oxycontin? How should I know? I'm not his maid. My own feeling is that he is ill and needs that which money can't buy.
I feel sorry for him, which is strange, since I normally feel my blood pressure rise with his every utterance.
My wish is that he realize his mortality and vulnerability, and fling off the shackles that constrain him and pay him. Suddenly stricken by an inability to think beneath the top of his intelligence, he apologized for all which he knows was misleading, and tells what is called the truth.
Then he will be healed.
Who knows?
Now here's an interesting tidbit. Rush apparently talked up OxyContin on his show back in 2001.
FROM THE WEBSITE:
OxyContin can be mailed to you. The prescription has to be hand-delivered by the patient or doctor's office to the pharmacy.
Rush Limbaugh (talk radio) talked about OxyContin at length today--maybe an hour of his 3-hour show. The talk was mostly about the abusers of the drug, and that it was a shame that the abuse affected people who really need it.

General Clark urges ABC to fire lying racist Limbaugh
General Clark urges ABC to fire lying racist Limbaugh
Legendary patriot and hero, General Wesley Clark, has called for the ouster of drop-out and bigot, Rush Limbaugh, for espousing his racist views on ABC's ESPN. Limbaugh is also fat and overpaid for a college dropout and racist. Most racist dropouts wind up as a guest on Jerry Springer, and are paid one hundred dollars. Rush's boss should reconsider his societal worth and make appropriate adjustments.
