so…

True to my principles, I avoid the living room and the T.V. I’m not watching a politicized version of 911. Not me. Why, ABC might call doing a viewer poll [never happened]. I want to report not watching ABC. My wife, on the other hand, said, "I think I’ll watch it." Because our log cabin […]

the Path to 911 video clips…

From the NZ broadcast!! The Path to 911 distortions, lies, slanders and falsehoods. xynz from New Zealand has this up on DailyKos where the Path to 911 has already been shown. In case you’ve been wondering what all the flack over the Path to 911 is about, here are 9 video clips from the piece: […]

more preciousness…

Bin Laden Still Alive Washington Post On the videotape obtained by the CIA, bin Laden is seen confidently instructing his party how to dig holes in the ground to lie in undetected at night. A bomb dropped by a U.S. aircraft can be seen exploding in the distance. "We were there last night," bin Laden […]

isn’t this just precious…

In a Pivotal Year, GOP Plans to Get Personal Millions to Go to Digging Up Dirt on Democrats Republicans are planning to spend the vast majority of their sizable financial war chest over the final 60 days of the campaign attacking Democratic House and Senate candidates over personal issues and local controversies, GOP officials said.

the Director of Revenge?

Matt Stoller at MyDD has unearthed a real piece of information about the "Great Diversion," the Path to 911. It seems that one Zenia Mucha, Executive VP of Corporate Communications for Disney Corporation, isn’t altogether apolitical: Mickey Mouse’s Karl Rove, Zenia Mucha Governor George Pataki insists he’s not thinking about the 2008 presidential race, but […]

waning powers?

Recently, we heard that Rove’s influence was fading [see short…]. Today, we hear the same thing about Cheney [Cheney’s Power No Longer Goes Unquestioned]. After Rumsfeld’s disasterous speech last week, Rummy’s surely not in charge either [and then there’s this]. Who does that leave us with to run the show? Surely not George Bush. Frankly, […]

ABC and Disney are going to do it…

Looks like ABC and Disney are going ahead with the Path to 911. I guess there’s enough money invested in the movie, and enough political force behind it to make it just too tempting to back down now. And George Bush is going to be a pop-up in the middle of it with his 911 […]

do ‘dirty tricks’ work?

I suppose the answer is "yes." They work in the sense that the dirty tricksters get people elected. But, in the long run, they don’t work. They essentially define the future behavior of the elected. Certainly, Richard Nixon stands as such a person. In his case, the election of 1972 was a paridigm for dirty […]

rovian [adjective]

Karl Rove   In the fall of 1970, Rove used a false identity to enter the campaign office of Democrat Alan J. Dixon, who was running for Illinois State Treasurer, and stole 1000 sheets of paper with campaign letterhead. Rove then printed fake campaign rally fliers promising "free beer, free food, girls and a good […]

the tradition continues…

Edwin Muskie   John McCain This perception was formed despite the presence of allegations of negative campaigning on both sides including a push polling campaign, where phone calls were made to conservative Republican voters in the Deep South, allegedly to ask them whether they would support McCain if he had an illegitimate interracial daughter with […]
