"President Bush chose to postpone, until after
the holidays, his long-awaited speech on Iraq.
Why would anyone assume that anything Bush
says is going to (a) break new strategic ground,
or (b) quell the sectarian chaos, or (c) lodge
in the American memory. He has delivered dozens
of speeches on Iraq over the past few years,
most of them instantly forgotten, with nary a phrase
that can be invoked years from now as testaments
to either his eloquence or prescience."
--Dick Polman, Link
I think Bush is going to "think" about things and then decide to "stay
the course" with more troops.
Somebody needs to tell the Little Dictator that the real world doesn't
change when he commands it.

'Surge'
is another mistake
by W. Patrick Lang and Ray McGovern
Excerpt:
Despite the clear message from voters and the
Iraq Study Group, Bush appears headed
for an escalation of the Iraq War, rather than
a deescalation.
Official Washington, including Senate Democrats,
also seem to have missed the role that Robert Gates
was likely to play, as Bush's helper in selling
the escalation, not -- as Democrats had hoped -- as
implementer of the disengagement favored by the
Iraq Study Group and most Americans.
In this guest essay, two former U.S. intelligence
analysts -- W. Patrick Lang and Ray McGovern
-- describe how the Bush-Gates team manufactured
the consent of skeptical U.S. generals:

"Iraq is worth the investment, because once
it emerges as a stabilizing factor you will
have a very different kind of Middle
East. I know a lot has been sacrificed for Iraq,
a lot has been invested in Iraq."
--Condi, who still seems to think Iraq caused 9-11,
Link
Iraq was plenty stable on 9-11-01, and what good was that to us?
Are we going to sacrifice 3,000 soldiers to every country that
didn't attack us?

Clinton, Obama Clearing The Field
Excerpt:
Hillary and Obama, trading on star power, the
capacity to raise money with relative ease and an ability
to dominate media attention, are rewriting the
2008 Democratic campaign, driving potential rivals out
and casting a huge shadow over all others who
may run.
What once shaped up as a sizable field of Democratic
candidates is now shrinking. Evan Bayh (Who?)
dropped out Dec. 16, a decision that surprised
only the greenest of observers, after he witnessed Obama's
drawing power in New Hampshire. As Bayh drew
small crowds on his seventh trip to the Granite State,
Obama enjoyed sold-out audiences and saturation
coverage on his first.
Bayh became the third Democrat to quit. Mark Warner
and Russ Feingold dropped out earlier.
All chose not to run for their own reasons, but
the almost-certain loss to a girl weighed heavily.
Clinton and Obama are eclipsing Democratic heavyweights
that include Kerry, John Edwards
Biden the Rubber stamp, Chris Dodd, Bill Richardson
and Tom Vilsack who lost everything
the night he appeared on The
Daily Show and was mocked by, Jon Stewart.

Subject: Cowboy Everson Walls
Bart,
Good to see a mention of Everson Walls on your
site, especially considering your Cowboy-envy.
But this isn't the first case I know of Everson
Walls going out of his way to show special kindness.
Back when he was at the top of his game &
running back all those interceptions, my grandmother
(a huge Cowboys fan) was dying of congestive
heart failure in a Dallas hospital. Somehow, thru the
hospital staff, Mr. Walls heard about her and
came and spent some time visiting with her in her room.
He didn't bring a camera crew, there was never
any mention of it in any papers, he just came alone
and spent a couple of hours giving a dying old
lady the thrill of her life. As far as I know no one ever
heard of this outside of my family and the hospital
staff, he didn't do it for publicity or image building.
So be sure to do that shot of Chinaco, few people
deserve it more.
Thanx, and keep the hammer swinging

TIME is
such a whore
by Frank Rich
Excerpt:
TIME's choice for 2006 Person of the Year - "You"
- was a bountiful gift of mirth to America,
second only to the Trump-Rosie bout as a comic
kickoff to the holiday season. Their cover stunt,
a computer screen of Mylar reflecting the reader's
own image, was so hokey that Jon Stewart and
Stephen Colbert merely had to display it on camera
to score laughs. The desperation of Time to
appear relevant and hip was embarrassing in its
nakedness.
If "you" have a blog, you have more credibility than TIME Whore Magazine.

Subject: surging to Iran
Each day we're being prepared for the fiasco of wars to come.
A "test of the draft system" coupled with " a
show of force" (4 carrier groups with
minesweepers and anti-submarine craft) and now
a surge of 30, 50, or 70,000 troops,
depending on whose mouth is moving at the time,
and we're expected to believe this is
to shore up the Iraq Debacle.
The obvious goal is to start a third failed war.
It's a long road to Tehran.
It may well prove be a one way street.

No, my name is Bart, but thanks.
Are you and your readers morons.
If that's a question, it needs one of these: ?
Hillary has been blowing Bush since the war started.
That's what we call a gratuitous assertion.
She's going to slay whatever's left of the BFEE
in 2009.
Kerry has been calling it wrong for the last four
years.
Your lack of specificity saved you on that one.
You really are dumber then Bush.
No, nobody is more "dumber" than Bush.
Even you, with your monkey punctuation, seem
smarter than Bush..
Do you ever look in the mirror and say, damn,
I am a frickin liar.
You have failed to even make a gratuitous assertion
about a specific lie.

Bart, you wrote

Pick one! According to Judicial Watch, she is #2 on the most corrupt politician list.
You must be too young to know what Judicial Watch is.
They report:
> 2. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) - In January
2006, Hillary's fundraising operation was fined
$35,000 by the Federal Election Commission for
failing to accurately report more than $700,000
in contributions to Clinton's Senate 2000 campaign.
If there was evidence that she was personally
involved, our whore media would make that
the top news story every day of the year. They
haven't, so it's no big deal.
New information also surfaced in 2006 raising
more questions about Hillary and her brother
Anthony Rodham's connection to the Clinton Pardongate
scandal, where presidential pardons
were allegedly traded in exchange for cash and
other favors.
Pure horseshit.
There was no "pardongate scandal."
They CLAIM "new info has surfaced," so why not
say what it is?
They don't say because it doesn't exist.
http://www.judicialwatch.org/6091.shtml
That nutty list has every indicted
and convicted Republican you can think of plus every
allegation ever made against any
Democrat. You can't trust Judicial Watch.
I am DAMN tired of holding my nose and voting!!!
D.C. is a cesspool and needs cleaning up!

Musclehead breaks femur while skiing
Excerpt:
California Gov. Musclehead broke his leg while
skiing Saturday in Sun Valley, Idaho.
Schwarzenegger, 59, was X-rayed and discharged
with a fractured right femur.
He will have surgery to repair the bone when he
returns to Los Angeles. He remained
at his Sun Valley home Saturday night and still
planned to spend Christmas there.
I've had a pair of those and it's no fun.
The femur is the biggest, longest bone in your body.
(I get dizzy just looking at that)
Ortho has come a long way in 36 years, but when I had mine,
I was in a body cast for about 7 months and that's no picnic, either.
(That's where I learned to be patient with everyone and everything
:)
The problem is - you can't move any bones connected to the femur so
they freeze you
from your knee to your pelvis so you're in cement from your calf to
your sternum.
I can't see Musclehead in a body cast so I expect a new diagnosis if
a few days.
I predict they'll re-diagnose this as a "hairline" fracture and put
him on crutches.
On the other hand, this was a "black diamond" ski run, so if Der Musclehead
was going 50-60 MPH he must've actually broke that biggest of all bones.
Trust me, Musclehead is not "restling comfortably."
If you get the leg in the right position and hold completely still,
it doesn't hurt.
But if you do something "radical" like reach for a glass of water,
you get a tazer shot
to the thigh and what comes out of your mouth isn't even a word.

Got passion?
Fox News
drops out of Top Ten
While Keith Olbermann is 'surging'
Excerpt:
What a month it has been for the right wing religious
conservative cabal attempting to subvert the
very meaning of America. First voters reject
their God-anointed leader George W(orst) Bush.
Then The Nativity Story is rejected not only
by pagans, Jews and Muslims but most Christians.
Now comes word that not only has Fox News dropped
out of the top ten most watched cable
channels but Keith Olbermann's nightly reminder
that Bush was anointed by the Supreme Court
is single-handedly responsible for increasing
the viewership of MSNBC 25% over a year ago.
Bush is now seen as a lying bastard and it follows that FOX News, who
praise everything
the liar says, must also suffer in the ratings because people know
they can't be trusted.

I have a question.
After 9-11, if Bush ordered that every
American wore a blue shirt every day,
would that not be definitive proof that blue
shirts keep us safe?
After all, we haven't had another attack since 9-11, so that must be true

Lies and
Obfuscations
by Eleanor Clift
Excerpt:
Bush has shifted his rhetoric in deference to
the grim reality in Iraq.
Asked on Oct. 25 if we are winning, Bush said,
"Absolutely, we're winning."
Bush now says, "We're not winning, but we're
not losing."
That sounds like the definition of a quagmire.

Bart,
Where are the troops going to come from next
year for the "surge" in Iraq?
One possible area would be Young Republicans.
With school starting up again soon it would be
a great idea to ask the YR's
at every possible opportunity why they don't
drop out and enlist.
Personally, I'll think about sending my kids to
war when Bush sends his.
With Republicans it's not just that their policies

verything they do is accompanied by the rotten

Iraq's highest appeals court (Bush's kangaroo)

James Brown Dies on Chrismas
Excerpt:
James Brown, the dynamic "Godfather of Soul"
who was one of the biggest influences
on American music in the last 50 years, has died.
He was 73.
Brown died Monday in Atlanta, according to his
agent, Frank Copsidas of Intrigue Music.
Brown's "Say It Loud -- I'm Black And I'm Proud,"
energized a generation during the Civil Rights Era.
With a raspy voice and revolutionary rhythms,
Brown's stage antics -- which included dancing on his toes,
sliding across the stage and calling for his
cape after falling to his knees -- inspired performers such as
Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger and others.
