BB SIDEBAR NOTICE
Thanks to you, The BRAD BLOG has been trouble-making and muckraking for … 22 YEARS!!!
Please help The BRAD BLOG, BradCast and Green News Report remain independent and 100% reader and listener supported in our 23rd YEAR!!!
I don’t know why these servicemen with no arms can’t pull themselves up by their bootstraps. After all, Hannity had to lie them into war for years to get his millions.
The usual damage control will kick in quickly and Walter Reed will be as shiny as a new penny, soon. All the rest of the rat infested holes will go unseen by the American people.
Fascists profiteers have all the money.
Another event I personally watched on C-SPAN yesterday was the visit from the head of a mid-east country, Jordan.
He addressed the joint congress and urged the United States to begin peace negotiations before a disaster happens that will damage the entire world.
He was gracious, articulate, and spoke without hesitation or looking at notes.
The King of Jordan addressing both houses of congress was the big news of the day. It was missed.
We are a nation of war-mongering media.
Yah, Dredd.. I think I heard it on Cnn(Palistinian thing?), Cnn is covering most of the ‘mainstream’ anti-bush stuff(but only msm crap,never conspiratorial-like stories). When they bring up websites on cnn’s ‘Wolf’ etc. it’s only the tame ones,(when it’d be so easy to mention some good ones eh?). The sheep are under control. Anna served her purpose. Somewhere rove is choosing the next distraction for fox to cover,while writing gate’s next day’s script with cheney+rumsy. Bush, being just the frontman I’m sure is allowed to mostly just partake in the ‘bohemian’ lifestyle in a secret room with some young males for company and a pile of coke.(gee,something called ‘Red Flag Officers’,I think,comes to mind.)Ah well…
… Dredd, the war profiteers have taken over the country, whadya expect ?
BTW, Do you think Miss Edmunds covered-up story has something to do with this ?

FOX News is “supporting the troops” by exposing bad conditions at Walter Reed???????????
Hannity had on the father of a vet there, who said “It’s exaggerrated”. Get the propoganda out, Hannity!!! FOX News viewers are not in REALITY!!!
They also had a ticker under Libby, “Libby found not guilty of lying to the FBI” (the only count he was found “not guilty” of…)
The dems have announced an effort to put forth amendments to the pending appropriations (the public trough) to begin to bring the Iraq debacle under a sanity phase in.
The blue dog dems (right leaning on the war funding) and the liberal left wing elements are somewhat apart on this.
However, I expect some of these measures to pass the House.
In the Senate the neoCons will attempt a filibuster but, since they got 56 votes on cloture on approving the House resolution, saying the war was not in our national interest, it is possible that a filibuster will fail in the Senate.
At any rate, all the dems can do is expose the neoCon war criminals by bringing this to a vote.
That is all I can ask of them. If they bring it to a vote, even a cloture vote, they have done all they can do.
Until the ’08 election where and when we can vote more of the 21 republicans, who are up for re-election in ’08, out of office.
Then sanity will have 60 votes in the Senate, and we can begin to heal, impeach, and prosecute the sicko’s who took over the republican party a decade or so ago and who really hurt the United States of America.
Your daze is and your days are coming to an end neoCons … you are going to become neoConvicts and scourges in our national history. We are exposing you for the fascist pigs that you are!
Dredd: I guess fillibusters are “OK”, now that the GOP is in the minority in congress. Remember the GOP threatened the “nuclear option”? Or as Bush would say, the “noo-KEY-lore” option……….
HANNITY AND COLMES BAIL OUT OF A DISCUSSION WITH SALT LAKE CITY MAYOR ROCKY ANDERSON!
The mayor had made four or more contacts with the show and was scheduled for an appearance tonight to discuss the issue of impeachment. At the last minute, Fox chickened out!
A caller to Hannity’s radio show resulted in Hannity issuing a challenge to Rocky for a debate in Salt Lake. Hannity’s show is broadcast on a local radio station here which is as FAR right as you can get and I’m sure the audience at the event will be as screened as a french door, but Rocky says BRING IT ON!
Rocky will be speaking at another rally here on the 19th of this month (11am at Pioneer Park for a march to the west side of the City and County Building at 12pm for the speeches).
When Bush was here last August, more people showed up to protest Bush’s visit then in support, (BY ANYBODY’S COUNT), so any skewing of the audience towards the right will be false if the event is held in Salt Lake City!
In reference to comment #1:
It is impossible to pull yourself up by the bootstraps even if you have arms, unless your dad or Bin Laden’s family left you money to invest in the stock market.
