Hi Mary. linky to Krugman column for those who may have missed it
Damn, he's great, and now he's blogging too. Seems a bit too busy to post much at present, though. (Good.) The more this BushDick madness goes on, the more crystal-clear will be Paul K's prescience, intelligence, and good sense, even to morons. Especially when juxtaposed with the Friedman, Brooks, etc. endless PNAC-blowing, total idiot buffoonery in the rest of the NYT stable. And don't even get me started on that waste of ink MoDo. Talk about an intelligent person staking her entire chops on teh silly narcissistic look-at-me cutesy, when the barn's on fire.
Go Paul K! Tell it bro!

This one basic concept underpins the entire enterprise. And once you toss it aside, everything else is up for grabs.
Well put. And yup. Gives me some actual hope.

Senator Dodd's campaign communications director Hari Sevugan tells me that $150,000 in small contributions have poured into Dodd's campaign in the past 24 hours, since his announcement that he will put a hold on--and may even filibuster--a foreign intelligence surveillance bill approved yesterday by the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The stoopids were just trying to follow the lead of the bu$h administration.
I bet Sheriff Joe and Thomas were saying, "Let's see if we can get away with it at the local level."
Yes, 7, if the New Times also owned the phone companies, a certain little simian devil would have been SOL for secret information, n'est-ce pas?
Posted by TIKI AL at October 20, 2007 01:13 PMHey, let me just give a shout-out to Rush Limbaugh for the success of his e-Bay (letter) auction and the resultant 4+ million dollars that will be going to Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation.
Did you folks know that half of the donation is directly from El Rushbo?
Did you know he challenged the 41 Senators who signed the letter to also donate?
Do you think any of these 41 Democratic Senators will....

guess he's feely a bit guilty for slimeing a 12 year old

Like Senator Ried's insistence that Rush cast aspersions on the military, this is also false.
Posted by Bagley at October 20, 2007 04:28 PMBe wary of Crooks & Liars. Crooks & Liars is what's known as a left gatekeeper blog; their job is to pretend to be leftist (earning their "credibility" with plenty of Bush-bashing) and then use that "credibility" to manage discourse, diverting discussion away from areas most harmful to the regime. They will take things right up to the edge but they know how much they can say and what they can't say. On the most important issues they are obfuscators and distractors, discourse channelers, not genuine leftists. Just like Daily Kos, Huffington Post, MyDD, Democratic Underground, Moxie Grrrl, Educational Whisper, The American Prospect, Mother Jones, Salon, The Nation, Sadly No!, My Left Wing, etc. These kind of sites, though appearing to foam at the mouth with vitriol against the right wingers, are actually doing the regime a favor by limiting discussion on matters to keep it within parameters safe for the regime. If you don't believe me, try posting something on for example Crooks & Liars that says: People in the reality-based community should have no problem whatsoever in realizing that the uppermost portion of a skyscraper is not going to be able to "fall" into and THROUGH the remaining vast majority of solid building as quickly, meaning as effortlessly as falling through air without something else (i.e. explosives) reducing said majority of building to such a state of offering no more resistance than air. Can we all agree on that? Sounds pretty straightforward; solid things offer vastly more resistance than air. Anyone who graduated elementary school SHOULD be able to grasp this, and SHOULD be able to therefore grasp that the Twin Towers and WTC # 7 building had to have been controlled demolitions. It is literally COMMON SENSE.
See what happens. I'll tell you what happens: Anyone posting on Crooks & Liars who says anything that in any way questions the impossible official myth of 9/11 gets banned from commenting.
Want to see how Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos fame has ties to the C.I.A.? Read here:

Want to see how Kos does the same shit as Crooks & Liars, covering up for the mass murdering clique who brought us the 9/11 inside job? Check here:

So just because a blog APPEARS to be leftist, don't assume they are genuine. Finding out where they stand on 9/11 truth and election fraud will let you know if they're for real or just part of the cover-up.

sure, like the fact that Rush is a drug addict who escaped military service because of an anal cyst
yeah, that's YOUR hero, rather pathetic
Posted by gay veteran at October 20, 2007 07:00 PMI hate to be the one to break it to you but the "war on terror" is fake. It is nothing more than a gigantic series of wars for as much American control as possible over as much of the world's remaining oil and natural gas resources as possible. That's it. If you don't believe me, use a search engine and a wall map and in an afternoon you'll see what I'm talking about. Every theater in the "war" revolves around oil and/or natural gas exploration, extraction and transport to market-- from Afghanistan, to Iraq, to the Philippines, to Somalia, to the former-Soviet country Georgia. Before you ask, Afghanistan is about getting natural gas (and oil) pipelines built from Turkmenistan across Afghanistan to Pakistan and a port.
How fortuitous that 9/11 happened when it did to give them their pretext huh? Well, 9/11 didn't just happen, it was MADE to happen. THAT'S why it's so "fortuitous", and that's why Bush had warplans on his desk for an invasion of Afghanistan 2 days BEFORE 9/11 when public opinion would not in any way support an invasion of Afghanistan WITHOUT a 9/11 event. You've been had; 9/11 was an inside job, and it's easily provable. There's a mountain of evidence showing it to be an inside job, among it this: Even N.I.S.T. admits the Twin Towers came down at freefall rate. People in the reality-based community should have no problem whatsoever in realizing that the uppermost portion of a skyscraper is not going to be able to "fall" into and THROUGH the remaining vast majority of solid building as quickly, meaning as effortlessly as falling through air without something else (i.e. explosives) reducing said majority of building to such a state of offering no more resistance than air. Can we all agree on that? Sounds pretty straightforward; solid things offer vastly more resistance than air. Anyone who graduated elementary school SHOULD be able to grasp this, and SHOULD be able to therefore grasp that the Twin Towers and WTC # 7 building had to have been controlled demolitions. It is literally COMMON SENSE.
Add to that the fact that "Al Qaeda" isn't in control of the U.S. Air Force so they certainly wouldn't be able to make it stand down while they reach their targets. Add to that the "hijackers" (patsies) not being able to even fly small propellor planes worth a damn, yet we are supposed to believe they jumped in the cockpit of these Boeing 757s and -767s and flew them like pro pilots? Come on. These guys also weren't Muslim enough to sacrifice their own lives; they drank liquor like fish, snorted cocaine, got lapdances at strip clubs, some lived with their girlfriends; what they sound more like are C.I.A. assets who thought they were in training to become drug pilots. Remember all that time they spent in Florida? Then consider the people like Willie Brown, some DoD generals etc. who were warned in advance to not fly that day. Then consider that SOMEBODY placed record amounts of "put" options on the stocks of companies that would be directly affected by 9/11, and placed the "put" options on the stock in the week BEFORE 9/11, meaning they knew what was about to happen. Then consider Bush's Secret Service allowing him to remain in Booker Elementary school for at least 35 minutes after Andy Card told him that there had been a second crash at the Twin Towers, that "we're under attack". They SHOULD have IMMEDIATELY whisked Bush out of there to a safer location. Instead they let him remain there and even to carry out his pre-announced press conference! The only way they could have been so confident to assume that Bush wasn't even a POSSIBLE target would be if they knew the target list beforehand, meaning 9/11 had to have been an inside job. These and many more pieces of evidence all point to one inescapable conclusion: 9/11 was a false flag attack done by the U.S. against its own people, to provide a pretext for their resource wars, commonly called the "war on terror". Wake up from your slumber America, before it's too late. Many already are waking up. Don't be the last ones on the school bus to figure out that Santa Claus isn't real.
