McCain's Junta
Author: Raine    Date: 05/12/2008 12:52:55

Hi everyone...

Last night there was some wild and woolly weather in the ATL, our power didn't get turned back on till early this morning.... btw, has anyone here ever tried painting by candlelight? :thud:

Ok. on to the news of the day....
Not one... but TWO lobbyists/aides for John McCain have ties to Myanmar Junta....
Both Mr Goodyear and the second aide to resign this weekend, Doug Davenport, worked for the lobbying firm DCI, the former as its chief executive.

Newsweek magazine revealed on Saturday that DCI was paid more than $300,000 (£150,000) by Burma's military leadership for lobbying work to improve its image in the US.

Offering his resignation as convention coordinator shortly afterwards, Mr Goodyear said he was standing down "so as not to become a distraction in this campaign".
'NOT TO BECOME A DISTRACTION?' Are you kidding me??? I say this NEEDS to be a distraction for the campaign. This is the kind of maverick John McCain is, my friends.

We in America are watching over a hundred thousand human beings die in Burma and John McCain hired people who took money to help make that happen.

So once again, while we discuss the Rev. Wright, flag pins, Hillary not leaving the race, John McCain is getting a free ride, and people ARE dying. The following shows just a few of John's Good friends...


If you want more Bush, Vote McCain.

:peace: and

Raine

Wooo thankees Raine! We've got some weird stuff goin' on up here today, I think it's from the same storm movin up the coast. No rain yet, just a lotta swirling gray stuff...

Comment by Raine on 05/12/2008 13:07:23
Well watch out Scoop. This is the same storm that passed thru Faye's area and wiped out an entire town.



2 people died down around Macon Georgia... Jeez, Where is Inhoff to tell me that this is all a big 'global warming joke' when you need him? I could use a good lie right now to calm my nerves!

Good morning everyone.



We're supposed to get a good soaking here today, but hopefully we won't get what has hit the southern tier. Probably the same storm that caused the postponement of 3 ball games yesterday (including the Yankees).

Comment by livingonli on 05/12/2008 13:48:43
One of my morning e-mails. Looks like Comcast is up to shenanigans.



Comcast, which has a history of censoring political content is STILL

abusing their monopoly power to suppress political speech. Last week

in San Francisco they REFUSED to accept the new Shirley Golub TV ad,

in her congressional primary challenge against Nancy Pelosi.



Stop Comcast Censorship Action Page:

http://www.shirley08.com/petitions/pnum835.php



Apparently they did not take kindly to Golub's comparison of the

political behavior of the current Speaker of the House to a rubber

chicken, for her cowardice in not standing up to the Bush

administration. But that's not their call, and in the meantime the 3

major non-cable broadcast outlets ARE running the ad and they all

think it's a delightful hoot.



The real problem is that Shirley wanted to place these ads

specifically to support Keith Olbermann on MSNBC cable, and Comcast

by their action is making it immensely harder for her to mobilize

those who are Olbermann's viewers, her natural base. It is simply

outrageous for Comcast to refuse to air perfectly acceptable

political speech because THEY don't like the content. We must flood

them with complaints, or Olbermann himself, with his own

uncompromising commentary, may not be far behind.



The action page above will send your message of complaint to Comcast

CEO Brian Roberts, and let Keith Olbermann and MSNBC know what's

going on.



With more that 30,000 YouTube views already this amazing TV ad is

having a real impact. It was a featured news story for a full news

cycle the first day it aired. And it is only because of your

contributions that this is happening. Please watch it again, and if

you can make a donation to run even more of these spots on the

stations that are accepting them, we can really put the heat on

Comcast.



Rubber Chicken TV Spot: http://www.shirley08.com/rubber_chicken.php



You can make a real difference right now by telling Comcast that they

need to back off. And if you can make a contribution of $100 or more,

Shirley wants to send you one of the new bright orange "IMPEACH BOTH"

caps to wear proudly. And if you can be a "tell it like it is" angel

and donate $1,000 or more, Shirley will also send you one of her

custom embroidered, satin baseball award jackets with the "I'm On The

Table" message.



Keith Olberman himself has said much more unflattering things about

members of the Bush administration than calling them chickens, and

that's why we love him, for his truth telling. And it is critical for

Shirley mobilize the audience who watches Olbermann on cable, and in

particular because only on cable can she focus on her constituents

exactly within the limits of her congressional district.



The courage of Shirley Golub is a breaking news story. With your help

in a matter of days we can break her out as true national leadership

figure, and then won't Nancy Pelosi be running scared.



Paid for by Shirley Golub for Congress



Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed

to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.

Hillary's Grotesque Insult to African-Americans.



There is, indeed. There was a name for it when the Republicans were using that kind of lousy rhetoric to good effect: it was called the Southern strategy, although it was hardly limited to the South. Now the Clintons, in their desperation to find some way -- any way -- back to the White House, have leapt aboard that sorry train.



He can't win! Don't you understand? He's black! He's black!



The Clintons have been trying to embed that gruesomely destructive message in the brains of white voters and superdelegates for the longest time. It's a grotesque insult to African-Americans, who have given so much support to both Bill and Hillary over the years.







But it's an insult to white voters as well, including white working-class voters. It's true that there are some whites who will not vote for a black candidate under any circumstance. But the United States is in a much better place now than it was when people like Richard Nixon, George Wallace and many others could make political hay by appealing to the very worst in people, using the kind of poisonous rhetoric that Senator Clinton is using now

Morning all. Velveeta checking in. We also had high winds and large parts of our Co. is powerless. We lost our refrigerator (?) !! It has power but no cold. Some damn computer chip I'm sure........... but I just went major grocery shopping on Sat. So........ this sucks!!



*sigh*



Anyway, Sears has been called and will be out promptly tomorrow between 8am and 5pm.



My problems remain small compared to those poor people in Burma! And in China with the Earthquake. (Both countries we may never know the correct death toll estimates).



I'll be off today, cleaning up and ........... shopping/getting ice, etc. Stay safe everyone!

Oh! And SCREW John McCain!! What a LIAR!!!



I don't have a problem with Lobbying, I know its one of those things that we do need. Otherwise we'd have no funding for the Arts or laws for the disabled to have access (for examples). But a lobbying firm can chose the companies it wants to represent! Lets keep that in mind.

Comment by livingonli on 05/12/2008 14:08:55
I have the BBC World on and they are reporting about an earthquake in China and the relief efforts in Burma (calling it Myanmar is an acknowledgment of the dictatorship).

From an electrical standpoint, refrigerators are pretty simple. If everything runs (fans, lights, etc.) but it's not getting cold, then either the freon leaked out, or the compressor is not running. The compressor not running could be any number of things.



The other possibility is that the defroster is not working. We got a fridge for free because the owner was moving and said it didn't work (and didn't want to fix it). It turns out the defrost was broken, so the coils would slowly freeze up until air couldn't flow around them anymore.



I got a new defrost unit from a local parts place for 70 bucks, replaced it, and it's worked perfectly ever since.

Thom Hartmann: Dick Gregory said that white people should actually be called pink people.

Howard just played audio of Bill O'Lielly yelling and having a total hissy because he couldn't figure out a promo for Inside Edition. Funny thing about Mr. Family Values Man. He really has command of the f-word. Language comprehension, not so much.



DON'T BLOCK THE SHOT!!

What really makes Bill an ass is that he treats the crew like sh*t. A pissed off crew is not a good thing. From that point on, they're going to yank his chain at every opportunity. Oh, to be a fly on the wall. We can only hope for more Utubes gems.

Someone on the SMS blog said that they were in New Hampshire when they saw the infamous "Don't block the shot" moment and he said that he and his wife witnessed Bill-O constantly yelling at and ripping into his crew. There must be a lot of people even at Fox News who hate his guts.

Didn't know Robert Ailes owned Inside Edition? And I would think that at this point O'Lielly is a "public figure" to some extent and refor O'Lielly is not a copywritered creation like Mickey Mouse.

That would make sense and since the clip it was an outake I don't think it was copyrighted.



I believe Inside Edition is distributed by King World for syndication (ie Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Oprah).

Comment by IzzyBitz on 05/12/2008 17:34:36
Sounds like Bill-O is censoring the Utubes now. What a douche. When Bill leaves Fox, or even better when he is fired, I'm sure more of these outbursts will appear on the Utubes. DON'T PISS OFF THE CREW!!



Livin, if you can listen to the Howard replay on Channel 100 at around 2 or 2:30, you can hear Bill in all his unbleeped glory. Howard played it near the beginning of the show.

Comment by Scoopster on 05/12/2008 17:37:00
Ah hmm.. I didn't get a chance to see the clip so I didn't know it was from Inside Edition. Whoever's involved with King World might've said something then.... aren't they owned by Sony Pictures Intl?



Or.. a buncha freepers could've complained to YouTube about the language.



I'm grapsing for hypothetical straws here.

I can't hear the show so I missed that but it seems like no surprise especially since AAR management is very pro-Clinton. They wanted to renegotiate her contract or get rid of her because they do not want that criticism of Clinton on the air.



Which makes me think that neither Sammy or Maron will get the 3-6 slot.

What bothers me, aside from the Clean Coal hat, is that THIS was ok'd to be held at that rally.

: looks below :



The boy's name Hussein \hu(s)-sein\ is pronounced hoo-SAYN. It is of Arabic origin, and its meaning is "good; small handsome one". The name of a prominent person in Shiite Islam and a royal name in Jordan.



Hussein has 4 variant forms: Husain, Husayn, Husein and Hussain.



Baby names that sound like Hussein are Hassain and Hassan.




OK, so I wouldn't mind having a president with this name.
