drat fink

dig deeper

"Jim Lobe argues that the FBI investigation that caught up Pentagon Iran expert Lawrence Franklin is much wider than initially thought, and focuses on the unauthorized transfer to Israel of highly sophisticated military software and designs."

not equal too

"The middle class and working poor are told that what's happening to them is the consequence of Adam Smith's 'Invisible Hand.' This is a lie. What's happening to them is the direct consequence of corporate activism, intellectual propaganda, the rise of a religious orthodoxy that in its hunger for government subsidies has made an idol of power, and a string of political decisions favoring the powerful and the privileged who bought the political system right out from under us." -- Bill Moyers, Keynote speech, June 3, 2004"

also, not surprisingly, dumb (white) jocks with lots of money trend republican. actually, theyre the ones that are considered bright. one player, carlos delgado of the toronto blue jays did take some heat for being demonstratively anti-war. so, maybe theres still hope for the dominicans.

i love the leader

maybe its my recent viewings of pink panther movies but i think john mccain had a minor stroke while praising the clouseau-esque leadership qualities of dick cheney last night. either that or he was fighting off the republican mind control device they had implanted. or maybe the republican mind control device was in a death struggle with the vietcong mind control device for predominance in his addled mind. regardless, it was an entertaining twitch. though, id tell mccain to steer clear of all celebrity poker matches with that kind of tell.

release the floodgates

"It appears to be the case that someone in the Pentagon got wind that Larry Franklin had been flipped, and was terrified that the investigation might go on up the ladder at the Pentagon, in AIPAC, and with the Israelis. So they leaked news of the investigation to make sure that everybody clammed up and shredded everything."
