narc narc, whos there?
"The Narcosphere - it appears online at http://narcosphere.narconews.com/ - is a participatory, online, forum, where readers and journalists come together to discuss, correct, add new information and relevant links, and debate the work of the journalists who publish on NarcoNews.com.
The Narcosphere is similar to other forums on the Internet that utilize a software named Scoop (Kuro5hin and The Daily Kos are two of the more popular examples), but with some new twists."

"DOBBS: Do you realize there are 3 trillion dollars in IOUs held by foreigners against U.S. assets? Does that trouble you.
GLASSMAN: The United States is the most robust economy in the world.
DOBBS: You can keep doing it.
GLASSMAN: Obviously, we have problems.
DOBBS: You talk like a cult member. There's a mantra, you say market, you say largest and dynamic.
GLASSMAN: I don't think I've said market yet.
DOBBS: And it simply removes the need for rationality.
GLASSMAN: I just wish you would devote your considerable intelligence what I think is the biggest problem with trade, which is alleviating the pain of the people who get caught. Trade definitely has more benefits...
DOBBS: I am trying to stop the pain before it continues and that's what has got to be addressed. And you are too smart to buy in as a sycophantic response to your corporate bosses and say, you know whatever you want to do, whatever the American enterprise needs to do."via tapped
mon of reason
"But I don't actually get a thrill out of this ... well, a little one, maybe. But I'd much rather see the media go wild about crimes that really matter -- like the outing of Valerie Plame, the fraudulent march to war in Iraq, the White House's axis of Enron, the assault on civil liberties, etc. etc. But at the same time, I'm not even the tiniest bit apologetic about how this is playing out.
Yes, this is the "politics of personal destruction" -- in about its purest form. But it's certainly no purer -- and no more destructive -- than the final battles of the Clinton Wars. What the Republicans did during "Monicagate" was the political equivalent of a nuclear strike. What the Democrats are trying to do now is the equivalent of -- no, it is -- massive retaliation."

kerry is so very.... softporn
big buzz over drudge today. a potential kerry sex scandal. one wonders what the motivation for the timing. is it a desperate attempt to alter the course of anti-bush sentiment reaching as fevered a pitch as has ever been. or do the rovians now fear a potential kerry candidacy and they saw this as their last opportunity to knock him offstride as the frontrunner before his nomination was absolutely certain. one would think if they had a bombshell to unload on kerry theyd hold it until he was nominated and then hit him. this would seem to benefit bush the most unless he was pressed by the contingencies of the two previous suppositions.
