ive always wondered which continent central america was considered a part of. was that ever clear to yous?

a president taking questions from the press? how retro. maybe he can train the press to ask pressing questions. hopefully hell make a habit of it.

i couldnt get through it last time it was on but if youre a tivo person you might want to set it to record the warriors late night tonight on tcm. that it was ever deemed controversial seems utterly ridiculous now.

It is unacceptable that television news brings Tom Delay and Karl Rove on as bona fide political commentators, when both are criminals. The same thing goes for Oliver North. Delay has been indicted on corruption charges and had to step down from his seat in Congress. Rove led a campaign to have the press out a covert CIA operative who was attempting to stop Iranian nuclear proliferation, essentially blowing her cover and that of her contacts to Tehran (i.e. he is a traitor).

There was a time when individuals so tainted with crime made themselves unacceptable in polite society, including on television.

Instead, these monsters are being given air time. CNN brought Delay on to accuse Barack Obama of being a "Marxist." To have that shameless embezzler given a platform to smear an honorable man just made my blood boil.

Folks, we need an organization that can blanket the corporate media with emails of complaint every time they bring on a criminal and parade him as a legitimate commentator. If they blow us off, it would be time to get up some advertiser boycotts.

i got purged from this comment thread within 5 minutes for suggesting that dennis ross who obama has leaned on for cred with the aipac crowd had neocon tendencies albeit in a clintonian vein even as i concluded that i hoped for the best. i wouldnt doubt that klein and ross are sympatico.

Wayne's World -- Bill Foster handily retains the seat he won in a special election, keeping the House safe for physics. This seat, whose district included Aurora Il, was held by Hastert before his retirement.

key facts

NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family—clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

american ingenuity at work. cnn up the gimmickry bar. when are they going to admit that wolf blitzer is a droid? no human could ever be so obsequious.

looks like the worst news is that the dems fell short in a couple of senate races, and the expected numbers in the house were also somewhat less than expected so theyll be no supermajorities. most notable among them are al franken losing (at the moment) by less than 1000 votes and alaska voting for the convicted felon, the latter quite probably resulting in the govenor appointing herself the next senator from alaska. so good chance we'll be seeing alot more of sarah palin in the near future.

also that crazy bitch that cried mccarthyism (bachmann) from minnesota won which is unfortunate.

The Christian Science Monitor plans major changes in April 2009 that are expected to make it the first newspaper with a national audience to shift from a daily print format to an online publication that is updated continuously each day.

My Mother died a year and a day ago, so this is my last day of mourning.
In recognition I’m posting this video of John Cale’s Paris 1919, which I know she liked because it was one of the few records she bought both on vinyl and CD; I’m now in possession of both copies. Great live performance with full orchestra.
