I hope Hillary wins even though it isn't looking too good right now.  But I also hope that if she does win, the big buffoon is nowhere to be seen in a Clinton administration.

The longer she keeps him around, the harder it seems to be for her to get rid of him.

(wonder if he'll tell him to go f himself?)

I cannot tell you how many people I've met or work with who've come from all over Europe, Japan, Korea, the UK, Australia, etc. to live in my fine city.

Tonight, Williams again talked about pulling down the statue, with video of the event (the close up version, not the longshots which showed how few people were there), asking of Gen. Petraeus how it felt that on that historic day the only decisions were whether to put a US flag on the head of the statue and whether or not to assist the Iraqis in achieving the pull down of the statue. He noted with sadness that the square was now off limits to Iraqis. (His inclusion of the information from Engler does indicate he is capable of absorbing new facts.)

Huh, Williams!???! You don't know it was a psy-ops creation? You don't know about the BBC wideangle video showing how few people were there? How the US broadcasters showed only the tight shots instead to try make it look like huge "ebullient" crowds celebrating freedom, the better to propagandize the public???

This is disgusting.

War's Iconic Image a PSYOPS Creation
By Janine Jackson

The July 3 [2004] L.A. Times finally put to some sort of definitive rest the notion that it was ebullient Iraqis who pulled down the Saddam Hussein statue in Baghdad's Firdos Square in April of last year. The statue pulldown is described in an internal Army study, the Times reported, as one of many psychological operations maneuvers employed by the military. It was a Marine colonel who decided to topple the statue, and "it was a quick thinking Army psychological operations team that made it appear to be a spontaneous Iraqi undertaking."

What is going on that a major news anchor can lie on air about something which should be well known to any well-informed news person? What is he doing? Getting the drums of war tuned up? He did go to the Iran done it line, and got Gen. Pet to spout his anti-Iran talking points.

Obama: That than which nothing greater can be conceived

Now you have a place where you can post your unrelated thoughts. Frankly, I am fed up with all the off topic commenting in my posts at least. J may not mind. I know I do. Stop it.

Heck, I did. Months and months ago.

Chicago, IL - Hari Sevugan, spokesman for Obama for America, released the following statement in response to Senator Clinton's latest misleading attack regarding Iraq:

"Hillary Clinton's tired and discredited attack is just the same old politics that won't end this war that she voted to authorize, and won't change the fact that she has repeatedly misled the American people about her Iraq record. We're happy to have a debate with Hillary Clinton over who the American people trust to end this war, since Barack Obama is the only candidate who had the judgment to oppose the war from the very beginning, not just from the beginning of a campaign for President."

Across Pennsylvania, we're living the problems.

An economy in shambles. Families struggling. Gas prices close to four dollars a gallon.

What's Hillary Clinton's answer?

Misleading negative ads.

Here's the truth.

While she's played political games, it's Barack Obama who's taken on the oil companies, demanding higher gas mileage standards and a larger investment in alternative energy.

It's Obama who's worked to strip tax breaks from the oil giants as they roll up record profits.

And he's the only candidate who doesn't take a dime from oil company PACs or lobbyists. The only one.

The Federal Election Commission reports that Clinton's taken more from Big Oil and other PACs and lobbyists than any other candidate, Democrat or Republican.

The same old Washington politics isn't going to lift our economy or bring down gas prices.

So if you've had your fill of that...

Bill misspeaks when he is trying to clarify about his wife misspeaking!

Maybe a simpler deconstruction is that she is endlessly combative - that trait certainly appeals to large segments of groups that have historically been marginalized. Homosexuals, professional women, and ethnic minorities. I'm sure that if Obama weren't in the race, African-Americans would be more vocal advocates of and for her.

This combativeness also explains why Hillary does better in the Northeast than in the Midwest, where being nice is preferable to being combative.

Hillary = 5 lawn signs

Today, I learned that I have been pruned out of my delegate race. I will say that I didn't really expect to win. There were people in my district that were better organized and better known (Chris Daly). And they both made the cut. However, I didn't figure the campaign to whom I donated money, and to whom I traveled to two different states for, would decide that I wasn't loyal enough. Heck, I spent March 4 working for Buffy Wicks (the CA field director) in Texas at the Election Hotline.

I'd love to talk about this.  I thought it was an interesting look into how the stories we hear get processed.  Apparently it's all hinging on one person.  Greaaaat.  If I thought the press corps was trustworthy, that might actually sound heroic.
