Well I was disturbed that Mr.Marshall  is so uninformed and  that he is still ignorant of the truth about how the networks manipulated the audio to filter out the backround cheering and screaming, thus making the governor look like a screaming maniac. Needless to say I immediately called Mr.Marshalls DC office to inform them of the facts and urge them to quit perpetuating a lie.
So I am not above defending the governor when he deserves defending. And it makes me crazy with dems still attacking their own.

Justice John Paul Stevens, writing the 6-3 decision, said that Congress could change the law to allow medical use of marijuana.

This is a sad day indeed for so many ill people who rely upon this drug to ease the pain of their illnesses.

Should be one hell of an hour, especially if Tim tries his BS with Dean, I expect the governor to do quite well.
 

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Saying she has a "bull's eye" on her back, freshman GOP Rep. Marilyn Musgrave sent a mass e-mail Friday begging for money to help her combat the "radical homosexual agenda" that is trying to oust her from office.

Looks like old Marilyn is gonna get ugly here( as if its possible for her to even get uglier).
I only hope and pray the people in her disrict come to their senses and reject the hate embodied by Ms.Musgrave.

This is a beautiful thing, and ammunition to use against the Kerry flip flopper meme that seems to have pervaded the discussions so far.  I hope Kerry has this on hand at the debate.

So I'm just a little giddy that the Rocky Mountain News decided to publish my letter to the editor today, 3-4 weeks after I sent it, and two weeks after they called to confirm and suggest they might publish it.  I had sort of given up.

And I still think our greatest strength is to call attention to Bush's lack of leadership, and to me nothing does that more then watching those "7 Pet Goat Minutes".

WASHINGTON (AP) John Kerry is criticizing President Bush for letting a decade-long ban on assault weapons expire while unveiling his own $5 billion plan to fight crime and picking up a police union endorsement.

''George Bush made a choice today,'' the president's Democratic challenger said in remarks prepared for a Washington audience Monday. ''He chose his powerful friends in the gun lobby over the police officers and the families he promised to protect.''

OSLO, Norway (CNN) -- Masked robbers stormed into an art museum in Norway and stole Edvard Munch's famous paintings "The Scream" and "Madonna" at gunpoint before the eyes of stunned museum-goers.

I just couldnt resist the headline,because I'm sure most everyone is thinking about Dean's "supposed" scream, which to my embarassment I discovered through another thread, and forced to confess and apologize for my ignorance there , was'nt really a scream.

A little smackdowncoming down here , and it  sure is nice seeing some press on it, and seeing Edwards coming out front on it in his intelligent, articulate way.

So has anyone else noticed this happening where they are, or maybe its just in potential swing states.

The article on MSNBC's web page is about how GE is about to have a new tax code written that not only provides for $140 Billion in corproate tax cuts over the next ten years, but also give incentives to export american jobs and into foreign investment.

WTF    Does the greed never end?  Do these people not care at all for anyone or anything besides the bottom line?

Kerry and Edwards should be jumping all over this fucken bill.      

This is just one more nail in the neocon coofin.

(CBS) Accusing top Pentagon officials of "dereliction of duty," retired Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni says staying the course in Iraq isn't a reasonable option.

"The course is headed over Niagara Falls. I think it's time to change course a little bit or at least hold somebody responsible for putting you on this course," he tells CBS News Correspondent Steve Kroft in an interview to be broadcast on 60 Minutes, Sunday, May 23, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

The current situation in Iraq was destined to happen, says Zinni, because planning for the war and its aftermath has been flawed all along.

While others painstakingly dissect and scrutinize every little bit of minutia and nuance of our political climate, matters of great importance to the free world are slipping by under our radar.

One of these matters that has come to my attention has to do with the sorrowful anguish of cubbies fans everywhere.For too many years have these fans been disenfranchised and scoffed at, yet never giving up the struggle to rise up and assert their rights and equality.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House voted Thursday to subject assailants who injure or kill a pregnant woman and her fetus to two separate crimes. The bill would for the first time under federal law give victim's rights to a fetus.

The bill, championed by conservative groups, drew opposition from others concerned that conferring new rights on the fetus would undermine abortion rights.

Seriously from what I've read in the past, this is a serious attempt to undermine Roe, in that it confers legal rights upon an unborn fetus.

You guys better get busy and help out

Backers of a bipartisan bill that would shield firearms dealers and manufacturers from lawsuits are pushing for a vote this week in the Senate, injecting the volatile issue of gun control into this year's presidential and Congressional elections.

The bill, which would grant legal immunity to gun makers and dealers so long as they did not sell defective weapons or violate any law, has the support of the White House and 55 sponsors in the Senate, including the Democratic and Republican leaders. It has already passed the House and could come up for consideration in the Senate as early as Wednesday.

DALLAS (AP) -- A federal appeals court has agreed to hear a request from the woman formerly known as "Jane Roe" to reconsider the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion.
Norma McCorvey, who joined with anti-abortion activists nearly 10 years ago, is seeking to have the decision overturned, citing what she says is more than 30 years of evidence that abortions are psychologically harmful to women.

Its 2004, and this is still happening.  Unbelievable.
