please stop. You're hurting America

AMDOM STUFF
* atrios: "Missing Bride- CNN, please stop. You're hurting America. " ">LINK

* "My American friends tell me that you are slipping towards a theocratic Dark Age. Which is very disagreeable for the very large number of educated, intelligent and right-thinking people in America. Unfortunately, at present, it's slightly outnumbered by the ignorant, uneducated people who voted Bush in. "
i love richard. full interview here

* adam sends in this :
""Bush is a hooligan bereft of any personality as a human being ... and a philistine whom we can never deal with," the ministry spokesman said Saturday, according to North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency...
"Bush is, indeed, a world dictator whose hands are stained with the blood shed by innocent civilians," he said.""
yep - we are at the point where nthkorea makes more sense than those 'born on the right side of freedom's divide' (and yep, i feel like i wanna punch condi whenever she says that)

* davidbrooks pretends to know of a secret deal where reid offered frist some stuff to settle the nucular standoff. it doesnt make any sense. brooks is lying again - the only question is why he is trying to do harm to frist *and* reid - when he could hang reid all by himself. here. georgia10 (and many others) didnt agree with me that his performance was ok tho - " his atrocious performance, and the reappearance of Furious George" - perhaps i wasnt watching closely - or i have low low expectations. its lovely to see the return of the phrase "Furious George" - i may have to return to calling him that - although 'blinky' is easier to type, and i think it also better captures the fact that he is a stupid liar...

* "Before the elections, Bush mentioned the war on terror three times as often as after. In fact, he referred to it more often in the thirty days prior to the election (71 times) than in the six months since (66 times)." bartcop on zellmiller getting hospitalised: "This is so sad. I hope he doesn't die a painful death."

* there were riots in iran a couple of weeks ago that got *zero* media attention - which is odd.

* bush's favourite author (apart from jesus) "Cabinet minister Natan Sharansky, a frequent critic of Israel's peace moves with the Palestinians, submitted his resignation Monday in protest over the planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip." LINK
faster please.

* "After 25 years in politics, Ashcroft forming a consulting firm" LINK
