…Like any legislation, this resolution [authorizing military force in Afghanistan and against Al Qaeda] is not perfect.

So, KUED carries the Bill Moyers Journal show, right?
Now, I missed “Buying the War” and I want to watch the rebroadcast. It’s on Saturday.
However, according to KUED and my digital box, KUED will only be carrying the rebroadcast on KUED [DT-3] 7.3

From the Post Chronicle this week, let me break down just the FIRST DAMN SENTENCE:
U.S. President George W. Bush Wednesday compared mass killings in Darfur to the Holocaust,…
Ok, he’s right about that… and then …
…threatening new sanctions against the government of Sudan.
So, basically, it’s stop your genocide or we cut off your Coca-Cola. [...]

From “God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater”
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’ [...]

Just got this in my email. It’s important, so, please, read it.
