I’m not going to spend a lot of time editorializing about Rush Limbaugh, because the man makes me ill. So, to round up, heres what Crooks and Liars blogged about the giant douchbag:
During the September 26 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh called service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq “phony [...]

General Petraeus’ “I Don’t Know” Ad

From the VoteVets site:
Of all days, on September 11, Americans were reminded that we need to be vigilant against real threats to America, and how our military is used will either help or hurt security. But, General Petraeus has a very limited area of concern - the US military [...]

Two legged irony Newt Gingrich has decided NOT to run for president.
From this afternoon’s LA Times:
Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker whose political striptease over running for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination went through even more layers of clothing than Fred Thompson, sent out a spokesman today to say that the Georgian had decided not [...]

The Monkees were … a phase I went through, I guess. The first concert I ever went to was the Monkees reunion tour up at Lagoon with Gary Pluckett and the Union Gap Band, Herman’s Hermits and America. Honestly, It was a lot of fun and my dad was a champ for not only buying [...]

Seriously, other than the dipshit sounding “He-Man Woman Haters Club” that Cheney and the Gang are playing at … I don’t know how they thought to keep the meeting a secret. One look at the Grand America in downtown Salt Lake City and, well … looks just like it did when the President popped in [...]

You may recall last week that I sent a letter to Orrin Hatch via his website, chiding him for not supporting the restoration of Habeas Corpus. One nice thing I can say about unca Orrin, is that he always responds to my letters (no matter how opposed I am to his stance at the time). [...]

I love The Dead Milkmen. When I first got my driver’s license, I would drive around with my friends and we’d all sing along very loudy and just as off key.
From Wikipedia:
The band’s musical style could be described, in general, as punk with a large dose of comedy. For the most part, irreverence, high [...]

Mayor Rocky Anderson is issuing a challenge to every mayor in America: “Who will step it up and put on the biggest and grandest event in the country?” For those of you who remember last spring, Rocky put together the biggest Step It Up rallies back in April (featuring Los Lobos) and now [...]

Does anyone use it? It’s $12.95 a month … to blog? What’s that all about?
I’m wondering if they have RSS or ATOM feeds, or do they hide that because they’re a subscription service?
Seriously, 12.95 a month to blog? Why? WTF?

16 Signs it is Time to Impeach President Bush
Here’s my favorite one:

The first pic is kinda subtle, but, one of the more damning pictures, if you think about it.  See the rest HERE

From Senator Dodd’s website, the Talk Clock:

 
 
Since when does polling constitute who gets to speak the most at a “debate.” Granted, this open field free for all with both parties leads to some of the disparity, but, who the hell wants to listen to the moderator editorialize? Good lord, people, ask the questions, then SHUT [...]

Sorry folks, I caught some kind of flu and I’m phoning it in today.
HERE’s the Wikipedia entry.
I remember listening to this band a lot in the 9th grade because of a girl named Rebbecca. She had curly red hair, bad attitude, and wore pants with skulls and crossbones. Ah, I miss punk rock girls.

Here’s my list from last night’s Cross Point on the Nightside Project the aidio file of the segment is at the bottom.
1.    Contract On America – Newt Gingrich’s 1994 bull-crap blather fest on how Republicans would change America. Term limits, decreased spending and tough ethical reform were the keystones to this failure of an idea. [...]
