MotherJones.com | MoJoBlog - Social Issues and Political Commentary: "Humor is a Form of Common Sense": Further Notes on Franken's Minnesota Run

MotherJones.com MoJoBlog - Social Issues and Political Commentary: "Humor is a Form of Common Sense": Further Notes on Franken's Minnesota Run:

"Franken has an aura of authenticity that Minnesotans were buzzing about. Maybe
it's that he sometimes gets so angry over a Bush Administration sin that he
stumbles over his words and loses any semblance of a politician's veneer. Maybe
it's that he has confronted all of the Right's biggest bullies (O'Reilly,
Limbaugh, Gingrich, Wolfowitz, among others) and no half-hearted liberal would
put his reputation in harm's way so recklessly and frequently. Regardless of the
reason, people buy in. 'We tend to send the same kind of people [to
Washington],' said a retired farmer I spoke with Minnesota. '[They] are
arrogant, have ambition, and have drive, and when they get there they kind of
forget why they went. I think Al is the kind of person who if he got there would
be the same kind of person he is now.'"


Appears that our friend Al Fraken is doing well with his senate run. I don't know that much about his politics, but his stand on the issues comes across to me at least as being thought out and mature. He doesn't strike me as a person that would hold the party line, he isn't afraid to challenge either side when he feels that needs to be done. For me character is sometimes more important than issues, you will never agree with everyone on the issues. It is important to know that they get to their positions thoughtfully and not by following either the party line or the polls.

lgf: Islamic Countries Denounce Freedom of Expression

lgf: Islamic Countries Denounce Freedom of Expression:

"The Organization of the Islamic Conference, infamous for its antisemitic
statements and tacit support for terrorism, and comprised of nations with
absolutely abysmal records on human rights, where freedom of religion is utterly
nonexistent, wants the world to de-link Islam from terrorism. They’re not
talking about stopping the actual terrorism, of course—just “de-linking” the
word “terror” from Islam. They want the West to give up that pesky “free speech”
thing, and stop offending Muslims. The same old drill."


If they want those words to no longer be connected, then they need to take strong action to stop terrorists that use Islam as a cover. They need to stop terrorists who act in their name, work from their countries and share their faiths. If they want the west to stop thinking about Islam and terror as connected ideas, they have to take action to show the world that they are not connected.

Unless the fact is that they are connected.

Robert Kaplan On The Surge and General Petraeus

Townhall.com::Blog: Robert Kaplan On The Surge and General Petraeus

"The idea that General Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker are front men for
the administration is ludicrous. Until he took the job as overall ground
commander in Iraq, Petraeus was a favorite of liberal journalists: the Princeton
man who enjoyed the company of the media and intellectuals, so much so that he
was vaguely distrusted by other general officers who envied the good ink he
received. As for Crocker, he is a hard-core Arabist, a professional species that
I once wrote a book about: He is the least likely creature on earth to buy into
neoconservative ideas about the Middle East. Neither of these men are identified
with the decision to go to war. If I had to bet, I’d say that Crocker especially
would have been against it, like his other Arabist colleagues. Thus, these men
have no personal stake in proving the president right. They and their staffs are
much more likely to provide a balanced analysis of the reality in Iraq than
senators and congressmen looking over their shoulders at opinion polls and
future elections. As Petraeus said, “I wrote this testimony myself,” meaning,
the White House had nothing to do with it. Watching them brief Congress Monday,
I came away convinced that they made a better impression on the public than
anyone else in the room."


Democrats have gotten to the sad state that all those who disagree with them are stooges of Bush. They can't believe that someone would have an honest opinion about the war that is different than them.

Wiping The Floor With Tariq Ramadan

Advice Goddess Blog: Wiping The Floor With Tariq Ramadan

"Finally, here's the audio of Hitchens crashing Tariq Ramadan's session at
Festivaletteratura in Mantua (after Ramadan wriggled out of debating Hitchens,
probably knowing Hitchens would make quick work of his po-mo bullshit claims
about the kumbaya-ness of Islam)."


I love hearing Hitchens take on people. I don't always agree but he is smart and knows how to ask good questions. Click the link for the site with the audio link.

Daily Kos: Things that make you go "huh??????":

"But Gingrich, who represented Georgia for 20 years, indicated that a push
he is making for a grass-roots change in how the country is governed, with less
partisanship, would take at least five years to develop into a coherent
alternative to the current system."


Gingrich does not seem like the ideal person to be talking about bi-partisanship.

Ted Stevens had oil company employees renovate his home - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

Ted Stevens had oil company employees renovate his home - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"Ex-Veco Corp. CEO Bill Allen admitted in court Friday that he had company
employees work several months on a remodeling project at the Girdwood home of
U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens. The former head of the oil field services company made
the admission Friday while testifying in the federal corruption trial of a
former state lawmaker."


This clearly sounds dirty to me, he should be voted out of office. Seats of congress are not a ticket to get work done on your house for free. That is taking advantage of the trust the people have placed in you as a leader.

Crooks and Liars » Romney Attacks Democrats Lack Of Experience in Foreign Policy:

"If nothing else, Mitt Romney is a perpetual irony machine. Yesterday, Romney
added to his legend by proclaiming that his three leading Democratic opponents -
all U.S. Senators - lack his foreign policy experience"


He has a point, but it isn't a point that helps him any since he doesn't have any more experience than they do. The best person in terms of foreign policy experience is Hilary. She has been around the world and met leaders as the first lady.

Crooks and Liars » Foley may have run out statute of limitations

Crooks and Liars » Foley may have run out statute of limitations:

"Who’s to blame? House Republican leadership, for one, who had knowledge of
Foley’s inappropriate behavior for years. The emails originally leaked out of
the office of Rep. Rodney Alexander (R-LA), a Democrat-cum-Republican [Oh they
didn’t write that. Oh yes they did. -eds] who changed parties in 2004. But the
untold story is that the media, too, had a hand in protecting Foley."


Why do they continue to support these men who have been shown to be sex criminals. This isn't shoe tapping and hand waving. This is a case of message sent to a minor, talking about gay sex and planing on an encounter. How can they morally stand up there and do nothing about this man.

Republicans simply do not believe in our democracy - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

Republicans simply do not believe in our democracy - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"'The president does not think that generals should be denigrated at
all,' White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said. If critics of the president
'want to attack him, fine, but the generals, and by association the military,
should be out of bounds from partisan attacks.'"


Free Speech means that there are things that you can say, and there are things that you shouldn't say. I do not think that the armed forces are above question, or criticism. They are a part of our democracy as as such they also are subject to Free Speech. What should and should not be said regarding the military is similar to what I believe should and should not be said about others. You have the right to call the president any dirty name in the book. If you want people to respect you, and your opinions though it isn't a good idea to be trashing the president this way.

What should be done, is people ideas and values and actions should be questioned. Motivations can be held up to the light to see if they are what we would expect from out leaders. Personal attacks have no positive place in a political conversation. That means calling a general a traitor is just wrong, you have the right to do it, but you shouldn't.

Condi's "Closest Female Friend"

The Gist: Condi's "Closest Female Friend"

"There have long been questions about Rice's sexual orientation and her
personal life in general. As Kessler notes, 'She has built a wall of privacy
around her that is never breached.' But Kessler had access to Rice's closest
friends and to Rice herself, and he reveals some eyebrow-raising information
that hasn't been out there before. In the book and on the show, Kessler
described how Rice's 'closest male friend' is openly gay, a man by the name of
Coit D. Blacker, a Stanford professor (Rice served as the provost as Stanford in
the late 1990s for six years) and a Democrat who served in the Clinton
administration. Blacker, whose partner is also mentioned, advised Al Gore's
campaign in 2000, while his close friend Rice served as a chief confidante for a
president who has tried to make gays into second class citizens in the U.S.
Constitution. But wait, it gets better."


I just wanted to touch on this to say how immature it is that we are talking about her private life in this way. She is a womyn who wants her private life respected and it should be. I know that she is also a public figure and a certain amount of interest in who she is comes with that. She must know that too, and understand the choice that she has made. The bigger question is what value does this information have, beyond its clear gossip value.

A Blog For All: Hsu Got What?

A Blog For All: Hsu Got What?:

"You have got to be kidding me that a judge thought that $5 million bail
is sufficient to keep Norman Hsu from running again. He's already gone on the
lam twice. The first time was to avoid being sent to prison for grand theft in
1992, and he was a fugitive for 15 years."


This is a clear mistake, he has a history of being a flight risk and connections that would enable him to raise the bail. This time he could flee to Europe or Asia. Which wouldn't be that bad, he wouldn't be able to raise dirty money for campaigns anymore.

A Blog For All: People Eating Tasty Pets:

"Zimbabwe's misery continues so long as Robert Mugabe remains in power.
Because the situation is so dire - with hyperinflation running rampant and no
food available, people are resorting to eating their pets to survive."


Why don't the people rise up and over throw the government? Could it be that they blame the outside world and the whites for their problems. Could other leaders take their countries down this same sad road, countries like Venezuela? If the people are that weak, I can't image that the army protecting the president is much stronger. Rise up and take your lives back people of Zimbabwe.

Gonzales leaves Justice Department - USATODAY.com:

"WASHINGTON — Resigning Attorney General Alberto Gonzales left the

This is not the last we have heard of Alberto though. There are questions that remain to be answered in many peoples minds.

Russian warplanes breach NATO airspace - USATODAY.com

Russian warplanes breach NATO airspace - USATODAY.com:

"LONDON (AP) — British and Norwegian jets intercepted Russian military aircraft
Friday after they breached NATO airspace close to the U.K. and Finland, defense
officials said. Finland's Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen demanded an explanation
from Moscow over the violation of Finnish airspace, the latest in a spate of
recent incursions."


What kind of game is Russia trying to play with the west. It recently tested a new bomb as well. The world has had one cold war, and that was one too many. Russia cannot win a cold or a hot war against the west, if it goes nuclear we all lose. What does Russia gain by reverting to these cold war tricks? It isn't going to improve its relationship with the EU or NATO. These two relationships are very important to the success of Russia in the future. Russia has a lot to lose playing these games, and nothing to win except a marginal national pride.

FOXNews.com - Pakistan Says Bhutto Can Return But Will Face Corruption Charges - International News News of the World Middle East News Europe News:

"ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Former premier Benazir Bhutto can return to Pakistan
from exile but will have to face corruption cases against her, the government
said, as her party prepared to announce her arrival date Friday."


Pakistan is the country that might be the most important in the long term struggle against terror, and the stability of the greater middle east. Its peace and stability in my view is very dependent on democracy, like any other country. If the people are given the power and the respect to be a part of their own nation they will turn away from terror. They will shun and turn away from the violence and fear that extremist forces have to offer. They will choose to be strong active members of the global community.

Pace: Mistakes were made at beginning of Iraq war - CNN.com

Pace: Mistakes were made at beginning of Iraq war - CNN.com:

"'One of the mistakes I made in my assumptions going in was that the Iraqi
people and the Iraqi Army would welcome liberation, that the Iraqi Army, given
the opportunity, would stand together for the Iraqi people and be available to
them to help serve the new nation,' Gen. Peter Pace said. But 'they
disintegrated in the face of the coalition's first several weeks of combat, so
they weren't here,' Pace said."


There were people who predicted that this would be the case, but no one knew what the outcome would be of the attack. It has been argued that the war itself was a mistake, and I am close to saying they are right. It was a mistake because of the way that it was executed. Bush took the cowboy stand of, you're either for us or against us, come and help or stay out of the way.

Iraq was a danger that needed to be dealt with, it was supporting terrorists in the West Bank and Gaza. While there have been no connections shown between Iraq and Al Qaeda, that doesn't mean that weapons of mass destruction could not have made their way from Iraqi hands into the hands of Bin Laden. The world is a better place, and Iraq is a better place without Saddam.

I think that if Bush had gone through the UN more, been more willing to talk and bring other voices to the table it would have made the invasion force stronger. More nations on board would have made it less of an invasion and more of an honest international action to stop Saddam.

ABC News: Thompson: Possible Overreach on Schiavo

ABC News: Thompson: Possible Overreach on Schiavo:

"Former Tennessee senator and presidential hopeful Fred Thompson ventured
into hazardous terrain Thursday in Florida, where he suggested Congress had
overstepped its bounds by involving itself in the Terri Schiavo case. "


Fred has a point here, I don't see any where in the constitution that gives congress the right to get involved in family matters. She was brain dead, it was a sad choice that had to be made by the family, the fact that it turned into a political movement is sad. Someone once told me they hadn't forgiven Bush for letting her die. Fred wins a point in my book.

The View Sucks! Sorry Whoopi! Hi Elisabeth!

The real reason for Google's news-wire deal | Media | MediaGuardian.co.uk

The real reason for Google's news-wire deal Media MediaGuardian.co.uk:

"So rather than trying to cut off Google or make it pay, news organisations
should devise more ways to get more Google links. Indeed, I say that if the news
agencies wanted to serve the cause of journalism, they should help Google link
not to their own articles, which are often just rehashes of the commodity news
everyone already has, but to the original reporting they draw upon. Google and
the wire services should be supporting journalism at its source and encouraging
more of it. And news organisations should be trying to create more valuable and
unique reporting to stand out and be seen in this web of content. My standing
advice to journalists on the internet is, do what you do best and link to the
rest. That is how people will discover you: through your value, not because you
are a destination. My teen son told a newspaper executive recently that he never
goes to sites directly to read them - not major news brands, not blogs (not even
his father's). He gets to the news he reads - and he reads a lot of it - through
the links of peers who aggregate headlines in services such as Digg.com. Quality
will out."


This means that it is that much harder for journalists to make a name for themselves. There are two groups that are going to remain in journalism when the blogs, the internet and Google get done with their assault on the traditional career strong holds. On the low end is going to be news that local reporters are in a position that they can attain, and no one else. If you are covering the local courts, or the local city hall, traditional beats, nothing can replace the reporter on the ground, meeting and talking with the sources. At the other end of the scale will be the best writers in the industry that can put out copy about the big stories that are effecting the nation. These reporters might source their information from other reporters, blogs, news wires and a host of other sources. The writers who do not cover beats on a daily basis, and the writers who have been putting out less than stellar copy are going to find it hard to keep their jobs. As more of the news moves to the internet, and news sites find it easier and cheaper to link their readers to great stories from other sites as opposed to hiring their own writers to produce copy about the same stories. This process means less jobs for journalists, and a strong competition for the ones that are left, beat assignments may be the most coveted assignment on newspapers of the future.

The View’s First Spat of the Season!

The View’s First Spat of the Season!:

"Yesterday, Elisabeth dredged up Monica Lewinsky (of Bill Clinton
sex-scandal fame) during a conversation about presidential candidate Mitt Romney
and the fact that polygamy is still practiced in some areas. Elisabeth suggested
that Romney may just have a woman “friend” that he’s hidden somewhere, just like
Clinton and Lewinsky. OUCH!"


I didn't hear enough of the conversation to understand what it was all about. I just want to say that it is good to see that the show has life still. Also it is good to hear Elisabeth sticking up for her ideas, and not being afraid to put out unpopular ideas.

I have a show idea actually, call it "The Other View", the hosts would be Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Mary Katharine Ham, and Elisabeth.

"“[Cleveland] Plain Dealer Editor Susan Goldberg apologized Thursday to the

You mean someone thought that it would be funny to make fun of a child being shot and killed. It isn't a question of if it should have been printed, it is a question of what kind of sick person would think it was funny enough to spend the time making it. I don't think I can express how wrong that is.

we're sure they're gonna 'update' Ramona, thus making her suck"


This should be a good movie for kids. I never read the books, but my sister did and she said that they were really good. You know who they should put in the main role, Ali Lohan. If she can act half as good as her sister I think that she will fit right in. She has the looks of a slightly dorky looking girl too, but not so much so that people wouldn't want to watch.

FOXNews.com - Former Teen Bride Reads From Diary in Polygamist Warren Jeffs Trial - Local News News Articles National News US News:

"ST. GEORGE, Utah — A former follower of a polygamous-sect leader sobbed on the
witness stand Friday as she described the terror and despair she felt on the eve
of her wedding at age 14. 'I kept thinking I felt like I was getting ready for
death,' she testified on the second day of the trial of Warren Jeffs, leader of
the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints."


On the one hand I think that there is nothing to harsh that you can do to a man like this. However, if he believed it, really believed that he was doing gods will it makes it harder. You can't set him free, but it is hard to punish someone no matter how evil they are for doing something they believed was right. Lock him away for the rest of his life, if not for the punishment, for the fact that he is a danger is society and will remain so.

X17 XCLUSIVE: Britney Never Approached to Appear on Emmys (X17 Online)

X17 XCLUSIVE: Britney Never Approached to Appear on Emmys (X17 Online):

"Despite what's being widely reported, Britney was never directly
approached by the producers of the Emmys to appear on Sunday's show, according
to an X17 inside source. The source also believes that Britney's older brother,
Bryan Spears (who's currently unemployed) has been offered $$$ by the producers
to try to convince Brit to appear on the telecast."


It would seem strange to have her on the Emmys not only because of how badly her appearance at the VMAs went, but just the fact that she was at the VMAs. She also has no reason to be at an awards show that is all about television, not that means anything. I think that Britney needs to work hard, and get her life together, and that being on the show would be bad for her career.

On the other hand there is rumors she might be taking a vacation in Utah with Lindsay.

"Muhammad Abdel-Al, spokesperson and senior leader of Palestinian terror

What, you are going to kill Madonna, please no. Can't you kill someone else instead, you know like the president or a couple senators or something. You can't kill Madonna though. In all honesty though, I think that Madonna is a bigger threat to the culture that they are trying to control than the president or senators.

that could just as well be applied her son's backstage blowup after being denied

added, 'I have never known him to have a beef with anybody. He is just
competitive by nature. He wants to be number one. And as far as many people are
concerned, he is.' "


Isn't it great the Kanye's mom is sticking up for her, guess she thinks that he got cheated by MTV as well. Maybe next year Kanye.
