For some reason the 'ahem' mainstream sites aren't talking about this much,
My take on missile defense was always that it could be relatively easily defeated by launching a wave or two of decoys, then launch your real missiles amidst another batch of decoys. Here's the problem with missile defense (assuming it even works as intended) - it costs far, far more for this defense than it does for the offense. The United States spends more than the rest of the world combined on "defense" yet Americans are still less safe now than they've been in the past. Wouldn't it be a lot less expensive to just be nice to people? |
I stumbled across this interesting article today;
http://www.newswithviews.com/brownfield/brownfield67.htm Let's just say I'm thinking to offer my boss to take a 90% cut in pay but start getting paid in silver, since I believe the dollar's devaluation will continue to accelerate. Imagine what might happen when everyone starts demanding payment in currency backed by gold & silver. |
Iraqi officials outraged by U.S. raid in prime minister's hometown:
Meanwhile, on the so-called news sites: Clinton and Obama Set New Tone (start scatting in B flat, Bill joined in on the sax) California man gets prison for burning Burning Man (very important to know about this!) |
update 6/25: OK I've moved the whole site to a different server where it has a longer life expectancy. so if you are into such things, please post / comment / repeat / enjoy!
<--- I was informed today that this blog has only about a week to live, if that. Apparently the server space is needed for something newer, shinier, and more important. I doubt anyone will miss it, although I've been enjoying the convenience of the blogroll links. Ah well, such is life... --->

So his loyalty to the truth propelled him to write a book? Ok.
RIGHT?! That's what I was thinking too! The Scott I knew would NEVER in a MILLION years tell the truth!!
So he had time to have the book "described" to him, but no time to emit a comment? I'd guess the truth is that his comment is not fit for mixed company! LOL, more pressing matters... Like catapulting propaganda with the use of the word "retreat" to describe the only sane option in Iraq? How about instead of commenting on the book, answering to the allegations?
Hey! What happened to your loyalty to the truth, Scottie? -njt |
Just read an interesting story over at Raw; http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Conyers_subpoenas_Karl_Rove_0522.html This particular line caught my eye:
I need to look into this more but, being a fan of "the journalism" my first question of this "journalist" is "According to whom or supported by what?" Is it simply Pete Williams opinion? Did someone whisper in his ear, telling him to say this? Ah now things are coming into focus a little; http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3689493/
To me, this is the crux of the matter: "the Justice Department most likely won't enforce the subpoena" (said the Cheney aid who poses as a reporter). Well, what the F@#$ good are subpoenas if they won't be enforced? |
