Join Rudy 2008
In case anybody was worried, yes, you can still contribute to Rudy Giuliani’s 2008 Presidential campaign.
Remember back when...
Remember back when Joe Lieberman was the vice presidential candidate in 2000? Isn’t that fucked up?

I’m sorry, but how do come into work one morning and all of a sudden, “We profited $997 million in the 3rd quarter? Wow, what a pleasant surprise!” ?
Seriously, does anybody know anyone who bought a Ford? Even my parents are smarter than that.
Barack Obama, the US president, has signed into law a $680bn defence budget for the next fiscal year… “I have always rejected the notion that we have to waste billions of dollars of taxpayer money to keep this nation secure,” Obama said at the signing ceremony.
Our annual defense budget is $680 billion dollars… and the country is haggling over healthcare reform that will cost around $900 billion dollars OVER 10 YEARS!
Norm Coleman would have handled this exchange so much better.

Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine is joining a group of bands including REM, Pearl Jam, and Nine Inch Nails who are filing a lawsuit to de-classify documents relating to how music was used to torute inmates at the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
“Guantanamo is known around the world as one of the places where human beings have been tortured - from waterboarding to stripping, hooding and forcing detainees into humiliating sexual acts - playing music for 72 hours in a row at volumes just below that to shatter the eardrums,” Morello said.
Meanwhile, John Ondrasik, lead singer for the band Five For Fighting, is filing a similar lawsuit through the Freedom of Information Act to find out if his band was used at Guantanamo, and if so, if anyone down there wanted any of the promo CDs, T-shirts, or autographed 8x10s that are cluttering up his garage.
Yes, I am single…laaaaaaaadies….
David Barsamian of Alternative Radio at my neighbor’s house after a showing of Robert Greenwald’s new film, Rethink Afghanistan.
The film horrifying, like any great documentary should be, and helped put into perspective that we (you, me, most Americans, most people in the government) just don’t know shit about the country, about the people, about the culture, about the Taliban.
The “2 options” being floated by President Obama are both inherently flawed. If we increase troops (by 40,000 or any other number), we become an occupier (or even more so) and thus inflame the Taliban (and Afghani) resistance. If we decrease troop levels and use more unmanned drone bombing attacks (as Vice President Biden is suggesting), we will inevitably kill more innocent civilians, which is the one of the main reasons most Afghanis join the Taliban or other resistance movements (another major reason is that it’s the only way to make a living).
According to the film, it costs $800,000 a year for a single soldier to be deployed in Afghanistan.
It’s inevitable that we’re going to lose, our only chance to save what little face we can is to remove ourselves immediately, and to do that the President needs to at least acknowledge that as an option.
