Not sure how much actual "rioting" was done.

/seemed to be a lot of running away from the police and chanting from the hippie hymnal

11 Dianna  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 9:05:17pm

I'm listening to the webcam operators making party arrangements. Worse, I'm listening to the less intelligent protestors trying to sing Bohemian Raphsody.

I find this more worrying than anything else I've heard.

12 Dream  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 9:06:38pm

This protester violence isn't they type of organizing Obama knew apparently. Didn't take them real long to community organize...I mean rabble rouse. Hope you are same Zombie. Curious what group started the riot and over what (well assuming there was a reason...moonbats generally don't always need one).

Bohemian Raphsody cannot be done by anyone other than Freddie and the boys. End of story. If you try you will look stoopid.

It's bad enough the times I've waded into the swamps of these pinheads as they marched in Hollywood - but at a national convention, there's a whole new level of danger with these haters and fascists.

Stay safe and stay anonymous.

Above and beyond, Zombie. Kudos for the escape!

22 scrat  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 9:08:29pm

With the low protester turnouts, Zombie's going to be in danger of having his/her cover blown. Zombie may very well be the only attendee other than the "organizers" of some of these events...

OT: Dateline Bangkok: Eyewitness report:
Thai police blocked off most major arteries leading into the government-heavy 'Old Bangkok' section of Bangkok, in anticipation of violence at this morning's PPP (Pathetic Power-Pukes) anti-democracy protest.

Schools were closed abruptly just minutes before morning classes, and around 11,000 hysterically laughing children were sent home bitterly cursing their good fortune.

More as it happens. I can't live-blog it, sorry, but it seems to be made of the same stuff as the Demwax Convention.

Zombie,

Perhaps you should get with the Liazdoid Army MilWing to devise a nice extraction strategy. I don't think they have any helicopters, but I think they have a bunch of motorcycles, but then again...

52 Walter L. Newton  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 9:18:11pm

It looks like they are holding just a small group in the foyer of the City Center building and processing them very slowly. The cops are probably going into golden time on their houly salary.

OT - as I said on the prior thread, I'm sure glad that zombie got out of that ok and hope the eye wasn't damaged by the pepper spray!

However, Mom watched O'Reilly tonight and he mentioned the Billy Ayers ad and said that Fox had decided not to air it. According to Mom, O'Reilly looked thoroughly disgusted with Fox for not airing it and said something to the effect that he'd seen it and it was accurate so he didn't quite understand Fox's decision.
Bucks, O'Reilly, Bucks. Pure and simple. If Fox had aired it, they would have lost their credentials to the convention. I know, I know, some of us think that would be an exceedingly small price to pay for a free press to pay, but apparently Fox doesn't feel that way.

Mrs. Malkin's such a tiny thing - I can't help worrying about her - but she did have at least one big guy with her. Alex Jones is a horse's rear end, and I'm just glad the crowd didn't take the bait and cause someone harm.

Unfortunately, I think you are right on the money. It will have the opposite effect - just like in 1968 - which will cause only more frustration and seething.

One would think that with their desire for communism and fascism, they would just move to Cuba or Venezuela and enjoy the tropic sunshine. At some point, it will be clear that they have crossed the line from dissent and protected speech to sedition.

Thank you Michele...you have really confused the wingers now. Can't wait to hear how in God's green earth they will accuse you of not being patriotic now!

If the MSM plays clips of her and Teddy
and skips the rest, we win. No matter how they comment on it.

I am not ashamed when I say that I am tearing up watching and listening to Michelle speech. It was one of the greatest political speeches after "I have a Dream". Period

I wonder if Cindy McCain will start her speech (about how she met John like this: "When I was screwing John behind his disabled wifes back, I knew he was a man of integrity and character......"

Hey, anyone know what day the new Black Hole maker goes on line at CERN?

Tests will continue into September to ensure that the entire machine is ready to accelerate and collide beams at an energy of 5 TeV per beam, the target energy for 2008. Force majeure notwithstanding, the LHC will see its first circulating beam on 10 September at the injection energy of 450 GeV (0.45 TeV).

Once stable circulating beams have been established, they will be brought into collision, and the final step will be to commission the LHC’s acceleration system to boost the energy to 5 TeV, taking particle physics research to a new frontier.

We get to live to at least the end of the year. ;-P

Other memories of '68:
I have an ex NYPD friend (6' 5" and 240 lbs.) that used to do the "riot control" thing and at the Columbia U. takeover back in the 60's he said his post had him standing next to Mark Rudd (sp ?) 60's a**hole agitator/trouble maker extraordinaire. During downtime "they shot the sh*t" here and there and at one point they had even agreed to take turns bringing the coffee & donuts when one or the other got a break to go wash up etc.My friend said they were getting along pretty good (outwardly) but just as things were getting really warm and fuzzy he took the opportunity to remind Rudd (with a smile on his face) "just don't forget, if and when all hell breaks loose, I'm still going to crack your fuckin' skull". I wished so badly that someone had snapped a pic. of Rudds face at that very moment ! It would have been priceless !

Is it a good idea for McCain to announce his VP thursday or friday?

Friday. It is also his birthday. I think that Thursday would be a mistake on his part.

244 Fat Jolly Penguin  Mon, Aug 25, 2008 10:05:55pm

A strategery memo I just received from the McCain campaign:

TO: Interested Parties
FROM: Sarah Simmons, Director of Strategy
RE: Obama's Convention Bounce
DATE: August 22, 2008

Monday marks the beginning of the Democratic National Convention in Denver. A combination of factors makes this particular convention historic on many levels. Democrats have just completed an incredibly compelling primary cycle that has both energized and divided the Democratic Party. Because of the unique nature of the Democratic primary, we believe Obama will receive a significant bump from his convention.

This cycle mirrors Bill Clinton's Democratic convention in 1992: A historic 16-point bump. Barack Obama is more similarly situated to Bill Clinton in 1992 than any other candidate in recent history. Bill Clinton was a new candidate on the national scene; he was running in a "change" oriented election cycle and the economy was voters' top issue -- a dynamic he was able to capitalize on. He received a 16-point bump coming out of his convention. Obama is also a "new" candidate in a change-oriented environment. And, like Bill Clinton, he will spend the convention presenting himself as the agent of change who will fix the economy.

Obama will ride his VP bump. In addition to Obama taking advantage of the political environment, he will announce his Vice Presidential candidate late this week. This announcement typically gives a candidate a 5-point temporary bump that dissipates. However, Obama's timing allows him to maximize his Vice Presidential bump and sustain press attention for the course of the week. He will ride the wave of an announcement from late this week (announcement expected by Saturday) through his speech on Thursday. This means that whatever bump he gains from the announcement has the potential to be lasting.

Obama will correct his underperformance with Hillary Clinton's primary voters and emerge with a much more cohesive base. This convention gives Obama a platform to unite his base. There continues to be a divide in the Democratic base: Between 10-15% of Democrats are voting for McCain or sitting on the fence. In target states, that number is even higher, between 15-20% in many surveys. The Obama campaign knows that winning or losing in states like Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania depends on Obama's ability to bring these voters home. If his convention successfully showcases Hillary Clinton and heals the wounds from the primary, he will move large groups of voters in those key places.

Obama's stadium address on Thursday -- the 45th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech -- will result in effusive and overwhelming press coverage. On Thursday, Obama will give a great speech, as has been his trademark. The press will sing his praises and remark on his historic address and Obama's place in history. For example, The Associated Press today published an article comparing the historic nature of the addresses - a week before Obama's speech. This coverage will be impenetrable and will undoubtedly impact the polls.

We believe Obama will see a significant bump, and believe it is reasonable to expect nearly a 15-point bounce out of a convention in this political environment.

As if you need another reason to vote McCain. For the life of me, I hope she's wrong.

Good night, Lizards.

Joe Scarborough was pretty much saying that the campaign has turned. McCain's campaign is more focused and has a message, etc. That's when Olbermann said "Jesus Joe get a shovel" when he thought he was off mic. Scarborough stopped his thought and was like "get a shovel?" And Olbermann rambled off some numbers saying that McCain was not really in the race. And, Scarborough responded but Olbermann's mic seemed to be off at that point. Chris Matthews then took over and just dropped it.

You can tell Jones is used to using his "bulk" and voice to bully people; usually people like that, when they don't get their way, go over the top and get physical.
Mark my words my friend, at some point Jones is either gonna get killed by someone he stepped over the verbal line with, or will wind up in jail for the rest of his life.

Did I hear that right ? Not that he hasn't said this stuff before but this isn't some off the cuff interview or mid morning press conference that no one sees anyhow - this is a rather large forum with a mic/PA system and TV cameras all over. Makes me sick to think of any of our brave service people having to hear this garbage ! Sure you can turn the channel - but thats after the remark is heard/made.You couldn't pay me to watch. I'm just combing the pages here hoping to see a major catastrophe thread such as an uncontrollable flatulence attack hitting any one of them mid speech or some major gaff that will make it to youtube for a weeks worth of laughs.

re: #304 rawmuse
From your link:

Obama and Ayers also live in the same South Side neighborhood. When Obama first ran for office, Ayers held an event for him at his home.


That's not true - Ayers held a fundraising event in '07 when Obama decided to run for POTUS and while it was in Billy Ayers house, which he shares with the ever so lovely Bernadine Dohrn, most press reports refer to it as a "Mansion" and Ayers raised something like 2.9 million bucks for Obama.

Whoa! Just found this...

Cindy McCain to visit distressed Georgia

Aug 25, 8:19 PM (ET)

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - John McCain told a crowd at a fundraiser that his wife is on her way to the embattled nation of Georgia, an announcement coming just hours before Barack Obama's wife makes a high-profile speech at the Democratic National Convention.

McCain told a crowd that wife, Cindy, was to accompany him on the California swing and he apologized for her absence.

"Cindy is not here today, and I'm sorry she's not," said McCain. "She's on her way to the little country of Georgia."

He did not say why his wife was traveling there nor the precise nature of her visit.

Cindy McCain frequently does charity work overseas. Earlier this year, she traveled to Kosovo with Halo Trust, the international mine-removal group, and to Vietnam with Operation Smile, which provides surgery for children born with cleft palates, as the McCains' daughter Bridget was.

McCain has been a staunch supporter of Georgia in that nation's clash with Russia, and his wife's trip there serves to underscore his commitment. It also could deflect attention from Michelle Obama's convention speech in Denver as the Obama campaign seeks to introduce the family to voters.

In his speech to the fundraiser, McCain didn't mention Mrs. Obama's speech, but he did give the 500 people attending the event something of a history lesson.

"Georgia was one of the first Christian nations," McCain said. "Georgia, back in the Third Century, the king of Georgia converted to Christianity. You see churches there that date back to the Fourth and Fifth Century."

McCain said it's important to support Georgia because it's a democracy, but also because key oil pipelines run through the country.

re: #315 Racer X Hey there my friend! Hope you're well tonight! Actually while the records are coming out or being released, it will take time for reporters and other interested persons to go through them and report on them.
I expect nothing at all that would point any fingers at anyone - they are, for the most part, simply minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors.
The real "meat" in those papers, if there is any, is the tight connection between Billy Ayer and Obama.
And THAT'S why the Obama campaign has brought enormous pressure to bear on FOX and either CNN or CNBC, not to air the commercial I linked to in #328 above. And both of them caved in to that pressure. I suspect Cognito is reviewing the ad now, but I've watched it three times, and - having lived through those days as an adult, I can honestly say that everything in that ad is true. It tells of Ayers' history in the SDS Weather Underground and of his desire to have blown up more buildings and of his close ties to Obama. Those papers should show those close ties and the godddamn media should play that ad.

Yep, I agree. It's NOT good for Obama, but it is truthful. Ayers WAS one of the founders of the SDS Weather Underground, it did declare war on the United States, it did bomb buildings that led to one man's death and another's blindness (which the ad doesn't mention because while all the evidence points to Ayer's wife, Dohrn, she was cleared of the charges against her) and there is no doubt at all that Obama and Ayers are buddies - well insofar as the word "buddies" can be used with either one of them.

LOL! Hi ya LEE! Listen up he'ah - I was in fact born in North Carolina and I'm telling you that "Y'all" can be used to refer to the singular and the plural, but proper Souteners use Y'all only in the singular and "All Y'all" for the plural!
So y'all go shush yo mouth!

You may have been born there, but you didn't live there long enough to learn "the language." You said yourself that you grew up in NY and lived most of your life there... college at NYU, etc. ...then moved back. I understand that you really want to "talk right" down here, but someone's told you wrong. "Y'all" is plural. "All y'all" is plural with meaning... as in "don't make me pick up that shotgun!" Get it right, yank, or shut YO mouth!

Alex Jones is probably the most evil and depraved well-known person who has never been accused of murder.

Among not so well-known folk, my brother Judas (whose real name is Dan) takes the title. He is an adulterer, traitor, kidnapper, perjuror, and satan-class liar and hypocrite, since he is also a Baptist deacon and publicly outspoken Bible thumper.
He is not really that anonymous, come to think of it, since he is a widely known laughingstock in Texas. Unfortunately he lives in Massachusetts, where the community is blissfully unaware of his background and family history.

The family is divided into two groups, those who speak to him and those who speak to me. The greatest tragedy of my life is that my older daughter JJ is among the former, since her mother (aka Jabba the Slutt or Jezebel), is married to Judas, a relationship that started while the strumpet was married to me. (Yes, you read that right, the traitor was boffing his own brother's wife.)

JJ was a toddler when her mother left me and absconded with the traitor. They managed to keep her away from me for 15 years, in defiance of numerous courts, then perjured themselves so Judas could adopt her illegally, and quite literally brainwashed her to think this creepy arrangement was my fault.
JJ has never discussed it with me, not once, nor shown any interest in hearing my side of the story. My mother promised to set her straight but she never kept that promise and I am estranged from my mom as well.
For her part, JJ is now 31 years old and has two children. I saw one of these grandchildren when he was a baby but I have never seen the other. My younger daughter, who is 25 now and who had a different mother, has never met her half-sister. Daughter #2 is devoted to me and once called JJ a "heartless little bitch" when she didn't think I was listening.

Excuse me for venting, but damn them and all like them through the entire world and all of human history. So, you see, I have no trouble believing that evil is a living reality.

re: #344 tradewind As I said somewhere up above (damn meds have finally kicked in!) there is indeed a TV commercial which VERY BRIEFLY but VERY ACCURATELY tells the story of Obama and Ayers. And the Obama Campaign has threated MSM TV outlets from playing that ad (link for which is in my #328) with everything from the campaign notifying ALL of the sponsors of each of those who air it not to do so and in the case at least of Fox, unconfirmed rumors from a usually reliable and completely honest source, namely my Mom, Fox was threatened with having it's credentials pulled for the convention.
Oh, yes, Ayers and Obama are tight and Ayers who is still unrepenatant about what they did and if fact has been qouted as saying he wished they had succeded at blowing up more building as recently as '07 or '08, did in fact give a fundraiser at Billy and Bernadine Dhorns MANSION in Chicago last year and raised over $2.9 million bucks for Obama.
And Ayers will refuse to go under anybodies goddamn bus.

Now that scares me. It's clear already, proven time and again, that Obama moves swiftly to suppress any speech that is -- not wrong, or slanderous -- but simply doesn't make him happy.

I can't imagine the damage he could do to the First Amendment as President.

I know the First Amendment takes a lot of beating from some folks around here, usually as pertaining to the media, but this is where the abstract begins to become real -- we may soon arrive at a place where the First Amendment is threatened.

I hope the mainstream media hasn't been so eviscerated, at this point, in finances and will, that they won't stand up to this.

In the decades since, Biden voted to authorize the war, but long ago became one of the Senate’s surest critics of the conflict. Ironically, perhaps, his son, Beau, attorney general of Delaware, is due to spend a tour of duty in Iraq beginning this fall with his National Guard unit.

We do have a volunteer military. Ironic.

Excerpt from the Charleston Post & Courier…
It was Biden’s second try for the White House. The first ended badly in 1988 when he was caught lifting lines from a speech by British Labor Party leader Neil Kinnock.

re: #357 Cognito I hope so Cog, I truly do. The relationship between Obama and Ayers is a very telling one, indeed and one that the voters ought to know about.
However, Obama's campaign has asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether or not those ads violate the Federal Elections Laws and the DOJ may get some kinda injunction prohibiting the airing of the ad unti it resolves the Election law issue.
Which is another reason to give big SHOUT OUT to CHARLES for airing it several days ago.

I thunk the most dangerous phrase is "We're from the gummint, and we're here to HEP you!"

/whoa! :D

In a "Democrapic response" to a Reagan SOTU Address, then-House Speaker Jim Wright once actually uttered the phrase,

We... we jus' wanna heeelllp yoo.

And exactly like that, too, with an exaggerated drawl. Rush Limbaugh used to play that sound clip a lot back when his show first started, and I'm quite certain many, if not most people who heard it were immediately reminded of your "most dangerous phrase".

From reading the news on Fox and Drudge, you don't even catch a whiff of riot. ('Course there are other more pungent obstacles there.)

Could we consider it negligent reporting by the major media, or was this really just a brief downwind of a hippy puff of breeze?

re: #445 LeePro

CN Tower is the largest free standing building (I think, might have changed recently). It's that huge tower on the Toronto skyline. CN stands for Canadian National Railway. Yes I know the R is not part of the acronym, but trust me it's implied.

Canadian National....one of the transcontinetal railways in Canada. They've also taken over a number of railways 'South of the Border', i.e. Illinois Central; Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range; Wisonsin Central; Elgin, Joilet & Eastern; Bessemer & Lake Erie....although this was long after CN Tower was built.

Not really, at night at the top of the hour it goes through a light show. I think I was a little to close to get it properly. As well my camera is more toy than camera. Does the job for somethings adequately. But night video is not one of them. I have a better video, but I think I need some better software than Windows Moviemaker to edit it.

re: #451 BlueCanuck

CV stood for Central Vermont- their mainline from Connecticut to Montreal was more or less right across the river from where I grew up (I grew up much closer to Boston & Maine's E. Deerfield railway yard and the line between Springfield, MA and E. Deerfield).The CV was something CN sold off in the early 1990s to RailTex/RailAmerica and is now the New England Central. They still have two 'paper' subsidiaries- the Grand Trunk Western and Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific, but they've always been operated more or less as wholly owned subsidiaries of Canadian National for as long as I've been around.

Lightning strikes are always awesome. In Coastal Georgia, the weather map will be solid yellow from the sheer number of strikes. I have always been impressed by the large purplish ball resulting from a strike on a pole or tree as well as the simultaneous thunder clap.

Ok, it's hit the fan in Denver:

Demonstrations turn violent at night (updated at 1:07 MDT, 38 minutes ago)

A day of relative quiet that had observers wondering what happened to the large demonstrations expected in Denver this week turned violent Monday night as police fired pepper balls and pepper spray at protesters.

Police dressed in riot gear and wearing gas masks clashed with scores of people who refused to leave a one-block stretch of 15th Street near Civic Center Park.

Police made 91 arrests. No serious injuries were reported.

The event started in Civic Center Park around 7 p.m. as protesters gathered for an unpermited event designed to "Disrupt the DNC," as a series of anarchist protests organized by Unconventional Denver have been labeled. (emphasis added)

I took that series of pics in in Mar 1968 when I was awaiting for my transport back to the US. I had just completed a year upcountry at Udorn RTAFB at Udon Thani, Thailand. My first, but not last trip, to Thailand.

Are the local drivers still insane or have they moderated their driving habits? Taking a taxi was an adventure in itself.

I have more pics to add as I find the ones I have already scanned or rescan them.

I doubt that I would recognize any of the places I had spent time at after all this time.

Might want to keep those helmets at the ready; shoes, boots, scandals--toss-in some anvils to keep things moving--are going to be dropping about: Afghan gov't seeks review of international troops

Amid allegations that large numbers of civilians have died in recent raids and airstrikes by foreign forces, President Hamid Karzai's government has demanded a review of the presence of U.S. and NATO troops in the country.

The government Monday ordered its foreign affairs and defense ministries to review the presence of foreign troops, regulate their presence with a status of forces agreement and negotiate a possible end to "air strikes on civilian targets, uncoordinated house searches and illegal detention of Afghan civilians."

The harshly worded statement appears to be aimed at both international forces operating in Afghanistan: the U.S.-led coalition, which conducts special forces counterterrorism operations and trains the fledgling Afghan army and police, and the U.N.-mandated NATO-led force tasked to provide security for the war-ravaged nation.

Capt. Mike Windsor, a spokesman for the NATO-led force, said they have seen media reports but have not received "any official notification so far."

Next in the que: Lebanon(?) Although it wouldn't take too very much to stir-up some real lively sheet-storms in, say, Turkey or maybe Egypt - just kinda nudge them over the brink.

I was in Montevideo, Uruguay when Pinochet was arrested in the UK. Granted Pinochet wasn't an Uruguayan leader, but the press in Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay took notice because it could easily be one of their ex-leaders put under arrest the next time they set foot on British or European soil. It was a pretty sensetive subject in Argentina as well, since many of the junta members from the Dirty War were still alive and some were worried such a move would be akin to poking a hornets nest in.

By the time I got back to Santiago, there was mostly sparodic protests in front of the British embassy...nobody outraged enough to try and seize power from the current governments.

Man sentenced to 60 days for hate crime, assault
He threatened Jewish teens after 2007 traffic altercation in Lincolnwood
Tribune staff report
11:25 PM CDT, July 30, 2008
A Chicago man was sentenced to 60 days in jail and 2 years of probation Wednesday after he was found guilty last month of threatening three Jewish teenagers with a gun and calling them anti-Semitic slurs during a 2007 confrontation in Lincolnwood.

John Fiorentino, 21, of the 2300 block of Chase Avenue in Chicago, told the court his actions after a traffic altercation with the three teenagers were "wrong and stupid of me."

Last month a jury found Fiorentino guilty of a felony hate crime and misdemeanor assault for pointing a gun at the three teenagers and yelling anti-Semitic slurs. No one was hurt.

"I did not point that … gun at those kids because they were Jewish, but because I was angry," Fiorentino said.

Yeah, I work with people who look normal, and act normal, and wouldn't dream of hanging with these tattooed, pierced freaks in Denver, but are nevertheless insane. Or maybe just insanely ignorant and misguided, basing their worldview off false premises. Ignorant of history, ignorant of economics, etc.

Y'know how Pelosi 3 or 4 times repeated on TV that she didn't know natural gas is a fossil fuel? You would think, if you pointed this out to a Democrat, mentioning that Pelosi has enormous influence on our nation's energy policy, that person would say, "What a maroon! I'm embarassed that this person is a Democrat. I hope she gets voted out of office." But in reality, that person would probably share Pelosi's ignorance and...instead of admitting this ignorance and learning a new thing...would be ANGRY with you for inadvertently making himself or herself aware of his or her ignorance, and would lash out at you.

I love Pixar's movies, so I'm looking forward to seeing it.

The great thing about them is that they realized that an adult has to take the child to the movie, so they put in dialogue (double entendres, references to things adults would get) to make it intersting for adults. One that always stood out for me was in Toy Story, when the Mr Potato Head character had his facial features all re-arranged he said "hey look ,,, I'm a Picasso" . My son had no idea what it meant (he was about 5 at the time) but I howled!

From a Denver Post story on the confrontation:

"I'm a little in shock," said Joey-Kenzie, 21, of Denver, after spending about 90 minutes in the crowd of people pinned in by officers in SWAT gear.

Kenzie said she wanted to leave but police had surrounded the group and there was no way out.

"At one point we didn't know what we were going to do, we were going to get arrested or maced," said the recent Community College of Denver graduate.

Kenzie said police never asked for her identification.

"I haven't been able to vote for a president yet, but this was an epiphany," she said. "My freedom of speech was suppressed."

Poor little thing. Just out for a quiet "direct action march" and she falls victim to the Evil Establishment.

Look at the positive side, kid. You've managed to create a situation (and consequences) which confirms the victim image you'd developed about yourself. Most of us are assailed by doubts. You can now go through life KNOWING that you're right.

Whatever happened to "fair and balanced"?

Former President Jimmy Carter, said that the Bush administration "ignored the plight" of the victims of Hurricane Katrina for three years-- I would like to remind 'Jimmy' that Democrats governed the Katrina area before the storm, during the storm and after the storm. If Katrina is an example of Democrat leadership, may God have mercy on our America if they take the presidency and still control congress.

IMHO it is because rioting is relatively easy to do while actual freedom of speech, which requires one to first form and then coherently articulate an opinion in (at least) semi-grammatical English sentences, is simply too much mental effort for the average pot-fogged moonbat brain to even contemplate.

re: #665 godfrey

McCain's ads have been crushing Obama's by a very large margin. Similar to his complete out-classing of Obama at (for Obama) the Saddleback Debacle. McCain's team is doing very well.

This one hits it right out of the ball park. I still want to see that Ayers ad though. The one Obama is trying to keep TV stations from playing.

I agree. When I heard that McCain said no negative ads against Obama and then heard about Obama raising $150m or some unthinkable number, I admit I lost heart. I think McCain got mad enough at the fawning media coverage (that he was used to) to unleash his media people, thank God.

Here's a wrap up of the incident at Civic Center that Zombie managed to experience "close up."

It seems that the protestors were headed for the 16th Street Mall, a popular shopping, dining and clubbing street that cuts through most of downdown Denver, from east to west. The cops were ready for them and cut them off at the Civic Center corner as you may have seen on the live cam.

[Link: www.denverpost.com...]

Headed downtown for another doc appointment. There won't be much going on this early, but if I see anything fun to report, I'll post later.

I am going to try to find out what time Al-Jareeza will be filming their symposium at the Buffalo Rose bar in Golden on Wed. I suspect I am going to try to get into the event, or at least view it from the street. It's suspose to be located on their "back porch" which is an outside beer garden. Unless Golden blocks off the whole street, I should be able to stand by on the sidewalk.

Spence look at it this way.

In Sept and Oct McCain will have 84 million/42 million a month. That is twice what he raised on his own.
Plus the RNC is outraising the DNC about 10 to 1

He will actually have twice as much money in the last two months to spend as he has had so far.
All he has to do is campaign.

Obama on the other hand has to campaign and fundraise.

And another thing to keep in mind. Obama outspent Hillary 10:1 in those last 6 or 8 states and she still took most of them. During the month of July Obama spent more on just one ad than John McCain did on his entire campaign - and he lost a 15 point lead. They are in a statistical dead heat. Even with the convention going on. Despite a news corps that runs 3 stories about Obama for every one about McCain.

There have been dozens if not hundreds of incursions across the border by the Mexican Military who provide those cartels with logistic support and security. There have also been numerous firefights between the Mexican Military and US border Patrol agents.

By the time the Republican Convention gets over, I believe that most people who watch it will understand that Obama just is not ready or experienced enough to lead.

McCain has a VERY compelling life story, one which will resonate with Americans.
And once people hear it in it's entirety, I can assure you most will say "who cares how many frikkin houses he has, this guy is a leader!"

Good morning, lizards.

Just took a peek at the vile, mysogenistic comments from so called "conservatives" over at Alex Jones' site.... I really wish I hadn't. These people are hate-filled ranters, absolute scum - and Alex Jones is so far to the right that his ass is hanging out in the wind.

I disagree with Michelle Malkin on a number of issues, but this was very clearly a case of assault and I hope that Ms. Malkin presses charges. If she doesn't, Jones' "kill Michelle Malkin" goons are going to track her wherever she goes and take up the ball where he left off. The result could be tragic.

Glad you were able to get out of there in one piece, Zombie.
Looking forward to your report!

Charlie Wilson's Freudian slip

Divisions among Texans in Denver are obvious, but Charlie Wilson brings 'em together

Although Mr. Wilson has been ill, he stood ramrod straight, his hair dark, his suit immaculate. He spoke passionately how the war’s central focus should be Afghanistan, much like his character in the movie.

For a moment, Charlie Wilson channeled Tom Hanks channeling Charlie Wilson. But then, as his voice rose in a call for new leadership, he flubbed his line.

“We should be led by Osama bin Laden,” he said, then quickly corrected himself. “I mean, Obama and Biden.”

People laughed, but it was OK. Whatever their differences, they were all Texas Democrats, and as usual, Charlie Wilson won over the whole crowd.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Day 1 of the DNC is under the belt, and what have we learned so far?

The Obamas don't seem to have a problem using their kids as props. Again.

Ted Kennedy looks pretty good and probably was in better shape than he's been in years despite the cancer treatment.

Hope and change will not come easily to the DNC as the protesters took to the streets and back room deals are already underway to thwart a floor vote.

Meanwhile, Obama is trying to block ads highlighting his ties to Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground terrorists. Never mind that everything in the ads is true, accurate, and verifiable. He doesn't want people to know that he associates with terrorists and considered them mainstream.

And we'll hopefully find out today what's in the UofI archives on the Ayers-Obama front with the release of documents on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.

Russian threat to Nato supply route in Afghanistan

Russia played a trump card in its strategic poker game with the West yesterday by threatening to suspend an agreement allowing Nato to take supplies and equipment to Afghanistan through Russia and Central Asia.

The agreement was struck at a Nato summit in April to provide an alternative supply route to the road between the Afghan capital and the Pakistani border, which has come under attack from militants on both sides of the frontier this year.

The Great Game is on again. (Was it ever off?)

Country ordered to pay damages for sailor's suicide

TOKYO (Reuters) - The Japanese government will have to pay damages to the parents of a sailor who hanged himself after being repeatedly insulted by his superior, in the first such court ruling involving a civil servant, media said.

The Fukuoka High Court in southern Japan ordered 3.5 million yen ($32,000) be paid to the parents of the petty officer third class, a court spokesman said, declining to give further details.

Kyodo news agency said the court recognized that the sailor's suicide had been caused by depression, a result of stress accumulated from insults such as: "You are not qualified as a petty officer third class" and "Are you dumb?"

The sailor had been 21 when he committed suicide aboard a destroyer in 1999, it said.

A lower court had ruled in the government's favor, saying the remarks from the sailor's superior had fallen within the scope of training, Kyodo added.

"It is disappointing that the court did not understand the state's claim," an official at the defense ministry quoted Vice Defence Minister Kohei Masuda as telling a news conference.

North Korea to suspend nuclear disablement

North Korea said on Tuesday it will stop disabling its nuclear facilities and consider restoring the Yongbyon reactor that can make material for atomic bombs, accusing the United States of violating a disarmament deal.

NoKo is complaining the US reneged on a promise to remove them from the list of terrorist regimes. The US is insisting on the right to verify progress before delisting NoKo.

Up till now, about 70% of the supplies to the NATO mission in Af'stan come through Pakistan. The rest is by air or overland from central Asia. If things get worse in Pakistan, & all indications are they will, then the route to Af'stan gets more expensive. The US could airlift in everything, but that costs a heck of a lot over time. Russia had agreed to allow shipment across their territory, now they are suspending the agreement. Tit-for-tat.

Yes indeed.

Reasonable, rational people who have never had issues with race can see the manipulative race-baiting of black American liberals in full flower. They can see how the Obama camp uses accusations of "racism" to shut down dissention and opposing opinion, supress factual evidence, and intimidate the MSM... and they're starting to become very angry and vocal about it.

I have no sympathy for Obama. He learned his lessons about old-style Chicago politics very well in smokey back rooms and anti-American black churches of Chicago as a young politician... this is a shameful and highly calculated political strategy on his part. He knows exactly what he is doing.

And it's a sorry shame that there are so many decent black Americans who are allowing themselves to be manipulated by this ambitious, egotistical shyster.

I thank zombie too, but zombie got pepper sprayed in the eye last evening, so I'm not so sure zombie's enjoying this event quite as much as we enjoy looking at those photos!
Hope zombie's eye is ok.

John Edwards, your political career is ovah.

Report: Edwards' Call for Forgiveness Met with Rage Among Former Supporters

John Edwards' calls to former advisers asking forgiveness for lying about his affair have been met with rage, according to a report published Monday in The New York Daily News.

"It was kind of pathetic, to tell you the truth," an ex-aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the paper. The aide reportedly said he has no intention of returning Edwards' call.

The former presidential candidate admitted Aug. 8 that he had an affair with one of his campaign staff members, Rielle Hunter, in 2006 when his wife Elizabeth's cancer was in remission.

Edwards — who is noticeably absent from the Democratic National Convention that began Monday in Denver — is said to be making phone calls to his former supporters, saying, "I let you down, and I'm sorry," the Post reports.

One former assistant told the paper that he ending his conversation with Edwards abruptly, telling the former North Carolina senator, "I don't want you to call me again."...

Can't we raise fund to send them to North Korea? I'd really love for them to have the educational experience of finding out what a "military state" really is.
