April Fools! Oh, wait, that is tomorrow...then again, the Liberal radio experiment started today, so maybe it came a day early. Ask Mallberta, who had the...pleasure?...of listening today (Liberal Radio doesn't reach this neck of the woods yet, so it isn't like I had a chance to listen while working.) Quick softball update; my team (the Lions) has jumped to a 3-1 start, winning the first 2 games by scores of 22-11, and 12-1, losing the third game 15-1, and winning last night 14-2. Your humble host is currently hitting at a .667 average, with 6 hits in 9 at-bats, one base on balls, 3 runs batted in and 1 run scored. Anyway, let's get this show on the road.

- To all you Libs: sorry, but tonight I have to suspend for one day my moratorium on articles by Ann Coulter. The lovely and talented Miss Coulter gives us tonight a clear timeline that tracks exactly how the 9-11 attacks came together. A must-read.

- Mark Goldblatt writes about Condoleeza Rice and her upcoming unprecedented testimony before the 9/11 Commission. He reminds Liberals to be careful what you wish for (or demand), you just might get it.

- Jacob Laskin writes in The American Spectator, that the American electorate likes to have a good laugh, which explains why Ronald Reagan was so likeable, and why the Bush WMD-joke non-controversy has gone nowhere. In the meantime, Kerry's attempts at humor are...well...hmmm...what was that thing my mum said..."if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say a thing." Ok, I won't talk about Kerry's attempts at humor.

- Here's a Bonus...not only an oldie-but-goodie, but one written by someone from the Left! Ron Rosenbaum writes about his experiences with the Left after 9/11/01, but prior to the Iraqi Liberation of 2003. Another must-read.

- Could the Kerry campaign flop? Tony Blankley thinks it might, comparing it with such fiascos as the McGovern, Dukakis, Mondale, Stevenson and Dewey campaigns.

- Mort Kondracke says that to voters, the 2 1/2 years of decisive action since 9/11 by the Bush administration against terror and its sponsors will be more important than any inaction for the 7 1/2 months prior to 9/11...not to mention the 8 years of Clinton inaction.

- About the Liberal Radio network...Al Franken tells CBSNews.com (there, are you happy? I am using a liberal source) that it will take him 12 or 13 years to become good at preparing compelling shows. He needs to make sure he's still around in 12 or 13 years. In the meantime, I would suggest to you Liberals not to hold your breath...really.

- And, just because I feel extra nice tonight, here's your link to the Liberal radio network. One thing, though, the pictures are not for the faint of heart.

- Chris Tremoglie analyzes the Liberal Radio lineup.

- The Kerry campaign continuously accuses the Bush camp of "character assassination." Frank Salvato debunks this claim and sets the record straight.

Finally,

- I guess this one is supposed to scare Rupert Murdoch and the folks at Fox News. Algore is going to set up his own cable TV channel to compete with Fox News!

I give credit where credit is due...and you're due a lot of credit for putting up with even a minute of the Liberal radio network. :lol:

tag, so I can read and refute at another time. We (unfortuantly) have several conservative radio stations in Arizona. The worst being my favority hypocrite, Rush Limbaugh (sp?). Anyway, I'll try to make it back later, homework now.


Nice to see you again Pan

One would think that the reason we went for war wouldn't be the punchline of a joke. Even if he didn't lie and mislead the country it is still bad form to joke about such an intelligence failure. Normally I dont care about such things and I am never offended by a joke. It just seems to be in poor taste.

Good to see you too. Been a busy man the last 10 days, with 3 softball games (had to miss the second game last week) and a 3-day business roadtrip. Capitalism in action between Tuesday and Thursday of last week.

Good luck with the homework.

You have got to be kidding? She is neither lovely or talented.

Even Bill O'Reilly annoyed her with her spin on McCarthy being a great American.

She seems to think she is some kind of historian. She gets her "facts" wrong many times.

A favortie target is Carter and the hostages. I finished reading a book by one of the planners of the failed attack and a picture he painted is that Carter wanted a rescue mission but the Military did not have the equipment to respond quickly(this led to the rapid responce corps).

For all her liberal bashing, she seems to avoid bashing her buddy Bill Maher. In fact she defending him with O'Reilly suggested she had to attack him.

Sorry dude she is just an angry woman. He anger blinds her to reality more then once.


AL Gore on TV? Ewww now I have something to help me when I can't sleep at night! :lol:

RedArrow has, in fact, posted here. It's his usual blathering of mindless leftist soundbites. But I actually do enjoy it. Zeppistan, on the other hand, used to post here, but he stopped. A shame, because he always has thought-provoking posts...same as Mallberta and ocassionally Stephistan.

Right, back, at least for a bit.

Article 1: Okay, thats nice. But I notice how it never mentions anything good that the Democrats did, or, anything bad the republicans did. The article is discredited by the mere information it displays. If it were to show the totality of what happened during those various administrations, than it would be much clearer that while neither party is blameless, the democrats would have been the better of the two.

Article 2: The comission is bi-partisan so you can't accuse the democrats of forcing condi to testify. The comission is going through all of the DOD, Intel, and Admin personel they can to gain the whole photo. If Condi wasn't lying, then the testimony under oath will serve to boost here reputation, if she was lying, she's screwed. So, she should have no reason to fear the comission then, should she? Or Bush? He should have no reason to oppose it either, unless he's afraid of something leaking that is.

Article 3: True, Kerry isn't that funny. I think Bush would be fun to just talk with, but I disagree strongly with his politics. And thats what elections are, aren't they, politics. If it was based purley on humor, Will Ferrel might be Pres.

Article 4: Thats nice, unfortunatly, he's only dealing with the far far left, Marxism, Communism, that sort of thing. Basically, he crticises the ideologies that would never work. I myself happen to be a socialist, which I have defended (very well, I might add) against many a republican from my school. I think, overall, the author needs to look at what the American left actually is, and not the Marxist/Communist left.

Article 5: Okay, so, a few examples of Kerry acting like a normal human being and not a cold, distant, politically correct politician. Very nice. I think Kerry has made much more of an effort to reach the real American people than Bush has. Bush has catered to almost exclusivly the rich, while Kerry has gone out the middle class/lower class people. To me, that makes him more likeable than Bush.

More later, If I can, More Homework now. NS is addicting. . .I need help.
