Senator plans Net taxes but no Net neutrality | Tech News on ZDNet: "As network operators roll out more advanced broadband services, particularly video, they've argued that they should be able to finance those efforts by charging bandwidth-hogging content providers extra fees for the privilege of faster transmission or other preferential treatment. Net neutrality supporters say they're concerned such a practice would amount to unprecedented Internet 'gatekeeping' that could raise consumer costs and inhibit innovation, and they've called on Congress to legislate against it."

Goin' for a screwin'

Bush Bush Bush...

"Bush bears most of the blame. He equates his own short-term political interests with the nation's long-term interests."

Rice Warns Against Russian Gas Monopoly

These people are busy putting out fires that they started. And continue to start and flame. And we get burned. And the world gets burned.
It is obscene for Bush to take measures and sympathize with Americans on fuel prices.

Spelling It Like It Is

Spelling It Like It Is: "'Terrible lies have been told about the abilities of black folks, about what they could and couldn't do, and it was white folks who told those lies. Why is it not appropriate for a white person to tell the truth ?' "
All these years later, Fishburne reminds the auteur of a term in winemaking. " Terroir in wine, we call it," Coppola says. "When you drink a glass of wine, you know the earth it comes from. It's very specific, it has its own unique thing about it. There's soul and personality in it. He brings terroir to his work," says Coppola. "A thing that is uniquely him."

Why Globalization Has Stalled

"Argentina and Brazil have paid back their IMF loans early, and the loss of these large interest-paying clients has driven the IMF into a budget crisis."
And other gems like that. And how Bush, through Wolfowitz also screws trade.
Which, hey, all in all is a good thing: whatever Bush touches goes in the shitter. Hmmmmm.

makes sense to me. good sense.

Hey, don't have to prove god exists. just prove Jesus existed. Looks like a few early steps got missed.

Let's have a revolution! Does July 14 work for you? - Salon.com Life: "March 29, 2006 | I'm drawn to almost any piece of writing with the words 'divine love' and 'impeachment' in the first sentence. But I know the word 'divine' makes many progressive people run screaming for their cute little lives, and so one hesitates to use it. Also, we all know that there isn't going to be an impeachment any time soon."

losing rumsfeld

Desert Rats Leave The Sinking Ship
Why Rumsfeld Should Not Resign: "Generals, let me give you a bit of advice about choosing a target: It's the President, stupid. "
you could also say it's the stupid president.

Retired Major General John Batiste says lose Rumsfeld

He told CNN he believed the Bush administration's handling of the war had violated fundamental military principles such as unity of command and unity of effort.

Why does no one suggest the correct solution: lose Bush. Get rid of that total fuck.

Take Me Out: The Nats' Opening Day Draws Some Heavy Hitters

Take Me Out: The Nats' Opening Day Draws Some Heavy Hitters: "Vice President Cheney , tapped to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at yesterday's Nationals home opener, drew boisterous boos from the moment he stepped on the field until he jogged off. The derisive greeting was surprisingly loud and long, given the bipartisan nature of our national pastime, and drowned out a smattering of applause reported from the upper decks.

It didn't help that Cheney made an in-the-dirt pitch to catcher Brian Schneider . But the veep -- wearing a red and blue Nationals jacket -- ignored the critics, shook Schneider's hand and stayed to watch most of the game from a box above home plate."

Bush knew, he lied, he's lying now.

We cannot base our conclusions on anything but the evidence. If we demand that the man show contrition, or any recognition of guilt or wrong doing, we are foolish and lost.
Foolish that we cannot dispasionately engage in critical thinking and come to a conclusion.
The war will not end, we cannot end it, but we can get rid of Bush, and he must be promptly removed from office.
Ah, but a rub: at least 1/3 of the country is of the mindset that he is closely related to Christ.
Nevermind.

Gay marriage and those opposed

"Feingold called the amendment 'a mean-spirited attempt' to single out gays and lesbians for discrimination and said he would vote against it. But he went further, announcing he favors legalizing same-sex marriages as well."

Feingold lacks democratic temperament: calling the opposition "mean spirited" was gratuitously offensive. Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative. He is, in a word, wrong.

Iran Says It Can Handle Any Invasion

Bush, the simpleton, has stimulated arms development and militarism all over the globe. They are arming against the US. But they'll use them against each other: when people have toys they want to play with them.
Bush, the simpleton, got the US military as a toy, and he is totally playing with it.
Please, give this man a penis, give him something else to do!

Ahhhhhhh!

Bill Clinton has signed on to work with Dean!!!!
Yes!
They are in constant communication. Bill is going to support the 50 state campaign!!

Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern said he "was never a Dean guy. I supported John Edwards in 2004...But on this initiative, I'm in total agreement." Mr. Redfern said the partnership program could make the difference for his party in swing states such as Ohio. "I'm tired of consultants from Washington, New York and Boston telling us what's best for national Democrats. Howard Dean gets that, and that's going to pay dividends," Mr. Redfern said.

welcome to christianistan

We are going to kill an man who is insane. This country will take its vengeance out on one man. This country was once mad with grief. Now it is mad with fear and cowardice and Christianity and Bush.
We are going to hill one hapless man who delusions are always present.
We don't care. Kill him. Just please don't call it "law". You gotta be a sick fuck to call that justice.

cosby addresses new orleans

Bill Cosby spoke to the black community in New Orleans. Alas, Cosby does not know who he is talking to. He is saying "you" did this and "you" did that and he is wrong. Bill has no audience at all. The good people didn't do it and the bad people don't care. So who could he be talking to?
Bill has to say: you have people who share your skin color and and your neighborhoods and your speech and your streets and they are doing terrible things. They are murdering, they are dealing drugs, they are impregnating our daughters. These people look like you and me. And some of you here, today: which side are you on? Really. Did you do any of these things? Were you too silent? Too frightened? Did you reach out to your people?
But we look closely and we can see these people and we must say "you cannot do this, you may not do this, you will not do this, not many times, not even once. Not even once. We will turn you into our police, we will shun you, you will have no place among us. Change, now, and you will have a life among us, in the United States, in the world. Stay as you are and you will have no place. You cannot stay here. If you will not be one of us, you will not be permitted to be among us."
And all of us must say "I will not do these things. I am an American, I am free, I am black and I have things to do, and by god, I love my children and I am blessed."

white girl freed!

Jill is home. Has it been months already since we kvelled about a nice looking young white girl?
What color is America? You gotta be kidding.
If she were black, she wouldn't be back and we sure as shit would not care. So keep you little black girl very very safe. Do not count on your country.

12 million illegals, now

Chron.com | Broder: What legal immigrants are saying (you'll be surprised)
We are looking at the accumulated results of a crime, a lawlessness, a rule by men, an huge dilution of the population that is, in fact, free. these are wage slaves, who cannot vote, who cannot defend their rights, who will not defend yours.
What is citizen worth? Why are we giving it away? Why are we buying votes?
How has this grown under Bush?
Tighten it up. "Encourage" the return to the countries of origin, let them leave without prosecution over the next 6 months or such, figure out those details. Make it a shit storm if you come in after today.
