1. A Game To Play...

When I listen to Rush or Hannity I interpolate liberal with conservative and visa versa...amazing how much more amusing and hypocritical these a-holes sound.

Gnewtie's opening statement was a classic...bemoaning the killing of innocent young children and "innocent" U.N. workers...and how we have to "prevail"...transpose the innocents as Iraqis and you see how shallow and arrogant these neocons are.

I can't wait for the open phones...

2. 45000 dead Iraqi military in US mass graves -today some are moved

how much airtime will this IRAQ MASS GRAVES story get?

Until the estimate of the work to move from mass grave to family grave was given out yesterday by low level DOD (I doubt it is "official" - the 10000 to 45000 number), we had no number of Iraq military dead beyond the 2800 number for "near Baghdad dead".

I check all US Media for the last 24 hours since it was given out - and guess what - not one story. Guess we can add this to the 7800 Iraq civilan deaths story that never got into US Media, and the Iraq civilan casualty but not dead number of 20000, and the Iraq Military casualty but not dead of 20,000, and the US/Brit wounded but not dead of 1289 as of last week, and the US/Brit/Dane dead of 287).

We will just talk about "combat deaths" - say 50 or so since May 1 - actually since we define "combat" - what number do you want? - it cab be as low as needed for US PR.

3. Neandertal Paradise...

Letsee, Gnewt just advocated private "academies" for poor children...a place we can turn poor little black kids into J.C. Watt clones...ya know, bleach that ghetto right outta 'em and turn 'em into good 'Muricans (of course not as good as whites, but at least they'll be happy). Hey Newt, don't we already have a government program that caters to young blacks? It's called the Correctional system. And didn't we try this routine on American Indians 100 years ago?

Yep...this mantra of Hitler/Hussein is one of the few left that the neocons can throw as any legitimization of this immoral invasion. Remember, the neo-cons have to circle the wagons today cause the foreign media noise will be directed right at them.

But I'm the ever cynic...why's Newt on TV? What's his game? Obviously he wants to get rid of Powell, but he can't really, really believe he'd be the replacement!

4. Even if you put lipstick on a pig

I almost choked over his statement "well...let's not call them orphanages, let's call them Prep Schools For The Poor".
