OK, who's with me here? Are we seeing the end of the beginning?
North Korea announces nukes this morning, Iran announces a new oil market, Challabi is ahead in Iraq, there are major leaks regarding the size of the deficit, the cost of Medicare, the environment and other disasters in the misAdministration, the fundies are overstepping their bounds and making people uncomfortable, Congress is showing spine (Thank you Sens. Boxer, Byrd, Kerry, Kennedy, and Reid and, my man, Rep. Conyers), the Democrats flushed the Beltway Boys down the toilet and put the Fightin' Doctor in charge, Social Security rape looks like a non-starter and the WH does not have the sense to back off, their nefarious puppetry of the MSM is being outed along with Jeff Gannon, and on. They are losing control-and once that entropy is loosed it will only grow exponentially. Stay focused, fight, fight, fight and show NO MERCY, NO PITY-exactly as they would to us. If you've been quiet while your local Freeper/Rethug/Neo-Nazi asswipe mouths at home, work, social scene hit back fearlessly. i think you will find unexpected support among the hitherto quiet bystanders. LET'S GO!

7. No link, but
heard on NPR his party is quite confortably ahead (the number 55% sticks in my head). Try google or searching the NYT.

11. Chalabi threw in his party with Sistani
to make a united Shiite front, I believe. I remember the story on NPR said that he went from US favorite, to disgrace to very real power broker in one year. remember, Sistani has very close ties to the Mullahs in Iran (he was even born there) and Challabi is in their pay. The Mullahs totally outplayed us here-but with * in charge, is this a surprise?

12. That makes sense. The vote was for parties, NOT candidates
that fact seems to get lost easily.

5. While Americans everywhere......................
snooze in ignorant bliss not knowing or caring as long as their pResident, "keeps them safe". You cannot wake these clowns up to save their lives, they simply don't care and are enamored with the propaganda machine. It's a sorry state of affairs.

10. Ha!
If somehow BushCo steals the Iraqi election for Chalabi you will see millions of Iraqis in the streets trying to shove their purple fingers up Bush's ass!

14. Saw Ward Churchill on CSPAN last night and he is speaking
to the people--young people--and us old hippie-aged fa*ts. He is saying what Noam CHomsky has been saying for years, in addition to Zinn, but they are too intellectual (brilliant but dry) to rile the people up. Here we are seeing many forces coalescing. My heart leaps out of my chest. Jan 19!

25. Ward was on CSPAN?
I saw the online footage of his CU speech a few days ago...man...i loved it.

But...is there more footage of Churchill online? Does CSPAN have some searchable archive of its programming online?

16. I'm there! And if Chalabi wins in Iraq, the Iraqi election will
be food for every comedian in America, for years!

But, hey, while Chalabi is a con-man, I don't think he's connected to oil companies, is he? Then he can't win--period.

21. Well, that makes him a perfect tool for the lawless Bush
administration! All of them are putative jailbirds. He fits right in.

20. Hell, that's one of the reasons the K/E stickers are on the car
here in freeper town.

If they wanna talk sanity, they know where to go.

Meanwhile I'm spreading the word to my truth starved liberal friends that we can get Schultz and Rhodes on our radios if you know where and when to tune. That's like f-ing good around here in our suburban hell.

23. Excellent allusion: You bet. When the real show starts, it's going
to just scream by. The beginning is the hard part.

24. Yes...i think so...
On the foreign front, the world is re-aligning...with military-economic alliances occuring in various places...almost all against the U.S.

And inside the U.S...Bush's proposals are just not getting any support...except from the 30% dedicated Christian Taliban....the rest of the nation ain't so hot for him.

I do think we are seeing the end of the world taking the shit from the U.S.
