ORACULATIONS

Debate: I am for Bush so I view the debate from the POV that I want my guy to look good, but if Kerry had anything really telling to say I'd have been moved. Views of events like this are based on feelings and emotions, not who scored.

I thought Kerry started out as a phony with that praise for Florida and didn't really do much for the rest of the night. Bush largely stayed on message, Kerry had fifteen messages. The one place I thought Kerry had Bush big time was on the 100 hours of tape that the FBI had failed to translate. Had Kerry followed up with the SEC, prior FBI failures, and Bush's failure to fire people Kerry would have made a big time score, at least with me. He failed.

Bush was successful in shoving "wrong war at the wrong time" right up Kerry's ass over and over again. Bush scored on leadership and the Kerry remarks about "bribed and coerced allies." I think there is no doubt that Bush basically deflected Kerry and Kerry was defenseless against Bush. Kerry had to attack and didn't.

Never mind the yahoos "keeping score" because debating points mean nothing. It will be the perceptions of the people, remember them?, the voters that count. We vote on perceptions of what we want. We will have to wait til tomorrow or Saturday to get a poll.

Did I watch every moment? No. I was bored so I was watching the two football games too. I just can't listen to politicians for 90 minutes. I wonder how many people watched the entire thing without doing the same? Let's face it, neither of these guys could make a dime as a tele-evangelist. Exciting they're not.

My "feeling" is that Bush will pick up some ground in the polls. BUT do the polls measure the illegal voters and cell phone people? No. I think the people who vote the way they are told to vote are Democrats and all the Democrats have to do is get these illegals, illiterates, and ghosts to the polls. This ain't over.

Bill Quick at Daily Pundit has announced that PayPal has backed down from its attempt to censor HIS site. I still say fuck them. Don't use them. Google and PayPal now subserve themselves to Communist China but don't hesitate to censor us. Bill has thanked those of us on the web who rallied to support him, but to those of you who emailed PayPal to voice your opinion of their KGB censorship move, thanx too.

Can you believe all these phony cable jerks pontificating on what the debates will look like? Cable news is getting booooorrrrring. Just watch the "show" and see how you "feel" afterward. Whatever you do, tune out the analysis and think for yourself.

And I hope you read my post below: Democrats are Stealing the Election. It could be that all polls are wrong. This is real and I have no idea what to do about it.

The Left Wing press won't report it and the left wing judges won't stop it.

Rampant voter fraud has been the stock in trade for the Democratic Party for over a century. From Boston to New York, to Chicago, fence post votes, ballots from beyond the grave, and pre- pubescent voter registration has been their stock in trade. This year left wing Democratic lawyers are not only preparing to challenge each and every election vote but are registering "first time" voters nobody can find. They have successfully stopped any potential challenges of signatures, photo IDs at the voting booth, and any check on addresses by branding as "racist" all such challenges.

It is pretty clear that the Democrats stole South Dakota in 2000 by registering Indians that had been dead for years so that the Republican, Thule, lost by 530 votes. Rampant "Mexican" voting in New Mexico resulted in a Gore victory there by 560 votes. This time the Democrats are trying to steal some big states with large numbers of electoral votes. I have no idea what the Republicans are doing to counter this, but all of us should be ready.

Aiding and abetting the usual fraud is the Democratic ruse to use absentee voting in as many states as possible. Absentee voting is almost impossible to check because the analysis can only be done by humans evaluating signatures. When those humans are Democratic they will allow and encourage voter fraud. In states like Oregon and Washington the absentee vote is 100%.

It will be very ironic if the UN inspectors find rampant vote fraud by the Democrats instead of the Republicans.. The conventional polling techniques won't pick up this underground criminality because these new voters aren't the standard "likely voters" nor are they "registered voters" because as late registrants they aren't on the rolls yet. You can bet few have phones, may be "living" on the streets, and many are dead. The Republicans better get out their vote and challenge voters with no IDs.. This election is about to be stolen.

Are you getting pissed up to here over the faked up photoshop hit "photos" of Bush, Kerry, and anybody else who happens to be the target of every totally untalented jerkoff? I hope so. The good sides of all this are that (1) none of them are funny any more and none will change any minds about candidates, and (2) the fact that most of us will now focus on the important things in this campaign. Of the roughly 500 new fake photos up today not one of them will cause a thought to cross a mind anywhere outside of a Junior High locker room.

Then there is phony "link building" by some bloggers. This is the practice of "linking" to ten or more other sites while allegedly writing some sage observations. Particularly annoying is a site I used to read every day called AllahPundit that is now totally tedious to read because you have to link five to eight times during every entry. I don't link because I don't give a fat fuck; I have good traffic, people who want to read me know where I am, and I'll never just link to build exchange links.

Then there's this from badjocks.com: Kobe Tells Cops Shaq Paid Out $1 Million in Hush Money to Women

Finally, the total outrage of the month. Bigger than memogate, the genocide in Darfur, or binLaden. I refer to the rape of SoCal by the FOX network last Sunday when they held off showing the first five minutes of the Colt-Packer game in favor of the "overtime" bullshit going nowhere Rams-Saints game while showing us all four colt-Packer toughdowns on tape. This overtime game was so boring that the stands were more than one third empty by the time the winning field goal was kicked. THEN the assholes cut to at least four minutes of commercials before switching to the real game. Fuck you Fox, you scumbags.

Will Kerry's new orange look attract unknown minority groups to Kerry? Will Bush show up in an F-16 in order to rally the fighter plane moms? Will Kerry attempt to show his athletic prowess by bench pressing an heiress? Will Bush hum "Hail to the Chief" before answering any questions?

Those of us wishing for a TKO during the debates will be disappointed. Both of these guys are bright, well prepared, and capable. Both of them -- in ad agency media whore lingo--are able to be a "groovy visual." Any of you who are watching Bush on O'Reilley see that four years in office and constant media appearances have smoothed out all the rambling, faltering, sloppy speech that marked him back in 2000. He has been taking elocution and vocal coaching that has cleared up his poor articulation and increased his vocal range so that he is easier to listen to, and he actually argued with O'Reilley without being offensive.

According to Democrat propaganda, Kerry is a Harvard intellect, a brilliant man with a complete grasp of every situation, and the personification of manhood and debating skill. He will have to "warm up," which is a very difficult task to accomplish in only one year of campaigning. He has learned to focus on single issues (lately), appears to be aggressive, and has won many campaigns.

The only question any of us should ask about these non-debate debates is who the fuck needs them? We don't have a parliamentary system. Our presidents will never have to debate anybody anywhere. What counts is leadership, the ability to recognize problems, and the skill to advocate legislation that will solve those problems.

This is not a debating "class." Remember, Lincoln whipped Douglas in their famous "debates" but Douglas won the 1858 election to the Senate. Debates have always been entertainment in our country, serving only to rally interest of the already convinced. The main difference between now and the distant "then" is that all of us can see and hear debates as they happen because of TV. We don't have to rely on a corrupt press "interpreting" them for us. When Lincoln and Douglas were debating only a few hundred were present to hear them. The press, owned by extreme partisans then as now, would "report" on what was said.

The MSM will show their biased talking heads immediately after the debates to tell us what went down. The dinosaurs feeding on the last of the plants in the continual dark will try to lie to us as usual as if we're all a bunch of morons. Thanks to live TV we can make up our own minds. About what, is open to question. Am I going to watch? Hell yes. This is like a Super Bowl.

Iran regime's apologists are attempting to influence US Intelligence according to Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran. Certain Iranian groups are raising money for Representative Eshoo (Dem CA) hoping to influence Congress. They are "helping" the Kerry campaign. Theresa is helping them as well through her charities. Wives of several major corporation heads are also involved in the U.S. becoming "friendly" to the Mulla Thugs in Iran. Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Albright, George Soros, as well as many other Democrats. If you don't subscribe, read the latest correspondence (edited slightly to remove some of the bad spelling and convoluted sentence structure) below. Remember these are basically college kids who are not fluent in English.

SMCCDI (Information Service) September 28, 2004 Some of the Islamic regime's notorious apologists are intending to influence to the "US House's Select Committee on Intelligence". A "fund raiser" has been planned for Anna Eshoo" (D- 14th/CA). The House Representative seems to be totally unaware of her supporters background and their ultimate goals.

The main organizers and members of the Host Committee are "Susan Akbarpoor", founder of "Silicon Iran" and "Iran Today" together with her husband, "Faraj-Alaei" head of the "Centillium Corp." and co-founder of the so-called "Iranian American Political Action Committee" (IAPAC). The couple and some of their related organizations are notorious for having tried for several years to legitimize the tyrannical and terrorist Islamic republic regime in the US. The controversial fundraising is to take place in a Bay area home, located at 27011 DeZahara Way in Los Altos Hills CA 94022, on October 10th from 05:00 PM. This home seems to be belong to "Gita Kashani" who's a former head of the "Society of Iranian Professionals" (SIP) of N. California. Involved in the organization of some very controversial activities, Kashani was one of the main planners of "Technological trips to Iran" by non scrupulous US researchers, scholars and businessmen, and a well known organizer of official exchange seminars in cities, such as, Esfahan. It's to note that such actions are known to be needing the collaboration of the highest levels of the Islamic regime's Intelligence and Government in order to take place. She has since joined IAPAC and has increased her activities in a different way which are more adapted to the current circumstances. Akbarpoor is a close friend to Hashemi Rafsanjani's daughter and a firm advocator of Kamal Kharrazi, the Islamic regime's FM. Her organizations are intending to bring US Technology firms to lobby the US Administration for a recognition of the Mullahcracy and the cancellation of sanctions. She seems to have been able to attract the support of some mercantilist individuals, such as the wife of one of AT & T's main heads, to her goals. In addition, "Hassan Nemazee", IAPAC's main co-founder who has tried to silence the Movement by initiating costly juridical, is expected to be present during Ms. Eshoo's questionable fundraising along with his colleague, Akbar Ghahary, the current front man of the Kerry Campaign for Iranian-Americans. It's to note that IAPAC's initial founders, Nemazee, Alaei and Ghahary, were also Board members of the infamous and self-called "American Iranian Council" (AIC). Nemazee used his position, as AIC Board Member, to publicly calling for the recognition of the Islamic regime. On June 1, 2002, in presence of Senator J. Kerry. The AIC, which is headed by the infamous "Hooshang Amir-Ahmadi", was still publicly trying to lobby for the recognition of the Islamic regime. It has to its dark credit the formal apology offered to Iran (meaning the Mullahs) by "Madeleine Albright", the then Secretary of State; Joe Biden's fundraising at the IMAN Islamist Center of Los Angeles headed by Sadegh Nemazikhah who's a AIC Board member; And various meetings organized between members of the Mullahs' regime, such as Mehdi Karoubi, and several US lawmakers and members of Clinton Administration. Biden is well known for having tried to use his influence within the US Senate's Foreign Relations Committee to push for resumption of ties with the illegitimate Mullahcracy. The IAPAC's trio founders are also among John Kerry's main fundraisers. They're hoping that the election of the Democratic Candidate, as a future US President, will help to avoid Islamic regime's total collapse by boosting it via commercial and nuclear deals with Uncle Sam.

Huge amounts of money are getting disbursed, at this time, by this group's members and their affiliated creations or partners, such as the self called "National Iranian American Council" (NIAC), in order to use some of non scrupulous Iranian Satellite TV and Radio networks, such as Tamasha,Channel One or 670 AM, in order to promote Candidate Kerry among the Iranian- American community. NIAC's front man President is Titra Parsi. He was also a AIC Board member and a well known Khatami advocator. In addition to some questionable Iranian financial sources, the group is receiving financial contributions from groups affiliated to Theresa Heinz Kerry , such as Tides Foundation, and George Soros' Open Society Institute. Playing the nationalistic feelings of young Iranians, NIAC claims to be bi-partisan while in reality its heads are targeting a Democrat victory in the next US Presidential elections. The Honorable Anna Eshoo's contact references are: Phone: (202) 225-8104; (650) 323-2984; (408) 245-2339 Fax: (202) 225-8890 ; (650) 323-3498

The range has broadened but it's not over. Mark Johnson, a top tech analyst who trades short term Dow and S&P futures (less than a week in any one position) and who has been playing mostly the short side for a while sees the market this way:

I see no reason why we cannot have a trading range type of market for quite a while. The fact that the oil prices have not caused a major decline tells me that the market believes that the economy will adjust to the new higher levels. While the higher prices of commodities will have a negative effect on the economy it comes at a point in time when the economy is recovering so the two are balancing each other out. Hence the "trading range" style of market.

He's very good and isn't looking for a big rally unless commodity prices suddenly dip and look like they will stay lower....or go through the roof, a possibility since this may be a big El Niño year. El Niños cause heavy rains in Ecuador and the mud and warm water cause the anchovies to die. Anchovies are used in most fertilizers in the world and their demise will mean exponential increases in fertilizer prices and cause farm prices to soar. Oil at $60 won't help either.

I don't have the time to do any more than watch my own shit these days so I'll let Mark speak for me.

WHY KERRY CAN'T LOSE

He has 98% of the Black vote
He has 98% of the gay vote
He has 98% of the feminist vote
He has 90% of the Labor Union vote
He has 98% of the Movie vote
He has 95% of the Journalist vote
He has 94% of the college professor vote
He has at least 60% of the Hispanic vote
He has 100% of the anti-war vote
He has 90% of the public school teachers
He has 90% of the government employees

Am I missing something?

The Reynolds link to the hawkish words of Illinois Senate canditate Obama is noteworthy mostly because Obama is an extreme leftist. I think it shows that many Democrats see that trashing Bush on the Iraq decision is the wrong way to go. Obama is clearly a guy with national ambitions and needs to be correct on the most serious challenge this country has faced since the Soviets were finally stared down. Islamofascism with the A-Bomb is even worse than it is without it and we may have to make a pre-emptive strike to stop them.

Notes while channel surfing------Here in SoCal we can stop at the Spanish Language used car commercials where local dealers vigorously compete to see who can have the hottest looking babe pitch car prices. But---there are also the Christian station chiors that are filled to the brim with hot babes all dressed. There must be a message there. For me it's when God shows up next time she better be a hot looking dame or nobody will listen. Late add: the caucasian dealers are now using even hotter babes with even less clothing. Babes work. God better pay attention.

For any of you wondering why I don't link to Captain's Quarters within posts it's because he runs so many stupid ads that even with DSL the downtime takes more than a minute. All bloggers take note, the ads are slowing down instapundit, dailypundit, and a slew of others. Money corrupts. The more money the less access.

I've had over 25,000 hits on my "Wisdom of Spiro Agnew" piece. Thanks to a ton of bloggers who linked it. Highest number of hits since I had the exclusive video of Kobe Bryant and the unknown babe having strangle sex.

Now it's Google News turning Left. Take a look. Media bias like mad. Two columns of praise for Cat Stevens and abuse for the State Department, rationalization of the CBS scandal and not a word of fixing an election, they (the GOP) will raise taxes right after the election, Let's all praise John Kerry link. Noting that Google is behind the PayPal threats against bloggers who link to sites they don't like, I'd say we have a problem. There are other search engines out there now that do just as good a job as Google and other pay sytems. Time we all moved on. BTW not a single link to the President, his speech, or the GOP campaign.

Simon's link to the John Podhoretz piece in the Weekly Standard has caused me to look up quotes from Spiro Agnew, former governor of Maryland, former Vice President of the U.S. under Richard Nixon. Tell me these things about the MSM couldn't have been said yesterday.

A spirit of national masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals.

(The Liberal News Media are) A tiny and closed fraternity of privileged men, elected by no one, and enjoying a monopoly sanctioned and licensed by government.

In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism.

They have formed their own 4-H club - the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history.

"Yippies, Hippies, Yahoos, Black Panthers, lions and tigers alike - I would swap the whole damn zoo for the kind of young Americans I saw in Vietnam."

"A small group of men, numbering perhaps no more than a dozen anchormen, commentators, and executive producers, settle upon the twenty minutes or so of film and commentary that is to reach the public. This selection is made from the 90 to 180 minutes that may be available. Their powers of choice are broad. They decide what forty to fifty million Americans will learn of the day's events in the nation and in the world. Is it not fair or relevant to question its concentration in the hands of a tiny and closed minority of privileged men, elected by no one and enjoying a monopoly sanctioned and licensed by government? I am not asking for government censorship or any other kind of censorship. I am asking whether a form of censorship already exists.

Some newspapers are fit only to line the bottom of bird cages

Agnew resigned on October 10, 1973, while under investigation for accepting bribes during his tenure as governor of Maryland in 1967: the payments were kickbacks in return for government contracts. Before resigning, Agnew had insisted he was innocent, but then pleaded nolo contendere (no contest) to a single charge of failing to report income. Knowing what we know today one wonders if Agnew wasn't framed by the press. I hope some enterprising reporter will look into it. Lyndon Johnson warned Agnew not to fight with the media news monopoly. The MSM monopoly got him.

For the latest MSM tissue of lies, this time from AP, see Powerline piece.

Every setback in Iraq and Afghanistan is viewed by the media as a "defeat for the Bush Administration" and every success is viewed as "positive for the Bush Administration. Nowhere is it good or bad for America. That is bias and I include FOX. The facts as presented mean that the Democrats want Bush, America, and mid-east democracy to lose. The Left wants Islamofascist states, which is what we will have if Democracy fails..

The penultimate Rathergate commentary is by Victor David Hanson and just read it. The 60s generation if finally about to implode along with their phony moral superiority, Columbia Journalism opinions as news, and their lying. My only question is will it be replaced by worse? My betting is worse, because the university system is spewing out hard core leftists by the thousands and to the hard core anything that advances the revolution is OK. Then there is this penultimate article (link courtesy of Simon) steeped in the history of CBS news fabrications and destructive journalism that is a must read this weekend. CBS has a history of outlaw journalism that may surprise you.

Hollywood Left paying the price at the box office? Check the grosses. Here in LA the grosses are so bad that "9-11" is being released again, as is Manchurian Candidate (both hard left movies), and at least four other summer bombs. The biggest hit movie does $400 per theatre. The lowest does $32. You have to know the Left is shitting in their Ferraris. Does anybody know story anymore? Watch the ancient Gunsmoke episodes before PC and you will see tight story telling. When these dopes think Kim Bassinger is a bankable movie star you know that the drugs are running out.

The I'm a Big Movie Star and I know What's Best for You crowd is not the only Islamofascist sympathizers missing from the Kerry campaign. Where is Hillary? Bill? My guess is they are standing aside hoping for the implosion of the hard core left so Hillary can step in and "save the party."

Get ready for the $30,000 Toyota. The California elite Left has now made it impossible for the poor to own a car. They have imposed a Kyoto smog standard on all cars. Great for the $150,000 per car crowd, not so great for the $12,000 guys. These regs, supported by the LA Times and all the rest of the California Left, will add nearly $4,000 to the price of a car; a 33% hike for the poor and a .02 percent hike for the rich. And the Liberals complain about the Bush taxes?

Cynthia Dixon is a dyke, no surprise to anyone who watched Sex in the City two times. To me she was totally unbelievable. I always thought all those 40 something sluts who are immune to AIDS, Herpes, and other pedestrian STDs were never anything but elite fakes. And anyone under the age of 45 who wanted to do anything more than a one night stand with any of them had to be a little on the suspicious side. "Hey honey, let's get married so we can do a threesome in front of the kids."

Does anyone believe the "New and Improved" John Kerry? He's going to be tougher on terror? How? What actual step by step program will he enact? Close the border(s)? Sure. Repeal the Patriot Act like the ACLU wants? Maybe he'll make it illegal to kill people. Oh, I forgot. He'll go to the UN. What a jerk. BTW: Kerry is the perfect clone for the principal character in a very old Robert Redford movie called "The Candidate," the only really good movie about politics ever made. The Redford character is taken over by professional handlers when it looks like he's blowing the election and they just feed him lines and speeches. In the end he wins and the last line in the movie is "What do I do now?" Rent it.

Viacom CEO now supporting Bush. This is a bombshell under the entire Mapes-Rather news scandal. Redstone is a BIG Liberal Dem and he has just sent a signal. Before you come to a conclusion that Redstone is motivated by political ethics, the plight of the Iraqi people, the fate of the genocide victims in Darfur, go HERE. It's all about money. This prick doesn't care about Iraq, the war on Terror, health care, or anything other than the next buck. I'd only value his support if I was producing the next sexually explicit half time show at a terrorist execution. A total prick.

Why I'm not dipping my dick into the Mary Mapes gangbang. Blaming Mary Mapes is like blaming the brake pedal for the failure of the brakes on a car. Analyzing any TV news process is like watching sausage being made, nobody likes to watch it being made but we love it when its finished. We cook it, we embrace it, and we eat it. And we forget the revolting process that produced it.

I've done a small amount of work in network news. There is not a single "anchor" on any level--including the local yokels--- who I know about that does their own "reporting" of stories. All stories are done by unseen producers. Take a look at O'Reilley; Jennings; everyone. O'Reilley doesn't do one single thing; everything is done by his producers. There is no way any news or opinion anchor can do the stories. Over time all come to trust their producers to give them good stuff. After a time of good scoops they will never question the methods used to get a story. You can bet that now every anchor will have a process to vet all stories from all producers, just like the NYT has procedures in place to vet all stories since the Jason Blair fiasco.

Mary Mapes is a super feminist and probably did her best to get stories to fit her bias but by all counts she provided CBS with good stuff for years. Her ONE slip was in the prison letter quasi-criminal action in order to get a story. CBS should have, and probably did, go back into her history to check her stories at that time and settled with a promise never to cross the line again.

What we have here is a failure of all systems at CBS because the entire Viacom corporate structure is Left and all want to get Bush. I learned long ago from experience in the financial field never to trust any market opinion from a partisan who slips those observations into stock or commodity opinion.

I know nothing about fonts, law, forgeries, or the inside of CBS. I do know a little about the inner workings of TV news, politics, and crazy people---I'm one of the latter myself---so I can share a little of that part of my experiences with you.

Burkett will not go gently into that sweet night. He is now accusing CBS of various things while also accusing DNC big shot Joe Lockhart of asking for the docs. Guys like Safire are standing up saying it was a crime. This one won't go away so fast. BUT... the ever honest DNC/Kerry Campaign has "proof, proof I tell you

To put it bluntly, this was conclusively a Republican plot, but CBS screwed it up. The "Burkett memos" were a plot hatched last March in order to neutralize a very dangerous witness against the President.------ Daily Kos

This will be the Democratic Party Line that will be continuously offered by distant surrogates, never anyone close to the Kerry camp. Stories far and wide that Burkett is being smeared, that he's not a whack job and so on are pouring out from the usual suspects. MSM is not biting on this stuff only because they don't want to look even worse than they do now.

AND THEN WE HAVE THIS from William Safire that nobody wants to look at

Whoever, having devised any scheme or artifice to defraud transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writings for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. " U.S. Criminal Code, Chapter 63, Section 1343.

This was an attempt to change an election, and don't ever forget it.

PayPal seeks to censor everyone who dares express an opinion. I stopped using them for anything a year ago when I got a similar notice. Bill Quick reprints one of their threatening notices. Read it and stop using PAYPAL.

If you haven't linked to the Sondrak reprint of Rush Limbaugh's take on the blogosphere's place in the world, go HERE and read it. There's a reason Rush has been on top for fifteen years, and this piece shows it.

Allawi speech: the near total absence of Democrats in the chamber to hear him speaks volumes. They will cut and run and leave Allawi to face certain death at the hands of terrorists. There is no mistaking this "snub" of a really great man. The Democrat Party is France West. And Kerry reaction?? WTF? Is he playing to the Dean vote? Was that statement for the MSM, LAT, NYT, Boston Globe? He basically stabbed Allawi in the back. Let him know that the Democrats regarded him as a Bush stooge. More and more I cannot vote for the guy. Bush, warts and all, is my guy for this election.

I deleted my post that blasted Jim Geraghty's hit piece on Kerry because he corrected it so it can be understood. This is one reason the web beats print. You fuck up and can correct it FAST.

It's Iraq, stupid. This is the message til November from every Democrat appearing on every channel. This seems to be what the Democrats have decided, at least for today. It will change if the polls tell them to. We will hear nothing about the economy, health care, education or anything else. This week. We'll see if the Clintonista focus on a single issue at a time works.

If you haven't read the vile "The Draft is Coming" email the DNC has caused to be sent to virtually every college dorm, known computer, and college library check it out here on Betsy's Page.

The gangbang of Mary Mapes continues. CBS is going to make her take the fall for "memogate" rather than have Rather and the rest of the bums take any responsibility. Today FOX got a mysterious old letter that CBS had received about a prison interview violation. These leaks don't just happen. CBS caused it to happen and FOX is loaded with ex-CBS newsies including Hume, O'Reilley, and E.D. Hill. You can bet they are all on the CBS "leak to" list.

The Hollywood effect? Has anyone but me noticed that Kerry's slide in the polls coincides exactly with the launch of the Bruce Springsteen-Dixie Chicks-Pearl Jam "Vote for Change" tour?

Legal age for women to marry has been raised to 13 from age nine; the movie censor is legally blind; it is near illegal to dream. They are months away from having nuclear weapons. Read the George Will column on Iran today.

"Only question about Iraq" worth asking is do those assholes want democracy at all? I say no. They want Islamofascist thugs telling them what to do, or else. Kerry can't ask that question. The Muslim religion cannot co-exist with free speech. Period.

Random Thoughts while standing in line at the methadone clinic

Will all those planning to watch CBS on election night wave your med bottles.

Will all those men who would date Theresa Heinz Kerry if she was poor turn yourselves in.

Is it true that Mary Mapes will be the centerfold in the November issue of "Skanks?"

With the Hollywood and Black votes all sewed up can Kerry possibly lose?

What do you call gay people when they are sad?

Partial list of hard nosed investigators assigned by CBS to investigate memos

1. Sonja Redstone: No relation to Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone. Sonja broke the now famous expose of George Bush's homosexual relationship with Laura Bush.

2. Freddie Moonves: No relation to CBS biggie Les Moonves. Freddie has done a very inventive job digging up the facts on Jesus's brother, Bernie Christ.

3. Lou Anne Rather: No relation to former CBS news reporter Daniel Rather. Lou Anne has been a "60 Minutes" investigator reporting on the Lindberg Kidnapping. Before that she was assigned to the Evening News where she broke the super secret hike in the Fed Funds Rate, although she took some flak for reporting it the weekend after it happened..

4. Leslie Mapes: No relation to CBS News producer Mary Mapes. Leslie is the reporter who broke the story about John Kerry being born in a manger.

5. Frankie Anastasia: The grandson of assassinated 1950s mobster Albert Anastasia; was hired for his ability and not because he is the rumored top secret heart throb of a super powerful female Democrat from New York. He has worked with the FBI, NYPD, and the State Police "on a few things." According to CBS execs, "he knows where the bodies are buried." Will join the investigative team upon his release next Monday.

CBS will name more people next week.

Be sure you all understand that this "Rathergate" was exactly like Watergate in that the purpose was to change an election. It is just as bad but big Media wants you to believe it isn't. IT IS. The difference is that media is involved in the attempt and the likelyhood of them reporting accurately is somewhere between microscopic and invisible.

RETRACTION: I posted the New Yorker smear of Teresa Kerry. It is completely false. She used the term "scumbag" within a sentence: ".....there are scumbags everywhere....."

BTW be sure to drop by Daily Pundit to read Bill Quick's analysis of both the Bush and Kerry Health Care proposals. He did a lot of work and deserves to be read.

Lucy Ramirez did it.... The always reliable Bill Burkett reveals that this 75 year old Black Puerto Rican lesbian single mom gave him the memos. This covers all minority groups and he says he would never have taken the notes if offered by some white guy. Lucy fucking Ramirez????? And he met her at a "livestock" show? Is that another term for "meet market?" Oh, we're sure to find her. I just checked the LA White pages and there must be 250 Ramirezes in it; I'll bet there are ten thousand of them in the Southwest. While all us Right Wing pricks would dearly love to pin this thing on the DNC I really doubt it will end up there. First, since this is a Liberal scandal to be "covered" by the Liberal Media they aren't likely to put any resources behind an investigation as they did Watergate. Second, the GOP villains in the Watergate affair were sloppy and since this was the first real dirty trick pulled in the modern era they didn't know how to do it while covering their asses. The Democrats know. If this story is broken it will be by the checkbook journalists at the National Enquirer or Globe, not by anyone in the "let's pretend we're interested" MSM. Make no mistake, the MSM wants this story to go away. They will do everything they can to soften it.

MEMOGATE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO RIG THE ELECTION THROUGH FRAUD and who would benefit from the fraud? The Communists? Would it give Ralph Nader 4% instead of 3%? I look for CBS to find that Karl Rove and Laura Bush cooked this thing up while they were screwing in the Lincoln Bedroom. Oh well, I'm glad this is helping Bush. I also think the Bushies have played this whole National Guard thing well. They are sitting on a straight flush of Air National Guard docs they haven't released yet while pretending they are furious at the Pentagon for "finding" documents once a week.

Lesson for all of us: this is what happens when we are motivated purely by hate. Check out the Drudge link to Michael Moore's rambling tirade. All he offers is "get Bush". Not one positive idea. As a side dish, do we really want Terezah as First Bitch? Can you hear her going off on some foreign leader who dared insult her?

Let's gangbang Mary Mapes the CBS "producer" who supposedly broke the memo story she had been on for five years. I have an anonymous source in Dallas who told me about Mapes the first day this broke. He told me then that she was known in Dallas as a first rate producer and a piece of shit as a person (a hard core feminist, meaning a lesbian). Keep in mind that all of us MCPs hate feminists and spend most of our lives staying away from them, but she is known for her naked aggression. There is nothing she won't do, nobody she would arrange a piece of ass for, to get an interview. Rather has another woman producer who is a near incompetent too. All these powerhouse show biz and business guys seem to have female "assistants" who will do what they are told with a singularity of purpose. Mapes will take a major fall for this and most probably will never work at CBS again but Nation or some other Left rag will hire her. Mapes had her fifteen minutes when Abu Grahaib fell into her lap, rumor has it from the DNC, and then wanted more. She got careless, but she gave Rather and CBS (Dem biggies Redstone and Karmizan) what they wanted to hear. Mapes is one of thousands of barely qualified women who worm their way into positions next to power. Don't fall for the line. It goes much higher and wider than her.
The terrible Emmy ratings: I'd like to think that all of us boycotted them because we hate the phony Hollywood Left and their endless moral lectures, but it's probably that everyone is just plain bored.

Pit bullette Claudia has part three of her oil for food pieces up HERE.

Where are they, our beloved movie stars? Oh my gawwwd the polls show that only 36% of the stupid voters like him. The rest will get mad at me and not go to my movies and what would I do without $20 million a year? My grosses in Iraq are down to next to nothing. My Saudi friends won't even phone me. Even Hamas gave me a bad review in the Dirty Jews Daily.

When it comes to courage remember 9/11. The "stars" were all cowering under their Bentleys and some were even crying. It's just possible that these gutless wonders have been told by the DNC to shut up. Kerry can't have been pleased by the rants of celebrity drunks and doped up movie stars.

So with Hollywood out of the public mix, who should I vote for? People Magazine tells me nothing. The Globe has no opinion at all. And Smoking Gun dot com just keeps showing my idols and Gods in jail. Keep in mind that the Hollywood Left is still pouring money into the "cause" and still putting propaganda into their shows and movies so they haven't gone Bush. Soros is still the most dangerous guy out there and be sure to read my post detailing what an international thug he is if you haven't read it already.

Just looks like the "Sunshine Patriot" vote is 100% for Kerry.

THE POLLS: Reports that 100 calls have to be made in order to interview one person means that the cell phone crowd is bigger than ever and they refuse to pay higher toll bills just to be interviewed. Don't believe the the poll numbers. When only the land line people are polled they are likely to be over 45, weighted to the older voters, and not representative of the entire population. Keep fighting because it ain't over by a long shot.

Rathergate: as soon as the MRI comes in on the memos we will know. Big problem: Medicare won't pay so CBS wants their insurance to foot the bill. The real question here is "did the DNC send the material or cause the material to be sent to CBS?" Who told Burkett to fax them? How did Burkett get the correct fax number? This story isn't over til we find out the real details. CBS and the DNC are engaged in a continuing coverup, and don't forget it. A piece by one time blogger Mark Styn contains this little sentence:

The only reasonable conclusion is that the source -- or trail of sources -- is even more incriminating than the fake documents.

Stay tuned and keep demanding answers.

Ryder Cup: Just another bunch of too rich self centered American so-called athletes losing to a team. Our baseball team didn't qulify for the Olympics, the NBA (Nothing But Assholes) lost in Athens, and if there was an all-star game between the NFL and NFL Europe....?

Drezner has an effective piece today about Muslim self victimization that could easily have been written about American Blacks, leftist women, and the entitlement class in general. The conclusion: Muslims will have to correct themselves could also be applied here. Will it? Don't bet on it, either from Muslims or the American entitlement class. Muslim jihadists are the same as the Black, Hispanic, and other victim group street gangs that go around murdering only their own race while our liberal press blames whitey.

A good read, maybe better than he figured.

And Claudia Rosett strikes again. Part One is HERE linking Oil for Food to Oil for food and Terror. Part TWO is HERE.

“I think clearly, American blood is in the hands of a number of European countries, who could have put pressure on Saddam, who could've looked him in the eye and said, ‘the United States is coming in,'" Shays said. “And to me, some of the explanation clearly has to be the Oil-for-Food program.”

We better face up to who our real enemies are and they are the guys Kerry wants us to get closer to.

Emailer Janna lets me know that the women going for Bush is motivated by the Russian school bombing and not how cute he looked in his air force uni. OK, but I'm betting cute before schools anyway but she has a good point.

More about Soros and how he throws his money around is HERE. It's quite a story. Before you read this particular site, bear in mind that the site is virulently anti-Bush, anti-Globalization, and fairly crazy. But as all of us know after surfing the web for a while, people who are obsessed with something can sometimes be awfully correct. Just a glimpse of what is going on and how "connected" Soros has been with our government. He was the prime mover to "rescue" the Mexican Peso during the Clinton Administration. Soros hides his participation, as he almost always does,

Soros doesn't flinch because he and his fellow Council on Foreign Relations members can always steal more money. In 1995, Senator Alfonse D'Amato, as head of the Senate Banking Committee, issued a report about the Clinton Administration's $20 billion loan to Mexico. The reason given for the loan was to prop up a staggering Mexico because any default on loans would end foreign investment in all developing countries.

The real reason was to rescue American and Mexican investors who had thrown their money into the craps game of high-interest Mexican Government bonds. For a year before the loan was ordered, on January 31, 1995, top Treasury officials and President Clinton were telling us how great things were going economically in Mexico. It was a cover-up to prevent Congressional defeat of the North American Free Trade Agreement, to bolster the Mexican and US administrations in upcoming elections in both countries, and to protect the major speculators.

An article from Newsday , "Peso Hits Record Low As Bailout Is Debated" ( Karen Rothmyer - 1/31/,95) identifies some of the Council on Foreign Relations members involved in the cover-up. They were "Former Presidents George Bush, Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford [who] signed a declaration of support for the [bailout] plan. Also endorsing the plan was George Soros, probably the world's most influential international investor."

For more, try this Canadian website also with an agenda that really pins the guy as "The Master Builder of the Bribe Sector"

Calling himself a philanthropist, billionaire George Soros' role is to tighten the ideological stranglehold of globalization and the New World Order while promoting his own financial gain. Soros' commercial and "philanthropic" operations are clandestine, contradictory and coactive. And as far as his economic activities are concerned, by his own admission, he is without conscience; a capitalist who functions with absolute amorality.

He once bought the Republican Party or at least a part of it.

It was Soros who saved George W. Bush's bacon when his management of an oil exploration company was ending in failure. Soros was the owner of Harken Energy Corporation, and it was he who bought the rapidly depreciating stocks just prior to the company's collapse. The future president cashed out at almost one million dollars. Soros said he did it to buy "political influence."

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT; SOROS WANTS MAJOR INFLUENCE IN OUR GOVERNMENT AND HE INTENDS TO BUY IT. Be sure you read the entire link, it might open your eyes to what is happening with both he and Lewis (a ten million dollar contribution to the Democrats and is always where Soros is). This is a truly big deal. These guys are trying to buy the United States. If you will check Google under George Soros, you will see that he's already bought Google; nothing there but philanthropy.

Bush looked cute in his National Guard apparel, seems to have swung the women's vote his way according to some polls. Well not where I work. These are tough left wing show biz bitches who think "he looks like a fucking fag," their view of him in a fighter jet looking down at the controls is viewed: "he's trying to find his midget cock" and so on. I think the cute part must be the views of the teeny bopper set, certainly not those of actual voters. Check Andrew Sullivan to see if the gay vote is swinging Bush's way.

BTW the "even if it's a forgery the charges are what are important" crowd is presenting us with a dangerous precedent. Following their "logic" any forgery must be taken seriously. When did you stop beating your wife? becomes an honest question. The Bush campaign has played the Air National Guard card quite well because they have kept lots of Air National Guard records to themselves in order to release them when they chose, the one released yesterday seeming to prove that he didn't get sneaked into the Guard.

One point regarding "preferential treatment." His old man was a sitting congressman at the time. Young Bush, like the young Al Gore, would never be allowed in a combat situation where either could be captured. Gore got very close to the front lines but you can bet that they would never allow him too close no matter how brave he was. FDR's son was prevented from combat even though he begged to be allowed to fight. Like it or not, politically vulnerable men and women are not going to be exposed to capture.

And back in LA, the LA Times is back to their slanted news presentation. Every day their lead front page story concerns the latest body count from Iraq.

Looks like I'm Wrong Again, and only back for one day. My post below in which I tried to credit Rather for trying to cover up a big time news source is way off base if the story on the Burkett leak is true. If this low life non-entity faxed a Kinko copy of a forgery then CBS is a plain toilet operation and deserves oblivion. Burkett is a nobody with a record of Bush hating and National Guard hating going way back. Wow. This is corruption not bias. Corruption of an entire news org because there were no corrorborating sources, no authentification of sources, no attempt to "just get the facts, ma'am."

MSM covering the Memogate:

The Titanic has just hit the iceberg, MSM is on board, and there is a shortage of lifeboats. MSM is just trying to save themselves from the inevitable disaster while the Captain (CBS) stands firm allowing all who have lifeboats to escape. This is a watershed moment for our media. Everything has changed.

Meanwhile, news of a major Art Auction in New York

ART WORKS FOR SALE

"DAY OF THE GODS" Paul Gauguin (1894)

"ASSUMPTION" Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) painted between 1516 and 1518

"MONA LISA" Leonardo da Vinci (1503-1505)

Auctioned tomorrow at Southebys in New York. All from the Dan Rather collection.
No bids under $20 will be accepted. Memos of authenticity available.

A newsman like Rather has developed exclusive sources over his thirty year career, that is how he got to the top. He has sources now that are so high up in so many places that to imagine his scope is impossible. They may go as high as Supreme Court Justices or court clerks, an assistant secretary of defense to his secretary, a mole in the White House to a mole in the DNC. Whoever gave him this story has given him many stories in the past that turned out to be true. He/she was trusted absolutely. He/she is very high up on the food chain.

Very very high.

Keep in mind that Viacom heavies Sumner Redstone and Mel Karmazin are both among the largest contributors and money raisers for the Democratic Party; both are as influential in the Party as anyone. Rather has his integrity, and as a part of his peculiar brand he ain't ratting out his highly placed sources. The source might bring down an entire political party, after all this story is about illegally changing the result of an election.

IT'S ALL ABOUT SOURCES, STUPID.

I have some experience working in the TV News field for a while for a very unethical news producer who couldn't be trusted to do an honest interview. She was fired for going on the air with a phony story she got from a source who needed whatever she was giving him. Reporters are only as good as their sources.

While I'm temporarily blogging here: Markets are shakey because everyone is trying to read the political tealeaves. Volume continues to be a concern and it may remain weak til after the election.
