Robert Parry: “Just as Sylvester and Tweety Bird achieved lasting Hollywood fame from their comical cartoon chases, the less amusing duo of George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden continue to benefit each other by reviving their long-distance rivalry, one posturing against the other in a way that helps them both.”

Gregoire initially withheld the information, but released it to The Associated Press this week.

Hey Redneck! And all the rest of you “global-warming-is-bunk” deniers! I’ve got NEWS for you:
“Scorching Summer Sets Records in U.S.
“By Doyle Rice,USA Today
“(Sept. 7) – If you thought it was unusually hot this summer, you were right: Nationally, the summer of 2007 was the sixth-warmest since records began in 1885, based on preliminary data from the National Climatic Data Center. …
“Specifically, it was the warmest summer ever recorded in Utah and Nevada. And cities such as Washington, D.C. (Dulles Airport), Raleigh, Key West, Boise, Las Vegas, Reno and Salt Lake City, all endured their hottest June-August period on record. Only two of the lower 48 states -– Texas and Oklahoma –- were cooler-than-average. And August 2007 … was the second-warmest August nationally on record since 1885 ….” http://tinyurl.com/2qdarw
Oh! Remember Mark the Retardo asking how many HURRICANES we’ve had this year? So far — not counting the TYPHOONS that have slammed Asia — a pair of Category 5s, TWO hurricanes in ONE DAY, and now ANOTHER tropical storm is forming:
“CHARLESTON, S.C. (Sept. 8) – Subtropical Storm Gabrielle moved toward the East Coast, where a tropical storm warning was in effect for North Carolina’s shoreline early Saturday.” http://tinyurl.com/39hrd9
The good news is that when you’re drying out from the hurricane of the day, you can boil water for coffee simply by setting the pot on the sidewalk.
Roger Rabbit spews:
A Republican congressman says cutting interest rates on student loans is BAD for students because the rate cut is a “trap” that might “ensnare” students in lower rates!
“California Rep. Buck McKeon, the leading Republican on the House education committee, criticized the rate cut. He said students will go back to paying the higher rate in four years or taxpayers will have to foot the bill for the cut to continue. ‘What once was a [Democratic] campaign promise has become a trap that will ensnare either students or taxpayers,’ McKeon said.” http://tinyurl.com/2guzwc
The good news is both houses of Congress passed the bill by veto-proof majorities. Yep, you guessed it, every single representative and senator who voted AGAINST interest rate relief for students is a REPUBLICAN.

@6 Move Along, There’s Nothing To See Here
No doubt Stefan will parse this info looking for some dark conspiracy. The first (and only) thing I see is that 5 of these 7 individuals are lawyers. Seems obvious Gregoire didn’t want the Sunshine Committee totally dominated by lawyers.

Roger Rabbit spews:
@13 There’s much more going on here than how much interest students pay on their college loans. Republicans have always opposed programs that help kids from less affluent programs attend college. Why? Because:
They don’t believe in equal opportunity
They don’t want a level playing field
Above all, they don’t want poor (but smart) kids competing against THEIR KIDS. They’re trying to preserve a class-based system of wealth and privilege that’s based on who your parents are, not on how hard you work. They don’t want a competitive society because that would force to work hard to stay in the game. Republicans hate competition because the LAST thing they want is to have to WORK! The whole point of being a Republican is to live off other people’s work so they don’t have to work!
Student financial aid programs is one of 3 things that transformed me, virtually overnight from a Goldwater Republican to a progressive Democrat.
Growing up in a community where everyone was Republican, including my teachers, naturally I fell under the spell of conservative dogma. I was too young and inexperienced to know better.
But I wasn’t one of those kids with a daddy writing college tuition checks. If I wanted a college education, I would have to get it the hard way. The hardest way imaginable — by working shitty minimum wage jobs, because that’s the only work available in college towns where there’s 100 times as many jobseekers as jobs. Even worse, I lived and went to school in the South, where they treat people like serfs to begin with.
As hard as I worked — and I worked VERY hard at VERY hard jobs — I couldn’t support myself let alone pay college expenses on what the minimum wage was in those days. I got a few scholarships, which helped, but that wasn’t enough either. I needed student loans — loans I could afford to pay back someday. In short, I couldn’t afford to pay crippling interest.
It didn’t take me very long to figure out who supported decent wages and working conditions, and student aid programs — and who kept people down, closed doors, and treated working stiffs live dirt. It took me less than 24 hours to become a Democrat.
So … that’s 2 of the 3 reasons I changed parties — student aid and looking after workers. The third reason was the Vietnam War was going on at the time, and it was clear which party regarded poor kids like me as mere cannon fodder. Yes, it’s true I ended up in the Army and served a combat tour in Vietnam — but I wasn’t drafted. I enlisted on my own terms. No Republican asshole sitting on a draft board scooped me up and sent me to war so his kid wouldn’t have to go; I went because they were drafting fathers and by volunteering to go, I made it possible for some dad to stay home and raise his kids. I chose to do that; I wasn’t made to do it by some goddamned Republican, and that was (and is) very important to me.
But it was Republicans’ hatred of the poor, including poor students, that started me on the path to being a Democrat. I didn’t like being hated simply for what I was. Fer chrissakes, I hadn’t done anything to them! Living and working in the South, I understood how African-Americans felt. They hadn’t done anything either, except be born a different race, and they were hated for that. Well, sir, those goddamned Republicans hated rabbits, too! They didn’t even think a rabbit should be in college, much less get financial aid! Some even said the only thing rabbits are good for is hunting us! Well, you can imagine how that made ME feel.
It made me feel I needed new friends. The old crowd wasn’t working out. And that’s exactly what I found in the Democratic Party — friends! Democrats welcomed me with open arms. They didn’t care if I was furry, had long ears, and weighed only 6.25 lbs! Their philosophy was appealing, too. They didn’t believe in Republicans getting paid for my work; they believed I should get paid for my work! I liked that idea. They figured an ambitious rabbit trying to improve himself is just as deserving as some goddamned Republican whose only self-improvement in his whole life consisted of going to a lawyer’s office after grandpa died to claim his trust fund! Their ideas resonated. Democrats were on my side, and Republicans were against me because I wasn’t born rich and privileged like them.
And that, dear friends, is how I became a Democrat.

@14 “Wow, I spent two full weeks drunk and stoned in Australia…”
Yes, it’s true that back in my youthful college days, some of my Democrat friends drank and even smoked pot! And got stoned! Thanks to their unions, they all smoke $5 cigars now. Democrats know how to live. Republicans are stuffed shirts whose idea of fun is working 80 hours a week for a law firm and think enjoying sex is a mortal sin. What a fucking bunch of wet blankets. If you gave a toke to a Republican, he wouldn’t know what to do with it! Their whole problem is they haven’t gotten mellow ever since their mothers threw them out a window.

Of course we got caught. We didn’t get prosecuted until we went to the press. The only reason they pressed charges is because I went to the press. I supppose they are so used to letting dead democrats register that I wouldn’t make any waves.

@45
Mos Def said: “George Washington and all them dudes was terrorists as far as the Queen was concerned.”
Right, meaning that they weren’t really terrorists, except for how they were viewed by the British monarchy. Wow, you were too stupid to follow a political statement by a rapper who believes that 9/11 was an inside job. How pathetic is that?
Then he said terrorists have legitimate grievances against us?
People in the Middle East most certainly have legitimate grievances against us. And that fact helps the terrorists.
He also called the Catholic Church terrorists.
I’m a Jew, you retard. Did it ever occur to you that a Jew might look at the history of the Holocaust and also come to that conclusion.
And you Lee swallowed it up. Probably cheered him on from your responses here.
I found his responses interesting. He’s considerably smarter than you, but he still believes in some ridiculous stuff.

Always.

They do? How so?
From Bin Laden’s tape you’ll only survive if you accept Islam and Sha’ria law, since Donk hate the military. Well good luck Lee.
Actually, we’ll only survive if we don’t keep giving Bin Laden more and more power to sustain a war with the west. Since the Democrats are the only ones who seem to grasp this, they’re our best hope right now of keeping ourselves from the threat of radical Islam.
