Wish we were kidding. The administration which elevated terrorism from box cutters to a nuclear superpower now warns us against their use of spaceships.

The Bush administration warned Wednesday against threats by terrorist groups and other nations against U.S. commercial and military satellites, and discounted the need for a treaty aimed at preventing an arms race in space.

Undersecretary of State Robert G. Joseph also reasserted U.S. policy that it has a right to use force against hostile nations or terror groups that might try to attack American satellites or ground installations that support space programs. President Bush adopted a new U.S. space policy earlier this year.

"We reserve the right to defend ourselves against hostile attacks and interference with our space assets," Joseph said in prepared remarks to the George C. Marshall Institute.

Joseph, the senior arms control official at the State Department, said nations cannot all be counted on to use space purely for peaceful purposes.

We forced Saddam to disarm himself of weapons he didn't even have. Victory.
We removed Saddam from power. Victory.
Iraq had those free elections. Victory.
A governing body was set up. Victory.
Victory, victory, victory.

So when Bush says, to this day, we must win in Iraq - what the blue hell are we trying to win?

Seriously. Please tell us. What's the goal now? I beg someone to ask him this question.

If it's victory over al Qaeda, Bush gave that one up when he went to Iraq.
If it's victory over fascism, the fascist of Iraq is gone.
If it's victory over Iraqis, then they're suddenly the bad guys instead of the people we were trying to liberate.
If it's victory over the terrorists, I got news for you - you gave them Iraq, sir.

"Victory." Over WHAT? The president obviously has no idea.

Oh, God. No. Donald Rumsfeld is hopping on the WMD bandwagon.

Asked about the potential danger to U.S. troops, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said: "They are weapons of mass destruction. They are harmful to human beings. And they have been found."

Between this, the "early stage" domestic terror plot breakup in Miami, the new Zawahiri tape and a scary news coming from all directions, we can conclude one thing:

Karl Rove is indeed back.

The San Diego County Board of Elections site isn't as speedy as it should be, but it's a pantload faster than the CA State site or the one Kos is using:

http://www.sdvote.org/...

24.8% of the vote counted:
Bilbray - 50.02%
Busby - 44.05%
Griffith - 4.16%
King - 1.77%

Amazing that the SD GOPers will vote the party line - even after Cunningham and even after Bilbray considers Arlington, VA his primary address. Unreal.

UPDATE: 35.6% counted...
BRIAN BILBRAY - 30683 49.80%
FRANCINE BUSBY - 27383 44.44%

Cool...Kos is now linking to the SD site. Go Busby, and good night!

As you read from Armando, the ethical fallen rock zone called Bill Frist has given his real reason for wanting Alito.

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist told Republican Party activists on Friday night that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito was the "worst nightmare of liberal Democrats."

So because Alito's a nightmare to liberal Democrats - which I'm guessing is a majority of Democrats - he's the guy Frist wants.

Great reasoning. And for the troll audience (which seems to have grown by leaps and bounds out of desperation), let's show you a quote from the guy who made a couple of SCOTUS recommendations during the previous administration. Mind you, this was before the GOP's "takeover" of the senate in 1994...

Satan's Little Messenger chimes in. USA Today:

Vice President Dick Cheney on Tuesday vigorously defended the Bush administration's use of secret domestic spying and efforts to expand presidential powers, saying "it's not an accident that we haven't been hit in four years."

"I believe in a strong, robust executive authority and I think that the world we live in demands it. And to some extent, that we have an obligation as the administration to pass on the offices we hold to our successors in as good of shape as we found them," he said.

So what is his explanation for our not getting hit from January '93 through 9/11/01? But wait - Cheney delivers this threat to opponents:

"If there's a backlash pending," because of reports of National Security Agency surveillance of calls originating within the United States, he said, "I think the backlash is going to be against those who are suggesting somehow that we shouldn't take these steps to defend the country."

Oh? Okay. Bring it on, tough guy. That is, if your black heart can handle the battle.

The White House did it. They held a gun to Scotty's head to spew out this officially sanctioned poison.

This, friends, is how the White House treats the people who actually DID support them on the war. The ones who truly believed they were doing the right thing at the outset. They piss all over him. Publicly.

These people are scum. Pure scum.

Statement by the Press Secretary

Congressman Murtha is a respected veteran and politician who has a record of supporting a strong America. So it is baffling that he is endorsing the policy positions of Michael Moore and the extreme liberal wing of the Democratic party. The eve of an historic democratic election in Iraq is not the time to surrender to the terrorists. After seeing his statement, we remain baffled -- nowhere does he explain how retreating from Iraq makes America safer.

Time for America to converge on this White House and kick these people out. They're completely out of control.

[Title revised for accuracy]

Senate Minority (Until 2006, anyway) Leader Harry Reid and Sens. Carl Levin and Dick Durbin held a press conference unveiling the Democratic plan for resolving Bush's Iraq shitstorm. Hey - SOMEONE had to come up with a friggin' plan...

Oh, this is good. This is VERY good. It paints Bush as a totally immature whining boob with no vision - and paints the Dems as the can-do truth tellers we've always been. We LIKE this, we LIKE this. And it's SOMETHING - which counters the White House's NOTHING.

Moreover, they're royally frucked.

I had to share this with you guys. Mark down this date: September 25, 2005. We may have witnessed the death of the Freeper movement today.

This is just too damned hilarious. Here's the earlier story:

Military families and other defenders of the war in Iraq were claiming their turn to demonstrate, responding to a huge war protest with a rally of their own on the National Mall.

Organizers hoped to draw several thousand people to their noontime event near the National Air and Space Museum. They acknowledged the rally would be much smaller than Saturday's antiwar protest in Washington but said their message would not be overshadowed.

"People have been fired up over the past month, especially military family members, and they want to be heard," said Kristinn Taylor, a leader of FreeRepublic.com, one of the sponsors of Sunday's event.

Well, it's been three weeks of demonstrations by the obnoxious lib'rul grieving mother and (now) the God-fearin' fine upstanding Americans we call the Bush supporters. Let's see how many demonstrators have been cuffed and hauled off, shall we?

Camp Casey after three weeks: 0
Pro-Bush Demonstrators after one day: 1

One pro-Bush demonstrator was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of interfering with the duties of a police officer.

Since this only covers the first full day of the "Cindy Doesn't Speak For Me" posse's arrival, that doesn't even include Shotgun Guy or Pickup Truck Drunk Guy. Jesus, these Bush people are outta control.

This is indeed a welcome bill. Let your rep know you support the removal of media monopolies and letting small companies own TV and radio stations again.

Congressman Seeks Return Of National Radio Ownership Cap

Rep. Maurice Hinchey today introduced the Media Ownership Reform Act of 2005, which, among other things, aims to restore a limit on how many radio stations a company can own nationwide and reduce the number of stations any one company could own in one market.
