It's a (not so) dirty little (not so) secret fact that when the Brittish army killed Irish protestors, and went on to use torture in North Ireland, American citizens donated millions over several decades to the IRA. The IRA even had official offices in Boston for years. This wasn't a secret to anyone. And Bill O'Reily knows this first hand.
Yet dispite living for years in a place where real understanding about the source of terrorism was commonly known and widespread, he ignores his heritage. He's nothing but a little sellout bitch. Not just to the Irish, but to all Americans. Read more... (2 comments, 796 words in story) by McGirk SF
I had originally posted this on Daily Kos a few months back. I just realised I forgot to cross post it here, so here it is
I often wonder why people still adhere to the outdated concept of "Liberals" and "Conservatives". These dynamics no longer exist. The country is being run by the Neo-Cons, a bunch of idealogues who kept all that sucked about conservatives, took everything redeeming, tossed it out the window, and replaced it with everything that sucked about liberals, thus forming a supersuck movement. Now, the NeoCons are smart. They keep using the old terminology to hoodwink us all. We have to come up with a new name for ourselves, the people who are left on the outside. Why? Because there are alot of people who have far more in common with us than the DLC still consider themselves conservatives in the old teminology, and would never consider themselves liberals. To tell the truth, we don't neccisarily qualify for that name ourselves.

I don't know if anyone has posted this, but it seems that the Military is getting ready for another war, this time against us.

I was loving it a few weeks ago when Howard Dean knocked Wolf Blitzer on his high, haughty, self important ass. Now it's Katie Courics turn.

A while ago, one of my dearist friends asked me to pass on an E-mail she recieved. Being the total rock star that I am, I decided to do her one better and put it up for a national audience. Anything for my sexy scorpio.

There have been so many assholes profiting off human suffering in the past several years, its easy for some to get lost in the crowd. It's even easier if they are not well know to begin with. Here's a guy who deserves a bit of attention. His name is Finis Shellnutt. He is, at the very least, an ignorant piece of shit. At worst, he could even make the entire Republican House look respectable all by himself. Anyone who suspects something sketchy went down in regards to Katrina will definetly want to check this guy out.

Yesterday on CNN, Nancy Pelosi got a knockout shot in at CNN talking barbie doll Kyra Phillips.A single shot that may knockout the entire MSM propaganda network. While being interviewed in the partisan framed manner we've become all to accustomed to, Ms. Pelosi did what we've been waiting for someone to do when she said, "Kyra, if you want to make a case for the White House, you should go on their payroll."
http://www.crooksandliars.com/ If you watch this, you will notice Kyra's facial expression as her eyes pop wide open. Her tone of voice changes as she recoils back slightly and gives a very nervous smile. Read more... (5 comments, 733 words in story) by McGirk SF
Here in California, as you all know, we were victems of the energy industry manipulating the market to screw us out of billions. Interestingly the price fluctuations were paralleled with what was happlening in DC. The price started to rise then stabelized while the 2000 election results were held up. Once Bush got in the went through the roof. Clinton then capped the prices for the remander of his term, Bush then removed the caps, and then they realy went nuts until May when Jim Jeffords left the Republican party, thus giving Democrats controll of senate. That day the prices dropped back down and never rose again.
Which brings me to oil. Read more... (236 words in story) by McGirk SF
Yeah, like we didn't see this comming. I would have assumed they'd be smart enough to wait a week or so before letting this out of the bag. Oh, well at least we know what Chaney has been up to the past few days.
http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/news/hurricane_katrina.html From article:"WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 (HalliburtonWatch.org) -- The US Navy asked Halliburton to repair naval facilities damaged by Hurricane Katrina, the Houston Chronicle reported today. The work was assigned to Halliburton's KBR subsidiary under the Navy's $500 million CONCAP contract awarded to KBR in 2001 and renewed in 2004. The repairs will take place in Louisiana and Mississippi." Read more... (8 comments, 195 words in story) by McGirk SF
We've seen the right wing attack machine in action for at least a decade now. We've seen how vile and brutal they can be in attacking those on the left. But it has been surprising how tepid they have been with Sean Penn. I mean, they love attacking Barbera Striesand, Angelina Jolie, Michael Moore, ect. So when Sean Penn goes to Iran to cover the elections for liberal San Francisco's home newspaper, as he had prexiously done in Iraq, you'd think the Roveites would be in a self rightious uproar. You'd think they would be spinning this into Jane Fonda territory, seeing how it's the closest anyone in Hollywood has come to her visit to Hanoi many years ago. So why don't we see the right doing anything beyond the bare minimum of criticism. I wondered about this and then it hit me.
