if you have to ask…

August 17, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

When a right-wing conservative talk show host like Joe Scarborough has a show where the topic is “Is Bush an Idiot?”, I’d say you’ve got major problems. Personally, I don’t think the guy is an idiot. Uncurious? Yes. Detached? Absolutely. The very defintion of the S.N.A.F.U. Prinicple- disconnected from reality due to being surrounded by [...]

things fall apart

August 17, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

Bush is upset that Iraqi’s aren’t supporting the United States effort to bring them Democracy by killing 3,000 of their fellow citizens in July. Maybe the fact that Iraqi’s in Baghdad are being threatened to leave “or else” by the local militia/insurgency and that women are now wearing their hijab outside for fear of reprisal [...]

Elvis has left the building…

August 17, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

Yeah, I know. Everyone has been posting Elvis things. But, I had to post a video. I can’t say I was ever a huge Elvis fan. Sure, I dug his tunes. But, when he died in 1977 I was really starting to get into rock and roll. I was 13 years-old. And, in all honesty, [...]

webuzz – obvious o’ the day

August 12, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

Bush’s poll numbers continue to be bottom drawer and he is looking to win political points by politicing terrorism. Playing politics with our lives? Say it ain’t so Joe! Billmon notes the obvious – The Cheney Administrations policies in the Middle East are ensuring that the honeypot of terrorism will be swarming with angry buzzing [...]

The Noise Machine defines Democrats and Liberals

August 10, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

If Democrats are to regain control of the House and or Senate in the fall they have to define themselves, not allow the GOP and their hacks in the media to do it for them. The noise machine grinds ahead… examples: LAMONT’S UNSAVORY SUPPORTERS Dems Move Closer to McGovern’s Losing Formula Michael Moore writes an [...]

propaganda vs propaganda

August 7, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

Wingnuttia is atwitter and aghast that a photographer has been caught altering photos in a propaganda drenched war zone. It is imperative not to get hung up on the particulars of the Photoshopping, although both Sadly No! and Bob Harris make salient points worth noting. The real meat of the story here is how it [...]

People hear what they want to hear… spin insanity is contagious.

August 7, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

This is a repost from an old Jakeneck post I wished to save from the dungeon of the Google cache, where it has been purged. Retreived from the Wayback Machine. “I have a view that tackling these terrorist activities is on two levels. One level mainly is immediate; that is what the various governments, various [...]

webuzz – from israel to marx brothers…

August 3, 2006 by DJ Lanphier

Vanity Fair has The Norad Tapes from 9/11. One of the very important points to remember about that day is that the military system that protects the USA did not function. There are really only two possibilities: Either it failed because of incompetence or inability to respond or it failed because soldiers were told to [...]
