How the fuck did Obama sell out now? What happens when you get close to democracy that you shit yourself?

Crisis Deepens as Big Bank Fails

I swear to Christ. If the dems can't show that this depression is not "all in your head", they don't deserve to win the Black House, assuming it can still be legitimately won.

Mr Bubbles vs Helicopter Ben

Merrill Lynch says US headed for DEPRESSION.

McCain is a bigamist.

IOIYAAR. Can you just imagine Lush Limbaugh and the rest of the right wing press if Obama was a bigamist?

Red Cross: Bush administration officials who approved them guilty of war crimes.

The Red Cross report, according to Mayer’s book, found that the torturous interrogation methods used by the CIA “could make the Bush administration officials who approved them guilty of war crimes.”

As ThinkProgress noted at the time of Bush’s denial, Mayer originally reported that top administration officials, including Rice and National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, were “believed to have seen” the report.

Bush Administration implicated in Anthrax terrorist attacks.

“terrorist” is a home grown rightwinger who has connections to BushCo.

First, McCain has no idea how Social Security works.

Second, McCain lives in the Washington bubble;

Finally, McCain has surrounded himself with people who hate Social Security. They probably tell him that it’s a doomed Ponzi scheme, and he believes them.

Iran: You Suck At Photoshop

Or perhaps the headline of this post should read, "American media: you suck at fact-checking."

Iran's state-run media agency has been accused before of having digitally manipulated images released to foreign media. This week, as word spread of purported missile tests in Iran, the validity of an image of four missiles shooting into the sky turned out to be photoshopped -- but not before a bunch of big news organizations printed it as legit.

Not with a bang but with a whimper

And so it ends, this Great Experiment of ours, this free nation forged by a bunch of hemp-smokers and womanizers who dared say no to a king and founded a nation that not so long ago was not just the most powerful nation on earth, but one admired and emulated by the rest of the world.

No more.

America has been lost.

“Amigo! Amigo!” Mr. Bush called out cheerily in Spanish when he spotted the Italian prime minister. “How you doing, Silvio? Good to see you!”

Note to Chimpy: Italians speak Italian, not Spanish. By yelling "Amigo" to the Italian Prime Minsiter, not only do you insult the Prime Minister, you've managed to humiliate yourself and look like the uneducated baffoon you really are.

What's bigger that "World Class Asshole" title for George aWol Bush??

I'm mean there are assholes, then there are assholes. Chimpy is a fucking asshole.

…He told his fellow leaders: “Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter.”
President Bush made the private joke in the summit’s closing session, senior sources said yesterday. His remarks were taken as a two-fingered salute from the President from Texas who is wedded to the oil industry.

Chimpy is simply not helping the American people, in any shape or form.

republicans are racist

And happy to write off the minority vote.

On line perception management: propaganda and sabotage

We can identify two general methods of online ratfucking: propaganda and sabotage. Propaganda is promoting anti-Republican bullshit to a general audience; the model would be Swift Boat Veterans for Truth; the methods would include mass emailing and posting to large, unmoderated general interest message boards. Sabotage is undermining and/or co-opting pro-Republican organizations or communities; the model would be Cointelpro; the methods are legion. Sabotage is the more interesting method, its techniques mirroring those of movement-building:

McCain: The Iraqis are not asking for a timetable for withdrawal

Q: Senator, with Iraqi leaders now calling for a timetable for U.S. troop withdrawals–

McCAIN: Actually, the Iraqis are not. The Iraqis were widely reported as short a time ago as a couple of weeks ago that there would be no status of forces agreement, and Maliki would say that, and it got headlines, and of course it turned out not to be true.

You know what's coming, right?

Iraqi National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie also remarked, “We would not accept any memorandum of understanding with [the U.S.] side that has no obvious and specific dates for the foreign troops’ withdrawal from Iraq.”

American has been lost.
