Senate Panel Says No To Bush Breaking The Law

[The Hollywood Liberal] Some republicans are now actually going against every little thing that the Boy King wants. That is the first step on the road to his well deserved impeachment.

[Janeanegarofalo.us] I love Janeane Garofalo! - A blog about Janeane Garofalo: George Bush proved with the presidency what Sam Seder has proved with talk radio: that any hack with the right connections, the right family,  and assiduous ass-kissing can fail his way to the top of the poppermost. If a service-avoiding, cocaine-using, drunk-driving incompetent can become president, then just about anyone can.

[CRIMES AND CORRUPTIONS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER NEWS] Two Axioms of 9/11: With government and corporate media propaganda echoing the traumatic memories of five years ago, from sea to shining sea, enveloping the airwaves and print media of the nation with a clenched fist of wall to wall coverage, Americans have again been bombarded with the exploitation of the mass murder of 3,000 human beings, their death once more serving the political interests of the Bush cabal as well as the financial concerns of the corporate Leviathan. The War on the American People - that psychological operation against our minds and emotions that began with the demolition of the World Trade Center and has continued unabatedly for five consecutive years - has been reinvented and redeployed, its army of lackey journalists, talking heads, government institutions and authoritarian politicians eager to spread the language and images needed to resurrect emotions and feelings, spreading the filth designed to manipulate our fears and hatreds, conditioning us into accepting the dictates of the state and the corporation along with the reality of a world of perpetual war and perpetual terror.

[Discussion about 09/11/2001] [911TruthAction] Digest Number 1262: (b) even at its best, their reasoning tends toward casuistry, reflecting Cicero's injudicious maxim,"salus populi suprema lex esto" (De Legibus, III, 3.8: "Let the welfare of the people be the supreme law!" Or the Bushites' tortuous translation thereof: "We feel that we can legally torture our prisoners now if it might save our people later!"); and (c) for an apt example, see the history of the Third Reich's attorneys Hans Frank and Wilhelm Frick, whose pre-war legal advice to Reichsf����hrer Hitler was that Germany could use the pretext of an imminent threat to "preemptively" invade Poland, for which war crime they were both tried, sentenced, and hanged to death by the International Military Tribunal at N����remberg.

[The Gadflyer: Fly Trap] Does Mark Warner Hate Democrats?: Eric Alterman's latest "The Liberal Media" column begins, promisingly enough, with a diatribe about extremists such as William Donohue, of the "Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights" who has, on cable shows like Scarborough Country, expectorated such nonsense as "Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular." Alterman's larger point in the column is that the unthinking association of the right with religious piety represents yet another bias in media discourse about the moral values debate and its partisan dimensions, obscuring the genuine faith of many liberals and confusing the extremism of people like Donohue with devoutness.

[The Common Ills] Democracy Now: Philippe Sands, George Solomou,... : In comments the Los Angeles Times calls "among the frankest and bleakest public assessments of the Iraq situation by a high-level American official," U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad has warned of a full-blown civil war. Referring to the recent bombing of a Shiite shrine in Sammara, Khalilzad said: "If another incident [occurs], Iraq is really vulnerable to it at this time." Khalilzad went on to say: "We have opened the Pandora's box and the question is, what is the way forward?" His comments come just days after General Peter Pace, Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said things were "going very, very well" in Iraq.

[moquol - Journal] The End of Keyhole Pantomime: in the words of Sideshow Bob -- formulaic, it could have spewed from the Powerbook of the laziest Hollywood hack. The question is why we have the appetite for this sentimentality and manipulation, for the keyhole pantomime which has made Frey a celebrity.

[Limbo] In Your Future I See ...: In addition to formulating New Year’s resolutions, it seems to have become traditional on January 1 to make predictions of what will transpire over the next 12 months. Notwithstanding the opportunity for error (remember all those past prognostications that had Madonna undergoing a religious experience and becoming a gospel singer, and Barbara Walters being kidnapped by terrorists?), folks apparently can’t stop themselves from endeavoring to divine what events will soon be making headlines around the globe.
