Beck & his producer, Stu, provided a humorous angle on the new “Disinformation Czar” at the White House. You know, that Linda Douglass woman whose new job is to encourage citizens to forward ANY “fishy” emails they receive from friends, or web postings they encounter that might indicate any “disinformation” about the Obamacare plan, they should send that information directly to the White House at flag@WhiteHouse.gov. She’s apparently the gate-keeper of all things disparaging of Obama’s plans. That by itself indicates to me that they’re on hyperdrive regarding sensitivity (i.e. opposing views) on issues for any of Obama’s directives, and controlling the message comes at the highest cost.
Since when did we become a nation of snitches? Who at the “flag” address will keep or store this information? Will it be kept indefinitely? Who knows. I do know, however, that if it had been George W. Bush who suggested this, we’d never hear the end of it from the likes of Joy Behar or Bill Maher. But with Obama (whom I call B-Ho), it’s apparently a different standard. Ah, s’aight. No biggie… it’s all for the collective greater good.
Yeah, right. Sign me up! /sarc
P.S. Stu, you DON’T look good in drag. However, you were more attractive than Linda Douglass. That in and of itself is scary. YIKES!
Britain’s Channel 4 news anchor, John Sparks, takes new web superstar, MEP Daniel Hannan, to task for ‘attacking’ PM Gordon Brown in the latest YouTube sensation. Sparks even takes it upon himself to try and deconstruct and disprove Hannan’s speech on the floor of the Parliament, indicating it was only picked up by the angry right-wing blogosphere in America, including the likes of Rush Limbaugh, the Drudge Report, etc.
On top of that, Derek Draper, MP of the Labour Party and founder of the LabourList website, was on to try and accuse Hannan of plagiarism and other unsavory things.
This explains to me so clearly why Hannan is and has been truly stunned by his resonance in the western world, but mostly by the American alternative media. Daniel, you are not alone, and we would gladly welcome you here as a brother who is strident in his conservative principles. Yes, Hannan said he would have voted for Obama, but it was only because ‘everybody’ wanted anything but Bush.
Funniest part of this video? Draper calls Rush Limbaugh the “kiss of death for any rational person.” Second funniest? Sparks calls Gordon Brown a ‘victim’ of Hannan’s floor speech.
Chrissy, meet John Sparks… Sparks, meet Chrissy Matthews. Watch out for that “thrill” going up your respective legs. Liberal media bias indeed.
Senator Gregg Statement on His Withdrawal for Consideration of U.S. Commerce Secretary
Sen. Gregg stated, “I want to thank the President for nominating me to serve in his Cabinet as Secretary of Commerce. This was a great honor, and I had felt that I could bring some views and ideas that would assist him in governing during this difficult time. I especially admire his willingness to reach across the aisle.
“However, it has become apparent during this process that this will not work for me as I have found that on issues such as the stimulus package and the Census there are irresolvable conflicts for me. Prior to accepting this post, we had discussed these and other potential differences, but unfortunately we did not adequately focus on these concerns. We are functioning from a different set of views on many critical items of policy.
“Obviously the President requires a team that is fully supportive of all his initiatives.
“I greatly admire President Obama and know our country will benefit from his leadership, but at this time I must withdraw my name from consideration for this position.
“As we move forward, I expect there will be many issues and initiatives where I can and will work to assure the success of the President’s proposals. This will certainly be a goal of mine.
“Kathy and I also want to specifically thank Governor Lynch and Bonnie Newman for their friendship and assistance during this period. In addition we wish to thank all the people, especially in New Hampshire, who have been so kind and generous in their supportive comments.
“As a further matter of clarification, nothing about the vetting process played any role in this decision. I will continue to represent the people of New Hampshire in the United States Senate.”
My guess is the fiscal conservative in him could no longer go along with this sham spendiferous bill. Was it that, or the move of the Census Bureau from under the Commerce Dept. to Rahm Emanuel?
Just breaking, one of the most senior judges in England says Sharia law should be practiced in the U.K. WTF is he thinking? Here’s a piece from the article:
Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips said that Islamic legal principles could be employed to deal with family and marital arguments and to regulate finance.
He declared: ‘It is possible in this country for those who are entering into a contractual agreement to agree that the agreement shall be governed by a law other than English law.’
In his speech in an East London mosque Lord Phillips signalled approval of sharia principles as a means of settling disputes so long as no punishments that conflict with the established law are involved, and as long as divorces are made to comply with the civil law.
Is he freakin’ kidding us? Creeping Sharia is already on its way, but now a top official in the high courts in Britain comes out with this excrement sandwich? The people of the U.K. should be completely outraged and call for his dismissal, or whatever means they use, from the court. What a sham. Here are some of the “delightful” points of Sharia Law and Muslims in the U.K.:
* Sharia law is based on the Koran, on associated teaching about the life of the Prophet Mohammed, and on the judgements of Islamic clerics and lawyers down the centuries.
* It is in essence a set of religious principles by which Muslims are required to live. Sharia is interpreted and enforced differently in different countries across the Islamic world.
* Islamic law is often regarded as having four parts: how Muslims should worship; commerce; crime and punishment; and marriage and divorce.
* Sharia says forbidden behaviour, like drinking alcohol and taking drugs, or adultery, should be punished. Islamic scholars say the Koran sets down punishments such as lashes or stoning for adultery.
* Sharia law also permits behaviour not allowed by English law, for example (sic) polygamy, which in some jurisdictions says men may have up to four wives.
* In Britain, sharia courts are often operated by mosques. Muslim families come to sharia courts for justice and agree to be bound by their rulings.
* They have no formal legal status.
* There are around 1.6 million British Muslims, most of whom are of Pakistani origin. The strongest Muslim communities are in London, especially in the East London borough of Tower Hamlets where Lord Phillips spoke yesterday, Birmingham, Yorkshire and Lancashire.
* Orthodox Jews operate Beth Din courts which are subordinate to the civil law and which decide issues among 180,000 people according to ancient Jewish law. They are regulated by the Chief Rabbi. A divorcing Jewish couple first divorce in the civil courts, then come to the Beth Din tribunals for religious judgement.
* The only religious courts in England with full and official legal status are the consistory courts and tribunals which decide disputes and disciplinary matters in the Church of England.
WWTBS (What would Tony Blair Say?)
Boy, is the West ever screwed if B. Hussein Obama gets elected.
… the documents that you hid, Sandy Burglar. You took them, with permission (who says Clinton could give him that permission?) from the National Archives in 2003, in order to prepare for your testimony on Bin Laden, the Sudan and Al Qaeda. So, where are they now? Did anybody else get to steal documents from the National Archives to prepare for their testimony? Oh, that’s right… you’re a democrap and you have a different set of rules.
Here’s just a sample of the piece from the AP today:
WASHINGTON (AP) – Former national security adviser Sandy Berger removed classified documents from the National Archives in 2003 and hid them under a construction trailer, the Archives inspector general reported Wednesday.
…and further…..
Brachfeld reported that on one visit, Berger took a break to go outside without an escort.
“In total, during this visit, he removed four documents … .
“Mr. Berger said he placed the documents under a trailer in an accessible construction area outside Archives 1 (the main Archives building).”
Berger acknowledged that he later retrieved the documents from the construction area and returned with them to his office.
Berger, with the authorization of former President Clinton, was reviewing National Security Council documents on Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida, Sudan, and related presidential correspondence. The review was to facilitate Berger’s impending testimony before the House and Senate intelligence committees.
Okay, now can someone please answer the question for me why the CIA non-leak case is still going on, and nothing really significant ever happened to Sandy Burglar?
Just now breaking on Drudge (and you MUST cite Drudge if you mention this article), this whole IM thing with Jordan Edmund was a prank!
XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU OCT 5 2006 2:53:48 ET XXXXX
CLAIM: FILTHY FOLEY ONLINE MESSAGES WERE PAGE PRANK GONE AWRY
**World Exclusive**
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**
According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded Foley to type embarrassing comments that were then shared with a small group of young Hill politicos. The prank went awry when the saved IM sessions got into the hands of political operatives favorable to Democrats. This source, an ally of Edmund, also adamantly proclaims that the former page is not a homosexual. The prank scenario was confirmed by a second associate of Edmund.
Keep watching Drudge for the latest… this is getting VERY very strange.

I don’t agree with Stewart’s political views, but when he’s funny, he’s really funny. Check out this latest video of his recent discovery of Chatroulette.
I didn’t know Brian Williams had that good a sense of humor! I needed this laugh today.

At the RSA Conference in San Francisco, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano discusses three efforts underway to ensure the security of the nation’s cyberinfrastructure. This includes the development of National Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan, which will facilitate a coordinated response to cyberthreats from the federal government, local city [...]
I guess the Dem’s honeymoon is truly over. Jon Stewart is officially going after the dems. In this episode, he takes on Nancy Pelosi, David Paterson, Charlie Rangel.
Finally…Stewart’s finding his bi-partisan sweet spot.
