Custer Week, now in its ninth year, is a weeklong historical look at Gen. George Armstrong Custer and the Civil War. A variety of educational and social activities are planned, but this year it's even bigger, according to David C. Ingall, assistant director of the Monroe County Historical Museum.Damn
Gingrich Not Running in '08
ABC News has learned that former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, D-Ga., will not seek the presidency in 2008. As recently as Thursday, it was reported that he was planning to launch a website this coming Monday in an effort to raise $30 million by Oct. 21 to support a possible candidacy. Despite those earlier indications, Gingrich spokesman Rick Tyler confirms that Gingrich is staying out ...
[Damn it. With the Republican Party being dominated by the religious kook evangelicals, Newt would have won the nomination! Man, even Hillary, actually any Democrat, would crush Gingrich in the general election. - We missed a huge opportunity with Newt deciding not to enter.]
Excellently stated, Joe
"Where to begin on Rush Limbaugh's latest depravity? Well, you can say that he's got the authority, given his long illustrious combat record, to criticize the courage and patriotism of U.S. troops in the field...except, well, wait a minute. He doesn't have a combat record. Or you could remind that specious windbag that two of the seven soldiers who signed the New York Times op ed lost their lives in Iraq...and a third suffered a serious brain injury. But that would assume the man has shame. He doesn't. It is useful, however, to have these occasional Rushian effusions...a constant reminder of just how dreadfully ill-informed and profoundly unAmerican the boy is."
[Very nicely put, and right on the money, Mr. Klein.]
And, it's about damn time!
On Monday, Rep. Mark Udall (D-CO) will introduce a resolution condemning Rush Limbaugh’s comments that troops who support withdrawal from Iraq are “phony soldiers.” In a dear colleague letter, Udall says the resolution will honor “all Americans serving in the Armed Forces” while “condemning” Limbaugh’s “unwarranted attack.”
A resolution condemning our country's biggest chickenhawk is the absolute minimum that should be done. The America-hating, military loathing phony-patriot, and morally bankrupted pig is finally being exposed for exactly what 90% of his fan base are; Phony-'Support the Troops', chickenhawks who have never served a minute.

Come on, $10,000 a day?
WASHINGTON - Protecting former federal judge Michael Mukasey cost taxpayers an estimated $28 million over more than seven years — or $10,000 a day — even as Justice Department agencies argued about how much of a threat he faced. Now nominated to become the nation's 81st attorney general, Mukasey was given U.S. Marshals bodyguards while presiding over a high-profile terror trial in the early 1990s, when he served as a U.S. District Court judge in Manhattan. He kept the protections, code-named "Eagle Detail," until 2005 — nine years after the trial ended.
Psst-'experience' doesn't mean squat
Are you shittin' me, Huck?
“When we first invaded Afghanistan, Iran helped, especially in dealings with their ally, the Northern Alliance,” he said. “They wanted to join us in fighting al Qaida. …The CIA and State Department supported a partnership. Some in the White House and beyond did not. And when President Bush included Iran in the axis of evil, everything went downhill pretty fast.” […] -- Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a Republican, actually stating something factual on how Bush completedly botched what should have been our only objective. -- To kill Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda henchmen, with any 'coalition' partner who wanted to help.
[note to dumbass - bin Laden, al-Qaeda and the Taliban are Sunnis. Iranians are 90%+ Shiites -- go ask Huck ... he'll help your stupid-ass out]
Today a long time ago
[Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig, May 1927]"But Ruth caught Gehrig (who would finish with 47), and then had a remarkable last leg of the season, hitting 17 home runs in September. His 60th came on September 30, in the Yankees' next-to-last game. Ruth was exultant, shouting after the game, "Sixty, count 'em, sixty! Let's see some son-of-a-bitch match that!"
Shut up and grow a pair!
"On bases big and small south of Baghdad, the scrambled reality of war has become routine: an unending loop of anxious driving in armored Humvees, gallons of Gatorade, laughter at the absurd and 4 a.m. raids into intimate Iraqi bedrooms. This is Iraq for the 3,300 soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division’s Second Brigade, and many have come to the unfortunate realization that it now feels more like home than home. No brigade in the Army has spent more days deployed since Sept. 11, 2001, and with only a few weeks to go before ending their 15-month tour, the soldiers here are eager to go. But they are also nervous about what their minds will carry back, given the psychic toll of war day after day and the prospect of additional tours".
["Eager to go, and nervous"? Those soldiers would be called 'phony' by Rush Limbaugh - 'Eager to go' and worried about 'additional tours'? - 'phony soldiers' who are wimps and traitors according to wingnut chickenhawks]
Really good timing
Countrywide Financial Corp. Chairman and CEO Angelo Mozilo cashed in $138 million in stock options over the last year, switching his trading plans as the mortgage company went into a tailspin, it was reported Saturday.

Justice Clarence Thomas settles scores in an angry and vivid forthcoming memoir, scathingly condemning the media, the Democratic senators who opposed his nomination to the Supreme Court, and the "mob" of liberal elites and activist groups that he says desecrated his life. "My Grandfather's Son," for which Thomas has received a reported $1.5 million, is a 289-page memoir of his life in rural Georgia, his reliance on religious faith and his rise to the high court. His book ends with the day he was sworn in and contains only fleeting mentions of his time on the bench.[I would have left that part of your life out, too, Clarence]

The Limbaugh Award
Slam dunk. No contest. Limbaugh finally wins his own award.
After many times of being nominated the Committee could not possibly select anyone different for this week's, prestigious, but infamous, 'Limbaugh' award.
The Oxycotin-loving, Viagra-popping, Dominican Republic little boy seeking pedophile, and hero to the lowest rung of our society, was an obvious, and unanimous choice after he called the vast majority of our men and women serving in the Iraq occupation, 'Phony Soldiers'.
In an interview in 1992 with Jeff Greenfield of ABC News, Limbaugh said about Vietnam, "I had student deferments ... and I did not want to go".
Of course, you don't know what to believe with pathological liars; since he also said at one time that he didn't serve because of an 'old football injury', and then another time it was a 'cyst on his ass'.It's just like the former co-namesake of this award; When you're such a compulsive liar, [and dumber than a fucking rock] you easily get your lies mixed up and always end up looking stupid and exposed for what you truly are.
A dozen or so Afghanistan and Iraq Vets have a little something they'd like to show the draft-dodging - when it was his time, turned warmongering phony flag-waving chickenhawk when it's someone else's - Pig Boy, so here's a short 1-minute video from some of 'The Phony Soldiers'.
So good luck with your resolution tomorrow. We'll see how consistent those Republican Senators can be when it comes to condemning a true unAmerican traitor, who hates and disparages our troops.
Congratulations, slimeball. You finally made it, after long deserving it, and you're #31.
