I wish I lived in Minnesota so I could vote for this guy. I hope he wins in 08. I may contribute to his campaign. I hope he tells the penis on the forehead joke. I hope he remains real.

Spocko returns :-)
For example, I can not imagine that Dr. Julian Feneley, Chief Executive Officer of BriteSmile Inc. which is headquartered-in Walnut Creek, wants to hear right before his ad Lee Rogers say this about a listener, “I’ve got to try and track that email address and do something unpleasant to his cojones, if he has any.” “None.” says Melanie Morgan as she launches in to the BriteSmile commercial.

Like Frank Sinatra, he got to do it his way
TLarry Beinhart: Give George Bush His War | The Huffington Post
Probably one of the most lucid blog posts asking serious questions about the war. Is it "our" war or is it "Bushe's" war?
Evangelical Hatred
The best comment I have seen on a blog today. Posted as a comment about this post regarding the 15 year old who makes anti-war video's.
The American Evangelical right wing should all be shipped to Iraq to be with their Taliban and Al-Quaeda brothers and sisters in religious hatred. They look alike, they sound alike, and they think alike.
Colbert Deserves a Medal
Arianna wraps up the Colbert performance at the White House Corrospondents Dinner perfectly in her blog today. I am glad she is keeping the topic alive.
Everytime I see Colbert on TV I just want to give him some hugs and pats on the back. While I believe the word "hero" has been overused to the point that the term is almost meaningless today - I submit that Steven Colbert is an American Hero - however reluctantly he wears that title.
Ray McGovern with Paula
Former 27-year CIA analyst Ray McGovern courageously challenged Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld yesterday afternoon in Atlanta about his lies about Iraq’s WMD program. He was interviewed last night by CNN’s Paula Zahn. Watch it:
I was really glad to see that Paula had the guy on and let him give some context to the Q&A with Rumsfield. Is it just me seeing this, or is becomming an amost daily event to have someone stand up and question what is going on around here? The word revolt comes to mind…or is it that most of us are just revolted by this admin?
Chris Durang: Ignoring Colbert
The Blog | Chris Durang: Ignoring Colbert, Part Two | The Huffington Post
Colbert's was a brave and shocking performance. And for the media to pretend it isn't newsworthy is a total bafflement. And a symbol of how shoddy and suspect the media is.
Thank You Stephen Colbert.
If you didn't see Stephen Colbert Saturday night with the President and the press, you missed a rare television event…the truth…spoken to power.
Check Crooks & Liars for details of the event, links to stories in the news and blogs and get the transcript at The Daily Kos.
Go thank Steven at the link above. Over 1800 comments left there so far. Thank You Stephen Colbert.
Shock & Awe at the White House Correspondents Dinner
Steven Colbert channeling his Bill O'Reilly persona at the White House Correspondents dinner :
"I believe that the government that governs best is a government that governs least, and by these standards we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq."
Crooks and Liars has it all. Remember to read the comments
They came in fast and furious. C&L is a must read blog -even if it's a slow news day.
I gotta say the Colbert part of the evening was painful to watch. It was funny in a "I can't believe he said that," kind of way. It was funny "ha ha" in parts. I also believe it is about time someone actually said what many of us are thinking directly, clearly (though in satire mode) and most importantly to their face. The powers that be (including the press) seemed unamused though riveted to their seats.
The Moderate Voice has more.
