29 Palms: An Oasis of Murals Part II

nobody@vox.com(Raven Jake) — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:57:11 +0000

Is it Possible there is ONLY an Appearance of a China/Russia Alliance?

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 20:42:24 +0000

1913Intel.com has picked an essay from Stratfor.com relating to bilateral relations between China and Russia. (Thus I have accomplished part of my due diligence of giving credit to who credit is due.) Now you really need to read this essay by ...

Why Won't The Messiah Say Win

nobody@vox.com(concretebob) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:13:28 +0000

The Chosen One is in Iraq on a "fact-finding" election campaign. Lets face it, this is a campagin tour. No one with any sense doubts that for a moment. You have fawning MSM anchors practically kissing the ground and Katie Couric ready to climax o...

Where were the US networks in March?

nobody@vox.com(Jack Yan) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:30:38 +0000

I see from Deutsche Welle and al-Jazeera that Sen. Barack Obama’s overseas trip has received huge coverage, including a big interview on CBS’s Meet the Press. So, where were all these networks when Sens. John McCain and Joe Lieberman went to Ir...

nobody@vox.com(Alethinos Paradoxos) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:29:48 +0000

The New York Times has refused to print an Op-Ed Editorial (a ridiculously long one) written Senator John McCain in rebuttal to Senator Barack Obama’s article titled “My Plan for Iraq.” In Response the McCain camp has seized the opportunity to ...

The Whitehouse, Accidental Obama Supporters?

nobody@vox.com(Alethinos Paradoxos) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:40:31 +0000

The White House today undermined the argument that the John McCain Camp has been making that what the Iraqi government was supporting and Senator Obama’s troop withdrawal plan are not the same thing by publically coming out against what the Iraqi...

A Line in the Sand Called Iran

nobody@vox.com(Kirk) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:17:34 +0000

So I guess the newest idiot remark by John McCain that has the blogosphere pointing and laughing comes from his appearance today on Good Morning America: DIANE SAWYER: Do you agree the situation in Afghanistan is precarious and urgent? JOHN MCCA...

Fearless 1st Marines' Blog: Same city, different outlook

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:43:24 +0000

Only now has the Left been grudgingly admitting the success of the Troop Surge initiated by the Bush Administration. The Left called it a failure before it was even launched. I am certain you have read negative spin from the still virulent ant...

Democratic Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki???

nobody@vox.com(Alethinos Paradoxos) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 00:55:00 +0000

Oh my! G.O.P. presidential hopeful, Senator John McCain just took a quick punch in the stomach from an unexpected source. That source is Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki who stated “Those who operate on the premise of short time periods in ...

WE COULD HAVE… Every TV channel is sending their News Anchors overseas to broadcast Barack Obama setting foot on foreign soil. This didn’t happen when President Bush last traveled overseas. When John McCain ventured to Afghanistan and Iraq, mayb...

Guest host Lawrence O'Donnell nicely aligned the subtitle of Robert Scheer's book with pornography so we would remember it (or at least a keyword; hint: Scheer and pornography). And here's how Tony Blankley got things going: re: the surge's suc...
