I’m on the road and at a library right now, so I can’t hear the clip, but it has been played on Hartmann, Malloy and Bill Press. Former CIA guy and Beck agree that America needs to be hit again.

So why is it son tin foiled hat-ish to think Neo Cons may have, in the very least, know something was coming and just let it happen?

Here’s the blurb from the site…

Beck and Former CIA Employee Agree: U.S. Needs to be Hit by al-Qaeda
Infowars: July 1, 2009

Glenn Beck nods and agrees with his guest Michael Scheuer that the only way to “save” the US (from illegal immigrants, of course) is for Osama bin Laden to succeed in detonating a weapon on American soil. Scheuer and Beck hit all the conservative buttons, from Mexicans to the mainstream media and the worst of all, Europeans. From the June 30th, 2009 Glenn Beck on Fox News.

Cartoon Sanford and Satan

“The standard Sanford has set for other politicians over the years has been fairly high. A member of the House of Representatives during the heyday of the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, he was often a harsh critic of the president for his marital misconduct.

“This is ‘very damaging stuff,’ Sanford declared at one point, when details of Clinton’s conduct became known. ‘I think it would be much better for the country and for him personally (to resign)… I come from the business side,’ he said. ‘If you had a chairman or president in the business world facing these allegations, he’d be gone.’ ” […]

” ‘The issue of lying is probably the biggest harm, if you will, to the system of Democratic government, representatives government, because it undermines trust,’ … [Sanford] told CNN. ‘And if you undermine trust in our system, you undermine everything.’ ”
– Sam Stein, “Sanford Was Harsh Critic of Clinton Affair…” Huffington Post, June 24, 2009.

Today’s Quotes: Palin Beyond the Pale

“More than once in my travels in Alaska, people brought up, without prompting, the question of [Sarah] Palin’s extravagant self-regard. Several told me, independently of one another, that they had consulted the definition of ‘narcissistic personality disorder’ in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—’a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy’—and thought it fit her perfectly. When Trig was born, Palin wrote an e-mail letter to friends and relatives, describing the belated news of her pregnancy and detailing Trig’s condition; she wrote the e-mail not in her own name but in God’s, and signed it ‘Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.’ ”
– Todd S. Purdum, “It Came From Wasilla,” Vanity Fair, August 2009 issue.

“You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.”
– Anne Lamott

“To flip Anne Lamott’s quote a little; you can be pretty sure you’ve created God in your own image when you just know God loves you no matter what horrors you’ve committed.”

Herd About It?

by Ana Grarian

I’ve been reading an article in Harper’s magazine (June 2009) about feeding the almost 1 billion starving people of the world (Let Them Eat Cash by Frederick Kaufman). I was struck by one paragraph “..almost none of the food riots had emerged from a lack of food. There was plenty of food. The riots had been generated by a lack of money to buy food, and therein lay what may have distinguished today’s hunger from the hunger of years past.”

The world produces enough food to feed the world twice over. Read on -- There is more »
