Evening Folks. Hey, Alan, I just love your sunny optimism. :)

Only the US press can literally beat a story to death. First, Terri Schiavo and now the Pope.

Ask the Caller if he heard Nancy RAYgun Comparing her ronny to the Pope yesterday! A number of the MSM Talking Heads started it than all of a Sudden it Stopped! In the Catholic Religious Ideology it's called 'Blasphemy', a word you Never hear anymore, along with others of Religious Teachings! Makes people feel like they 'Sinned' if brought up!!

Take whatever GWB says and the opposite is the truth.

On the Mainstream Media:

Last Week: All Shiavo all the time!

This Week: All (deceased) Pope all the time!

Would love to see it all Delay Scandals all the time!

Just another liberal dreamer...

What's Happening In Afganistan!!!

Three Truckers Killed in Afghanistan

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - Suspected Taliban gunmen ambushed a convoy of civilian trucks carrying vehicles to the U.S. military in southern Afghanistan, killing three drivers, an official said Saturday.

Also Saturday, dozens of Taliban fighters attacked the office of a district chief in southern Afghanistan before dawn, killing three Afghan soldiers, an official said. He said they believe the soldiers also killed about nine rebels.

The attacks were part of a wave of violence that followed a lull during the harsh Afghan winter.

``This shows that some in the Taliban or other anti-government insurgents will continue to try to destabilize Afghanistan through violent acts,'' said Lt. Cindy Moore, a U.S. spokeswoman. ``There is still a threat out there.''

The gunmen attacked the trucks Friday after they crossed the Pakistani border at Spin Boldak, 55 miles south of Kandahar city, Spin Boldak District Chief Fazeluddin Agha told The Associated Press.

Three drivers - two Pakistanis and one Afghan - were killed in a hail of gunfire that severely damaged the trucks and two of the military vehicles, Agha said. He did not identify the types of vehicles being transported.

The fourth driver escaped and told authorities that four gunmen had appeared in the road in front of the convoy and opened fire, Agha said.

Agha blamed Taliban militants, but provided no evidence. Purported Taliban officials have in the past claimed responsibility for attacks on trucks supplying U.S. bases.

In southern Helmand province, dozens of Taliban attacked a government office in the district of Daisho, 175 miles southwest of Kandahar, triggering a shootout that left three soldiers dead and four wounded, Afghan official Haji Mohammed Rahim said.

``We think our men killed about nine Taliban, but Taliban took their bodies,'' Rahim said, adding the soldiers had not seen the body of any attackers.

U.S. commanders insist the insurgency is unraveling in the face of American operations and Afghan offers of reconciliation, while warning that a hard core of Taliban militants will fight on more than three years after the hardline militia was ousted for harboring al-Qaida.

Moore had no information on Friday's incident, but said the ``number and severity of attacks'' had increased and that the 17,000 U.S. forces in the country would ``aggressively pursue those seeking to destabilize the government.''

Caller Chris the Libertarian I beleive seemed to think a soldier was justified in killing the wounded instead of taking them prisoner. If those soldiers who kill the wounded are such good diagnosticians about the status of the wounded, what are they doing just being grunts in the service carrying guns? They should be doctors and surgeons at least!

Soldiers have no right to judge something so out of their field of expertise. Just because someone looks like they're at death's door doesn't mean it's so! (I know someone who was a medic in Vietnam and he once removed a live soldier deemed dead and put in a body bag and loaded on a truck; he was lucky enough to hear the man crying for help! ONE NEVER KNOWS FOR SURE. So mere soldiers shouldn't start playing Doctor, let alone God!)

W's spreading of democracy is more like a rash spreading.

To get a feel for what things are like in Iraq from the perspective of a 25 year old Iraqui woman go to

http://riverbendblog.blogspot.com/

Here is an excerpt from her post today...(she is talking about how the Iraqi TV is now primarily American movies, tv-shows, and news--a propaghanda machine to make the Iraqi's like the US)

The thing that strikes me most is the fact that the news is soÂ… clean. ItÂ’s like hospital food. ItÂ’s all organized and disinfected. Everything is partitioned and you can feel how it has been doled out carefully with extreme attention to the portions- 2 minutes on womenÂ’s rights in Afghanistan, 1 minute on training troops in Iraq and 20 minutes on Terri Schiavo! All the reportages are upbeat and somewhat cheerful, and the anchor person manages to look properly concerned and completely uncaring all at once.

Furthermore, I donÂ’t understand the worlds fascination with reality shows. Survivor, The Bachelor, Murder in Small Town X, Faking It, The ContenderÂ… itÂ’s endless. Is life so boring that people need to watch the conjured up lives of others?

I have a suggestion of my own for a reality show. Take 15 Bush supporters and throw them in a house in the suburbs of, say, Falloojeh for at least 14 days. We could watch them cope with the water problems, the lack of electricity, the check points, the raids, the Iraqi National Guard, the bombings, and- oh yeah- the ‘insurgents’. We could watch their house bombed to the ground and their few belongings crushed under the weight of cement and brick or simply burned or riddled with bullets. We could see them try to rebuild their life with their bare hands (and the equivalent of $150)…

IÂ’d not only watch *that* reality show, IÂ’d tape every episode.

Pretty interesting...She is the Ann Frank of Baghdad

I probably would actually watch that show. It would be so good to see some neo-cons squirm.

Hi folks:
Ever wonder what kind of mail I get? I get some lovely mail for sure, but then there’s mail like this:

<<<<< What a surprise!! Another stupid liberal bitch (Laura) blasting the Pope because he doesn’t love abortion and condoms. Tell the fagots to stop ramming other guys up the ass and they won’t get AIDS. Problem solved.>>>>

and they say we only talk to the converted....!

Thanks for sharing this, as it is revealing of those who claim liberal ideals are sinful; do they hate liberals because we don't share their neurosis of sin?

When fundamentalists demonize and resist natural human states I think it leads to perversion of thoughts as this poor tortured soul's letter illustrates....

I bet conservatives are much more likely to send emails like that than liberals are to send an angry email like that to Rush Limbaugh. Liberals might have horrible thoughts like that from time to time but we are grown up enough to keep them to ourselves.

I admit I've had some pretty evil thoughts re: Bush, Delay et. al.
