APPALLING DISHONESTY FROM OLBERMAN
To get straight to the point, Wallace asked a simple question, one he has asked our present administration, and seems to me that Clinton was the "Monkey" in the way he reacted. I was surprised he didn't fling feces at Wallace and start picking fleas off himself.

Clinton overreacted to a very easy question and reminded me of his "what exactly is sex" days.
Clinton should go back to putting cigars inside women and stay off television, it makes him, his party, and his wifes presidential aspirations look very dim witted. (Which they are).
DOES CONFRONTING TERRORISM MAKE IT WORSE?
Actually the Director of National Intelligence says, and I quote:
"Although the NIE on Global Terrorism is still a classified document, I and other senior intelligence officials have spoken publicly, and in a way consistent with the NIE’s comprehensive assessment, about the challenges and successes we have had in the Global War on Terror. What we have said, time and again, is that while there is much that remains to be done in the war on terror, we have achieved some notable successes against the global jihadist threat."It seems the Times recieved leaked information, then twisted it a little bit, then added a few lies, then fed it to other media outlets... or as the Director put it, "distorted" the information.
Going to post his whole statement here, because it directly contradicts what the Times wrote. (Don't worry, it isn't long)
Statement by the Director of National Intelligence
OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE
WASHINGTON, D.C.
20511
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SEPTEMBER 24, 2006Statement by the Director of National Intelligence, John D. Negroponte, in response to news reports about the National Intelligence Estimate on Trends in Global Terrorism
"A National Intelligence Estimate is a comprehensive assessment comprised of a series of judgments which are based on the best intelligence our government develops. Characterizing only a small handful of those judgments distorts the broad strategic framework the NIE is assessing . in this case, trends in global terrorism.
"Although the NIE on Global Terrorism is still a classified document, I and other senior intelligence officials have spoken publicly, and in a way consistent with the NIE’s comprehensive assessment, about the challenges and successes we have had in the Global War on Terror. What we have said, time and again, is that while there is much that remains to be done in the war on terror, we have achieved some notable successes against the global jihadist threat.
"We have eliminated much of the leadership that presided over al Qaeda -- our top global terror concern . in 2001, and U.S.-led counterterrorism efforts continued to disrupt its operations, remove its leaders and deplete its cadre. The Estimate highlights the importance of the outcome in Iraq on the future of global jihadism, judging that should the Iraqi people prevail in establishing a stable political
and security environment, the jihadists will be perceived to have failed and fewer jihadists will leave Iraq determined to carry on the fight elsewhere."Those statements do nothing to undermine the assessment that we have an enormous and constantly mutating struggle before us in the long war on terror. They simply demonstrate that the conclusions of the Intelligence Community are designed to be comprehensive and viewing them through the narrow prism of a fraction of judgments distorts the broad framework they create."
Feel free to let me know if you want the address to the original pdf file release.

I dunno, Vaclav Havel said, given in a speech in PA 1992, something to effect that whenever scientific man measures all things according to scientific man the results are schizophrenia.
He also said "As soon as man began considering himself the source of the highest meaning in the world and the measure of everything, the world began to lose its human dimension, and man began to lose control of it."
Ya know, we mere human beings are not the big Gods we believe ourselves to be and we would be wise to recognize this scientific, intellectually-designed fact.
Funny, there was a time when man believed the world is flat. Today, it seems that man still believes the world is flat. After 400 years of scientific research, one would think that science could offer more than just theories.

IN DEFENSE OF HAROLD PINTER'S WORK
I'm only the actor but the problem with Pinter's work is that actors cannot 'act' pauses. Such intentions come off contrived, which is the only effect Pinter's work achieves. His words may come across to the reader as 'ordinary dialogue', but try to act those 'pauses' night after night, week after week, year after year. Pinter's plays create automotive mechanical engines which need alcohol just to drive the play through to the end. In my personal opinion, one of the main reasons why so many of the modern playwrights fail is because they belive the theater is all about them and forget their voices come from actors, real human beings who have lives of their own.
It is not true that playwrights wrote in stage directions. Stage directions were placed into the plays after the play's first stage presentation. Actually, wise actors and directors never follow published stage directions and are usually blacked-out before the initial reading. Of course, bad theater will follow each and every 'pause' or 'stage direction' published creating lifeless and predictible theater.
Pinter is as boring as Miller and both will never attain the richness like O'Neill or Williams.

A REAL HEAD SCRATCHER FROM THE TIMES
Isn't the reason for the decline in crime rate due to women are legally extermininating future criminals? You mean all this time crime may actually be in decline because criminals are actually kept in prison? I suppose the NY Times needs to let those criminals out in order to sell a story. One day the NY Times will face a devastating conflict, how will they sell news if humanity actually achieves useful idiot Utopia?

CAMPAIGN 2008: HILLARY WALKS THE PLANK
Oops, I meant China (sorry for the projection)

Yeah right, Hillary Clinton against a nuke-filled Islamic-fascist state called Iran(all thanks to the EU and the UN)
She'd probably give Iran MORE weapons (like her hushand did for North Korea) just to get massive politcal campaign funds.

IT'S MY BLOG SO F*** YOU AND THE MOTHERF***IN' HORSE YOU RODE IN ON
What else is new, bottom-feeding political pundits living in the gutter see nothing else but the excrement dripped on their faces. It is only natural for such words to spew forth from their mouths. Like, hey man, how cool is ms Taylor or what, speaking her 'truth to power' and all...she smells so good.
I suppose I should qualify with 'sorry' BUT I no longer wish to get along with bottom-feeders, their stench is polluting the atmosphere of free people around the world.

WELCOME TO THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
I don't think that at all, I am grateful you gave me the space to breath.

If Iraq was unarmed before the intervention why then were five newly-minted French fighter planes found buried in the desert sands of Iraq? As well as, newly-minted in 2000 bombs? Why then were there tons upon tons of ordnance hidden in schools and hospitals before the intervention occurred? Why then are small ordnance of chemical weapons turning up in the most obscured places?
Why? Because Iraq was fully armed before the intervention. Much of the ordnance, in my personal opinion, most likely came from the Russian mafia who began selling the stuff back in 1990. I was living in Moscow, Russia in 1990-1991 and heard all about the Mafia's Make Billions Selling Weapons and State Secrets (like the art of hiding such weapons)to the Middle East program. Saddam had deep pockets which he afforded by straving his people.
And please spare the idea that we armed Saddam. American financial influence(which came from the Dept of Agriculture designed to expand Iraq's ability to grow crops for food) was about the same as Denmarks' which was far less than the percentage given by Russia, then China, then France.
