Wanna Good Laugh - Experiance

Gov Palin and National Security, in her own state????
Which is why nearly everyone in this historic Inupiat community was surprised last fall when they woke up to find about 400 German tourists walking around town. How the heck did they get here?
"Yes, that was a surprise," North Slope Borough Mayor Edward Itta said Thursday, standing on the Barrow airport tarmac. But not just for the townspeople. Commanders with the U.S. Coast Guard stationed far to the south in Juneau and Kodiak were surprised as well. "They said, 'What Germans? What cruise ships?' " Itta recalled with a laugh. "And I said, 'They're here.' "

A 9/11 victim speaks

by luaptifer - 09/05/2008 - 10:09
I, and a whole bunch of kossacks, apparently, found this diarist a potent spokesperson for our thoughts last night after the abuse of 9/11 by McCain and the RNC.
OK, I've not been watching the RNC. But they have apparently pulled something about a 'tribute' to 9/11. And they are going to have McCain start his speech at 9:11 Central time UPDATE McCain started at 9:11 I am outraged. So, I will re-post something. I hope you don't mind. I'm a victim of 9/11. I was in the building when the plane hit. [...] I have watched for years as my government - our government - has whittled away my rights, stolen my freedoms, and wrecked the constitution in the name of a false security. I have watched and watched and watched, as they have used my name - my victimhood - to make me a victim once again. They do not speak for me [...]
plf515 closes hia diary by saying, This victim demands an end to the 'war on terror' that is really a war on America. The RNC is a fearmonger and McCain is the voice of those who want to continue profitting from the "fear for a New American Century:.

"So your party is the only party that can save the country from the mess that your party created?" - attributed to Jon Stewart

Nice catch, and perfect tie-in. Fear and smear are so

It is not a general problem for me. Other videos like the focus group one are available to me all the time. Also using the link I was able to watch it.
