No, but Alan Dershowitz just made an idiot of himself today. In a UPI story today, he says Sirhan’s attack on Kennedy was the opening salvo of Islamic terrorism.
Sirhan was a Christian. So was that Christian terrorism? Are we going to attack Texas now?
Sirhan didn’t kill Kennedy at all, but that’s a much longer story.
How often do you have a problem with getting comments to post? In the four years that I have been blogging, I have had problems getting comments or diaries to post (or comments disappearing) on some controversial subjects. Sometimes this has happened when a website has been having problems, but other times, it’s just been me. A few weeks ago, one of my yahoo groups had access go down while several others I take part in remained fine.
I do not know whether it is one of the by-products of living in a Total Information Awareness society; but it has happened more frequently when I’ve been posting about controversial topics or countries.
I’ve noticed mails with certain subject lines will NOT be delivered to my friends on AOL. Things like 9/11, etc. If I change the subject to something innocuous, they get the message.
Barack Obama has announced that he will change the Democratic Party’s (DNC’s) fundraising policy as of today, to prohibit accepting contributions from federal lobbyists and political action committees (PACs). What’s more, he’s indicated that all of his fundraising events will be open to at least one pool reporter. Both moves are in stark contrast to the status quo in both parties.
AND… he’s keeping Howard Dean as Chair of the DNC. GREAT MOVE!!!!
I just plurked an hour ago how cool it was he was keeping Dean on. Even though I’m no fan of Dean, that’s a brilliant slap in the face to the Clintonistas. I’m happy.
In an interview over the phone to Dawn News Khan said he had done nothing wrong and had been made a scapegoat. he didn’t name Musharraf but the implication was clear.
“Certain things you don’t know in hindsight, you believe people and you find they were not telling the truth,” he adds.
It was after the meeting with Musharraf in 2004 that Khan had confessed to peddling nuclear technology to Libya, North Korea and Iran.
(AFP) – “When Iran and Libya wanted to do their program, they asked our advice. We said: ‘OK, these are the suppliers, who provide all.'”
Khan said the companies who provided the technology to the two rogue regimes were European, the nuclear secrets obtained by North Korea came from Russia.
“All the North Korean scientists and engineers studied in Russia,” Khan said, describing Pyongyang’s program as having “excellent technology” with “very sophisticated designs.”
That’s disturbing. The German media needs to be all over this, and it sounds more like those guys are still conveniently below the radar. Plus, they’ve got their little neocon buddies over here trying to rev things up — I’ve never heard of Herf before.
Some books will be whimsical, such as Mathew Honan’s “Barack Obama Is Your New Bicycle: 366 Ways He Really Cares,” coming in August from Penguin Group (USA). Others warn of end times, like “Obama – The Postmodern Coup: Making of a Manchurian Candidate,” by Webster Griffin Tarpley, a radio commentator and author of “9-11 Synthetic Terror.”
“Barack Obama is a deeply troubled personality, the megalomaniac front man for a postmodern coup by the intelligence agencies, using fake polls, mobs of swarming adolescents, superrich contributors and orchestrated media hysteria to short-circuit normal politics and seize power,” according to the Progressive Press, which identifies itself as “America’s Dedicated Truth Publisher.”
I met Tarpley on a 9/11 tour. I’d suggest the deeply troubled personality and megalomania front man is Tarpley himself.

My replies to you don’t seem to be going through. Hope this one does.
I can’t be he actually said that. That’s so incredibly dumb on so many levels.
That one came through!
Yes – what we he thinking???

Not that often, but lately, I think most of my posts have gone through only to check my comments to see that they haven’t.
Like this one for example, this is my 3rd attempt to get it to post.
I always did think Dershowitz had a nasty little neocon streak in him.
Well, I am genetically prone to understatement.
Obama is already changing the DNC’s fundraising to map to his philosophy:

AND… he’s keeping Howard Dean as Chair of the DNC. GREAT MOVE!!!!
I can’t wait for President Obama!!!!!
Lots of links and data at the above.
I just plurked an hour ago how cool it was he was keeping Dean on. Even though I’m no fan of Dean, that’s a brilliant slap in the face to the Clintonistas. I’m happy.
Oh – I missed that. At work (on lunchbreak now) so it’s been hard to keep up.
Where did “plurked” come from? What a cool word!
Plurk is a new nanoblog thingy, cooler than twitter, i tell ya, but a huge time suck.
And I’m a plurkaholic. I no longer know what a blog is. BWHAHAHAHAHA
Ah. Now I see. Plurk.com. Interesting interface!

"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."

A lot of AMERICAN neo-cons over there.
Geeze. I was just reading about a conference in Dublin. Israel and America wouldn’t agree on banning landmines.
