Suicides now account for 10% of the non-combatant deaths in IRAQ - via talk left

The Spoons Experience has come up with a defender of Rush Limbaugh. With supporters like Jimmie 'Dyn-O-Mite' Walker of Good Times who needs detractors. Of couse Rush will not be impressed since Jimmie is a member of the 12% minority "so who cares" said Rush.

Brainless Blond Bimbo Blasts Big Limbo Mumbo Jumbo Detractors
Annthrax predictably blames Clinton and Ted Kennedy for double standard.

After years of the mainstream media assuring us that Rush was a has-been, a nobody, yesterday's news -- the Rush painkiller story was front-page news last week. The airwaves and print media were on red alert with Rush's admission that, after an unsuccessful spinal operation a few years ago, he became addicted to powerful prescription painkillers.

The nasty gash starts with a lie "mainstream media assuring us that Rush was a has-been, a nobody, yesterday's news " revealed by the fact that Limbo was on ESPN and had a 285million dollar radio contract, and the fascist slut dissembles from there into a nearly incoherent rant about Kennedy and Clinton including the lame excuse that Mumbo Jumbo required drug for his golfing pain. Recommended reading after 10 Oxycontins and a bottle of grain alcohol.

Ann Coulter, notorious for her condemnation of liberal compassion and liberal support for rehabilitation programs, was indignant and apoplectic that anyone could see anything wrong with Rush’s behavior. Strikingly, Coulter has a history of stentorian opposition to the legalization of marijuana and its use for medicinal (pain-killing) purposes.

Coulter’s final, strongest defense of Limbaugh was “Look, if my mother committed murder, I wouldn’t want her to go to jail. … I don’t want murder laws applied to my friends.” By Coulter’s logic and using her criteria no one would ever go to jail for anything! (A novel budget balancing concept.)

Conservatism Abandoned by “Conservatives” What a spectacle!

Rule of law, law-and-order, tough-on-drugs conservatives now plead for leniency – no, for pardon – for one of their own. They want to absolve Rush Limbaugh of any responsibility for behavior he himself assumes full responsibility for. The criteria is now identity, not behavior.

In defending Limbaugh – for purely partisan purposes (they even admit their partisanship) – they besmirch and belie the nobility, dignity and courage which their putative hero, Rush Limbaugh, exhibits.

These “conservatives” are no friends of Conservatism.

In a recent interview with Al Franken conducted by Edward Nawotka for Publisher's Weekly, after suggesting that some readers might want Franken to run for president, the interviewer proceeded to ask Franken hardball questions such as:

— "It's got to be a little grating to see your book on the same New York Times best-seller list as the Ann Coulter book."

— "You fact-checked Ann Coulter's book and found a lot of inconsistencies, outright lies and quotes that are taken out of context. Who is responsible for those kinds of errors, the author or the editors?"

— "How should booksellers deal with this?"

In a later interview with me, the same interviewer asked me questions like these:

— "(W)ho is ultimately responsible for the errors (in your book), you, the publisher, or both?"

— "What gives — was this an honest mistake or malfeasance as he suggests?"

— "Why all the name calling?"

Apparently it never occurred to Publisher's Weekly that Franken's allegations of errors in my book — or "outright lies," as the interviewer put it — were false. ANNTHRAX goes on with a laughable explanation. Read it here if you have the patience for it

Speedkill has moved to a very nice new address. Update and blogroll progressive bloggers. The Cosmic Iguana of manis2society has another CIA outing for us to consider: Think Valerie Plame times two.

The father of slain CIA officer Johnny "Mike" Spann said Thursday he believes an independent counsel should investigate allegations that someone in the Bush administration exposed a CIA officer's identity -- an act he called treasonous.

Spann, the first American killed in Afghanistan, died in a prison uprising. His father, also named Johnny Spann, said he is still angry because he feels his son's identity and hometown were disclosed before his son's family could be adequately protected. see the links at the Cosmic Iguana

Max over at MaxSpeak You Listen posts on traffic stats. The differences in the various sitemeters, webalizers, blogpatrol, eXTREME trackers, One Stats, Blogstreet, BlogMatrix etc. has fascinated me since starting this blog in May. Max has been very successful in term of the rank of MaxSpeak you listen. 36.MaxSpeak (485) details is the current position on the TTLB Ecosystem. The relationship between these various logging and metering systems is strange to say the least. At least this post will increase MaxSpeak's links on the Ecosystem and the more liberal progressive bloggers who ascend those rankings the better for our collective impact on the internet.

YOU GOTTA LOVE THIS FROM MARGARET CHO'S BLOG: ON ANN COULTER

I dove into Ann's writing, which was a cross between bizarre accusations about liberal politicians and psycho babble hyperbolic lies that make no sense. The conservative men love her, because she is a loyal slave to the status quo. She is Cunta Kinte. As well as betraying her gender, as a notoriously anti-feminist woman hater, she is also racist, homophobic, without compassion, inhumane, arrogant, dishonest, contradictory, not funny, has an arguing technique that compares closely to "I know you are, but what am I?", wears red leather miniskirts and is just plain fucking wrong. I cannot even quote her because everything she says is too awful for me to write. All this and she isn't even hot. If you are going to be wrong, at least be hot.

You gotta love the H. L Mencken quote on Musings of a Philosophical Scrivner today:

The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naive and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime; he is a good citizen driven to despair.
--H.L. Mencken
