'Christian Taliban=Rush Limbaugh'
The symptoms of Parkinson's disease that all but ended Michael J. Fox's acting career are making him a powerfully vulnerable campaign pitchman for five Democrats who support stem cell research.

'In 30-second TV ads' for Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin, who is running for the Senate in Maryland, Senate candidate Claire McCaskill in Missouri and Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle, Fox shakes and rocks as he directly addresses the camera, making no effort to hide the effects of his disease.

In the McCaskill ad, which has been viewed by more than 1 million people on YouTube.com, Fox tells voters, "What you do in Missouri matters to millions of Americans. Americans like me."

Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh claimed Fox was "either off his medication or acting," though he later apologized.

Dr. John Boockvar, a neurosurgeon and assistant professor at Weill Cornell Medical Center at New York's Presbyterian Hospital, called Limbaugh's claim "ludicrous." Boockvar said those with Parkinson's have "on" and "off" spells.

"If there is one single disease that has the highest potential for benefit from stem cell research," Boockvar said Tuesday, "it's Parkinson's."

'The movie' from two time Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Barbara Kopple and Cecelia Peck that chronicles the lives of the Dixie Chicks from 2003 to the start of their 2006 tour.

All the highs, lows and mayhem that occurred just before and for the three years following “the incident” are all here.

The personal attacks, personal growth, a changing world, making music, having babies, receiving death threats, and even a fair amount of laughter.

From The Weinstein Company and Cabin Creek Films.

Shut Up & Sing will open October 27 in New York City and Los Angeles and will open in additional cities beginning November 10.

Real excited, going to see Garrison Keillor next week and hear tales from Lake Wobegon!

From his 'site':

Dear Mr. Keillor,
I just wanted to tell you that you are one of my favorite liberals. I am as far right as you are left - but your show is so special that I can deal with the occasional political cracks. I love that you take us to a simpler time. I think cable news has whipped this country into a tizzy where absolutely everything is made to be so earth-shattering, when in fact the news stations are just trying to fill 24/7 worth of time. I think most Americans can agree to disagree without hating their neighbor. I wish you continued success with your show!

IN YOUR FACE!
A controversial 'new study' contends nearly 655,000 Iraqis have died because of the war, suggesting a far higher death toll than other estimates.

Within hours, President George W. Bush dismissed the study.

Bush told reporters at a White House news conference: "I don't consider it a credible report." ...

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY PROTECTS REFINERIES INSTEAD!
WASHINGTON - The 'Bush administration' proposed easing environmental rules Friday to allow oil refineries and other industries to change how they calculate whether they need pollution control equipment.

The oil refinery industry says the eased regulation would open the way for production of more oil and other products. But environmental groups say the proposed rules are gimmicks and loopholes allowing industry to emit more pollution, evade pollution controls and save money...

'NFL Tops ABC 9/11 Show in Ratings'
Sep 11, 12:49 PM EST

The Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Editing changes made by ABC to the first part of its miniseries "The Path to 9/11" were cosmetic and didn't change the meaning of scenes that had angered several former Clinton administration officials, a spokesman for the former president said Monday.

As for Clinton, he didn't bother watching the movie that angered so many people who once worked for him.

"He made the choice that most Americans made," said Jay Carson, Clinton Foundation spokesman. "Of a fictionalized drama version of Sept. 11 or the Manning brothers playing football against one another, he chose the latter."

The movie was flattened in the ratings by the debut of NBC's Sunday night football, matching Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts against his younger brother Eli of the New York Giants. The football game had an estimated 20.7 million viewers, while "The Path to 9/11" had 13 million, according to Nielsen Media Research...

Clinton officials rip ABC’s ‘The Path to 9/11’

Top officials of the Clinton administration have launched a preemptive strike against an ABC-TV "docudrama," slated to air Sunday and Monday, that they say includes made-up scenes depicting them as undermining attempts to kill Osama bin Laden.

Former secretary of state Madeleine K. Albright called one scene involving her "false and defamatory." Former national security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger said the film "flagrantly misrepresents my personal actions." And former White House aide Bruce R. Lindsey, who now heads the William J. Clinton Foundation, said: "It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known..."

Tell ABC to Tell the Truth About 9/11


On September 10 and 11, ABC Television is planning to run an inaccurate film depicting the events leading up to the 9/11 attacks. The film was written by an avowed conservative and it largely places the blame for failing to prevent the attacks on the Clinton administration while whitewashing the failures of the Bush administration.

Our review of the film shows it to be full of such inaccuracies. Its distorted version of history is inconsistent with the 9/11 Commission Report, upon which it claims to be based. The events leading up to September 11, 2001 are too important and too tragic to play politics with the facts.

Recommendations for How To Defeat the Terrorists from the Bush Administration:

Shop.
Seal off your house somehow with duct tape.
Spy and report on your neighbors.

Congratulations to Ned Lamont!
Tuesday, Ned Lamont defeated Senator Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut Democratic Primary. Joe says he'll run for Senate in the general election anyway, as an Independent.

Bill Clinton supported Joe Lieberman in the primary. Now, I expect him to support Ned Lamont, the Democrat, because I remember what Bill Clinton 'said' in Iowa in 2003:

"Go ahead, fall in love, be for somebody. But when the primary's over, let's fall in line and bring the White House back to our party."

THE PREZNUT STRIKES AGAIN!

“See the irony is that what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this s--- and it’s over,” 'Bush told Blair' as he chewed on a buttered roll...

Regarding the destruction of Lebanon by Israel, Judy from 'HEP' expressed my feelings so well, that I'm using them here ...

"...so long as it is OUR tax dollars that are funding the carnage and destruction, then we have every obligation to speak out when they are being used in this way. And I will. If we were not so readily funding these actions ... to our own national detriment ... and supplying weapons to the Israelis hand over fist, then I would say fine, let Israel do what it wants. But that is NOT the case. We provide the cover so that they can be as belligerent as they want, which is plenty."

... a few of my thoughts ... 9-11 would not have happened if we hadn't been so blatantly supporting the Israelis. We do not allow the Palestinian and Arab positions to get serious consideration. And in this country we do not allow any kind of debate about the issue.

WEIGH IN! What are your thoughts on this horrific attack!?!

THE END OF COWBOY DIPLOMACY
Why the 'Bush Doctrine' no longer works for Bush administration...

Time reports "All the good feeling at the White House at President Bush's early birthday party on July 4 couldn't hide the fact that the president finds himself in a world of hurt.

A grinding and unpopular war in Iraq, a growing insurgency in Afghanistan, an impasse over Iran's nuclear ambitions, brewing war between Israel and the Palestinians -- the litany of global crises would test the fortitude of any president, let alone a second-termer with an approval rating mired in Warren Harding territory.

And there's no relief in sight..."

Don't sacrifice security with any old condom! Get Bush Condoms and enjoy the same security that Iraq enjoys!

"10 years after the 'TWA 800 tragedy', doubts abound and conspiracy claims persist despite finding the fuel-tank blast destroyed the 747.

People still question the official conclusion, reached in 2000, that TWA 800 was destroyed by an explosion in the Boeing 747’s center fuel tank, likely caused by a spark from a wiring short-circuit"...

(Hubby has contended from day one TWA 800 was shot down by a stinger missile provided to the Majahadeen by the Reagan administration to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. It was then covered up by our government because the truth would be too damaging even for a Democratic administration.)

WEIGH IN! What is your theory on what happened to TWA 800!?!
