RON HOWARD VIDEO:

Opie, Andie, Howie and Fonzie.

I hope you watch this video of people we grew up with, enjoy it, and PASS THIS VIDEO LINK TO EVERYONE ON YOUR MAILING LIST!

Drudge runs bad headline all day to support his bud, McCain.

The Kansas City Star truth watches the wild charge, and then video of Obama in KC.

CNN today reporting mass automated phone calls still claiming overtly Obama has ties with terrorists... Missouri one of the targeted states. More on the scare tactic call which I received yesterday, despite being on the national do not call list...

How do you spell "DESPERATION"? Joe the plumber... I can't believe I was disappointed that GWB stole the election from McCain. I was actually gonna send that guy money until he got torpedoed by, who it now turns out are the same people now working for his campaign.

Abortion is a ZERO issue for the presidency. It's not going to change in the supreme court and the president has ZERO SAY in the issue.

Religious people need to get over it and vote for their own personal interest... for rich people or for everyone else! Republican rich don't give a rats ass about Christian ideas... they only need Christians because there aren't enough rich people to WIN an ELECTION!

That's IT. Jeez. Jesus, who doesn't like materialism, was as close to a socialist as you can get... and REPUBLICANS who are into money suck up to Christians? What an absurdity!

I had a msg to post. And this one is the most appropriate one. Whats wrong with the McCain campaign.

This is not how US democracy should be and anyone who loves this hate, put down shit isn't thinking of the Republic... he's more thinking how he felt in HIGH SCHOOL with MY TEAM against THEIR TEAM.

This is not what American politics should be about.

Pls to read this and analyze WHICHEVER side you're on!

Some of the Right Republican KoolAid has McCain supporters so drunk, they'll losing control of it self... the even booed McCain for trying to make them more civil.

The ugliest Campaign yet and McCain worries he's losing control of it. I think a lot of it is the Whisper Campaign via email, the Sarahcuda who needs to be reeled in...and talk radio which is trying to incite the right to riot.

One more... a PS. You guys who are using this Drudge Retort as your personal chat room... you're doing the nation a disservice.

This room could be SOMETHING... but you need to quit turning it into an ordinary chat room by being so ordinary.

Find someplace else for that. Write your BEST STUFF in here. Develop your messages so that they stand alone and can be linked to other bloggers.

When you make this room petty and personal to feed only your own egos, you ruin one of the REALLY GOOD methods we Americans have to protest SERIOUSLY.

Please write SERIOUSLY in here... don't make this room just another YAHOO cheapshot room!

Write in here as if you want all national bloggers and network commentators to see your wisdom. Please? This room could be one of the big, influential ones... but we regulars need to write our best stuff to make that happen. Drudge doesn't take comments. This room could be IT... but not if people make this only for personal pleasure with their chat-buds! Write ESSAYS, not conversations!

Can you take that under advisement, please?

If you were following the MISSOURI TRUTH SQUAD story, here's a link to update it to Monday night.

Don't waste our time setting up strawmen so you can knock it down.

Remember. There are REPUBLICAN CAPITALISTS and there's everybody else.

The everybody else is a very large tent. Yup, we're also stuck with our weird brother Ned who DOES think the world owes him a living. But that's not most of us. Most of us just don't want to be re-enslaved by the corporate state.

You just need to be more open and actually read their lips over there on the republican side. This has always been about class warfare, this liberal vs conservative thing. The Landowners and everybody else.

Just vote your best interest. Just realize the only reason the capitalists pretend to be about Christian values and against abortion, etc, etc ad nauseum, is that there aren't enough capitalists to WIN. So they've tried to hold their noses, say stuff to entice gullible christians... and then win. They don't care about abortion. They only care about making MONEY and they can't do that without some voting block. Christians are stupid, so they'll work just fine. They're obedient, after all. And they vote like they're told.

Just rememvber, if you read your new testament, you'll see Jesus was not only a liberal, but a socialist. Christians just ignore that part.

WONKETTE wonders if BRISTOL married that nice boy Levi.

Update on the "Obama people sick Missouri law enforcement on political liars". Still seems to be a non-story of factual confusion that nobody's picked up on but the Governor's pretending he's indignant. Slow Saturday here in the Show Me state. That makes it a story, I guess.

Does Matt Drudge know how to spell "retraction"? He apparently just puts stuff on the air like a lot of bloggers do. Anyway, this one's going to fly about the same distance as the Wright Brothers first flight.

Truthwatching a truth watch story out of Missouri that hits Drudge Saturday morning, linking to a St Louis TV station piece that's working fast and loose with the facts. And the McCain bloggers are having a field day on this isolated report that aired a couple hours before Friday night's presidential debate.

TELL EM... DON'T RAID THE TREASURY!!!!

Tell your congressmen not only NO, but HELL NO. Don't give GWB another blank check like we did in Iraq!

Use this link to write your senators and congressmen on browser mail RIGHT NOW. DO NOT let them use the middle class to bail out the rich's greed. It's the REPUBLICAN WAY to let them eat the risk!

This bailout makes no sense. Taxpayer dollars to bail out business? No resemblance at all.

I didn't bother to read all these comments. I'd just suggest that a few years ago, Colorado Governor Love said some very shocking things.

The bottom line was that health care dollars are FINITE. We need to decide where to put them. Do we put them to keep the BRIGHTEST alive, or keep everyone alive, even if they are retarded?

What a collision of moralities! The moralists would love it if there was unlimited resources. But there isn't. So you have to CHOOSE! Pay for the BEST of our humans or everyone, even if they will not contribute to the species! Code for the retarded!

Christians just hate it when situational ethics is so stark and state governments have to make actual decisions. I'm sure state legislators hate these situations because however they vote, voters will be watching.

Just know this. Judges and hospitals and doctors and parents make these kinds of decisions every day. You don't know about them because the MEDIA doesn't find out about them. Federal law called HIPPA!

On Carly's swan song.... and Sarah Palin's accent and speech delivery is grating on my Nerves, thank you SNL!

The McCain comparison with Herbert Hoover I read here awhile ago is one of the best lines in a very bad week. We'll be reading it much more... and I've helped. Thanks for the comment:

Got MLK?

Jill Greenberg's art's beautiful. I linked to her site. Another of the many reasons why I read RETORT.

Palin's tanning bed.... she needs to put it on EEEEEE - baaaayyyyyyyyy (applause)

Chicken Little, urgency in his voice, kills the cash cow on Wall Street:

WHY in pictures:

Exactly... McCain's not what we need and this whole thing about Palin is scaring shit out of people. "Maybe war with the Russians? Holy Jeezus!

I caught another NYTimes columnist this morning on Fareek's new CNN show this morning... and he had Tom Friedman, an NYT columnist guest. Talking a lot of sense.

I took the liberty of devoting a blog page to him this morning and hope you have a look at it. It occurred to me that "conservative change" is an oxymoron, even if it comes from from the McCain-Joan of Ark ticket.
