Public Service Announcement from MoveOn..
You know that email petition that keeps circulating about how Congress is slashing funding for NPR and PBS? Well, now it's actually true. (Really. Check the footnotes if you don't believe me.)
Sign the petition telling Congress to save NPR and PBS:
http://www.moveon.org/publicbroadcasting/
A House panel has voted to eliminate all funding for NPR and PBS, starting with "Sesame Street," "Reading Rainbow," and other commercial-free children's shows. If approved, this would be the most severe cut in the history of public broadcasting, threatening to pull the plug on Big Bird, Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch.
The cuts would slash 25% of the federal funding this year—$100 million—and end funding altogether within two years. The loss could kill beloved children's shows like "Clifford the Big Red Dog," "Arthur," and "Postcards from Buster." Rural stations and those serving low-income communities might not survive. Other stations would have to increase corporate sponsorships.
If we can reach 250,000 signatures by the end of the week, we'll put Congress on notice.

Thanks!

What I said...

No. thats all I can say.
- NO! -
In these divided times, If it irritates the ridiculous religious right, it is good for America in general.
Come on now, be serious. They have Very Good Shows about Jesus on PBS that even a secularist like myself enjoy quite well. The righties wouldnt want to lose that now would they?
If you dont save Public Broadcasting, I Will become Muslim just to p--- you off!
NPR and PBS are the last bastion of intellectual programming on the face of the American Media. Discovery Networks doesnt really count because they dont show actual real world things like The Nature of Things with David Suzuki, and Car Talk with Click and Clack, the Tappet Bros, and of course, always and forever, NOVA! Im sorry if half of the red staters cant read at higher than a 10th grade level and have less than a 100 IQ, you shouldnt make the college educated people suffer just because you dont understand what you see. I would not petition to have Fox N00ze de-licensed.. and remember, the vast majority of money in this country... lies in THE BLUE STATES! We in michigan pay incredible taxes as do they in New York, Mass uh CHEW sits, etc.... yeah thats right, bush was born in a blue state, descended of blue staters, and educated.. in a BLUE STATE!! His Father was born in Milton, Mass!
I Digress
Hey Waitasec - I have a great idea.. Lets get the h-ll out of IRAQ, give 1/4 of the annual budget to rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan(20billion/year), spend a measly billion on a serious effort to find osama bin laden, and put the rest of the 80billion (59 billion) yewarly expenditures into things like libraries and schools, and maybe a few billion to NPR and a few billion to PBS, and then some of that even to Fox News, just to be Fair and Balanced hehe..
At any rate..
Congress must save NPR, PBS and local public stations. We trust them for in-depth news and educational children's programming. It's money well spent.

deceit in the rush to invade Iraq
Dear President Dubya,
My emphatic apologies for the follerin' big ol' words, If you need help readin' 'em, you can ask the Man in the Yellow Hat (Karl Rove) to read it to you.
No, NOT President Bush, Mr Bush! And you're a fair sight lucky to have THAT title (MR) at all, being the AWOL Deserter Pansy that you are!
Why, there was once a time in our great nation's history when DESERTERS were SHOT! oh how lucky you weren't born in the 19th century or we wouldnt be having this discussion.
Clinton and Cheney at least had the decency not to waste the military's time on your paperwork and enlistment registration and to get deferrals rather than to run away with your tail between their legs like you.
Anyways, I Digress.
You People WHINED and CRIED about Clinton lying about a blow job and now YOU'RE lying about BLOWING at your JOB. Clinton's BJ only hurt him and his family, YOU are damaging the ENTIRE WESTERN WORLD and making the US the butt of jokes the world over. Now, Fess Up and your punishment in the HAGUE might be more lenient!
President Bush must directly address the evidence in the Downing St. Memo of intelligence manipulation and public deceit in the rush to invade Iraq. We support Rep. Conyers’ letter of inquiry and demand answers to all its questions.

I love Canadians. No, this is serious. I really do!
It's like the original goals and aspirations that America once had have migrated north. If we get another trailer republican in office in '08, I might move there.
This girl Butterfly Karma, not only is she fantastically beautiful IMHO, but her thoughts are my thoughts! I could spend hours just eating her blog with a spoon!
BK, I salute you [bows deeply]

Two-bit defrauders of poor old women's retirements and corrupters of the tender minds of youth.
Another petition comment....
http://www.moveonpac.org/robertson
First he and Falwell informed the world that the attacks on America were all the fault of gays, atheists, and abortionists. Then he tried to back away from the statements, saying that his remarks were "inappropriate." But obviously not inappropriate enough, because Pat has wheeled them out again. On the "700 Club" recently, Robertson, referring to terrorists, said that, "I do believe that San Francisco is going to be a target of these people."
And now, he's outright encouraging attacks on the judiciary. If you let these monsters get away with this slander right now, and are unable to successfully push their agendas (likely this will be the case), you will bring their ire and be next on their list. It is a safer choice to tell them to get lost than try to push their plans through. Remember, nearly half and arguably more than half of this great nation despises these people and ANYONE WHO WILL SUPPORT THEM (hint hint).
The court system is independent of the legislature for precisely the reason that they are under attack - for america to remain a land of law and order, the judges must not be twisted by petty politicians and religious freaks. It's called checks and balances, folks. Do they not teach american government at bob jones university or yale or wherever? Or did daddy buy them out of that requirement like H W bought W into the Tx Air Nat'l Guard..
This is every bit as bad as when jerry "I fornicated in an outhouse with my mother" falwell (name not Capitalized out of detestation.) supported or made those vile and inflammatory utterances of ignorance after 9/11. robertson and all his trailer crony supporters need to be promptly and roundly smote down for even having these thoughts.
How Dare They! It's right wing nazis like those people that have pretty much made up my mind that God if there is one, doesnt give two queefs on a hot breeze about the goings on of Man. At this point, i likely will never attend a christian church again.
It's too late for that for me, but You, honorable senator and representative, Do have the opportunity to right their misspeech by distancing yourselves from pat et. al. as falwell was treated after his soiling his shirt front with the dung that flowed from his fat head after WTC! The "few bearded terrorists" of 9/11 were a few hundred miles north of what should have been hit.. the deep trailer southern seats of the idiot right, pats robertson and buchanan, and Mr OutHouse. 911 took the lives of Nearly 2,750 innocent people. the ridiculous religious right needs to quit using the defenseless WTC dead to further their fascist agendas, and take a cue from ashcroft.. GET OUT OF DODGE and LEAVE AMERICA ALONE! They all make me sick.
Have some brass ones and Reject these people, or you ARE them, and will join them on my s**tlist permanently. Remember, your kind BARELY has a majority by the cooked book, and likely missed it by two or three points if Diebold's "handing Ohio to Dubya" is discredited..
To the bible thumper trash that think they can manhandle America into a koresh-grade church state:
Pat, Jerry, and the rest of you two-bit defrauders of poor old women's retirements and corrupters of the tender minds of youth, I commend you in utmost obscurity to your hereafter of Nothingness. May you slip into your demise unnoticed, cold, shivering, and alone, and may your immortal souls, if you have them, simply Cease to Exist.
Thank you, and Legislators, I hope you make the correct decision to discredit these bozos and come back to planet Earth. If not, when you go with Robertson and Falwell to Oblivion, Dont Forget Your Hat (sm)!

Dear Senator Frist and Congressman DeLay,
Pat Robertson’s comments on national television crossed the line. It is simply unacceptable in our democracy to claim that judges you disagree with pose a worse threat to our country than the civil war, the Nazis or "a few bearded terrorists who fly into buildings." We demand that you publicly condemn these comments, and all similar examples of hate speech targeting American judges. It is up to you to stop this campaign of intimidation.
