Saying Goodbye to Paul

From Monday Report.

It's just about perfect. Just a needs a highlight reel of the stupid things he's said over the last few years.

Jeff Gannon

The New York Times has an interview with Jeff Gannon. Yeah, him.

He not so cleverly manages to side step all the important questions directed at him.

Coward.

More Lies

Taken from the Washington Post:

"In an effort to increase pressure on North Korea, the Bush administration told its Asian allies in briefings earlier this year that Pyongyang had exported nuclear material to Libya. That was a significant new charge, the first allegation that North Korea was helping to create a new nuclear weapons state.

But that is not what U.S. intelligence reported, according to two officials with detailed knowledge of the transaction. North Korea, according to the intelligence, had supplied uranium hexafluoride -- which can be enriched to weapons-grade uranium -- to Pakistan. It was Pakistan, a key U.S. ally with its own nuclear arsenal, that sold the material to Libya. The U.S. government had no evidence, the officials said, that North Korea knew of the second transaction."

Uh oh.

Your Conservative Party's Great Idea

Interesting note from the Conservative policy convention this weekend. Straight from the Globe and Mail:

"Delegates voted in favour of two-tier health care, for instance."

What exactly does that involve, two-tier health care, and who in their right mind would vote for such a thing?

This stood out for me, moreso than the typical Alliance/Conversative notions on how to fix the country. This is a great example of a party that consists of old, white rich men, who don't actually give a shit about anyone other than themselves. The Conservative party is clearly out of touch. Good luck winning an election when two-tier health care is part of your election platform.

Look at this

http://mediamatters.org/

Likely the best (and only?) website that tracks misleading (well, lying) politicians, websites, and news stories. It keeps everything together in one handy place, sort of as an evidence gathering website useful for quick reference.

Today, reports of bribes and corruption by Tom Delay, and the lastest moronic evidence-free rant by Bill O'Reilly.

If you haven't seen Media Matters before, check it out.

It's depressing though.
