At 7:00 on C-SPAN2 (Live):

Foreign Legislature (30 Minutes)
Question Time
British House of Commons
Tony Blair, Labour, United Kingdom

[leadpenny]

Former Senator Fred Thompson will also be on the Imus program. I'm guessing at 8:27.

[leadpenny]

They just showed 8:29 for Thompson. Knowing how Imus sticks to the schedule, that means it will probably be at 8:35.

And PETA, did you hear? Michael Jackson had cows slaughtered for those voodoo curses....not only that, he had cows killed so he could bathe in their blood. Let's hear it for a PETA protest at Neverland.

But truth to tell, any news that isn't about the war, or the assault our President is under from the left, is simply silly. These days are mighty troubling, perilousss times. But frankly, half the news I read about Iraq, I don't believe anyway.

But frankly, half the news I read about Iraq, I don't believe anyway.

That is exactly what the very effective PR campaign is all about. At least I hope that is what the Pentagon is doing.

Before Imus this morning they were replaying the Lawyer guy (name escapes me). Part of the discussion on the creepy Michael Jackson was about the possibility of a crime being committed when you pay to have a hex put on someone.

[leadpenny]

Imus: "Michael Jackson should be electrocuted. Euthanized (sp?)."

Ms Orth mentioned that the Jackson lawsuits began in 93 before the OJ media event. Makes me think of how much of the first x42 term was hidden behind obscene Hollywood scandals and crimes. I guess it makes sense, crimes hidden behind crimes.

[McGruff]

A little off topic here, but when you get a chance read this thread.

Super Cool Shuttle Photo.

It appears Rush Limbaugh's got duped by a photo prank.

Off topic again we've got a freezing rainstorm going on here in Connecticut. Multiple accidents, road closures, etc. Freezing rain is worse than snow. Glad I don't have to go to work today.

Just heard Sen. McCain will be on the Today show. Maybe worth enduring the Perky One for this.

[leadpenny]

I congratulated Henk on that thread, this morning, for being the first to see it was a fake. I didn't know Limbaugh got caught up in this??

Please keep the freezing precip up your way, will ya? How's the recovery coming?

[McGruff]

Yeah, the photo and story were from Rush's site. It appears to be gone now.

I'm doing good. Still can't sit in a chair for too long with out getting sore.

McCain is on with the Perky One. He's a hawk on North Korea and IRAQ. The Perky One is trying to attack the Bush administration on all fronts right from the DNC talking points memos.

[McGruff]

Hey sombody posted a Breaking News article:

Mansoor Ijaz tells Fox & Friends, "Capture of OBL Only Days or HOURS Away"

Anybody hear this?

[leadpenny]

Imus says that Idema was supposed to be on O'Reilly last night. He also said that O'Reilly really trashed Maureen Orth and wonders why he has people on his show if all he is going to do is scream at them.

[leadpenny]

Wow! Ijaz is pretty credible. Looks like the intell guys are striking while the iron is hot.

[McGruff]

MSNBC BREAKING NEWS ticker says "EXPLOSION RIPS THROUGH BUS IN ISREALI CITY OF HAIFA"

[OldFriend]

You can be sure that McCain will find a way to slip in some sneaky attacks on the president. Last time I listened to him he remarked that President Bush was 'selected'..........a favorite slam of the far left suggesting the USSC chose him.

[OldFriend]

This OBL stuff is an effort to get OBL to move from his current hiding place and hope that we can spot him on the run. I doubt they have any idea where he is at the moment.

[Miss Marple]

I heard it. They had talked to Mansur on the phone. Apparently that is what he said. He seems to have a lot of contacts in Pakistan and his information has been pretty good, so far.

It would be quite cool if we got that guy before we went into Iraq. And it would shut the Rats up for quite a while.

[McGruff]

Very interesting. IMUS has on a Green Beret Jack Idema who was fighting with the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan.

He believes Osama is dead. He's telling some interesting stories about his experience in Afghanistan.

It's starting out to be a very busy day here on FR.

[leadpenny]

Riveting, listening to Idema (he's back after the break). He thinks Osama is dead and the most recent recordings were fake.

[McGruff]

I'm well aware of McCain's Sore Loser behavior, but lately he's been behind the president. Maybe because he and Sen. Lieberman have been the biggest hawks on IRAQ.
