YO: Read this....

An interesting side bar may come out of this squabble. XM and Sirius Satellie Radio systems are in the process of getting permission from the guhv'munt---as The Gipper called it---to merge. Each is dying on the vine in competition with one 'nuther.

It's not easy to assign which, the Dems or the Repugs, is lying. Only our personal values and fears can "inform" us at this point.

But I'm laying my money on Governor Sibelius telling the truth. But, I could be wrong since I don't know the lady.

Sounds like a Rovian thrust to me. The neocons are going to have to come up with a tape of the conversation to make it stick, it seems to me.

And, on another subject: What's all this crap about another speech from a carrier deck; this time, given by Dick (GFY) Cheney, without benefit of cod piece.

OY!

"The modern conservative...is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy. That is the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."
--John Kenneth Galbraith

If dogs run free
Then what must be,
Must be...
And that is all
--Bob Dylan

The neo-cons have gotten welfare for themselves down to a fine art.

"The meek shall inherit the earth, but not the mineral rights."
--J. Paul Getty

"The great thing about Art isn't what it give us, but what we become through it."
--Oscar Wilde

"We have Art in order not to die of life."
--Albert Camus

"I cling like a miser to the freedom I lose when surrounded by an abundance of things."
--Albert Camus

"Experience is the name so many people give to their mistakes."
--Oscar Wilde

I sure hope they do, my future as an overpayed psychic is at stake here. My other two stocks are doing famously though...

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini
