yes I have buyer's remorse. Now are you just gonna say a few Hail Marys and get on with propagandizing for the far right or are you gonna do a David Brock and fight for your own integrity??? Sentient beings would like to know the deal.…

Just a couple of observations in no particular order. 1) I'll be honest, I read this whole thread and expected to read a lot of anti-American, anti-soldier discussion. And I didn't find it. Instead I found a fairly thoughtful back and forth coping…

That's effed up that they told you you couldn't participate in hillel because of your views on Arab Israeli conflict. I can definitely feel this MSU by the way. In Cairo it's conventional wisdom that Jews conspired to bring down the towers on 9-11. …

For vocal jazz, check out Nancy Wilson meets Cannonball Adderly. That's just a gem. Also Lee Morgan's 71 sessions are very good. Anything joe Henderson did in the 1960s is nice. When buying Miles definitely find out which of his groups you like best…

And how can we forget Samuel Jonathan Johnson "My Music."

Oliver - you diss Shuggie Otis you diss YOURSELF. yeah, drop the pharcyde. Replace Pharcyde with "Wake Up" Sunshine mix, Brand Nubian. Perfect summer song.

mega dittoes on the shugie, the leon ware, the main ingredient, the roy ayers, the pharcyde. I would add Hi Five's "Kissing Game," because it reminds me of the first summer after freshman year college when that joint was on power 99 all summer, al…

"Reynolds argued that 9/11 truth is a matter of extreme urgency, since the perpetrators seem to be preparing another 9/11-style terror hoax as a pretext for attacking Iran with nuclear weapons. He said that exposing the 9/11 fraud is the best way to…

Vitamin, what did you think about he Neibhur/Keenan article in the New York Times Mag last week. It seems like that is a more thoughtful and effective approach than these clowns are taking. I appreciate your candor on how poorly things are going …

A) I mainly lurk on rr threads here, but I am a strutter because I love rackords. So I don't just hang out on the board to egg on liberals about politics. B) From the perspective of someone who believes it essential for America to win the war on te…

I think I get it. You don't approve of the president's war or his policies. On some of these points I am also skeptical. But on the question of wmd, I have always thought the critics who have said the administration's belief they existed amounted…
-
But more to the point, using Occam's razor, what is more plausible. That Rumsfeld believed there were wmd and then said so, or that he recklessly kept repeating something he knew was false just to prove how untouchable he was to win even more suppor…
-
not only did rumsfeld say that iraq had wmds, but he also said "we know where they are." how is that not a lie? that's my point. If he was lying the whole time, why would he say he knew where they were right before he was about to be exposed? …

Clearly, despite the fact that a hundred weapons inspectors were on the ground at the time, with free reign to look where ever they wanted, The Administration decided to go with the worse possible intelligence instead of good intelligence. They, a…

If I am to follow the logic of the Bush lied/Who died crowd, then Rummy knew that there were no wmd, but said he knew where they were because he was trying to build support for the war. There was no need to build any support for the war when these "…
-
If it was a lie to say he knew the locations of the weapons of mass destruction (which is to say he knew Saddam did not have the weapons, but said this anyway), then explain the utility of the deception. Rummy did not make these remarks during Congr…

And one more thing. For those on this board who thought Colbert would be dragged off by the secret service--get over yourselves. There are plenty of countries where that sort of thing happens everyday, and this president has at least articulated a…
-
I say this as a fan of Colbert, but that performance was flat. He flubbed jokes, most of the material was fairly predictable and when the president has a 32 percent approval rating, cracking jokes about his incompetance or stupidity is not particula…

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm alright. Just getting back from a vacation that was interrupted by this madness. I almost went to Dahab, but ended up instead going to Alexandria. I actually learned through the strut that the interview made it onto N…

It's amusing that your undergarments are still twisted over that episode. But thanks for reminding me of your lemming status. I suppose you think this is discourse.

When was the crude, racially paranoid irrendentism of X-Clan, ever taken seriously as the learned offerings of "teachers?" The failed ideologies of fringe nationalists, repackaged as consciousness. To the east my brother to the east? Get thee to a l…

His lyricist, Islam Khalil, says he will not visit America because he thinks Bush will arrest him. They are working on a new song about how they hope Bush gets a stroke like Ariel Sharon. I'm not engaging your non-sequitor, though. Take that shit …

This might be the greatest song ever recorded! Awesome.

Great thread. Imho, the worst store I've ever been to is the house of rare records in the village. 1) The store has no rare records. 2) Wings Across America: $60. I think the definition of a bad store is a combination of shitty attitude of clerks/…

From these excerpts it looks like the book might have some good points mixed in with some pretty batty stuff. First off, what Dan Rather said is absolutely correct. While covering the state department, I can say that access, not to mention legal ram…

What I've read about Bush reminds me directly of Reagan in terms of both their policy and their personal manners. Both had grand ideas, Reagan - end the Cold War, Bush get rid of Saddam, but really had no idea about Russia and Iraq other than their…

Gorbachav never wanted to dissolve the Soviet Union. Yeltsin ended up doing that. Reagan from the gittyup said his goal was to end the evil empire.
