Good call by Media Whores Online.

They found up what I knew must have existed. A Senator who was booed at a previous memorial service. A Senator who was also a Democrat being booed at a previous memorial service. All the rights wingers approved of the booing in that case. Rush, Boortz, Drudge and all were applauding the booers on their forums. Now that it was a Republican being booed at the Wellstone memorial, they complain. The hypocrisy of the Republican party just absolutely amazes me.

Other articles on the memorial are also on the site. Mail the link to your friends.

Iraq was targeted long before 9/11.

Jay Bookman pens an interesting editorial about when and why the Bush administration targeted Iraq. He quotes a letter sent to Clinton in 1998.

Four years ago, on Jan. 26, 1998, a group of conservatives sent a strongly worded letter to President Clinton, insisting even back then that U.S. foreign policy "should aim above all at the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime from power." It also states that "American policy cannot continue to be crippled by a misguided insistence on unanimity in the U.N. Security Council."

What makes the letter so interesting is the identity of those who signed it, and the jobs they now hold. Among them were:

Paul Wolfowitz, today the deputy secretary of defense; Richard Armitage, now deputy secretary of state; Paula Dobriansky, now undersecretary of state for global affairs; Peter Rodman, today the assistant secretary of defense; Richard Perle, current chairman of the Defense Policy Board; Elliott Abrams, now on the president's National Security Council; Zalmay Khalilzad, now the president's special envoy to Afghanistan; and John Bolton, undersecretary of state for arms control and international security.

Oh, and Rumsfeld, too.

Go on and read it.

I am beginning to think that rappers have the life expectancy of a green private in Vietnam.

He was shot in the head / Now Jam Master's dead / He didn't have a gun / Nor did he run

Okay, no rapper would use "nor."

I do remember when DMC was big, and I certainly remember when they released the video with Aerosmith, who should have been shot after their last cd.

A tragic ending to an artist who did encourage peace between gangs in Los Angeles.

And once again, GO HOME EARLY!

This is the worst day for afternoon rush hour in Atlanta. WIth Halloween and the recent change in time, it is a night mare!
