People at work are all abuzz about the Galloway testimony...
Not a single person at work had seen any reference to this story (and obviously hadn't seen the video). I showed it to them and forwarded the link also. They LOVED the video and forwarded it to all of their like-thinking friends. It really makes people happy to see someone saying what we all want to say to these lying killers. Make a friend happy today - send them the gift that just keeps giving -> http://www.edwardsdavid.com/BushVideos/msnbc_uk_galloway_blisters_us_on_iraq_050517-01.rm

2. Well, it really gave the non-political Liberals at work a shot in the arm
People are not feeling very confident at this time of siege - you wouldn't believe how many happy faces you will see by showing this to even marginal political people - try it!

14. lol! I WUV Survivor! It's my one guilty pleasure reality show.
I watched it the first summer & got hooked. You get to make judgments about people's behavior and everything. I even (try to) sing the theme song to my dogs, who then promptly crawl under the sofa, having apparently much better taste than their mom. I will be in Survivor withdrawal until the fall.

11. Especially the Dem politicians (with some notable exceptions).


An Open Letter to Democrats
Listen to Galloway and Learn Something

By STAN GOFF

Dear Democratic Elected Officials of the United States (with damn few exceptions),

I am writing this open letter to call your attention to the remarks made day before yesterday, May 17, 2005, to the United States Senate, by British MP George Galloway of the independent Respect Party. I do this because he serves as an example of why your party should be abandoned by the U.S. working class, by U.S. women, by oppressed nationalities in the United States, and by anyone who professes to be a progressive or a leftist.

George Galloway did that for which you have proven incapable; he spoke as an opposition. Since there seems to be a great dark space in the middle of your heads where the notion of opposition should be ­ a void filled by parliamentary molasses and the pusillanimous inabilty to tell simple truths ­ I suggest you all review the recordings of Galloway's confrontation with Republican Senator Norm "Twit" Coleman to see exactly how effortless it is to stand up to these cheap political bullies (watch the video). While you are at it, you can watch your colleague Carl Levin demonstrate exactly what I mean about most of you and your party, as he alternately hurls petulant cream-puff insults at Galloway and kisses Coleman's stunned, clueless ass to give that toothy dipshit some comfort in the wake of Galloway's verbal drubbing.

Galloway didn't have to walk up to the docket and slap the cowboy shit out of Coleman ­ though I admit I still struggle with my own secret urges to do just that with most of the air-brushed, combed-over, Stepford meat-puppets who now people the United States Congress. No, all Galloway had to do was tell the unvarnished truth, and it had exactly the same effect. If Democrats had half the spine that Galloway does if you would stop chasing your creepy little careers through the caviar and chicken-salad circuits of duck-and-cover American political double-speak, then not only would people like me not be calling for all to abandon the Democratic Party and take their fight to the streets like good Bolivians not only that, but you'd have won the last election.

12. Hubby's troops at Ft Hood were all a-twitter and trading CDs of the live
action today.

Hubby called me, asking could I please burn a couple copies for some troops who'd missed out entirely.

Cracks me up the way so many Americans think "most the troops support bush".

21. The INTERNET = Repuke's Achilles Heel.
That's why they will do everything they can to shut down the information train we have here. This is all we have left and they know it (except Air America Radio, of course). I'm so glad we can spread this ourselves without depending on the propaganda, corporate/government networks. Thanks for the link! :hi:
