They didn't stick around to ask Steve questions about ribbon mics? ) were all preaching to the forum about the painstakingly moral certitude of the Israeli bombing campaign. It would have been a nice coda to the thread to see one Israeli apologist write the words, "The IDF went too far" one goddamn time, but you couldn't, Mr. Human Rights, could you? That's off message, I guess.

That's also a Casto-wannabe-dictator. That's also state propaganda. That's also 1984.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Frias' revolutionary 'New World Vision'

After agreeing to supply discounted oil to the richest city in Europe -- London -- to help its low income residents use the city's buses at a reduced cost after earlier providing discounted heating oil for the poor in several northeastern US cities including its richest one -- New York, Hugo Chavez is at it again.

This time he offered to aid the US oil and cash-rich state of Alaska by providing an even greater benefit ... free or subsidized heating oil.

In the richest, most powerful country in the world, federal, state and local governments continue to provide fewer essential services to their citizens most in need like helping them stay warm in winter when they can't afford to do it on their own. The result is many of them don't ... and some die as a result.

This is the real question, not my silly one man boycott.

What are you not understanding? The consequences of US foreign policy, Chavez's criticism of it, or my criticism of Galanter's blindered reflex reaction to Chavez? Do you need footnotes for the list of crimes I referenced? As a citizen, do you not feel a collateral self-loathing or at least a troubled conscience stemming from the crimes committed by those who have hijacked this country?

I didn't write any of that. I left my logged in window open and my kid was playing around.

Sheesh, Bob. Hard to believe that folks around here think that you're an immature, shrill, hysterical, reactionary.
