what's your favorite pistol calibre?

=========================================================================================================

9mm -

CZ 75b:

What a shooter. Nice trigger. Never a jam! Over 6,000 rounds and still going strong. The CZ 75b gets better the more you shoot it. After the first 1,000 rounds, it performs like a tuned competition pistol. Even die hard revolver guys shoot good with this gun. It points like a M1911 and handles like a High Power. If you spend some time shooting the 75b, you will fall in love with it too. I don't think you can get a better pistol for under $900. Ditto for the CZ 85b and SP-01. CZ is the choice police gun in europe. The new stainless finish 75b is on my wish list.

Bankruptcy isn't a product of AAR's politicical stances. It's a product of beginning something new in a hostile market where right-wing lunatics have had a lock on everything for years. Refresh my memory, when did Fox start turning a profit?

SF CHRON: When the Class War Goes Local

What happens when the class war comes to your little town? That's what I explore in my new column for the San Francisco Chronicle today. Over the last week, we here in the rural state of Montana were the target of an intense onslaught by conservative class warriors, both in the state legislature and at a glitzy international economic summit in Butte - the most unglitzy, hard-scrabble, salt-of-the-earth places in America. And as the column says, you can bet what happened here could happen anywhere. Beware - Wall Street and K Street's class war could be coming to a town near you.

OK Sam your replacement sucks!
This is the first time I have listened. I have been listening to Stephanie Miller who I don't really like either, but my 10 year old loves her. I have been writing eloquent emails regarding my disappointment with programing changes, since the demise of the Mikes, no lively words left. This all blows. Missing you. Hope you turn up again everyday soon.

AAR is trying to beat the expectations down so low, and make people so angry, that when "Lionel" comes on he'll seem not bad by comparison.

I think that's why they have this huge break between Sam being fired and Lionel beginning... so people won't get even more outraged by the starkness of the comparison of the two.

Capitol Hill Faces People Party Revolt On Trade & Health Care

Just after the 2006 elections, I wrote a series of widely-circulated posts on how the real divide that will be (and has been) defining politics is not the one between Republicans and Democrats, but between the Money Party and the People Party. On many issues, the Money Party is synonymous with the GOP, but it also includes a faction of corporate-backed Democrats. That's why though the Democrats do have a majority in Congress, the Money Party also is in the majority as well. The question, as I said after the election, would be whether the People Party minority in Congress (who still make up a majority of Democrats in Congress and, of course, a majority of people in the country) had the guts to use its power against the Money Party to really force changes. This week, we have two specific reasons to be hopeful that yes, the People Party is asserting itself and yes, the Washington Establishment has a serious revolt on its hands.

Jeff Gannon’s ‘Bible Reading Marathon.’ Dana Milbank writes, “Let us pray that, on next year’s National Day of Prayer, there is better attendance at the ‘Bible Reading Marathon’ on the West Front of the Capitol.”

Organizers put out 600 folding chairs on the lawn — the spot where presidents are inaugurated — and set up a huge stage with powerful amplifiers. But at 9:30 a.m. yesterday, not one of the 600 seats was occupied. By 11 a.m., as a woman read a passage from Revelations, attendance had grown — to four people. Finally, at 1 p.m., 37 of the 600 seats were occupied, though many of those people were tourists eating lunch.

Where was everybody?

“This isn’t that kind of event,” explained Jeff Gannon, spokesman for the host, the International Bible Reading Association. Gannon, actually a pseudonym for James Guckert, had earned fame in 2005 representing a conservative Web site at White House briefings until it was revealed that he posted nude pictures of himself on the Web to offer his services as a $200-an-hour gay escort.

Let us pray for the power to understand how Gannon made his way from HotMilitaryStud.com to the International Bible Reading Association.

Thompson apologizes for gay remark. Former governor Tommy Thompson (R-WI) apologized this morning for saying last night that private employers should be allowed to fire employees simply because they are gay. Thompson claimed he “misinterpreted” the question — “If a private employer finds homosexuality immoral, should he be allowed to fire a gay worker?” Watch it:

Maybe Thompson’s still under the weather. Last month, he blamed his statement that Jews have a “tradition” of “earning money” on “fatigue and a persistent cold.”

No Net Gain
The front runners didn't stumble. The also-rans didn't rise up. And nobody got off a good punch. If debates are about clarifying choices, the first clash of 2008 GOP presidential hopefuls didn't offer much help.

By Holly Bailey
Newsweek
Updated: 11:12 p.m. CT May 3, 2007
May 3, 2007 - At first, it looked like the GOP debate might be exciting. Ushered onto a stage set up in the massive Air Force One wing at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, the 10 Republicans vying for their party’s presidential nomination next year waved to the audience and then dashed to their podiums. There, blocked from bringing their own pen and pad into the debate, they scribbled frantically into paper provided by the library, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney lingering the longest over his notes.

Unfortunately, that may have been the most energetic moment of the evening, save for co-moderator John Harris’s antic stage walks. For the most part, the contenders in the first GOP showdown of the nascent 2008 presidential campaign played it safe and stuck to their well-rehearsed scripts.

They jockeyed for Reagan’s mantle—without engaging in much meaningful discussion of what parts of that legacy they liked, and what parts they didn’t. They slammed President Bush for his conduct of the Iraq War—but were careful not to otherwise distance themselves too much from the leader of their party. And they barely criticized each other—honoring Reagan’s fabled 11th commandment urging Republicans not to speak ill of one another. But in a debate featuring 10 candidates—seven of whom are barely known to the American public—the lack of combat didn’t do much to help clarify voters’ choices.

On Iraq, all of the candidates, with the exception of libertarian Texas Congressman Ron Paul, stuck with the president on the war to some degree. Sen. John McCain, the candidate perhaps most closely identified with the Bush-backed “surge," insisted he believed the war was now on the “right track,” though he was careful to note—four times to be exact—that the war had been mismanaged.

Why should AR spend one second discussing who "won" the Republican "debate"?

And shouldn't someone who hosts a political talk show be at least a little bit familiar with the Rudy's history?

Hell, even "what's his name", the right wing nut job that was a regular on Sammy's show, called in to tell him what a good job he's doing.

Man, this is either a ploy to make the next host look good, or AR has taken a right hand turn for the worst ...

The guy they had on the previous weeks wasn't too bad, I could have lived with him as a replacement for Sammy (not as educated on the issues as Sammy, but he had potential) but this fool is useless.

Now he's going on about how Time exclude Bush as a top influencer ... what crap, we should be celebrating that TIME has sent a message to the country, not complaining about it.

Today's Must Read
By Paul Kiel - May 4, 2007, 9:36 AM
Adam Cohen, writing in a The New York Times op-ed,breaks news:

There is yet another United States attorney whose abrupt departure from office is raising questions: Debra Wong Yang of Los Angeles. Ms. Yang was not fired, as eight other prosecutors were, but she resigned under circumstances that raise serious questions, starting with whether she was pushed out to disrupt her investigation of one of the most powerful Republicans in Congress....
Ms. Yang was investigating Jerry Lewis, who was chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee. Ms. Lam and most of the other purged prosecutors were fired on Dec. 7. Ms. Yang, in a fortuitously timed exit, resigned in mid-October.

Ms. Yang says she left for personal reasons, but there is growing evidence that the White House was intent on removing her. Kyle Sampson, the Justice Department staff member in charge of the firings, told investigators last month in still-secret testimony that Harriet Miers, the White House counsel at the time, had asked him more than once about Ms. Yang. He testified, according to Congressional sources, that as late as mid-September, Ms. Miers wanted to know whether Ms. Yang could be made to resign. Mr. Sampson reportedly recalled that Ms. Miers was focused on just two United States attorneys: Ms. Yang and Bud Cummins, the Arkansas prosecutor who was later fired to make room for Tim Griffin, a Republican political operative and Karl Rove protégé.


Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who has been very interested in Yang's case, had previously revealed publicly that Miers had discussed firing Yang. But the details provided here make it all the more suspicious. Not only did Miers discuss firing Yang, but she was apparently fixated on Yang -- and only one month before Yang stepped down.

Now, Yang left to become a partner at the white shoe firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher -- the firm that, it just so happens, is the one defending Lewis. It should be said that Yang has recused herself from the case. But the timing of her departure, or the offer (a $1.5 million signing bonus), can only bring suspicion. Gibson, Dunn, Cohen notes, has "strong Republican ties."

John McCain Vs. Our Troops

Blogger Pam Spaulding makes the catch. John McCain said something stunning last month that by rights should set off an international incident, and leave what few American allies as still exist up in arms. In a letter to the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, he said that letting gays servce in the military "presents an intolerable risk."

Among the nations fighting alonside American who have no ban on gays in the military are the United Kingdon, Australia, and Canada.

Reporters and ordinary citizens should ask John McCain: Will you be demanding British, Australian and Canadian units withdraw from Iraq? If not, why are you letting Americans fight side by side with soldiers that pose an "intolerable risk" to their survival?

"I believe polarization of personnel and breakdown of unit effectiveness is too high a price to pay for well-intentioned but misguided efforts to elevate the interests of of a minority of homosexual servicemembers above those of our units," says McCain.

Well, another nation that welcomes gays into its ranks is Israel. Have their "well-intentioned but misguided efforts" weakened that nation in its crucial strategic role in the front lines of the war on terror? If so, will the State Department of a President McCain initiate diplomacy for Israel to reverse its policies—lest we be hit again?

Democrats not backing down on Iraq

[...]

Numerous other ideas are being floated in the Senate, most of which involve some combination of goals the Iraqi government must reach. The key impasse, however, is whether to require the withdrawal of U.S. troops if the benchmarks are not met.

Democratic Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., and Robert Byrd (news, bio, voting record) of West Virginia proposed a measure to repeal the 2002 resolution authorizing force in Iraq. Under the bill, Bush would be required in October to seek Congress' blessing to continue operations in Iraq.

"If the president will not bring himself to accept reality, it is time for Congress to bring reality to him," said Clinton, a presidential contender for 2008.

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino immediately shot down Clinton's proposal as "troubling" in light of ongoing negotiations.

"Here we go again," Perino said in a statement. "The Senate is trying another way to put a surrender date on the calendar. Welcome to politics '08-style."

Hillary's a Surrender Monkey!

Did former White House Counsel force US Attorney to resign? RAW STORY
Published: Friday May 4, 2007

Closed-door testimony reveals former White House Counsel Harriet Miers discussed firing a US Attorney who was investigating Rep. Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., last fall and may have forced her resignation, reports a New York Times editorial observer column.

US Attorney Debra Yang resigned in October to take a $1.5 million job offer from Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher LLP, a well-connected Republican firm that is defending Lewis in the investigation. Yang insisted the timing was coincidental and she accepted the job after months of looking for a more lucrative private sector post because she is a single mother, according to The Hill.

Yang resigned just before the Justice Department fired eight US Attorneys, several of whom were leading investigations of high-profile Republicans. Congress is investigating whether the attorneys were fired for strictly political reasons, and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has been plagued by calls for his resignation over the scandal.

Miers was originally selected by President Bush to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, but was forced to pull back her nomination after conservatives revolted and charges of political cronyism were made against the president, due to his longtime friendship with the onetime Texas State Bar president.

Excerpts from the New York Times:

#
Ms. Yang says she left for personal reasons, but there is growing evidence that the White House was intent on removing her. Kyle Sampson, the Justice Department staff member in charge of the firings, told investigators last month in still-secret testimony that Harriet Miers, the White House counsel at the time, had asked him more than once about Ms. Yang.

Waxman cautions Rice for 'hindering' Iraq intelligence investigation Michael Roston
Published: Friday May 4, 2007

The Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee cautioned Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice against hindering investigation into the intelligence used to build the case for the invasion of Iraq. The warning came because the committee was blocked from taking a deposition from a State Department intelligence analyst who had suggested in 2003 that fears of Iraq's nuclear program were based on a hoax.

"I am writing to urge you to instruct your staff, particularly officials in your legislative affairs office, not to impede the Committee's investigation into why President Bush and other senior Administration officials, including yourself, cited forged evidence in building a case for war against Iraq," wrote Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) in a letter released Friday.

The Committee had written to Simon Dodge, a nuclear weapons analyst at the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, who had warned the Intelligence Community in Jan. 2003 that allegations of Iraq seeking uranium from Niger were "probably a hoax" and "clearly a forgery." Dodge agreed to fully cooperate with the investigation.

But the committee had been blocked from deposing Dodge by the State Department's Bureau of Legislative Affairs after they asserted it "would be 'inappropriate' because the Committee voted to issue a subpoena to compel your attendance at a hearing on your knowledge of the fabricated evidence," the California Democrat wrote.

Waxman urged Rice to make Dodge available by May 9, writing, "I trust you will cooperate in this matter and instruct your staff to cease further interference with the Committee's inquiry."

The Oversight Committee Chairman also sought a variety of documents from Rice related to the investigation which he said that she had "failed to provide."

The full letter can read at the Committee's website.

people who subscribe to doomsday theories are typically too afraid to invest their money, you can always find a reason not to put your money in a bank or buy a stock. that article is wrong on many levels. one is the subprime mortgage mkt. its true that hedgefunds have a large portfolio of subprime loans its not true that they'll lose money on those loans. the reason the subprime mtg mkt is in the news is because many of he loans are adjustable rate. so as rates have increased so have the mtg pmts. what most mtg cos are doing is locking in a fixed rate mtg pmt at the same monthly pmt when the original loan was created. this solves several problems. plus its cheaper (it costs a bank an avg of $39k to foreclose) than default also keep in mind that someone owns every house/apt where people live. as long as people live in the house theres no reason to panick sell it. people will always need a roof over their head.

He doesnt mention that theres $4 trillion of new money in mutual funds in the past 4 yrs. and trillions of new money waiting to go in. everytmie the stock mkt drops you are going to see an influx of capital oving to buy it.

I walk in and often get the stare...

The stare from 40 years ago...

'are you kids all getting directions from the reds?'

'do they make you grow your hair long?' (yes I have long hair , but I'm going more for the Ben Franklin look these days)

'America, love it or leave it.'

It's a stare that looks right through you. Like they are looking at me, but also right through me into a pyramid of (their own) fear and loathing that they wouldn't have to face if I wasn't there smiling at them. 'All I need is love' I'm thinking.

I was their worst fear then and I still am.

I look into the depths of my soul and fear nothing. That, I feel, is where the stare comes from.

Do the fearful really want to be fearless? No.

"Trite. Tired. Sad. Pathetic little men."

You said it! All white. All men. All in dark blue suits with white shirts, most with red ties. A number proclaiming the greatest day of their presidency would be the day Roe v. Wade was gutted. A few others heralding their disbelief in evolution. Some discussing our "license" to go to war with Iran. All prostrating themselves before the almighty gods of the religious right. All slamming shut the door of more stem cell research even though they were in that building, in that hallowed "House of Reagan," at the invitation of the widow Nancy who sat in the front row. All deeming the war "mismanaged," but worthwhile. All willingly and wantonly bending over backwards -- which is odd given their stated positions on us gays -- to speak to such a narrow, extreme band of the population. And not a one of them rising above the arrogance and ignorance that is today's Republican party.

There was a time when I figured it was the George W. Bush cabal that destroyed the Republican party, but now I see that it is rotten to its core.

Yech.

Please see this link that show an Iranian girl whom like other girls in islamic lands had be harmed by islamic police or had be harmed by islamic people because her topcoat were not like some model who Islamic Government had determined by Quran!

Many Iranian People do not like Islam but government Kill and harm them.

قال زهرا بنت رسول الله از جهنم:

خداوند فرمود بواسته دروغی که برخدا بسته ام و خود را بانوی برگزیده خدا درجهان نام نهادم و چادر بسر کردن را بر زنان جهان اجباری کردم و چون به خاطر گناه زهرا بنت رسول و پدرش و خاندانش بر زنان ایران ستم می شود و دختران را کتک می زنند.

خداوند امر کرده زهرای بنت رسول درجهنم کسش باز شده و اهل جهنم و بهشت بر کس او می رینند و زهدان حضرت زهرا پر از گوه شده .
و مکرو و مکرالله


حزب مبارزه با ستم اسلامگرایان (فاکرین حزب الله ) اعلام کرد چون ریشه همه بدبختی های ملت ایران و جهان اسلام است به ازای هر ظلم به هر ایرانی میلیون ها کیر خر و کیر خوک و ...کامنتی به کس و کون آل محمد رسول الله روانه خواهد کرد.

کیر و سنده خوک تو کس حضرت زهرا بنت رسول الله

به حزب ما بپیوندید و کامنت دونی ها را پر از آنچه شایسته آل محمد است کنید.

کسانی که به زبان های خارجه مسلط هستند کامنت دونی های وبلاگ های خارجی را مستفیض فرمایند.

هرکس روزانه در 10 وبلاگ انگلیسی زبان یا عرب زبان آنچه شایسته محمد رسول الله است را بنویسد تا خارجی ها متوجه علاقه ایرانیان به اسلام شوند. اگر فقط1000000 نفر هم از حزب ما استقبال کنند بزودی اکثر سایت های دارای رنکینگ اینترنت پر از ابراز نفرت ایرانیان نسبت به اسلام خواهد شد.

برای خلیج فارس بمب گوگلی درست کردید که چرا دریای فارس را عرب کرده اند فرهنگ عرب حاصل تفکر محمد رسول الله پست تر از شیطان و حیوان را به فرهنگ درخشان 2500 ساله ایرانی برگزیده اید؟ نگرانید که چرا خلیج فارس را عرب نام گذاشته اند ولی ناراحت نیستید که از بیخ عربتان کرده اند؟

ستاد حزب مبارزه با ستم اسلامگرایان.
و نحن الفاکرین الغالبون
We will have all hizbolla women fucked by dogs.
Now God say, "you must fucked Mohammad and Quran by send message to all people of world.
This message sent from Iran"
