Crux

I submit to you that your bit about "The Reagans" was not the weakest but the strongest part of your post as it was the only part that related in any way to the topic of abusing public airwaves access and because the remainder of your post was off-topic and factually erroneous: Sandy Berger is not a convicted felon, nor was he ever actually accused of stealing anything. Thus, in regard to the Michael Moore film that you cite as an example of erroneous information, I submit to you that there are technically more factual inaccuracies in your post than there are in Fahrenheit 9/11. In your favor, I concur that Moore's film is deceptive and I will continue to assert that the film is irrelevant to the topic at hand - which is the matter of the shameless and defamatory propagandization of the 9/11 tragedy. Now, regarding your news that Senate democrats are talking about pulling Disney's FCC license, that is definitely predictable: I have argued it is a violation of federal law for public sector resources to be allocated for the purpose of dissemination of propaganda for political purposes. The public airwaves thusly abused by Disney/ABC present not only grounds for revocation of the broadcasting license but for criminal prosecution under the provisions of the respective statutes. In a letter of petition that I emailed yesterday to Disney and my Senators, I made the same complaint in regard to the legality of using the airwaves for the purpose planned. In that light, you will understand I am pleased to hear that at least some of our elected representatives are now standing up for the applicable law that is intended to protect the public's right to be told the truth. Cheers.

Did that preacher guy just say that God is gonna mock me in the ass?

Do you really mean to compare a gossip story about Reagan's family with a $40 million propagandization of the 9/11 catastrophe? Please reconsider what we are talking about here.

You have no problem with "complete fabrications" being presented as an historical accounting of how 3,000 Americans were murdered? I submit to you the complaints actually made bring to our attention not an issue of free speech or petty hypocrisy, but an unprecedented plan to disseminate propaganda over the public airwaves with ruthless disrespect for those who died on 9-11. The fascists in the Whitehouse who dare call themselves Republican are in a perilous position for the mistakes they have made over the past several years. Should they lose control of Congress through the upcoming midterm elections, they will then be subject to Congressional oversight. It is no secret that such an outcome will render the administration vulnerable to impeachment and criminal prosecution for high crimes already cited by our federal courts and a litany of former allies abroad. Question: It's been announced the entire five-hour "docudrama" will be presented without commercial interruptions. Who is paying for this?

And now for a sample message from the real liberal media: "Dem Candidate Has Guts To Run Ad DCCC Pulled"

"Trophy Kissing Picture Hard To Swallow"

Some say the argument was remarkable, not for its form and content, but for the fact it was presented on MSNBC. Imagine: A mainstream news anchor insinuating that the president's war-chief is a lying fascist. Please correct me if I misunderstand, but this seems to be an unprecedented step. When I watched the presentation and just looked at the guy making it, I saw a guy who looked pretty sketched for a while there. But he went ahead and made the move anyway. I don't know, but I think it may have been his personal best. My hat's off to the guy.

And so good night, and good luck.

FWIW, in regard to development of muscle mass from bicycling, from "Myth Busters" page on bikeshop.com: Myth 5: Cycling makes your legs big "Bicycling will tone your muscles and make your legs stronger, so they will look more cut and more powerful, yet, for most people, it's much more likely the gams will get smaller than bigger. This is especially true if you follow the important rule of maintaining a comfortable pedal cadence upwards of 90 revolutions per minute. This requires riding in relatively easy gears, which develop small, supple muscles along with excellent cardiovascular power, too." "We think [the myth] has to do with the sprinters who capture the limelight at the end of important races. These champions train for power and explosiveness and often have larger-than-normal pipes, which photographers love to shoot. In fact, you may have seen Olympic track aces, such as Marty Nothstein, who has redwoods for legs. But, believe us, it took Marty years of serious weight work to get pistons like that."

Ted Bundy was stupid...

All joking aside: George W Bush is a psychopath.

Why did I think this thread was going to be about Republicans?

Else ride the bike. Not the bus.

Yes, discs work fine. They present unanticipated problems, depending on the design, but they brake real good. However, claims of superiority were brought into dispute once put to the test. After a two-year trial use of disc brakes on a road-bike that I purchased and used for sport and commuting year-round in the Seattle area, I found the best upgrade was achieved with a side-grinder. BTW, nice commuter rig in the pic. Different setup really... interesting how that apparently makes a big difference regarding what kind of brakes work out best. The old brakes: Avid Mechanical The new brakes: Shimano R-600 Long Reach w red KoolStop pads The actuators: Shimano 105 brifters The side grinder: Milwaukee Tools w 4" disc The new paint: Rustoleum, grey.

Chill out. Earth impact of Asteroid 2006 DM63 as forecasted for 2093 has a probability of occurrence of only 1.2e-09. On the other hand, the Whitehouse alleges there is a significant chance that liquid explosives will be shoved up your ass during your next airline flight, partly because people in Connecticut voted against Joe Lieberman in the democratic primary last Tuesday. Six of one. Half a dozen of the other.

How long have the hub-disc brakes been working for you on the road? If found them to be a mixed bag on a road bike that came stock with them a few years ago. It turned out there are maintenance and performance issues with the hub discs too. By the way, do you need a special license or weapons permit to ride that thing?

Good morning Viet Nam!

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, A History of Nazi Germany, by William Shirer: "This third lesson [on the value of spiritual and physical terror for propagandizing the masses], though it was surely based on faulty observation and compounded by his own immense prejudices, intrigued the young Hitler. Within ten years he would put it to good use for his own ends. I understood the infamous spiritual terror which this movement exerts, particularly on the bourgeoisie, which is neither morally nor mentally equal to such attacks; at a given sign it unleashes a veritable barrage of lies and slanders against whatever adversary seems most dangerous, until the nerves of the attacked person break down...I achieved an equal understanding of the importance of physical terror toward the individual and the masses...For in the ranks of their supporters the victory achieved seems a triumph of the justice to their own cause, the defeated adversary in most cases despairs of the success of any further resistance. No more precise analysis of Nazi tactics, as Hitler was eventually to develop them, was ever written."
