How Karl Rove Set up Dan Rather to Kill a Real Story with a Fake One

I Am Still Working for Freedom!
by The Decider 4/5/2012 - 12:06 pm
Just to let you guys know what I am up to, I thought I would blog a blog about my new initiative, "The Bush Center Freedom Collection." This week, I hosted China founder Bob Fu who said, “President Bush is a compassionate and unwavering advocate for freedom, especially in China."
These days I tend to fly under the radar because I do what I do for the good of all humans and not for publicity (I told turd blossom to take a hike), but I wanted my buddies here at Dagblog and my friends at RedState to know what the little woman and I were doing with this new freedom emphasis. I plan to bring other freedom marchers to town as well.
After the ceremony, I invited Bob to break some boards with his karate (he said he wasn't into that so I was disappointed) and we all went to Asia kitchen for lunch (they have a great buffet). As you can see from the picture, Bob eats pretty good.
Fox News reports on the Gulf of America!
by The Decider 2/9/2012 - 4:57 pm
That's right! A Missisiippit democrat (we may have to let him in to our party!) has proposed to rename the Gulf of Mexico to be the Gulf of America! I think this is a grand idea and I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. There is no need to stop there. We can call the Atlantic and Pacific the East American Ocean and the West American Ocean. It will remind Frenchies and Japanese who they are dealing with across that water. [Read more]

Dallas Morning News: Bush Presidential Center "Awe-Inspiring."
by The Decider 10/3/2011 - 3:28 pm
OK, so maybe it was me who said it was awe-inspiring but the newspaper reporters wrote that down and recorded it so now that's what the newspaper says. And it's true. This will be the biggest and best libery in the U.S.! [Read more]
Corporations Are People!
by The Decider 8/11/2011 - 5:45 pm
I have always had my doubts about Mitt Romney, but clearly, Mitt gets it when it comes to corporations. In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, The Supreme Court recognized the right of our fellow, corporate Americans to enjoy free speech. By extension, our corporate brothers also enjoy the other first amendment protections such as freedom of religion (e.g., only Christians can work here), freedom of assembly, freedom to press things and assemble things, etc. [Read more]
Rick Perry WILL Be Our Rainmaker!
by The Decider 8/8/2011 - 4:36 pm
I bring GOOD NEWS! And I thought you libbies from the democrat party might like to hear it before the official announcement next Saturday. My good buddy and Vice Governor, Rick Perry, will be our next President! You can stick a fork in Obama cause he is done. Just today, he was announcing that he agrees with Leon Pinata that we need to cut Medicare instead of Defense. He thinks that this will make him popular with conservatives but he's got another think coming. Conservatives wouldn't even like him if he wore a Bush mask (and I understand that he's thought about it). [Read more]
Time for a retrospective look back at what happened previously
by The Decider 7/27/2011 - 5:24 pm
Actually, things are going so crazy right now that I just thought you guys would like a pic of me in my old unfiirm when I was ready to fight in Vietnam as a fighter pilot. Laura says it's real handsome and reminds her of that actor guy named Farell.
I do miss the days when I was in office and could reach out too all Americans and we all felt proud of our country, etc. Seems like it's going to hell these days, but keep a stiff upper lip and remember that it's always darkest before the dawn and that new broom sweeps clean, especially when it's stiched in time.
God bless!

Conversations with suicide bombers
By Elizabeth Weingarten, ForeignPolicy.com, May 23, 2012
It was 2009 in Peshawar, Pakistan, and Mossarat Qadeem was sitting on the floor of a house with about a dozen young Pakistani men -- some of whom had nearly become suicide bombers. Qadeem's goal: to undo the destructive brainwashing of the al-Qaeda and Taliban teachers who trained them in extremism, in part by asking the students to narrate their life stories.
"We were handling one of the boys, and he just came, put his head here in my lap, and he started crying and weeping," Qadeem recalls. "I was taken aback. It is very unnatural in my country that a man that tall can just sit at your feet and put his head here. [The other men] were all crying with him, and I was looking at him, and thinking, ‘my God.'"
All in a day's work for Qadeem. She's the national coordinator of Aman-o-Nisa, a coalition of Pakistani women that convened in October 2011 to combat violent extremism in Pakistan at the grassroots level. [....]

For Native American Women, Scourge of Rape, Rare Justice
The issue of sexual assaults on American Indian women has become one of the major sources of discord in the current debate between the White House and the House of Representatives over the latest reauthorization of the landmark Violence Against Women Act of 1994.
.......
“We should never have a woman come into the office saying, ‘I need to learn more about Plan B for when my daughter gets raped,’ ” said Charon Asetoyer, a women’s health advocate on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, referring to the morning-after pill. “That’s what’s so frightening — that it’s more expected than unexpected. It has become a norm for young women.”
The difficulties facing American Indian women who have been raped are myriad, and include a shortage of sexual assault kits at Indian Health Service hospitals, where there is also a lack of access to birth control and sexually transmitted disease testing. There are also too few nurses trained to perform rape examinations, which are generally necessary to bring cases to trial.

Doctor Who Helped Find Bin Laden Given Jail Term (for...
By Ismail Kahn, New York Times, May 23/24, 2012
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A Pakistani doctor who helped the Central Intelligence Agency pin down Osama bin Laden's location under cover of a vaccination drive was convicted on Wednesday of treason and sentenced to 33 years in prison, a senior official in Pakistan said.
A tribal court here in northwestern Pakistan found the doctor, Shakil Afridi, guilty of acting against the state, said Mutahir Zeb Khan, the administrator for the Khyber tribal region [....]

Russia lawmakers advance bill on penalties for protesters
By Sergei L. Loiko, Los Angeles Times, May 23, 2012
MOSCOW — Stiff new penalties aimed at opposition protesters were given preliminary approval Tuesday by Russian lawmakers loyal to President Vladimir Putin, the target of mass rallies and demonstrations before his March election victory.
The bill, which opposition parliament members termed draconian and protested by threatening to file out of a legislative session, calls for fines of up to $50,000 and up to 200 hours of community service for organizers of rallies and demonstrations that grow violent or exceed the approved number of participants.
The sanctions were approved on first reading by parliament's lower house, which is controlled by Putin's United Russia party. They mark a return by the Kremlin to a tough stance against critics after concessions during the recent election campaign [...]

In Cuba, Mystery Shrouds the Fate of an Undersea Internet...
Associated Press, May 21, 2012
HAVANA — It was all sunshine, smiles and celebratory speeches as officials marked the arrival of an undersea fiber-optic cable they promised would end Cuba's Internet isolation and boost web capacity 3,000-fold. Even a retired Fidel Castro had hailed the dawn of a new cyber-age on the island.
More than a year after the February 2011 ceremony on Siboney Beach in eastern Cuba, and 10 months after the system was supposed to have gone online, the government never mentions the cable anymore, and Internet here remains the slowest in the hemisphere. People talk quietly about embezzlement torpedoing the project and the arrest of more than a half-dozen senior telecom officials.
Perhaps most maddening, nobody has explained what happened to the much-ballyhooed $70 million project....
