So, my fellow countrymen, as I sit here, not yet at Gettysburg, I have a notion that this is the most important vote that you’ll probably ever cast. Because should this gang of thugs continue in the two houses of Congress, there isn’t any chance of getting the Constitution back….

Am I a conspiracy buff? No, but I’m a conspiracy analyst
and I know where there’s a conspiracy and how it is working.

So this [election] is the last chance really… to have a new, a clean sweep… Now it has got to happen or — Welcome to the Third Reich.

Lie by Lie: Chronicle of a War Foretold: August 1990 to March 2003

The first drafts of history are fragmentary. Important revelations arrive late, and out of order. In this timeline, we’ve assembled the history of the Iraq War to create a resource we hope will help resolve open questions of the Bush era. What did our leaders know and when did they know it? And, perhaps just as important, what red flags did we miss, and how could we have missed them? This is the first installment in our Iraq War timeline project.

On her second appearance she sang in a very different style. This one almost convinced me that Bianca is not Judy re-born but rather Janis:

Bianca’s last performance on the show convinced me that she is no one but Bianca Ryan, a young girl with a spine-tingling voice with gut-wrenching power.

I feel thankful that YouTube exists. Without it I might never have seen these awesome performances. Since I don’t live the US I don’t see US television shows for a year or two, if ever. NBC may have started the Bianca buzz but YouTube is spreading it around the world. And as fast as the Powers That Be remove clips for “piracy”, fans keep re-posting them under a different account.

NBC does have video highlights of much higher quality, but only if you know where to look.

Mark Foley at a Palm Beach County, Fla., fundraiser.

Oct. 7, 2006 | In 1960, when Gore Vidal ran for Congress, his Republican opponent tried to spread word that Vidal was a homosexual. This was not, strictly speaking, news. Vidal had written one of the first explicitly gay novels in American literature (”The City and the Pillar”) and had never been at great pains to conceal his private life. But in trying to fan the flames that Vidal himself had ignited, J. Ernest Wharton ran up against a strange conundrum. The same media outlets that would have jumped all over a heterosexual scandal turned strangely mum the moment homosexuality entered the picture. For the New York Times and the Associated Press and Time magazine, this was the love that could not speak its name.

And still can’t. In the swirl of controversy surrounding former Rep. Mark Foley and his overtures to congressional pages, one thing has been clear all along: Foley’s offenses have nothing to do with being gay, everything to do with being a pedophile. And one thing is emerging with new clarity: The mainstream media’s treatment of gay politicians is essentially unchanged from when Gore Vidal ran for office 46 years ago. This long-standing policy of nondisclosure can now safely be called a disservice — to gay people, to voters, to the politicians themselves, to everyone. It must change.
