On the Road Again became Nelson’s ninth No. 1 hit overall in November 1980 and one of his most recognizable tunes. Willie Nelson performing the song live with Sheryl Crow at Crossroads Guitar Festival 2007.
Whenever Bill O’Reilly rips a TV network one knows that this is Must-See TV. O’Reilly’s target is unsurprisingly NBC/MSNBC for their supposed left-wing, liberal bias. He starts by referencing Karl Rove’s opinion to prove that Scott McClellan can’t be trusted (which is apparently his only argument) and then he goes on with his silly anti-NBC, anti-Obama tirade.
“Here are my thoughts — this is disgraceful, this is inexcusable, this is indefensible, this is obnoxious, other than that, it’s fine”, says Fox News’ guest, which perfectly summarizes the way Fox is going to frame the issue of McClellan’s book and its impact on Bush’s legacy and McCain’s aspirations as we move forward.
What a Wonderful World, a song by Bob Thiele, first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released as a single in early fall 1967, performed by Katie Melua in duet with Eva Cassidy.
John McCain has some nerve to offer Obama a trip to Iraq together as if he had a right to offer anything that’s constructive and valuable to a guy who knew that the Iraq war would be disastrous and was 100% correct whereas McBush had made all the wrong decisions for the last 8 years and was 100% wrong about pretty much everything.
Sean Hannity defends McCain and admits that when he was in Iraq last time he talked to hundreds of US soldiers. I though that when you go to a foreign land like Iraq, you usually meet and talk to the Iraqi residents who actually were born there and live there, not the occupying forces. Good manners is one thing, straight talk BS is another I suppose. One thing is clear — what they both are saying is not productive and helpful — McCain’s or Hannity’s visit to Iraq is definitely the last thing the soldiers care about.
“We didn’t say it, but we implied it that we, if we won the Congressional elections, we could stop the war. Now anybody who was a good student of government knew that wasn’t true. But you know, the temptation to want to win back the Congress, we sort of stretched the facts”, says Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman Paul Kanjorski. It seems that the Democratic Party hasn’t been honest all along. Even though the news comes from Fox, let’s be real, these are the Congressman’s words after all.
Zbigniew Brzezinski, a political scientist and geostrategist, who served as United States National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter from 1977 to 1981, talks about the failed and self-destructive Bush policies in the Middle East and around the world. He criticizes McCain by saying that his policies virtually guarantee a total isolation of the United States — USA as a “global gated community” is what Bush’s third term essentially means. His final prediction is truly scary — the other half of America that has been screwing up so much lately yet worships John McCain anyway and wants “more of the same”, should really take it to heart and think critically for once.
Motorcycle Emptiness is a single from the debut album by Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers, Generation Terrorists. To avoid controversy in the US, the track list was changed and some of the more “difficult” tracks were dropped. The album was released in its full, uncensored form everywhere else.
“The damage has been horrible, but the next president can change that in 10 minutes,” Carter says, as he tells Tavis Smiley what the next president has to declare and act upon starting in ‘09. Let’s face it, BS from McCain, telling what is righteous won’t solve anything, only telling and doing what is right will lead to real change.
Harry Reid tells Alan Colmes why John McCain shouldn’t become the next US president — one of the reasons he names is his temper. A tendency to flip flop to broaden the base that McCain needs to get elected and temperament ala O’Reilly are two qualities that should immediately disqualify him. Everyone can agree that changing opinions and decisions from one to another and emotional imbalance will not guarantee change, it will guarantee a third Bush term with one particular difference, Bushism — the documented stupidity will be replaced by McCainism — a constant outcry of a bullying administration to prove that diplomacy as the only real solution is unheard of, confirming that more drastic methods are required like “talking through strength” over and over again. That we definitely can’t afford.
As it turns out, if one is an evangelical pastor and doesn’t say really offensive words such as “Hitler was a hunter with a certain mission”, he or she is free to endorse John McCain without fear of any potential future public disassociation and criticism, which for a guy with thousands of church members may be not only shameful, but financially disastrous.
Pastor Hagee and others are shrewd and calculating people enough to realize that at this point one has to play it carefully and pragmatically, however pathetic it may appear to the public. Is it sad? Of course it is. The question is whether the public, particularly that specific electorate that likes McCain, Hagee, Parsley and god knows who else, oftentimes not knowing why they do so, will be smart enough to realize that McCain and Hagee are blatantly conspiring and cheating, both having own goals in life, which are not necessarily good for the country and its future.
It has been apparent for quite some time now that Frank Luntz has his own subtle agenda. Rarely however does he turn into an expert on the US policy in the Middle East and the Middle East itself. “Talk is cheap”, he tells Alan Colmes, which every single focus group member of Frank Luntz must find really striking.
The “focus group battle” to elect Hillary has been evidently lost, but why not stay “neutral” and “fair and balanced” until the general election is over? Why spread the confusion? “Alan, it sounds to me like you talk to Hitler”, he concludes. Well, it’s safe to say that Frank’s pretense of neutrality has been officially abandoned — the words speak for themselves after all, don’t they.
Everloving is featured on Moby’s sixth studio album Play released in 1999. The album was Moby’s first true pop success, introducing him to a worldwide mainstream audience.
Alex Castellanos, a republican consultant, says that it’s not a problem of sexism in the democratic presidential campaign that we’re dealing with, it’s a problem of Hillary Clinton. “Some women, by the way, are named that and it’s accurate… let’s face it, she can be a very abrasive, aggressive, irritating person”, he says.
Republicans must feel frustrated that such an easy target like Hillary may be on the sidelines this time around and it’s logical. The “creative strategy” to beat Obama has been already employed by the Clinton camp and it proved to be unsuccessful. Given the fact that there are probably way more talented people in the Clinton machine than in the McCain camp, the frustration expressed by conservatives is totally understandable — “Operation Chaos” was a total debacle, Bush wants to have a say, the Clintons won’t be there — for right wingers these are truly frightening times indeed.
