READ THIS: Most people gave up on the Iraq War last August after the U.S. Congress, Iraqi Parliament,and President Bush deserted their posts to go on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N;
'Power Is a Tool, Not a Toy' (from Rule # 25 in Craig Crawford's, The Politics of Life: 25 Rules for Survival in a Brutal and Manipulative World):
'...Power should not be a play-thing
for a politician's amusement...'
It is the 11th hour, And they went on:
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N
The war in Iraq is at the heart of
the instability in the Middle East.
It is now the third-longest running
war in U.S. history: longer than the
American Civil War, WWI, WWII, and the Korean War.
Only the Philippine-American and
Vietnam Wars have lasted longer.
Over 4,000 U.S. troops have been
killed, with another 30,000 wounded.
Some estimates put the Iraqi death toll
at over 655,000 since the war began
in early 2003.
The United Nations estimates that more
than 2,000,000 Iraqis are now refugees
in neighboring countries.
And more than 1,900,000 are internally
displaced within Iraq (roughly 1/6 the country's population)...
It is the 11th hour, And they went on:
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!
Featured song: Connie Francis,
'V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N' August marks the
45th anniversary of the hit tune;
also produced and co-written by
Ms. Francis. She is fondly remembered
for touring Vietnam during that war
to entertain our troops.

Imus is back and we have lost 8 months worth of commentary, comedy and political interviews. He has been sorely missed.
His apparent comments on the events and personalities of the last 8 months portrayed in this video are a complete fabrication taken entirely out of any context. But it could have happened... just this way.

Stephen Colbert, who was not allowed on the South Carolina ballot but was included in the GeniusRocket Primary, has dropped out of the presidential race. "Although I lost by the slimmest margin in presidential election history — only 10 votes — I have chosen not to put the country through another agonizing Supreme Court battle," said Colbert. "It is time for this nation to heal."
Sadly this throws a wet blanket over our recent report that:
The Facebook group set up to support Stephen Colbert, the newest addition to the presidential race, has now gained more than one million members. Its name, "2,000,000 Strong for Stephen T Colbert," is an homage to the Barack Obama group, "One Million Strong For Barack," which still hasn't broken the 400,000 mark. The fact that Colbert, who is a joke candidate, gained so many online supporters in so little time means that either political support on Facebook is still poorly understood, or Colbert is actually catching on. Either way, it's now primary time. Is South Carolina ready
President Colbert is tied with Senator Joe Biden in the polls and has topped Dennis Kucinich and Bill Richardson:
Joe Biden: 2.7%
Stephen Colbert 2.3%
Bill Richardson 2.1%
Dennis Kucinich 2.1%
In the the words of the immortal Pat Paulson(prez candidate): "I've upped my standards. Now up yours"!
Gee, it was kinda fun for awhile. But as President Colbert would say, "Up your dix-no-notch"!
THE POLITICS OF LIFE
25 Rules for Survival in a Brutal and Manipulative World
By Craig Crawford
Being nice and polite only gets you so far in the world. Craig Crawford recognizes that the world can be a cruel place, and outlines 25 ways to stick up for yourself and make yourself heard in the politics of daily living. Publishers Weekly says, "Crawford's tone can be harsh, but the slight flinching reaction one might begin with segues to enjoyment and identification as Crawford presents recognizable real-life scenarios, prompting plenty of ah-ha moments of practical discovery."
Inspired by famed sixteenth century philosopher, Niccolo Machiavelli, THE POLITICS OF LIFE: 25 RULES FOR SURVIVAL IN A BRUTAL AND MANIPULATIVE WORLD provides rules that are effective and useful in your business, your personal life and your own "politics" of life.
The 10 commandments will get you to heaven, but Craig Crawford's 25 rules will help you survive the purgatory on earth.
-Larry J. Sabato, Director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics
So many of us say we hate politics, but we play politics every day.

Queen "Radio Ga Ga" Lyrics:
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
Radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds -- invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh -- you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
We watch the shows -- we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio -- Radio
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
Loves you

READ AND GREEN THIS: Sing! Sing! Let the IMUS-ing begin...
This video is dedicated to the loyal fans of Imus whose groundswell of activity in
the blogosphere this past week has largely been ignored by the media.
"Sing! Sing! Let the IMUS-ing begin", attempts to address the tremendous anti-Imus surge this past week (from all the usual suspects).
Keep up the good work! And a special thanx to Neil Best of Newsday and the
tireless gang at ImusFansdotOrg and SupportImusdotOrg

READ THIS...GREEN THIS: Six months into the post-Imus radio/TV era and still no sign of the I-Man; only a new 'verb':
IMUS'd!
IMUS'd emerged as a 'go to word' to describe being 'railroaded'.
To avoid being IMUS'd:
(among other things) Never call Rush Limbaugh a "fat pill-popping loser";
Lesley Stahl a "gutless lying weasel";
Cheney a "war criminal";
Contessa Brewer a "fat pig";
Carlson Tucker a "bow tie-wearing pussy".
Note: Contessa Brewer responded to the I-Man with, "cantankerous old fool".
Tucker Carlson stopped wearing bow ties.
Usage bandied about the blogosphere and
main stream media:
IMUS'd: Verb of choice for stoning an
opponent.
IMUS'd: v. Excuse for a stone-throwing
party.
If you ever get IMUS'd don't feel alone.
Nowadays everybody must get stoned.
Music: 'Rainy Day Women #12 &35', Bob Dylan
Album: Blonde On Blonde, Columbia Records 1966
About the song: A reliable account is from Kenzie Buttrey, son of legendary Nashville session drummer Kenny Buttrey (played on many of Dylan's biggest hits): " Bob Dylan started recording in Nashville just so he could get my dad (Kenny), Charlie McCoy and a few others to play on his records. According to my dad, the song had nothing to do with drugs, was a reference to being executed by stoning and the title "Rainy Day Women" was completely random on purpose in reflection of the randomness of its recording. The song was actually never meant to be released as it was just the band's way of screwing around. Everyone swapped instruments, except my dad who set his drums up backwards. Afterward, they decided to release it. I was told that the only time my dad ever heard Dylan laugh was during the recording of this song".
Other accounts: Charlie McCoy put a call through to Wayne 'Doc' Butler who brought his trumpet down to the studio. The other musicians all swapped instruments which resulted in that ragged marching band sound. Henry Strzelecki gave his bass to Al Kooper and proceeded to play the piano but he couldn't work the pedals with his feet so he had to lay beside the piano and push them with his hands. The voice that you can hear braying with laughter is Strzecki on the piano. After the session in the control room, Dylan was asked for the name of the song, he replied, "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" (reference to the presence of a woman aged 35 and her 12 year old daughter in the studio). It was raining that evening. Tunes basic theme is 'oppression' via biblical stone pelting, although it does have an obvious 'double meaning').
