Oh, and in case you missed Condi's interview on 60 Minutes last night, here it is.

My jaw dropped at some points during the interview. That woman can lie with the best of them.

ah yes, the unbearable lightness of lies...
it's really taking its toll on her though - the light behind her eyes reminds me of a frantic animal, tired of waging a never ending war.
Her conscience must haunt her.

Indeed.

What's up with that woman? While watching the interview, I called her a whore - garnering a shocked and horrified look from Ms. Art of Code.

Sorry Condi. I just don't get you.

Perhaps even more shocking was the preponderance of hateful email 60 Min got in response to the Richard Clark interview last week. Lots of "that traitor should face a firing squad", and "well just proves 60 Min really is a mouthpiece for Liberal anti-Americanism" and similar tripe.

Apparently this sentiment was in the vast majority. Rush must have issued a Fatwa.

lol

I think the neo-con machine has super-computers that mass-generate emails of that sort, but with stylistic randomness so as to make them appear as though written by the brainwashed masses (much like the systems some spammers use now to bypass filters).

of course, it could have just been the brainwashed masses...

Interesting! I can't believe they're smart enough to automate it though.

Artificial brainwashed masses that are indistinguishable from the real thing?

Hmmm. Maybe so...

Perhaps someone from the rational left should release a similar program to counter them?

ahh, but the rational left is characterized by independant thought and excercized free-will - you just can't fake something like that :)
besides, how we choose to fight our battles is more important than illusions such as "winning", since there is no real competition. If the left were to engage in the same tactics, there would be no difference between the two polarities besides a semantic one.
We lazy liberals just need to get off our asses and make some noise!

Yeah, you're right. I was gonna offer to write a clever leftist spammer program. After all, I am the Art of Code.

But I figured there's no money in it. So screw it. ;-)

nah, they still own all the news outlets.
all this writing back and forth is great though - they may own the TV and print-media, but we're rapidly dominating the internet arena (which will undoubtably be the political/information arena of the new age).
The war wages on!

Might take a few more Bush presidential terms before the New Age of the Internet comes to light. Not sure I want to wait.

But don't let me dampen your enthusiasm. Take the cause to somone who's not already convinced!

Yo! Way to spark a debate, novapsyche.
And we're all on the same side!

nah, too lazy.

I doubt Bush will get in again, but Kerry works for the same people (Skull and Bones, among other interests). Bush might just get assassinated or some such thing - that way all the blame goes down with him and the death of an American president will give them an excuse to invade some more countries and reduce personal freedoms even more.

(side note: my mentioning "president", "Bush" and and "assassination" in this reply means someone from the FBI or NSA will probably end up scanning it - to them I say "Hi, I'm Canadian, and not a threat to anyone")

Heh. :)

She does lie. It'll be interesting to see what she says under oath.

Ha!

Hey wait. If they can't get you 'cause you're a Cannuck...

That means they'll come after me!

Thanks a bunch, Bud!
