Report: Taliban using sophisticated media network

July 26, 2008

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban have created a sophisticated media network to undermine support for the Afghan government, sending threats by text message and spreading the militia’s views through songs available as ring tones, according to a report released Thursday.>>>>>

What do you expect from the people?  Would it not be the same if some foreign country unlawfully invaded and occupied the U.S. and the people started playing “Battle Hymn of the Republic?”  We don’t expect them to play salsa and reggaeton, do we?  Remember, this is a ‘report’ – which translates into: Believe what we are saying to be credible.


Why Vincent Bugliosi’s “Bush Is a Murderer” Book Is Too Risque Even For Don Imus

July 24, 2008

You might think cable news networks, morning gab shows, and Comedy Central’s unique offering of satire soapboxes might be interested in the new book from Vincent Bugliosi, the Los Angeles county prosecutor who put Charles Manson behind bars, who’s now promoting The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, which has sold a quite remarkable 130,000 copies.
You would be wrong.

Bugliosi and his publicity team can’t get him booked on Today or Good Morning America, let alone Countdown or The Colbert Report. Book review publications, so far including the New York Times (it’s “under consideration”), won’t write up his manuscript. Don Imus won’t even accept his advertising. Don Imus!
