Fixin' Fiore (Site Upgrades and RFEs)

There seems to be much mumbling lately about site upgrades and requests for enhancement (RFEs). I figured I'd dump my first few into a forum; perhaps it can serve as a repository.

Mr. Fiore already knows about the embed demands. (I guiltily admit that I have an app that can pipe the Flash bytestream to a file and 'save' it for local replay. I would never redistribute, though, which is what embeds are needed for.)

Would Hillary run as an Independent?

When he lost the Democratic primary in Connecticut J. Lieberman ran as an Independent and won. I think he received votes from republicans who knew their guy would certainly lose and figured Joe was the next best thing. Would HillandBill do the same?

CAFETERIA CHRISTIANS

The Pope visits the United States this week but don't be fooled into thinking President Bush shares a spirituality with the Pontiff.

Read my latest column first published in April, 2005 at http://www.cosmiqe.blogspot.com/ and see if you agree. Then return here or to my Blog and offer a comment of your own.

McCain and Torture

I was under the impression that McCain was opposed to the use of torture.

To Quote the Great FLOYD- "Is There Anybody Out There?"

Here in PA it's starting to look like Ground Zero of the campaign. Ads are starting to hit the air and the yard signs are getting posted, My phone is starting to ring and my mail box is full of crap...ANYWAY, Thought I'd drop in and see if there are any old faces still logging in!

TRICKLE DOWN POLITICS by The Cosmicmessenger

In my new Column I discuss how our economy has slowed to a drip and all President Bush has left in his arsenal is optimistic talk about how confident he is things will get better.

Could it be he's trying to stimulate the economy with defense spending because as an oil man this is all he knows how to do ? Protect the oligarchy at all costs including our Constitutional liberties if this is what it takes to keep the corporate machine going.

Read through my assessment at http://www.cosmiqe.blogspot.com/ and then post your reaction either here or at my Blog to this unenviable situation.

I would like to see a cartoon about

those wonderful nigerian fake emails wanting us American entropernuers to launder their money, and how that is an IRS trap to catch us commiting tax fraud. Those tactics where started by the Clinton Administration and are still being used today.

Can we please see something about the Palestinians this week?

Thanks, Mark! You're a real treasure on the Internet. I tell everyone about you. I don't agree with everything you say, but you are at least consistent in your views, which is a lot more than I can say for our leaders.

The following is a letter I wrote to Nancy Pelosi.

Speaker Pelosi,

Why do you defend the Israelis so much that you seemingly fail to see the suffering of the Palestinians?

Just keep drinking the water people!

Bow Wow Mark,

This is the Red Baron from ttp://www.PUPAGANDA.com ;)
I'm writing in this forum to encourage you to create a cartoon about the mass fluoridation of our water and the willful ignorance in excepting mass medication which is poisoning us.

Like the topic says "Just keep drinking the water people!"
You're all being medicated anyway. Why would you want it to stop?

doreen

have you ever seen 'cows with guns'? google it

Doreen the Downer is great, Mark!

Every once in a while, it's good for people to see what they're eating. Also, a large part of the rainforest deforestation (close to 70%, from what I understand) is a result of ranching. I think I read somewhere that close to half of the meat from Brazil ends up in....are you ready for this....American fast food! We don't have any grazing pastures anymore, so we're using another country....like everything else we do.

American fast food = Rainforest destruction

But...shhhhhh....Don't tell anyone...they might get upset...

Besides all that, cattle are inhumanely treated.

Great Op-Ed on Torture

This is one of the best, most well-reasoned arguments I've seen on torture. Raving leftie screed, it ain't:

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME

In my new Column I take a look at what the contemporary media has become and the consequences for American democracy if our Presidential candidates who advocate change don't pledge to clean up the FCC as one of their first priorities after moving into the White House.

Has The Corporate Media Sold Its Soul To Politicians For Profit?

Read through my assessment and afterwards tell me whether you think this mess can be cleaned up and how ?

Kucinich

Has Mark Fiore picked apart Kucinich yet? What is the buzz on this board...besides the UFO issue, of course.

bush vactions

Bush Vaction

About this McCain fella

Just wondering. Does anyone but me really wonder if he was a POW for all that time? Did he prove it? To who? How? He's had a long ride on that train, we should be sure it's a valid ticket. Jake.

Wanna see how 'efficient' your social security admin is?

I just HAD to post this here, only a true bureaucrat could talk about how they are 'attacking' the backlog of disability claims by reducing those that are over 1000 (yep that's 3 zeros) days old! Ya gotta read this, it would be a lot funnier if it wasn't so pathetic, but you'd swear this was written as a sarcastic piece, but no... they really think they are getting ahead of this problem [sigh], oh yeah, and they've reduced the 'wait time' for disabilty claims from an average of 88 days to 'just' 82, wowee, lets stop the presses for that... well anyway, read on:

Tragic Oil Spill

What are you opinions about how the oil spill is being handled or mishandled?
