September 29, 2004
Beverly Cocco, "Apolitical Republican Mom:" Cocco's Advocacy Group Links to International ANSWERGee, I'm so suprised that Dan Rather forgot to mention that.
Update: Powerlineblog, which can really push a story, is on the case. Update-- Even One of the "Peace" Groups Beverly Cocco's site links to says the Emails are riddled with inaccuracies; how come Dan Rather didn't mention it? "That e-mail doesn't die. It's got a lot of inaccuracies in it," said Bill Galvin, a counseling coordinator with the Center on Conscience and War, a conscientious objectors organization in Washington. "We're getting so tired of answering questions about the stupid thing." Yeahp, if you look at the very Republican, very apolitical links section for Bev Cocco's nonpartisan activist group, you'll see the Center on Conscience and War. Even her own compatriots admit the emails are fake. Planet Peschel tips to this Newhouse News Service article debunking the emails. The emails that CBS represented, through its silent endorsement, as accurate. I Question the Timing! Update: It just so happens that, once again, CBS News chooses to air an unsubstantiated and dishonest story at the same time the Democrats are pushing the issue. Dan Rather just happened to run his forged-documents story at the same time the DNC was preparing its Fortunate Son ad campaign.

This is why the mainstream media absolutely, wholly, completely, and indefatigably hates bloggers. I had a feeling something was fishy about their ability to find this ideal 'Republican' mother with narcissistic "Not my sons" views. Without bloggers, who would know she had these contacts and that the group is linked to Communist groups? Posted by: addison on September 29, 2004 01:35 PM
Damn, Dave. You beat me to that one. But seriously, President Bush, bring the People's Eyebrow home! Posted by: Sean M. on September 29, 2004 01:36 PM
You ever get the feeling CBS is trying to trade in one scandal for another one that they hope will blow over while the other remains forgotten? Perhaps that is giving them too much credit. Never attribute to malice where stupidity will suffice. Posted by: Eric Pobirs on September 29, 2004 02:42 PM
Ace, This story is so ridiculous. What the hell is going on at CBS? Has CBS always been this clumsy? Because I don't have a TV, I can't comment on the content of the nightly news (other than what I read by way of transcripts). But now we are to believe that CBS didn't vet the reportedly Republican mom who wants her sons home so badly that she has taken to attacking the President? I am sure every family member, friend, or colleague of someone deployed wants our troops home and out of harm's way, but how many Republican family members of our those now serving in Iraq or Afghanistan are attacking the President (outside of a Michael Moore film, that is)? Are the producers at CBS really that dumb, or are they really that corrupt? It can only be one or the other. Posted by: MeTooThen on September 29, 2004 03:00 PM
MeTooThen, I was thinking the same thing. When I heard the CBS story my first thought was, "why does this lady and her slacker sons think they should be exempt from serving?" Posted by: Golden Boy on September 29, 2004 04:52 PM

Breaking news: Dolly Parton had a real pair of 38s
Or at least one. She carried it everywhere for protection. This joke brought to you by Benny Hill. And speaking of the British: The Buckingham Palace guard tributed her yesterday
Dolly Parton is badgered into saying something negative about Trump's bus-board locker-room talk, but refuses to bow to the media pressure, telling the twink agitator she learned long ago to "keep your damned mouth shut"
What I'm appreciating is that while her surface is soft and sweet, she's got some actual steel a centimeter underneath.
1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show. She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.

"All women who are overweight or obese will have to wear burka. 10,000 steps per day, low carb."
Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit. Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?) I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure. Recent Comments
