Update On August 6, 2001, "A Day Of Infamy"As covered below, Elizabeth Bumiller, hard-left hardcore hack, decided to slip in an anti-Bush non-sequitor into a rather lame piece about Bush's vacations. I knew she'd done it before, but I'd forgotten when. She previously made certain to mention that CCR's Fortunate Son -- about a "Senator's son" who didn't have to go to Vietnam -- was not on Bush's iPod. Not that it was on his iPod, which would be somewhat ironic and yes, a bit newsworthy. But that it wasn't. Which is akin to noting that John Kerry's iPod did not contain the Edgar Winters' classic Frankenstein. Thanks to Slublog for the reminder. He's also ever so glad we have a professional media that doesn't stoop to the hyperpartisan snarking and inappropriately off-the-cuff politicized slams that amateur blogs do. posted by Ace at 12:38 PM
CommentsI also heard that the President doesn't beat his wife. I can't believe that the MSM is missing that point. Posted by: Steve L. on August 9, 2005 12:48 PM
Fortunate Son is a kick-ass song. The best anti-war song ever written, I'd say. And certainly a good argument against a draft-era army, where the poor can't get, or don't know how to get deferments. Doesn't apply to the modern military at all though. Posted by: Mark on August 9, 2005 01:13 PM
The song doesn't even apply to Bush. John Fogerty was a member of the California National Guard, so I doubt he would have referred to a member of the Texas Air National Guard as a draft dodger. Posted by: Axolotl on August 9, 2005 01:20 PM
Ace, please stop chilling their dissent. The public has a right to know these things. Besides, if they reported it, you can be sure that he really doesn't have it on there. "Multi-layer" such and such or whatever. Posted by: Steve on August 9, 2005 01:26 PM

My family celebrated PDB Day the first couple of years. But it's gotten so commercialized lately. Posted by: Paul Zrimsek on August 9, 2005 02:00 PM
Exactly, Paul. I mean, I don't know about you, but with all of the sales, I sure as Hell stayed away from the mall this weekend. Posted by: Sean M. on August 9, 2005 02:07 PM

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver. It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.

Former CIA operative John Kiriakou talks with Matt Taibbi about the Brennan/Comey Coup
Both guys are old liberals, maybe even of the far-left variety, and both are appalled by the Democrat/Deep State coup against the US. Kiriakou says that CIA officers were legally obligated to report to the Inspector General John Brennan's repeated overruling of actual intelligence to encode his partisan conspiracy theories into US intel product, but of course they didn't.
