Not going to say much now, although desperation dictates that I will say more later; I just need some time to think first, to figure out how to say it. I guess it really is possible to be too broke to even be able to pay attention.
I'm pretty sure there's no danger of the OWD site going away, no matter how bad my personal situation gets. I made provisions two months ago for others to be able to take over if I wake up on Fiddler's Green some morning and I'm sure they'd do the same if I simply dropped out of sight with no explanation.
Apparently I have time to handle 9/11 appropriately and I'll try like hell to get the Veteran-American product line up and running; again there are others qualified to cover for me; I'm gradually realizing our bench it deeper than I first thought.
I need to crawl under the porch and think a while. Later.

No Difference Between Democrats and Republicans? Think Again
According to CBS News, Democratic Senator John D. "Jay" Rockefeller (D-WV, 100%) -- who has announced to the world that he's a dimwitted "dupe" of the idiot evil genius George W. Bush -- still thinks that we'd be better off if Saddam Hussein were still in charge of Iraq:
[...]
So Jay Rockefeller, nutty as a Froot Loop, would chair the Senate Intelligence Committee -- and spend the next two years investigating Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld... rather than al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Iran. All because some Republicans insist there's "not a dime's worth of difference" between Republicans and Democrats, which means between Chairman Pat Roberts (R-KS, 88%) and Chairman Jay Rockefeller.
Yeah, stay home and sulk instead of voting. Better yet, vote for a third-party candidate to "teach the Republicans a lesson." Great idea!
I'm sure hard-core conservative Republicans will be elected in droves in 2008. And their first order of business will be to begin the task of rebuilding half a dozen major American cities that were destroyed by al-Qaeda, while Congress was busy impeaching Bush for intercepting al-Qaeda phone calls.
Newsflash!
9/11 Flick Far Fairer Than Other "Historical" Docudramas
Dafydd ab Hugh
This New York Post story, which appears to be trying to cast doubts upon the accuracy and even veracity of movie the Path to 9/11, instead shows it to be tremendously better researched, with more consultants and a greater willingness to change the script for historical accuracy, than any previous movie I've read about. ...

I’ll post the controversial scene here later if/when it airs as well as anything goofy from the very special impromptu “Nightline” they’ve cobbled together for 10:30. ...

If it were only a fringe few spewing tall tales about 9/11, Popular Mechanics' book wouldn't have been worth writing. But the movement has gone mainstream...
Video: Highlights of Cheney on MTP
Allahpundit
Vice President Dick Cheney joined Tim Russert for the hour on this morning’s edition of Meet the Press. This was the first time Cheney appeared on the show in over three years. Clip includes Cheney talking about the Taliban in Afghanistan, regimes, the War on Terror, and of course five years of thwarting terrorist attacks on US soil. ...
Greg at The Political Pit Bull put together some highlights of the show as well.
Tivo alert: 9/11 TV reminders
Allahpundit
“Path to 9/11″ airs tonight on ABC from 8 to 11 and again tomorrow from 8 to 10:20, with a 20-minute interruption at 9 p.m. for Bush’s speech. The boss says a good half hour’s been cut from tonight’s segment but I can’t get ABC’s homepage to load right now to confirm that. We’ll have video of Bush’s speech after it happens and, in all likelihood, some sort of video comparison between the pre- and post-edited Sandy Berger scene from “Path” later this evening.
CBS is going head to head with “Path” tonight by re-airing Jules and Gedeon Naudet’s magnificent documentary, “9|11″. According to the Dish Network program guide, they’ve updated the film with new interviews since it was last broadcast. If you haven’t seen it before, it’s a no-brainer: skip “Path” and watch this. And if you happen to live in one of the poor, benighted areas of this country that can’t bear the thought of firefighters yelling “holy shit” in primetime at the sight of planes crashing into skyscrapers, you can watch over the web. 8 p.m.

One o' them "viral" things Cookie sends me now and then: Star Trek
The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech, and walked out into the lobby where he met President Bush.
They shook hands, and as they walked the Iranian said, "You know, I have just one question about what I have seen in America.
President Bush said, "Well, anything I can do to help you, I will."
The Iranian whispered "My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, and Sulu who is Chinese, but no Arabs. My son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians on Star Trek."
President Bush laughed, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador, and whispered back, "It's because it takes place in the future."

Look At Me, I'm A Democrat
Dan Riehl
LMAO Sorry but this moment is simply too rich to not preserve. Take a look at Memeorandum - just pick a Liberal blog post and read any handful of comments. I have never seen so many people so totally melt down all at once in my life. And it's all over a television show.
Do these idiots even care about the significance of 9/11? Berger, Albright, Clinton - they were all done with politics long before this thing was produced. You'd think at least one of them might admit that this has less to do with Bill, then it does the Democrat Party as a whole.
Bill Clinton: Pull The Path to 9/11!
Dafydd ab Hugh
So now it's come to this: former President Bill Clinton has formally demanded, through his attorneys, that ABC simply shelve its 5-hour, $40 million docudrama, the Path to 9/11.
Well... maybe; I'm a little suspicious, given that the source for this claim is a blog that was linked on Drudge. None of the elite media is carrying this story, though all of them carried many other stories about the Democrat protest against the flick... and many others have demanded that it be pulled and not aired. ...
General Giap and Congressman Murtha
Henry Mark Holzer
I’ve just finished reorganizing some of my Election 2004 essays. One, about John Kerry’s anti-war activities and the North Vietnamese, struck me because of how it applies today to opportunists like Jack Murtha, leftover Marxists, airhead celebrities, America haters, and virtually the entire Democratic congressional and party leadership. Here’s what Erika Holzer and I wrote two years ago:
Fox News Channel has just reported that “in his 1985 memoir about the [Vietnam] war, communist Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap wrote that if it weren’t for organizations like Kerry’s Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Hanoi would have surrendered to the United States.” This is not the first time Vietnamese communist leaders have credited the anti-War movement in the United States with bolstering the formers determination to stay the course.
