HOUR ONE GUEST: Newsweek's Jonathan Alter on the FISA bill, Obama's position on FISA, etc.
http://www.newsweek.com/id/32218

If you are about to be foreclosed on or you think you may be foreclosed on watch the FIRST video below. A report from CNN indicates that if your bank can’t FIND YOUR LOAN DOCUMENTS you may not have to lose your home. 40% of banks CAN’T FIND YOUR LOAN DOCUMENTS.

The Senate is working on a big Housing bill to try to get relief for homeowners facing foreclosures. The bill is being slowly amended and tweaked and generally held up. This may be a procedural way of taking up all the remaining time in the Senate before the July 4th holiday in order to keep FISA off the floor. We’ll see. FISA is on the Senate Schedule for today.

Obama supports the FISA bill and give his explanation below. Do you smell CLINTON all over this? Or does Obama think the FISA Court needs to be brought back into the wiretapping mix? Until they pass a bill into law Warrant less wiretaps are occurring now without any Court oversight. Tough call.

Ralph Nader is an ego maniac who will do anything to get attention. He says Barack Obama talks 'White', doesn’t want to appear to be like Jessie Jackson and is appealing to white guilt. LOSER.

Idiot Bush makes a slur against Philllipine-American workers in front of the PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES who is here trying to get help for Typhoon recovery! LOSER

And the Supreme Court says you have an individual right to own a gun. The DC ban on handguns is lifted. What ever happened to States Rights? Well, DC isn’t a state so screw ‘em.


HOMEWORK

DO NOT ABANDON YOUR PROPERTY AND MOVE OUT – TRY THIS FIRST!! MAKE THE BANK PRODUCE THE LOAN DOCUMENT ‘THE NOTE” BECAUSE 40% OF THE TIME THEY’VE LOST IT AND YOU GET TO KEEP YOUR HOUSE

Senate working on Housing Bill – President Bush will VETO!! Ms. Perino White House SPOKESMODEL reiterated the veto threat citing concern over a provision that would allocate nearly $4 billion in grants to communities with high foreclosure rates to buy and rehabilitate vacant properties.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/25/washington/25housing.html

While the Housing bill is out of committee there are 44 amendments to be considered!
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...id=a7XizFsn44ME

One Senator is obstructing passage because he wants a tax credit for renewable energy attached and there was an agreement that there would be no amendments unrelated to HOUSING. THIS COULD BE A GOOD THING BECAUSE IT WILL SLOW THE CALENDAR DOWN AND PERHAPS KEEP FISA FROM COMING TO A VOTE

OBAMA'S "FISA BETRAYAL"
http://www.progressive.org/mag_wx0602408

OBAMA STATEMENT ON THIS BILL (JUNE 20TH)
"Under this compromise legislation, an important tool in the fight against terrorism will continue, but the President's illegal program of warrantless surveillance will be over. It restores FISA and existing criminal wiretap statutes as the exclusive means to conduct surveillance -- making it clear that the President cannot circumvent the law and disregard the civil liberties of the American people. It also firmly re-establishes basic judicial oversight over all domestic surveillance in the future. It does, however, grant retroactive immunity, and I will work in the Senate to remove this provision so that we can seek full accountability for past offenses. But this compromise guarantees a thorough review by the Inspectors General of our national security agencies to determine what took place in the past, and ensures that there will be accountability going forward. By demanding oversight and accountability, a grassroots movement of Americans has helped yield a bill that is far better than the Protect America Act.

"It is not all that I would want. But given the legitimate threats we face, providing effective intelligence collection tools with appropriate safeguards is too important to delay. So I support the compromise, but do so with a firm pledge that as President, I will carefully monitor the program, review the report by the Inspectors General, and work with the Congress to take any add

Ok Double R, I don't want to hijack your show but before anyone says no, no, no to rehab (cough-cough) errrr I mean anwar there is the Robert Redford theory of life. Saving Sundance, Redford decided to develop a portion of Sundance. Sundance projects are well known but lessor known by alot of people is that the commericial part of Sundance protects its wilderness. Happy Birthday Alaska, you are much older than me, some 60 days or so.

Yes long live the resistance or V=I/R or something like that because I was drunk that entire semester.

You are the Man Bro Dave, there I said it.

Now don't get me wrong Homeboy, I love the smell of Caribou dung in the morning, it smells like victory, errrrr, no that ain't right. I love the smell of caribou dung in the morning, it's smells like nature. Oh, that does not capture the spirit does it ? I love the smell of caribou dung in the morning, it smells like Teddy Stevens.

HA, there I said it, have a nice day. Getting in touch with my feminine side, I put on the french maid costume to scrub the kitchen floor. Sorry no pics today.

That loan document thing is PRICELESS, and 'ole Orrin Hatch needs to check his own tinfoil hat, because this is the same guy who not only claimed -- totally sans evidence of any kind -- that Saddam was supporting Al Qaeda (when he was far too much of a megalomaniac to share power with any sort of loose cannon like Osama and his crew).

Excerpt from Bon Jovi's Have a Nice Day:

Take a look around you, nothing´s what it seems
We're living in a broken home of hopes and dreams,
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.
Anybody, brave enough to take a stand,
I've knocked on every door, on every dead-end street,
Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe

Yesterday's Supreme Court decision has convinced me of something I've suspected for years -

Child molesters vote Republican!

Oh - saw my first McCain for Pres bumper sticker this morning ... it was BLUE!!!

Don't they even know that they're the red team???

Hiawatha

Lets put this in Perspective, of the 3 Infamous "Axis of Evil" Countries,

which One actually Has Nuclear Weapons & does Not Have any Oil.

Check & Double Check. Ok they're Off the List. The only thing Worse

than Bush's Transparency is the Democrats (Complacency) Complicity.

Thank RR for all those links, I did make it through some of them, but it time to listen up, so it'll have to wait.

As to Nader it seems like he's become a constructive tool for the GOP. He enabled Bush to be elected in both the 2000 and 2004 elections, and now it looks like he's working for them again. Has he sold out to the very corporations he was supposedly fighting? Is his Green Party just a Green wash? I envy Switzerland with their 17 some political parties. I wonder if the Dems and GOP will each split into 2 parties separating the liberals and conservatives in both. Wouldn't the liberal side of the Democratic Party essentially be a Green Party?

States Rights?

What about a state's right to approve or reject same sex marriages?
What about a state's right to approve or reject abortions?
What about a state's right to execute those who rape children?

Nader is such a FRAUD! Like Randi's been saying for years, if Nader really cared about change he would have built an organization from the ground up by having men and women running for the House and Senate every two years instead of just playing spoiler every four years to get attention. He's servicing someone all right! PATHETIC!!!
