A good idea.

Will all of these be available? Or are you going to cull the ones you guys don't like? Also, I'm a little offended that you don't allow cursing. Sometimes the emphasis from these terms is essential to expression, and by censoring them, your neuter personal expression.

I don't know that this can provide consensus of any kind though. Debate is essential to solving our problems right now, and NPR isn't providing the right debate.

Tom, methinks you have to make this process a little more accessible if it is to work. I'm not sure I want to give up administrative access to get adobe flash macromedia.....methinks there are some tech problems involved here?

Richard Perle talking about someone else taking a "reckless course of action" against advice to the contrary, isn't that the height of hypocrisy?

I discuss the NPR-produced Munoz entry here:

Her entry is highly misleading, and NPR spent public money bringing it to us without providing the opposing viewpoint. Who do I contact about the funding you received for this?

Yes, now that 'Girls Gone Wild' video producer Joe Francis has been freed after eleven months of illegal incarceration in a Florida jail.....

.....I am sending Mr. Francis an outline for a series of videos called 'Michael Moore/Barack Obama Liberal Utopians Gone Wild.'

And you don't have to be eighteen to act in these vidoes....cause most of the Liberal Utopians haven't reached eighteen as of yet.

In fact, I'd like to see Barack Obama's birth certificate.

PS....If I might suggest some videos

On Youtube:
Don't Think Of A Black Man
David Pompeii Marc Warzecha The title of the video refers to George Lakoff's "Don't Think Of An Elephant," a remarkable book that describes how linguistic Geraldine Ferraro???usually a class act???made recent statements that seem to establish a pattern:

ON Esquire.com:
The Five Most Vicious Political Attack Ads
When politicians get desperate, the claws come out. Just like animals -- only a lot less civil.

On Sixty Minutes:
The Ray Gun ...on 60 Minutes; Exclusive Video Only on Yahoo! News

And can we have a moment's silence for Mary Ann:
'Gilligan's' Mary Ann Allegedly Caught With Pot'
DRIGGS, Idaho -- Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island," is serving six months' unsupervised probation after allegedly being caught with marijuana in her car.

Okay, this video was sent to me for comment. It's a video questioning why Eliot Spitzer was politically assassinated.

My take on this is that Jerry Springer is the only politician I know of who got away with paying for a prostitute with a personal check. In fact, Jerry Springer is the only politician I know
of who actually benefited for having paid for a prostitute with a personal check.

The sad truth is, for normal politicians, like Spitzer or the Gay
Evangelist Ted Haggard, paying for a prositute by check is not a good
idea. No matter what political stand taken.

But, I will pass this around, let other people view the video, let
other people make up their own minds.

I don't know what it is about today, but people are sending me all kinds of videos.

Go with the flow.

This is some advice for Liberal Utopians. Gore Vidal has all kinds of political essays. Read all of them. Read his books while you are at it.

Maybe some day, with enough reading, you can become thinking liberals.

But, you won't take my advice. Because you are Liberal Utopians constantly following a white rabbit down a hole.

So, watch this video interview of Gore Vidal talking about television journalism.

Hey, I don't know what your NPR tech team did since yesterday, but this thing now works on my puter.

Thanks. Film is a love of mine. Yes, I know it's CDs and called videos, but in the language it will always be called filmmaking and film.

Okay, much has been made about redoing the vote via mail in ballot.

Here's a couple of videos studying the concept.

The videos tend to suggest that the mail-in voting idea presented by Howard Dean and the DNC could have been totally fraught with inconsistencies.

Which, possibly, is why Florida passed on the idea. Regardless of who paid for the mail-in redo.

The video below provides bits of the backstory for our discovery of a
potentially devastating method of rigging MAIL IN VOTES, AUDITS and
RECOUNTS. Black Box Voting is currently doing proof of concept testing on
our "Theory of a crime" and will release details next week on how it's
done, so that preventive measures can be put in before November. We'll
see how the ballots and the special "optical scan marking pens" being
sold by vendors actually perform in our tests. Any information you can
provide on the specific paper stock and especially, the paper coatings
used by ballot printers will be much appreciated right now.

Information leading up to this discovery came from a frame-by-frame
analysis of video, including these:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txoLlfrBENk (pay close attention to the
last segment)
and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOESAfrPSKI

We believe it is possible to undetectably alter thousands -- possibly
tens of thousands -- of paper ballots, using a technique known as "check
washing."

Now that your tech team has done whatever it is they did, and I can get involved in this project, I plan to talk about Kinky Friedman's video in the near future.

But, first, I want to talk about McCarthyism.

Cause that's what Gen. McPeak apparently accused former President Bill Clinton of being: a McCarthyite.

Well, an Obama aide accusing Bill Clinton of being 'Tailgunner Joe' should come as no surprise. In fact, by the time this feud between Obama and Hillary is over, Democrats might accusing Democrats of being Neocons.

And I wouldn't be surprised, given the tenor of the Democratic Party's platform.

All the same, before I get to Kinky Friedman's video about capital punishment, I think it's time to review the controversy of Gen. McPeak's accusation that President Bill Clinton is a McCarthyite.

Here is the video. So, watch it, make your own decisions and get out there to vote.

And I'd like to add that I believe that adding this video project to the conversation is an excellent way to escape the histrionics of Liberal Utopian typing....and eggregiously bad typing, at that.

Let the film do the talking. You make the decision for yourself.

PS...I'm a bit disappointed that the Liberal Utopians aren't taking advantage of using this project.

As a general rule of thumb, however, if you thought of New York as a Negro talking to himself and of California as a VCR with nothing to put in, you wouldn???t be too far off the mark.??????? Kinky Friedman???? (1993)?? ???A Case of Lone Star.]?? Wings Books. P. 379
??
Mamas don???t let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Make them doctors and lawyers and such. Or make them readers of Kinky Friedman???s many books.

Now that the NPR tech team, whomever they are, whatever they did, finally figured out how I can participate in this project (mainly, prior to this, the videos would not work on my ???puter???.now they do???voila!) I look forward to tackle the two subjects of?? Richard Perl???s ???More Realism Discussing Iraq??? and Kinky Friedman???s ???Abolish the Death Penalty.???
??
In fact, I think I can connect the dots between the two subjects. Being that killing a human being is a wide ranging, if not enthralling topic that has made box office bonanza for years. The morality, or immorality of taking another life has been tackled by philosophers much older than Plato and Socrates. Still, it???s a reality that scares Liberal Utopians into believing that 9/11 was perpetrated by the American CIA. Simply because Liberal Utopians are too afraid of the realities of the world. It???s called protective denial.
??
In the same book, ???A Case of Lone Star,??? Kinky wrote that, ???If you???re paranoid long enough, sooner or later you???re gon???na be right.???
??
So, I foresee this project as being able to open up on politics, rather than pursuing more of the Little Red Book rambling of the Liberal Utopians who???ve wandered over from bankrupt Air America Radio to roost (pardon the pun) here in NPR. And I make a prediction that after the election, the thoroughly demoralized Liberal Utopians will be skulking away from NPR (go gawd knows where who???d accept them), and NPR will be looking at journalism that fits liberals and moderates and conservatives. The Liberal Utopians and the Neocons maybe will go off together to buy their own radio station.
??
Okay, I said I???d say something about Kinky Friedman, ergo, Kinky gets the nod before Richard Perl. Here goes some voting thoughts about Kinky???s stand against the death penalty. Not that I???ve heard any of the candidates make much of a plea one way or the other on the subject. But, let???s pretend that the death penalty is one the minds of voters, somewhere.
??
My story, for the nonce, goes back to Texas, circa 1998, when George Bush was running for re-election as governor of Texas, to become president in 2000. Texans who voted for George Bush???s re-election suffered no illusions that George wouldn???t finish the gubernatorial term. They were happy to see him go live in the White House with his twin daughters.
??
Around that time, the pick-ax???serial-killer-turned-born-again-Christian Karla Faye Tucker was awaiting execution on Texas???s death row, in Huntsville. Before 1923, the law in Texas was that each county was responsible for carrying out its own executions by hanging. After 1923, things got more orderly and the electric chair was installed in Huntsville.
??
Back then, circa 1998, I was dating this lady whose mother worked as a psychologist for the Texas prison system. Her mother???s responsibilities included psychologically testing death row inmates to determine if they were not only guilty, but that they were sand. You see, in Texas, you can???t be executed if you are insane. Which didn???t exactly make sense to me. How sane is a serial killer to begin with?
??
Anyway, as you can see, the topic of death row sanity, or lack of sanity, can become a rather extensive political topic that requires some serialization.
So, here is my video offering for this portion: an introduction to Karla Faye Tucker, the woman who found salvation and redemption on Texas???s death row (and I just noticed that in the title of this video, they misspelled Journey). But it???s a touching revelation from the words of the brother of one of Karla Faye???s pick-axed victims.

Step by Step A Jounrey of Hope: Ron Carlson
Ron Carlson's sister, Deborah Ruth Carlson Davis Thornton, and Jerry Lynn Dean were murdered with a pick ax by Karla Faye Tucker and Daniel Ryan Garrett on June 13, 1983.
