At least some Khazaks are learning that "Any publicity can be good publicity". But if they can quickly follow-up with a documentary on their country showing its best and prettiest, it may also be worth a lot of tourism dollars.

Beg to differ -- the joke's on Europe. They can titter at a backward muslim being outrageous in the U.S. when the fact is there are millions of not-so-cute and funny backward muslims milling around their shithole postage stamp countries.

Don't know much about this movie, but I caught about a minute of Mr. Cohen's Borat character on Conan O'Brian. It was painful to watch, audience reacting to him like a skunk walked on the set, and I flipped the channel. Welcome to America's 15 minute of fame, Mr. Cohen. Be sure to leave before your visa expires.

I saw him on a FOX morning show. I couldn't turn the channel and it was really painful to watch. Fake smiles and laughs from the FOX duo.
At that time, I didn't know the show was such a bomb but he totally bombed on that show. He was trying to be funny, but he was just uncomfortably annoying.
On Saturday, Allen supporters formed a human wall to block Stark's access to the senator, who is in a tight election race with Democrat Jim Webb. As Stark tried to sidestep the wall, he brushed the side of a supporter, who fell. A deputy sheriff grabbed Stark, put his arm behind his back and led him away to the cheers of about 100 Allen supporters.
"I'll own this town," Stark, a first-year University of Virginia law student, was overheard telling sheriff's deputies as he was led away from the rally at Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport.
On Tuesday, Stark was put in a chokehold and slammed to the floor by three Allen supporters in Charlottesville in an incident captured on video. Witnesses said Stark approached Allen, loudly asking, "Why did you spit at your first wife, George?" in an attempt to ask Allen about his legal history.
Albemarle County records show Allen received two summonses in 1974, but supporting documents were destroyed long ago. Allen has said the offenses were for fishing without a license and unpaid parking tickets.
Allen's ex-wife, Anne Waddell, later issued a statement calling Stark's question "a baseless, cheap shot."
Hey Kos, send more and we'll win by a a landslide! Stupid hateful little *ssholes. Vote Democrat and you get Kos and the hateful Nutroots as a free gift!

Fasten seatbelts, folks. It's going to be a rocky couple of years.
We have allowed and abetted this sort of destructive behavior ever since the late 60's and we are paying the price now. But if we don't push back HARD, we will lose to them. Time to make your voice heard loud and clear.

If the pattern of the left show anything and Tuesday they're shut out again from power, don't be surprised that in the atmosphere of hate and loathing they and their enablers in MSM generate, that Dick Chaney will be completing the 2008 year as president. The Zero Year curse is still in play.
HELENA - After months of campaigning and millions of dollars of advertising, it all comes down to this: Republican Sen. Conrad Burns and Democratic challenger Jon Tester are running dead even, a new Gazette State Poll shows.
A telephone poll of 625 registered and likely Montana voters shows each man favored by 47 percent of respondents. Five percent of the voters are undecided, while Libertar-ian Stan Jones was the pick of 1 percent. The poll was taken from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research of Washington, D.C, for the Gazette State Bureau. It has a margin of error of plus- or minus-4 percentage points.

Now add in the effect of "hidden Republicans" in most pools, and the emphasis on Mail-In ballots...
This may not be a seat they take - Montana is coming to its senses. Its pissed, but not so pissed that it will throw in with a Kos type liberal loon (Tester shoudl realize that a Flattop haircut doesn't make him a conservative).

The democrats have a serious problem that they don't recognize. It is that many Republicans, Independents and Democrats, are not going to vote for democratic candidates that they might have voted for in another election.
I'm going to vote a straight Republican ticket. I'm not asking around or even concerned about who I am voting for. That others will be doing the same is going to have a huge impact on this election.
Many people who would have voted for Burns or similar candidates will be so disgusted with Democrats in general and with the concept of a Nancy Pelosi/Murtha/Waxman alliance, that they will be doing the same.
Vice President Dick Cheney defended the Bush Administration's policy on Iraq, took a few jabs at Democrats - including John Kerry - and predicted a Republican sweep in Idaho on Election Day.
The speech to Republican faithfuls took place inside an airport hangar. The Vice President stepped off Air Force two shortly after 5 p.m. He walked down the plane's steps and into a black limonene, which carted him through the freezing rain to the airport hangar. Who is that man signing that picture?

And from different sources, I've read, all folks in pic have a Bachelors degree, two have additional Masters degrees, and one may be USMA graduate! Hehe

Just a little side note: the people in the pic are Minnesota National Guard. According to the mainstream media meme, all the National Guard troops are pissy because they've been hoovered up by the evil Bushitler-Chainey war machine and forced to go to Iraq. I bet it bugs the hell out of the media guys when people don't play along with The Narrative.

"According to the mainstream media meme, all the National Guard troops are pissy because they've been hoovered up by the evil Bushitler-Chainey war machine and forced to go to Iraq."
False dilemma, of course. (g) They could be mad at having to go to Iraq, but, as Austin Bay put it so well, they're even madder at Kerry for his evil, anti-military bigotry.

how long has the war been going on v/s an enlistment period and whatever the officers call it? Isn't just about everyone who is serving now someone who could have gotten out if they didn't want to fight in Iraq?
U.S. Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, D-Conn., reiterated his support for faith-based initiatives Thursday as he spoke outside the Second Star of Jacob Christian Church in New Haven and accepted the endorsement of a statewide group of Latino ministers.
Abraham Hernandez, a spokesman for the group, said the ministers, as leaders in their community, "recognized him (Lieberman) as an integral, compassionate, experienced and, above all, a serious man that believes in the value of the family."
Lieberman, who interspersed his press conference with Biblical quotes in Hebrew and Spanish, said it was difficult in campaigns to talk about the relationship of church and state, but said America has found the right balance between the two. "I think anyone who tries to separate faith and God from America is trying to do something unusual. It is the source of our strength, even as we respect the diversity of ways people approach God," he told the group.
Can't imagine another national Democrat saying anything like that.
For those reasons, Lieberman said, he tries "to find constitutionally-based ways for the government to support faith-based initiatives."
Hernandez said the ministers were impressed by Liebermans immigration proposals and his stance against gay marriage, but mainly his experience. "We do not have the luxury of allowing an unknown novice to remove an experienced person who currently occupies such a vital position," he said.
Hernandez said the group also believes the country cant afford to "cut and run" in Iraq. Lieberman said servicemen he has met tell him Iraqis want U.S. troops there, and said retreating would not only be a "disaster," but "would dishonor the service and sacrifice" of the military.
