Clinton blasts 9/11 film, amid report of changes
Spin, spin, spin, you worthless gladhanding used car salesman. Your accomodationist, anything to avoid confrontation policy are more responsible for 9/11 than any other single cause. Your unwillingness to face any political controversy caused you to turn down Sudan when they offered the US custody of Bin Ladin, as well as other opportunities you were given to take him down but didn't have the political guts to take advantage of (unlike the successor in office now, who has had the intestinal fortitude to do much harder things and had to do more of them because Clinton didn't).
Your entire career has been spent evading the responsibility of the presidency that you campaigned to get. Go away. Far away. And don't come back.
Rightwing Nuthouse notes the crickets chirping about a real threat of censorship. The Democratic party want to demand that the government pull ABC broadcast license if they show the film? I guess it's all in who you tick off. It's okay to poke at Elephants, but Donkeys are sacrosanct? Free Speech for me but not for thee, is that your message? Not in the United States I live in.
Riehl World View on people that have changed their views now that their side is under the microscope.
Rhymes with Right has the text of a letter sent to Disney by prominent Democratic politicians. Manages to implicitly threaten ABCs broadcast license.
Investors Business Daily on the issue.
Captain's Quarters nails the Clinton colors to the mast of this particular sinking ship.
Scrappleface details the situation that must be avoided.
Newsbusters notes that ABC has caved. That particular scene never happened in the real world. But many things like it did, thanks to Bill Clinton. I wonder if we should revive the Dan Rather mantra of "fake but accurate"?
No. Those memos were neither true nor accurate.
Reuters is reporting the Democratic spin on a Senate report. There have been many reports of Iraq/Al Qaeda cooperation, as the senate report says. But that doesn't stop the Donkeys from spinning it by claiming it says what they want it to. But at least they do acknowledge that there may be another take on the matter:
The committee's Republican chairman, Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas, accused Democrats of presenting a misleading version of the committee's findings.
"The additional views of the Committee's Democrats are little more than a rehashing of the same unfounded allegations they've used for over three years," Roberts said in a statement.
Strata-Sphere has more.
Hospital Screening Surgery Patients for Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by episodes of stopped breathing during sleep.
Normally, low levels of oxygen and high levels of carbon dioxide in the blood arouse the sleeper with apnea.
But an anesthetic, or powerful pain medicine after surgery may interfere with the protective mechanism and prevent the person from waking up, resulting in respiratory arrest
You think this might be an issue? If you suffer from sleep apnea, make sure everybody knows before you go under. Put it in writing in the admission papers, and tell the members of your surgical team. If you think you might be suffering from it, get tested. I did, and my life is much better now.
ROFASix notes another story the press has gotten wrong.
But if you're looking for partisan advantage, the fact that lies travel around the world faster than the truth can get its boots on has its own special appeal. People will remember the newspaper headlines, and never find out the truth of what the President said.
Iraq The Model has a post on the conflict that is worth reading.

- Day by Day It is site policy to list the main page of every site I reference. Sometimes the real world intervenes and I haven't gotten to it yet, or one falls through the cracks on a long post with multiple references. It is also site policy to list the main page of every site that lists this one on their equivalent roll, as well as the main page of all sites that are members of any of the same groups this site is a member of. Please send me an email with a link to the main page of your site if I've overlooked you (dm at the domain name). For the clue-challenged, note that it is a requirement for your link to appear on every page of your site, just like mine does, and I will not link to spam sites.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
