| | | | | Dennis Kucinich - Is social security under attack? | COLUMBUS, OH -- Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, the son of a Teamster truck driver more...and the oldest child in a paycheck-to-paycheck family of seven children, brought his life's experiences and his legislative record to an AFL-CIO town hall meeting in Columbus (OH) today and told his union brothers and sisters, "This campaign is about jobs. It's about jobs. And it's about jobs."
"It's the workers of this country who are going to determine who the president is going to be," the Cleveland Congressman told the cheering crowd. And that next President, he said, must be committed to creating new jobs, making health care available to all Americans, securing workers' rights and pension rights, and improving education for the next generation of American workers.
Introduced as "Ohio's favorite son," Kucinich, the only card-carrying union member in the Democratic field, had the audience on its feet several times. He vowed to cancel the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which has resulted in the out-sourcing of millions of American jobs. He promised a national, not-for-profit health insurance system that would cover all Americans. He pledged that the Justice Department and the Labor Department would enforce workers' rights, especially the right to organize.
His deep and sincere commitment to those issues and his legislative record separate him from the other Democratic candidates, Kucinich said.
"Do you think I could stand up here and talk like this if I was owned by Wall Street," Kucinich asked? "I'm someone who can not be bought. I'm someone who can not be bossed. I'm someone who can not be intimidated."
On health care, he said the other candidates "get too much money from the insurance companies, they can't break the hold." On foreign trade, other candidates are proposing to "fix" trade agreements, instead of scrapping them, and those promises are "weasel-wording" what they really plan to do: "nothing."
In a poignant story taken from his early years as a newspaper copyboy in Cleveland, Kucinich's eyes welled with tears, as did many in the audience, when he told of going to the homes of families to pick up photographs of their children who had died in the war in Vietnam. In vivid, emotional detail, he described their modest, working-class homes "and their hands...rough hands...like they had been working their whole lives...and just barely making it." He used the story to illustrate the personal impact that wars on the other side of the world have on families in Ohio and across the country. The war in Iraq, he said, must be brought to an end and America's service men and women must be brought home as soon as possible.
"You're looking at the only candidate to vote against the war and all of the appropriations" since, Kucinich said.
He added, "Ohio has the chance to be heard and change the election." As an Ohioan, "one of you," Kucinich said, "I'll never forget where I came from."

| | Saturday, July 14, 2007 at 12:27 AM | | SONOFABITCH! I've been trying for days to get Michael Moore's appearance on Larry King up in complete form (as well as a couple other videos), unsuccesfully. I had all but given up and started uploading it in smaller pieces, like I had to do with "Nineteen Eighty-Four". Then, suddenly, my last attempt at uploading the whole thing finally worked! It finally played ALL THE WAY THROUGH, from beginning to end! What The Fuck? LiveVideo is NOT liking my longer videos. I've noticed other people's videos more...crapping out within a few minutes, too. Well, I'll still leave up the seperated version, in four parts. But, the complete version finally works now! Enjoy! less | |
| Wednesday, July 4, 2007 at 10:28 PM | | MikeDamnNobody got suspended again, within days of being renewed. Shit! | |
| Saturday, June 30, 2007 at 6:19 PM | | Hey, my previous YouTube account, MikeDamnNobody, has been restored! After being a persistent pain in their ass, YouTube gave me back my account. My new YouTube account, MikeNobodyIsHere, will still be active. I haven't yet decided how to use two YouTube accounts, though. | |
| Monday, June 18, 2007 at 3:17 AM | | For those of you just now discovering, my YouTube account MikeDamnNobody was deleted due to copywrong hypocrisy and Muslim flagging wars. My new YouTube account is MikeNobodyIsHere. I will be uploading my old content from YouTube onto LiveVideo, since I already have a lot of them here.
I am not going to repost them on YouTube. But, I will make add videos there. I am trying to renew my YouTube subscriber base and reach 1,000 by New Year's (I hope it translates into more activity here on LiveVideo). | |
| Tuesday, April 24, 2007 at 3:11 PM | | I've been adding links to my videos on YouTube, Putfile, etc. instead of uploading everything twice. I want to have all my videos and audio files available from at least one location. I still can't get the link to my MySpace page to show up. Maybe someday I'll get this shit together, eh? | |

|  | DICK CHENEY ON LARRY KING JULY 31, 2007 (preview)
04:47
King's July 31 interview of Vice President Cheney dealt mostly with a number of political topics. A sample of the questions from the interview:
How more...do you deal with it when public opinion polls are stridently against the [Iraq] policy?
But in all cases, they did question themselves. In all cases, they said, well, let's look at it this way. Don't you? I mean the question is, don't you ever say, maybe I'm wrong?
In retrospect, you would still go into Iraq?
Does it pain you when Brent Scowcroft says this is not the Dick Cheney I knew?
Wouldn't you like to be liked?
OK, let's go back. On this program, May of 2005, you said the Iraqi insurgency was in the last throes. Why were you wrong?
In that same interview, you said that the Iraqis were well on their way to being able to defend themselves. Why not? Why are they gone?
To which branch of government do you belong? Are you executive or legislative, or both? We were a little confused over recent statements that you're not in either.
We have an op-ed piece by Walter Mondale, a former vice president, who held your job. And at that time, I guess, up to that time, he would be considered the most powerful vice president. He wrote that: "After 9/11, Cheney set out to create a largely independent power center in the Office of the Vice President. It was an unprecedented attempt not only to shape administration policy, but, alarmingly, to limit the policy options sent to the president."He also accused you of having "a near total aversion to the notion of accountability." How would you respond to that?
Don't you think this administration has also had its credibility problems?
Alberto Gonzales. Do you stand by him?
You're going to stand by him? No doubt about that?
In that regard, "The New York Times," which is -- as you said, it's not your favorite paper, reports it was you who dispatched Gonzales and Andy Card to then Attorney General John Ashcroft's hospital in 2004 to push Ashcroft to certify the president's intelligence gathering program. Was it you?
The "Scooter" Libby trial, did it pain you?
The Senate Judiciary Committee is subpoenaing Karl Rove in connection with the firing of federal prosecutors. Why shouldn't he appear?
But the public might say, what have you got to hide?
So he -- so he [Rove] will not appear?
General Powell says he would close Guantanamo yesterday. Would you?
You have to torture them when they're there?
How come in the past though there's been a question on that?
Have you ever said, "We support certain methods of physical harm"?
What is "enhanced" [referring to Cheney's line 'We support the ability of certain agencies of the federal government to have the capacity to use enhanced techniques for interrogation']?

Q In that regard, The New York Times -- which, as you said, is not your favorite -- reports it was you who dispatched Gonzales and Andy Card to then-Attorney more...General John Ashcroft's hospital in 2004 to push Ashcroft to certify the President's intelligence-gathering program. Was it you?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I don't recall -- first of all, I haven't seen the story. And I don't recall that I gave instructions to that effect.
Q That would be something you would recall.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I would think so. But certainly I was involved because I was a big advocate of the Terrorist Surveillance Program, and had been responsible and working with General Hayden and George Tenet to get it to the President for approval. By the time this occurred, it had already been approved about 12 times by the Department of Justice. There was nothing new about it.
Q So you didn't send them to get permission.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I don't recall that I was the one who sent them to the hospital. less

| | |  | Marcus Brigstock - Religion; Islam, Christianity, Judaism
07:21
Marcus Brigstocke (born 8 May 1973) is an English comedian and satirist who has worked extensively in stand-up comedy, television and radio.
One of the more...best-known jokes Brigstocke uses is an ironic commentary on the controversy regarding the influence of video games on children:
“ If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music. „
This joke is frequently quoted on the internet and often attributed to famous figures in electronics (such as an apocryphal CEO of Nintendo, "Kristian Wilson," although Hiroshi Yamauchi held that position from 1950 to 2002), but Brigstocke vehemently claims authorship of the joke:
“ Ah! Bloody Pacman....It is my joke. I wrote it, then I took the rest of the day off as I was so chuffed with it. I am gutted that it has been claimed and passed around by so many people. Intellectual property law will not save me, the false claims will continue until I am man enough to give it all up. All I can say is -- it seems that it is very unlikely that it was written by a Nintendo employee in 1989, being as Pac Man was still around and not much of a childhood memory, there were very few claims that gaming influenced children's behaviour, and that the wording of it is identical to how it has been delivered in my stand up routine for 6 years! For those that are interested it has also been attributed to Bill Gates, but then so has Windows! Bitter? Well perhaps just a little. It was sent to me by someone at Channel 4 a few years back after I did it on Channel 4 in a late night stand up show! Hope that clears everything up. ”
