Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 74 (64 kbps .mp3 5.57 2.9 Mb) A daily roundup of things that seemed important. If our life was a movie, it'd be "Krull." THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW FOR FRIDAY, MARCH TWENTY-THIRD, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070322/pl_nm/edwards_dc DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOHN EDWARDS WILL CONTINUE IN THE RACE DESPITE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THURSDAY THAT HIS WIFE, ELIZABETH, IS ONCE AGAIN BATTLING CANCER. FROM THE ARTICLE: "The campaign goes on. The campaign goes on strongly," SAID Edwards, a former senator from North Carolina and the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee, at a news conference in his hometown. "The bottom line is her cancer is back. We are very optimistic about this because, having been through some struggles together in the past, we know, the key is to keep your head up," he said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070322/ap_on_hi_te/internet_blocking A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS STRUCK DOWN A 1998 LAW REQUIRING WEB SITE OWNERS PRESENTING MATERIAL WHICH MAY HARM MINORS TO BLOCK ACCESS BY REQUIRING A CREDIT CARD NUMBER. ACCORDING TO THE ARTICLE, THE PHLADELPHIA DISTRICT COURT JUDGE said parents can protect their children through software filters and other less restrictive means that do not limit the rights of others to free speech. "Perhaps we do the minors of this country harm if First Amendment protections, which they will -- with age inherit fully,-- are chipped away in the name of their protection," wrote Senior U.S. District Judge Lowell Reed Jr., who presided over a four-week trial last fall. OUR EDITOR, MOJO, SAYS "CHALK ONE UP FOR SANITY AND FREE SPEECH." THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW! http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Iglesias_Why_I_was_fired_0321.html ONE OF THE EIGHT U.S. ATTORNEYS FORCED TO RESIGN BY THE WHITE HOUSE UNDER QUESTIONABLE CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH MAY INVOLVE POLITICS -- David Iglesias' -- PUBLISHED AN OPINION PIECE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES WEDNESDAY. HIS POSITION, SUCCINTLY PUT, IS THAT HE'D LIKE EMBATTLED ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO GONZALES TO STOP LYING AND RESTORE THE FORMER NEW YORK FEDERAL PROSECUTOR'S GOOD NAME. FROM A RAW STORY ARTICLE: Iglesias ends his op-ed expressing gratitude for President Bush's appreciation of his service, which he stated during a White House address TUESDAY, but added that "only a written retraction by the Justice Department setting the record straight regarding my performance would settle the issue for me." AND I DO AGREE THAT really should be the minimum that scumbag Gonzo should do, is reverse his libel of good attorneys. ACCORDING TO A RAW STORY ARTICLE, IGLESIAS WROTE IN HIS NEW YORK TIMES PIECE ABOUT THE phone calls he received from top New Mexico REPUBLICAN lawmakers, Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM), during which he was inappropriately pressed for information regarding "a politically charged corruption case." "A few weeks after those phone calls, my name was added to a list of United States attorneys who would be asked to resign," wrote Iglesias, "even though I had excellent office evaluations, the biggest political corruption prosecutions in New Mexico history, a record number of overall prosecutions and a 95 percent conviction rate."... http://rawstory.com/news/2007/House_Committee_Well_avoid_Attorneys_showdown_0322.html RAW STORY ALSO REPORED, IN AN EXCLUSIVE THAT Rep. Linda Snchez -- THE the Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law, -- which is leading the House Judiciary Committee's investigation -- OF THE U.S. ATTORNEY FIRINGS -- IS SEEKING TO AVOID A SHOWDOWN WITH THE WHITE HOUSE. PRESIDENT BUSH HAS OFFERED THAT STAFF MEMBERS -- INCLUDING POLITICAL ADVISOR KARL ROVE AND FORMER PRESIDENTIAL ATTORNEY HARRIET MIERS -- MEET CONGRESSMEN OFF THE RECORD, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS TO AVOID WHAT HE CALLS A "SHOW TRAIL." AS OF PRESS TIME, BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE HAVE APPROVED FORCING THEM TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE BY SUBPOENA. A SPOKESPERSON FOR REPRESENTATIVE SANCHEZ, HOWEVER, IS QUOTED BY RAW STORY AS SAYING: "Rep. Snchez and the House Judiciary Committee are carefully proceeding in good faith with the Bush administration to produce relevant documents and witnesses on a voluntary basis, and avoiding a more contentious showdown, if it's possible," MY OPINION: HERE'S HOPING THIS IS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS POLITICIANS SAY, AND NOT A SIGN OF A WEAKENING OF THE DEMOCRATS' RESOLVE. BECAUSE IF THEY BOTCH THIS AND WE DON'T GET OUR SHOW TRAIL, IF WE DON'T GET TO SEE THAT EVIL SHIT ROVE ON OUR TVS SWEATING AND LYING UNDER OATH, THEN WE MIGHT AS WELL BOARD UP THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTTEE HEADQUARTERS AND VOTE BULL MOOSE, OR WHIG, OR FOR SOME OTHER DEAD PARTY, LIKE THE GREENS.

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 72 (64 kbps .mp3 8:19 4.0 Mb) A daily roundup of things that seemed important. The bamboo shoot under your Lee Press-On nail. THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW FOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH TWENTy-FIRST, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN. A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT. http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Conyers_Sanchez_to_seek_subpoenas_of_0320.html IT'S STARTING TO SMELL LIKE THE SUMMER OF 1973 AGAIN. THAT'S THE LAST TIME I CAN REMEMBER A PRESIDENT TELLING THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE TO EAT SHIT AND DIE. ON TUESDAY, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) and Subcommittee Chairwoman Linda Sanchez called a meeting to authorize subpoenas for five current and former White House and Justice Department officials this morning, ACCORDING TO RAW STORY. AMONG THE OFFICIALS TO BE CALLED WOULD BE KARL ROVE AND FORMER PRESIDENTIAL COUNSEL HARRIET MIERS. http://rawstory.com/news/2007/New_York_Times_slams_Bushs_nasty_0321.html THE RESPONSE FROM PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH, ACCORDING TO A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORIAL, WAS QUOTE nasty and bumbling UNQUOTE. BUSH OFFERED DEMOCRATIC LEADERS A MEETING, OFF THE RECORD, IN PRIVATE, WITHOUT BEING SWORN IN, BETWEEN ROVE, MIERS AND HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070320/ap_on_go_pr_wh/fired_prosecutors Bush, in a late-afternoon statement at the White House, said, "We will not go along with a partisan fishing expedition aimed at honorable public servants. ... I have proposed a reasonable way to avoid an impasse." POOR MOJO NEWSWIRE EDITOR MOJO SAYS: For the record a "fishing expedition" is when you think someone may have done something wrong, and so you poke through all of their files and information looking for a way to bust them. When you *know* someone has committed crimes and demand access to them and their records, it's called "discovery." FROM THE TIMES EDITORIAL: President Bush declared that 'people just need to hear the truth' about the firing of eight United States attorneys. That's right. Unfortunately, the deal Mr. Bush offered Congress to make White House officials available for 'interviews' did not come close to meeting that standard." THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW! http://feministing.com/archives/006716.html THE MOST EXCELLENT BLOG ON MATTERS FOR WOMEN AND OTHER HUMAN BEINGS, FEMINISTING, REPORTS THAT THE GOVERNOR OF MISSOURI WANTS WOMEN TO DIE OF CERVICAL CANCER. THAT CAN BE THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR THIS BONE-STUPID IDEA: QUOTING BELLEVILLE DOT COM: Missouri Republican Governor Matt Blunt recently announced he's slashing funding for Planned Parenthood clinics that provide free cervical cancer and other health screenings to poor women in the state. "Patients should not have to go to an abortion clinic to access lifesaving tests," Blunt said in a written statement. Except for the fact that the affected clinics don't even provide abortions. They do, however, provide cervical and breast cancer screenings -- about 1,500 a year -- paid for under the Show Me Healthy Women program. This just drives home the point that, even though anti-choicers love to characterize Planned Parenthood as an abortion provider only, their clinics primarily provide other types of reproductive and women's health care. http://www.rawstory.com/showoutarticle.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.coloradoconfidential.com%2FshowDiary.do%3FdiaryId%3D1646 WE'LL PROBABLY SEE MUCH MORE OF THIS SORT OF GRIEF DRING THE NEXT TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OR SO OF THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ. YOU SEE, THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE START OF THE OCCUPATION AND SAINT PATRICK'S DAY ARE UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE IN THE CALENDAR. AND IF YOU'RE AN ELDERLY PEACE ACTIVIST AND ARE THINKING OF ENTERING YOUR LOCAL SAINT PADDY'S PARADE TO SPREAD THE WORD OF REISISTANCE, RETHINK. COLORADO SPRINGS POLICE, ACCORDING TO THE COLORADO CONFIDENTIAL BLOG, SPENT THE LAST PART OF THAT TOWN'S PARADE SATURDAY DRAGGING 65 YEAR OLD ELIZABETH FINERON OUT OF HER BOOKMOBILE IN THE PARADE AND DRAGGING HER DOWN THE STREET. ERIC VERLO, A LOCAL BUSINESSMAN, WAS HELD FACE-DOWN ON THE PAVEMENT AND HANDCUFFED AS CHILDREN WHO WERE PART OF HIS GROUP SCREAMED AND CRIED. One cop kneed a woman in the groin as she lay on the ground. Another broke a wooden peace sign that one of the participants had been carrying. One photo shows a cop with his arm around the neck of a retired priest, Frank Cordaro, in an apparent chokehold. In another shot a cop hoists a Taser...."Peace was too controversial for the parade," said Jim White, the interim director of the PPJPC and the retired pastor at Colorado Springs' First Congregational Church. "It was clearly police brutality. The people I talked to just couldn't believe what happened." http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Kristof_US_should_stop_biting_tongue_0317.html NEW YORK TIMES COLUMNIST Nicholas D. Kristof WROTE IN A COLUMN SUNDAY THAT THE UNITED STATES SHOLD STOP BITING ITS TOUNGE WHEN IT COMES TO ISRAEL. FROM THE COLUMN AS DESCRIBED BY RAW STORY DOT COM: ."Democrats are railing at just about everything President Bush does, with one prominent exception: Bush's crushing embrace of Israel," Kristof writes. And since "[t]here is no serious political debate among either Democrats or Republicans about our policy toward Israelis and Palestinians," Kristof believes, the "silence harms America, Middle East peace prospects and Israel itself." "Within Israel, you hear vitriolic debates in politics and the news media about the use of force and the occupation of Palestinian territories," Kristof notes. "Yet no major American candidate is willing today to be half as critical of hard-line Israeli government policies as, say, Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper.

For more than a million, they could end in foreclosure, according to a study released Monday. FROM THE S-F GATE ARTICLE: Americans borrowed $2.2 trillion from 2004 through 2006 in the form of adjustable loans, which start with low monthly payments that reset to higher rates. As those loans reset, 1.11 million people will lose their homes, according the study by First American CoreLogic, a firm that tracks mortgage risk for the financial services industry. The figure is significantly less than a widely published number from the Center for Responsible Lending. http://thinkprogress.org/2007/03/20/katrina-amendment-race/ WHITE REPUBLICAN U-S REPRESENTATIVE Jeb Hensarling, chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, introduced an amendment that would require victims of Hurricane Katrina to perform 20 hours/week of approved "work activities" to receive financial aid for housing, ACCORDING TO THINK PROGRESS DOT ORG. AND HERE'S GEORGIA DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE DAVID SCOTT -- A BLACK MAN -- CALLING BULLSHIT ON HENSARLING FROM THE HOUSE FLOOR: This amendment is cruel, it is cold, it is calculating, and it is pandering to the schizophrenic dichotomy that has plagued this nation since they first brought Africans on these shores from Africa. And that is the issue of race and poverty. Let me tell you something, gentleman. Where were you, where was your amendment when the Twin Towers were hit and the people in New york suffered that catastrophe? There was no cry before we gave them help. "They got to go get a job." Everybody was there and poured in help, as they should, the American way. Where was your amendment down in Florida when the hurricanes hit down there? Nobody said, "Make 'em work before we help them." . ## C L O S E R ## OUR THEME SONG IS AN UNTITLED PIECE FROM THE DISC "HIMNO NASIONAL" BY THE FIGURES, AVAILABLE AT FINGERPRINT DASH RECORDS DOT COM.

Poor Mojo's News Show Podcast No. 71 (64 kbps .mp3 8:41 4.0 Mb) A daily roundup of things that seemed important. To his mind, an opportunity to insult a successful ape came from the hand of Providence. THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW FOR MONDAY, MARCH NINTEENTH, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN. A DAILY ROUNDUP OF THINGS THAT SEEMED IMPORTANT. http://rawstory.com/news/2007/I_worked_as_covert_officer_for_0316.html GIVING SWORN TESTIMONY at a House of Representatives HEARING FRIDAY MORNING, FORMER UNDERCOVER CIA NON-OFFICIAL COVER OPERATIVE VALARIE Plame said that her "name and identity were carelessly and recklessly abused by senior officials in the White House and State Department." ACCORDING TO RAW STORY DOT COM, SHE TESTIFIED BEFORE THE House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Opening the hearing, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) said, "It's not our job to determine criminal culpability, but it is our job to determine what went wrong and insist on accountability." ALSO DAMAGED WHEN PLAME WAS OUTED WAS THE CIA BRASS-PLATE FRONT COMPANY PLAME HELPED BUILD, BREWSTER JENNINGS, WHICH WAS USED TO KEEP TRACK OF DEVLEOPMENTS IN NUCLEAR ENERGY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. IT IS UNKNOWN HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO WORKED WITH BREWSTER JENNINGS OUTSIDE THE USA WERE PUT IN HARMS WAY WHEN FORMER VICE-PRESIDENTIAL CHIEF OF STAFF I. LEWIS SCOOTER LIBBY, WHITE HOUSE POLITICAL ADVISOR KARL ROVE, COLUMNIST ROBERT NOVAK AND VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER OUTED PLAME AS A CIA UNDERCOVER AGENT TO PUNISH HER HUSBAND, FORMER AMBASSADOR JOSEPH WILSON. WILSON WROTE AN NEW YORK TIMES OPINION PIECE IN 2003 REFUTING THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION'S CLAIM THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN HAD SOUGHT URANIUM FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN THE AFRICAN COUNTRY OF NIGER. During its coverage of the hearing, Fox News Channel cut down the sound to feature commentary by Novak who labeled Plame's contention that she was a "covert operator" as "absurd." Novak also brought up Plame's political contributions to the Democratic Party, to imply that she was partisan. http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/03/16/white-house-security-chief-reveals-no-probe-of-plame-leak-there/ LATER FRIDAY AT THE SAME HOUSE HEARING, James Knodell, director of the Office of Security at the White House, told a congressional committee today that he was aware of no internal investigation or report into the leak of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame. THIS ACCORDING TO EDITOR AND PUBLISHER, VIA CROOKS AND LIARS. Rep. Waxman recalled that President Bush had promised a full internal probe. Knodell repeated that no probe took place, as far as he knew, and was not happening today. Rep. Waxman at one point said that he regretted not being able to put up a video of the president promising a full probe but added, "I guess we will leave that to The Daily Show." http://www.poormojo.org/pmjadaily/archives/was%20willing%20to%20defer%20to%20Rove%20on%20the%20matter MORE AND DIFFERENT ON THE WHITE-HOUSE BEAT... POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE CONTRIBUTOR JIM POINTS OUT THAT A FAMILIAR NAME APPEARS TO BE AT THE CENTER OF THE SCANDAL IN WHICH EIGHT BUSH-APPOINTED UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS WERE FIRED, APPARENTLY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T PROSECUTE DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS FIERCELY ENOUGH. JIM SAYS: THE HEADLINE READS: Justice Dept. was "was willing to defer to Rove on the matter" FIRING THE U-S ATTORNEYS Yeah... it's the Karl Rove you're thinking of. The one who's never been a lawyer, never been to law school and who increasingly looks like he'll be doing more and more courtroom interacting as a defendant. FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES: White House political adviser Karl Rove more than two years ago began seeking input from the Department of Justice into how many U.S. attorneys should be fired in the second Bush administration, according to new e-mails released Thursday that show a deeper White House involvement in the firings of federal prosecutors last year. THIS IS POOR MOJO'S NEWS SHOW! http://www.10zenmonkeys.com/2007/03/14/michael-crook-settlement-apology/ DO YOU KNOW MICHAEL CROOK? YOU MAY KNOW HIM AS A HOLOCAUST DENIER.

BASCIALLY, HE'S A GUY WHO WILL DO OR SAY MOST ANY ANNOYING, NASTY THING TO GET THE NEGATIVE ATTENTION IN HIS LIFE THAT REPLACES THE LOVE HE WILL NEVER, EVER RECEIVE. THE TEN ZEN MONKIES BLOG, AND MANY OTHERS AFTER, POSTED A SCREEN SHOT OF CROOK ON FOXS NEWS BEING A DIPSHIT -- AND POOR MOJO'S NEWSWIRE DID TOO, SEEING THAT THERE'S ALWAYS TIME AND SPACE TO WARN THE WORLD OF A DIPSHIT. CROOK, IN RETALIATION, FILED DIGITAL MILLENIUM COPYRIGHT ACT TAKE-DOWN NOTICES WITH MANY INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS DEMANDING THAT THE IMAGE OF HIM ON FOX NEWS BE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED FROM THOSE PAGES. IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, GETTING ONE OF THESE TAKEDOWN NOTICES IS VERY BAD, AND CAN GET A SITE KICKED OFF ITS HOSTING. WHEN POOR MOJO'S ALMANAC(K) GOT OUR NOTICE, WE COMPLIED IMMEDIATELY, WHILE RESPONDING THAT CROOK HAD NO COPYRIGHT INTEREST IN A PICTURE OF HIM FROM FOX NEWS WHICH, BY THE WAY, SAID IN WRITING IT DIDN'T CARE HOW MANY SITES PUT UP THE SCREEN-SHOT IMAGE OF MR. DIPSHIT. WE ALSO REPLACED THE IMAGE WITH A PICTURE OF A DOGS ASS WEARING SUNGLASSES. AFTER GETTING SUED BY THE ELECTRONIC FREEDOM FOUNDATION FOR ABUSING THE TAKEDOWN PROVISIONS THE DMCA LAW, CROOK CAME TO SEE THAT HIS DIPSHITTEDNESS COULD END UP COSTING HIM MORE THAN HE THOUGHT -- 10 ZEN MONKEYS POINTED OUT THE EFF WON A SIX-FIGURE AWARD FROM DIEBOLD FOR DOING THE VERY SAME THING.

B-C-C NEWS REPORTS THAT ENVIRONMENTALISTS ARE UP IN ARMS OVER British Mediterranean Airways DECISION TO FLY EMPTY AIRPLANES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN HEATHROW AND CARDIFF SIX DAYS A WEEK SINCE OCTOBER BEFORE ONE TICKET COULD BE SOLD ON THE ROUTE. THE AIRLINE DID IT TO HOLD THE TAKE-OFF AND LANDING SLOTS, PUMPING more than five tonnes of CO2 has been pumped into the atmosphere on each 140-mile journey. http://www.sltrib.com/business/ci_5458523 FLIGHT ATTENDANTS ON A SKY-WEST FLIGHT ON MARCH SEVENTH REFUSED TO PERMIT A MAN TO USE THE BATHROOM ON THE PLANE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO LIGHT WORKING IN IT, FORCING THE SANDY, UTAH MAN TO URINATE IN AN AIR-SICKNESS BAG, ACCORDING TO THE SALT-LAKE-CITY TRIBUNE. AIRLINE OFFICIALS LATER APOLOGIZED AND SAID THEY COULD HAVE HANDLED THINGS BETTER, BUT WERE ONLY FOLLOWING FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTARATION GUIDELINES. THEY GAVE THE PASSENGER SOME TRAVEL VOUCHERS SO HE COULD HAVE MORE OPPORTUNTIES TO PEE ON HIMSELF. http://www.boingboing.net/2007/03/18/ba_straps_corpse_int.html OUR FINAL STORY FILED UNDER "WE NEED A PASSENGER'S BILL OF RIGHTS" DETAILS HOW FIRST-CLASS PASSENGERS ON A BRITISH AIRWAYS FLIGHT FROM DELHI TO LONDON SHARED THE CABIN WITH A DEAD WOMAN. BOING BONG DOT NET LINKED TO THE TIMES ONLINE ARTICLE: The body of a woman in her seventies, who died after the plane left Delhi for Heathrow, was carried by cabin staff from economy to first class, where there was more space. Her body was propped up in a seat, using pillows. The woman's daughter accompanied the corpse, and spent the rest of the journey wailing in grief. Paul Trinder, who awoke to see the body at the end of his row, last week described the journey as "deeply disturbing", and complained that the airline dismissed his concerns by telling him to "get over it". ## C L O S E R ## OUR THEME SONG IS AN UNTITLED PIECE FROM THE DISC "HIMNO NASIONAL" BY THE FIGURES, AVAILABLE AT FINGERPRINT DASH RECORDS DOT COM.
