This week's WH Limo ride goes to DAVID AXLEROD on Meet the David and This Snufagopolis, where the roundtable has PAUL KRUGMAN AND MICHAEL ERIC DYSON (no George Will! YAY!). RAY "Boots on the Ground" ODIERNO gets live coverage from Iraq on Fake Snooze and State of the John, where King also goes with Ohio GOP has-beens and T. BOONE PICKENS, who will tell us how he'll make his next $billions$ selling us Natural Gas. Throw bricks at Minnesota Guv TIM PAWLENTY shilling for Loser Norm Coleman who was "Ordered To Pay Al Franken $95K By Minnesota Court to cover court costs for his appeal of Minnesota Senate election results". Face the Bob goes with DR. SUSAN RICE, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and GOVERNOR HALEY BARBOUR. Also on Fake Snooze will be Health and Human Services secretary KATHLEEN SEBELIUS to tell us how great the Health Insurance "debate" is going. On the Health Insurance "debate" fraud, LAMBERT @ corrente explains in Why the public option is a FAIL in the making and no progressive should support it, "The public option is not some sort of compromise. It is not some kind of gentle glidepath to single payer, since the legislation will be designed to make the transition to single payer FAIL, as Kathleen Sibelius admits. And as the public option FAIL takes 10 years or so to play out, it will suck all the oxygen out of real policy change and discredit government involvement in health care into the bargain, as Medicare Part D is doing -- making the transition to single payer even less likely. Meanwhile, Versailles, having guaranteed a market to the insurance companies by mandating participation, will chip away at the subsidies that make it possible for the 50 million uninsured to participate in that market, screwing them even further. And as the FAIL plays out, many hundreds of thousands will continue to be denied care, and thousands of them will die. How can any progressive support the public option with a straight face?" Make sure you catch GRAHAM NASH on Ring of Fire Radio, Max Kieser with a post at DU and our Brick TeeVee alerts from Democracy NOW and GritTV. The Brick TeeVee Crew has been enjoying MLB Interleague play and took in PNC Park, where the Pirates beat the Tribe 3-2. The Crew has been deperately trying to keep fauna out of the garden where bean and pepper plants have been ravaged, rigging up a motion detector and spotlights to scare 'em away. Enjoy your Sunday!

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Sunday news will be all abuzz about the Green Revolution and its Stolen Election in Iran! As Max Keiser puts it "And where, by the way, was our color coded revolution??" in 2000 and 2004???? You know the CIA is involved when there's a color assigned to any POPULAR (aka one The West supports) political uprising, and it's possible this could be another "made for teevee" event orchstrated by the Rendon Group or other some such propaganda arm. See Robert Parry At Consotium News What If Ahmadinejad Really Won? and Brad Friedman at BradBlog Iran's 2009 Election Results Suggest Massive Fraud...Just Like Ohio's in 2004 while Juan Cole points out how impossible the election outcome was.. Check your local listings for has-beens FRED THOMPSON and SAM NUNN on Meet the David, with special guest Israeli Prime Minister BENJAMIN NETANYAHU. Face the Bob gets a one-on-one with JOHN "Crazytrain" MCCAIN, worth at least a few bricks. Then This Snufagupolis hosts a grudge match between CHRIS DODD and LINDSEY GRAHAM, plus ROBERT "I'll be short" REICH tells George Will how wrong Will is about everything. State of the King gets a Senator Sit-in with FEINSTEIN & CASEY vs. LUGAR & GRASSLEY, plus uber-neoliberal ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI. EVAN BAYH gets the call to face off against three GOP on FAKE NEWS SUNDAY. Ring of Fire has Rolling Stone's MATT TAIBBI and AntiWarRadio has an interview with GLENN GREENWALD. In financial news, Jeff Clark writes in Gold isn't going to $2,000 an ounce, "All the Money in the World vs. Gold Reserves: If the public eventually sees the paper game being run by the central banks for what it is, governments will be forced to back their currencies with gold (and perhaps other tangibles like silver). Assuming they had to go into the market and buy the gold needed to restore faith in their currencies, the numbers might look like this: Total central banks reserves (including gold holdings) = $4.8 trillion, divided by 929.6 million ounces total gold reserves held by all official institutions that issue currency = $5,246 gold price." And Chris Hedges warns at TruthDig The American Empire Is Bankrupt, "There are meetings being held Monday and Tuesday in Yekaterinburg, Russia, (formerly Sverdlovsk) among Chinese President Hu Jintao, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and other top officials of the six-nation Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The United States, which asked to attend, was denied admittance. Watch what happens there carefully. The gathering is, in the words of economist Michael Hudson, “the most important meeting of the 21st century so far.” It is the first formal step by our major trading partners to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. If they succeed, the dollar will dramatically plummet in value, the cost of imports, including oil, will skyrocket, interest rates will climb and jobs will hemorrhage at a rate that will make the last few months look like boom times. State and federal services will be reduced or shut down for lack of funds. The United States will begin to resemble the Weimar Republic or Zimbabwe.". We hope your gardens are growing well and you're slowly exiting out of U.S. Securities and moving into Gold and Silver. It's not too late!

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Automotive Giant General Motors files bankruptcy and gets de-listed from the Dow Jones after an 80+ year run. Doctor George Tiller is gunned down in his own church. The U.S. President makes an historic speech in Egypt admitting the U.S. role in overthrowing an elected government in Iran and says Iraq was a "war of choice" (excuse, but is this not an admission to violation of international law to not attack a sovereign country unilaterally? Oh, there's that "coalition of the willing" thing.). So, the WH Limo pass goes to DAVID AXELROD on Face the Bob and later with John the King. Then U.S. Secretary of State HILLARY CLINTON takes her own WH Limo for a one-on-one with This Snufagupolis. Elsewhere, White House economic adviser AUSTAN GOOLSBEE gets a taxi to FAKE NEWS to tell the troglodytes the economy is swell, as the RATE of unemployment is SLOWING. Throw bricks at NEWT "Contract ON America" GINGRICH, also on Face the Bob. The Roundtables on all shows will gab mindlessly on all of the above and test you to see how much you think you really know about current events, CorporoPress Version. So it's mostly a wash. Clear your mind instead, check out the Brick TeeVee Alerts and the liberal/"progressive" shows, like Ring of Fire Radio that indicts Corporate America in four segments. Max Keiser has Prison Planet's ALEX JONES who tells us THE COPS are OUT TO GET YOU for SPEEDING, to make up for shortfalls in local government coffers. Also, listen to TWO segments of ANTIWAR RADIO that are very good. For the Breakroom Live crowd, will Sam ever return to the live show? The Brick TeeVee Gardeners are in full force (Michelle O got nuthin' on us!) as we finally have weather suitable to plant things. We plan on making BTV SALSA with FIVE different peppers and FOUR different tomatoes! Watch this space in about two months for the verdict on the first batch! Eggplant, squashes, variety lettuce, cukes and a horde of BEANS round out this year's garden. We're planting all kinds of beans all year and hope to have a 10-bean salad for Labor Day festivities, if not sooner. Farming is hard work! READ FARMER IN CHIEF. It just might be the solution to the unemployment crisis!

BRICK TEEVEE ALERTS!


»RALPH NADER on Democracy NOW! Auto giant General Motors filed for Chapter 11 yesterday in one of the largest bankruptcy cases in US history. Shortly after the filing, GM said it would close fourteen more plants, including seven in Michigan, and cut up to 21,000 more jobs. More than 2,000 car dealerships will be shut down, as well. After the factory closings, GM will have fewer than 40,000 workers buildings cars in the United States, one-tenth of a workforce that numbered nearly 400,000 in the 1970s. WATCH Ralph Nader and Labor Professor Harley Shaiken Discuss the Bankruptcy and Future of General Motors
»KUCINICH on GRITtv What does the restructuring of GM mean for the auto industry, the taxpayer, and the labor movement?

»Domestic Terror Roundtable on GRITtv Dr. George Tiller, one of the few physicians in the United States who performed late term abortions was murdered Sunday in the foyer of his church in Kansas. He is the eighth abortion provider murdered in the US since 1977 and his death is indicative of a larger assault on health clinics and providers who offer reproductive services, including abortion. Jennifer Pozner says that such actions are really cases of textbook terrorism and need to be identified as such. Today, Lynn Paltrow Founder and Executive Director of National Advocates for Pregnant Women, Jennifer Pozner Executive Director of Women In Media & News (WIMN), Sunsara Taylor a writer for Revolution Newspaper, and an abortion provider in the south take on the media’s response to Tiller’s death and discuss what pro-choice organizations need to do moving forward.
