I think you mean the traditional call to action, that is, the verb(s) "Hear, Hear".
though I'll admit that doubling a couple of adverbs, such as "Here, Here" or maybe "When, When" or "Under, Under" or "How, How" might have a useful application under some conditions.
catherine, i just wanted to use "litotes"--the opportunities are so rare--i learned it from watching Monty Python, and am very proud to have it in inventory.
Rip Torn was in a DWI accident or something, and Fox just put his mugshot up full-screen for about 5 minutes while the newsguys laughed at how messed up he looked. Man, I love Fox. Diane Sawyer it ain't.
yeh, Rip Torn--he played Nixon is some tv movie, and tonight he finally looked like him, that day he resigned and waved bye bye from the boarding ramp on Air Force One. The pore guy--really--the pore old guy.

In our Iraq fixation, we fail to note how economic policy designed to be only for the rich has been rejected in so many places and will be that way for at least the next decade.

Australia is pulling back from free trade as benefiting the rich and traditional middlemen only. Russians are reclaiming their nation from the Oligarchs.
Even in America, the Party of the Wealthy, the Republicans - were repudiated by the idependents and Reagan Democrats over the economy not benefiting working people, high concerns about debt, job security, and insecurity over health care. ****************** Elections have consequences.
Bolton was a very able man. But his people were rejected by the voters, and there is no way the Democrats will let one of the last unapologetic neocons (PNAC signer, etc.) remain in a position of high prominence and power.
Bolton also is thought to be not good with all the Latin nations coming in with people he politically opposed, his opposition to any trade or dialogue with Cuba now we are close to Castro's end, and his kneejerk support of Israel at a time when new leadership in America may trying to be moving to being a fairer and more objective party in ME talks.. Too bad he became a symbol of all that and has to be the focus of all the failures in American diplomatic, military, and economic policy that has diminished our clout so much - because Bolton is a professional that really does know the world despite his Latin and Zionist biases, is brilliant and can be a positive force in reversing our global decline and unraveling. ******************* It is unfortunate that media goes with single source in a time of war and chaos, but sometimes that is unavoidable.

Is a Zionist bias a tendency toward provincialism that one must overcome to know the world? And what is a Latin bias, a preference for the pre-Vatican II mass? Perhaps you meant Latin-American bias or Latino bias. Really, C4, you must get out more.

What happens when the MSM gets hold of that tape? The ever vigilant NYT will headline above the fold, "Why Bush Isn't Winning the War - Marine makes ethnic slur, while insulting Muslim technology". An equally vigilant LtC, then, will feel the need to create Memoranda for Record and call in the brigade for a series of diversity lectures.
Meanwhile, a million DVDs will be bootlegged and sold, leading to an invitation for the Marines to write, direct, and produce the next Borat epoch film, "Welcome to the Land Done Under."
During 2006, we were treated to the bizarre need for Democrats to refer to Senator George Allen as "George Felix Allen" to highlight his Hispanic Jewish heritage. Apparently, the left can't abide jewish heritage in Republican Senate candidates and they felt the need to run huge profiles in the Washington Post about George Allen the Jew a/k/a Senator Allen.
But, while the left had this fascination with Senator Allen's middle initial, don't you dare discuss what the "H" is in Barack H. Obama. It will send Maureen Dowd into fits of apoplexy. CAIR will call for martyrdom operations against you. Braless Berkeley grads will accuse you of being a Zionist plant. Because to mention that the "H" stands for "Hussein" is fear mongering.

They gotta be out of their fucking minds. Israel has done everything it could possibly do to live in harmony with their neighbors, ALL of who want her blown apart. Baker is out of his fucking mind and Bush isn't too far behind. My God, I ask myself, how do these Bakers and Carters see the world? Through what distorted prism?
