While I’m supporting Bob Barr for the Libertarian nomination, he’s not the only guy running for that nomination. Former Democratic candidate Mike Gravel, who did impress me a LOT from his few debate performances, is among them. Anyway, he’s made quite a few comedic online campaign ads and the latest one features ObamaGirl.

Some officials in the White House want to blame the debacle in Iraq on incompetence in carrying out the war. However, says Presidential Candidate Mike Gravel: “There is no way to make a mistake correctly. The preemptive war in Iraq is a mistake — period.”
A 'must read' from Babblemur. " ... For twenty years this nation has been at war in Indochina. Tens of thousands of Americans have been killed, half a million have been wounded, a million Asians have died, and millions more have been maimed or have become refugees in their own land. Meanwhile, the greatest representative democracy the world has even seen, the nation of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln, has had its nose rubbed in the swamp by petty war lords, jealous generals, black marketeers, and grand-scale dope pushers. And the war still goes on. People are still dying, arms and legs are being severed, metal is crashing through human bodies, as a direct result of policy deecisions conceived in secret and still kept from the American people. H. G. Wells, the English no
As odd as this is, this is actually the most honest music video that's come out from any of the presidential candidates.I still won't vote for Gravel, who is running as a Libertarian after getting killed in the Democratic primaries. Surprisingly, I thought Ron Paul was the most likely nominee for that party.
After getting even less respect than Dennis Kucinich, grumpy old Mike Gravel is leaving the Democratic Party.I'm not sure why he never caught fire, in even the most tepid way, with Democratic voters. But it might be because not many people can stare at Mike's tribute to his his grizzled mug, and the sounds of nature, for longer than ten seconds, without getting the hee bee gee bees :By the way, Mike Gravel supporters should not be confused with the Gravel Girls: Gravel is exiting the Demos because it “is no longer the party of FDR.” But that makes it kind of strange that he is now running for the Libertarian Party nomination. There are all kinds of nutjobs in the Libertarian Party, but not many New Dealers.Mike favors the national sales tax promoted by the other Mike who ran for pr
The Republican nomination is all wrapped up. The Democrats are still fighting but, as Chris Dodd said, “I think it’s very difficult to imagine how anyone can believe that Barack Obama can’t be the nominee of the party. I think that’s a foregone conclusion, in my view, at this juncture given where things are.” [...]
Today Democratic Presidential candidate Mike Gravel announced that he plans on leaving the Democratic Party for the Libertarian Party. He released the following statement to supporters:I wanted to update you on my latest plans before news gets out. Today, I am announcing my plan to join the Libertarian Party, because the Democratic Party no longer represents my vision for our great country. I wanted my supporters to get this news first, because you have been the ones who have kept my campaign alive since I first declared my candidacy on April 17, 2006. The fact is, the Democratic Party today is no longer the party of FDR. It is a party that continues to sustain war, the military-industrial complex and imperialism -- all of which I find anathema to my views. I don't blame Mike Gravel
Today when I went out to the porch to check the temperature and looked down to the Septic Gravel Bed I felt that it had settled some more. I find it strange that it is just in this one spot. We had left a message for Clement Rose Excavating Inc. who was the installer of the New Septic System (hired by the previous owner) to find out whether this is a problem or whether we simply need to add more gravel, but no answer. I guess we have to chase him down...Does anybody know perhaps?
We are ready for the next project involving a Contractor -Constructing a Gravel Parking Area. I marked the space with a bright orange and two days later there was a blue line on the grass too. Someone from the Stonebridge Water District must have seen it and marked the waterline. Thanks! Would not be good to damage that one. Well, we knew it was there but it still helps to have it outlined. So construction should begin soon...
The Rational Response Squad has just received an interesting email. Adam Abeles, Chief Biological Science Advisor for Mike Gravel (former Senator running for President) has written us and vocalized respect for our efforts, along with the request of some exposure due to the congruence of his goals with ours. This includes not only intensified promotion of science in all realms, particularly education, but the elimination of creation science in any classroom, and an open dialogue about the dangers of religion. We are reluctant to throw public support in for any particular candidate as it makes a potential conversion to a 501c3 much more difficult. We are able to convey the facts to you and present you with an area in which to discuss them. We want to know what you think of Mike Gravel. For o
Hard surfaces need virtually no maintenance. They can be used in all sorts of creative ways in place of a lawn. For instance, you can create a courtyard garden enclosed by walls, a Mediterranean-style garden surrounded by evergreens, a minimalist Japanese-style garden, a walkthrough rock garden, a modern patio or a traditional, formal terrace.

I was looking through through the news from late yesterday and today trying to see if there was anything worth talking about when lo and behold, Mike Gravel delivers. In a big way. Mike Gravel, in case you don’t know or have forgotten, is the forgotten Democratic nominee to run for president. No one ever listens to him because at all the debates, the moderators rarely ask him a question and when they do, he comes across like a crazy ass grandfather that might be suffering from some form of mental deterioration. Despite this, I like the guy and tend to like what he says at the debates, though I don’t know how much of what he says is actually possible because I’m no expert on that stuff. I just occasionally follow politics for the senselessness of them. I’m easily entertained.
Mike Gravel decided to bless me, as well as you, with some entertainment today. You owe it to yourself to watch Mike Gravel … rapping.

Once again, it's looking like a full house for DBKP Political Cage Match action. Scalpers were only getting $290 a ticket outside the arena. That's over $200 less than our last Match between the "The Mayor of Mayhem" Giuliani and "Dunkin Death" Hunter. What do make of that, Ginn?

A simple design is the key to keeping down the workload in your front yard. Gravel gardens can provide the ideal solution - easy-care plants that grow through mulch matting topped by a 5cm layer of gravel. Not only do the natural color and texture of a gravel garden help to set off plants to their best effect, but the 'fluid' nature of the loose materials used is ideal for covering an area of an

Everyone’s going to be blogging about Bush’s speech tonight and it’s either going to be blah blah blah he’s holding the country hostage or blah blah blah I want to have George Bush’s babies so instead I’m going to focus on something different. I was getting ready to turn the news off but I flipped over to CNN for a second to see if anyone was talking about the speech. Earlier, I saw Rudy Giuliani looking like some sort of foul creature that just pulled it’s way out of mist covered rot ridden marsh and switched over to MSNBC because I was afraid staring at him for too long would prematurely age me or cause my ears to fall off or something. When I flipped back over I saw a clip of Mike Gravel giving an interview or some such thing an
I admire Mike Gravel. Not for any of his stances on the issues, not for his campaigning strategy, and not because I think he would make a good president. Rather, I admire Mike Gravel for running in spite of no support and in the face of odds that he certainly will not overcome. You see, [...]

Paul, Gravel: They're last but not least - Ron Paul and Mike Gravel - Los Angeles Times - The Republican congressman and former Democratic senator barely register in polls but press on in their presidential bids.
By Sen. Mike Gravel - Why Hillary Scares MeExcerpt:"During one of the debates I mentioned that my fellow Democratic candidates scare me. Hillary's speech last week to the Take Back America conference gives me yet another reason to be afraid.In an indignant voice she decried the Bush administration's ''stunning record of secrecy and corruption, of cronyism run amok. . . It is everything our founders were afraid of, everything our Constitution was designed to prevent.'' Actually, our Constitution grants Congress the power to prevent these ills but Hillary and her colleagues weren't up to the task.Our founders' legacy did not stop Hillary from voting for the Patriot Act and then supporting its renewal in 2006 despite revelations that the government was using it to infringe on the very liberties that our founders held sacred. Where was her commitment to our founders when she voted to gut our habeas corpus protections?"Read Story
yep, the crazy due from alaska is back making the democratic primaries 'bearable' thanks to his antics. first, it was the hilarious youtube "rock in pond" video:now, it turns out he's been hitting the d.c. gay bar scene. i cannot wait to see what this dude does next...please oh please let him hang around the race for a while...i may even sit through another whole debate to see what comes out of his mouth...or at least watch the highlights, that is. one can only take so much chris matthews.

Presidential Hopeful Mike Gravel Hits YouTube With Bizarre Videos - Huffington Post/WonketteExcerpt:"Look, we're all for innovative campaign advertising and the YouTubes and all, but an angry old man silently glaring at a video camera for a minute or so and then walking away -- stopping only to pick up a rock and drop it in the lake -- does not make any sense. It's just creepy."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/06/14/presidential-hopeful-mike_n_52248.html
Just when it seems all hope is lost, just when you think the voice of reason has been silenced by money-infected media and just when you think there are no choices, along comes a guy like Mike Gravel. Who on earth is Mike Gravel I hear you ask? It's a reasonable question since this man hasn't been seen in political circles in the US in 30 years and now he's standing for the office of president in the US for the Democrats.The primaries don't happen until early 2008, but a riveting live TV debate between the Democrat hopefuls should be enough to make the Republicans sit up and consider that they've got a fight on their hands. While Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton smiled and said they thought the war in Iraq was downright awful, it was also revealed that they voted to continue funding it. The war issue aside, Obama's performance was truly wooden. One commenter in the press astutely pointed out that while he is capable, Barack Obama was no Martin Luther King. Clinton herself project
Landscaping with gravel is not a new idea but it is a concept that many gardeners struggle to come to terms with. Especially if it means replacing the sacred lawn. Then the idea either enters the "Let's consider it" basket or it's relegated to the abyss of stupid gardening thoughts.
But, landscaping gravel doesn't have to replace your lawn. There are many uses for gravel in your garden design than just surfacing large areas. Mulching, laying as a pathway, or even creating a focal point with a pair of chairs and table positioned atop.
The real charm of gravel is that it comes in many different forms yet they can all be retailed under the same name. Landscaping gravel can be sold as pea gravel, horticultural grit, decorative gravel, coarse-grade stone chippings, stone aggregate and even shingle. And as it ranges from different source materials so the colours available differ as well.
Depending on what application you have in mind and what has already been established within your g
WASHINGTON — Today, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) announced her intention to make former Gov. Tom Vilsack of Iowa, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and former Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska completely irrelevant.
"I'm in," declared Clinton's Web site, "And I'm in to trivialize Dennis Kucinich to the point that his Wikipedia entry is actually, wholly deleted. Again"
On the 27th of November, two by-elections (in the ridings of Repentigny and London North Centre) will be organized to attribute to any political parties two empty seats of Canada's House of Commons. However, at the light of what we saw, we can really wonder why Raymond Gravel will be the candidate in the riding of Repentigny for the Bloc Québécois (BQ) to replace the late Benoît Sauvageau.Raymond GravelRaymond Gravel made a reputation for himself in Quebec for openly displaying his advocacy of same-sex marriages even though he was a priest. However, this priest of Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines declared that once elected, he'll remain loyal to the Catholic Church. This means that he won't approve any bill that doesn't fit into the moral doctrine promoted by the Catholic faith.What commonly unites Raymond Gravel and the other members of the BQ is his desire to defend the interest of Quebec and also to fuel the Quebecker separatists. However, if Gilles Duceppe knows that his big-shot can
