After living with Neil Young's Living With War since Friday, the verdict is in. Listen here to render your own.
The new Neil Young album Living With War has created a firestorm of controversy, and it isn't even in record stores yet. The latest word on that seems to suggest a soft release date of May 8, which would put the CD in stores by this Monday or Tuesday — the day most retail outlets adhere to as a rule.…

What Passes for a
Democrat Campaign, '06 Style ?
In 2002 it was the Wellstone Memorial, this year it's Mark Foley!
Ladies and gentlemen, isn't it the case that what the Democrats are trying to do is suppress GOP turnout in this race? And if they're trying to suppress GOP turnout, could it mean that they're worried about their own ? Oh yeah baby, The Conservatives are gonna pick up seats, watch !

All stem cell research is legal today in Missouri. Jim Talent does not seek to criminalize it, as Michael J. Fox asserts in his television commercial. The truth is that Amendment 2 would put human cloning in the Missouri Constitution. Michael J. Fox is participating in this disinformation campaign. More Democrate Faked Ass Ho-cus Po-cus.

Fraud claims running rampant after Katrina
Contractor problems, identity theft among concerns
02:57 PM CDT on Thursday, October 13, 2005
Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- Hurricane Katrina has spawned a second big flood that is surging well beyond the Gulf Coast: thousands of cases and complaints alleging fraud.
Seven weeks after the storm roared ashore, authorities around the country are amassing cases ranging from identity theft to scams by phony construction contractors to hotel price gouging.
In Louisiana, dozens of victims have applied for benefits from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, only to find their personal identification information has been stolen and already used. In Texas, authorities say people falsely claiming to be refugees collected hundreds of dollars in emergency aid -- sometimes going back two or three times each day.
And in Mississippi, authorities are on the lookout for a woman who was charging victims $50 to use her "super-duper FEMA phone" -- which she said would let frustrated callers bypass busy signals on a direct hot line to the relief agency.
"There are some real oddball cases," said Mississippi Assistant Attorney General Grant Hedgepeth, who heads the state's consumer protection office. Mississippi investigators have received more than 1,000 complaints -- about hotel and gas price gouging, phony insurance adjuster scams, people posing as FEMA workers to collect victims' personal information.
The Red Cross is investigating more than 500 fraud cases, said spokeswoman Devorah Goldburg. And as of Thursday, the Justice Department had charged 34 people with various fraud crimes stemming from Katrina and Hurricane Rita.
An estimated 1.5 million people evacuated their homes in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama when Katrina hit the coast Aug. 29. Congress has approved $62 billion in disaster relief aid.
The big payout, combined with the scattering of victims to nearly every state, created the potential for rampant fraud in Katrina's aftermath, said Jeannette M. Adkins, executive director of the National Organization of Victim Assistance.
Scam artists "can show up to disaster relief centers in almost every state and present themselves as victims, and have nothing to show for it," Adkins said. "And people are handing out the money."
While the number of federal cases is still relatively small, officials say the prosecutions reflect a more aggressive effort by the government to curb fraud than there was after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The federal government prosecuted 13 people accused of fraudulently seeking aid from the September 11th Victims Compensation Fund and New York City, according to the Justice Department's inspector general. Focused on preventing more terror attacks, the department left nearly all 9/11 fraud cases to local and state prosecutors.
With Katrina, the federal government created an anti-fraud task force the week after the storm hit to curb con artists and contractors trying to cheat the system.
The goal is to make sure that money from the relief effort "doesn't end up in the pockets or wallets of defrauders," said Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher, who heads the task force of investigators from 35 agencies.
Nearly all the federal cases target people posing as displaced hurricane victims. Some are charged with applying for FEMA and Red Cross aid using stolen identity information; others are accused of contriving tragic scenarios to blend in with victims who lost all documentation of their properties.
Two people in Los Angeles are accused of posing as charity officials to collect money from trusting donors. A Miami-area man allegedly solicited donations though his Web site by promising to help evacuate children and critically ill patients from Louisiana.
The bulk of the cases are surfacing at state and local levels.
In Houston, local police arrested 54 people over a six-day period last month, accusing them of illegally collecting Red Cross benefits from a Baptist church.
"Some people were bold enough to come through three times a day," said Houston Police Lt. Craig Williams, who estimated that up to 7,000 Katrina victims -- and impostors -- collected aid at the church daily. Victims were eligible for $360 individually, or $1,565 for a family of five -- and "everybody was claiming they had five kids," he said.
Investigators for Louisiana's attorney general are looking into more than 2,200 complaints about gas stations and hotels trying to take advantage of desperate families by raising prices, said spokeswoman Jennifer Cluck. In Mississippi, Hedgepeth said some hotel prices skyrocketed from nightly rates of $49 to $135 as evacuees searched for shelter.
Even a Louisiana campground got into the price gouging game, Cluck said, by allowing only evacuees willing to pay $900 in monthly fees to stay.
As the immediate emergency for evacuees subsides, authorities anticipate scammers will find new ways to defraud victims. Construction contracts are being watched closely by federal, state and local prosecutors. Roofers are under particular scrutiny in Louisiana, which has seen a spate of cases where little or no work gets done after scammers receive upfront payments.
"We'll probably start seeing some new trends as people look to get back into heir homes and restart their lives," Cluck said.
Rocker Neil Young for what he's worth did not send any of his fleet of Busses to pick up any Katrina victims nor have any of them been spotted on his mega miles of Prime California Country side. Looks like he don't want them round him either; however the good people of Houston have seen there Crime rates skyrocket 3 to 4 Hundred percent. Will Neil Young do a Concert to help offset the cost of Crime Fighting for the good people of Houston ? Bet not. Nope, he'll blame Bush.

Don't fall for the trick of letting liberals get away with lying and misrepresenting things, despite their technique of putting forth people to do this who they think should be immune from such criticism. When anybody enters the political arena, they are subject to criticism, reaction and response. Nobody is immune. Nobody

Those in the military are the people who undergo things that 99% of the population will not, and John Kerry sees fit to insult them by suggesting that they are only there because they're losers. John Kerry is a despicable human being and a know Traitor to the United States.
493 - Rubberneck
There's so much to analyze from just this one little ten-second bite; it tells us what John Kerry himself and the Democratic Party really think about the troops and the US military.
Is there an Amber Alert for Nancy Pelosi yet ? She cannot be found. Why ? Is she @ Howard Deans house cause no one can find him either. Now we know why ! There are a bunch of fake
conservative "Democrats" running in House races and they can't go out there and undercut them by announcing the full-fledged, left-wing, socialist Neil Young agenda that they have in store for the American people. The Democrats are trying to muzzle themselves. They don't want their guys speaking in public, betraying who they really are. But along comes Lurch -- long-faced John Kerry -- stepping in it again. YAFUCKIN-WHOOOOOOOOOO. Keep talkin' Lurch !
Liberals and Democrats in this country have long-held contempt for the US military. To them, it's the focus of evil in the modern world. John Kerry was in Vietnam; he knows -- he's made a career out of bashing the US military ever since he got out. By the way, John Kerry is suffering another delusion: he's under the impression that he has a legitimate shot to win the 2008 presidential nomination of the Democratic Party. This little escapade blows that out of the water. Yeah Baby Yeah !

So it turns out that Neil Young's "Lets Impeach the President" Video is Factually Wrong about the President hiring "All the Criminals" .
It turns out that Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and Scooter Libby had absolutely nothing to do with revealing VALERIE PLAME'S (outing a C.I.A. agents Indentity) just like they said they didn't.
Dear Neil Young,
Acusing someone of being a Criminal is lible. But putting their images on a Permanent Musical Video is far beyond that, especially when it's proven to be a Lie. So what the fuck are you going to do about it Neil Fucking Communist Lover Young ? YOU FUCKIN LIED ! YOU ARE THE FUCKING LIAR. A democrat ADMITS to being the Criminal ! So now are you going to revise your Piece of Shit home movie Video to show the true admitted Criminal ? Ol' Barrel Chested Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.

Diplomacy didn't win the Cold War, Mrs. Clinton. Diplomacy didn't win World War II. Diplomacy didn't win World War I. Diplomacy hasn't won any war because diplomacy prevents the engagement of the enemy -- it just appeases and prolongs what has to ultimately be done anyway.

Rubberneck, I would like to politely appeal to you to take your political discussion to the politics area of the site.
I recognize Neil Young's record has overt political tones to it, but your recent comments have had nothing to do with Young or the record but are rather instances of you making your political opinions known. This is a very fine line and I am counting on your ability to see the nuance.
Understand, I do not wish to censor you and am not asking you to not speak your mind. I am simply asking -- not demanding or ordering or anything of the kind -- you to consider making your comments on this and other threads more topical.

Amen DJR. And thank you. This has gone on just about long enough.

Which means what exactly? The return of "Mookey"?
I mean you "two guys" are like Clark Kent and Superman. One leaves, the other returns. Never in the same place at the same time. And promises made mean absolutely nothing.
Look, I've tried to be nice. I really have. But enough is enough. I'm asking we give this a rest, and if DJR's polite request is any indication, I now have some official BC editor muscle behind it.
We have a politics section for this sort of thing. Go there Mr. NeckMook. Knock thyself out. I suspect you'll find a very active, receptive audience waiting too.
But my Neil Young review---Hello?---is played out. Unless you were planning to take this into the next century or something. But like I said, its done here. You wont be getting that opportunity.
500 posts to state your case that you are a card carrying Republican is plenty enough. You have made your point and then some.
Its over. Deal with it.
Or better yet move on to a place where you can debate the night away. The politics section is calling your name Mr. Mook Neck.
I'm actually going to ask, as the original writer of this article, that this thread be closed to future comments.
In fact, I just did.

505 - Christopher Rose
It's beyond my reach to close an article to comments and also not a practice I'm fond of.
I can however invoke Emergency Regulation "Latex 1" which requires all further comments to this page to be music related until further notice. Any non-compliant comments will simply be deleted.
Kind Regards,
The Comments Editor
506 - Glen Boyd
Music related works Chris. And thanx!
I'm just glad someone (namely DJR) finally recognized the problem here today.
Mr. MookNeck--it's time to take your Lib/Kerry/Hilary/Democrat/Commie/Rush/etc/etc/etc/ vitriol to where it belongs.
Its called the politics section bro.
We are done here.

Please, please don't close this off, I'm enjoying the the Rubber Monkey's meltdown too much! He's literally talking to himself, while wrestling with his desire to love Neil Young's music. It's an obvious inner struggle of unbelievable proportions. Rush vs. Young.....
By the way, does the re-release of Living With War get a new review? It's a different mix, so doesn't it warrant?
Please advise.......

History was made this week! For the first time in four election cycles, Democrats are not attacking the Diebold Corp. the day after the election, accusing it of rigging its voting machines. I guess Diebold has finally been vindicated. Not a word out of Neil Young either. Wasn't there fraud during this election other than the Voter Registration Fraud by the Liberal Advocacy Group (ACORN)? Neil help us on this we know there was fraud !
Thanks Neil,

In the past week, there are 476 documents on Nexis heralding the magnificent achievement of Nancy Pelosi becoming the FIRST WOMAN speaker of the House. I thought we had moved beyond such multicultural milestones.
The media yawned when Condoleezza Rice became the first black woman secretary of state (and when Lincoln Chaffee became the first developmentally disabled senator).
There were only 77 documents noting that Rice was the first black woman to be the secretary of state, and half of them were issues of Jet, Essence, Ebony or Black Entrepreneur magazine.

I know it's not about sales. But really, what else can we measure by ? If nobody buys it, what's it worth ? Certainly nothing to the record company. In fact a piece of crap like this costs them money. A statement ? Why won't even Libs throw their hero a friggin' bone and buy these re-written 40 timesover songs if they think his "statement" is so great ? Surely there are 500,000 Hippy Hold overs around, I know most of them are on oxygen and in re-hab from all the smoking and Drugs but at least they could send someone to the store to trade their Government food stamps for some cash and then buy the CD. I know something can be worked out.
Try Harder and lets sell some albums for Neil, after all, he needs that 2 hundred and fiftyfirst Car for his collection.

The American people do not want defeat. They do not want to cut-and-run. They want to kick the crap out of the enemy and get out of there.

The American left is now building up the notion that we're not really at great risk: 'Yeah, a lot of people are threatening us, but they can't really do anything, so we're just really overreacting here.' So their conclusion is we have to wait until they can pull it off to deal with them.
