I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Hi all!
More attention for me, that's my plan.
Seconds!
Atrios, get an agent!
Hiya, M31
ned-mentum!
Classy webpage you got there, GOP.
all of those people pictured are heroes of mine. If the GOP says they're wrong, they must be doing something right.
Like we're supposed to be scared of Markos?
I'm shriller and eviller than Markos, and I never get put into GOP agitprop.
Ned looks thin even when he isn't standing next to Michael Moore...
Fuck the mainstream press, and all the suits that run with it!!!
Mike Stark's on The Daily Show!!
besides what are the 'thuglicans worried about?? If they're weak and wrong, that means good things for the GOP, right?
If the GOP says they're wrong, they must be doing something right.
It's a truism.
Like we're supposed to be scared of Markos?
He's like those kids from ST:TOS...
who's the fat guy?
Mike Stark's on The Daily Show!!
No shit???? I used to write back and forth with him.
you don't like to be on TV Duncan?
Jon Stewart rocks.
Who's the far-righthand guy in the picture? Looks like Don Zimmer, but I doubt it's him.
Yikes! I'm scared. Who's the sloppy guy?
Markos has allowed black people to be near him. He's no better than Ned.
Yeah, that Markos sure is scary. Look at those dead, dead eyes.
that's Murtha M31. You know, the 30some year Marine veteran who's such a troops-hater.
the "defeat-ocrats". now theres some wit for ya.
how has that republican led war in iraq goin? afghanistan?
Kos looks stoned.
Exactly who is this Markos and which one is he in the photo?
(cough)
I know a big deal was made about the photo-enhanced smoke in Lebanon but it sure looks like the Republicans have photo-shopped a subliminal Hitler moustache onto Howard Dean.
(cough)

our Master will punish you Ek.
I love the characterization "weak", too -- like it takes balls to send other people's kids to an early grave.
And besides, Ken Mehlman is the Original Pantywaist. He took the title in a slapfight with Bill Kristol.
Kos looks stoned.
Well, he is a hippy...

TDS is must-see TV tonight. They are really enjoying the Lamont victory.
A,
Screw kos. I will buy you a steak and lobster at the Palm, anytime. They just know that he does not photograph as well as you do.
I think he's overexposed, already, you laconic, sweaty lunk, you.
Pick five similar Republicans. Equal in as many ways as possible. I count a 40% military sevice rate here without knowing Lamont's status. What about those Republicans.
Howard Dean - Ken Mehlman
Kos - Instywanker
Michael Moore - Ted Nugent
Jack Murtha - What's her name
Ned Lamont - Schlessinger
Yeah, but Kos is fat. And angry. And a partisan vet.
lol Sam Bee compared Joe to a stalker!
The GOP is fucking unbelievable.
TDS-Lieberman stalking.
Are they reading this blog?
Samantha Bee: "Joe! we don't want to go out with you anymore! It's not persistance, it's stalking"
Fuck the GOP.
Atrios is better looking than kos.
This comes from a horny old moonbat.
I know good looking, and it. is. Atrios.
Geez, you win one little election and the GOP goes berserk. Well, one more election.
Master Kos!
Salaam, Master!
Jo bless! 
Atrios, get an agent!
It's not as if I haven't offered a dozen times to turn over the pulling power of a major DC law firm to find him a good agent. He just doesn't want one, nor will he let me buy him some Hermes ties. Young people, these days.
defeatocrats? they all look like they could kick your ass.
well, lamont, not so much. maybe if he was cornered, he'd get scrappy.
I wonder if Mrs. A knows he has groupies?
Markos gets all the attention.
well if it means anything to you, I think you're the battiest moonbat who ever mooned a bat. Or batted a moon. Whatever.
Murtha! Ha Ha Ha, those conservative, military types really scare the GOP.
Did they photoshop a 'V' on his forehead? Looks like it.
Jeez. Look at the lineup--Dean, a Rockefeller Republican; Markos, a centrist Democrat; Lamont, a businessman pro-competency type; Moore, advocate for the factory worker, and Murtha?
Aren't there any real home-grown enemies of America anymore? Oh wait, they're called Republicans.
I know good looking, and it. is. Atrios.
I foresee a new banner under the title graphic in Eschaton's immediate future...
The funniest thing about the rethugs is that they're never, ever right about anything.
Jealous? I thoought that Duncan is the guy seen over Michael Moore's (who is fat BTW) left shoulder?
Party of ideas? This could only appeal to idiots, ideologues, and admixtures of the two.
Why does Kevin Bacon still have a 1970's era haircut?
I wonder if Mrs. A knows he has groupies?
Hell, she met us!
Ack.
Asshole Condi on my teevee.
"
Hell, she met us!
Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore"
Now that is a true Liberal.
That's okay, Atrios. We know how dangerous, subversive and Michael Moore-ish you are. Just two sweaty, pinko, un-American lunks.
BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!!
That website is fucking hilarios. Unintentional elf-parody is what that fucking is.
Er, but Lamont just, I think, won rather than was defeated. Or am I mistaken?
More defeats like Lamont's, please...

Naw, it's the self-righteous, pretend anger. "John F Kennedy ... having sex with women in the White House! That never happened under Tricky Dick Nixon!!"
oh, look at that--Howard's almost sporting a hitler-stache!
really, now--what the fuck is the MATTER with these GOP shits? they're not like you and I...have they mutated into some awful subset of humanity? and what are we going to have to do with them? I don't think re-education'll work, unfortunately...
Weak? I dunno, the guy on left looks like he'd bite the head of a rat and squeeze it's arteries through his teeth...

Lamont is so weak and wrong that he's gonna defeat-ocrat both the Republican and No-mentum Parties in November.
Ahhh... the thrill of victory, the agony of getting your ass handed to you by a defeat-ocrat.

yes, i'm always 'wrong.' but gosh, could i at least get a shot as the maid in the french outfit, or something? i mean, they made that movie, right? or do republican believe that they reproduce solely thru immaculate methods, in which ken mehlman and Mann coulter come together in a fluid free embrace of ideals?

Howard Dean:
“It’s right-wing propaganda,” Mr. Dean said. “They are beginning to look ridiculous: A majority of Americans now believe that going to Iraq was the wrong thing to do. I think this shows how far out of touch the Republicans are. What you are seeing is the beginning of the end of the Republicans, because a lot of this was a referendum on George Bush’s policies. George Bush is going to take a big hit and a lot of people are going down with him, including Ken Mehlman.”

In the heartland, we have moral values and God.
Got milk?
In the heartland, we have moral values and God. You have nothing.
Cue a compilation of all the Bobo's world posts Atrios has ever done.
Moral values indeed.
I would also ask that you not judge us, Ruppert. Since you have God and all.
Y'know who's missing from that photo?
John Wilkes Booth.
. In the heartland, we have moral values and God.
is that why republicans can't govern?
I wonder if Richard Simmons is pro-war.
In the heartland, we have moral values and God.
Leave me out of it, you hell-bound freak of nature!
In the heartland, we have moral values and God.
Two words: Gein. Dahmer.
I have a rock that keeps tigers away
Actually, I'd prefer something along the lines of, 'Speaker Pelosi, the Chair would like to call the first witness...' spoken in level, even tones, frequently...
Precisely.
Got milk?
They should have put a milk moustache on all those guys in the picture. Now that would have been funny.
plum p, i'll just ignore arianna ran as a spoiler herself. with joe, it's inexcusable

Michael Moore is actually a filipina named Michelle Maglalang.
the "defeatacrats"
are a Centrist democrat with anti-war positions, a centrist dem with anti-war positions, a former green party member, and a guy who voted for the authorityb to invade iraq?
Maybe wishful thinking, but I feel like Lieberman has become a parody of himself overnight, a national joke.
He's the Black Knight: 'Oh? All right, we'll call it a draw.'
And was just barely able to afford to buy a house.

I went to the GOP.com page to actually see if that immature image was posted on the site and sure enough it is
Is this what American Politcs has been reduced to name calling...what a pathetic bunch of ASSHOLES ..really I am stunned!!!
also...I guess they ran out of room for our liberal women "defeato-crats" (or maybe it was deliberate since we all know how anti-women Repubs are)
I guess Ken couldnt fit Jane Fonda, Barbara Striesand, and Natalie Maines

POTTSTOWN PA-- A candidate forum will be held Thursday, Aug. 10 at the Ricketts Community Center, 640 Beech St., Pottstown, sponsored by Working Families Win.
On Tuesday, organizers said so far four candidates had confirmed they would appear in person and five more would send representatives.
Advertisement
Attending will be the candidates for the 146th Dist. seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, Republican incumbent Tom Quigley and Democratic challenger P.J. McGill.
Dan Weand, the Democratic challenger for the state senate seat in the 44th Dist. will also be there, as will a representative for his opponent, incumbent Republican John Rafferty.
Both candidates in the U.S. Senate race -- incumbent Republican Rick Santorum and Democratic challenger Bob Casey -- will send representatives as will the two candidates for governor, incumbent Democrat Ed Rendell and Republican challenger Lynn Swann.
Lois Murphy, the Democrat trying for the second time to unseat incumbent Republican Congressman Jim Gerlach in the sixth district will be on hand.
As of Tuesday, organizers said Gerlach and state Rep. Tim Hennessey, R-26th Dist., had not responded. Hennessey is unopposed.
Working Families Win is described on its Web site as being a Washington, D.C.-based project of Americans for Democratic Action.
According to the Web site: "our Working Families Win project has hired full time, professional organizers in key communities in Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire and North Carolina to implement what we hope will be a three year program to focus attention on the failure of the economy and build support among working class Americans for a new direction in the nation’s policies and politics."
The site also notes that "in each community, project participants will press candidates for Congress, U.S. Senate, Governor, and state legislature to take clear and strong positions on behalf of working people including support for increasing the minimum wage, opposition to new trade deals like NAFTA and CAFTA, stronger rights for workers to join unions, protection of retirement benefits, and quality health care for all."

"Elsewhere it has been argued with success that Noah maintained the largest repository of animal DNA ever assembled in his "Ark". Researchers have concluded that Noah's greatest contribution was not the ark that he built with alien assistance but the monumental task of cloning every animal from the DNA samples which he saved and protected on the ark.
Interestingly, research has come to light in recent years that relates this cloning operation to the story of Ham and the uncovering of Noah's nakedness after Noah became drunk. Alternate theories abound. However students of scripture, archaeology, and crypto-history alike are coming to some definite conclusions about just what really happened to Noah and Ham after the flood.
Scholars working from papyrus and copper scrolls found at Qumran, Masada, and Megiddo had been able to piece together a basic account of just exactly what happened.
Noah was not cultivating grapes to get drunk. Noah was operating a sophisticated scientific operation designed to reconstitute animals from the DNA samples he posessed. Ham was a necessary participant. Through an ingenious scientific process lost to history. Ham would seed the DNA into Noah's body. Noah acted as an incubator for the animal zygotes until they reached a certain level of development. At that point they would be transferred to the uterus of a cow or antelope.
At any one time, a hundred or more zygotes were living free in Noah's abdomen. It was Ham's job to "impregnate" Noah with the cloned embryos as each batch was ready. What was unknown to Noah however was that Ham had saved DNA from a dubious source prior to the flood.
Prior to the flood, Ham had been in a homosexual relationship with a member of the Nephilim, the giants in the land for which God sent the flood in the first place. The Nephilim were fallen from heaven along with their leader Satan. Ham combined the DNA from himself and this Nephilim and produced a clone. This clone he introduced into the body of Noah. This is the sin of Ham."
Ooops. Not the same Zogby. Brother.

"What is the 'heartland' anyway?"
It's about 1/3 of the U.S. electorate.
They call themselves the real Americans.
The electoral college makes 'em relevant.
Vicky Loves al gore,
Hillary supports the war in iraq, which has claimed the lives of almost 3,000 of our soldiers. She has an anti-war candidate who is running against her in the Democratic primary named John Tasini. He is just like Ned Lamont. We defeated Liemberman, and we should also work to defeat Hillary. The policy that she has supported in Iraq has killed many Americans. It's time for a change. It's time for some real democrats to go to washington who will stand up to George Bush, not parade around with him like her husband has.
t. i spent all lunch defending her to an opus dei rightist.
Egad. My condolences, Hecate. Did you make sure that when he touches Scalia, Scalia will break out in hives and boils?

Not easy being a woman in any game. Harder still being a woman in the games that threaten the boyz power.
Gotta love Dan Froomkin, calling a spade a fucking shovel and showing how it's done without the recommended spin:
Lamont's out-of-nowhere victory, fueled by his depiction of incumbent Joseph Lieberman as a presidential patsy, suggests a political awakening of that sizeable group of Americans who intensely disapprove of Bush, his war in Iraq, and pretty much anything else he touches.
Consider that, according to the latest Washington Post poll , a near-majority of Americans -- 46 percent -- strongly disapprove of the job Bush is doing. That's strongly. Another 12 percent somewhat disapprove.

BTW, Arlo Guthrie covered 'I Ain't A-Marching Anymore' quite well on an Ochs covers compilation by multiple artists...

In fairness, only one of those three is being bandied about as a Presidential candidate.
And there is a very real concern about Democrats who actually will speak out against the war. Hence the enthusiasm for Lamont (what else does he stand for? No one really seems to care, at the moment.).
So it's a fair question to ask: what would Hillary do? The answers are not reassuring.
It's about 1/3 of the U.S. electorate.
Thanks. What is the geographic description?

I ♥ the Gates Foundation!
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation took its support of AIDS-related research and care to a new level Wednesday, announcing a half-billion-dollar grant to a global fund that provides AIDS assistance in poor countries.
The Geneva-based Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria will receive the grant over five years.
The gift dwarfs the $150 million US the Microsoft founder's foundation has given since the fund was created four years ago, and the additional $287 million US that Gates announced last month to speed development of an AIDS vaccine.
we should also work to defeat Hillary.

National health care, to name one thing. The right of workers to make a decent minimum wage. The beauty of Lamont is that he isn't beholden to lobbyists (qualifier: for the time being).

I started to respond to that post, and I just said "fuck it." It's too late to argue with a troll.
"Consider that, according to the latest Washington Post poll , a near-majority of Americans -- 46 percent -- strongly disapprove of the job Bush is doing. That's strongly. Another 12 percent somewhat disapprove."
Poor trolls. They still kid themselves that the 60% and growing are "left-wing extremists". The effort it must take to maintain their denial, even assuming an unrelieved diet of Faux news, must be immense.

Rmj, Street Credentialed,
Hillary has not spoken out against the war, but her Democratic opponent, John Tasini, has. He has our interests at heart. He's against George Bush's policy in Iraq that has killed so many of our loved ones. Where's Hillary? She doesn't say a peep about Iraq. Her husband endorsed the turncoat Joe Lieberman. We need to defeat Hillary and elect real democrats to the senate, not ones that cozy up to the Bushes when it suits their purpose.
it's time for sleep, moonbats, and dreams of the pink and hardened globes made ripe by corn and milk upon my mouth, such are the midwestern values that only those that live here can enjoy. freedom to all, and great satisfaction to those who are not afraid, and look upon their fellow (wo)man's physique with love and lust, pink, brown, or deep coffee colored as their ripe and hardened parts may be. may the rainbow colored salts of passion wet each and every tongue. we are the party of lust, love and satisfaction. we must never let this heady, bursting truth, or the fence sitters' bitter tears of denial and insecurity, be forgotten.

Cheney's comments on Lieberman: "And as I look at what happened yesterday, it strikes me that it's a perhaps unfortunate and significant development from the standpoint of the Democratic Party, that what it says about the direction the party appears to be heading in when they, in effect, purge a man like Joe Lieberman, who was just six years ago their nominee for Vice President, is of concern, especially over the issue of Joe's support with respect to national efforts in the global war on terror.
The thing that's partly disturbing about it is the fact that, the standpoint of our adversaries, if you will, in this conflict, and the al Qaeda types, they clearly are betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task."

Let's see, Froom says 46 percent of the people strongly disapprove of Bush, and another 12 percent somewhat disapprove . . . 46 + 12 = 58? Is that right, 58 percent of my fellow citizens disapprove of Bush? You know, I like it when they phrase it like that. It just sounds so much more . . . disapproving than when you state it the other way round, 38 percent approve.
58 percent of my fellow citizens disapprove of Bush. Most of them disapprove strongly. I feel so . . . so mainstream, somehow!

Hecate, Brightly-Coiffed,
The fact is Hillary voted for the war in iraq and that war has killed thousands of our fellow americans.
We have a choice in her senate race. John Tasini is running against her, and you should look into his record. He's just like Ned Lamont. He's against the war in iraq and he will stand up to george bush.
Flory--on the other hand, now I have an excuse to watch cartoons in the afternoon
"heartland" is one of those words they use when they want to sell you something. It's 5 bucks of sentiment in a 99 cent bottle, if you're a sucker for that kind of thing. The easy smile of total strangers on TV, making a stare into a glass tube seem like a reunion of old friends. Like the news-- all the local stations start off introducing their "news team", looking into the camera like they're falling in love with you. Creeps me out. And when they sign off, it's "see you at 11." Huh? They can see me now?

BlakNo1,
I'm very passionate about Tasnini, just like real democrats in CT are passionate about Lamont.
I just feel that in times like these we need democrats who will stand up to george bush and his failed policies in iraq. Hillary hasn't done that. In fact, the Clintons and Bushes are too cozy. The Bushes seemed to have adopted Bill Clinton. Hillary has supported this war in iraq since day one. She refuses to say her vote was a mistake.
Really, we should support John Tasini who is running against her for the democratic nomination. He is somebody who will stand up to george bush and dick cheney and tell them to bring our troops home.
Now that LIEberman has been defeated because of his love of wars that benefit Israel, we can expect a false-flag operation within the US before the election. Despite the Republican attitude that LIEberman's defeat means nothing, they are scared. This was a referendum on the war, on the Patriot Act, on illegal wire-taps, on censorship of protestors, on pressuring books like "America Deceived" from Amazon, and on 2 illegal wars. The One Worlders are afraid of what happened to LIEberman and will most likely explode a nuke in the US before the elections and scare the masses to return them to power.

We had a killer year for Pinot Noir here in OR about 7 years ago. Must have been the perfect summer for it. Red that went all the way to the back of your tongue, singing.
After the war in Iraq started, I listened to Phil Ochs obsessively for months... ("The War Is Over"...)
Lieberman was determined to represent things the majority of Americans disagree with. He was no D/democrat and there there was no reasoning with him, nor reason within him.
Clinton, in contrast, is a canny, considered person. I disagree with her on many, many things, but I don't have a monopoly on what's right or wrong. She can play ball, where Lieberman had become another 'Washington General in globetotters clothing' fear-zombie cluttering up the court.

He loved him till Ochs criticised one of his songs... Dylan threw him out of his limo, telling him he was a journalist, not a folksinger.
As I recall, what Ochs said was, "You'll never be Elvis." Which was true. It's funny and revealing that Dylan reacted that way. Ochs of course released his final album with a cover that was an Elvis tribute.

Dear Vicki,
Thank you for contacting the Personal Comfort of Joycamp Party. We hope you will be able to provide personal and monetary support as we make our Independent bid to take back the Democratic Party from Ned Lamont and serve the people of Connecticut as I have done for the past 6 of 18 years or so. We'll need people like you to keep the Joymentum moving forward at the end of the day. Also, any bandwidth you can spare would be appreciated.
This is what I love about the GOP.

Always a good thing.
Michael Moore has a very nice smile.
Someone should see if that faux Hitler moustache on Dean is photo-shopped. That would be a coup.
Of course you're in there! Look behind all of them, and what do you see?
The pitch-black darkness, the eternal void of the Eschaton.
A friend of mine, one of the lawyers I work for, heard Hillary speak at a conference and had the chance to speak to her briefly afterward. I trust my friend's judgment on people, and she said that Hillary is not only brilliant, but very personable and charming in person.
So I'm no Hillary-hater. In the unlikely event that I met her, I'd probably like her, too.
But I'm tired of the triangulation, tired of her playing the angles, tired of her focus-grouped policies. I know she gets extra flack for being a woman, but she still was born a playa, into an influential family, and is still too bound by "the rules."
She was skunked by the health care bill debacle. But the Rethugs never let that sway them from their (evil) plans. They just lurk about the edges and keep trying to sneak their crap in. Hillary should have fixed the flaws I understand were in the bill and kept on pushing.
And, you know, she was fucking correct about the vast right-wing conspiracy. But the manufactured hullaballoo over her remark made her pull back to safer positions.
When she was getting that consultant image advice and trying to prove her "cookie" bonafides, she should have said: "Fuck that shit. I'm a professional. I work. Get over it. Women have always worked - shopkeepers, clerks, factory workers, teachers, governesses, and watching relatives' kids for room and board if that's how they could keep a roof over their heads. The difference with me is, I've benefitted by the struggles of the women who went before me and aren't damned to a wage ghetto. I can get whatever pay and prestige I earn by the work that I do."
We don't need to work to defeat her.
She's smart, she can learn. I think we need to, friendly-like, hold her feet to the fire to drop the centrist, gotta-be-like-the-boys crap and grab the liberal banner.
When they're hollering, we're stomping in the right places.

"Clinton, in contrast, is a canny, considered person."
True, but she still supports the illegal occupation and war in iraq that has killed almost as many Americans as 9/11.
She won't stand up to Bush and tell him to bring the troops home, like John Tasini (her democratic opponent), and Ned Lamont will do.
The Clintons are far too cozy with the Bushes. It's like the Bushes adopted Bill Clinton as their son or something.
We need a change in Washington. Tasini will work for that change. He is a true progressive democrat, who will stand up to Bush on this war and he will stand up against any trade deal against our american workers.
Hillary won't. Hillary has a centrist record. She is no progressive. John Tasini is! We should take Michael Moore's advice and work against any Democrat who supports this illegal war. We should work against Hillary.

Yes, she did. I wish that kind of hardplaying had come earlier, but it's a good start. I also like the quick check to support Lamont, and the fact she's hired an intelligent blogger to advise her.
She's smart, she's showing progress, let's see how it goes on. I may criticize her and Bill for backing down too often, but, let's face it, the other Dems didn't exactly have their backs. Well, Hillary, if you want to show yourself a true liberal and progressive, there's plenty of us here to get your back now. You just gotta show us that you'll also get ours.
John Tasin blah blah blah Hillary blah blah

"We don't need to work to defeat her.
She's smart, she can learn."
She's smart, but she's just taking positions that she thinks will help her win the presendency. She's acting like a republican. A true progressive would never support this illegal war and occupation of iraq. She refuses to tell bush to bring home the troopps. She plays politics with our men and women who are dying over there in that bloody civil war. Her opponent, john tasini, is a true progressive. He is against the war in iraq and he doesn't triagulate. he has no interest in running for president to appeal to right wing republicans, like hillary is. He wants to represent new york as a progressive.
there's plenty of us here to get your back now. You just gotta show us that you'll also get ours.

You're going to be waiting a long time for Hillary to get your back. She acts like a Republican most of the time. She certainly hasn't gotten the back of our soldiers in iraq, who are dying over there in a bloody civil war. She's not gotten the back of the tax payers who are paying billions for this illegal war that she supports. She hasn't gotten the back of the american worker by supporting right wing free trade deals. John Tasini is the real deal. He is the Ned Lamont of New York. He has had a flood of new volunteers to his progressive campaign since Lamont won. He'll fight for change in New York. Hillary will fight for the status quo, and she'll keep on acting like a republican most of the time to try and get elected president.

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- A new MTV cartoon depicting black women squatting on all fours tethered to leashes and defecating on the floor is drawing fire from several prominent African Americans who call the episode degrading.
I can not believe they showed black people squatting.
What the fuck does that mean? You got a thing for Manne Coulter?
HEh
No, but the cheetoh-eating surrender Freepers and Yellow Elephants do. Too scared to take care of their own security, they have to hide behind Mann Coulter's skirt and wave the white flag when asked to surrender their freedom.
Mmmmm....
Cheetos 'n' cum!
Hillary must be privately peeing in her panties as a result of the loss of Holy Joe (R--Israel).
While this souless, opportunistic pol may be smart, her overall political instincts suck ass.
By aligning herself with the DLC and the "Republican Lite" inside-the-beltway elite, she's chosen the wrong crowd to listen to, and I suspect that she's now wondering whether she's torpedoed any Presidential hopes she (and Bill) has in the process of her doing so.
Poor Hillary.
Not.
Markos looks so cute in that picture! I LOVE the GOP for putting him up there.
Clinton - She can play ball, where Lieberman had become another 'Washington General in globetotters clothing' fear-zombie cluttering up the court.

No shit. who was the first to Lamont a check? She is a player.
I still don't like her but I would vote for her over a republican any day.
About that GOP ad . . . .

Folks, that's the GOP base.

I had a great-aunt from the Ukraine who referred to assholes as Kossacks. I know a man in his late 80s who still thinks that Communists are behind everything. Some people's lives have just stopped, and their enemies today are the people who were their enemies back when their lives still meant something.

Dontcha just love the GOP's need to give democrats advice on how to run their campaigns and select their candidates?
They are all such SWELL GUYS!!
Can't we all just get along?
Well, actually, no we can't-we will come after you and burn your fucking Gooper-K street-rapture-right house down.
Then maybe, if we're in the mood, we'll talk
In the meantime, go fuck yourselves

Fucking sweet hilarious news over at DKos:
After a review of candidacy petitions filed on behalf of Green Party US Senate candidate Carl Romanelli and gubernatorial candidate Marakay Rogers, Dems plan to file a lawsuit bouncing them off the ballot. State Democratic Chair T.J. Rooney said a detailed review of the petitions -- a signature drive admittedly financed almost entirely by GOP supporters of embattled US Senator Rick Santorum -- showed 69,622 of the 94,544 signatures are likely invalid. "Phony names, fake signatures and a tremendous amount of illegal and deceptive practices were uncovered during our thorough and aggressive analysis," said Rooney.
The Dems mocked the submitted petitions for being so sloppy as to contain signatures purporting to be for Jesus Christ, John Kerry, Lee H. Oswald, Terri Schiavo and Mickey Mouse. Romanelli countered the move is a heavy-handed, undemocratic effort to block him from running.

Entry level CIA work is so fucking boring I'm surprised they don't part it out to correctional institutions. All you do is read and look for keywords. You read everything from newspapers to religious tracts. You find words, and then you pass your work on to someone who works at a higher level, and they look for words, too...and so on and so on. They're not hiring secret agents.

I wouldn't be surprised if you are right, but ya got Poodles to raise the flag this time.
Man, the list of restrictions is amazing.
Passengers may take only the following items through a airport security search point. They must be in a single (ideally transparent) plastic carrier bag. Nothing may be carried in pockets:
:: Pocket-size wallets and pocket-size purses plus contents (for example money, credit cards, identity cards, etc (not handbags)).
:: Travel documents essential for the journey (for example passports and travel tickets).
:: Prescription medicines and medical items sufficient and essential for the flight (eg, diabetic kit), except in liquid form unless verified as authentic.
:: Spectacles and sunglasses, without cases; contact lens holders, without bottles of solution.
:: For those travelling with an infant: baby food, milk (the contents of each bottle must be tasted by the accompanying passenger) and sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight (nappies, wipes, creams and nappy disposal bags).
:: Female sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight, if unboxed (eg tampons, pads, towels and wipes), tissues (unboxed) and/or handkerchiefs keys (but no electrical key fobs).
All passengers will be hand searched and their footwear and all the items they are carrying must be x-ray screened.
Pushchairs and walking aids will be x-ray screened, and only airport-provided wheelchairs will be allowed through the screening point.
In addition to the above, all passengers boarding flights to the USA and all the items they are carrying will be subjected to secondary search at the boarding gate. Any liquids discovered will be removed from the passenger.
Now Brussells airport is shut down.
No passenger carried liquids will be alllowed after 4 am EDT.

You're not allowed to say, carry a book, onto the aircraft?
This is basically a surrender to terrorism.

I suppose it would depend on if it was a liquid book or not.

I love CNN's reporting on this. Contradictions within the first paragraph. *lol*
:::British police have disrupted what they believe was a major terrorist plot to blow up aircraft in flight, likely between the United Kingdom and the United States, a Scotland Yard said today. Arrests were made overnight in London. UK officials raised the nation's threat level to "critical," and U.S. authorities raised the threat level to its highest for commercial flights from Britain to the United States.:::
Now if they actually disrupted the plot, then they wouldn't be needing to raise the security level and implementing all sorts of crazy ass restrictions on passengers.
How do you like my latest fake terra attack? Suckers.
Regarding the question of how to push back against the corrrupt media narrative they weel use on Lamont, the bloggerro Driftglass suggests thees tactic:
... starting tomorrow the story needs to be that Lieberman lost, period. And the race has moved on to a contest between the duly nominated Democrat and the nominated Republican. And if the Lieberman-centric, Lieberman-obsessed shit doesn't die down, if it were me, I'd start having Lamont voters and supporters showing up in front of the camera with purple fingers.
And when reporters ask (as they will) I'd say that apparently this is the only fucking way the proudly expressed will of a free electorate gets any play in U.S. Press.
Not too bad, eh?
so.
Now if they actually disrupted the plot, then they wouldn't be needing to raise the security level and implementing all sorts of crazy ass restrictions on passengers.

It's like admitting they didn't catch everyone, yes / no?
Just saw Lamont on MSNBC - Matthews. Lamont did a good job - you'd never know he was a newbie politician.

:::London's Metropolitan Police said a months-long intelligence operation by the anti-terrorist branch and security service resulted in several arrests overnight,:::
At least there aren't any reports yet of London's Metropolitan Police shooting innocent people like they've done in their last two anti-terrorist actions.
Met Police = 2 innocents shot, no terrorists found, desperately trying to avoid apologising for dramatic cock ups
Another, personal story of the destruction inflicted by Katrina:
A photographer for the Times-Picayune of New Orleans who has undergone severe personal trauma since Hurricana Katrina hit was arrested Tuesday after trying to get police to shoot him to death. Police said he claimed he was depressed after he found out he didn't have enough insurance money to rebuild his Katrina-damaged home.
They said he was seeking "suicide-by-cop," but police who found him tasered him instead.
Now if they actually disrupted the plot, then they wouldn't be needing to raise the security level and implementing all sorts of crazy ass restrictions on passengers.

the thing i note is that the security ppls do no anticpating and no adjustment until after. Guy tries to hide explosives in shoes, they make everyone take off shoes afterwards. The villains try to use liquid explosives, nobody gets liquids anymore.
Never is there an attempt to anticipate all the possibilities and do something efficient to stop all of them, like set up chem sniffers at the x-ray barriers to detect explosives wherever they may be hidden.

Okay, so Lanny J. Davis--whew, that's scraping the barrel, I guess the first 50 more interesting opinions on Lieberman had blog commitments--writes a lameass pro-Lieberman whine about blog posts on the left being as crude as those on the right. Whatever.
But lookie here:
>A friend of mine just returned from Connecticut, where he had spoken on several occasions on behalf of Joe Lieberman. He happens to be a liberal antiwar Democrat, just as I am. He is also a lawyer. He told me that within a day of a Lamont event--where he asked the candidate some critical questions--some of his clients were blitzed with emails attacking him and threatening boycotts of their products if they did not drop him as their attorney. He has actually decided not to return to Connecticut for the primary today; he is fearful for his physical safety.
The lobbyist perhaps? Richard Goodstein? Back from the Mondale days? And Lanny J.? Is he, perhaps, doing a little oped writing for sport and cash?
Either way, I can't help but wish for Tanner '08, if just for an extended blog thrash episode.

Murdoch and Australian President John Howard had dinner in NYC on 9/10/01. They were supposedly photographed clandestinely. When Howard was asked why he was in NYC 9/10, he denied it. The Australian media then produced the photos, embarassing Howard and I would guess Murdoch too.

So get ready, people, from now until November it's TERROR, TERROR and more TERROR plots coming to a tv screen near you.

3 U.S. Soldiers Killed in Western Iraq
By ROBERT H. REID , 08.09.2006, 05:09 PM
Three American soldiers were killed Wednesday in the Sunni insurgent area west of Baghdad, and Iraqi officials said about 1,500 people died violently last month in the capital - many shot execution-style by sectarian death squads.
The deaths brought to at least 17 the number of American service members killed in Iraq this month. All but five died in Anbar, indicating the ongoing threat from Sunni insurgents at a time when attention has been focused on violence between Sunnis and Shiites in Baghdad.
Oh, there is still a Civil War...Ooops Insurgency, going on in Iraq ....it's only the 10th of the month and 17 soldiers killed already...3 today......sad...

Anything to keep the conversation away from the fact that the majority of Americans agree more with Lamont than dear leader.
Morning Moonbats.
Someone mention Rupert Murdoch? Here's what was said about him on my website yesterday.
The rot at the heart of American life starts because we have strayed far from the best thing about the country, the only thing our politics has to offer the world, democracy. It has been replaced by selfishness and cynicism and the manufactured and consciously marketed opinion that democracy isn’t worth the effort, that there’s nothing that can be done to make government the servant of the People. At worst this selfish cynicism denies that the People are worth it, that we are and never can be more than individual predators swimming in a sea of urine, that the world is a toilet. The Rupert Murdoch view of life, in short.
Dean looks very weak in that photo. None of them look wrong, though.

BP's other shoe dropped, on the pipeline shutdown...
debate in the state capital, Juneau, over whether to increase taxes on oil companies. There are also plans, remote for now, to spend about $20 billion for a natural gas pipeline that would tap the gas that is as abundant below ground here as oil seemed in the 1960’s.
Some here see the shutdown as less about protecting the environment or BP’s image than as BP flexing its muscles to influence the state debate over taxes and natural gas.
BP... “They can just shut off the valve and say, ‘O.K., Alaska, tax this,’ ”
You know, I just realized that I've never seen Kos before. Not visually oriented.
The obvious plans to get us into not just one but two more wars in the middle east are as important to stress as the disaster of Iraq and the criminal neglect of Afghanistan. The Republicans being the insane psychopaths that they demonstrate every day is probably the way to answer this.

“TERRA ALERT HIGH”
Dick Cheney spun the Lieberman defeat like this:
Mr. Cheney offered warm praise for Mr. Lieberman, who was his opponent for vice president in 2000, though he said he did not want his remarks to be construed as an endorsement of Mr. Lieberman.
He cast Mr. Lieberman’s loss in ominous terms, suggesting that it would hearten American terrorist enemies. Terrorists, he said, are “betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task.
“And when we see the Democratic Party reject one of its own, a man they selected to be their vice presidential nominee just a few short years ago, it would seem to say a lot about the state the party is in today.”
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/

He had probably, at the very least, been informed about the impending announcement of the terror plot in the U.K.
Terra alert level
severe = red
Homeland Security Advisory System
August 10, 2006 – The United States Government is raising the nation’s threat level to Severe, or Red, for commercial flights originating in the United Kingdom bound for the United States. We are also raising the threat level to High, or Orange, for all commercial aviation operating in or destined for the United States.
Currently, there is no indication of plotting within the United States. We believe the arrests of extremists engaged in a substantial plot to destroy multiple passenger aircraft flying from the United Kingdom to the United States have significantly disrupted the threat, but we cannot be sure that the threat has been entirely eliminated or the plot completely thwarted.
Due to the nature of the threat revealed by this investigation, we are prohibiting any liquids, including beverages, hair gels, and lotions from being carried on the airplane. This determination will be constantly evaluated and updated when circumstances warrant. Travelers should also anticipate additional security measures within the airport and at screening checkpoints.
All Americans, including those traveling in the transportation systems, should continue to be vigilant, take notice of their surroundings, and report suspicions items or activities to local authorities immediately.
An endorsement for Lieberman from Cheney is the kiss of death.
I foget, what's the color code for that one?

Good morning, dearest moonbats.
oh fuckme, cnn orgasming -- TERROR ALERT! TERROR ALERT! AL QAEDA! HOMEGROWN TERRORISTS!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Morning all. Well, this doesn't sound like a fake alert, anyway. But British police seem to have been on top of it. Remember-- we gotta fight them there so we don't have to fight them here. Or something like that.
That Homeland Security alert seems about right. It's the political aftermath I'm worried about.
Morning, rational people.
I'm glad Atrios is back home with his family, but I sure wish he'd either rehire Threadbot or let Attaturk post an open thread just for us early morning folks.
/whine
Remember-- we gotta fight them there so we don't have to fight them here. Or something like that.
Now that in England or Lebanon or both?
Days like today I'm happy to go to work and think about something else for awhile instead of listening to CNN all day.
OMG what on earth has Atrios posted?
Well, the British police had better have gotten this one right, because they've had two really embarassing incidents where they were so wrong it was silly.
afternoon moonbats
John Reid wants us to give up some of our freedoms
which pissed me off.

I salute your nym. I feel like Bush roadkill every day.
Moonbootica, I am listening to Mr. Reid on BBC America. He's as bad as Bush with his "evil people" BS.
just reading that 'terror plot' story now, boy i really shouldn't sleep in so late, miss all the important news
Lindsay yep, I think Reid should be called 'The Secretary For Quashing Dissent'
god knows the rascist fuckards here in Britain will latch onto this.
They put the shoe bomber in charge of anti-terrorism?
Man, I really need me some coffee.

'Mass murder terror plot' uncovered
· Threat level raised to critical
· Plot 'to blow up US-bound flights'
· Claims that 10 planes targeted
A terror plot to kill thousands of people by detonating explosives on up to 10 transatlantic flights from the UK was disrupted by police and the security services overnight, it emerged today.
If successful, the alleged plot would have caused "mass murder on an unimaginable scale", Paul Stephenson, the Metropolitan police deputy commissioner, said.
The alleged plan was to cause near simultaneous blasts on multiple flights - with planes travelling to the US a particular target - using explosives smuggled into passenger cabins inside hand luggage.
Mr Stephenson said 21 people were in custody today following raids overnight. He said he believed the threat had been thwarted, but US officials voiced fears that individuals linked to the plot could still be at large.
isn't it funny that yesterday John Reid was going on about 'curbing our freedoms' and also the introduction of terror levels and now this?
Gee, that did not take long. The story this weekend was going to be all about lamont. The repubs knew they had to change the dynamic. Now we have a high terra alert. So I guess Lamont will not be on the news shows today-like Lieberman was yesterday. Predictable.
Poll: 30% of Americans don’t know which year was 9/11
John Reid is and still is a Stalinist.
which would probaly explain why he is such an authortarian arsehole.
The Foreign Ministry is under pressure from Israeli citizens to resume its boycott of the BBC and to withdraw credentials from its reporters due to "one-sided" reports on the war in Lebanon, Israeli diplomatic officials said Wednesday.
yea, why doesn't the BBC show the all the massive slaughterand destruction in Israel, like they do in Lebonan?...
The occupation of Lebanon continues apace.

"Hubbell, however, told me this afternoon the attack affected only joe2006.com's Web site and email"
You are right it doesn't add up... myHOSTCAMP.com's own mainpage is still down. I haven't checked any of the other websites on that server.
"Right now, he theorizes that an as-yet-unreported flaw in Joomla was exploited by a hacker to bring the site down."

BA grounds short-haul flights from Heathrow
British Airways today cancelled all short-haul flights from Heathrow, as other airports faced chaotic scenes and huge queues after a major anti-terrorism operation.
Scenes of extraordinary disruption unfolded as unwitting holidaymakers found their trips were delayed, if not cancelled, following authorities moved the terrorism state of alert to "critical".
British Airways cancelled all short-haul flights in and out of Heathrow, and by late morning, was forced to axe more than 200 of the 550 flights it normally operates out of the west London airport daily.
Short-haul passengers previously told to wait patiently and expect delays, were now being told to go home or find somewhere to stay for the time being.
Oooh, you know this is serious: NPR is playing its incidental martial music.
I'm not sure which bothers me more-- that 30 % of Americans don't know the year of the 9/11 attacks, or that 5 % don't know the month and day.
The occupation of Lebanon continues apace.
Occupation? Why does the MSM always use that word? It’s just an incursion.

Oh, this explains it:
This memory black hole is essentially the problem of the older crowd: 48 percent of those who did not know were between the ages of 55 and 64, and 47 percent were older than 65, according to the poll.
Okay, after digging around a while on this whole joe2006.com huzzah, I've discovered that:
a)joe2006.com moved its DNS, hosting, and email services to godaddy.com on the 8th (election day) Strangely the website still has the accusatory screed about Lamont days later without the least bit of proof.
b)myhostcamp.com - the $15 guys... well, see for yourself pathetically redirected to http://suspended.page
So No-mentum could have gotten his site up and running in the last few days with his new hosting company, but has chosen to stick with bearing false witness against Lamont, while not acknowledging the company responsible for keeping joe2006.com on the internets has gone poof
when jo-no puts up his independent web site, he jist may not be able to cover the $15 site fee...

Anti-terror critics just don't get it, says Reid
· Politicians, judges and media 'put security at risk'
· Home secretary hints at more legislation to come
John Reid yesterday accused the government's anti-terror critics of putting national security at risk by their failure to recognise the serious nature of the threat facing Britain. "They just don't get it," he said.
The home secretary yesterday gave the thinktank Demos his strongest hint yet that a new round of anti-terror legislation is on the way this autumn by warning that traditional civil liberty arguments were not so much wrong as just made for another age.
"Sometimes we may have to modify some of our own freedoms in the short term in order to prevent their misuse and abuse by those who oppose our fundamental values and would destroy all of our freedoms in the modern world," he said.

Israeli jets strike Beirut and Bekaa
Israeli warplanes have continued their raids on Lebanon, hitting a historic lighthouse in densely populated west Beirut and killing one man in the eastern Bekaa Valley.
A disused lighthouse in the heart of the Lebanese capital was hit by Israeli strikes on Thursday, damaging the top of the French colonial-era structure.
Local television showed live video of the damage, with part of the tower's roof blown off.
The strike was the first on Beirut proper since Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of Hezbollah, issued a warning to Israel on August 4, saying that his fighters would fire rockets at Tel Aviv if Israel hit the Lebanese capital.
Man, someone with some mad skillz put that GOP page together!

Ministers hold emergency overnight Cobra meeting
John Reid, the home secretary, said today that the UK's state of terrorist alert had been raised to "critical" and promised to keep the public "regularly informed" of developments following the disruption of a plot to blow up US-bound flights.
According to Downing Street, Tony Blair, who is in the Caribbean on holiday, has been "in constant touch" with his ministerial colleagues about the unfolding events and spoke to President Bush overnight about the situation.
With Mr Blair away, Mr Reid took the lead on handling the biggest terrorist threat since the 7/7 bombings as it emerged that the police had foiled a plan to cause near-simultaneous explosions on approximately three planes travelling from the UK to the US, using explosives smuggled on board inside hand luggage.
Mr Reid spent most of the night in meetings in his capacity as chair of Cobra - the civil contingencies committee which leads responses to national crises - before making a public announcement which harked back to wartime bulletins.

At least the guys were caught. Here, the planes would have been blown up, everyone would have died, and George would have stumbled out of his fortified "Armadillo Den" and mumbled something about how no one could have anticipated that the "terrist" would do such a thing.
And then wipe his ass with the Constitution and go back to drinking.

Hezbollah denies Iranian fighter report
Hezbollah has denied that Iranian fighters were among its forces battling Israeli troops who have begun to advance deeper into southern Lebanon.
Israel's Channel 10 television reported on Wednesday that members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard force had been found among dead Hezbollah members killed by Israeli forces in the south of Lebanon.
Citing diplomatic sources, the report said the Iranians were identified by documents found on their bodies, but gave no further details on how many were discovered or when.

Red alert after police 'foil air terror plot'
* 'Liquid chemical devices in passenger bags' suspected
* US flights from UK were targeted, say Washington sources
* 21 arrests: main players 'accounted for' says Reid
* MI5 raises the threat level to critical - attack imminent
A terrorist plot to blow up aircraft in mid-flight has been thwarted, Scotland Yard said. Hand luggage has been banned at UK airports and MI5 has raised the threat level to "critical".
A statement on the MI5 website said: "This means that an attack is expected imminently and indicates an extremely high level of threat to the UK."
Sources say that liquid chemical devices were suspected. It is believed that the aim was to smuggle the devices on board the aircraft in hand luggage and that the attacks would have been targeted at flights from the UK to the USA. In Washington, counter-terrorism officials said United, American, Continental airlines were targeted.
Any day now we'll head in and liberate Scotland from their whiskey.

Attack near Iraq shrine kills 30
A bombing at a market in the southern Iraqi city of Najaf has killed up to 30 people and injured more than 50 others.
Reports say the attack was carried out at a police checkpoint by a suicide bomber wearing an explosive harness.
The explosion occurred near the Imam Ali shrine, one of the most sacred sites for Shia Muslims and a key centre of pilgrimage.
Najaf is a predominantly Shia city 160 km (100 miles) south of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
It has been the scene of some of the most deadly sectarian attacks since the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
The police did not identify the suspects or their origin, though Paul Stephenson, the deputy metropolitan police commissioner for London, said "community leaders" had been alerted about the police action, using a code word for the British Muslim community.

Well, if you want to hijack planes you do it on Tuesdays, the lightest travel day. If you want to kill a lot of people on the planes, you do it on Thursday, the heaviest travel day. But you'd think these would-be terrorists would learn to keep a little quiet about their plots. No doubt we'll later learn these are wannabe terrorist teenagers, without a clue.
The U.S. govt. is going to have to arrest some people so it doesn't look bad. Don't want the British getting all the credit.
Security scare hits shares
Shares today retreated after the government said police and security services had foiled a "very significant" terrorist plot to blow up aircraft in mid-air.
The FTSE 100 was down 1.2% at 5789.6 at lunchtime, as the terrorism scare paralysed air travel in the UK.
British Airways, Europe's third-largest airline, cancelled all short-haul flights from Heathrow, as other airports faced chaotic scenes and huge queues after a major anti-terrorism operation.
Passengers who were travelling were told they could not take on any hand luggage on government advice, and that no items such as laptops or mobile phones would be allowed on board.
BA shares were down 4% at 374.25p after having fallen as much as 5% as the airline and its rivals began calculating the costs of severe disruption to air travel. Other airlines also their shares drop. Easyjet was down 3.1% and Ryanair lost 4.7%.

Heavy fighting surrounds Marjayoun
Israeli troops, backed by tanks and armoured vehicles, are said to have taken control of Marjayoun in south Lebanon, amid reports of heavy fighting around the town.
Aljazeera reported on Thursday that Hezbollah fighters were engaged in fierce clashes with Israeli troops in the Christian town about 8km inside Lebanon following reports that Israeli troops were moving on foot through the town.
The historic market town is in a strategic position on high ground near the Litani river and is the largest town in the south Bekaa valley.
A resident told Reuters that Hezbollah fighters hit two Israeli tanks near the town during fierce clashes.
Police arrested 21 people in London, its suburbs and in Birmingham as part of a major covert counterterrorism operation that had lasted several months, Deputy Commissioner Paul Stephenson said.
-------------------------
So, does this mean that it's possible to prevent terror attacks without declaring war on London, its suburbs and Birmingham and reducing them to rubble?
Who'd a thunk it?
Sounds like Chertoff is trying to take the credit for this.
No doubt we'll later learn these are wannabe terrorist teenagers, without a clue.
Did these terrorists have the explosives with them? I haven't seen any mention of that, although it would seem to have been a good question for an intrepid reporter to ask.

They used up the fear value of orange; in order to scare the crap out of people they have to use red now.
BTW, is this one of those examples that prove law enforcement can't stop terrorism?
Police focus on liquid threat
The initial speculation over the nature of the alleged terrorist plot has focused on the fact that almost all liquids have been banned from hand luggage. Not even baby milk will be allowed on board flights departing Britain today unless an accompanying passenger is prepared to taste it in front of security staff.
The Metropolitan police Deputy Commissioner, Paul Stephenson, told a news conference that police believed the aim of the plot was to smuggle explosives onto aeroplanes in hand luggage and to detonate them in flight.
Bottles of water, contact lens solution and liquid medicine are among the items now barred from hand luggage. The Home Office website added that duty-free liquids would also be removed from passengers boarding flights to the US.
Nitro-glycerine hidden in several duty-free bottles of "gin"?
Some terrrist expert seemed to be suggesting ordinary alcoholic spirits (ie actual scotch or gin etc), mixed with some sort of "chemical accellerant".

British troops fighting in Iraq are under-equipped and overstretched, a group of MPs has warned.
The all-party defence committee said the soldiers needed more helicopters and better-protected patrol vehicles to shield them from roadside bombs.
Committee members visited Iraq in June and also say operations in Afghanistan are being done on a "shoe string".
Defence Secretary Des Browne insisted that British forces in the country were "stretched, but not overstretched".
Unless liquid TNT was smuggled aboard, I am unaware of any liquid that would be explosive enough to bring down a plane in the volumes that could be smuggled aboard in a carry-on.

Morning,
I have my own artist's interpretation
"But they're up in arms about a ME photographer who photoshopped the smoke of battle."
Funny that they don't dispute the death and damage caused, merely the smoke.
For laughs I checked out the Rabid Shitzu's site yesterday, and that's all that bitch is about right now--All Photoshoping, all the Time! "Proving" how three or four pictures are "fakes", and therefore proving that the IDF really ISN'T killing all the people the lib media is claiming.
Next up: checking out the Zapruder Film to show that it was really Oliver Stone who put in the "back, and to the left" scene.
Even duty free hit in hand luggage ban
Hand luggage has been banned on UK flights, including liquids and even spectacle cases. Baby milk is only allowed if parents taste it in front of security staff and people flying from the UK to the US will not be able to take duty free perfume or alcohol.
A Department of Transport spokesman said: "With immediate effect, the following arrangements apply to all passengers starting their journey at a UK airport and to those transferring between flights at a UK airport."
All cabin baggage must be processed as hold baggage and carried in the hold of passenger aircraft departing UK airports.
"Gonzales - "Everyday is September 12."
Yeah, fuckface. And whose job was it to make sur eevery day was September 10, huh?
.
So, does this mean that it's possible to prevent terror attacks without declaring war on London, its suburbs and Birmingham and reducing them to rubble?
My thoughts exactly.
God, Abu sounds like he's sporting wood so bad it's affecting his ability to speak.
CBC reporter in Beruit says he was sitting in a cafe when an Israeli missile came in, destroyed a building down the street. The building was abandoned, but once held a radio station-- during the french mandate in the 1940s.
Marwood: I thought when he said that: "And because of the US, every day is Sept. 11 in Iraq."
Very true.
I hope some reporter today has the stones to ask for an explanation of the connection between Iraq and the story out of Britain today.
Nasrallah vows to continue fight
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, says his movement backs the Lebanese army's deployment to the south but that Washington is trying to impose Israeli demands on Lebanon through a draft UN resolution.
In a televised speech on Wednesday, Nasrallah said that a seven-point plan presented by the Lebanese government was the least the country should accept as part of a draft resolution to end the fighting.
He also gave a deeply negative assessment of the plan, saying "the least we can describe this [draft resolution] is as unfair and unjust.
I have my own artist's interpretation
Why can I never remember NOT to drink coffee when I go to RH?
everyday is halloween. gop theme song.
arrrrrrrrrrrrgh.
So when do they wake up George to tell him about this?
Shorter Chertoff/Gonzales press conference:
Panic for panic's sake.
'declutter your bag or else!'
I suppose it'd be pointless to remind everyone how much I hate these people for what they've done to America.
So this whole "no liquids, hairsprays, or gels" is gonna hurt Rush's travel.
K-Y is pretty expensive in the Dominican Republic.

i'd like to add I hate what Blair and his NuLab flunkies have done to Britain

I just stopped a terrorist plot to not make me coffee.
So when do they wake up George to tell him about this?
Depends on when he's done sleepin' off that bottle of Jack from last night.
"Be very, very scared. But enjoy your trip! Go shopping!"
Code RED! GOD, I AM SO SCARED: HOLD ME!
De-clutter your bag and enjoy your trip. Thank you. Vote Republican or the Democrats will let you die.

Taliban clashes with Afghan police
Afghan police and Taliban fighters have been engaged in clashes in the southern Kandahar province.
The battle was triggered after eight police officers were killed in an ambush on a main road west of Kandahar city on Wednesday.
Yousuf Stanizai, a spokesman for the interior ministry, said 12 Taliban members had been killed and that the fighting was ongoing.
However, Mawlavi Samad, a local Taliban commander, said only one Taliban fighter had died while 15 policemen had been killed. There was no independent verification for either side's claims.
My own investigation.
You didn't selected Joe, and NOW look what happens!
I fully expect Joe to issue a press release taking credit for foiling the terror plot, and for it to be posted on his website. Once it's back up.
"But they're up in arms about a ME photographer who photoshopped the smoke of battle."

That was my whole point when I first blogged about Chuckles' BIG SCOOP! And I was told by my new winger friends that the point was MEDIA DISTORTION! Then when I pointed out the Saddam statue thing, they said that's TOTALLY DIFFERENT!
"Be very, very scared. But enjoy your trip! Go shopping!"
This is all a plot by the terrorist to keep us from bringing back duty-free booze.
Nitro-glycerine hidden in several duty-free bottles of "gin"?
I stand corrected. The problem with nitro is that it is highly unstable. It would be very hard to get this on a plane without detonating it first.
So now we see the real results of the Western war culture. Good time to buy stock in travel size toiletries and cosmetics and franchises that can sell them in airports to travelers on their way off the planes. Hope if you travel in the future you are able to hold your bowels and bladders because they probably will seal off the toilets on planes next.
As opposed to a society governed by a monarchy or dictator where the people have no say in what their government and military do, all adult citizens of a democratic society are directly responsible and morally culpable for the actions of their governments and are therefore fair targets for military actions (described as "terrorism" by those democratic governments). We are morally equal to soldiers because our government and military are carrying out the desires of the majority when they wage war against others. By living and traveling with our children, we are doing exactly the same as the "terrorists" who we use as an excuse to kill children because they "hide" among the general population. We only use the terrorist terminology to excuse equivalent evil actions.
This plan was well advanced. They had drawerings in crayons.
I fully expect Joe to issue a press release taking credit for foiling the terror plot, and for it to be posted on his website. Once it's back up.
The $15 is in the mail as we speak!
Israel destroys Gaza homes
ISRAELI warplanes destroyed the homes of two Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip today after residents said they received telephone calls from the military warning them to evacuate.
Neither militant – one a member of the Islamic Jihad and the other of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades – nor their relatives were hurt in the air strikes on Beit Hanoun, a town on Gaza's northern border with Israel where there has been intense fighting during a more than 5-year-old Palestinian uprising.
An Israeli military spokesman confirmed the Beit Hanoun homes were targeted, saying they contained weapons caches.
One of the destroyed buildings was three storeys high, and residents reported blast damage to neighbouring homes.
Looking at one of the reporters at the press conference, I'm wondering whether explosives can be hidden in a toupee.

Aha! So George's "bald fetish" is actually just anti-terrorism technique - make sure there's no C4 hidden under a latex scalp!
Nitroglycerin dissolved in alcohol will be desensitized. It will burn before it will explode unless it is so concentrated that it could detonate just by being jostled.
Ah. Yes, the plotters were in the U.K., but there are bogeymen EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD!
Especially in D.C.
Flights halted as UK airports hit
Hundreds of thousands of air passengers faced travel chaos today with many flights cancelled and Heathrow closed to incoming short-haul services.
British Airways cancelled all short-haul flights in and out of Heathrow until 3pm and by late morning had had to axe more than 200 of the 550 flights it normally operates out of the west London airport daily.
Passengers due to travel on easyJet and Ryanair flights from Stansted were told to leave the airport and rebook flights.
Nitroglycerin dissolved in alcohol will be desensitized. It will burn before it will explode unless it is so concentrated that it could detonate just by being jostled.
Which means they'd never get the stuff through the security lines without it blowing then and there.
And what snivelling toady Howard has done to Australia.
Imagine having the opportunity to be the leader of a modern progressive and wealthy country at the beginning of the 21st Century. Or, the charismatic and wealthy leader of a group of dispirited and angry young islamic dudes.
And then think what thes vulgar, degenerate sacks-of-shit have done to us all when they had that opportunity.
I suspect that Jesus, Allah and the Devil are in rare agreement about how to rain Karma down upon these fucking turds-of-a-feather.

We can't tell you anything as we just found about it from the Brits so we have no answers. We just felt the need to get this out to the public because of the upcoming elections.
Chertoff's stock broker is at this moment exercising his put options on airline stocks.

Exactly.
Arctic thawed in prehistoric global warming
The last time massive amounts of greenhouse gases were released into the atmosphere, the North Pole was an ice-free expanse of open ocean that was teeming with tropical organisms, a study has found.
Scientists have discovered that the complete disappearance of the Arctic sea ice, 55 million years ago, coincided with a dramatic increase in concentrations of carbon dioxide or methane in the atmosphere - which must have caused global warming.
After analysiing the sediments on the floor of the Arctic Ocean, an international team of researchers working for the Arctic Core Expedition (Acex) came to the conclusion that the region was once extremely warm, unusually wet, and ice-free.
I am become Skeletor.
Seems to me that Britain is the only country left in the world willing to participate in these little charades.

Reid attacks judges who hamper 'life and death' terrorism battle
John Reid accused some politicians, judges and liberal commentators of hindering the "life and death" fight with al-Qa'ida as he signalled he was ready to push for new anti-terrorism laws. The Home Secretary said terrorists espousing the same ideology as those active in Iraq and Afghanistan represented the greatest threat to Britain since the Second World War.
And he spelt out his frustration that the nation was using legislation dating back half a century to combat a 21st-century breed of "unconstrained" terrorists driven by a perverse morality.
Mr Reid has overhauled the structure of the Home Office and the immigration services, as well as "rebalanced" the criminal justice system in his first three months in the job. He said yesterday that he wanted to turn to the "overarching challenges" facing Britain as he delivered a bleak assessment of the determination of "fascist individuals" to wreak havoc in this country.

I'm sorry, but didn't Nobel kind of solve that issue? What's next, rumours of Basil Zaharoff meddling in world affairs?

How, um, convenient. Not that I don't believe this is a serious plot that's been disrupted; but Reid is going to hang all manner of legal bullshit on the back of it.
I just flew from Myrtle Beach to Boston on Tuesday. The airport in MB was nearly empty when we went through security. I jokingly asked the agent in front of the "empty your pockets and take off your belt" table if I had to take of my sneakers, too. He hesitated and grinned and said, "Naw" and then yelled to someone on the other side of the scanners to 'check this one'. He said just go through. They then made me sit while they swabbed all over my ratty old sneakers. For once in my life I wished I had stepped in doggy poo recently, just to see what the machine would do. After this episode in London they'll have to swab your toobrush and run it through a machine before you can get on a plane.

Remember the Mythbusters show with the concrete truck?
That's what the cab you took to the airport would look like after the first pothole or speedbump.
I'm sorry, but didn't Nobel kind of solve that issue?
No. He used diatomaceous earth, which is not a liquid.
GWPA: I am an expert in the field that I wrote about. NG is a very common pharmaceutical, and you don't see people exploding when they use it.

Especially if you want your explosive device to be spic and span. Nobody likes a sloppy device.
Why the big concern over blowing up planes over the Atlantic?
I'm sure the people involved would have notified the media that everyone aboard would have ten minutes to evacuate.
The only thing strong about Repoops is their capacity for delusion.

That's hilarious.
It is now obvious that the retarded red-necks have risen in the ranks of the GOP.
GOPPERS used to just shun them and push them in the background while giggling nervously that someone might have heard them, or saw them...NOW they hold real power in the GOP.
What a joke that party has become. Too stupid for words.
I'd say I have pity in my heart for they know not how much of an ass-whoopin they are about to receive...but they really have it coming....and I can't wait.
MARKOS, MARKOS, MARKOS, MARKOS!
wooo!
Cool that they got a pic from Howard Dean's show-stopping rendition of "I Write The Songs" from the karaoke contest at last year's DNC Christmas party.
To me, the funny part is that they picked aweful photos of 4/5 people there. I think the Michael Moore shot is actually pretty good. I wonder if he has a fan at GOP.com
Of course, Mr. Moore isn't even a Democrat (not that the media ever actually points that out.)
In the heartland, we have moral values and God.
Two words: Gein. Dahmer.

AKA BTK, and, perhaps not coincidentally, registered Republican and (former) president of the congregational council of the Christ Lutheran Church in Wichita (Heartland), Kansas.
Markos looks like a thug in that pic. The idiots couldn't find a pic of him looking more crazy?
Wow, they actually put up a decent picture of Moore and Kos. Weird.
It's not a mistake. Moore looks like he's being rogered by Murtha- I don't think the picture was at exactly that angle, it's tilted a little to the left like he's bending over. And Kos looks like a hacker, with the sleepy eyes and the insolent little smile. And of course the Photoshopped hitler 'stache on Dean...
It's pretty slick work for a quick thrown-together picture. Somebody with real sophistication and a SomethingAwful knack for evilness was very busy I mean, look at the positioning of Moore and Murtha. It's fucking perfect down to the facial expressions.
