The latest on FrankenGate: New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer is investigating the Air Scam-America scandal involving the $875,000 slush fund.
If only Atrios were to give the patented Media-Matters "Kiss Of Death Endorsement" to Spitzer, the Air Enron crooks would win the day. It's always worked in the past; in the last week alone the Atrios- MeidaMatters "KODE" sent yet another Republican (Jean Schmidt R-OH) to Congress!
in this book, the author recounts how one fundie mormon subsect is so inbred that the women just give birth to "blobs of protoplasm."
Three fundies came to my house this morning. Nice folks, a young man, a young woman, and a teen. But the man stuck a Bible in my face and started saying, "most folks have some kind of religion, but..."
At which point I told them I wasn't interested and shut the door. And felt bad. Not about the fundy stuff, but that I was rude to nice folks. I can't tell you how bad I feel about being rude to nice folks.

Ms. Sheehan spoke to Stephen Hadley, NSA, and deputy White House chief of staff Joe Hagin.
(snip)
"They (the advisers) said we are in Iraq because they believed Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, that the world's a better place with Saddam gone and that we're making the world a safer place with what we're doing over there," Sheehan said in a telephone interview after the meeting.
(snip)
She said Hagin told her, "I want to assure you that he (Bush) really does care."
"And I said if he does care, why doesn't he come out and talk to me."
I'm stepping back in for a second with a film recommendation: I'm about to watch Salesman, a Maysles brothers documentary. I watch it several times a year. If you haven't seen it - see it. It will stay with you.
Yeah, I'm sure Bush cares enough to snap to some flunky, "Get out there and get rid of that woman so I can go pitch horseshoes!"

"CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A city council candidate dropped out of the race Friday after it was disclosed that he posted comments to a white supremacist Internet bulletin board more than 4,000 times.
Doug Hanks said the postings were fictional and designed to win white supremacists' trust as he researched a novel he was writing. He said the book was also meant to appeal to white supremacists."

Hi guys:
Back from a week offline in P.Q.--Montreal and Quebec City. Beautiful, even for tourist traps. Not a yellow ribbon, Jesus fish or Glad I Voted For Bush sticker to be seen; good food, like that.
One of their stories you might not have heard about is the arrest of Marc Emery, a B.C. marijuana legalization provocateur, on conspiracy charges (not actual drug charges) at the behest of the US Dept. of Justice so that he could be extradited and tried here. Seems some think he's a jerk, but most think ill of the affair.
Oh, yes, and the war seems to be going just as well as when I left. Nice up there. Showed the 13 yo McGill; she could do much, much worse.

You tried to hold us down
You tried to hold us back
You tried to make us wrong
You tried to make us crack
You wanted to see us cry
You wanted to see us leave
You didn't count on the tide
You didn't count on the pride
You didn't count on me
I am a giant
And you will not make me fall
And you will not make me crawl
I am a giant
And I'm not alone
Winds of change have blown
And walls come tumbling down
And I learned from my mistakes
Pick myself up of the floor
I have learned just what it takes
Now I am stronger than before
And we are standing side by side
We are determined now to win
We come too far
And we've got the scares
And we are never going back into the shadows again
I am a giant
And you will not make me fall
And you will not make me crawl
I am a giant
And I'm not alone
Winds of change have blown
How the walls come tumbling down

You want to know what a society looks like when it is in the middle of moral self-repair? Look around."
Okay, David: here goes.
An illegal war resulting in a hundred thousand deaths?
GIs extorting money from Iraqis for protection?
A government that has been led to the brink of insolvency by the greed of the damned people in charge?
A moral tower - Halliburton - stealing money with great pleasure and no consequences?
Hate legitimized by the government?
Mendacious policies resulting in increasing misery for our poorest residents?
A President of the United States who lies to the people consistently and with obvious contempt?
An environment that is going to hell?
People without jobs? (no matter what the damned government says)
A lot of people living paycheck to paycheck hoping for a lottery win to increase their earnings?
University prices nearly beyond the reach of anyone not wealthy?
and and and
WHERE IN THE FUCK DOES THIS BOZO GET OFF TALKING ABOUT MORALITY AND THE RIGHT? THEY HAVE NO FUCKING MORALS!

The most important distinction of a democracy is that the majority can not impose its will on a minority.
Of course, for people with limited intellect and imagination, such as yourself, it comes as no surprise this most important point is lost on you.

If you want it to be about marijuana, and the insanity of pounding its users with horrific penalties in a country where there are probably hundreds of places to get a drink within a five mile radius, well, we can do that, too.
WGG: thanks as always. Medicine, in which she's not at all interested, is also wonderful up there. Know next to nothin' 'bout ethnography, other that whenever I read something about it, it induces humility, if not guilt, in me. Speaking of which, a moment of silence is due on August 6.

"Halliburton sources said the company sold centrifuges and detonators to be used specifically for a nuclear reactor and oil and natural gas drilling parts for well projects to Oriental Oil Kish."
Theres a theory going round that the plame thing is a cover for the selling of nuke technology to Iran via the bush junta.
So why are oil companies reporting record earnings if they are "just passing costs along?"

PWombat - the matter of US agents busting Canadians has very, very little to do with drugs of any kind.
It's sovreignty. It's a question of whether the US has any right to tell Canada what to do.
This is critical. Most Canadians, including those down here are at the edge of their seats in horror and anticipation. We are not amused. What Canada does about drugs, marijuana or knitting worsted is absolutely nothing and less than Adam's Off Ox to the SOB's in Washington. And we have Mounties, dammit.
Your girl should be impressed by McGill, btw. It and Montreal are darned impressive. Montreal it is who is helping my dear colleague with non-Hodgkins by using a stem cell infusion. What a surprise. Poor old Montreal.

basically, a ramada's just a lean-to, a wall-less shed, like the structures under which the navajo set their looms (though not called ramadas by the dineh, i think)...
the ones in northern NM which have the tin roofs are built, iirc, with a slight to moderate pitch in the direction of the nearest grade/slope. basically, if the roof's flat, you don't mebbe wanna use tin...unless there's a pitch to drain it, it could get rusty, even in the desert...rust never sleeps, as you know...

The WH outs our own CIA agent.
The WH gives Halliburton a bid-free contract after Halliburton has been convicted of cheating the government previously. And Halliburton is cheating again.
Halliburton now suspected of selling critical nuke technology to Iran.
You don't have to be the brightest bulb on the tree to realize that the Bushboy regime is corrupt and has sold out to every rich donor inside and outside the US (especially the Saudis)!

Um Gar.... wrong again.
"He spent three years at Harvard College, having entered as a sophomore, graduating in 1976 summa cum laude, with a Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1979, he received his law degree magna cum laude from Harvard Law School (where he was managing editor of the Harvard Law Review)."
with a slight to moderate pitch in the direction of the nearest grade/slope. basically, if the roof's flat, you don't mebbe wanna use tin...unless there's a pitch to drain it, it could get rusty, even in the desert...rust never sleeps, as you know...
True enough. But all this is is the 'patio' extension across the west side of the house. The previous owners put up the ramada which extends over the living room - just the equivalent of two sticks and a roof. But that leaves me with the study and my bedroom out in the open. I'm going to put down a brick floor on that side and an Arizona ramada - the staked roof - there. Right now the LV part has the same roofing as the rest of the house - JohnsManville asbestos tile. But for the extension - tin just has such a nice sound. And rust is not so very bad a thing....

CRAWFORD, Texas - The angry mother of a fallen U.S. soldier staged a protest near President Bush's ranch Saturday, demanding an accounting from Bush of how he has conducted the war in Iraq.
Supported by more than 50 demonstrators who chanted, "W. killed her son!" Cindy Sheehan told reporters: "I want to ask the president, 'Why did you kill my son? What did my son die for?'" Sheehan, 48, didn't get to see Bush, but did talk about 45 minutes with national security adviser Steve Hadley and deputy White House chief of staff Joe Hagin, who went out to hear her concerns.
Appreciative of their attention, yet undaunted, Sheehan said she planned to continue her roadside vigil, except for a few breaks, until she gets to talk to Bush. Her son, Casey, 24, was killed in Sadr City, Iraq, on April 4, 2004. He was an Army specialist, a Humvee mechanic.
Cindy, start shouting *coward, coward, coward*.
Bush is a coward.
Worst. President. Evah.

But res, it means you can't watch John Wayne Day on Turner Classic Movies! (Or Shelley Winters day either.)
Last night, as the monsoon rolled in and roiled, with Arthur trying to dig in under the equipale, I was thinking about extending the ramada - with a tin roof. How nice it would sound. The last time I'd heard that was in Abq, in a little new home development downtown, where all the houses were built of adobe, and had galleries of all things! And all the galleries and front porches were covered with tin - as I looked into windows and the rain drenched me, I wanted the very same thing one day...

the prattling of rain on a tin roof is one of the least understood, most esoteric pleasures the desert dweller knows...
Sorry, I'm back - 'cause I have to tell this story:
I just ran up to a little convenience store to get more Pacifico Clara and as I'm paying, the 50ish clerk says this, "I'm listening to Robert Kennedy, Jr."
It was clear to me that for this woman the minimum wage convenience store job was not just a hobby. This was her livelihood. Though I am in a blue state, I am in a very red community (okay, so I'm not broke - sue me) and so I was surprised when she said that. I replied (sotto voce):
"Bobby Kennedy? Are you listen to Air America?"
"Yes. I listen every day".
"That's great, we're probably the only two around here."
Then she gave me the punch line: "I tell every customer who comes in here to tune their radios to AM 1090."
I helped her make change, fattened the tip jar and came home to tell all of you. We're gonna prevail; I think we're actually gonna prevail.

Halliburton, oil companies passing on costs..............Jesus. We are getting cornholed like America has never been cornholed before and it is not even in the fucking news. Cheney planning a nuke attack on Iran "in the event of another 9/11" should send shivers down even Bush voter's spines. Not even on page A-28.
"We have the votes, so you all can just shut up, because we run the two most important branches of the Government.

You mean "they" right? What actually do you run? Have they given you a high overlord uniform? I enjoy how these folks prattle on, seemingly as if they actually got something from the monsters they put into office and now support.
You have nothing. You run nothing. You are a patsy. Talk to us when you can at least demonstrate you are part of the conspiracy and not simply an idiot waiting for the grand rewards that will never come.

What is utterly incredible is that virtually all of Bushboy's public statements and speeches are lies. He just gave one today in a radio address where he took credit for increased job picture thanks to his inane tax cuts for the rich.
