The new threads always happen as I'm leaving. Nothing personal, I'm sure.
I really have other things I should be doing... why do I keep procrastinating?
Am I addicted to stress?
An open thread...
I'd hit that.

They don't hide the dirt very well, though.
Threadbot called it for Schmidt.
Just started reading Louise Welsh's "The Cutting Room." Has anyone here read it?
SoCal has cooled off a little today and we have the chance of showers tomorrow, which would make Autumn fall on a Sunday this year(quite rare).
In celebration, I intend to make the first mega-pot of soup of the season.
They don't hide the dirt very well, though.
Ironing them is a bitch, too.
Though my parents were correct in telling me when I was a kid that the grass won't mow itself, they didn't tell me that if I ignore it long enough, the wife will get pissed and go out there and do it.
I have other priorities right now.
Anyone else notice the comments being wiped out of archived pages? What is thread today is on the fire tomorrow, burned up in the oven.
My favorite tinfoil theory of the day:
the CIA regulars are so pissed at this admin that they are ensuring that relevant information makes it into Fitzgerald's hands.
They don't like Rove-types feeling free to out their agents, and it's payback time.

That or idle chatter, political speculation, punning, witicisms and †r00l-baiting.
Who can say?
Hey, Rove! Watch that careless talk.
Several WWII posters about careless talk. Ripe for photoshoping goodness.

Just something I saw yesterday, don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet.

tubino, I don't think that's so far-fetched at all. I wouldn't be a bit suprised if that were exactly the case.

SteveNS,
Heh. I went down to the gym earlier, shot the shit with friends for 1/2 an hour, finally got around to getting on a machine, then decided I didn't really want to be there.
Off shortly to do laundry and sit on the bench outside and read during the rinse cycle.
The sun! What is that!
fourlegsgood, has your amigo returned?

LJ/Aquaria
Damn, girl, haven't seen you around here in forever!!! 
I know this question gets asked and asked and asked, but ....
what good did it do to divulge Joe Wilson's wife as a CIA undercover agent.
Besides forcing her out of a job how does this 'get at' or punish Joe Wilson?
It certainly does not hurt them financialy...maybe her pride in losing a job she did well andbenefited the country doing...?
Are they really that stupid to jepardise the whole lot of them for some petty little 'gotch'?
or am i missing something
tubino:
I don't consider that tinfoil at all. You just don't fuck with the spooks.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - A federal judge dismissed the state Republican Party's effort to get its former insurer to cover nearly $1 million the party paid to settle a lawsuit over a political eavesdropping scandal.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis W. Dohnal wrote in a 17-page opinion that Union Insurance Co. was not obliged to cover damages arising from crimes GOP officers committed to benefit the party.
Now, that's fuckin' funny.

He came back about an hour later. He just didn't want to come in.

couser: or am i missing something
Missing two things:
1.) The petty vindictiveness of the GOP, putting party loyalty and perceptions of infallability abpout all else, including national security;
2.) The outing was a shot across the bow to any and all who know what a weak and propagandized case had been made to justify the invasion of Iraq. It was the horse's head in the bed. Anyone knowing that our own Administration-in-power would out a CIA asset, well... that's a good sign that there's nothing they wouldn't do to keep anyone in line.

Couser, if the intent was not only to discredit Wilson and his wife, but also to issue a warning to all other CIA and other intelligence folks that careers could easily be ruined if the line was not toed, then perhaps the move makes more sense.

what good did it do to divulge Joe Wilson's wife as a CIA undercover agent.

Here's my sprack: WHIG was looking to wipe out Plame's CIA group, which was working on weapons of mass destruction, even as it was trying to intimidate any critics other than Wilson from going public about the tarted-up "intelligence."
The entire premise of the White House "outing" Valerie Plame to avenge itself on Joe Wilson is stupid. A pulp fiction writer wouldn't come up with such tripe.
Playing the hitler card:
Ads in Va. Governor Race Mention Hitler

Why would a member of the "liberal media" ask a dem candidte for gov. if he would execute hitler? Dem Kaine plays the God card but it's still not good enough for the reporter:

That's my take too. I think Plame was the target and Wilson just happy collateral damage. Wilson is a pretty good looking guy, smart, debonair (sp?), and getting him was just the icing.
Oh, no! Sunnis voting in large numbers. Voting no.

The Owls are not what they seem.
Speaking of owls--real ones--I've got 'em in the woods here, and I hear the standard "who-who" sometimes at night. But a few times, there's been this long drawn out, rising screedh like something out of a horror movie. First time I heard it, I ran outside with the rifle. When it started, it sounded like a woman being attacked in the woods, but by the time it finished, I thought Aliens had landed. A buddy said, when I told him I had screech owls on my place, no, them's just hoot owls; they do that sometimes.
I don't think I ever wanna hear a real screech owl...

If these socialist rectal thermometers could dig up Che Guevara and hang a medal around his neck, they'd do it with moist eyes and starched pants. They just gave the anti-American Mohammed el-Baradei their little peace prize for no apparent reason, just as they gave the worst President of my lifetime his own medal a few years ago ---as an explicit rebuke to his own country. And the wretched bastard took it, too.

As a matter of fact, Saddam was himself a terrorist, as were his sons and the great bulk of his Ba'athist regime. Iraq was a safe haven for many of the world's most notorious terrorists, including Abu Nidal, Abu Abbas, and Abdul Yasin, the guy who mixed the chemicals used in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

Apologies if this has been mentioned earlier today, but I happened to read this in the print edition of the Times this morning and it turned my stomach.
I don't know how the Administration's lawyers can make these arguments; I believe that if I were working for them and I were asked to advocate that people who are being held without a charge, without a hearing, for more than two years in defiance of the Supreme Court's decision a year ago should be prevented from talking over the phone to families, I would choose to quit rather than to be a part of such a soul-destroying bunch. Then again, I rather doubt I would have ever been working for this bunch of sociopaths in the first place.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 (AP) - Terrorism suspects on a hunger strike at the American detention center at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, should not be allowed to speak in person or even by telephone with relatives and friends because of security risks, the government argued on Friday in federal court.
Lawyers for the detainees on hunger strike said they might be persuaded through such discussions to resume eating and drinking. The inmates have pledged to starve themselves to death unless they are released or brought to trial after more than three years at the center.
More than three fucking years.
is toby talking about the anti american el baradei whowas 100% correct about wmds in iraq? gee,iwonder if we had listened to him all those american lives would be saved. perhaps toby could join the marines and go over to iraq and find them for us.
