I was just thinking about the confluenece of several important events that have occurred in 2005.
The Congress passed and the President happily signed into law both the severe limitation of both class action suit protection and bankruptcy protection.
Coincident with this, hurricanes have situated insurance companies with a heavy cash outflow.
In sum, what mechanism is left for the rank and file policyholders to obtain relief from a health insurer whose management suddenly adopts a "deny all claims" policy?

I hate to say it but... Ruppert may have a point about White Nationalists and Christianity. Not all, but many switch from Chrstianity to Atheism, like Tom Metzger, and he was photographed with those two bimbos. The reasoning behind Metzger's transformation :
Soon afterwards, Metzger changed the name of his group to "White Aryan Resistance" (or WAR). WAR worked to recruit members though prisons and regarded Christianity to be a form of Judaism.
Hatred of Jews. I can see them being pagans, Odinists.
the liberal hawks castigated the liberals who were against the war, so payback may be a bitch, but that's life.

George Washington
Much of the myth of Washington's alleged Christianity came from Mason Weems influential book, "Life of Washington." The story of the cherry tree comes from this book and it has no historical basis. Weems, a Christian minister portrayed Washington as a devout Christian, yet Washington's own diaries show that he rarely attended Church.
Washington revealed almost nothing to indicate his spiritual frame of mind, hardly a mark of a devout Christian. In his thousands of letters, the name of Jesus Christ never appears. He rarely spoke about his religion, but his Freemasonry experience points to a belief in deism. Washington's initiation occurred at the Fredericksburg Lodge on 4 November 1752, later becoming a Master mason in 1799, and remained a freemason until he died.
To the United Baptist Churches in Virginia in May, 1789, Washington said that every man "ought to be protected in worshipping the Deity according to the dictates of his own conscience."
After Washington's death, Dr. Abercrombie, a friend of his, replied to a Dr. Wilson, who had interrogated him about Washington's religion replied, "Sir, Washington was a Deist."

Are you going to ignore the humiliation of being hung out to dry by your colleagues and hold your head high in silent stoic resolve?
See, I'm imaging that if I'm Scooter Libby, I might be thinking that Karl and his crew overplayed their hand making me the leper, and maybe I've got some things of my own to divulge, and if I go down, maybe I won't be going down alone.

Hey folks, between getting pwn3d and bitchslapped by trolls and being unable to ban fy because he uses SuSE linux, how can avoid hanging my head in shame?
OT, but I didn't want to waste it on the dead thread below:
It seems as though the Judy³ caper has a traditional plot device used to good effect in sitcoms every day of the week, and in everything from "The Producers" to "Goodfellas".
The protagonist (or anti-protagonist) is a natural "operator", a person disposed to keep busy and active pursuing self-promotion. Like art movements, such dynamos progress through three stages: novel, mature, decadent.
During the plateau of Phase II, she was allowed to operate in a dim light and the soft-focus mist of unconditional positive regard. A transactional dynamic emerged between Judy³, her bosses, and the government powers and principalities.
All of the troublesome questions and considerations that the NYT brass are slowly coming to publicly-- with much apparent perplexity and trepidation-- were invisible in the mists of indulgence.
On her part, Judy³ masterfully exploited this friendly fog and was able to do her thing by telling everyone what they wanted to hear. During Phase II, the protagonist seems able to miraculously get away with all sorts of outrages that ought to trigger reprisals or at least suspicion.
(It's also possible that there was active and explicit collusion between all the parties all along, by the way. But that's another straw man.)
The investigation itself is a catalyst that triggered Phase III. The lights have come up, and the protagonist loses that sweet buoyant bubble of indulgence. Now at least some of the public, including bloggers, pundits, and NYT readers, get a closer look at Judy³. And she is suddenly subjected to a level of critical scrutiny unknown in the preceding phases. Now the long honeymoon is over. All of the unsavory and unsettling twists to her career are brought into sharper focus, and the queen's scepter turns out to be a snake studded with chancres.
She tries to rescue her situation by resorting to the same blithe and glib inconsistencies that previously sufficed to satisfy her interlocutors. Delivered, as always with panache and moxie.
But now that her statements and actions are being scrutinized and compared, her Dance of the Veils approach just ratchets up her incredibility. She's like Henry Hill in "Goodfellas", trying to tie up a million loose ends as the helicopters close in. And, like Henry, Judy³ has to grapple with the problem of not being sure who her allies are as the situation deteriorates. She's at a point where she's talking faster and faster out of both sides of her mouth and can neither trust nor be trusted. Jolly entertaining!
And now for the endgame.
G Packer and all this wankfest - fuck you all. Go trade places with Riverbend. I mean it. Fuck you fucking assholes.
Digby is so glad Matt's come around. FUCK THIS SHIT.
This is why this country is going down fast. Privileged (unearned) assholes, all of us, sipping our genteel drinks of choice, debating the fine points of mass murder.

Media at a Huge Crossroads, 25 Years After Reagan's Triumph
by Norman Solomon
(snip)
A quarter of a century ago, conservative Republicans captured the White House. Today, a more extreme incarnation of the GOP's right wing has a firm grip on the executive branch. None of it would have been possible without a largely deferential press corps.
(snip)
For the next eight years, a "Teflon presidency" had the news media making excuses for the nation's chief executive, who often got his facts wrong while substituting folksy exclamations for documented assertions. The Democratic Party's majorities on Capitol Hill rarely challenged Reagan, and the Washington press corps used the passivity of the Democrats to justify its own. As Walter Karp wrote in Harper's magazine a few months after Reagan left office, "the private story behind every major non-story during the Reagan administration was the Democrats' tacit alliance with Reagan."
That tacit alliance included going easy on Reagan and his vice-president-turned-successor, George H.W. Bush – despite the Iran-Contra scandal that exposed their roles in the illegal funneling of aid to the Nicaraguan Contras...
(snip)
"For eight years," Karp wrote in mid-1989, "the Democratic opposition had shielded from the public a feckless, lawless president with an appalling appetite for private power. That was the story of the Reagan years, and Washington journalists evidently knew it. Yet they never turned the collusive politics of the Democratic Party into news."
Today, words like "feckless" and "lawless" seem like understatements when applied to the current president.... Yet the news media – again with notable assists from Democratic leaders in Congress – are doing much to keep the Bush regime afloat.
Like two decades ago, the absence of tough Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill – combined with an overly respectful press – enables the White House to retain extensive political leverage.
I'm not totally sure the Dems are that complicit in this goround--perhaps just ignored and totally powerless. During the Reagan/Bush I years, the Dems held the House and had investigative powers which are totally lacking now. Solomon may be a bit harsh on today's Dems, but hits it with the collusion and deference of the MSM.
how can (I) avoid hanging my head in shame?
I can understand the politicians who supported this war and shouldn't have a lot easier than I can people like Yglesias.
I can see where the Democrats were thoroughly convinced the country wanted the war, based on where Bush was polling at the time - the highest ratings of his presidency.
What I will never understand is why pundits on the left ever fell for the junta's bullshit. I just will never understand it.

Erin,
Can't go wrong with flowers for the hostess.
Agreed hamletta, when someone is on your side, don't waste your time by proving how wrong they used to be.
Every decision has consequences, particularly moral ones. Just saying, "gosh, I was wrong" doesn't cut it. You want to come back to the Light? Fucking admit your sins, then you have the moral standing to talk about what to do next. Sorry, but getting to be an arrogant prick who condemns those who are truly right, then getting off scot free and coming over to the winning team when the score is 72-0 is not the makings of somebody with the character I want on my team. PENANCE, BITCHES!

I think all the wankers in the press owe Howard Dean a big apology. When he had the temerity to suggest that the US was not safer b/c of the invasion. I remember when Timmy, Tweety and even Margaret Carlson were hammmering Dean for saying that. Timmy also owes Dean an apology for tripping out about Dean saying that Delay is going to jail.
"genteel drinks of choice" What does that mean?
For the next eight years, a "Teflon presidency" had the news media making excuses for the nation's chief executive, who often got his facts wrong while substituting folksy exclamations for documented assertions.
But he's the most beloved of America's presidents, and he's got a legacy too.

bodkin -- "Just the same, Yglesias is a pontificating ass" -- agreed. Shallow and callow.
Beyond that, I parted ways with an especially dear friend over arguments similar to those in the linked post. My friend, a skeptic when he left, came back from Vietnam with that unalterable need to believe that he'd done the right thing. I could accept that as his reality, but when I wouldn't change my position in opposing the war, he didn't want anything more to do with me.

cs,
It's sad. I've lost friends over this war who wouldn't let up on the "we're at war, arabs want to kill us all" crap. I miss them, but they reminded me of someone who's been brainwashed and just can't accept any reality. Or members of a cult.

Having read much more than I would ever want to of the 'liberal' imperialists it is striking how much of their stuff focuses on the hearts and minds battle being waged among the insider and would be insider punditocracy. Here they are, having supported the biggest disaster in American foreign policy since Vietnam, if not ever, and they are gassing on about it, clawing at each other's eyes and they say next to nothing about the dead bodies all over the place and the vast numbers of people who want revenge on ALL OF US.
It's the theme song of the American intellectual class (sois disant), it's really all about us. Not only in the end but at the beginning middle and the aftermath too.
I've got no use for any of them, penitant or petulant.

The rightwingnuts, led by Scaife, made a concerted effort to own, operate or influence the MSM after the Goldwater defeat in 1964.
And they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
The MSM today is a craven, fawning, corporate whore, that sells out to it's sponsors, owners and the Gooper party with disgusting regularity.
Ray-gun was moron who was unfit for the office and Bushboy is, unbelievably, far worse - and neither has been given the adverse coverage by the media they deserved. Ergo: the mess America is in today!

Breaking News:
R. Kelly makes sex tape with stars of Prussian Blue
By WILL WEISSERT
Associated Press Writer
BAKERSVILLE, CA(AP) -- A tape surfaced that had Rap sensation R. Kelly and the underaged duo Prussian Blue having anal intercourse. A spokesman for Kelly said that his client did not know that the girls were underage. Prussian Blue, whose single "Skinhead Boy" is expected to go platinum, said that they did not know Kelly was a "n***er".
The MSM did it's usual character assassination work for the Goopers regarding Howard Dean's so called "outburst," which they played endlessly and spun as a man "out of control," when in fact he was simply trying to rouse his troops after a primary defeat.
The MSM did the same thing with the swiftboating of Kerry, as they regurgitated the lies of the Swiftboat whores.
Meanwhile, Bushboy's shameful military service (or lack thereof) got a pass, except for Rather, who paid for his "transgression."

A modest proposal:
We follow ql's advice and be kind to our friends and acquaintances who supported this crap and now repent. We need them.
We follow Tena's advice from the other day re: plame: that the Democrats should keep rather quiet and let the admin hang itself. But with the caveat that we are referring to the offical Democratic Party response.
We pound hard on Kerry, Hillary, Biden, Lieberass, and the rest until they repent loudly and publically. They need to be shamed into calling for impeachment and holding bush accountable. Why won't they do their damned jobs?
Thanks GWPDA. I hope WalterNeff is okay, even if he doesn't want to post here anymore. He is one special person.
The MSM did it's usual character assassination work for the Goopers regarding Howard Dean's so called "outburst," which they played endlessly and spun as a man "out of control," when in fact he was simply trying to rouse his troops after a primary defeat.
The people there didn't hear it as it was replayed because of all the background noise.
.
From Calame's Miller article (thanks for linking, Excessive Bastard):
"One ethical problem emerged when Patrick Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor, asked Ms. Miller if she had pursued an article about Valerie Plame, the C.I.A. operative, or her husband, Joseph C. Wilson IV. Ms. Miller said in an interview for the retrospective that she "made a strong recommendation to my editor" that a story be pursued. "I was told no."
But Jill Abramson, now a managing editor and the Washington bureau chief in 2003, would have known about such a request. Ms. Abramson, to whom Ms. Miller reported, strongly asserted to me that Ms. Miller never asked to pursue an article about the operative. Ms. Abramson said that she did not recall Ms. Miller ever mentioning the confidential conversations she had with I. Lewis Libby, the vice president's chief of staff, who appears to be in the middle of the leak investigation. When I asked her, Ms. Miller declined to identify the editor she dealt with.
If Ms. Abramson is to be believed, and I do believe her, this raises clear issues of trust and credibility. It also means that because Ms. Miller didn't let an editor know what she knew, Times readers were deprived of a potentially exclusive look into an apparent administration effort to undercut Mr. Wilson and other critics of the Iraq war."
Shorter Calame: Judith Miller was proved fucking LIAR!

This is why the dems, through Dean, need to start hammering on the press the way the repubs have done for the last 15 years, while it is still fresh in their memories. If the dems start asking hard questions from the press, e.g. "everybody was ridculing me while they were being misled b y Judy Miller", the dems will be in a better positions going into the '06 elctions-when the press will try the same shit.

The DEAN SCREAM
The television crews recording the event plug into an audio source picking up Dean's microphone, not the sound of the room. The cameras focus in to a tight shot of the candidate, not the rest of the room.
What you are not hearing is a room with thousands of people screaming and cheering.
What you are not seeing are hundreds upon hundreds of American flags waving.
What you are not hearing are members of the audience shouting out state names urging Dean to list more.
What you are not seeing is the way Dean's supporters were lifted out of their slump by the speech.

I still love you. You had me at "I'm pw3ned."
I apologize.
Marshall McLuhan once said, "The media is the message."
And when the media reflects groveling before the Goopers, while covering up for their lies, the people get the message that people like Bushboy deserve respect, when instead they deserve condemnation and they also get the message that Bushboy & the Goopers know what they're doing, when all evidence is to the contrary!
If and when we ever get out from under the Gooper/fascist jackboots the MSM has a lot to answer for!
Mr. Keller acknowledged to me last week that his tendency to act slowly in response to criticisms about prewar coverage might have contributed to the dismay among readers and in the newsroom with the way The Times dealt with protecting Ms. Miller's confidential sources in the leak investigation.
No, mr dumbfuck NYT "ombudsman," it contributed to 2000 dead US servicemembers, *literally* uncounted thousands of Iraqi dead, the debasement of the US political process and the handing over of the government to the BushCo organized crime family in seeming perpetuity.

I don't know if it has been discussed yet, but while Tom DeLay was bitching about a Judge having donated to MoveOn, he was flying to Texas in R.J. Reynold's corporate jet.
What does the future hold for Ms. Miller? She told me Thursday that she hopes to return to the paper after taking some time off. Mr. Sulzberger offered this measured response: "She and I have acknowledged that there are new limits on what she can do next." It seems to me that whatever the limits put on her, the problems facing her inside and outside the newsroom will make it difficult for her to return to the paper as a reporter.--Byran Calame, NYTimes Public Editor

Hmm, I wonder what law could possibly have gone into effect this week to encourage such largesse on their part? Wankers.
ErinPDX - We pound hard on Kerry, Hillary, Biden, Lieberass, and the rest until they repent loudly and publically
I agree. Kerry fucked up, Hillary fucked up, Biden fucked up (but really, what else is new there? Biden is such a whore; total lost cause IMO) I think they should publicly say they fucked up by supporting the war.
I don't think they could have stopped the war. But you know, if the liberals against the war hadn't been drowned out by the liberal hawks, who did their best to make us look like ninnies in the process, the Democrats might have been more willing to take a stand. I don't think they thought anyone would support them if they were against it. That's not a good reason to roll over, but it is understandable. They are just politicians. The pundits don't have that excuse, and they were helpful to the Democrats who decided to support the murderous enterprise.
GWPDA - I'm missing something - why doesn't WalterNeff want to post here anymore?
I'm watching Notre Dame football. They're killing BYU.
Screw ND. THey get preferential treatment on TV even when they are losers.
GWPDA - I'm missing something - why doesn't WalterNeff want to post here anymore?
Oh Tena, we don't know that at all. Only that the WalterNeff I found was not in fact Our WalterNeff. So we know nothing more today than we did yesterday. Mer's just sad 'cause she thinks WalterNeff doesn't love us. I keep saying we don't know anything at all!
Tena --
I forwarded a petition asking the Dems to admit that they were wrong to support the war & DAS pointed out that Americans don't like epople who admit they were wrong -- he may well be right -- see THIS MODERN PORLD
Bad Idea
Much in the same way small children and the mentally disadvantaged find total satisfaction in the 112th viewing of The Lion King, this never gets old:
trollbot: dumlibrulmonkeysayswhat!
Atriot: What?
trollbot: AAhh-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! I totally pwned you!!!
Comedy genius I say! More proof Andy Kaufman never died.
I'm so happy NTodd has gotten on the pwn bandwagon. It's really the only way to go, mocking the twits is the best revenge in this case.
Also, the fact that NTodd is playing with them like a cat plays with a mouse...
/cheer NTodd
Thanks for the link to Calame's column, Excessive B.
Regardless of the what happens with the indictments, one excellent outcome that we can celebrate is that Judith Miller's career has completely self-destructed. And the NYT, with slime all over itself, may yet boot Keller and possibly even Sulzberger out onto the street.
It's all good.
Why does disagreeing make him a wanker? Shame on you.
GWPDA - Thanks. I just didn't know from the few comments what exactly was going on.
I'm not drawing any conclusions at all about WalterNeff right now.
Prior - I actually couldn't disagree more. I think Americans will accept it when people admit mistakes. It's only Commander CooCoo Bananas and the other who have his mental illness who think something is wrong with that.
I think Americans will respond to candor, but that doesn't meant that you have to be apologetic. There are ways to admit fault that don't sound weak.
Tena, like Richard Cohen.
The few who didn't abandon us got little air time.
So many of them are based out of DC and NY that maybe they inhaled some sort of fear gas that made them crazy?
WMDs? Remeber? Packer seems to have forgotten that and like the neo-cons is rewriting history; tis better to be noble and clueless rather then a sucker.
Yeah. Stop fudging, Packer.
Cmdr. Cuckoo Bananas and crew don't admit mistakes because, in their black & white world, to admit they are wrong is to admit the Democrats are right about something. And that is something they will never, ever do.
Prior A: Thanks for the Tom Tomorrow link, I shamelessly stole it for correntewire. Well, the link anyway cuz I haven't figured out how to post pix at the new place yet and Working for Change always deserves some extra hits anyway.
Wanker of the year ... She's at it again.
That great Canadian actually said, "The medium is the message" which is the reason why people say things like, "I liked the book better."
The media is the mensonge.
Oh, for God's sake, people. He thought the wrong thoughts past some imaginary expiration date? Is that it? And now he's the same as Lieberman?
Yes, that's exactly what I mean. They both spout the same absurd excuses for backing this stupid war with the same grating condescension. Joe is more sanctimonious, Matt is more pretentious.
So Matt is now choking on his own vomit, and we should kiss and make up? Fuck that. The stench is going to linger on his breath for a long time.
I love Lapham. He's in that tiny pantheon of perceptive and brave people who actually deserve to be called JOURNALISTS!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
http://slate.msn.com/id/2106548
Lapham is a laughingstock.
The paranoid-reductionist formula goes like this: People connected by money, greed, and ideology are building institutions to foist their self-centered agendas—and corrupt ideas—on the easily hoodwinked masses. These people are so unscrupulous and cunning that they're willing to present the most outrageous untruths as fact. The Republican message machine, Stein tells Lapham (and the New York Times Magazine in the same words), is "perhaps the most potent, independent institutionalized apparatus ever assembled in a democracy to promote one belief system."
come to think of it, this also chracterises perfectly the eschaton mindset.
What does the future hold for Ms. Miller? She told me Thursday that she hopes to return to the paper after taking some time off. Mr. Sulzberger offered this measured response: "She and I have acknowledged that there are new limits on what she can do next." It seems to me that whatever the limits put on her, the problems facing her inside and outside the newsroom will make it difficult for her to return to the paper as a reporter.--Byran Calame, NYTimes Public Editor
Wow. Heavy, man.
jawbone - 4:12 pm
They're giving her Keller's job! Didn't see that coming.
i was looking through this guy's autobio the other day: blood of liberals.
smacks of a self-loathing liberal. where do these people come from?
They're giving her Keller's job! Didn't see that coming.
Little Brøther |
anybody else would have been fired. what, does she have blackmail material on sulzberger? claims that she's really a covert intel agent looks more and more plausible everyday. but then again, maybe she's just a whore.
