My brain and heart have seen the light
my view by brian scott mednick
> email this to a friend
JAN 5
It takes a big man to admit he is wrong, and I intend to show just how big I am. I was wrong. I made a mistake. My friends were right. There, I said it. I am sorry that I voted for George W. Bush in last year’s election. It was not an easy choice. I voted for him enthusiastically in 2000. And I supported him and thought he was a strong president for most of his first term. Then I slowly came to realize how intellectually vacant this man is. He cannot even answer a question unless he’s been prepped in advance. I initially was in favor of the war in Iraq, only to now realize that he brought us into war under false pretenses and with no exit strategy. When the the number of Americans killed in Iraq tops the number of Americans killed on 9/11, is he still going to insist this war was just? He’s been a failure on domestic issues, as the social security fiasco and Hurricane Katrina highlighted. Yes, I have seen the light — I now consider this guy the worst president we have ever had.
Being that rarity of rarities in this town — a young Jewish Republican — I found myself defending Bush in numerous bar conversations that almost boiled over into barroom brawls. It got to the point where I desperately avoided talking politics at all. I call myself a Giuliani Republican — tough on crime, liberal on most social issues, and scornful of the extreme religious right-wing of the party. Even during the height of my support for Bush, his religious zeal made me uncomfortable. And for good reason. Like many recovered alcoholics and drug addicts, Bush has replaced his chemical addictions with an addiction to Jesus (stick with the Jim Beam, I say).
I went back and forth in the months leading up to last year’s election, unable to decide whether to vote for Bush again or give John Kerry a chance. In all fairness, had the Democrats put forth a more viable candidate, I would have had an easier time voting against Bush. But as the war wages out of control and Bush & Co. still try to have us believe progress is being made, the idea of President Kerry sounds so good.
I was deeply moved the first time I saw Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Afterwards, I thought, Who could vote for Bush after seeing this movie? On election eve, I watched “Fahrenheit 9/11” yet again. I was brought to tears and went to bed that night with the intention of voting for John Kerry the next morning. It was a sleepless night. I went to vote right after the polls opened at 6:00 a.m. And once in that voting booth, I cast my ballot. I voted with my heart, not my brain. I voted for George W. Bush. I did so thinking my vote would not be significant — Kerry was obviously going to win New York state and its electoral votes. And I also thought Kerry would win the election. I know my one vote did not make a difference.
Continued:
But when everyone who thinks that way then votes the other way, our votes do make a difference. I asked myself one question before voting: If the United States was hit with another terror attack, who would I trust more in the White House? My heart said Bush. How stupid I was. Next time, I’ll listen to my brain.
That was in the Metro yesterday, a freebie paper given out by SEPTA here in Philadelphia.
Top Ten Things Overheard At The GOP's Conference To Elect A New Leader
10. "Put your clothes on and stop acting like an idiot!"
9. "I'm telling you for the last time, no one wants to hear about your damned lobotomy!"
8. "My mistress can kick your mistress's ass!"
7. "Glad to see you found a new career, Mr. Watts. Can I have my drink now, please?"
6. "Sorry but I'm not touching any cold cuts since I voted to cut the FDA's budget."
5. "I don't now about you, but if I find out I'm sharing a cell with Cheney or Rumsfeld I'm just gonna kill myself."
4. "I'm not going to comment on that, Mr. Cunningham: and stop making me talk into your lapel!"
3. "So I said to the cop, I said, 'Honest officer, no one was driving...we was all in the back, singing!' "
2. "You can get out from under the podium now, Ms. Coulter. Everyone's gone for the day."

Stupid, stupid, stupid!
hey TerryC: at least they get it, sometimes, eventually. Good catch...
How can anyone's hear say Bush? I don't get that.
That was supposed to be "heart",not "hear". Though it works both ways.
Sadly, No, seems very meta right now. I'm having a hard time grasping it.
But let's say a nice FUCK BUSH for old times sake, eh?
Funny the guy wanting to hang liberals from posts.
As has been said often, these little cowards sit at their 'puters and really fantasize about being big boys playing rough.
Funny I never get threatened by any of the likes of these wussies in person.

Bushboy is obscenity incarnate.
He tells lies that cause people to die unnecessarily and he does it with feigned conviction and depraved indifference to the consequences.
He has never given a thought to what his greed, ego and selfish indulgences cost the rest of society.
It simply doesn't matter to him.
Self gratification and self indulgence are his only reasons for living.
Yeah. Theys all big motherfuckers, until they meet some guy like me.
Good thing I have an even temper anymore, and don't like jail too well.
Self gratification and self indulgence are his only reasons for living.
In fairness...they're pretty much my only reasons for living, too. I think the difference is that I tend to prefer willing participants.
Was there ever another group in the history of the world who so completely failed to get it?
I love it that he thinks we're Stalinesque - they are very fucking deluded, ya know?

The boys over at the Left-wing "Sadly, No!" blog, are in a towering snit of angry moral superiority over my pessimism post.
"A towering snit of angry moral superiority"? More like hysterical laughter at this bedwetting little brownshirt's pathetic jerk-off fantasies.
As for "moral superiority," it goes without saying, so we won't.
BTW, the frightened little brownshirt than goes off in a towering snit over an obvious joke comment. So. Fucking. Predictable.

Let's hear about the two tours, motherfucker. Right. Fucking. NOW.
Life?s a thread and we all play a part.
Did he mean to misspell?
Fascists don't have to necessarily be anti-Semites.
The Italian fascists only adopted an anti-Semitic stance under Nazi pressure; the Nazis became the senior partner of the Fascist "movement" such as it was, and their particular bugaboo, anti-Semitism, became part of the program.
The principle bugaboo of the current American proto-fascism seems to be split, between Islam and homosexuality. They really can't decide which one is more effective as a scapegoat to present to the masses for all their failures. Islam has the apparent concrete threat, as seen in the Sept 11th attacks, but homosexuals have the 'ick' factor for their base that needs to be stoked.
What in the hell is this all about?
I'm starting to think Atrios should send out warnings:
"I going to do a post linking to your site. I strongly advise you to contact your web host immediately to have your bandwidth limits raised for the next few hours." :D

Oh Yeah... That smacks of freedom... Kill the free press...
They're already blaming a nuke attack on an american city on liberals...........
How fucked is that... Republicans are in control of the entire government.
heh uploading tracks to my mp3 player has dragged me away from Eschaton.....
Today's namestealer appears to be particularly inattentive to detail.
What a maroon.
I'd eat a mile of cheney's shit just to see where it came from.
the bed must be very sodden with piss, as the wingnuts wet it so much.
Wonder is the kidnapping of the female journalist a response to the leaking of the DoD body armor study?
Lapping from a downstairs thread, 'cause I was gone (listening to my 11 y.o. tearfully explain why she wants to keep a certain sweater even though it itches unbearably, isn't fashionable and she doesn't intend to wear it; females please explain):
Whence T2? Are you involved with MRI?
On my blog, I go by the name Thersites. But here, there already was someone by that name. I experimented with alternatives like "The Other Thersites" and "He Who Must Not Be Named Thersites" etc., but it still was too confusing, so I stripped it down to T2 for Thersites2.
What's MRI?
I blow sailors on furlough.
Semper fudge.
Is there anybody out there?
What in the hell is this all about?
Winger fantasises about hanging liberals from lampposts. Gets called on it. Says he's been given a death-threat. Pisses pants. Lots of huffery and fantasising about taking out liberals in comments section.
Same old same old. Sodden wingnut mattress.
If y'all still want a synopsis:
Esmay posted a screed in which he said the leakers of the NSA program's existence should be hung dead dead dead like the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg traitors they are.
It went from there - Sadly, no, responded and then Esmay totally flipped and claims he's been threatened and his whole family has been threatened by Sadly No, who is a neo-fascist and Stalinesque.(oy).
Me. I'm scratching my ass and balls and sniffing my ball sweat.
Oh, heaven.
I just popped in, but I sense there is a namestealer in the midst of things here.
I've been burned by them lately, not in the mood to partake.
They've also been reduced to rooting for more terror attacks, which will allow them to keep their precious spying program, which we currently have, which we need to keep to prevent more terror attacks, which, if they occur again, will prove how necessary spying is.
"I love this sweater. I think it's a beautiful sweater, but I also think it's an ugly sweater, and I hate it. I think I'm going crazy."
Someone please explain 11 year old girls? Please? This is the same one I lauded so lavishly for coming to my defense against a wingnut.
T2, I was wondering the same thing.
Did you see Esmay's picture? Reminds me of Jimmyjeff.
Weiner.
Of course, those eliminationists are all mouth and trousers.
It's really spooky how quickly the rhetoric goes into nazi/lynch mob mode. They don't even stop and think "What the fuck am I saying?" I was wondering for a while if O'Reilly was going to go whole hog Rwanda D.J. mode and start calling for violence in the streets to save Christmas. There is a real pressure cooker feel to that gang and I ain't sure where or how it's gonna blow.
Someone please explain 11 year old girls? Please? This is the same one I lauded so lavishly for coming to my defense against a wingnut.
Look, you guys, 11 year old girls are, quite simply, a brand new bag of hormones. Let them feel what they feel, be supportive, very supportive, and let it go.
It's hard enough to deal with hormones, even at 45.
Of course, those eliminationists are all mouth and trousers.
Oh shit! That's fucking hilarious!!
Vicki, I've been waiting for you to show up. Did you see this?
In a symbolic move in part aimed at defusing a possible backlash against its growing success in the U.S., Toyota Motor Corp. has put Michigan among the top potential sites for a new engine plant that would create hundreds of jobs at a time when General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. are cutting their work forces in North America.
...
The official and other executives said Toyota is considering areas around Kalamazoo and Battle Creek in part because southwestern Michigan is deemed more or less free of the influence of the United Auto Workers union. That would allow the Japanese auto maker to set up a nonunion plant just like most of the seven major manufacturing plants it operates in North America, except for one in northern California, which is run jointly with GM.
Granholm's been courting them on this. Would be quite a feather for her if it comes to pass.
67% of John Birch Society's poll....
think Bush NSA snooping on Americans is unconsitutional and just plain ol’ illegal..

Vicki: Thank you. I keep reminding myself of that. The author of "Reviving Ophelia" points out that, according to the DSM, all preadolescent girls are clinically insane, so different standards must apply. Doesn't make it much easier, though.
Alito's fellow judges back his high-court bid
Ronjazz had it right in an earlier thread. Why is it that New Yorkers, like me, who was actually injured in the attack, are less afraid of the terrorists than the whiney assed titty babies. They are so fucking afraid that they are willing to sell their country to the highest bidder if it means the thundering herds of Muslims and gays will be kept at bay.
Asswipes.

Innit the truth? The hysteria is palpable with these folks, all the time. And they never rest at finding new outlets for it.
Sorry, I couldn't get past the first paragraph in the top post with is gratuitous use of a overtly racist term. Oh, I forgot, it's okay if it's used in sports, and it's only offensive to Indians anyway, so who the fuck cares.

Oh, that is good news, pie! I really feel for her, because she takes such a beating by the right. The Grand Rapids Press, this morning, had several LTEs bashing Gov. Granholm.
What we really don't need, though, is Dick DeVos elected to the governorship in November. That would be a tragedy for Michigan.
They are so fucking afraid that they are willing to sell their country to the highest bidder if it means the thundering herds of Muslims and gays will be kept at bay.
The highest bidder being China. The seller being the Fed.

If she can stop the hemorrhaging of jobs, especially in your part of the state (which tends to vote repub, doesn't it), she should have a very good chance of getting reelected.
So do I let my daughter keep the nice wool sweater she loves/hates that she's desperate to keep and admits she'll probably never wear, because that's being supportive, or do I take the damn thing back and get her something she'll actually use?
Is someone namestealing Barndog? Jeezus H. Christ. Barndog, of all barnyard dogs. Barndog could kick its ass with his pinky finger. Trust me, I know Barndog, and this namestealer does not sound like the Barndog I know, in person, and love.
Why do conservative bedwetters always have what my gandma used to call "a full face"?

You can tell it's the same namestealer as last night because it can't figure out how to do a proper link.
And the mechanics of the ™ symbol seem well out of its reach, as well...

You ignore the problem and it goes away. Sheesh. This approach works for ALL family issues.
Mena: meaning keep the disputed sweater and buy her another one for wear as well?
Tena/mena, hahahaha!

Yes, they vote GOP here. The jobs issue is a huge one. I still think Dick DeVos is fairly weak, though, and he has a track record for closing divisions at Amway and sending those jobs overseas (a friend of mine, for example, lost his job there for that very reason).
What is a Dean Esmay? I don't really follow the wingnutosphere.

T2 - yes. See how simple?
mena's right - just get her a new sweater, and let her keep the old one.
Thers: I know, I know. But I walk into the house and there's this cloud of female hormones in the air, like getting in an elevator with some matron wearing way too much cologne. Hard to ignore. And my wife gets snippy when I put on the headphones.
I really, really do love my fambly, by the way!!
Once at Paris Island, I wet my bunk and the other Marines gave me a blanket party.
mena - we just reversed comments and did it again.
I was trying to think of a James Dobson style response to T2's situation. But my "ick" meter was pegged before I could follow that train of thought at all.

What mena and Tena said.
I don't want to assume that you're okay financially, because we never know these things about others, but if you can afford it, definitely buy her a new one and let that other itchy sweater incident go.
I feel for you, though...I was one of those high/low hormone girls when I was a teen. It was brutal.
But I walk into the house and there's this cloud of female hormones in the air
Dude, that's why you have a garage with cable TV and a fridge.
Why is it that New Yorkers, like me, who was actually injured in the attack, are less afraid of the terrorists than the whiney assed titty babies.
The founding fathers faced daily dangers and threats during the Revolution, making our "war on terra" look like a tussle with a playground bully. And yet they still had the balls to put the Fourth Amendment in the Constitution.
What a shame they had to put their asses on the line to fight for a free country, only to lose it 240 years later to a bunch of whiny ass titty babies.
Esmay's point is that political opponents are not only to be debated, but silenced and, ultimately, executed. This seems very plain. I can't figure out any thing else he's blabbering about.
Where is the Scarey Vagina when we need her?
I HATE being a tinhat paranoid freak.

Vicki, kufr took a disliking to BD earlier in the week.
T2
There's probably more here than meets the eye.
Like she likes that sweater because it's the ONE YOU got her, not because ehe likes THE sweater. If you take it back, that means she's being ungratful.
I would just drop the whole thing, with a 'well let me know if you change your mind.'
.
I could write some troll porn, but I'm not feeling (oddly, for me) very sexual at the moment, so it would be more difficult than normal to dig it up from my woman center and put it out there.
Looks like it might be that worthless fuck, kufr.
Well, off to being high and doing something constructive.
I'd take back the sweater and buy her a car to make up for it, preferably convertable.
Barndog: in my family we call it fambly. Don't know why, it just started happening and is a private love thang.
Tena, Mena, Thers, et al: Thank you. Money is tight (you try trading litigation for mediation and a fledgling writing career!), but I think we'll keep the itchy sweater and she can wear one of her other sweaters to death in lieu of buying yet another.
ql: Thanks for the pimp; I appreciate it!
BTW, we should be looking at how Jack's money circulated in the US media.

But know you're not going to resolve the situation now.
We do realize, of course, that if Delay had resigned his seat, we'd be looking at a Democratic district as a result of a by-election. Delay carefully only resigned the leadership, so that Hastert could appoint another member of the cabal to succeed him.
Seems as if someone is namestealing both Dave and Barndog. Fuck 'em.
On another note, Vicki, if you are still here, I'm making the Steve S. Ginger Shrimp recipe you so graciously posted on your website. When it gets down to the "meanwhile melt butter and one clove of crushed garlic," it doesn't tell me what to do with the butter. Do I baste the shrimp with it while they are being grilled, or do I toss them into the butter after they are finished cooking?
Sorry for the off topic, but this is important--all cooks will understand. Thanks.

OK, I'm trying to be supportive, but now the kid's telling me I spend too much time on the computer and is demanding that I get off the blog.

Abso-fucking-lutely. I'm sure there were seminars in Barbados, and you know these aging fratboys love to golf just like Tommy D and the gang. I can picture Matt Lauer and Tweety chuckling it up on the nineteenth hole with cigars
Who wants to open my can of whoop ass?
Oh boy the boys glee club is talking on ABC!
mer,
Use the butter as a dipping sauce, or pour it over the shrimp.
I've also made it where I just add the butter and garlic to the mix while it's cooking, but the dipping sauce is lovely.
I truly hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did. Everyone I have served it to loves it.

Shucks. I can't go further with my current project without some gray fabric, so I need something to divert me.
This goes against the grain, but I'm not sure all the nuts are WATB, so much as the war on terror is just such a great excuse for them to seize power and denigrate and degrade their perceived enemies.
They're not really afraid, they're just power-mad racist big-government sick fucks, while the cheeto-eaters have a desperate desire to look tough.
Which is why our current meme has touched such a nerve.

Seriously, I thought "Esmay" was pig latin.
I'm from Grand Rapids Press country and thank every god except theirs that there is now other sources of news than the MSM.
All of my life I have been told by the local media what is proper for me to read/see/hear. They have to be the most conservative religious right in the country.

I'm glad my comment resonates with the fellow moonbats.
I do wish to clarify that my comment was in no way meant to reflect badly on Mr. Batale. While he is a big fella, he's a chef, so it's OK.
Dean Esmay, on the other hand, sits around polishing his carrot and convincing himself that executing political opponents is a faithful expression of Freedom™.

Speaking of whiny assed titty babies:
I'm reading Risen's book, "State of War." On page 22 he relates that when w was informed that Zubaydah (an al Qaida operative) was receiving pain medication after getting shot several times during his capture, w said to Tenet "Who authorized putting him on pain medication?" Risen says he considers the source reliable, even though several others have disputed it. I think it fits right in with blowing up frogs and making fun of Carla Faye Tucker. The guy is a real sociopath.
OK, I'm trying to be supportive, but now the kid's telling me I spend too much time on the computer and is demanding that I get off the blog.

So what was it that finally got Republicans to revolt, and to ask for new Leadership? Was it the revelation of some action or behavior that took his corruption to new levels? Was it a spontaneous, collective crisis of the conscience?
No. It was a plea bargain by Jack Abramoff. No new information came out about DeLay himself.
DeLay was not kicked out for what he had done. He was kicked out for getting caught.
Well at some point you tell her to back off - you're the grown up, you get to do what you want to.

i go away to make apple turnovers and the trools are being original by name stealing. huh!
guess they can't tout the great gop and how wonderful preznit fucknuts is, so this is all they got!
These criminal cases also are reminders of George H.W. Bush’s long record of unsavory associations, including with a Nicaraguan contra network permeated by cocaine traffickers, Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s multi-million-dollar money-laundering operations, and anti-communist Cuban extremists tied to acts of international terrorism...

Did the ginger shrimp last night; it's as good as they say. Had it with rice and green beans and then poured the leftover marinade on the leftover rice and had it for a snack today. I was going to post a thank you, but could not quite remember who was to get the thanks. So, thanks to Vicki and Steve.
OK, I'm trying to be supportive, but now the kid's telling me I spend too much time on the computer and is demanding that I get off the blog. I'm starting to second-guess this whole "raise clear-thinking articulate self-confident girls" thing. Maybe the fundies have a point about keeping them down. Hmmph.

Risen says he considers the source reliable, even though several others have disputed it. I think it fits right in with blowing up frogs and making fun of Carla Faye Tucker. The guy is a real sociopath.
I would not trumpet this as true, personally (I admire Risen for publishing it, btw), but given this Administration's support of torture, I have a hard time doubting it.

doug,
Nah, some idiot is stealing his name. Called me a pussy. heehee.
How long before W. says: "Tom who?"
The WH is already flip-flopping on its show of support. Read this online in your paper:
After repeatedly maintaining that President Bush continued to support DeLay, the White House pivoted abruptly on Saturday, issuing a statement that endorsed DeLay's move. "We respect Congressman DeLay's decision to put the interests of the American people, the House of Representatives and the Republican Party first," said Erin Healy, a spokeswoman for Bush.
I completely missed steve's shrimp recipe. Dammit.
I'm dead serious about these fucking namestealers.
Fucking with me to the point of apology.
pie--yep, DeLay's toast.
Wow, the rats leave the ship fast, don't they? Reminds me of the parable about making friends on earth so they will welcome you into their eternal homes when it's all over.

alot of the wingers are convinced that the rapture or some other religious nonsense is going to come and prove that it dosen't matter what happens on earth...all the rewards are in heaven..
.aWoljr and his ilk are putty in the hands of a good mumbler like pat or ralph...the real danger is the group of users like darth cheney that grab as much as they can playing the religious suckers
for all they're worth...aWoljr is our queen elizabeth style figurehead...darth lets him say anything and then just does whatever suits his next theft...the keys to the u.s. treasury are the biggest prize in the world...but like over fishing the oceans there is a limit to the catch and the
u.s. treasury is getting thin...

Rmj, Wandering Aengus
Yes, he's very careful to point out that it might not be true, but then he uses it to explain the atmosphere that was created that permitted Abu Graib and the rendering of prisoners to countries that allow torture. IOW, it came from the top.

The real Barndog is one of the most gentle, compassionate hippie-type people I know. And he's a musician. Extra added passion in those of us who are musician/artist types.
But don't fuck with him. He's a big, handsome man, and I've no doubt that he could take out every troll here just by blowing on them.

I think that is why Pat Robertson is pissed and said what he said about Sharon. Sharon's making it difficult for Armageddon to happen the way that Pat has being telling his 700 CLub members it's going to happen for a long time.

Yes, remember that picture that was taken of the two of them when DeLay accompanied him on that trip?
And let's not forget that Cheney spoke at a DeLay fundraiser in December ("Appearance is a sign the lawmaker has party support.")
Hee hee.

Of course.

Ok - gotta tell y'all this - a guy just rang the doorbell - a cop campaigning for the Repug running for DA. He intro'd himself and I said "Democrats - we're Democrats." He said: "I can't make you switch?"
I fucking died laughing at him - right in his face. I said: "Not on your life." And laughed my ass off.
And after getting his car egged at the first inaugeration, w set up the First Amendment zones and stopped appearing before anyone that might possibly disagree with him. Pussy. I think he would fit right in with the other WATBs.

Great story! Good for you!
I had a phone call the other day asking for a contribution to some inane GOP gathering (why they called me, I have no idea).
I said, "Sorry, I have no money, courtesy of George W. Bush. Call me back when there's a Democrat in the White House and the left is in control of congress."
And then I hung up.
Why is he going door-to-door in January?
Is there some scandal requiring a special election, or is really eager to get a jump on election day?

Making statements about what god feels and does, who god hates and why god smites certain people and not others, is Pat's version of mental hygiene. If he did not rid himself of his aggression and violent fantasies in this way, there is no telling where it might end with 'ol Pat.

She's visited this site, and she thinks that because Atrios gives 'em hell, speaks truth to power, and is so succinct in his opinions and analysis, that he's a threat to the government, so she swears they're monitoring Eschaton.

Having never heard of Esmay, it was a bit hard to figure who was left of/right of/threatening whom, but I think I have it....
Esmay, despite calling himself a "liberal," is a typical Bush fascist.
Esmay wants reporters executed.

A a school I was attending had gotten NEH grant for guest lecturers. One of them was Allen Ginsburg. The day he showed up I was reading in the school cafeteria. They place was pretty empty. He came by with a tray and asked if he could sit at the same table. Anyway we got into this conversation about Government surveillance. I asked him how he handled the potential paranoia he could have, since he'd already said they followed him around. AG said he sent the FBI frequent updates on his activities by mail. AG said it wasn't their knowledge of his behavior that they threated with, it was the watched individuals vulnerability to be threatened with public scandal.

I've been wearing anti-Bush shirts ever since the first one, the cover of the Nation on November 13, 2001 was offered. I vowed to wear one every fucking day until this dirty cocksucker was driven from office. It drives my wife nuts but I am committed. It is the least I can do, besides diatribes in letters to the paper, my reps in congress, and bitching to righties any chance I get.
My favorite has been Impeach Cheney and the dumb one too! Lately I have been partial to simply Impeach Bush (and cheney too) from smirking shimp.
Now I am going to proudly display my dead elephant shirt from Americablog because it just says so much more about the fucking scumball GOP in general.

In her profile of Babs in "Woman at the Washington Zoo", Marjorie Williams quotes a childhood (lifetime) friend who remembers the old warhorse as the queen bee of their high school click. Every day Bar would pick one member of the group whom no one would talk to for the day--Let's be mean to Ann today; they'd all follow along and the next day Ann would obey and turn on Jane.

Officials Focus on a 2nd Firm Tied to DeLay
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/0...=rssnyt&
emc=rss
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 - Having secured a guilty plea from the lobbyist Jack Abramoff, prosecutors are entering a new phase of the corruption investigation in Washington and are focusing on a lobbying firm that may hold the key to whether Tom DeLay or other lawmakers will face criminal charges in the case.
The firm, Alexander Strategy Group, is of particular interest to investigators because it was founded by Edwin A. Buckham, a close personal friend of Mr. DeLay's and his former chief of staff, and has been a lucrative landing spot for several former members of the DeLay staff, people who are directly involved in the case have said.
Although the firm's name has circulated in connection with the case for many months, prosecutors' questions about Mr. Buckham and Alexander Strategy - which did not respond to requests for comment - have intensified recently, participants in the case said.
The firm openly promoted the idea that it could deliver access to Representative DeLay, the former majority leader. The firm paid Mr. DeLay's wife $115,000 in consulting fees, while conducting business with Mr. Abramoff's firm. Mr. Abramoff helped Mr. Buckham set up his firm...
But its web of contacts on Capitol Hill reach well beyond Mr. DeLay, and in ways that prosecutors suspect could have criminal implications for other lawmakers. Alexander also did lobbying work for a defense firm tied to former Representative Randy Cunningham, Republican of California, in a separate corruption investigation, putting the firm in the crosshairs of two grand jury probes...
Alexander Strategy's name has also surfaced in the course of a parallel corruption investigation that implicates the defense lobbyist Brent Wilkes, who is an unnamed co-conspirator in the criminal case against Mr. Cunningham. Mr. Cunningham pleaded guilty in December to accepting $2.4 million in bribes from Mr. Wilkes and others and resigned from his seat. Mr. Wilkes' firm, Group W Transportation, also hired Alexander Strategy to do some of its lobbying work, and Mr. DeLay traveled on a plane partly owned by Mr. Wilkes.
Well that's not good for the Bucs.

CT-Sen: Looks like Ned Lamont to take on Lieberman

It looks increasingly likely that wealthy Connecticut businessman Ned Lamont will give Lieberman a primary challenge.
To follow up on what someone suggested earlier, though, said daughter is always amenable to hugs. One of the best things I've done lately was, one night when she was just losing it, inviting her to crawl into bed with me, and we just cuddled and didn't talk for about an hour till she fell asleep.
Daughter never wanted dad to go shopping. Mom went every time.
I get to pay my dues with her driving lessons.
Touchdown, Washington Redskins!!!
Richard,
That story makes me nipples tingle.
Isn't Alexander Strategy who was writing press for Iraqi newspapers? Or am I misremembering?
I think Atrios broke their server. What were they saying?
Daughter is one of the few sixth graders to make it. So is a boy she likes. So she now is the happiest girl in Bedford Falls.

And that's the problem. It is no longer what you do that matters anymore. She is moving off into the big world, and how she is treated there is what will be affecting her mood. Remember, if you raise them right, they leave.

Poll: Most Say U.S. Needs Warrant to Snoop
By KATHERINE SHRADER, Associated Press Writer
1 hour ago
WASHINGTON - A majority of Americans want the Bush administration to get court approval before eavesdropping on people inside the United States, even if those calls might involve suspected terrorists, an AP-Ipsos poll shows.
Over the past three weeks, President Bush and top aides have defended the electronic monitoring program they secretly launched shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, as a vital tool to protect the nation from al-Qaida and its affiliates.
Yet 56 percent of respondents in an AP-Ipsos poll said the government should be required to first get a court warrant to eavesdrop on the overseas calls and e-mails of U.S. citizens when those communications are believed to be tied to terrorism.
Agreeing with the White House, some 42 percent of those surveyed do not believe the court approval is necessary.
"We're at war," Bush said during a New Year's Day visit to San Antonio. "And as commander in chief, I've got to use the resources at my disposal, within the law, to protect the American people. ... It's a vital, necessary program."
According to the poll, age matters in how people view the monitoring. Nearly two-thirds of those between age 18 to 29 believe warrants should be required, while people 65 and older are evenly divided.
Party affiliation is a factor, too. Almost three-fourths of Democrats and one-third of Republicans want to require court warrants.
Cynthia Ice-Bones, 32, a Republican from Sacramento, Calif., said knowing about the program made her feel a bit safer. "I think our security is so important that we don't need warrants. If you're doing something we shouldn't be doing, then you ought to be caught," she said.
But Peter Ahr of Caldwell, N.J., a religious studies professor at Seton Hall University, said he could not find a justification for skipping judicial approvals. Nor did he believe the administration's argument that such a step would impair terrorism investigations.
"We're a nation of laws. ... That means that everybody has to live by the law, including the administration," said Ahr, 64, a Democrat who argues for checks and balances. "For the administration to simply go after wiretaps on their own without anyone else's say-so is a violation of that principle."
The eavesdropping is run by the secretive National Security Agency, the government's code-makers and code-breakers.
Charles Franklin, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said most people think that the eavesdropping is aimed at foreign terrorists, even when the surveillance is conducted inside the country.
"They are willing to give the president quite a lot of leeway on this when it comes to the war on terror," said Franklin, who closely follows public opinion.

You guys are right: I really do love my fambly, and that daughter in particular. She's the one who came to my defense so eloquently a while back. Great kid. Not simple, but who wants that? Hell, I love her even more than I love my dog.

As someone brilliant observed the other day, we can't change them. We just have to make sure they're more afraid of us than they are of anything else. Dems and liberals need to learn this lesson.

It's right in line with the whole right and it's what I just cannot fathom - they have these leaders who are all the exact opposite of what they preach. You know the drill - Rush is a junkie, O'Lielly is a pervert, Bennett is a compulsive gambler, 3/4s of the Repug Party are self-hating closeted gays and on and on and on.
The women are the same - preach that shit but don'[t live it at all. How can people be so fucking stupid as to consider such rotten hypocrites as leaders of some kind of moral movement? My brain really goes fizzy with all this -

Rove, Scotty, Falwell, Hastert..they look as if they're going to explode.
Apparently, they don't follow their leader's example - falling off bikes, etc.
I read recently that too many Americans exercise their freedom of speech before their freedom of thought.
Reading the comments etc., at many websites (endless bickering on the order of 'yes you did/no I didn't'), I am inclined to agree.
Sadly No seems to have just gone down.
further reading brings me to agree that beyond the astonishing event of Deanie O' pretending to be wary (lord knows he's just skeart for his family lol) ...his pseudo audience is the living epitomy of phoney right-wing insanity (the feigned "advice" is "touching"). Once upon a time a property dispute morphed into a confrontation on my front porch when the homeowner who resided acrossed the small court I lived on sent her cousin to knock on my door. He was big and bad and exuded self-appointed authority. I told him to get off my property before I knocked his block off and as he backed away he muttered that I'd gone too far this time and now I would have to "do time" for it (as though I'd ever even seen his face before in my life!). The next thing I knew the police were pulling up and he was out in the street screaming I'd threatened his life. Gratefully the city cop who responded to the call wasnt buying it although the pantie-waist bigshot thought he and his family held undeniable influence in our town to a point that he could make such claims and it would be assumed to be true by virtue of his "importance" (P.S. later he apologized, but his cousin the owner of the house he walked over from never did). Which indirectly reminds me of this blog episode. The wing-nuts wont hesitate to play unfair and throw sand and smash others with Tonka toys in the sandbox this divided country has turned into. Thanks to the brain damaged drunk who turned out to be the worst president ever. Yer doin' a hell of a job! What's next? Jeb? OMG!
