The reaction to the draconian new restrictions on women's reproductive rights in South Dakota tells us a lot about the coming contest for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination. Virginia Senator George Allen wholeheartedly endorsed South Dakota's direct challenge to Roe. In his run to the right, John McCain tried to have it both ways. Most predictable, Mitt Romney confirmed the 2005 assessment of his advisor Michael Murphy that "he's been a pro-life Mormon faking it as a pro-choice friendly."
MTP lineup for tomorrow: Republican George Allen, Republican Generals Bernard Trainor (retired) and Michael Gordon, a-a-a-a-a-nd Joe Biden!

Yup, the GOP had to field somebody, but only a sacrificial lamb would go up against Bernie, who always wins at least 2/3 of the vote.
I am disappointed that Bernie's come out in support of Peter Welch (D) to take his seat. I was backing Dave Zuckerman (P), but he decided not to run.

Here is an actual post from my Web Site. In this post, you can all see I live my life the same Christ did:
"Shelly Is A Skank With A Skunky Snatch
It's true, she had anal sex with some fat guy with bad hair who lives in his parent's basement and used old laundry boxes as paper on which to write epic odes to how best Shelly is so he could fuck her in her ass. He told me all about it, he said she made little piggy grunt sounds and it was so distracting that he lost his erection while she was cumming and making a noise like a cat caught in a screen door and her anus cramped at the loss of orgasm and clamped down on his penis so hard that an ambulance had to be called to take them to the vet to extract his dinky from her chocolate hoo-hoo.
The police decided not to press beastility charges against the fat bad haired guy as it was evident that Shelly wanted it as she kept begging the vet to stick his penis in her vagina to both try and wiggle fat guy's dick from her ass and scratch her yeasty itch at the same time.
But sadly, Shelly doesn't love the fat guy anymore. Now she's in love with me, LOL!"
Anyone care to try to estimate how many levels this is wrong on?
My admittedly oblique response is that it's at least one wrong short of making a right.

Plame was not named specifically. No go on that. Libby is simply trying to use briefings to draw others into the investigation to claim mistrial or for damage control- 'they did it too but aren't being hunted down...'
It isn't going to work, Fitz will probably diclose a damage assessment with names out of it soon... just to establish the impact of what really happened.
Then Libby will be trying to run his own McCarthyite effort to paint others with the same brush, broadly so.
Look for them to leak a ton of more stories out like was done with the initial yellowcake and Atta-Prague lies, keep a close eye on Hill & knowlton and any subsidiaries. Wonder if they have holdings in the Tribune?

Maybe we'll have the Howdy Dubai Show all over again! Hey Cheney this "too many blank lines" crap!
A Dubai-owned firm is already providing shipping services in the United States, it has emerged.
Inchcape Shipping Services, whose clients include the US Navy, has been owned since January by the United Arab Emirates investment firm Istithmar. Fellow Dubai firm Dubai Ports World has agreed to cede control of US ports acquired in its takeover of P&O to a "US entity" after a political outcry.
The US Congress threatened to block the takeover on security grounds.
Republican and Democrat politicians both claimed that the deal would make key US assets more vulnerable to terrorist attack.
However, as Dubai Ports World conceded the deal would not go ahead as planned, it emerged that Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) has had extensive interests in the US for many years.
"I would like to see us move toward really focusing on our critical infrastructure that is controlled, owned or operated by any foreign government" -
Senator Hilary Clinton
ISS arranges pilots, tugs and dock workers for shipping companies and works with the US Customs to ensure the smooth arrival and departure of vessels at ports such as New York, New Jersey and San Francisco.
ISS was bought by Istithmar, an investment firm ultimately owned by the Dubai royal family, for $285m in January. Following the takeover, ISS maintained its global headquarters in London, where the firm's management is based.

A Cancer Drug's Big Price Rise Disturbs Doctors and Patients
By ALEX BERENSON
On Feb. 3, Joyce Elkins filled a prescription for a two-week supply of nitrogen mustard, a decades-old cancer drug used to treat a rare form of lymphoma. The cost was $77.50.
On Feb. 17, Ms. Elkins, a 64-year-old retiree who lives in Georgetown, Tex., returned to her pharmacy for a refill. This time, following a huge increase in the wholesale price of the drug, the cost was $548.01.
Ms. Elkins's insurance does not cover nitrogen mustard, which she must take for at least the next six months at a cost that will now total nearly $7,000. She and her husband, who works for the Texas Department of Transportation, are paying for the medicine by spending less on utilities and food, she said.
The medicine, also known as Mustargen, was developed more than 60 years ago and is among the oldest chemotherapy drugs. For decades, it has been blended into an ointment by pharmacists and used as a topical treatment for a cancer called cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, a form of cancer that mainly affects the skin.
Last August, Merck, which makes Mustargen, sold the rights to manufacture and market it and Cosmegen, another cancer drug, to Ovation Pharmaceuticals, a six-year-old company in Deerfield, Ill., that buys slow-selling medicines from big pharmaceutical companies.
The two drugs are used by fewer than 5,000 patients a year and had combined sales of about $1 million in 2004.
Now Ovation has raised the wholesale price of Mustargen roughly tenfold and that of Cosmegen even more, according to several pharmacists and patients.
Sean Nolan, vice president of commercial development for Ovation, said that the price increases were needed to invest in manufacturing facilities for the drugs. He said the company was petitioning insurers to obtain coverage for patients.
The increase has stunned doctors, who say it starkly illustrates two trends in the pharmaceutical industry: the soaring price of cancer medicines and the tendency for those prices to have little relation to the cost of developing or making the drugs.
Genentech, for example, has indicated it will effectively double the price of its colon cancer drug Avastin, to about $100,000, when Avastin's use is expanded to breast and lung cancer patients. As with Avastin, nothing about nitrogen mustard is changing but the price.
He's which in the who now?

No, but was working today.
Mandatory, to make up from the Xmas days we get off. What a load of chincy crap.
In baseball (ah, baseball - I remember); in baseball only the greatest of players have their number retired. It is a rare honour bestowed with a Scrooge-like stinginess. Once a number is retired, no future player on the honoree's team may wear that number. Ever. In the singular case of the great and heroic Jackie Robinson no player from any team may ever again wear No. 42. Ever.
I would like to promote the idea of retiring "Fucktard" - that it may only be used to describe George W. Bush. No other politician--no matter how obtuse, foolish, dim, or simple-minded--may be described as a fucktard. Ever. Now and forever. Forever and a day. Ta-rah-rah boom-de-aye.

I dunno, as big of a Fucktard as Duhbya has been, I have great expectations for the GOP to bring forth a new fucktard when they're done with this one. Never underestimate them.
Bill Frist, for example, would be a huge fucktard in the White House ...

From way, way upthread, just because once I got all the way down here this was what came up when I hit right-click and Paste:
So there's absolutely no chance that the lovely and winsome Russ Feingold (who I see smiling at me on the right of the page) will be president, is there?
Marcia Brady
Sadly, tragically, outrageously, Marcia, you are right, he has no chance at all. Because of his name.
Others similarly disqualified from Presidential aspirations include:
Gov. Vilsack (D-IA)--ever since Colbert made that sneery-face about anybody named "___sack" his chances, already small, vanished altogether
Gov. Rod Blago....er, Blajo...well shit, Gov. Goodhair of Illinois, because of his name being simultaneously unpronounceable and, once pronounced, (blah-GOY-uh-vitch) impossible to thereafter spell.
Feingold is a triumph of memorable spellability after that, so it must be anti-Jewish prejudice.Also that he is the one true populist in the whole bunch and therefore so dangerous to the established order as to be beyond any consideration whatever.
Donald Rumsfeld has made a killing out of bird flu. The US Defence Secretary has made more than $5m (£2.9m) in capital gains from selling shares in the biotechnology firm that discovered and developed Tamiflu, the drug being bought in massive amounts by Governments to treat a possible human pandemic of the disease.

TJ, doing fine, thanks. I mentioned you the other day, as a matter of fact, in reference to our shared upcoming birthday -- rooting for Sean Patrick to be born on the 17th.
Unfortunately, NYMary didn't pull off the trick my mother did -- when she first found out she was pregnant, the doctor told her the baby would be born in the middle of March. She said, "Good. St. Patrick's day." The doctor said they couldn't be that exact. She said she could. I was born at 12:35 a.m. March 17. I have visions of her holding back for that last half hour, by sheer willpower.

Also, some of the family have six fingers or something
I had an aunt who married into our family. She thought she was better than us and never missed a chance to try to prove her superiority. Problem was that we all knew she was from a family where everyone was born with six fingers on each hand. There was an incipient finger attached to the baby finger of each hand which were removed at birth. And we (my cousins and I) all knew about it.
We used to "high five" in front of her and say to each other "Gimme six."
Oh we were nasty little bastards, we were.

I'm amused by some of these family histories where people think they're descended from displaced aristocrats.
My family never had any such illusions. Here's a rundown of the hardscrabble roots:
Paternal grandfather: Son of an Irish whaler, mother dead. Dropped off in Brooklyn to be raised by an Italian family. Didn't know his real name until he applied for a marriage license. His reaction? "All this time, micks were beating me up for being a dirty dago, and I was one of them.
Paternal grandmother: Irish peasant girl. Tenant farmers on Brit-owned estate. Estate converted to game park, so get lost, like to the US
Maternal grandfather: From Greek enclave in Albania. Pre-WW I Balkan turmoil had the Ottomans seizing Greek land and handing it over to more loyal denizens of the Empire. Stowaway to Boston.
Maternal grandmother: Daughter of Korfu hoteliers. Nice life, good education. Then orphaned in some epidemic. Fell under control of an aunt who hated her mother. Arranged marriage to my grandfather--off to the US for you

TJ, people always ask me why my name isn't Patricia, being born on St. Patrick's Day. I like your story for why you aren't Patricia (a name I never liked, btw).
My parents decided that the first girl would be named Nora, after my father's mother, no matter when she was born. Fine by me; my paternal grandmother was a wild woman -- when she arrived at Ellis Island, my grandfather, due to a mixup, wasn't there to meet her, and she said, "The hell with him," left New York and went to stay with family in Ohio. He had to find her and beg forgiveness.
One of my favorite family stories.

Bush Goes on Offensive To Explain War Strategy
Speeches to Combat Public Pessimism http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...1001949_pf.html
By Michael A. Fletcher
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, March 11, 2006; A03
President Bush plans to begin a series of speeches next week again explaining the administration's strategy for winning the war in Iraq, as the White House returns to a familiar tactic to allay growing public pessimism about the war that has helped keep the president's approval rating near its historic low.
