GravatarHow come this blog is all about Pennsylvania alla sudden?

Where's the biofuels?


GravatarSee, Mr. A? Can't even get anyone to come up here and read about it....

Gravataratrios, tell me something good about casey. i want to believe, i really do. the anti-choice thing is usually a deal breaker for me, but i get now is not the time to be ultra picky. still, it needles me that i have to consider giving him my support.

is there a particular stance or feature he has which merits his front runner status?


Gravatarit's Atrios' football.

But let's talk earthquakes and Bay Area sometime


GravatarThis blog is getting terribly
Pennsylvania-centric.


GravatarHow long before Chimpy complains that they're not finding anything?

WSJ -- FIVE U.N. WEAPONS INSPECTORS ARRIVED in Iran to visit uranium enrichment and reprocessing plants, Iranian media reported.


GravatarI think the Democrats are moving away from their pro-choice platform. You can bet if Reid were prochoice, Alito would not be on the court.


Gravataris there a particular stance or feature he has which merits his front runner status?

No. Just name recognition.

GravatarWell, since this blog's getting Phila-centric, maybe we should ALL move to Philly and start an Atrios commune.

I don't think I know the Merry-Go-Rounds. Sounds like I should.

That's a good question, the answer to which I'll try to discover before I get there


GravatarHillary Clinton radiates all the excitement of soggy cereal.

GravatarAnd it tells you squat about what she'd actually do once in office.

And squat is about all she'll do.


Gravatar i like cheese

And that's what makes you a berry, berry bad man.


GravatarI agree that Hillary would say anything to get elected but she's smart.
She knows that if she backtracked on abortion she wouldn't stand a chance.
I'm still pissed at her for voting for that sack of shit Condi.


GravatarHee -- I vaguely recalled a cartoon with a character that says "I like cheese!" and gets thwapped, but couldn't remember the context. It was Thylvester:

http://toolooney.goldenagecartoo...m/ sylvester.htm


GravatarChicago Dyke: There's nothing good about Casey. He's a pro-war, anti-Choice, anti-stem cell, PAC-fueled, pro-Alito, corporate, Me Too Dem. He respresents everything that's wrong with the Dems today. That includes the inevitably of whom they will blame when he loses to Santorum in November: it'll be the women's fault.


GravatarSteve,

The young Emmit Rhodes.

Bangles covered "Live" on their
first album, if memory serves.

Their other hit was "You're a Very
Lovely Woman", which is one of the
great McCartney pastiches of the 60s.


GravatarOMG. I'm watching Ham on the Street (Food Channel). He's doing a show on hot dogs at Coney Island. He just showed a bunch of people some hot dog cooking device which looks like an octopus without the wavy arms and asked people what it was.

Some robust-looking woman said something like *looks like something I keep in my bedroom*. He was so embarrassed.

Too funny!


GravatarI demand Atrios give more coverage to the Vermont Senate race.

He's talking about cheese. Isn't that Vermont enough for you?


Gravataratrios, cheese sucks up elitist chardonnay in the gut pretty well, i hear.


GravatarShe's already started to equivocate about it.

Not that I'm a Hillary fan, but she hasn't equivocated. Her sponsorship of S.20 is good politically and achieves what pro-choicers want.

She'll do some clever word play about it so that people don't really know where she stands. But she sure as hell won't take a definitive prochoice stand, which as far as I'm concerned is the same thing as fucking us over.

And NY Mary, I sure hope you are right that it's only name recognition.


GravatarHe's talking about cheese. Isn't that Vermont enough for you?

No. He must talk about maple syrup, fall foliage, and Bernie Sanders. Every other post, or I'll remove him from my blogroll.

I disagree. She's bought into the "liberals are scaring off the religious" rhetoric bigtime, so she'll be saying anything she needs to to try and pander to that, largely imaginary, voter.

Just like Fredo.


GravatarHalliburton supporting our troops by making them drink shit:

GravatarShe's bought into the "liberals are scaring off the religious" rhetoric bigtime, so she'll be saying anything she needs to to try and pander to that, largely imaginary, voter.

Yes, and apparently she's too stupid to realize that the only "religious" who are being "scared off" are the hardcore fundamentalist idiots, 15% or so of the electorate who are beyond redemption and aren't worth pandering to. It's pretty obvious from the Chimpster's poll numbers that a lot of Christians don't like him very much.

Me either. I don't slam her because, as ql notes, she's basically been a good senator for NY (and a helluva a lot better for upstate than we had any right to expect). Plus, I love that she makes the wingnuts froth at the mouth. If they hate her that much, she must be doing something right.


GravatarJust ribbing you, Mizz Parker!


GravatarIsn't it about time for Casey softens his abortion position and says he's personnally against it, but will vote to protect Constitutional freedoms?

He's going to lose this election against Santorum if he is just Santorum light. Pro-choice Republicans, Independents and Dems will have no choice on choice, and many will stay with the current Senator.

GravatarAccording to current and former intelligence officials, Plame Wilson, who worked on the clandestine side of the CIA in the Directorate of Operations as a non-official cover (NOC) officer, was part of an operation tracking distribution and acquisition of weapons of mass destruction technology to and from Iran.

Speaking under strict confidentiality, intelligence officials revealed heretofore unreported elements of Plame's work. Their accounts suggest that Plame's outing was more serious than has previously been reported and carries grave implications for U.S. national security and its ability to monitor Iran's burgeoning nuclear program.

GravatarOT: Armenia swaps pipeline for cheaper gas

YEREVAN, Armenia (UPI) -- Armenia agreed to surrender a small but crucial section of a natural gas pipeline to Russia in exchange for discounted imports of natural gas.

The discounts, which will last until 2009, come in exchange for letting OAO Gazprom buy a 24-mile stretch of a gas pipeline connecting Armenia and Iran, the New York Times reported Friday.

Gazprom also was granted a concession to build a larger second pipeline along the 24-mile route.

so, for now, this seems to me to be another place those people need to be attacked at their so called strength.

but I will admit it may be more than a little foolish of me, someone who only sets foot in church for weddings & funerals, to offer advise on such matters to politicians, some of whom presumably *are* 'good Christians'.

but hell-- people who brag about not being "Democrats" are full of advise as to what they should/should not do, why not me?

Louise Corales, whose 14 year-old son, Anthony Soltero, died on April 1 after committing suicide, will speak to the community and ask for a prayer for her son this Sunday, following the 11:00 a.m. mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Ontario, California.

Eighth grader Anthony Soltero shot himself on Thursday, March 30, after the assistant principal at De Anza Middle School told him that he was going to prison for three years because of his involvement as an organizer of the April 28 school walk-outs to protest the anti-immigrant legislation in Washington. The vice principal also forbade Anthony from attending graduation activities and threatened to fine his mother for Anthony's truancy and participation in the student protests."

Its all of a piece with their theory that we need to just beat up on a small indefensible nation once every generation, just to prove we can.

They somehow think that the same logic applies to using a nuke. That somehow, magically, we won't have one used on us in retaliation.

One important fact that they seem to have not yet grasped.
During the cold war the Soviets while haveing some interesting innovations in rocket tech, did not have the ability to mass produce them and still keep the quality.

Since then, the Russians have improved their military production with the best advice of experts from the West and the Orient.

If they ever attacked us now. They could deliver the "knockout punch" easily.

GravatarActually, I think pointing out the scriptural basis for liberalism is a good tactic. But it shouldn't come from the Dems, but from the lefty Christians.

Unfortunately, all the ones with press are too busy whining about how mean secular liberals don't like them, and how they have no choice but to vote with the righty Christians whose policies they supposedly despise unless we pat them on the heads and assure them we approve of them.

GravatarNTodd not quite a ploughman's lunch, features a minimum - a thick piece of cheese (usually Cheddar, Stilton, or other local cheese), pickle (often Branston Pickle, sometimes piccalilli and/or pickled onions), crusty bap or chunk of bread, and butter..


GravatarWould the 15 year old believe it if some suit told her she was going to jail for three years for organizing a protest?

Probably not, but she's a little older, not a racial minority being slammed in the press, and has been raised by politically conscious parents. (They also threatened to sue his mom, which may have freaked him out.)

Also, she would have trouble getting hold of a gun.


GravatarShe's a lieutenant, so to "punish" her, they sent her to some desert outpost in Arizona, where she pushes paper all day.

Lesse--she can spend the rest of her tour in Iraq, getting shot at or bombed every day. In the desert.

Ya know, if I didn't know you people, I'd take this wrong.

'Some desert outpost'. You mean like somewhere out in the colonies somewhere? As we are all aware, the desert isn't any part of the actual country, right?

I'm going to presume you're referring to Fort Huachuca, the Headquarters of the US Army Intelligence Center and School. "In 1967, Fort Huachuca became the headquarters of the U.S. Army Strategic Communications Command.

Then, in 1971, the post became the home of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and School, bringing with it the School Brigade.

The Strategic Communications Command became the U.S. Army Communications Command in 1973, subsequently changing to the U.S. Army Information Systems Command in 1984.

In October 1990, the post changed hands with the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command became the new host command; the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and Fort Huachuca now operates the post."

Gravatar"Where they train the military intelligence officers at Abu Ghraib?

Some of them. Mostly it has been, since it was moved there from Ft. Lee, the headquarters of all military sigint. It is perhaps one of the most highly secured locations going.

I very much wanted to be assigned there as TRADOC historian.

It is also the original 'other end' of the loop between Ft. Leavenworth and Arizona, patrolled after the Civil War by the 9th and 10th Cavalries, and the home post of those groups who were subsequently sent against Mexico in 1914 under Pershing, and subsequently to France, to serve with the French.

I patiently explained about the Jurassic and the emergence of mammals and people and the Roman Empire and Jesus being alive roughly 2000 years ago during a historical period. She just looked at me. Then she said: "soo, Jesus wasn't alive when the dinosaurs were. Are you sure?" So I explained how the Rocky Mountains we know are the 3d range of mountains that have been there. One whole mountain range grew up there and was worn down by time between the time the dinosaurs lived and Jesus was born. I don't think she believed me.

US leak of Zarqawi letter riles Israelis

ISRAELI military intelligence officials have accused President George W Bush’s administration of undermining their attempts to infiltrate Al-Qaeda’s operations in Iraq by revealing the contents of a secret letter written by Osama Bin Laden’s second-in-command, writes Uzi Mahnaimi.

Israel passed the letter — in which Ayman al-Zawahiri outlined his Middle East strategy to Abu Musab al- Zarqawi, the Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq — to Washington last October on condition of strict anonymity.

Israeli officials were dismayed, however, when John Negroponte, the US director of national intelligence, made it available in both English and its original Arabic on his office web site.
snip
Israeli intelligence sources said officials who had worked on “Operation Tiramisu” inside Iraq took emergency steps to protect their sources, but it was not clear how successful they had been in averting the damage to their intelligence network.

They said Bush’s indiscretion had undone months of painstaking effort.
etc.

GravatarThe Plot Thickens

President Bush declassified sensitive intelligence in 2003 and authorized its public disclosure to rebut Iraq war critics, but he did not specifically direct that Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, be the one to disseminate the information, an attorney knowledgeable about the case said Saturday.

Bush merely instructed Cheney to "get it out" and left the details to him, said the lawyer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case for the White House. The vice president chose Libby and communicated the president's wishes to his then-top aide, the lawyer said.

GravatarPresident Fucking Oaf.

Who knew "bumbling and incompetent" could be so lethal?


GravatarThey said Bush’s indiscretion had undone months of painstaking effort.

Indiscretion?

that what the kidz are calling it these days?


GravatarWho knew "bumbling and incompetent" could be so lethal?

Add "greedy" and "amoral" and you've got a noxious mix.


Gravatar'member when they outed that Pakii mole?

And the fine that Pork Chop Boy's Halliburton had to pay for selling dual-use nuclear hardware to Iran.

They're all thicker than anthrax.

Gravatarhave y'all seen this?


Gravatargossip column style blind item -- which washington social writer took a case of champagne to write nice things about the Shah of Iran?


Gravatari still don't know what a soi-disant Christian is, but this blog on paranoid style is interesting.

[It should be interesting, to soi-disant Christians at least, that the first recorded words of the Risen Christ, and the shortest affirmative commandment in the Scripture, were “Be not afraid.” There should not be room in a Christian politics for so much fear, but the garden has long been cleared to make room for the weeds.]


GravatarBush merely instructed Cheney to "get it out"

There you go - it's a conspiracy, they are all involved, kick every last one of them out of office.


GravatarBTW, did you know that Battlestar Galactica won a Peabody Award?


Gravatarpart of me wants to believe that they're so cleverly devious that this was all planned out in advance.

it would make it somehow more . . . comprehensible.


GravatarBush merely instructed Cheney to "get it out"


Bush, he likes it rough!


GravatarEs verdad, gato! Viva Pennaccio!

Estoy de accuerdo.

Ironically "Mr. Peabody" never won a Peabody Award.


GravatarNTodd still here? Just came across this in the editor's note in this month's Cook's Illustrated:

"...I would simply quote Calvin Coolidge, who said, '[Vermonters] are a race of pioneers who have almost beggared themselves in the service of others. If the spirit of Liberty should vanish from other parts of our Union and the support of our institutions should languish, it could all be replenished from teh generous store held by the people of the brave little state of Vermont.' It may indeed be time, as Coolidge aptly predicted, that our nation should look to this hardy race of pioneers to replenish our sadly depleted stores."


Gravatarwonder how O' Reilly feels that a cartoon (So. Park) won one.

I saw that. Surprised Athenae hasn't had anything to say about it yet.


GravatarBush merely instructed Cheney to "get it out" and left the details to him...

The words to a song by the great Tom Lehrer come to mind:

"Once rockets go up, who cares where they come down?
That's not my department," says Werner Von Braun...


Gravatar...did you know that Battlestar Galactica won a Peabody Award?

Dear God in heaven...


GravatarSurprised Athenae hasn't had anything to say about it yet.

In time, I'm sure.


GravatarBUSH: I don't care how you do it - just get it out.

CHENEY: Yessir. You're the boss [heh heh].

BUSH: I understand that.

GravatarImpeach the Leaker-in-Chief!

I'm sure Bill is willing to share his.
He's just that kinda guy.

The Times of London, reviews von Braun's autobiography - "I Aim for the Stars"...

...But Sometimes I hit London.


Gravatar"Bush goverment, hurricane of stupidity!"
Apprentice to Darth Tigerous,


that is a bumper sticker.

I'll have it up later today.


GravatarSurprised Athenae hasn't had anything to say about it yet.

In time, I'm sure.

Yah. She's all excited about rodents on ice skates at the moment.


Gravatar"get it out" = leak.


Gravatarall excited about rodents on ice skates

Who wouldn't be?


GravatarHey, we got a nod on dKos too

Of course, one of their sticks in the mud thinks it's "ludicrous shit" that I would interrupt "hard political discussion" with such personal nonsense

Sorry to interrupt all yer hard political discussion!

Blacked Out: Government Secrecy in the Information Age
Alasdair Roberts

Description: Alasdair Roberts discusses his book, "Blacked Out," at Powell's City of Books in Portland, Oregon. During his speech, Professor Roberts comments on the recent increase in the enactment of freedom of information laws by governments around the world. He also talks about a number of issues that surround government secrecy that he believes will need to be addressed in the future, including the problem of "government pushback" (an effort reverse the trend in government transparency). He argues that this is happening in the United States today.

Author Bio: Alasdair Roberts is an associate professor in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University and director of the university's Campbell Public Affairs Institute. For more information on Professor Roberts and his work, visit his website at www.aroberts.us.

You think *anyone* will get play at Yearly Kos?


GravatarYou go, Nim!


Gravatarare we witnessing the first of the "my media" wars between chimpy and crashcart?


GravatarWorst. President. EVER!


GravatarNim, no hamhock?

Well, regardless: I was enthralled for you both. Forever after "Five tiles left" will have a whole new meaning.

Congratulations


GravatarGod, NYMary, I read that as do you think anyone will get layed. Of course, prolly not.


GravatarSorry to interrupt all yer hard political discussion!
Nim


Hrumph! the children these days. Don't they know that politics starts at it's most basic level, at the personal, and the emotional level?


Gravatar...Of course, one of their sticks in the mud thinks it's "ludicrous shit" that I would interrupt "hard political discussion" with such personal nonsense...

I only read the main posts at Kos... I try and avoid the "comments" sections like the plague.


Gravatar"Nim, no hamhock?"

Ah, Jen commandeered my keyboard before and got everything messed up. That's what happens when women try to play with computers instead of ovens and clothes irons.

^_^

(please god don't tell her i said that)


GravatarI read that as do you think anyone will get layed.

That's how I meant it.

Gilliard is apparently more worried that people will gamble their lives away.


GravatarHey Nim - Oh fuck the inhuman fucks who can't get swept up in something so lovely and joyful and downright fun.


GravatarOf course, one of their sticks in the mud thinks it's "ludicrous shit" that I would interrupt "hard political discussion" with such personal nonsense

How dare that poster use a smiley face when saying that!



Gravatar(please god don't tell her i said that)
Nim, ham hock of liberty

strike one.


GravatarBox turtle blues


GravatarAlright, I've got to run some errands. I was really busy yesterday (too busy to even constantly blogwhore!) so I express my late congrats to Nim.

Are you too kids considering tying the knot at Eschaton II 'cause that would be awesome!

We could all attend in cool outfits.


GravatarGilliard is apparently more worried that people will gamble their lives away.
NYMary


NYMary - yeah, I saw that, too.


Gravatar(please god don't tell her i said that)

God is a woman. You're in big trouble, mister.


Gravatar(please god don't tell her i said that)

JEN!!!!!


Gravatar"Are you too kids considering tying the knot at Eschaton II 'cause that would be awesome!"

Wellll....we haven't decided yet. In fact, I was gonna go trolling in the new open thread for suggestions on where to hold the ceremony / honeymoon, since we've been debating it all day.

Haven't ruled out Con2, but it's probably unlikely, just because that's a bit sooner than we had in mind. But maybe!


GravatarSorry to interrupt all yer hard political discussion!

Only "nesting" the Kossacks know is in their comments.


GravatarNim, you've given the kossacks another reason to feel superior to us. That ought to make them happy.


GravatarThe Owlery is open.


GravatarI live blogged the debate here.


GravatarIt's a national issue because it's that nasty Santorum's seat up for grabs.

For anyone who actually watched the debates. Chuck Pennacchio SMOKED them by calling for more than censure, but a true impeachment for the President breaking the law.


GravatarIt's about the cheese

No, whey, jack.

(Sorry, that's as gouda zit gets).


Gravatar>>Hillary


GravatarOOps.

Hillary

Yeah, like a thick-ankled rugmuncher could be trusted to nuke Iran, resurrect Terry Schiavo and wiretap 14 year olds with lymphomas.

You liberals are just so weird. And don't call me sexist, because I'd vote for Ann Coulter's adam's apple and Michelle Malkin's five o'clock shadow because they have the balls and the cheese to do it Right.


GravatarThat wasn't a debate: that was three guys making different campaign promises.

Pathetic.


GravatarOf course, one of their sticks in the mud thinks it's "ludicrous shit" that I would interrupt "hard political discussion" with such personal nonsense

You think *anyone* will get play at Yearly Kos?
NYMary


Fuckno.

I've been thinking about throwing a party for ECON2:Electric Boogaloo, for those willing to do the hour-each-way-downtown-and-back on the L thing. If that meets my wife's approval, that is (I've already got approval for guests--say 1 family with kids and 1 couple of people to sleep on the sofabed). But if the party happens, we now have a mini-wagon with fold-down seats in the garage and the aforementioned sofabed (just don't wake the youngins) open for the gettin' busy.

You may laugh now, but you just might need that little space then.


GravatarGreat Debate.

Most stunning news for me -- Casey Junior favors threatening and if necessary using nukes against Iran, staying in Iraq, and says he'll keep taking money from lobbyists because he knows it will not affect his vote.

eRobin did a great job covering it So What Have We Learned?
