Oh, fudge. Anonymous was moi.
Isn't amazing that the Repugs talk about family values, yet they like to have sex with kids. Or if they don't actually have sex with kids, they write about it, like Scooter Libby's book about child molesting bears.
That's when they're not betraying the country by revealing intelligence sources and methods. Or getting us into wars of inconvienience. Or paying for the government with a credit card.
Who made the joke about Packwood that he thoughyt "harass" was two words?

re the niger/italian connection: nur al cubicle did some really good work on it a while back, and iirc, there are some neofascists in the mix, some real creepy characters, former tough guy types who "helped" move the docs to the right people.

I just read the post below about adjustable rate mortgages. I've noticed that every single right-wing talkshow has the mortgage and home equity loan companies as sponsors. Hugh Hewitt even has a "Mortgage Minute" with one of the most predatory of the lenders. I wonder, when the story breaks, will we hear anything about it on Conservative Radio or will they cover it up to protect their money men?
For the last 5 years I've heard about "interest only" mortgages and warnings about how the interest rates were going to rise, so how I better refinance with one of these destructive instruments. I'm just glad that Mrs. Pope runs the household finances almost as well as I play Doom 3.
All this talk about Good Old Perverts reminds of another acronym: IOKIYAR.

Actually, Packwood was staunchly pro-choice (not surprising given his extracurricular activities), which probably made it easier for the GOP to throw him under the bus.

This isn't everything, but pushing interest only or floating rate loans to those who don't need to use them to get into their own house, is basicaly evilness. "know them by their deeds".
Quentin,
He really got a spike for the Iraq invasion? Who knew?
The children captured as "enemy combatants" in Afghanistan and subsequently released, have nothing but good things to say about their time at the camp, and America. They were sequestered from the adult prisoners and gave up no useful intelligence. Of course, most twelve-year-olds do not qualify as, in Rummy's words, "among the most dangerous, best-trained, vicious killers on the face of the Earth." But their treatment was humane. Money quote:
The food in the camp was delicious, the teaching was excellent, and his warders were kind. "Americans are good people, they were always friendly, I don't have anything against them," he said. "If my father didn't need me, I would want to live in America."
Asadullah is even more sure of this. "Americans are great people, better than anyone else," he said, when found at his elder brother's tiny fruit and nut shop in a muddy backstreet of Kabul. "Americans are polite and friendly when you speak to them. They are not rude like Afghans. If I could be anywhere, I would be in America. I would like to be a doctor, an engineer _ or an American soldier."

"I've noticed that every single right-wing talkshow has the mortgage and home equity loan companies as sponsors."
Unfortunately, they sponsor liberal talk, too. This is a huge problem here in OH where people are losing their whole lives in these scams. It looks like there is new law passed here that may help, but the theives are in charge here.
John McLaughlin on his PBS show describes the Libby revelation ("I vas only obeyink ohrders venn I tolt Das Qveen of All Irak abaout der National Intelligenz Estimat") as an 8 (with 1 being no damage, 10 being catastrophic damage.)
Eleanor Clift also puts it at 8.
We can but hope. I thought it would not have a lot of impact, but I would love to be completely wrong on this. McLaughlin says "Hadley is still out there, Rove is still out there..." McLaughlin thinks the Republicans are going to get walloped in November. (Oh please, oh please, let it be so...)

From what I've learned, it was Ledeen who help plant the fake intelligence on Iraqi WMDs in the various European intel. This helped the Bushitas to be able to say the world thought Saddam was armed.

A 'Concerted Effort' to Discredit Bush Critic
Prosecutor Describes Cheney, Libby as Key Voices Pitching Iraq-Niger Story
By Barton Gellman and Dafna Linzer
Washington Post Staff Writers
Sunday, April 9, 2006; Page A01
As he drew back the curtain this week on the evidence against Vice President Cheney's former top aide, Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald for the first time described a "concerted action" by "multiple people in the White House" -- using classified information -- to "discredit, punish or seek revenge against" a critic of President Bush's war in Iraq.
Bluntly and repeatedly, Fitzgerald placed Cheney at the center of that campaign. Citing grand jury testimony from the vice president's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Fitzgerald fingered Cheney as the first to voice a line of attack that at least three White House officials would soon deploy against former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV.
"What's yer budget? Continental US?

Watertiger,
I cannot believe Laura Bush is wearing that jacket with the animal print blouse again!!
nim, when i got married i used the U of M facilities in the student union, a beautiful and spacious building which was also very cheap. perhaps one of you two are alums somewhere in the area and have access to similar college facilities?
also, my sister's wedding in the bahamas was the best. they stayed after for the honeymoon period, but the whole thing felt like a vacation. if you can swing it, i say to to the islands.
NyMary, I think that is the importance of the Bush revelation: It has shown him to be a hypocrite of the first order. DeVos is the same. Might fly in GR but in Detroit? Nope.
DWD,
what were you up to in Chicago?
that monkey they call misanthropy can sure jump yer back in a hurry!!

Oh, and Nim? Use people and places you know. Seriously.
And then vacation somewhere fabulous.
Probably continental US, but nearby islands aren't out of the question either.
Having just spent some time in B.V.I., I can safely say that they're absolutely beautiful and romantic.
Not to mention the rum drinks.
What's wrong with Chicago? It's a toddling town after all, and I'm sure has lots of elegant places that the elegant of Chicago have wed.

But my yr,'s almost up & need to start looking for work next month. Hope I can find something within an hour drive.
We got married in Mr. Tena's parents' living room. Our friends gave us a wonderful party afterwards. We got on a plane the next morning at the crack of dawn and flew to St. Lucia. It was still kind of unknown then. We had a perfect honeymoon. It really was - utterly perfect.

See? This is pretty! And you're all Michiganders now so it'll be comfortingly familiar. And, as a special bonus, if you're refused re-entry to the United States on the grounds of whatever is the issue that day, you'll be able to revert to Canada as refugees! What could be more delightful?
I'm watching Emeril and now I know what to do with orange water. I'm thinking about Sunday Morning talk show drinking games. But it would be sipping, not chugging. It is morning.

If you are getting married, the best investment you can make is the wedding photographer. Ask if he or she uses a large format camera. Don't use someone who uses 35mm. Get referals. After the wedding and reception, the wedding cake will be eaten and the flowers will die. But the pictures will last forever.

The Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite. Mrs. Hey and I planned our entire wedding and honeymoon around a one-night cancellation there, and then stared making the place a habit. If you do the whole big wedding thing, you'll probably get rooms 450 and 454, which share a huge balcony facing Yosemite Falls.
I'm just glad that Mrs. Pope runs the household finances almost as well as I play Doom 3.

Alright, well, since no one asked, Bob Bauman was a Congressman from Maryland's Eastern Shore, very conservative, culturally and otherwise, who was caught diddling -- or being diddled by -- a 16 year old boy in a Capitol Hill men's room.

He was not reelected.

Okay, I must admit that this made me laugh.
Jim Geraghty has some very good news about the new German chancellor, Angela Merkel. Unlike her predecessor, the cyncial America-basher Gerhard Schroeder, Merkel is generally supportive of U.S. policies. Moreover, she is an independent voice for firmness in world affairs. She took a lead role in calling for the release of Abdul Rahman, the Afghan convert to Christianity who faced the death penalty. And she has denounced Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, comparing him to Adolf Hitler. Geraghty also reports that Merket has "ripped into a widespread and disingenuous perspective among German political elites, who loudly call for thorny international crises to be referred to the United Nations, knowing that in all likelihood the United Nations will do nothing." And with all of this, Merkel's approval ratings are among the highest ever for a German chancellor
Geraghty notes that these developments are only part (though perhaps the best part) of a favorable trend for America in Europe:
We hear a lot about how the Bush administration has wrecked relations with our European allies, a complaint that was always overwrought and is now increasingly inaccurate. Tony Blair remains prime minister of Britain; whether he retires in the coming months or further in the future, his successor, Gordon Brown, will find many aspects of the Bush-Blair partnership locked in. Silvio Berlusconi has a good chance of re-election in Italy on April 9, and even his center-left opponent admits his foreign policy on Iraq will be indistinguishable from the current policy, a gradual withdrawal based on the Iraqi government's requests. And many Europeans, after witnessing the violent reaction in the Islamic world over some Danish cartoons, are realizing that the U.S. aim to stomp out Islamist terrorist groups around the globe isn't just the PR cover for some sinister conspiracy tied to oil interests.
Can we talk about poop? Poop floats.
You've heard of Where's Waldo? Where's George Allen?.
GOP = Grand Old Poop
It really stinks.
George Allen makes my skin crawl. No. Worse. He makes my skin slither.
Ducks? I had to get in touch with the DUCKS????
Figuratively speaking! I did not figure that there would be an available population of waterfowl at the ready in AZ, though I might be wrong.
The Quail and Roadrunners should suffice really?
chain of ducks?
Poop on a pedestal, that's what Republicans are.
Blimey, that "news" from Europe has the ring of Truthiness about it.

Republicans want to outlaw toilet paper. Delay sez "let them use leaves, or their hands."
And many Europeans, after witnessing the violent reaction in the Islamic world over some Danish cartoons, are realizing that the U.S. aim to stomp out Islamist terrorist groups around the globe isn't just the PR cover for some sinister conspiracy tied to oil interests.
So this is what a dump in the corner looks like? I know what they smell like but have never had the curiosity to actually look at one.
Yuck.

Lawyer: Bush Left Leak Details to Cheney
WASHINGTON - 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.
It is not known when the conversation between Bush and Cheney took place. The White House has declined to provide the date when the president used his authority to declassify the portions of the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate, a classified document that detailed the intelligence community's conclusions about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

From yahoo...
The administration of President George W. Bush is planning a massive bombing campaign against Iran, including use of bunker-buster nuclear bombs to destroy a key Iranian suspected nuclear weapons facility, The New Yorker magazine has reported in its April 17 issue.
The article by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh said that Bush and others in the White House have come to view Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a potential Adolf Hitler.
...
In recent weeks, the president has quietly initiated a series of talks on plans for Iran with a few key senators and members of the House of Representatives, including at least one Democrat, the report said.
...
Sy Hersh is probably the best investigative journalist of the last half century. If he publishes something of this magnitude, he has the facts to back him up.
This is FUCKING INSANE! You can bet there are conservatives (except the stupid ones) who will recoil at the thought of using nuclear weapons. They also know that Bush is idiotic enough to order a tactical nuclear strike. They are the only ones who can stop Bush before the 2006 elections. Once the war starts, there will be no more elections.
Betcha a red state heifer that the lone democrat is the one and only Joementum.

Wealth, by the sentiments of servility and dependence it produces, makes the rich man stand forward as the principal object of general esteem and deference. In vain are sobriety, integrity and industry, in vain the sublimest powers of mind, and the most ardent benevolence, if their possessor be narrow in his circumstances.
If there are enough of them in the militsry-a basically Conservative outfit-I wonder if we're not talking coup, here.
Mass resignations more likely. From the same article...
"There are very strong sentiments within the military against brandishing nuclear weapons against other countries," the magazine quotes the Pentagon adviser as saying.
The reason why they'll quit is because the US military command knows that...
... bombing Iran could provoke "a chain reaction" of attacks on American facilities and citizens throughout the world and might also reignite Hezbollah.
"If we go, the southern half of Iraq will light up like a candle," the adviser is quoted as telling The New Yorker.

Vermont Democrats Back Bush Impeachment
The vote makes Vermont's Democratic Party committee the fifth to do so, following New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin, party officials in Vermont said.
In 2001, Enron defrauded Snohomish County, WA (my county) by 40 million dollars. I remember the energy rates jumping by 400-500% in one month, and people on the local news looking dazed and asking for some kind of help. Today Enron's lawyers have offered the county 2 mil. Negotiators for the county report FERC regulators are pressuring them to accept.
Sy Hersch;
"A government consultant with close ties to the civilian leadership in the Pentagon said that Bush was “absolutely convinced that Iran is going to get the bomb” if it is not stopped. He said that the President believes that he must do “what no Democrat or Republican, if elected in the future, would have the courage to do,” and “that saving Iran is going to be his legacy.”"

There are three FERC Commissioners. One is Joe Kelliher, who was on Cheney's energy task force and sent emails to lobbyists asking them, "If you were el Duce, what laws would you write?" Another is Nora Brownell who was picked for Bush by, you got it, Ken Lay. The other is an ineffective Dem who recuses herself from all the Western Energy Crisis cases and is divorcing her husband to marry a FERC administrative law judge. Good luck.

Beyond people here at home, I think 99.999% of the planet recoil at the thought of using nuclear weapons. I don't imagine that Bush's Saudi friends would be too happy at the prospect. If he doesn't listen to them, maybe China threatening to stop financing our massive debt would give him a wake-up call.

You can get in a heap of trouble and I don't have enough money to bail you out, let alone buy an island to get married on.

I'm not shutting up.
I'd rather die standing than live on my knees.
Murtha did say that Bush will not be allowed to attack Iran. I wonder if he has some inside infor from the military leadership.

Wouldn't surprise me. The GOP's probably training some angry loner with a copy of "Catcher in the Rye" to take care of Bush. Problem solved as far as his messianic mania, and the GOP sweeps 2006 on a sympathy vote.
Hey, I have to get a bunch of stuff from one laptop running Windows XP to another. Tried to set up a network, but the older computer won't show up.
What am I doing wrong?

Turning off DHCP and makinbg one machine 192.168.0.1 and the other...0.2 works for me. Also running the Network Setup Wiz on both machines first might make DHCP work. Sometimes not, though, for whatever reason.
It does have Ethernet...it's about 4.5 years old. No hub/router...could we fake it with the DSL router?
Should be able to. I have used mine in such a fashion.
I bring up the burner as the easiest way to transfer the files, but now must presume that the files are on the puter w/o a burner.
If you want to take this conversation to one of our respective comment sections, preferably the ghost town, we can get busy.
from the NYT:
U.S. Hurries Plan to Hit Iran, Article Says
WASHINGTON, April 8 — The Bush administration, which publicly advocates negotiations to halt Iran's nuclear program, is accelerating military planning for possible attacks against Iran, and has not ruled out using tactical nuclear weapons, according to a new article.
Thanks, Elmer! I'll give it a shot.

Talk about taking one for the team.
That would make DeLay really look like a piker.
The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown!
I have the original.

Well, I'll try it with the DSL router. And I'll try Elmer's scheme, too. If it doesn't work, you may hear a knock on your virtual door!

I'll have the top of the page open and ready to tech if you require. drop a linne in whatever thread we may have moved to by then.

Watch out for some pro-life/pro-choice poll this week.
I'm up in Bemidji, MN. Saturday evening I received a call -- it was an robo-phone survey on abortion. The text ran like this: "If you would describe yourself as pro-life, opposed to abortion, press one. If you would describe yourself as pro-choice, in favor of abortion rights, press nine."
Well, I duly pressed the "9" key and got a follow up: "Thany you for being pro-life..." whereupon I hung up in disgust.
Then I hit star-6-9 and got the number 918-770-0606. 918 is an OKLAHOMA area code. I called the number and the system told me "That extension is unavailable. Please leave your message at the tone."
Niger embassy forged documents used as basis for Iraq war, paper to report

The question is now and has always been, "Who hired them to forge it"?

Pftftftftftfft. See JMM for all things Niger Forgeries. He's less than impressed.

TPM?
Huh?

Agave; JMM.
Josh knows whereof he speaks on this stuff.
If you're just checking in, I have MoDo's latest at my place. It's an interesting parallel that she draws between Scooter Libby and Judas.
I have a re-occuring fantasy - We talk about what we could have achieved with that budget surplus, when Gore and (uh-oh Lieberman as vice prez...I'm losing my hard on....) uh hem, GORE as an informed prez. Before 911 when so many brilliant people were nearly financed for their energy efficient inventions, water purifying systems, etc.
Remember friends, when we were FINALLY on the cusp of changing the world for the better.
I'm tired of this hyper-vigilance, of monitoring MY government for yet more outright lies. I want to go back to listening to the local and international private good willed citizens who have dedicated their breath and hard-earned knowledge to create solutions to human suffering.
Confirmed: Niger Yellow Cake Documents were forgerd...Bush is a traitor
Talk of attacking Iran will cause them to take preemtive action against our troops in Iraq.
You watch, insurgents weapons and strength will increase.
God... Bush is the worst commander in chief ever!
Dear Ken, we have you by the balls; Yours sincerely: Howard Dean.
