If the administration continues to go after leaks it doesn't like, while continuing to defend and continue the practice of leaks it does like, journalists will have to call them on it.

Please scroll down to the stevemarvin, 04.21.2006 comment for the most concise and comprehensive critique of Tweety I've ever read.
Please read it; it deserves its own thread, IMO, whether Tweety is "Wanker of the Day" or not.
I tried to post it directly, but that line-break thing wouldn't permit it.
BTW, I can't fault commenters for trying to squeeze in long comments or blocks of text by simply removing all of the blank lines, but I don't think that works.
I'd be interested to see if DWD et al agree that there's limit-- say, ten lines (?)-- of unbroken text beyond which even a literate, curious eye tends to glaze over and move on.
I know that I tend to skip past such "tombstones", as the high school newspaper moderator called them. And I bet many others do too.

The case against the CIA Intelligence Officer, Mary McCarthy, fired for her alleged role in leaking information about secret prisons to the Washington Post's Dana Priest smells a little fishy. Let me state at the outset that the officer in question, Mary McCarthy, is an old acquaintance. I hasten to add that I do not consider her a friend. She was my immediate boss in 1988-89 and was instrumental in my decision to leave the CIA and take a job at the State Department's Office of Counter Terrorism. -- Larry Johnson at TPM Cafe.

We can only hope that if the leaking stops in it's entirety not just by this administration but perhaps by future administrations and the more powerful members of congress then the media whores will stop pandering to them so often cause they see their gifts lessening, and perhaps choose to actually cover the news?
i would sacrifice many goats to the loas to have just one Administration official admit "The whole classifying thing is just so much bullshit, you know. We classify everything to keep the public from knowing, not any (ha-ha) "enemies". So We release what We want, and hold what We want, and the point is to avoid any risk of the peasants holding Us accountable."
If nothing else, it might make the average guy relaize that the average gubmint secret info handler is the same as the clod from the driver's license office who's rude and hateful and just pimping for retirement, not Jennifer Garner.

Stanford protesters prevent Bush meeting
Pretty ballsy. Forcing the President to change his schedule. That doesn't happen very ofter:
President Bush's visit to Stanford University's Hoover Institution was quickly moved to another location after more than 1,000 protesters converged around the Hoover tower.
The White House said the protesters blocked the only road into the central areaof the campus where Hoover is located, which forced a meeting with several Hoover fellows to be moved to the campus home of former Secretary of State George Shultz, a Hoover fellow who organized the gathering.
The motorcade instead traveled to the house, which is on the outer edge of campus.
The change in plans delayed the president's arrival by about 15 minutes.
the way I see it, if you have to say it in more than 15 lines, or whatever the limit is, either break it up into two posts, link to the source, or get your own blog.
Amen.
The only time I've been caught by the "too many lines" demon is when I try to post song lyrics or poetry (How does Hecate do it??) late at night.

Air Force One Subject of Internet Hoax
WASHINGTON - A startling Internet video that shows someone spraying graffiti on
President Bush's jet looked so authentic that the Air Force wasn't immediately certain whether the plane had been targeted.
It was all a hoax. No one actually sprayed the slogan "Still Free" on the cowling of Air Force One.The pranksters responsible for the grainy, two-minute Web video — employed by a New York fashion company — revealed Friday how they pulled it off: a rented 747 in California painted to look almost exactly like Air Force One.
"I wanted to do something culturally significant, wanted to create a real pop-culture moment," said Marc Ecko of Marc Ecko Enterprises. "It's this completely irreverent, over-the-top thing that could really never happen: this five-dollar can of paint putting a pimple on this Goliath."
The video shows hooded graffiti artists climbing barbed-wire fences and sneaking past guards with dogs to approach the jumbo jet. They spray-paint a slogan associated with free expression.
After the video began circulating on the Web on Tuesday, the Air Force checked to see whether the plane had been vandalized.

I had a blind date last year with a women that collected cat wall clocks. The kind where the tail swishes to count seconds. Before we left the house she had to synchronize all of the tails. She said she did that everytime she left the house. The was an entire wall filled with swishing tail cat clocks. I wouldn't know since I only went out with her once.

Time to go make the late breakfast and start the yardwork. Oh, and get the veggie garden started, so that there's something to eat after the economy collapses.
This weeks expense is buying a ticket to see Tool at The Orpheum(hopefully). Since it's a relatively small place for them, tix are a bit higher priced than usual.
Oh, I love the Orpheum--sweet venue. Saw David Byrne there when Rei Momo came out. We were in the fourth row, almost center stage. I'm not much of a concert-goer, but that was fucking fantastic.

I was going to say to you that if you opt to use on-line dating sites, please be careful and very, very choosy.
I have dated a few guys from on-line sites, and while I've had some interesting dates, nothing has lasted longer than a month or so. Which is fine by me ~ what works, works, and what doesn't, doesn't.
I'm not in a position to date right at the moment...too much going on. I may try on-line again someday...who knows?

I've dated older men and younger men (and I like younger men): but I'm at the place in life where I'm too old to have children, so I figure that the younger men, should they want kids, are better off with younger women who can still have kids.
The art prof I dated last Fall was on the fence about wanting kids...kind of ended it there for me. 45 trips around the sun is too old to be nursing an infant.
I've had an interesting on-line and telephone relationship with someone since him, but that seems to be stalled at the moment since this person is going through some shit and staying busy to help himself along the way.

Don't think a nuclear attack on Iran is possible? You haven't looked into the tiny, ink-black eyes of Dick Cheney lately. You haven't seen Rumsfeld's arrogant sneer, seen Bush looking confused and lost, wondering where all his "capital" went, desperately hunting for a legacy and finding only irresponsibility and self-righteousness and death.

This week the cost of the metals in a penny rose above 0.8 cents, more than twice the value of last fall. Because the government spends at least another six-tenths of a cent -- above and beyond the cost of the metal -- to make each penny, it will lose nearly half a cent on each new one it mints.

About N. Todd Pritsky
While enamored with technology, Todd subscribes to Martin Luther King's notion that "we have guided missiles and misguided men." Our scientific accomplishments are truly wonderful, and so are our moral capacities--eventually, we will learn to balance them all.
By now, you can see that Todd majored in Philosophy at Colby College*, and somehow parlayed that into a job as the Director of E-Learning Courseware* (and a Senior Member of Technical Staff) at Hill Associates in Colchester, VT. Todd also studied Russian, and has many Russian technical terms* written on the dry erase board in his office. Convinced that he will head Hill's Moscow office one day, Todd is trying desperately to retain his command of the language. Yet it slips away...
Todd has been using the Internet since 1987 for such diverse activities as sending e-mail to far-flung friends and family, researching his Cherokee* ancestry, learning the lines to Monty Python* movies...oh, and staying current in his chosen profession. The Internet allows us all to follow in the footsteps of Albert Einstein, who believed it is a waste of time to clutter one's mind with things that are already written down. An idea whose time has come, given the exhausting pace of technological change.
Todd - who seems oddly compelled to write about himself in the third person - and his wife Stefanie live in Fletcher, VT* with their dog Cairo and cat Saffron.
Wow, we are full of ourself, aren't we? And what happened to wifey?

This week the cost of the metals in a penny rose above 0.8 cents, more than twice the value of last fall. Because the government spends at least another six-tenths of a cent -- above and beyond the cost of the metal -- to make each penny, it will lose nearly half a cent on each new one it mints.
Time to start sorting out all of the "all copper" pennies, (pre '79 IIRC) cause the value of the copper therin has got to be worth more than a penny if the above is correct.
WooooooHooooooo!!!, I'm gonna be rich bitches!!!

I don't mind that the overwhelming majority is genuinely and cheerfully OK with the line-break limits imposed to banish fy.
I had no use for fy either, and I do like seeing that "comment scrubbed" line.
But I do resent the breezy dismissal of the merits of the pre-limit environment, especially when it's expressed or implied that taking notice of the limits constitutes a breach of propriety or taste.
So don't tell me that I "should" only comment when I have a brief, pointed thought to express, or that I "should" get my own damn blog if I have so much to say, or that I "should" just STFU because the question has been decided in favor of the best quality under imperfect circumstances. It's unbecomingly censorious, an incivility which undercuts the message of civility you're ostensibly expressing.
Because it's all very much a function of what each Atriot brings to the site. Those who post primarily to blogwhore in varying degrees are obviously going to be just fine with the "less is more" status quo. Those who are naturally laconic will be amazed that anyone could bump up against the invisible walls. (And the naturally laconic and inarticulate are always inclined to take maximum credit for it, as if they possessed "perfect pitch" in a world of tin ears.)
Notice I take the trouble to use links and avoid pasting large blocks of text, etc. Whether successful or not, my ideal is to be as lucid and accessible as possible, regardless of whether a given comment is successful.
I was glad Atrios dumped avatars, because in my experience they created performance problems. But I don't get all huffy when someone occasionally wishes for them, or laments their loss. And I don't feel as though they're absolutely tacky, and that it's like criticizing the furniture.
There's a down side you don't see. [insert multiple extinct anger-smileys here]

I just had a call from a friend of mine.
If there is ever an example of why chastity pledges and promises to be a virgin to your poppa are a bad thing, this is it.
My friend's son and his fiance' both took chastity vows. They marry. She leaves him after 9 months for another man because she felt that she was *missing* something. She gets pregnant. Other man dumps her. She goes back to husband, who begrudgingly accepts her.
Now how fucked up is the life of that child ~ all three of them, actually, going to turn out?
The (Bush energy) plan does not include any measures that would reduce gas prices in the short term, the White House acknowledges. But with Republicans worried that the increasing cost to drive could hurt them in the voting booth this year, Bush said he understands Americans are hurting.
"I know the folks here are suffering at the gas pump," Bush told an audience Friday in San Jose. "Rising gasoline prices is like taking a — is like a tax, particularly on the working people and the small business people."
But to address the immediate problem, Bush offered only a pledge that "if we find any price gouging it will be dealt with firmly."
Ooooooooooh - take that, price gouging oil companies! Now watch this drive...
Oh, the state with the highest per capita death toll among American troops?
As compared to the 100% non casualty rate for Republican chicken hawks.

What's up with this, removing rational for war with Iran?
WASHINGTON (AFP) - US intelligence chief John Negroponte said
Iran's resumption of uranium enrichment is "troublesome" but the country is still years away from having enough fissile material to make a nuclear weapon.
ADVERTISEMENT
Negroponte expressed concern both about Iran's claim to have resumed uranium enrichment with a cascade of 164 centrifuges in Natanz and extreme statements made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"The developments in Iran -- clearly they're troublesome," he said in response to questions after a speech to the National Press Club.
"By the same token, our assessment at the moment is that even though we believe that Iran is determined to acquire or obtain a nuclear weapon, that we believe that it is still a number of years off before they are likely to have enough fissile material to assemble into, or to put into a nuclear weapon; perhaps into the next decade," he said.

Some storm victims got duplicate or extra benefits because of FEMA errors, agency spokesman Eugene Brezany said, and others might have received benefits for expenses that later were reimbursed by insurance settlements.
Some others benefited "by intentional misrepresentation" or the mistaken belief that secondary residences qualified for payments, he said.
More people could get repayment notices as more applications are reviewed, Brezany said. Recipients could have received $2,000 to $26,200.
Had FEMA been adequately staffed and those staff members adequately trained, do you think this would have happened?

Hey Vicki - did you hear my story about the plumber? Wednesday night about 9, while the plumbers were still working, I was sitting in my closet smoking and the plumber came to tell me the cops were here.
Yesterday, when the plumber came back to finish, since I've gotten to know him pretty well, I casually remarked that I had freaked smooth out when the cops came because I was getting high. He said: You freaked - they started looking in the van and I thought I was busted for sure.
Heh. Had a feeling. He also deals. He'll be back by on Monday. He gave me what he had yesterday - and o my god!

``As journalists receive classified leaks from senior administration officials quite regularly, at some point it will be appropriate for them to reveal this fact to the public. If the administration continues to go after leaks it doesn't like, while continuing to defend and continue the practice of leaks it does like, journalists will have to call them on it.''
So you think somehow what the Bush administration attack on a free press and on free speech itself is the PRESS's problem to fix?
Bull.
Shit.
