I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
First!
trud
Spy on me!
let's keep the foliage out of it, 'kay?
From a satellite? Well Blue-Freaking-Thunder, meet Tom Clancy!
Open up your gullets libs and get ready for some pancakes straight outta gammy's kitchen.
Well, I hope this sinks Hayden's nomination for good. Bastard rat-turd!
Shocked? No... As someone on this blog said some time ago, "And this time next year, our shit will be blue, the sky will stink, and Republicans will still all be criminals."
there's just no end to it, is there?
Shocked?
As in a cattle prod to the nethers by the NSA?
you can count on Joe Lieberman to propose changing the law to make satellite-based spying on Americans legal...
They're hoping the market will lose 120 points so we won't notice. Oh, right, it did.
As in a cattle prod to the nethers by the NSA?
As in a cattle prod to the nethers of the NSA?
I fixed your typo.
So is Bill Bennett laying odds on Tice making it to next week in one piece?
Just remember to look skyward and wave.
No pancakes or kool-aid for me. Don't you have a housefull of stray cats to attend to, "grandma" or are you going to just let them crap all over the place? Someone really ought to call the authorities - I mean, it's a real health hazard.
We shouldn't rush to be shocked at new revelations of the Administration's wrongdoings. He's our president and deserves our support.
Ooh Jeff Koinage, the man with the lovely accent on CNN.
. . . and yet 63% of Americans will say it's OK if it keeps the boogeyman under the bed from biting their toes at night.
It's Friday, 4 pm Central.
What fresh hell hath the Bush Administration unleashed?
What devious activities have they tried to slide past us this week?
So that's what that glinting thing was over the backyard when I was sunbatheing nude, hmmm?
So, will we GET to hear the details in order to be shocked, or will all this be kept classified?
Amigos,
May I present:
¡Maldiciones!
A modest proposal for incivility.
so.
NSA Whistleblower To Expose More Unlawful Activity: ‘People…Are Going To Be Shocked’
CongressDaily reports that former NSA staffer Russell Tice will testify to the Senate Armed Services Committee next week that not only do employees at the agency believe the activities they are being asked to perform are unlawful, but that what has been disclosed so far is only the tip of the iceberg. Tice will tell Congress that former NSA head Gen. Michael Hayden, Bush’s nominee to be the next CIA director, oversaw more illegal activity that has yet to be disclosed.

Marines Killed in Tank Accident in Iraq
By THOMAS WAGNER
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Four Marines drowned when their tank rolled off a bridge and plunged into a canal, the military said Friday, adding that while the accident occurred in a Sunni insurgent stronghold, it was not the result of an enemy action.
see just an accident - happy mothers day.
Since there's no recent open thread, this is WAY off-topic:
I'm taking a poll of best political bumper stickers and best nicknames for Bush and Cheney over at my site. Please stop by and let me know your suggestions.
http://jimthecrazyliberal.blogspot.com/
This quite possibly could put bush's approval ratings in the teens with Darth Vader. Can't wait to hear what Mr. Tice, has to say. Wonder how the repukes will spin this one?
“I think the people I talk to next week are going to be shocked when I tell them what I have to tell them. It’s pretty hard to believe,” Tice said. “I hope that they’ll clean up the abuses and have some oversight into these programs, which doesn’t exist right now.” …
I wonder if they saw the giant "Suck it, Bush!" sign on my roof.
Ah, the good old economic system set up by our imperial administration, the region of Nigeria rich in oil is an area that is dirt poor. The citizens see virtually no benefit.
Well, that could explain the e-mail problems I've been having with liberal organizations and some activists, and hell, even with certain people from Eschaton.
I'll admit to a sad feeling about this. How many times have we told each other in the past five years, 'This is it! They've gone too far! The scales will fall from their eyes, and the forces of right will triumph!', only to be told a few weeks later that it's Ok, and if it isn't, it's Saddam's, Osama's or Clinton's fault?
Nothing much to do but keep showing up, is there?
Oh man! I just posted this link in the last dead thread!
Do I get a gold star?
“I hope that they’ll clean up the abuses and have some oversight into these programs, which doesn’t exist right now.”
"Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order."
So, whose basement is this guy going to hide in until next week?
I'd volunteer, except my house probably is under surveillance already.
“I think the people I talk to next week are going to be shocked when I tell them what I have to tell them. It’s pretty hard to believe,” Tice said.
Goddam, somebody get this guy a few bodyguards, and tell him to stay away from small planes and elevators.
I have to go soon here, but to what do you all speculate he's referring?
Tapping in on phone sex? Or something more diabolical? Like tapping into political opponents in 2004?
Or something worse?
I fell off a bridge on a sled one winter -- but fall off a bridge in a TANK? Oy!
God fucking damn it. Congress, get off your collective ass and kick these freaks to the curb. For the rest of us, if Congress won't do it's job, then elect people who will.
19%, here we come!
The President knows best.
The President knows best.
Oh help me mommy
The President knows best.
The president knows best.
This Fascist Dictatorship Brought to You by the Republican Party!
I'd clutch my pearls in shock if I had any.
no Fitzivus today?
I bet political opponents
Beyond the tipping point.
I'm having outrage fatigue
Fuck Fitz. He's just blowing smoke up our ass.
Well, I hope this sinks Hayden's nomination for good. Bastard rat-turd!
I hope so too, but we know that a lot more than that needs to get sunk along with him. He's just a facilitator of the Administration's regime.
Just what is it going to take for the sheep to smell the shit?
And cue the Lee Greenwood...
And I proud to be an American,
Where at least, I know, I'm free...
Wonder how the repukes will spin this one?
"It's always tragic when a man takes his own life..."
So I presume the papers have Tice's obituary on hand.
Oh man! I just posted this link in the last dead thread!
Do I get a gold star?
You can get a gold star after we get the unicorn ponies wearing crotchless panties and carrying hecklers carrying heads on pikes.
We're at 29%!!!
Where are the unicorn ponies wearing crotchless panties and carrying hecklers carrying heads on pikes???
I am deeply disappointed.
Maybe this Tice fellow will tell us, Vicki. That's what I want to know, too. Exactly what have they been doing? Because nobody is buying this mindless "fightin' terra!" bullshit.
No Rove indictment and Deadwood gets canceled, even though the HBO cocksuckers had previously greenlighted another season. Bummer.
At any rate, it's a good day for...
Catblogging!
Sure, we might be shocked. The question is, will we think it's funny?
I'd clutch my pearls in shock if I had any.
NTodd will let you clutch his pearls for fifteen cents.
Because nobody is buying this mindless "fightin' terra!" bullshit.
(Auggy and David are.)
I'm not certain I understand what kind of troll grandma is ...
Perhaps grandma is cooking some meth in her kitchen and that's why she never makes any sense.
Ooh Jeff Koinage, the man with the lovely accent on CNN.
attaturk
Jeff Koinage? That can't be his given name.
I wonder what Tice is talking about.
If it's just wholesale vacuuming, or massive databases and data mining, or listening in on the top guys at the IAEA or foreigners, etc, that's not too shocking.
If they're listening on reporters, political activists, the Kerry campaign, then that would qualify.
Perhaps not to people here, but regular people.
What would be worse than torture and rendition? i don't think that can happen.
19%, here we come!
Is that a challenge?
Are you up for more frilly wear?
And cue the Lee Greenwood...
And I proud to be an American,
Where at least, I know, I'm free...
Free to go to work and to Church and to raise your children to be good god-fearing obedient Americans, that's what Lee meant, Mr. SmartGuy.
What's with all this bullshit haloscan warnings telling me I have too many empty lines? My original post had all of two sentences in it with a single blank line in between then. Thus technically the warning should have said too many blank line, not blank line(s).
I don't know but Haloscan keeps getting suckier and suckier!

His protective force field might get in the way.
Well,I say Godwin's Law is dead and gone, and any comparisons of Bushco and his rightwing media whores to Hitler's Reich and Goerring are in danger of becoming unfairly harsh to the Krauts. Glen beck and the other bloviators would be in favor of ovens for Muslims and Mexicans, and if Shock and Awe wasn't genocidal, then I just don't know.
Could y'all ease up on the "Cocksucker' stuff?
/cocksucker
Deadwood gets canceled, even though the HBO cocksuckers had previously greenlighted another season. Bummer.
Oh, Mr.Litz will be verklempt. Me, I hated that show. I call it the Cocksucka Show. I never got the point of it.
I miss "Dead Like Me." That's another show that was supposed to have a second season and they yanked at the last minute.
This fella better stash himself somewhere far away and reeeeealllll hard to find for a while, hmm?
Am I correct in understanding that the government has records of those phone calls people are making that you hear in the check-out line or on the bus -- you know the long, pointless, narrative kind. All the communications between teenagers chattering and texting endlessly about the subtle nuances of youth culture are part of this huge government database?
Well, with any luck, any sort of AI program designed to analyze that crap will probably just throw up.
Matthews is amazingly coherent today, regarding the CIA: It seems like Bush wants to use the CIA to confirm what he already believes, then when it doesn't work out he blames them for it. He's trying to stifle them first with Goss and now maybe with Hayden.
Good for you Chris.
Are you up for more frilly wear?
smalfish, terrorist
You should see my closet!
Jeff Koinage? That can't be his given name. -Holden
He's money and he doesn't even know it.
I hope the NSA releases Hayden's phone records.
How bout some choice bits from America's Taliban to make you day complete?
Oh hell fucking no. Too many eyes are looking at them. If something were to happen to Tice, for instance, the whole thing might blow up. I doubt that even Bushco and their corpo-fascist pals are crazy enough to try something like that.
Going to be Shocked
That's what the farmer said before I pissed on his electric fence.
"NTodd will let you clutch his pearls for fifteen cents."
--Stunt Woman
I was sure it was a quarter. Maybe he's having a sale this week?
Could y'all ease up on the "Cocksucker' stuff?
Sorry.
I'm betting that this regards to the surveillance of political opponents, possibly during the '04 presidential campaign. Subversion of Democracy, anyone ?
Somebody put this guy in a safe-house this weekend !
Well, have a fun evening.
I'm off to visit some friends and avoid Italian men who make confessions to me like the plague.
Later, gators. I'll prolly be back around prime time...feeling prime (maybe).
Wonder how the repukes will spin this one?
"It's always tragic when a man takes his own life..."
dave™©
Could be this is why he gave a small statement about what his testimony would be about. I am thinking it keeps him a bit safer.
I hope the NSA releases Hayden's phone records.
We can still buy them for $100.
That's what the farmer said before I pissed on his electric fence.

And he was proven fucking right.
Oh hell fucking no. Too many eyes are looking at them. If something were to happen to Tice, for instance, the whole thing might blow up. I doubt that even Bushco and their corpo-fascist pals are crazy enough to try something like that.
B1 Bummer
Word. And if Tice knows, others know.
I'm not certain I understand what kind of troll grandma is ...
grandma is a 'dith' kind of troll. since calling it dith, it has gone away.
Tice is a little disgruntled weasel, couldn't take the heat, going for the easy media cash-out now.
Hey, Vicki - this one's for you!
Conservatarians are people who trust faceless bureaucrats to respect self-monitored limits on their use of spying techniques.
the rights smeat will be "he was recently fired as coach of the minnesota vikings"
Nothing, and I mean nothing, shocks me coming from this administration.
Let's hope Russell Tice lives through the weekend.
i look forward to my daily shock treatments.
I was sure it was a quarter. Maybe he's having a sale this week?
mer
He's always charged me a quarter. If he's been giving Stunt Woman a discount I'll sue.
Oh, Mr.Litz will be verklempt. Me, I hated that show. I call it the Cocksucka Show. I never got the point of it.
Well the third season is about to start, its the next season that got whacked. So you do have more Cocksuckas to sit through 
Matthews is amazingly coherent today, regarding the CIA:
Matthews and Hitchens once had a thoughtful discussion of the death penalty, and Tweety, typically couldn't quite bring himself to admit how fucked up it was,and Hitchens pointed out that XX percentage of people now opposed it (in the forties, I think it was), and Tweety responded, completely out of his ass, "Well yeah, those are probably the people who think Clinton shouldn't have been impeached."
It is always on his mind.
Dave, that's great! I love you for that!
I tell you, my favorite tee shirt of all time is the Moonbat tee shirt I bought from NYMary at EschaCon.
She did a great job all around!
I will wager that Russell Tice will have an accident or be taking up unknown residence at the NSA'a expense before he actually gets a chance to testify.
Did Tice get an invitation to go quail hunting this weekend?
Well, with any luck, any sort of AI program designed to analyze that crap will probably just throw up
"ohmygawd he was so, like, totally awesome!
"ohmygawd I like, so, totally, get it!"
"ohmygawd it's like so, totally gross!"
"ohmygawd, like, I know!"
"like, yeah!"
/barf
Mrs. Gummo has decided that Matthews must be getting monthly brainwashing treatments; towards the end of each 30-day period it starts to wear off and he starts making sense; then he gets his shots and turns back into the wingnut we know and loathe.
You should see my closet!
I'm betting that door is usually FIRMLY closed, tight.

I have been paid to let go of them, however.

Chris Matthews appears to me to be a human weathervane.
Timmeh sucks up to power.
Matthews dodges with the polls. That makes him a man of the people.

Haw! That was Mike Tice. Not to be confused with Mike Tyson. Although Mike Tyson himself is pretty much confusion incarnate, but whatevah . . .
Remember when the committee asked Gonzales about this crap and he was unable to deny that they had actually killed and renditioned (did I make up a word?) Americans as a result?

I grew up in L.A. Same speech pattern.
The term "cocksucker" kinda goes hand-in-hand with any discussion of Deadwood -- I'm sure no offense was intended. After all, many of us... 
I miss Dead Like Me, too. Have both seasons on DVD, but it was just starting to look like it could get really interesting -- and then it got the boot. They wrapped it up pretty well though, considering. I miss The Old Days -- Six Feet Under, Queer as Folk, all this great stuff to look forward to on Sunday nights.
Ahhhhh, my very first blogwhore.
Joo deed a lovely job, el Gato.
Remember Bush rule #1.
...that's great! I love you for that!
It'a all yours, gratis... put up an Eschacon II Cafe Press site on your never-updated Eschacon blog and charge whatever... I think Walter Neff has contacted you about doing some stuff, hasn't he?
...hinting that it might have involved the illegal use of space-based satellites and systems to spy on U.S. citizens. …
Oh my.
And who would these U.S. citizens be?
Here's what I wonder. The feds went to the phone companies for land lines, it seems. No cell carrier that I've read about has confirmed they participated.
But would the NSA need to talk to them about it at all? Could they log all cell calls (or listen) remotely, and the cell carriers not even know about it?
Grandma knows insane when she sees it.
"But Tice, branded “paranoid” by agency doctors before he was stripped of his security clearance five months ago, making him unemployable by any intelligence agency, was warned by NSA that that he had to first provide the agency and its parent, the Department of Defense, with the information he intended to disclose and the names of people he wanted to talk to."
Perhaps a teenage argot codespeak would serve the Masters of Terrorism well in their cellular conversations. The Navajo would have nothing on 'em...
BUSH: Whatcha' eatin' there Dick?
CHENEY: Red beans and Tice.
BUSH: You mean redbeans and rice, right?
CHENEY: Uh, yeah.
The big battle will be if Tice can testify, and if so in public.
The administration will scream national security, but with Bush losing 7 in 10 people, a teetering Congress and a media that finally has woken up, will that fly?
Remember when the committee asked Gonzales about this crap and he was unable to deny that they had actually killed and renditioned (did I make up a word?) Americans as a result?

OT: Recently lb0313 very kindly sent me a copy of Chris Rose's collection of post-Katrina columns.
I got the book in the mail today. Reading it is making me cry, and laugh, and cry some more.
If you want to learn a bit more about the human side of what Katrina refugees and those who returned to NOLA have had to deal with, buy his book. It is $13.00 and a portion of the proceeds go to the Tipitina's Foundation, which is helping musicians return to their home, repairing damaged homes and replacing lost instruments, among other things.

Did eu see Zaph's "pliedge"?
I miss Six Feet Under, too.
I really didn't think the last season was all that depressing.
Grandma will not tolerate being called a troll by unbridled libs.
None of this would be possible in a nation where people didn't love being lied to.
Loved the end of 6 Feet when everybody ages to the end of their lives.
Me, I've got an 8 year old and a 9 year old, so they watch 'High School Musical' a lot...
"insane" you mean Tice believes that god chose him for his position?
See, in the past, there was nothing like the internets. So if you are some kind of heavy operator in the spook industry or elsewhere in government, you can no longer control the flow of information about things you may want to hide. As long as someone gets the information and gets it on the net, there's no stopping it. It's out there forever, and way to many people will see it to ever keep all inquiry away. Slowly but surely, the post WWII government secrecy cult is going to be undermined, whether they like it or not.
"But Tice, branded “paranoid” by agency doctors before he was stripped of his security clearance five months ago, making him unemployable by any intelligence agency, was warned by NSA that that he had to first provide the agency and its parent, the Department of Defense, with the information he intended to disclose and the names of people he wanted to talk to."
Unfortunately, all those folks have an agenda.
wapo has a new poll:
66% say whatever the unlawful activity is, it's OK.
Wouldn't you know Ntodd would be first to step up to the plate and as a volunteer to boot. Who is next? Simels? Phila? Atta?
"If we had this program in place in 2001 and it prevented 9/11, wouldn't it be worth it, huh, huh, wouldn't it, don't you think?"
That's such an easy question to answer: NO.
Likewise, it wouldn't be "worth it" to put cameras in everyone's house hooked up the police station to prevent John Wayne Gacy's crimes.
Matthews question is vile and the only appropriate response is to say: "Fuck you, Chris, you fat rich white cocksucking whore. You're an idiot."

Looking at mirrors again, eh?
Are you telling me that Rove has had all those phone records, and hasn't looked up the logs on Seymore Hersh?
Why would Bush spend any time tracking down terrorists? Unless there's a clear and immediate political benefit, I don't see the motivation. There solution for everything is A) Give Bush more power B) Give more money to my contributors.
NSA doesn't do nearly as much for tracking down terrorists as it does leakers, journalists and Democrats.
"If we had this program in place in 2001 and it prevented 9/11, wouldn't it be worth it, huh, huh, wouldn't it, don't you think?"
Funnily enough, they say it WAS in place in 2001 and no, it hasn't prevented jack shit.

Discredited already.
Anyway, they wouldn't have needed this program in 2001, Bush got a PDB titled "Osama Determined To Strike Inside U.S." and basically did nothing since he was on vacation and couldn't be bothered.
"Now watch this drive."

They are asking the wrong question.
Let's try: "How do you feel about Karl Rove being able to use the NSA wiretap information against Democrats?"
That's the angle I'm not hearing. Hey, the guy knows who's a NOC and who's not in the CIA, so I'm sure he can access this NSA info also. I'll come in real handy for disrupting Democratic local caucuses and primaries.
Thanks for th elink, gramma.
As CQ reported on April 15, Mark Klein, a retired AT&T worker, gave a sworn statement that he saw NSA technicians set up a room at the company’s San Francisco switching station to tap into the phone calls and e-mail traffic carried by the telecommunication giant.
""If we had this program in place in 2001 and it prevented 9/11, wouldn't it be worth it, huh, huh, wouldn't it, don't you think?""
If we had a program in place that was sanctioned by law, with protections, limitations on retention of data, defined procedures and accountabilities?
You mean that kind of program? Not including the fact that the people who put it into motion are supposed to not be idealogical nut cases with rampant desires of totalitarian conquest.
A fine, fine program.

I concur
Plus, I always liked Brenda.
Eh, I liked her better when she was the fucked up sex addict than the Caitlin Flanagan-wannabe mom.
Apropos of nothing, did I mention that I quit smoking cigarettes* while simultaneously going away for summer school and moving into my crappy student apartment and being alone way to much, and my medal must have gotten lost in the mail?
*mostly. I've been smoking one per day. and I have a certifiable need for a coupla drinks tonight, so all bets are off until tomorrow. But still.
Would you like a tissue, El Gato? Or should I just lick your tears off as your mama would have done?

No offence to suckers of cock intended by any means. As others have mentioned you can't talk Deadwood without mentioning c_________s.

But if there where bad witches with armies of flyling monkies, then wouldn't everybody want a wizard to protet them, whether or no he was really just a little man behind a curtain.
I tell ya I wish I had those sparkly red pumps to carry me back home safe and sound. I wouldn't wear'em with the blue gingham dress though, that color makes my hair look too yellow, and the interent kooks will all start calling me Tweety again, but I do like a nice full skirt to hide my...what...oh shit..those are on...?

BECK: Blowing up Iran. I say we nuke the bastards. In fact, it doesn't have to be Iran, it can be everywhere, anyplace that disagrees with me. Hang on just a second, is there any more [former "American Idol" contestant] Clay Aiken? Maybe we should just listen to them. We should listen to -- we should listen to the president of Iran. We should listen to President Tom [Beck's nickname for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]. And say what, what, what do you want? How can we be friends? Why can't we just all get along? Who was your favorite on American Idol, President Tom?
All these former Bushies need to get together for a giant press conference/photo op and go on the record now, not just dribble out their complaints. They need to scream from the steps of the Capitol.
Sucks when your source disproves your point, don't it gramms?
Nobody's been covering this, so what the hell. The Yes Men punked Halliburton.
Second-to-last season of 6FU was pretty bad, though...
Yeah, I esp. disliked that final episode revelation regarding who killed Nate's wife. Talk about out of the blue!

"If we had this program in place in 2001 and it prevented 9/11, wouldn't it be worth it, huh, huh, wouldn't it, don't you think?"
I don't recall ever reading in the papers of the Founders of some absolute, non-negotiable choice between rights and safety. It's a balance, a matter of acceptable compromise, an art which has been smashed to death in the past half-decade.
Plus, I always liked Brenda.

here you go, from thursday's show:
MATTHEWS: John, do you think that the president is going to pull this thing with Karl Rove? according to the online column in “Newsweek” by Howard Fineman, I read it late last night, he says if these numbers continue to go south on the president, they‘ve got a doomsday plan which is to just scare the heck out of people about the Democrats, about impeachment, investigations, all kinds of left-wing behavior.
Eh, I liked her better when she was the fucked up sex addict than the Caitlin Flanagan-wannabe mom.
Yep. There was that great moment when he figured out what was going on and said "Who the hell are you?" and she answered "I'm the woman who fucked you in a closet two hours after we met without knowing your name."
Busted, Nate. Totally busted.
Plus, I always liked Brenda.
They made their most interesting character more boring as the show went on, I thought
NSA doesn't do nearly as much for tracking down terrorists as it does leakers, journalists and Democrats.
See, who says our spooks can learn?
This is old tricky dick stuff.
Shocked, but most likely, not surprised.
He's safe while he's not yeswithstanding.

You made me LOL.
this is also an example of insane

' he saw NSA technicians set up a room at the company’s San Francisco switching station to tap into the phone calls and e-mail traffic '
gotta stop gay marriages before the Rapture.
And what evidence does Twatty Tweety offer to support his tacit claim that whatever the NSA is doing now would have stopped 9/11? That is meaningless, garbage rhetoric. It's entirely hypothetical to claim it would stop a similar attack now, for pete's sakes. Much less one that happened!
You do know that's the oldest smear trick in the book, don't you?

Mrs. Gummo has decided that Matthews must be getting monthly brainwashing treatments; towards the end of each 30-day period it starts to wear off and he starts making sense; then he gets his shots and turns back into the wingnut we know and loathe.

Wait 'til you tell them bank records are next. Then pause, then tell them it's already happening.
So, Tweety, Bush should get credit now for having a spying program that nobody can say would have stopped 9/11, and nobody can say will stop any future attacks, either? How's that, again?
Since when is calling for impeachment "left wing behavior"? Don't tell Newt Gingrich and Henry Hyde.
I don't recall ever reading in the papers of the Founders of some absolute, non-negotiable choice between rights and safety.
That's right.
Matthews' vile question is just script-reciting on behalf of the fundies because (they never cease to claim) each human life is "priceless."
It's a total pile of crap, of course. Always has been.

""If we had this program in place in 2001 and it prevented 9/11, wouldn't it be worth it, huh, huh, wouldn't it, don't you think?""
or if we had a competent national security advisor who took the warnings seriously;
or if we had a vice president who had convened any meeting of his national security team in the 9 months preceeding the wtc attacks;
or if the fbi had taken the threat analysis of its local agents seriously;
or ... well, you get the idea. there were many other alternatives that negate the need to spy on americans. not to mention that the datamining being done now is more useful after the fact, and highly unlikely to be useful in preventing a terrorist attack.

Oh, and that hightly-touted Conference Board's consumer confidence bullshit just took a hit:
The University of Michigan consumer sentiment index fell to 79.0 in May -- it's the lowest level since October's 74.2 reading -- from 87.4 in April. Economists expected a much smaller decline to about 86.4, according to a survey conducted by MarketWatch.
"We think this drop reflects the sudden surge in gas prices," said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics. "If sentiment stays at this level -- it might even decline further -- you should expect a serious slowing" in consumption.
Not me, Daddy - I expected it. I think there are all kinds of things going on that once the air hits them they will smell so bad that Mr. Bush is going to run away run away...
Let's hope this guy doesn't have some kind of car accident comeing up here. Stay alive, man.
Bushco is very good at branding their critics as insane or unbalanced. They learned it from Krauthammer, who was only self-diagnosing. Bush has dismantled most of the apparatus needed to defend us against terrorism, including the CIA and the NSA, as well as his now-famous apppointments of those most like him (incompetent boobs) to run FEMA and other once-important lifesaving agencies. Nobody hates like a Bush family member, especially the sociopathic failure that has stolen the White House and used his power against American citizens far more effectively than against non-domestic enemies. We have a president that hates Americans unless they are rich and white and suck him off publicly. Grandma is just an idiotic sychophant without an original thought, full of the fear that Bush has created by his own incompetence.

Exactly - they didn't even include the standard question asking how familiar the respondent was with the topic.

And what evidence does Twatty Tweety offer to support his tacit claim that whatever the NSA is doing now would have stopped 9/11?
If Bushco didn't cancel the active FBI investigations into terrorism that were going on (the FBI were looking at very suspicious financial transactions of certain rich Saudis, as I recall) and the powers that be actually used the LEGAL powers that were already had available to them, then one could say the same thing- 9/11 would have been stopped. They were aware of who many of the bad guys were. They just didn't do anything to stop them.
I love Big Love, too. Hubby seems to like it, too, but he's an honorary lesbian so you can't go by him.

God, that's so sad.
My grandfather cheated on my grandmother (my dad's parents- this isn't box wine grandma, this is jilted fundamentalist tightwad grandma).
They got a divorce in 1965. Not a great year to be divorced in middle America.
But then, the issue was not really the infidelity- the infidelity was caused by my grandmother's depression, which caused her to choose celibacy in her marriage, which caused grandfather warren to screw around.
Sad sad sad. But at least today maybe they could have gotten some counseling . . .

They shipped the flowers fed-ex from memphis to gainesville to ft. lauderdale back to gainesville and they're still sitting on a truck somewhere.

I'm a one woman man and am only interested in love but it wasn't always that way - there was a time in my life when my hormones got the better of me (and a few others I might add)
friend of mine, who's been married 7 months (with her spouse for 6 years prior to the wedding), discovered "polyamory" through a book called "The Ethical Slut." Now, with the grudging acquiescence of her husband, she's experimenting with sleeping with another guy. She claimed it gives her a Zen attitude about relationships, and she enjoys a certain detachment. She is now slowly realizing that it may not be all that and a bag of chips.
Y'know, you invite another person into your marriage and you're multiplying the problem you're not addressing tenfold.
Yes, some people can live like that, in a commune of love and sex, swapping partners and reveling in their freedom, but a fair majority of people are not socialized in that way.
The Lou Dobbs crowd is 100% for sending troops o the Mexican border. Tired troops with frayed nerves on the border. Sounds like a plan.

That could backfire. I'll never forget the story of the perfect couple, high school sweethearts, with great children in their teens who lived in Ankeny, IA. She started an affair with her hubbie's best friend. Hubbie set up a hidden video camera in their bedroom, where sshe and the guy met during the day (Oy). One morning, he got up, shot her, his two kids (son and daughter), called the cops, and then killed himself.
He not only knew what was going on.

His support and attempted sale of these "ideas" was based on his reasoned belief it would surprise international terrorists organizations throughout the world and put them on notice that United States was serious when dealing with terrorism. Ohhh Boy! Am I surprised the NSA management personnel has been continually instructing staff to circumvent reliable oversight mechanisms within the intelligence field of american government? ... nope ... but it is just another example of what a pathetic shambles this freedom loving and promoting country really is and has become.

Exactly - anyone not wanting to get caught keeps it to him- or herself. My response to being put in those kinds of positions is to say that depending on the issue I am fine not volunteering information, but asked a direct question I'm not going to lie about it. I'm generally in favor of encouraging intra-relationship communication, in particular *before* someone decides to violate trust. Afterwards I don't have a 'right' answer.
Halfdan: loved your comments on local florist's dying not to make another FTD "Mums in a coffee mug" bouquet.

I don't mean to sound prissy or sanctimonious but I have made it a cornerstone of my personal philosophy to not interfere in other people's relationships and family life if at all possible.
I do not tell secrets.
I correspond by email with the youngest daughter of one of my closest friends. They both know I will not reveal anything to her mother that she doesn't want me to.
I do not stick my nose in even where I see something I think is wrong - like substance abuse. I do not believe in interventions outside of family only. It's none of my business.

Unless both people somehow are able to completely dehumanize sex, I doubt that it's possible.
And I really doubt that you can truly dehumanize sex.
Ummm, I've seen one that did. Not indefinitely, but for a period.
Yeah, I guess. The divorce usually comes down the road a piece, from what I've seen. Someone usually wants to stop before the other person does, however, and that's never good.
I do know one pair of couples who did this, and all four of them (and their kids) lived together for a while, then both couples divorced and remarried the other direction. I guess that's sort of successful....

Not to be sanctimonious either but I've found that there are very few things in life I do perfectly. I'm a lousy cook, a lousy housekeeper, a terribly absent-minded father, and sometimes distracted at work.
But if there's one thing I know how to do, it's being loyal to my wife. I figure if I can stay in love with her, all my other faults in life will be forgiven.

How much do you want to bet they'd also "control the border" with Mexico on this side, too, meaning people approaching it from the north would have to explain what they're doing or go through some extra controls? Earlier today, I read something about a film director who's having trouble going to Cannes because the Dept. of Homeland Security has put some sort of hold on his passport. What kind of crap is that?

What is Ralph Reed hiding?
.......... Lobbyist and Lt. Governor candidate Ralph Reed keeps telling Georgia voters he wants to discuss his "past work as a consultant" "squarely and forthrightly (Source: Ralph Reed, Remarks to TeenPact, December 9, 2005)." However, Ralph's public activities show he continues to do everything possible to avoid answering any real questions about the clients he has worked for and the services he has performed as a multi-million dollar lobbyist.................

And I really doubt that you can truly dehumanize sex. ~ VV, ready for anything
*ahem*
Joo mean "de-personalize" eet?
Well, gato, santorum and cornyn have been able to dehumanize it. I think they prefer it that way.
Well, that's what's interesting about Big Love to me. Barb wasn't socialized to polygamy and Nicki was (Marji wasn't, but her background is different, I've read), but I don't see that Nicki's better at it, or less jealous. Barb really sems very calm and accepting, though sad for what's been lost. Nicki plays the politics, including the fake attempt to get pregnant.
I agree and one of the show's subtexts I think is how this kind of situation plays out exactly like one imagines it would, with a constantly shifting two against one energy and lots of jealousy.
Could you explain something to me? Is Nicki taking birthcontrol? It sure looks like it. She pulled out that packet that looked exactly like birth control and took one. What the fuck is up with that?
This aging shit is a mixed blessing, indeed.

yeah it sucks, but there are more than a few saving graces along the way.
If there weren't, who'd do it?

I think that works. VV
You're such a speciesist.

Yeah, she's requesting more nights with Bill (meaning more power and an edge over the other wives) because she claims she is trying to get preggo. But she's on the pill, so she can keep doing it as long as possible.
The Lou Dobbs crowd is 100% for sending troops o the Mexican border. Tired troops with frayed nerves on the border. Sounds like a plan.
Those idiots have any idea how long that border is, and what it looks like? River bed. Mountains. High desert.
Troops? From Brownsville to San Diego? Don't make me laugh.

She's pretending to be trying to get pregnant, but obviously she's not. It was definitely birth control, and definitly hidden. But as long as they think she's trying, she gets all kind of leeway.
But then last week she told him she spent the night in a shelter, and then she pulled out a receipt from a hotel. Which means she not only lied, but must still have held a credit card back.
A joke, bonita.
perrrhaps made too soon, yo disculpeme.
so.
Someone usually wants to stop before the other person does, however, and that's never good.
NYMary
I think it's generally not a great idea. A lot of the difficulties might be dependent on the power differential in the relationship. I'm just saying, anecdotally (and unlike that HUD guy I know what the word means) that if people are securely attached and not inclined toward jealousy, that it can work.
Again, I'm not advocating it.
BTW, I think Ang Lee's The Ice Storm (though not generally well-received) does a nice job on the infidelity issue with its 70s era key party scene.

Oh, THATS what that was about?
I thought it was that she and Bill had stayed in a hotel together, like when he and Barb had their affair.
That makes so much more sense.
What a bitch!
What is Ralph Reed hiding?
Laugh of the day!
"Big Love" sounds like the opening to "Anna Karenina." Don't remember where, now, but I heard an interview with a wife in a polygamous marriage. She was very happy, as were the other wives. She said new wives got along with the old ones, or they didn't last long.
Somehow I don't think you could play many games in such an arrangement and have peace. Either everyone would leave, or someone once in a while would realize they weren't welcome.
I'M SHOCKED! Shocked.
Just saying.
What a bitch!
Oh, yeah. She's her father's daughter.
We're programed from the beginning it seems to me to be monogamous by western culture.

In between Verizon's pre-existing crapulence and the latest data mining abomination, Jen and I have been shopping around for an alternative.
We just signed up for Vonage VoIP and will be punting Verizon. If anyone else is considering going to VoIP, we will be happy to report on how the service is. So far, setting it up was a breeze. Not many phone calls yet, though, since the new phones need to be charged first....

I say Kos last night at his appearance here. He was really good. I watched him with people and spoke to him briefly, and I thought he was quite genuine and generous with people. Haven't read the book yet.
Cancel your Verizon, ATT&T, and BellSouth.

Then write to your representatives, Repub or Dem, and tell them to suck it. They'll know why.
This is an emergency. Am I wrong?

It's all in the timing. Like, for example, taking a minute to have that realization beforehand and then not going through with it can make for far less pain. Of course there are some experiences we really need to go through to figure out that we don't want to keep going through them, but I suspect there are far far fewer of those than we like to tell ourselves.

Heh. Big Love thread.
I don't watch the show, but I saw Anderson cooper do a whole special about mormons and polygamy and this nut on the FBI 10 Most Wanted List.
I was trying to explain to my friend who just arrived from India what Mormonism is and who this loon is and the "10 Most Wanted List," and got on to talking about Waco and Koresh and what happened there.
Then Anderson Cooper asks a cop what would happen if federal agents try to arrest this psycho at his compound in Texas, right now.
He gave a one word answer:
"Waco."
Totally creepy.
I think some people are just less able to make decisions like that- they have to just let things happen to them and deal with the consequences.
There's a qualitative difference between going with the flow mindfully and with awareness versus allowing oneself to be swept along by the current by default. We're free to do anything along that spectrum, but I tend to think we do what we do until we decide to do something else. That is, it's all choice.
You beat time on my head
With a palm caked hard by dirt,
Then waltzed me off to bed
Still clinging to your shirt.

it has become the comedy news hour
because,they cant be for real
eh comedy is tradgedy and visa-versa
too bad we are living it
or we could laugh more,no?
Sundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.
I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, he'd call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,
Speaking indifferently to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did I know, what did I know
of love's austere and lonely offices?

I wrote something like,
"Yeah Lou! That's great! The Kent State solution! Send the troops in and kill a few people. It ended the war in Vietnam, and maybe now it will end the fear of the scary brown people and their spicy food. Because as even the simpleton Ronald Reagan might have learned, you can't 'kill 'em all.'"

Remember the Will Smith/Gene Hackman film Enemy of the State?
I remember thinking it was overly alarmist.

getting a haircut on Air Force One- utterly despicable.

I hope his threat holds and his evidence is good, because I want to see this Administration get the true justice it deserves for the harm it has inflicated upon this nation and the world. Before I start to celebrate, however, the cynic in me wonders why would someone leak that he has bombshell information before he actually gives testimony of same. I should think if he witheld his information this long, why not wait one more week? Why give the enemy an inkling of your intentions?
Hopefully my cynicism will be misplaced this time and the information bears fruit, so that they all get sent to Abu G. on the Potomac.

Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge
The dice of drowned men's bones he saw bequeath
An embassy. Their numbers as he watched,

A scattered chapter, livid hieroglyph,
The portent wound in corridors of shells.

A Time for Heresy
Bill Moyers
March 22, 2006
.......fundamentalists; they believe in the absolute inerrancy of the Bible and the divine right of preachers to tell you what it means. They also believe in the separation of church and state only if they cannot control both. The only way to cooperate with fundamentalists, it has been said, is to obey them. ....................It was in the name of Jesus that the young priest John Ryan – ten years before the New Deal – crusaded for child labor laws, unemployment insurance, a minimum wage, and decent housing for the poor. And it was in the name of Jesus that Martin Luther King Jr. went to Memphis to march with sanitation workers who were asking only for a living wage.
This is the heresy of our time – to wrestle with the gods who guard the boundaries of this great nation’s promise, and to confront the medicine men in the woods, twirling their bullroarers to keep us in fear and trembling. For the greatest heretic of all is Jesus of Nazareth, who drove the money changers from the temple in Jerusalem as we must now drive the money changers from the temples of democracy.
