Jeff Goldstein's Protein Wisdom was our Blog of the Week just two weeks ago. Now, he has come under one of the more bizarre liberal attacks yet. Michelle Malkin has the details. A liberal college professor who is obviously deeply disturbed has been threatening Jeff and his two-year-old son, and a denial of service attack, presumably by liberals or Islamic fascists, has shut his site down.
The web is often a nasty place. Our best wishes to Jeff. Don't let the bastards get you down.

I've never smoked tobacco products, except for a ceremonial cigar during one or two celebrations, but I used to take secondary-smoke breaks with friends of mine on occasion.
I'm sure WGG will have some suitable combustible on hand...
PS: I more or less "need" to go into my office today to catch up on stuff I let slide during this past short week. But I find myself feeling too blah and marginally exhausted, even though I got a decent amount of sleep last night.
I'm telling myself that I'm probably feeling the after-effects of a long day of "doing nothing" in the form of waiting for the phone technician yesterday. So I think I'm gonna just say "fuck it" and resume testing my crude but effective pasta-sauce jar waterpipe. I leave it to you good Atriots-- am I simply Making Excuses, or can a long day of doing nothing truly wear one out?

From Malkin's blog:
***scroll for updates: the moonbat 'fesses up, loses her job?***
Jeff Goldstein, who has been such an inspiration and good friend ever since I started blogging, is under attack. He--and his toddler son--have been the subject of abuse and harassment from a nutball leftist troll, who appears to hold a prominent teaching position at the University of Arizona and seems to have a history of abusing and stalking blogs (also here). Some of the messages she left for Jeff:
I really resent the Olivia Newton-John video. I had fifth row seats on my 21st birthday at the Cleveland Coliseum and she sang "Hopelessly Devoted" to me...

I never cared one way or the other for her, until I saw her on the Tonys, sing one of those Bernadette specials, y'know gay '90s type song, twirling a parasol. WOW.

Regardless of whatever ID you've done with mushrooms, taking a spore print is still a good idea. It's a much better way of identifying one than relying on a single morphological key.

The sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean took £2.3m at the UK box office on its first day of release, Disney's biggest ever first day opening.
Advance ticket sales for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, starring Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, topped the £1m mark.
The follow-up to the 2003 original is also expected to fare well in the US.
Some film analysts are predicting the film will make over $100m (£54m) in its first three days.

Proposals to bring the introduction of women bishops closer to reality have been backed by more than two-thirds of the Church of England's ruling body.
The General Synod approved the concept of women bishops as "theologically justified" by 288 votes to 119.
Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams will address the Synod on Monday to support setting up a legislative group to tackle the issue.
A significant number of traditionalists in the Church are against the moves.

And wasn't that just the cutest thing. And see, in the wonderful world of the internets, I can even now pull up a replica of that statement....
It's an awful thing to say Tobes. You said it. It's pretty much contrary to good citizenship not to report it you know. That's not a false statement at all, bubba - that's a statement of fact.
Perhaps you'd like to just go away now and think about what you've said, when you've said it, how liable I am to contact the authorities to investigate - because I should tell you bubba, that when it comes to good citizenship, I'm really a believer.

Opponents of women bishops stepped up demands for their own "Church-within-a-Church" yesterday as the Church of England's General Synod met in York to try to break the deadlock over the divisive issue.
A group of more than 100 traditionalist clergy who were all ordained after the Synod voted to admit women to the priesthood 13 years ago said they had been promised at the time a "permanent and equal" place in the Church.
In a statement, the clergy said that if the Synod now failed to provide them with "all that is necessary" for them to remain in the Church when women became bishops, it would represent a "betrayal of trust".

British scientists reacted angrily last night to the views of a senior Vatican official, who said Catholic researchers working on embryonic stem cells should be excommunicated.
Their criticism came as Catholics from around the world gathered at a conference on family issues, the fifth World Meeting of Families in Valencia, Spain, which the Pope is due to attend tomorrow.
Cardinal Alfonso López Trujillo, who heads the group that puts forward family-related policy for the church, said in an interview last month for the Catholic weekly Famiglia Cristiana that stem cell researchers should receive the same sanction as women who have abortions and doctors who perform them.

Yes - It's not productive at all. In the best case senario it's all very Jr. High school, and in the worst case senario you get something that sounds like someone is having a mental episode.
And that type of behavior seems, really, fairly unballanced.

Police commanders deployed low-key security and offered confident predictions on Saturday on the eve of a major Protestant parade that is being prevented, for the ninth year in a row, from passing through the main Catholic neighbourhood of Portadown.
The annual confrontation involving the Protestants of the Orange Order brotherhood and the Catholics of Portadown's Garvaghy Road district triggered widespread violence from 1996 to 1998, the first year that a British-appointed Parades Commission enforced a ban on the Protestants from parading past the Catholic homes.
Since then, Orange Order leaders in Portadown, a principal power base for the anti-Catholic fraternal group, have maintained their stubborn refusal to negotiate directly with the Catholic protesters.

Yes - It's not productive at all. In the best case senario it's all very Jr. High school, and in the worst case senario you get something that sounds like someone is having a mental episode.
It's also a distraction. I mean, there are very few people I have less respect for than Jeff Goldstein, but how consequential is he in the scheme of things? Granting that the Right blogosphere is little more than a semi-coherent amplifier for the administration and a means of mainstreaming racism etc, it still seems more productive to focus on the source of the messages it spouts.
I dunno. Then, too, there's something about the minor celebrity some bloggers have that makes them a bit more nutty and less amenable to reason, I think....there's that kind of pathetic empire-building people get into.

Yeah, but this Deb Frisch person seems to be pretty fucking deranged herself.
She is. And what you see all over the Right is the deliberate conflation of one, lone rfgaing freak with all Progressives everywhere, and the repetition that "Lefties" are intolerant.
Then you scoll down on these same sites and find praise for Ann Coulter's incisive analysis. Coulter, who called for the mirder of Supreme Court justices, and regretted not killing Bill Clinton.
Coulter, who actually does have a following. Actually does get her books sold by the job-lot. Who actually is a keynote speaker at major GOP events.
Rahm Emmanuel actually called for Republicans to denounce Coulter's hateful ravings on the floor of the House and was greeted by the Right with...crickets. Tumbleweed. Silence.
Swap out Malkin for Coulter, or Falwell for Malkin, or Robertson for Falwell and the formula remains the same.
Major powerbrokers on the Right -- people who command millions of voters and have their own networks -- routinely say the most horrific things and the wingnuts cheer like the brain-dead finger-puppets that they are.
Let one loon in the comments section of a blog go batshit...and suddenly it's an indictment of everyone Left of Joe Lieberman.
This is the Party of the Southern Strategy. Of Lee Atwater. Mary Matlin. Karl Rove. Hate is their stock-in-trade. Hate is the Horse they rode in on, which is why they'll never denounce the sociopaths who actually run their Party. They despise this country, and without their bigots and gay bashers, Fundy freaks and serial liars the GOP would never, ever, ever win another election. And they know it.

She is a modest 38-year-old single mother from South Africa who spends the fruit-growing season packing apples, pears and peaches into boxes to export to the UK. But yesterday in London, Gertruida Baartman became a spokesperson for underpaid workers throughout the developing world.
Ms Baartman took on the might of the UK retailing world when she highlighted the plight of farm workers at Tesco's annual shareholders' meeting in London.
In front of more than 500 onlookers the fruit packer, who is paid 46 rand (£3.49) per day, made an impassioned plea to one of the best-paid executives in the City, Tesco's chief executive Sir Terry Leahy. Her wages just scrape the legal minimum set by the South African government earlier this year, but are less than a man would earn for the same work.

Forty years on, much of the environmental damage caused to Vietnam by American forces during the Vietnam War has still not been repaired, according to a new study.
In particular, the effects of the massive amounts of chemical defoliants sprayed from the air to destroy the jungle hiding places of the Vietcong guerrillas are still being felt, says the study, the first comprehensive account of Vietnam's natural history written in English.
Between 1961 and 1971, more than 20 million gallons of herbicides, the most notorious being "Agent Orange", were sprayed by the US to defoliate forests, clear growth along the borders of military sites and eliminate enemy crops.

Testimony by an Algerian national caught up in the CIA's extraordinary rendition programme, held for 16 months in secret prisons and later released without charge, has revealed how he was chained by the wrists and ankles and left hanging from the roof of a torture chamber for hours on end.
Laid Saidi said he was rendered by US officials from Tanzania to Afghanistan in May 2003 and kept in a prison outside Kabul for more than a year before being returned to Algeria via Tunisia.
In an interview with The New York Times, Mr Saidi, 43, told how he was kept in a cell "not even suitable for animals" and regularly tortured by guards, some of whom spoke English, which he understands slightly. "They beat me and threw cold water on me, spat at me and sometimes gave me dirty water to drink," he said.

Funny how OK Tacitus was with it, too. He said Goldstein's statement was "a discredit to wholesale accuracy." Which, in addition to being illiterate, makes it sound as though Goldstein's words spoke themselves without sullying Goldstein himself.

I personally recall your apparent glee at the description of burning puppies.

British troops in Afghanistan should be withdrawn to barracks until a clear political strategy has been agreed, a Labour former armed forces minister has argued.
Doug Henderson warned that soldiers lives must not be put at risk in the absence of "direct and immediate purpose".
And he suggested that an effective military strategy would only be achieved on the back of an effective political one.
Defence Secretary Des Browne told MPs on Thursday that he is urgently considering requests for extra troops in Afghanistan.
His announcement followed the death of the sixth British serviceman to be killed in the troubled Helmand province in the past month.

The story is she had a temp job at UOA, which she resigned 'cause she said a bunch of despicable and dumb stuff at Jeff Goldstein's place. She seems to be a ninny with self-control issues.
Possibly more to the story than meets the eye, or possibly not. I assume all will be revealed eventually.

Granting that the Right blogosphere is little more than a semi-coherent amplifier for the administration and a means of mainstreaming racism etc, it still seems more productive to focus on the source of the messages it spouts.
==
I get your point now and I very much agree. It's important to make the distinction between people who are in positions of influence and working against the public good, and those loudmouths who make themselves appear more influential than they really are. Picking our battles, in other words. And it's important to ignore the second group, imho. For exactly the reason I wish people here would not engage trolls - it grants them legitimacy. It may not be the only thing that does, but it's one we can control.

In case you missed this before Toby:
Let me remind Toby the pathetic virgin that I, a 55 year old man, will be spending much of the weekend with a stunning 30 something Japanese American woman. She pretty much jumped me after a local liberal get-together. A brilliant, gorgeous babe is Kimiko-san. Doing her post-doc research here in Boston.
Toby, you will NEVER EVER get anywhere NEAR such an amazing woman As Kimiko-san. You can't begin to imagine what it's like.
And its all because I'm a liberal. Toby. 55, potbelly, arthritic, diabetic and high blood pressure. And unlike Rush, I'm not the least bit ashamed of the fact that I've got prescription for Cialis. Diabetes and hypertension will do that to a man. Of course, you wouldn't know a thing about being a "man", would you, Toby.
And yet, Kimiko-san doesn't care a bit about any of that. She likes me for who and what I am.
Unlike you, Toby. Women FLEE from your presence, because of what and who you are. Yep, Toby, you will never get laid in your life. Oh, you'll likely have sex, but only the kind you pay for.
There IS a difference, you know. Oh, wait. That's right, you wouldn't know the difference. No woman would willingly touch you for free or of her own free will.
What is that pick up line you use that works all the time? Oh, right, I remember: "Does this rag smell like Chloroform to you?" Poor Toby, how sad you are. To go through life knowing that liberals like me are having the most incredable sex lives. And you aren't.

Tobot cannot admit that his false accusations have been exposed. He admitted that he sees nothing wrong with setting a dog on fire, yet somehow the idea that others would find that repulsive (whether or not he ever acted on it) confounds him. So he just decided that everyone keeps accusing him of having acted on it, even though they haven't, and gets offended. I really do wish he would seek professional help.
You have yet to produce a quote in which anyone asserts you have actually set a dog on fire. You must have a whole file of them. Where are they?

She's going to report me to the authorities for animal cruelty when she doesn't even know if her accusation is true?
She said: You know, there is such a thing as a watching brief, dontcha? The Humane Society of Austin does keep tabs on people like you. ...
Watching briefs are for people who may have expressed a willingness to hurt animals without there being evidence of their having done so. Sounds like your situation exactly.
And she said: Why, there have to be fifty people or more who remember you saying how you'd set fire to a dog.
Now, I suppose you could interpret "you'd" as "you had," but it's pretty clear from context (e.g., the idea of a watching brief) it is really "you would." Trust me, no one wants for you to really have set fire to a dog or acted sadistically to any other animal. But since you think it's okay to do so, you can't blame people for wondering. I wish you'd seek help - you might eventually accept that most people don't have such fantasies and that they're not healthy.

Quick, somebody hide this pointy stick of mine! I've been strongly cautioned and must now co-operate in the strange and mysterious world in which Tobes figures as stalwart and brave!
See, Tobes, you're a nasty little thing. You came onto this blog not long ago and asserted with great glee that you had - or possibly only wanted to or intended to - harm an innocent life form by setting it on fire. It doesn't much matter in the long run here which one it was - what matters is that you would say it and then, as you did, attempt to justify saying it, and now, flee from having both said it and tried to justify it.
In the world you are advocating, there is no doubt at all in my mind that a designated watcher would have reported you that very evening to the authorities - which are indeed the Austin Humane Society. That's because what you said and what you advocated are truly threats and threats against animals are something to be taken very seriously. I take them much more seriously for example, than I would ever take one of your little threats against me, because unlike me, animals have little protection. You should be very grateful Tobes that this world is not the one you so long to achieve - the militaristic, controlled, vicious world you desire. This time that fact has gotten you out of the consequences of your casual and thoughtless ramblings.
But you know something? It's hard to count on that. It's difficult to be absolutely sure that things as they are today are the way they will be tomorrow.
Why don't you go away now and count your blessings? The grownups are tired of poking at you.

Folks with brains probably already know this, but in every jurisdiction I've ever heard of, a complaint to the civil authorities, even if knowingly false, can't be the basis for a civil defamation suit. (Not to mention that spoken defamation is slander, not libel.) Reports to the authorities are, to use the legal term, "absolutely privileged." The authorities might prosecute someone who makes a false report, but the victim of the false report can't do anything about it.
It would depend on local law whether a humane society would be the kind of civil authority that citizens could complain to with absolute privilege.

It's odd how the godawful Carrie Fisher singing constrasts with the timeless awesomeness of John Williams' score.

I actually saw this at the Library of Congress! None of us could hear Fisher's song, we were laughing too hard.
