Denny's Dem opponent speaks to Tweety:
MATTHEWS: Do you believe that Denny Hastert is a man of character?
LAESCH: I think that this issue has defined the clearest difference between myself and Mr. Hastert, that being I stand for honesty and integrity . . .
MATTHEWS: And he doesn‘t?
LAESCH: . . . and I‘ll let the voters decide where he stands.
MATTHEWS: But you‘re not challenging his character here or word? Is that right? You don‘t challenge his word here? You think he might be telling the truth?
LAESCH: I will challenge his word. I‘ll get out there and say so. On page 186 of Dennis Hastert‘s book, he says that he listens to everything, and, you know, he knows everything that is going on. Use his words. Apparently he forgot, but on page 186 of his book, he says he listens to everything and he remembers everything.
Mostly I came over here to wonder aloud if, seeing as how it's 4 pm central on Friday, Denny Hastert's resignation has hit the Friday news dump yet.
Any word?
On page 186 of Dennis Hastert‘s book, he says that he listens to everything....
"...so, ya know, it must be true...."
Denny Hastert's resignation has hit the Friday news dump yet.
Any word?

I think he's on the throne right now...give it an hour
Ralston will be a great witness once she starts bargaining to strike a plea agreement.
it would be a shame if mr hastert was forced to resign and have to relocate his vast collection of restaurant menus
Bush: Fighting for his right to hire incompetent boobs, even post-Katrina:
President Bush this week asserted that he has the executive authority to disobey a new law in which Congress has set minimum qualifications for future heads of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Ahhh, I was right the first time.
If Kitty Genovese were killed today, I have no doubt Drudge & co would be suggesting it was her own fault.
DRUDGE: This Genovese woman was a lesbian. She worked in a bar. You have to ask, did she have this coming? Who was she associating with? You're not going to tell me she was an innocent baby. These liberal latte lesbians are egging the men on. Winston Moseley was the victim here. We haven't got the whole story on this.
MALKIN: Why don't people ask more specific questions about the stab wounds in her back? They are legitimate questions about whether or not it was a self-inflicted wound.
the head of fema needs a towel and hand lotion thats it.

Well, I heard it this way:
Soros secretly, thru Democratic operatives, led by Clinton Advisor, Dick Morris, funded Jack Abramoff's activities. Ralston is a (D)(thanks to faux news) and someone played a prank on her, and got her to accept all those gifts from Jack, but they really came from Soros, who kept all his receipts, and gave them to CREW, who then redacted them heavily and sent them to the FBI.

The Denny Hastert special.
Uno Chicago Grill launches bacon cheeseburger deep-dish pizza
BOSTON — Uno Chicago Grill has combined two American favorites in its new Bacon Cheeseburger Deep Dish Pizza.
According to a news release, the new pizza fills Uno's famous crust with hamburger, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses combined with traditional burger toppings — ketchup, mustard and dill pickle. Add to that bacon, caramelized onion and plum tomatoes, and this pizza tastes like it just came off the backyard barbecue.
"When we ask our regulars what they love most about Uno, they always say our deep-dish pizza, of course, but also our terrific burgers," said Chris Gatto, executive chef at the 200-unit chain. "So we thought, ‘Let's bring these two favorites together in one delicious dish.’ No surprise — it's been a hit. People can't believe how much it tastes just like a cheeseburger."
Can any one suggest a dose of shrill? How about "Prophets of Doom" by Pro-Pain. The first song is "NEO-CON."

Clinton gave an amazing speech this morning for Sestak.
Can I tell you why I think that Clinton will be a force, and will be campaigning everywhere and helping the dems this cycle?
He had said years ago that his biggest regret was losing congress in 94. To his way of thinking, he wants to make up for it right now in 06, and so he will personally get involved to make that happen.
I'll bet that's what he's thinking.
Why are the Freepers screaming that the IMs sent to Foley were a 'prank'? What difference does it make anyway? If they were, isn't it how one catches a predator? (a la Dateline's baiting pedophiles).
From NYT article"
"In one case, Ralston wrote to Abramoff saying Rove "has to pay" for the tickets he received to an NCAA basketball playoff game.
In another instance, Ralston wrote an e-mail saying she was "willing to pay" for Capitals tickets, but Abramoff replied: "No problem, and you don't have to pay."
And after an Aug. 23, 2003, Orioles game that Ralston attended, she e-mailed Abramoff: "Thanks for the tix to the game last night. Our guests had a terrific time. (W)e had fun and appreciate your generosity."
Baltimore beat Mike Mussina and the Yankess 7-2. But the box score failed to note that Ralston got indicted.

Yes. Everyone knows that the proper preparation of bacon requires frying it in old bacon grease.
I was just driving home, listening to Ann Coulter, Pat Cadell, and ring leader Hannity blaming Foleygate squarely on the demon Democrats.
Republican turns over emails and IM's that show improper behavior between a Republican and pages. Republican leadership attempted to keep the Democrats from knowing about this and did nothing to prevent this from happening. Republican leadership points fingers at each other. And it is the Democrat's fault? Domocrats have nothing to do with this other than the fact that they stand to gain ground in the election with this issue.
Everytime I hear this 'egging Foley on/prank' bovine excrement I wait and I wait and I wait for the interviewer to ask, "How is it possible that some kids are capable of putting one over on a savvy, long time politician???"

Interesting, Hannity is starting to open up calls every now and then to liberals. Must be because he was busted by some polling organization for not having liberal callers 99.9% of the time.
What bothers me is the ignorance of his callers. Truly. These people parrot his memes.
Oops they must have the mayor of looneyville wired up--he spoke truthfuly and right at the end said the only thing that could save the REpublicans is if the Democrats had it and held on to it for the election
and even if it isn't true we are going to keep spreading that lie
Why are the Freepers screaming
The Freepers are screaming about it being a prank because that was a story on Drudge. It was put out, I strongly suspect, mostly for them.
No, it makes no sense. Even if Foley was egged on to write the messages he still did it. But that shows you the intellectual level of the freepers. All they want is the story - whatever it is. They'll believe it. The Republicans know this, and provide.
They were probably also hoping for a slight misinformation value, but the story is probably too high profile for that.

It's amazing what foolish absurdities you end up spouting when you decide to defend the indefensible and are incapable of conceding any point.
Hastert was reiterating their insane conspiracy crap, and was told to shut the fuck up by his own party...
Comments that Hastert made in a Tribune interview suggesting the scandal had been orchestrated by ABC News, Democratic political operatives aligned with the Clinton White House and liberal activist George Soros were considered a serious misstep in national Republican circles, an official said. Senior Republican officials contacted Hastert's office before his news conference Thursday to urge that he not repeat the charges, and he backed away from them in his news conference.
"The Chicago Tribune interview last night--the George Soros defense--was viewed as incredibly inept," a national Republican official said. "It could have been written by [comedian] Jon Stewart."

Oops, that would be "Superchunk," obviously, I don't know who "Superchuck" is!
What these idiots don't understand is that they're not playing with their usual issues where voters might think, "oh, well, maybe they know more," or call on that "we have to trust our leaders" habit, or just get them confused in the he said/she said.
This has to do with kids. Every American, especially every American parent, considers him/herself an expert on kids. This bullshit just doesn't fly. It's "they were trusted with vulnerable kids, they failed them." That simple.
Once that veil of illusion is gone, the other bullshit is obvious. This has the potential to bring not only the Rethugs themselves, but Rush, Drudge and every other pundit defending them.
And the nice little icing on the cake is that for 30 years the Rethugs and some Dems have been beating the "we've got to protect our kids!" drum, be it tighten movie ratings and enforcment, put warning labels and buying restrictions on music and computer games, and increase penalties on retailers who don't check IDs.

That's the number of Americans who think Denny Hastert should remain as Speaker, according to SurveyUSA.
63% think he resign.
43% think he should leave the House altogether.
Late Update: Number of Democratic strategists who think Denny Hastert should remain Speaker through November 7th. 100%. That's my poll, not SurveyUSA. My methodology was to think about it for about 3 seconds. But I believe the margin of error is extremely low.

They don't want to waste time on the 'wackos' that dissagree with them.
Or nutters as H. Hewitt calls them.

While in Dublin check out Bono and the Edge's Hotel in the Temple Bar area of the city.
I recall watching from afar as my old roommate tried to drunkenly pick up girls at a McDonalds around the way.
I love local culture...
I think there are plenty of them who would like a gay pogrom
Oh, for real, I completely agree. Which is why it is so damned sad. Big tent, little ass.
You can't get trashed on bacon, even when it is smoked.

The nitrates in bacon can KO a lot of people - just as with sulfates in wine.

Chuck Shotton, of course -- author of MacHTTP, the first webserver for the Mac (later, WebSTAR). I set up Morehead State University's first intranet (before the term had been coined) on a Centris 610 that was going in the trash, using MacHTTP.

My dad was a believer in chiropractic - it did seem to help him.
Just ask around for a good one.
And let it be known that I'm a hugely skeptical mofo and I'm not suggesting that chiropractors can cure arthritis and bone disease.
But if you've tweaked your back out of alignment, they can help you tweak it back.
Hoist by your own petard, anyone?

Afternoon everyone. I said the other day that this cuts to the heart of their phony morality and I hope they bleed to death. I just checked and I still do.

I was under the impression that a lot of these call-in shows screen their callers before choosing which ones get to talk on the air. It's not surprising that the parrots end up dominating the air time under those circumstances.

A Selection of German Sausagehats
my dad jokes that it must be hard to be a vegetarian in Germany or even the Swiss German part of Switzerland with the emphasis on meat.
when my parents went to Berlin last year they noticed the Germans ate alot, they it had something to do with the cold, grey, low cloud weather.
Ah yes. Time to go home.
Don't forget to measure.

Sis, did you receive the e-mail I sent a day or two ago?
Vienna also boasts the best pot roast in the world (tafelschpitz) and is in the running for the best coffee.
Happy birthday, Lumpenprolitariot! May you view with joy in the coming year the entire Rethuglican party reduced to living under freeway underpasses.

All right, Chicago types:
Giodano's v. Bacino's.
Discuss.
Hannity's show has at least a couple of screeners. They screen everything. I've never been able to get on.
Thom Hartmann, on the other hand, he takes my call whenever I dial his number.
Josh needs to think about it a second more. Fat Denny needs to resign about a week before the election so that he can't use the power of the speaker position in his own reelection campaign.
Vienna also home of the famous Hotel Sacher and the Sachertort whih has a super secrete recipie.

amazing image.
people eating meat under low grey clouds.
i can see the clouds just above their heads as they bend over the meat.
flory,
How do you like the food there?
Don't forget to go on the Guinness tour. Free beer and it tastes so much better fresh in Ierland than it does in the states.

I've wondered about that. They often seem to too skillfully repeat the current talking points.

my dad jokes that it must be hard to be a vegetarian in Germany or even the Swiss German part of Switzerland with the emphasis on meat.
My wife was vegetarian in Berlin years back, and their idea of "vegetarian" was a salad with just some ham on it.
It's somewhat better nowadays.

Best pastries I've ever eaten, in a place I could never find again (stumbled into it to get out of the rain).
I understand the restaurants used to have a separate room for brewing the coffee, just to keep it from being polluted.

What bothers me is the ignorance of his callers. Truly. These people parrot his memes.

Ah, my hometown. Fattest city in America...
And now I'm off to the party. See some of you there...
I'll bet Ella does great Cole Porter.
I'm no music expert, but this has got to be one of the best albums ever recorded. Desert island stuff.

The Germans may eat a lot, but the Austrians eat well. Worlds of difference between those two cuisines. Austrian food is more like an amalgam of French, northern Italian, and eastern European cuisine.
Don't forget to go on the Guinness tour. Free beer and it tastes so much better fresh in Ierland than it does in the states.
*Tip*
Try following a schedule-bound German tour group, who happily give up their free drink tokens to bored young Americans.

meat clouds.
hey anybody ever see that artist's 'meat dress' in ottawa?
Hey Vicki!!
Flory - I hope you're having a blast, it sounds like it. Just make sure the little nippers' present doesn't look Suspicious.
My gut reaction to BoBo Brooks is to smash his skull open.
But then I recall that this would be bad, as dogs would feast on the goo inside and become retarded.
i've visted Salzburg when my famliy holidayed in Austria.
we stayed in a lovely local lakeside town called Zell am Zee.

natural home of the dreaded meat-clouds?
How do you like the food there?

this has been the most pleasant surprise. i had heard the typical horror stories of british isles food. NOT TRUE. we've had a preponderance of good food, a couple of losers and several really, really superb meals. ireland over the last 15 years has become very cosmpopolitan....also expensive.
Bacino's.
I'm a sauce guy and I really like Bacino's sauce.
As for non stuffed Deep dish I gotta go Lou Malnatti's over Gino's.
Best pastries I've ever eaten, in a place I could never find again (stumbled into it to get out of the rain).
Yeah, I forgot to mention the pastries. Mmmmm. It's too bad you couldn't find that place again , but in a way it shouldn't have mattered. In my experience it has been downright hard to find bad food in Vienna.
:blushes:
I like doing that to you.

I seem to remember there was a guy who posted some diaries on dkos about his exploits getting on the air to talk on Limbaugh's show. He would pose as a wingnut during the screening and then let Rush have it on the air.
maf54: hey u home yet?
meat-cloud: still driftin

meat-cloud: over the whole city yeh
maf54: thats hot

Is that an upscale Portillo's and better than the one in Forest Park or Summit?

I've been there. My mother is from a town called Ebensee, which is maybe a bit over 1hr. from there by car. All those lakeside towns in the Salzkammergut region are just gorgeous. The food isn't quite what it is in Vienna, but the scenery more than makes up for it.
Hey, come upstairs, the water's fine...discussing a whale of a story.

That's the letter U, and the numeral 2. The four-man band features Adam Clayton on bass, Larry Mullen on drums, Dave Evans, nicknamed "The Edge", on --this is bullshit! Nobody cares!
These guys are from England, and who gives a shit?"
Vicki, sorrry, got your message and meant to reply already, but I was busy at that point and it slipped my mind. I'll do that before I leave the office shortly. (Just hanging around waiting for traffic to wind down.)

Yes. Even the frozen ones are remarkably good. They make nice gifts -- better than Harry&David baskets.
It's not new or really upscale its just across from the Rock and Roll McDonadls and the Hard Rock. Nothing special but the food is great. I've been to the Forrest Park location same good food.

Just Google "Kasem fuck snuggles".
Bacino's.
And the chain Uno's that's selling the heretical pizza isn't the real Uno's. And the chain Geno's isn't the real Geno's. Neener.
I don't much care for Leona's sauce -- too sweet.
And we also like Buona Beef for Italian beef sammiches, since we don't live close enough to Montrose & Pulaski's to buzz through Susie's drive thru for a good Italian.
