I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
oh my
No he can't
Stick a big fucking fork in Joe--He's well overdone.
The protesters, made up of members of the United Steelworkers union and the anti-war group Uprise Counter Recruitment, chanted, "Jeb go home," and said Bush blew them a kiss.
Bush family. Nuthin' but class.
Let's go Mets!
GO TIGERS!
Fuck Lieberman.
I think the unfortunate fact is taht we're stuck with Lieberman for the next 7 years.
hey fourlegs,
Texas is lookin' good.
And just this morning I heard Mara LIEason on NPR (taking a break from Brit's crotch) to run a puff piece on Joe.
I'm happy to root for the Tigers... their play by play announcer is the brother of a good friend of mine. They were sufferin' just a few years ago when the Tigers were one of the worst teams ever.
There's gotta be a lesson here somewhere for Peter The Asshole Angelos and his unfortunate hostages, The Orioles.
23-0 Michigan.

Vicki, Who ? Al Gore
Way way way way too early for such pessimistic pronouncements. For one thing, I think it might be statistically impossible for a major party candidate to get 6 percent of whatever Schlesinger's polling, and there's a debate to go and Iraq is getting worse and worse...
Lying Curly, btw.

Oct. 7, 2006 — House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert's chief of staff met with disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley to discuss the time and attention Foley was giving House pages years before the speaker's office admits becoming aware of the issue, a current House staffer told ABC News.
The staffer, who asked not be identified because of the ongoing FBI and House Ethics Committee investigations, told ABC News of learning in November 2005 about an earlier meeting between Hastert Chief of Staff Scott Palmer and Foley, R-Fla.
November 2005 was around the time Rep. John Shimkus, R-Ill., head of the House Page Board, and then-House Clerk Jeff Trandahl, who was administrator of the page program, met with Foley about an e-mail exchange Foley had with a former page sponsored by Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-La.
The question is how many r's will really pull the lever for holy Joe.
My guess is not nearly as many as answer a survey saying they will.
Sorry, Atrios, but Joe can help it. He's saying these things fully knowing what he's saying and why he's saying them.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Sunday TV news shows:
ABC's "This Week" - Reps. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., and Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill.; former Secretary of State James Baker; actress Patricia Heaton, spokeswoman for Cure Autism

NBC's "Meet the Press" - Sen. Jim Talent, R-Mo., and his Democratic opponent, state auditor Claire McCaskill; journalist Bob Woodward.
CNN's "Late Edition" - Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari; Sens. Joseph Biden, D-Del., and John Cornyn, R-Texas; former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan.

Yup, four dems and that's including Biden.

Patricia Heaton...why?
...years before the speaker's office admits becoming aware of the issue, a current House staffer told ABC News.
I just finished reading that and came here. (It may have been posted for the 19th time in comments but I've been out.)
Apparently Pelosi once breathed the same air as a NAMBLA member; she should really step down.
Paul, good point. The r's won't pull for Joe.
Patricia Heaton...why?
So she can whine in her unsufferably whiny voice about how Nancy Pelosi put our children at risk.
QuentinCompson, thanks for the teevee listing.
Somebody really oughta break it to Blitzer that the Democratic party includes other people besides Joe Biden.
Patricia Heaton is a conservative.
Goodnight Oklahoma 
Cute! Two people who protested at the Santorum rally - the one where Jeb cut and run - got stun guns used on them by police.
Welcome to AmeriKKKa.
This is a seperate staffer than the one Washington Post had yesterday.
So now Fordham, and two anon staffers are all saying that Foley met with Hastert's chief of staff back in 2003 about harassing the pages.
Hastert's chief of staff lives with him in DC. If he knew, Hastert knew. Plain and simple.
Perhaps Chris Wallace can flesh out Davis Bossie's position on the republican party being not conservative but radical.
That's what Joe Scarborough badgered him into admitting.
It was really pretty impressive.
Dept of Nutshellery: five shows, four Dems.
And the thugs are from the real mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging side of the pen:
David Bossie
Laura Ingraham
John Cornyn
Pat Buchanan
Jim Talent
Ray LaHood
Patricia Haton
James Baker's the liberal Republican, I guess
So she can whine in her unsufferably whiny voice about how Nancy Pelosi put our children at risk.
She had better not start that kind of nonsense.
Patricia Heaton is a conservative.
I know, but what's the redeeming value? What can she bring to a talk show that an expert can't bring?
Sooners playing WATB again.
Faux News Watch is off to a pretty good start dissecting the media withholding the emails.

She's the celebrity spokesmodel for autism??? Great.

According to the story, some people did get close to Jeb when they were yelling, and we can't have that, can we?
What is the price of being a pedophile member of congress
Foley donated $750k to the republican house campaign committee
Patricia Heaton is a conservative.
Ms. Feminist for Life?
The one who whined and cried during the Schiavo Debacle?
The one with the eating disorders and all the plastic surgery?
Shitty actress and shitty human being.
Patricia can tell us more about how Ms Shaivo is not brain dead.
What a nut.
Actually, Foley donated $1,000,000 not $750,000 for those keeping track.
He has given them over $5,000,000 during his career.
4 Dems and one liberal, Meehan, which is one more than most weeks.
I think Neil Gabler's fixing to throttle James Pinkerton, an understandable impulse.
-
Neal Gabler is excellent. Honestly the Faux News Watch is less conservative than Howie crap fest on Sundays
It doesn't look like any WH officials have been sent out to spout talking points. I wonder why that is...
Oh, look! NIchole Richie is thin!
joNo reminds me of the Ole crap house wall rhyme...
there was a man from bass
his ball were made of brass
when they clung together
they played stormy weather
and lightning shot outta his ass..
Wow, I had no idea that Heaton was such a known commodity. I'm getting the sneaky supsicion that you folks don't think much of her.
Neil Gabler used to be a real winger, but something has changed him these past couple of years.
Sooners playing WATB again.
ErinPDX
It would be nice if either the play-by-play guy or one of the two "experts" knew the rules of the game...
Patricia Heaton...why?
Wikipedia: Heaton is known as an outspoken conservative, pro-life activist and is the honorary chairperson of Feminists for Life, an organization that opposes the practice of abortion. She is a Republican and supporter of both President George W. Bush and the U.S. military invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Wow, I had no idea that Heaton was such a known commodity. I'm getting the sneaky supsicion that you folks don't think much of her.

Not really.
Oh, look! NIchole Richie is thin!
Great marketing tool!
Hastert's chief of staff lives with him in DC.
Say what?
Gabler was a winger? When was that?
Fox commenter wondering about Detroit's supposed inferiority complex? Dudes, look in the mirror - you brought up that incident from back in fucking 1984 where a handful of suburban punks burned a cop car and you made out like the entire city was aflame.
Since then we've had 3 major celebrations with Pistons victories, 3 for the Red Wings, plus championships for teams like the Shock this year. Great time was had by all.
That exchange between Gabler and Pinkerton should be youtube-ed or C&Led. It's exactly how to smack down the crap Pinkerton was spouting about CREW, D's leaking emails etc.
EXACTLY!
I think Pinkerton needs to change undies.

wow -- been absent all day, so don't know if this has been linked. but c&l has an amazing post about carville sabatoging kerry's ohio recount plan. what a fucking lowlife; i had no idea he was that duplicitous:
On page 344, Woodward describes the doings at the White House in the early morning hours of Wednesday, the day after the '04 election.
Apparently, Kerry had decided not to concede. There were 250,000 outstanding ballots in Ohio.
So Kerry decides to fight. In fact, he considers going to Ohio to camp out with his voters until there is a recount. This is the last thing the White House needs, especially after Florida 2000.
So what happened?
James Carville gets on the phone with his wife, Mary Matalin, who is at the White House with Bush.
"Carville told her he had some inside news. The Kerry campaign was going to challenge the provisional ballots in Ohio — perhaps up to 250,000 of them. 'I don't agree with it, Carville said. I'm just telling you that's what they're talking about.'
"Matalin went to Cheney to report…You better tell the President Cheney told her."
Matalin does, advising Bush that "somebody in authority needed to get in touch with J. Kenneth Blackwell, the Republican Secretary of State in Ohio who would be in charge of any challenge to the provisional votes." An SOS goes out to Blackwell.
The rest is history.

Hastert and Palmer live together.
Yahoo News
There are plenty of odd couple Congressmen who have roomed together on Capitol Hill, but I have never heard of a chief of staff who rooms with his boss. It is beyond unusual. But it must have its advantages. Anything they forget to tell each other at the office, they have until bedtime to catch up on. And then there's breakfast for anything they forgot to tell each other before falling asleep. And then there's all day at the office. Hastert and Palmer are together more than any other co-workers in the Congress.
Well, well, well. Isn't that interesting?
Et tu Cal Thomas? Turning on w?
ABC's "This Week" - Reps. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., and Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill.; former Secretary of State James Baker; actress Patricia Heaton, spokeswoman for Cure Autism

If they named an aircraft carrier after Bushdaddy, then they should name a sieve after Bushboy.
The sieve would commemorate the fact that the Bushboy regime began to sink from the moment it began it's voyage.
I have a theory that many people of, shall we say, a certain age, see, e.g., HoJo, simply haven't actually incorporated the internet tubes into their consciousness. On some abstract level, they've heard of the internets and they know that such a thing exists, but they haven't really understood that the internets exist. They believe that they can lie as they always have and get away with it. It's like Hastert saying their present system isn't designed for electronic communication. He seems to mean that it used to be ok because they could get away with it, but now, damn it, there are electronic records.

Joe Lieberman and Dennis Hastert. The Felix Unger and Oscar Madison of the GOP.
They named a school after Chimpy.
That just seems so wrong in so many ways
I can't even look at the video. He is SUCH an asshole.
What's more is that I can't believe he's polling higher than Lamont. What a pants-wetting type. A sellout. Enabler. Debaser!!!
30-7 Michigan.
Soon to be 31.
I have to say: i have NEVER seen Oklahoma implode like this, before.
i hope, linking a football game to politics irrationally, that the GOP will similarly implode.
Good one from Marshall's weekend sit-in:
From the AP, last Saturday:
"This time there were no tortured explanations, no heels dug in, no long, slow drip of revelation or fight for redemption. Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., just up and quit after his e-mails expressing undue interest in a 16-year-old male page were exposed to the nation. Less than six weeks from a tough election for Republicans who control an already ethically tainted Congress, the more common stick-it-out approach to scandal was cast aside.
'Resigning leaves your attackers nowhere to go,' said Eric Dezenhall, a crisis-management consultant. 'If this had dragged on, it could have sucked Republicans into the vortex of scandal.'"
Hee hee hee...
so, any new gop'ers abusing kids today?
This can't be true...

This would be a typical A-Rod moment: Hitting a home run in the eighth-inning of an 8-1 game.
Went to the Harvard/Cornell football game today. It was a beautiful day in Cambridge.
Harvard won 33-23. I know the Ivy League isn't the "big leagues" of college football but it was fun to watch.
"30-7 Michigan."
MI is tough. can't wait for the osu/mi game 
And yet, Joe's up in the polling.
'If this had dragged on, it could have sucked Republicans into the vortex of scandal.'"
That toilet has flushed.
Speaking of James Baker, the current Sec. of State is touring the Middle East. She doesn't seem to be faring too well.
Harvard won 33-23. I know the Ivy League isn't the "big leagues" of college football but it was fun to watch.
Used to be in the olden days.
Lieberman is about as unctuous and pompous as any horse's ass I've ever seen.
He also has a horse's face. I can't believe CT voters can't see through this charlatan.
"And yet, Joe's up in the polling."
i can see him being slightly ahead because goopers love him...maybe 2-4 pts. but 10 pts? no fucking way.
Neal Gabler need major props for being the only VOICE OF REASON on Fox News!!!!
I never thought Carville was a trustworthy Dem. Nice to see that he and Lieberman are finally being exposed as the Rethuglican operatives they've likely always been.
Why is this news?
pie --
just had never heard carville's name involved inthe decision not to challenge. and to hear that he's the key reason leaves me with an even lower opinion of him than i thought possible. i hate those kinds of words like 'traitors', but it sure seems appropriate here.
Oh yes - I've got about a third of the ramada painted now, and about half of its edges. I'm going to need another gallon of paint tho. To-morrow is also a day.
What a great day!
Horns 28-10 over the Sooners,
A-Rod sucks once again in the playoffs and the Yankees are about to go home
i can see him being slightly ahead because goopers love him...maybe 2-4 pts. but 10 pts? no fucking way.
Unless whomever is doing the polling is overpolling the Goopers. That would then make sense.
No need to try and make it look like Joe is doing bad, after all, is there?
Dr. Barmpot Shouty-Crackers, I heard your early plea to be stopped the next time a raw-wood painting project comes up. I promise I'll try, but for now, let me extend my sympathies to your arms and neck.
Harvard won the national football championship in 1919 and won the Rose Bowl in 1920.
That's when the Ivy League was the place to play.
That partisan frenzy lie is breathtaking.
What's more is that I can't believe he's polling higher than Lamont.
At talkingpointsmemo.com, there's this tidbit...
"Of all the leading players in the Mark Foley saga, Rep. Tom Reynolds is the only one in a close race for re-election. "
It makes one one wonder what a shitbag like Hastert has to do to NOT get reelected. Before the Foley thing, there was the story of Hastert's incredibly corrupt land deal, where he used an earmark to enrich himself by several million dollars. Who the hell votes for corrupt fucks like this? Stupid, motherfucking assholes!
Carville and that crowd from 1992 thinks they are the reason Clinton was elected.
A bunch of insider blowhards.
Carville, Begala, all the "New" Democrats.
Clinton won despite them.
and to hear that he's the key reason
The key reason?
Not defending him, but there were many things going on there.
I've yet to see Carville do the dems any favors. He and the missus are in it, seems to me, for themselves.
A dem in power? Good for Carville.
A repub? Mary.
Bah!
BTW, you can "share" that video with Lieberwhore himself... send it to:

Don't bother being polite.

'Enkew! I'm going to go sit in the spa for awhile in a minute. Not my arms and neck so much this time as my poor crippled right hand. That's the problem with having done stuff all your life - parts start wearing out. To-morrow - finish painting and then, finally, plant the star jasmine underneath the ramada on its very own trellis. And try to raise cucumbers. Again. And oh! The only flowers I got for the front beds, the ones against the deep green walls, white and orangey-red chrysanthemums. Got them home and realised I'd just declared myself Mexican territory. Looks very nice!

Whoever this announcer is for the Tigers/Yankees game:

He owes me money!
I have Carville's book - "Buck Up, Yadda Yadda..."
Of all of the political books I've ever read, it brought me the least amount of info.
Don't mess with Vicki. She'll leave marks.
Steinbrenner has more money to spend than any other baseball team and he buys star players as fast as he can.
His payroll this year was nearly $200 million, which is $70 million more than anybody else's.
I just love it when Steinbrenner spends his ass off and winds up a loser anyway!
What did Gabler say? I wasn't watching Faux.
No surprise that Joe is a liar. All the Republicans are liars.
Many of the times I've heard him, Carville has had trouble stringing together a coherent sentence.
Obviously, though, his cravenness knows no bounds.
Seen at Digby's:
I hear on the grapevine that the next hilariously lame GOP excuse is that --- you guessed it --- the emails are forgeries. I'm not kidding.

Diane C. Barking-Mad
Yes, indeed. Fox just hired A.J. Pierzynski of the White Sox to be a special in-studio pre- and post-game analyst for the ALCS.
Also not to defend him, but there is nothing in this story about Carville having anything whatsoever to do with Kerry's Ohio decisions. I think it's an element in the constant disinfo campaign that crescendos around election time, designed to divert opposition energy into arguing about what is pedophilia, gay mafia, who lost Ohio, liberals leaking to press, etc etc etc ad infinauseum.
Wise up. The mission is to destroy the R's on Nov. 7. All else is Rovian chaff.

When only a buttcheek chapeau will do, there's Lowry Asshattery:
The great divide in our cultural politics continues to be sex. The cultural left considers sex all-important and not important at all. All-important because it is a crucial means of self-expression; not important because the when, where and how don’t matter so much (sex is sex so long as it’s consensual). The cultural right considers sex wonderful and dangerous. Wonderful because it is the ultimate consummation of love; dangerous because if it is not carefully circumscribed, it destroys individuals and cultures.
Peterboy,
No sweat whatsoever.
Looks like the first (of three) Ford/Corker debate is tonight, but surprise! It's not being televised on open air TV!

The WORST thing about FOX having any major sporting events is that their local stations tend to be podunk little outposts that do not broadcast in HD. Thanks a lot, assholes.
DJ--I think those guys -- jope buck etc--are on ESPN not Fox.
No, Joe Buck is on Fox. He's their NFL pre-game host, and he's their lead play-by-play guy for baseball and football. He also does St. Louis Cardinals games locally (busy man).
McCarver is his baseball partner.
Miller and Morgan do the Sunday night ESPN baseball game, and move over to radio when the League Championship Series begin. Schulman and Campbell do the Sunday night game on radio.
Chris Berman has single-handedly ruined sports for me.
Now, I thought he was kind of cool when he was younger. I hear screams of glee on the teevee!
Today, on a Faux radio newscast, they reported on the Democrat response to Bush's Saturday address. They said the spokesperson was critical of the DEMOCRAT leadership for not coming out sooner with the news on Mark Foley.

What is the mathematical probability that the Yanks can come back with 2 Outs to go?
"Carville told her he had some inside news. The Kerry campaign was going to challenge the provisional ballots in Ohio — perhaps up to 250,000 of them. 'I don't agree with it, Carville said. I'm just telling you that's what they're talking about. Matalin went to Cheney to report…You better tell the President Cheney told her."
That's it.
Carville now has a slot in the Duck Pit.
Fuck him and that bitch he's married to.
Sitting on a park bench....
Sex is like air; you don't really think too much about it until you aren't getting any! LOL!
Sorry, couldn't help that... but seriously, could someone explain to me, since this thread is ostensibly about Lieberman, why isn't Lamont crushing this loon?
could someone explain to me, since this thread is ostensibly about Lieberman, why isn't Lamont crushing this loon?
The poll is about name recognition and general popularity, neither of which makes up a ground game of volunteers, precinct captains, etc. that you need to get your voters to the polls. All of which Lamont should have as party nominee, and as he is now endorsed by the unions.
Lamont will have his chance to turn the polls his way in the upcoming debate.
Oh good lord, one moment it's the Chevron ad, and the next moment it's an ad for Wal-Mart in Phoenix! Yech!

Tiggers win, Motor City goes wild! Congrats to Vicki and Barndog and DWD, and any other MI peeps in the house!

Stunning!
Congrats, you Michiganders
Today, on a Faux radio newscast, they reported on the Democrat response to Bush's Saturday address. They said the spokesperson was critical of the DEMOCRAT leadership for not coming out sooner with the news on Mark Foley.
You have to wonder if they have an automatic script editing program that randomly changes "Republican" to "Democrat" when the shit hits the fan. This wouild also explain the "Democrat party" bit, because then the software wouldn't have to worry about putting an "-ic" in the wrong place...
Feel free to celebrate, Michigan people.
Jumping up and down, braless!
(Sorry, couldn't resist...)
Ok, it's now officially cold weather. I just put on my warm, fuzzy socks.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator |
80 F now, which is actually "cool," as it was in the mid '90's yesterday.
Should be down to 66 for a high by Thursday. But I ain't holdin' my breath.
pudge rodriguez is a winner
the emails are forgeries. I'm not kidding.
Poor Foley. Resigning for nothing like that, without even a whimper of protest that it was a frameup.
Yeah, that's credible.
I just put on my warm, fuzzy socks.
Oooh...I have a pair of those. Thanks for the reminder.

Sex broke up the Beatles and keyed my car.
Jumping up and down, braless!
wow and wow.
I'm in sweatpants. And it got up to 73F here, today... never got anywhere near that warm inside, I can tell ya.
Chilly here today, 80F. I went into Tucson, to chase down dowm hardware junk, was over 90F there.
HW Bush's diplomats literally told Saddam that he viewed this as a private thing between Iraq and Kuwait and didn't really want to hear about it, tusting Saddam to take care of it all. Somehow Saddam interpreted that as a green light.

That was April Glassby, who worked for Unka James, the father of all evil. He's out trying to re-vamp his reputation. When asked about crimes like this recently, he said if he had broken the law, he would have been prosecuted... Smug prick.

You can leave those, and your hat on.
the tigers are putting on the best fan-team celebration ive ever seen.
I'm partial to those woolen top/leather bottomed slipper-socks myself, and sweats, glorious sweats in cooler weather.
Us Pirate fans feel that we contributed to this win by letting you have Casey and Leyland.
This is the best I've seen since the Sox ran out of the stadium and began to tend bar at the Cask & Flagon.
the phillies could have hired Leyland, but the decided to hire fing charlie manual because leyland was to much a man for ed wade. i hate the fing phillies.

As a last bit of revenge, the republicans will deliver a win for Lieberman, spiking the punchbowl with a large turd, as they turn power over to their enemies and exit the playing field.
Many of the times I've heard him, Carville has had trouble stringing together a coherent sentence.
Obviously, though, his cravenness knows no bounds.
Carville makes perfect sense.
The boy is a gunslinger that, if he's on your side, is very effective.

Great party we're having, eh? Hopefully we can have another at the end of October. For now I'll just savor beating the Yankees.
I was talking to my HR supervisor on Friday and she was certain we'd never beat the Yankees. I'm sure Colleen is very, very happy to be proven wrong.

Hmmm...chocolate cheesecake sounds pretty good right now.
It is not yet finished and is scheduled to be delivered to the Navy in late 2008.
So why christen the USS Bush now? Doesn't that usually happen right before it goes into service? Maybe they know Poppy won't be around in 2 years.
Sallyh, we're having Tigers victory cake. Devil's food, with orange-stripe icing and champagne on the side.

I'd just like to say something about the baseball game. We talk all the time about how the GOP get a meme going and no matter how false it is, the media swallows it.
Well, goddamnit, it's true for sports too.
NY Yankees: 97 wins playing in a division that was 8 games under .500 for the year.
Det. Tigers: 95 wins in a division that was thirty-two games OVER .500.
So, what's with the David & Goliath shit? The better team won. I'm about to go thru my TV screen and strangle the fucking announcers.

Oct. 7, 2006 - Hastert's chief of staff met with Foley to discuss the time and attention Foley was giving House pages YEARS before Hastert admits becoming aware of the issue, a current House staffer told ABC News. The staffer told ABC News of learning in November 2005 about an EARLIER meeting between Scott Palmer and Foley. November 2005 was around the time Shimkus, head of the House Page Board, and then-clerk Trandahl, who was the administrator of the page program, met with Foley about an e-mail exchange Foley had with a former page sponsored by Rodney Alexander, R-Lousiana. "At that time, I became aware that there was a PREVIOUS meeting" between Foley and Palmer, the House staffer told ABC News. That seems to corroborate the account of Kirk Fordham, Foley's former chief of staff, who said he had gone to Palmer to ask Hastert to intervene and try to change Foley's behavior as FAR BACK as 2003. Palmer has since said, "What Kirk Fordham said did not happen." On Wednesday, Fordham was forced to resign as chief of staff to Thomas Reynolds, R-New York Before the scandal became public, sources told ABC News, Trandahl had called Fordham several times to complain that Foley was paying too much attention to pages. Fordham said he would talk with Foley about the matter, according to the accounts. Usually, Foley's behavior would change for a short time, only to return - and Trandahl would call Fordham AGAIN, according to the sources. After SEVERAL such cycles, the sources said, Fordham and Trandahl discussed seeking the help of Hastert's office, which led to Fordham's meeting with Palmer. Today, The Washington Post and The New York Times also reported claims that Palmer was AWARE of allegations against Foley before Hastert ACKNOWLEDGES knowing about them. Hastert is now declining to talk about specifics of the scandal".

Google Earth has a nice feature showing US voter registration and voting info by location with deadline dates, directions, etc.
Today and tomorrow the 29-30 day before election requirements start hitting, but I notice several states allow registration up to 15 days, 21 days etc.

When is Kissinger gonna kick the bucket???
I'm also pleased for Jim Leyland...I always thought he was a classy manager.
Barndog, I saw that with the state cop. Gave me a big smile.
NY Atriots, I'd feel sorry for you, but damn it, it's been too damn long for us. I talked to my favorite niece and realized that our last world chaampionship occurred before she was born.
I still remember the jubilation in 1968. That's the team that will always be closest to my heart, not just the big guys, but the bit players who kept chipping in.
Oh, and the one forgivable time to pronounce it "DEE-troit" is when you're crying "there ain't no party like a Detroit party!"

I'm also pleased for Jim Leyland...I always thought he was a classy manager.
And then, of course, you have the Lions, who fired Steve Mariucci - a decent guy and a good coach - before he could show them what he's made of.

Man, beating the Lieberman dead horse is getting old. Lamont stepped down at a crucial time--right after he won the primary--and has been fighting a pretty rear guard action ever since. Unless he kicks ass in their upcoming debate (there is an upcoming debate, right?), we're going to have to deal with Joe in the Senate, plain and simple. It sucks, but it's true. So hopefully someone right now is actually thinking about what we're going to do about him then.

Sallyh, is the surgery an outpatient procedure or will you be in overnight?
Greenwald rips Kristol a new one, Kristol having said that Democrats should support the Boy Scouts in their efforts to keep "people like Foley" away from young boys:
The controversial Boy Scouts policy to which Kristol is referring, of course, is one which bans gay men generally -- not "people like Mark Foley" -- from being scoutmasters, but Kristol's statement purposely recognizes no such distinction. Kristol is overtly arguing that the Mark Foley case proves that gay men cannot be trusted around young children. Many of the basest right-wing commentators have subtly implied that equivalence, but none has so overtly equated the two as explicitly as Kristol did Thursday night.
It's precisely that sort of "reasoning" that ought to lead one also to inquire whether the spying cases of AIPAC's Larry Franklin and Jonathan Pollard suggest that Jews have too much loyalty to Israel to be trusted in high government positions and with access to classified information, or whether the corruption cases of Jack Abramoff and Marc Rich prove that Jews have a desire for unwarranted profits and therefore can't be trusted around money.
Kristol would be the first to shriek quite loudly if the "reasoning" he invokes were to be applied in other contexts, but his desperately desired war with Iran -- that which matters to Kristol above all else -- is being jeopardized by this Foley scandal (a Democrat-controlled House or Senate would make approval for such a war much more unlikely). And so, like so many of his political comrades, Kristol seems to have departed completely from the realm of reason as a result of this scandal [Kristol also has the dubious distinction of being the first pundit (at least that I have seen) to expressly argue that the Foley scandal will be politically harmful to Democrats].

Or, better yet, the USS George W Bush Lead Zeppelin.

The collapse of the Bush presidency, in other words, is not just due to Bush's incompetence (although his administration has been incompetent beyond belief). Nor is it a response to the president's principled lack of intellectual curiosity and pitbull refusal to admit mistakes (although those character flaws are certainly real enough). And the orgy of bribery and special-interest dispensation in Congress is not the result of Tom DeLay's ruthlessness, as impressive a bully as he was. This conservative presidency and Congress imploded, not despite their conservatism, but because of it.
Contemporary conservatism is first and foremost about shrinking the size and reach of the federal government. This mission, let us be clear, is an ideological one. It does not emerge out of an attempt to solve real-world problems, such as managing increasing deficits or finding revenue to pay for entitlements built into the structure of federal legislation. It stems, rather, from the libertarian conviction, repeated endlessly by George W. Bush, that the money government collects in order to carry out its business properly belongs to the people themselves. One thought, and one thought only, guided Bush and his Republican allies since they assumed power in the wake of Bush vs. Gore: taxes must be cut, and the more they are cut--especially in ways benefiting the rich--the better.
But like all politicians, conservatives, once in office, find themselves under constant pressure from constituents to use government to improve their lives. This puts conservatives in the awkward position of managing government agencies whose missions--indeed, whose very existence--they believe to be illegitimate. Contemporary conservatism is a walking contradiction. Unable to shrink government but unwilling to improve it, conservatives attempt to split the difference, expanding government for political gain, but always in ways that validate their disregard for the very thing they are expanding. The end result is not just bigger government, but more incompetent government.-Alan Wolfe

USS JIMMY CARTER is the third and final SEAWOLF - class nuclear-powered attack submarine and the first ship in the Navy to honor the 39th president of the United States and the only U.S. president to qualify in submarines.
As the most advanced submarine in the SEAWOLF - class, the JIMMY CARTER has built-in flexibility and an array of new warfighting features that enable her to prevail in any scenario and against any threat – from beneath Artic ice to shallow water. Differentiating the JIMMY CARTER from all previous undersea vessels is its Multi-Mission Platform (MMP), which includes a 100-foot hull extension to enhance payload capability. The MMP enables JIMMY CARTER to accommodate the advanced technology required to develop and test new generation of weapons, sensors and undersea vehicles for naval special warfare, tactical surveillance and mine-warfare operations.

A ship worthy of the name George W. Bush, the Vasa...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Reg...galskeppet_Vasa
Regalskeppet Vasa (also Wasa) was a Swedish 64-gun ship of the line, built for King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden of the House of Vasa, between 1626 and 1628. The Vasa capsized on its maiden voyage but was later recovered and is now on display at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm...
After a few years, the shipyard ran into economic problems, delaying the construction of the contracted ships. At the same time, the Swedish navy lost 10 ships in a single storm and the king worriedly sent a letter to Admiral Klas Fleming, asking him to make sure that Henrik hurried with the construction of the two smaller ships. Along with the letter were measurements for the ship the King intended, with a 120 foot keel. That gave Henrik Hybertsson new problems, because the measurements given by the king were between the planned larger and smaller vessels and the timber had already been cut. In a new letter, on February 22, 1626, the king yet again demanded his measurements for the new ship be followed. In the end, it seems likely that Henrik extended one of his started designs for a smaller 108 foot ship by adding another section to it, creating the 135 foot ship that would become the Vasa [2].
Henrik Hybertsson never had the chance to see the Vasa completed; he fell ill in late 1625 and died in the spring of 1627. The supervision for the shipbuilding was given to Henrik's assistant, Hein Jaconsson, another Dutch immigrant. In practice, while Henrik was ill, the responsibility was shared between him and his assistant Hein, leading to confusion and a lack of leadership[2].
While the ship was being equipped, Admiral Fleming ordered the stability of the Vasa to be tested. The standard stability test of the day was thirty sailors running from side to side, assessing the tendency of the boat to rock. When this was attempted on Vasa, the ship started tilting significantly after only three runs and the admiral ordered the test aborted, allegedly stating "had they run any more times, she would have went over". Surprisingly enough, neither Hein Jacobsson nor Johan Isbrandsson, the two ship builders in charge at the time, were present for the stability test. Boatswain Matsson, is said to have uttered "God hope it will stay on its keel" in response to the test[2].
On August 10, 1628, Captain Söfring Hansson ordered the Vasa to set sail on her maiden voyage to the harbor of Stockholm. The day was calm, and the only wind was a light breeze from the southwest. Her sails were not set until the southern outskirts of the harbor, but the Vasa sailed for less than a nautical mile before capsizing, once they had been rigged. In the harbor a gust of wind forced the ship onto her port side, after which water started flowing in through her open gun ports. Vasa sank to a depth of 100 feet, around 100 yards from the shore. Despite the short distance to the land, between 30 and 50

Not good enough for me. Lieberman needs to be punished for stabbing his own party in the back. He needs to be made to serve as an object lesson to other politicians that they need to respect the people who voted them into office in the first place, or they will get voted out and replaced by somebody who will do the bidding of the voters. That's how democracy is supposed to work. The fact that Lieberman is taking a big, smelly dump all over this process by refusing to bow out after losing the primary is reason enough for him to be kicked out of the Senate.
Alexander Cockburn will not be on Barack Obama's xmas card list this year:
What a slimy fellow Obama is, as befits a man symbolizing everything that will continue to be wrong with the Democratic Party for the next 20 years. Every time I look up he's doing something disgusting, like reproaching his fellow senator Dick Durbin for denouncing the torture center at Guantanamo or cheerleading the nuke-Iran crowd.

i wonder if foley ever asked ford to get some ice cream with him.
he was only 26 when he first went to the house.
Thanks, billy b. And perhaps after supper, there'll be music making and merriment?
"the TN debate is over. i think ford did well. he's such a hottie; i can't help myself."
he did spew a whole list of chimpco shit he voted for, tho, and seemed proud of it. he also seemed very proud to say he's 'not a liberal' like it was some kind of fucking disease.
he's a dlc whackaloon.

The built-in that's in the Shouty-Crackers Coalition notebook (no external connector for an antenna -- it has every flippin' thing else, though). I have an Orinoco card and a +7dBi omni, but it's not as good as the built-in.

Condi Rice is a stupid inexperieced priviledged crony family bitch, who cares about nobody, who fucked up 9/11, who brings nothing to the table in the ME, betrays her own ethnicity, and who the world stage thinks is irrelevant (see Leb.) , and quite frankly embarrasses me with her hideous fast-paced gate at world events.

Olaf read a review of the carvin kit on the web the first time you mentioned it, billy. sounds like agreat deal. the upshot of the review was that for less than $400, plus a little bit of fairly easy work, you get what ammounts to a kickass strat.
I have a buddy that's played Carvins for years and I finally jumped on it. I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised.
The whole kit, with the options ran around $450.

John Aravosis And Crew And Foley Emails
Posted by AJStrata on October 7th, 2006
John Aravosis is yapping up a storm, and letting out details he doesn’t quite comprehend are (a) not common knowledge and (b) implicate him as working to orchestrate Foleygate in the media. It is important to note all the activity in July of 2006 regarding the non-salacious emails between Foley and a Page from Louisianna (aka, the LA Page). I have done numerous posts on these emails (the last one here with back referencing links). Reader TopSecretK9 as reminded me of this Aravosis comment when he admitted in October that he had the Foley Emails in July and mentioned he had done nothing after talking to CREW. She found this recent Aravosis post which tipped some more information out:
When I received the Foley emails this past July, had I been warned two or three years ago that Foley was stalking pages, I’d have turned the emails over to the FBI myself, not waiting for CREW to do it (which was shortly after I received them anyway). But I didn’t receive the warnings Denny Hastert received. I didn’t know five years ago that Foley was stalking pages - like Denny Haster knew, since his office warned the pages 5 years ago to stay away from Foley.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave… So Aravosis was one of those involved in moving the non-salacious emails around. He clearly did not turn them over to the FBI because he was waiting for CREW to do that - for the little band of liberal warriors? In he has a slightly different story:
as noted before, shortly after I got the emails CREW told me they had sent them to the FBI and I figured that was the best way to handle them - silly me, since the FBI is now part of the cover-up
Then John gets threatening and nasty, ready to expose his compatriots who also had the emails (before July):
If CNN dares go there with me, I’ve already told them that I’ll be asking the host in return why it is that ABC, the LA Times, the Miami Herald, the Palm Beach Post, several other publications and little old me had the memos all this time but CNN didn’t.
Johnny is feeling the heat. It seems he was ‘waiting’ on CREW to go to the FBI since they clearly said they would do so. They told him they did go to the FBI, but apparently they also told them they would go to trhe FBI. What is interesting about this is ABC News is mentioned has having the Emails “all this time” and CNN didn’t. The question is where did Aravosis get his copies. Interestingly, Aravosis posted the FORGED versions of the emails from the StopSexPredators (SPP) website! These are clearly forged because there is no date fields in the headers and the punctuation is not right compared to those from ABC News and CREW. Why did Aravosis use the faked up versions on his blog? We need to see what versions he has, but the only version he showed were those from SSP. He admits coordinating things with CREW and uses the forged emails to create

Well, one must be careful when treading these grounds, as I learned in the Fortune 500 gig. I worked with "product analysts," whose jobs it was to gather requirements from a client (internal, usually), and they could get into their heads some really wacky design ideas, and become wedded to them in no time. I would try to tell them, "Well, yes, we can do that... but it's a little bit like reversing the brake and the accelerator pedals in your car -- everybody knows the gas is on the right, and the brake on the left -- why you wanna mess with that?" and they'd be all pissed off.

I wish someone would start asking the questions about the possibility Foley could have been compromised. This guy is doing something at least border line illegal, he doesn't want anyone to know. But obviously quite a few did. In terms of the nation's business including security, this guy could have been turned by any one. Including the irony of being turned by the page. (Pun intended)

From what I've read, it appears that the Dems knew all about it sometime ago but held on to it for election leverage.
I'm sure you are able to post some actual evidence behind that allegation.
Richard
"Rush sez so" isn't actual evidence.
Foley got to the US House in 1994 when the R's took control. He has always served under R's leadership. R's control the House, so this is a Repub problem.
Gee, I wonder how much Tom DeLay knew about Foley's "problem" with pages? Didn't he claim to know a lot about the members of the house? To control people, you must know their weak points. Gosh I hope DeLay gets subpoenaed by the ethics committee.
Oh jeez, I didn't know Romans used Lampreys as a method of killing people.
Evidence? Evidence? We don't need no steenkin' evidence! Reality is what we say it is, if we say the Dems knew then the Dems knew. If we say Foley is a Dem, he's a Dem. We have mad Jedi skillz! Listen America! This isn't the scandal you're looking for! Move along!!
They have more in common with the Romans at the fall of the Roman Empire, and perhaps with many recent dictators than the constituent whose votes they covet.
They have a helluva in common with Adolf, Hermann, Josef, Heinrich and the boys of the Third Reich.

You mean some democrats knew about the GAY REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN/SEXUAL PREDATOR and didn't do enough to stop the GAY REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN/SEXUAL PREDATOR from continuing activities that the REPUBLICAN LEADERS OF CONGRESS knew about even earlier and didn't do anything about? Gosh all that talk about the GAY REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN/SEXUAL PREDATOR sure-nuff could be damaging to both parties indeed!
Let's talk a lot more about the GAY REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN/SEXUAL PREDATOR, why don't we? All next week for sure, and by then we'll have more details about the GAY REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN/SEXUAL PREDATOR and that should carry it well into yet another week and the next thing you know that GAY REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN/SEXUAL PREDATOR will be on everybody's minds as they're going to the polls!
Brilliant!

Word. We have to. After '08 maybe we'll look at campaign ethics.
Foley got to the US House in 1994 when the R's took control. He has always served under R's leadership. R's control the House, so this is a Repub problem.
see? this is why the dems have to stay away from blurring the party lines. what can bring one party down shant bring down the other.

It is sort of interesting seeing them flailing about for some kind of response to being so thoroughly busted for their corruption that even their base is turning against them. It's a lie - no it's a setup - no, it's an orchestrated campaign of deception, err, the truth, umm, but which Dems knew about and the GOP didn't - I mean, it's totally the homophobia of the left - err not that we don't also hate teh gays - ummmmmmmmmm - would you believe Foley was actually a Democratic mole?
Their corrupt ways have finally made them blind.
what's really kind of funny is that this scandal involves pages and instant messaging. i may be dense, but it seems to me that if you have instant messaging, then you don't really need pages.
All systems go in the bat cave.
Hey, what ever happened to that term-limit thingie they ran on in 94?
12 years, right. Well, time to go.
FINALLY, a story so simple even 40 years of dumbed-down edumacation and wholesale media prostitution cannot obscure.

others have similar stories, so it resonates with people
Xan,
I think that there is some talk of a GAY REPUBLICAN SEXUAL PREDATOR of late, but I wonder if we should be talking more about the REPUBLICAN SEXUAL PREDATOR in Congress. This REPUBLICAN GAY SEXUAL PREDATOR was known by the Republican leadership to be a GAY STALKER but then the REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP COVERED UP THE GAY REPUBLICAN SEXUAL PREDATOR lest it become a scandal.
what's really kind of funny is that this scandal involves pages and instant messaging. i may be dense, but it seems to me that if you have instant messaging, then you don't really need pages.
I wonder if the whole IM thing has scared people. I hadn't IM'd anyone in probably a year or more until the other night, and it was rather fun, but man, I can see how it could be incriminating.
Gee, I wonder how much Tom DeLay knew about Foley's "problem" with pages? Didn't he claim to know a lot about the members of the house? To control people, you must know their weak points.
Bingo! They all said DeLay had everything there was to be had on everyone there, which is how he was able to command such "discipline" among the GOP members.
Heh - I said GOP members.

Chances are, Karl Rove knew about it as far back as 2003. That year, Foley started a run for the Senate, but abruptly dropped out "to spend more time with his parents". Steve Gilliard mentioned that Rove pushed him to drop out.

You are right, of course.
The problem is that the mechanism for such a solution, the House Ethics Committee, was completely dismantled by the GOP leadership (to protect DeLay), so there really was no way for the Democratic members of the House to shut down Foley even if they had known.
Do you realize that the committee is meeeting for the first time in yarons, and only because ABC put Hastert's backside against the campfire?

Soldier In Iraq Subpoenaed In Foley Investigation
by georgia10
Sat Oct 07, 2006 at 07:15:23 PM PDT
Iliona over at ePluribus Media points us to a scathing Courier-Journal editorial which reveals surprising developments in the Foley investigation: Two of our local members, Ron Lewis and Mike Sodrel, suddenly found it inconvenient to walk around arm in arm with Speaker Dennis Hastert at a campaign fund-raiser or a Rotary Club appearance. At least they recognize that pedophilia and its enablers don't go over well anywhere, much less in respectable parts of Middle America like Elizabethtown and Jeffersonville.
One young man whom Mr. Lewis sponsored as a page has been drawn into the FBI probe. Now a soldier in Iraq, he has been subpoenaed to talk about messages that Mr. Foley, a Florida Republican, sent him.
The soldier--who was a page five years ago--called in from Iraq earlier this week:
Lewis's chief of staff got a satellite phone call from Iraq Tuesday afternoon from a man who wouldn't identify himself. But he did say he was a soldier from Kentucky's Second Congressional District who wanted to give Lewis a heads up.
"To let us know that he had been approached by Mark Foley in 2001 and that he is speaking to the proper authorities, to a JAG officer who will then pass that on to the FBI," says Lewis.
Congressman Lewis's office is the only local one we've found that's gotten a call from any of their former pages, alleging misconduct by Foley, a man Lewis describes this way: "He was a creepy guy."

Algonquin J. Calhoun is on the record as being pro-child raping.
How republican of him.
Republican slogan:
We need to turn the page, move on..
Wait, I'll be back, that's no good.
how are they supposed to spend their time, professionally? what are they supposed to be doing?
Answer phones, carry messages, answer questions from Republican Congressmen about their penis size and masturbation habits.
The Mets are coming back!
Duck the Fodgers!!!
We have to fight the pedophiles in Washington, so that we don't have to fight them here in {insert district}
Ya know how some people inexplicably will describe one of their friends as "a good guy" even though he's the worst rat bastard you've ever met? That's how people tend to feel about their own Representatives. But once in a while, a "good guy" gets caught on videotape being a total motherfucker, and people are forced to wonder, very briefly, about their own judgement.
The only "honorable" course of action for Foley now is to name names and bring down every slimy mofo in town.
I hope the Dems are behind this coming out now; maybe they're going to start fighting the repigs on their own terms now.
On KO's show, Mark Klass was very grateful that the story was released exactly when it was, had it been another 2 hours, everyone would have dispensed for the rest of the season and Foley would be coming back with no repurcussions. The timing, he said, was perfect and should applauded.
Joe got spanked again by voting public...
Student Kevin Miner, who said he'd voted for Lieberman twice in 2000, said one question had been eating him up for a long time: "I want to know what the moral reasoning is from a man who went from being a freedom rider to a torture apologist. I want to know what happened."
The crowd — dozens of students joined by a lot of faculty and staff — applauded the question.

A long Washington Post piece on "new media" includes this great tidbit about Bill Clinton:
He said Democrats of his generation tend to be naive about new media realities. There is an expectation among Democrats that establishment old media organizations are de facto allies--and will rebut political accusations and serve as referees on new-media excesses.
"We're all that way, and I think a part of it is we grew up in the '60s and the press led us against the war and the press led us on civil rights and the press led us on Watergate," Clinton said. "Those of us of a certain age grew up with this almost unrealistic set of expectations."
This Clinton is an astute one, isn't he? We've made essentially the same argument many times--including with reference to Clinton's own recent outburst on "Fox News Sunday." The former president, used to sycophantic interviewers like David Remnick and Larry King, was unprepared for a tough question and lashed out, delivering an angry, paranoid rant.
Somehow Clinton understands that "we," his fellow liberals, are fatuous about the media but he fails to grasp that he is.
Will any book reviewer ever dare to use the phrase 'a real page turner' again?
I envy the high scholl students of the future, who will read that this happened when the House Repubs were led by a man named "Boehner".
Copy and paste?
That would probably work too. I've never tried to save an IM one way or the other.

? I thought it wasn't the commenter's problem but haloscan just gets a glitch?
Or haloscan thinks your comment was so profound it needed to be repeated...
Democrats are hyping the big problem of the deficits and claiming that they will be fiscally responsible. While I am not thrilled about running deficits, as I have pointed out in the past, we are making significant progress on this--and you can give Bush's tax reductions some of the credit for this, by causing a significant increase in tax revenues. A few months back, I pointed out how the deficit projection had dropped from $423 billion to $296 billion over a one year period, largely because of increased tax revenues.
Well, the good news keeps coming, much to the chagrin of the billionaires' party. Over at Back Talk, whose author describes himself as "a professor at a major research university, a registered Democrat, a liberal by most measures, but a radical conservative relative to the large majority of my colleagues" is a discussion of budget deficit progress, and more importantly, budget deficits as a fraction of gross domestic product (GDP):
The 2006 budget deficit figures were just released, and the deficit is not only getting better, it is now relatively small by historical standards.
Back Talk then points to a news story about how the budget deficit projection is now down to $250 billion--and that is about 1.9% of the GDP. Back Talk then provides a graph showing the federal budget deficit or surplus as a percent of GDP from 1976 to the present--and considering that there is a war on, we are doing shockingly well.

Goddamn I am glad bill clinton is out of office. He has contributed greatly to that media he claims we are so naive about. The media has to be more than a way to make money. It has to be more than a Capitolistic tool. The media cannot be just a propaganda tool in a free republic. What Clinton endorse and believes is absolutely wrong. We should have expectations of honesty and truth from the media that informs us. If not those mothers better start paying up the ass for MY AIR WAVES in taxes and usage fees. No more clintons. No more moderate republicans.

Umm, no. There never was a golden age where the media ever was anything like that. The best any media ever was was like blogs are now, what British papers were before they were deliberately corrupted: instead of childish submission to an officially perfect source, know of several sources and know their angles. We are far better off this way.
That's about the only one I do like! Love "Night Moves."

Honestly, can you blame her? What with the Clenis and all being all engorged. Err, enraged.
btw I was surprised not to see more talk about the GAY REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN/CHILD MOLESTER story in the LA Times yesterday (mighta been Thursday).
Apparently it was common knowledge in his district--at least among the Better Class of People--that he was not only gay, Out-In-The-We-Just-Never-Talk-About-It sort of way, but in a longtime relationship.

Well, there you go again Mr. Olaf, trying to be all rational and intyllectuuual and modern. Trying to be smart won't win you any votes with Mr. And Mrs. John and Jane Doe I warn you, although you probably guessed that by now.
I disagree about this aspect since the Page Program is a great way for kids to learn about our Govt. and since it is a somewhat historical tradition.
I do agree about the amusing/disgusted part though, and I may be dense too, but it kinda seems to me that since Foley was a repiglican prevert homosexuuuual PREDATOR, who after all KNOWS that ALL HIS RIGHTS TO PRIVACY have been DESTROYED, since HE helped to DESTROY them, then he MIGHT NOT WANT TO BE PREYING ON LITTLE BOYS OVER his COMPUTER, especially seeing as he was a CONGRESSMAN IN CHARGE OF PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM CYBER MOLESTATION.

Honestly, can you blame her? What with the Clenis and all being all engorged. Err, enraged
her?... i suspect not. I would undertake to develop a definitive test for actual troll gender identification; but since they’re are all appear mostly asexual, what would be the point?

Jews 30%

That's interesting.
cheney_usa
Wait a minute! I can explain this! Uh... The Born agains were married before they became born again so they were married to the wrong person and they had to get divorced from the sinner so's they could be all proper and holy and stuff..
And those evildoer atheists never get married so they don't count.
The Jewish people are just over educated.
slaughter, she's got to come out and say something about this.

She already has. I don't have her web site url handy, but I got an email from it in which she really excoriated the GOP for this. I'm sure the site has something as well.

actually, most bob seger songs are pretty good. i can't think of one that is great, but lots of them are ok. almost all of them, actually. he is consistently mediocre. there is one really good one, but i can't think of it right now.

America's worst school violence ever was not a recent event, but the Bath School disaster of 1927. Andrew Kehoe, a school board member upset with his tax bill, used dynamite and some pyrotol from WWI-era military surplus to blow himself up along with the elementary school of Bath Township, Michigan, leaving 45 dead and 58 injured.
Another fucking conservative upset about high taxes.
i like "katmandu". mostly just because i would like to go to katmandu someday. it's really not that great of a song. i'm just thrilled with the whole idea of katmandu as a place. it's the capital of nepal. way up in the himalayas. pretty far from anywhere.
Now that fucking song is in my head...

We should have expectations of honesty and truth from the media that informs us.
Umm, no. There never was a golden age where the media ever was anything like that. The best any media ever was was like blogs are now, what British papers were before they were deliberately corrupted: instead of childish submission to an officially perfect source, know of several sources and know their angles. We are far better off this way.
k+y=666 | 10.07.06 - 10:50 pm | #
Um yes. We should expect both honesty and truth from our media. Most Americans make their decisions based on that media. Radio, TV and print. With the consolodation of media we should expect that more than ever. When there was true competiton between broadcasters for viewers and readers, before the consolodations, we would get conflicting stories and we could be the judges of what was reliable.
But we do not get that now and although the internet and blogs are heaven sent, too little of the population has acess to it and they are not regulated as conventional media is.
And what you see on the blogs is largely reprints from AP, Reuters and other corporate media.
Which goes back to media having to have standards that can be relied upon or sources that can be confirmed.
Not as with faux spews who use "some say", "there are those who say" as confirmation of news reports.
It is not unreasonable to expect fairness and accuracy in media.

Speaking of who knew what when, Biblically or otherwise, aside from the obvious House ruler then, Tom Delay, whose name and phone number have fallen out of the airy heads of 'reporters', one has to wonder what the pasty Karl knew when he slapped Foley flat out of the Senate race for which Foley was gearing up, with fevered visions of winning membership in that most exclusive Senate Page Molesting Club.
What did Karl know that was too hot to risk in a Senate race?

Oh I don't know. The thing is when there was truly competiton among broadcasters we had much more acess to what the happenings of the day were. It was easier to question the reliablity of sources.
Was there ever a day when there was absolute truth in broadcasting probably no.
But what happened before the invasion of Iraq should not have happened. Anyone who questioned the word of shrub was allowed to be labeled traitors.
In a healthy media at least the questions would have been allowed. Curveball would have been exposed, wistleblowers would have been listened to. Kathline Crowley would have been followed up on.

What I am arguing is that it should not be unrealistic to expect those source to be reliable. The other point you make is one of the highlights of Blogs they bring up the news that was buried on 17A of the local media. Which most of the time is far more important than the cat caught in a tree on page one. Not only that they grab onto that story like a bulldog and ignore newscycles and don't care if it's friday or not. Blogs have been great that way. Which brings to mind that print media covers its ass by doing exactly that, no one can say they didn't cover the story. Just like to the build up to the invasion of Iraq. Counter views or information was always in the back pages.

SAN DIEGO - Disgraced former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham lashed out at the reporter who uncovered the corruption scandal that sent him to prison, telling him in a letter that his "constant cruelty" had nearly destroyed Cunningham's life.
The former Navy "Top Gun" pilot also blasted defense contractor Mitchell Wade, who helped implicate him to authorities.
"Wade is the absolute devil," Cunningham wrote in the four-page, handwritten letter, excerpts of which were published Saturday on the San Diego Union-Tribune's Web site.
Wade has pleaded guilty to giving Cunningham more than $1 million in bribes and is awaiting sentencing. His lawyer said he would have no comment on the letter.
Marcus Stern, the Copley News Service reporter who broke the news last year of Cunningham's corruption, said he didn't take the former congressman's remarks personally.
"I just felt this was a guy in anguish," Stern told The Associated Press on Saturday.
Stern said he wrote to Cunningham in early September, requesting an interview. The Union-Tribune said Cunningham's letter was dated Sept. 15.
"I hurt more than anyone could imagine and without my faith your constant cruelty would destroy me," Cunningham wrote.
The Republican, who held seats on powerful House intelligence and appropriations committees, admitted last November that he accepted $2.4 million in bribes from defense contractors in exchange for government contracts and other favors.
Among other things, Wade said he gave Cunningham expensive rugs, furniture and jewelry, as well as cash, in exchange for support for his company's efforts to win defense contracts.
"I should have said no to the gifts. For that, I am truly sorry," Cunningham wrote.
Cunningham was sentenced in March to more than eight years in federal prison and is being housed at a low-security correctional center in North Carolina.
"Each time you print it hurts my family and now I have lost them along with everything I have worked for during my 64 years of life," Cunningham wrote. "I am human not an animal to keep whipping."
Just like to the build up to the invasion of Iraq. Counter views or information was always in the back pages.

I was driven here to these tubes and trucks because of what was NOT being said in the Los Angeles Times and on the news. Reality was being ignored so baldly it was painful.
I really wasn't interested in the Clinton scandal feeling that it should have been between Bill and Hillary alone.
But the Florida debacle was where I realized we had been hijacked.
If N Korea blows up a bomb, this would be the right opportunity to suspend elections until the emergency ends
Like we did when the other countries like China and USSR did nuke tests.
Oh wait, we didn't do that, did we.
But now that Bush is in charge we are no longer "the land of the free, home of the brave" because crap-in-their-pants types like Ruprick are scared.

And, to top it off, apparently House Intelligence Committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra has been in direct contact with the imprisoned former member of his committee, much to the alarm of Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), the committee's ranking member.
Some background: The Intel Committee is investigating what other misdeeds, if any, Duke may have committed while on the committee, focusing specifically on whether and to what extent he was able to use the committee, its staff, and its cloak of secrecy to dispense favors to his bribers, and perhaps others.
The report of the investigation has been held up by a dispute over whether to subpoena Cunningham to testify. Harman is demanding it; Hoeksta says, unconvincingly, that there's no point in that because Cunningham will merely take the 5th.
Given that background, Harman is livid that Hoekstra has had direct contact with Cunningham without her knowledge, reports the NYT. And in a letter to Hoekstra this week she demands that Hoekstra not visit Duke in prison! “I believe this would be highly inappropriate,” Harman writes.
Now there's a scene for you. The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee visiting his former colleague in federal prison. Then again, that's what retirement might look like for a lot of Republicans.
I am so glad the net is here and we can see all the varied voices.
Or scroll past, as the case may be.

...Gaps and inconsistencies in the public accounts include such basic matters as when House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) and his top aides first learned of concerns about Foley's relationships with male pages, and what they did about it. Also unclear is which GOP officials decided that only two members of the six-person House Page Board should confront the Florida lawmaker.
And accounts differ on whether the two board members knew the exact contents of e-mails Foley sent last year to a teenage boy in Louisiana. Those messages alarmed the boy and his parents and set into motion the events that eventually would uncover far more sexually graphic messages to other former pages, triggering Foley's abrupt resignation a week ago...
Various accounts agree that only two people -- Rep. John M. Shimkus (R-Ill.), chairman of the Page Board, and then-House Clerk Jeff Trandahl, also a board member -- confronted Foley in November 2005 about the messages. But none has definitively said who decided that only those two should handle the task.
A Sept. 30 "internal review" released by Hastert's office says that aides to Rep. Rodney Alexander (R-La.) alerted Hastert's aides to the e-mails. Among those dealing with the matter were Hastert's deputy chief of staff, Mike Stokke, and his in-house counsel, Ted Van Der Meid.
Stokke contacted Trandahl, who then contacted Shimkus. The review says Trandahl and Shimkus "immediately met" with Foley. But it does not say who chose the meeting's participants, and why other Page Board members -- including Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Rep. Dale E. Kildee (D-Mich.) and Sergeant-at-Arms Wilson "Bill" Livingood -- were never alerted.

Disgraced former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham lashed out at the reporter who uncovered the corruption scandal that sent him to prison, telling him in a letter that his "constant cruelty" had nearly destroyed Cunningham's life.
Well Duke has a bunch of time on his hands these days while he's IN PRISON!
"The vast majority of lobbying contacts and meals with White House officials documented in the report were with White House officials other than Ms. Ralston," Waxman said. "It is ludicrous for the White House to say it considers the review of the committee report 'complete' when it has not provided answers to any of the most important questions involving Mr. Mehlman and other senior White House officials."

Dear "Duke",
While our soldiers were begging for improved body armor and dying in the meantime, you were taking bribes from war profiteers. In a just world, you would have been convicted for treason and executed.

This Garrison Keillor column in Salon.com is exceptionally good, but I don't know if the link will work for non-subscribers. Here's one of the money quotes related to earlier comments on this thread:
It all began with the name Homeland Security. Somebody with a tin ear came up with that, maybe the pest exterminator from Texas, or Adm. Poinduster, because, friends, Americans don't refer to this as our homeland. It's an alien term, like Fatherland or Deutschland or Tomorrowland. Irving Berlin didn't write "God Bless Our Homeland." You never heard John Wayne say, "Men, we're going over that hill and we're going to kick those krauts out of there. And we're going to raise the flag of the homeland."
"Homeland" was a word you heard shrieked by a cruel man flicking his riding crop against his shiny black boots: "Zie homeland -- ve shall defend it at all costs, achwohl!" Americans live in Our Country, America, the nation of nations, the good old USA.

Yankee Story from The New York Times
by
TYLER KEPNER
By the end of the sixth, the Yankees were 1 for their last 37 with runners on base. It was a staggering stretch of futility at the worst possible time.
The Yankees, the mighty Yankees, had been felled by the oldest cliché of them all: Good pitching stops good hitting. Just as Jeter said. Maybe they should have seen it coming, but nobody did.
Brian Cashman, the general manager, watched from the stands and said he was stunned. This team, he believed, had that special something, that championship moxie he had seen before.
“At least I thought it did,” Cashman said. “They fought all year. You’ve got to continue to earn that every day, and we did not here in October. Turned out to be a hell of a regular-season team, no more.”
The Yankees are gone, ousted again from a tournament that once seemed to be their birthright. Now is the time for their new fall ritual, the one without ticker tape or heroes. The season of blame is upon them.
That be some good writing. (and a better subject)

We had put the word out earlier in the day to the Marines in Fallujah that we were looking for Bad Guy X, who was described as a midget. Little did I know that Fallujah was home to a small community of midgets, who banded together for support since they were considered as social outcasts. The Marines were anxious to get back to the midget colony to bring in the rest of the midget suspects, but I called off the search, figuring Bad Guy X was long gone on his short legs after seeing his companions rounded up by the giant infidels.

Foley withdraws from Fla. Senate race
Congressman tagged as gay cites family concerns
By LOU CHIBBARO JR.
Friday, September 12, 2003
http://www.sovo.com/2003/9-12/ne...ional/
foley.cfm
U.S. Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.), who has declined to confirm or deny news reports that he is gay, withdrew from the race for a seat in the U.S. Senate last week, saying he wants to devote more time to care for his father, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.
Foley was considered the leading contender for the Republican nomination for the Florida Senate seat now held by Democrat Bob Graham, who is running for president. He has a mostly pro-gay voting record in the House of Representatives, although he emphasized his conservative positions on other issues while campaigning this year for the Senate.
When news reports speculating about Foley’s sexual orientation surfaced in May, political observers wondered whether his prospects for winning a Republican primary dominated by conservative voters would be diminished. Foley responded by calling a news conference for only straight media outlets and refusing to discuss his sexual orientation.
But some political activists in the state said the so-called “gay issue” did not appear to have hurt Foley as of the time he withdrew from the race.
“He continued to break all records in the fund-raising department,” said Hastings Wyman, editor and publisher of the Southern Political Report, an authoritative newsletter on politics in Southern states.

Nope.
I can hit good during the regular season, especially when the game isn't close, or in, like, the third inning.
But in the play-offs, or a close game, late innings, I get this chokey feeling in my throat. My arms feel like they're made of lead or something. And my pee-pee feels like, I don't know, I gotta tinkle or something.
It's weird. But, waddayagonnado?

Distraught Republicans lambasting one another
Former Rep. Mark Foley's lewd behavior with teenage pages dropped like a match in a dry forest of conservative anger at Republicans.
More than the scandal itself, the anger is what could topple the House leadership and end 12 years of Republican control of the House.
For many conservatives, Republicans have assumed a startling resemblance to the Democrats they ousted from a 40-year reign in 1994.
"They have become that which they beheld," said Richard Viguerie, the father of conservative grassroots activism. "In the early 1990s, they talked about a culture of corruption by the Democrats and how they were abusing their power. Lo and behold, that seems to be what the Republicans have engaged in. It's very, very hard to tell conservatives that there really is a significant difference on most issues between this crowd and the Democrats"...
Foley's escapades fuel a long-simmering frustration that Republicans have betrayed their principles. The latest issue of Washington Monthly ran essays from seven lifelong Republicans arguing -- before the Foley scandal broke -- that it might be better if Republicans lost the House.
Titles ranged from "Bring on Pelosi" to "Let's Quit While We're Behind."
Former Florida Rep. Joe Scarborough, a member of the GOP class of 1994 and now an MSNBC television host, wrote that he would prefer "an assortment of Bourbon Street hookers running the Southern Baptist Convention than having this lot of Republicans controlling America's checkbook for the next two years."
Republicans may be divided over the war in Iraq, civil liberties, immigration, and the struggle between religious and economic conservatives. But one thing that unifies party members of all persuasions is a profound dismay at what they see as profligate spending by Congress under President Bush...
Hee hee hee!

"Humoresque" is a weird piece of work. Negulesco was really on a roll at the time he made it, but it doesn't fit in with the other movies at all. IIRC, it falls right in between "Nobody Lives Forever" and "Deep Valley," which are both terrific. I always found it pretty much unwatchable...
Yeah, conservatives are pissed off about W spending money, but no complaints about dead US soldiers or using the Constitution as toilet paper. Even when they're right they're wrong. Familiy values? Manson family, maybe.

The Republican heartland is Florida, where their recenty/current Senate hopefuls include both former Rep Foley and Katherine Harris. They're hoping to get Jeanine Pirro to move south so they can get a hat trick of sordid, nuts and I'm not sure what to call Pirro. But that menage a trois would make a great TV sitcom.

CAMP PENDLETON – Frustrated by the repeated release of a suspected terrorist in Hamdaniya, Iraq, a Camp Pendleton squad decided to enforce its own brand of justice on the town with an execution. So said Petty Officer 3rd Class Melson J. Bacos during riveting testimony at his court-martial Friday at Camp Pendleton. ...
Bacos testified that the squad was looking for an insurgent who had been captured and released three times. Hutchins, the squad leader, was “just mad that we kept letting him go and he was a known terrorist,” Bacos said.
The group approached a house where the insurgent was believed to be hiding, but when someone inside woke up, it instead went to another home and grabbed Awad.
Bacos said the squad members had intended to get someone else if they didn't capture the insurgent, then stage a firefight to make it appear they had found an Iraqi planting a roadside bomb.
After abducting Awad, Bacos said, Hutchins called in to a command center and reported that his squad had seen a man digging in a hole and wanted permission to fire at him.
Bacos said Hutchins fired the first shot. Later, Bacos said he himself fired an AK-47 rifle into the air so the spent casings would make it look like there was a firefight.

Foley Helped Bush Disenfranchise Florida Black Voters
When told about the sex antics of flamed out GOP star Mark Foley, a flushed and indignant President Bush professed shock and disgust to reporters in Stockton, California. Bush's shock and disgust was undoubtedly heartfelt given the magnitude of the sleaze and the mortal election year danger it posed to House Republican leadership, and Republican candidates.
But Bush was anything but indignant six years ago at Foley, and for good reason. Foley played a pivotal role in sealing Bush's much-disputed snatch of the White House. He helped shove thousands of dubious votes into the Bush column in his home district of Palm Beach County, Florida. And he enraged thousands of Democratic leaning black, Jewish, and elderly voters by passionately and publicly defending the manipulation, exclusion, and possible outright fraud of their votes.

And it has nothing to do with any real principle, conservative or otherwise: not the farm bill, not the trade bill, not the invasion of Iraq nor the fecklessness in Afghanistan, not the drug bill, not the earmarks: it's nothing but heartless abuse, in every single case, and without a hint of a suggestion of a moment of shame.
