I hate the New York Post, and usually I disagree with sour-faced bitch, but I agree with this column:

Fuck Bush and Haloscan!
President Bush finds the world around him increasingly "unacceptable."
In speeches, statements and news conferences this year, the president has repeatedly declared a range of problems "unacceptable," including rising health costs, immigrants who live outside the law, North Korea's claimed nuclear test, genocide in Sudan and Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Bush's decision to lay down blunt new markers about the things he deems intolerable comes at an odd time, a phase of his presidency in which all manner of circumstances are not bending to his will: national security setbacks in North Korea and Iraq, a Congress that has shrugged its shoulders at his top domestic initiatives, a favorability rating mired below 40 percent.
But a survey of transcripts from Bush's public remarks over the past seven years shows the president's worsening political predicament has actually stoked, rather than diminished, his desire to proclaim what he cannot abide. Some presidential scholars and psychologists describe the trend as a signpost of Bush's rising frustration with his declining influence.
In the first nine months of this year, Bush declared more than twice as many events or outcomes "unacceptable" or "not acceptable" as he did in all of 2005, and nearly four times as many as he did in 2004. He is, in fact, at a presidential career high in denouncing events he considers intolerable. They number 37 so far this year, as opposed to five in 2003, 18 in 2002 and 14 in 2001.
The chimp finds the world more and more unacceptable. The world returns the favor.
Fuck Bush with Haloscan.
Or vice versa.
One participant, who requested anonymity, said he was uncomfortable with the attention Kolbe paid to one of the former pages. He was "creeped out by it," he said, adding that there was a lot of "fawning, petting and touching" on the teenager's arms, shoulders and back by Kolbe.
NBC also interviewed the two former pages, who are now in their late 20s. One of them said that Kolbe was a gentleman and never acted in an improper fashion. He recalled that the pair spent time in Kolbe's house at one point — and briefly were alone with him on the trip — and that Kolbe always acted professionally and decently.
The other would not comment on Kolbe's behavior during the trip or characterize it in any way.
"I don't want to get into the details," he said. "I just don't want to get into this... because I might possibly be considered for a job in the administration."
I blame the Democrats.

Seconding ellroon!
Ooooh... lala.
I'm sure you've seen this earlier (via Americablog), but no he di'int....
E-mails from former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley to Gov. Jeb Bush reveal that Foley feared two years ago the White House was shunning him, and he called on the governor, President Bush's brother, to intercede.
Foley wrote to Gov. Bush on Sept. 29, 2004: "Have I done something to offend the White House ... I am always getting the shaft...
I want some gypsies, dammit
FUCK BUSH
Well, I was gonna go, but I can tell that heartburn is on the way, so let's get that resolved, first.

"I think I probably had my rights violated in many different ways as an American, as an artist, as a Christian, just as a human being."
Yes. Indeed, the other day here in Gitmo as a soldier showed me a picture, the first I'd seen of my son in two years, and assured me that the boy had been raped by a group of crusading Zionists, I couldn't help saying to myself you know, that Mel Gibson's rights are probably being violated, I just can't quite put my mutilated fingers on exactly how.
The White House is leaking those e-mails to prove they never did Foley any favors!
Ha ha ha ha!!!

Upon your silver shield
And in your rusty scabbard now

The sea has washed across your face

National Character Counts Week is an opportunity to recognize the depth of America's character and appreciate those who pass on our values to future generations.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 15 through October 21, 2006, as National Character Counts Week. I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, parents, students, and all Americans to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.
Democrats are far more associated with both homosexuality and sexual misbehavior than Republicans.

October 13, 2006
Category 5 Hurricane Heads for House GOP
Let's get the disclaimer out of the way: there are 25 days between now and the November 7 election and things could well change, making what follows obsolete.
That said, this is without question the worst political situation for the GOP since the Watergate disaster in 1974. I think a 30-seat gain today for Democrats is more likely to occur than a 15-seat gain, the minimum that would tip the majority. The chances of that number going higher are also strong, unless something occurs that fundamentally changes the dynamic of this election. This is what Republican strategists' nightmares look like.
Whether one looks at national or district-level polling data, or a survey like the new Democracy Corps survey that covered the 49 most vulnerable GOP districts, the conclusion remains the same: it is very ugly for Republicans.
On a conference call today, James Carville suggested that the Democratic Party should expand beyond just the top targeted races. He believes the party should help fund previously ignored Democratic challengers in second- and third-tier districts--the next 30 to 50 Republican-held seats--to fully capitalize on this environment and help those candidates maximize their chances of winning. Carville went as far as to suggest Democrats go to the bank and borrow $5 million. If I were them, I'd make it $10 million and put $500,000 each of these 20 districts.

"For Republicans, it is a time to defend every seat, no matter how secure those seats appear. If things don't change, GOP incumbents, who never even contemplated having a difficult race, may well lose this year.

Huge amount of independent expenditures today by the NRCC: $9.3 million.
Here are the biggest hits:
$424,948.80 against Democratic challenger Darcy Burner in the WA-8;
$571,073.60 against Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy in PA-8;
$657,276.80 against Democratic challenger Joe Sestak in PA-7;
$652,884.80 against Democratic challenger Lois Murphy in PA-6;

$436,881.00 against Democratic challenger Ron Klein in FL-22;
$417,933.39 against Democratic challenger Ken Lucas in KY-4;
A whopping 99% of today's expenditure was for negative advertising.

hmmm, so did WSJ screw up or has Rep. Charles Taylor [(R-NC)] just slammed the desk drawer shut on his dick?
----
A congressman in the thick of a tough re-election battle demanded Friday that The Wall Street Journal correct and retract statements in an article that said he slipped projects benefiting his own business interests into the federal budget, a claim he called libelous.
Rep. Charles Taylor said he would sue the newspaper if it does not meet his demands, made in a letter written by Asheville lawyer Robert B. Long Jr. and released by Taylor's office.
Taylor is demanding that the Journal retract a front-page article published Wednesday titled "Seat in Congress Helps Mr. Taylor Help His Business." It said he added "earmarks" to legislation to widen two highways near property he owns, to give millions to nonprofit groups run by his business partners and supporters, and to provide $3.8 million for a park in front of a downtown Asheville bank he owns.

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, you can't take part. And you've got to put your body upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop.
Of course, only until the city riots after winning the Series and fans leave most of downtown in cinders.
As a matter of fact, Detroit is seriously climbing better than ever -- that's what makes so bad the mindless substitution of sports for people. The other day Kei was visiting a relative who insists on living in a fucking hellhole neighborhood. Turn the corner and the Pope's fucking your wife, and it's the old one! what should she see but a brand-new bungalow, aluminum siding but nice design, she would be willing to move into. This in a part of town affectionately referred to as Africa. Kwame might be Kwame but the city is actually turning around and some of the real estate is literally unbelievbable. Young people in the burbs are actually talking about moving downtown, if they can afford it! Whether this continues after GM implodes is another question of course...

No, you don't get it. See, gays are bad, so you should support the anti-gay party even when they turn out to be secretly gay, because the alternative would be to support the party that tolerates homosexuality, and if that they succeed in mainstreaming the gay lifestyle, you'll have people who are openly gay instead of secretly gay, which would endanger our children.

Iraqi Colonel Who Bridged Sectarian Divide Is Killed
Officer Bridged Sectarian Divide
By Ellen Knickmeyer and Jonathan Finer
Washington Post Foreign Service
Saturday, October 14, 2006; Page A01
BAGHDAD, Oct. 13 -- Operating between the insurgent Sunni Arab suburbs of Baghdad and the Shiite militia-dominated south, Col. Salam al-Mamuri and his Scorpion commando team were a rarity among Iraqi security forces, American and Iraqi colleagues said: a police unit fighting on both sides of the country's sectarian divide.
On Friday, a bomb blew apart Mamuri and an aide at the Scorpions' headquarters in the southern city of Hilla. The attack ended the life of a broadly respected commander who had been one of the longest-serving and longest-surviving men in a cadre of Iraqi army veterans struggling to restore law and order after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

Bush Urges Nation To Be Quiet For A Minute While He Tries To Think
August 30, 2006 | Issue 42•35
WASHINGTON, DC—In a nationally televised address Monday, President Bush urged all citizens, regardless of race, creed, color, or political affiliation, "to quiet down for just one minute" so he could have "a chance to think."
"Every American has an inalienable right to free speech and self-expression," Bush said. "Nonetheless, I call upon the American people to hold off on it for, say, 60 seconds. Just long enough for me to get this all sorted out in my head."
"Please," Bush added.
While the president said achieving a unilateral peace and quiet "would not be easy," he hoped that citizens would respect his wish and work toward a temporary cease-talk so that he could can hear his own thoughts "for once."

Anyway, Atrios's Portastatic kick may be a bit my fault. I'll leave my defense at this: strong songwriting; wry, intelligent lyrics; an utter lack of pretension; a sense of humor; and frankly just my interest in the evolving ideas of one of the few musicians in the generation I find myself in who actually seems to be able to, well, evolve. Gives me hope.
Perhaps that suffices.
Phil, if you managed to see a Black Flag gig (not that I believe you actually did), it was only because bands like The Dictators and venues like CBGBs pioneered the whole scene. So if you want to be an asshole, go ahead, but you obviously missed the whole point of punk, it was never about being an asshole.
I bet you were the kind of guy who liked to start fights at gigs. That's what killed the scene. The only guy who managed to hang on was Hilly, and now he's dying of heart disease and closing shop due to greedy landlords raising his rent 400%.
And you say music changes, and we should move on, like that was a good thing.

Oh, they would have always had Aryan Nation or KKK for companionship.
Hey charlie, they all suck. What are you a failed musician?
I wonder what kind of a mental collapse they'd suffer if there had been no Clinton to make their lives meaningful.
In Limpbaugh's case he was in large part responsible for creating the irrational Clinton hatred in the first place.
you obviously missed the whole point of punk, it was never about being an asshole.
A whole fuck of a lot of people I've known in the whole "scene" have thus apparently really, really, really missed the fucking point.
Fuck.
From BoingBoing, what would happen if humans disappeared right now.
I would be able to get a lot of free booze...
In Limpbaugh's case he was in large part responsible for creating the irrational Clinton hatred in the first place.
He has done a lot of damage by lying to people and by making hate fashionable.
Spoken like someone who wasn't even born when Henry Rollins first heard "Sugar, Sugar" and realized he wanted to be in a band.
I bet you were never in the pit for Crucial Youth! Where were you on the Youth Blimp!
I'm listening to some new Varttina cds. The words are fairly risque. I don't know if the English translations make that clear.
Maybe we can have a listening session and you can translate through mime...?
A whole fuck of a lot of people I've known in the whole "scene" have thus apparently really, really, really missed the fucking point.
Phil, if you managed to see a Black Flag gig (not that I believe you actually did), it was only because bands like The Dictators and venues like CBGBs pioneered the whole scene. So if you want to be an asshole, go ahead, but you obviously missed the whole point of punk, it was never about being an asshole.
What a fucking moron you are. If you want to know what punk wasn't about, it wasn't about staying in a goddamn rut, clinging to the past, and worshipping bands like some kind of sadsack comic-book collector. It wasn't about being a bitter jerkoff who couldn't adapt to the times, and sat around getting weepy about how music died with Buddy Holly or Jimi Hendrix or Sid Vicious, or whomever. Not to me it wasn't, anyway.
I bet you were the kind of guy who liked to start fights at gigs. That's what killed the scene.
What kind of a demented walking cliche are you? What scene? There were dozens if not hundreds of scenes. And scenes die, whether they're killed or not.
And no, I didn't start fights at clubs. Sheesh.
And you say music changes, and we should move on, like that was a good thing.
It's a real thing. You don't like it, that's your problem. But stop trying to pretend that liking the goddamn Dictators is a moral obligation for everyone else, just because your personality's too pinched and rigid to grow.
Henry Rollins is God. And he told me to kill anybody who says so.
good debate on cspan-Dewino/Sherwood
Maybe we can have a listening session and you can translate through mime...?
Where's the mime tube on the internets?
Varttina has taken some folk songs which I didn't know existed or they have transposed the sexes in the song. In any case, the woman is right now singing about how she's going to take the old woman's son whether the mother wants or not, and how he won't go back home a virgin. And stuff like that.
I have seen Manitoba's Wild Kingdom... "Handsome Dick Manitoba" is unquestionably an admirable stage name.
I bet you were never in the pit for Crucial Youth! Where were you on the Youth Blimp!

That's a very odd way to refer to having sex with Hastert.
Someone talking about me?
huh, turns out mike dewine is a corrupt, lying scumbag. who would of thought? and is there any known correlation between excessive beady-eyed blinking and ball-face lying?

I'm going to start auditing a class in Finnish...
It gets better. Now she's boasting she got laid in a feather bed and didn't have to pay for it, either.
Rollins IS A LIAR. He said so himself.
On Friday, a bomb blew apart Mamuri and an aide at the Scorpions' headquarters in the southern city of Hilla. The attack ended the life of a broadly respected commander who had been one of the longest-serving and longest-surviving men in a cadre of Iraqi army veterans struggling to restore law and order after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.

I did go through a period of thinking hardcore was so stupid I thought I'd die if forced to admit to ever having bought a ticket for Sick of It All. Now, though... god, that shit was just so utterly hilarious. A great American comic novel could easily be written about one of the "scenes."
What about men's rights?
Yours is bent? Have you been to a penal orthodontist? The braces are uncomfortable, and they tend to collect things like spinach. But it is worth it.
Shorter blogfight:
"What I like rules. What you like sucks. What I believe rules. What you believe sucks. What I do rules. What you do sucks. I rule. You suck."
Repeat until the other side gives in or goes away, or until everybody else says "Fuck this shit" and goes away.
Thers, please, don't make another scene...
The Wall Street Journal correct and retract statements in an article that said he slipped projects benefiting his own business interests into the federal budget, a claim he called libelous.
Maybe this is a new trend. Gee, truth!!!
I'm no fan of any of the rethugs, but if applied fairly to both sides it might even make for good politic.
In todays world? Sigh.

Rollins is kind of an interesting case. I've liked him more and more in interviews & such over the last several years -- he's clearly a bright guy and can be pretty funny, and he hates Bush. But goddamn I can't listen to his damn music. Hasn't progressed since 1993.

I did go through a period of thinking hardcore was so stupid I thought I'd die if forced to admit to ever having bought a ticket for Sick of It All.
It was pretty lame, and none of the bands I really liked (e.g., X, Flipper) really fit that mold. And the people were pretty awful, too. But other than that...it was great!

Deep in denial, are we? So fortunate that lurker desires to put his lips at your service.

My good friend Mike actually knew Sid and Nancy personally. He kept his distance from them, though. He described them as "The most disgusting people in the world."
History tells the rest. It was a fun time for most involved, but a few chairs flew around here and there. A few of the artists took things too seriously, and died young. That also happened to Morrison, Joplin, Hendricks, and others in an earlier time.
Not all Punks were violent. Some were actually entertainers. It's fun to reminisce. Today's music is drab to me personally by comparison, but I fault no one for liking it. We're all different, it's about diversity.

Hardly any punks were violent, in my experience. Maybe I just got lucky, as the JoBoxers would say.
Today's music is drab to me personally by comparison, but I fault no one for liking it.
A lot of it's drab to me, too, but I'm not a wide-eyed teenager in the big city. Still, I find plenty of new music I like. Nothing that offers quite as much visceral excitement...but I suspect that has more to do with me being in my early forties than with today's bands.

When I look at the big picture regarding the dynamics of the coming election, I feel that peoples' choices will certainly have to do with Katrina, their pocketbooks, CEO pocketbooks, foleygate, massive repug immorality, massive repug hypocrisy, unbridled criminal repug activity, homeland and worldwide insecurity, the whirlpool of a man made tragedy called Iraq.....
But mostly their choices will have to do with bush, who most people now regard as the out of control weasel we Atriots have always known him to be and as the symbol of all that's gone wrong.
The weird thing about the Repubs defending their kooky theory about Nancy Pelosi and George Soros being behind Masturgate, is the way they echo Criswell at the end Plan 9-- "Can you prove it didn't happen?!"

I'm only into my 4th decade, so bits and pieces are only now starting to show wear and tear.
Sorry to hear that your body and soul hurt so.
I remember an interview in the late 80's with Frank Zappa, where he was asked what he wanted for his kids. "To not grow up under another Republican administration" was his reply. He lived long enough to see the end of Bush I.
Such is my fervent wish for my nephews, niece, grand-nephew, all the children and adults and animals and trees and...well...you get the picture.
I, too, am infected with cynicism. I do not want the finals decades of my life to be like it was for the older generation on my mother's side: Heartfelt New Dealers seeing the robber baron chickens come home to roost.
If I can just hold on long enough to hear something like "disgraced former President Bush is battling extradition orders--Kissinger and James Baker have no comment."
Some of the parody trolls get so close to the original that it's hard to tell. But since the Republican message is so loopy to begin with it's just a matter of doing an impression, recreation with careful choice. The real masters of the Gaga school are the real trolls.
Hey Olvlzl if you are on the West coast are you watching Gregory on Leno?
When Blair finally went honest about things like mass grave numbers, you got the feeling perhaps the worm turned...

WHat the trolls really want to know is why the homosexuals keep sucking their dicks?
Isn't that right, mike?(/lowercase)
David Gregory of NBC is on and it is really discusting. What gets me is just how embedded in Republican Talking points his comments are.
Leno of course is a huge tool. In his questions he was always approaching it from the Republican's side, Regarding Midterm elections, "Just how bad will it be?" The unsaid phrase "For us."
As it It's a bad thing for republican's to lose. And then they did a bit about "The economy is great and unemployment is down, why are Bush's number so low?"
gregory said, It's Iraq and then went on to say it's all about stay the course or cut and run. And how James Baker might help save the day by giving Bush some way out.
I really thought I was going to vomit.
These people are still SOOOO in the bag with Bush. Constantly making excuses for him and to see it come from Gregory who actually has asked Bush some tough questions.
TV celebrity journalism.
Gag.
Must be nice, Barry.
I'm stuck in Podunk.
Dilemma settled, I'm going to Amsterdam.
Must be nice, Barry.

Hey, at least you know the exchange rate.
And pizza isn't usually a huge surprise.
Leno of course is a huge tool.
You caught that, too. If Gregory had been a true journalist, his comeback would have been "bad for whom, Jay?"
If I can just hold on long enough to hear something like "disgraced former President Bush is battling extradition orders--Kissinger and James Baker have no comment."
That would be sweet.
I'm totally with you on this. And I've gotten so cyncial too. I've got a wingnut brother who has a couple of kids. One is prime fightin' age. He's all gung ho for the war, but not with his kids.
His mouth is writing checks that his kids won't have to cash.
I'll take his son to Canada if it comes to it. But it won't. The second that the "D" word comes up he should change his tune. But by then it might be too late.
Well, I'm off to noodle some tunes, and I leave you with:
"My friend, we cannot keep this a secret any longer. Let us punish the guilty. Let us reward the innocent. My friend, can your heart stand the shocking facts of grave robbers from outer space?"
-- Criswell, Plan 9 from Outer Space
[For some reason I thought that was germane...it is quite late for me.]
Y'all take care of your good selves.
"You got the hard cough of a chain smoker...
but you're at the artic circle playing strip poker...and it's getting colder and colder, every time you lose...Heh-heh..are you following? heh-heh so go ahead and make your next bold move, so tell us what's the next thing we're gonna need to prove, to ourselves?"
Nice work Ani.
If I can just hold on long enough to hear something like "disgraced former President Bush is battling extradition orders--Kissinger and James Baker have no comment."
It's gonna be from Paraguay.

Yeah. I'm all for funny. I love the Daily show, but they had clips of Gregory dancing and the president "flirting" with him. PUHLEZE. Spare me.
This president is pissing away Uncle Smoke's and my nephews and nieces future. Thousands are dying because of this president, do you think maybe we could get skip the Goofy journalist dancing just this once? Thanks.

In the same vein, earlier tonight on Washington Week on PBS, Ifil and her gang kept asking each other what the repugs could possibly do to defeat all of the ills befalling them as well as the dems in Nov. The repugs prevailing seems to be all they think about.
It's gonna be from Paraguay.

[Okay, now I've got to split.]
Bobby: Interesting. The question is, did they do the same, "How can we help the democrats" when they were on the road to losing power?
They might have, but I was watching the PBS episode on Status Anxiety and one of the things they mentioned was how the rulers reinforce subtly what is and isn't important and right.
PBS keeps supporting the idea that "The grown ups are in charge" even though they are bankrupting us, getting our soliders killed and refusing to change their mind in the face of overwhelming evidence that they should for the good of the country." Hardly the acts of grownups.
[Okay, now I've got to split.]

Leno was risking a hernia steering Gregory away from anything controversial, while my wife, an editor of the local newspaper, blew a gasket on Daves supposed 'objectivity'.
The east is so lovely this time of year.
Leno already said he's a liberal.

Good late evening/early morning, Sarah and Unka Smokes. Nice to see your insightful commments at such a slow time of the "day" when the thread is not moving so fast as to obscure your posts.
Sleep well, SD.
P&T...not much insight from me. Just being present is all. For roll call
Good morning to you.
If I vanish, it's because my insomnia has finally been conquered. I have g'dtr taking promotion test for Tae Kwan Do blue belt tomorrow...oops...THIS morning at 10 a.m., so must away soon and even then I will have stayed up WAAAYYY too late!!
Remember the gal who joined the Army because her daughter was injured in Iraq? It was a lie.
An Ohio soldier who claimed she joined the Army after her daughter was hurt in Iraq - an inspiring tale that was the subject of news accounts - made up the story, the Army confirmed Friday...a public affairs representative at the school on Redstone, where Smith was training to dismantle explosives, originally learned of Smith's story while talking with other soldiers.
An Army press agent spread the lie to the media. Why am I not surprised?
We've NEVER had a troll in here as stupid as Bush and most Republicans.
You can't even make the shit up if you try.
All right, storm's passed and the kid needs to be put to bed.
G'night!
Sarah, your comments seem insightful nevertheless. My own comment is that despite the seeming perfection I'm experiencing here tonight, it is marred by the mess in front of us, which at this point I'm not certain even Clinton can fix.
Still, the stars shine wildly bright tonight here in the central Pacific, with a mild low 70's breeze exchanging the air in the house every two minutes, no dogs barking, wine on the desk, bills paid, and nothing to rush this late evening. Midnight is well over an hour off, no reason to rush to bed.
Morning
The Party has been infiltrated by wreckers and terrorist sympathizers? When do the show trials start?
. . . right.

The Wretched Years
By William Rivers Pitt
< t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Friday 13 October 2006
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.
- Maya Angelou
George W. Bush gave a press conference this past Wednesday in an attempt to snatch back the conversation from North Korea's nukes and Mark Foley's instant messages. A reporter from CNN asked him about the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health report that puts the civilian death toll in Iraq at 655,000. "I am, you know, amazed that this is a society which so wants to be free that they're willing to - you know, that there's a level of violence that they tolerate," he responded.
Yes. That's what he said.
This is, to a degree, not terribly surprising. Mr. Bush has a penchant for casually saying the most abominable things imaginable without blinking. Recall, if you will, the days following the attacks of September 11th. A pall of poison smoke still hung low over New York City. Americans were suddenly living in fear of blue skies and airplanes. The as-yet-unsolved anthrax attacks on Congress and the media had us all collecting our mail with oven mitts while holding our breath.
On October 4th, 2001, less than a month after the attacks, Mr. Bush said, "We need to counter the shock wave of the evildoer by having individual rate cuts accelerated and by thinking about tax rebates."
Yes. That's what he said.
These two statements serve as bookends for the wretched years we have endured. The worst attack in American history is used to pimp a plan for tax cuts, and the unimaginable slaughter of Iraqi civilians is a platform for praising the survivors of the carnage because the are so darned good at tolerating it.
What will history have to say about these times? History, it has often been said, is written by the victors, but who really wins anything after all this? If the most delectable left-wing fantasies come true - the Democrats take Congress in November, Bush and his cronies are impeached by a fire-breathing Conyers Judiciary Committee - little will be left to win.
People will still be dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. New Orleans will still be destroyed. The environment will still be poisoned. Laws that all but eviscerate the Bill of Rights will still be on the books. The same unimaginably wealthy industrialists will still have the same clout. The news media will still be controlled by people whose interests lie far afield from telling us the truth.
Much of this can be undone or contained, to be sure, except for all the death. The laws can be rolled back. Sensible policies can be applied to the wars we are losing. New Orleans can be rebuilt. The media can be re-regulated. With a proper amount of effort and attention, most of the damage that has been done can be fixed. Except for all the death.
Morning Moonbats.
Remember when we used to ask what KKKarl had on the reps that made them vote in lockstep. We would rhetorically ask if he had pictures of so and so with little boys. Turns out it wasn't so far fetched at all.
The repugs prevailing seems to be all they think about.
Bobby St. Chomsky
Referencing the press's reaction to the repuke implosion.
Well sure. They've been so mean to the dems for so long, they are scared shitless of being shut out and having liberal media persons take their places. No more cocktail wieinies.
The repukes are rolling out the attack ads.
I saw one against my boy Patrick Murphy. It was disgusting. The announcer all but snarled his name. Then I caught a few minutes of Tweety and he played over and over Patrick's reply about whether he would or would not have voted for the Iraq war. While Patrick was trying to answer, Tweety kept interrupting. They have definitely targeting our boy.
Ugh. The bodies of 7 decapitated construction workers were found in the streets of Baghdad this morning. They were abducted Thursday in retailiation for 3 others who had been abducted Wednesday and burnt to death.
Bush is in so far over his head it's pathetic. If that kind of thing happened here, we would freak the fuck out.
W is becoming quite irrelevant. The more they trot him out, the worse it gets. You'd think they would figure this out.
Morning. Naaa. Attack and whine.... all they have.
I'm keeping my mouf shut until November. A friend in Ohio just told me Blackwell has to decide if his opponent for Gov in Ohio gets to run against him or not. Some group (obviously Repuke) filed the petition with 3 days left).
Sounds about right doesn't it?
A very early good morning to everybody
Mr. Ney said he was an alcoholic and was seeking treatment at an outpatient medical center. Asked by Judge Huvelle on Friday whether he was currently under any medical treatment, he replied, “Right now, alcohol, last 30 days.”
His lawyers said Friday that they would ask that he be placed in a prison with an alcoholism treatment program.
it appears, that Ney's lawyers are setting up the judge for an early Ney trip to 'Club Fed'...In the federal prison system, white-collar criminals with no prior record are typically sent to minimum-security facilities known as prison camps.
"That's what's commonly referred to as Club Fed , "It's like a college dormitory without bars."
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061...DMzBHNlYwM3MDM-
buzzflash reports yahoo reports GOP "UNABLE" to take delay from ballot. They had a clear deadline and it was even clear before the deadline that delay didnt intend to be on the ballot again. As I remember the deadline was set 5 days after delay declared he wouldnt run and 2 weeks later, after the deadline eneded the gop went to court to protest the deadline. I dont get the word inability in this context too much. This was willful ineptitude.
Morning all.
Just Asking to Be Caught, Thief Solves Joblessness
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 12 (AP) — A man who could not find steady work came up with a plan to make it through the next few years until he could collect Social Security: He robbed a bank, handed the money to a guard and waited for the police.
On Wednesday, the man, Timothy J. Bowers, told a judge that a three-year prison sentence would suit him, and the judge obliged.
“At my age, the jobs available to me are minimum-wage jobs,” Mr. Bowers, who will turn 63 in a few weeks, told the judge, Angela White. “There is age discrimination out there.”
Judge White told him: “It’s unfortunate you feel this is the only way to deal with the situation.”
Mr. Bowers said he had been able to find only odd jobs after the drug wholesaler for which he made deliveries closed in 2003. He walked to a bank and handed a teller a note demanding cash in an envelope. The teller gave him four $20 bills and pushed a silent alarm.
Mr. Bowers handed the money to a security guard standing in the lobby and told him it was his day to be a hero.
He pleaded guilty to robbery, and a court-ordered psychological exam found him competent.
The Columbus Dispatch reported that before the robbery, Mr. Bowers had handed his landlady the keys to his apartment, his mailbox and the laundry room and told her he would probably not be back.
Moe, that may be one of the most telling stories about the direction this country has taken in the news today.
I was gonna say saddest, but heck when we're talking about 600,000 dead Iraqis...
Looks like I can't hang around this morning. Just too much to do. I'll see ya'all tomorrow.
Moe, that may be one of the most telling stories about the direction this country has taken in the news today.
I seem to recall going about 10 years back there was another guy from Ohio, in his 70's, who stuck up a 7-11 and got caught. If I remember, when he went to court it turned out he had all sorts of medical problems, and was suppose to have told the judge that he wanted to go to jail so the state could pay for his treatment.
Like I said, I seem to recall this happening, but don't have a link on the story. But, considering how things in this country are, it wouldn't surprise me that it happened.
