What the hell do they believe in?
Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. Goodnight.
Yep, this is the story that had smoke coming out of my ears last night.
I'm still livid. But being angry isn't enough--we have got to stop these assholes.

My personal low point for the Bush presidency--the era, not the man himself--would have to be the torture vote, when Democrats (the Lieberman torture caucus) and putatively decent (according to the MSM) Republicans caved into to the miserable Constitution-hating little shit long after even the most indulgent observer could say something about "well given the political climate of the country...."

You know, I've said this before, but the truth is that America actually is its laws. It is the constitution and our system of laws that has brought so many people to this country. Not the flag, not the president, not the army, not patriotism, not the 4th of July - it was always the RULE OF LAW.
So, simply, theses people hate America and are trying to destroy it.

OT: Exploding meters, parking vigilantes and a suspicious silence in a sleepy Sussex town
The respectable looking lady at the tea shop in the Sussex market town of Lewes was an unlikely advocate of urban terrorism. "Everyone I know is secretly pleased about the attacks. No one would mind if every last one was blown to pieces," she confided in a hushed tone.
"If I knew who was carrying out the explosions I wouldn't tell the police. Good luck to them, I say," she added.
So what is the object of such passion and hatred in a town usually associated with literature, music, antiques, and good taste? It is the parking meter.
Since new parking restrictions were introduced - some say imposed - in Lewes in September 2004, there has been a remarkable backlash in which a group of vigilantes and vandals have been blowing up the newly installed meters.
So far there have been more than 200 attacks in which 35 of the town's 96 meters have been written off, while repairs have been needed on a further 170 machines at a total cost of £300,000. The covert bombers have used a variety of devices ranging from simple bangers and powerful crow scarers, to a mix of firework explosives that have scrambled the innards of the meters.
NTodd, if you had that memorized, I tip my cap in your direction.

Penny Dreadful was a term applied to nineteenth century English fiction publications, usually lurid serial stories appearing in parts over a number of weeks, each part costing a penny. The term, however, soon came to encompass a variety of publications that featured cheap sensational fiction, such as story papers and booklet “libraries.” The Penny Dreadfuls were printed on cheap pulp paper and were aimed primarily at teenage boys from the working class, though there is some evidence that many girls read them as well.

Why can't the GOP take Bush, their God/king and shut up hell up, since they are clearly in the minority anyway, and this is democracy. The GOP should take the boy king and go find themselves an island, or different planet called their new creed of Bush law, Bush rules, nothing else matters.

Exactly, America (the United States, but it doesn't scan as well) is not a place but an idea, and that idea is the Constitution. If you propose laws that violate the letter and/or spirit of the Constitution, you are anti-American.

'The jihad now is against the Shias, not the Americans'
As 20,000 more US troops head for Iraq, Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, the only correspondent reporting regularly from behind the country's sectarian battle lines, reveals how the Sunni insurgency has changed
One morning a few weeks ago I sat in a car talking to Rami, a thick-necked former Republican Guard commando who now procures arms for his fellow Sunni insurgents.
Rami was explaining how the insurgency had changed since the first heady days after the US invasion. "I used to attack the Americans when that was the jihad. Now there is no jihad. Go around and see in Adhamiya [the notorious Sunni insurgent area] - all the commanders are sitting sipping coffee; it's only the young kids that are fighting now, and they are not fighting Americans any more, they are just killing Shia. There are kids carrying two guns each and they roam the streets looking for their prey. They will kill for anything, for a gun, for a car and all can be dressed up as jihad."
Make a list of the partners at Patton Boggs. Keep it.
Tena - last week it felt like I was stabbing myself in the head every time I had to blow my nose, which was continuously. It gets better, if you have the same thing. Next it settles in your chest. 
We should demand a list of any lawyer defending a corrupt republican. What sort of patriot defends someone who steals from America? Boycott!
I can't agree with the motives of the wingers trying to "out" the lawyers but I hate trying to shut down FOIA requests. Those lawyers should be proud of the work they are doing. Full legal representation is a hallmark of the America _I_ live in.
I never cottoned to the gratuituous swipe at Susan Sontag in that Credo speech. Also thought that the idea that some washed up ballplayer had ever heard of Sontag was hilarious. Wasn't his first name Crash or something in that movie?

Designer sale brings financial blessing to Vatican shoppers
Crowds have been flocking to the Vatican this week, not to get a papal blessing or see the Sistine Chapel, but to snap up bargains at the winter sale at the Holy See's department store.
As Rome's post-Christmas sale season gets under way the Vatican store is offering some of the biggest savings in town on televisions, jewellery, designer handbags and clothing. But it is also the most exclusive event - it helps to know a cardinal to get in.
The three-floor emporium inside the Vatican is officially open only to Vatican staff, clergy and diplomats, but crafty Romans able to borrow a membership card from a friendly priest or Vatican cleaner are also taking advantage of the 20% to 40% discounts on the low tax-free prices offered all year round.
Italian daily Il Giornale said bargains included a leather handbag by Italian firm Coccinelle for £71, compared with £119 in shops a stone's throw away. Ralph Lauren shirts are being snapped up for £42, down from £79.
This means war!! - As Groucho would say.
We need to organize an all out effort to have Charles D. Stimson fired for this incredible assault on the essential, basic rights of defendants.

Here's my take on it - Cheney is the one who has pushed the Unitary Executive idea the hardest. He's the one who wants a confrontation with Congress.
And it will probably come to that.
On December 4, General John Abizaid, the commander of US forces from the Middle East through Afghanistan, arrived in Addis Ababa to meet the Ethiopian prime minister, Meles Zenawi. Officially, the trip was a courtesy call to an ally. Three weeks later, however, Ethiopian forces crossed into Somalia in a war on its Islamist rulers, and this week the US launched air strikes against suspected al-Qaida operatives believed to be hiding among the fleeing Islamist fighters.
"The meeting was just the final handshake," said a former intelligence officer familiar with the region.
Washington and Addis Ababa may deny it, but the air strikes this week exposed close intelligence and military cooperation between Ethiopia and America, fuelled by mutual concern about the rise of Islamists in the chaos of Somalia.
Yesterday, the Washington Post reported that US military personnel entered southern Somalia this week to verify who was killed in Monday's air strike. It was the first known instance of US boots on the ground in Somalia since the Black Hawk Down catastrophe, when 18 US soldiers were killed by Somali militiamen, the paper claimed.

In addition, Kagen reportedly told the activists he held the door to a White House men's room closed when he was alone with Rove.
"You're in the White House and think you're safe, huh?'' Kagen was said to have told Rove. "You recognize me? My name's Dr. Multimillionaire and I kicked your ---.''
Rove responded by offering Kagen his congratulations, according to a story published last week in The Scene, a monthly alternative publication that circulates in the Fox Valley between Green Bay and Oshkosh.

One last point ...
The comments on the Kagen piece are all wingnuts so far, like this one:
Congrats Wisconsin. You elected a rude, disrespectful rep who sure got Vice President Cheney and Pres. Bush told! That's what we need in Washington; rude, arrogant, spiteful representatives who have no respect for authority. I'm sure he was pandering to those who think peace at any cost is the answer. What a guy!
There will NEVER be a peace at any cost. Peaceniks will cost us our very freedom HERE in America. Do you really think if we pull out of Iraq now, that we can rest? NO! We will then have no choice but to fight them in NY, in Philadelphia and yes, in Appleton. You can yell PEACE to them as loudly as you can while they reload the next bomb. Then they will blow you away. They don't care if you want peace or not, Democrat or Republican. These are dangerous people who only understand power. So, when we pull out of Iraq, don't be surprised when you hear of a mall blowing up in Wisconsin. Then what would you suggest? Would peace at any cost mean you must convert to Islam to live? I don't think Patrick Henry had that in mind. You should seriously think about your new congressman and the implications he presents as he represents you in Washington.
One observation I got from the Black Hawk Down incident and the subsequent book and movie:
No one in command on the ground in the actual raid had a fucking map. They relied on information about location and route on garbled and hard to understand information relayed to them from headquarters.
And this one:
Steve,
You are truly my hero. All of my buddies here in the eighth grade at Barbera Boxer grade school think you are one bad boy. My parents however think you are just a mouthy wimp. Hey, what do adults know about being a man and acting like an adult. Keep it up, you'll go far!

a commenter fed Joe Klein a good point, which Klein of course manages to mangle and misunderstand. Apparently, violence and casualty rates have gone down in late winter/early spring every year.

Stupidest comment yet on the Boxer-Rice scandal"
-- in response to comments Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) made to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during Senate hearings on President Bush's Iraq troop increase that "[Rice is] not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family" -- Rush Limbaugh said: "Here you have a rich white chick with a huge, big mouth, trying to lynch this -- an African-American woman -- right before Martin Luther King Day, hitting below the ovaries here." Additionally, Limbaugh called the exchange "a great example of the anger and arrogance of [the Democrats]," and claimed that the "implosion" of the Democratic Party is happening "sooner" than he anticipated."

to be clear, i don't think they believe that they'll be fighting - just that real soldiers must continue to give their lives to keep the scary brown men from invading appleton.
Noticed numbers of comments on Hillary's prez aspirations on thread below. I will not support Hillary in the primaries. However, its important to understand what motivates Hillary.
Hillary's past history is a very liberal one, far to the left of her husband. The RW has established the meme that she is an unrepentant leftist. In preparing herself for a presidential run the past 6 years, Hillary has spent her time trying to recast herself as a centrist.
It is necessary for her to do this to have a shot at winning the presidency. Being from NY, which the rest of the country considers a liberal bastion, also reinforces this leftist image she is trying to combat.
The same is true for Obama regarding casting an image of moderation. As a black Democratic candidate, in order to win, he has to run away from the image of a black centered candidate that would radically increase social programs & a liberal agenda.
Their necessary positioning to have a chance to win makes me unable to support either candidate in the primaries. This is not to say they are not truly liberal; I believe both are. But politics has become a game & they are playing their designated roles.

I wrote to the Dallas paper about that the other day. They had a headline on the president's speech story as follows:
Dems warned on Iraq
I didn't bother to deconstruct their idiot idea about a warning, except to tell them there is nothing the executive can do to the Congressional Democrats.
Instead I pointed out that they never have abbreviated Republican in a headline. And I also told them that it is the Democratic Party, not the Democrat Party unless they are willing to refer to the other party as the Republic Party.
I'm getting mighty sick of this bullshit.

Ok, did'nt 43 just ask for ANOTHER 100 billion a few weeks ago? Even IF they got that money, how is it that they would have enough left over to fund that many more troops? Something does not compute.
It's not like they need to go asking for their allowance every week. That 100B will last a month or so. Then Bush can try to present a fait accomplis: look, they're alreay there, and you wanna support the troops, right?
Randi Rhodes was busy pushing the idea that the Bush speech Wednesday night wasn't live but taped, based on some technical problem right at the beginning of the speech. (And remember all that talk about how he was "practicing" his speech for two days?)
Anyway, I don't know what technology would be involved in using a taped feed vs. something live. Does anyone know if someone outside could tell the difference? Frankly, I thought Randi was a little over the top until I read this, which says still photographers, always welcome in the past, couldn't shoot pictures after the speech.
Just because paranoia runs deep doesn't mean it isn't justified.
Wires Reject Handout Photo Of Bush Speech
January 11, 2007
By Daryl Lang
The White House broke with tradition Wednesday night and refused to let photojournalists shoot still pictures of the president at the podium after his prime-time address on the Iraq war.
As a result, newspapers and wire services had little choice but to run low-quality frame grabs from the video of the speech. An official handout photo from the White House, which most news outlets rejected, was the only other option. Caught in a bind on deadline, some newspapers ran the official White House photo with no disclosure that it was provided by the government.
Two major wire services, the Associated Press and Reuters, refused to accept the handout photo. They sent their members notices explaining that frame grabs from the White House video pool would be their only photo coverage of the speech.
if you feel at all nauseous do not turn on cnn right now. it is disgusting.

MY TEEBEE IS BROKEN...AND EVERYTHING IS GREEN AND WHITE
If you haven't seen it, Greenwald has an update to his Dreher post in a link to Barbara O'Brien. She discusses the reasons that many of Dreher's contemporaries have become conservatives (brainwashing) and love to bash liberals without actually understanding what it means to be a liberal. She writes:
Because they’re too young to remember When Things Were Different, they don’t recognize that the way mass media has handled politics for the past thirty or so years is abnormal. What passes for our national political discourse — as presented on radio, television, and much print media — is scripted in right-wing think tanks and media paid for by the likes of Joseph Coors, Richard Mellon Scaife, and more recently by Sun Myung Moon. What looks like “debate” is just puppet theater, presented to manipulate public opinion in favor of the Right.
In this puppet theater “liberals” (booo! hisss!) are the craven, cowardly, and possibly demented villains, and “conservatives” are the noble heroes who come to the rescue of the virtuous maid America. Any American under the age of 40 has had this narrative pounded into his head his entire life. Rare is the individual born after the Baby Boom who has any clue what “liberalism” really is. Ask, and they’ll tell you that liberals are people who “believe in” raising taxes and spending money on big entitlement programs, which of course is bad.

Excuse me while I go hack up a lung.
from TPM:
The suggestion by Charles D. Stimson, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs, that corporations should consider boycotting law firms who are doing pro bono work representing detainees at Gitmo, came after he received a FOIA request from conservative radio host and former Nixon groupie Monica Crowley seeking a list of all the lawyers and law firms representing detainees.

I get the bit about "Democrat" Party being used as a pejorative-- although I happened to click through a NJ PBS station a while ago and heard a newly-elected lesbian Democratic freeholder using "Democrat politician" during her interview-- as if she hadn't been clued in that it's a no... whoops, Tena, I mean that it's unacceptable.
So it's sort of like when "Negro" became wrong and "black" became right; not everybody catches up instantly.
As far as "Dem" goes-- if it is truly used in a slighting way, so be it. But I use it because it's too much of a pain in the ass to type out "Democrat" each and every time. And I'd be interested to hear from people who've worked in the newspaper biz, because generally, headlines have used "Dem" or "GOP" for space's sake, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe this has changed to the point that "Dem" is used as a sign of contempt-- I don't read newspapers enough to pick up on that myself.

I had the same thought-- maybe Nixon had an entire shadow Executive Branch meeting in his basement, the way some people have complex electric train setups with little villages and working streetlights and such.
I'm still not sure that Nixon's brain wasn't transplanted into the Unitard™'s skull cavity before the 2000 pseudo-election.

"What do they hell do they believe in?"
Some of them really do hate civil liberties, the Bill of Rights, anything that checks the power of the state to imprison and otherwise abuse people. I always go back to this quote from a March 2005 Defense Department memo, which equates trials with terrorism:
“Our strength as a nation-state will continue to be challenged by those who employ a strategy of the weak, using international fora, judicial processes, and terrorism.”

I'm really getting pissed off at the weather reports. Yea, I know, it's a small thing, but they're wrong so often, and I'm thinking it says something about journalism in general.
Finally, after years of faulty reporting on opinion polls, newspapers are starting to include margins of error and reliability stats in their reporting on polls. Shouldn't they do the same with weather forecasts?

There is something fishy about the major tuna company in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district being exempted from the minimum-wage increase that Democrats approved this week.
On Wednesday, the House voted to raise the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour.
The bill also extends for the first time the federal minimum wage to the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands. However, it exempts American Samoa, another Pacific island territory that would become the only U.S. territory not subject to federal minimum-wage laws.
One of the biggest opponents of the federal minimum wage in Samoa is StarKist Tuna, which owns one of the two packing plants that together employ more than 5,000 Samoans, or nearly 75 percent of the island's work force. StarKist's parent company, Del Monte Corp., has headquarters in San Francisco, which is represented by Mrs. Pelosi. The other plant belongs to California-based Chicken of the Sea.
Is there more to this or has Pelosi just sold out 5,000+ workers? I'm hoping there is more to it otherwise a large chunk of my faith in Pelosi looks to be misplaced.

Well, that explains why they denied my application and have sent termination letters to everyone...
I'm starting to think Shrub has nothing but wet toilet paper between his ears.
You don't want me to start my decline on the human group animal.

I don't mind, but it's probably not necessary.
Forty six percent of the entire DHS budget???????
what. the. fuck.
'Tastes okay. It was a little rusty, but it'll be fine, right?
TJ, extra spicy pinko commie! '
if you can stop, do it right now.
That's food poisoning asking for a place to hunker down.
TJ,
That is unfortunate, to say the least. Once again, proof that the people in this administration are, first and foremost, thieves.
I think the Iraqi people owe the American people a huge debt of gratitude and I believe most Iraqi's [sic] express that."
it's important that YOU believe that.
insane asshole.
Text of the minimum wage bill:
"SEC. 3. APPLICABILITY OF MINIMUM WAGE TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS.
(a) In General- Section 6 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 206) shall apply to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
(b) Transition- Notwithstanding subsection (a), the minimum wage applicable to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands under section 6(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 206(a)(1)) shall be--
(1) $3.55 an hour, beginning on the 60th day after the date of enactment of this Act; and
(2) increased by $0.50 an hour (or such lesser amount as may be necessary to equal the minimum wage under section 6(a)(1) of such Act), beginning 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act and every 6 months thereafter until the minimum wage applicable to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands under this subsection is equal to the minimum wage set forth in such section."
but it'll be fine, right?
TJ,
Was the can swollen?
Me, I don't use anything more than a year or two. Not worth the worry.
Well, that explains why they denied my application and have sent termination letters to everyone...
TJ, extra spicy pinko commie!
Well, of course. The no-bid contractors had to be paid first, right?
'I don't mind, but it's probably not necessary.

No, knowing you, I think you're pretty solid on the concept - but it's inclining me toward if i happen to get up early in the a.m. and Diane hasn't done something great already, doing a little soapbox routine. We'll see.
TJ just to feed a little to your rage, Brownie's assistant just got a new job.
From the Dept of Labor:
"The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), applies generally to employment within American Samoa as it does to employment within the United States. The minimum wage rates for American Samoa are set by a special industry committee (29 U.S.C. 205, 29 C.F.R. Part 511) appointed by the U.S. Department of Labor, as required by the Act. The rates are set for particular industries, not for an employee's particular occupation. The rates are minimum rates (29 U.S.C. 206(a)(3)); an employer may choose to pay an employee at a rate higher than the rate(s) for its industry."
Me? Listening to cheesy '80s hits that I like.

The sadly, no! boys have a lot of juicy news over at their place. Check out this quote Brad found:
“Speaking as a private individual, I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances,” said James Dobson, founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family as well as the Focus Action cultural action organization set up specifically to provide a platform for informing and rallying constituents.
well, well, well. I guess Saint McCain is fucked, ain't he?
Personally, while I continue to drink whole milk and welcome secondary tobacco smoke, and otherwise cling to my childlike aversion to "nutritional information" of any kind, I've long thought that all edible products should have a clearly readable expiration date.
And if there are products that keep "forever", they should carry a label explaining this.
Product labelling has moved in this direction somewhat, but there are still far too many products using an alphanumeric code decipherable only by the manufacturer.
I suppose that people with a neurotic phobia about "waste" wouldn't be deterred by expired "use-by" products anyway-- but if you're talking rusty cans-- for God's sake, throw them the fuck out; there are better ways to get iron into your system!
How much more wasteful is it to have your stomach pumped-- if you're lucky?
So no, Pelosi did nothing untoward the way I read it. In fact, the bill passed adjusts the minimum wage in Samoa to ultimately be in line with the rest of the US whilst still following the FLSA.
evening moonbats
well, well, well. I guess Saint McCain is fucked, ain't he?
TJ,
'bout time, since he's been bent over in front of Rove for going on six years now.
Especially after the Condi hearing pretty much took out Hagel, and seeing him on the Daily Show, Huckabee's the one to watch

In a more perfect world, we could make good use of all the prisons these sonsofbitches have been promoting. God, I would like to see the sniveling, thieving, lying bastards on the run.
how do the trolls ignore delay's island but glom onto this one?

Nah, when I opened it up it looked perfectly fine. This can survived Katrina. It's gonna be fine.
(of course if I'm puking my guts up later, I will be mighty embarassed)
oh, thanks, Erin, just what I needed.

"Secretary Rice is downplaying expectations for her trip to the Middle East"
I wonder if the laugh at her and make faces when Madame Supertanker's head is turned.
She's a fucking joke.

And it's not wet with spring water, either-- or holy water, for that matter.

after the birthpangs remark, I think they find her about as funny as a Bob Hope monologue
Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it!
If you get an email along the lines of "Osama Bin Laden Captured" or "Osama Hanged" don't open the attachment.
I cannot personally attest to the veracity of the claims included in the message. I received it from a credible source, but have not yet verified it. Still, I thought it no bad idea to promulgate the info, on the chance that it was true; it's just another coupla bauds...I have not myself received any such email as the one described...

however, this is Dobson, he's pro'ly relying on his followers to know that the unspoken motivation is that McCain adopted mixed race child/children.
God, this is disgusting. How tough with the law firms be?

That's what I was telling you about this morning, bemember? That's why McHenry was pushing it with Barney Frank - great little clip, btw. Anyway, NTodd obviously said it so much better than I did.
The right wing radio shows were all over it like flies on shit yesterday afternoon. More fabulous misrepresentation.
Moyers just said something about this country is going to die of too many lies.

It is, as they say, a fucking hoax.
Any warning that claims that you will be unable to fix the damage is automatically scored three on the "flaming monitor virus" scale.
Claims to have veriified this with snopes adds another two points.
Another point for asking you to forward it wo your friends.
Three more points for "most dangerous virus evar!!!" with references to a news agency and MS and/or a major AV firm
Seventeen points for refering to the non-existant "zero sector" of your HDD.
etc...

Completely OT, but my mother sent me "Dumbass" - a collection of Bush quotes over the past six years.

So what was that fuckhead McHenry on about in his little whinefest in front of Barney?
So what was that fuckhead McHenry on about in his little whinefest in front of Barney?
pie
He needs to be slapped around just for his constant use of the phrase "Democrat Party"
Oh my fucking god.
I've found some truly repulsive hate speech.
Have you ever heard of Michael Crook? I have now, and I wish I hadn't.
Check out Monica's website. She's hawking a full line of "Hillary is Satan" gear.
One of the most stunning aspects of this whole Gitmo phenomena is the fact that no one ever questions why these prisoners are required to be kept on soil outside of the United States (and let's not brush this off with the "Gitmo is American territory" excuse, it simply doesn't fly). The fact that they're in Cuba and the fact that we have been sending people to secret torture prisons outside of the U.S. is in effect, an acknowledgment that holding them isn't remotely legal or valid (why aren't they in federal prisons? What do these people know that requires them to be kept in the shadows forever?). I never want to hear the word "justice" coming out of the mouths of any of these lying war-clowns in the Bush administration ever again...they simply have NO understanding of the concept and if there really was any justice in this world, they'd be exchanging places with those being held in these outside-of-America prisons that they've condemned so many to without trial, without charges, without any realistic representation. I am so ashamed of the "United States" at this point that actually can only bring myself to think of it in the past tense and parenthetically (as what stands for "our government" now is nothing more than a traitorous coup that has no connection to the Constitution, which it has tossed out as being "inconvenient" to the corporate/military circle that now controls the country).
What are you saluting now, when you salute the flag? What are American soldiers dying for? The United States has vanished, being stolen in broad daylight with the assistance of "the liberal media". It was hidden in a secret prison and tortured until it lost it's mind, and when it was of no further use to the coup, it was simply beheaded. You must know, deep down, that what I'm telling you is true. You've just heard Bush say that he doesn't care what the voters voted for and he doesn't accept that the Congress has the power to stop him from anything he choses to do, including starting a nuclear war.
The United States is dead, remember it well and avenge its murder.
See Dahlia Lithwick at Slate:
But Guantanamo stays open for the same reason Padilla stays on trial. Having claimed the right to label enemy combatants and detain them indefinitely without charges, the Bush administration is unable to retreat from that position without ceding ground. In some sense, the president is now as much a prisoner of Guantanamo as the detainees. And having gone nose-to-nose with the Congress over his authority to craft stripped-down courts for these "enemies," courts guaranteed to produce guilty verdicts, Bush cannot just call off the trials.
The endgame in the war on terror isn't holding the line against terrorists. It's holding the line on hard-fought claims to absolutely limitless presidential authority.
This is only about presidential imperial power. This is a constitutional crisis. Congress must face it.
So, when will the powder-filled envelopes stuffed by rabid, right-wing Republicans start inundating these pro bono Gitmo lawyers and their law firms?
You do realize this is what is going to happen.
Over 99 percent of the hundreds of thousands of hoax anthrax letters mailed to U.S. citizens since late 2001 have been sent by rabid, right-wing, anti-democracy Republicans.
From what I've read, this is the terrorist weapon of choice by these dangerous, dangerous Republican fools.
And John Ashcroft's/Alberto Gonzales' Justice Department seem to be having trouble tracking down these right-wing terrorists among us, including the wingnut(s) who sent the real anthrax back in 2001.
So, I agree with Josh Marshall. This whole FOIA, Gitmo lawyers list and Crowley being allowed to air her show from Gitmo looks orchestrated, probably so the right-wing terrorists in our midst will know to whom to send their powder-filled terrorist envelopes.
They believe in fascist dictatorship, with a side order of religious fanaticism.
