"MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Senator John McCain, a Republican contender for the White House in 2008, chastised Europe on Saturday for failing to supply the troops and money to win in Afghanistan and said NATO's future was at stake.
In tough comments that singled out specific countries, McCain told NATO allies to move beyond the "false debate" over security and development priorities in Afghanistan -- a dispute that dominated a defense ministers' meeting earlier this week.
Instead, Europe should follow Washington's lead and put more forces and resources into the war effort."

I usually don't reproduce anything the blithering fucking idiot says, much less link to it, but her rant about the HPV vaccine is absolutely stunning:
The (NY Times) editorial was more focused on the way socially conservative parents might stand in the way of girls getting an effective treatment:
"Many parents are appalled at the notion of vaccinating such young girls against a sexually transmitted disease. But the medical reality is that the vaccine will generally not work after a woman has been infected, so it is best for girls to be vaccinated well before they become sexually active."
"Before they become sexually active." The assumption is they will have multiple male sex partners, but many will not. Should they all have the vaccine? Of course, I can see why you can't expect parents to have an accurate idea of whether their daughters will expose themselves to sexually transmitted diseases -- or to spend their money protecting them from a danger they want them to avoid altogether.

Mr. Chairman, this can't possibly be the best they have got. This can't be. I cannot imagine that a party that governed for the last 12- some-odd years, who had a Congress that met less days than the do- nothing Congress, who wasted billions of dollars in the Iraq war doing no oversight, drove up the deficit to record heights, wasted homeland security funds, it can't possibly be that the best that party has is to now devote an afternoon talking about the security arrangements for the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.

Putting aside for a moment, which apparently is what the other side wants, putting aside for a moment the bill we are here to debate, which is a way to improve energy programs with existing infrastructure, and I can guarantee my colleagues will be lining up to take advantage of that program, we have, in the first 100 hours of this Congress, raised the minimum wage; we have lowered the cost of people to send their children to college; we have implemented the 9/11 Commission Report.
We have moved through an agenda with efficiency to get things done for the American people, and now my colleagues on the other side want to have an argument with the White House over the appropriate arrangements for the Speaker.

Now, look, I am sure that my good friends on the other side are so detached from reality that they think this is what the American people want to work on. This is a party that squandered the leadership that they had. Now the Republic Party is in the minority for the foreseeable future. The Republic Party is so completely bankrupt of any ideas of their own, they have taken to bringing up 3 hours of discussion and a debate between the White House and themselves about what kind of security the Speaker should have. The Republic Party is the minority party not only for this reason, but this is one of them.
And then to make it worse, the Members that the Republic Party sends over can't possibly be the A team. This can't be the best. This can't be the most articulate, most informed voices of the Republic Party, can it? This is it. I was in my office and I heard a Member of the Republic Party, and you will correct me, Mr. Chairman, if I am wrong, complaining that he had to sit in a middle seat. No, not a middle seat. Complaining that he had to eat peanuts on his flight. I don't even know what this is about.

Funny how he should start wringing his hands about whether it's all worth it just after he started a fund drive.
Mr. WEINER. Reclaiming my time, even those members of this panel, these scientists that took a look at global warming, global climate change, 90 percent of them, a record level of consensus, say that human causes are to blame. We are not going to leave it to the Republic Party to solve this problem. They are in the minority. They are probably in the permanent minority if they are going to spend their time obsessing about security arrangements for the Speaker and disagreeing with the President of the United States' spokesman. But we are.
Nancy Pelosi, this party is going to do something about global warming; we are not going to wait for the Republic Party to join in. Just the same way we said we were going to increase the minimum wage, the same way we said we were going to increase safety by implementing the 9/11 Commission Report, the same way we said we were going to reduce college costs for the American middle class and those striving to make it, that is what we are going to do. You can have this debate all you want about the security arrangements for the Speaker, but we are going to go about doing the job of the American people. That is why the Democratic Party is in charge, not the Republic Party.

smalfish | 02.10.07 - 7:04 pm
The fewer/less thing, is, as I understand it, dictated by granularity. If you are speaking of discreet units, (coconuts, gallons, Republicans convicted of sex crimes, what have you,) then one has more or fewer. If one is speaking of somewhat fuzzier amounts (noise, trouble, aggravation) then there is more or less of that.

Richard in the last thread made the vital connection on the Raw story headline about Ike Skelton , Dem Armed Services Committee Chairman making GOP Meme noises about Iran ...
here are Skelton's major campaign contributors...
The top three are Boeing, Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. General Dynamics is #8. Military contactor galore.
So the first Democrat to write muscular foreign policy documents with the authority of the Armed Services Committee is using Michael Gordon's NYT writing ( currently enjoying the chorus of mocking and accusations from all corners of respectable blogistan for it's homicidally negligent quoting of Anonymous White House officials without questioning Any part of the Story...Oh, did we mention Gordon is Judy Millers old Aluminium Tube Co-Stenographer) to make menacing noises at Iran in the opening days of a Republican military operation , legitimizing the Bushites new staccato ( See? it's Bi-partisan Mongering ..) and he's up to his eyeballs in Defence Industry Campaign Contributions. WOW.
That's my news item of the day , and again , thanks Richard for that killer fast search .

Why the fuck the Democrats do not pick this up and run with it 24/7 as if it were the only, and I mean the ONLY, thing happening is beyond me. We could lock in the WH and a huge majority in both houses if we could just tag the Republicans with not wanting to work five days a week the way they tagged Kerry with being a flip-flopper. Americans working two and three jobs would use some of their non-existant vacation time to go to the polls and vote these MFs out. Its a sign of just how elitist and out of touch these MFs are that they'd even dare to complain about working a full work week. A little message discipline, Dems!

"How Cap-and-Trade Could Replace Foreign Aid
The Kyoto Protocol was a noble effort. The treaty wasn’t good enough to put the brakes on global warming, though, mainly because developing countries didn’t want to slow down their economic growth. But they stand to earn tens of billions of dollars thanks to climate change—and make foreign aid a thing of the past in the process." http://www.foreignpolicy.com/index.php

His stint with CNN came to an end after a October 2004 episode of Crossfire, wherein comic Jon Stewart skewered Crossfire and specifically Carlson for "hurting America" with debate that was loud but rarely enlightening. "What you do is not honest," said Stewart. "What you do is partisan hackery. You have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably." Several weeks later, in announcing that Carlson's services would no longer be needed, CNN president Jonathan Klein said, "I agree wholeheartedly with Jon Stewart's overall premise."

Tishman Speyer paid $5.4bn (Ł2.8bn) in October for more than 11,000 apartments clustered in 110 tower blocks along the east side of the island. There was speculation from tenants' groups that the firm would seek to end controlled rents in many apartments to get a return on its investment. The New York Sun yesterday revealed that the company has brought in private detective Fred Knapp to find tenants in breach of rental controls

Tuckered Out
I caught an episode of Bill Maher's show on HBO with Tucker Carlson, and found myself, well, tuckered out. Oh, he seems dogmatic enough for opinion-based television, but how much of that stuff can you take without choking? I mean, the man actually argued that health care costs in the United States consume a lower percentage of GDP than in nations with national health care plans. (And he actually appeared to believe it.) Note to Tucker: On Real Time, Maher's supposed to be the comedian.
What I found most interesting about him was that everything about him screamed "I was a privileged child", right down to his rant about how it isn't moral to brag about your possessions. (He'll apparently challenge the notion that you shouldn't lie to a grand jury, but don't go bragging about your "bling bling".)

"Don’t Blame Gazprom for Europe’s Energy Crunch
By Jérôme Guillet
...But Gazprom is getting a bad rap. Rightly or wrongly, the management of the company is trying to do what businesses do: maximize its income. ...
..Gazprom’s business tactics do appear to be heavy-handed. The energy company’s demands for more money for its gas have often looked like ultimatums. In 2005, after months of negotiations and deadlock, Gazprom did cut off the taps when the Ukraine refused to agree to an immediate quadrupling of gas prices. ...
There has been no actual energy crisis yet in Europe, just the manufactured perception of one. ...
The problem is not Gazprom or Vladimir Putin, but my fellow Europeans’ extraordinary expectation that Russia must deliver its gas to us, on the cheap. It may feel good to blame Putin for our problems, but it doesn’t make us right." http://www.foreignpolicy.com/sto...p?

It looks to me like Harry Reid is getting ready to sue the AP and their former ace reporter John Solomon.From the AP:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has hired Los Angeles celebrity attorney Martin Singer for legal work.
Singer is among Hollywood's most sought-after litigators and has represented Governor Schwarzenegger, Britney Spears and Bruce Willis, among others. His specialties include libel, copyright and privacy law.
Reid paid Singer $25,000 from his senatorial campaign account on December 14th, according to his most recent Federal Election Commission report.
Reid's spokesman, Jon Summers, said Singer was hired to help Reid respond to a story by The Associated Press that was critical of a Las Vegas land deal involving the senator. He said Reid got approval from the Senate Ethics Committee for the expenditure.

Tucker Carlson's schtick is to take the conflict position, he argues as a game. I really have no respect for Rachel Maddow's debate crush on him. She may enjoy the sparring but it's a poisonous manner of discourse to be delivering on "news" outlets as if there was any substance to the arguments. She can make googly eyes and argue with him in coffee shops, but by going on his show she helps him destroy real debate of issues.

With added fresh corn, chopped ham, cheese and green chiles..... Want the receipt? It's really just the one on the side of the box, but half and half white/yellow meal, put the fat in the skillet in the oven while it heats, beat the whites separately, then fold the mixture together, add the hot fat into the mix, stir quickly, throw back into the skillet and cook.... Method, rather than content. Nummies. For custard cornbread, do all the same, but when finally in the skillet add in another cup of milk - it'll form a custard in the centre. With strawberry jam and butter? Heaven.

As a newcomer to this blogging business, I've been interested in the Edwards dust-up. As readers know, I've been critical of the tone of the left-wing blogosphere in the past. But I think that Yglesias raises an important point here and anyone reading the comments section of any Swampland post knows that troglyditic right-wing cavedwellers fester there, in a vomitously vile manner, too.
And I'd add this: Radio. I was driving into Springfield, Ill last night for the Obama festivities and caught the ever-vile Sean Hannity "interviewing" the even-more-vile Dick Morris about Hillary. Just disgraceful...and they were mild compared to the crap I've heard from Rush and others over the years. ...

Sen. Tim Johnson working from hospital http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070.../
ailing_senator
WASHINGTON - Sen. Tim Johnson (news, bio, voting record) is reading news clippings and starting to do some office work from the hospital, almost two months after suffering a life-threatening brain hemorrhage. "At this point, he has requested more contact with office and is looking for updates from staff," his office said in a statement Friday.
Spokeswoman Julianne Fisher said the South Dakota Democrat is starting slowly.
"We do not anticipate him back (in the Senate) for several weeks," Fisher said. "We are bringing work to him rather than him coming to us. His first priority still is rehabilitation."
Johnson has been undergoing physical, occupational and speech therapy since he was transferred to rehabilitation from intensive care at George Washington University Hospital last month. He recently began to read and speak in full sentences, according to statements from his doctors.
Part of Johnson's therapy has been to deal with weakness on his right side. Doctors have said Johnson showed that weakness when he arrived at the hospital Dec. 13.

FBI Probes California GOP Congressman's Land Deals http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...7020901974.html
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9 -- A Republican congressman from California defended his reputation this week, as FBI investigators look into charges that he improperly delayed paying taxes on several lucrative land deals.
Rep. Gary G. Miller told fellow House Republicans behind closed doors Tuesday that he "has done nothing wrong, his business dealings have all been above-board and that these allegations are baseless and have no merit," his spokesman Scott Toussaint said.
The FBI investigation follows an article in the Los Angeles Times and a complaint from the nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics alleging that Miller, a wealthy real estate developer, unlawfully avoided paying taxes on a land deal.
According to the newspaper's account, confirmed by Miller, he sold 165 vacant acres to the city of Monrovia, Calif., in 2002, after trying for years to build housing on it. He then delayed paying taxes on $10 million in profit by claiming that he sold under threat of eminent domain.
Miller used money from the sale to buy two other pieces of land in nearby Fontana, Calif., from a campaign contributor. He sold both to the city of Fontana, and once more delayed paying taxes by claiming the city threatened to take the land.

Information regarding the foreign body, clinical presentation and extraction technique were documented. RESULTS: All 13 patients were male: age range 2-66 years. Seven were Caucasian, 4 African and 1 Asian. The foreign bodies included a penknife, an aerosol deodorant spray can, a blue plastic tumbler, a plastic bag containing two bank-notes and some marijuana, a plastic packet containing fish hooks, a penlight torch, a broomstick, a battery powered vibrator, a primus stove, a cap of an aerosol can, a piece of wire, a piece of hosepipe wrapped with wire and an iron bar. They entered the alimentary tract for a variety of reasons; anal autoeroticism (3), concealment (2), attention seeking behaviour (3), accidental (1), assault (2) and to alleviate constipation (2)

The trouble is, obnoxious doesn't win you many friends or elections. I think Melinda Henneberger raiases an important point here. To which I add this, Roman Catholics are THE swing vote in American politics. When Democrats win them--Clinton in 1992 and 96, and a skad of candidates in 2006--they win elections. When they don't, they lose.
Now, being civil doesn't mean you can't call a fool a fool. It's means you can't call a fool "a wet turd of a human fart." (A sobriquet employed by my favorite character in Primary Colors, Libby Holden.) Vileness is fun, but it's kid fun--and there is very important business to be transacted in the next few years. And promising candidates like John Edwards don't need to be weighed down by the ill-considered anger of their supporters.

They sound great. No one would ever suggest that they're any kind of "best buy," but if you don't have a problem with the price, you won't be disappointed with the radio.

WASHINGTON BUREAU
PRINCETON, MINN.–When Bill Snellman marked his 25th birthday in his online journal last April 2, his thoughts were already 12 months down the road.
"My only birthday wish today," he wrote, "a day sans candles and cake, is that on my next birthday, my 26th, my journal entry begins with Monday, 2 April 2007 – Duluth, Minn.
"I'd even settle for Monday, 2 April 2007 – Eddyville, Iowa."
He's getting neither.
He will wake up on April 2 in Iraq, along with 2,600 other members of the Minnesota National Guard, men and women whose loved ones wait at home, calendars circled with their expected spring return now symbols of a cruel joke."
Michael Crichton is such a fucking hack. He makes movies with cardboard characters and writes them in novel form.
I really don't mind Critchon's books or movies. If they're taken as fiction. The reason his latest book had so much acclaim, was it fit right into the rights talking points.

Probably the most expensive meal in the world was served last night to 15 paying customers and 25 invited guests. The bill was $1m, which works out at about Ł13,000 per head. Gratuities, it is understood, were at the discretion of the customer.
This remarkable feast was served in a Bangkok hotel to high-rolling gourmets and curiosity seekers, who jetted in from Europe, the United States and across Asia. Lest anyone choke at the sheer conspicuous consumption of it all, organisers pointed out that "most" of the profits will go to two charities - Médecins Sans Frontičres and the Chaipattana Foundation, a rural development charity set up by the King of Thailand.

The whole thing is surreal," said Alain Solivérčs, the celebrated chef of Taillevent in Paris. He was commissioned to prepare two of his signature dishes, including the opening course: a crčme brűlée of foie gras to be washed down with a 1990 Cristal - Roederer's elegant champagne, which retails at upwards of Ł250 a bottle, but still stood out as one of the evening's cheapest wines.
Little expense was spared in putting together the event, titled "Epicurean Masters of the World". The ingredients were flown in fresh: black truffles, foie gras, oysters and live Brittany lobsters; caviar; Jerusalem artichokes and white truffles from Rome. Diners sipped their way through legendary vintages, like a 1985 Romanée-Conti, a 1959 Château Mouton Rothschild, a 1967 Château d'Yquem and a 1961 Château Palmer, considered "one of the greatest single wines of the 20th century," according to Alun Griffiths of Berry Bros & Rudd, the St James's wine merchants which procured and shipped them. The wine alone cost more than Ł100,000, he said.

Homophobic, anti-marriage-equality, right-wing Christian baseball star is getting divorced
Smoltz now:
"Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz, 39, is getting a divorce. The agency that represents him -- Career Sports & Entertainment -- said Friday the pitcher and his wife, Dyan, had agreed to split after about 16 years of marriage. They have four school-age children, a son and three daughters."
Smoltz then:
“Smoltz, a devout Christian, criticized those who want to legalize gay marriage,” the AP reported. “‘What’s next? Marrying an animal?’ he asked derisively.”
"The Corner" at the National Review Online reports that at a Republican luncheon yesterday, White House adviser Karl Rove was overheard explaining the Bush amnesty immigration plan by saying, "I don't want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas."

One of the earliest Darwin Awards if not the earlest:
It seems that a former Air Force sergeant had somehow got hold of a JATO (Jet Assisted Take-Off) unit...The sergeant took the JATO unit into the Arizona desert and found a long, straight stretch of road. He attached the JATO unit to his car, jumped in, accelerated to a high speed, and fired off the rocket.
... He ignited the JATO unit approximately 3.9 miles from the crash site. This was established by the location of a prominently scorched and melted strip of asphalt. The vehicle quickly reached a speed of between 250 and 300 mph and continued at that speed, under full power, for an additional 20-25 seconds. The soon-to-be pilot experienced G-forces usually reserved for dog-fighting F-14 jocks under full afterburners.
The Chevy remained on the straight highway for approximately 2.6 miles (15-20 seconds) before the driver applied the brakes, completely melting them, blowing the tires, and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface. The vehicle then became airborne for an additional 1.3 miles, impacted the cliff face at a height of 125 feet, and left a blackened crater 3 feet deep in the rock.
Most of the driver's remains were not recovered; ...
Ironically a still-legible bumper sticker was found, reading
"How do you like my driving? Dial 1-800-EAT-SHIT."

Prior, I envision a scenario in which a mysterious young man, African-American or perhaps Native American, turns up at your door looking for an honest job.
And after some wrangling with the Bishop, or whichever prelate has authority over your community, a deal is struck whereby the visitor is contracted to string miles of cable over impossible terrain. Only mutual despair, or perhaps despair on the visitor's part and hope on the community, is the dynamic catalyst.
Some acerbic scold must be procured for the proper dramatic tension, but it ends gloriously, with the monastery getting its well-deserved high-speed Internet connection-- and the stranger, somehow fulfilled, moving confidently into the future.

One of the best near-Darwin awards:
Larry hatched his weather balloon scheme while sitting outside in his "extremely comfortable" Sears lawnchair. He purchased 45 weather balloons from an Army-Navy surplus store, tied them to his tethered lawnchair dubbed the Inspiration I, and filled the 4' diameter balloons with helium. Then he strapped himself into his lawnchair with some sandwiches, Miller Lite, and a pellet gun. He figured he would pop a few of the many balloons when it was time to descend.
Larry's plan was to sever the anchor and lazily float up to a height of about 30 feet above his back yard, where he would enjoy a few hours of flight before coming back down. But things didn't work out quite as Larry planned.
When his friends cut the cord anchoring the lawnchair to his Jeep, he did not float lazily up to 30 feet. Instead, he streaked into the LA sky as if shot from a cannon, pulled by the lift of 42 helium balloons holding 33 cubic feet of helium each. He didn't level off at 100 feet, nor did he level off at 1000 feet. After climbing and climbing, he leveled off at 16,000 feet.
At that height he felt he couldn't risk shooting any of the balloons, lest he unbalance the load and really find himself in trouble. So he stayed there, drifting cold and frightened with his beer and sandwiches, for more than 14 hours. He crossed the primary approach corridor of LAX, where Trans World Airlines and Delta Airlines pilots radioed in reports of the strange sight.
Eventually he gathered the nerve to shoot a few balloons, and slowly descended. The hanging tethers tangled and caught in a power line, blacking out a Long Beach neighborhood for 20 minutes. Larry climbed to safety, where he was arrested by waiting members of the LAPD.
The Federal Aviation Administration was not amused. Safety Inspector Neal Savoy said, "We know he broke some part of the Federal Aviation Act, and as soon as we decide which part it is, a charge will be filed."

It's weird y'all are talking darwin awards tonight. One of the neighbor boys was leaning out the kid-filled van yesterday, yelling at some other kids up the street. The girl driving wasn't paying attention and hit a parked pickup, then the kid fell out and hit the pickup, too. With his head. Now his brain has swelled, but he's still breathing on his own.
A guy from channel 4 came up to the door where I was watching the mayhem. "Did you see the shooting?" he asked. I explained to him that it was an automobile accident, yet he persisted. "The man across the street said a lady said she saw a gun, and you're a lady..."
I couldn't help replying "Maybe they had a silencer!". With that, he turned on his heel and walked back to the van.

""So what's the problem? Well, perhaps you recall the story reported by TPM Muckracker a few weeks ago, in which Justin Rood revealed that Cheney purports to have exempted his office from the requirement of disclosing the number of political appointees in the OVP, for a directory of all executive branch positions known as the "Plum Book."
Instead, what appears in place of that required disclosure is a three paragraph statement, beginning thus (PDF):
The Vice Presidency is a unique office that is neither a part of the executive branch nor a part of the legislative branch, but is attached by the Constitution to the latter. The Vice Presidency performs functions in both the legislative branch (see Article I, section 3 of the Constitution) and in the executive branch (see Article II, and amendments XII and XXV, of the Constitution, and section 106 of title 3 of the United States Code).
You read that right. The Vice Presidency is now "a unique office," a fourth branch, if you will.
Fuck civility. Rage.

It's weird y'all are talking darwin awards tonight. One of the neighbor boys was leaning out the kid-filled van yesterday, yelling at some other kids up the street. The girl driving wasn't paying attention and hit a parked pickup, then the kid fell out and hit the pickup, too. With his head. Now his brain has swelled, but he's still breathing on his own.
Ummmm. that is an interesting interpretation... F&*KING WRONG! but an interesting interpretation.

radium.htm
Radithor was pre-mixed radium water manufactured in New Jersey by W. J. A. Bailey during the 1920's. Bailey called it "A Cure for the Living Dead" meaning a cure for mental illness and retardation. One of Radithor's fans was Eben Beyers, a steel tycoon in Pittsburg. Mr. Beyers drank 1400 bottles of Radithor and became so seriously ill with radium poisoning that portions of his mouth and jaw were surgically removed before he died in 1931. His death, noted on the front page of the New York Times, marked the beginning of the end of the popular radium water cures.

In the meantime, we continue to bicker about how to object to Bush's sending additional troops to Iran that he has alread sent.
In the meantime, Bush is preparing for another unnecessary war of choice based on false pretenses. This one could lead to our destruction before global warming gets us. Sheesh.

And guess what? Andy’s-Andy’s sense of humor just collapsed. He found that offensive. You see what you are? You’re a phony. You’re a typical Ivy League little brat who thinks it’s OK to dump on Catholics, but you don’t like my gook joke. Now, what’s wrong with a gook joke?

Otherwise, I enjoyed this Ray McGovern--and wtf is it with Ray McGovern, if he's honest why doesn't he go ahead and talk about secret but illegal stuff instead of getting all theoretical--article about the risk to Israel in an planned US or Israeli attack on Iran. Yes, one reason to not attack Iran is a counter attack on Israel by various Arab countries. In fact, if the war gets large enough, it's likely that parts of Israel will resemble Afghanistan, Iraq, or Lebanon. Hence Bush is bad for Israel, says McGovern. Oversimplified but still recommended.

Damn straight. Bush and company are the biggest recruiting tool OBL has. Get the sane folks in and things may settle down and then what. OBL will be sending recruiters to schools with incentives of XBox 360s and free concert tickets.

Shithead Australian Prime Minister and Bush-fellator extraordinaire John Howard weighs in against an Obama Presidency, saying that it is what Al Queada should be "praying for":
Al Queda already has everything they've ever prayed for in George W. Bush, and then some.

Six years ago, the biggest problem we had as a country was a blowjob.
I'd say George Bush has been far far worse for the country than OBL.

You know why children die of the flu?
Because their immune systems are top-notch. They often die of the immune response. That's Bush, in a nutshell--an insane immune system.
I don't even give a shit (never did) about the disease --terrorism--he claims to be curing. His response has been so damned destructive....

From the L.A. Times
"Iran reformists want U.S. to tone down nuclear talk
By Kim Murphy | 10:00 p.m.
They say it helps Ahmadinejad stay in power as thousands of Iranians prepare to gather and endorse the country's drive for nuclear power."
When will people learn NOT to tell Bush what not to do?

Well you know a blowjob is illegal, lying the country into war is just inappropriate.

I went to the SF Ballet this afternoon. She was in the box next to mine. I introduced myself and we chatted at intermission.
When asked if she'd got the bastards to give her a damn plane she laughed but didn't answer.

I mean, she should feel that we've got her back. God knows she's not going to hear anything like that from the Beltway insiders, or the WaPo.

When I introduced myself I told her as a woman, a democrat and a Californian, she made me very proud.
And I didn't think she probably heard that enough.
