Hey, mz mena and JP.
I’m just not certain, having watched the fresh-faced senator shy away from fighting with the feral Hillary over her Hollywood turf, that he understands that a campaign is inherently a conflict.
The "feral Hillary"? Dowd is an idiot.
Speaking of the NYT, Tumulty manages to miss the point in this tidbit:
Liberal commenters to this blog have long complained that the MSM has not given the private lives of Republican candidates the kind of scrutiny that it gives the Clintons. The New York Times, which last year gave the Clinton marriage front-page treatment, grabbed my attention with this story today about the estrangement of Rudy Giuliani from his children.
I've gotta admit I feel torn about this one. On the one hand, I'm not all that comfortable with writing about a politician's children. (Whatever else you say about the MSM during the Clinton years, it pretty much--with some notable exceptions--left Chelsea alone.) And given the stakes of this election, personal dramas really should take a back seat to big issues.
But then again, you can't discount that there is an interesting political situation here for the guy who is leading in the polls. ...

Time has not published another word about the firings since those two Carney posts -- not in the magazine, not on the website, not even on Swampland. Carney said Lam's firing "has a particularly bad odor to it" -- but dismisses broader concerns as a conspiracy theory.
That needs to be updated. Carney crawled out of his hidey hole yesterday with a post that said the bloggers still have a few hurdles to clear:
The hearing Tuesday should be riveting. If Iglesias names names, and others tell similar stories, I will take my hat off to Marshall and others in the blogosphere and congratulate them for having been right in their suspicions about this story from the beginning. We're not there yet, but Iglesias' decision to go public is a big deal. If others do the same, this could become a giant scandal for the Bush Administration very quickly. Interference by lawmakers in federal investigations is serious business. So, too, is shutting down politically inconvenient probes by firing the prosecutors in charge. The key will be getting testimony under oath from someone at DOJ who can tell the story of why Iglesias, Cummins, Carol Lam and the others were fired.
Well, 12 hours of sleep leaves me pretty much speechless.

Maybe if a worthy candidate for prez would run on a "Repeal the Patriot Trash the Country Act" it would catch on. Somebody better had repeal it as it runs totally opposed to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The fact that it allows an administration to corrupt the courts is probably the scariest and most fundamentally totalitarian thing yet.
I recently say Ghouliani on C-SPAN saying that the key thing rethugs stood for was Freedom
That's so uniquely Republican...
All that said, I'm digressing here. The nut graf to understanding Klein's thoughts comes after he professes pride in his "wanker of the day" awards and says that "Lots of you assume that my relative moderation is some sort of carefully calculated chicken-hearted pose rather than an actual belief system. But I've come to my views honestly, after years of watching extremists on both sides of the spectrum refuse to accept the complexities of reality with disastrous consequences." I've no doubt his views are honest and arrived at thoughtfully. But that doesn't make them right.
What Klein isn't doing here is engaging the substance of the critiques made against him. Instead, it looks like he's allowing his a priori belief that "extremists on both sides of the spectrum refuse to accept the complexities of reality with disastrous consequences" to take over for argument. From there, he can term Atrios an extremist -- in rhetoric, if not in ideology -- and discount his criticisms. Thus, every "wanker" award becomes a badge of honor, as the insults of an extremist imply that Klein is the opposite, i.e, someone who accepts the complexities of of reality with beneficial consequences.
Young Ezra takes a bit outta Klein.
Bill Kristol is very silly man.
I think he's a faggot.

Why is politics the only arena where those who turned out to be right still get flayed as outcasts, while those who are known to be utterly wrong get rewarded as visionaries? In business, if you make the wrong calls, you lose money and, most often, lose your job. If you make the right call, you make a lot of money, and you usually get promoted. There are exceptions to this axiom, of course - but it generally works this way. In politics, it generally works the opposite way. The people who make the right call on the big issues are punished with elite vitiriol, and those who repeatedly make the wrong calls on such issues are vaulted into the highest echelons of the Establishment.
Nowhere was this more obvious than on the Iraq War. As Jebediah Reed at Radar Magazine has shown in detail, most of the major pundits who led the cheering section for the war have been rewarded with promotions, while those writers who actually accurately predicted the war as a disaster have been cast aside like pieces of garbage. ...

Romney and McCain campaigns attack Coulter for calling John Edwards a "faggot"

Note to corporate media: This is news, that's n-e-w-s.
The GOP presidential candidates have begun to weigh in over Ann Coulter's outrageously bigoted comments yesterday at the largest conservative conference of the year. Coulter was the putative keynote speaker of the entire event - her speech was the most widely anticipated of all, according to those who attended. Here's what McCain's camp (McCain didn't even attend the conference, yet they weighed in) and Romney's camp (he did attend) had to say, per the NYT blog, since the real media refuses to cover this story.
Uh oh. According to haloscan, none of these comments has actually happened yet. Hold me.
Mena--it's a paradox

Not that it's particularly any person's business, but it's still saying "Iraq" and "Al Qaeda" side by side.

Yellow ribbons dwindle with war support
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/
4793da48...00779e2340.html
For three years after the invasion of Iraq, it was difficult to drive more than a few miles through middle America without seeing a car displaying a magnetic yellow ribbon.
The magnets, bearing the slogan “Support Our Troops”, became a symbol of patriotism for millions of US motorists.
But as support for the war fades, demand for yellow ribbons has collapsed.
Magnet America, the largest manufacturer of the product, has seen sales fall from a peak of 1.2m in August 2004 to about 4,000 a month and now has an unsold stockpile of about 1m magnets.
“We have enough supplies to meet demand for years to come,” said Micah Pattisall, director of operations. “Every product has a lifespan and this one has run its course.”
At its peak, the North Carolina-based company employed 180 people to handle sales, marketing and distribution. Today, it employs 11 people.
Mr Pattisall said declining support for the war was not the only reason for the slump.
A flood of cheap imports from China also hurt the company, which has refused to shift production overseas even though it costs three times as much to manufacture in the US.
Only about half a dozen companies are still supplying the magnets compared with up to 200 at the height of the fad, according to Mr Pattisall.
So when did Edwards stop beating his wife? McCain refuses to let what others say about the topic change his opinion of Edwards.

Gonzales to Dems: Shoo, Fly
By Paul Kiel
http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/arch...ives/
002669.php
From Bob Novak's column today:
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has indicated he is too busy to answer letters from Democratic congressional leaders about his firing seven U.S. attorneys involved in probes of public corruption, though a lower-level Justice Department official rejected their proposals.
Rep. Rahm Emanuel, House Democratic Caucus chairman, had written Gonzales two letters suggesting that he name Carol Lam, fired as U.S. attorney in San Diego, as an outside counsel to continue her pursuit of the Duke Cunningham case. Asked by Melissa Charbonneau of the Christian Broadcasting Network about this column’s report that Gonzales did not respond, Gonzales said: “I think that the American people lose if I spend all my time worrying about congressional requests for information, if I spend all my time responding to subpoenas.”
Richard A. Hertling, the acting Justice Department lobbyist, responded Wednesday, 22 days after Emanuel’s letter. He contended “the Justice Department would not ever seek the resignation of a U.S. attorney if doing so would jeopardize a public corruption case” and rejected naming Lam as a special prosecutor.

9 September 2001 -- Commander Ahmad Shah Mas'ud, who has spent years fighting Soviet occupation and then leading the anti-Taliban United Front (aka Northern Alliance), is killed by Algerian suicide bombers disguised as a camera crew. The so-called 9/11 attacks against the United States take place days later, prompting the United States to invade to invoke NATO's Article 5 and lead an invasion to oust the Taliban and Al-Qaeda from Afghanistan.

(Roll Me Away for you)
Took a look down a westbound road,
Right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on
Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin'
Roll, roll me away,
Won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
jack learned new words and is eager to show off his bigotry.
I hope this effeminant little pimp does ignore a congressional subpoena.

RCMP probe suspicious bottle on school bus
RCMP are investigating an incident on a school bus in the Halifax area that sent one student to a doctor.
The driver said the bus was on its way to Ridgecliff Middle School Tuesday morning when he heard a small pop. Students then came forward complaining of watery eyes and breathing problems.
One student was sent to a doctor and released.
The Mounties, who were continuing their investigation, said officers found a small damaged pop bottle that appeared to have some sort of liquid in it.
So now, you see, twelve-year old kids playing with bear spray are "terrorists" who show up on global terror watch lists.
