Darryl--It's a shame that the neocon regime made satire irrelevant.
Yes, to first question in second article. yes, BushCo has used DOJ to go against political enemies. D'uh.
Unless of course the perps can prove they're Republican, then it's all okay.

I used to make jokes that our recent atmospheric, oceanic, and lithospheric disturbances were a result of Dormammu's (or Cthulhu's) attempts to enter our universe through a hyperdimensional, transtemporal portal.
But the recent acceleration in changing our clocks has forced me to realize this might be true!
Rove on Cspan last night said his family was apolitical. His Dad wouldn't say who he voted for and his mom would vote for whoever the kids favored. Rove says the children liked the republicans in '74, so mom voted a straight republican ticket that year. Another year the kids liked eldridge cleaver, so mom voted for him.

Firing those who didn't comply is one thing. What may be more interesting is the AGs who DID kow-tow under pressure from the White House as was the case in New Jersey where the AG leaked damaging info to the press about a Dem 2 weeks before the election. That the real story in my mind.

Drum posted this earlier:
In statewide and federal cases they found a total of 66 investigations. Here's the breakdown:
*
Democrats: 36
*
Republicans: 30
This is roughly what you'd expect. Democrats are slightly overrepresented compared to their actual numbers, but only by a bit. There's nothing fishy. But the numbers for local cases paint a very different story. They found 309 investigations, broken down as follows:
Democrats: 262
Republicans: 37
Independents: 10
Now isn't that odd? At the local level, even though both parties make up about half of all elected officials, Democrats get hammered and Republicans are left alone. Shields and Cragan offer up the following hypothesis:
We believe that this tremendous disparity is politically motivated and it occurs because the local (non-statewide and non-Congressional) investigations occur under the radar of a diligent national press. Each instance is treated by a local beat reporter as an isolated case that is only of local interest....[Conversely] because the investigations of state-wide and federal elected officials and candidates occurred within the radar of the national press, there was little room for nefarious, out-of-line investigations for political purposes on the part of the Bush Justice Department.

Moreover, the purged also thought that Democrats should not be investigated when there wasn't any evidence to justify it.
What an asshole!

Four marriages - what's with these wingers and their inability to stay married?
And has Horowitz ever thought that the one wife had a drug problem for a good reason - i.e. being married to him?
The Habeas Corpus thing just fucking shocked me.
My fantasy is when a Democrat becomes president the first thing he (or she does) is declare the highest-ranking republican an enemy of the state and imprison him. After the shitstorm and about a week of imprisonment, the republican is then released and the Democrat says, "See what a bad idea all of this was? Undo this now."
I know it'll never happen, but I can dream.
Blair and NuLab have being doing their best to criminalize human behavior and stifle dissent.

Well, then why do they even mention voting at all?
Because it forms the basis of how we select the people in the Federal government, so there has to be some coordination.
And why are the states responsible for federal elections?
Because that's where all elections happen. Note that we didn't even have direct election of Senators for a long time, and still don't for Prez. All that stuff was left to State leg. Reason being they wanted the Feds to be beholden to the States. Part of the strong state government approach pre-Civil War.
trifecta, how are you and your family doing?
and doing their best to shackle the population to the state capitalist system.
You'll also note we have a number of amendments that deny certain bars to voting.
The bars are only set on race and gender. So long as you write the law stripping the right to vote away from the people you want to disenfranchise so that it doesn't mention race or gender, you can do it.

poll_N.htm
WASHINGTON — President Bush, in a bitter showdown with Congress over Iraq, has crept up a speck from an all-time low in his job approval rating. But his standing is the weakest of any second-term president at this point in 56 years.
The numbers in the latest AP-Ipsos poll gave the White House little reason for cheer as Bush opened a week-long visit to Latin America to bolster U.S. influence in the face of rising anti-American sentiment.
Weighed down by the unpopular war in Iraq, which is about to begin its fifth year, and opposition to his decision to send more troops into combat, Bush had an approval rating of 35% in early March. Still, that was up from 32% in February when his rating was tied for an all time low in AP-Ipsos polling...
By Gallup's measure, Bush's numbers are the lowest for any president in the third March of his second term since Harry Truman in March, 1951, when his approval rating was 28%.
The comparable numbers for other second-term presidents at this point were: Clinton 65% in March 1999, Reagan 45% in March 1987, Johnson 46% in March 1967 and Eisenhower 50% in March 1959.

Pretty much. Go see that note I posted. It's from the site I cite whenever the Constitution comes up.

Begging the question - assumes there is a namestealer
I interviewed with the local US Attorney for an assistant job in 1982. I was offered the job and turned it down. Everyone thought I was nuts because I had a pretty lowly state ass't DA job. Although I had disclosed, or probably radiated, that I'm a big ol' fucking hippy democrat, I got the heebee-jeebees from the USA. The words "selective prosecution" just kind of rattled around in my head.
That, and he asked me if I had a boyfriend.
I have never regretted my decision.
Don't sit with your thumb up your ass waiting for that to happen, okay?
Because it's really going to get terribly uncomfortable for you.
Listen, if he can go around for days with a butt plug in there, I don't think a thumb's gonna make him too twitchy.
It turns out that there is a little known provision in the PATRIOT Act that declares trolls cannot be namestolen because they are trolls so we can do anything we want.

ql's point is that the media conveniently uses such tragedies to hype to avoid doing any real journalism on issues which affect the well-boing of the nation.
I like the name Devizes. I've been pronouncing it in my mind like "devises", but I could be all wrong.
Worldwide, there are approximately 107 deaths per minute.
A Norman castle was built in Devizes by Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury in 1080, and as such, the town does not feature in the Domesday Book. Because the castle was located on the boundaries of the manors of Rowde, Bishops Cannings and Potterne it became known as the castrum ad divisas or the castle at the boundaries, hence the name Devizes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devizes
I think "deveezes", but who knows?

Olmert 'planned Lebanon war before soldiers' kidnap'
Ehud Olmert's decision to go to war in Lebanon in response to abductions of soldiers was taken as early as March 2006, according to a leak of his evidence to the commission investigating the war.
The report means that the military strategy was decided more than three months before it was triggered by Hizbollah's abductions of two soldiers on Israel's northern border in July. Israeli officials said this was broadly in line with what the Prime Minister has already told the cabinet.
(snip)
The Israeli military said last night it was looking into a report by the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem that it used an 11-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy and a 24-year-old man as "human shields" while searching for gunmen in its sweep of Nablus last month.

Whilst on my college choir tour in 1987, we spent three weeks in the hinterlands of England. One town where we sang was Budleigh Salterton, in Devon, IIRC.

"Cool," says I, "then you can call him "Bud."
"No," my friend replied drolly, "I will call him Budleigh Salterton."
I think that if seventeen dwarves were killed in a tragic blimp accident, that would be newsworthy too.

I believe CNN's corporate HQ is still in Atlanta, isn't it?
If so, they could have done a real service to their community by showing the dangers of that particular off-ramp.
But, no. They went for the blood and gore angle.
The trolls are a dead species. Shoelimpy and analannie represent an obscure Xian sect that has died out -- the others are merely a waste of space, not to worry.
The tag line on their blog is “Our nation must come together to unite” - George W. Bush.
How can they possibly be real.

OT: Lord Levy has fuelled fears he is about to turn on the Labour Party after telling friends he is furious at the lack of public support from senior ministers.
The cash-for-honours investigation increasingly threatens to split Tony Blair's inner circle asunder in a welter of recrimination.
Friends and family of the two key suspects, Lord Levy and Ruth Turner, fought a battle for public sympathy last week as the show of unity began to unravel.
Now a cabinet minister close to Tony Blair's chief fundraiser has raised the stakes, telling The Independent on Sunday that Lord Levy "feels badly let down".
"He feels that he has given the party everything. He's helped raise between £60m and £80m for us. Without that money we might not be in government, and yet people are not standing by him.

Let's suppose there were no lights or signals at that crossing. There's your national story. There are still crossings all over the country with NO signals. That seems like a worthy cause for federal funding.
THE NEWS (from Madsen) Perhaps one reason why they shouldn't be allowed to become so wealthy?
March 9-11, 2007 -- Antigua assault by Texas billionaire now engulfing other Caribbean nations. The story about Bush Texas crony "Sir" R. Allen Stanford buying up land in Antigua and attempting to take control of Leeward Islands Air Transport (LIAT) is having repercussions beyond Antigua and Barbuda. The Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Dr. Ralph Gonsalves of the Unity Labour Party, a one-time Marxist professor at the University of the West Indies who is nicknamed "Comrade Ralph," has provided details to Stanford's attempt to acquire LIAT:
However, political leaders in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are already smelling a rat. WMR previously reported on Stanford's ties to Bush and the GOP and U.S. ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Mary Ourisman, being a professional board member and wealthy contributor for the Bush administration. We have also learned that Stanford flew members of the U.S. Congress to Antigua on his private jet for junkets.

British soldiers returning from war are suffering unprecedented levels of mental health problems amid claims that the long-standing "military covenant" guaranteeing them proper care is in tatters.
More than 21,000 full-time servicemen and women who have served in Iraq, as well as army reservists, have developed anxiety and depression, an Independent on Sunday investigation can reveal today.
Official figures suggest two dozen military personnel have killed themselves since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 a figure which includes 17 confirmed suicides and six where inquests are pending. Combat Stress, the charity for war veterans suffering from mental problems, has warned that it is seeing an annual rise of 26 per cent in its caseload; more than 1,000 former soldiers are homeless.

Fuck the newsmakers! They are fucking fucky pants liars who lie to the American people and try to fuck the world over.
Wow... I knew the newsmakers were liars, but now come to find out that they're actually fucking fucky pants liars... it's too much; I can't wrap my head around it. But it's coming from Terry C-- the real Terry C, mind you-- so it must be the truth.
This is really bad-- it changes everything. I'm not sure there's a way to beat fucking fucky pants liars. 
Whilst on my college choir tour in 1987, we spent three weeks in the hinterlands of England. One town where we sang was Budleigh Salterton, in Devon, IIRC.
My friend said he wanted to name a son "Budleigh Salterton" someday.
"Cool," says I, "then you can call him "Bud."
"No," my friend replied drolly, "I will call him Budleigh Salterton."
Inexplicably, I always wanted a daughter, whom I would name Amaranth Victoria.
I have absolutely no idea.

I hate Bush. All bush. Presidents named Bush, governors named bush, little bushy trees, women, shrubs, they encompass all that is wrong and evil in this world. Hate is all I have, hate is all I am. Impeach Libby! Hang Cheney for Treason! Kill Condi!
People are always getting killed by trains in NJ. Someone got killed 2 days ago, but CNN owes them an apology for not broadcasting the story.
And in this wierd story a few months ago, a person got killed by a train, so a second train was sent to transfer the passengers to, and that train struck and killed a second person. A lot more interesting than a bus accident, if you ask me.
Interstate highway accident=national story.

And then the Atriots engage in one of their favorite games, which is to huddle and discuss who the "troll" might actually be, because in their mind there are only one or two people who come to "their" site and disagree with them. Therefore, it must be a person using various personas to post and disagree with them. Narcissism at it's best. The sad part of it is, these people are completely serious about it.

Interpreters working for African Union (AU) troops in the troubled Sudanese region of Darfur have gone on strike over unpaid wages.
Some 150 Sudanese interpreters who translate between AU troops and non-Arabic-speaking refugees say they have not been paid for three months.
But an AU official said they had been paid in January.
Nurredin Mezzni said the African Union was facing financial difficulties and other staff were also affected.

Very cool! I know all about Stephen and Matilda from reading that Brother Cadfael medieval mystery series. | Karin
And I know Matilda from this:
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,

Woody, I sent it to your link at your blog. It was about what if anything you know about Dominici and the 900 mile right of way/easement litigation between the Navajo tribe and the El Paso Natural Gas Co.
I learned about this from an excellent two day seminar on "doing business in Indian Country" sponsored by the Muscogee Creek Nation in Okmulgee last week. I was just blown away with how excellent it was.
I questioned the professor about the political implications and wanted a NM person to see what's up with Dominici, seeing how he's already known to be involved in the US Attorney firings, how might he have been manipulating that 2005 Energy Whatever Act that favored the bidness industries over the tribe, OR, was he taking some of that sweet, sweet Abramoff Indian money to work both sides of the street, so to speak.

Rumsfeld and Top GOP Figures Profited from Privatization of VA Hospital, CIA Contractors
A large global hedge fund, Cerberus Capital Management (dba, Cerberus-Gabriel), is at the center of an emerging Pentagon and CIA contracting scandal that has the attention of three Congressional Committees.
In each case, the companies under investigation have links to prominent GOP figures, including Vice President Dick Cheney, former Vice President Dan Quayle, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and several Republican Congressmen indicted for corruption involving kickbacks from defense contractors. The Republican Congressional Campaign Commitee (RCCC) has also received substantial contributions from conservative fund managers running Cerberus, a virually unregulated $30 billion hedge fund, which owns the second largest bank in Israel.
This scandal involves the mismanagement of VA hospital facilities privatized during the Bush-Cheney Administration, as well as intelligence abuses by private CIA contractors.

Feh, we have "Puslinch", pronounced by everyone that isn't a scum-sucking yuppie as "pus-lynch"
if your from Wiltshire and especially Devizes, your known as a Moonrakers.
Moonrakers is the colloquial name for people from Wiltshire. This refers to a folk story set in the time when smuggling was a significant industry in rural England. The story goes that some local people had hidden contraband goods from customs officers in a pond. While trying to retrieve it at night, they were caught by the revenue men, but explained by pointing to the moon's reflection and saying they were trying to rake in a cheese. The excise men, thinking they were simple, laughed at them and went on their way.
