I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Good Evening
I'm back
That's a little complicated for a Friday night.
well, that was clear...
Fore!
Um, I'm confused?
And what the fuck does that have to do with Wiley and Gizmo?
I'd like to take this opportunity to stat that Larry Niven is The Man.
stat. I mean state.
not stat.

I understood Atrios' post less than when he's talking economics.
Who says the blogosphere needs reforming? Is this like "reforming" Social Security?
On the plus side, my son and I are going sledding tomorrow morning.
So what's happening on liberal mountain?

Today on K.O., Larry Johnson referred to Victoria Hangnail as a "twit".
I feel that is very insulting to this guy:

Wankers.
Next question?
Um, I'm confused?
Hi, noblejoanie, I'm GW, and I'm always confused.
My friends tell me it's part of my charm, but I think they may be bullshitting me.
PS Come home, Yellow Bar! All is forgiven!
So full of shit that their eyes are brown.
The assinine thing about this is what the fuck is a "blog" anyway? It's a website. Should Myspace get regulated? YouTube? Anything they decide to regulate can easily be worked around by changing how the information dissemination occurs on the internet. Blogs are just the vogue method, but they don't have to be the format used.
These power elite assholes can bite my shiny metal ass, they're just trying to suppress the speech of those they can't control.
Yellow bar is a coward.
Seriously. Fridays suck.
No eatage on teevee, and CNN has the Donald. Most Haunted is a rerun.
Why don't I just hammer a nail into my temple? it would be less painful.

Today on K.O., Larry Johnson referred to Victoria Hangnail as a "twit".
Nice and concise.
I like that.
And yet, the Campaign Legal Center studiously avoided directly answering whether it believed that sites like DailyKos should be regulated under campaign finance law, stating that they were focused on protecting what "individuals" did on "their own" sites. Paul, now that you've seen the 2004 and 2006 cycles, are you finally convinced that such sites should be left alone?
Do what? DKos failed supporting candidates. It's like 0 - 253. Honestly, we have trolls constantly reminding us how our candidates always loose.
Seriously, that's even how they spell: loose.
That's a little complicated for a Friday night.

Just what I was thinking.
Friend died Tuesday, went to ATL to help widow and kids do stuff, widow drunk and difficult for three days, left today at 3, sat in traffic for two hours, couldn't get home, in interstate motel, tired and pissed.

That sounds like a rough week, Virginia. At least the motel has internet. Gonzales has one foot out the door, and the banana peel is being prepared.

No.

She doesn't mean any harm though.
Did he actually or figuratively eviscerate her? I hope the former. With his hair.

A woman I knew in high school had, for some reason, a lion cub she was raising. A friend was terrified of cats, period, and this particular kitty in particular. It used to love to stalk him and try to attack him.
She passed it along to someone who was able to care for an actual LION before it was too big. And while I'm thinking about it, can you imagine being so spoiled that you could say, "Daddy, I want a lion!" and GET one?

NTodd nails a metaphor the fuckin' wall:
The "not turning the other cheek and beating the shit out of somebody we don't like" by proxy is also amusing. No, see, it's okay to hit somebody first if you can somehow create a claim ex nihilo and ex post facto that they were gonna hit somebody else, and if they hit you back for preventing them from not doing nothing then they're not turning the other cheek and therefore deserve to be hit before they don't turn the other cheek that you didn't hit.

My little niece was naked for nearly her whole toddlerhood. Made it easier to pee in the yard, apparently.
I think you're right, 1watt, the dump was delayed because, as usual, they were breaking the law. Ordinarily, this would not bother them, but now everybody's watching, since they lost the Congress in '06. Now they can't dump. Some W's bitch we are, heheheh.

I'd almost bet Karl loses his security clearance soon. Can he hold his current job w/o it? One wouldn't think a political adviser would need one.
Today Waxman sent a letter to the Shite House in which he says:
Taken as a whole, the testimony at today's hearing described breach after breach of national security requirements at the White House. The first breach was the disclosure of Ms. Wilson's identity. Other breaches included the failure of Mr. Rove and other officials to report their disclosures as required by law, the failure of the White House to initiate the prompt investigation required by the executive order, and the failure of the White House to suspend the security clearances of the implicated officials.
To assist the Committee in its investigation into these issues, I request that you provide the Committee with a complete account of the steps that the White House took following the disclosure of Ms. Wilson's identity (1) to investigate how the leak occurred; (2) to review the security clearances of the White House officials implicated in the leak; (3) to impose administrative or disciplinary sanctions on the officials involved in the leak; and (4) to review and revise existing White House security procedures to prevent future breaches of national security.
So I'm trying to help out the New Orleans bloggers on their big faulty pumps story. There is two twists to the story that seem like something out of a movie.
MWI (Moving Water Industries) is the maker of said faulty water pumps. CEO of MWI was formerly a business partner with Jeb Bush. MWI currently under investigation by the DoJ, (but Jeb is not mentioned in the suit. How conVEEEEENient. )
After MWI get busted for the faulty pumps by the blogger Matt McBride ( with a memo from the Army Corps of Engineers inspector) the MWI lawyer puts out a release talking about how everything is just fine.
So guess who this lawyer is? The same lawyer who was the lead on getting Bush elected in South Florida in 2000.
Small world. eh.

Yes, Disney and ABC are to be commended for their scratch-marks on the bottom of the barrel.
And how does "responsible journalism" as represented by Martha Radditz and Dan Rather respond to FOX Noise? They think everyone should treat them as a respectable news outlet.

Oh and Bill O'Reilly and Hannity must be paraded down a main street
People shoud laugh at them whenever they see them in the street. Point. And laugh.
That's all the punishment it will take. They will not endure that for long.
And this is my favorite part
in the story. From the amended DOJ lawsuit against MWI:
Between 1985 and 1993, the government says, Eller flew on his company plane to the Bahamas and to Grand Cayman, once with a "large suitcase filled with currency" and once with a "large duffel bag or suitcase filled with currency." At both places, a chauffeured limousine whisked him and the money away. Eller told his pilot he was "moving his assets out of the United States," the lawsuit contends, calling it an effort to shield the money from creditors.
Eller's lawyer,William Scherer, said the flights never occurred and neither Eller nor MWI has accounts in either country.
Hmmmm.
So neither Eller nor MWI has accounts in either country. Fine, but does that mean that there is NO third party company, person or entity that has the money? And what if it isn't in an account but a locked room in a hotel (hey I saw the Firm too!)
Valerie cute!

Clinton was an unlikely warrior. I think he went on thinking he was going to talk about his "global initiative", and Wallace ambushed him. That's what pissed him off, the fact that Wallace lied to him, not that he was going to take on Fox.

Fraking Maher. I think it was time to strike a blow at Fox as the propaganda outlet it is.
BTW, when Matt Drudge's old buddy, Andrew Breitbart, was whispering in Rush's ear that "Bill Maher is saying that Dick Cheney should have died" he was trying to get Maher in trouble.
Of course Maher should have called him out on it, but I guess I didn't give them enough audio proof.

That actually supports the argument to avoid FOX Noise. FOX set a trap for Clinton, but Clinton was singularly capable of effectively striking back. Doubt everyone can do that.

What's amazing to me is that every single crony corp. Bush has tossed a plum contract at has completely fucked up the job. In NOLA and Iraq. Law of averages should dictate that at least one of them wouldn't fuck it up - not because they give a shit but simply because they want to keep the contract and avoid all that nasty litigation/investigation business.
Maher's roundtable all agrees the dems are cowards for not debating on Fox.
That was what Jon Stewart said. It's maddening, and it's exactly the kind of precision talking point adherence that in another circumstance would get a Daily Show skewering. Every informed person knows Faux is not an honest dealer and only lets you on to drop you out a window, but suddenly otherwise intelligent people are trapped in an adolescent's first civics class and "debate" is some kind of untouchable self-justifying virtue.

And at the age of 14, the kids get all copies and negatives, cd's or other media.
Dems are Americans for not debating on Fox. Fox is a foreign, treasonous, anti-American bullshit collection of liars and traitors. Fox is for losers. Only losers watch it, and only losers work for it.
""Fox should also be required to have a "paid political advertisement" bug on the screen at all times"
it would seem to me that if fux was such a great idea and doing so well, there'd be one fuck of a lot of money to be made with a liberal alternative. why can't someone do that?

This begs a couple of questions: Why was a company under DOJ investigation for such serious charges given a major federal contract for New Orleans reconstruction in the first place? And why is the DOJ suit against MWI still unresolved after so many years?

Personally, I think Clinton was going to talk about "bipartisanship" (Laura Bush gave the keynote speech at Clinton's global initiative). He may have even said to Wallace "both sides need to stop politicising terror". You know how Bill loves to triangulate.

No, bleed Fox dry. Shun them. Stop treating them like a real news organization.
By the way - not everyone who works there is a loser. I know a lot of people over there who took the gig because production jobs are hard to come by. They know what's going on, but need a paycheck. Fox does treat their people like shit, but that's S.O.P. in cable news.
You know something about Clinton was that he could take a punch from the press. Bush is WAY too fragile, so they control the interviews and the box ALL THE TIME. Why? Because if they didn't you would see how fragile he gets when they don't listen to him and ask follow-up that are polite.
They control the audiences under the guise of national security. They control who talks to him. Remember that Irish reporter who asked him tough questions?
They cut her access off after that interview.
Funny -- I remember Clinton getting snarked at for being "angry" with Chris Wallace.

I remember the very first time I stumbled across Fox News. It was in Wyoming, in 1998. Within about five minutes, less, even, I knew what it was all about. It's that obvious. What's hilarious is that now, nearly nine years later, they're totally getting called on it - and it makes Roger Ailes bugfuck insane with rage. I think he senses the party is nearly over.
The shame of it all is that it took nine years for the Dems to figure out what took me all of five minutes back in 1998.

Why? Because they are only given one question. If Bush dodges it once he can usually skate because all the other reporters are holding out THEIR special ONE question and they don't want to give it up to let someone else get THEIR question asked.

Conason would of course be excellent, but actually someone who could hand feed back in the ear at the same time would be even better, that is a TV thing. You need someone who can multitask. (For the person who made the comment above about the lump in the back. HA! I wish that I had a spectrum analyser during that debate and caught that feed with Rove whispering in the background."
And the deal with the wingnut having the same resources? Nah they would just lie and say they got it from CNS (Conservative News Service) they have absolutely no incentive to use real source. I heard on wing-nut radio just the other day. 'Valerie wasn't covert." How much clearer can you be?
But they don't care there are no consequences for them lying. They are an "entertainment medium" not a news show. They call themselves a news show but they don't really have to meet any "news standard." There aren't really any News police for them talk radio set. And they are the place millions get their news from.
You know how they love to throw that stat around "Kids get their news from the Daily Show!" like it is so terrible? What about the MILLIONS who get their news from Rush and Hannity and the other lesser lights? THAT is what is really tragic.

ROTFLOL! Ok, ok, my poor memory's shot, that wasn't in the Nightline report, they were talking about men's other status symbols, like cars. Here's the link to the story.

Hey Tobes
"They are usually cylindrical — about eight centimeters in diameter, two centimeters thick, and weigh about one hundred grams when new. This shape is the source of their more informal name, as they somewhat resemble small cakes. They are generally pink in color, although other colours, such as green, blue and white, are seen.
The chemicals composing the block may vary. The base is commonly pure paradichlorobenzene or naphthalene. The block's functionality is enhanced by saturating it with a scenting compound and quaternary ammonium compounds. Urinal blocks of the size listed above and made of this chemical usually last 30–60 days."

WABC-AM in NYC runs Hannity, O'Reilly, and O'Reilly back-to-back, in a six-hour block. That's insane. It's like some kind of Maoist re-education.
There is a fascinating episode in Thermopylae that forms a climax in Gates of Fire: an elite detachment of Spartans actually shows up in the Persian commander's tent in the middle of the night, screw things up like a fraternity prank, mark a post holding up the tent so it can't be denied, and make it back to their lines. Since 300 is about nakedly resurrecting Nazism and all Frank Miller can comprehend is mass lynchings and boobies, this is not even mentioned, even though it would be a far more exciting action sequence than say waves of black-faced red shirts getting mowed down by the superior white men.

"French PM calls for Iraq withdrawal
George Bush, the US president, has ordered an additional 21,500 soldiers into combat in Iraq [AFP]
Dominique de Villepin, the French prime minister, has urged the United States and other foreign nations to withdraw from Iraq in 2008 and said the war had "shattered" America's image abroad.
"The Iraqi conflict ... is sapping the power of the United States to peacefully influence other players in the troubled Middle East," he said on Friday.
"The war with Iraq marked a turning point. It shattered America's image," Villepin, who opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq, told an audience at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
"It undermined the image of the West as a whole. It is time for the United States and Europe to regain together the respect and admiration of the other people.""

dan mcenroe
You are SOOO right Dan. (And by the way Dan's a brilliant video making guy folks!)
I was thinking about the way that Radio works like hypnosis the other day.
The latest research on the brain looked at two people. A democrat and a republican. The democrat saw a republican ad and his critical thinking centers lit up. A republican saw a republican ad and the critical thinking centers did NOT light up. (Sounds like a joke, but sadly the same is true for a democrat watching a democratic ad.)
But the point is that if you already somewhat BELIEVE in something you will let it into you head with little examination. And that is one way that radio work. Also they repetition of key words and ideas.
Rush also uses a technique where is isn't AGAINST something as much as he is FOR something else. So it's not that the people in NO are lazy, it's just that the people in Mississippi are the "pick themselves up from their bootstrap types". And even people who should KNOW better often fall for it because they too believe that people should be "self starters"
Hi, all, and greetings from chilly southern Indiana.
Made it safely ... I've even managed to get riled up (or, for Steve's benefit, irked) about some blatantly ignorant/biased reporting on the Plame testimony.

The completely untrue story of Catherine's death by horsefracking was the 17th century equivalent of Frank Miller drawing a Wonder Woman cover that had a skeleton chained to a wall in Diana Prince's one-piece, penetrated through the solar plexus by a rusting sword. Leaving the sex stuff think of how nobody in the tv is allowed to mention Michael Moore without reassuring the audience redundantly that Moore is unhinged and not serious (as opposed to that self-hating faggot Ann Coulter).

I was thinking about asking people what kind of panels or speaker they would like to hear for Eschacon.
"In Bush administration eyes, KSM, al-Qaeda's former chief of operations, is the ultimate "enemy combatant". KSM had already "confessed" to being the brain of the September 11, 2001, attacks when he was captured in Pakistan in 2002 - in a prosaic police operation, and not by any "shock and awe" from above....
KSM's "confession" comes courtesy of a Pentagon that already gave the world Abu Ghraib in Baghdad, Bagram in Kabul, Guantanamo, "extraordinary rendition" and extreme variations of handsomely paid subcontracted torture. According to Human Rights Watch, waterboarding "really amounts to a mock execution, which is illegal under international law". Those who believe KSM was not tortured in his more than four years in Pakistan and in Guantanamo may also believe in Spider Man. The CIA, just in case, also kidnapped both of his sons - one is seven, the other is nine.
The impeccable timing - although more than four years late - of KSM's "confession" also happens to knock the scandal surrounding US President George W Bush's chief law enforcer and torture apologist, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, off the media cycle."

"As a board, we decided to move CNN to the first row. This decision was based on CNN's 27 years of covering The White House, as well as the resources it brings to the in-town and travel pool, and its daily presence at the briefings. In addition, the board agreed to honor a previous commitment by our association to maintain Helen Thomas' seat in the first row. As the dean of the White House press corps, Helen is an institution. First with United Press International and now as a White House columnist for Hearst newspapers, Helen has covered every president since John Kennedy."

"Republican support for Gonzales erodes By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer
56 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The White House dropped its contention Friday that former Counsel Harriet Miers first raised the idea of firing U.S. attorneys, blaming "hazy memories" as e-mails shed new light on Karl Rove's role. Support eroded further for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Presidential press secretary Tony Snow previously had asserted Miers was the person who came up with the idea, but he said Friday, "I don't want to try to vouch for origination." He said, "At this juncture, people have hazy memories."" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/

Comics are never happy. It's true that they really have a lot of self loathing, and nothing really lessens it. Who knows why? I've met several. I think it's because a lot of them hate the fact that deep down they want to be liked by everyone, and that eats away at them.

why would a perfesser of law have any interest in the United States Attorneys?

Published: Friday March 16, 2007
In testimony given today before the house oversight committee, James Knodell, Director of the Office of Security at the White House, revealed that the the administration had never launched an internal probe to determine the source for the outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame in 2003. In addition to revealing a deep reluctance on the part of the administration in determining the party responsible for the leak, Knodell's testimony directly contradicted a prior statement from President Bush promising a full internal probe." http://rawstory.com/news/2007/

Most comedians are very insecure. They're needy people, and they need that adulation when they get the crowd rolling.
If you really want to succeed (artistically and otherwise) in the entertainment industry, you really have to have a hell of a lot esteem, because people cut you down all the time, especially if they feel threatened by you...

He browbeat this guy mercilessly.
I wish I had it on tape. It was truly stunning to listen too.
One of his tricks is to find a connection to some horrible thing (in this case terrorism) and get you to defend terrorists if you are defending Muslims. He was focusing on some CAIR connections with Terrorists.
So let's postulate that this person who is a right wing radio host is a closeted gay. You know how he will get away with it when he is outed?

Look. I mean that's a rational position and all, but if we are OK with our own gayness, then we have to accept the gayness in other people. If we do that, then we are well down that slippery slope to not being able to bash gays to death or support those who do. After all, we might then end up as one of those gay guys hung on a fence post in the HeartLand (tm).
And that's not the end of it. If we can't then hate gays because we accept our own innate gayness, then what about those of other religions? How can we hate them if we ourselves happen to be fond of a particular religion? With that sort of eccumenical tolerance, there is simply no stopping before wallowing in the bottom-muck of racial tolerance. How then are we to exercise the stunningly poor, ignorant white hicks so they will consistently vote against their self-interests?
Fuck! At that point we might as well sit around the campfire singing kumbaya! And I don't even know the words...

This won't surprise anyone, but the Bush administration never did any of their own investigative work on the Plume leak. They didn't even try and make it look like they were doing something.

It would not have taken a reportorial genious to do a series of front page stories rebutting the claims of the Bushies. Granted Sy Hersh is a reportorial genious, but that's his gig; it isn't a requirement. Even that dirtbag Woodward did some decent stories early on before he got sucked in by the Dark Side.

Wee-hah! First day off work in 10. And a day with built-in excuse to drink too, St. Patrick Day.
Good morning, any who are here. What topics hold your attention this early a.m.?

Not much this early, besides the usual psycho-babble.

St. Patrick's Day! Never much celebrated it (can take or leave corned beef) even when in the clutches of a nominally "Irish" city. Woo Hoo, I guess.
Oh boy... 60 million cans of dog & cat food recalled:

Clicked on the pet food link, and everything but the story came up. Any remembrance of what brands?
Here's the linkee to the company recall site:

We're clear on it, thankfully.
Yeah, sometimes The Detroit News links are really borked.
Clear too, my dog would be glad to know.
An entire weekend of scandal swirling round the White House. The more things change....
Thanks for the pet food recall link. Our brand isn't on the list.
I enjoyed yesterday soooooooo much. Keep them coming. I was really afraid that Valerie would have a squeaky voice or lisp or something. It was a relief to see and hear her.
Ms. Wilson was superb in testimony, the cracker Republic inquisitors, hard to take from my perspective, and the White House did no more to clear up the US Atty's mess.
Whoops, sorry to be gone so long, but i went for coffee and ibuprofen (all the work days have bunged the back something fierce).
the White House did no more to clear up the US Atty's mess.
The White House wants the mess to stay on the (expendable) US Attorney, not be tracked back.

So, does Abu stay or go. Remember kiddies, I've been saying all along, the first term w put his "A" team in place, and what a pathetic group of losers they were. Now we're seeing his "B" team and they are worse exponentially. God help up us when he puts the "C" team out there.
I vote Abu stays. Harriet is gone and he needs his Texas fluffers around him.
Given all of today to line up their ducks I expect the usual cast of lakeys will be singing the same tune on tomorrow morning's shows.
- the White House respectfully disputes Miss Plame's statements
- nobody cares
- we told you this would happen if Dems got control of Congress
All in perfect harmony. I wonder what the Repug/Dem ratio is going to be?
.
On Abu, dunno. More worried about the cold that is trying to take up residence in head and chest. It's been a long time since I've had one, and this one seems to be having a bit of trouble taking hold, with only a mild fever and sniffles thus far.
Abu is there as a stool magnet. As the shit begins to fly, Bushco needs someone for it to stick to - for long enough to finish the term and cash out, anyway.
i vote Abu stays a while, until they have something that requires an *immediate* sacrificial lamb.
And this pet food recall - given pet food standards, what the hell was in that recalled stuff? Razor blades? Polonium?

And what was it with her and all that swinging 'hand jive' while she spoke?

Most memorable moment in the hearings:
Towards the end, some repub schmuck from Georgia(?) - attempted to use some previously unheard of logic, to back Valerie into a corner.
I watched her face go into a minor smirk, then skillfully hand him his ass to eat.
I thought that was great.
Victoria Toensing reminded me of a slightly medicated Pam Juggs.

Methinks they fucked with the wrong Valerie Plame.

I was surprised that they didn't have their script memorized for last night. I guess they were distracted by the US attorney purge. AO is right, by Sunday they'll have their talking points down, if they can manage to memorize points for two different scandals.

Well, see, it's "sleight-of-hand", when you have nothing true to say, you baffle them with bullshit!
Toesning is probably a smoker or an ex-smoker. Plus she's married DiGenova, who probably learned hand gestures at his nona's knee.
I saw them in the lobby of the building where I work. They were exiting the building and he very nicely asked her if she needed help carrying her briefcase and held the door for her. She kept the briefcase.

But the skill the Repugs have is to coordinate their bullshit. Make it seem universal and simple to understand and everyone says the same thing. Then of course it must be true if Rush Limbaugh AND Britt Hume are saying it.

Valeri Plame: the goops are so used to the "DC-inside-the-Beltway" games that, when their petty bullshitting has a real-world effect (outside the Beltway), they are completely nonplussed.
To them, it's like playing some videogame where they bomb Pittsburgh, and they come outside to find Pittsburg is gone. "What the hell?" they say, and "I couldn't have done that!", and "What, when did this become for real?", and on and on......

The Iraq War?
Actually, yes, quite a lot. Outside of those who had direct stakes in oil companies, and resulting interest in Iraqi oil, the most of those in DC with intent to send others to fight in Iraq was for inside-the-Beltway advantage - whether budget gains, or re-election chances, or bureaucratic growth/expansion, or to have "war" ratings for the punditry, or just to have the latest kewl project on "our" desk instead of on "their" desk.
When Americans start complaining about their kids dying for nothing - hell, when Americans start complaining about a quagmire in real-world Iraq (whic never occurrs to the bureaucrats in DC - they are 'winning', they are getting the inside-the-Beltway things they went in for in the first place) - then, yeah, the confused class of professional DC insiders DO get this puzzled look at the rest of the world getting all worked up over it......

Bush always finds a wounded war vet who can be 'repaired' with an artificial limb and return to normal life. You never see him among the hundreds of young men and women whose life-long wounds are so gruesome it would make most people puke just to see them.

When Americans start complaining about their kids dying for nothing
I told a couple republicans that last night. When they start the draft, and take your kids - then you'll be pissed enough.
Until then - it ain't happenin'.
Former CIA guy Larry Johnson has consistently stuck up for Plame since she was outted. He was on with Keith last night and typically persuasive regarding her covert status.
Cynicus, it's not just a video game, it's a war game.
Good morning Ruth! :{)}

The weird thing is those ads show military vehicles being blown up ala IED attacks. So it's perfectly OK to show that, in fact it's 'neat', but show a video of an actual IED attack against Americans and it's insurgent propaganda.

In the late 60's - early 70's, Dick Nixon used to say he could end the antiwar movement overnight. All he would have to do would be to end the draft.
As the current GOP takes all things Nixonian as unto stone tablets off Mount Ararat, i don't expect to see that draft.

Hmm. how about the draftees are exclusively the employed? further, while drafted into service, said employee has his/her job held for them at full seniority. AND while in service, pays no taxes - those are paid for them BY THEIR EMPLOYER as their "fair and patriotic contribution".

My secretary's mother called her every half hour with updates about ANS.
Victoria Toensing/'toe-nails', as a co-writer of the 1982 Intelligence Identities Protection Act, gave her interpretation of the 'covert' understand of the law, and said "Her status as undercover must be classified, and she must have been assigned to duty outside the United States currently or in the past five years. This requirement does not mean jetting to Berlin or Taipei for a week's work."....
(the 1982 Intelligence Identities Protection Act)says
(4) The term “covert agent” means—
(A) a present or retired officer or employee of an intelligence agency or a present or retired member of the Armed Forces assigned to duty with an intelligence agency—
(i) whose identity as such an officer, employee, or member is classified information, and
(ii) who is serving outside the United States or has within the last five years served outside the United States; or
(B) a United States citizen whose intelligence relationship to the United States is classified information, and—
(i) who resides and acts outside the United States as an agent of, or informant or source of operational assistance to, an intelligence agency, or
(ii) who is at the time of the disclosure acting as an agent of, or informant to, the foreign counterintelligence or foreign counter terrorism components of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; or
(C) an individual, other than a United States citizen, whose past or present intelligence relationship to the United States is classified information and who is a present or former agent of, or a present or former informant or source of operational assistance to, an intelligence agency.

Duncan Black, an economist who writes as Atrios on his website, Eschaton, receives hundreds of comments for almost anything he posts. Thursday morning, he posted a short note saying he would not be writing much that day as he was going to be traveling. Within the hour, 492 people posted comments on that. A political reporter at a metropolitan daily might not get that much reader response in a year.

And I'm having yoghurt for breakfast, saving up for a pasta lunch.
I think it's important to repeatedly get this straight, especially on this historic day of protest, because the propaganda quotient deliberately obsuring it is so intentionally dense:
An overwhelming number of those of us who oppose this administration and this war are NOT "against" the military per se. Both my dad and my uncle were decorated vets. Dad nearly lost his legs taking a nazi bunker, and my uncle flew 32 missions over Germany, without a scratch. 1 mission in a glass nose through that flack was enough to emotionally destroy if it didn't kill many vets. Both of them were vehemently opposed to Viet Nam, which they correctly saw as immoral and unjustified, and it's the same thing with Iraq. Personally, I'm a pacifist, but I'm also a very experienced, certified, and accurate shot with a variety of firearms, and I definitely would defend my country against any agression on our soil. I eat meat, but I just don't believe in killing human beings unless it is justified beyond any possible doubt, which this entire thing is not. It's purely fabricated BUSINESS, and that is immoral and wrong. All that aside, I and millions like me fully definitely do "support" our troops, and so we express our support for them by demanding that our leaders not use them as connonfodder.
That is all.

I actually listened to the first hour of Hannitty's radio show yesterday. He stated that Valerie was not covert, all her friends and neighbors knew of her work, she was a desk jockey, and finally, Victoria Toesing did a great job in the hearings.

That a given, yes. They both just got megapets (that's why I vanished for a few).

I'll have to stop by Saranac Lake on my next trip south.
So, a friend is telling me about this bread of dog specific to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, called a duck toller. Sort of a small retriever. I've been thinking about getting a dog, and she says there's a bunch of these guys sitting in the pound down there. Anyone know anything about them?
okay, now I got your email, and answered, Diane. Hope you all can manage a EschaCal out there.
And a wren is singing right outside my window.
School Bus Terror Threat! on CNN now!
What will we tell the children?
At present, my pancreas has not given out completely, so I am not insulin-dependent, and a bit of a drinker.
Retrievers are great, you should keep in mind that they need to have chewtoy things to carry, it keeps their fetching urges in hand.

Yep, I just checked out this Ubaldi guy's website, via Google advanced search, and guess how many mentions of Walter Reed are there?

Just read the LA Times article on blogging. Kind of eerie to think there are tens of thousands of people who read the comments and never post.

I am still laughing at that story, Cookie.
I remember vividly the school bus driver from my Jr. High days: it was a second job for him and he slept through most of the route.
He kept all of us kids terrorized the whole time as we rode a bus careening around the quiet streets of Milwaukee.
I am actually eating spaghetti-os. I am a sick person.

The birds up here are love-crazy this week!
ql, ChiDyke even put a post in encouraging people who never comment to tell her what they like to see, something (anything) and telling them there are No Dumb Comments - got a few shaken out of the woodworks.
Their sky is full of flying spaghetti monsters, can't tell what color it is.
The birds up here are love-crazy this week
And the frogs in our two ponds are all but drowning the birds out.

Actually, Sarah; you must be rather well if you can safely eat Spaghetti-O's!

As a preteen, I used to love the spaghetti & meatballs that came in a can. Maybe next time Mr. QL is off and I'm dining alone I'll try it again. Has to be at least 40 years since I've had. I tried a Swanson fried chicken dinner a few weeks ago and it tasted like comfort food.
spaghetti-O's pro'ly bettter for you than any number of 'cereals' - once a year my hyperactive kids got to eat the sugarsoaks that all their friends lived on. They were bonkers. Called it Freak Week.
Oh, almost forgot to fulfill the obligatory duty we here at Eschaton all swear a printed and filed oath on to reply specifically to the content of each and every post by our infallible leader designated by our master Mr. Atrios. Sorry about that, to all fellow Atriots, it was my error, and I beg your kind pardon. It won't happen again, ok? I hope to make up for breaking the rules with the following, which I hope you find acceptable:
You can regulate my American Constitutional freedom of speech on blogs when you pry my keyboard from my cold dead hands.

I have faith that any busload of middle-schoolers could easily terrorize even the most hardened terrorist.
Nothing wrong with Spaghetti-O's.
Speaking of weird bird behavior - the robins are back and doing their mating rituals.

Our Mockingbirds are becoming territorial. One has taken over my parking place at work for its nesting site. The decorations it applies are not appreciated, but its multitudes of songs are. A few years ago, a cardinal did the same - and was attacking my rear view mirrors where it saw an enemy cardinal invader. I had to put bags over my mirrors to park without damage.

10 Detainees Pull Off Escape as Visitors Take Their Place
Ten Iraqis being held in a British military detention center in Basra carried out an audacious escape plan over the past several days: they switched places with visitors, British authorities said Friday.
The escape came to light on Thursday, when it became apparent that “one person was not who he said he was,” said a spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity. The military began to investigate and found that nine other detainees were also substitutes. The real ones had walked out the door, apparently after swapping clothes with their willing stand-ins, British officials said.
Cracker Barrel is strongly anti-gay, if memory serves.
I eat in Cracker Barrel myself. They serve real maple syrup. I would hate to hear they are wingnutty.
Spring, TX saying the PR type (M Morgan devotee) was saying sununu was radical when all he did was dis Abu. not approving, but didn't get vocal. I like it.
Morning, all
I'm currently awaiting the results of a complete battery of cholesterol tests that should help advise me what fats to consume.
Morning, DWD. How's your snow situation out there?
ruth, i watch the lab and remember how i used to be able to do stuff like that. and unlike living vicariously thru a teenage son playing football ( not that i ever had one ) i am not surrounded by screaming lunatic parents with blood in their eyes...
Cracker Barrel and Controversy from Wiki:
In the early 2000s and again in 2006, Cracker Barrel has faced accusations including a pattern of racial discrimination [1] in its treatment of customers. After national press attention to these accusations, the company announced explicit policies intended to address the charges, and the most prominent critics have not repeated their criticisms, but still they did end up paying $2 million for race and sexual harassment at three Illinois restaurants [2]. Stores now display a sign in their front foyer clarifying this policy, as has become the policy after a similar incident involving Denny's restaurants. In March 2006, Cracker Barrel agreed to pay $2 million to settle class allegations of sexual and racial discrimination brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC v. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc.). In October of 2006, Rose Rock, the mother of popular comedian Chris Rock, threatened legal action after she claimed that she and her daughter were discriminated against at the company's Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, restaurant [3] due to not being served for over an hour. She said when she asked the manager about the delay, the manager did not try to find the cause of the delay, but told Rock that they could have a free meal, which she refused.[4]
In 1992, Cracker Barrel instituted a policy requiring employees to display "normal heterosexual values which have been the foundation of families in our society." The company refused to change their policy in the face of protest demonstrations by gay rights groups, but in 2002, the company's stockholders voted to rescind the practice after 10 years of efforts by the New York City Employees Retirement System, a major shareholder.
Cracker Barrel was one of eight companies indicted and accused of making alleged illegal corporate campaign contributions to the Texans for a Republican Majority political action committee (TRMPAC), started by Rep. Tom DeLay.[5][6] Less than five months later, however, all charges against Cracker Barrel were dropped. In dismissing the charges on February 2, 2005, the District Attorney acknowledged that "there was no intent on the part of (Cracker Barrel) to violate any laws," and stated that the company "has demonstrated to the District Attorney that it has a history of good citizenship and high ethical standards." For its part, Cracker Barrel admitted no wrongdoing, and agreed to make a charitable contribution of $50,000 to support a "nonpartisan, balanced and publicly informative program" at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas-Austin, with the intent of reinforcing what it called its "longstanding commitment to good corporate citizenship and proper participation in the political process".

You know what they're going to recommend. Refined moose juice - that'll be the only thing they'll let you put on your Ry-crisp. And not much of it.
Good morning - 66F here, didn't quite make it to 100F yesterday, but maybe, maybe.....

From LA Times:
Marshall's use of his readers to gather information takes advantage of the interactivity that is at the heart of the Internet revolution. The amount of discourse between writers and readers on the Web makes traditional journalists look like hermetic monks.
Duncan Black, an economist who writes as Atrios on his website, Eschaton, receives hundreds of comments for almost anything he posts. Thursday morning, he posted a short note saying he would not be writing much that day as he was going to be traveling. Within the hour, 492 people posted comments on that. A political reporter at a metropolitan daily might not get that much reader response in a year.

Well, half of those were about six of us posting things like "Fuck Bush!" and recipes.

Thks, plantsman, I tho't they were run by wingers, and from the DeLay ass'n I suspect that's right, no matter what reparations they pay later.
singe, a good choice. But my kids grew up to be human beings, to much surprise.
Hmmmm.
One of the PBS shows said they were gonna get rid abu but Schumer said abu would gone in 3 days and just to prove Schumere wrong they are gonna kept abu for a while yet. Sounds about right.

IMPEACH CHENEY BUSH NOW
plame number 1 story on google news...which means 2 things: there are tons of stories written about her and that they are getting the most hits
I recall when Larry Johnson swore off MSNBC (pre-Keith) for a while because of bs from news producers there. Seeing him with Keith, and so comfy, was very nice indeed.
snake? too cold here in Bahstin. they're still Hiberniating.
Moe - strong feelings about Canada.
Moe, we also said hi to each other, which makes us not worthy of consideration. chow.
There's a plucky snowbird up in a tree outside my window, protesting.
I can hear him out there all alone, going "fuckbush fuckbush fuckbush".
He's a good 'un.

GWPDA-- that led the news Thursday night. She was stuck in the airport for a year and a half until Immigration Canada let her in. But, poor gal, on the flight to Vancouver she snuck a smoke in the restroom, so the mounties detained her on arrival for a bit. Some big wig somewhere made sure she wasn't charged, but it was kind of an ironic twist to the story: Welcome to Canada: No Smoking!
shaw, not the house snakes. and btw Diane is really looking forward to your visit. She can't get to Eschacon, and this may be her chance for a gettogether that would be great for allaya.
GWPDA, that cole slaw with blue cheese dressing sounds like a good one.

This duck toller looks like a pretty cool dog.
Actually, I made corned beef and cabbage and ate it by myself last night, since himself is out of town. I'll be eating leftovers (corned beef hash) for the next few days.
Oh, and lets not forget to wish Sean Patrick a Happy Birthday!
Dunno Ruth, can only hear him, and I only have basic ornithological knowledge, but from the sound and from what I know of the birds here in this neck of the VT woods, probably a young male crow or blackbird, mebbey a bluejay.
He is definitely saying "fuckbush fuckbush" though.
