Feds: Black man posed as white racist in threats
...
The FBI in New Orleans said Dyron Hart, 19, was arrested Wednesday. He is accused of sending the messages by way of the students' Facebook accounts. The messages contained racial epithets and death threats and were sent to two black women and a black man at Nicholls State in Thibodaux, La.
The author of those messages cast himself as a white man who intended to kill blacks because Barack Obama was elected president.

And simels claimed here, 45 years later, that the food wasn't good. (Damn, the boy is a food critic too!)But that is proof positive that he didn't smoke any mary jane. He was the jerk. Phoebe, after she got over her trauma, said he looked like a shaved Charlie Manson. Phoebe said she would recognize those eyes anywhere.

You know, one could make the argument (if you were a rightwinger) that McCain "Not Being Conservative Enough" kept some cohort of conservatives from not voting for him thus putting Obama in office. They would have to show, of course, that there was a significant percentage of voters who, either voted for a third candidate, or refused to vote for either Obama or McCain. The evidence is that your hard core winger did vote for McCain and, afaik, didn't stay home on election day. After all, that's what McCain and Palin playing to the base was all about.

Folks, please note that these prices are not adjusted for price changes in the past year. From the Department of Labor, “The September level of 218.783 (1982-84=100) was 4.9 percent higher than in September 2007.” That means retail sales, adjusted for inflation, are down 7.6%. ~Cherniawski

But they do it even if the guy is just coming on his shift in America. And I would think it would be a lot easier for a terrorist to infiltrate a cleaning crew than become a commercial pilot. Also, I understand they don't do a great job on security clearances for the cleaning crews. Just saying.

Went to Red Cross and exchanged two units of platelets
I always feel better after that. For real.
Blood donation is about the easiest way to do that much good I can think of, but I did the double order of red blood cells procedure a couple of weeks ago and didn't feel right for the better part of a week. Regular donations have never bothered me, so they're just going to have to take them one unit at time from now on.

By Debbie Schlussel
Did President-elect Barack Hussein Obama commit a federal crime in September of this year? Or did he never actually register and, instead, did friends of his in the Chicago federal records center, which maintains the official copy of his alleged Selective Service registration commit the crime for him?
It's either one or the other, as indicated by the release of Barack Obama's official Selective Service registration for the draft. A friend of mine, who is a retired federal agent, spent almost a year trying to obtain this document through a Freedom of Information Act request, and, after much stonewalling, finally received it and released it to me.
But the release of Obama's draft registration and an accompanying document, posted below, raises more questions than it answers. And it shows many signs of fraud, not to mention putting the lie to Obama's claim that he registered for the draft in June 1979, before it was required by law.
Debbie, did you know that your last name means "blowjob" in German?

They become more and more irrelevant:
"A Georgia priest facing excommunication for supporting the ordination of women said Friday he plans to visit the Vatican with a contingent of fellow priests and a bishop to appeal the decision.
Roy Bourgeois, 69, a Maryknoll priest and nationally known peace activist, ran afoul of Vatican doctrine by participating in an Aug. 9 ceremony in Lexington, Ky., to ordain Janice Sevre-Duszynska, a member of a group called Roman Catholic Womenpriests. Recent popes have said the Roman Catholic Church cannot ordain women because Christ chose only males as apostles. "Who are we as men to say to women that our call to the priesthood is valid, but yours is not?" Bourgeois said in a telephone interview. "As Catholics we profess that the invitation to priesthood comes from God, and I believe that we are hampering with the sacred when we say that women must be excluded from being priests. That invitation is from God." Bourgeois said the toughest part of the ordeal was informing his 95-year-old father, a devout Roman Catholic. He said he drove to his family's home in Lutcher, La., near New Orleans, to tell him, and that his father shed tears and then told his family that God had protected Bourgeois before, and would continue to today.
"When he said God will take care of him, I wept," said Bourgeois. Bourgeois' excommunication likely would be automatic, requiring no further action from the Holy See, said the chief Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi. Excommunication is the most severe penalty under church law, cutting off a Catholic from receiving or administering sacraments. The ordained woman, Sevre-Duszynska, also faces excommunication.
Bourgeois said that he recently received a letter from the Vatican's doctrinal watchdog, the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, offering him a chance to recant within 30 days to avoid excommunication. But Lombardi said he did not know of such a letter, and Bourgeois said he has informed the Vatican he will not repent. Bourgeois, a Vietnam veteran, served as a missionary in Bolivia and El Salvador. Concerned by what he had witnessed, he returned to the United States and formed School of Americas Watch, a group that holds annual demonstrations against a Fort Benning school that is now known as the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation. He lives in an apartment outside Fort Benning's main gate.
The deadline for his excommunication is Nov. 21, Bourgeois said — just one day before the start of the 19th annual protest at the school by the group. Even if he is excommunicated, Bourgeois said he will remain active in SOA Watch and the church.
"I won't be able to say Mass in Catholic churches, but my ministry in SOA Watch and speaking at colleges and churches will continue," he said.

McCain was not "all over the place"; well he was, but no one has said why.
The Rovian strategy was to find something, anything, that compromised Obama, and pound the hell out of it. He was "all over the place" because they couldn't find that thing. The closest items they discovered that kind of worked to move people were creeping Socialism, Joe the Plumber, and Bill Ayers. You know they thought those were good because they kept pounding 'em. And you also know that they knew those issues were not good enough, because they kept going "all over the place" looking for something with more traction. They couldnt' find it.
I don't say this from any campaign insight, just observation.
