Oh fuck me. The shooting in DC is apparently not political.
The guy was a 35 year old in a White Mercedes who did a hit and run. DC police were chasing him, and he crashed his car near the capital, and got out and started shooting, apparently hitting a bystander before the police shot him.

Yeah, that's why I'm pretty reluctant to give them money, even though their signs say that they're homeless vets. But I figure if I were really hungry, I'd eat a baked potato. I'll try it and see if anyone takes them. It's either that or the compost bin or a week of nothing but potato salad chez Hecate.
ABC news tells me that Al Franken was just clowning it up at the Sotomayer hearings and that judge Sotmayer REFUSES to give her opinion on Roe vs. Wade.

Hecate, I work with homeless veterans. There are shelters in your area that house homeless veterans, as well as labor department programs targeted towards them.

Bank to try radical new procedure called "bankruptcy"
WSJ -- Earlier Wednesday, the White House said President Obama has been briefed on CIT's situation but deferred questions about the troubled lender's potential government-aid package to the Treasury Department.
The financial position at CIT, a lender to almost a million small and midsized businesses, has weakened in recent days and government officials had come under increasing pressure to resolve the looming crisis. News over the weekend the company had hired bankruptcy lawyers to help prepare for a possible bankruptcy filing prompted nervous investors to draw down on credit lines and the company's bonds and shares slumped. People familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal the drawdowns were about $500 million on Monday, but by Tuesday had risen to around $750 million.

I got a tip from a friend Andrew about a sale of assets by Wells Fargo (WFC) which raises a number of interesting questions. He sent me the following 14 July article from the Milwaukee Business Journal.
Wells Fargo sold $600 million in mostly non-performing subprime loans to Irvine, Calif.-based Arch Bay Capital, National Mortgage News reported, citing sources familiar with the sale.
The industry publication said the loans sold for 35 cents on the dollar, about double what most hedge funds were offering.

One thing I noticed, quite clearly, was that in explaining her comment on the wise Latina, she said she was paralleling [retired Justice Sandra Day] O’Connor’s statement that a wise old man and a wise old woman would come to the same wise decision, but the wise Latina comment is 180 degrees away from what O’Connor said. O’Connor was saying that being a woman wouldn’t skew your view, whereas the wise Latina statement said that a woman would reach a better result. So saying that she was following O’Connor was a little disingenuous.

WTF
Obama birther claims soldier’s revoked orders will have ‘disastrous’ ‘consequences’ for the U.S. military.
The reserve soldier who argued he should not have to go to Afghanistan because of far-fetched claims that President Obama is not legally eligible to be commander-in-chief has had his deployment orders revoked. Army Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook filed a request with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia on July 8 seeking a temporary restraining order and status as a conscientious objector because he believes Obama is not a natural born citizen. Though the military has refused to say why the order was revoked, Cook’s lawyer, renowned Obama conspiracy theorist Orly Taitz, was spinning it as a victory. “They have no cards to play with,” Taitz gleefully told Military.com:
“Can you imagine what are the consequences? This is disastrous” for the administration, she said. “We’ll have no military. Because anytime any Soldier, any Sailor, any Airman does not want to follow any orders, all he has to do is call an attorney and say ‘I don’t want to follow this order because I question the legitimacy of the commander in chief.’ “
Cook, an Individual Mobilization Augmentee, had volunteered for a year’s deployment to Afghanistan on May 8 and his orders were issued June 9. But all is not over for Cook or Taitz. A hearing on Cook’s requests will take place Thursday in the Columbus, Georgia federal court.

"In fact, Burger did actually defeat Mason twice on the
television series: once in "The Case of the Terrified Typist" and again
in "The Case of the Deadly Verdict". In addition, in "The Case of the
Shoplifter's Shoe", Burger figured out the true culprit (after some
nudging in the right direction by Mason). In the TV series, the closest
Burger gets to having Perry Mason "arrested" is when he has Mason cited for causing a trash fire within city limits (part of Mason's plan to
free an innocent client)."
dont get sucked in my that sebs bs last night about how he so LOOOOOOVVVEd your wind power idea.
Yea, well, he's got no sense.
I'm outtahere.
Why does anyone talk to 'sebs'?
For my part, sometimes I just can't help poking the jackass nest to see what flies out.
Sorry.
A brief interlude.
I generally will try talking to anyone here but when it is clear that it is not a conversation, I stop.
Simple rules for a simple man.

Why do people "debate" trolls?
Ask scientists known as psychologists.
I may have done something a little outre concerning the federal hiring system. I emailed the HR people about this Gud Job - for the third time - but this time saying that I believed the agency was allowing the cert to expire and protesting it. Asking that they please find out what is going on (with the implication that since the agency is a new one and has no experience in HR since they're actually using another agency's HR department it could merely be agency incompetence) and let me know. The previous times the HR people have replied the next day - nothing today. I've either really ticked them off or they're doing something. Unbelievably tiresome.

Sounds like precisely the right move on your part!

Chunk Toad and Tweety are talking about how tough the Democrats have it, with all the numbers in their favor..
Most laws, and I apologize to my ConLaw prof for not remembering if this is true of the Constitution, have a "necessary and proper" clause. We also have a 14th Amendment.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
necessary and proper to implement the enumerated powers
among the Enumerated Powers:
"To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States"
...the general welfare language in the Taxing and Spending Clause related only to "matters of national, as distinguished from local, welfare". Congress continues to make expansive use of the Taxing and Spending Clause; for instance, the social security program is authorized under the Taxing and Spending Clause
tell that to your wingnut relatives when they tell you the consitution does not allow the federal gvt to do anything beyond run the army and foreign policy
.
Hecate, I should have done this before.
Good people.

that one is more odious than most.

i fail in restraint, the other times.

GWPDA-
I can imagine. I hate doing things like that. You need to float around in your pool a bit, pet Arthur, etc.
Sounds like precisely the right move on your part!
If they're waiting for the cert to expire in order to push me off the list I really want them stopped. It's an old federal trick that I've fallen prey to more than once and it's tacky. They write a job tailored for one person and that person ends up at the bottom of the list and they can't 'reach' him. It's not fair and it's not ethical and we're not still governed by the Shrubbery. I don't mind failure but I really do dislike cheating.
"Cook, an Individual Mobilization Augmentee, had volunteered for a year’s deployment to Afghanistan on May 8 and his orders were issued June 9."
cook got fired from his job today.
"As it turns out, Maj. Cook was a reservist, employed in civilian life by a DOD contractor, Simtech, Inc. We are all aware that his military command has revoked his deployment orders, telling him that he's not wanted anymore. But that's not all. Today (or yesterday, it's hard to tell on the Freeper and WingNutDaily sites), Maj. Cook was informed that the DOD has also advised Simtech that he is no longer welcome at the DOD facility where Simtech was performing services, and as a result, Simtech doesn't have a job for Maj. Cook anymore."

maybe we can take it over to Satriale's and put it through the grinder.
Why do people "debate" trolls?
otherwise they might feel that they had come here and shown us benighted liberals the truth, without anybody pointing out to them that they are stoopits

tree falls--no one is there
it not make a sound
'...without anybody pointing out to them that they are stoopits
tacitus voldebaer'
Which they construe as winning the argument, which in turn explains why some trolls like to berate people on dead threads.
while attempting to determine any symbolism to the name 'Perry Mason' I tried to find a link between the Masonic order and Periwinkles.
I could not.

Fine. My challenge to folks here obsessed with feeding trolls is this. Turn off your gravatar and your nym and respond 'anonymously'. If it's REALLY about whacking the troll it shouldn't matter who does the whacking.
My theory is that it's more about the troll baiters wanting to draw attention to themselves or being too thin skinned when it gets personal. "Look at me, I sure outsmarted (troll name here) and got the last word".
My 2 cents.

Re Perry Mason names...
Was DA Hamilton 'Ham' Burger discussed?

GWPDA,
I liked your grant summary yesterday, for what it's worth, I found it succinct, and pithy.
Por supesto, I am not an expert on getting grants accepted, but I found it more readable than most summaries I've subjected myself to.
Hecate,
How's "Bobby" today? Feeling a bit newty. I imagine.
I fully support anonymous whacking.
Wait, I'll come in again.
Jeff Sessions is human scum.

Occasionally a troll sets its head on a tee so perfectly that one cannot resist stepping up to the plate with a heavy aluminum bat so as to crush it out of the park.
Unfortunately, all these games are virtual so the troll simply "resets."
I'm quadruple tasking...wheee!
I now realize why Hillary couldn't be president.
She would have never gotten the ceremonial pitch over the plate in a fucking All-Star game.
OTOH, movie actors who play presidents do it quite well.
What a country.

So Wells Fargo is offering to re-fi my mortgage with it at a rate .75 lower than my current rate at no charge. I dunno why but it seems like a good deal to me. I wonder if they are re-packaging my new mortgage as something newer and improved-er.
