What David Brooks forgot to mention was that by September, Bush would also find the cure for cancer, create safe nuclear energy, broker an everlasting Israeli-Palestinian peace accord, and rebuild the World Trade Center by himself.

'change the dynamic"? Brooks knows the WH hasn't got the intelligence to do that.
And at the homepage, Diane gives the Pakistani optimism that the WH can actually understand the effects of their own actions. We.don't.think.so.

"WEEHAWKEN, N.J. (AP) - George Clooney and a companion were injured on Friday when their motorcycle collided with a car on a narrow road across the Hudson River from New York City.
Clooney suffered a broken rib and scrapes while his passenger, Sarah Larson, broke her foot in the 3:30 p.m. collision. The two were treated at Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen and released, Clooney's spokesman, Stan Rosenfield, said.
"He's doing fine," Rosenfield said. "He has a broken rib, it's very painful and it'll take a long time to heal.""

Are we talking about Brooks or Broder here? I forget...
Suck it some more liberals:
What are you Dumbocrats and nutroots doing today to demoralize our troops in the field? You will never find us attacking the leader of our troops in battle.
And no, "attacking" Stumpy Cleland and Mr Waffles Heinz when they are running for office is not the same.
Jesus fucking christ.
And now all of them are high fiving each other about kicking the can down the road.
What a bunch of morons.
First in our esteem, anyway, Vicki.
involve getting out of Baghdad, withdrawing to some of the bases, reducing U.S. casualties, we’re trying to tamp down on al-Qaeda.
Oh, there's an idea. Don't do it in July, though.
the Bush Junta ran out of plans years ago

Yep. McCain's "we won! we won!" We're not the enemy you superannuated twat.
The person that I would like to know more about?
Buckhead.
Now he’s a lawyer so he won’t be easy to trip up, and he’s smart, he knows fonts and stuff so you might not learn anything from him, but I’d like to know.
Who tipped Buckhead off?
It won’t be Karl. Rove will be at least two steps removed. But moving backwards from Buckhead will reveal who contacted him, then go to that person and see what THEIR motives were. So for example it could be a Redstone plant with in CBS. It doesn’t have to be a White House connection. Just someone who wants to mess up this story so that Rather will be hurt instead of the President. An Andrew Heyward underling could easily tip off an old buddy, like deep throat. “Follow the kearning”.
That info would be VERY interesting.
But the second you mention anything like this, lots of people (including liberals) will say, “tin foil hat time!” when I hear this I always like to point out, “What about Enron? We now know that companies did act together to plunder the energy markets. So please don’t tell me that people wouldn’t act together to try and keep Bush in power; whether or not they were specifically coordinating.”
Technically a conspiracy is a bit different from people acting together to reach the same goals without necessarily coordinating.
You have a right wing noise machine consisting of blogs, Drudge, and the money losing Washington Times that will push these stories.
When they get to corporate news organizations, there is a “buzz” so that they just HAVE to cover it. Now is that all a conspiracy? No, but it acts like one in some ways.
I’m interested in this lawsuit.

I'm sure Brooks will now duly comment on the News Hour or in his column that he's filled with surprise and dsappointment that said redeployment did not actually materialize.

"9/11 changed everything"
1964:
You and I have never seen democracy; all we’ve seen is hypocrisy. When we open our eyes today and look around America, we see America not through the eyes of someone who have -- who has enjoyed the fruits of Americanism, we see America through the eyes of someone who has been the victim of Americanism. We don’t see any American dream; we’ve experienced only the American nightmare. We haven’t benefited from America’s democracy; we’ve only suffered from America’s hypocrisy. And the generation that’s coming up now can see it and are not afraid to say it.
Change is change.

I'm waiting for the made for TV movie of the Marcia-Jan thing.
Dear MoveOn member,
Yesterday, an amazing thing happened. After the Senate's shameful vote, and after President Bush called MoveOn "disgusting,"1 our email started to fill up with messages like this one:
"I'm currently in Iraq. I do not agree with this war, and if I did support this war, it would not matter. You have the RIGHT to speak the truth. We KNOW that you support us. Thank you for speaking out for being our voice. We do not have a voice. We are overshooted by those who say that we soldiers do not support organizations like MoveOn. WE DO.
YOU ARE OUR voice."
And then came the donations. By midnight, over 12,000 people had donated $500,000—more than we've raised any day this year—for our new ad calling out the Republicans who blocked adequate rest for troops headed back to Iraq.
um. Which September would that be?
Gee, the Goopers and the troolzz sure are grasping at straws.
WOnder how many troops died yesterday while they were slapping each other on the back?
An outbreak of cholera in Iraq, which has so far infected 1,500 people, has now reached Baghdad, the World Health Organisation reported yesterday.
The disease was first reported in the northern Kurdish areas of the country and specialist teams were dispatched in an effort to keep the situation contained. The revelation that cholera has now spread to the Iraqi capital, with its vast population of internally displaced refugees and crumbling water and sewage system offering scope for rther proliferation, is a matter of great worry, say health officials.
Fadela Chaib, a spokeswoman for the WHO, said: "The first case of cholera confirmed in Baghdad was two days ago. A 25-year-old woman had contracted the disease. For the time being we have only one case. It is likely others will be identified. The most important thing for Baghdad, even if it is difficult, is to strengthen the disease surveillance system, to be able to identify all the suspected cases and to know what we need in terms of oral rehydration salts, intravenous fluids and antibiotics so we can be ready when we see more cases."

For anyone who thinks (?) that American foreign policy is some kind of team sport, I though a little perspective might be helpful.
The Polish president has launched an advertising campaign to lure home an estimated 2 million young people who have emigrated abroad.
Focusing mainly on Britain where an estimated 600,000 Poles work, President Lech Kaczynski said he wanted to attract as many of his compatriots as possible.
He said: "We must convince the majority of people that their place is in Poland ... the young people who are abroad will be encouraged to return because there are also opportunities for them here."

"Bush-Cheney invite far-right "hate" Freepers to White House
by John Aravosis (DC) · 9/22/2007 03:40:00 PM ET
You'll recall that the Freepers are a far-right, and I mean VERY far right, Web organization that even FOX's Bill O'Reilly criticized as being too extreme. For Bush-Cheney to invite them to White House and then greet them personally... that's pretty sick. It's also likely a sign of the desperation that's sunk in at the White House.

Controversy surrounding Amnesty International's new policy of supporting abortion in certain circumstances has brought it into conflict with Catholic schools in Northern Ireland.
Two leading Belfast grammar schools which had highly active Amnesty youth groups have shut them down in protest at the stance of the human rights organisation. It is the latest sign that the Catholic church and Amnesty, while agreeing on a wide range of human rights problems, are at odds on the contentious abortion issue. Amnesty now backs terminations in some circumstances, replacing its previous policy of neutrality.
The group will campaign for women to have access to abortion in cases such as rape or incest, or where pregnancy puts a mother's life or her health at grave risk. It said its position had been informed by its work in areas such as Darfur, "where rape is used systematically as a weapon of war".
Abortion is very much a rarity in both Northern Ireland and the Republic, but thousands of women and girls travel to Britain each year for terminations. The Catholic church opposes abortion for any reason.

Freedom’s Watch is fighting for the ideals and policies that keep America strong and prosperous.
Huh. I thought they were called Freedom Swatch.
Apparently some of the Penn State players, having had run-ins with the law, have an aversion to a place called The Big House.
But it still doesn't answer where the funding is coming from or who is behind it.
It's tricksy. It's tied in with Hannity's Freedom Concerts, but it's also tied in with someone who has very close ties to the White House, because it's the direct result of research advising the president to "market" the war because the numbers have been so low.
It's nice to know that this $ 15,000,000 marketing experiment has been a failure, however. Public opinion has not been swayed.
You know they're backed by a bunch of chimpy ass-suckers.
I want to know if it is the WH itself.
Tell your students to plant your peonies and do your laundry, or you'll give them Fs.
Damn you're good.
Rosie also wants cupcakes, so I suppose I should start a load of laundry, make cupcakes, and then plant peonies when the next load goes in. My brother gave me a whole bunch of them.
OK, so it is freedomswatch.org. But it still doesn't answer where the funding is coming from or who is behind it.

BAGHDAD (AP) - Six Humvees rolled into one of the poor neighborhoods that share Baghdad's northern fringe with groves of date palms, and school teacher Mustafa Hassan climbed out to tears, hugs and kisses.
Hassan had been detained by the U.S. military for five months on suspicion of involvement in insurgent activity, but his innocence was championed by an American paratrooper lieutenant and now he was being delivered home with respect.
In this remote corner of Baghdad, soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division's 2nd Brigade, many on their third Iraq tour, are trying to leave their mark in a war defined as much by perceptions of conduct as by battlefield exploits.
Hassan's case illustrates the competing needs of quelling violence and reaching out to Iraqis.

The melt down over Focault (sp?) was the best yet.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday she had ordered a "full and complete review" of security practices for U.S. diplomats following a deadly weekend incident in Iraq involving private guards protecting a U.S. embassy convoy in Baghdad.
Rice said she had directed the State Department to examine "how we are providing security to our diplomats."
But.....Howard Krongard is the State Dept auditor. His brother, Buzzy Krongard worked alongside Cofer Black, now Blackwater's vice chairman, who was director of the CIA's Counterterrorist Center until 2002. After his tenure at the CIA, Cofer Black worked at the State Department as its Ambassador-at-Large — a roving ambassador — for counterterrorism, before going to work at Blackwater in February 2005.

Women workers are bringing record numbers of claims for unfair treatment at work, placing a huge strain on the employment tribunal system.
Between 2005 and 2006 cases for sex discrimination and equal pay more than doubled with thousands more still waiting for a hearing date. The growth in gender pay litigation is expected to continue, leading to calls for radical reforms of the system.
Jenny Watson, the outgoing chair of the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC), said that the 30-year-old equal pay legislation was no longer fit for purpose.
The EOC now wants to see an obligation placed on employers to conduct an "equality check" to see if they have a gender pay gap and take action to tackle its causes. In return, they might be able to qualify for a "protected period" from individual claims.

GWPDA,
It's the best smelling wood that I've ever smelled. And thank you for the comestibles, as well!
de nada. Imagine the whole town smelling like that.... Pretty much all of NM does in the winter. All I've got is mesquite and oak tho - this is going to make me very happy too.
Thing is, I tried wicked hard to be nice to Mimi. But she pulled three psycho stunts in barely a week, then dared to accuse me of being mean and abusive.
I don't have time in my life for people in general, let alone fucked up biddies with delusions of superiority and French accents, no matter what pleasures their tongues can give to my Wee Willy.
Looks like I'll need that safehouse afterall...
Well, you know where to find one.
Sounds like a swell gal.
TJ,
She actually is. I enjoyed her company for quite a while having lived overseas myself. But then she just went haywire and started attacking everybody over nothing. She's convinced I'm a 70 y.o. lonely woman who does nothing but sit by the window and spy on the neighbors and try to instigate trouble. And that's one of the kinder attacks.

She appears convinced that people here are intimidated by her. I tried to kindly disabuse her of that notion, but as with so many meta/process/concern troll discussions, that didn't go anywhere.
Out of character for me, I even let that shit go and tried to just engage with her on an interpersonal level away from the Eschaton world. But she insisted on bringing everything back to how mean my friends are, and how much of a mean streak I have, etc. Okay, so I'm stupid: I thought I could work with some of my ex-wife's issues, and thought I could with some of Mimi's. I'm a sucker. A chump. A fucktard with a stupid, noble sense of asshattery masquerading as tolerance.

Some 200 women supporters of Hamas have marched in the West Bank to demand the release of Hamas members being held in jails run by the Palestinian Authority.
At least one woman was detained during the rally in Ramallah, the headquarters of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
Mr Abbas's Fatah faction has been confined to the West Bank since Hamas seized Gaza in June, splitting Palestinian territories in two.
Fatah security forces have arrested a number of Hamas loyalists since then.
"We are one Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank," protesters chanted during the rally in Ramallah on Saturday.

Okay, so I'm stupid: I thought I could work with some of my ex-wife's issues, and thought I could with some of Mimi's.

Because I have a Clintonian obsession with being loved by everybody. I figured, she's hot, she's smart, she's interesting to me, and I want her to like me. And she's a human who appeared to be engaging me. Why shouldn't I try?
But perhaps I should go with my original plan of running off to The Fortress with The Pack and hiding away from all you annoying human people. Your world confuses me, and uses long words and complex sentence structures.

Police are looking for two men seen near a school where a home-made nail bomb exploded inside a teacher's car.
Pupils narrowly escaped injury when the device, thought to be a large firework with nails buried inside, went off only minutes before the end of the school day.
No-one was injured in the blast in the car park outside Runnymede St Edward's school in Sandfield Park, West Derby, Liverpool at around 2.50pm on Friday.
Merseyside Police said one of the men was white, stocky, about 5ft 10in and aged between 40 and 50 with light-coloured hair. They have no description of the second man.

CONFIRMED: Top House Spending Official Knew Of Walter Reed Squalor
Congressional Quarterly confirms today that senior House conservatives, including the chairmen of the appropriations and oversight committees, knew about the neglect and deplorable conditions at Walter Reed years before they were exposed by the Washington Post.
Rep. C.W. Bill Young (R-FL), former chairman of the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, said he stopped short of going public with the hospital’s problems “to avoid embarrassing the Army while it was fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan”:
“We got in Gen. Kiley’s face on a regular basis,” Young said, adding that he even contacted the commander of the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda in the hopes of getting better care there for the patient with the aneurysm, though doctors at Walter Reed declined to transfer him. …
“We did not go public with these concerns, because we did not want to undermine the confidence of the patients and their families and give the Army a black eye while fighting a war,” Young said.
I don't remember the senate censuring Young for the harm he did to injured soldiers.
Isn't related to the Amway Ponzi Scheme people?
His sister is Elizabeth "Betsy" (Prince) DeVos, who is married to Dick DeVos, son of the founder of Amway. Dick ran for governor last year.

Speaking of Blackwater and politics:
Just caught this. Politico's Kenneth Vogel suggests that Mitt Romney's silence about the Blackwater killings in Iraq may have something to do with the fact that:
The top counterterrorism and national security adviser to Romney's presidential campaign is Cofer Black, vice chairman of Blackwater USA.
I thought it might have been Romney's general stance on the inappropriately termed war on terror and that we should "double Guantanamo" rather than shut it down that explains Romney's silence.
But I think Romney will be the Republican primary winner, the way things look today -- and it's good to add to the brief.

FTW, October 9, 2001 � Although uniformly ignored by the mainstream U.S. media, there is abundant and clear evidence that a number of transactions in financial markets indicated specific (criminal) foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In the case of at least one of these trades -- which has left a $2.5 million prize unclaimed -- the firm used to place the �put options� on United Airlines stock was, until 1998, managed by the man who is now in the number three Executive Director position at the Central Intelligence Agency. Until 1997 A.B. �Buzzy� Krongard had been Chairman of the investment bank A.B. Brown. A.B. Brown was acquired by Banker�s Trust in 1997. Krongard then became, as part of the merger, Vice Chairman of Banker�s Trust-AB Brown, one of 20 major U.S. banks named by Senator Carl Levin this year as being connected to money laundering. Krongard�s last position at Banker�s Trust (BT) was to oversee �private client relations.� In this capacity he had direct hands-on relations with some of the wealthiest people in the world in a kind of specialized banking operation that has been identified by the U.S. Senate and other investigators as being closely connected to the laundering of drug money.
Krongard (re?) joined the CIA in 1998 as counsel to CIA Director George Tenet. He was promoted to CIA Executive Director by President Bush in March of this year. BT was acquired by Deutsche Bank in 1999. The combined firm is the single largest bank in Europe. And, as we shall see, Deutsche Bank played several key roles in events connected to the September 11 attacks.
Didn't Sanchez get the blame for Abu Ghraib?
Too good not to cut'n'paste, even though everyone seems to be off enjoying meatspace life
Indeed, at the very centre of American politics is the great dynastic Wasp story of our time, the Bush family (both presidents: Philips Andover--America’s Eton--Yale, Skull and Bones). Surely this is the grist for a great society novel? Auchincloss demurs. "I just think the Bushes are a big family of shits," he says with a sibilant hiss, "they might have existed anywhere."

"by september I'll have to retape my mailbox"-David Brooks
We did not go public with these concerns, because we did not want to undermine the confidence of the patients and their families and give the Army a black eye while fighting a war,” Young said.
What bullshit. How about you didn't want Karl and W mad at you so you let "our wounded boys" sit in moldy rat infested rooms. And for the record I imagine trying to recover from wounds received in a war while the peeling paint flakes down on your head does more than hurt your confidence. It probably made them feel like shit. But whatever gets you through the night, Bill.

Who's the new mouthbreather?
What's up with the Jenna Bush wedding? Haven't heard word one since the big announcement. Well, except for the rumors, of course.
I'm clearly a Marcia girl.
Frankly, I wanted both of them in a menage. I don't like choosing.
From Wikipedia:
In 1935, in the title role of the film Alice Adams, Hepburn earned her second Oscar nomination. By 1938, Hepburn was a bona fide star, and her forays into comedy with the films Bringing Up Baby and Stage Door were well-received critically. But audience response to the two films was tepid, and the good reviews from the critics were not enough to rescue her from an earlier string of flops (The Little Minister, Spitfire, Break of Hearts, Sylvia Scarlett, A Woman Rebels, Mary of Scotland, Quality Street). As a result, Hepburn's movie career began to decline.
"Box office poison"
Some of what has made Hepburn greatly beloved today — her unconventional, straightforward, anti-Hollywood attitude — at the time began to turn audiences sour. Outspoken and intellectual with an acerbic tongue, she defied the era's "blonde bombshell" stereotypes, preferring to wear pantsuits and disdaining makeup. She also had a famously difficult relationship with the press, turning down most interviews, which did not help her exposure to the public....
....
She could also be prickly with fans — though she relented as she aged, early in her career, Hepburn often denied requests for autographs, feeling it an invasion of her privacy.... Even so, her refusal to sign autographs and answer personal questions earned her the nickname "Katharine of Arrogance"[3] (an allusion to Catherine of Aragon). Soon, audiences began to stay away from her movies.
Hepburn was already reeling from a devastating series of flops when, in 1938, she (along with Fred Astaire, Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich, and others) was voted "box office poison" in a poll taken by motion picture exhibitors....
Who's the new mouthbreather?
Old mouthbreather. New name.
They had to have been under 18.
Maybe one of 'em was over 18 - probably Maureen. And then she ran into Elizabeth Montgomery on the ABC lot. Maureen needed an older woman to confide in, and after hearing her story, Elizabeth invited her into her dressing room to "talk" (cue wah-wah guitar)...

The baby bump's gotten too big to hide?
Elizabeth invited her into her dressing room to "talk" (cue wah-wah guitar)...
...then they got between the sheets...
“to avoid embarrassing the Army while it was fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan”:
Something about a cultish devotion to the military?
Sheets!
I don't find attacks on honorable folks like Max Cleland worthy of parody.
So whoever s/he/it is, the term "moron" comes to mind.
Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore
Agreed.

Goddamn, that took nerve.

It's an acquired skill....
What's up with the Jenna Bush wedding?
