GravatarLike defendants before the Star Chamber, the defense is being denied the right of confrontation, the most basic of defense rights. This means that they do not know what is being said against them, nor even who is saying it. And accordingly, they are not able to point out to the Court what is false or suspect in these statements, or to introduce information which would rebut them. And all of this is transpiring in an American court room today, in one of many courts in America in which the Constitution has become a dormant document–at the urging of the Bush Justice Department.

GravatarBush also said during his interview with prosecutors that he had never directed anyone to disclose the identity of then-covert CIA officer Valerie Plame, Wilson’s wife. Bush said he had no information that Cheney had disclosed Plame’s identity or directed anyone else to do so.

The McClellan quote suggests very strongly that the final statement, which would have been the question that Fitzgerald put to Bush, was false. If Bush’s statement was a conscious effort to mislead a federal prosecutor on questions focal to his inquiry, this is a very big deal.

Bipartisan comity! Social Security! Terraists in your basement!

Ooooo, I'm telling him U said that.


GravatarPublic opinion polling now shows that 64% of Americans believe that Bush has abused his authority as president, and that 55% believe that his abuses rise to the level of specific offenses which would justify his impeachment and removal from office under the Constitutional standards. If McClellan’s original statement is to be credited, then two of those impeachable offenses would be making false material statements to a prosecutor in connection with a criminal investigation and issuing a pardon as a part of an on-going cover-up of criminal acts. This is a presidency for the recordbooks.

GravatarThis past Wednesday, I had a bit of minor surgery to remove an abcessed lipoma from my back.

The doctor administering the local anesthetic was this very cute Asian woman.

So, here I am, on the operating table, half naked, and she tells me that I'll feel a tiny prick as she administers the multiple injections.

I really could have done without this really cute Asian babe whispering "tiny prick, tiny prick, tiny prick" in my ear.

Made me feel like NTodd, it did.

GravatarBSG just hasn't been very interesting since they stopped focusing on the chase.

I stopped watching when Lee and Kara started being stupid. I haven't even watched the last two episodes I downloaded from my iTunes season pass. I just couldn't deal with it.


GravatarProfWombat,

That one is a definite improvement, eh?

Bush is going to get away with it: Honestly, he could cook and eat a baby on stage and the press would report that was helping children.


GravatarEarlier this month, I downloaded almost 2 gigabytes of the old DRAGNET radio program.

Currently listening to Joe Friday taking on the Teh Pr0n Menace in the L.A. High Schools.

In an amazing prescient episode, teh pr0n is being published by a BIBLE printing company!


GravatarOh, and just a soupcon of Jonathan Rhys Meyers.


GravatarFor some reason he reminds me of a young Donald Sutherland, Molly.


GravatarDWD: Bush would joke about the baby needing a bit more garlic, and they'd trip over each other to supply it...


Gravatar"In perfect position for my Pitt Panthers to knock them off next week."

GravatarTony Blair avoided talking about his religious views while in office for fear of being labelled "a nutter", the former prime minister has revealed.
In an interview for BBC One's The Blair Years, he said that his faith had been "hugely important" to his premiership.

His ex-spokesman Alastair Campbell once told reporters: "We don't do God."

Mr Campbell has now acknowledged to the programme that his former boss "does do God in quite a big way", but that both men feared the public would be wary.


GravatarNTodd: those are beautiful images...

Astonishing what you can do with a ten-inch scope and a tracking computer. Dog DAYUM. I've always wanted a private observatory like that. Sadly, I'll most likely never get the chance now...

GravatarNTodd: my good wife bought me a modest refractor a few years back. Did physics and math in college, but never much observational astronomy. Turned it up, almost randomly, to a bright 'star', and instantly recognized Jupiter with four moons. I was speechless, imagining Galileo seeing it for the first time, and changing the world. Showed my kid. I was so excited, and not a little moved.


GravatarNTodd wishes he had a ten inch?

GravatarTurned it up, almost randomly, to a bright 'star', and instantly recognized Jupiter with four moons. I was speechless, imagining Galileo seeing it for the first time, and changing the world.

Shit man, Jupiter's my favorite planet because of Galileo, Kepler and Sagan. First planet I ever excitedly looked for with this little shitty scope I got for Xmas when I was 7. First planet I looked for with my 4.5" Newtonian. I've seen the Red Spot with that scope (now in the hands of a special 8yo), as well as the Cassini Division of Saturn.

You can also see the Galilean satellites with a good pair of binocs. Or a telephoto lens...

Gravatar'Picking out warm places for the winter'

Along with the rest of the feline species. I have a special pad I bought at Petco which has this space-age material that reflects back the cat's body warmth. My cat lives on it during the winter.

GravatarOur side (including Obama):
-Shore up social security with a progressive tax hike
-Roll back tax cuts for the wealthy.
-Expand considerably public health care.
-Get out of Iraq (at least fairly soon)
-Sensible and humane immigration policy.

Why are we yelling about Obama again? Because his exact 'strategy' was not precisely to our personal liking?
mike | 11.24.07 - 8:39 pm


From the SocSec thread below, a commenter offered a defense of Obama--and tellingly the #1 issue was--wha'?--SocSec. Social Security????

Left off the list entirely was that while SocSec is in quite good shape Medicare and Medicaid are going to be in very bad shape quite soon.

Obama could have made that his issue to differentiate himself. But that is really a difficult one, and the Rethugs do not want to do anything progressive about it, so it's not a "centering" issue.

#3, expanding considerably public health care? How about universal health care. Oh, right. That is not on Obama's own list. (Maybe that's why Medicare isn't on the list--to really fix Medicare and Medicaid means universal health care--and that will be very difficult indeed.)

Crap issue emphasis. But easy to get some people all scared like--bcz the ReThugs have been flogging it for decades.... Just crap.


Gravatar108!


GravatarLove to know what stories the Indians have to explain their creation

Nov. 24, 9:30 a.m. EST - The Full Beaver Moon. Time to set beaver traps before the swamps freeze to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Beaver Full Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now active in their preparation for winter. Also called the Frosty Moon.

Much as I think America deserves yet another eight years of robber-baronage, I can't bring myself to vote for a Rethuglofascist. None of them. Makes me sick to think about it.

Worse, I think there's precious little difference between Clinton and Huckabee. From where I sit, on the Left Bank, they all have a distinctly Attila The Hun look about them, except for Kucinich.

Why can't new role models break out of the old mold and do things morally and ethically? Why do the newcomers feel such a pressure to fuck the rest of us over? I don't get it.

GravatarCENTERTON, Ark. -- The mayor of an Arkansas town resigned on Wednesday, claiming he was abducted and brainwashed by Satan worshippers nearly three decades ago.

Centerton Mayor Ken Williams said he has been living under an assumed name for nearly 30 years. He had been mayor since 2001.

Williams told authorities he was born Don LaRose and that in the mid-1970s, he was a preacher in Indiana. He said he was abducted and brainwashed into forgetting all about his life as Don LaRose.

It was a double life he had never acknowledged, Williams said, because he didn't even realize it existed until he had recently taken a truth-serum injection.

As Williams regained his memory, he said, he realized that he had a wife and two kids but that he had decided to leave and take on a new identity to protect them.

"I had no choice. The choice was to watch my family killed before my eyes or go with these people, and I chose instead to run," Williams said.

Applications that will download stuff from USENET.

I will say no more, as that could be perceived as promoting piracy. I will say that downloading from USENET makes it all but impossible for the MPAA/RIAA to trace any one particular downloader.

GoMusic.ru and Mp3Sugar.com. They often have stuff iTunes doesn't, and sometimes they don't so I go to iTunes for that stuff (then I'll hijack the song if I need it for a podcast). The advantage of these sites is they are MP3s (okay, audiophiles hate those) with no DRM.

Well, it's not a simple thing to figure out. But Margaret Thatcher was the first woman Prime Minister in the U.K. for the very reason that she was nothing like the worst stereotypes of women some people have. She was not going to be nice and soft or anything like that and she was also not going to give another woman a lift up.

A Labor Party female candidate would have had much more trouble because the stereotypes overlap too much. That is what I meant by one of the reasons why the "firsts" often don't hold otherwise new positions.

I think that it's totally the lack of public financing that's the problem. I read a short piece recently on how Canada's campaign financing makes it far more difficult for Big Bidniss to get their laws enacted, whereas here, they just email the text in with a Paypal and the law hits the books the next day (mild hyperbole there).

It's my opinion that politicing is about compromise and allocating scarce public resources. Selling your soul to Rupert Murdoch isn't required, it's just fashionable these days.

GravatarJaneane: same thing happened to me re: Hillary. I liked her a lot in the beginning, but as time goes by, not so much- politically, mostly. I don't like to talk about the personal side, because I think it might end up looking like nothing more than sexism (and hell, maybe it is) in print.

The thing I was trying to get at is-- she's closer to being President than any woman before her, and win or lose, will there be some kind of ripple effect? It would seem that if she does succeed, that could draw more women into politics, which would be a good thing-- but if she didn't, then what? Same as it ever was?


GravatarBut that's how the political system is structured, especially nationally. How can a newcomer become competitive without corporate money when corporate money shouts down all other comers?
Milton Arbogast

It requires a new model of campaign financing. I like the netroots version. A zillion small contributions and no corporate ass-mongering. The difficulty, of course, is having enough people on the new model so that they can caucus together and get things accomplished.

I'm not sure about all that. It seems the more I look at politicians and the political process, the less I like them (regardless of gender) and the process itself.

I don't know about a ripple effect. I just know that Hillary shouldn't be alienating her base and running what seems to be a repeat of her husband's "trash the base, praise Republicans and call it bipartisanship" 1992 campaign.

I've just gotten old and fluffy. I prefer gardening to hunting. More flowers that way, and I'm discovering that I like flowers.


Gravatarnick carraway, I didn't mean to imply that you believe that stuff. But the whole discussion about the effects of Hillary Clinton's success or failure on women is based on the idea that is the female part of her that would be somehow responsible for failing or succeeding, rather than just Hillary the person.

This is a real problem for the first women in any new area. They are always judged as "all women", and it's pretty frustrating, because the pressure must be enormous.

GravatarWell, goddamn it. What a downer.

Did you all read the story of my fucked-up Thanksgiving? Well, my neighborhood troll crapped on that thread thusly:

Well, there you go again, with the f-bomb, sounding like a minor character in a Mamet play. I suppose after all that driving -- approx 1400 miles per your earlier post -- and using all that gasoline and increasing your carbon footprint, that you had to displace that guilt by taking it out on some poor guy merely enforcing the rules and demonstrating lese-majeste toward an enlightened, progressive, educated, frat boy lawyer. I mean, don't these people in menial positions recognize and defer to their betters? What is wrong with them?

I think that's unfair to Clinton. Biden has spent many, many, many more years sucking up to corporate financiers than Clinton has.

He has been in the Senate for more than 34 years -- since January 1973. That is a lot of time spent representing the hairplug manufacturers of Delaware.

I know New York and Chicago used to be that way. Now, well, not so much. Besides, where would one find a city like that anywhere in the world? Europe? Nah, not really. Don't get me wrong, I adore European cities (particularly Paris--I'm a romantic, sue me already) but they are not the bustling, thriving sorts of places where things are constantly changing. At least, the big cities aren't. But they used to be. Amsterdam used to be that way, and the old city center shows it.

Maybe we'd have to go all Third World and shit to find bustling, thriving, rapidly changing cities. I don't know. Usually third world cities are centers of horrifying poverty (at least in my experience).

I tried it in all caps last time and no one noticed. I just do not understand. We have no idea of what is happening in Iraq. The Journalists - such as they are - are all scared shitless and cowering in the Green Zone afraid to investigate what is actually going on for fear of being killed. (I believe more journalists have been killed in this war than any previous. If not more than certainly a bunch) So we are left with our information being spoon fed to the wire services by the American Army - certainly a source who would never, ever lie about what is actually happening.

Janeane The Acerbic Goblin

Our allies today are the ones we're planning to invade tomorrow. Preferably with an armed leader who sports a moustache....


Gravatar2.3 million displaced internally, 2.2 million refugees, 1.2 million dead, Sadr declaring a 6-month ceasefire...nah, I'm sure it's because the surge that began in January somehow magically took effect in September...
NTodd, Boxer-Briefed


They've killed everyone they wanted to kill.

Like if Hitler had actually killed every Jew.


GravatarThat is so stupid of Disney. At least they didn't have Tasers then....

Don't tase Mickey, bro!


GravatarThis crap about the surge working:

- No appreciable, much less sucessful, effort by the Iraqi pols to make accomodation for each other and cooperate.

- Bush has shot his surge wad. He has to bring troops back because the military is over extended.


All the tap dancing done by candidates is going to look very silly six months from now when the situation has unraveled and mayhem is essentially on a par with presurge levels or getting there rapidly.

My husband plays Christmas music from Thanksgiving night to Christmas day.... so I'll just say ... GAHHHHH......


GravatarHere's why the violence is down in Iraq:

The ethnic cleasing has been completed.
Gomez

God damn it, how the fuck do we KNOW? We just take the army's word for it? Just like VietNam? Just like the weapons of Mass Destruction? Greeted like liberators? The war will pay for itself?

There is no good information to be had. Maybe the violence is down. Maybe it is not. Maybe the ethnic violence has run its course. Maybe it has not. Maybe the Sadr guy has told his followers to stop. Maybe he has not. Maybe Turkey is going to invade. Maybe not.

We do not know.


GravatarI'd better get some sleep. Long day again tomorrow, too. Plus I need to work up some venom for the fucking troll.

Catch you patriotz laterz.


GravatarThanks for the gumball!

DWD - Recession, Hah!

They've killed everybody.

Christmas music rules at anytime of the year....

Or facial recognition software. They weren't physical about it, but they were really pissy. We were obviously unclean beings, and they let us know it. Plenty of high school & college kids got the same treatment at Disneyland for a short time in history, and then they just stopped. I don't know why, but they just stopped caring. Maybe they realized that if they started keeping out everybody they wouldn't hire, they were going to be keeping out more people than they were going to be letting in.
