The Hero of Chappaquiddick
Otis A. Glazebrook IV
The Incident that saved America from a Teddy Kennedy Presidency occurred forty years ago today. As true American heroes Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were streaking their way to the Moon on Apollo 11; the Hero of Chappaquiddick earned his (yellow) stripes by allowing the drowning of Mary Jo Kopechne.
No autopsy was performed on Ms. Kopechne's body; however there was some evidence discovered by the funeral director and presented by the District Attorney that Mary Jo suffocated in an air pocket. If confirmed this should have make Senator Kennedy's behavior that night rise to the crime of manslaughter -- but this was Massachusetts. Judge Bernard Brominski ruled against exhumation and autopsy on December 10th, 1969.
The Left's Hero gave multiple accounts of the events of that night. Thus leading one to believe that his nickname has been misspelled all these years since.
Shouldn't it read: ‘The Lyin' of the Senate'?
Once again Ms. Kopechne was unavailable for comment.
Rolling Stone had an article once that said that there were two types of people in the world--those who got Mary Hartman, and those who didn't.
Sorry, wiley, I was in the first group and loved it. Dunno how I'd feel about it at this point.

I have such a weird story to tell you.
We found Audrey's bike, outside an AA meeting, but the cops don't think it's important enough to help us get it back. It was locked to the street light post. They told her to steal it back, but WE DON'T HAVE LOCK CUTTERS.
In the meanwhile, I went into the 7/11, and there were 2 cop cars there. They were buying....doughnuts, and coffee.

I think we'll be able to find the bike again. I saw a dude take off on it, and I followed him. It's a woman's bike, and the front tire, the one they left behind, is different from the back tire.
The cat was leaving an AA meeting, which, logic dictates, he is probably mandated by the courts to attend, so he'll be back.
We're making a plan. We're going to steal the bike back, with or without the cops' help.

OTTAWA COUNTY -- Sheriff's Deputy Ryan Huizenga, who shot and injured a Grand Valley State University student during a drug raid, will be reinstated to full-duty status on Aug. 1, Sheriff Gary Rosema said Thursday.
Huizenga was working as part of the West Michigan Enforcement Team when he shot Derek Copp, 20, in the chest during a March 11 raid at Copp's off-campus apartment. His gun discharged while police were entering the home to execute a search warrant.
Copp, who was unarmed, was raising his arms to shield his face from an officer's flashlight when he was shot, his family said. He was hospitalized and recovered from his injuries.
There was this movie with Rod Steiger and Sidney Poitier...

When the Hondurans thought abt that problem for themselves, they said "term limits." Among other things.

I just cannot figure how they cannot add 1 and 1 to get 2.
They have no concept of such things.
One of the things I learned early was that *everything* is designed to keep the poor poorer. The concept of taking advantage of pre- and post-season sales to stock up, for instance. The poor can't afford this so they get to buy when they have to. And that's usually at the height of the expensive time.
Buy a trailer instead of a McMansion and pay three times the interest rate on it.
Buy stuff on credit because the refrigerator can't wait to the next paycheck and you'll pay more for the appliance plus the interest and maybe some penalties and a loan fee...
And so on.
And the rich cannot understand that.

Earlier today someone mentioned the slow and failing pace of Obama's efforts to help homeowner's keep their homes.
The problem is that while Obama's efforts on behalf of better and fairer mortgages is laudable, the problem will remain because someone is going to have to take a hit for the fact that many homes are not worth any longer what they are mortgaged for. And the banks are determined that the one to take the hit will not be them. As long as they are allowed to take that position, nothing will change.

The Defense secretary says forces must show progress in a year or risk losing public support, especially as casualties mount, with at least 50 U.S. and NATO deaths in July, the deadliest month yet.
By Julian E. Barnes
4:47 PM PDT, July 18, 2009
Reporting from Washington — After eight years, U.S.-led forces must show progress in Afghanistan by next summer to avoid public perception that the conflict has become unwinnable, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said in a sharp critique of the war effort.
Gates said that victory was a "long-term prospect" under any scenario and that the U.S. would not win the war in a year's time. However, U.S. forces must begin to turn the situation around in a year, he said, or face the likely loss of public support.
..........So there ya have it-He's afraid the American people will get tired of war.Has anyone checked his vital signs recently?

I used to like those high-test, chewy ales, I even brewed a couple, but now I'm a pilsener man.

They drink for style rather than taste (IMHO) -- any good beer taste is better if it is NOT ice cold & your get the aroma (& more taste) from a glass

Oh, I think there are things that can be done: How about moving the Redstone Arsenal and all of the attendant engineering positions AA?
You think Jeff SayShuns would like that? You think he would fucking bitch about the car companies?
How about closing the Air Force Base at San Antonio and locating that son of a bitch in Mt Pleasant?
You think Kay Baily Whore would like that one?
Seriously, I am sick to death of being the fucking whipping boy of the Federal Subsidized states and a certain district in this country.

Vicki no likey brewskis.
But I LOVE Feral's wine.
Best red wine I've ever had. His cranberry is to die for.
Aside from that, he's an awesome individual. Great kisser (in a benign way, don't think dirty), great hugger, great lover of people.

DWD,
This state lost a lot of military bases under Reagan.
I had a certain fondness for KI Sawyer and a sweet flyboy back when I was in school in Marquette, but I digress.

From what I understand, the equipment is key.
Odd. My wife says that it's not just the equipment but what I do with it...

Constitutionally, the Honduran military is assigned the task of administering referenda and (I think) the elections themselves. They have the logistical ability to do this, so they are charged to do so by their constitution.
Zelaya was trying to get the military to permit a referendum. The top brass there wouldn't do it.

For us, no big deal. For the rest of Central America, I think it's more: Is this going to be the norm again? Is it all about the generals, or bitter colonels, once more?

I'm sure it brings all of that back for them, and yet it seems to me that they themselves will succeed in making sure it does not come to that. Latin America has made sich great strides towards democracy in recent years, mostly no thanks to us.

I was reading of a base in Washington state that was expanding: it was expected to provide 3000 civilian jobs with 35000 troops stationed there and 7000 contractors: can you imagine what a base like that would mean to Western Michigan?
(How about knocking our unemployment in half or better: thousands of struggling businesses getting strong, lots of new growth and industries.)

As has been repeatedly proved, the military is seemingly universally unable to run a country. They always fail. Always.

And you know that the President was made C-in-C of the military in 1999, right? So you're cool with civilian control being overthrown?
And what do you think Honduran opinion is about this crisis?

Obama is fighting for health care, and for that, I give him credit.
If he passes a health care bill, my healthy skepticism will cease. I'll be in his court. But he has to do three more things:
1.) End the fucking war
2.) Focus on environmental conservation
3.) Give gays equal rights
I also want a national public college/university program, either free or low cost.
Shoot me. I'm a socialist.

IMHO, the government caused this crisis with their damned stoopit trade policies and the blessing of moving all manufacturing overseas: they OWE us big time.

I agree, and I also think it's high time we instituted a policy of making the product of a company that has moved offshore illegal to sell in the region where they moved from.

Br. Cuthbert is taller, with a beard, and he's very young, and cute, correct?

For my part, I think that O is running close to the optimal administration wrt to achieving real, lasting social progress in this country. I may end up being bitterly disappointed in that, but I think probably not.

Br Cuthbert is tall & young but shaved his beard since last you saw him -- Br Martin looks about half his real age (partly it is the early Beatles haircut ...)
