I wonder if Atrios reads the comments just to amuse himself. Oh, I'm sure he does.
This made me lol.
I know Ror, you're ok
At the very least, the Vice President

A laughable notion.
in fact, Ror, you're more than ok. You're a pal!

It's badmouthing you to point out you don't know what the fuck you're talking about regarding Quakers?
Good for Rahm. Bravo.
And they always frame this as a "democrat atatck" on CNN, when really it's in the sepeeration of powers

I'm making supper from an Italian recipe book I bought in Rome week before last. Ror & Miriam, if you're ever in my part of the world, you're always welcome to drop in for a home-made meal. I'm an excellent cook, my friends tell. me.

One of them does something experimental with plasma propulsion; I have to confess I don't know what the other one does.
The plasma guy had this little Cortina when I knew him a thousand years ago in a parallel dimension. Every time he tried to fix one thing he broke something else. Tried to change a tire; poked a hole in the muffler. Tried to remove the muffler; broke the exhaust manifold. We developed the verb "to Cortina" in his honor.
To be fair, that was, er, like 30 years ago and he might have learned to change a tire without triggering the apocalypse by now.
I say it's worth a try.
Dick's stuffed head might look good on Rahm's office wall.

Pfui.
It fails to take into account the basic fact that the MBA degree is predicated on the notion that there is 'management' as a seperate thing one can learn apart from the thing one is managing - such that an MBA can 'manage' a car company, pharmaceutical lab, hospital, day care, whatever, all in the exact same way with the same techniques for the same goals.
IOW, it fails to take into account that so much of the failure of American business started in the American business school - when they discarded facts for theory.

Since one of the main duties of a CEO is to get rid of anything that isn't profitable to the business, how does that prepare one for working in government, where the obligation is to do things that are necessary, but not profitable?

this is great...but I am still mistrustful of Rahm. Isn't he the same guy who steered the dems away from calling Bush out on the supplemental. He decried the Iraq war funding cut off, saying the Dems need to be careful not to become a "one-trick pony."

Odierno--maybe should be O-dunno
In an otherwise upbeat assessment, Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the second-ranking American commander in Iraq, told reporters that leaders of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia had been alerted to the Baquba offensive by widespread public discussion of the American plan to clear the city before the attack began. He portrayed the Qaeda leaders’ escape as cowardice, saying that “when the fight comes, they leave,” abandoning “midlevel” Qaeda leaders and fighters to face the might of American troops — just, he said, as they did in Falluja.
great...he calls them cowards for not walking into the meat grinder. That's why it is called guerrilla warfare and an insurgency.

Atrios isn't interested in my writing and my style isn't really what he is enjoys. That's cool. I don't care. Sure it would be nice, but all my threats and my bribes of quatloos aren't going to get him to change his mind. It's not that important to me. He cares about what he cares about.
Bush knows about this highs chool power of creating a group or gang of guys. Part of it is to "rank" the other guys. Call them names, insult them. He is the insulter in chief. He does it all the time with Ph.ds who he insults by saying "I'm the C Student and I'm the president."
The Ph.ds should tell him to go Frak himself. But they don't because they are polite and they probably want him to fund something.
This wanting to be accepted by people who dis you is probably related to the need for people to be loved and respected by their fathers. If they don't get the respect they try harder and suck up more. Yet if Bush was nice to them they would suddenly think, 'What is wrong with him that he likes a loser like me." Or they will suddenly become like Bush and bash the new supplicants.

the Brits were run out of the Jersies in the winter of 1776 to NY Island, because, as Washington's continentals were camped across the Delaware, the New Jersey folk started the "petit war" of ambuscades.
Washington picked up on how effective it was to corral small bands of Redcoats as they foraged (stold) the countryside for provisions (stealing farmer's pigs grains horses etc.).
These ambushes became the de rigor de facto warring mode of the nascent US army..

I want Cheney redfaced and sputtering as they lead him away.
Hey, Rahm E!
Don't forget to take all the Office o' V.P. money from 2001-2007 back!
Play By Rules To Get Paid
VP Cheney must either play, or not get paid.
The VP must disclose the following: If he is not going to let oversight occur of the security issues, then the adverse inference: He is not providng an example for his OVP personnel to comply.
How many people has OVP shifted out of EOP/WH to remove COngressional oversight of operations?
Cheney apepars to have created, used, and asserted powers of Congress and Judicial Branch: Ruling making, rele interpretation.
The VP has arguably illegally asserted powers only reserved to Congress via Article I and the Courts via Article III. Members of the OVP must ask: If they are not within the law, what is theler legal defense?
Members of the OVP must decie whether you are going to follow the OVP leadership and defy the Constution; or whethher you will break ranks and being falling under the Constitution. There is only one choice. Prepare to lose if you do not comply.
If only he will stick by his guns, but he won't. The democrats aren't playing the same game as the administration. To the administration, these are blood sports.
Darth Cheney will use the force and the democrats will once again back off like beaten dogs.
What about the Supreme Court ruling re: Cheney's energy meetings. What was his defense in that argument?? Anybody know off the top of their heads?
Sorry for the 2nd post...I looked it up and it appears that Cheney never invoked executive privilege according to John Dean - http://writ.news.findlaw.com/dea...n/

Cheney belongs somewhere in the Executive branch. I suggest the Bureau of Prisons.

This fuckin' administration is content to just hide within lawsuits for the rest of their fuckin' term. I just hope I live long enough to piss on their graves.
Having Congress acknowledge Cheney's claim of an independent Vice Presidency is exactly what Cheney wishes. While it might seem "clever" to use Cheney's own position against him, if Congress acts accordingly, then the framing of the argument has been set. Congress needs to operate under the assumption that the VP office is part of the Executive and start supoena proceedings for whatever documents they wish. Or they should help foster law suits from the private sector.
