I looked at the comments below for shits and grins, and see that all threads have the same number of visitors on line. That means it is not who has opened just this comment thread, but the total connections to www.haloscan.com/comments/atrios.
As someone that often opens comment boxes, and then leaves them open overnight, or on both computers, or wandered of to do something else, I would guess the actual number of people really reading at any one time is about half the number in "Visitors on line".

I said the other day that I didn't necessarily think that current DAG McNulty's resignation and the sneak testimony of former DAG Comey was related. Let me revise that opinion. With the perspective of a few days, I think they may well be related, if for no other reason than Schumer has simply lost patience with this charade.
Let me just explain a few details of note. First, Paul McNulty resigned while at a US Attorney's meeting in San Antonio. Gonzales was, as far as I know, back in DC preparing to blame everything on McNulty at the National Press Club. Now why would the DAG wait until he was with the 93 men and women--most of them former peers--who have been screwed over by this affair?
Marcy delivers, as usual. I'm so glad she pays such careful attention and noticed that Chuck Schumer started trying to get Comey's testimony before the judiciary committee FIFTEEN months ago, and Bushco fought it successfully for that long, until Schumer apparently finessed it last week. If so, I may have to consider letting Schumer out of the doghouse I've had him in since the Paul Hackett brouhaha.

It wasn't altogether uncomplicated (a scheduled c, but one that had to be bumped up for various reasons), but everybody is healthy if very, very tired. 7 lbs., 0 oz., another boy. His older brother, age six (formerly known as The Boy, now to be known as The Older Boy) is very excited, if a bit befuddled at all the wah'ing.

The most fascinating thing on the blogs today is the Dr. Laura story, son's myspace page had sadistic gruesome cartoons and sick violent thoughts about killing people.
I didn't know until recently that she spends most of her radio show glorifying her "warrior" son.
It's on Raw Story and the Salt Lake Tribune.

Just reading the Dr. Laura raw story comments I see that people know lots of stuff about her. The divorces, the out of wedlock story, and last, but not least, her mother decomposing in her apt. for some time before being found.
If political life in the US was fair someone would push this latest story onto the mainstream media, or at least the National Enquirer.

I feel the same way about the whole notion of Satan. Apparently we have an incredibly powerful being, capable of opposing God, who is only content with tempting you to fib and screw around--not say, subverting entire nations into believing that spilling blood and mutilating people is God's Way.
If the Devil is so diabolical, why is he not capable of, for instance, corrupting The Church and the Bible to turn us all vile in the eyes of God?
I know the usual response would be that God wouldn't allow it, but what about those "tests of faith" that are supposed to explain why God lets bad things happen to good people?
Perhaps the "war on terror" has been a big test of faith, and all the bloodthirsty goobers who applauded the Republican candidates for Grand Inquisitor dismally failed that test.

Unka smokes, i give you this again:
i used to believe that the Antichrist would be a figure of literally diaboilical cleverness. After all, he'd be possessed by the #2 guy in the universe, right?
But then i considered Satan. Satan knows God personally. He has first hand knowledge of just what 'allmighty' and 'all-knowing' mean. and Old Scratch went ahead and defied the Omnipotent anyway.
Satan is no genius. Oh, he's powerful, sure. but he's stubborn snd stupid and shortsighted, and fundamentally incapable of understanding consequences. He just bulls ahead and trusts in raw power and hopes for the best. And his firstborn, Antichrist, will be similar : dim, stubborn, foolish, relying on power and privelege and luck to succeed, and feeling put-upon when the 16 ton hammer falls on his head after he pulled the cord marked "Do not touch".
There's no figure of supernatural brilliance and cunning and charm in the world today to be Antichrist. but there are candidates to be the stupid model......

'ANOTHER TIME,' A BRITISH IMPORT, OPENS
Print
Save
By VINCENT CANBY
Published: July 11, 1984, Wednesday
THE luminous presense of Phyllis Logan, a fine young Scottish actress who, like Vanessa Redgrave, can look believably plain and unbelievably beautiful at almost the same second, lights up Michael Radford's ''Another Time, Another Place,'' a somber, extremely symmetrical new British film that opens today at the Lincoln Plaza Theater.
The film, directed by Mr. Radford and adapted by him from a novel by Jessie Kesson, is set in northern Scotland in 1944-45 and is about the liberating if frantically brief love affair of Janie (Miss Logan), the young wife of a taciturn, chilly-natured older farmer, and a young, hot-blooded Italian prisoner-of-war named Luigi (Giovanni Mauriello).

Then of course there was the abyssmal Casino Royale from 1967.
It's only saving grace was the title tune by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, and that beautiful slow-motion scene with a close-up of Peter sellers moving behind an aquarium while Dusty Springfield sings "The Look of Love."
Even with the Norden bombsight, WWII technology was such that hitting the broad side of a barn door you were aiming at from a B17 was considered to be amazing luck.
Let you in on some WWII hsitory: in WWII, quite often, in broad daylight, the bombers hit THE WRONG CITIES. Not the wrong target in the city, another damn city entirely. The reason that the malarky notion of "strategic" bombing was developed was to give a rationale for the existance of the bombing campaigns when their 'precision' bombing was that bad.
and the selling still goes on. During Gulf War I, we were treated to much about the incredible precision of US munitions. a few years later, very quietly, it was admitted that the famous cruise missle going in the window was an out-and-out fluke, and that the miss ratios were very high indeed.
since Billy Mitchell in 1925, they have been selling precision attacks from the air, and since 1925, it has been choco-coated bullshit......

Curtis LeMay knew that "pinpoint" bombing from WWII era bombers was a joke, which is why he liked to use incindiaries which didn't need to be accurately delivered to wreak havoc on the target city (as long as you hit the right city, of course).
WWII strategic bombing was so dreadful that the Air Force, in order to justify its existence, didn't bother to distribute the post war air campaign analysis very widely, because it demonstrated that strategic bombing's main effect was not to destroy infrastructure, but to divert manpower and materiel to air defense from other military uses.

1. Gonzales is lying about this little story, and there's never been a time in which he's had to keep the president from going too far. He's the quintessential "yes man," who does as he's told.
2. Gonzales is telling the truth, and the Attorney General/WH Counsel -- the one who's approved of abandoning the Geneva Conventions and the rule of law -- believes some of the president's other requests are beyond the pale.

Sweet.
Former president Jimmy Carter called President Bush's international relations "the worst in history" and also took aim at Bush's environmental policies and the administration's "quite disturbing" faith-based initiative program.
The criticism came in an interview with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, which reported Carter's remarks Saturday. The denunciation of a sitting president was unprecedented for Carter, a biographer said.
The former president also lashed out at British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Asked by BBC Radio how he would judge Blair's support of Bush, Carter said: "Abominable. Loyal. Blind. Apparently subservient. And I think the almost undeviating support by Great Britain for the ill-advised policies of President Bush in Iraq have been a major tragedy for the world."
In his interview with the Democrat-Gazette, Carter, who won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, criticized Bush for having "zero peace talks" in Israel. Carter also said the administration "abandoned or directly refuted" every negotiated nuclear arms agreement, as well as environmental efforts, by other presidents.
"I think as far as the adverse impact on the nation around the world, this administration has been the worst in history," Carter said. "The overt reversal of America's basic values as expressed by previous administrations . . . has been the most disturbing to me."
Carter said that Bush's policy of preemptive war, "where we go to war with another nation militarily, even though our own security is not directly threatened," was "a radical departure from all previous administration policies."
Carter also offered a harsh assessment for the White House's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, which helps religious charities receive billions in federal grants.
"As a traditional Baptist, I've always believed in separation of church and state and honored that premise when I was president, and so have all other presidents, I might say, except this one," he said.
God love ya, Jimmy.

Hacker: The whole defence staff agree? General: No, the navy want to keep it. Take away Trident, and they'd hardly have a role left. Hacker: And the RAF? General: You could ask them. If you're interested in the opinion of garage mechanics. They'd want to keep it. They want to drop the bomb from an aeroplane.

"Some GOP notables to miss Falwell rites By BOB LEWIS, Associated Press Writer
Fri May 18, 6:59 PM ET
U.S. Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) isn't planning to attend the Rev. Jerry Falwell's funeral Tuesday. Rival Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani can't make it, either.
Nor can former Virginia former governor and long-shot 2008 Republican presidential candidate Jim Gilmore.
While some Republican figures will attend next week's funeral in Lynchburg for the founder of the Moral Majority, many will not. Experts say that even with a presidential election looming, it's not a must-attend event — and there likely won't be political consequences for skipping it."
If I existed I would not be attending either.

Diane-- seriously, it rains all spring, which lasts right through June-- it rained 27 days in June last year. I'll get a break here and there-- enough time to run out and plant a few seeds. Then it'll stop raining, kinda, around Canada Day (July 1), and everything will be up.

Perhaps my shoes are covered with dust from the crumbled remains of an apostle. When the Rapture comes, my shoes will fly up, carrying me upside-down to Heaven.
Okay, maybe i should take a second here -
What i don't get is that the same ones, the very same ones, that insist that,say, that the fossil record or the red shift in the stars does not negate Genesis because God is "all-powerful" and can "do ANYTHING" will suddenly forget that in re burial. As though the God of Genesis, who can make men from clay and breath has lost the recipie and can't do that anymore, so all He can do is renaimate the intact husks of the departed faithful.
dingdammit, i can understand that they don't face external logic well. but can't they try for some internal logic at least?

Justice Clarence Thomas sat through 68 hours of oral arguments in the Supreme Court‘s current term without uttering a word.
In nearly 16 years on the court, Thomas typically has asked questions a couple of times a term.
But the last time Thomas asked a question in court was Feb. 22, 2006, in a death penalty case out of South Carolina. A unanimous court eventually broadened the ability of death-penalty defendants to blame someone else for the crime.
A recent tally by McClatchy Newspapers underscored this point: Thomas has spoken 281 words since court transcripts began identifying justices by name in October 2004. By contrast, Thomas‘ neighbor on the bench, Justice Stephen Breyer , has uttered nearly 35,000 words since January.

Richard, the BEST Army nuke was the "Nuclear Rifle" that was a flop because the crew that fired it was inside the warhead's blast radius.
My God, what a fucking piece of insanity (check out the photo)...
Davy Crockett (nuclear device) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dav...clear_device%
29
The M-388 Davy Crockett was a tactical nuclear recoilless rifle projectile that was deployed by the United States during the Cold War. It was named after American soldier, Congressman and folk hero Davy Crockett (1786-1836).
One of the smallest nuclear weapons ever built, the Davy Crockett was developed in the late 1950s for use against Soviet troops in West Germany. Small teams of the Atomic Battle Group (charged with operating the device) would be stationed every few kilometers to guard against Soviet attack, using the power of their nuclear artillery shells to kill or incapacitate advancing troop formations and irradiate the area so that it was uninhabitable for up to 48 hours, long enough to mobilize NATO forces.
U.S. officials view a Davy Crockett casing.The M-388 round used a version of the W54 warhead, a very small sub-kiloton fission device. The Mk-54 weighed about 51 lb (23 kg), with a selectable yield of 10 or 20 tons (very close to the minimum practical size and yield for a fission warhead). The complete round weighed 76 lb (34.5 kg). It was 31 in. (78.7 cm) long with a diameter of 11 in. (28 cm) at its widest point; a subcaliber piston at the back of the shell was actually inserted into the launcher's barrel for firing. [1]
The Davy Crockett could be launched from either of two launchers: the 4-inch (120 mm) M28, with a range of about 1.25 mi (2 km), or the 6-in (155 mm) M29, with a range of 2.5 mi (4 km). Both weapons used the same projectile, and could be mounted on a tripod launcher or carried by truck or armored personnel carrier. They were operated by a three-man crew. [2]
Both recoilless guns proved to have poor accuracy in testing, so the shell's greatest effect would have been its extreme radiation hazard. Even at a low yield setting, the M388 would produce an almost instantly lethal radiation dosage (in excess of 10,000 rem) within 500 feet (150 m), and a probably fatal dose (around 600 rem) within a quarter mile (400 meters). [3]

Listen: Everyone needs some sort of moral construct for their lives. (At least I would hope that is so, Republicans do not count in this.) If you can build your own through learning and experience you have little need of an outside system of beliefs to predicate your own belief system upon. But if you are predisposed to accepting the conventional wisdom that has been garnered through the ages and recorded as what we call a religion, then you can go that route.
Some of the problems arise when your belief system (and everyone has got something - even Republicans) conflicts with the accepted belief system; either societal or religious. In that case it leads to dissonance that is often expressed as cynicism.
Other problems arise when someone for purposes (usually involving either money, power, or one of the seven deadly sins) decides that their religion is the only true religion and it is necessary to either stamp out all other religions or convert them all - whether they want to be or not. (and those who have their own belief systems? Well, just fuck them cause they are NOT religious at all)
And on and on.

Considering that it would very likely kill our own troops as well as the enemy, that name seems entirely appropriate.
The hardest one in the country is CA. Only 50% of takers pass. The dean of the Stanford Law School failed the fucker a few years ago. NY, which is considered the second-most difficult, has about a 66% pass rate. I would rather slit my wrists than take that CA bar.

my Catholic, pro-life, Scalia -loving brother refused to stand in my wedding b/c it was teh EVIL
I can only imagine what kind of wedding that was, given what I've seen at Catholic weddings (my late husband's family was Catholic). The term 'pagan' does not do the ceremony justice, not to mention the reception and 'party' afterward. Of course, alcohol was served at both events.
What you need for your wedding is Jesus, two rings, a Bible, and your closet living relatives. Everything if else is a taint.

Thanks! Only trout has season restrictions here in forest preserves. This particular lake had a keeper restriction of 14" on bass and 18" on walleye, but that's it.

Gingrich's rant decrying separation of church and state is ill=timed, coming so soon after Falwell's death. Falwell's life, in service of doctrinaire intolerance, left both the country and Christianity poorer for it. Its consequences should give pause to those who disagree with the Founders, who enshrined separation of church and state in the very core document of the country...

Opposition parties pounced on news reports Friday about the 200-page handbook as proof that the Conservatives are to blame for the toxic atmosphere that has paralyzed Parliament this week.
"The government's deliberate plan is to cause a dysfunctional, chaotic Parliament," Liberal House Leader Ralph Goodale told the House of Commons.
New Democrat Libby Davies said the manual explodes the Tories' contention that opposition parties are to blame for the parliamentary constipation.

I have lived in Yuppie Hollow (Home of the Thornton Wilder Act-Alike Contest) for 12 years now. In all of that time I cannot remember more than one house at a time being for sale in this particular location. There are now five (of the fifty or so house that make up the neighborhood) This is simply remarkable. As this is sort of a prestige (but not really a yuppie type neighborhood) place I am amazed.
The economy in this area is simply dreadful. The jobs are going fast. There is little money and the places that are here are cutting salaries and wages. The gas prices are claiming the rest of any extra money. Several of the houses are for sale so the owners can try to downsize into less desirable neighborhoods.
Oh, just FUCK BUSH.
But if you want a lovely home (four or five bedrooms with pools and hot tubs and the rest - freshly remodeled and the rest. NICE places that would please Martha Stewart for crying out loud) for < $190. Come on down.

Five bedrooms with a family room with fireplace, mud room off the garage, large master bedroom suite, living room, beautifully landscaped yard, two and half stall garage, in a class AAA neighborhood and they are asking 195 and you can get it for less.

Another successful White House tantrum
... And sure enough, Wolfie's final exit strategy, it turned out, wasn't Wolfie's at all. It was the White House's from start to finish...On a dime it went from begging the bank board not to oust Wolfowitz to daring it to do so -- and by splashing, not submersing, all the substantiated facts unfavorable to him in the termination document. And that bizarre U-turn forced this response, said a bank official close to the negotiations: "It’s going to be difficult for the board to drop its charges against him, but they’re going to have to do it if they want to resolve this."
But that doesn't quite add up, does it? Why, one might ask, would the bank "have to" commit such a phony, insincere act -- that is, whitewash all those substantiated facts -- just to properly rid itself of its hapless chief executive?
Why? Because the White House was correctly counting on the bank to be the adult....And that was what should have been the lead story -- the one that framed and defined the fiasco. Childish bullying and brinkmanship.
Think about it. The White House was willing to risk what very little it had in the way of amicable relations with world leaders just to defend its boy at the bank.

"The White House was willing to risk what very little it had in the way of amicable relations with world leaders just to defend its boy at the bank."
This administration spends so much time and energy on protecting their little plants and plots that I would not be surprised to see them set up an entire operation just to coordinate it all. They are so afraid and covetous of their conspiracies that anything is a threat. Imagine it, they likely have a entire op devoted to watching Squirrel and Moose. They could be a problem just like they were for Boris and Natasha.

For Steve Simels,
"LINCOLN, R.I. -- Tommy Tutone made the phone number 867-5309 famous in a 1982 song.
Now, a Rhode Island company and a national firm are battling over the right to use the number, which doesn't reach the "Jenny" that Tutone sings about, but could find callers a decent plumber.
Two years ago, Gem Plumbing & Heating of Lincoln, R.I., trademarked the phone number, which works in the 401 area code in Rhode Island and the 617 area code in southern Massachusetts. Florida-based Clockwork Home Services uses a toll-free version of it in New England.
Gem won round one in its legal fight over the number when a federal judge in Boston barred Clockwork from using the number in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, effective this week.
Tommy (Tutone) Heath said he would prefer if neither company used the number. "It's ridiculous," he said. "If I wanted to get into it, I could probably take the number away from both of them.""

So here's Lene on "Top of the Pops" doing either a re-record specifically for the show or the original single version - can't quite recall the genealogy of that song, but like most Stiff Records*, it's cloudy.
His pre-solo work fronting The Faces with Ron Wood is some really fun rock and roll. They were like a junior Stones as far as taking over a venue is concerned.

"The House ethics committee has declared that an earmark requested by Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) to build a commuter transit center near a handful of properties he owns would not be an impermissible financial conflict because any benefit to Calvert would be shared by other similarly situated landowners.
Just let that sit a little bit. Calvert used his power as a lawmaker to appropriate $5.6 million in taxpayer dollars to build a transit center that's within walking distance of seven of his properties (ranging from office and/or retail buildings to a storage facility). But there's no conflict there, mostly because any financial benefit Calvert achieved “would be experienced as a member of a class of landholders in the vicinity of the transit Center.” You can read the ethics committee's opinion letter here. Here's a map of Calvert's properties (click to enlarge):
In other words, because Calvert's aren't the only buildings that might financially benefit from the transit center, there's no conflict. Or as the committee puts it in its own artfully contorted language: "We conclude that it is within your discretion for you to conclude that your properties do not constitute a financial interest in the earmark supporting the Corona Transit Center.""

I understand Jimmy Carter will be on This Week tomorrow, despite being not listed below. Maybe they'll cut some of Rachel Ray's thirty minutes.
ABC's "This Week." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.; Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.; talk show host Rachael Ray.
CBS's "Face the Nation." Sens. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; military historian Fred Kagan; retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton.
NBC's "Meet the Press." Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., presidential candidate; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich; Douglas Brinkley, editor of President Reagan's diaries; Michael Deaver, Reagan's deputy chief of staff; Ed Meese, Reagan administration attorney general.
CNN's "Late Edition." Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff; Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez; Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and Mel Martinez, R-Fla.; Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-Calif.; Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, presidential candidate; Shibley Telhami of the Brookings Institution; Vali Nasr of the Council on Foreign Relations.
"Fox News Sunday." Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor; Paul Hays, former House reading clerk.
Fuck, Mike Deaver will be on Press the Meat. I see that's about the Reagan diaries coming out, but I'd sure like to hear him drawn into commenting on Bushco, or maybe Meese will critique Abu. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032608/
