GravatarEvening folks. Watching a marathon of "Titanic" shows on the History channel.

GravatarTrademark Dave, I got my bumperstickers today. Going out to Pelosi and my Rep on Monday. In my Nancygram post I'll of course be linking to http://www.dumpbushnow.us/


GravatarWell the Orange Satan was understandable.


Gravatarspying just on the terrarists and democrats.


GravatarI totally did not mean to spy on those 100,000,000 people. Honest Injun.


GravatarSo true.


GravatarGeorge is king, what other explanation do we need? And you are either a loyal subject, or ought to be beheaded as a traitor...


GravatarSatan's a nice guy when you get to know him.


GravatarBTW, in case you missed it below... I'm putting on the ol' Carnac turbin and predicting tomorrow's Wanker of the Day... today!*

And the answer is (sealed in a mayonnaise jar... Funk 'n Wagnall's porch...)... David Ignatius!

Try to imagine what was running through the mind of Hassan Kazemi Qomi, Iran’s ambassador to Baghdad, as he sat across the negotiating table from his American counterpart, Ryan Crocker, last week. While the U.S. diplomat delivered his stern warning against Iranian meddling in Iraq, Qomi must have wondered: Why should I listen to this guy? Congress is going to start pulling U.S. troops out soon, no matter what he says.

That's the difficulty for Crocker and Gen. David Petraeus as they try to manage a stable transition in Iraq while Congress chants ever more loudly: "Troops out! Troops out!" It's hard for anyone to take American power seriously when prominent members of Congress are declaring the war already lost...


* Technically, it's just now tomorrow back east... but it's still today here on the Left Coast!


Gravatardrawn and quartered.


GravatarThey were eavesdropping on whoever they wanted to without any warrants or oversight.

Yep.

Fucking fuckers thought they would rule forever and no one would ever have the sac or the opportunity to ask questions.


GravatarChimpeachment is the only answer.


GravatarDid the Orange Satan write the Orange Catholic Bible?


GravatarSo then, what the hell are you willing to do?


Could it be that the reason I feel the way I do is that I just don't fucking know?


GravatarAsking questions is one thing. Getting answers is another.


GravatarI got my bumperstickers today. Going out to Pelosi and my Rep on Monday.

Cool!

I'm thinking of dropping off a bunch of these at her SF office in the near future. I get the feeling her staff might dig 'em...


GravatarDid the Orange Satan write the Orange Catholic Bible?
Orange is the protestant color


GravatarIt might not be clear, but who in their right mind believes they didn't?


GravatarSo then, what the hell are you willing to do?

Could it be that the reason I feel the way I do is that I just don't fucking know?


Prolly.

You've got a nice out! You won't take suggestions people give, and you won't brainstorm.

Sadly, this is exactly the disempowerment we have to fight against...


GravatarActually, the only way we'll ever know is if someone talks.

And they won't while Bush and Cheney are in power because they know they'll be prosecuted. I predict that as soon as they're out of office, all kinds of people will start speaking out.


GravatarThe accountability question is the one that must be asked. Will you stand for the Constitution you are sworn to uphold or will you stand for the Republican party? Choose now.

(And if you choose party, you MUST be impeached as well, you do realize that this is a trick question, right?)


GravatarI'm thinking of dropping off a bunch of these at her SF office in the near future. I get the feeling her staff might dig 'em...

YES!

I prolly should order some of those next. Thinking I might keep the campaign open longer than until August 2nd...


GravatarWhat was that program that creepy felon John Poindexter was placed in charge of, Total Information Awareness? They might as well have just called it Spies R Us.


GravatarOT, but here's what the mutant kitten looks like today:

GravatarThe accountability question is the one that must be asked. Will you stand for the Constitution you are sworn to uphold or will you stand for the Republican party? Choose now.


You are unpatriotic for suggesting that!!

/ random republican


GravatarQuestion: Would they do what they have done if they ever thought they were no longer going to be running the country?

And a follow-up: What exactly is it that makes them so confident they will always be running the country?


GravatarI prolly should order some of those next.

I agree!

BTW, I left a comment on your insurance post, believe it or not...

Have you done everything you can do to make your house energy efficient? replaced all the light bulbs? installed double paned windows?

Do you drive an energy efficient vehicle?

There's lots you can do. And even if you only hang the laundry out occasionally, it's better than nothing.


GravatarI still don't understand why the wingnuts are so behind protecting the Toy Penis. They have to know Hillary Clinton is about to inherent his kingly powers.

Nah.

GravatarI think that weird tail deserves it's own name. Maddie and ?


GravatarDid Dr. KAtvorkian have anything for the 'Dick' Cheney today, hopefully.


GravatarYou've got a nice out! You won't take suggestions people give, and you won't brainstorm.




What suggestions have I turned down? Giving up my clothes dryer? I'm sorry I've not been brainstorming. At this point in my life, I'm barely able to have a coherent conversation. This is not an out.


Sadly, this is exactly the disempowerment we have to fight against...


At least I've done something. I've showed us what we're up against.


GravatarMaddie is indeed teh gorgeous.

But Ripley is such a cutie, too.


Yes she is.


GravatarThey obviously claimed the power to do so, it just isn't clear if they did it. - Atrios

GravatarFucking fuckers thought they would rule forever and no one would ever have the sac or the opportunity to ask questions.
Mr French


Naaaaah. They don't care about questions. They know that the Democrats will take over and "rescind" all those sweet, sweet spying powers the Preznit granted himself.

And the Dems will raise taxes, reduce wasteful spending, balance the budget, and then in 8 or 12 years the Cons will say, "The Dems raised your taxes: they suck."

And the People will elect a Republican government and taxes will be lowered on the rich, wars will be started, and secret spy powers will be wielded again.


GravatarThis should be grounds for impeachment.

If our government allows (executed by the executive branch and complied with by the inaction of Congress) such unconstitutional actions to occur then it should be overthrown, non-violently or otherwise.


GravatarWhat Are They Hiding?

You?


GravatarHave you done everything you can do to make your house energy efficient? replaced all the light bulbs? installed double paned windows?

I can't afford to replace the windows. So I made lined (with teflon outwards) and interlined curtains for all the windows, and I keep them mostly closed. I read somewhere that what I get from them equals triple-pane level of energy savings. Not sure if that is true.


Gravatarfourlegs gets it!

Yes, yes and not possible. I've not been able to add the radiant barrier in my attic yet. But I have R38 right now.

The house we're likely buying in Oshkosh has a very cool big, thick sliding door so that we can completely cut off the upper floor and not heat & cool it when we don't have guests.

Very happy about that.


GravatarIt wasn't clear if they didn't.

Burden on proof on the defendant.

Otherwise what few(if any) measley convictions they've garned via spying would be overturned...

If their program gets a conviction, then its presumption standard should grant a wide swath of standing to chellenges in court for anyone in the USA.

When is is violence ever non-painful?


GravatarRon Paul is for coat hangers.


GravatarWhen is is violence ever non-painful?

When you're wicked drunk.


GravatarHere's an article about an Austin couple who went completely green. Their June electic bill was $11.47.

http://www.statesman.com/news/ co...28conserve.html


GravatarFor all the latest news, key reports, document releases and other essential materials surrounding the NSA illegal domestic surveillance scandal, visit:
- The NSA Domestic Surveillance Scandal Documents Center


GravatarRon Paul is a nutjob, and he almost stole my name.


GravatarMr. Murder, I suspect they don't care about legal convictions.

Blackmail is probably a hobby amongst them. And then there's the notion that if Bush says you're an enemy, you're an enemy.


GravatarVia Orange Satan, from tomorrow's Times:

...As far as we can tell, there are three possible explanations for Mr. Gonzales’s talk about a dispute over other — unspecified — intelligence activities. One, he lied to Congress. Two, he used a bureaucratic dodge to mislead lawmakers and the public: the spying program was modified after Mr. Ashcroft refused to endorse it, which made it “different” from the one Mr. Bush has acknowledged. The third is that there was more wiretapping than has been disclosed, perhaps even purely domestic wiretapping, and Mr. Gonzales is helping Mr. Bush cover it up.

Democratic lawmakers are asking for a special prosecutor to look into Mr. Gonzales’s words and deeds. Solicitor General Paul Clement has a last chance to show that the Justice Department is still minimally functional by fulfilling that request.

If that does not happen, Congress should impeach Mr. Gonzales.


GravatarSpying on the Kerry Campaign or the Dem Party is probably the one thing that would make the loyal Bushies balk. Smart money says that Ashcroft balked at that point.


GravatarKucinich, 'cause he ain't working for the big money lobby.
Ron Paul is about the samething, but republican.


GravatarHave you done everything you can do to make your house energy efficient? replaced all the light bulbs? installed double paned windows?

Buy energy efficient appliances!
Of course, you know, I own an appliance store.


GravatarClinton
Obama
Paul*
Kucinich
Biden


Quite an interesting list. What do YOU think of each candidate?


Gravatar*though Republican, my judgement is that Paul is an honest guy, and I am a state's rights/small federal government kinda guy.

He's a nutter.


GravatarWe will rue the day if Ron Paul ever gets elected President.


GravatarSpying on the Kerry Campaign or the Dem Party is probably the one thing that would make the loyal Bushies balk. Smart money says that Ashcroft balked at that point.

Yep, that about sums it up.


GravatarHere's an article about an Austin couple who went completely green. Their June electic bill was $11.47.

Fucking commies. But I'll bet they still use toilet paper.


Gravatar*though Republican, my judgement is that Paul is an honest guy, and I am a state's rights/small federal government kinda guy.

GravatarWhat would be cool is that I didn't have to pay 4 cents extra per KWh for "green" electrons.


GravatarWhen is is violence ever non-painful?
tbhull
Violence may be against property or people. People feel the pain.


GravatarI wouldn't eat spinach with anyone on that list...


GravatarRon Paul is a bit of a looney (though not as crazy as the wingnuts in the GOP).

He's just a looney Libertarian that thinks the "free market" is perfect.

If he wasn't against this war (which he has been from the beginning), no one would have ever heard of him.

GravatarSpying on the Kerry Campaign or the Dem Party is probably the one thing that would make the loyal Bushies balk. Smart money says that Ashcroft balked at that point.

If so, it's just amazing. After all those Republicans went to prison and their boss quit the White House, that these Republicans would so eagerly do it again.


GravatarMy impression of Ron Paul (no Rich Little jokes, please) is that he hates women and anybody else who is not a white male. He also hates government funding of anything but defense, including things like schools and infrastructure.

Only thing really in his favor is that he knew from the start that the neocons were nuts.


GravatarMarkos Moulitsas is a threat to mankind!


GravatarI wouldn't eat spinach with anyone on that list...

Never eat spinach with a stranger.


GravatarLindsay, clean fucking hippie | 07.29.07 - 12:28 am | #

Exactly. He gets a point or two for recognizing the insane neocons, but that's it.


Gravatar"They obviously claimed the power to do so, it just isn't clear if they did it."

A more appropriate phrasing may be: They obviously claimed the power to do so, it just isn't clear to whom they did it.

And going from there to the semi-recent ruling that you have no grounds to sue unless you can somehow prove that you were spied upon you can see why they will fight tooth and nail to keep this under wraps until the lists are pried from their cold, imprisoned fingers.


GravatarI have an old fridge. I should change it. Do you have any recommendations?

Almost all the new ones are far more energy efficient than the old ones.


GravatarIf so, it's just amazing. After all those Republicans went to prison and their boss quit the White House, that these Republicans would so eagerly do it again.

Its just something that the republicans are partial to, you know, just like Pinky and The Brain. total world domination.


GravatarJosh sure seems like a troll fishing for oppo research or trying to sidetrack everything into pointless rehashing of obviousness.


GravatarViolence may be against property or people. People feel the pain.

Violence against property can be painful to the people who own it.


GravatarQuite an interesting list. What do YOU think of each candidate?
NTodd, Fanciest


Clinton: A little to tied to protecting Israel interests. Probably a little to mainstream for me. I also shy away from Christian candidates.

Obama: I like Obama--I think he means well--but he's starting to do the Kerry thing: I'm tough, I love God, I have to watch what I say

Paul: Understands and is willing to say what is destroying American democracy. Though a Christian, his state's rights mentality, I can work with.

Biden: Honest and smart.


GravatarAll Republicans have an authoritarian streak in them, that's why they will go down with Bush. The more of an asshole he is, the more the GOP will follow him.


GravatarKucinich: Honest, actually wants to do what his heart tells him.


GravatarIf so, it's just amazing. After all those Republicans went to prison and their boss quit the White House, that these Republicans would so eagerly do it again.

Well, not really.

They never thought they did anything wrong during Watergate.

So they would feel completely justified in doing it again.


GravatarThanks for the link 4lg.


I'm looking to see if I can get some kind of subsidy to install some solar panels on my enormous roof.


GravatarBiden: Honest and smart.



GravatarThe original powershare agreement with photovoltaic community college sources was ridiculously subsidized and prorated in favor of big energy.

It became a model for later power sharing agreements in Cali and eslewhere. Enron was grid sharing on steroids.

Entergy was the power company on the grid, unsurprisingly that company was a big part of sharing Enron cash on paper/actual transfer of power.


GravatarKucinich: A little to Big Fed Government for me, just from what I've heard--though I couldnt give you any direct instances off the top of my head.


GravatarQuit beating yourself up. You're waaaaaay ahead of the curve

If everyone starts by doing what they can, improvement will be made.

This can be doing all the eco things they can think of or it could be researching newer ways of conserving resources.

BTW, did you know?
per 1,000 sq foot of roof, you can get 623 gallons of fresh water per inch of rain fall, out of the rain gutters?
My roses, and other flowers are very happy with this issue. They get better water (the water utility here pumps alkali water to your house, bleuuuck!) , and my water bill is less.


GravatarBTW, these guys are running a Police show from '79.

Right now, they're doing a charmingly out-of-tune version of "Message in a Bottle"...

Just sayin'.


GravatarJust me, 26 and no where to go in this lonely town on a saturday night. But I love this stuff


GravatarLet's connect a couple more dots, shall we?

IN 1998, MI6 didn't want to turn Bin Laden over to the CIA, if they could catch him, unless the CIA could give assurances Bin Laden would not be tortured.

Astute readers will note that was before Bush was elected. Tell me again everything will be different with a Democrat in the White House, and all this wiretapping will just go away, or Congress will forcibly eliminate it.

The CIA couldn't do that.

The energy of slaves. We've gotten used to using sources of energy which are not replenishable, mostly petroleum based. It created a shift uknown in human history, one so dramatic we assumed it would last forever.

It won't. And what was once natural (flooding, hurricanes) are now disasters we simply can't cope with. Where I live in Houston, people used to live on farms not 70 years ago. If a hurricane swept through they went inside, and came out when it stopped. They picked up the debris, lit the lamps, pumped their water, and went on.

GravatarExplaining the shift in Biden's treatment of Princeton from Tuesday to Wednesday, the senator's press secretary Chip Unruh said in an email: "Senator Biden was simply criticizing Princeton's pre-1970s admissions policy that excluded women and lacked diversity. But he knows that just like people, institutions have the ability to change and Princeton has changed for the better. He applauds Princeton for the gains it has made and continues to make."

Some people say they gamble now and then for pleasure
And drink a little whiskey just to please a friend
They say it's really nothing, you've got to be broadminded
That word in my Bible is spelled "s-i-n".

That broadminded mother goes out and joins a party
There's nothing wrong in drinking and dancing with a friend
And then on Sunday morning, she'll say she loves her savior
She should be begging God to forgive her of her sin.

You have to know where to look for the cheaper stuff. You can find it, even in Manhattan.


GravatarBet nobody can name any Vermont movies...

Night of the Living Syrupheads.


GravatarI've long been under the impression that this was an automated multi-language voice recognition and transcription system (with literally thousands of supercomputer-class machines) that, once it flagged someone for the use of a suspicious phrase, would find other entities contacted by the flagged "suspect" and flag them for monitoring as well. And so on and so on... No probable cause, but it creates an ever-expanding web of "suspects" to monitor all phone calls and email threads of the whole class of "suspects." This would form a massive database to then be data-mined. The system also used the giant database of telephone company call/billing records to flag other related entities that had any relation to one of its "suspects." The potential for abuse of such a system is tremendous. If true, it could potentially spread its web over a significant percentage of the (totally innocent) US population, transcribing and storing everything in real time.

At least that's what I gathered from James Risen's "State of War," who was also the author if the NYT story (plus other tech sources as well.)

Creepy stuff and definitely illegal - but that's why they decided that they could not comply with FISA. They didn't even know for sure who was to be monitored, as the system would "crawl" to wherever the flags led it in the communications network based on what it finds.

I suspect that up until 2004, when Ashcroft needed surgery, he never looked into the details of what the NSA system did and just signed off on it. But Comey might have wanted to know more before renewing approval. When he found out that it was operating the way it did, he objected and others joined him. Then they somehow scaled down the program to squeak out some basic level of legal sign-off, naming the modified version of the program "Terrorist Surveillance Program" and Gonzales has been treating the new version as a whole different program in some of his testimony. All of the disabled "features" are now referred to as "other intelligence activities" - that no one is willing to talk about. And once Gonzales became the guy to do the sign-offs, who knows if they haven't gone and re-enabled all of the features? It wouldn't surprise me. Remember that when Negroponte moved from DNI to Sate Dept, it was rumored that he wasn't comfortable with the increased level of wiretap surveillance that Cheney was insisting upon and moved over to save his own ass, and they replaced him with someone more "loyal."

GravatarAll right, here are the answers:

Movies with scenes filmed in or around Tracy: 1. "Take the Money and Run." The "chain gang" scenes were filmed in the San Joaquin Delta outside of Tracy. Woody Allen actually spoke at a lunch meeting of the local Chamber of Commerce during the filming. 2. "The Candidate" with Robert Redford. There's a parade sequence with cheerleaders and bands that was filmed during the high school homecoming parade. There's also a conference room scene that was filmed at the local newspaper office. A friend's sister actually ran lines with Redford there.

Another movie filmed in Santa Rosa: "Smile" with Bruce Dern. Directed by Michael Ritchie, who also directed "The Candidate."

And the movie filmed in Stockton? John Huston's "Fat City." Shot exclusively on the seedy side of town. The auditorium where the big fight scene is held is where I saw Blood, Sweat and Tears, Cheech and Chong, Supertramp, and the Kinks, to name but a few...

There wasn't enough poop in that movie to make it believable.


GravatarIt is city building code that all New Yorkers have sex swings in their apartments.


GravatarBTW, there's a scene in "American Graffiti" where Richard Dreyfuss is hooking up a wire to the axle of a police car. The soundtrack for those few minutes - with the sound of a freight train in the background - is a perfect fucking rendition of the sounds of a summer night in a podunk little town like Modesto.

That and the scene out by the canal are letter-perfect renditions of the environment Lucas grew up in.


GravatarManhattan = Topeka on the Hudson


GravatarDon't get me started on audience issues - just as the Simpsons film was starting after 15 minutes of trailers, some teenager runs down the aisle, plops into the seat next to me and coughs through the whole thing while apparently trying to see if he could get his knee to touch the seat on the other side of me. On the plus side, he did not have any friends to necessitate checking his cellphone every 5 minutes. I understood why.

GravatarThe fact is NTodd has collected nothing but crap. Its a head game!!


Gravatar"Could someone tuck me in while Thers sings Spider Pig?"

Gravatarok, I want to apologize for the warm milk comment . . . . and the "testosterone" response I gave about an hour ago, which I thought was absolutely funny,


yeah.


Gravatarmy guess as to what we're going to find out - the Bush administration, post 9/11, got all major cell phone, regular phone, internet, etc. providers to agree to data sharing. all conversations, ALL of them, recorded and entered into a search-able database, and then they spent lots of time and money searching for specific terms, anything they didn't like not just terrorism-related. and they used the info to fuck with, trail, follow, spy on, hound, arrest and imprison people, all with illegally obtained information. if you wrote your friend an email or text about wanting to get some weed, its in there. if you had an angry conversation about hating Bush, its in there. what else could be so bad that they'd go to these lenghts?

GravatarLike I said.


Gravatarartemesia,

Yeah, I agree, it's something along those lines. What else would make even Ashcroft threaten to resign? He is an insane fanatic. Most anything would have been okay with Ashcroft. Unless it included covert murder, kidnapping or the like, I can't think of anything other than fixing elections or spying on the Democrats. Something along those lines.


GravatarEdwards petition:

Thanks for adding your name to our BIG message calling for Alberto Gonzales to remember the Constitution and resign.

We're closing in fast on our goal of 25,000 signatures. If we get there, we'll put all the names at the bottom of a GIANT copy of the Constitution and deliver it straight to Gonzales' office in Washington, D.C.. He'll never forget it!

Can you help us hit the goal by forwarding this note to everyone in your address book who might want to join this effort? They can add their name here:
