Iran 'behind Green Zone attack'
The most senior US general in Iraq has said he has evidence that Iran was behind Sunday's bombardment of Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone.
Gen David Petraeus told the BBC he thought Tehran had trained, equipped and funded insurgents who fired the barrage of mortars and rockets.
weeeeee!!!!
What was Rep. Gravel thinking?
I have seen the enemy, and the enemy is us?
Sgt. Rock is going to help me!
He still makes more sense than McStain.

Corey Carter spends a quarter of his paycheck on gas. Carter, who earns $7 an hour at a Hyundai factory near Montgomery, Alabama, spends $65 a week on gas. Residents of his hometown, Camden, pay a bigger chunk of their income for fuel than anyone else in the country, a study says. "You're working for gas now,"
And gas is still too cheap in the US.
Where employers are located far from convenient public transit so that their employees must commute, employers should be forced to pay for the commuting costs.
I urge Barack Obama to adopt and promote this position.
Not.
i dont think they should still be called "insurgents". i mean it has been 5 years. they should be called "notgoingawayeasyents" or something.

Wow, Petraeus' comment comes just days after McVain's "senior moment."
Wait, this is a metaphor for.... something. Isn't it?

Iran 'behind Green Zone attack'
See, the attack came from the east. If you go several hundred miles "behind" where the mortars were viola, Iran!
The rock was supplied by Iran!

By almost every measure, Yee's tour at Guantánamo was a nightmare, offending his sensibilities as an American and a Muslim. For 10 months, from November 2002 to September 2003, Yee says, he bore witness to man's inhumanity to man as the Guantánamo prisoners were systematically beaten and humiliated by U.S. military police and interrogators.
Yee says he was horrified to see "religion used as a weapon" against Guantánamo detainees — as prisoners told him of detainees being forced to bow down in the middle of a satanic circle in an interrogation room and profess that Satan was their god, not Allah. Detainees were mocked during prayer and taunted or teased sexually by American women while chained. At first, Yee thought it an act of compassion that Guantánamo detainees were allowed to keep a Quran in their cells. But the detainees begged Yee to have them taken away, he says, for American MPs took such delight in mishandling the books or breaking their bindings during random searches.

step by step, bush is determined to hit iran. via laura rozen/ft:
US designates Iran central Bank:
Washington has called on international financial institutions to steer clear of doing business with Iran’s central bank, in the US’s most wide-ranging attempt yet to isolate Tehran financially.
The Treasury department has issued a warning of the risks of doing business with 51 state-owned and seven privately held Iranian banks – in effect the whole of Iran’s banking sector. The list includes institutions specialising in export financing and foreign investment, as well as Iranian state-owned banks located as far away as Venezuela, Hong Kong and the UK.
The move is an attempt to raise pressure on Tehran through measures that fall short of formal sanctions but go further than the private warnings US officials have delivered to regulators and financiers in recent months.

Where's the post I demanded about Atrios setting himself on fire with Palestinian biofuels?

over at dailyhowler.com bob somerby hits another homer in helping expose our modern so caled liberals. these white folk elite liberals are partly to blame for the demise of the democratic party over the last 30 years. maybe when this branch of old phonies die off the party may possible regain what it once stood for. not the party it now is; the party of tea sipping phonies that suck up to mccain and let downn al gore in 2000. it will be good ridance to the latte drinking phonies; the same phonies that are now pushing obama on us and will give us saint mccain for 8 years or till he kicks the bucket.

I thought the Cheney quote was "So?"
Dead threaded
I'm sitting here in a cafe where a 38 year old guy with tatooes is tutoring a 13 year old kid on writing. He didn't do his homework (to write something) so the guy just gave him grief. Now he is asking him to read a story out of the Chronicle about China. He is having problems with some words.
I had problems (still do) with grammar but I was always a big reader.
He is telling him that without a good education he will end up in jail
--TRUE STORY up to this point--
My next thoughts of what will happen...
So the kid says, "George W. Bush was a C student and he got to be President, so I guess getting good grades and writing and speaking well don't really matter, Mr. A student 10 bucks an hour tutor"
So the tutor leaps across the table and slaps the kid and says, "George W. Bush is a disaster as a President. Is THAT YOUR STANDARD?" Then he turns to me and says, 'Any fraking republicans in this place? Because if there are I want you to see what kind of shit you are encouraging with your worship of your idiot C student worship."
Well, that was an interesting show.

Where employers are located far from convenient public transit so that their employees must commute, employers should be forced to pay for the commuting costs.
Hey, I'd kinda like that.
Realistically speaking, though, some people choose to live close to the office, and others do not. Some people choose to drive pickup trucks and Grand Cherokees to the office, and others Prii and Civics.
I can see how the people who live down the road from the office would resent a commuting subsidy for people like me who drive in from twenty miles away, as I would object to covering the commuting costs of the dickhead who drove forty miles every morning in his F350 4x4.
A per diem mileage charge would serve as a partial subsidy to the wasteful, rewarding efficiency. The former objection would be harder to address.

I have no problem with the right Reverend J. Wright's politics in the pulpit.
There's politics and there's politics. As long as they don't use the church as a campaign resource I don't care what they do.
And I say this again. The difference between Wright and all the other preachers is that the other preachers attempt to use their status to influence public policy. Jeremiah Wright does not, so I don't give a shit what he says.
Realistically speaking, though, some people choose to live close to the office, and others do not
And some people choose to live close to the office, and then get laid off or downsized or whatever they're calling it these days, and are forced to take whatever work is available, regardless of where it is, and end up driving 20-30 miles to work instead of 2 or 3.

Been saying all along that no one in the Bush Admin feels bad about our troops in Iraq.
Who in that group really gives a shit about the hired help?
The Art of the Possible is a new liberal-libertarian group blog. Its writing team includes, among others, Angelica Oung of BattlePanda, Mona of Unqualified Offerings, and Kevin Carson of Mutualist Blog. Its theme:
"The Bush administration has been extreme enough in its authoritarianism, flagrant law breaking, and flouting of basic human rights norms to cause fractures in the old GOP coalition. There is now the possibility of new political alliances forming. Speaking broadly, it may be that many of the factions in the Democratic Party, and some of the factions that call themselves “libertarian,” collectively represent a kind of loose anti-authoritarian coalition, or rather, the possibility of one. This site aims to facilitate conversation among those factions."
Ahhh... is that my old haunt in the background, Spreckels Lake in Golden Gate Park?
Good times.

If either Clinton or Obama had come up with that ad, they'd have my vote. Don't know what it means. Don't care. As it is I'll stick with an Atrioian ambivalence.
Very simply, Gravel rocks.
Or was he saying he's a tosser?
I thought it was some kind of youtub joke video until I saw the Gravel 2008 then. I got through 9 or 10 seconds of the old man staring we the viewers down before I started cracking up. The chunking of the rock in the lake just sealed the deal.
OK - i know this is a dead thread & I'm late to the party and all, but come one - this is soooo "Shaking Hands Man" from Banzai!
