That appears to be a very accurate translation, thank you for the service.

It’s beautiful in Connecticut this time of year…

Anybody see Mike Stark on Olbermann?

We LUUUVVVVV Mike Stark. He’s a good friend, an FDL contributor and a hero.

So, I guess we can now expect Clusterfuck to issue an apology to the troops, all Americans, and every person on the planet, for making the world a more dangerous place, and for wasting so many lives.

We’re waiting.

Olbermann was on fire tonight!

My new hero. Watch him on MSNBC.

1,321 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND …

Citizen Janie:

As far as the corporatist shills in the Democratic Party who bailed out on John Kerry today: “Never forget!! We will NEVER forget!!”

It is time to start organizin’ for state based, web organized pressure on Democratic elected officials to get the backs of Pelosi in the House and Fiengold-Kennedy-Durbin in the Senate…the Bluemutts and Mrs. Clinton must be stopped before they even get started in January.

KEEP THE FAITH THERE ARE PLENTY OF THE BASTARDS TA KEEP US BUSY!!

he certainly deserves it and good on the Young Turks– speaking truth to power.

Great to see Hilary Clinton piling on Kerry, eh? Has she decided to campaign for Lieberman anytime soon?

When the heros of this era are written up, Mike Stark will be among them.

And those who want to advance themselves by Sista Soldjah-ing others?

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Who could ask for anything more after that KO Special Comment? Just the perfect lead-in to Jon Stewart, don’t you think???

Jane@4,

Looking forward to seeing Mike Stark tonight, soon as I’m home from work. Will try and get the clip up on YouTube soon as I can.

Translation: We polled the tits off this pig …

I read “pulled” for “polled”. ouch

Great fucking answer Ned! Yeah baby!

Keith and Stark were great too.

And Jane nailed it: “Oh, you want to talk about Iraq do you? Err, umm, Kerry’s apology is sufficient. Next topic…PLEASE!”

I will refer you to my reply to Kevon @ 21… And I will (gratuitously) add EWWWWWWWWWW….

Jane, I think your translation is spot on. When I heard CNN tell us that the WH “accepted” the apology, it became clear that they didn’t want this to go on. My guess is they thought there were too many reporters/pundits who were starting to ask, “well shouldn’t the President apologize for . . . ?”

The proof will be in how many of the rightwing pundits and Fox news reporters get the message and talk about something else tomorrow. My litmus will be Paula Zahn. Wolf seemed ready to let it go and talk about the real war in Iraq, but Paula tonight kept asking her panelists leading questions about Kerry. Will she get the memo?

Mike Stark was terrific. Olbermann’s special comment? Words can’t do justice. Olbermann is really letting all the bums have it. He outright, repeatedly calls Bush Stupid and a Liar. That in itself, is worth turning TV on. He also bashed McCain, Pickles, the Harold Ford ad with the playboy bunny, the attack on Mike Stark, and let’s see?

If you licked your finger and touched Keith Olbermann on the wrist, steam would rise.

We’re a non TV household (Okay my son watches Sponge Bob and Jimmy Nuetron); but for Olbermann – my son my husband the dog the cats and myself all line up rapt. This man is out of sight.

“As far as the corporatist shills in the Democratic Party who bailed out on John Kerry today: “Never forget!! We will NEVER forget!!””

I agree. I have expressed my reservations about Kerry and don’t know if I could ever vote for him in a presidential primary after his mistakes in 2004. But as our most recent presidential nominee he is, by tradition, the symbolic head of our party, and Democrats should STFU if they don’t agree with every word he says (besides, he was making a good point). We don’t need to repeat the Republicans’ talking points for them; they can hande that on their own.

Senator Clinton, “inappropriate” is kicking a fellow Democrat when he stumbles, and giving an assist to the Republicans. Stop it.

I can’t wait to see if the Charlottesville police ever give Mike the information he needs to “obtain his own arrest warrants” from the magistrate. If Felix had outstanding arrest warrants in C’ville for “fishing licenses and parking tickets”, it should be purty inneresting to see what happens after they finally “identify” his attackers and assaulters since it was caught on mainstream news and some were former “GOP officials”.

dayum, when’s it gonna happen???

Nobody I know ever had arrest warrants in C’ville when I went to UVA unless they did something BAD.

Like what the goons and Allen did to Mike. Coach Allen’s son would have maybe been given special privileges then. Tell me, please, that he is still not getting them.

They’ll wait till after the election then they’ll drop the charges due to “lack of evidence”. Tweety and Pumpkinhead will agree that no prosecutor would go to trial with what they had.

This Kerry thing is working for us. (Thanks for taking a bullet for us, John!) By we, of course, I mean the netroots and some of these AMAZING Dems running like gangbusters for the House and Senate.

Speaking of polling,

NYT: Iraq War Frames ‘06 Vote in Last Poll before elections

By ADAM NAGOURNEY and MEGAN THEE
Published: November 1, 2006

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 — A substantial majority of Americans expect Democrats to reduce or end American military involvement in Iraq if they win control of Congress next Tuesday, and say Republicans would maintain or increase troop levels to try to win the war if they hold on to power on Capitol Hill, according to the final New York Times/CBS News poll before the midterm election.

The poll found that just 29 percent of Americans approve of the way President Bush is managing the war in Iraq, matching the lowest mark of his presidency. Nearly 70 percent of Americans said Mr. Bush did not have a plan to end the war, and an overwhelming 80 percent said Mr. Bush’s latest effort to rally public support for the conflict amounted to a change in language but not policy.

Maybe the next poll should ask whether we should have an apology or an impeachment? The WaPo can do that one.

YESSS…. Timmeh is going to do the debate… MSNBC… NOW…

Be there or be square…

I think my last post may have been eaten. Anyway, as I was saying. I go to Savannah every year or so, since Miss Nellie, my 95 year old Grandmother has lived there most of her life. She lives near the Bonaventure Cemetary. This will be the first time I get to (have to?) stay in a hotel- One of the ones down on River STreet- can’t remember the name. Should be fun. oh, speaking of “Sugar Tits” ….the debate has started. haha

You’re right about Bonaventure. And this is a good time of the year to be here… Cool enough to be comfy, but only a sweater needed.

Snow’s backdown is, as you point out, a sign that the meme backfired. People are getting wise to the Rethug method. That method works only in a context where people assume that where there’s smoke there’s fire. It worked for them longer than they had a right to expect, but now, people think, where there’s smoke, it’s just smoke and mirrors. When that happens you’re toast. All they have left now is bombing Iran. (Did I just make a prediction?)

Watching this is sooooo sad. To think that these peeps have power over us.

I cannot wait for the rebirth of a new and just America.

A Quote from olbermann that sums up what I think about most of hte blogosphere

” Senator John Kerry called him (Bush) out, two years too late. He had been too cordial, just as Vice-President Al Gore had been too cordial in 2000, just as millions of us have been too cordial ever since. “

God damn fucking right and this is the sermon I’ve been preaching ever since I found FDL.

Someone on another thread was whining about sinking to their level…andI say this again, for nothing except emphasis –

We can raise the level of discourse, when they do. Like it or not, it’s a pro-wrestling political scene and if we try to be genteel about it, the only thing that’ll happen is we’ll get our asses handed to us again. I have no fucking intention of ever getting my ass handed to me again.

Great vengeance and furious anger IS the appropriate emotion in this election season. Anything less makes you weak and worthless to the cause.

At times I get down about the political scene. I believe we owe much to Ned Lamont for his willingness to step forward to challenge the powers on our side that acquiese to the corrupt and immoral leadership of this wonderful country. I am so amazed that it seems that CT voters don’t get the difference between the hope expressed by Ned vs the cynicism of Joe. And I am further disheartened by the calculation of Democratic “leaders”.

I am inspired by those in the netroots and elsewhere that recognize the need to truly seek out caring candidates and to clean house. I do believe that Ned can win but even if he doesn’t he has changed the political landscape. He has put his time energy and fortune on the line for the good of the community and country. How can people not see that? I am not anywhere near CT but he is my hero. My heart is with you all as you work being the change we need.

It’s too bad Kerry misspoke but if it had not been him the Republicans would just have found someone else to pile on to. They are in full desperation mode.

I still prefer Kerry’s talking tough on Bush and Iraq to Hillary’s gratuitous a la Lieberman backstabbing of him.

There was also a grain of truth in his statement. Not that our troops are stupid although the Army has been lowering its standards recently but that those who benefit from the Republican economy like Jenna and not-Jenna are able to keep themselves well clear of the conflict.

Here’s A Nice Halloween Letter to the Editor!

I know Halloween was yesterday, but since we’re talking about Iraq…

Lieberman’s Mask

Joe Lieberman is trying out his costume on the campaign trail as Halloween approaches. After dutifully repeating Bush’s “Stay the Course” talking points earlier this year, he’s desperately trying to trick voters into thinking he’s against the Iraq war so he can treat himself to our votes. We must not forget that Lieberman was a chief architect of the disastrous war, a sponsor of the Iraq war resolution, and a tireless champion of the president’s failed policy.

Lieberman may have co-opted Lamont’s Iraq position for Halloween, but what will he do after the election? Let’s look beyond the mask on November 7th and hold Lieberman accountable.

ZING!

She’s getting more and more obnoxious by the day:

“First lady: World listening to Iraq talk

HILLIARD, Ohio –First lady Laura Bush cautioned Wednesday that Americans discussing the war in Iraq — especially politicians — should be careful what they say because other countries are paying attention….

“Responsible candidates understand that the men and women of our military are risking their lives for us, and that we must conduct our debate here at home in a way that does not jeopardize our troops in harm’s way,” she said, calling for “conversations conducted with civility and respect.”"

My sinuses are not as young as they once were, and they can’t stand tea being forced through them. DO NOT post links like this without a MAJOR spew alert…. (Oh, God help me, how I roared… I used to have a cat that did that…)

Wow! You used to have a cat that did that? I was fascinated… how in the heck did that cat figure out how to flush the toilet? IIRC someone posted here about a door-bell ringing cat, but this one…. ;) 707

Wow! I couldn’t get on for a long time. Must be busy tonite.

md 74 agreed. I just haven’t watched her enuf lately to realize, but I should have figured.

Must be some virus they all catch when they come over to CNN.

Almost funny to watch Wolf on camera w/ her. Hooo boy did he resent having her invade his turf, heh. Odd couple…

Wolf was not that tough on her. I still think he shat his Lederhosen.

We have to get the lazy, crazy incumbents out & forever on notice! Then the money has got to go and clean elections have to be the standard and then we may just be able to recover our Republic.

Just think of it, a true democracy here where we take care of our own and are truly benevolent to others with only justice and compassion in mind– think of all that it will mean for the world.

g’nite.

gonna just think pure thoughts tonight. Sorry if it is lame.

kirk!!! haven’t seen you in a while, but my hours have been iffy. How are the kitties? And, about that cat brush…

Hi VG -

How are you! I’ve been off the last few days….

We had the Spiral Dance here on Saturday for Samhain and I was off playing…

Then the cats and I had houseguests: two adults, two teenage women, and three dogs.

A delightful stay.

Who knew that 20th century biomedicine had the foresight to eliminate competition from midwives….

all through supporting the European witch trials of the previous centuries?

Not Galileo, I’d imagine…

Any way, the kitties are well (they’ve all come out) and they love the brush. Love, love, love it. Nudge off the table onto the floor and call to me love it!

Thanks VG, if the kitties loved the equine brush any more they’d need saddles…..

Thanks also for the linky….my home is dial-up, but I’ve saved the link for the toobz cafe

(and the welcome mat at chez Murphy may be under revison. I can endure incivility and historical ignorance, but the dogs’ present of fleas and ticks is gross.)

Speaking of gross:

Six more days to overthrow the GOP Reich!

Woo-hoo.

Oh, Kirk- p.s. LindaH (IRRC) posted this wonderful link to a cat video the other day, and I am going to use it to begin my lecture tomorrow. Trust me, you will enjoy it. It’s the best cat video I’ve seen. xxoo

My mom’s Uncle Mac – a country doc who made the rounds in rural Ohio – travelled with his kitty. At home, the kitty used and flushed the toilet…

kirk- are you telling me that you actually GOT the equine cat brush????!!!! For real?

Balrog, for your barbecue you don’t add trolls? WELL…. Don’t invite ME for dinner… Trolls have a certain piquant je ne sais quois without which barbecue just ain’t worth chewing on… (Yeah, I know trolls are tough, but tasty….)

Cozumel,

I think once the Republicans had latched on to the Kerry gaffe they weren’t going to let go of it for a day or two, not until they had beaten their breasts and sounded all sanctimonious over it. And again if it hadn’t been him they would have found someone else. BTW Kerry’s initial response was pretty good. His eventual apology was just part of this Republican inspired and Hillary abetted kabuki.

Seriously, why is MSNBC airing this Nelson/Harrissss debate? Russert says it is a seat the Republicans “must” win in order to retain a majority in the Senate. Isn’t it a foregone conclusion that they are going to lose it?

Over at Crooks and Liars, they’ve been reporting trouble with the voting machines in Florida. Guess who’s favor?

Let’s hope he’s right!

Sadly, he’s probably just trying to inject some excitement. Geez, can’t they get enough ratings from the people who will tune in to watch the train wreck, without trying to pretend that Harris has a chance?

VG, my kitty was just fascinated by water that moved… She flushed the toilet (I guess she learned by watching), she turned the faucet on… One of her treats was to have the water in the bathroom sink turned on to a trickle so she could play with it and bite it. She was a VERY special kitty!

Please tell me how everbody! My little one has been so sick from diabetes and has gone thru so much litter(28 lbs a week) and accidents.

Toss a troll on the grill, and they just get tougher and tougher. You’ve got to smoke them, long and slow, until the meat just drops off the bones.

One of the house cats I stayed with in CT (of equine cat brush fame) would howl to me or others to turn on the kitchen tap, and leap up to drink. But, apparently not as smart as yours. She sounds like a VERY special kitty indeed.

oh, perhaps we can continue this on the next thread… TRex has Late Nite up!!!

Angie, I just had my second kitty diagnosed with diabetes. She is starting to do great with insulin shots (which she doesn’t even seem to feel) and the vet’s suggestion of high-protein cat food. Either Fancy Feast or Science Diet kitten food were mentioned by my vet. My guess is what I’ll spend in medicine and special food I’ll save in litter, and have a happier, healthier kitty. If you want, e-mail me at mgpaquin at aol dot com and we can compare notes. My kitty never USED the toilet, just flushed it…!

CTRex is upstairs.

One of mine stands in the bathtub and howls until I turn on the tap.

angie, Marion- best cat litter ever.

If you want to give her a REAL thrill, toss a Q-Tip into the tub… Mine go NUTS chasing it… It slides up one side of the tub, down the other, and they spin like tops chasing it… Fun for all involved.

I just posted my first YouTube on my blog. Forrest Gumped my way right through it.

Thanks for the heads up Jane on the “honorable republican”.

And now we return you to Dubyas Gestalt theory of foreign policy.

My little one was diagnosed in April and I have been giving him shots twice a day and testing his blood sugar too, but he got so sick 3 weeks ago and we had to leave him at the vet clinic. I took him home after no answers except “there may be nothing more to do, he may have a tumor” even though all the ultrasounds and xrays and bloodwork were negative. Now he’s happy, jumping into my lap, snuggling and gaining weight… finally. His glucose is ca. 200 at peak, too. Thank you for giving me hope!

We switched out his dry food to protein rich food upon diagnosis, too. He was so finicky when we switched!

Hugh,

I hear you, but, if Kerry would have knocked this out on day one, there wouldn’t have been Hillary on day two. It was festering and dominating the news cycle.

Thank you VG @ 233. :)

My previous kitty (now deceased from eating too many balloons left over from my grandson’s birthday party) would ONLY drink water from the bathroom sink. She would come and give me the ‘look’ and I would go and turn the bathroom faucet on. Later I would come back and turn it off. She would do her ‘business’ in the tub, which meant I had to do the sterialize bit, but otherwise she was a great kitty.

The kitty I have now does better but hates all adults (other than me) and prefers the company of children.

More great stuff on Lamont blog – again h/t “lochness monster”..

Here’s A Thought:

Let’s take a look at two pieces of the Lieberman/Bush puzzle and see if they might fit together.

First, there is the curious Stay The Course™ Strategy, wherein Bush – even today – vows we will NEVER leave Iraq. Lieberman only abandoned his Stay The Course™ position for the election – we all expect it to resume if (God forbid) he’s re-elected.

Second, consider the 14 permanent bases being built in Iraq. Costing BILLIONS of tax payer dollars, some are the size of small American cities. Very odd.

So let’s see.. permanent bases and Stay The Course™ no matter what the cost…

Could it be that the financial investment in the new bases is so unspeakably huge that abandoning them seems “out of the question” to the warmongers?

Pretty possible.

What are these bases for? Well, they aren’t for pizza parties. What else could they be for? The only thing facilities this vast in Iraq could really be used for is providing staging for a much larger Middle East war.

Jane,
This is my third post to you on this, because it’s that important: Bill “triangulate the Democratic party” Clinton has made robo-calls (I got one) in CT telling people to vote, but not telling them WHO to vote FOR. Why is he not supporting Ned Lamont, the winner of the Democratic primary? Could it be in some way connected to his wife’s “presidential” bid, which is growing less and less likely even as I write? Can someone please get through to Bill and tell him that he needs to come through for Ned Lamont?

My LTE published (see below) yesterday in the Danbury News Times, one of the papers in the 5th district. They endorsed Chris Murphy (Dem) against Nancy Johnson (Bush cheerleader), which is great news. And here’s what I wrote:

Send Ned Lamont to the U.S. Senate

Nov 01 2006

My husband and I were in attendance for the first Connecticut Senate debate in Stamford on Oct. 19.
Each candidate was allowed time for an opening statement. Joe Lieberman opened with a homage to his hometown city of Stamford, as well as his parents, teachers and rabbi. He thanked them for teaching him right from wrong.

Apparently, somewhere along the way, Mr. Lieberman forgot what right from wrong truly means. He forgot his so-called principles when he signed off on Senate Bill S. 3930, the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (which I prefer to call the Detainee Torture Bill).

This bill would authorize the president to establish military commissions for the trial of alien unlawful enemy combatants. The bill would authorize the secretary of defense to convene military commissions and, in concert with the attorney general, establish the rules and procedures governing military commissions.

S. 3930 also revises the War Crimes Act and would amend the habeas corpus provisions of the United States Code.

Habeas corpus, Joe? The basic right for each citizen to know why he is being held in jail?

It’s no longer enough for Mr. Lieberman to plead for “bipartisanship” any more, not when he so willingly caves to the bad leadership of the president and his party, when he is so willing to upend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Elect the true Democrat to the U.S. Senate on Nov. 7. Send Ned Lamont to Washington!

Katherine Harris is hot in a shriveled up slutty kind of way.

Mike Stark was terrific. Olbermann’s special comment? Words can’t do justice. Olbermann is really letting all the bums have it. He outright, repeatedly calls Bush Stupid and a Liar. That in itself, is worth turning TV on. He also bashed McCain, Pickles, the Harold Ford ad with the playboy bunny, the attack on Mike Stark, and let’s see?

If you licked your finger and touched Keith Olbermann on the wrist, steam would rise.

We’re a non TV household (Okay my son watches Sponge Bob and Jimmy Nuetron); but for Olbermann – my son my husband the dog the cats and myself all line up rapt. This man is out of sight.
