I guess you've got to love a home-grown fatwah.
Chris Kelly alerts us to the fact that Wrong-Way Malkin has a brand new club for all her BFF's.
Most Americans just rolled over and surrendered when Arab terrorists took over the government and the media,
Gosh, you know that's right. I stopped living my life altogether. In fact, I'm not even here right now. I just now realized that since 9/11 I keep praying to Mecca five times a day and I've changed my name to Ahmed al Akhbar. Funny how those things will sneak up on you. Do you like my kaffiyeh?
but not Michelle Malkin.
Yeah, I really admired the way she and her husband both dropped everything and joined the military on September 12th, 2001. They've been doing a heck of a job over in Tal Afar. Great Americans, both of them.
She's fighting back. By starting a club.
Oh, my god, that'll, so, like, totally work! Why didn't somebody already think of that?
All you have to do to join is report everyone you see who seems to be a foreigner. Or who seems to tolerate foreigners. Or who may be thinking foreigner-tolerating thoughts.
It's like the Junior Spies in 1984, only totally fun.
It's called The John Doe Movement and it's got an oath and everything. And if you join not only will you fight Islamofascism, but you can also come to Michelle's house after school, have a healthy snack, and play with her Breyer Horses. Well, not play with them. But, you know, look at them.
You also get a button. Wanna sign up?
Do we get cookies and punch?
Chris, tell us about that oath, would you?
Here's the pledge:
"Dear Muslim Terrorist Plotter/Planner/Funder/Enabler/Apologist,
You do not know me. But I am on the lookout for you. You are my enemy.
And I am yours.I am John Doe.
I am traveling on your plane. I am riding on your train. I am at your bus stop. I am on your street. I am in your subway car. I am on your lift…"
(Now, I know what you're thinking: That sounds like a lot of travel. And who says "lift?" Are you Madonna? But don't get hung up on that. Let her talk.)
" … I am your neighbor. I am your customer. I am your classmate. I am your boss."
(I am Polly Pocket.)
"…I am John Doe.
(snip)
"… I will act when homeland security officials ask me to "report suspicious activity."I will embrace my local police department's admonition: "If you see something, say something."
I am John Doe…"
(And I tend to repeat myself.)
Stop! Stop! You're kidding me, right? Is this for fucking real?
Funny, it's reminding me of something, I can't think of what.
Oh, no, wait! I've got it.
The pledge of the youth:
Speaker (one of the youth celebrating the event):
- We affirm:
- The German people has been created by the will of God.
- All those who fight for the life of our people, and those who died,
- Carried out the will of God.
- Their deeds are to us holy obligation
All the boys and girls participating:
This we believe.
Speaker:
- We affirm that God gave us all our strength,
- In order to maintain the life of our people
- And defend it. It is therefore our holiest
- Duty to fight to our last breath
- Anything that threatens or endangers the life
- Of our people. God will decide
- Whether we live or die.
Everyone present: This we pledge.
Speaker:
- We want to be free from all selfishness.
- We want to be fighters for this Reich
- Named Germany, our home.
- We will never forget that we are German.
Everyone present: That is what we want.
Just for shits and giggles, I want you to go read Malkin's John Doe pledge, but everywhere that it says, "Muslim", replace that with "Jew". Everywhere it says, "Imam", make it say "Rabbi", and everywhere that it says, "John Doe", make it say, "Muhammed al Ahmed". Now, pretend this document was found in a Shi'ite stronghold in Sadr City.
Read it again and ask yourself that if this was, in fact, found in the home of a suicide bomber and published on the Drudge Report or some other Right Wing outlet, how fast would Malkin have it up on her blog as evidence that all people of the Islamic faith are genocidal maniacs? Could her extremism be any further out on her sleeve with this statement?
It never ceases to amaze me how much people like Malkin have in common with the very jihadi they claim are coming any day now to rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their clothing. And yet, they are completely oblivious to the resemblance. God bless their pointy little heads, but they must all be just as dense as bricks.
In their heads, it's all rage and fear and fear and rage all the time and that repeating loop must cancel out all other thought. Surely at some point they have to stop and think, "Maybe this much hate isn't good for me or anybody else. Maybe my unreasoning, hysterical xenophobia says more about me than it does about them."
I know, I'm not holding my breath, either.

TREX!!
TRex !!
Whew!
I was just going to put up a Lily Allen YouTube tonight. Then around 10:30, I decided that wasn’t going to be good enough.
Good topic — If you are different you better fear us!
Evening, TRex. I think she is suffering a bad case of projection.
John Doe my ass, bitch, and I ain’t doing no fancy smancy salute while saying it either.
Okay, TRex, I have a question for you and my fellow firepups after I have a chance to read your post.
Ermmmm…last I checked, La Malkin wasn’t exactly a WASP…
TRex!!
These people are so hatefilled. David Niewert has Malkin’s number.
And then there’s the weird part. I guess there are no totally paranoid people who aren’t weird, come to think of it.
Malkin is Bushiofacist just Kyle “Heil” Sampson.
Heil Bush!
Gawd, was Hatch a Bushie yesterday or what?
Is there an auxiliary component for Jane Does? Or can only men join MM’s little club? And can members report teh gays to the authorities as well? — because that just feels right.
I’m germann.
sweet

I think she’s secretly a Tamil Tiger.
Can she think of any thing new? Woodrow Wilson already did the national spy on your neighbor networks.

“… I will act when homeland security officials ask me to “report suspicious activity.”
That’s amazing.
she’s a little nitwit, yes?
OldCoastie @ 18
here is her handle, hear her spout
OldCoastie @ 18
If by “little nitwit,” you mean “raving bloody nutter,” then yes, she is.
That’s gotta be head-spinning for her minions.
All right, I am so reporting that Malkin woman. She looks foreign to me. Doesn’t she look foreign to you?

Yep. And I hear she likes meaty sandwiches.
EvilDrPuma @ 20
lol I agree. She is beyond nuts.
beth meacham @ 22
Let’s report her to the fashion police
motherlowman @ 26
That’s what a real woman needs, eh?
I’m all for hyperbole, but I think calling George W Bush an Arab terrorist who took over the government is a bit much. He looks pretty white to me.
TRex… when she photo-shops her face onto Cindy Crawfords body and pretends it’s really her, THEN you got a story!
She is a little authoratarian type alright. She will want a new Committee on Un-American Activities started. Who could head that? Orin Hatch would be perfect for that!

She is young enough to enlist. She might as well go fight them overthere rather than sit on her butt here.
I think this little club idea ends any debate as to whether Malkin was dropped on her head as a child. The question that remains is, how many times?
beth @ 22
Foreign and not entirely connected to reality at the same time. Would reporting her to NIMH be appropriate?

Has it actually stopped?
I wonder if she was having wine with Ann and watching american idol when she dreamed this one up…
Oddly enough, I was just doing typical-guy channel surfing with the remote. Up comes Fox News, O’Reilly, AND….Michelle. I hadn’t thought about her much lately. Mr. O was up to his usual lunacy, it made me laugh. He identified DKos as a “well-known hate site”…I kid you not. A Hate Site????? Good grief. As to Michelle…..
…..she still has CRAZY EYES. Wow. Very disturbing to me. She has the same eyes as that Runaway Bride from awhile back. Michelle just is not mentally healthy….it’s all in the eyes.

Been callin my cell beggin me to join some stupid spy thingie group or somethin
Loonie I tell ya, she is plumb loco
TRex @ 46
Well, I should clarify that I meant as a child in terms of chronological age. If we start trying to factor mental and emotional development into this, we could be here all damned night.

She better hope the people in her homeowners association don’t read her blog since she is probably one of the few minorities in her enclave. ..
Um, is there a membership card for the club? Cuz, pretty much every club has a card. No card, no club. Just askin’.
Am I nutz, or does Julia have an excellent lawsuit against the smarmy Rachel Marsden?!?!
If MM wants to see the type of treatment she is proposinng firsthand she ought to visit a bordertown next to an Indian Reservation. She will get just the treatment she is pushing for others. She might not like it.
TRex, Trac, T-ran?
OldCoastie @ 55
Cindy Loo Hoo? She’s great!
bg @ 60
And discounts? No use having a card unless you can use it for discounts.
wingnuttia is DEFINATLY imploding…
Malkin is a droid. The “I am John Doe” thing is the defaut, safe-boot mode.
The truly disturbing thing is that people actually take this lunatic seriously. What does that say about them?
bg @ 60
Do you have a flag? hmm? No flag, well…
yea, check TBogg for Izzard.
bg @ 63
Kinda like Tic-Tac-Toe….
Discounting intelligence, I think that fits? Comes with the card.
P J Evans @ 41
Psychosis and sociopathy transcend nationality…
should NIMH accept her for care, I only hope her discharge plan does not involve my clinic.
Actually, if she’s ever admitted as an inpatient, she may never leave.
Anyone tasked with “Malkin” and “discharge” in a single treatment plan would immediately resign from nausea.
TRan would be mAnn Coulter….
I think Michelle is feeling the heat from up-and-comers like nuttier-than-squirrel-crap Miss Marsden.She’s got to double-down on the crazy just to keep her place!
Terry, when you call her, do you say, “LOOOOO-HOOOOO!”
I like it!
Course if ya mean the elephant symbol terrorists types then maybe she does have some linky thing goin
I`ll do what I can to check it out right after this donut is finished.

Oh, and good evening, everyone. Happy Friday.
I know this actually appeared online some time ago, but I just got around to posting today. I hadn’t even heard of Tim Hardaway before the flurry of headlines about some anti-gay remarks he had made. But I thought this response by George Takei was beautiful, and I grabbed some screen captures because I wanted to be able to share it with people who couldn’t watch videos online for whatever reason. And yeah, it actually took me over a month to actually get around to posting it. But if you haven’t seen this before, enjoy…
ps. I don’t work for TBogg. I like Eddie.
Trac, transexual jokes and/or derogatory comments are not acceptable here at the Lake. Neither are racist comments nor personal attacks. AC has many other faults to play with.
She needs an assistant for her operation. Kyle Sampson is available when he isn’t spending 7 hours in front of PAT LEAHY.
Kykle doesn’t keep records and never remembers bad things.
Old Costie,
We’ll think this through. I need advice.
What a thoroughly despicable kettle she is. Thank you TRex for bringing this to my attention, but
it. literally. makes. me. sick.
Lil’ Imelda wannabe.
Born right here and from immigrants– like so many of us. Same history, different outcome.
She cherishes colonialism and invasion, is a champion of internment camps, a warmonger, a hatemonger and a fearmonger.

Thank you Suzanne!
TRex… your article on Marsden was great… just giving you another angle with the whole body swapping thing. I really think she’s hoping no one ever finds that, ’cause if it hits the papers it’ll follow her around forever…
Enough with the transsexual jokes, please.
Renee in Ohio @ 78
You missed TRex’s late night about just that…and George so rocks for doing it…
Renee in Ohio @ 78
George Takei is just wicked funny. Ever since he came out, he takes the bigotry and runs with it. I didn’t know how sharp he was until recently, but I’m a fan.
Didn’t mean to offend! Ouch!
Earlier today I found an interview Takei did on NPR. I didn’t know he’d been in the internment camps (he said he was in two of them).
AZ Matt says:
Gawd, was Hatch a Bushie yesterday or what?
*****
Yeah, what was that all about?
I was wondering what the Rover has on him or, perhaps, what he does not want the world to know about how the roots are connected. Kyle Sampson was his protege (as well as Spector’s) before he transferred over to Rove, no?
I’m John Doe, and I know of a dark skinned female that wants to terrorize Americans through internment.

Also, Hatch’s other protege beat out Sampson for USAtty of Utah. That other protege is the one Hatch shunted over to Specter as JComm Counsel, where he slipped in the interim replacement provision. Wheels within wheels….

OT, but this really pisses me off. Actually, it pisses me off two different ways.
UN Pact on Disabled Rights Signed
The two things that piss me off are:
1. The United States is not signing because we “already have” comprehensive disability rights. I’ll make sure I mention that to the growing numbers of disabled veterans I’m seeing panhandling on the streets around here.
2. The AP story tries to cover this fact up by avoiding all mention of the United States. Cowards.

My brother’s dogs did that to me once when I was watching them for him. Usually they would meet me at the door all wagging and smiling. I knew something was up when I came in and they were both laying there in a stupor on the couch. They were all, like, “Oh, hey. That’s okay, we ate.”

Healthy Forests my ass – just like Clean Skies and No Child Left Behind. Just identifies the target getting screwed by this administration.
A ‘Blockwart’ (Blockleiter) was a neighborhood spy during Nazi time, and it was just a matter of time before someone embraced this system again.
Wiki:
“It was also the duty of the Blockleiter to spy on the population and report any anti-Nazi activities to the local office. This was helped by keeping files on each household
Today, Blockwart is a colloquial German insult word for an informer.”

Stories about animals and their food-related mischief…
When Demetrius and I got married (20 years ago this summer) we went away for the night–couldn’t go far as we didn’t have a vehicle, and really didn’t have money to spend on a honeymoon trip anyway. So, we were only gone *one night*, but when we came back to the apartment, our cat Socrates had gnawed a hole in a box of Bisquick. I guess he was saying, “You guys! I thought you were gone *forever*. I’m sorry, I just freaked out! I could have died! Fortunately, I found this here box, and was able to release the treasures it held inside…”

“Listen sucker, you ever been broke? All right. Listen, you’re walking along, not a nickel in your jeans, you’re as free as the wind, nobody bothers you, hundreds of people pass you by in every line of business–shoes, hats, automobiles, furniture, everything. And they’re all nice lovable people, and they let you alone. Isn’t that right? And then you get ahold of some dough and what happens? All those sweet lovable people become heelots–a bunch of heels. They begin creeping up on you, trying to sell you something, they get long claws. And they get a stranglehold on you. First thing you know you OWN things–a car, for instance. Now your life is mussed up with a lot more stuff. You’ve got license fees and number plates and gas and oil and taxes and insurance and identification cards and letters and bills and flat tires and dents and traffic tickets and courtrooms and lawyers and fines. And what happens? You’re not the free and happy guy you used to be. You gotta have money to pay for all those things. So you go after what the other guy has got. And there you are: you’re a heelot yourself.”

Suzanne @

Good Idea!
Renee in Ohio @ 147
I’d agree! what ya gonna do? kill it?
I wonder if Gary Cooper’s descendants can lodge a complaint against Malkin’s use of “John Doe Club” –
after all, the notion of the John Doe Clubs in the Gary Cooper film, Meet John Doe, were the direct opposite — the purpose was to give a helping hand to those who had previously seemed to be “strangers” within the community. It was a community-building exercise in compassion and pulling together for the good of all. Being a helping hand for others who had previously been ignored or shunned — for there but for the grace of God go I.
So Malkin dares to use “John Doe Club” for purposes of suspicion and bigotry? Maybe descendents of the director would be interested in nipping this sort of thing in the bud, too.
The mods tell me several comments got caught in the filters (head scratching going on) and have been freed. Everyone might want to do a page refresh.

I’m just not going to help her hits total so I’m not going there.
I read somewhere she was the beneficiary of Ann Coulter’s newspaper columns after the faggot comment dropped her
Hi, newspaperbrat!
I’m not everyone, but I’m here for the moment. How are you? And how are you, Suzanne?
One other food story having to do with Socrates. He refused to eat at all for the first week we had him. Did nothing but lie in his litter box–figured it was some sort of metaphor for what he thought of his life at that time. Didn’t we know that he’d wanted us to move in with *him* rather than cart him off to some strange place?
The first bite of food he finally ate was a little piece of white meat chicken from the middle of a Wendy’s chicken sandwich. Once he ate that little morsel of food, he *had* to stay with us forever. Just ask Pandora–them’s the rules!
Mrs. K8, do you think the term “John Doe Club” might have been copywritten or otherwise legally protected?
I think everyone was just refreshing, npb.
I just want to say that I love Waxman. He has done such a wonderful job of calling in the people he needs to quesion!
Things now are all wierd to the max.

How are things? Haven’t had a chance to really catch up with your goings-on since your accident. Hope you don’t mind me asking. Is everything, (car, pocketbook, psyche) in better shape?
Suzanne –
I wonder about that, really.
After all, it was Frank Capra film, fer cryin’ out loud. He’s deceased, of course (early 90’s I think), but you’d think his kids would be repulsed by this.
I hate the way they co-opt all that’s good and true about our beloved country and turn it into its absolute opposite.
What are they going to do with the database that they collect with that club anyway? Give it to Carl Rove?
Suzanne @ 129
I was running into this very frustration night before last writing about Preznint Pissypants and his threats. My mind kept reacher for newer, viler words, but you know, you start running out of fresh ways to say “dickhead”.
Mrs K8 – I think it’s an excellent angle. Any idea how we can contact the Cooper/ Capra money people? Maybe Turner owns it..
Suzanne @ 158
Phew! Thanks Suzanne!
Mrs. K8 @
152
I don’t know about Gary Cooper’s family but Frank Capra’s is super protective of his legacy.
That could well be the most pathetic thing I have ever seen.
That coupled with her on Bill-O talking about how liberal bloggers are vicious haters – cuz like you know 1:1000 posts if from a nut that nobody who reads the blog gives a damn what their hate speech is.
Yeah, lets not have freedom of speech because a nasty post might be up on a server for an hour before it is moderated, or might be missed since another topic has been opened and there have been another 1000 posts.
I hope that by the end of the summer the people with shit in their eyes will finally have found out with 100% certainty that everything Bush and his cronies and apologists say other people are doing is exactly what they are doing. I mean how many twists can a pretzel have – they actual cast their stones on what they are doing in the same argument.
The picture for this post is perfect and could well be used for every post when one of these haters opens their mouth.
As for the blog haters…many of us have read the blogs of the right and I have to say its a landslide as to the percent of morons and haters…they may well have invented hate. Examples such as
“Nuke” – skinned people back to the stone age. Nuke . Bush is bringing peace and democracy to …etc etc etc.
The idiots still think there is money in their brand of treason. Yeah, thats are big crime – the liberals call these nuts traitors as they do to us. Just like they say – let history decide. Those losers clinging to power are so stupid they did not even realize what the internet means to what has been recorded. They had hoped that they could win one more Congress – and I swear woe to us if they had. Now we can see a few of these things.

Hi everyone
From Chris Kelly at HuffPo:
Still have many bigots wrapped in red, white , and blue don’t we?
I just checked at IMDB — the story for Meet John Doe was written by Richard Connell and Robert Presnell Sr. Both terms “John Doe Club” and “John Doe Movement” were used throughout the film.
The two of them were nominated for an Oscar for Best Writing, Original Story.
Their families must have been so proud of them. Imagine how they’d feel to see the terms being used today to represent fascist bigotry of the worst sort — the kind that DESTROYS the type of community their writing promoted.
Hey Cassie. Those links you provided were to some well written blogs. Thanks.

Don’t we have a Blog Goddess named Jane — with some Hollywood connections?

From the piece, “The Corps on Friday was slated to wrap up an investigation into allegations that a corporal in the Individual Ready Reserve who appeared in gay porn films before enlisting solicited more than $12,000 from private organizations by asking them to fund a deployment to Iraq he never made, according to e-mails from the investigating officer forwarded to Marine Corps Times.”
Ho-lee sheeyit.
Hope you feel like sucking some dicks, Matt! Looks like it might be the only line of work you’ll get from now on.
Good idea Mrs K8…

Hi Cassie Freckles. I’m still reading your blog. Keep it up. I like the layout. You and your friends have a good eye.
Suzanne @ 174
We MIGHT start a website just for teens to blog. We were throwing names around earlier. What do you like better — CHANGE GANG or POLITEENS?

Hpw about the Dill Dough Club for these domestic Taliban hunters?

Cassie, I like em both but am pulled towards Politeens .
Aw, shit.
Hey, Cassie.
*blushes*
I didn’t know there was a minor present.
I, uh, hope that Cpl. Matt Sanchez finds a suitable new line of work once he is discharged from the Marine Corps, and that he makes lots of lovely new friends.
Renee in Ohio @ 157
I had a similar experience with the two I have now. When I brought them home they were incredibly shy, and would hide whenever I was home. After about a week, I was finally able to lure them out by serving them some leftover baked chicken. I tried it again the next night, and the night after, and eventually they became socialized. The downside, of course, is now Ophelia, Princess of the Universe, must be hand-fed chicken for dinner every night!
Geez, TRex, never seen someone turn from green to red before. Interesting.
Eureka Springs @ 177
Yo, TRex!!! –
What do you think? You talk to Jane regularly, no? You want to ask her what she thinks about the notion of informing the Frank Capra Estate about what Malkin is doing?
He was BOTH director AND producer of Meet John Doe.
The families of the writers up for the Oscar for Best Original Writing might be interested, too. (I mentioned them above.)
Did anybody see the awesomely bad video they made for this little hate club?
http://hotair.com/archives/200…..-john-doe/
Am I wrong? At the end, do they pay bizarre tribute to guys from flight 93/9-11?
Cassie @ 179
I like POLITEENS… but you could probably get a firedoglake name contest started… hint, hint.
As for the email scandel that will bring down Rove – screw finding out what the procedures for email were, the law seems to be clear. Move to secure these email right away.
If I were Waxman I would investigate the email retention policy and ensure an audit trail and full backup under independent control were possible. Just because these losers pressed delete does not mean the email is gone. I would hope that the government can properly retain its records…um comanpanies have to do it all the time and the FDA etc comes through the doors and start arresting when there is failure to comply.
The thought that people with vested interest can make our history disapear is enough to make me want to puke.
Dear Mr. Fitzgerald,
Did Karl Rove turn over all of his e-mails?

TRex @ 187
c’mon. Discharge?
Hi Cassie!
Can I officially declare this Dedication Friday, and have everyone dedicate “appropriate” songs to La Malkin?
I’ll start: on the new collaboration between Bruce Hornsby and Ricky Skaggs (strange bedfellows?) there is a bluegrass version of “Super Freak.” I’d like to dedicate it to Miz Mee-shell, cuz she is one. And nearly everything that comes out of her pie-hole or keyboard is just as painfully inappropriate as a bluegrass version of a Rick James song.
Feel free to pile on, pups.

Any legal eagles in the house tonight? Is Leahy smart enough to have already secured the sanctity/preservation of the emails?

Teen Tidbits is my site. We are talking about a HuffPo with teen bloggers.
Suzanne –
After reading about Meet John Doe, I finally hiked on over to your blog.
Love your peony! And those two cuties on the deck! Didn’t know you had TWO doggies. What sweethearts!
Hadn’t been over there for a little bit — congratulations on the engagement of your (phone-and-hairbrush! very funny!) daughter Jennifer.
About Mighty Matty – isn’t it just typical that the ‘toast of the CPAC’ and the newest conservative darling, who was ‘embraced by conservatives’ even after his past film career was revealed, turns out to be a scammer and a liar – soliciting $12,000 in funds to ’support (his) purported deployment to Iraq’ (which never happened!)
He’s got solid-gold Republican cred, all right. No wonder they loved him!
Mrs K8 – David Ehrenstein (sp?) might have a quick idea how to find an answer to this question… Maybe you could leave a message on his blog. (I have not seen the movie)
newspaperbrat @ 197
Unless someone was stupid enough to print them out, or save them to a personal chron file, I doubt we’ll ever see any of the emails that apparently ran through accounts on the “gwb43.com” domain. I assume that even these nitwits are smart enough to hire competent IT help and clue them in to the fact that because the entire point of the exercise is to avoid having these emails auto-archived on the White House system, nothing should be saved. I am far from an IT guy, but I don’t think that BlackBerry Enterprise Server has any archiving settings that can’t be overriden.
TRex –
Thank you, you lovely theropod, you!
If the Frank Capra Estate doesn’t actively monitor blogs, it could be a while before they would get to hear about it in the normal order of business.
And it would be a wonderful thing if La Malkin had to pull down the name and make a public apology after getting a letter from the Estate’s attorney, now, wouldn’t it?
Thanks again!
Mrs. K8, the blonde cutie is my dog’s sister, Goldie. She lives next door and the two of them run back and forth between the houses.
I swear, that is a true description of my Jen as a young thang. She turns 30 this June.
Hey Cassie – just wanted to say that I think your blog is great! Keep up the awesome work. Another one of these days, when I’m awake (soooo tired right now), I’d love to talk politics with you. I’m so curious how a lot of teenagers view the world and their government today – it has to seem like a completely different world than the simple world I grew up in (most of my teenage years were in the Reagan era).
I’m gonna hit the hay. Mr. LOTF has been really sick all night, and I’m going to check on him and see if I can get in the bed (ten bucks says he’s sprawled out in the middle of the bed and I won’t be able to nudge him outta the way!)
Hope you all have a great night – and watch out for the MM loving trolls!
Mrs. K8 @ 207
heh – you have a fine mind Mrs. K8.
“Sadr, whom the U.S. military says is believed to be in Iran, urged Iraqis to protest in the holy Shi’ite city of Najaf on April 9, the fourth anniversary of when American troops swept into central Baghdad in 2003.”

Well, thank goodness the NSA has been tapping everyone’s communications. If any of these various accounts have “missing” email, I’m sure the NSA will have copies. ;)
Good night!
Cassie @ 180
I prefer Change Gang, it says what you’re about (change) and it’s got that slightly tough, don’t mess with us, we’re a GANG, thing going. Maybe that’s just me, I like the idea of youth run wild in the political blogosphere.
Oh crap, GSD.
Eureka Springs @ 204
Which question do you mean? How to contact the Capra Estate? Or how to find the descendents of the writers who came up with the notion of “John Doe Clubs” and the “John Doe Movement”? Or something else?
I don’t know much about David Ehrenstein, other than that I usually like his comments here. I’ve never been to his blog. Do you know the name? I just thought that Jane might have an opinion on whether it would be good to contact Frank Capra’s Estate or not. Someone else mentioned that they are very jealous of his rightly earned good name.
You really ought to rent the film or make a point of seeing it the next time it’s on Turner Classic Movies. It truly is a classic, and it was very inspiring and terribly popular when first released. Even in 1941 there were many communities still badly ravaged by the poverty and hopelessness of the Great Depression. Homestyle fascists like Father Coughlin (ptui, I spit in his general direction — he lived in Collingswood, NJ not far from my mom, and she despised the ground that fascist bigot walked on) were popular in “certain quarters.”
This film was a beautiful (and funny) tribute to the value of each member of the community, and how the power of the people to lift each other up and create goodwill amidst diversity could not be infringed by the elites.
Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. I think it did much better box office at the time than “It’s a Wonderful Life” did. Check it out if you get the chance, you won’t be sorry.
Am off to serve a late dinner to my guy now. See y’all later!
Alright, kids, that’s it for me.
Good night!
Great to see you guys.
g’nite TRex. Sleep well and enjoy your weekend.
All good starting points, imo. His blog can be found here. I will set the tivo in order to catch it the next time it’s on. Thanks for the recommendation.
I thought THIS was John Doe.
Does Anchor-Baby™ (aka Miz MalKKKin) mind that he is wearing a see-through tee shirt and singing with that other woman?
Mrs. K8 @

The guy who made the buttons is asking people to sue him. So, I think we should oblige. In the spirit of getting along, I mean.
Ah, yes, about all that’s missing from that little pledge is the affirmation that they’ll make hand soap and lampshades out of anyone who they think might try to hurt them….
Maybe they should be calling that little club “The Sick Puppy Society.”

Which reminds me… wonder if they’re planning to hire a lobbyist, just to see if they can get legislation for a federal bounty on anyone they don’t like?

Here’s one connection Hatch wants concealed.
The Griles connection. Griles was a mega-lobbyist/briber for Big Energy / Mining. His boss Gale Norton – former DOI secretary – just happened to represent the same interests before Bush/Cheney picked her to “protect and manage” America’s public lands.
So when Gale came to loot America’s lands for Cheney/Bush, she brought Griles along to help.
You know – that whole Interior thing.
Our public Federal lands…
Inside the pockets of the resource megacorps.
By some odd twist of fate, the DOI “ethics” attorney appoinnted by Norton to “look after” Griles’ blatant conflict of interest also came from Big Energy / Mining / Timber.
Who knew?
Well – in addition to Norton -
Griles, his minder/spouse, and the Big Energy lobbyist who bought a house to share with them.
Aww – ain’t they sweet?
And so effective.
The mining/energy megacorps depended on Norton/Griles to help them keep stiffing American Indians for unpaid royalties – and if Norton/Griles failed, the megacorps were on the hook for hundreds of billions in unpaid claims to individual Native Americans.
The individual claims have been consolidated in one suit (Cobell). The good stewards of Native America at the BIA and DOI have naturally joined their true wards – energy, mining, and timber – in fanatic warfare against the Cobell plaintiffs and the Federal Judiciary.
Claims for unpaid royalties owed to Native American tribes and nations could also amount ot hundreds of billions.
Even the lying Abu admits the total just from individaul claims could be $200 billion.
Owed by the mining/energy/timber megacorps who thoughfully underwrote Orrin Hatch – and bought his votes and “fealty”.
Griles spent years as DOI’s No 2 while the Department “lost” and destroyed royalty records sought in the Cobell suit.
Hatch’s protege Jeffrey A. Taylor – Abu’s former assistant – is the USA for the Distict of Columbia – appointed Septmember ‘06.
This was a few months after Griles investigation and likely criminal indictment for lying to Congress about Abramoff ties was known.
A few weeks ago Jeffery A. Taylor approved the
cover-up..obstruction of justice… plea bargain permitting Steven Griles, formerly No 2 at Interior, plead guilty to lying to Congress without ever cooperating with further investigations.Wampum points to more details on Taylor at WaPo:
Wampum has more on Taylor, DOJ, Hatch, and Griles:
Oh – and Kyle Sampson – Abu’s chief of staff? Remember him? And the 122 times he couldn’t?
Well – no one asked him on Thursday – and he prolly wouldn’t remember – but reliable Kyle did remember to conspire to commit Federal crimes against the Cobell plaintiffs.
And he even remebered to commit them.
When the Senate insisted on testimony on the Cobell accounting crimes at DOI from the Federal Special Trustee For American Indians (Tom Slonaker), Griles, Norton, and then advisor to the President Kyle Sampson ordered Slonaker to lie to the Senate by changing his written testimony.
After Slonaker showed up in person and testified honestly despite the Griles / Norton / Sampson conspiracy to obstruct justice and provide false testimony to Congress, Sampson (from Bush) and Griles (from Interior) fired Slonaker.
Wampum had the story:
Bolding mine.
Nexus to:
- purge of USA’s
- co-conspirators to obstruct justice and lie to the Senate
- energy/mining megacorps protected by co-conspirators
- convicted corrupt DOJ ex-No 2
(who was beneficiary of USA purge.
and mega-lobbyist for energy/mining interests protected by co-conspirators)
Well – that nexus is good ‘ol Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah.
Now where have I been reading about criminal conspirators for Bush with close ties to Utah?
And who was pulling Orrin’s strings during Orrin’s slurpfest on Kyle Sampson at Thursday’s hearing?
Mack @ 16

Thanks, TOW.
I’m very drunk so I won’t say what I’m thinking about MM…mostly because saying that, even about her, will get me banned.

Suzanne @ 233
Continued cold, clear weather. It was minus 2F here this morning, but warmed into the mid or high 30s. ET, Jr. is off to DC for the high school Close-Up program for a week. Just back from the dress rehearsal for the Anchorage Civic Orchestra’s “Family Concert” tomorrow. I’m only playing in one piece – the suite from “Le Cid,” by Jules Massenet. Delibes cleared the way for Massenet, who cleared the way for Faure. Great, but largely forgotten composers.
Jacqrat, look for any Renee in Ohio comment and click on her name. She posted a transcript over at her place of CHS’s interview.
Hi ET…. talked to my loan officer at Alaska USA FCU this afternoon…. she really did not want to hear that it was 79 degrees this afternoon…. Told her that we are in a cooling trend… it was 99 two weeks ago!
Oh good, I missed Christy this morning too… that thing called work intruded.
kirk murphy >
Now it is interesting that you mention mining and the DoI. It seems that there is a connection to Mr. Cheney & Mr. Cunningham sorta, kinda with Jack Abrahamoff and the Native American scam he was running.
It seems that Mr. Mitchell Wade of MZM “fame” got his first Federal contract through OVP (Mr. Cheney) after being certified as a Federal contractor by the Minerals Management Service office w/in the DoI (wonder who coulda done that ?). Then, of course the fun began w/Duke, boats, hookers, CIA stuff & that other super duper secret money movement.
The deeper the digging the more it stinks but we need to keep digging to the bottom no matter the aroma.
Connection here w/a hat tip to Josh Marshall
“Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.” – John Kenneth Galbraith
Also front companies…
I read this diary long ago on kos
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/12/3/204731/868
which lead to this post:
“cannonfire wilkes
deeper into wilkesmzm
It looks like there might be front companies and….. surprisingly every employee donated up to the legal limit to the RNC and Republican candidates.
Company XX gets a Defense contact then has all of their employees donate up to the legal limit to the RNC or Repugs which ensures that they get more Defense contracts which then generates more donations…. like of looks like money laundering to me.
katymine @ 239
89F in my greenhouse today. I’ve held up starting plants ’cause it is so cold at night. But I practiced and graded papers out there this afternoon. Felt excellent. I read the transcript of Christy’s appearance. We’re taking over. What a mess we have to clean up.
katymine >
And of course Company XX probably makes sure that all their “faithful” (full of faith ?) employees have a little extra in those pay envelopes to make sure they can pay the mortgage, food bills, etc & the Federal budget gets in deeper red territory.
Sweet deal, loot the candy store.

Great pickups, daCascadian and katymine.
Somewhere on the web over the last few days, I read an intricate well-referenced account of systematic fraud in MMS leases enriching – of course – Big Energy and Big Minerals.
Ties the conspiracy, fraud, and obstruction of justice to current thefts of public assets.
Your comment reminded me, daCascadian, but I think I’m too sleepy to find it.
Who wanted to know if the dogwoods are blooming? Mine is! here
DAMN… missed Christy again. I listened early and then at the end but missed it because of a training class. Oh well… will go read the transcript. Not the same
Here’s one of the MMS articles I was looking for.
Again, Wampum connects the DOI dots.
That the name – Wooldridge. The Big Energy / Big Minerals lobbyist and attorney brought in by Big Timber / Big Energy uber-lobbyist Gale Norton to be the ethical “minder” for mega-lobbyist Griles.
Wooldridge – the ethics attorney who married Griles – the rule breaker DOI paid her to supervise…but couldn’t rmeember to notify DOI of the nuptials.
(The oil mega-lobbyists can’t afford any extra places at their wedding recpetions, don’cha know?)
Wooldridge – now DOI’s point person in “protecting” Native Americans and public lands against her co-lobbyists from Big Energy and Big Minerals.
What’s to worry?

Thanks for all the info and reflections on it.
That is exactly what I kept thinking: WTF, who is making this guy quake (the Aspen thing again). It was bizarre.
Different, but equally pittiful was Spector’s hammering away at and trying to distance himself from the clause in the Patriot Act. The more he tried to twist away from it, the more attention he drew to it and his role in it.
Fear mongering its like drugs to these authoratarian personality types you need more and more to get high. I’m guessing that if bush were to declare martial law that they would welcome the fear buzz they would welcome any story bush told to justify martial law because then they could say that they were right. My guess is that the fear junkies are getting desperate their getting bored, and thats whats driving down bush’s support amoung his base.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia may have won the National Invitation Tournament, but the Mountaineers’ commemorative T-shirts are less than championship material.
They contain a misspelling.
The “West Virginia” printed on the shirts players wore after winning the NIT title with a 78-73 victory over Clemson on Thursday night is missing the last “i” in “Virginia.”
Future historians will name March and April 2007 as the period where so many wheels fell off the Republican bus that the Republicans had to go around stealing buses so they could have more wheels to fall off.
Mornin’ all. o/t (is there such a thing when Late Night has become Early Morning?)A lovely clear morning here in Maine. Snow almost gone. Just about time to set out the Wall o’Water thingies to get a jump start on the tomatoes.

Not sure but think it may be whenever someone remembers to unlatch the screen door. *g*
Do those wall o’water thingies really work as well as I’ve heard? Sorta like the old English glass bell jars? How soon can you expect to have sandwich-ready tomatoes in your neck of the woods?
Marion -
Hope you see this b/c I’ll probably be gone by time Christy gets stirring. Sent recipe to your addy a little while ago; leave word at pull up a chair if it didn’t get thru (sometimes have problems w/that sort of thing).
Waccamaw –
It’s been a few years since I had a garden (deer, family upheavals) and I’ve never really pushed the season with the wall o’waters – BUT – since I have learned not to count on a frost-free date before Memorial Day, and since I find myself with spare energy this year, I thought I’d see how far I could push the season.
Long story short: I have no idea. But I’ll be sure to post when I have a red tomato!
(Now, if the mechanical Scare Crows keep the deer and the woodchuck away, I’ll even have greens … .)
It seems likely that I am obsessing about gardening because the unbridled hope is an effective antidote to the disgust over the corruption of the current administration. Go Waxman!

Ixnay, good luck with the Walls of Water. I hope they work well for you. Down here we have sort of the reverse problem. The tomatoes sort of gasp and slow waaaaay down during the worst of the summer’s heat and humidity, and then they perk up and start producing well again in the fall when it cools off a bit. And they keep on producing until a hard frost.
Mornin’.
Mornin’ all!

I’ve gotta a sneaky feeling that a lot of us are getting energy upgrades this year; Waxman = generator ;-)
Waccamaw, I got your recipe just fine. I’ll let you know when I try it. I’ve kept on making it the “old timey” way because the quick version in the blender is too “fluffy” for me. I’ll be interested to see how yours turns out. Thanks!

Nothing to do for that tho.

I’d rather yank her American citizenship and send her back to the Philippines.

Since I live in New York City, I am going to have to quit my job and start reporting full-time on the 90% of the people on the streets of Manhattan. Not only do most of them look foreign, many also look like weirdos. Ya think that Michelle will raise funds for me so that I can pay the rent, eat, and generally live, while I am doing my patriotic duty?
Yikes!!! It appears she has taken the plot from the 1941 Frank Capra movie, “Meet John Doe”, starring Gary Cooper as “John Doe”, and turned it inside out. If the movie had followed this story line, “John Doe” would have jumped from the roof of the building.
Well, considering that Blackwater is operated by a fundy and essentially a private army with fealty to the Republicans … the recent revelations that Pat Robertson’s gambit has put over 150 fundies into powereful positions at the WH and DoJ … that the ‘Minutemen’ are everything but officailly sacntioned by the administration … the reports of violence and oppopression at the hands of these very organizations … and the numerous calls by the Malkins/Savage/Coulters of the world to incite violence against Libruls and label them as “Post human”, traitors and the like … I would think is very prudent to take these people very, very seriously. They do.

Are you ragging on TEENAGERS? We’d do a way better job than the repubs.
I find it interesting that in such a large group of “open minded” people, we’ve so far had posts saying she needed “a meat sandwich”, should be kicked out of the country, and lets not forget making fun of the way she looks (I guess not enough hair under the arms for you “guys”, eh?).
Oh yeah, and when some one doesn’t have a racist (yeah, that’s right, not just the other side can be racist) comments about Gonzalez or Ms. Rice (btw, I’m sure all the minority appointments Clinton made were persecuted this same way by the other side, right?), you bring up Haliburton or some other non-related subject. I’m so glad the dems are in charge now – I’m sure they’ll fix all the problems – I mean after Pelosi and co. are done heading off to the great nation of Syria, as will calling Ms. Rice in to talk about Niger – that’s great progress (btw, if you really can’t see the partisan crap they are pulling, you really, really are blind and hopeless).
Best wishes friends.
My first thought was the same as your statement:
“Stop! Stop! You’re kidding me, right? Is this for fucking real?”
I went to her website, and sure enough it is real! She is out of her fucking mind! How the hell can any media present her to the public? There are some limits on free speech. Her comments could well be worse than yelling fire in a crowded theater. Certinly the number of people directly involved is much greater. She is so disgusting she makes Coulter seem sweet. I refuse to allow myself to look at either of them to make a comparison. Sick! Sick! Sick! The MSM that shows them as well the demented little girls.
I am, like, SO reporting you guys to Homeland Security. I like took that oath and everything. This here comment section is all very suspicious activity. I am your customer. I mean, I am your sunshine. NO! I mean, I am your worst nightmare. You know what I mean. I am John Doe. I am doing as my President asks and shopping night and day to make America safe from the terrorists.
Oh Matty, for kicks, let’s dissect your idiocy one part at a time.
I find it interesting that in such a large group of “open minded” people, we’ve so far had posts saying she needed “a meat sandwich”
Your reading comprehension skills need work – no one said she “needed” a meat sandwich. Go back and reread the comment.
should be kicked out of the country
Oh how terrible! After all, all Malkin has done is advocate the detention and criminalization of innocent Americans. Why would that make anyone angry?
and lets not forget making fun of the way she looks
Tyrants-in-training deserve to be mocked.
(I guess not enough hair under the arms for you “guys”, eh?)
Trust us, Malkin’s ugliness has nothing to do with her armpit hair – her hideousness is out there for all to see at all times.
Oh yeah, and when some one doesn’t have a racist (yeah, that’s right, not just the other side can be racist)
Thank you for admitting the racist inclinations of rightwingers. It’s about time.
comments about Gonzalez or Ms. Rice
You’re quite good at finding needles in haystacks, I’ll give you that. For every 9,000 comments criticising Rice and Gonzalez for their incompetence and lies, you notice the one demented individual who makes a racist comment, and don’t even notice the smackdown that gets from everyone else.
(btw, I’m sure all the minority appointments Clinton made were persecuted this same way by the other side, right?)
You tell me, you seem to know a lot about this “other side”.
you bring up Haliburton or some other non-related subject.
No we don’t. Nyah.
I’m so glad the dems are in charge now
Great! Us too.
I’m sure they’ll fix all the problems
Well, I’m not as optimistic as that, but I am glad that the Bush administration will finally be held accountable for their corruption and excesses by someone. The Republican congress had completely abdicated their duties, and it was time for some grownups to take charge. The American people sure seemed to think so.
I mean after Pelosi and co. are done heading off to the great nation of Syria
You say that like it’s a bad thing. Even Republicans have gone and will go to Syria. Besides, doesn’t your boy Bush like to hold hands with Saudi princes?
as will calling Ms. Rice in to talk about Niger – that’s great progress
It is, actually – it’s called accountability. I know, rightwingers seem to be unfamiliar with the concept, but most Americans know it well.
(btw, if you really can’t see the partisan crap they are pulling
Oh, we see plenty of partisan crap every day – that’s what the Gonzales hearings and such are all about. You made your bed now lie in it.
Good morning, pups
Cassie – I think you’re right: y’all would do way better than the Rethugs.
And calliope @ 256….
Thanks for your kind comment. Myself, I went to bed wondering if anyone has mapped out intersections between Abramoff’s casino work and Griles/Norton’s conspiracy to obstruct justice and prevent payments from energy/minning to tribes.
First spatial overlay would be the tribes fleeced by Abramoff’s casino deals. (Special attention to tribal goverments in which the same tribal government members distracted by casino mini-wealth lost focus on the tribes ongong claims against Griles’ owners in Big Energy/Mining.)
Second spatial overlay is the physical locations where royalty payments are claimed (against Big Energy/Mining) by plaintiffs in the Coburn megasuit against DOI.
The third spatial overlay maps the physical locations of the MMS (Mineral Management Service) leases manged by DOI. MMS under Griles/Norton systematically uncharged and under collected for Federal revenues owed by Big Energy/Mining.
Fourth spatial overlay is the map of physical locations of environmental crimes on public or tribal plans ignored by DOI lawyers. Griles’ live-in girlfriend (who married him while “monitoring” his ethical lapses) just happened to be the chief environmental “enforcement” atorney at DOI; she came to DOI with Norton from prior lucratve work for Mining/Energy/Timber.
Fifth spatial overlay would be the US Attorneys’ geographic responsibilities.
(And now it’s time for the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Markets….

“… I will act when homeland security officials ask me to “report suspicious activity.”
I will embrace my local police department’s admonition: “If you see something, say something.”
I am John Doe…”
Now just what does the term “John Doe” really mean? I always thought it meant an unidentified dead body…
Seems to me this Malkin chick is promoting outright SS-style vigilante-ism, and she is also fear-mongering in order to rope in some of Coulter’s lost flock of right-wing goats.
Well, Mr. and Mrs. Doe, do you plan to report Rush Limbaugh the next time you see him on his prescription pogostick, hopping from one doctor’s office to another to load up on synthetic morphine?
Or is this ridiculous, meandering and privacy-violating pledge simply good evidence that Ms. Malkin is just another hopped-up-wingnut-wannabe-narc, much more likely to turn in their neighbors’ long-haired college kids because they suspect them of smoking a joint, than they are of spotting and exposing a real terrorist?
And all the while, these self-righteous vigilantes, these self-appointed protectors of our national security, pop their illegal pills, so they can artificially manufacture and maintain the twisted drug-induced euphoric anti-democratic enthusiasm they portray so blatantly in their convoluted posts and comments?
Just wondering…
HYPOCRITES!!!
hi mods – just ourt of curiosity, is there any apparent reason why 291 went into mod?
I’m not complaining – merely curious.
As ever, thanks for your work!

How about we leave it that people who provide venues for games of chance also like to send lots of spam.
Rocket Scientist;
“How the hell can any media present her to the public?”
key word…”hell”
You provided the answer to your question in your question.
TRex, you rock. I’m printing that one out.
“Best wishes friends.”
liar…
I’m an American Indian. I see all non-American Indians as foreigners. Let’s start with Malkin and the Bush family and send them back where they came from.

Hatch and the Mormon Mafia tweaked the Patriot Act while Spector slept at an AIP*C Fest on just how 3700 Israeli tanks missed the Lebanon border.
Considering the source, it sounds more like Dr. Seuss:
I will watch you in my car.
I will watch you in a bar.
I will watch you on the street.
I will watch you when I eat.
I will watch you come and go.
Who am I? I am John Doe!
I want to be afraid of Malkin, I really do, because she says some seriously scary shit sometimes. But, I just can’t. Because she also comes up with purely crazy shit like the Mickey Mouse Terrorist Lookout Secret Decoder Club.
I am John Doe’s colon. I am John Doe’s raging bile duct. I am John Doe’s inflamed sense of rejection.
I wanna join. And my first rat-out is this: I’m reporting Malkin. She sure looks like a foreigner to me no matter how much she tries to have her eyes widened.
Okay but everyone surely knows by now that she is insane.
I’d like to report that Michelle Malkin kind of looks like an islamic person from Singapore.
Hi Folks: You know what really makes me angry about this? Anyone see the movie Meet John Doe?
It was directed by Frank Capra and it started Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck. The John Doe Society created in the movie was one created to HELP each other to look out for each other! To help your neighbor. So she turns it around and twists what that movie’s John Doe Society was all about. It was the message of looking OUT for your neighbor not RATTING out your neighbor.
The movie also showed how ruthless people in power can be. And how they use the media to manipulate and when they want and when the media doesn’t cooperate, they find some shills to scream out fake stuff to drown out the truth.
I wonder if she watched the movie and said. “I’ll do the opposite!”
What a horrible, horrible person.
I am John Doe’s total lack of surprise.
Hey! I liked the graphic at the top.
And then….
Well, ya’ know how something really small and insignificant
can start to bug and annoy you out of all proportion to its real importance? Yeah, so I know no one is even reading this anymore and so this is kind of the ultimate self inflicted EPU..BUT ANYWAY..
The saying “a pot calling the kettle black.” Uhmm.. It’s
about the kettle. Cause I don’t think the graphic shows the right kind. Don’tcha think
they meant like a cauldron? The kind you might easily put a fine pile of fish in? Cause
I could be wrong but did they ever make cast iron tea kettles? Porcelain sure, but
black cast iron?
So anyway,no offence.And no one cares right? Was just one of those things.Thanks!
P.S.
Wow,what if someone sees this
and it suddenly became a hot
topic.And they had to invent a new term sorta like epued but refering to a post that was epued intentionaly bringing lot’s of media attention to a post that had previously forgotten..that’d be cool….
