From the FDL Dept. of Accidental Poetry:
“An outdoor news conference in perfect spring weather, with birds chirping loudly in the magnolia trees, is not without its hazards. As President Bush took a question Thursday in the White House Rose Garden about scandals involving his Attorney General, he remarked, ‘I’ve got confidence in Al Gonzales doin’ the job.’ Simultaneously, a sparrow flew overhead and left a splash on the President’s sleeve, which Bush tried several times to wipe off.”
We at the D.A.P. feel that the only way this act of God could have been more appropriate would be if it had been a bull rather than a sparrow flying over the Rose Garden to deliver its steaming payload.
Thank you and have a pleasant tomorrow.

First!

Turd!
solo lolo. :@)
Good Evening TRex!
If I was given to interpreting such things as signs of divine intervention, this would be one of those times.
Hi Teddy. What’s your girlfriend Debbie H. up to these days?
Evening all. I see that God has responded to Bush’s comments in a most appropriate manner.
A dove supposedly came down from heaven when John the Baptist dunked Jesus of Nazereth, and said, “Behold My Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
And then, there was today.
Jane Hamsher @ 7
I suspected your intervention, Jane — was that a Connecticut Sparrow sent on its mission before you got on the train for home?
Really, what can you add to this? That bird should get a medal.
Evenin’ TRex, evenin’ all. That sparrow made my day!!
boing – backwards reversing double twisting bellyflop that pisses everyone off with the splash – in honor of the dems
DrDick @ 9
Even more appropriate if it had been a bald eagle dive-bombing Der Shrubbenfuhrer….
In Rome and Greece, the locals would promtly read the portend for what it was and gotten rid of leader who the birds pooped on.
That pissed me off, Suzanne. (Tried to get on your website, but noooo.)
EvilDrPuma @ 15
Actually a dyspeptic buzzard would be most appropriate.
gives new meaning to the expression, “gone to the birds” I guess
It was my bird. I trained it well. :)
Goose poop in looseness and quantity would have been perfect.
Quoting the WH Press Sec., “…everyone knows it’s good luck”.
I laughed harder at that then Bush getting shat on. And who the hell is everyone? I have NEVER heard anybody and couldn’t imagine them getting shit on and saying “Hey, it’s my lucky day!”.
…?
How it should have gone:
Bush: Ah’ve got cawn-fidence in Al Gonzales doin’ the job. What the-?
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*Splat!*
LooHoo, were you looking for my blog?
What was left out was then he tried to rub it off with his bare fingers. What he did to get it off his fingers, I’m not sure.
Jane Hamsher @ 8
It’s all vertical half-pages, messy inkprint that rubs off on your hand, plastic bags that don’t keep the rain off, and section-front advertising that consumes Mrs. Howell lately. Not incidentally, none of these issues burn for the digerati among WaPoO readers….
I did get Howie Kurtz to slap her around a little in his Monday chatz this week, though:
SnarKassandra @ 20
TRex has a fighting Koi and Cassie has an attack sparrow. Life is good.
African or European Swallow?
I’m convinced the Secret Service is secretly training swallows to crap on Shrub. Their only way to get back at W and maintain surface loyalty.
Off to take ET, Jr. to his 18th birthday Thai dinner.
Evening everyone.
Day after my surgery here. Feeling a bit thrashed but well. There’s a bit of hope because there were some fibroids removed. Let’s hope it does away with the pain.
Good sparrow!
SnarKassandra @ 20
707!
We’re working on it. But funding for mad science just isn’t what it used to be, you know?
Balrog @ 28
I dunno.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!
Then again, there was that wonderful Mel Brooks parody of Hitchcock where he is sitting under a tree and an entire flock poops on him!
Ah, just picture it!
And when will we hear from Ned the Fighting Koi again??? Anything to lighten the day.
Balrog @ 28
How’s diapers?
Balrog @ 28
How is the baby? You have a pic yet?
TRex!!! Arrgh, epu’d, Ce la vie!!!

one of the best sh*ts ever ….
Speaking of birds, can anyone make sense of my congresscritters (Davis, D-CA) statement on her vote in favor of the Spineless Capitulaton Act of 2007?

Go Girl, f*ck the Bulgarians and the whole panel!!!

Glad you are back – the pain will subside – hopefully very soon.
It was a Liberal Sparrow to be sure. It answered his bullsh*t with its birdsh*t.
Balrog @ 43
Hooray for WeeRog!!
Congratulations again, Big Papa.
This thread, and the glass of wine I’m drinking, are the perfect ending to a horrible day.

Many thanks.

So you are surviving the initial rigors parenthood without undue hardship or sleeplessness?
solai @ 48
yeah, one of the best thing from the day. trying not to feel too down, at least I’m back home w/ my sweetie after being away all week …
I want a sweetie.
*sniff*
Mikey @ 22
Getting shat upon was one of my biggest (embarrassment) fears when I was a teenager at the beach.
Another possible plus…what do you think is up with Rove going to the Capitol tonight?
That bird has my vote for a permanent White House press pass. She’s obviously more in tune with the mood of mainstream America than the current White House press corps.
Suzanne @ 24
Yes, please.
Urban Pirate @ 51
Is he going to declare on the sly?
Among the least surprising developments arising from Monica Goodling’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee was the reflexive use of the “criminalization of politics” defense. Not by the witness, that is, but by Republican members of the committee themselves. That is to be expected. After all, whether the scandal involves Tom Delay, the outing of Valerie Plame, Jack Abramoff, or the U.S. attorneys purge, we can always count on the GOP to recast its rampant criminality as mere political disagreement.
For the details, see:
“Politicizing Crime.”
I am waiting for the bird puns to begin . . .

he’s taking it over

You better!!! The Lake is afroth with Weerog’s appearance, time to baptize him in the Lake!!! ;)

I don’t. Been there, done that, filed for the restraining orders.

From DCCC email I just got:
um, yeah, right. keep up the good fight! Here’s a hundred dollars to support the great work! Thanks folks!

That thought had crossed my mind also. That bird has more huevos than the WH press.
LooHoo, my poor neglected blog is here.

How’s Mr. Garrett Chandler?
Loo Hoo. @ 55
Thanks! Now a new fear. Uh oh!
DrDick @ 9
Does he have the air force out hunting for the bird now… clearly it’s a member of AlQuak?
Blub @ 59
I sure hope so. I could use some good news.
TRex @ 54
I bet Betsy brings some sweets when she stops by. Will that help?
Suzanne @ 64
Maybe you can find that bird…
SnarKassandra @ 72
Let’s play “What’s That Neurosis: The Cassie Edition!”
Loo Hoo. @ 71
He’ll do.
Suzanne @ 68
Looks like you have some pretty nice eye candy there as well.
Blub @ 61
Maybe he’s going to see if he can borrow Cheney’s shotgun to get that damned librel bird!
aliasofwestgate @ 30
Yes, I’ll hope, Alias.
TeddySanFran @ 49
Who knows maybe he will veto it, then what?
Al Gore should be president
Blub @ 73
I’m surprised that he didn’t have the Secret Service shoot it.
TSF @ 50: I’m guessing they’ll be pointing this out tomorrow morning. And why shouldn’t they? They’re right: They got even more suckers to vote for this Iraq bill than they got to vote for the war to begin with. If the Democrats are going to act like morons, then they shouldn’t be surprised when the Republicans use their own idiocy against them.
Hooray for accidental poetry!
Al Qa’qaa’s revenge?
(There’s a better joke in there, just got off a train & a bit tired)
Thanks, Dr. Dick. It is a special place that I will miss.
best wishes to all. welcome to the baby balrog, hope aliaso’wg feels better soon, bummer suzanne about the restraining order, snarkK don’t worry too much about the bird poop scare — it either happens or it doesn’t …

neurophius @ 83
The bird would be a better president than what we have now.
Death Cheney would have taken care of that little bird but there was not a lawyer around.
“His eye is on the sparrow”…God and sparrows obviously have a very special relationship.
Lee5, the restraining order stuff was a long time ago but thanks anyway. forking rat bastoid rethug fundie arsehole (spitting)
While I appreciate the irony, it’s this that spreads around the MSM like wildfire. Great.
Al Gore really, really should be president
I’d like to leave a bag of bird seed alongside the WH fence as a gift to that sparrow. Think the Secret Service would mind?
Suzanne says:
Oh, c’mon. He’s the cutest dog in the world. How could you help yourself?
I have tucked Juan Carlos in and kissed his wee kitty head before, myself. Most I can do until PaTRex reproduces and gives me some nieces and nephews to spoil.
Raise your hand if you read Hot Stuff comics growing up.
Too bad Baby Huey wasn’t the bird that targeted W. today.
LoudounLib @ 100
What would they do with 200,000,000 bags of birdseed?
LoudounLib @ 101
Just as long as it doesn’t contain any zucchinni
LL, I would love to see hundreds of bags of birdseed left at the WH fence! Bwa-hahahahaha.
I’ve ignored TV for so long and my parents and i skipped the presser before i tossed something at the hotel tv when he started speaking today. It got an amused chuckle from both of them. ^^ So i missed the Sparrow Bombing.
But the best show we’ve been watching so far in our few day stay here? Because it lacks our favorite channels, has been Cash Cab on the discovery channel. It’s actually fairly smart and the host is quite good. Talk about your random quiz shows. hehe.
One thing it has proven? I come by my geekery honestly. XD
Balrog–
Haven’t had a chance to add my congrats on the birth of Weerog. Is his big brother adjusting to the addition?
sparrow shot – now thats poetic justice for sure lol – beautiful
Dr.Dick, #103,
You’re an evil-minded instigator, and I love it.
Could someone explain all the zucchini references I’ve been hearing today? I’m almost certain I’m missing something important here.
I’m sure it will be said, but Bush was not as gleeful at his presser as I would have expected. I wonder if there is something afoot with Abu, Rove, Miers et al.
I so badly want to post an A.R. Ammons poem here, but it’s too long. (TRex, you saw it)
So I will commit the (lesser?) offense of blogwhoring:
Shit List; Or, Omnium-gatherum Of Diversity Into Unity

Beautiful place, Suzanne. Love the peony.
(trying desperately to remember the lines from Alice’s Restaurant about one does it, if two, if three, etc. we will have us a movement)
A bird pooping on the Bush is worth giving two with both hands.
kristine @ 108
Thanks, and big bro thinks he’s very cool for a baby.
TRex @ 111
I believe the “smoking gun” in the Jose Padilla trial is that they have several taped phone calls of Padilla talking about buying zucchini. Seriously. You just can’t make this shit up.
Gnome de Plume @ 75
she is baking a pie for real
SnarKassandra @ 120
What kind?
Frank Probst @ 119
No, but the Bushies routinely do.
neurophius @ 99
I second that emotion! I almost cried watching him on Larry King.
TRex, Baby Girl graduated from High School today. Last I talked to her, she was on a bus headed from Utah to Dizzyland with 54 other grads. I asked how many adults were on the bus (meaning chaperons) she replied 55, we are all 18 or older.
I got epu’d a couple of threads back, but hey, it’s hard to work and swim the lake simultaneously. Here’s the comment…
My letter to my Democratic senator tonight…
Shame. I helped to elect you as part of the Democratic wave of 2006. High on the agenda that got that wave elected was the mandate to get us out of Iraq. President Bush needed to be stopped, not enabled merely because he held his breath and stomped his feet. You joined in the capitulation, against the mandate that worked hard to elect you. I’m not as ashamed of Kit Bond, though I will also work to see him retired at the end of his current term.
America needs a new direction, but sadly, you chose the same path that is killing our sons and daughters. Every IED, every suicide bomb, every ambush that kills our kids is now partly on the Democratic party’s…and by extension your….shoulders. Shame.
Suzanne @ 124
That’s very…er, comforting….
And the Fed’s theory is that that was code for weapons.
spinn @ 99
MSM reports all have the requisite Perky Perino “it’s good luck!!” comment attached. Where are these OfGeorges hatched?
EvilDrPuma @ 121
cherry cheesecake, but so far only cheesecake. cherries go on tomorrow.
Suzanne @ 116
You know, if
one person, just one person does it they may think he’s really sick and
they won’t take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
they may think they’re both faggots and they won’t take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. They may think it’s an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it’s a movement.
And that’s what it is , the Alice’s Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and
all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come’s around on the
guitar.
Suzanne @ 117
If one person does it, they’ll think your crazy and they won’t take you.
If two people do it, they’ll think you’re both faggots, and they won’t take either of you.
But if three people do it — three people, three people who walk in, sing a couple bars of Alice’s Restaurant (in harmony), and walk out — friends, they’ll think it’s a movement.
And that’s what it is. The Alice’s Restaurant Anti-Massacree Movement.
And all you’ve got to do to join, is sing along the next time it comes around on the guitar. . .
TeddySanFran @ 93
Ditto. Hear that Arlen? Rove thinks you’re too much of a chump for him to keep you in the loop. It’s one of those rare cases where us left-wingers and Karl Rove are in complete agreement.
ok, politics again — chimpy today:
but, this is a false framing. What we need to do is withdraw militarily and engage internationally. Start w/ war reparations, serious help rebuilding infrastructure, etc. Actually be sincere around this time [holding breath]
Suzanne @ 124
Welcome to the club. First time I felt old was when I realized my son was an adult. For that matter, his 30th birthday was more traumatic than my 50th.
Frank Probst @ 119
Ain’t it the TRUTH???
Tomorrow..? It’s bad luck to let a cheescake sit overnight…
Shadowstalker @ 125
Excellent.
Shadowstalker @ 125
yes, exactly.
Dr. Dick, oldest girl (there are only 2) turns 30 in June, thank you very much.
Alicia @ 131
Ah, yes . . . I left out the “fifty people a day.”
RonD @ 136
But the company is coming for dinner TOMORROW. My brother’s girfriend’s PARENTS. Everything has to be nice.
We gotta come up with the Anti-Massacre Save the Bird Movement. Cause you know that Dick is on the hunt.
Suzanne @ 124
Doesn’t Bode Well, M’Dear!!! ;)
RonD @ 136
Wouldn’t know. It has never happened in my house.
Is this the hidden subtext underneath the saying, “if pigs could fly …”?
RonD @ 137
I didn’t know it was possible to let a cheesecake sit overnight. I’ve certainly never seen it.
TeddySanFran @ 129
I’m fine with that last part. I’m hoping that all the right-wingers out there will start wearing birdshit as a fashion statement. It can be a modern sequel to “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.
Suzanne @ 143
Maybe AGAG will be his hunting buddy.
SnarKassandra @ 129
Lucky you.
Suzanne @ 139
My condolences. I am, however, living proof that you can survive even this.
Suzanne @ 142
Let’s go all PETA on ‘em!
Bay Buchanan on Colbert….
Does this person have a gender?
Bush did not notice the sh*t and then, later, reacted as if he had just been bombed. He is listening to someone and if they tell him to wipe off his arm, they are likely giving him the answers.
I figure they’ve all been drinking with Boehner after their exciting warvote. There’s no other reason for Arlen to speak up to a reporter, showing off his outta-da-loopness, in such an — uh, unplanned way
Blub @ 40
Y’all grow some good stuff in your district.
Simultaneously, a sparrow flew overhead and left a splash on the President’s sleeve
Unfortunately it wasn’t a LARGE diuretic hawk, but it’s a sign I guess ; )
solai @ 25
Well, since it was just a presser I guess there was no receiving line …
Aunt Betsy sent you all this and said you should learn to be patient.
DrDick @ 123
It should clear to anybody that the zucchini really does refer to the vegetable, at face value, and this indication amounts to absolute proof of the guilt Chicago’s favorite son, Jose Padilla. I mean, if AQ can mobilize birds to its cause, why not animated killer zucchini? I think shrubbery’s imperial prosecutors are onto something here.
AQ is clearly on the brink of conquering America with killer zucchini and attack sparrows. But don’t worry.. we have a couple hundred thousand troops hunting for the zucchini & sparrows weapons factory, in Iraq, where AQ plots all its evil
Suzanne @ 140
Suzanne, when did you start leaving the [pause] outta Dr. [pause] Dick’s name?
Do you think Cheney released some quail during the presser?
Oh, what was I thinking, the quail Cheney hunts can’t fly.
solai @ 128
I’ll bet you a dollar to a doughnut that it was code for dildos.
TRex @ 111
In its effort to build a case–any case–against Jose Padilla, who the government had held without charges for several years until ordered by the Supreme Court to bring charges–the government alleged that references to “zucchinni” in intercepted phone calls involving Padilla was some kind of terrorist code for bombs or something–evidence that he was a terrorist.
Maybe he was just making a vegetable casserole with zuccinis in it?
I like pie!
I was just telling Pach on the phone a couple of nights ago that my yearning for love is being semi-successfully managed right now through the use of online shopping and the generous application of chocolate eclairs.
Mmmm.
Eclairs.
Loo Hoo. @ 152
She used to back in the 70s. The 1870s.
TeddySanFran @ 154
Speaking of which… If crocodile tears have ever been shed in the House well, Boehner leads by example…
Yes…if there was ever a day for Smaug the Dragon with bowel trouble to visit a WH presser, today was the day.
TRex @ 165
Hmmm. Eclairs… Not good for the waist line, which is not good for finding a sweetie.
THAT’s why Rover and Fielding were on Capitol Hill tonite — giving the Dear Leaderists their new fashion orders! Everyone of them will be wearing birdshit-spattered suits tomorrow, to pledge their fealty.
Must let cheesecake cool very, very gradually. She might even keep it in the oven to cool.
Brewster McCloud, anyone?
TSF, I save the (pause) for when it is needed :) I am in touch with my inner bitch.
SnarKassandra @ 158
OOH, That’s not right!!! :P
Y’all can’t even wait until I am done with the pie to ask for your midnight snack? Well! Not even 11pm here!
Good evening dear friends. Anyone need another slice?
SnarKassandra @ 164
Maybe he was planning to re-enact the airport scene from “This is Spinal Tap.”

Talk about your rethug lock-step discipline!
SnarKassandra @ 20
I dare you to say that in your essay when you apply to UT.
SnarKassandra @ 165
It’s dildos, I tell you! DILDOS! That’s the only way this farce can get any weirder, and we still have a few acts left in the play. He’ll beat the terrorism charges, but they’ll arrest him in the courtroom on some weird sex charge and throw him in the slammer for using code-words for dildos.
TexBetsy @ 175
ME! Can I have some with a side of chocolate please?
When she was royally ticked off, my grandmother used to have a saying that was some version of “May the Bluebird of Happiness fly over you and leave its droppings all over your head.”
When I head about Bush, I laughed and thought of Grandma, wondering if she heard about it.
Then I thought of Grandma’s politics.
She’s a dyed-in-the-wool, Nixon-was-framed, got-my-Christmas-card-from-Dubya-on-the-wall-in-the-dining-room Republican.
Then I laughed even harder.
solai @ 162
but now I have a horrible mental image around the words “Cheney released”
thank you!
Frank Probst @ 182
Thanks Frank. NOW look at the conversations you’re starting in my house!
TexBetsy @ 175
Ya mean I have to wait another 5 hours for my slice? WAHHH!!!
CTuttle @ 175
She is going to have to slice that really thin for all of us here.
’sides, now that we’ve established that the erudite Miss Goodling and her fellow barely-educated legal eagles hire all the AUSAs, what does Padilla have to worry about?
burnspbesq @ 180
Remember that UT rejected the Shrub.
burnspbesq @ 180
I don’t want to go to UT. I want to get a scholarship to a private liberal arts college and not a giant university.
I am blessed with a lightning metabolism. Under stress, I lose weight rather than gaining.
Please. Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.
burnspbesq @ 181
Are we talking about Austin? That would probably get you a full ride.
solai @ 172
That’s why I cook my cheesecakes first thing in the morning*. Got to let it cool properly . . . but they never last until the next morning.
*That’s before breakfast but after coffee. Everything is after coffee.)

Actually it was a foo bird.
If the foo shits, wear it.
TRex @ 191
I think I know where the weight you lose goes. Its sitting in my husband’s recliner.
neurophius @ 100
Al Gore totally kicks my ass. Unfortunately, I’m not sure we deserve him.
That’s it…birdsh*t, cheesecake, and dil-zucchinis…Yes, definite signs of snark overdose becoming evident…must sleep it off..
Good nite, everyone.
Joe Klein’s conscience @ 179
It’ll take them two week to figure out what an ethernet cable is, three more to plug it in.. then they’ll just have to convince somebody to explain to them what a blog is, and how it relates to something called an “internet browser”…

Certainly! This should suit all tastes.

That’s my first out loud laugh of the day. Thanks!
Is the bird now an enemy combatant? I think I’ll name it ‘Gitmo.’
SK @ 191: How about Rice? The students are a bit on the conservative side, but it’s a good education at a good price. (Full disclosure: My partner is a prof there.)
Night RonD. Sleep well.

Trying real hard not to! *g*
Good night RonD

TRex @ 166
Does Jane know this?
SnarKassandra @ 190
Right on, Missie, get your feet wet, then choose what you feel comfortable with!!! The L.A. program will force you to spread your wings!!! A small school is a lot less intimidating and more personable than UTA!!! Go Girl!!!
SnarKassandra @ 190
Understandable. I think I might actually prefer to teach well-motivated undergraduates at a private liberal-arts school.
SnarKassandra @ 210
oy…I can barely even remember the 9th grade!
Portrait of an Agonized Speaker
Wipped the poop off with his bare hand, and then, how many hands did he shake.
Felix Moronia @ 200
You know, that may actually be on the books down here. I vaguely recall hearing something along those lines, but I rarely read the local news. (Often to my detriment, I might add. I didn’t know we had a bomb scare on Tuesday until my co-workers told me about it on Wednesday. I really picked the wrong day to sneak out of work early.)
SnarKassandra @ 210
Glad to see a teen who’s NOT all stressed out about what school they’re going to, and whether or not they’ll get in. Take your time!
AZ Matt @ 205
There are so many other good reasons.
TB, I’m allergic to chocolate. Do I still have to wait until tomorrow like those at your house?
Frank Probst @ 218
completely illegal in this county, possibly the whole state
Pat @ 216
Typical. He didn’t even have a handkerchief or a pocket square.
I bet he eats with his hands, too, even at state dinners.
GAWDAMIGHTY, how did we end up with a churlish, ignorant toddler for a president?!
Give the pretzel another chance! Please!
Pat @ 217
Oh, that’s how this story could be better: was Short Ride Joe there to stand up for his BFF George, running up to be the first to congratulate him on a fine press conference?
SnarKassandra @ 210
Plenty of time, then. Keep it in mind, though. It’s a nice little campus. Fair warning, though: If you come to visit, don’t let your cell phone go off in my partner’s class.
Felix Moronia @ 199
Texas is something of a different land, as Molly Ivins set out to document in this work.. I’ve not had the good fortune to find a copy, but it ought to be amusing and astonishing simultaneously.
223 comments in 54 minutes, TRex.
Suzanne @ 221
No, please help yourself to a slice from one of the pies Snarkassandra brought out a while ago. No chocolate at all.
Ok TRex — along with the bird seed that I’ll leave at the WH fence, I’ll also drop off a bag of pretzels…
The Democrats are calling my house right now for money.
The Late Molly Ivins was interveiwed for something called “The Dildo Diaries” re: the Texas lege. IIRC that is the addy of the web site also. funny, funny stuff!
Suzanne @ 227
Yeah, but he had help from
his cousinthe bird.I’m certainly in better spirits than when I got home from work. I think I’ll go take a walk and get some fresh air. Tomorrow’s another day – and I’m going to keep fighting. I’m quite grateful that I have you guys.
Yeah, but he had help from his
cousinthe bird.shhh, Peterr, you know how he gets all sensitive and shit when that side of the family is mentioned.
Zee @ 233
So glad you stopped in. Have a nice walk.

No one can sleep tonight.

I went to one of those small liberal arts schools. In upstate New York. We used to say that, yes, there are four seasons here: winter (which lasts 7 1/2 months), Mud I, Fourth of July Weekend, and Mud II.
Heading home.
See you kids in a bit.

Not great timing, to be sure. And the things they voted for are certainly on my personal wish list (raising the minimum wage, and increased funding for military health care and veterans’ benefits, and help for victims of Hurricane Katrina).
I heard a little bit of Randi Rhodes’ show today. Some woman from New York called to say she wasn’t voting anymore. Randi told her that wasn’t the answer and the woman said “WHATEVAH” and hung up.
Randi is correct. And I will never stop supporting the people I think will be most likely to make America a better, stronger place with more fairness for all.
But yeah… today’s not the best day to come calling for money. Sheesh.
Oh gosh Suzanne, that stinks — no union in place at your department to grieve that?

I second the sentiment.
City’s hands were kinda tied when my orthopedist declared me stable and permanent and unable to return to a patrol position. Rules are rules and I knew that when I took the chance and had the knee replaced.
Ah-nold’s fuckery, on the other hand, was pure fucking evil (spitting).
wonderful post and comments, lots of giggles. Except Suzanne- so sorry- it stinks.
From EJ Dionne in WaPo: LINK
No need to rush the college stuff, Cassie. L’il Plumette started looking at schools in the tenth grade, but did not find the right school until April of her graduating year. She had applied at the recommendation of her counselor, but hadn’t visited. I took her to see the school two weeks before she had to commit. We got out of the car, she looked at the buildings, looked at Pike’s Peak looming over it all and said, “This is it.” And it was. It was the perfect fit for her – small liberal arts college. Colorado College in Colorado Springs.
Suzanne @ 291
They have no decency at all. None!
I was lucky to be able to retire and keep my Kaiser medical insurance. Lost my dental, my vision, my prescription plan, and all the other stuff. Is a reason that I am looking around Oregon and southern Washington – Kaiser has medical facilities in Portland, Salem, and Vancouver, WA.
Night all. Off to bed.
Seems to me that agencies can make things happen, if they want to. Case in point — in my dept. we had a police officer who was deployed during the Gulf War and was badly injured (amputee, legs); when he was recovered as best as possible, they created a permanent investigator position for him.

Could it be that these officials are connected to a movement to resist attack on Iran. If rumors are to be believed, this has previously happened to Gen. Kevin P. Byrnes, in charge of Army training out of Fort Carlisle Barracks in Penn. Some say he caught wind of a Cheney plot to blow up Charleston S.C. during the Katrina mess. Byrnes, involved in a typical “fake” training session (shades of 9/11) in co-ordination with the planned Charleston attack. Byrnes blew the whistle. Now he’s history. The sex w/civilians story is sheer bullshit.
Lets face it, folks. We’re going to hit Iran. The dogs who run this country are purging the armed forces of officers opposed to their plans.
Sure was a nice country… once……
expect the tempo of the war drums is going to rise faster as a result of this article, if it has more than a grain of truth in it.
Cheney must know that he, and Israel, have limited time to achieve their aims before the American public wake up…

Just joined in after another trying day. Life has been turbulent.
And today’s collapse of the dems did not add much to achieving a better mood. I was reading the comments at dKos directed to Rep. Slaughter about why this capitulation went through and I so wanted to tell her to get lost. And she is supposedly one of the good ones. If my ‘fast speed internet’ wasn’t having trouble with the over 500 comment thread, I would have said much more than I should have. Kos is/was trying to say this is a very long term battle to get the corportists out of the dem party and we cannot give up and take our ball and go home, but …
So just the banter here about that ‘good little birdie’ helped just a tad bit. Only laugh I have had today.

Now, for something completely different: What’s on the telly tonight? Hmmm, looks like a zucchini. Watch out it’s about to explode!

Anyone have a bottle of brain bleach handy?
Just made the mistake of reading Brooks’ column in tomorrow’s NYT. Some twaddle about the upward mobility of skeptical Catholics.
Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
In Robert Graves’s Claudius the God, Claudius’s buddy Herod Agrippa’s career is bookended by birdshit. If I remember right, when he’s in prison, an owl shits on Herod, and another prisoner tells him he’ll have good luck until the next time he’s “hit.” As Herod’s about to unveil his army, a bird (an owl again, I think) shits on him again and everything goes to hell.
Hopefully, this sparrow-shit on Bush is some sort of sign from the gods that the jig is up for him. As a symbol for Bush-the-man (born on third base, the failed businesses, Sammy Sosa, his empty governorship and utterly fucked-up presidency), the inconsequential sparrow’s shit seems an apt metaphor. Maybe, despite the Democrats’ bizarre cave-in to this floundering doofus, events are finally starting to close in on him.
I was watching Hitler’s Managers on the History Channel today and thinking about how I’d feel if Bush and Cheney were perp-walked into the Hague. Certainly there would be shame, but I’m already ashamed that my country elected these guys a second time. If we (the US) submitted to such a thing–a war-crimes trial–I think I would ultimately feel pride. Pride that we had submitted, the pride that comes with absolution. Of course, that will never happen, but a guy can dream, even if it only starts with a little sparrow shit.
