Good morning!

Good morning Christy!

They’re handing out free Kristol meth on the WaPo editorial page this morning.

Couldn’t we use other military and intelligence capabilities to put more stress on the regime? As Sen. Joseph Lieberman has suggested, “The junta has tried to cut off the ability of peaceful demonstrators to communicate to the outside world through the Internet and cellphone networks; we should be examining how the junta’s ability to command and control its forces throughout the country might itself be disrupted.” What about limited military actions, overt or covert, against the regime’s infrastructure — its military headquarters, its intelligence apparatus, its rulers’ lavish palaces? Couldn’t such actions have a deterrent effect, or might not they help open up fissures in the regime? Have we really done all we can to avert the disaster that is unfolding?

Quick: Are Billy K. and Joey L. talking about Iran, Burma, Venezuela or China?

Good morning Christy!

I assumed it was a baby swallow, too. A cutie!

And I’ll go so far as to suggest a bank swallow, but could be an immature tree swallow according to this reference

land on WJ- staggering. Just staggering! Man spews lies, distortions and bullshit. Who wants to bet that the talking point du jour will be the death of the rep from cancer. Dems should have waited to politicize the loss. Short and simple- Why?

hey Christie– it looks like a bank swallow to me– they have very clear bands around the chest which extends a little down the middle of the chest, which is a perfect match for this bird.

It’s not a baby, but it’s probably a first-year fledgling.

What’s catching your eye in the news and on the blogs this morning?

must read analysis from cinnamonape in the comments of previous thread.

General Betrayus is back claiming that the Iranians are supplying the parts for the EFP’s…..

Good Morning everyone!

What a cutie! Too bad no one delivers breakfast. You have pizza, hoagies, chineese, sushi but no pancakes brought to your door. It’s tragic I say.

Japan may cut support of Afghan mission

Japan would scale back its support of the U.S. in Afghanistan by ending naval assistance to vessels involved in ground missions there under a ruling party proposal that officials predicted Sunday would gain parliament’s approval.

Since 2001, Japan’s navy has been providing fuel for coalition warships under an anti-terrorism law that has been extended three times. Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda has strongly pushed for another extension to the mission, which expires on Nov. 1.

As I was typing I said the same thing. All though not for me, I’m Mr Groggyhead in the morning.

From a NYT article on the doubts of the religious right regarding 2008. No bias in this article:

“Now they fear they may have lapsed unwittingly into the same role that African-Americans play in the Democratic Party: a dependable minority constituency that is courted by candidates but never really gets to call the shots.”

Embattled Idaho senator Super Tuber honored in state

Idaho – Sen. Larry Craig has been chosen for induction into the Idaho Hall of Fame, despite his well-publicized arrest and guilty plea in an airport sex sting, officials said.

The nonprofit Idaho Hall of Fame Association picked Craig in March, months before he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after a Minneapolis airport police officer accused him of soliciting sex in the men’s restroom, the organization’s board chairman said.

“Larry Craig has made a great contribution to Idaho over the period of 20-some years. At the time it was considered, this other matter had not come up,” Harry Magnuson told The Spokesman-Review newspaper Saturday…

What does George Bush pray for?

He claims to be a religious man, so in the privacy of his prayers–where guile, dissembling and spin are no use–what does he communicate to the Almighty?

Does he ask for the death of his enemies?

Does he pray for lower taxes?

Does he pray for the success of torture, suspension of habeas corpus, and unequal justice?

Does he pray for forgiveness?

Just wondering what folks think….

“Taps” be a good theme song for Larry Craig, honoring the end of another of Bush’s fallen political rubber stamper’s.

Time’s blog links to this powerful story (in Vanity Fair) of an American soldier’s reason to fight and subsequently die in Iraq, as told by Hitchens. Worth the read.

C’mon albert, he doesn’t really pray. That religious stuff is just a front. He’s just like Ralph Reed, it’s just a political game.

Sorry if this was linked to before:

Republicans rule radio but Democrats fight back

…Having failed to find commentators who can draw the millions-strong audiences of conservative radio stars like Rush Limbaugh or Bill O’Reilly, liberals have turned to political blogs and Web sites to respond to airwave attacks.

“We (conservatives) have continued to rely on talk radio for information while liberals have gone out and developed these great blogs like Daily Kos and Huffington Post which is kind of like their talk radio,” said Robert Bluey, director of the center for media and public policy at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank.

Democrats are targeting both Limbaugh and O’Reilly, charging the right-leaning radio hosts have crossed the line with recent comments about anti-war soldiers and blacks…

I like this quote from that article, Hope!

COORDINATION AND STRATEGY

“A lot more Democratic congressmen are able to respond,” Bluey said. “They seem to have the talking points that they just didn’t have in the past. The coordination and strategy has definitely improved.”

cheney house on CBS now

I think that maybe the leaders in the dem party have some palpable fears that if they make waves they will seriously suffer… maybe even physically, if not be the subject of enormous media put downs and embarrassments.

I wonder if Paul Wellstone’s death was just an accident. And even if it WAS, suppose someone hinted that it may not have been. That would scare the pants off anyone who if thought there was a 1 in a thousand chance there was hanky panky. Or that the real truth behind JFK or 9.11 cannot be revealed. Wouldn’t that change people’s behavior?

Look at the taser incident, the women in Pheonix airport who died… the repression at the RNC… I sense that people are scared and even pols may be and afraid to admit it for fear of being ridiculed and paranoid.

Who was behind the anthrax attacks on all the dems?

Freakin Tim Russert! He finally has Edwards on his show but after his interview with him, when they have their usual roundtable discussion, Russert NEVER talks about Edwards. You guessed it, Russert focused totally on Hiliary, even though David Broder (of all people) and Ted Koppel both said that the poll numbers mean nothing and that Dems haven’t really decided yet on a candidate. I really loathe Tim Russert’s brand of “journalism”.

Russert grilled Edwards on campaign donations, talking about how Hiliary & Obama raised more than Edwards, yada, yada, yada. You know, the usual beltway topic. Edwards said something to the effect…This is an election not an auction. LOL I laughed my head off on that one. I’m going to have to look at the transcript but I thought it was a great line.

I’m glad that Edwards has been appearing more on national TV lately. I think it will do him a world of good to be seen and heard nationally.

Memo to David Broder:

as you have of mating with Ani DiFranco.

Never mind, I answered my own question, she is not related to Hilda Solis.

Huckabee said the senate had better things to do than condemn a talk show host

But the senate did not have better things to do than condemn a newspaper ad

“If you can’t get your lips off the backside of George Soros long enough to use those lips to say it’s wrong to declare a sitting general … guilty of treason, how would you ever expect to have the support of the very military you might have to send into deadly battle?” Huckabee told the Times

and they say Huckabee is the rightwinger who is not angry

Pelosi Says She Was Never Briefed ‘About The Secret Memos’ Authorizing CIA Torture

On MSNBC this morning, they’re talking about Obama not wearing a flag pin. The reich winger of course is saying that by not wearing a flag pin or flying the flag that means you are not patriotic.

Can we have a national day of flag burning in this country someday soon to prove to the wingers that burning the flag will not tear our nation down? To them, the flag is living and breathing. They’re sick. Burning the flag would be no different than smashing the “E” sign out in front of Enron. You got your message across and Enron still goes on! Jees.

An article on Torture and War Crimes.

There is no doubt – no doubt at all – that these tactics are torture and subject to prosecution as war crimes. We know this because the law is very clear when you don’t have war criminals like AEI’s John Yoo rewriting it to give one man unchecked power. We know this because the very same techniques – hypothermia, long-time standing, beating – and even the very same term “enhanced interrogation techniques” – “verschaerfte Vernehmung” in the original German – were once prosecuted by American forces as war crimes. The perpetrators were the Gestapo. The penalty was death. You can verify the history here.

Pelosi said she doesn’t think there should be primary challenges against her and her fellow DINOs.

She said the Dems don’t have the votes to overcome the procedural hurdles (she didn’t mention the terms “veto” or “filibuster”).

She said the new people wouldn’t vote any differently than the DINOs currently in office.

Every time I see Sensenbrenner I immediately think of my younger brother’s 2nd grade teacher…a woman. The physical & personality resemblence is striking, heh. She was mean as hell too.
Who could forget the nasty old fart cutting off mics & walking off gleefully with the gavel when he headed a hearing the dems wanted. Outrageous performance. Typical republican behavior.

I gotta love it. None in the leadership, and rank and file of my party (Dem Reps. and Senators) was ever briefed about anything over the last seven years.

the reason i asked about the senate being in recess next week, is that i can only find field hearings for the senate committees next week (i’m putting together the list for next week). for example, is lieberman going to be visiting ET?

I’m glad that Edwards has been appearing more on national TV lately. I think it will do him a world of good to be seen and heard nationally.

I looked at the polling information they gave and was simply astounded to hear that anybody thought Hillary was the ‘best leader’ or ‘more electable’ than the other Dem presidential candidates.

What planet are those people coming from?

Do campaigns just out and out buy the polling companies?

Does the public not know Hillary except as first lady in pink?

Things are seriously out of whack if they truly believe those things about Hillary.

John Edwards is being described as phony for the haircut, for his ‘poverty’ policies while being rich, for working for a hedge fund and various other superficial things.

Is superficiality REALLY all the public hears about or cares about?

I find that hard to believe, so what is to be made of the constant attention the media gives HRC or the polling?

John Edwards IS the real deal, not phony. He’s worked for poor people, fighting corporations, his whole career! He made his money helping people.

All the candidates live in nice homes. Ask Hillary and Obama how much their homes cost?

I sure hope Iowans have better sense than the national polls indicate.

One other thing: Bill Richardson slammed Edwards by saying the ‘top 3′ don’t really want to leave Iraq. Fortunately, Edwards straightened that out on MtP by explaining that he would remove all combat troops from Iraq except those needed to guard the embassy.

What is the matter with Richardson? Was he misinformed? Why would he try to trash Edwards that way? I thought he was one of the good guy?

Edwards wants to leave Iraq. He made that plain; Hillary…not so much.
