Jane!

Don’t do any tapdancing in the men’s room.

Caligula, one of W’s heroes or at least one of his prime role models.

Good evening, Jane.

Going to be great convention. We’ve already started outreach in the airport.

Tap, Tap, Tap…! ;-)

omg, if KBH is telling Larry Craig jokes, the GOP must know they are toast.

Both Matthews and Olbermann came down pretty hard on this; I had to wonder if they aren’t so happy with David Gregory getting Tucker’s hour.

Hiya Jane!

Sing it dubya!

Don’t miss the opening act on TDS tonight.

They’ll be pretending to pick up pieces of toilet paper Repuke flyers under the stall walls…

Oh Gwad! That video! That’s unbelievable!

A little OT, but did Ian predict the Feds $200 Billiion bailout today in last Saturday’s column?

Caligula made his horse a senator. George has the whole Rethugican bunch. Horse probably had more sense.

Don’t know if they are or aren’t but I have no intention of watching. What was MSRNC Thinking?

Geez. Were there jokes about watching out for falling bridges on the way to the convention, too?

talk about having absolutely no soul

I thought Shrub was scared of horses, tho…! ;-)

LOL.

(I wonder if she’ll don her old cheerleading gear, pom poms and twirl for the nice folks.)

LOL again.

It’s the other way around.

hi jane-

yeah, the press clapped, just like people clap for an outgoing losing coach…..

i’m headed for bed, but wanted to post this for the late niters, especially mary mccurnin—i emailed it to her, for her to post, but don’t know if the email was the right one……….

it has to do with a running joke that mary does….everyone does.

when i saw the picture, i laughed and laughed and laughed……….it’s from march 11th, and i think everyone will get the joke from there. too funny.

My Bad! 8-)

…here comes Scooter fineally free of the prosecuter…

He might as well just sung that break what law you want, no prblemo!

it’s the

”iz a pet taxi” one

My gawd, that song is such a giant fuck-you to the American people – it’s pretty damned hard to make me truly, actively angry – but that one does it.

Mother. Fucker. Celebrating his illegailty, and failure to be caught or called on it by a lily-livered Democratic Congress, makes my blood boil.

And all of the good little R’s laugh along, because that’s what they figure they’re supposed to do, being born Republican and without the humor gene and all…

Mother. Fucker.

Iron-clad proof the Spitzer sting was fueled by Repubs within the DOJ:

The news broke on a Monday morning instead of a Fri evening.

Nooo… Not the clown car…!

Yeah, its the bratty, we pulled a fast one on you fools and now we get to go home…suckers..

Big kudos go out to the person who taped that with their cell phone. It was supposed to be “off the record”. Heh heh.

Applauding the decline of the Republic…
It’s not what their fathers taught them, I suppose.

Yeah, its the bratty, we pulled a fast one on you fools and now we get to go home…suckers..

yeah, and how does that make *us* look, being bested by a fucking moron?

watching out for falling bridges on the way to the convention

Perhaps we could play concern trolls and send thousands of emails to GOP folk attending their convention:

WARNING! Do not attempt to travel overland in the Minneapolis area. Due to failing bridges you’re much safer taking a helicopter from the airport to the convention center.

Like fucking morons.

YES!!!!!!!!!! ct!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the clown car!!!!!!!!!!!

i about died! i was reading the top 50 blogs article at the globe site, and there was the cheezeburger site at number 4, and thought, hadn’t been on there in a while, so, i did, and CLOWN CAR!!!!!!\OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!

ROFL right now! wheezing………..

can you make sure to pass that around for a while?
i’m not around as much as you are……..how hilarious, eh?

i wanted to make sure she saw it.

i hafta check out now, up early tomorrow……..
gonna be hard to go to sleep now, i’m laughing so hard.
take care.

A pack of disgusting pigs. Courtiers, knaves and lackeys.

Laughing as the nation spins into the toilet.

did Ian predict the Feds $200 Billiion bailout today in last Saturday’s column?

He predicted an even bigger (500B) bailout of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. That is still to come. Today’s action was a credit bailout which resulted in a crash in the price of Treasury bonds.

Unbelievable. Wouldn’t you think a well-educated and free press would stand up and leave instead of clapping and laughing? Does anyone know who among the press was there? Anyone we know and hate?

Aloha, dmac!

WARNING! Do not attempt to travel overland in the Minneapolis area. Due to failing bridges you’re much safer taking a helicopter from the airport to the convention center. Tickets available in the Airport Mens’ Restrooms…

fixed it, heh, heh…

Laughing as the nation spins into the toilet.

familiar territory.

See Craig, Larry.

This will drive the holier-than-thou ones nuts:Star Tribune

INDIANAPOLIS – The grandson of the late U.S. Rep. Julia Carson won a special election Tuesday night to succeed the Indiana Democrat in Congress.

Democrat Andre Carson had a 4,000-vote lead over Republican Jon Elrod out of nearly 49,000 votes counted. With 73 percent of 445 precincts reporting, Carson had about 53 percent of the vote compared with about 44 percent for Elrod.

Carson becomes one of only two Muslims in Congress. His grandmother, who died in December, was the first black to represent Indianapolis in Congress.

…

*sigh* look to where we have sunk as a nation

“The “fuss” you made over Harriet and Brownie“…

The fuss? The fuss?

What a completely vicious prick. People died in front of our eyes of dehydration…..

Impeach the prick.

This video, that wasn’t ever supposed to get out, reveals everything…

Plus, he’s saying that Cheney is walking away with documents he’s withholding….

Grrrrrrr……..worse than Grrrrrr….

I can’t believe it. I understand how Bush could do it: high-style fuck-you’s are his thing…but how could they sit there and laugh at that? The only appropriate response would have been shocked silence.

is there a transcript of the song yet?

Two words: Good Germans.

We’ve already started outreach in the airport.

And Kay, the RNC Welcoming Committee will be there to meet you, assbites.

It all goes back to cocktail weenies, quail wings, massages with happy endings by Gannyguck, teh fabulous parties and now McCrazy’s fantastic dry ribs.

*sigh* look to where we have sunk as a nation

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that he had a copy of the Constitution with him, and did a mock wiping of his ass with it as part of “the show”.

Tickets available in the Airport Mens’ Restrooms…

Ha!

Group discounts available!

Bush thinks Katrina is funny.

I had to listen to that again to make sure I heard it right.

Motherfucker!

LS, I think you may have hit on it.

Al Franken’s opponent has dropped out. He’ll become a Senator.

…are people talking ’bout that men’s room at Northern Crossing at MSP International Airport? Of the Larry Craig fame? Ha…

‘twould be interesting to have the attendance list for that Gridiron dinner. Just to compare to their writing hereafter…doncha know….

hi foxman!

Hi, Teddy!

Yeah I got some phone photos and audio from the Gridiron but I have a new phone and can’t figure out how to get them off of it.

Oh well, it’s just of Bush telling more lame jokes.

I do believe that’s what she’s talking about.

I like your line better than mine. I’m swiping it if that’s okay.

The fuss over Brownie….The fuss…

Unfuckingbelievable.

500,000 people displaced…

The fuss….

At least 2,000 people dead (we’ll never know)

The fuss…

Don’t worry your fucking beautiful mind W, because you will go down in history as the most disgraceful sadistic president in the history of this nation.

Spit!!

Franken’s primary opponent has dropped out.

Right, right.

ok, here’s where I console and calm myself a little bit. Updated results for the Congressional seat of the late Julia Carson:

Name Votes Vote %
Andre D. Carson (D) 33,267 53.21%
Jon Elrod (R) 27,389 43.81%
Sean Shepard (L) 1,830 2.93%
412 of 445 precincts reporting

Good job Indianapolis! Andre appears to be a good man, and kudos to those in charge for getting the results of this paper-ballot out so quickly.

Good news.

Hey Kirk!

Can you do a long distance diagnosis of Spitzer? (if Frist can do it, you can too…)

Group Cluster discounts available!

That would be his Democratic primary opponent.

He still has to run against Coleman. And he may well win!

And wouldn’t it be great to get Norm (where am I?) Coleman out of there.

Yeah, thanks, I jumped the gun…I hope he rolls over Coleman. I believe he will.

the doctors had to Euthanize the people TOO SICK TO MOVE…the HORROR!

By all means, you’re the Proprietrix! *g*

from Kay Bailey Hutchinson at the event:

Going to be great convention. We’ve already started reach-arounds in the airport.

i shall never forget the night of Katrina,i must have posted 50 times to get gallon plastic milk bottles and fill with water and 6 drops of clorox….those poor poor people,oh im sick again

I know….but it is just “fuss”….

I feel sick.

If Jesse Ventura can be elected Gov., Franken stands an excellent chance…!

I’d be euphoric if Al Franken made it to the Senate. He wrote a book called “Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot”. How can you not love that?

I’m not sure if “making decisions by phallus” has a diagnostic category….

GD Pelosi….impeach these insane sociopaths

Franken is a very, very smart man.

Yeah, thanks, I jumped the gun…I hope he rolls over Coleman. I believe he will.

Well if nothing else, I hope that there are debates. Those should be pay-per-view… heh.

I’m not sure if “making decisions by phallus” has a diagnostic category….

Uhhh… Wouldn’t it be categorized as being Male…? *g*

I’m disgusted. Utterly disgusted. Impunity meets the State News Agency.

I’m not sure if “making decisions by phallus” has a diagnostic category….

I think that’s called “male”

I stopped in at bathroom on way to Paris–and also on my way back. There were quite a few tourists in there already…The Rethugs will have their hands full–so to speak–in August…

I stopped in there just to piss…*g*

Remember when Pelosi said something to the effect that we didn’t know the half of it? I’ve seen all I can stomach. These motherf*ckers are a disgrace to humanity. Enablers like Pelosi are almost as bad.

You owe me a Coke…! ;-)

think that’s called “male”

I beg your pardon. I haven’t thought about sex in….oh – never mind.

I was thinking more along the line of Ian’s Bonus prediction number 14), the Fed taking over the paper of bad mortgages.

i’m already pissed off and this just breaks my heart.

No Coke, Pepsi.

And I was chastised for wanting revenge on these sonsabitches. NOT.
I want serious,get it while it’s hot, revenge for what they have done and sit there and laugh about.Fuck that kumbaya shit.
Come on November.

That’ll work! *g*

I still get a kick outta your handle…especially given the topic at hand (so to speak)..

not sure if “making decisions by phallus” has a diagnostic category….

well then, obviously the medical community is going to have to define that category in order to understand the actions of the Cheney/Bush administration.

i shall never fotget the HIDEOUS TORTURE that was Katrina,dying of thirst,old people,babies

I like Robin Williams take on it … “why did god give man both a brain and a p***s, but only enough blood to run one of them at a time?” … or something along those lines

Bush: I mean the Euphrates river is so filled with blood…

Media stooges: How filled is it…..

Nothing but contempt.

-G

they think they got the world by the short curlies

I think W thinks We the People are just a bunch of whiney jerks making a big fuss over nothing.

That man is completely deranged. He is Sociopathic or something. He has no feelings or conscience at all. This video is proof.

The Piper is a Madman!!!

Dubya can’t pronounce Yoo-fraytees less’n they spell it like ‘at.

yes i do,he mocks the UNFORTUNATE

This is just my own opinion, and I don’t like it, but I think come November the press and the Democratic leadership will push hard for “national unity”. And I don’t think electing Obama, Clinton, Edwards, Richardson, Dodd, Kucinich or any of them would have made a difference. We may get a few trials of some low level operatives, but that’s about it.

…while Rome burns…

i shall never fotget the HIDEOUS TORTURE that was Katrina,dying of thirst,old people,babies

Well you’re obviously not ready to run for president as a Republican.

And I apologize ahead of time – it’s not a joking matter – just reality.

Big mistake in the long run.

you know everybody in that room,has no financial worries

When I saw this I thought at first whats new, and still there was a slow burn that started as I thought of the media lap dogs cheering this on. I had hope this gang would have been rounded up, but no they dance and joke about the destruction and misery they spread around they world.

We may get a few trials of some low level operatives, but that’s about it.

I applaud your optimism…

i went thru Andrew and,Rita…IT DID NOT HYAVE TO BE that way

The writing has been on the wall for a long while. It sickens me too, but I think you are correct. Unity and moving on will be the course of the day.

hey argo – nice to see you again – how ya doing?

OT, but does anyone here know whether Rick Noriega has a legitimate shot at knocking off the execrable John Cornyn in November?

don’t forget looking forward, not backward

and ASSCROFT will walk away with A COOL 50 MILLION in a NO BID CONTRACT for his troubles…peeps

Good I had to take a break for things political, for things historical good to read you all.

Thanks much. Line swiped.

My dog has the loudest stomach tonight, I’m gonna have a hard time sleeping with all that noise (even post-pepto).

in fact truth be told ive gone thru20 hurricanes in my lifetime…never anything like WANTON neglect

can she have a piece of white toast?

Give’em an ear scratch or two, for me! 8-)

token snores and makes a plop noise that sounds just like a faucet dripping.

i did not know there was puppy-pepto.

Yeah, and then joking about it…just like the WMD story…behind closed doors when he’s with “his base”, he’s one big mofo, that is for sure.

Evil, evil, evil.

Throw out beach balls to a gaggle of the MSM press corps and watch them balance them on their noses. This is one group of seals that are deserving of being skinned.

can you even imagine the terror they wer going through ,i can…was once in a hurricane in the middle of the ocean…it didnt turn out too good,but at least we made it

in fact truth be told ive gone thru20 hurricanes in my lifetime…never anything like WANTON neglect

I was gonna suggest a different adjective – then I checked and looked up “wanton” – you got it right…

hey the hookers Spitz scored were much underpaid by this crowds standards…they are payed millions to service repukes

With a government like this there is no event un-planned for, no law un-bent or broken. No special interest un-served.

Pups, please go here and leave your comments about Issa voting in favor of torture if you can.

I’m working with Hamilton to defeat Issa.

Yes, to some degree…I was in a flood and was evacuated by the fire department…the most terrifying event of my life…the desperation you feel about how high up can you climb to escape the water is….indescribable…but why make a “fuss” about it….

Sadist.

Yeah, and then joking about it…

Well, of course he is. Hell, I would be too, if I’d gotten away with punking the entire country for 7 years…

Remember this : if a Democrat (i.e., someone they’re not afraid of) takes office the MSM will be falling all over themselves to prove how brave and unintimidated they are, and we will see an exaggerated version of what the MSM should have been doing for the last 6 years.
It’ll be ok, though, since they’ll be targeting a Democratic President.

all we can do….is DEMAND CHANGE!!!!!

Exactly, they aspire to nothing more that celebrityhood, access and wealth. Hookers are more honest and have more integrity than the slimeballs in the press.

Ooops, forgot…./s

George Bush is ill. How can he possibly persuade seemingly sane people to laugh at these tragedies?

beach balls to a gaggle of the MSM press corps and watch them balance them on their noses.

Then they flap their flippers together and make that ORT ORT ORT sound. They are so pleased with themselves.

Uhhh… Wouldn’t it be categorized as being Male…? *g*

AirportCat

I think that’s called “male”

Sorry colleagues – forgot to put on my thinking cap.

Hey – get a load of this funny pocket on top…

Throw them some little fish, and they’ll do anything.

I for one shall keep my eyes on the criminals in charge,not the,HORNEY HUSBANDS

We knew!

You’ve got that right. The press serves corporate interests and when anyone or anything threatens those interests their lap dogs and low lifes will do what is expected of them. Americans actually believe they have a free press. Another of many myths that sustain this sham democracy.

from Kay Bailey Hutchinson at the event:

Going to be great convention. We’ve already started reach-arounds in the airport.

I just thought of a good campaign “outreach” tool. Bit’s of TP left of the floor that say “don’t pick this up, Republican in next stall”.

persuade
BIRDS of a feather
these people are similarly inclined
sad that

They are so pleased with themselves.

They were well-paid for a job which they quite successfully pulled off – why not celebrate?

I’m in favor of continuing to push the Congress onwards with more investigations after November, but I think it’s going to be really really hard.

Excerpt from an e-mail received from Obama tonight:

“Between those two states, we picked up enough delegates to erase the gains by Senator Clinton last Tuesday and add to our substantial lead in earned delegates. And in doing so we showed the strength and breadth of this movement.

But just turn on the news and you’ll see that Senator Clinton continues to run an expensive, negative campaign against us. Each day her campaign launches a new set of desperate attacks.

They’re not just attacking me; they’re attacking you.

Over the weekend, an aide to Senator Clinton attempted to diminish the overwhelming number of contests we’ve won by referring to places we’ve prevailed as “boutique” states and our supporters as the “latte-sipping crowd.”

I’m not sure how those terms apply to Mississippi and Wyoming — or Virginia, Iowa, Louisiana, or Idaho for that matter.

I know that our victories in all of these states demonstrate a rejection of this kind of petty, divisive campaigning.

But the fact remains that Senator Clinton’s campaign will continue to attack us using the same old Washington playbook. And now that John McCain is the Republican nominee, we are forced to campaign on two fronts.”

That’s not a bad idea. What would happen if all media outlets that have people covering the WH were to receive thousands of raw fish with the instructions they are for the trained seals. Think it would make the papers?

as they said in the holocaust
NEVER FORGET ,,,,what they did..,………….and what they NEGLECTED to do….pet food?…..beef recall etc

Oh, just in case anyone here is interested in reading the Mukasey Letter to Nancy Pelosi you can read it here: Mike to Nancy: Go F Yourself!!

i shall never fotget the HIDEOUS TORTURE that was Katrina,dying of thirst,old people,babies

What’s even worse than Bush writing this piece of drivel (actually it had to be his script-writers) was the WH press-corpse laughing at the utter malevolence and hate- to the US Attorney and the Jury that convicted Scooter Libby, to the people who were killed or made homeless from Katrina, to the emasculation of our Constitution.

i love this guy,with the young wife and children he adores,that is not jaded by DC…. he is hope for a better future…imo

i have always liked and respected her

Trying to hunt one up right now…

Of course the article is in a foreign paper. Can’t report that in the U.S. the land of milk and honey. Must keep the illusion up that the U.S. of A. is always numero uno.

No, he clearly believes it…that’s why he thinks it is funny….he believes what he says. He is the guy that everyone wants to believe is really somebody else.

Great News Al Fraken won by default!!!!!! Yeah
THE TRUTH

The political back lash has is already well under way.
The repukes are retiring and hiding in record numbers, the ones that aren’t retiring voluntarily are being forced by getting their asses kicked in the elections and there’s more where that came from.
It’s the skating on the criminality that frosts my balls.

frankin still has to face coleman in the general, bigbrother.

I was thinking more about Nero fiddling while his city burned. I’ll bet his scribes clapped politely, too. Certainly a lot to fiddle about: As the mother of all meltdowns looms, Fed bails out banks, while homeowners cash out 401k accounts. Nothing better illustrates the brutal economic asymmetry of the Bush years than today’s headlines. Homeowners who can’t make their payments either walk away from their homes or throw good money after bad in an attempt to hold on, mortgaging their futures to save their mortgages. In contrast, banks that can’t raise capital can now borrow $200 billion from the Fed, unloading their bad debt on the Fed as collateral.

frankin still has to face coleman in the general, bigbrother.

Debates!! I want nationally televised debates!

(or am I showing a bit of a sadistic side?)

You’re clever!

The next administration has to hold them responsible. If they are made to pay for their crimes they will be out of power for a generation or more. If the next administration allows them to skate then they will be back in one election cycle more craven and depraved than anyone thought possible. Certainly not the “free” press.

I’m still too pissed for words but cake is another matter altogether

I would think that Rick would attract a lot of the Tejano vote, and it’s been pointed out by the Survey USA Electoral Comparison that Obama puts Texas in the competitive mix. Obama and McCain are practically tied there (as of 3/6/08) 46%-47%. Clinton is 42% to McCain’s 49% as I recall. In this case Obama helps Noriega and vice-versa in terms of turnout, as well. Clinton would draw the same base as Rick. But if Rick can get a ton of African-Americans and younger voters out, it would help.

Yes!
Mmm. Thank you.

Thanks Loo Hoo, but when you are really angry the mind races.

Dayem, I needed that.

Exactly! There needs to be legislation that prevents members of the press from socializing with the people they are supposed to be covering. I’m hoping the new administration will cut off all access to the most egregious sychophants thereby ending their miserable and failed careers as “journalists.”

New post, if anyone is interested: Items that caught my eye today

Even this reader can see the BS in that letter. Why did Mukasey put himself in this position? What’s in it for him. There must be something because he’s going down in history as worse than Gonzales.

Kinda thought it sounded familiar.

Interesting analogy.

the uk guy who had been corresponding with judy miller, david something. found dead after talking a walk. dayam, i wish i could remember more details.

No, here’s what we needed.

David Kelly.

-G

ALRIGHT, JAYT!

thank you.

Greg had it at 175, no?

That was a perfect analogy. They clap and laugh and back slap because they are basically cowards that are hypnotized by the bright lights and the celebrity.

Maybe it’s the Thai Green Curry that I had for dinner but I just had a sickening thought. Could it be that Seigelman and Spitzer are just the warm up for what they have planned for the Dem Presidential nominee? With Spitzer, it appears that the IRS, FBI and DOJ are now just political arms of the Bush WH. Why not..they have nothing to loose and McCain will be the Bush third term.

According to the BBC there may be evidence that the death is a suicide. Notes to his family were found on his body. It’s been broached that he felt he was “burned” in the rendition investigation…either by knowingly giving erroneous evidence, or by being led down the paisley-pasture to be the public face of government lies.

“Prisoner was forgotten in cell for 4 days
Woman had no food, water or access to a toilet at Arkansas jail”

Actually a suspected illegal immigrant, dubiously jailed by a rethug judge pending her deportation hearing.

Her plight rather aptly sympolizes the state of our country.

Sings better than he talks or thinks.

Loo Hoo,

There are two stories here. One is recent, a UK policeman who just turned up dead, after looking into CIA….

Dr. David Kelly was way back in 20003 I think.

-G

i just published that in the news box

2nd British official to die under mysterious circumstances. When will the loose ends begin to be tied up in the States. With a Republiclan DOJ I fear the Dems don’t see the freight train that’s coming down the tracks.

shit with all the crap heaving during this primary, who needs the damn IRS, FBI OR DOJ to do anything?

it appears that the IRS, FBI and DOJ are now just political arms of the Bush WH.

Appears? Again, I applaud your optimism.

I also saw that News Story about 1 in 4 Teenage girls carrying a communicable sexual disease. Wow! This is VERY serious, as these girls will make up a pool of more sexually active adults…so it’s only bound to increase. People don’t realize that, left untreated, chlamydia and these other diseases will result in sterility and other major health problems.

Clearly we aren’t doing things right in terms of sex-education if this has reached this point. The fact that there is so much resistance to the HPV-vaccine is just one indicator of the sense of denial that exists in the parent generation about the behavior of their children. I wonder how many realize that many kids don’t think oral sex is dangerous, and know next to nothing about STD’s other than HIV?

Bushco says every little bit helps. Did Larry Craig’s airport restroom liason spur the media to poll audiences as to whether or not Craig’s wife should stay with him? Extra! did it to Spitzer in their opening segment.

95% Reporting
from Group News Blog by Hubris Sonic

Obama 234,594 60% 17
Clinton 148,673 38% 11

The voters were 58% female, and only 29% were over 60 years old. I think, if Obama does better than 59% he gets some bonus delegates or something.

Good point. I’m still worried that Obama hasn’t been fully scrutinized. It’s going to take cooperation from democrats in congress who will be willing to take a fall if this happens. Just like it’s going to take work from Schumer if the Spitzer situation is going to be cleaned up from a banking perspective.

cinn —

Neither Cassie nor Texteen had any idea what STD’s were out there or how they are spread. Just knew that sex can spread AIDS if you don’t use a condom. School never mentioned a thing about oral sex.

i read he has to hit 62% for the bonus (but i may have read wrong)

20003 was a long time ago. I mean in the future!! I like the way you think ahead, GregB.

I just saw an ad slamming Nancy Pelosi for not letting Congress vote on the “Terror Surveillance Bill.” It claimed that 25 state attorneys general–”Democrat and Republican”–say the bill is needed for public safety.

Coleman’s a gonner…September, October, I’ll be campaigning for Franken, answering phones, calling that sorta thing….

Clearly we aren’t doing things right in terms of sex-education if this has reached this point.

The fundies think a woman deserves to die of cervical cancer because sex is bad. My ex was a pathologist at a childrens’s hospital…even ten years ago she couldn’t believe how bad the pap smears taken for teenage girls looked. Girls in mid-teens had pre-cancer changes. And the religious wackos are trying to discourage use of the HPV vaccine.

Yes, but as someone else mentioned, what the hell do state attorney generals know about super secret info?

thanks for the link, Rob

Apparently we are now “dumping” our homeless and those with mental handicaps in Mexico.

Mentally Disabled Man Wrongfully Deported to Mexico

Apparently this poor fellow was pulled in by immigration and deported without actually checking to see if he was a US Citizen. His family was looking for him, and even reported his disappearance, and the authorities denied knowledge of his whereabouts. He had been in a detention center, though! Then trucked across the border.

He ended up wandered hundreds of miles south before making his way up to Juarez where somebody noticed this “non-Spanish speaking” homeless Americano wandering around without money or proper identification. Someone eventually found his family.

That article is from last June.

Coleman’s a gonner

Totally worthless fact: Coleman, Schumer, Sanders and Howie Klein all went to the same Brooklyn High School.

thanks for the follow up

Cool! Maybe you can wear his “One man mobile uplink” gear:

Sleep well, all. The best of all possible tomorrows to you all.
Goodnight.

I only learned about Chlamydia when I was a graduate student in college in the early 1980’s…the hard way. That was back in the days before the AIDS crisis had reached the level of information of today. Fortunately I was fairly monogamous and when I became symptomatic got treatment…and told my partner. She had NO idea since only guys get the obvious effects. She got treatment (antibiotics) as well. I saw her a few years later and we discussed in very hushed tones the “incident”. She had two darling daughters and she thanked me for not simply walking away from it all.

Final report on the run-off for Julia Carson’s seat:

Name Votes Vote %
Andre D. Carson (D) 45,598 54.04%
Jon Elrod (R) 36,322 43.04%
Sean Shepard (L) 2,419 2.87%
445 of 445 precincts reporting

Elrod still refusing to concede – *s*

good win, big win, and if GregB is still here, he saw right up front the blatant horrible racism still existing here (and his comment to the IndyStar was an instant classic).

Again, kudos the those in charge in Indianapolis, because this was a paper ballot, and they got the full results out quickly.

Good night, if I just ignore the Georgie song…

Al Franken’s Senate Opponent Drops Out

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 1:13 PM

Al Franken’s main competition for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate dropped out Monday, giving the comedian-turned-candidate a major boost.

Franken and lawyer Mike Ciresi were vying for the party’s endorsement to take on Republican Sen. Norm Coleman in November. Coleman is seeking a second term.

Franken has raised millions more in campaign funds and lined up most of the important union endorsements, but Ciresi’s impressive resume as a trial attorney and personal wealth positioned him as a potential spoiler to Franken’s ambition.

Ciresi’s statement that he was dropping out indicated he didn’t think he could catch up to Franken’s lead in rounding up the support of Democratic delegates, who will confer their endorsement at the state party convention in June. Both Franken and Ciresi vowed not to run in the primary election without the party endorsement.

“In my judgment, continuing the endorsement race would only lead to an unnecessary floor fight. It is time to step aside,” Ciresi’s statement said.

Franken issued a statement, praising Ciresi for a “well-fought campaign,” citing his “passion for social justice, his command of the issues facing our nation, and his devotion to the people of Minnesota…”

Franken said he looked forward to working with Ciresi to make sure the party wins the seat.

In his statement, Ciresi didn’t endorse Franken or the other major candidate, college professor and peace activist Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer.

Franken won’t have to contend with Ciresi tapping into his own deep pockets to sway Democratic delegates. Ciresi recently loaned his own campaign $2 million, and he and campaign surrogates were growing more vocal about Franken’s history of off-color jokes _ arguing that Coleman and Republicans would be able to use them against Franken in the general election.

Nelson-Pallmeyer has also shown strength at local party meetings, and on Friday his campaign claimed it was ahead of Ciresi in securing commitments from Democratic delegates. Nelson-Pallmeyer has also vowed to abide by the party’s convention endorsement.

“This sets up a clear contrast between me and Al Franken, and that helps my campaign,” Nelson-Pallmeyer said, predicting that most Ciresi supporters would gravitate his way.

Ciresi is best known as the chief litigator in the state of Minnesota’s successful 1998 lawsuit against big tobacco, one of numerous multimillion-dollar settlements and awards under his belt.

All those doggies getting to Nome in a few hours….

I wish people would stop pissing on Caligula. Remember, most of the reports we have about him were from senatorial class Romans and their toad eating historians. They were pissed because the emperor was impinging on their upper class privileges. The commoners and equestrians had a slightly different take on things, as did the slaves. (The senatorials hated Nero too, and he was the one who gave slaves the right to sue their masters in court. You can feel the love.)

Besides, Caligula was much smarter than Bush. When we invaded Iraq, I figured Bush would do the Caligula invades England thing. Rig up some fake weapons of mass destruction, maybe an old washing machine (which actually could destroy a lot of clothes). Then, shoot of a whole lot ordinance into the Shatt al Arab, declare victory and come home. Hey, it worked for Caligula. He got his victory over Neptune parade, and his legions weren’t bogged down in some god forsaken fen for all eternity.

One of the things I hate about Bush is that I often find myself putting in a few good words for monsters like Caligula and Hitler. Try watching The Great Escape and not thinking about our stalag in Guantanamo. It really sucks.
