Suz!

hey ct

Suz!

I let’em know you were making whoopie…!

Rickie Lee Jones…that voice is so familiar somehow :)

you were so excited about it, ct, you didn’t include the link. (laughing) i did a link

hey newton the user

eg, i love voice but it was her dancing around that drew me to this video… such joy

Hmmph… so excited, eh Suz? 8-P

i don’t think there is a little blue pill for forgetting to link ct (ducking)

Digg!

BTW, Suz, any chance of that bar coming back that alerted us to a new post…?

thanks neuro

tech crew knows how we want it back and will, hopefully, have that fixed soon.

the bar went belly-up?

it belly-flopped and is still in recovery

Kewl! The Tech Crew rocks!

Wonder if Bush and Laura gave up makin’ whoopee for the mothers of the troops that were sacrificed for his war, too?

After all…he gave up Riding Bikes, Playing cricket, Using Segways (and playing tennis),, and batting in cricket.

Such idle amusements are not to be done in a time of war…after all, aren’t all military men and White House staff banned from golf courses. It’s only fair that they make an equal sacrifice to the lost lives of these young men and women that died in Iraq and Afghanistan. An “equal sacrifice” to the President, that is!

Actually that last link was “Bush Bowling In Islamabad”…

*using copious amounts of brain bleach*

I noticed the largest market in Iraq was the center of a firefight, according to the article in the newsbox… I posted today about more violence in Sadr City, despite a ceasefire just having been inked between Maliki and Al Sadr… And this little wakeup call…

A surface-to-air missile was fired on Saturday at an American Apache helicopter flying over the Sadr City section of Baghdad, American military officials said on Monday.

Didn’t you get the memo?

A surface-to-air missile was fired on Saturday at an American Apache helicopter flying over the Sadr City section of Baghdad, American military officials said on Monday.

They can’t beat the shit out of the place - that’s our job.

… and a series of blasts hit an Indian city … Link … the last time this happened, we almost had a War between India & Pakistan, who’s suspected or harboring the terrorists that staged the attack.

Both these nations have nuclear weapons.

didja see this one ct?

COLORADO SPRINGS, May 13 — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates implored the U.S. military Tuesday to prepare more for fighting future wars against insurgents and militias such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan, rather than spending so much time and money preparing for conventional conflicts.

I swear… ain’t that the truth! But, Maliki has now launched Operation Lion’s Roar up in Mosul, going after the Sunnis now!

I shook my head at that! If we just leave… Head meet Desk…! 8-(

Then someone at our State Department is happy at the prospect of Maliki punishing ALL the people.
“Equal justice…”

OMG, Suz! That. was. something!

It is very worrisome and given Pakistan’s tenuous situation to begin with…! BTW, Aloha, Dood! 8-)

Loved the video, Suzanne. I was kinda lookin’ for Katymine or AZMatt or some of the other AZ folks, but since they’re not here, I guess it falls to me to update y’all on what’s going on with Sheriff Joe. Seems his people stopped the Mayor of Guadalupe for a broken tail light (and driving while Hispanic, and some other minor infractions) the other day. It’s been an escalating point of contention how the Sheriff has decided to use his deputies, and how the deputies are the equivalent of terrorists in the Hispanic communities. He’s doing this at the expense of enforcing all the other laws. Anyway, the upshot is that apparently the Mayor was a bridge too far for the Governor, so she cut off approx. $1M of his funds, and by Executive Order, she’s formed a task force with that money in order to pursue about 40K of outstanding warrants for actual crimes. Should be an interesting next few days, as the Sheriff is already being very vocal with his objections. I’m sure this whole thing will do the news industry a lot of good!

((( CT )))

Darth is gleefully rubbing his bloody hands…!

if only she would call nancy and let her know how easy it was to cut off $1M of his funds.

i wanna see the entire executive office defunded until they comply with all congressional records requests.

I so love that clip. Had to play it again for ‘ol time’s sake. It really still works just fine for 2008.

from making whoopie to had enough

That would be good form, wouldn’t it?

i saw the words whoopie, shrub and laura and decided to skip ahaead.

That’s a great idea. The department of defense doesn’t need to concern themselves with defending the USA. Very clever. It’ll trick everyone.

Amen! Janet’s quite a girl. But you shoulda seen Joe! “Huff, puff, I’ve got news for the Governor! She took my funds! Hrumph! Hrumph!” I had to laugh.

i read it before i could stop myself - hence the application of copious amounts of brain bleach

i wanna see george try to tap dance around while whining ’she took my funds’!

Where?

Maricopa County Sheriff in Arizona!

*eyes rolling*

after all, who cares about the regular people

you have my deepest condolences

Home of the tent city prisons and, heaven forbid, pink undies….

and one pissed off governor

I’d love it. Just as good, I’d love to see Georgie if they throw Josh Bolten and Karl Rove and maybe Harriet Myers in jail on an inherent contempt charge!

That would be a pleasant surprise … Conyers & Co. seem as incapable as when they were in the minority …

i want george to have hell at home - no money to buy hot dogs with unless he dips into his own wallet.

Apparently 3 times more voters participated in the WV Democratic Primary that the Republican version today. That was even with a very small number of under-30 voters coming out. Once again McCain received only about 75% of the Republican votes, with a significant 25% going to dissidents, and a heck of a lot more voting in the Democratic race.

Someone mentioned that about 25% of Hillary’s supporters will vote for McCain. But if even half of her support actually votes for Obama (and the rest sitting it out) then he will win handily.

Sheriff of Maricopa County has taken it upon himself to cooperate with ICE to do their job of enforcement of border controls and immigration infringements instead of doing the normal stuff that Sheriffs are supposed to do. We had some discussions here a few days ago about this subject, but this just came out in the news tonight.

I asked Reid in the Book Salon, what have the hearings accomplished, he retorted back that it got rid of AGAG and Alphonse Jackson… I wanted to respond that that wasn’t truly a consequence of the hearings…! But, Christy, had ran some interference…!

as i said that nite, i was real proud of the way the pup’s conducted themselves. there were some great questions asked that he was obviously not prepared for.

I also asked him a follow up which he ignored … I hope his peeps answer all those questions from that thread but I’m not holding my breath …

Being Pollyanna, I’m thinking there’s a strategy in place. By November, the hearings will all be top news. The American public will be aware of what has happened to our country.

threads close for comments after 24 hours

any response now would have to be via email

((((( Suz )))))

Imagine if Marcy and her friends had showed up … I don’t know if Senator Reid knew that we were all legit firepups and not trolls but it’d be great if they answered all our questions …

Nice visiting with you all, but it’s my bedtime now, so goodnight all.

I’m sure there were quite a few bloody lips amongst the pups, I had a puncture wound or two…! ;-)

G’nite Ann !

AP:
“2 hours, 2 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - President Bush said Tuesday he was disappointed in “flawed intelligence” before the Iraq war and was concerned that if a Democrat wins the presidency in November and withdrew troops prematurely it could “eventually lead to another attack on the United States.”

I’m speechless. Just speechless.

he was lucky (laughing) and didn’t know it

too bad reid isn’t more like john dean in the way he interacts with the questions.

Reid ignored my imploration to do something about HoJo, “a traitor to the Democratic Party…”

Aloha, Ann!

fucker is practically begging for one…..

That would be the very least they can do … far less than they promised to do in the run up to the 2006 elections …

Saw that. Good question.

g’nite an in az and thanks for the wrap up

Marcy asked some really good questions, Petro.

“Flawed intelligence” my foot … The Canadians, Europeans, Asians, etc. were all telling him Iraq had no WMDs but he and his Poodle were turning a deaf ear …

Sweet dreams.

She was there ? I thought only bmaz was present from that amazing group …

driving by night, here.

Sounds like a not so veiled threat by the bush cabal. my fear (tinfoiled over many times) is that these criminals will instigate their own attack to say “see?” and take over again. They’re sick enough to do it.

baby is finally asleep maybe i should try to grab a nap

I think that’s why Levin & Co. have been so adamant about funding the War … to not be blamed for troops’ casualties or another attack …

((((( WB )))))

nap well wobbly

They seem to have ticked off all intelligence agencies, so hopefully this will be circumvented …

I missed it in real time completely. It was good fun to read, though!

it’s called emotional blackmail.

If only those assh*les could be shamed into some real support for the troops that survive and return.

(((Petro))) good to ssee ya

okay off to nap

Baby????

Heh, Whatcha gonna do if mommy does come looking for her kitty…? ;-)

hey, that’s a real ray of hope…thanks.

ok what about my other paranoid fear that Cheney has his own secret mole-ish army within the military?

Punaise, that was a great question, I was looking for a link to all the times JoeLie had opposed Reid but he left before I could find it.

Reid had claimed that JoeLie was a close ally to the Dems in everything except the War, which is absolute tripe !

isn’t the inability to feel guilt one of the signs of a psychopach or sociopath or whatever the term is that is used nowadays. i’m remembering back when i took the criminal profiling course back in the early 90’s so take that memory with a grain of salt…

nevermind she is up and yowling. maybe she is hungry

you made the right choice wb! although I do cherish my quiet wake time.

Real shame that Democrats didn’t want Hurricane Katrina response investigated.
Who woulda thunk?

I think most military personnel from top to bottom are ticked off with BushCo, but I am a very positive thinker by nature …

and now that ICE is part of homeland security, no one wants them investigated either

Yep … when they could, they didn’t …

I want to get this Election campaign started so we can ask the Dems in Congress some hard questions and make them understand they won’t be in for a free ride after November …

Is this video suggesting in a subtle - not to say undetectable way - that an Obama/Clinton ticket is in the offing?

She hasn’t come back. She must have been moving the brood when she was discovered and left my lil one behind. If they hadn’t moved her, mom would have come back. We put her in a box outside last evening and today–nothing.

nope, probably more a reflection on my firstborn getting married the end of the month…. another bride, another groom

How ya been, Dood ?

Obama/Clinton is as likely as Obama/Cheney …

no, you’re right on the money. I have a twisted SIL and I finally learned that if you think of other people as objects to be manipulated, you understand my SIL’s world view! And then guilt just doesn’t even need to compute. Unless you are faking it to manipulate the object in front of you for your desired response.

she is a feisty thing. moves around a lot

How go the plans, Suz ?

All smooth, I hope …

Thanks Petro. I usually am but the demons come out at this hour sometimes. And I am very troubled by how out of control this admin is/was allowed to get. The system isn’t self-correcting.

she still fairly calm but the wedding is getting closer and closer

Did you see The Hill’s article on senators’ response if they were asked to be vp? I thought Larry Craig’s was pretty funny actually.

Q: what would you say if you were asked to be VP?

A: I’d say “no, hillary”

Marvelous. Congratulations!

How will we know who is the bride and who the mother?

WTF? This is the second reference I heard today about another attack. There first one was from Rummy. Are they trying to tell us something sinister.

Good- and you sir?

Obama/Lester Maddox was my thought.

Surprise, anyone?

Some Detainees Are Drugged For Deportation
Immigrants Sedated Without Medical Reason

In their own words Glossary/Cast of Characters
Michel Shango said he fled Congo after working as a journalist there. In America, he married and had children, but did not win asylum. Listen to Shango talk about his deportation experience.Press play to listen.

The U.S. government has injected hundreds of foreigners it has deported with dangerous psychotropic drugs against their will to keep them sedated during the trip back to their home country, according to medical records, internal documents and interviews with people who have been drugged.

Thought of any names yet…?

The last two weeks are the most jittery … massages and meditation help greatly …
