I learned that worry only provokes worry.

What me worry?

Aloha, ES!

Ooh, ya snuck in ahead of me…! 8-P

What me worry?

Ah, the Chimpster method.
Hey Eureka!

I am, after all, a couple of hours ahead of you.

Good evening, newtonusr and everyone…)

The first thing I learned… this time last year.. is the progressive part of the primary was OVER.

The last 22 months were our training camp. The next 22 are the regular season. What have we learned about process, and how do we make it go our way?

Aye, yer a good man ES.
What I learned is that the Republican party is only about enriching themselves, are a bunch of racist motherfuckers and are only still alive for one reason, obstructionism.
Fuck them, fuck their ancestors and fuck their progeny.

Alligator bait is all they are good for.

Tell ‘em Busted sent ya.

Don’t let the shiny right of center crowd distract me from the work I really want to do.

plunger..if you wander by here..I have another manual for you ..Have you seen this one? A lot of talk in there about what to do within the US. “Known Unknowns: Unconventional “Strategic Shocks” in Defence Strategy Development”.

http://www.strategicstudiesins…..m?pubID=89

The last manual is slowly starting to hit the web:

Today was warm and sunny here at the Central coast.
Today was a terrible day for peace in the worlds. As I said the injustices of the civilian bombing is fanning the flames of hatred throughout the world. The precedent set by Shock & Awe is being implemented in Palestine.

Remember they came for the jews, the unions and I didn’t speak…there was noone left to speak when they came for me.

Oooh, Lookie a nice shiny bauble…! ;-)

I used to duck and goose hunt.. a lot. Anyway we would always clean our birds next to a spot where a fourteen foot alligator hung out during the sunny part of a winter day and feed it the remains. That and shoes are about all a gator is good for. /s

Some serious fuckery in ‘em, eh?

From what I’ve read of you, bright shiny objects are no obstacle.

I knew you would get it.

Catfish tend to like putrefied bait also.

Yeah, so did I.

You should see my smoking jacket collection.

Good evening…nice to see a first for Mary..how’s the housing prospects? Got relatives? Contacted the congress critter?
I have a fiend who speculated when housing went down usinfg a line of credit…$250,000.00 leveraging to buy another house. He got a cancellation letter no more line of credit. I told hom he is lucky sa thw market in CA has another 25% to fall.

I always thought of you as a “Dandy.”

Don’t touch the top hat.. It’s civil war era.

Oh, we learned Hope trumps Terror, but both may be able to deliver a sucker punch.

HMMM, I never got that vibe.

A Dandy, not an effete. Just cause he can wear a coat’n’tails doesn’t make him ineffective.

I learned to really crack the whip on my Blue Dog congressman. And every one of his cronies. Some are just beyond redemption, or so it seems. But you have to call if there’s some issue that is very important, like SCHIP was and is to me.

Basically I learned that electing people who are supposed to be on our side is very costly.
I want down-the-line Democrats, I want people who know how the hell to vote for the best interests of poor and working class people. I do not want a fucking Republican in Dem. clothing.
I will ask harder questions next time I go to a candidates’ gathering.

Evening ES and everyone! CTuttle, what were the fireworks you were talking about last thread. (Don´t know how to make question marks on this computer and don´t know why I had to use the askerisk to make the parenthesis…keep getting kicked off, etc.)

Newt, what do you think Bush is REALLY doing in Crawford.

He’s only partially right.. I am a man with many many hats.

I’ll shop with you in Firenze Gucci this week.. and the next week, sleep on the beach of a rugged Mexican village.. get robbed in the middle of the night and recover all our chit the next day. And have the crooks fix us tacos with a smile.

From the ‘No Duh’ Dept…

U.S. slow to meet needs, refugees say

Despite substantial American contributions, displaced Iraqis’ needs dwarf all efforts to aid them

I love you Margot!

I learned there is no such thing as too skeptical.

McLatchey has a front page photo of Israeli’s protesting the Gaza invasion.

It moved me deeply.

-G

I hope we are getting down to the right questions now, and Howie has been putting himself on the line big time.
So, are we asking the right questions, asking them relentlessly, repeatedly so as to keep pols from beating them into meaningless soundbites?

And if we elect a “Democrat” and he/she betrays the oath and their candidacy, is it the Congress that does it to them, or are we just not vetting them well enough?

I want us to get better at this.

Here… Between some current and former Pups… I used language I normally wouldn’t…

Drinking. Just like ‘05, when Cindy was banging on his door.

Coats and tails and shotgun shells.

Hook ‘em and snook ‘em and eat their entrails.

Hickory Dickory Dock,
I see I have run my mouth, Doc.
My apologies and jeeze,

Please excuse me, if you please.

Sweet

That is a disgraceful and predictable piece of shit he wrote.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Loo Hoo.. Are you in Panama? Been kind of quiet lately.

LOL!
Cool.
Gene Kelley was a Dandy.
Fred Astaire was a Dandy.
Hell, Gable and Teddy Roosevelt were Dandys.

Action Alert…The Dignity is under attack by the Israeli’s. Cynthia McKinney is on that boat to Gaza. Help for them all is being asked for here…a request for phone calls..

Dugg and good nite

Those were my same thoughts…! I got a little hot under the collar with his stubbornness… Not one of my prouder moments, but, I cited numerous respected sources and Haaretz in my arguments and they didn’t even bother with any… Frustrating to say the least…!

Aloha, Neuro!

bad rubbish

Are you familiar with this web site? Does it have a credible history?

Thank you kind sir. Rest well.

Yes..very..

Dang, CTut, that was quite a ¨conversation¨.

It was bait. You know who we’re talking about.
Sometimes we can’t help but bite at it. Derision seems to work well, though.

Drinking and meeting with lawyers methinks.

Yes, I´m still here, going home Wednesday. I look forward to the regular toobz.

I think he believes he has his ducks in a row, but I would love it if he were frightened by fallout from his time in office.
Addington has seen to it, I believe.

It’s great to have Obama as Our President-Elect, but, imvho, a pall still hangs heavy on US All.

Our Country is in a Funk – a W Funk.

We’re all sick of Bush’s, and the GOP’s, Power Agenda Politics, but no one can yet remember what it used to be like when People Crossed the Aisle to do the Right Thing after all the speechmaking was done.

From a conditioning point of view, We are still carrying Bush’s Oppression around like it’s Our Reality – and that, imvho, would get anyone down.

In order for US to ‘transform’ Our current conditioning into a ‘better way,’ We’re going to need to ’see’ with Our Own Eyes signs that the Constitution has come through the Bush Years like Old Glory over Ft. McHenry, or that the Rule of Law is working again, or that Powerful Perpetrators of Great Crimes are being brought to Justice – before the clouds of Bush’s Big-Brother-ness scatter into memories of a time of madness…

…of a time when We forgot that We’d Rather Be Free Than Safe.

Siun thanked me for links to it recently. The call for help is on her face book page, also. I just checked, again. The boat is heavily damaged, but is on its way to Lebanon. The last time this happened to one of the freegaza boats..phone calls..e-mails helped keep those people alive..

Wow… they will be lucky to live through this. And what gives Israel the right to turn away, even harm, folks from Palestinian waters? Folks who are obviously unarmed.. and former U.S. congresscritters to boot!

CNN covered the attack..The Israelis say they did not know it was an aid ship..cough cough

http://www.freegaza.org/index……38;offset=

I don´t care if it takes ten years, I want a criminal punished for his crimes. Addington too. (Though he can have a reduced sentence if he spills imo, to a life of hard labor.)

Yeah, because Israel’s military intelligence is such a poorly trained and poorly equipped outfit.

Careful, ya want the Mossad or the ADL knocking at your door…? ;-)

They must have mistaken it for the Pueblo.

The world is full of warmongering goons.

8 Years of Bushism was the poison and now everyone has he chest thumping cancer.

-G

(t)he.

I love you too, Loo Hoo!

That man can do no good while living free. Children and liberty around the world are not safe.

freegaza is the best site..up to the minute coverage when something is happening. You will learn the truth of Gaza if you spend some time reading past articles. These are the people who broke the embargo of Gaza. Wonderful and brave people; all of them. Volunteers from around the world get on those small boats and sail from Cyprus.

The last time the Israeli’s cut communication, gps and radio, it was awful while we waited to hear if the boat had been bombed. I think it was around two hours, or so. The alert that went out and the response let the Israelis know the world was watching via internet.

No right, but they do it frequently. They attack and prevent fisherman from fishing in their own waters. I was very worried because I read earlier somewhere that the Israelis were firing on Gaza from a navy ship in the harbor.

Chimpy told Powell (according to unnamed State Dept. sources) that perhaps the US should step aside and let one of these parties win. This is what happens.

From my hero, KV: “What a fucking planet!”

Don’t ya mean the USS Liberty…?

Yes..all courtesy of the US. Did you read earlier where I posted about the new system they just received? Not only a new warning system, but the troops sent from the US with it are staying in Israel.

The Pueblo is about right.

I could go for this:

I’ll shop with you in Firenze Gucci this week.. and the next week, sleep on the beach of a rugged Mexican village..

And I’d enjoy the tacos.. Mebbe I hide for the robbery and recovery
part.

Aww…garsh. ;)

I slept through the robbery myself… which made the recovery all the more miraculous. *s*

And screw the systems – the Dignity has been all over the news. But I guess IDF doesn’t watch CNN.

I wanna know if Abramoff is on the list.

Marcy has some ideas about the content of the list, but her reasons elude me. But it’s Marcy, so I defer to her wisdom. I think he is not on her list, but I have to find it and check.

Which list?

I read Sunny’s inquiry as the pardon list, and Marcy wrote about it months ago. I am trying to find it among the hundreds of PDF’s I clipped from EW.

Oh I see.

R.I.P. Freddie Hubbard…

Jazz great Freddie Hubbard dead at 70

Addington, Yoo, Rumsfield, Miller, Rice, Cheney, Ari, Tenent, Rove, Libby,The Bald headed little forker whos name won’t come to mind, Novack, the whole lot of them.

Oh NO!

dammit

Sounds like a genuine adventure :-)

Would the baldheaded forker be Armitage?

Yes.
Thank you.

It really was, Sunny. Everyone involved dropped jaws several times. We ended up staying several more days… it was a remote, very remote area.. unfortunately we just missed the turtle hatch by a few days.

The other Dick.

How could you leave out “The Stupidest Fucking Man On The Planet”(TM) Doug Feith…? ;-)

Because I have paid good money for my memory loss.

General Franks proclamation, while aimed at Feith, should probably be taken broadly. That would be a very, very long list.

Heh! That 151 Bacardi ain’t cheap, eh? ;-)

The list is longer than Icoyuld ever remember. Throw in the media and you are surpassing my family reunion.

Does Bush have to use names, or can he just say that any and all humans that helped me..directly or indirectly during my eight year reign of terror..is now pardoned? A funny new Executive Order?

ROTFF, LMAO!

Well, Dougie was the head of Darth’s and Rummy’s little Cabal known as Office Of Special Plans and who was instrumental in having Bremer dismiss the Iraqi army and the de-Ba’athification of the whole civil gov…!

It’s odd, neither the Free Gaza link or the CNN video say Cynthia is on the Dignity.

If Rove’s involved, he’ll toss in a couple D red herrings..

Israel has declared the coast a closed military zone. No reports of casualties on the boat, but this article says that they will not let it land. I sure hope that changes.

http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1051224.html

Yes, but I don’t see or hear reporting of Cynthia being on the boat. Are they omitting such info or is it wrong to suggest she is on the boat?

Here is their passenger list.

http://www.freegaza.org/index……7e5b970612

OK Thanks.. Then there is a whole lot of omission going on!

Face book page…scroll down a bit to ‘the wall’…

http://www.facebook.com/pages/…..6713987105

Well, I shall bid ya’ll a fond adieu! Aloha Oe!!!

nite ct.

good night, CT

nite tuttle

Perhaps they’ll parole Abramoff. He can disappear to Israel.
Problem solved.

WOuldn’t surprise me if he already has citizenship and or a passport.

He surrendered the passport, but that is just a formality I suppose.

I’m pretty sure he does have Israeli citizenship.

He was one of the greats. I was REAL lucky that I got to see him three times, all in the Bay Area in mid 70’s.

If you’ve never heard the project ‘California Concert’, which he was all over, go find it.

BTW, thanks for the words elsewhere regarding the Gaza Issue. Really appreciate that . . *G*

Hoss, funny, funny stuff at your place on that topic of reunions, family and malls . . . . *G*

Many dual citizens here.

http://www.mondovista.com/dualcitizen.html

I’m gonna retract the pretty sure he has Israeli citizenship. Kept an elaborate time line and cast of characters list while this was evolving. No mention there.

Have a ton of material and will keep digging. Difficult to imagine they intend to leave him available when the administration departs.

A very interesting article. Thanks.

I believe that there is at least one error in that article: Larry Franklin is Catholic and likely not a citizen of Israel. See http://www.warandpiece.com/blogdirs/001074.html

Thanks for the link.

Attaturk is upstairs!
Checked out, eight years early

maybe..I don’t know..I’d have to check more sites; maybe tomorrow. As Biden says; you don’t have to be a Jew to be a Zionist.

You’re welcome. Some bad for the US critters are dual citizens.

Israel allows no dual citizens in its government. Why does America?

http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/9426

Very interesting..Wiki mentioned Sibel Edmonds’ website which has pictures of those in the White House who are involved in some nasty stuff..Larry Franklin is there.
