democracynow reports direct hits on school & clinic in Gaza.
Anybody else noticed that Lady Jane makes every bobblehead nervous except Rachel? heh heh
To help the victims of Israeli genocide go here
Man, talk about shitty sentence structure. ugh.
Way to go Jane. I like the recognition regarding “being way ahead of everyone” on this! It’s. About. Time.
Ecahn, Israel released a statement over the weekend stating that Hamas used schools, clinics and mosques to hide weapons. I also read that 45% of the wounded were women and children. BBC has adequate, not great, coverage of the events as the unfold.
No one told DiFi or Rockefeller.
All they need to be told is to STFU.
SD, I thought it was Jane that seemed nervous last night. That said, it is great to see her on the teebee.
Maybe we should tell the Israeli’s that Hamas has hidden a vast store of weapons in the Knesset building.
Reporter on DN is from London Independent. Sez that humanitarian orgs had given the Israelis the coordinates of the school that had been subsequently targeted.
Has anyone read anything about the new Senators from Delaware and Colorado? It does seem that they have no elected experience but I missed the uproar about it.
I wish!
It is mentioned in BT’s first link as an update. McClatchy has more: Airstrike kills 3 at Gaza school U.N. using as refugee center
I noticed that but Shuster seemed even more so. Jane’s usually on a remote, mayhaps live in the studio made her a little nervous. I’d be petrified.
Did they say which ones?
Jane is awesome! Great job last night, Jane. You nailed it about Reid. ;-)
Smart bombs should be punished. Who could have imagined that they could do something like that./s

I’ve heard some complaints about Del; a clear opinion that the new person is only a place-holder for Biden’s son, etc. and not a serious choice.
Like al-Jazeera had given the coordinates of it’s station so the US would be able to avoid bombing it. The Israelis aren’t any more honourable than the US.
Don’t remember. My guess is it’s the same one in the article twolf
As long as he votes the way we want him to that’s ok with me. *g*
linked at 12.
Has a certain familiar ring. These things always do.
Good Morning all. Richardson has hired a lawyer known for experience in white collar crime.
ALL of the appointees to the Senate face election. I am not sure of their place in the Senate queue. . .two years or four from now. So no matter what the appointee’s experience is, with or without a side of politics, each will have to face the voters at a minimum in two years.
Jane is correct. Harry needs to follow the law.
I saw this comment at Daily Dish but I did not link to the web site..
Israel’s just playing by Chicago rules: “They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That’s the Chicago way!”
How you can compare bombing, schools, clinics, mosques to Chicago is beyond me. Thousands are now wounded with inadequate medical care and several hundred are dead.
Loved her calling Harry to account and having examples of his boneheadedness.
And of course it follows, every appointee will have primary opposition.
I liked Jane for saying she would like to be playing poker with Harry. He seems to get a losing hand a lot.
OT: Harry saying Ann is “sophomoric”, “goofy.” Idiot Ann denies Obama at any greater risk for danger. She’s calling Delay and Sarh Palen = victims….She doesn’t know she’s psycho…illegitimacy celebrated by the Left -wing.
Thank you for the heads up…
and that couldn’t possibly be a dig at Obama, now could it? /s
Satann Coulter taking a beating on the teebee? Makes my day.
Well he did say he would bring a gun to a knife fight. /s

Mine, too. I was celebrating NBC for not having her own, but also cheering Harry. She is a ghoul, I hate to say.
A sick, misinformed, idiotic comment. Of course I could add more adjectives but I don’t want to upset the mods.
Never been to the windy city huh?
Was she in the studio, or on remote, when Harry is sayin’ all this stuff?
Man, that couldn’t have been good for her fragile ego. /s
OK, RevBev, we’re burnin’ daylight here.
Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.
Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
That said, fuck Israel.
Namaste
Good morning, Mister Bill O’Reilly please, this is Senator Franken’s office…
Rachel should ask Ann on her show. If Ann refuses, she should announce every day that she invited Ann on her show but she refused.
And speaking of people taking a beating…….Keef nailed it last night when he called cheney a “fatuous condescending lunatic.” I caught the “fatuous” part but iirc the remainder was sorta under his breath. h/t to DU for seeing the words written out (dial-up impaired). One of the things I love about progressives is their inclination to multiple syllable words. :-)
Not sure if you saw my earlier comment but ads now running here in CO in support of Israel.

Yeah but just for a few short visits. If I had a choice between Gaza and Chicago though, I know what I would choose.
Raven, Enjoy the rain today. We are expecting 2-4 inches! Happy trees!

Did you hear Rachel last night call for anyone who had received an invitation to any scheduled event in Blair House before the middle of the month to give her a shout-out? That lady been readin’ the lefties blogs…hehehehe
Yea, and it looks like it’s pushing north of Athens!
I watched most of Harry Smith’s interview with Coulter. Wish I had seen the beginning. He pretty much let it be known what he thought of her. He said she was the one doing the whining and playing the victim. At the end he said she needed a cross, or something to that effect.
And to think not long ago I was wondering when she would get her voice back. She had been relatively quiet for some time.
What would Raygun and Grover do in a room full of manly men? They need to go to the the facebooks and twitters to get the yunguns. They also enjoy touching each others knees.
Next, they compare the size of their guns.
But in the end they blame Obama and it is always about the sex.
She also said that W, Limbaugh, and Hannity are all in more danger than O, and that there was more danger, etc at the Repub Convention…somehow had forgotten about the guys at the Dem. convention. I would like to say “you can’t make this stuff up”, but, YEP, she does.
Yep: right in the studio. She made it hard for Harry to get a word in the conversation, but he kept after it.
Doctors and medics denied access to Gaza by Egyptians.

Is there a link to jane’s appearance yesterday?
yeah, particularly Prairie Sunshine’s Blair House Which Project series at Oxdown
ermm, BT has it uptop
It’s the vid at the top of this page.
John Bolton says a three state solution is the only answer; give Gaza to Egypt and give the West Bank to Jordan. He speaks of giving away Gaza citizens as if they are not human beings with any right to choose. US citizens are expected to pay for this manoeuvre…forever, apparently. If by West, he is including Canada; he can …. off.
Let’s start by recognizing that trying to create a Palestinian Authority from the old PLO has failed and that any two-state solution based on the PA is stillborn. Hamas has killed the idea, and even the Holy Land is good for only one resurrection. Instead, we should look to a “three-state” approach, where Gaza is returned to Egyptian control and the West Bank in some configuration reverts to Jordanian sovereignty. Among many anomalies, today’s conflict lies within the boundaries of three states nominally at peace. Having the two Arab states re-extend their prior political authority is an authentic way to extend the zone of peace and, more important, build on governments that are providing peace and stability in their own countries. “International observers” or the like cannot come close to what is necessary; we need real states with real security forces.
This idea would be decidedly unpopular in Egypt and Jordan, which have long sought to wash their hands of the Palestinian problem. Accordingly, they should not have to reassume this responsibility alone. They should receive financial and political support from the Arab League and the West, as they both have for years from the United States. Israel should accept political and administrative roles by Jordan and Egypt, unless it intends to perform such roles itself (which it manifestly does not).

Oops. Thanks.
The more the Fiensteins and media gasbags bitch about Panetta, the more I think that Panetta is a good pick.

Yes, and per above, who cares what John Bolton thinks? What a jerk.
Thank you, nomolos. I used your link and donated $50.00, it’s not much and I wish I could do more. I posted a long comment and gave your link at Siun’s Gaza Update (Target Medics). I could not remember who gave the link. (Sorry).
If you care to know how I turned from a life-long strong supporter of Israel to a supporter of the imprisoned in the Gaza Ghetto, my post at Siun’s article is # 31 by acquarius74.
