I’m shocked that anyone could think that the cartoon had any racist undertones.
Just like McCain’s “Celebrity” ad, its conception was as pure as driven snow.
Which is white…
Great pic accompanying the post. Had to have been taken in her glorious double wide.
I agree. The drug wars in Mexico are getting to be truly frightening.
Not a fan of Holder. I just don’t think he’s the best and the brightest. His appearance at Congress was very disappointing.
NYT
I hope they nail ‘em all. Glad to know there’s more to the deal than just a fine for UBS
.
lol
Philippe Cousteau up on CSPAN
off shore drilling
I hope that they make the 19,000 names public, label them as unamerican and break it off in them.
The American Taliban is now saying that the NYP “cartoon” is not depicting any violence! Yep, we’re all imagining it.
Assholes.
UBS, the largest bank in Switzerland, agreed on Wednesday to divulge the names of well-heeled Americans whom the authorities suspect of using offshore accounts at the bank to evade taxes.
*crosses fingers hoping for Phil Gramm to be served up on a platter*
The whistleblowers are coming out of the woodwork! Yippee!
Since the cause of all these failures is lack of confidence in the Bamster, he should immediately step down and resign and allow the GOP to regain control. The country has spiralled out of control under just a month of misrule. Four years is impossible and too much.
Mornin’ all,
sadly JayT, don’t hold your breath – Gramm ran the CDO/Derivatives ops and will probably not come up
I know it will be some time down the road, but as always am curious as to the backstory – how in the world does a major bank get investigated by Bush DOJ for evading taxes, it’s what they do after all – just ask our friends in the Caymans :D
Yes Rachel indicated last night that since her interview of the Gitmo guard on Tuesday three more have come forward and are giving testimony. Great news
to whom ?!?!
why yes, I’m a little behind in my fdl news, why do you ask ? :D
That doesn’t mean he hasn’t been squirreling money away in Swiss Banks. I would imagine there are gonna be some jaw dropping moments when UBS starts releasing names.
University of California – Guantanmo Testimonials project
Which campus?
Davis

NPR headlines reporting new unemployment claims at a record level.
thanks! I’ll check it out
Thanks, heh, it’s the one campus I hadn’t thought of hosting.
and why is my inner realist shouting that it will be topped with “major Democratic contributors ” ?!?!? martha stewart much
actually, I’m hoping ol Phil split his lucre btw Stanford and Madoff
ps – did you see my FB link to you ?
Christy’s up
on the cocktail party at the White House last night
the lessons of experience?
I saw one the other day. Is there another? Having a hard time focusing on things right now.

((((SD))))
Thanks. Didn’t really hit me until this morning. Not knowing anything yet just makes it worse.
SD, runnin’ a bit behind, of late, but you (and your anguish) be in my thoughts, my friend.
David
SD: I am late today, so hope I have not missed you. What is it that is going on? Please let me know.
Friend committed suicide Tues evening. Gun. Sister only surviving family and undergoing treatment for breast cancer so info hard to get. B lost his bride to a second bout with breast cancer couple years ago. Tragedy doesn’t describe it.
The UBS story is indeed interesting. I’d like to know how and when the case started and who started it. I’d also like to know who pressed to have the names of people outed by the bank.
(((((SD)))))
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
SD, Dear God. I am so sorry and thank you for letting me know. I apologize for asking you to tell that again. Thoughts and prayers; I hope you hang out here alot so we can spend time with you, my friend. I am so sorry..Bev.
