A crowning achievement in covering all the bases Elliot. Happy Father’s Day and Happy Summer to al.
… neither John Ensign nor the 13 year old from CPAC having been available.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Good morning and happy Father’s Day.
Good morning, pups, and Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. Lots of folks today, MoDo, Friedman, Kristof, Cohen and Rich. Gawd. MoDo wastes our time with “Obama’s Fly Move” in which she opines that President Obama’s swift killing of a fly may have resonated so much because some Americans fear that he is too prone to negotiation, comity and splitting the difference. MoDo, honey, it didn’t “resonate” at all. It was turned into something “meaningful” by morons like you. STFU, fergawdsake. The Moustache of Wisdom, in “Bullets and Ballots” written from the safety of his cozy mansion, tells the Iranians that if supporters of Mir Hussein Moussavi want their ballots to count, they must continue their protests and show Iran’s leaders that they can be neither bought nor bullied. Easy for you to say, Tommy… Mr. Kristof writes about “Lettuce From the Garden, With Worms,” and says one reason for the myriad health problems in America is our industrialized agriculture system, and it should be under scrutiny — by the government as well as consumers. Mr. Cohen, who is still in Tehran, says “A Supreme Leader Loses His Aura as Iranians Flock to the Streets,” and that as protesters defied a warning from Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country faces its gravest test since the founding of the Islamic Republic. Mr. Rich writes about “Obama’s Make or Break Summer,” and says that while restraint has proven useful for President Obama’s foreign policy dealings, he can not afford to use the same subtle tactics on urgent domestic issues.
Here they are.
Mr. Rich proved he’s got some snark:
Nice! The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got some chocolate croissants that I got yesterday because I couldn’t face turning the stove on. It was 80° at 6 this morning, so I’ve already been out and watered the garden and filled the bird baths. Now I’m headed out to fill the feeders before those birds go all Hitchcock on us. Have a great day.
To go along with MoDo, just so you will know on Matthews…..Woodward looks reeeealy old, and Gloria has one weird “busy” suit. Thought you would want to know what’s important..Have a great day.
Happy summer all, and happy longest day of the year, Thanks Elliott – looks like same old BS. Even c-span has its right wing devotee leading discussion.
*sigh* All the usual suspects… Reich wingers and Blue Dogs…! What I would give for some true progressives like Kaptur, Sherrod Brown, Russ Feingold, etc…! Let them talk about the 72% of Americans wanting the ‘Public Option’ if not Single Payer…! Happy Fathers Day!
Good morning,
Marion, you can have some of our rain to water your garden. We are getting 1-2 inches/day with the rare day or two exception. It’s been going on for a couple of weeks. My small stream is roaring, though the Wallkill River hasn’t actually flooded yet. (Happens in the spring with rains plus snow runoff, but it’s getting close now.)
My bluebird showed up to perch on the (empty) feeder this morning to look around, but I avoided teasing him, tempted though I was.
Thanks for the rundown Elliott. I might be watching today as too wet & more rain expected to do much outside.
The more things change, the more they stay the same…
It looks like McClatchey is the only news org with a small command of the obvious.
I like their track record…! ;-)
Rerun of Colbert Report on. Josh is the guest. (I didn’t see it when it originally ran.)
good morning to all.
thank you for the list elliot, i might give stark a listen to on cspan.
Morning everybody, Happy Father’s Day to all you fathers. Here’s me ‘n’ my Dad.
Celebrate the solstice.
Back from 4 weeks in Europe and was struck by the diversity of public thought and discourse in the media. Conservative, centrists, Communists, Socialists, Greens, far right and more. EU parlimentary elections in Italy had 15+ parties. Back in the U.S. it’s the same old same old. Centrists, corporatists and of course the far right.
Marion, your early morning entries are a delight and have become a necessity in the a.m. like that first cup of coffee.
Too funny! You’re an attractive family, though!
Thanks! I forgot to mention that there are also pitchers of iced tea, lemonade and ice water in the fridge. Our temps will be hovering around 100° here.
I’d celebrate the solstice if I could see the sun. It’s been days and looks like only one or two days in this coming week when it will peek out.
there is no question barack is not doing what needs to be done and is being tossed around like a puppet on the string of the corporate world
with the hundreds of billions of dollars spent I have not seen ONE job created, NOR have I heard of even one job, all we;ve heard is how the new unemployed is not as bad as it could have been
this man continues to listen to the people who caused the problem, continues to ignore the historical template we know works for reinvigorating the middle class, continues to do anything he said he would do and continues the economic policies of the bush administration
we are indeed in the bush third term, just as rove said we would be if barack had won way back before the election
isn’t that funny?
the very first thing we can say rove was right about, he was right that barack obama is going to be bush 3
wonderful
ooo, four weeks in Europe, lucky you, Bluetoe!
tell us more.
In Michigan with a 14%+ unemployment some towns are forced to tear up paved roads and replace them with gravel. Cheaper to tear them out and put down gravel than maintain existing paved roads.
you have longer hair then I thought you might
If the Moustache had been in Tehran he’d have pissed his pants on an hourly basis.
and think how much better your local economy would be if barack simply had programs to build those roads
this is really really bad and the man is living in his bubble clueless, giving untold funds tot he people that caused the problem
and with how he defens bush’s depraved policys concerning the war the law and our rights I would have absolutely no problem if a movement was mounted to remove this man from office, he is clearly not capable
going to panera, see all in a bit
Cute.
oh man, tell me about it. It’s hanging weather at this point, so reminds me of Agnes.
Did see a star or two last night, tho, and at least it’s been cool.
And of course, it wouldn’t be morning without Marion’s offerings. So nice to have chocolate croissants and lemonade, sorry it’s so hot down there.
Visiting family in friends in France and Italy. France’s TGV is a marvel. The government (the people) are continually building new and faster lines throughout the country. Nice to Paris, 3 1/2 hours. Traveling at 200+ miles an hour on land is a heady experience.
perris! long time no see.
You can have some of mine. Turned the ac on for the 1st time this year yesterday and today is more of the same. 90s I can handle. Combined with 90% humidity ain’t fun.
Gonna go read outside & see if I can spot a break in the rain to bicycle to the farmers’ market.
We are so behind in this area, and no excuse, really.
As Elliott said, at least it’s been cool. I have used my fans only once or twice this year. (And it was a cold winter, making at least 8 months in a row of below recent average temps. Global warming????)
Have a great (hot) day.
Haven’t needed the AC yet, am grateful for that.
Morning all. Happy Fathers Day to the Dads. Here in CNY we have rain. Then rain, and finally, more rain.
They recognize that some things need to be done by the “government.” When they see a need they don’t sit around and wait for the “market” to work it’s “magic.”
CNN’s showing massive protests in Iran. Are these pictures current or before the crackdown?
good to see you too elliott
since we had to fire everyone but me I am working 7 days a week through the busy season
making about 20 percent less then when I worked four days too
anyway, I am the only salesperson left standing even though I was the last one hired…at least I have that consolation
anyway, be back in about a half hour
Vive la revolucion!
thanks perris, somehow i missed baker on elliot’s list.
A beautiful tune. I saw it over at C&L.
We’re lucky there’s no tropical depression on its way.
Aaaaah, isn’t that sweet. A father’s day interview with the man who abandoned his first family and was pretty much absent with the second. The man who was a jet-setter, partying in Hawaii while his disabled wife tried to care for his children. A man who seems to be totally lacking in family values is going to gush over the joys of fatherhood. Too sweet.
Solai
They could have had family values guy Newt Gingrich on./s
Rethug family values, dontcha know. They should form an Adulterer’s Caucus.
thanks!
Happy Father’s Day to all the Father Pups here at the Lake! :-)
The adulterers Caucus could be bipartisan. It would be the hypocrits caucus that the rethugs could have a lock on.
interesting take by dean baker on markets: Envisioning the Future Requires Knowing the Present
Right wingers such as Glenn Beck are using the Iranian protests as a way to rally their troops here in America to do the same thing. Unfreakingbelievable, but then again, he may be successful because there seems to be many who have a beef with President Obama on some level or another. It could be the first time in history where the neck drooling knuckle draggers protest hand in hand with the gays of America! Wouldn’t that be something? LOL *shaking head*
A note on Movie Night, the actress Mozhan Marnò also will be joining us.
And these are the people who will be on Zakaria GPS:
Middle East Forum Director Daniel Pipes; Afshin Molavi (New America Foundation); Author Hooman Majd; Christopher Dickey (Newsweek); Columbia University Professor of Journalism Sree Sreenivasan; Author Clay Shirkey.
Rally their troops to do the same thing? Aw, man, they’d have to drag their fat asses out of the recliner and away from the boob tube.
Well, don’t you realize that, just as Iranians using Twitter to get the word out is the same thing as the Republicans’ nattering on about sitting in the empty Congress, the Iranians are having a teabagging protest? Those folks drink a lot of tea there. /snark
There’s a diary at DKos asking everyone to join in a general strike for healthcare reform. Obviously, it’s not going to reach enough people but it’s the right idea. I’ve emailed MoveOn asking them to organize something. I’m feeling a desperate need to do something before it’s too late.
LOL Good point you make, SD, but they’re seeing President Obama worse than George Bush ever could think of being in his 8 years, and they are motivated. Then there are the gays in our nation who have read ONE FILING BY OBAMA’S DOJ and are suicidal over it. The two factions will join up at some point I’m sure. By the way, I read the same brief…
http://www.scribd.com/doc/1635…..riage-case
…and I came away with the impression that this was truly a jurisdiction case (Smelt & Hammer were recognized in the filing as being legally married in California, but because they remain in California and have not moved out of the state to test their marriage, then they legally don’t have a case at all) and not a case where the Obama Admin wanted to exclaim, “We are homophobes! We hate gays! We duped you all! Wha hahahahahaha!. But unfortunately, “some” are saying that this is what this filing means.
Anyway, the right wingers are truly lazy when it comes to patriotism. It will be interesting what they will do over the next few years. They are worshiping the Iranians who are protesting right now (I am too but for different reasons!).
LMAO! I forgot! Thanks for reminding me Ms. Marion. ;-)
G’morning. Happy Father’s Day to dads here and those who have ‘em or had ‘em. Solstice, too. Hmmmm. Harmonic convergence? Enjoy the day!!
Pete Hoekstra is a Meme
put down your lemonade.
They’re still protesting… Here’s a good rundown from an Iranian in Iran that wrote to Bernhard at Moon over Alabama… Check out b’s compilation of links too…!
In conjunction with my 40 here’s the obituary of Ali Akbar Khan. The classical music of India is a joy to listen to. To watch it performed is even more of a treat.

Oh, lordy! Thanks for the warning about the lemonade.
I couldn’t believe it when I read it in the Guardian… No need to wonder why they were in such a hurry to repay the TARP funds…!
imo moveon leadership has been on the wrong side of the healthcare reform issue. been hoping they would come to their senses soon.
