I just wanted to show lawbreaking going on in regards to Manning’s treatment with how the military alleges that he saw a mental health specialist. With recent Florida murders by the wife of an Army officer, she was given treatment, but neither the Sheriff nor the hospital is saying what medical treatment she received. So an alleged murderer gets their medical privacy protected, but an alleged leaker gets their medical privacy exposed to the media:
Authorities say Julie Powers Schenecker was taken to Tampa General Hospital shortly after midnight Saturday to be treated for a medical condition that existed before she was taken to jail. Hillsborough Sheriff’s deputies — who oversee jail inmates — said they could not reveal Schenecker’s medical condition, citing health care privacy laws.

Good Morning,,,,Hope Hillary has alot of wisdom. Have been looking forward to the book salon….Not so much the Dallas Libr’y.
On Jessie Jackson’s radio program “Keep Hope Alive” black callers and panelists are eviscerating Obama’s SOTU and his callous indifference to the on going depression.
http://www.620kpoj.com/main.html
Panelists are saying in a sense Obama is trying to channel Ronald Reagan, a rising tide raises all boats is code for trickle down, and unregulated capitalism taken to it’s logical conclusion is slavery.
McCain AGAIN??? What on earth does he have to say that anyone cares to hear?
A Guilty plea? Rhetorical, right?
First time since 1948 has the word “poverty” not been mentioned in the SOTU by a “Democratic” president.
There seems to be a spiritual wave spreading accross the Middle East — a demand for freedom, which as Pres. Obama has stated and everyone knows, is a basic universal right. Surely, the uprising in Egypt and Tunisia can be seen as a victory for the forces of light on this planet and for humanity as a whole. For those of us who know how to work with the energy of light, love and goodwill, we must direct this energy into that region, aiding those forces of light already working for reconstruction.
oooops…I had thought we were talking about Bush. Too early, I guess.
but is ending up with Jimmy Carter.
Why do I doubt that partisanship is going to end at the water’s edge?
Hey Pups – Hey Elliot – a drive by ‘infogram’ ha.
Just posted this in Siun’s thread, want to make sure people are on the lookout – MSNBC just had one of the main policy guys from Bush on as an expert on Egypt. He is, but not the kind we want helping form public opinion and policy. Name human rights violations and every other mess we’ve ranted was so wrong about Irak on here, and his fingers were in it.
Here’s the repost –
Hey Pups.
Siun-
J Scott Carpenter was just on MSNBC as a Middle East policy expert. Remember him? I did – http://tinyurl.com/4wz3r5n
One of Bremer’s set-up guys. And other things. And remember the Eastern European R group that had its PAC/lobbyist fingers/money affecting policy over there?
Same guy.
My head reeled.
Wanted to make sure people knew the hawks are still out there parsing words in public.
The ‘hostess’ acted like he is a dove concerned about the welfare of Egypt. Maybe, but certainly not its people. No mention of his earlier career moves.
If video is posted I’ll post link later.
Take care.
; )
LOL. Sorry, went to make some breakfast and am just now back. Steve Benen (Washington Monthly) had a running count of McCain’s appearances, and with the last one, discontinued his count because it had become pointless to continue.
Last time Rachel had Meghan McCain on, I skipped over the segment completely, because she’s an airhead (or comes across that way).
Perfect job of linking us to something other than our horrible, worthless media. thanks Elliot
Hillary Clinton,on Meet The Press People are getting to much imformation.Did she say that?
she did word it that way
What was the context?
Not sure,what I heard after that statement was that the people with there Twitter,internet and news other than the USA news was getting to much imformation.
Transcript please and context.
Dropping in after church with the NYT folks… Didn’t want to disturb Egypt coverage. It’s Dowd, Friedman, Kristof and Rich today. MoDo is back, with “No Axe to Grind,” in which she says a band of brothers parts ways for more campaign glory. The Moustache of Wisdom is in Singapore, and sends us “Serious in Singapore” in which he says if Singapore has one thing to teach America, it is about getting governance right. Mr. Kristof says “Watch Out! The Assault Vehicle is Loose!” and has a question: What if we treated firearms the way we treat cars, as a public health challenge? Vehicle regulations save lives and are a model for gun regulations. Go sell that to the NRA… Mr. Rich, in “The Tea Party Wags the Dog,” says the Republicans, who sold themselves as the uncompromising champions of Tea Party-fueled fiscal austerity, have discovered that most Americans prefer compromise to confrontation.
Here they are.
Let’s have brunch, with your favorite omelet and either Bloody Marys or Mimosas. Now I’m back to work.
oo thanks
