Quote of the day:

Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket. — Eric Hoffer

I’ve been planning to go and have my last breakfast at Al’s Breakfast…

…it’s just a cryin’ shame.

Dinkytown is a little island of sanity in a thoroughly insane world.

Morning PW & Pupses:

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but…I just gotta do it.

i remember when the rush viagra DR story first came out. there were some who were just so sure it would end his career, with jail time possibly even.

but of course it did not. IOKIYAR.

i feel for the child prostitute he had service him, poor thing.

And here’s a pretty good clip from Maher’s show of 01/25/13…

The GOPAC clown is tap-dancing as fast as he can…

Here’s a good one: Republicans in the statehouse in Arizona have introduced a bill that would force high school graduates to take a loyalty oath or have their diplomas withheld. I’m glad to learn that Arizona has solved all of its real problems and become a Utopia where the legislature has nothing better to do than pass bullshit laws.

my heart bleeds for her. oh, what will become of Trap, Trig and Twerp? /clutches pearls

Yeah…tragic, ain’t it?

Could it be that the Boreal Narcissus’ time-dilated fifteen minutes of fame are finally up? Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I vividly recall sitting next to a black guy in Als Breakfast the morning after MLK was killed, trying to think of something to say.

I lived above Grey’s Drug and other places in Dinkytown for maybe ten years. Sauteed green peppers at Vescio’s, the used bookstore in the old firehouse, forgot his name, Dave the barber, coffee house.

I was thinking the same thing, although the spin from her camp seems to be that she might be open to accepting a similar gig on another cable news yammering, sonic pollution, infotainment network. The brass who run CNN and/or MSNBC have already proven themselves stupid enough to sign up a grifter like her. So we won’t might have Nixon Palin to kick around anymore a whole lot more. Bonus!

If Bob was a Dem he would have resigned by now. Is the DC the GOP’s party place? What moron goes to party with hookers in a country with the second highest AIDs rate in the Western Hemisphere?

Again: Rush Limbaugh.

Heh! Isn’t it sad? Her grifting career’s well past its prime, to put it mildly.

TBogg covered that yesterday.

Underage Hookers Bob should resign the FBI should prosecute we have to draw lines somewhere and I hope FDL follows up on this story.
Next question whats Bob’s stand on family values? When is he up for reelection? At the very least Bob should recuse himself from any votes regarding Child porn, sex trade, birth control and abortion.

Egggzacktly.

As for the DC’s going after BM, a lawyer buddy of mine says it’s bullshit. They’ve been trying to shop this story for months, and even the usual right-wing puke funnels rumor conduits aren’t touching it. That should tell you something.

Except that there’s nothing to report — just a bunch of accusations and innuendo. There’s not even any Viagra, unlike with Rush.

The GOP does seem to be full of morons but why risk AIDs when you can be a pervert in America…unless you want kids to sleep with?

I think that maybe why Rush went to the DR also sorry at mt 12 I wrote DC instead of DR, Dominican
Republic my bad sorry.

The FBI does not open an inquiry without a reason thats plenty to report. The FBI does not open an inquiry against a Senator of the United States without VERY good reason PW.

Re #11:

I agree. She’ll crash and burn wherever she goes. My hunch, though, is she imagines herself as a Huckabee of CNN. Then her proactive, anxious intolerance will quickly do her in.

The question would be why CNN wouldn’t see it coming. Maybe my hunch isn’t in the cards at all. . .

The building housing Gray’s Drug got turned into a semi-upscale restaurant about ten years ago, kind of a Michelin establishment as run by hippies or hobbits.

Al’s Breakfast is still there, but probably not for long unless the city can be made to actually stop what is patently against the rules, if not the actual law:

From the Marcy Holmes Master Plan, “Residential building heights should not exceed (4) stories in Dinkytown to preserve the historical character of the area.”

More on this:

From the Marcy Holmes Master Plan, created and adopted by the city council in 2003. “New higher density housing will be limited to the edges of the neighborhood. Any reconstruction in the core of the neighborhood will be limited to single-family homes and townhouses.”

Uh, Menendez is a Democrat – at least nominally

Here are the two emails, sent a month and a half apart, on which TDC is basing its attacks.

Note that neither email mentions Menendez or the Dominican Republic.

I would suggest that you read Sibel Edmonds’s book, Classified Woman, if you want to see how thorough the fbi is in their work. Also, go back and look at the history of the fbi and Dr. Martin Luther King. I sure that story is well enough known that I don’t need to provide links. There are too many examples of the thuggishness and incompetence of the fbi that are well known.

Thanks for the link. I tried to watch, but had to give up.

Pretty scary book isn’t it.

TBogg covered that yesterday.

I missed that post. Accordingly, I must apologize for being repetitious.

I have been unable to read the whole book at one sitting. It is too breathtaking. The deliberate, protected incompetence and vicious attacks for selfprotection by the insiders shows how our law enforcement leaders actually operate.
