Ho hum, destroyed CIA documents…no crime, just protecting Merika
I can’t even imagine what this would be like under a Democrat. The screaming that was done when they found somebody was sneaking out stuff in their socks was un real. But nothing, NOTHING when we learn that the CIA destroyed evidence. How can you even get angry anymore? Our legal systems and the fuktards […]
Monday Open Thread
OK admit it – how many people’s brains are still working in weekend mode? Chat away. Here’s something that caught my attention: A new 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair Poll was released late yesterday, with a variety of quirky questions. CBS News described the poll as intended to be “topical, fun, amusing, illuminating and most importantly, interesting.” […]
Clean and Sober day one
If you didn’t know or care, I was recently in Amsterdam for work and for pleasure. In my mind this was going to be the end of my drinking and what not for at least 6 months. I planned on getting it out of my system while I resided in Utopia for 6 nights and 7 glorious […]
What Will Tom Carper Do to Protect Drug or Insurance Companies This Week?
This is Week 2 of the Finance Committee amending the Chairman’s Mark of the health insurance reform bill, and I wanted to start this week by reminding everyone of Carper’s rather complete abandonment of the voters in Delaware to clearly sit at the table negotiating for and protecting the drug companies and the insurance companies […]
These Laws Only Apply To The Little People
I don’t know how many people have been following the Roman Polanski case this weekend. Roman Polanski, who has been a fugitive from the U.S. for 30 years, was arrested in Switzerland this weekend. The U.S. and Switzerland have an extradition agreement. I find this case particularly infuriating because not only has the media shown […]
ACORN Filmmaker O’Keefe’s Other Videos
The Village Voice did some investigation of supposedly independent filmmaker James O’Keefe (of ACORN pimp and prostitute fame) and found that contrary to what O’Keefe has said that he is a wingnut welfare recipient. James O’Keefe, the activist filmmaker who achieved sudden fame for a series of undercover videos recording ACORN workers, has repeatedly said […]
Late Night Video — the SNL Mocking!
And who gets mocked in this portion of the clip? The Idiot Beck, of course. Whose adventures in spelling are apparently meant to lead a nation or somesuch happy horse you-know-what.
Conservative Icon William Safire Has Died
Conservative icon William Safire died today, according to the New York Times. My condolences to his friends and family. William Safire hardly ever said anything I agreed with, but his wit and style makes him stand out. Safire coined the phrase “nattering nabobs of negativism” among others and had a long-running column on language and […]
Read All About It In the Sunday Papers-September 27, 2009
LEAD STORY-The (UK) Independent: In the Future, We’ll E-Mail Toast. Oh, and Live Forever. A Baby Boomer’s Dream, and IT COULD HAPPEN. The living forever part. Not sure how the Series of Tubes Called the Internet will adapt to melted butter: …or at least that’s what Ray Kurzweil thinks. He has spent his life inventing […]
Weekend Open Thread
A hidden treasure version of your open thread for your weekend. An unemployed amateur treasure hunter found the largest find of Anglo-Saxon treasure ever found. Amazing photos at the link! Full story I would totally wear that! This is totally cool. There’s a website called The Museum of Animal Perspectives. Here’s the armadillo cam:
More Becklash: This Time From All Sides
As we discussed yesterday Glenn Beck has been getting a lot of media attention lately. He’s got a new book coming out, with a book cover that is just unbelievable: Glenn Beck went on CBS News and was interviewed by Katie Couric (is Katie Couric the right wing’s favorite interviewer?) and she asked him to […]
Tom Carper Wants to Give In to the GOP on Health Care
Watch this video of Carper on CNN yesterday — captured by Jed over at dKos:
