Hoppin' At The Kangaroo Court
With their time getting short before the adults return in January, the panic is growing exponentially among all those who've been partying so hard these last eight years.0 comments
Those in the bunker at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. may still be holding out in denial that it's over, but it's clear that everyone else who's taken part in this bacchanalia is now scared shitless about the fallout and repercussions of the GOP going the way of the Whigs in November. They know payback's coming, and they'll be in the crosshairs.
We're now watching the "just following orders" crowd running amok, trying to wipe up and dispose of all the evidence that links them to that hole in the wall above the couch, all the barf in their parents' designer sheets and that SUV sitting in the pool.
Judge critical of Guantanamo war crimes case is dismissed
As obvious as it is disgusting.
What I fear is that they get terrified enough that they start pulling guys out of their cells and just shoot them down. They can't give evidence if they're dead, right?

It Was Just A Matter Of Time...

NY Daily News: Illegal guns cited in rise of shootings and murders
It seems we return to the pre-Clinton/Dinkins years, when Bush/Koch had left this country & city awash in guns, drugs and death. Although Rudy claims credit for every human advance since electricity, the real, nasty battle's footwork to wrestle down the drug/gun scourge was in the early '90s."You know things are getting hard if you say, ‘Thank God, my child was only wounded,'" said Harlem resident Stacey Briggs, who ducked for cover when shots rang out.It's no great shock that after eight years of Republican rule, the place is a cesspool of violence again.
I hope all those happy GOPers (and the lobbyists who love them) had a real fun time for themselves, as the rest of us are stuck cleaning up the sewage.
Landslide.

SEC reportedly examining Bear Stearns trading records
Who'da thunk it?
The giggle inherent in this story is how—now that they're on the way out—any functionary in a Bush 27-controlled federal agency would stomp around loudly, as if they had any interest (or strength) for actually doing their jobs.
Update: Since this story, a few former SEC heads sent a stern letter to Treasury Secretary Paulson, objecting to the Bush 28% gang's plan to re-tool and gut the SEC entirely, making it merely an advisory entity, rather than a regulatory vehicle. You know how much everyone hates those regulatory vehicles.
These former SEC heads assert that the SEC is necessary to ward off abuses of the system within the financial sector, and to punish those who muddy the pool for the average investor.
How quaint of them. They DO rather miss the whole point here, don't they?

The Real Story The MSM Misses
Landslide.0 comments
Ya think?
Turnout has held constant from the very beginning of primary season. Every state has reported the same types of numbers. Of course, Timmy, Wolf, The Post and The Times and AP have been all over this story, and all of its implications.

Cindy's Money isn't enough...
So I'm taking YOURS!
NOW!
("Umm, fork it over, OK, bub? Uhhh, we're in a little bit of a hurry, here.")
John McCain and the GOP leadership are now in a frenzy, since they are all too aware that McCain's desperate actions to stay afloat in the early primaries have placed him in extreme danger of breaking all the campaign finance reform laws that he worked so very publicly in the Senate to pass.
They've had time to rectify things over the last couple of months—but just like dragging your feet in paying that electric bill—they've run out of time, increasing McCain's jeopardy and everyone's stress levels, while stunting their ability to fix things.
The deep embarrassment, bad press and the hypocrisy—not to mention the wide opening for Democrats to hit his campaign below the water line and sink it before it even gets started—are bad enough. With this astonishing screw up with public funds, McCain has blindly gotten himself into real legal trouble. Every GOPer today, from Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Bush 27% on down, clearly realizes that their "presumptive candidate," i.e., the guy they thought they were merely handing the landslide turd to, actually faces the real prospect of being incarcerated before he could be inaugurated.
So, in true lawless GOPer fashion, the White House has moved to rig the game once again—but without the style and panache that always afforded them what they wanted, back when nobody was paying attention or raising a fuss under One Party Rule. The GOP has slipped sadly, from slicing the Constitution up with surgical precision to playing Whack-A-Mole with pesky laws they've yet to neuter.
So, the bright lights in the White House send a Hallmark card to the Dems in Congress:"Hey, I know! Let's make a deal: We're allowed to stack the Federal Election Commission with slimeballs who will help us bury ALL of John McCain's screw-ups, so we can deny you the White House, and we'll let you vote down a guy you don't like, so you can go on the TV and the Internets tubes and say you won something. OK? Sound good?"Even those kids in class listening to My Pet Goat can see this one coming, and can smell how very foul it is.
Oh, if only it looked that blatant to the Dems in Congress! One can only pray.
Question for those voters in the MSM's mythical "Center":
If John McCain clearly and blatantly is trying to steal YOUR tax money just to get to the White House, how in heaven's name can he ever be relied upon to manage it if he actually gets into the White House?

Today's question:0 comments
Someone please explain to me, why is it psychologically impossible for a Republican to remain faithful to his/her spouse?"For a good time, call: the Republican National Committee! 202.863.8500 Guaranteed to get you drunk and laid!"
Whew...
Now there are some horny Democrats out there, sure, and the wingnuts toss their names around like they're trading baseball cards, but these Dems are individuals.
These GOP guys put SEX in as a Republican campaign plank. It's a mass GOP psychosis.
I think it's what they offer guys to get them to run for office."You can have men, women, boys, girls... whatever your heart desires. And yes, Rick, you can have the cute little Airedale over there. But, geeesh, don't tell anyone you got it from us, OK?"
Vito Fossella Admits to Extramarital Affair, Drunkenness and Daddyhood
The part I loved:Mr. Fossella ... told officers that he was on his way to Grimm Street, where Ms. Laura Fay (his paramour) lives, to visit a sick daughter.
The mind boggles.
He's telling the arresting officers that he was driving drunk because he was on his way to visit a sick daughter?
Who's not his wife's daughter? And who obviously would love to see that her daddy's concern for her was such that he'd leave a bar or wherever, risk the lives of the decent people of Virginia on the road, risk arrest and the destruction of his political career and his marriage to, umm, you know, that OTHER woman who's not Mommy, and come breathe some 86 proof love on her?
Wow. Do these GOPers know how to throw a "Family Values" party, OR WHAT!!??
Anyone hear what Vito's pastor has been saying lately?

Not just the potential boss, mind you. The whole group he'd bring in with him. Now, THERE'S a way to conduct both foreign and domestic policy."Don't worry about preparations: that hurricane won't hit New Orleans...I've got my lucky dime!"

Remember, even with all those talismans in his pocket, McCain STILL got his ass shot down bombing North Vietnam.
Remember, also, that this story came from the far right, wing-nut press! (It's good to have friends behind you!)
