Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

The lights are all blinking red.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Reality always gets a vote in the end.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

I really should read my own blog.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

My Bloginality is ESTJ!!!

As an ESTJ, your personality is Extrovert, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. This makes your primary focus on Extraverted Thinking with Introverted Sensing.

This is defined as a SJ personality, which is part of Carl Jung’s Guardian (Security Seeking) type, and more specifically the Supervisors

As a weblogger, you may fufill responsiblities as a leader in group weblogs. If you are really interested in blogging, you’ll follow it through and post regularly. Because you appreciate social order, you may be likely to take on a responsibility just to keep a project going.

People of this type tend to be: energetic, friendly, and outspoken; productive, organized and efficient; realistic and sensible, but often skeptical about new or untested ideas; honest and direct to the point of bluntness; quick decision makers, opinionated, traditional, serious, and accountable.

Whatever.

The latest from Mr. and Mrs. Bubba, aka “The Big Me and the Big She:”

“For me, the Lewinsky imbroglio seemed like just another vicious scandal manufactured by political opponents.”

More than six months later, with the president preparing to testify before a grand jury, Mrs. Clinton was still adamant that her husband had done nothing wrong and was the victim of a “vast right-wing conspiracy.”

Then, on the morning of Aug. 15, 1998, he woke her up, paced at the bedside, and “told me for the first time that the situation was much more serious than he had previously acknowledged.”

“He now realized he would have to testify that there had been an inappropriate intimacy. He told me that what happened between them had been brief and sporadic,” Mrs. Clinton writes.

He was ashamed and knew she would be angry, she recounts.

“I could hardly breathe. Gulping for air, I started crying and yelling at him, ‘What do you mean? What are you saying? Why did you lie to me?’ I was furious and getting more so by the second. He just stood there saying over and over again, ‘I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I was trying to protect you and Chelsea.’ “

Got that- he was lying to protect her. Giggle.

“As a wife, I wanted to wring Bill’s neck,” she says.

Still, she insists, she never stopped loving him.

“The most difficult decisions I have made in my life were to stay married to Bill,” she writes, “and to run for the Senate from New York.”

0 for 2 in the judgement arena. I expect great things from her.

No Need For an Investigation

Call off the dogs. There is no need for an investigation into the CIA’s evidence regarding Iraq’s WMD. No need whatsoever, because Maureen Dowd has already decided they lied:

Before 9/11, the administration had too little intelligence on Al Qaeda, badly coordinated by clashing officials.

Before the Iraq invasion, the administration had too much intelligence on Saddam, torqued up by conspiring officials.

As Secretary of State Colin Powell prepared to make his case for invading Iraq to the U.N. on Feb. 5, a friend of his told me, he had to throw out a couple of hours’ worth of sketchy intelligence other Bush officials were trying to stuff into his speech.

U.S. News & World Report reveals this week that when Mr. Powell was rehearsing the case with two dozen officials, he became so frustrated by the dubious intelligence about Saddam that he tossed several pages in the air and declared: “I’m not reading this. This is $%&*#.”

First America has no intelligence. Then it has $%&*# intelligence.

Why does she have this valuable newspaper real estate?

I am shocked. Robert Samuelson, in an op-ed title “A Costly Freebie,” writes:

Just about every American politician, regardless of party, favors adding a prescription drug benefit to Medicare. It’s a bad idea. The Senate will soon begin considering the latest proposals. We can only hope that bickering among politicians and interest groups — retiree lobbies, drug companies, health insurers — creates a deadlock. A Medicare drug benefit would simply worsen the country’s central budget problem: the huge retirement costs of the baby-boom generation.

I want to kiss him.

The crusade for a drug benefit is mostly a shameless competition for retirees’ votes. It’s democracy in action, because the elderly are the nation’s most powerful voting bloc. In the 2000 election, almost 70 percent of those 65 and over voted; turnout was only slightly lower (64 percent) for the near-elderly (45-64). By contrast, only 35 percent of those 21 to 24 voted. Who cares about them? The elderly vote more, and their lobbies focus single-mindedly on protecting and enhancing Social Security and Medicare benefits.

The perverse paradox is this: Although Social Security and Medicare shape the long-term budget outlook, budget debates largely exclude Social Security and Medicare. Congress should have long ago tempered retirement costs by gradually raising eligibility ages and trimming benefits for wealthier retirees. Congress did slightly increase Social Security’s eligibility age in the 1980s; but the subject hasn’t been revisited. No one wants to upset retirees — present or future.

Amen.

Say It Ain’t Sosa

This stinks:

Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs was ejected when umpires found illegal cork in his shattered bat during Tuesday’s 3-2 Interleague win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Sosa broke his bat in the first inning on a grounder to second base with Chicago runners at second and third.

But crew chief Tim McClelland examined the bat along with the three other umpires immediately after the out was called and the run scored.

What the hell was he thinking- does he want to hit it 800 feet?

What? The BBC lied?

You mean the BBC, in its ridiculous story on the Jessica Lynch rescue, had no idea what the hell they were talking about and may have even been lying? Mercy, what is the world coming to:

A few weeks later, the BBC checked in with a documentary accusing the U.S. forces of firing off blanks in the hospital, a sure sign it was all staged for the cameras to provide great propaganda video of military heroics.

But now, several week later, NBC’s Jim Avila and crew have gone to Nasiriyah and discovered that the truth seems to lie closer to the story initially conveyed by the U.S. military than to the anti-military tales spun by ABC and the BBC.

On Friday’s NBC Nightly News, Avila reported that hospital staff “say the so-called blanks were actually flash-bang grenades used to stun and frighten hospital workers and potential resistance. No bullets or blanks were fired inside the hospital. And the Americans had every reason to expect trouble. Hospital workers confirm the Iraqi military used the basement as a headquarters.” A doctor told Avila that “what he calls the big heads of the Iraqi army left just six hours before the raid.” Avila added that “the Iraqis told NBC News the American soldiers’ behavior was humane.” For instance, when one of the physicians said the handcuffs “hurt and they were too tight,” the “soldiers immediately loosened them.”

Have no fear- being wrong and on the left means never having to apologize- besides, Dennis Kucinich is going to really get to the bottom of this.

By the way, this picture is something the Beeb and the rest of her willing accomplices (Robert Scheer?) in the anti-Bush, anti-military propganda war might want to pay attention to in the future.

It is, of course, going to be difficult to explain to them. It is a reporter investigating a story, getting an idea about what may have ACTUALLY happened, and then reporting it. Novel concept, hunh? Much more preferrable to snarky op-eds and half-assed blog posts from left-wing web sites.

I will be waiting for the corrections to start appearing… I will be waiting a long time…
