    Sigh. I feel horrible because I honestly don’t give a flying fig about the AP, the IRS or Benghazi. The latter is easy for me because we all know the right is full of it. The IRS issue seems to be more nuanced than targeting poor wittle right wingers, and in the end, the expectation that POTUS should know what some middle managers in Cincinnati are doing is beyond nonsensical.

    As for the AP story, I’m bugged by the use of the world spying when this was done via a subpoena, and the press’ concern seems to be entirely based on the fact that they are the subject of the search.

    Oh well, I’m going to meditate and try to rewire my outrage meter, and hopefully by this time tomorrow I’ll be posting on Dailykos calling for Holder’s resignation.

    A prominent Japanese politician has described as “necessary” the system by which women were forced to become prostitutes for World War II troops.

    Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto said on Monday that the “comfort women” gave Japanese soldiers a chance “to rest”.

    On Tuesday, Japanese ministers tried to distance themselves from his remarks.  Source

    Fools on the hill.

    A construction company has essentially destroyed one of Belize’s largest Mayan pyramids with backhoes and bulldozers to extract crushed rock for a road-building project, authorities announced on Monday.

    The head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology, Jaime Awe, said the destruction at the Nohmul complex in northern Belize was detected late last week. The ceremonial center dates back at least 2,300 years and is the most important site in northern Belize, near the border with Mexico.  Source

    I think the entire e-mail, the report I read showed the entire e-mail, and what it showed is Republicans who were leaking these press, these e-mails that had been shared with Congress didn’t just do that, they decided to fabricate portions of an e-mail and make up portions of an e-mail in order to fit a political narrative

    It certainly looks as if the actual email has been doctored for one reason or another.

    The proud happy dog in the cartoon has the exact face my puppy has had on since she found out she could get out of the fence on Sunday. I spent 2 hours patching a place below one part of the fence, which had evidence of digging. It had washed out some in recent rains, giving access. Or egress? Thought I had the problem solved, a lot of the fence has chicken wire at the bottom already from when the big dog was a pup.

    But still she kept getting out. Then she’d bark to get my attention before running off. “Look what I did, Mommy!! I’m proud of myself, and will now terrorize the neighborhood to celebrate!” I tried the nice voice, the stern voice, offering rides and treats, but she had found the world! She went to all the houses nearby with dogs and started shit up with all of them through the fences. I tried the old ploy of sitting down and pretending to cry so she would come. She came, but stayed just out of arm’s reach, canny bitch. I would just let her come home on her own (safe area) except for her getting all these neighbor dogs worked up.

    On mothers day I was running around my neighborhood on streets and through back yards at midnight trying to catch her. Barefoot. I thought of how I have mocked John for running the streets in his robe and slippers, and how much worse I apparently was. Sorry, John! My son called to wish me a happy during the dogquest and all I did was whine and moan, sorry Son!

    It turned out she was going over the fence in the corner – she just scrambled up and over it. It’s 4′ high! Crazy Gracie. Next project will apparently be better fencing.

Spousal unit wanted me to just throw it in the garbage but I can’t throw a pet into the trash, even if it is a fish.

Then again, maybe I’m wrong, maybe a change would actually lower viewership. And I only used Sullivan’s blog (yes, i know how you guys feel about him and I’m not a fan either) as a model because my understanding is that his blog has a very large audience, but maybe I’m wrong about that too.

    Signs not good for lousy corporate media doing actual reporting.

    TPM says ABC reaction to passing off notes some one took on administration “Benghazi!” emails as the emails themselves, and changes in wording (as opposed to extracts that are cherry picked) seems to be “so what?”.

    The reporter himself seems to realize that there is a problem, for whatever that is worth in terms of how the press covers tings (my hunch is it don’t mean much at all).

    Clinton was the first President I ever voted for, and the media was in constant scandal mode with that admin. If it wasn’t Hilary offending housewives ever where because she didn’t want to bake cookies, it was Clinton and his arrogant group of neophytes from Are-kansas.

    Then came the meat and potatoes, in which both Hilary and Bill were serial murderers working their way through all of their enemies. Quite amazing when you think about the dissemination of rumor during the 90s given it was pre-internet.

    What the GOP doesn’t realize is that because of that, Hillary is pretty much immunized against their dirty tricks. They’ve spent so much time turning her into the epitome of evil it actually back fired, and I’m honestly thinking the same of Obama. Keep in mind, people in the majority like Obama personally, job approval aside, and impeaching Obama isn’t going to do anything remotely positive for the Republicans.

    @Hill Dweller: Not sure whether the reporter was intentionally filing a crooked story, or he was caught out swanking around like a pompous jackass and lying in order to impress us rubes as being so close to the ‘playuhs’.

    In any case, that jackass at least realizes there is a problem, maybe he doesn’t realize he is part of it. ABC just doesn’t seem to give a damn. Yeah, we pump out misleading inaccurate garbage and call it news.

    Maybe CNN’s hilariously horrid performance during the Boston bombings ticked up their ratings a bit, and we have a new corporate news business model?

    Edit: And will AP say “yeah, we go ABC one better, we pump out self-serving inaccurate BS and call it news, and its all about US!, so eff off” ?

    I accidentally posted this and this in another, not open thread. Pics of Otto, Juno, and Chuckie on their first walk together.
    No Tim F quality photography, but it’s as good as most of Cole’s pet pics…

    @RK:

    Second, has anyone ever thought to make this blog a little more diverse, allowing posts on things other than politics?

    Haven’t scrolled through all the comments, so maybe (probably) someone else has already responded, but just off the top of my head:

    Pets
    Gardens
    Music
    Movies
    Science
    Comics
    Missing persons
    Media
    Whiprounds for natural disaster relief
