Go Murtha Go
CNN's Wolf Blitzer's interview Sunday with retired Marine Col. and Congress Rep. John Murtha really nailed down the facts about Bush and his quagmire in Iraq.
Anyone remember Bush saying during his first campaign that he wasn't into nation building? He lied then and he's still lying now.
Murtha said Saddam has been deposed, elections have been held; now it's time to get our troops the hell out of Iraq.
The Iraqis don't want us there.
They won't learn to fight insurgencies if American troops are there doing it for them.
They have their democracy now, it's time for them to take off the training wheels and do the work of growing THEIR version of democracy for themselves.
Bush's contuinual ranting about his demands for victory in Iraq is ridiculous.
He has no plan. He can't even define what a victory would look like.
He doesn't know what he's doing, and never has.
He speaks of democracy but he denies it to the American people by his illegal, unconstitutional activities.
Anyone who still believes in Bush as a leader is seriously delusional.
Murtha completely debunked Bush today, without rancor and with old fashioned common sense.
Bush is giving yet another speech tonight. Recycling cliches and meaningless slogans, no doubt. Anyone care to make bets on how many times he mentions 9/11?

An Impeachable Offense?
You're Damn Right it is.
At first I thought Bush admitting he had authorized illegal spying on Americans was just another scandal of the week that only a few million of us would find outrageous.
But the more I read about it, the more I see that this time he really showed himself to be the petty little dictator he is.
Sunday Newspaper editorials all over America are drawing the line-- not just with his arrogance in ignoring existing laws but for his unapologetic, even cavalier determination to continue tapping phones and reading e-mail without first going through the courts.
Here are a few samples:
NY Times Editorial: Bush "Secretly And Recklessly Expanded The Govt.'s Powers In Dangerous And Unnecessary Ways"…
Kansas City Star: “The Struggle With Foreign Enemies Does Not Simply Give Him A Blank Check”…
Denver Post Editorial: “Adm. Has Lost Its Sense Of Balance Between Essential Anti-Terrorism Tools And Encroachment On Liberties”…
LA Times Editorial: “Stunning,” “One Of The More Egregious Cases Of Governmental Overreach”…
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: “Unacceptable Actions Of A Police State”…
St. Petersburg Times Editorial: “So Dangerously Ill-Conceived And Contrary To This Nation's Guiding Principles”…
From my research, there was no exigent reason for Bush to flout the laws and authorize wiretapping and e-mail spying without first getting court orders.
In fact, the way the laws are set up, the courts allow for the spying to commence even before they issue a warrant, just so long as a warrant is sought soon after the surveillance begins.
Bush never bothered.
Is he trying to tell us he didn't have the power to summon any judges quickly enough to obtain warrants? He's the president. He gets to wake up judges.
His arrogance and disregard for the law knows no bounds. This stunt proves it.
Authorizing surveillance without first seeking a court order is a crime, plain and simple.
The Federal Communications Act criminalizes surveillance without a warrant.
It is an impeachable offense.
If nothing is done to stop this maniac, that Constitutional right we Americans have to bear arms might become relevant even to gun-haters like me.
If Bush won't defend the Constitution, the American public may have to. This man has to step down, and soon.
Enough!
You're Damn Right it is.

The Sleeping Giants Are Finally Awakening!
Dig this:
-A key Republican committee chairman put the Bush administration on notice Friday that his panel would hold hearings into a report that the National Security Agency eavesdropped without warrants on people inside the United States. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said he would make oversight hearings by his panel next year "a very, very high priority." "There is no doubt that this is inappropriate," said Specter, a Pennsylvania Republican and chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
-"The Patriot Act has gone too far. Secret renditions should be stopped. Torture must be outlawed. Our military should not spy on our own people. The Senate has spoken: Let us secure our country, but not by destroying our liberties." - US Senator Robert Byrd.
-Pentagon analysts appear not to have followed guidelines that require the deletion of information on American citizens and groups from a counterterrorism database within three months if they pose no security threats, Pentagon officials said on Thursday. As a result, dozens of alerts on anti-war meetings and peaceful protests appear to have remained in the database, even though analysts had decided that those involved presented no threat to military bases or personnel, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the program is classified..."
It's about time these lazy old fossils in the Senate start wising the hell up.
Can charging BushCo with war crimes be far off? Pray.

Curses! Snidley Whiplash Bush Foiled Again!
The Senate on Friday rejected attempts to reauthorize several provisions of the USA Patriot Act as infringing too much on Americans' privacy and liberty, dealing a huge defeat to the Bush administration and Republican leaders.
In a crucial vote early Friday, the bill's Senate supporters were not able to get the 60 votes needed to overcome a threatened filibuster by Sens. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., and Larry Craig, R-Idaho, and their allies. The final vote was 52-47...
This is great news.
Bush may consider the U.S. Constitution just a "goddamned piece of paper," but I'm glad to see the Senate is waking from its 5-year coma and tapping the brakes on this freak train run amok.

Secret Code
After numerous rounds of "We don't even know if Osama is still alive," Osama himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own handwriting to let him know that he was still in the game.
Bush opened the letter and it appeared to contain a coded message:
370HSSV-0773H
Bush was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Condi Rice. Condi and her aides had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it so it went to the CIA, then to the NSA. With no clue as to its meaning, they eventually asked Britain's MI-6 for help
MI-6 cabled the White House:
"Tell the president he's holding the message upside down."

Project Runway
Ooooh, tonight the contestants were designing for the latest version of Barbie, whose eyes are now set wider and whose lips are suddenly plumped up through Barbie collagen injections. Barbie looks like a bit of a 'ho now, and I couldn't be more pleased.
The designers had to design an outfit for a live model and one to match for Barbie herself.
As usual, Santino designed a lovely little frock in shades of light blue and mauve.
But when he realized his dress wasn't chosen as number one, he glared at the judges like he wanted to murder them, then stomped off as well as any mincing queen can stomp.
Nick Vero's Barbie dress was by far the prettiest, hippest and best design, so he earned the win. But when he went backstage to the kisses and hugs of his fag hags and faggy peers, Santino was seen sitting on the floor in the corner, sulking like a little bitch.
Here's a nice link so you can see who I am talking about:
http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=3735
And here's a Zipdrive rundown on each character:
Raymundo: Voted out tonight- horrible Barbie dress, the "Halloween table cloth w/ burlap bolero jacket"
Kara: She'll never make it unless JC Penney is short on designers
Chloe: She's got some real talent
Emmet: Now here is a faggot I could hang around with. He's classy.
Marla: Thin ice, baby.
Santino: The clear villain & design genius. Looks like Bin Laden. Acts like Liza Minelli, on and off the vodka.
Kirsten: Never mind her- she's gone.
Heidi: Zzzzzzzzzz is she gone? I forget.
Diana: Asian computer/techno fashion girl from RISD my sister likes, but I remain iffy.
Nick Veros: Talented and everyone loves him but Santino the prick.
Daniel Franco: Quit blinking, you scared rabbit. And stop using variations of the same pattern for everything, damn it.
Guadalupe: Too weird, bland color palette, dumb haircut.
Andrae: Crybaby who loves designing balloon skirts that would make Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen look like cows.
Daniel: Under the radar.
Zulema: Urban fashions for the BET set.
John: A fat boy won last season. Too bad, punkin.

A Snippet From Maureen Dowd
Never ask a guy who's in a bubble if he's in a bubble. He can't answer. 'Cause he's in a bubble.
But the NBC anchor Brian Williams gamely gave it a shot, showing the president the Newsweek cover picturing him trapped in a bubble. "This says you're in a bubble," Brian told W. "You have a very small circle of advisers now. Is that true? Do you feel in a bubble?"
"No, I don't feel in a bubble," Bubble Boy replied, unable to see the bubble because he's in it. "I feel like I'm getting really good advice from very capable people and that people from all walks of life have informed me and informed those who advise me." He added, "I'm very aware of what's going on." He swiftly contradicted himself by admitting that "this is the first time I'm seeing this magazine" - his version of his dad's Newsweek "Wimp Factor" cover - and that he doesn't read newsmagazines....
Brian struggled to learn whether W. read anything except one-page memos.
Talking about his mom, Bubble Boy returned to the idea of the bubble: "If I'm in a bubble, well, if there is such thing as a bubble, she's the one who can penetrate it." "I'll tell the guys at Newsweek," the anchor said impishly. "Is that who put the bubble story?" W. asked. First he didn't know about it, and now he's forgotten it already?
That's the alluring, memory-cleansing beauty of the bubble. The idea that W. is getting good advice from very capable people is silly - administration officials have blown it on everything from the occupation and natural disasters to torture.
In the bubble, they can torture while saying they don't. They can pretend that Iraqi forces are stronger than they are. They can try to frighten people with talk of Al Qaeda's dream of a new Islamic caliphate - their latest attempt to scare Americans into supporting the war they ginned up.
"Whether or not it needed to happen," the president told the anchor, "I'm still convinced it needed to happen." The Bubble Boy can even contradict himself and not notice....
W.'s contention that he's informed by people from all walks of life is a joke, as is his wacky assertion that he can "reach out" to the public more than Abraham Lincoln because he has Air Force One.
Lincoln actually went to the front in his war, with Minie balls whizzing by. No phony turkey for him. The president may fly over all walks of life in Air Force One or drive by them and hide behind dark-tinted windows.
In his bubble, he floats through a comforting world of doting women, respectful military audiences, loyal Republican donors and screened partisan groups - with protesters, Democrats, journalists, critics and coffins of dead soldiers kept at bay.
The president's bubble requires constant care. It's not easy to keep out huge tragedies like Katrina, or flawed policies like Iraq. As Newsweek noted, a foreign diplomat "was startled when Secretary of State Rice warned him not to lay bad news on the president. 'Don't upset him,' she said..."
.............................
Don't upset him? Is that what things have come to?
Why is our nation (and apparently our cabinet) walking on eggshells to protect this stupid little alkie tyrant from having temper tantrums?
Condi sounds like an indulgent mommy. "Don't upset our little Georgie, he has some teensy weensy anger issues."
Bubble Boy is a bitchy little punk. Can you imagine working for this guy?
I wish his ass-kissing cabinet would intentionally try to piss him off and place bets on the exact date of his implosion. They may as well; their association with him has forever branded them as creepy losers.
And I hope if the implosion occurs, it's televised. On Fox News.

More Tales of Earl Abel's
I went to a swell concert at Trinity University with some friends last night and afterwards most of us ended up at Earl Abel's soon-to-be-defunct coffee shop.
We landed at Earl's around 10 p.m. and the place was flooded with elderly people.
It looked like some old folks home had a rebellion, because there were dozens of blue hairs there, eating big dinners as if 10 p.m. was the early bird special.
After going there for the last 35 years, I was amazed to learn they are famous for their eclairs.
I'd never had one, and didn't even know they sold them there.
How could I have missed that?
Diabetes be damned, I love eclairs and will ride my stationary bike for an hour if it means getting to eat one...especially a famous one from Earl's.
Now that Earl's is soon to close, it seems they sell out of eclairs by around 10 a.m.
Greedy people come in early and order to-go eclairs by the dozen. It's become a frenzied shark race to see how fast they can clean them out of the damn things.
Now I feel challenged, so I simply have to cruise by early some morning and grab a pile of them, just to say I did.
When we left around 11 last night, the place was still hopping with geezers chowing down on fried chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes and soft yeast rolls.
The dessert selection was nearly depleted.
All they had left was a few slices of pumpkin, apple and pecan pie and a couple of three-layer cakes that were almost totally excavated.
Our waiter was a big Russian dude named Eugene.
He loved telling us the latest rumor-- that Earl's may stay open a few more months because Earl's son Jerry is raking in the dough hand over fist, and it's up to him if and when he sells the site to the big bad condo developer.
We asked why they don't just build the damn condo skyscraper and leave Earl's as the first floor tenant, but I have a hunch it can't be done because of parking space scarcity.
Condo developers don't make much off parking pavement, those greedy bastards.
Then we asked where the baker planned to go once the place shuts down. We are hatching a plan to hunt him down and pry the eclair recipe from his grip.
Damn. I am hallucinating eclairs now.
I can just picture that golden custard oozing out of its chocolate-iced puff pastry cylinder.
I must have one. Soon.

Tookie Williams: A Lose/Lose Solution
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today rejected clemency for Stanley Tookie Williams, convicted murderer and one of the founders of the Crips. The decision was announced moments after a federal appeals court in San Francisco turned down Williams's request for a stay of execution.
Jesus. Both sides screwed up.
Tookie should have confessed to whatever he did and stop denying he did anything. He was the founder of the fuckin' Crips-- of course he did something to someone.
Ahnold should have commuted his sentence to life w/o parole with the proviso he (a) admit and show remorse for his crimes and (b) continue to educate kids against gangs.
Executing him will do nothing to soothe the bubbling cauldron of racism exchanged between black, brown, yellow and white in Colliefornia.
Way to go, Herr Governor.

Just a Goddamned Piece of Paper?
During a White House meeting with GOP congressmen, some warned Bush of resistance to extending onerous provisions of the Patriot Act. In anger, Bush may have revealed his true feelings – that the Constitution is just a inconvenience to be brushed aside. The reporter sources Bush’s quote, that the Constitution is just a “goddamned piece of paper” to three anonymous persons who were at the meeting.
The reporter who is the source for this is Doug Thompson, a long-time journalist with DC connections and the founder of Capitol Hill Blue. This piece appears in “The Rant” section of that Blog.
