Scotty's Stories...

certainly seem to be compelling to the accommodating bozo media that missed it the 1st time. The incredulous looks they are exhibiting over the fact that the Bushies lied repeatedly and as matter of policy are beyond embarrassing...I guess practicing in front of mirror probably helps but I think anyone who expresses the slightest bit of surprise over the mendacious tendencies of the Bushies is either an idiot or a liar...sorry but those are the only 2 choices.

Russ was all get-tough with Scotty today when he is on an island.....carrying water is dirty business.

What's that? CA constitution or a reprint of some lengthy document? Well, it's long that's for sure.....those are names of the military killed in Iraq and Afganistan from CA. 492 people dead and countless more lives destroyed. Funny how a big bad liberal state like Cali makes the largest sacrifice for the Bush wars. Let's face it......if we concentrated on Afgani.....that would have been over long ago. So sad.

According to the DEA, evidence includes 4 pounds of cocaine, 50 pounds of marijuana, 48 hydroponic marijuana plants, 350 ecstasy pills, psilocybin (mushrooms), 30 vials of hash oil, methamphetamine, various illicit prescription drugs, one shotgun, three semi-automatic pistols, three brass knuckles and $60,000 in cash.

The odd thing here is that she didn't resign on Fri. night like most of the disgraced Bushies. I wonder if that means they already have a bigger name lined up to take a dive for this Fri........

So that's what happened to...

the Attorney General!

Surged?

or Escalated? If the uptick in troop strength was intended to be temporary I guess you could call it a surge.....but it's not temporary is it?

Now can we call it a Escalation?

Lindsey Graham..

Joe Lieberman and head cheer leader McCain were especially annoying yesterday during the Senate hearing.....all competing to see how far they could nudge their noses up Patraeus' ass....not a pleasant sight at all. Pretty pathetic that the esteemed General and Crock of shit couldn't answer one question without providing cover for the war criminals running this side show. Progess is all over the place....what you can't see it? Try this kool aid and try now....nothing? hmmmm, that's weird because we can all see it.

On the other side, Biden was pretty good as was Boxer. Biden got Cockbiter to admit that AQ in Afgan/Paki was far more of a legit target to eliminate if we were serious about ensuring future US safety. Like the drunk looking for his car keys under the street lamp when he lost the keys in the alley....the light is under the lamp so he looking there where he can see....

Hillary and Barrack were not really factors in my opinion. Pretty much a waste of time over all as the Bushies will continue to get as many people killed as they can before they are run out of town.

Marathon Blogging...

Well, halfski anyway for me. Palos Verdes Marathon is 2nd to Boston as the longest continuously run marathon in the US. 42nd annual coming up in May and the course is a challenging and hilly but picturesque run along ocean cliffs. I've been getting the bug for some longer runs and plan on testing a few 10 milers to gauge my ankle stress fracture durability. Looks nice...

Bush's War...

the 2 part Frontline series on PBS began last night and while it was good overall so far, I think that there was nothing groundbreaking. It seems to me that when interviewing some of the war cheerleaders, it could be pointed out that they are actually proven liars and despicable human beings. I would hope that the 2nd part airing tonight might draw some conclusions and lay out for some of the less cerebral amoung us the incontrovertable realities that seem to be missing from the discussion.

Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Chalabi, Pearle, Wolfie, Feith, Cambone have far more innnocent blood on their hands than Bin Laden ever will but no one seems to mention it.

5 Years of War...

but most people are indifferent to the sacrifice of the people actually fighting it. It might help if the media covered it more than Britney Spears...here is a link that can help change that.

Speaking of sacrifice....did you see that Bush thanked his Treasury Sec for working over the weekend while the economy tanks? I mean, if that doesn't convince you that this Admin is dead serious about the state of the economy and determined to do whatever it takes (including working weekends) to stop that bleeding...well then you just don't get it. Weekends....Can you believe it, this guy worked over the WEEKEND. What a patriot!

Shelly Duncan caused a bit of a stir with his hard slide into 2nd base during yesterdays spring training game against the Rays. The Rays were none to happy and called it a "dirty play" but what really happened was that Shelly just didn't hear the coaches yelling at him to "Serpentine Shel, Serpentine!".

It looks like..

our local right wingish rag, the Daily Breeze in Torrance, CA was the source for 1st round of Ferraro racist comments. How Team Clinton thinks this kind of Mr. Kettle meet Mr. Black nonsense helps them, I can't fathom. Certainly it seems to me that a beat up old hag like Ferraro wouldn't want to contrast credentials and draw attention to the fact that she wasn't likely to be elected to the local school board much less Congress without the help of her mobbed up husband. Take it outside Gerrie.

Notable was the idea that he hadn't heard that gas might be going to $4/gallon...HADN'T HEARD IT....nice.

Asked about what hope he might give to working Americans worried about the economic problems they are faced with....Bush offered up making the tax cuts permanent....which are set to expire in a few YEARS. Yup, that oughta provide plenty of hope and comfort knowing that rich folks won't have worry about paying more taxes years from now.

Big Sunday in Manhattan..

15 foot waves in Manhattan Beach, CA prompted lifeguards and police to close the concrete pier yesterday minutes after these pictures were taken.

The Iowa Results...

are in and they are not pretty for a certain former NYC mayor. I don't know why the people of tiny Iowa are held up as the crystal ball gazers that will point the country in the right direction to elect a president but they apparently hate Rudy's guts. At this point he would be lucky to garner 5% support...in other words, he's toast. Hilarious.

Almost New Years...

So I'll remind of a few comments previously posted...by me.


the most revolting behavior of the Bush Gang before, during and if ever after the war but the treatment of injured and maimed troops has to rank pretty high on a long, long list. The WaPo approached the story correctly in my view, bypassing the Walter Reed public relations officers to expose a very compelling and sad story.

No need to recount the mistreatment to those who deserve much better as it is gaining pretty good traction in most media outlets.

Let's instead look at what the larger picture confirms about the true Bush priorities during a time of war. Some folks may conclude that Bush actually hates the troops given the support so lacking after the wounded veterans return home.

I highly doubt that because I believe that he and his admin are so detached and indifferent to others that whether veterans suffer or not, are killed or not...name your "or not", they just aren't that into it. Oh sure, when troops are killed, it is a political inconvenience but if fatalities carried any weight whatsoever, I think we'd have had much different war strategery.

The fact that returning troops are being shortchanged is pretty consistent with all previous treatment so I guess surprise is not an emotion I'd associate with this news.

The horrific stories coming out of Walter Reed may in fact do more to highlight the Bush incompetence than any other war reporting thus far. It is truly shameful to have occurred and equally shameful if not telling that no high level Bushies have forward to reassure the American public that this is not acceptable.

How long before the long knives come out for anyone talking about this one?...I'm guessing the pushback starts tomorrow. Look for calls for Hull and Priest to be investigated for obtaining unauthorized access to WR starting tomorrow..... Does it embolden the enemy to acknowledge that the people running this clusterfuck don't give a shit about soldiers in Iraq or if and when they ever return?


So sad.....Johnny Get Your Gun part deaux? (sp)

An observation from a Dead concert

After the show, on the way out, we saw someone up on a Jersey barrier haranguing the crowd, and I heard him say, "What you do with your peanut butter is your own business!" As good a summing up of this show as any, I think.

seems to indicate an accepted conception of Jersey....as if sayin..."well, he's from Jersey"...but, truth be told we do go thru alot of peanut butter.

DETROIT - Jasmine McCall scored 23 points in Wayne State’s 132-13 rout of Temple Baptist on Saturday.

The 119-point margin of victory was three points shy of the NCAA Division II record. West Texas A&M defeated National Christian 155-33 on Nov. 29, 2001.

The Warriors made 58 field goals, four shy of the NCAA mark of 62 set by Norfolk State on Nov. 20, 1990, against Fayetteville State.

I don't know who was/is on then other team but does it need to be put on CNN?

Paper of Record..

details some of the CIA torture tapes with astonishing obliviousness to the "no shit Sherlock" factor.

One thing missing from this graph would be the who and why on legal vs. political...which would seem to be pertinent to the discussion of WHO was covering majority party ass....

But both Porter J. Goss, then a Republican congressman from Florida and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and Representative Jane Harman of California, the ranking Democrat, thought destroying the tapes would be legally and politically risky. C.I.A. officials did not press the matter.

Would it not be prudent to point out that Goss had control over any oversight? Just asking...but in case there is any confusion, Harman thought destroying the tapes was illegal...and Goss weighed in on the political implications.

The Repugs You Tube...

debate was not easy to watch or listen to on the radio and I did a bit of both last week. High entertainment but the pandering to low IQ'ers gets on your nerves after a while.

Probably why my mind wandered to baseball and I mentally gave the guys a quick scouting report....

Guliani: Overated in all facets of the game. Thinks he's a power hitter and swings for the fence everytime....some bloops that turned into doubles due to fielder errors have him thinking he's in line for a future batting title. Weak arm and limited range in the field.

Huckster: Line drive hitter who might learn to hit for average. Good defensive skills and doesn't try to do to much. Fans seem to appreciate his hustle.

Thompson: Over the hill and can't catch up with hard stuff. Fans remember his legend more than actual performance. Too slow to advance even if he does get on base with a walk. No intimidation factor here.

Paul: Surprising opposite field power but can't run the bases...will chase breaking stuff out of the zone. Not agile enough to play in the field but plays in the wrong league with no DH.

Romney: Switch hitter who can only hit fastballs but swings at everything. Can be picked off on base and prone to errors in the field. Kinda guy that likes to admire his own home runs and might be due for a dusting from the right pitcher.

McCain: Another switch hitter who has changed leagues too many times to be effective as clean up guy. Used to play hard ...Had high upside years ago but now is at the tail end of a long term deal and no longer worth the money...has embarrassed himself and his team more and more often.

Trancedo: Replacement player with no discernible skills

Hunter: Couldn't carry Trancedo's jock.
