Washington Redskins lose to Seattle Seahawks......that is probably excellent news for John McCain...
Or so I'm sure we'll be led to believe at some point.

Huck's Man Norris..
is known to be a bit of local dipshit in SoCal but the wifey's sudden interest in all things political seems to be at odds with the late night infomercials we are more accustomed to...maybe she is the foreign affairs consultant that has given the Huckster the bonfides those meticulous republican Iowan's demand of a candidate?...All's I know is that if you look at Hucker's post win speech (which I guess was not in Iowa)..the Norris's gave great "head nods" behind the podium with each new christiancodewordyoucantunderstandunlessyouarebatshitcrazyalready utterance that Huck could muster.
Let's make something perfectly clear...if some weird thing happens and Huck and his new Norris friends become leaders...I'm moving out of the country. I'll be done if that is the future.

PS...you need to just click on the song you like on the right side...my rec was the Dylan tune but there is a treasure trove here....enjoy.
Massive Storm is...
hitting most of CA today and overnight. In the High Sierra Donner Pass, forcasts are for up to 10 feet of snow and wind gusts up to 140 MPH..think about that for a minute...whoa.
Many road closures expected so I guess some folks will have to hunker down. Here's hoping they have some nuts stored for winter otherwise some menu items might be a bit gamey if you know what I mean. They're kinda known for it in those parts though....no biggie.

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)

Point/Counterpoint..
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.
Kinda Uncomfortable...
No?
Isn't this like giving a trophy to very skilled players who beat the wheelchair guys?
I don't know who was/is on then other team but does it need to be put on CNN?

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.

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....
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.

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.

This Isn't Exactly...
man bites dog..but why, why doesn't any serious media cover the "religious" mafia and how they empty the pockets of their dipshit followers? Even so, I'm guessing they are Republicans and will always be so....good luck with that.
Bhutto Assassinated....
but not by a tiger.... It's a big story but can you imagine if she was killed by a tiger?
Now, that would have been sad but priceless in... ya know a sad kinda way that assissinations are....but still, if you're gonna get whacked in Paki...you'd think a tiger mauling would be a pretty cool way to go.
