On the route.. 28 August 2009

Route 66, Erick. To travel the old road today — stumbling across crumbling ghost towns and half abandoned communities, across the sprawling native American desert reservations, through cities where people work all the hours they aren’t sleeping and still cannot afford to go to the doctor – is to encounter a new despair [Photograph: David Levene]

Some version of gawd took pity on us out here in Cali… we had a complicated case of a kidnap victim turn up, 18 years later… it blew Kennedy almost out of the water. The story kept popping all day, finally by 3 pm when the police in the county she was found in (or taken from, by now I am confused) held a presser, I realised:
We Are Released! Teddy is a side dish! Hallelujah!
Then word came down the NUMMI plant, apparently the only car assembly plant in the state, will indeed close in March of next year. That did it… Ted got the dregs.
hmmm. February to [almost] September. Quel difference!
Tiny Revolution plots the quick descent in re renditions.
Gallup: Obama’s approval rating is at 50%. Buh bye, “political capital”.
I see the Cali kidnapper has a blog. Bizarre.
Strange that someone that insane didn’t run afoul of the authorites or at least the neighbors a long time ago.
Where’s his wife in all this? Is she nuts too?
The neighbours were busy looking for terrorists. You know how it is…
she was arrested as well…
The cops seem to be having a LOT of trouble getting his criminal history out… it is coming out very garbled.
Neighbors, who knew he was a registered sex offender, did call the local sheriff’s office… someone whose property is conjoined did notice the tarps and tents and did catch a glimpse of children. The neighbors say someone did come out, but spoke to Garrido at his door and did not search. AND one thing that has come out, he is on parole for the remainder of his life. Federal parole, from his first offense, which was abduction and rape. In either ’71 or! ’77. That too is garbled. An earlier response from the sheriff’s office is that they did not have a warrant and could not search. My understanding is if you are on parole, anything constitutes “probable cause” and a warrant si not needed. NOW the sheriff’s office says they have no record of neighbors calls.
His history is (imo) being presented in very confused fashion. Probably for a reason….
NOW the Contra Costa sheriff IS admitting to 2006 calls about the structures in the back yard… and a stop at the house with no search.
Maybe they get the story straight by Monday.
the story has everything…

well she bested a punchy and imo hung over Katrina vd Heuvel last time I caught her on there. Why wouldn’t they have her back?
So what is the so called Dem partisan bench? Maddow who will keep some fiction going she votes for Ob under protest and Krugman… who is good a third of the time. Then they have the “black bench” miserable sell outs with no credibility, but they flack for the Dems… and will be represented tomorrow by Dyson (oh joy bad poetry)..
What is there?
little.
Talk about the game getting old.
good point.
News from the department of Ummm…what??
Bill would give president emergency control of Internet
Paging BHHM (the keeper of all that is written about Dem corruption)
It’s in the NY Post but what the hell…
Can I get a w00t?
can we get a dump truck for charlie? pick up and delivery to the dump.
w00t! w00t!
And Charlie’s CATHOLIC! Merde! I’m gonna be
burnin in Apostate Hell with that motherfucker!
wear garlic.
hA! IF only he had robbed a federally insured bank, they’d have been on him! Or tried to elude cops hot for a car chase! They’d have been on him!
Registered sex offender, on Megan’s List… on lifetime Federal parole… Gotta love it.
From the latest AP report:
From an admittedly cynical Google for grant purchases:
Contra Costa prepares with new armored vehicle (Oakland Tribune, Jul 19, 2007)
I think part of the problem… he lives in an unincorporated area… which I think explains why soemtimes one county responded, and at times another co came in. Looked him up on Megan’s Law List… several offenders in his immediate area. More than one an arrest for “lewd acts” with someone ”under 14”. On and on it goes.
What a fucking mess.
I recently saw one of thsoe East Bay tactical response vehicles. Basically a tank, for domestic use. Pretty ugly.
We are officially saved from the Great Ted Undertaking! We have had a nasty missing child case in the East Bay erupt in arrests… differnt than the 18 year absence…
Equal opportunity criminals… this pair of arrests are black.
California is busy licking their chops! And Ted is forgotten. A few will wave tomorrow morning, someone may notice Ob giving the eulogy..
Look! I’m psychic!
