Two Australian red kangaroos lie in the sun at Sydney Wildlife World. The red kangaroo is the largest living marsupial and Australia’s largest native land mammal, well adapted for Australia’s dry interior. An Australian psychologist had to be rescued from her office after a “frantic” kangaroo crashed through the window and leaped around the room, toppling furniture, reports said.

It def beats this horrific photograph. Swung thru the air, upside down, suspended from a helicopter… and at the end of the ride is a breeding station. I can see it in a rescue situation, but otherwise….
As for the “news”… what to say.
****
ugh… I caught the middle of the night rerun of MTP. Geesh. Bill C at the start, then Jim Webb and Kyl of AZ and now Paterson.
My god they are all doing so badly. Barely functional. Rote. Dead, asleep. Not present.
What a country.
Watada Discharged
I read too that, along with “other than honorable”, the mil is not disclosing jsut what classification of discharge it is.
gah.
That took long enough, didn’t it? No wonder the military so-called “justice” system has NFI how to deal with detainees/suspected terrorists. It takes forever to deal with what’s going on in its own ranks.
Speaking of which… this just popped up in my inbox, the latest from Dahr Jamail:
oh, fighting for our freedoms, indeed. Until they won’t KILL for them, then all bets are off.

Eat your heart out, Burt Reynolds.
So, where are all of the cries of racism! over this?
Oh Silvio. He’ll have em both in bed before long.
Then Al Rogers’ll put up the porno @ dailykos.
LOL. And frankly, judging from HuffPo’s
hillarious pic atop that venerable online Party Organ of theirs..
Obama seems game, a little frisky….
Becoming Progressively undressed, even.
Silvio!
He’s in bed with everybody else, so why not Burlesque-oni?
Could be fun.
I’ll just say, he better get a flag tattoo over his heart… if he plans to take that shirt off…
Al Rogers seems to be awol from dkos. Maybe he choked on his pom poms.
Berlusconi is such a tired jokester… but imo that is what he is. But ti is tired. Elderly even. I think both Sarko (quite some commentary around from that quarter in the past few days as well…) and Berlusconi like to bait Ob. I mean, who else would see right thru the game the US is running but other “leaders”.
24 suicides at France Telecom since February. Gah
February 2008, that is. Don’t want to exaggerate.
I have read the silly protests from France Telecom that it is not out of line with national statistics. Gee, wouldn’t one think it should be LOWER? A good job with what once was a better than average (by far) employer? But from what I read not such a hot employer anymore…
JNF Hedger CEO plunges to death in Atlantic City.
Love how they’re putting it like it’s an Escalator Prolllllem .
JNF Asset Management?
Good luck getting the real story on this motherfucker.
Gadhafi’s on Larry King tonite. Larry’s having a fun week. Chavez, Ahmadinejad, Bubba…
Viral Sculptures
Public water and charter schools
Don Fisher who jsut died, The Gap King… and The Downtown San Francisco Parking King… and The Local Modern Art King… was a lot of the money behind the “Kip” charter schools.
It bleeds money off the public school system… not that lots of other things do not. Slow but sure, being killed off.
Hoosier Grandmother Arrested for Purchasing Cold Medication
thank god she did not also purchase hydrogen peroxide. It’d be 50 years, no parole, a terrist. Fer sure.
Well OKAY! ALL’s WELL! As of 3 Minutes Ago!
Some felllah named Sorkin with the fuckin lede on the NYT says so!
That The most senior ranks of Corporate America have a –> “”””more optimistic outlook on the economy than some people thought””!!!
WHATEVER THAT MEANS! Whoever “Some People” Are!!
Who Knows?!? It’s All Prolly Good News in Palookaville Too!
I know, I know. The lede at the NYT. What was I thinking?
But Is it too much for me to expect that they fake it? LOL.~
I really thought the Dow would manage to get to 10,000 by……… Wednesday? October 1, when ever that is………
Cuz the Dow loves people out of work.
The cutbacks are everywhere.
In fact, I now can’t afford to post a “Market Update” without a tie in
along other lines…It’s rough, but here goes..
Market Update / Fall Decorating Ideas / Relationship Advice.
Jobs in the Pumpin Placer Sector Have fallen.
Sophisticated Market Watchers Bleak,
Noting sparse Gourd Placements at Clinton Home.
Pumpkins lonely, cold, perhaps aware of distance in the home.
Pumpkins await full employment. Coming soon. Check back.
Former Obama Campaign Workers seeking relief
take it as a positive sign, mistake Two Small Pumpkins as
Patronage Overture/ FoodBank donation meant for them. Offer thanks, then Divide Gourds 60,000 ways to Sunday, while professing it
a “nice lunch”.
Bowers, Hamster blog about it . ala Harlem Vittles with Bill.
Meant for Them. Plentiful and delicious.
Fishes and Loaves You Can Believe In. But A Pumpkin Story.
And Orange. Coverage cross-posted on FishTitter and Loafster.
Sort of a Daytime Starving Cinderella Eats Pumpkin Pieces Piece.
Grateful Orange carved smilies all around….after the brawl for scraps among toothless porch ornaments of one sort or other…
Pumpkin flavored popcorn. They distribute free 3-D sun glasses too!
So. very. shocking.
Can I have some of that pumpkin flavoured popcorn now please? 🙂
only if you permit a promotional photo of you in the 3-D sun glasses.
We need to remember the popcorn era.
gah. what a mess we are in.
Have to add that Kucinich was blasted (by slinkerwink et al) for a diary he wrote at dkos saying the public option wasn’t going to happen. Score one for Dennis.
First thnig I heard when I woke was Hatch crowing.
As if the poor lame thiing known as “Public Option” ever had a chance.
I heard Grassley this morning during the hearing. His line was that the public option would lead to single payer which would eventually (paraphrasing now) lead to communism.
well the Dems, of all stripes, were all over the country using the line of “vote for incrementalism!”… “we are your friends!”… AND ”Public Option will eventually lead to Single Payer!!… Believe us!”…
etc. The R grabbed that bullshit and used it.
Losing as you Lose. With friends like these… etc.
Poor Old Tired MM bought into that incrementalism, I am your friend and vote for Obama stuff.
He’ll be used til he is useless… then invited to shut up and obey, like Babs Streisand. Great Revolutionary she was, with commanding multimillion dollar views of the Malibu Colony coast.. A Clinton hanger on, basically.
White meat liberals meet black xtian Dem conservatives, meet old time Southern White Whatevers.
A party made in hell.
Gah.
gee… don’t make me laugh TOO hard.

Well, he’s going to have a hard time convincing the conservadems who vote for those blue dogs to change their minds. Some of those blues are institutions in their states. And if push comes to shove, they can always pull a Lieberman and run as Indies to save their seats.
Bloooooooooooooooo=Boll Weevils.
And Bill C and Rahm actively courted them, all over the fucking country. Well this shitty lousy party calls Shumer a fucking LIBERAL.
They ran a fucking member of the Ohio (or Indiana, I forget now) RIGHT TO LIFE… and managed to keep it a secret from the coasts. Unless one was online.
(think I woke iwth a head ache or something, LOL)
Brrreaking: The Dems lose another fundraiser. Norman Hsu sentenced to 24 years.
Bat Loose in Congress lol
This looks like a job for BHHM.
Mongiardo in KY… a dud every time the Dems have run him. Still a dud.
hmm I think we got it, Trouble in KY!
America! just view us as a cookie dispenser. Really!
I so buy that. Not. As we arm some proxies.
Where are the flowers and candies?
And ponies. Kids and countries like ponies too.
Oh puhlease.
Michelle Obama vows to strike Olympic gold for Chicago
Well, if they do take prisoners they’ll always have Gitmo to stick them in.
Pat Buchanan on Morning Joe opined this morning that the only reason they were going was that they had it “wired” that Chicago was a done deal, that politically they wouldn’t have risked it otherwise. The old racist does seem to have a knack for the behind the scenes stuff.
Kristol says Ob will swing by Af-PakLand.
hmm apparently she somehow sat next to the wife of Lula da Silva… I guess at the G-Gaga… and they agreed to fight to the death in Copenhagen. After they had a friendly hug session whereever they were.
I think Rio should get the games. S America has never had them. let America and her wars and plutocrats and oligarchs and corp royalty subside.
too many commies down there to be allowed to celebrate international competition.
Oh that “people powered” conflab of flab… known as Democracy for America (formerly Dean for America) tells me the Public Option is not dead.
Not dead. Not dead. it’s not dead!, I guess til the Dems say it is. Or soemthing…
Email snip:
SEND MONEY NOW! LATER TOO!
Fools for Empire
hmmm I’d rather have the gory old fairy tales… Grimm’s, Etc…. The old witch putting the wee chilluns in the stew pot. The sexual predator of the Wolf and LITTLE Red Riding Hood…
Instead we get serial wars.. and so on
Vatican: Clergy Sexual Abuse Blown Out Of Proportion
wonder what Sullification has to say about this.
When so called “liberal” women and gay men figure it out……………………….. IT WILL BE TOO LATE. Too late now…
The “old” story used to be that the commies lied about the priests. Now they are just gay, or sexual libertines left over from the 60s.
yeah right.
neue….
