Young Libyan boys flash V signs as they celebrate the freedom of the Libyan city of Benghazi – Picture: AP
So… maybe diversion, maybe disinfo, misinfo…. but the Transition Council has already put forth a draft, repeat draft, of a new constitution for Libya, calling for the state to be Islamic… and the source of law, Sharia.
I almost had to laugh… it was clear months ago, the flag being brandished in Benghazi was none other than the old Kingdom of Libya flag. When the King ruled, Libya was beyond poor (this is not an endorsement of Qaddafi!) and the main export, iirc, was salvage WW2 metal from the deserts…
If Sharia be it… then, I also read that the Pentagon admits to nearly 900 million, which is approaching a BILLION that they will admit to, for this Liberation. And the route to Tripoli, we are told, was cleared for the rebels by the British, Special Forces.
I am guessing the various reb factions were too busy (this is reported as well) calling down NATO strikes on each other.
Can’t y’all just get along?
Hey, clap. Clap some more! Be happy. Don’t worry.
I managed to get out today to buy stamps… they first offered me the Liberty Bell and without thinking, I said, I think its run outta gas… what else do you have? Thankfully the fellow behind the counter laughed.
You just don’t know these days, liberation is so fucking VIOLENT.

In other news, and this is a real laugh…. the earthquake apparently caused cracks in the Washington Monument. Closed indefinitely.
Doesn’t take much to shake DC up, it seems. Got the Washington Monument, got a spire on the National Cathedral.
Not ENOUGH damage, I say. Hit it again.
Harder.
Ganjafied Gabacho posted this at the end of the last thread…
Once again, the Native folks are telling us a message we refuse to hear:
Narcospherenews
Here is a laugh…
my nickname for the new MLK monument on The Mall is…
Three Gorges Dam Martin.
When I found out a couple of years ago, production was some native stone of China and a Chinese nationalist sculptor…. I mean, what can one say? I do see, now that it is exposed, we got a stiff strange salute to Martin. But you know, dead and gone… and entombed tightly in that Dream speech… and in the black church.
They cemented the fucking reverends into EVERYBODY’s life.
Gah.
there was no native stone of Georgia, or the South, or in all of America? We have no funerary sculptors? Really?
No native stone in Georgia?! Have you ever seen Stone Mountain Georgia? A complete fucking abomination IMHO, but whatever…
All chinese parts to the New,new American dream…
oh I know, therer are quarries all over America…. it would have been no problem to find a native stone of just about anywhere they chose. OTHER THAN China.
The thing looks quite totalitarian to me, not that it matters… (too late now!!)
Apparently we have just had a mild earthquake… I did not feel it, but seems people in SF did, as well as inland, in the valley area.
No word yet on the Richter, but you know us, unless it brings down a bridge……………………
… 
I did read that earlier today there was one in CO… but obviously vastly outweighed by cracks in Washington’s prick.
Etc.
Preliminary reading, 3.9 and centered 6 mil S SE of Oakland… nr Castro Valley…
This will raise hopes for a big one in the East Bay so they can clear the flatlands. Plan New Orleans….
Geesh.. I sort of dropped out today…. just checking in with Business Insider… and admittedly they can enjoy pushing it a bit… but thse are the selected headlines at the top:

And further down the page, it tells me, big unexpected nooz, that Slob is below 40% approval again: 38.
Anyone give me 33% for pretzel? 30% ???? Ticket out of town?
Ticket out of Town?!
Have Hope
Maybe they’ll be some Change
WTF! Follow the PLANe!
Fret not, fellow american
Dance the vineyard vacay sway
Buffet and Ford guy give Oobster some pointers for getiing to that 15 year BULL (shit) market….
Hahahahah… sweet little PR from the National Zoo on which animali reacted in which way to the Big Ol’ Tremblor.
Looks like red ruffed lemurs win the day (remember them?)…. agitated 15 minutes before it hit…
AND, some were quite blase about the whole thing…

hmm Steve Jobs resigned…apparently it leaked initially out here, but the letter he sent the board is now floating around.
Unable to meet his duties…………………….. so he says… “the day has come”.
Barack O’Nixon seeks out “expert” counsel about building a “jobs” program:
Because who would know better than a couple of ruthless hacks who built their careers on the backs of jobs they shipped overseas?
my old jokes about how Obby puts out for Haley Barbour come to mind. And Immelt and Jack Welch and and and and…
It’s NOT a pretty picture, neither the reality nor my vulgar expansion of it…
I’m betting they actually exchanged golf tips …
oh yeah… they did not talk jobs. Other than their own, maybe Yeah golf. What to do about this or that personal issue…..
… and so on.
Religion is a mental illness:
Considering the long time existence of homoseuxual lifestyle within the priest hood… Rabbi is not making sense.
I always love the way these people throw in phrases like “forced down the throats …”, or Rush’s constant use of “bend over …”
Geez, rape fantasies much?
yes —– just glaring…

Obama Goes All Out For Dirty Banker Deal

you’re only disappointed if you stupidly fell for the con, which far too many people did.
Unlike other pastel-colored houses in the well-heeled enclave……THIS house has his AND her arsenals on each floor, a variety of shooting vantage points throughout, decent cover when need be, interspersed with discreet yet tasteful access to separate bunkers 40 feet below. Relax between hearings in the built-in Courtroom knowing one’s cadre of money-grubbing divorce lawyers are accommodated in guest cabins on the grounds that loyal security staff loaded with explosives and is ready to blow.
welllllll.. people have divorced over a kitchen and bath remodel… LOL… so……………. probably to be expected…
Maybe they could just all kill each other? I’d be fine with that………..
no need to consult me… 
Oh I dunno, seems like a nice house in a perfect Hamlet!
And another piece of the “Lifestyle” genre…
BUT
Pfft. ~ “Pimply”~
He sounds like the WSJ!!!!
Oh I say fine to Anonymous…. sure the whole thing is a bit off kilter and all over the map. BUT, BART police killed a man. On a crowded commute platform, which people nver mention… the crowded aspect I mean. AND from eyewitness (little of which has made it ot media) there is some question the homeless man “lunged” at the police and his knife was sure small…. And I think their kill count over the recent years is either 7 or 8. Frankly their guns should be taken away…
AND Bart set a nasty and quite by design precedent in shutting cell access. One reason it flashed as news around the world… and the Chinese said, Atta Boy.
I still want to know what happened to the idea that police should talk to people and defuse situations …
In most cases it seems gone by the wayside…
There was a turning point last year, when over in the East Bay cops killed an elderly family dog a sort of blonde Lab mix… AND cops killed Bambi… really, a young deer… in front of children. And there has been genuine upset because of the spate of killings of people on the street, with various “stories” from the cops.
Fuck the Police!
Seriously, unless there’s some mutherfucker with a gun(s) shooting up town just us everyday people is all society needs for justice…ever been to a Rainbow Gathering?
A true modern Agape, but look out when the cops show up, and start shooting
Sorry about the pop ups but its the only photo I could find of the 2008 pepper-ball gun attack of the camp where all the children and pregnant folks can go and get whatever they need…
WTF?!?!
fucking thugs. What were they there for … drug raid or “trespassing” or arrests for unauthorized felony decency or what?
yes I don’t understand WHY th ecops need to show up at a Rainbow gathering… or similar.
I would guess hoping ot find chargeable drug use or – - – - just anything…. kind of a “let’s go bust some heads” type of thing.
why? Ostensibly, because they claim we’re all breaking the law; Forest Service says more the 70 people require a permit, we say we’re peacefully assembling per the constitution and the regulations are onerous ( besides, who wants to be the guy to sign the liability waiver?)
In actual fact, because we’re peaceful we’re used as “training tools” Every 3rd of July, for example, is TAZE A RAINBOW day, and like clockwork for more than 11 years in a row its happened. Often its the only such incident during the 7 day affair…
smoking a joint in the woods of course! a joint. one….
I think a couple of weeks ago when the debt debacle was culminated with G.Gifford’s appearance, vote and wave, Marisa indicated she’d heard that maybe Gabby ain’t gonna get “all better.” Well, local Rethug fixture Frank Antenori has been very public about his doubts about her competence to run in 2012.
From Tucon Weekly’s political Skinny:
BTW it is a bizarrely gerrymandered district….
oh interesting he woul go that far….
You probably read it … but her AZ chief of staff… think a name like Capusano… something close to that, gave an interview to one of the local papers a few weeks ago… Arizona Star comes to mind…… and was quite forthright about what level of recovery GG is at… . Debbie Wasserman Schutlz was quickly dispatched to the round of political shows to tell the opposite… she tried to spin a story that she and Miss Gabby have actual conversations.
The CoS had been quite clear on how limited it is… and how much is still gestures and signals…It is single or sometimes two words.
Not that I know anything about brain injury but what I read… but I DO read that what recovery is available…pretty much, happens in the first few months… and we are coming up on 9 months since the shooting.
yeah he would go that far…he’s a major shit ala limbaugh
Yeah, she ain’t gonna be doing anything but holding place and then being sent to a nice peaceful home…
I feel for the woman, she didn’t DESERVE it, but the beatification afterwards is killing me…left and right knew gabby had made it uptown (i.e. east coast establishment) and was pissed and disappointed by her constants sell outs especially wrt BP and checkpoints….
The beatification was disgusting… I would never wish a bullet on anyone… but that aftermath (still going on) stank and stinks.
I’m disgusted that her husband goes along with it.
oh he strikes me a very mediocre sort. Bland grunt that got elevated. Stub. Glad for al the perks, glad to be of service to the corps and the mil…. and loving it all.
I cannot be certain it applies to him but there are those types that glory in the specialness of being wounded. It is part of what isgoing on with all the “assassination masturbation” crap with Obama and his black and white cadres.
I am pretty sick of it all.
They’re sayin the Jersey Shore could be cancelled this weekend. The land mass , Irene, not the Show Thank God!
Bloomie now says NY may have to be evacuated,. just like the rest of the country has been saying for years.
In other fortunes, newsly, Uncle Warren just announced he will invest 5 billion in Bank of America.
We are so Blessed!
And In The Meantime, The German Stock Market ……
just collapsed.
I managed to toddle in to my local branch of the BoA, for the first time in 9 years or soemthing…and my, it has changed. There was some sort of greeter, a la Wal Mart, but not some poor elderly person, one of the so called bank officers…
one of the so called bank officers
Which is nice.
Community service, work-release programs, etc.
It was also all Chinese. No blacks, no latino… One older white woman teller.

And If the Hurricane Hits? I’m saving THIS ARTICLE.
Reminds me of the complex forger of a few years ago.. wasn’t he finding obscure never heard of Mormon documents and getting a lot of cash for them? From the Mormon Church in some cases?
they are so fucking anxious to precious-ize their religions… with ancient texts and divining rods and so on. Like building the Smithsonian Of Our Nutty Practices, etc.
Of course the Vatican (Yes We Can! Put out for Team Vatican!!) has them all beat. prolly fuels the frantic-ness.
that was mark hoffman. he not only forged mormon documents (the best being the so-called salamander letters said to be written or found by joseph smith in a dream or hallucincation where he chased a white salamander — the mormon church did purchase is supposedly to verify the authenticity), but a few dickinson poems.
NOW it comes back to me………………….
Oh the glories of revealed secrets… that make cash money.
always great fun when the cons get conned.
IOZ broke my thesaurus.
We are pretty big damn killers. Globally and historically.
All the gibberdrool we spout. Butt of a gun, lance of the spear, White Phosphorus a go go… and so on.
As I said to the stamp seller the other day, he offered me the LibertyBell… I said it’s outta gas.
and more of Who is IOZ, …..always a treat to see sanity exists …so close to the latitude and longitude a person was born near: Hegelling at the Market
(bolding mine. So glad I read that …sometimes I wondered about that fiscal end. ……I’m lovin Matt, too, along with Eric Schneiderman., Glenn Greenwald, and, of course, you Marisa.. … Also, was really, really sorry to hear that Susie Madrak (sp?) may have had a heart attack ..even though I’m still pissed that she suggested moderate Rethuglicans as a possible answer. …gotta run, …)
Hi dear…. how are you?
Oh I had not heard that about Madrak… I will run by that place…
The grief of the horror we exist in , have existed in … for quite some time now, …is near unbearable honey …always has been ugly. but now! …now it is crystallizing. Ha, and I was fool enough to believe that age would temper and wisen … that pain and confusion. …I really do have to run though, …many hugs and kisses to you honey!
and those spotless, sadistic, …. ice white ….. military gloves, … no apparent trace …. of the volumes of blood let.
LOL
It’s from War Nerd’s a thing called Libya: Berb-Burb Alliance. Don’t really agree with guy on anything but he’s always funny….
I stumbled on some interveiw with Andre Leon Tally (I’ve always found him boring, across the decades) … the 400 lb black Editor at Large for Vogue the other day…a nd I was trying to figure out what his knitted cap said across the front.
Why… in brilliants, some soft shine rhinestone embellishing the nice wine color of the cashmere… it said,
O B A M A
Obama-wear.
Don’t be caught wearing it in 2013!
Sale tables.
I read some article couple of weeks ago that said Ob Wear and Gear has slowed down a lot… they interviewed proprietors of gift shops and tourist shops in DC and NY.
What goes up, must come down.
I gather Bloomberg has called for a mandatory evacuation of all seniors living i n low lying or flood prone areas of Manhattan.
…. that should go really welll….
NYC bracing for the worst from Hurricane Irene: transportation system shutdown, evacuations
I was just touring the reports…. and popping up a pic of Irene exercising her will on some hapless palm trees for the next post…
Maybe one weekend Bloomberg will skip running ”home” to the Carib… [snicker]
Obviously, Irene is not a team-player. Isn’t our dear dip-shit in chief right in the path of this thing until the next month or so…
yup he is……………
