Egyptian army soldiers beat a protester wearing a Niqab, an Islamic veil, during clashes near Cairo’s downtown Tahrir Square, Egypt, Friday, Dec. 16, 2011. Activists say the clashes began after soldiers severely beat a young man who was part of a sit-in outside the Cabinet building. At background graffiti depicts members of the military ruling council and Arabic reads: “Killer”. (AP Photo/Ahmed Ali)
A small gallery of just 9 photos from Tahrir Square on December 16th.
hmm I just glimpsed it on some news segment tonight, but a still shot from Tahrir Sq showed a woman being beaten and stripped, it was hard to tell from the shot (and I will poke around see if I land on it) but it looked as though the full veil, a niqab, had been wrenched upward. She had on a bright turquoise bra…
I am watching Hotel Terminus the Marcel Ophuls doc on Klaus Barbie, the Gestapo chief in Lyon… and in this part, toward the end of disc 1, he is with a series of old SS and Wehrmacht that he finds living here and there… and the excuses are the same as given today for war crimes (ours).
It does nto change.
Here she is, first picture up in the latest set of photos from Tahrir Sq…
the snips with the gallery at the Guardian says the police targetted women in the Square.
I think it was Hayes’s show this morning where the third string nooze mandarins admitted it was Mubarek’s “second tier” gov’ment officials that were in control and their was no “democracy in Egypt” (like we got any here
)
Now if we can just persuade the second string to go softer on Israel and chill on bombing the Sinai pipeline, we will be happy as imperial clams.
SO much lying. All lies… For days I have been turning that war bitch off, Martha Raddatz, but did hear the slobber this morning… That we never sought war in Iraq and, in leaving, we are offering the Iraqis a choice and a chance and what will they make of it for themselves.
We are out in the galaxy far beyond the planet hubris.
I’m avoiding anything about the “withdrawal” …its like a bleach eyewash…I remember your great piece “one last time for ronnie” or somesuch, anyhoo Glen Greenwald (
) has thing up about Hitch that extensively references Raygun’s Pharoanic send off that is kinda on point, vis. So much lying. All lies..
oh thank you for that! I will go read GG….. I lay prone in bed all week of the Great Mourn for Reagan…. glued to the TV with the lights low. It was impossible not to watch and yet so painful. So intensely fascistic too. And it was the funeral of a Pharoah.
One of the oddest little journeys, has been Patty Davis… who did say interesting things many decades ago, by now. She was almost a release valve in a sense, espeically growing up here and watching Reagan from the GE days…. Esp when she said things like she considered having her tubes tied (seriously) when she would look at what she came from.
NOW she cashes in by writing about Daddy, wishing he was here to pray with and regretting her years of opposition.
And Ron jr, too, says such drool the past few years.
that’s a good piece
omigod, what a messed up bitch HE was. I had not read this – well of course I stopped reading him for one thing… snicker!… (and now must go off and read the Gawker syonara to him,
)
meet the new boss, middling underling of the old boss … etc

Shutdown Deal Cuts Winter Heating Aid For Low-Income Families, Boosts Defense Spending
oops, didn’t close the tag
I read, think I got this right, that tucked into one of the bills this past week, payments to doctors under Medicare to be cut 27%… I want to poke around and see f that is accurate.
Wash DC, the land of machete cutting. Vote!! More and Better Democrats!!
Welll… they may not be Hollywood or celebrity deaths of the classic sort… but what the hell… I say bring on the third.

Drug Store Refuses To Sell Plan B To A Man Because Men Can’t Get Pregnant, Silly
CVS says its company policy doesn’t restrict sale of Plan B based on gender and complies with FDA regulations regarding the sale of the drug.
Excpt when they don’t.

me neither.
It is our highest aim to protect religious lies.
Speaking of that pipeline:

No 3 maybe…
those poor people … the power struggle could turn horribly ugly, and I fear how the US would react if the Chinese feel they have to do something because refugees start streaming over the boarder.
I just read I think yesterday that NK agreed to relinquish obtaining uranium (it had to do with nuclear dev and uranium, I remember that much)… I did not bother to open for the details, but seems odd in light of this.
it puts an interesting spin on the move of US troops to Australia …
ooo i forgot about that!!
So we head off to Oz now that the wicked munchkin of mordor is dead?
Where will the yellow cake road now lead the erstwhile US? Bereft of Heart, Mind, or Courage I’m sure we don’t really want to tangle with the wicked witch of the east and “her” myriad flying monkey armed forces (now with DAVEY-brand stealth tech!)
I’m sure W is much relieved that he now has no rivals for sweet Condies affections…all’s fair in love and rockets

Oh God. As if only NK is subject to the cult of personality.
Can you imagine if Slob died? And let’s not get into Reagan… geesh. That mess.
If Slobber-ama died?
Oh fuck, some might come to pick thru the buffet,
but ya know…
Obama Beseeches Supporters to Stick With Him
I mean what are people gonna say?
“He was a great surfer. Tried the chicken?”
“Oh, yes – the chicken. And there’s a nice,
marshmallow fruit thing over by Reverand Al.”
I read a quote from his NH campaign manager… with some unintended laughable comments. Like, “my job is to DRUM UP INTEREST in the 2012 campaign”.
ummm How about ”My Job is to keep the NH interest level in Obama in 2012 high.
Send him back for some re-heating.
In further hilarity, we are referring to NK as “the most militarised nation on earth”.
SHOW ME THEIR GLOBAL BASES!!!
Drum shticks. Songs and dances. The like.
Oh they’ll need em.
I’m thinkin’ this time they’ll have to drive people to the polls at gunpoint. LOL. With most of us out here in Riff-raff Land basically saying : Go ahead! Shoot me!
Presidential election 2012: Majority of Americans want the campaign season to be over

I also saw this blurb about how the DCCC is putting in a million into the Oregon special election for Wu’s s old seat…
Another of the ole DNC / D Trip “critical seat” attempts to save the national – LOL – “brand”. IMO, A couple things going on with this deal: A little rebate for the Party wimmens, Bonamici is an Emily’s list …..whatever? Of course Shrum will move in to try and get the media placement. Anyways, a taste of rebate-money, and set up as one of those attempts at Obbyslob 2012 “synergy” to get a few DNC operatives in there and keep them afloat while they try and figure out how the whole state doesn’t flip on them. I think they are going to have huge problems in once assured Democratic strongholds, now kindly said to be “leaning” Dem.
Wherever there are resistance minded folk, and they ain’t no slouches up in Oregon.
Oh, I think the Dems are going to be running for lives, frankly.
Of course, mostly from each other. LOL.
And especially from their man, Barry.
You know, I read that assessment, that a mjority want the horrible campaign over. They are sick of it already. It is a re-election for one thing, and even if people are squeezing out some sort of christmas, there is so much struggle on view…
There is a lot of silly blather about Xmas buying too, but I noticed a couple of weeks ago that shopping in November was way off projections.
AND it was also reported that two weekends ago – the weekend previous to the one we just got thru – movie attendance fell to lower than the two week level following 9/11.
I know one thing, retailer after retailer that I have bought something from over the past 2, 3 years is writing twice a day at least to offer FREE RUSH SHIPPING. That is a first for me in email come-ons.
I jsut think there is a lot of fear out there.
I’m enjoying watching watching American comedians and ‘nooz’ talking heads making fun of the NK citizens mourning, completely unable to see how maudlin and public American wailing is over our “leaders”, especially the disgusting Reagan and Ford displays.
Look at the looney fake vaporous displays for Bill C. And you know an untimely death of any sort and the choruses of blacks and whites weeping for Slob would fill a river. Oh, the public displays and declarations!
Take that you filthy Continentals.

IOZ has an incisive epitaph for bHitch. From the end of a short piece:
Unfortunately it isn’t a just universe, so pro’ly his radioactive soul will never get “clear” and he and Tom Cruise will end up as matching butt plugs for L. Ron Hubbard or J. Smith
ooo luv that last bit.

Many in U.S. Are Arrested by Age 23, Study Finds
I love the word “many”. How “many”?
oops, can’t type … the “by age 23″ paragraph is supposed to be blockquoted.
I read recently that Germany with 80 million people has something like 1200 incarcerated women, Cali with 37 million has thousands incarcerated. IIRC it was 8,000.
