on one stage reading their poetry"
"I think Allen Ginsberg standing up there reading - putting himself on the line - was one of the two bravest things I've ever seen. Remember, it was '55. People had crew cuts, and they looked at you like you were misplaced cannon fodder. The country was being run by Luce publications. It was a dangerous, cold, ugly time, and it was scary. . .
In all our memories no one had been so outspoken in poetry before. We had gone beyond a point of no return. None of us wanted to go back to the grey, chill, militaristic silence, to the intellectual void - to the land without poetry - to the spiritual drabness. We wanted to make it new and we wanted to invent it and the process of it as we went into it. We wanted voice and we wanted vision."
-Michael McClure
Over and over, in election year after election year, GE and MidTerms both… the Dems start to purr and preen, they stretch luxuriously - at just being TOLD they are going to win [...]
It never fails.
... in February of 2002, looking over the already joyless congressional stragglers willing to be drafted for duty… they barely dreamed, yet, it was even possible (Howard, a different person then, had not arrived to say it could be done)… but one thing was clear, we could not rely on the party to swing it. Could not. You could smell it, they would screw the deal. And I am not talking about Howard and primary issues here. By the end, that was a passing political story. Chuck it on the heap.

Upshot? The Republicans make it thru. They hold on.

Well, In riddling THAT criminally insane clown-car with bullets, I think I’d actually let God go. Afterall, Bloomie and Blankfindthemoney are sorta sayin
Don’t look at Us ~, see, , Foghorn Leghorn here……”
Remember Blankfein? Goldman “doing God’s work”
And Hizzoner now, offering the chosen Bloomsplooge of the day…
Pfft. A Jewish crime syndicate, global reach, what can ya say?
Sorry ,link fails to pass thru. the header was available at FT.
Heading out now..
I see ts, got back at the end of last thread, warm regards and a quick recovery
The Schlomo Benitos are hanging together…
And why shouldn’t Gawddd be a suspect? (snicker!) That whole money changers temple steps kinda thing…
oh for ts…
Another thing, as I was whizzed around various departments at Cal Pac Medical Center, back in Nov Dec of 2010… over and over, the person in the bed next to me, would be brought in early afternoon, a case of morning scheduled, ambulatory minor surgery that had complications…
It began to affect me…. I realise it is all a bit chancey but it seemed there were too many of them…
Take it easy and mend…
You can drive the snakes out of Ireland, but you can’t drive the fucking Inquisition out of Kansas.
Via This Can’t Be Happening. There’s a link to a donations page at the bottom if anyone cares to investigate further.
It is pretty much open war on women and doctors in this country…. I’ve lost track of how many states are putting thru medieval laws and restrictions… with Tiller gone Brownback needed a continuing target, is my guess.
moiv believes that Sullenger, mentioned in the article, and others at the core of the OR movement either assisted, conspired or at the least knew full well what Roeder’s plans were….
One thing moiv mentioned back when Tiller was killed, was that a genetics board that is a referral point for these very very sad cases of damaged babies, where the parents often don’t know til mid term, and referred cases often to Tiller, refused to make a statement or defend Tiller’s work in any way when he was killed.
Many many states hve no one who will do medically necessary mid term abortions, or there is just one in a state …
But you know, as Roberts said as part of the oral argument record, when the horrible “pba” case came before the SC in 2007 or 08, “the state may indeed take an interest in these procedures”.
Yup. And all President Schmuck has to do is take money and votes from the Automaton Feminist Brigade and let them kiss the hem of his garment and he gets to be “pro choice.”
An awful lot of feminists seem to have forgotten the connection between silence and assent, when it comes to Democrats. (I’m sure there are fresh rationalizations for this shit being aired daily in Feminist Blogland, but I don’t care enough to actually give the hack brigade any new hits, so I haven’t looked. Frankly, just the thought is enough to make my gorge rise.)
He’s cosy’d up to a big pro lifer, the guy that owns Curves, the work out place for women… (so moiv said)
Here we go, found it:

Oh, fuck. What a bunch of peabrained fucknuts there are in those comments. Yeah, dipshits. Don’t call Obama on his shit, just keep whining about Limbaugh… the TWUE enemy.
The same assholes who’ll paralyze any woman with righteous partisan guilt for daring to vote 3rd Party or stay home are DEFENDING this fucking CEO because we all just need to go along to get along and be bipartisan or some shit like that. They’re made of rubber. Any shape they can contort into in order to keep kissing the DP’s ass is a shape they can be happy in. “Curves” indeed.
MJ and its eternal apologia for Dems and its eternally loyal commenters are pretty much worse than useless by now… [scream]
Well MJ and The Nation… and all of those are just collaborationist – nothing more nothing less.
BTW, The New Yorker, whatever one might think of its fiction thru the years (pretty laughable) it opposed the Vietnam war for 20+ years… NOW, just a DP arm. And who writes for it now? Little Ezra Klein…. who shipped out to print so much homoerotic slobber about Slob in 2007 – in ’08 too! -, that it was not funny.
Last night, I was lurking on an LJ where they were mocking Melissa McEwan for her cult-like blog atmosphere. But of course halfway down the thread were the obligatory Obamapologists, whining that of COURSE he’s only protecting his daughters by telling the rest of the country’s daughters (wives, mothers, nieces, cousins) to eat shit instead of Plan B.
Cult vs. Cult. No matter where you go, it’s Always Good To Be Screwed By My Own Team, Just Not By That Other Team. Love the Democrats no matter how blatantly and repeatedly they prove they hate you. It’s THE RULES!!
Interestingly there is a smattering of reporting around that he invokes his daughters, that in fact they both do, too much. An AP report started the ball rolling.
And he does. It’s distasteful… but his doing that, keeping his daughters somewhat front and center, gives rise to the apologists use of it.
Oh but wait now honey, don’t get your panties in a twist ™, (as I was wizely advised once at the Big Dawg[&Essa], Foul Orange, by as many sociopathic faux wimmins as psychotic menz), President Schmuck lurves the wimmens … he has now seen to it that the US peeples know that Afghani women are, and have been stunningly violated (in an identical yet far more subtle paralell in the $UZ$) in the Afghan Prison Sytem …..
Look over there ….! (never mind those twelve wimmins and kiddles), …..Obombster and Crew (oh, ..and Bling Mickey too!)…they really really do! …..Lurve Us Wimmins and Kiddles!
(oh for fucks sake, ….My Shame! ……. “parallel” … …Can you hear me now? ™, …I hate the fuckin: Nazi $Zionist$ Brits ™ …)
He only cares about the women in Afghanistan because it provides cover to keep us bombing them – or having some crazed four-tour soldier walk off the base and slaughter them.
We’ve made ourselves into global slave patrollers… nothing else
ugh I followed Jeralyn’s link to the NYT article… which was a mess. It presents us as the Afghn womens’ only hope. Geesh. Hardly.
I got the impression, that he was advised to play that angle to bump up the wimmen’s vote here (good luck with that one mofo) and undermine all the death we’ve brought to Afghanistan, et al. I can’t imagine it being received well at all in Afghanistan, after that slaughter, and the history that’s preceded it, especially since whatever goes on in those prisons, he would have already been aware of, quite some time ago.
The $UZ$ has no business at all lectouring about incarcerations when they’ve got hideous detention centers in brutal regimes all over the globe, and have turned it into a massive For Profit Industry and an answer to the pesky problem of ‘undesirables’ here, which they in fact created and invented.
(I’m glad you finally got relief after the hideous go round with the $Med$ Industry honey.)
hmm the Night patrol that finally did it (maybe!). They aren’t too happy over in Little Kabul, in Fremont, either…
oh no, it was only a night patrol of one super human seal with goggles! Talk about ‘multitasking’ and Lone Wolfer scapegoating.
I’ve always wondered how that very large population of Afghanis (along with what seems a very large concentration of Russian Immigrants) came to be concentrated in, predominately Rethug, Fremont, Cali. Do you have some insight on that hon?
WEll, the Afghan protests in Fremont made it to mainstream TV news and print reports, for several days now… but honestly other than register their protest…. which they should of course do… what else is there?
oh the Russians! Those crazies… The Russians are all along the Pacific Coast, top to bottom. Between the gangs the fucking fundie xtian Russians and so on…
ugh I got a swift first education in that group – that these are by no means the old days of “White Russians” who came ths way via Shang hai and or Paris -back in ’97 when my mother was in Mt Zion Hospital, on Divisadero street. Then, later, their on campus movements to work against gays and other groups (not too hot for women either)… when, for all the messes we create ourselves, there ARE laws and policies, federal state and campus policies that mandate at least the bare minimum.
My guess is he’d also be foursquare for an all-genders draft, too. Except that he and his bipartisan cronies are scared shitless at the thought armed, angry women. (Assuming they think we poor, feeble minded dears are clever enough to point and pull the trigger. An awfully big “if,” I’ll grant you.)
oh the old point and shoot! I think we are up to it… San Francisco is – or rather WAS – famous for younger wives “accidentally” plugging their wealthy old husbands.
I can still remember one from the early 60s “Your honor! I had never even held a gun before, I don’t know how it happened!”
However we game it, I think we are up to it…
I go back and forth on whether they have the balls to institute a full scale draft. My guess … No. It will go on like this, tho grateful for the relief provided by drones and special forces teams….
I go back and forth, too. But looking at their discomfort with all those fresh young angry faces in Occupy, they may actually have enough hubris to think they can shut down anger in the lower orders by shipping future troublemakers off to gun down renegade Africans, or whatever.
It would be quite a roll of the dice, since invariably some of those they send will make it home, their interest in anything to do with nonviolent protest completely wiped out.
But given the colossal arrogance, stupidity, and entitlement of those in charge, I’d never say never.
I’d imagine that they are aware they’ve already ‘produced’ so many potential ‘McVeighs’ on the voluntary enlistment front (which I think is the main reason why they haven’t brought them all ‘back home,’ especially since they know that their CorpGov Masters won’t be offering them liveable wage jawbs any time too soon (unless they are highly corruptable)), that they’d refrain from a draft unless they could ensure that they could never return, not to mention the fact that that they’ve been exponentially increasing the drones, bots and privatized mercs.
putting the reply to this on the new thread….

Mosquitos Doing The Furious Work of Fate
And now, … can we all just kneel in a silent moment of reverence (yes, “The Sweater Vestiture”s are welcome in this bipartisan affair, I certainly have mine on)….for Georgio … and the Google[plex], which, when the MIC gifted them with Keyhole/GoogleMaps ™, …. carried on the longstanding tradition of excluding Israel from that surveillance:
Teary eyed, I remember that moment so very well, when our public servants, Big Dawg, and the $UZ$ Congress asked the US citizens at large whether they wanted an exclusion from being surveilled too ….and we all gave a rounding applause for Surveillance, Progress, Change, Hope, All Data Wants To Be Known! ….BOOYAH!
Well okay, maybe I am just imagining that profound moment when:
Nonetheless …look how grand it all turned out to be …ain’t it swelll! ….BOOOYAH ……….

(bolding mine, excluded the hyperlinks ™</b, as most, if not all, are not useful enough to take the time to provide the links)
(sorry about that last parenthesized sentence, just meant to boldface “™”)
I am pretty sure SF Weekly knows that is not new… but it can always get more play. Like all the houses, all the “experiments”, all the suicides everywhere…
yeah, it can and should get more play, since it never got any in the first place …the Foothill (Community College!!!!!!) Stanford bit really made me want to put a metaphoric bullet through some mother fucker’s skulls.
SF Weekly is not exactly a big blockbuster publication…. and those sorts of places were not rare… All kinds of papers are all over the place with tons of stuff in them. Hell Obama’s father’s papers have been down at… think it is Stanford, maybe even the Hoover Institute, along with tons of papers that probably should b in Kenya, as part of the independence history…
I think now they, that sort of operation, mostly exists for intell gathering and blackmail uses.

Sorry missed blockquote
The last two paragraphs are from Guardian’s piece., too.
I noticed the headline this morning at The Guardian when I looking for photos… I am glad. Gives him a soapbox outside the US…
oh noesii :0) … ;0) … poor Brits!
(sigh, not that I like that motherfucker that much either (truth be told), … there are so many different flavours of wiener suckers……they appear to be infinite …)
(some clarity: he loved Peter Thiel, PayPal/FaceScan, ..until he didn’t love him, at which point, it was way to late for all the suckers to realize what a Rethug/(DemRat) Mother Fucker Thiel is, …..in all of Peter’s desires to be the big Founder Papa of a Globalized, Cashless Bank Prison of all Bank Prisons.)
(Just like some of the most quiet as a rat JP Morgan etc. Elves, who helped to shake and bake those magical algorithms, have “fanned out,” and are silently working on being big papas in industries like the oh so helpfully mundane, billion dollar, discounted goods/”coupon clipper” industry ….. you certainly won’t see them in the headlines, EVER (noessy! not even on Linked In ™ (“In,” being the asses’ carrot), …until it is way too late to prevent that particular KINGDOM.)

IMF Staff Sees Potential Need for More European Aid to Greece
Just a little office chatter., nothing official you see.
Looks like Mme. LaGarde has repaired to chambers on this errant floater. The Staff sees , you see, a~problem, Houston.. Sorta like NASA Staff sees potential catastrophe after watching shuttle blow up on televised feed.
Obviously,there is just a bit more needed to fortify this all heyah. But we’re so close!
The built-up Bailout layers of loot expertly taped , moist-tissue-paper-togethered and, necessarily they say, pasted in place with skin and hair, to the poverty-vow base of which they’ve adhered more dough spackled on as overlay with , from the looks of things, executive suite cigar and cigarette butts, wads of chewing tobacco and the like, and, apparently, credit default swap panic shit of the cornfed Banker’s poo variety given the way the whole thing is running, What is needed here you see is simply a finish coat of cash stucco and we all can move in.
Avoid the exhaling tho, as warm breath of any kind will rend the edifice asunder….
The staff?
well… OK if they say so!!
I see the whole thing re-igniting before long.
On Mar 9, the ISDA ruled that defaults indeed were triggered
as some bullshit containment figgure ~ $3 Billion USD ~ was trotted out.
This Wednesday, March 14th, (the big story in the financials this week) Goldman Sachs head of EU derivitives Greg Smith resigned to much ado (and bullshit of his own) via parting shot featured on the NYT Editorial page ::
Why I am Leaving Goldman Sachs
GS lost 2 billion in market cap by afternoon, declining towards 4% on Wednesday, precipitating damage control from Blankie and Cohn in response.. Subsequently other GS stakeholders are calling for the board to can the top two ( 2 billion just lost) as fears rise , and clients begin to flee. This comes in the last few weeks when there has been another round of “pursuing other interests” resignations at Goldman, Citi, and JPM.
Also set against this backdrop, the Feds say anyways, that they now have “for years to come” what the financial presses suggest are hundred of co-operating witnesses in ‘Operation Perfect Hedge’ – oh I know – we’ll see – but it all has created quite the stir down the ranks, all but oozing throughout Smith’s Little Lord Fauntleroy piece in the NYT.
There are many reports, again, we’ll see, but the dis-ease is evident ~ that indicate Goldman is soon to have managing directors charged on evil deeds.
pour example
Other reports following ‘Perfect hedge” suggests perp walks for up to 150 of the better dressed of Wall Street. Enh. I won’t holding my breath nor happy till they’re ALL losing appeals in jail.
All that said, The Smith letter, tho full of self serving bullshit and narrative of GS as noble cause gone wayward as of only a few years ago
(Smith has been there for twelve years) , IMO is a must read either way despite, or because of, his strenous ass covering and, if backstory is known to average reader, it being chock-full of thinly veiled threats to spill the beans on Blankfein, Cohn and at least 3 other mananaging directors. The boy says he has email and alludes to things throughout that have not closely reported in the daily press.
I had to LOL tho – as Smith is a Bar Mitzvah boy from SA, holding himself up bronze winner of table tennis games in Israel at what he calls the “Jewish Olympics”. Not exactly rugby, but ya know, Whatever.
LOL…pretty clear… Smith is a snitch.as much as he is hedging: his whole piece tees up the idea of a reformed Goldman, sigh, if only, they could, you know, sigh, get back to the good ole daze ( uhm before – HELLO – he was running Goldman’s EU Derivitives,?) or before he joined the great firm 12 years ago . ..( Or ya know, in Ancient History, Yeh, like a millenia ago when Corzine was fronting the ole butchershop and diamond mine in the 1990′s)
But dig this.
His reference to the GS intern program and the video of interns is particularly creepy, a bit of backstory necessary here, as GS , Citi and JPM had these “workout” conferences in Portugal and Spain between 2009-2010 attended by young hotties of the big firms derivatives desks with top brass from the TBTF and designated ministers thoughout the EU , fixers from the ECB, the ESFS, on so forth… A real flesh connoisseurs connection.
W/r/ the PIIGS bonds and deals struck in Spain, civil litigation subsequently ensued between the TBTF on the one hand and lesser EU banks, provincial and regional authorities now on the hook as counterparties to the marauders on the other. Numerous provincial fixers and lackeys turned out on the continent who put the fix in when the carving took place. People in the streets of Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon; Greece erupting in riots, political cover failing, prosecutors in the EU started poking around, particularly in the PIIGS. Sarko tried to run interference within France and thru the EC, wanting that the shaft be given to both the PIIGS and lesser French banks over the likes of Societe Generale and other nested continentals Paribus, Deutche, Credit Suisse, and of course the consortium of nominally US based banks behind the whole the thing. Goldman Sachs, Citi, and JPM.
Krautfrau and the Germans , not happy to be hustled, were (and still are) happy to have charges examined.
Within the year, as pushback and demands for documentation gathers steam in both civil and criminal cases over these deals, here in the States, there was this young banker at Citi Global Markets, barely out of the intern’s ball at Citi , barely back from the deriviatives desk intern’s ball at the Big PIIGS global workouts in Portugal and Spain ….and she takes a 40 some story header off a Trump building in New York and is swept quietly to pavement curb.
Ya wanna kicker? Jake Siewart, former Clinton Op toady, former Geither-at-Treasury toady in all his Ob Admin Lackey-precious-Lackeyness is landing at Goldman Sachs as their Global Director of Communications Look at Doody’s picture and tell me they are not circling the bowl. Bottom line, as of 2008 , and among all, GS was broke as counterparties to AIG and Lehman. They’re broke now getting sued out the ass, have criminal problems in the EU if not here, have reams of receivables that either can’t or won’t pay, with customers and middle org talent jumping while the getting is good. Hell they had to call in Uncle Warren with the 5 Billion dollar injection last year (which he promptly cashed out)
P R O B L E M S .
Yes….not exactly the light and the way…
Even a small boatload go to jail… I just don’t see that it matters, much at all. So much damage has been done… and there clearly appears to be no desire at any level in this country for institutional change… the rate at which GS, as well as others, is a twin with our government … I think it is by far way too late..
So. Ya dan’t tink rmuchuva cleaned-up Goldman wittanaBama second term? Oh Dear! Don’t you see?
It would clear the way for one of them anoonoo’s!
A new New Third Way! Full Partnership with the President
and the Chairman of his Economic Recovery Board!
Why, Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan of course!
Yep. not much at all. Not here anyways, as there is this dynamic: Really a country on the skids, in such withdrawal that any small dopeshot,of justice will do, sating mind body and soul, maybe 5, 10 min before the killer nod sets in.
The disruption has value,the marketShiyat, As long as they have the Fed as print shop and book-cookery, there is no such thing as {Don’t Laugh Too Hard Now} “banking”, certainly not “savings”…. or.. “prudent reserves”?? Pfft. They don’t even need the Congress as long as the Fed is in place. Which every Fed Chaiman invariably points out in its Charter when giving people a sober, now patented “Go Fuck Yourselves “ They can counterfeit and loot at will. Thing is …so can everybody else. They can terrorize….so can everybody else. They have excellent communications diversions and and both digital and culture-jamming capabilities….so can everybody else. Which really freaks them out. They keep bumping up against obscelence, and the very commoditization and less than zero sum game of their own system. They need to make poverty striken two or three among present Loyalists to deploy an additional mook or two off the ass end of the police state gene pool just to keep treading water. Which by the end of things will be leaking into their networked communication surveillance cam rooms when Teddy from Tampa, Ned from Newark and Britta from Belgium, and Diedre from Dusseldorf move in on the Trunk Show at the Field Club..
Which reminds me..they REALLY got freaked out when people started showing up at restaurants and the Sotheby’s auctions. They know what the head-set is out here. They’ll throw the crowds a few bones before the farce in the fall…..
Speaking of The Third Way, I read a couple of weeks ago that Daley, late of the WH, went to TW, sits on the board or leads it… or some such thing.
Yeah they are all so liberal, whether DLC or TTW…
So screwerewrerewdddddd
Such a busy weekend, and once again caught short in being able to validly discuss, economic matters White Papers ™, across the pond, in any depth, I, once again, lazily revert, once again to the New World Pater Land:
corvids rarely rest (ask “Master” Poe):
(a tip of the hoody, to “Jack,” ….. though …. I must say, ….. regarding the slack he allowed (and I thought I was sappy), I give Clooney far less rope, the motherfucker works on my last nerve; because, clearly wimmins, as Human Beings (I am not talking about dates and sex, are just window dressing for “Georgio,” …other than that, … his pet midget pig, can fill in.)
where the fuck are my manners (I was certainly raised under the $UZ$ school/education scam, to have more respect for our Public Servants and our Speshul Daze), I almost forgot!
Happy Green/Austerity & A Rotted ‘Tater (or swallow your spit and go to bed), as the main course/Let’s Get Drunk Day!
I’d imagine that even the non human bots, working the ghastly assembly line that produces that ghastly, razor sharp “fencing” (in the piccie) to ‘define the neighborhood(s),’ are wanting to get wasted, after so many nicks to their ‘cost cutting,’ highly polished, lurvingly devised, and oh so 24/7 productive bot digits (… hell, when we had human saps on that line, we kept having to mop the floor up after their fingers repeatedly got sliced off, and we had to pay the losers a wage on top of that …).
