Paranaque City, Philippines: Filipino police investigators examine the body of a suspected kidnapper killed in a shootout with police [Dennis M. Sabangan/EPA]
What next I wonder…. Roeder phones from Wichita jail, it seems once a day or so… complains of this or that and speaks darkly of acts to come. Some abortion providers have been offered protection, others not. Apparently one of the criteria is that you must be the visible face for abortion rights in your area or a nationally known provider… and even then, not all of those are given a visit, from city, state or federal law enforcement.
I asked moiv if Emily Lyons had been the visible face for abortion care in her area, before being bombed and blinded by Eric Rudolph… Well, no… she was not, til he nearly took her face off…. then she was nationally known.
von Brunn is undergoing heroic efforts to save his life (which is fine with me I prefer to hear from these sorts, than for them to be neatly put down as though they have nothing yet to give up) and of the Arkansas shooter? He seems to have slipped beneath the waves.. Supposedly under surveillance by the EFF BEE EYE – for a year, following, they say, radical conversion to Islam and a trip to Yemen, where he was arrested for traveling on a Somali passport. (I did not know Somalia was together enough to issue passports, apparently so.)
But whoops.. where was that surveillance?
Someone in the government is very happy von Brunn came along to help sink the ARK shooter..him.. just a guess on my part.
In the quick meantime… the ptb have been like pigs for the truffle.. He had connections, connections you say! to the BNP, the ultra nationalist British party that just managed to scam a few seats in the election. His ”connection”? He attended Northern VA meetings designed to raise money for the BNP. A beleaguered (if loaded with ugly opinions and beliefs, earlier acts) pensioner living with his son and claiming, so his supremacist friends say, that his Social Sec had been “slashed” and, he believed, it was due to his beliefs.
Yes … what next.

Judea Pearl, Daniel Pearl’s father, in the WSJ.
All I can say is … GAZA? JENIN? LEBANON?, several times over… and on and on.
We need to go back to the first rock on earth and determine to whom it belonged. Clearly.
😈
How is that vote working out… ?
I’ll be blunt, Obama is not looking hard ass here.. HE is looking SCARED.
What of, one wonders…
GOOD LUCK!
From the comments:
ooo I MISSED that one from Bill C!.. on Obama having ”San Francisco values”. LOL what a hoot.
So, how is that vote working out.
Gays and women should sit out an election or two. They will never be taken seriously til they do.
Smelling salts for Sully, stat!
😆 Well! I droped back in to see if Aravosis had anymore. Post-wise, he has gone to war. http://www.americablog.com/
Multiple posts… one is a line up of reactiions… and Sully has come to… for today.
Oen of the several posts clearly pins this on an Obama pick in the DOJ….
The fact he was on the Lindh case is deceptive. He was on the team of the old time Dem isde of the bed senior partner (who was at MoFo at the time) who took the Lindh case. His name escapes me at the moment.
Bush v Gore.. Coleman v Franken…
Oh Lordy.
Obama just lost my support
All I would say is…. Just now?….
But Oh, the wailing and gnashing of horseteeth.
LOL. That monolith of cellulite, Elise: “Asking Obama to do anything but enforce this law is demanding that he use the Unitary Executive.” WTF is that? Like using the “sanitary facilities”?
Oh my Lord, that girl is dumb as a stump.
Here’s proof of intelligent life in the universe tho –
( I happen to love the gentility, myself. )
Then, that flabby trustfundarian dullard Adam B, who was slated for Law School at his Bar Mitzvah, lest he gnosh his way through every pastry aisle in the country.
What argument does he use to save Oblahmarhama?
How pathetic.
Anyways, A quick shout out to Meatier Blades if you’re reading.
Way to go, dude, on the nod , the school-marmming gig on
“The Leading Liberal Blog™ on the Internet”.
Who’d ya slap down today?
LOL.
Speaking of shoe parties!
First they came for the socks, and I giggled . . . then they came for the shoes. . . .
isn’t that a great story? She got off with a 100 shoes + from the version I heard… fantastic!
Loved it! I have a mental picture of the vixen trotting home with each shoe to present her little fox kits with more, more, MORE TOYS!
I also wondered how old the kits were by the time the stash was discovered. Maybe the mama had started bringing the kits along on night raids for food, and the family shoe count really snowballed as the kits themselves began to collect trophies from their pre-K training sessions in scavenging?
The whole scenario would make a great premise for an illustrated children’s book, eh? Fox Tales and the Nights of the 100 Shoes!
Never a dull moment in the Capital District of New York State. . . .
Update: FBI probes anthrax scare in Schenectady.
Further update on Schenectady investigation – apparently the scare involved a vial of “homeopathic vaccine for anthrax, which can be bought online.”
One of the museum shooter’s sons (in Florida) writes to ABC News (Exclusive: Erik von Brunn on Dad: ‘Beliefs … a Constant Source of Verbal and Mental Abuse’), apologizes to the family of the security guard, and spares no pity whatsoever on not-so-dear old dad.
I can’t even imagine growing up with that much hate in a household…
I’m convinced, walking in there w/ a 22 rifle, that it was basically a suicide, and he managed to fuck that up, too.
What kind of gun nut goes into his planned massacre with a fucking 22 rifle?
practically a hundred year old gun too… oh I agree.. but this thing has grown. Is growing. The guard is a martyr… who even held the door for the shooter.
Carry on.
Apparently he had given away his computer and turned his website over to someone else shortly before the shooting. Got his affairs in order, as it were, prior to public GBCW.
Poor Sully. Honey, when they go this overboard it is not negligence. It is intentional. TRY to take this one personally… 😆
Sully is a moron.

IOZ:
I caught a PBS program during the middle of the night, on “disbelief” by Jonathan Miller the brit play write, author, theatre director, medical dr, etc…
He had a snip of an itnerview with Arthur Miller on religion in America.. who said a minority, but a noisy one, wants an Ayatollah to rise in the US.
Ain’t it the truth.
HIDE!
LMAO. Wow. So Mattie Taylor is an ardent fanboy, a loyal Dem to the point of masochism, a pottymouth blogger. And Teh Gayz. .
LOL. Talk about LEVERAGE.
Yeh -that should work out real well for him, lifting him right out of his dime-a-dozen law practice and propel him, ass end first, right into the Obama Administration.
What a Shemp.
LOL. The Dailykos “Hidden Comments” are provided courtesy of Sockpuppet McGee who says the trick seems to be logging in for a few days in a row while allowing ads. And Voila, Trusted User. Thats it. No insight, No Participation, no nothin. You don’t even have to say or write anything. LOL.
Says sumpin’ about how “valued” the bloginis are……and how desperate Moulitsass is for eyeballs . What a scam:
Markos and The DailyTakeItInTheAss, A place where Demi-people like taylormattd gather to WHINE about it. IN CAPITALS. LOL.
has gone far beyond Bush in supporting State Secrets and the torture regime. ed hornbeck
hmm no no dear ed…
Bush compared gay sex to bestiality. Obrama and his lead atty West (and a west coast fundraiser) and his second atty and author of the filing, Simpson, a Mormon and a Bush era DOJ person, held themselves to incest.
We are making PROGRESS from and with PROGRESSSIVES!
They don’t hold us back, they just hold our hand!
Just imbeciles, the whole lot over there.
I posted something earlier from that nitwit
school marm Elise too: Obama is upholding the LAW! in discriminating against LGBT.
Thank You, Miss Chrome Tits on Truck Mudflaps Feminiserible-urble -ism….
Or whatever she fancies herself..
What a fuckin Weirdo Festival.
Obama is “upholding the LAW.” What a joke.
The Pretzel, “The Law”, “legal” invocation to deny rights when furthering a RW agenda, or, conversely, discarding wrt to detainees and prisoner abuse. It’s going to be a very rough ride through this Administration and beyond indeed. They are consummating the NeoCon Agenda and we have a country full of imbeciles not only willing to abide it, but deluded, truly, and incapable intellectually of perceiving its course: It is inevitable that complete or effective ruin will come at the hands of elites bent on perpetuating military , economic, and social WARfare. Our course is simply unsustainable. No one is TBTF.
GM and Citi are quite the metaphor. Or cracked mirror.
They got exactly what they paid for.
Send money now!
Interesting update on Crusted User status! Just quietly navigate the checkerboard for a while and then presto, it’s King me?! No fawning, no kissyface, no pooties required?
(Then again, is it possible McGee just got lucky with a glitch? Aren’t they about to trade in the old jalopy for an all new-and-improved social engineering interface?)
What’s a Shemp?! You New Jerseyites and your exotic expressions!
BTW, ek hornbeck actually used to be kinda great, at DK – very slyly subversive, for those who cared to notice – before he started playing offense/defense for the docudharma startup. Most of the admins have hated his guts for years, ’cause he was teaching the proles how the ropes and riggings were set.
LOL. A Shemp in this particular instance is
a taylormattd. In general, LOL, it’s
A 4th Stooge on a Three Stooge Team, so to speak.
Or , for the low user id , status symbol-y conscious
3rd* Stooge. —->2ndString.
A Shemp.
Or, perhaps the diminutive is apropos:
“Shemplings”. LOL.
As for the MAMZ system, who knows what that little man does behind the curtain…. McGee says TU evaporates with ad block tho, and is somehow more tied to frequency of logon rather than participation or recommends themselves. Perhaps for new accounts its a little schnausage treat …
All such artifice. Like their towing of the Party Line…
I found it interesting that if you just log on for a few days, sans adblock.. that miraculously you suddenly are TU.
what a funny place. Not funny hahahaha either… 😆
Village Voice… I don’t know how things are moving along in Albany.. I lost track of a couple of days this week.. Poof! Days were gone!
He closes off hoping this is yet another (has there been one? IN OFFICE? Post inauguration?) brilliant Obama “rope a dope” game.
Oh sweeties.. there was a BIG Rope a Dope game: IN NOVEMBER.
Don’t you know anything about boxing, mcat?
…He closes off hoping this is yet another (has there been one? IN OFFICE? Post inauguration?) brilliant Obama “rope a dope” game. -mcat
This is no ordinary “rope a dope”.
This is Obama™ Rope a Dope. It’s New!
Obama™ Rope a dope is where, like in the primaries, when footwork began to fail him, and Oblam blam blamma was getting the proverbial shit beaten out of him , he nonetheless managed to squeak to the bell because of a celebrated start. It was “Part. of. the. Strategy™”. Like, (who can forget) , his famous Secret Squirrel™ “Liberal” Strategy merely “pandering” – “politically” – to the Right Wing. Wholly consistent with his claims of “transparency” . Definitely Not “LYING” and “the “Same Old Politics”. That “wouldn’t be prudent” for an “antiwar” “fighter”…. “like Obama”.
Give him TIME, tho. LOL. This will be like Rocky for all the slobber and incomprehensibility. (Not recommended for burning up the Netflix tho)
Rocky 2012. But by 2010.
His biggest rope a dope game was on race. Oh he played that one HARD. And the white boys behind him. They played it hard and fast too.
Fukc them frankly.
Good (horrifically sad) movie: The Magdalene Sisters
That one’s a heartbreaker. Searing view of life as a slavegirl behind the convent walls.
I learned recently that the Church ran one of these laundries in Troy (NY), too.
one of the worst things I read about the Magdalene Laundries AND the recent revelations (aside from all the torture), they were from time to time paraded thru town and spat upon.
The church IS medieval.
According to the dkos “state of the nation” poll, Obamalama’s popularity has dropped 5 points this past week. Took them long enough to start catching on over there.
John Aravosis has an informative post up about the BS they’re trying to sell at dkos and elsewhere about the DOJ having to defend the law as it stands.
oh too funny…
David Ehrenstein, who wrote the LAT “Magical Negro” opinion piece (he links to it in the body of this post) in 2007 has a post up on the legal filing:
You have NO IDEA how enraged I am. I am now devoted to Barry’s complete political destruction and prolonged public humiliation.
There are scared Obamaites running around dkos insisting that protesting means nothing. IOW, dog forbid TEH GAYZ should get out there in the streets in DC and tell Obama exactly what they think of him – loudly. They should organize a million gays march and go for it. I’m sure enough of them are angry enough now to make that happen. More power to ’em.
well … the October ”March on DC” was already scaled down to ”Meet on the Mall” (i guess for tea and crumpets). What a HOOT!
Can’t tell me some gay orgs did not know what was coming. Collaborators… 😈
Carry on!
I’d be telling him where to stick his crumpets.
I wonder if Kos (scared of TEH GAYZ in the army showers man) will be telling the LGBT Studies Set where they can go…
great piece!
“Ya don’t say. Gee, wasn’t he supposed to be The Most Liberal POTUS EVAH?
Guess not.”
Check out the revamped posters. Ouchie.
that photo is from the protest outside his SO California fundraiser of a couple of weeks ago, gays protested and inside he laughed at them. Gotta love it.
Less talked about twas that despite big money sponsors and a myriad of music performers, the tickets moved slowly and one tier of a three tier event had to be dropped down to the lowest price to sell it out.
All about hope and change.
Dwindling hope and spare change?
😉
More fox reveries gone to the mod closet, I think!
Out now, thanks!
BTW – regarding the NYS Senate – yet another judge (this was #3, I think) told both sides to work it out over the weekend (and asked for a copy of arcane Senate rules), or else. Good luck with that! Not sure the pols are even bothering to pretend they’re gonna try to “solve” this themselves.
Monserrate (the indicted Dem girlfriend-slasher) is continuing to dither, however, so the whole House of Double-Faced Cards (and how!) could tumble at any time.
Meanwhile, some GOP idiot in the Assembly took brave and crucial action in another important arena the other day – he wrote a Big Missive to the network demanding that David Letterman be fired (!!!) for recent Palin jokes.
They should all be fired themselves, for Impersonating Public Officials.
Looks like Rockmadinejad the Vote worked. He’s been declared the winner.
Iran SMS networks “mysteriously” fail right before elections
Probably trying to stop people from using the systems to organize, as they have in other countries.

Why I Now Support Gay Marriage By TOM SUOZZI
It will be interesting to watch as local elected pol after LEP comes forward… and what this WH does. My own guess, the WH digs in. Clue: it’s not a smart place.
Just my take.
Why did they not call off the dogs in the mil? They could have stopped the witch hunts, at the very least. They did not.
US cities may have to be bulldozed in order to survive
That is a stunning article.. thanks for that…
it’s going to require a massive change in the way society operates, and I frankly don’t think we’re up to it.
the thread was very good…

Progress:
Obama v justice for torture victims. This should be fun.
White refused to dismiss Jose Padilla’s lawsuit against former senior Justice Department official John Yoo on Friday.
oh I can hear the righties now… A judge in SAN FRANCISCO luvs terrorists.. 😆 And Padilla’s case sure needs an airing…
And here Yoo is right on the spot, in CA, a tenured Berkeley professor.

i am thinking of you tonight, i just peeked in@ the new assholery on dkos over the new DOMA brief.
oh isn’t that brief ridiculous? I am jsut cathcing up on all the threads at Americablog. Aravosis is an asswhatever, but the threads are good…
Well I hope people stay mad.
I just read today that hte lead name on the brief, West, (Simpson was the actual author) is the husband of Kamala Harris, our Democratic Party star (they tell us all the time!) and SF ugh… she is not city atty… she is the city DA (had to search my brain a bit). A top supporter and personal friend of ObRama.
These people so need to get over themselves.
