Oh my:
James Zogby: “Recent manifestations of rage…are indicators of a dangerous unraveling of some individuals and of the fabric of our very democracy.” (via Open Mic at Politico)
Hand wring hand wring. Furrowed brows… Weep openly for “the fabric of our very democracy”.
But I recall that Zogby voted for Bush in 2000 AND exhorted his US based ME followers to do so as well (and they did). PATCO anyone? Within two years, Americans and legal residents of ME descent were forced to register, by country of national origin, with the local feds. 16 year old sons were taken from mothers – that happened right here in SF, where at least we had coalitions of attorneys to help…
AND Angry Arab has long stated that Zogby is funded by one of the S Arabian princes.. there being so many I cannot remember which one.
I recall that the other Zogby, John the pollster, would address audiences in 2004 and tailor his responses as to who would win (Kerry v Bush) depending on the audience. Several times I heard a shrill giggle from him, most notably after placating Dem audiences that Kerry would win. Why people bought it, I will never know.
Line up the snooker punches for the snookered.

I don’t see how you can fault America’s so-called conservatives for the timidity, pallor, and whiny inefficacy of their cross-aisle colluders.

Shoe dropping… Van Jones has ……………….. resigned.
Apparently he went out shaking a weak fist.. saying he was urged to “stay and fight” but would “resign immediately”… and he said something or other about the “forces that oppose Reform”.
He declined to say which party had more of those (my addition!)
Bye dear.
Van meets the underside of a bus
Film at 11.
if they down another czar or two (and I say the winger forces for destruction are emboldened by how easy this was) I will start an index of Czars Under The Bus.
re PATCO
Of course, that brash philistine Reagan did much of the wetwork of exterminating the US labor movement and with it the left. But the “civilized and educated” ruling class is very much alive and doing quite well, thank you. And one should also add properly dressed
oh that is a scream:
Reminds me of Ralph Lauren’s safari themed collection. Just as ersatz at the end of it all. At $165 for an oxford cloth shirt.. well there is a lot of selection at that price.
at least the eventual mobs of homeless and hungry will have more obvious identification of who to chase with their torches.
what a shock… the Van Jones page at Wikipedia is declared Under Assault.
w00t.
Dude, Where’s My Van?.
Yikes. lol
RFLMAO
wow
Does it get any better than that?? 😆
Apparently, KO is too lazy to do his own research and/or doesn’t have any staff.
Cue ratings Bonanza for BOTH.
It all such shit.
Peripheral,
contained-to-the-media shit.
well.. ’til MSNBC/NBC/GE tells him to lay off.. like with O Reilly.
Meanwhile, via the FT…
Mr. Obama’s Neighborhood
The Unnecessary Death of My Aunt, Hazel by Cynthia McKinney
Too terrible a story to excerpt.
Grim.
This is going to be a fun week with the Hillary movie case coming up before the supremes. CNN showed a clip from it which had Obama insulting her. I see viral in that clip’s future.
Brrrreaking Orange News:
In remembrance: a trip down memory lane.
MoBetta book of condolences.
ah yes complete with photo of the sharp-faced little runt.
so… is he actually BANNED?
Well it got touchy.
A little frisky.
A bit of the peeved.
Oh there was fanfare, tho. There was fuckin fanfare.
Fan Fare There.
Now it’s not like me to point to all the sordid details….
Which begin here. < —— Right there. Just sayin.
Ahp. enhh – nyiWelp. 😥 nyeohsorry, Dickhead –
I thinking she pretty much did. 😥
But HEY SPORTSFANS – back to the Battle of the Blog Shills!
Here’s where it REALLY got Dicey..
D’ohpe! Now He done did it!
Oh it goes downhill from there. …
NOT that one should ever rubberneck at the carnage…
Okay HALFTIME. I’ll be back with more later.
(not that I care to broadcast this) LOL
summertime to summertime, he arrived in summer of 2003… and … I GUESS, is out in summer 6 years later.
So… will they call it damage control? Late… wonder what the REAL story is… and my, isn’t slinkerwink being useful to someone. And dclawyer too.
👿
😆
🙄
I bet they’re all fighting behind the scenes for money.
WaPo’s piece today about how the recession hitting K,/b> Street billings FFS. No doubt the billings are down, less of a need for High Priced Retainers when things are brokered in an ever shrinking ring at the top…
But Jeezis. These small potato shills? Dime a dozen in Politics.
Not to mention the reliance on Trustfundarian kids who’ll work for free to get a resume builder. Meanwhile, The rank and file faithful are broke, the patronage of middling lawyers has dried up for such fluff, as they are looking out for themselves, many of whom have also been cut loose. While the unions have enough of their own problems in the unemployment and money crunch. And the Dem state machines are on the run in Jersey PA Virginia..
Other than that, things ARE FINE. LOL.
No, Dana and all these types have a real mid life crisis on their hands.
Which brings out the UGLY.
Dana was down to one Rec by the thin edge of brutal thread segments.
All I can say? Popcorn, baby. Popcorn. LOL.
BHHM I moved this one forward and I think I caught the lost close bold…
😆
More czars on the conservative hit list.
And they are perfectly free to go after Holdren who is first up in the Politico article, I will CHEER. I looked him up when put in that office… his testimony and writings yes are from the 70s (iirc) but it is extreme when you are looking at ways the Constitution will advance and protect mass sterilisation. In gmail I have quotes of his, will look them up.
So, hey in this case go for it (not that I cared about Van Jones either)
hmm picking thru Dana Houle’s last days at Orange Waste Land… people go after him in the last thread he inhabited (for three days, LOL)… I see catnip is in there as well…
😆
But AH was safe there, and the damage contained. What will he do now that this last venue has been denied? No one in their right mind would allow him on their blog, let alone hire him. I see him wandering the streets, projectile vomiting in the faces of whatever unfortunates he runs across.
What will HE do?
What will my sockpuppet hit team do? LOL
LOL – The unemployed sock hordes. There’s always Barb, Miss Whora, etc. Or have they been banned too?
I say they better start looking at Biden as an enabler of the RIGHT, from within. As if Obster needed help. As for MO, why say anything.
Politico
I said months ago I thought Biden would dine out the rest of his life saying some version of, I tried so hard with Obama, I truly did. I tried to show him the way. I tried to teach him, blah blah blah blah ablah blah blah blah… and so on.
This is just so wrong.
It shouldn’t be dignified with citation and quoting, frankly.
But we must think of History and future generations.
Nuh uh! STEP-DADDY CAN READ! LOL.
oh the step daddy wars. well we all remember those.
Who are these people? And I mean DH AND the curious cadre working the theme-o-day.
Luv to know the REAL story. this one is too pat. “One more meltdown”
Suuuuuuuuure.
Whoops – I replied up top. I suspect they’re all fighting for money as patronage – LOL – the very need for it with Ob – evaporates.
Sorry I missed a close bold there too…
If they “banned” him ..they’ll let him thread thug under another pseudonym. They’ve been running a lot of the old flame bait diaries “critical” of Ob and the Dems and have the downshouters at the ready to silence independent commentary…It’s funny tho the run these chickenshit pieces on the Front Page about Corzine and its the same shills talking to each other in the thread… Their “community” at large == What ?1000, 5000 accounts who post? Their readership could give a shit, despite it being of some TPM importance.
Well, it should be even greater wailing and gnashing of teeth after this Reeeeecess when they do their job and head for the Winter Cave …I’m looking forward to seeing them get slapped hard in November. They’ve done Nothing except serve money. As always.
oh i find the whole thing suspect…. and i am not even up to date
Good Riddance in a new thread…
