So, big day yesterday. Scooter’s convicted, if not in prison just yet. Lots of interesting testimony in the House and Senate about all these fired US Attorneys. I doubt anything will come of it, but, hey, you never know. If the Democrats can just keep piling it on and investigating the hell out of these cretins, at the very least, maybe we can get a Lieberproof Senate Majority in ’08, and kick that weaselly motherfucker out the door, and across the aisle (as David Sirota wrote, he wishes Lieberman would just go ahead and switch parties and that “…his melting, Emperor-from-Star-Wars face would stop appearing on my television set and freaking out my dog, Monty“. At best, maybe Barbara Lee, Jerrold Nadler, Maurice Hinchey and the rest of the House Democrats’ progressive caucus will actually take the party back from the pandering “leadership.” One can only hope.
It’s hump day – go hump something.

In honor of the verdict…
something we haven’t done in a long time…
a Fitzmas carol!
:banana: :banana: :banana:
Sung to the tune of “Walkin’ In A Winter Wonderland.”
They have reached
A decision
One and all
No division
The jury has said
It’s off with his head
Throwin’ Scooter Libby in the can
Look at Fitz
See him smile
What a win
What a trial
He feels so alive
He went 4 for 5
Throwin’ Scooter Libby in the can
In the shower guys will punch and beat him
Then pretend that he is Condi Rice
Karl Rove didn’t want Fitz to defeat him
But Joe and Val’rie Wilson think it’s nice
Later on
More excitement
Fitz will win
New indictments
Now Bush is perplexed
Could Cheney be next?
Joinin’ Scooter Libby in the can
:yippee: :yippee: :yippee:
Mark Russell, eat your heart out. 😀
Don’t know that the world really needs another Mark Rusell impersonator. I think it’s Jonathan Swift or Cole Porter that we need right now.
Fitz graduated my high school – about ten years after i did — so i’m personally invested. He’s a frickin’ machine; I wish he was the one prosecuting Delay. With that said, i don’t think he’s taking this any farther. think he’s closing up shop and going back to sweet home Chicago, where the fishin’s easy. Its up to Wilson in his civil suit, and the dems in their ivestigations, to make further disclosures. But jeesh, do we really need more proof that Cheney is a criminal, and that the mainstream media are a bunch of worthless tools? Impeach Cheney already and get it over with; leave Bush there in his underwear. :sammy:
Kevin did you write that yourself? Outstanding!

Thank you, Kevin, I’ll be humming that tune today.
Morning. all. Gotta go to work.
:fustrate: this fucking lewis libby shit is pointless! nothing has REALLY been accomplished with it, sure its adds a little extra tarnish to the administration but nothing substantive has come from it and probably nothing ever will!!!!!
seanie…dont you know what the record now reflects?…Cheney told him to do it….wilson has a civil suit pending against libby, cheney and a host of others….this action endangered hundreds of people that Plame did business with over the years as an agent….she has a book coming out as soon as the CIA vetts it…Wilson says that they havent had any problem with content, but that they have a sticking point on when she worked for them….huh?…Like they cant admit that she was an employee in 2002….?
Its silly…
But this is all good news and its telling the american people that the president’s office is breaking the law.
Its also telling the american people and the soldiers in Iraq that it doesnt matter who orders you to do anything, you have to follow the law!
Seanie-whats the game and is it just plain old x-box?
Oh, I see from yesterday…I will ask him which games he has…he has only regular x-box right now.
I also have a wireless thingy for it so it goes right into the network.
Do you have to pay M$ to play in their online world?…dumb question!
Its credits or something , right? interchangable with the Zune.
SeanMS, I Think I Have [Sick] Hope since I believe like a caller who even made Bill Press see that Fitz…(sp) was just sending a cryptic sign to the DEMS saying Tag You’re It!
A.I.V.
It really all depends on whether or not the Democratic leadership either gets tossed aside, or grows a spine. For some reason (I reckon ‘cuz they’ve been beaten up for so long – kinda like battered wife syndrome or something) they’re practically comatose. Paralyzed that they’re gonna do something “wrong” and the Republicans are gonna be mean to them. Well, fuckin’ A, man. Public opinion is on their side, everybody who isn’t a true believer knows that this is the most disastrous administration there’s ever been, and that it was enabled by the Republicans in Congress. Time to stand up. Even if they can’t get anything through the Senate right now, they need to at least prevent Bush from fucking things up even worse.
Cut off the funding for everything but support and withdrawal. Let’s bring our guys and gals back home.
God, I hate this school shit. I should be brewing beer right now.

Good morning, globbren…er…bloggren. Too much :40: over the Libby verdict last night, I guess.
Kevin, do you post those to any of the political filk websites? You really should. I’ll see if I can find some of my links for you tonight if you don’t have any yourself.
I already commented at Huffpo. Took for-fucking-EVER to get logged on there. Then I posted the comment at Alternet, as well, and I’m waiting to see where else it shows up.
Turns out I won’t be in Seattle on Saturday. 🙁 Maybe next month.
PJ, you can come brew at my house. I even once had a whole altar dedicated to it.
Okay, here‘s a bit of synchronicity I don’t want to deal with. McKay is the attorney who was overseeing the US Attorney who prosecuted my ex-husband. I don’t want this guy fired! I do NOT want my ex to have any excuse to claim prejudice or malfeasance or anything that can possibly get him out of the joint early. Because until he’s been in 10 years (he got a 15 year sentence and the judge was being nice) he might still remember how to find me.

Congressional subpoenas were staved off yesterday by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, when a deal was brokered to turn over the results of an investigation into allegations of misconduct in the space agency’s Office of the Inspector General, RAW STORY has learned.
snip
Little public information exists about the allegations of misconduct against the NASA Inspector General. In Feb. 2006, the Washington Post reported on claims that Inspector General Robert W. Cobb had failed to follow up on reported safety violations and had outed whistleblowers to their bosses.
snip
Cobb was accused of quashing investigations related to a malfunctioning self-destruct procedure during a space shuttle launch at the Kennedy Space Center and the theft of an estimated $1.9 billion worth of data on rocket engines from NASA computers, the Post noted. Some former subordinates also made statements to the Post on the record, with one stating that he “created a hostile work environment.”
Cobb became NASA’s Inspector General in early 2002 after more than a year of working as an Associate Counsel to the President. He continues to serve in the post.

Hey, wait a minute! Don’t write us all off. Not everyone in a Southern state drives a pickup with a gun rack in the back and chews tobacco. (Although I think Molly Ivins probably did all of those things at one time or another.) 😀
Besides, we finally figured out how to get the seniors to not screw up their voting. We’re going to give them ballots that look like bingo cards. Hell, they can handle seven or eight of those at one time!
:rofl2:
Not to mention that Evil Brother Jeb finally had to slink off into the darkness. Although I did find his druggie daughter kinda hot. :hubba:
At the same time, actually. She was one helluva woman!
BTW, Kevin, I only have one bottle of homebrew left. That’s why I want PJ to come here. I don’t like brewing by myself. (My brew buddies are a couple in Vancouver, WA, and since the hubby is stationed overseas right now it’s just her and she doesn’t feel like doing it without him… 🙁 )
Hey, Kevin, I need some help. I sorta volunteered to write a parody of Anny the Tranny based on her obscene physical resemblance to Food Network personality and alcoholic bad cook Sandra Lee. I’m planning to title it, “Semi-homemade political commentary.” Any suggestions?
Also, is anyone here up on what’s new in futurism? I’m starting research for next November’s Nanowrimo and as I plan to do a future anti-utopia I probably ought to pay attention to what is predicted for the future.
Personally I don’t think this Sandra Lee person looks that much like Mann Coulter, based on the photo you posted. But if she cooks and likes to drink, maybe you should send her over to my place. :hubba:
Maybe a Food Network parody with Mann hosting a show. She could get drunk on cooking wine and start spouting off about how much she hates buying Asian vegetables at the Korean market because of all the chinks and gooks there.
Or maybe she’s having a piece of apple pie, and a large chunk of apple gets stuck in her throat just before she is to give a speech on why God hates transvestites. Sitcom hilarity ensues.
Perhaps Guiliani could attend the speech too, since he seems to enjoy cross-dressing so much.
I’ll post more ideas as they pop into my diseased mind. 🙂
re PJ you rascal probably in class now, but :rant1: the following is ALL YOURFAULT :billcat:
I went from the beer launching fridge to the eponymous web site clicked cheap mp3 players etc. Ended up at overstock.com where I found a player that did mp3 and wma and fm radio and had headphones (not f*ing ear poops which I can never get in right i.e.so they don’t fall out) BUT I have a MAC and the requirements say windows 98 or higher and explorer 6 or higher. I want the thing for podcasts. Can I do this without going to college for two years?
Did I mention the price for all this reconditioned Philllips wonder is under $30? TIA
WANWENXIA! Share the link!!!!! (Although I’d like one that also does video for under $30 I’ll settle…)
And, Kevin, watch Semi-Homemade Cooking just once and you’ll see why I call the broad alcoholic. She doesn’t so much cook as assemble boxed and packaged ingredients and then make potent drinks to accompany them, all to the swaying of her poorly supported boobies.
This is the link. On looking at the larger picture, I see the ear gear is not headphones, but ear buds on individual over the ear holders. If I get a positive reply I could order 2 and we could split the $2.95 shipping. :banana: :pup: :yippee:
:pup: Baobao ends senile regards to :pup: Faraday.
I’m not sure if it’s the one I want, but I’ll think about splitting it with you, Wan. It’ll be a week before I have the fundage. And I still have to pay for and pick up my new (ish) bed.
Oh, Faraday is so used to senile regards. He grew up with a senile older sister. Tell Baobao Faraday sends comradely butt sniffs back.
:pup: :pup: :pup:
God, I can’t believe it’s only 7:38. This class is never gonna end. And my turn signals didn’t work on the way here, so now I have to figure out how to drive home in a straight line. That’s gonna take a while.
FWIW the cheapest video player at this site is $59.99 but all three reviews complain about how bad the instruction book is. :holla:
You have my sympathy, PJ. I have a really hard time in boring classes and meetings.
My boss told me that I cannot do the crossword during meetings. Now, I have to seat myself carefully so as not to be in her line of easy sight and fold up that puzzle and stick it under a book. I consider it my duty to finish the puzzle during the meeting.
Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards will skip an August 14 debate hosted by the Fox News Channel and the Nevada Democratic Party.
snip
Edwards’ decision to pass on the Fox-hosted debate is being hailed as a victory by online critics who have opposed the debate and have pushed for the Nevada Democratic Party to drop Fox as a broadcasting partner.
“MoveOn.org Civic Action says it has collected more than 260,000 signatures on a petition that calls the cable network a ‘mouthpiece for the Republican Party, not a legitimate news channel,'” writes the AP.

Me, too, Druid. I think it’s an insult beside being stupid, to lend any credibility to Fox Noise
Jonathan Turley, on Olbermann, said that the legislation that was “slipped” into legislation which allowed the firing of the 8 fed prosecuters, and of which all the senators claim to be unaware, was probably the brain chaild of a whitehouser who had in mind these firings.
Supposedly the guy who slipped this in was a Rove ally who came to work for Specter. Specter claims no knowledge of the provision but he hasn’t fired the guy.
Gets curioser and curioser, as Alice said.

The juror thinks Scooter should be pardoned because he was a nice guy. He lied, what the heck…No biggie…She’d rather be on juicer cases anyway… Kate O’Beirne agrees, naturally. She is also sitting right next to the juror saying that Libby didn’t lie and wasn’t really guilty. The juror says nothing. How much do people want to bet that this woman is going to end up being the poster girl for the Free Scooter campaign?

Nope, nothing but clips from MS and TMMS. Had hoped to do more at some point, but that never happened. Some day, maybe. Switched from Linux to running it on Windows, though. It’s ungodly easy, and you should have no problem doing it. Just download WinAmp, download the ShoutCast server, and download the ShoutCast DSP plugin. All you really need to change in the shoutcast config file is the password. Then start the server and run the plugin. You’ll broadcast whatever is playing on WinAmp. If you’re behind a router, you’ll need to configure port forwarding, but that’s about it.
