So, Snotty Scotty’s gonna testify before Congress – in public and under oath. Not that I’d get my hopes up, but wouldn’t it be funny if McClellan was the one who finally brought down the Bush/Cheney crime family (or at least was the first crack in the wall)? Odds are, he’s just a schmuck lackey who really doesn’t know anything, but, hey, you never know.
Obama’s first (?) organizational problem: (from Slate.com)
Obama’s Friend of Angelo: Barack Obama’s choice of Jim Johnson to vet his VP prospects is already embarrassing his campaign. took at least five real estate loans totaling more than $7 million from Countrywide Financial Corp. through an informal program for friends of the company’s CEO, Angelo Mozilo. …
Mozilo and Countrywide were deeply enmeshed in the subprime meltdown, of course, and Mozilo has been denounced by Obama for his business practices and multi-million dollar compensation. …
Have you ever seen Mozilo? Right out of “Goodfellas” 😯
Leading to my first bout of ‘Bama induced paranoia: (from washtonpost.com)
James A Johnson is not only an American Friend of Bilderbergers he is a Bilderberger and attended the Bilderberg Group meeting of 2008 which occured over the last four days.

About this time each year, the Bilderberg group convenes a weekend conference in a hotel or resort somewhere in North America or Europe in which 120 or so billionaires, bankers, politicians, industrialists, scholars, government officials, influentials from labor and education, and journalists assemble to discuss world affairs in private.
This year, the 56th Bilderberg meeting took place over the weekend at the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, Va., seven miles from Washington Dulles International Airport. As in previous years, Bilderberg critics are berating the mainstream press for observing a “blackout” of a group they believe directs a secret, shadow government.
The critics claim that Bilderberg grooms future American presidents and future British prime ministers, pointing to Bill Clinton’s attendance in 1991 and Tony Blair’s in 1993. :tinfoil:
Uh oh, the little hawk that fledged yesterday was taken by Animal Control. This happened to one last year. The wild bird rehabilitater was going to feed it and then release it on Long Island. It took a lot of harassing by Lincoln fans to finally get him to put it back in central Park. In fact it took a week and yet when it was put back in the park, the parents found it and fed it until it was ready to fend for itself.

Confirming Sue P, …they put the baby back? … :fist: A!I!V!

( 😥 )
Druid, I don’t know what has happened to the little hawk, this year. I’ll post it as soon as I find out.
I was referring to last year. The single baby of Palemale Jr and his mate Charlotte, fledged onto a busy NYC street. Someone, out of concern, called the Animal Control folks who gave the baby to a wild bird rehabilitater. After a week of calls from people, literally all over the world, he put the little hawk back in the park and a park employee was assigned to watch him. The frantic parents found him, very quickly, and all was well.
Let’s hope this year’s baby fares as well.
I think Sam said this week’s Maron v Seder will be on Wednesday. Sam said he was having a meeting with the idiots at AAR, today.
“Let’s hope this year’s baby fares as well.”
Amen!
Here, we have Fledge Watch.
Thank You Sue P., regarding the wee babe. info.. 8)

Drag the button on that page to your browser toolbar, and when you’re typing in a textbox (whether in the comments here or whatever), it will convert all instances of McCain or John McCain to links to stories about John McCain, so the search engines will (presumably) start to get weighted with negative (aka, ‘true’) stories about John McCain (and mccain isn’t even case sensitive).
pjsauter, awwwwww re 7…. :pirate: A!I!V!
Here’s the update on the baby hawk: (scroll down)
http://www.palemale.com/hostmi.html
Bobby Hovrath is the rehabilitater who took the baby hawk, last year. He is the same person who has the new baby.
The people in Syracuse are a lot smarter about fledgling falcons than some of the animal control people in NYC. Oh well, I guess Hovrath will enjoy the phone calls. Last year he got annoyed with the calls and put the little bird back where it belongs.,
Re 9

I heard Lewis Black on TOTN (yeah…back to NPR)
