Shooting it in the Head

One does wonder how Republicans have such superpowers, and Democrats do not.

Lott noted that technically, a hold is only a request from a senator to the party leader to be notified when a particular bill comes up. In real terms, "that's the same as shooting it in the head with a bullet," Lott said.

Wow! Except in Harry Reid's Senate, only Republicans get the bullets! Amazing!

As much as this new alliance makes Liebermann seem even MORE Republican, I wonder if - over there on the so-called "right" - it also makes McCain seem even more Democratic? And therefore, he loses a lot of GOP support? Just askin'.

Interior Department revives bison range talks
Posted: December 17, 2007
by: The Associated Press

By Mary Clare Jalonick -- Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) - A recently installed Interior Department official has revived stalled negotiations between the government and an Indian tribe over management of Montana's National Bison Range.

The Fish and Wildlife Service and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes have been at odds over daily management of the range, which is owned by the agency but lies within the boundaries of the Flathead Indian Reservation.

Lyle Laverty, Interior's new assistant secretary for fish and wildlife and parks, wrote in a Nov. 26 memo to regional Fish and Wildlife Service officials that lack of resolution on the issue is ''distracting us from our mission.''

He ordered the officials to work with third-party facilitators and resolve the issue by March 28.

''Let's bring this issue to closure!'' Laverty wrote.

The Permanent Republican Majority: Part III - Running elections from the White House
Larisa Alexandrovna, Muriel Kane and Lindsay Beyerstein
Published: Sunday December 16, 2007

Lobbyist pressured to recant story about Abramoff meeting Rove on street corner

Part I of this series explored the long-term involvement of two men -- GOP consultant Bill Canary and Alabama Attorney General William Pryor -- in the events leading to the imprisonment last summer of former Alabama Democratic governor Don Siegelman.

That train of events began in 1998, when Canary managed Pryor's campaign for re-election as Alabama attorney general. Immediately afterwards, Pryor began the investigation of Siegelman that eventually led to the newly-elected governor's conviction on corruption charges in 2006.

Canary's wife, Leura Canary, federalized Pryor's investigation in 2001, after President George W. Bush appointed her as US Attorney for the Middle District of Alabama. Closely tied to Pryor, whose campaign was advised by her husband, Canary also appointed the wife of the Attorney General's lawyer and close advisor, Christopher Weller, as her first assistant.

As Canary's investigation proceeded, Siegelman's potential Republican challengers began to hammer him hard on ethics issues, drawing heavily on leaks from the Pryor and Canary investigations to do so. In a letter to the Department of Justice requesting Leura Canary's recusal, Siegelman's lawyer noted that he had traced the leaks to a source in Bill Canary's office. There is no evidence that the Justice Department ever investigated any of these leaks.

In the 2002 race for Alabama governor, Bill Canary advised the campaign of Siegelman's Republican opponent, Rep. Bob Riley. Pryor ensured Riley's victory in that extremely close race when he declared that unsealing the ballots for a recount would be a crime.

Yeah, either Atrios or Greenwald pointed out on Sam's Sunday show, IIRC, that Harry Reid didn't have the same response when Chris Dodd, a DEMOCRAT!, tried to put a hold on a bill. Why does Harry Reid jump when Lyndsey "Shut that closet door!" Graham tells him to, yet goes against a member of his own party?

Forget Cheney and Bush... do we need to start with impeachment/removal of Reid and Pelosi?

Yessssssssssssssssssssssss the WGA strike is a fight that must be won. The Media consilatition is the real issue that has given the studios their power. Since the relaxing of FCC and anti trust rules, and the tele communications act of 1996, the studios were able to buy out and shut down their competetion. As a result they call the shots for writers, artists and creators, it has become their way or the highway. With only six companies controling media, thousands of independent studios and production companies have dissapeared. As a result they are controlling all that we see and hear ( like the control voice from the Outer Limits ). That's why the writers strike is so important. The Media companies want to have all the profits and drive down labor's income to third world levels. As well as ship jobs to third world and other markets. I've seen it first hand in animation, companies like Hana Barbera and others were bought up and shut down. I and hundreds of other animation artists found our work pool shrinking and becoming more coporate, and the trend continues in all walks of the American job market.

Thanks for the excellent idea!!

Idiot extraordinaire

is a dumbass.

Description:

By signing here, I agree to do my best efforts to dump Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Steny Hoyer, who have failed miserably to challenge the law-breaking activities of the Cheney-Bush Regime and have morphed into "Republican Right-Lite".

Having resigned themselves to enacting bills with Republicans, instead of standing their moral ground, these three have betrayed the party, more interested in keeping their power base, than doing the bidding of those of us who put them there.

If we wanted mushy, spineless leaders, we would have re-elected mental defects like Armey, Boehner, Gingrich, Hastert & Lott. If we wanted mountains of new, irresponsible debt, we would have resurrected Ronnie Reagan.

If we sought a "War without End, Conquest without Victory", we would have resurrected Ghengas Khan.

I will work in my community, my 'personal sphere of influence' (business & neighbors), also to encourage elected Dems for my district, to "Dump the Leadership", start local efforts to encourage others in this effort and commit to forcing the party to return to its base
of "Free Speech, Pro-Peace, Civil Liberties" advocacy and defense..

Bush Says US Economy Is Safe and Sound
Bush Tries to Reassure Americans About Economy, Says Overall It's Sound

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. -- President Bush worked to reassure Americans on Monday about the economy but said "there's definitely some storm clouds and concern" because of the nation's credit crunch and mortgage problems.

"But the underpinning is good," Bush told business and community leaders at a gathering of Rotary Club members.

"We've had a pretty good economic run," the president said in a speech intended to show he is aware of the public's edgy mood these days. Consumer confidence has eroded as turmoil in the housing and credit market have battered the economy.

Bush tried to position himself as an advocate for working families by taking aim at his favorite target: the Democratic Congress.

"The Congress cannot take economic vitality for granted," Bush said.

"The most negative thing Congress can do in the face of economic uncertainty is to raise taxes on the American people," Bush said.

The audience of roughly 80 people listened to Bush with respectful silence. Yet a line that normally gets him applause - "I'll veto any tax increase" - drew no reaction at all.

Bush chose to highlight positive economic news, such as job growth. "People are working; productivity is high," Bush said.

He acknowledged the nation's major economic woes - mainly the housing and credit crunch - in the context of explaining what his administration is doing to help.

Big Table Fantasies
By PAUL KRUGMAN
Broadly speaking, the serious contenders for the Democratic nomination are offering similar policy proposals — the dispute over health care mandates notwithstanding. But there are large differences among the candidates in their beliefs about what it will take to turn a progressive agenda into reality.

At one extreme, Barack Obama insists that the problem with America is that our politics are so “bitter and partisan,” and insists that he can get things done by ushering in a “different kind of politics.”

At the opposite extreme, John Edwards blames the power of the wealthy and corporate interests for our problems, and says, in effect, that America needs another F.D.R. — a polarizing figure, the object of much hatred from the right, who nonetheless succeeded in making big changes.

Over the last few days Mr. Obama and Mr. Edwards have been conducting a long-range argument over health care that gets right to this issue. And I have to say that Mr. Obama comes off looking, well, naïve.

The argument began during the Democratic debate, when the moderator — Carolyn Washburn, the editor of The Des Moines Register — suggested that Mr. Edwards shouldn’t be so harsh on the wealthy and special interests, because “the same groups are often responsible for getting things done in Washington.”

Mr. Edwards replied, “Some people argue that we’re going to sit at a table with these people and they’re going to voluntarily give their power away. I think it is a complete fantasy; it will never happen.”

This was pretty clearly a swipe at Mr. Obama, who has repeatedly said that health reform should be negotiated at a “big table” that would include insurance companies and drug companies.

On Saturday Mr. Obama responded, this time criticizing Mr. Edwards by name. He declared that “We want to reduce the power of drug companies and insurance companies and so forth, but the notion that they will have no say-so at all in anything is just not realistic.”

Hmm. Do Obama supporters who celebrate his hoped-for ability to bring us together realize that “us” includes the insurance and drug lobbies?

Conyers, Kennedy Join Push for Special Prosecutor
By Paul Kiel - December 17, 2007, 2:17PM
When news broke that the CIA had kept videotapes showing torture of detainees secret and then secretly destroyed them, Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) was fast out of the gate: the scandal "leads right into the White House," he said, and the need for a special prosecutor was clear.

But that was about it. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) was quick to dismiss the need for one, saying that Congressional inquiries were enough. And the hard-charging investigation led by the House intelligence committee seemed to indicate that might be true. When Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ), a member of the House intelligence committee, wrote Attorney General Michael Mukasey to formally request the appointment of a special prosecutor, expectations were low.

As expected, Mukasey said no. Or as he put it in a letter to Congress Friday, "I am aware of no facts at present to suggest that Department attorneys cannot conduct this inquiry in an impartial manner."

But with the Department rebuffing Congressional inquiries, Rockefeller's rationale has been turned on its head. The momentum seems to have shifted.

On Friday, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) said in a statement that Mukasey's "disturbing" refusal to answer Congressional questions about the tapes' destruction "calls into question whether the Department of Justice is best able to investigate these matters.”

And the same day, Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) echoed Sen. Biden's comments from the week before.

Put all that together and you now have the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and two prominent members of the Senate Judiciary Committee leaning towards a special prosecutor. Whether that momentum builds any more depends largely on how successful the House intelligence committee is in defying the Justice Department's attempt to stifle its investigation. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has said that he would call for a special prosecutor if the committee's don't get cooperation.

Mr. Edwards replied, “Some people argue that we’re going to sit at a table with these people and they’re going to voluntarily give their power away. I think it is a complete fantasy; it will never happen.”

This was pretty clearly a swipe at Mr. Obama, who has repeatedly said that health reform should be negotiated at a “big table” that would include insurance companies and drug companies.

On Saturday Mr. Obama responded, this time criticizing Mr. Edwards by name. He declared that “We want to reduce the power of drug companies and insurance companies and so forth, but the notion that they will have no say-so at all in anything is just not realistic.”

Hmm. Do Obama supporters who celebrate his hoped-for ability to bring us together realize that “us” includes the insurance and drug lobbies?

O.K., more seriously, it’s actually Mr. Obama who’s being unrealistic here, believing that the insurance and drug industries — which are, in large part, the cause of our health care problems — will be willing to play a constructive role in health reform. The fact is that there’s no way to reduce the gross wastefulness of our health system without also reducing the profits of the industries that generate the waste.

As a result, drug and insurance companies — backed by the conservative movement as a whole — will be implacably opposed to any significant reforms. And what would Mr. Obama do then? “I'll get on television and say Harry and Louise are lying,” he says. I'm sure the lobbyists are terrified.

As health care goes, so goes the rest of the progressive agenda. Anyone who thinks that the next president can achieve real change without bitter confrontation is living in a fantasy world.

Which brings me to a big worry about Mr. Obama: in an important sense, he has in effect become the anti-change candidate.

There’s a strong populist tide running in America right now. For example, a recent Democracy Corps survey of voter discontent found that the most commonly chosen phrase explaining what’s wrong with the country was “Big businesses get whatever they want in Washington.”

And there’s every reason to believe that the Democrats can win big next year if they run with that populist tide. The latest evidence came from focus groups run by both Fox News and CNN during last week’s Democratic debate: both declared Mr. Edwards the clear winner.

But the news media recoil from populist appeals. The Des Moines Register, which endorsed Mr. Edwards in 2004, rejected him this time on the grounds that his “harsh anti-corporate rhetoric would make it difficult to work with the business community to forge change.”

And while The Register endorsed Hillary Clinton, the prime beneficiary of media distaste for populism has clearly been Mr. Obama, with his message of reconciliation. According to a recent survey by the Project for Excellence in Journalism, Mr. Obama’s coverage has been far more favorable than that of any other candidate.

So what happens if Mr. Obama is the nominee?

He will probably win — but not as big as a candidate who ran on a more populist platform. Let’s be blunt: pundits who say that what voters really want is a candidate who makes them feel good, that they want an end to harsh partisanship, are projecting their own desires onto the public.

And nothing Mr. Obama has said suggests that he appreciates the bitterness of the battles he will have to fight if he does become president, and tries to get anything done.

Second votes could sway close Iowa Democratic race

John Whitesides, Political Correspondent
Reuters North American News Service

Dec 17, 2007 11:55 EST

ANKENY, Iowa (Reuters) - In Iowa's unpredictable Democratic presidential scramble, a voter's second choice can be as important as the first -- and ultimately could make the difference in a tight race.

Under the arcane rules in Iowa's Jan. 3 contest, which opens the state-by-state race to choose candidates for the November 2008 election, Democratic contenders are required to muster support from at least 15 percent of the attendees in each precinct to be considered viable.

If a candidate cannot reach that threshold, his backers can switch to a second choice. This is a potential boost for leading contenders Barack Obama, John Edwards and Hillary Clinton, whose campaigns have worked hard to identify and court supporters of second-tier contenders.

In many precincts, supporters of candidates like New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich or U.S. Sens. Joseph Biden of Delaware and Chris Dodd of Connecticut could find themselves free agents looking for someone else to back.

The phenomenon could be another hurdle for Clinton in Iowa, as polls show Edwards, the former U.S. senator from North Carolina, and Obama, a first-term Illinois senator, gain slightly more second-choice voters.

"The question of viability and second choices is a huge wild card, particularly in a very close race," said Gordon Fischer, former chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party and an Obama supporter.

Environmentalists lose appeal of landfill near ancient burial site
Posted: December 17, 2007
by: The Associated Press

By Jim Suhr -- Associated Press

MADISON, Ill. (AP) - An independent pollution control agency has rejected environmentalists' claims that a planned landfill could desecrate possible burial grounds near the ruins of a once-thriving prehistoric city.

The Illinois Sierra Club and American Bottom Conservancy failed to show that Madison's approval process for a landfill near the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site was ''fundamentally unfair,'' the Illinois Pollution Control Board ruled Dec. 6.

The St. Louis suburb, which approved the landfill in February, would get roughly $1 million a year in fees from Houston-based Waste Management Inc., the nation's largest garbage hauler.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), born after the Watergate scandal, establishes how the government can secretly eavesdrop on Americans in their own country in intelligence investigations. It was originally passed to allow the government to collect foreign intelligence information involving communications with "agents of foreign powers."

Today, however, the federal government is exploiting this once-narrow exception to make an end-run around the Constitution. The USA Patriot Act, passed by Congress in 2001 and re-authorized in 2006, expanded FISA to allow the government to obtain the personal records of ordinary Americans from libraries and Internet Service Providers, even when they have no connection to terrorism. Recent amendments in the Protect America Act now authorize the government to use FISA to get around the constitutional requirement that it show a judge that it has probable cause of involvement with a foreign country or terror group before it eavesdrops on a communication.

Jesus returns not as a lamb but as a lion - the lion of truth. He returns not in the flesh, but as light. Time cameras are perfected in 2009, and in 2010 seccret study groups follow the path of his life, having found via time-camera the actual person on whom christianity is based. The time-scanner units fast-tape his 33 year life, but the process only takes 9 months. In Feb. of 2011, a boxed DVD set of actual outakes is presented to the public. The following year becomes known as the year of the gaspipe. While most of the suicides are commited by use of pills, the quaint custom of self-asphixiation via gas still captures the media's imagination. Arguably the funniest result is a rapidly growing cult based on images of Yehashua ben Yosef picking his nose, The Church of The Holy Nose Goblin. Of course, the time camera related turmoil is quickly overshadowed by the subsequent development of the empath nanite...

ACLU:
Senator Reid and Speaker Pelosi,

You crossed the line, played right into the hands of President Bush and rewarded his lawless behavior when you allowed the FISA bills to go through Congress, giving the President and his administration more power to invade our privacy and ignore our Constitutional rights.

We demand that you make immediate fixes to FISA. Furthermore, we want to see Congress work to restore our Constitution, not destroy it, including:

End rampant surveillance and warrantless spying on Americans.

Restore habeas corpus and due process.

Shut down Guantánamo Bay and give those held there access to justice.

Stop torture and extraordinary rendition: secretly kidnapping people and sending them to countries that torture.

I will not tolerate your continued failure to hold the executive branch in check.

"Hello to our friends and fans in domestic surveillance."

then isn't paganism a variform toxin that attacks several centers of the mind, body, and spirit?

Adam-ondi-Ahman (sometimes clipped to Diahman) is a historic site along the east bluffs above the Grand River in Daviess County, Missouri. According to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), it is the site to where Adam and Eve were banished after being cast out from the Garden of Eden and will be a gathering spot for a meeting of the priesthood leadership, including prophets of all ages and other righteous men, prior to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

It was the proposed site for a Latter Day Saint temple (which was never built) and a flash point in the Mormon War to evict the Mormons from Missouri.

After the Mormons were evicted, the site was renamed Cravensville and was the site of a skirmish on August 4, 1862, in the American Civil War in which six Confederate soliders were killed with 10 Confederates wounded and five Union soldiers wounded when Union troops attempted to stop Confederate reinforcements in the First Battle of Independence.[1]

Most of the site is now owned by the LDS Church and it remains predominantly farmland.

"Pagan" comes from the roman word "pagus" (a country distic, in this case refering to rustic relgions). I've been married to one for a couple decades, and a member of several temples, circles, and covens. Know what? Lotta religious dogma of varying degrees and intensities. Mostly a lotta poo, like most western adaptoid religion. Indigenous western religions are just fine.

Ever notice how folks of lifelong infancy oriented european originated cultures can turn any old medicine into a POISON that has to be WIPED OUT? You name it, they can abuse it to the point of toxification, then declare it "the enemy". Tobacco, sugar, ritual, myth, sunlight, you name it, they'll find a way to choke on it, then call it enemy.

General urges caution in Baghdad pullout

By PAULINE JELINEK, Associated Press Writer Mon Dec 17, 12:29 PM ET

WASHINGTON - Though violence in Iraq has declined, withdrawing U.S. troops too quickly would spell failure in some parts of the capital, a top general said Monday.

Maj. Gen. Joseph Fil, commander in Baghdad, said progress made toward securing the city in recent months is "fledgling, fragile and not guaranteed."

He said that although violence is down, it has dropped because the troop buildup ordered by President Bush in January has made it possible to have a "force presence that is almost throughout the city" — that is, coalition and Iraqi forces, supplemented by so-called "Concerned Local Citizens."

"There is absolutely a risk of going too quickly," he told a Pentagon press conference by video hookup from Baghdad. "It's clear that pulling out too quickly, before the Iraqis are truly able to take over these areas independently, would be very risky and there are some areas in the city where, at this point, it would fail."

Attacks in Iraq are at their lowest levels since the first year of the American invasion in 2003, finally opening a window for reconciliation among rival sects, Lt. Gen. Ray Odierno, the No. 2 commander in Iraq, said Sunday.

Pentagon officials said Monday that there are now about 160,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, about 30,000 more than in January. Commanders are planning to draw down the number to about 135,000 by July. Although Bush has not committed yet to going lower, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has expressed hope it could drop to 100,000 by next December.

Fil said he's comfortable with the current plan, which is "simply thinning the ranks ... in areas that are going well."

"There is no question in my mind that an immediate pullout too quickly would be a serious threat to stability in Baghdad," he said.

He said that although al-Qaida fighters "are not controlling any part of Baghdad," they are still "lurking in the shadows." Criminal networks also remain "very potent threats." And coalition forces are still working in the east of the city against "special groups" — Shiite militants backed by Iran.

Same here. I am disappointed. But business means these sort s of things happen frequently. Hell, Hartmann might go next. I find TYT refreshing in many ways. At least you knew where Cenk stood on things. He was a capitalist! So. So what! I'll bet every AAR host is--except Laura and Peter Werbe.

He's a free market, low/no-regulation capitalist, and that is less-than-optimal. Thom Hartmann's a capitalist, but he's wise enough to know that free market, unregulated capitalism is effectively a virus.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) - President Bush on Monday tried to reassure an edgy public that the economy is "pretty good, the underpinning is good," Bush said.

The president is actively trying to solve the problems - and ready as ever to blame Congress for moving too slowly to help him.

He's a free market, low/no-regulation capitalist,

Find something where Cenk stated he is a no-reg capitalist. He could be mindless in his pro=capitalist rhetoric--as Hartmann can be on this and other issues--but I don't think he was such a "free marketeer"
that he opposed regulations.

... "fair market" proponents, that he's a "free market" guy -- which, by its definition, is low/no regulation on trade and business.

Context. Provide some context. If Cenk were an absolute free marketeer, he would have joined the Libertarians Party--or stayed a republican. What does Cenk say about Ron Paul? There's you a free market crackpot.

Cenk is pro materialism and greed. I was disgusted by his love of the materialistic aspect of xmas. He is entertaining but lacks understanding and compassion, in my opinion.

I agree. He also had some of the Howard Sternesque sexist piggishness. But overall...he was entertaining--and no more my political enemy than other liberals. Why am I sticking up for Cenk?

i agree, i don't consider him a political enemy in the bush era, but under normal circumstances i don't think there would be much that i agree with cenk. it was better with Ben. cenk seemed more open minded to liberal ideas and again they were funny.

I'm a switch technician working for at@t west and I DO NOT SUPPORT THE DOMESTIC SPYING PROGRAM OR RETROACTIVE IMMUNITY FOR THE TELECOMS!!!!!!!!!

I tend to give kudos to Cenk for trying to carry on without his ex partners but I was listening recently to a conversation he was having with Wes Clark Jr. Cenk was wondering aloud why people who are going to commit suicide don't go out with a bang and get a bunch of strippers first. Wes Jr. was sort of incredulous that Cenk couldn't wrap his own head around the idea that people who are suicidal aren't really interested in that kind of fun. I don't know. I think Cenk was trying to be funny. And on the other hand it was kind of weird.

MARON! MARON! MARON!

That's all I have to say about that.

Thank you very much for this information.
