sam great show
as always i love me some janeane.
just some
food for thought:
lifted from Daily Kos one day:
Virginia’s Baptists, and not James Madison, spearheaded the drive to supplement the Constitution with a Bill of Rights.
The Baptist passion for freedom of conscience led directly to the First Amendment;
In the early Republic, most Baptist comprised the religious left as champions for
church-state separation, and the Unitarians were on the religious right, demanding
a seat for God in government.

'The other shoe's going to drop any day'
Vanity Fair interviews Larry Flynt: 'The other shoe's going to drop any day'
Pam's House Blend
The publisher of Hustler has been on the prowl to catch Republican sexual hypocrite for some time now. Most recently he trotted out former call girl Wendy Ellis who claimed she had a "business relationship" with moralist anti-gay Senator David Vitter. He also claims to have the gay goods on other closeted hypocrites.
......
And, you might ask, who is next on Flynt's list to expose? He does name three to Handy, but not for publication. What we do know:
* a Republican presidential candidate (woohoo!)
* a well-known Republican senator
* another "prominent conservative official" (this is described in the article as involving "hooker parties and no-tell-motel liaisons"
He says he's closest to confirming and revealing the closeted gay senator (and it's not Larry Craig, who Handy says refers to himself as a "practicing heterosexual"), and that:
"The other shoe's going to drop any day," Flynt says, speaking of the other senator. "It'll surprise a lot of people that he's gay. And I'll bet you he resigns the same day and rides off into the sunset. He won't be as stupid as Craig," who after an initial vow to leave office changed his mind and instead fought to reverse his guilty plea to disorderly conduct......
Leaders discuss oil pact in Cuba
Heads of state from Central America and the Caribbean have met in Cuba for a summit on a Venezuelan initiative to supply cheap oil to regional allies.
The initiative permits signatory countries to defer payment on 40% of the oil they buy from Venezuela for up to 25 years, paying interest of only 1%.
Cuba already receives all its oil for free in exchange for social services including the work of thousands of Cuban doctors.
And Caribbean islands such as Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic can pay their bills in part with products such as bananas and sugar.

The Shock Doctrine in Action in New Orleans
* First came the shock of the original disaster: the flood and the traumatic evacuation.
* Next came the “economic shock therapy”: using the window of opportunity opened up by the first shock to push through a rapid-fire attack on the city’s public services and spaces, most notably it’s homes, schools and hospitals.
* Now we see that as residents of New Orleans try to resist these attacks, they are being met with a third shock: the shock of the police baton and the Taser gun, used on the bodies of protestors outside New Orleans City Hall yesterday.

A Thousand Year Reich in the Making
A Movement Built To Last
Submitted by Digby on December 21, 2007 - 1:13pm.
The release his past week of CAF's report on the Obstructionist Republicans seems to have gotten quite a bit of attention, even as the media continues to behave as if there's nothing unusual about it or, as Glenn Greenwald documents here, believe that Democrats are somehow equally responsible for the fact that Republicans are breaking records for filibusters. The question I find myself asking about this, however, is, why now?
What's different than any other time in history when there was a similar Senate minority with a member of its own party in the white house?
The first thing that stands out to me is the fact that the Republicans in the congress are willing to take the heat for obstructing popular legislation, even when they have an unpopular lame duck president of their own party who could veto it and let them off the hook. Normally politicians, survivalists that they are, would be trying to distance themselves from a 30% president by this time and he would be forced out there on his own. But here you have them racing over the cliff right along side him. That they have maintained such solidarity in the face of dramatic failure is quite impressive.
My suspicion is that they are banking on the media failing to properly inform the public about what is going on (and which I discuss in more depth here.) From the looks of things, that's been a pretty smart strategy. The public certainly holds the congressional Republicans in contempt, as you might expect after seven years of rubber stamping this failed presidency, but they are equally contemptuous of the Democrats for failing to turn things around when they took the reins. The Republicans apparently surmised that they could make the public see it as a wash.
The GOP presidential candidates have pretty much followed the same path. While it's certainly true that they are running for the support of their party's base at the moment, with a president at 30% you would think that they would at least be leaving themselves some daylight for the general election. But so far they are all running proudly as successors to a man whose fall from grace has been one of the most dramatic drops in presidential history.
If one assumes that we are dealing with a party and a political movement that operates as the constitution expected politicians to operate, this would all be very odd. But they aren't. The modern Republican party has somehow managed to create movement loyalty that supersedes not only the national interest but their own political self-interest.

People who know that politicization of military and religion is fascist talk. Good Americans who don't fall for racism. I am secure in what it means to be American. This is just another test we will excel at in the end. But it won't be easy.
The recession is counter productive to hope. George put that there to slow us down.
Regarding Huckabee's Floating Cross
Huckabee can do anything he wants to do with his ads.
That said, I am as strongly opposed to religion being injected into political and governmental processes as anyone can be. I freely admit that I am radical on this issue. It is for the same reason that I am radical about the sanctity of habeas corpus and due process and search-and-seizure: The negative influences of these issues are parasitic and omnipresent in their attempts to gain a foothold. It is much safer to say, "Not now or ever" than to say, "Just this once won't hurt."
So, back to Huckabee and his "floating cross".
First, can any video editor (I'm asking for comments from professionals, here) honestly tell me that the floating cross went unnoticed in the first viewing following the shoot?
Second, (again, for the video-editing pro's) can anyone tell me that, if the glowing cross were, instead, a glowing pentagram or a glowing Star of David, that it would have gone unnoticed following the shoot?
What if it were a glowing ankh? Or a dayglo Grateful Dead poster (Huckabee is, famously, a musician not afraid of electric Rock music).
My conclusion? It was a cheap shot. Even if it was not staged before the fact, it was recognized for what it was before it went public.
Which brings me back to my radical concerns. Not only is Huckabee injecting his religion into his campaign even as Romney tries to downplay his, he is also exploiting it crassly.
On the one hand, the argument could be made that religious exploitation is justified if the U.S. citizenry elects a candidate who proves to be a wonderful President.
On the other hand, the argument could be made that a candidate's religious exploitation didn't work out so good the last time around.
I don't want to know about a candidate's religious beliefs. I also don't want to know about a candidate's preferred copulation techniques. Similarly, I don't want to know how often a candidate eats meat or shellfish, if at all. The various preferences are culturally induced and, for the most part, outside of the candidate's control. I can't explain my own preferences except to say that they are the sum total of a lot of influences, mostly outside of my control.
Some would argue that the candidate's revelation of these details gives the voter an insight into "character". I would argue that they give me insight into a whore-ish lack thereof.
Here is what I want to know about a candidate:
1.) Does your party affiliation trump your citizenship?
2.) Does your ideology recognize that there will always be a certain percentage of the people in a society who need help, and are you willing to risk enabling slackers in the effort to aid the downtrodden and underprivileged?
3.) Does your ideology assume that you can cause death and misery to promote life and happiness?
4.) Do you view the Presidency as a seat of powerful mediation between disparate opinions or as a seat of demanding decrees?
Using religion to gain the nomination is insulting (to me) and far afield of the information that we need to know. It should be just as insulting to the religious among the electorate.
I am even suspect
of the Clinton years. Think about it. Everyone seemed to be doing well financially. But the control of congress was in the hands of the Newt group.
Was it a way of anesthetizing people for the grand plan? People doing well won't pay as much attention to politics.
Clinton with Nafta pushed through congress very fast without questions. People were sold a bill of goods that global trade, free trade, would make us richer.
The repubs claimed that it was the congress and not Clinton that drove that economy. Did they? Did they conspire to end it for thoer grand plan? We had a tech bubble going and it started to crash in 99. The impeachment of Clinton was to stop him from doing alot of things he could have done to change what congress was passing. He was too busy defending himself.
Hillary was right when she said there was a right wing agenda.

7 British soldiers killed by same American-made gun
A single trained [Blackwater?] marksman is suspected of killing seven British soldiers in separate attacks in Iraq, an inquest heard on Thursday. The sniper's victims are thought to include Cpl Rodney Wilson, who was killed when he was shot in the back while trying to rescue an injured colleague in Basra. Analysis of the bullet which struck him showed it was fired from the same American-made weapon which has been involved in the deaths of six other servicemen in the city. Cpl Wilson's father, Richard, said: 'It's almost certainly the same person firing it, some sort of hired shooter probably.' Cpl Wilson was hit by a 5.56 calibre bullet. The ammunition is compatible with weapons such as the M16 and M4 Carbine, commonly used by US forces, and the SA80, the standard British Army issue assault rifle.

What are they, NOW, doin' to help the women of the world?
I agree w/Echidne's snakilicious writin' onna the topic.
She sez it like it is!
Background:
Anne Applebaum gives American feminists a spanking for not doing enough to liberate the women of Saudi Arabia. She uses the example of the "Qatif girl", the woman who was gang-raped and then given 200 lashes and six months in prison for having been together with a man not her relative when the crime took place. The Qatif girl has now been pardoned, so the time is ripe for Applebaum to tell why American feminists failed in her case and more generally, in the case of helping all those unfortunate women not living in the United States.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Echidne of the Snakes sez:
Where to begin? Perhaps that bit about "sexual terror" not being as dangerous as "real" terrorism.
What do you think kills more women in the United States? Or in the world?
Note first that the real and grave injustices that women still face: oppression, rape and even being killed for their gender in some countries, are somehow all problems that only the feminists should try to solve.
The rest of the society can just sit back and criticize the feminist attempts, almost like those ice-skating judges at the Olympics. Though of course they would applaud should the feminists actually solve all those frighteningly large problems, without much external funding and while being criticized of nitpicking and various forms of lunacy.
But are these problems not the responsibility of the rest of the humankind to solve?
It appears not. Only the feminists are expected to fix the world for billions of women.
WHY THE FUCK IS THE PLIGHT OF WOMEN ONLY THE BUSINESS OF FEMINISTS?
Women are the majority of this world's people.
Is it perfectly ok to oppress them, to traffic in them and to treat them like cowdung or bicycles, unless enough American feminists say otherwise and show themselves willing to sacrifice their lives for that cause?
Everyone else can just sit back with a cold beer and some nice popcorn to watch, and then to grade the feminist performances?
All this reminds me of that earlier post I wrote in some anger, too, about feminists being needed for a cleanup in Aisle 8 of the great supermarket of life.
We are the night-time cleaning crew, expected to turn up with pails of water and brooms, but to be otherwise invisible.
Oh, and we are also whom to blame when everything doesn't sparkle and shine.
It's probably because we were fighting over male-only golf clubs that women die in Saudi Arabia.
Now Gare if you woulda like to hear more about what I'ma doin' to help women ~ I mighta tell ya. I'ma bettin' that you won't.
h/t to Echidne of the Snakes for expressin' my thoughts on the topic.

--------
I try to examine it all. Which brings me to a comment that I have attempted to convey many times with many people but without much success.
There are two major subjects as concerns candidacies and political maneuvering in general.
1.) Tactical maneuvering for political gain, without regard to governance itself.
2.) Governance, as a philosophical and practical effort.
Allow me to use Huckabee as an example. The glowing cross advertisement is clearly a tactical maneuver that has no relationship with his ability to govern. It is all about gathering votes.
However, when Huckabee was Governor of Arkansas, he supported the idea of providing the children of Arkansas-resident undocumented aliens (specifically the children who had been schooled throughout their lifetimes in U.S. public schools) with in-state tuition advantages when applying to Arkansas universities. If I were his political tactician, I would have said, "Are you out of your fucking mind!?" That's pretty much what the people in Arkansas said, too.
Huckabee's argument was (and it still is valid), since these kids are Americans by birth and since they are a piece of America's future, it makes no economic sense to force them to be something less than an asset to the nation.
His detractors countered that giving more advantages to people (and their eventual offspring) who cross the border without proper papers only encourages more people to do the same.
In my opinion, Huckabee was being pragmatic with the circumstances as they existed. There is no reason why the legislation could not have been written so that students in the future did not have the same in-state tuition advantage. He was trying to deal with an existing situation on behalf of the nation as a whole.
But from the politically tactical side of the coin, it was suicide.
Which brings me back to the two-sided coin of acting on behalf of personal (or party) political advantage, or acting on behalf of the nation. Sometimes there is a grey area that blends the two (like, for instance, lying to get elected and then becoming a wonderful official).
The point is this: There are two worlds that rarely intersect. There is the pragmatic world of political flimflam and there is the philosophical world of actual governance. If I determine that Huckabee is a whore-ish sack of shit for using the glowing cross in his tactically-designed campaign advertisement, my determination ignores the possibilities of his governance should he be elected.
The difficulty in discussing candidacies is the fact that the discussion shifts, willy-nilly, between the Methodology of politics and the actual governance that might occur.
And, for the record, I don't want to see Huckabee as POTUS. I could just as easily have used the whore-ish campaign tactics of any other candidate as an example, as well as something that s/he had done while governing that was positive and helpful to us all. It is very frustrating that our system teaches political hopefuls to say that which is the least offensive to the most people in the electorate. Anyone who doesn't, like Kucinich and Paul, doesn't stand a chance.

Clinton Nafta Debates
I seem to remember there was a lot of debate about Nafta. Including one very good one on Larry King's show between Ross Perot and Al Gore. Gore won the debate. Perot seemed mystified.
Anyway, the debate had been raging for years and years. All the Republican presidents had tried to get it passed, since Nixon. Carter, I don't know if he tried to get it passed or not. But it seems to me it was bound to happen sooner or later - it just so happened to pass on Clinton's watch. They did a good job selling it to the public and one of their strongest selling points was (both Clinton and Gore said this) that if it's found to not be working, we can always stop it.
I didn't believe at the time that anyone would ever stop it, no matter if it was working properly or not - but that argument seemed to satisfy most people.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense. I'm drowzy. Full of GABA.

You identify one of the failings of U.S. governance. Instituting legislation is difficult but un-instituting legislation is damned near impossible.
In a not-perfect-but-better-than-we-got world, there would be benchmarks implanted into legislation which would, if not met after implementation, sunset the legislation on a date certain.
It would force a reexamination prior to re-legislating a renewal of the idea, or re-legislating a modified version of the idea, or allowing the idea to die.

Clinton Impeachment - 9 Years Ago This Week
In December of 1998, the House of Representatives, through a bill authored by serial adulterer Henry Hyde, during a lame-duck session of Congress where Speaker and serial adulterer Newt Gingrich (who started up with a mistress while his wife was in the hospital with cancer) had to hand over his gavel to Ray LaHood, during a floor debate marred by the resignation of potential House Speaker candidate and serial adulterer Bob Livingston, voted to impeach the President of the United Statesfor only the second time in American history. The count was 228-206 on the perjury charge, and 221-212 on obstruction of justice (two other counts failed). Being the anniversary week, C-SPAN decided to air large portions of the House debate.
I couldn't stop watching.

You bloated ass. I know what a tick is. Huckabee is a tick to his followers and some sheep. Drinks their scrotum blood. You are correct there my friend.
I'll thank you to warn the barn animals and not myself :)
I'm simply trying to insist that finding one better than another when one judging ticks or turd nuggets is not the endeavor of evolved folk. Stop contemplating that bugger. Its unseemly.
Who cares which simpleton they send up? Our challenge is within ranks.
Takes A Licking And Keeps On Ticking

You bloated ass...

You force me to admit to an observation by myself and a friend many years ago.
It was during the era of ten-speed bicycles. I was on summer break from college and he was on break from getting high, briefly. Not that I wasn't.
We travelled miles of paved country roads without concern for where we were going or when we would return. It was really hot. The pavement was oozing oil. We didn't have helmets or Spandex or water bottles or any of the newfangled stuff. We decided to rest. It was a serene scene befitting a Zig-Zag ad (for tobacco use only).
We sat our asses down on the roadway. Traffic was non-existent. We were sweaty and happy and full of our young selves. Then my friend said, "Look!" as he pointed to the tarmac between us and the ditch.
Three ticks were marching with determination in our direction, across hot tar and in blazing sun.
So, despite my wisecrack about Dallas suburbanites, I have no doubt that ticks would thumb the highway from Ft. Worth if they sensed your carbon dioxide-y breath wafting west out of Richardson.
Number One!
I heard this today. I have no idea if it is accurate.
George Bush has been lower in approval ratings for longer than any president on record.
