"Sen. Bob Corker (R-Asshole) was scheduled
to meet with Sonia Sotomayor. Yet when Sotomayor was delayed because of her recent injury, Corker decided
that he had more important things to do than to wait around for a potential lifetime appointee who is temporarily
disabled: Corker blew off his meeting with Sonia Sotomayor. Hobbling along with her leg in a cast, she
was 10 minutes late and he said he didn't feel like waiting." -- Huffpo,
Excerpt: On January 25, 2002, Tortureboy Gonzales advised
Bush in a memo to deny al-Qaeda and Taliban prisoners
protections under the Geneva Conventions because
doing so would "substantially reduces the threat of domestic
criminal prosecution under the War Crimes Act"
and "provide a solid defense to any future prosecution."
Two weeks later, Bush signed an action memorandum
addressed to Cheney, which denied baseline protections to
al-Qaeda and Taliban prisoners under the Third
Geneva Convention. That memo opened the door to "considering
aggressive techniques," which were then developed
with the complicity of Rumsfeld, Rice, and other Bush bastards.
They knew all along that they were committing war crimes
so they built in a defense mechanism up-front in case they got caught.
And once again, why did Lyndie England go to jail?
Rumsfeld promised it was "just a few bad apples"
but
now they say
"torture is an important tool in getting information
that keeps us safe."
And England - far as I know - went to jail for humiliating prisoners.
I'd much rather be humiliated that have a scalpal cut my penis 23 times.
The point is they were lying the whole time and even after getting caught,
Pelosi became the defense attorney for Bush-Cheney and that makes me
sick.
Excerpt: Polls now tell us that Americans claim to have
voted for Obama by far larger margins than those indicated on Election
Day.
Officially, Obama won the popular vote by 53%,
with McCrazy taking 46%--a lead of seven points. But according to polls
at the Whore Street Journal, Obama seems to have
prevailed by eleven points: 50%-39%. And the New York Whores Times
reports that people claim to have voted for Obama
by some 28 points, 60%-32%.
Thus Obama's win was not a mere "decisive victory,"
as all the press (and he) agreed.
It was a landslide, like in 1932, with the Republicans
not just refuted but completely routed.
Excerpt: In 50 Iranian cities the number of votes cast
in the election exceeded the number of eligible voters,
the state's election watchdog admitted today.
The surprising admission by the Guardian Council was,
however, designed to undermine the claims of
Mir Hossein Mousavi that the vote was rigged.

Excerpt: A controversial law in Massachusetts could go
national if Barney Frank gets his way.
Frank has filed a bill that would eliminate federal
penalties for personal possession of less than 100 grams of marijuana.
It would also make the penalty for using marijuana
in public just $100.
"I think John Stuart Mill had it right in the
1850s," said Congressman Frank, 'when he argued that individuals should
have the right to do what they want in private,
so long as they don't hurt anyone else. It's a matter of personal liberty.
Moreover, our courts are already stressed and
our prisons are over-crowded. We don't need to spend our scarce
resources prosecuting people who are doing no
harm to others.'
I like this, of course, but why 100 grams?
Critics are going to lie and pretend that 100 grams won't fit in an
SUV.
They tried this in Nevada, and the liars said, "That's
enough to get an entire stadium high." When you buy liquor, you don't buy 20 cases of beer and you don't buy
a case of Jack Daniels.
If pot is legal, why not sell it in 14 and 28 gram bags?
Besides, if it gets legal the quality will be excellent.
You won't need several grams to get where you want to go.
The military budget doesn't need to be cut, it
just needs to be spend differently.
For the cost of let's say one aircraft carrier,
we could have a massive airdrop, not of bombs,
but of free iPhones and mini laptops and wifi
for every citizen of Iran, and what the hell, North Korea.

Tell that dude to try opening it in another browser.
Firefox often cuts off things that will play
fine in Internet Explorer - go figure!

Hello Bart,
The cut off problem could be from a couple similar
things happening.
When someone downloads or streams the file, most
browsers will put the file into the cache first (because it's big).
However, sometimes there is a problem and the
whole file doesn't get transferred (internet connection problem,
some brief glitch on the server end, etc. but
beyond your control)
When the person tries to listen again, the browser
checks if the file already exists in the cache, and just uses that
same (broken) one again instead of getting it
again from the server. (I know, I know, it seems stupid but it actually
makes sense, because otherwise your internet
speed would be much slower)
To fix this:
Clear your cache and try again (most browsers
have made this easy to do)
or
Close the browser and try downloading the file
again, to a slightly different location on your PC.

"Where to begin? 'Supreme Leader'? Note
the abject solicitousness with which the American president confers this honorific on a clerical dictator
who, even as his minions attack demonstrators, offers to examine some returns in some electoral districts --
a farcical fix that will do nothing to alter the fraudulence of the election."
-- Charles Shithammer, Link
First of all, that's what they call him.
Obama uses that phrase for clarity - not praise.
And what would it help if he called him nasty names?
Why do Republicans always want war?
Is it their goal to fill up Arlington Cemetery?

Excerpt: Chris Brown has pleaded guilty to one count of
felony assault on Rihanna.
Brown entered his plea before a preliminary hearing
was scheduled to start in Los Angeles on Monday.
Rihanna had been on standby to testify.
After Brown left the courtroom, Rihanna entered
and was addressed by LA Judge Patricia Schnegg,
who explained to the Barbados-born singer that
she had issued a stay-away order.
Rihanna had not been seeking a stay-away order,
but the judge imposed one. The order requires that
the two stay at least 50 yards from each, except
at industry events when the distance is reduced to 10 yards.
The judge also told Rihanna it's not a one-way
order and she will be in violation
if she gets closer to Brown than the order allows.
For the beating he gave her, he got off easy.
But, having a "I beat women" felony on your record is no small thing.
Excerpt: As the clock rounded past 8 p.m. Sunday, NBC’s
Dan Hicks said that NBC would be staying with its coverage
as long as Tiger Woods was out on the course.
Hicks didn’t mention they’d be staying with coverage as long as
any player was out on the course, including
the 11 players who were ahead of Tiger at that time. No, per Hicks, when Tiger Woods calls it quits
for the night, NBC signs off.
When Tiger shot 74 in his stop-start-stop first
round, the talk his entire second round was whether or not he’d
make the cut, and whether or not the weather
was to blame. At the time he was as many as 11 strokes behind,
there was more focus on Tiger making or missing
the cut than on who was leading the golf tournament.
How long before that’s all we know of golf?
How long before the game of golf is one giant
highlight from Tiger’s video games?
Since golf isn't even a sport, I don't care -
but the Tiger worship gets old real fast for me.
People would rather watch Tiger lace his shoes
than watch someone else sink a 30-foot putt.
Maybe the simple truth is golf is so boring nobody will watch
it unless Mr. Perfect is there.
There's also a mention in that story about Tiger sponsoring his own
tournament AND
there's talk of Tiger competing with the PGA. Is he power-hungry
like an oil man?
People need to learn that there are consequences
to how they vote. We should place all people who voted Republican
from 2000-2008 at the head of the line when it
comes to getting laid off. The present economic situation is the
direct result
of bank deregulation made possible by laws passed
by the Republican-contrilled Congress in 2000, which was then signed
into law by Der Shimpanzee.

I like the idea.
We could also draft those Rethugs first when a Republican starts a
fake war.
I am so effing sick of the right wing hypocritical
double standard and the chicken-shit Dems who won't fight back!
Why does Vitter get to frequent whores and remain
in office but Elliot Sptizer does it and is forced to resign?
Why is it a "personal matter" when Ensign uses
tax payer money to pay his whore and his whore's husband,

Excerpt: The family of a 19-year-old Iranian killed during
clashes between religio-handjobs and protesters
says officials demanded a $3,000 "bullet fee"
before they could claim his body at the morgue.
The fee was assessed to pay for the bullet that
killed Kaveh Alipour, the newspaper says.
The Journal says morgue officials agreed to waive
the fee after the family argued that
all their possessions together weren't worth
$3,000.
This is the kind of thing that could get the protesters pissed off.
"The fact is that, as a man of the hard Left,
Obama is more comfortable with a totalitarian Islamic regime
than he would be with a free Iranian society. " -- Andy McCarthy,

Andy, first, go fuck yourself.
Second, keep saying that because the voters
like
him
and you're making him more popular
with your super-stupid lies.
Third, why was your voice so muffled?
Could it be because you're hard to understand
with your head up Limbaugh's ass?
We must counter the right wing shitstorm in a
teapot by paying homage to Letterman's best joke:
During the initial Castro health crisis a couple
of years ago, Dave commented:
"No one knows if Castro will pass power to
his brother, Raul, or his idiot son, Fidel W. Castro.
That line reduces me to tears whenever I remember
it.
"All we would do is undermine those people
in the street, who the second that they are attached to America, the great Satan since 1979, we will undermine
their cause. It’s so shortsighted I find it stunning. What would McCain and Lindsey Graham specifically have the president
say? It’s called 'showing a little bit of restraint.' " -- Joe Scarborough, proving he CAN
tell the truth. Link
So why does he tell so many lies on a regular
basis?,

For newer readers, I'm undefeated in court.
My record is somewhere around 300 wins with zero losses.
That's not as impressive as it sounds - I worked for a finance companies
for 15 years,
and I never filed against somebody unless I couldn't lose, but the
biggest advantage is
I'm no stranger to the court system. I don't mind going to court
- most people hate it.
And it's the same for those Fascist bastards. They'd have no chance
beating me in court because
first thing, in discovery, I'd subpoena tapes of their shows and show
what assholes they were.
They know their words make them guilty so they fold up-front.
Sidebar: Especially that Laura bitch - I'd love it if she sued me for bring
THE truth-seeker
who Johnny Appleseeded her spread-legged pictures to a wordwide audience.
In October of 1998, I was tipped to a website that had real pictures
of Laura's cooter,
and I downloaded those pics fast as hell because I knew they were comedy
dynamite.
Then I uploaded those pics to the wild west newsgroups. I then called
by buddy Sabutai
to check the nudie pics out and he wrote back 10 minutes later, "That
website is down."
So I assumed I was the only one who had the pics and I went viral with
them.
Maybe 90 days later, a judge ruled that the pictures were so widely
distributed that
it would be pointless to try to corral them or punish the possessors
of the pics.

Excerpt: S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford's staff said late Monday
that the governor is hiking on the Appalachian Trail,
ending four days during which staff and state
officials said they had not heard from him.
Neither Sanford's office nor the State Law Enforcement
Division, which provides security for governors,
had been able to reach Sanford since he left
the mansion Thursday in a black Suburban SUV assigned to
his security detail, said state Sen. Jake Knotts,
and three others who declined to be identified.
Joel Sawyer, the governor's spokesman would not
disclose where on the trail the governor was hiking,
nor would he reveal whether Sanford was hiking
alone.
First lady Jenny Sanford said Monday her husband
has been gone for several days over Father's Day
weekend and she did not know where. She
said she was not concerned.
Horseshit! What kind of marriage do they have when he can
disappear for four days and she's not concerned?
He was obviously somewhere that nobody can know
about - proibably with a girlfriend or boyfriend.
When you go walking in the woods you REALLY want
people to know where you are.
They say he turned his phones off - who does
that in the woods?
And why does a sitting governor have to disappear
for four days?
What if there was a disaster or an important
decision to be made?
I'd put money on it - he was either cheating
or breaking a law.
Maybe he was blowing his meth dealer?
Update: CNN reports his wife said "He had to get away
from the kids."
Really?
Your kids are such shit to live with you have to leave for four days
and turn your phone off?
What's the real reason, Governor?
If he was a Democrat, the press would investigate.

Excerpt: As director Davis Guggenheim remarked in his
comments prior to Friday night's LA Film Festival screening of
his documentary It Might Get Loud,
"I just wanted to make a film about the electric guitar." As rock gods
Jack White and Jimmy Page (Jimmy Fucking Page!)
confirmed after the screening during an audience Q & A,
there really was no plan for the film other than
to sit around and talk about music. The result of all this -- as Page
might say -- is a tight but loose film about
three men (The Edge being the third), their guitars and their music.
As a longtime Led Zeppelin devotee, I smiled
throughout the old master's recollection of those days long past.
I think I'll see this movie.
Imdb.com
says it premiers in August in America.
Remember the outrage at banks a couple of months
ago rasing their credit card interest rate?
Well they or at least the Chase bank has found
a way around that. Raise the minimum payment from 2%
of the outstanding balance to 5%. A 150% increase
as of August 1st. That mean that my payment will go
from $235 a month to $587.50 a month and since
I get paid twice a month that comes to almost my whole check.
After calling them they wanted to transfer me
to someone who could help me lower my payments by lowering my APR.
The thing is my APR is a promotional APR of 5.99%
because a couple of years ago I consoldated my debt
so next month when I can't make that huge payment
my interest will jump to their regular charge of 23.24% a month
which means I'll owe an even larger minimum payment.
Go figure....

It's amazing that crooked, gouging sons of bitches could go broke.
If you're a homeowner, you might re-finance that way, but I don't have
any good answers for you.
I have to admit I'm not a real old-timer--only
been reading you since the failed 2000 election.
I'm happy to have a few bucks to contribute to
the hammer. As a poker player from a state with a felony
law on the books for playing online, I thought
about buying you a piece of the tourney. Anyway, I've gotten
more than this bit of money's worth out of your
work over the years.
Here's the thing: I don't agree with you in a
whole bunch of places. But you're a clear thinker, and feisty as hell,
and pretty amusing. When you say something I
don't agree with, I'm willing to let you be wrong (I'd do a netsmeelie
here,
but I refuse to use 'em). Because having somebody
out there pitching shit to the bad guys is important.
Especially when you're right a lot of the time.
(I don't know what a netsmeelie is)
It occurred to me after I clicked "make payment"
on PayPal that I probably could have got something for it.
And I appreciate that you're giving me the BCR
sub and a bonus--I suspected you might, being a pretty square
shooter for a car salesman and all. But
I wouldn't have been a bit sad if you didn't.
It would be nice to live in a country where the
criminals didn't win quite so much.
I think we agree on that, and doing my part to
keep your voice out there saying so is well worth it.
Take care.

Doug, thanks for that.
One thing - I head that a lot "I disagree with you often" so
feel free to debate with me.
So many people start out with "If you weren't such a braindead retard

But if I'm wrong on guns, or religion,
or backstabbing Dems, let me hear about it. But don't tell me
