  • Off with her head!

    "Sentence first — verdict afterwards," said the Queen of Hearts.

    Case in point is Feinstein's steering of DoD contracts to her husband. A Republican is in jail for the same thing while she merely resigns a committee post. Can you honestly consider that fair?

    Shooter's not much of a conservative, but he's quite a card.

    And did Feinstein resign a committee post? Not according to the story at : http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200704/POL20070404a.html

    President Bush Makes Remarks on the Emergency Supplemental
    The Rose Garden
    10:09 A.M. EDT

    THE PRESIDENT: . . . I think setting an artificial timetable for withdrawal is a significant mistake. It is a -- it sends mixed signals and bad signals to the region, and to the Iraqi citizens . . .

    Gates finds blessing in push for timetable
    AMMAN, Jordan -- The push by Democrats to set a timetable for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq has been helpful in showing the Iraqis that American patience is limited, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said yesterday. At the same time, Mr. Gates renewed his opposition to congressional approval of a timetable. Both the House and Senate have passed bills calling for an end to the war, and President Bush has said he would veto either version. "I've been pretty clear that I think the enactment of specific deadlines would be a bad mistake," Mr. Gates said.

    "But I think the debate itself, and I think the strong feelings expressed in the Congress about the timetable ... probably has had a positive impact -- at least I hope it has in terms of communicating to the Iraqis that this is not an open-ended commitment," he said.

    - - Secretary Gates, as reported in the Washington Times

    Despite his disclaimer -- that timetables and deadlines are good, but only if NOT enacted -- Secretary Gates is clearly stating that President Bush's policy of open-ended commitment is wrong and/or unsustainable.

  • @ 6:30 I was going to say SomeNyGuy was a kookylumbago.

    But, after scrolling down the crystal river, I'm speechless, thirsty, and famished also.

    My vim and vigor has a nsa spy inside my tummy?

    So, when my growling rutabaga sits beside and leaches the chewing gum flavor from the shelac on the bed post all night, I wake up and agree that it's about time for a rut'abagel. It's a 'sin' to not be honest and speak of the parsnips and parsley's left on the plate...is all evil. Look up what ingredients Nature puts inside green parsley. You may bee-sorry?

    Good grub can make you snippy-doodaodooda'each dood-'da day. It's the essence or something that's not too bad or evil. So, it's best be cautious what you/me gulp down in the shack for a midnight snack too.

    You may AL unyon, be Jungians? Or, plain Parmesan egged plant lavage bunches of green liberals? You'd love to put loco-weed seeds on the bagel's roebuck's top-side toasty bun? Be careful.

    On the slow boat to Jamestown's harbor, when the Indians begged to tell Anglo's what was good to eat, the passengers who wanted to steal Trees to make wood boats and Imperial cannon balls...The weary passengers blew Loco Greens into the air, became sea-ill, and pawed at imaginary lovers they thought were sitting besides them, THEN. True.

    It's a 21-cent-dot-com day now, and we are innocent turniping one and 'thee' into a boo-kook-dinky-doll? A good kind 'goof.' Bimbo dinker bingo, I hope. Yes.

    When those neocon rotten tomatoes begin to wing via the air 'round Agost, just tell 'um stinky red balls to swerve toward the kitchen to see what's cookin' there. And hey, who's lookin' now-wow. Be 'nice.' And hey, how 'bout commune-over to your/my house, or even invite some open-mind liberals over to OUR White House to lobby for a kitchen cabinet? We can have a meeting where we serve to drink a fermented wine, or 5-th of rye with you?

    It's a Sikander of the Persian banquet-festival-season, I believe, or it's a banquet-bazaar, and real-real soon, admit it. Same-same as in days of Viking lore...So, put the smutty pot on a slow-simmer, pinch each other, and dose a sprinkle or two of some Jamison-loco-seed...To put on the baker's doz-en's tops of a big-box of NYC bagels?

    Hey guy's and girl's? Sip a cough-of-cuppa, or swig some tea down with with two. Have some good pudding-pun with The Whole Wide World of Winny and Willy, and all the gang of good Pooh's.

    This Salon Place reminds me of the House at Pooh Corner.

    It breaths new life in Pooh, and whatever comes forth upon the scroll is dedicated to yogi Berra's. If we can tolerate each-other's oddities, we could meet you some Place real? I'd be there in a hop, and we could sip, even romp, maybe my sweet, and you'd be a gift? I come humming and homing back here too....You are breath-sweet and full of enthusiasm of what Life is all about, and if our ears be too filled with beeswax, it's still a hungry yummy-tummy place. sing.

    If I'm never here, it's because those little gov-mint paddies, those after-dinner mints, are melting inside my steaming strange, eccentric, computer. okay. Forgive. But say sorry, datafirst. okay?

    And for 'others,' Never say you sorry!

  • Andrea Mitchell Is Another Example Of What Glenn's Talking About

    During the Libby trial she said, "They're going to try to really tamp this down and appeal to the polling which indicates that most people think, in fact, that he should be pardoned. Scooter Libby should be pardoned."

    At the time she said that 18% thought Libby should be pardoned.
