Jkalos and kovie etc all legal minds, fools. sage/idiots, and wise fools, and jack-arses. A Great Instruction Class. Physical Education. P/T!
Jkalos @ 9:17. It has been so much here to ponder. The sentence in your kind post, and mention of mutual respect to another officer, R.M.P. And Kkalos, you too. jackarse a thread for Whispers?
Now. RMP, you jack-arse, now you can do jump-in-jacks!.
Give us readers push-ups, belly-button not flapping low, arse-butt-holes pointing to the blue sky, swing on the monkey bars with oil-greased hands. Get out your tricycles and peddle 6- miles to the Mess Hall at Capital Hill.
Eat soggy white wonder bread they serve.
It's called creamed red-chipped beef- yuck. Stop LIES.
Eat a whole 55- gallon bowl of it with doughnut holes.
Some day Yer All Gonna Get a TDY, ETS, DEROS, and a RIP!

I know. yak yak yak. So much is here and to read slowly. eh, hrh. Susan Mc @ 7:55
hrh? You think William stole Glenn's watch. I even enjoy the grey tone, but talk of the no blues too- Susan Mc- I love Pete Seeger.
He sings about Ladies auxiliary, marble pillar banks, coal miners wives, farmers, Casey Jones rich on Capital Hill- the union buster scabs.
He sings to children and tells them adults mess up- Pete Seeger tells children, "it's okay to give a little shit" and
to say shit in this house,okay.
He's good for a picker up mood.
The lyrics of his are immortal.

his client is *SUPPOSED* to be the american people
"Mukasey is more likely than not simply a lawyer protecting his client. "
his client is *SUPPOSED* to be the american people, NOT the president...a distinction gonzo could never grasp.

and if he's worried about the U.S. people "paying damages".....
... we've already started. And the damage is profound, and we'll be paying it for years if not decades. And it's not measured in dollars.
If there was a rolling-eyes emoticon, I'd be applying it here - in spades - to captainlarab's post.
Me, I'd like to apply punitive damages to the people who caused this egregious state of affairs.

sorry. Duke of URL. I agree.
A dog, dem or repug, will puke.
A dog returns to eat its vomit.

gloomy outside weather.
I want truth whether Capital Hill does or not.
Today I hear just lies. Outside Grey Squirrels horde acorn nuts. Let's have some corn soup. okay.
It's real corny, but the neocons are creepy.
If we don't get the truth back in vogue, there will be many moons of great unnecessary suffering.
There will be many cold winters with chilly nights. The con-cry babies are bad soup.

Catching up
I was barely able to keep up with reading posts over the weekend and so couldn't contribute.
I want to echo the thanks to all those who have served our country as members of the military. I know it's trite, but I still insist on pushing back: my disgust with the Administration's warperv policies is completely separate from my gratitude to those who have volunteered (and earlier were drafted) to serve our country.
For those of you (RMP and Jklos most recently in the thread) who dared to speak up to wrong-doing: good on you. I would like to think that what we are doing and discussing here is in a small part the citizen equivalent of just that. Many choose to "keep their heads down" and not buck the trend of what is being foisted on us whether we are in the military or common citizens, but a few of us are standing up, pointing out the wrong-doing and developing courses of action to bring about correction.
As kovie and hrh point out, responses and attitudes for those of us "in the trenches" alternate between blithering outrage and merely turning the lights out and going to sleep (as I did as well after the Mukasey vote). When we are between those extremes, however, is when we develop the clear-eyed resolve kovie is urging us toward. So yes, "the end is near" sandwich boards are not appropriate, but pointing out that the current assault on the Constitution is absolutely unprecedented in its scope, magnitude and brazenness is warranted.
As for strategies, I agree that efforts to provide and publicize detailed documentation on the corruption inherent in Feinstein's acts is a promising course. I am also considering undertaking a financial analysis to come up with documentation on the size of the "profit" in the defense and healthcare industries. While the current push on healthcare is toward universal "insurance", I think that the public needs to be made more aware of the source of profit to health insurance companies (the denial of service) and the disgusting amount of profit made by these insurance companies.
Similarly, I don't think I've seen a thorough analysis of how much of our outrageous defense spending goes directly to profit in the MIC. I think the public would be well-served if we can find a way to document just how much profit is in this sector, how few companies and individuals receive it, and what a large portion of our tax dollar goes to fuel it.
Where I am headed is to suggest that the same arguments that show that a single, government payer system for health care in our country apply to the suggestion that much of what the military purchases would be provided much more efficiently by a larger military doing the weapons manufacturing itself. More importantly, if the military is doing the manufacturing, then the fraud and influence peddling inherent in the awarding of these manufacturing contracts is reduced dramatically when there is a single, government entity producing what the military needs.
