I've gotta hand it to you Greenwald. It's a good point. Harry Reid has taken over from Inhofe as the most contemptible person in that utterly contemptible chamber, above even luminaries like Chambliss & Lieberman. The naked corruption, pathetic narcissism and incompetence is just too much to bear. Every time he speaks I yearn to see bugs bunny to sneak up behind him with a frying pan.
Good question. I am hoping/dreaming that my taxes will be used better in 2009. Of course, better is not a very high bar, so I will add "much" before the word better.
Chunk a shoe if you love America. Let your soles reign down on our men in Washington. We're told we can't bring suit for national security reasons or other diversions that give us no standing. Well, I'm gonna stand shoe in hand. You can deny me, us. But, surely as gravity will make my shoe fall, you will feel my standing.Who's with me? -- -ScottC-
I with you.
So, that means he'll vote to confirm? It is Arlen Specter, after all...
Less money back to the states, and more money for the Federal Warfare/Welfare Machine. Sounds like a great Idea.
It's pretty clear that Washington has effectively declared war on us (the American people) at this point.
Not only is the naming of the NSA warrantless wiretapping that we know surveills us all very telling (Terrorist Surveillance Program - ergo, we are all considered terrorists now), but the recent revelation of Brandon Darby, one of the founders of Common Ground relief organization, as an FBI spy reveals a new timeline of government response to hurricane Katrina:
Don't show up to help, and when people bootstrap to help themselves, infiltrate, disrupt and provoke.
What was a guy your age doing hanging around the bra tables in Filene's basement?
He wasn't hanging "around" the bra table, ondo, he was under it with his handy cell-phone camera.
It's interesting how 3 different cases are/were being handled...Tamm, Libby, and Lynndie England.
Libby, a friend of Bush's, broke the law by obstructing an investigation of actions that came out of Bush's WH. England broke the law by carrying out policies that came from Bush's WH. Tamm may have broken the law by blowing the whistle on illegal actions coming from the Bush WH.
Libby the friend of Bush was convicted, his sentence was immediately commuted by Bush, and his legal fees and monetary penalties were magically 'taken care of'. England was convicted and served her sentence. Tamm is still under heavy investigation by Bush's DOJ. Bush is getting ready to comfortably retire.
I wonder if anyone has ever compiled a list somewhere on the internet of lives ended or ruined by direct result of Bush's 8 years in office. I wonder if he has ever felt remorse for anything he has done? And i mean remorse of the empathetic kind, not remorse that people didn't like what he did and wishes everyone would have liked him.

And so it goes...
Funding illegal wars and the MIC. Funding the SOA. Funding warrantless spying. Funding bailouts for Wall Street. Funding the massacre of Palestinians. Funding the infiltration and persecution of activist groups. Funding the persecution/prosecution of whistle-blowers.
Funding our own enslavement.
Less money back to the states, and more money for the Federal Warfare/Welfare Machine. Sounds like a great Idea.
I think it's less than certain that any potential changes to budget and earmark policy will have that effect. If Obama makes the budget truly more transparent, I would think/hope you will see less total money for both of those things. Less total money to the federal govt. altogether. Most states already have state taxes, and federal tax money going to states tends to be spent somewhat frivolously since it is perceived as 'free' money.
That list of ruined or ended lives would be in the 6-10 million range, but he's no criminal according to all the Serious experts.
i think the U.S. attorney general should indict glenn greenwald and charge him with sedition, treason and for advocating the violent overthrow of the Federal Government.
these charges could stick since being a dumb radical left-wing pundit and being part of the msm probably isn't a crime.
"In an interview with The Hill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he would not roll over for the new president the way Republicans did for Bush."
I think, if he were an honest type fellow, he should have said that he would not roll over for the new president as he did for Bush. I thought many times over the last eight years that Reid was, in his heart-of-hearts, a Bushie.
I have little regard for the outgoing Bush yet I evaluate the congressional democrats much lower. Hard to even conceive of the depth of disregard I feel for them.
I'd prefer the money be spent on bridges to nowhere than missiles to Israel.
Looking for a little sexy lacy sompin' sompin' to put his moobs in, dyk. ;-}
"In an interview with The Hill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he would not roll over for the new president the way Republicans did for Bush."
Looks like Reid is trying to curry favor by using the popular Strategy of the Cowardly Democrat, i.e. Eat Your Own.
He must havethought Filene carried the Nut Bra:

I would prefer the federal money not be spent on either...why ignore a lesser problem just because there is a bigger problem? Appropriate priority should be given to each but I wouldn't like to see either ignored.
Israel.-- Chris Sinnard
Shhh. We're under 200 comments so far. Don't mention Israel if you don't want it to balloon into 800 comments in quick time.
Gosh, I think the Bush Derangement Syndrome has even crossed over like some kinda daymn bird flu and starting to work it's way down the animal chain all the way to the doggies.
Someone better alert the fat, Sandanista and Chavez-loving creep, Christopher Dodge, if someone can pull him away from his preferred activity, harassing all the ladies on his staff and stuffing his fat face with buttery steaks and 30 year old scotch.
I wonder, seriously, if Glennda ever thinks of the female FBI Agent in the Midwest who was trying to alert her counterparts at other intelligence agencies that there were a lot of young Arab men learning to fly, well before 9/11, instead of going to college like their visas said they were. Thanks to the now disgraced Jamie Goerlick's protocals instituted at the Clinton Justice, the agent was not allowed to get a wire tap on their phones and to monitor their emails. She was not allowed to speak with people in other agencies like CIA.
Actually, I wonder if Gwenn ever thinks about 9/11 at all. Maybe he thinks it was only a dream.
Somebody should wake up Glennda and ask Glennda about this. Maybe he could interview that FBI agent, and ask her what she thinks now.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
