So I’ve been asking for two years now, “what does Barack Obama’s idea of compromise look like?” The number of people I’ve asked is staggering, from random sycophantic bloggers to Obama supporters doing voter registration in The City, to unanswered emails to his media operation, and the silence has been truly deafening. No […]
5.6. Strongest earthquake in my 10 years in Cali Yard.
“I eradicate movefakers, roll with coat shakers
Give dap to mad money makers
Shared cells with lifetakers, have sex with rumpshakers
I make moves so ima earthquaker.”
When does Condi Rice get her lying ass handed to her?
The bombshell AP exploded yesterday evening totally takes the cake, as far as I’m concerned:
The State Department promised Blackwater USA bodyguards immunity from prosecution in its investigation of last month’s deadly shooting of 17 Iraqi civilians, The Associated Press has learned.

Three senior law enforcement officials […]
US Dollar, 1998-2007
1) Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill (7/24/01):
The US Treasury secretary Paul O’Neill yesterday told American manufacturers worried about the strong dollar to “go back to graduate school and learn the lessons”.

The L.A. Times reports that Rudy Giuliani’s campaign may have been caught red-handed engaging in what — according to the laws of the land — constitutes election fraud. That is to say, in a violation of federal election law.
This pertains to the proposal to have Californians vote on a ballot initiative to split California’s […]
AP: Obama Fundraiser Defects to Clinton - Bob Farmer, who had served on Obama’s national finance committee, is now going “to help rival Hillary Rodham Clinton win the party’s presidential nomination”.
WaPo: FEMA Meets the Press, Which Happens to Be . . . FEMA - Inspired, no doubt, by the success of a certain […]
Marc Ambinder has a weird exchange between the Clinton and Obama campaigns on the Kyl-Lieberman Iran bill. Apparently Obama wants to compare Clinton’s vote on it to the 2002 Iraq vote. Fair enough, she came down on the wrong side then and has done the same (to a lesser extent) now. But […]
I suddenly remembered that Dana Perino, who has been subjected to much ridicule after claiming on Wednesday that global warming offers some health benefits too, made a very interesting statement six months ago on the subject of global warming and herself.
This was in the context of all those deleted White House emails, and the possibility […]
Dana Bimberino, spelling out the health benefits of climate change:
Q: And one more. You mentioned that there are health benefits to climate change. Could you describe some of those?
MS. PERINO: Sure. In some cases, there are — look, this is an issue where I’m sure lots of […]
Senator Chris Dodd has taken a bold stand on the new FISA bill that absurdly provides retroactive immunity for the telcos who gave personal data to the Bush administration without a court order. His hold won’t last forever, and counting on a successful filibuster isn’t wise.
Please take a few minutes to sign […]
