"A goddamn parallel universe . . . or is it just the Danger Room?"*
*The X-Men's training facility, not Wired's blog on defense issues
Was listening to the podcast of Wait, Wait Don't Tell me and heard about a hamster who had escaped in his little rubber hamster ball passing motorists stuck in traffic. I'm thinking it's the CP hamster and he's gotten so scared by our comments about the state of the world that he made a break for it, and is off to set up his own survivalist compound.
We really are totally fucked.
Bush and Cheney aren't going to desperately cling to power, they're not going to cancel the election, have a coup d' etat., or even count on controlling psychogeezer as their puppet.
Nope, they're gonna go.
But they are gonna trash the place on the way out. And thats what they're doing. They have no restraint on them, they have no reputation to lose, they are going to be more and more reckless as the clock ticks down. After the election, then there'll be bombs falling.
Also, Nojo, I can haz bloglinky here? I put you on mine.

What just happened? Wait, let me check something. And..... yes -- the Clintons totally blow. I thought something wasn't quite right when I woke up this morning.
(BTW: The Mothership was working just fine in the alternate dimension I was just in. How about in this dimension -- any sort of update?)
ALSO: if word can be sent up and down the line -- there was talk recently about a local CP get-together here in Shekagoh. I would suggest Friday Night at some place with a teevee and lots of alcohol, so that the debate can be enjoyed properly.
From NYT:
Asserting that the plan would allow Mr. Paulson to act with “absolute impunity,” Senator Dodd said, “After reading this proposal, I can only conclude that it is not only our economy that is at risk, Mr. Secretary, but our Constitution, as well.”

Amazing, just what I always thought, conservatives are frightened people. Afraid of empowered women, afraid black criminals are coming to rape them and steal their wives, afraid spicy food, afraid of furriners, afraid of change, afraid other people are looking down on them.
Guess thats why love authority and cops and uniforms and the military a big strong daddy-government to keep them safe, test their urine, and tell them what to do, its why they like reciting creeds in unison and all that herd-like stuff, too.
Pics of half-naked Fillino guys romping in the surf would be nice. Just a thought.
@Chicago Bureau: I did have some informal debate-watching plans with friends, but I've been waiting anxiously for a CP meetup and could be talked into ditching them if we could round up the troops for alcohol and snide remarks.
Bush, Paulson, and Bernanke have been trying to stampede Congress into just giving Wall Street a Trillion dollars, no questions asked, "here, have this, enjoy," I guess as a consolation prize because he couldn't give them social security (see for comparison his giving the Texas state employee pension funds to one of his dad's cronies).
But some dems and also republicans are balking, and each hour that goes by without monsters coming out from under our beds and eating us, the urgency recedes.
Pakistan is now shooting at us and is within hearing distance of a fundamentalist-al-queada takeover, Russia told us to fuck off and we are powerless to do anything about it, and now they are end-arounding us on Iran,
Obama is kinda treading water, speaking strongly but being ignnored because he's a democrat and noone wants to hear serious policy.
Al Quaeda has done a couple of major attacks, overseas, Islamabad and that african country, and the US army has stationed an active and ready combat division in the US which is now training in putting down civil unrest.
Bush is off the wagon, there will be a terrorist attack in the US before November, and he knows it, you can tell by the hideous uncontrollable smirking, guy has so many tells, wish I could play poker with him.
It's a beautiful screed, even if Taibbi's been a bit full of himself.
Thanks for sharing.
Hey, alls, didja look at the pools this morning? Looking good....
