re: #7 doppelganglander

Question of the day: What is the best way to ensure I spend January 20th in complete oblivion?

You wanna ease into it: here's my suggestion:

You'll need the following items:

1) A handle (1.74 l) of gin. Don't cheap out with the crappy house brand. Go with a reliable, proven gin. London dry gin is perfectly acceptable, but if you can get your hands on a real Geneva gin, don't hesitate to take the plunge.

2) At least 4 liters of ginger ale. Brand doesn't matter much here, just make sure it pair with your gin, i.e., if drinking a dry gin, get Schweppes, but have a dry ginger ale to pair with your Geneva gin.

3) A bottle of Angostura bitters.

Instructions:

In a highball glass, place a small quantity of ice. Two dashes of bitters is the minimum, but don't put more than four or five in there, or you'll kill the gin. Now, pour in about two fingers of gin. Swirl gently till the gin is slightly pink, then top with ginger ale.

Drink up, and keep drinking til you're out of ginger ale. At that point, switch over to pink gin, which is just gin and bitters on the rocks. Repeat as necessary.

I watched an interview last night with HW Bush and W Bush in the Oval Office.

The question was about the differing opinions on respect for the actual Oval Office, and about how HW had never, ever entered without a jacket and tie. W said that he felt the same way and could only think of twice he came into the office without a tie.

The funny part was the look of shock and disapproval that quickly passed over HW's face upon hearing there were two occasions when W did NOT wear a tie.

But why didn't the interviewer come out and say what he meant. "Neither of you ever had sex with employees in here, right?"

Defensive attack on the United States

The attack on New York was not surprising, since the policy has led the West in recent decades. I am upset over the terrorist attack, but is equally upset over the suffering which the United States has created. It is in this context 5000 dead people must be seen. If the U.S. government has a legitimate right to bomb and kill civilians in Iraq, they have also suppressed a moral right to attack the United States with the weapons they had to create. Dead civilians is the same whether they are Americans, Palestinians or Iraqis, "said surgeon and professor Mads Gilbert.

Run and hide. It will not be pretty. What a hell of a mess the Big dig in Boston was. It was supposed to cost millions, then they said it was $15 billion. Two months ago, they said they had calculated interest incorrectly, and the cost doubled to $30 Billion. Now, they are considering selling the Massachusetts turnpike to a private entity, cause they cannot pay for it.

re: #95 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Yeah. No doubt.

Perhaps someone has already posted their response but here goes:

Dear Tokyobk,

Thank you for writing and for calling to my attention the claim by the Little Green Footballs blog that it was the first to discover that the photo of the Iranian missile test had been faked.

I inquired further into this matter, and here is what I found: According to Patrick Witty, the photo editor I quoted in Sunday's public editor column, the photo in question came into the system at The Times at 12:01:29 p.m. on July 9. It was subsequently published on the newspaper's Web site, and Witty said he planned to use it in the next morning's printed newspaper. But he said that something struck him as unusual about the picture -- it was just too perfect -- so he opened it in Photoshop and determined that it was a fake. He said he notified the Web photo editor at about 4 p.m. to take the picture down immediately and then went into the news meeting, in progress, to tell the photo director that the picture was a fraud and shouldn't be used in the next day's paper.

Witty said he called AFP at about 6 p.m. to tell them the picture was not genuine, but the wire service refused to send out a correction. The Times published a story about the fake the next morning.

Looking at screen grabs from nytimes.com, my assistant determined that the photo and an accompanying story were posted on the site at 3:13 p.m. on July 9. By 4:31 p.m., the photo was gone. According to the Little Green Footballs site, its story about the fake photo was posted at 6:13:47 PDT on July 9, which would be 9:13 p.m., New York time, or not quite five hours after the photo had been removed from The Times's site. Witty said he was not aware of the posting by Little Green Footballs, and the time stamps verify his statement.

I've encountered a number of these claims before by bloggers. As you know, the Web is a huge universe that is virtually impossible for any single news organization to monitor. Sometimes stories break in more than one place at a time, and one originating site is not aware that information it has published has appeared elsewhere at roughly the same time. In this case, I think it is pretty clear that The Times took corrective action on the photo, based on its own independent analysis, long before Little Green Footballs published its account.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Clark Hoyt

Today, Election Journal confirmed that that one of the named parties is actually a Committee Member of the local Democratic organization and was certified by the local Democratic Party as a poll-worker.

That’s right. The Philadelphia Democratic Party has been implicated in voter intimidation, and the DoJ’s Civil Rights Division has filed suit against it. And the media ignores it. Why? I’ll let you figure that out.

That is going to be the biggest waste of money. Don't the people in Seattle remember their history and how that land was created. Are they all oblivious to the parts of Seattle called underground Seattle? It floods when the tide comes in?

In Boston, they came up with new ways of constructing tunnels. Called the slurry method. Believe me, Boston, especially from the waterfront to the back bay is all man made land. They had to freeze massive tracts of ground among other things to get it done. Dont worry Washington, you too shall have a leaky, unstable tunnel that will bankrupt you and your great, great, great grandchildren!

re: #131 Jetpilot1101

Well, ya see, if we keep spending money we don't have, twisting the arms of lenders who want no more of our treasuries to take more, to build things named after members of congress, we can leave this mess to our great-great-grand kids to deal with.
Does that help ?

More Than a Good FeelingWhy are so many oligarchs, royal families, and special-interest groups giving money to the Clinton Foundation?

...The deal struck by the wide-eyed incoming Obama administration is that the list of donors to the Clinton Foundation will be reviewed once every year and that only the new donations from foreign states—which already include an extraordinarily large number from Gulf sheikdoms—will be scrutinized by administration lawyers. How would we react if we read that this was the rule for the Vladimir Putin government, say, or former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder's regime in Germany? Before me, for example, is the report of a pledge of $100 million to the Clinton Foundation's Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative by a set of companies based in Vancouver and known as the Lundin Group. The ostensible purpose of this mind-boggling contribution is stated in the usual vacuous terms of "sustainable local economies," chiefly in Africa. All I know for sure about the Lundin Group is that it does quite a lot of business in Sudan. And all I can think to ask—as perhaps some senator might think to ask—is why such a big corporate interest doesn't just donate the money directly, rather than distributing it through the offices of an outfit run by a seasoned ex-presidential influence-peddler. What do they and the other donors suppose they are getting for their money? A good feeling?

re: #101 tokyobk

Witty said he called AFP at about 6 p.m. to tell them the picture was not genuine, but the wire service refused to send out a correction. The Times published a story about the fake the next morning.

Looking at screen grabs from nytimes.com, my assistant determined that the photo and an accompanying story were posted on the site at 3:13 p.m. on July 9. By 4:31 p.m., the photo was gone. According to the Little Green Footballs site, its story about the fake photo was posted at 6:13:47 PDT on July 9, which would be 9:13 p.m., New York time, or not quite five hours after the photo had been removed from The Times's site. Witty said he was not aware of the posting by Little Green Footballs, and the time stamps verify his statement.

He's moving the goalposts! The claim was that LGF broke the story, not that we were the first in the world, chronologically, to notice the fakery. They may have removed it from the site, but Hoyt himself says the Times didn't publish about it until the next morning.

Via NRO on-line:

The press corps, most of us, don't even bother raising our hands any more to ask questions because Obama always has before him a list of correspondents who've been advised they will be called upon that day."

As I watched President Bush's final tango with reporters this morning, I was reminded of how Chicago Sun-Times columnist Carol Marin described President-elect Obama's press conferences thus far:

"As ferociously as we march like villagers with torches against Blagojevich, we have been, in the true spirit of the Bizarro universe, the polar opposite with the president-elect. Deferential, eager to please, prepared to keep a careful distance.

The Obama news conferences tell that story, making one yearn for the return of the always-irritating Sam Donaldson to awaken the slumbering press to the notion that decorum isn't all it's cracked up to be.

The press corps, most of us, don't even bother raising our hands any more to ask questions because Obama always has before him a list of correspondents who've been advised they will be called upon that day."

Ehud Olmert is an absolute dick. He publicly bragged that he circumvented Condoleeza Rice and got GWB to overrule her on the UN proposal made by Rice. This is beyond stupid for two main reasons.

1. It feeds into every Jew hating, Israel bashing conspiracy theory that claims the Israelis have control of US foreign policy. It gets no worse than that.

2. It puts the next female Secretary of State (who may or may not be as friendly to Israel as the one Olmert just screwed ) on notice that she cannot trust Israelis to respect her authority. That is pretty bad.

Olmert wanted to show the Israeli public he was a macho guy who could go around anyone he wanted to in order to reach the POTUS. What an asshat! All he did was create mistrust of his country at a time they need the trust of the US public more than ever. I could starngle that MF.
