Eek! Things are not so great for free speech in Ecuador. Their pipsqueak communard prez, Rafael Correa, sure is thin-skinned, and now their high court says he can jail opposition newspapermen for "libeling" him:
Ecuador court upholds pro-Correa libel verdict
— Ecuador's highest court upheld early Thurday a criminal libel verdict favoring President Rafael Correa, including three-year prison terms for three executives and a columnist of the opposition newspaper El Universo, and a total of $42 million in damages.
The defendants, joined by international press freedom and human rights groups, have called the case a blatant attempt by Correa to bankrupt the paper and part of a concerted campaign by Ecuador's populist president to stifle free speech and silence critics.
After a 13 1/2-hour final hearing, the three-judge panel of the National Court of Justice deliberated nearly two hours before ratifying the verdict, which was first handed down in July and ratified by an appeals court last month.

What an odd news day. I am still laughing to the point of tears over the Heartland Institute story.
"It's not a real policy, but anyone we find who got hold of it will be sent to prison."
OK, guys, which is it?
And Sarah? Oh, please jump in, you ill-read Caribou Barbie.
And Frothy Mix is busting Mittens' balls, without money or on-the-ground professional staff. Mr. Inevitable has got to be chewing his arm off in frustration.

Watched the Rachel Maddow show earlier. Strange news indeed. It looks like Romney may not have won in Maine after all. There was apparently some serious hanky-panky in reporting some returns. 18 towns-worth were not included at all in the final tally, being registered as "zero," even though officials in those towns claim to have reported their results the night of the election. Some of those areas are believed to have gone heavily for Ron Paul. Romney's margin over Paul was less than 200 votes in the suspect results.
Something fishy in the state of Maine
Conspiracy-prone Paul-bots will go absolutely bug-eyed over this one.

Oddly, I haven't heard from any of the Paul-bots I know since this broke. They have either been abducted by black helicopters or they are too shocked at their good fortune to say anything. It's not every day that Rachel Maddow reports something that favors their guy. A rigged election is still an offense against democracy even if Satan is the victim (I think he last ran in Nevada).

Willard Romney has got to be feeling like the captain of the Titanic right now. He is on top of the world, all but crowned as the GOP nominee, then he loses three in a row to Foamy and might very well lose one to Ron Paul.

The drought this last year in Texas has stressed trees to an incredible degree. Ten minutes ago, a 60 foot post oak next door fell over. At least 50 years old. It took out half of the front porch of the house to the west, crushed a fence, and generally did a lot of mayhem.
Two feet in diameter, that's a lot of weight.

As bad as he's feeling, imagine how the GOP leadership's feeling right now. Mittens was their boy, the guy they'd chosen to bear the flag this go around, and yet he's lost more primaries than he's won. Even now, Santorum's beating him 9% in Michigan and within ten points in Arizona, both states that were solidly in Romney's pocket a month ago. He has to come from behind and take both, or else he might as well start writing his concession speech.

Even if Wilard pulls this out, there will be a feeling among a lot of the GOP base that he was foisted on them against their wishes, which means there will be a singular lack of enthusiasm for him on the campaign trail and at the polls

True enough, hence their recent stunts in Congress. Their plan of attack seems to be riling up the base with as many "outrages" as it takes to get them "energized" for the fight against Obama. Problem with this strategy? Their first foray, the battle against contraception, is more likely to piss off female Republicans than it is to get them to show up at the polls.

His statement, IIRC, went something like "Romney will do what he's told," which was his way of assuring the faithful that they don't have to worry about Mittens personal views, he'll sign whatever the Tea Party puts before him if he knows what's good for him.
Really, the signal being sent now seems to be that the Right has all but given up on winning the presidency and now is focused on winning Congress or at least maintaining their current numbers. Problem with that is that all the remaining candidates are different flavors of poison.

Charles Pierce over at Esquire sums up the GOP race nicely:
This is a speech that should disqualify Santorum not only from any serious consideration as president of the United States, it should be enough to send him so far into the fringes of American politics that he'd have to dial 1 to contact Fred Karger. Within this speech, there are a couple of dozen potential attack ads for any candidate willing to run against Santorum on the Not Insane, Not A Dick platform. This is a speech that has presented Willard Romney with an entire school of very big fish in very small barrels. But he has put himself into a position where he cannot defend the actual science of global warming. He cannot plausibly defend the facts behind the history of the country. He cannot plausibly defend even in a pale and nervous fashion the privacy rights of 51 percent of the American population. But, because of the candidate he's made of himself, Romney cannot plausibly stand for reason, or even for sanity.
This is your democracy, America. Cherish it.

Also, to follow Pierce's analogy that Romney is the Death Star to everyone else's Alderaan, it's worth noting that the Death Star got blown up twice. That's probably not a good sign for Mitt.

The editorial itself is fraking hilarious, but the first comment is the cherry on top.
First it was Jack Ryan, otherwise known as the guy who WASN'T satisfied just getting to nail Seven of Nine, but had to try to get her to kink it up. Then it was Alan Keyes, who overachieved getting 10 percent of the vote. Then it was McCain/Palin, who campaigned like they didn't even KNOW they were in a paper bag. And now Santorum and Gingrich will either overtake Romney or damage him to the point of hilarity. The question is: Did Obama sell his soul or just 10 years of his life?

Where does Ronald-Ann fit

Long story short: Drunk off-duty cop sees two hispanic brothers trying to stop a drunk dude from attacking a woman, the cop wades in, starts hitting people, and finally shoots both brothers, killing one of them. The cops don't let the dying man's wife stay in the ambulance with him, so she's not there when he dies. Unless there's a version of the story that's wildly different that the police will present, this is just fucking awful.
The kicker:
The family says Coronado was following "conflicting city policies" when he shot the brothers, "one policy requiring him to carry a firearm and intervene in all conflicts, and another policy prohibiting him from carrying his firearm and intervening after drinking."

[Link: www.courthousenews.com...]
A black man claims Chicago police beat and arrested him for filming officers with his cell phone, but a white man recording the same scene was politely asked to put his camera away - and the plaintiff says he has it all on camera.
In Gillett's case, he says that one day in August 2011, he had finished work in downtown Chicago when he saw a disturbance involving Chicago police officers.
Gillett, a 29-year-old union steel worker, says he "gathered with other onlookers and began filming the scene with his cellular telephone."
"As plaintiff was recording, defendant Sergeant Thompson approached a Caucasian male who was also video recording the police activity and politely asked him to stop filming. This interaction was recorded by plaintiff's cellular phone.
"Shortly thereafter, defendant Thompson approached plaintiff (who is black) and physically assaulted him, grabbed his phone, swore at him, pulled and dragged him to the hood of a police care, kneed and kicked him, and then handcuffed him.
"Defendant officers searched the person and clothes of plaintiff.
"The entire incident was recorded on plaintiff's cellular telephone."
His attorney Hamilton told Courthouse News: "You see the same police officer walk up to a white guy filming on a cell phone - the same officer - approach the guy and say, 'Put the video down.' The white guy actually has a video camera. The officer gives him the thumbs up and walks away."My client got this on film. Thirty seconds later, my client takes the white guy's place, and the cop basically tackles him, swears at him, etc. And of course, my client is black. It's a very clear example of how the police treat people completely differently because of the way they look."
In his complaint, Gillett says he "was brought back to the police station, where defendant officers charged plaintiff with resisting arrest, a Class A misdemeanor for which he faced a possible one-year jail sentence.
Classic. Arresting a guy for resisting arrest. Cops never get tired of the irony of that one.

I doubt it, since I think the officer was Hispanic himself. More shot because the cop didn't have the sense to realize that he was drunk, and the city didn't have a clear policy about locking away your firearm when you're a cop who's drunk, and had a policy that an off-duty cop needed to intervene in any fight.
Assuming the story, as given by the plaintiffs, is true, but since it involves a lot of witnesses I doubt they'd be fabricating anything at this point.

And in good news, this guy is actually doing some time:
[Link: www.fox5sandiego.com...]
One of the women he assaulted is a friend of a friend.
A former San Diego police officer accused of trying to elicit sex from seven women he pulled over in the Gaslamp District was convicted of eight felony counts and four misdemeanors Thursday.
Jurors found Anthony Arevalos, 41, guilty of multiple counts of asking for a bribe, and assault and battery by a police officer.
However, Arevalos was acquitted of other serious charges, including sexual battery by restraint charges, and while he was found guilty of false imprisonment, those counts were reduced to misdemeanors.
He should have been found guilty on the other charges as well, but at least he's actually getting prison time.
And I'd like to conclude with the note that most cops work a thankless job, dealing with boring, annoying, tiresome crap, and that they enact the political will of the DA and their superiors. I'm not trying to weave an anti-cop narrative; I think cops would benefit from being more proactive about getting rid of the bad elements in their midst.
I am absolutely sure other cops knew about Arevalos pulling this scam on women.

If it does turn out that he lost to Paul, and subsequently loses in Michigan to Santorum, I'm not really sure how Romney can revive his campaign. The only thing he's had going for him so far has been the "inevitability" of his nomination, that the party was always going to settle on him in the end. He loses that, there's really nothing left for him.

I still somewhat believe that he will ultimately be the nominee, but not as sure as I was even a month ago. It was sort of predictable that, as the list of "Not Romneys" thinned out, there would be migration from those who jumped ship to those who were still in the race. But the move from Newt to Santorum seems to have been timed just right to serve as a spoiler in primaries that Romney would have to win to be seen as "viable."

Are we on the subject of gas prices? Three GOP Senators are trying to make them go much, much higher so John Boehner's investments make more money. They're also jeopardizing US National Security and emboldening Iran in the process:
In other words, unless the president approves Keystone, he cannot sell our emergency oil — even if Iran causes an oil supply disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, a hurricane or other disaster disables oil production or refining facilities, or any other type of event causes gasoline prices to soar above $4 per gallon. If any of these events happen, middle class Americans would pay significantly higher gasoline pump prices, giving billions of dollars more to big oil companies that made record profits last year.

Last night, I drew an analogy between McCarthyism and the current mentality of the Republican base. Our friend Target Practice pointed out that certain influential GOP trend-setters have actually made a sustained effort to rehabilitate McCarthy in recent years, which is certainly not coincidence.
This analogy is common in certain circles, but I think the situation today may actually be much worse than in the 50s.
The original McCarthyism was narrowly focused on a monolithic enemy, the "communist conspiracy," a crude caricature of the actual communist threat in those days. Today's neo-McCarthyites have a broad array of causes to which they can apply the drunken senator's depraved methodology: Reproductive rights, gay rights, the Muslim community, and the education system are each the target of their own particular brand of McCarthyism. There are many other target niches as well, allowing McCarthyite methods and philosophy to be applied across a broad front. McCarthyism is not a specific ideology, except that its ultimate goal is always conformity and control. It is, rather, a method, a mindset for conducting and subverting public discourse to meet the ends of power.

I would like to give an advise for checking the authenticity of the PDF in question.
This method should work if the person used a major public email service like Google or Yahoo.
The person who has the original email should download it with some client like Outlook or Thunderbird (but not The Bat, which has a buggy export) and post it as an .eml file - with headers and all.
The crucial part of the email is the DKIM signature. It is added by all major servers and it verifies not only the body of the email, but also the attachments and the main headers. There are several online DKIM verification forms, so verifying should not be a problem. If it passes verification, then it was indeed sent out from HI.

The case and its possible connection to immigration recalled the arrest and eventual guilty plea of Jeffrey Harbin, a well-known neo-Nazi arrested in January 2011 near the Arizona-Mexico border. He was carrying 12 homemade grenade-like devices fitted with ball bearings, which were meant to “maximize human carnage,” as a prosecutor put it at the time. Details of Harbin’s plans were never made public.

Man With Bombs Arrested as Kansas Anti-Immigrant Hearing Opens
From the link:
The man’s truck had a specialty Florida license plate that is only issued to qualified U.S. military paratroopers. The AP said it also had a Special Forces sticker on its bumper and a sticker on its back window saying, “Does my American flag offend you? Call 1 800 LEAVE THE USA.”
Saleh said the explosives were made with household materials and designed to spray shrapnel. He said the bombs were live, “actual explosives.”
Yikes! It's unlikely that anyone but a real paratrooper could get those plates and also unlikely that a real para would claim SF affiliation if he doesn't have it. If this was an actual SF guy and not a flake, the bombs would be properly designed and built, and could have caused huge casualties. We could be seeing a big step up in the fieldcraft and operational competence of right-wing terrorism.

Terrorist family squabble...
Al Qaeda cell leader killed in family dispute
Sanaa, Yemen (CNN) -- Hundreds of Yemeni security forces deployed to the southwestern city of Rada Thursday after the leader of an al Qaeda-linked cell was killed by his older brother, sparking retaliatory attacks that also left the brother dead, security officials in the province told CNN.
Tareq al-Thahab headed a cell of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) that recently took over Rada, in al-Baitha province, and declared it an Islamic emirate.
Three provincial security officials said he was killed by his brother, Hizam al-Thahab, who was apparently angry about the murders Wednesday of the regional head of the national election committee and four other officials accompanying him -- killings in which he believed his brother may have been involved. Hizam al-Thabab reportedly feared that the assassinations of the elections officials would bring reprisal killings against the powerful al-Thahab tribe.
Tribal sources told CNN that Tareq al-Thahab was killed inside a mosque where he and four followers were seeking shelter.
The defense ministry and the governor of al-Baitha confirmed his death.

Yeah, I'd say it's about time to start questioning their patriotism.
They know that people - especially those with tight budgets already - will be heavily affected by spikes in gas prices, and the GOP strategy will be to blame Obama for "not doing more to increase domestic (i.e. Canadian) supplies of oil".

At least eight Palestinian children and a teacher have been killed in a collision between a school bus and a lorry in the West Bank.
The bus was carrying children as young as four on their way to Ramallah, just north of Jerusalem.

Be careful of revisionist history. Although a working relationship never materialized there were contacts and proposals for collaborative projects between Al qaeda and Saddam. Saddam even offered Bin Laden asylum if the Taliban threw him out.
[Link: intelligence.senate.gov...]
See page 105.
As for alleged asylum:
[Link: www.reasons-for-war-with-iraq.info...]
(and yes, I checked this source against some others)
ABC News has learned that in December [1998], an Iraqi intelligence chief, named Farouk Hijazi, now Iraq's ambassador to Turkey, made a secret trip to Afghanistan to meet with bin Laden. Three intelligence agencies tell ABC News they cannot be certain what was discussed, but almost certainly, they say, bin Laden has been told he would be welcome in Baghdad.
Got more?

It's hard to tell what the hell the Iranians are thinking. They seem hell bent on going through with this regardless of the consequences. There's certainly no diplomatic solution and they seem willing to endure any sanctions no matter how painful. I think it all boils down to allowing them the bomb or destroying their program with force. I have no idea what they best decision is.

@dsccHouse GOP holding hearing on birth control coverage with ZERO women on panel!
More on the Issa sausage-fest:
ABCNews: Rep. Darrell Issa Bars Minority Witness, a Woman, on Contraception
“Where are the women?” the minority Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., asked early in the hearing.
She criticized the Republican committee chairman, Rep. Darrel Issa, for wanting to “roll back the fundamental rights of women to a time when the government thought what happens in the bedroom is their business.”
“We will not be forced back to that primitive era,” she said....
Fluke would have talked about a classmate who lost an ovary because of a syndrome that causes ovarian cysts. Georgetown, which is affiliated with the Catholic Church, does not insure birth control, which is also used to treat the syndrome.
...
Among the witnesses invited by Issa to attend the hearing was a representative of the Catholic bishops, who oppose the Obama administration “accommodation” on birth-control coverage. Joining them are many other men of other religions. Not invited, complained Democrats, were representatives from the Catholic Health Association, which is run by a woman and actually runs the Catholic hospitals, nor Catholic Charities, both of which said Friday they supported the president’s plan.
Ranking committee member Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., wanted to invite third-year Georgetown Law Center student Sandra Fluke to testify, telling Issa it was important to have at least one woman at the witness table because the issue involved health repercussions for women.
...
Cummings, the ranking Democrat, and Maloney asked Issa to reconsider and let Fluke testify, noting she was in the audience, when the hearing got underway Thursday.
Rep. Cummings accused Issa of creating “conspiracy hearing” and stacking the witness list by refusing to allow women “commits a massive injustice by trying to pretend that the views of millions of women across the country are meaningless.”

Ha! I'm not the only one making comparisons between Rick Santorum and Torquemada. Author Garry Wills agrees:
Rick Santorum is a nice smiley fanatic. He does not believe in evolution or global warming or women in the workplace. He equates gay sex with bestiality (Rick “Man on Dog” Santorum). He equates contraception with the guillotine. Only a brain-dead party could think him a worthy presidential candidate. Yet he is praised by television pundits, night and day, for being “sincere” and “standing by what he believes.” He is the principled alternative to the evil Moderation of Mitt Romney and the evil Evil of Newt Gingrich. He is presented as a model Catholic. Torquemada was, in that sense, a model Catholic. Messrs. Boehner and McConnell call him a martyr to religious freedom. A young priest I saw on television, modeling himself on his hero Santorum, said, “I would rather die than give up my church’s principles.” What we are seeing is not a defense of undying principle but a stampede toward a temporarily exploitable lunacy.

Is that when he sounds more like Ayn Rand than Jesus Christ on the plight of the poor?
Or when he makes a special exemption for himself when he got his wife an abortion.
You'd think that the Santorums' experience would make Rick more sensitive to the reality of abortion but no he's being a bigger than ever dick.

Alabama casino boss apologizes for exposure bonus
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A casino developer who has pleaded guilty to offering bribes to legislators testified Wednesday he was joking when he proposed having his female lobbyist expose her breasts to a state senator for his vote for a pro-gambling bill.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, jurors in Alabama's gambling corruption trial heard a wiretapped phone call between Country Crossing developer Ronnie Gilley and one of his male lobbyists. During the call, Gilley proposed a $50,000 bonus for casino lobbyist Jennifer Pouncy if she would expose her breasts to then-Sen. Jim Preuitt and let him touch her to secure his vote.
Gilley said he never asked her to do that. He apologized for the remark.
"It was a very distasteful joke," he said.
