Wow great stuff here thanks much Maica.
Finally found it! Info on the cop and his underling at http://greencycles.blogspot.com/2007/06/overview.html .
BTW Stephan Orsak, the cyclist, won in court as I think Larry Craig will too if he tries to contest this. I don’t know if you can do that having pled guilty, but the promise of not having it get out certainly wasn’t kept whether that was the cop’s fault or not.
LOL. Effective.
[The onus is on you to provide a link that disproves the 1/2-mile wide statement.]
I don’t feel a need to disprove it, rather I would like to have someone justify the need or rationale. Does 100+ lanes make any sense at all? To anyone??
Just questioning, not saying anyone is lying or mistating.
I agree but I was also struck by a very nasty possibility: what if they're hoping something could happen there that would... ummmm... get them out of their expensive and really stupid contract. Probably she'll never go anywhere actually dangerous though--just make up lies from a place almost as safe as home.
I'm betting she's searching for a Walter Cronkite "Tet Offensive" type moment so that she can declare the war officially lost.
...
I wonder if her timing was inspired by some "anonymous communication" from someone with direct knowledge of Al Qaeda's plans? Maybe a communication which might be subject to the dreaded "domestic surveillance" program?
Oh please, please, please let the Enemy Within be caught and exposed. Please, please, please.
Yeah, The Hillary Foundation for Twinkletoed Children.
If they bother to even move the funds at all, they'll probably go to the Clinton Global Initiative, The Clinton Foundation, or Hillary's well-used piggy bank The Children's Defense Fund.
About the Gucci loafers, I thought I'd die laughing about how excited the doofuses got about them till Mary ridiculed them. If he'd shown up in cowboy boots, they'd have accused him of coming in costume. He must really scare them.
Wow Doug, you are an unstoppable force!
I’d say that at least 50+% listen to NPR/public radio. The thought has crossed my tinfoil brain that there might be some reason for this ...
Because.... the... N .. P .. R .. Hosts .... talk ... slowly ... and... clearly... per.... haps?
You’re right. Duncan has not caught fire at all and I think his chances of doing so are pretty low.
Fred seems to have the charisma and momentum right now.
I just hope he doesn’t do anything I DON’T LIKE! (smile)
We’d be a lot more excited .... if we hadn’t gotten excited so many times before.
But, good luck!
It took a long time to make it through the system.
Pat Buchanan (I know, but he’s right sometimes) had an interesting column about the Craig matter.
His point was that even if Craig did indulge in that kind of quickie bathroom deviant behavior, it did not mean he was a hypocrite. He mentioned St. Paul’s ‘thorn in the side’ and said that Craig might very well be honestly against behavior that his compulsions led him to act on. He said, ‘it’s called being a sinner.’
But the main thing that struck me about the column was what he said about the way Mitt Romney totally abandoned Craig, who had been on his campaign committee (I think).
Apparently Romney felt called upon to denounce Craig as he was announcing Craig would no longer be a part of his (Romney’s) campaign.
Buchanan was wondering if it wouldn’t have been better to just say that Craig had resigned from his campaign and he had accepted it.
But Republicans try to get their own eaten before democrats can even get a bite.
I lost a little respect for Mitt over this.
Thanks, Sal. I think that things like this will break through in the new media this week. Not as a defense of Craig but raising the same questions we’re raising here, about the how and why of this particular scandal at this particular time.
I’d like to recommend that you send the link to this story to both Rush and the Minneapolis lawyer/bloggers at PowerLineBlog.COM. Both of them could do this type of story justice, if there’s any real there there.
Again, thanks for the link. Interesting story.
And ... hyp ... n o t .. ic .. al .. ly
The NPR hosts all sound like they are commenting at a golf tournament.
In Joseph Wambaugh's The New Centurions, there was a cop character confronted by an irate motorist who was getting ticketed, declaring loudly how the cop was just trying to fill a quota. The cop (played by Stacy Keach in the movie) coldly replied "No, they've gotten rid of the quotas. Now we can write as many tickets as we want," implying that without the quota they'd write more tickets.
That always struck with me.
Thanks snugs, it was a truly “from the heart” post.
