From the article on the heckling teabaggers:

"Catherina Wojtowicz, of Chicago's Mount Greenwood community, an organizer for a Tea Party splinter group, Chicago Tea Party Patriots, falsely claimed that the Houghs fabricated their story."

The teabaggers have splinter groups now?

I realize the Tea Party crowd is pretty extreme, but what kind of people publicly heckle a grieving family?

Shouty stupid people like the kind you find at Teabagger events.

Crazy homophobic preachers ?

The teabaggers have splinter groups now?

I can never keep it straight -- are they the People's Front of Judean or the Judean Popular People's front?

Will the Secret Service agents who allowed the couple in face disciplinary measures? This seems like a pretty serious failure of security to me.

Time to teabag Lieberman...

Got a DNC letter today offering to match my donation dollar for dollar. How sweet...

But I need an answer to this question:

Joe Lieberman torpedoed health care reform for millions of Americans. He doesn't give a fart about the needy or the destitute. Yet he continues to chair a Senate Committee that is in the control of the Democratic party. How can I (or you) possible give money to a political party that empowers Lieberman's treachery in this way?

The answer is: I can't and I won't.
Nor should you and you and you...

It is way past time to do some teabagging of our own.
I realize it is a bad trade: No public option for Joe's head.
But think of the alternative: No public option and Joe lording over his favorite Senate committee.

It is beyond imagination.
Judas Joe must go...

Those tea people are the most morally depraved fucks on the planet.

Oh, hey, Korleyel.

Still think its a good idea to invade Iran so we can assassinate their leaders? You fucking moron.

I take it back. The tea people are the most morally depraved fucks, after Korelyel.

Putting garnish on the garish...

Still think its a good idea to invade Iran so we can assassinate their leaders?

Okay, I will condescend:
No brave-hearted peacenik in dirty pink underwear....
I never thought it a good idea to send troops there. I said "skunkworks" or "drones." Here is what I wrote back then, and yes I still stand by it:

Unrest in the streets of Tehran.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. And we know who has the guns in Iran. And who doesn't.

The youth of Iran can't change those facts one whit by offering up their skulls to clubs or their chests to bullets. They are just wasting their flesh. Nor will all the brave green font used by Western bloggers change Iran one nudge. In fact, encouraging the youth of Tehran to offer themselves up as canon fodder is hardly noble blogging.

Guns always win in civil unrests of this sort. And the dictators always consolidate their power. Period.

So let's not quibble: Iran is a dictatorship now. And the dictator is Ahmadinejad.

And he will be the dictator 10 years from. And his son will be the dictator 30 years. And his son's son will be the dictator 50 years from now.

This is North Korea all over again in a much more volatile region of the world.

If I am president: I give Iran 2 more months to come to heel with their nuclear bomb ambitions. After two months are up, and if they are still recalcitrant, then I bomb their nuclear installations to smithereens. AND... I start a skunkworks to assassinate Ahmadinejad. I fast track those little drones that can fly into a building like insects, and prick this prick with poison. Ahmadinejad is no fucking good for the future of this planet. Allowing his dictatorship to flourish is a mistake. Kill him. Make that a priority. And the sooner the better.

It is either that, or 5 years from now, Iran will be arcing rockets out into space like that Kim Jung Jackass...

And it looks like the Administration is realizing too... I was right.

Can koreyel spell "blowback"? Not many people are so shortsighted as to articulate an actual justification for a future 9-11 scale massacre, but koreyel seems well on his way.

Old-style acts of conscience involved accepting risk while speaking truth to power.

The Bush-style mode was to wield power while putting another person's body at risk-- and lecturing them about 'values' while they were in the doctor's office. Those laws are still on the books.

It's so wrong-- a nurse's opinion on why medical workers should respect their patient's conscience.

"Dubai World, a government investment company, seems to be out of money. Global markets did not respond well to the news."

Wow. Who could have seen that coming? Intending to build multi million dollar homes on man made sand spits a few feet above sea level? You bet if you've got more money than brains. Of course the islands are shaped like palm fronds. That's cool.

And the indoor snow skiing while it's 116 degrees outside? That makes sense. Will they dismantle their fancy buildings and sell the steel for scrap or just let them bake in the sun and gradually fill with sand until they collapse?

Makes me feel all Schadenfreudey.

I remembered that Halliburton moved it's HQ to Dubai not that long ago. That made me wonder how that was going. Ha-ha. Scurry back to Houston you Hallirats:

Coop,

"Will the Secret Service agents who allowed the couple in face disciplinary measures?"

Looks like they are trying to make a low-level uniformed officer the scapegoat.

Joe Friday, @ 22:48 (Looks like they are trying to make a low-level uniformed officer the scapegoat.)

But, of course! Who was responsible for Abu Ghraib? A few bad apples, at the lowest level. It's always so.

In the "open vein" thread (and vice versa)... Something that several commenters here have been recommending for ages is now being pushed by a Nobel Prize (in economics) winner:

Vis the Tea Partiers mocking human misery: disgusting, but not surprising; such actual stories of the real effects of the screwed up system we have *do* cloud up the straight "issues" message of "Cut the taxes! Stop the spending!" If I were a Tea Partier (of either faction), I might start thinking of pushing sob stories of my own -- about how the uninsured grandma miraculously revived from her stroke/coma after receiving 1 million prayers on her cell phone and her Facebook wall, from total strangers.

"Since when does student-loan debt interfere with becoming an attorney?"

Since it demonstrates moral tupitude, that's since when.

"His application demonstrates a course of action amounting to neglect of financial responsibilities with respect to the student loans he has accumulated since 1983"

This guy has piled up a "debt" (or a "scam") of a half-million dollars in the course of being a student for TWENTY-SIX years!!

His debt service is TEN THOUSAND per month.

No new lawyer can pay that back, or could even in the days of more than 100K salaries for TOP graduates of TOP law schools.

The headline in a lowline. This guy is a scammer, a grifter. And I credit the State Bar for recognizing it.

Damnit, Burro, you wrote my post.

Sorry inkadu. I don't know if Dubacle World jumped the shark with the Burj Dubai or the indoor skiing joint or the dredged up sand spits but somewhere in there it turned into it's own cartoon and I hope the place is featured on "The Atom Blog" one of these days.

If Teabaggers all had balls in their mouths like they're supposed to, we wouldn't be reading/watching stories like this. Teabaggers need to go back to porn school!

Koryleyel, your post is every bit as moronic today as it was when first posted.
