deadly devastatingly incisive headline from kuwait
[click image]It should do as our roundup for day twelve.
settle down, now
[click image]Suddenly, it's being put about that rockets were fired into Israel from Lebanon. Did that sound like a declaration of war? Do we even believe any rockets were really fired from Lebanon, and do we believe it would not have been the Israelis themselves if they were? Are we falling for this crap?
Of course, Sadr piped up -- right on schedule, according to Old Uncle Dave... according to all of us sitting here hoping every nation on earth would follow Venezuela and boot out their ambassadors -- which is sure to help the brains of almost everyone in Europe and America snap shut, just as were beginning to get them back open over this relentless carnage.
Fuck.
i was just listening to a scholarly-sounding pundit
[click image]... talking about a tipping point, how there's always a tipping point past which the world cannot continue to let Israel exterminate more people. This is getting so usual that scholars can say shit like this now. Yes. Yes, they can, you murderating fucks.
I, of course, am past my tipping point and still at full flood.
there were no fighters at the targeted school
[click image]Which we knew instinctively....
Schools hit by Israel THREE times, not on accident, and not in self-defense.
i think the death toll is radically under-reported
[click image]They have not been letting journalists in for the entire eleven days. They have been bombing the living snot out of a tiny strip of land that is the most densely-populated on earth from every direction. They're fucking lying about the casualties as they are lying about everything else. I know it. I can feel it in my bones.
The UN schools were bombed purposely.
They are targeting every Palestinian.
Now I want to see buses blown up in Israel.
by the twentieth they'll be twins
[click image]Have you got any confidence in this, either?
Think Obummer's going to put Posse Comitatus back together?
Oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god, just look at the gleeming 111th!
And damned if he doesn't look like Bashful with Dopey and his father Grumpy, as Happy and Doc try to ignore them and the camera. Too bad Sleepy and Sneezy were too dead to make it to lunch, and Snow White was off getting her teeth sharpend, or it could have been the perfect day in the Fairy Kingdom.... Here, check out the movie, and tell me I'm wrong.

the status of some ninety-niners
[click proof that Sam is really in Rwanda image]Alan has been nominated for Best Video Blog once again. We gotta make a concerted effort to get his ass elected. Every day for the next week, please click over to vote for him by your thousands and thousands. He IS Alan the Rove Slayer, after all, probably the most deserving of an award of anyone nominated in history. No shit. Check out the video of him with Rove at the top of his blog. Blow your mind.
Brad Not-the-World's-Greatest-Ninety-Niner Friedman has been nominated for Best Liberal Blog, because of his superior moderator, and despite having lumped us in with mere "liberals", and we're getting our butts kicked by TruthDig. You might consider helping us lose a little less ignominiously, as long as you're about it.
You can vote once a day in each category, so I will put the links at the top of my sidebar links for your convenience.
Homie is still of galavanting in the tropics.
Hilly has gone screaming naked temporarily off the tubes.
Ann as I have said is, wonderfully, back in Blogistan.
Old Uncle Dave is limping along.
Curt has risen from his own ashes.
Jaliya is cooking on all her cylinders.
Agent BB2 has been semi-with it while under the heavy burden of extremely persnickety clients.
Xoites and company seem to have lost their mojo, pending, I guess, some move or non-move by the 111th. The issue is NOT dead. Just hibernating.
Big Dan is still ablaze, never not ablaze, bless him.
Pedestrian has returned to a shock.
Smoke is in the groove.
Phil is cursing under a huge wad of tangled electronic gizmos.
Monte just keeps generating beautiful and positive things in between alerting us to the awful things that need our attention.
I can't say much about my faithful little band of lurkers because, of course, they lurk... one of them is probably my wealthy socialist gentleman working up the courage to ask me to run away with him.
And the rest of you don't have anything I can link to, but you seem to be muddling through okay....
Anyway, some voting and some visiting will be good to keep you from losing your cookies over this fucked-up world... though, honestly, I think it's high time we all went right 'round the bend on these fuckers, come completely untrained, FIX this fucked-up world and their fucked-up hides. If you have listened to Jimmy speaking so tragically close before the murderating fucks started in exterminating the people of Gaza, maybe you will get a renewed sense of just how far past the right time it is for us to do this.
No, really. There is at least one silverback left in Rwanda. It's 11:59, for sure, but try revolution, try revolution. Try revolution, won't you?
the most perfect election
[click image]Why not listen to President Carter with me now? Lecture and Q&A....
I got this from the incomparable Ann El Khoury, who seems to be back in bidnis.
[Goddammit! This made me cry. Israel doesn't want peace. They want PALESTINE and they will screw up every single attempt at justice and peace so as to keep exterminating those who stand in their way, like a long, vicious, insatiable worm with hideously sharp teeth. I swear, if you listen to this, you almost get the feeling that they decided to go on the present extermination campaign just to spite Carter and thwart the real progress his work, and patience, and bottomless decency in this apocalyptic mess promise. I'm not fit for polite company. If I hear one person backing Israel, I will knock their block off before they know what hit them.]
more and more and more and more
[click image]It is heartbreaking for Datuk Dr Jemilah Mahmood to watch from across the Egyptian border the bombings of Gaza and see children being brought out with sniper shots in the head.“A lot of kids are getting hurt. We can see the bombings clearly from where we are. Yesterday, we counted 20 bombings in just a matter of 15 to 20 minutes. After that, we stopped counting,” said the Mercy Malaysia president when contacted yesterday from Rafah.
“We saw at least 10 kids being brought out with gunshot wounds to the head.”
same two epitaphs again
[click image]My two Epitaphs keep needing to be chased all over the internet... God. Fucking. Dammit.
Epitaph [Fripp/McDonald/Lake/Giles/Sinfield (1969)]
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known
Knowledge is a deadly friend
If no one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools
...
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
When silence drowns the screams
Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
googled "111" and got
[click image]... an F-111 flaming fuel dump as the now customary omen for each new congress....
[And these omens are accurate.]
porsche
[click image]Oh, pfeh. They've always been the same company. And they never lose lawsuits. I know. I used to help make sure.
I also used to worship the 911. Still do.
I have the distinction of being told by men more often than any other living woman that I am a good driver. Ahem. I am a great driver! I rock! Okay? And that car, any year, is bliss. Rest assured, you are not leaving the road unless it is strictly your intention when driving a 911. That's in stone. The laws of physics will out.
In fact, goddammit! I might be able to stay sane enough to save the world if someone would give me my Porsche!
not accidental, not collateral damage, TARGETS
[click image]The numbers are too overwhelming.
This is an outright extermination campaign.
no, no, definitely NOT an accident
[click image of Gaza school children, in their coats, clutching their lunches in class]As I went to bed last night, they were reporting that Gazans were leaving their houses and amassing at schools in their fear and hoping to stay safe. In fact, we heard that they were warned out of their houses by Israeli pamphlets. No, no, everybody knew where the concentrations of Palestinians would be. This was no accident. Much easier to exterminate them when they're in groups.
And it wasn't just ONE school either.
enjoyable to hear
[click image]... but so tedious. As much as I want to like Olbermann and Maddow, they're not doing a very good job.

move israel to the south pole
[click image]For a few years I have been screaming, colorfully, as you know I do, to move Israel to the South Pole. People cry that, no, we mustn't do that, because the penguins will be at risk, and I say, no, no, not coastal Antarctica, but the very southernmost South Pole, where they can't possibly hurt anyone but themselves. I keep resorting to this solution.
I just did it again out on my porch, smoking a cigarette.
I had an epiphany.
If we moved Israel to Antarctica, they'd certainly kill off those dangerous and deadly terrorist penguins for the sake of safety, as they go about making their nation as comfortable and secure as possible, with ocean view condos for everyone, as befits the chosen.
THEN, finally, the world would revile them appropriately for their murderating ways.
You know I'm right.
signature please
[click image]No matter how feebed and nerve-racked it looks.
Tell everyone you know. Don't leave anyone out.
damn
[click image of Joe Kennedy II shaking hands with a Saudi]Joe's been at it thirty years, finding affordable heating for the old and infirm. Chavez just cut him off, hopefully temporarily, but it really is a wonder he has been willing to help this long. The pain and trouble we have inflicted on his people, on him, on people all over the world, and now on Gaza, must surely try the generosity of even the greatest people....
well, okay, then!
[click image]Now he could be the antichrist and I officially love his ass into eternity.
mad cows
[click image]I can't describe to you how I revile the ubiquitous "Digg It" icons. All the other such sharing conveniences. Why anyone couldn't postulate before putting up such a piece of shit idea that it would turn into pure groupthink almost immediately eludes me, unless it didn't elude them, and they just don't see anything wrong with it.
what's it like?
[click image]There are links to a couple videos of the scene on the ground in Gaza up at the top of my sidebar links right now. They're not faked. And while I'm on the subject of authenticity... that's real blood in the streets, authentic human blood.
who should live forever
[click image]For those of you who have only ever known the damned and benighting PC, you really only have the vaguest idea of the way life could be. I am an authority on this. Having succumbed to the desire to sync with other legal professionals two decades ago, I went against my nature and bought a hotrod PC. The agonies of that completely mistaken concession to How Things Are Done shall and should not be listed, as you are aware of them, acutely aware of them, even as you know not what your life could actually be. I, at least, recognized my silly error, and am made to rue it all over again every time I visit my mother or others so completely computer illiterate that I can be of service to them. They are in hell. You are in hell. We all are in hell, but maybe it is only those of us who use Macs who truly know the dimensions of it, since we are spared the worst of it and also having to deal with those of you not this fortunate every day. Steve Jobs should live forever.
appeal to reason
[click image]Sorry my attendance has been so spotty lately. I keep being dropped by dreaming at the wrong hours.
the russians sent someone to urge peace
[click image Alexander Saltanov speaking with Khaled Meshaal two years ago]In the picture here the Hamas leader is asking the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister for help getting the economic embargo on Palestine lifted two years ago. Now the minister made a trip to ask Livni for peace before the humanitarian crisis gets any worse. I am going to have to say that is a heck of a lot better than our crap government and New York's crap mayor have done.

barak's war is his picnic
[click image]The fucker had the audacity to state that war is no picnic. This is a fucking Israeli picnic.
no shit, sherlock
[click image]Surely "cast lead" invokes fishing... for what? Or are we talking cast metal as the tip of a projectile? Or simply lobbing lead into Gaza? Which definition of "cast" are we talking about, and which definition of "lead"? Surely it doesn't refer to the pitiful homemade rockets, the cast lead cast into Israel by freaked Palestinians they claim is the cause of this extermination?
[Plus, it just freaks me out how the Israelis are not letting in journalists. They keep promising, but no go. It's beyond ironical that a Gaza vegetable market really was hit by the Israelis, after the infuriating brouhaha over the doctored video put out about it last night, and if we had more real journalists in there, maybe this shit wouldn't happen... maybe more than just faked videos would stop, too. Maybe the murderating fucks would have to stop the wholesale slaughtering.]
obummer's testicles questioned as he enters israeli occupied territory
[click image]Deservedly so. I catch myself beginning to refer to him as "Cinderella" without even thinking....
it is SO NOT your duty to watch this video
[click image]Whoever pulled it was displaying extremely Israeli propagandistic impulses. Found this flash of pre-invasion propaganda that may illustrate my point. Look at the AP shots of people who are just as likely not Palastinian, with some pretty spiffy-looking little rockets and contrast them with the crude gadgets displayed in this image page of the relative damage.
[Trying to track it back to the perp.]
[Ironically, there really WAS a hit on a vegetable market in Gaza....]
lately, the wapo has gotten sorta loose, doncha think?
[click image]Well... with Cinderella in the Oval Office, they better be loud, we better be loud.
Yeah, right.

can't take it
I can't look in any more of my places, though I know there's bound to be a mountain more crucial information out there waiting for me to link you to it. I have striven to avoid sustained attention to the matter of Palestine as much as I possibly can because of how out of control it throws my whole being. I cannot overlook it, or note it and move on, or even put enough images and widgets here to soothe a micron of this pain. I know it already. But I went and got myself six movies and I'm nibbling on carrots while making my gourmet no fat chicken vegetable soup. I am going to do my best to escape for just a little while.
I am certain there are many, many, many melted bodies, charred skeletons just inside Gaza's border right now, as Israel's troops go about exterminating people in their homes. My bones feel like they are all broken.
So I'm just going to take a little break....
willy pete is back in town
[click image]How the FUCK do the Israeli pigs expect their little "humanitarian" invasion to play out?
Looks to me as though they mean Gaza to be Israel now. How else do you interpret the sudden use of the apocalyptically-illegal phosphorus bombs as the herald of the ground invasion? They wanted to make sure any defense mustered would be melted before they set foot in Palestine.
We used it illegally in Fallujah, and now we, as THE force enabling Israel, are using it in Gaza, since, oh, heck, why not heap war crime on crimes against humanity when no one will stop you and anyone who will hate you for it will be impotent and soon dead?
fascist amerael israica
[click image]Snippet:
1.Exaggerate the threats to Israel by the Palestinian missiles from Gaza, citing 4 Israeli deaths, while omitting any mention of the 2,500 Palestinian dead and wounded and the total destruction of their economy and living conditions (without safe water, electricity, food, cooking fuel, medicine and heat in the winter).
2.Promote Israel’s military assault as ‘defensive’, directed at eliminating Hamas rocket attacks while omitting mention of Israel’s clearly stated purpose of destroying all civil organizations, social welfare agencies, educational facilities, medical clinics and public security institutions connected in any way with the elected Hamas government and any auxiliary agencies.
3.Cite select statement from Israel’s allies and clients (Washington, the US media, Germany and the UK) blaming Hamas for the conflict without mentioning the vast majority of countries in the United Nations General Assembly condemning Israel’s brutality.
4.Reproduce Israeli slanders against any and all international human rights leaders and organizations that condemn the Jewish state’s policy of genocide against the native Palestinians. In this regard, TDA is the foremost ‘genocide denier’ in the United States and, perhaps outside of Israel, in the world.
5.Repeatedly cite Israeli political and military leaders’ claims of acting ‘with restraint’, ‘safeguarding civilians’, and ‘targeting military objectives’, even in the face of reports and images of mass civilian destruction and loss of life documented in the vast majority of (non-US) Western media.
6.Defend every Israeli bombing mission, every day, every hour, of every building, every home, and every economic, religious and educational institution in Gaza as ‘defensive’ or a ‘reprisal’, all the while quoting some of the most notorious, unconditional, perennial apologists of Israeli violence as if they were unbiased intellectuals, including Benny ‘Nuke Tehran’ Morris, Marty Peretz and Amos Oz.
7.The Daily Alert quotes US writers, journalists and editors who praise and defend Israel’s ‘total war’ without identifying their long-standing affiliation and identification with Zionist organizations, giving the false image of a wide spectrum of opinion behind the assault. Never has even the most moderate Jewish or Gentile critic of Israel’s massive extermination campaign appeared in any issues of The Daily Alert.
While searching for a stock image of some old timey fascists, I was bowled over by the number of completely out-of-it images of fascism exhibited by a stupidly large number of netizens. I could see over three years ago that the right had decided to confuse the living snot out of people as to the meaning of this word, take its power to move Americans against the real authoritarians, the real terrorists, and foist it off on swarthy people about whom they had not the first part of a clue. I suppose some people prefer now to call this battle lost, and have stopped using the term because the fascists have successfully coöpted the word, but I really think people capable of understanding the term in its fullness should take it upon themselves to educate the brain-poisoning victims amid the masses of infected cows out there.
Here are the fourteen points you should know by heart, or at least have handy.
Here's the wiki portal that takes you into the history of it, while neatly avoiding anything approximating clarity.

this cannot possibly be good news, can it?
[click image]On top of standing mute while Israel slaughters humans, he's going to give NASA to the Pentagon?????
But, really, if you can suggest to me how this might realistically be a good thing, please, please, do, because maybe I'm just too fucking depressed to see it without your help.
