do gonads really make smart people this stupid?

Apart from how obvious it is that many powerful people would be disposed to discrediting him, to frame him or entrap him to discredit him, this is very hard to believe... any way you look at it. If he did it, it's unbelievable after all the shit he went through on this account a few years ago, and if he didn't do it, it's unbelievable after all the work we've done to get a power structure in place that wouldn't do this filthy stuff. The existence of so many unreconstructable horndogs makes this—again, any way you look at it—possible at all.

If you haven't yet, be sure to catch Moyers from last night. Unfortunately I only saw the first 20 minutes or so, but it was good!

Well, I was non compos mentis yesterday and trying to make up for it a little now that I have had some sleep.

It is indeed horrifically sad, from every angle... any damn way you slice it... even setting aside the question of if he is innocent or guilty.... I guess it is possible that he might have actually been stupid enough to seek this kind of pervy release online and fallen prey to the generic truism that any underage sex partner to be found online is a cop, and not some concerted effort to bring him down, shut him up, but by now it seems too much like that is what is going on. That is even worse than somebody getting their freak on in front of teenyboppers....

And, yes, I'm going to do Moyers when I'm caught up more from my muddle and distraction from yesterday.

Thomas Frank is the part I saw. Excellent.

I'm trying to watch the rest, but my connection is so poor it just keeps stopping evry 20 seconds. Fuck!

I need to go and clean the terminals outside the house. I tightened them a couple of weeks ago and it helped a lot then, but it's degrade to near uselessness again.

Yeah, but is this a setup to discredit Scott Ritter? It's always sex when they setup someone. See: Eliot Spitzer, Bill Clinton, etc...

I've never in my life lowered myself to competing in circumlocution with a woman.
—Viktor Yanukovych

Women really are the other half of the sky.
—John Lennon

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
—John F. Kennedy

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
—not uttered by anyone in charge lately

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
—Michael Parenti
