So that there DSCC spot about Brown and supporting Wall Street greed and yadda yadda yadda managed to go full retard.
Nice use of the WTC guys! Way to go!
Believe it or not, there was actually protest by the National Republican Senatorial Committee about it. The DSCC is all "oops sorry about that!" and is yanking the image from the ad.
For fuck's sake, Danny Glover would be smart enough to know not to use that particular imagery. B+ guys, solid B+.

For those that don't remember, the Amirault family was prosecuted for supposedly sexually abusing a number of children in the daycare which they ran. These were part of the repressed memory, Satanic ritual cases that blazed through the 1980's. There is overwhelming evidence that they never did any such thing.* The parole board unanimously recommended clemency which was denied.
Lobbying to keep an innocent man in jail is pretty much beyond the pale. It is not For The Children to do this.
I find these cases absolutely infuriating becasue they result in the destruction of numerous lives. There are children who have been brainwashed, and I do mean brainwashed, into believing that they were abused. So now these children have the trauma of believing that and then, for those who realize they were lied to about this, now have the trauma of realizing that they sent innocent people to jail. Then you have the innocent people who are in jail. The only ones who make out are the prosecutors.
Look, I'll be the first one to help hold down actual molesters while they're staked to fire ant hills and honey poured on them. But it's the false accusations, knowingly or not, that have lead to my being incredibly cautious about interacting with any child. There is no way in hell that I would ever volunteer to work with children. The risks are simply too great. I don't have the link to hand, but I remember reading articles recently about how volunteer organizations are having problems getting men to volunteer and part of the reasons are fear of false accusations. It's a reasonable fear.
I view this as yet another example of some on the Left's willingness to agitate for the freeing of actual killers while remaining silent on issues such as these. (Note: There are many on the Left who found what happened in this case appalling, specifically Katha Pollitt). I know that Coakley didn't prosecute this case. But she actively worked to keep a man in jail who should not be there. That's horrifying.
*Yes, there's a clown involved. Yes, I find that pretty amusing despite the serious nature of this.

He made a fool out of Jon Stewart, and got Stewart's lefty fanboys upset at him.
Enjoy the Schadenfreude, folks, especially this from Sully (no link)
(Yoo's) conservative defense of an executive branch with no limits to its powers at home or abroad is, well, as gob-smacking as it always has been. It is not, of course, a conservative argument at all. In its implications – in a war defined as unending and an executive defined as all-powerful – are proto-fascist: Jacksonianism with a waterboard.I came away from the exchange, wondering if Yoo just isn’t that smart, as well as shockingly ignorant of history, and morality. Maybe he was off his game.

I doubt Harry Reid had anything to do with this Facebook page, and it could be a satire page, but the fact that the "African Americans For Reid" listed at the time this post went up are mostly white is hilfuckinglarious.
Kinda like "Scuba Gear For Kennedy", "Waitresses For Dodd", or "Psychologists For Olbermann".

Voters: "Candygram."
In each of the three Reid-GOP matchups polled, for example, the senator would get only about one-quarter of the independent vote, according to the latest Mason-Dixon poll. The three potential Republican opponents would get more than half the independent voters' support if the race against Reid were held today: Lowden (59 percent), Tarkanian (56 percent) and Angle (53 percent).
Peplowski, the political science professor, said the independent voters will break in November for whichever political party or candidate makes the strongest case -- or they'll stay home. In the past couple of elections, non-partisan voters helped the Democrats win the White House and Congress, but now they've been disenchanted and are leaning more toward Republicans.
"The Republicans have got to move into the middle to get them to the polls," Peplowski said.
Brad Coker, the managing partner of Mason-Dixon, said the Republican primary race is wide open and ''any one of those three could come back on top'' with Tarkanian and Lowden neck and neck and Angle gaining a bit. He said it might come down to how much money the Republican contender is willing to spend, and both Tarkanian and Lowden have access to big bucks.
As for Reid's chances of re-election, Coker said the senator's negatives are so bad that he will have a tough time making a comeback and earning more than 40 percent of the vote come November.
Coker noted that Reid's fate is tied to the fate of the Democrats and President Barack Obama, which could be bad news since the Oval Office resident's popularity has been plunging. Obama's favorable rating dropped to 34 percent in the latest Mason-Dixon poll compared to 44 percent last month and 55 percent in May. His unfavorables climbed from 30 percent in May to 46 percent now.
"I think it all ties together because Reid is Washington and Obama is Washington," Coker said in an interview. "Right now, you've got a three-headed Democratic monster between (House Speaker Nancy) Pelosi, Reid and Obama. And Pelosi has never been popular nationally. And Reid has become progressively or steadily less popular."
Republicans are licking their chops at the idea of Reid taking a fall.
Brian Walsh of the National Republican Senatorial Committee wondered after Dodd bowed out whether the White House would push Reid to ''consider an early retirement instead of facing a forced retirement in November."
Oh, and here is a pictorial representation of what awaits Harry Reid.
*****LIFE SAVING AND GOAT LOVING UPDATE!!1!!*****
Looks like Harry may have uttered another foolishism.

Obviously, they fail to recall that time. I guess all of that evil went away at Noon on 1-20-09. In that case, this has to be an aberration.
Too bad the GOP and RNC are clueless assfisters to capitalize on this stuff.

Okay. As the Guardian reports, the proposed full-body scanners are in violation of UK child porn laws because you can see the naughty bits of young'uns, and that's bad. Now, earlier today, my husband was reading through a friend's Facebook postings, and came across what may actually be the Best Conspiracy Theory Evah.
Stay with me.
Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, better known to us Morons as the crotch bomber, was not an Islamic jihadist. In fact, Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab is a tool of the United States government. See, the government wants to introduce full body scanners, for various reasons including the employment of pedophiles and perverts to allow them a "safe" way to get their jollies off by working for the TSA. The best way to make this happen, according to the collective brilliance of the government, was to make something happen that would lead to a public outcry demanding the introduction of full body scanners.
As such, the croch bomber was allowed on that plane with explosive panties. They knew that the bomb would fail to detonate, but that the public's reaction would give them a reason to start the call for full body scanners.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we get perverts jobs in the government.

Fuck you. Fuck you with a corncob pipe and a buttonfuckingnose soaked in high fructose corn syrup. Fuck you for being this big of a jerk after the fucking fact that you fucking took a fucking bribe to secure your fucking vote on Obamacare.
“I would have preferred not to be dealing with health care in the midst of everything else, and I think working on the economy would have been a wiser move,†he said. {oh. Now you fucking tell us-ed}
Nelson also said the legislation wasn’t as rushed as people might think, having been in the works for almost a year {but the vote was-ed}. But he explained that setting deadlines is often what prompts governments to action {that and the prospect of getting hammered with a trek mix bar by the electorate will help as well-ed}.
“One thing I’ve found in Congress is that if there is no urgency, things don’t get done. Leadership always has an urgency,†he said. “Deadlines and crises are the very nature of how legislation passes {and those pieces of legislation are always the ones that suck most of our money out of our wallet and are poorly crafted by people who don't even READ THE FUCKING BILLS FOR WHICH THEY VOTE-ed}.
“In this case, it was so public for so long, with all the anger and all the town hall meetings and all the coverage that this kept getting, that’s why I think everybody’s felt rushed, because they set a number of different deadlines and didn’t meet them {no, asshole. The people were saying, "Don't fucking pass this mothrafucking bill."-ed}. I think it was unwise in retrospect,†he said {yeah, after you found out you would lose worse than the Patriots did to the '85 Bears in Super Bowl XX-ed}
Nelson said by insisting on certain changes before casting his vote he “took a bad bill and made it better.†{oh, so it went from being dissected without painkillers to merely with painkilers? THANKS, SENATOR!-ed} He pointed out aspects of the Senate’s bill he said will benefit Nebraska, and called the “Cornhusker Kickback†a “sideshow†that’s gotten too much attention {yeah, because people get a bit pissed when a bazillion dollars are stolen from us and sent to ONE FUCKING STATE. How dare we!-ed}
Nelson said the two keys to securing his vote to advance the bill were eliminating the so called public option and not allowing federal funds to pay for abortions {we'll see about that one-ed}. He called those provisions “deal breakers,†and believes he accomplished them {yeah, and a wad of cash. But that isn't mentioned-ed}.
The Senate bill “supports the private market 100 percent,†Nelson said. “There is no federal government insurance involved in this whatsoever.†{oh, fuck you! Funnel fusking fuck you for thinking we are stupid enough to believe that shit-ed}
Holy fucking a gorilla with an AIDS infected whale dick! What the fuck is this shit? Are you that fucking stupid, Senator? Are you so fucking stupid as to think that the people of your fucking state will accept the line of goatse drippings you are trying to sell back home? Are you fucking serious? I guess the fact that you are trailing the electoral equivalent of a bag of corn feed by 30 FUCKING POINTS didn't impact your statements, did it? Hell, at this point BARRY FUCKING SWITZER AND THE BOOMER FUCKING SOONER WAGON could win in Nebraska against you right about now. But that is just coincidental to you making these statements, right?
Oh well, keep fucking that chicken, Senator. Keep thinking the people will buy your shit. And fuck the people of Nebraska if they buy this crap.

What. The. Fuck? (Safe link to Vodkapundit)
My own view is moving toward supporting a direct American military imposition of a two-state solution, with NATO troops on the borders of the new states of Palestine and Israel.
I see Sully missed his medication today. Jeebus Fuck The Goatse With The Dicklickers Of Dementia, this is so fucked up that "Fucked Up" called to say it's too fucked up.

This idiot has no basic idea of how business, capitalism, or any of that sort of stuff really works.
Rep. Betty Sutton (D-Ohio), the author of the legislation in the House authorizing the program, introduced a resolution on Wednesday calling on President Barack Obama's trade representative to open a case against Japan at the World Trade Organization (WTO) for its own 'Clunker'-like program.
At issue, Sutton said, was the Japanese program's refusal to subsidize trade-ins for American-built vehicles, only cards made in Japan. The U.S. program had fewer restrictions on how consumers could use subsidies to purchase new, fuel-efficient cars.
Yeah, this should end well.
Thanks to Alice

Will the 2012 GOP Presidential candidate run this video?
I've got to say, that's slick. I would assume the overwhelming majority of people either wouldn't notice or would just assume that there was some new tax or some other fee and that's why the check was a few bucks lighter.
Dammit, now I'm going to have to do math and figure out if my exemptions are right. I'll be damned if I'm giving the Feds an interest free loan.

Colorado's supreme failure of a governor, Bill Ritter, may be announcing tomorrow that he is stepping out of the 2010 governor's race. I'll be very curious to know whether he's stepping down due to his personal realization of his gross incompetence, or whether the Democratic leadership is making him another casualty in the "Let's have a bright shiny new party in 2010 because we've smeared dogshit all over this one" strategy.

Not to single Sean out too much, but he's the only one I know who officially lives in California. UCSD can go fuck itself, and so can these assholes who have a brilliant new plan for helping illegal aliens make their way into the US using (you guessed it!) government funding.
Yep. Spending government money to help people break the law to get in to our country.
more...Faculty at University of California, San Diego are developing a GPS-enabled cell phone that tells dehydrated migrants where to find water and pipes in poetry from phone speakers, regaling them on their journey much like Emma Lazarus' words did a century ago to the "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" on Ellis Island.
The Transborder Immigrant Tool is part technology endeavor, part art project. It introduces a high-tech twist to an old debate about how far activists can go to prevent migrants from dying on the border without breaking the law.
Immigration hardliners argue the activists are aiding illegal entry to the United States, a felony. Even migrants and their sympathizers question whether the device will make the treacherous journeys easier.
The designers — three visual artists on UCSD's faculty and an English professor at the University of Michigan — are undeterred as they criticize a U.S. policy they say embraces illegal immigrants for cheap labor while letting them die crossing the border.
"It's about giving water to somebody who's dying in the desert of dehydration," said Micha Cardenas, 32, a UCSD lecturer.
The effort is being done on the government's dime — an irony not lost on the designers whose salaries are paid by the state of California.
"There are many, many areas in which every American would say I don't like the way my tax dollars are being spent. Our answer to that is an in-your-face, so what?" says UCSD lecturer Brett Stalbaum, 33, a self-described news junkie who likens his role to chief technology officer.
