THE TIME IS NOW
No more excuses. No more waaah we can't win because our o-line sucks. No more wah we can't win cause our coach hasn't had the chance to recruit the right players. No more "oh my god, we're beating a good team, here comes the fuck up." Do Georgia fans worry about their O-line being a bunch of freshmen? NO! They expect to win no matter what! Does Tennessee ever worry that their coach is an idiot? NO! Does Florida worry that their quaterback is gay? NO! Those guys expect to win.
The Cocks have all the depth they need to beat anybody. I don't want to hear any more of this crap. Not from myself or anybody. Just win the Damn Game! I don't care if Jasper Brinkley has to play in a wheelchair. I don't care if we are starting our 4th string token benchwarmer white runningback. Just win it DAMNIT!!!!!!!!! AND WIN THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's time for this football team to fulfill its destiny!

Shitty Star Wars fan documentary

I know you all could care less about a Star Wars fan documentary; I'm really posting this just for the following quote:

"I don’t believe in God, I don’t believe in any of the organized religions… But I believe in George Lucas. I believe in Star Wars. I believe in Spider-Man. I believe in Superman. Most of the other stuff, I think people made up because it makes them feel better.”

There's not enough bathroom humor in this blog; I seek to rectify the situation. Here's an excerpt from the article in the link:

"My colleagues backed away, with a look of abject horror and disgust as my two buttocks finally ceased their devilish applause causing my demolished rectum to finally recede into silence. I looked down. My trousers were bulging oddly, and I could see the carpet beneath my feet would require some serious work if it were ever to return to its previous, glorious blue."

I know that it sounds odd, but I'm having one right now (yes, it's before noon, but since there is a tropical storm on, I am playing by severe weather rules) and it isn't bad. I couldn't get my hands on a really nice stout, so I used Guinness. It's not bad, though a bit bitter. A Sammy Smith's Oatmeal Stout would likely make a fine milkshake.

Standing Wave/River Surfing

Eisbach, Munich, Germany. This is an aqueduct that is surfed, and apparently alot of people get hurt or drown here :(
Badass surfing though!







Waimea Beach, Hawaii.
The beach sits at the base of a valley which has a small stream running through it. Due to wave action, sand gets pushed up into a large hill in front of the stream each winter. This creates a natural dam that the stream water collects behind for months which is about 20 feet above the level of the ocean on the other side of the sand berm. Every year some one digs a trench through the sand releasing millions of gallons of fresh water into the ocean. This produces a standing wave which is perfect for body boarding and surfing on. When we first walked up these kids had just a trickle of water moving through a trench about a foot wide they had been digging for quite a while. Within 20 minutes it had turned into a roaring torrent. It was amazing to watch how fast it grew and ate away the banks. It all lasted about an hour before the water slowed down but it was fun watching the action.

Specter and Feingold talk FISA

CrooksandLiars has video of an exchange between Arlen Specter (R-Penn) and Russ Feingold on FISA. This is definitely worth a viewing. The real money-shot is when Specter asks how the Senate can vote on immunity when 70 members haven't been briefed on the program related to the immunization (and a majority of the members of the House are similarly ignorant). Bipartisanship at its best.

Also, Arlen Specter is looking pretty rough. I was shocked at his appearance. Apparently, his cancer has returned.

Mission Accomplished

In a 1998 interview, [Osama bin Laden] "claimed that the United States has carried out ‘the biggest theft in history’ by buying oil from Persian Gulf countries at low prices. According to bin Laden, a barrel of oil today should cost $144. Based on that calculation, he said, the Americans have stolen $36 trillion from Muslims…" (Associated Press, 9/28).

Obama responds to FISA critics

Barak Obama has issued a response to those criticizing his position on the new FISA bill, which can be read here.

A few points:

Obama claims that the exclusivity provision included in the new bill will prevent future abuses. But the FISA already had such a provision, as indicated in yesterday's ruling by Judge Vaughn Walker (a ruling that rejected the administration's claims that the President has the authority to violate FISA. Glenn Greenwald has more on this ruling). The key point is that FISA was already the exclusive means for conducting electronic surveillance, and Bush violated it. So this "new" provision is worth exactly dick. Obama is either clueless in this matter, or he is distorting the truth.


Obama writes: "As I've said many times, an independent monitor must watch the watchers to prevent abuses and to protect the civil liberties of the American people. This compromise law assures that the FISA court has that responsibility." But the FISA court, under the new bill, would not have the authority to evaluate individual cases. All the FISA court has the authority to do is to evaluate the overall program, and they are required to certify the program if they believe that it doesn't, for the most part, target the communications of American citizens. So to say that this bill empowers monitors to "prevent abuses and protect the civil liberties of the American people" is overselling it substantially. Assuming that Obama has read the thing, he must realize this.

He writes: "I'm persuaded that it is necessary to keep the American people safe -- particularly since certain electronic surveillance orders will begin to expire later this summer." These are, as Greenwald noted yesterday, orders that originated under the PAA, which Obama did not vote for, and thus, it stands to reason, didn't think were vital to national security. But Obama now claims that these surveillance orders are so vital that he will support "imperfect" legislation if that is required to keep them active.

Obama ends the letter with the following: "But I think it is worth pointing out that our agreement on the vast majority of issues that matter outweighs the differences we may have. After all, the choice in this election could not be clearer. Whether it is the economy, foreign policy, or the Supreme Court, my opponent has embraced the failed course of the last eight years, while I want to take this country in a new direction." Certainly the economy, foreign policy, and the Supreme Court are important issues. But do they outweigh issues such as the rule of law, respect for the Constitution, and the civil liberties of the American people? Should Obama supporters be willing to trade the latter for a President who (according to him) agrees with them on the former?

I am sure that most of Obama's supporters will not be influenced by his FISA decision. They will vote for him because they perceive McCain as a worse choice (which he may be). But this is not merely some pet issue with which he disagrees with a segment of his base. This is a question of holding lawbreakers responsible for their crimes, of discovering the extent of Bush's lawbreaking, of setting a precedent which causes future Presidents to think twice before violating the law, and of securing the rights that are supposed to distinguish the citizens of the United States from the rest of the world.

Update: Obama's fans are furiously masturbating to this letter over on The Huffington Post. The responses include "Not to worry, Sen. Obama, we are still with you and knew you had a plan", "Well, I really would have loved this explanation sooner, but better late than never... my friends and I will unleash the cash again", "Obama 's focus is protecting the people of this country first and foremost", "That said, Obamas [SIC] FISA vote doesn't do much to change my vote. Obama is still 100,000,000,000,000 times better than the competition." Pathetic swine. -JRH

Administration condoned Kurdish oil-deal despite official policy

Hunt Oil struck a deal with the Kurdish Regional Government despite the Administration's official stance. The State Department discouraged such dealings in an attempt to foster an Iraqi National Oil agreement which would hopefully help unite the regions of Iraq. Nevertheless, members of the Bush administration privately supported this move, going so for as to offer assistance if there was any trouble.

Ray L. Hunt, CEO Hunt Oil, is a major contributor to George W. Bush, and is a member of the latter's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.

The President said that he knew nothing of the deal.

Democrats Cave

The Steyn Hoyer FISA bill just passed the house 293-129. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it will be passed sometime next week, in all likelihood.

This is what we get for bringing the Democrats back into power in '06?

Update: Obama supports the House FISA bil, will vote for it even if the immunity provision remains.

Update II: The ACLU lists the salient points of the bill that your leaders have given you.

Stop FISA Compromise

House Democrats are in the process of forming a "compromise" FISA bill which would, in essence, give the proponents of Telecom Immunity exactly what they want. Read more about it here. A massive effort is underway to prevent this from happening; a grassroots movement, made up of progressive bloggers and their readers, the ACLU, and members of the Ron Paul Revolution, have joined forces and raised over $200,000 in two days.

If you have a few extra dollars to spare, click here. The funds will be used to run ads in the districts of the Democratic proponents of this bill: Rep. Hoyer (D-Md), Rep. Carney (D-Pa.), and Rep. Barrow (D-Ga).

Otherwise, do your part and give Sen. Obama a call and ask that he use his position as de-facto party head to quash this abomination. Ask that he voice his opposition to this and any other bill which provides immunity to the telecoms.

Despite the difficulty of such a task, Newsweek's Evan Thomas attempts to envision what a Robert Kennedy presidency might have looked like.

Telecom Immunity Update

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre (really, dude? -ed.) Reyes has claimed that he is willing to compromise with Republicans on telecom immunity, namely by allowing the secret FISA court to determine whether immunity ought to be granted. This is a similar proposal to the one offered by Diane Feinstein (D-CA) months ago, a proposal which, had it been accepted, would likely have made disclosure of the specifics of the surveillance program impossible.

As Digby notes, the 40 or so lawsuits against the the telecoms aren't that serious of a threat to the companies in terms of potential awards:

"There just isn't enough money at stake to explain this. Nobody's suing for the money, they are suing for the discovery. Something bad happened here and the Democrats are helping the Republicans cover it up."
