Just now getting over my rage over Bush’s insulting pandering last week before the Israeli Knesset, implying Obama would have shared a latte with Hitler if given the chance. The Chimp in Chief is no stranger to mind numbing gratuitous cheap shots but he out did himself last week with his appeassment remarks, delivered before an audience of Israelis no more than a generation removed from Hitler’s gas chambers. Why not go to Decatur, Mississippi and tell an audience of blacks that “some” among us (wink, wink, nod, nod) would have negotiated with Byron de la Beckwith? McCain couldn’t resist twisting the knife, of course, with his cowardly follow-up remarks that Obama had some explaining to do. Jesus I’m sick of this wretched crowd of fear mongering con artists, but even more nauseating is the knowledge that there exists out there a swarm of testosterone challenged simpletons who willingly lap up that swill. Let’s hope the nation eventually recovers from this awful chapter and the great Bovinus Americanus eventually pokes its nose out of the toxic swamp of fear, superstition, greed, and hatred. Otherwise draining the swamp is the only, shall we say “ultimate”, solution.

Check this out www.exposeobama.com . Tell me none of this crap on this guy’s website isn’t racially motivated. Also, for more, check out www.conservapedia.com and look up Barack Obama. Dude, how can these Cons live with themselves knowing that they actually put this shit out there? As if someone can just pass through all the checkpoints in life without actual merit because of affirmative action. This is what we are dealing with.
And these idiots still bring up his faith. Look, if you bring up the Rev. Wright thing, you cannot bring up the Muslim thing and vice versa because one cancels out the other. Only one can be the truth and if Obama can be linked to Wright, that makes him a Christian. He can’t be some sort of religious double agent that is whatever you say when it suits your need to fearmonger. And what is it we have to fear with Obama as president? A concerted effort to bring about change and peace. What a peacemonger.
Oh and he’s gonna raise taxes. You know what, so will John McCain..only he won’t raise taxes to make the disparity between the wealthy and the middle class disappear. He will only make the chasm bigger by taxing the proletariat even more. After all, someone has to pay for this war and we can’t expect the nation’s “elite” to foot the bill.

I forgot to say in my raising taxes thing that Obama will raise taxes because he has no choice but to do so. I wasn’t complaining about it since it won’t be a hike that effects me in the prole….hopefully.

From the ever useful Abu Muquwama milblog…….
On Not Talking With Syria
Oh man. Poor Condoleezza Rice. Her honest-to-God worst fear was that our hardline stance on Syria was going to leave us looking stupid because, in the end, we would be the only ones not talking with Syria. She warned the Israelis time and time again not to talk with the Syrian regime. And yet, as the BBC reports today:
Israel says it is holding indirect talks with Syria to reach a comprehensive peace agreement.
A statement by the Israeli prime minister’s office said both sides were talking “in good faith and openly”.
This has happened before, of course. The U.S. ended up being the last people to meet with the PLO, too, and was embarrassed to discover that Israel — on whose behalf we weren’t meeting with the PLO — was secretly meeting with, ahem, the PLO. Abu Muqawama would hate to be Tzipi Livni when she gets that call from Condi. (”You %$#@ed us! Again!”) And what must the president be thinking? It was just last week that he stood in the Knesset and made that bold speech about not dealing with radicals or some such. How many members of the audience were, at that very moment, engaged in talks with the Asad regime as they stood and applauded the president’s words?
Update: David Hearst has an invaluable “explainer” in the Guardian.

“My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East.”
John McCain.
So the Lefties have been right all along? Oil was the reason for sending our troops to fight in Iraq?
Thanks to John McCain for making that definite.

Stacy, Great piece, It’s the reason Iv’e listened to you for so long. (Short and to the point). Viewing the second part of P.B.S.’s series “American Presidents” F.D.R,I came away with the feeling of what a great loss our country has had from the last eight years of the most distructive President in our history. The swamp has to be drained, flushed and dry cleaned. In listening to Obama’s speach last night, I realized I was listening to a reincarnation of the F.D.R of the 30’s a man who had the interests of the average human being in this country and in the world. With eight years of no hope and now the prospect of sunshine makes me ready for some more letdown, but I’m ready this time. In seeing the results of these last primaries I’m struck as to how radical the thought prosesses are from one coast to the other and the stupidity and superstitious rituals they perform in order to get through their day and talk about bigotry alive and well.

You are going to get the same shock I got in 1972 when McGovern lost in a landslide to Nixon. The Repugs are willing do do and say ANYTHING and Obama is going to be an easy target. Why do you think the right wing radio hosts have been so easy on him (up to now) and so hard on clinton?
Hillary could have won the general election. Unless there is some miracle (Ron Paul as a third party candidate?) We are doomed to four more years of the same.

If you Google the terms “John McCain” and “torture” you will find internet articles that show McCain was an appeaser when it can to Bush’s White House on torture.
Today in the Union Tribune page A3 via the Washington Post prints story “Agents objected to interrogation abuse, audit says”. “…Nearly half of the 450 FBI agents who worked at Guantanomo reported that they had observed or heard about military interrogators using a variety of harsh interrogaion techniques…”
McCain in the Appeaser.
Comment by Larry Koons — Wednesday, May 21, 2008 @ 3:47 pm
Oh but you don’t get it Stacy. Barack HUSEIN Obama is actually a Muslim terrorist who hates America and wants to bake cookies with Hamas and Iran! Or at least that’s what Fox News and the right wing Troglodite brigade has been screaming like a broken record for weeks now. Seriously though if Maco wants to join forces with 43 the Worst and try to tag team Obama on this issue then have at it. This whole cowboy foreign policy crap is something that dates back to all of seven years ago and in the eyes of most Americans is a complete disaster, a fact that over four thousand families will testify to I’m sure. Even Reagan and Nixon talked to our enemies, any junior high level history book will confirm that. The real question is how informed is the average voter and will they see the common friggin’ sense that Obama brings or will they pull the lever for John “Let’s bomb everybody back to the Jurasic Period” McCain? It’s up to a nation ranging from the read and well informed to the drooling and knuckle draging dumbasses to decide…
Comment by Justin — Wednesday, May 21, 2008 @ 3:48 pm
With all due respect, Virginia M., Mrs. Clinton would have had just a hard a time of winning as Obama will. She is an intelligent, tough and well-meaning person, but her baggage is far heavier than Obama’s. Furthermore, I really don’t think Americans want another Clinton and certainly not another Bush in the White House.
Until every single complacent American gets off his or her rear end and votes, the Republicans will have an edge in presidential elections. Turnout must be ultra-strong, as that will mean Obama will really have a shot — and if he wins by a large-enough margin, the GOP will not be able to steal the election, as it has in the past.

Comment by Vriendje — Wednesday, May 21, 2008 @ 3:54 pm
I was just perusing the information that is out there in regards to Hill-dog’s claim that if we were going on the popular vote (if you include Fla and Michigan) she would win. You can’t count Mich…we all know that. But, I think maybe, they should seat the Florida delegates. Is she acting like she deserves all those Fla delegates? I hope not. She got 50% of the vote there. Obama got 32%. If they seated those delegates and split the John Edwards dels. then the gap gets closer, but she doesn’t exactly win.
I just gotta say the one discouraging thing about the Fla primary is that only 1.7 million democrats voted in it. This number is either a harbinger of how the Blue/Red split in Fla is or maybe folks out that way knew their vote wouldn’t count for shit so they didn’t vote. In California, 4.7 Million voted in the dem primary.
In any event, lets seat the delegates according to that primary’s vote went. Michigan should just hold a special election to settle this.
Comment by BigJ — Thursday, May 22, 2008 @ 7:39 am
Vriendje, Virginia is right. Hillary’s baggage is out there and has been for a long time. There is nothing new to use against her. However, a lot of Barack’s baggage is new and swift-boatable. How about Farrakhan, Tony Rezco and the Reverend Wright? The repugs will use all of it and Grandpa Munster-McCain will become our president. I hope I’m wrong.

the attempted coup de etat mentioned in her piece is an astounding and well buried piece of US history. About the only serious account of the atentat is “Smedley Butler and the Plot to Sieze the WH”, Jules Archer. Thom Hartmann (from 1340 days)has an interview with him in his archives. Many of the players in to attempted coup went on to trade with the Nazi’s.
The fascist model they selected was based on the French “Blue Arrows” (IIRC) the American Legion was created to provide the bully boys. Not only were they Fascists, they liked FRENCH STUFF. EEwwww.
An echo of that in todays (very service oriented & hard working) Legion is you swear loyalty to the President, rather than Constitution. Which is why I didnt go thru with joining: read the oath. that was a few decades ago….
Maj gen. Butler SMASHED coup plotters. Congress, then as now, turned its back and avoided its duty. Campaign contributors, drinkin buddies, business partners…..you know the truth of it. . Great stuff…….
GIMMIES!
When do we get our Official Stacy Taylor Turbo Bumper Stickers?? I know, the programme budget is so minescule that Leading Comrade Engineer Jorge has had to use HIS OWN shoelaces to fabricate emergency wicks for the pilot lights on the stations kerosene powered transmitter.

And Im sad to report the Design Committee for the Official Stacy Taylor Foil Lined Propellar Beanie is hopelessly deadlocked, with Tim from Normal Hieghts demanding ENTIRELY too much chiffon……but surely a bumpersticker?

Comment by knifemaster — Thursday, May 22, 2008 @ 10:40 am
The fact that Hillary’s still out there fighting for Florida & Michigan voters should earn her some numbers. Barack Obama seemed to have forgotten about those states until just yesterday. I’m not giving up on Hillary yet.
Comment by Lorelei — Thursday, May 22, 2008 @ 1:36 pm
Lorelei: Sorry, but I do not agree with you. It doesn’t matter how long her baggage “has been out there” — the right-wing loony tune base will show up en masse to vote against her (and by fiat, Bill C). Yes, Obama has his problems, but Clinton would not fare any better.
Unfortunately, the only Demo. who would have handily beaten McCain is John Edwards, and he flamed out early. Let’s pray the turnout is so strong the GOP cannot steal another election.
Comment by Vriendje — Thursday, May 22, 2008 @ 3:53 pm
“What she’s doing is not securing her the nomination. Rather, she’s gunning up a lot of her supporters to believe that the nomination was stolen from her — a belief many won’t soon abandon. And that on the basis of rationales and arguments there’s every reason to think she doesn’t even believe in.”

Cynics Unite! And Realize Your Greatness.
I may to be proud to be cynical; but, I am content that cynicism is part of my outlook. I have no problem having the vice of a vicious “dog”, as the word ‘cynic’ once meant “canine”.
Anyone who can both breathe and actually think would see that Americans are, on average, not just grist for the recycling mill of degeneration—they are enormously stupid given that this culture is so economically affluent.
But I also seek wisdom for balance. As it is mankind’s lot to confront and fight evil—as he or she defines it. Pacifism is for those “armpits” that cannot find the imagination to think that good can win over evil. Nihilistic determinism is for those that think they are merely pawns. Whereas even the existentialists have concluded that you are, to some extent, the master of your own fate.
Whereas, on the subject of how Stacy Taylor thinks, the fact is that he does, and he does so quite well. Perhaps the world would not be better off if everyone thought like him—but I can imagine a society that the average awareness quota could be more than a bit higher. It is not impossible—even with smugness of Americans.

Comment by Diogenes — Thursday, May 22, 2008 @ 4:27 pm
To the guy who called in and claimed both the left and the right are equally deluded and that the world will invariably fall apart.
The word is “fatalistic”. When you think that things are predestined and there is nothing you can do about it-—then you are a fatalist. The idea goes back to the ancient fates sisters stringing people along.
Whereas if you believe in Karma then you believe that you have some control over your destiny.
Granted things are bleak in several categories of reality and it also seems that we Americans are in for more shock therapy. An interesting statement was in the U-T wrap column by Thomas Friedman today: “…There has been much debate about which of our enemies the next U.S President should talk to. The real story … is how few countires are waiting around for a call…”
Attitude may not be everything-—still it is something. Something more than chicken shit name calling and the belligerence of empty threats.

Thanks mutt for the Custer crack (we have a Custer line in my family, could it be genetic?) and Vriendje. Florida and Michigan violated democratic party rules by moving up the primaries. Of course, the democratic party has had to make up the rules as they go in every other state, so, why won’t they do the same for those two states, and why is Hillary at fault here?
On KPBS this a.m. on my way to work, it was reported that Blackwater is givng the City of San Diego until the end of today to allow them to go ahead with their new training facility in Otay Mesa. Maybe there’s something I missed, but why does Blackwater have the power to tell the city what to do? Also, it is rumored that the county is revising it’s plans to change noise levels all. Could Blackwater be angling for Potrero again? The timing is more than a little coincidental.

This is REALLY bad news. I dont remember anything like it when I was in:

As for our Hillary Chorus: theres a vast number of Repubs who wont vote AT ALL unless Clinton runs…..theyll turn out in droves to keep from having her in the WH for four years.
How many MORE will turn out to keep her out of SCOTUS for 30?
For some reason metro NY wants her as a Senator, fine, she’s one of a hundred.
One of nine? the horror…………
Oh, yeah, Stacy- you opened up with a killer monologue yesterday, & no phones rang…..maybe cuz you wrapped it up so well. I really couldnt think of anything to add…..I mean, the role of the caller is to make the host look good, & I couldnt dump any more gilding on that lilly.
maybe you do too good a job, articulatin what a lot of us think.
Back when I was a prolific “letter to the editor” writer, I got to putting things in my submissions I KNEW would draw the blue pencil. They were itchin to use it, so I tossed them some things to cross out.
Your monologue had no sacrificial thoughts to pounce upon & eviscerate, & comity is boring…..you aint the kinda guy whose interested in callers tellin you how smart you are.
Sounds like a classic Catch 22…….

Former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson is overseeing the early vetting of possible vice presidential running mates for Obama, Democratic officials say. He did the same job for Democratic nominees John Kerry in 2004 and Walter Mondale in 1984.
We know how well that worked out!
Comment by virginiaM — Friday, May 23, 2008 @ 1:46 pm
Stacy:
I was downtown today around noon and noticed a crowd leaving the outside court of the city center. There was a Ron Paul rally, He gave a speech and was signing his book. I was “amazed” at how many young people were there—especially for the apathetic city for San Diego!
There is a sleeping giant awaking. Young people are unpicked hanging fruit. I’ve been to some political educational events in San Diego and never have I seen such a high ratio of young people. I think it is a phenomenon.
And the Democratic party, that is the part driven from the bottom up (id est the Obama team) ought pay attention. I think they need to start steering toward some of Paul’s platform. In fact they ought give consider for Ron Paul as a vice presidential running mate.
Understand that I as an independent do not agree with all the positions of any political party. But I have studied Ron Paul enough to realize that his ship is generally heading on the right directional tack. He is clearly resonating with young people and they are getting an education about what our Constitution used to mean. When the young finally hear somebody in which they are mobilized then you know something is happening worth noting.
I believe that one of the reasons why some people did not feel comfortable about young people playing Babylon at Pacific Beach and their hedonistic beer guzzling is because just north lays one of the biggest marine camps that has been sending their recruits for the third time to Iraq. Meanwhile just south the city’s youth were acting completely oblivious to the war’s reality. It made San Diego’s youth look crass.
However it now seems obvious that young have been waiting for someone to come along to speak seriously about serious issues in a serious way.
Further I hear that the rallies for saving Air America in San Diego had an average age of people over 50s and 60s. It was in fact the older hippies. Air America did not attract the younger crowd—and it took you months to really address their issue of drinking on the beach—which 1630 could have capitalized by passing flyers.
Therefore I suggest people consider taking a longer look at what Paul’s campaign is saying—that is if it is true that people fatigued with hearing about Obama and Hilary.
Just a suggestion.

There was not a peep aout Ron Paul speaking in the Union-Tribune that I noticed?
I thought one of the qualifications to be consider in a professional career was to belong to a professional association that includes creating lists of ethical standards on which such professional agree to abide?
It seems that both the majar editorial and journalist association have ethical standards that include “fairness” as one of their principles? The U.S. does not need a so called fairness doctrine as much as it needs professional journalists and professional editors.
It is a serious matter to a nation and a purported democracy when the major information infrastructure has conspired to censor voices that certain power elites choose our greater republic not hear.
Yet what was relevant is the number of people who apparently attended despite the mainstream media blackout.

Both hosts in doing so managed to bring up the awful and divisive Clinton administration. Is there gonna be a day when these folks realize that maybe they have been wrong all along? That the very things they stand for might be the very things that are bringing this country down? I have no faith in common sense anymore. Not since the outing of Rachel Ray as being Mujahadeen.

Hi Virginia, I still don’t know for sure, but I should find out something on June 15 and then they are required to give me 30 days notice (thank you to the union). Of course they’ve said that every month since March. It’s kind of unnerving. The recall of the teachers’ pink slips doesn’t apply to me since I work at SDSU.

Stacy, I’d like to say something about Vickie Butcher. I’ve been holding my tongue for a week now, but every time I hear someone say that she’s a “nice lady” on the show I get a little tweaked. She has been leading a smear campaign about Mike Lumpkin and other Democratic leaders in the county since she jumped into the race.
1. At the La Mesa-Foothills Democratic Club, the endorsement questionnaire asked her if she would use union printers for her signage, mailers, etc. She answered yes, she would. But instead, she has chosen to use a fake union bug, so it appears as though she’s used a union printer.
2. She’s smearing Mike Lumpkin by accusing him of being a republican. Now think about this, if he were a republican, he would have a much easier chance of being elected in our district.
3. She has claimed several endorsements that weren’t true by Marti Emerald, Christine Kehoe, etc.
4. She and a staffer were overhead calling the people of East County “trailer park people,” when she didn’t win the endorsement of the East County Democratic Club and then she refused to apologize. I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be represented by someone who thinks we’re all trash.
5. She called the president of the La Mesa-Foothills Democratic Club racist in a room full of people at a Central Committee meeting.
These are just a few of the things, and while they’re not really a huge deal, they show she’s not quite as honest and ethical as she would want us to believe. I actually had high hopes for her at one time, but it’s time to let the voters know how she really is, especially with the election coming up on Tuesday.

The times are a changing. When the editorial section of the fish wrap swings you know something is up. First Steve Breen created an entire new wing for the Library of Congress for books by disgrunted Bush staffers–hey that is a big library! Secondly underneath his cartoon is Georgy Will saying in his “Eroding the separation of powers” : paragragraphs 2: “…Legislatuors overestended by incontinent involvement in everything, and preocccupied with re-election, do more delegating than legislating … (interesting take from a somewhat flipflopper).
Basically the winds suggest that the vote is in–on the current state of affairs–irrespective of who gets elected. And somehow even dimwitted Americans realize that things are a bit dire.

BTW, Lorelei- that was a well written piece re: Butcher. Being white trash & proud of it, Im glad she dosnt lump us in w/ urban “progressives”….but I find the most- or rather, only seriously disturbing statement the one saying she put bogus union bugs on her various campaign lit. Can you offer some corroboration on that? Im not doubting you, its just a pretty serious thing to state, & some sort of backup would help here.
If its true, I take back my “she’s a nice lady” line.
If true, it would show a certain contempt for peoples intelligence.
And I wrote a funny crit to Dunkn Donuts, & I wont buy thier ghastly offerings. And now I know who Rachel ray is. And Im lookin for a kaffeyah for a bike scarf. Used to wear them all the time riding back when. Various political tendencies have thier own colors; Fateh is b&w, PFLP (like fateh, secular) red & white…..
Dont know if I can get to the Enough rally tommorrow, I sorta (in a wierd way) enjoy it, Im just pretty busy…..
And what scandal will our Nitwitless News Team uncover next? Counterfiet union bugs on campaign lit? A chance to be racist AND sexist??
Since we are deluged with bogus innuendo disguised as news, I was glad to listen to Stacy’s deconstruction of the Great Pony Ride scandal of 08. more such journo dropouts should pay a price for doing crap like that, while the goddam town is burning down…..jeez. Fox News is missing an idiot, it seems…..

Hey mutt, what kind of computer help do you need? I’ll ask Stacy to forward you my e-mail address.
Also, about that union bug, yeah I have some of her campaign materials somewhere with the bug for the internet singers, actors and artists guild that she is trying to pass off as a union bug. I’ll try to figure out a way to get it to you, but I’m leaving town for a few days and I won’t be back until Monday, June 9. Would you like something from Graceland?
