    another crappy week in crapistan

    Sorry for the lack of posts — L. came down with something like the plague and has been coughing up bits of lung for about 5 days now, and yesterday woke up looking like he’d developed full-blown mumps overnight (either his lymph nodes are having a hard time with the virus or it’s a secondary bacterial infection). So, off to the urgent care and [...]



    so hamas would be justified in assassinating israel’s top scientists?

    Another example of Israeli exceptionalism:

    Israel is assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists as part of its efforts to disrupt the Islamist regime’s illicit weapons program, the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday quoted Western intelligence sources as saying.

    The paper also quoted United States intelligence sources as saying Israel is using sabotage, front companies and double agents to disrupt the Islamist republic’s illicit weapons program as an alternative to direct [...]



    Columbian Endorses Carrier, Probst and Wallace

    David Carrier

    Tim Probst

    Deb Wallace

    The Columbian has an accurate and strong endorsement for all three Democrats running for the State Legislature in the 17th Legislative District in Clark County.  As a former Chair of the 17th District Democrats and someone who knows all three endorsees, it is quite surprising to see a newspaper that endorsed George Bush in 2004 see the light and [...]



    Hahahaha – Good One!

    Below is a fundraising appeal from Representative Baird:

    Dear John,

    The Primary election of last month brought good news and new challenges.

    The good news is that with your help we prevailed in the primary in the 3rd Congressional District with a majority vote in a field of four candidates. I am grateful for that result and for your support in making it possible.

    Our new [...]



    Wexler – Help Me Impeach

    Dear xxxx,

    I need your help:

    My strong and vocal stands in favor of impeaching President Bush and Vice President Cheney have made me a target.  I am now under siege by the right wing, who are working hard to defeat me and silence the causes that we believe in.

    In the eyes of the right wing, I am seen, along with Rep. Kucinich, as one of [...]



    Use a leash to protect your dog or else

    There is a letter to the editor in the Columbian this morning that deserves some clarification and further discussion. The letter is entitled, “Obey law and use a leash” and concerns leashing your dog:

    While walking along the busy river walk by Interstate 5 Bridge, I saw three dogs being walked by their owners, and none were on leashes. All were [...]



    just another bad apple

    Move along folks, nothing to see here:

    BAGHDAD (AFP) — The US military said on Friday it was probing complaints that marines handed out coins inscribed with a verse from the Bible to a group of Sunni Muslims in Iraq, sparking outrage among local residents.

    It said a marine involved in the incident in the former flashpoint city of Fallujah west of Baghdad was removed from his [...]



    good for us

    Washington held its Legislative District caucuses on Saturday, where delegates to the national convention were chosen.*

    One of those chosen to be an Obama delegate to the national convention is a former army chaplain who was royally fucked by BushCo:

    Former Capt. James J. Yee, a Muslim, was among the delegates pledged to Sen. Barack Obama who were elected by precinct representatives Saturday. He’s representing the state’s [...]
