This clown sent a letter to the IRS daring them to do anything to him. That is the same thing Wesley Snipes did, though the nature of the challenge is rather different. Now the feds are determining which correctional center they will slot Snipes into.
Martha Stewart tried lying to the feds about some stock sales she made and she also was treated to a stay at the gray bar hotel. Now she can't enter Britain because of her conviction. That's freaking hilarious!
Obama raised $21.9 million in May. McCain? Not so much. Is he really going to accept public financing for his campaign? It could be that the problem is because McCain hasn't been able to make up his mind as to what to do about our energy crisis. In fact, the Gropenfuhrer, Arnold Schwarzenegger, just dissed McCain's rationale for coastal drilling. The rejection of public funding will not hurt Obama.
McCain may name Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty (yeah, I know, who?) as his VP. But he isn't exactly going to energize the GOP base that is unhappy with the Republican top of the ticket.
Also, did McCain lie to either Hispanic leaders or Republican anti-immigration activists? Or both?
McCain can't finesse this number: 500 Californians dead in the Iraq War. Stay the course is not going to work there.
You might also be able to kiss another Republican blowhard off soon. Red Sox righthander Curt Schilling is going to have possible career ending shoulder surgery. Schilling was a major stud on the hill, but also a colossal asshole off of it. He once told Sports Illustrated that he hated it that pllayers were using steroids and then when a Congressional committee asked him about it, he ballessly demurred.
Some of you religious fucks are scary.
Republicans admit that new Orange County, CA sheriff is qualified for her job, but they are grousing about her selection anyway.
Firefox 3.0 tally to date: 14 million and counting.
You want something that will piss you off? You know that U.S. consumers are paying 3-4 times what the Japanese and the Koreans are for broadband access even though theirs is faster? That's what happens when you have a lack of competition ina given sector.
Pro Gay marriage folks in California are now pressing the courts there to head off a bigoted voter initiatve. I hope it succeeds.
Meanwhile, religious nuts refuse to do their taxpayer funded jobs when it comes to the same sex marriage issue.
Idiot of the day right here.
Also mentallly underpowered are those who got sucked into the "clean coal" hoax.
If you've ever seen the tv series Futurama, there was a joke in one of the episodes that went, "its some kind of hollow tube, devoid of human life. Gasp. The Los Angeles Subway." Well, that isn't true now with sky high gas prices. Check it out.
Two Republican sex predators (yes, their dad is connected to the party) just got out in the OC. So watch out for 'em.
I don't understand how you can use your employer's network and yet demand that they have to respect your privacy when you do. But a California court said that an employee has to give permission before your boss can see your correspondence on the job. This is absurd.
UCLA's hospital has been doing transplants on Japanese gangsters. I'm not kidding. This is fucking outrageous.
In the "It's About Time" file is this.
You may remember that Democratic congresswoman who had her home foreclosed recently. She was also in arrears of her property taxes. Now the state has taken the home away from the new buyer without compensation and given it back to her even though he had already begun renovating the place. Outrageous.

More Missteps for McCain; Huffington Post Remembers Russert With Censorship
Talk about too little too late. The feds conducted massive arrests on many of the scam artists that helped make the current mortgage crisis possible. I wonder how many of the Bush will pardon. In any event, this should have happened years ago, but the Chimperor's see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil approach prevented that from happening.
One enabler for the dire state of housing these days is Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who has done a 180 and now wants new federal powers to regulate Wall Street. Another tacit rebuke of neocon-onomics.
Then there is this disturbing little freudian slip by GOP congressman Mark Kirk.
The Republicans are missing their fundraising targets by a big margin because of the dissatisfaction with McCain and Bush and now, unlike past campaigns, the Democrats will enjoy up to a 3-1 financial advantage in the general election. Sweet.
McCain backing off on drilling for oil in the Arctic wildlife refuge won't make too may of his corporate masters happy, either. This guy flip flops more than Ratfucker Romney and that is saying something.
Certainly, he can now write California off. He had hoped to be able to appeal to enough independents in California to carve out a victory there, but his calling for coastal drilling has cashiered that. Florida undercover gay Governor Charlie Crist, who had also been against exploration off of his state's coast, is now for it, cynically referring to it as a states rights issue.
Huh? Florida has no rights in this decision other than to have its voters throw the presidential administration out of office that drills there. This may have cost McCain that state, too. Obama, according to most polls, is leading in all the swing states right now. Only the Rev. Moon-backed Rassmussen Poll has him losing one of those states.
Even Jeb Bush was against drilling in Fklorida waters.
Perhaps as a hail mary to get on the goodside of MSNBC, which is owned by nuclear plant contractor General Electric, McCain has called for building 45 nuclear plants. Or as I call them, 45 new delicious terrorist targets. And that is before you get to nuclear waste disposition issues and potential safety problems. They also aren't very economical. I'm all for building more power plants, especially gas fired ones, but you don't use uranium, whose radiation is poisonous for about 350,000 years, to boil water, which is what a nuke plant does.
McCain's cartoon turtle-like economic adviser, Phil Gramm, gets his main paycheck these days from Swiss bank UBS AG. This can't help McCain's electoral chances.
It also appears that the Republicans are going to try to demonize Michelle Obama during the campaign. Huffington Post writer Stephen Elliott responded by musing on Cindy McCain's drug problem.
However, that doesn't matter to the yellow elephants. They take their marching orders from another druggie, Rush Limbaugh. So Cindy is just par for the Republican course.
Speaking of Cindy McCain, there was another Huffpo piece on her giving John McCain free transportation on her private jet. I wrote a response that as much as I don't care for the old geezer, the fact remains that John is Cindy's spouse and that this doesn't have the same scent of public corruption that other free excursions provided by corporate lobbyists to elected officials have. The Huffpo moderators censored that and instead printed missives all condemning the McCains for this. Kind of intellectually dishonest, no?
The Huffpo folks also continue to churn out drooling tributes to the late Tim Russert. The readership of the site is becoming fed up with it. While moderators have let through occasional condemnations of the potato headed Sunday talker, they are currently heavily censoring anything that contains really strong attacks of either the ongoing eulogies or Russert himself. Again, media royalism at its worst.
Any minute now, I expect Arianna Huffington to issue a fawning piece talking about how tasty Russert's semen was when she gave him a hummer in a beltway bathroom. She wil call it the milk of human kindness and devotion, or some other such blather.
And again, what are these pundits going to do when a real giant, Mike Wallace, finally grabs some eternal rest? Demand they put his face on Mt. Rushmore? Have a monument erected to him in D.C.? The bloviating classes have really put themselves out on a ledge here to the point of parody.
CBS' Lara Logan, not exactly your Phd candidate, lamented the less than substantive coverage of the Iraq war. Give her a tardy and put her in detention. It is one thing to say that now, but she obviously didn't have the guts to do so two years ago. So she is still just another media coward trying to do a fast song and dance to redeem herself.
Is corrupt Alaska congressman Don Young a politician or a leader of a religious cult? Jesus Q. Christ!
Is this the British government's attempt to pull a Mossadegh coup-type action on Equatorial Guinea? Especially since Margaret Thatcher's son Mark is involved in this.
Is Europe finally getting a clue on illegal immigration? This was a MAJOR issue (along with the Iraq war) in Britian that helped sweep the Tories into power.
In the wake of the download frenzy for Firefox the other day comes news that someone has already found a security hole in it. It still beats the hell out of Internet Explorer, though.
A lot of people are confused about what global warming entails. Many think it means that they will wake up one day and it will be 150 degrees outside. What the actual ramifications are concern the creation of more severe weather episodes and the shifting of climatic zones.
There is already a rise in global sea levels due to eroding cie fields in Greenland and the poles, causing many so-called "barrier islands" along the east coast of the U.S. to now be submerged. Those islands had acted as a brake on hurricane intensity, but now that they aren't there you could see far more severe storm surges than in the past inundating cities such as Miami and even Washington D.C., where flood waters could be licking at the White House grounds at some point.
That is due to the fact that the Potomac empties out into a bay, which leads to a one foot increase in river level for each foot of higher tide in the ocean. Washington D.C. was once largely a big marsh and diseases such as malaria weren't unknown there.
In hot water himself right now is a teenager in tony Coto de Caza in Orange County, California who not only hacked into his school's computers to change his grades, but he also conducted break ins to plant malware on school computers. He faces up to 38 years in jail, though he will probably get less than a year. I would like to see him get a nickel (five years) because this is a bad kid and you can't allow this kind of behavior to pass without firm legal punishment.
Unfortunately, too many people seem willing to cut this asshole a break, some recommending as little as community service and even companies hiring him for his hacking skills. Yeah, that makes sense for someone accused of identity theft, burglary, etc. Had this kid been, say, 25, the sympathy would have been non-existent. That's ridiculous. Fuck this retard.
He'll probably be hired as a Republican operative, though. He has the background for it. Amoral slimebag who has some dough.
Or how about some fucked retards? I mean, WTF?
Now where did we put those nuclear weapons parts? Oops, I can't remember! Now just why did you guys vote for Bush on national security issues?
I'm glad that Boeing is getting another shot at supplying tankers to the U.S. Air Force over Airbus, but Americans, unfortunately, both benefit and get hurt in that deal.
South Korea and Japan enjoy internet connection speeds far in excess of what you can get through ur monopolistic cable and telecom firms in the U.S. Well, that may change, but it is kinda late in the game and the Koreans and Japanese pay cheaper rates despite strong currencies.
And is Japan poised to blow Detroit up with its new hydrogen fuel cell cars? We'll see.
Also, here is an interesting way to think about car mileage.
If you're enough of an idiot to use HGH to boost your athletic performance, well, swing and a miss if this report is correct.
As I type this, I am watching an absolutely stellar series on the History Channel on the battle of Thermoplaye. You know, they one they made the move 300 about. If they repeat it, don't miss it. Just terrific.

Random Stuff
John McCain has been attempting to make himself the national security candidate. Missed it by THAT much.
What is it about intelligence and the British Commonwealth? I detailed earlier for you the problems that Canada's spooks have had and Britain's MI5 and MI6 have been penetrated more than a high street whore.
Well, here we go again. Apparently some kind soul in the U.K. intelligence community felt that there wasn't any interesting reading to be had on London trains, so he left some top secret documents to be perused by interested parties.
Then it happened AGAIN.
You wonder if the trains are being used as a document drop by a mole to his/her foreign intelligence service handler. Once I can see as just inattention, twice and a thorough review of the members of both MI5 and MI6 may be in order.
This reminds me of a story in Canada not too long ago about that nation's anti-terror plans being discarded in a dumpster.
How about Air Canada being spied on by Westjet? I'm not kidding.
Canada really is the Bullwinkle Moose of countries. amiable but also big, dumb and easy to scam.
There is a controversy bubbling up now about some congress critters, most of them Democrats, receiving special favors from the near bankrupt Countrywide Mortgage firm. Compared to the Abramoff investigation, the rather slight breaks are small potatoes, but it nonetheless undermines some of the party's moral authority vis a vis the Bush administration.
Unlike Republicans, however, who defend their kind no matter what they did (*cough Scooter Libby *cough John Doolittle *cough), I hope this matter is thoroughly investigated and if there is any corruption, and how can you not suspect there was, the guilty should be iced in maximum security for a dime (ten years). Corruption undermines democracy, no matter who is doing it.
In a roundabout connection, Pakistan Junta-crat Pervez Musharraf may be impeached in a country he grabbed off in a military coup. So let's look at the totals here: a leader of a military junta in a Muslim state can be impeached but in the reputed land of the free and home of the brave political predator Bush can't? What is wrong with THAT picture?
Jesus H. Fuck Me Christ! MSNBC spent all day Saturday memorializing dead Bush enabler Tim Russert even though there was a human and economic tragedy occurring in Iowa. It's all about priorities, that being able to, in effect, run a long ass infomercial for yourself by using a dead man as a proxy. In other words, by highlighting that "we had Russert, this great man," they were actually endeavoring to embellish the NBC brand. When you have a chance to do that, well, it's only Iowa, I guess.
Oh speaking of lame marketing ideas, I tried to watch a couple of episodes of Family Guy the other day on TBN (not to be confused with televangelist scam artists and alleged closeted homosexual Paul Crouch's Trinity Broadcasting Network) and they have come up with a really irritating way to promote their programs now. What they do is impose animations and blurbs about them during segments. That isn't bad in itself, but they were doing it every fucking two minutes! They even stopped the show a couple of times midway through scenes so that the star of this particular show, Bill Engvall, could utter the ad copy. It was so bad that after a few minutes, I got fed up and turned the tv off.
I mean, what the fuck? We need that shit hammered into our eyes and heads repeatedly to try to ensure that someone would watch that show? I'm not going to see Engvall's vehicle just because I feel so insulted by such overweening marketing. And I like the guy! But fuck him and his show. That is just pure lack of consideration for the viewing public. Whoever devised this shit needs to be castrated.
Separated at birth? Max Headroom and Republican bullshit slinger Tony Snow. Kinda eerie, isn't it?
The irony with bringing up Snow, who is one of the GOP's asses of evil, is that Russert farts off the earth all of a sudden while Snow survives two bouts of cancer. Russert was just a dupe. Snow was a cheerleader for a fascist takeover of the U.S.
Oh, I forgot to mention this: when Russert croaked Friday, Laura Ingraham was subbing for Blahblah O'Reilly on his show. Someone did a flattering summation of Russert's career and Ingraham didn't react much to it. Of course, Ingraham was originally brought to you by MSNBC during its days as a purveyor of reactionary cant.
But what struck me was how made up Ingraham was. Talk about putting makeup on a pig. As someone who has a thing for tomboys, who usually do have at least some kind of femininity, Ingraham is more like a mildly fay northern European male. She has to be a dyke. I know I'm hardly alone in thinking this, but c'mon.
It just cracks me up how many gay hating Republicans are in denial about how infiltrated by rightwing homosexuals the GOP is. Hell, Florida Governor Charlie Crist, who might be McCain's VP, is rumored to be of that ilk. Fox regularly has John Kasich on frequently, another alleged gay. California nitwit congressman David Dreier has denied his friendship with Dorothy, if you get my drift, which nobody, and I mean nobody, believes.
You know, "angry" is an adjective often used to describe Keith Olberman. In fact, it is an accusation you hear from the rightwing parrotheads and even from the New Yorker, of all outlets. The disingenuousness of that is pretty apparent, though. The whole rightwing radio format is predicated on sputtering displays of white trash male imaginary grievances, with its most ebullient, if you want to call it that, practitioner being onetime herbal medicine barker and San Francisco talk show host Michael "the human snotball" Savage. MSNBC had him on for a while before he got so excessive that even the Republicans at GE who run the station had to can him to preserve their image.
So the whole anger meme runs like this: seething at lefties in a ballistic fit is perfectly fine, but you turn it on members of the self-appointed chosen, i.e, the GOP, then you are psycho. It's called having it both ways.
Bad news for queer bashers: you're dinosaurs!
And your boy McCain may have a campaign manager with ties to the vicious Russian Mob.
For those of you still using Internet Explorer (what, are you still on AOL, too you chumps?), Tuesday would be the perfect time for you to join the cool kids and download the Firefox browser. It loads smoother than the Gates product and it also offers a neat array of widgets to make your net surfing more fun thanks to being open source. Seriously, IE is for McCain voters, people who are too stupid to know when something is OVER.
Poor Republicans! They have been burbling about what they termed recent successes in Afghanistan. Well, you can kiss that idea goodbye. Sadly, there is also this bit of news.
Meanwhile, there have been rumblings that Barack Obama may be able to peel off some of the evangelical vote from McCain. Here is one illustration why.
Unfortunately, as we creep closer to November, the GOP's kissin' cousins are gearing up to kill the Illinois Senator. That is no joke. Why do Republicans hate democracy so much?
They also hate science.
What is it about intelligence and the British Commonwealth? I detailed earlier for you the problems that Canada's spooks have had and Britain's MI5 and MI6 have been penetrated more than a high street whore.
