Shoulda Called it for Tomorrow
time to run in circles. *yawn*
The coalition that brought over 700,000 pro-immigrant rights marchers to Los Angeles announced yesterday that the next mass action will be “an economic and labor boycott that will paralyze the US economy”. The planned boycott, which now has international support, is to protest the racist HR4437 legislation being debated in the US Senate.
“paralyze...” “raaaacist...” "international support"-- who, the Frentch students?
...a “Summit Meeting” in Phoenix, Arizona to work out the details of the “international economic and labor boycott”. The summit will take place on April 8th and 9th. The boycott will take place on May 1
(Day of the International Solidarity of Workers) or May 5 (Cinco de Mayo). To be debated is whether a boycott beginning on May 1 and ending with a huge “fiesta” on May 5 can be sustained.
“international economic and labor boycott”?!?!? getting a little inflated opinion of your own importance, ain’tcha?
"What occurred on March 24 is a consequence of the people
being tired of the treatment we are receiving.
Too much danged FREE medical care, FREE schooling, FREE bi-lingual ballots, and ‘press one for English’—you US BASTARDS!!
"We have to demonstrate to the nation, one more time, that its economic stability depends on us. I am sure that our sister nations of Latin America, who are also tired of the situation, will unite with us”, Professor Navarro said.
Shoot! Were we supposta be sending those checks to Latin America, too? Dang! I forgot alla bout that. Hey! Hombres—es in el mailo. ho-k-o?
"That is why we will celebrate May 1, ‘Day of the Worker’, with labor strikes, no purchases and go out and march.
Soon they will see the impact we will have! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA”, he concluded. *snork*
Do da name, May Day ring a bell? hmmmmmm
wonder whose ox will be algored?

So Many Questions
that’s what blogs are for
Whyinhell does McKinney keep getting reelected? Are the folks in her district, like… damaged in some awful way?
What on Earth does Berry Hellifontee have to do with a woman assaulting a po-leece officer and trying to get off by blaming it on… oh. nevermind.
When was Danny Glover in some horrible disfiguring accident?
MORE: the statement Missy McKinney’s attys prevented her from using
This morning at approximately 8:57 am, I was going to a Budget Committee meeting due to start at 9:00 am. I was rushing to my meeting when a white police officer yelled to me. He approached me, bodyblocked me, physically touching me. I used my arm to get him off of me. I told him not to touch me several times. He asked for my ID and I showed it to him. He then let me go and I proceeded to my meeting and I assume that the Police Officer resumed his duties. I have counseled with the Sergeant-at-Arms and Acting Assistant Chief Thompson several times before and counseled with them again on today’s incident. I offered also to counsel with the offending police officer. I have agreed to try to remember to wear my pin and to notify Capitol Hill police every time I change my hairstyle. ...
Question: Whaddya—twelve and a half?!?! And why didja forget to say “So There, pbpbpbpthtthht”?
Nother Question: Whatinhell does counseled mean, anyway?!? Were you counseling with that officer when you smacked him?
My father was a police officer. After the tragedies on September 11th, recognizing the strain that we all were under, I wrote a letter to Sergeant-at-Arms Livingood reminding him that police officers were operating under great stress while working long hours. I asked that they be allowed to use their cell phones to contact their families to know that they were alright. No one else did this. But I did. ...
Your Daddy was Billy McKinney a Representative, who, when you got yer black ass tossed out last time, said it was “because of the JOOOOOOOOOOs—J. E. W. S.”, as he said. So, you as racist as yo’ Daddy?
Here’s McKinney’s released statement
Question: who wrote that for ya, dearie?
Question: You still lookin’ to take my property and give it to some black folks for res-tit-ooo-shun?
Question: Still a ‘Socialist?’ Darling of the DSA? Congressional Progressive Caucus member?
Someone's gotta do it....

More from Miss Carroll
‘Stockholm’ ring a bell?
from LGF via AllahMalkin
I think the Mujahedeen are very smart ... it makes very clear that the Mujahedeen are the ones who will win in the end in this war, ...It shows that no matter no matter what Americans try to say is happening here or try to do with all their weapons, they aren’t going to be able to stay here, they’re not going to be able to stop the Mujahedeen and that’s for sure.
Voice: What will you tell the American people?
Carroll: Well, first of all I want them to be able to understand, I want them to understand the Mujahedeen, truly. There are a lot of lies to come out of the American government, calling the Mujahedeen terrorists and other things and I think it’s important that American people hear from me the Mujahedeen are only trying to defend their country. This is only a jihad to stop an illegal and dangerous and deadly occupation ...
Voice: Do you have a message for Mr. Bush?
Carroll: (Laughs)Yeah, he needs to stop this war. He knows this war is wrong. He knows that it was illegal from the very beginning. He knows that it was built on a mountain of lies and I think he needs to finally admit that to the American people and make the troops go home and he doesn’t care about his own people....
oice: Do you think the Mujahedeen will win against the American Army?
Carroll: Oh definitely. Things are very clear to see even now they’re already winning. ...Everyday, it’s very clear that the Mujahedeen have the skills and the ability and the desire and the good reasons to fight that’ll make them ensure that they will win....
Voice: What do you feel now that the Mujahedeen are giving you your freedom while there are still women in Abu Ghraib living in very bad (unclear)?
Carroll: Well, I feel guilty honestly. I’ve been here, treated very well, like a guest. I’ve been given good food, never, never hurt while those women are in Abu Ghraib. Terrible things are happening to them with the American soldiers are torturing them and other things I don’t want, I can’t even say, so I feel guilty and I also feels it shows the difference between the Mujahedeen and Americans, the Mujahedeen are merciful and kind that’s why I’m free and alive. The American army they aren’t […not clear…] I feel guilty and I also feel that it just shows that Mujahedeen are good people, fighting an honorable fight, a good fight while the Americans are here as an occupying force treating the people in a very, very bad way so I can’t be happy totally for my freedom,...
yep. Poor little thing. The sharks are circling to make her the next CINDY Sheehan. It’ll work, too, if she falls for it—she’s much more photogenic… once she loses the head-rag.

Beltzer Belted
Maher, too...
From email --From ‘Letters’ section, Washington Times, 24 March, 2006
I was fascinated to watch the exchange between actor Richard Belzer and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen ("Into the lion’s den,” Inside Politics, yesterday). I have completed four combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. I participated in the initial invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and parachuted into Iraq three years ago this month. Most recently, I had the privilege of leading an infantry company in Mosul, Iraq. I use this as context, not authority, because, according to Mr. Belzer, participating in a conflict indicates a lack of understanding.
When I was younger, my father made me read a book by James Michener, “The Bridges at Toko-Ri.” When I finished, I told him the book was about naval aviators during the Korean War. He looked at me a little disappointed and told me I had missed the point. The book to him was not about pilots or the Korean War - it was about the bravery of men. At the end of the book, the captain of an aircraft carrier is watching his men suit up for yet another mission when he asks himself out loud, “Where do we get such men? Why is America lucky enough to have such men?”
Today, while actors and talk-show hosts see fit to broadly characterize the men and women of the armed forces as “19- and 20-year-old kids who couldn’t get a job,” we should be asking the same question.
I wish Bill Maher, Richard Belzer and the young adults of my generation who comment from campuses and talk shows all over the country and mistake knowledge for understanding could see what’s really happening over there. I welcome their right to disagree, but I wish they would educate themselves well enough to disagree intelligently.
They should see a 22-year-old spend two hours sitting on a hard concrete floor negotiating an electricity contract or generator plan only to hit an improvised explosive device emplaced by the very people he seeks to help; a 19-year-old female medic advise a 19-year-old Iraqi mother on how to treat her child’s ear infection; or men still dazed from a bomb blast that killed a friend and wounded seven others return from a mission and roll up their sleeves to give blood for the wounded, then clean the blood out of their vehicle to do a night patrol.
They do it without ceremony or formality; they do it because it is their job and they are driven by sense of purpose few in other professions can understand.
“Where do we get such men?” From all over - not just America, but from many other countries, but I know for sure the dedication required to do what they do every day is equal to the demands of any “real job.”CAPT. PAUL CARRON

anybody else see this?
There’s a new verbal tic on the am VRWC raadio circuit: calling those in gubbmint and Congress the elite. I’m guessing [hoping] this started out in an ironic, arch kinda way but I’m hearing it more and more often in the last week and I’d like to point something out:
This is NOT Maria Antoinette’s France—there IS no “Ruling Class,” NO elite. This is AMERICA: Congress is the hired help. And it’s about damned time we remind ‘em of it before we have 500 or so Cynthia McKinneys running around DC.
That is all.

WTF is da mattah with Feingold
WASHINGTON - Sen. Russ Feingold has called on Watergate’s John Dean to testify at a hearing Friday on the Wisconsin Democrat’s resolution to censure President Bush.
Dean, a one-time White House counsel under President Nixon, testified before the Senate committee investigating the events that eventually led to Nixon’s impeachment.
He recently wrote a column comparing Bush’s conduct to that of Nixon’s, saying both authorized warrantless wiretapping and broke the law.

Dear Senators
time to take a cue from the Heartland
The Idaho Senate just passed the Castle Law. That means bogies who are injured breaking into your home can’t sue you. I believe it even covers bullet wounds—but ask RG.
Might there some inference / deduction / induction / extrapolation DemDam Senators might glean from this?

What Every California School Kid Knows
those who read English… ...or read at all
Prior to 1822—Southern border of Oregon to Northern border of Utah to SE Texas belongs to Spain. The economy in California—*crickets*
1823—Stephen F. Austin received a grant from the Mexican government and began colonization in the region of the Brazos River.
1822—Mexico rebelled against Spain and enacted its new Constitution October 4, 1824, making Spain’s Territories Mexico’s. This Constitution failed to describe the rights of the states within its republic. California now is a Mexican Territory. The economy in California—*crickets*
1832-33—Texas, unsatisfied with Mexico’ governance held Conventions to demand changes which Stephen Austin carried to Mexico City where he was imprisoned in early 1884 until 1835. The economy in California—*crickets*
1836—on March 2, Texas signed its Declaration of Independence from Mexico becoming the Republic of Texas. Mexico kept fighting.
March 6, 1836—The Battle of the Alamo
April 21, 1836—Texans under Sam Houston routed the Mexican forces of Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto winning independence.
1845—US President James Polk makes an agreement with the Republic of Texas to help them expand their borders down to the Rio Grande if they will then become a US territory/state. Polk orders US troops to march south of the Mexican border. “Manifest Destiny” becomes a commonly used phrase.
May 10, 1846—Mexican troops and American troops engage in battle. Stories differ as to who fired the first shot. Later in the year, Congressman Abraham Lincoln states “...the president unnecessarily and unconstitutionally commenced a war with Mexico.” The economy in California—*crickets*
1846-1848—U.S. Army battles Mexico, not just enforcing the new Texas border at the Rio Grande but capturing Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and California; as well as marching as far south as Mexico City. The economy in California—*crickets*
July 4, 1848—Mexico surrenders on U.S. terms. U.S. takes over ownership of New Mexico, California, an expanded Texas, and more, for a payment of $15 million. The Whig Intelligencer remarks: “We take nothing by conquest....Thank God.”
The Treaty of Guadilupe-Hidalgo stated [in part]:
...just sayin’The boundary line established by this article shall be religiously respected by each of the two republics, and no change shall ever be made therein, except by the express and free consent of both nations, lawfully given by the General Government of each, in conformity with its own constitution.
...If unhappily any disagreement should hereafter arise between the Governments of the two republics, whether with respect to the interpretation of any stipulation in this treaty, or with respect to any other particular concerning the political or commercial relations of the two nations, the said Governments, in the name of those nations, do promise to each other that they will endeavour, in the most sincere and earnest manner, to settle the differences so arising, and to preserve the state of peace and friendship in which the two countries are now placing themselves, using, for this end, mutual representations and pacific negotiations. And if, by these means, they should not be enabled to come to an agreement, a resort shall not, on this account, be had to reprisals, aggression, or hostility of any kind, by the one republic against the other, until the Government of that which deems itself aggrieved shall have maturely considered, in the spirit of peace and good neighbourship, whether it would not be better that such difference should be settled by the arbitration of commissioners appointed on each side, or by that of a friendly nation. And should such course be proposed by either party, it shall be acceded to by the other, unless deemed by it altogether incompatible with the nature of the difference, or the circumstances of the case.
Article XXII sets out the rules justincase “which is not to be expected, and which God forbid) war should unhappily break out between the two republics.”

ok—what’ve we got outta alla that?
From the time Mexico was born, 1822, until the time it lost CA and the other territories—in a war, fair and square—26 years passed. Until California became a state, 28 years passed. In that time, Mexico did exactly nada with CA and her rich resources. So someone ‘splain this to me, m’kay?

I guess we now know why there’re so many ‘Open Posts’—following in the Wonkette’s footsteps, the Kos has hisself a book. *ptui* [not pluggin’ it—just thot you’d accuse me of makin’ stuff up.]
Apparently the jist is that the VRWC [he actually uses that phrase *snork*] has a ‘Media Machine’ consisting of am raadio and FOX, while pooor little Progressives have only the blogs. ...and ABCBSMSNBCNN. which he neglects to mention. ...but that’s not important, now. ...and stop calling him Shirley.

Disinformation ala KGB
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. commanders in Iraq on Monday accused powerful Shi’ite groups of moving the corpses of gunmen killed in battle to encourage accusations that U.S.-led troops massacred unarmed worshippers in a mosque.

A reprieve from the Manchurian Candidate
the Lun-chay Boyz will be relieved. JR, too.
In a 6-0 vote, the commission decided to regulate only paid political ads placed on another person’s website.
The decision means that bloggers and online publications will not be covered by provisions of the new election law. Internet bloggers and individuals will therefore be able to use the internet to attack or support federal candidates without running afoul of campaign spending and contribution limits.
“It’s a win, win, win,” Commissioner Ellen L. Weintraub said
No, Ellen. A ‘Win-Win” would be all together wiping out this fantastically stupid and unconstitutional attack on the First Amendment rights of citizens. Now run along and fine someone for saying ‘boobie.’
