1 Good morning!

I'm sorry to start crapping on the other thread, but I'm steamed about Althouse's latest volley in the Ewok wars. 

2 Dude!

3 So, bipartisanship is now defined as when the left and the far-left of the Democrat party reach a compromise? That's like saying Charlie Crist is bisexual because he likes both macho and effeminate men.

4 i guess genuine bipartisan support means that the (r's) go along with EVERYTHING THE (d's) want..............

Day in court: Mom's attorney says there are 'mitigating circumstances'

 

Her attorney, Carl B. Grant of Orangeburg, said he has met twice with Duley and learned much about what happened. He declined to share details of their conversation but said "there are mitigating circumstances that will explain all of this."

 

That has got to be one of the stupidest comments I have heard from a practicing lawyer who was not a politician in a long long time. Even Lord Toranaga would not be able to find a “mitigating circumstance” for killing young children.

7

They know that "bipartisan" is a four syllable word and therefore has to be "defined" for their base. They have to get the idea out there that republicans are mean and the party of "no" because they won't be "bipartisan" which means agreeing with democrats.

Their "party of no" schtick is dead because people want someone to say "no" to these radicals. It's a compliment not a bug.

8 Hey, if the Democrat Socialists and Democrat Communists can work together, anything's possible!

9 It is odd watching Althouse kinda trolling on her own site. Not classic trolling, but throwing out strawmen,  getting all personally/emotionally invested in throwaway crap like Star Wars jokes, reflexively playing an "-ism" card, etc.
I dig her site, she just really, really hates it when she's perceived as wrong.

10 The mom is going to plead not guilty by reason of insanity, and the jury will buy it, because jurors don't like to think/believe a mother is sane that can leave her children strapped in a car and then intentionally sink it.

11 What we now have in Iraq is a defeat.

12 I'm sorry to start crapping on the other thread, but I'm steamed about Althouse's latest volley in the Ewok wars.

Who cares?  Let her screech.

13 because jurors don't like to think/believe a mother is sane that can leave her children strapped in a car and then intentionally sink it.

This one is different. She actually killed them before she put them in the car and sank it.

If the DA and the judge present the jury with the proper instructions they WILL find her guilty because of the fact that she tried to cover up the crime after the fact. That alone shows that she knew what she was doing was wrong and that is the basis for the insanity plea.

Note also that this is multiple murder which in SC qualifies for the death penalty.

14
Y'know morons, sometimes it helps to put a link in your post before you start rambling about something.  Fills in the blank spots.  And it's easy.

He needs to be put in a sack with Fred Barnes.  Put the sack in a '75 Plymouth Duster and park the car in a the long-term lot at Newark airport.

I just realized that I go to Althouse to troll bash (she's got some great ones) and that I never really pay much attention to her not-very-insightful or not-very-well-thought-out commentary.

 a muslim employee is suing disneyland because the won't let her be a hostess at the grand californian hotel if she dons her hijab....she asked if she could wear it, they told her no because it didn't conform to the disney look...she wore it anyway.......they told her she could work in the back away from guests or take it off and work in front with the guests......or go home.....she was insulted and is now suing........

and she only started wearing it when ramadan began...so it seems it was not an issue before........

Ok, that's pretty funny.

Mort Kondracke was sooo right. Obama and the Democrats really did get a bounce from the passage of the People's Glorious Health Care Bill.

whatever happened to that guy? he used to be on fox a lot, but he's kinda disappeared. I just with he took his BFF Fred Barnes with him when he left.

The thing that riled me was her speaking on behalf of women this morning when she dispensed advice to men about how to be attractive. 

For whatever reason, she's considered to be some sort of authority on women's issues - or is at least an authoritative woman.  So her turning this into a gender war - when it's just that she's an aging, humorless, out-of-touch prig - does damage. 

24 and she only started wearing it when ramadan began...so it seems it was not an issue before........

Yeah.  I wonder if she wore it to her interview.

Disney should have no difficulties.  They classify their employees as "entertainers" so they can regulate pretty much anything they want.

28 At the bottom of Kristol piece (in the Headlines), there's a "go back" link. I was hoping it would restore the 30 seconds I lost while reading his twaddle. No such luck.

What is it that makes the political chattering class so clueless? Left to themselves, they babble like off-their-meds loons; thanks to the interwebz, they quote each other and comment on each others' posts. Which usually are comments on someone else's idea to begin with....

At least it's better than reading the "real" news. Does anyone still believe Osama Obama is not deliberately driving this nation toward collapse?

I'm sure there are sites on the vast internet where one can vent about race to whatever extent one wants.  Acting like ace is a pussy for not allowing certain views to be posted and behaving as if the entire civilization will come to an end if you can't post certain words on his site is childish.

TRENTON — A majority of New Jersey voters approve of Gov. Chris Christie's job performance, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released this morning.

Fifty-one percent of voters approve of Christie, while 36 percent disapprove. ThatÂ’s a major jump from the last Quinnipiac poll, taken on June 17, when 44 percent approved and 43 percent disapproved.

If anyone cares, it looks like the new Journolist target is Pamela Geller.  WaPo has big takedown of her and Robert Spencer today.  Apparently the lefties are pushing the meme that Geller singlehandedly ginned up this phony outrage over the GZ Mosque as a publicity stunt and to further her outrageously outrageous Islamophobia and sell her book.  Some troll over at HotAir is demanding that we all disassociate ourselvers from this person, who I never heard of until the lefties started attacking her.  I gather that Charles Johnson is all over this too, though I won't go to LGF to find out.

100 Vic, I have no clue.  She won the first primary and lost by around 2,500 votes (before the absentee and military ballots were counted).  I'm too weary to put on my tinfoil hat.  If Roy Barnes wins, this state will go back to tax and spend, increased social programs, etc.

i know we aren't allowed to look at history in simplistic terms any more, but will August 18, 2010 be remembered a "VI Day"

That pretty much depends almost entirely on the Iraqi's and their new government.  If they can hold off the murderous vile filth who will kill civilians, women and children (sorry, can't bring myself to call these vermin insurgents like the MSM does) then this will indeed be perhaps one of the greatest victories of our time.

The one thing that should scare them more than anything?  An Iraqi free press.  At the moment most of your rank and file muslims from the middle east are taught that America is evil, ad infinitum.  This is reenforced over and over and over again by what they see on media that is directly controlled by regimes that are unfriendly to say the least.

But if these people can start hearing the truth, in their own language, from their own people?  Then things will really begin to change.  It's going to take time, and a lot still hinges on the ability of Iraq to remain a free and democratic nation, but if they can, the long term results could be dramatic to say the least.

103 What, am I the only one here getting paid by Pam to gin up opposition to the Victory Mosque?

104 Good for Pam. She's always one of the toughest bloggers on all things Islam/Israel related. Unafraid to offend, and all the right people can't stand her. Still, she is no more "behind" the GZ mosque opposition than I am. But it's interesting that her opponents think she represents/controls the views of 65% of Americans. Must make them feel pretty small.

105 @106

Yeah, that's a funny theory and some great projection.  The lefties can't think for themselves, requiring talking points and community organizers in order to come down on a side.  So they assume conservative popular opinion is shaped the same way.  It never occurs to them that common sense and common courtesy form the basis for a large majority of the public's opinion on the Death Mosque.

You know, I was watching the local news today - in UTAH, Baby! - and there was a story about a tabernacle the LDS wanted to build in Phoenix.  It drew criticism from the community for being too tall.  So the LDS church altered their building plans to make it shorter.  I suppose what they should've done is hire a team of lawyers and pull strings with the Administration to make the community accept the original plan. 

106 Heads up, east coast morons.  Accuweather is showing some interesting stuff coming off the coast of Africa that should develop into something major this weekend.

I hate hurricane season.  Like we're not stressed out enough from Wee Wee and his minions.

107 A very telling quote from a Blago juror about the lone holdout and selling Obama's Senate Seat:

Mr. Wlodek described her stance as “very noble,” adding: “She did not see it as a violation of any laws. It was politics. It was more of conversations of what-ifs.”

Considering what is now known of her, and her late husband's, background in government and politics in Chicago it's clear she thinks only a completed sale of the seat would ever be a crime. Till then it's only "what-ifs". So shopping political favors around must be de rigueur in Illinois for her to have become so blase` about it.

111 Considering what is now known of her, and her late husband's, background in government and politics in Chicago it's clear she thinks only a completed sale of the seat would ever be a crime. Till then it's only "what-ifs". So shopping political favors around must be de rigueur in Illinois for her to have become so blase` about it.

Well the court just ruled that Utah had to remove the road crosses erected to honor State Troopers who were killed in those locations.

Yeah, I saw that yesterday.  Ridiculous ruling (and I tend pretty strict on separation of Church and State issues). 

114 Blazer was banned? That one, I'll miss.

115 Jane, I don't deal well with extreme weather. So far, in less than a year, we've had floods, a tornado, tons of thunder storms, lightning hitting in the back yard, etc. And I'm told that hurricanes do come to this state, lol.

116 Ugh, that should be Hebrew Indians. Coke Zero is no substitute for actual sleep.

117

lgf 1.o insane blogger hates pamela geller of atlas shrugs because she has surpassed him in the job he used to to so well ....exposing muslim extremism...pamela  raisies money to fight islamism and protect young women from honor killings.....and honor the memories of girls killed by their family ...she travels the country...goes on national tv and radio shows...writes books.....and she is fit......everything that guy isn't anymore........she showed him up and he can't handle it...........

118
I hate hurricane season. 

Yeah, can you believe all these massive hurricanes we've had, just like NOAA predicted?

Blazer gets banned like other people change shirts.  No worries.

119 know we aren't allowed to look at history in simplistic terms any more, but will August 18, 2010 be remembered a "VI Day"

That pretty much depends almost entirely on the Iraqi's and their new government.  If they can hold off the murderous vile filth who will kill civilians, women and children (sorry, can't bring myself to call these vermin insurgents like the MSM does) then this will indeed be perhaps one of the greatest victories of our time.

I agree, however most people forget that Americans didn't stop dying in Germany after May 8, 1945  or in Japan after August 15, 1945 and neither did germans or Japanese.

Hell the Germans had terrorists groups like the Red Brigade and Bader Meinhoff gang well into the 1970s. Heck, in Japan in 1960 you had a communist politician killed onstage by a right wing katana wielding nut ball on tv.   If you go an look at mircrofilm of American newspapers fromt he second half of 1940s you will see tons of articles asking if the occupation and rebuild is a failure. It wasn't until the mid 1950s that both countries had massive economic expansion.

I think political stability will be the determining factor. If they keep having free and fair(by arab standards) election, then it will be viewed as a success. They clearly don't have the industrial base of know how to turn into a massive economic powerhouse like Germany and Japan did by the 1950s.

 

I do think August 18th will belong in the same category as May 8, August 15, April 9, and November 11 in american history.

120 Well the court just ruled that Utah had to remove the road crosses erected to honor State Troopers who were killed in those locations.

And, if I were the Governor of Utah, I'd say "FO."

121 Does anybody here get letters to the editor in their newspaper from Marc Perkel of Gilroy, California?

I live in NE PA and this guy started showing up in one of our papers during the 2008 election campaign. Lots of people from out of the area started showing up then but this is the only one who still writes letters. The guy is a lunatic lefty who gets a letter published every week. Funny thing -- the paper has a policy of no more than two letters per month but gives a waiver to hard core leftists. I googled him and found a page from the Clinton years where he boasted that he wrote a letter to the editor every day and blast faxed it to 1,000 newspapers. He said he was published regularly by many papers, gave instructions on how to write a letter (keep it short and to the point) and provided example letters to cut and paste your own stuff into.

About two months ago he wrote a mocking, triumphalist letter claiming Republicans would suffer huge losses this November, perpetually becoming a party with the same political clout as the Libertarians.

Our local rag ran a new letter from him today and he's now singing a different tune:

-------
With poll numbers falling people are asking what Democrats should do now to win the mid-term elections this fall. What message should Democrats use to bring the attention of the voters back to remembering the Bush Era and how we got in this economic crisis in the first place.

If I were the Democrats what I would do is buy 15 minutes of time on the major networks a few days before the election and I would play Bush's full economic crisis speech of Sept. 24, 2008. I think once the voters hear that again, and the talking heads on cable start discussing it, then the election will be about whether America should continue the long hard path to recovery, or should we go back to the Bush era and make the problem worse. Elections have consequences and if we make the wrong choice then we have to pay the price.

-------

I love the smell of left wing fear in the morning.

122 I don't think Blazer was permanently banned. He was banned from one night of the ONT because of relentless drunken attacks on some of the moronettes.

He was back the next day and apologizing.

123

Note also that in the Mormon faith, the Cross (with Jesus on it or without) is not used as a symbol. Good luck finding one in the Tabernacle Choir or the local meetinghouse. To Mormons, the cross is a symbol of death.

(So says the link I found, anyway.)

No way did the Mormons intend these crosses as propaganda for their faith. That's just ignorant to think so. I'm as strict a secularist as one can find, and I think this ruling is crap.

Some troll over at HotAir is demanding that we all disassociate ourselvers from this person, who I never heard of until the lefties started attacking her. 

Ok, well considering I'd never heard of her before either, does that count as being disassociated enough or am I going to need to sign some sort of manifesto here?

Just curious.

speaking of mormons, has anyone been seeing a ton of commercials on tv of people talking about their lives and ending it with, "and i am a mormon".  ?

 

i've been hearing it on the radio too.

 

is this the church laying the ground work for a romney run? trying to dispell rumors and myths about the mormons.

Yeah.  I really think it's a crazy ruling, too.

The lawyer for "our" side was interviewed briefly and pointed out the use of crosses at Arlington National Cemetary and other government installations.
I hope they appeal.  I think they'll win. 

Now as a driver, I must admit that I often find these roadside memorials - official and otherwise - to be rather distracting and in some cases a bit alarming. The worst case was on the roads in West Virginia - very windy mountain roads with NO guard rails - which are dotted with crosses, flowers, etc, from all the dead folks.

Kratos at 48 I find this comment on the video typical of the apologists

It is quite scary when you use the term "Most of the country". What you are inching towards is majority rule. If you are looking for majority rule, you probably don't want to live in the United States of America because we are a Republic, not a democracy.

Eighteen months ago their attitude was that %52 percent is a majority and we bitter clingers should just accept that that's what happens in a democracy.  Now that nearly 70% think that the location of the mosque is at least in bad taste, we suddenly live in a republic and the rule of the majority is something to be concerned about.   Go figure.

Way to kill this thing dead (no pun intended). Get one of the families to agree to a monument that is comprised of a crescent. Hilarity will then ensue.

138 Why did Bob Dole contribute to Charlie Crist's campaign last weekend?

He's old and addled?

139

Pamela Geller posted at LGF until the 2007 counterjihad meeting in Brussels flap.  This is when Charles had his weird psychotic break and started seeing Nazis behind every bush, but not including antisemitic socialists on the Left.  He thinks Pam Geller is the first Yenta Einsatzgruppen member.    

Pam has posted some controversial and downright wacky stuff.  But a lot of the rest is stuff the MSM buries as a matter of policy and string-pulling.  So she gets a lot of scoops as well.  After leaving LGF Pam was attacked mercilessly by Charles and to this day. 

Obviously she's recently gained a lot of influence and notoriety with Spencer for the book, bus ads, Rifqa Bary, mosque protest, and SIOA. 

I worry the American media is trying to do 'for' Pam what the Dutch media did for Pim Fortuyn.   The MFM slavishly reports all criticism of Islam as some nefarious plot against Islam, per their Muslim Brotherhood instructions, I always note.    

140

Ben,

For crying out loud--does EVERYTHING have to have a conspiracy angle?

oh no. i didn't mean for it to sound conspiratorial.

it was the only reason i could think of.

i've been seeing and hearing these commercials all the time.  And i can't think of a reason why other than a potential romney run.

is there a wave of anti mormonism that the church is trying to quell, or something else going on?

I was simply asking the question if anyone has seen or heard these adds and if they knew why they were being played.

i just gave my best guess as to why.

141 is this the church laying the ground work for a romney run? trying to dispell rumors and myths about the mormons

I've started talking a bit with some of the folks around here (all LDS) about politics and Romney's name has not come up once.

I think it's just part of the Church's attempt to reach out (and get new members, of course).  For example, we learned that BYU has a (I believe relatively new) policy of limiting the number of students they accept from Utah (the number I heard was ~10%) and are really trying to further increase their international student population.  All part of spreading the word, I believe. 

Thus far, I really have not detected a big pro-Romney sentiment here. 

142

But it's interesting that her opponents think she represents/controls the views of 65% of Americans.



Now witness the firepower of these fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL boobies!

143

I agree, however most people forget that Americans didn't stop dying in Germany after May 8, 1945  or in Japan after August 15, 1945 and neither did germans or Japanese.

Very true, but of course back then we had a press corps that didn't delight in undermining any military effort like we do today.  I really wish we could have stuck it out in Iraq until their own government was in a good position to take the lead like we did in both Germany and Japan.

Sadly though our new socialist leaders are far to short sighted to ever take five minutes to pick up a history book to find out what works and what doesn't - and far more interested in picking our pockets, stealing our hard earned labors and redistributing it to their political supporters than they are in actually making the world a better, safer place for everyone.

I think political stability will be the determining factor. If they keep having free and fair(by arab standards) election, then it will be viewed as a success. They clearly don't have the industrial base of know how to turn into a massive economic powerhouse like Germany and Japan did by the 1950s.

Agreed.  But of course a lot of the industrial base in both countries was rebuilt by us after WWII, giving them better and more modern factories and thus a real leg up on the competition.

Hopefully the same will hold true of Iraq and it's oil industry, thanks to the evil corporate cabal known as Haliburton.  Sadly at this point only time will tell, and if the new Iraqi government doesn't hold up it won't be the failure of our brave men and women in uniform.

It will be the result of a cowardly CIC.  Sad, but true.

144 Now witness the firepower of these fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL boobies!

IT'S.  A.  TRAP!!!!

Essentially this means that the sites will go unmarked as there isn't an easily recognizable alternative.  My guess is that this falls into the "feature  not a bug" category on the left since as fond as they are of police states the death of individual troopers is of no interest at all. 

146 oops!  Y-not at 116 or Polynikes at 121

147 is there a wave of anti mormonism that the church is trying to quell, or something else going on?

Yes, there is.  Between the No H8ers and the Huckabites, I think there is an anti-Mormon trend.  I don't *think* it's major, but it's kind of there. 

But mostly I think they are just trying to get people to feel comfortable with their religion which ultimately would help it expand.  I can't say I blame them for that.  That's pretty much how organized religions work, except perhaps for Judaism which never seems to be trying to recruit new members. 

It is interesting though, how we perceive things depending on our frame of reference.  One of my favorite movies is Fletch, much of which is set in Utah.  Anyway, we stumbled across a site - not an official church site, mind you - where someone was picking it apart and finding lots of anti-LDS sentiment.  Stuff I didn't see and that, frankly, I don't think was intended. 

148

If anyone cares, it looks like the new Journolist target is Pamela Geller.  WaPo has big takedown of her and Robert Spencer today.  Apparently the lefties are pushing the meme that Geller singlehandedly ginned up this phony outrage over the GZ Mosque as a publicity stunt and to further her outrageously outrageous Islamophobia and sell her book.

The MFM is seriously pissed off over the GZM flap but I don't think it's the only reason they're attacking Geller.

Notice the new "Obama is a Muslim" controversy? Pam also wrote:

Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, in which President Obama told him that he was still a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father, the stepson of Muslim stepfather, that his half brothers in Kenya are Muslims, and that he was sympathetic towards the Muslim agenda.

So I think the MFM has more than one reason to go after her.

151

Why did Bob Dole contribute to Charlie Crist's campaign last weekend?

 

Quit lying about Bob Dole's record!

what's that? I did?

never mind

152 I could care less whether Imam Obama is still a practicing Muslim, but I love just dropping it casually amongst my more liberal friends. They immediately go with the, "Stop trying to fear-monger" line.

I just calmly state, well, in Islam if your father is a Muslim, you're a Muslim (much like if your mom's Jewish, you're Jewish, they get this one as many of my NY liberal friends are Jews). Obama's father was a Muslim, his step-father was a Muslim, he was raised in the world's must populous Islamic nation and attended public school there, which in an Islamic nation is basically the Muslim equivalent of Catholic school.

They get it, but they'd always just brush it off. After the Ground Zero Victory Mosque flap, my seeds have begun to sprout...

153 You guys are the bestest friends anyone could ever have. Just awesome. Just wanted to say that.

Umm, no - he did that first, but then later in a subsequent drunken attack, he questioned the motives of Ace and the cobloggers, and they weren't polite questions either.
