Amazing Video from Iran

Iranian students attacked by the police. you can see them group across the parking lot and then just charge. The events going on right now in Iran are some of the most amazing in years. Earlier today Ahmadinejad's on party members in the Iranian Parliament broke into fist fights over the whether the President's people were sending plainclothes thugs to attack students. Note: Ahmadinejad has not been seen in public since Monday.

Zephyrs take 1st Place

Very exciting night!

Boy, Tom Tomorrow is GREAT!

Those last 2 are the best, in light of the Gov. of Texas threatening to secede!

Democrats Can Be Hypocrites Too!

Seems this Blue Dog Democrat was just FINE with that felony warrantless wiretapping that Bush instigated...until she found out she was being wiretapped herself!

Jane Harman: Angry, partisan, civil liberties extremist

Blue Dog Rep. Jane Harman -- once the most vigorous Democratic cheerleader of Bush's NSA warrantless eavesdropping program -- is rip-roarin' angry today.  Apparently, her private conversations were eavesdropped on by the U.S. Government!  This is a grave outrage that, as she told Andrea Mitchell just moments ago, demands a probing investigation:

That's what I asked Attorney General Holder to do -- to release any tapes, I don't know whether they were legally made or not, of my conservations about this matter  . . . and to hope that he will investigate whether other members of Congress or other innocent Americans might have been subject to this same treatment.  I call it an abuse of power in the letter I wrote him this morning. . . .

I'm just very disappointed that my country -- I'm an American citizen just like you are -- could have permitted what I think is a gross abuse of power in recent years.  I'm one member of Congress who may be caught up in it, and I have a bully pulpit and I can fight back.  I'm thinking about others who have no bully pulpit, who may not be aware, as I was not, that someone is listening in on their conversations, and they're innocent Americans.

So if I understand this correctly -- and I'm pretty sure I do -- when the U.S. Government eavesdropped for years on American citizens with no warrants and in violation of the law, that was "both legal and necessary" as well as "essential to U.S. national security," and it was the "despicable" whistle-blowers (such as Thomas Tamm) who disclosed that crime and the newspapers which reported it who should have been criminally investigated, but not the lawbreaking government officials.  But when the U.S. Government legally and with warrants eavesdrops on Jane Harman, that is an outrageous invasion of privacy and a violent assault on her rights as an American citizen, and full-scale investigations must be commenced immediately to get to the bottom of this abuse of power.  Behold Jane Harman's overnight transformation from Very Serious Champion of the Lawless Surveillance State to shrill civil liberties extremist. 

Saints Fan!

They Probably Just Forgot!

This one won't help them much...The GOP is tired of being called "The Party of NO!", as if they're only obstructionist, possessing no alternatives of their own.  They're set to put an end to that today with the release of the Republican budget titled "The Republican Road to Recovery".

...The problem is the budget they released DOESN'T HAVE ANY NUMBERS IN IT!  That's right!  no deficit projections, no savings projections, nor a calculation of where this savings would manifest itself.  They couldn't have thought this was a good idea.  Really?

This was pretty funny...

You Know, I've Been Wondering...

The Republicans have a long history of loyalty to their leadership. regardless of my own feelings, i'm a little amazed at how harsh the GOP faithful are turning on this guy. Whether it be Rush or members of congress, they're not really known for shooting down their own kind. Have you ever seen it? find a relative older than you. did THEY ever see anything like this?

hmm...

I guess the real question is how long they plan to let a black man run the party? maybe it was a little too soon for this much progress?

3 homeruns so far!

What a great Saturday!
