Eco-Sin

Now, we all have our thing, our little eco-sin: Some of us still throw away a plastic bottle here and there; some of us drive SUVs. But shouldn’t there be open scorn by now for a celebrity who flies his own 707 wherever he likes — especially scorn from all these green celebrities?

Can we include the Dem’s running for President?

Bleeping Win XP. keeps rebooting so I’ll be off line till I fix it.

Update. Well that wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. For once the repair utility  worked. I’m shocked.

Time To Brake Out The Popcorn

It’s time to pull up a chair grab the popcorn and laugh your ass off. You see the libs are trying to eat there own.

Blogswarm alert!

It looks as if David Broder’s column tomorrow may be making the rather creative case that Harry Reid is as inept as…Alberto Gonzales.

The nutroots are just starting to foam at the mouth over this.

I’ll cherry pick some examples for ya.

This man should be retired. His analysis shows absolutely no understanding of situations as they are unfolding. He is not worth the ink or paper he uses to write such nonsense. He’s become “inept”.

Someone needs to publickly hound Broader to explain the full extent of his connections with Rove. He owes his readers that much!

I’m not calling Broder inept, I’m calling him a fucking asshole and a bought-and-sold media whore. I wish I could find a more uncivil way to express that but for now I’ll have to just settle for this relatively civil version.

Broder’s charge doesn’t deserve a response, but for the record, Gonzales is more than just inept. Gonzales is also a liar and a war criminal. Comparing the utterly respectable and benevolent Reid to an apologist for torture with no respect for basic democratic values is WAY beyond the pale.

Fuck you David Broder you useless senile old fogey.

My 94-year-old Grandad made more sense than this pukenit. WTF, Broder, like his other pukenits Will, Krauthammer, etc., has been WRONG, WRONG, WRONG about this entire cabal and their war/invasion/occupation. So, why the hell should we bother with them, hmmmm?

Dean wants to bar the press? well with his track record it’s probably a good idea for him.

News Release   April 25, 2007 State RepresentativeLinda Flores

Governor Political Taskforce Trumps Campus Safety

(Salem) For the second time in a week a college campus in the Portland

area has shut down over threats of violence similar to what happened at

Virginia Tech last week. "I'm angry and sad that some in the Capitol put

politics over public safety," said State Representative Linda Flores

(R-Clackamas). She learned this week Governor Kulongoski may have asked

for a critical piece of public safety legislation to be pulled from the

legislative agenda because he wanted to put together his own campus

security taskforce first. Portland Community College Rock Creek campus

is closed today after a note was found in a restroom and the Vancouver

branch of Washington State University was evacuated last week under

similar circumstances. 

House Bill 3318 was already on the Judiciary Committee schedule for a

hearing long before 32 people were gunned down in Virginia Tuesday,

April 17th. A hearing on HB 3318 was set for Thursday, April 19th, but

mysteriously cancelled the day before. Now it's rescheduled for Friday

April 27th. HB 3318 would reclassify campus security personnel on

Oregon's eight public college campuses to give them more training and

allow them to carry firearms. 

Representative Flores pointed out this scheduling conundrum in a

remonstrance on the House Floor. She noted Oregon is believed to be one

of only two states which don't allow campus police to be armed. The

exceptions are Oregon State University, which has a contract with Oregon

 State Police and University of Oregon, which contracts with Eugene

Police Department. 

"It seems to me the time has come that we should allow our college

campuses to have the highest level of security possible, especially when

some of them have a population larger than some small towns. And not

just because of what happened at Virginia Tech, but because it is the

right thing to do," said Flores during her floor speech.

Flores learned the day after the Virginia Tech shooting, Governor

Kulongoski convened a meeting of several agency heads to talk about

forming a "Blue Ribbon Commission" to review security issues at all

education campuses across Oregon public and private, K-12 and college.

Several stakeholders were listed as possible commission members. 

The one group not invited to the Governor's meeting last week or listed

as a potential member of the new commission is the one representing

around 100 Public Safety Officers on all the state university campuses.

Mike Silver is a Public Safety Officer at Western Oregon University and

is the SEIU Local 503 representative for the campus officers. "We are

frustrated and disappointed that those who do this job are not being

asked what is needed or what they are encountering," said Silver. 

SEIU sponsored HB 3318. A similar bill was unsuccessful in the 2003

legislature. Silver asked, "how long can we continue to say 'it can't

happen here'? How much longer do we have to wait until we become

pro-active instead of re-active? Do we have to wait until we have an

on-campus shooting in Oregon and Oregon citizens die before we are

allowed passage of HB 3318?" He added, "it just makes sense to give the

first responders at Oregon's universities the training and tools

necessary to complete their mission of protecting life and property." 

Representative Flores is skeptical as to whether HB 3318 will actually

get a hearing on Friday. Monday is the deadline for House Bills to have

hearings in House Committees. She has evidence the Governor asked for a

delay on HB 3318 because he wanted to make an announcement about his new

campus security taskforce and allow some time to pass after the incident

in Virginia. "We don't need another taskforce in state government. We

need to act now to beef up security at our school campuses in Oregon,"

said Flores. She has been a member of the House Judiciary Committee for

the past two legislative sessions and Chair of the House Education

Committee 2005-2006.

Ok Back To Blogging

Ok I stopped blogging for a short time, unannounced to see if this site was getting clicks even when I did nothing.
I am happy to say that the results are positive.

I guess I’m narcissistic

A couple of things.

I’ve been avoiding anything to do with the Virgina Tech. shootings.
I see it fairly simply, it’s not a pro/anti gun issue, that evil bastard should have pulled the trigger on himself first.

Next

This story makes me wonder if they would also take a Get Out Of Jail Free card from Monopoly.
Kentucky uses a fax Oregon just uses a revolving door.

H/T to the Rott

Harry Reid, I hope the shark he tried to jump didn’t choke. that would be a shame.

Nancy (I’m really the President) Pelosi, Maybe we could talk Iran into keeping her, Syria wouldn’t keep her but there is always hope.

Finally; Imus, he’s a bigot, and not all that funny at that. Oh and quit pointing at the rappers as an example and excuse for bad behaver. Pointing to others doesn’t excuse ones own.

I think that does it for now. We’ll see.
