Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm moving to San Diego today. What's so great about it is that I can do things in LA but not have to live there.


DeLay's Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy
Tom Delay is whining that Ronnie Earle coordinated his indictment strategy with prominent Congressional Democrats like Nancy Pelosi. His evidence: zero, zip, nada.

This isn't the first time DeLay accused prominent Democrats of ratfucking. When it turned out that Henry Hyde and other Congressional Republicans had engaged in "youthful indiscretions," against all evidence, DeLay accused the Clinton White House of being behind the whole thing and called for an FBI investigation. "I just don't have the evidence to prove it," DeLay said of his innuendo that Sidney Blumenthal was behind the revelations.


Thursday, September 29, 2005


Google Bombing Karma
It seems that DeLay was doing a bit of projection yesterday when he referred to Ronnie Earle, the prosecutor who indicted him, as an "unabashed partisan zealot." Let's us the power of the Google bomb to bite DeLay in the ass.

1. Copy and paste the following to your web site or on an internet bulletin board:

<a href="http://tomdelay.house.gov/">unabashed partisan zealot</a>

The result will look like this:

unabashed partisan zealot

Note: I included this on the Google Bomb Blog


Where's The Outrage?
The real Pardongate.


Succinct Article
Read Ezra Klein.

Good News From Danny Goldberg about Air America Radio
Click here. If you're not familiar with Air America Radio, you can listen to it online.


Media Matters on Faux News' Andrew Napolitano
Click here. Blast from the past: I spoke with Napolitano a while ago; the headline is fair: Napolitano is a tool.


Blunt, Baby
Okay, Okay, so Roy is a totally corrupt hack. But you gotta love the last name.


Make Up Your Mind, Wingnut: Is It "Democrat" or "Democratic"?
The teaser for this WorldNetDaily (run by Joseph Farah) story is "DeLay declares: "'I am innocent!': Probe by Democrat [sic] prosecutor leads to GOP leader's indictment." However, the story itself contains the following sentence: "DeLay, who denies committing any crime, contends the Democratic district attorney leading the probe, Ronnie Earle, has political motives."

I'm referring to the habit of wingnuts using the word "Democrat" as an adjective when they should be using the word "Democratic." While it's wrong to use "Democrat" as an adjective, is it too much to ask for a little consistency?


More Laughs: Wingnut Conspiracy Theorist Blogger On The DeLay Indictment
Someone calling himself/herself "the astute blogger" did this rant. I love it when A BLOGGER SHOUTS AT ME! In his (her?) own words:

Delay was indicted in TRAVIS County Texas. For conspriacy [sic].

This is the same county that the fake BUSH TANG documents came from. . .

COINCIDENCE!? Hardly.

The Dem Travis county DA is a partisan hack, and the trumped up indictment (which took forever to arm-twist out of the Grand Jury - a normally pliable bunch - even though it is for conspiracy, which is well-known to be a charge of last resort becasue [sic] it is so easy to indict for) a WILD abuse of power.


This indictment is an outrageous partisan attack which is nothing more than an outrageous ABUSE OF POWER by the Democrat Travis Couty [sic] DA!


Unable to WIN ELECTIONS against the GOP, or to stop Bush's legislative agenda - (brilliantly sheparded through Congress by Delay), the immoral Leftists have reverted to form: abusing the coercive power of the state to attack popularly elected officials. OR SHOULD I SAY ABUSING THE POWER OF THE COURTS! The courts are - as we all know - the last refuge of the Left; it's the only place left they control - because it is NOT directly connected to the electorate - THE PEOPLE!


The Democrat [sic] Party - under the control of the immoral Left and the BDS afflicted - has no values, no policies, no popular mandate, and no shame.


The truth will come out, and when it does, it will be another nail in the coffin of the Left. Thank God. And the sooner the better. . .


Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom Delay has been indicted! I hope this is the first place you found out about this!
The Cosmic Foot of Karma is inserting itself up the corrupt hack's poopchute. This is a great day for democracy.

UPDATE: For a good laugh, read Power Line Blog's Assrocket's lame apologia.

Tolerant Utah
Last week, I mentioned This Divided State , a film about people in a small Utah community who felt so threatened by the prospect of Michael Moore speaking at the local community college that some engaged in Swift Boat-style smears and lawsuits against those who sponsored the event.

Here's how police in Utah dealt with a legal rave.

I believe in karma. Anyone behind these intolerant activities should have to spend the afterlife listening to a continuous loop of The Osmonds' "Utah."


Ohio Stuff
Last week's prediction for last Saturday: Ohio State 20, Iowa 17. Reality: Ohio State 31, Iowa 6. Woo Hoo!

Here's a long article why Election 2005 in Ohio is crucial.


San Diego Here I Come
I live in LA right now but I'm beginning to feel like a tourist here. I leave on Friday. Woo Hoo!


Film I'd Like to See
Screw Flightplan, I want to see Roll Bounce and 2046.


Creepy
The guy sitting next to me on the bus looked like Karl Rove.
I like Tom Tomorrow's caricatures of Rove (e.g., his most recent cartoon).

Heartening Media News
I was listening to LA's John and Ken radio show last night (yeah, yeah, they're fucking dorks but they occasionally get things right). They were discussing the JetBlue airliner that had to make the emergency landing at LAX on Wednesday. They said that they heard that when the plane was in the air, the passengers were watching Fox News about the emergency but didn't take it seriously because it was Fox News. They didn't start panicking until they heard the same thing on MSNBC. John and Ken attributed it to Fox News' sensational approach to the news. I attribute it to the fact that Fox News is a political operation--run by a ratfucking hack--posing as a news network and this cross-section of the American public wasn't buying.


Wisdom
Robert Parry on the need to "shed the old paradigm of normalcy and act with urgency and creativity."


Why Doesn't Jeremy Glick Sue Bill O'Reilly?
O'Lielly is loaded and I think it's an easy slander suit.


What if You Went to a Party and Nobody Threw It?
That's what happened to me Wednesday night. They were holding the premiere for the new Jessica Alba/Paul Walker film Into The Blue and I was stoked. It's a Columbia Picture and Columbia holds the best premiere after-parties in Hollywood (Click here if you're not familiar with my party-crashing antics). Anyhow, I get there and find out that they weren't having an after-party. That sucked. I was thinking about e-mailing someone at Columbia to complain but then I thought about how I'm never invited to their parties that I attend so I didn't. Whatever.

Am I the Only Person Who No Longer Looks at His Junk Mail Folder?
Because I post my e-mail address on this site, I get a shitload of spam. I usually scan my junk mail folder in case an non-spam e-mail appears (fortunately with Yahoo e-mail, that rarely occurs). However, I noticed that in recent weeks, there have been a lot of spams in my junk mail folder from really sick porno sites (the subject headers of the e-mails tell it all). Nowadays, I hit "empty" without even looking. My apologies if your earnest e-mail appears in my junk mail folder.

Great To Hear
John Zogby is considering a poll about public opinion about the prospects of impeaching George W. Bush. Bloggers should start a collection to pay for the poll.


The Paranoid Style in American Politics: Current Example
Click here. Limbaugh suggested something similar about Hillary and Wesley Clark a couple years ago. This man is deranged.


Post in HorowitzWatch
There have been many recent times in which I wanted to take on David Horowitz but I didn't. The man has no soul and he's depressing. I saw a couple articles in Horowitz's online rag and I couldn't help myself. Click here.


Tammany Republicans
Joe Conason:

Now we live under a distorted facsimile of Republican conservatism with an attitude toward government that seems cynical and fundamentally nihilistic. This approach was summed up years ago by the right-wing commander and White House advisor Grover Norquist, when he explained his movement’s long-term objective: “My goal is to cut government in half in 25 years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.”

Before drowning it, however, he and his comrades will pick its pockets.

Led by George W. Bush, today’s conservatives have elevated political patronage from a universal and tolerable peccadillo to a public menace. So intent are they on providing lucrative, comfortable federal jobs to the members of their own gang that they have come to resemble the old clubhouse Democrats of Tammany Hall. (The difference is that Tammany, for all its corruption, provided employment and benefits to the poor, while the Bush White House reserves its patronage for the well-fed and well-heeled.) The result is incompetence slicked over with arrogance and inexperience guided by ideology.

Sharing the outlook of Mr. Norquist, the President has scarcely tried to find capable managers for the federal bureaucracy. He shares the radical right-wing objective of dismantling government institutions rather than managing them properly and effectively. At every level, he appoints loyal hacks who possess no relevant qualifications, so long as they share his anti-government ideology.

This is like putting the termites in charge of repairing the house.


Must Read
If there were 20 Democratic members of Congress who took articles like this seriously and stepped up and did what needed to be done, the entire political dynamics of this nation would be much different.


Weekend Stuff
According to my predictions, both Ohio State and Miami U. won: Ohio State 27, San Diego State 6 and Miami U. 27, Kent State 10.

On Saturday night, after I left the USC game, I crashed a party and met a very compelling woman.

Prediction for the upcoming weekend, Ohio State 20, Iowa 17.

September 28: Miami U. 24, University of Cinncinati 6

Read the Whole Thing but. . .
Here's the part I especially like about Peter Daou's essay on
blogging
:

With a well-developed echo chamber and superior top-down discipline, the right has a much easier time forming the triangle [read the essay to see what Daou mena by "triangle"]. Fox News, talk radio, Drudge, a well-trained and highly visible punditocracy, and a lily-livered press corps takes care of the media side of the triangle. Iron-clad party loyalty – with rare exceptions – and a willingness of Republican officials to jump on the Limbaugh-Hannity bandwagon du jour takes care of the party establishment side of the triangle. The rightwing netroots, therefore, is already working within the triangle on most issues. Their primary strategic aim is to prevent the left from forming its own triangle, as occurred with Katrina. It’s a defensive posture, with the goal being the preservation of the status quo. Which explains why the right is profoundly hostile to dissent and why the pretense to libertarianism is common: “independent thinkers” don’t like to be seen as defending the powers that be.

The triangle construct also explains rightwing bloggers’ relentless attacks on the “MSM” and on anyone who contends that the media is conservative. In a nation dominated by shrill rightwing voices, with all branches of government in the hands of Republicans, and an ineffectual press corps, the “liberal media” myth is so absurd that it requires no rebuttal. But the right desperately needs to keep the media from doing what they did in the aftermath of Katrina: tell the unvarnished truth. They need to block the left from building the kind of triangle that Katrina generated, where outspoken left-leaning bloggers are joined by leading Democrats and reporters who have no choice but to describe the catastrophic results of Bush’s dismal leadership. The result in Katrina’s case is a major political crisis and a dramatic shift in public perceptions, a body blow to the long-standing conventional wisdom of Bush as a "resolute leader" and a protector.

Whereas rightwing bloggers can rely on their leadership and the rightwing noise machine to build the triangle, left-leaning bloggers face the challenge of a mass media consumed by the shop-worn narrative of Bush the popular, plain-spoken leader, and a Democratic Party incapacitated (for the most part) by the focus-grouped fear of turning off "swing voters" by attacking Bush. For the progressive netroots, the past half-decade has been a Sisyphean loop of scandal after scandal melting away as the media and party establishment remain disengaged.


Hmmm...
Headline at The Raw Story: "Document intended for Rove arrives
on Democrat's fax machine: Developing..."

UPDATE: Here's the story.

God, That is Sick
I just found out by looking at my Sitemeter stats. that someone accessed this site by doing a Google search of "Katherine Harris is babelicious." What is wrong with these people?


Friday, September 16, 2005


Gee, I Wonder Why
I was channel-surfing and just found out by watching Fox News that a Fox News poll found that 42 percent of Americans blamed the inadequate response to Hurricane Katrina on state and local officials and only 29 percent on the federal government. The Fox News skank who reported this didn't provide any explanations such as this, this , this, this, or this.


Football Predictions
Ohio State Buckeyes 40, San Diego State Aztecs 10. Ohio State is pissed off about its close loss to Texas last week and wants to take it out on someone.

Miami University RedHawks 33, Kent State Golden Flashes 20.

Why Not?
I'm a friend of Squip.


Smoking Deaths Way Down This Year
Only 864 Americans have died of smoking-related causes this year so far. Actually not. Due to the citywide power outrage in LA yesterday, one of the consequences is that an anti-smoking electric billboard in Westwood went off; it's one of those signs that tallies the smoking deaths for the year (kind of like the national debt billboard). Every minute or so, another death is added to the tally. So when the power came back on yesterday afternoon, the tally started at one for 2005. So by the time I returned my DVD at Cinefile last night, the smoking death count for the year was 864.

On the topic of smoking, last night on the way to Cinefile, a guy asked me for a light. I gave him one and he gave me six dollars. I refused but he insisted.

Where Was I When The Lights Went Out in LA?
I was goofing off on the internet at my job. The power outage didn't affect me much.


Paul Waldman Wrote This So That I don't Have To
I was about to write a tongue-in-cheek post on how conservative Orange County is a radical breeding ground. Paul Waldman beat me to the punch.


This from a "Real American"?
Glen Beck is one of those right-wing radio jocks who thinks that he and his ilk have a monoploy on American values (he's the author of The Real America: Messages From The Heart and Heartland). Do the following statements sound as if they come from a real heartland American? Media Matters transcribes; you decide:

Let me be real honest with you. I don't think anybody on talk radio -- I don't think anybody in their right mind is going to say this out loud -- but I wonder if I'm the only one that feels this way. Yesterday, when I saw the ATM cards being handed out, the $2,000 ATM cards, and they were being handed out at the Astrodome. And they actually had to close the Astrodome and seal it off for a while because there was a near-riot trying to get to these ATM cards. My first thought was, it's not like they're going to run out of the $2,000 ATM cards. You can wait! You know, stand in line. Maybe it's because I'm the kind of guy, when I go to a buffet, I either have to be first in line, or I'm the very last. Because I know there's going to be extra food, and I just won't stand in the line. I'll wait until all the suckers go get their food, and then I'll go get mine. Or if I'm really hungry, I hate to admit this -- and really, I don't even have to be really hungry. If I'm really being a pig, I will kind of, like, hang out around the buffet table before the line is -- you know, chat with people right around the table: "Oh, they just opened the line! Let's go!" And then you're first in line.

When you are rioting for these tickets, or these ATM cards, the second thing that came to mind was -- and this is horrible to say, and I wonder if I'm alone in this -- you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims' families? Took me about a year. And I had such compassion for them, and I really wanted to help them, and I was behind, you know, "Let's give them money, let's get this started." All of this stuff. And I really didn't -- of the 3,000 victims' families, I don't hate all of them. Probably about 10 of them. And when I see a 9-11 victim family on television, or whatever, I'm just like, "Oh shut up!" I'm so sick of them because they're always complaining. And we did our best for them. And, again, it's only about 10.

But the second thought I had when I saw these people and they had to shut down the Astrodome and lock it down, I thought: I didn't think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims. These guys -- you know it's really sad. We're not hearing anything about Mississippi. We're not hearing anything about Alabama. We're hearing about the victims in New Orleans. This is a 90,000-square-mile disaster site, New Orleans is 181 square miles. A hundred and -- 0.2 percent of the disaster area is New Orleans! And that's all we're hearing about, are the people in New Orleans. Those are the only ones we're seeing on television are the scumbags -- and again, it's not all the people in New Orleans. Most of the people in New Orleans got out! It's just a small percentage of those who were left in New Orleans, or who decided to stay in New Orleans, and they're getting all the attention. It's exactly like the 9-11 victims' families. There's about 10 of them that are spoiling it for everybody.


The Next Film I Will See
It was going to be The Constant Gardener (Meirelles' City of God is my favorite film). But this morning I read an article in LA's Entertainment Today about This Divided State (more information about the film can be found here--plus the film's official site has a blog).


Playboy College Issue
This month's Playboy is a must-read.
There is a great pictorial: The "Girls of the PAC 10" (alas, Hef has not yet taken my advice that I personally gave him to do a pictorial on the women of the Mid-American Conference).

The woman I thought was the hottest was Emelie Starkey of Washington State. What put her on the top of my list was that I like a woman with piercings. Second place was Juliette Rose of UCLA (my living in Westwood didn’t affect my choice). Honorable mentions include Bella Mendez of Oregon, Kate Bradshaw of the University of Washington, Sara Jean of Oregon State, Bella Mendes of Oregon, Jacqueline Daniels of Washington State, Jessica Holiday of USC, Victoria Thornton of Arizona State, Cynthia Popper of Cal.
The pictorial is getting racier each year. Special mention goes to Layla Andrew of Arizona who is shown making out with another babe.

In Other College News, Bad News for My Alma Maters: Contrary to my predictions, both Ohio State and Miami U. lost yesterday: Texas 25, Ohio State 22. Central Michigan 38, Miami 37. That sucked.

UPDATE: To regular readers who think this post is cheesy: hey, whenever I do a post on a Playboy college pictorial, I get a huge spike in hits. What can I say?

I Wish This Wasn't True But It Is
Joe Conason uses the term "unfit to wield power" to describe Bush and his administration. I prefer the term "unfit to command" because it was the term falsely use by Bush's and Rove's surrogates last year to describe Bush's able opponent.


Saturday, September 10, 2005


The Character of George W. Bush
Craig Crawford is succinct:

Hurricane Katrina exposed to the bone what many consider George Bush’s true persona. We’ve seen it all in the past two weeks: his patrician instincts, the seemingly disingenuous posturing and a stubborn refusal to fully take responsibility for what goes wrong.

Friday, September 09, 2005


What Planet is Powerline Blog's Assrocket On?
Assrocket on how Bush and the GOP are poor, defenseless victims:

Here's my point: whatever you think of the mechanics of a particular poll, the direction of President Bush's poll numbers is clear. And it seems clear that Hurricane Katrina, and the outrageous attacks that the Democrats have pursued over the past week, have dealt him, and the Republican Party, another blow. I see no evidence that the Democrats are paying a price for their dishonorable tactics. And they won't pay a price, unless the Republicans start defending themselves and attacking the Democrats the way they deserve to be attacked. The "turn the other cheek" approach that the administration has followed for years--don't respond to attacks, no matter how unfair, just try to ride out the news cycle and move on--has resulted in one needless wound after another, and cumulatively they have now damaged President Bush's standing with the public, likely beyond repair.

Assrocket never heard of Karl Rove?

UPDATE: Hi to all who got here through the link from Buzzflash. Take a peak at my site. I have not been posting much lately because I am moving to San Diego at the end of September. I have some funny stuff on this site-especially the transcripts of my phone calls to right-wing blowhards like Hannity, Limbaugh and O'Reilly. Go to your immediate left to the sidebar "Phone Calls." E-mail me at scoobiedavis77@yahoo.com with comments and feedback. Enjoy and party on!


Read This Article More than Once
Robert Parry knows where it's at. Just one example:

While on the road, I also got a taste of how valuable progressive talk radio could be for arming American liberals with facts and for persuading middle Americans that the nation needs new leadership.

As I drove past New York City, I picked up an Air America Radio station where the hosts explained how Bush’s spending in Iraq had diverted money needed to strengthen New Orleans’ levees and how deployment of National Guard troops in Iraq had undermined the Guard’s ability to respond to the disaster.

What was even more striking was the anger and passion in the voices of Air America listeners who called in from all over the country. They were furious over the national disgrace that was unfolding in New Orleans, as Bush vacationed in Texas and then responded haltingly to the crisis.

But the radio signal of the New York City station faded as I reached upstate New York. The only AM talk radio I could get then was the far more pervasive conservative variety. On those stations, the New Orleans crisis either was treated as not that big a deal or as something to blame on anybody but Bush.


Predictions for Ohio State and Miami U.
Ohio State (Ohio would have been a blue state if all the votes were counted and the GOP didn't cheat) 27, Texas 16

Miami University 35. Central Michigan 20

New Chick Tract!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's called "The Missing Day" and I was disappointed.


Campus Stuff
One of the reasons I haven't blogged much lately is that I'm working in the USC area. The other day, I saw a woman at USC wearing this t-shirt. She was too far away for me to say "Right on."

At USC, the Larouchies, the followers of whacko conspiracy theorist Lyndon LaRouche, had a table on the sidewalk across from the campus. They were blocking the flow of sidewalk traffic so I said, "Hey Larouchies, you're blocking the path of people trying to walk on the sidewalk." One of the Larouchies then asked me if I was a "closet Larouchie." I told him I wasn't because I wasn't the follower of an ex-con nut job. Quick notes: my funniest things about LaRouche: 1) the pamphlet he circulated attacking his then-bete noire Henry Kissinger (in recent years, Dick Cheney has taken Kissinger's place) titled "Kissinger: The Politics of Faggotry";
2) When two LaRouchies won Democratic primaries in Illinois in 1986, a couple of them appeared on CNN's Crossfire. Arnaud de Borchgrave, who at the time was the editor of the Moonie Times, was the guest host (on the right, of course). The LaRouchie guest began referring to de Borchgrave as "Count" and claiming that de Borchgrave was behind myriad conspiracies. It was fun watching the member of one cult slam the representative of another cult.

Football: My previous prediction
: Ohio State 24, Miami U. 12. REALITY: Ohio State 34, Miami of Ohio 14.

As Soon As New Orleans Recovers, I'm Going to Travel There and Fornicate
