Saturday night open line. I have to go out and trim some wheat fields.

The news today includes an analysis of whether Bush could help himself by showing up for the Central High 50th. So far, Bush hasn't committed. But Harold Ford, Tavis Smiley, the Emancipation Proclamation and some guy named Bill Clinton have booked. If you were George Bush, would you like to be compared to that lineup? It could be we'll see Barack Obama and Bill's mizriz, too. Not to mention a full schedule of fussing over the current state of race relations in LR and the US of A.

Also, police say there was another passenger in the car fleeing police when it struck another car Thursday night on Wright Avenue, killing that car's driver, a car salesman on his way home from work. The 21-year-old woman was thrown from the overpass into weeds below and wasn't found until today. Police were told about her Friday night when one of the suspects in the car being chased recovered from injuries enough to talk to police.

Yeah, Mr. Max, sure. What do ya wanna bet we hear from you again before the night is done?

Happy as hell to see Mike Nifong disbarred today. So many young lives he ruined. Prosecutorial abuse and political ambition at its worst.

Duhhhhhhbyuh won't be at the 50th. HE's the one out trimming those wheat fields, so we can invent a new invisible enemy he can protect us from. He'll declare war on some alien race. We'll go there to fight them, so we don't have to fight them here. And they'll never attack our crops again.
Blood for produce vandalism. Mission accomplished. If you don't support this action, you're not supporting our space troops.
You bastards.

I got a chance to see Midsummer Night's Dream at the Shakespeare festival in Conway this weekend. It was a very professional show. Has anyone else had a chance to attend?

How about this? I don't want Bush's ass in Arkansas ever again unless he's being incarcerated in Cummins or Tucker.

I'm not black, but if I were the likes of GWB showing up to honor anything would piss me off to high heaven.

It's well known that Bush has little regard for black people. Lord only knows his true interest in Condi.
If he had been living in LR in 1957 he would have been one of those foul mouthed punks throwing rotten eggs at the black kids.

The Republican Party of Arkansas has besmirched our soil enough trotting these criminals into the state to leave with bags of money from the R-gullible. If we're gonna build a fence, lets build one to keep the likes of Bush-Cheney out of Arkansas.

The 50 year anniversary is a great event, like your Momma told you in high school, don't ruin it by invited the wrong kind of people. This ain't Albania! No Bush! No Bush! No Bush!

Well said, DBI

Jesus F-ing Keerist, Cato.

I looked at the New Hampshire tax-evaders photo, thought of "compound," "cornered" and federal agents == and nightmares of Waco flared up.

glad about midsummer night dream. have tickets tomorrow. saw movie knocked up tonight and it was hilarious. so glad we went to it instead of the kevin costner movie about the serial killer.

Well...kids...we've finally gone to hell in a handbag

Friday June 15, 2007
According to a Capitol Hill newspaper, police are unable to solve the mystery of the "caca caper."

"Usually, if a turd gets into the Senate, it's because he or she was elected," Emily Heil reports for Roll Call. "But on Wednesday, several large piles of actual, nonmetaphorical 'No. 2' found their way into the Capitol, and the source isn't yet clear."

Heil continues, "On Wednesday afternoon, Capitol Police cordoned off a section of the hallway on the third floor of the Senate side of the Capitol, where at least three piles of the stuff were causing a stench - and a stir.

At first, the word circulating among the staff was that a visiting child had fallen ill while in the gallery. But then the prevailing theory was that the foul stuff had come from an adult or group of adults making a yet-to-be-determined political statement."

Sy Hersch has an article up at the New Yorker... It's a must read, imo

at my name

Cato,
Isn't N.H. the "live free or die" state?
Looks like we may get another bag of Waco Chips .

Judge orders domestic surveillance docs public.

"Just one day after a news that an internal audit found that FBI agents abused a Patriot Act power more than 1000 times, a federal judge ordered the agency Friday to begin turning over thousands of pages of documents related to the agency's use of a powerful, but extremely secretive investigative tool that can pry into telephone and internet records."

Bush in L.R.?

"There's going to be an audience because he's the president of the United States, and that's what makes it so important. It is the office itself and the significance of the office," said Miller, who is black. "He may have low approval ratings, but the office itself is so meaningful that the president should come and talk about.." Baxter Bulletin

With due regards to Miller, I would wager an obscene amount that Barrack will draw a larger crowd than the disaster monkey.

Did you see one of the responses--

They tax your telephone, they tax you for watching TV after they collect taxes for buying them both.

They tax your car, they tax you for using your car they tax you for driving your car, they tax you for the gas and ooil that makes your car go. Then, they tax the repairs on the car as well.

They tax your wages, and then they tax your food, and they tax your clothes, and they tax the wages of all the people who sell you these items, driving up the costs of those things 15-39%, before you ever get them.

They tax your employer for taxing you, and drive down your wages because of those taxes. Then they force unemployment taxes, that also drive down the value of your labor, and further reduce your wages.

By the time you get to figure out exactly what you give to the government, after all the price increases caused by immoral taxation, its about 2 cents on the dollar. And guess what, when you go cash your check, and get your paper money, its literally not worth the paper its written on. The government doesnt work the gold standard like our forefathers did, they found a way to fleece the people of these once great United States by making an endless supply of money that has absolutely no value but that of the word of the men and women in congress that allow US Citizens to be betrayed by thier own government.

So, we now can truely say we know what its like to be slaves to a corrupt social system.

DBI points out that we've gone to Hell in a Handbag. I want to know where in Hell that is.

I know how we got here, but now I want to know how to get the Hell out.

I've been looking for a map showing Hell in a handbag. Anybody know where to find it? Maybe it's on one of the maps shown here, but I'm still searching everywhere.

I always thought "Hell" was the destination and "in a handbag" was the mode of travel.

My question is "Who carried the handbag?"
