Scary Crazy Wingnuts
Can’t make this shit up
You gotta love these gun nuts: Q: Can I carry a loaded gun in the gun show? I have a Concealed Carry Permit. A: We respectfully request that you do not bring any loaded firearm into the gun show. Safety is our Number One Priority, and a safe environment in the show can only be maintained if there are no loaded guns in the show. Bookmark It

Phrase of the month: stealth recall
For you scholars out there: To which circle of hell would Dante’s god have assigned corporate chiefs who put on the market — and then don’t take proper steps to recall — tainted, potentially lethal “medicine?” More here. Bookmark It

Forgive me, but, isn’t this called BEATING A DEAD HORSE THAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT?
Bill Daley is in favor of gonorrhea? Drip, drip. Whistle blowers, he hates?
Sorry. I’m confused and have a very bad attitude.

I don’t understand why bmaz assumes that Daley is talking about leaking classified information (as opposed to info that is not legally required to be secret but just hasn’t been publicized yet). the vast majority of leaks are the latter–stuff like leaks about the administration’s stance in closed door meetings with congressional leaders. that stuff isn’t classified, but it is not publicized… until it leaks out.
nothing in the Daley quote itself suggests that he is willing to leak classified info. it just seems like bmaz is making a bit of a leap

I think the point is that the administration has come down very, very hard on unauthorized leaks.

My animus against Chicago pols dates back to Jimmy Carter. I still remember the way he was fucked over for presuming to be the one chosen by a Dem convention that was NOT controlled by the boys in the back rooms. And ya know, if we can hang on and keep producing leaders like Carter or John Lewis right here in the heart of the South, it can sure as hell be done elsewhere. I’ve been angry so long I’m really useless by now as any sort of spokesperson, but as OWS evolves into something more powerful I am so going to be there doing whatever I can. Honestly, looking at what they’re trying to do to Social Security, I’m surprised there aren’t more geezers at the OWS sites.
