Ward, take it easy on the Beaver.
Spectacular. What great work! Thanks!
Since it's an open thread, I thought that I'd just take the time to share this article from Reason.com
Because the police state is here.
I started checking out Reason.com after watching the interview that Bill Moyers had with the founder of the magazine.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio Wants to Know What Websites You've Visited
Radley Balko | October 19, 2007, 10:42am
If, that is, you've ever read the Phoenix New Times online. The alternative weekly has run several articles over the years critical of the so-called "toughest sheriff in America." But when an investigative piece on a series of questionable Arpaio real estate transactions included the sheriff's home address (possibly violating state law), Arpaio launched an incredibly broad, wide-reaching investigation that looks an awfully lot like retaliation.
Last August, the grand jury investigating the case issued a sweeping, probably unconstitutional subpoena demanding that in addition to reporter notes, drafts or articles, and internal memos, the New Times also turn over:
A) which pages visitors access or visit on the Phoenix New Times website;
B) the total number of visitors to the Phoenix New Times website;
C) information obtained from 'cookies,' including, but not limited to, authentication, tracking, and maintaining specific information about users (site preferences, contents of electronic shopping carts, etc.);
D) the Internet Protocol address of anyone that accesses the Phoenix New Times website from January 1, 2004 to the present;
E) the domain name of anyone that has accessed the Phoenix New Times website from January 1, 2004 to the present;
F) the website a user visited prior to coming to the Phoenix New Times website;
G) the date and time of a visit by a user to the Phoenix New Times website;
H) the type of browser used by each visitor (Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Netscape Navigator, Firefox, etc.) to the Phoenix New Times website; and
I) the type of operating system used by each visitor to the Phoenix New Times website."
After the special prosecutor in the case attempted to arrange a possibly-illegal ex-parte meeting with the grand jury and the judge, the New Times decided to publish the contents of the grand jury subpeona, explaining at the time that doing so may well get the paper's editors arrested.
It did. Arpaio had the paper's executive editor and CEO arrested last night.

Cool.
It's not considered blogwhoring, if it isn't your own blog, right?
If that's the case, then let me just say that the new Mr.Drink Water 'toon is up, it's not only a doozie, but an updating of an old classic, as well, that I'm sure would get the Tim Robbins and Mike Malloy seal of approval.

Wall Street celebrates the '87 crash with another one. Latest on our accidental armed nuke shipment faux pas. For once, people are held accountable. (For now...) The Afghani insurgents are doing a big chunk of their business through opium.

Oh, hi Eddie.
Sorry, tapes=e-mails. I wonder why I confused him with Tricky Dick for a sec...
I'd take the Beaver over Bush any day!
Heh - is calling Kucinich the most Canadian candidate out there an insult?
Rush tries to sell his hate mail for the sake of making up for his comments. But he'll always be a draft-dodging chicken-hawk at heart.
The few Germans left defending Hitler sound suspiciously similar to the "values" voters who are still defending Bush.
Tequila @ 15:
Suspiciously similar, yes, though not identical. At least those folks in Germany mostly admit that the Nazis' genocide and wars were bad things.
Funny how a low crime rate was listed as one of the good things under National Socialism. Good grief!
Tequila @ 15:
Good catch.
Both these modern day German 25%ers, and their cousins, our pin-headed, American "values" voters, might want to read this first, before they go off extolling the "virtues of family."

Tequila @ 14:
Money from the auction will go to the Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation.
Foundation formed by former Marines and law enforcement personnel who strongly believe the nation's most precious resource is its youth. Nothing really to do with soldiers as Rush would have you belive by claiming it's a donation to one of the Marines charities. And call me cynical but that "most precious resource" concern makes me think of Foley.
Excellent. This short, educational film strip really sent the message out there.
Kucinich for President.
I never would have guessed that June and Ward were Dems. It's too bad that Beaver didn't really say anything this intelligent before. He would be on Mount Rushmore now, you know the place where they wanted to add the head of Ron the Hun.

Instead of endless illegal wars benefiting Republican criminals and corporate cronies we need a Department of Peace.

On its face it looks contradictory, yes, but please consider that in a Police State environment, not only are political dissidents pursued, but criminals as well.

Someone did a wonderful job on that video. Please make sure they are recognized and thanked for their efforts.
cleo @ 20:
Actually rumor has it Ward worked for the CIA. Ever notice how he went to work at "The Office" but never discussed what he did for a living? In case you did not know, the guy who played Eddie Haskel ended up on the California Hiway Patrol, The Beave became a real estate agent. I forget what happened to Wally except i think i saw him in a really bad movie once.
Didn't Eddie Haskel grow up to be David Addington?
Too bad that Beave and family are in custody down in Gitmo now.
stargazer @ 21:
Jimmy Carter started one. The first thing Ronald Reagan did after inauguration was he had the solar panels Greenpeace donated and installed on the roof of the White House ripped down. The second thing he was he abolished the Department of Peace.
VegasRage @ 7:
Agreed. They should use "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" ...any scene with Maynard.
Dustin de Wynde @ 22:
Oh, of course. I know what they meant.
And, sure, if the population is in constant fear of being imprisoned or killed simply for displeasing their leaders, I would imagine a good many more would obey the law than might otherwise be inclined to do so. If the leaders are ruthless criminals, the population can be subdued (for a while, at least). I didn't perceive a bald-faced contradiction, but bone-chilling irony.
xoites defends Constitution @ 27:
You're kidding? Geezus... can always count on you for some excellent information! Thanks xiotes!
xoites defends Constitution @ 27:
Who leaked that to you. That is classified information.
Isome @ 30:
No, i am not kidding. And no, Ron, it is not classified.
If it was happening now, it would be.
Regardless of how you come down on the reparations issue (slavery), I deducted points from Kucinich for quoting the bible in his justification for being for it during one of the debates.
seevee @ 34:
Being for reparations, i presume you mean. So am i, by the way.
xoites defends Constitution @ 35:
Yes. As far as reparations, how would that work? Do you know?
xoites defends Constitution @ 32:
You can't just put this kind of inflammatory information out there w/out consequences. ;-) Personally, I'm now doubly angry at the ridiculous kid glove treatment given Ronnie "I forgot" Reagan's legacy.
I am for reparations to the descendants of slaves. I am for reparations to the present day slave wager. I am for reparations to to our Constitution. I am for reparations to the Iraqi people. I think the 1% of the population who own 48% of the entire world's wealth are the ones who should make these and other reparations.

Word. Kucinich wasn't just speaking of reparations for African-Americans, but for the poor in our country and every country we've ruined. Rather than blame the Iraqis like the top-tier Dems, Kucinich actually believes we owe the Iraqis for our damages. I believe he also supports the notion that Israel ought to pay reparations to the Lebanese and Palestinians.
Hi, Manila, Ron and Isome. Nice to see you all here tonight. :)

Ah yes, the 1%ers. I got mine. You get yours.

By the way, here's a good little article on what Xoites was saying about Reagan and the solar panels.
Thanks for the support again folks. Any pro-Kucinich bloggers should contact me at my blog or at The 35 Percenters if you'd like to be on our blogroll and part of the group. We need as many allies as possible.

Oh, that! That is just how you would sound if we were listening to what you said back in 1961.
Manila Ryce @ 40:
Whenever I hear a Democrat say something about 'the Iraqis need to take responsibility' or 'the Iraqis need to step up', it just drives me batty!!
xoites defends Constitution @ 54:
That was when you could depend on the media to report the news.
Isome @ 53:
The only problem i have with that article is that it says the solar panels were taken down in 1986. They were gone in Febraury 1980.
By the way, Nancy Reagan's first act after her senile husband became President was to turn Amy Carter's bedroom into a walk in closet so she had a place to put all the designer originals she was given every month.
xoites defends Constitution @ 57:
Are you sure it wasn't Feb 1981?
Isome @ 55:
Yeah, I concur. Our country somehow installed into the Oval Office an orangutan who blew up a country about whose people he understood nothing, and then commanded them at gunpoint to govern themselves. When they try, and the orangutan doesn't like what they do, they're not allowed to do it anymore.
And now, for the Democrats even to suggest that the Iraqi people as a whole are culpable for the plight the U.S. has reigned down upon them is beyond disgusting.
One more antectdote: Mother Teresa went to the White House but refused to eat dinner with them. She told the Reagans, "I never eat with people who have never been hungry."
Yes, sorry, thanks for the correction.
My appologies to "anecdote." I have butchered few words as brutally.
xoites defends Constitution @ 62:
Yeah, me to. sometimes I forget. Ella hummers I guess.
I would like to discuss what happened to the Village Voice today.

I heard this on the news today and it astounded me.
Since this is an open thread, perhaps someone can answer me why the Democratic leadership is so intent on cooperating with this administration instead of standing up to it's corruption?
Kudos to Pete Stark and Chris Dodd for having the balls that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi don't.

Yes, this is amazing is it not? But this is nothing new for this fellow...in his reelection the last time, he put out an inflamatory article about his opponent days before the election that has been proven false and his opponent even won a court case against this vileness... thank goodness, Arpaio's opponent plans to run against him again....
But what can you expect from a guy who bought a tank... that's right, I said a tank...for the state, and who rides in it on a flatbed truck in the New Year's parade every year? you guessed it....Arpaio.
Guys I'm really being screwed with, by a right wing blogger.. I need some help. This guy called my house 12:30a.m. threatened me and crap... I need some support.
Ron @ 67:
Can they reelect these positions?
LibertyLover @ 69:
I guess i am thinking that the Village Voice has some balls to stand up to this, but i am wondering how many have been subpeonied and have quietly complied?

Chuck Adkins @ 70:
You know, you should not go around threatening people.
If you feel in danger call the police.
Chuck Adkins @ 70:
Call the police. And your phone company. Phone threats violate terms of service. Threatening people is illegal. If he did it from another state, call the FBI. If he calls you again, tape it. If you have a messaging service, keep any messages he leaves you.
Don't let him rile you. Don't react to his shit if he calls again. He's a pussy, a fuckwit and a coward.
That's reprehensible.
LibertyLover @ 71:
I don't know, but it would be a good idea.
"No, I don’t plan on causing this man any trouble at all. He just pissed me off, especially after calling my house after 12:30 at night."
You should cause him trouble. LEGAL trouble. And take his personal info off of your site. That just makes matters worse. and if he sends you THREATENING EMAILS forward them to the FBI. These asshats are all over "the rule of law" Give him a taste of it, and do not respond to him any more.

Here's what you do. You keep on doing what you were doing to get them on your case, and eventually they'll stop threatening you because they know that their attempt won't be successful. Their attempt is to silence you, not threaten you.
xoites defends Constitution @ 72:
Well, the sherriff is very intimidating... I wouldn't be surprised... but good on the reporters... one of whom was still in jail as of this morning...most sane people around here think he is just a media attention whore, but there are a whole lot of people that support him down here... I can't think why...
I'll post another story about this man in a minute...

Real American heros.
Stanley Rosenthal @ 79:
You've got to remember, they are the cowards.
Stanley Rosenthal @ 79:
Stanley, i would take that advice. Basically because i am half crazy, don't give a shit and i understood a long time ago that convictions take some courage. The thing is, i would never give it.
xoites defends Constitution @ 78:
No.
> You’ve got to remember, they are the cowards.
What's funny, what they're most afraid of is words.
miss_kitty @ 84:
You, i can always count on. :)
His latest foray into the news was about a month ago a police officer who accidently left his police dog in the car all day in the Arizona heat at his home after they got off duty. Not surprisingly, this police dog/officer who was in the care of this police officer passed away from the heat of the car...
The police officer felt horrible and it was all over the news for days... a real tragedy. A few days later, Arpaio arrests the office for animal cruelty or some such thing... most people saw it for what it was, just a way for Arpaio to get his name in the paper again.
The kicker was, everyone remembered the name of the dog that passed away, when at the same time, there was a small child that was left in a car accidently a few weeks before that and no one remembered her name...
People are so amazing sometimes.
xoites defends Constitution @ 83:
I'm a "Call the cops" kind of gal for shits like that, but I think your advice is very good too.
Chuck has some different paths from which to choose.
xoites defends Constitution @ 86:
Thanks! :P
LibertyLover @ 87:
It is what the media (and the people who manipulate it) put in our faces that is most remembered. Of course 15 minutes later there is something else, something more pressing for us to get excited about.
The problem with the call the cops thing, is figuring out what cops you need to call. I guess if it's a local calling the person, the local cops will do. But if it's an internet stalker stalking via e-mail (which also is transmitted by a phone system in many cases (used to be *all* cases)) verses phoney calls? Probably the FBI would be the agency to call. And I'm not against also doing that as part of the solution (though in my case(s) when it happened to me, that wasn't nec.)
I think you could have stopped right there.
Stanley Rosenthal @ 91:
I think it is fair to treat this one on probability. Either the guy wil or the guy won't follow through on his threats. He is an unknown so our best odds are 50/50. Not so good. You call the FBI his odds of attacking you go down. You do not have to shut up after calling the FBI. Calling the FBI does other things. It makes this known to law enforcement. A very good thing. It may prevent a crime against someone else.
You don't call the FBI your odds stay the same. You can still talk but what you say may egg this perp on. You have no way of knowing if this guy is going to show up. In fact you have no way of knowing that if they find your dead body somewhere that they will even have a motive.
Call the FBI.
Xoites, you've convinced me to chance my stance from "I'm not against calling the FBI in addition to my recommendation" to "Call the FBI in addition to my recomendation".
I just wish some people would go over there and give him a dose of his own medicine.
Or at least a stage a DOS attack... :lol:
Stanley Rosenthal @ 94:

Chuck Adkins @ 95:
Chuck Adkins @ 96:
No, no, no, no!
I leave hornet's nests alone as a general rule.
It's also a 2 wrongs don't make a right situation. Just because they're so low as to attempt the intimidation like that, doesn't mean that we should also do that. The only excuse for lowering our standards is to only lower them enough so that they can understand you.
You call the phone company for phone threats or people playing silly buggers on the phone. It's in your phone book with the appropriate law, sentence range and fine amounts. It's a crime. They'll sort it.
It's basic and simple. If you are threatened and feel you are in danger, the police are who you call. They'll direct you if they feel they are not the correct agency.
Stanley Rosenthal @ 99:
I would like to point out, Stan, that Mr. Atkins here threatened the other guy first.
Although i think my advice is sound it is directed more towards everyone else.
Chuck Adkins @ 95:
The cops and a court of law would fuck him up good. And he'd probably shit his pants, too, in the bargain. No one should waste any of their life on doing time over this guy. That's what the police are for.
Also, look into terms of service for his blog and email. Keep his email. If he's violated terms of service, his ISP might shut him down.
Fight fire with legal fire.
Staging dos attacks are extra legal. keep legal.
LibertyLover @ 87:
Isn't obvious?
From the spate of dog stories, ranging from Romney to Vick to Helmsley to DeGeneress, (that the year 2007 has been a chock-a-block with), and, with the electronic crucifixion of one Graeme Frost, along with the SCHIP veto, one thing stands out, and is abundantly, crystal clear.

Hmm, the same phone companies (I have to keep this plural (and not name by 3 letter name) so I won't break my TOS and lose my current ISP) that illegally wiretap us???? I have a feeling that some of these companies (except Qwest) have the same kind of investigative qualities as Alberto Gonzoles' justice system.
miss_kitty @ 103:
Once again i would like to point out that Mr. Atkins threatened a "hit" on this guy first. Not a good idea to say the least. Now he is asking people who frequent this site to attack him. Who here is the victim? Is it Mr. Atkins? Is it the guy who threatened him? Or would it be someone who comes here and ends up doing something foolish and illegal?
Chuck, I don't want that nutbag to end up with my IP... Sorry.

today, tv-links, a site that posted links to tv shows, movies, etc that are streaming on the web (mostly illegally) was shut down and the owner arrested
"Sites such as TV Links contribute to and profit from copyright infringement by identifying, posting, organizing, and indexing links to infringing content found on the internet that users can then view on demand by visiting these illegal sites," said a spokesman for Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) today.
excuse me??
posting links is now covered under anti-piracy laws?
does that mean if i (and i have) linked to tv-links or other linking sites, i too am guilty and the man can come crashing through my door at any time?
how about us linking to youtube vids that are in violation?
and when will the corporate media get it? this is a brave new digital world
people dont want to watch tv when you tell them
they dont want to pay 13 bux for a substandard movie and 5 bux for a moldy box of popcorn...when they can get most of their entertainment at home, when they want it...and can make pocorn for about 50 cents
and when will they get it that when they shut one site down....dozens more pop up to take its place
my god, there are sites that now charge for the ability to see their links....tv-links was free, and maybe making a pittance on some advertising
the revolution is being streamed through broadband....but the old media aint paying attention
Chuck, Xoites has leveled a charge at you. What's your side of the story?
xoites defends Constitution @ 106:
yeah, I did it, and I feel stupid for it. :( He came and left a comment on my blog, just looking for trouble. and I told him off in Private e-mail. The "hit" crap was B.S. I do have family in Georgia. But I'm no damn mafia guy. Yeah, he's a nutball alright though. Calls my damn house at 12:30 at night.
I have, however, decided to not Blog about Politics as much, and I cutting back on Blogging time, Mon-Fri at best. If I do, it's going to be about other stuff, besides Politics. I was getting tired before this happened. I never could get anyone to comment on my site, just idiots who want to start trouble. :(
Anyhow, there's your answer.
-Chuck
P.S. Sometimes, I wish I'd never started Blogging.
> Or, you could always suggest the watch “Southern Comfort.”
Kind've hard to show a movie to a phone stalker calling you. But I do have another suggestion, the receiver of the stalking could feed in this song instead (or better, rotate the two songs) of 'Phoney Calls' -
http://technohippie.com/geeklog/public_html/mediagallery/media.php?s=200...
Mr. Adkins, I fear that in a moment of weakness, you did a very foolish thing...you emailed him first and also used profanity in your email ...and certainly threatening this guy first only added to your foolishness. Although I love yanking a LGF'rs chain every now and again...why don't you consider letting this one go and consider it a lesson learned?
And either learn the art of arguing without the profanity-laced diatribes or learn the art of ignoring the idiot when you know that he is yanking your chain.
But I do agree, that if you feel your life is in danger, then by all means call the police.
Chuck -
> yeah, I did it, and I feel stupid for it.
It sounds like you fell into their trap. And their trap is to lure you into lowering yourself down to their level. What can only be done about it now, is to learn from the mistake, for the better.
Chuck Adkins @ 118:
If you think people never comment on your site then check out mine. LOL :)
I think you should apologize to this guy for threatening him and blog away. If he calls you again with threats then you should call the FBI. My reference to Southern Comfort (above) had to do with it's moral: "Don't Fuck with people!"

That "The Syncopated Clock" song on your website is oddly catchy and is now clicking away in my brain. Out of curiousity, what is the content of your site? Are those your musical creations?

The letters posted to Iranian Jews, our sources report, are not signed; they were postmarked from different towns in America and Europe and from private addresses so as not to raise the suspicions of Iranian security services.

That's good to know. I'm a bit of a music freak myself but it seems only a humble novice in comparison. If any of y'all are into checkig out new sounds, I just finished a cover of the Prince song "When Doves Cry" A sort of electro-rock/pop/new-wave/techno/metal fusion sound. It's just for fun since I could never afford the licensing fees for the lyrics but it turned out pretty cool and would love any feedback.

As of two days ago my father told me that he too will be voting for Kucinich in the primary though unfortunately being from Michigan it looks like our votes won't be counted anyhow. Blow me DNC!
And I thought the DCCC Was the Republican wing of the Democratic party.
Stup, When Doves Cry sounds great!!!! Excellent production, engineering, etc.
This is worth watching. Enjoy.

Interesting, but I'm of the notion that playing nice politics is still politics. It's simply immoral not to impeach war criminals as thousands more continue to die. If your hand is slapped back every time you offer an olive branch then do something different for once and listen to your constituents.
LibertyLover,
The other video is great too. It's alarming that the executive branch can define it's own legal limits. Sounds a bit anti-democratic to me, but I'm just a petty wretch so who am I to argue their expertise.

No. Leroy Anderson. Not famous by name, but you'd recognise his tunes...

Miss Kitty,
The link to your website seems to be malfunctioning. I just get an "error" message when I click on it.

I had always thought that Mancini was the composer of James Bond's theme as well... until I recently found out that it was none other than Lalo Schifrin - the incredible talent behind the Mission Impossible theme music.
...and speaking of Mission Impossible, I watched an episode from season 1 last week titled Shock in which a youngish Sorrell Booke (the future Boss Hogg of The Dukes of Hazard) had plans on using a foreign agent to assassinate a US envoy whose last name was Wilson... The REAL scary thing about it was how much Sorrell Booke looked like Karl Rove.
It first aired in 1967... Scary that the bad guys are looked on with admiration and awe by the 24%ers now and we have nothing but jellyfish to represent us.
The cause of the first revolution was "taxation without representation", will the next be due to presentation without representation?

Whatever all that stuff means. Honestly. There's a whole new language that keeps me running to the Urban Dictionary, or just plain scratching my head, and sometimes I catch on after seeing it in context long enough. Blogwhore doesn't sound good-- yikes. (I speak English.) ;) Anyhow, I liked the cartoon. It had feeling to it; eerie feeling. Thanks for doing whatever it is you did. ;)
