EMPY1 commented on the blog post Three Step Plan to Completely Fix the Judicial Crisis
You are assuming they actually want the problem fixed. Based on the fact that they know the same rules you have stated, and CHOOSE not to use them, then the only answer is they don’t want the problems fixed.
When they began the new session with no rules changes, they showed their cards. Gridlock means never having to do your jobs, make hard choices or take responsibility.

“I assume your intemperate comments are based on a forged memo that misrepresents our efforts in the area of global warming research education, so let me explain before demanding an apology.”
Nope! It’s based on your little stink tanks entire body of work. Millions of Koch bucks burned at the alter of fake controversy, pseudo-science and intellectual dogshit.

EMPY1 commented on the blog post Heartland Affair and Climategate Share Common Thread: Always Blame the Climate Scientists
The NY Times was censoring the comments to Andrew Rivkins opinion piece on this this morning. They would not allow any comment that mentioned Rivkin being exposed by these documents as a friendly Heartland conduit. My comment that just mentioned the Climategate issue were posted, but not the others.
Now all the comments have been deleted and commenting is closed.

EMPY1 commented on the blog post Romney And Pangloss
O has been gifted this clown show on purpose so he may continue his mission from the “left” to expand the MIC to previously unthinkable levels. Then the right can bring in Petraeus to play with all the new toys.
Who knows how many foreign entanglements we will be in by the time our next great military President takes the helm. Who better than someone that has failed at nearly every mission he was given. I can see him failing upward all the way to the CIC with our crack media feeding paving the way.

Isn’t that the same guy who played the female body builder Vera Demillo on In Living Color in the 80′s? He looks great.

EMPY1 commented on the diary post NPR Does Fluff Piece for Private Equity by Dean Baker.
Don’t forget the hundreds of millions in “Management” fees the purchased company has to pay to the Private Equity firm for the priviledge of being raped.

EMPY1 commented on the blog post US Drones Keep Falling Out of the Sky
F22 Raptor
The $153 million (that’s the official number, the actual after retrofits for problems is much higher) averages a critical failure for every 1.7 hours flown. It is not used in combat because it’s to unreliable, and yet they forced us the buy 183 of them.

The entire fighter jet program has been a huge suck.

The f-22 Raptor, that cost twice as much as the f-35, is the one that has problems in the rain.

EMPY1 commented on the blog post Leave The Gun, Take The Hard Drive
“The move during the final weeks of Romney’s administration was legal but unusual for a departing governor, Massachusetts officials say”
It was only legal if copies of all the information was archived with the state records keeping office. You are not allowed to wipe all your records clean when leaving office.
Also, if the state property wasn’t put up for sale at public auction, then those sales are also not legal.
Maybe some reporters should be digging a little deeper and a certain state AG should be investigating possible charges.

EMPY1 commented on the blog post WaPo Front-Page Journalistic Malpractice on Social Security Draws Backlash
You don’t make the front page by being honest and accurate. You make the front page by writing what the overloards want to read. This is also how you secure a position at a Kock/Peterson/DeVos think tank.

Now St. Pat gets to pass the failure buck again. What are his accomplishments again in Iraq/Afghan that earn him a promotion?
It figures. The CIA needs more F-up’s in charge.

EMPY1 commented on the blog post The State of the Tax Cut Deal
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t it take just one lone Senator to block the unemplyment insurance extension during the summer? Wasn’t it Jim Bunning who held the entire Senate hostage until the extension was paid for?
Why yes it was.
Why can’t Bernie be afforded the same courtesy?

If this treatment was preventative, were the guards treated as well?
