shenebraskan commented on the diary post Rachel Maddow “Trolls” for John Edwards by firebagger.

Agree with you. John Edwards is now some example of “the worst of the worst” in politics. How did this happen? Adultery is a mess, but how can one believe that his whole campaign was a big lie? Bill Maher had some good jibes at the whole “sex scandals disqualify you from the presidency” meme [...]

I hate the speech, but I agree with AD Tom Osborne and Head Coach Bo Pelini that he has the right to express his opinions. If his opinions extended to the performance of his job; for example, discriminating against an openly gay football player, then that might be a different situation.

In a world where Muslims are being incarcerated for linking to YouTube videos expressing support for Al Quaeda, I think a little more caution is in order. Didn’t the ACLU defend the Nazi party march in Skokie, Illinois, home to many Holocaust survivors?

Please share with us your incredible expertise as to how to avoid the “Eye of Mordor” being constructed at Bluffdale, UT.

More than happy to encrypt myself, if someone could just explain how to do so.

And then, when do I emerge from the concrete bunker???

Nice nom de plume. Vonnegut is missed.

I used to think that Leahy was one of the good guys, back in the day when Bush ruled the world. WTF?

The tumbleweeds are in my alley, up against the fence. We have a saloon or two here, also.

Lived in SW Colorado for nearly 20 years and go back from time to time. Mancos is lovely. Hope Millwood Junction is still in business.

Greatly admire your “Occupy Movement.” Need to find a partner, or partners, and get something going in western Nebraska.

Kevin,

You are doing stellar work. You are on the lines with the Occupy folks, reporting the Bradley Manning case, and posting intelligent and insightful information such as contained above.

Thanks!

So why has it taken 3 years for the Obama administration to wake up? Could it possibly be that they don’t CARE about any of this? Holder’s late entry into the fray in South Carolina will not be decided before the 2012 general, according to Mike Pappintonio who was subbing for Ed Schultz on his [...]

I would rather write in any of my cats (and I have several,) than vote for Obama again. I think they have personal integrity.

That was absolutely beautiful.

There was a story a few days ago about how to spot a psychopath. Saying “uh” or “um” a lot was one of the tells. I immediately thought of Obama, when not on the teleprompter.

Helen, I thought you were over-reacting to the changes at Salon, but you may be right. I had relatively few problems re-establishing my user name and password at Salon, but tonight was unable to reply or post. I was required to login and accept policies and procedures, or whatever the terminology was. However, when I [...]

David Sirota has the morning show on AM 760 in Denver. He is not an Obama cultist. And you can listen online (am760.net 7-10 am MT). I am a little conflicted about Thom Hartmann, who is brilliant on economics. I do not catch much of his show, but he seems very much in the “I [...]

Please forgive the stupidity of this question. I must have been sleeping during the time this started. How was mountaintop removal ever permitted, ever, anywhere, for any reason? Did it start under Clinton?

I have had comments censored as well, and while I still look at some stories, and read comments for the overall tone, I no longer attempt them myself.

Very surprised that you would be censored, as you have, IMHO, very high visibility and credibility. I am proud to be in your company.

I turned to the internets to find out if anyone was as disillusioned as I was, by about March 2009. I also thought I was the only one, and, like you, was an Edwards supporter. I believed he would have challenged the oligarchy/plutocracy, but we will never know that for sure. The last politician who [...]

I am thrilled and thankful to have found so many kindred spirits reponding to this post. I am DONE with Obama. Not sure what I will do in 2012, but voting for him is not on the list.

I hope many of you will join me on February 16 unregistering from the Democratic Party. I have always been a registered Democrat, but no more.

Behind that camera is a studio audience, not a laugh track. Ferguson mocks them endlessly, along with the warm-up comedian. Thanks for posting this clip, Jane. I laughed out loud when I saw it “live.”

Excellent comments, and I completely agree with you, right down to not being able to watch or listen to Obama, video or live.
