        1. my hedgehog Dinsdale, flugelhorn soft rock, and a good backscratch … but enuff w/ the eHarmony crap.

          MarkG just another PeeplePressCollective crap trolling conspiracist.  Likes to tie up threads by throwing bones to keep other posters busy.  

          Poster over @DailyKos perfectly describes the scenario:

          And when I discuss the facts with conservatives in the hopes of having them realize their facts are wrong, the discussion nearly always follows the same pattern:

          conservative: (anti-factual statement)

          me: (factual refutation, with citations)

          conservative: (change of subject, with new anti-factual statement)

          me: (new factual refutation, with citations)

          ….

          conservative: (THE SAME ORIGINAL anti-factual statement, without citations)

          I’m being serious when I say: this is a pattern of thinking that borders on mental illness. Perhaps the only difference is that this way of thinking is mostly chosen, whereas full insanity appears to be more involuntary.

          but maybe that’s what the PPC teaches … how to f*ck up any thread in 3-easy steps (as long as you’re willing to repeatedly play the part of the

          ignorant fool).  Seems GOPCoward, lil’ Chuck Johnson, and other notorious trolls have all adopted the SOP with gusto.  Now adding MarkG to the list …  

  2. A child in Burlington is being held in the murder of his parents. His two younger siblings are in the hospital; at this time no details on how they were hurt are being reported.

    Whether the kid was angry and hurt, or killed, all four members of his family, or if the parents hurt the younger children and the kid felt like he had no other choice, WTF? Sad days ahead for the family and the little town of 3,700.

    1. is it the secretary of states’ office ? If that is the case I don’t see anything happening, but I am wondering if it is some other body that issues the fine…

    2. The law allows the party to seek a waiver for some or all of its fines. Even if the county party convinces the secretary of state to dismiss fines against the second committee that was accidentally created in April, it’s still facing a fine far greater than the $17,500 levy last year against GOP gubernatorial candidate Dan Maes for improper documentation of payments to himself. That’s the largest campaign finance fine ever levied by the Colorado secretary of state.

      In all seriousness, the SoS will most likely dismiss the the double committee and late fines and would regardless of who held the seat. But what about Maes?

    1. And who ever heard of increasing a lead during garbage time? So much fun finally seeing the new super bigs, too and seeing them both score. And really nice to see Forbes able to score during a rare appearance.  Of course it’s just nice to see Forbes period.  What a cutie. And I think they had as many ally oops as they had before in the whole season so far.  And who ever heard of an ally oop to a little point guard? Nene looking great and having fun.  Even JR seems to be making fewer dumb mistakes. And Anderson in double digits?  And making almost all of his free throws?  What’s going on here?

      So happy we made this deal, not the Nets deal.  Love all the new guys and love the old guys unleashed with Melo, a one man Bermuda triangle for the ball, out of the picture. Just hope Afflalo’s ankle isn’t all stiffened up for tonight. Go New Nuggets!

  5. Could Tea Party do for 2012 what Ross Perot did for Clinton in ’92? Could they be the virus that shuts down the Borg from within? Remember when Data did it by using a low security portal to introduce the sleep cycle command?

    Judson Phillips, leader of Tea Party Nation, one of the movement’s largest national groups, expressed his disgust with the GOP’s latest efforts to slash spending Wednesday, claiming that Charlie Sheen was more reasonable than Speaker of the House JohnBoehner

      1. It does sum it all up nicely; TPs think they are omnipotent, but may very well prove to be partially impotent (technically they’ll be doing something useful).

      2. from being part of the Borg, Locutus.  TV series, not movie. They couldn’t break through any critical security but the system that regulated the sleep cycle was low priority.  Sue me, I loved that show and still sometomes watch reruns at 9PM.

  6. ….even if you’re a harmless, nerdy community college student.

    FBI secretly placed a tracking device on the car of 20-year-old Yasir Afifi. When he found it, agents wearing bulletproof vests pulled him over and demanded he return their “property,” which they had secretly placed on his car to spy on him. They refused his requests to speak in the presence of his lawyer.

    Obama administration comments on the suit saying this “tool” is now used “with great frequency” in investigations.

    So if you’re brown-skinned and have a Muslim-sounding name, better check the bottom of your car–just don’t even think about keeping the FBI’s property if they stuck it their against your will and without being able to present any evidence of probable cause, reasonable suspicion, any of that nonsense!

      1. Hadn’t seen it here before though. Good on him for suing, hope he wins.

        The new portion in my post–Obama admin admitting in response to the suit that they do this often.

        My love for Barack knows few bounds (including those of common sense; I just love having a President who can WRITE incredibly well!) but this is something I can’t defend. I can only hope this is a situation where FBI is carrying over prior policies and he will order it halted when he gets around to it, like DOMA enforcement.

    2. “We don’t know what we don’t know,” said Frank Rusco, director of the Government Accountability Office’s natural resources and environment team.

  8. With apologies to Mr. Zimmerman

    Federal jury in Utah convicts environmentalist

    SALT LAKE CITY – An environmentalist has been convicted of making $1.8 million in false oil and gas drilling bids at a federal auction in a case that became a cause celebre among activists and Hollywood stars.

    …He could face as many as 10 years in prison and a fine of $750,000.

    A University of Utah economics student at the time, he offered to cover the bill with an Internet fundraising campaign, but the government refused to accept any of the money.
