Verizon has decided to allow shareholders to hold non-binding votes on executive compensation.
Verizon?? The phone company, is going for transparency and responsiveness?????
We are approaching the end of everything….when do cats start sleeping with dogs??? When does that marshmallow guy appear?
But like any good environmentalists, they have have turned to recycling. They gone back to accusations that Hillary is a lesbian.
It appears that the right wingers do not know the difference between a lesbian and a scary woman. While there is an intersection of these groups, it does not approach unity.
Of course, the wankeriffic Mickey Kaus dutifully reports this as a breaking rumor, because, I guess, that he feels honor bound to his readers to report every lame assed rumor out there.
Have I mentioned the rumor that Mickey Kaus blows goats? I feel compelled to report that too.
What I dread is the fact that Hillary’s will now leak a sex tape of her and Bill to refute the rumor.
The horror…the horror…
I hear this, and I want to put on sunglasses and an ear piece and take a bullet for him.
Go to Matthew Saroff’s Act Blue Page, and give to Donna Edwards.
It’s a 70+% Dem district, there is no need to support this Wynn.
Just so you know Wynn is claiming that the bankruptcy bill that he voted for is good for you.
Wynn, and the whole PG County machine need to be sent to the private sector.
H/T Atrios.

†I know that you are thinking, and no, that is not a sexual euphemism.
It said that the FCC ruling that no requirement for access to the list mile wiring stands.
Ma Bell has lived for years by using monopolistic techniques to ice out competition. It’s more profitable than supplying a better product, which is why the US is behind the rest of the industrialized world in broadband.
The FCC claims that this will give more competition. Why should it, when anti-competitive behavior is more profitable than competing.
Quote of the day: Touting his accomplishments as mayor Tuesday while on the campaign trail in New Hampshire, Giuliani crowed, ‘I took a city that was known for pornography and licked it to a large extent, so I have my own set of qualifications.’
Rudolph Guiliani: Smut licker.
Remember Freddie Thompson getting all freaked out about the UN and guns?
He referred to a August 2006 declaration of the Human Rights Council Sub-commission
Urges States to adopt laws and policies regarding the manufacture, possession, transfer and use of small arms that comply with principles of international human rights and international humanitarian law;
Also urges States to provide training on the use of firearms by armed forces and law enforcement personnel consistent with basic principles of international human rights and humanitarian law with special attention to the promotion and protection of human rights as a primary duty of all State officials;
Further urges States to take effective measures to minimize violence carried out by armed private actors, including using due diligence to prevent small arms from getting into the hands of those who are likely to misuse them;
Ummm…let’s see….This threat to the 2nd amendment is a statement that people make and sell firearms responsibly, that they train soldiers and police properly, and that you do your best to keep guns out of the hands of bad people.
Pretty scary stuff.
South Carolina Dems Reject Colbert’s Ballot Petition.
The Republicans, ever the Richie Riches, had a $35,000 fee to campaign, which Colbert could not meet without starting to file with the FEC.
Bummer.
He had previously ruled it out, but now appears to be considering a run. As Domenici is retiring, this is a possible pickup, and it becomes a much more likely pickup with Udall in the race.
If he is half the man his father one, the only one eyed ex-NBA player ever in to serve congress, he’ll be one of the best guys in the senate.
Read Mo Udall’s autobiography, Too Funny to Be Presiodent.
First, they build an embassy compound that is larger than eny possible need. So they have to fill up all the offices with someone, but who the hell wants to be involved in this massive clusterf&%$?
So now, they what amounts to a draft forcing people to go to Baghdad.
This sounds just like what Rumsfeld did to the military.
Heck of a job there, Condi.
It appears that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has decided to target Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Good. When the Republicans decided to target Tom Daschle in 2004, it crossed a line, and payback is not about making anyone feel good, it’s about making sure that when these lines are crossed, the people get slapped down.
As Sean Connery once said, They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That’s the Chicago way!
You cannot make nice with these folks. If you want them to visit your grave every months, the only way to do that is because they are afraid that you will come up again.
This needs more than money, it needs balls. It needs to be nasty, and that includes a whispering campaign about the fact that McConnel separated from the army after 10 days, allegedly for giving another guy a hand job in the shower.
Republicans will never respect anyone else, but they are at their core cowards, and they can manage fear.
Al Franken’s campaign had the following to say about Norm Coleman endorsing Rudy Guiliani for president:
So the Senator who didn’t think Halliburton’s war profiteering was worth investigating is endorsing the candidate who wanted to put Bernie Kerik in charge of Homeland Security. Makes sense to us!
Hmmmm….Petraeus personally introduced Disgraced Ahmed Chalabi too U.S. troops in Iraq.
At least, there is symmetry.
The Dow dropped 362.14 points. Oil peaked briefly at $96.24/bbl.
Normally, this is not the response to a Fed rate cut. I think that oil and currency concerns are behind this, though truth be told, the two are intertwined. When the dollar falls, if oil remains the same price as a world commodity, the dollar price must naturally go up.
What in the name of Sam Ervin’s backward law degree is going on here??
The only thing that I can think of is that some of them are freelancing as hitmen.
This comes as no surprise. After all, as much as pukes like Joe Lieberman would have us believe it, being a Bush dog is not a statement of strength, but a statement of weakenss, so with dear leader at 26 percent, the Republicans are threatening attack ads, because they might support investigations into Bush wrongdoing.
This is cowardice, and when these folks act this way, it depicts the entire Democratic party as a bunch of cowards who can’t be trusted. That is why they are a liability that needs to be minimized.
This isn’t Dan Burton and his watermelons. This is an investigation into turning the Justice Department into a wing of the Republican party. It is worse than anything Nixon ever did.
Message to Bush Dogs, stand up for your country and grow a backbone. This isn’t politics, this is the country that you have to say.
To quote REPUBLICAN Dick Thornburgh, George Herbert Walker Bush’s Attorney General:
“The citizens of the United States must have confidence that the department is conducting itself in a fair and impartial” manner, “without actual political influence or the appearance of political influence.
Unfortunately, that may no longer be the case,” Thornburgh said.
Steve Clemons had Hagel’s letter leaked to him. He denies that the source was Hagel. He also notes that Admiral William J. Fallon, Commander, U.S. Central Command (Centcom), the guy who thinks that Petraeus is a worthless Eddie Haskell suckup, has, “allegedly communicated with the Senator that serious articulations of American interests and consideration of the options Hagel recommends are much needed in this current political and policy environment.”
Translation: Someone call off the insane folks in DC.
Not that I think that batsh$# insane Cheney, and the petulant brat will listen, though it is significant that this is getting leaked, and passed around the military.
Good, I can think of few people more deserving of being ground into the dust by their victims than the “God hates fags” crowd.
This goes to the father of a dead soldier.
The Picture in question:
Miller apologizes for street festival poster
Promo drew complaints from Catholic group
By TOM DAYKIN
tdaykin@journalsentinel.com
Posted: Oct. 29, 2007Miller Brewing Co. Monday apologized for allowing the company’s brand logos to appear on a poster promoting a San Francisco street festival that some viewed as offensive to Catholics.
The poster was a parody of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” featuring men and women wearing leather. It promoted the Folsom Street Fair, an annual event that features exhibits on sexual practices. This year’s fair occurred in September.
…
We know the real reason that Bill Donohue got his nipples in a twist*, it wasn’t the leather. It was the black Jesus. This guy has a long history of deeply bigoted statements.
Besides, this is a hoot. It’s almost as funny as the Last Supper Scene in the movie M*A*S*H*.
*Yeah, I know, cheap pun, but I gotta be me.
