Fucking fuck Dick Cheney, who is the luckiest most undeserving malevolent bastard alive to still be standing and free to walk the earth. But he still can’t STFU. Especially today.
@schrodinger’s cat: Obama is sometimes briefed on intelligence issues in person, sometimes he reads the briefing himself. He can read and understand things on a level that allowed him to kill bin Laden, something Cheney and Bush couldn’t do in eight years. This upsets Dick Cheney, and for some reason he thinks the rest of us give a shit.

@schrodinger’s cat: Something about Obama ignoring national security briefings and that’s why Obama felt entitled to claim some credit for the killing of bin Laden.
Given the Bush administration’s attitude towards al Qaeda-oriented intelligence pre-9/11, it’s a truly impressive display of chutzpah.

Hey John Cole: Orly Taitz is suing a gazillion people (including media companies like CNN, MSNBC, Clear Channel, Forbes and The Daily Beast – oh and she’s suing a Georgia Judge too!) to try to get the state of California (CA District Court) to change the West Virginia Primary. :P
She seriously believes California can change West Virginia law? LMAO

Good job, Mittenz! Via TPM:
“I’m grateful to him (Romney) for formulating his stance so clearly because he has once again proven the correctness of our approach to missile defense problems,” Putin told reporters, according to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.

“The most important thing for us is that even if he doesn’t win now, he or a person with similar views may come to power in four years. We must take that into consideration while dealing with security issues for a long perspective,” he said, speaking after a meeting with Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic, according to Interfax news agency.

@The Red Pen: That is so wrong on so many levels. I need to go fetal now.
President Barack Obama has closely followed the policy of his predecessor, President George W. Bush, when it comes to tactics used in the “war on terror” — from rendition, targeted killings, state secrets, Guantanamo Bay to domestic spying, according to Michael Hayden, Bush’s former director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency.

@The Red Pen: Holy Shnikes! That was pretty awesome. Thanks!
I just relayed that to my kids. I can only hope they hate Muslims someday.
Heh. Redstate will ban anyone who references fact checkers:
I’ve pretty much had it with the grotesque turn the various “fact checking” organizations have taken. “Politifact” is little more than a bunch of shills, devoid of even the vestiges of integrity, that sling about “pants on fire” ratings to any GOP or conservative politician. The Washington Post is no exception.
…
In the past we’ve had a policy of banning people who argue in bad faith. As Politifact, and the whole menagerie of “fact checking” organizations have demonstrated themselves to be slavishly attached to the Administration’s nether regions I will consider quoting any of them, in a non-ironic way, as being evidence of arguing in bad faith and worthy of a ban.
Here in San Diego, developer and pro-Prop 8 guy Doug Manchester, who recently bought the Union-Tribune, has now purchased the North County Times, giving him control of the only two dailies in the county. Some gems from last Sunday’s U-T editorial, warning what will happen if Obama is re-elected:
The U-T sees $8- to $10-a-gallon gasoline in 2016.
We predict Israel will be attacked by the surrounding Arab terror states as the U.S. retreats from Israel’s defense. Israel’s very existence will be in jeopardy.
We predict that, with Obamacare, if you are over 65 a ride to Mexico will become commonplace, as there will be rationed care in the U.S. Death panels and other rationing plans will limit care.
As Obama’s war on God and life continues, we predict an effort to have late-term abortions paid for by taxpayers – even at a time when more than 60 percent of America believes there should be restrictions on abortion. We ask: Who stands for the life and rights of the child?
We even predict an effort to get “In God we Trust” removed from U.S. symbols, including our money. …
America is a great country. We love our country, but we are frightened as well. We do not want America to drift toward European socialism. We want an America built upon these principles of our Founding Fathers.
(Damn blockquotes giving me fits … )

Embassies under attack in Libya and Egypt, just on MSNBC news. Possibly one American killed.
Cairo (CNN) — Angry protesters attacked U.S. diplomatic compounds in Libya and Egypt on Tuesday, citing in both instances an online film considered offensive to Islam.
In Cairo, several men scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy and tore down its American flag, according to CNN producer Mohammed Fahmy, who was on the scene.

The Union-Tribune is still a large daily, mind you, with Sunday circulation probably still over 200,000 (and falling, but still … ). It’s jarring to see wingnuttery of that caliber in what used to be a respectable newspaper.
(Reluctant disclosure: I was a reporter/editor there for 20 years.)
I’m carrying around a big gasbag of contempt for Jennifer Ruin Rubin ever since I saw a video of her. Believe me folks, this woman is a Mrs. Demento. Her face has an insane puppet show of it’s own going on that has nothing to do with the words she says. Verbally, she is just another mediocre Republican operative, shuffling cards with nutty stuff written on them but watching her on tv, I had a powerful urge to turn on the radio and to shove the remote up someone’s butt like that viral kid who couldn’t watch WoW.
I’m also not loving Chuck Todd either, but that’s been going on for a long time.

When I saw the story in Politco about the UT giving GOP candidates seminars, I pulled the plug. Now they have the North County Times too. Strange times in San Diego media. I also have an LA Times subscription too, so I guess that is my dead tree media fix from now on.
