    On the Move

     
    As if surrounded by a celestial halo, space shuttle Discovery made its way towards the expansive confines of NASA Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building following a move from its processing hangar on Sept. 9, 2010. A metal sling will be carefully connected to the spacecraft and then operators will hoist it from transfer aisle to the high reaches of the 52-story building before lowering it into place beside the external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters. Crews then will connect the spacecraft giving the stack its familiar launch day form. Discovery is targeted to liftoff on the 11-day STS-133 mission on Nov. 1 at 4:40 p.m. EDT.

Contempt of Congress

Posted by Skip Stone on February 28th, 2009

Karl RoveTell Attorney General Holder: Karl Rove must testify.

Dear Friend,

On February 23, Karl Rove was supposed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee in accordance with a Congressional subpoena. But Rove didn’t show up. Again.

Rove didn’t show up last year when he was ordered to testify, because his old friend President Bush said that Rove’s testimony was protected by executive privilege. Now that Bush is no longer in office, we may finally have an opportunity to learn the truth about his alleged misdeeds, from authorizing voter suppression tactics to orchestrating the arrest of Alabama Governor Don Siegelman.

But even though we have a new president, Karl Rove is still acting like he’s entitled to all the privileges that came with his old job.

I just took action to tell Attorney General Eric Holder to compel Karl Rove to comply with the subpoena. I hope you will, too.

Please have a look and take action.

The New Hitler Youth

Posted by Skip Stone on February 28th, 2009

Hitler YouthSo this young man was indoctrinated at 8 by a Democratic filibuster. This started him listening to talk radio. I wonder if he were born 10 years earlier if a Republican filibuster would have caused him to be obsessive about progressive ideology? As it is while he says the right things he too is a mere parrot that is still repeating the failed myths, policies, and vitriol of the right. He will be another cog in the right wing noise machine. See for yourself.

Right Wing Nut Jobs

Posted by Skip Stone on February 23rd, 2009

That is too good for these people. It excuses their ignorance. Their hateful racism. After ruining our economy they turn the blame on their enemies. I watched the McLaughlin Group yesterday and was so angry because Monica Crowley just like all the other right wing punt bitches started blaming the poor people who got mortgages that they couldn’t afford but were probably told they could afford by those predatory lending agencies.

I have plenty to say, responding to Monica Crowley’s despicable statement blaming the people that were duped by the sub-prime mortgage industry. Also blaming the Clinton administration for Urban renewal policies supposedly forced on the lending institutions Blaming everyone but those responsible. The Republicans they were the party that had control of the legislative branch of government. They were the people that wrote the laws deregulating wall street , the banking industry, Fanny and Freddie. Clarence Page said it all everyone was happy as long as they were making money. Back to Monica, granted not all of the people losing their homes are innocent there are people that intentionally misrepresented their financial standing while applying for a mortgage. It is just like you nasty republicans to characterize a group of people by the few bad apples that are abusing the system just to justify denying help to those less forunate. And don’t bother with your standard bleeding heart liberal smear you need new chops Monica.

So here they go trying to rewrite history and shifting blame. It is our job this time to remind everyone of their tactics and the consquences of not paying attention. We must not allow these traitors to ever gain control of our government again!

More Religious Bullshit

Posted by Skip Stone on February 20th, 2009

Ok, So here is the religious right doing the same thing they accuse others of doing. Clogging up our court system with frivolous lawsuits. The LA Times article ends with this line. “The suit names the Los Angeles Community College District, which operates nine campuses including L.A. City College; its board of trustees; Matteson; and various administrators. Lopez is asking for a jury trial.” A comment on the website The Raw Story which is an rss feed on this blog says it all. “If our species is ever going to advance, these nutcases who believe in a story that some Middle Eastern tribe wrote a couple of thousand years ago need to be eliminated. Sorry, I don’t believe in freedom of speech for the utterly ignorant. I don’t have to listen to everybody’s ideas when their ideas are utter bullshit. I don’t listen to the deep thoughts of a Downs syndrome adult, nor do I listen to the ideas of a religious fanatic. They make about the same amount of sense. Some day the rational mind will take over and we will be rid of these dangerous, hateful dipshits.”
