Please join us for an evening of politics over a pint at tonight’s Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.
We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E. Starting time is 8:00pm, but people will show up earlier than that for Dinner.
Can’t make it to Seattle tonight? Check out another DL meeting over the next week. Tonight the Tri-Cities chapter also meets. The Longview and South Seattle chapters meet this Wednesday. Also on Wednesday, the nation’s newest chapter, the Lakewood, Washington Drinking Liberally chapter, will meet. And for Thursday, the Spokane and Tacoma chapters meet.
With 207 chapters of Living Liberally, including sixteen in Washington state, four in Oregon, and two more in Idaho, chances are excellent there’s a chapter meeting near you.

Michelle Bachmans best bud. Praised and noted by the likes of Sarah Palin and George Bush. Not to mention his buddies Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Scott Walker and Pamela Gellar. Your own heroes from what you’ve said in the past. It is the New Apostolic Reformation that openly states as a matter of it’s own platform their delusion that, for Jezuz to return and make the world a happy place for White European Christian Capitalists, the Jews must first all be exterminated, and Isreal be destroyed. The folks that say openly, that the AntiChrist will be a Jew who brings peace to the world.
Your only “love” for Jewish people is the sort that a rapist daddy has for his daughter, until she disobeys him by reporting his baby rapist ass to the cops.
There are a hundred very good reasons why every Jewish person I know is watching the Tea Party like a hawk. They’ve seen it all before, repeatedly. And they know their own history very well.

Piddles, with all the blogs you read, you don’t know much. Yesterday you were insinuating that the Bush Administration’s disastrous failure to recognize a democratic election would have been different if Fatah had won. Today, having done a little research and finding out that Fatah also denied the right of Israel to exist, you’ve changed your tune. And knowing a smidgen about the region, having Fatah or Hamas win an election among Palestinians couldn’t have been predicted by anyone, right?
Back to square one. If George W. Bush stood for democracy around the globe, why refuse to even fake talks with the Democratically elected representatives of Palestinians? Better to just telegraph to any emerging Democracies that their elections don’t matter if they get it wrong? Or was his administration totally uninterested in Israeli/Palestinian peace and nakedly full of it about standing for Democracy? Or maybe he was dumb as a post like we suspected?
I should point out that this discussion started with you not knowing dick about The 2002 Venezuelan coup. Maybe you need to read 40 blogs a day as information only sticks after 39 readings.

New Study Discredits Economic Basis Of Austerity Policies
The academic foundation of austerity policies favored by conservatives and European governments just got blown to hell:
“Fiscal policies pursued by the U.S. and Europe could be called into question after a new study challenged influential research from two Harvard economists which said debt over a certain level was dangerous for countries.
“Economists at the University of Massachusetts have released a report that attacks the findings of economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, whose 2010 paper ‘Growth in a Time of Debt’ became the driving force for debt reduction and austerity in the developed world” for what the authors called “serious errors” in Reinhart’s and Rogoff’s handling of data in their study.

Oh really ‘K’. Let’s take this stupid comment apart…
The difference since your small feeble mind can’t figure out is you don’t pay this tax in the King County cities… Maryland city HOMEOWNERS will. With FACTS your silly argument falls apart. Also, since this “tax” is only in unincorporated King County, on $20 Million was raised. Maryland will raise $300 Million from city dwellers.

The whole thing is a concerted effort to thread the needle “Kermit Gosnell = all women’s reproductive health” – a big agenda of the right-wing women-hating Bibul-thumpers, like piddl, who want to take us back to the 11th century, or the 3rd millennium BCE.

Here’s a good take-down of the piddl-like Kermit Gossnell screamers, the right winger who dearly desire to end women’s rights to autonomy over their own uteri.
From the head of the Philadelphia Women’s Center…
Moreover, restricting early-term abortions drives desperate women to desperate measures, including late term abortions. Will ending women’s rights to comprehensive health care end abortions? Nope – it’ll be back to the coat-hangers, ladies.
Coupled with the right-wing’s abhorrence of comprehensive sex- and health-education, and their dogged attempts to end adequate access to and distribution of contraceptives and peoples’ ability to control their fertility, particularly women, it becomes obvious that this is not really about abortion…this is about controlling and shaming and marginalizing both sexuality specifically and women in general.
This is the agenda of the radical Bibul-thumpers – back to the 11th century, when wimmins knew their place.

Kind of a cheapshot, really, because I’m sure a smart guy like yourself knew that NTfF, in using the term “medical safe abortions”, was contrasting a competently executed procedure in a controlled environment with a coathanger in an alley.

Laws prohibit abortions after various gestational stages, correct? Some of those restrictions are for medical purposes. Since the gestational endpoint at which abortion is permissible varies by state, I thought the question was appropriate.

After the hearing, Baucus explained that the train wreck is “that consumers and businesses will just not have enough information. That it will be too confusing.”
He also expressed frustration that the White House and HHS are not providing details of its outreach efforts.
“My main concern is that when I ask them for information about the navigators … that I don’t get anything back,” Baucus told reporters.

@61 Your question was not clear. Was that on purpose?
My point was abortion becomes much much more unsafe when it’s banished from a hospital or clinic and done instead in some alley with a coat hanger, or they try to use some old superstition technique to terminate the pregnancy.
Honestly, I don’t even have the language to write about what it was like when abortion wasn’t legal, since it’s been legal and available for so long, much of the horrible ways and consequences have faded from common memory. It’s like writing about the bad old days of slavery, or what life was like before penicillin. (Just because the details have faded, doesn’t mean society should revert, just so we can write about them in vivid detail.)
What I am for is sex ed, abstinence, monogamy and birth control for all parties involved, open adoption and the option of a safe abortion if that what the woman thinks is best choice for her body and life.

Instead the talking head was glad as he smugly reported that company was going to avoid paying health care for it’s employees.
Regal would pay for up to 40 hours a week, just so long as they didn’t have to pay any health care. Nice…..

Wow Lib da Schmucko… Google found 1800 USA Today entries over the years on HA. So from you all those leftist comments using USA Today are wrong and worthless? Goldy and others using USA Today were dumb and stooopid. Do tell Lib da Schmucko! Puddy will remember this the next time one of your leftist libtard lunatics and comment on your “findings” Great job denigrating your buds. Such a jackASS!
The problem with Lib da Schmucko is any facts not proffered by Lib da Schmucko’s favorite sites can’t be accepted. Hey douchebag, FACTS are FACTS! Roger once said that Schmucko!
Oh Kirsten Powers DUMMOCRAPT in every way shape and form, becomes an honest broker like Bob Woodward did and Lib da Schmuck went apoplectic. Whenever FACTS explode his simple arguments Lib attacks the deliverer. That’s Lib da Schmucko’s M.O. There in no information just denigrating attacks on the individual writers.

@89. I hate mucking around in Puddy speak, normally I just skip over anything he babbles, but I think he’s saying:
The Daily Beast is not a credible source after it was caught paying women to claim they had sex with a democratic politician. If they would do that, how can a rational person trust ANYTHING they publish?

@96 And 4 Republicans voted for it. The vote was 54-46. One of the “no” votes was a technical vote cast by Sen. Reid to preserve the ability to bring up the legislation again (see #98), so actual support/opposition broke down as follows:
Democrats: 51 for, 4 against
Republicans: 4 for, 41 against
So, for the comprehensionally challenged (yes, I’m talking about YOU, piddlekins), I reiterate:
REPUBLICANS HAVE DEFEATED BACKGROUND CHECKS IN THE SENATE.
Anyone want to take serious issue with this? (I said SERIOUS, piddlekins!)
Puddybud spews:
Oh DUMB Wabbit,
Max Baucus why did you vote against it… “Montana”
Republicans who voted for it… Well Toomey had to vote for it.
Susan Collins (R-Maine) – up for reelection in 2014
Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) – up for reelection in 2016.
John McCain (R-Ariz.) – no reason
Want serious conversation DUMB Wabbit? Bloomberg’s anti-gun attacks on senators BACKFIRED! BIG TIME! DUMMOCRAPT Senator Heidi Heitkamp was very pissed at Bloomberg.
Also when DUMMOCRAPTS blocked the concealed weapons amendment part agreed to by most Republicans, THAT killed the final bill. Reid forced that concealed weapon amendment to reach the 60 vote limit even surprising the NY Times DUMB WABBIT. So the Republicans voted the whole bill down. DUMMOCRAPT gun intransigence killed the bill.
So when you want to get serious and drop your comprehensionally challenged facade, let Puddy know!

Dozens of people have been injured, some severely, in a fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas (near Waco). The powerful explosion damaged a nearby middle school, nursing home, funeral home, and apartment complex.

Update on Texas Disaster
A local TV station (live feed) reports 100 homes and businesses damaged, 200 injured, of whom 40 are in critical condition. The explosion occurred about 8 pm local time.
West, Texas, is a small town and the plant was in the middle of town. News reports indicate the center of the town was leveled.
Puddybud spews:
In other news the Progress Kentucky illegal taper visited Obummer and the Center for American Progress while in WA DC. So much for not being involved in national politics.
Sux to be DUMMOCRAPTS now their attack plan has failed miserably against McConnell.

So by Roger’s logic the Anacortes Tesoro Oil Refinery Fire that killed five people should have never happened because WA State led by DUMMOCRAPTS had all the safety inspectors needed to prevent it. You see DUMB Wabbit, Puddy remembers!

It sounds like the town lost most of their fire department. The plant was on fire and firefighters were on the scene when the explosion leveled the plant and surrounding area. The blast area was about a 5-block radius.

The local TV station covering the West, Texas disaster says the town had 6 volunteer firefighters, all of whom were fighting the plant fire when the explosion occurred, and none of the firefighters are accounted for.
EvergreenRailfan spews:
It sounds worse, as for Fire Departments, than 9/11, I mean, the FDNY lost 343. The SFD, lost 4 in the Pang Warehouse fire, 2 from the same company, Engine 13. Not since the 1950s has the SFD seen a fire this fatal, and what West, Texas is going through, is going to be much higher.

The irony is that seat, Kelowna-Mission, May have got the most news it is going to get in the campaign. The fight will be in Vancouver and it’s suburbs. That is where the voters, and the seats are.

@123. On NPR, they were saying that the liquid fertilizer, anhydrous ammonia, is not flammable, but the plant kept the substance in liquid form by putting it in tanks under very high pressure. When the tanks are exposed to fire, the liquid turns to gas and it exploded.
So when they say “it presented no risk of fire or explosion”, that could be technically true, but it could be like Serial Conn’s weasel words, anhydrous ammonia was safe-ish in isolation, but not stored in hi pressure tanks exposed to high heat.
Maybe they will will use the republican excuse: “Nobody could have predicted….”
