Drinking Liberally — Seattle

by Darryl — Tuesday, 6/11/13, 2:52 pm

DLBottlePlease join us this evening for, yet, another “special session” of the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.

We meet every Tuesday evening at the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E. Starting time is 8:00pm. Some people show up earlier than that for Dinner.




Can’t make it to Seattle tonight? Check out plethora of other DL meetings over the next week. Tonight there are also meetings of the Tri-Cities and Vancouver, WA chapters. On Wednesday, the Bellingham chapter meets.
On Friday, Washington’s newest chapter, the Centralia chapter of Drinking Liberally, meets. Finally, next Monday, the Yakima chapters meet.

With 205 chapters of Living Liberally, including seventeen in Washington state, four in Oregon, and two more in Idaho, chances are excellent there’s a chapter meeting near you.

    @1 All this poll shows is Republicans are against anything Democrats do, simply because Democrats are doing it. If a Republican was drinking at a bar, and a Democrat sidled up to the bar, Republicans would be for Prohibition right then and there. Same with domestic spying. It was good when Republicans did it and lied about it; but when Democrats do it and lie about it, it’s unAmerican. I predict the ACLU is about to get a slew of brand spanking new Republican clients.

    Poor Don Schmoe… Puddy QUOTES OBUMMER directly except for the history. Puddy used .ever. and Don Schmoe gets it wrong again…

    “Well, actually, on a whole bunch of fronts, we’ve kept that promise,” he said. “This is the most transparent administration in history, and I can document how that is the case — everything from every visitor who comes into the White House is now part of the public record. That is something we changed. Every law that we pass, every rule that we implement we put online for everyone to see.”

    Let’s repeat that again Don Schmoe…

    the most transparent administration in history

    means

    .the. .most. .transparent. .administration. “in history” [.ever.]

    In the vain hopes that Puddly will learn something about “transparency” consider this:

    Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), replied: “We have received numerous briefings on FISA and Patriot Act over the years, these are in addition to the normal oversight of intelligence activities that take place within the Intelligence Committee. I’d have to check the specific date of this one though.” [emphasis added]

    In the update, several congressional offices have responded, in the affirmative, to HuffPo’s request for confirmation.

    That, Puddy, is what we call “evidence.”

    This is classic:

    No kidding. In the very next paragraph, Puddy says,

    Flushing the Koran is bad. Do you report it to these muslim countries NO!!!

    In other words, we can’t publicly condemn flushing the Qur’an, which, by Puddy’s earlier reasoning, means that he must support it.

    That’s Puddy, alright. Completely incoherent to the core. The sad thing is, that’s actually one of Puddy’s more lucid comments.

    The 47% Don’t Pay Income Taxes

    Forbes magazine, that leftist mouthpiece of Bolshevism, has tracked down who these scofflaws are. To wit:

    “The vast majority of non-income taxpayers fall into three categories:

    “17 percent includes students, people with disabilities or illnesses, the long-term unemployed, and … our soldiers in foreign wars who are exempted from paying income taxes while they are on active duty in a war zone.

    “22 percent … are people aged 65 or older who have modest incomes (and do not have earnings).

    “61 percent are working people who pay payroll taxes but are not paying income taxes.”

    So I see from the edges of the internet that people want James Clapper impeached (can we do that to a bureaucrat?) for lying to Senator Wyden when asked about the surveillance program.

    Sorry, no. whatever you think of this whole deal, Wyden as a member of the intelligence committee was briefed and knew full well about the program and that it was classified.

    So Wyden was, knowingly, asking Clapper to reveal classified information in a public hearing. Clapper was required by his office and security level to lie. Had Wyden pressed the issue at the time or refuted his answer, Wyden would have been the one revealing classified information.

    So no.

    checkmate… Ron Wyden went national and told everyone he told Clapper what questions he would ask before the meeting… It’s on Wyden’s web site.

    “One of the most important responsibilities a Senator has is oversight of the intelligence community. This job cannot be done responsibly if Senators aren’t getting straight answers to direct questions. When NSA Director Alexander failed to clarify previous public statements about domestic surveillance, it was necessary to put the question to the Director of National Intelligence. So that he would be prepared to answer, I sent the question to Director Clapper’s office a day in advance. After the hearing was over my staff and I gave his office a chance to amend his answer. Now public hearings are needed to address the recent disclosures and the American people have the right to expect straight answers from the intelligence leadership to the questions asked by their representatives.”

    Well Puddy realizes checkmate is another ASS and verifying his story before placing it on HA is not his forte…

    With the Section 5, Voting Rights Act decision due any day now, something interesting is happening. Rep. Sensenbrenner(R-WI) seems ready to tact to make any changes that are necessary.
    http://www.salon.com/2013/03/1.....ights_act/

    I normally disagree with Rep. Sensenbrenner, but will be interesting to see if he can do it. Personally, I believe it would be better to adopt a version of the German Mixed-Member Proportional system, which combines single seat districts with a tier of seats proportional to the party vote, although it will only work with delegations from Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, California, and Texas.(MMP is used for the Greater London Assembly in the UK, and it has 25seats)
    That is, if the size of the House does not increase.

    For smaller delegations, the Irish preferential system would work. It keeps geographical representation, and gets alternative parties in the door.

    In Germany, the Bundestag has representatives of foreign descent, and if they lose at the district level, they can still win on the party vote. It depends on how high their party ranked them. They have representatives of Turkish descent in all parties, and the Liberal Vice Chancellor is of Vietnamese descent. In the state of Saxony-Anholt,they could be seeing the first member of African origin. He is running in a swing seat, and third on the Social Democrats list for that state.

    Preferential Proportional representation has been used to elect the Cambridge, Ma city council, since 1941, and has survived repeal efforts. The current city council,has 5 men, 4 women, 2 African Americans, 1 Asian American.
    http://www.cambridgema.gov/ccouncil.aspx

    The system is a holdover from when 2 dozen US cities tried it. Fear was used by party machinery to derail it. In New York a communist was elected, and the Republicans gladly accepted returning city hall to Tammany Hall to end that. In Cincinnati, Ohio, that African Americans were elected to the City Council was the excuse there, as well as the Red Scare. https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/polit/damy/articles/kolesar.htm

    Why can’t he be both? He’s already established himself as a vehemently offensive liar. He’s been tripped up on his own retard dozens of times. The fact that he’s a sniveling coward isn’t difficult to see. He’s that vicious little Pomeranian that hides behind the sofa, running out to shred the pant leg of your new suit and then running back behind the sofa to pee on himself.

    Our fun loving friends in the TeA PaRtY strike (out) again,

    During a House Judiciary hearing on his abortion bill Wednesday, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) said that he opposes an exemption for rape victims because “the incidence of rape resulting in pregancy are very low.”

    The Arizona Republican’s comments echo those made last year by former Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.), who notoriously claimed that women cannot become pregnant from “legitimate rape.”

    Like Akin’s, Franks’s claim is not supported by research. Medical experts agree that rape does not lower the incidence of pregnancy, and one study by the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that more than 30,000 pregnancies result from rape in the United States each year.

    This is America, you can believe whatever the fuck you want, you can live however you want. But, you should not have power over other people or have power over the creation of medical and social pubic policy based on a failed understanding of simple, high school level, biology.

    Whenever I think about stuff like intelligent design, quantum physics, higgs bosons, and so forth, I can’t help but wonder if puddy is a random particle. Stranger things have happened in th universe; and there’s no other explanation for a glob of indefinable matter as strange as him. On the other hand, maybe there’s an absurdly simple explanation for puddy, e.g. dog drool. Or a load of giraffe snot. Whatever puddy is, he sure is slimy.

    I had a co worker, an engineer type, tell me very earnestly that Obama was using the NSA and the IRS 10x worse than Nixon did. I don’t disagree that the current tech allows for huge amounts of data to be grabbed, but it’s not being used maliciously to any degree that nixon would have. All I could think of was that if that were true, we wouldn’t have grid lock in congress and we could have got things accomplished.
