The Seattle chapter of Drinking Liberally meets tonight (and every Tuesday), 8PM at the Montlake Ale House, 2307 24th Avenue E. I’m told that Port Commissioner Lloyd Hara will be joining us tonight. Mmm. I love port.
And if you happen to be a liberal drinker on the other side of the mountains, the Tri-Cities chapter of DL also meets Tuesday nights, 7 PM, Atomic Ale, 1015 Lee Blvd., in Richland. Go ask Jimmy for more details.
Hello http://www.marxists.org/
Have fun, guys. Remember which one of you is the designated driver.
“I’m the designated driver??? I thought YOU were the designated driver! (hic!)”.
Thank God the feds are spending dwindling resources fighting terrorism! Down with caffeine plants!!!! Well, at least the feds aren’t tearing apart the Somali grocery stores anymore, based on paranoid Sharkansky-style post 9-11 Fear Factor politics….we all know how successful that Big Brother operation was…
14 arrests upset local Somalis
The bust, which netted 44 alleged khat sellers nationwide, came after an 18-month DEA investigation that targeted mostly immigrant communities in Seattle, along with other cities with sizable Somali populations, including Minneapolis; New York; Columbus, Ohio; and Boston.
The sting involved months of extensive interviews with members of the Somali community and their neighbors as well as phone taps, according to the DEA. Over the course of the investigation, DEA agents said, 25 tons of khat — worth about $10 million — was illegally imported for use by Somali immigrants.
The DEA said an international network used human smugglers and commercial shippers to transport khat from its native habitat in Africa to the U.S. Now, the 14 arrested in the Seattle bust are waiting for trials that could last years. If convicted under the felony drug-trafficking charges brought against them, they could face decades in federal prison.
–
Parts of the khat or qat (pronounced “cot”) shrub have been used for centuries as a mild stimulant in countries like Somalia and Yemen, where users compare the effect of chewing on the fresh plant to drinking a strong cup of caffeinated coffee.
For the mostly Muslim populations of those nations, alcohol use is a religious taboo. Instead of drinking, many will chew on khat, kick back with friends and family, and talk.
But here in the U.S., khat’s two active chemicals, cathine and cathonine, are scheduled, controlled substances, making them illegal to possess and consume — and the DEA doesn’t make cultural exceptions in enforcing federal drug laws.

One particular bar in town was known for over-serving patrons. The local police decided to crack down on drunk driving, and staked out the bar, intending to arrest drunks as soon as they took “control” of their vehicle.
Out of the bar stumbled one man. He barely made it into the parking lot, weaving the whole way. After going from car to car, he finally found what he believed to be his car. He tried to insert the key, but kept fumbling with it and dropped the keys on the ground. The officer watched him for twenty minutes as he tried to get his keys in the door. The entire parking lot emptied of bar patrons, but the officer ignored them, and kept his eyes glued to this one guy, determined that he was not going to let him “drink and drive”.
Finally the guy gets his keys in the door, opens the door, sits inside, and puts his keys in the ignition. Finally!!!!
The officer turns on his lights, pulls behind the car to block it from exiting the parking stall, and loudly orders the man out of the car. He conducts a field subriety test, but is surprised to find that the man actually does rather well. He can recite the alphabet, forwards and backwards, and he manages to walk heel to toe without a stumble. The officer then takes out his portable breath test kit, and instructs the man to breath into the tube. It shows a “zero” alchohol reading!
The officer is perpelexed. “Have you been drinking!!!???” He inquires. Instead of the usual “two beers” response, the guy just says “No.” The officer smells his breath, and realizes for the first time that he doesn’t smell any alchohol.
“Okay, what gives here?” the officer inquires. “A moment ago, you couldn’t stand up, but now you are as sober as a judge, and you say you haven’t been drinking at all. Just what’s going on here?”
“I’m the decoy.” the man replies.
Perhaps in your discussions tonight you’ll bring of the topic of why Cantwell refused to participate in an effort to pursue an early cease fire to the war in Lebanon. Yes, I communicated with her with such a request and was met with a reply that echoed the Bush party line that Hezbollah was solely responsible for the violence, etc. Anyone who has taken the time to do just a little research into the chronology of events leading up to Israel’s invasion of Lebanon would know that this is not true. Consider, as just one example Israel’s repeated, low-level overflights of southern Lebanon at supersonic speeds with F-16 fighters in violation of international law regarding sovreign air space.
Go on. Liven up the conversation. Suggest some theories on why Cantwell would once again enable the Bush administration’s militaristic foreign policy.
(un)Socialist,
Marxism didn’t work in the 20th Century, and it won’t work in the 21st Century or any other century, for that matter! Why provide us with a link to a website for dolts?
Now let me see, Baby Bush says the London terror plot is a reminder that Osama Bin Laden still wants to kill Americans. Can anyone please tell me then why we disbanded the unit that’s looking for him? Anyone? Anyone?

Cantwell votes to disallow Washingtonians to be able to continue to deduct their state sales taxes from their federal income taxes. Her lie about some minumum wage provision won;t even apply to Washington State, according to the labor department. Basically, Cantwell threw Washingtonians to the wolves in order to make partisan points with the democrat apparatchik.
Why is Darcy Burner afraid to appear on KVI? Brian Suites just extended her an invitation on air and apparently has had a standing invitation for a while now. Apparently show only appears on goldstein’s show because she is afraid of tough questions (or appearing ona show that people actually listen to) – even though Brian Suites is hardly a tough questioner. Kirby or John would be ask much more harder questions.

You dont understand the concept of “its not working try something else”?
Did any of those reports suggest that we are still not attempting to find him? that unit was disbanded…do you expect them to announce that another one was created?
Sheesh
PBJ,
Dont forget Cantwell screwed over low income people in 38 states too.
She has also voted consistently to fund terrorists who are members of The Religion of Peace. By not voting for gulf, coast and ANWAR drilling she continues to feed those who would kill us.
This is why it’s so important to have adults in charge.
PBJ at 10: The federal tax exemption was a political move, and you know it. It was a hand granade lobbed directly at Cantwell, in hopes of aiding those making ignorant comments like the one you just made.
All the Republican majority in the Senate had to do was to vote for: (a) a minimum wage bill, (b) an estate tax repeal bill, (c) a bill to extend the sales-tax deduction on federal income taxes, and (d) a bill to reduce the minimum wage for persons receiving tips. They didn’t put them on the floor as seperate bills, because they didn’t want them to pass. They just wanted to cover their buts by allowing endangered Republican encumbents to claim that they voted for the minimum wage bill, and they wanted to give political ammunition against the Democrats (like Cantwell) on the other items.
Now, the Republicans have a majority in both houses of Congress. So any vote by Cantwell, or any other Democrat, was not dispositive of the combined bill. If the Republicans wanted the bill to pass, they only had to have their Whip force their members to vote it along party lines. They’ve done it often enough before, they could have done it here if they had wanted to.
Congress will be back in session briefly in September. If the Republicans really want Washington and Tennessee and a few other states to have the deduction, they will pass it then. I think there is a chance this will happen, because Frist, the Republican Majority Leader, is from Tennessee (but he’s not retiring this year).
But don’t keep spreading the lie that Cantwell voted against Washington taxpayers. Everyone knows it is a misleading statement, and it just makes you look dumb.
Bush probably stopped looking for bin Laden because his whole family is very friendly with the bin Laden family. That’s also probably why Bush didn’t kill bin Laden in August 2001 before 9.11 when he had him in his sights. Also probably why Bush let the entire bin Laden family go while the skies were closed to air travel by Americans.

So Rodent, why do you think the term “Jesusland” is clever? Tell us why your Bush-hating and Christian-hating doesn’t go together. While you’re at it, see if you can tell the difference between the rhetoric of an ordinary Bush-hating lib and an Islamofascist:
1. “George Bush’s personal commitment to and sympathy for Christian fundamentalism are well-known. Indeed, it is becoming increasingly clear that his foreign policies, as in Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran, are powerfully shaped by the Christian fundamentalist agenda of global conquest for Christ and Capital. Christian fundamentalists believe that Christ alone is the way to salvation, and that the entire world must be brought to heel before him, by force if necessary. In the past, this pernicious doctrine was used to bless bloody Crusades and wars of imperial plunder. The doctrine serves exactly the same purpose today, although in a somewhat modified garb, as the bombing of Afghanistan, the destruction of Iraq and the possible American invasion of Iran clearly indicate. Although these acts are sought to be justified by America as a ‘civilising’ mission or as part of its ‘war on terror’, the underlying white Christian supremacist vision behind American imperialism, a continuation of the logic of European colonialism, is unmistakable.”
2.”By appointing John Ashcroft, and allowing him to appoint a proven sadist to oversee the Iraqi prison system, George Bush demonstrates his ‘Christian values.’ The media parrots his tepid outrage. Bush and the media both ignored the findings of the IRC (Red Cross) and Amnesty International that abuse of prisoners in Iraq was a widespread and serious problem.”

This farrago of caricature and non sequitur makes the administration seem eager to repel all but the delusional. But perhaps such rhetoric reflects the intellectual contortions required to sustain the illusion that the war in Iraq is central to the war on terrorism, and that the war, unlike “the law enforcement approach,” does “work.”

Actually, the problem is more in the nature of “nothing done by this administration ever worked in the first place,” so why are they still in office?
Hey pbj, why won’t the CHEAP LABOR CONSERVATIVES allow a vote on a stand-alone bill to raise the minimum wage? And why do they want to let restaurant owners deduct tips from the minimum wages they pay? Under the CHEAP LABOR CONSERVATIVE bill that Cantwell appropriately voted against, restaurant owners could pay waitresses as little as $2 an hour.
Hey pbj, I’ve got a couple of questions for ya good buddy:
1) How many innocent people has the Bush administration arrested under terrorism laws?
2) How many people has the Bush administration prosecuted for violating the federal minimum wage law?
3) Which is more, 1) or 2)?

Anti-Semitism at CNN
I wonder how much longer it will be before the liberal press begins to push for Isreal’s removal from the Middle East? I also wonder whose side Goldy will be on…………..
CNN’s Jeff Greenfield appeared on “Imus” Tuesday morning and said this about the Middle East:
“I’ve never heard it explained adequately how you solve a problem where two different people think God gave them the same piece of land. I mean, what actually, we’ve seen how you’ve made progress. And what happens is, at some point, and I don’t just mean in the Middle East, at some point, to be blunt about it, somebody gives up something. You don’t conquer them, you know, like Gormany and Japan after World War II.
DeKlerk gave up, in the best possible sense, South Afirca – he said, ‘we can’t keep this going any more.’ The colonial forces, the British and French and others said we can’t run this part of the world anymore.
Essentially Mikhail Gorbachev gave up that malicious dream of a totalitarian state could change the world.
And in the American south, the white southerners, the segregationists, they were made to give up, said you know what, we can’t do this anymore. So the question I get is, who gives up what?”
______________________________________________________________
UPDATE: A Mideast expert writes me with this thought:
I don’t get his point. It can’t be that 6 million Israeli Jews (or 13 million Jews total), “give up” more of eretz Yisrael. The Arabs already have Judea and Samaria (West Bank), the Jewish religious and historical heartland, and most Jews seem willing to tolerate that, more or less. Not to mention, the Arabs already have 82.5 percent of British Mandatory Palestine (Jordan, West Bank, and Gaza Strip) and most Jews seem willing to live with that, more or less.
For Israelis/Jews, this isn’t about “giving up something,” it’s about not giving up. The South African example is misleading, as usual. Even at the height of the anti-apartheid struggle, most blacks did not see most whites, as I understand it, as not South African. So is the reference to Germany and France. AFTER both were heavily damaged in World Wars, and Germany leveled in the second, Germany learned to live without all of Alsace-Lorraine, etc.
So, what’s Greenfield’s point? That the Arab-Muslims have to give something up? Yes, right after their version of the Protestant Reformation/Catholic Counter-reformation, or maybe Allied occupation.

Many Israelis Furious at How War Was Run
Aug 16 9:24 AM US/Eastern
By AMY TEIBEL
Associated Press Writer
JERUSALEM
As the Mideast cease-fire took hold, there was no truce in Israeli politics: Demands mounted for the military chief’s resignation, and the government came under increasing criticism over how the war against Hezbollah was waged.
Newspapers and radio shows were filled with outrage over army chief Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz’s decision to sell off his stock portfolio just hours before launching Israel’s biggest military operation since its 1982 invasion of Lebanon.
Halutz declared himself a victim of malicious reporting, saying he has been turned “into a Shylock.”
Calls mounted Wednesday for setting up a commission of inquiry into how the war was run, amid growing dissatisfaction with Israel’s leaders and Monday’s cease-fire.
The 34-day war against Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas, widely seen here as just, had united Israel’s fractured society. Hezbollah was considered a growing threat after it had vastly expanded its arsenal of missiles in recent years.
But the unity crumbled after Israel’s fabled army pulled out of south Lebanon without crushing Hezbollah or rescuing two soldiers whose July 12 capture by the guerillas during a raid in Israel triggered the fighting.
The war began just two months after Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz, men with little military experience, took office. Surveys in two major Hebrew-language dailies on Wednesday showed low approval ratings for both.
A poll of 500 people by TNS-Teleseker showed support for Olmert sinking to 40 percent after soaring to 78 percent in the first two weeks of the offensive.
Peretz’ approval rating plunged to 28 percent from 61 percent, according to the poll, which has a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points. A second poll, by the Dahaf Research Institute, showed 57 percent calling for his resignation.
The Dahaf poll, which had a margin of error of 4.5 percentage points, showed 70 percent opposed to a cease-fire that did not include the return of the captured soldiers, and 69 percent backing an official inquiry into the war’s prosecution.

Syria President Assad Threatens War
Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad says his country is prepared for war with Israel and warned that the Golan Heights would be seized “by Syrian hands.”
In an interview with the Egyptian publication Al-Usbu after the ceasefire in Lebanon went into effect, Assad declared: “Syria has been prepared and ready since the first day of the war . . .
“We and the resistance (Hezbollah) read clearly that the day of confrontation was definitely approaching. The current war is five years old, and there were widespread preparations for this day.”
Assad said he is convinced that steps toward peace “have fallen off, and that the Golan will be liberated by Syrian hands.”
Asked what the expected results would be if Israel launched an attack against Syria, Assad said: “If Israel acts with adventurism and enters into a war with Syria, this will be the beginning of a heavy price that it will pay.”
Assad said Hezbollah’s conflict with Israel marks “a new stage in the history of [the Arab] nation, and he remarked ominously: “To this day no one in American intelligence or Israeli intelligence knows what the true capabilities of the resistance are.”
The Syrian government daily Al-Thawra claimed Hezbollah had achieved a military victory over Israel, which “forced the Americans to make huge diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing [the victory] from being translated into a new political reality.”
On Tuesday, Germany’s foreign minister abruptly canceled a planned visit to Syria after Assad gave a speech ridiculing Israel’s military offensive in Lebanon and warning against disarming Hezbollah.
And CAIR has the courage to say that their are no “Islamo-Fascists”?
“Iran seeks to test taboos with Holocaust cartoons
The contest, held jointly with Iran’s Cartoon House, a syndicate for caricaturists, will be open until September 14. Until now, Shojai said 1,193 drawings had been received from 61 countries but he said judges chose 204 to put on display.
Several cartoons showed images of the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, one showing him smiling as he stood behind
President Bush while bombs carrying the Star of David fell. Another showed a turtle with a U.S. emblem laying eggs carrying the Star of David.
The contest was welcomed by some visiting youths who were at the exhibition on Wednesday, two days after it opened.
“After the Holocaust was questioned by the president, now I have real doubts about it,” said Maryam Zadkani, a 23-year-old graphic artist as she wandered around the exhibition.
“I came here to see what other cartoonists around the world think about the Holocaust.”
The winner and runners up will be announced on September 2, with the top three entries receiving $12,000, $8,000 and $5,000 respectively. “The government is not financing the prize,” Shojai said, without saying who was offering the cash.”

The ONLY way the Democrats will win in 06 and 08 is with 20% voter fraud in large urban, black and cities and illegal alien votes. Democrats must achieve 115% turnout of registration, and, in my best guess, will!! Any and all questions about voter fraud in Chicago, Philly, Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta, Gary, and LA will be considered “racist” and will not be allowed. Expect additional voter fraud in Columbus, OH and Broward County, FL. The sad fact is the Dems will pull it off.
