Text of the page (random words):
formation from representative nadler if anyone is looking for a good way to motivate senators and congresscritters on both sides of the aisle to put a stop to this simply point out that any nsa analyst could record all their calls with donors say or the people who run non coordinated superpacs come to think of it i d almost be willing to put up with this if all of those calls were recorded and transcripts published daily and in closing i d like to echo an epic john cole rant no you want to see the villain look in the mirror it s the pants wetting populace of the united states who votes for these assholes who pass bad laws in moments of crisis because we have to do something and because americans unlike every other nation in the world have a god given right to be safe at all times from all things fuck you all the only thing that might save this country from a couple more weeks of this partisan bullshit obscuring important issues is maybe we ll get lucky and a cute young blonde girl will get kidnapped and we can move on to something else amen leave a comment posted in abuse of power tags big brother is listening to you you re not paranoid posted by mutantpoodle june 13 2013 has anything happened recently no excuses it s just that at some point in january i got overwhelmed with a sense of deja vu i knew what was going to happen politically more or less and it s gets tiresome reboooting my outrage and anger and then i started working and then our national security state went front and center i wasn t even that excited by edward snowden or even his pole dancing girlfriend because quite frankly if you didn t know the government was mining telephone meta data all this time remember the bush administration folks you weren t really paying attention and it isn t a news flash that the nsa looks at furriners internet activity all the time either how they define foreign however is a bit problematic that said i think the conversation is good and i think people should know what their government is doing in their name to paraphrase the great charlie pierce and i didn t really care about edward snowden enough to put him in the category of traitor not really or hero um no until this beijing edward snowden told hong kong media that the united states is involved in extensive hacking operations directed against china and hong kong in an interview with the south china morning post published on the newspaper s website early thursday snowden said he wanted to demonstrate the hypocrisy of the u s government when it claims that it does not target civilian infrastructure unlike its adversaries oh brother let me say first of all that i am shocked shocked to discover that the land of my birth is engaged in espionage of any kind against any of the other peace loving nations that share the planet with us here s why i didn t have a problem with snowden sharing the verizon nsa story it wasn t really news and any terrorist with half a brain already knew to be wary of cell phones assuming they watched zero dark thirty they probably went to rotating burners at best or carrier pigeons long ago prism is newsworthy because a 51 probability that a target is foreign seems like a weak hurdle for you know warrantless search otherwise one of the disadvantages of being a non usa an living in non usa is that the constitution of the united states doesn t protect you and it doesn t protect china so as much as it offends young edward s sensibilities that we haven t copped to hacking into chinese computers while complaining about them doing the same to us it seems to me that the national security clearance he has and the agreements he signed to protect state secrets most certainly apply to that information and while it was already hard to call snowden a whistleblower based on the statute there s no way to justify what snowden just did which is not to put too fine a point on it treasonous and what sucks about that is that it could distract from the real discussion we should be having about what the nsa does to wit is it appropriate scotus has already ruled that it s constitutional is it effective are there proper or any controls what can be made public without risk of endangering real investigations and intelligence gathering i m going to go with three noes and quite a bit more than is made public now but i m happy to have a discussion about all of it and watch the gop filibuster and common sense revisions to how our government looks into everything we do leave a comment posted in abuse of power tags big brother is watching you douchebaggery on parade edward snowden posted by mutantpoodle january 8 2013 settling scores it s an all sports sort of post since congress has done what every hard working american does after returning to work in the new year which is of course give itself another 10 days off score number 1 whatever ranking notre dame is given by the humans behind the ap writers and usa today coaches polls must now be adjusted by five spots i m pretty sure alabama would have beaten anyone lined up against them last night who can t pay players in the daylight but notre dame is a lot more like boise state or northern illinois in terms of the value of its wins than say an oregon or a stanford and the notion that notre dame in the final polls of the season ranks ahead of georgia which damn near beat bama in the sec title game and texas a m which beat them in tuscaloosa strikes me as beyond absurd also too no moral high ground for notre dame which apparently thinks rape is ok in the service of a return to football glory score number 2 pro hockey will return to an arena which may or may not be near you i m not a big pro hockey fan college and olympic hockey are more fluid and far less marred by fights but the nhl has managed to toss an entire season 2004 05 into the dumpster and was perilously close to doing so again here is my favorite snippet from the story summarizing the deal about the value of some of the captains of industry who own nhl franchises more progress was made in early december when some less militant owners joined the talks and bettman and fehr temporarily excluded themselves but the hardest of the hardliners boston s jeremy jacobs and calgary s murray edwards remained involved and those sessions couldn t finish off the agreement talks came crashing to a halt when the players said they wanted fehr back in the process that they were not trained in the art of closing the deal and having their leader present was something they were certainly entitled to do edwards reportedly told them that fehr s return would be a deal killer and things ground to a halt following that episode the league wisely decided against active ownership participation i am just guessing here but there must be something about being able to buy and sell human beings that warps some people sense of place every damned professional league has a jeremy jacobs or murray edwards and they are lucky if they only have one or two and they are always the guys who end up making everything worse score number 3 it may be small of me to take some small amount of comfort or even pleasure in usc s fall from a 1 pre season football ranking to a 7 6 record an ugly loss in the sun bowl and a level of backstabbing that clouds their immediate future but i am at times a small

john boehner has been re elected speaker of the house with apologies to the onion 2 comments posted in republicans tags house of representatives john boehner republicans posted by mutantpoodle january 2 2013 still fighting for the taxpayer the state of pennsylvania at the behest of their republican governor plans to sue the ncaa over the sanctions imposed on penn state in the wake of the jerry sandusky scandal apparently there is concern that some of the 60 million fine penn state is paying into an endowed fund to help prevent child sexual abuse and treat its victims might make its way outside the keystone state i m sure a few more tax cuts for the rich will cover their legal fees i despise the ncaa as much as anyone but seriously just shut up about the punishment and let the university recover this just makes the parties involved look small and what is it about organizations that implicitly condone sex abuse first the roman catholic church imposing its band of higher justice which is to say ignore the victims and shuffle the pedophiles to another diocese to create a new pool of victims and now the boy scouts who are shall we say zealous in defending their organization an oregon man s lawsuit alleged that scouting allowed troop leader timur dykes to continue in the group after he admitted molesting 17 boys in the early 1980s at the trial in 2010 regional scouts official eugene grant faulted parents for letting their sons go to dykes apartment for merit badge work and sleepovers his parents should have known better grant said of one victim i think it s criminal the jury rejected that assertion finding the scouts liable for nearly 20 million in damages in 2002 jerrold schwartz a 42 year old former scoutmaster in new york admitted abusing a boy in his troop in the 1990s after being secretly recorded saying he did something very very wrong and apologizing to the boy schwartz pleaded guilty to four counts of sodomy and was sent to prison despite the conviction and the victim s testimony that schwartz raped me and forced me to perform oral sex on him the scouts in a motion to dismiss a subsequent lawsuit contended that the sex was consensual records show emphasis mine to argue that an adult scoutmaster in his 30s can have consensual sex with a 13 year old in his scout troop is something dreamt up in pedophile heaven attorney michael dowd told the new york law journal in 2006 after a judge rejected the scouts motion the lawsuit was later settled terms were not disclosed the boy scouts don t have a lot of goodwill in my account anyway i read this and wonder if anyone involve at the scouts is even partially human leave a comment posted in fucktardery miscellaneous tags assholes boy scouts sex abuse jerry sandusky penn

were to do it which we totally may if the house of representatives holds to its current level of sanity one note to nbc news which had this paragraph in the above story as of this morning first the last time richard shelby was a democrat was before newt gingrich was speaker of the house so that s a solid 18 years ago second it might have been more illuminating to note the actual democratic nays harkin of iowa bennett of colorado and carper of delaware the best thing about this deal is that it extends long term unemployment benefits but i m not sure why the end of the payroll tax holiday couldn t have been phased in over two years since that is in fact a tax increase on the lower and middle classes one the gop was apparently happy to let happen anyway this has been a stupid process caused by the massive dysfunction on one legislative branch of government seriously does anyone think the last week of house craziness would have happened if nancy pelosi were in charge anyway happy

themselves yours truly submitted but you ll have to go to vagabond scholar s site to see which one while you re there check out some other small blogs i spent a fair amount of time picking the one post i d submit not because i think i have so many phenomenal posts but because it s hard to put the year into perspective without having actually hopped out into 2013 and i did resist the temptation to select the post where i picked obama to win the election way back in february unlike vagabond scholar i have no constraints so below is my ten baker s dozen best mutant poodle posts of 2012 so much for that doom and gloom where i actually make my election call it s a trap reflections on mitt romney s core beliefs profiles in cowardice the shame of the gop s inability to call rush limbaugh out for his vile sandra fluke slander they are good at this stuff musings on the obama propaganda shop or maybe he s just you know a liar taking exception to lame justifications for mitt romney s casual
