Disgraced pol Weiner eyes mayor or public advocate run.

Really.

One might, if so inclined, go here to "Write Weiner" ( Yes, really: "Write Weiner".  He has no clue: why not "Contact Anthony"? because life is, apparently, one dick joke after another) and offer him an opinion.

Not even for dog catcher.

In other news, reports that another hotel burned down around Strauss-Kahn were met with surprise from Kahn, who alleges he had no idea those were flames consuming his bedroom: "Ze hotel burned down? Mon Dieu! I had no idea the smoke was from fire! This is terreeble! Was anyone hurt?"

Prosecutors, investigators, and other authorities during a press conference in front the latest pile of smoldering rubble at which Strauss-Kahn stayed defended their inability: "We do not have a "smoking gun" linking Kahn to this latest conflagration."

John Edwards and the ''Millionaire Madam':

By Murray Weiss, DNAinfo Criminal Justice Editor / Columnist

MANHATTAN

A call girl working for alleged "Millionaire Madam" Anna Gristina told investigators she was paid to have sex with former U.S. Sen. John Edwards when he was in New York raising money for his failed presidential bid, DNAinfo has learned.

His latest, about a double standard, is revelatory.

Limbaugh, having never before encountered a standard, is seeing double after self-propelling headlong into his first ever.

http://news.yahoo.com/7th-advertiser-pulls-limbaughs-show-194641280.html:

"Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks Inc. hosts Limbaugh's program, one of the country's most popular talk radio shows. "

"Clear Channel's parent company was taken private in 2008 by private equity firms Thomas H. Lee Partners and Bain Capital."

Over here KGB999 talks about the CIQ issue. I just noticed that the day  after his post that the Software Freedom Law Center submitted comments "...to the U.S. Copyright Office proposing an exemption from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's anti-circumvention provisions."

It looks like some agency hit a water supply SCADA. A SCADA, sort of like the ones on planes.

In this water supply issue, a pump was damaged by turning it on and off an excessive number of times.

...but already know:

As most of you know, Cain has mentioned "...a troubled woman...".

And, as most of you know, women who are almost raped in a parking lot find that experience to be troubling.

I wonder how long it will take before this turns into some sort of seriously unworthy blaxploitation. Seriously: I can almost hear Trouble Man as it is.

The soundtrack to this Caindawg production is gonna suck, though.

Just saying.

Correction to the post: the link comprised of the words "This link" and the strikethrough will NOT, as indicated, direct your browser to the site started by Scott Olsen but it will direct your browser to a similar (I suspect) site populated by Marines.

Scott Olsen's site, as of 8:10 Eastern U.S. time, is unavailable.

I have been rankled ever since I heard Captain Obama mention OWS and the tea party in the same breath. I restrained myself after Tony Bologna's use of pepper spray; but after Scott Olsen I really could not restrain myself.

So I surfed on over to whitehouse.gov/contact and this is what I put into Captain Obama's inbox:

=======================================================

Over here Richard Day points at it; but he posted before this and this.

In a nutshell:

Marine Scott Olsen is deployed twice; comes home injured; joins peace movement; participates in Occupy Oakland; gets shot in head by tear gas canister; currently in critical condition.

Over at DNAinfo and the Daily News we find that Deputy Inspector Tony was "quietly" transferred to be nearer his family on Staten Island.

I just can't get it out of my head. All day long it's popped in and out:

Neo-liberal Craphounds.

What's wrong with America? Neo-liberal craphounds. What's running on the Republican ticket for Prez? Neo-liberal Craphounds. What wants to run on the Republican ticket for Prez, but can't? A functionally illiterate, but fertile,  Neo-liberal Craphound. With what does Obama seek comity and common political cause? Neo-liberal Craphounds.

Over at DNA Info we can see Murray Weiss ensuring that his sources in the NYPD stay fresh and friendly. The next to last sentence from his post:

"Bologna may have made a mistake in judgment and deserved a rip. But it is hard to see a crime here. "

Hard to see a crime here? I could understand that it might be hard to see anything if one had, say, pepper spray in one's eyes.

What's Murray's excuse?

With the news of Herman's book, I feel confident stating that Herman Cain is a self-aggrandizing bluejay.

Republicans seem to repeatedly display the habit of choosing to initiate the self-referential egress swirl. Maybe it's just me; but I'm pretty sure that's what happens when one pulls one's own handle.
