Scott Olsen's website

By nothere on Thu, 11/03/2011 - 9:58am |

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.

My recent missive to Our Fearless Leader

By nothere on Thu, 10/27/2011 - 6:37pm |

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:

This, sadly, was inevitable....

By nothere on Wed, 10/26/2011 - 8:37pm |

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.

Neo-liberal craphounds

By nothere on Tue, 10/25/2011 - 7:47pm |

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.

Murray Weiss and Tony Bologna

By nothere on Thu, 10/20/2011 - 7:09pm |

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?

Herman Cain

By nothere on Tue, 10/18/2011 - 11:16am |

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.

All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO
