wake up and smell the coffee

Janet, I think it’s time to look under the other beds…

A California man killed in a shootout with Pentagon police drove cross-country and arrived at the military headquarters’ subway entrance armed with two semiautomatic weapons, authorities said Friday. The shooter apparently left behind Internet postings resentful of the government and airing suspicions about the 9/11 attacks.
John Patrick Bedell, 36, of Hollister, Calif., was named as the gunman in the Thursday evening attack. Authorities said he’d had previous run-ins with the law.

~

Signs emerged that Bedell harbored ill feelings toward the government and the armed forces, and had questioned the circumstances behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
~ * ~

The user named JPatrickBedell wrote the Sabow case was “a step toward establishing the truth of events such as the September 11 demolitions.”

That same posting railed against the government’s enforcement of marijuana laws and included links to the author’s 2006 court case in Orange County, Calif., involving allegations of cultivating marijuana and resisting a police officer.


John Patrick Bedell: Did right-wing extremism lead to shooting?

the Lympians are running the mookatorium

February 25th, 2010

Amid considerable controversy that seems destined to spill over into the 2010 legislative races, Governor Gregoire and the Democratic-controlled Legislature have suspended a voter-approved initiative that would have required a supermajority two-thirds of both houses to boost taxes or eliminate tax exemptions…

March 4th, 2010

Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown wants voters to weigh in on the idea of an income tax on high earners.

In a blog posting on Thursday, the Spokane Democrat suggested that the Legislature pass the Senate Democrats’ temporary three-tenths-of-a-cent increase sales tax increase proposal and that it take effect immediately. But Brown also suggested that the Senate should pass a bill sponsored by Sen. Rosa Franklin, a referendum that would ask voters whether they want to lower the sales tax to 5.5 cents once the temporary sales tax increase expires in 2013, and in its place approve a “high earners” income tax.

The tax would be on 4.5 percent on all income over $200,000 for individuals, $300,000 for heads of households, and $400,000 for married couples.

“It’s a question to voters if that’s the direction they would want to go..........

todaze protests from around the world

how to make friends.......

An estimated 150 people were arrested Thursday evening after a splinter group broke away from a large protest in Oakland and took to I-880 and I-980, a police spokesman said.
The group took to the streets of Oakland just after 4 p.m. Thursday afternoon, marching away from a downtown rally protesting massive cuts to education as Oakland police followed
Just before 5 p.m. at the intersection of 11th and Castro, the group made its move and bolted, swarming onto Interstate 980.
“It’s pretty clear that once they got to the freeway that there were intentions to disrupt traffic throughout the Bay Area,” said Thomason.
The group started running at the 880-980 interchange behind them, police in riot gear pursuing on foot. The crowd then jumped from northbound 880 to southbound 880
One witness says a protestor trying to avoid arrest made a move and leaped off the interstate.
“[He] tried to jump onto a tree and then hit the ground and wasn’t moving,” said Mike Lewis, one of the protesters involved in the freeway demonstration..............

......and influence people......

I feel safer already


At least 200 inmates received early releases from the L.A. County jail system this week because officials couldn’t find beds for them as the Sheriff’s Department attempted to downsize the population of a detention facility in Castaic.

The action occurred as the Sheriff’s Department is trying to cuts its budget by about 9% by reducing deputy overtime and slashing the inmate population at the north facility of the Pitchess Detention Center.

Sheriff’s Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said the inmates were released beginning Tuesday. Sheriff’s Department policy requires that most male inmates serve at least 80% of their sentence. Whitmore said these inmates were released after serving only about 50% of their sentence because there was nowhere else to place them.

Hmmmm… what to do.

What.to.do.

the pen is mightier than the budget cut


The City of Los Angeles is facing its worst budget crisis in generations, one that has the City Council considering laying off 1,500 people, eliminating entire city departments and cutting police and fire budgets and personnel. Tough decisions. Bad times.

At least one councilman has his priorities straight. During council negotiations this week to try to trim $208 million from city spending, the Westside’s Bill Rosendahl stood up for calligraphy, notes LAist. That’s right, he made a stand for the $1 million the city spends on handing out honorary certificates that commend, for example, Matthew Broderick, Queen Latifah and George Lopez. Because what rich, famous celebrities really need is a piece of paper that says the city recognizes them.

“ ... Whatever we need to do to preserve it, I want to do,” Rosendahl reportedly said.

And of course, the citizens of District 11 overwhelmingly voted to reelect this city clowncilman last year with 75% of the vote over conservative Harry Wilson.

I wonder how many are having buyer’s remorse.

todaze celebrity scandal rumor wtf

Sarah Palin aligns her public image with the heartland, but it appears the former Alaska Governor has gone Hollywood. And when she leaves, she may be taking some of it with her.

On top of an appearance on the Tonight Show and rumors that she’s shopping around a TV show with reality producer Mark Burnett, Palin and her entourage were seen partaking in one of celebrity’s lushest rituals—the Oscar gifting suite.

While the group was loading up on freebies, the Los Angeles Times reported that, “Palin’s middle child, Willow, got her hair styled, receiving a blowout from Erick Orellana of the Chris McMillan Salon (Jennifer Aniston’s longtime hairstylist).”

The Times also indicated that Palin was supposed to donate $1,700 along with all of her gift items to the Red Cross, which is currently helping with relief efforts in Haiti and Chile.

But E! Online insists, “we can assure you she did not give up any of her swag.” They quote an unnamed vendor who claims that upwards of 20 people from the Palin camp swarmed the event. “They were like locusts,” he told the entertainment news outlet...........

tonight’s wedgie from the wayback machine

October 2008:

THE presidential campaign has taken a detour into a dispute over the constitutional status of the vice presidency. It all started when Sarah Palin asserted in her debate with Joe Biden that the vice president should play an important role in the legislative branch.

Ms. Palin has been roundly mocked for her claim

… oodib-eew-oodib-eew-oodib-eew...

March 2010:

Should passing health care reform come down to the use of reconciliation—and all signs point that way—Vice President Joseph Biden could play a hugely influential role in determining not only what’s in the bill but whether or not it passes.

Two experts in the arcane rules of the Senate said on Monday that, as president of the Senate, Biden has the capacity not just to overrule any ruling that the parliamentarian may make but also to cut off efforts by Republicans to offer unlimited amendments.

“Ultimately it’s the Vice President of the United States [who has the power over the reconciliation process],” Robert Dove, who served as Senate parliamentarian on and off from 1981-2001, told MSNBC this morning. ”It is the decision of the Vice President whether or not to play a role here

Yep, step one to enlightenment: ignore the accumulated knowledge, lessons, and wisdom accumulated by billions of people smarter than you covering thousands of years. It’s the traditional sport of sophomores.

May I humbly recommend an alternative step 1: limit your goals. If your method leads to new insights on simple, testable questions, then by all means, proceed to wider goals. By “limit,” I mean begin by trying to define any six 5+letter words you used in the mission statement. That will give you a good idea of your probability of success.
