* it turns out that driftglass 'knows' james frey (link)
* driftglass: "One other added bonus of a filibuster: it'd deliver one hell of a kick in the teeth to this Administration's Bullshit Campaign during the State of the Union. Hell, if it was a real, "talking" filibuster, they might just have to reschedule the Preznit's Mendacious Goodtime Iraqi Happy Hour to some other day." (link)
indeed. as i mentioned earlier - i can't for the life of me understand why they scheduled the vote for tuesday. thinking about it a little bit further - is it possible that whatever scary shit Blinky has to say on tuesday would increase the likelihood of a 'no' vote on alito? i had hitherto seen the two things as independent of each other - but perhaps that's not the case. (although ms wallace's stupid comment the other day suggests there isn't much to be concerned about)
* speaking of alito, much kudos to bob fertik at democrats.com for rallying the troops. he's getting some great traction.
* driftglass paints the end-game of the egadministration. "With fully one-third of the Republican leadership cutting deals with Federal investigators, and another third either on the run, in prison, awaiting trial or having committed .38 caliber sepuku, everyone knows how this will end." (link)
* driftglass thinks that Blinky is the anti-sinatra. (link)
* speaking of driftglass - one of you left an anonymous comment on someone else's blog (which i can't find at the moment) simply suggesting that people read both wotisitgood4 and driftglass. now, i've had a pretty good bloggy year - the rawstory article, the impeachment poll thing, the whole sibel thing, and a few other highlights - but being mentioned in the same breath as driftglass??? that's just downright silly.

I confess...it woz me. Cheers.
Actually, I like your site but most of the details are beyond me. I just figure if I stare at it hard enuff some of it will sink in - it's good therapy for me.
I spend time over at culhavoc who is heavily into the fact that the DOD is running 3-day Nuclear Attack Exercise on 31st Jan in Texas City. This is all conspiracy stuff, you understand, but as I've 'bought the package' and believe a lot of this stuff (ever since the original fake bin ladin confession video) I like to see where my conspiracies are taking me.
I do know that plans were drawn up in Aug 2005 by STRATCOM on Vice Pres. Cheney’s instructions to authorise an immediate nuclear attack on Iran in response to any 9/11 type terrorist attack in the US - regardless of Iranian involvement. Bush has only ever had the terrorism card to play, so that's there too.The anthrax attacks never impressed me either as having anything to do with bin Laden... all homegrown in my view.
Mindful of these bits of flotsam floating in my consciousness, I maintain a healthy level of adrenaline which keeps me happy.
None of this has anything to do with your fact-filled, quality site. I just touch down occasionally to see if any reality based picture is emerging. Are you taking bets on where this runaway Bush bus is going in 2006? Any ditches in sight?
ps. existentialistcowboy is nice.
i'd be honored to be mentioned in teh same breath as Drift. He rocks.
You rock too, I plugged you and Larua Rozen on Americablog the other day wher they had a post on the Dukestir & Delay connection.
thanks both of you. very kind.
driftglass truly is an artist. and laura rozen is awesome too - she does great work.
damien - i'll check out those two sites. thanks for the tip. when you say that the details are beyond you - is it cos i dont preent them well? should i add more context every time i quote things? or organise the posts better? any other suggestions?
no lukery, everything you do is fine mate... you've got a great site.
it's just that i'm not as up to date on all the players as you are.
and all the references to various companies, groups, agencies etc is just that there's a lot of them. i have the same trouble over at wayne madsen... i just need to catch up more.
i particularly like your leader quotes that take me to intersting articles. keep up the good work. cheers!
