COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

  2. Not a good year for sports teams, from Dallas.

    A good year for some teams in San Fransisco. Not so good for all of them, though.

    The projected high temperature, today in Phoenix, 96 degrees.

    None of our professional sports teams are that hot.

    Neither are our politicos.

    NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- General Electric will order "tens of thousands" of electric cars in about a week, the conglomerate's chief executive said Friday.

    In a speech in London, CEO Jeffrey Immelt said the purchase would be the largest of its kind in history. But he did not specify exactly how many vehicles GE would buy, nor what brand of electric cars would be included in the order.

    I’m not saying Fox supports terrorists. I’m saying Fox inspires them.


    Not a Muslim in the bunch, but all are domestic terrorists, all arrested, some convicted, that found solace and motivation from the programing at FOX News.

  8. What, that the seven rescuers that were killed in the Iraqi church rescue attempt, were, most likely, Muslims?

    That the numbers of the hostages killed, in relationship to the total number of hostages, mirrored Russia's hostage rescues where Islamoid terrorists seized public places.

    All true.
    Just as the connections to FOX News and those domestic terrorists are verifiable.

    That it does not play to the regular programing, in the Echo Bar, true too.

    In an unusual move, feds subpoena wedding photos of reputed mobster

    By George Anastasia
    Inquirer Staff Writer
    Picture this: Reputed mob boss Joe Ligambi is dressed in a tuxedo. He's rubbing elbows with alleged members and associates of the Philadelphia underworld at a swank wedding reception, holding court at a table near the front of the room, stopping occasionally to pose for pictures.

    It sounds like a scene out of The Godfather.

    But the possibility of such a scenario has whetted the appetite of federal investigators.

    In a highly unusual move, the feds have subpoenaed the work of a private photographer hired to take shots at the recent reception of Anthony Staino, the reputed number-two man in the South Philadelphia mob, according to law enforcement sources.

    Staino, 55, and his wife celebrated their marriage with an expensive gathering at the Curtis Center in Philadelphia in September. The couple, who live in Woolwich Township, Gloucester County, were wed earlier, but marked the occasion with the Sept. 11 affair.

    Ligambi, 71, and several other reputed mob members and associates were among about 300 family members and friends who attended. Another special guest was the groom's 78-year-old uncle, legendary South Philadelphia mobster Ralph "Junior" Staino.

    Both the Philadelphia Police Department and FBI had surveillance teams outside, taking pictures of guests as they arrived, according to a police officer who worked that day.

  19. Delaware's state Democratic Party is claiming that supporters of Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell are creating problems at some polling locations in the state.

    This, as the campaign of Democrat Chris Coons e-mails supporters expressing concerns over turnout levels in the Democratic bastion of New Castle County.

    In an e-mail to supporters early Tuesday afternoon, Coons campaign manager Christy Gleason wrote that the campaign was observing "lower turnout in New Castle and Kent counties than we’re comfortable with."

  37. Mr Awlaki, believed to be hiding in Yemen's mountains, has publicly called for more attacks on the US. The Guardian reported that a gifted student convicted yesterday of attempting to stab to death a former British government minister was ins-pired by his internet sermons.

    A US official said that the addresses on the packages in the foiled attacks last week were outdated addresses for Jewish institutions in Chicago. The addresses are one reason that investigators now believe the plan may have been to blow up the aircraft, since there were no longer synagogues at the Chicago locations.

    US counter-terrorism officials said they were taking a new look at the crash of a United Parcel Service cargo plane in Dubai on September 3 in light of the explosives plot. An initial investigation of that crash and on-board fire, in which two pilots died, found there was no evidence of an explosion.

  38. From City Data:


    The southern part of Arizona has most of the state's largest ethnic majority, a Hispanic and Latino population estimated at 1,295,617 in 2000, or 25.3% of the total population (up from the 1990 figure of 668,000, or 18% of the population). There are some old, long-settled Spanish villages, but the bulk of Hispanics (1,065,578) are of Mexican origin. Raul Castro, a Mexican-American, served as governor in 1975–77. There were an estimated 158,873 blacks as of 2000. Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, and other Asians made up 1.8% of the population.

    Despite the death of 53-year-old incumbent Oropeza, she still has a likely chance to win the race for State Senate in the 28th district. Because her death on Oct. 20 was within 10 days of the election, her name remains on the ballot.

    A week after her death, Democrats sent out mailers to residents, calling for voters to still reelect Oropeza. The mailers featured Secretary of State Debra Bowen and Democratic Party general counsel Martha Escutia.

  145. Tea Party won 35 and lost 54, but they came from nowhere and woke the Republicans up and cost them the Senate.

    The Republicans can use their strong minority status in the Senate more effectively than if they had a razor thin majority.

  146. Republican takes Obama's seat in Illinois.

  147. That calls for a Rolling Rock or a Yeungling.

  148. That's funny. The Dead people voted, and elected a Dead representative. :)

    Gotta love Dems.

  149. I like Joe Trippi. "The great thing about a democracy is one of the morons gets to win." :)

  150. Real Clear Politics has Reid declared winning. By a good margin too.

    Haven't heard anything about Washington state.

  151. Actually they have Murray up 51 to 49 for Rossi with 66% reporting.

    ReplyDelete
  152. So, The pubs take Alaska (either Murkowski, or Miller;) that gives them 47. What's left?

    Co. Buck was behind the last I saw.

    Wa. Hard to see Rossi winning, now.

    That makes it Dems 51 -- Pubs 47 -- Independents 2 (both caucus with the Dems)

  153. Reid winning will payoff in 2012 for the Republicans and you have to laugh, California elects Gerry Brown.

    The illegals will have put Harry over the top.

  154. It's the last roundup for Rossi. He's out of politics.

  155. Moonbeam is at least honest.

    He's famous for saying "All politicians lie."


    Marijuana initiative goes down in California.

  156. hmmm, Buck might pull it out. He's up 3

  157. Hell, he's famous for saying,

    "I Lied." "through my teeth, sweethear." "What'cha going to do about it?"

  158. I hope Miller wins in Alaska. He's a very accomplished guy.

    I think he will too.

  159. California's a trip.

  160. My brother and sister live there. Haven't been there in years.

    Willie Brown of Bay Area fame, perennial politician, said Palin did exactly the right thing in getting out of Alaska, if she wants to go higher, which she does, bless her heart.

  161. Buck up 3 with over 60% reporting. He may well win alright.

    ReplyDelete
  162. "Write-in" is winning in Ak.

    Freakin' amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Buck up 3 with 74% reporting.

    He is winning.

  164. God bless the 2 yr. election cycle.

  165. UPDATE: 11:17 - The news teams are flailing for an explanation, but it appears that the Boulder County Clerk mistakenly put votes for Bennet in Buck's column. Now they've corrected it. This will certainly mean that the results of this race will be in a legal quagmire for some time. Buck and Bennet at 48% and 47%, respectively.

  166. Alaska McAdams 25% Miller 34% Write-In 40%

  167. I'm trashed. Good night.

    We gotta get together, and do it again, in say, 2012. :)

  168. So am I. Not staying up for the returns from North's Ass, Alaska.

  169. .
    Fox hasn't had very good analysis, tonight.

    It all sucked.

    CNBC was a laugh riot.

    Fox had Palin and Rove. Couldn't watch that.

    NBC was mediocre.

    ABC had Diane Sawyer. Good lord.

    Even Bloomberg. Neil Cavuto is talking to some guy about how Obama will react the the results and he likens it to Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam.

    Am I being too critical here?
