No new target letters, no new indictments and no black Fridays for Neocons. Sad days for the red meat bloggers at Fitzgerald.
BELFAST, Ireland, July 2 (UPI) -- An asteroid with the power to wipe out a small country will miss the Earth tomorrow, the Sunday Telegraph reported.
Asteroid 2004 XP14 is nearly half a mile wide and was discovered in December 2004. It is in the "Apollo" class of asteroids, which are those that cross orbits with Earth.
Initial speculation by scientists predicted the possibility of impact with Earth later this century, but that conclusion has been ruled out, the newspaper said.
When the asteroid passes Earth, it will be some 268,624 miles away, just slightly further away than the average distance of the Moon from Earth, the report said. A telescope will be required to view the asteroid, which will pass at 5:25 a.m. UK time.

Hmm Jeb’s sons, George P. George P. is currently a lawyer in private practice in Dallas and, aside from working on W's campaigns, has shown no interest in a political career

Well, Look here.
'Big Bidness', yep...those mofos will pay anything to make money and destroy the earth for our kids. How many do you got, Anon.?
Richard S. Lindzen needs to go do some more homework. There was indeed very heated debate on global warming for decades, whether it existed or not, if humans had anything to do with it if it did exist, and/or if it had anything to do with our current interglaciation (Holocene).
Mr. Lindzen at least needs to go take a look at a "National Geographic" special issue that came out within the past year, I believe (last summer?). It will be written in language he can understand. ;-)

What a fucking creep! You can tell that that asshole belongs to the Bush Clan! I'll bet he threatened the woman so she wouldn't press charges too!

Anon probably doesn't have kids. Who in the hell would sleep with it anyway?! And it's offspring would probably be drowned at birth anyway. One look at the offspring would make anyone sick!
just say no to fascism:
The entire Bush clan don't resepct any human being. Yes, I think that that the woman was threatened by the Gerbil clan not to press charges. But, this is how that family thinks. They think that they can buy any person at any price. But, when you do wrong, it comes back in full circle. A rat sooner or later has to come back to the rathole! And once a drunk is always a drunk! That's a true statement about the Bush family who follow this example!
We definitely have a global warming problem and if we don't do something about it soon, it will be too late...if it isn't too late already! Al Gore is so right about everything!
Military plans to study blogs, $450,000 granted for a 3 year study. Full article at Talkleft site.

Global warming. In your neighborhood.
So now the military plans to study blogs. Well have to go read that one. I am so sick of this intrusive government. How much longer.....
They had something on about global warming on that Sunday News program before "Face the Nation" this morning. Bush made campaign promises in 2000 and then promptly let the industries run amouk when he took office. (or may have relaxed the restrictions even more.)
Why do they want to read blogs anyway? Find out how much of the truth the public already knows about the corruption?
A spotlight on members of the corporate media and public relations spin machine, and their relatives and spouses. All in the family!
Yes, we do have issue with Global Warming. I am glad that Al Gore came out with his documentary to educate the public. Gore told Jon Stewart that he had been working on his concern about Global Warming while he was in office. This showed his dedication to his concern about global warming.
And about the military being payed to study blogs.. Waste of time.. But, it is irriating of invasion of privacy by the government!

I have no idea who this guy is, but that is wild stuff.
Reading blogs by the military is not an invasion of privacy because blogs are public. But, it is a:
COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME AND TAXPAYER MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Pentagon,
If you are reading this, please get back to work, chasing the real bad guys.
Thanks!
SPB, is this one of yours? What will the girls in the office thing?

So. . . what is up with another group of people from Dubai buying up those NYC port facilities, and then re-selling those to the original buyer from Dubai that touched off the controversy?
That's smart thinking on Dubai's part. It'll work. That deal was done along time ago and nothing will break it. Remember Bush knew nothing of the deal only Rove/Cheney. Look Daddy Bush hired Bill Clinton to review his part of the contract. The backroom boys are doing business while the Gerbil as the front man. Dubai ownes a large hotel in New York so look for Dubai to keep buying American property and businesses.
Teak.

I see what you mean...sounds like a money gimick. That blog makes my eyes hurt.
What is Walter Cronkite? Scammer too now? Thanks for the link.
Check out the video from Meet the Press on crooksandliars.com:
"On Meet the Press this morning, Washington Post reporter Dana Priest snap back at Bill Bennett. She said it is not a crime to disclose classified information and then went on to say that people would like to make casino gambling against the law, but it is not illegal. Bill Bennett, who has previously admitted a gambling problem, sat in stunned silence like he had just been punched hard in the stomach. It was a classic moment."
LMAO -- great Bennett fun again...my favorite hypocrite...and he is very nasty to Andrea Mitchell on the show...I would have kicked him in his little b@lls...Bennettt, what a "gurly boy"

Enterprise Mission has interesting articles and pics, but you have to dig way, way back for them. Years.Anymore more he writes with screw loose it appears.

EL CAMPO, Tex. -- Even though Donald R. Matthews put his sprawling new residence in the heart of rice country, he is no farmer. He is a 67-year-old asphalt contractor who wanted to build a dream house for his wife of 40 years.
Yet under a federal agriculture program approved by Congress, his 18-acre suburban lot receives about $1,300 in annual "direct payments," because years ago the land was used to grow rice. (snip)
Meanwhile, the little farmers will struggle or go out of business. Fuel prices, fertlizer prices higher and insurance higher...nope, they are not making it. Most people tend to lump all farmers together and read articles like this...never having a clue how hard is for the average farmer.
Hmmm...
The report also contained evidence of Abramoff's strong ties to the Bush White House. One White House political official, Leonard Rodriguez, told Fine's investigators he kept Abramoff aware of information relevant to Guam "at the behest of Ken Mehlman, the White House Political Director," the report said. There was no explanation of why Mehlman would have wanted the information shared with Abramoff.

PETER AND RICK EXCELLENT ADVENTURE:
"Information is a potent weapon in the current war. Al Qaeda uses the Internet very effectively and uses the media as a terrorist tool. If the American public can be deceived by people who withhold basic information, we risk losing the war at home, even if we win it on the battlefield. The debate should focus on the basic question--what, exactly, we need to do to succeed both here and in Iraq. We are dismayed to have learned how many people in our own government are trying to distort that debate."
Interesting comments all, and Happy 4th.
I know all of us and maybe even trolls value Independence from the Crown day. Maybe...

LOL.
Final Posting:
Since we are approaching 4th of July, I wanted for all of us to reflect the meaning of Independence Day and what the Founding Fathers had sacrificed for the Declaration of Independence to be written and establish in this country. Let's not forget the soldiers overseas.
Declaration of Independence: The Want, Will, and the Hopes of the People
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Good night folks! Signing off!
Sorry didn't read the damn thing all the way first.
Oh, one last thing regarding the faux Libby Defense Fund website. I found this article interesting from them regarding Porkrind getting a temporary freedom card:
"Are we saying that Fitzgerald was told to back off a Rove indictment?
No, we have no firm indication of that whatsoever. But, we took note of the possibility laid out on one blog -- and, well, it is a possibility after all, isn't it? But, like all things in the Bush Administration, we are left only with various hypotheses about why Rove wasn't indicted.
Only Patrick Fitzgerald knows for sure.
And, right now, he's not talking.
The guy is a professional to the core -- unlike loose lips Ken Starr.
We respect him for that."
http://libbydefensefund.com/news/06/0618.htm
Good night, all!
Cloak and dagger.de has interesting post about judges you might want to read first.
SPB, I don't think Mr. Fitzgerald is the type of person that could live with himself if not giving his all against such corruption. The fact that he doesn't care which side the crooks are on or BOTH speaks highly of him. I'm sure all of Team Fitz and various evil fighters are like that, not the few "bad apples" appearing in public. Good night and Happy 4th.
In response to your request (on last thread) for evidence that PJF will not call Rove to testify
Government's response to Third Motion to Compel
See Page 15, next to last paragraph.
Happy 4th to all...
except those who support the war.
Hi Folks,
Now I know bringing this kind of News is Biloxis Job but did you all know that:
There is NO LAW after which you have to pay INCOME TAX because it is a direct tax...
Someone has made a short movie looking into this and your Federal Reserve Bank which isn't federal but PRIVATE????
and other topics such as Bush seizing power and marshall law and so on...
Folks watch it, it doesn't affect me but it's schocking!!

"In response to your request (on last thread) for evidence that PJF will not call Rove to testify"
Finally someone that backs up what he/she says with facts. FACTS??? That is a foreign concept on this blog. The blowhard SPB had rather work from conjecture and false reports from the likes of Jason Leopold. FACTS!!! That is both wanted and refreshing. The one man that has the facts but seldom shares them is the man who supposedly runs this blog.
Ann Coulter RULES, She is the WOMAN!!!!
Top of the morning everyone and Dr. Evil aka Al Rogers
Al your right Ann Coulter rules the PLAGIARISM of her book. Now that's a true Republican example for our kids to follow and the values of our Bush education plan. Thank you so much Al if not for your continued in put of Ann's actions we would have never known this information. This clears up the Bush plan for no child left behind all they have to do is follow Ann's example and PLAGIARIZE.
Hi, its jordan again. Will us kids have to pay for the money Bush has spent in the war through taxes. If so, thats 293 billion dollars he's left us to pay off, and we are still there. I just learned 43 thousand have died in Iraq. And the troops haven't found anything.
What it do 'lil Dashizznit dawg?
LOl. My friend made that name for me. Do you know what it is or means?
I also found a mysterious candidate for president on blogger. this is his site. http://theunknowncandidate.blogspot.com

TRENTON, New Jersey (AP) -- Courts, motor vehicle offices and inspection stations are closed. Lottery ticket sales have been halted. The same could happen to betting at race tracks and casinos.
More than half the state work force was staying home Monday on the first weekday of a statewide shutdown that began after lawmakers missed a July 1 deadline to adopt a new state budget.
The furlough affects about 45,000 state employees. It exempts personnel deemed essential, including state police, prison guards, child welfare workers and some administration staff.
Gov. Jon S. Corzine closed state government Saturday amid an impasse with fellow Democrats in the Assembly that left New Jersey with no means to spend money. He met in private with top Assembly and Senate leaders for nearly four hours Sunday but no compromise was reached.
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening folks!
Happy Monday!
And good to see you back, Jordan!
Anon at 2:05 am:
Thank you for your information. There has been so many anon on this blog. I just wanted to make sure that the person who was relying a message to me had a legal background. I don't want to give out information on Fitz' blog without backing it up with facts and evidence since Fitz has had this case in secrecy. It is hard to predict what Fitz' strategies at times. And I will go to the paragragh that you just mentioned. Thanks!
"a true Republican example for our kids to follow and the values of our Bush education plan."
-- LOL Jackie! mAnn Coulter is our New Poster Boy for No Plagiarizing Child Left Behind because the Repugs have no new ideas...
I needed a laugh this morning just thinking about all of the pervasive corruption in the WH & Congress...
Good Morning Justice Bloggers...
Well, this is an interesting story
CNN Link to Zarqawi Article
But, let's wait a couple more days to see what comes of this before too many people start making assumptions. One article on CNN from last week was based on bogus information.
Jordan, thanks for the link! I wish there was an unknown candidate for Illinois governor for November. I am not happy with either one right now.
I am saddened by McCain's love-in with Dumbya the past 2 years...he is a real sell-out; he must want the Presidency too much...someone needs to tell him what can happen when selling your soul...
Check out the two lovebirds hugging on HuffPo's front page...

Good to see u again too SPB. I wasn't on blogger or anything for a few weeks. i am pretty busy during the summer. But this weekend I didn't have anything to do.
Al your right Ann Coulter rules the PLAGIARISM of her book. That was funny, Jackie! Now that is what you call "tough love."
NEW YORK (AP) - Published reports that the U.S. was monitoring international banking transactions were not news to the terrorists who were its target because the Bush administration had already "talked openly" about the effort, The New York Times' top editor said Sunday.
NYT: Bank Program Not News to Terrorists
Mann Coulter is a no-talent, plaigarizing hemaphrodite.
Chimpcoulter:
It a shame about McCain. He was real strong leader in the GOP. I may have not like some of his issues in the past. But, he was very dedicated to his political party and shared a deep concern about the military. However, he has sold himself to the Gerbil big time. And he used to be called The Maverick? I don't think that he even have a chance for the Presidency. And he certainly need to worry about his own state in Arizona espcailly about the Tillman coverup case. With all of the bear hugs and love for the Gerbol only means that he is either directly or indirectly involved some deal with the Gerbil. And I wonder if he is directly or indirectly involved in the Abramoff scandal.. Makes you wonder...
And good to see you again, Jordan!
The "paragraph" you cite is meaningless! It only states Rove and Hadley "does not intend to call them as witnesses at this time"-for THIS particular CASE-despite that Libby wants to put their ugly conduct on trial too. But it isn't their case, this one is for JUST Libby...
Not to worry-Rove and Hadley will have plenty to witness in their own trials.
Forget your buddies anon-put in a fork in them-they are done! Justice will be served.
Jordan,
I read PJF saying in this docuemnt: "the government does not intend to call Mr. Rove or Mr. Hadley as witnesses at this time..."
I would say that PJF has somewhat left that avenue open with his statements, not ruling it out completely. He may not need to call either Rove or Hadley to prove his case against Libby. But we are not sure whether this case will lead to other people involved in a conspiracy...
Wasn't Karl Rove Official A, and doesn't Fitz always indict Official A in all his cases?
That's what I read.
And by the way, what happened to Roger?
Could they use Rove or hadley against Cheney? If the charges were dropped against Rove then they must have had some kind of deal.
PS-Anon, Looking forward to Rove's indictment in particular. You see, Fitz does not need Rove/Haldley to testify to convict Libby. Libby case is open and shut-just like Gitmo-when it finally got to court. Sad day to be a neorepublican...
Hadley can also tell us all about why he changed his name and how a convicted insurance fraud felon got clearance to work in our governments highest levels.
Fitz doesn't have crap. He has Libby up on charges of having a bad memory and it doesn't go to trial until Febuary. Much ado about nothing.
If Fitz had anything on Rove or Cheney he would have indicted them. Wishful thinking is just that, wishful.
EEEEWWWWW!!! Troll Alert! Notice the intense, gagging smell of sulfur. One of Lucifer's minions, some psyops creep, or just some bored miserable person wanting to inflict same on others? Who knows, who cares. Born to be ignored, that one is.
Hmmm...
I did read paragragh 15 about the government not intending to call Rove or Hadley.. But, the more that I think it. Was Karl Rove really "Official A" Or I call it the #1 guy? It just makes me wonder about the person's comments from a previous post that "Rove is just small potatoes." Fitzgerald is known for getting the number 2 guy to get to the number 1 guy.. And from March 5, 2004 and March 24, 2004 testimony by the little soldier about Cheney and the handwritten note. And that document says "Johm Doe." Hmmm.. And Cheney told CNN that he may be testifying at Libby's trial...Yet Chimpcoulter says: But we are not sure whether this case will lead to other people involved in a conspiracy... I am sure more individuals are tied in to the leak case. But I wonder if it has to do with the State Dept. Memo (which ties into the leaking of Plame's name) mention in the NY Times article in 2005...
Don't worry, folks, I just thinking out loud...
Time Poll:
66% say country is on wrong track.
Bush at 35%
Anon is wrong.

A New Partnership Binds Old Republican Rivals
By JIM RUTENBERG and ADAM NAGOURNEY
After years of competitive and often contentious dealings, President Bush and Senator John McCain of Arizona are building a deepening if impersonal relationship that is serving the political needs of both men.
Given their history of intense rivalry and sometimes personally bitter combat, their newfound partnership is seen by some Republicans as born more of political calculation than personal evolution. Either way, it could prove valuable to Mr. McCain in his efforts to win the Republican presidential nomination in 2008 by sending a signal to Mr. Bush's conservative base and fund-raising network that, at a minimum, the White House will not stand in the Arizonan's way.
the sanitation department: Let's not forget about Porkrind's other cesspool connection such as the voting rigging and his direct connection with Grove Norquist! People are just concentrating on Porkrind's connection with the leak case only. But, the slab of pork is up to his eyeballs with other graft!
SPB...
Another bit of info about Rove's testimony. I read somewhere that Libby's lawyers have stated that if the prosecution did not call Rove as a witness, they would.
Hmmm. Who knows what moves Fitz intends to put into play at the time of the trial?

Anonymous at 11:50am:
That would be a disaster on the defense part. Wells, Jeffress, Tate, and Cline are playing into the Team Fitz's hands.. If Porkrind is called to testify in the defense, and if he lies on any part of his testimony (which Fitz will review Rove's five testimonies to the GJ), then Rove is caught like a dead duck! This will work in Fitz's favor for sure if that is what the defense's strategy! The little soldier is spending some much money on legal fees on a lame duck defense!
I just hope one of them get indicted(Rove, Hadley, Libby, or Cheney.)
Are people in D.C. gunna watch the Fireworks? I saw them last year. They were great!
SPB:'
I think you are absolutely correct on the Rover thought. If he testifies in any trial and his testimony deviates in any way from what he told the GJ, he is absolute TOAST.
Something is up - Rover is NOT off of the hook by any means. A deal was made. It is the only thing that makes any sense at all.
Someone is going down...
Basheert,
Rove is certainly not off the hokk by a long shot. As I said to Anon, I think was trying to see what trump card strategy that the defense was going to spin regarding a possible testimony by Rove. Because Fitz said that he was not going to call Rove or Hadley, he knew that the defense would call Rove. I would have love to find out exactly what Rove said to the GJ and Fitz for the five times that he gave testimony, what Cheney said to Fitz (not under oath), and what the Gerbil said to Fitz in that 70 minute interview (not under oath).. But, Rove will hang himself in the Libby trial. Team Libby really underestimated Fitz' strategy. For an expensive and prestige attorneys, Team Libby surely feel asleep at the wheel on their defense to bail the smurf out.
