"Many entities acting out of very different, self-interested motives but the end result is a conspiracy. Multiple actors working together, with tight coordination even if not strict command and control, towards a common goal."

my baby was crying the other night
she lay still just like a stone
she said ’honey, I will get you’
but the voice was not her own
I looked underneath the bed
I looked around the door
I looked every damn place I could
until I couldn’t look no more
but when it was time for loving
she made just like a junkie
she said she had a new lover
the filipino monkey
filipino monkey
took my baby away
filipino monkey
laughing in the bay
come and get me, monkey
come right out and play
but there was only laughter
the filipino monkey way
I joined up in the Navy
to see the seven seas
headed over to Hormuz
got a new pair of jet skis Read below the fold...
Now, I would not go so far as to say 'Hillary stole NH.' I don't have any evidence for that at all. But gosh! AT isn't exactly a foil-lover's CT rag, now is it? cautiously eyes lambert Perhaps this guy is about to get nothing but egg on his face, it's still an interesting read. Read below the fold...

we know in Michigan. If you'd like to comment on this plan, visit:
Dear Michigan Friend,
We're not going to beat around the Bush. If you want to help make mischief for
the Republican Party - and bolster the Democrats' chances for taking the White
House this November - read on!
As I've been reading and posting here today, no fewer than three military (trust me, I know the sound) helicopters have flown over my staid, quiet suburb of a not-politically important stretch of burb.
I can't help but wonder: it's all on my tab, no? That is, what does it cost to suspend a 0000000$ military helicopter presence over my head, my neighbors' heads, this night? Every night? And at the cost of what else? Read below the fold...
C'mon, it wouldn't be me if I didn't post this. So I guess a lot of folks are wiping egg off their faces this morning? Heh. I have no real insight into "what the results mean," except to say Never Count Hillary Out. For a lot of reasons. Our good friend Brad continues on his one man crusade to document the irregularities of videopoker voting. Just keep it in mind, OK? Read below the fold...
Since we’re talking about Obama. I couldn’t figure out why my spidey sense won’t let me accept this. I ask my self Xenophon, old boy, is this just hateration??
To which my self responds in true Chicago fashion, that motherfucker couldn’t beat Bobby Rush. And the number one law in Chicago is we can always take this shit to the streets. Capone, Daley, Washington, Hampton, Hoover, Fort, Jones, Rostenkowski, Emmanuelle all great Chicago politicians have a touch of the streets. Not Obama. Why couldn’t a Columbia, Harvard educated (He never mentions Charles Hamilton Houston, hmmm) law professor beat a mumble mouthed COINTELPRO refugee? Read below the fold...
The head of the federal agency investigating Karl Rove's White House political operation is facing allegations that he improperly deleted computer files during another probe, using a private computer-help company, Geeks on Call.
Why is it taking White House officials so long to restore millions of deleted e-mails from the backup tapes they claim to have?
The e-mails in question date from March 2003 to October 2005 -- a crucial period that includes the Iraq invasion, a presidential election and Hurricane Katrina.
I'm with Kevin Drum and Jim Henley in their befuddlement that this story, reported over the weekend, has kicked up so little dust.
Kevin brought it to my attention with a short post to that effect, one of the reasons he is invaluable. Others, like Jim, are beginning to pick up on it, and Mr. Henley supplies some fascinating background. With a story like this, the more the merrier; we need to get it noticed by the village, and the name, "Hagazy," as well known as "Hamden." Read below the fold...
Let's have a Free for all post. Jeralyn is ticked off, because a judge punishing a reporter who broke the law wants her to do a public interest story as penance. Is this wrong? A bad idea? Why, or why not? Read below the fold...
