in listening to the spinmeisters that Olbermann and Maddow had on tonight regarding the state secrets stance mentioned in an early post from the Ninth Circuit Court, they are saying that the new administration can't move too quickly and has to maintain some sense of continuity until it can make the case for change.

Obama Backs Off a Reversal on Secrets (New York Times, February 9, 2009)
in response to a case before the Ninth Circuit Court
When asked by the justices,
The court was surprised and inquired again. The reponse:
so, here is the first of what i fear will be a litany of my making this statement:
there will be no change, real change that is. Obama is first and foremost a politician. Nothing more; nothing less.
as another example, Obama has already indicated he is going to take more time to consider revoking DADT. As one blogger, and the New York Times, have already asked, "How many more studies do we have to have when all the research and surveys show this to no longer be a big issue with the brass even asking the same question.

in response to a case before the Ninth Circuit Court
...Binyam Mohamed, an Ethiopian native, and four other detainees filed suit against a subsidiary of Boeing for arranging flights for the Bush administration’s “extraordinary rendition” program, in which terrorism suspects were secretly taken to other countries, where they say they were tortured.The new administration, who criticized the Bush administration for its handling of terrorism cases, invoked the exact same stance concerning states-secrets
When asked by the justices,
...a government lawyer, Douglas N. Letter, made the same state-secrets argument on Monday, startling several judges on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
“Is there anything material that has happened” that might have caused the Justice Department to shift its views, asked Judge Mary M. Schroeder, an appointee of President Jimmy Carter, coyly referring to the recent election.
“No, your honor,” Mr. Letter replied.
Judge Schroeder asked, “The change in administration has no bearing?”
Once more, he said, “No, Your Honor.” The position he was taking in court on behalf of the government had been “thoroughly vetted with the appropriate officials within the new administration,” and “these are the authorized positions,” he said.

“No, your honor,” he said once more. The position he was taking in court on behalf of the government had been “thoroughly vetted with the appropriate officials within the new administration,” and “these are the authorized positions,” he said.
That produced an angry response from Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing the plaintiffs in the case.
“This is not change,” he said in a statement. “This is definitely more of the same. Candidate Obama ran on a platform that would reform the abuse of state secrets, but President Obama’s Justice Department has disappointingly reneged on that important civil liberties issue. If this is a harbinger of things to come, it will be a long and arduous road to give us back an America we can be proud of again.”

with the state of politics today...
keep the words of President Harry S. Truman in mind...
what can i say?
'My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference. I, for one, believe the piano player job to be much more honorable than current politicians.
what can i say?

it's a conspiracy...
you know how when a commercial comes on when you're watching a show and the first thing you do, because you don't want to watch the commercial, is hit the remote to go to another station? have you also noticed how when you do there is a commercial on the other station, and if you go to a third, a fourth, a fifth... channel, they ALL have commercials on at the same time?
i think they've outsmarted us.
Big Brother of television has caught on and all the airheads running the stations got together and have made an agreement to air commercials at the same times during any half-hour period.

HOW UN-AMERICAN!
if the commercials were entertaining or even a public service you wouldn't mind, but all those Viagra and Cialis and that smiling freaky guy with the constant erection on the natural supplement that turns your eyes and skin blue if you keep taking it are driving me nuts. i also don't want to know which sanitary napkin keeps me driest either.
at least in Europe you see, well, interesting things. as a matter of fact, the commercial below was voted the best commercial in Europe.
watch it; you'll get my drift...

True story of Maestro Arturo Toscanini in his frustration during a rehearsal.
He screamed at the timpani (kettledrum) player, "You're fired."
The man left the stage going to pack up his stuff, nervous about how he was going to tell his family that he was no longer employed.
As he left the hall, the tympanist turned to Toscanini and yelled, "You're a son-of-a-bitch!"
To which Toscanini bellowed back, "It's too late to apologize...."

Bush Dismisses Iraq Recession: The War Has ‘Nothing To Do With The Economy’
This morning on NBC’s Today Show, President Bush denied that the there’s any link between the faltering U.S. economy and $10 billion a month being spent on the Iraq war. In fact, according to Bush, the war is actually helping the economy:
CURRY: You don’t agree with that? It has nothing do with the economy, the war — spending on the war?
BUSH: I don’t think so. I think actually the spending in the war might help with jobs…because we’re buying equipment, and people are working. I think this economy is down because we built too many houses and the economy’s adjusting.
