The latest rescue: 3 nicely laminated, near-new white shelves which I had my eye on for over a month. The rails and brackets were rescued about a week ago.
1/2 a gallon of obscenely ripe, sensually purple, large, sticky red raspberries.
And of course, two golf balls and yet another roll of toilet paper.
We can be together, ah you and me, we should be together
We are all outlaws in the eyes of America
In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge fuck hide and deal
We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young
But we should be together, come on all you people standing around
Our life's too fine to let it die and we should be together
All your private property is target for your enemy,
and your enemy is WE...!
We are forces of chaos and anarchy!
Everything they say we are, we are!
And we are very proud of ourselves!
Up against the wall! Up against the wall, motherfucker!
Tear down the wall, tear down the wall!
Come on now together!
Get it on together!
Everybody together!
We should be together, We should be together, my friends,
We can be together, we will be!

concerning the single count raised most recently by Dennis Kucinich against George W. Bush.
However, I still do not see any action on behalf of the Judiciary to bring Karl Rove or Dick Cheney to justice for the revelation of the identity of Valerie Plame.
Two days left, ladies and gentlemen.
Considering how you've been playing coy with everyone who has approached you for the last several years on the subject of impeachment, dragging your feet while the situation has gotten worse and worse, I don't put much faith in these sudden, interestingly timed efforts - especially given the lack of coverage in the wholly-owned mainstream media.
So I still plan to travel in to the Last Hope conference on Saturday and confer with Mr. Mitnick and his band of merry men.
What information I give them is entirely up to you. I may simply decide to give them contact information if I see sufficient progress toward impeachment and accountability. If I don't see sufficient progress, I might give them more.
I want Rove in cuffs. Frog march that piece of shit into jail where he belongs. Today or tomorrow. Period final. It's time for the Sergeant of Arms to stir stumps.
And I want to see effort to impeach Cheney in addition to Bush.
Because if Rove and Cheney can get away with revealing classified information, so can I. As a matter of fact... SO CAN ANYONE. I don't have a monopoly on knowledge that can show the American public just how badly their trust has been abused.
And remember - that information is still where certain people can find it if anything happens to me.
We don't have two sets of laws in this country, one for the Bush administration and one for the rest of the citizenry. Either revealing classified information such as the identity of a covert CIA agent is legal, or it isn't.
No privacy FROM this government equals no privacy FOR this government.
You uphold your oaths and bring these lawbreakers to justice, and I'll be quite happy to uphold mine.
Have a nice day.

Yesterday was a black day in the history of our nation. The United States Senate, by a vote of 69-28, voted to permit retroactive immunity to the Bush administration and telecommunications firms who were complicit in the administration's breaking of federal law. Going forward, the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution has been invalidated, and American citizens can now be spied on at will by our government. Additionally, the Constitutional provisions against "ex-post facto" legislation are being blatantly ignored.
But a BLACKER day is coming. That day is Saturday, July 19th, 2008.
On that date at 10pm, I will walk into the Hotel Pennsylvania directly opposite Penn Station in New York City with a Cisco 3548 Catalyst switch under my arm. I will make my way into the room where Kevin Mitnick is giving a keynote speech for the Last HOPE conference. I will ask for less than two minutes of microphone time.
And I am going to tell everyone in that well attended, eminently interested, technically capable audience something very interesting about that switch and all of it's little brothers and sisters.
And then I will leave the switch there for them to start finding what I am talking about on their own.
Ordinarily, the revelation of this classified information would be breaking the law. But as the entire nation has seen with the outing of the identity of CIA covert operative Valerie Plame, it is entirely possible to violate the law and reveal classified information and get away with it. Today Karl Rove violated the subpoena issued to him by the House Judiciary Committee - one of NINE Congressional subpoenas this administration has blatantly ignored.
I will not keep an oath I made to keep the secrets of a country that no longer exists. I will not respect the privacy of a nation that does not respect the privacy of it's own citizens.
I've said it before and I will say it again:
NO PRIVACY FROM THIS GOVERNMENT
EQUALS NO PRIVACY FOR THIS GOVERNMENT.
Maybe you thought I was kidding? Which word was it that you didn't understand?
The founding fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to the precepts embodied in the Constitution which is being shredded, bit by bit, by a cabal of greedy, murdering fascists.
On February 11th, 1986, I pledged no less - my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor to protect and defend that Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
On July 19th, 2008, I shall pledge no less. TODAY I pledge no less. Be aware that the details of what I intend to reveal at this public event are already where specific people will be able to find them if anything happens to me.
This information will not be made public if the following takes place:
Congress has exactly nine days to re-establish the full rule of law as it applies to the Executive branch, arrest Karl Rove, and initiate impeachment hearings against both the President and Vice President.
Or there will be... a blacker day than yesterday.
This is not a threat. It is a promise.
Nine days.
Now get to work. Assholes.
And those of you who aren't assholes... you know who you are, and so do we.

Here's yet another story you won't find in any mainstream newspaper - especially today.
This is Doc Dwyer. You remember him, right?
Try to remember him especially today.
Six days ago in North Carolina, unable to cope with his post traumatic stress disorder and the memories of his experiences in Iraq, he took his own life.
He was 31 years old.
Happy July 4th, America. You may now resume your... celebration.

Col. Ann Wright (in the House Judiciary subcommittee hearing audience) grins as Addington responds to questioning by Conyers:
Conyers: Do you feel that the Unitary Theory of the Executive allows the President to do things over and above the stated law of the land?
Addington: The Constitution binds all of us, Congressman, the President, all the U.S. members of Congress, all of the federal judges. We all take an oath to support and defend it. I frankly don't know what you mean by the Unitary Theory of Government. I dont -
Conyers: Have you ever heard of that theory before?
Addington: Oh I have, I've seen it in the newspapers all the time-
Conyers: Do you support it?
Addington: I don't know what it is.
In other news, apparently Vice President Cheney is neither part of the Executive Branch nor the Legislative Branch. It is now in the official Congressional Record that Cheney is in fact a barnacle.
Meanwhile, John Yoo, a tenured law professor at the University of Berkeley, apparently does not know the definition of the word implemented.
Seriously. These people are batshit insane.
Another hearing highlight:
Addington: "Al Qaeda could be watching on CSPAN!"
Delahunt: "Well now they know what you look like."
ROTFL!
