I ran a search, and checked the front page, but found nothing on this, so here goes...

In a typical Friday news drop, the "U.S. government ..... said it would drop charges in an espionage case against two pro-Israel lobbyists because it was unlikely to win at trial and classified information would have to be disclosed."

This involves Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, two former AIPAC officials, who were implicated in obtaining and passing classified information to Israel. This case is also intertwined with Rep. Jane Harman, who was recorded by the government talking about this case.

More after the fold....

With news today that House Repiglians "are calling on Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to step down or be fired", for the DHS report linking some ex-military to right-wing extremist groups, the thought occurs that the Repiglians might want to STFU, and soon.

They should close their flapping and hateful mouths for a moment, and take a look at an article in today's the Ashland, Oregon "Daily Tidings" newspaper. In it, they would find that the DHS report was/is uncannily accurate......

I've been involved with politics for over 40 years. Early on, I was arrested for demonstrating against the Vietnam War, and later, for the killings at Kent State; beaten bloody by a gang of rednecks who didn't like the fact I was passing out George McGovern campaign literature; followed, photographed, and videotaped, for exercising my constitutional right to motivate my fellow voters (while working to put on a concert to help register voters with Country Joe and the Fish). The list goes on.

Throughout it all, and despite the fascistic behavior of some of my fellow citizens, and members of my government, I never once shirked my duty, nor commitment to the process. And I won't now. Follow me below the fold to find out what we're up against in 2009...

Yesterday, Wednesday, I went to my local Safeway Store (Safeway, Inc.) in a small, rural, Northern California town near where I live. As it's the closest large market to where I presently reside, I normally shop there a couple times a week. I've been shopping at Safeway for over 50 years.

This visit to the market was different though, as are so many things these days. Below the fold, I'll tell you the story of one small, rural town, and the effects of the "Depression" here so far. Jump with me....

This is going to be a short diary. The D.C. Appeals Court has again denied Valerie Plame's lawsuit against Cheney and the White House.

Corrected - removed statement, "I guess we shouldn't be surprised, given that Bush appointed most on the court."

I don't know, maybe it's the chemo, but this whole Father Pfleger brouhaha smells awfully bad to me. Think about his. Knowing the problems caused by Rev. Wright flap, why would anyone publicly say the things Father Pfleger said? He had to know the problems it would cause.

Perhaps he saw all the attention Rev. Wright got, and wanted some of that attention. Either that, or he has incredibly bad judgment, or .....perhaps he's a mole. Whatever he is, he is no friend of Obama.

All the news programs are running the same film of the Father going crazy on the podium. You know what I think?

Follow me over the rainbow....

As an old "Mexico hand", I used to tell people who complained about the rampant corruption south of the border, that there was/is little difference between Mexico and the U.S. on this issue. The difference, if any, is simply measured by how much it costs to make the corruption happen. Things are less expensive, generally speaking, in Mexico, but it is no more corrupt than the U.S.

The fact is, corruption in the U.S. is as much if not more endemic than in Mexico, but it is certainly more sophisticated. It's costing the taxpayers of this nation TRILLIONS of dollars, in addition to turning our nation's politics into a fascist embracing-neocon infested-corporatist nest of evil. Follow me as I present some proof....

Well, here we are, Day Two after the full Swiftboat-style campaign has been fired up against Barack Obama. It started yesterday with an article written by the notoriously biased, Nedra Pickler (article here: http://news.yahoo.com/... ), entitled, "Obama may face grilling on patriotism". Then this morning, Pickler follows up with yet another, again carrying "Swiftboat" water, entitled, "Conservatives say Obama lacks patriotism. While today's article contains some re-hash from yesterday's hit piece, much is new.

AP News Service is once again showing its Republican leanings, by publishing a full spectrum of garbage this morning. First off, is an article written by the notoriously corrupt Nedra Pickler, entitled, "Obama may face grilling on patriotism". This piece of journalistic garbage could easily have been written by almost anyone at the RNC, and perhaps it was...

I've vacillated over writing this diary for months, but can finally no longer justify my continuing participation at D-Kos after today.

Between the roiling candidate diaries, the general ignorance concerning our Constitution, the nasty gang attacks on most anyone who has "less than nice" things to say about "certain country" and some of its fascistic right-wing neocon supporters, here and elsewhere, but most importantly, the complete and abject failure to understand and prioritize actions this nation and our political system desperately need, I've reached my limits of tolerance.

After the break, I shall explain further....

With the release of the new report by the The Center for Public Integrity (CPI) on the 900+ lies used by the Bush junta to foment Iraq war-fever and invasion justifications (link: http://www.nytimes.com/... ), one would think it would be "front-page" news at every MSM outlet in the nation, ....but it's not.

One would also think that there would have been calls this morning by Democratic leaders for hearings, investigations, and impeachment proceedings, ....but there's not.

Why?
