FAIR is a biased, far-left org that describes itself as "progressive". True liberals are not 'progressives' (read: regressive leftist, po-mo, socialist SJWs.) So FAIR can go fuck itself.

The author of this hit piece really shouldn't be criticizing the coherency of other people. He also says:
On the September 20 edition of Real Time, he condemned the Democrats for reviving their opposition to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, claiming that continuing to “go after a guy for what he did in high school” “looks bad.”
That's actually from the September 14th, 2018 show. This matters just a little because the allegations were from an anonymous source at that point. Ford came forward on September 16th, Ramirez on September 23rd.

And just prior to saying that, Maher called Kavanaugh the "ultimate suck-up and dick".

More Maher on Kavanaugh:



Here's another:
In 2013, ... and recanted his anti-Iraq War position, claiming, “Iraq is doing better than I thought it would be.”
Here's the actual exchange:



"Never going to be worth the actual cost." is his actual summary.

There's plenty of legitimate stuff you can go after Maher for saying. Lies and misrepresentations are just lazy.

Today, I read a CNN daily news summary

the 'ukraine whistleblower' and 'second whistleblower' are represented by attorney Mark Zaid.

Zaid! I know that name. Mark Zaid is also defending comic book writer Mark Waid-- in the ComicsGate lawsuit filed by Richard C. Meyer!

The comicbook case involves nerd-celebrity Wait successfully-pressuring the publisher of Meyer's comicbook-- to cancel publication, due to Meyer's videos on youtube, which comment on the comicbook industry, from a non-SJW 'Make Comics Great Again' perspective.

For the thoughtcrime of dissenting from SJW propaganda in comicbook stories... Meyer is (of course) considered a RacistSexistHomophobicAltRightNazi.

Is he going to screw the pooch the same way he did with Richard Meyer? The first whistleblower didn't amount to anything, despite their revelation of a 'transcript' (which turned out to be a summation of a conversation they'd heard was said, and not a transcript of an actual recording), but the second whistleblower allegedly has 'first-hand accounts' - I guess we'll see what that entails.

The Democrats are using the Alistair Campbell/Tony Blair playbook. They've been setting up a moral dichotomy with a blizzard of accusations and following up with "for the love of God, I emplore you, have some decency" rhetoric. They followed this model with the Kavanaugh hearings and they've consistently followed it with Trump from day 1. It doesn't matter if any of the allegations are true or not as long as you can create enough of a stink around the target, only the Democrats have overplayed it. Alistair Campbell managed to create such an impression of corruption and decay around the Tory government that Labour and President Blair swept into power with disastrous long-term consequences for the country. Alistair Campbell is the template for a modern ruthlessly zealous ideological spin doctor.

John Kiriakou wasn't prosecuted for being a whistleblower. A whistleblower reports activity through official channels and at least theoretically is protected from retaliation.
He was prosecuted for leaking the identity of a covert CIA agent to the press. Leaker vs. whistleblower, totally different according to the legal definition.
Leaking covert agent Valerie Plame's identity is what got Scooter Libby into trouble.

Except he didn't. The leaker was Richard Armitage. Libby was convicted of crimes related to lying to investigators about how he learned of Plame's CIA work, which had no known connection to the leak itself. But there were coteries in the Dept. of Justice and CIA that wanted a Bushie neo-con scalp in retaliation to Plame's unmasking. Armitage was widely respected as a moderate and seen as a force within the administration opposing the neo-cons, so he wouldn't do. Karl Rove was the real target, but when no evidence turned up against him, they had to settle for Libby as the scapegoat. The raw partisanship in how this prosecution was conducted seems to have reared its head again in the Dept. of Justice over the last few years.

You are right about the leaker to Novak not being Libby, however I disagree that his charges had nothing to do with the outing of Plame. The investigation that saw him charged was all about the outing of Plame.
Libby also leaked Plame to the press, he just wasn't Novak's source:
According to testimony given in the CIA leak grand jury investigation and United States v. Libby, Bush administration officials Richard Armitage, Karl Rove, and Lewis Libby discussed the employment of a then-classified, covert CIA officer, Valerie E. Wilson (also known as Valerie Plame), with members of the press.[3][26]
No one, including Libby was convicted for leaking:
In October 2005, Libby resigned from all three government positions after he was indicted on five counts by a federal grand jury concerning the investigation of the leak of the covert identity of Central Intelligence Agency officer Valerie Plame Wilson.[5] He was subsequently convicted of four counts (one count of obstruction of justice, two counts of perjury, and one count of making false statements),[6]
I don't understand how you chalk up the outcome of the investigation to partisanship. The investigation was done by Patrick Fitzgerald who was appointed by registered Republican James Comey. (Oh how history repeats itself) I see no liberal fingerprints on this turkey.
Also, when you say there was no evidence of wrongdoing on Rove's part, remember the testimony of the journalist that outed Plame.
Robert Novak's testimony in Libby's perjury trial made it known that the two senior administration sources he cited in his article were Richard Armitage and Karl Rove

The partisanship I was speaking of wasn't Democrat vs Republican partisanship, but State Dept/CIA bureaucracy (now frequently referred to as the Deep State) vs. Bush-era Neocons, with Fitzgerald taking the side of the Deep State. While it never leaked at the time, Armitage revealed in his book that he knew he was the leaker referenced in Novak's column right away and immediately told Colin Powell. It made its way to the Dept. of Justice, and Fitzgerald did investigate Armitage, but declined to press charges. As I mentioned in my original post, they wanted a neo-con scalp and Armitage wasn't that. The real big fish targets were Cheney or Rove, but in the absence of justiciable evidence against them, they went hard after Libby as a consolation.

Apparently Rove's role in Novak's interviews was saying something like "Yeah, I heard that too" when Novak mentioned Plame and Wilson, which most certainly is not leaking.

He confirmed the "leak". It gave the second source that allowed Novak to publish her name and give it credibility by your own assessment.
Assuming he had some briefing on security don't you think he should have known better than even giving it grudging agreement. That is assuming the he said "yeah I heard that too" is an accurate and complete quote.

You can certainly question the propriety of his response. A 'no comment' would have been better. But it was definitely not in the legal definition of leaking, which is why he wasn't charged even though Fitzgerald had a hard-on for him. This is all ancient history now and I'm not going to wade into the details, but the Bush administration in general during that time was having trouble finding the balance between legitimately defending themselves and avoiding disclosing classified information about how the situation arose.

To be clear, I had no dog in that particular fight. I would have thought my use of the phrase "Bush-y Neocons" strongly hinted I have no love for that group. But I'm also repelled by the Foggy Bottom culture of diplomacy above all even when dealing with rogue states, and the CIA's muddled intelligence gathering during this era was disgraceful. My main beef was that a mistake by one of the Foggy Bottom crew was shamefully used as a catalyst to punish a perceived enemy of the crew instead.

But in those with large gaps, such as Australia, the richest areas - including parts of Sydney and Melbourne - were at least twice as well off than poor areas such as regional Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
Oh. What a shock. Yeah. The parts where low quality canon fodder immigrants don’t live.

IMF researchers found that economic performance between regions in certain countries could be larger than those between nations, exerting enormous internal political tensions.
It’s almost as if the nation state has been replaced by global cities dominated by a global elite.

Australia has one of the biggest gaps between its richest cities and poorest regions in the developed world with warnings it could worsen without direct assistance from state and federal governments.
If big-Australia was a science experiment the hypothesis would have been proved already. Many times over.

She seems to have been caught lying-- about being fired-for-being-pregnant, from her special-ed teacher job, in 1971.
She claims that was before teachers' unions. I recall well when my mom's union struck in 1969.

Warren isn't just a liar, she's a fabulist -- she makes shit up, then comes to believe it.

* Warren isn't Cherokee or Delaware, despite claiming she was one "to the tips of my toes";
* Her parents didn't elope out of shame -- the wedding was held in the next town over, the reception back home that afternoon, and the marriage was announced in the local paper;
* Her dad was a flight instructor, not a janitor;
* Her parents, who supposedly didn't have enough money to send her to college, did have enough to buy her a new sports car as a high school graduation present;
* She submitted, as "Elizabeth Warren, Cherokee", her family crab dip recipe to a cookbook called "Pow Wow Chow". Warren isn't a Cherokee, Cherokees don't hold Pow Wows, and her family crab dip recipe was from James Beard;
* She claimed she never listed herself as a federally-recognized Indian on any official documents. Then, when those documents turned up, she claimed she didn't benefit from it;
* She claims to be the first lactating woman to ever pass the bar. No records are kept on which bar aspirants are lactating;
* She claimed she helped introduce renewable energy to Louisiana, but all she really did was broker the sale of a coal-fired power plant which was subsequently scrapped with the slack taken up by a nuclear plant;
* She claimed she helped women win a class action suit against Dow Corning for leaky breast implants. She represented Dow Corning, helping it file a sham bankruptcy, and successfully limited the payout to $1.27 per claimant (or 63 1/2¢ per boob);
* She did the same for a coal company to avoid miner's lung settlements, and other firms to avoid paying pensions;
* She claims she wasn't practicing law without a license in Massachusetts, despite handling over two dozen high profile cases.

The bitch is mental.

Gaia was generous. My lovely neighbor and I scored about 10 pounds of top quality white chantrelles in about an hour and a half of picking. She will be making some delicious cream of white chantrelle soup and I will be having sauteed shrooms all this week. I have pics , but my computer seems to be refusing to shrink the images .
At any rate, a picture of a dog mauling a cat that always gives me an oxytocin rush.

Continuing in the theme of misogynistic bender, I'm watching Superman Returns (2006) for the first time. Brandon Routh is a very sympathetic Superman, very close to the gold standard set and unsurpassed by Christopher Reeve. It suddenly struck me that whole Superman/Clarke Kent ruse, that Kent is invisible, yet looks exactly like SM with glasses, is pure sexual hierarchy. Kent is invisible because he's an invisible gamma male. You might say, yes, but this is just dramatic license. Ah, but it's believable dramatic license, and there's the rub. It's only believable because audiences believe that Lois Lane is blind to the overtures of Kent due to his low status, and that has held constant for seventy years.

The woke version of Superman would be Lois seeing the virtues of Kent in his own right.

That's gonna happen.

That would be heartwarming. More likely, Lois will realize Clark is an incel & 'Superman' is Clark's toxic, violent way of acting-out.
Lois will knock him out with one punch, because women can do anything.

A great Superman reboot would have his space cradle land in Germany instead of Nebraska.

Never mind, it's been done already.

No. Even lefties like Eric Weinstein are clear that this is been the case and the architects of mass migration were happy to say so behind the scenes. Similar stories for free trade agreements.

Nope I was not banned. My heart was crushed by indifference and selected blockings. Hehehee. Worlds smallest violin.

In reality, I decided to embrace change.

I’ve finished my MA (submitted in three weeks), quit my job, lost 12 kg on a keto-esque diet plus exercise, farewelled my son to Oxbridge study and have never been happier ... for now at least.

Even if the world remains a crazy place.

I'm outraged! Do you think it is easy to look like an unkempt slob when her true identity is a sensei of the woke woman.
Just ask the normal woman that works hard to support herself and her family and she/they will support Becky. She is a role model.

What do you think of Giuliani? I've always considered him vermin, but understood why many regular new yorkers considered him their guy.
And now it's hard for me to reconcile my distaste for him-- with how-much I love his post-Ukraine news interviews. He's running circles around the news dullards.
I'm PZ-aged and my family moved west when I was three, so my folks' impressions are from the thirties through the fifties. We did visit many 60's summers, one grandparent set in rural New Jersey, and the other in Corona Queens rowhouse, with my uncle Fred a retired cop who became famous in my family culture for the "uncle fred" sandwich: cheese and onion, usually on white with mayo.

By the time Rudy rolled around, I was working some programming job and living in some suburbia or other. From a distance, the crime rate as reported through the eighties did make things sound pretty bad, and from my safe suburbia I imagine I must have supported him. But if I lived there, I can certainly see how extra pressure on the street would be unwelcome; I still didn't really have the same relationship with cops then as I do now. I'm averse to crowds, and that would affect things. or effect them. one of those, or both. Dad, my dad I'm sure must have loved Rudy; he was still mayor when dad died. There's a hearing next week where I hope I'll find out more about what "they" found out. I may have to eat a couple of misdemeanors before this is done, but largely I'm winning this thing. I think.

US$250 = A$368.84. Last time I got a haircut I would have got A$333.84 back in change. That was an expensive haircut as far as I am concerned.
