what is going on in the world today???
KarenWI 12.12.08 at 10:18 pm
From downstairs:
If this were a couple hours of tape during one or two days it would be different… but we’re talking about hundreds of hours of tape over a period of over a month’s time… that “paints” a picture of what the mental state of the person is with the composite of all those conversations. Any trained psycologist could listen to all those hundreds of hours of tapes over that long of a time period and make a professional evaluation based on all of that information about how “healthy” B’s mind was. They will, I am certain, hear a coherent train of thought, connected together in a logical fashion, with memory functions clear… so what exactly is mentally incompetant mean? Does that mean just thinking illegal thoughts? If the thoughts are clear, concise, planned, logical, sequenced… but just illegal… is that the only criteria for being incapacited mentally???

But couldn’t the government USE all those hours of tape.. and have a psychiatrist listen to them and evaluate them based on the conversation on those hundreds of hours of talk?? I mean, if there weren’t all those many many hours of tape showing how he thinks in his conversation, it seems like any “insanity” plea would be “full of holes” … the “holes” being all the talk on all those tapes…?

There’s nothing wrong with Blago’s mind. You can pay a psychologist to say anything. If he’s “crazy” nobody will believe him or he won’t have to testify at his trial or he will get a lesser sentence. Something is being set up.

That is a wonderful moon out there tonight, Murphy. I pointed it out to my neices earlier while I was taking them home. It is beautiful!

100% correct. Maybe this is what makes mUrphy sad? it is a saddening time in our country. The economy and the obvious crooked way we have a new president-elect. and people like Jimmy Carter–who can go all over the WORLD, making sure elections are FAIR–yet he was not bothered about the fraud carried out in his own country!

Sunshinelvr, Jimmy C supported O, didn’t he? I know he sure as heck didn’t OPPOSE him in any way, shape, or form… In fact, I can’t think of any high-ranking dem leader who DID oppose him and STAY opposed to him. There are those who started opposed to him, but that’s because they were either running against him (such as Hillary) or because they were siding with Hillary against him. However, once Hillary conceeded I can’t think of any who stood against him. I wish there HAD been SOMEBODY with backbone and honesty to stand up against this fraud and deceit! Not even McCain did…. not really….

AniEm 12.12.08 at 9:53 pm Funny you should say that…I read a post earlier on another site and a guy (I think) was saying that the original Dems are now misplaced (in theory) and there is a change in both the Repubs and Dems bases. I don’t know how to explain what he was saying but things have shifted. Do you know what I mean?
_________________
Actually, I spent most of my life ignoring both parties as far as possible, but I think the Dems somehow became Republican-wannabes and lost their identity. That’s one of the reasons PUMA developed, I believe. Oddly, the persecuted middle class and working class found “voices” ONLY from the two female candidates, Clinton and Palin – and one of them was Republican! There are so many ironies in this election, it’s hard to know where to start to catalogue them.

Changing the subject a little… I wish we could somehow get rid of all primary caucases- in both parties. I simply cannot understand how anybody who wants “all votes to count” can POSSIBLY be FOR caucases! It EXCLUDES everyone who can’t be there “in person” – that means our military, people who are working, people who can’t get babysitters, people who can’t get a ride there, the invalid, the sick, and the elderly. That’s a LOT of people to exclude from voting!!! I wish we in PUMA could somehow put that on our agenda for the next election- to ban all caucases… I just don’t know how to do that, or even where to begin on such a thing. I’m just giving my “Christmas Wish List” here…
1) keep O and Biden out of the white house before they are sworn in
2) get rid of all caucauses….

gypsy,
One thing that made me feel better is my daughter’s wedding last year. All her bridesmaids (including an honorary gay-male-bridesmaid) were from blue-collar backgrounds, yet they had all graduated from college and have good careers, so there has been progress. I told them how much I valued them not only for their friendship for our family, but for their accomplishments.
A close friend of mine is from a strong union family and my husband’s family is Teamsters (good God!) , but when I was young and single I got involved with a guy from the Carpenter’s Union and learned a lot about the shenanigans there, so I came to believe there was not much difference between Repubs and Dems when it comes to political ethics, and threw my allegiance into feminism. One of my main outrages about this election is the corruption of feminism.

“ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A larger FBI team is expected to return Saturday to the scene where the remains of small child were found near Caylee Marie Anthony’s home. The team will help the Orange County Sheriff’s Office process the crime scene and the area around it.
All evidence is starting to show the remains found in east Orange County were likely Caylee Anthony and late Friday afternoon Eyewitness News obtained the 911 call made after the discovery.
Detectives have told Caylee’s mother’s attorney that the body size and hair color of the remains recovered are similar to Caylee’s and the discovery of the child’s skull with duct tape on the mouth is telling a much more gruesome story.”….

murphy: just do *not* feel too sad about it. Confusion and situations of rejection and misunderstanding, etc can be demoralizing, especially when the argument is based on moral grounds.
But if they can’t see the bigger picture–that you are clearly someone who cares a great deal about women’s rights and justice for women, then they don’t know what they are doing. Every new organization *needs* people who have a passion for the cause. You can’t buy true passion. Passion is the fuel to make it work. They screwed up severing their relationship with you over a personal matter. You have connections here and and an “audience” and active participants who “work” for free here on the blog, and if they don’t understand that that is a valuable resource, then they are clueless and have no idea how to do “politics” and succeed as a movement.

Murphy,
BO and the powers that be want women’s organizations to be “front” organizations only, spouting the party line, satisfied with the bones they’re thrown. You have integrity and great perception. If you miss a call, that’s par for the course with all the disinformation and operatives trying to bring the real soldiers down.

They ended up having to raise her 3 children. One of them (the grandkids) drowned a couple years later in an accident in the Fox River when playing with his friends and he was pulled under by the currents. It had only been about a month or less before the drowning that the grandparents had taken out a small life insurance policy on all of them with me.

Gypsy,
I know how many union men put their lives on the line; it really is a bloody history and the gains hard won. Unions themselves over time allied with management and, just like Dems and Repubs, you can’t tell who’s who any more.
I did college the long, hard way too so we pat ourselves on the back for that and I’m glad my kids had it a little easier.
Murphy, The rift with New Agenda is unfortunate, but I’ve been called worse things than shabby and grassroots. I’m concerned that New Agenda’s standards are that superficial…that’s the corruption of feminism I’m angry about. Every single person on this blog has every reason to be proud of the integrity of this movement, especially in light of events this week. Politically, PUMAs are ahead of the curve in this election, one of the few forums for truth, and YOU were the bellwether.

Obama is such a WHORE!
Big donors to get tickets to swearing-in
By MIKE ALLEN | 12/12/08 7:43 PM EST
President-elect Obama’s inaugural committee is inviting supporters to give as much as $50,000 or raise as much as $300,000 to underwrite the festivities, and is offering incentives that include tough-to-get spots at the swearing-in ceremony.
On Wednesday afternoon, top campaign donors – who helped Obama become the $1 billion man this campaign cycle — were e-mailed a schedule showing the perks of supporting the team one more time.
The contribution limits were voluntarily imposed by the Presidential Inaugural Committee, which points out that individuals have given as much as $250,000 to past inaugurals.
In keeping with the committee’s promised “new standard for openness,” organizers are posting the names of all the fund-raisers – known as “bundlers” – and donors of $200 or more. The committee says it posts the names of donors – along with their cities and occupations – within 48 hours of receiving the contribution.
According to the initial disclosure, seven people have raised the maximum of $300,000 each, and about 180 people have given the maximum of $50,000.
Linda Douglass of the Presidential Inaugural Committee said organizers are incurring additional expense as a result of their effort to make the inauguration more open, including JumboTron screens and sound systems to serve people without tickets.
“Inaugurations are privately funded,” Douglass said. “There are certain costs associated with executing our goal of making this the most open and accessible inauguration in recent times. … We’re being as open as transparent and possible and limiting the influent of special-interest money as much as possible.”

Many women are super shooters and my trainer said they usually do better in the tests. Usually more accurate and more concentrated. You just have to decide if you want to be a “victim” or to protect yourself. Remember: women and the elderly are the majority of targets.

send certified letter. send copy to FEC. make sure in certified letter you mention that you are copying the letter to the FEC. Send it certified too. Call FEC and get name of person to send to (and put that name in letter)
Did you pay by credit card? if so you can request refund. If by check have to get it old fashioned way…
I called and said send me my fucking money back. Took me a few times (like 20) but it worked.

I totally agree. So I watch my diet, and workout 6 days a week. I do weights, pilates,aerobic step, exercise bike and Dreadmill,martial arts/tai chi, and meditation.
The only reason women have those skinny arms is cuz they don’t use them. I don’t know….maybe it makes them look more compliant, and submissive and helpless appearing to men.
I go to a site called Bodybuildning.com. They have a Womens’ Forum and there are LOTS of women into Fitness. They also have a store with every supplement you could ever imagine at the best prices anywhere. And tons of articles on what’s best, why, everything on diet and micro managing our diet.
Our bodies are temples, but they are machines, also and need to be well kept. Like ‘use it, or lose it’
Thre are a few of us at the gym that prolly aren’t going to get hassled by the men. LOL

To all Californians – if the dark days come & OFECK moves into the white house … what do you think of an initiative to get on the 2010 ballot to require the SoS to confirm the prez qualifications before anyone can be put on the ballot. Has anyone experience in CA ballot initiatives? Would we need a lawyer? Would it cost a lot? Do we have enough email addy’s of people to help circulate initiatives?

Yes, it’s strange, getting in touch with the physical really *does* bring you closer to the spiritual.
I really love when my body is tight and fairlyu defined and I can see how it works. Now I can’t get big or anything, but it’s nice just to have everything at it’s best for my body.
Once I start exercising like that–I only want to eat well, and then I want to sleep well, and then I want to take care of myself more and more and more. It’s self-love, no? In a healthy way.

Stop the call for constitutional convention at this time. Ohio is the 33rd state and only 34 needed to force the call with an open agenda:
ACTION TO TAKE
We need only stop the House bill, HJR8, sponsored by Representative Louis Blessing, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee (there is a Senate bill too).
1. Call Chairman Blessing’s office and tell his staff you oppose a Constitutional Convention and you want this process stopped.
Tell them this is the most dangerous time ever to call for such a convention.
Tell them no one can control the debate or outcome of a Con Con.
Representative Louis Blessing
Phone: (614) 466-9091
Fax: (614) 719-3583
Email: district29@ohr.state.oh.us
2. Call Representative Bill Batchelder. He is a very good man. I’ve known him for years. But he has been misled on this issue. The word is he is wavering. Your calls can convince him to withdraw his support. That can kill this bill.
Representative Bill Batchelder
Phone: (614) 466-8140
Fax: (614) 719-3969
Email: district69@ohr.state.oh.us
3. It is URGENT that you make your calls right now. The bill could be voted on as early as this afternoon (Wednesday).
I’m so sorry for this late notice. We just found out about this last night.
Please get this message out far and wide. This task requires our very best effort! E-mail and call your friends, family and neighbors. Network anywhere and everywhere possible. If you know someone who never takes action, encourage them to break that habit this one time. Our Constitution is under assault!

DOES OBAMA HAVE A “DEEP THROAT” INSIDE THE U. S. ATTORNEY’S OFFICE? IS THAT DEEP THROAT PATRICK FITZGERALD OR SOMEONE CLOSE TO FITZGERALD?
WHY IS IT TAKING OBAMA “SEVERAL DAYS” TO ASSEMBLE A SIMPLE LIST OF CONTACTS BETWEEN HIS TINY STAFF AND GOVERNOR ROD BLAGOJEVICH’S OFFICE?
IS OBAMA “PLAYING FOR TIME?” IT APPEARS SO
DOES “STONEWALLING” BY EMANUEL AND AXELROD RAISE THE WATERGATE QUESTION, “WHAT DID THEY KNOW AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT?”
(CHICAGO)(December 12, 2008) “Blagogate,” of course, concerns the questionable conduct of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. But as Blagogate metastasizes, “Obamagate” is starting to emerge.
Obama may not be guilty in Blagogate, but he is acting guilty. His evasiveness is significant. The obvious evasiveness of Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod is highly significant. This is the way Watergate began.
I first walked into the federal courthouse in Chicago forty years ago. After spending forty years in a building on and off, you learn a lot about the place, and the people who work there. Something stinks in Blagogate, and that odor is now morphing into Obamagate.
Obama said Thursday he needs a “few days” to compile a list of contacts. A few days? He sure isn’t taking the arrest of the governor seriously, or acting expeditiously. His response time reflects a leisurely attitude to getting the facts out. It also reflects deliberate evasiveness. I read Lynn Sweet’s comments today from Boston, and David Axelrod apparently refused to provide the date when he last spoke to Blagojevich, http://www.suntimes.com/news/sweet/1327703,CST-NWS-sweet12.article Why couldn’t he give a simple, straight answer?
Rahm Emanuel was attending a children’s concert when Obama was announcing his HEALTH team. HEALTH team. Emanuel took a walk, and stonewalled.
The cover story that Valerie Jarrett was never interested in the senate seat is hogwash. Can you image how powerful her role could be if she was sitting inside the senate caucus as an Obama intimate? She may not have had a burning desire to be a U. S. Senator, but to say no one was interested in seeing her appointed to Obama’s vacant and unused seat is blarney.
On and on it goes.
Let me tell you straight up where I am heading. I think Obama has a “Deep throat” in the U. S. Attorney’s Office. It could be Fitzgerald, but probably not. Rather, someone close to Fitzgerald is the mole.
Governor Blagojevich’s behavior is certainly loathsome and possibly criminal. But that is no excuse for the lynch mob circling his office. Blago is not going quietly into the night. There will be dog fighting of legendary proportions. And slowly, but inexorably, Obama is being sucked into conflict. Obamagate is rising from the ashes of Blagogate.
By inauguration day, Obama could be bleeding. He could be politically dead before he even takes the oath of office. Obama, after all, is a man of “confidence,” not substance. He has created public “confidence” that he will do something. But what? Public confidence can erode in an instant, as it did for Blagojevich.
All we have seen to date is edited and thus self-serving government versions of tapes that raise serious doubts among lawyers. I was the first to question the strength of the federal case; others are following me. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-oped1212crimedec12,0,7874931.story
ContrarianCommentary.com usually leads, and we are on the cutting edge of this story.
I had a feeling during the Tony Rezko trial that the U. S. Attorney’s office was protecting Obama. The criminal case against Barack Obama concerning the Rezko land deal for the purchase of Obama’s mansion was a good deal stronger than the criminal case against Governor Blagojevich involving the “sale” of Obama’s senate seat. But the prosecutors walked away from a strong Rezko-Obama charge, while they are now trying to pump up a weak Blagojevich crime. Who did it, and why?
Likewise, Obama was tipped to the Blagojevich situation some time in November. Not every one was in on the tip. Obama kept the information close to his chest. There was also an unseemly haste on Tuesday to absolve the Obama campaign of any wrongdoing. Deep throat, can you hear me?
Finally, anyone following Blagogate would be a fool to believe that Blago has no evidence to support his defense or to undermine the government’s case against him.
What has happened this week in Chicago, under the auspices of federal prosecutors and Barack Obama, is nothing less than an attempted coup. The FBI released “edited” tapes. Blago was not allowed to present a defense. And a chorus of media goons starting demanding an immediate resignation. This was a de facto coup. And it may have failed. It may have backfired.
Rather than Blago shaking down Obama, the facts may ultimately show that when Blago stood in Obama’s way, however wrongly, Obama used his juice inside the federal government to remove Obama forcibly. I have always felt that Obama has dictatorial inclinations. We may have seen the first installment this week in Chicago.
Go back and look at the 1969 film “Z” by the director Costa-Gavras. What first appears to be a mistaken killing turns out on closer inspection to be an attempted coup. Or, go see the new movie “Doubt” this weekend. Both films deal with the distortions of reality which can take place when all the facts are not known.
Obamagate? You heard it here first.
After forty years in the U. S. Courthouse I can hear the ghosts. You see and learn a lot in 40 years. And what I have seen tells me something is terribly wrong with Blagojevich’s arrest. What’s wrong with Blagogate is Obamagate.
[P.S. I have been warned I could be in danger. I tend to discount such suggestions. But if anything does happen to me, you will know who was behind it.]
[P.P.S. This column is the first chapter of what I expect to become a very long and complex story. Obamagate has a long way to go.]

Worth looking up. Women are more careful than men, so they’d probably manage their businesses better.
What’s probably true, is that a woman is better off starting her own business than trying to work for some male dominated corporation — or anywhere in the corporate world really.

Well, I was starting to get concerned when a week passed and NO NOP. I was not sure if I was just on at a diierent time than you. Anyway, i am glad that you are okay.
I am sooo jealous! I have seen snow in forever. It snowed here one time last year for about an hour, but it did not stick. I bet that seeing snow on palm trees was amazing!
mountainsong 12.13.08 at 2:02 am
Well, there might be a meteorite the size of Rhode Island speeding towards us at the speed of light and we only got 4 days left, I’m still gonna stay in shape, and love everybody, dance with em all and tell em, don’t worry, it wont hurt~~~see ya on the other side.
NewOrleansPuma 12.13.08 at 2:04 am
SouthernGal: Thank you Southern Gal…I am ok…yes…the local newscasters on WWL TV were throwing snowballs at each other on the set…and they stayed on until noon to cover the story ..a big one for us as you know..
freddiebrown 12.13.08 at 2:04 am
I think I got a Jembe. Its tall and it has tuning stuff around the top. I know nothing about it. Saw a video a few weeks ago and one of the main characters plays it -movie revolves around his drums. I gotta see if they shipped the rythmn with it. I sure don’t have it…
P/S: my mother is just turned 91 last week. She walks 5 days a week and refuses to use a walking stick. She is fine except for high blood pressure and a bit of diabetes. Very strong woman – raised 7 kids pretty much by herself.

I was practically raised by one of my grandmothers (the stairmastering one LOL) I am sorry that you never got to know yours – it is a special relationship. I have always said this about my grandmother, “if I am just 1/4 of the woman my grandmother was, I will have done something!”
NewOrleansPuma 12.13.08 at 2:08 am
SouthernGal..I like that kind of snowfall…fell for about 6 hours stayed on ground and then,.poof gone…I lived in snow for a number of years and I do not like it in that situation but down here it is down right hilarious and wonderful.
mountainsong 12.13.08 at 2:08 am
We haven’t had snow on the ground yet…(knock on wood). But we can just look ‘up’ and see the beautiful snow-capped peaks of the Cascade Mountains The moon over and shinning on them is just ‘magnifico”.

I have NEVER had a “white christmas” here (only when I was away at college). As a kid, I always wanted it to snow just one time, but it never did. I have actually worn “shorts” on Christmas day.

The New Agenda schism:
From Shakespeare’s Hamlet
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch’d, unfledg’d comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel but, being in,
Bear’t that th’ opposed may beware of thee.
….
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Or to any Puma.
It’s too bad there is no room to disagree…or dovetail strategies and constituencies, but maybe that’s also human nature.

I hope that columnist is wrong about a mole. I don’t think there is a mole. I do think Obama is stalling, big time.
As a friend said to me today, Obama doesn’t need to put together an investigative committee! – “how long does it take to gather a small circle of people together and ask them, did you know anything about this?” S-t-a-l-l-i-n-g..

#313 airforcehusker, here’s a repost that might help you:
The FBI affidavit said Blagojevich had been told by an adviser “the president-elect can get Rod Blagojevich’s wife on paid corporate boards in exchange for naming the president-elect’s pick to the Senate.”
How would he get that idea, if there were no contacts with the Obama team?
Remember how carefully Fitz phrased the matter:
“there’s no reference in the complaint to any conversations involving the president-elect or indicating that the president-elect was aware of it, and that’s all I can say.”
“no reference in the complaint”…”that’s all I can say”… If you were Obi, would those words make you rest easy?

hillstheone-
I have a feeling and maybe it is the chicago politics but i thingk oboma is going to be shown as the thug he is. He used different tatics to get legitimate candidates removed from the tickets in his past elections. Hes got tons of money, and i believe connections which are typical of chicago thug politics. I wouldnt doubt at all he planned on pay for play and though our news media may not expose thie truth i bet this will play an albatross around his neck for is first and hopefully last term.
hillstheone 12.13.08 at 3:23 am
airforcehusker,
I think you’re right about Obama’s chicago politics revealing him for the thug that he is. But don’t worry, even though the news media probably won’t lift even a pinky to expose him (well, MAYBE public radio OR MAYBE NY Times), our man Patrick Fitzgerald will not let Obama OR his team of thugs sleep easy at night.
My thinking is that most all of the people in Obama’s inner circle are either culpable, chargable w/crimes, or at a minimum, tainted by what we have seen the beginnings of this week.
Also, call me crazy, I still don’t see him being sworn in on innaguration day. Even if he is I believe something very shocking is going to hit the fan shortly thereafter. At that point the media will finally start covering the news the way they should have all along.
hillstheone 12.13.08 at 3:28 am
TOPIC: New York Times
I just wanted to say this all week, in all my years of working with media I have observed something that is kind of a “rule of thumb” in new stories being covered by mainstream media.
I am HOPING this rule of thumb is still in play.
What it is, is that AS SOON AS the NY Times writes about a new story or a new angle to an existing story, MANY times you will then see other media fall into line and start reporting on the same thing. I don’t know if they take their cue from the NY Times or exactly what it is, but I’ve seen this happen too many times to not be a little bit optimistic in the fact that the NY Times did a fairly decent job of writing about Chicago-Gate this week.
GO, NYTIMES. Don’t let us down like you did during the primaries.
We don’t appear to have a Woodward & Bernstein anywhere, and as the old Simon & Garfunkle song went, “Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.”
airforcehusker 12.13.08 at 3:34 am
Yeah talk about shocking did you see the story about the terrorist arrested in Blegium who where planning suicide bombings during the next meeting of the European Union members. The same group that turned a blind eye to our terrorsit problems could have been knee deep in tragedy. I believe only a sign of times to come in the next few years.
Back to oboma. Look i hope Fitzgerald is honorable and will not be made into a scum bag by the bots. I believe oboma is out in front in trying to hide this issue. You have talk about this guy being mentally unfit. Please that is just a con line to discredit anything he says which could implicate anything dealing with the obomas. This stick and it sticks to high heaven but i cant say i am surprised by the least. I would guess when it is all said an donw a few people with be taken down in defense of their savior oboma. Rham will be thrown under the bus just like Hillary by oboma, you watch this is going to happen. You cant be propelled to the presidency with this little of a resume without dirty dealings carring you on the way. I must say i am sitting here and actually laughing my ass off.
hillstheone 12.13.08 at 3:39 am
“You can’t be propelled to the presidency with this little of a resume without dirty dealings carrying you on the way,” well-said, airforcehusker!!

airforcehusker,
One more thing before I hit the hay, here’s another re-post about media coverage from the last couple days you might find interesting, it looks like ABC is still one of our most trusted networks:
~ ~ ~
Only ABC’s World News Questions Obama’s
Relationship with Blago
The three broadcast networks started their evening newscasts on Tuesday with stories on Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s arrest and corruption charges. All of the newscasts mentioned Blagojevich’s Democratic affiliation, but only in passing. And, only ABC’s World News questioned the details about the Illinois Governor’s relationship with President-elect Barack Obama, while NBC and CBS brushed over the President-elect’s connections with Blagojevich and seemed content to end their investigation of this relationship by reporting on Obama’s statement that he was not aware of what was going on.
ABC and NBC both identified Blagojevich as a Democrat early in their reports. NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams’s introduction to the report by Lee Cowan described the charge as “that the two-term Democratic Governor tried to sell a seat in the US Senate to the highest bidder.” Brian Ross, reporting for ABC’s World News, identified the Illinois Governor as “the boyish looking Democrat branded a greedy, foul mouth politician who tried to sell a US Senate seat to the highest bidder.”
The CBS Evening News, however, did not identify Blagojevich as a Democrat until the very end of Dean Reynolds’s report when an on-screen graphic identified the Governor as “(D) Illinois” and Reynolds claimed that “fellow Democrats worry that whoever he might pick could wind up tainted politically and could ultimately cost the party a valuable seat in Congress.”
[This item, by the MRC intern Lyndsi Thomas, was posted Wednesday afternoon on the MRC's blog, NewsBusters.org: newsbusters.org ]
The first report on World News by Brian Ross only noted that “President-elect Obama said today he was not involved in any way.” But Tapper appeared later in the broadcast to recap his research on Obama’s relationship with Blagojevich and what contact the two have had regarding the vacant Senate seat.
World News anchor Charlie Gibson first asked Tapper “what contact, or do we know what contacts the Barack Obama camp had with Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy?”:
TAPPER: Well, that of course is the big question, Charlie, because Governor Blagojevich in this criminal complaint speaks quite assuredly as if he knows that President-elect Obama’s not willing to give him other than, quote, appreciation, for naming his preferred candidate to the Senate seat, so with whom did he speak? We’re not getting a lot of answers from the Obama team right now.
Gibson went on to ask, “and, Jake, I know Barack Obama now is not probably going to get within ten thousand miles of the Illinois governor because this is so scandalous but they were close in the past, right?”
TAPPER: Well, I wouldn’t say that they were personally close but they had the kind of symbiotic relationship that a lot of state politicians had. Obama advised him in Blagojevich’s 2002 run. Blagojevich worked for Obama in his 2004. Obama endorsed Blagojevich for reelection very early in 2005 for that 2006 race. Things started to sour, however, when it became clear that Blagojevich was under investigation and they haven’t really had a close relationship professionally in the last couple years. In fact, Obama kept Blagojevich from speaking at the Democratic convention over the summer.
The report filed by Lee Cowan on NBC’s Nightly News was less descriptive and failed to identify David Axelrod, Obama’s chief strategist turned White House Senior Advisor, as the person who claimed Obama had spoken to Blagojevich about his Senate replacement:
COWAN: Barack Obama has advised Blagojevich in the past, even endorsed him, and according to one senior adviser did talk to Blagojevich about his replacement in the Senate. But today aides said that adviser misspoke, and the president-elect himself said he knew nothing about the behind-the-scenes efforts to fill his former seat.
Later, NBC political director Chuck Todd appeared to discuss Obama’s relationship with Blagojevich and claimed that Blagojevich’s statements were the “most exculpatory thing” for Obama: “A lot of concentric circles between Blagojevich and Obama. There’s no question that there’s going to be some folks that Obama’s bringing from Chicago to Washington, some that might have actually had conversations with the governor that are going to be in tape recordings that the FBI was wiretapping with. But there’s clearly no evidence that anything was going on, and if anything, the quotes from Blagojevich in that amazing indictment are the most exculpatory thing there for the President-elect.”
The CBS Evening News was the worst, though, as Dean Reynolds did not detail Obama’s relationship with the Illinois Governor or report on Axelrod’s claims that Obama had talked with Blagojevich about who his replacement should be:
REYNOLDS: Prosecutors said the complaint against Blagojevich did not include Obama and while the extent of contact with Obama’s transition team and the governor are far from clear, the President-elect today was.
OBAMA: I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not–I was not aware of what was happening. And as I said, it’s a sad day for Illinois. Beyond that, I don’t think it’s appropriate to comment.
Zee 12.13.08 at 3:48 am
“Zee! wherever you are–hope you didn’t run off to talk smack. blah.”
No worries, kat.
You certainly aren’t worth talking smack about, but it seems that every time I do get busy I come back and find the likes of YOU, and Mountainsong, and the knitting circle clique, calling me out by name for no reason whatsoever…Mountainsong had delusions that I and a couple of other PUMAs had super-cyber-powers to crash other people’s computers.
And then you laughably accuse me of “calling people out” by name when I’m responding to them by name and number in a current thread. Why don’t you worry about your own calling people out behind their backs when they’re not even on the threads that day?
Nijma 12.13.08 at 3:49 am
I don’t get why everyone is so excited about the negotiations going on over Obama’s senate seat. In every ploace there is, it matters what kind of money a candidate can bring to the table to help other candidates and the party. When they talked about Caroline Kennedy in New York, one of the things they considered was her fundraising capabilities.
So Blagojevich talked about offering money. Big deal. Did money change hands? ????? Myiq talked about his ex getting killed. Did anyone arrest him for murder yet? Nope. Now he’s got a video about grandma getting run over by a reindeer. And what about the guy with the Sarah Palin noose? and the punching out Sarah Palin? Did they do anything? It’s just talk. So far.
Of course, Blagojevich has kept his campaign promise not to expand gambling. That can’t make someone too happy.

Yes nijma but you have to look at what oboma promised. A transparent presidency. One open to the public and being above the fray of washington etc. Most people who didnt support him new this would never happen but most didnt realize something would be showing up so soon.

kat,
Obviously, you do talk smack and call people out by name.
You can go ahead and accuse others of doing what you do if that’s what you mean by doing “whatever the fuck you want” but don’t expect to be able to accuse others of doing what you do and not get called on that.
Too bad.
Zee 12.13.08 at 4:13 am
Oh, and I come here despite the knitting circle and their clicking tongues.
After all, I’m glad PUMAbear was not run off by being falsely accused of race-baiting, and I’m glad Nijma was not run off by the delusional accusations of her causing someone’s computer to crash, and nor will I be run off by someone talking smack behind my back and falsely accusing me of the same.

Zee says:
“Obviously, you do talk smack and call people out by name.”
Yes, I do! You.
I noticed you dragged mountainsong into this up there, your POINT?
So, as usual, it’s been wonderful you stopped by. Hey, others might enjoy how you like to bring up negative or regrettable things involving PUMAbear and Nijma, and “clicking tongues,” and “knitting circles”…but really, it’s not all *that* enjoyable for everyone.

I have an idea. I’d like to try to squash this with you. How about we ignore one another? We don’t need to “act” civil or cordial–it’s a blog. So, we can ignore one another. Not in a mean way, just in such a way so that we don’t have to deal with butting heads with one another. I feel unhappy when I interact with you. So, I’m just going to attempt to not deal with you. It would help if it was mutual–for obvious reasons. Consider it.

Good Morning Pumas:
You know, I was just going to mention the Con. Convention thing with all of you, myself.
A friend of mine called me and woke me up in the middle of the night to warn me about this.
She was reading World Net Daily and read some of the comments and went to different links. She said we ALL have to be worried.
She said she went to one cite that showed we still have those WWII camps that were used, I guess, for the Japanese.
You could say we’re being alarmists, but, with the Civilian Force, Truth Squad, Fairness Doctrine, tinkering with the natural born clause and term limits of the constitution, MSM cover-up, back-door deals between political groups and everything else I have forgotten this election year, our worry might be well-founded.
I pray to God, Blag and Rezko talk. I’ve never seen so many of our rights run over and trampled on, as I have by Obama and both political parties.
I feel like I’ve been awakened by a bad dream, only this is reality.
indy 12.13.08 at 7:45 am
airforcehusker – I just looked on World Net daily for the article and now it’s not on there. Hmmmmmmm. Go there and see if you can find it.
Anyway, they have a new article on using the military to quell insurrection. Here’s some of it:
YOUR GOVERNMENT AT WORK
U.S. troops’ new mission: America’s ‘special events’
Proposal would allow civilians to activate Army to prevent ‘environmental damage’
Posted: December 13, 2008
12:20 am Eastern
By Bob Unruh
© 2008 WorldNetDaily
U.S. soldiers and weaponry
“New rules published in the Federal Register would allow certain civilians to call American soldiers into action inside the U.S. to prevent environmental damage or respond to “special events” and “other domestic activities.”
The alarming warning is contained in proposed rules published last week for the Department of Defense’s “Defense Support of Civil Authorities” plan.
Under the U.S. Constitution, soldiers inside the country essentially are tasked with the responsibility of quelling “insurrections” and repelling invasions as well as making sure each state has access to the republican form of government.
But the new rules go far beyond that, essentially establishing a plan to activate the U.S. military inside the country to deal with social issues under provisions that appear to be devoid of any connection to the Constitution, according to an expert.”

Just got this urgent e-mail from Doug Schell at dem disaster. This is very scary. Today is the 13th and his alert is dated the 10th. I hope other people acted on it. This is the first step to trash the constitution and do away with the natural born citizen requirment.
http://www.rense.com/general84/consttit.htm
And yes, I absolutely believe there is a mole in Fitz’ office. I hope it’s not Fitz as he goes out of his way to say Obummer is not involved. He also did that when Rezco was indicted and I think he had plenty to go after BO with. BO even said he made a “bone headed mistake.” Everything is a mistake and everyone overlooks it. I’m so sick of him. I want him out of there.
ladyhawkke 12.13.08 at 7:55 am
Sorry everyone, I didn’t read all the previous posts about the Con Convention. Me bad! Anyway, still alarming and I’m going to call those numbers and leave messages and also fax them.

I received a response from Mike Ritze who put forth a citizenship bill:
Thanks for your input…I will make sure the final version will address your concerns…Merry Christmas.

Dear Rep. Ritze:
Thank you for putting forth a bill regardinga citizenship requirement for persons running for offiice. I am a registered Democrat who voted for McCain/Palin. I absolutely do not believe that Obama is a natural born citizen as required by the constitution. As you know there are several lawsuits pending against Obama regarding this matter. For your information, I am attaching the following link for your information regarding the latest suit which is before Justice Scalia. Please read all of the information there as I believe this is a very compelling case. We the people are discouraged when told we do not have “standing” to question whether Obama is a citizen.
http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/
As to your proprosed law, this needs to be very specific as to the “natural born” requirement for President. The birth certificate posted by Obama on his website is insufficient to prove whether he is natural born. Obama’s father was Kenyan and a British subject and, therefore, Obama is not natural born even if he were born in HI. Other law suits state he was born in Kenya. Furthermore, I believe that the application to run for President should have a sworn statement by the candidate that he is natural born and constitutionally qualified to run, and must provide a certified copy of their “vault” birth certificatae. As you are aware, if you are adopted, the original certificate is sealed.
Furthermore, I have contacted the Senate Ethics Committee by fax on two separate occasions regarding Obama’s violation of the Logan Act. Once when he went to Germany and second, when he campaigned for his cousin Odinga in Kenya.
http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/10/09/did-soetorobama-campaign-advise-his-cousin-odinga-on-how-to-overthrow-the-us-backed-kenyan-government/ Obama’s allegiance seems to be with other countries rather than our own.
You are the lawmaker and I trust you will insure to the American people that the persons elected are duly qualified to run. Additionally, Resolution 511 does not satisfy the requirement that McCain is natural born and Caldero ran for President and was born in Nicaragua. The Constitution must be upheld per the framers. Thank you.

I wish that we could learn more about the inner workings of The New Agenda. I thought that I supported it, but am troubled by Murphy’s comments. I would follow Murphy into any battle. I am going to post something at New Agenda. I really think we need coalesce a bit, so I am looking for a vehicle.
airforcehusker 12.13.08 at 9:27 am
According to hillaryclintonforum.net the New Agenda is a big hoax. The word is it is being used to have people ask questions. The questions asked are then read by fellow obomobots and vote up or down the chain. If they fall to far off the chain they are discarded. For instance a question like Is Oboma going to be the most transparent President in the history of the united states? Obots like the question so they stamp it and move it up the chain to the top. Now you take a question like why wont you provide your sealed birth certificate? Obots find that hostage and stamp it down and force it off the page.
So in a sense yes these questions are being mainuplated. That is my understanding.

According to hillaryclintonforum.net the New Agenda is a big hoax.
————————-
Over the first several months of joining puma pac, the number of Pumas I trusted numbered 7. Over time, having had contact with Pumas from other blogs, that number grew to 11. This, just so you know where I’m coming from.
I do not believe the New Agenda is a fraud, as in a front for anything other than that which they say they are… the new NOW (which is funny in a pathetic way, especially in light of their recent actions regarding gropergate. Maybe they shopuld call them selves the New Now Old NOW).
And while they count among their members, women who self-identify as feminists, and are branding the NA as ‘the’ new movement for ‘all women’ (the term I most clearly recall being tossed around is: ‘regardless of party affiliation”, although, in fairness, one woman (a guest or caller on blog radio), did run through the ‘quick list’ (class, status, race, educational background, etc.), in defining their group / movement, they are sure to remind people tat they will not make the same mistakes NOW made, and then they proceed to trash NOW (women thrown under the bus), with zero recognition to the advances and accomplishments NOW has made in the name of women. Then, for whatever reason, Murphy (a woman) is thrown under the bus, along with Betty Jean, and who knows how many other women are under their bus that we don’t know about.
I’m waiting for NA to define what “all women” means, and I want the definition to be expressed in actions, not ‘just words’. They also might think about what feminisim actually means, and how it translates into action. I’m not invested though, I left my enthusiasm and support for NA behind weeks ago, and their recent actions just reinforces my position.

No need to apologize. Innocent mistake. I think you meant to refer to teh transition team site? BabyBoomer had an interesting article on that site a day or two ago… how they scrubbed the groper and sexism questions.
It’s at the confluence (link on right hand sidebar of this site). Eye opening read.

KAREN,
Wanted to tell you I had a sad dream last night about a special someone I have been waiting and waiting to hear from over the holidays.
But THEN, at the end of the dream a woman was fixing breakfast for me. Guess what she was fixing?? Scrambled eggs! She was making them in the pan and there were a LOT of them, I think about 10 eggs! I kind of doubt this means anything but I couldn’t help thinking about our earlier conversation about Humpty Dumpty (Oblahblah) having a great fall & having scrambled eggs for Christmas, haha!!
Maybe it’s not just Oblahblah facing possible criminal charges, maybe there are 8 or 9 others….!
hillstheone 12.13.08 at 11:16 am

I’m pretty much reduced to a wheelchair because of spinal stenosis. It’s really gotten bad in just a few weeks and I can barely walk 15 feet now. The fall I had was caused by it and the fall seems to have accelerated it somehow. Any help would be appreciated.

I was recently at a WH Smith book store and a guy at the counter figured out i was an american (accent tipped him off) anyhow he pointed to a 1/2 price book section and said you might want this book. “The audacity of hope” Obomas book. I laughed and said does a roll of toilet paper come with it. The man said no why. I simply said becuase Oboma is full of shit. The man laughed and said i guess there is some truth about americans not liking him. I said there are plenty of americans that dont like him you just dont hear it in the news media. Yes i am proud to be part of the group that didnt vote for him. he just smiled but knew where i was coming from.

The Constitution does not need to be gutted, we need to get involved. Any one trying this obviously wants it to their advantage, but I’ll bet O is looking for a way to get rid of the “natural born citizen” clause. President Arnie anybody.

Hello. Well, we finally have some sunshine today. It’s still cold though.
My husband got a phone call from the DNC last night while I was out. The DNC is raising money for “Al Franken” and his ridiculous Senate election mess. My husband told the person on the phone that we left the Party in June. He asked why and my husband said “I will give you three words as to why – Barrack Hussein Obama.” Actually, it has to do with a lot more reasons than that, but he didn’t go into it. The caller said, Oh, you didn’t support him. My husband said no and he said that Franken is a joke.

Rahm Emanuel talked with governor’s office about who should fill Obama’s Senate seat
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-rahmobama13dec13,0,3359611.story
Dec. 13 2008
“…One source confirmed that communications between Emanuel and the Blagojevich administration were captured on court-approved wiretaps.
Another source said that contact between the Obama camp and the governor’s administration regarding the Senate seat began the Saturday before the Nov. 4 election, when Emanuel made a call to the cell phone of Harris. The conversation took place around the same time press reports surfaced about Emanuel being approached about taking the high-level White House post should Obama win….
…Though now working full-time on Obama’s transition, Emanuel has yet to resign his congressional seat.”

Sue66 Hi Sue. Well, my sister Sag, did you survive the moon?
I saw where you said you have spinal stenosis and it put you in a wheelchair. I’m wondering how old you are and how long you’ve known you had it.
Just this last year, I was sent to the ‘Pain Clinic’ where the doctor there showed me the results of my MRI on the computer. apparently I have stenosis, also, in three places in the thoracic area. I also have a completely degenerated and disappeared disc, along with 4 other bulging discs, so the doctors don’t want to operate for fear of making things worse.

This woman BettyJean is insane. She has totally crossed the line now on dissing me and our group. She had the pass for the dying daughter for a day – but 3 days later it is gone. I am getting emails from people saying what is wrong with that woman! Frankly, enough is enough!
Since the three of you profess to know her I’d ask the following: 1) I want our logo removed from her website. She is nuts. I do not want our organization affiliated with her in any way. People are emailing me background on her – and again – I do not want our group affiliated with her in any way! 2) she has got to move on already. This is insane.

Yes Amy, it is insane of you to request of me to do anything. I have no control over Betty Jean.
Yes Amy, it is unprofessional of you to request of me to do anything. I have no control over Betty Jean.
And I will add that the way you talk about a woman who’s daughter is dying and weighs 88lbs, is disgusting. You need to get a little tougher skin there Amy. She is a member who is unhappy with a decision of yours. You imply you know she suffers from some mental disease because people are sending you background, that is a gross thing to put in an email to me. What is this the gestapo. To plant those types of thoughts without any evidence is beyond the pale.
I want nothing to do with an organization that treats women like this, especially one you think is nuts and needs help. A little compassion Amy goes a long way. A little responsibility taking when you fuck up goes a long way.
Stop blaming Betty Jean and anyone else for your screw up. People are pissed at you because the New Agenda sold them down the river. They thought you were something new and were concerned to find out you backed down on a very important issue.
There are better ways to handle this type of thing Amy and you have failed miserably.

Just want to let you know that my Mom drives me crazy with Obama and all that is realted to him, due to her Passion and Love for the PUMA’S and her beleif’s, and that I fully support her in her mission and yours. In this day we are fortunate that people still stand up for their rights and the rights of others through thier beliefs. Without the PUMA’s I personally do not know were my Mom would be today so “Thank You”. There really is a PUMA Sanata Claus for real and you all know who you are “Thank You” so much. As a person who believes very little in the people we call politicians, due to my personal experiences all over this great world, I will volunteer my time to the Puma’s as a Strong Arm whenever I am called, not that I want to, it’s just the right thing to do wrt the help the PUMA’s have given to my Mom. So if there is a PUMA Army which would have been nice for Denver as Mom says, then I would have been PUMA ARMY NOMADS “Viper Leader”, rodger that!

I *wonder* who was sending Siskind “background” information and complaining about Betty, but it doesn’t matter. I know exactly what they were trying to accomplish, and in a way it worked–but only because NA *let* it work. I think they got suckered.
People *do* have ulterior motives out there. There are people who want to divide and destroy alliances, and they’ll do it in the most cunning ways. That’s something to be privy to. NA needs to wake up to that.

airforcehusker 12.13.08 at 1:55 pm
Actually SandiPuma Son,
Oboma did alot to bring people together, unfortunately it was his opposition. I would have never gotten on a board like this pre or post election but things changed. I was a supporter of McCain/Palin and felt they never had a chance following the financial mess. I wasnt surprised at the outcome i only hoped things would be different. Now i am a military member returning to the states in April and sadly i am sad to be coming home to this loser of an elected official. No i willnot call him president. He is my commander-in-chief but that is where it end. Anyhow Merry Christmas and wish you the best.

Some journalists spin stories about that investigation to sound like Fitz is saying BO is not involved. However what Fitz really says is very careful, just saying BO is not in the documents currently being released.
A smart lawyer at h44, wbboei, has been comparing news stories. Never believe anything that isn’t a direct quote, and even then it may be out of context or important things may be left out.

BillieJo,
TNA, is a group of 10-15 women who somehow garner a lot of media.
NO THANKS — Been there and done that before.
We need a grassroots movement. We need to keep going forward. Everyone makes mistakes. I make them all the time. Someone who makes a mistake ought to face up to it rather than blame others in viscious ways.
I have NO regrets.

Congratulations RE: Patriot Brigade Radio !!!
KarenWI 12.13.08 at 2:31 pm
Well, I really don’t know much about the situation.. I’m just speaking as a leader of a group of people that is now over 1300 strong from around the world. We have had some members who give out false information about our eye disease, and not the truth sometimes. These same people, when I post the truth, lambast me on the board and that starts a “revolt” in the group of “taking sides” and fighting. I’ve learned that as soon as a member posts publicly on the board something that attacks me as leader I have to act quickly by “moderating” them (this is a Yahoo group and “moderating” means not allowing them to post on the group posting board without having their posts read and approved first), and sometimes by kicking them out and banning them from the group. I know as a group leader how much civil war it creates to keep someone posting in there who- rightly or wrongly- is dissing the leadership publicly on the posting board. It is much better if someone disagrees with the leadership to do so privately between them and the leader(s) and not on the public board. Now by saying that I am neither standing in approval for the NA leader’s actions, nor disapproval of them since I don’t know what was or wasn’t done or why. I just thought I saw SOMETHING in the letter to taggles that said something about dissing the leader on the board or something and wanted, as a leader, to put in my “2 cents worth”. That does not in any way, shape, or form, mean that I am in agreement with whatever was done without knowing the circumstances that led to this…

Murphy & Sheri,
On one hand I am so sorry that you had to take heat for me and I was just about to appologize until after reading the entire blog I got to this end and saw Sheri’s comment. then I realized – I inadvertantly did us all a favor.
You see anything that I did – I did openly. I wrote my criticisms of her action wheras she spoke for American women – in the open , and as you both know any personal email I wrote to her was always BCC to you both so you are aware that i was always lucid. On the other hand – it is obvious that this person is not only a liar – she is vicious – underhanded – dangerous – self centered – heartless and now I find she is also capable of liable. As you both well know the communication between us lasted 3 hours or so not 3 days although her continued ranting appears to have lasted 3 days.
Unfortunatly, even though I have tried my best through blog and newsletters to smoth it over for the sake of the organization and the other founders Amy Siskind will not be appeased until she has had her pound of flesh.
Of course – I will not let her and I can see that you will not either. I am proud to call you both friend and I can see that we have an army of other friends that will never give her the ability to win this vendetta moreover she has proven to be unfir to head this organization and the founders should move to dethrown her immediately before she destroys the entire group with her poisonous hatred.

KarenWI 12.13.08 at 2:49 pm
Most leaders of groups are not crazy. However, if one has a vendetta of some kind I still say it’s best to approach it privately. Contact friends in the group privately and let them know what you feel and why. Peel off from the group. I know of two other groups who are for the same eye disease as the one I own. The first one I used to be a moderator in. In that group I found out they are getting paid under the table the the drs in order to get willing guinea pigs for experiments of new procedures without the patients knowing how risky it is. That group is still going strong, and is still growing. There is no way I can expose the group and get it destroyed, much as I’d like to. I have to just run my own group with the truth, and pray for those who are being misled in that group. The other group is one who was started by somebody we kicked out for being stark raving mad. Just as an example, he was telling members to go have cornea transplants done and then go out that same day and use a jackhammer!! His “group” is small and not amounting to much of anything so I’m not too concerned about that. However, sometimes when a group leader is really off the wall, accusing them of it publicly isn’t something I’d recommend; work privately, and then work on your own (or with your friends) to be one to tell the TRUTH to counter the misinformation the wacky leader is giving out… but don’ do it in THEIR group. Usually you will only strengthen those who believe in that leader by doing that….

Choice quote:
“There’s the enormous I-should-have-had-a-V8! moment as the mainstream press collectively thwacks itself in the forehead, realizing it blew it again. The New York Times — which, according to Wall Street analysts, is weeks from holding editorial board meetings in a refrigerator box — created the journalistic equivalent of CSI-Wasilla to study every follicle and fiber in Sarah Palin’s background, all the while treating Obama’s Chicago like one of those fairy-tale lands depicted in posters that adorn little girls’ bedroom walls. See there, Suzie? That’s a Pegasus. That’s a pink unicorn. And that’s a beautiful sunflower giving birth to a fully grown Barack Obama, the greatest president ever and the only man in history to be able to pick up manure from the clean end.”

Power hungry arses who are there only for the glory they think they acheive by craping over those who do the actual work and make the organization grow.

Mountainsong, so far so good in surviving the moon. I made it!!! I’m 54 and have had spinal stenosis for 4 years. Same problem with the surgery. It would help, but not fix the pain and numbness in my legs and would make my back a lot worse than it is. I move about as much as I can but even a walker doesn’t help anymore. I’m guessing I won’t be able to work this season unless it improves a lot so maybe I can find something else at the theatre to do.

Federal Register proposed rule change, December 4 2008 for the Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA)
The Federal Register is the official daily publication for rules, proposed rules, and notices of Federal agencies and organizations, as well as executive orders and other presidential documents.
http://frwebgate5.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate.cgi?WAISdocID=194211519070+0+3+0&WAISaction=retrieve
SUMMARY: This proposed rule establishes policy and assigns
responsibilities for DSCA, supplements regulations regarding military support for civilian law enforcement, and sets forth policy guidance for the execution and oversight of DSCA when requested by civil authorities and approved by the appropriate DoD authority, or as directed by the President, within the United States, including the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and any territory or possession of the United States or any political subdivision thereof. Legislative changes over the years have made the existing guidance outdated and inconsistent with current law and the current organizational structure of the Department of Defense. This proposed rule will allow civil authorities access to the correct procedures when they are seeking assistance from the Department by establishing updated policy guidance and assigning the correct responsibilities within the Department for the Defense for support of civil authorities in response to requests for assistance for domestic emergencies, designated law enforcement support, special events, and other domestic activities. Interested persons are invited to submit
comments on this proposed rule that will be considered prior to
promulgation of the final rule.
This proposed rule change is (Regulatory Information Number) RIN 0790–AI34
Comments must be received by February 2, 2009.
Obama has made clear that he sees the fiscal meltdown as a once-in-a-generation chance to reset the nation’s priorities.

ATTENTION MURPHY:::
Good Afternoon Pumas
Murphy I have just read through all of your postings, as to why you are sad and this is in essence what you stated:
Murphy:…………I got kicked out of the new agenda, at the same time that all my friends are still in it and that makes me a little sad.
And now they are trying to say that Betty Jean is Crazy.
Also, Betty’s daughter has 48 hours before she will succumb to dying of cancer. And I don’t think that’s right.
They have good reason to kick me out of the new agenda, I did a wrong thing.
But I was sticking up for my friend, so I won’t apologize for doing the wrong thing that I did.
I stuck up for Betty Jean, Kat. They want to ridicule her as a crazy old fat lady.
But I won’t apologize for this.
**************************************
Murphy, It does not make sense to me that they would ask you to resign or tell you to get out!
It sounds as if there was a debate which (quickly digressed into a ridicule of Betty Jean’s personality) about most of it was probably all negative comments from you description above..
My question is, even if you whole heartily defended Betty Jean, why would the (the new agenda, a women’s movement, wherein all women are welcome and all voices shall be heard) dismiss you as a member for defending another member, or at least another female?
I would love to go over to http://thenewagenda.net/ and give them a piece of my feminist and puma mind, but I need know how they could have justified their action against you Murphy?
They have good reason to kick me out of the new agenda, I did a wrong thing. WHAT WAS THIS WRONG THING?
TexasTigress 12.13.08 at 4:08 pm
Murph -
I am sorry that you are sad – as you know , I MUCH prefer you angy
…
Listen , I remeber when the NA came to you and asked you and Tag to be ‘post founding founders’ (whatever the fuck that is ) and I was happy for you because you seemed happy about it . At the same time I expressed concern about the group to a friend of mine on here …
I know that you are going to be sought after in any organization because you are just dynamic , but now it is obvious that they wanted your ‘brand’ and not necessarily your beautiful mind and strong opinions . Fuck them .
I do hope you don’t honestly feel that you were only defending a friend and that’s why they kicked you out . I mean , I am hoping you embrace that you were kicked out for , once again , standing up for what you believe in .
What Amy did with Favreau was UNACCEPTABLE . If they wouldn’t have kicked you out , I would imagine that you would have eventually had to tell them to shove it anyway .
They wanted YOU , Murph . They needed your name , your face , your skills and your blog to further THEIR agenda . You never needed them . Remember that . And be careful in the future not to be overly flattered by groups who would offer you a “post founding founder’ position .
I , for one , can tell you if you are not a ‘founding founder’ I will be taking a goood hard look before I ever sign up for a newsletter .

MK, I couldn’t open the link about the rule but I hope it’s referring to the use of our MILITARY personnel within our own borders, which was not allowed. Recently the BUSH admin has proposed allowing the military to participate in response to terror attacks within our borders, which makes sense to me. Obimbo wants a civilian force outside the military chain of command. I think it’s a different thing. You may be right to worry, though!

I just visit the New Agenda and apparently some of the bloggers do not even know who Murphy is or whether she is a guy or a gal. The New Agenda is only 4 months old,shall we let them live six months?
After reading their answer to one of the pictures Puma posted they sound like pussy cat, not Puma cat types at all!
POSTINGS FROM THEIR SITE:
Honora on December 13th, 2008 9:31 am
Murphy from PUMApac.org. commented on her blog last night that she has had some kind of falling out with The New Agenda. Murphy is amazing and has done incredible things during this stressful time. I do not know what the nature of the problem is, but I would like to say that we need to mend this rift. I was hoping that The New Agenda could be the umbrella group for all the PUMA groups that have been formed this election cycle. Please do not start splintering again. Disagreement is healthy as long as we keep an eye on the ultimate goal. PS Fratboy is an idiot, but we have dealt with worse. I am not sure that I want the face of the discrimination Hillary faced to be this guy.

Honora I don’t know what dispute you are referring to, but let me say that I was offended by an image I saw on a blog the other day. Do you think Middle Eastern leaders are going to view that image as a-ok, but the one we complain about as wrong? They both insult Clinton. I don’t know the blog owner, but I wish she would remove it.
I opened my e-mail this morning to another defense of boys will be boys from a feminist, and one who is in a position of authority over youth. Our poor daughters, our threatened, defenseless daughters.

I mean, when a so called ‘women’s movement’ is worried more about what the misogynist Iranian men would think, you just know that they will not survive.
They and their agenda are dead in the water, we need women leaders that are fighters, that know how to pick their fights and know when to attack.

The water therapy sure feels good and I think helps strengthen what I have left. I did this until I couldn’t afford it anymore. The therapist told me the best exercise was to get about armpit deep and just walk back and forth across the pool. I really miss being able to walk. To me it was stress reducing therapy. I am going to look into a mobility scooter just so I can have some measure of independence. I hate not being able to even go get a litre of cream without asking someone to drive me.

I love the full moon and the coming solstice. My youngest was born on the winter solstice which was also a full moon. There was a snow storm that night and they had 15 births. What a night! And what a kid she has turned out to be. I am not sad at this time of year because there is a new woman’s movement starting. This time it is not one voice. We need a radical voice, a comical voice and a firm grown up voice. I actually think a violent woman’s voice would be helpful because then the non violent women’s voices seem like a good bet to negotiate with. I think there are enough women who have made it out to the top of their professions that we can now make the final push to 52% representation in the power structures of the world, Religious, Media, Corporate and Political. We don’t need permission, we need to run over anyone who gets in our way.

kat in your hat 12.13.08 at 5:30 pm
taggles, murphy, et al:
Ok, I have an idea on this New Agenda/ Puma thing.
Now that the dust has cleared some: it is make up or break up time.
It sounds like a break up, which is completely fine. So, knowing how people feel sad and bothered after break ups–one of the ways to help move on is to write a settlement/ closure letter.
I think it would help to write out a brief business style letter to Siskand, and to sort of tie up loose strings, (without rehashing *any* of the specifics of disagreement) and maybe say that it is unfortunate that things did not work out, and that you hope they go on to focus and succeed in the area of women’s success and women’s rights. As such, Puma will go on to do the same–among other goals. Engaging in any further disagreements is of no benefit to either group and serves no purpose as we move forward. We are heading toward a New Year, let it be the year of Woman. Good Luck to you, and good bye.
***
Something like that, you know? This way, we can diffuse some negative energy and not feel stagnated in sadness or regret or anger. At this point, it does not matter who was in the right or wrong, because it is a break up. Now is the time for closure and to sever any emotional concerns. This is just my thinking, since this is mainly business.
As we move on, we can be the bigger people and not languish in any anger at them, and just let them do their thing. If they are for women: good luck to them. It can be their thing and they will find out what works and what doesn’t work.
We are very busy here at Puma Pac, and we have a lot of good minds and busy “workers” (prowlers, action groups, etc). We need to just do our thing, and you will see that with our continued success that we will continue to have our own brand of respect and status. We are a passionate group. We are scrappy. We question authority and we fight the status quo. And we all have heart and passion. Can’t buy that. We already got that. We are fine.
So, I think for the *health and happiness* of puma, we should have closure with NA, wish them well, move on, and kick ass on our terms.
turndownobama 12.13.08 at 5:30 pm
Terry,
The Favreau photo may be very damaging to the US and to Hillary when it reaches the Middle East. Some foreigners may not realize it is a replica. (Even some US bots thought it was the real Hillary.)
Imo the only way to minimize that international damage is for Favreau to be fired or resign BEFORE the photo circulates round the world. That makes it a stupid action that a kid got fired for — not something that the US President approves.
As for Murphy’s wonderful Michaelangelo picture, nobody is going to think THAT is real.
(I am so going to steal that picture for fire-jon-favreau.blogspot! Also the one of pumas advancing toward Denver if I can find it again.)
Seattlegirl 12.13.08 at 5:34 pm
Let me just comment on Bettie Paige. Women like this did nothing to liberate women or society sexually. The 50′s is the start of the Playboy myth that still survives that women’s sexuality is expressed by trying to be sexually attractive to men to win male approval and that women do not have another side of their sexuality which is the side where they sit on the chubby imperfect sweat panted bums and check out hot men. Sexist institutions like Playboy directly state that women are not sexually visual, we don’t have our own fantasies. Bullshit. I happen to know a bunch of teen girls who have been going to “Twlight” every weekend to ogle the men in it. They also consider the Harry Potter movies hunk fests. Apparently no one told them they were not visual when it came to sexuality. To this day the male controlled media establishment tries to exclusively sell the idea that sexy “women’s content” tells women how they can best fit into male sexual fantasies. They do not acknowledge that women have their own sexual fantasies that involve women being them selves and natural. So do not expect me to admire women like Paige, They did nothing but conform to male standards to gain male approval which is not impressive to me and which has caused an infection that still eats away at society.

Oh, by “auditing” I mean what others call “lurking.” I can’t stand the term lurking; brings to mind shady characters in trench coats and low-slung fedoras, haunting the perimeters of playgrounds.

How sad that your first response to your insecurities is to strip off your clothes. Not someone I want my daughter to emulate or even know about. No more Friends re-runs on our tv. Silly woman, put your tits away already. Are you a person or a set of genitalia?” WTF, I had my say.

SUMMARY: This proposed rule establishes policy and assigns
responsibilities for DSCA, supplements regulations regarding military support for civilian law enforcement, and sets forth policy guidance for the execution and oversight of DSCA when requested by civil authorities and approved by the appropriate DoD authority, or as directed by the President, within the United States, including the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and any territory or possession of the United States or any political subdivision thereof. Legislative changes over the years have made the existing guidance outdated and inconsistent with current law and the current organizational structure of the Department of Defense. This proposed rule will allow civil authorities access to the correct procedures when they are seeking assistance from the Department by establishing updated policy guidance and assigning the correct responsibilities within the Department for the Defense for support of civil authorities in response to requests for assistance for domestic emergencies, designated law enforcement support, special events, and other domestic activities.

he he. Yes, I know, there are a few sorts of ideas on the “women’s movement”…and there are several types of feminism as well.
I think sexual freedom is good. I think it’s healthy. But “Girls Gone Wild”…enrages me, lol. There is no other way to put it. I think it’s *so* demeaning, and *so* villainous to take advantage of young and drunk girls, and to manipulate their self esteem and offer “stardom” by coaxing them to act like fools. I understand the attention feels good. I understand they may feel empowered by it. I understand they may feel in control. But it’s a hodgepodge of fleshy meaninglessness and emptiness and ALL for profit. I think it is degrading and humiliating.
Many of them are teenagers. I envision older creepy guys pleasuring themselves to watching the teenagers and it makes me sick.

Thanks for pointing out that the link fails. Must be to long. I changed it to a TinyURL and maybe that will work.
My post was about both a large civilian force AND the use of the military within our borders. The proposed rules change as posted in the Federal Register mentions “law enforcement support, special events, and other domestic activities”.
I will repost now with the tinyURL so you can read for yourself & see what you think.

Barack Obama: “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just a powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt2yGzHfy7s
Federal Register proposed rule change, December 4 2008 for the Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA)
The Federal Register is the official daily publication for rules, proposed rules, and notices of Federal agencies and organizations, as well as executive orders and other presidential documents.
This is the summary – http://tinyurl.com/67ydjy
This is the PDF – http://tinyurl.com/65aa6a
SUMMARY: This proposed rule establishes policy and assigns
responsibilities for DSCA, supplements regulations regarding military
support for civilian law enforcement, and sets forth policy guidance
for the execution and oversight of DSCA when requested by civil
authorities and approved by the appropriate DoD authority, or as
directed by the President, within the United States, including the
District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, and any territory or possession of the United States or any
political subdivision thereof. Legislative changes over the years have
made the existing guidance outdated and inconsistent with current law
and the current organizational structure of the Department of Defense.
This proposed rule will allow civil authorities access to the correct
procedures when they are seeking assistance from the Department by
establishing updated policy guidance and assigning the correct
responsibilities within the Department for the Defense for support of
civil authorities in response to requests for assistance for domestic
emergencies, designated law enforcement support, special events, and
other domestic activities. Interested persons are invited to submit
comments on this proposed rule that will be considered prior to
promulgation of the final rule.
This proposed rule change is (Regulatory Information Number) RIN 0790–AI34
Comments must be received by February 2, 2009.

Jenniforhillary: Yes, exactly! How many middle-aged men do you see taking off their clothes for the public, in order to prove they still have value? Why, oh, why do women do this to themselves? So, you’re attractive, you look good naked, be happy, be proud. But DON’T display yourself naked, like a piece of meat in a butcher shop window, to somehow prove to yourself and others that you still matter. Is your “f@ckability” actually what makes you count? Please. If that’s what you’re basing your self-worth on, you are doomed, unless you die young and pretty.

I only saw it once and thought it was degrading and total exploitation. And not too long after that, I read that the idiot who owns it got busted and was surprised he was treated so ‘badly’ by the authorities. Like he expected to treated as a ‘hero’? (* being sarcastic)
I’m not terribly fond of having Victoria’s Secrets catalogs in my inbox all the time. Talk about exploitation. And trying to advertise their poor, anorexic/bulimic models, who look one step from death, off as the epitome of female sexuality.

mountainsong: My nine-year-old daughter has already been exposed to the notion of “fat,” and she’s a delicate, slender girl. We had a long discussion about the realities of the female body and we visited several web sites dealing with anorexia and bulimia, so she could see firsthand what many women do to themselves in the name of “beauty.” She was horrified and has never worried again, as far as I know, about her weight. Since then, I’ve watched her carefully, just in case, but I think I made my point. I pray I made my point.

Congress. This is where questions about legislation should go, not comments to the president-elect (not the pres yet) or the DoD. Once again, BO is usurping the powers of congress, tearing of constitutional precedent left and right. We’re in trouble, people.

Good cop / bad cop can work. Radicals threatening to break windows makes the moderates the good guys. However as you say, we need to not let the press get a ‘catfight’ narrative, a ‘look how these PUMAs are splintering and attacking each other’.

“Girls Gone Wild” ads used to (probably still do) come on channels like Comedy Central, E!, and I think ESPN or FX–but usually after around 11 pm. Well, anyway, I have seen a hundred of their ads over these years because I used to watch a lot of TV at night before this year. Yeah, and I used to follow celebrity news too, so I know how the owner/ founder got busted…awww, lemme tell ya, I felt so sad about that. HA!

Looks like BO wants to change the Posse Comitatus Act so that the military can act as a police force and the police force can act like the military. Big change in the nature of divided power of state police and military. He wants the internal military/police to have the same authority and funding as the international force. I hear jackboots.
I guess He wants his military to answer only to him as commander-in -chief, maybe from a push on a blackberry button, completely circumventing the military command structure. If the military is fighting overseas we’ll have a police-military watching for “terrorists” and dissenters here at home.

Murphy and Pumas,
I’ve read most of the posts about Betty Jean, Amy, and the New Agenda.
Not being privy to everything and an outsider as far as the New Agenda, I think they are jealous of Murphy and used Betty Jean as an excuse.
Murphy, you’ve done a Herculean job putting PUMAPAC together. People actually listen when you get us PUMAs on a Prowl and tell us to put pressure on those who don’t treat women fairly, on standing up to the Democratic Party and not letting politicians, Congress and others trample on our Constitution.
We are making a difference. Most recently,look what the FECK TEAM did. They did a great job. Who else in this country did what they did.
We have a wealth of inside information shared on this site, too. And PUMAs don’t let anybody pull the wool over our eyes. PUMAs are the only ones not giving Obama, et al., a free pass.
We’re growing members and have a bunch of shy lurkers (like a friend of mine who’s coming to my house this week to learn how to blog here).
Murphy you have accomplished so much, please don’t let a group of jealous naysayers get you down.
If that’s how the New Agenda is going to be, then it’s not worth anybody’s time worrying about them. Consider the source.

Several aspects of this proposed rule change worry me, normapapuma. The biggest worry I have is that it’s Oweareinbigtrouble who will have this new power at his discretion. Another worrisome aspect: the wording of the rule change includes special events, and other domestic activities. What special events? What domestic activities? Why is this not being debated in Congress? Why a rule change and not a law change? Look at the birth certificate issue – the Obomination has already shown us what it thinks of complying with the rules the rest of us respect.
As PUMAbear pointed out also – Obama wants a large civilian force that can be militarized, and a military force that can become a domestic police force.
This is scary. Even in the hands of the benign & well-intended, this would be scary.

DancesWithPumas 12.13.08 at 8:17 pm
“Umbrella group” ??
… my ass.
The “Nothing New Agenda” is 4 months old. Where were they when Puma Pac was battling sexism and misogyny while also trying to defeat obamatron, get the democratic party to follow its own rules and bylaws, get a floor vote at the convention, protesting election fraud, fighting mainstream media, demonstrating in Denver? Where was the Nothing New Agenda when we were doing all the heavy lifting?
They folded around the gropergate issue. Couldn’t stand up to ‘father knows best’, instead, they turned around and ate their young. They failed at defending and standing up for women, and threw someone under the bus who did exactly that, did exactly what NA claimed as their intent. Murphy stood up and defended Betty Jean, so they threw Murphy under the bus.
NA should take a long hard look at themselves and define what “all women” means. Their definition should be expressed in actions, not ‘just words’. They might also think about what “feminisim” means, and how it translates into action. I’m not invested though, I left my enthusiasm and support for NA behind weeks ago, and their recent inactions / actions reinforces my position.
Taggles, you did all of us a service in pulling the curtain back by posting those bits of correspondence. Thank you.
Murphy, you did the right thing by staying true to yourself and those you call your friends.
Amy, not only are you a fraud in the name of Feminism, you are one profoundly despicable human being:
“She had the pass for the dying daughter for a day – but 3 days later it is gone.”
