Hey PPO–Sad to hear about “Spock”.

In tribute, maybe we should have a Vulcan Mind Meld between all Voxers tonight?
adlib7 days ago
Hey glenn, yes, he’ll be sorely missed, but what a legacy to leave the world of his talent
pinkpantheroz

Ad–I was never much of a trekkie–what’s a “Vulcan Mind Meld”?
glenn

glenn – A telepathic link between a Vulcan like Spock and someone else, “Your mind and my mind are one.”

Absolutely gutted about Nimoy today. My wife and I are in mourning. Which is atypical for us when it comes to people we’ve never met
funksands

Funk – What happened to the Second Extension…named that because it lasted a second?
adlib7 days ago
Ad, there’s rumor of a secret extension available only to low-income urban voters. Coined: “ObamaExtensions”
funksands

Funk and PPO – Nimoy was such a cultural icon as Spock. Almost unthinkable that he wouldn’t be around one day.
adlib7 days ago
Funk–I thought you’d be coming to us from CPAC tonight. Guess you didn’t want to submit yourself to Hannity’s “fox eyes”.

Ad, he was a much better man than an actor. World needs him back.

Kes – Well, quiet can be very good sometimes. Though when Boehner gets back, he may be whining in a very high pitch.
adlib7 days ago
Ad–as for leadership skills, he had to find the pen, pick it up, sign the bill, and then try to get the “dead” out of his eyes to “smile” for the camera. That’s leadership! Especially if he did it without a teleprompter!

CL, good point. Boehner must be selling Palin’s testosterone to the Tea party.
CL: According to the people who initiated the test, different people see different colors. It has to do with your eyesight and emotions – so they say. I saw white and gold which meant I was in a really good mood. If you saw black and blue you were dealing with some negative crap.

So it appears the Netanyahu show is still on. I email my Senators and Ben Cardin wrote me back and pretty much say “eff off”. He said the way Boehner did was inappropriate by that he, Cardin, RESPECTS Netanyahu. I wrote him back and gave him a piece of my mind. Dems can really piss me off, sometimes. This is not the first time Cardin has gotten on my wrong side. He won’t get my vote next time.

Funk and Sabreen–Read today that the number of Dems who won’t show up is 37. Not many, as far as I’m concerned. None of them should show up. When will our politicians, on either side of the aisle, support the twice, duly-elected President of the United States? As far as I’m concerned, those that do show up to hear Netanhayu are damn cowards!
glenn
7 days ago
glenn – It was shot live while Snowden was first releasing the info, holed up in a hotel in Hong Kong. You see the whole thing unfold and it is very enlightening and fascinating. I haven’t seen the whole doc yet but from what I have seen, those who portrayed Snowden as a publicity seeker and egotist sure look to be very wrong.
adlib7 days ago

Yes, CL. Hope Lynch takes this one on.

It is way past time for AIPAC to be registered as a foreign lobby and to curtail all monetary and military aid to that theocratic country/race/religion called Israel. That money could be much better spent on our own people and infrastructure here in whats left of merika. Israel is a bigoted, offensive, apartheid country and should no longer receive anything from the US except our contempt and condemnation. At least they are only targeting, killing and stealing from heathen Muslims, right? Israeli Prime Minister Bobo Naziyahu is just another war criminal and Israel sucks just like the baggers here in merika.
Harleigh

Snowden, Manning and Greenwald are heroes.
Harleigh

CL – A very different view of Snowden than we have heard. It’s very interesting. I don’t know that Poitras could make him look one way or another since this isn’t an interview per se, it’s documenting the actual events and what Snowden was actually saying and doing. I’d just offer that if you saw it, what really happened, it may give you a different perspective.
adlib7 days ago
Sabreen – REALLY like Smartypants. She finds amazing backing for her assertions.

AdLib – that is ALL I’ve heard about Snowden the Noble. Nothing he has revealed has said anything more than – we collect metadata that ties to you less than the phone book. He supported Bush’s surveillance of which i was a victim with four years of hell fromthe FBI. Bush’s folks hacked a private email, I was called by someone pretending to be a reporter who was NOT, and I refused to provide names and addresses of the people talking in the email. For years I was hounded. NOW? Crickets. Nothing. So what he revealed was worthless and took no account of his and GG’s support for what happened to ME.

Snowden broke his employer contract in order to disclose information we already suspected and then fled the country to avoid arrest. I don’t view him as a hero or a nefarious criminal. I don’t mind he did it and I don’t care if he ever gets prosecuted.
funksands

Really,republicans are not FIT to govern,fiasco after fiasco! LOL
Beatlex

CL – Again, just suggesting that seeing the film and what really happened could give you a different view of him. I’ve only seen a portion of it (it was half over when Vox started) but his demeanor and views are very interesting and not as represented.
adlib7 days ago
If this country is so awful, how did GG and Poitras accept the Oscar without any arrests or oppression at ALL.
choicelady
7 days ago
Funk–that is what I find disturbing about Snowden–that he fled the country. I still haven’t made up my mind about him other than he is a flawed human being.

Although, when you read about “black sites” here, I can see why people flee rather than take their chances with our “justice” system.
kesmarn

AdLib – I’ve SEEN interviews with Snowden. I remain unimpressed. Is he scared? Who the fuck cares? He is an opportunist and looking for fame over NOTHING. What he revealed has resulted in NO smoking guns and clear info that we are NOT being listened to.

If I had info of gov’t wrongdoing I would flee before telling also. This is not an honorable country. We go after whistleblowers not wall streeters.

Funk–I might agree about snowden being concerned about the “severity” of his arrest, but if he had cameras following him around, as the documentary shows, according to Ad, then he had some “protection”. And, why did he sell his information?
glenn

LMAO that would be way to much whackdoodle.
Harleigh

That he sold info to China and Russia. They certainly may have seized his computers which is bad enough.
funksands

Harleigh – indeed, but I did see my first “Carson for president’ sticker last week. Gag.
choicelady

funk – where is he getting his money? Snowden is living well. HOW?
choicelady

Harleigh–What’s not to like about Carson? He wants to abolish the IRS, so that’s a good thing, right?

Did you see that one GOP Rep, who asked why women couldn’t get gynocological exams by “swallowing a little camera”? If this man has children, I wonder who their father is.
kesmarn

funk – the problem Snowden and GG have is that they want to be martyrs without consquences. So GG shows up in Hollywood – and nobody gives a damn. Must have frosted his cookies.

Hey Kes–is there a camera that could check out our boobs while it’s at it? Then we could avoid mammograms, too!

Kes, did you see the OTHER Idaho rep that asks “What’s wrong with people who believe in faith healing letting their children die?”

Right, CL. His next prostate exam might be the time to start.

I saw that, glenn!

Latest News from Australia. New threat from Killer Koala car thieves.

Harleigh

CL–this is the retired sheriff who’s head of the constitutional sheriff’s association, or some such nonsense. Maybe it’s the Oath Keepers, I don’t know. But he was totally against Obamacare, as you have guessed. Who else wouldn’t have insurance?
glenn

only one small problem, Kes. Koalas have no bladder control whatever, so they constantly pee.

One commenter on the sheriff’s plea for $$ said: “In lieu of a contribution, I’m going to send you a pair of bootstraps so you can pull yourself up. Just send me the money for shipping and handling.” Ouch!

AdLib – I just cannot trust what Poitras – who helped him on this mission – would show about him. She is capable of making him look vulnerable no matter what. So WHAT if he’s scared? He took that job to do what he is doing when he SUPPORTED MY SUVEILLANCE by Bush. How can I think he’s a good guy?

Harleigh

glenn, some of the comments were ornery. One person asked his son (who’d set up the page) why HE wasn’t taking care of his dad’s bills. Zzzzzinnng. Just what they used to say during the ACA debate.

AdLib – why did he ‘change his views’ when everything he insisted be there WAS there in warrants etc. and when a Black man he detests is in office. Snowden and GG are libertarians, so this is pretty damend convenient. I think he expected to get to South America – his fear is that he can’t. Now he’s stuck. I dont’ think there’s a principled bone in his body.
