To summarize, it is rumored that Steele cut a deal with the Michigan GOP whereby they would raise half a mil for the RNC at the end of 2009 and then get the money back almost early in 2010. This would make Steele’s fundraising numbers look good while guaranteeing the Michigan GOP a pile of dough from donors who could thereby circumvent regulations limiting contributions to federal campaigns. » Posted By nottoolate On April 7, 2010 @ 12:38 pm Buenos dias all, especially Bito.

Note that Eric Brown, who’s taking the fall, is active in his church’s ministry. His firm is called Dynamic Marketing. Oh yeah, this is way, way dynamic. The person who expensed a nearly $2,000 meal on the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) dime at a risque Los Angeles club has been identified as Erik Brown. An RNC spokesperson confirms that Brown will reimburse the committee for the expenses. The committee says he wasn’t working for it in any capacity, which raises questions about how he had access to the account. Brown is a consultant at Dynamic Marketing, Inc., in Orange County, Calif. The firm also has a Washington, D.C. office. It’s website is currently under construction. SFGate.com: Since November, the RNC has paid Brown’s company, Dynamic Marketing Inc., about $19,000 for printing and direct-mail services, campaign spending reports show. He has contributed several thousand dollars to the party. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/29/california-republican-returning-rnc-money-after-racy-club-visit/?fbid=2S9ylQLaa0u » Posted By nottoolate On March 29, 2010 @ 4:46 pm The Obama Seder! Somehow I missed this until I read today’s NYTimes. BTW, I only scan the Times on Sundays, and was happily surprised today by the Opinion section. Maureen Down even put down her Queen of Snark septer long enough to write a great article on Il Papa and the need for a Nope (nun for Pope). But back to the subject matter, the article I quote below explains the Obama Seder, it’s origin and nature, and is beautifully written. Made me teary, it did. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/28/us/politics/28seder.html?src=me&ref=general “The first one took place at the bleakest point of the campaign, the long prelude to the Pennsylvania primary, which was dominated by a furor over Mr. Obama » Posted By nottoolate On March 28, 2010 @ 11:05 am No, I did not realize, but I am willing to be educated. » Posted By nottoolate On March 7, 2010 @ 7:56 pm You are very brave to have emailed them, and your message was compassionate and skillfully stated. Thank you. Yes, their website is frightening, what with the military images, sound of gunfire, Army of God recruitment delusion, and so forth. I joined the Facebook page of Amarillo Citizens Against Repent Amarillo and send them a message of encouragement. (They also have a website called repentamarillo.NET.) I got a reply: they’ve got a couple lawyers working pro bono for them. I asked if they could confirm that Pastor Grisham does indeed work as a security guard at Pantex. I’ll also call Pantex tomorrow and ask. I’d like the facts before I contact the Feds. ThinkProgress has an item about Repent Amarillo, and some posters point out the very remote odds that Grisham could access the nuclear materials there. Remote possibility not quite acceptable in my book. But then I wonder how many other Amarillo “whackaloons” as Pepe so colorfully calls them, work at Pantex.

Please excuse me, and redirect me if I should have put it somewhere else on the Planet. Pablo Neruda wrote a terrific poem called “I’m Explaining a Few Things.” He was a Chilean consul in Madrid when it was engulfed in the Spanish Civil War. He became intensely politicized for the first time, and remained a staunch Communist (gasp!) for the rest of his life. In this poem, after describing the richness and beauty of his home, he says, in part: And one morning all that was burning, Treacherous And you’ll ask: why doesn’t his poetry Come and see the blood in the streets. The dismissal of the botched case against the Blackwater murderers of 2007 brought this poem to mind. I put myself in the place of the innocent civilians in the Middle East upon whom our bombs fall and think “what a world of hurt.” So my vote for “news” that should be focused on this year goes to #14 on the Project Censored list, Congress Invested in Defense Contracts, especially BW/Xe.

On the fruit stand.
We eat the smile
And spit out the teeth.
Reports on Monday pointed to a Twitter page on which Brown mentioned attending a sporting event with RNC Chairman Michael Steele. The Twitter page appears to have been taken down.
A profile of Brown on another website describes him as Chief Executive Officer at DMI. He is actively involved in a number of conservative groups and his church’s ministry.
Brown’s firm has done direct mail and consulting work for GOP candidates in California including Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, now a candidate for Senate, and Steve Poizner, the state Insurance Commissioner now running for governor.
The Invisible worm,
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Of Crimson joy;
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
______________
one morning the bonfires
leapt out of the earth
devouring human beings —
and from then on fire,
gunpowder from then on,
and from then on blood.
Bandits with planes and Moors,
bandits with finger-rings and duchesses,
bandits with black friars spattering blessings
came through the sky to kill children
and the blood of children ran through the streets
without fuss, like children’s blood…
generals:
see my dead house,
look at broken Spain:
from every house burning metal flows
instead of flowers…
speak of dreams and leaves
and the great volcanoes of his native land?
Come and see
The blood in the streets.
Come and see the blood
In the streets!
