PHILADELPHIA, PA - AUGUST 14: Police tape is stretched across a street near a residence during a shooting on August 14, 2019 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At least six police officers were reportedly wounded in an hours-long standoff with a gunman that prompted a massive law enforcement response in the city's Nicetown-Tioga neighborhood.

Posting from my mobile so apologies for the garbage format.

Update:

This is not your normal armed group. They identify as Rise of the Moors on YouTube.

Dear friends:
Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I write this letter to bring me comfort and let you know I'm thinking of you. As you've seen I've been relentlessly attacked in public but overall I'm doing surprisingly well. The care that I need I cannot provide myself, and with the help of a few friends like you I might just make it.

Don't let them kill me.

Humorists have the innate ability to seemingly get predictions right by imagining the worst possible things and mocking the impossibility these horrors come to pass. Political prognosticators are rarely correct and often skew their predictions based upon their biases.

What if they were right? I don't mean "horseshoes and handgrenades" close, but dead-on right? Like, for example, Markos, Dec. 2006:

Standard caveats aside (it's early, we don't have a set field, blah blah blah), it's hard to see how Barack Obama loses the nomination barring scandal or the mother-of-all gaffes.

Big thanks to y'all who can update us office folks on the action. This is the continuation of Cedwyn's live blog mothership, found here. PLEASE REC THE MOTHERSHIP TO KEEP IT UP. Then head to the Nomination III: Return of the Senators diary.

Confirmation of who? Holder for AG.

Can't watch on the tele? Try checking out the action online @ CSpan.

You want to know more about how they make the sausage you're watching them serve? Check Congress Mattersfor more. Step on in and see the magic of online cloning - you are you there, just as you are you here. Just one you in two different places... ponderous man, real ponderous.

Remember, NO PICTURES!

In a diary about the Wisconsin delegate being removed after she said she'd support McCain since Clinton lost, route66 also highlighted in a comment another delegate squabble with a Clinton supporter spilling over in Florida.

When reading the comments in the originating Miami Herald article, I noticed a very clear pattern within the anti-Obama sentiments: NObama.

Stick with it just a bit more...

Anyone remember this from in December, 2006?
Anyone?

It was a throw-away comment in a rather wild frontpage story.

Check it out...

I need the help of all you Kossacks, since I doubt I can do this on my own.

I am seeking 1 hour of gainful employment.
One single hour.

It's not that I'm unemployed.
Or unemployable.
I work at least 40 hours at my day job and put in another 12 or so on my side projects. But all I'm needing is just 1 more hour of employment.

So can you help a Kossack with another hour of work?
People who know people - make some calls for a friend, eh?
All I need is 1 hour...

....and pocket a cool $3,148,528.

Just one hour collecting the profits from one oil company, please.

The perky automated voice told me the call was for a survey whose results would be on the TV - as if knowing you answered the questions they're showing would change someone's mind to do the survey. Myself, I enjoy seeing what pulse of the country they are trying to gather, with everything going on...

The Plame case being tossed?
The Presidon't commuting Scooter?
Senator Vitter in a diaper?
The all-night Senate session?
Osama's latest demo tape?

Guess the real questions from the fakes on the flip.

No time for cute words - they're closing now and over the next few hours.
Go.

Look.

Bid.

My eBay adventures began nearly seven years ago, when one day I wanted to relive my childhood & bought myself an Atari 2600. With that single act, I unleashed a monster from deep within me that now runs feral with my bank account numbers.

It feeds on my primitive desire to win. (c'mon man, just bid higher)
It rewards me with random surprise packages from the Man in Blue when I return from work. (much love to our civil service workers!)

I buy stuff.
Then I sell that same stuff.
I just can't stop, and today I found something that made it worse.
Much worse.

You'll probably have an eBay problem too - you just didn't know it yet.

The future is here.
Did you notice?

This wasn't what I was told the future would be. No meal in pill form. No autoshower machines. No self-driving hovercars. Not even a damned jetpack. Is that so much to ask? A simple jetpack?

I leave 2006 with a tired heart, and I'm sure the rest will catch up soon. At least I hope so. I plan on joining my wife for a nice nights sleep once I know what I face with 2007.

And here it is. I'll try to describe it to those not quite there, so you know what it feels like.

Here's a hint: it ain't too bad so far.

I'll spare the obvious news recap and get right to the point - while everyone knows The Picture, or at least should - few people know what Saddam said between that picture & Bush War I.

Now, a foreword from Saddam Hussein, 1990:

It is natural to say that the U.S. is not like Britain, for example, with the latter's historic relations with Middle Eastern countries, including Iraq. In addition, there were no relations between Iraq and the U.S. between 1967 and 1984. One can conclude it would be difficult for the U.S. to have a full understanding of many matters in Iraq. When relations were re-established we hoped for a better understanding and for better cooperation because we too do not understand the background of many American decisions.

Ignorance is not strength, but that lesson will wait another decade-and-a-half to prove itself.
