   Would the story have legs if the injured were not an ex-marine?

   Would it have legs if the ex-marine were not an antiwar protestor who commuted from Occupy San Fran to Occupy Oakland just to get involved in in the staged confrontation.

   When will we find out that Scott Olsen never served overseas?

   Protests may be shrouded in earnestness, but often it is just about the sex.

   Interesting that the two most active occupation zones are in the political purview of two progressive socialists turned Democrat politicians. Margaret Chin NY council-member for the area including the OWS site who came up from the Communist Workers Party which has a colorful history and Oakland Mayor Jean Quan.

    So, I was subjected to some CNN today, and an Owwie was quoted thusly regarding the impending snow” “I question the timing.”

    All I could think was that if you’re going to ask that question, do so while looking up.

    Then I was told that they have a couple of Alaskan activists coming to train them on camping in the cold, therefore they’d be all set. Are they going to teach them how to build a fire or an ice cave in Lower Manhattan?

    ramos & campean part 2. where’s ricky perry?

    The vice president of the union that represents all 17,000 nonsupervisory U.S. Border Patrol agents said Thursday that federal prosecutors spent “thousands of man-hours and millions of tax dollars” to win a two-year prison sentence for an agent accused of using excessive force on a drug-smuggling suspect.

    Shawn P. Moran, himself a veteran Border Patrol agent, said the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) disagreed with the “exorbitant waste of time and resources” devoted to the prosecution of Agent Jesus E. Diaz Jr., sentenced last week in U.S. District Court in Texas to 24 months in prison for depriving a 15-year-old suspect of his constitutional rights under color of law.

    Mr. Moran said the case against Diaz “continues the tradition of bias against Border Patrol agents in the Western District of Texas,” where the U.S. attorney’s office also prosecuted Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean in 2006 after they shot a drug-smuggling suspect, Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, in the buttocks as he tried to flee back to Mexico after abandoning a van filled with 800 pounds of marijuana.

    Ramos and Compean, who claimed they were acting in self-defense, were convicted and sentenced to 11 and 12 years in prison, respectively. President George W. Bush commuted the sentences in 2009 after they had served two years.

    “While the U.S. attorney’s office in the Western District of Texas has a job to do, one that includes prosecuting Border Patrol agents who commit crimes, it has shown a distinctly quick trigger finger in going after Border Patrol agents,” Mr. Moran said.

    “That same quickness would be better served in prosecuting the criminals who routinely assault Border Patrol agents and violate the immigration and drug laws of the United States,” he said, adding that “thousands of man-hours and millions of tax dollars were spent to obtain a 24-month sentence for someone who had already spent eight months in custody.”

    Diaz was named in a November 2009 federal grand jury indictment with deprivation of rights under color of law during an October 2008 arrest near the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas, where agents had responded to a report that illegal immigrants had crossed the river with bundles of drugs. He was convicted on one count of excessive force and five counts of perjury.

    The prosecution had been sought by the Mexican government, with the Mexican consulate in Eagle Pass sending a formal written complaint just hours after the arrest, alleging that the teenager had been beaten.

    such a sad tale

    As high winds, low-30 temperatures, and sheets of snow ripped through downtown Manhattan, Occupy Wall Street was under siege on Saturday, this time from Mother Nature. Zuccotti Park was transformed into a tent city, with just over a hundred protestors huddled against only the fourth October snowstorm to hit New York in 135 years.

    Other than the roaring wind, the park was quiet: no chants, no drum circles. The day’s outdoor activities were canceled and the wall of sign wavers on Wall Street has been replaced by a single, stalwart placard: “Hell Snow, We Won’t Go!” Tents are explicitly forgiven by Brookfield Properties, which owns the park — but that hasn’t stopped the protestors. “People are doing what they can, they’re going to bring in tents,” said Robert Silva, a 37-year-old recording engineer from Brooklyn. “This is snow, it’s not going to kill us. What they’re doing to us will kill us. What they’re doing to our world.”

    Adam, a 20-year-old occupier from New York, told me that the park’s stone pathways were filling up with icy water. “It seeps in through the bottom of the tents,” he said. “We don’t know how much longer this is going to last.” The crush of belongings and bodies has strained the park’s drainage system. As tents heave under snowfall and water trickles down from the street, the park is turning into a colorful, ice-cold fishbowl.

    newrouter, are you aware of the difference between Federal and State governments? Because Rick Perry is a State official, and thus has no influence over Federal law.

    yea ricky perry has no influence on fed gov’t appointments after serving 12 years as gov.. ok. and the rest of the texas folks(bush,hutchison,delay et al)? ricky perry sux and the peeps pushing this crony capitalist loser are obamalite wannabees.

    Ludlum began her Federal Judicial Career as a United States magistrate judge as She was appointed to a four year part-time term in 1997 until the year 2000 in which she was promoted to a full-term magistrate judge until she was promoted in the ranks to the Federal Bench in 2002.

    On the recommendation of Texas Senators Phil Gramm and Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Ludlum was nominated to the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas by President George W. Bush on July 11, 2002 to a seat vacated Harry Hudspeth as Hudspeth reached senior status. Ludlum was confirmed by the Senate on November 14, 2002 on a Senate vote and received her commission the next day.

    Denver.

    A Democrat congressman came in to try and control the mob and offer words of encouragement.

    During the mid-afternoon stalemate, U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter waded into the crowd alone but for a bullhorn, urging protesters to remain as peaceful as they had been during his previous visit. A few in the crowd drowned his words, shouting that it was the cops in assault gear who needed to tone it down, not them.

    “Obviously you’re making an impression,” said Perlmutter, the Seventh District Democrat. “You’ve got to de-escalate this thing.”

    “We want jobs!” a man shouted back. “Democrats won’t get elected anymore!”

    We can only hope.

    Now that’s the kind of change I can believe in.

    newrouter, dude? Are you bellowing at SDN about Perry? And if that was your intention, do you think SDN deserves that sort of treatment? Or anybody else who happens to like Perry, as for instance, many of the people to whom Perry stands as Governor? Don’t you think hollering falsehoods at them might put them off your own preferred candidate before the issue is settled? And what about what comes after the issue is settled? Think ahead a little, why not: maybe ease back a bit on the rhetorical shotgun blasts.

    Why does Bob Schieffer insist on giving his audience the sole choice of deciding the question whether Bob is either a simpleton who doesn’t understand the first thing about how the price of goods comes to be or is a mendacious ass who is happy to paint the price of goods in a false light in order to accomplish a Democrat Party objective? Can’t he do better by himself than that? Not to say that he has to, but still. . .

    . . . well, at least he doesn’t smoke any longer (while I do). Smart guy, ol’ cancer ridden Bob, King of the Moral Merry-Go-Round.

    quitting smoking is easy you just need wellbutrin and chantix and a willingness to gain 40-50 pounds

    What Mr Schieffer doesn’t get is what does letting Marc be Marc, Herman be Herman, or people be people have to do with the price of hogs in Nebraska, let alone with the decision to smoke or not?

    I tried quitting with the Wellbutrin and it temporarily turned me into a crazy person. Like, waking up in the middle of the night and stacking furniture against the front door because you thought someone was trying to break in crazy. No thanks.

    Wellbutrin made me feel like punching people, Abe. Seriously. Standing too close in an elevator? Taking too long to order in a lunch line? Talking to me in the morning? All terrible, terrible provocations.

    I stopped taking it pretty quickly.

    Mystery solved. What is in the Democratic/OWS water? Wellbutrin.

    I smoked from age 16 till 47. Quit cold turkey. Kept my last half-full pack in my night stand for years to make sure I could avoid temptation. Haven’t looked back but still on occasion do miss it.
