Paladino Calls Senator Gillibrand ‘Schumer’s Little Girl’

2010-10-31T11:25:00.000-07:00

(New York Times) -- "Mr. Paladino’s dismissive description of the only woman to hold statewide elected office in New York jolted the political world."

His comments came as Mr. Paladino was campaigning for Ms. Gillibrand’s Republican opponent, Joseph DioGuardi. “It’s time to get some real representation in the New York delegation,” Mr. Paladino said on Thursday, “and you know Joe’s going to do that.”

A spokesman for Ms. Gillibrand declined to comment.

Teh Mutant Peguinz!!

2010-03-12T18:13:00.000-08:00

Andrew Evans took this photo:

"He looked like a single black king moving across a chessboard of so many white pawns. Our first glimpse was puzzling until we drew closer and realized that this was not some other bird but indeed another penguin of a different color.

Our group from Lindblad Expeditions spotted this very unique bird at Fortuna Bay on the subantarctic island of South Georgia. Out of several thousand pairs of king penguins, this was the only individual that was entirely black although earlier in the morning I had spotted another that showed muted coloration. Recent science papers (PDF) show that the trait has been documented only a handful of times in South Georgia. Some fellow travelers recall seeing a melanistic penguin at St. Andrew's Bay, also on South Georgia.

Dr. Allan Baker, ornithologist and professor of Environmental and Evolutionary Studies at the University of Toronto and head of the Department of Natural History at the Royal Ontario Museum: "Wow. That looks so bizarre I can't even believe it. Wow."

"Well that is astonishing," he said. "I've never ever seen that before. It's a one in a zillion kind of mutation somewhere. The animal has lost control of its pigmentation patterns. Presumably it's some kind of mutation." He explained that typically, melanistic birds of all species will have white spots where melanin pigmentation has failed to color the feathers. But it's extremely rare for melanin deposits to occur where they're not normally located, as genes control those pathways (in this case, in the breast feathers of the king penguin). After looking through several texts, he ruled out the potential for it to be a hybrid and said that it's closer in coloring to the Little Blue penguin. "But look at the size of those legs," he added, "It's an absolute monster."

One Roll Call

2010-01-22T13:14:00.000-08:00

It's time for action - as Kevin Drum, Steven Benen and our good friends at Balloon Juice have been saying, it's time to get to work.

The only sensible option we have is for the House to pass the Senate version of the Health Care Reform bill and fix the flaws later through a separate reconciliation bill.

But we have to do our part - the House is full of feckless morons, most of whom are running about like chickens with their empty little haids cut off. Help them out - call them and tell them to PASS. THE. BILL.

One roll call and it's on Obama's desk.

Balloon Juice lays it out for you:

Phone your Representative. It feels better than yelling at pseudonyms on an internetblog.

Here is how you do it.

(1) Use a phone. Email has nigh on zero impact. Trust me on this. Letter mail gets read, but you don’t have time. Reach the House switchboard at (202) 224-3121 .

(2) Remember, this person works for you. You pay his or her salary and you voted for them. You’re the boss here, or at least one of them, and it’s they who should worry about what you think of them.

(3) Identify your name and the town or neighborhood where you live zip code. If you are not a constituent don’t bother. Since you guys never listen to me, at least google a zip code in the appropriate district before you call.

(4) State the issue. This is easy: pass the Senate bill or the party gets it. We can (and certainly will) fix the shortcomings later.

(5) How strongly do you feel? Don’t apologize about feeling passionate or pissed off. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

(6) What are you going to do about it? (Updated from earlier) This part is not that relevant when they’re getting a ton of calls. Every teabagger threatens the end of the world, so they get pretty jaded about it.

One last, important point. We want to track where Representatives are swinging on this and who is willing to commit. However your Rep’s intern responds about the Senate bill, please email me or post it in the comments. We are most interested to know who is voting yes, who will vote no, who will not commit and whether the abortion language is a problem with conservative Dems.

To borrow my favorite phrase from Aliens, let's "take off and nuke the GOP's 'kill the bill' strategy from orbit."

It's the only way to be sure.

John Hope Franklin, the revered historian who chronicled the struggles of black Americans and the country’s efforts to deal with race, died today in Durham, N.C. He was 94. Dr. Franklin died of congestive heart failure at Duke Hospital in Durham, said David Jarmul, a spokesman for Duke, where Mr. Franklin was the first black professor to hold an endowed chair.

Dr. Franklin, whose best-known book, “From Slavery to Freedom: A History of Negro Americans” (“African Americans” in its most recent printing) has gone through eight editions and is generally considered the leading text on the subject, had a sense of black history lived as well as written.

His father, one of the first black lawyers in Oklahoma, had argued before the Supreme Court, been an outspoken opponent of segregation, and had his office burned down by race rioters. Dr. Franklin carried on his father’s work, serving as an adviser to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, helping write the brief the NAACP submitted to the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 decision that ruled segregated schools unconstitutional.

the president’s Super Bowl party and a ride on Air Force One – and still voted no.

“The president learned a lesson,” one GOP aide quipped. “Fred’s going to ride on your plane, eat your M&Ms, but he ain’t going to vote for your bill.”

Lot's of chatter about whether holy Joe should keep his chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee.

Let me be clear about this to the Senate Dems.

You owe us.

We blockwalked, we phonebanked and we gave until it hurt this election cycle, not just to Obama, and not just to dem candidates in our own states, but to democratic candidates all over the country.

If you are anywhere near 60 seats, you have us to thank.

It's payback time.

Lieberman wasn't just insulting Barack Obama, he was insulting all of us. We've had enough. He sucked as a chair and I don't trust him. No one trusts him. If you want to keep him in the caucus and make him chair of a subcommittee to count paper clips, knock yourself out.

But don't insult the ground troops by rewarding the asshole who did everything he could to derail the movement we worked so hard for. Don't you dare. He has no leverage and nowhere to go.

HEAD ON PLATTER!! WANT!!!

kai, thx, bai

Update: I see that Bernie Sanders has got our back. As does Senator Leahy from Vermont. Sanders makes the case exactly:

"To reward Senator Lieberman with a major committee chairmanship would be a slap in the face of millions of Americans who worked tirelessly for Barack Obama and who want to see real change in our country," Sanders in the statement sent our way by his office.

"Appointing someone to a major post who led the opposition to everything we are fighting for is not 'change we can believe in,'" Sanders continued.

The Republican National Committee appears to have spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.

According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74. The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September.
