Glenn Greenwald slams into various wingnut outlets reporting on Larry Craig, now (pleaded guilty) and back in October 2006 (when Craig was outed by a private individual).

seti: Warning: Salon.com link, probably more readable right now via Glenn Greenwald's index page.
seti: One wonders, Don't those people know of Google's existence?
coderman: the sophistry, deceit, and contempt displayed by the wingers in this tale of epic hypocrisy is disturbing to the point of numbness. let's play checkers!
Ash: SEN. CRAIG: The American people already know that Bill Clinton is a bad boy, a naughty boy.
coderman: P is for Pedant!

The sub prime meltdown continues? or TERRORISM AWAITS?!?

coderman: nothing like some juicy sensationalism to get the presses humming...
coderman: "A mystery trader risks losing around $1 billion dollars after placing 245,000 put options on the Dow Jones Eurostoxx 50 index, leading many analysts to speculate that a stock market crash preceded by a new 9/11 style catastrophe could take place within the next month."
coderman: "The anonymous trader only stands to make money if the market crashes by a third to a half before September 21st, which is when the put options expire."
est: http://www.financialnews-us.com/?page=ushome&contentid=2448565379
est: "I think I shall remember this day as the day that I saw the market go to hell, look into the abyss - didn't like what it looked like and then came screaming back up as far away from there as it could get. ... It was a truly spooky day and I've seen a lot over the last 20 years but today will be one that anyone who saw it will never forget. But this is what market bottoms are made out of."
seti: No he doesn't risk that. The risks are more or less transaction costs.

Mutiny-: we honestly can't find something more fucking useful to bring up there? like some kind of friggin scientific payload? what a bunch of horse shit.
Mutiny-: no wonder NASA is fucking bankrupt and doesn't do anything useful any more when they take on stupid shit like this. flying up a piece of junk prop from a movie about space magic with a ripped off plot just to bring it back down again.
Mutiny-: How about this, astronauts... Chuck that piece of junk out the airlock and radio down "suck it, lucas, star trek for lyfe!"
seti: We're honouring franchises now? That's pretty pathetic indeed.
