ThinkFast: April 13, 2006


Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says that refusing to recuse himself from a case involving his hunting buddy Dick Cheney was the “proudest thing I have done on the bench,” and told his critics to “get a life.”

54 percent of the American public do not trust President Bush to “make the right decision about whether we should go to war with Iran,” according to a new LA Times/Bloomberg poll.

Field & Stream magazine op-ed says Bush policies are bad for hunters and anglers. “With deep ties to the oil and gas industry, Bush and Cheney have unleashed a national energy plan that has begun to destroy hunting and fishing on millions of federal acres throughout the West, setting back effective wildlife management for decades to come.”

The latest escalation in the pharmacy wars: Pharmacists are refusing to fill prescriptions for vitamins and antibiotics simply because they come from a women’s health clinic that performs abortions.

In Nov. 2005, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice promoted the concept of Provisional Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) to rebuild local and provisional governments in Iraq. Sixteen PRTs were to be formed by summer 2006, but so far only 12 applicants have been received for 35 positions. Of those 12 people, only one is considered qualified.

$250 Billion: The amount the federal government spent in March, setting an “all-time high for a single month.” The deficit for the month was $85.5 billion, “a record imbalance for March.”

Former FEMA chief Michael Brown said yesterday that “he will not serve as a paid consultant to St. Bernard Parish, a New Orleans suburb hit hard by Hurricane Katrina.”

Staff Sgt. Daniel Brown, a Marine reservist coming home after serving more than eight months in Iraq, “couldn’t board a plane to Minneapolis because his name appeared on a watch list as a possible terrorist.” “A guy goes over and serves his country fighting for eight or nine months, and then we come home and put up with this?” he asked.

37: The percentage of Americans who believe President Bush when he says “we’re making progress” in Iraq, according to a new Bloomberg poll.

And finally, a Utah school did a heckuva job booking a celebrity speaker. The DaVinci Academy thought they had booked “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart to appear at their annual gala. They actually invited Jon A. Stewart, a “former motivational speaker” and “part-time professional wrestler from Chicago.” One school official “hopes people still will attend the event, but notices will be sent to patrons about the change.”

What did we miss? Let us know in the comments section.

    Daniel Brown

    Sounds like a pretty common name, I would assume theres roughly 10+ of them stopped a day for being on a no fly list.

    And why is there a swedish pharmacy in/around seattle?

    Finally, Dem doing something wrong, so for the past several months thats Dems:2 Repubs:15ish? for MSM reported wrong doing that I noticed


  3. trueblue says:

    Pharmacists refusing to dispense VITAMINS because of where they come from?
    Is this 2006 or 1906? WTF?

    Re: no fly list – is there any way to make sure one’s name is NOT on the list before you try to get on a plane?

  6. Hardy Haberman says:

    Hopefully the Field & Stream article will alert the NRA that Bush and his cronies are not their allies, they have just been used like the Fundamentalists have. Bush’s only friend is the dollar and those with lots of them.


  7. Punchy says:

    Scalia seems more and more unhinged. Are SC justices supposed to say sh#t like that? Are they supposed to be buddies with the executive branch and adversarial with the media?

    I have a feeling that Scalia is about as un-unbiased as any judge in history.


  8. Jules says:

    What scares me is the 46% that trust this asshole to go to war with Iran. He has made a mess out of Iraq, who could possibly think anything good could come out of a war with Iran?


  9. Marie says:

    Sounds like the Barney Fifes of the country have traded in their badges for pharmacy licenses — next, they will be making citizens’ arrests.


  10. Sharon Cox says:

    Good Morning all……Scalia is another person who thinks being a judge means playing god. Never mind justice. There is no justice only points of law and that is changed by the person dispensing the law.

    The NRA and all of us hunters and fisher persons may not have to worry at all about hunting and fishing if this bunch of nut jobs like Bush and Pombo have their way there won’t be any lands or streams left . They plan to sell off all the parks, wilderness and roadless areas they can…If a person want’s to teach their kids to hunt and fish they will have to pay for parking and go to an owned canned hunt and fishing pond…..Impeach all before they bomb another country and jail all of us…..Blessings, we need them

    Sorry Squeegie, I couldn’t resist ;)


  12. Marie says:

    Scalia personifies the dignity and intellect one expects from the Suprreme Court.
    Scalia = a class act. (perhaps that should read ass hat).


  13. Marie says:

    That same Bloomberg poll that stated 54% don’t think Bush will make the right decision in Iran also reported that 40% think bombing Iran is OK.


  14. Sharon Cox says:

    Who do these pollsters call.? Has any one here ever been called and asked a political question.? I never have. Do they just pick select areas and recall the same ones from time to time.? Wish they would call me, I would give the caller an ear full to think on. First off ,NO MORE BUSH WARS. BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW…….Blessings


  15. squegeeboo says:

    #11 “Meet #2

    Sorry Squeegie, I couldn’t resist ;) ”

    If you could only see me shaking my fist in impotent rage at the screen right now. But don’t worry, you’ll get yours. So start rueing.

    The question isnt the good that would come out of it, but the bad that won’t due to it, such as a nuclear strike by Iran against Israel.


  16. Daniel DiRito says:

    If Scalia wants to stake his legacy on failing to recuse himself when it seemed the reasonable thing to do…I say let him have it. When history ultimately tells his story, his heirs may not be quite so proud. One would think he could at least attempt to demonstrate some of the traditional decorum expected of a Supreme Court Justice…after all he is a strict constructionist, right?

  17. And You Thought REAGAN Was Stupid says:

    $250 billion in ONE month?! It’s amazing how quickly conservatives can spend cash when it’s not their own and when a big chunk of it is going to their friends and companies in which they’re invested. Of course, I think $1.5 million for President Bush’ remedial reading books is a little excessive. “Is our presidents learning?”


  18. Daniel DiRito says:

    Hey, if Scalia wants this to be his legacy…let him have it! If he thinks not recusing himself whe it would have been reasonable is part of a good legacy, I’m betting that when historians write about him, his heirs won’t be quite as proud. One would think he could, at a minimum, demonstrate some of the long established decorum typical for a Supreme Court Justice. After all, he bills himself as a strict constructionist.

  19. Jules says:

    We should bomb Iran because they may, sometime in the future, perhaps, bomb Israel?

    Yeah – I understand that logic – just like we should invade Iraq because they may, someday, attack the US.

    Are we going to invade North Korea because they may someday attack South Korea? Or China because they may someday attack Taiwan?

    Idiocy at its finest!!


  20. Lollerskates says:

    And why is there a swedish pharmacy in/around seattle?

    Comment by squegeeboo

    Swedish (Medical Center) is a large hospital in Seattle, named because there’s a huge Norwegian and Swedish population here. At least before the Californians flooded us =\


  21. bushllit says:

    wow…this is a cookey ThinkFast this morning
    soliders on terrorists lists
    hunters and outdoorsmen turning on Bush
    250b spent in a month (with congress only working a few hours that month!)
    M Brown turning his back on helping NOLA (again)
    Pharmacists refusing vitamins

    up is officially down

    the lower the president is sinking in the polls, the less it matters, and the more he ’sticks to his convictions’ (and sticks it to his constituents)


  22. Democrat Soldier says:

    #15 – I agree in that doing nothing will do exactly that in averting a possible war: nothing.

    The question is what is the best course?

    I recall hearing that a country had WMD’s and was building WMD’s and had the capability to build WMD’s and wanted to build WMD’s and tried to build WMD’s. We HAD to go to war or else the next thing we saw would be a mushroom cloud.

    We went to war, and found no WMD’s and no WMD’s being built and no capability for WMD’s. We also found out that the intelligence said “no capability to build WMD’s, no attempt to buy materials for WMD’s.”

    We now have ourselves a “nation building” exercise that isn’t quite as rosy as the supporters have claimed. (To be fair, it’s also not quite as gloomy as the critics claim either.) We have a MAJOR commitment of our over-extended forces in a foreign country. We have falling recruitment, and more officers leaving than we can afford over the long run. We’re also hemorrhaging money to support our occupation like a sieve, and no attempt at oversight being undertaken by our “benevolent” leaders in Wash. DC.

    Now, we are faced with a country that recently was able to produce 3.5% Enriched Uranium in a laboratory setting. They made, what, a few grams of the stuff? The latest intelligence (the ones that were RIGHT about Iraq) saying the earliest they could possible create a single bomb would be 10 years from now. The person making the claims about “16 days” works for the person responsible for Pres. Bush saying the trailers in Iraq were Biological labs. In other words, BAD INTELLIGENCE.

    Do we want to rush to war over BAD INTELLIGENCE a SECOND TIME? Why don’t we wait 10 months to make that decision? We might find out more information about Iran’s desire to enrich uranium might be less by that time, and easily addressable in the diplomatic realm. We also might find out that they’re ramping up their enrichment program and possibly have gotten from 3.5% enrichment to, what, 5% enrichment?

    Why the rush to go to war when the earliest that ONE SINGLE BOMB could be produced is at least 10 years away?


  23. progressive and proud says:

    Thanks, Judd. But no big deal really. A little tinkering and it should be fine. Maybe this could be a good thing, I see the trolls below but not above. No pun intended.:-)


  24. squegeeboo says:

    #6 – Naw, we don’t make enough money and have too high ethics to be Republicans. ;-)


  26. kindness says:

    No reason to tell us you’re a little paranoid squeege. Just cause you think they’re watching you doesn’t mean they aren’t. I’m speaking specifically of bushco & their fantastic collection of fascists. Now you think we’re going after your posts….C’mon now. You are one of the conservatives here who actuall talks. We may not like what you say, but at least we get a discussion from you. Most of the conservatives here do little more than throw their own feces. And these are the same folks who deny evolution. Funny how they act like chimps…..


  27. Jay Randal says:

    Bush is intellectually challenged, meaning stupid, so he has NO idea about international problems! Before he was appointed president, by the Supreme Court, he had only visited Mexico! Hitler was an idiot too > before he gained power in Germany, he had only been to France! Anyone who has not traveled overseas should not even be considered for leadership of a nation > PERIOD.

  34. Wisco says:

    #12. This has nothing to do with ‘moral objections’ – the abortion has already happened. I doubt any ER doctors support heroin use, but they still treat ODs.

    This is about punishing women for having abortion – it’s probably the reason they took the job.

    Jay – and to think he got appoint two more Supreme Court Justices!!!

    Your Hitler comparison exposes you as a left-wing hatemonger. Take a look inside, my friend. It is Democrats and liberals who seek to create an aryian race – one which unwanted, poor, black babies are aborted, rather than giving life. Also, you have it in for folks like Terri Schiavo.

    But that’s neither here nor there. Bush will appoint two more justices in the mold of Scalia just to piss you off. AND you so deserve it!


  37. kindness says:

    Yea – that’s what we need….more discreet South Park references.

    Let us all bow our heads for a moment of silence for Chef…..


  38. Zookeeper says:

    #15 – Here’s a quote from the article:
    According to the complaint, someone at the Swedish pharmacy said she was “morally unable” to fill a Cedar River patient’s prescription for abortion-related antibiotics.

    Cedar River Clinics is a women’s health and abortion provider in Renton, WA. Sounds like “moral objections” to me. Another pharmacy refused to fill a prescription for pregnancy-related vitamins because it came from Cedar River. I guess it was assumed that abortion would be the only reason to go to this provider. I stand by my comment in #12.


  39. squegeeboo says:

    “The deficit for the month was $85.5 billion, “a record imbalance for March.””

    So theres been bigger imbalances in other months?


  40. Jay Randal says:

    Lol post 21 are you being goofy or insane? Your screenname is Bush Hitler?!

    Very strange that you would want Bush to control the Supreme Court, thus becoming a complete dictator like Hitler, so you are a right-wing fascist hatemonger!


  41. frank says:

    Pharmacists who won’t fill prescriptions should have their licenses revoked. They are part of this theocracy that is so opposed not just to abortion but to all contraception. They want women to get pregnant every time they have sex. Then they will have to stay home, take care of the kids, and cook a good dinner for their man. The new book “The Department of Homeland Decency: Decency Rules and Regulations Manual” satirizes this. The department’s slogan: Marching proudly backwards to the future. That’s the direction they want us to go. Read more at http://www.homelanddecency.com.


  42. Bush Hitler says:

    #22 – yes, and you people going ballistic because are losing the Supeme Court makes you a bunch of left-wing fascist hatemongers!

  51. Democrat Soldier says:

    #24 – So you’ll attack back for the witch hunt against Pres. Bush’s leaking classified information, which was an attack back for the witch hunt against Pres. Clinton having sex, which was an attack back for Pres. Nixon resigning before he could be impeached for high crimes & misdemeanors.

    You’re one sad little person. You hatemongering is way to blatant, and your inability to rationally follow arguments is your Achilles’ heel. Your party’s attempts to destroy the Constitution will be rebuffed, and your hope that Pres. Bush will be able to stack the Supreme Court is a pipe dream.

    Hey, why don’t you hold your breath until that happens?


  52. Bush Hitler says:

    #25 – Jay, but since you are the thought police, you can be called a fascist.

    Ted Kennedy’s disgusting performance at Alito’s hearing makes him the modern day version of Joe McCarthy. Smearing a man because he might be against Roe. It doesn’t get worse than that.

    Once the right-wing starts making movies to counter the left’s lies, you people are finished.

    #15 If we invade Iran, Isreal will be first on their list. You have to analyze their reasons for goading us. If a war is what they want, why give it to them?

    A major problem is that we don’t have competent leadership. Not even considering WHY we got into Iraq, we didn’t do a very good job. Saddam is gone, but there are no fruits of our labor. No matter what you think of our pres., you can’t possibly say they did well.

    Like the way Bush ran his companies, he is doing just as poorly as a commander in chief. He in no way belongs in this position, no matter how much you like him or agree with his intent. You can agree with the intent but can’t justify the means of getting there. It was poor planning because he didn’t listen to the right people. That is why Powell left and who wouldn’t take his words seriously? Who? That’s crazy, he was one of their best attributes and his support is a major factor in his then popularity. It cannot be denied that he was a great loss.

    That is why whatever needs to be done with or to Iran, should not be done by PROVEN failed policy. Would you really really want these guys making more inept decisions?


  55. progressive and proud says:

    #28 Do you ever wonder how we can always tell it’s you, NeD?


  56. Jules says:

    So…we bomb Iran so they won’t someday, sometime, possibly, maybe, at some future date bomb Israel. Kind of like how we invaded Iraq so someday future they would not invade us. Yeah, we see how well that turned out.

    With that line of logic, we should bomb N. Korea just in case someday they might invade/bomb S. Korea. Or how about China just in case they MAY have thoughts of invading Taiwan. Or how about Mexico—you never know, they may want Texas back.


  57. progressive and proud says:

    #28 I don’t know if NeD is changing his name to hide and is really really bad at it or he is schizo. Either way, the few words he knows are used in nearly every post. Disgusting is one of his favorites. He is so upset, he can’t stop. At least he’s not raping young girls/boys and vents here. A public service is you ask me.


  58. Jane E. Schneider says:

    Re: Michael Brown thread: While I can understand that parish leaders might not want Michael Brown as a consultant (even though his reputation has improved lately), what frightens me about this minor piece of news is the following from the article:

    Some parish leaders had denounced the possible hiring.
    “It smells to high heaven. I’m a Christian and the Apostle Paul says, `To prove all things, keep the work good and abstain from the very appearance of evil.’ This does appear evil, don’t it? So we should abstain from hiring him,” Councilman Lynn Dean said.

    The Apostle Paul said that? “Evil”? This is how community leaders make decisions?

    check this out:
    “Tehran – Iran on Thursday rejected the demand by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to suspend uranium enrichment as ‘irrational’ but would officially reply within two weeks – before the IAEA reports to the United Nations Security Council on the Iran case.

    ‘Any demand should have a rational aspect and when the IAEA chief and the IAEA inspectors are here and their cameras installed in our sites for constant supervision, then this demand could principally be acceptable,’ Iranian chief nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani said in a joint press conference with IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei in Tehran. ”

    So we refuse to stop enriching uranium, , but once the IAEA puts in cameras to monitor enriching uranium, then maybe we will stop enriching uranium.

    This is what Europe has to try and work diplomacy with?


  68. Zookeeper says:

    This is what Europe has to try and work diplomacy with?

    Yes, Squeegy. If you are giong to negotiate or work diplomacy with anyone, you have to meet them where they are.

    The Iranians are tweaking us so we will go in there big-time stupid like we did in Iraq, and they will feel like they have the moral high ground.

    We have to be smarter that that, Squeegy! Just because something is going to be quite difficult doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it.

    Comment by Zookeeper

    The Iranians are counting on the continued weakness of the UN to do ANYTHING and counting on the Filthy Left in America to prevent the USA from acting unilateraly to stop their atomic weapons program. There is NO negociation as Iran is incapable of acting in good faith with a western power. That’s why we have to bitch slap them. Now you know.

    WOW you’re STUPID. The cameras are there to monitor what happens to the enriched uranium. In particular, does it all go into fission reactors, or does it disappear to a bomb workshop.

    The point is that Iran is saying they will consider complying with requirements that safeguard what they do with the enriched uranium, but that they refuse to stop making it.

    Frankly their response is more rational that your response to it. Then again, you’ve proven yourself to be an extremist whacko, who’s virtually braindead – so I’m not surprised.

    To SB,
    If you admire Reagan so much, I would think you might at least have learned to spell his family name correctly.
    Ps. “Your” is a possessive form; I think you mean here the contraction for “you are.” Please look up how to spell it.
