Re your comment on Plame:

“Touchingly naive”?

Careful, pal, there are some very hostile people in this neighborhood who will consider that heresy and will accuse you of being paid by KKKarl Rove or someone to write such treachery.

/s/ One who knows

The DeVos’s,the Van Andel’s and the Prince’s are the elect. Eric went a bit off the rails perhaps. It will be interesting to see what how the third generations turn out. It’s pretty rare for third generation money not to exhibit dissipation and decay. Then again the Calvinism is pretty pure among this set and if they can keep the kids home, away from Malibu and the Hamptons, Harvard and Yale, they might keep the dynasties going. If not growing at least respectable.

As for gushing about Palme’s work, that work was a waste too. For every non proliferation person there are dozens of pro proliferation people beavering away. To imagine she wasn’t known to everyone in the world whose business is to know such things is touchingly naive. Her exposure was a technical matter having to do with the law. Obviously the law doesn’t really apply in these matters.

They bought it, they own it, they’re going to do with it whatever their ugly black corporatist hearts desire.

If you look at their donations to the local party apparatus and the RNC, you’ll see they peg the amount they can donate. If my local party received that much moola, you can bet it would cause our folks to do backflips. The blase non-reaction from the local apparatus after receiving such sizable donations is a dog not barking.

and this from Democracy Now this a.m. with Jeremy Scahill (Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army) http://www.democracynow.org/20…..kwater_was

Interesting.
