I would again direct your attention to the bizarre yet predictable recent comments from Coop’s buddy Hitchens, no investigation led by Democrats would be fair, that would be just too POLITICAL. Yet all the celebrated lush is repeating is SOP, the
special rules republicans get to play by, as they waterboard, pardon their crooks, and Impeach the opposing party for their private lives. During a great deal of this Marc Cooper is cheering the system on; and that, Reg old bean, is why you get to read Woody while I’ve been kicked off twice.

And why your seconding of some of the nastier baiting of Mrs.
Clinton last year should make you a little ashamed.

What do you think of the title of Marc’s post: “Obama Admin: A Cowardly Blackout on the Dark Side?” Does that make Marc a racist?

Do you have any reasonable point on the post’s topic?

I skipped over posts either from Woody or mentioning him, but you forced me to go back and look. “Ockham’s Razor”, from its author William of Ockham, is not a misspelling; see, for example, http://www.amazon.com/s/?keywords=ockham%27s+razor

(Of course, this is not an endorsement of Woody’s special safety razor that only cuts toward the left.)

Britannica Concise Encyclopedia: Ockham’s razor – Methodological principle of parsimony in scientific explanation. Traditionally attributed to William of Ockham, the principle prescribes that entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity. ….

I’m sorry, you show such ignorance in trying to correct me, that I can’t consider any of your other accusations.

So much for you imagination … or your knowledge. Even Keith Olbermann slammed Obama on this.

You just can’t imagine that Obama would take a cover-up action to protect his interestsdespite his claiming to set up a “transparent government.”

Saying this isn’t being a troll, but attacking personally me in response is.

What Obama promises:

From the White House

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: Transparency and Open Government

My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.

Government should be transparent. Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Government is doing. Information maintained by the Federal Government is a national asset. My Administration will take appropriate action, consistent with law and policy, to disclose information rapidly in forms that the public can readily find and use. Executive departments and agencies should harness new technologies to put information about their operations and decisions online and readily available to the public. Executive departments and agencies should also solicit public feedback to identify information of greatest use to the public. ….

Another sample of what was promised – VIDEO Transition Update: Valerie Jarrett on Ethics Reform

Compare those promises against a sample of what you’ve gotten, instead. Government watchdogs are complaining that Treasury officials are not being transparent enough about how the hundreds of billions of TARP funds are being spent. …Elizabeth Warren, chairwoman of the TARP congressional oversight panel, agreed. She complained that multiple inquiries to Treasury have gone unanswered.

Here’s what Marc wrote: The Bushies used the argument of “state secrets” to lobby for immunity for the eavesdroppers. The brief filed Friday by DOJ countering a lawsuit from the Electronic Frontier Foundation goes even farther…. …There is absolutely no way to justify or rationalize this position taken by Obama/Holder. This is a transgression of campaign promises

Well, I provided a reasonable and simple justification – self-interest to protect Obama’s administraton. Call it Ockham’s razor. It’s sure not as complicated as you want to make it, and the other party doesn’t have the power to make Obama do something that he dosen’t want to do.

Now, reg, why don’t you just shut up?

Does it disappoint you that Obama is not keeping his promise to invade Pakistan?

That’s okay. You’ll get used to his broken promises one day.

Now, try to focus on what Marc wants you to discuss.
