When I see Beto, the song comes into my head.....
....
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Night time would find me at Rose's Cantina
Music would play and Felina would whirl.....
Everybody sing!
Wherever Aaron Brown is, I want to thank him for getting me through 9/11
I happened to wake up and flip on CNN to check the time....just as the first plane hit the tower.
And so I saw the whole thing in real time. All that bloody day.
Aaron Brown earned awards and the gratitude of millions for his calm, reasoned coverage. His professional skill kept many from going off the rails.
And then he was replaced by CNN with an NDA that kept him from taking a job in competition with CNN.
Wherever he is, I will never forget how grateful I was for him that day.
Columbia Journalism Review: Reporters Should Out Kavanaugh (many past off the record interviews...)

From the article......
“I have talked with reporters on background on some occasions,” Starr told Brill. He named Jackie Bennett, his deputy, as someone who had “talked ‘extensively about the case’ to three reporters—Michael Isikoff of Newsweek, Susan Schmidt of The Washington Post and Jackie Judd of ABC News.” None of those reporters confirmed Starr’s statement. He did not name other leakers.
But we know now that at least one reporter received information from Kavanaugh: Dan Moldea, who published a book, A Washington Tragedy: How the Death of Vincent Foster Ignited a Political Firestorm, that April. At the time, Kavanaugh had just completed a stretch working for Starr on an investigation of the death of Vincent Foster, a White House adviser; the case was ruled a suicide. Soon after speaking with Moldea, Kavanaugh returned to Starr’s office in a formal job. During the period in between, when he was chatting with Moldea, was he serving as a cutout for Starr—not technically on the books, but privy to his work? We don’t know what information Kavanaugh shared.
In July, Kavanaugh acknowledged having “been a source for several books written about the Starr investigation.” Last week, he told Washington Post reporters Tom Hamburger, Robert Barnes, and Robert O’Harrow, Jr., “I have also spoken to reporters on background as appropriate or as directed.” Moldea told the Post that Kavanaugh “was the designated person” the Office of the Independent Counsel “puts with people like me.” As evidence, Moldea kept recordings of his conversations with Starr deputies and has played them for Judiciary Committee lawyers. According to the Post, “The recordings suggest that Starr’s top deputies referred Moldea to Kavanaugh for answers to questions about the Foster matter.”
To whom else did Kavanaugh leak? And what did he leak?
Dan Moldea is an old friend of mine. He was asked to provide information to the Senate in the hearings on Kavanaugh. Here is his affidavit of last week: [link:http://www.moldea.com/Affidavit-OIC-09032018.pdf|
Update --- criminal complaint filed Kav --- How can Kavanaugh proceed if he has perjured himself?
Is there any action Dems can take on that? It's unlawful.
Here's the link to the complaint.

Common Dreams: SHUT DOWN the Senate!
The tactic that put Gorsuch on the Court was extreme but constitutional. The tactic that blocks Brett Kavanaugh is no more extreme, and no less constitutional.
It’s this: First, if Republicans don’t agree to table the nomination until 2019, every Democratic senator but one will boycott the Senate chamber for the rest of the year. Then the one remaining Democrat, a rotating position, will rise to deny unanimous consent on every matter the Senate tries to take up, including each quorum call. This means all 50 Republicans (with the passing of John McCain) must be in or near the chamber on any day Republicans wish to do business.
Even if Democrats execute this perfectly though, and Kavanaugh is confirmed, they will nonetheless prove that the “constitutional revolution” his confirmation guarantees — which even Republican voters will come to hate — is entirely of Republican doing.
They could still win every vote they want to win — 50 Republicans and one Democrat does constitute a quorum — but the price would be high. No single Republican senator could stray far from the chamber on days the Senate was in session — she could not go home, fundraise outside of DC or lunch with lobbyists away from the Capitol. Business as usual would end, and only votes Republicans deemed crucial could pass. The life of a Republican senator would drastically change.
This isn’t just a threat to disrupt the Kavanaugh vote. If Democrats do only that, they will lose. This is a threat to disrupt the Senate itself, and the life of each Republican senator, for the rest of the year — unless Republicans table the nomination until the next Senate is seated.

tabby has gotten extremely needy and weird
Her history. We rescued her from shelter almost three years ago. They told us that she was eight years old, that she had lived with five other cats whose owner could no longer afford to care for them, that she had not been spayed until in the shelter (from that we assumed she had cared for many litters of kittens in adulthood) A very sweet, loving cat. Very affectionate. In the last year or so, she has grown increasingly needy and odd. She spent most of ten months until mid summer burrowed under blankets 90 percent of the time. Since then she only wants to sit on my lap or hide. Mostly sleep on my lap. Obsessively. I am wondering if she is lonely for other cats. She's fixated on me. Not at all on other family.
Any thoughts?
What if it's PENCE??
What if the author of the NYT piece is PENCE.
Think about it.
