Cooley Hurd Afterward - Archives
There a paperclip, or a few pennies laying on the barren floor. The walls sport their original paint only in small squares, where pictures once hung. The place still smells like "us", even though everything we are has been moved into the new house.
I see the ghosts of DUers long since gone saying one last goodbye as I turn off the lights and close the door on DU2. I hope the new place has good water pressure.   Hi Everyone. Cooley here. Some might remember me, most probably don't. Well, I've decided, in DU2's final hours, to come back under my original moniker after a 3 year exile.
During that time, I underwent a name change - Dennis Donovan - and silently retired CH. And Dennis has been a pain in the ass ever since. I didn't do this for any reason other than a personal one that has since faded in relevance. So, time to get back to being Cooley. Mods, you can nuke Dennis if you want. He was a fine vessel and served me well. On to DU3! Notice the footwear:
 Is he telling the PUMAs he's in solidarity with them?  NY Gov. David Paterson at the DNC Convention.
 LOOK close!
 Check out Skinner's crazy muttonchops!  ...roughly 25 seconds into it, the LAPD beat a young boy with their batons.
  Every day he sits on his ranch, mulling over the options on what to do next in Iraq, men and women are dying.  The ISG Report came out on 12/6/06. Since then, 87 of our troops have been killed. This is what 87 dead servicemen look like, Mr. President: http://icasualties.org/oif/prdDetails.aspx... 30-Dec-2006 1 | US: 1 | UK: 0 | Other: 0 US NAME NOT RELEASED YET Baghdad (southwest part) Hostile - hostile fire - IED attack US NAME NOT RELEASED YET Al Anbar Province Hostile - hostile fire 29-Dec-2006 2 | US: 2 | UK: 0 | Other: 0 US NAME NOT RELEASED YET Baghdad Hostile - hostile fire - IED attack 28-Dec-2006 5 | US: 4 | UK: 1 | Other: 0 US Corporal Christopher E.

Ya know, it's not every day you get to shake the Big Dog's hand!
  Here's some pics from a truly memorable day: The last honestly-elected President arrives at the Warren County Airport:   Our next Congresswoman from the NY 20th District, Kirsten Gillibrand, speaks:   Introducing the Big Dog himself!     Our hero thanking supporters (he shook my hand about a minute before this pic  )   Today's the day, my friends! GOTV!!!!! John "Brooks Brothers Riot" Sweeney, YOU ARE  NY-20: CQ: Sweeney Race Now A Toss-Up By Greg Sargent This one surprises us a bit, because the last couple of polls showed sizeable leads for GOP Rep John Sweeney, but CQ has now downgraded its rating of the race between Sweeney and Dem Kirsten Gillibrand from "Leans Republican" to "Toss up": Gillibrand, an attorney and first-time candidate for public office, on Tuesday sent an open letter to Sweeney requesting he release information regarding police incidents earlier in his career, including an arrest for driving while intoxicated... It was another step in Gillibrand’s efforts to tie Sweeney to the “culture of corruption” tag with which Democrats have been trying to bedevil Republicans throughout the 2006 campaign. In fact, Gillibrand was an early entry, issuing accusations as early as last January that Sweeney was joining lobbyists on ski trips while ignoring the district’s problems. <snip>  Congressman Drinky-Drunk's in trouble!!!! kicking and recommending!
  ...at the same time?
 http://www.ctrl.org/boodleboys/qclub.html  Well, now, isn't that quaint, both of the Bush administration's top-guns in the intelligence field, CIA-Director Porter Goss and the new Intelligence Czar John Negroponte are both members of the Fence Club aka Psi Upsilon at Yale. Psi Upsilon was formed as a pact between seven students at Union College in 1833:"We, the undersigned, having determined to form a secret society, and having some conversation on the subject, do now and hereby pledge our sacred honors that we will keep all that has been done and said a most profound secret'' Negroponte and Goss, both 1960 Yale graduates, are shown here in a photo from the Fraternity section of the 1960 Yale Banner, the university yearbook. Yale's Psi Upsilon chapter, the second oldest </snip> Of course, it probably means nothing...  More weirdness at link. |
