Where is dKos' coverage of the two years of Lois Lerner's e-mails the IRS now claims has been lost to a "computer crash"? Are you just going to ignore this? Dig a hole and bury it?

How long will Obama supporters continue to embarrass themselves by accepting the administration's lies?

Thinking Republicans abandoned Bush in droves. Will Democrats not see their own failure?

Throughout an interesting life I have been fortunate to have had a lot of fun. I made my living at a job I loved. I traveled for years, seeing a world that fascinates me. While there were many things I did not because I wanted to, but because I had to, participating in this blog has come under the heading of "fun", no matter how angry some of the diaries made me.

When I say "angry" I'm not referring to feelings about posters. I mean the diaries themselves, which are so often full of information we need to know that the traditional media completely ignores. Kagro X is the classic example. How could we possibly understand Congressional procedure without him? The list of others is endless...gchaucer, bondad, mcjoan, Grey Hawk, Meteor Blades, joanneleon just head the top of it.

In the fractured news coverage on the finding of ricin in a Las Vegas hotel room there are increasingly common references to how easy it is to make ricin from castor beans.

All of those claims refer to the recipe for making ricin being available on the internet. I wondered if that were true, so I went looking. The result of my search is below the fold.

This story is just surfacing on the major media outlets.

According to early reports a package containing a substance that preliminary reports identify as ricin has been found in a Las Vegas hotel.

Initial information is so sketchy that it raises more questions than it answers. A little research raises even more. Turn the page to see why.

Last Sunday we took my son to Davenport, Iowa to board the Greyhound bus for Paducah, Kentucky. My son's a deckhand on river barges and he's just been hired by a barge line based in Paducah. They needed him to come to Paducah, a distance of four hundred ten miles, for hiring-in and company procedures training. They would pay for his transportation on the bus and put him up in a hotel while he was there.

The only schedule from Davenport to Paducah involved a twelve-hour layover in St. Louis and the total travel time for those four hundred miles was twenty-four hours. Not a pleasant prospect but the company was paying and he needs the job, so off he went.

By Wednesday afternoon he was ready to return home on the bus and wait for the company to call him with his boat assignment. We would pick him up in Davenport. That's when our real education in bus travel started. The nightmare is below the fold.

Back in early November there were a couple of diaries on dKos accusing the Clinton campaign of stiffing a waitress at a restaurant here in Iowa. She said she had not received a tip from the people with the Clinton campaign.

I've never been a Clinton supporter and I'm embarrassed to admit that I jumped into the discussion with some comments I'm not particularly proud of.

The Clinton campaign ultimately provided evidence that they had indeed tipped the waitress but not directly and the tip had failed to make its way to her. See this diary for the complete story.

So what's the point here?

In another classic example of the motto of the Bush/Cheney administration, "We take care of our own", Paul Wolfowitz has been hired by Condoleeza Rice at the Department of State.

I'm not a big fan of Charles Grassley, though I confess to having voted for him once on the basis of his service to his constituents. Senator Grassley has endeared himself further to me over the past few days by demanding the financial records of six televangelists. This is in response to a request filed by the Trinity Foundation, which has been collecting information on the god-mongers' opulent lifestyles.

This morning one of them defended himself.

Last week I spent four days live-blogging the California wildfires. One of the recurring complaints was the lack of fire-fighting aircraft and the delay in getting them airborne when they WERE available. (We won't even begin to discuss the possible effect on flight operations of George W. Bush's visit to the area last Thursday.)

Today we are treated to a story on the CBSNews website giving a little more detail about those aircraft. It turns out that the mess was even worse than we thought. Scroll down to see why.
