Agent Brian Terry: Murdered by proxy.
The Hope And Change We Can Believe In


Rep. Gowdy's Statement on President Obama's Invoking Executive Privilege

Emphasis mine.

From The Honorable United States Represenative Trey Gowdy's Office.

Today, Rep. Trey Gowdy (SC-4), released the following statement in regards to President Obama’s Executive Privilege on the documents related to Fast and Furious, and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s investigation.

“The assertion of executive privilege is legally compromised and calculated solely to delay Congress from exercising its constitutional responsibility to provide oversight.”

“The President claims he knew nothing about Fast and Furious prior to Agent Brian Terry's murder and no one at the Department of Justice has suggested the President was part of the drafting of a demonstrably false letter dated February 4, 2011, to a committee of congress.”

“So, my question to the President is: What are you asserting privilege over? Did you know about Fast and Furious before Brian Terry's murder? Did you approve the operation? Did you participate in the drafting of a false letter to congress? Unless the answer to all of those questions is yes, there is no matter overwhich the President can assert privilege. It is merely the latest ploy to delay the investigation.

Honorable Rep. Trey Gowdy (SC-4) is a former federal and state prosecutor who prosecuted scores of firearms cases while working for the United States Attorney's Office.

Excellent, precise and perfectly worded. Thank you, Representative Gowdy.

Tweetdeck Not Using Firefox

on Wednesday, June 13, 2012
As a heavy Twitter user and Firefox zealot I was always annoyed at how TweetDeck used IE instead of my preferred browser to open links.

I'm using 64bit Windows 7 but it should shouldn't make a difference, leave a comment if you run into difficulties and I'll help you out.

Anyway, I did a little digging to make that behavior stop.  If you use an alternative browser follow these steps to make sure Tweetdeck uses it, too.

Very simply, go to Start and press "Default Programs".  In the dialog box that opens up:


Select "Set program access and computer defaults".

When that opens you'll see the following dialog box:


Press the two little arrows on the right of "Custom" to expand it.  The first option should be for your browser:


Makes sure all those "Enables..." are checked off and choose your default browser.

Press OK all the way out until all are closed.

Tweetdeck should then use Firefox as your default browser.

HTH.

Under-rated Movies - Midnight Run

on Friday, June 8, 2012
If it wasn't half to 4 in the morning, I'd be arsed to tell you all the reasons why I believe: Midnight Run is one of the most under-rated movies ever.

No one in the movie knows the capabilities or type of person with whom they're dealing.

Denis Farina is hilarious.

Need Help Looking For A Movie

on Saturday, June 2, 2012
So, there's a movie - I know I'm going to be vague but this is all I got so I apologize.

A mob boss, this is the most important because he's the funniest part of the whole movie (someone like Caan, Palminteri, Frank Vincent) has two or three of his goons out looking for "the bag of money", "the dead body", "the witness", the MacGuffin or whatever it is.

They call him every know and then, telling him of their failure to get this item and he berates them. The goons might be in Miami or the Bahamas or something, but he's up in his office in NYC.

The actor who is playing the boss is who makes the movie. His tirades are hysterical.

The movie is well known, but not a Blockbuster...more of a sleeper.

That's all I've got, I know it's a complete lack of information...but I need to get this movie because I remember it always making me laugh.
