A gentle reminder here that The BRAD BLOG runs almost solely on the support of donations from readers like you.
The BRAD BLOG receives no corporate or foundational support, has no deep-pocket “angel” contributors (though we’d welcome one or three!), and the ads running on this site cover very very little (extremely little!) of the actual costs we have to cover each month just to stay up and running.
It’s been an exhausting last several months here as we’ve directly taken on, with some success, some absolute Goliaths. And while I think we’ve been instrumental in helping to substantially turn back the tsunami of corporate media distributed disinformation which has helped to undermine democracy in one of the greatest Rightwing Hoaxes of the modern era, I have failed to find time during it all to post a direct plea to help underwrite all of the work done here.
If you support that work, please consider donating as a vote for it to continue — particularly in this crucial election year. While donations of any amount are always appreciated, monthly sustaining contributions — also in any amount you chose — are even more so. You can make such a contribution, security and quickly, via the light-blue “Please Help Support The BRAD BLOG” box you’ll see if you scroll down our right sidebar.
Snail mail contributions are also welcome, made out to: Brad Friedman / 7095 Hollywood Blvd., #594 / Los Angeles, CA 90028.
I hate asking, try to do so as little as I can, and wouldn’t do so at all unless it was necessary. So I thank you mightily in advance for your consideration… — Brad

try copying/pasting that into the address of your browser :-). No it won’t hurt anything. (not the testing… part)
this one does just images:
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName(“img”); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position=’absolute’; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+”px”; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+”px”}R++}setInterval(‘A()’,5); void(0);
Isn’t javascript fun?
One more stupid browser trick, then go donate to Brad:
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName(“p”); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position=’absolute’; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+”px”; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+”px”}R++}setInterval(‘A()’,5); void(0);
If you notice, the only difference between them is the “img” or “a” or “p”
once you have them in copy/paste, go to other sites and try them.
This is an April Fool, right?
You couldn’t be this naive. There is no scientifically varifiable proof for human caused global warming. The only data that existed, upon which most predictions were made, was lost. Therefore, the scientific process was compromised.
Regarding acorn … Well … As I said, this must be an April Fool. No intelligent person would support that crooked organization.
No Brad Fregger, this is not an April Fools joke.
And it’s very clear who the uninformed/misinformed is.
Come, Mr Fregger, peruse the multitude of documentation and evidence which overwhelmingly proves the decades long persecution of a truly honorable organization known as ACORN.
What could be more conservative, after all, than utilizing private investment to rehabilitate blighted neighborhoods? After all, this was ACORN’s primary mission.
Trust this Navy Vet and former Reagan voter, Mr Fregger, you have been (severely) misinformed.
Brad Fregger –
Though I’m partial to the World of Brads, your comment gives all of us a bad name.
Are that incredibly, embarrassingly disinformed about both Global Warming and ACORN? Or have you, yourself, posted an April Fools Joke here?
(Yes, thousands of scientists simply “lost” their peer-reviewed data on Global Warming. All at once. Good lord. But by all means, do entertain us with some links to the actual “evidence” you are basing your amusing assessment on, cuz we’d like to be still more amused by you here! Thanks!)
Larry O’Connor continued his whining with:
Apparently you don’t, because you completely misrepresented it completely to your readers at Andrew Breitbart’s website. If you do know what’s in it, but put out your deceptive, misleading garbage at Breitbart’s propaganda site anyway, then that would be what your friend the accused criminal James O’Keefe calls “journalistic malpractice”.
I would argue the latter is the case since your deceptive, but not stupid. But feel free to correct the record.
Beyond that, you are welcome to contact Maddow and ask her anything you wish. I’m neither her agent nor producer and do not speak for her in any way, shape or form.
Do you think nobody reads the words you write and Twitter, Larry? If that’s your definition of “civilized tone”, then no wonder you people foster the hatred and vitriol that you do.
Good luck with your partisan political agenda, Larry. I’m not particularly interested in it, as I hope you’d understand. I’m more concerned about the good of the country. And you?
(But while you’re acting as if you give a damn about “truth”, please feel free to apologize to Media Matters for having alleged they charged O’Keefe as a racist in your article here, but without offering a single example of same, or having bothered to either correct the record, or answer my direct privately emailed questions about it as you had promised.
As I have noted previously, you are not a serious person, you demonstrate that with just about every thing you do, and therefore do not merit the respect and decency you are pretending to request. Sorry, Larry. I suspect “Andrew Breitbart Presents Big Journalism” readers are that gullible. I am not.)
I invited Brad Fregger to come back and get to know us.
someone was posting over at patterico’s as “brad freedman” a few days ago.
What the hell is goin on over at the Bradblog?
I see your lit on the ACORN problem. But like I already predicted, it doesn’t matter cause the lies are already burned into people’s heads. I digress..
You guys still going on about that man made global warming nonsense? What a waste of time and money. Careful for those unconstitutional treaties…
Let me know when all this cap an trade treason is finally over because all hell has broken loose in the monetary system and finally finally your ready to finally put a stop to the electronics vote tabulation devices again.
Otherwise I will spy in on ya.
Just disagree on that AWG BS. And I don’t want to be patronized by the same crap you’ve taught me to recognize over the years.
For what it’s worth we still love ya which makes it a tough decision to stay away.

I understand Sacramento, CA is very close to being at sea level. To borrow from Bill Cosby, Phil…”how long can you tread water?”
Seas are rising
Glaciers are shrinking
Polar ice caps are melting.
And you call it nonsense?
Cap and trade is not law, so how can it be treason?
If you insist on not being patronized, then please, do not patronize others.
OK Using USPS….and paper mail.
Sacramento was always at low altitude. Although I see out there claims of an elevation of 47 feet and 24 feet. So you can cut the crap about being at SEA LEVEL. Utter nonsense.
Sacramento was a flood zone from the beginning. Sacramento indeed has flooded (go look at the hills in land park (near Sutterville Road), it’s HOW THOSE HILLS GOT THERE FROM A BROKEN LEVEE. There was no AWG then and there isn’t now.
But it’s the fact we are on two rivers, not the ocean which is the problem. It’s the fact farmers built levies out of substandard materials (RE: PEAT SOILS.) The Army Corps of Engineers has drilled down and filled these levies with slurry and cement to strengthen them.
However all that work has _nothing_ to do with AGW. It has to do with flood control. 100 year 500 year I forget which now…
These are facts you can look up. while my details might not be perfect. It is what happened. If there is any language about Climate, it’s because it got tossed in as PORK with a crafty name. So don’t give me no nonsense about treading water in Sacramento.
Nor does Arnold care.
I’ll also remind you that any webmaster can simply take a government website

Fascist money grabbers infiltrating .gov websites with an AGW agenda. This Water Education Foundation say’s they’re impartial, but that’s a LIE since they are pushing AGW agenda, with their white papers, flawed computer simulations, and open ended questions never answered. But while such questions are not answered the legislation is already shoved down our throats, and draws money up out of our pocket books.
You want to argue voters approved stuff? I argue when did they vote and HOW was the chain of custody (did they use electronic vote tabulation devices?) of the election dealt with?
Don’t patronize me with a three liner Dan. It nonsense I’m actually being nice with this term, would you rather I just call it BS?
This is a global to local government attack.
The question you have to ask yourself is what about AGENDA 21. How can it not be treason to toss out the Declaration of Independence for the UN Declaration of Human rights?

While Cap and trade is not law, it’s already being abused. I read all about it in HARPERS. It does nothing to help the environment.
The whole thing is a big scam and I’ve already watched the last 10 years our rights going to hell.
You want to talk about water management and the delta area.. That’s a complex issue. MORE than can be said in this single thread.
You can watch this clip and see they really don’t know what the future is.
http://www.water.ca.gov/climate..._of_Change.wmv
Then you can also see the sources. How am I to trust Elisa Lynn from Channel 10 when the same channel doesn’t report about electronics in elections or a number of other topics. This is propaganda. They don’t know the future and neither do you. They do know how to use spooky music.
Yeah the sea level rises. It also falls. All you need to is look at the CLIFFS off California, you can see the ocean had to have been 150-200 feet higher at one time. Paying taxes for that isn’t going to matter, it’s THEFT~ based on a lie that anything will matter!
Aerial spraying is still classified.
Is this changing the climate?
HAARP is still classified.
Is this changing the climate?
The CORPS OF ENGINEERS said “it’s an imperfect science” !!
The delta is a very complex system. Nobody wants poison in their water, nobody likes a drought, no farmer likes to watch his farm dry up. But the reality is you don’t have proof that man created this problem. The amount of money involved is already beyond what they say it is. Their flawed computer simulations can’t predict that cost over-run crap either.
I see how deeply embedded this United Nations crap is into local governments.
Again, don’t patronize me.

Your right about ACORN
Your right about Electronic vote tabulation devices
Your right about vote caging
Your WRONG about AGW
Phil – Meant to respond to your earlier note where you said:
And now you’ve repeated similar with your latest:
First, I don’t believe we’ve even covered the A (Anthropogenic, man made part) of GW (Global Warming) here. So while I appreciate that clearly you’ve got a strong opinion — which seems to be largely based on a whole lot of disinformation put at no small price by the global warming deniers of the fossil fuel industry and Koch Foundation — please don’t confuse your disinformation with the actual information that we’ve covered here (via Green News Report etc.)
Also, while I’m delighted to see from you again and that you’re doing well, and feisty as ever, I’d ask you not to jump down the throats of other commenters who don’t deserve it. Want to jump down mine? So be it. But please do so with accurate — and specific — information in regards to what we’ve actually covered here and haven’t.
Thanks, Phil.
{Ed Note: Comment removed. Dan-in-PA, you know the rules in regard to personal attacks on other commenters. I do appreciate your frustration, and hope you’ll note that I spoke to Phil’s tone in my previous note. Please try your best to not answer in anger, at least when the reply includes personal attacks on other commenters. As usual, attacking *me* is fine. – BF}
Sorry Brad..it got to me. I accept the smack down as properly earned.
Phil, sorry for the tone, but you can’t ascribe words to me which I clearly did not state.

FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING—
The book is–
Cimate Cover-Up: The Crusade To Deny Global Warming by James Hoggan
It’s all right there, if you have any interest in how we’re being mind-fucked.
Paperback. Not expensive. Not long. Clear.
Small donation mailed. Folks, small amounts add up. To the commenter who said damage had been done already to ACORN: got to record what’s happening, happened to hopefully, alert folks to something similar when it happens again and keeping the record straight about/for history is important.
