Like many other news orgs, the AP today is reprinting excerpts from the online diary kept by George Sodini, who killed 4 women and then himself at a Pittsburgh area fitness center last night.  The diary focuses on his problems with women and other worries, but also has some comments about the “liberal media,” the “Obama economy” — and it opens with remarks about last fall’s election, the election of “The Black Man” and jokes about black men and white women.  All left out of the AP excerpts and nearly everywhere else.  Here is the full diary.  UDPATE:  The diary has now been taken off the Web.

AP Omits Killer’s Obama References [E&P]

And you don’t need a pilot’s license!

I can only begin to imagine the injuries and property damage that thing will cause. I smell a Darwin Award.

Who, exactly, thought this was a good idea?

Will we ever finish cleaning up the Boy King’s messes?

A former Blackwater employee and an ex-US Marine who has worked as a security operative for the company have made a series of explosive allegations in sworn statements filed on August 3 in federal court in Virginia. The two men claim that the company’s owner, Erik Prince, may have murdered or facilitated the murder of individuals who were cooperating with federal authorities investigating the company. The former employee also alleges that Prince “views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the globe,” and that Prince’s companies “encouraged and rewarded the destruction of Iraqi life.”

Just another Sociopath for Jesus.  Nothing to see here.

Blackwater Founder Implicated in Murder [The Nation]

1. Interesting that he thinks members of his audience are capable of, say, blowing up a federal building.

2. Interesting that he brings up the Tiller murder.

3. Most interesting is that his usual passion is missing. Seems like he’s covering his ass for the shitstorm he knows will follow his insane racist rants. Disturbing to say the least.

Screaming and stomping his widdle feet:

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who was of course President Obama’s Republican rival in the 2008 general election, has announced that he will vote against Sonia Sotomayor, Obama’s first nominee to the Supreme Court.

In his floor statement, McCain harshly criticized Sotomayor as an activist judge who does not respect the legislative branch, the written law, or the will of the people — and who is now trying to hide from that record ….

This is very good news for Rudy Giuliani.
