The Army's Bungling Recruitment
A retired major general is not happy. Here is the last paragraph.
A strong Army fighting force is essential not only to America's worldwide interests, but indeed to our survival as a nation and the life we enjoy today. But if the decline in our Army's strength continues, make no mistake, we could readily lose that way of life.

Anyone else suspect that the US already has death squads operating in Iraq? Several times a week there seem to be discoveries of graves, around 20 men in each one, blindfolded and shot. Obviously the insurgents have plenty of different tactics and targets but there's a suspicious unformity to this particlar M.O., and lack of any followup by the media.

Say, it just crossed my mind, do you think the "ex-gays" in those fundie "straight camps" actually sorta get off on having hoards of nubile gay teens running around playing touch football, that is, when they're not giving their quivering teenaged bodies long, loving hugs after a particularly heated reading of Leviticus?

Israel trains US assassination squads in Iraq
Julian Borger in Washington
Tuesday December 9, 2003
The Guardian
Israeli advisers are helping train US special forces in aggressive counter-insurgency operations in Iraq, including the use of assassination squads against guerrilla leaders, US intelligence and military sources said yesterday.

I cant help but think,that if the gop goes on to "win" the next election(more seats) than it may be liberals or middle of the roaders,who wind up in camps like that.Frightening to say the least.My heart goes out to that kid and others in is position.Is there nothing any of us can do to get him out of there?
D'oh.

Or hell, look at the bottom line: "The cost for the two-week commitment is $1,500 and the cost for the six-week commitment is $4,000."
I guess that's what fundies mean by Jesus being a "profit".
Anyone else suspect that the US already has death squads operating in Iraq?
I think it's pretty much a fact. There was a front page article in the NYT Magazine about the Iraqi Mukabarat being reactivated. An Iraqi death squad, basically. Then there's this...
Seymour Hersh: "The Salvador Option"
...and this...
Well, basically, what we have done since -- in the last year, is we have recreated the Iraqi Mukhabarat. This is the heavy-hitting secret police that Saddam ran. We have gone in and recreated many of the members, put them through a little acid test, made them vow that their allegiance – to what? – I guess, to America, or they're no longer Saddamites. In any case, this is our main force right now. This is the force that Allawi controls. This is a force, the former, you know, whatever the guys, whatever you want to call them, the former roughest guys that Saddam had are now working for us. They're our most prominent security force.
"But what I want to talk about right now is the living death - that we have right among our midst, not only in the state of Mississippi, but throughout the nation.
Those are the people who don't care.
Those who do care, but don't have the guts enough to stand up for it.
And those people who are busy up in Washington and other places, using my freedom, and my life, to play politics with."
David Dennis, at James Chaney's funeral.
Or hell, look at the bottom line: "The cost for the two-week commitment is $1,500 and the cost for the six-week commitment is $4,000."
I guess that's what fundies mean by Jesus being a "profit".
I would have figured that turning gay kids straight would pretty much pay for itself, in the many tangible benefits to our country. Like the wedding industry, for example.
Dean:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic National Committee leaders embraced feisty party boss Howard Dean on Saturday and urged him to keep fighting despite a flap over his blunt comments on Republicans.
After a meeting of the DNC's 40-member executive committee at a downtown hotel, members said Dean was doing exactly what they elected him to do -- build the party in all states and aggressively challenge Republicans.
"I hope Governor Dean will remember that he didn't get elected to be a wimp," said DNC member Gilda Cobb-Hunter, a South Carolina state representative. "We have been waiting a long time for someone to stand up for Democrats."

Hypocrite Alert!
How dare Howard Dean say my Party is dominated by White Evangelical Christians by Jerry Falwell!
Saw that fascist cult last night. Everybody should take a stand on that crap.
I wrote Zach a comment in his blog and fired off a heated e-mail to the camp.
I guess that's what fundies mean by Jesus being a "profit".
You can bet your bottom dollar that outfit is not in it for a profit.4 K for that kind of setting is probably about what it costs them to run something like that.What it really is about is brain washing.How many kids go thru that "program" and come out the other end incoherent fundamentalist ninnies?
I bet at least half.What 16-17 year old can stand up to the pressure of a bunch of adults praising the lord at evey passing of the breeze and not get infected?For that matter,how many adults can stand said treatment?
Jerry Falwell can lick my balls.
Hi, moonbats! Hot and humid here. Time to come in from the garden, drink some iced tea under the ceiling fan, and see what's been going on in the world.
Thanks for the death squad links all. WTF is this "Wolf Brigade" that got hit by one of their own today?
Like the wedding industry, for example.
Nuh-uh. The wedding industry is behind the push for gay marriage. And man-on-dog or box turtle marriage.
I am a rock...... I'm such a gneiss woman.
On that poor kid who posted the rules to the brainwashing camp - probably not a damn thing. He's 16. Parents can control a lot of his life legally, unless a court says otherwise.
I was watching Rod Paisley on the Jesus Channel yesterday (nothing else was on, and sometimes those guys are just too weird not to be funny.). At some point he was actually miming smoking a crack pipe and saying things like "I don't have to marry the woman I'm with! [mimed crack pipe hit . . .] I can just go to bed with her!
And then in his big televangelist way he started chanting "PUT THE CRAYUCK PIPE DOW-UN! PUT IT DOW-UN!"
Nuh-uh. The wedding industry is behind the push for gay marriage. And man-on-dog or box turtle marriage.
No, no, no. If gay marriage is legalized, straight marriage will lose such prestige that only gay people will want to get married anymore.
Vestal -
That's probally because Paisley is doing the exact thing he mimicks in his sermons.
Open means we can talk about anything, right? Well, then, just to brag, my dog knows sit-stay - and I have PROOF!

hadenough quotes:
"I hope Governor Dean will remember that he didn't get elected to be a wimp," said DNC member Gilda Cobb-Hunter, a South Carolina state representative. "We have been waiting a long time for someone to stand up for Democrats."
I was listening to a bit of All Things Considered yesterday talking about Dean. They interviewed a Dem chair from...can't quite remember, Kentucky or Tennessee, who said: (paraphrase) "I didn't vote for Dean to head up the party but after he came here and listened to us I knew he was good for us."
Damn straight.
.
How many kids go thru that "program" and come out the other end incoherent fundamentalist ninnies?
How many kids come out feeling depressed or commit suicide or try to escape those feelings of guilt and shame by falling into the crystal-meth-sex-party-HIV black hole?
Seriously, these "gay re-education" motherfuckers are harming society with this insane Gestapo bullshit.
Nuh-uh. The wedding industry is behind the push for gay marriage. And man-on-dog or box turtle marriage.
Did you know the wedding industry is dominated by faceless malevolont corporations headquartered along the Jersey Turnpike? True story.
Eli,EXACTLY!
Those are the people who don't care.
One thing we should understand here.How many people are addicted to drugs,I wonder?Is there even a concensus on the number.My wild ass guess is,its close to the number of people not voting....
Get my drift?
Lets not go off on a tangent too badly about the people in this country that dont vote.
That poor kid! Any Atriots in his area that could act as or steer him to a good lawyer? I understand some states have provisions that teens can declare themselves independent of their parents at 16 or 17, at least to the extent of choosing a place to live.
No teen should be involuntarily committed in any kind of program without legal representation.
No, no, no. If gay marriage is legalized, straight marriage will lose such prestige that only gay people will want to get married anymore.
Are you kidding? The gay couples I know will throw such weddings! Ice sculptures! Elaborate napkins! Color-themed confetti! Shit, gay marriage could turn this economy around in about a year. No standing out in the cornfield in a home-made dress for them. ~glances around~ Um, not that I, you know, actually know anyone who made her own dress and got married in a cornfield.
if the decline in our Army's strength continues, make no mistake, we could readily lose that way of life.
But,but...the GOP supports the troops! Jesus told me so!
Richard... what a Dick.

Antiterror Head Will Help Name an F.B.I. Leader
By DAVID JOHNSTON
WASHINGTON, June 11 - Under pressure from the White House, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has agreed to adopt the recommendations of a presidential commission and will allow the director of national intelligence, John D. Negroponte, to help choose a powerful intelligence chief at the F.B.I., Bush administration officials say.
The appointment would for the first time in the bureau's history give an outsider a significant role in the selection of a high-level official at the F.B.I., an agency long regarded by its critics as fiercely protective of its turf and resistant to change. The intelligence chief, who will be chosen jointly by Mr. Negroponte and the director of the F.B.I., Robert S. Mueller III, would have the tentative title of associate director for intelligence and in effect be the third-ranking official at the bureau.

But negroponte is back home.

War is Hell
my 9/11 story. i was wash'n windows. got in the car to drive to the next job, heard the report on the local rock station. thought it was a stupid joke, like they always do on those pablum am shows. but then an NBC corespondent broke in and i knew it was for real. my second job was a chinese restaraunt. interestingly the the fry cooks were veitnamese, boss was late, door was locked and they sat their waiting. first thing they asked was "did i hear" and i said yes, shocked discussion ensued. a few minutes later an older guy popped out from the shop next door where his wife was having her hair done. all blustery, identified himself as a ret. general. said "we're gonna get those bastards" i said "yea, but we don't know who those bastards are". he said "oh, we know" but he didn't. he stormed off, seemingly miffed.
the fry cooks seemed about my age. and they had already told me they had come from veitnam. i knew they had been young teenagers when the war raged on. i asked them about it. though they had been quite animated and cordial when i first showed up they muttered something unintelligible beneath their breath. end of discussion, i washed my windows, went home hugged my wife and child and watched the pics on tv.
a couple of years later pres. dumbass attacked the wrong fuck'n country. i hate that bastard.
any way read the link. Chris Hedges, is a much better writer than me.

Pakistan Rape Victim's Movement Restricted
By KHALID TANVEER,
MULTAN, Pakistan - A Pakistani woman who was gang-raped on orders from a village council asked the government on Saturday to lift restrictions on her movement.
Mukhtar Mai, 36, said she had suddenly been included without explanation on a government list of people who cannot leave Pakistan.
"Now, police deployed at my home for my protection are not allowing me to go anywhere," Mai told The Associated Press by phone from Meerwala, a village about 350 miles southwest of Islamabad where she lives with her family.
"I demand that all restrictions on my movement be lifted so that I could travel to Islamabad to meet with my lawyer," she said.

Keep up the good work, Musharraf! Those gang-raped women certainly present a dire threat to the world at large.

Go. Howard.
*I'll bring more over in minute.
all blustery, identified himself as a ret. general. said "we're gonna get those bastards" i said "yea, but we don't know who those bastards are". he said "oh, we know" but he didn't.

Yep, just call me the Weather Rock...
Keep up the good work, Musharraf! Those gang-raped women certainly present a dire threat to the world at large.
Maybe they're afraid of a Gang Rape Gap.
Wow. This reflects us!
"Also says "In the last coulple of days over 100,000$'s has been raised over the internet unsolicited. People want us to fight...we are not going to lay down in front of the Republicans any more."

Dean: "The right to vote in this country is under attack."
"We are not going to lie down in front of the Republican machine anymore."
"Do you have *any* idea how much damage this bulldozer would suffer if I just let it roll straight over you?"
"No, how much?"
"None whatsoever."

Martinez off the reservation???
From St Pete Times, via Josh Marshall:
U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez said Friday that the Bush administration should consider Sen. Joseph Biden's suggestion to shut down the U.S. military's prison camp on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
He also criticized the administration and Congress for paying little attention to growing Latin American problems and lamented the slow progress in Iraq.
[snip]
Martinez, a lawyer, added, "It's not very American, by the way, to be holding people indefinitely...."
[snip]
"The administration has been very remiss for the last four years in its direction toward Latin America to their great consternation now," Martinez said.
[snip]
Martinez, who backed the war in Iraq during his Senate campaign, raised questions about the progress there.
"I am discouraged by how long it has taken for us to begin to draw down some forces," he said. "I would have thought by now, and I think in a clearer moment that the president and (Defense) Secretary (Donald) Rumsfeld would have thought that by now we would be in a position to be able to draw down some forces. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case."
My local public radio plays bluegrass all Sunday afternoon. Wouldn't mind the music if they just wouldn't sing.

Red Tide
Words by Neil Peart, Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
nature has some new plague
to run in our streets
history some new wrinkle
we are doomed to repeat
fugitives at the bedroom door
lovers pause to find an open store
rain is burning on the forest floor
and the red tide kisses the shore
THIS IS NOT A FALSE ALARM
THIS IS NOT A TEST
stay out of the sun
it only burns my skin
sky full of poison
and the atmosphere's too thin
bless the sun, the rain no more
river running like an open sore
black wind falling to the ocean floor
and the red tide washes ashore
THIS IS NOT A FALSE ALARM
THIS IS NOT A TEST
Nowhere we can fly away
Nowhere we can rest
The party is disrupted by
An uninvited guest
deadline approaches
for the weary land
it used to be something
but we let it run down in our hands
too late for debate, too bad to ignore
quiet rebellion leads to open war
bring a sea-change to the factory floor
as the red tide covers the shore
Now's the time to turn the tide
Now's the time to fight
Let us not go gently
To the endless winter night
Now's the time to make the time
While hope is still in sight
Let us not go gently
To the endless winter night

There was a lot of changes the last time I was there (1994)and I can't remember if the trains were still running. The station was still there, but I can't recall if rails were still in place..
Moad-Dib 5:56 pm
unless the rains have washed out the tracks, the trains still run, hourly i think, from LA to SD, stopping at some of those cool old beach towns, like Capistrano, and DelMar (Race track)...well, that was three years ago...

it was one thing to go into afghanistan, quite another to lie to the american people and attack a country unprovoked. with seemingly no compunction about the consequences.
I was okay with invading Afghanistan in principle, but not the way we went about it (delegate critical objective of OBL capture to warlords; no effort to control or rebuild anything outside Kabul).
Public transit? In SoCal? Isn't that un-American?
Silly. California isn't in America. California is practically France!
The vanquished know the essence of war – death. They grasp that war is necrophilia. They see that war is a state of almost pure sin with its goals of hatred and destruction. They know how war fosters alienation, leads inevitably to nihilism, and is a turning away from the sanctity and preservation of life. All other narratives about war too easily fall prey to the allure and seductiveness of violence, as well as the attraction of the godlike power that comes with the license to kill with impunity.
from my link War is Hell, i thought well worth the read.
Peace.

It's been many years ago (1980's), but I do remember taking the train from the station in downtown San Diego to LA.
It's not a bad ride: about an hour. When my friends came over for a conference in San Diego, they flew direct to LAX and got the train, rather than change planes.
"Public transit? In SoCal? Isn't that un-American?"
As opposed to sitting on the Interstate, inching one's way to a turn off a few hundred feet away for over an hour? People tend get out of the way/make room for a train faster than they do when I'm in my car on the interstate.

mebbe 90 mins, but most of it is right along the coast, right beside the beach...
doesn't need to, though technically the trains is capable of such speed, flat out, on the plains on a good roadbed...
SoCal has none of those...plus stops, and crossings...it get's slower the closer to the border you get, iirc
but the distance isn't bad...it's probably no more than 60 miles from Station to Station

How about Bluegrass for once, instead of rock?

In that vein - I don't remember where I saw it, but I saw some music video recently that looked like a "Dukes of Hazzard" parody, to a bluegrass version of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made for Walking." Bizarre - I do NOT recommend watching it sober.
I note that Donna Brazile can always be trusted for that 'privately...' comment. Ugh.

The preferred method is to take a pot of water outside with you. If you see a bright golden light reflected in its surface, it'll be sunny. If you turn it upside down and the water doesn't come out, cold weather is coming. And if you see little rings coming and going, the precipitation probability is greater than 50%.
And, the next time I hear about how secular humanists are ruining the country, I will, in my dreams, line up every last fucking sky pilot and Bible thumper in the country, including our president, and ask them to explain to the American people, on record, in as much time as they need, exactly how they feel about that goddamned (I use the term literally) gay reeducation camp, and if they would send their children there. Not even Jesus would forgive what they do. It needs to be brought out into the open and called by its name.
The analogy between civil rights for gays and earlier (and ongoing) struggles against racism seems to me stronger every day. This isn't a debate over gay marriage. Never was. And anyone who refuses to take a stand on this isn't worth a hair on that boy's head.

Not entirely true. They also do other '70s guitar rock like ACDC and KISS as bluegrass and have an "alter ego" band that retools bluegrass traditionals as rock songs.
If they every come to town it's a pretty good show, though I don't know that I'd ever buy a CD.
It's the Pacific Surfliner and you can connect from the Metrolink no less!

Central Scrutinizer
Heard OF them, but don't recall ever hearing their music.
It was bad enough when the Osborne Brothers, a REAL bluegrass act, covered Nazareth's "Love Hurts." That's just wrong.
Do like the Dread, though.
If you haven't come across it, there was a tribute to Bruce's "Nebraska" known as "Badlands." Well worth a listen.
And a few weeks ago Lucy Kaplansky was in town, and we picked up a copy of "Going Driftless," a tribute to Greg Brown.
No matter what else Greg does in his life, "Lord I have made you a place in my heart" means he did not live in vain. The only "post-modern gospel song" as Dar Williams describes it:
Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart among the rags and the bones and the dirt.
There's piles of lies, the love gone from her eyes, and old moving boxes full of hurt.
Pull up a chair by the trouble and care. I got whiskey, you're welcome to some.
Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart, but I don't reckon you're gonna come.
I've tried to fix up the place, I know it's a disgrace, you get used to it after a while.
With the flood and the drought and old pals hanging out with their IOU's and their smiles.
Bare naked women keep coming in and they dance like you wouldn't believe.
Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart, so take a good look - and then leave.
Oh Lord, why does the Fall get colder each year?
Lord, why can't I learn to love? Lord, if you made me, it's easy to see that you all make mistakes up above.
But if I open the door, you will know I'm poor and my secrets are all that I own.
Oh Lord, I have made you a place in my heart and I hope that you leave it alone.

Did you read that kids blog?
There was over 200 somments to his post.That makes me think theres more support for gays than you let on.But lets not go there.THere was quite a few comments on this thread alone.
kelley b., read your post below. What's happening?
Saw this at AP:
...(Former Democratic Governor Gray Davis) said he erred by buying power at inflated rates during the height of the crisis, but said he acted because he "wasn't willing to risk" sustained blackouts.
"Did it turn out to be a mistake? Yes," Davis said during a speech Friday before the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco.
Davis blamed bad advice from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as he tried to respond to manipulation of the state's energy market by traders from Enron Corp. and other energy companies.
"When I ran for governor in '98, not a single human being asked me about electricity," Davis said at a conference on finding ways to reform California government and politics. "I knew nothing about electricity. ... I wish I knew as much about electricity then as I do now."
Davis said the state's 1996 deregulation law, signed by GOP Gov. Pete Wilson, was a "colossal mistake" that allowed unethical energy traders to rip off consumers in the "the biggest robbery since the Brink's robbery."
He also criticized federal energy regulators for failing to stop Enron traders from practices like urging that power plants be shut down to drive up electricity costs.
"Enron (traders) were like the old wildcatters," Davis said of the company now in bankruptcy protection. "They had no care about tomorrow. They just wanted to sweep every nickel, every dime out of California because they had no idea how long this party would last."
And the headline to the AP story?
Former Gov. Gray Davis admits errors in state's power crisis
The breathless lede?
Former Gov. Gray Davis now admits he was unprepared for the 2000-2001 energy crisis that sent electricity bills soaring, brought rolling blackouts, and ultimately helped bring an early end to his political career.
Fucking whores.

FORT RILEY, Kan. (AP) - An Army sergeant convicted of shooting two fellow soldiers to death last year at his farmhouse will serve life in prison with no chance of parole, a military jury decided Saturday.
Sgt. Aaron Stanley, a 23-year-old veteran of the Iraq war, was sentenced a day after his conviction by the same eight jurors on two counts of premeditated murder. They deliberated about six hours over his sentence - and only three hours over his guilt.
``These were extraordinarily violent and senseless murders,'' Maj. John Hamner, the lead prosecutor, told the panel.
Stanley was convicted of killing Staff Sgt. Matthew Werner, 30, of Oxnard, Calif., and Spc. Christopher D. Hymer, 23, of Nevada, Mo., in September in Clay Center, about 30 miles west of Fort Riley.
Stanley, of Bismarck, N.D., argued he acted in self-defense and to protect another soldier who was there, but prosecutors said he shot the two men to conceal an illegal drug trafficking operation, believing the victims to be informants for Fort Riley police. Stanley and the other soldier, Sgt. Eric Colvin, had acknowledged manufacturing methamphetamine and growing marijuana at the farmhouse.
These guys only seem to get in trouble when they shoot each other.

The entire point of Arnold is to protect Lay, and the great danger of Davis that had to be stopped was his pursuit of Enron. Davis actually said at one point in a press conference that he would get to the bottom of it, and from that point was living under a cloud. It's a like a Capra movie without a Capra ending.

But if he signed up to join the military and went over and killed people overseas....or got killed for Halliburton...these same assholes would be so "proud."
I think these fundies should all be sent somewhere to be deprogrammed.
"A strong Army fighting force is essential not only to America's worldwide interests, but indeed to our survival as a nation and the life we enjoy today. But if the decline in our Army's strength continues, make no mistake, we could readily lose that way of life."
America's worldwide interests? All the nations we can invade for their oil?
And what life are we "enjoying" today?
