This is news to me: The House of Reps passed this peice of shit:
It passed an amendment to a budget bill that would bar money from being spent to enforce a federal court ruling regarding the Ten Comandments. The vote threatens the judiciary's long acknowledged position as the final arbiter of the Constitution
These fucking clowns have nothing better to occupy their time.

Can't be constitutional. I'm not an expert, but hell, if you could do this there would be no way to enforce any court decision.
Bluto -- not quite. Here's the story at the Trib, by way of the Kansas City Star:
"I have learned from my statement that historical parallels can be misused and misunderstood," Durbin, D-Ill., said in a written release. "I sincerely regret if what I said caused anyone to misunderstand my true feelings: Our soldiers around the world and their families at home deserve our respect, admiration and total support."
What gets me is this fatuous bullshit at the very end:
Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, described Durbin's expression of regret as "a positive step."
Still, she said, "It's troubling that the knee-jerk reaction of Democrats in Washington is to lash out with vile rhetoric without any consideration of the consequences. The American people deserve more from their leaders."
I would willingly piss in this woman's corn flakes for such fucking lunatic hypocrisy. Will the press call her on it? Don't hold your breath.
WTF is up with the lawlessness and lack of respect for the Constitution in the GOP? Laws are for others, not them. The Constitution is useful as long as suits their needs, if not, tough shit. Amazing.

Florida GOP Trying To Thwart Harris' Senate Bid
LINKEE
WoodyGuthriesGuitar
Gov. Jeb Bush and the White House are pushing House Speaker Allan Bense to challenge fellow Republican Katherine Harris for the U.S. Senate, fearing her candidacy would damage the GOP's chances in that race and the governor's contest next year.
I think Jeb can do a pretty good job of damaging the GOP's chances all by himself. Has anybody done a poll yet on his latest persecution of Michael Schiavo?
Tom DTL -- good lord, man, did you have to mention all four of them in one phrase? I think my DSL upchucked.
Kitty Litter blogging, for those that missed it.
watertiger -- wish I thought you were wrong.... :-/
30 or so comments this mornin' and not one single FUCK BUSH?!?!? You slackers, why I otter...
LOVED that cartoon! ("Mornin', Ralph.")
My esteemed Sen. Santorumanondog opined that all cases like the Schiavo one should be reviewed by Federal courts. And all we can find to oppose him is a right-wing "Democrat" whose old man refused to endorse Carter and then obfuscated that whole can't-speak issue.
Will Katie have to wear flats from now on?
Amusing to note that both of the direct quotes from a "senior Bush official" are verifiably lies:
"There is a timeline, and we're still on it," he said.
"Nobody denies the loss of life and the carnage that is being wreaked on the Iraqi people and on us by the terrorists," he said.
Paging Alan Keyes... Florida needs you!

No, a positive step would be throwing herself over a cliff. That statement has the smell of the whole Newsweek bru-ha-ha coming from the fascists in the WH.

How "WE" fucking blew it it Iraq
THis guy was on TDSWJS (who does mostly quite good, serious' interviews, btw):
"The failures of the Bush administration to prepare adequately for the postwar period in Iraq are by now well known, underscored by the revelation this week that a briefing paper, prepared for Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain eight months before the invasion, warned that "a postwar occupation of Iraq could lead to a protracted and costly nation-building exercise" and that "little thought" had been given by the United States to "the aftermath and how to shape it."
It is a subject explicated in chilling - and often scathing - detail by "Squandered Victory," a new book by Larry Diamond, a former senior adviser to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad and a leading American scholar on democracy and democratic movements.
In this book, Mr. Diamond contends that the postwar troubles in Iraq - a bloody and unrelenting insurgency, the creation of a new breeding ground for terrorists and metastasizing ethnic and religious tensions - are the result of "gross negligence" on the part of a Bush administration that rushed to war.
He asserts that "mistakes were made at virtually every turn" of the occupation, and that "every mistake the United States made in Iraq narrowed the scope and lengthened the odds for progress."
Durbin is hounded by the rabid dog press and this shit gets a free ride…sick.
At least my hometown rag stepped up a bit:
Detroit Freep Ed:
Long-overdue apology deserved more support
June 18, 2005
The U.S. Senate's recent apology for the atrocity of lynching is a bittersweet step forward.
Clearly, the words come decades too late to make a meaningful difference.
An estimated 5,000 people, most of them African Americans, were lynched -- hanged by mobs or racial terrorists -- in this country from the mid-19th Century to as recently as 1968. This national shame was hardly a national secret. But all the while, the government refused to pass a federal antilynching law.
snip...
So, yes, it is significant for the U.S. Senate to get around to saying "sorry." There is, after all, no statute of limitation on condemning such historic wrongdoing. Thousands of families deserved at least this gesture a long time ago.
Yet even in apologizing the Senate sent a mixed message.
Its proclamation failed to get support from the entire body, and most notably quiet were senators from Mississippi, which played host to more lynching than any other state in the nation.
This long-overdue gesture also was relegated to passing by a voice vote at night, rather than a higher profile record roll-call vote.
Lynching has lived long enough in the shadows of history. The Senate's belated apology should have come in the full light of day.
"Nobody denies the loss of life and the carnage that is being wreaked on the Iraqi people and on us by the terrorists," he said.
Yep. All those innocent wimmin and children we are killing in round ups and raids are terrorists. Culture of life, my ass! (_!_)
Senate apology for gay bashing expected any moment.
Tom DTL -- good lord, man, did you have to mention all four of them in one phrase? I think my DSL upchucked.

"The tipping point
Iraq rapidly approaching the point of no return"
by Geov Parrish
In the obscure parlance of Capitol Hill, a "tipping point" is a critical mass, the point at which a decision or trend acquires the momentum to become irreversible. And the word is out: the war in Iraq is reaching a tipping point.
A new Gallup poll shows that 59 percent of Americans believe that the U.S. should withdraw some or all of its troops from Iraq, the largest number ever. Nearly half of that number, 28 percent, want all troops withdrawn. And, for the first time, most Americans say they would be "upset" if President Bush sent more troops.
Gallup also found that 56 percent of Americans now feel that launching the war was "not worth it." An ABC News/Washington Post poll last week had nearly three quarters of Americans calling the casualty level "unacceptable." And another poll last week found that 42 percent now liken the Iraq War to Vietnam."
===============MORE===============
Wow. Patriotboy linked to me. I feel so honored! *sniff*
Interesting op-ed by former Soviet dissident Pavel Litvinov in this morning's WaPo concerning AI's use of the term "gulag" in its recent report (interestingly, he points out that "gulag" was an acronym for Stalin's main prison administration-- I'd add that it's the "archipelago" quality of the Bush Administration's system that's most similar).
I'm sure this piece won't be well received hereabouts, but Litvinov is no apologist for the Bush Administration. He concludes:
There is ample reason for Amnesty to be critical of certain U.S. actions. But by using hyperbole and muddling the difference between repressive regimes and the imperfections of democracy, Amnesty's spokesmen put its authority at risk. U.S. human rights violations seem almost trifling in comparison with those committed by Cuba, South Korea, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia.
The most effective way to criticize U.S. behavior is to frankly acknowledge that this country should be held to a higher standard based on its own Constitution, laws and traditions. We cannot fulfill our responsibilities as the world's only superpower without being perceived as a moral authority. Despite the risks posed by terrorism, the United States cannot indefinitely detain people considered dangerous without appropriate safeguards for their conditions of detention and periodic review of their status.
Words are important. When Amnesty spokesmen use the word "gulag" to describe U.S. human rights violations, they allow the Bush administration to dismiss justified criticism and undermine Amnesty's credibility. Amnesty International is too valuable to let it be hijacked by politically biased leaders.
He's got a point... it's not so much that we have an American "gulag" as a "Gitmo Archipelago."
BushCo is incredibly crafty at using every little overstatement, imprecision or infelicitous analogy to a) distract attention from their misdeeds and b) intimidate others from speaking out forcefully. Ask Senator Durbin.
Not sure where I come out on this article, but I'm interested in y'all's opinions.
sure, amnesty shouldn't have used gulag but it's a bit like blaming the rape victim for having a couple drinks while wearing a short skirt.

Bush is limping and quacking and shedding feathers and leaving ducky shit all over the place and this is just the start of his 2d term.

We have passed the tipping point IMO. Once the military decided to blow up entire cities and go on pointless door to door searches looking for insurgents, it became clear that things in Iraq are FUBAR. It's all over. Just a matter of how much longer Bu$h is willing to waste lives before we leave Iraq in disgrace.
bigvic - I agree.
I think we may have reached it with Falujah - it just takes time for everything to finally coalesce into a picture everyone can understand.

Debate if you want whether a distributed system of secret prisons qualifies as a Gulag, but the war bloggers only argue a matter of quantity rather than a matter of principle at this point.
The US might not be as bad as Stalin at this point, but to actively accept torture by Americans or their proxies is unAmerican.

I don't think there are that many True Believers.
I think there are more that are hung up on "winning", especially by proxy by "riding on Furious George's coattails" because their life amounts to nothing otherwise.
And at this point their fearless Dear Leader has to wear a bullet proof vest between his helicopter and his home and North Korea's Little Elvis can go visit with his war opponent in the South and not have to wear anything but that silly green uniform and the hair swept back.
Tena,
Faluja is exactly what I had in mind as the begining of the end.
Tom, You're right about the freeper crowd. They jump all over minute phrasing and totally ignore the big issue: The U.S. is torturing, rendering and hiding prisoners from the justice system. Using the term "Gulag" doesn't make those nasty facts go away.

A great American in the face of folks like Fox News, who hate America and the Constitution which protects our freedoms.
I just went to dunkin donuts. Delicious
WGG,
the follow-up question, however, is not asked:
Do you care?
Yes
No
For the most part I try to avoid contact with the general public. Recently due to a work project I have come in contact with a lot of them. And I am shocked. Shocked that people think we are safer..that only a Republican like Bush (a incompetent loon as a patriot!)could make us safer. Of course these same people also believed that Michael Jackson would be tried to determine if he was a molestor --in toto--not just in this one case.
I blame the media for making the majority of Americans ignorant fools when they think they have the facts.
The Schiavo case is another prime example.
And at this point their fearless Dear Leader has to wear a bullet proof vest between his helicopter and his home
...not sure it's so much that he "has to" because he's in such imminent danger, as that he's a craven little chickenshit who's afraid of everything he can't grind under his heel.
...and thanks for the comments on the 'gulag' piece, Tom.
"The sun is shining! What are you doing inside?!"
Come inside out of the sun! Mad dogs! Englishmen! 106F!
We live a little differently in Arizona.
Debate if you want whether a distributed system of secret prisons qualifies as a Gulag, but the war bloggers only argue a matter of quantity rather than a matter of principle at this point.
it wasn't the labor camp aspect of the Stalin gulags that differentiated them from other Bush's...
the difference between Stalin's gulag and Bush's is that the people Stalin sent to the Gulag had at least the pretense of due process...

Via huffintonpost:
June 18, 2005
The Bush administration altered critical portions of a scientific analysis of the environmental impact of cattle grazing on public lands before announcing Thursday that it would relax regulations limiting grazing on those lands, according to scientists involved in the study.
...
The original draft of the environmental analysis warned that the new rules would have a "significant adverse impact" on wildlife, but that phrase was removed. The bureau now concludes that the grazing regulations are "beneficial to animals."
Eliminated from the final draft was another conclusion that read: "The Proposed Action will have a slow, long-term adverse impact on wildlife and biological diversity in general."
Also removed was language saying how a number of the rule changes could adversely affect endangered species.
"This is a whitewash. They took all of our science and reversed it 180 degrees," said Erick Campbell, a former BLM state biologist in Nevada and a 30-year bureau employee who retired this year. He was the author of sections of the report pertaining to the effect on wildlife and threatened and endangered species.

Demonstrators march in front of Cunningham's Rancho Santa Fe house
By Karen Kucher and Greg Magnus
UNION-TRIBUNE BREAKING NEWS TEAM
1:49 p.m. June 17, 2005
RANCHO SANTA FE – About two dozen demonstrators gathered outside Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham's gated driveway Friday to protest his real-estate dealings with a defense contractor that they dubbed "Mansiongate."
The group chanted slogans and waved homemade signs that accused Cunningham of profiting from the war in Iraq and claiming his vote was for sale. They asked for Cunningham to disclose his financial transactions involving the defense contractor, MZM Inc., and some called for his ouster.
Many of the demonstrators linked their concerns about Cunningham's transaction with a defense contractor to the war in Iraq. Rodney Galloway of Ramona said he attended the noontime rally because he supports pulling the troops out of Iraq and to protest Cunningham's conduct.
...MZM owner Mitchell Wade bought Cunningham's house for $1,675,000 inNovember 2003 and swiftly put it back on the market for about the same price. It sat on the market for almost nine months until it sold for $975,000.
It was later reported that Cunningham has been living aboard a 42-foot-yacht owned by Wade. On Friday the newspaper reported the FBI had opened an inquiry into the real estate transaction.
Cunningham used the money from the initial sale to buy the $2.55 million house in Rancho Santa Fe where protesters gathered today.
"Buy your mansion, buy your yacht, while our troops die in Iraq," was one the chants offered by the protesters.
"He sold out to defense contractors and our kids are being killed because of it," said Ramona Byron of Oceanside.
...Some of Cunningham's neighbors were miffed to find protesters and news crews on the quiet residential street. One woman drove by in her BMW and honked her horn repeatedly.
Another neighbor, who lives across the street from Cunningham's home, came out to chastise the group, saying she had a party starting soon and her guests would need places to park.

Me too. According to the extremely clever people at the University of Iowa, 30 minutes of rotary mowing burns approximately 350 calories. Two acres is a little much for me tho - I'd switch to an electric for that. Or a scythe.
QL,
But the lady told me it was real Hermes!!!
alright. speaking of the sun shining, i'm outta here. Chinatown and the hordes await. (sharpening elbows)
I'll have to be mowing the lawn sometime between 4 and 5am Sunday.
You have a lawn? In Arizona? I didn't think anybody had a lawn in Arizona. My ex-SIL just has rocks.
Thanks hadenough on that grazing story.
Goes well with the hush hush on the retesting for Mad Cow on the flip flopping cow, that did but then didn't and then may have had BSE again.

I had over an acre of front yard when I was a homeowner. My weekend time was too precious to be spent behind a mower. I got my exercise by writing a check to the guy who mowed it for me.
I have a feeling that when all is said and done, history will show that Guantanamo was a huge black mark on America. And it will resemble the Nazi prison camps and the gulags because because it was another hideous example of man's inhumanity to man. And with that realization come feelings of horror, disgust, and disappointment.
Some might think we should have known better. Oh, there will always be individuals or groups of people who act like animals.
The real horror here is that this country is judged by the actions of the Bush administration.
And it, apparently, condones these atrocities.
Huge black mark.
You just know that whomever Sanders' right wing opponent is will paint him exactly that way.
They always try, and he always is elected with 60-70% of the vote. 'course, the joke here is that we'd rather have him mucking things up in DC than here in VT.
And the state GOP is flailing right now trying to decide which sacrificial candidate will go up against him. It's fun to watch.

hamletta - Some of us had the foresight to have our houses in the parts of town where we receive flood irrigation from Salt River Project. $65 a year, 18 water deliveries, total 3 acre feet. Water rights! I actually, just like an old western with a feud between the settlers and the rachers, have water rights! As a result of having water, I also have good arable land.
i vow never to have a lawn unless I can afford to pay someone to mow it.
My rates are reasonable.
Durbin thing makes me puke. Fucking asked for it, with Pol Pot. (Just because we know Chimpy would love to be Pol Pot, it's not true about Gitmo today, and how can a professional pol say things that the fascists will instantly pounce on to discredit them?)

We have a lovely man who mows our yard in Dallas - Jose. He formed his own company and he's doing quite well.
Up here the rabbits usually take care of the little strip of grass I have between me and my neighbors. The rabbits didn't nest under my porch this year however - I think because of the neighbor's cat. I don't have a mower so I get out there and crawl around with grass clippers. Pretty funny sight.
Tena - these are the mowers for you. And, they cost a big $6.00 to get sharpened once a year - once the guys at the True Value stop laughing at it....
Army: Captain won't be charged in deaths
Published: June 17th, 2005
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - An Army captain investigated for allegedly ordering his troops to kill suspected Iraqi insurgents in retaliation for a deadly U.S. base attack will not be prosecuted, Army officials said Friday.
A prosecutor last month said he submitted three pages of possible charges against Capt. Matthew Cunningham, including solicitation of murder and involuntary manslaughter, and was waiting on his superiors to file charges.
But 10 days later, Staff Sgt. Shane Werst, one of Cunningham's subordinates who shot an Iraqi during a raid, was acquitted of murder.
Lt. Col. Jonathan Withington, a 4th Infantry Division spokesman, said the case against Cunningham "lost prosecutorial merit." He would have been tried at Fort Hood, Texas, where the 4th Infantry Division is based.
Cunningham, 31, earlier asked to be released from active duty because he completed his service. That request was denied while he was under investigation, but he left the Army Friday after his case was cleared.
His attorney, Richard Stevens, called the allegations devastating and unfair.
"He feels vindicated and wants to put it behind him and move on," Stevens said.
In January 2004, the day after Capt. Eric Paliwoda was killed in a mortar attack on a U.S. base in Balad, Iraq, Cunningham was accused of giving soldiers a list of suspected Iraqi insurgents who "were not to come back alive" if they were found during raids, prosecutors said.
About a dozen Iraqis were detained that night. Two were killed - including one by Werst, who testified that he shot the Iraqi as he tried to grab another soldier's gun.
Cunningham was one of three officers reprimanded last year for trying to cover up another incident in which armed U.S. soldiers forced two Iraqi curfew violators into the Tigris River. One of the Iraqis allegedly drowned, and a platoon leader and sergeant both were charged in the incident.
A manslaughter charge against 1st Lt. Jack Saville was dropped after he pleaded guilty to lesser charges in connection with the incident. Saville, who was sentenced to 45 days in prison, agreed to testify against Cunningham.
Saville's co-defendant, Sgt. 1st Class Tracy Perkins, was acquitted of manslaughter in January but convicted of assault and obstruction of justice. He was sentenced to six months in prison.

Back from the market and it was SPECTACULAR.
Stawberries are wonderful. Rhubarb and tomatoes, Asparagus and spinach!!
MMMMMMM (Good things about living in a small town: the farmers's market on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Getting from one end of town to the other in fifteen minutes. No traffic to speak of . . . Five minutes to work in the morning. Deer in the backyard. Turkeys all over the place. Quiet nights. )
"lawn? oy. i vow never to have a lawn unless I can afford to pay someone to mow it.
Atrios"
The lawn: stupidest motherfucking thing ever developed. If the wife didn't take care of it, I'd pave it.
GWPDA - Yah, I've actually thought quite seriously of getting a little push mower. I sure as hell don't want or need a power mower - there isn't that much grass and they stink and pollute the place up.
I haven't gotten one, GWPDA, because as I said, usually the grass doesn't need mowing. The rabbits keep it nibbled down. But if the rabbits are going to desert me for good, I'll have to do something.

Sharkbabe
I only half agree with you Sharkbabe. What Durbin actually said is a little different than what the attack dogs say he said. here is a sample of that.
Jeb is even more dangerous than George by virtue of the fact that he can put two sentences together in a logical order without sounding like a complete idiot.

I'm sure, and I know it has some redeeming qualities. But god how we suburbanites fetish it.
It requires so much care and resources . Whoever dreamed up the concept of a grass yard should be drawn and quartered.
SKULL AND BONES FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so killer tobacco gets a PASS WHY? ASK CHIMPY!!
The newly disclosed documents make clear that the decision was made after weeks of tumult in the department and accusations from lawyers on the tobacco team that Mr. McCallum and other political appointees had effectively undermined their case. Mr. McCallum, No. 3 at the department, is a close friend of President Bush from their days as Skull & Bones members at Yale, and he was also a partner at an Atlanta law firm, Alston & Bird, that has done legal work for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, part of Reynolds American, a defendant in the case.
"Everyone is asking, 'Why now?' " said a Justice Department employee involved in the case who insisted on anonymity for fear of retaliation. "Why would you throw the case down the toilet at the very last hour, after five years?"
Ultimately, Mr. McCallum overruled the objections from the trial team, and the documents and interviews suggest that his senior aides took the unusual step of writing parts of the closing argument that Ms. Eubanks delivered last week in federal court in seeking the reduction in penalties.
Officials who insisted on anonymity said the change on the penalties provoked such strong objections from the trial team that some lawyers threatened to quit. Department officials have now proposed that a lower-level lawyer who has outlined the reasons for reduced penalties take over crucial parts of the remainder of the trial.
COUGH COUGH COUGH
But god how we suburbanites fetish it.
Nah, I just mow it every once in a while. I couldn't fetishise Bermuda grass if I tried. I can't even kill it....
Diane, well said. Totally agree with you.
Speaking of lawn mowing...
See you later.
Official Had Aide Send Data to White House
WASHINGTON, June 17 - E-mail messages obtained by investigators at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting show that its chairman, Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, extensively consulted a White House official shortly before she joined the corporation about creating an ombudsman's office to monitor the balance and objectivity of public television and radio programs.
Mr. Tomlinson said in an interview three months ago that he did not think he had instructed a subordinate to send material on the ombudsman project to Mary C. Andrews at her White House office in her final days as director of global communications, a political appointment.
But the e-mail messages show that a month before the interview, he directed Kathleen Cox, then president of the corporation, to send material to Ms. Andrews at her White House e-mail address. They show that Ms. Andrews worked on a variety of ombudsman issues before joining the corporation, while still on the White House payroll. And they show that the White House instructed the corporation on Ms. Andrews's job title in her new post.
…snip
In a little-noticed speech on the floor of the Senate this week, Senator Byron L. Dorgan, Democrat of North Dakota, said that in response to his request for the reports on the "Now" program, Mr. Tomlinson provided him with the raw data from reports.
Mr. Dorgan said that Senator Chuck Hagel, Republican of Nebraska, was classified in the data as a "liberal" for an appearance on a segment of a show that questioned the Bush Administration's policies in Iraq. Mr. Hagel is considered a mainstream conservative with a maverick streak and a willingness to criticize the White House.
Another segment about financial waste at the Pentagon was classified as "anti-Defense," Mr. Dorgan said. He criticized Mr. Tomlinson for spending taxpayer money for studies to examine programs "to see if something is being said that might be critical about a president or Congress."
Lawns are great. I'd rather fall in some grass than on some rocks. As a kid, I used to fall a lot.... on rocks. I have a great many scars on my knees to prove it!
About failing in Iraq, I think one point that catches on with the freepers is that Rumsfeld committed just enough troops to piss off the Iraqis and have us lose. They won't concede the principle (illegal invasion), but will concede the point of incompetent leadership -- and that's a start.
While Jeb's looking through old cases like Terri Schaivo, HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?
Was it ever established how Noelle smuggled crack into a rehab facility?
Could Jeb have been her supplier?
Hey -- I'm just asking.
We have 2 acres and I mow about .5 acres. The rest is meadow or woods.
This season I've only mowed the front yard once, and even Cairo is hard to see in the back right now. I'd cut it this weekend, but it's rainy. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Schiavo's Life and Death
Published: June 18, 2005
To the Editor:
The New York Times's grotesque and chilling disrespect for the sanctity of life has never been more apparent than in your June 16 editorial "Autopsy on the Schiavo Tragedy."
Terri Schiavo was a deeply loved daughter, wife, sister and friend. The fact that her brain was atrophied or that she was blind or could not have been rehabilitated doesn't change that fact.
While many medical professionals said she was in a persistent vegetative state, still other highly respected neurologists said there was a chance that she was not.
In cases where patients do not have an expressed written directive regarding end-of-life decisions and where the patient's guardian has a conflict of interest, it only makes sense to err on the side of life.
Terri's life and her death remind us all that life is fragile and must be valued.
Despite claims of cynicism and being "agenda-driven," we will continue to strive to protect our most vulnerable citizens. All innocent human life is precious, and government has a duty to protect the weak, the disabled and the vulnerable.

Whoever dreamed up the concept of a grass yard should be drawn and quartered.
I hear ya there. But it's stretching the concept to call my grass yard a "lawn."
It's more like A Compelling Argument For the Widespread Distribution and Sale of Agent Orange.
They show that Ms. Andrews worked on a variety of ombudsman issues before joining the corporation, while still on the White House payroll. And they show that the White House instructed the corporation on Ms. Andrews's job title in her new post.
Un-fucking-believable. Every single thing about this admin screams FASCIST!
Sharkbabe, I understand your frustration. But realize that Rove will build a trap around anything a Dem says. Remember the outrage over Dean's saying the Repugs were a white Christian party? Like those are such pejorative terms....
bkny,
My head exploded when I read that tripe from Jeb the terrible. That insane rat bastard has abused his position and taxpayer dollars long enough chasing this loser. Since he is so fond of sticking his snout into other peoples private medical affairs, may I suggest that the Florida lege. pass a law mandating that all current and future Bu$hes be sterilized? For the good of humanity?
It requires so much care and resources . Whoever dreamed up the concept of a grass yard should be drawn and quartered.

the great american lawn is a throwback to the English country estate, landed gentry, and the petit bourgeois envy of the aristocracy...
having a lawn in the desert is very nearly an environmental crime...
some grasses are water-efficient, but not the goddam radient green shit (blue grasses, etc) promoted by the fuckers at ORTHO...
if you have a 'lawn,' let it try to survive on local rainfall...if it can't, then fuck it: out here, we call it xeriscape...

"the great american lawn is a throwback to the English country estate, landed gentry, and the petit bourgeois envy of the aristocracy..."
Yes, of course. But have we not gleefully discarded other English customs? Why spare the lawn?
The lawn is oppression, a constant tax, an empty symbol, a parasite.
The Washington Post is an influential paper, so the more people who register complaints about their DSM coverage, the better. Take a few minutes, it could make a difference. I suggest people address their remarks to Getler, the Post's ombudsman. To maximize your persuasiveness, you may want to consider that the Post's reputation as a world class newspaper is specifically valuable to them, not how well their political views match yours. This is my email from yesterday morning:
To: Michael Getler
ombudsman@washpost.com
As a long time reader of the Washington Post, I'm compelled for the first time to comment. IMO, Dana Milbank's piece in today's WaPo on Conyer's DSM forum is a disservice to your readers. Conyer's forum deserved some objective coverage by your paper; instead Milbank's report patently trivializes this deadly serious issue by focusing on misplaced ridicule. As this represents the totality of your coverage, it strikes me as a willful editorial distortion, and I object.

Woody - I call it flood irrigation. I also without fear at all, will hang on to the bit of lawn I have for two extremely sound reasons. First of all, all forms of vegetation will reduce the ambient temperature around my house by between 10-15degrees. Secondly, by keeping the ground covered, I am preventing the erosion and destruction of the soil. As you know, soil erosion even in small amounts adds incrementally to the chronic pollution of the Southwest - pollution which is primarily composed of dust, pollen, grit, sand and dirt. Equally, I would never consider throwing 'rocks' of any kind anywhere on the property because all that does is reflect the heat into the house and adjoining areas. Further, because I do have flood irrigation - our canals being established in around 1200 specifically for the purpose of providing water for the cultivation of the land - I am also able to plant and grow trees - lots of them. The eucalyptus in my front yard is now about 100' tall - and its shade in the summer means my house stays livable without a/c in the summer until the afternoon. Trees provide not only shade and reduce the ambient, but as well further enhance the air quality and add to the viability of the city itself. Not to mention that they produce a good crop.
This isn't suburbia - and it certainly isn't the Chihuahuan desert with its poor soil, altitude issues and variable climates. This is extremely fertile, agricultural land which has been under cultivation one way or another for something like a hundred years now. My house just happens to occupy a small portion of it. Living in a city with its fair share of asphalt, pavement and cement, this is one way of ameliorating a little bit of the heat island issue which has to be dealt with in other ways than turning on the a/c.
Jeb is even more dangerous than George by virtue of the fact that he can put two sentences together in a logical order without sounding like a complete idiot.
Dave
Well, this Schiavo thing is making him look like a complete idiot!
They can't leave well enough alone, can they?
It's more than that, Terry C. They will not admit to a mistake and will never apologize for anything.
GWPDA raises a number of good points, however what she describes is not what is recognized as the suburban lawn.
For the suburbanite, the rituals begin in early Spring. First, the lawnmower must be attended to. Drain the oil and find a place to discard it. God knows most of it probably ends up in old plastic bottles in a landfill. Change the spark plug, oil the wheels. Sharpen the blade. As most people lack even rudimentary hand skills, more often the blade is just thrown out after puchasing another.
Before the last snowfall and before the snowshovels can even be safely stowed, the homeowner begins to obsess that their magic carpet will be overtaken by opportunistic and much more hardy 'weeds'. So, out come the chemicals and the devices to spread them. Another 'tool' that is a must-own, used for about 2 hours an entire year, and demands a place of storage for the other 364 days, 22 hours.
Just as the snow disappears, we now need to feed our habit. More chemicals and more machines. Dethatchers, aereators, hoses and sprinklers.
For 3 weeks our passion grows, well, like a weed. Yet, we look to our neighbors with fear and loathing. Because they lack our conviction, they have the dreaded dandilion! White snowballs of seed, awaiting even the gentlest of winds whereupon their feared cargo will take to the air to infect the sterlility of our perfect, unspoiled green.
Meanwhile, we curse the fruits of our labors! After so much tending, our lawns now give us exactly what we dreamed...in spades. Now we fret how quickly it grows. We can't keep up with cutting it. It is the 4 hour Viagra hardon. We curse the rain and pray for a dry day so we can cut it back again. We must do so, for there are both legal codes that compell us to conform and unwritten suburbanite codes of honor. We look for that small window of opportunity after work when we can race home, postpone dinner until late evening, disrupt our schedule.
During this period there is no peace, the sounds of lawnmowers, lawnmowers at every hour. No more peaceful evenings, and many mornings that should be spent in that hazy, wonderful place inbetween sleep and the first cup of coffee are ruined as the sounds of more mowers intrude into our bedrooms, carried on the otherwise gentle breezes we've dreamed of all winter.
Verdant and lush, we are briefly rewarded only to be betrayed by the first warm and dry days when the precious green turns to brown. The only real greens are the solitary dandilions we've failed to exterminate. They mock our folly.
Is this the image of our Democracy?
Hey cats,
AP just posted new DS minutes about dinner with Condi.

Bush and the neo cons came to power with the oil and strategic merits of Iraq at the top of their agenda. 9/11 allowed them to hoodwink a ill-educated and misinformed population on both sides of the Atlantic into believing we needed to invade Iraq. Anecdotal evidence has revealed that the meetings held in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 focused on a single objective: linking Iraq to 9/11. The existence of this memo is no great revelation. The real scandal here is the ignorance of the American media to these documents. This once great institution, now led, in my view, by right wing propaganda merchants, is failing its citizens on every possible level. The most powerful country in the world is also the least informed, and its media is to blame.

Florida GOP Trying To Thwart Harris' Senate Bid
Gov. Jeb Bush and the White House are pushing House Speaker Allan Bense to challenge fellow Republican Katherine Harris for the U.S. Senate, fearing her candidacy would damage the GOP's chances in that race and the governor's contest next year.
After all she did for them in 2000?
