Yeah, sure. Little Timmeh will certainly NOT bring up Plame, Rove or Novak. He knows what side his bread is buttered on. He will most assuredly not bring up anything that reflects badly on BushCo. Gosh, if Tim-meh brings up the Plame investigation, me might not get Cheney, Rummy or Condi to appear on MTP.

Dunno if anybody here listens to Chris Lydon on NPR, but he's got a new show called Open Source. Had a show a few weeks ago on this very topic: Jeffrey Sachs on Kenya.
He's got an associated blog, takes program suggestions from comments, and posts MP3s of the shows. Check it out.

What happens to Bush/Cheney/White House if Rove is actually (in fact) a traitor?
Nixon corrupted the integrity of US democracy for purely political reasons; Rove has corrupted US national security AND democracy for purely political reasons.
When Mr. Villaraigosa introduced Mr. Gore, the crowd of about 2,000 gathered on the south lawn of city hall cheered heartily. A moment later, he acknowledged the presence of Governor Schwarzenegger, a Republican, who was met with a lusty chorus of boos. Mr. Villaraigosa quieted the crowd saying, "Excuse me, there will be civility today."

There's a whole sequence in the backwards "Revolution #9" that starts with a car crash, a guy screaming as he's engulfed by flames, followed by a choir of heavenly angels.
Lennon loved putting those tapes together. It was somewhat more than album filler, as he did several entire albums of just this sort of stuff.
BTW, I like to think if Lennon were alive today, he'd be sampling and rapping like a motherfucker!
And every album would have two weird-assed Yoko songs where she's screeching like a chicken.

And every album would have two weird-assed Yoko songs where she's screeching like a chicken.
U.S. military deaths in Iraq increased by about one-third in the past year, even as Iraq established its own government and assumed more responsibility for battling the insurgency.
At least 882 U.S. troops died in the 12 months through Thursday, up from 657 in the preceding year, according to a USA TODAY analysis of Defense Department numbers. Iraqis assumed sovereignty a year ago this week, part of a U.S. strategy to lessen the visibility of U.S. troops and shift more responsibility for security to Iraq forces.
Lately, insurgents have made roadside bombs deadlier and deployed more car and suicide bombs.
Marine Lt. Gen. James Conway said at a Pentagon briefing Thursday that insurgents are increasing their use of the type of attack "that gives you the big blast and possibly causes more casualties."
"The insurgency is shifting all the time," Maj. Gen. William Webster, commander of U.S. troops in Baghdad, said recently. "This is a learning enemy."
In June, 79 U.S. servicemembers died in Iraq, about as many as in May.
President Bush has counseled patience with the mission. In marking the anniversary of sovereignty Tuesday night, he warned that there will be "tough moments that test America's resolve" in Iraq.
The insurgents' continually shifting tactics have frustrated U.S. and Iraqi military efforts to halt their attacks. For example, offensives in Fallujah and other insurgent strongholds deprived the militants of havens and forced them to scatter them throughout the country. The insurgents then regrouped in scattered pockets. The increasing use of car bombs may be part of the insurgents' reaction to the offensives that took away their secure bases.
Car bombs inflict maximum damage with minimum resources, Air Force Brig. Gen. Donald Alston, the chief U.S. military spokesman in Iraq, said Thursday.
"They've gone to more spectacular systems that could inflict more casualties per attack, likely because they can't sustain a high volume of attacks," Alston said.
The military cautions against drawing conclusions from spikes in violence. Attacks typically come in waves, and militants use the lulls between those waves to regroup, train and choose new targets.
For example, there were a record 140 car bombs in May and 135 in April. In June, the number dropped to 70, plus 18 that were discovered before they were detonated, according to the U.S. military.
Insurgents have also created more dangerous roadside bombs designed to penetrate the American military's heavily armored vehicles. "Shaped charges" are designed to concentrate the blast in a single area, increasing the chance of penetrating armor.
"We have lost soldiers and/or Marines to some of these devices," Conway said at an earlier briefing.
U.S. troops continue to train Iraqi forces. There are currently more than 168,500 trained and equipped Iraqi security forces, though not all are battle-ready.

Someone once said if Jimi Hendrix were alive today, he'd be singing "Ebony and Ivory" with Paul McCartney at some Casino venue. I'm not sure, but maybe that's one case where artisically it's better to die young.
Lennon doin' a sampled rap version of "I Dig a Pony" might be fun.

Sallyh - I'm not sure what options you've explored, but CBT has been shown to be very effective at treating panic attacks. Being in psychology, I am biased toward suggesting trying therapy first over meds, but the main thing is to get treatment from a professional trained in anxiety disorders, preferably the Craske and Barlow program. Most psychiatrists and primary care docs are not.

Why Bushco keeps desperately trying to redefine what "winning" in Iraq means.
But the studies consulted by the White House show that in the long run public support for war is "mostly linked to whether you think you can prevail," [White House counselor Dan Bartlett] added, which is one reason it is important for Bush to explain "why he thinks it's working and why he thinks it'll win."
