The spot portrays Schmidt and Taft as a not-law firm and in effect ties her to Taft's corrupt ass, mentions the tax increases she voted for and the corruption she's tied up with.
It's good. Kinda mocking, which is the perfect tone.

This is interesting. In this post a right-winger basically admits, Yes, we might have to meet the Dems half way if we ever get around to sticking to this "universal healthcare" thing.
Maybe, just maybe, the kids who run our little political party will figure out that having people around loudly making bold proposals changes the political discussion in our favor, instead of hurting us. Maybe even our friends Dee and Elsie will figure out the same thing.

Since its debut June 13, the bow-tied conservative's show has averaged 201,000 viewers, 25 percent fewer than its time-slot predecessor, "The Abrams Report," had in May, according to Nielsen Media Research.
MSNBC President Rick Kaplan says he had really planned all along to air "The Situation" at 11 p.m.
Ol' Tucker says he "couldn't be more psyched." Even in print, though, he sounds like Scott McClellan saying, "I'm glad you asked me that," while being grilled about Traitorgate.

Rita Cosby leaving Fox News Channel
May 14, 2005, 2:54 GMT
NEW YORK, NY, United States (UPI) -- Rita Cosby, host of two weekend shows on Fox News Channel, is departing immediately.
Daily Variety reports that Cosby and the cable network were unable to agree on terms for a contract extension.
Cosby`s two shows were "The Big Story Weekend Edition With Rita Cosby" at 9 p.m. Saturday and Fox News Live With Rita Cosby" at 6 p.m. Sunday.
Fox has made no announcements yet on a Cosby replacement or on whether the shows will continue with other hosts.

Hassert on Fitzgerald
Hastert also weighed in Thursday on comments made by former U.S. Sen. Peter Fitzgerald that there is mounting political pressure to oppose the reappointment of U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald this fall, in light of his aggressive prosecution of government corruption in Illinois.
"He serves at the pleasure of the president of the United States," Hastert told a correspondent for the Tribune Broadcasting News Network.
Go to bottom of article, about a reward local GOP honcho put out on Daley in regard to payrole corruption scandal ongoing there, in which Fitz is involved I think.

re the 300 boy scouts who were overcome by heat on Wednesday - seems they had a passle of rules since the prez was coming in. No metal belt buckles, etc., they could have water bottles, but they had to dump out the water before going through security check. Bottles to be refilled on the other side. So several thousand (at least) boy scouts going through security check, long lines to refill their water, took the expected toll in the blistering heat. Then they're all waiting for georgie to show, and when the announcement was made he wasn't showing, they booed him.

Fla. software company seeks an accounting
By Marcus Stern
COPLEY NEWS SERVICE
July 29, 2005
A Florida software company will ask a San Diego receivership judge today to order an accounting of $3.5 million in federal money that Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham helped a small group of political contributors and constituents obtain through a contract with the Internal Revenue Service.
Integrated Actuarial Services of Ormond Beach, Fla., says the Rancho Santa Fe Republican, acting in his role as a member of the House Appropriations Committee, pressed the IRS to pursue an auditing project that led to a contract benefiting the San Diego group.
The group, which includes two residents of Cunningham's district, incorporated in 1999 as First Auditors for the express purpose of pursuing the IRS auditing contract. None of them had an accounting background, and First Auditors had no other projects or clients.
IAS, the Florida company, claims that First Auditors acted as little more than a shell company and used a Washington lobbyist and Cunningham's help to win the contract. IAS also claims that First Auditors improperly pocketed most of the money the IRS paid out in connection with the auditing contract, despite having almost no responsibilities under it.

The U.S. Army will pull out of 13 bases in southern Germany as part of its repositioning of American forces around the world, its European headquarters said Friday.
But [Alison Stewart's] got the wit and political incisiveness worthy of the program.
Right on! The first time I saw her fill in for a week, I thought she was trying too hard, but now that she's become the default backup host, she's really eased into it and does a great job.
I thought Alex Witt was great, too. Some people didn't like her, but I thought she was sly and Carole Lombard-y.
Chris Jansing, on the other hand, just couldn't catch the vibe. She's great, but too serious. She couldn't drop her Serious Newswoman persona for a one-night fill-in. She seemed kinda freaked out.
Can't say I blame her; it's her thing. She's a very devout Catholic, and she's got a new weekend show that's all about ethics. I guess she's just a real serious person.

Mrs DWD got mad at me tonight. I think it was as I passed an SUV with a SPORTSMEN FOR BUSH sticker on it. For some reason, really cannot explain it, but my middle finger suddenly got itchy . . .
She said, "You are losing it." I said, "These rotten bastards are ruining my country, don't you care?" Apparently she does not for she replied, "And what effect does it have on you?"
I did not reply, but I could have. How about cutting funding for education? Fighting a war for no reason? A thousand jobs lost in the last two months in Muskegon? CAFTA? Bankruptcy bill? $2.35 a gallon gasoline with record oil company profits? Thwarting the will of the people as expressed by Congress?
Omnes, there are locations all over the state where you can help out, be it phones or whatever. Go to Hackett's web site for the info. I hesitate to post all the contact info for the trolls. Or, drop me an email and I can send the info to you.

Fierce battle erupts between warring gangs in Mexican border town
BY SUSANA HAYWARD
Knight Ridder Newspapers
NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico - (KRT) - Warring Mexican gangs fought a pitched battle with bazookas and grenades late Thursday in a middle-class neighborhood of this border city, terrorizing citizens who say they live in a "Baghdad-like" war zone.
The battle was so fierce that the U.S. ambassador in Mexico City announced Friday that he was closing the consulate here until at least Aug. 8. The announcement called the battle "an alarming incident" that involved "unusually advanced weaponry." U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza said U.S. officials will use the week to assess security.
For more than 30 minutes Thursday, the sharp report of automatic-weapons fire, punctuated by thumping explosions, could be heard throughout this city. After the fighting had ended, the street where the confrontation had taken place bore all the signs of combat. The house at the fighting's center was riddled with holes the size of melons. Part of it had collapsed. A building across the street was pocked with holes, indicating a fierce response with heavy weapons.
Hundreds of bullet casings from AK-47 assault rifles and other weapons littered the street. Cars, many with Texas plates, lay like victims, their windows shattered and their bodies scourged by bullet holes.
There was no official police version of the events Friday. Police said no one had been injured or killed, but splotches of blood stained the streets when a reporter and photographer arrived minutes after the shooting stopped.
The battle offered a glimpse of the challenge facing the Mexican police and army as they try to root out rival drug gangs battling for control of this critical border region south of Texas. Some 300 heavily armed soldiers in tanks, accompanied by state, city and judicial police and federal investigators, cordoned off the street while they inspected the devastated house and talked to neighbors. Most neighbors claimed they'd heard nothing, even though the sound of explosions reverberated throughout this city of nearly half a million.
Those who did talk told a confusing tale of gunmen wearing the uniforms of the Federal Agency of Investigation, Mexico's FBI, arriving in front of the house at 2411 Mexicali Street in southern Nuevo Laredo, about two miles from the U.S. border, at about 8 p.m.
"Suddenly there were explosions; they launched bazookas and grenades and machine guns," said one man who witnessed the battle for about 20 minutes. Standing in a corner, the man pleaded that his name be withheld. "They'll kill me. It's become so dangerous," he said before rushing off into the night.
Some neighbors said the fighting started earlier. "My husband and I went out at 6 p.m. because we started hearing gunshots, but then there were more and more and more until it sounded like explosions, bombs, and we went back home scared," said a woman who would give her name only as Hilda. Hilda said she lives in the adjacent neighborhood of Guerrero, next to the Madero suburb where the fighting took place.
A state policeman who asked not to be identified said investigators searching the house found photographs of 14 municipal police officers and a list of other officials "sentenced to death." He said the photos carried the men's names, nicknames, their ranks and home addresses.
Police at the site also said they found three AK-47 rifles, a grenade, two handguns, ski masks and hundreds of bullets of different calibers.
Authorities wouldn't comment on why they thought the house had been targeted. Some neighbors and police claimed it was a safe house used by drug smugglers or kidnappers.
"It was some kind of reprisal by drug gangs who want to control this city," said one federal police agent. Like the rest, he asked that his name not be used. "If our names or faces appear in the news, we're dead. That's the way it is here."
" On her personal website, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter linked to a Drudge Report item on Hearst Newspapers columnist Helen Thomas's alleged vow to "kill herself" should Vice President Dick Cheney run for president. Thomas, a former White House correspondent for United Press International, is of Lebanese descent. The link, listed on the website's front page under the heading "Quotations from Chairman Ann," was accompanied by the statement: "What is it with these Arabs and suicide?"
Dingbust it, Ann is more clever than I ever imagined. And, she has perky breasts.

I don't really buy it. The cops aren't that stupid. They would have investigated it and busted her. It's not as if Courtney Love's all that popular that she would have gotten away with it.
And he wrote all of the music that her band released that was any good anyway. I can't imagine why she would have had any motive to kill him and make it look like a suicide.

Sorry to jump in, but my old bartender tricks included bitters and soda.
I wouldn't suggest it to just anybody, but since you're a serious cook, you just might have bitters and a siphon around.
Anyway, it works like a charm. A tall-ish glass of soda with enough bitters to turn it a pale pink, sipped slowly, will settle the most upset stomach.
It will involve some burping.

That's the classical solution, the one my mommy used to bring me, but the thing is that most ginger ale these days doesn't have any actual ginger in it.
Now, SallyH is the type to keep ginger root around, and she can shave it with a peeler and steep it in a hot sugar water, then cool it down.
I had a friend who made her own ginger ale by mixing this with club soda. It was 'licious. 'Course, in the old days, we had Rock Creek ginger ale, which was the real deal, see above.

You have identified the source of my discomfort for my country. I keep listening and reading the news and I wonder WTF?
The differentiation between people who have money and the vast majority who are just trying to tread water is growing. No shortage of McMansions, but affordable housing?
We have lost two of the best sources of jobs in the city of Muskegon in the last two months. About a thousand people laid off. While that might not seem like much, there are only about 40K in the city. This is going to be devastating.
I posted this morning that 17 soldiers had died since last Friday. Tonight it is 18. Not a damned word in the papers or on the news.

Speaking of which - how are the sinuses? Did you ever go to the doctor?
I did.
I'm taking 1000 mg of some really strong antibiotics for the next 3 weeks.
So while I still feel like shit, I at least know I'll probably feel better in a few days.
And I'm still a veterinarian.

Let's takes a hard look at Air America's latest explanation for the public funding mess involving NYC non-profits:
There are a couple of other rather large glaring holes in this statement. If Gloria Wise went under, was that due to the fact that they were short about half a million in cash? If so, it more or less leads you to believe that the money has not been "actually repaid" but is still in "agreed to be repaid" land.
Second, given that Gloria Wise is now closed, how will the money now be repaid? Isn't this a handy loophole for Air America to jump through? "Gosh, we'd really like to repay them - in fact, we agreed to repay them, but due to some unforseen circumstance, they went under. Weird. Oh well, nothing to be done now."
Unless I am missing something in this statement, that is exactly the position Air America is currently taking: we agreed to repay this months ago, but Gloria Wise doesn't exist anymore...
Also raising eyebrows: that bizarre summer camp compensation arrangement noted at the end of Air America's statement.
Why do Air America and its liberal defenders hate me?

Beautiful Rosie, as usual, Mary.
When Lee (young DWD) was a baby he was the most contented child imaginable. He used to sit on Mom's lap until he was tired and then he would sleep on her stomach as we sat in the evening. At this point he is 6'2" and about 200 lbs of rock hard muscle. He still likes to cuddle with her when he is not feeling well. He seems to have developed mono and has been mothered sufficiently.
Enjoy your children when you can take them in arms and look forward to when they can do the same for you.
True, ginger ale doesn't really have much (or any) ginger anymore, it's probably the carbonation that helps the upset.
Ginger tea is also an option.

Bartcop has his anger to keep him warm I notice. I find him hard to disagree with though.
Today in Iraq too (http://dailywarnews.blogspot.com/). I think they're both right on the mark. It's strange that of all the things that can get your point of view dismissed anger is at the top of the list. Not lying, not self-interest, anger.
Al Gore's speech last year rocked and the MSM dismissed it, not because he was wrong about he said, but because he had the temerity to say it passionately.

Well, that could be half your problem right there. You know a little bit about medicine.
Every good doctor worth his/her office call knows that the only thing that make sinuses any better is a class 4 narcotic - your vicodin, your darvocet (in a pinch), or whatever.
They'd almost advertise, but the market is full of boner drugs right now (and, we're sure you'll understand). It's better for an 80-year-old blind man to have a boner than for you to look after your kids.
God Bless America.

Al Franken steals money from kids and old folks
NYC abruptly cut off funds to the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club and its affiliate Pathways for Youth when an investigation determined that city money, running into the millions of dollars and destined for kids and old folks, had been redirected to Air America Radio.

Pay Lags Behind Inflation
Overall Economy Keeps Growing, Commerce Dept. Says
By Nell Henderson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, July 30, 2005; Page D01
Workers' pay and benefits rose more slowly than inflation in the second quarter, even as the U.S. economy expanded at a healthy pace, the government reported yesterday.
Employers' costs for wages, salaries and benefits rose 0.7 percent in the quarter, the same pace as in the first quarter and the smallest gain in six years, the Labor Department said.
Meanwhile, rising energy costs helped push consumer prices up at an annual 3.3 percent rate in the second quarter, while the economy grew at a 3.4 percent annual rate, the Commerce Department said in a separate report.
Together, the reports portrayed an economy that continues to produce more goods and services even while workers' pay gains are getting smaller, nearly four years after the end of the most recent recession. Businesses are holding down the growth of their labor costs through new technologies and management practices.
"The economy's doing fine, except if you figure in working families," said Jared Bernstein, senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute, a think tank focused on labor issues. "We're posting great numbers in aggregate demand, yet the lousiest on record for wage growth."
etc.
----
"except if you figure in working families"
"lousiest on record for wage growth"
Only the silliest Pollyanna would cheer the results of the wrecking crew that is ruining our economy.

A quibble - Soldiers load and lock, not the converse. If you lock, you cannot load. If you load and do not lock, your buddies may fear for their asses. "Lock and Load" trips more easily from the tongue but does not accord with infantry practice.
Here endeth the quibble from a grunt who never shot a buddy in the ass because "lock and load" sounded better.
