A&E Pulls 'Dog The Bounty Hunter' Series From Schedule
(AP) - Television bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman's show has been pulled from the air indefinitely by A&E, two days after a private phone conversation in which the reality star used a racial slur repeatedly was posted online.
"In evaluating the circumstances of the last few days, A&E has decided to take 'Dog The Bounty Hunter' off the network's schedule for the foreseeable future," the network said in a statement Friday. "We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun."
A&E officials said the series, one of the network's top-rated programs, has not been canceled.
Chapman, 54, has been under fire and accused of being a racist ever since the private conversation with his son, Tucker Chapman, was posted online Wednesday by The National Enquirer. Chapman used the N-word repeatedly about his son's black girlfriend.
At least two advertisers have pulled out from the show and civil rights groups have called for the show's cancellation.

Since Judge Mukasey’s situation is not unlike that facing Elliot Richardson when he was appointed Attorney General during Watergate, why should not the Senate Judiciary Committee similarly make it a quid pro quo for his confirmation that he appoint a special prosecutor to investigate war crimes? Richardson was only confirmed when he agreed to appoint a special prosecutor, which, of course, he did. And when Nixon fired that prosecutor, Archibald Cox, it lead to his impeachment.

Exclusive: Only Three Have Been Waterboarded by CIA
Hayden sought and received approval from the White House to remove waterboarding from the list of approved interrogation techniques first authorized by a presidential finding in 2002.
Of course the real outrage was not how many times the white house approved torture was used but that the white house approved torture.
Link also includes an ugly list of approved torture.
"3. The Belly Slap: A hard open-handed slap to the stomach. The aim is to cause pain, but not internal injury. Doctors consulted advised against using a punch, which could cause lasting internal damage."
They can't cause any lasting damage. Bruised internal organs? OK. And what if they go too far? Ooops didn't mean to.
"4. Longtime Standing: This technique is described as among the most effective. Prisoners are forced to stand, handcuffed and with their feet shackled to an eye bolt in the floor for more than 40 hours. Exhaustion and sleep deprivation are effective in yielding confessions."
If your feet are shackled to an eye bolt in the floor you could just sit down... unless your wrists were shackled to the ceiling.

I'm sure part of Citigroup's current problems can be traced to Prince authorizing riskier and riskier deals in the hopes of making those numbers sexier.

Abizaid: Mideast wars may last 50 years
Thu Nov 1, 3:41 AM ET
PITTSBURGH - It might take as long as half a century before U.S. troops can leave the volatile Middle East, according to retired Army Gen. John Abizaid.
"Over time, we will have to shift the burden of the military fight from our forces directly to regional forces, and we will have to play an indirect role, but we shouldn't assume for even a minute that in the next 25 to 50 years the American military might be able to come home, relax and take it easy, because the strategic situation in the region doesn't seem to show that as being possible," Abizaid said Wednesday at Carnegie Mellon University.

a) Because any such agreement is unenforceable once he becomes AG?
b) Because he promised Schumer he'd enforce a law banning waterboarding if the Congress passes it. Which, of course, it won't, because Chimpy would veto it. And even then, Mukasey would interpret what they are (Not!) doing (because it's classified, you have to trust the AG!) as being outside the scope of the law, so....

D'oh! i recalled incorrectly
he Knights' involvement in banking grew over time into a new basis for money, as Templars became increasingly involved in banking activities. One indication of their powerful political connections is that the Templars' involvement in usury did not lead to more controversy within the Order and the church at large. Officially the idea of lending money in return for interest was forbidden by the church, but the Order sidestepped this with clever loopholes, such as a stipulation that the Templars retained the rights to the production of mortgaged property. Or as one Templar researcher put it, "Since they weren't allowed to charge interest, they charged rent instead." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

If anybody is shocked that Dog uses the n-word off camera and refuses to give permission to any of his kids to date black people, they need to wake up and get a clue, because aside from the long hair and biker image, Dog and his wife are run o' the mill trailer-trash rednecks.

“Longtime Standing: This technique is described as among the most effective. Prisoners are forced to stand, handcuffed and with their feet shackled to an eye bolt in the floor for more than 40 hours. Exhaustion and sleep deprivation are effective in yielding confessions.”
They make someone stand for 40 hours by shackling the wrists to the ceiling. The fun starts when their legs are too weak to hold them up. The torturee starts to suffocate because their full weight pulling on their arms causes hyper expansion of the lungs. It’s the same idea behind crucifixion. Slowy suffocate the victim.

True story. I am working in a jobs program for homeless vets. A guy in a wheelchair shows up at the homeless shelter that only accepts veterans today and tells me "You are tall, like Paul Bunyon" can you sing that song for me?"
I retort "Huh".
He then asks what I do.
I tell him I work with homeless vets to get them housing and jobs.
He said he was with a state militia and does he qualify.
I ask him if he meant the national guard.
He says, "No, I mean one of the right wing militias. I was a member until a tree fell on me".
I especially loved all the RightWing Authoritarian research that he talked about.

Mr. Prince doesn't have an employment contract or any specified termination benefits, beyond his pension. But he appears to be eligible to depart with cash and equity valued at roughly $31 million, according to Citigroup's filings with the SEC. Most of that -- roughly $28 million -- reflects the value of approximately 744,000 shares of restricted stock that Mr. Prince was granted over the past four years, based on Friday's 4 p.m. price of $37.73.
Quite a reward for destroying the company.

The flying buttress, or arc-boutant, is used to transmit the thrust of a vault across an intervening space (which might be an aisle, chapel or cloister), to a buttress outside the building. The employment of the flying buttress means that the load bearing walls can contain cut-outs, such as for large windows, that would otherwise seriously weaken the vault walls.
The purpose of a buttress was to reduce the load on the vault wall. The majority of the load is carried by the upper part of the buttress, so making the buttress as a semi-arch provides almost the same load bearing capability, yet in a much lighter as well as a much cheaper structure. As a result, the buttress flies through the air, rather than resting on the ground and hence is known as a flying buttress.

DC Exile--I campaigned for Gene McCarthy---"Get Clean for Gene" was a slogan encouraging the long-haired types to trim the beards and hair for canvassing. Think that means I'm older than you.
I'm PO'd too--disappointed, frustrated, thinking WTF can we do to get these Congressional Dems to stand up to BushBoy. I don't know.
Sometimes I think it's a good thing I'm as old as I am because if our government gets much worse I won't have much time to suffer under it. But, our children....
What to do?
We make calls. We send postcards. We send emails. Nice (and sometimes not so nice) young people answer the phones, take our messages. We make contributios as we can afford. And we hope for spines. And balls.
What we need are people who act based on principles and values. Not fear of election dirty tricks and 30 second ads. We need politically savvy people as well. Who can play the game as the ReThugs have changed it. Without becoming like them.
But I do not know what to do. I keep hoping, nonetheless, because getting another ReThug in the presidency will cement the powers and breakdowns BushCo has put in place. They will get 2-3 Supreme Court nominations. Those cannot be made by a ReThug.
The only hope we have for movement on climate change is getting a Dem in--and then working like hell to keep their feet to the figurative fire and actual warming.

Okay, so: Missouri’s Republican Governor Matt Blunt decides that if it’s good enough for Dubya, it’s good enough for him, and starts deleting e-mails, in direct violation of the state’s sunshine laws. Staff attorney Scott Eckersley points out that breaking the law is, in fact, illegal. So Blunt, of course, fires him.
Since Eckersley wouldn’t keep his fool trap shut, Blunt and his staff set about trying to smear and discredit Eckersley, and claim that he was fired for performance and behavioral reasons, and that he never said anything about the e-mail deletions being illegal.
Now here’s the beauty part: As part of the smear campaign, BluntCo. released a whole bunch of Eckersley’s e-mails to the media… including the one where he warned that deleting e-mails was illegal. Brilliant!

There's even video of the Gov. being a total idiot.

JP, rest assured, no matter what dumb mistake you made with emails at work, you'll NEVER be as dumb as a Rethug.
