Buying of News by Bush's Aides Is Ruled Illegal
By ROBERT PEAR
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 - Federal auditors said on Friday that the Bush administration violated the law by buying favorable news coverage of President Bush's education policies, by making payments to the conservative commentator Armstrong Williams and by hiring a public relations company to analyze media perceptions of the Republican Party.
In a blistering report, the investigators, from the Government Accountability Office, said the administration had disseminated "covert propaganda" in the United States, in violation of a statutory ban.
The contract with Mr. Williams and the general contours of the public relations campaign had been known for months. The report Friday provided the first definitive ruling on the legality of the activities.
Lawyers from the accountability office, an independent nonpartisan arm of Congress, found that the administration systematically analyzed news articles to see if they carried the message, "The Bush administration/the G.O.P. is committed to education."
The auditors declared: "We see no use for such information except for partisan political purposes. Engaging in a purely political activity such as this is not a proper use of appropriated funds."

Apologies IF you've already seen this one...
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, "Just how many is a brazillion?"

http://www.freakonomics.com/
2005...eakonomics.html
2) Race is not an important part of the abortion-crime argument that John Donohue and I have made in academic papers and that Dubner and I discuss in Freakonomics. ... In other words, for most crimes a white person and a black person who grow up next door to each other with similar incomes and the same family structure would be predicted to have the same crime involvement.
7) There is one thing I would take Bennett to task for: first saying that he doesn't believe our abortion-crime hypothesis but then revealing that he does believe it with his comments about black babies. You can't have it both ways.
Covert propaganda is illegal? Hmmmm...

Bacharach, 77, known for classic pop songs like Alfie and Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head, says several tracks are critical of President Bush.
Dr Dre provides drum loops on three of the tracks on the album, At This Time, while other contributors include Elvis Costello and Rufus Wainwright.

It was so mild this evening that we cooked out on the patio, and guzzled a bottle of shiraz, and then had a finger of scotch or bourbon as one's tastebuds desired. And then the spouse of the house brought out the big kitty. Our kitties are indoor beasts, but this one is always interested in what's going on outside (but only if his people are outside). So he brought him out. And the kitty rested comfortably and calmly in his arms and sniffed around and around, stretching his neck in all directions, but never made a move to leave his person's warm embrace.
What a good beastie.

funny thing is that there isn't anything that exotic in my pies. They are comprised of.
Enough peeled, sliced crisp apples to overfill a pie crust + maybe a tart tin or two. (7 to 12 apples depending on size)
sugar,
cinnamon,
1/16th to 1/8th teaspoon of allspice,
small pinch of cloves
tablespoon to 2 tablespoons of arrowroot or cornstarch.
some zest from lemon.
tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
mix together.
egg/vinager crust,
paint the bottom of crust with beaten egg whites.
fill crust with apple mix,
place top crust on pie.
make twisted edge to seal the pie.
cut in top to release steam and excess juice.
paint top with either egg white or milk
put in pre-heated oven at 350F till crust is well browned, and you can see the filling is bubbling.
when cooled down enough to eat, cut and serve, or if you prefer cold pie, chill in refrigerator.

Biohazard sensors showed the presence of small amounts of potentially dangerous tularemia bacteria in the Mall area last weekend as huge crowds assembled, but health officials said they believed the levels were too low to be a threat.
Health authorities in the Washington area were notified last night that the bacteria were found in and near the area between the U.S. Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial, where crowds gathered Saturday for an antiwar rally and a book festival.
The notification, which came from federal health officials through the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, said that after the initial detection, subsequent tests "supported the presence of low levels" of the bacteria. However, officials also said they did not believe the findings posed a health problem.
"We pretty much feel there is no public health threat here," said Von Roebuck, a spokesman for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, noting that there have been no reports of tularemia, the disease that is caused by the bacteria. "We just wanted to alert the medical community to watch out for cases."

Hi Toby:
Just exposed you as a liar.
Here -- I'll repeat it.
For those coming in late, here's
the context.
Earlier I wrote:
Hey Tobes:
First time you got banned here,
you called it "a badge of honor."
Last time you got banned, you
entreated Atrios to reinstate you
because you liked the arguing.
Which is it?
To which the little sociopath
replied:
Simulacrum, I've never asked the proprietor of this site to reinstate my
commenting privileges.
And now the conclusion.....
WRONG!!!
LIAR!!!
Here's the quote -- and the link.
I sure wish Duncan Black would stop kicking me out of Eschaton. He knows how much
I enjoy going there to argue with his
regulars ---and a good argument is what that place needs. Without a little irritation,
how can you expect any pearls to throw
before the swine, Duncan? Come on! Get serious! That place is a circle-jerk.

Holy crap!
Cisneros Convicted in '99, But the Probe Goes On
This spring, Republicans and Democrats voiced outrage over the news that independent counsel David M. Barrett was still pursuing a decade-long, $21 million investigation into a crime long confessed and paid for.
...
It is not clear what Barrett's office is doing on a day-to-day basis, but the audit provided broad categories of expenditures. Barrett spent $464,009 on pay and benefits over six months; $24,014 on travel; $236,316 on rent, phone bills and utilities; $103,233 on contractors, mainly lawyers on retainer; and $74,178 on administrative services.
...
Barrett is the last independent counsel of the Clinton era, still in business six years after Cisneros pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about money he paid to a former mistress. Cisneros paid a $10,000 fine and a $25 court assessment in 1999 and was later pardoned by Clinton.
...
Barrett said he should be able to close his office by the beginning of 2006, once the three-judge panel overseeing his work decides whether his report can be released to the public. Barrett has been saying he is nearing completion of his work since 2003.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Tularemia
Español (Spanish)
Download PDF version formatted for print Adobe Acrobat Reader (144 KB/2 pages)
Q. What is tularemia?
A. Tularemia, also known as “rabbit fever,” is a disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. Tularemia is typically found in animals, especially rodents, rabbits, and hares. Tularemia is usually a rural disease and has been reported in all U.S. states except Hawaii.
Q. How do people become infected with tularemia?
A. Typically, people become infected through the bite of infected insects (most commonly, ticks and deerflies), by handling infected sick or dead animals, by eating or drinking contaminated food or water, or by inhaling airborne bacteria.
Q. Does tularemia occur naturally in the United States?
A. Yes. Tularemia is a widespread disease in animals. About 200 human cases of tularemia are reported each year in the United States. Most cases occur in the south-central and western states. Nearly all cases occur in rural areas, and are caused by the bites of ticks and biting flies or from handling infected rodents, rabbits, or hares. Cases also resulted from inhaling airborne bacteria and from laboratory accidents.
Q. What are the signs and symptoms of tularemia?
A. The signs and symptoms people develop depend on how they are exposed to tularemia. Possible symptoms include skin ulcers, swollen and painful lymph glands, inflamed eyes, sore throat, mouth sores, diarrhea or pneumonia. If the bacteria are inhaled, symptoms can include abrupt onset of fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, joint pain, dry cough, and progressive weakness. People with pneumonia can develop chest pain, difficulty breathing, bloody sputum, and respiratory failure. Tularemia can be fatal if the person is not treated with appropriate antibiotics.
Q. Why are we concerned about tularemia being used as a bioweapon?
A. Francisella tularensis is highly infectious. A small number of bacteria (10-50 organisms) can cause disease. If Francisella tularensis were used as a bioweapon, the bacteria would likely be made airborne so they could be inhaled. People who inhale the bacteria can experience severe respiratory illness, including life-threatening pneumonia and systemic infection, if they are not treated.

Are you a Shatner afficionado?
Steve,
Ooh, that'll leave a mark. There's gotta be a tiny part of you that's ashamed for kicking his ass so bad. It's sort of like teasing the mentally-handicapped, no?
Not that I don't enjoy it, mind you.
Nim--are you healthy again?
Sallyh
Uh, oh! What don't I know?
And Steve, if you're still here, and WT, I'm just sick that I mised meeting up w/ you in NY last weekend. Too many causes. *sigh*
I saw a movie about these two guys trying to make a movie (yes an amazing plot). It was going to be a rap version of King Lear (I think) starring William Shatner.
Since it was the kind of movie with a happy ending (unlike Lear) they actually did it & showed Bill doing a soliloqy with these football-player-sized black rap guys.
It was actually kind of cool-- more so than Mel Gibson doing Hamlet...
jdw: the photo of the 4 of them in front of the stove is brilliant!, there must me a republican under there and the cats are waiting for it!
meow indeed!
When you say paint the "bottom of the crust with beaten eggwhites", that's the bottom of the TOP crust, right?
It's not necessary. The top crust shouldn't ever get soggy. If it is then something is very wrong with what you're doing.

I just thought I was out of green. Sometimes not remembering where you put stuff can be a good thing.
Stranger,
Glad to hear you like the April Winchell. There are some real gems there.
Marcia, it's late. I remembered the CTRL-C right after I hit publish.
Oh, I'm going to bed to dream about doug's apple pie.

Look at you, all Kirkish.
These people have been torturing me all night with Shatnerish horrors, and now I don't think I'll ever get to sleep.
How do you cope?
What band did the song "William Shatner"?
I'm thinking the Pie Tasters, but I'm probably wrong.
I loved emacs, hated vi.
doug--I know those, too.
But I do prefer vi to emacs.
Btw, check my homepage for a link to an amazing short video. Artists? No, I say gods!
It really is amazing...

I prefer ctrl-insert and shift-insert. Something to do with early language development, I s'pose.

Eli--Picard trumps Kirk.

Old Man--preferred vi, but not religious about it
Too bad they don't like each other...
Oh geezzz... I had to check gannon/guckerts web site. There's the bottom.
Oh, I'm going to bed to dream about doug's apple pie.
He who sleeps, dines.

Nah I was never a fanatic either, learned emacs and after that vi never made any sense to me.
Sallyh
Well, now I've gotten totally lazy, unless it's some insane embedded device where vi is what's there is for editing /etc/configuration files or startup scripts, I just use kedit, and if fancy page formating is required, flow the text into OOfice, or scribus.

no, no, no! Rick Mercer is our John Stewart, but he's from Newfounland, and he's not as good looking. He goes to places in the US where people should know about things and ask them silly questions and gets hysterivcal answers and canadians like to see americans look stupid once in a while!
Boy ....now I feel stupid.
Ooops....
Atrios is still awakes and posted a thing abot Fox News trying to fix Condi a date! A female date too!

o tempora, o mores !
My sweet baby Weasel is 10, but doesn't act like an older kitty. He and his litter mate Bear are my cuddly cats. Lately, Weasel has decided 'Mommy' is spending too much time working in her office. What she should be doing is spreading fresh catnip leaves all over the kitchen floor. So he gets on the back of my chair and hooks my hair with his claws, giving it a good tug so I will notice him.
Notice him! Jesus H. Sebastian Christ! You can hear his trilling in the next state! Ah - must stop now. Kitty wants to play chase with the puppy. Oh God - something just made a loud crashing noise. Off I go to referee!
PS - love your pics!
I really don't needs pets of my own when I can just goo goo over yours every Friday evening.

Look at those sweet kitties napping together.
I posted a link to cubby blogging on the spam thread, but in case you missed it, not thinking to find cuteness on that thread, it's here:

sweet smokin' jesus, what is wrong with these people.
OTOH, clearly there is nothing wrong with dem cats!
glory be, kitties
Those kitties always look like they just love each other to pieces!!!
My 2 kitties like each other, but the older one is just not a cuddler. So the littlier one has to make do by cuddling with us.
friday felines, my weekly installment. I'm still looking for someone in the L.A. area to consider adopting the semi-feral kitten.
better late than never
Your cats are adorable, as always. Drum's cats couldn't hold a candle to them.
The only book I can figure out is "Godel, Escher, Bach."
Hey Atrios
I notice that you have Hofstadter's "Goedel Escher Bach" on your shelf, next to his "Metamagical Themas".
You may be amused by the volume "Cheap Complex Devices", which is a compendium, edited by me, of winners of the first "Hofstadter Prize for Machine-Written Narrative", which you can download for free from the address in my sig.
Also, here's an account of my dinner with Hofstadter and the philosopher Dan Dennett:

Kinda late for cat blogging, ain't it? I didn't see this till this morning. C'mon, Atrios, get with the program!
Sallyh,
hearing William Shatner talk/sing "Dance and Drink and Screw, cause there's nothing else to do."
WAITTAMINUTE!! You're saying this is on an album?
