For some reason the last thread didn't load for me. So I guess I missed all the Plame fun discussion. Dammit.

Wapo is frontpaging Howard Kurtz's summary of the NYT story. He played up Libby as source for Plame outing to Judy and also the discrepanies between Judy's account and Van Atta's account. Made the point that NYT editors were not in control of the story or of Judy. NYT came out looking very bad in wapo account.

Just one more thing I have to note about that MYT article:
"She'd given her pledge of confidentiality," said Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the publisher. "She was prepared to honor that. We were going to support her."
But Mr. Sulzberger and the paper's executive editor, Bill Keller, knew few details about Ms. Miller's conversations with her confidential source other than his name. They did not review Ms. Miller's notes. Mr. Keller said he learned about the "Valerie Flame" notation only this month. Mr. Sulzberger was told about it by Times reporters on Thursday.
Sounds like they have *no* control over her at all.
Yeah. He took it first, how come he's having a delayed reaction?

Bush told Blair of 'going beyond Iraq'
United States President George Bush told British Prime Minister Tony Blair shortly before the invasion of Iraq that he intended to target other countries, including Saudi Arabia, which, he implied, planned to acquire weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
Bush said he "wanted to go beyond Iraq in dealing with WMD proliferation, mentioning in particular Saudi Arabia, Iran, North Korea, and Pakistan", according to a note of a telephone conversation between the two men on January 30 2003.
The note is quoted in the US edition, published next week, of Lawless World: America and the Making and Breaking of Global Rules, by the British international lawyer Philippe Sands. The memo was drawn up by one of Blair's foreign-policy advisers in Downing Street and passed to the Foreign Office, according to Sands.
It is not surprising that Bush referred to Iran and North Korea, or even Pakistan -- at the time suspected of spreading nuclear know-how, but now one of the US's closest allies in the "war on terror". What is significant is the mention of Saudi Arabia.
In Washington, the neo-cons in particular were hostile to the Saudi royal family and did not think they were doing enough to quell Islamist extremists -- 15 of the 19 September 11 attackers were Saudis. But the Bush administration did not in public express concern about any Saudi nuclear ambitions.
In September 2003, The Guardian reported that Saudi Arabia had embarked on a strategic review that included acquiring nuclear weapons. Until then, the assumption in Washington was that Saudi Arabia was content to remain under the US nuclear umbrella despite the worsening relationship between Riyadh and Washington.
It is not clear how Blair responded to Bush's remarks during the telephone conversation, which took place on the eve of a trip to Washington for talks with the US president.
In his book Blair's Wars, John Kampfner says that at the meeting the two leaders "agreed to concentrate not just on Iraq ... but also the Middle East". But that was taken to be a reference to Palestine. Blair wanted Bush to express concern about the plight of the Palestinians to appease the Labour party.
Blair at the time was careful to avoid any suggestion that the Bush administration intended to target other countries after the invasion of Iraq. However, for the first time he suggested there were links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.
After the invasion, Washington adopted a calmer approach towards Iran, leaving it to Britain, France and Germany to pursue a diplomatic course....

I wouldn't take "place" too narrowly. Anything can provide a sense of place. Something inside, with Maxx nesting in a pile of balled-up fitted sheets. Or a wide cityscape during a thunderstorm. Or maybe a shot of a dumpster in an alley behind a Chinese restaurant with part of a neon sign in view.

sunday WaPo has long piece on casino jack and how he killed ban on internet gambling with ralph reed and grover norquist. closing graf:
What happened at the meeting was relayed to Abramoff by a former associate, David H. Safavian, who was then a lobbyist for a coalition of online gambling companies and who this month was indicted for allegedly lying to federal investigators in the Abramoff probe.
DeLay, Safavian wrote in an e-mail, "spoke up and noted that the bill could cost as many as four House seats. At that point, there was silence. Not even Rep. Dick Armey (R-Texas) -- our previous opponent -- said a word."
When Congress prepared to adjourn in 2000 without revisiting the gambling bill, Safavian was ecstatic. He sent his clients an e-mail, which was posted on the Web site of the Fantasy Sports Trade Association.
"Relax a bit," Safavian wrote. "Policy beat politics once again. (Maybe the American system isn't really that bad.) The good guys won."

That was an okay post, Todd. Nothing to write home about, though. But thanks.
Wow, thanks for the constructive crit on an ancient post from when I first started blogging. So did you consider what the point was, particularly Ferguson's discussion of the nature of 'power'? It takes many forms, including non-military strength. Moral power, for example, which we've unfortunately squandered along with our military might.
Buckeye, the Mrs. informs me that the Kettering/Moraine Wal-Mart does have beer now. But nothing good.
Wow, Shaw Kenawe, where was that picture taken?

basement
I knew somebody who tried to have a 'basement'. Had to blast thru about 20' of granite. As I recall it increased the house cost to something like $900million. If they hadn't felt the need to have a 'basement' it would have cost, like, oh, $135,000. I asked at the time what the problem was with buying a shed, but that didn't seem adequate somehow.

But, if you think we have, when did we recover it after Viet Nam?
I'd say we started regaining it after we withdrew from Saigon. When Carter offered amnesty to draft dodgers we regained a little more. We regained even more when we obtained global support for GWI (even though I didn't support it), achieved our limited objectives and didn't invade a sovereign nation.

No, his disclosure wasn't illegal because, as it turns out, the law didn't say anything about him. Rove's outing a secret agent, on the other hand, is covered by the law.
And Wilson, being a true Patriot, had a duty to point out the folly of our government. That was RESPONSIBLE, fuckwit.

"Mr. Fitgerald asked my reaction to Mr. Novak's column. I told the grand jury I was annoyed at having been beaten on a story."
One thing this incident has really demonstrated is what a bunch of immoral scum the Washington press core has become. Karl Rove gets away with his dirty tricks because the cool kids are just as sleazy as he is. That steaming pile of shit that Richard Cohen wrote suggesting that the folks who outed Plame should be left off the hook even though what they did may have been "technically" illegal, is another illustration of the mentality that these fucks have, that since unethical behavior is prevalent in Washington, that somehow makes the Plame incident "trivial". These smug bastards apparently think that the Washington political and press elite shouldn't be required to have the same moral and legal standards that the rest of us follow as a matter of course.
Fuck Miller. Fuck Cohen. Fuck Russert. Fuck them all.

Shorter Judy Miller - "I do not know how that 'Valerie Flame' entry got into my notebook."
Bullshit.
I recall her appearance on Hardball or somesuch a while back, probably last year, when she was talking about these matters, and as she was about to say Valerie's name, she blinked, eye-fluttered and said "Flame or Palm, whatever it is", giggling. Fuck her fat ass.
This name game tripe is just like the "Democrat Party" insult from the Rove/Luntz/Delay school of depraved arrogance.

Frank, you must be a young man to not yet realize that there will always be haves and have-nots. If everybody is equal, then we cease to be individuals. You may like that sort of thing in your socialist dreams, but it's abhorrent to a real American.

How does being equal stop individuality?
First of all we are speaking of monetary equality. The fact of the matter is everyone isn't equal, we are all different. Some physically superior some mentally superior.

Toby,
Tell the truth. In our relationship, you are the fawning, obsequious toady (petzold) who licks my well worn boots.
Toby, you are free to move out of your Mom's basement.....
I know I'm not supposed to feed the troll but... Toby, in an earlier thread you complained about the Swedes and the Nobel Peace Prize. The Swedes don't award the Peace Prize, the Norwegians do, you dipshit.
And the Scandinavian countries aren't communist, they're social welfare, because the government and the citizens believe that government has a duty to protect them, and the citizens are willing to pay high taxes for this protection. High taxes do not make a country communist.

... legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property... Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions or property in geometrical progression as they rise. Whenever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right.
Thomas Jefferson (in a letter to James Madison), 1785
And Jefferson is right again!
Again!
While it is a moot question whether the origin of any kind of property is derived from Nature at all ... it is considered by those who have seriously considered the subject, that no one has, of natural right, a separate property in an acre of land ... Stable ownership is the gift of social law, and is given late in the progress of society.

Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the ark of the Covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment... laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind... as that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, institutions must advance also, to keep pace with the times.... We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain forever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.

I keep going back to the JM article, which I am trying to read in between keeping up with the comments.
Here it says
Within a few weeks, in one of his first personnel moves, Mr. Keller told Ms. Miller that she could no longer cover Iraq and weapons issues. Even so, Mr. Keller said, "she kept kind of drifting on her own back into the national security realm."
Then a couple of paragraphs later!
On June 23, 2003, Ms. Miller visited Mr. Libby at the Old Executive Office Building in Washington....
Her assignment was to write an article about the failure to find unconventional weapons in Iraq.
WTF! I thought she was no longer working on weapons issues. Did she *assign* herself to that story?
The whole article raises more questions than it answers.

That's certainly how I remember it. That evil rightwing Truman, defeated by the valiant, Socialist General Eisenhower, who brought Modern America to fruition.

NTodd
Green Party members holding elected office in the United States:
At least 224 Greens in 27 states
and the District of Columbia
hold elected office as of August 2005
The two-party duopoly has created an array of laws, institutions and attitudes against broadening the electoral system – preventing voters from having more voices and more choices. In no western democracy are there so many legal barriers to getting on the ballot for independent and third-party candidates.
Actually, in the 19th century the US was more hospitable to third parties. They reciprocated by being on the leading edge of movements for the abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, trade union rights, populist-progressive reforms like heralding the graduated income tax, and what became social security.
The Republican and Democrat Parties tightened the obstacles in the 20th Century. At the presidential level in 1987 they monopolized the Presidential debates by replacing the League of Women Voters with their own private company—the corporate funded Commission on Presidential Debates. They know that no matter how much you campaign, the only way to reach tens of millions of voters is through these debates. The two Parties have rigged the system to keep different views and solutions away from the public.
The system is rigged in a myriad of other ways. Without instant runoff voting, the winner-take-all procedure leaves out millions of voters along with their chosen candidates. It does not require a majority of voters to win – merely a plurality. Those not in the plurality get nothing for their vote. New ideas, new approaches and new voices do not get the opportunity to grow.
What kind of a sick sadistic world do
live in where that would be possible?

Many Shrug Off Last-Minute Switch as Fairfax Republicans Hear From National Chairman Instead
If those attending yesterday's annual Republican "Pep Rally Breakfast" in Fairfax County did not pay much mind to the scrum of protesters outside, all they had to do was take a seat and flip open the program to see what all the ruckus was about.
There it was, smack in the middle of the first page: The man scheduled to deliver the keynote address in support of Virginia gubernatorial candidate Jerry W. Kilgore would be Karl Rove, the White House senior adviser who is embroiled in the investigation of a leak that revealed the name of a CIA operative. Tickets were hot. The press was barred.
But soon after party activists sat down inside the ballroom of the Sheraton Premiere at Tysons Corner, it was announced that Rove had been scratched from the lineup. No detailed reason was given. The 300 breakfasters listened instead to Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Typical Democrat skipping over how the system is rigged.
You don't pay attention, do you: I'm not a Dem, I'm an Indy. And protestations about rigged systems don't sway me. Constructive programs do. That's why I will be happy to vote for our Progressive candidate who's vying for Bernie's seat next year (and who happens to be the organic farmer we get our veggies from in the summer), and for that pink-bastard Bernie to take Jefford's seat in the Senate.
Again, build a grassroots, show some national strength, and you too can be the oppo party. Piss on the only currently viable alternative to single-party rule at the Federal level and only piss off most voters. "Buy it asshole" is a shitty marketing ploy--trust me, I know.

Nice piece at your place. Interesting read. Also, Nice fall shots. I went to the gallery and was wondering when you are going to put the pumpkins shot up for sale. That would do well on a card too. And the church one and also the leaf I think would do well as photo cards. And While I was looking through the travelblog shots, i was wondering if any of those will be up for sale at the gallery? Any idea?

Possible indictment in CIA leak case isn't keeping Rove from GOP fund-raising
While colleagues express concern that presidential adviser Karl Rove could be indicted in the CIA leak case, he continues to be scheduled for private fund-raisers by the Republican National Committee.
Rove was listed for such a money-raising reception Oct. 14 in New York City, the same day he was to testify for the fourth time to a federal grand jury. Rove is scheduled for a fund-raiser Monday in Greenwich, Conn. Earlier, he appeared at such events in Lexington, Ky., and Indianapolis on Sept. 26.

genoasail - actually, all pics on the blog are for sale, even if I don't get them posted in the gallery. If you really want something particular, lemme know and I can arrange it.
I've been really bad about the gallery site. I've got new shots of mine and Eli's to post, not to mention from rasdaq. And I haven't nagged mer as much as I should for some non-photog stuff (ahem!). But I just dropped a consulting gig so maybe I'll actually get my ass in gear and post the new shots, and other products, and maybe even finish the business plan.
I just hope I win Powerball so I can just focus on taking pics and ignore the business stuff...

Hey, Olav - won't know til the first of the month. Til then, I'm still at the mercy of my current oppressor, who insists that I do my two weeks' and finish off this Storrs document. It's a grind, no doubt. Looking forward to the cheap Italian submarine sandwiches tho. And the photo badge attached to the elastic stringey thing to clip to my belt.

Capitalism at it's finest.

I hear he bought an extra large butt-plug in preparation for the times he'll be taking it up the stern courtesy of the new friends he'll be making in prison.

Ibero-American Summit in Madrid condemns US "blockade" of Cuba and demands an immediate end.
Everybody was there from Central and South America except Castro. They deliberately chose the word "blockade" over "embargo." The US Embassy in Madrid blamed Zapatero, claiming use of the word "blockade" had destabilzed the Madrid-Washington relationship (as if--Zapatero is officially persona non grata in Washington)
Mexico's Vincete Fox won't get any more invitations to Crawford from Dubya: "At the end of the day, blockade and embargo mean the same thing. I'm not worried [about Washington's ire]...I never worry when I defend the principles and values which Mexico stands behind internationally. One of those principles reject intervention, blockades and embargoes--they are not the way to go."

canadian humour?
Prime Minister Paul Martin struck just the right notes with American business leaders this week, in a forceful but restrained speech arguing that Washington's refusal to play by the rules on softwood lumber is a "breach of faith" between partners. While Martin drew bigger headlines in Canada than in the U.S., the Wall Street Journal, CNN and news agencies all carried his complaint that Washington has damaged free trade by hammering us with $5 billion in unfair tariffs.

That's EXACTLY the problem I noted a few years ago. Don't grab for the brass ring until you've proven you can govern. Why is that so fucking hard to understand?
Quite frankly, I'm more concerned about breaking GOP hegemony than I am about creating a better multi-party system. First, let's get rid of single-party rule. Then we can think about the next step. Triage, people. Triage.

You've given the world Leslie Nielsen and we gave it Paul Gross. Together, we're responsible for Due South - and there's not a soul in the States who wasn't already a Canadian who had a clue what -that- was all about.
I know Diefenbacher always made -me- laugh tho. And Inspector M. Thatcher.
Question, does nayone recall when Filkertom gace link to some weird group who didDabncing in the Dark in "new" doo-wop?
It haunts me, anmd I'd like to hear it again.
Also, my son, whose father was an alcoholic who drank himself to death, is going tomorrow to visit his father's family, who have not seen him since he was three. I removed him completely from them. Did the best thing I thought at the time. He seems to be fine w/it, and I have not discouraged him - have, in fact, helped to finance the trip and will go send him off tomorrow at the airport.
