Fifty percent of those surveyed called those responsible for blowing the NSA's cover "traitors," while just 27 percent agreed with media claims that the leakers were "whistleblowers."
By a margin of 42 to 34 percent, even Democrats agreed with the "traitor" label.
Americans also strongly support renewing the Patriot Act by a nearly 2 to 1 margin [57 to 31 percent].

From the last thread:
I'm liking the 18-200mm VR zoom, although it started having autofocus problems towards the end of today's shoot.
Darkroom is great - you have so much more control. Well, compared to sending film to the lab, anyway. Compared to Photoshop... not so much.
To tell ya the truth, I'd rather not monkey with photos too much. I'm sort of a purist.
I think you should get the image right on film (or sensor) in the first place.

Echidne: I read quite a few of the comments at Kos- there were some serious ones and some cheap shots, as well as a very surprising amount of "fawning". I think it's simply because noone expected him to do something like that (he's even supposed to have done a couple of followups).
But maybe the guy isn't as hated as people want him to be.

Europe's most successful companies are turning their backs on EU markets because of red tape, a high-level report said yesterday.
The companies that Europe needed to survive were instead investing more money than ever in the United States and Asia, concluded the report, presented to the European Commission in Brussels.
The findings made unsettling reading for the EU leaders, ripping into their pledges to build a "knowledge-based Europe" that would overtake America in 10 years. The reality was the opposite. Not only were US, Chinese and Japanese firms outspending Europe on research and development, the gap with Europe was growing.
Perhaps most damagingly, Europe's most important countries were pouring more and more of their technology investment overseas, as they despaired of the European Union becoming "innovation friendly".
Unless EU governments took bold action to increase spending on research, freed labour markets so skilled workers could move more easily, and stopped pouring taxpayers' money into dying industries, Europe's post-war way of life was doomed.
The report said: "Europe must break out of structures and expectations established in the post-Second World War era that leave it today living a moderately comfortable life on slowly declining capital. This society, averse to risk and reluctant to change, is in itself alarming but it is also unsustainable in the face of rising competition from other parts of the world."

This snipped/stolen from comments at Redd & Hamsher-
Lil Debby should be forced to swallow the comment whole:
bEGINsTOLENcOMMENTpOST-
Let me try to explain it in a way that the media can easilty understand it. Let's pretend that, instead of money, Jack Abramoff was giving out blowjobs. It would be fair to say that Abramoff gave blowjobs to a lot of Republicans. He did not, as far as we know, give blowjobs to any Democrats. As for Abramoff's clients, these are people who were GIVING Abramoff blowjobs, not receiving them from him. While it is true that some of the people who gave Abramoff blowjobs also gave blowjobs to some Democrats, I've seen no evidence that Abramoff was DIRECTING his clients to give blowjobs to Democrats, and it's a hell of a lot different than getting blowjobs from Abramoff himself. Questions?

Deborah Howell is up over at the WPost. She finally admits a mistake but also says she was flamed by thousands of profane e-mails. The vast majority of those I saw were perfectly polite. Saying someone lied when they did lie is not abusive, just pointing out a fact. Her tone is very snide and she still mischaracterizes and doesn't prove that Abramoff directed donations to Dems. She does cite two sources but very loosely. See for yourself.

Bin Laden tape 'not genuine'
The tape was analysed by the CIA and the US National Security Agency, which listens to communications around the world.
Said they believe the recording - broadcast on the Arabic al-Jazeera television channel earlier this month - was almost certainly that of Osama Bin Laden.
Read the date on the aticle. November 2002.

In a recent survey, 50% of respondents called Hitler a "real swell guy who'd solve that pesky problem with the Jews," while 27% of respondents thought he was fucking nuts. Oh wait, the numbers were more like 95-5, and the survey was taken in Germany in 1933. My bad.

oki. i've figgured some stuff out.
first, after the 2nd martinin i stop measuring. this is not good. i might have accident;y put some vermouth in the last one. but that's not the issue.
the issue is, i would like to see lil debbie report on how much indian tribe contributions to democrabs incresased after abramoff started directing the film. i suspect none at all, infact i believe they went down.
i'm sure someone brought that up before.
i had more to say, but this took too long alrady.
so i am going to bed. i wll be back tomorrow with a large headache.
unless i sit here a few more minutes and post again.

I had kind of a "Bobo's World" moment earlier today... a member of a farmer/wrench-head oriented board I frequent is going into the hospital for a heart/lung transplant. I didn't even know you could *do* that.
There were about three pages of "thoughts and prayers with you" but no mention whatsoever of the *source* of these new organs.
so I wished the guy well and said that I also had sympathy for the family of the poor soul who provided the heart & lungs.
The damn thing went on another page and a half & I was the only one who even thought that was worth mentioning.

First beer, dear.
The "John Kerry's diary" link takes you to all the diaries he's done. If you want to read the comments, you click "View Comments."
If you want to read what he wrote, click on the title of the diary, in this case, "Thank You."
I'm tellin' you, I only see the same content as is on the homepage, any link I click (unless I scroll down on the right, and click one of the links under "diaries," which is how I got to read the content for "Thank You," but on THAT page, I click on Kerry's name, or his diary link, and I get the same thing that's posted @ www.dailykos.com).
So, maybe it's a Mozilla thang.

Oh, yeah - those are real objective sources.
They vouched for the authenticity of that letter from al-Zawahiri to al-Zarqawi a few months ago, the one that happened to have a line that suggested that Zarqawi say hello to himself...
And even though the letter is supposed to be addressed to al-Zarqawi, the last line says, "By God, if by chance you're going to Fallujah, send greetings to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi," another puzzling inconsistency.
reading the Howell psuedo-apology, I was struck by the strawman argument offered by Michael Cowley.

How long have you been sinking your teeth into Satan's pot roast of perversion? Spare us NO details! This is your chance to get behind the pulpit and spill your guts. I guess I don't have to go to church, tomorrow, since I went tonite!

Thanks, Sean. So from DeLong I learn: "In the readable parts of the document to which she links, Abramoff appears to "direct" $220,000 of contributions to Republicans, and $4,000 of contributions to Democrats."
ok, I'm wrong, the scandle IS bipartisan. The goopers get 220k, and the dems got(I'm assuming they actually got the $) 4k.
Therefor, assuming as Howell does that this money is corrupt, the goopers are 55 times more corrupt then the democrats.

That Noam Chomsky has gotten rich on plutonium reprocessing in his MIT offices; that Nancy Pelosi, recipient of the Cesar Chavez Award for her work on behalf of unions, owns both Walmart and the animated zombified corpse of James Thurber; that Ralph Nader is not only a union-buster, but a frenetic tango dancer who haunts old lunch counters looking for Stokely Carmichael; and Ted Kennedy squashed an environmentally friendly republican staffer by sitting on him?

The Center for Responsive Politics says: "We have no way to determine whether Mr. Abramoff or his associates suggested or directed that each campaign contribution listed be made. There are simply limits to the conclusions one can draw based on lobbying reports and reports filed with the Federal Election Commission. While Mr. Abramoff has apparently acknowledged directing tribes to make specific contributions, which is generally legal, it is entirely possible that Mr. Abramoff had nothing to do with the making of tribal contributions to certain recipients. For now, Mr. Abramoff, the contributing tribes and the individual recipients of the contributions are in the best position to explain the circumstances under which the contributions were given and received. Of course, we expect more information to come out as the Department of Justice investigation continues."
The Center for Public Integrity, which Howell cites, has Abramoff stuff here.

U.S. President George W. Bush calls indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff ``an equal money dispenser'' who helped politicians of both parties. Campaign donation records show Republicans were a lot more equal than Democrats.
Between 2001 and 2004, Abramoff gave more than $127,000 to Republican candidates and committees and nothing to Democrats, federal records show. At the same time, his Indian clients were the only ones among the top 10 tribal donors in the U.S. to donate more money to Republicans than Democrats.
Bush's comment about Abramoff in a Dec. 14 Fox News interview was aimed at countering Democratic accusations that Republicans have brought a ``culture of corruption'' to Washington. Even so, the numbers show that ``Abramoff's big connections were with the Republicans,'' said Larry Noble, the former top lawyer for the Federal Election Commission, who directs the Washington-based Center for Responsive Politics.
``It is somewhat unusual in that most lobbyists try to work with both Republicans and Democrats, but we're already seeing that Jack Abramoff doesn't seem to be a usual lobbyist,'' Noble said...
Between 2001 and 2004, Abramoff joined with his former partner, Michael Scanlon, and tribal clients to give money to a third of the members of Congress, including former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, according to records of the Federal Election Commission and Internal Revenue Service. At least 171 lawmakers got $1.4 million in campaign donations from the group. Republicans took in most of the money, with 110 lawmakers getting $942,275, or 66 percent of the total.
Of the top 10 political donors among Indian tribes in that period, three are former clients of Abramoff and Scanlon: the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians of California. All three gave most of their donations to Republicans -- by margins of 30 percentage points or more -- while the rest favored Democrats...
Abramoff's tribal clients continued to give money to Democrats even after he began representing them, although in smaller percentages than in the past.
The Saginaw Chippewas gave $500,500 to Republicans between 2001 and 2004 and $277,210 to Democrats, according to a review of data compiled by Dwight L. Morris & Associates, a Bristow, Virginia-based company that tracks campaign-finance reports. Between 1997 and 2000, the tribe gave just $158,000 to Republicans and $279,000 to Democrats...

"Wow, Governor, that's amazing, how did you do that?"
