The nests of yellow jackets and hornets are made up of several layers of cells enclosed in a globular outer covering. Paper wasps build open, flat nests of a single comb. The nest is begun by the queen wasp, which alone survives the winter.

The Perch
There is a fork in a branch
of an ancient, enormous maple,
one of a grove of such trees,
where I climb sometimes and sit and look out
over miles of valleys and low hills.
Today on skis I took a friend
to show her the trees. We set out
down the road, turned in at
the lane which a few weeks ago,
when the trees were almost empty
and the November snows had not yet come,
lay thickly covered in bright red
and yellow leaves, crossed the swamp,
passed the cellar hole holding
the remains of the 1850s farmhouse
that had slid down into it by stages
in the thirties and forties, followed
the overgrown logging road
and came to the trees. I climbed up
to the perch, and this time looked
not into the distance but at
the tree itself, its trunk
contorted by the terrible struggle
of that time when it had its hard time.
After the trauma it grows less solid.
It may be some such time now comes upon me.
It would have to do with the unaccomplished,
and with the attempted marriage
of solitude and happiness. Then a rifle
sounded, several times, quite loud,
from across the valley, percussions
of the custom of male mastery
over the earth the most graceful,
most alert of the animals
being chosen to die. I looked
to see if my friend had heard,
but she was stepping about on her skis,
studying the trees, smiling to herself,
her lips still filled, for all
we had drained them, with hundreds
and thousands of kisses. Just then
she looked up the way, from low
to high, the god blesses and the blue
of her eyes shone out of the black
and white of bark and snow, as lovers
who are walking on a freezing day
touch icy cheek to icy cheek,
kiss, then shudder to discover
the heat waiting inside their mouths.

Mr. Abramoff's Meetings, Again
Saturday, January 28, 2006; A20
IF A TYPICAL picture is worth a thousand words, a picture of President Bush with Jack Abramoff, we suppose, might be worth about 10,000. And so we understand the desire of our more visually inclined colleagues to obtain photos of the president and the criminal. But the focus on the photos distracts from a more important question that the president managed to duck in his news conference Thursday: Who in the White House and administration met with Mr. Abramoff, and what were those meetings about?
It is no answer to this question to say, as Mr. Bush did, that "there is a serious investigation going on by federal prosecutors" and "if they believe something was done inappropriately in the White House, they'll come and look, and they're welcome to do so." It is no answer to dismiss questions about Mr. Abramoff and the White House, as press secretary Scott McClellan has, by calling them a "fishing expedition." If there is one thing that is now clear, anything involving Mr. Abramoff is, by definition, fishy.

A Discredit to the GOP
Friday, January 27, 2006; A22
THE BUSH administration's distortion, for political purposes, of the Democratic position on warrantless surveillance is loathsome. Despite the best efforts of Karl Rove, the White House deputy chief of staff, and Ken Mehlman, the Republican National Committee chairman, to make it seem otherwise, Democrats are not opposed to vigorous, effective surveillance that could uncover terrorist activity. Nor are the concerns that they are expressing unique to their party. Republican Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Arlen Specter (Pa.), Chuck Hagel (Neb.), Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) and Sam Brownback (Kan.) have expressed legal doubts about the surveillance program. Do they, too, have a "pre-9/11 worldview," as Mr. Rove said of the Democrats? ...
Maybe, as a matter of crass political calculation, Mr. Rove and Mr. Mehlman are correct that Democrats criticizing warrantless wiretaps will pay a price in the November elections. We don't pretend to know. What we do know is that the country is in the midst of an important debate about the reach of presidential power and the scope of civil liberties in wartime. For Rove & Co. to try to turn this into just another partisan political skewer discredits their administration and their party.

Sept. 11 could have been prevented. This is breathtakingly cynical. The nation's guardians did not miss the 9/11 plot because it takes a few hours to get a warrant to eavesdrop on phone calls and e-mail messages. They missed the plot because they were not looking. NYT
I think that 9/11 could possibly have been prevented if shrub had convened his Terror Task Force after receiving 56 memos that all concerned terrorist attacks on the US. With the last of the 56 titled "bin laden determined to attack within the US".
I don't think that a pile of phone calls and e-mail messages would make a difference when shrub wasn't looking and did not care.

New Orleans Betrayed
Sunday, January 29, 2006; B06
IN FRONT OF the cameras last September, President Bush promised to rebuild New Orleans. In private, White House officials told Louisiana's notoriously argumentative politicians -- Democrats and Republicans, state and local -- to get their act together and come up with a reasonable plan, one that would neither cost too much nor result in people rebuilding in flood-prone districts. To many people's immense surprise, they did. In consultation with the Urban Land Institute, New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin (D) proposed a logical reconstruction of his city, with buildings on higher ground to be rebuilt first. Rep. Richard H. Baker (R-La.) proposed legislation to set up a Louisiana Development Corp., with sufficient capital to buy back damaged property, allow owners to move to higher, drier ground as the mayor's plan dictated and let the state redevelop lower, wetter property as appropriate.
After much agonizing, state politicians from both parties agreed to back these ideas. Not everyone in New Orleans liked them, and the mayor himself sometimes seemed reluctant to defend them, but federal government support would have helped convince people there was no other option. Until last week, the administration was assuring Louisianans, behind the scenes, that they were on the right track.
Now -- suddenly -- the administration has switched directions. Early last week White House officials told Mr. Baker and other Louisiana politicians not only that they refused to support the development corporation he proposed but that they'd asked congressional leaders to cancel planned hearings on the Baker bill. At his news conference last week, Mr. Bush claimed, strangely, that "the plan for Louisiana hasn't come forward yet." Was he misinformed or deliberately misleading?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...2801080_pf.html
So why oppose the DeWine bill? Perhaps because Mr. Bush had already secretly lowered the standard of proof and dispensed with judges and warrants for Americans and non-Americans alike, and did not want anyone to know.
Ya think? Ok, I'll stop complaining that the tradional media is finally paying attention. For now. It's good to see things like this being discussed.
I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but its hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst. Then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain, and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.

Bushs Think Tank Idea Needs Some Retooling
CBS will air a portion of its interview with President Bush on Sundays Face the Nation. You can look forward to this exchange:
CBS: Have you had time to think about what youre going to do after youre president?
BUSH: Im beginning to think it through a little bit. Id like to leave behind a legacy or a think tank, a place for people to talk about freedom and liberty and the DeTocqueville model of what DeTocqueville saw in America.
Its curious that Alexis DeTocqueville is Bushs inspiration for a think tank. DeTocqueville was a French political thinker who traveled extensively around America in the early 1800s and wrote famously of his perceptions of the U.S. in a two-volume set entitled Democracy In America. A review of DeTocquevilles writings reveals that, though he wrote in the 19th Century, he may as well have well been studying the politics of the Bush administration:
I foresee that all the military rulers who may rise up in great democratic nations will find it easier to conquer with their armies than to make their armies live at peace after conquest. There are two things that a democratic people will always find very difficult, to begin a war and to end it. [Link]
I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America. [Link]
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money. [Link]
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it. [Link]
When an opinion has taken root among a democratic people and established itself in the minds of the bulk of the community, it afterwards persists by itself and is maintained without effort, because no one attacks it. [Link] (Note: DeTocqueville never imagined the creation of blogs)
We look forward to Bushs interpretation of DeTocqueville and the opening of his think tank. Perhaps we can entice him to create an institutional blog, which would provide a wonderful forum to debate his legacy.
Critical", indeed.
Way, way past time to rein this preznit in.

Congress has failed, tragically, on several occasions in the last five years to rein in Mr. Bush and restore the checks and balances that are the genius of American constitutional democracy. It is critical that it not betray the public once again on this score.
Just watch them.
Happy Saturday all.
Just want to let y'all know that I was blockwalking (actually, more like blockjogging) for Donna Howard, Democratic candidate for State Representative in Texas House District 48.
If you haven't heard her of her runoff against Dellionaire Ben Bentzin, you may soon. It's part two of a special election to replace the unreelectable Todd Baxter, GOP mindslave of Republican House Speaker Tom Craddick. Gov. "Good Hair" Perry called the election for January 17, hoping to drive down turnout in a district that was Republican-redistricted to elect a Republican.
When election day was over last January 17, Donna Howard had nearly won outright in what was a 4-way race, with another dem and and "libertarian" Ayn Rand fan. She pulled down 49.5% of the vote to Ben Bentzin's 37.8%. Kathy Rider got a little over 10%, and "libertarian" Andy something got just over 2%. In other words, in a GOP-designed district, the Dems just put in a 60/40 showing!
This could be a tipping point in Texas for a number of reasons I won't go into, except to mention public school finance reform, which will force a special session of the legislature after the March primaries. Donna Howard's race is pivotal. The runoff is slated for Valentine's Day, February 14.
Ben Bentzin's throwing money all over the place and rumor has it the DeLay and Rove are getting involved in this runoff. The GOP was badly embarrassed by Bentzin's "chokeitude" (to quote Mike Clark Madison of the Austin Chronicle). Bentzin's been linked to the DeLay TRMPAC scandal because he used TRMPACer John Colyandro for his dirty 2002 state senatorial run. He also failed to report the "indirect payments" to Colyandro in his Ethics Commission candidate filings. And he's already got ethics complaints for not filing his 4th quarter candidate report until the day of the election, Jan. 17. And he's taking money from the radical right of Texas politics, guys like James Leininger, a voucher sugar daddy. And on and on...
We think we can win this and take our SECOND republican seat away from the GOP in Travis County. Visit Donna's website for more info.
This is a bonafide hopeful situation, people. Wish us luck!
NSA attempting to license technology to geographically locate internet users to corporations.
"Where in the Net?
NSA offers patented technology, such as for determining the physical location of Internet users, for industry licensing and use.
By Cheryl Gerber
military-information-technology.com
The National Security Agency is actively seeking venues to advance its Technology Transfer program and make more patented NSA technology available for licensing. One of those technologies, a method for determining the geographic location of Internet users, represents a nascent but promising market that has proved useful for financial institutions to combat criminal fraud and could help in the NSAs collection and production of foreign signals intelligence...."
...Although we have responsibility for technology transfer, we also have a responsibility for national security, so we have to look at technology in terms of what damage it could do if it got into the wrong hands. We have to balance those considerations, Porter said...."
"...One NSA technology in the program describes a step-by-step internetworking method for geo-locating the logical network addresses that indicate where an Internet user is physically located. The NSA received a patent for it in September, although the patent has not been licensed yet.
The patent, entitled Method of Geo-locating Logical Addresses, tackles the problem of verifying the accuracy of network addresses and passwords in the continuously developing, highly meshed Internet. It states that the technology behind the geographic location of Internet users could be used to flag a password that could be noted or disabled if it is not used from or near the appropriate location.
The patent is for technology that measures latency and builds a network latency topology map. Latency refers to the time lag between networked computers as they exchange data at numerous locations. An Internet address could be looked up on a topology map by calculating how long it takes known computers to connect to the one in question.
Geo-location technology has provided a healthy business for companies such as Quova and Digital Envoy, whose largest commercial markets address the growing problem of criminal fraud and fraudulent use of stolen identity in banks and credit card companies. The highest value is where the pain is greatest. This is where the technology behind the geo-location of Internet users can save seven to eight figures on an annual basis, said Scott Foote, Quova senior vice president of products...."

Bush thinks we're "over-insured"
by Joe in DC - 1/28/2006 11:18:00 PM
Bush is preparing to address health care in the State of the Union. That won't be good. Josh Marshall explains why:
But the core premise of the policies the president is about to lay out is that Americans are over-insured when it comes to health insurance. Over-insured. Got too much insurance.
These aren't my words. These are the words used by the conservative policy-wonks who came up with the president's proposals. Just hop over to Google and start googling the phrase 'over insured' along with 'health' and 'conservative'. This what they think; and what the president thinks. It's why he's behind these ideas.
So the president thinks the problem is that people have too much health insurance. People are over-insured.
Now, maybe in the circles in which the President travels, people are over-insured. But, that's not true in most of America. If anything, we're over-insurance companied. The insurance companies suck up our time and our resources to prevent adequate health care, not deliver it.
Bush is on the side of the insurance companies. Every step he takes on health care will benefit them, not the rest of us.

This article, "Spies, Lies, and Wiretapes," really angers me.
I'm not sure I need to feel that way tonight, but nonetheless, it's a damned good editorial.
The secret program violates the law as currently written. It's that simple. In fact, FISA was enacted in 1978 to avoid just this sort of abuse. It said that the government could not spy on Americans by reading their mail (or now their e-mail) or listening to their telephone conversations without obtaining a warrant from a special court created for this purpose. The court has approved tens of thousands of warrants over the years and rejected a handful.
From what I've read, the FISA Court has approved over 97% of all requests.
That's better than my company's "ship on time and complete" record, and we're an ISO 2001 approved company, with the goal of shipping 95=% on time and complete every month.
And it is even better than my daughter's high school GPA, which is at 3.87.

i love it when someone just shits right on nick kristof's head
I'd got so used to Nicholas Kristof's January visits to prostitutes in Cambodia that it was a something of a shock to find him this January in Calcutta's red light district instead.
...
I did click on "prostitution", at the foot of a Kristof column, and found myself looking at a cheery promo piece published in the NYT in early January about a brothel for women customers that Heidi Fleiss is planning to build in Nevada. Maybe there'll be rooms with teenage boys to slake the appetites all those school teachers who seduce their students, and then Kristof can schedule a buy-out for them too, perhaps in January of 2007, if Heidi gets her license from the state of Nevada by then. She told the Times reporter she'd already sold the HBO rights.

j5spot, yeah, we saw earlier the Bionic Octopus linking to the same thing and linked it ourselves. It is so brazen of these scumbags to shill for neoliberalism and then turn around and chide the dirty foreigners for suffering the consequences of the same policies. The best line we thought was Chennai's comparison to an Indian journalist taking America to task for meth without mentioning the collapse of family farming, and you could probably add manufacturing.
Over the holiday break, about 200 students from my university volunteered to go down to New Orleans and help with clean-up. I wonder why somebody doesn't organize a New Orleans or Gulf Coast Summer and organize to have college students from many universities go down there to help with clean-up. The people down there need it. They are short of people, supplies, and equipment. I got a recent email from a friend who lives in New Orleans and she says that many people are in despair because things are just not getting done. I can see President Clinton or Al Gore or Dean or somebody with good organizational skills doing this effort.

U.S. Policy Seen as Big Loser in Palestinian Vote
By Glenn Kessler
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, January 28, 2006; A16
Standing in a sunny Rose Garden on June 24, 2002, surrounded by his top foreign policy advisers, President Bush issued a clarion call for resolving the deadly Israeli-Palestinian conflict: "I call on the Palestinian people to elect new leaders, leaders not compromised by terror." ...
The election outcome signals a dramatic failure in the administration's strategy for Middle East peace, according to analysts and some U.S. officials. Since the United States cannot deal with an organization labeled a terrorist organization by the State Department, Hamas's victory is likely to curtail U.S. aid, limit official U.S. contacts with the Palestinian government and stall efforts to create an independent Palestinian state.
More broadly, Hamas's victory is seen as a setback in the administration's campaign for greater democracy in the Middle East. Elections in Iran, Iraq, Egypt and now the Palestinian territories have resulted in the defeat of secular and moderate parties and the rise of Islamic parties hostile to U.S. interests. ...

That would require some degree of competence and coordination with government agencies, federal, state, and local. The Bush Administration has demonstrated time and again that they haven't got the requisite organizational abilities.

I'm reminded of the headline at HuffPost recently. Well, here it is:

Three Out Of Five Say The Country Is Seriously Off Course...
70% Do Not Support Spying On Ordinary Americans
61% Unfavorably View GOP Congress, Highest Number In 10 Years...
76% Say Bush Should Disclose His Ties To Indicted GOP Lobbyist Abramoff...
I don't think he's going to get much traction with the idea we have too much insurance.
Of course, if anything depends on the Dems, we're screwed.....
Yellowjackets are the pollinators from hell. Had nest in my front yard, underground, with only a small opening. I was mowing and was stung just below the knee.
The sting really hurt, but I figured it would only hurt for a little while. The next day my leg began swelling, eventually turning red and purple. Then, the swelling increased unbelievably (skin can stretch that much?), felt sizzling hot, and the pain became unbearable. By Day 3 I was limping from the pain and the swelling was filling my entire lower leg, ankle and foot--shoes didn't fit.
I put a lawn chair over the nest opening, but just going near it resulted in a new bite--and more swelling, etc.
Time passed in an uneasy truce, but I was researching how to root them out, smoke them, take away their lair where they lurked, how to kill them safely and efficiently.
The third time I was bitten, it was by several yellowjackets at once. Again, the swelling, discoloration, only it began about mid-thigh. By this time, I'd learned from the web that I should immediately elevate the leg for about an hour so that the poison stays in somewhat one place, cool compresses for the heat and swelling.
I had wanted to live and let live, but now it was a fight to the death. I found a two foot flexible plastic hose, taped it to the aerosal can of death-dealing poison, and, at midnight, when most of the little stinging monsters were in the nest, I sprayed and sprayed and sprayed. Then I stuffed the opening with steel wool and saturated that with the poison, so the hornets which had stayed out all night would have to eat their way back into the nest the next day, ingesting poison with each bite.
Got'em. Got'em all.
(Hhhmmm, might this work on Rethugs?)
Note to NSA agents: This is a rhetorical question and exaggeration. A joke. Not a threat, like Ann Coulter's expressed wish and plan to kill Justice Stevens.
"I call on the Palestinian people to elect new leaders, leaders not compromised by terror."

Principles of Consideration
Robert Frost wrote a marvelous poem, "The Pasture," where he invites his readers to come to the pasture and help him clear the leaves from the spring. "I sh'n't be gone long, you come too."
Using the knowledge that if in this world, after careful consideration, one cannot recognize their betters we'd all be in deep trouble and since I am aware that Frost expresses what I am thinking better than I ever could; I use his words to extend my own invitation -- I'm going to try to clear the spring, "I sh'n't be gone long, you come too."
I live in a small city on the Western coast of Lake Michigan. My house is near the water -- though not on it. Every evening when the spirit moves me and the clouds are in the correct position, I travel the half-mile or so and watch the sunset. Without a doubt sunsets in Michigan are as interesting and beautiful as sunsets anywhere. The reality is that each area of the country has its own peculiar beauty and I am not so enamored of my lake and shore to not be able to appreciate the sun dipping into the mountains or gently kissing the plains. The reality is that I have lived here most of my life and my sunsets on my beach mean more to me than they would to you. That is as it should be. When the sun sets in the summer my family often travels to the beach and we swim as the orange ball dips to the horizon. It is a time of supreme reflection and circumspection.
In the summer the breezes gently caress the dune behind my house and I can feel them as they drift across the deck and into the computer room where I do my writing. This is my invitation to come and sit on the deck and feel the gentle breezes smelling of the lake as they keen through the oaks. I have lots of room for a nice conversation and this is my personal invitation to come and join. If it gets too cold (or hot) we can return to the computer room and you can sit in the other large chair next to the machine where so many have sat before: Young people who have come to learn to write and think. People who have sat in the chair and listened to my thoughts and others. Maybe I will reach into my desk and retrieve some of my favorite writers' books and share some of the wonderful passages I have marked and loved. Maybe it will be a little Frost or perhaps some Hesse. (I am a positive nut for Hesse.) Maybe we can learn to appreciate the language the way Kipling did. Or maybe we can learn what we are actually thinking.

Every swing Senator. Every phone number: both DC AND District offices. Every fax number. Every email or webmail contact page, linked. All in one place. With notes on where that Senator stands.
Especially over the weekend, you can call several numbers for each Senator, leave several voicemails, send faxes to every different District office, and top it off with an email. For all they know, that's a bunch of constituents calling in, not one furious grandmother on a telephone rampage.

"now, when you see pink, you will think WE'RE DOOMED!!"
my olives are stuffed with jalepenos.
Oooh, I've got very few left in my jar of jalapeno/garlic-stuffed olives. I weep at the prospect of running out.
i got some money
cause i just got paid
how i wish i had someone
to talk to
i'm in an awful way.
How do you know it's Gail Collins? Those editorials aren't signed as far as I know.
I don't doubt that you are correct; I'm just curious about how one might figure that out, as I've wondered about it in the past.

Steve Simels,
I loved Cat Stevens when I was younger. My first album (after The Partridge Family and all of The Osmond albums), was "Catch Bull at Four." (I was 13 at the time.)
I have to say, though, that I hated his version of "Another Saturday Night."
I grew up on the Sam Cooke version.
NTodd--you put them on for Thers Jr. Admit it. You didn't want to traumatize the child, unlike Dobson, who believes you should swing your wanker for the young'un to see.
Heh, you'd better ask Thers/NYMary about the 6yo's pants policy. Uncanny.
You should write for sitcoms, or even better,

i'm surprised you didn't trip over it.
no, it's true I don't know it's gail collins but as editor she's ultimately responsible. I find putting a name on them provides accountability and I also assume that the more, uh, shrill ones certainly get oversight by the top editor.
Why are the olives stuffed with jalapenos? Why aren't the jalapenos wrapped in olives? Or does it matter?
And why do I spend so much of my waking hours on stuff like this?
even better soaked in equal parts bombay dry and grey goose.
Can't go for the gin, but some soaking in Stoli makes me happy.

I'm teasing. I don't need no stuff.

Loved all that "Mathew and Son",
"Here Comes My Baby" stuff.
"First Cut is the Deepest."
Here Comes My Baby is still one
of my favorite singles of any

I love early Cat Stevens.
By the time Buddah and the Choclate Box came around though, with the exception of "Oh Very Young," I had had my fill of the Cat.
I used to sing when I was a kid. First and only song I did on tv was "Moonshadow." (this was local tv.)

Dirk Gently--I did call my allergist's office. They weren't very concerned! It was not considered an allergic reaction and I had no breathing problems.
I've been very wary of yellowjackets ever since then. And they don't lose their stingers--they can just keep on drilling. Not good memories!
Or maybe not...

Black olives? Not so much.

a creamcheese & spanisholive omelette.

There's a Greek market near me where they sell an enormous number of olive varieties. Some of them are incredibly juicy and sweet, even.
thanks, sallyh. if i wasn't so lazy i'd go to harry's market, they probably have them. but it's so much trouble to go to two different stores.

You peeps do realize that in order to peel olives, they soak them in lye first?
It's like cooking your food in Drano.

my vegetarian daughter sat down a few minutes ago with a plate of raisen toast and fake bacon. it smelled delicious.
Flory--I'll bring the salad and roast chicken, made with Hecate's fresh garden herbs.
DWD - the only problem I have with sharing my work is that I think my friends sometimes get tired of hearing about it! (My family never did pay attention.)
In fact, I brought a few copies of one of my stories to Eschacon. Trouble is, I gave them out at one of the late-night parties and can't remember exactly who took them! (Yeah, it was a good party.)
If you think you might be at the Ann Arbor get-together I'll bring a copy along should you be interested.
Sallyh,
I went in to a Whole Foods market recently and noticed they had a couple of stalls set out with a gazillion types of olives. Didn't know there were so many varities.
I like brussels sprouts better than olives.
peanut butter and bacon on cinnamon bread
There's a Greek market near me where they sell an enormous number of olive varieties.
My friend, Jim, who owns the Italian restaurant where I went tonight, marinates his own black olives in a secret sauce of some sort.
Now, those are delicious, and those, I will eat.
Tonight he was tempting me with some kind of crazy ass shrimp thing he had concocted, but I was full, having had 2 pieces of a 7" pizza.

I like Indian cuisine the best. It offers the widest variety of dishes I can eat. Chinese I like only from expensive restaurants, because MSG gives me migraine attacks. Thai is good, too. So is Vietnamese.
dan balz is off the ranch:
The Post-ABC News poll offers a revealing portrait of a restless electorate at the start of the campaign year. By 51 percent to 35 percent, Americans said they preferred to go in the direction outlined by congressional Democrats rather than the direction established by the president.
...
By 54 percent to 38 percent, voters surveyed said they would vote for the Democratic candidate over the Republican candidate for the House in November. That is one of the largest margins favoring the Democrats in two decades
...
By 51 percent to 37 percent, Americans said they trust the Democrats more than the Republicans with the main problems facing the country over the next few years, the first time since spring 1992 that Democrats have gained more than 50 percent support on that question.

Nancy Pelosi shows some fight
She rejected recent comments by Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican Party, that Pelosi and Democratic Party leader Howard Dean would want the NSA to hang up when terrorists dial their sleeper cells.
"It is a disservice to a very serious debate about security and liberty for him to resort to that kind of a statement," Pelosi said.

That's amazing! I'd never heard that before, but I remember my lovely siamese boy went crazy over some liquid spilled from the jar of green olives. To him it was better than catnip! Happened every time I brought out green olives. He even made funny growling sounds of ecstacy as he rolled his face in it. I think he would have rolled his whole body in it if he could have.
mmmm. brussel sprouts. steamed, buttered, a little lemon - a meal in themselves.
i'm going to gain 100 pounds reading this blog.

I think y'all are underestimating yellow-jackets. I've seen them eating raw red meat before.
people think they can come up with examples - bacon & chocolate - which sound bad. but I guarantee that chocolate covered bacon, or bacon covered chocolate, tastes fantastic.

all seafood not involving coconut, especially good not-overcooked fish

Greek, in fact just aveglemono, in fact steamed rice with that used as a sauce
Korean street barbeque skewers (which are not dog, by the way)
Lebanese "dry" baklava (as opposed to Greek let's waste honey style) topped with powdered pistachio
Steamed rice drenched in Thai red, orange, pink or saffron sauce (we don't know any Thai, sorry)
Vietnamese rice noodle soup with beef strips
catfish po'boys (in fact anything catfish)
whatever lentil soup is
Newfoundland fried baked potato and seal flipper pie

The atrios making food comments doesn't have a homepage in its posts, incidentally.

recently i found an extremely good new orleans style retaurant in an unlikely place. fantastic food. shrimp, crawfish, blackened steaks, perfectly spiced.
previous to that i never cared for that cuisine.
probably goes to show the quality is more important that the nationality. i've had really bad french food, for example.

English is not my first language, so the kinds of mistakes I make tend to be different from the usual ones. For example, lots of people right "recieve" or "acheive" or such, but furriners don't, because they memorized the words to begin with.

For example, lots of people right "recieve" or "acheive" or such, but furriners don't, because they memorized the words to begin with.
i find its more of a keyboard thing than spelling thing.
i usually type "becasue", then have to correct it. and i can't type the word "field" unless i stop and do it very slowly. which is tough when i write database documentation - it is a word i use often.
So where am I from?

Yes Goddess you are on Cusor.org's index & I visit.
So, got anything besides class
no. no i don't.
kissy kissy trollly?
NTodd-- best food I ever had was in Strasbourg, France. A wonderful fusion of German and French, and wines to die for.

Echidne,
Please do it gently. Those kinds of errors are basically inconsequential in the larger scheme of things around us.
pssst- flory, the joke is that she mis-spelled "Ares". "Aries" is the sheep in the horoscope.
For the record, I got that, but I'm multitasking. Besides, I didn't want to offend a goddess. I know what happens to people who do (e.g., Arachne)...
i here the hummer h3 is being discontinued. sales apparently suck.
Other than the excruciatingly annoying reporter chiclet -- who I hope is stung to death very soon -- this movie is very booooring.....
Funny hwo everyone is listing a lot of more eastern foods as their top cuisines. I mean, nobody has listed haggis yet (not even a bacon-wrapped one).

Yeah. I know. And then I did the same thing. Sometimes my fingers bypass my brain.
when typing I always confuse homophones, something I never do when I'm handwriting.
J5S--at Dr. Hoggly Woggly's Tyler TX BBQ, not only do they feature what you described, but the food is served on paper plates, the knives are chained to the table, and when you get take out, they put slices of white bread in the bottom to soak up the grease. Delicious.

Well,shoot!
If it ain't served thataway, it ain't bubbacue!
Everbody knows that!
i here the hummer h3 is being discontinued. sales apparently suck.

you obviously aren't paying attention. i can spell, i just can't type.
of course, i'm a little drunk. but in the morning, i'll be sober and you will still be a fucking asshole.
oh, and the h3 is eing discontinued. better buy a fleet soon while you have the chance.
cept i don't think they take pennies in a jar as payment.
Do you know what a "toad-in-a-hole" is?
it's been so long since i read the kama sutra, seriously
and i can't type the word "field" unless
I do the same thing with 'hospital' which is a word I write a gazillion times a day.
There are a lot of hopsitals in my world.
Yeah. I know. And then I did the same thing. Sometimes my fingers bypass my brain.
flory
Yep. Like I said, it's funny that it doesn't happen when I'm writing, though. Goes through different parts of the brain, obviously.
Might be different for touch-typists, but I'm a 8-finger-hunt-n-peck typist.

Atrios, if you ever meet Bush, don't mention Homopohones, or wear an Obama button. The two combined may fry what's left of the flightsuit circuits...

Bunch of liberal lies. The market is booming so much that they don't have enough to fill orders. I have lots of money, far more than pennies, this ensures there will be plenty since our economy is booming, too. It also means you losers who whine need to get jobs.

Almost as yummy as Welsh Rarebit.
Then there's Scotch Eggs, aka "coronary on a plate".
NSA is set to listen to these hompohones...

OH Osher. You are such a big, strong man....when the fruit bat ascends your left buttock, only then will the thousand virgins allow their sweet honey to drizzle across your nasal canula. Show me your sphincter, you big hunka dumpy brown!
..and let us not forget that great delicacy, the chip butty.
Obama is making the talk rounds...

and the h3 is being discontinued. word on the street.
niters bats...may chaeck in as I hear things off the youngturks cast
what!
"They missed the plot because they were not looking. The same officials who now say 9/11 could have been prevented said at the time that no one could possibly have foreseen the attacks." The editorial should have gone on to say that Bush disregarded warnings that Al Quaeda was going to strike the US, that upon receiving a report to that effect he went fishing. The editorial should have said, as Democrats should say loud and clear, that 9/11 was Bush's FAULT. As for the domestic spying, people have been asking "but what is the real reason for it?" I think this is it: the ultimate in insider trading. Administration cronies can eavesdrop to their heart's content until they get the latest information on companies they like and companies they don't like and then invest accordingly and otherwise react accordingly. The SEC will never be able to penetrate this "classified information," all of it cloaked in perfect secrecy. What other reason given by Bush for the spying makes as much sense?
Wow, even the media whores are starting to wake up and smell the stench of a president run amok.
One complaint I have about the NYT's otherwise outstanding editorial. At one point they say, "The domestic spying program is part of a well-established pattern: when Mr. Bush doesn't like the rules, he just changes them.
This is completely wrong. Bush didn't "change the rules" on warrantless wiretaps. He is not Congress. He doesn't have the constitutional authority to change the rules, that is, the LAWS -- not even in "wartime". What they should have said is, "When Mr. Bush doesn't like the law, he just breaks it."
One other thing they forgot: why don't they conclude by calling for his impeachment? They already concluded, "The secret program violates the law". So why did they make this only the third item in their list? And why do they not then go on to call for Bush's impeachment?
why is tiki barber talking of those @ gitmo as being all guilty of committing crimes against our troops abroad as he did this morning on fux news
also, why is tiki barber on fux news ??
