Bush 'trial' in Parsippany to skip verdict
School officials shift focus of class project
BY ROB JENNINGS
DAILY RECORD
PARSIPPANY -- The war crimes "trial" of President Bush in a Parsippany High School classroom resumed Friday with one significant change. It really was no longer a trial.
School officials responded to a national uproar by letting the classroom mock tribunal proceed, but decided that the five-teacher "international court of justice" would not render a verdict when closing arguments conclude early next week.
Interim Superintendent James Dwyer said he wanted seniors in teacher Joseph Kyle's advanced placement government and politics class to "focus on the process, not the outcome."
"It's really not a trial. It's more of a forum, a symposium," Dwyer said after emerging from nearly three hours of meetings with school board President Robert Perlett, high school Principal Anthony Sciaino and other officials.
Local politicos got involved, saying it was terrible to discuss Bush's actions in such a manner.

Or Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturne: A Tek Jansen Adventure
The glittering event, also dubbed “The Christian Oscars,” was held just days before the 78th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood and attracted more than 150 celebrities, Hollywood executives, producers, writers, and directors and their guests. The evening began with red carpet media interviews with many of the stars, including Pat Boone and Stephen Collins, as well as many other actors and actresses who were attending the event and who openly shared their faith in Jesus Christ.
…Pat Boone, legendary singing star and actor, received a “Special Lifetime Faith & Values” Crystal Teddy Bear Award for Dedication to Redeeming the Values of the Mass Media of Entertainment. The Crystal Teddy was given to Boone for his “tireless and superior efforts over many years to redeem the values of the mass media and to present the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the mass media.”

Bush Rules Out a Nuclear Deal With Pakistanis-NYTimes
http://tinyurl.com/z9oq3
President Bush made clear on Saturday that Pakistan should not expect a civilian nuclear agreement like the one with India soon, and he bluntly said the two rivals on the subcontinent could not be compared to each other.
...
"I explained that Pakistan and India are different countries with different needs and different histories," Mr. Bush said at a joint outdoor news conference with Mr. Musharraf on the grounds of the presidential palace, Aiwan-e-Sadr. "So as we proceed forward, our strategy will take in effect those well-known differences."
Before Mr. Bush's remarks, administration officials said General Musharraf had no chance of making such a deal when proliferation and terrorism remained concerns in Pakistan. But it was striking that the president spoke so directly as his host stood at his side.
--------------
Of course this makes sense, but it does underscore the argument against the Dubai ports deal, and makes clear how bogus it was for Bush to accuse its opponents of racism.
Still, he did an amazing job of losing hearts and minds on this trip. And may have triggered a nuclear arms race in south asia to boot.
Heckuva job, Bushie.

I've decided the Bush Administration is a giant political science experiment. After 200 years of vigorous democracy, let's see whether a nation can survive eight straight years of all branches of the government doing every - single - thing - wrong. Without exception. Can such a nation endure?
If so, "democracy" will receive FDA approval and the manufacturer will offer it to the rest of the world.
I can't wait for the "this was only a test" announcement.

Echidne, the indian mounds are even more impressive in person. They are very, very large. One of them near Lancaster Ohio was large enough that even though they'd ploughed under one of them for a football field, the rest of them still surround it.

uh...nevermind.
it migh sound 'classist' but there is a reason why rugby crowds don' not have the same agressiveness attached.
football developed as a working class game
rugby came from the middle classes and public schools.
clearly both had a factor on the type of crowds the game draws.
Moonbootica, Praetor
and then we have.....polo
earl avoids spandex | 03.04.06 - 7:13 pm | #
As I understand it, both rugby and "association" football developed out of the same type of "football" games played at English bording schools to encourage athletic activity (American football evolved out of the same sorts of games but replaced the rugby Scrum with a scrimmage [both of which share a common root with skirmish] thus creating the need for downs.).
The foot in football is probably a reference to the fact that football games were traditionally peasant games played on foot wheras the aristocratic sports (like polo) involved horses.
"Still, he did an amazing job of losing hearts and minds on this trip. And may have triggered a nuclear arms race in south asia to boot."

With its source Lake Itasca at 1475 feet (450 m) above sea level in Itasca State Park located in Clearwater County, Minnesota, the river falls to 725 feet (220 m) just below Saint Anthony Falls in Minneapolis. The Mississippi is joined by the Illinois River and the Missouri River near Saint Louis, and by the Ohio at Cairo, Illinois. The Arkansas River joins the Mississippi in the state of Arkansas. The Atchafalaya River in Louisiana is a major distributary of the Mississippi.

Lancaster is south of Columbus. Not too many Amish (Lancaster PA has lots) but kind of rural and manufacturing. There are many places to see the mounds, though there has be a big fight since one of the most beautiful spaces is on a golf course and they were stopping folks from visiting.
in Oka Ontario the natives threw up some roadblocks at a planned golf course over traditional burial grounds. The OPP killed a guy, this is four five years ago, and an inquest is now on.

When the war was going on in my country, before the aggrieved rebels attacked my parents,i was able to escape through the underground tunnel with the certified documents.

While Bush was busy bumbling his way through a photo-op at a cricketing clinic in Pakistan today, irony was on full display. Though not apparently to this Reuters reporter. After painting a fun-loving, regular guy picture our Disaster-in-Chief, the following is mentioned in the article's very last line:
"Pakistan's most famous-ever cricketer, former captain-turned-politician Imran Khan, spent Saturday confined to his home where authorities detained him to thwart his plan to lead a march to protest against Bush's visit."
An apt example of the mainstream media's willingness to perpetuate the illusion that George W. Bush has any interest in democracy.

White House Seeks to Plug Leaks

The Bush administration, seeking to limit leaks of classified information, has launched initiatives targeting journalists and their possible government sources. The efforts include several FBI probes, a polygraph investigation inside the CIA and a warning from the Justice Department that reporters could be prosecuted under espionage laws.

Puppeteers see no line between pragmatism and their safety. They are quite willing to go to any lengths to protect themselves and provide a safer environment, even if it means destroying another race.... The Puppeteers can be egotistical, manipulative, and arrogant to the point where they are blind to their own mistakes.
...
In human terms, Puppeteers are egotistical, arrogant, and have no moral sense whatsoever. Puppeteers do not see this behaviour as negative since the only thing that matters to them is their safety. A human sees a Puppeteer's behaviour as deviant, but the only deviant behaviour acknowledged by the Puppeteers themselves is their manic-depressive cycle.

I think I could come to like George Bush....... no really I do. I mean if he were in a mental institution or imprisoned at the Hague for life for crimes against humanity, I think I could find some empathy for the guy.
But I am not sure. First we have to get him into one or the other then I will know if it is possible.

Is there still an... appetite for the fat cats?
The cats and keyboards thing has been going on for centuries. Domenico Scarlatti (born the same year as Bach and Handel, 1685) wrote a great fugue called 'the cat fugue' because the subject of it was inspired by his cat walking on the harpsichord.
It's a great, and very weird, piece.

Didn't read the whole thread, but did catch your comment about Repug Hell up there. I met a guy a couple of weeks ago who described himself as a "liberal Republican," and immediately added, "I hate that W was elected and I was never for the war." And he's ex-military. It's nice to see a decreasing number of people willing to cop to being in favor of either.

No Iraq Trip for Legislator Who Opposed Deal on Ports
By CARL HULSE
WASHINGTON, March 3 — Representative Peter T. King's prominent opposition to a proposal to allow a Dubai company to take over some terminal operations at American ports may have earned him some punishment from the Bush administration: He has been grounded.
Mr. King, the New York Republican who is chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, confirmed Friday that a few days after he first threatened legislation to hold up the port deal, the Pentagon informed him that it could not provide an aircraft for his planned March Congressional delegation to Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East.
A Feb. 22 e-mail notice to Mr. King's office said the legislative affairs branch of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's office had determined "they do not have any aircraft to support" the official trip to Baghdad and other points. "Please advise if the CODEL will now pursue commercial air," it concluded, referring to the Congressional trip. Mr. King said he did not know if the paucity of aircraft was related to his leading role in the port dispute, but he was suspicious.
"It is very coincidental," said Mr. King, who talked reluctantly when pressed about the canceled trip, which had first been unintentionally disclosed by another lawmaker. Mr. King said that he did not intend to make an issue out of it or allow it to affect his stance in the port dispute.
MissusX kicks me in the shins at that point...
Trying to tenderize ya, eh?
Waitin' fer you to git ovah heah.
Sorry, I've got a sick mutt to tend to. Raincheck?
That's okay. I'm not evil, just malevolent.
NTodd, Hoodlum
Never take half-measures.
Eli asks:
Anyone watching Raptor tonight?
Lesson learned: Non made-for-SciFi channel movies tend to be not much fun.
.
I have a new nickname.
Henceforth, you may also call me the "Pasta Nazi".
A friend of mine asked if I would help with the parks & recreation's fundraising pasta dinner for the Little Rock marathon, and I agreed. My task was serving shells & marinara.
Well, a lot of the people running in the marathon are from out of state, and apparently a lot of them also are unfamiliar with the concept of a "fundrasier" and that, at such events, the people serving the food and drinks are volunteers.
Most of the people were really nice. But about a hundred of them broke the line, ahead of people who hadn't been served at all, for seconds. WTF is wrong with people? Oddly enough, the only ones who were really aggressively rude, were all women. The first woman who was rude because we were low on sauce and wouldn't smother her entire plate with it, I said, "Exactly how much do you think I'm being paid to stand here and listen to your abuse? People like you are what makes being a volunteer so worthwhile."
But the next woman who was rude was the kicker. I could tell from her accent that she was from the Northeast. She asks if the sauce is meat sauce. I say no, it's all marinara, and she starts bitching. I reply that most of the people who have come through the line have wanted to verify that there was NO meat in it before having us serve it. She jerks her thumb at her husband who is behind her in line and says, "HE'S been running these things for 15 years. Don't tell ME they don't want meat sauce." So I say, "excuse me, but are you saying I don't know what every person through this line tonight has said to me? What exactly do you think my MOTIVATION for LYING to you would be?" She huffs and waves her hand at me and moves off down the line, which was a shame, because I was about that close to coming over the table and twisting her fucking head off her neck.
The last rude woman I merely said, "Ma'am, I'm only a volunteer here, I didn't plan the menu or order the food." She immediately apologized and I said, no big deal, don't worry about it.
Oddly enough, I found the whole thing to be just pretty damn funny. But by the end of the night, the other volunteers on the line had dubbed me "Pasta Nazi". A label of pride!
Since Atriots are so damn smart, anyone in here remember the clear plastic sheets in Encyclopedia of anatomical charts that stack up to make a whole person? I see them clearly in my head from 1976 but have no clue where to find them now or what they might google under . If anyone can point me to them or has a suggestion, Let me know .
Do they still print them in Encyclopedia ?
Hi everyone btw. You're all looking wonderful . Except Toby , he's can go fuck himself .

I'm so sorry! I went through something very similar last Summer. I had volunteered to be the communications person for a local bike tour for an important national health charity (not women's rights...I'd never give up that crusade). I won't go into it, but I've decided I'll volunteer for another group this year!
When our dog has gut issues I feed him rice with a bit of gravy.
I asked the vet for some canned "bland" food. Not sure what I have in the house at this point, and I didn't feel like shopping. He likes the muck, and I can hide his pills in it.
That's probably fine, but if you want to do something more labor-intensive, boiled white rice (not fast rice) and boiled chicken is what my vet recommended for stomach viruses in the dogs.
Black Squirrels, are actually grey squirrels.

I'm fortunate in that the house is mine, I've got plenty of equity, a very small mortgage payment thanks to countless refi opportunities as rates fell in the last 10 years, and we're pretty much going for a settlement that's status quo ante, as it were. I could arguably go for spousal maintenance since this really fucks up my long-term plans, but I just want to be done with it all.
Shit, consider it Cortez burning his ships...

But ya know (on a totally irresposible note)
some people have taken the saga of the Donner party as proof that women are tougher than men. (Women did survive in greater proportions than men) but they don't take into consideration the physical exertion of the men that got them that far.
I.E. the hastings "cut- off", which sapped the strength of the men who had to cut a road through raw wilderness.

It's an amicable split, actually. I'm disappointed that Stef has other priorities, but life sucks and I gotta move on.

Or Magdalene Laundries, but I think that's the Joni Mitchell song...
Magdalene Sisters, I believe.
Yup.

no one mentioned Hotel California?

sadly i'm so fried i can't remember the name of that one, but it's my favorite.
I could arguably go for spousal maintenance since this really fucks up my long-term plans, but I just want to be done with it all.
Sounds like my long-ago divorce. Didn't want to fight, didn't care, still don't. I still got the best end of the deal: the girls would rather hang with me than their dad, although he got residential custody 'cuz I gave him my half of the house, one we'd bought because it was in a great school district. Sometimes it's best to just let it be. My parents divorced over 30 years ago and they're STILL fighting about settlement crap.
Eli, just hadda go announce that "You've heard me mention Eli The Pun Guy?" (Sorry.) "He went to school with Christian Slater." The girls were rather impressed.
The Fella found out the other day that he is related, in some obscure way via family marriage, to Mandy Patinkin. Kinda cool, because we were huge Dead Like Me fans.

Hee hee. Also Martha Plimpton, and I not only went to school with Ralphie/Messy Marvin, but whacked him in the head with a dress shoe.
Oh, and one of my high school classmates' dad was dating Maud Adams. I was skeptical, but come graduation time, there was Octopussy in one of the first five rows...

Damn, the only famous person I went to school with was Travis Twit. (Tritt)
Dubious honor, I know.

Check in with your biology teacher.
Yo JR-
as a man ...
ya ever been preggers?
Or nursing?
Hell, for that matter, ya ever been around women?
Okay. I've got my Red Ryder BB gun, and I'm gonna go outside and walk down the street until I find someone I can shoot in the face.
Right.
SD
ya ever been preggers?

sandiaman
Have you ever been preggers or nursing? Can you explain to me what that has to do with individual survival? In fact, one of the reasons why women require less calories for PERSONAL survival is that whole "preggers/nursing" thing.
Men's caloric requirements are 5-10% higher than women's mainly because of the body mass and muscle. Elementary biology.
Another less than comfortable fact for you. According to nature, men are highly expendable. Deal.
As for my acquaintance with women's bodies, I am assuredly more intimate with the female body than you will ever be.
JR-
If you don't understand the relationship between growing an independent person in your womb ; and additional caloric intake.....
Oh yeah, you have been so intimate with women....(but never understanding what they realy need....)
If you don't understand the relationship between growing an independent person in your womb ; and additional caloric intake.....
And if you can't understand why having "another person in your womb" is an *automatic disqualification* for personal survival then you will also have to check in with your English teacher.
I admire the way you completely sidestepped the issue of the fact that men require more calories than women. Are you a conservative?
Also, Mr Smooth, I love the way you "know" what women really need. ROFL.
What happened to all my posts on this thread? Did Atrios erase them? BIZARRE!
JR -- from Matthew Kelty (Trappist monk)
Fasting is no longer fashionable in most quarters today. There are, to be sure, vast areas of the world where few get enough to eat, but the voluntary denial of food to one’s self for spiritual reasons is not very common. There is a considerable amount of vanity fasting or weight-watching, but that is not to be considered in the same breath.
Notwithstanding the trends of the age, monks still fast. The mortification of the appetite by abstemious eating at certain times is still recognized as a sound practice in the ascetic life. The curbing of the appetites, the calming of the passions, the control of one’s impulses and urges, drives, is basic to the monastic life, and a hope to move in the depth of one’s prayer without growth in self-control is naive in the extreme.
For the sake of the beginner, however, let us say that in this matter environment can be a great help. A consumer-oriented social setting is not the best preparation for a life of self restraint. A monastic environment is perhaps a little better. In a world free of the frantic stimulation of the sexual and consumer appetites it is rather much easier to get a better hold of one’s self and learn the beauty of being master of one’s flesh and one’s stomach.
Dependent characters often find fasting very difficult and entertain exaggerated notions of their need for nourishment. A society almost infantile in its need for something to drink, something to chew on, something to taste, to suck, to smoke, to inhale, is scarcely one to encourage self-sufficiency and independence, but in a monastery one may find the climate healthier.

Nice explaination.
Although I would say thta "fasting" and "abstemiousness" are not completely congruent... I understnd from my Jewish friends (Reformed) that the point of keeping kosher in the modern day is to make one aware of one's food, to not take it for granted. A similar vein of thought, IMHO.
Prior, I have to walk the dog. I'll see you upstairs if you are still around.
Joyous Lent!

A problem in my original comment (however many nights back that was) was using "makes you think" when "makes you aware' would have been more apt

Plain fact - the men, according to the ethos of the day did the hard work.
Of course, it was also the men, according to the ethos of the day, who got the party into the dire straights ther found themselves in.
At the end of the day, the men in the Donner Party had simply physically worn themselves out; and what is worse, they had kicked their most capable leader out of the party.
In the end, the women probably proved themselves tougher then the men;
but how much was that because the men sacrificed themselves simply because that was what was expected of them?
Or then again, it is possible that the women were tougher than the men.
I don't know, and neither do you.
I do apologize for the unwarrented attack on your charactor.
That was irresponsible of me.
sorry
Colorado teacher attacked for telling the truth?
--------------------
A tenth grade teacher dreams of students thinking for themselves. He challenges with provocative examples, yet asks them to form their own opinions.
A student tapes twenty minutes of a lecture, a surreptitious gift to rightwing ideologues. Talk radio assassins target the teacher's character, calling in the white phosphorous on cherry-picked expressions. Brownshirts of the blogosphere explode with shrill indignation, spreading furor against a differing point of view about the nation, about their leader.
The teacher is suspended, and in danger of expulsion. Where, one might inquire, is freedom of speech?

Apology accepted. I con be a bit rough myself, sorry.
but how much was that because the men sacrificed themselves simply because that was what was expected of them?
IMO part of that is nature's programming the most disposable to protect the most valuable (not a snide, the number of children is related to the number of women, with little regard to of the number of men).
The women weren't lazing around, though. their chores may not have involved heavy lifting, but small amounts of work done more times evens out.
I also recall that a 1970's study determined that if you eliminated the West from the equatioin women performed 65% of the world's physical labour.
By the time the crunch came for the Donner party they were in camp, not cutting trails. ANother factor is cold, IIRC women (because of more evenly distributed body fat) are slightly more resistant to hypothermia, all else being equal.
One culturally gendered factor that probably did play a role that you entirely missed - the men probably gave more of their food to the women and children.
Someone has the entire Donner party diaries online, fascinating reading.
Overheard quote from a Donner party survivor: "I'm so hungry I could eat a jockey."
JR-
Why the #$%@ do people who are in basic agreement tend to be so nasty to one another when on-line?
I suppose, since I was the first to attact, that the anonimity of the internet makes it easy to take ones frustrations out on total strangers with seemingly no effect on ones own ...(soul...karma....aura.... what ever)
Theres' a great book about the Donner Party thats been out for about twenty years now... "Ordeal By Hunger"...I can't remember the authors name, but it is a very detailed look at those poor dooomed people who made up the Donner party...
Donner, party of six... Donner, party of six.
Heh heh heh.
