Blogs don't really make money, and never right away. There are several sites including Google that will put ads on your site (you control where by where you insert the HTML), but you won't get a dime unless the traffic linking through the ad gets over a certain level. And you can make hats and t-shirts and the like, but there's no guarantee they'll sell.

if bush is suddenly pushed to the wall by fitz's investigation/indictments, then an attack by bin forgotten would provide an opportunity for bush to suspend the constitution and go to ruling by decree.
a frightened american people would go along initially, but soon they would want a return to the constitution. a cornered bush would decline, and plenty of conservatives are eager to do some pretty ugly things to keep weaselboy in power! we all know people like that.
and once things spin out of control it ain't going to be easy to return to constitutional norms.

Moonbootica, did I ever tell you about the first Brits I ever met?
I was just a wee lad, and my mom and dad had just divorced. Dad had custody, and was dating this pretty young thang that worked in a friend's office. She was from the U.K., but went to school here... oddly, don't recall her having any accent, at all. Anyway, her parents came to visit, and lovely people they were. Now they had very upper-class accents. They brought me a Corgy die-cast scale-model of the car in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (with retractible wings!), and a really cool book on the history of trains. I still remember the smell of that book, after 36 years.

The government painted an ominous portrait of Hamid Hayat and his father after arresting them nearly 10 months ago and charging them with lying about whether Hamid attended a terrorists' training camp in Pakistan.
The accusations depicted Hamid Hayat as so mesmerized by terrorist ideology that he sought to carry out a holy war against hospitals and even grocery stores.
[...]
Part of his father's purported confession sounds oddly like an episode of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

Palestinian militant group Hamas said on Saturday that Saudi Arabia had vowed to remain one of the biggest financial backers of the Palestinians, despite US and European threats to cut aid.
"They (the Saudis) affirmed that political and financial aid to the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian people would continue," said Ezzat El-Resheq, a member of Hamas politburo.
"We did not go into numbers, but they promised excellent support," he told Reuters, referring to a meeting the delegation had with Prince Saud al-Faisal, the country's foreign minister, on Friday night.

That's ridiculous. Just spend $25 for the damn camera.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush, in his latest push to counter rising opposition to the Iraq war as it nears its third anniversary, said on Saturday he believes the country can avoid an all-out civil war because of the increased capability of Iraqi troops.
Bush said in his weekly radio address his aim was to have Iraqi forces patrol more turf than U.S. forces by year-end.
But faced with polls showing the war is increasingly unpopular, he said he understood why many Americans wonder if the Iraq conflict was worth it.
"The security of our country is directly linked to the liberty of the Iraqi people," he said. "This will require more difficult days of fighting and sacrifice, yet I am confident that our strategy will result in victory."

The five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council has ended a second round of negotiations on how to persuade Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment works.
After the meeting in which ambassadors from the "permanent" members of Britain, France, United States, Russia, and China, participated, no declaration was issued.
In his statement, however, Chinese Ambassador to UN Wang Guangya said China uttered its objections on reinforcing the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) in the Iranian crisis.
Guangya also reported the timing of bringing the case to the United Nations Security Council topic, was not discussed at the meeting.

What the fuck???
Haloscan can't tell a scroll troll from a legit comment?
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Friends of U.S. peace activist Tom Fox, who was kidnapped and killed in Iraq, cited his stance against retribution on Saturday and called for the remembrance of all victims of violence around the world.
Members of the Langley Hill Friends Meeting, a peace group in northern Virginia to which Fox belonged, read a statement he co-wrote in October 2004 in which he shunned violence, even to rescue him should he ever be kidnapped.
"We reject violence to punish anyone who harms us," said Doug Smith, quoting Fox, in a statement read to reporters at the group's headquarters in McLean, Virginia.
"We forgive those who consider us their enemies," Fox's statement continued. "Therefore, any penalty should be in the spirit of restorative justice rather than in the form of violent retribution."

I agree. Maybe it was due to the prevalence in 1950s cookbooks of tuna with noodles and crushed potato chips for the crust.
One of my favorites is cheeseburger pie, which is extraordinarily easy and tasty (if not especially low in cholesterol, fat and calories)

Life's Little Victories!
Ever since I got the "new" PowerMac, my Apple scanner has not played well with it at all. Adding to the frustration, the scanner works just fine with the two elderly PowerMacs I have here. I was reduced to scanning on one computer, transferring the file(s) to my flash drive and then sucking them off the flash drive into the B&W Mac. Damned annoying, as one could imagine.
I could not find the users guide for the scanner anywhere on the Web. But I DID find a review which solved two problems, one of which I didn't even know I had.
Seems that this scanner has options for both internal and external SCSI termination. By switching the device number to an externally terminated SCSI number, the scanner now performs perfectly with my Blue and White PowerMac.
The other tip in the review mentioned a Photoshop plugin that would let Photoshop acquire images from the scanner. My graphics program of choice, Graphic Converter, can also use Photoshop plugins.
So, I drop the plugin into the right folder, restart Graphic Converter and can now scan directly into the application. Happy Happy Joy Joy!
Gentlemen, BEHOLD! A picture of my current setup, freshly scanned, cropped and reduced in size, all done inside Graphic Converter.

UK foreign office minister Kim Howells has admitted the situation in Iraq is "a mess" but said Iraq's prospects were better than media reports suggested.
Mr Howells, who is visiting the country to examine the oil industry, played down fears of a civil war.
He said Iraq was undergoing a "very, very painful process" and praised how ordinary Iraqis were adapting to the country's changes.
He said Iraq was also no longer in a position to harm other countries.

Oh my god. I haven't read his column, but the brief synopsis that idiot Cliff May posted at the Corner was enough to make me vomit:
FAIR FIGHT? [Cliff May]
In a conventional war, if one side has tanks, fighter jets, submarines and similar weapons, while the other side does not, who wins? The answer is obvious.
In an unconventional war, if one side has suicide bombers, license to kidnap, torture and violate the laws of war while the other side must refrain from deploying such weapons and abide by all the rules, who wins? The answer, I'm afraid, may be equally obvious.
So because this is an "unconventional war", the fact that we have vastly superior weapons is irrelevant, and this is an unfair fight? I mean, we knew they were going to have to spin this defeat anyway they could, but this is ridiculous.
