evangenital, I think the only thing that would really wake people up and turn the press away from their bush-worship (NYT occasional off the reservation reporting notwithstanding) is an economic depression.

Interesting? I would call it addicting. Some incredible stuff out there.
Chris/TX
A leading Senate Republican said Friday that he was not sure that Congress should pass legislation to create new military tribunals for terror suspects, a stance that raised doubts about prospects for a White House plan to establish an alternative to the commissions struck down this week by the Supreme Court.
The senator, John W. Warner of Virginia, the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said he had not yet decided what course Congress should take. But Mr. Warner, who will preside over hearings on the issue in July, said he was concerned that new tribunals, even if authorized by Congress, might not withstand judicial scrutiny. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/0...int&

More trouble for dems:
Senate to Consider Stem Cell Proposals
Fertility Patients Could Donate Embryos
Senate leaders from both parties agreed yesterday to schedule a vote on a package of bills that would loosen President Bush's five-year-old restrictions on human embryonic stem cell research.
With head counts suggesting there are enough votes to pass the legislation and with Bush having promised he would veto it, yesterday's action sets the stage for what could be the first full-blown showdown between the chamber and the president. http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...6062902051.html
A repub controlled congress passing legislation supported by about 2 to 1 of the American public and then vetoed by a republican president has to be bad news for dems.
"But the destruction of human embryos for research is opposed by many, including Bush, who has called them "society's most vulnerable members.""
Embryos are "society's most vulnerable members" ! It just keeps getting dumber.
Embryos are "society's most vulnerable members" ! Good Gad! A couple of embryos used to rented the apartment above me. It was terrible. Stomping around all the time. Playing loud music late at night. Terrible.

Yet somehow, a large number of them emerged from Real World War, not hating blacks, and not hating seeing women at the office in a role other than receptionist, and viscerally suspecting Daddy Warbucks when he continually preached that "what's good for the rich now, will sometime in the future be good for, y'know, the rest of you.

Spy Agency Sought U.S. Call Records Before 9/11, Lawyers Say
June 30 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. National Security Agency asked AT&T Inc. to help it set up a domestic call monitoring site seven months before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, lawyers claimed June 23 in court papers filed in New York federal court.
The allegation is part of a court filing adding AT&T, the nation's largest telephone company, as a defendant in a breach of privacy case filed earlier this month on behalf of Verizon Communications Inc. and BellSouth Corp. customers. The suit alleges that the three carriers, the NSA and President George W. Bush violated the Telecommunications Act of 1934 and the U.S. Constitution, and seeks money damages.
``The Bush Administration asserted this became necessary after 9/11,'' plaintiff's lawyer Carl Mayer said in a telephone interview. ``This undermines that assertion.''

Swift. a real American Hero, proof that at the end of the day the ideals we were sold in grade school actually stick for some folks, and why, at the end of the day, we'll beat the jihadists.

When I moved into my current office last year there were some derelict 50's era chairs covered in nasty vinyl in there. Our business manager was going to send them to surplus but gave them to me instead.
I refinished them and reupolstered them in a tiger print heavy chenille. Now everyone wants them.

BBQ sauce tends to be sweeter/thicker closer to the Mississippi River, and thinner/more vinegar-based as one moves away from it. I kinda like to strike a balance between the two. On ribs, dry rub, sauce on the side, please.

21st Century Canaries
Buzzards flap their wings over Wall Street
Vultures, beaks wide open, snatch their share of profits
Worker bees produce the honey
The bottom line is the cutting edge
that downsizes thousands and out sources the middle class’s jobs offshore to India and Asia.
The social fabric loomed at the end of the Great Depression slowly unravels.
In the 21st century, the coal miner’s canary becomes the displaced worker whose breakdown swells the rolls of Social Security Disability.

RAW STORY
Many well-known right-wing media figures -- including Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly -- are losing their Internet audiences, according to an analysis of Web site ratings by IPD Group and U.S. Politics Today.

On Thursday, Shakespeare's Sister checked other sites from the right and left at the same tracking service, Alexa.com, used in the analysis.
According to the blogger, Free Republic, Hugh Hewitt, World Net Daily, and Pajamas Media have all suffered at least a 19 percent decline, while the traffic at Raw Story, Crooks and Liars, and Think Progress has risen.

if it's the law of the Land, they ought to be willing to own up to their own sexual practices. under oath. if only to validate the sanctity of marriage and protect the citizenry from the the threat of Lesbian Witches.

Troops Facing Murder Probe
Atrocities Against Iraqi Family Alleged
By Jonathan Finer Washington Post Foreign Service Saturday, July 1, 2006; A01
BAGHDAD, June 30 -- The U.S. Army is investigating allegations that American soldiers raped and killed a woman and killed three of her family members in a town south of Baghdad, then reported the incident as an insurgent attack, a military official said Friday.
The alleged crimes occurred in March in the insurgent hotbed of Mahmudiyah. The four soldiers involved, from the 502nd Infantry Regiment, attempted to burn the family's home to the ground and blamed insurgents for the carnage, according to a military official familiar with the investigation, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was providing details not released publicly.
No charges have yet been filed in the case, which the official said was "in the very early stages."
Maj. Gen James D. Thurman, commander of the Army's 4th Infantry Division, to which the 502nd is attached, ordered the investigation into the killings more than a week ago, according to a terse statement released by the military Friday. A preliminary inquiry "found sufficient information existed to recommend a criminal investigation into the incident," the statement said. http://www.washingtonpost.com/

Thanks to all for commiserations on the death of my Maxine kitty. fortunately, she was pretty old and had led a fine life, so while the suddenness of her passing was traumatic, we were already thinking about it. She is missed, though; she was a much better person than any Republican I ever met or heard about, and far smarter than any troll we have tolerated, not to mention more attractive than the best Fox Noos bimbo.
But that could be said about any of our pets, I imagine. Thanks to all, and Fuck Bush. I hope his wife Condi shoots him in the face while he's getting a blowjob from Clarence Thomas.

Maxine was about 15, I'd guess. I've lost so many since i was a kid that it doesn't really hit very hard any more, but I think we're done replacing them. As we get older they get harder to provide for and deal with. I lived for many years in city apartments without pets, and with my lifestyle and the amount of traveling, it made sense.

UPDATE: AP Embed Gets Scoop on Latest Alleged U.S. Atrocity
By E&P Staff Published: June 30, 2006 12:05 PM ET
NEW YORK AP correspondent Ryan Lenz, embedded with the 101st Airborne Division in Beiji, Iraq, produced the latest news bulletin today concerning yetr another alleged U.S. atrocity in Iraq, and one of the worst yet. Lenz reported this morning that five U.S. Army soldiers are being investigated for allegedly raping a young woman, then killing her on March 12-- and three members of her family in Iraq. The soldiers also allegedly burned the body of the woman they are accused of raping. Iraqi police had been told about the killings three months ago. The U.S. contended the killings were by insurgents, until two or three soldiers spoke up. The New York Times followed on this report later in the afternoon: "The deaths were originally attributed by the military to 'insurgent activity,' American officials said. That implies that soldiers involved in the incident may have misreported it to their commanders, or that there may have been a cover-up in the chain of command, as is suspected in the case of the Haditha killings last November. "The latest investigation began on June 24, one day after two soldiers 'reported alleged coalition force involvement' in the deaths of the Iraqi family, the military said in a written statement." The Times also related: "The investigation is the fourth into suspected killings of unarmed Iraqis by American soldiers announced by the military in June. In May, it was disclosed that the military was conducting an inquiry into the deaths of 24 civilians in Haditha last November. " Maj. Gen. James D. Thurman, commander of coalition troops in Baghdad, had ordered a criminal investigation into the alleged killing of a family of four in Mahmoudiya, south of Baghdad, the U.S. command said. It did not elaborate. The AP's Lenz, who broke the story, was previously embedded with the 502nd Infantry Regiment in Mahmoudiyah. "The entire investigation will encompass everything that could have happened that evening. We're not releasing any specifics of an ongoing investigation," said military spokesman Maj. Todd Breasseale. "There is no indication what led soldiers to this home. The investigation just cracked open. We're just beginning to dig into the details."Lenz reported: "However, a U.S. official close to the investigation said at least one of the soldiers, all assigned to the 502nd Infantry Regiment, has admitted his role and has been arrested. Two soldiers from the same regiment were slain this month when they were kidnapped at a checkpoint near Youssifiyah. "At least four other soldiers have had their weapons taken away and are confined to Forward Operating Base Mahmoudiyah south of Baghdad. http://www.mediainfo.com/eandp/

So is it twice a day or semi-annual?
Hackett was excellent. He did this special on HBO about 1984 where he managed to make inane statements about sex with giraffes and fish into absolute gut-splitting humor.
To answer your question, again, it's all relative. Twice a day is about right for a 30-something with a healthy sex drive. Semi-annual would be a dream for a 70 year-old.

I've participated in the burning of several flags.
"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."
Remember when Bush did this umpteen times?
The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
I think I'll burn a union jack just to be different.

Hey, blowjobs cure cancer.AP) -- Women who perform the act of fellatio and swallow semen on a regular basis, one to two times a week, may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40 percent, a North Carolina State University study found.
Doctors had never suspected a link between the act of fellatio and breast cancer, but new research being performed at North Carolina State University is starting to suggest that there could be an important link between the two.
In a study of over 15,000 women suspected of having performed regular fellatio and swallowed the ejaculatory fluid, over the past ten years, the researchers found that those actually having performed the act regularly, one to two times a week, had a lower occurance of breast cancer than those who had not. There was no increased risk, however, for those who did not regularly perform.
"I think it removes the last shade of doubt that fellatio is actually a healthy act," said Dr. A.J. Kramer of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, who was not involved in the research. "I am surprised by these findings, but am also excited that the researchers may have discovered a relatively easy way to lower the occurance of breast cancer in women."
The University researchers stressed that, though breast cancer is relatively uncommon, any steps taken to reduce the risk would be a wise decision.
"Only with regular occurance will your chances be reduced, so I encourage all women out there to make fellatio an important part of their daily routine," said Dr. Helena Shifteer, one of the researchers at the University. "Since the emergence of the research, I try to fellate at least once every other night to reduce my chances."
The study is reported in Friday's Journal of Medical Research.
In 1991, 43,582 women died of breast cancer, as reported by the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Len Lictepeen, deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society, said women should not overlook or "play down" these findings.
"This will hopefully change women's practice and patterns, resulting in a severe drop in the future number of cases," Lictepeen said.
Sooner said the research shows no increase in the risk of breast cancer in those who are, for whatever reason, not able to fellate regularly.
"There's definitely fertile ground for more research. Many have stepped forward to volunteer for related research now in the planning stages," he said.
Almost every woman is, at some point, going to perform the act of fellatio, but it is the frequency at which this event occurs that makes the difference, say researchers. Also key seems to be the protein and enzyme count in the semen, but researchers are again waiting for more test data.
The reasearch consisted of two groups, 6,246 women ages 25 to 45 who had performed fellatio and swallowed on a regular basis over the past five to ten years, and 9,728 women who had not or did not swallow. The group of women who had performed and s

Very rare.
My aunt —a staunch Republican, a God-fearing grandmother, and an old country girl living in the reddest patch of Red America— said of the President: “He just can’t get anything done.”
She may as well have called him a godless commie sonofabitch.

America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves.... It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters.

Wheelchair-confined Richard Paey committed almost exactly the same violations of Florida prescription drug laws that radio personality Rush Limbaugh did, with a different result: Limbaugh's sentence, in May, was addiction treatment, and Paey's, in 2004, was 25 years in prison. Both illegally possessed large quantities of painkillers for personal use, which Paey defiantly argued was (and will be) necessary to relieve nearly constant pain from unsuccessful spinal surgeries after an auto accident, but which Limbaugh admitted was simply the result of addiction. (In fact, if Limbaugh complies with his plea bargain, his conviction will be erased.) Paey's sentence now rests with a state Court of Appeal. [Tampa Tribune, 2-8-06]

He's not a wingnut, just a boy raised in a repuke home who has no clue that today's repuke party is not his father's repuke party. I bought all three copies that Border's had, waited a week to purchase some more, and they don't have any more. I'll wait another few days then ask them to special order it.

SACRAMENTO (AP) - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's anti-terror office tracked political rallies for several months, a practice the state Attorney General's office says was a violation of free speech rights.
The governor's Office of Homeland Security received about 60 daily intelligence reports beginning in March, some containing details on the whereabouts and purpose of demonstrations throughout California, the Los Angeles Times reported.
State homeland security officials said information in the reports was compiled by SRA International, a company hired to provide counterterrorism analysis. The sources of the information were listed in some cases as federal law enforcement agencies, including the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, an investigative arm of the U.S. Homeland Security department.
When officials learned of the practice, they ordered it stopped, said agency spokesman Chris Bertelli.
Of the more than 60 reports, the Times obtained two - the only ones that contained information on political rallies, homeland security officials said. The office declined to release others.
Among the political activities cited in the reports were a rally outside a Canadian consulate office in San Francisco to protest the hunting of seals; an anti-war demonstration in Walnut Creek attended by Rep. George Miller and other officials; and a gathering at a Santa Barbara courthouse to support an anti-war protester facing federal trespassing charges.

The above article is an abridged story from the LA Times. Here is the original, which includes this:
Dresslar said staffers in Lockyer's office saw the reports and raised concerns with their superiors, who complained to the Office of Homeland Security.
"When we discovered their existence, we informed OHS officials that we had absolutely no use for that kind of information," Dresslar said. "Collecting information on protests has no legitimate anti-terrorism intelligence function. None. No intelligence agency has any need to maintain this kind of information."
The reports obtained by The Times contain summaries of news articles about the war in Iraq, animal rights activists and terrorism. One has a section titled "Upcoming California Protests," followed by summaries of the demonstrations. Each includes an entry for "officer safety issues." No issues are cited...
One account of the meeting is provided in a whistle-blower complaint filed by a former high-ranking official in the attorney general's office, Edward Manavian.
The complaint says homeland security information analyst William Hipsley proposed monitoring private conversations in state prisons between inmates and Islamic clergymen and, citing a potential national security threat from Iran, getting a list of Iranians living in California.

When Sen Specter gets up on the floor and declares he knew the military tribunals were unconstitutional, so he has gotten ready legislation to set up a substitute court process - and he's sworn to uphold the constitution, so he's publicly declaring he's in violation of his oath of office - then I do not know how we're going to prevent the executive from ignoring the laws.

Bush will certainly push for legislation, but I'm not sure the Republicans in Congress will go along.
It's one thing to sit idly by and do nothing to prevent what's been happening. It's quite another to actively vote to support a power grab by an unpopular President, just before an election.
I think what will happen is much talk about how "Democrats" are blocking the legislation in the House, when in truth many Republicans will be trying to avoid a vote.
And in any event, 40 Senators can hold it up. And probably will.

Oh, they could (as in in the realm of the possible), but it would be a royal pain to do, and be counterproductive at that (since the idea is NOT let the user know). It would take a pretty big distributed viral base and lots of other dependencies. Far, far, FAR more likely to be just plain ol' crapping out on the part of the computer.

I just got back from dropping my wife and young'un off at the airport. I was going to walk down to the gate with them, the first time I've done that sort of thing (as opposing to flying somewhere myself) in many years. I expected to be searched, had my DL out and everything, no big....but sadly, no!
You have to have a boarding pass to go down to the gate now. Now how the hell do you get a boarding pass if you are not, in fact, boarding? I would think a photo ID and going through the regular security check would do the trick. I'm a bit annoyed that the lovely booming airport voice (done by a friend on mine, which was a little weird in itself) didn't let me know this little nugget while I was at the check-in counter with them so I could have asked just how one gets a pass when one is not boarding.
I don't mind playing by the rules, but I do get pissed when I'm not told what the rules are until too late in the process. I wish I had been in a position to make a scene, but with hostages there (i.e. said wife and young'un) I couldn't be as melodramatic as I would have preferred. Arrrumph!

But the words don't mean anything. That's a big part of the problem with the Republican Party today. It's been hijacked by immoral charlatans who understand that most people don't watch CSPAN, that the "news media" won't show the most over-the-top demagoguery, and that most voters don't realize that their words are in direct contradition of their actions.
So if they're ranting about how important it is to pass a law (gay marriage, flag-burning, etc.), be confident that it will never pass.

Death is way too abstract a concept for these self-important assholes, and besides it's only the lower classes dying over there anyway. We'll be over there for years given the current political setup. One can only pray that November reverses our fortunes.

Robert Kuttner's column in the Boston Globe today describes the Republican fascist menace that looms over the US today.
As shown by recent Supreme Court decisions, democracy and civil liberties hang by a thread. Currently that thread is an 86 year old Justice Stevens and a flip-flopping Justice Kennedy.
Lose either one and the Bushboy regime will install more fascists like Alito or Roberts to join the already drooling Scalia and Thomas.
If America escapes from this threat it will probably be due to more luck than brains.

I just finished reading "The Hidden Power," Jane Mayer's article in the July 3 issue of the New Yorker about Addington and Cheney.
Talk about depressing.

Thomas is certainly the biggest joke the Supreme Court has seen in a long time. While I may not agree with sound legal reasoning, I can certainly respect it (not that Scalia hasn't kind of gone over the edge even on that point). But Clarence Thomas is just too damn dumb to be on the Supreme Court. Put facists on the Court if need be, but for crying out loud, at least get one with a semblance of a brain. Sheesh.

jac, good point. Also Diane. Needed; solid, quality work for reality-based gov't to return.
Unfortunately the hobgoblins that make me sure they're behind my computer freezeup are getting a hold on the slime below our decent society.

ABC ran an interesting program last night in which they showed that the USA is becoming more and more polarized.
Voting districts are becoming more Gooper or more Dem with each election.
As usual, ABC true to it's MSM spinelessness, equated the screeching rightwing religious freaks who tried to "save" Terri Schiavo and want to end abortion, stem cell research and gay marriage to those who want to end the war in Iraq and support marriage for all people.
ABC presented both sides as equally intolerant. What they failed to say was that one side wants use government to force their religious beliefs on others, while the other (majority of Americans) want to live and let live.
That would have been too "controversial" for ABC to say.

This is turning into a World Cup of promises. "We're doing our best to improve," Thierry Henry said this week on behalf of France. "We've got to raise our level," Mario Zagallo, Brazil's veteran assistant coach, remarked. "What's most important for a team that wants to win the title," he added, "is to know how to give more at the key moment." For no team is this need to make performance match potential more urgent than for England, and no one sees it more clearly than Steven Gerrard, in words that reflect his uncompromising directness.
When he was asked, on the eve of today's quarter-final against Portugal, whether England could win the tournament if they carried on playing the way they have played in their first four matches, he avoided the verbal formulations used by most of the squad, including the head coach, to deflect the unwelcome thought.

That goes without saying. But beating Diebold may require help from the Almighty.

Ruth, I'm not surprised we're becoming more polarized. As much as I sincerely love people like Kent and Tena and GWPDA, I would never dream of moving to a red state.

The menace of a fascist USA is only too real. If the Dems don't gain control of at least one house of Congress in the fall elections, the "gradual coup d'etat" by Bushboy and the Goopers will be complete.
With "one party government" they will install the next Supreme Court Justice they need so that the Court becomes a rubber stamp for the depraved moron in the WH, just like the Congress is.
"Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom," is an old truism and the American people better start practicing some vigilance or it's going to be too goddamn late!!!

I'm sure the right will suspect demonic intervention.
and the 'balance and fair' approach of ABC was also present in WaPo account yesterday of Webb in VA using Allen's unattractive middle name as being equivalent to Allen accusing Webb of cowardice.

I am not certain that anything fictional can break through our friend's fettered minds. Honestly, of late, I have been so disgusted with Americans. ANYONE - I mean ANYONE who thinks that these Republicans are correct is either:Incredibly stupid, Incredibly evil, or both. No middle ground here.
The more they say that we have to stay and die for their mistake the further away from reality they find themselves.
I honestly do not want to associate myself with such people.

Having dual citizenship is beginning to look more and more like an escape hatch from this fascist looney-bin that America has become.
The American majority are being led by a minority of greedy capitalists and, rightwing religious bigots who want to build an American empire using the blood and taxes of the poor and middleclass, while forcing their mythological beliefs upon us all.
However, even if I escape to Tuscany, how long before similar crazies take over the Italian government (again)???
