While American politicians and generals in Washington debate the possibility of civil war in Iraq, U.S. officers and enlisted men who patrol Baghdad daily say it has already begun.
They've got Bush saying "no, no, we aren't going to invade...that's absurd..."
Is it Mr. Bush? Is it really absurd? As absurd as trying to affirm that Iraq attacked us on 9/11?

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israel and Hizbollah exchanged missile strikes and fought gun battles on Saturday as the U.N. Security Council considered a resolution to end the conflict that has killed at least 800 people and ravaged south Lebanon.
The full 15-member Security Council received the French-U.S. draft to review before sending it to their governments for any suggested changes. A vote could follow on Monday or Tuesday, France's U.N. Ambassador Jean-Marc de la Sabliere said.
Even if world powers agree on the U.N. resolution, getting the warring parties to stop fighting may not be easy.
A Lebanese Foreign Minister official, Nouhad Mahmoud, said "no" when asked if Beirut supported the text. The document does not call for immediate Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon.

HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuban leader Fidel Castro is recovering satisfactorily from stomach surgery, the country's vice president said on Saturday, while government sources said he had started to eat and sit up in bed.
Brazilian officials denied a newspaper report they had been told by Cuban authorities the veteran revolutionary had a malignant stomach tumor and may never be able to return fully to power.
Vice President Carlos Lage, speaking on a trip to Bolivia, was the third Cuban official in the past two days to reassure the Communist-ruled nation that Castro was on the mend from surgery for internal bleeding.
But he gave no further details in the report by the Cuban state news agency Prensa Latina.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's top electoral court ordered a partial recount on Saturday in a fiercely contested presidential election, angering leftists who are threatening mass protests unless all votes are counted again.
The court's seven judges rejected demands to re-open every ballot box across Mexico and instead ordered a recount next week at 9 percent of the almost 130,500 polling stations.
Leftist challenger Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador wants a full recount of the more than 41 million votes cast in the July 2 election. His conservative ruling party rival Felipe Calderon won a razor-thin victory, but Lopez Obrador claims massive fraud.
The electoral court could still order many more ballot boxes opened.

Sugar
Corn syrup

High fructose corn syrup
Vegetable and/or animal shortening - containing one or more of partially hydrogenated soybean, cottonseed or canola oil, and beef fat.

Israeli forces have detained the Speaker of the Palestinian parliament at his home in the West Bank.
Aziz Dweik, also a key member of Hamas, which controls the government, was held after 20 Israeli vehicles surrounded his home in Ramallah.
The Israeli military confirmed the detention, saying Mr Dweik was a legitimate target as a Hamas leader.
Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniya condemned the action, accusing Israel of "piracy".

America loses if either wins
Which logically implies that America wins if they both lose. Which is an impossibility in the primary. If this refers to the final election you are saying that America wins if the Republican does.

Lebanon has rejected a draft UN resolution proposed by the US and France that calls for "full cessation of hostilities" between Israel and Hezbollah.
A senior political source said early on Sunday that "Lebanon does not agree with the draft UN resolution to end the war".
The draft was released on Saturday after Washington and Paris finally reached an agreement on the document's details on Saturday.
Speaking after a cabinet meeting held to discuss the document, Ghazi Aridi, the Lebanese information minister, said: "Even this draft is not final ... we will not discuss the intentions of this side or that.

Rush Limbaugh was traveling with four other men–including the producers of the hit show “24″–when he was detained over a mislabeled bottle of Viagra found in his luggage during a Customs search.
No wonder the wingnuts love "24." It's a cover for a sex ring that exploits toddlers and young animals.

He thought you were cool (pardon the pun, but it is true).
He had extraordinary circumstances occur in his life...lost his job on Valentine's Day of '05, and his ex-wife called him just before that and told him she was moving from Philadelphia back to AZ to be closer to the kids. Really, though, she wanted to be closer to him, and I'm assuming that all is well that ends well. Haven't heard from him since March 17, 2005 - although I will say that our friendship, if you want to call it that, ended on an extremely upbeat and positive note. He's had an interesting life, and I'm really happy for him because he's had some terrible things happen to him in the past.

So guess what? All that hubbub about those evil immigrants? It's all over!
With 6,000 National Guard troops deployed to Southwestern states, President Bush said Saturday he has fulfilled his pledge to help beef up border security and challenged Congress to give him legislation that will welcome more foreigners into the country.
Speaking in his weekly radio address, Bush said immigration law can only be successful if the get-tough border security to keep people from sneaking in is combined with opportunities for more immigrants to enter the country legally.
"By passing comprehensive immigration reform, we will uphold our laws, meet the needs of our economy and keep America what she has always been -- an open door to the future, a blessed and promised land, one nation under God," Bush said Saturday.
Well,
off to hunt for people to come to a Jerry McNerney fundraiser that can throw some real money at him. He's already raised $500k and is looking to match that by Labor Day.

Al-Qaeda's deputy leader says an Egyptian group has joined its network.
The Egyptian group, Jamaa Islamiya, is apparently a revived version of a group that waged a campaign of violence in Egypt during the 1990s but was crushed in a government crackdown.
"We announce to the Islamic nation the good news of the unification of a great faction of the knights of the Jamaa Islamiya ... with the al-Qaeda group," Ayman al-Zawahiri said in a videotape aired on Aljazeera on Saturday.
Al-Zawahiri said the Egyptian group was led by Muhammad al-Islambouli, the younger brother of Khaled al-Islambouli, who assassinated Anwar al-Sadat, the then Egyptian president, in 1979 and was later executed.

I'm sorry, but this sort of thinking just pisses me off. Is either one perfect? No. They're both rich, white, older men and I personally would be happy if I never had to vote for or support another one of those. Is one of them (Lamont) the lesser of two evils? Yes. And, in the real world, we have to keep working for the better choice and not allow the perfect to become the enemy of the good. I remember hearing that Gore was no different from Bush, but there are thousands dead today who'd be alive to testify differently if Bush hadn't perpetrated a coup.

“We don’t know who he is [He being Lamont], what he’d do for people like me,” said Jeanette Allen, 66, who recently retired from her job as a machine operator. “But you know, all those rich folks make me uncomfortable.”
Except for this:
"The Quinnipiac poll found that two-thirds of the Democrats who said they would vote for Mr. Lamont based their decision more on opposition to Mr. Lieberman than on support for Mr. Lamont."
I hope they are angry enough to go to the polls. The blues hairs always turn out, but if they turn out in force at the polls joe wins. Last poll I saw with a break down the only group joe had a lead with were 60 years+ .

India and Pakistan have expelled diplomats from each other's countries after Pakistan accused an Indian visa official of "undesirable activities".
Pakistani officials said Deepak Kaul, who worked at the Indian High Commission in Islamabad, was caught "red-handed" with sensitive documents.
India denied the allegation and expelled a Pakistani diplomat in return, India's foreign ministry said.
Relations have soured since train bombings in Mumbai (Bombay) last month.
More than 180 people died in the bombings, which India said were carried out by militants with support in Pakistan. Pakistan denied the allegation.

Turkey has begun building a major dam, despite criticism that the project will ruin an ancient archaeological site and displace thousands of people.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan led a ceremony to begin work on the Ilisu dam in the south-eastern Turkey.
Turkey says the $1.55bn (£800m) project will help irrigate vast areas of farmland and provide vital energy.
Critics argue that it will destroy ruins and artefacts at the Hasankeyf site dating back thousands of years.
Some 4,000 protesters held an overnight vigil near the dam site on the River Tigris, about 45km (28 miles) north of the Syrian border.

Russia has successfully launched a rocket carrying a European telecommunications satellite from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The Hot Bird 8 satellite will provide TV and radio broadcasting for Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
The launch comes 10 days after Russia's rocket carrying 18 satellites crashed shortly after lift-off in Baikonur.
Kazakhstan is demanding compensation for the environmental damage caused by the crash on 26 July.
It also banned further launches of Dnepr rockets.

Here start (or finish) your Saturday nights with this song.
I WILL SURVIVE
At first I was afraid, I was petrified.
When you said you had 10 inches, Lord I almost died!
But I'd spent so many years just waiting for a man that long,
That I grew strong,
And I knew that I could take you on ..
But there you are, Another lie,
I was ready for a Big Mac and you've brought me a French Fry!
I should have known that it was bullshit, just a sad pathetic dream,
Should have known there was no Anaconda lurking in those jeans!
Go on now go,
Walk out the door,
Don't you promise me 10 inches, then turn up with only 4!
Weren't you a brat to think I wouldn't find you out!?
Don't you know we're only joking when we say size don't count ?
[Chorus]
I will survive! I will survive!
Cuz as long as I have
batteries,
My sex life's gonna thrive!
I will always have good sex,
with a handful of latex!
I will survive! I will survive! .... Hey! Hey!
[Verse]
It took all my self control not to laugh out loud,
When I saw your little wiener standing tall and proud!
But to hell with all your egos and to hell with all your needs,
Now I'm saving all my lovin' for a cordless multispeed!
[Chorus]
I will survive! I will survive!
'Cuz as long as I have batteries,
My sex life's gonna thrive!
I will always have good sex,
With a handful of latex!
I will survive! I will survive! ... Hey! Hey!

For Lieberman's activist opponents, his failure to challenge Republicans aggressively--especially on Iraq and torture--is all that matters.
How quaint - people upset about being lied to about a war and our country's abandoning of any claim to being civilized.
Two Afghan policemen have been killed in a roadside bomb attack targeting a district chief in the south of the country, a local spokesman has said.
Shadi Khan escaped unhurt after the bomb hit his car in the province of Kandahar, spokesman Daud Ahmadi said.
Eight policemen were wounded in the blast, which Afghan officials blamed on Taleban insurgents.
Separately, a soldier from Nato-led troops died when his armoured jeep crashed in Kandahar, Nato said.

GAZA, Aug 6 (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike killed a Palestinian in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday, medics said, one day after five Palestinians were killed by Israeli missiles in the Rafah area.
Israeli forces swept into the southern region on Thursday to destroy what the army called "terrorist infrastructure" as part of a wider offensive against militants, launched after gunmen captured an Israeli soldier in a cross-border raid on June 25.
Medics said the Palestinian killed in the latest air strike was a civilian and that four other unarmed people were wounded.
An Israeli army spokesman said fire was directed towards a person spotted moving suspiciously towards Israeli forces operating in the area.
In internal Palestinian violence, gunmen shot and critically wounded the head of Palestinian military intelligence for the northern Gaza Strip and one of his bodyguards, security officials said.

"He's a dynamic leader," Tampa attorney Monica Lothrop gushes after Cheney's standard, hang-tough-against-terror speech. "It was just a thrill to be able to see him in person.
...
Five and half years into the Bush presidency, Cheney's image may have taken a beating overall but "he's still Elvis to a lot of the conservatives," says Marshall Wittmann, a Democratic Leadership Council analyst. "When he comes in, money and enthusiasm flow."
Why does Marshall Witmann even bother pretending to be a Democrat anymore?

Arthur enjoys sitting on top of the cover of the spa - but most of all, he enjoys standing on the top step of the pool, having a drink or two, paddling his foots... As for running water, irrigation day is beyond jolly, the warm water swirling thru the channel, no more than elbow deep, splashing, and then, afterwards, there is mud! Cool, fresh, clean mud! Heaven.

So far ours is afraid of the hose. Might be the hissing sound of the sprayer.
Russian police have held two suspects over the theft of more than 200 items from the famous Hermitage art museum, Russian news agencies report.
The arrests are said to have come after police pursued a lead from an antique dealer who on Friday returned one of the stolen items.
The theft - with an estimated value of $5m (£2.67m) - was discovered in July.
The Hermitage in St Petersburg is home to a massive collection of sculpture, paintings and historic artefacts.

They'd rather let someone die in order to allow Big Pharma not to lose any money:
"Eileen Bloom, a retiree who lives in the lakeside town of Sebring, Fla., has long ordered her medications from Canada, saving up to 50% on her prescription-drug bills. But twice in the past nine months, her medicine hasn't arrived.
Ms. Bloom, who suffers from diabetes, is one of tens of thousands of Americans whose drugs have been seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The seizures are the result of a quiet policy change at Customs last November, which has come under fire from members of Congress who say it is intended to protect U.S. drug makers' sales at high domestic prices."

In the 24-hour news cycle, tomorrow's bad news for Mel Gibson hits today: according to tomorrow's Sunday Herald Sun, Mel Gibson once had ties to the Australian League of Rights, a right-wing group well-known in Australia for anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial. Says the Herald Sun: "The league claims the world is run by a secret society of Jews." (Who, presumably, are responsible for all the wars in the world.)

First of all, I already knew Gibson was like this years ago with Passion, second of all I am a hell of a lot less worried about anti-Semitism than every other kind of bigotry right now, particularly Israeli and American Rethug racism, and third of all what kind of ties are we talking about here? Is this going to be something like with the Pope where they'll claim he had no choice? With a father like his he could probably argue he was abused or forced, depending on his age. And even there I'm much more worried about a fortmerly Nazi Pope than a formerly Nazi has-been actor.

Two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed on Saturday in clashes with Hezbollah guerillas in Lebanon.
A reservist soldier was killed and four other troops were injured when an anti-tank missile hit a home in which they took up position in the southern Lebanese village of Ayta a-Shab. The dead soldier is the first reservist killed in the IDF ground operation in Lebanon.
Four soldiers had already been killed in that village, also from an anti-tank missile attack on a home.
The village is about one kilometer north of the border with Israel, and is immediately across from the area where two IDF soldiers were abducted on July 12.

On the other hand, I personally cling hard to every Wrong Lifestyle Choice a single glutton can indulge. So I'm overweight, taking glucose intolerance medication without a clue as to why, and in recent months have had a bit of blessed herb to smoke after work-- which further enhances the dining experience.
So who the fuck am I kidding? Why should I have energy, eh?

Margaret Beckett last night rounded on 'spiteful' criticism of her performance as Foreign Secretary, suggesting she had been patronised because she was a woman.
The cabinet veteran also disclosed that she employs her husband as an unpaid adviser, following sniping over everything from his reported habit of 'hanging around' her office to her failure to visit Middle East troublespots. And in her first detailed response yesterday to the criticism, she pointedly told The Observer that her predecessor Jack Straw - who broke ranks by criticising Israel's military tactics - faced an even worse drubbing when he started.

A dear old friend, whom I saw marry his lover when The City of Portland was issuing same-sex marriage licenses, was diabetic, developed cancer, and had sleep apnea. His courage and lust for life never flagged through 3 rounds of chemo. He decided not to wear his sleep apparatus one night, and died in the night. I miss him a lot.

Thanks for your kind comment, Sarah dear. ♥ ♥. (Notice how I always get that little play on words in there? )
I do appreciate your point, which the sleep doctors and techies have also made. FWIW, I've acclimated myself to using the CPAP device fairly easily. Partly because I'm single and solitary , I guess. Funny, after I got my CPAP I kept hearing from various women at work about their husbands either refusing to use or speedily abandoning the thing. So I was worried that it might be uncomfortable or difficult.
It's no big deal; you just strap on the mask, turn off the light, and pretend you're Chuck Yeager off to break the sound barrier. Just count Gs instead of Zs.

fuuuuuck you, haloscum.
Rightwingers like David Brooks and Fred Barnes call the candidacy of Ned Lamont a “single issue” anti-war campaign, run by crazy people from the blogosphere, an “inquisition” inside the Democratic Party destroying the careers of “moderates” and “centrists” with a “litmus test” on the war in Iraq. They seem to want to return to the era before the 17th Amendment gave ordinary citizens the right to participate in the direct election of Senators. There were no “litmus tests” then. (Memo to Democrats: don’t take tactical political advice from Republicans, they probably don’t have your best interests in mind.)
We do not need more Liebermans. Just look at the state of the Democratic Party: losing the House of Representatives for the first time in forty years (1994); Gore/Lieberman (2000); Max Clelend, Dick Gephardt, the Senate (2002); Gray Davis (2003); Kerry/Edwards, Tom Daschle (2004). The “centrist” strategy of “Republican-lite” has failed miserably, bringing us wars, Constitutional abuses, deficits, signing statements, a judiciary modeled on Antonin Scalia, environmental degradation, and all of the other attendant civic atrocities of the Republican juggernaut.
The Democratic voters of Connecticut have the opportunity to begin the long process of cutting through the illusions of the war in Iraq, and extricating our country from the icy grip of the Republican Party.

Thanks for the Fisk links, Moonboo.
I really mean to read his book. But, to harmonize with Draco for another bar or two, I still have untouched copies of a critical edition of "Lolita" and "The Federalist Papers" and "War Is a Force, etc." and about five editions of "The Onion" I haven't gotten to yet! I read my daily digest of "Common Dreams" and similar net printouts during the commute.
And even though I'm very much a Bombadil who doesn't venture outside his borders, I'd love to visit England despite its wretched government and troubles. (If I ever do, high tea at Chez Moonbootica will be my equivalent of a royal reception.)

Moonbootica, re: Reality Hits, would Ariel Sharon do this?
I read somewhere, possibly (probably) through Juan Cole link, that Sharon, in fact, would not have done this, because he had established his cojones and did not need to. Olmert, on the other hand, being the relatively new kid on the block, could not do otherwise lest he be seen as being weak.
The piece indicated that Sharon would have negotiated re: prisoner exchange. I honestly don't know.

Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus, anglicized as Tertullian, (ca. 155–230) was a church leader and prolific author of Early Christianity. He was born, lived, and died in Carthage, in what is today Tunisia.
Tertullian denounced Christian doctrines he considered heretical, but later in life adopted views that came to be regarded as heretical themselves. He was the first great writer of Latin Christianity, thus sometimes known as the "father of the Latin Church". He introduced the term Trinity, (Theophilius to Autolycus - 115-181 - introduced the word Trinity in his Book 2, chapter 15 on the creation of the 4th day). as the Latin trinitas, to the Christian vocabulary[1] and also probably of the formula "three Persons, one Substance"

The US has increased its security operations in Baghdad with the first of about 3,700 extra troops arriving in the Iraqi capital.
US troops from the 172nd Stryker Brigade who have been redeployed from the northern city of Mosul, began appearing on Baghdad's streets on Saturday.
Some 50,000 Iraqi and US soldiers have been put on the streets of the city as part of an operation aimed at ending the sectarian bloodshed that has left thousands of Iraqis dead.
Last month, the US signalled that it was abandoning plans to cut the number of its troops in Iraq by the end of the year, and prolonged the 172nd's one-year tour by four months.

I'll find out how MTP turned out here, where so many good people watch and report on that toxic sludge so I don't have to.
I give Lamont credit for taking the bait; he's like Gary Cooper in "High Noon".
But maybe it will turn out to be more like that notorious JFK/Nixon debate series. That is, maybe Lamont will come off like the charming but serious and thoughtful candidate he is, especially in contrast to Jowly Joe's tired blitherings. It might just trip a collective readiness for someone fresh and new-- the same urge that's historically helped Democrats.
I suppose there will be no end of the usual tiresome pundit horse-race, boxing-match cliches afterwards. I trust that Somerby will scrutinize the MSM's reportage and analysis; IMO, he's at his best covering this kind of event.

Just now I came across two slugs fucking by my door. Their mantles were pinched and raised, revealing various usually invisible things like these ear-like holes on either side of the chest-like area. The main thing though was the very striking image being very natural ands beautiful and at the same time incredibly ugly. They were sort of wound in a double helix around eachother, hanging from a thick rope of lager-colored slime.

Was googling about and came upon this; http://www.theimage.com/crystali.../
carbonate.jpeg
[3] and this; http://abcnews.go.com/US/print?i...rint?
id=2277817
"The first mineral, carbonate, is typically formed on earth by the remains of living organisms that make shells and other skeletal parts out of minerals they extract from seawater. Some of those organisms can be quite tiny. So finding carbonate in ALH84001 could indicate the presence of ancient microbes in the rock.
The story is similar for magnetite, the other mineral of interest in ALH84001. Some bacteria produce extraordinarily small and pure magnetite crystals, then align the magnetic grains to make a microscopic compass needle that helps them navigate."
Ahh.. Don't just love strong healthy magnetic bones and brains??

Agave, Teddy is gorgeous beyond compare. However if you ever have to put down a "breed" on any official paperwork whatever (vaccinations, etc) describe him as a "Lab mix."
Rottie is one of those breeds which will cause many insurance companies to cancel your homeowners policy on. the. spot.

The conservative case for gays in the military:
Don't tell me, Beinart and little Jonah are getting worried that they might start the draft again so they're eager to have more and younger bodies ahead of them in the conscription.

Shrub to Goldstar mother: "Don't go selling it on eBay"
On Free Speech t.v. a couple of hours ago there was an "Iraq veterans for peace" rally, and a mother told about her few minutes of face time with Shrub. She's black and not only gave him a good verbal thrashing, but she asked for explanations about why the operation in which her son was killed went down the way it did. He said he didn't know. At the end of the meeting, "presidential coins" were passed to the families. When Shrub got to her again, he said to her, "Don't go selling it on eBay now."
She said that after this meeting, it was announced that Shrub will not be meeting with families any more. And she said that she told Shrub she doesn't know anything about eBay but is willing to sell the damned thing to anybody who wants it.

ndia's Supreme Court has asked the local subsidiaries of Coca-Cola and PepsiCo to disclose the ingredients in their soft drinks, amid allegations that they contain high levels of pesticide.
Last week, a New Delhi-based independent research body said it found pesticide residues in samples of Coke and Pepsi that were 24 times above the limits set by the Bureau of Indian Standards.
The Centre for Science and Environment in New Delhi said it carried out tests on 57 samples taken from 11 soft-drink brands made by Coca-Cola India and PepsiCo India, and found a "cocktail of three to five different pesticides", all apparently present in groundwater used to make the drinks.

Teachers have been told they should stop telling their pupils they are clever, because it is "uncool" and could put them off learning.
Instead, delegates at the 34,000-strong Professional Association of Teachers annual conference in Oxford heard yesterday, they should use words such as "successful".
Simon Smith, a teacher from Sweyne Park school in Rayleigh, Essex, told the conference: "I am sorry to say a culture has developed that mocks being clever. We should fight against it: change the language that we use, change something.

HIROSHIMA (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of people from around the world gathered in Hiroshima on Sunday to pray for peace and urge the world to abandon nuclear weapons on the 61st anniversary of the first atomic bombing.
In an annual ritual to mourn the more than 220,000 people who ultimately died from the blast, a crowd including survivors, children and dignitaries gathered at the Peace Memorial Park, near ground zero where the bomb was dropped.
"Radiation, heat, blast and their synergetic effects created a hell on Earth," said Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba.
Lamenting a global trend toward nuclear proliferation, Akiba called for a campaign to free the world of atomic weapons.

Pix included clowns trying to distract badly burned children during dressing changes. I asked him, "How do you deal with the anger, the rage?"

Hardline Islamic insurgent groups in Iraq are targeting a new type of victim with the full protection of Iraqi law, The Observer can reveal. The country is seeing a sudden escalation of brutal attacks on what are being called the 'immorals' - homosexual men and children as young as 11 who have been forced into same-sex prostitution.
There is growing evidence that Shia militias have been killing men suspected of being gay and children who have been sold to criminal gangs to be sexually abused. The threat has led to a rapid increase in the numbers of Iraqi homosexuals now seeking asylum in the UK because it has become impossible for them to live safely in their own country.
Ali Hili runs the Iraqi LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) group out of London. He used to have 40 volunteers in Iraq but says after recent raids by militia in Najaf, Karbala and Basra he has lost contact with half of them. They move to different safe houses to protect their identities, but their work is incredibly dangerous.

What the Bushes could never deal with, if they were in Canada, is that Canadian politics is on par with the industrialized world and not the wild south. An election is automatic if the ruling administration grows unpopular enough. Not GHW nor GW nor Jeb could deal with that, which is why they spend so much breath on on how he doesn't do polls.

Nah, we'll intercept....
You'll enjoy this tho - why I have to rusticate? I cannot possibly afford health insurance in this country after I 'retire' in August. All I can do is move north to Canada, buy a little house and for 7 months out of the year, attest to that as my real residence - entitling me to insurance at $49US/month. The cost of buying a house is about half the price of buying inadequate health insurance in the US.... Cute, eh?

Under the [Ohio] law, passed by the Republican-led state legislature in January 2006, paid voter registration workers must personally submit the voter registration cards to the state, rather than allow the organizations overseeing the drives to vet and submit them in bulk.
By requiring paid canvassers to sign and put their addresses on the voter registration cards they collect, and by making them criminally liable for any irregularities on the cards, the rules have made it more difficult to use such workers, who most often work in lower-income and Democratic-leaning neighborhoods, where volunteers are scarce.
“In Washington, D.C., Congress may have passed the voting rights bill to extend voter participation,” said Katy Gall, organizing director of Ohio Acorn, an advocacy group that focuses on poor neighborhoods. “But out here at the grass roots, things are headed in the opposite direction.”
Ms. Gall said the group had collected fewer than 200 new voter registration cards in the last month, down from an average of 7,000 a month before the regulations took effect on May 2.
“Quit whining,” said the Rev. Russell Johnson, the pastor of Fairfield Christian Church, who chuckled while shaking his head. “We work with the same challenges that everyone else does and we’re not having trouble.”
Surrounded by cornfields and middle-income homes, Mr. Johnson’s 4,000-member evangelical church in Lancaster, Ohio, is part of a coalition of conservative groups that aims to sign up 200,000 new voters by November, he said.
In the past several elections, Republicans have been effective in registering voters and getting them to the polls. Mr. Johnson said conservatives were better able to depend on voter registration volunteers because the conservatives had a message that attracted people who were willing to work free.

GWPDA, For one of my classes, the text was a very good book, Social Injustice and Public Health. It talks a LOT about how our health care finance system is barbarous. In another, I had to write an expository paper on the UN statement of health as a human right. We don't come NEAR meeting the UN Convention. (That's okay, though. Congress has never ratified Pres. Carter's signing anyway.)

Actually, when you figure in local and provincial taxes, etc, Canadians pay less than Usians at the bottom of the scale, the same for the middle class and a little bit more for the rich.

House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo) has said that he will make sure that the 110th Congress will NOT address the climate problem. He offered as his reason that "the information is not adequate," despite the fact that, as long ago as 2001, over a thousand climate experts published a report stating that "There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities." Thinkprogress.org reports that 61 members of congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, are co-sponsoring Rep. Henry Waxman's (D-Ca) Safe Climate Act that would mandate the creation of an official response to the climate problem. To see if YOUR representative or senator is behind this important act, click here.

how strange for a NYT article: the good work of Hezbollah.
I can handle the thread turning Canadian - you guys are just across the river, after all, and it's not like I don't hear "aboot" enough on the Red Wing broadcasts. Not to mention having been invaded by Tim Horton's.
I still have to plan my pilgrimage to Stratford. If I can stretch the budget - or decide I can live with breaking it - maybe I'll do a weekend and catch a couple of plays.

No, actually, you're not. There is nothing tasty that involves fennel. Fennel is death. It is Satan Spawn. It is the quantum singularity of evil cooking, from which no good taste can escape. It's infinitely worse than okra.

Hi everybody!!
I'm having a wonderful time in CT!! I met Ned Lamont today - shook his hand - he's impressive in person.
I went to eat in New Haven and saw the Kiss Float - it's also very impressive in person.
I've met many of the CT bloggers and commenters from Kos, MYDD, firedoglake - (t-rex tonight),
I've been working hard - but finding it fun and rewarding, too. (canvassing Dem voters and working on the phone banks, too)
Do you believe in fate? - I met "Portia vz" today - we had a blast canvassing for Ned. She's a lovely person. Be nice to her.
I thought I'd give you all an update from the campaign. Any questions?

The purple fennel looks nice in the garden until you find out what those seeds do in nature. I have a backyard of purple fennel right now.

I like the bulb fennel, can't stand the seeds. Or cumin seeds. They use them in some types of sourdough breads and I get an upset stomach from eating them.

The fact is, you moonbats are all anti-Semites, who routinely post doctored photographs of Lebanese casualties in order to discredit our Holy War against Islamofascism in Lebanon.

Hmmm.. I haven't seen anything in sourdough up of that nature... everyone uses caraway or something leafy (yum, pesto bread).
My SO hates all things that taste anything like licorice.
Well, that beats the confusion over the term "fiddlehead" at least. (In Canada, it's not a crab).

Oh, and the energy shortage will be but a memory soon, if we can get the death grip of the oil companies off of our governments:
Final thought:
In the conspiracy theorist circles k&y travel in, there is a scary yet hilarious anecdote from Werner von Braun's secretary. She says he claimed that the Cold War was just a joke set up by war profiteers and their government. They have to have someone to scare the people into not thinking, and right now it's communists. Later on, it'll be rogue states -- sort of like commies but not in a uniform bloc. Then it'll be terrorists (commies but without a state, back to the revolutionary status).
All of this came true: after the fall of communism, the self-annointed terror experts like Malkin were barking about "rogue states." This was never very convincing: unlike the Soyuz, the economic imbalance of the rogue states guaranteed that the best America could hope for was Mogadishu. Imagine Vietnam without any domino theory behind it: a purer imperialist insanity. Followed of course by the terrorists.
And the funny part after the scary part? Here Werner grinned, the ending edges of his words eaten up by laughter: after the terrorists, he told his secretary, it's to be space aliens!
