Sadly, Digby nails the most important point, dead-on:

Pathetic.

Which is why Dean and Reid are denouncing Lieberman and backing Lamont? And Hillary is blasting Cheney and calling for Rumsfeld's head? And why Democrats are united because of Lamont's nomination? And even beltway pundits now admit the House may go Democratic (something they said was impossible 3 months ago)?

How was the security at ORD?
Didn't have to go through screening, so didn't see. Not much of a visible presence inside the terminal, though--just announcements on the PA about not bringing liquids onto the planes.
The TSA did inspect one of my bags. Didn't steal anything this time.

Strategic Communication Laboratories, a small U.K. firm specializing in "influence operations" made a very public debut this week with a glitzy exhibit occupying prime real estate at Defense Systems & Equipment International, or DSEi, the United Kingdom's largest showcase for military technology. The main attraction was a full-scale mock-up of its ops center, running simulations ranging from natural disasters to political coups.

The track records is certainly unimpressive. But Bush is down to 33% (five points above Cheney) with no help from the Dems. A majority of the country wants out of Iraq, again with no help from the Dems. A majority even wants the Dems to run Congress, again with no help from the Dems.
I don't think Bush has the ability, or the credibility, to turn this thing around now, no matter what the Dems do. And the Dems seem to have learned from the loss of Lieberman.
But we'll see....

Oh for that damn time machine!
The very high probability right now is that the Democrats will retake the House. The Senate I would put at no better than 50-50, today.
However, I think that three more months of GOP Business As Usual will push another ten percent of the public to the Democrats.
Lamont is going to win his seat. Lieberman will get, oh, thirty or even forty percent, but that's it. The Republican will get six or eight percent; a lot of Republicans will vote for Lieberman rather than their own guy, as he has a much greater chance of winning, and he acts, let's face it, indistinguishably from the Republican senators.

Terror suspects still in custody
Britain remains on the highest state of terror alert as detectives continue to question more than 20 suspects over the alleged transatlantic liquid bomb plot.
With detectives in the UK quizzing suspects seized in Thursday's dawn raids, officials in Pakistan singled out British-born Rashid Rauf - who was arrested there ahead of the UK swoops - as a "key player".
Pakistan said the arrest of Rauf and others in the country had "triggered" Thursday's dawn raids in London, Birmingham and High Wycombe, Bucks - foiling what police believe was a plot to murder thousands of passengers mid-air on up to 10 aircraft.
Among 24 people arrested in Britain was Tayib Rauf, 22, from Birmingham - believed to be Rashid's brother.

Source: U.S., U.K. at odds over timing of arrests
British wanted to continue surveillance on terror suspects, official says
By Aram Roston, Lisa Myers, and the
NBC News
Updated: 4:58 p.m. ET Aug 12, 2006
LONDON - NBC News has learned that U.S. and British authorities had a significant disagreement over when to move in on the suspects in the alleged plot to bring down trans-Atlantic airliners bound for the United States.
A senior British official knowledgeable about the case said British police were planning to continue to run surveillance for at least another week to try to obtain more evidence, while American officials pressured them to arrest the suspects sooner. The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the case.
In contrast to previous reports, the official suggested an attack was not imminent, saying the suspects had not yet purchased any airline tickets. In fact, some did not even have passports.
The source did say, however, that police believe one U.K.-based suspect was ready to conduct a "dry run." British authorities had wanted to let him go forward with part of the plan, but the Americans balked.
At the White House, a top aide to President Bush denied the account.

Depending upon who you ask, I was alive for as much as all of 1969.
My point is that Rove has been successful pushing the manly man frame for several election cycles, and the Dems should wise up and realize you don't beat it by knuckling under. Reality is that these are not strong men, they're bullies and thugs, the kind of guys in the movies that real men stood up to and rode out of town on a rail.
Commander Codpiece only looks like a "real man" in the absence of actual strength of character. And sadly, the Dems have too long been all about an absence of strength of character. We already know they are going to play the "strong father" frame to the hilt over the next several months. It's way past time for Dems nationally to inhabit a different kind of strong father, the kind who doesn't get everyone killed through reckless stupidity.

Israeli helicopter shot down over Lebanon
An Israeli military helicopter has been shot down tonight over southern Lebanon by Hizbullah guerrillas, according to Israeli security officials. The Israeli army has confirmed the report and said that there were an unspecified number of people wounded in the attack.
The four-man aircraft was shot down in the Maryamein valley near the village of Yater, and other helicopters scrambled to the area to try to rescue the crew. Israel's Channel 10 TV reported that the helicopter had been brought down by an anti-tank missile.

Ordinary friends who grew devout together
As small boys they walked the few hundred yards to primary school together every day. At 3.15pm they ran out of the school gates to kick a football in the street and buy sweets in the nearby shop. When they became teenagers their interests were those of most young men: Premiership football, girls, clothes and music; and as young adults they grew devout together.
In Walthamstow, which emerged yesterday as one of the focal points of the alleged plot to blow up transatlantic airliners, those who knew the nine young men arrested from their family homes by anti-terrorist police on Thursday morning insisted they were ordinary boys with unremarkable lives.
Gerstein of course is the political genius who's managed to "advise" his pal Tom Suozzi to an impressive 60-point deficit to Eliot Spitzer in the NY Democratic primary.

Minister criticises Muslim letter
Foreign Office minister Kim Howells has criticised Muslim leaders for condemning British foreign policy.
An open letter, signed by three Muslim MPs, three peers and 38 community groups, said the stance on the Middle East has put civilians at risk.
They went on to say that UK policy has given "ammunition to extremists".
But Mr Howells denied there was a "rational connection" and said "no government" formulates policy based on a perceived risk from terrorists.
Downing Street, meanwhile, said Tony Blair "stands ready" to meet Muslim representatives when he returns to the UK.

Reid warns terror threat remains
Recent counter terrorism arrests do not mean the threat to the UK has ended, Home Secretary John Reid has said.
His warning comes as police continue to hold 23 people over an alleged plot to blow up transatlantic jets.
Mr Reid warned against "complacency or self-congratulation" as the threat posed by extremists is "ongoing", as are efforts to combat it.
Sources have told the BBC potential links between the case and the 7 July 2005 attacks are being investigated.
BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera said officials are also worried other groups, with no connection to the latest alleged plot, could be inspired to carry out their own attack.

Cause for optimism as markets regain lost ground
Financial markets got back to normal yesterday as shares in British Airways stabilised, oil prices recovered, the pound firmed and hotel groups shrugged off the effects of the terror alerts. Experts predicted some short-term damage to tourism, but said the latest scare would have little effect on the economy.
The FTSE 100 had slumped on Thursday, rattled by fears of lost airline business and a drop in the fuel demand. But stocks had an easier ride yesterday, with oil shares such as BP leading gains for much of the day before a late-afternoon dip. British Airways recovered some ground early on and ended little changed, and shares in InterContinental Hotels rebounded almost 1%. The pound also reversed Thursday's losses to strengthen against the dollar and the euro.

Surprise over arrest of cake firm brothers
Two of the men arrested in Thursday morning's anti-terror raids were brothers who come from a family that runs a cake and confectionery business in Birmingham, it emerged yesterday.
Tayib Rauf, 22, was one of 24 men held and yesterday his name appeared on a Bank of England list of 19 men whose assets had been frozen. Tayib's brother Maroof, 19, was also arrested but his name is not on the Bank of England list.
Friends of the brothers expressed astonishment yesterday that they could be involved in such a plot. "I have known the family for 22 years," said Mohammad Arif, 50, who lives close to the Rauf family in Ward End, a multi-ethnic area close to the city centre and near a house raided by police after last year's London bombings.

Reid pushes for ban on next wave of EU workers
· Plan to delay rights when Bulgaria and Romania join
· Hoon argues in cabinet to keep open-door policy
Plans to deny Romanians and Bulgarians full rights to work in the UK are being considered by John Reid. Both countries join the EU in January and the potential influx of workers is causing divisions in cabinet.
The home secretary, supported by the work and pensions minister, John Hutton, is understood to be considering a temporary ban. But the Foreign Office wants Britain to keep its open-door policy for EU workers.
The ban is opposed by the Europe minister, Geoff Hoon, who believes it might be a breach of undertakings to the countries, due to join the EU less than 15 years after breaking their ties with the Soviet Union. Mr Hutton is understood to feel that Britain is not ready politically for another potential big influx of EU migrant workers - especially since the number from Romania and Bulgaria could be large, owing to their relatively undeveloped economies and 8% unemployment.
There are also fears that an exodus of key workers could have a devastating impact on the countries themselves.

Oil refinery gives greenhouses a boost with CO2 pipeline
A project to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from oil refineries by using the gas as "fertiliser" in commercial greenhouses has been so successful it is being extended.
The project, which adds new meaning to the term "greenhouse gas", is the first in the world. It distributes CO2 from Shell's Pernis refinery outside Rotterdam to 400 greenhouses, saving a large amount of natural gas each year, which is equivalent to 170,000 tonnes of CO2.
The companies behind the venture, Hoek Loos and Voker Wessels are now expanding the operation to supply a further 100 greenhouses. Before the project was launched last year the greenhouses, which grow vegetables and flowers, used to generate CO2 by burning natural gas. By tripling the concentration of the gas inside the greenhouse they allow the plants to photosynthesise more quickly. This boosts productivity by up to 25% and cuts growing time, but the CO2 ended up in the atmosphere.

From Dong to Waad
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Hizbollah guerrillas shot down an Israeli helicopter in southern Lebanon on Saturday using what they said was a new type of missile.
ADVERTISEMENT
The Israeli army said it was the first aircraft shot down in Lebanon since its war with Hizbollah erupted on July 12.
Israeli media said there were casualties but did not say how many. A Hizbollah statement said the helicopter was shot down in a valley near the southern village of Yater, 6 km (4 miles) north of the border at 10 p.m. (1900 GMT).
The statement said the missile was called a "Waad."

One of my best friends - I hate to say this because I love her dearly - is 4'11" and weighs 250 pounds. She cannot lose weight to save her soul. In high school, she was a lilting one o five and was a finalist in the state gymnastics championship back in the 70s.

So when you deconstruct literature, you literally take the book apart, do you? Pages, spine, glue, everything?
Only the author's intent matters. That is why authors must be killed.

Caught on camera: police chief gets up to speed as a Druid
As the chief constable of North Wales Police, he is also unofficially known as the "godfather of the speed camera" and the head of the "traffic Taliban".
As of yesterday, Richard Brunstrom will also be known by the bardic name of "spider" after he became a druid at the National Eisteddfod of Wales in Swansea. "Spider" translates into Welsh as Prif Copyn and is a pun on the Welsh phrase for chief constable (prif gwnstabl).
Mr Brunstrom was among 21 initiates, including members of parliament, to the Gorsedd of Bards in a rainswept ceremony in the Eisteddfod field yesterday.

Another day in the forgotten war
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Police found a dozen bodies trapped in a grate in the Tigris River, and a roadside bomb killed two U.S. soldiers on a foot patrol south of Baghdad Saturday as nearly 50 violent deaths were reported across Iraq.
....
The 12 bodies were found in Suwayrah, 25 miles south of Baghdad, at one of a series of metal grates fixed in the river to block debris, Mamoun al-Rubaie of the Kut city morgue said.
All were men between 35 and 45 years old and had been bound, blindfolded and shot in the head or chest, al-Rubaie said. They appeared to have been the victims of sectarian death squads that operate in the religiously mixed communities in the Baghdad area.
"See, I just can't keep up with literary theory. I thought the author's intent DIDN'T matter anymore and THAT's why authors must be killed."

Chavez to pay Castro a birthday visit
HAVANA (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he would fly to Havana to share birthday cake with Fidel Castro, who was reported on Saturday to be walking, talking and working a bit in the clearest signs yet the ailing Cuban leader was recovering.
Chavez, Castro's close leftist ally, said he would give the bearded revolutionary a dagger and a cup carried by 19th century liberation hero Simon Bolivar as gifts for his 80th birthday on Sunday.
"Since I already drank coffee from the cup, tomorrow I will take it to Fidel Castro as a present. Fidel, now you know, there will be no surprise tomorrow, this is your present," the chatty Chavez said in a Caracas press conference.
Castro has not been seen publicly since he temporarily ceded power to his younger brother on July 31 because of surgery for internal bleeding.
As far as I know there has been no democrat that has screwed the democrat party so much since the days of the southern rat bags as has our friend Leiberman. Zell Miller was such a fool he had little effect.
At least Zell was honest about what he was. Witness his full-blown fascist rant at the GOP convention. There was no question he had abandoned the Democrats. But Joe and his support structure are still trying to claim that they are the very heart and soul of the Democratic Party.

Wikipedia: A merkin (first use, according to the OED, 1617) is reported to be a pubic wig, worn by prostitutes after shaving their genitalia to eliminate lice or to disguise the marks of syphilis.

How did you people make it through grade school without learning about merkins? They were all the rage back when it was prudent to shave down to avoid cooties. Low riders drop another inch and they'll be back in style.

Forced steriization is having control of one's own reproductive system?
and your evidence to prove your assertion is what, exactly. now we all know you are a dipshit, but Sanger's quote, or evidence supporting her support for forced mass sterilizations, would be where, exactly? get googling, monkey boy, or else you are, as usual, full of shit.
and no, I don't mean Sangers support for eugenics, I mean an explicit call for "forced mass sterilizations"
I kind of liked Baudolino, maybe because I knew nothing about the Fourth Crusade. BTW, is there a good movie about the Crusades? I thought Kingdom of Heaven had a few moments, but my biggest impression was how good-looking Orlando Bloom was. And no, I'm not gay.

Merkin" is also used to refer to a male sex-toy in the humorous novels of Tom Sharpe. Both the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary and The Joy of Sex define the Merkin as an "artifical vagina".
"Merkin" has also been used as a slang term for an American since the 1960s. (Although it is usually pronounced as "murrakin.") The OED reports that the term has become common internet slang for Americans or American English (it is regularly used, for example, on the newsgroup alt.fan.pratchett, and has spread from there to some other Discworld fan groups). "Murrikan" has been spelled many ways, many of which are homonyms and only coincidentally sound like merkin, for example "murcan" or "murkan". "Merrikan" is the English-descended language featured in Katherine Kerr's science fiction novels.
In gay slang, a merkin means the "official" male companion of a closeted female homosexual used to help allay suspicion that she is a lesbian (i.e., the male equivalent of a beard).

More inconvenient facts about Sanger for trollie. Apparently, li'l brownshirts like him have been distorting her positions pretty much since the words left her mouth. Here's something she *actually* wrote:
Eugenists imply or insist that a woman's first duty is to the state; we contend that her duty to herself is her first duty to the state. We maintain that a woman possessing an adequate knowledge of her reproductive functions is the best judge of the time and conditions under which her child should be brought into the world. We further maintain that it is her right, regardless of all other considerations, to determine whether she shall bear children or not, and how many children she shall bear if she chooses to become a mother.

U.S., U.K. at odds over timing of arrests
"LONDON - NBC News has learned that U.S. and British authorities had a significant disagreement over when to move in on the suspects in the alleged plot to bring down trans-Atlantic airliners bound for the United States.
A senior British official knowledgeable about the case said British police were planning to continue to run surveillance for at least another week to try to obtain more evidence, while American officials pressured them to arrest the suspects sooner. The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the case.
In contrast to previous reports, the official suggested an attack was not imminent, saying the suspects had not yet purchased any airline tickets. In fact, some did not even have passports."

CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President George W. Bush told Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora on Saturday that he hopes a new U.N. resolution will dismantle what he called Hizbollah's "state within a state" in southern Lebanon.
The U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution on Friday calling for a "cessation of hostilities" in the war between Israel and Lebanon's Hizbollah militia that has killed about 1,000 Lebanese and 123 Israelis and displaced more than 1 million people.
White House National Security spokesman Frederick Jones said Bush called Siniora and the two spoke for eight minutes about he resolution "and their common efforts to bring about a cessation of hostilities."

dipshit clearly supports overpopulation while at the same time thinks that poor people should just stop having kids.
From the above link:
Unable to foment popular opposition to Margaret Sanger's accomplishments and the organization she founded, Sanger's critics attempt to discredit them by intentionally confusing her views on "fitness" with eugenics, racism, and anti-Semitism. Margaret Sanger was not a racist, an anti-Semite, or a eugenicist. Eugenicists, like the Nazis, were opposed to the use of abortion and contraception by healthy and "fit" women (Grossmann, 1995). In fact, Sanger’s books were among the very first burned by the Nazis in their campaign against family planning ("Sanger on Exhibit," 1999/2000). Sanger actually helped several Jewish women and men and others escape the Nazi regime in Germany ("Margaret Sanger and the ‘Refugee Department’," 1993). [snip]
Although Sanger uniformly repudiated the racist exploitation of eugenics principles, she agreed with the "progressives" of her day who favored: incentives for the voluntary hospitalization and/or sterilization of people with untreatable, disabling, hereditary conditions, the adoption and enforcement of stringent regulations to prevent the immigration of the diseased and "feebleminded" into the U.S., placing so-called illiterates, paupers, unemployables, criminals, prostitutes, and dope-fiends on farms and open spaces as long as necessary for the strengthening and development of moral conduct.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America finds these views objectionable and outmoded. Nevertheless, anti-family planning activists continue to attack Sanger, who has been dead for over 30 years, because she is an easier target than the unassailable reputation of PPFA and the contemporary family planning movement.
Sanger was not perfect by any means, but I love that trollie believes quoting a contextless sentence is "proof" of anything other than his utter dishonesty.
She just thought that "darkies" (her word) and other defectives should not be allowed to reproduce. In fact, she called for mass foced sterilization.

A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." His disciples had gone into the twon to buy food. The Samaritan woman said to him, "how can you, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman for a drink? (For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans). Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God and who is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."
The Weoman said to him, "sir, you do not even have a bucket and the cistern is deep' where then can you get this living water?" Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this cistern and drank from it himself with his children and his flocks?" Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst' the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

The Nazis took over local government and the police. The Nazis started to replace anti-Nazi teachers and University professors. Hitler set up the Gestapo (the secret police) and encouraged Germans to report opponents and 'grumblers'. Tens of thousands of Jews, Communists, Protestants, Jehovah's Witnesses, gypsies, homosexuals, alcoholics and prostitutes were arrested and sent to concentration camps for 'crimes' as small as writing anti-Nazi graffiti, possessing a banned book, or saying that business was bad.

I read through some old manuals that were used by nurses in the 1930s in the UK, they seemed fascistic to me in certain respects.
However one should look at them in the context of the time. Racial Eugenics while common in the 30s have become utter taboo today.
Almost any political or scientific commentator said things in 1930s that are racist to us today but ordinary then. The Nazis were in a different class for obvious reasons...comparing the primitive statements of someone like Sanger and Hitler and then lumping them in with todays pro-choicers is a stretch. prominent Republicans voiced similar ideas back then too doncha know?...
Tur,
The Nazis shut persecuted and killed off all the people that the left hold dear and more... Unions, artists, queers, leftists, minorities (blacks, jews, gypsies) intellectuals, journalists etc.
Any rightwinger who attempts to pin the Nazis on the left is a freaking idiot.
Um, trollies, I realize you're not dumbfuck as all that, but Hitler's use of the word socialist did not make him a liberal. Or a socialist for that matter.
We should tried harder to understand Hitler. Attacking him unprovoked was a warcrime. We should have negotiated with him.
It's bad enough that we have to put up with trolls, but at the very least, couldn't we have some trolls that aren't such fucking morons?
If you've traveled around the world, you'll find many cultures that have adopted some of the more artful hippie icons. Celebrate art. Celebrate hippies.

Hitler basically followed Mussolini's "innovation" on Socialism: Mussolini argued (in order to lure the working classes) that he was in favor of Socialism. Only that Marx got it wrong: it wasn't a struggle between classes WITHIN nations, it was a struggle BETWEEN nations, some of which were 'bourgeois' and some of which were 'proletarian.'
Therefore, Italy and Germany were up & coming 'proletarian' nations which had to overthrow the ruling 'bourgeois' nations of Britain and France.
It was another load of horse crap from fascist propagandists, but then, fascists have never been known to care much about whether what they said was true or not -- it was true if the glorious road to nationalism made it true.
Oops -- forgot above:
And that's why it was called "National" Socialism, because it was played as a struggle BETWEEN nations, as opposed to "regular" Socialism, which was actually an argument about the working classes and the bourgeoisie, and wasn't just a marketing tool for fascists.
