Chad has given the oil companies Chevron Corp. and Petronas a 24-hour deadline to leave the country for not paying taxes.
Talking on state-run radio on Saturday, Idriss Derby, the president of Chad, asked both the companies to leave the country for refusing to pay taxes:
"Chad has decided that as of tomorrow (Sunday) Chevron and Petronas must leave Chad because they have refused to pay their taxes."
The president gave the oil production consortium that is led by Exxon Mobil, a deadline of just 24 hours to start making plans to leave.

OT: Chad orders oil giants to leave
Chad has given the oil companies Chevron Corp. and Petronas a 24-hour deadline to leave the country for not paying taxes.
Might I wonder if some other company offerred a larger bribe?

NTodd: Another question: Why does Atrios never link to me?
Throw the man a bone, and he wants the whole damned skeleton!
The decision came a day after Derby ordered his government to take a greater role in the production of oil, which is viewed as a way to improve the country's ailing economy.
On Friday, Hourmadji Moussa Doumgor, a Chad government spokesman, told reporters that Derby wanted greater profits from oil production.
(snip) Output
From October 2003 to December 2005, the consortium exported some 133 million barrels of oil from Chad, according to information compiled by the World Bank.
Chad itself earned $307 million, or about 12.5 per cent on each barrel exported.
Not a member of OPEC, Chad is one of Africa's newest oil producers.
Another question: Why does Atrios never link to me?
'cause all you do is prattle endlessly on about bio-fuels........that, and your reputation involving a pantal phobia.

Wow! That guy who's suing someone who took his boat to rescue Katrian victims takes the wanker of wankers award.
I hope if this case really goes to court, the defense asks him:
- Didn't you have theft coverage on you boat, cheapskate? Did you already get paid for it?
- Why wasn't your ass out there rescuing your neighbors?

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - Vinicio Aguilar, a radio journalist in Guatemala, was jogging near his house one morning this week when two men drove up on a motorcycle, shot him in the face and left him for dead.
Aguilar, who survived, believes the attack was related to the daily call-in talk show he hosts, which regularly covers topics like organized crime, corruption and tax evasion by big businesses.
"I think a pistol shot in the mouth is a clear message to silence me," he said, speaking through a wired-shut jaw from his hospital bed.

Amarah, Iraq — Iraqis looted a military base vacated by British troops and stripped it of virtually everything removable on Friday, an indication of possible future trouble for U.S.-led coalition forces hoping to hand over security gradually to the Iraqi government.
Men, some with their faces covered, ripped corrugated metal from roofs, carried off metal pipes and backed trucks into building entrances to load them with wooden planks. Many also took away doors and window frames from Camp Abu Naji.
"The British forces left Abu Naji and the locals started looting everything," 1st Lieut. Rifaat Taha Yaseen of the Iraqi Army's 10th Division told Associated Press Television News. "They took everything from the buildings."

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — Several hundred peace activists sang, chanted, beat drums, waved signs and even engaged in some fiddle-playing Saturday to protest the war in Iraq during President Bush´s weekend visit.
Protesters carried signs attacking Bush with slogans including "No more blood for oil," "US out of Iraq now," "War poisons democracy" and "Liar."
A pair of fiddlers dressed in togas entertained the crowd by playing their instruments against the backdrop of a large image of the world in flames.
... Will Thomas, a Navy veteran from Auburn, N.H., carried a sign that said "honor the troops, mourn the dead, end the war."
He said he was demonstrating to follow the words of Martin Luther King Jr.: "Silence is complicity. I don´t want to be complicit. I want to speak out. I think Bush should be impeached." http://news.mainetoday.com/apwir...7C280-

Tony Blair's eldest son Euan has been discharged from hospital in Barbados after treatment for stomach pain.
The 22-year-old was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Bridgetown on Thursday.
He did not require surgery and his condition was not thought to be serious.
The health scare came just before the Blair family were due to finish their three-week summer break.
The Prime Minister arrived back in Britain on Friday morning and has spent the day working in Number 10.

Thinking about the topic of Atrios' post, it occurs to me that this is an example of a larger pattern. The press tells stories about Democrats but reports the stories that Republicans tell about themselves. By "stories" I don't even mean something untrue, I just mean narratives. The difference is who makes up the story. The Republicans make up the stories about themselves (Bush is a down-home friendly guy, McCain is a straight-shooter, Cheny is the responsible one, etc.). The press, often aided by the Republicans, make up the stories about Democrats (they're divided, they don't have a plan, Hillary's a bitch and no one likes her, Kerry's an elitist, the netroots are crazy, etc.) The Democrats need to stop worrying about countering the stories that the press tells. Instead, they need to start telling stories about themselves early and often.

Tracey Emin, the artist best known for her iconic Turner Prize-nominated unmade bed, has been chosen to represent Britain at next year's Venice Biennale.
Emin, only the second solo female artist ever to have been selected for the position in the history of the Biennale, will produce a new work for the British Pavilion for the show.
"I'm thrilled. It's a great honour and a fantastic challenge. I'm very much looking forward to it," she said.
The 52nd Venice Biennale, a major international contemporary art exhibition that takes place in Italy once every two years, opens in June 2007 until November. The British Council, which commissioned Emin for the exhibition, commended the "quality and strength of her work at the moment".

The population of Venice is draining away. Forty years after the most disastrous flood in its history, Venice today confronts an even more pernicious threat to its future: the steady departure of its residents.
Demographic experts cited by La Repubblica, the Roman daily newspaper, claimed that the last true Venetian would be turning off the lights sometime about 2030.
While Venice has never been more popular for tourists, with 50,000 visiting every day, the Venetians have been leaving ever since that black day on 4 November 1966, when filthy salt water from the lagoon inundated the city to more than one metre and stayed there for 24 hours.

I don't wear the earphones, but from the visuals I guess Jack Murtha is in some sort of big trouble and that Juan Williams doesn't like black leaders at all and the white newsreader agrees with him. I've never watched it at home. wonder why.

Juan is worried that people like Al Sharpton will keep the Talented Tenth like himself from gaining acceptance in white society. On a related note, he named his son Booker T. Washington Williams.

Tony Blair has pledged to launch a drive that will allay the public's fears about terrorism and immigration - in an attempt to show the Government has not lost sight of its priorities.
On the day he returned from his summer break in Barbados, the Prime Minister announced he would discuss with cabinet colleagues the new agenda he believes is uppermost in the voters' minds after this month's alleged terrorist plot and the publication of figures about immigration and population growth.
Mr Blair hopes his new focus will quell demands from inside the Labour Party for him to announce his planned departure date from Downing Street. He shows no sign of bowing to the pressure.

omg, on bush's radio address he sounds like the slow kid in the class mumbling his book report. It was about the federal failure during Katrina, so I can understand why he might want to rush though it.
Cookie Guggleman
Bush hates every part of being president except for getting to strut around wearing quasi-military jackets and discomfiting his staff and reporters with his farts while making up insulting nicknames for them. He likes being the Big Boss and in charge, but that's it. Everything else is work, and he's never done a day's honest work in his entire life. Of course he rushes through his radio addresses.

Nato pilots have been accused of killing 13 Afghan civilians, including nine children, during an attack close to the British base at Musa Kala in Helmand province.
Witnesses and relatives of the dead, who were interviewed by The Independent at the town of Lashkargar, claim that on 31 July a family of 13 was attempting to flee the fighting in a rented pickup truck with three other men when an aircraft appeared overhead.
"We stopped the car," said Abdul Habib, 40. "Then the plane dropped a bomb ahead of us and went away. After a while we started driving again, but the aircraft came back. I told my wives to stand up so that the pilot would see they were women, but at that moment it opened fire."

Very good.
I think another problem is that the Democrats try to tell the truth (kinda) about what is happening and they come off as negative, while the Republicans continue to spew lies about the war, terror and the economy. I guess, good news is easier to report, even if it's not true.

Women in the war-torn region of Darfur are suffering rising levels of sexual abuse in the refugee camps that have sprung up to house the hundreds of thousands of civilians escaping spiralling violence in the region.
In Darfur's largest displaced camp, Kalma, more than 200 women have been sexually assaulted in the past five weeks, according to figures released by the International Rescue Committee (IRC).
"This is a massive spike in figures," said the IRC's Kurt Tjossem. "We are used to hearing of two to four incidents of sexual assault per month in Kalma camp." The situation is so dire that about 300 desperate women recently convened a meeting pleading for help from the outside world, in particular from African Union troops, who are meant to protect refugees both from the roaming Janjaweed militias responsible for the current conflict and from violence inside the refugee camps.

U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris has stunned Democrats and some in her own Republican Party by saying that the separation of church and state is "a lie" and that God never intended the country to be a "nation of secular laws".
Harris first came to national attention as Florida's Secretary of State when she certified George W. Bush as the winner in the state over Al Gore in 2000. She then capitalized on the notoriety to become a member of the U.S. House of Representatives and is now in a primary battle for the GOP nomination to run for the Senate.
She made her remarks on religion and the Constitution in an interview this week with the Florida Baptist Witness, a weekly publication put out by the Florida Baptist State Convention.
Harris told the Witness that not electing Christians to office would allow Congress to "legislate sin," and that "everything I do" is a product of her religious faith.
She went on to call same-sex marriage one example of sin. Harris voted in favor of a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage. The measure failed to get enough votes in Congress to advance.
Harris told the publication that "we have to have the faithful in government" because it's " God's will".

Hundreds of Iraq's tribal chiefs have signed a pact of honour pledging to support the prime minister's national reconciliation plan to wipe out sectarian strife and terrorism tearing the country apart.
The pact, signed on Saturday, read: "Realising the gravity of the situation our country is undergoing, we pledge in front of God and the Iraqi people to be sincere and serious in preserving the unity of our country."
The chiefs also pledged to "work hard to stop the bloodletting and ... sectarian killings that have nothing to do with our values". A representative read out the agreement, which he described as a 'pact of honour' on live television.

What's scary about Katherine Harris - and I sent a link with that article earlier today - is that she is a representative for constituents of her congressional district, and she doesn't know the basis on which the constitution was founded.
That is what scares me. I wonder if she's that dumb? If she's using Jesus as rhetoric to appeal to what she thinks is her base, she's sorely mistaken, because really, ain't but a handful of percentage points on the dial that believe in evangelical God.
So either way, she's dumb. But then, we knew that already.

Not a big fan of "Jesus Loves Me", but it sure beats "Onward Christian Soldiers" for a theme.
I remember a story about Willie Nelson, being told that someone at his concert was very near death and it was his dying wish to see Willie. Willie led the whole audience in singing "Jesus Loves Me " to him and the guy died shortly after. (I should check that out on Snopes cause it sounds too sweet to be true.)

BAGRAM, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Foreign and local troops must plug the Afghan-Pakistan border to halt Taliban infiltration, America's commander for the Middle East said on Saturday, but added that Islamabad was not helping the rebels.
Fighting in Afghanistan is at its bloodiest since a U.S.-led coalition drove the hardline Islamist Taliban from power in 2001 and the United States, Afghanistan and other governments say many of the guerrillas use Pakistan as a safe haven.
Kabul has made veiled charges Islamabad still supports its former protege and the Afghan intelligence chief said last week Pakistan had not given up "its interference and aggression".

A geography teacher who was reprimanded and placed on paid administrative leave for refusing to remove Chinese, Mexican and United Nations flags from his Carmody Middle School classroom has decided to part ways with the school.
The overwhelming local and national attention brought to the school in Jefferson County has polarized parents, said Eric Hamlin, a seventh-grade teacher who was to return to his classroom today.
"I have already told them that I won't go back to Carmody because I want Carmody to move on," Hamlin said. "The school community feels a little bit torn apart ... There are some parents that strongly support the stance that I took.
"But there are certainly a portion that are opposed to that," Hamlin said. "That could stir things up."

I'm looking now, and need one that gets good gas mileage and has decent ground clearance. Since I've been looking I've found that all the car makers with a few exceptions have lowered the suspension on most models in the last couple of years. If it wasn't for the ground clearance question, I'd just buy a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla.

There are limits to discourse. I have crossed these several times. If you say something that you believe, others will take offense and try to set you right. Not sure why. Just the way it is around here.
But I always enjoy your comments - even if I disagree totally. Nearly any reasoned thoughts are good thoughts.

I've been looking at the Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix (both made at the Fremont Cal NUMI plant)as an inexpensive answer.
About a year ago, out killing some time one afternoon, I test drove a Kia SR-5 5-door (same basic body type as a Matrix). It was an impressively peppy little vehicle. Good gas mileage and not very expensive -- they wanted to sell me the one I drove for 15 grand. Good warranty, too. Alas, I did not have 15 grand at the time.

I think Pluto should be grandfathered in. No fair changing the rules in the middle of the game.
Ah, but there is precedent for what they did to poor little Pluto...
1 Ceres (IPA /ˈsiːriz/, Latin: Cerēs) is a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt. Its name is derived from the Roman goddess Ceres - the goddess of growing plants and of motherly love. It was discovered on January 1, 1801, by Giuseppe Piazzi. With a diameter of about 950 km, Ceres is by far the largest and most massive body in the asteroid belt: it contains approximately a third of the belt's total mass.
The classification of Ceres has changed more than once. At the time of its discovery it was considered a planet, but upon the realization that it represented the first of a class of many similar bodies, it was reclassified as an asteroid for over 150 years. As the first such body to be discovered, its name was prefixed by the number 1, under the modern system of asteroid numbering. After the discovery of the trans-Neptunian object 2003 UB313, a proposition was made by the International Astronomical Union to reinstate Ceres to the status of planet along with Pluto's moon, Charon, and 2003 UB313.[6][7] This draft definition did not successfully pass, and in its place an alternate proposal came into effect as of August 24, 2006, labelling Ceres a 'dwarf planet'. The IAU has not made any pronouncement on whether Ceres should continue to be formally considered an asteroid, although the body is still widely referred to by that term.

When I lived in CAL I used to compare the cost of maintenance, of the Ford and the Mitsubishi (still have the mits, the ford is long gone) With less miles being driven the Ford cost several times as much yearly to keep it running well. BTW Ford is off the buying list, for this next purchase, which will be one or two vehicles, depending on what we find in the next few weeks.

The main reason they killed the electric car, besides the threat to oil prices, was the revolution in maintainance. Dealerships make the bulk of their money in repairs, tune-ups and replacement of parts, and the electric takes the car from a galaxy of various heirlooms from the age of invention down to a very few. You simply cannot make nearly as much maintaining electrics as gasoline-powered cars.

Wndy's is only good for the baked potato. KFC kicks ass when it comes to both price and quality of food, especially side dishes. Arguably chicken is slightly better than processed ground beef product because as least you're dealing with actual chicken and not a reconstructed facsimile. Also Arby's has a nice deal going where you get five different things for six dollars. Carl's Jr/Hardees and Rally's/Checkers are both decent burger joints, but the best for taste is the California-only In-n-Out Burger "Double Double."

A couple of weeks ago I was ordering at KFC through their drive thru and had my brain freeze on me: I ordered a "Large Breast" (which I corrected). When I got around to the pick up window the whole crew was rolling on the floor laughing. - Gomez

also, in the local daily, The Cincinnati Enquirer, there was no national or international news on the first page or any page nearby. Is this by plan? Keep them dumb? Or don't offend anyone with bad news? of course, as far as I know (been here since Thursday night) there is no bad news! everything is beautiful in its own way: dust be diamonds, water be wine, happy happy happy all the time time time.

I might not have the best coffee in the world, but it is far better than McDonalds.

My Cuisinart "instant-read" food thermometer seemed pricey at the time, but it's lasted forever and is real helpful for roasts.

i paid $20 for a chicken sandwich at wendy's the other day. and it was my own damn fault.
i ordered it with a salad and dr pepper. they took my money and handed me the drink (s.o.p.), but i noticed the dr pepper was clear. so i made the mistake of pointing that out before i got my change.
never interrupt the normal flow of things, or something gets missed.

Mebbe it's just me, but E coli and bse are the two biggest deterrents to my consumption of ground beef products, anymore...
i rarely indulge in burgers these days...
i'll get some other kind of sandwich, thanks...
the fries are the same with blt as with a burger...

Aside from the health reasons, I'm batting about .200 when it comes to getting one that isn't dry as a desert.
Never had a bad burger from Wendy's. Always piping hot and moist. But I haven't eaten one in about two years.

I have a Bunn Coffee maker. The coffee I make at my office is way better than any I could buy. And I use Maxwell House.

The Wendy's I go to is right across from my office. It could be just this one is bad. I remember them being better.

K, thanks. That's the kind of info I'm looking for. I'm biased against Mazdas (because of the Ford connection - bleah) in favor of Hondas
Stick with Hondas (or Acuras).
Umm, just read the Consumer Reports car report for 2005. Mazda 3 beat out the Civic and the Corolla for best value in its class. There are no dependability problems.
If you get a Civic, sure it will last for ten years. But for the money, I'd prefer a car that will last for ten years AND will give me acceleration when I ask for it. Mazda 3 gives me that. Don't rely just on what I'm saying - read up on what car magazines and Consumer Reports have to say about the car. It is definitely top of the heap in its price range.

For the same money as a new Civic, a used BMW is much more fun, and much more car.

Wendy's were moist because they stored patties in water.

When are they going to start pointing out that like his racist counterparts, Laffee is an intolerant, homophobic bigot?
