Heard one on the doggie walk. Eddy was much interested, as he was for his first frog. Some Suburban deer added to the fun. Shot Gun shots down by the river were a bit distracting, tho.
I really like that there is a safe place to go and shoot so close. It's a total flood zone and there is nothing on the other side. But pick up your shells and beer cans, it could be a nice picinic/fishing place, but it is just trashed by these kids with shot guns.

karen what's the average age of the military personnel serving in Iraq and what's the death rate for that age group in this country?
Asshat.

No, they are not, unless you assume that the military now in Iraq would otherwise go and live in the most dangerous area of Philadelphia and face all the same risks there as the young black men the article uses as a comparison basis.
The comparison to general mortality rates is idiotic, because that includes all the elderly people in this country.

Echidne of the snakes
STOP making sense!
.
The correct comparison basis would take the mortality rates of men and women with the same age groups and for all races, and would then weigh those rates to get an average which reflects the gender, race and age composition of the military serving in Iraq. It is this average that should be compared to the Iraq rates. Or perhaps the mortality rates for military with all the same characteristics but not in Irawq.

Seems like this is going to be a problem for the LGFers and Freepers. They'll now go on about how being in Iraq is less dangerous than being in the US citing this article. But on the other hand we're to believe that US soldiers are bravely serving in a combat zone putting their lives on the line when in fact theyr're LESS likely to get killed over there.
It seems to me you can't have it both ways.

HOW LIKELY ARE YOU TO DIE WHILE SERVING IN IRAQ? About half as likely as Americans back home, reports the Washington Post.
I will admit, though, that Americans in America have a very low chance of dying in Iraq, what with them not being in Iraq and all.
Katie tries to clear things up:
Harris' campaign released a statement Saturday saying she had been "speaking to a Christian audience, addressing a common misperception that people of faith should not be actively involved in government."
The comments reflected "her deep grounding in Judeo-Christian values," the statement said, adding that Harris had previously supported pro-Israel legislation and legislation recognizing the Holocaust.
Harris' opponents in the GOP primary also gave interviews to the Florida Baptist Witness but made more general statements on their faith.
Harris, 49, faced widespread criticism for her role overseeing the 2000 presidential recount as Florida's secretary of state.
State GOP leaders _ including Gov. Jeb Bush _ don't think she can win against Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson in November. Fundraising has lagged, frustrated campaign workers have defected in droves and the issues have been overshadowed by news of her dealings with a corrupt defense contractor who gave her $32,000 in illegal campaign contributions.
Harris, 49,
She's only 49?
Harris' campaign released a statement Saturday saying she had been "speaking to a Christian audience,
and naturally had to pander to them."
Karen forgot to quote this part of the article:
The comparison is imperfect, of course, because a much higher fraction of the American population is elderly and subject to higher death rates from degenerative diseases. The death rate for U.S. men ages 18 to 39 in 2003 was 1.53 per 1,000 -- 39 percent of that of troops in Iraq. But one can also find something equivalent to combat conditions on home soil. The death rate for African American men ages 20 to 34 in Philadelphia was 4.37 per 1,000 in 2002, 11 percent higher than among troops in Iraq. Slightly more than half the Philadelphia deaths were homicides.
Harris, 49, faced widespread criticism for her role overseeing the 2000 presidential recount as Florida's secretary of state.
But apparently, bush owes her nothing, right?
The death rate for African American men ages 20 to 34 in Philadelphia was 4.37 per 1,000 in 2002, 11 percent higher than among troops in Iraq.
That's ugly.
All who wish to sign up to be a young African-American male in Philadelphia right now, instead of going to Iraq, feel free. It is quite dangerous to be the former at the moment, though I trust not a popular option either.
Thing is, once it's in print the first time, that's what people think is true. No one sees the retraction, two week later, on the second page.
mer
or by some snake lady statistician on a popular, but basically obscure blog.
then again you don't exactly need to know statistics to see how flawed, and yet obvious the intent of that article was.
why just yesterday donald rumsfeld was saying...
addressing a common misperception that people of faith should not be actively involved in government."
What a strawman. Bush boasts about his faith all the time. Clinton was a Baptist. Carter taught Sunday school. I have NEVER heard ANYONE say that people of faith should not be actively involved in government. EVER.
Mankind is not well served by those who make war look easy or costless.
I will admit, though, that Americans in America have a very low chance of dying in Iraq, what with them not being in Iraq and all.

Hey, Hecate, I went to the Mich. State Fair Thurs. and had my annual psychic reading. Which was also the world's most boring psychic reading. I suspect it has something to do with having the world's most boring life. It kinda went, things were crappy, but they're better now, and look to be about the same in the future. I mean, it works, but merits a few rows of Dave's Zzzzzz's.
My niece and I were excited that the handwriting analysis computer was back. I have some printouts going back to the mid-1980s. My favorite line was "Your surroundings reflect your personality." Since my place is done in beat-up castoffs and junk, I don't think I can consider that flattering.

Unlike Iraq, Iran has plenty of ways to respond. Bring on the $10.00 gas... All the more reason we've got to get control of Congress back this fall.

From Newsday:
"Even as the city and federal government were reassuring New Yorkers that the air at Ground Zero was safe in the weeks after Sept. 11, some officials were sounding the alarm within their agencies about air quality at the site.
A series of court documents and internal memos reveals, among other things, a City Hall divided over when to reopen downtown to workers and shoppers, and a failure to enforce regulations aimed at assuring that workers were protected in the sooty, dust-filled air.
Five years later, the cost of those decisions may be now coming due in mysterious illnesses, shortened careers, even lost lives -- and a class action lawsuit by 7,000 people."

Giuliani's inspiring post-9/11 leadership, from Newsday:
"On Oct. 6, 2001, for example, while the city and the Environmental Protection Agency were repeatedly reassuring New Yorkers that the air at Ground Zero was safe, a top city health department official wrote a three-page memo raising "critical environmental issues" related to the disaster.
Associate Commissioner Kelly McKinney wrote that there were deep disagreements between the Office of Emergency Management and the Department of Environmental Protection over whether the air was safe enough to allow people back into the zone.
"The mayor's office is under pressure from building owners and business owners in the red zone to open more of the city to occupancy," McKinney wrote. "According to OEM, some city blocks north and south of Ground Zero are suitable for reoccupancy. DEP believes the air quality is not yet suitable for reoccupancy. I was told the mayor's office was directing OEM to open the target areas next week." McKinney, now with OEM, did not respond to a written request for comment."

Former US president slaps down 'subservient' Blair
ONDON (AFP) - Former US president Jimmy Carter lashed out at British Prime Minister
Tony Blair for being "so compliant and subservient" to the Bush administration in Washington.
ADVERTISEMENT
"I have been surprised and extremely disappointed with Tony Blair's behaviour," Carter told the Sunday Telegraph newspaper as he promoted his new book "Faith and Freedom."
"I think that, more than any other person in the world, the prime minister could have had a moderating influence on Washington, and he has not," said the 81-year-old former head of state.
... "We now have a situation where America is so unpopular overseas that, even in countries like Egypt and Jordan, our approval ratings are less than five percent," said Carter, who was in the White House from 1977 to 1981.
"It's a shameful and pitiful state of affairs, and I hold your British prime minister to be substantially responsible for being so compliant and subservient."

Yes, please. My mom only bakes from scratch anyway. My e-mail is vtybg@netzero.com.
Echidne,
Make any brownie mix recipe. When you first take them out of the oven, place peppermint patties on top. Once they get warm and a bit melty, swirl through with a butter knife for a marbled effect. Let cool and eat. Any brownie mix will taste divine. Works w/ peanut butter cups, too.
Hecate, I will keep that in mind.
Our presence in Iraq is like a rocky marriage. We got rid of an abusive husband, Saddam. Now the children, Iraqis, are hanging out with the wrong crowd.
Abstinence!!! Oh, god, don't anyone mention condoms!! Abstinence!!!
Hail Mary, full of braces, skinned up knees and softer lips, we... wait... damn!
Lord, please bring the 25,000,000 (give or take a few thousand - well, mostly take) to your Holy word. And if they refuse, please let them die in a murderous ball of Hellfire, their eery cries a reminder of our dreadful, yet merciful might.
Also, bless President Bush.
PS - Send oil.
Where did you get billions? Iraq doesn't have billions.
Echidne of the snakes
Those clamoring for war with Iran ought to look at this chart.
Note, also, the story that prior to the Iraq invasion, Bush was unaware of information like this.

I have a fantastic cookie recipe for a very basic cookie which, however, melts in your mouth in the most wonderful way. I'm going to ask my mom if I can share it. It's her invention.
That way, they can talk to the people who own us! Thanks a lot, Sandra Day.

But they own us the way the bank owns my house: they don't want my house, they want my mortgage payments, right?
So what will it look like when we welcome our chinese overlords?
The Redskins really look bad
whiskeyina,
It is fabulous that your girls watched the videos in foreign language.
According to my dear friend, whose wife is Asian and came over in the aftermath of the VietNam War, they will easily pick up English or any other language at the age of 5. Teach 'em about diversity. It eliminates all future social faux pas. ( But for such a larger reason.

As if talking ever solved anything. Or at least solved anything to the point that a bunch of determined militarist trolls couldn't unravel. Right, President Carter and ghosts of Begin and Sadat?
It's not going to fun when our Chinese overlords arrive. We will all do tai chi in the park at 5 am for one thing.

Please, kill me now.
Actually, given their overwhelmingly male population, they're likely to want wives more than anything else.

Given the propensity for death sentences from the CCP, that death wish may be easily arranged.
And there is no need for wives as they will just distract from the long work weeks.
You do enjoy a 6 or 7 day work week, don't you?
Dear Joe takes his last name quite literally which is why I love him. I shall cast hundreds of votes for him from now 'til November 7th. My manservant, TinyDoubles, will be printing out a pad of ballots for me shortly. They are monogrammed.
Brownies must have dark or semi-sweet, and expresso
Yes, but what wine do you serve?
Evening, 'bats!
the best brownines come from a ghirardelli box mix, if you ask me...I've tried and tried and tried, and cannot ever top them with homemade.
I've never actually been a huge brownie fan. Usually they're too dry. But if someone can make nice moist ones, I'm all over it.
Hmm...that didn't come out right.

Hi, buddy!
When the elections are over we need to turn our attention to raising money to bribe the wicked witch of Florida to turn states evidence against the Bushes...to tell the world how they stole the election. Unfortunately no one will now believe her.

I don't have a brownie recipe, but I have a scratch chocolate cake:
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1-1/2 sticks of oleo
2 eggs
2 teas. baking soda
2 teas. flavoring
1-1/2 cups water
Mix dry ingredients. Melt oleo and boil water. Add them, the eggs and flavoring. Beat together until mixed really well. Bake at 350 degress till done (toothpick test works).
What's nice is that it's easy to halve if you don't want too much. Plus you can choose the flavorings to be seasonal - peppermint for Xmas and so on.
If you use it, just think nice thoughts of my brother, who brought it into the family from his first college frat's den mother. He's been good for 6 six years now, but he wasn't a bad guy for an oldest brother and an engineering nerd.

Sorry. Oleo is margarine (originally oleomargarine). But that's what mom and my aunts called it, so that's what I still use.
I subscribe to the unitary troll theory.
I someone posts something flagrantly idiotic, or namesteals, or complains that we aren't debating him while he hurls personal insults at us, or is quite obviously pretending to be something he is not (a libertarian, an airplane mechanic, a collector of out of print rare books, a woman, etc. etc.), or any combination of the above, one can safely assume that it is jack.
Even if the troll in question isn't jack, well, a troll's a troll. For all intents and purposes, they might as well be jack.

We don't have that here in my Sumatran hideaway. Now I know what you are all thinking, some sort of scam.

Well heck, what color is milk? that's all butter is, a system for preserving surplus milk for future use. The big snob-fight between advocates of salted vs. unsalted butter dates to the days when it was packed in kegs of salt to preserve it, therefore salted butter meant that it was old rather than fresh. But even fresh butter was recommended to have a bit of salt added to it for flavoring.
Best pie crusts in the world use butter. Although there are those who hold out for lard...
