GravatarBobo's World:

ATHENS, Ala. - A woman and two roommates are accused of holding her brother at gunpoint as she prayed for his repentance, even firing a shot into the ceiling to keep his attention.
Randy Doss, 46, of Athens said he fled the house when his captors got distracted and later went to police, who were skeptical at first because his story was so bizarre. But police said it checked out, including the bullet hole in the ceiling.
"We found where they patched the hole with caulk," said Sgt. Trevor Harris.
Police said the sister, Tammie Lee Doss, 43, Donna Leigh Bianca, 37, and Ronald David Richie, 45, who live at the Athens house, were charged with unlawful imprisonment, a misdemeanor. The two women were also charged with menacing, a misdemeanor. All were released on bond.
Harris said Randy Doss went to the house about 7 p.m. on Labor Day and at some point got in an argument with the two women about religion. When they prayed for him, he laughed.
"They both got upset and pointed pistols at him," Harris said. "They wouldn't let him leave. Bianca fired one round in the ceiling in the hallway a few feet from the victim's head."

Pope Benedict XVI has spoken emotionally of his attachment to his southern German homeland of Bavaria as he arrived there for a six-day visit.

"My heart beats Bavarian," he said before landing in Munich, where he was met by Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The Pope greeted cheering crowds in the city's main square, the Marienplatz.

On Sunday he will hold an open-air mass for an expected 250,000 people. He will also visit his birthplace, Marktl-am-Inn, and meet his brother.

GravatarOT: Saudi to ban sale of cats and dogs

Municipal authorities in the Saudi Arabian cities of Mecca and Jeddah have banned the sale of cats and dogs as un-Islamic.

Saudi's religious police, the Muttawa, have been instructed to prevent the sale of cats and dogs in order to prevent the spread of Western ideas into the highly Islamic country, Saudi media reported on Friday.



"Some youths have been buying them and parading them in public," said a memo sent from the Municipal Affairs Ministry to Jeddah's city government to explain the ban.

The Muttawa are normally tasked with forcing women to cover themselves, ensuring that men attend mosque prayers and enforcing other Islamic obligations.


what the fuck?


GravatarPhilotheos - exactly right.


Gravatarintellectual sloppiness

Read Goldberg's first sentence. Then the quotations. Then the first sentence again.


GravatarBanning the sale of dogs may surprise few in the desert kingdom, since conservative Muslims despise dogs as ritually unclean.

But the cat ban has baffled many. Islamic traditions say that Muhammad, Islam's founder, loved cats - even in one instance letting a cat drink from his ablutions water before he washed himself for prayers.

Tens of thousands of Shia Muslim pilgrims have taken part in a religious festival in the Iraqi city of Karbala amid tight security.

Thousands of police and soldiers were deployed to guard sites and deter possible attackers. No major security incident was reported.

Up to three million pilgrims had been expected during events marking the birth of the Ninth Century Imam Mahdi.

Such festivals have been targeted by Sunni insurgents in the past.

While pilgrims have begun to leave Karbala, a major police presence will remain in place until noon on Sunday to make sure that people are able to leave the city safely.

GravatarOT: Bolivia sees anti-reform protests

Opposition leaders in Bolivia's wealthier eastern regions say a one-day strike in protest at plans to re-write the constitution was a huge success.

But the government said the stoppage was a political failure, because support was limited to the east.

The action was widely seen as the biggest challenge yet to the authority of President Evo Morales.

The strikers are objecting to plans to allow a constituent assembly to amend the charter by simple majority vote.

A power struggle between Bolivia's wealthier, white elite - which opposes the changes - and its indigenous majority is at the heart of the row.

· Alliance's top commander disappointed by response
· Germany and France under pressure at meeting


A full-scale row threatened to erupt in Nato last night with alliance commanders demanding more soldiers and aircraft to defeat the Taliban and their supporters.

In what Britain and the US regard as an unprecedented test for the alliance, Germany and France came under intense pressure to provide more forces as Nato defence chiefs met behind closed doors in Warsaw to discuss the escalating violence in southern Afghanistan.

As Nato members pointed the finger at each other, Kabul's deadliest suicide bombing in years ripped through a US military convoy yesterday, killing 14 Afghans and two soldiers - days before the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

GravatarOT: Brown offers challenge to critics

Gordon Brown has challenged his political opponents by declaring he would welcome a Labour leadership contest after Tony Blair stands down.

The chancellor also told the News of the World newspaper it was "absolute nonsense" to suggest he was behind calls for Mr Blair to quit.

The prime minister's likely successor had earlier been criticised by former Home Secretary Charles Clarke.

Mr Blair said Labour risks electoral defeat if in-fighting continues.

BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who has sought to bolster ties with the United States since she took office, rebuked Washington on Saturday for sanctioning secret CIA prisons used to interrogate terror suspects.

"The use of such prisons is not compatible with my understanding of the rule of law," Merkel said in Berlin.

I was talking about it to my coven today; some of the women are not terribly political. But when I said (1) all the liberal bloggers are upset about it and (2) ABC tries to blame Clinton and (3) the people involved have fundie ties, all the women said they wouldn't watch it and would send ABC an email. People are pretty fed up with fundies and with blaming the Clenis and they generally trust liberal bloggers, even if they don't regularly read blogs.

GravatarThousands demonstrate in Tel Aviv

More than 20,000 Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv late on Saturday, demanding that the government back an independent inquiry into the Lebanon war and urging Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, to resign.

The crowd - numbered at 25,000 by the police and described as tens of thousands by organisers - held Israeli flags and banners demanding a state commission headed by a judge and urging Olmert, Amir Peretz, the defence minister, and Dan Halutz, the chief of staff, to resign.

The demonstration was organised by the Movement for Quality Government and reservists who have criticised the government for its handling of the war.

Truthfully, either works well.

I've got copper colored stuff and red stuff and the whole house is sort of basically made out of the native colors of Arizona, so red, copper, violet, turquoise - it's all good.

He foolishly ignored our advice to have the wood sealed and to put a metal cap over the top of the gate, so as to minimize moisture absorption and the twisting and warping that accompanies it....so last week, we got back the warped gate for repair, sealing, and addition of a copper cap to the top.

Only problem is, that copper cap is going to be a blaring beacon to every crackhead in the neighborhood (and there are lots of them in this neighborhood)...I predict the copper will remain on the gate for a couple of weeks, max.

GravatarHooray for Madrid!

Excessively skinny fashion models will be barred from a major Madrid fashion show later this month for fear they could send the wrong message to young Spanish girls, local media reported.

Madrid's regional government, which is co-financing the Pasarela Cibeles, has vetoed around a third of the models who took part in last year's show because they weigh too little.

The authorities collaborated with a Spanish health organisation to come up with a minumum body mass -- a height-weight ratio -- of 18 for the models.

...

Organisers said they wanted to "help ensure public opinion does not associate fashion, and fashion shows in particular, with an increase in anorexia, a disease which, along with bulimia, is considered ... as a mental and behavioural problem".


GravatarHecate - I think they sell it by the pound.

I know that copper wiring is stripped from empty houses for that reason.


GravatarHecate, they sell it for the cash. Scrap metal is expensive these days. Construction sites get raided all the time for anything metal. Copper wiring, pipes, whatever.


GravatarI realize that I am revealing my ignorance, but what do they do with copper?

Turn it in for scrap. There was a HUGE fire in NYC recently, started by a homeless person ripping electrical wiring out of a building, to get the copper.


Gravatarand I'm with Hecate - me like big frames.

I know that this "dates" me, but I still use my sunglasses as a hair accessory, a la Jackie. I have pics from my son's wedding of me with my sunglasses as a headband. The big ones work better for that.


GravatarHecate - they sell it for scrap. Copper prices have been rising so fast lately that we have a hard time estimating jobs when there's copper plumbing or gutters or the like involved. But even before the price started going up, crackheads were stripping the plumbing and electrical wiriing out of vacant houses. (And if you realize how little copper there is in electrical wiring, you start to get an idea of the level of desperation here...recently a crackhead at least made a downpayment on the farm when he tried to strip wiring from our service box at work...I guess he stopped because the warning shock was strong enough to really hurt, though not kill...)

My amateur theory about it is that the onset is caused by social factors, usually excessive dieting and/or exercise. But once you reach a certain point there are changes in the body chemistry and then it's impossible for the sufferer to see the real thinness or other aspects of it as an illness.

add some calcium-magnesium to your diet.


GravatarWell, Hecate, you could always switch your beverage of choice to a vodka tonic, I suppose.


Gravatar"No, he isn't. I quote his actual speech. You quote something you said, not what Limbaugh said."

I understood what you were doing. But, in fact, you took his quote then (as you said) "parsed" it. That's what I did with YOUR statement.

"George Bush was shown a report about bin Laden determined to strike within the U.S., and he ignored it. Ashcroft refused to take terrorism seriously. And this was in 2001. But nobody has done this since 2001."

I understand how you want to focus on this like a laser beam. And in no way am I apologizing for failures in the Bush administration to prevent 9/11. But treating OBL as a problem that popped up after Jan. 20, 2001 is just dishonest.

"To argue that saying the American troops in Iraq are failing in controlling a civil war and that an exit strategy should be created is one thing. To say that this is a message to terrorists that we view them episodically is another thing. It seems that you think they are the same thing."

I'm trying to follow why you think these are different things. I'm talking about the perception of terrorists when they can see on the news protestors, not talking calmly and logically as you are, but screaming like Cindy Sheehan that the President is a terrorist. I'm not talking strategy here, although we could do that, as well. I'm talking about the message that such fevered rhetoric sends to our enemies.

"No. I'm saying that the effective strategy in fighting terrorism is to see terrorism as a crime and to fight it with international and national police forces."

Wasn't this Clinton's strategy? He treated it as a criminal action, which is part of the reason he was unwilling to take out OBL when given the opportunity.

"What Bush did by deciding that it's a war, rather than crime, that we are fighting is essentially a glorification of terrorists among the disgruntled Muslims. He raised bin Laden to the level of a leader, for example. He made terrorists famous and he opened up all the mythmaking about terrorists."

When we were attacked by fanatics on 9/11, that was an act of war. I will not disagree that going to fight them "over there" created some myths about OBL specifically and terrorists in general. But to say we should continue treating it as a criminal action after all the attacks in the 1990s would be to follow a failed policy.

"Let me put it this way. If there had been no talking at all, how many wars and genocides and so on do you think we might have had? And do you suggest that we just stop talking about any old conflict and instead nuke everybody?"

I won't jump to this bait but I will ask you this: Which conflict of the last, say, 25 years has diplomacy stopped? Or has diplomacy become another tactic used to delay confrontation to strengthen one's ability to fight?

"Because they think we are evil. And Rush says that evil always wins in negotiations. Duh."

But if Allah is on their side, then they should win, shouldn't they?

"And what does 'victory' mean here?"

I think victory means the defeat of terrorists in the Middle East and the establishment of another democracy in the region.

"Or are we talking about 'victory' over bin Laden, you know, the guy who is comfortably resting in Pakistan, by most reports. The one we just can't seem to catch."

Judging from recent speeches, I think capturing and/or killing OBL would be a significant factor in victory, but I doubt most people would consider that to be the total definition.

And, btw, I would love for us to strike at the Saudis for their spread of wahabbism. But I have no faith that Democrats would be any more willing to do this than Republicans, which is why I don't even bother with this argument. There just isn't enough difference between the 2 sides in their approach to the problem. If you think there's an electable person who would be willing to do it, I would vote for them and probably a lot of other people, too. But there's also the practical part that says it would be exceedingly difficult for America to function without Saudi oil, and we know that most Americans are unwilling to sacrifice to the extent it would be necessary to do so.

"Or are we talking about victory in Afghanistan which we just have essentially deserted?"

I think most conservatives think that Afghanistan is an old issue and that things there are fine now. They don't realize that Afghanistan is still a mess and will be for a long time to come until somebody (maybe us, maybe someone else) is willing to spend the time, energy and cash to change it.

So, I just have to ask this question: What would YOU define as victory?

"Rush doesn't say that it's ok to criticize the government as long as you're polite. He says that criticizing the government is unpatriotic. The rest is your interpretation, not his. I've listened to Rush and I know what he tells us. In some ways, he believes that the war is against people like me."

I listen to Rush sometimes, too, and don't always agree with his interpretation of things. This could be one of those. I don't really think it's a "no criticism of the government" thing. I think he just completely disagrees with the left's criticism. Not sure if that's different, though.

"About your argument that leftists refuse to call Islamic terrorists the enemy. I'm confused. Would a change in language help here?"

I know you're being funny, but, yes, I think it would!

"But I'd think such refusal, if it exists, is because the right has expanded the idea of "enemy" to cover all Muslims."

I think there are people (Ann Coulter springs to mind) who think Islam itself is the problem. But I also think there are a lot of people who think this is as much a fight for the soul of Islam as it is about America or foreign policy or anything else. If those who do not believe in the radicalized version of Islam don't do a better job of distancing themselves from the fanatics, then it will become a war against religion. I don't take pleasure in saying that, btw, but that's just how I see it.

"Recently I have posted on several conservatives who openly call us the enemy. People like me. I'm the enemy of this country! And some of these people are also threatening violence."

I know there are sites like that and I think that is abhorent. On the other hand, you've seen some of the name-calling I've gotten in the last 3 days expressing myself. And, honestly, I've seen a lot of calls for violence on places like Daily KOS and the Huffington Post, as well. I guess what I'm saying is there is lots of calls for violence on both sides. I just hope there's more maturity displayed by most people, like most of what I've seen here, for example.

"I have not called George a fascist. Never even met him. But Rush is not talking about that. He argues that criticism of the administration is unpatriotic. That is the way to a dictatorship, in my view."

I'm not saying you did this but there are plenty of lefties who say things like this a LOT, particularly in the blogosphere.

"Now, Rush calls me a feminazi. He called the underage daughter of a president in power a dog. Is this patriotic? Or is it ok if we are in peacetime? Doesn't this give an incentive for Bush to stay at war so that he can't be called names at home?"

Feminazi is a term Rush doesn't even use anymore because it has been so blown out of proportion. If you do listen to his show, you know what his definition of a feminazi is. And please. I could go on ad nauseam about the comments about the Bush twins. Do we really need to go there? The criticism of Chelsea stopped virtually immediately once people complained, yet the comments about the Bush girls goes on and on. And honestly, do you think anyone would decide to continue a war that is pretty unpopular just so he won't be "called names"? It hasn't worked, btw, if that was his intention, as the Hitler McChimpHalliburton-type comments I see regularly show.

"It's really a lot more like religious fundamentalism gone totally haywire, but that is something the conservatives in this country don't want to think about, given their fundamentalist base which wants many of the same things as the terrorists do, only within a Christian worldframe."

I'd love to see some citations to places where fundamentalist Christians want to chop off hands and put women in burqas.

"And has the administration told us to do these things? I've never heard anything about it. All I remember is being asked to go shopping right after 9/11. And then suddenly there were all those stickers costing three dollars or so. And indeed made in China."

No offense, but when President Bush said for people to "go shopping" after 9/11 it was to show our enemies that we refused to be cowed by their barbaric acts. I don't need the president to tell me to do volunteer works for the troops or their families.

"But I don't have the money to pay for the medical costs of the disabled veterans. Not all on my own."

Then donate what you can.

"I wonder how many close relatives Sharon has serving? I have 2 nephews, and remember several other folks here have mentioned similar things."

I have one relative serving in this war. I am too old for it, as are my siblings. My children, nieces, and nephews are not the right age, either. I am the daughter of a 21-war, 3-war veteran. That enough?

I find this insinuation (beloved by lefties) to be despicable. Frankly, after some of the comments on this blog, I'm beginning to realize that lefties aren't nearly as beholden to the First Amendment as I had thought.

"We support our troops. The administartion does not seem to actually do so."

Yes, it does. That equipment and strategy has changed over the duration of this war is not tantamount to not supporting the troops.

"Right. The conservatives care for and support our troops. Tel

Draco, as I understand it, hospitals spread the cost of indigent care out to those of us who have incurred medical expenses but no insurance. I am still paying on $13K for an appendectomy.

Hecate! Two things - eat a banana and increase your load bearing exercise. The long muscles in your legs are affected very seriously by a deficit - fast twitch/slow twitch muscle fibres are affected. Raking is good for your arms and chest - not so much your legs. Take a walk or so around the block.

GravatarDammit watertiger! I need to up my potassium so I can type faster.


Gravatarbilly b: the lyte levels indeed have to be well regulated, but they almost always are by well-functioning kidneys given enough free water and minerals to work with. Most folks don't have to worry about taking, say, salt or potassium supplements beyond a good diet. You get dehydrated, do a lot of vomiting, you take diuretics, you can lose lots of potassium, and need it replaced, but most folks do fine...


GravatarWhat's our nuclear option, here?

Something about herbal remedies for atomic ache I think.


GravatarJennifer,

I used to suffer from RLS - have you had your crit checked? As it turns out, I was anemic, and once I fixed that, the restless legs went away.

In general, people - make sure you get enough electrolytes and stay hydrated (and that does NOT mean coffee, tea, pop, or beer! Those things will dehydrate you!).

Dehydation can cause such scary things as heart palpitations. I have had the embarrassing personal experience here to know this first hand. So learn from my experience.


GravatarThose are some gorgeous girls you've got, whiskeyina.

GravatarPeri- and menopausal women tend to complain of leg and foot cramps more than the rest of the population.

Actually, I'd believe that. For the 5 years that I was on Tamoxifen, I had leg and foot cramps all the time. Every woman I knew on Tamoxifen complained of the same thing, although doctors will tell you that cramps are not a known side effect of Tamoxifen. But since I went off of it, I almost never get them, except if I'm tired out, but then they are a doozey.

GravatarThanks Karin.


GravatarDon't know why I get them either. I've been a runner/walker all my life, always physically active. Vitamin taker. Beats me. Life's mysteries.

Goes with the territory, kid. If you exercise more you metabolize the electrolytes that keep the muscles working. Tetany is normal for folks that exercise.

That's why one needs to stretch before and after exertion. And have a diet that replenishes the electrolyes. And, the most underrated point of all- drink copious quantities of water.


GravatarProfWombat--I eat nutritious breakfast cereal every day and take vitamins and supplements. But when I awakened at the hospital and they took blood from me, the first thing they said was I had a potassium deficiency. They gave me some foul dense potion in a little paper cup--probably $500

It's foul alright.

GravatarBut when I awakened at the hospital and they took blood from me, the first thing they said was I had a potassium deficiency

That's what the docs, years ago, told me caused my heart palpitations. Potassium deficiency. That was at the height of my running years. I was doing 5 miles a day and 6 to 8 miles on the weekends. And then I started getting these palpitations. Had the heart stressed tested and passed with flying colors. Never had the problem again.

I'm watching the Ohio State/Texas football game on ABC right now, and as far as I can tell, they have not run a single promo for the hatchet job. Nothing. And this is one of the bigger games to be televised on the schedule this year so there are a lot of eyes watching this game. For them to not promo the heck out of it leads me to believe that it's going to be pulled.
