President Bush finds the world around him increasingly "unacceptable."
In speeches, statements and news conferences this year, the president has repeatedly declared a range of problems "unacceptable," including rising health costs, immigrants who live outside the law, North Korea's claimed nuclear test, genocide in Sudan and Iran's nuclear ambitions.
Bush's decision to lay down blunt new markers about the things he deems intolerable comes at an odd time, a phase of his presidency in which all manner of circumstances are not bending to his will: national security setbacks in North Korea and Iraq, a Congress that has shrugged its shoulders at his top domestic initiatives, a favorability rating mired below 40 percent.
But a survey of transcripts from Bush's public remarks over the past seven years shows the president's worsening political predicament has actually stoked, rather than diminished, his desire to proclaim what he cannot abide. Some presidential scholars and psychologists describe the trend as a signpost of Bush's rising frustration with his declining influence.
In the first nine months of this year, Bush declared more than twice as many events or outcomes "unacceptable" or "not acceptable" as he did in all of 2005, and nearly four times as many as he did in 2004. He is, in fact, at a presidential career high in denouncing events he considers intolerable. They number 37 so far this year, as opposed to five in 2003, 18 in 2002 and 14 in 2001.
The chimp finds the world more and more unacceptable. The world returns the favor.

One participant, who requested anonymity, said he was uncomfortable with the attention Kolbe paid to one of the former pages. He was "creeped out by it," he said, adding that there was a lot of "fawning, petting and touching" on the teenager's arms, shoulders and back by Kolbe.
NBC also interviewed the two former pages, who are now in their late 20s. One of them said that Kolbe was a gentleman and never acted in an improper fashion. He recalled that the pair spent time in Kolbe's house at one point — and briefly were alone with him on the trip — and that Kolbe always acted professionally and decently.
The other would not comment on Kolbe's behavior during the trip or characterize it in any way.
"I don't want to get into the details," he said. "I just don't want to get into this... because I might possibly be considered for a job in the administration."
I blame the Democrats.

I'm sure you've seen this earlier (via Americablog), but no he di'int....
E-mails from former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley to Gov. Jeb Bush reveal that Foley feared two years ago the White House was shunning him, and he called on the governor, President Bush's brother, to intercede.
Foley wrote to Gov. Bush on Sept. 29, 2004: "Have I done something to offend the White House ... I am always getting the shaft...

"I think I probably had my rights violated in many different ways as an American, as an artist, as a Christian, just as a human being."
Yes. Indeed, the other day here in Gitmo as a soldier showed me a picture, the first I'd seen of my son in two years, and assured me that the boy had been raped by a group of crusading Zionists, I couldn't help saying to myself you know, that Mel Gibson's rights are probably being violated, I just can't quite put my mutilated fingers on exactly how.

There seems to be a new meme developing in Republican circles, that the Great Republican Crackup of 2006, was actually orchestrated from within, by undercover Democratic activists.

Conquistador your stallion stands
In need of company
And like some angels haloed brow
You reek of purity
I see your armour-plated breast
Has long since lost its sheen
And in your death mask face
There are no signs which can be seen
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no maze to unwind
Conquistador a vulture sits
Upon your silver shield
And in your rusty scabbard now
The sand has taken seed
And though your jewel-encrusted blade
Has not been plundered still
The sea has washed across your face
And taken of its fill
And though I hoped for something to find
I could see no maze to unwind
Conquistador there is no time
I must pay my respect
And though I came to jeer at you
I leave now with regret
And as the gloom begins to fall
I see there is no, only all
And though you came with sword held high
You did not conquer, only die

Charlie Cook's National Overview
Charlie Cook's National Overview
October 13, 2006
Category 5 Hurricane Heads for House GOP
Let's get the disclaimer out of the way: there are 25 days between now and the November 7 election and things could well change, making what follows obsolete.
That said, this is without question the worst political situation for the GOP since the Watergate disaster in 1974. I think a 30-seat gain today for Democrats is more likely to occur than a 15-seat gain, the minimum that would tip the majority. The chances of that number going higher are also strong, unless something occurs that fundamentally changes the dynamic of this election. This is what Republican strategists' nightmares look like.
Whether one looks at national or district-level polling data, or a survey like the new Democracy Corps survey that covered the 49 most vulnerable GOP districts, the conclusion remains the same: it is very ugly for Republicans.
On a conference call today, James Carville suggested that the Democratic Party should expand beyond just the top targeted races. He believes the party should help fund previously ignored Democratic challengers in second- and third-tier districts--the next 30 to 50 Republican-held seats--to fully capitalize on this environment and help those candidates maximize their chances of winning. Carville went as far as to suggest Democrats go to the bank and borrow $5 million. If I were them, I'd make it $10 million and put $500,000 each of these 20 districts. http://cookpolitical.com/overvie...iew/

Carville went as far as to suggest Democrats go to the bank and borrow $5 million. If I were them, I'd make it $10 million and put $500,000 each of these 20 districts.
$5 mill in specific campaigns and the other 5 in a nation-wide "Had enough? Vote Democratic!" ad blitz. It would be the political daisy-cutter that would take out a score of ReNAMBLAcan incumbents.

"For Republicans, it is a time to defend every seat, no matter how secure those seats appear. If things don't change, GOP incumbents, who never even contemplated having a difficult race, may well lose this year. And if I were a Republican, I'd start praying that something happens to take the spotlight away from Iraq and scandals, because this current issue mix is lethal."
Charlie Cook is very professional, and not one whose excitement exceeds the net numbers in his pocket.
"Readers should remember the Cook Political Report's long respected policy of not putting unindicted incumbents in a worse category than Toss Up."
Baseball is fucking stupid, but especially depressing in Detroit, where the local tv newsliars are trying to insist every few minutes that the late success of the Tigers is the same thing as progress.

hmmm, so did WSJ screw up or has Rep. Charles Taylor [(R-NC)] just slammed the desk drawer shut on his dick?
----
A congressman in the thick of a tough re-election battle demanded Friday that The Wall Street Journal correct and retract statements in an article that said he slipped projects benefiting his own business interests into the federal budget, a claim he called libelous.
Rep. Charles Taylor said he would sue the newspaper if it does not meet his demands, made in a letter written by Asheville lawyer Robert B. Long Jr. and released by Taylor's office.
Taylor is demanding that the Journal retract a front-page article published Wednesday titled "Seat in Congress Helps Mr. Taylor Help His Business." It said he added "earmarks" to legislation to widen two highways near property he owns, to give millions to nonprofit groups run by his business partners and supporters, and to provide $3.8 million for a park in front of a downtown Asheville bank he owns.

As a matter of fact, Detroit is seriously climbing better than ever -- that's what makes so bad the mindless substitution of sports for people. The other day Kei was visiting a relative who insists on living in a fucking hellhole neighborhood. Turn the corner and the Pope's fucking your wife, and it's the old one! what should she see but a brand-new bungalow, aluminum siding but nice design, she would be willing to move into. This in a part of town affectionately referred to as Africa. Kwame might be Kwame but the city is actually turning around and some of the real estate is literally unbelievbable. Young people in the burbs are actually talking about moving downtown, if they can afford it! Whether this continues after GM implodes is another question of course...

No, you don't get it.

Manufacturers have always helped in investigations. Just a simple fact that no one else know the product better.
We were in Australia when the crash happened, got most of our info from the TV, so same stuff you guys saw. Personally, I don't know why they didn't head for the river, but to be honest I don't have a good picture of the weather they were in and what was exactly going wrong.
What's getting to us is the knee jerk reaction about banning small planes over NYC, that's just stupid.

Iraqi Colonel Who Bridged Sectarian Divide Is Killed
Officer Bridged Sectarian Divide
By Ellen Knickmeyer and Jonathan Finer
Washington Post Foreign Service
Saturday, October 14, 2006; Page A01
BAGHDAD, Oct. 13 -- Operating between the insurgent Sunni Arab suburbs of Baghdad and the Shiite militia-dominated south, Col. Salam al-Mamuri and his Scorpion commando team were a rarity among Iraqi security forces, American and Iraqi colleagues said: a police unit fighting on both sides of the country's sectarian divide.
On Friday, a bomb blew apart Mamuri and an aide at the Scorpions' headquarters in the southern city of Hilla. The attack ended the life of a broadly respected commander who had been one of the longest-serving and longest-surviving men in a cadre of Iraqi army veterans struggling to restore law and order after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion. http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...1301752_pf.html
And the Met's 3rd base coach lives in the building too.
I was wondering if he made a huge bet on the Yankees for the playoffs, and was headed to his bookies apartment.

Bush Urges Nation To Be Quiet For A Minute While He Tries To Think
August 30, 2006 | Issue 42•35
WASHINGTON, DC—In a nationally televised address Monday, President Bush urged all citizens, regardless of race, creed, color, or political affiliation, "to quiet down for just one minute" so he could have "a chance to think."
"Every American has an inalienable right to free speech and self-expression," Bush said. "Nonetheless, I call upon the American people to hold off on it for, say, 60 seconds. Just long enough for me to get this all sorted out in my head."
"Please," Bush added.
While the president said achieving a unilateral peace and quiet "would not be easy," he hoped that citizens would respect his wish and work toward a temporary cease-talk so that he could can hear his own thoughts "for once." http://www.theonion.com/content/...de/52106/print/

I'll leave my defense at this: strong songwriting; wry, intelligent lyrics; an utter lack of pretension; a sense of humor; and frankly just my interest in the evolving ideas of one of the few musicians in the generation I find myself in who actually seems to be able to, well, evolve. Gives me hope.

Phil, if you managed to see a Black Flag gig (not that I believe you actually did), it was only because bands like The Dictators and venues like CBGBs pioneered the whole scene. So if you want to be an asshole, go ahead, but you obviously missed the whole point of punk, it was never about being an asshole.
I bet you were the kind of guy who liked to start fights at gigs. That's what killed the scene. The only guy who managed to hang on was Hilly, and now he's dying of heart disease and closing shop due to greedy landlords raising his rent 400%.
And you say music changes, and we should move on, like that was a good thing.

What a fucking moron you are. If you want to know what punk wasn't about, it wasn't about staying in a goddamn rut, clinging to the past, and worshipping bands like some kind of sadsack comic-book collector. It wasn't about being a bitter jerkoff who couldn't adapt to the times, and sat around getting weepy about how music died with Buddy Holly or Jimi Hendrix or Sid Vicious, or whomever. Not to me it wasn't, anyway.
I bet you were the kind of guy who liked to start fights at gigs. That's what killed the scene.
What kind of a demented walking cliche are you? What scene? There were dozens if not hundreds of scenes. And scenes die, whether they're killed or not.
And no, I didn't start fights at clubs. Sheesh.
And you say music changes, and we should move on, like that was a good thing.

Rollins is kind of an interesting case. I've liked him more and more in interviews & such over the last several years -- he's clearly a bright guy and can be pretty funny, and he hates Bush. But goddamn I can't listen to his damn music. Hasn't progressed since 1993.

I did go through a period of thinking hardcore was so stupid I thought I'd die if forced to admit to ever having bought a ticket for Sick of It All.
It was pretty lame, and none of the bands I really liked (e.g., X, Flipper) really fit that mold. And the people were pretty awful, too. But other than that...it was great!

My good friend Mike actually knew Sid and Nancy personally. He kept his distance from them, though. He described them as "The most disgusting people in the world."
History tells the rest. It was a fun time for most involved, but a few chairs flew around here and there. A few of the artists took things too seriously, and died young. That also happened to Morrison, Joplin, Hendricks, and others in an earlier time.
Not all Punks were violent. Some were actually entertainers. It's fun to reminisce. Today's music is drab to me personally by comparison, but I fault no one for liking it. We're all different, it's about diversity.

Hardly any punks were violent, in my experience. Maybe I just got lucky, as the JoBoxers would say.
Today's music is drab to me personally by comparison, but I fault no one for liking it.
A lot of it's drab to me, too, but I'm not a wide-eyed teenager in the big city. Still, I find plenty of new music I like. Nothing that offers quite as much visceral excitement...but I suspect that has more to do with me being in my early forties than with today's bands.

But mostly their choices will have to do with bush, who most people now regard as the out of control weasel we Atriots have always known him to be and as the symbol of all that's gone wrong.

I'm only into my 4th decade, so bits and pieces are only now starting to show wear and tear.
Sorry to hear that your body and soul hurt so.
I remember an interview in the late 80's with Frank Zappa, where he was asked what he wanted for his kids. "To not grow up under another Republican administration" was his reply. He lived long enough to see the end of Bush I.
Such is my fervent wish for my nephews, niece, grand-nephew, all the children and adults and animals and trees and...well...you get the picture.
I, too, am infected with cynicism. I do not want the finals decades of my life to be like it was for the older generation on my mother's side: Heartfelt New Dealers seeing the robber baron chickens come home to roost.
If I can just hold on long enough to hear something like "disgraced former President Bush is battling extradition orders--Kissinger and James Baker have no comment."

David Gregory of NBC is on and it is really discusting. What gets me is just how embedded in Republican Talking points his comments are.
Leno of course is a huge tool. In his questions he was always approaching it from the Republican's side, Regarding Midterm elections, "Just how bad will it be?" The unsaid phrase "For us."
As it It's a bad thing for republican's to lose. And then they did a bit about "The economy is great and unemployment is down, why are Bush's number so low?"
gregory said, It's Iraq and then went on to say it's all about stay the course or cut and run. And how James Baker might help save the day by giving Bush some way out.
I really thought I was going to vomit.
These people are still SOOOO in the bag with Bush. Constantly making excuses for him and to see it come from Gregory who actually has asked Bush some tough questions.
TV celebrity journalism.

They might have, but I was watching the PBS episode on Status Anxiety and one of the things they mentioned was how the rulers reinforce subtly what is and isn't important and right.
PBS keeps supporting the idea that "The grown ups are in charge" even though they are bankrupting us, getting our soliders killed and refusing to change their mind in the face of overwhelming evidence that they should for the good of the country." Hardly the acts of grownups.

Remember the gal who joined the Army because her daughter was injured in Iraq? It was a lie.
An Ohio soldier who claimed she joined the Army after her daughter was hurt in Iraq - an inspiring tale that was the subject of news accounts - made up the story, the Army confirmed Friday...a public affairs representative at the school on Redstone, where Smith was training to dismantle explosives, originally learned of Smith's story while talking with other soldiers.
An Army press agent spread the lie to the media. Why am I not surprised?

Still, the stars shine wildly bright tonight here in the central Pacific, with a mild low 70's breeze exchanging the air in the house every two minutes, no dogs barking, wine on the desk, bills paid, and nothing to rush this late evening. Midnight is well over an hour off, no reason to rush to bed.

The Wretched Years
By William Rivers Pitt
< t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Friday 13 October 2006 History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.
- Maya Angelou
George W. Bush gave a press conference this past Wednesday in an attempt to snatch back the conversation from North Korea's nukes and Mark Foley's instant messages. A reporter from CNN asked him about the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health report that puts the civilian death toll in Iraq at 655,000. "I am, you know, amazed that this is a society which so wants to be free that they're willing to - you know, that there's a level of violence that they tolerate," he responded.
Yes. That's what he said.
This is, to a degree, not terribly surprising. Mr. Bush has a penchant for casually saying the most abominable things imaginable without blinking. Recall, if you will, the days following the attacks of September 11th. A pall of poison smoke still hung low over New York City. Americans were suddenly living in fear of blue skies and airplanes. The as-yet-unsolved anthrax attacks on Congress and the media had us all collecting our mail with oven mitts while holding our breath.
On October 4th, 2001, less than a month after the attacks, Mr. Bush said, "We need to counter the shock wave of the evildoer by having individual rate cuts accelerated and by thinking about tax rebates."
Yes. That's what he said.
These two statements serve as bookends for the wretched years we have endured. The worst attack in American history is used to pimp a plan for tax cuts, and the unimaginable slaughter of Iraqi civilians is a platform for praising the survivors of the carnage because the are so darned good at tolerating it.
What will history have to say about these times? History, it has often been said, is written by the victors, but who really wins anything after all this? If the most delectable left-wing fantasies come true - the Democrats take Congress in November, Bush and his cronies are impeached by a fire-breathing Conyers Judiciary Committee - little will be left to win.
People will still be dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. New Orleans will still be destroyed. The environment will still be poisoned. Laws that all but eviscerate the Bill of Rights will still be on the books. The same unimaginably wealthy industrialists will still have the same clout. The news media will still be controlled by people whose interests lie far afield from telling us the truth.
Much of this can be undone or contained, to be sure, except for all the death. The laws can be rolled back. Sensible policies can be applied to the wars we are losing. New Orleans can be rebuilt. The media can be re-regulated. With a proper amount of effort and attention, most of the damage that has been done can be fixed. Except for all the death.

Mr. Ney said he was an alcoholic and was seeking treatment at an outpatient medical center. Asked by Judge Huvelle on Friday whether he was currently under any medical treatment, he replied, “Right now, alcohol, last 30 days.”
His lawyers said Friday that they would ask that he be placed in a prison with an alcoholism treatment program.
it appears, that Ney's lawyers are setting up the judge for an early Ney trip to 'Club Fed'...In the federal prison system, white-collar criminals with no prior record are typically sent to minimum-security facilities known as prison camps.
"That's what's commonly referred to as Club Fed , "It's like a college dormitory without bars."

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 12 (AP) — A man who could not find steady work came up with a plan to make it through the next few years until he could collect Social Security: He robbed a bank, handed the money to a guard and waited for the police.
On Wednesday, the man, Timothy J. Bowers, told a judge that a three-year prison sentence would suit him, and the judge obliged.
“At my age, the jobs available to me are minimum-wage jobs,” Mr. Bowers, who will turn 63 in a few weeks, told the judge, Angela White. “There is age discrimination out there.”
Judge White told him: “It’s unfortunate you feel this is the only way to deal with the situation.”
Mr. Bowers said he had been able to find only odd jobs after the drug wholesaler for which he made deliveries closed in 2003. He walked to a bank and handed a teller a note demanding cash in an envelope. The teller gave him four $20 bills and pushed a silent alarm.
Mr. Bowers handed the money to a security guard standing in the lobby and told him it was his day to be a hero.
He pleaded guilty to robbery, and a court-ordered psychological exam found him competent.
The Columbus Dispatch reported that before the robbery, Mr. Bowers had handed his landlady the keys to his apartment, his mailbox and the laundry room and told her he would probably not be back.

I seem to recall going about 10 years back there was another guy from Ohio, in his 70's, who stuck up a 7-11 and got caught. If I remember, when he went to court it turned out he had all sorts of medical problems, and was suppose to have told the judge that he wanted to go to jail so the state could pay for his treatment.
Like I said, I seem to recall this happening, but don't have a link on the story. But, considering how things in this country are, it wouldn't surprise me that it happened.

The debate over same-sex marriage was a black-or-white proposition two years ago when voters in 11 states barred gay couples from marrying.
But this year shades of gray are everywhere, as eight more states consider similar ballot measures. Some of the proposed bans are struggling in the polls, and the issue of same-sex marriage itself has largely failed to rouse conservative voters.
In some cases, other issues, like the war in Iraq and ethics in Washington, have seized voters’ attention. But the biggest change, people on both sides of the issue say, is that supporters of same-sex marriage this year are likely to be as mobilized as the opponents.
And now the neocons are having a problem with Teh Gay. Outside of Capitol Hill, that is.

World’s too small for Goofy-on-Chip sex video
Disney takes ‘appropriate action’ over characters’ ‘mouse orgy’ at Paris park
The Walt Disney Co. Thursday said it took "appropriate action" against employees at its Paris theme park who were caught simulating sex while dressed as Disney characters in a digital video that has received wide attention on the Internet.
Disney would not say whether it had dismissed any of the costumed employees featured in the grainy video, which appears to have been shot with a hidden camera at a backstage dressing room at Disneyland Resort Paris.
The video shows Minnie Mouse struggling to free herself as she is grabbed from behind by Goofy and then a giant snowman.
Later, Mickey Mouse simulates sex with the snowman and Goofy does the same with either Chip or Dale, the chipmunks, as laughter is heard on the tape.
The tape is described on the Internet as the "mouse orgy."

Tremendous correlation of sleep apnea and cardiac trouble. It's a genuine and problematic condition. 'S why i have the dammed C/PAP machine to breathe with at night now. (Price of a size 18 1/2 neck).

I've not heard of anyone dying from sleep apnea, though since it is actually stopping breathing, it is possible. It's my impression that sleep apnea is a complication/symptom of other medical problems. It's a pity, either way.

Just planning my next fishing trip. Been reading the mapbook and fishing guide, trying to figure out where to spot out next.
Same general area - just a couple spots I haven't fished in many years. I need to waste a month of fishing time before they open the weir on the Little Manistee back up, and allow the free flow of fish to resume.
It sure is nice being able to fish again - almost like I used too. I'm still really careful about what I do in the water yet, and that's a good thing. I hope to keep on going at least weekly until early December.
Then I'll see what winter brings, and start planning for March, when the spawn starts.

Liberals will try to take God out of the pledge. See how that plays in Peoria.
No, Gary, liberals don't have time to deal with these kinds of phony social issues. In a few weeks, as soon as we get control of both houses, we'll be seeing how things like:
- providing affordable healthcare for the 15+ percent of the people who don't have it
- providing a more equitable standing with regard to dealing with health insurance providers for the 85 percent of us fortunate enough to have health insurance, but who have seen the quality of service degrade rapidly, with nobody in congress making a peep about it
- or dealing with big companies who turn all the smarts on steamrolling low-income working poor people -- stealing their money and dignity -- because they think they can get away with it
- taking a look at where tens of billions of dollars spent on a "provisional authority" went, given that congress had no apparent interest when it was being spent
- investigating how all almost all federal acquisitions programs have been ransacked, leaving access to federal spending the exclusive reserve of the well-connected -- again, evidence of tens or hundreds of billions literally being skimmed and swindled
play in Peoria.
We could (and will) go on and on laying out real issues. We're willing to debate them, too, if you're honest about it. But what we're seeing on the right is an utter bankruptcy -- morally and intellectually. People don't care about God in the poledge or flag burning or gay marriage or any of these rhetorical hand feints when they're crippled with medical bills they can't pay, or can't afford housing, ir can't find a job, etc., etc. And God forbid what people will be thinking about when the true extent of the criminality that this junta represents gets exposed in teh clear light of day.
Let's see how people react when we lift some rocks and see how the whole infrastructure of the federal government has been twisted into a criminal enterprise, with no accountability or conscience.
No Gary, we'll have our hands full with real issues for the next 20 years, just cleaning up the mess these criminals have saddled us with. God help us all.

I don't think they meant to fuck things up. I think each member of the Junta had its own agenda - Rumsfeld to put his boot on the military's neck, Cheney to make the Presidency more powerful and secretive, Bush to show up Daddy, and Rove to do whatever needed to maintain power.
Their biggest weakness has always been that Rove (and Bush) could never see past the current battle - the only thing that mattered was winning this one. And so politics always trumped any semblance of rational policy, until policy-making just stopped happening.
And eventually, because they had no policies, as the old ones failed they started getting caught unawares (like NK).

Probably to send the message "Don't vote Democratic. We plan to change things after the election we just don't want to tell you what we are going to do. Please keep us in power."
Not unlike Nixon's preelection secret plan to end the Vietnam War.
Placing bets over the Internet was effectively criminalized by the federal government yesterday, as lawmakers work to eliminate an activity enjoyed by as many as 23 million Americans who wagered an estimated $6 billion last year. http://www.washingtonpost.com/

That revealed how many suckers can have their vote molested, particularly in the 'Southern' part of that strategy, which is found all around the country.
Afterward though, when Tricky Dick slunk out of office, a great many people swore they would never again vote for an R.
Took the asswipes a couple decades to recover from that, and I have the sprout of a hope that it could happen again next month.
