Harper en chute libre au Québec
Neuf mois après leur arrivée au pouvoir, portés entre autres par de forts appuis au Québec, les conservateurs de Stephen Harper doivent tout recommencer dans cette province.
Un sondage EKOS mené pour le compte de La Presse et du Toronto Star, publié samedi, révèle en effet que les intentions de vote envers le parti de Stephen Harper ont chuté à 17 %. La dégringolade est telle que les libéraux ont réussi à reprendre le deuxième rang de la faveur populaire québécoise, avec 21 % d'appuis.

OT:Germany re-enacts Battle of Jena
More than 1,000 people from across Europe will re-enact one of Napoleon's most famous victories on Saturday afternoon near the German town of Jena.
Many participants see the event, on the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Jena, as a symbol of European unity.
Knocking seven bells out of your opponents on a battlefield is an unusual way to do it.
But that is exactly what is going to happen outside Jena where as many as 50,000 soldiers were killed or injured.
The re-enactors come complete with horses, cannons and costumes, and there will be a Napoleon too although, rather bizarrely, he will be played by an American.

Colorado Group: God, Moses Oppose State Minimum Wage Increase
This November, Coloradoans will vote on Amendment 42, a ballot initiative to raise the state minimum wage from $5.15 to $6.85. If the initiative passes, the minimum wage would be “adjusted annually for inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index used for Colorado.”
Stop 42, the group opposed to the initiative, is taking a “biblical” approach in their campaign against a minimum wage increase. Their new ad depicts a “Moses” character speaking to the voice of God in the Rocky Mountains. “We need divine intervention,” Moses says. God responds: “We can’t let the people make this mistake. Go. Spread the word. Vote no on 42!”

Insurance companies are expecting record profits in 2006 after predictions of another year of devastating hurricanes have so far come to naught.
Industry experts are estimating that profits may reach $60 billion, on a combination of higher premiums along the coasts, no major payouts for natural disasters and strong investment returns. The insurers also had high profits on other lines of coverage like auto insurance, workers compensation and general liability.
The record profits expected this year come after a terrible 2005, when insurers paid out $61 billion for damage from Hurricane Katrina and other storms. Even so, the insurers ended up with a profit of $43 billion for the year because of exceptionally good results on investments, declining claims on policies on homes away from the coast and profits on other lines of coverage.
But homeowners and businesses along the coasts, hit with much higher insurance costs after the barrage of hurricanes, probably will not get any relief as a result of the much quieter season, industry experts and consumer advocates said.
I'm sure this is nothing still more deregulation couldn't solve!

Woman 'suspended for wearing cross'
British Airways has banned a Christian woman from wearing a cross on a necklace to work, it was reported.
The Daily Mail reports that Heathrow check-in worker Nadia Eweida was sent home after refusing to remove the crucifix that breached BA's dress code.
The move has been criticised by Christian groups and Miss Eweida's MP Vince Cable.
The Mail says Miss Eweida, who has an unblemished record during seven years at BA, is suing her employer for religious discrimination after being suspended from work without pay for two weeks.
Miss Eweida, 55, from Twickenham, told the paper: "I will not hide my belief in the Lord Jesus. British Airways permits Muslims to wear a headscarf, Sikhs to wear a turban and other faiths religious apparel.

Most people want Muslims to try harder to integrate, poll reveals
· ICM shows narrow backing for Straw's view on veils · Fears on social polarisation reflect generation gap
Widespread public acceptance of Britain's Muslim community runs alongside fears about the development of a divided society, according to a Guardian/ICM poll published today. It reveals that voters want Muslims to do more to integrate themselves into mainstream culture.
The poll, carried out in the wake of Jack Straw's criticism of the full veil worn by some Muslim women, shows voters take a largely relaxed view of British Muslim citizens, despite fears among some community leaders and politicians about social polarisation.
Britain may even be growing more tolerant, with young voters generally more supportive of Muslim opinion than older ones.
But the poll also shows that tolerance is set against a clear belief that integration has not yet gone far enough. Only 22% of voters think that British Muslims have done all they need to in order to fit into mainstream society.
A majority, 57%, believe that Muslims have a responsibility to do more to achieve it. That view is reflected in public support for Mr Straw's comments on the full veil, or niqab.
Nonsense! We are a nation of laws, and the people would only elect to office those of the highest integrity. Maybe using the police apparatus to purge political enemies was just fine in the Soviet Union, but this is the United States of America--our leaders represent the best of our good intentions and traditions of liberty.

British Airways has banned a Christian woman from wearing a cross on a necklace to work, it was reported.
Apparently the rule is that jewelry with religious symbology must be worn so that the symbol isn't visible, i.e. under one's clothing; headgear is tolerated because there's no practical way to conceal it.
I can see where this rule is problematic, and open to challenge. However, the Christian exhibitionist has a remedy: she ought to lose the necklace and report to work wearing a crown of thorns. That'll show 'em!

Europe considers U-turn on military use for 'Galileo'
Europe's satellite navigation system might be opened up for military use, the European Commission has suggested, in a policy shift that sets it on a collision course with Britain and the United States.
Billed as a civilian project, a rocket blasted the first of a constellation of 30 navigation satellites into space last December from a launch pad in Kazakhstan.
Now the European commissioner for transport, Jacques Barrot, has crossed a new threshold, suggesting that the Galileo project, which aims to rival America's Global Positioning System (GPS), might have defence applications. The idea could help recoup some of the financial outlay on the project, the development costs of which have grown by €500m (£340m) in the past few months.

Muslim clerics reach out to Pope
An open letter to the Pope from 38 top Muslim clerics in various countries accepts his expressions of regret for his controversial speech on Islam.
But the lengthy letter carried on the website of Islamica magazine also points out "errors" and "mistakes" in the Pope's speech.
The clerics' letter is due to be passed to the Vatican on Sunday.
Pope Benedict sparked an uproar in September by quoting a mediaeval text which linked Islam to violence.
He has not apologised for the speech delivered in Regensburg, Germany, but said he regretted the offence it had caused among Muslims.

Leaked parts of Jimmy Baker's Iraq Study Group plans:
...the commission is headed toward presenting President Bush with two clear policy choices that contradict his rhetoric of establishing democracy in Iraq. The more palatable of the two choices for the White House, "Stability First," argues that the military should focus on stabilizing Baghdad while the American Embassy should work toward political accommodation with insurgents. The goal of nurturing a democracy in Iraq is dropped.
The option papers, which sources inside the commission have stressed are still being amended and revised as the panel wraps up its work, give a clearer picture of what Mr. Baker meant in recent interviews when he called for a course adjustment.
They also shed light on what is at stake in the coming 2 1/2 months for the Iraqi government. The "Redeploy and Contain" option calls for the phased withdrawal of American soldiers from Iraq, though the working groups have yet to say when and where those troops will go. The document, read over the telephone to the Sun, says America should "make clear to allies and others that U.S. redeployment does not reduce determination to attack terrorists wherever they are." It also says America's top priority should be minimizing American casualties in Iraq

Do you have access to the electrical panels in your building?
Dr. Wu | 10.14.06 - 12:40 pm | #
Done that too. stupid neighbor left for the weekend, and turned on his tv so it would appear that someone was home. I finally realized this, and took out the fuse for his living room, and then put it back. I don't think he ever realized that, or if he did he didn't say anything. OTOH, he never did it again.
Speaking of polls ... I have a question.
If some ass-much 11-07-06 exit poll asks people what matters most blah blah blah and everyone answers "moral values" what are the cockheads like Tweety, Timmeh, and the NYT gonna make of it?

Re: "pushed-in faces" of cats--Breeders have worked hard to flatten them, push them in to extremes, so much so that some cats have barely any room for sinuses, thus all the eye drippage. Poor babies.
Conversely, breeders have worked hard to make the Siamese face longer and narrower through the muzzle (does that apply to kitties?), again to extremes. So much so that some have problems with jaw alignment and vision. So sad.
Lots of people opt for what is called the "apple head Siamese," which is more natural looking--and IMHO more beautiful.

New York City's got too many songs written about it. Write one about Buffalo.
I can't wait until we marginailize the Dems forever by using action for freedom.
"Action for freedom."
Sounds very National Socialist.
And very Republican party.
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN: "Come here little boy. I want to take action for freedom."
LITTLE BOY: "Um, I don't think so. I'm only 10 and you're a dirty old Republican congressman with a perpetual erection."
jawbone - sorry.
The Republican party is all of a sudden starting to focus on real issues. They loudly repeat that Democrats don't stand for anything, yet here's what the GOP so often says it stands for: 1) Limited government, 2) Tax cuts, 3) Strong defense 4) Family Values. The only problem is that Republicans don't stand for any of the above, other than tax cuts, but they have already cut the actual distribution of the massive taxes they do collect so far that it's become truly dangerous and counter-productive for our entire society and world.
Limited government? Let us all laugh together. Republicans are running the most intrusive, invasive, and predatory government since the Nazis. Tax cuts? They have turned the $400 billion surplus generated during the 8 years of the Clinton Presidency into a massive 7-trillion dollar deficit in order to pay for the most bloated beurocracy the world has ever seen. This is not limited government, but rather its exact opposite. If this government worked for us perhaps there might be some justification for its size, but Katrina proved that the GOP controlled US Government doesn't care in the least about its citizens.
Strong on defense? The recently released National Intelligence Estimate clearly states that more terrorists have been created by GOP policies since 9/11. Republicans have invaded the wrong country (Iraq), and never finished the job in the country they already invaded (Afghanistan). This is not strong defense but rather perpetual war on behalf of Dick Cheney and George Bush's oil interests. Howbeit, the GOP enjoys nothing more than pointing their greedy bloodstained fingers in your face and repeatedly screetching that they are the only party of Family Values.
A simple two word reply is sufficient to the Family Values lie: Mark Foley, and two more words if needed: Dennis Hastert. The GOP talks a good talk. But in the end, they've been preaching the same party platform for at least 30 years now. The GOP does not mean any of the things they're saying, and they don't know what else to say. The fact is that Republicans don't stand for anything other than tired slogans. Have you had enough?
The real reason you recently saw a spate of patronizing hand-wringing "prevelance of conspiracy theories are a troubling sign regarding the nations psyche" stories lately is that Two-Party politics itself is in reality one of several divide and conquer strategies designed by those who already literally hold nearly all of the power and have all the money in the world to distract you from the fact that a massive conspiracy does in fact exist, and has existed for many centuries, to arrogate to themselves whatever power and money the wealthy and powerful do not yet possess, and thereby literally enslave humanity.
So what if he used the database.

I ain't wearin' a tux, Miss Thing. I tolt you that.
Some of the better known clandestine societies include: The Bildeberg Club, The Club of Rome, The Illuminati, The Mafia, The British Round Table, The Knights Templar, The Freemasons, The Trilateral Commission, The Council of Foreign Relations, The RIIA, The Travistock Institute, The KKK, The Skull and Bones Society and The Project for the New American Century. Many World leaders are members of these influential organizations. For example, failure to attend the annual Bildeberg Club meeting is said to all but ensure failure at the next national elections.
Additionally, there is an ever more worrying proliferation of criminally based networks of paedophiles, satanists, cultists, illegal researchers and so on. Each watches out for its own members and thereby allows them to prosper and multiply. The more of them there are in any field of endeavour, any sphere or sector, the more acceptable their ways and so the greater their influence. Many use various forms or terrorism to achieve their goals.
A Subtler Terrorism: In the Middle East, the perceived hub or terrorism for us in the West, many brand
the US as "The Great Satan". This is as much for their oppressive stance in the zone as for their perceived immorality. Certainly there's no denying that The New World Order is an American concept. Likewise, we
in the west are encouraged to see Islamic/Arabic extremists from that region as devils; fanatics waging
a cowardly, "holy" war based on religious differences. Their collective hatred is supposedly directed, indiscriminately, at Jews, Westerners etc. Neither extreme view is strictly correct and even then it only applies to some. However, both sets of leaders are, with their allies, guilty of manipulation, provocation and escalation.
This has led to numerous, tragic acts of terrorism in recent years; the World Trade Centre disaster, The Bali bombings and so on. Now, "terrorism" is defined as the use of violence OR INTIMIDATION to achieve your goals.
Therefore, the abhorrent use of psychological and emotional violence, pressure or harassment is just as much an act of terror as a violent hijacking or a suicide bombing. So, bloodless hostage crises, political or state repression/oppression, covert agency harassment, media fear campaigns, etc. are all acts of terrorism. Accordingly, the unregulated media mafia, the unchecked government spy agencies and so on should all be placed under careful scrutiny during any legitimate "war on terror". But no legitimate war exists, and if one did, it could not be against such a vague "concept".
This is why the media has become less, rather than more regulated when it comes to truth-telling. Most people fear corrupt media representatives and covert agency people (e.g. the CIA) more
than anyone else, and with good reason.
But, Snow! You'd look so handsome in that tux! Puhleeze, baby?!
Strong on defense? The recently released National Intelligence Estimate clearly states that more terrorists have been created by GOP policies since 9/11.
I would posit that studies would reveal the same findings prior to 9/11 as well.

Well...the point is to have total target surveillance over the entire planet, with weapons in orbit capable of striking anywhere we desire. This solves the problem of maintaining forward bases to project our power and protect strategic interests--plenty of countries resent our presence in their lands (cue falling WTC).
A problem is the likelihood that the weapons will be nuclear, or at least use nuclear energy for power--lots of firepower and global health destroying material flying over our heads and vested in careful and far-seeing officials in the Pentagon and the White House...and built with all quality and durability that a corrupt deregulating free market ideology has to offer.
We're doomed!

So much so that mere mention of their involvement instills
such fear that it's an absolute conversation stopper; evidence of the worst terrorism imaginable. And unlike known terrorist networks they cannot be questioned let alone stopped. Of course, as the truth is always an early casualty anyway, the media/agency/crime figures involved replace it with whatever they choose; pointing away from themselves with suitable indignation and outrage.
State Sponsored Terror: Many of the US's enemies were trained and armed by the US. This, coupled with subsequent provocation of those enemies, must be recognized as part of the terrorism problem. The provocateur escapes detection then uses the retaliation as an excuse to escalate activity. The fact that money is generated by all of this is both a central and disturbing truth that is being largely ignored.
If there was nothing to gain by it then it wouldn't happen. The public are also unaware that covert methods are used. For example, regular readers of "Exposure" and now "Hard Evidence" will be familiar with the existence of high tech satellite, microwave and ground based weapons such as thought scanners, advanced neurophones and the like. Unlike the deaf-friendly miraphone, modern neurophone based technologies are weapons used for state-sponsored crime effected by agencies like the CIA, NSA, DIA, and their criminal "business" associates. This is where billions of your tax dollars are spent.
The technology allows operatives to use advanced computer programs to deliver aural harassment and/or threats via microwave and satellite. Satellite brainwave monitors and powerful computers (at secret facilities and relay stations) also allow for the deciphering of the targets thoughts, simultaneously. You can research this yourself fully later on but suffice to say for now that the mind reading capabilities
of the relevant technologies are another conversation stopper, not because of disbelief but because of fear. Protestors, writers, human rights campaigners, whistleblowers etc may be severly traumatized by long term exposure to techno-based torture and oppression. The results can be discrediting. Most who are targeted, have a "political" background. To debase anyone is bad enough, but to exacerbate the suffering of such people is unbelievably cruel and cynical.
Yet another form of all too common terrorism is the media feedback of surveillance results. This is often facilitated by the state through MP's, agency personnel etc, who set up the spying, then relay the frequencies or pass on results. The way it works is that any unwelcome (though private) comment leads to a response (directly with live TV/radio or later if not). Your own words/views/thoughts/actions etc. are thrown back at you from the surveillance, usually from the appropriate public figure or sector (with or without their knowledge). It often takes the form of a threat.

res ipsa loquitur
Coming back to flyover country was kind of a downer. In such a short time I had gotten used to schlepping up those sidewalks within the granite, glass, and concrete canyons.
I may tape little cut-outs of buildings to the sides of my glasses just to recapture the feeling.
For example, the writers 91 yr old Aunt, who lives at Parramatta, had a turn and was taken to Westmead hospital. The next day, as I prepared to take the final draft of this article to my typing service (near my Aunts home) I listened to the morning radio news. The no.1 item was about a 91 yr old Parramatta woman (not my Aunt) who'd died at Westmead hospital after a bashing outside her home.
Investigation and subsequent reports revealed that the news details were (deliberately) incorrect. "They" search for coincidences, then time and prioritise the reports in an attempt to terrorise their targets. When all else fails they just make it up. The facts are wrong but the intention is clear. Despite the general public's suspicions, most don't realise that the media's role in controlling knowledge, perceptions and beliefs extends to this sort of crime (against those who offend the criminals perpetrating this agenda).
In any event, taking an undue interest in a non-public figure to the point of spying on them (yet refusing to talk to them) reveals the foul intentions of all involved in such practices, and those journalists that oppose it suddenly find themselves unwelcome in mainstream media circles.
So only those who are complicit or silent survive. Therefore, to give these media terrorists the benefit
of the doubt, to trust anyone in the mass media once victimized in this manner, is to make a serious error
in judgement. Lies are spread, recordings made and there is no privacy at all. One example of this involved a female whistleblower contending with corrupt media execs, at channel 7. They lodged a false complaint through their own media "crime stoppers" people with "friendly"/corrupt police.
It was said that she was about to rob a bank. This stopped her whistleblowing and she hid in her house for fear of being framed/set up with weapons, drugs etc. The terrible realization that those you should be able to turn to for help are fully culpable themselves is shattering for most.
Getting back to the governments themselves, with the legal/constitutional amendments taking place these days (supposedly only to combat terrorism) we now have a situation where innocent people can
be framed/tortured/oppressed by the state with "terrorist watch" type excuses used to suppress the truth. Secretive societies, even groups of criminally connected "mates", can arrange this all too easily through their contact, and a conspiracy of silence covers it up.
It's an excellent way of victimising and isolating people. Recent responses to the September 11 tragedy have seen civil liberties take a battering, bringing democracy itself under fire. Draconion laws have been passed and corrupt agencies are covertly targeting supposed suspects who are usually nothing more than concerned citizens exercising their democratic rights.

Gorgeous cat. Luckily for us, they come in all kinds and flavors and shapes and sizes and colors.
So we all get to make our own choices.
By "pretending" to doubt a target and refusing to talk with them agencies (like the CIA, DIA, MOSSAD, MI6, ASIS, ONA etc) can use their arsenal of "anti-citizen" weapons in a trial of how to terrorise, silence, and discredit people.
Those responsible remain "beyond reproach" using remote space-based and other advanced technologies, and quoting "National Security" as their justification for silence and the secrecy orders placed on the weapons themselves.
As a result the public doesn't question this because they don't know the technologies exist. So, we have a situation wherein patriotic, compassionate people who are raising awareness on important issues are not only be terrorized by government agencies (silenced on behalf of corrupt "business" interests), but they can also be falsely accused to justify the surveillance in the first place.
The "Don't talk to them" attitude
of the ruling class and their associated "clubs" fuels the situation, along with their involvement in harassment directed at the targets who are usually totally innocent. In the post cold-war era, crimes against citizens are becoming a more substantial part of agency operatives work. Protected agency/"business" operations (like the drug and arms trades, prostitution, paedophile networks etc.) cannot be questioned without consequences, especially for ordinary, unconnected people, and these same people can be offered up
for experimental programs where techniques and technologies are employed to study how to control
and thereby silence them.
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

Cheney campaigns across the country for Lieberman
Since the day after the primary, when he called up reporters in a tag-team attack with Joe Lieberman to impugn Ned Lamont's patriotism and attack Connecticut Democrats as supporting "Al Qaeda types" by voting for a change in course, Dick Cheney has been campaigning across the country attacking Ned Lamont.
Why won't Joe Lieberman disown these attacks? Perhaps it has something to do with why Karl Rove called him on primary day offering "help" from "the boss." Or why his campaign is currently using Fox News slurs against the Democratic party. Or why his record-breaking $15 million+ campaign is currently being supported by Swift Boat financiers and Social Security privatizers.
Because he will caucus with Republicans if he wins and it benefits him.

Henrietta the Hound is beautiful. I'm not sure if she is full English pointer or a mix with predominantly English pointer, but in any case pointers were not bred for looks but for hunting ability and similar aspects. She has been very healthy.
But boxers in the U.S. do have health problems caused by breeding from too small a number of dogs initially. A lot of cancer. They are great dogs otherwise.

The declaration last Monday by North Korea that it had conducted a successful atomic test brought to nine the number of nations believed to have nuclear arms. But atomic officials estimate that as many as 40 more countries have the technical skill, and in some cases the required material, to build a bomb.
That ability, coupled with new nuclear threats in Asia and the Middle East, risks a second nuclear age, officials and arms control specialists say, in which nations are more likely to abandon the old restraints against atomic weapons.

Heidi and George are bargains at twice the price.

Now, Moonboo, just so you know we're paying attention: I remember that George was a bit distressed during (and after) his last visit to the vet. He did recover swiftly, though, I was glad to find.
PS: Even though I'm not much of an animal person, i.e. I limit interaction to watching the fauna in my back yard, I got truly hooked on a British TV program called "Vets In Practice" that ran here on PBS a couple of years back. It simply followed the adventures of recently-graduated vets from week to week, naturally including their patients great and small.
It was such a pleasant and interesting show-- to me, a civilized "reality show" miles above the contrived imbecility upon which Amerikan reality shows depend. I was really sorry when it abruptly ended.

When I was coming home from DC I couldn't get the AAR station till I was in Brooklyn.
Checked 1600AM (WWRL) schedule for Air America--not broadcasting AAR on weekends, just weekdays, from what I can tell. Lots of religion shows on mornings, Laura Flanders and Ring of Fire on later--will try then, see if I can recognize any of the programming to see how accurate my AM radio is! (No, it's dial, not digital)
Anyone listen to the new AAR station in NYC area? How is the signal?

"We did find that Rep. Gerry Studds (D-Mass.) had sexual relations with a 17-year-old male page and had made advances to other teenage male pages."

Just in case, be sure to wear stretch pants before any altercation.
Stubbs? Don't know-- I guess it's possible. Never heard of him.
Wingnut troll-lice are always going on about imaginary Democratic politicians who drown young ladies, rape pages, etc.
But they remain utterly oblivious to the heinous criminal nature of the real-life Executive branch cabal, whose senior members are shamelessly treading blood in the oceans of it they've deliberately, if vicariously, caused to be shed.

Epistle to Dippy:
Not that I am in favor of Congressmen in their thirties (or 40s or 50s) having sex with teenage pages, but that still doesn't make it rape. But then, you already know this, don't ya?
In 1983, Studds acknowledged his homosexuality after a 27-year-old man disclosed that he and Studds had had a sexual relationship a decade earlier when the man was a teenage congressional page.
The House of Representatives censured Studds, who then went home to face his constituents in a series of public meetings.
At the time, Studds called the relationship with the teenage page, which included a trip to Europe, "a very serious error in judgment." But he did not apologize and defended the relationship as a consensual relationship with a young adult. The former page later appeared publicly with Studds in support of him.

Is the link atriosed?
Excerpt from a speech delivered in 1933, by Major General Smedley Butler, USMC.
"War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.
I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.
I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."

Dan Savage's take on Foley:
But if someone turned up e-mails or IM chats in which I asked a kid to measure his cock for me—or asked him for details about his masturbation habits, or whether I made him horny, or if he just came—I don’t think Dennis Hastert, Tony Snow, Matt Drudge, and Rush Limbaugh would launch a cover-up to protect my skanky ass or, failing that, rush to my defense, pointing out that it was just, you know, a few naughty e-mails or the fault of some dirty-minded teenage beasts. They would call for my head.
So why would they bend over forward to accommodate Foley?
Because, in their eyes, Foley was doing everything right. The religious conservatives in the GOP’s base don’t seriously believe that gay men can become straight. (Want to stop a straight person from making the ex-gay argument? Ask him if he’d let his daughter marry one.) What they believe in—what they demand—are closeted homos, homos like Foley, a single man who refused to answer direct questions about his sexual orientation. (Has any straight man ever refused to reveal his sexual orientation?) The religious conservatives in the GOP’s base want all gays to be like Foley: deny who we are, live our lives alone, refuse to answer any questions about our sexuality. To them, Foley was a good, closeted homo, deserving of every consideration.
The GOP was willing to cover for Foley because Foley, by being closeted, covered for them for years. So what if closet cases act out in sexually inappropriate ways? A few raped altar boys and skeeved-out pages are a price the gay haters are only too willing to pay if it means fewer out homos.
