I've always liked the musical numbers from Cabaret, even if the movie wasn't as good as the one stage production I saw. That was at Stratford, ON, where they've learned to do great musicals as well as Shakespeares.

VFW endorses Tammy Duckworth's opponent who never even served - she lost both legs in Iraq
by John in DC - 11/04/2006 09:51:00 PM
The Veterans of Foreign Wars is suddenly being forced to explain how it came by this endorsement - ignoring a recent Vet who made practically the ultimate sacrifice for her country in Iraq, and instead choosing a guy who never even served. The VFW's response? Some guy told them to do it, so they did it, without really looking into it.
So the VFW's endorsements pretty much mean nothing since the VFW can't be bothered to give even a little time towards figuring out what would best serve our troops and vets. http://americablog.blogspot.com/...s-

The thing of it is as time goes by, that picture becomes too much of a possibility. It was easier when you could simply think of his associations as warmongers, overly religious and the like. Now, the portrait is more of the corrupt, sleazy and basically unstable. Neither is preferable, but the latter makes things much more volatile in my opinion.

Well think about what was discussed before say Jeff Gannon. Compare it to now.
Maybe my memory is off a bit, but we were talking more about things like the Sauds, Negroponte, Wolfawhatzit, Cheney etc. in terms of the war, traditional corruption and other matters. Now we are looking at people in a different light beyond politics and business and deciding if we would move to the other side of the street if we would pass one another. It is a bit creepy.

He's amazingly chipper. In an odd way, I think the biopsy has helped him, they took out so much tissue, I think he's a little more comfortable now.
The only really bad day he had was wednesday night- he was in a lot of pain and he was terrified.
I'm really encouraged at how well he's doing. It's in his lymph glands, which is bad, bad, bad... but I am hopeful that I'll at least have some good months with him.

On Sunday Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chairman Rahm Emanuel will appear on NBC's Meet the Press to engage in his final debate with Tom Reynolds, the embattled Chairman of our Republican counterpart, the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC). The last two years have been a brutal battle between the two parties and an inspirational effort on behalf of all Democrats, both in Washington, D.C. and in the grassroots all across the country.
The debate will be on NBC Sunday morning, you can find your local time and station by clicking below:
I won't be surprised if sparks fly in the debate Sunday, but it will be nothing compared to the hand-to-hand combat happening in dozens of districts across the country. Our staff has been working virtually non-stop -- every DCCC staffer is working straight through the weekend on little to no sleep here in headquarters or out in the field. Just today, we filled ten buses with hundreds of people to get on the ground in 14 districts and we have more headed out tomorrow. These volunteers will join more than 10,000 volunteers across the country recruited by campaigns and the DCCC for this final weekend and Election Day.

I feel so damned guilty for just assuming that her symptoms were aging related.
Awww, how would you know?
I feel bad that we wasted weeks with Maxx on antibiotics, but his regular vet called me Thursday night and said it probably wouldn't have made any difference.
The tumor has probably been there for a long time- cats are notoriously stoic.
HIs specialist can't believe he's been eating all this time. He'll probably be astonished when I tell him what Maxx has been up to.
I had to practically sit on him to keep him from running out when the pizza delivery guy came this evening.

My surgeon in Houston said I'd need to take at least a week off, and I can't figure out when a good time in my schedule would be.
Because if I take off work, I want to do something fun, like go to Paris, or go hang out in Vegas with Sally, or go take pictures in NYC with Eli.

And that is a very, very, very good thing.
I liked hearing that it's possible as many as 8 senate seats may be in play.

But, of course, Incurious George and his maladministration wouldn't have wanted to know about any such study, nor would Darth Cheney have paid attention to it.
But, Colin Powell? Rummy? Certainly should have known.
Well, the line of rationalization in the Assministration would be that since the wargames were conducted in 1999, and the results were not what they wanted, that it was tainted by Clinton and therefore should be dismissed out of hand.
Which is why Shinseki got the immediate heave ho for daring to bring it up in a roundabout way before Congress.
You're right though, in the final analysis. Bush wanted a conventional war (as opposed to the limited action in Afghanistan) in the worst way, and was unwilling to let reality get in the way of his fantasy of being a "war time" Preznit.

IF Dems win, its going to be tough slogging against Fox News, Limpballs, Hannity, OReilly, 101st fighting keyboardists, Malkin, Coulter, etc.

If Dems lose, then the clock ticks. We may only have a few short years left to save our country from complete and total ruin.

Homer was blind. I don't think there's any way to know that. Homer was several centuries removed from classical civilization. The myth of his blindness first appeared when the greeks made poetry an olympic sport.

you'd be better off with Maugham and Orwell. As your young impressionable readers might take Kipling at face value as readers at that age often take Ayn Rand at face value.

Late to the party.
My surgery tale. Some years ago, I developed a really bad infection of a sebacious gland.
The part you could see on my back was as big as my fist.
Now, I found it uncomfortable at worst, which is why I didn't do anything about it for well over a month, figuring it would, like the much smaller infections in the past, it would just eventualy burst and drain.
So, after a month or so, I had it looked at.
I have outpatient surgery that same day.
(I'll spare you the details.)
Afterwards, I'm given a couple of Percocets and a script for more.
Because, "You're going to be in a lot of pain for the next few days."
I gotta tell you, I used plain old Ibuprofin for the pain, and saved the Percocet for when I went to bed. Not to kill the pain, but because they knocked me right out. Slept the sleep of the just and rightious, I did.
So, are people just all wimps these days and can't cope with even the slightest pain?

Letter from Mike Stark
Richmond Times-Dispatch
Tuesday, October 31, 2006
The following is a letter to NBC29 from Mike Stark, the man who was tackled for a comment he made at Senator Allen's campaign stop in Charlottesville on Tuesday.
My name is Mike Stark. I am a law student at the University of Virginia, a marine, and a citizen journalist. Earlier today at a public event, I was attempting to ask Senator Allen a question about his sealed divorce record and his arrest in the 1970s, both of which are in the public domain. His people assaulted me, put me in a headlock, and wrestled me to the ground. Video footage is available here, from an NBC affiliate.
I demand that Senator Allen fire the staffers who beat up a constituent attempting to use his constitutional right to petition his government. I also want to know why Senator Allen would want his staffers to assault someone asking questions about matters of public record in the heat of a political campaign. Why are his divorce records sealed? Why was he arrested in the 1970s? And why did his campaign batter me when I asked him about these questions.
George Allen defends his support of the Iraq war by saying that our troops are defending the ideals America stands for. Indeed, he says our troops are defending our very freedom. What kind of country is it when a Senator's constituent is assaulted for asking difficult and uncomfortable questions? What freedoms do we have left? Maybe we need to bring the troops home so that they can fight for freedom at George Allen's campaign events. Demanding accountability should not be an offense worthy of assault.
I will be pressing charges against George Allen and his surrogates later today. George Allen, at any time, could have stopped the fray. All he had to do was say, "This is not how my campaign is run. Take your hands off that man." He could have ignored my questions. Instead he and his thugs chose violence. I spent four years in the Marine Corps. I'll be damned if I'll let my country be taken from me by thugs that are afraid of taking responsibility for themselves.
It just isn't the America I know and love. Somebody needs to take a stand against those that would bully and intimidate their fellow citizens. That stand begins right here, right now.
Where is everyone tonight?

When rich people make too much money, and poor people make too little, social injustice is unacceptable.
After the 2006 Elections, at last Social Justice will prevail! Poor Democrats will take the reigns of power from Rich Republicans!

Right wing bloggers, as well as that incredible idiot, Sean Hannity, are fixating on the idea that the Kerry mini-flap will save their ass and allow the repugs to keep the house. Both continue to chew it over, five whole days after it happened. These guys have a favorite hobby - being continually pissed off. The official Fox News position is that the repugs will lose 12 seats, maybe 15 if they are unlucky. The right wing bloggers are so confident that they are telling each other stories about how we will keep the whole thing in the courts for months (since they are sure we will not take the house) with accusations of vote fraud.

Common Good is embodying one of the right's favorite straw men positions that all progressives are socialists.
Not that they understand what that means. They think it's the same as communist, but that it also includes social welfare like we have in every industrialized country in the world.

They did. My wife was laughing.
There are very few countries that level an income tax on their expats. (check out all the Brits that moved to Monaco or Switzerland) The US keeps such fine company as North Korea.
And the fact that the Busheviks raised taxes on ex-pats (I think Grassley was the instigator in Conference) makes them easy targets.
Even the American Chamber of Commerce here was cursing the Busheviks over this one. Busheviks = bad for business...
and no one worth their salt even trusts the economic numbers put out by the Bushevik departments. the political shit by the Busheviks is as bad as anything being done by the CCP.

Many miles away in a more dangerous place the dream is ending badly. The bodies pile up. Good people stream to the borders. Leaders pile money onto planes. The center is giving way.
The apartment on South Street in London is an antidote to Baghdad in nearly every respect. Where the Iraqi capital rings with chaos and violence, the sidewalks of Mayfair are quiet enough to hear your own voice above the cars. Baghdad is treeless and tan; the South Street apartment opens onto a private park filled with the lushness of an English garden. Just across the way is the Anglican church where General Eisenhower, stationed here as the commander of Allied forces during the war, came to pray. A maid greets you at the door, an elderly Lebanese woman who doubles as an Arabic teacher for the children. For Ahmad Chalabi, Iraq is an abstraction again. Once again, his native country is a faraway land ruled by somebody else, a place where other people die. It’s a place to be discussed, rued, plotted over, from a parlor on an expensive Western street. Iraq’s new leaders, the men who excluded Chalabi from the government they formed this spring, still call for advice — several times a day, Chalabi says. He is here in London, his longtime home in exile, temporarily, he says, taking his first vacation in five years.
this says it all, the wheels are a gonna come off, and the lid is about to blow...Bagdad, is about to become slaughtersville... that Chalabi is just taking a vacation is just blowing smoke up everyones kister...he left and you can bet the mortgage money, that dam near every dinar in Iraq left with him, because he knew that what was coming down the pike...

Saddam verdict. I have a feeling it won't play the way the creepers think it will.
As for me, if asked I plan to say something on the order of: "Yes, Saddam is a really bad guy, which is why we didn't like it when Rumsfeld and Reagan/Bush were so buddy-buddy with him in the eighties. Maybe now we can invade some other countries, wreck them, turn their populations against us, create new havens for terrorists, further deplete our military, and make America even less safe--all so we can hang another bad guy. Maybe we can hurry up and get that done so we can get to work on finding bin Ladin, who is kind of a bad guy too."

i>Oil, Cash and Corruption
Mr. Nazarbayev as a dictator who, during 15 years of rule, established a hammerlock on his country’s oil riches and amassed a fortune at the expense of an impoverished citizenry. Supporters say he has wedded a draconian political order to clear-eyed economic policies, making his country hospitable to foreign investment.
In February, the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan is scheduled to go to trial in the largest foreign bribery case brought against an American citizen. It involves a labyrinthine trail of international financial transfers, suspected money laundering and a dizzying array of domestic and overseas shell corporations.
The case also illustrates the government’s struggle to reconcile its short-term energy interests with its longer-term political goal of encouraging democracy in countries the international community has deemed corrupt.
To be sure, many an American president has entertained a foreign leader under a cloud of suspicion, but Mr. Nazarbayev’s role in a federal criminal investigation makes him an unusual entry into that company. Bush administration officials have acknowledged that the Kazakh government falls short in its democracy-building efforts. But some foreign policy specialists see Kazakhstan as an important ally in the administration’s campaign against terrorism and a bountiful alternative to oil reserves in the volatile Persian Gulf

1999 war games foresaw problems in Iraq By JOHN HEILPRIN, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 32 minutes ago
The U.S. government conducted a series of secret war games in 1999 that anticipated an invasion of Iraq would require 400,000 troops, and even then chaos might ensue.
In its "Desert Crossing" games, 70 military, diplomatic and intelligence officials assumed the high troop levels would be needed to keep order, seal borders and take care of other security needs.
The documents came to light Saturday through a Freedom of Information Act request by the George Washington University's National Security Archive, an independent research institute and library.
"The conventional wisdom is the U.S. mistake in Iraq was not enough troops," said Thomas Blanton, the archive's director. "But the Desert Crossing war game in 1999 suggests we would have ended up with a failed state even with 400,000 troops on the ground."
There are currently about 144,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, down from a peak of about 160,000 in January.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Central Command, which sponsored the seminar and declassified the secret report in 2004, declined to comment Saturday because she was not familiar with the documents.
The war games looked at "worst case" and "most likely" scenarios after a war that removed then-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein from power. Some are similar to what actually occurred after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003:
_"A change in regimes does not guarantee stability," the 1999 seminar briefings said. "A number of factors including aggressive neighbors, fragmentation along religious and/or ethnic lines, and chaos created by rival forces bidding for power could adversely affect regional stability."
_"Even when civil order is restored and borders are secured, the replacement regime could be problematic — especially if perceived as weak, a puppet, or out-of-step with prevailing regional governments."
_"Iran's anti-Americanism could be enflamed by a U.S.-led intervention in Iraq," the briefings read. "The influx of U.S. and other western forces into Iraq would exacerbate worries in Tehran, as would the installation of a pro-western government in Baghdad."
_"The debate on post-Saddam Iraq also reveals the paucity of information about the potential and capabilities of the external Iraqi opposition groups. The lack of intelligence concerning their roles hampers U.S. policy development."
_"Also, some participants believe that no Arab government will welcome the kind of lengthy U.S. presence that would be required to install and sustain a democratic government."

nice read Tom, even tho it looks like the WH has given up on convincing the rational 67%, they seem to think they can keep the truly retarded firmly on board by the usual histrionics.
'As he barnstorms across the country campaigning for Republican candidates in Tuesday's elections, Bush has been citing oil as a reason to stay in Iraq. If the United States pulled its troops out prematurely and surrendered the country to insurgents, he warns audiences, it would effectively hand over Iraq's considerable petroleum reserves to terrorists who would use it as a weapon against other countries.'
Poor people are only poor because they lack the capital to build upon their poor plans.
If we take wealth away from wealthy people and give it to poor people, then the poor people will show us all how brilliantly they can deploy the wealth to build an egalitarian peoples paradise!

Answering a question with a question, eh? I agree with others here:I don't think this will influence anyone to change their vote. It's a moot point. And at the best all you or I could go on is speculation re:timing and motives. I'm not saying that it couldn't be so, just that if I make that claim I only have my feelings and opinions to support.
Now on answering the question if Saddam Hussien commited mass murder, their has been testimony and evidence presented. So it's a concrete materially based question - and it's not a trick one - to ask if you don't believe he is guilty is mass murder of Iraqis. It's just a simple question of - what say ye: "guilty?" or "not guilty?". (Or even "I don't know")
Just curious on that specific question, Tom, not a "gotcha" at all.

'Because empirical evidence shows that poor people handle loaned money much better, more productively, and more efficiently than rich people.
Tom - 大肚腩 '
Actually, that's why loan sharking is such a profitable business. Getting people into an economic situation where they have to borrow to handle, say, health problems, charging usorious interest rates, they keep coming in every week and paying off those loans. Growth industry here in flyover country is Rent-to-Own, because on the pretext it's a rental, interest rates can go over the legal limit of 30% or more, into the hundreds of %'s.

It really sucks to live in the USA, where there is such an income disparity between the ultrarich and everybody else!
It would be much better if everybody in the USA had exactly the same wealth and the same income!
Then, when I go to the frozen yogurt place, I wouldn't have to feel like I had to size-up the other people in line.
Tonight, I saw a guy ordering a double chocolate cup, and I JUST KNEW he earns more than me, and it really pissed me off!!
I can't stand that kind of income disparity, and I vow to vote Democratic to bring down those smug rich dickheads who lord it all over me.

No. In fact it would be better if our government encourages more economic stratification until less than 5% of the country is economically secure while the rest are barely able to buy food and pay their rent. That way a tipping point will have been reached and we'll all storm their mansions and put their larded necks in guillotines.

it's especially hard to live up to the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels if you're desperately trying to drown out the voice of reason, 'tenderly, gently calling'.
on oil:
Ritter and Hersh conversing about China's agreement with Iran to get $250B over 10 years in oil which the Chinese gov't is not about to let us endanger.
and
'"They're a minor exporter," said Edward Morse, managing director and chief energy economist at Lehman Brothers. "They have potential to be a greater exporter. But it's ludicrous to suggest someone could hold the world hostage by withholding oil from the market, especially a regime that needs money."
Disruptions of oil supplies certainly affect the markets, but not as drastically as Bush suggested, Morse said. He noted that Venezuela's capacity has fallen by 1 million barrels a day since President Hugo Chavez came to power there and yet it has not given him any geopolitical leverage over the United States even though he is an avowed Bush foe. But Morse agreed that Iran, for example, could "play mischief" because it already effectively controls much of Iraqi oil in the southern part of the country.'

The problem there, Diane, is that Jesus said not "a jot or tittle" ( comparable to a dot over an "i" or cross in a "T") of that Law will ever change. The requirements, justice, the whole ball of wax of the Pentateuch.
Jesus also taught about Hell, Hellfire, everlasting punishment, etc. What do we do with all that?

Lots of views of hell, none of them limited to Jehovah's Witnesses, so far as I know.
Precious few of them Biblical, either. The "lake of fire" image comes from Revelation (which is not the Gospels). Most of the imagery is medieval, in fact. Several centuries after the gospels, IOW.

so, Saddam hangs. Can't wait for the live video feed. Maybe they'll frame the photo with a nice gold rococo frame and show it around, like they did with Zarqawi.

There is an automatic appeal process. Figure that to take 2 years or so. I'd guess first week of November 2008 would be a likely date for a hanging.

Furthermore, Mr. Hussein, along with six other defendants, is also being tried in a separate case in which they face charges of killing at least 50,000 people in the so-called Anfal military campaign in 1987 and 1988 in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq. Prosecutors are preparing numerous other cases against Mr. Hussein, and the tribunal may decide to try him on some or all of the additional charges if it wants to create a full record of the former leader’s crimes.

Milton, ironically, since he was a Puritan, hence virulently anti-RC.
Dante's vision was a metaphor, which is what his audience understood. Same for Revelation, but Milton took it too literally (as did many before him).

Doesn't look like the hanging is going to take place anytime soon:
Supposedly, whenever the appeal process for this first conviction is complete, sentence must be carried out within thirty days, whether or not the "gassing the Kurds" trial is complete.
Of course if the Bush administration has infused its fledgling Iraqi democracy with its own sense of commitment to the rule of law, well... any fucking thing could happen.

The Europeans sort of view the US election as incredibly important for
the future of civilization as well as some sort of Special Electoral Olympics for the retarded.
They also view the US slide to Fascism as predictable. For instance, needing permission from some totally secretive governmental agency to leave the country does not amuse them.

Saw on the tv that the appeals process could take only a few months. But you've got the second trial, which started in August. I don't think he's being hanged anytime soon, they're not done putting him on trial.

Yes, Rmj, much of the common Christian imagery of Hell comes from Milton as much as anywhere else.
I think what could've best be extroplated from Milton on "Hell" is the quote:
"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven."

Tony Snow praising a judiciary that conducts itself fairly and openly......
Washington Post:
The trial -- often punctuated by outbursts and other antics from Hussein and his seven co-defendants -- was disparaged by some as a political show and victor's vendetta and hailed by others as a historic symbol of Iraq's fledgling democracy. The first chief judge quit, complaining of political interference in the case, and gunmen killed three defense attorneys during the trial. Many legal experts questioned the trial's fairness, saying Iraq's justice system was not equipped to handle such a significant case, and that it should have been held in a third country.
Today's session began with the eviction of former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark for insulting the tribunal as "a mockery of justice" in a memo he sent to Chief Judge Abdel-Rahman, a no-nonsense jurist with a perpetual scowl who ran a tight courtroom. "This statement presented by the American lawyer Ramsey Clarke -- how would I describe it? I don't know. He presented a statement ridiculing himself, not the country. He's a laughing stock. Get him out of the court."
"Out! Out!" Abdel-Rahman yelled in English when the exit seemed too slow.
