Hello, everyone, on this snowy Saturday evening.
May I just say, for the first time in more than 40 years, Iowans have voted in a Dem majority in both houses of our state legislature and a Democratic governor. Gov. Culver took office this week, as the chief justice of our state supreme court, who for the first time is a woman, used her speech to discuss the need for more advocates for children who enter the judicial/foster care system.
This is what's going on in the heartland -- we're sick of Republican corruption, hate, greed, and stupidity, and we're changing the landscape by voting in Democratic values and policies.

Fuck it, we should do as my first wife did with some friends and buy an old school bus!
The deployment of a second carrier strike group to the theater -- confirmed in the speech -- is clearly directed against Iran. Since, in contrast to previous U.S. air campaigns in the Gulf, military planners developing contingencies for striking target sets in Iran must assume that the United States would not be able to use land-based air assets in theater (because of political opposition in the region), they are surely positing a force posture of at least two, and possible three carrier strike groups to provide the necessary numbers and variety of tactical aircraft.
Similarly, the President's announcement that additional Patriot batteries would go to the Gulf is clearly directed against Iran. We have previously deployed Patriot batteries to the region to deal with the Iraqi SCUD threat. Today, the only missile threat in the region for the Patriot to address is posed, at least theoretically, by Iran's Shihab-3.
but by all means, let's pretend we are not about to start a War Against Iran.

"As C&L says, people need to speak out about this:
Sen. Joe Lieberman, the only Democrat to endorse President Bush’s new plan for Iraq, has quietly backed away from his pre-election demands that the White House turn over potentially embarrassing documents relating to its handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans. Senator Joe Lieberman has just taken the very surprising step of revealing to Newsweek that he will not use his chairmanship on the Homeland Security committee to aggressively probe the government's catastrophic failings in the wake of Hurricane Katrina."

Okay dinner has arrived.
the Saints are gonna beat up on the Iggles arent they?
Yes, then Philly will.
my theory (the theory that is mine) about the campaign against iran is derived from the strenuous measure that Polk took in 1846 to try to push Mexico into taking the first shot in the war that Polk wanted. (Eventually, he just lied about it so that he could go ahead and "retaliate" against "mexican agression")
even chimpster knows that he can't repeat the WMD storyline one more time. Therefore, he is trying to pull a Polk, that is, to provoke iran as much as he can to try to get them to fire a shot at an american ship or to shoot some missiles at, preferably, israel. This would account for the UN embargo, the carrier missions in the ocean off the coast or iran, and the invasion of the iranian consulate in iraq.
i would look for more and more provocations against iran in the coming months, but i tend also to think that iran will, like mexico in 1846, be determined to not be drawn in

Mr Bush challenged opponents for ideas, not just criticism
President Bush has hit back at critics of his revised plan for Iraq, which includes sending 21,500 extra troops.
In his weekly radio address Mr Bush said members of Congress had a right to their views, but to oppose everything and propose nothing was irresponsible."

"Even Peggy Noonan Hits Bush on New War Plan
By E&P Staff
Published: January 13, 2007 11:55 AM Et
NEW YORK It's come to this for President Bush: Even Peggy Noonan has turned against him on the war, and in a withering fashion.
Noonan, one of the strongest advocates of the war for years, offered a frank attack on the president's current strategy in the Wall Street Journal. It's available in full at Opinion Journal online, but here is how it opens.
I had the odd and wholly unexpected experience of feeling supportive of a troop increase until I saw the president's speech arguing for it. What a jarring, furtive-seeming thing it was.
Surely the Iraq endeavor and those who've fought in it and put their hopes in it deserve more than collapse, withdrawal and calamity. But . . . 20,000 more troops, who'll start to arrive over the next few months, and we'll press the Iraqi government to be tougher? A young journalist who is generally supportive of the president said, "So this is it? The grand strategy is to repeat a strategy they weren't able to execute the first time they tried it?""

Tony Blair has promised more cash to improve conditions for the armed forces as he admitted soldiers deserved better.
The Prime Minister's pledge came as he insisted that Britain must maintain its status as a major defence power and warned against any retreat from fighting wars.
Speaking aboard HMS Albion in Plymouth, he said that military might was essential to winning the war on terror as he tried to rally increasingly sceptical troops.
But he acknowledged that the "covenant" with the forces had to be renewed as soldiers were asked to undertake unprecedented challenges in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"For our part, in Government, it will mean increased expenditure on equipment, personnel and the conditions of our Armed Forces - not in the short run, but for the long term," he said.
"On the part of the military, they need to accept that in a volunteer armed force, conflict and therefore casualty may be part of what they are called upon to face."

Russia has agreed to slash duty it will charge Belarus for crude oil, ending a damaging row between the two states.
Belarus will now pay $53 a tonne for oil it imports, instead of the $180 Russia had previously demanded, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov said.
It will also share with Russia profits from the refined oil products it exports to other countries.
Disputes between the two states led to Russia halting the flow of oil through Belarus to elsewhere in Europe.

Bolivia's President, Evo Morales, has held an emergency cabinet meeting to try to tackle the violence that has rocked the city of Cochabamba.
At least two people have been killed and hundreds injured in the clashes.
The city is calmer now, with the military guarding the airport, bridges and key buildings.
But the conflict - between supporters of the local governor and coca leaf growers who back the president - is by no means over.

Tunisian police have found plans of embassies and explosives after a gun battle with suspected Islamic extremists, the interior minister says.
A list of names of foreign diplomats in the country was also discovered after the 3 January clash in which 12 gunmen were killed, said Rafik Haj Kacem.
The men were "terrorists" who had entered from Algeria, Mr Kacem said, according to official news agency Tap.
Police have announced the arrest of 15 men following the encounter.
Mr Kacem described the men as "Salafist terrorists" - a reference to the Algerian Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, a radical group opposed to Western which aims to create an Islamic state in Algeria.

Tucker Carlson is out of control:
It all started with a simple video rental. Who knows where it will end?
Potomac Video store clerk Charles Williamson, 28, posted a message on his blog, Freelance Genius, Dec. 23 that described how he set up a movie rental account for MSNBC host Tucker Carlson at the MacArthur Boulevard store the day before.
"I could tell you what he and his ridiculously wasped-out female companion (wife?) rented if you really want to know," he wrote. "I won't tell you where he lives, though. That would be wrong and stupid." Williamson also joked that he wouldn't send 10,000 copies of Jon Stewart's best-selling political satire, "America (The Book)," to Carlson's home; Stewart ridiculed Carlson on "Crossfire" before the 2004 election.
A week later, Williamson had forgotten all about it, he told us yesterday. That is, until Carlson, 37, reappeared at the video store and, said Williamson, "got pretty aggressive." According to Williamson, Carlson confronted him about the blog and said he viewed the post as a threat to him and his wife. "He said, 'If you keep this [expletive] up, I will [expletive] destroy you,' " Williamson recalled.
Williamson said he agreed to remove the blog post and did so later that night: "All I remember thinking was I was worried about what this guy was going to do." He consulted a lawyer friend and was told he had probably not broken any laws. "What I said was pretty juvenile, I'll admit," he said.
In a phone interview Thursday, Carlson acknowledged that he approached Williamson in the store and said he was "very aggressive" because he wanted the post removed: "I don't like to call the police or call his boss. . . . I'm a libertarian. I'm not into that."
On Monday, Williamson said, his Potomac Video manager called and fired him. Williamson said he was told the company was threatened with legal action "and the owner doesn't like that." He re-posted the original Carlson item later that day. Williamson said he later learned that a man who identified himself as a lawyer for Carlson had been in the store and asked Potomac Video employees questions about him.
Empanadas can be mind-blowing, or they can be doughy, greasy shit.

There's a place like that in Covington KY.

Anyone thinking of moving to Portland should look at maps like this and avoid living in the dark orange and red areas. They're the hilly, trendy neighborhoods with very expensive houses and fabulous views.
Argentinian Beef, that's the ticket.
Argentina has the highest per capita beef consumption in the world. Also the high per capita number of psychiatrists. Go figure.
Are comments filling up faster than ever? Dammit, I can't keep up.
The doctors don't expect him to live more than a couple of weeks at most.
I'm sorry. That's so sad.
If Tucker Carlson hadn't already earned a spot in the Duck Pit through his asshattery, the video store incident has most definitely sealed the deal.
Can anyone be more assholish than this?
Damn you spinoza!
Jennifer, I'm sorry; losing a friend is difficult.
Thunderbay is gorgeous, but fucking cold for far too many parts of the year.

Either it's mad cow or they need all the shrinks to deal with the Peronista nightmares.
so, i'm watching the cats. i know they have short lives by human standards, but they just woke up from their daytime sleeping places, got some supper and some pets, took their dumps, and have assumed their evening sleeping places.
doesn't seem like a bad deal to me.

CARACAS (Reuters) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Saturday the country's entire energy sector had to be nationalized, reinforcing his socialist revolution and possibly giving himself more targets for state take-over.
But he said he would permit foreign firms to hold minority stakes in energy deals.
The anti-U.S. leader, in power since 1999, this week announced he would nationalize power utilities and the country's biggest telecommunications firm, confirming his status as the catalyst of Latin America's swing to the left.
"We have decided to nationalize the whole Venezuelan energy and electricity sector, all of it, absolutely all," Chavez said in his annual state of the nation address to parliament, potentially opening up more projects for state acquisition in the No. 4 crude exporter to the United States.

I went to Thunder Bay for spring break my senior year in HS.
Saw a restaurant called Mr. Chinese.
They day I got back from Nam I got plastered on Wild Turkey and decided to send 20,000 more troops to Iraq.

So?
Argentinian food is good if you like beef.
Tucker Carlson is a talentless, dangerously authoritarian turd.
The important question is...
What kind of snuff-film porn do Tucker and his wife rent?
Why must I live in a country where a Britney Spears gets paid $400,000 to show up at a Las Vegas New Years Eve party, and my local FM radio station has to beg for $$$$ to keep the Saturday afternoon Metropolitan Opera broadcasts going? Why?
Okay, dinner awaits.
Be nice.
Isabel Perón arrested over accusations of human rights abuses
· Ex-Argentinian president detained in Spain
· Repeal of amnesty laws paved way for court move
Isabel Perón, the former Argentinian president and widow of the caudillo Juan Perón, was arrested at her home in Madrid last night after a judge in her home country launched an investigation into alleged human rights abuses during her tumultuous rule in the 1970s.
Police acted on an international arrest warrant issued by the judge, Raul Acosta. Ms Perón was driven to court last night and bailed pending an extradition request expected to follow by the end of February. Judge Acosta wants her extradited to Argentina to face questions about dissident killings during her 20-month rule.

Na, that movie hadn't come out yet.
I'm headed back to Argentina in mid-March... I still dream about the empanadas at the Park Hyatt.
I also dream about the goat-roast at one of the wineries... more correctly, I dream about the flash-flood it induced in my southern hemisphere.
But Mendoza is very, very nice... haven't been to Buenos Aires.
The Argentine peso is monopoly-money... three to the dollar. They use a $ sign, so you look at prices and think "Wow, that's a little expensive." Then you divide by three. "Oh... never mind."
i don't like going to places without a decent bathroom.

Me neither. I counsel everyone whilst travelling to locate the local library or museum and, cheerfully, hand over the admissions fee in order to avail oneself of the toities. They are clean, tidy and redd up. Also, you may discover unexpectedly interesting information afterward, touring the museum.

Thunder Bay had a different name when the music dude from Letterman was a kid. What was it?
To tell about Tucker's porn fetish would violate the federal Bork Law.
you all have a wonderful afternoon/evening.

I work with two Argentinians.
An odd ratio given the small size of the work force, less than 20.

Crazy-good produce in-country, too.
The wines are right nice, too... the reds in particular... Malbec and Bonarda at the head of the class. The whites are still finding their way... Torrontes can be very nice.

India and Pakistan have confirmed that the peace process between the two countries has resumed.
India's Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee has been meeting Pakistani officials in Islamabad, including President Pervez Musharraf.
After their meeting, Mr Musharraf said conditions were good to "resolve outstanding issues" between the two neighbours, including divided Kashmir.
The two sides have agreed to hold another round of talks in March.

The equivalent of fifty cents on a glass of red wine in Florence, from a cart on the sidewalk outside I Tarocchi!
But I gotta say that clerk's boss sounds like a real chickenshit.

Dear Jennifer,
I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending good vibes to you and your friends.
Ladies and Gentlemen, if Boromir asks for a lift tell 'im no.
Billy Mays creeps me out.
Also, you may discover unexpectedly interesting information afterward, touring the museum.
Okay, here's a question for a lazy Saturday evening:
What is the absolute best museum you've ever been to, and why?
I remember staying in a bare bones but nice, clean, and centrally-located pensionne in Florence for a mere $8 per night...it was the Pensionne Esperanza on Via del Inferno, Dante's home street....Hope Hotel on Hell Street....it wasn't there anymore when I went back in '99.

When on the Med. tour, the price of hookers was more the topic.

Yes. It's on Lake Superior, about thirty miles north of the border from Minnesota.

Chicago's Art Institute, is it? It was a Free Day, and I had no idea what their collection was like.
I'm headed back to Argentina in mid-March.
Can I have your job when you get tired of it?
Ladies and Gentlemen, if Boromir asks for a lift tell 'im no.
I hate that Sean Bean gets cast as a bad guy 9 out of 10 times.
I even watched the execrable Flight Plan to see him play a semi-good guy.

Not surprised, but I just caught this over at Sully's:
Sources among the heroic community of pro bono lawyers who are defending some of the innocent and some of the guilty at Gitmo tell me that Stimson's comments are not isolated, that there has been a full program dedicated to the harassment of Gitmo lawyers - surveillance, pettty harassment, pressure on their law firms
Fuckers. Goddamn them.

See is so lonely.
She has no fun around the house like the other pets do. She hates the dogs and Little Julie.
I'm the only animal she is not afraid of. She will really hurt anyone that makes her feel cornered, split Eddys' ear.
Must take her on a walk tonite.
She likes that.

IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM ROCKS!
'Cause I had a backstage pass!
I liked Flight Plan cause the plane does not exist in reality.
T. Voltaire's plans for hos new iPood:
- classical music, mostly Bach and before, Liszt and after
- extensive early jazz from 1916 - 1942

- old-timey country recordings from the 20's and 30's
- some folk music from ireland and bulgaria, also klezmer klassix

Well, the Met and Louvre don't exactly suck, but speaking of Florence, the most underappreciated museum I know of it the Museo Del Opera Del Duomo. That place totally rocks.
I also got talked into going into the science museum in Florence and loved it. That's where I got the picture of Galilleo finger's on my blog.
Move the fun game, hunky!
Well, yes, agave, but I don't know that I catch your drift. I mean, yes, I am entirely bonkers, but I don't quite see how my advice concerning clean and wholesome toities ties into that - nor the fact that my Mummy was a Librarian. You see, she was a Senior Librarian, which gave her the key to all 60 branches of the LAPL - which meant anywhere we went thruout the whole city, if we needed to, we could nip into a library and take care of ourselves - even if it was Sunday. Very handy it was.
However. That was a very long time ago.
