from a few threads below:
In each case, the companies under investigation have links to prominent GOP figures, including Vice President Dick Cheney, former Vice President Dan Quayle, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and several Republican Congressmen indicted for corruption involving kickbacks from defense contractors. The Republican Congressional Campaign Commitee (RCCC) has also received substantial contributions from conservative fund managers running Cerberus, a virually unregulated $30 billion hedge fund, which owns the second largest bank in Israel.
This scandal involves the mismanagement of VA hospital facilities privatized during the Bush-Cheney Administration, as well as intelligence abuses by private CIA contractors.

the sickening feeling we had the moment of the SCOTUS' anti-Constitution action, and the flood of the most despicable vile people imaginable laying their hands on the reigns of US power was true and real and strong and persistent to this day.

Tomorrow's New York Times lead editorial:
During the hearing on his nomination as attorney general, Alberto Gonzales said he understood the difference between the job he held — President Bush’s in-house lawyer — and the job he wanted, which was to represent all Americans as their chief law enforcement officer and a key defender of the Constitution. Two years later, it is obvious Mr. Gonzales does not have a clue about the difference.
He has never stopped being consigliere to Mr. Bush’s imperial presidency. If anyone, outside Mr. Bush’s rapidly shrinking circle of enablers, still had doubts about that, the events of last week should have erased them....
We opposed Mr. Gonzales’s nomination as attorney general. His résumé was weak, centered around producing legal briefs for Mr. Bush that assured him that the law said what he wanted it to say. More than anyone in the administration, except perhaps Vice President Dick Cheney, Mr. Gonzales symbolizes Mr. Bush’s disdain for the separation of powers, civil liberties and the rule of law.
On Thursday, Senator Arlen Specter, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, hinted very obliquely that perhaps Mr. Gonzales’s time was up. We’re not going to be oblique. Mr. Bush should dismiss Mr. Gonzales and finally appoint an attorney general who will use the job to enforce the law and defend the Constitution.
From the prosecutor purge to warrantless surveillance to civil rights to torture, the NYT delineates the travesties that have served for justice under Gonzales's watch. They're conclusion is what we all knew from the moment he was nominated to be Attorney General: not only was he marginally qualified for the position, his slavish devotion to this president and his willingness to subvert every principle upon which this nation was founded to serve that president made him an extremely dangerous choice for that position.
By all means, Bush should force Gonzales's resignation. That is not about to happen, so this Congress must be prepared to impeach this Attorney General.

FRANK RICH AND I CONCUR
Excerpts from Rich's column:
Either way, the pardon is a must for Bush. He needs Libby to keep his mouth shut. Cheney's Cheney knows too much about covert administration schemes far darker than the smearing of Joseph Wilson. Though Libby wrote a novel that sank without a trace a decade ago, he now has the makings of an explosive Washington tell-all that could be stranger than most fiction and far more salable.
Libby's novel was called "The Apprentice." His memoir could be titled "The Accomplice." Its first chapter would open in August 2002, when he and a small cadre of administration officials including Karl Rove formed the White House Iraq Group (WHIG), a secret task force to sell the Iraq war to the American people. The climactic chapter of the Libby saga unfolded last week when the guilty verdict in his trial coincided, all too fittingly, with the congressional appearance of two Iraq veterans, one without an ear and one without an eye, to recount their subhuman treatment at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
It was WHIG's secret machinations more than four years ago that led directly to those shredded lives. WHIG had been tasked, as The Washington Post would later uncover, to portray Iraq's supposedly imminent threat to America with "gripping images and stories not available in the hedged and austere language of intelligence." In other words, WHIG was to cook up the sexiest recipe for promoting the war, facts be damned. So it did, by hyping the scariest possible scenario: nuclear apocalypse.
What Libby did -- fabricating nuclear threats at WHIG and then lying under oath when he feared that sordid Pandora's box might be pried open by the Wilson case -- was despicable. Had there been no WHIG or other White House operation for drumming up fictional rationales for war, there would have been no bogus uranium from Africa in a presidential speech, no leak to commit perjury about, no amputees to shut away in filthy rooms at Walter Reed.

Cally makes up to Sharon through the magic of slavery; Karl shows Lee why his father cannot save him from his destiny as a bottom; Tori gets Six to talk through eightiesish dancercizing-become-grappling; and Gaius finally goes over Felix's equations. The BSG Episode That Is As If It Had Been Written and Directed by Edward D. Wood Junior. You know you want to see this too. The oracle is replaced by a Criswell impersonator. Cuddling Agathons
As Karl and Sharon absent-mindedly grope eachother and mewl in bed, they sleepily discuss how while both Bush and Harper are assholes, they are the same, and yet different. Meant to compete with the Daily Show. Dalek Crossover Commercial
As Six exits a broom closet, a Dalek shame-facedly follows. Six turns and assures the superior being: "I'll .. call some time. ... At worst I'll change your batteries in four hundred years." She glides out and the Dalek lowers his sucker dejectedly.

War, if you can call it that, promoted and executed on lies and piss poor, cherry picked data.
Dismissal of tried and true military men who provided excellent counsel and have proven to be correct.
No plan after initial "pre-emptive" attack.
Poor provisioning of military including body armor and up armored vehicles.
Still no plan for resolution, tap dancing and tossing good troops into harm's way for the hell of it is not a plan.
Budgeting, over reaches but seems to not put materials into the hands of the troops correctly.
Civilian contractors Gone Wild!. No accountability and metrics. Missing billions of dollars.

You do nothing for the "war effort", nothing but sit on your cowardly ass and count the dead and wounded, all the while hoping W cuts more money from the vet hospitals so they can suffer even more, and you can get $.75 more back in taxes. Now go back to cowering under your bed, you pussy coward freak. You're no kind of American; anybody that supports this war and this asshole in the White House should leave immediately and renounce their citizenship. And don't forget: 2/3 of the American people know that you're dead wrong.

General: Conservatives Are ‘Absolutely The Worst Thing That’s Happened’ To The U.S. Military
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton, who was in charge of training the Iraqi military from 2003 to 2004, appeared last night on HBO’s Bill Maher Show.
...
Eaton lamented that so many service members believe that conservatives “are good for the military.” “That is rarely the case. And we have got to get a message through to every soldier, every family member, every friend of soldier,” that the Bush administration and its allies in Congress have “absolutely been the worst thing that’s happened to the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps.” http://thinkprogress.org/2007/03...eaton-military/

Seriously...
It is the wet dream of many left wing types that US soldiers be shamed and humilated in Iraq and that they come to later regret that they were ignorant, racist, babykillers.
Deny it if you want... but I've seen a few movies and read some books by hippie types about Vietnam Veterans. They tend to like to show them breaking down in tears over their terribly unjust actions against the heroic People's Glorious War of Liberation from the Evil White Oppressors.
I am careful to say that some left wing types do this, bacause they hate the troops. And it's totally true. Other people are driven leftward by a fanatical hatred of the right wing, which is a point of view I can understand.
But the best most hippies can manage is to pity GI's. I suppose they don't want to go to the extreme of openly attacking these guys, so they adopt the extremely patronizing position of feeling sorry for them for being "used" by the government. As if they are stupid and helpless victims. And we all know how liberals love their victim schtick. This is why they are so supportive of funding for veterans benefits. Well, I'll take it. But it's still very condescending.
Of course liberals will deny this and say it is all completely untrue... no leftist ever said such things... because liberals are all knowing and all wise. They are not capable of ever being unfair or prejudiced. They do not possess the same flaws as the people they are so critical of. They're above all that. Right. I guess Jane Fonda was a right wing mole or something.
Almost everyone is sick of Bush by now. But there are still quite a few people who hate hippies more than they hate Bush. Face it, Bush's ability to win elections at all was based on the fact that alot of people out there are sick of people like Noam Chomsky lecturing them. While people may being coming to the awful realiziation that Bush and the neo-cons are even worse than Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow Coalition types, that doesn't mean they like you people. They can't fucking stand you bastards.
Some might point to Jim Webb, Jon Tester, Russ Feingold, Jack Murtha and others and insist that the hippy label doesn't apply to many Democrats. True enough. That's I vote Democrat at the moment. But those guys don't hang out here. Hippies hang out here. This is a hard core left wing site, filled with troop hating pacifists, man hating feminists, and white hating "civil rights" types. They pop off all the time about the evils of the white man and the US imperial captialists and none of you say shit about it. You embrace that crap here. That is why I troll. It is why I will go on trolling.
I don't like Bush either. Can't fucking stand the guy. But I never stopped hating you people. And before anyone says a fucking word about it, I just want a show of hands of the people who spoke out against the Naderites who attacked Gore in 2000 for being too conservative. Fucking idiot liberals.

The 'Surge' Is Succeeding
By Robert Kagan

Pacifists and feminists are neither troop-hating or man-hating, just scary to you black-and-white thinkers (and I use that term loosely).

The dean:
Anita Dunn, a Democratic strategist, said Edwards is running "a very different kind of campaign this time, with a very different moral compass." The differences, she added, are likely to draw scrutiny from his rivals in the primaries.
Steve Elmendorf, who managed Democrat Richard A. Gephardt's 2004 presidential campaign, said the changes could give rise to questions of authenticity. "His challenge is to show that, if he is different, experience caused him to change where he is," Elmendorf said. http://www.washingtonpost.com/

Yes, but you would need to be much more specific as to what you are seeking.
Laws can not be retroactive if they punish.

there is a bill in illinois that specifies that women whose children are taken for adoption must supply a full medical history to the adopted person on demand.
the buzz i am hearing is that women who lost their children 40 years ago can be sued if they can't supply the data.
isn't that against hippa laws, for one?

Late 80s, I'm in a battle of the bands at my high school. We show up piss drunk and stagger through some Who and Stones tunes and congratulate ourselves for being rock and roll rebels.
Band after us rips into Too Drunk to Fuck by the Dead Kennedys and gets their plug pulled before the first chorus. Lights and curtains came down, the whole deal.

Admittedly, Kenny G fans make Yes fans look pretty sophisticated. And the white guys in Yes can play their asses off, although they seem to want to avoid that. Kenny Gorelick, on the other hand, plays with his ass.

Despite all the high secrecy surrounding the briefing, a half-dozen different family members were so horrified by voice evidence of the airlines’ disregard for the fate of their pilots, crew and passengers that they found ways to reveal some of what they heard on those tapes, and also what they felt. To them, the tapes appeared to show that the first instinct of American and United Airlines, as management learned of the gathering horror aboard their passenger planes on Sept. 11, was to cover up.

Kenny G sucks, and has always sucked. He plays like George Bush speaks; endless nonsense without a lick of sense. He was, at best, adequate in the early days, running with a not-very-fast crowd. I have the great fortune to have played over the years with the very best saxophonists in the world, and Kenny G is not well thought of.

I saw Seger a number of years ago when he put out an album called "It's a Mystery". It was aptly titled because it was a mystery why Bob even bothered. The concert was actually dull. The crowd was into it, but Bob and the band just went through the motions. A rather disappointing evening.

Let's see now. RonJazz hates Yes, loves Stevie Wonder and hates Kenny G.
I don't like Kenny G either, but Ronjazz must really be Maude Finley. If it's black, it must be cool. You know, like Jello Biafra said in "Holiday in Cambodia": "'Cause the slums got so much soul..." Can't wait for Ronjazz to tell us about the "brilliance" of the O'Jays (shudder).
Ronjazz may know the difference between a major and diminished chord, but he also fits Woody Allen's definition of an intellectual: Someone who may be brilliant, but has no idea what the hell is going on.
Chet Thompson, the band members of Weather Report, and other jazzers during the 1970s understood progressive rock groups like Gentle Giant, King Crimson, early Genesis and Yes. Too bad Ronjazz and most rock critics didn't--and don't.

In general, the rule against retroactivity applies to crimes. That is, if it wasn't a crime when you did it, they can't make it illegal, and then bust you for having done it back in the day.
BUT. That's not the same situation as unlocking records from days past. Here you are talking about instituting rules today, which apply today. An example might be: You bought a house in say 1983 and no annual land tax was payable then. In 1997, the Govt applies a tax. The fact that you bought before the tax started is no "defence". You have to pay it from now on...
Having said that, your best defence is found in the law of in contract (or quasi-contract) - you agreed to do certain things, on certain terms. They can't unilaterally change the terms without your agreement. As far as I'm concerned, if anonmity was a condition, that's the end of the story.

that sounds reasonable to me.
the people who are pushing this law are the same people who have sopent the last twenty years pushing to keep records sealed. they say we moms were promised anonimity
funny thing is, so``many of us who are reunited never wanted anonimity, and have even testified to that ( present writer included)
it's the closet cases who want the anonimity that stand to be hurt by these laws
so the organization that has been using these women to justify their ongoing practices are now turning around and harming the very women they claimed to have been protecting.

mitch, your brush is a bit broad. I have acknowledged in this thread the skill levels of the members of Yes, but that video is an excellent example of why Spinal Tap is such a classic. And the jazzers of the 70s were naught but well-educated prog-rockers, chasing the rock millions, and their output sounds as dated and ponderous now as Tarkus. I will admit an affinity for black music, both domestic and foreign, in spite of the fact that my favorite saxophonists are Desmond, Getz and Brecker. Stevie Wonder needs no defense from me, but you sure have a hole in your soul if you don't get him. The O'jays, not so much, but Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, OK. It might interest you to know that I played with Wilson Pickett, and was on James and Bobby Purify's "I'm Your Puppet", as well as working for Peter, Paul and Mary and Joan Olivor, among many, many others. I am steeped in the music of America, and I love most of it, black, white, brown or clear. The difference is that I don't expect everyone to like what I like, but I do know the difference between posers and players. I have two photos on my studio wall, both of Miles Davis. He taught me what my bandmates in the early days called my attitude: "ruthless compassion". I can guarantee that if you ever see me play, you will never see me "going through the motions", unlike that group of millionaires in tonight's featured video.

It really depends how the laws are drafted. I'd doubt for example, that the law would say "all biological mothers must supply medical records of both their family and the biological father, going back four generations, before June 30 2007, or imprisonment for five years".
More likely it would be softer, eg only applying "if requested by the adopted child for medical purposes" and only seeking info "to the best of the adoptive mother's knowlege", etc.

In the mid 70's I was friends with Michael McDonald, he even wanted me to write lyrics for him.
I was way into country rock at the time so I didn't follow the Doobies, but I had thought that It Keeps You Running and Taking it to the Streets was sung by a black guy.
When I found out that he was one who sang it, I was very surprised.
At one point Robert Hilburn made the comment that the Doobies were 2 bands, Pat Simmons bar band, and McDonald's classy R & B outfit.
That pissed them off.
Shortly after that, Mike moved to Santa Barbara and started writing with others like Bacharach and Bayor Sagar and Loggins.
Pisses me off. One song of his with my lyrics back then and I could have retired in a home in Marin County, like Lester Abrams, who co-wrote Minute by Minute.

dave, I honestly don't know. Miles was very inspired by Sly and Hendrix, but I didn't really get to know him until later on, and one never really gets to know Miles anyway. He wasn't too interested in the past, nor am I, so I guess anything's possible. I mean, Sonny Rollins and the Stones?

I agree. I believe that there are ways to do these things without laws: Adopted child asks adoption agency to pass on message to bio mother "please supply any important medical info if possible". Problem solved in most instances.
Problem with republican laws: They assume people have black, black hearts.

cobalt richie, don't regret. no positivity in it. Maybe Marin County sucks out loud. I like your description of the two Doobie Brothers approaches, though, on the money. One of my favorite pop music tracks of all time is the duet of Michael and Patti LaBelle, I forget the name right now, but it is achingly perfect.

Miles was very inspired by Sly and Hendrix, but I didn't really get to know him until later on, and one never really gets to know Miles anyway.
I don't think you really get to know Sly, either.
Supposedly, he's moved back up here near his hometown and has a place somewhere near Napa.
His brother Freddie is a preacher here at a local church. I was gonna check him out until I discovered he's big with the Promise Keepers.
I just get so angry when people rip on Yes and the prog bands while overstating what Frank Zappa once referred to as "pulp" (I do, however, agree that most fusion, outside of "Romantic Warrior" by RTF, doesn't hold up well at all).
Still, I love ELP's "Tarkus" album, and I had watched Atrios' video link tonigh--and did not believe the Yes guys were faking it. I just think Alan White doesn't hit the drums as hard as Bruford.
