Palin/The Plumber '12 on the Independent Wingnut Ticket.
Interesting take Pork Chop, Jr from Buzzflash:
Liz Cheney is No Innocent Bystander - She Was Dick's Mole in the State Department on the Middle East
"Indeed, Liz Cheney served two stints in the State Department while Dick was up to his illegal and largely still unknown secretive actions. And she wasn't stationed at the Iceland desk. She had responsibilities directly related to "diplomacy" in the Middle East.
In 2002, Liz was appointed to the "vacant" position of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern [Middle-Eastern] Affairs. In 2005, after taking time off from the State Department to work on her father's re-election, she was named Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State For Near Eastern Affairs. In 2006, Liz became the head of the State Department Iran Syria Policy and Operations Group"
I would say if you want to be successful and a good citizen of this country you should strive to do the exact opposite of what “Joe the Plumber” does and says.
That they continue to cling to Joe the Plumber in wingnut world is even more odd than their love of Palin.

Sen. Tom Coburn evoked a 1950s TV show in a quip responding to Sonia Sotomayor’s scenario about what he might do if she -- hypothetically, of course -- attacked him.
"You'll have a lot of 'splainin' to do," Coburn said, to laughter from the crowd and Sotomayor. What he said -- and how he said it -- was a riff on a Hispanic television character, Ricky Ricardo, whose accent is now widely considered a broad parody.
re Global Warming and Sarah Palin's Pipeline.
Alaska’s permafrost is melting and changing the landscape.
In some places here, melting permafrost makes the ground cave in, creating a ribbon or pocket of collapsed land called thermokarst. Scientists at Toolik are studying this to see how often they find it and what impacts it has on surrounding environments.
They are also looking at the relationship between thermokarst and climate change. Warmer temperatures will lead to more of it.
Why you should care about the permafrost in lands far away: When it melts, greenhouse gases previously locked up in the frozen soil, including carbion dioxide and methane, get released. If all the permafrost in the Arctic melted, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would double, according to scientists here, leading to a radical transformation of sea levels and local climates.
And while the permafrost won’t all melt anytime soon, even a little melting sets in motion other changes that can further contribute to warming.
Try to build a 3000 mile pipeline on unstable ground. Can't do it.

Both Small Dog Electronics in Vermont and Shreve Systems in Shreveport, LA sell, I believe, parts for Mac computers (definitely Shreve does.) I've repaired my old machines with bits from these guys. If you can do the labor (and putting in a new power supply is easy, I bet you've done it more than once) you can save some money. But you're probably planning to go this way already.
If my finances improve in the next week or two, you'll be hearing from me."
Thanks!
I've already searched high and low, the the best deal I've found is for a rebuilt and guaranteed power supply via eBay. I send him the old one, he sends me a refurbished one.
As for donations, I am, as always, greatful. But don't donate what you can't comfortably spare. We're all of us hurting to one extent or another in this economy.
And don't forget about NTodd and Erika. Their need is DEFINATELY greater than mine right now.

Sinclair Broadcast Group spelled out Tuesday just how close it is to bankruptcy.
-----
It faces debt covenant violations, sagging revenues and cash flow that may make it impossible to service that debt, and what could be contentious negotiations with ABC over its affiliation agreement, which expires at year end.
But the key and most immediate threat is the potential credit default of Cunningham Broadcasting Corp., with which Sinclair has local market agreements (LMAs) encompassing six stations.
That could push Sinclair over the edge as soon as the end of July.

A leading expert on glaciers recently said glacial melt is precipitating at its fastest rate ever and could add 3 feet to the world’s sea levels by 2100, really doing a number on the worlds coast and coastal towns.
Lonnie G. Thompson, an Ohio State professor and glaciologist, predicts that by the end of the 21st century, global temperature will rise by 3 degrees Celsius, spurring a melt that will flood coastal areas and increase storm activities.
And, it turns out that even if we achieve emissions reductions like the ones laid out in the 2007 Global Warming Response Act, glaciers will keep melting “because carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for decades after it is released and will continue to affect the world’s temperature, the experts say”

White House turns up heat on Arizona senator
The Obama administration is firing back at Sen. Jon Kyl for calling for an end to economic stimulus spending and they're aiming for where it hurts the most — at home in Arizona.
The White House on Tuesday released letters from four cabinet secretaries to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, citing Kyl's comments and outlining transportation, housing, Indian education and other projects in his home state they said would be eliminated if the senator has his way.
Kyl, the No. 2 Senate GOP leader, has said the stimulus spending hasn't succeeded in boosting the economy and that it's adding to the deficit. He's suggested on his Senate Web site and in interviews that spending not already allocated be halted.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, one of two Republicans in Obama's cabinet, made no attempt to conceal his needling.
Kyl "publicly questioned whether the stimulus is working and stated that he wants to cancel projects that aren't presently under way," LaHood wrote Brewer. "If you prefer to forfeit the money we are making available to your state, as Senator Kyl suggests, please let me know."
Senate cafeteria's about to get blitzed.

Why should he when wingnut welfare is such a sweet undemanding gig?
Res Ipsa Loquitur tried to feed me to the sharks. True story.
In endorsing Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy did some creative rewriting of history. And he put quote marks around it.
Trying to head off criticism of a controversial comment, Leahy misquoted Sotomayor’s own words in kicking off the second day of her confirmation hearings. . . .
LEAHY SAID: “You said that, quote, you ‘would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would reach wise decisions.’”
THE FACTS: If that’s all Sotomayor said, the quote would barely have mattered to opponents of her nomination. The actual quote, delivered in a 2001 speech to law students at the University of California at Berkeley, was: “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”
Leahy’s revision dropped the controversial part of the phrase, the part that has attracted charges of reverse racism.
Sotomayor said her words have been misunderstood. She said she intended to tell students that their experiences would enrich the legal system. But she softened her language Tuesday, say that no ethnic, racial or gender group has an advantage in judging.
Now if only the rubes will believe her.
"Kyl, the No. 2 Senate GOP leader, has said the stimulus spending hasn't succeeded in boosting the economy and that it's adding to the deficit."

"Kyl asked whether Sotomayor has "always been able to find a legal basis for every decision that (she's) rendered as a judge."
"This is not a trick question," Kyl assured her
"I can't imagine that the answer would be otherwise than, yes, you've always found some legal basis for ruling one way or the other, some precedent, some reading of a statute, the Constitution or whatever it might be."

as far as health care reform goes, there is much misundestanding about what defines small business.

the act that got out of the senate commitee today exempts what we think of as small business from it.
Under the legislation, most businesses would be required to offer insurance to workers or pay a $750 annual fee per full-time employee. Companies with fewer than 25 employees would be exempt from the mandate, which faces fierce opposition by the Chamber of Commerce and National Federation of Independent Businesses.

Brooklyn nonprofit to lay off 40
The nonprofit Brooklyn Bureau of Community Service will cut 40 staffers and a program that helps put welfare recipients to work because of lack of funding.
The 143-year-old nonprofit, which serves disadvantaged families, is looking to eliminate its WeCare program. WeCare started in 2005 and helps thousands of adults with mild disabilities make the transition from welfare to work by offering classes, Internet training and help with the interview process. Last year, the Brooklyn Bureau placed 525 people into paying jobs.
Sources say the agency is cutting the program because it isn't able to get the funding necessary to cover WeCare's growing operating costs. The Brooklyn Bureau declined to comment.
The nonprofit's remaining programs, including Head Start and After School Literacy, will continue. It serves around 13,000 people a year with a staff of 500 at 17 sites around Brooklyn.
Our mayor has a personal wealth of $16,000,000,000, and insists that rich people create jobs.

I'm surprised.
Bush used to wear the presidential seal on everything.
The vast majority of nurses deserve a fat pay raise IMO. Mostly a thankless, depressing job
Socialist.
Who the fuck watches the ALCS?
Elitist!

Just tryin' to establish that I know something about the prize, and the place.
Back to my optimistic, not so elitist .sig.
Well, the Senate Health Care bill is pretty comprehensive, but nowhere, -still- can I find any indication of what would incline a physician to accept a particular health insurance plan.
There's this, tho:
Subtitle F. Making Health Care More Affordable for Retirees
Reinsurance for Retirees. The Secretary will create a temporary reinsurance program to provide reimbursement to employers who provide health benefits to retirees (those older than 55 but not yet eligible for Medicare) and their
dependents who live in states that have not yet established Gateways. The reinsurance program will be funded through a Retiree Reserve Trust Fund.
Treasury is fucking us again.
Warrants are being sold back to banks for 66 cents on the dollar.
We should be keeping them and turning a profit on 'em when they reach maturity. Instead, crony capitalism is still entrenched.
End the oligopoly. Break up Goldman sachs and the next 5 large investment/banking entities.
You're tryoing to use facts against Luby...he doens't need facts when he has hatred for his intellectual betters...
olexicon, mike sass
That obsession he has with Al Gore is just plain creepy.
Who the fuck watches the ALCS?
Glad to see you're still alive and kicking, you Braves fan you.
to be clearer, there is much chatter by goopers and blue dicks that the requirements will hurt small business.
that has media appeal.
but the truth is, when they talk about small business they are including what most of us think as rather large enterprises with millions in revenue and up to 1000 employees.
I dont know about you, but when I think of a business with 800 employees I think it is large.
The federal government however defines that as SMALL business and eligible for all the SBA benefits, grants, etc.
so when the gooper get up and talk about impact on small business, they try to conjure up the mom-and-pop business, the dry cleaner, the butcher, the small general contractor, but those folks are all exempt from this as they are smaller than 25 employees.
There are some who *only* watch the ALCS
this, of course, is in reference to the health care bills.

Compared to the multinational corporations the GOP prefers to er, "service", such enterprises ARE "small businesses"...

Relativism run amok?
Obama does have the slightest whiff of effeminacy.
To be honest.
What about the people who use "independent" contractors by the hundreds to finish large jobs, while denying them the basic wage and insurance protections of legitimate employees? What about THEIR rights?

Thomas Frank is a genius...
"Indeed, if political figures stand for ideas, victimization is what Ms. Palin is all about. It is her brand, her myth. Ronald Reagan stood tall. John McCain was about service. Barack Obama has hope. Sarah Palin is a collector of grievances. She runs for high office by griping."

Who among us doesn't have the latter and deserve the former?
Except employees of Goldman, Sachs, of course.
"AP fucking hatchet job."
we *know* who's behind the ap wingnuttiness.
i'm very pleased with the house and the senate help committee getting bills out, and obama is pushing hard.
i think one area/group obama needs to meet with are these cable talking heads...they are pushing the fear and LIBERALLIBERAL angle hard.
nursing is going through a revolution of sorts. now there are nursing researchers/scientist's. phd's & rn's but only work on nursing data. no icky human contact.
doctor nurses, working on nursing research?
we've had those for at least fifteen years that i know of.
When not-Joe the not-Plumber appeared at a teabaggin' party here in Austin on July 4 the local media labelled him as a "political celebrity".
Kinda like the Paris Hilton of politics.
heh good one thomas frank

That's a terrible fantasy.
When is Goldman Sachs paying us back, by the way?
back later...maybe

The writing in the New York Tomes' sports section continues to amaze with its absolute dogshittiness.
ST. LOUIS — The National League must feel like the frustrated brother who cannot beat his brother when it plays the American League in the All-Star Game. The N.L. knows it is talented enough to win and knows it can win. But the A.L., the imposing brother, does not let it happen.
Earth's "climate" was utterly static until the heinous Industrial Revolution!
There was once an inland sea hundreds of metres deep covering Missouri, so people in St. Louis are idiots for worry about their bath tubs overflowing.

Attorney where my daughter works argued a case before the SCOTUS a few months ago.
Said Thomas is an absolute moron. Sat there giggling all during the proceedings.

Kidnap
Of course we have had PhD nurses doing research for quite some time. Florence Nightingale was famous fou her use of statistics... old stuff here.
Still, most nursing is still traditional hospital based stuff. Just take a whiff of the air on most nursing floors and you'll smell the research.
I need an editor.
cb:
I can remember when the AL went YEARS between victories in the All Star Game.
Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod – “may rely only on Democrats to push health-care legislation through the U.S. Congress if Republican resistance doesn’t eventually give way.”
where's the weak-kneed troll? he was bragging yesterday I believe how health care was done! Not gonna' make a lot of money betting against Obama - It's like betting against Belicek - every now and then you get lucky, the rest of the time he does all the work necessary and wins.
The party of L'il Lindsey provides the standard of masculinity.

He makes about as much sense as Jeff Sessions does.

Yeah, you LIKE that????
i mean nothing but data and turning that in research grant gold.
ut at austin for example(ranked 7th in nation for research money),half the graduating class are researchers.
