Esteban Simels,
I actually looked into the idea of starting up something like ActBlue, only it would be a series of escrow accounts used to fund primary challenges from the left.
Say you want to primary challenge politician X, you create an account page for him, just like on ActBlue, only this page allows you to save up money to fund an eventual primary candidate (a la izquierda, naturalmente).
When the right person steps up, he or she gets all the dolares saved up in the account to use for their campaign.
Some glib drunk pol in the local dem party told me why it was illegal, one night. But my memory of the encounter is hazy.
"Go north a couple of counties. Von Stiel."

Every story has a beginning; in the case of this modest garden blog it was in February of 2005, with the bloom of the first snowdrop of the new garden year. Every story must also have an ending, and for An Iowa Garden, that day has arrived; it is a happy ending, though... I am not stopping because of ill health or a lack of stories or new plants to write about (I would say in the four years I've been writing this blog I've probably shown about a fourth of the plants in our garden). Rather, it is because of a lack of time; there are just not quite enough hours in the day, which I confess seems odd, since I retired from medicine six years ago, wondering how I would ever fill all my unaccustomed spare time.
I've made a lot of new friends through blogging, and have very much enjoyed meandering through other peoples' garden blogs too, and I hope a few folks have enjoyed following me about here in our garden, tucked in a small valley beside a pond, in a woods in eastern Iowa. This week the newest fawn is being paraded about by its proud mom, the young raccoons are discovering the challenge of shinnying up the birdfeeder pole in the dark of night, and the barred owls are hooting up and down the valley in the cool spring evenings. Seasons and years continue to unfold around and before me, and I feel deeply connected to all the wild creatures that share our land; and to the woods and to our garden in that woods. Living with (and in) nature can be occasionally exasperating, it can be funny or it can be very sad; but above all, it is a privilege. I have come to realize that the mark of a person can be measured by how they treat the least and most vulnerable of God's creatures.
Good gardening and Godspeed to all of you..

LOS ANGELES -- In a stunning move, a federal judge has tentatively decided to reverse a jury's verdicts and acquit a Missouri woman who had been convicted of computer fraud charges stemming from an Internet hoax that prompted a teenage girl to commit suicide.
Lori Drew was convicted in November of three misdemeanor counts of illegally accessing a protected computer.
She was expected to be sentenced today in a widely publicized "cyber bullying" case that resulted in the suicide of a 13-year-old girl.

So Grassley thinks that the health coverage that federal employees have is excellent? Isn't that an argument FOR national health care? So he's going to support single payer, right, so everyone can have the same excellent health care that federal employees have, I assume. It would only logically follow.
And the town changed it's name to Worthless.
America isn’t hiring precisely because of government policy. Small business owners, who are usually the first into and the first out of the job pool, are standing by the fence and watching. They are paralyzed by regulatory uncertainty. If they hire someone who ends up doing poorly, will they be able to fire that person? Will they have to pay their health care bills after they’ve been terminated? If so, for how long? Who will pay for all these stimulus checks? If it will turn out to be small business, why would they hire instead of keeping costs low to prepare for the big tax bill? Where will the market move? Are you in the right business or are your clients in a politically disfavored industry? . . . Jobs aren’t languishing despite the government’s best efforts. They’re languishing because of them.

----
The Family Research Council has embarked on a new public relations effort against a particular Obama Administration appointee, Kevin Jennings, saying he should not be in his new position at the Department of Education because of his previous position in private activism -- as executive director of GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.
Jennings is set to begin his new job on Monday, as Assistant Deputy Secretary of Education for the Department's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, after his appointment was announced about a month ago. And this week, FRC launched a last-minute Web petition to oppose him. It asks a pointed question: Would you choose this teacher to guide your children?

That can't be true, because we've been reliably informed that Obama has thrown da gays under da bus.
Am I a little bitter? I keep hoping that Obama is just showing that the reactionaries will never work with him and then he can actually do something progressive but I am becoming doubtful.

Kids, I'm 105 years old. I'm so old that 1910 was my youth. I'm so old that I remember the first time Republicans promised to make everything okay. I'm so old that I was afraid of Wendell Wilkie.... And Upton Sinclair. And those crazy boys of the ILL.
It's all happened before.
the Lay of Lethian lasts even longer, just sayin.

Not the kind of dates I am used to.

I ain't got time for that now
Well, I thought I had to work tomorrow, but at a little after 5 today, the bosses announced we had tomorrow off. I feel a little sorry for the folks who left before 5 who will arrive to an almost deserted building tomorrow. But only a little. After all, they got to leave before 5.
I had to google that. Good god.

thanks, dad. i was feeling all lonely and nerdish. with pimples.
How's that "stimulus"working out?
"Not the kind of dates I am used to."
ah the joys of having sons
their g/f's moms deal with that
but the reports I get back are 100% "he's a gentleman"
except for the son who went to a wedding as the date of the niece of the bride and got caught making out with her at the reception
first the mom called the ex...
then the ex called me...
They could be downstairs watching movies, where I would be.

qu'est-ce que c'est?
I googled it too, in case it meant something different and perhaps pruriently interesting. It doesn't.
I would hope that if KO wasn't on vacation that Countdown wouldn't spend the first 10-15 minutes of the show on Michael Jackson - there are so many more important things going on in the world.
This will still be going on a year from now so I know I shouldn't expect anything else.

They had met that night. [eyeroll]

i hope that was all clear, too. cause it was; Clear! anyone could've picked up on it. anyone.
I guess I should go retrieve my son from the child storage facility now...
Mark B, Monsieur arrived home around 3. I asked him if everyone had bolted out early. He said that almost no one came in, so there weren't many people that needed to escape early. And, as he says, if your boss is gone before you are, it doesn't count as leaving early.

Countdown with Keith Olberman has exclusive footage of Michael Jackson singing and dancing just 2 days before he perished.

Uncle Blodge, MTC
When you say 'her' I assume you meant the niece of the bride. I also assume they were not doing it in public. If those two conditions hold why not?
my buddy just brought me a two-hearted ale shirt from bell's during his seattle area vizit.
And yet another family of Bible thumping Jeebus-spewing con artists gets nabbed by the law, but not before ripping off millions from their gullible customers.

Uncle B, better than having your spouse call you when you're 6500 miles from home and he's freaking out because he caught the girl and her bf in flagrante delicto.
It probably didn't help that my first reaction was to laugh at him, but it WAS the middle of the night in Corsica.
And, as he says, if your boss is gone before you are, it doesn't count as leaving early.
Well, at my workplace they actually had a good reason for scheduling us for work tomorrow, and giving late notice it was cancelled. We had a looming crisis ... which suddenly evaporated. We got released from bondage about 10 minutes after it was known.

Failure to plan a crisis does not necessitate an emergency on your part.
Countdown with Keith Olberman has exclusive footage of Michael Jackson singing and dancing just 2 days before he perished.
If they don't have footage of David Carradine choking himself to death, I'm not interested.
The newsers have always done this kind of Michael Jackson stuff, within the limits of their technology. Look back at the coverage of the Lindberg baby kidnapping or the custody fight over poor little rich girl Gloria Vanderbilt. It was little Lindy or little Gloria as much as they could push it. It's just our luck (or lack thereof) to be in such a ubiquitous media age.

just be sure to pick the right one!
nephew, who is not Jewish, goes to a hebrew language m't'sorri. there is one other brown child there. sis occasionally is so tired, she gets in the pickup queue and has to step up and say, "nope! the other one." cause everyone is so confused by a passel of 3-6yos getting in a line of suspiciously similar upscale minivans...
Adam, I repeated to Mlle over and over, your failure to plan properly does not constitute an emergency on my part. She's 23 and finally beginning to get it.
"Ah, I think I've had that conversation. "YOUR child...!""
Yes - because you see he learned that kind of behavior from who else?

Of course.

Certain people were on site which we had to support (software and systems). When they took off, we no longer had to be there. I didn't have a whole lot of choice in the matter.
Toons, this is why I haven't watched Countdown in several days. As if we don't get enough crap from L.A. local news already.

Funny - I still can't break Brother of only dealing with me when he wants something. He never did grasp the brother/sister relationship when it came to me. To my Big Sister - yes. But she's dead now, more than 35 years gone.

You really want this story? No, they did not. The girl's mother, in a very old fashioned way, raised the child as her own, so as her (the child's) own mother's sister.
In some very weird twist of fate, she went on to marry the cousin of my second husband, and that reunion was awkward.

Heh. Found similar entries in search engine one morning after the Surly Teenager had been on the puter the night before. Privately, I asked him about it and did he have any questions. He said "Ew dad it was gross!"

You seem to have got into trouble over multiple actions of your offspring. Perhaps one of the reasons for the word "ex"?

"What the hell do they think we are, puppets? They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.... When you call the reporter the night before you know damn well what they are going to ask to control you. I’m not saying there has never been managed news before, but this is carried to fare-thee-well — for the town halls, for the press conferences. It’s blatant. They don’t give a damn if you know it or not. They ought to be hanging their heads in shame."

i'll just remind everyone, esp those name "rootless," that before we get all Dismissive of Ms. Thomas, her Villagerness, her wrongness, etc. on the issue of the relationship bw the media, new and old, and today's WH, of one thing. for all Ms.Thomas may or may not be a Villager, wrong about the blogosphere, "out of touch" etc., she did decide to be interviewed, for no money fame or party invites, by a blogger.
namely, me.
so go on and dismiss her. but don't say she says what she says "because she hates the interwebs and doesn't understand them." she's far less GOML than i am, in truth.
