COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Ohio Elections Commission has levied a record $5.2 million fine against a political action committee headed by former Michigan Republican Chairwoman Betsy DeVos that supports candidates who favor school choice.
All Children Matter's political action committee in Virginia sent $870,000 to its PAC in Ohio for the 2006 election cycle. The contribution was illegal because All Children Matter's Virginia PAC wasn't registered in Ohio, said Philip Richter, the commission's executive director.

British fear US commander is beating the drum for Iran strikes
British officials gave warning yesterday that America's commander in Iraq will declare that Iran is waging war against the US-backed Baghdad government.
A strong statement from General David Petraeus about Iran's intervention in Iraq could set the stage for a US attack on Iranian military facilities, according to a Whitehall assessment. In closely watched testimony in Washington next week, Gen Petraeus will state that the Iranian threat has risen as Tehran has supplied and directed attacks by militia fighters against the Iraqi state and its US allies.

Beautiful, touching front page story in the NY Times about John McCain's son Jimmy's service to his nation as a Marine in Iraq. It will flesh out John McCain and the McCain families service to our country. How anyone could even think about voting for an America hater like Hussein Obama after reading this article about the McCains is beyond me. I'm sure in the end they won't. Obama is headed for a 50 state debacle next November. It's gonna be ugly.

When General Petraeus faces Congress next week, he’ll be questioned by presidential candidates McCain, Clinton, and Obama. Who thinks there’s a chance that the two Democrats who haven’t been able to say that all troops will be out of Iraq by the end of their first term, or that nuclear war against Iran is off the table will actually risk their political aspirations by challenging Petraeus on an unpopular war which has killed over 1 million people? I say a confrontation is unlikely, but I’ve been accused of being low on hope.
Uh oh

Yeah, this will really bring us all together:
There are signs that targeting Iran would unite American politicians across the bitter divide on Iraq. "Iran is the bull in the china shop," said Ike Skelton, the Democrat chairman of the Armed Services Committee.

MEXICO CITY: The Absolut vodka company apologized Saturday for an ad campaign depicting the southwestern U.S. as part of Mexico amid angry calls for a boycott by U.S. consumers.
The campaign, which promotes ideal scenarios under the slogan "In an Absolut World," showed a 1830s-era map when Mexico included California, Texas and other southwestern states. Mexico still resents losing that territory in the 1848 Mexican-American War and the fight for Texas independence.
But the ads, which ran only in Mexico and have since ended, were less than ideal for Americans undergoing a border buildup and embroiled in an emotional debate over illegal immigration from their southern neighbor.
More than a dozen calls to boycott Absolut were posted on michellemalkin.com, a Web site operated by conservative columnist Michelle Malkin. The ads sparked heated comment on a half-dozen other Internet sites and blogs.
"In no way was it meant to offend or disparage, nor does it advocate an altering of borders, nor does it lend support to any anti-American sentiment, nor does it reflect immigration issues," Absolut said in a statement left on its consumer inquiry phone line.
Yeah, this will really bring us all together:
Yes it will bring us together but love, love will keep us together.

John Hall loves his Oates.
From Move-On:
10 things you should know about John McCain (but probably don't):
1. John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.1
2. According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."2
3. His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.3
4. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."4
5. The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.5
6. He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations.6
7. Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."7

Helen Thomas writes that Hillary should stay in and continue to fight for the nomination.
A Feb. 20-24 New York Times-CBS poll found that 48 percent of respondents said the news media were tougher on Clinton compared with 43 percent, who thought the media were tougher on Obama.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that the major newspaper columnists are giving Obama a free ride, while trashing Clinton. Likeability undoubtedly goes a long way with them, and he has mesmerized the media.
Clinton, on the other hand, has left herself open to criticism for dubious involvement in foreign policy decisions in the Clinton years. But one can't deny that she was there and that her opinion was respected.
Obama can be forgiven for acting like a front-runner, but not for his patronizing remarks such as: "My attitude is that Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants."
Even Clinton has the audacity of hope -- and why not?
8. McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.8
9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult."9
10. He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.10

Two days ago, Ali Ibn Laith died in Iraq. A strange name but he just as easily could have been named Roger or Jimmy. He was recovering from severe injuries suffered last year in an air strike by the US that killed both of his parents. He was severely burned by an air strike two days ago in Sadr City, Baghdad. Seventeen-year-old Mohammed Ibn Laith, his cousin, did his best trying to help Ali. He was shot by U.S. forces when he approached a roadblock trying to carry Ali to a hospital. One was 9, the other 17. What are we doing?
God, John Lennon was gorgeous.
I can't believe I missed that when I was younger.

Obama can be forgiven for acting like a front-runner, but not for his patronizing remarks such as: "My attitude is that Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants."
If that remark had come out of the blue, I might read it as patronizing. But he was asked a direct question.

George was pretty, too, in his own way.
Good evening, again.
Vicki's post above about Al Gore reminded me that a coworker is in Quebec with Al as we speak. He's teaching 200 or so people to give the Inconvenient Truth presentation, and she was selected.
I believe John Lennon would have loved Michael Franti. I like to think of this as this era's "Give Peace a Chance."

In the last couple of days I have finally decided to up my pain pills a slight amount. I had been three a day. I have decided to take three and a half a day. (I had been taking a third of a pill at noon, five, and just before retiring. I have upped this to a half)
My wife, aware of the nature of the pills said, "See, I TOLD you so! The nature of these is that you need more and more!."

Little Esther (Born Esther Mae Jones, December 23, 1935 in Galveston, Texas; died August 7, 1984 in Carson, California) was an American singer. Little Esther was one of the great female R&B vocalists. She also performed in the pop, country, jazz, and soul music.

There was a big show of post-war Japanese art that came through SF several years ago. Most people don't know how prominent Ono was in that, and how large she looms in the beginning of the whole performance art thing.
She was also a member of the Fluxus group. This is pretty cool.
Oh, no.

Under Control Panel, then Performance, there is a little link at the very bottom of the navigation page with Problem Reports and Solutions. I have found it very useful for solving problems. It actually found a generic driver for my video card.

Amazing is the right word. I want to know what is happening, what those girls are feeling, how sexual the stuff is, how visual it is, why certain singers got that treatment and most did not, what it is about them, and also whether the screaming thing is dead these days and why if it is.
Remember when she was controversial?

My older brother and sister took me to see them at Suffolk Downs in Boston in '64. The screaming was intense and nonstop. We never heard a word they sang. That's why they stopped touring.

I think eight years of Ike, and JFK being freshly murdered had something to do with Beatlemania in the United States.

It's hard to imagine now how fresh they were in 1963. The movie A Hard Day's Night was like The Graduate of its day. They were funny, irreverent, but not mean spirited. And they questioned authority and convention. "Are you a mod or a rocker? I'm a mocker."
I think they had "scream starters" who were hired shills who got the whole thing going.
http://www.pawleysislandhammocks.com/
Yeah, I went there, all the pictures are the size of postage stamps, and they don't open up into something bigger. Can't see what you're buying.
Remember when she was controversial?
I love her voice.
I don't know if I've ever told this story, but back in 1994, I had a very rough patch in my life. I had been with a guy for 5 years, and we went to buy a house together. We found one; an awesome house on a lake. I put mine up for sale, and it sold within 3 days. He and I go to finance the house that we bought, and I learn that he's still married. He neglected to tell me that his divorce was never finalized. Uhhhh. Not good. The relationship ended.
So, relationship ends, I'm in downward spiral. I need to buy a new house within 6 weeks, because Audrey was going into 1st grade, and we needed to be settled. I found the house I'm in now.
In the meantime, I was quite distraught, and so I wanted to change my look. My hair was down to my shoulders, and reddish brown. I had it dyed platinum, but the chick over-processed it, so it broke off in a few spots, to about a 1/4 inch. Mortified, I went to another shop, and all she could do was dye it back to the original color, and take the clippers to my head. So I looked like Sinead.
And then three weeks later, in the midst of packing for a big move, I broke both of my feet.
Good times, good times.

I think Hard Day's Night held up pretty well. The only odd thing I noticed while seeing it recently is how sort of dreary and post-war the whole atmosphere was.
Good evening.
Zapette just spent a good chunk of time at the "lounge" area of a West St. Paul bowling alley.
But we had some Summit EPA, and I drove a car for the first time in many a month.
Good time had by all.
huh, Ali just appears, exchanges some forced but polite pee-pee strokes with Elias then Elias says goodnight? and this same scenario happens alot... why?
Vicki, that has to be true, nobody could make that up.
Charlton Heston just let go of his gun.
Zapette was OVER THE LINE! Mark it a zero, Dude.
Oh, it's true, all right.
I lived it.
And that Summer/Fall, I grew up.
The same thing happened with Sinatra but they didn't know what he looked like at first. Then when they saw pictures of the man singing those ballads. Wow! He's a good looking YOUNG man.

Movies are much faster paced now. In 1964, that was pretty cutting edge. Sound of Music won the oscar in '65.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach, were just starfish on the beach.
"Sound of Music" is still magic to me.
