"UPDATE: Sanders H-1B Bill Postponed
The Nation gives us the update on the Sanders-Grassley bill to crackdown on corporations that use the H-1B program to lower American wages by replacing American workers with lower-paid foreign workers:
“What the immigration bill was really about was corporate America’s ability to import low-skilled and high-skilled workers to keep wages down,” says Warren Gunnels, a senior policy advisor to Bernie Sanders who spoke in the Senator’s absence. High-skilled workers brought in on H-1B visas are paid, on average, $25,000 less per year than American workers, according to Gunnels. And last week, while Dell and IBM and Motorola and others claimed that they couldn’t find Americans to take these jobs, those very companies laid off thousands of employees. So Sanders sponsored an amendment, along with Republican Charles Grassley of Iowa, to limit the number of H-1B visas to companies that are concurrently laying off workers. It never reached the floor.
It didn’t get to the floor because the immigration bill as a whole was pulled. But this legislation will be back. Stay tuned."

Beef supplier expands recall to 445,000 pounds
By The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A meat supplier has expanded a voluntary recall of ground beef that may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria.
United Food Group said in a statement this week that it expanded the recall of 75,000 pounds of ground beef to include an additional 370,000 pounds based on "unspecified concerns" raised by the California Department of Health Services."

Apparently, U.S. forces have not only aligned themselves with dozens of Sunni militiamen, we're also now cooperating with sectarian militias, working outside the Iraqi security forces, that include insurgents that have attacked Americans in the past. What's more, we're allowing them to procure weapons and we're granting them the power to arrest other Iraqis.
"We have made a deal with the devil," said an intelligence officer in the battalion.
The dynamic is not without complications. Joshua Partlow's report explained that "fighters on both sides appeared nearly identical," using the same weapons and wearing similar clothes. "Now we've got kind of a mess on our hands," a leader of a U.S. Stryker team remembered thinking. "Because we've got a lot of armed guys running all over the place, and it's making it very hard for us to identify which side is which."
Might these militias turn on the U.S. sometime soon? No one knows. Ali Hatem Ali Suleiman, a Sunni militia leader said, "Let's be honest, the enemy now is not the Americans, for the time being." (emphasis added)

The products have "sell-by" dates from April 29 to May 6 and may have "freeze-by" dates of April 28, April 30 or May 7.
So it's been at least over a month since those products were sold. Why has it taken this fucking long to announce a recall?
"Fox News reported Wednesday on a Navy physician charged with secretly videotaping midshipmen having sex while staying at his house. The doctor's attorney claimed in a phone interview that his client was set up by a former midshipmen who had been expelled and was trying to extort money.
Greg Gutfeld, a guest on the program and host of Fox's Red Eye, mockingly opined that "if somebody invites you over to their house to have sex, chances are they are going to film you. At least, that has been my experience.""

Yes - I'm going to be very interested in the response of the Borg when I request that I be displaced next month. This is a corporation that has invested a lot of money in its claims of employee retention, training and advancement - at the same time over the last 7 years conducting very quiet and very massive layoffs of personnel approaching specific time/pay grade limits. So, it should be fun.

PERU, Ind. - Fans of Cole Porter have transformed the composer's childhood home into a museum and a bed and breakfast.
Several hundred people attended Friday's dedication of the two-story wood frame house where Porter was born in 1891 and lived for his first 10 years. He learned to play the piano and violin there, and it was where he composed his first song, a tune dedicated to his mother, Kate.
Over the decades, the house about 65 miles north of Indianapolis had fallen into disrepair and was even used as a methampethamine lab.
But determined fans intervened to save and restore it with funding from the nonprofit Ole Olsen Memorial Theatre, a Peru group that bought the home in 2004.
"From meth lab to magic," Peru Mayor Jim Walker said.
Porter, who died in 1964, wrote more than 1,500 songs for stage, movies and television, including such standards as "Night and Day," "Anything Goes" and "I've Got You Under My Skin."

George is a bit of a cowardly lion
Completely OT, but I'm revising something, and came upon this. I've posted this before, but not with the GHG numbers:
A back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that preventing just one truck trip a year from California to Nova Scotia saves more in fuel than does shortening the daily one-way commute by 20 miles: one 3,600-mile truck trip at six mpg uses 600 gallons of diesel, while 500 car trips (two a day, five days a week, 50 weeks a year) of 20 miles each at 25 mpg uses 400 gallons of gasoline.
When burned, each litre of diesel fuel produces 2,730 grams of CO2, compared to 2,360 grams for each litre of gasoline, so the GHG costs of truck travel as compared to car travel are even worse than the fuel costs. In the above example, the one cross-continental truck journey produces about 6.2 tonnes of CO2, 70 percent more than the 3.6 tonnes of CO2 produced by an entire year’s worth of daily 20-mile commutes.

Moving from Austin, the property values in Oshkosh are rather astonishing. We can pretty much get twice the square footage for less than what we spent on our house here.

All answers lead to slow-speed scootering, so... a sit-down meal, or a scoot to the store for something?

Regarding the colors, depends on the rest of the room. But a pale lemon? Or maybe a very light blue with one contrasting dark one?
tomorrow am going to go to Wimborne to visit my niece and check out the folk festival taking place
A nice pale yellow could go nicely.

There's also a very deep blue Ralph Lauren paint color that would look pretty striking with white trim and yellow accents, but you'd need a large room to carry it off.

Crocodile escapes from Ukrainian circus
KIEV, Ukraine - An animal trainer who brought a crocodile to the beach to drum up interest in a circus got some unwelcome publicity when it broke free and made off into the Azov Sea.
The 3.2-foot crocodile, named Godzi, escaped from the handler in the city of Mariupol on Thursday, said Mykola Ranga, a spokesman for the regional branch of the Emergency Situations Ministry.
He said ministry workers were searching for the crocodile, whose mouth was taped shut, and that it has been seen swimming in the sea, which lies north of the Black Sea between Ukraine and Russia.
Officials issued a warning to area beachgoers, but Ukrainian media reported that many sunbathers and swimmers were undeterred and came to the shore Friday.

Some of the prices they're still asking for in Dayton are insane. this is Dayton, not the suburbs. I don't care how much you spent on the kitchen.
Even in Oakwood, the old money suburb of Dayton, they're beginning to realize people aren't going to pay 500,000-775,000 for a house that really isn't worth it.

Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb'
http://cbs5.com/topstories/
local..._159222541.html
(CBS 5) BERKELEY A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.
Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called "Gay Bomb."
Edward Hammond, of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, had used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal from the Air Force's Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.
As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."
The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.
"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soliders to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviwing the documents.
"The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soliders would become gay," explained Hammond.
The Pentagon told CBS 5 that the proposal was made by the Air Force in 1994.
Oh, dang. The hunger, she strikes!

I have friends, they are not wealthy and can't afford la di da interior designers and they obsess about this shit. It's fucking constant and I keep telling them -- you have great houses. They are just like you are - what the hell is the problem? And they do have great houses. My mother was like that - it literally never ended, the decorating and redecorating. I"m not big on construction and living with it. I grew up with it.
speaking of real estate... Herr Drunken and I were looking for rental property in London -- relocating with kids and pug -- and, man o' manoschevitz! Talk about freemarket free for all -- we looked at houses and flats that raised their rents on us by 10 and 20% in the 5 days we were looking!! And some of these properties are also for sale -- so, conceivably, a new owner could come in and chuck us out if we don't have an iron clad clause in the lease guaranteeing the agreed upon lease period! Craziness.
BTW rorschach, my theory is very old and has great predictive power. It predicted W. over Jeb and every fucked up thing that W has done.
we bought a house in the hills that was built in 1959 and shaped like a shoebox. determined to live in the past, we have panelled it and otherwise fixed it up as much as possible to make it look like it was built in 1915. we got our diploma for this effort when somebody asked us why we had put aluminum window frames into such an old house.
.
God, don't get me started on real estate. Chicago suburbs -- we bought this place (3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, built 1917, steam heat, no central air) for 325,000 ten years ago -- and two years ago a place just like it up the block went for 850,000, after a bidding war. Un-freakin-believable.
(Oshkosh is a nice town. Nice brewpub on the west side, too -- or was that in Fond du Lac?)

I used to rent whole entire rather nice older houses for $125 a month. But of course, I'm older than god's great aunt, so - shit. This gets to be one of those discussions.
Well, I'd take another picture to show you my decisionmaker but Arthur wants to have dinner. Visualise a small Acoma clay pot, decorated in black, deep terracotta and ivory. The ivory it is! (See, I didn't mention, the floor in this room is saltillo, and this is also the room where all the pitchers are framed in black.) Dieu merci - I was already exhausted by the notorious Unika Vaev decision of last week.

God, don't get me started on real estate. Chicago suburbs -- we bought this place (3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, built 1917, steam heat, no central air) for 325,000 ten years ago -- and two years ago a place just like it up the block went for 850,000, after a bidding war. Un-freakin-believable.
(Oshkosh is a nice town. Nice brewpub on the west side, too -- or was that in Fond du Lac?)

My sister and her hubby bought their first, and so far only, house in suburban Chicago 20 years ago. Nice 1960's split level. Probably 120,130. Don't want to know what it'd go for today.

As an example, the house my parents bought in 1962 for less than 40K - 3 (small)bedrooms, 1 bath, 2-car attached garage (since changed into a family room with a detached garage added), on a quarter acre, would now bring in at least 460K. This is in the suburbs east of Lake Washington, near Kirkland, but not even close to any water.
My 1st Apt was $85/month.
My first place out of college was $365 a month. A studio with a murphy bed.
But then again, it was on Bourbon Street. So, something of a steal.

I have lived in apartments in NYC, Chicago, Buenos Aires, Lima -- but I was single. It was easy to live in a Barbie sized place with teeny appliances... now, I have to look at places and think "where will the bikes go? And the golf clubs? And the Christmas decorations? And the dog's crate? (or the cat's litter box... if I get my new kitty...) It is a wild experience to look for urban accommodations for a family -- you see houses and flats that are fabulous (if you were single or empty nesters) -- and you wonder how families live in large cities... but I see kids on bikes in the park... I see dogs... I know that people have lives and think: how do I do this? We don't live in a McMansion in a suburb -- we live in an old charming house in the city. But, as Americans in the midwest, jeez! we sure do take space for granted! I just assume I am going to have roses and basil in my garden -- and not think, wow! I have space for roses and herbs in a real garden!

My 1790s house had 2 over 2 replacement windows installed about 1860 to modernize the house to Victorian elegance of the Civil War era. To return the house to its Federal Era origins I replaced the 2 over 2 windows with antique 9 over 6 sashes from 2 houses built around 1830.

What’s amazing to me about this new Creation Museum is that it’s about 500 times worse than I could have imagined it. First of all, there’s the aggressive stupidity, such as this explanation for how Noah got the dinosaurs onto the ark:
The Ark easily had room for the dinosaurs (as you can see in other articles in this issue). First, the Ark was the size of a huge cargo ship (at least 450 ft [137 m] long). Second, there weren’t many different kinds of dinosaurs (only about 50 “kinds”). Third, God most likely brought the smaller juvenile dinosaurs, not the aging adults, because they would be better suited for the voyage and the responsibilities of reproducing rapidly after the Flood.
But the levels of self-congratulatory stupidity are even more troubling. You see, the reason that you need to believe that the story of Noah’s ark and the flood is the literal truth instead of a myth is because the theory of evolution is the cause of racism. Aspazia linked images from an exhibit that shows the full delusional nature of the odd argument that “Darwinism” is the source of immorality, and that fundamentalist Christianity is the source of good.

According to Isaac Asimov's Book of Facts (1979), an Assyrian clay tablet dating to approximately 2800 BC was unearthed bearing the words "Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end. Bribery and corruption are common." This is one of the earliest examples of the perception of moral decay in society being interpreted as a sign of the imminent end.

It's silly about the cat. I do that - I have a hard time naming kittens because I don't know much about the kind of cat it's going to be. This one - shall I bore you? Is so quirky. He's not very big, but he has a gorgeous long coat that he will not keep clean. He loves to roll in the dirt. I called him Ole for his tail, which is malformed - short and curled into an O. His name is really Fin, I think.
Just silly.

very old window glass is thicker at the bottom vs. the top due to "flowing" of the glass. He used that an example to explain the "flow" of the Earth's interior rock.

I really don't give two shits about Paris Hilton, but I gotta give some kudos to the judge.
I have no doubt that his decision when initially sentencing her was swayed by the fact that although she had been officially caught by the police ONLY twice driving on her suspended license, pictures of her were appearing daily on TV, in magazines, and on the internet showing her behind the wheel and driving. Considering how fucking impossible it is to escape for even one day without seeing or hearing something about the skank, I'm sure he must have seen several other examples of times Paris chose to flip off the judge who gave her parole on the DUI charge to begin with. And she's just now figuring out that you can only flip everyone off so many times before someone finds a way to knock you down to size. Poor baby.

"GOP threatens ‘meltdown’ over judicial nominees
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Republican leaders yesterday threatened a “total shutdown” of Senate business if Democrats keep holding up President Bush’s appointments to the federal bench.
“It could cause major meltdown,” Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott, Mississippi Republican, said after Democrats postponed a committee vote on the nomination of Leslie H. Southwick to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.
Mr. Lott said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, was “very mad” about judicial appointments and could bring the narrowly divided chamber to a standstill if Democrats don’t speed up the confirmation process.
“It could be total shutdown here pretty soon.”
Just when I thought Republican hypocrisy couldn’t get anymore galling, these clowns manage to kick things up a notch.
If Senate Republicans want to pick a fight over this, let them. The facts are on Democrats’ side.'

I've heard of cats named Huckleberry.
I have strange ways of picking names as well. One of my birds we got from a breeder who didn't want him because he was too young. He's a subspecies of African grey called a 'timneh' so she was calling him 'Mr. T' which I found appalling. He was quite wild when we got him, and 'gacked' at us all the time. So I ended up naming him 'Kelele' which is Swahili for 'uproar.' It's turned out to be a good name for him.
The other greys have K-names from Swahili words as well. I know Swahili is spoken further east than where most greys come from, but this was before the intertubes and it was hard to find dictionaries for other African languages.

The British and American military presence in Iraq is worsening security across the region and should be withdrawn quickly, the UK's former ambassador to Washington warned yesterday.
Sir Christopher Meyer acknowledged that leaving Iraq would be "painful", but said the mission was not worth the death of one more serviceman. "I personally believe that the presence of American and British and coalition forces is making things worse, not only inside Iraq but the wider region around Iraq"

Anybody need a cat? I've got one I've got to find a home for. He moved in with me off the street last June when I moved here. He's perfectly nice, about 2 years old, long hair with gray ears & tail, and is polydactyl on his front paws. I'm going to move again next month and I'm only taking Maxi with me.
It's more than a little obvious that she did not receive a proper upbringing. If she's to turn things around, it will have to be of her own doing. Her family failed her from the get-go, they're not going to help now.
The fact that her parents appeared at the hearing where she was given the jail time is ample evidence that she was not inclucated with any sense of responsiblity. The reason she was given jail time is that she repeatedly flouted her probation. She was given breaks, and she chose to ignore the fact that she was indeed given them. She even blurted out something about having done everything she was told to do, but the stark reality is that she did no such thing.
BTW, I was in Home Depot looking for, among other things, a non-smelly spray lubricant. And I actually was directed to and purchased a big ol' can of JIG-A-LOO.
It's Canadian. And the link gives an innocuous and perfectly explanation of their "unusual" name.
Still, it sort of bothers me. I don't know whether to categorize it as a near-miss, like "niggardly". But it would seem to me that a Canadian manufacturer hoping to expand its market to us Southlanders would do a little market research, and perhaps offer their fine product under another name.

Tena, I am particular about names too. Which was why I changed 'Mr. T' to Kelele. He hadn't had that name long enough to learn it, anyway. He does respond to Kelele.
It is appropriate - Kelele means 'uproar' either in the sense of making a cacaphony, or even breaking out in song. So it is a very appropriate name, since he does both. Right now he is sitting here whistling and clicking at me and making kissing sounds.

Judging from photos, it looks like Paris Hilton has had two rhinoplasty surgeries. The first in 2001 built up her bridge. The second surgery appears to have slimmed the tip of her nose (too much because now her nose hooks downward). Perhaps, she should have stopped after the first surgery. In spite of the rhinoplasty gone wild, her cheek implants look nice.

Next to my permanent hope that I will suddenly be sucked into a parallel universe in which Paris Hilton never existed, I also hope that she settles down and toughs it out. She'll be sprung shy of her total sentence, I'm sure, but despite my tender-heartedness I think her ass needs to stay in jail long enough to force a catharsis.

But after the tour of the house, the realtor returned to the bird's cage, and once again he said "Whore"
Tlaz - A couple of Czechs moved in next door to my parents years ago, and they had two big green parrots. They had a perch set up for them in the front yard, and the birds would sit out there and shout at people who walked or rode by on bikes. Also they heard me calling my cat and they started calling him too. (The cats were totally freaked by the parrots - wouldn't go anywhere near them.)
But the funniest thing was my mom telling about going over to Vlado and Monica's for dinner. The birds were making a racket (they had a huge cage for them inside) and Vlado yelled at them a couple of times, and when they still didn't shut up, he covered up their cage. Mom said it was very quiet for a moment, then a "fuck you, Vlado" issued from under the cage cover. Vlado tried to claim they were saying something in Czech, but Mom wasn't buying it.
I used to tell the folks that all they needed now was for a Romanian with a dancing bear to move in on the other side.

It was Pope Benedict XVI, formerly known as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who inserted the Catholic church into the 2004 election by ordering bishops to deny communion to abortion rights supporters, including candidate John Kerry.
In a June 2004 letter to US bishops enunciating principles of worthiness for communion recipients, Ratzinger specified that strong and open supporters of abortion should be denied the Catholic sacrament, for being guilty of a "grave sin."
He specifically mentioned "the case of a Catholic politician consistently campaigning and voting for permissive abortion and euthanasia laws," a reference widely understood to mean Democratic candidate Kerry, a Catholic who has defended abortion rights. The letter said a priest confronted with such a person seeking communion "must refuse to distribute it."
Ratzinger even instructed the Bishops on which voters could receive communion.
[N.B. A Catholic would be guilty of formal cooperation in evil, and so unworthy to present himself for Holy Communion, if he were to deliberately vote for a candidate precisely because of the candidate’s permissive stand on abortion and/or euthanasia. When a Catholic does not share a candidate’s stand in favour of abortion and/or euthanasia, but votes for that candidate for other reasons, it is considered remote material cooperation, which can be permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons.]

Set it up over the chicks in a large box full of pine shavings. You will need to clean out their food and water at least twice daily.
We need to do something about Reid. He never follows through.
I had a friend who did this with 100 watt bulbs. You don't want it dead center, you want it off to the side in case they get overheated, so they can get out of the direct heat. If they fall asleep alone, you know the temp is right. If they huddle together the bulb needs to be moved further away.
The depth and breadth of knowledge of Atriots never ceases to amaze me.

O yeah. My parents' pet deer at the trout farm almost killed a woman and would have if their dog hadn't driven him off. I was told he had some kind of instinctual antipathy for this particular person and she showed up when Mom and Dad were out. He stalked her and trapped her and had her on the ground and was beating her with his hooves.
We need to do something about Reid. He never follows through.

Good weekend to stay home and catch up on laundry.
I can never catch up on laundry. I'm single and live alone and I have never seen a totally empty laundry basket.
So, has anyone seen Bobby? Is it worth a $3.95 investment? How about The Good Shephard?
Woody misses us
Molly,
When son was in Montessori, they hatched a bunch of chicks. The kids were fascinated. Of course, then you need a chicken coop to keep them in as they get bigger.
I have the good shephard. I want to watch it tonight Allie. Instead, we are going to watch motherfucking snakes on a motherfucking plane.

Richard Rorty, the leading American philosopher and heir to the pragmatist tradition, passed away on Friday, June 8.
He was Professor of Comparative Literature emeritus at Stanford University. In April the American Philosophical Society awarded him the Thomas Jefferson Medal. The prize citation reads: "In recognition of his influential and distinctively American contribution to philosophy and, more widely, to humanistic studies. His work redefined knowledge 'as a matter of conversation and of social practice, rather than as an attempt to mirror nature' and thus redefined philosophy itself as an unending, democratically disciplined, social and cultural activity of inquiry, reflection, and exchange, rather than an activity governed and validated by the concept of objective, extramental truth."
At the awards ceremony, presenter Lionel Gossman celebrated Dr. Rorty as an advocate of "a deeply liberal, democratic, and truly American way of thinking about knowledge." Dr. Rorty's published works include Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature (1979), Consequences of Pragmatism (1982), Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity (198, Objectivity, Relativism and Truth: Philosophical Papers I (1991), Essays on Heidegger and Others: Philosophical Papers II (1991), Achieving Our Country: Leftist Thought in Twentieth Century America (199, Truth and Progress: Philosophical Papers III (199, and Philosophy and Social Hope (2000).
I have huge piles of laundry to do tomorrow and I rather like doing laundry. I've had my own washer and dryer now for over 22 years but I still remember the horror.
I also have my own washer and dryer. My washer is a Maytag and my dryer is a Sears Kenmore. Both are over 30 years old and have been trouble free. I highly recommend them.

Rorty was trying to bring together the analytic and continental traditions by showing how each camp was reaching the same conclusions. His work probably succeeded in getting both sides to be taken more seriously. It was not a critique of 'analytic' philosophy but a certain kind of tradition in philosophy.

Well that was a close call. Brother had someone take his lane on the freeway and swerved to avoid the idiot causing his 98 explorer to roll three or four times and land on it's feet. He calmly drove the battered hulk to the side of the road, shook the cobwebs from his head and walked away without a scratch. Course he got no car and a very stiff body, but he'll survive.

My 'Uncle' Johnny Watson was the single, sole Canadian rep for RCA records for years and years - ended up with the most astonishing LP collection you can imagine, vast - his audio room was about 20' square, floor to ceiling records. After he died, my Auntie Margie wondered whether or not I'd like the collection (forgetting we no longer owned Canadian Freightways and thus there was no means of transport) - but ultimately I got the stuff connected into a college in the northeast.
Johnny weren't no fool!

I was riding with a friend during my high school days, and the guys was zipping around the back roads where we lived just a little too quickly for my taste, so, for the first time, I click on a seat belt for the first time. About 10 minutes later he takes a turn a bit wide at something close to 70 (I only caught the speed out of the corner of my eye) and rolled the race over in a corn field about 3 times before we came to a stop on our wheels. The guy driving had snapped the wheel off in his hands, and just looked out through the windshield mumbling, "I always wondered what that was like."

It's amazing that we can laugh after death stares us in the face.
I was in some interesting wrecks when I was younger. Probably the strangest was (again) riding with someone who owned a Trans Am, and he lost control on a corner with a large hill/embankment, and took out the front end of an old garage that had been built into the side of the embankment. Right before we hit I slid down in my seat, and after everything was over there was a 4 X 4 sticking through the windshield on my side of the car. I always assumed that if I hadn't ducked I'd have caught that baby right in the face.
And then there was the drunk girl who hit me at 3 AM in the morning without another car around us for about 1 mile in any direction. She hit be broadside right behind the driver door and spun me around twice. A friend who was riding with me woke up (he'd been napping) and went, "Hey, quit fucking around!" I ended up with a bad case of whiplash from that one, and spent most of the next nine months wearing a neck brace.
I'd disagree - name of horse?
Red Rum.
Secretariat was bred to be an aristocrat, given the best training and attention that money could buy.
Red Rum was a guttersnipe, bred to run cheap sprints and hopefuly pay his way. His mother was insane and he had an incurable bone disease. His last trainer was a used car dealer.

maybe the best thing that ever happened to her if it causes her to pull her head out of her ass.
I'm sure once she's out a little $100,000 fee to show up at a club, get drunk and possibly gang fucked afterwards will mark her feel a whole lot better.

Outing the Out of Touch
By MAUREEN DOWD
WASHINGTON
Be honest. Who would you rather share a foxhole with: a gay soldier or Mitt Romney?
A gay soldier, of course. In a dicey situation like that, you need someone steadfast who knows who he is and what he believes, even if he’s not allowed to say it out loud.
Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue, as the gloriously gay Oscar Wilde said. And gays are the sacrifice that hypocritical Republican candidates offer to placate “values” voters — even though some candidates are not so finicky about morals regarding their own affairs and divorces.
They may coo over the photo of Dick Cheney, whose re-election campaign demonized gays, proudly smiling with his new grandson, the first baby of his lesbian daughter, Mary.
But they’ll hold the line, by jiminy, against gay Americans who are willing to die or be horribly disfigured in the cursed Bush/Cheney war in Iraq.
Peter Pace, whose job as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff became a casualty of Iraq on Friday, asserted in March that homosexual acts “are immoral.” Yet in May, he wrote a letter to the judge in the Scooter Libby case, pleading for leniency for the Cheney aide. Scooter always looked for “the right way to proceed — both legally and morally,” General Pace wrote of the man who lied to a grand jury about the outing of a spy, after he pumped up the fake case for the war that has claimed the lives of 3,500 young men and women serving under the general.
At the G.O.P. debate in New Hampshire last week, the contenders were more homophobic than the mobsters on “The Sopranos,” unanimously supporting the inane “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Even Rudy Giuliani, who loves to cross-dress and who stayed with old friends, a gay couple, to avoid Gracie Mansion when his second marriage was disintegrating, had an antediluvian answer.
Wolf Blitzer asked him about the Arabic linguists trained by the government who have been ousted from the military after being outed.
Mr. Giuliani, who procured three deferments to avoid Vietnam, replied that, with the war in Iraq raging, “This is not the time to deal with disruptive issues like this.”
If he’s so concerned with disruptive issues, maybe he should start worrying about this one: Two straight guys who slithered out of going to Vietnam are devising a losing strategy in Iraq year after year. W. and Dick Cheney have fouled things up so badly that Robert Gates and Tony Snow are now pointing to South Korea — where American troops have stayed for over half a century — as a model.
Mitt Romney agreed with Rudy on the issue. Instead of going to Vietnam, Mr. Romney spent two and a half years doing Mormon missionary work in France. Isn’t that like doing Peace Corps work in Monte Carlo?
At the memorial for Mark Bingham, the gay 6-foot-5 rugby player who was on Flight 93 on 9/11, John McCain said he might owe his life to the young man who helped fight the hijackers, bringing down the plane aiming to crash into the Capitol.
But Senator McCain wants gay troops to stay closeted. The policy, he said, is “working.” But it’s not. The Army in Iraq is like that exhausted nag Scarlett O’Hara whipped on to Tara. Yet Republicans surge on, even as they expel gays.
In a Times Op-Ed piece Friday, Stephen Benjamin, a gay Arabic translator eager to go to Iraq, told how he was dismissed when the Navy learned his status. “Consider,” he wrote. “More than 58 Arabic linguists have been kicked out since ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ was instituted. How much valuable intelligence could those men and women be providing today to troops in harm’s way?”
He noted that 11,000 other service members have been shoved out since 1993 and speculated that if the Army had not been so short of Arabic translators, the cables that went untranslated on Sept. 10, 2001, might have been translated, preventing 9/11.
In 2000, the British military began letting anyone who served say if they were “a poof,” as one squadron leader put it. Sarah Lyall wrote in The Times that the military reports that none of its fears “about harassment, discord, blackmail, bullying or an erosion of unit cohesion or military effectiveness have come to pass.”
America has been Will-and-Graced since Bill Clinton had his kerfuffle on the issue in 1993. Tolerance has blossomed, especially among younger Americans. According to a Pew poll, 4-in-10 Americans say they have close friends or relatives who are gay.
The Republican field seems stale and out of sync. They should have listened to the inimitable Barry Goldwater, who told it true: You don’t have to be straight to shoot straight.
"
I might infer that it's an indictment to the entire filthy rich community who rely on nannies to raise their kids for them. Family values my ass."
There is very little out there to counter that view.
Disregarding income, the thing to me is the differences between the one percenters and the middle class joe are becoming vast. This makes it much more uncomfortable I would imagine. If you were discussing the differences between the lower income to poverty level originally, the middle class was sort of a buffer. Now, they are feeling the distance as well.

Here's Red Rum's first Grand National.
The horse I was betting on fell at The Chair, BTW.
Red Rum isn't even part of the race until half-way, with Crisp (the crowd's favourite) opening up a 20 length lead. As Rummie makes his way through the pack to second Crisp is still out in front by almost 2 fences and jumping well. After the last fence Crisp is still well in the lead, but he's exausted... and then Red Rum decides to get serious.

'Yes sir,' Bush says to His Holiness in Vatican gaffe
AFP
Published: Saturday June 9, 2007
US President George W. Bush drew gasps at the Vatican on Saturday by referring to Pope Benedict XVI as "sir" instead of the expected "His Holiness," pool reporters said.
They could clearly hear the US leader say "Yes, sir" when the pope asked him if he was going to meet with officials of the lay Catholic Sant'Egidio community at the US embassy later during his visit.
A handful of pool reporters were on hand as Benedict greeted Bush at the door of his private library ahead of a private audience of about half an hour.
On his way to see the 80-year-old pontiff, the US leader apparently recognised someone he knew, and could be heard greeting the person with a casual "How ya doin'?"
The pool reporters also noted Bush's relaxed posture, crossing his legs "Texan style" while facing the pope across his desk in the private study of the apostolic palace.
I added a pic of Nancy to the text of her speech.
Now I'm going to work on getting some more pics posted, including one I took of Janet Reno.
"Doom Brothers’ Pollster, Nick L. Slots says..."
I hope we can look forward to a visit from my favorite authority, Dr. Reason A. Goodwin!
Also, Dave, I answered your question at my place about my brief interview with Bill Nelson.
I told him I was a blogger, but I don't know whether he knew what that meant.
I miss Billmon. Wish he would occasionally even post once a month if the urge struck him.

It does reflect Bush's ignorance, and the incompetence of his handlers whose job it is to help the jerk avoid this sort of thing, but to this non-believer, the Pope isn't His Holiness. Doubt that's the statement Bush was trying to make, of course...

I'm not a big fan of Pope Palpatine, but he should be referred to as "your Holiness". It's only right. If Bush insists on being called President, he should refer to world leaders by their appropriate titles. Don't call President Putin "Vladimir". It's just not appropriate!

TAYLORS, S.C. - Sen. Sam Brownback (news, bio, voting record), campaigning for president Saturday before the National Catholic Men's Conference, questioned whether rape victims should get abortions.
"Rape is terrible. Rape is awful. Is it made any better by killing an innocent child? Does it solve the problem for the woman that's been raped?" the Kansas Republican asked at the St. Joseph's Covenant Keepers gathering.
"We need to protect innocent life. Period," Brownback said, bringing the crowd of about 500 to its feet.

Gout
Gout is a disease due to a congenital disorder of uric acid metabolism. In this condition, monosodium urate or uric acid crystals are deposited on the articular cartilage of joints, tendons and surrounding tissues due to elevated concentrations of uric acid in the blood stream. This provokes an inflammatory reaction of these tissues. These deposits often increase in size and burst through the skin to form sinuses discharging a chalky white material.

Not to argue, but that is what Internal man would be saying. External guy would be deferential because *I* have a little class. I would do the same thing if *I* met the Pope.

Point taken.
Many still believe that gout is caused by a combination of dietary factors and "laziness". In particular, many believe that gout develops following several years of excessive alcohol consumption combined with an ongoing lack of physical activity and a diet completely lacking in purine-neutralising foods, such as berries, as well as other specific fruit and vegetables
been thinking about what I would say if I met bush - and I think i would try to avoid meeting bush in order to avoid the temptation. If forced to meet the bitch I would try to be polite, and leave as soon as i could.
If he said one of his patented dumb fuck "don't sell it on e bay" things I would go off to the point at I might make international news.
Re: meeting Bush. Actually, I would turn my back and walk away.
What I have to say to that man is so fowl that I couldn't say it.
As for Brownback, we should have some women's group protesting him at every campaign event.
However, I don't think I could stomach being in the same room with him and I don't think I could plaster a smile on my face and act like I like him.
That would be me. If I were, under duress, forced to share space with him, I could not be held responsible. I don't think I could choke it back, manners or no. He has no frakking manners, to be sure. I would feel no compulsion.
that is what Internal man would be saying. External guy would be deferential because *I* have a little class.
In Bush's case, Internal Man and External Guy would be in complete agreement. "Class"? Bush? Fuck him.
Though if I really wanted to make his life miserable, I'd unleash my wife on him. She'd cut his balls off in three seconds.
Well, good for you!
Mr French
Actually, Mr French, if you had been paying attention and followed the logic it lead back to the impostor in chief and his insulting the pope. I was not trying to say anything about anyone other than him. I agree with you in principle, I just don't think I could do it.

I have heard that when Chuck Yeager went to the white house to get some sort of award his father, who hated democrats, would not smile and act nice. there is a precident.
Gout has four distinct stages:
1. asymptomatic,
2. acute,
3. intercritical,
4. chronic.
I would probably refuse to meet either Bush or the Pope. And I find grating the idea of respecting the office. That seems like some vague old-European piece of nonsense. And it enables the kind of garbage that Broder and Quinn produced about the Clintons. I don't think one needs "offices" in a secular, humanist world. Quinn and Broder had more afffinity for offices than orifices.
I'd be cool with the Pope, though, if he gave me a ride in the Popemobile.
Actually, I felt bad for the old Pope once - he came to San Francisco about 20 years ago and everyone made such a big deal about how his appearance would cause huge traffic jams that when he rode in the Popemobile from the Golden Gate Bridge to an appearance at Candlestick, the streets were literally deserted.
ThinlyVeiled, hi. Think of you often. Hope you are doing okay.

Hi, Mer! I'm here in and out, usually too quick around here for me to say much. I'm doing well. We bought our Dream House (think: Addams Family) in Feb., and things are chugging along. How's by you?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_wine
Gout was traditionally viewed as a disease of the decadent and indolent, because the foods which contribute to its development were only available in quantity to the wealthy. The stereotypical victim was a lazy, obese middle-aged man who habitually overindulged in rich foods and alcohol, with port wine consumption often cited as a specific cause. This stereotype is especially evident when gout is referred to as "The Disease of Kings".

Goodnight, sleepy heads.
I think this gay bomb thing is the fevered delusion of a homophobe that pictures gays a flouncing weaklings that just want to interior decorate.
It's based on the military homophobe notion that gays cannot stop thinking about sex. All the time. They're deathly afraid they'll be checked out in the communal showers, or assaulted in their bunks, or something.
Or, perhaps, that the tables will be turned and they'll be treated like sexual prey, which is how many soldiers treat women.

Have you ever heard the Ken Nordine piece about the guy who gets turned inside out?
Dr. Demento, every Halloween.
Well, luckily, Bush has less interest in meeting me than I have in meeting him so the chances of us meeting are slim and none.
But as for hating the prick: I would measure mine against anyone's. To tell the truth my contempt and disgust for this man is threatening to consume my life and that is not only sick, it is disgusting.
For our military to take accomplished Middle East linguists offline right now because they are gay, should be a Vegas neon sign to everyone that this "war on terror" is an enormous load of horseshit.
I have to admit, whenever I see Americans bowing or curtseying to the Queen, I'm appalled. Have they no sense of history? Jaysus. It's okay if her subjects do that, but did we not have a Revolution? Huh?
It's based on the military homophobe notion that gays cannot stop thinking about sex.

Despite the fact that Bush is still president, I'm doing okay. Sounds like some kind of mansion you acquired. Hope it's not haunted.
mer, I still check on Billmon too. Yes, I will miss Gilly, but I really do miss Billmon most of all.

DWD,
I refuse to show respect to a murderous sociopath, it's that simple. He's only president now because he and his insidious cohorts stole two elections, and I would not be afraid look into his beady eyes and tell him to fuck off.
Like I said, that's just me.
Hope it's not haunted.

Hauntings can be cured.
Throughout history, I am told by those more educated than I, gays have been specifically sought out for military service (think ancient Greek and Roman militaries, for example). It was thought to be advantageous as they had no wives or children at home about whom to be anxious while they warred, and those in charge thought that men who were "smitten" with each other as opposed to some sweetheart back home would fight more fiercely in defense of their lovers. So, what's the big deal now?
Cosmic, is this you?

When we were trying to break the Japanese and German military codes in WWII, do you think they gave two fucks if the folks who could do that in the shortest amount of time were gay?!

So I just took a look at the headlines, and they mention tens of thousands of anti-American protesters in the streets of Rome.
I'd bet they aren't so much anti-American as anti-Bush Administration.
I'm not gay and I can't stop thinking about sex. What does this mean? Am I conflicted?
One of the fun things about the military homophobe notion is that a LOT of soldiers who are straight can't stop thinking about sex, which I noted waaaay upthread.
There's a lot of projection going on with this crap. Then there's the closet thing. Then there's the very sad denial of professionalism thing that goes on. A professional soldier will park his raging desire to get laid over on the side and concentrate on his job while on duty, and that should not matter if he's gay or straight.
The other problem is that there's a tacit acceptance of a lot of homoeroticism that is kept sublimated, and bringing it out in the open scares the hell out of some soldiers.
They might actually find they like it, you see...
Alan Turing, the greatest codebreaker of them all, was gay.

I rather hope it is, but so far, I've seen no signs. It's not a mansion, but it is a big, old, rambling house with lots of nooks and crannies for me and the kitties. Quite comfortable, if a bit much to keep tidy.

..the most interesting aspect of this coverage is the photo of Paris crying in the squad car, that you can see if you sign on to AOL right now. The credit line for the photo reads Nick Ut.
Nick Ut is famous for an iconic photograph he took during the Viet Nam war-- of the little girl running down the road covered in napalm. I think he won a Pulitzer for that image.
And the photos are exactly 35 years apart. Really freaky.

Anyways, I have the recipe.

Well, yes.
I served in a variety of units, and I can tell you, the troops think about sex all the fucking time. Not that it does them much good, even if there are women in the unit. They've got work to do, and the work does not involve sex.
So, even if something DID turn the other side gay, chances are they'd still be fighting, because when you're getting shelled, you're not worrying about sex.
You're worrying about staying alive.
I'm not gay and I can't stop thinking about sex.

Alan Turing, the greatest codebreaker of them all, was gay.
Unfortunately, he was persecuted for it...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Ala...uring.27s_death
Turing was homosexual[2] in a period when homosexual acts were illegal in Britain and homosexuality was regarded as a mental illness. In 1952, Arnold Murray, a 19-year-old recent acquaintance of his[16] helped an accomplice to break into Turing's house, and Turing went to the police to report the crime. As a result of the police investigation, Turing acknowledged a sexual relationship with Murray, and they were charged with gross indecency under Section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885. Turing was unrepentant and was convicted. He was given the choice between imprisonment and probation, conditional on him undergoing hormonal treatment designed to reduce libido. In order to avoid going to jail, he accepted the oestrogen hormone injections, which lasted for a year, with side effects including gynecomastia (breast enlargement). His conviction led to a removal of his security clearance and prevented him from continuing consultancy for GCHQ on cryptographic matters.
On 8 June 1954, his cleaner found his lifeless body; the previous day, he had died of cyanide poisoning, apparently from a cyanide-laced apple he left half-eaten beside his bed. The apple itself was never tested for contamination with cyanide, and cyanide poisoning as a cause of death was established by a post-mortem. Most believe that his death was intentional, and the death was ruled a suicide. His mother, however, strenuously argued that the ingestion was accidental due to his careless storage of laboratory chemicals. Biographer Andrew Hodges suggests that Turing may have killed himself in this ambiguous way quite deliberately, to give his mother some plausible deniability.[17] Because Turing's homosexuality would have been perceived as a security risk, the possibility of assassination has also been suggested.[18] His remains were cremated at Woking crematorium on 12 June 1954.

Turing described the fundamental mechanics of a modern computer, or MP3 player, or iPhone, in the mid-1930's.
The Report of the Departmental Committee on Homosexual Offences and Prostitution (better known as the Wolfenden report, after Lord Wolfenden, the chairman of the committee) was published in Britain on September 3, 1957 after a succession of well-known men, including Peter Wildeblood, were convicted of homosexual offences.
Laffin' my ass cleeeeeean off.
Oh, man. How do you make the laughing til you piss your pants smilie???
Thanks watertiger for the hariy fish nuts.
The committee first met on 15 September 1954 and met on 62 days, 32 of which were used for interviewing witnesses. Evidence was heard from police and probation officers, psychiatrists, religious leaders, and gay men whose lives had been affected by the law.

But the clever Brits fired and persecuted Turing for queerness, thus allowing the US to dominate the computer industry.
The Wolfenden report's publication was a turning point in the legalization of homosexuality in Western countries, all of which have now legalized homosexuality and homosexual acts (most have also equalised the age of consent between homosexual and heterosexual acts, and have enacted anti-discrimination and same-sex partnership laws).

as the turing machine, a mathematical abstraction that can be described as a read/write pushdown automaton.
that is, it can read a symbol, make a calculation, rewrite the 'tape', and 'push' the tape down a step.
believe it or not, the paper describing this in the 1930's was one of the foundations of computer 'science'

Does your Siamese make more of a "Nang" sound, or is it more "Ohhhh, wooo"
And in this age of heroes, Alan Turing's efforts played a significant part in the downfall of the Nazi hegemony. Yet rare is the person who has ever heard of him.

I want to leave Benningan's, too.
There's an old song -- I don't remember the name -- something about 'wise men say only fools rush in'
for the longest time I thought it was 'wise men say only fools run sheep'
I was so confused.
So, I've had this kitten for almost two weeks now, and I still don't know what to call her. I thought Renfield, as Old Man Cat is called Vlad (after The Impaler, long story), and she fawns after him so, but it seems too stuffy for her bouncy personality.
I think I have some cream for Paris Hilton's rash.

My suggestion for a name...Damn cute one, I might add.
Does your Siamese make more of a "Nang" sound, or is it more "Ohhhh, wooo"
It's a whining sound. Sort of like how I imagine Moe sounds when people say he isn't canadian enough.
Derek Jaccoby played Turning in a BBC/Masterpiece Theatre production back in the late '80's-early '90's.
Sorry, don't remember the title.
