GravatarJC Flowers, the US private equity firm, made a last-ditch bid yesterday to wreck Sir Richard Branson's takeover of Northern Rock after it signalled possible increased payouts for shareholders as part of a revised offer.

The move is likely to heighten tensions between the three main bidders for the bank and the Treasury, which is thought to be keen on a quick sale to close the door on the politically and financially embarrassing episode.

Sources close to Flowers said attempts to sit down with Treasury officials this week had proved fruitless, despite promises from the government that all takeover proposals would be examined.

The Treasury denied last night that it was reluctant to engage in talks with the Flowers team. "We stand ready to have discussions with any bidder that meets the principles we set out," it said.

Found this through a link over at Phila's place. This company will send one solar powered flashlight to a developing country for every one bought by us'ns.

You can choose to some extent which organization will distribute your BOGO light(s).

$25--you get to give a good thing for the environment (and self--like having a flashlight in the car which will always work--if you remember to put it in the sun) and getting a flashlight to people in an area where the only light at night is from kerosene and other carbon based and somewhat dangerous sources.

This company is working on an orbe which will illuminiate an entire room. Sounds cool. No real info yet.

GravatarI have to rephrase my earlier post. I did see the Fred Thompson "Lazy like a Fox" article, and I just had to read it, because I had to confirm what I suspected.

It basically was telling us that Fred gives the impression that he's lazy and stupid and dumb, but he's really smart, intelligent, and funny.

It sounded like the article they would have wrote for Allen and took out Allen's name and put Fred's name in there.

In a normal world, it would be a joke. But in the Newsweek world, being lazy is a good thing.

In Thompson's early days of campaigning, he was asked questions about certain world events, and he kept saying "he didn't know about that, or he doesn't keep up on things like that", like he was playing the role of "I'm just a good old boy who doesn't read and just likes to sit on the front porch whittling a piece of wood".

It's the same thing that Bush did, but it isn't working this time.

George the Impaler, Vampire Baron of Will.


GravatarWell, to be fair to Card, here's what he said:

After being sent Rove's comments, Card said he did not want to argue with him. He said he recalled much discussion in the White House about whether it was wise to seek a congressional vote before deciding it would demonstrate American unity. But asked if the White House opposed having the vote before the election, he said, "I don't remember that. I don't remember it being done in the context of the election."

And, as the article points out:

News accounts and transcripts at the time show Bush arguing against delay. Asked on Sept. 13, 2002, about Democrats who did not want to vote until after the U.N. Security Council acted, Bush said, "If I were running for office, I'm not sure how I'd explain to the American people -- say, 'Vote for me, and, oh, by the way, on a matter of national security, I think I'm going to wait for somebody else to act.' "

'Course, as Rove knows, a lie is halfway 'round the world before Truth can get its boots on.

Or it could be he is working on the next pitch. Let's see: "Hillary and other democrats supported the war and rushed us into it, before The Leader could assemble the Coalition. Then, as illustrated by numerous of her statements, she supported a hopeless policy. Now that we finally have a working strategy, however, she is edging away from her prior support to mollify the defeatocrat base."
Well, they've sold bigger piles of shit before.

GravatarHere's the view from not too far from here.


GravatarGeez, how typical this is:

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration is laying out a new secrecy defense in an effort to end a court battle about the White House visits of now-imprisoned lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

The administration agreed last year to produce all responsive records about the visits "without redactions or claims of exemption," according to a court order.

But in a court filing Friday night, administration lawyers said that the Secret Service has identified a category of highly sensitive documents that might contain information sought in a lawsuit about Abramoff's trips to the White House.


Eventually, people are going to get sick of this shit and resort to pitchforks and torches.

GravatarShe went from Gabriel Byrne to THIS clown?

Ellen Barkin's agents have fired back at ex-husband and Revlon cosmetics mogul Ronald Perelman, calling his lawsuit against the actress and her brother "a cynical abuse of the legal system."

Perelman, 63, sued Barkin and her brother George in New York on Wednesday, claiming they siphoned money from a film production company they formed together and used it to create a competing company and pay George Barkin $250,000 a year.

Perelman and Barkin, 53, divorced in 2006. She sued him in August, saying he had failed to keep an agreement made before their divorce to fund the company they created, Applehead I, with $3.4 million. Barkin and her brother continue to operate the production company.

Chris Taylor, a spokeswoman for Perelman, issued a statement Wednesday saying Barkin's lawsuit to get money for Applehead I was an attempt "to further enrich herself."

A spokeswoman for Applehead issued a statement Thursday calling Perelman's lawsuit "frivolous," "without merit" and "yet another attempt to avoid honoring his written contract to contribute more than $3 million to Applehead Pictures."

"The fact is, Applehead only has money because others stepped in to contribute what Perelman wrongfully withheld," the statement says. "Perelman's cynical abuse of the legal system is disappointing, but not surprising."

GravatarFReeper sez Hillary hostage crisis was contrived:

Of course the “crisis” was manufactured.

Herself, the Cold and Joyless, has to show “fearlessness in the face of adversity”, so this whole fiasco was staged, in some obscure storefront “embassy” at a great distance from where Herself was caught in some memory lapse. For several days, Herself will escape scrutiny and not have to directly confront questions about other much more pressing issues.

But in real life, some five years down the road, how will Herself deal with the adverse occupancy of some US embassy in a distant land, with whom we already have strained relations?

We know how well Jimmy Carter dealt with a similar situation.


Heh heh heh. The Hildabeast put one over on you schlubs again.

Blueberry Grunt
2 (15 ounce) cans blueberries
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
DIRECTIONS:
1. Pour blueberries and their juice into a 10 inch iron skillet or kettle. Stir in sugar. Cook until juice begins to boil, and lower heat.
2. In medium mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder, lemon rind, spices, and salt. Stir in milk until dry particles are just moistened. Drop dough by spoonfuls (8 dumplings) on top of simmering berry mixture, and cover skillet. Cook over medium-low heat until dough is puffed and cooked through. Serve dumplings with berry sauce and cold cream.

GravatarA commission tasked with setting a demarcated border between Ethiopia and Eritrea has dissolved amid continuing tensions between the two countries.

The Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC), which was charged with setting a border both on maps and on the ground, ended its mandate on Saturday.

Ethiopia and Eritrea had opted not to allow the commission, which was set up by the Hague-based Permanent Court of Arbitration, to stay on past its November-end deadline.

In 2002, the EEBC granted Eritrea the border town of Badme, a decision that Ethiopia has not accepted.
