Good Morning all Happy Eschacon
wish me well, I'm going to the county convention today and am a nominee for State
that's why they call him Dick.
good luck realkitty; and I dont care which Demo you like.
they have no shame.
If I get to State I may even get to National...now that would be cool
thanks peterboy...I'm an Obama delegate. The dirty trix are really going on in TX. The HC people have been sending out emails telling Obama people tht the conventions have been cancelled. Nice, eh? She can't win TX why doesn't she give it up?
Then, Cheney had the gall to say Dumbya has made the greatest sacrifice in this war -- greater than those who gave their lives. We will be well rid of the blights on humanity.
maybe they could be taken duck hunting?
lord plantsman, you are up early.
Germany: Naumann splitting the left up
Germany: Social Dem Naumann moves to a clearer destinction from the ex-communists: He was unwilling to form a coalition out of ex-communists, ecos and Social Democrats in Hamburg for his dislike of the ex-communists. It had devestating consequences in Hessia.

Feingold tells Obama fans to 'cool it'
By Robert Mentzer
Wausau Daily Herald
rmentzer@wdhprint.com
The fight for the Democratic nomination for president has gotten personal in recent days, but U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold is urging calm.
"I'll tell some of the (Barack) Obama supporters here today: Cool it," Feingold, D-Middleton, said Wednesday to a group of about 50 people at the University of Wisconsin Marathon County. "Take it a little easy."
Feingold voted for Obama in the primary

Asking a Judge to Save the World, and Maybe a Whole Lot More
By DENNIS OVERBYE
More fighting in Iraq. Somalia in chaos. People in this country can’t afford their mortgages and in some places now they can’t even afford rice.
None of this nor the rest of the grimness on the front page today will matter a bit, though, if two men pursuing a lawsuit in federal court in Hawaii turn out to be right. They think a giant particle accelerator that will begin smashing protons together outside Geneva this summer might produce a black hole that will spell the end of the Earth — and maybe the universe.
Scientists say that is very unlikely — though they have done some checking just to make sure.
The world’s physicists have spent 14 years and $8 billion building the Large Hadron Collider, in which the colliding protons will recreate energies and conditions last seen a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang. Researchers will sift the debris from these primordial recreations for clues to the nature of mass and new forces and symmetries of nature.
But Walter L. Wagner and Luis Sancho contend that scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, have played down the chances that the collider could produce, among other horrors, a tiny black hole, which, they say, could eat the Earth. Or it could spit out something called a “strangelet” that would convert our planet to a shrunken dense dead lump of something called “strange matter.” Their suit also says CERN has failed to provide an environmental impact statement as required under the National Environmental Policy Act.
I'm thinking Jeffraham is rather unorthodox.
But there's a lot of that goin' on around here.
Gotta head downstairs. If there's wifi, I'll be back.
my buddy married a greek woman when he was 45. she insisted on having kids to make her mom happy and proceeded to deliver trips! now they are 15, he is 60 and he can't wait to get off his leash and leave for work in the morning.

Huh, wha?
"Volunteering" has a whole different meaning when you're not part of the wealthy ruling class. Of course, some of the volunteers were not doing it out of economic necessity, but rather out of patriotism. But whatever the motive, the desire to better their lives, or sacrifice for their country, neither Bush or Cheney ever felt anything close to these soldiers' very real impulses. And that is the problem.

War Hero McCain releases new ad.
In the ad, images of McCain then and now are overlayed with newspaper headlines that call him a hero.
"What must a President believe about us? About America? That she is worth protecting? That liberty is priceless?" asks the narrator. "And, what must we believe about that President? What does he think? Where has he been? Has he walked the walk?"
The ad concludes with footage of McCain as a young Naval aviator being interviewed as he lays in a hospital bed after being shot down and tortured in Vietnam.
What does Galloway know?

How I envy those conventioneers!

quickly with wind energy
iowa is getting big into wind energy; and reading some of the local coverage, there was a story about a rural school district that produces its own electricity, saving the district tens of thousands of dollars in annual energy costs.
just read yesterday that staten island is proposing a former landfill be turned into a windfarm. there are alot of state initiatives underway that are encouraging.

Broder busy fluffing up McCain
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...8032802823.html
Obama, the leading Democratic presidential candidate, criticized but did not repudiate his ties with his former pastor...
In an equally significant address to the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, McCain, the certain Republican nominee, refused to back off his support for remaining in Iraq but put that decision in a broader context of American foreign policy, outlining a vastly different approach from President Bush's and one that might heal the wounds left here at home and abroad by the past seven years.
Like Obama's address, this McCain speech is worthy of careful study and analysis. It began with a note that only a warrior such as McCain could choose -- a declaration by the son and grandson of combat veterans and the survivor of a Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp that "I detest war" as only a man who has experienced its horrors can do.
Gonna be gardening season here in the beautiful NC foothills. The local hardware store has put up the outdoor display racks for plants, although it's not quite time to put the plants out.
It's cold and rainy today, though. But we need the rain.
paulson is proposing sweeping DFH regulations for teh financials, merging teh SEC& FTC:
A sweeping proposed overhaul of U.S. financial regulation is to be unveiled by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on Monday, according to reports.
The plan would give new powers to the Federal Reserve to be the primary regulator of market stability, with authority over all parts of the financial services industry.
As such, it would have powers to gather market information on a wide range of institutions to so it can better act as an early warning system against threats to the financial system.
The Fed's present remit extends only to commercial banks.
The new role is a response to the problems in the financial system that has been highlighted by the present credit crisis, and formalizes the one that the Fed as been playing since the crisis hit last August.
The plan is also understood to include merging the Securities and Exchange Commission with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and to provide for tightened regulation of mortgage origination.
Two more pieces of proof of McCain being a sellout: his fairly consistent support of Bush's policies on Gitmo, and his failure to eviscerate the administration concerning Abu Ghraib. In North Vietnam he caved to his captors. Here he has caved to his ambitions.
JR-- we got 15 or 20 centimetres last night. This time last year, I had my garden in.

People like war more than they're willing to admit. William James' essay, calling for finding 'the moral equivalent of war' in something actually useful rather than destructive, remains a very interesting read, all these years later:
Modern war is so expensive that we feel trade to be a better avenue to plunder; but modern man inherits all the innate pugnacity and all the love of glory of his ancestors. Showing war's irrationality and horror is of no effect on him. The horrors make the fascination. War is the strong life; it is life in extremis; war taxes are the only ones men never hesitate to pay, as the budgets of all nations show us.
History is a bath of blood. The Illiad is one long recital of how Diomedes and Ajax, Sarpedon and Hector killed. No detail of the wounds they made is spared us, and the Greek mind fed upon the story. Greek history is a panorama of jingoism and imperialism — war for war's sake, all the citizen's being warriors. It is horrible reading — because of the irrationality of it all — save for the purpose of making "history" — and the history is that of the utter ruin of a civilization in intellectual respects perhaps the highest the earth has ever seen.
...The martial type of character can be bred without war. Strenuous honor and disinterestedness abound everywhere. Priests and medical men are in a fashion educated to it, and we should all feel some degree if its imperative if we were conscious of our work as an obligatory service to the state. We should be owned, as soldiers are by the army, and our pride would rise accordingly. We could be poor, then, without humiliation, as army officers now are. The only thing needed henceforward is to inflame the civic temper as part history has inflamed the military temper.
