Since I'm a liberal, I have many eeeevil activities to keep me busy.

Oui.
Boredom is overrated anyway.

When McCain opposes his own legislation
Posted February 2nd, 2008 at 11:15 am
Over the last year or so, when John McCain was struggling to get his presidential campaign back on track, one of his more notable challenges was reinventing himself — again.
When he got to Congress, McCain was a rather conventional conservative Republican. After his role in the Keating Five scandal, McCain took on a reform-minded persona. By 1999, he was a self-described “maverick” and moderate, who would move the GOP to the center. By 2004, McCain was back to being a conservative again. By 2007, he had positioned himself as an establishment Republican, and when that didn’t work out, McCain decided he’d become some kind of hybrid of the various McCains of the recent past.
If I didn’t know better, I’d say McCain has very few core values, and is willing to shift with the wind to get ahead. It’s one of the reasons he’s flip-flopped all over the place throughout the campaign.
This became especially clear the other night at the Republican debate in Simi Valley, when McCain was asked whether he’d vote for the immigration-reform legislation he introduced in 2006. He responded that the bill won’t come to the floor of the Senate. Of course, that wasn’t the question.

nacirema is 'american' spelled backwards. the essays in the book try to puzzle out why the nacirema put so much effort in to serving their cars, which must have had some powerful magical significance since it would seem to have been so impractical for the nacirema to maintain expensive machines that spew poison
they also study the porcelin lined ritual chapels found in all nacirema homes, with their magic brush sticks and many ritual potions

AP:
...For starters, his budget contains no war costs beyond 2009 and fails to address the huge cost of keeping more and more taxpayers from feeling the bite of the alternative minimum tax.
Bush's budget plan will also, on average, freeze most domestic programs funded by Congress each year. Since departments such as Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security will be getting increases, that means other agencies would bear difficult cuts.
The budget for the Health and Human Services Department, for example, would be reduced by almost 3 percent under the Bush budget plan to be released Monday.
The $2 billion in HHS cuts are about double the size of the reductions Bush sought last year; Democrats controlling Congress rejected them. Congress is ultimately likely to reject the cuts again, but the White House played a tough hand in last year's budget battle and the gulf between the two could mean gridlock that would tie up the agency's budget until Bush's successor
takes office. The cuts would hit HHS programs funded by Congress each year.
These reductions would be in addition to almost $200 billion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid over the next five years that administration officials acknowledge
are in Bush's budget. Much of the savings would come from freezing reimbursement rates for most health care providers for three years.
Congress rejected a smaller package of cuts last year, and there's no reason to think they would rise to the challenge in an election year. The proposed savings from Medicare and Medicaid are about three times the cuts proposed last year.
Within HHS programs, Bush would eliminate a $302 million program that gives grants to children's hospitals to subsidize medical education. A $300 million program for public health improvement projects would be eliminated, while grants to improve health care in rural areas would be cut by 87 percent.
The Centers for Disease Control's budget would face a 7 percent reduction of $433 million. The budget for a program to treat and monitor the health of first
responders and others exposed to toxins at the World Trade Center after the Sept. 11 attacks would be cut by 77 percent, from $108 million this year to $25 million in 2009.
The National Institutes of Health, which funds health research grants, would see its budget frozen at $29.5 billion. A program providing grants to help mental health and substance abuse providers update their treatment programs would be cut almost in half. Bush also would
eliminate a new $49 million program to help states provide health insurance to people who are ailing and cannot obtain health insurance in the commercial market.
There are a few increases, however. The Food and Drug Administration would receive a 6 percent boost to $2.4 billion to ramp up food and drug safety efforts.
Head Start would receive a 2 percent increase to $7 billion. Abstinence education programs popular with social conservatives would get a 25 percent increase to
$137 million. At the same time, a popular program that provides heating subsidies to the poor would be cut by $570 million, to $2 billion.
As expected, the budget would eliminate the $654 million Community Services Block Grant program, which provides seed money for community action agencies that help the poor. That cut was proposed last year, but Congress rejected it on a bipartisan basis.
Within the Education Department, Title I grants, the main source of federal funding for poor students, would get $14.3 billion, about a 3 percent increase from this year, under the administration's proposal. About half of the nation's schools, and two-thirds of elementary schools, receive Title I funding. The administration proposes to spend about $11.3 billion for special education services for students with disabilities, an increase of roughly $330 million.

Of course not. But I never expect that. And when I do find such a candidate, generally they're piss-poor politicians who could never follow through anyway.
LOLCats for Obama
Try this.
Newspapers would be a lot more valuable if they realized that incidental news coverage is out of their domain now. With TV and the Internet, there's just no way that a paper that comes out once a day is going to be able to satisfy peoples' need for current information. If they focused instead on creating more in-depth coverage (which may no longer be possible with the rise of blogs), rather than reprinting the same AP wire stories that every other paper (and Internet news site) is printing, they could provide real value. Something in between current news and magazines, which is about what their publishing cycle is best equipped to cover.

"Boortz blames Katrina on ‘parasites’ in ‘New Orleans.’On his nationally syndicated radio show this week, right-wing talker Neal Boortz attacked victims of Hurricane Katrina, saying that “the disaster that followed” was not “George Bush’s fault” because, in Boortz’ mind, “the primary blame goes on the worthless parasites who lived in New Orleans who you — couldn’t even wipe themselves, let alone get out of the way of the water when that levee broke.” Earlier in the same show, Boortz claimed that “when these Katrina so-called refugees were scattered about the country, it was just a glorified episode of putting out the garbage.”"

Newspapers would be a lot more valuable if they realized that incidental news coverage is out of their domain now.
Actually I disagree with that, at least for newspapers in markets large enough to support a web presence.
Yes, they should do the indepth stuff, but they also should own the local coverage, and be agressive about posting it to the web in real time.
My local paper does that, and pretty successfully.
In its ideological struggle against Al-Qaeda, American anti-terrorist strategy too often overlooks the basic tenets of the infamous Chinese warlord Sun Tzu, namely: know your enemy.
That is the fixed view of leading analysts, who conclude that through ignorance of the enemy it faces, ignorance of its nature, its goals, its strengths and its weaknesses, the United States is condemned to failure.
"The attention of the US military and intelligence community is directed almost uniformly towards hunting down militant leaders or protecting US forces, (and) not towards understanding the enemy we now face," said Bruce Hoffman, a professor at Georgetown University, Washington DC.
"This is a monumental failing not only because decapitation strategies have rarely worked in countering mass-mobilisation terrorist or insurgent campaigns, but also because Al-Qaeda's ability to continue this struggle is based absolutely on its capacity to attract new recruits and replenish its resources.
"Without knowing our enemy, we cannot fulfill the most basic requirements of an effective counter-terrorist strategy: pre-empting and preventing terrorist operations and deterring their attacks," Hoffman added.

Frankly, looking at the state of technology today, why would anyone imagine daily newspapers could be a viable medium? When was the last time you decided to buy something based on a newspaper ad? Heck, it's got to have been years since I even saw a newspaper ad.
Good on her, but when is Molly gonna have time for office?

Yes. I wanted to make sure it's clear because a lot of people dissociate themselves from the government when it is very much a WE. Saying 'they' makes all the responsibility somebody else's.
It's also a little thing Republicans have taught people, separate the people from the government and make the state and government separate institutions.
I think panic about the election is setting in for real.

Trolls can't read, so they're having some trouble grasping the cold, hard truth.
The war will end once the Bush Depression is in full swing.
I agree that the U.S. will exit Iraq only after the debacle has become too expensive for the overall system, not just too detrimental to the standing of individual politicians or their parties.

There are still many people who use them for that, believe it or not. There are still many people who don't use the Internet at all. But that is changing.
Are they unprofitable, or just not as profitable as the bean counters like?
Wouldn't it be nice if the object were high quality reportage and financial sustainability, rather than 30% margin and to hell with the product?
Newspapers actually still make a fair profit, but not as high as other firms do. So when shares are traded like that the owners of the newspapers insist on more missing white women and more tits.

Practically speaking (or pragmatically speaking, take your pick), one does not start out by running for national office unless one has a family name that is recognizable.
State legislatures, local school boards, city councils are not bad starting places, especially for those who are not wealthy.

When I return home to visit my family, I notice that they very, very often say "They" should do this or that. I am constantly asking who "they" are. I believe it has gotten so deep into the language that often people don't even know exactly to whom they are referring.
back again:
"Not as low as the dweebs in the steams, who have thousands of dollars of gear with them, and can't cast a fly more than 10'."
those are called 'customers'.
I much prefer reading the newspaper as opposed to reading news online. But I ended up cancelling the local newspaper because it was just so worthless. But for scanning for information it's a much much faster medium. Not to mention reading baseball box scores, which are crap online, when you have to click and click and click and wait for the ads to load and all that.

Don't give me outs. I'm firmly decided on this starvation diet for now.
I'll have to give you my recipe for healthy oatmeal cookies.
Preheat oven to 375.
In a large bowl,cream 1 & 1/2 sticks of butter in a cup and a half of brown or raw sugar.beat in three eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. set aside for moment.
In another bowl, put 1 & 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, and 2 cups of oatmeal. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon each of ground cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Put in 1 teaspoon of baking soda. mix well.
Blend in gradualy that mixture into the creamed butter sugar mix. Stir into that a cup of (in almost any combination) of rasins, dried: apricots, nuts, figs, prunes, apples
spoon out onto baking pan and cook approximately 12 minutes. Check often after about 11 minutes to see if done.
recipe claims this makes 4 doz, but with the size of cookies I make, I only get about 16.
Have a nice night. Dinner beckons.
Peace.
Love ya, NTodd.
I think it was pedantic. I get your point; I'm sorry I didn't use the collective "we" instead of they, but every post I make here is not going to be perfect.
Look, it wasn't a comment about you, or editing, or anything. You had a few other errors that I didn't point out. That one is very important and whether you meant it or not, it was there and I thought it's a point to always make. There's really no need for you to get defensive about it.
I know you feel strongly about a collective sense of responsibility for the war, and that you want to make that point because it's important to you.
However, I'm not on that page with you.
I wish you were. We didn't riot in 2000. We didn't strike in 2002 and 2003. We didn't challenge Ohio in 2004, instead expressing our disgust that Kerry didn't. We paid taxes. We are in a democracy.
Like it or not, your government is killing in your name and you and I and everybody here, not just Bush supporters are responsible. If you don't accept that, then what responsibility do you have at all? Why bother voting when THEY won't listen? We can always wash our hands if we work hard enough to justify our inaction.
The only way to change the course is to admit our culpability and transform ourselves. That includes in terms of consumerism and our impact on the environment.
Obviously nothing is going to happen overnight, but we must start with some self-awareness. People here wonder all the time how the Germans let Nazism happen. Now we know...
White "chocolate" isn't really chocolate.

they still have a strong bias towards the received "conventional wisdom" worldview.
It's what political coverage has become. It's weird, because I can't imagine that anyone outside the journalists themselves really cares about the hidden strategic motives of politicians. Either they do the right thing by the people of this country, or they don't. Trying to read their minds about it is absurd.
It already is. Between that and the lack of clearcut goals and any movement towards "success" (whatever that is), it shouldn't be difficult to get up there and say, "We're leaving."
On the contrary, I think politicians still find it difficult to do just that. And they will not say much less do it until they are compelled to.

Newpapers have never bee "free", they have always danced to the tune of their owners to some extent.

Media, CBS in particular was deeply hated, was blamed for losing Vietnam.

Last night on the NBC Nightly News, Williams handed the story of Exxon Mobile's gazillion-dollar profits to a tweak from CNBC with the toss line "people see this huge profits and see the price at the pump. Don't they have the right to be mad?"
Oh, no, said the cocksucker from CNBC. Exxon-Mobil's gone through some rough times and now they're going through some good times. NO reason to be mad.
Now, that's not a direct quote, but damn close, and I want to know when Exxon-Mobil's bad times were. Not in my lifetime. Oh, maybe when they crashed their boat and ruined half of the Alaskan coast. Other than that, I can't think of a thing.

I was alluding to an episode of Seinfeld, where George was going to be denied a chance to upgrade his apartment because it was going to go instead to a tenant who'd survived the Andrea Doria.
Jerry reminded George that nobody could compare their sob stories with George's, so he then went to the tenants' association and gave them a rundown of his godawful existence.
It was darn funny.
Who enslaved the Finnish? Or my heritage, the Swiss?
The Finns enslaved the Lapps at one point and later there was something very like the serfdom system in operation. I don't know enough about the Swiss to tell you, but I do know that at one point the Irish bought English slaves and later it was reversed.
Oh, NTodd - you're so much better than everyone;

Jesus fucking christ, there's no need to attack me personally on this shit. Really.
Also, slavery became illegal in Saudi Arabia only about sixty years ago. There are still slaves in Sudan.

I think the intense feelings for candidates was just as common in 2004, but the difference this year is how long it's taking to pick a nominee. In 2004 it was pretty much decided by New Hampshire.
Another wrinkle is this time the presidency is up for grabs, so there's a greater feeling that the brass ring can be won.

Thanks. I guess I don't see the political internet as a mature movement yet. But I don't know that much about it.
Agree that it isn't mature yet, but the break points are times like this one where people battle each other for reasons that have to do with questions inside the movement. If those take over from the external battles then the movement tends to split and loses steam.

Oooh just saw this one over at ThinkProgress:
Boortz blames Katrina on ‘parasites’ in ‘New Orleans.’
On his nationally syndicated radio show this week, right-wing talker Neal Boortz attacked victims of Hurricane Katrina, saying that “the disaster that followed” was not “George Bush’s fault” because, in Boortz’ mind, “the primary blame goes on the worthless parasites who lived in New Orleans who you — couldn’t even wipe themselves, let alone get out of the way of the water when that levee broke.” Earlier in the same show, Boortz claimed that “when these Katrina so-called refugees were scattered about the country, it was just a glorified episode of putting out the garbage.”

Romney is a smart guy: why does he sound not so bright?
Gerald Patrick Hemming, Jr., a swashbuckling six-foot five ex-Marine turned soldier-of-fortune, who personally knew many of the prominent personages of the tumultuous sixties, and whose name appears with regularity in the books and articles on the Kennedy assassination, died Monday at his home in Fayetteville, North Carolina after a lengthy illness. Born in Los Angeles on March 1, 1937, Hemming was 71.
Arlo sez:
“I love this guy. Dr. Paul is the only candidate I know of who would have signed the Constitution of The United States had he been there. I’m with him, because he seems to be the only candidate who actually believes it has as much relevance today as it did a couple of hundred years ago. I look forward to the day when we can work out the differences we have with the same revolutionary vision and enthusiasm that is our American legacy.”
I think Arlo smoked too much pot back in the day.

Maybe the surge worked: how would we know, they haven't really been clear on what it was supposed to do. I think the surge was successful in surging. From the standpoint of surging, the surge did pretty well. For a surge.
After he left the Marine Corp in the fall of 1958, Hemming travelled to Cuba and assist the newly formed Castro government in military training. In Cuba, Hemming worked as an instructor in a Cuban parachute regiment and was later named adjutant of the San Julien air base. Hemming claims while at San Julien he thwarted an assassination attempt by a disgruntled Cuban soldier who intended to shoot against Fidel Castro while he toured the air base with Soviet envoy Anderi Mikoyan.
In Cuba, Hemming met and worked with another American named William Morgan who in April 1961 was brutally executed by Castro forces for being a traitor. Hemming stated that he met Jack Ruby at Morgan's residence. Morgan's US citizenship was restored in 2007. In Cuba he also met Frank Fiorini, also known as Frank Sturgis who gained notoriety in 1974 as one of the Watergate burglars.

Uh oh. What further horror has occurred.
For him? January became February. Which means he has one month to come up with a good reason why nothing constructive has happened since he reported in September.
Hemming met and liked Che Guevera who he described as a man of his word. Hemming claimed he had a secret meeting with Guevera during the height of the Cuban missile crisis.
Hemming fled Cuba in the fall of 1960 and was extensively debriefed by the CIA regarding Castro's military operations. He then started a paramilitary organization named Intercontinental Penetration Force or Interpen, which trained first in the Everglades and later on No Name Key, a small, mosquito-infested island thirty miles north of Key West. The group was sometimes known as "Patrick's raiders".

Hemming's group was heavily funded by right-wing Caribbean dictators but some believe there was secret funding from the CIA. Hemming claimed to be reporting to James Jesus Angleton, the controversial chief of the CIA's Counterintelligence arm. Hemming also had familial ties to the intelligence community: his uncle had been a business partner with John McCone, JFK's Director of the CIA.
it was "avocado" and "harvest gold". Oh, true dat. Avocado, for sure. But I'm pretty certain there was a "sunset" in there somewhere.
Is the category 70s appliances or Laura's closet?
Morgan who in April 1961 was brutally executed by Castro forces for being a traitor.
Um, in unpropagandistic language this would be "the government executed someone they believed to be a traitor." Talk of "brutally executed" (what, he wasn't shot or hung?) is kind of like "innocent Holocaust victims" (what, there were guilty ones?), and after the defeat of Batista there were no "Castro forces" (which is just fracking illiterate), it was "the government." Any given government is entirely in its rights in killing genuine threats to its survival, and Castro's was more threatened than most, especially in the early 60s by Americans.
In December 1962, Hemming and a dozen of his Interpen group were arrested in the Florida Keys shortly before leaving on a secret mission to Cuba. Jailed overnight in Key West, the group was bailed out by a Miami attorney who flew them to Miami on a chartered seaplane. Hemming stated that when they arrived in Miami, Oswald attempted to infiltrate their group but Hemming instructed his men to remove Oswald. Several months later when Hemming and his lawyer participated in a Miami radio talk show, a man identifying himself as Lee Oswald called the show. A week after the assassination, the talk show host reported the incident to the FBI. In 1978, Hemming testified to the House Select Committee on Assassinations that he had met Lee Harvey Oswald outside the Cuban Consulate in January 1959, was suspicious of Oswald's motives and the information he was seeking. Subsequently, Hemming advised his Cuban friends to get rid of Oswald.

heh.
On bail restriction arising from the arrest in the Florida Keys, Hemming was unable to return to Los Angeles for a Christmas reunion with his family. A short time thereafter, his father, who owned a television repair shop, died. Hemming always regretted missing that last Christmas with his father. He told one writer that for months after his father died he would call his father's business after hours just to listen to his father's voice on the recorded announcement of the business hours.

Shame their mothers believed that.
In March of 1963, Hemming traveled to Dallas, Texas seeking financial support for his Interpen group. One of the person contacted included former Gen. Edwin Walker, who was shot at by Lee Oswald a few weeks later.
Hemming testified to the HSCA that in the summer of 1963 he was personally offered money to arrange the murder of JFK; specifying one such offer was made in the home of New Orleans private investigator Guy Banister and another in the Dallas Petroleum Club.

Fingered your trombone.
In the late 1980s Hemming and two of his Interpen associates served as consultants to Oliver Stone's movie "JFK". He can be seen briefly in the film as the man co-coordinating the assassination. Although some speculate that members of Interpen may have been involved in the assassination, Hemming always denied that charge, but has suggested that several years later he learned the details of the assassination from persons who were involved. Among his controversial claims was that Kennedy assassination was funded in part by members of the family of Rafeal Trujillo, the Dominican Republic dictator assassinated in April 1961, and that there was a separate shooter in the Texas School Book Depository with a contract to kill Governor John Connally. He also claimed that the conspirators had planted a bomb in a car parked near the triple underpass that could have been used to blow up the entire presidential limousine had the shooters been unable to deliver a fatal head shot.

OK, enough with the Jimmy Carter afraid of bunnies.
In areas where rabies is possible, seeing an animal which normally goes the opposite direction of humans coming toward you can be a good indication of rabies.
A lot easier to avoid getting bit, than going through the shots.
When rabies spiked here in northern NJ, having a raccoon out in the yard during the day meant stay out of the yard and call animal control. So call me scared of Rocky Raccoon. Yes, we were! And we kept the animals indoors until that raccoon was caught (it was rabit).

Even better, it's real!
In 1855, when Jose da Fonseca and Pedro Carolino wrote an English phrasebook for Portuguese students, they faced just one problem: they didn't know any English. Even worse, they didn't own an English-to-Portuguese dictionary. What they did have, though, was a Portuguese-to-French dictionary, and a French-to-English dictionary.
Is this about laundry?
Yes, 60 cycles is the life expectancy of a flannel shirt, made in Viet Nam.
Of course we can pray for victory in the battle of Surge-ageddon in the valley of Megiddo.
When rabies spiked here in northern NJ, having a raccoon out in the yard during the day meant stay out of the yard and call animal control. So call me scared of Rocky Raccoon. Yes, we were! And we kept the animals indoors until that raccoon was caught (it was rabit).
There was a rabid fox here a few years ago. I saw it in the backyard but it was night so I didn't call anyone. It bit someone the following day and I've felt guilty about not calling ever since.
Even better, it's real!
That must have been hilarious.
Hemming may have given us the answer to some of the mysteries of the assassination. For instance, he has identified the Mexico City mystery man as German born Mario Tauler Sague, recruited for the CIA by Bill Harvey while Harvey was the Berlin station chief. Sague was involved in one of the earliest attempts on Castro's life.

This has been fun. Must now take a nap.
At the conference in Dallas, Hemming claimed to know Sylvia Odio's visitors were. He stated that one of them had once saved his life. In 2005, he finally revealed the names. The man who saved his life was Angelo Murgado, the "Angel" in the Odio story, and "Leopoldo" was Bernardo DeTorres, a name familiar to most students of the assassination. The names were first publicly identified in an article written by Mark Howell and Tim Gratz for the Key West Citizen. Murgado was interviewed in person by Prof Joan Mellen (in the presence of Hemming) and she tells the story in her book "A Farewell to Justice". Murgado was also interviewed by David Talbot for his book "Brothers". In "Brothers", Talbot states that Murgado told him that he, Murgado, had shown Robert F Kennedy the newspaper article and photo of Lee Oswald passing out literature in New Orleans, leading to the disturbing conclusion that when RFK learned of the arrest of Oswald for the murder of his brother, he recognized Oswald's name and photo.

Too bad they can't get knocked up.
Howard K. Davis, who served as an Army ranger in the Korean War and worked with the Castro forces in 1958 before the abdication of Batista, was the second in command of the Interpen group and worked closely with Hemming for many years. Davis, who now works for Homeland Security at the Miami airport, said of Hemming, "Hemming was at heart an idealist who longed for freedom for the Cuban people and like so many was disappointed that Castro betrayed the stated goals of his revolution. Gerry loved the Cuban people, spoke Spanish fluently and he is remembered with great fondness in the Cuban exile community. He named one of his sons after a Cuban exile who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the fight against Castro."
