Like defendants before the Star Chamber, the defense is being denied the right of confrontation, the most basic of defense rights. This means that they do not know what is being said against them, nor even who is saying it. And accordingly, they are not able to point out to the Court what is false or suspect in these statements, or to introduce information which would rebut them. And all of this is transpiring in an American court room today, in one of many courts in America in which the Constitution has become a dormant document–at the urging of the Bush Justice Department.
I know what: Let's talk about impeaching Pelosi and theSocial Security crisis.

Bush also said during his interview with prosecutors that he had never directed anyone to disclose the identity of then-covert CIA officer Valerie Plame, Wilson’s wife. Bush said he had no information that Cheney had disclosed Plame’s identity or directed anyone else to do so.
The McClellan quote suggests very strongly that the final statement, which would have been the question that Fitzgerald put to Bush, was false. If Bush’s statement was a conscious effort to mislead a federal prosecutor on questions focal to his inquiry, this is a very big deal.

Public opinion polling now shows that 64% of Americans believe that Bush has abused his authority as president, and that 55% believe that his abuses rise to the level of specific offenses which would justify his impeachment and removal from office under the Constitutional standards. If McClellan’s original statement is to be credited, then two of those impeachable offenses would be making false material statements to a prosecutor in connection with a criminal investigation and issuing a pardon as a part of an on-going cover-up of criminal acts. This is a presidency for the recordbooks.

Tony Blair avoided talking about his religious views while in office for fear of being labelled "a nutter", the former prime minister has revealed.
In an interview for BBC One's The Blair Years, he said that his faith had been "hugely important" to his premiership.
His ex-spokesman Alastair Campbell once told reporters: "We don't do God."
Mr Campbell has now acknowledged to the programme that his former boss "does do God in quite a big way", but that both men feared the public would be wary.

Shit man, Jupiter's my favorite planet because of Galileo, Kepler and Sagan. First planet I ever excitedly looked for with this little shitty scope I got for Xmas when I was 7. First planet I looked for with my 4.5" Newtonian. I've seen the Red Spot with that scope (now in the hands of a special 8yo), as well as the Cassini Division of Saturn.

Our side (including Obama):
-Shore up social security with a progressive tax hike
-Roll back tax cuts for the wealthy.
-Expand considerably public health care.
-Get out of Iraq (at least fairly soon)
-Sensible and humane immigration policy.
Why are we yelling about Obama again? Because his exact 'strategy' was not precisely to our personal liking?
mike | 11.24.07 - 8:39 pm
From the SocSec thread below, a commenter offered a defense of Obama--and tellingly the #1 issue was--wha'?--SocSec. Social Security????
Left off the list entirely was that while SocSec is in quite good shape Medicare and Medicaid are going to be in very bad shape quite soon.
Obama could have made that his issue to differentiate himself. But that is really a difficult one, and the Rethugs do not want to do anything progressive about it, so it's not a "centering" issue.
#3, expanding considerably public health care? How about universal health care. Oh, right. That is not on Obama's own list. (Maybe that's why Medicare isn't on the list--to really fix Medicare and Medicaid means universal health care--and that will be very difficult indeed.)
Crap issue emphasis. But easy to get some people all scared like--bcz the ReThugs have been flogging it for decades.... Just crap.

Sarah Deere: Full Moon this eve.
Not according to my atomic clock. Is it wrong? It's cloudy, here.

Jeffraham Prestonian |
Nov. 24, 9:30 a.m. EST - The Full Beaver Moon. Time to set beaver traps before the swamps freeze to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Beaver Full Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now active in their preparation for winter. Also called the Frosty Moon.

CENTERTON, Ark. -- The mayor of an Arkansas town resigned on Wednesday, claiming he was abducted and brainwashed by Satan worshippers nearly three decades ago.
Centerton Mayor Ken Williams said he has been living under an assumed name for nearly 30 years. He had been mayor since 2001.
Williams told authorities he was born Don LaRose and that in the mid-1970s, he was a preacher in Indiana. He said he was abducted and brainwashed into forgetting all about his life as Don LaRose.
It was a double life he had never acknowledged, Williams said, because he didn't even realize it existed until he had recently taken a truth-serum injection.
As Williams regained his memory, he said, he realized that he had a wife and two kids but that he had decided to leave and take on a new identity to protect them.
"I had no choice. The choice was to watch my family killed before my eyes or go with these people, and I chose instead to run," Williams said.
Why can't new role models break out of the old mold and do things morally and ethically? Why do the newcomers feel such a pressure to fuck the rest of us over? I don't get it.
Because they are already out of the mainstream by being newcomers, pretty much.

Applications that will download stuff from USENET.
I will say no more, as that could be perceived as promoting piracy. I will say that downloading from USENET makes it all but impossible for the MPAA/RIAA to trace any one particular downloader.

Which service do you prefer?
I use 2 Russian sites. Yes, Russian. Tracks are 19 cents per. So far Russian courts have upheld their rights to distribute, so I'm pretending they're legit. I've had no probs with my credit cards or anything, and the services have been good.
GoMusic.ru and Mp3Sugar.com. They often have stuff iTunes doesn't, and sometimes they don't so I go to iTunes for that stuff (then I'll hijack the song if I need it for a podcast). The advantage of these sites is they are MP3s (okay, audiophiles hate those) with no DRM.

Well, it's not a simple thing to figure out. But Margaret Thatcher was the first woman Prime Minister in the U.K. for the very reason that she was nothing like the worst stereotypes of women some people have. She was not going to be nice and soft or anything like that and she was also not going to give another woman a lift up.
A Labor Party female candidate would have had much more trouble because the stereotypes overlap too much. That is what I meant by one of the reasons why the "firsts" often don't hold otherwise new positions.

I think that it's totally the lack of public financing that's the problem. I read a short piece recently on how Canada's campaign financing makes it far more difficult for Big Bidniss to get their laws enacted, whereas here, they just email the text in with a Paypal and the law hits the books the next day (mild hyperbole there).
It's my opinion that politicing is about compromise and allocating scarce public resources. Selling your soul to Rupert Murdoch isn't required, it's just fashionable these days.

The thing I was trying to get at is-- she's closer to being President than any woman before her, and win or lose, will there be some kind of ripple effect? It would seem that if she does succeed, that could draw more women into politics, which would be a good thing-- but if she didn't, then what? Same as it ever was?

It requires a new model of campaign financing. I like the netroots version. A zillion small contributions and no corporate ass-mongering. The difficulty, of course, is having enough people on the new model so that they can caucus together and get things accomplished. Make no mistake, Der Corporate Fuhrer understands exactly what is at stake here.

I don't know about a ripple effect. I just know that Hillary shouldn't be alienating her base and running what seems to be a repeat of her husband's "trash the base, praise Republicans and call it bipartisanship" 1992 campaign.

nick carraway, I didn't mean to imply that you believe that stuff. But the whole discussion about the effects of Hillary Clinton's success or failure on women is based on the idea that is the female part of her that would be somehow responsible for failing or succeeding, rather than just Hillary the person.
This is a real problem for the first women in any new area. They are always judged as "all women", and it's pretty frustrating, because the pressure must be enormous.

Jane Jacobs' principles would have been embraced if they could be franchised and sold at a markup. as it is they would only add to the quality of life of the people, so of course they are not to be seriously considered.

I know New York and Chicago used to be that way. Now, well, not so much. Besides, where would one find a city like that anywhere in the world? Europe? Nah, not really. Don't get me wrong, I adore European cities (particularly Paris--I'm a romantic, sue me already) but they are not the bustling, thriving sorts of places where things are constantly changing. At least, the big cities aren't. But they used to be. Amsterdam used to be that way, and the old city center shows it.
Maybe we'd have to go all Third World and shit to find bustling, thriving, rapidly changing cities. I don't know. Usually third world cities are centers of horrifying poverty (at least in my experience).

I tried it in all caps last time and no one noticed. I just do not understand. We have no idea of what is happening in Iraq. The Journalists - such as they are - are all scared shitless and cowering in the Green Zone afraid to investigate what is actually going on for fear of being killed. (I believe more journalists have been killed in this war than any previous. If not more than certainly a bunch) So we are left with our information being spoon fed to the wire services by the American Army - certainly a source who would never, ever lie about what is actually happening.

That is so stupid of Disney. At least they didn't have Tasers then....
Or facial recognition software. They weren't physical about it, but they were really pissy. We were obviously unclean beings, and they let us know it. Plenty of high school & college kids got the same treatment at Disneyland for a short time in history, and then they just stopped. I don't know why, but they just stopped caring. Maybe they realized that if they started keeping out everybody they wouldn't hire, they were going to be keeping out more people than they were going to be letting in.

By the time we'd hit the bottom of the cd pile and had 'Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer' I was close to homicide....
