Those oatmeal cookies already have vanilla, and are great with real butter and sugar. They are lacking in the diabetic mode.

We talk about urban gentrification all of the time, but my guess is that rural gentrification is often much more destructive to longtime residents of developing rural areas, especially if their livelihood is tied to the land.

Mothers' Day Proclamation: Julia Ward Howe, Boston, 1870
Mother's Day was originally started after the Civil War, as a protest to the carnage of that war, by women who had lost their
sons. Here is the original Mother's Day Proclamation from 1870.
Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts, whether our baptism be that of water or of fears! Say firmly: "We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking
with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach
them of charity, mercy and patience. We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own.
It says "Disarm, Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice." Blood does not wipe our dishonor nor violence indicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them then solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, each bearing after their own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar, but of God. In the name of womanhood and of humanity, I earnestly ask that a general congress of women without limit of nationality may be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient and at the earliest period consistent with its objects, to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace.

From the same WSJ article, "The FDA thinks they have it under control, but they really don't," said the congressman leading the investigation, Rep. Bart Stupak (D., Mich.). The FDA's reluctance to release the Chinese companies' names is a red flag, he said. "If I was the FDA director, I'd shut down every drug coming in from China" until they were deemed safe, he said.
A spokeswoman for the FDA said the agency is looking at finding a way to give the committee the information it requested 10 days ago without violating confidentiality agreements involving proprietary information.

I was looking at homes here in LA. There was a 2 bedroom, 1 bath in Santa Monica that was $1.2 million. How can they even find buyers for these homes? It was a fixer-upper, a small one at that, for $1.2 m.

And at the risk of flogging a dead equine, why aren't either of our possible Democratic nominees screaming to high heaven about investigating the boundless criminal acts of the Bushies?
Seriously -- why? And I don't want to hear "they need to get elected first," because as far as I'm concerned that simply means they have no intention of conducting said investigations.

Escariot,
That was my point I was trying in my limited way, to make the other day. There is enough to do for every Democratic leader. One person cannot do it all.
We are going to need everyone and then some I am afraid.
This drug thing really pisses me off. Why should we protect anyone who has willfully killed our people? And to have an arm of the government appointed by an imbecile fighting with the people's representative is simply wrong on so many levels. . . .

Just saw on Crooks and Liars, McCain's group doesn't believe in economists any more than Hillary's camp does.
Apparently all those years spent getting a degree in economics was just absolutely wasted. And the people who openly admit they don't know anything about the subject have decided that those who do, are teh stupid.

QUIZ TIME
ding! what Congressional rabid McCain supporter said...
"I'm saying when it comes to dealing with enemies, both in the Middle East and around the world, Senator McCain has more experience, more balance, knows when to be tough, knows when to be soft,"
"And I worry that Senator Obama has not had that experience and therefore, ultimately, will compromise our security in that way and also ***our alliances***."
clock is ticking...

Before my grandmother passed away a couple of years ago, we moved her out from Fresno to an assisted living home in one of the brand-spanking-new cul-de-sacs in Brentwood. The guy who ran the home was Filipino and used to remark how poorly constructed the homes were, and how, if they were built like that in his home country, they'd disintegrate in the first monsoon. As it was, he predicted the places wouldn't last ten years.

Hmmm, this reminds me of something. It's right on the tip of my tongue. Rhymes with Mew Norleans.
The warnings were certainly issued in that case....

MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE UNINHABITABLE FOR WEEKS...PERHAPS LONGER. AT LEAST ONE HALF OF WELL CONSTRUCTED HOMES WILL HAVE ROOF AND WALL FAILURE. ALL GABLED ROOFS WILL FAIL...LEAVING THOSE HOMES SEVERELY
DAMAGED OR DESTROYED.
The real problem was that the infrastructure for mass evacuation was sadly never prepared, in "nobody could have imagined" fashion.

Former Welsh Secretary Peter Hain has warned Labour it risks being left behind by a "new, modern Wales".
He criticised some in the Welsh party for blaming their council election losses on problems at a UK level.
He admitted the 10p tax issue had been "toxic", but said his party was not keeping pace with the "incredibly fast" rate of change across Wales.
The Neath MP said Welsh Labour would continue to suffer defeats unless it became the "party of aspiration".
Mr Hain spoke after Labour was battered at the elections on 1 May, losing overall control of six of the 22 Welsh councils and retaining an overall majority in just two.
Labour performed worse in Wales than in England, where the party lost only three out of 137 councils.
He is publishing a pamphlet arguing that Welsh Labour needs to face its failure and keep up with social changes, and told The Politics Show in Wales that two successive poor election results showed that "something in particular is afoot in Wales."

"It is very interesting, from the very beginning of this race there has been a sharp divide in the vote -- the people who need a president, who need to turn the economy around, who need to restore the middle class, who need to give poor people a chance to work their way into the middle class, who need to give our children a better future, who need to restore our standing in the world and the war in Iraq, but -- they have been for her from the get-go."
- Bill Clinton
In other words, if you support Barack, you don't need/want:
- a President
- to turn the economy around
- to restore the middle class
- to give poor people a chance to work their way into the middle class
- to give our children a better future
- to restore our standing in the world and the war in Iraq
- to do it in a way that rebuilds our military and stands up for America's security and standing around the world
Bill Clinton is a Talking Head...

Good question. Probably to rent, or to move in with relatives, or live in their cars.
In the last few months, I'm seeing a huge, for this neighborhood, number of homes for rent. Today I drove to work from Son's and DiL's place along 16th Street. Every apartment building has signs saying: "Move in Now!" or "We Take Pets!" or something similar. Wherever these folks are going, they don't seem to be renting.

This is from GOS, I hesitate to ask, but is this provable?
While the Keating Five scandal that earned John McCain a slap on the wrist from the Senate Ethics Committee for exercising "poor judgement," brings to mind McCain's part in delaying the government's seizure of the Lincoln Savings and Loan at the behest campaign contributor and personal friend, Charles Keating, a delay that eventually cost U.S. taxpayers $2.6 billion, what's rarely mentioned is his wife and father-in-law's involvement with Keating for a...you guessed it...land deal. After McCain's role in the Keating Five scandal was revealed, McCain paid back $13,433 for flights he and his family had taken on Keatings private jet, and he eventually donated $112,000 (the amount he had received from Keating) to the U.S. treasury, but his wife and father-in-law, who had invested $359,000 in a Keating-owned strip mall held onto their investment, later selling it for $15 million.

-----------------------
Senator McCain also knows that he doesn't know sh*t about economics, but that's not going to stop him from coming up with cockamamie ideas to fix our economy. Brilliant ideas, like the gas tax holiday, or trading manufacturing jobs for selling crap on Ebay.
