Solo from my current favorite guitarist, Derek Trucks. Great demeanor; he just says it all with his music. Also incredibly versatile. Plays here with major league geezers.
The deeper story here is the shift from the Enlightenment worldview, whose commitment to reasoned debate and empirical truth used to be the cornerstone of our little experiment in democracy, to the faith-based worldview of fundamentalism -- not just the fundamentalism of the religious right but fundamentalisms of every sort. The Iraq war came about, in large part, through a harmonic convergence of personal passions, political agendas and ideological crusades, all faith-based rather than fact-driven. Bush, McClellan tells us, is a man who "convinces himself to believe what suits his needs at the moment" and who "to this day ... seems unbothered by the disconnect between the chief rationale for war and the driving motivation behind it, and unconcerned about how the case was packaged."

Reminds me of a joke.
It's during the war, in Russia. Food's very scarce. Sign goes up outside a butcher's: Rabbit Meat, 50 kopecks a kilo. This is a wonderful price so immediately a customer goes in. "Really, all rabbit meat?" "Well, no, to be honest, it's half horse". "Ah," says the customer, "that explains the good price. Well, it's still the best deal in the city. I'll take three kilos," he says, and completes the sale.
The next day he comes back and is pretty angry. "What's this crap about 'half horse'? It tasted exactly like horsemeat?!" "Well," says the butcher, "it WAS half rabbit: one rabbit, one horse."
(This is what passes for wartime Russian humor...)

Friend --
Hillary Clinton announced her support for our campaign today.
Senator Clinton made history over the past 16 months -- not just because she has broken barriers, but because she has inspired millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to causes like universal health care that make a difference in the lives of hardworking Americans.
Our party and our country are stronger because of the work she has done throughout her life, and I'm a better candidate for having had the privilege of competing with her.
Senator Clinton will be invaluable to our efforts to win in November, and I look forward to campaigning alongside her to bring this country the change it so desperately needs.

But the substance was even worse than the theatrics. Incredibly, Mr. McCain attacked Mr. Obama for being insufficiently bipartisan while speaking to the most conspicuously partisan audience you can assemble in today’s America: a small, nearly all-white crowd that seconded his attack lines with boorish choruses of boos. On TV, the audience came across as a country-club membership riled by a change in the Sunday brunch menu. change of the Sunday brunch menu

NEWSWEEK has learned that UBS is also currently the focus of congressional and Justice Department investigations into schemes that allegedly enabled wealthy Americans to evade income taxes by stashing their money in overseas havens, according to several law-enforcement and banking officials in both the United States and Europe, who all asked for anonymity when discussing ongoing investigations. In April, UBS withdrew Gramm's lobbying registration, but one of his former congressional aides, John Savercool, is still registered to lobby legislators for UBS on numerous issues, including a bill cosponsored by Sen. Barack Obama that would crack down on foreign tax havens. "UBS is treating these investigations with the utmost seriousness and has committed substantial resources to cooperate," a UBS spokesman told NEWSWEEK, adding that Gramm was deregistered as a lobbyist because he spends less than 20 percent of his time on such activity. Hazelbaker said the McCain campaign "will not comment on the details ... of ongoing investigations and legal charges not yet proved in court."

Iron Man's Repulsors Set on The Mandarin for Sequel http://blog.wired.com/underwire/...mans-
repul.html
With the Incredible Hulk tracking surprisingly well and threatening to smash Iron Man's box office records next weekend, director Jon Favreau is keeping Tony Stark and company in the news by hinting at the plot of the Iron Man sequel.
When the original film made mention of the terrorist organization The 10 Rings, it was a clear reference to Marvel history and the alien artifacts The Mandarin discovered before beginning his career of oppression and supervillainy. It seemed like a pretty obvious clue from Favreau and his writers that Iron Man's arch-nemesis would appear in a sequel.
Now, with the director saying he needs "heavy duty, heavyweight bad guys" to confront Iron Man in the next film, Mandarin seems all but a lock. There's no mention of casting yet for the Far Eastern troublemaker, but that will have to break soon, as Robert Downey Jr. will be ready to begin filming in the golden titanium suit again when he finishes the Hugh Hefner biography he's working on now.

Obama "is a mediocre Chicago machine politician and he will not stand up for us," said Mahoney, who added that she will never again give money or volunteer for the Democratic Party and plans to stay home in November. The couple both donated the maximum for Clinton and spent 23 days traveling to five states to work on her behalf. But, 10 minutes into Clinton's remarks Mahoney and Miller were heading for the door, refusing to hear Clinton's endorsement of Barack Obama.

It looks like someone has hacked into this poll and for every vote John McCain gets on your poll, Obama is getting several more. I don't believe the numbers are right.
Your right I have an IP blocker so I tested the poll looks like for every one vote for John McCain B. Hussein Obama will get three on the next vote that is cast for McCain. This Poll my be setup by B. Hussein Obam
Yep, your right, they also hacked into the hit counter and reset it to less than a 100,000. These bastard are running scared when they have to hack a web site.

I think it is relative with Republicans. I mean, think of the other guy: he ran with his tail between his legs from the draft. His daddy pulled a bunch of strings to get him into TANG over others without so many connections. He got to fly around when he wasn't grounded for being drunk or stoned and ended up in Alabama working on some political campaign and AWOL. Comparatively speaking, John McSame truly is a hero.

HA! I've had that as my homepage since I read it on The Economist's website way back when... it's basically a two-line correction that says something like: "The 2000 election is too close to call, so we're retracting the statement that George Bush won. The Economist regrets the error." or something to that effect.
As of today, The Economist still has not retracted their retraction. Filthy hippies there at the Economist...
Getting there. Now you have to go to the ultimate: because they are Democrats they have NO right to ever say anything about the military because, as Democrats and being traitors and cowards, anything they say cannot possibly have any merit.

As they were getting off the helicopter, Max saw the grenade on the ground and he instinctively went for it. Soldiers in combat don't leave grenades lying around on the ground. Later, in the hospital, he said he thought it was his own but I doubt the concept of "ownership" went through his mind in the split seconds involved in reaching for the grenade. Nearly two decades later another soldier came forward and admitted it was actually his grenade. Does ownership of the grenade really matter? It does not.

From The Economist print edition
In the issues of December 16th 2000 to November 10th 2001, we may have given the impression that George Bush had been legally and duly elected president of the United States. We now understand that this may have been incorrect, and that the election result is still too close to call. The Economist apologises for any inconvenience.

And I bet she is a very good actress indeed.
Not only because, as first lady, she played the diverse roles of someone interested in China and someone interested in china. Not only because, as a presidential candidate, she morphed from Queen Elizabeth I to Norma Rae, as Newsweek put it.

Honestly, he surprises me all the time. I would have never thought of that.
I hate to ask him to do it tho - removing cadavers is probably the homeowner's responsibility.
GWPDA, yclept Irate Historian
Do you have any plants/trees planned for planting in the immediate future? Gravesite and minor fertilizing and cadaver removal could be combined in one operation.
Or as noted above Nature's morticians are at work anyway. I found a snake the other day which had gotten trapped in an old net I used to keep leaves out of the yard pond. Apparently crawled into it, got stuck, and perished. I now have an almost completely cleaned snake skeleton, should anybody be in the market for such.

Mrs. Blues' right foot is in a cast. She is supposed to get it off at the end of the month. This is playing hell with our vacation planning. We usually go places that involve hiking, biking, etc. This year, not so sure. We're currently thinking of driving to Santa Cruz then making our way back slowly home via Highway 1 through Monterey, Big Sur, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara.

But it emerges during this audience with Florida media chiefs that McCain is not just old, but cranky. Asked about his opposition to a $2bn plan to save the Everglades, supported by Florida's Republican governor, McCain demands: "Tell me what that bill was?" Then he turns on the questioner. "You just answered your own question," he snaps.
McCain's confusion is puzzling. This is his 18th visit to Florida since the campaign began and the Everglades is of big concern to voters.

today was almost (another) total waste, but at the last minute i learned something new and practical. so that made it a better day than most.
On what are effectively British offshore markets, Greenberger said, a group of banks and hedge funds are simply "continuing and repeating the 'subprime' crash of the securities markets, and all their derivatives, on the commodities markets." He named the investment banks—Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley—along with JPMorgan Chase. Some 70% of all oil futures trading in the United States is speculative, Greenberger said, and 30% of all U.S. oil futures trading is being done by Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase. "I find it highly ironic that when you control the price of oil, you can 'predict' when it will go from $130 to $200 a barrel," he noted, answering Senator Cantwell's question about the "predictions" of $150-200 oill by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, which around May 20 launched the latest superspike in prices.

In the short term, there's plenty of oil. The futures speculators are bidding the price up per barrel, but I haven't read where the crude suppliers are at peak production.
The oil majors aren't at max refining capacity either. It's largely just plain, old fashioned price-gouging.

Your brainwashed by the sparkle box. Didnt you read my post above that speculators trying to recoup losses in the securities market are creating a bubble in the oil market.
Why, the fact is we have plenty of heavy sour crude just not heavy sour crude refineries. BTW I dont hear people crying about mining the oil shale [kerogen] in North Dakota.
ANWR holds only about 5% of the oil we need and at that only a maybe 13 years worth. And PUD, you falling back on tired strawman arguments shows me that you are uninformed.

Scott McClellan is having a "Matrix" moment -- the moment when you wake up, with a jolt, from the reassuring fictions of the media dream world to the face-slapping reality of unspun fact.
In "The Matrix," Laurence Fishburne parts the veil of illusion -- the computer-generated simulation that humanity experiences as reality -- to reveal the movie's post-apocalyptic world as an irradiated slag heap.
"Welcome to the Desert of the Real," he says, a riff on the postmodern philosopher Jean Baudrillard's pronouncement, in his book "Simulations," that we live in a "desert of the real" -- an ever more virtual reality where fact and firsthand experience are displaced by media fictions. Baudrillard's example is tailor-made for the Bush presidency: "Propaganda and advertising fuse in the same marketing and merchandising of objects and ideologies," he wrote.

It is easy: the reasoning goes like this. I do not have enough money to make a significant difference therefore this money is MINE. (Since I cannot possibly solve ALL of the world's problems.)
The fact that they could solve a great deal of problems never occurs to them. You see: if you only think of the problems as unsolvable, then you are absolved from responsibility. If the problems become manageable, then you are responsible. So, problems must be unsolvable. You see?

No its not. Conservatives say they follow the word of Jesus and usury [capitalism] is not something the then believe in. Furthermore Jesus and his group were communal and shared what they did have. Capitalism is exploitation of ones desires, it is consumerism and consumerism is what drives the economic powerhouse that finances empires.

We're currently thinking of driving to Santa Cruz then making our way back slowly home via Highway 1 through Monterey, Big Sur, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara.
In Santa Cruz, have breakfast on the deck at Aldo's on the north side of the yacht harbor.
Ten years ago, Deetjan's Big Sur Inn was a great place. Likely it still is. Excellent/funky restaurant. Recommend calling ahead.
If you like windy roads and unheimlich views, the tiny road that winds eastward over the mountains from Lucia is a spectacular drive. If there's no fog, stop and get out often. Ventana Wilderness on both sides at the crest. The road down the east slope follows a pretty stream down a canyon.
Hearst Mansion I just find grotesque and depressing. Wilder Ranch is a good place for DFH's to spend a couple hours.
And if you've never seen the Monterey Bay Aquarium, that's a great thing to do on a weekday. On weekends, if the line is long (and it will be) you can skip the line by going around to the right to the members' entrance and buying a membership - ups the price, but I have found it worth the cost in the past.

Well, true, but he also didn't mind the Roman taxes. He believed that you rend undo Caesar what was Caesar's, but give to God what was his. Meaning (from my POV): Money isn't that big of a deal. It's just temporary. What you should worry about is your soul. Money, power, and status have no currency with God.

I am not even sure what "Deserving Poor" means, nor do I want to. What I do know is that in this country it is obscene for a person to have so much money that they can, essentially waste it on purchasing "things" that mean so little to them that if they lost them all them all, it would make no substantial difference in their lives. That is a standard that all of us can understand.
When Lesley Staahl had her Central Park West Apartment West broken into by people pretending to be workmen and she lost "Several diamond wristwatches and numerous electronic gadgets" that had a value of several hundred thousand dollars and MADE no appreciable difference in her life: that is excess. (And the wages of lying for the "Man.")
When my children come to school in the same clothes for weeks on end because they have no others: when they know what it is like to eat "Sugar-rice" four nights a week for supper and are happy to have even that: when the end of the month means that those who take Ritalin will not have it because "Mom" sold it for some extra money to buy groceries or something for herself: or or or. (While Jerry or that ignorant Leno drive around in one of the dozen and dozens of cars - yep, that is obscene and wrong.)

Well, Pud, I think your wrong, To deny global warming is to deny global cooling or ice ages.
The wooly mammoth didnt come about because warming and cooling dont happen.
Now, the globe warms and cools and we have proof to that effect [CO2 in ice core samples] that CO2 does vary during those periods.
I dont know if you have ever heard of the Maunder minimum but during that period there were nearly no sunspots. Today we are entering a new solar cycle with less sunspots, so things should be cooling but they are not.

Arabs shocked by Obama speech
Arab leaders have reacted with anger and disbelief to an intensely pro-Israeli speech delivered by Barack Obama, the US Democratic presumptive presidential nominee.
Obama, hours after securing his party's nomination on Wednesday, had gone on to say the US bond with Israel was "unbreakable today, unbreakable tomorrow, unbreakable for ever" and drew a standing ovation.
He told the gathering of one of US politics' most influential lobbying groups that, as president, he would "never compromise when it comes to Israel's security."
McCain is a war her.

I do make sacrifice to Echidne on occasion, but that has nothing to do with my taste in pets. Perhaps if I study Suomi my obeisances will be found worthy, and I shall be smiled upon. Certainly she is my favorite among the tribe Feminist.
And I love to watch the alligator lizards do their pushups. The blue-tailed skinks are astonishing, and even rattlesnakes have a certain grace. Turtles always seem ancient, like holdovers from the Triassic or something.
I prefer mammals for companionship. Preferably callimammipygian ones of a certain age (snorg girls cute but far too "Hey Nineteen"), but cats are repectfully welcomed chez hanes and cherished, and my friends' dogs get scratched and petted and commended on their Goodness.
But trying to interact with the reptilian brain just seems so one-sided.

Well, thats only if your 5k isnt being spent on other things. Most people, even at 5k a week, have many bills.
Lets say I make 5k a week and live on a yacht that uses a 1000 gallons a week.
In 2000 this cost me a bit over a 1000 dollars a week, no big deal. Now it costs 4000 a week. And if its diesel even more.
So, while I agree with what you say, basically, it does affect people who make more money. The Airlines certainly arent happy nor are the truckers and many businesses.
