If you're in Burgundy there's no escaping it. But why would you want to?
Rep. Henry A. Waxman , D-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, demanded that the State Department release the names of the companies through which passport records for the three presidential candidates were breached.
“I am writing to request that you provide the Oversight Committee by Monday with the identities of the companies involved in these breaches,” Waxman said in a letter to Rice. “I also believe this information should be made publicly available.”
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Howard L. Berman , D-Calif., said his panel also would investigate the breach.....
This all reminds me of the Watergate break-in story that said some low-level burglars had broken into the office of the Democratic National Committee. Is this breach the new break-in for the computer age?

Heard a report on NPR this morning that the companies which maintain abandoned properties are making a killing.
I was talking to a fella a couple of weeks ago who works for a company that goes into abandoned/foreclosed homes and secures them; empties them of any toxic substances, locks them down, etc. He said that he used to do maybe a handful a week, and now is doing upwards of 50.

Or revert them back to farmland. The local mall is on what used to be a dairy farm and up until 10 years ago, you could see them bail hay across the street from the mall. Now it is all condos and crap apartment complexes.

You guys nailed it.
This is Dejavu. During the 80s, our subdivision experienced the walk aways and many of the units and homes were completely empty. In this case, the market went way up, people invested and then the market spiraled down. Military folks who also bought in were suddenly screwed when they found the house had declined to half it's purchase price at the end of their tours. Again, they walked away.
We had a party house going two doors down, RE management folk ringing the door and asking us who lived in the units next to us, gang activity including a major fire in our units, apathetic non-resident landlords and so on.
For the residents in a neighborhood, it can be terrifying and very depressing.
We were lucky, I guess. Officially we got about 4 1/2 inches of snow today.

Update: Johnny Dollar has audio of Wallace calling into Kilmeade's radio show — Kilmeade talking about the divergent opinions on this, and noted, interestingly that he was "honored that we had a real conversation on the air rather than off the air." Kilmeade and Wallace agreed with each other about the content of the show, and then there was a funny moment: Wallace asked, "How mad is Doocy at me?" and Kilmeade said, "He's mad. I'll be honesty, he's really mad," but then said that, hey, it was healthy to "mix it up once in a while." Kilmeade said he was glad Wallace spoke up even though "I'm in a minority on our show" — to which Wallace added: "And some of the executives." Oh, zing!
Wallace also said that he didn't agree that the Democratic nomination was over, because the superdelegates were still a wild card. Also a funny moment where Kilmeade said that he'd never be on Wallace's show, and Wallace said, "Well, that's true." Ha.
Also, one other note: Gretchen Carlson was smiling through Wallace's criticism, which seems sort of inappropriate. But is apparently just par for the couse with her.

They require that any new structure built on those lots meets certain requirements as to the stlye of the neighboorhood (lots of older Victorian homes, such as ours). We considered buying the vacant lot at the end of our block after we moved in, so that we could use it for a huge garden, but were told by the city that was a no-go; had to actually build something on it. Someone bought it and now there's a nice home there, but still. Could have fed the whole neighborhood with what I could've grown there.

Those making the argument that the Michigan delegates should be seated because of the January vote are being ridiculous. Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot, because the DNC had ruled beforehand that the vote would not count.
Time to leave for home.
For a long time now living in South-Eastern Michigan you hear a lot of outraged white people who never go anywhere near Pyongyang breathlessly complaining about our Glorious Leader, but lately there are a lot of vocal Black critics too, and the local alternative press is united as far as we've surveyed
in saying "Just Go." All signs from the mayor's office indicate that Kwame thinks he can beat this and he intends to try. They'll have to drag him out by his ridiculous gangsta pyjamas.

I suspect that in some Dayton neighborhoods that is also the case. But this is Dayton, they're never going to have to population we once did, so why not allow the neighbors to buy the lot and use it for garden, or a garage, or whatever?
What I really don't understand is that we are by no means even a "large" city. I believe the population is somewhere near 30K. Also, the city is and always has been pretty much a shining example of local sovereignty, having its own (largely green) municipal utilities, etc. You'd think they'd be a bit more hip to the idea of putting otherwise wasted land to some use. Meh, whatever. I'll just grow what I can in my own yard. I wonder if they'd ticket me for growing corn on the easement...

Obama chose to remove his name. Three others didn't.
Pie, I don't know about the others, but both did sign agreements with the DNC both not to campaign in MI and FL, and to have their names removed from the ballots. Obama complied, Clinton did not. Whether that is cause for enmity is another issue, but that is the way it went down.
On Obama in MI. Is this incorrect?
Senator Clinton signed the pledge and kept it. Senator Obama signed the pledge and kept it in Michigan. But in so doing, Senator Obama decided to go further and made a voluntary decision to remove his name from the Michigan ballot. That was his right but it was also his decision. As a result, he denied Michigan the opportunity to vote for a slate of candidates.

In the McCain household, every day is Matlock Day.
The decision of the DNC diminished the significance of the Michigan primary.[5] On October 9, 2007, following Michigan's breach of DNC rules, Barack Obama, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, and John Edwards withdrew from the Michigan Democratic Primary ballot.[6] Dennis Kucinich unsuccessfully sought to remove his name from the ballot.[7] Hillary Clinton and Christopher Dodd decided to remain on the ballot.[8] Although Clinton said she would honor a pledge that she and the other Democratic candidates had earlier made to refrain from campaigning or participating in Michigan,[8]

In the wake of the near-meltdown of the American financial system this week, economists are finally pointing the finger of blame at Alan Greenspan. As the Washington Post details, the former Fed Chairman once lauded as the "Maestro" is now facing withering criticism for helpful fuel the twin crises of the housing market and the financial system. That can't come as good news for John McCain, who recently summed up his minimal knowledge of economics by noting, "I've got Greenspan's book."

I live next door to an abandoned house, in the west San Fernando Valley. Once I realized it was empty, I started keeping an eye on it -- picking up trash on the lawn, taking restaurant flyers off the front door, that sort of thing. One morning I found something that suggested the house might have been broken into, and tried to notify the police. I was told that only the homeowner could make such a report. I repeated that the house was abandoned, and they said in that case the bank was the homeowner, and the bank would have to make the report.
Now, I just happened to know which bank owns the house, so I tried to alert them. Guess what? There is no way in hell to talk to this particular bank about a property you don't own.

20080...lying_ray_death
Judy Kay Zagorski, 57, a community leader around her hometown of Pigeon, Mich., was in the front of a boat going 25 mph on Thursday when a 75-pound spotted eagle ray leapt from the water and hit her in a freak collision.
Monroe County's medical examiner, Dr. Michael Hunter, determined that the cause of death was "blunt force" head injury and that the collision with the ray killed her off Marathon, about 50 miles northeast of Key West.
Hunter's report noted she suffered "multiple skull fractures and direct brain injury resulting in sudden death," said Jorge Pino, spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
She was not stung by the ray. The collision knocked Zagorski backward, onto the floor of the boat, Pino said.
"The force of that impact was dramatic," he said.

Yeah. It does.
Hillary violated them here in MI, both violated them in FL by leaving their names on the ballots.
Sorry, thinly veiled, not to pile on, but I have to correct this.
I can't speak to Michigan's situation, but here in Florida, we had all candidates on our ballot -- even folks like Dodd and Richardson who had dropped out by then.
Under Florida law, in order to have your name removed from the ballot, you have to file an affidavit with the state affirmatively declaring that you are withdrawing from the race altogether, in every state. Obviously neither Clinton or Obama would do that; thus, their names remained on the ballot. It wasn't anything nefarious -- it was just compliance with Florida law.
Good advice for Hillary supporters, too.
Don't worry about us. We're just fine.

Forbes
Standard & Poor's analysts tested the tree-falling-in-an-empty-forest scenario, as it lowered the outlooks for Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers to negative while markets were closed.
The slashed outlook may be especially difficult for Lehman Brothers to stomach. The financial services firm, whose business mix most closely resembles that of virtually collapsed Bear Stearns (nyse: BSC - news - people ), has dismissed recent rumors that it's headed down the same ditch as Bear (See: Financials Fall Into Bear Pit). Analyst Sprinzen says Lehman has done a better job managing its liquidity than Bear. As of Feb. 29, the firm's excess liquidity structure was $34 billion.
Sprinzen called Goldman Sachs' leftover mortgage and leveraged finance-related commitments "manageable" and praised the strength of its liquidity position.
"However ... the firm's emphasis on trading activities and its aggressive risk appetite leave it open to the possibility that major missteps could ultimately occur, leading to a change in investor sentiments," Sprinzen said.
Although Goldman is the most profitable U.S. broker-dealer, Sprizen said last quarter's profits were weak, with sales off 35% from the previous year.
Documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday March 20 show that Goldman's President and Co-Chief Operating Officer Jon Winkelried sold some 30,000 shares at about $173.85 each, totaling approximately $5.2 million, from Wednesday to Thursday. Vice Chairman Michael Sherwood unloaded some 7300 shares at a per share price of about $174.85, totaling close to $1.3 million Wednesday. Goldman could not be reached for comment.
Instead, these two have become inseparable, Goliath often spotted carrying around his feline friend in his mouth.

"My misjudgment at the deepest moral level of what Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld were capable of - a misjudgment that violated the moral core of the enterprise - was my worst mistake. What the war has done to what is left of Iraq - the lives lost, the families destroyed, the bodies tortured, the civilization trashed - was bad enough. But what was done to America - and the meaning of America - was unforgivable. And for that I will not and should not forgive myself either." - Andrew Sullivan

A kindred spirit. A woman after my own heart. In a matter of speaking. If it were possible to OD on Tina, I think I'd be dead at this point. The hawtness, it burns. Anyone who doubts the sheer overpowering sexiness of the Fey needs to see that link. I swear she gets hotter every time I see her.

Starbucks ordered to pay baristas $100 million in back tips
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/
20080...ks_tipping_suit
SAN DIEGO - A Superior Court judge on Thursday ordered Starbucks Corp. to pay its California baristas more than $100 million in back tips and interest that the coffee chain paid to shift supervisors.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Patricia Cowett also issued an injunction that prevents Starbucks' shift supervisors from sharing in future tips, saying state law prohibits managers and supervisors from sharing in employee gratuities.
Starbucks spokeswoman Valerie O'Neil said the company planned an immediate appeal of the ruling, calling it "fundamentally unfair and beyond all common sense and reason."
The lawsuit was filed in October 2004 by Jou Chou, a former Starbucks barista in La Jolla, who complained shift supervisors were sharing in employee tips.
The lawsuit gained ground in 2006 when it was granted class-action status, allowing the suit to go forward for as many as 100,000 former and current baristas in the coffee chain's California stores.
It was not immediately clear how many current and former employees are affected by the ruling.
"I feel vindicated," Chou said in a written statement released by attorneys. "Tips really help those receiving the lowest wages. I think Starbucks should pay shift supervisors higher wages instead of taking money from the tip pool."

Mrs. Clinton’s passport file was breached last summer during a training session for State Department employees. A trainee was encouraged to enter a family member’s name into the passport database for training purposes, Mr. McCormack said. Instead, the trainee entered Mrs. Clinton’s name. Mr. McCormack said the trainee was promptly admonished.

He didn't have to drop out. He did. Probably because he wasn't sure of the vote at that time, so uncommitted could mean anything.
Neither one of them "had to," but BOTH of them signed agreements with the DNC saying that they would. Simple is it. Really, it's nothing to argue over.
Sinfonian, I didn't realize that about the way FL worked. I can see why neither of them did that.
And, I don't think Hillary is evil. Never have. I do think she's run a lousy campaign and surrounded herself with some crappy people. That she didn't make better choices tells me a lot about, yes, her judgment. If that offends, I'm sorry, but it is just my lowly opinion as a voter.
Do you really suppose a full fifth of all Hillary voters will switch to McCain if Obama takes the nomination?

It is obvious that Hillary hates Obama more than McCain. McCain and Hillary are BFFs according to Bill.
If she goes down she is taking Obama with her.
But according to Marketplace tonight (the NPR business radio show) the economy has "turned a corner" and we can all get back to business as usual. They say everything is back to normal, all hail Bernanke the savior.He has applied a tourniquet to the Bear Stearns wound, all is well. If you are struggling with foreclosure or job loss, you're just a loser shitbird and of no import.
Anyway, what I think about HRC is beside the point. I just think it's kinda unfair to accuse charley of not being honest unless he agrees with you. It'd strike me as unfair coming from an Obama supporter, too.
But whatever...I'll vote for either one of 'em regardless of what they or their supporters may say, thanks to my "thick skin."
Oh. Craterface Greenspan is as stupid as Gloria Borger. This is all innocent since they looked at McCain too.
Jeeeeeeez.

I'll tell this story in greater detail at Eschacon, but during one such press conference, I had my then-15-month-old son with me. As the county elections supervisor was spouting some further inanity at the podium, I crept closer to the front, still outside the tent (this was on the courthouse lawn), and when we were about 15 feet to the side of the podium, Jr. started doing "raspberries" with his tongue. He'd recently learned the skill.
I'm quite sure the microphones picked it up.

Dizzy Gillespie's legacy Big Band
The band includes many Gillespie alumni including Musical Director, Slide Hampton, and one of Dizzy’s closest associates and collaborators, James Moody. Other alumni include Frank Wess, Jimmy Heath, Paquito D`Rivera, Roy Hargrove, Antonio Hart, Claudio Roditi, Douglas Purviance and the band’s Executive Director, John Lee, Dizzy's longtime bassist.
Many of the arrangements performed by the band are "vintage" and were written for Dizzy’s big bands of the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s—but they could hardly be described as old or dated. In fact, they continue to stimulate and challenge jazz musicians today just as they continue to dazzle and delight audiences around the world. Some were written by Dizzy himself, others commissioned
from among such distinguished arrangers as Quincy Jones, Gil Fuller, Tadd Dameron, Lalo Schifrin, Melba Liston, and Benny Golson. Newer arrangements have been contributed by Jimmy Heath, Dennis Mackrel and two-time, Grammy Award-winning arranger, Slide Hampton.
The Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band features four winners of the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA) Jazz Masters Award: James Moody, Jimmy Heath, Slide Hampton and Paquito D’Rivera. The NEA award is the highest honor accorded to jazz musicians in the United States.

Unfortunately, that's not how it works.
CNN, standard-bearer of quality news, is airing a segment right now on the face of Jesus in some rock formation out west. Crikey.
Here's a reason for hrc to bow out:
Looking ahead to the General Election in November, John McCain continues to lead both potential Democratic opponents. On Friday morning, McCain leads Barack Obama 49% to 41% and Hillary Clinton 51% to 41% (see recent daily results). New polling from Minnesota shows a very close race in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. With those new poll results, Minnesota moves from Likely Democratic to Leans Democratic in the Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator.

You seemed to imply it. But screw it...if he doesn't care, there's no reason I should.
Look, the only real complaint I have with HRC in practical terms is that I know a few people who've become very unhappy with her recently. I suppose I could just tell 'em they're all idiots, or deluded, or brainwashed by the media, or whatever, but I don't think that'd be constructive, really.
I do defend her, as it happens...just not in that way.
