In an effort to provide better control and coordination, the federal government is launching an ambitious ID program for rescue workers to keep everyday people from swarming to a disaster scene. A prototype of the new first responder identification card is already being issued to fire and police personnel in the Washington, D.C., area.
Proponents say the system will get professionals on scene quicker and keep untrained volunteers from making tough work more difficult.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency came up with the idea after the World Trade Center attack and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when countless Americans rushed to help — unasked, undirected, and sometimes unwanted.
Many of those volunteers angrily dispute the notion they were a burden. They insist that in many instances they were able to deliver respirators, hard hats, and protective boots to workers when no one else seemed able.
Ground zero volunteer Rhonda Shearer and her daughter launched a fast-moving supply system that bypassed regular channels, often infuriating city officials.

In Book, Bush Peeks Ahead to His Legacy
But in an interview with a book author in the Oval Office one day last December, he daydreamed about the next phase of his life, when his time will be his own.
First, Mr. Bush said, “I’ll give some speeches, just to replenish the ol’ coffers.” With assets that have been estimated as high as nearly $21 million, Mr. Bush added, “I don’t know what my dad gets — it’s more than 50-75” thousand dollars a speech, and “Clinton’s making a lot of money.”
Then he said, “We’ll have a nice place in Dallas,” where he will be running what he called “a fantastic Freedom Institute” promoting democracy around the world. But he added, “I can just envision getting in the car, getting bored, going down to the ranch.”
wow - what a jerk!!!
First, Mr. Bush said, “I’ll give some speeches, just to replenish the ol’ coffers.”
Boy, is he in for a surprise.
“I can just envision getting in the car, getting bored, going down to the ranch.”
Him taking a two hour car ride is virtually impossible to imagine.
Point me to this "Free World", please.

wow - what a jerk!!!
Shorter Bush: "When I fuck a nation, it stays fucked."
“I can just envision getting in the car, getting bored, going down to the ranch.”

“I can just envision getting in the car, getting bored, going down to the ranch.”
Yeah, I can see him getting bored doing real work for freedom and democracy. It ain't fun if'n you can't bomb the fuck out of somebody.
For now, though, Mr. Bush told the author, Robert Draper, in a later session, “I’m playing for October-November.” That is when he hopes the Iraq troop increase will finally show enough results to help him achieve the central goal of his remaining time in office: “To get us in a position where the presidential candidates will be comfortable about sustaining a presence,” and, he said later, “stay longer.”
But fully aware of his standing in opinion polls, Mr. Bush said his top commander in Iraq, Gen. David H. Petraeus, would perhaps do a better job selling progress to the American people than he could.
Bush is still trying to compete with his daddy and the Clenis. Was there ever a sadder excuse for a man?
First, Mr. Bush said, “I’ll give some speeches, just to replenish the ol’ coffers.”
Boy, is he in for a surprise.

I have my theories, but I'd read other ideas.
Building on the brilliant insights of Michael Polanyi's The Contempt of Freedom, Roberts explained, much more clearly than Hayek or Mises ever did, exactly why the central planning of an industrial economy is impossible - impossible 'in the sense', as he put it, 'that it is impossible for a cat to swim the Atlantic'.
Moonbootica, Graduate
Not to spend my whole day in petty disagreements with looney Right wing thugs, but hey, GM is a centrally planned industrial economy and it has worked quite well since, oh, maybe five or six years after the Revolution in '17.
All corporations have centrally planned economies. That's how they work. That's how they have always worked. Ford used to be quite famous for it. Boeing SHOULD be famous for it.

When i was in Barcelona the dinner hour started @ 11 p.m.
Aides said Mr. Bush agreed to speak so freely with Mr. Draper only after years of lobbying, in which Mr. Draper said he finally convinced Mr. Bush and his aides that he was writing about him as “a consequential president” for history, not for the latest news cycle. And aides said they saw the book as the first effort to write about Mr. Bush in the context of nearly his entire presidency.
The lobbying culminated at a meeting at the White House last August in which Mr. Bush grilled Mr. Draper on why he should cooperate with him of all the authors likely to come knocking. Mr. Draper replied that his book could provide “the raw material” for others after him, a point Mr. Bush apparently came to embrace.

Is Hezbella (sp?) really funded by Iran, or is that another made up lie?
It's an incredible bit of gall for the Bush assministration to criticize any other nation for funding "terrorists." The warmongering scumbuckets he picked up from Unka Ron's and Poppy's cabals have great record of funding right-wing thugs that like to murder nuns and other innocents.
They weren't politically put down for the mad dogs they are after Iran/Contra, and have come back to fuck the world over with a vengeance.
Is Hezbella (sp?) really funded by Iran, or is that another made up lie?
Hezbollah has more connection with Syria, IIRC.
smalfish, from NYT story last March:
American intelligence analysts say the first detonation of an E.F.P. in Iraq may have come in August 2003. But their view that Iran was playing a role in the attacks emerged slowly. American officials said their assessment of Iranian involvement was based on a cumulative picture that included forensic examination of exploded and captured devices, and parallels between the use of the weapons in Iraq and devices used in southern Lebanon by Hezbollah.
''There was no eureka moment,'' said one senior American official, who like several others would discuss intelligence and administration decision-making only on condition of anonymity.
The entire E.F.P. assembly seen repeatedly in Iraq, including the radio link used to activate it and the infrared sensor used to fire it, had been found only one other place in the world, American officials say: Lebanon, since 1998, where it is believed to have been supplied by Iran to Hezbollah.
According to one military expert, some of the radio transmitters used to activate some of the E.F.P.'s in Iraq operate on the same frequency and use the same codes as devices used against Israeli forces in Lebanon.
More evidence came from the interception of trucks in Iraq, within a few miles of the Iranian border, carrying copper discs machined to the precise curvature required to form the penetrating projectile. Wrappers for C4 explosive, among other items, were traceable to Iran, officials say.
An important part of the American claim comes from intelligence, including interrogation of captured militia members, about Shiite militants who use E..F.P.'s and maintain close ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah.
It's an incredible bit of gall for the Bush assministration to criticize any other nation for funding "terrorists." The warmongering scumbuckets he picked up from Unka Ron's and Poppy's cabals have great record of funding right-wing thugs that like to murder nuns and other innocents.
So that's a yes Iran is funding Hezbella?

In response to Mr. Draper’s observance that Mr. Bush had nobody’s “shoulder to cry on,” the president said: “Of course I do, I’ve got God’s shoulder to cry on, and I cry a lot.” In what Mr. Draper interpreted as a reference to war casualties, Mr. Bush added, “I’ll bet I’ve shed more tears than you can count as president.”

the route for Iranian weapons is supposedly through Syria, and that is why Israel was bombing the routes from Syria into Lebanon last year during the war. It made for a lot of dead Lebanese trying to flee the country to Syria.

well, Hezbollah's first acts were "terrorist" attacks against the US troops in Lebanon during Reagan's presidency, the most famous of which was the attack on the Marine barracks which killed over 200 US Marines.

He otherwise addressed his unpopularity as a tactical issue. For instance, in May he said that this fall it would be up to General Petraeus to convince the public that the Iraq strategy is working.
“I’ve been here too long,” Mr. Bush said, according to Mr. Draper. “Every time I start painting a rosy picture, it gets criticized and then it doesn’t make it on the news.”
But he said he saw his unpopularity as a natural result of his decision to pursue a strategy in which he believed. “I made a decision to lead,” he said, “One, it makes you unpopular; two, it makes people accuse you of unilateral arrogance, and that may be true. But the fundamental question is, is the world better off as a result of your leadership?”
simple answer: no!

Alec Baldwin's take on Larry Craig...
I feel sorry for Larry Craig. Truly. Even though Craig voted to censor Barney Frank for Frank's tryst with a male prostitute. Craig has been behind some of the most intolerant and anti-gay legislation that a US Senator could put his mark on. Now the very condition that drives countless gay men and women into the closet, the bathroom stall or the hospital may have claimed Sen. Craig himself. That is not a cause for gloating. That is sad. Pathetic and sad.
No one can honestly say what Craig did or did not do. No one can know his real intentions. In the new, jacked-up reality of airport "security", maybe those cops in Minneapolis jumped the stall. But if Craig has the chance, especially now that his Republican colleagues have cut his throat, maybe he will experience a change of heart and realize that to be gay, whether he is or not, ought not be a shameful thing, let alone a crime, for anyone. Had he embraced at least that he might still be a Senator today.
I don't believe we should be sympathetic to Craig at all...

Of course we shouldn't. He's like Bill Bennett - another 'Holier than Thou' asshole.
Mr. Bush acknowledged one major failing of the early occupation of Iraq when he said of disbanding the Saddam Hussein-era military, “The policy was to keep the army intact; didn’t happen.”
But when Mr. Draper pointed out that Mr. Bush’s former Iraq administrator, L. Paul Bremer III, had gone ahead and forced the army’s dissolution and then asked Mr. Bush how he reacted to that, Mr. Bush said, “Yeah, I can’t remember, I’m sure I said, ‘This is the policy, what happened?’ ” But, he added, “Again, Hadley’s got notes on all of this stuff,” referring to Stephen J. Hadley, his national security adviser.
huh?? absolutely clueless!

The vast potential of the American people still lies untapped. The time has come to unleash it. The technique is well-known in most foreign countries, though not here. But it’s actually quite simple. It’s called a General Strike.
When I say “General Strike”, I mean it’s for all of us. You don’t have to be a General to take part.
But what is it against? That’s up to each of us.
It can be against Torture, against the War in Iraq, against the 9/11 Coverup, against False Flag Terror in general, against the shredding of the Bill of Rights, against the destruction of our Electoral System, against the privatization of America’s military, against the corruption of our Mainstream Media, against a regime powered by multi-million dollar “Public Diplomacy” campaigns, against rampant anti-democratic Globalization, against rule by Secrecy and Lies, against unlimited warrantless Surveillance… It can be against any or all of these things, and many more

Trader Joe's is flogging sweet potato chips in its newest Frequent Flyer brochure. $1.99. And SFChronicle has this:
Sweet Potato Biscuits - Makes 10
1/2 cup, or about one medium sweet potato, cooked and mashed : 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour : 1/2 cup whole wheat flour : 1 tablespoon baking powder : 1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
3/4 cup 2% milk :
Instructions: Heat the oven to 450°.
Fill a medium-size pot with cold water. Quarter the sweet potato, add it to the pot, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until soft. Drain, let the potato cool completely, peel, and set aside. This can be done a day in advance.
Combine the flours, baking powder and salt in a medium-size mixing bowl. Stir to mix well. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until it has the consistency of corn meal. Chill the mixture until you are ready to use.
In a small bowl, combine the milk and cooled sweet potato and mix well using a fork or whisk. Add to the flour mixture all at once, and stir quickly until it just forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and with floured hands, knead until it just comes together. Do not overwork the dough, or it will become tough. Pat the dough out until it is a 1/2-inch thick. Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter or with the floured top of a drinking glass. Gather the scraps, pat out and cut again until all the dough is used. Place the dough rounds on a cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are a light golden brown.

What other shit was thrown out during the rabid Republican mob as they savaged Clinton?

Which is why I laugh loudly at them every chance I get.
I would love to see an entirely gay Congress, if only to drive the fundies absolutely nuts. Just as long as the national anthem doesn't get replaced with some galloping Euro synth beats.

not in the bathroom. but the crime was dealt with fairly - misdemeanor violation of privacy, $500 fine.
then he tried to cover it up, and make a mockery of the judicial system by either pleading guilty to game the system or lying afterward to excuse himself.
but, as i said in yhe links referenced above, the worst thing he did was equate "being gay" with being an unworthy human being. he could have been straight up and made it all go away. he could have said "none of your business what my sexual preference is, or anyone else's for that matter."
instead he chose to blame the people that he demonizes and legislates discrimination against. and he is still doing so.
"i am not gay. i have never been gay."
dirk gently, sociopathetic©
your point would be.....?
That was the only thing that mattered to him, that he could convince people that he wasn't gay. Because the appearance of "normalcy" was so fucking important to him in order to keep his powerful Senator job.
And the "never have been" says that he's bought into the idea that you can choose, or change.

Sarah Deere, it's quite possible the Rethug's turning on Craig was WH-generated. Otherwise I have no sympathy for him. The cop went into the rest room after the airport received complaints about him. Let him find a gay bar to hang out in if he wants action.
You see, it's not that Craig was closeted. It's that he actively promoted polices that hurt gays, deliberately ramped up hatred against them for political gain. He adopted his wife's kids, but thanks to politicians of his ilk, not one openly out has the same right in many if not most states.
Anti-gay policies that Craig actively promoted cost gay personal happiness, result in economic losses, and sometimes get them beaten up and killed. Craig got pushed from the Senate, true, but he'll land on his feet somewhere thanks to some of his old cronies. Only his pride will be hurting.
Sympathy for Craig? Surely you jest.

He also disagreed w/Bush.
Republican Senators Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, Larry Craig of Idaho and Olympia Snowe of Maine question Bush’s actions along with Pennsylvania Republican Arlen Specter, chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee.
“I have grave doubts as to its applicability,” says Specter. “The President’s actions raise very fundamental questions about privacy and the Bill of Rights.”

If you donp;t think this has anything to do with Craig's current predicament, then you do not understand how vicious the Rethuigs are. They will do anything to win. Anything. We still don;t "get" that - but we are waging "war" against an enemy who sees us (rightfully) as the opposition who will line up like the Old Armies, ready to be slaughtered and decimated by snipers and guerilla-style fighters who have no such manners or niceties in their mindset. Everything is about divide and conquer.

sarah deere, that's almost exactly the point. i wish they could support him independant of whether he is a gay man or not. that it wasn't even an issue. but he is one of the people at the top who made it an issue, and still doesn't get it.
my comment posted at smashed frog:
---------
i'll go even beyond homophobia AND sexophobia. this whole incident is the result of an environment polluted with bigotry, hatred, and selfishness.
assume the charges are all true, and other passengers at the airport were begging the cops to protect them from constant harrassment. why would anyone be reduced to seeking secret anonymous sex in a public restroom? especially a united states senator? because of the demonization and public revulsion nurtured by the poison infiltrating the untinking mass consiousness.
assume larry craig is gay. why does that have any bearing on whether or not he is qualified to represent the state of idaho in the senate? why is it even a story topic for the statesman or the blogs? only because he and people like him have made one's personal sexual orientation a moral indicator and measure of value. even if larry had NOT been one of the homophobes (which his repeated pronouncements of "i am not gay" show him to be), he would have suffered the same fate.
now assume that craig is completely innocent as he has claimed. why would he plead guilty in a stupid attempt to keep the existance of the case from public view? only because he knew that the taint of his own gay-bashing would stick to him like drying jizz. why should he even HAVE to declare that he "is not gay, has never been gay"? only because of the immoral nonmajority declaring gayness to be icky, evil and dangerous.
but homophobia is not the only scent we can pick out of the stench. whether it's about sex or gender or race or color or religion, we are diminished as a whole when these things are even considered in judging a person's worth. is obama black enough? too black? is hillary butch enough? is edwards? is romney too mormon?
everyone is damaged.

That's the point at which he stuck a fork in his own eye. Why would a US senator plead guilty -- without representation!--unless he was trying to cover something up? Why would he not tell his family?
why would anyone be reduced to seeking secret anonymous sex in a public restroom?
This has come up a number of times and I am not convinced it is out of necessity. I have many gay friends who tell me that it is the added excitement stemming from the danger and the anonymity.

i've heard that too, but i'm not sure i buy it completely. there's a societal pathology that creates the danger and the resulting excitement, imho.
in any case, i personally think that privacy of a bathroom stall deserves protection. try and pick me up in a park, fine. i'll politely decline and be flattered, you can go on your way. but not in the restroom. and certainly not when i am seated.

We start doing it as little kids, when we spin in circles to get dizzy.
I have many gay friends who tell me that it is the added excitement stemming from the danger and the anonymity.
I think it's even more than that. I think he felt secure in his powerful position, knowing he could break the rules that he mandated for "the little people." Look how fast he whipped out his U.S. senator card. I bet that's worked every time up until now. And it may well be the reason it didn't work now was a WH ambush.
I feel the same about Rush "throw all drug users in prison" Limbaugh and sincerely wish his drug arrest had gotten his hate-filled ass off the air. I feel the same about Bill "double or nothing" Bennett.
These people hurt others openly and with full knowledge of what they're doing, all for money and power. The day one of them, when caught, says, "Yes, I fucked, I was wrong to spread hatred of others for things I was doing myself, and I promise to make restitution by helping other get accepted/get treated," and then have them follow thru with it, then I'll extend my hand.

Well said! And Exactly!!
Granted, we've certainly had our fair share of overzealous police in Portland, OR. Sarah Deere and I might be just a wee paranoid. Naturally we don't believe in public bathroom sex. Check this out - from Bush's last (hopefully final) visit to Portland:
Among those caught in the police-induced melee included a TV camerawoman, a family of five who were attempting to leave the protest, as well as dozens of other peaceful protesters, many of whom didn't know what was happening until they were doused with pepper spray. Three members of the Independent Police Review Division observing the police tactics also experienced the burn-in-the-eyes and confusion after they too were soaked with chemicals.

as for me, i don't think it's bigger than the hypocricy. if craig is straight as he claims, it does not change my opinion of him or people like him.
and i also am appalled at the presumption that homosexual rendevous should be prevented by sting operations, or that gay men should not be allowed to stay in the closet if they want. but i also think people should expect to be afforded privacy in a public privat. and i don't think there ought be a reason gays would want to be closeted.

If Larry Craig wants to be gay, good for him. That's not the issue. I was once on a ship from Catalina Island to Long Beach. The crew had to drag a couple out of the head who were engaged in sex. There was a line of people waiting to use the head for its actual function. Sex is wonderful. But not at noon in the Mnpls airport restroom with someone who is taking a shit.

Craig was against including sexual orientation as part of the definition of hate crime. He also opposed legislation making it illegal to fire people because of their sexual orientation.

I agree with you there.
Though Craig may have made a few weak efforts to break with Bush on the war, he touted the "family values" agenda that Bush has also hypocritically supporteed. In that he support Bush and the Rethug Party's hateful agenda. As tragic as the war is, that's not the only evil Bush has perpetrated.

Well, some of my 'info' comes from reading lots and lots about Soviet life, including 803 members of the same family crammed into 300 sq feet, and couples having sex where it could be viewed.
Not all children were untraumatized, though as I mentioned I'm sure some just learned to think the lack of privacy and intimacy was normal and learned to block out mom/dad aunt/uncle having sex.
Of course, Russian/Soviet culture may also have something to do with said trauma.

if a woman hit on me while i was in the stall i would be equally bothered.

it looks like there is a connection between McHenry and a murderous Republican homosexual love triangle/escort service.
The murdered gay Republicans include Ralph Reed's purported ex-lover, Ralph Gonzalez (former head of the rabidly homophobic Georgia Republican Party), David Abrami and McHenry guy-pal Robert Drake, the shooter.

U.S. Military Deaths in Iraq at 3,738
By The Associated Press
3 hours ago
As of Saturday, Sept. 1, 2007, at least 3,738 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes seven military civilians. At least 3,061 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers.
The AP count is three higher than the Defense Department's tally, last updated Friday at 10 a.m. EDT.
The British military has reported 168 deaths; Italy, 33; Ukraine, 18; Poland, 21; Bulgaria, 13; Spain, 11; Denmark, seven; El Salvador, five; Slovakia, four; Latvia, three; Estonia, Netherlands, Thailand, two each; and Australia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Romania, South Korea, one death each.

Staten Island, while it has some lovely parts, is NYC's equivalent of "the heartland". - watertiger
My sole experience with SI is going to some estate to see a summer concert in 1968 that featured Pete Seeger and Janis Ian. It was a nice night.
Overdeveloped, overpriced, overcrowded, just about everyplace downwind from Freshkills (formerly the world's largest landfill).

Queens and Brooklyn may be too far to commute for Noelle. Noelle's aunt thought that SI might be a viable alternative to living in NJ. Still and all, I'm excited about possibly living near civilization again.

From SI? Ferry is only direct route. You could take the SI Expressway over the Guinea Gangplank (Verrazano Bridge) to Brooklyn, then take the Belt to the BQE and use the Brooklyn Br., Manhattan Br. or Battery Tunnel. There are also MTA buses that follow the same route.
Its an insane route to travel. Some folks I know cut through Jersey to get to Manhattan but they are on the extreme Western end of Reaganland,

coff...e_new_hypocrite
Mark Schmidt writes about Larry Craig's replacement: An outstanding example of public hypocrisy. He claimed that Idahoans didn't ask the Feds for anything when one of their dams broke--which is the exact opposite of what happened--and that people of New Orleans should stop begging and whining, etc.
Brief and interesting.
...the endless quest for Craig's brand of hypocrisy, and our tendency to overlook the grander self-delusion that fuels American conservatism (and which Larry Craig embodied as well), reminds me of a wonderful passage from Hendrik Hertzberg, almost twenty years ago, writing in the New Yorker about Gary Hart:
"The gross violation of the privacy of Gary Hart, Lee Hart, and their children is part of a general degradation of the public sphere and a general weakening of the distinction between the public and the private realms of life in the United States. This is a social phenomenon with many sources -- the Reagan Administration's deligitimation of public action, the human potential movement's hostility toward "hypocrisy" and exaltation of "authenticity," and the feminists' dictum that the personal is the political, to name three. But none of this justifies the Miami Herald and the Washington Post any more than the correlation between poverty and crime justifies mugging."
I think Rick's insight that the quest for public/private "hypocrisy" is an excuse for a kind of invasion of privacy, and in turn supports a deligitimation of the public sphere, is one that has borne out well through the Clinton years and the exaltation of such "authentic" politicians as John McCain and George W. Bush. And it's why I feel little other than sympathy for Larry Craig and wish that the self-delusion of his successor were as disqualifying.

What's the name of the film?
Janeane, this show was live last night. He's back!
Call me irresponsible...call me ridiculous, call me stupid beyond redemption, call me hopeless, call me too late for dinner.....and much, much more. But today was the first time I fully, completely, viscerally understood that the Rethug party will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to win, including killing (or otherwise destroying) any and everyone in their way. They mean to rule, period. They do not share, they do not compromise, they do not consider what's best for the people, forthe country. They only consider what's best for them, and for the corporations that pay their "real" salaries.
They have no rules, no ethics, no morals. They will literally do whatever it takes to get and to remain in power.
I knew it, I guess...but not quite.
Now, I do.

I read somewhere (maybe Huffington) that Rumsfeld is looking very old and weatherbeaten.
He's hardly been seen since he was fired.
Maher's IMDB page doesn't mention his religion movie, but he did two different Murder She Wrotes

Hell of a way to make a living
I don't know where that's from, but in my mind I hear Rodney Dangerfield delivering the rejoinder

I imagine the joke has been around a long time.

Oops, sorry, but he does go on vacation quite a bit, much more than he did when PI was on ABC...
I still jerk off manually.

I don't love that song, but it is one of the things that made our age difference not matter.
I turned her on to Elvis Costello and The Pretenders, ect.. and she brought back music I wrote off long ago.

logged on figuring i'd have the most altered bloodstream in here. guess not. pretty certain i won't be able to get a word in edgewise for awhile.
maybe i'll just go back out on the dock. some of the stupid things i thunk of out there made a lot of sense. you know... at least to me at the time anyway.
