My theory has been that the military draft should start at age 40 and work its way down.
1 - Forty year olds already have kids, the gene pool survives
2 - they could use 13 weeks of basic training to get into shape
3 - It'll get them away from the spouse and try something new (so to speak).

Gen. Stanley McChrystal, Kabul:
“At the end of the day, you’re fighting for the population, not with the population or against the population,” General McChrystal said. “As you fight for them, you are trying to convince them. You are in an argument with the enemy over the population, and they are listening, and they are watching what you do and what you say. They are going to decide based on who makes the most convincing argument.”
“Are you protecting them? Can you stop them from being coerced at midnight by an armed man who shows up and threatens them?” the general continued. “It’s a retail war.”

Senator Coburn tried to corner Judge Sotomayor on some Federal "right to self-defense", and Sotomayor said she could recall no SCOTUS cases dealing with such a question -- and indeed, aren't there differences among States concerning the extent to which an individual may protect himself from aggression from others?

How much over was the bill?
And even there, recall the 911 call where the dispatcher tried to dissuade a man from shooting robbers next door.
The actual bill was 59 dollars and change, the bill they estimated and posted online was $204.85
204.85$! Good grief! And they think offering you 25$ will make you shut up?

Don't know this story. Was it just neighbors coming home? Was it in Texas? Was the caller drunk or were there really robbers?
Well, it's something. My objection was also that they applied the amount overpaid to a newer bill not yet due without asking, and hung on to my money, when money is always very tight for me. I'm not trying to take them for a ride -- I agreed.
It was an elderly neighbor in Texas, insisting to the dispatcher "I'm gonna shoot them" and he did and killed them.
Even though the grand jury could have indicted him as he had no "self-defense right" to kill them, they chose not to.

I think it's because he is so controversial. Also because he is a long time DC insider and apparently a darling of MSNBC.
Rachel may not like Pat; she likes to spar, intellectually -- and I've seen her call him out when he's gone too far.
Jesse Ventura hit the nail on the head about the Sotamayer spectacle in the senate. He said it's all politicle posturing. When the democrats want to appoint a judge the republicans make a big deal out of it and visa versa and the litmus test always seems to be Roe v. Wade.

And Pat Buchanan still an asshole.
It is, but this time all the arrested protesting whackos have been vocal anti-choice nuts.
I recall not too long ago where Lawrence O'Donnell ripped Pat a new a##hole on Hardball during the CIA/Pelosi debacle. He shut Pat right up when he mentioned how the CIA lied to congress about mining the harbor of Nicaragua and also that many in South and Central America dislike America for what we have done in their countries. Pat was absolutely speechless, knowing O'Donnell spoke the truth.
Rachel and Dahlia Lithwick discussed Pat's icky current column at humanevents.com.

I recall once exposing a friend to the wonders of web pr0n by typing in pussy.com/ and hitting "return."
It kind of bothered me the other day when someone posted that the Clintons were heavily involved in "The Family" on C Street in D.C. They cited two articles, one in Mother Jones and one based on it in The Nation. Those articles said that Bill spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast every year and Hillary regularly attended Bible study with the wives of the whackos. That was the sum total of the evidence. What the articles didn't state was that every president since DDE spoke at the Breakfast every year. They have two speakers, one a guest and the other the sitting president. I found that info after five seconds of googling. Hillary has said that she attended a few Bible study sessions with Tipper.
It bothers me just as much when the left does a hit job as when the right does it. Lord knows there's enough to go after the Clintons. Accusing them of being religious whackos who want to bring about Biblical law to the U.S. is really over the top.

What QL is talking about is an article in the Progressive and a comment by Barbara Ehrenreich in the Nation. They did not claim the clintons to be conspirators, but did show them to be uncomfortably entangled in the C-street family. For all the whining about Obama's talk about bipartisanship, the Clintons have demonstrated a long naivete about the far right.
Almost 4am... off to see if I can sleep...Happy morning to the rest of you guys!
Yup, the Family is a very scary outfit and I'm glad they're getting exposure as the face of the rethug party.
According to Wiki the National Prayer Breakfast was originally known as the Congressional Prayer Breakfast. Following tradition, President Obama spoke in 2009. Maybe with the exposure he'll have a cold next year.
I was talking to a Nigerian friend about Obama.
She said he looked white, not Kenyan.
I was quite surprised and asked her why she said that.
She went on to explain that the white characteristics are quite strong and if someone is half and half, the white characteristics stand out.
I laughed and told her that white peoplle said the same thing about "black" traits.
Rep. Zach Wamp has played his connections to The Family so poorly (complaining to Rachel for reading his quote from the Knoxville newspaper, but not to the newspaper itself) that Rachel is sure she has something.

A just-issued World Public Opinion survey finds that opinion of President Obama is generally positive on a personal level and has boosted America’s battered image.
But 66–68% of British, French, Poles, Ukrainians, Iraqis and Egyptians surveyed believed the US was abusing its great power. In Russia, the result was 75%. In two key US allies, an alarming 86% in Turkey, and 90% in Pakistan. These last two figures are very ominous. They show intense public opposition to the pro-US policies of these nations, a recipe for violence or even revolution.

The woman suspected the diagnosis was wrong. She finally went out of pocket to Baltimore where the child (now 11) was properly diagnosed with dissociative personality disorder (she was reimbursed for that, luckily).

Bruno does not interest me in the least. I find the Cohen guy offensive to say the least.

ogether, they acted in children's TV shows, did commercials and created music.
Now, Scarborough twins Ronald and Donald Croft, 40, have both been charged with possession of and accessing child porn.
The identical twins, who are known as Ron and Don, were charged as part of an Internet investigation that started in June 2006, Det. Const. Jeff Kidd of Toronto Police's Sex Crimes unit said yesterday....
Another neighbour, Mason, said the twins were always together – biking on a twin-seat bike, walking to the nearby convenience store or sitting in the front yard. He saw them a few days ago.
"I have never seen them without the other," he said. "We knew they had a gig together because they were always chatting about it."
The brothers, who have always dressed identically – even hats and shoes – and have shoulder-length, dark blond hair, have lived in the single-storey house with their mother for at least 10 years, said another neighbour.
According to the brothers' website, which was inaccessible four hours after the police announcement, the twins have appeared on the Maury Povich show, in an athletic-wear commercial and were briefly on Degrassi: The Next Generation.
Ew. Kinky Canucks.

All the identicals I've known have been very unhappy when separated from their twin. One gal in Milan told me how one day she felt a sharp pain in one of breasts for no reason. Then she felt an uncontrollable urge to call her twin in CA even though it wasn't their regular day for chatting. Sure enough, her sister had just had a breast biopsy done.
