Overreaction to Bush Administration Complaint Prompted Block on 'Abortion' Searches
By Sarah Lai Stirland EmailApril 04, 2008 | 2:52:54 PM
University administrators of the world's largest scientific database on reproductive health blocked the word "abortion" as a search term after receiving a complaint from the Bush administration over two abortion-related articles listed in the database.
"The items in question had to do with abortion advocacy -- the two items dealing with abortion were removed following this inquiry, and the administrators made a decision to restrict abortion as a search term," said Tim Parsons, a spokesman for the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Maryland.
The blocking of the keyword "is a decision that the dean does not support in any way," he added, and the administrators are unblocking the search for the term right now.

Actually, ELISA's are usually colorimetric too. They put either horseradish peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase on the detection antibody, and then incubate the well with a chromogenic sustrate. That's why it's called the enzyme-linked immunosoebent asay. But that's weenie talk. I'll stop it now.

Conyers is happy that John McCain has apologized for voting against Martin Luther King Jr.s holiday. It's only taken him 25 years to see the error of his ways. 25 years and his second run for the presidency.
By the way, while McCain was apologizing for being a bigot 25 years ago, he had a black man holding his umbrella for him. (irony?)

What happened was the bad guys backed down because they were getting crushed! … Moqtada al-Sadr is in hiding in Iran. That’s how tough it is.

Everyone makes mistakes? Like, invading the wrong country? Not supporting an MLK holiday? These are not "mistakes" these are catastrophic errors in judgment.
You're absolutely right.
I'd be interested to know who came up with this idea of him going to Memphis. It could be the sign of a more sophisticated political mind, obviously not McInsanes. And I say this because I still think it's important to know your enemy better than they do.

I think it will help him with the AA vote. He showed he was willing to take the heat in front of a black audience --at the exact site of MLK's murder, no less. And admitting you were wrong about something could bring him some sympathy and could make up for Bob Jones.
How many voters are going to change their mind about a candidate because of a weak, politically-expedient apology years and years and years after the fact? "My friends, McCain sucks on health care, the war, poverty, education, the environment, social justice issues, women's health issues and everything that I hold dear, but he apologized for his vote in 1983, so I'm gonna vote for him."
Conyers:
Well look. I’m happy. That was in 1983, he didn’t make any apology, he didn’t make any apologies in 1987, so I guess I’m thrilled and forgiving that finally when he’s running for President he remembers to apologize. No, that’s great.

In Arizona, a bill to recognize a holiday honoring MLK failed in the legislature, so then-Gov. Bruce Babbitt, a Democrat, declared one through executive order.
In January 1987, the first act of Arizona's new governor, Republican Evan Mecham, was to rescind the executive order by his predecessor to create an MLK holiday. Arizona's stance became a national controversy.
McCain backed the decision at the time. But eventually he changed his mind.

But I don't think McCain is trying to get votes with the apology, I think he's trying to diffuse a potentially embarrassing part of his past that could be highlighted later.
Now his pals in the media can say, yes, he used to be bad, but he sincerely regrets it. End of story.

Peak Oil is a particular concern of mine, but today it occurred to me that there is an upside: car dealers will, sooner or later, be a thing of thepast. I cannot adequately describe the bitterness with which I hate car dealers.
I'm in the market for a used car - I'm looking for a Toyota Corolla, '03 or newer so I go into the local Toyota dealership, motivated to buy and ready to bargain.
A sales associate named Jimmy, maybe 20 years old, shows me a Corolla I'm interested in: 2003, LE model, previously owned by a non-smoker, good condition. I say, "let's go sit and talk." and we go sit at the table in the showroom where little old ladies get fleeced. "Looks interesting. What do you want for it?" I ask.
"$11,500, but we'll entertain any reasonable offer," sales associate tells me.
I look at him like, nice try, and tell him, "Go tell your boss I'll give him $8,500 for the car, cash."
So, Young Hungry Sales Associate goes and gets his boss, who turns out to be an extremely oily guy with silver hair dressed like he's just come off the golf links at the country club.
He sits down at the table, looks at me, and with an "I'm going to confide in you" tone of voice says, "Jimmy here tells me you've offered $8,500 for the car."
"Yep."
"Well, I should let you know, we paid $10,500 for that car, and we can't just give- "
Well, as I said, I just fucking hate car dealers; I basically think they're all a bunch of crooks, so that just set me off.
"Hey, Golf-Shirt-Guy," I interrupted. "You paid ten-five for that car? Really?! I hear you say that, and know for an absolute certainty that one of two things is true: either you're a moron and paid $3,500 more than the Kelly trade-in value for the car, in which case Jimmy here needs to polish his resume, because you're gonna be out of business in a month or two; or, you're lying to me. Which is it?"
He changed to a try-to-understand-my-position tone, and said, "Well, you have to understand - It costs money to keeps the lights on, plus rent for a location like-"
"Yeah, whatever, dude. Whine about it to your accountant. Here's the thing: you paid...ok, I'll assume your associate signed the papers before you could check...$7200, tops, for that car. Since I'm paying cash, I figure the paperwork to sell me this car will take about 15 minutes. Do you want to make $1500 for 15 minutes of work? That's $100 per minute: Hell, I'd take that. Go in the back, 'check with the manager' or whatever, and bring me a sales contract for $8700, and I'll help you make money today. And hurry up."
He went away for a few minutes, and came back with a sales paper that had $9500 as the price. I threw it in his lap, said, "Fuck you," and walked out in the middle of his sentence. I noticed Jimmy had turned his back, and was laughing his ass off.
I so fucking hate car dealers.

Alterman is a douchebag primarily because he takes his position for granted. His were always the lazist and least important contributions to the Nation, and his little column icons the most pretentious. He makes us want to hit him and hit him and then not allow him to document the life-changing saga of getting hit a couple of times. There is one good thing about him, which is itself damning: he was the one privileged media Manhattanite to explain the real reason for the love of Judith Miller, her husband's fabulous parties.

He was rotting in a North Vietnam prison , having had his airplane shot out from under him by Communist surface to air missiles. So he wasn't able to tune in to all the subtleties of the civil rights movement while his arms were being torn out of their sockets by Communists. The American blacks will forgive him for that oversight. In any event, he admitted his vote was wrong and Americans love candor in their President

John McCain got MLK Day wrong in the beginning, certainly out of malice. He was lounging in a North Vietnam prison , having lost his fifth airplane, some shot out from under him. He wasn't able to tune in to all the subtleties of the civil rights movement while his arms were being used to kill Vietnamese civilians. The American blacks will have to forgive him for that oversight. In any event, he admitted his vote was wrong and Americans love candor in their racists.

I was just listening to Birmingham Sunday. This is the original wire story about the incident.
United Press International September 16, 1963
Birmingham, Sept. 15 -- A bomb hurled from a passing car blasted a crowded Negro church today, killing four girls in their Sunday school classes and triggering outbreaks of violence that left two more persons dead in the streets.
Two Negro youths were killed in outbreaks of shooting seven hours after the 16th Street Baptist Church was bombed, and a third was wounded.
As darkness closed over the city hours later, shots crackled sporadically in the Negro sections. Stones smashed into cars driven by whites.
Five Fires Reported
Police reported at least five fires in Negro business establishments tonight. A official said some are being set, including one at a mop factory touched off by gasoline thrown on the building. The fires were brought under control and there were no injuries.
Meanwhile, NAACP Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins wired President Kennedy that unless the Federal Government offers more than "picayune and piecemeal aid against this type of bestiality" Negroes will "employ such methods as our desperation may dictate in defense of the lives of our people."
Reinforced police units patrolled the city and 500 battle-dressed National Guardsmen stood by at an armory.
City police shot a 16-year-old Negro to death when he refused to heed their commands to halt after they caught him stoning cars. A 13-year-old Negro boy was shot and killed as he rode his bicycle in a suburban area north of the city.

McStain was never tortured, he spent his term in a hotel in Saigon, surrounded by hookers. His POW brothers hate his guts, and call him "Songbird", for spilling in seconds. He destroyed 5, count 'em, 5 airplanes, and was responsible for 140 American deaths after setting a carrier on fire. he is the son and grandson of admirals, and has no more moral authority or courage than George Bush.

We are currently reading David Peace's 1977. It's earlier than what we'd read of his already (GB84 and TY0), and his style, while perfectly recognizable, is clumsier, but he's still the best English-language novelist alive right now. The novel has a lot about police violence on impoverished British Blacks ("nig-nogs"), and as always Peace gives you the feeling that being more honest than any documentary is scarier than any horror flick. In one scene a Black suspect waiting for his main interrogator in a guard-assisted stress position is carefully shown a newspaper clipping decorating the wall of the interview room. It details how police had been cleared of all wrongdoing in the death of a suspect in custody.

My dad had taken us out for McDonalds that night, back when you used to order and eat in your car. He was playing the radio when we heard that Dr. King had been shot. I still have a photo of my dad at the funeral. So much hope ended that day. King at least let you hope that America was going to live up to her potential. I still remember that sad, scared feeling in the back seat of the station wagon.
