In my CBT group they were talking about anxiety leading to sleep problems.
I told them about the time I couldn't sleep and it was making me crazy. I had a boss who was like one of those crazy bosses you saw in a movie. Up at 5:00 on the treadmill calling me and leaving messages for me. I was working insane hours 6 days a week (although a relative who was a lawyer trying to point out that he had to provide even more billable hours than I did-he just had to beat me in the macho "work yourself into the ground until you burn out" category.
I was telling the sleep specialists what my schedule was like and what I was responsible for. It became clear to him, and then to me, that I was never "home from work" that I was constantly on call. I couldn't even relax in my sleep because I knew that when I woke up there were be more work waiting for me via voicemail and email.
Thousands rally in Iraq against proposed U.S troop deal
BAGHDAD — Tens of thousands of Iraqis rallied in the streets of Baghdad Saturday against a proposed American-Iraqi deal that would allow U.S. troops to stay in the country for three more years.
Muqtada al Sadr, a widely influential Shiite cleric who called for the demonstration, issued a statement demanding that Iraq's parliament reject the deal.
"These are the Iraqi people in front of you, rejecting this agreement," Sadr's statement said. "The treaty is in your hands, so the destiny and reputation of Iraq also is in your hands ... If (the government) told you that this agreement will give you sovereignty, they are liars."
After seven months of wearying back and forth, negotiators completed a draft deal this week. For it to take effect, however, the proposal must win approval from Iraq's Political Council for National Security, the prime minister's cabinet and parliament.
U.S. officials are desperately hoping to finalize the agreement before Dec. 31, when a United Nations mandate that has allowed American troops to operate in Iraq will expire. If a deal isn't in place by the end of the year, American forces in Iraq could technically become illegal occupiers.
They're already illegal occupiers. sheesh!!

There's a rumour that his great-great-great-great granparents on his mother's side were actually married.
No corroboration though.
Half Moon Bay is about 45 minutes south of San Francisco along the coast. Great little place to hang out. Some nice restaurants (I recommend a dive called the Flying Fish which serves killer fish and chips and cole slaw you can actually eat - and want to!). Up the road a ways is a little town called Pescadero which has a great goat cheese farm and an old-timey bar/restaurant called Duarte's that's pretty cool.
This is the time of the year to be on the Northern Californian coast - best weather you'll see.

Pirate, the resident lab, is still hyper at five years of age ... the only thing that slows him down is a couple dozen swims across the Missouri to retrieve ducks ... In the absence of ducks, I throw two or three pound boulders into the River, and he'll dive and retrieve those. Tough on teeth, but he loves it. Calms him down too.

Hank broke her canines on an elephant ball before she learned to move it with her head. Had to take her to a canine dentist.
She's pretty hyper for a 5 year old,
not for a black lab, they're puppies until about 6.
Another under-the-radar slime tactic has been the distribution of over 20 million copies of DVDs of "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West." This video is being placed in newspapers and mailboxes around the country by the Clarion Fund, a pro-Bush outfit. Fundies are eating it up.
http://www.obsessionthemovie.com/
A relative of mine who is canvassing for Obama in SW Missouri reports that this video showed up in mailboxes all over the region last week. People she is calling and contacting are citing it as a reason they aren't going to vote for Obama.
See, they learned from emails that Obama's a muslim, and then they learned from McCain that Obama isn't like us and has dark secrets (i.e., he's a muslim but won't admit it), and now they have a video that tells them muslims want to take over the
West and impose Sharia law.
All part of the slime machine.
Council on American-Islamic Relations considers it such a big deal they want IRS to revoke the Clarion Fund's tax exempt status because they are campaigning for McCain by distributing this video.

I'm setting off on a trip down to Santa Barbara tomorrow.
I used to love Santa Barbara because I would go on retreats there. But the group that held the retreats there sold the house and the land. :-(
I think Half Moon Bay is north from San Francisco.
nope
NTodd, it is good to have lawyers on board. Even so, it appears the 'correct' town policeman has to be notified. (By correct, I mean Dem.) His brother, the chief, is Republican.
This sort of stuff is silly, while the aggression is not. It seems that on weekends Obama workers are out and visible canvassing, no argumentative visitors. During the week, when they think there are less people......
The police were just here (my house) a few hours ago. I reported signs missing and so did many neighbors. This too, is really nothing, but if I make an incident report, it will have to be in the paper. I'm hoping that may get us some O supporters, out of the fence sitters. Many, many McCain signs went untouched.
And Mavericks, where the insane surfing is done, is just north of Pescadero's Harbor.
Once a hidden spot known only to the hardcore. No more!
We were up in Half Moon Bay in August. Just in time for the Pescadero Fun Fair! Love those small-town events...

The mother of my best friends used to live in Mendocino. We'd go up for a week every 4th of July and crash at her place. Then we'd "volunteer" to run the first shift at the beer booth on the 4th at the local historical museum she was in charge of. We'd finish up about 3 and then hang out at Dick's, the greatest dive bar in the world, for the rest of the afternoon.

Spocko: sorry, I wandered off into meatspace for a while & just saw your question from below.
Karin: If you sell your car does that count for more than you paid for it, can that be taxed as a capital gain?
spocko
Technically, I believe the answer is yes. But that's like voluntarily mailing in the sales tax you owe for purchases you made out of state. Or paying taxes on your eBay collectible items that you sold for more than you paid for them. No one ever does it.
Of course, with the car you could deduct all the repairs and maintenance, which I assume was needed to keep the value up, so it's probably not really showing a profit.
Anyone stupid and racist enough to believe such obvious bullshit wasn't going to vote for a black man anyway.

Distribution of this video is obviously designed to help McCain, and should be considered as campaign activity. Should be publicized too, that's the way to deal with it. There should be consequences for this kind of slimy crap.
the guy across the street from us was told to take his McCain't signs down. Have no idea as of yet why. Don't know if it had anything to do with me saying loud enough for the neighbors across the street to hear, "I am getting the biggest fucking Obama sign--".

I heard a woman on NicePoliteRepublican's Talk of the Nation show the other day who was channeling every made up talking point about Obama as the host sat and said nothing. When she loudly proclaimed that Obama was not even a US citizen and the Dems are covering it up he finally cut her off and blandly stated that a number of things she said "were not factually accurate."
I was annoyed till it occurred to me the longer she talked the more thought disordered she sounded to any non-delusional person. Kinda like Bachmann.

I was discussing with another victim of the sign heist, the 'redneck' voters. We both agree that while they are waiting for a major screw-up on Obama's part to rationalize not voting for him, they also are listening, and the bail-out woke some up. They sound like they might vote for Obama, while telling their buds at the bar that they voted for McCain.

Oh of course, which is why every Dem allowed anywhere near any media outlet needs to calmly repeat "He lost. Get over it" at every opportunity with only the merest hint of a smile.
The cognitive dissonance that I really marvel at is the one that makes someone call Obama a Muslim who is pro-abortion and gay marriage.

Results of TIPP's Election 2008 Tracking Poll
Beginning October 13th, TIPP began publishing the results of its 2008 Presidential race trackign poll.
The table below shows results for a two-way race between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama among likely voters.
John McCan vs. Barack Obama
Release Date McCain Obama Undecided Spread
October 18 39.8% 47.2% 13.0% +7.3 Obama
October 17 40.6% 45.9% 13.5% +5.3 Obama
October 16 41.6% 45.2% 13.2% +3.6 Obama
October 15 41.9% 45.2% 12.9% +3.3 Obama
October 14 41.9% 44.8% 13.3% +3.0 Obama
October 13 42.7% 44.8% 12.5% +2.1 Obama
In 2004, TIPP, a Division of TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence, came within 3/10 of 1% point of President Bush's actual margin of victory, thus winning the title of "Nation's Most Accurate Pollster." We''re planning to do it again this time around, so why not come along for the ride!

Bill Ayers ghost wrote Obamba's book. Proof? They used the same phrase, "Behind enemy lines" and Obama hadn't ever published anything good before.
Also, Ayer's books uses sailing terms. SO DOES OBAMA'S!
Obama isn't an American Citizen because he was brought to Hawaii as an infant.
(The MSM is covering this up! This is the reason that Arnold can't get elected) The host said, "We are just trying to get the truth out to you."
The call in guest said, "Why don't they subpoena them! We only have 17 days left!"
Joe the Plumber is being picked on and we know more about Joe the Plumber than we do about Obama.
(Barbara Simp son things that it is terrible what they are doing to poor Joe. She would like to see him sue someone. I hope she will keep that in mind when her colleagues out me and call me a liar, thief and Commie to the entire bay area for the crime of letting the advertisers know what they are paying for.)

Not entirely clear right now. I'm going to work out distribution of duties with our other DFO on Weds (she's the de facto FO now since our other one has withdrawn to focus just on Dartmouth). I am definitely on tap for doing some of the training, but not sure what's going to happen at our staging area and whatnot--she might focus on Lisbon while I do Littleton. Our area is sort of neglected, so we're figuring all this shit out with the Shaheen FO on our own...

The one that I hadn't heard before was Ayer's ghost writing Obama's books.
But the one that I think would get the most traction was when this guy called up and said how he was a small business man and Obama was putting a glass ceiling on ambition. Nobody will work hard to make more than 250,000. "What the point the government will take it all anyway."
He actually started tickling the "Republicans are good for winners, Democrats are for losers" line pretty hard. It would be just the kind of think the republican business people that I know would bring up.
I saw a sign in a yard today, a dark blue background like the ususal McCain signs, except this one had "Sarah" in big letters and "Palin/Mcain in smaller letters beneath. It didn't look homemade.
Mr French | 10.18.08 - 9:25 pm |

There are very few Obama signs here. No McCain signs at all. But this is the Sodom so there's no need for signs

Very few people who make that kind of money do it through hard work alone. They've got something else going for them: daddy's money, the right-wing machine, whatever.
Are you offering to play the part? I think Meander might want it.
Seeing I never be mistaken for a cool guy or a black guy, I think someone else should get it.
It's not alarming by any means, but the consensus seems to be that McCain's national level of support has ticked up very slightly in the past week. According to Nate Silver's analysis at Five-thirty-eight, this is kind of puzzling, because it doesn't correlate with candidate favorability ratings, and it also doesn't track with the numbers from swing states either. But it seems McCain's national topline number is up slightly, Obama's down slightly.
I haven't yet seen a good explanation for why McCain's numbers would be going up (even slightly) after the last debate. They should be going down, if the debate had any effect. His debate performance was terrible, and I thought we'd see his numbers going down after that. But they haven't, they're up slightly. What gives?
Latest I saw was Nate Silver's explanation that it has to do with renewed Republican enthusiasm, so that right-wingers who said they weren't going to vote in previous weeks are now saying they are, so they're being picked up in the likely voter models.
Millions of slimy robocalls and 28 million free "Obsession" videos might also have had an effect. Doubt that it will be effective in the long run, but that massive amount of slime surely has some statistical effect, even if it's slight.
(Le Jackel drunkenly makes up with NTodd. I'm sorry, Dude, what was I thinking! Now get yer paw off of my ass.)
Nobody will work hard to make more than 250,000.
That is so very silly. First, billions of people work incredibly hard to make very little money in this world, incredibly hard. Second, you can certainly earn more than 250,000 even if your marginal tax rate goes up with your earnings. Third, as people earn more they don't necessarily want to work even harder to get even more money. Sometimes they want to do other stuff with that money.

"Looo-ssst-hiiigh-waaay"
My understanding was that the Obama campaign had a problem getting yard signs, they had a slight number and then ran out, had them on back order but might not get them in time for the election. My local Democratic Hq had a few of them last week, but they ran out again. Meanwhile, in my neighborhood I count 4 McCain/Palin signs, no Obama/Biden. But every other car seems to have an Obama sticker.
Anon, I understood you just fine.
Interestingly
I think I've finally come around to the 'signs are over' mentality. I think this election was the transition period. The older vote, who vote, will not be around forever. The younger voters are coming out in stronger numbers and are tech savvy, therefore signs will be old school and really over.
I am aware that getting the younger voter out is always the goal, but this time it seems to be different, and it will be locals who will have to work to keep them active.
There are very few Obama signs here. No McCain signs at all. But this is the Sodom so there's no need for signs.
Nor over yonder here in Arlington. But cross the line into Cambridge, and BAM!, O City, baby...

Many thanks! I've been searching the Great Orange Satan for weeks hoping for a billmon post. No go.
No offense to the terrific bloggers always on board here, but billmon is for me the very best there is.
I just about went into mourning when he put up that Porky Pig "Thththat's All, Folks!" Looney Tunes poster way back when.
Heh:
When Al Franken produced a 1992 Saturday Night Live "Presidential Bash," he fired off a letter to a man he'd been skewering for years -- Richard Nixon -- in the hope that one of his favorite political punching bags would bestow a personal appearance on the show.
Nixon's office declined, and Franken gleefully framed the reply as a trophy of sorts in his long comic battle against what he considers the forces of political darkness.
The rejection letter took its rightful place in an odd, ironic tribute to liberals' favorite Vietnam-era villain -- a bathroom in Franken's elegant Minneapolis townhome filled with Nixon memorabilia.
THIS is the man I want as my Senator!

Silly. That will never work.
Buish babbling on about "democratic capitalism" today. Does that mean we all get $700 billion?
Err... could we change the menu, please?
And speaking of "nailing it," take it away, Ian Welsh!
...the problem is that the West's elites, and especially America's, are boobs. They couldn't run a hot dog stand, let alone the world's economy. And I think, in their hearts, they know it, even if they'd never admit it. It's why they never allow any real accountability, because if one of them is guilty, they know almost all of them are guilty. They all sat aside complacently while the world economy went into multiple bubbles. They almost all sat aside while Iraq was planned and executed. They all watched Afghanistan go up in flames. Most of them signed on for the bailout even as they were saying "I have no idea how this could work, but we should do it anyway".
The American aristocracy is a good description of them. They're entitled. More and more they are the children of previous members of the class. They're rich, they're inbred and they're an incestuous bunch, with everyone's hands in everyone else's pants (somehow I've never been able to convince a think tank to do a chart of the top 1,000 influentials in DC listing all romantic and family ties. Wonder why?)
In short, they're rich, have a deep sense of entitlement, think they're the best and fear they aren't. They take care of each other first "2 trillion to bail out your bank, dahhhling? Of course, but we mustn't give the peons health care" but they make sure the peasants keep their place.
There are no problems the US has that can be fixed with the current ruling class still in place. They will keep mortgaging the future to save the past: their rule is that the future cannot happen faster than they can buy it up, because if it did they know they couldn't naturally compete for it, because they are, actually, incompetent.
Until there is a change in who runs America it is going to be very very hard to fix anything in America. Great nations always rot from within, and you always read contemporaries who knew exactly what to do and wonder 'why didn't they listen?' They didn't listen because opening up the real franchise, the real power centers to newcomers was a much greater threat to them than their nation going into steep decline. Or so they thought. Fortunately for America, there are no barbarians on the border. But I think Americans will find that they don't need to import barbarians anyway.
So if you make 250K you'd balk at making more because the amount over 250 would be taxed at 36% rather than %33?
Gosh, that 750 dollars extra in tax will discourage me from making thousands more...
I haven't yet seen a good explanation for why McCain's numbers would be going up (even slightly) after the last debate. They should be going down, if the debate had any effect. His debate performance was terrible, and I thought we'd see his numbers going down after that. But they haven't, they're up slightly. What gives?
There are still some undecideds, and anyone so out of it that they couldn't figure out the differences between these 2 candidates and decide who they prefer till now , are dumb enough that when they do break, the chances are more than even that they'll end up breaking for McCain. Fivethirtyeight also had a post explaining this much better than me. It's a statistical thing.

Okay, the campaign isn't about signs. The locals threw hissy fits. Many ordered their own signs which are still filtering in. The campaign sent out flyers that opened up into window signs hoping to appease some. At this point campaign signs are trickling in at the same time the signs ordered by locals are. Someone here, I think maybe doncjesuis, suggested ebay and that is where the best luck was had and the soonest delivery also.

Mr. Bamford, a former producer with ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings, has written about the NSA in two previous books - "The Puzzle Palace" (1982) and "Body of Secrets" (2001). He discusses his latest book with Jonathan Landay, national security and intelligence correspondent for McClatchy. Mr. Landay previously worked for Knight Ridder and the Christian Science Monitor.

Okay, the campaign isn't about signs. The locals threw hissy fits. Many ordered their own signs which are still filtering in. The campaign sent out flyers that opened up into window signs hoping to appease some. At this point campaign signs are trickling in at the same time the signs ordered by locals are. Someone here, I think maybe doncjesuis, suggested ebay and that is where the best luck was had and the soonest delivery also.

Voters in Polk and Eldred townships may face the unusual prospect of having a deceased candidate on the ballot on Election Day.
The death of state Sen. James Rhoades on Saturday leaves the seat in uncharted territory, little more than two weeks before the election.
Rhoades was facing two challengers in the upcoming election, Democrat P.J. Symons and independent Dennis Baylor.
Symons’ chief of staff Jeremy Mullen said the Democrat’s campaign is being suspended until after Rhoades’ funeral.
Senate Republican officials met Saturday to discuss the matter and made no decision on what to do about Rhoades’ candidacy, said spokesman Erik Arneson.
Senate GOP officials believe a state court’s permission would be needed if they were to seek to replace Rhoades on the ballot with another candidate.
Republicans hold a 29-21 majority over Democrats in the Senate.
“We were counting on him to be re-elected. I don’t know what happens now,” Gleason said. “He’ll be missed by everyone in the Republican Party.”
The 29th district covers Schuylkill County and parts of Berks, Northampton, Lehigh and Carbon counties.

Not that you'd care, but I hired Bo Schembechler to do some public speaking for my former company. He was the most gracious gentleman, seriously.
I received raises on that coattail for years, because I'd scored the coup of a lifetime, according to my former boss, who was a Michigan alum and a huge Bo fan.
Unfortunately, he wasn't the last boss I ended up with there.
Shit man, I hate it when Dudes show up for work half-plastered and barely functioning. But I've seen drunk men show up for work and make calls and do shit that it takes a fearless man to do.

Titanic survivor sells items to pay nursing home
LONDON (AP) — When 2-month-old Millvina Dean arrived in New York with her mother and brother after surviving the Titanic sinking, city residents gave them a suitcase full of donated clothing to help rebuild their life.
Now, more than 96 years later, that gift is helping the world's last Titanic survivor live out her old age.
Dean sold the small wicker suitcase, along with other mementos of the doomed ocean liner, at auction Saturday to help pay her nursing home fees.
The sale raised $53,906 — ten times the amount she had hoped to make. The suitcase alone sold for $18,650.
"It is a great amount of money. I am sure she will be very happy when we tell her the news," auctioneer Andrew Aldridge said after the sale.

Thousands of people die every year serving their country. Not just soldiers. Police, firefighters, security guards, store clerks,school teachers, utility repairmen, janitors, mail carriers, medical flight attendants, news reporters, paper carriers, these all have met their deaths doing their part to make our society function. These people are worth not one tear, not one honor, not one mention of gratitude and recognition less than does someone in those other uniforms. A society cannot exist on nothing but soldiers and politicians and entertainers.

Thanks for the thought. The oldest son is back to being an attorney for the most part, though with Keeneland running its fall meet, he's been helping Carl Nafsger's stable with six young horses. They are excited about a couple of 2-year-olds.
And the amazing thing, Paul, my son, hangs out with Carl a lot but spends most of his time with back-siders -- mostly Guatemalan grooms and hot-walkers. From what he's told me, not a single one of the owners of various horses is expressing any concern about the economy. They've lost some money but what the hell; they have lots to lose.
It's a bizarre business.

Yep. There was also this:
In 1820, Congress admitted Missouri to the Union as a slave state, opening it to a large migration of white people and their slaves westward from the southern slave states, expanding and widening the slave trade as they went. Joining the migration, the Blow family moved to St. Louis, Missouri, taking Dred Scott with them. There, they sold him to Dr. John Emerson, a military surgeon, who was stationed at Jefferson Barracks. Dred Scott served Dr. Emerson for the next twelve years, traveling with him to other assigned posts in Illinois, the Wisconsin Territory, and at Fort Snelling in what became Minnesota — all places where slavery was prohibited.
At Fort Snelling, Minnesota, Dred Scott met and married Harriet Robinson, also a slave, and they had two children. In 1842, Dr. Emerson and his wife moved back to St. Louis, taking the Scott family along. The following year, 1843, Dr. Emerson died. Now the property of the widow Emerson, Dred, Harriet, and their two children found themselves hired out by her for service to other families.

As someone who's been in the military, I can say that I feel greatly for those who have turned to it as the only way to achieve any social or economic mobility. Reading "Generation Kill" will give you a taste of just how disorganized -- and unfortuante -- our military has become under Bush, Cheney and others.
Sure, it's a proud calling, but it's not one to be held in adoration. We just need to fund them and use them wisely. Oh, and treat them well when they become veterans -- an often ignored part of the whole equation.

Powell sold his soul for some reason, the same way McCain left behind whatever honor he had the moment he embraced Bush. Just think of it, George W. left both of these men -- and millions of other people -- in the dust and ruin of his abominable history. And yet he can still sleep at night; at least that's what he tells us.

Yea, but it has a different meaning than what you imply, I think.
Very few active duty military have enough money where they can make political contributions.-- they get paid shit. And in fact the total contributions are very, very low.
BUT, of that very low total, most goes to Obama. What this tells us, I think, is that of people who are independently wealthy and go into the military, most give to Democrats. In other words, independently wealthy Republicans generally don't go into the military. Ergo, they're chickenhawks.

My hat is off to you Glenn.
In the mail today was a newsletter from the local Catholic Diocese addressed to the former owners of this house or current resident. Since we are the current residents (and have been for fifteen years) we opened it.
It was a political statement of the church instructing us on who we, as good Catholics, should vote for in the upcoming elections. After arguing, in Biblical terms - actually a bunch of hooey - it DEMANDED that we vote the straight Republican Ticket as they are the party that demands fealty on the ONLY two issues worth caring about - apparently; abortion and gay marriage.
I guess that murdering by the state and the starving of innocent children and the deprivation of the poor is not something that really bothers the church too much, eh?
What is more galling is that they have the audacity to demand that their parishioners vote for the Republican ticket without endangering their tax-exempt status. From my perspective, the moment they choose sides in an election, they forfeit that right.
But I am old and stupid, right?
I didn't phone bank, I filed, made copies, and pulled signs.
I phone banked for Kerry though, and it was roughly 55/45 for Bush. Pretty close to how the vote came out in this area (Grand Rapids went for Kerry, but the surrounding area didn't).
All I can say is that it was much busier than it was in 2004, and the office was much more organized.
2000 was an infant of 04, and an embryo of '08.

I couldn't tell, we were in the inner area (inside the SS security cordon) and there were lots more outside.
My wild ass guess would be that there were easily 30,000+ in the inner area.
I'm not sure why they arranged it the way they did, if they had put the podium at the base of the Liberty Memorial it would have made a lot more sense.
The local news said 75,000+ just now.
It was a political statement of the church instructing us on who we, as good Catholics, should vote for in the upcoming elections.

...
Police said the crowd in St Louis numbered at least 100,000 -- Obama's biggest yet in the United States, second overall only to the 200,000 who saw him speak in Berlin in July. The Kansas City crowd was more than 75,000.

Erin,
Muskegon County Catholic Voter League.
So, I guess it is not the church. My bad.
The question in this debate is this; can a Catholic vote with a clear conscience for a candidate that supports abortion? And, if we vote for the candidate knowing his intent to help murder millions of children, do we become accomplices in the sin of child killing?
(snip)
Certain Catholic Christian believes are essential elements that Catholic Christianity cannot lose without ceasing to be itself.
American politics today hs increasingly become a struggle between those who love traditional Catholic Christianity and those who hate it.
These two cultural adversaries have found it necessary to form alliances with the nations' two dominant political parties.
Cultural moral liberals with the Democratic Party.
Cultural Catholic Christians with the Republican Party.
and they play major roles in them.
