GravatarSilvio Berlusconi and his allies yesterday moved their battle to regain power in Italy on to new ground after the resignation of prime minister Romano Prodi and the collapse of his centre-left government on Thursday night.

Berlusconi's spokesman, Paolo Bonaiuti, indicated that they aimed to scotch efforts by president Giorgio Napolitano to set up an interim administration charged with producing a new electoral law. "We must vote as quickly as possible to lift the country out of this quagmire," Bonaiuti said. The president last night began talks with political leaders that will last until Tuesday.

GravatarOne of the creepiest things I've seen was when I was at a National Park in Utah. In the display room, there was a young girl in her middle teens. She had a lace cap and a homemade long dress, very conservatively dressed. She was running about in delight as if she was in Disneyland.

Her husband was smirking and smoking nearby. He was this smarmy older guy, ugly and wiry.... and pleased as punch with his woman.

I felt so sorry for that poor girl's future...

And, cause I spent $25 on all the bed and toys and stuff, CostPlus gave me a very, very nice all cotton heavy totebag to, um, tote stuff.

Back to the ironing.  Say!  Niagara has a new kind of spray starch - a micromist pump bottle!  And once you use it a little bit, you can add some more water to it and have more starch than you started out with!  It's just like when I was little and was in charge of boiling the starch for ironing day!

"INDIANAPOLIS — David Colby was one of corporate America's most admired executives before he was abruptly fired last spring for what was vaguely described at the time as misconduct of a "non-business nature." Now details about his personal life are spilling out, and it's clear he was more than just Wall Street's darling.

In a cluster of lawsuits gathered up by The Associated Press, the former chief financial officer of health insurance giant WellPoint Inc. is depicted as a corporate Casanova _ a world-class, love-'em-and-leave-'em sort of guy who romanced dozens of women around the country simultaneously, made them extravagant promises and then went back on his word with all the compassion of a health insurance company denying a claim.

One woman says Colby got her pregnant and harangued her via text message ("ABORT!!") to terminate the pregnancy. He also allegedly gave some of his girlfriends sexually transmitted diseases, and proposed to at least 12 women since 2005.

The allegations are contained in lawsuits filed before and after Colby's departure by three women who say they were ill-used by the businessman.

Colby and his attorneys have refused to comment, though in court papers he has disputed some of the allegations, and one of the lawsuits was thrown out a few months ago by a judge who found insufficient grounds for legal action.

By all accounts, the 54-year-old Colby _ a pudgy, bespectacled figure with salt-and-pepper hair _ charmed attractive women by showering them with compliments and gifts. While at least one of his accusers was a WellPoint underling, it appears he met many of the other women outside of work, via online dating sites, and he has not been accused of workplace sexual harassment.

"I'm not surprised that there are women who would come forward with the same story, because that appears to be Dave's modus operandi," said Mark Hathaway, a lawyer for two of the women who sued. "We've been contacted by a number of women."

Huffington has the rest of the story.

GravatarUK astronomers will lose access to two of the world's finest telescopes in February, as administrators look to plug an Ł80m hole in their finances.

Observation programmes on the 8.1m telescopes of the Gemini organisation will end abruptly because Britain is cancelling its subscription.

It means UK astronomers can no longer view the Northern Hemisphere sky with the largest class of telescope.

Researchers say they are aghast at the administrators' decision.

"To withdraw from the state-of-the-art Gemini facilities leaves the UK ground-based astronomy strategy in disarray - some would say deliberately sabotaged," said Professor Paul Crowther from Sheffield University.

The Problem With Bill 2.0

To give you some perspective, I don't think there are many people who are bigger fans of Bill Clinton than I am or who've expended more ink defending him and his presidency.
...
I think something similar applies in this case. I respect all the loyalties and devotions between the two of them in what is clearly a very complicated but also very enduring relationship. But I'm not part of that marriage. Its obligations aren't any concern of mine and they have no claim on me. My relationship with Bill Clinton is as a member of the party that he is, as I've said, the leader of or at least the most revered elder statesman of. And I feel like he's violating the compact that I have with him.

GravatarUS television network ABC may have to pay a fine of $1.4m (Ł707,000) for airing an episode of NYPD Blue which depicted female nudity.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) said the 2003 show had "multiple, close-up views" of a woman's buttocks before the US watershed.

The FCC deems "sexual or excretory activities" shown in an "offensive" way before 2200 as indecent.

ABC has rejected the claims, saying the buttocks are not a sexual organ.

The proposed penalty has been imposed on all 52 of ABC's stations who broadcast the episode.

GravatarBill is campaigning for his wife because he owes her one.

For 200+ years, wives have campaigned for their husbands. Why? Maybe they thought their husband would be the best person for the job. Maybe they loved them and wanted to help them reach their goals. Maybe they felt that they had no choice. Maybe they "owed their husband one." Maybe there were a complicated set of reasons.

I don't know why Mrs. Kerry campaigned for John, nor why Mrs. Obama is campaigning for Barack, nor why Mrs. McCain is campaigning for John.

I do know that it's sexist to insist that Bill Clinton is only campaigning for Hillary Clinton because he slept around during their marriage.

GravatarI don't know why Mrs. Kerry campaigned for John, nor why Mrs. Obama is campaigning for Barack, nor why Mrs. McCain is campaigning for John.

I think it is because they are every bit as ambitious to become the first spouse as the candidate is to be president. It's always been contract between the two from what I've observed. Do you think any of these people running for office today didn't consider what impact their spouse would have on their careers before they got married, and vice versa? This is what pisses me off so much about this meme. John McCain didn't consider how his wife would look on the campaign trail as well as her father's $ before marrying her. Bullshit.

GravatarMany of the great names of British brewing have downed their final pints and headed for the exit.

Once there was Bass Charrington, Allied Breweries, Whitbread, Courage Imperial, and Watneys. Scottish & Newcastle was yesterday added to that list of once- mighty brewers.

The recommended take over offer by Carlsberg and Heineken is set to lock the doors for the final time on a British industrial machine that, by owning most of Britain's pubs and brewing the stuff we drank in them, permeated every community in this country.

Over the next few months, the S&N name appears set to wither and eventually die. Whitbread alone survives in name, but now it runs hotels, coffee shops and pub-restaurants.

Who will mourn the passing of the so-called "Big Six"? Not the British pub-goer who long ago signalled indifference to the brewers' product. New generations, led by women, demanded something else - and got it in the form of lagers, wine, soft drinks, alcopops, cocktails, spirits and Babycham.

Nor too the real ale adherents who waged campaigns from the 1970s against what they regarded as tasteless, mass-produced beer.

McCain plan to scale back drug benefit gets little attention in Florida
By Jeffrey Young | Posted: 01/26/08 04:03 PM [ET]
If elected president, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) would pursue reforms to Medicare that could lead to hundreds of thousands of Florida seniors losing their current prescription drug coverage. But McCain’s campaign is not worried that his views on the popular program will hurt him in the Sunshine State.
...
As McCain has campaigned in Florida, voters who want to talk about healthcare are interested in issues such as costs and access to medical care, not Medicare, said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office who now advises McCain.


We'll see.

Gravatar"I’d guess that the top two quintiles are unlikely to be liquidity-constrained, so the rebate will have little effect on their spending. But they get 58% of the money. The bottom two quintiles, which are the place you’d most expect to have an impact, get only 21% of the money. Split the difference on the middle quintile, and you’ve got a plan where around 2/3 of the outlay is likely to be ineffective.
Now. I’ve been in touch with some people on the Hill, who say that the glass is best viewed as 1/3 full rather than 2/3 empty — that it’s only thanks to the Democrats that people likely to spend their rebate are getting anything at all. And they have a point: this plan will produce some stimulus, while the Bush plan would have done virtually nothing.
And I suppose that it may be true that this was the best Nancy Pelosi could get. But I just can’t bring myself to celebrate." P. Krugman

Gravatar"I’d guess that the top two quintiles are unlikely to be liquidity-constrained, so the rebate will have little effect on their spending. But they get 58% of the money. The bottom two quintiles, which are the place you’d most expect to have an impact, get only 21% of the money. Split the difference on the middle quintile, and you’ve got a plan where around 2/3 of the outlay is likely to be ineffective.

GravatarChristian Brando, 49, dies of pneumonia
By Jon Thurber, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
2:07 PM PST, January 26, 2008
Christian Brando, the troubled son of actor Marlon Brando, who made headlines in 1990 when he was arrested in the shooting death of his half-sister's boyfriend, died early Saturday. He was 49.

Brando died from complications of pneumonia at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles, said David J. Seeley, an attorney for Marlon Brando's estate.

The thread had over 500 comments, most by angry commentors, many were regulars. Mr. Aravosis in sheer panic mode for being exposed as the asshole he is quickly archived the thread and then totally removing the thread from his archives.

What progressive would do such a thing. First he censors comments that do not agree with him then just like a republican he destroys the thread like it never happened.

CRAWFORD: You know, I have sat down here in Florida for the last month.

I mean, I think when Dr. Phil gets done with Britney [Spears], he ought to go to Washington and stage an intervention at the National Press Club. I mean, we've gotten into a situation where if you try to be fair to the Clintons, if you try to be objective, if you try to say, "Well, where's the evidence of racism in the Clinton campaign?" you're accused of being a naďve shill for the Clintons.

Umm, no. Not really. from her wiki page:

In 1966, she married Sidney Goldberg, an editor at the news syndicate North American Newspaper Alliance and Lucianne Goldberg did occasional freelance work for the syndicate. During the 1972 presidential campaign she joined the press corps covering candidate George McGovern, claiming to be a reporter for the Women's News Service, an affiliate of NANA. In fact, she was paid $1000 a week by Richard Nixon operative Murray Chotiner for regular reports about happenings on the campaign trail. She said "They were looking for really dirty stuff...Who was sleeping with who, what the Secret Service men were doing with the stewardesses, who was smoking pot on the plane--that sort of thing."
