I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Peace
Peace, peace.
Tommy, we haven't missed you. Please stay away.
Please, let it stop and reason to overtake the nonsense.
I've seen his injured patriarchy schtick before. I'll go call sheets.
What an icky moustache.
But the world IS flat, dont you know?
If this is what I think it is, I'm not listening to it again.
Hecate!
dead threaded again!
This is why they fail so regularly in the business of government. Governing's not the point.
They see everything through zero sum Ayn Randian glasses. If this welfare mother or this public school or this health program gets more money, it is stealing money from me and my specific interests (imperialism, big money, corporations, etc.). There exists no understanding, none!, that feeding the poor, sheltering the immigrants, providing education increases the wealth of the nation, not to mention its humanity, safety and resilience. We have turned the Statue of Liberty into a heavily guarded target for those who hate us. That says multitudes.

Sorry to have interrupted your peace run, hecate.
Hecate, how are the lilies of the valley doing?. Mine are just popping, but yours must be further along.

They yanked the video.
Was it Tommy saying, "Suck on this."?

Yet, you still found us. Pity.
Shoot, I got EPU'd.
Let's try again:
Our justification for staying in Iraq, for losing ove 4000 lives and counting, is to keep Al Qaeda from having a PR victory?
Why not? It was a fucking PR war in the first place. It's not even a 'war' -- it's the world's most expensive campaign commercial.
"He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999," said author and Houston Chronicle journalist Mickey Herskowitz. "It was on his mind. He said, 'One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.' And he said, 'My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.' He went on, 'If I have a chance to invade…, if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency.'"
Friedman should go suck on poison ivy.
NOOOOOOOO!
I don't want to see this!
Don't make me watch!
Oh, wait, I don't have to.
Nevermind....
So I was up at the crack of dawn, and took a ride to the ocean to see the sun come up. On the way back we drove through Asbury Park, and saw hundreds of Mexicans lined up all around 3 sides of a city block. Not a job lineup, because there were lots of women & kids there. We asked a passerby and it seems there was some sort of opportunity to fill out green card applications. The line ended at the door of a church so I guess they were sponsoring it. The people had babies in strollers, coolers, blankets, folding chairs...from the looks of it they may have been lined up there all night.
Just the occasional reminder of what it takes to make it to the top of the elite press.
He asks such wonderful, tough questions!
.
"They see everything through zero sum Ayn Randian glasses"
Nice turn of phrase. Yes and, unfortunately, they don't see the general improvement of humankind as being in their best interests ... and ours.
Cheers all on a snowy Saturday. Six more inches of the heavy, wet stuff predicted.
I don't get the attraction of coining a phrase and whoring it out. Does Friedman get a royalty every time someone says "The Flat World" or "The Terrorism Bubble?" If not, why does he flog these phrases so hard?
Hecate, they're almost impossible to kill once they get established-even if you run them over with the lawn mower.
Thanks Atrios. I just clawed my ears off my head after listening to Friedman's crap, and I had plans to go out this evening.
'If I have a chance to invade…, if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency.'"

I had an acquaintance that hated them. He dug them up and threw them in a mulch pile-where they thrived. I went to his place and grabbed them all.

I wonder is our leader preparing for some retooling of the blog to multiple contributors?
Marrying money, what?
.
"I don't get the attraction of coining a phrase and whoring it out. Does Friedman get a royalty ..."
The power and profit of metonymy unleashed. See Hayden White's work on the dance of these words ...
wo days later, the Sunday Mirror quoted a "senior US military source" as saying that the "coalition" would turn its attention to Basra once the "huge operation" in Mosul against al Qaeda and nationalist Sunni insurgents was completed, and that the US was prepared to redeploy "thousands" of US Marines to Basra, if necessary.
This plan for a major foreign troop deployment to the south for the first time since the US battles against the Mahdi Army in April 2004 did not sit well with Maliki. In 2006 and 2007, he had repeatedly blocked US proposals that US and Iraqi forces target Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army in Baghdad as well as in the south.
When Vice President Dick Cheney, who had previously played the "bad cop" in the George W Bush administration's relations with Maliki, visited Baghdad in mid-March, one of his objectives was to get Maliki to go along with the Petraeus plan to eliminate the commanding position of Muqtada's forces in Basra. Maliki has told Iraqi officials that Cheney put pressure on him to go along with the Basra operation, according one Iraqi source.
After Cheney met briefly with Maliki on March 17, he discussed the "security situation" with Muqtada's Shi'ite rival, Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, head of the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, which has been pushing for the destruction of the Mahdi Army. Cheney lavished praise on Hakim, whom he ostentatiously called "my friend", for "working so hard with the United States and with Iraq's other leaders to advance the cause of Iraq's freedom and democracy". The signal of the Bush administration's intentions toward Muqtada could hardly have been clearer.
The Cheney visit apparently mobilized Maliki, but not in the way Cheney had intended.

I find it impossible to describe Tommy. The point you make is a good one - I think the boy repeats his trite bromides in hopes that the phrases will catch on and he'll really be a hep cat or some such...
Karin -- I think it was blossoms -- not fried though -- had taste much like tobacco!
Must run to church!
We have 140,000 soldiers in Iraq, and supposedly another +100,000 mercenaries. I must admit I can't figure out what they are doing except hunkering down and guarding their hunkering-down vital needs like Big Macs and porn videos.

What do you think of the idea of putting taser bracelets on passengers? The pilots would control the buttons.
'If I have a chance to invade…, if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency.'"
Remember when he told us that he'd "earned" political capital and he meant to spend it because "it's my style"? Goddess he was so full of his ugly cocky self that day.
many Chinese dishes were designed with medicinal purposes in mind - so a complete Chinese meal is supposed to incorporate foods for all the meridians that are used in Traditional Chinese medicine.
For a Chinese person, a complete meal should have all the flavours to balance all the meridians - sweet, sour, bitter, pungent and salty.
that's how you get dishes like sweet and sour soup from China.

They say he is using a “perfectly reasonable catchall phrase” that, although it may be out of place in an academic setting, is acceptable on the campaign trail, a place that “does not lend itself to long-winded explanations of what we really are facing,” said Kenneth M. Pollack, research director at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution. Mr. Pollack's widely read book "Gathering Storm" helped sell the Iraq war and has been since shown to be exactly the mishmash of lies, bullshit, hysterical warmongering, and smarmy elite ignorance that independent observers took it for at the time.

Insurance companies are basically investment firms. If they lose in the market the premiums have to go up. (Of course, when they win in the market, the premiums also go up.) That's why, notoriously, increases in malpractice insurance rates have no correlation with the actual incidence of malpractice, or the number of malpractice suits.

No Friedman thread is complete without the most odious Friedman quote of all:
The only way to puncture that bubble was for American soldiers, men and women, to go into the heart of the Arab-Muslim world, house to house, and make clear that we are ready to kill, and to die, to prevent our open society from being undermined by this terrorism bubble. Smashing Saudi Arabia or Syria would have been fine. But we hit Saddam for one simple reason: because we could, and because he deserved it and because he was right in the heart of that world. And don't believe the nonsense that this had no effect. Every neighboring government — and 98 percent of terrorism is about what governments let happen — got the message. If you talk to U.S. soldiers in Iraq they will tell you this is what the war was about.

Celibacy for priests makes about as much sense as celibacy for police officers or airline pilots. What's the point?
Dr. Wu
The celibacy thing was instituted by the Church because if priests married and had children, their property went to the wife and kids when they died.
The Church hierarchy decreed that they had to be celibate so the Church could get that property and money.
Even then, they were greedy fucks.

Wow that is some Grade A anti-semitism there.
Gordon Brown returns to Britain to face trouble on the home front after his tour of the US, with the prospect of what one MP described as a parliamentary "train wreck" over the abolition of the 10p starting rate of tax.
The Treasury was last night signalling that it was considering a range of longer-term options to compensate those who might lose out over the tax reform, including using instruments like tax credits and the minimum wage. Angela Eagle, Treasury minister, told BBC radio's Any Questions: "We are listening to people's concerns."
But with the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats willing to line up with Labour rebels on the issue, MPs believe there is a possibility of the government being defeated in the crucial vote a week on Monday. To add to the government's difficulties, civil servants and teachers are due to strike next week. Labour also faces a difficult time in the local and London mayoral elections a week later.
Brown is frustrated that the focus has fallen on the relatively small number of people who may be worse off under the reform, and believes that most people will either be better off or no worse off. "You've got to get it into perspective," said a senior government source. "The basic rate of tax has been cut from 22p to 20p. People will notice that."
venal liars, what this means is that the government is taking £7bn away from the very poorest of society
Labour and Brown are fucking over the less well off

Are the bleeding Tories the only alternative to Labour, or is there a third party or coalition?
While in the US, Brown managed to avert the resignation of Angela Smith, a parliamentary aide, over the 10p issue and its effect on low earners. But Frank Field, the former welfare minister, said yesterday that Brown was still facing an unprecedented rebellion over the issue. "We have never had a measure where we are being asked to vote for a package that makes 5 million of the poorest people worse off, who are doing exactly what the government has asked people to do, that is work," he told the BBC yesterday.
Many Labour MPs, including loyalists, are angry about the abolition of the 10p rate, which was announced last year but is only coming into force now. Although ministers have promised to consider the issue they have not proposed anything specific. Asked about the issue in the US, Brown has stressed his overall commitment to helping the poor.

The lsst part of that article is the most amusing.
Who says world leaders don't care about the problems their counterparts face? Perhaps because his domestic woes are receding as the end draws nigh, or perhaps out of pure solicitude, George Bush took the trouble to ask his guest what the 10p crisis was about. After all, it was a question Brown has heard frequently of late.
But it's a fair bet the US president has not followed the ins and outs of UK fiscal policy: it emerged Bush thought it was the "ten-pea" crisis. The images this generated in the presidential imagination can only be guessed at. Suffice to say, Britain's economic problems are some way from requiring vegetable rationing.
More likely, he thought it was the ten pee crisis.

Why Labour repeatedly gets its knickers in a twist over taxation policy is entirely beyond me. I mean, correct me if I am being needlessly controversial here, but the basic principle underlying any left of centre take on this matter is simple enough; the more you earn, the more you owe the Inland Revenue.
This isn’t some kind of transitional demand; the idea that the rich should hand over a higher proportion of their income than the less well off has been a mainstay of the broadly progressive outlook since Lloyd George’s people’s budget of 1909.
Levying taxation on this basis has many advantages. Not the least of them is that, however much people grumble when they get their pay slip each month, it is widely perceived to be more or less fair.
It is only when you depart from this default position that you reach the situation where the super-rich do not pay a higher rate of tax than their domestics. In fact, by and large, they pay a lower one.
As a result, taxation has been responsible for getting New Labour getting into more than a few political scrapes over the last year or so, from the indecent haste in following up Tory calls for the abolition of inheritance tax to the cack-handed reform of CGT and the entire non-dom fiasco. All of this is effectively tantamount to one vast job creation scheme for already grossly overpaid tax avoidance lawyers.

Indeed Karin.
"Arty" is too good for him.
And I really think that Mamet's problem is that the NY Times gave his play November a less than glowing review.
Now the jinx has struck again. Brown’s decision to scrap the 10p in the pound income tax rate – a move that leaves up to five million of the poorest people in Britain worse off - has led to the rediscovery of ABC social democracy on the part of some backbenchers.
The move is apparently designed to fund a 2p cut in the basic rate. Yet there are plenty of other ways in which that aim could be achieved. Simply by scrapping taper relief on capital gains tax, for instance, the government could do even better and knock off 3p in the pound.
Indeed, it shouldn’t be beyond the Treasury’s specialists to devise some means of getting low earners out of the tax system altogether.
It turns out that Denis Healey never actually did utter the soundbite he is best known for today, namely a promise to ‘squeeze the rich until the pips squeak’. So why is Alistair Darling seemingly so determined to mete out just this kind of treatment to the poor?

Jesus was too nice in his description of this race of psychopaths.

To Jews celebrating Passover, matzo represents redemption and freedom from slavery. But this year the cracker-like flatbread has come to symbolise a weapon in an unholy price war.
The major supermarkets have gone head-to-head with independent Jewish retailers as they compete for Passover trade by slashing prices on specialist items for the holiday, which starts today.
Tesco claims people will spend less time "schlepping round the shops", Waitrose says its home delivery service will "beat Elijah to the door", a reference to a Passover custom, and Asda has been enticing customers with prize draws.
One branch of Tesco imposed a limit of 15 matzo boxes a shopper, selling for 49p a box. Its rivals, including Jewish stores, were selling them for 89p a box.
The aggressive pricing has not fazed small shopkeepers. At Kosher Kingdom in north London, which stocks organic, wholemeal, spelt, Brooklyn, diet, miniature, Israeli and round varieties of matzo, store manager Chuny Rokach shrugged off the competition. "There are certain items they can undercut us on, but we have thousands of lines they don't stock."

They (the Jews) act as a tribe to control the political, financial and the media in every country they settle in. The same is happening in our country. They control the media and the financial in the US.
Let me guess, FU said he talked to a cab driver who lost his house and things could not be better?

She said it was hard to explain how much worse a 7.1 was from a 5.5 -- Buckeye
Yes it is. I wonder if this helps...
Every whole number means an increase of 10x the energy. So from 5.5 to 6.5 it would be 10x stronger, and from 6.5 to 7.1 would be 0.6 x 10, or 6 times stronger. So from 5.5 to 7.1 would be 60 times stronger.
In every day terms it means that (during the first second) if the ground moved one foot at 5 mph in the 5.5 quake, it would have moved one foot at 300 mph in the 7.1 quake.
In 1948 Zionist terrorists drove the Palestinians, a primitive agricultural society, from their lawful homeland into Gaza, Lebanon and what is known as the West Bank.
They appear to be unhappy with this.
There has been no real effort to give the Palestinians a fair deal since.

besides, with friends like Israel, who needs enemies?

HAS anyone noticed that (Rev.) Friedman is ALL dress in black, and that the only thing missing is the white collar in this scene?
WHY did NYT make this religious fanatic a columnist? Hence the fact that Friedman is the least possible, intellectual based opinion you could get - and I'm SICK of agenda push zealots, that is sort right inline with George Will and his fanatical shit too. I'm sick of it. it's hereby assorted, zealous, eccentric opinion is EVERYTHING and facts are OFF THE TABLE completely and it's sort of why Patrick Fitzgerald was SO respected by both the RIGHT and LEFT voters of country. WHY can't the media see the writing on wall. People WANT, NEED a real newspaper, a real news program BUT no news media, no newspaper wants to offer this "reason to sell" newspapers or network.
I am wondering if the last untainted news might still be the BBC? I don't know, but finding refreshing, unbasied, un-partisan news is like looking for a needle in haystack these days, it does not exist. Even Frontline on PBS sucks so badly these days that it's not worth watching anymore, because they can't call a lie a lie, can't call a liar a liar, fear based media. Where do you turn for decent news, and knowing how Joe Klein turned TIME mag into trash heap, and how Newsweek has become no more that worthless rag too?
There is a BIG hole out there, so where are decent journalist who would like to fill the horrible void? The WP and NYT have fallen victim into the FOX news trap, whereby hype is everything and facts are nothing. It's okay to fire Friedman and George Will now, as well as lot of other hype base columnist, including Broder and his noticable agenda. It's remembering what the mission statement was, and NOT folding to surrealism. I'm refusing to buy the NYT and WP in an act of protest. This stuff is shit, and the continue push baseless facts in our faces. Why would ANYONE be interest in BUYING ANY of it. Please do the world a favor and cancel your subscriptions. I want news but WP and NYT don't offer it any more, and the TV most certainly doesn't offer anything but BS and expect people to PAY for it.

"WIPED OFF THE MAP" - The Rumor of the Century
Quote:
So what did Ahmadinejad actually say? To quote his exact words in farsi:
"Imam ghoft een rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods bayad az safheh-ye ruzgar mahv shavad."
That passage will mean nothing to most people, but one word might ring a bell: rezhim-e. It is the word "Regime", pronounced just like the English word with an extra "eh" sound at the end. Ahmadinejad did not refer to Israel the country or Israel the land mass, but the Israeli regime. This is a vastly significant distinction, as one cannot wipe a regime off the map. Ahmadinejad does not even refer to Israel by name, he instead uses the specific phrase "rezhim-e ishghalgar-e qods" (regime occupying Jerusalem).
So this raises the question.. what exactly did he want "wiped from the map"? The answer is: nothing. That's because the word "map" was never used. The Persian word for map, "nagsheh", is not contained anywhere in his original farsi quote, or, for that matter, anywhere in his entire speech. Nor was the western phrase "wipe out" ever said. Yet we are led to believe that Iran's President threatened to "wipe Israel off the map", despite never having uttered the words "map", "wipe out" or even "Israel".

Gomez' take is an over-simplification. Palestine was partitioned and the Palestinians were told they could live in the part that would now be called Israel, which would be a Jewish State.

I agree 100%.
Bugs doesn't give a fuck about the Palestinians or anyone else.
He hates the entire world and comes here to spout his venom because no one at home will listen to him.
did the Palestinians really choose violence?
seems like to me it was a horrible endpoint to British fucking up the occupation
by not even consulting the Palestinians about creating an Israeli state, like they didn't even exist
seems to me Britain bears quite a lot of responsibility for the current horrible state of that area
Bugs has bees in his head.

Oh, I thought it was shit.
No. They Palestinians were offered the opportunity to live in peace in Israel jointly with the Jewish people. They decided on violence instead.

See the special role that the group composed of folks like Douglas Feith, Scooter Libby, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Norman Podhoretz, and Irving Kristol (all Jews) played in the lead-up to the Iraqi war. Anyone who knows anything knows that neocons are primarily Jewish. According to Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, it was Irving Kristol (former communist) who invented the word “neocon” and according to Wikipedia, Kristol is the “founder and god-father” of neoconservativism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Sometimes, I note that when I'm thirsty, I purchase all sorts of beverages without thinking of it. I must have been in need of protein and fiber today, judging by the vast array of beans we're putting away.
Only Israel has clean hands, in the crisis in the Middle East? Did you ever stop and think about the history of occupation of another territory ? When that occurs, sh!t happens! When Israel gets entirely out of the occupied land, only then will there be peace.

Highlights of AP-Yahoo Poll
Pretty much describes my thoughts.
CLINTON THE SLASHER?
Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton have traded criticisms for months, but Americans see Clinton as playing rougher. Asked if any candidate has "attacked the others unfairly," 54 percent cited Clinton and 36 percent named Obama. Only 16 percent cited John McCain, who vanquished his Republican competitors long ago.
PLEASE, AL, RECONSIDER
Many independent voters wish they had other choices, such as, say, a Nobel Peace Prize-winning maker of environmental films. They give former Vice President Al Gore higher overall marks than Clinton, Obama or McCain. Forty-six percent of the independents have a favorable view of Gore, compared with 43 percent for McCain, 42 percent for Obama and 33 percent for Clinton. Gore fares much worse among Republicans, with just an 18 percent favorable rating.
I so covet this I can hardly stand it.

Israel's Jewish Problem in Tehran
So why hasn't Iran started by wiping its own Jews off the map?
by Jonathan Cook
There is an interesting problem with selling the "Iran as Nazi Germany" line. If Ahmadinejad really is Hitler, ready to commit genocide against Israel's Jews as soon as he can get his hands on a nuclear weapon, why are some 25,000 Jews living peacefully in Iran and more than reluctant to leave despite repeated enticements from Israel and American Jews?

PALM BEACH — In another sign of just how hot the mansion market is, the oceanfront estate built by billionaire businessman and philanthropist Sidney Kimmel has sold for $81.5 million, a record for the island.
While the sale price was officially recorded Tuesday at $77.5 million, listing agent Paulette Koch said the buyer also paid $4 million in closing costs. That means Kimmel got his full asking price of $81.5 million.
The deal underscores both the strength of the mansion market
