Lexington tops list of enemies to environment
'Carbon footprint' is largest in nation http://www.kentucky.com/779/stor...ory/
418282.html
Lexington, which touts itself as the Horse Capital of the World, now has a less appealing nickname:
Bigfoot.
A first-of-its-kind study of the carbon footprints of the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas being released by the Brookings Institution on Thursday puts Lexington at No. 100 -- the worst of them all.
Lexington is the 91st-largest metro area, but spews the greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change at a per capita rate much higher than large cities such as Los Angeles (No. 2 on the footprint list) and New York (No. 4).

Yesterday, Cheney told the Republican Party in Virginia:
On the economy: “Republicans believe that when Americans are facing tough times, the first thing we should do is let them keep more of their own money. That is why the President proposed and signed a stimulus package with immediate, direct relief to the American taxpayer.”
On energy: “Our administration has worked with the Congress and the private sector to try to increase the efficiency of cars and trucks, to promote alternative fuels.”
On Iraq: “The work goes on — and our strategy in Iraq, with a surge of operations that began more than a year ago, is succeeding. The only way to lose this fight is to quit.”

But how fucking hard is it to understand that predation takes place in a specific physical environment that affects both predator and prey? I mean, putting aside the absurdity of calling the polar bears' tentative rebound an "explosion," how could any remotely sane or intelligent person believe that loss of habitat has no real bearing on the ultimate survival of a given animal, simply because that animal continues to be eaten by the natural predators who share its habitat?

BAGHDAD (AP) - The top official in a town west of Baghdad says 10 people have been killed when a suicide bomber struck a police checkpoint.
Authorities have announced a vehicle ban in the town of Hit to prevent more attacks following Saturday's bombing.
Hit's top official Hikmat Jubeir says those killed included six policemen and four civilians. He says 12 other people have been wounded.
Hit is 85 miles west of Baghdad in the former insurgent stronghold of Anbar province.

I mean, Levin's argument was very compelling, and I can understand why Levin and the state party went ahead with an early primary, since he felt the R&B Committee dropped the ball on adding a primary early in the process.

"Going 6½ years without another 9/11 is not an accident; it's an achievement," Cheney told about 500 people at the Greater Richmond Convention Center.
Cheney, touting presumed Republican presidential nominee, Sen. John McCain, said the GOP can offer a sharp contrast with Democrats on lower taxes and limited government. But the biggest distinction can be made, Cheney said, on national security.
About 25 war protesters clustered outside the glass-and-steel hall in which Cheney spoke. They chanted, "Arrest George Bush; arrest Cheney first."
Take 'em together, like the time they "testified" before Congress.

A perpetual war. The gutting of our justice system which was replaced by Bush loyalists. The coupe came close to succeeding but time is running out on the neocons. They have two choices to continue their coupe, another terrorist attack, where martial law would follow or get John McCain or Hillary Clinton elected as our next president.

A British holidaymaker was awarded compensation by a court because there were too many German tourists at the hotel he booked in Greece, newspapers reported Saturday.
David Barnish, 47, paid 4,000 pounds (5,100 euros, 8,000 dollars) to take his wife and three daughters to a resort in Kos, but the family were unable to take part in entertainment or children's activities because they were only organised in the German language, the Daily Telegraph and Sun reported.
Barnish sued holiday company Thomson for breach of contract, claiming it had failed to disclose that the Grecotel Park hotel was used almost exclusively by Germans.

Brokaw says, “But this president was determined to go to war. It was more theology than it was anything else. It was pretty hard to deal with.” So “hard” that the media didn’t even try hard to “deal” with the 'theology." NBC and others chose to focus on the “evidence” of WMD rather than the evidence that the administration was simply bent on going to war, WMD or not.
Brokaw, to make light of McClellan’s charges, also declares that “all wars are based on propaganda.”
He also blames the Democrats for not raising more of an antiwar cry. What kind of journalist explains a failure to probe the real reasons for a war on others who may not be doing their own due diligence? And as Media Matters pointed out this week, Brokaw's NBC devoted exactly 32 words to the key antiwar political speech in September 2002 by Sen. Ted Kennedy. The other networks did much the same.
That's the standard response by the media, that they don't make the news, they report it. So if only those lazyass Democrats had said something against the war, they could have reported it. Except that when some of the Democrats did say such things, the media didn't report it.
Brokaw: It needs to be viewed in the context of that time. When a president says we’re going to war, that there’s a danger of the mushroom crowd. We know there had been experiments with Iraqi nuclear programs in the past. Honorable people believed he had weapons of mass destruction.
how can you live with yourself knowing you've voted for and continue to support a madman who has placed our country on the brink of collapse economincally, has created more enemies for our country and has dangerously weakened our military?

What if the reason why media commentators STILL cannot admit their failures in the leadup to the Iraq War is that they all STILL have something to hide: that is, close contact with government agents over many years? Operation Mockingbird gets mentioned a lot these days in the comments threads. What do people THINK happened to that program?
In February 1976, George H. W. Bush, the recently appointed Director of the CIA announced a new policy: "Effective immediately, the CIA will not enter into any paid or contract relationship with any full-time or part-time news correspondent accredited by any U.S. news service, newspaper, periodical, radio or television network or station." However, he added that the CIA would continue to "welcome" the voluntary, unpaid cooperation of journalists.
Of course there's no need to get paid by the CIA when Bush's friends in the press will push you to the top of the career ladder, and keep you there no matter what happens.

I mean Obama hasn't health care for workers, a proper retirement program for ww2 retirees and is big in Iowa. He had a major boost thru this state at the start and his non-campaigning in these states shows that he never created a program for these ones. He's partly a non shower. I actually give a damn whether the states of Michigan and Florida did this out of intention. It's a fucking joke nonetheless. Even Schwarzenegger made it to pick super-tuesday. Its democracy made inane. If the states guarantee for false dates, why dont they guarantee only registered members of the democratic party can vote? Yep Charly Christ. Youre a fascist asshole.

From a corporate point of view, the resources below the Iraqi soil have been secured. It's only the (human) resources on the topsoil that are delaying exploitation and the liquidisation of invested capital.
The occupation would be greatly simplified if the previous occupants could be depreciated and disposed of.

Definitely. Celebrating the dark moon on Tuesday and the Solstice (which we call Litha) on the 20th. Then, sadly, the days start getting shorter.

Oh noes! Yes, matricide is still illegal! Don't do it! Rough day? I've made Son promise to tell me when it's time for me to go to a nice nursing home.
Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
I knew it was a long shot, but I thought maybe you knew of some interesting old case.
I'm working on obtaining guardianship, but it's quite a process.
I've told my daughters that if I ever get a comb-over they can have me put to sleep. They enthusiastically agreed.

josh marshall is the worst female-hating sexist in the world. look at this woman hating drivel:
What doesn't get mentioned, however, is this: it was widely reported and understood in both Florida and Michigan that the results of these primaries would not be counted. And based on that knowledge, large numbers of voters in both states simply didn't participate.
If the DNC were now to turn around and decide to make these contests count after all, these non-participating voters would be disenfranchised no less than the people who did turn out would be if the DNC sticks to the rules and doesn't seat any of the delegates. The simple fact is that large numbers of people, acting on accurate knowledge and in good faith, decided that there wasn't a real primary being held in their state on the day in question and on that basis decided not to participate.
Now, the question is, How can we really know how many people didn't show up because they were told it wasn't a real election? There is of course no way to arrive at a direct answer, at least no practical one. But this post by Eric Kleefeld, which builds on a statistical analysis by Gregory P. Nini and Glenn Hurowitz, makes a very strong case that as many as one million voters in Florida and probably more than a half million voters in Michigan did not vote who otherwise would have if they had not believed that the results would not be counted. Take a look.

Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere
Not sure which is harder: to care for someone with Alzheimer's, or to kill them.
My worst experience with it was a woman who's adult son had died. About once an hour, the night of his death, we had to tell her what had happened.
Which was slightly worse than the husband who went mute, and ended his days trying to get out of bed and walk, even though he wouldn't eat or drink or do anything else....

after a wonderful and amazing life together, her husband had a stroke and became a vegetable. after taking care of him for a while, finally she couldn't take it anymore, so she shot him and then committed suicide

Mine are a little stranger, as I guess I am. When we take the dogs for their walk we always take the back way through the boatyard back to Shoreline Drive and pass by the Big Lake on the way home. There is a sloop or maybe a ketch in the yard there. In serviceable condition, probably 38 feet long, fiberglass and beautiful. It has been there for years now: seemingly abandoned.
When I was young it was my dream that when I finished work and retired I would buy a boat like that and live on it somewhere warm. Now, the way I feel - even though financially it MIGHT be possible, physically it is not. It is a sadness.
The sadness for the people who have left you. The sadness for those I haven't been able to help. The sadness for those who will leave soon.
As Sally said, most of the time I am fine. Sometimes the tears leak out.

Alice Sheldon, a/k/a James Tiptree, Jr., Racoona Sheldon, and one other pseudonym, I think.
