The number of Iraqis killed by violence rose in February for the first time in several months, official figures show.
At least 633 civilians died, according to data from several ministries - up from more than 460 deaths in January.
The increase was mainly due to two attacks in Baghdad and one near Karbala that killed at least 150 people.
The sharp rise reverses a six-month trend of fewer casualties, but it is still down from 1,645 civilians killed in February 2007, according to Reuters.

Gunmen have kidnapped the archbishop of the Chaldean Catholic Church in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul and killed three of his aides, his church says.
Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho was seized as he left a church in the eastern al-Nour district, it added.
Pope Benedict XVI deplored the kidnapping as a "despicable" crime.
Most of Iraq's estimated 700,000 Christians are Chaldeans - Catholics who are autonomous from Rome but recognise the Pope's authority.
Many have been targeted since the 2004 invasion by Sunni extremists groups.
In January, bombs exploded outside three Chaldean and Assyrian churches in Mosul. Several Christian priests have also been kidnapped or killed during the past five years.

Flew into London and all the gardens were going, everything was green and lush and beautiful. Travelled through Croatia and Italy, ending up in Germany for a week.

America is officially Dead:
WASHINGTON (AFP) - - The United States will drastically reduce emergency food aid to some of the poorest countries this year because of soaring food prices, The Washington Post reported Saturday.
Citing unnamed officials, the newspaper said the US Agency for International Development was drafting plans to cut down the number of recipient nations and the amount of food provided to them.
A 41-percent surge in prices of wheat, corn, rice and other cereals over the past six months has generated a 120-million-dollar budget shortfall that will force the USAID to reduce emergency operations, the report said.
That deficit is projected to rise to 200 million dollars by the end of the year.
The USAID is reviewing all of the agency's emergency programs, which target countries like Ethiopia, Iraq, Somalia, Honduras and Sudan's Darfur region.
"We're in the process now of going country by country and analyzing the commodity price increase on each country," The Post quotes Jeff Borns, director of USAID's Food for Peace program as saying. "Then we're going to have to prioritize."

The Vietnam War history is being revised to show that we could have won if we just injected another 200,000 troops like Westmoreland wanted us to. This was after we had escalated to 500,000 troops over 5 years.
The truth is 200,000 more troops would not have won, because N. Vietnam would have done what they always did, which is escalate to meet our new levels.
Besides which, we didn't need Vietnam but Vietnam was all Uncle Ho had and he was going to rule it.
The reason Vietnam is being transfigured by the right is to inoculate America against pulling out of Iraq.
"See we could have won in Vietnam (at no sane price)" they cry, "So lets not abandon Iraq."
To which I say bullshit to both wars.

One big reason I'm voting for Barack.
Obama's speech (October, 2002):
Good afternoon. Let me begin by saying that although this has been billed as an anti-war rally, I stand before you as someone who is not opposed to war in all circumstances.
The Civil War was one of the bloodiest in history, and yet it was only through the crucible of the sword, the sacrifice of multitudes, that we could begin to perfect this union, and drive the scourge of slavery from our soil. I don't oppose all wars. My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton's army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain.
I don't oppose all wars.
After September 11th, after witnessing the carnage and destruction, the dust and the tears, I supported this Administration's pledge to hunt down and root out those who would slaughter innocents in the name of intolerance, and I would willingly take up arms myself to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
I don't oppose all wars. And I know that in this crowd today, there is no shortage of patriots, or of patriotism. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other arm-chair, weekend warriors in this Administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne. What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income - to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression.
That's what I'm opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics. Now let me be clear - I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity.
He's a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him. But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history.

More of speech.
I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda.
I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars.
So for those of us who seek a more just and secure world for our children, let us send a clear message to the president today. You want a fight, President Bush? Let's finish the fight with Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, through effective, coordinated intelligence, and a shutting down of the financial networks that support terrorism, and a homeland security program that involves more than color-coded warnings.
You want a fight, President Bush? Let's fight to make sure that the UN inspectors can do their work, and that we vigorously enforce a non-proliferation treaty, and that former enemies and current allies like Russia safeguard and ultimately eliminate their stores of nuclear material, and that nations like Pakistan and India never use the terrible weapons already in their possession, and that the arms merchants in our own country stop feeding the countless wars that rage across the globe.
You want a fight, President Bush? Let's fight to make sure our so-called allies in the Middle East, the Saudis and the Egyptians, stop oppressing their own people, and suppressing dissent, and tolerating corruption and inequality, and mismanaging their economies so that their youth grow up without education, without prospects, without hope, the ready recruits of terrorist cells.
You want a fight, President Bush? Let's fight to wean ourselves off Middle East oil, through an energy policy that doesn't simply serve the interests of Exxon and Mobil.
Those are the battles that we need to fight. Those are the battles that we willingly join. The battles against ignorance and intolerance. Corruption and greed. Poverty and despair.
The consequences of war are dire, the sacrifices immeasurable. We may have occasion in our lifetime to once again rise up in defense of our freedom, and pay the wages of war. But we ought not - we will not - travel down that hellish path blindly. Nor should we allow those who would march off and pay the ultimate sacrifice, who would prove the full measure of devotion with their blood, to make such an awful sacrifice in vain.

Lauren Rozen has compiled several articles which seem to indicate the ME is getting very tense.
IDF inflicting so much damage, the Gazans are being driven ever more to Hamas--possibility of West Bank-wide explosions which the Palestinian leaders cannot control.
An American friend who travels on business to the region writes, "Saw your posts and thought I would pass along some info I just received from my contacts in the Golan- they are preparing for another extended war. Local officials are telling them to stock their bomb shelters with 3 weeks of supplies at a minimum. They believe Hezbollah will attack around March 22 as the 40 day mourning period is over for Mughniyeh. Conventional wisdom there is that no amount of US firepower in the Med is going to deter Nasrallah from seeking revenge. We also discussed the possibility of the IDF having to operate a two front battle plan with the continued unrest in the South. I was in Bahrain two weeks ago and met with some colleagues who were just in Beirut. They report the situation in Lebanon is worsening by the day."
Damn.
Small wars throughout the region?
Saudi embassy asking its nationals to leave Lebanon.
What is going on?

It's embarrassing, though. I was trying to change the toilet seat, and the bolts were held on by plastic nuts which stripped. So I was trying to slice through one of those.
You need to get one of those rubber strap adjustable "wrenches," they're amazing at getting off stripped or too tight plastic nuts and can get into hard-to-reach places. If you're interested I go down into the basement and get the name for you.

We have that problem with the elderly mother in law. She has extremely delicate skin, it tears easily. Over the years her arms look like we have been beating her with a bat. So ER and Doctor visits always include an explanation and a raised eyebrow.

I only found out about them when I was replacing the gasket on a leaky toilet and couldn't get that huge mother friggin god damned giant assed plastic nut around the tank opening off. Lowes didn't have any wrench that would do the job and I saw them in a box on my way out of the store. They did the job in about 2 minutes.

I think this is where Hillary may have lost the nomination:
Atsa bummer, because basically you get 2/3 of a vote at booth and 1/3 at caucus. All you have to do is be there to sign the sheet, though.
I'll see if I can arrange to be home in time to get there. It sounds fun and my candidate (who rules) needs my help at the caucus in order to defeat the other candidate (who sucks).

She had to have been in labor for 30 hours, at least, since it started at 5:30 AM on Friday.

Having had three, with the youngest 22, I almost see a light at the end of the tunnel. But we're not still there yet. But things do get easier.

Adam will have a lot of "uncles and aunts" checking in on him. We'll be able to give him advice and stuff. Of course he might grow up like Josh Kornbluth and write about his life as a Blue Diaper Baby.

Teenagers can be fun. Yours will be smart and funny. You just have to accept that they will think that mom is very, very dumb for a few years. And then you get smart again.

Are you sure about that? There was a diary yesterday at the Orange Satan's place by someone who went to caucus training and said no, you have to stay and participate for your candidate in order to count.

"Sort of feels like everything's on hold until then"
Exactly, nothing at all happening till another primary. There's absolutely nothing for us to do. And the plutocrats know it, hence, 'impeachment is off the table'. Truly, we are a nation of sheep.

In 1968, Mick Ralphs, Verden Allen, Pete "Overend" Watts and Dale "Buffin" Griffin formed a band called Silence, playing near Hereford, England. Adding then lead singer Stan Tippens in 1969, the band recorded early tracks at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth, Wales, UK later dominated by Love Sculpture and Dave Edmunds. Stan was injured soon after joining the band and was unable to continue singing, but the band rallied and eventually signed with Island Records, moving to London to record with Guy Stevens as producer.
Stevens changed the band's name to "Mott the Hoople" from a novel of the same name by Willard Manus; the book is about an eccentric who works in a circus freak show. The band also recruited a new singer and boogie piano player, Ian Hunter. Hunter had replied to a music magazine advertisement which read "Singer wanted, must be image-minded and hungry." Tippens became the road manager for the band. Their debut album, Mott the Hoople (1969), was a cult success, and their repertoire included memorable cover versions of "Laugh at Me" (Sonny Bono), and an instrumental version of "You Really Got Me" (The Kinks).

Interesting:
DAYTON — A record number of people swarmed the Montgomery County board of elections office downtown on Saturday, March 1, to vote early in advance of Tuesday's primary.
More than 1,000 people showed up, said Steve Harsman, director of the county board of elections. The previous one-day record was 400 to 500 — and that was immediately before a general election, not a primary, he said.
