when you think about it, surely a true conservative would deplore the increase of state power when it came to wiretapping and imprisonment

because they are all about small government correct? and therefore would be hopping mad that the government was invading privacy

GravatarMoon: they aren't true conservatives. They're interested only in aggrandizing power in the executive, and employing that power to their benefit and those of their allies. Simple as that.


GravatarThe 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.

GravatarGunmen 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.

I went to Europe back in 2005, a trip I'll never make again, obviously. But we went for three weeks in April. 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. Just beautiful spring all the way around.

Got back on the plane, came back to Halifax, and there was snow on the ground.


GravatarCynicus: what are rules 1-4?


GravatarNo mystery, these are not conservatives. They are radicals and promote radical agendas.

In the Bush era, With many of them, they don't think particularly deeply about any of it. They just want to be more "conservative" than the other guy because they figure they will get elected that way. The result is cartoonish.

GravatarAmerica 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."

Feel free to observe the claws out on many other websites, where personal attacks on me take the place of any serious effort to engage on the merits.

The vicious attack on the messenger bespeaks fear of the message and lack of a substantive argument against it.

GravatarThe 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."

And if I could just get your SS....


GravatarOne 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.


GravatarI have a big head, too. And a lot of hats.

You are one of Us, then. shhh.
Echidne |


One of my daughters has a very big head--please welcome her to your club. The other daughter has a very tiny head--she may need you even more...


GravatarMore 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.

Gravatarwhatever you think of Ronald Reagan one thing that's incontestable is that Reagan made us feel very good about ourselves after a very long and dark period



Hello?

Ronald Reagan was a fake and the people who bought into his bullshit were too stupid to live.

GravatarI already felt good about myself during the Reagan years and, if my memory isn't faulty, I recall a few woman feeling pretty damn good.


GravatarA B movie actor was elected president of the United States. I can assure you that he didn't make me feel good about anything.

A few years into his presidency and I was feeling quite ill.

GravatarOkay, well that was generalizing. My expectations may be a bit out there.


GravatarIt'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.

GravatarI was trying to change the toilet seat . . .

a story like that is usually ends with " . . ., your Honor."


GravatarI cut close to my wrist once with a chisel, doing something stupid, as usual.

The longest wait in the ER was for the psychiatrist.


GravatarI felt left out as a kid because I never peed my pants, never broke an arm, and never had to leave school early for some event.

GravatarToilet insides are easy. It's the fucking stuck bolts that get me.


GravatarI fell out of trees several times but never broke anything.


Gravatar"I felt left out as a kid because I never peed my pants"

Well sometimes once you are a certain age, you realize, hey, there is a lot of stuff I never got to do as a kid. And then you proceed to knock off the list.

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?


GravatarI break toes and fingers all the time, but after several trips to the ER, you figure out that they're just going to tape it to the next one, so there's not much point in wasting the time.


GravatarI've never broke a bone.

Broke bunches of brain cells, but never a tibia or what ever...


GravatarI honestly didn't realize until very recently that Peter Jennings was a complete fucking idiot.


GravatarIt'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.

Gravatar"I spent more time with suspicious people in suits than my daughter did with medical personnel"

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.


GravatarI've not seen a toilet seat with plastic nuts. Usually the nuts are brass with a plastic cap covering them.


GravatarLong, not deep.


Ahhhh.  That makes more sense.


GravatarI once cut into my hand while slicing a lemon. I don't recommend it.

Molly, got any butterfly bandages? With your crew, you should have a well-stocked first aid kit.

Also a "Best of Mink DeVille" that wasn't there last time I checked...

Yes. And yes.

I just looked at it; it appears to be closing pretty well. I think it'll be okay.


GravatarBecause they're always being told that this [holds finger slightly apart] is six inches.


Ok, really more of a visual joke.


GravatarWasn't it called something else when it was originally released in the US?

"Pure Pop for Now People." The re-release combines both versions with some tracks that weren't on either.

GravatarObama appears to be growing a mustache.


GravatarGromit, having changed 14 different babies over a period of thirty-seven years, you've got to keep them changed.

Hmmm, we were using the once-a-week diaper. That mighta been the problem.

A beard, actually.


GravatarSpeaking of stinky, this threads getting a little ripe. Did Atrios leave the keys with anyone?


GravatarObama still has the smoker's lines in his face.


GravatarIf I remember correctly, the first poops are icky green-black shit. Then, if you breast feed, yellowy loose poop, but not much smell. My eldest son went a week without pooping when he was about four or five weeks old. I remember calling the doctor saying "wtf." He said, no need to worry. That night we had a flood of poop. Didn't smell bad though.


GravatarIt just doesn't get cooler than that.

No, it doesn't.


GravatarI just realized my nieces and nephews range in age of 41 to 13 months. Feeling old all of a sudden, need to think about sleep.

Awww, wook at da witto babeeee!


GravatarHe grasps the crags with crooked hands,
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls
He watches from his mountain walls,
Amd like a thunderbolt he falls.


GravatarIsn't this the Scatology blog?

YAY!!!!

He's adorable!


GravatarNim, what a beautiful baby. Not a conehead at all.

Congrats to you and Jen, Nim

What makes you think I'm referring to him?

Ouch!


GravatarDylan was kissed by God. There's no other explanation for talent like his.

Congratulations!!!


GravatarSpeaking of scatology, it seems L. Ron Hubbard plagiarized his religious text from a 1934 German book. Such a bad writer he couldn't even make up a fake religion properly.


GravatarIt little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,


Actually it was his brother. Steve Ulysses.

Ran a comic book/FroGurt store on Milwaukee Avenue in 1988 and sold pot out of the back.

We used to sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings!
How some have been deposed, some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed.


GravatarI like the bathtub pics!


GravatarSo you guys missed the religion flame up earlier...

Snow v JR.

Ugly, Ugly, Ugly...just kidding, it was pretty enlightening actually.
NTodd, your scat reference reminded me. "Scatology", "Epistimology", I always seem to get those confused, know what I'm sayin?


GravatarSo why is it that when I post at Pax Americana my links are sometimes hot links & sometimes not -- I can't remember what I am doing different (assuming that I am)


GravatarObama now doing town hall format.

I'll be traveling for work on Tuesday, so I will miss my opportunity to attend the Democratic caucus meeting at my polling place, which apparently occurs right after the polls close. My admission ticket is my voter registration card stamped "Democratic," reflecting that I voted in the Dem primary.

I have never inquired about the Texas process before this year.

GravatarIn 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).

GravatarInteresting:

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.
