GravatarBrad Young was fired from his job "for violating a school alcohol policy," the Frederick (Md.) News-Post reports. But Young, who coached the Walkersville High softball team, was nowhere near the school when the putative violation occurred:

Young acknowledged that a couple of parents brought beer to the annual post-season team cookout and pool party at his home in June--a violation of Frederick County Public School rules prohibiting alcohol at any school function. Young, in his fifth year as head softball coach, does not work for the school system and said he was unaware that parents drinking at his home during a post-season team party constituted a violation of the alcohol-free, drug-free, tobacco-free school system rules.

First-year junior varsity head coach Danny Cleveland confirmed the school system also relieved him of his coaching duties. Cleveland said his full-time position in school support at Gov. Thomas Johnson High School was not affected.

Young and team parents said none of the students at the party drank or had access to alcohol. The letter Young received from the school system does not allege that any students drank or had access to alcohol at the party. None of the adults at the party were intoxicated, the parents and coach said.

So let's see if I have this straight: If you work for the Frederick County schools, it's a firing offense to allow adult visitors to drink small quantities of beer in your own home. Seems that Walkersville High students are learning two big lessons here: that people in authority cannot be trusted to behave in a reasonable way, and that abuse of alcohol is no worse than responsible drinking.

GravatarDeath Squads and US Democracy

By Bill Van Auken

July 15, 2009 "WSWS" -- The revelation that the CIA initiated a covert program, apparently involving assassinations, and kept it secret from the US Congress on the orders of Vice President Dick Cheney marks a deepening of the crisis in the American state apparatus and an indication of the degeneration of democratic processes within the US.

Last April, under the pressure of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, the Democratic administration of President Barack Obama was compelled to make public a series of previously classified memos issued by the Bush Justice Department which authorized acts of torture in chilling detail. The administration attempted to portray the public airing of these documents exposing crimes of the Bush administration as a signal of the new “openness” and “transparency” of the Obama White House.

At the same time, the White House made it clear that it had no intention of holding anyone accountable for these crimes, with Obama making a visit to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia to reassure those who supervised and carried out much of the torture that he meant them no harm.

GravatarOf Dick Cheney, Assassinations And A Flash Of Deja Vu

By Jim Galloway

July 15, 2009 " WSJ" --- The Guardian newspaper in London has published the following:
Dick Cheney, the former vice president, ordered a highly classified CIA operation hidden from Congress because it pushed the limits of legality by planning to assassinate al-Qaida operatives in friendly countries without the knowledge of their governments, according to former intelligence officials.

Former counter-terrorism officials who retain close links to the intelligence community say that the hidden operation involved plans by the CIA and the military to launch operations, similar to those by Israel’s Mossad intelligence service, to hunt down and kill al-Qaida activists abroad without informing the governments concerned, even though some were regarded as friendly if unreliable.

The CIA apparently did not put the plan in to operation but the US military did, carrying out several assassinations including one in Kenya that proved to be a severe embarrassment and helped lead to the quashing of the programme.

The newspaper’s description produced a flash of déjà vu. This is something I wrote for the AJC in late October 2001, while temporarily posted in Jerusalem:

In Washington, word has leaked that President Bush has given the CIA $1 billion and clear instructions to conduct its shadow war against terrorism — wherever it might lead.

The concept is unfamiliar to most Americans. But a version of it has been going on in Israel for nearly 30 years. Its architects say the United States will see some satisfying victories. But America should prepare itself for tragic blunders and unintended consequences, they say.

I had mine at 35 and 37, and lots of days I thought I was too old.


GravatarThe point of asking these questions of Church officials is to get to this question:

"If you know that the Church says waterboarding is torture and you disagree with them (saying it is just "enhanced interrogation") are you sinning by repeating this incorrect information?

If you aren't using the Church for your moral guidelines on torture whose guidelines are you using?"

If you aren't using the Church's definition of torture to define it, whose definition are you using. Are you saying that the someone else's definition is correct?

Sean Hannity can be shown to be in defiance of the Catholic Churches views on torture.

Torture is a moral issue as well as a legal issue. Hannity is a Catholic. Catholics are supposed to be getting their moral instructions from the Church, if you are not getting it from them then you are freelancing, a "Cafeteria Catholic".

We might not care, but Hannity wraps himself in the Catholic pro-life flag but he doesn't with torture, he is a Dick Chaney/John Yoo catholic. They are his moral providers.

The real thrust is that WOMEN shouldn't have kids if they might die, men it doesn't really matter because they are going off and dying all the time. It's about only women and be a good parent to children.

GravatarThe real thrust is that WOMEN shouldn't have kids if they might die, men it doesn't really matter because they are going off and dying all the time. It's about only women and be a good parent to children.


interestingly, the subject of wear and tear on the woman's body was given minimal attention in that article.


GravatarI gave all my remnants of marijuana to my nephews. I took the three eldest out for dinner tonight -- god, I love those kids.

I didn't have much, and I don't smoke much, but I figured I might as well totally clean out while hunting for employment. I don't need a hair test coming my way, and I smoked some excellent weed at Bliss.

I can pass a urine test in a heartbeat, though.

This bill is an egregious example of liberal overreach. If passed we will see any manner of sexual perversions legitimized as unassailable and any crime or speech against these proclivities will be suddenly termed a “hate crime.” We will also see crimes against gays and lesbians suddenly deemed as somehow worse than crimes against straight people simply by the virtue that the victims are gay.

We will also have codified crime based on thought if this bill passes. How will a judge or prosecutor determine if “hate” was the basis for crime, anyway? How can a jury know that a gay man was beaten because he is gay as opposed to because he didn’t give a mugger his wallet?

I don't care for wingnuts.


GravatarMP
When you are injured in the head the EMTs ask you questions to see if you are aware of
Who you are, where you are and what time it is. The question for the time is, "Who is our president?"
When Clinton was the President my aunt (in the reddest of red states) answered, "That jerk!"
The EMTs thought that was just fine.
I've heard that story several times as their way of taunting me with "that Jerk"

I point out to them that she didn't actually answer the question. She might have been talking about George H.W. Bush and was delusional about the time, or she knew that it was Clinton had aphasia and couldn't say his name and said "That jerk" to hide her problem.

Gravatar chicago dyke: no, you won't. not a real one, nor a real hair test either. not for months.

Most companies that aren't required by law (mostly transportation, sensitive government, etc.) to test do very little actual testing, 'cause it's too goddamn expensive... even the EMIT tests which are relatively cheap would be a hardship if they tested every sample. So if the resume looks good, the test is if you will show up and produce some urine.

Gravatarthere are kits you can buy at WalMart that will "fool" the pee test - my son did so when he got a new job and passed with flying colors.

one last and i'm really out: actually, it's all about money. cheap kits will pass you for a local, dimestore grade drug test. the "standard" piss test is one set of chemicals, but "they" have others, which get much much more serious on your parts/pieces/hair/whatever, and which can determine a lot more about you than you may think, beyond "regular" drug use. that's the scary part. for a min wage/low level/entry type job, most of the time, they pay my friend a shockingly low rate to "analyze the urine." but if the people paying him want the Real Dirt, they pay him to use this expensive machine which breaks down anything to the subatomic level. from which he can tell them anything, like, down to the coke someone served you last tuesday. for a long time.

drug testing is a crony scam. most people who take one will "fail," and those that "pass" only do so bc the testing facilities weren't looking to fail them. that's all i'm saying. along with the fact that various states/govts make Big Money off the testing industry. think emissions for your car, and you get my drift. no, there's not cheating there. never.

and goodnight. also.

Have you been drinking?


GravatarChimps and humans can't freely exchange genes. Human populations can (and do). Which means any allele frequency differences among subpopulations are transient and based on historical contingencies or stochastic demographic factors (by the way, there are no known fixed, i.e. 100% vs. 0%, differences between any two major geographic populations, at least as of 2008 that I am aware). A very large proportion of the variation was present in our African ancestors before humans expanded to the other continents.

Gravatar"sickle cell is highly prevalent among blacks and nearly unexistent among whites."

you are an idiot.

"Is sickle cell a "black" disease? No. Contrary to popular perception, the gene variant that causes sickle cell disease evolved as a result of its surprising upside – malaria resistance. In the malaria belt regions of Africa, the Middle East, southern Europe and South Asia, this gene variant flourished because the benefits of malaria resistance outweighed the negative impact of sickle cell disease.

Why does sickle cell seem to afflict blacks the most? Sickle cell is found more frequently in persons of Middle Eastern, Indian, Mediterranean and African heritage because those geographic regions are most prone to malaria. The gene variant for sickle cell disease is related to malaria, not skin color."

There are interesting (and scary) possibilities regarding tropical diseases and global warming. Actually, malaria was present in North America (e.g. it was a problem while building the Erie Canal through western NY wetlands). Its elimination is thought to have been due to reduction of mosquito populations (through DDT usage) in the 20th century.

GravatarThere was a guy in the college town near us who won the lottery TWICE a while back. He won with an office pool (actually hospital - he was a med tech) and got about $25,000 a year from that. Then he and his brother won the Powerball (this was in the early 90s - we didn't even have it in SD yet and they went to Iowa every week to buy a ticket). I forget exactly what they got, but it was around $175,000/year for 20 years. I did an article for the paper about him and his wife and family, and they kept the same house they had but did buy new furniture. They also kept working for about a year.

They've since divorced and he turned all Harley-rider free spirit last I heard.

GravatarI guess it can really fuck with your mind. I'd like to have those problems to deal with for once though, instead of the "I don't ever have enough fucking money" problems.

it could actually make you ill I think if it was too much.


well, as a friend of mine once said to me, " Money can't buy you happiness but poverty can't buy you anything at all.'


GravatarI'm there 6.5 days a week if not on the road. I'm planning this Tuesday to be at the DL at Triumph (2nd & Chestnut) to participate in the Marcellina Grand Tour of Eschaton.

Yaaaayyyy!!

Zat you on the right?


GravatarWhen powerful businessmen say they are in their prime during their 50's, it's because they can tell a lot of young people what to do.

Blue collar workers have long past their prime when they reach their 50's.

GravatarIna, you're the kind of woman I'm happy to know — immensely cool, young at heart, and deeply wise.


GravatarCan I buy you a drink?

Of course.

The wonderful Mrs. Moe is a world away. This side of the globe is dark.

I had long hair my whole life, and just before I had my senior pics taken, I got a "Dorothy Hamill" haircut. It looks nothing like I looked all through high school.

I still do that - keep my hair around shoulder length for quite a while, then one day, whack it off. Then I regret it until it grows back out. Enjoy it long for a while, and then whack it off. Etc. Etc. Etc.

You'd think I'd learn.


Gravatar I don't have a high school graduation picture. I never bought them, or the ring, or went to the prom, and I don't know what happened to the diploma or the yearbook.
I guess you could say high school was the worst time of my life.

Thank you, to for your kindness. Just for that--I'm driving to the DL in Philly!

Oh yes, my life doesn't have enough trauma in it. Let's add this.

GravatarIna, were you the commenter who was concerned about an old friend's behaviour toward your daughter? If that was you, how did that work out?

Gravatar"Me, too. But I was young and sexy once, here's photographic proof!"

I don't dig on the plague, but the Badlands were fucking gorgeous, and the plains were pretty to drive through. Plus we had dinner with Uncle Smokes!


Gravatar"She thinks my tractor's sexy." What kind of idiot is "she" anyway? Ack.

Cleetus T. Judd, the country version of Weird Al (really), parodies that as "My Cellmate Thinks I'm Sexy." Even dumber, now with added homophobia.


GravatarHappy Birthday, bluesman!


I think Randi Rhodes has lost her mind. What the fuck is her major beef with him??

Franken did a great job today. He refuted the conservatives' idea of 'Judicial Activism', while simultaneously repudiating the hillbilly idiots in the Senate who attacked Sotomayor for supporting privacy rights. Where Lindsey Graham asked Sotomayor if 'abortion' appears anywhere in the Constitution, Franken made the point that the right to privacy doesn't either, but is explicitly recognized as a Constitutionally protected right. As if getting rid of it would NOT constitute 'judicial activism'..

Franken underlined the hypocrisy of the Lindsey Graham Cracker Caucus rather deftly.

What objection do you have to daring to believe in yourself? That all people inherently have the potential to attain enlightenment is what Sakyamuni Buddha's Lotus Sutra is all about!

Sounds sorta like my thing with beards. Lotta white nowadays. When my wife gets real shrill, it goes away.


GravatarOh, and Happy Birfday, Bluesman!
