I recall Sam Nunn as a conservative but reasonably principled and honest Dem. It made more sense in some ways to be hawkish whne the Soviet Union was still around. Today though he would be painted as a screaming liberal compared to the unprincipled asshattery of Joementum.

Here's what the local hillbilly rag had to say about Nunn's bid a week ago:
"there is not much enthusiasm for the current crop of presidential candidates."
I tore this guy a new one via email and informed his ignorant ass that 61% of Dem voters, when polled, are happy with their choices, only about half as many Gooper voters feel similarly about their choices.
His weak reply was to the effect that "believe it or not, no Dem I know believes that any Dem can carry the South".
I DID interview with one well known (nationally known) law firm on Thursday.
Aced all the tests and I think I did well in the interview.
BUT the hiring partner is on vacation and will be making the decision as to who to call in for a second interview.

Examiners have raised concerns over the amount of "sickeningly violent" content in students' creative coursework for their English GCSEs.
An examiners report from the Edexcel board said one of the most frequently used titles for creative writing coursework was "The Assassin".
It comes amid national alarm over a spate of murders and attacks involving young people.
The report also questioned high marks given for poor quality work.
Examiners said some students were producing thinly plotted and extremely violent content in their stories.

"'Entourage' actor, Garofalo join cast of '24'
By Maureen Ryan
Tribune television critic E-mail story
Printer Friendly
--------------------------------------------------
------------------------------
'The Fox drama "24" may be facing some unusual production delays, but it's perking along nicely in the casting department.
Janeane Garofalo has been cast on the show as Janis Gold, a smart, acerbic systems analyst at the FBI. And Fox has confirmed that "Entourage's" Rhys Coiro, who plays nutty director Billy Walsh on HBO's Hollywood dramedy, has been cast on "24." Garofalo told Jam Showbiz, a Canadian Web site, that Coiro will play another FBI staffer who works with Gold." http://metromix.chicagotribune.c...-

I was talking to the taxi driver
who was giving me some tips
about the coolest places to bomb
and when to let 'er rip
got out at the airport
first class lounge for sure
everybody's waiting to know
how to start the next war
flat world is my home
as long as its secure 5-star bliss
don't want no ragged men

The Iraqi government has imposed a limited curfew on two-wheel vehicles and hand-carts in Baghdad and its surrounding areas as Shia pilgrims head to Karbala for a major festival.
The announcement came on Saturday, hours after a car bomb in Baghdad's Kadhimiya district killed seven and wounded 30 people, according to security officials.
Brigadier General Qassim Atta, an Iraqi military spokesman, said: "An indefinite curfew has been imposed on two-wheelers and hand-carts, but not on other vehicles such as cars."
Baghdad has been under a daily curfew between 10pm and 6am since February.

Not so. The Unity Party could meet for breakfast every morning at Ma's Old Pancake House (offering a unique view of the Great Ball of Twine), and kick around crop rotation ideas and the latest price of hog belly futures.

Under a vote taken moments ago by a powerful committee of the Democratic National Committee, if things don't change, Florida's primary on Jan. 29 will be a beauty context - the delegates won't count toward the party's presidential nomination.
Florida officials complained they were being "disenfranchised," but the DNC strongly pushes back against that contention, since it has rules that Florida decided not to follow.
This is the party's way of trying to stop the crazy domino effect of states moving their nominating contests earlier and earlier, which causes OTHER states to go earlier and earlier.

Sallyh--Unless there is a court order requiring dad to have access to child, Mom should be clear taking child away, esp. from a hostile enviro.
The latter would be a defense to defiance of a court order, but only just. If there is a court order, get it modified ASAP, based on the violence/mistreatment.

There is so much pain in this situation. Your daughter needs to get to the police and connected with every aspect of the social service system that can help her. This is going require a long-term solution and it needs to start now. That said, I also understand your sense of helplessness. Sometimes as parents of adult children all we can do is advise and support, which can be very painful and frustrating. Remember to take care of yourself.

Most of the resale shops here are "antique" shops and the prices rise accordingly. However, there are a few resale shops that have fairly nice furniture in the touristy areas, but they are rather pricey. We will wait till after Labor Day and see what bargains can be had.

"How Do I Know If I'm a Battered Woman?
In legal terms, domestic violence is defined as abuse committed against an adult or fully emancipated minor who is a spouse, former spouse, cohabitant, former cohabitant, or a person with whom the perpetrator has had a child, a dating or an engagement relationship.
Contrary to what many people think, domestic violence is not rare. In 1990, 195,019 domestic violence cases were reported to the police in California. Of these cases, 7,781 were reported in Santa Clara County. In fact, battering is the major cause of serious injury to women in America, more than auto accidents, muggings and rapes combined.
At the Support Network for Battered Women, we use the terms battering, abuse and violence interchangeably. Battering is the use or threat to use physical, sexual, or verbal behavior to coerce the partner into doing something one wants -- to degrade or humiliate; to gain or maintain a sense of power or control. Abusive behaviors may include subtle harm as well as life-threatening acts of violence. Abusive behaviors create an atmosphere of intimidation in a relationship.
Several kinds of abuse can constitute battering in relationships, and each kind can take many different forms. Our society is so tolerant of abusive behavior that we often do not even recognize some behavior as abusive. Some of the kinds of battering include:" http://www.snbw.org/dv_faq/
