On Abrams, Nancy Grace an playing an uptight hooker.
Sen. John McCain has officially broken the limits imposed by the presidential public financing system, reports filed last night show. McCain has now spent $58.4 million on his primary effort. Those who have committed to public financing can spend no more than $54 million on their primary bid. So has McCain broken the law? The answer is far from simple.

It's about documentary co-directed by Phil Donahue about a young man who enlisted on 9/13/2001 to fight the terrorists in Afghanistan. Of course, BushBoy had other ideas--send him to Dear Leader's war of aggression where he was shot on his 5th day and paralyzed from the mid-chest down.
It is fierce. And also so moving about this young man--who wanted the doc to be a political statement. And it is.

"Meet Buraki, the vicious 200-meter-long Imoogi serpent from Ancient
Korea. His army includes giant lizards with missile launchers, flying
dragons, soldiers bred for evil and mega-intelligent dinosaurs."
So far this rather hamfisted review does not mention that the filmmaker explicitly made money a "campaign plank" in the promotion of this film, and appeared at the end of the K-version promising the fatherland that the dubbed version would succeed wildly in the all-important American market.
Hope there'll be some sing-along opportunities at EschaCon.

Happy good Friday. I've been fasting all day today and for dinner I'm having shrimp.
After that I'll be doing the stations of the cross and whipping myself with a cat o' nine tails as I tighten my cilice, (a small metal chain with inward-pointing spikes that is worn around their upper thigh. I got mine on sale after the movie The DiVinci Code made them popular again. $29.99 at Human Target.)
This mortification is just the thing for a slow Friday night because it lets me offer up my pain to God. And this whipping has a long history in the Catholic Church. It has been endorsed by Popes!They say it lets you follow Christ who died in a bloody crucifixion and who gave this advice: "let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me." (Lk 9:23)[50] And after the Mel Gibson movie I know what I should look like at the end of the evening.
Yes, the Catholic faith is clearly one sane religion.

Barack Obama made about his grandmother during an interview on Philadelphia sports radio station 610 WIP the previous day.

Wallace knows that hate radio and tv is going the way of Joe McCarthy,into the grave.He also knows that the hatred will be racheted up to the point that some aryan nation turd might take it all a bit too seriously and go after B.O.The result of which would be a sadness not seen since the MLK tragedy.

It worked fucking great for a very small minority in the South, and as all humans do they had an agenda in the Convention. After the Constitution was ratified, they used internal manipulations to garner way more power than warranted in disproportionate districting, etc, to ensure that the Peculiar Institution would last longer than it naturally would have, and guaranteeing civil war.

It is true and worth studying how the South formed this whiney, disproportionately powerful minority out of their own perception as God's people, and enjoyed this disproportionate power until recently. Even the placement of the capital in an uninhabitable swamp that was abandoned for much of the year until recently, from the logical original choice of New York, was a sop for the all-important cause of pleasing these damned Southerners.

Former State Department official. In his infamous 9/11 sermon, Wright claimed to have heard a white ambassador named Peck quote Malcolm X about chickens coming home to roost on Fox News. John King played it like he couldn't find anything to prove an Ambassador Peck ever made such claims. But Peck wasn't actually the Ambassador to Iraq under Reagan. Like the Good Joe Wilson, Peck was the chief-of-mission, not ambassador.

I probably should have qualified that with "they are hiring all new teachers because, apparently under NCLB, these teachers are teh suxxor".
Then there's this:
Of the seven schools previously fresh-started, four have since closed; one has made modest gains and it's too soon to tell with two others, said Dave Heistad, the district's research and testing director.
Miss Thing's vet will come to the house for little things. She still hates him, but at least when he finishes and goes away, she's at home with her toys and my bed.

Zap,
Usually when the schools are having trouble it is not the teachers, you know?
Sometimes there are some teachers who are burned out. Teaching does take a toll on a person. But there really is nothing a person can do about that.
The problems that a school has are usually in the support that a school has from the structures that should be supporting it: the district, the community, the parents, and the students. If these fail, it is hard for the teachers to be the only ones supporting the school. . . .

I grew up in that neighborhood (the one that has the school mentioned). There's not any lack of community or financial support for the school. Minneapolis is great that way.

WASHINGTON — President Bush contended that Iran has "declared they want a nuclear weapon to destroy people" and that the Islamic Republic could be hiding a secret program.
Iran, however, has never publicly proclaimed a desire for nuclear weapons and has repeatedly insisted that the uranium enrichment program it's operating in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions is for civilian power plants, not warheads.
Bush made his assertion Wednesday in an interview marking the Iranian New Year with Radio Farda, a U.S. government-run radio service that broadcasts into Iran in the Farsi language. The White House released the transcript on Thursday.

Zap,
In all fairness, the results that are expected on the standardized tests are not that difficult to achieve for suburban schools. The problems arise when you move the tests into places where they were not designed to be effective.
The vocabulary is "different" the concepts are "different" and the ethics of trying to do well on the tests are different. Example: on a science test it asked the kids which sound was "Lower" and then it listed several different sounds. My children understand the word LOWER to mean "Softer" not something slower in vibration resulting in a tone lower in the register. They all missed that question.
I cannot tell you how many times I looked at my student's answers to questions that I KNEW that they KNEW the answers to and had answered incorrectly. I asked them why they answered the question that way and they just shrugged their shoulders.
No matter how hard we stressed that they try, they would not, could not, did not as much as we wanted.
I dunno what the answer is: I prefer trusting the teacher. We know our students pretty well. But we don't do that, so . . . .

Central banks float rescue ideas
By Chris Giles and Krishna Guha in London
Published: March 21 2008 22:02 | Last updated: March 21 2008 22:02
Central banks on both sides of the Atlantic are actively engaged in discussions about the feasibility of mass purchases of mortgage-backed securities as a possible solution to the credit crisis.
Such a move would involve the use of public funds to shore up the market in a key financial instrument and restore confidence by ending the current vicious circle of forced sales, falling prices and weakening balance sheets.

The Report on Manufactures is the third report, and magnum opus, of American Founding Father and 1st U.S. Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton to Congress on December 5th, 1791 recommending economic policies to stimulate the new republic's economy and ensure its independence won in 1783 with the completion of the Revolutionary War.

Hamilton's "Report on Manufactures" laid forth economic principles, rooted in both the Mercantilist System of Elizabeth I's England and the practices of Jean-Baptiste Colbert of France. The principle ideas of the "Report" would later be incorporated into the "American System" program by Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky and his Whig Party. Abraham Lincoln who called himself a "Henry Clay tariff Whig" during his early years would later make the principles outlined in the "Report" and furthered by Clay's "American System" program as cornerstones, together with opposition to the institution and expansion of slavery, of the fledgling Republican Party.

Shorter Mukasey: Really, people, please be too shocked by our enemies
to think too hard about what we're doing. The other night we watched a conflicted but sincere film from the early forties about the internment of Japanese Californians. The speaker acknowledged several times that they knew the overwhelming majority of these people were not only innocent but exemplary citizens and that they were being selected on explicitly racial grounds, that this was regrettable, but that this was believed to be necessary. He claimed the US would try to be as accommodating as possible while denying the enemy a potential source of support (such as Hitler was able to use in occupied Netherlands and elsewhere among ethnic Germans). He offered that our enemies can see us here at our worst and say, we are still at worst trying to be humane and accommodating, and learn from this. He closed by affirming that the United States would not allow the actions of its enemies to give it a childish excuse to lower its own standards. If the internment were happening today we'd just fucking disappear them all in the middle of the night and not allow contact with the outside world, we'd be following Eichmann instead of Eisenhower.
He stole a lot of the best stuff in the Declaration, tho.

Hamilton reasoned that to secure American independence the United States needed to have a sound policy of encouraging the growth of manufacturing and secure its future as a permanent feature of the economic system of the nation. These he argued could be achieved through: bounties or subsidies to industry, regulation of trade with moderate tariffs not to discourage imports but to raise revenue to support American manufacturing through subsidy, and other government encouragement. These policies would not only promote the growth of manufacturing but provide diversified employment opportunities and promote immigration into the young United States, but it would also expand the applications of technology and science for all quarters including agriculture.

gotta give hucksterbee credit for his defense of wright and obama.
Which provides a clue as to why this entire flap will ultimately make no difference.
I would bet that half the churchgoers in the country have to sit and listen to sermons they don't always agree with. That doesn't mean they'll abandon the church, because there are all sorts of reasons for staying with a church, some of them rooted in a sense of Christian fellowship which has little or nothing to do with the pastor's political views.
If the Obama-bashers keep it up they'll wind up offending a good many people who have nothing in common with Rev. Wright.

Obama. He's the one who played the race card, in hopes that Hillary would lose the 60% support she had in the Black community. He played it to a tee, and now garners 92% of the black vote himself. However, he also chose to attend a church with a bigoted, hate-filled preacher. And despite all the scum in the media, and all the despicable scum outside the media, who still support this lying, lowlife, racist, bigoted piece of crud, the American people will NEVER elect him. He may eventually STEAL this nomination, but he will NEVER win in the general election. Face it.

So I'm cooking dinner.
(Sugar glazed garlic shrimp with wild rice.) and I'm listening to the fill in for Mark 'Whiniest Voice in the World" Levin. And he is going on about all the connections to this Pastor that Obama has and blah, blah, blah. And I'm just thinking. "Why can't we tie everyone else on the talk radio side to the crazy religious people that THEY have on the show? "
I remember how Hannity kept his friendship with Ted Nugent and with Pat Robertson right after they said something terrible.
This double standard is just insane. But I do want to file it away for future reference. So that when one of their buddies says something horrific we can say. "I need YOU to denounce this person just like you were demanding that Obama denounce his pastor. Of course they have their slippery tricks. "Well I didn't sit in Pat Robertson's church for 20 years, I didn't title my second book after one of his sermons, I didn't blah, blah, blah."
It is just stunning to me that they are so desperate to attack Obama that they use what someone ELSE said to beat up on him.

If anyone actually cares (which I doubt) my central idea for improving the schools at this time would be to (oddly enough) return to true neighborhood schools. Have a teacher and an aide and a wired classroom with a super-duper curriculum delivered individually through the computer with assistance from the teacher, aide, and other students.
Our present schools are designed to produce MASS quantities of people all doing the same thing at the same time in the same location. This is not what work consists of any more (If it ever did that much)
We stifle students who can move on through material that they grasp easily and we do not spend enough time with students who need extra help on subjects. (And teachers, in order to address the needs of all students are guilty of giving "Make-work" assignments so that they can work with individuals.)
This method would also help students to become nurturing adults. They would have students as young as five in the same classroom and would have to learn some of the skills necessary for parenting.
But we will never do this: hard to get a football team and marching band, you know?

All Bill Clinton did was invite a comparison of voting for his wife vs McFuck as compared by implication to voting for Obama vs McFuck. There is nothing illegitimate or unethical about that bit of framing. In fact, that is the essence of the D campaign at this point, and he has a fiduciary duty to invoke the problems the opponent has in winning the big prize.
He did not question Obama's patriotism except in the minds of rabid fantasists with an ax in the grinding race.

It is just that there SOLUTIONS to most of the problems that we face but there are forces that STOP us from doing anything about them. Intel announces today that it has found a way to extend wireless internet signals up to sixty miles. That should mean in a place like where I live, one central tower should be able to broadcast the "Web" to the county -- paid for out of our taxes. (But Comcast will fight it. Verizon will fight it. And nothing will done)
Schools are a mess. We should change them. The textbook manufacturers will fight this. The multinationals involved in the school lunch programs will fight this. The Teachers Associations will fight this (It will require teachers to learn more and be certified as K-12 in all subjects) Parents will fight this because it is different.
And on and on. Energy prices are dropping again as soon as people start gearing up and racism rules until it stops after the damage is done.

I can't believe that Jefferson and Adams both died precisely on the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration.
That's just too wierd.
Both dying on the same day is weird enough. Both dying on the 4th of July is really weird. But the fact that it was the 50th anniversary is just...something we'd never believe if we saw in a movie.
I agree completely. Many districts probably spend more on school buses than on individual curricular issues. - leibniz♘☮

Bill doesn't, and never has, thought Obama was a legitimate candidate.
My mom was born in Arkansas on the same day as Bill Clinton. While she fondly recalls many of the "nice"blacks that lived near her family as a child, she's not ready to vote for a black president.
Many people who are otherwise perfectly nice (like Obama's grandma) often have one big blind spot. Especially those of a certain generation. I hope that generationally speaking things are getting better, although I know we'll still have a long way to go.

I understand - I saw the clip played later today and of course he meant her and McCain, but when I saw the quote first, out of context posted bare here at 15:46, I interpreted it at first to mean the Dems. As it could, lacking as it does any disparagement of anyone.
Even applied to McCain and her as I said, it disparages no one.
I don't know what he thinks/has thought about Obama's legitimacy candidate-wise since I'm no mind-reader, but he has said that he admires it, for which he obviously has cause, no dummy he.

The mocking of Obama's speeches (which are far more inspiring than hers, or her husband's, ever will be), the childishness of her remarks, the pettiness of her campaign, etc., etc., are tremendously off putting and are reminscent of GOP like tactics.

not just Republicans and not just in the south. Anybody who is still calling themselves a swing-voter, who is still considering voting for Bombs Away McCain, is either a hard core Republican or a "low information voter" (that's the acceptable term for "fucking moron" now, right?). Those people vote on personality, and in a personality contest, filtered through NBC, McCain wins.

OK, let me be blunt.
The fear is that if Obama is the nominee, all the closet racists (of which there is no small number) come out and vote him down.
The other fear is that if Clinton is the nominee, all the Clinton haters (of which there is no small number) come out and vote her down.
The positives are that an awful lot of Republican women might in fact switch over to Hillary, and an awful lot of young people are going to be mobilized to come out and vote for Barack.
My guess is that racism has become less internally acceptable than misogyny or at best Hillary dislike; I really think we've turned a corner in this country, and most people, if they act in a racist manner, at least have the grace to feel guilty about it. I don't think we're there yet with respect to women.
I still think Hillary would prove a better, more able executive; but it seems almost obvious that Barack is an easier sell to the country.
And we have to win this time. The country is at stake, and that ain't hyperbole.

campaigning in the South is one thing, but as Tom Shaler has shown, Democrats don't need the South to win, and spending more than a token effort there in the general takes resources away from the Mountain West and the Southwest, where we can turn red states blue.
You miss the point.
We HAVE the resources to fight in every state, and it helps the down ballot races, which is how you turn the states blue.
We may not win the presidential here, but we can knock off some reps and maybe even Cornyn.
And making McBush fight in every state will break the RNC. Why just surrender those states?

Sorry, disagree, most of the opposition to her is due to the DLC ideology
Joe and Jane Average Voter don't even know what the DLC is. But they are likely to have heard Rush or seen FOX Noise rip on the Clintons for decades. But that smoke blows away in the winds of reality.

But Hillary should end her campaign and therefore the primary before the rest of the people in a dozen states even get to vote.

Serena was way hotter.
JeffCO
---------------
Wasn't it great the way they found an actress that looked so much alike Elisabeth Montgomery?
I read some where that an TV executive ran into Serena at a nightclub selling cigarettes and said that she could pass for Elizabeth Montgomery's sister. She wiggled her nose and he decided right then to hire her. Elizabeth Montgomery was blown away the first time that they introduced her on the set. She said, "It was like looking into a mirror. Me, only with darker hair!"
They were the best of friends right up until Montgomery's death. After Bewitched was canceled the woman who played Serena (real name Susan Hilton)left show business and married George Tobias, the actor who played Mr. Kravitz. She had twins boys named Sam and Darrin!

Their main problem (at least in my eyes) was that most of their hosts had absolutely no radio experience except for Randi Rhodes (and Mike Malloy, but he didn't come on until later), and it showed. They treated it like it was a Bush bashing, celebrity fundraiser. Running a radio station on a daily basis is very difficult (obviously)...

you can't. that's why we gotz our own crack squad of Hilary all knowers/haters to clue us in ...
According to exit polls, Clinton won a notably higher number of Republican voters than she has in past open primary contests. Of the 9% of voters who identified themselves as Republicans in the Democratic Primary, Obama still edged Clinton 53%-46%. However, that margin is significantly slimmer than earlier contests. In Wisconsin’s open primary, for instance, Republicans broke 72%-28% for Obama. Similarly, in Virginia’s open primary, Obama was favored 72%-23%- WSJ 3/06/2008

The racist pigs are mainly republican anyway. The republicans that are not, either vote for McCain or Obama.
This year I believe the Military and their families will be switching to the Dems. The fiscal conservatives like my Dad hate McCain and are not voting. I am not sure if the religious right will be coming out in droves as they did with Bush.
Logically this looks like a Dem year regardless of the candidate, but I have more confidence with Obama than Clinton.

Listen, We all are surrounded by republicans, some of them are loved ones, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and yes friends. When you have honest political conversations with them they seem to think Obama is nice, brillant, and yes, some have told be he looks presidential. These republicans on the most part are leaning Obama, some are voting for Mccain (while holding their noses) but not one of them likes Hillary.
That would be like 8 years from now Laura Bush runs and polls are indicating that she is doing well with Democrats. Yeah lets all vote for Laura so we can see George Bush again. Yeah right!
