"BETTER OPPOSITION, PLEASE.... Rep. Paul Broun, a right-wing Republican from Georgia, spoke from the House floor this afternoon, to explore his opposition to a public option in health care reform. He concluded that a public plan would kill Americans.
"...and that's exactly what's going on in Canada and Great Britain today. They don't have the appreciation of life, as we do in our society, evidently. And, um. Dr. Roe, a lot of people are gonna die, this program of 'government option' is being touted as being this panacea, the savior of allowing people to have quality health care at an affordable price -- is gonna kill people.""

Diane,
Wife took the camera to Wisconsin. I'll do so later this weekend.
So nobody thinks this is a fine, fine, Exec. Summary beginning for a grant application?
"The Great War Primary Documents Archive seeks a three year NEH
grant in the amount of $136,000, to complete a long term project which
digitises and makes freely available public historical records of the
Great War and its time."
GWPDA yclept Damaged Historian
Agreed with recommendations from others that you at least double the amount requested (more would be okay too--half a mill sounds reasonable to me) but with an addition: Surely there is some way you can work in a mention of all the hiring that such a project would clearly require: several different flavors of historian, researchers, archivists, plus a heapin' helpin' of computer people: database designers, server experts, web professionals et al. Plus photography pros.
Now the fact that most of these jobs would be filled by you as indeed they have been lo these past however many years need not be emphasized.
And what the hell, you might like to hire some of the work out. Put Jeffra on the payroll for instance. And Arthur on the books as security staff. Etc.

That the CIA has not captured Osama bin Laden after eight years, should be a perpetual albatross around the neck of the CIA.
And don't tell me Clinton told them to back off. They have so much black ops money lying around, they could have done it themselves if they wanted to.

crafty kids - Children taking part in a study to measure how much exercise they do fooled researchers by attaching their pedometers to their pet dogs.
About 200 children in east London were given pedometers to automatically count how many steps they walked and ran.
Mile End Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine was surprised by the activity levels recorded in some obese children.
Professor Nicola Maffulli said: "Then we realised they were attaching the pedometers to their dogs' collars."
so, one of the other engineers just told me this story:
a xian was evangelizing in a small village in asia somewhere. he starts out telling the story of "no room in the inn" when a villager stops him. "they couldn't find room for two people??? so they made them sleep in the barn? what kind of a messed up country do you come from??"
Hey can current fathers get in on this action?

Turkey's prime minister has described ethnic violence in China's Xinjiang region as "a kind of genocide".
"There is no other way of commenting on this event," Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.
He spoke after a night-time curfew was reimposed in Xinjiang's capital, Urumqi, where Muslim Uighurs and Han Chinese clashed last Sunday.
The death toll from the violence there has now risen from 156 to 184, China's state-run Xinhua news agency reports. More than 1,000 people were injured.
Turkey, a predominantly Muslim country, shares linguistic and religious links with the Uighurs in China's western-most region.

Asif Ali Zardari is the current president of Pakistan. He is the former husband of Benazir Bhutto and came into power on her coat tails after she was assassinated. He is also the son of veteran politician Mr. Hakim Ali Zardari. Mr. Zardari is commonly known in Pakistan as "Mr. Ten Percent" due to his well-known cuts on various government deals.
Thanks, Diane C. I'm not even rational about her anymore. She has made us all laugh more than we've laughed in a year.

The new senator from Minnesota is a comedian, writer and actor who lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and raised a lot of money from friends in Hollywood. The departing governor of Alaska is a hockey mom from a small backwoods town who likes to hunt and fish. Yet today, Al Franken looks wholesomely mainstream, while Sarah Palin seems headed for the tabloid fringe.

Big Ben, arguably London's most recognised landmark, will celebrate its 150th anniversary tomorrow.
The name Big Ben is often used to describe the tower, the clock and the bell but technically only refers to its largest bell. The bell, cast in Whitechapel on 10 April 1858, was first rung in the Great Westminster Clock on 11 July 1859.
Mike McCann, who carries the title of Keeper of the Great Clock, said: "After 150 years, Big Ben still holds a special place in the hearts of Londoners and the world as a magnificent example of engineering and building genius."
Oooops. That scary post was by me.

To mark the anniversary, Little Ben, a 30ft replica of the clock tower near Victoria station, has been given its own equally loud bongs to chime today every hour between 7am and 7pm.
A piece of music based on the Oranges and Lemons nursery rhyme has been recorded for the anniversary using chimes from 200 bells from the 17 London churches named in the full version of the rhyme.
You can also download the clock's famous chimes and strikes from Big Ben's official website, which has a podcast tour of the tower.
"A band of 22 New Democrat and Blue Dog lawmakers say they want their fair share of the lobbying loot going 'round DC, or else they will support a “robust” government-run health plan, boosting chances of moving healthcare reform with a public insurance plan through the House."
Call me cynical...

A piece of music based on the Oranges and Lemons nursery rhyme has been recorded to mark the 150th anniversary of Big Ben.
It uses 200 bells from the 17 London churches named in the full version of the rhyme.
In many cases it was the first time the bells had been rung since World War II.
For the composition, all the bells were recorded individually before combining them in a studio.
A choir of 60, gathered from the areas of London mentioned in the song, then added a vocal accompaniment.
To mark the anniversary, Little Ben, a 30ft replica of the clock tower near Victoria station, has been given its own equally loud bongs to chime today every hour between 7am and 7pm.
Keeping time, time, time
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the throbbing of the bells -
Of the bells, bells, bells: -
To the sobbing of the bells: -
Keeping time, time, time,
As he knells, knells, knells,
In a happy Runic rhyme,
To the rolling of the bells -
Of the bells, bells, bells -
To the tolling of the bells -
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells, -
To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.
