The American State Department released its yearly Country Reports on Terrorism. The National Counterterrorism Center reported more than fourteen thousand attacks around the world last year.
The number was about the same as the year before. But deaths increased almost nine percent, to more than twenty-two thousand last year.
The report said well over fifty percent of those killed or injured were Muslims, and most were victims of attacks in Iraq.
In Iraq, the number of attacks fell but the number of people killed, injured or kidnapped increased. In Afghanistan, both numbers were higher.

Sometimes something good can come from those frustrating waits for a Muni bus. Just ask Christina Wu and Chris Little.
They got to know each other four years ago waiting for and riding the 31AX-Balboa express bus to their jobs in downtown San Francisco. Today, they will be getting married in a Muni-themed ceremony.
The ring-bearer will present the wedding bands to the bride and groom on a miniature toy bus instead of a traditional satin pillow, and the tables at the reception will be numbered based on Municipal Railway bus lines. Invitations to the ceremony asked guests to get on board, and told of the couple being committed to the last stop. A laminated route map - a wedding gift from Muni - will be on display for decoration.
I went to Guam many years ago in an ill-fated attempt to rekindle romance w/my high school boyfriend (he was in the A.F). It didn't work out thankfully as he is now a wingnut.

1.5 lbs ground beef
1 large sweet onion
green peppers and (if desired) hot peppers - up to you here as to quantity and heat
salt, pepper, Franks Hot Sauce, white pepper, French's Chili-O mix
quart of tomatoes, sixteen ounces of tomato juice
cook beef, peppers, and onion. Add spices and tomatoes. Cook until desired "doneness" and "thickness"

Via CNN.com:
The vast majority of Americans think things are going badly in the country, according to a new poll.
art.foreclosure.jpg
New poll results show that voters think the Democratic candidates have a better handle on economic issues.
Seven in 10 people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say things are going badly, with only 30 percent saying things are going well.
"It's been 16 years since the public gave the country's condition such a bad rating: January 1992, to be precise, in the last year in office of the last president named Bush," CNN pollster Keating Holland said.
"Seventy percent is a lot worse than two years ago, when 48 percent thought times were bad and the Republicans lost control of Congress," CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider added.

From the Los Angeles Times:
Suze Rotolo's revealing look at young Bob Dylan
The book by the singer-songwriter's former girlfriend, 'A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties,' ends years of silence.
By Josh Getlin
Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
May 2, 2008
NEW YORK -- It was one of the most iconic record album covers ever released, and Suze Rotolo was part of it: On a snowy day in 1963, she snuggled with Bob Dylan as the two walked down a Greenwich Village street. "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" went on to become one of his best-known records, but the long-haired girl on his arm was always a mystery.
Now, Rotolo has broken years of silence to tell the story of what it was like to fall in love with Bob Dylan at 17, to introduce him to civil rights politics and modern poetry, and to finally break up with him when the pressures of his stardom became too great. Her new book, "A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties," offers a revealing glimpse of the young artist, whom she calls with understatement "an elephant in the room of my life."
Met Rotolo at a dinner party in the early 80s. We were told under no circumstances were we to mention Bob or ask questions about the part of her life.
I thought she was cool, for what it's worth....

I do not believe that people are tired of the war coverage - there isn't any. I believe that the media cannot (or will not sacrifice its reporters and resources) to cover the war so it is not being covered.
The other day I followed a link from I Casualties to a Mt Airy, NC newspaper. I read the story in the newspaper about one of their young National Guardsman being killed by an IED in Iraq. The story was heartbreaking. The kid was just a kid - nice boy. Volunteered at the children's home. Played little league baseball. All of the little pithy things that make us Americans.
And while the "National Media" is not covering the war, the Mt Airy Newspaper is, as is the Muskegon Chronicle and the Grand Haven Tribune and the rest. They cannot hide the dead from the people who loved them.
That is why seven out of ten people think that this country is going in the wrong direction. The media loves this world, everyone else thinks they are full of shit.

FWIW, The last time I made "chili", it went something like this:
Cut up beef into ~1-1.5" cubes. Fry in peanut oil until browned thoroughly on all sides, set aside meat and pour off all but ~5 TBSP oil. Mince onions finely in food processor and sautee gently in oil from meat until starting to caramelize, ~25 minutes. Deglaze pan with chicken stock and water. Set aside. Stem and seed all all dry chiles, then toast them on a hot dry cast-iron skillet, pushing them down with a spatula until thoroughly blistered. Throw them in the pot with the onions, stock, and meat. Start cooking at a low simmer. While this is going, roast all of the fresh chiles and tomatoes on the grill, until kins are blackened but not charred. Seal them all together in a big tuppy for about 20 minutes to soften through and sweat off skins. Then peel skins, chop coarsely, and throw into the pot, about 30 minutes after meat has started cooking. Roast garlic separately until tender, peel/squeeze out cloves, and set aside. After ~45 minutes total cooking, fish dried chilis out of pot and put them thru a food mill with the garlic to puree and remove skins/seeds. Add the chile pulp back to the pot unti desired strength/thickness is reached. At ~ 1 hr. cooking time, check meat for the first time. Different cuts requore different cooking lengths. Continue simmering until meat is almost fork-tender, then add salt and spices ~10 minutes before the end. Serve with rice, beans, hominy, tortillas.

I should also hastento add that I do not purport t be any kind of authority on what "chili" means in the specific parlance of New Mexico. But I did eat something very much like what I described for the first time when I first visited that state, and it was a culinary epiphany for me.

from the guam wikipedia entry:
A few Japanese soldiers held out in the jungle. On December 8, 1945, three U.S. Marines were ambushed and killed. On January 24, 1972, Sergeant Shoichi Yokoi was discovered by hunters. He had lived alone in a cave for 27 years.
On January 24, 2020, Doug Feith was discovered living in a tunnel underneath the vice president's residence. He was busy cutting up a leg bone of Donald Rumsfeld and explaining how it would work its way into his chili recipe.

BTW: "Stem and seed all all dry chiles, then toast them on a hot dry
cast-iron skillet, pushing them down with a spatula until thoroughly
blistered."
Don't do this. If the chiles are dried, there's nothing to blister. All you'll do is end up with burnt bits of fiber. If the chiles are fresh, put them under a hot broiler, close the oven door, watch them turn black, turn them over, watch them turn black. Remove to a metal or pottery bowl, cover with towel. Let them steam for awhile. Then, under running water, peel off the skins and remove the seeds. Voila.

from www.cnn.com:
BERLIN, Germany (AP) -- Philipp Freiherr von Böselager, believed to be the last surviving member of the inner circle of plotters who attempted to kill Adolf Hitler in 1944 with a briefcase bomb, has died. He was 90.
Philipp Freiherr von Boeselager, pictured in 2004, provided explosives for a 1944 bid to kill Adolf Hitler.
The German military said in a statement Friday that the former army major died Thursday night. It did not give a cause of death.
Von Boeselager was part of a group of officers who tried to kill Hitler on July 20, 1944, supplying explosives for the operation led by Col. Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg.

Back in the 80's she was not, and thus the edict that no one was to mention "that guy" in her presence.

Von Boeselager, who lived in Altenahr, near Bonn, was first recruited by von Stauffenberg co-conspirator Maj. Gen. Henning von Tresckow in 1942, he told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in an interview three weeks ago that was published Friday.
He said he knew that Jews were being systematically killed and that Germany was waging a war of annihilation along the Eastern Front with Russia and that he never considered declining taking part in the plot.
By 1942, he said that "It was no longer about saving the country, but about stopping the crimes," the newspaper quoted him as saying.

"Uncle Tom" Obama
by Kaos237
Tue Apr 29, 2008 at 12:29:50 PM PDT
I have been a huge supporter of Barack. He is the guy I've been behind for quite awhile now. Check my older diaries if you wonder about that. And while I've been steeling myself for a Barack loss in November, because I think the Repug machine is too good for him to beat, I had resigned myself to still working hard for him and for the Progressive cause!
But today something changed for me...
Today, the scales fell from my eyes and I saw Barack Obama for what he truly is: a weak man and a standard politician. I really never thought I would say this...
But I am disgusted with him!

Seriously, It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The people are very friendly. Other than the storm over the Pacific after we left and the kissing of the ground when we landed it was awesome.

Preachers in 25 black churches in Indy are skipping services Sunday in exchange for rallies that will lead their followers to early voting stations in marches to action. This is very well planned and orchestrated. The local news is following this and the FEC, sans a functioning body can't say anything to the IRS about the mix of NP status and politicing.
I don't understand this: with or without a "functioning body" the IRS can see that this completely violates non-profit status, promoting a political agenda.

Mimi reminds me of a class mate in HS. He was an instigator, always mouthing off. He was also on the Football team and when the team had enough, they collectively tossed him in the dumpster outside of the locker rooms on a fairly regular basis. In one instance, he came back up too fast and got clobbered by the lid as it was coming down. No one noticed and he was in there for a bit before anyone went looking. When he returned to school after recovering from a concussion, he went right back to his old ways. We all urged the team to slam the lid harder the next time.
