The headaches are usually due to iodine. Which is used in normal table salt.
Iodine is added to table salt to make it more like sea salt (health reasons).
Didn't Dear Leader once claim to be reading the History of Salt?
first thing he'd picked up since My Pet Goat...
the salt book was written by the same guy that wrote "cod"

Right now, my hotel is for Friday to Sunday, but I'm thinking that I may need to extend it to Thursday. Still awaiting Mrs. David's choice as to whether she will be able to go to Philly or not.
In any case, if you are there Thursday, and I can make it, we will have to have a "sipping" session.

A McCain victory in SC has to be good news for Giuliani because the narrative becomes "Stop McCain!" and Rudy's best poised to do that - not just because his numbers in Florida haven't yet collapsed to the same undetectable levels as they have everywhere else, but because Huck and Mitt and Fred will be fairly proven failures at the "Stop McCain" game. So, if stopping him's your priority, then Rudy's the one-stop shop after everyone's stopped shopping around. He'll be the last ABM (Anyone-But-McCain) in with a shot.
So says Lieberman hero Mark Steyn.
Would you believe I am listening to IN SEARCH OF THE LOST CHORD by the band that must not be named?
Wow, far out. (Actually, their music is not dreadful. And they are kind of kings of the concept album - something that has been sort of lost of late)

Here are my salt experiences. First this alien tried to suck the salt of of me.
Wait that that's in the future.
I bake and cook with kosher salt.
When I make bread I use french sea salt because the book Cookwise and some of the bread baking books I read they talk about how the trace minerals in the salt make a difference to the flavor and crumb of the bread. It's part of a complex balance.
I use smoked salt sometimes in soups and on steaks that I grill.

Here's some salt I want to try:
Fleur de Sel
Other Names: Flower of Salt, Flor De Sal (Portuguese)
Fleur de Sel (flower of salt) is the premier condiment salt. This artisan sea salt is comprised of "young" crystals that form naturally on the surface of salt evaporation ponds. They are hand harvested under specific weather conditions by traditional "Paludiers" (salt farmers). True Fleur de Sel comes from the Guérande region of France. Like fine wine regions, different areas within Guérande produce salts with their own unique flavors and aroma profiles. Uses: Ideal for salads, cooked fresh vegetables and grilled meats.
Perfect for the latte-swilling liberal elitist!
The headaches are usually due to iodine. Which is used in normal table salt.
Ive been using salt without iodine and my headaches vanished.Now if only I could get rid of this 6 lb neck goiter.

Iraqi authorities said at least 36 people were reported killed in Basra, Iraq’s second largest city, and at least 32 in Nasiriyah, including Iraqi security forces, civilians and gunmen. At least 10 people were reported slain in Nasiriyah Friday.
There was also “a deadly bombing in northern Iraq.” The AP describes the violence of the past two days as part of “a series of recent high-profile attacks” that are “eroding the security gains of the previous six months.”

So here's one take on iodine:
'Symptoms of Iodine or Thyroid Deficiency
Do you have any of these symptoms? Brittle nails, cold hands and feet, cold intolerance, depression, difficulty swallowing, dry skin, dry hair or hair loss, fatigue, high cholesterol, hoarseness, infertility, lethargy, menstrual irregularities, early menopause, poor memory or concentration, slower heartbeat, throat pain, or weight gain. Or more serious diseases: thyroid dysfunction, fibrocystic breast disease, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, or prostate cancer? Does your child have any of these symptoms? Developmental delays (ADD, PDD, LD), mental retardation, or Down�s Syndrome. If so, iodine deficiency or hypothyroid could be the cause.'

In SF you just leave your sponge out. That is how the first sourdough were made, with wild yeast. I have to say that my sough dough attempts were just okay. One great batch then I couldn't keep the starter going. It also seemed wasteful since you have to feed it and throw away the excess.

I'd like to build a fence around him and his fellow haters:
"Republican Duncan Hunter, a conservative California congressman, said on Saturday he would end his long-shot presidential bid after he failed to make any headway in a chaotic White House race.
Hunter, who had backed a border fence and a crackdown on illegal immigration as well as a strong military, said the race had been worthwhile despite finishing far out of the running in all of the early contests, including South Carolina and Nevada on Saturday.
"The failure of our campaign to gain traction is mine and mine alone," Hunter said in a statement. "But we have driven the issues of national security, the border fence, the emergence of China and the need to reverse bad trade policy."
He said he would return to Congress and work on immigration policy.
"Over the next year in Congress I will do everything in my power to get that fence built," he said."

You know what is the first thing a strong military would require? Pullout of Iraq followed by total reconsideration of organization, setup of a true Staff like every other siginficant military has (this is what prompted the famous German quote, shrined on the wall of every admin office, that there is no order to the American military) and a nice brutal night of long knives for arms contractors who have come to see the American military as an ATM and who enjoy totally inappropriate influence.

"Moore, 43, a Chicago businessman, now presents himself as a former U.S. Army Intelligence officer and business "visionary" who revolutionized the private security market but an Army spokesman said Moore was never an officer and never had intelligence training. Moore, fired by Triple Canopy in 2004, has launched a new private security firm called Sovereign Deed. He has parlayed his Triple Canopy success into political influence, persuading Republican and Democratic state officials to rewrite state law so that Sovereign Deed can receive $10 million in tax abatements and other incentives to establish a "national response center" for its private disaster relief business in northern Michigan"

"Moore's brushes with law enforcement also escape detection. He was convicted of three counts of criminal fraud in Australia in 1992 and served time in prison, according to court records there. An appeals court later reversed Moore's conviction. But in a related criminal trial, Moore acknowledged participating in an "illegal enterprise" to smuggle cars from Chicago to Melbourne and admitted fabricating documents as part of the operation."

I got the face mask with oxygen and the communicator.
We took off went suborbital then came down in LA were refueled to go up again. The refueling spot? Disneyland.
(a part that most people don't see, it was "back stage" and they had a massive sand scuplture of Mickey that was white on white.

The Nevada Democratic Party has spoken -- per MSNBC -- and guess what?
The Nation and the AP right! Obama DID get the most delegates:
But hold on, folks. The Nevada Democratic Party just issued this clarification (emphasis is ours): "No national convention delegates were awarded. That said, if the delegate preferences remain unchanged between now and April 2008, the calculations of national convention delegates being circulated by the Associated Press are correct. We look forward to our county and state conventions where we will choose the delegates for the nominee that Nevadans support."
What does this mean? It looks like the Obama camp's math (as well as the AP's and NBC's) is correct.

Ok. Now that Edwards has done the fade in Nevada its obvious he's not going to make it. So what am I left with?
I've got a candidate who loves her some Lieberman and I've got another candidate who loves him some Reagan. Great. Will someone please show me a real damn Democrat in this group? Having been a Democrat all my life there will never be a circumstance where I will ever vote for a Republican. So I'll vote for the Dem nominee in the general. But damn if I can understand how the hell rank and file Democrats can vote for them some luke warm Democrats who never met a GOP talking point and an issue frame they didn't like.

RedState sticks a fork in Fred:
http://redstate.com/stories/
elec...g_but_a_whimper
Not with a bang, but a whimper
So long, Fred; we hardly even knew ye.
Well, that's not entirely accurate -- we knew you far better than we've known many a politician who's thrown his hat in the Presidential ring in years past (or even this year; see "Hunter, Duncan" or "Gravel, Mike" for examples).
We knew you well enough that, when it seemed that the Republican field needed a White Knight to ride in on a shiny steed and save it (and us) from itself, we didn't call on Newt Gingrich or Jeb Bush; we called on you.
...
What if you had entered the race in the spring or early summer, when your popularity and support were at their highest? What if you had picked a competent campaign staff at the beginning of the race -- and stuck with it throughout? What if you had really taken ownership of that campaign, and executed it more effectively? What if you had done what we were all dying to see after seven years of President Bush and the "new tone," and refused to let the media define you?
What if you had acted like you actually wanted the job?
So, Fred Dalton Thompson, as you ride slowly and quietly off into the sunset, not a hollow man but -- most unfortunately -- the owner of one of the most hollow campaigns that I can recall, the words of T.S. Eliot come to mind:
That is bullshit.
If Edwards didn't have enough folks in the caucus he got nothing..
And he had a hell of a lot more than that.
i don't get russ feingold slamming edwards for running against his own senate voting record. yes, edwards made several bad votes and now has different positions but why is that bad? isn't it good to improve? and then feingold says he can't decide if he supports hrc or obama. oy. i am about ready to give up on the national D party.
http://www.commondreams.org/arch...008/01/18/6456/
Caucusing just fucking sucks.
Gimme a primary.
...if the delegate preferences remain unchanged between now and April 2008, the calculations of national convention delegates being circulated by the Associated Press are correct.
But they won't remain unchanged.
Via D-Day at Digby's:
I just spoke with Jill Derby, the head of the Nevada State Democratic Party. Regarding the Obama claim that he'll actually get more delegates out of this, essentially that's spin. Derby said that the caucuses are an "expression of the support of Nevadans today." Around 11,000 delegates were elected today. That will be winnowed down at county conventions and eventually at the state convention in May to the 25 that will go to Denver for the DNC. In 2004, Kerry didn't win every delegate on Election Day, but most of the delegates that eventually went to the DNC were his. Once there's a presumptive nominee, the delegate numbers are subject to change. It's non-binding.
i don't get russ feingold slamming edwards for running against his own senate voting record.
As bad as it sounds, Feingold isn't everything we all thought he was.

I just read a really fun SF story called
"The accidental Time Machine" by Joe Haldeman. I'm a sucker for time travel books. This one started great and was a really quick read. My favorite part is the whole "person plucked out of time, how do you survive?" The gimmick in this book is the time machine he accidental creates only jumps forward in time in leaps that get longer and longer.
I read it straight through in a few hours. It was only 236 pages.
Yeah,
the flip flop blowout was four years ago courtesy of the Swift boat liars.

I have been actively trying to focus my thinking on positive things.
I came across two great book the other day that really struck me.
I wonder if anyone hear have read them.
The Paranoia Switch: How Terror Rewires Our Brains and Reshapes Our Behavior--and How We Can Reclaim Our Courage and The Myth of Sanity: Divided Consciousness and the Promise of Awareness
The Myth of Sanity: Divided Consciousness and the Promise of Awareness by Martha Stout
both by Martha Stout.
I REALLY found the Paranoia Switch compelling. I believe that the talk radio hosts and politicians with their fear talk after 9/11 have keep the anxiety level going to the point where it reconfigures your brain patterns, Stout basically confirms my premise.
I think I might call her and do an interview after I finish the book.
I'm also reading Athenae's book "It doesn't End with Us. The Story of the Daily Cardinal" it's about the heart of journalism as told from the point of view of a college news paper.
A fine idea. Now where's that rum?
Has Grandpa Fred officially conceded? Or will he take a nap, watch Matlock, fall asleep again and bow out on Tuesday?

When Bush ran the first time, they had the discipline to all get behind "the" candidate, whether they liked him or not. Now, they're all over the board. It's, like so much else, the boyking's fault.

A friend was talking the other day about how she enjoys watching the messaging in politics and the back and forth. I said that I found it painful to watch because there is so much platitude talking. She is a old time republican so to her it is still a game. I feel like the consequences are just to important for tennis match games with the economy, our aggressive military posture and our freedom.
I like BOTH inspirational stuff AND wonk stuff. I also like it when someone articulates a philosophy. I would enjoy it if someone would attack the failed philosophies of the right more often. But of course when they do it gives the right wing noise machine their talking points for the next 23 years.

and that 'private disaster relief' JR mentioned upthread will be totally fricken useless in action (except for sucking the federal tit)

You know, I think a lot about how might we make it so that the route to the think tank isn't the easy profitable step.
If the people DO get subpoenaed and hearings and they DO become known for their law breaking I'd like that to make them unemployable.
Mean on my part? Maybe. But what is the incentive to do the right thing if you get away with it and then get a better cushy job afterward.
I'm thinking about what we can do to make the think tank positions and the think tanks in general cough up some blood. Especially since they have hired so many with blood on their hands.
Prehaps like the Southern Poverty Law center we can figure out a way to make hiring the Rumsfeld's and Douglas Feith's something that doesn't help the think tank but hurts it.

That bint is saying women shouldn't DO that. We should just stay and take it.
So here's a good story about entrepreneurial medicine:
The treatment is called high-intensity focused ultrasound, or HIFU (pronounced HIGH-foo). And instead of using surgery or radiation, it attacks the cancerous tissue by heating the prostate to temperatures near boiling...
Tropical beaches aside, there is a reason that hundreds of American men have traveled out of the country to receive HIFU. It is not approved in the United States. And its growing popularity has some cancer experts voicing caution. They argue that there is not yet enough evidence that the treatment stops cancer over the long run and they say the side effects are not as minimal as described by US HIFU, the company sponsoring the offshore treatment weekends.
The company is attracting attention for its aggressive recruitment of American doctors who will go through training and perform the treatments. The company charges patients $25,000 to $30,000, a fee that is usually not reimbursed by insurance. Of that, the company pays the doctors $5,000 to $7,500 — several times what physicians earn for conventional prostate cancer procedures in the United States.
Critics worry that financial motives might influence medical decisions.

I have long believed that if a Dem would start telling these detested antidemocratic warmongers to go straight to hell, they would be the uncontested frontrunner.
Critics worry that financial motives might influence medical decisions.

Its like corporate media newsbots expressing surprise this week that medical studies with negative outcomes take longer to become public than those with positive outcomes.
Terry C, she shames our sex.
Hell, even Mlle's ex admitted he was totally wrong to treat her the way he did, both emotionally and physically. He's being seen by a psychologist at this point (comes to the rehab facility he's at).
And this bint thinks it's a woman's fault?
Please, let me do some serious bitchslapping.
That bint is saying women shouldn't DO that. We should just stay and take it.

JeffCo:
I don't think Hillary is forgiving as Bill was.
I think there would be some BIG payback....and I'd enjoy seeing that.
Fred Thompson must have praised Russia for "sacrificing more blood for the freedom of other countries than the rest of the whole world combined."
Susan Orr is, of course, a Republican appointee. She should be much more widely appreciated for who she is. I'd love to see her, and Keroack, and Hager, hung around the GOP's neck like albatrosses.
Let them work at menial jobs; let them see how "the other half" has to live.
Terry C - Edwards 2008
------
You know I have a LOTS of ideas how to mess with the think tanks and the people they employee.
The student's protesting about the Hoover Institute are suing old fashion tools and methods.
I'd use the stuff from Center for Media and Democracy and target some especially egregious fellows and do to them what they do to decent intellectuals. And the methods would be designed not just to discredit them but to bring up real experts.
Not all experts are created equal. A well trained media savvy think tanker on the right will beat out the journalist who is supposed to represent the "middle and the left" (but who shouldn't be there representing either) the occasional left wing professor who they bring off of some campus to give his non-TV ready sound bites.
I may catch up to the last of this thread, it's been fun to loaf around and read the bread pun comments.
Old Man, he was very seriously injured in a motorcycle accident last month. I think it was an eye opener for him.
Mlle visits, and they talk a lot. Much of it centers around being good parents to Maddy, and how they're going to get through the next 18 years with her best interests at heart.
Getting back together? No. The divorce is proceeding and will be final on March 15.
If Susan Orr is so fond of "traditional values", WHY does she have a career?
Why isn't she home where she belongs?
It's the Phyllis Schlafly crap...that old bitch flew all over the country telling other women that their place is in the home.
yeah, that *would* be fun...
yeah it would. Not to mention the wingnut head explodeage.
However I bet Rush Fucking Limpbaugh is fervently hoping for a Hillary Presidency, it should mean an extra couple of hundren million for him to blow on oxy and little Dominican boys.
But fuck him and his drooling followers.
I think there would be some BIG payback....and I'd enjoy seeing that.
If she runs them over like a Chevy van, that's alright with me.

Old Man From Scene 24: were you at Mount Vernon a while back or are my wires crossed?
And funniest of all, Schafley's son is gay. She ran all over the country telling women to stay home and be good christian women, while her own family has the same problems and issues everyone else does.
She and Susan Orr are huge embarrassments as women.

Schlafly always bragged about "raising six kids".
Never mentioned that she was married to a fairly well to do attorney and her kids were brought up by nannies and nurses while she gallivanted around telling other women we shouldn't have careers.
Wow, Sallyh, I didn't know about his accident. It's a shame things like that are needed to get a person's full attention. Is he expected to recover fully?
And that divorce had better still be happening.
Ah, yes, the Fabulous Fifties. Nuclear testing in the atmosphere. Jim Crow; stay-at-home moms having cocktail parties. Joe McCarthy. Fallout shelters. TV Westerns. Smoking and drinking. Mastectomies and young men dropping dead of heart attacks. The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit, taking the bar car home to Darien.
Good times.
Terry, Schlafly was herself an attorney, and objected to educating women.
What balls.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's foreign ministry, responding to pressure from close allies, said on Saturday it would remove the United States and Israel from a watch list of countries where prisoners risk being tortured.
Both nations expressed unhappiness after it emerged they had been listed in a document that formed part of a training course manual on torture awareness given to Canadian diplomats.
Whimpada
Then, there was the interview she gave in the early 1980s where she said "virtuous" women never get sexually harrassed.
Right, Phyllis, and they never get raped, either, right?
sallyh: sorry to hear about the accident. Odd how things work somehow. You try to sell a plot like that for a novel, you'd be accused of being shamelessly manipulative...
Darien and Greenwich produce a lot of radicals, several friends in fact.
What did you think of the place?
It was interesting. It was raining that day and we were headed for National Airport so I didn't see much of the grounds (and didn't care for lining up in the rain for 15 minutes) but it was worth seeing.
You are basically in this enormous line of people shuffling thru it with people in each area repeating an informative spiel about what you're seeing. It would be better to stroll thru at your own pace.
I'd like to go back and see more of the grounds when the weather is a bit better.
TOW, divorce will be final in March. It's still moving forward.
If they can get along and do well for their child, all the better. I'm not seeing anything beyond that.

Yuck.
ProfWombat, he was wearing a good helmet and armored jacket, so no head, spinal or neck injuries. However, he's got a broken knee, two broken ankles, 2 displaced elbows, one shattered wrist, a shattered clavicle, numerous broken ribs, and a broken pelvis.
Mlle said he looked like ground chuck after the accident.

It was raining hard in 'Frisco I needed one more fare to make my night
What a weird life for a guy. Married to a women with a degree who travels the country telling other women to stay home and raise kids. How do they reconcile the discrepancy in their own marriages?
Maybe having maids to clean the house and nannies to raise the kids and getting laid every once in a while when their wife is actually home is enough for them. *shudder*
Then again, those repugs do seem to have rather active sex lives without their spouses, don't they?
ellroon, the old woman walked off without a scratch. Seriously. And had no clue that she did anything wrong.

Okay, I did my good deed for the month of January and went over to LGFootballs to see what's up with the wingnuts. They are not happy about McCain because of his "amnesty" for illegal aliens and the "unconstitutional" McCain-Feingold Act. One poster will stay home if Rudy is the nominee.
Though there is a posting on McCain's win there's nothing posted on Hillary's. Prob just as well as if they had ugly comments about her I'd probably get angry and never get to sleep tonight. She's not my first choice but I'm sick of all the misogynists bashing her.
Even freakier, his tox screen was clean.

I have no answer. But maybe this scary crash will teach your soon to be x SIL something about the fragility and preciousness of life and how one should behave to loved ones.
She's not my first choice but I'm sick of all the misogynists bashing her.
TEBB
Yes.
Sallyh, your SIL is 37? I had the impression both your daughter and he were quite young, like 20. Maybe he just acted immature.
I think having either Clinton or Obama as the dem nominee gives a BIG advantage to the republicans and the MSM to bash. I think swiftboating won't even be needed.
They are not happy about McCain because of his "amnesty" for illegal aliens and the "unconstitutional" McCain-Feingold Act.
Good. McCain may be their best bet in the general, but all of their candidates will damage their coalition from hell. The Bush legacy will be lasting damage to the GOP.
She's not my first choice but I'm sick of all the misogynists bashing her.
Yes. And I think that will actually act in her favor if she is the nominee.
Every once in awhile, MY Ex calls my son on his cell phone. Most of the time, Steve won't even pick up; he just declines the call.
The story I've been hearing of late is that he's in terrible pain and has to go to Pain Management sessions.
Supposedly, a couple of the vertebra in his neck are compressed. I say "supposedly" because he lies SO much and is such a hypochondriac, that I don't believe half of what he says. I wouldn't be surprised if he was telling my son this little tale of woe for sympathy. He always did believe that the world should revolve around him.
How would HE hurt his neck/back? Certainly not from any hard work. He's on partial disability now and he has a thousand different excuses for missing work (some things never change) - he's short of breath (being 50-75 lbs. overweight and smoking like a chimney WILL do that), he's in pain, etc. etc. etc. He's living in a one room apartment that he's behind in his rent on (the rent's gone from $625 to $900-something since 2003 when he moved in there).
Anyway, he supposedly was in the hospital a couple of weeks back - having pins put in his neck. If that doesn't work, he'll have to have surgery that has a "30-50% chance" of leaving him paralyzed.
Hey, I don't wish for that to happen -- if you wish bad things like that on someone it has a way of coming back on you -- but do I feel bad about his problems?
No, I can't. He caused me and my kids SO much pain that I feel that these problems (if they're not BS or his imagination) are everything he did to us back in 1998 and 1999 ago coming back on him.
What goes around comes around. Yeah, it does.
Thanks for letting me vent.
That's a nasty set of injuries. He'll feel those ankles all his life.
ellroon
We can hope that they will learn the RIGHT lesson.
That is one of the things that drives me nuts is that sometimes when life comes down and tries to teach people OBVIOUS lessons like, "Don't break the law and lie to the American people" they get the message, "Don't get caught. Classify everything, fill up the departments that might catch you will cronies who are loyal to you and not the law, treat the press like dirt and never write down or record any evidence."
TOW, just turned 38 right after New Year's.
And yeah, I think this scared the living hell out of him.
As he pointed out, you start getting a different perspective when you can't even handle your own bodily functions.
First thing he said to Mlle was, you were right, I shouldn't have bought the motorcycle.
I have a feeling that this country will be a) under full military lockdown and b) in the midst of the most unimaginable economic collapse well before next November.
TOW, my daughter is young. 22.
I think back on being 22--no way could I have dealt with this.
I don't believe everything happens for a reason since I don't believe in god. However, I think how we deal with inevitable setbacks and sometimes tragedies is critical to good mental/emotional health.
Setbacks overwhelmed me today until I made myself make a mental list of people (including children) who love me dearly.
She's not my first choice but I'm sick of all the misogynists bashing her.
Yes. And I think that will actually act in her favor if she is the nominee.
The Old Man From Scene 24
I think it already is working in her favor. It has pissed off a LOT of women.
My daughter doesn't like her and doesn't understand why I jump to her defense when the misogyny starts.
"Because I have been a feminist ever since I can remember and I am sick of this bullshit."
Where does Ted kennedy, who in essence chose the campaign director for Kerry's horrid effort, get any right to tell Clinton about campaiging for his wife?
Look Ted, we know you want to boost Obama, Kerry giving him an endorsement was proof of who your circle of influence backs.
None of the Democratic President lived long enough to be spokesmen for thew party.
Carter really isn't considered a great speaker for campaigns, but he's an amzing NGO and issues voice now.
That's quite a reach to ask Clinton to shut up. Okay then, how about not appearing at the convention to endorse whoever runs if Hillary isn't on the ticket?
None of the other speakers could account for the same ability threshold that Bill Clinton brings.
Time for me to get bed.
Night all.

He nearly broke down.
I have all the respect in the world for Senator Kennedy but he is wrong on this issue.
Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere
Perhaps THIS is his wake-up call.
Wow, Sallyh good for you. A lot of people can't understand the level of pain they have caused others until they suffer some themselves. Its a shame.

Well... they certainly took us for a ride for seven long years. The rest of the world has been wondering how so many of us couldn't see what was happening right in front of our eyes. We need trials. We need justice. So when Pelosi said that impeachment is off the table, I felt like it was Ford pardoning Nixon all over again. We need to see that these criminals learn their lesson.
Or, if they refuse to learn their lesson, make it really clear to the future little neocons that breaking the law sucks.

The scales are not the same as they were when I was a kid. It always seemed like retirees were passing away in the mid 60s to 70s. Now, 80+ is more common to me. And 50 and 60 somethings look a lot younger.

Terry C - Edwards 2008
Much to my chagrin.
Prominent Democrats are upset with the aggressive role that Bill Clinton is playing in the 2008 campaign, a role they believe is inappropriate for a former president and the titular head of the Democratic Party. In recent weeks, Sen. Edward Kennedy and Rep. Rahm Emanuel, both currently neutral in the Democratic contest, have told their old friend heatedly on the phone that he needs to change his tone and stop attacking Sen. Barack Obama, according to two sources familiar with the conversations who asked for anonymity because of their sensitive nature. Clinton, Kennedy and Emanuel all declined to comment.

Much to my chagrin.

I've always thought that he and Weinberger should have died about 30 years before they did.
Would have saved the country a lot of heartache.

My grandmother lived to 96 - in pretty good health up 'til the end.
My grandfather checked out at 89 - also in good health until the last couple of months.
No major diseases - they just wore out. Not an entirely unpleasant way to go, I guess...

"Has anyone else slept that long, without being sick with mono or sleeping sickness?"
I do things like that from time to time. Long but fast weeks, late nights and usually a Friday or Saturday night that heads towards dawn. Then I crash until the evening. Which I hate because then I have to sync up for the next couple of days to a normal pattern.

The "wearing out" part was pretty quick in both cases. My grandfather was quite active until the last few weeks, when he went into the hospital and didn't come out. My grandmother continued to live on her own (she had a woman that came in several times a week to clean and run errands) until the last six months, when she moved into an assisted-living place. When she finally went, it was pretty quick.
They - and we - were pretty lucky, considering.
Good night, friends.

And it sounds like you come from good stock.
A couple of days ago, one of the anti-Hitlery Kossacks was foaming at the mouth in a diary over the "selling out" to the Clintoris by Susan Hu and Larry Johnson.
Hu is an old, old Kossack who has done a shitload of work at Kosopedia, and Johnson, of course, is the former CIA colleague of Valerie Plame. They are now "unmutual."
Talk about your scorched earth policy. What the fuck is this so-called "reality-based" "community" going to do after the primaries? I've never been a big Orange Satan fan, but I'm frankly shocked at the way they are so quickly melting down into complete irrelevance.

Hey, if you wanna piss off the Kossacks, recommend this diary.
No matter how many people recommend it, though, it'll never crack the top tier - I guarantee it!
I was at home, watching TV like nearly everybody else. Unlike nearly everybody else, however, I had no moment of great patriotic awakening or a burning desire to hang flags from every porch and car-radio antenna I saw. The attacks on the World Trade Center were the chickens coming home to roost after decades of Republican interference, neglect and incompetence in American foreign policy. How long do we, as a country, think we can get away with bullying and brutalizing other countries, slaughtering their citizens for the good of American "interests" (read: corporate profits), and supporting sadistic dictators as long as they toe the American line?
We've already killed more Afghans than died in the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, and the people responsible for that attack are still nowhere to be found. Now, based only on the desire of our unelected "president" to avenge his daddy's mistakes in a previous administration (and, by coincidence, guarantee huge profits for his Cabinet, cronies and family members), we are about to embark on another "lovely little war" that all of our allies and most of our own citizens are dead set against. The lessons are these: As ye sow, so shall ye reap, and, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. God help us, every one.
Well said Big Bro.
Dave, the Kossaks are who we thought they were!(I'm one also).
That's funny, it's everyone else's fault Obama is an imploded sinkhole of ethics.
Don't point it out, a good retreat could get in the way of a fabulous surrender.
God help us, every one.

It started with slavery and the genocide of Native Americans, which is why I always laugh (ruefully) when the 9/11 folks talk about our "loss of innocence." We have not been "innocent" for over 300 years.

And over at Cliff Schecter's place, a great photo of Suzanne Pleshette.
Incandescent!
And here's your inspirational story of the day.
So, let me see if I have this right...the caucus-goers in Nevada elected delegates who presumably support the candidate of their choice. Most caucus-goers elected delegates who support Clinton, but Obama won more delegates. But the delegates could change their mind, or be downsized, or get amnesia and forget who the candidates are. The bottom line is that between now and the convention the actual delegate count out of Nevada should look exactly the same as it does right now, unless it totally changes in which case it will be different.
I'm getting an Excedrin #5. Did anything that happened yesterday actually mean anything?
Why go through the process of caucusing, which sounds excruciating to me, if the delegates you elect in the caucus are free to do whatever they want anyway?
Just woke up to the wonderful realization that there is only one year left of Bushco.
I think I'll have breakfast now.

Got those.
Really don't have a feel for the place yet, got here at midnight, it's like 9:49 am now. Rainy, but warm, in the 50's.
Barry, got a question re the 9/11 planes. How did they travel at 600mph so close to the ground without shaking apart? No, I'm not trying to be a nutter, just wondering about a youtube video I stumbled upon.
Well, they were well past any structural limit speeds to be sure Gilly.
I don't doubt they could get past 500 easily, and with a bit of dive/descent could push 600.
Wouldn't be any fun though.
But I kinda remember they were only pushing 500 or so.
Off to find foods!
Could you translate that into plain English for us non-engineering types? TIA
Well, I guess it's some consolation that Huckabee didn't win in the Land of Jim & Tammy.
The nearer the ground and sea level you are, the denser the atmosphere is, putting up more resistance to the aircraft, slowing it down without added thrust to compensate.
Terry McAuliffe claimed he had exactly the same experience in Las Vegas Bill Clinton did -- encountering a group of female Culinary Workers members saying their supervisors were using scheduling changes to prevent them from caucusing for Hillary. Two such similar complaints in different locations many hours apart after news stories of Clinton's claims were aired ? I don't buy it.
I'm rather neutral toward Hillary, but the Mafioso approach of her campaign heavies bums me out.
Just watched another vid that disputed the premise that the planes couldn't fly at that speed. At 500mph, that's only 21% above the top rated safety standard for the 767.
And there were crazies at the controls.
Ah, that satisfying *thunk* of the detergent compartment door in the dishwasher opening!
This says more than I care to imagine about the downward spiral of the US. I guess "The Wire" got it dead on about education. Kozol also. While Jonah blathers on about how liberal notions are fascist, we have this. As GWPDA sharply pointed out last week, to Jonah, Locke's social contract is fascist. Read it and weep.

Textbooks 45-50 years ago were pretty bad, and now kids don't even have those....

Not where I grew up. The public schools gave us new or fairly new texts every year in most subjects.Not a wealthy suburb (Dayton, Ohio). And iirc if you got a year-old copy of a text that was damaged you could request a new one. I still have a poetry anthology that introduced me to some wonderful verse.
morning, all.
Dunno why I'm wide awake, but having the most wonderful coffee to get ready makes me too happy to get up and have some.
On education, there is a WaPo editorial about how great it is that Ivy League colleges are using more of their endowments to subsidize educations of kids. Noice. My comment, the 2nd part of it;
"Getting our coming generations into higher education also needs to be addressed at the state level. Present policies of teaching to the test under No Child Left Behind is seriously hindering that step in the education process. Hopefully soon the push to ruin our educational system for the profit of cronies and family members of this occupied White House will be ended, and our nation's students can begin receiving adequate education."

Ah, the enjoyment of acquisitions, I am enjoying the new microwave, which I had to buy yesterday to replace my late lamented Kenmore microwave originally purchased in 1987. Needless to say, I got a Kenmore. And paid less for it than I did for the first one. okay, MLK sale clearance item. So new and shiny, bright object.
Thanks for Frank Rich, I'll go read it and be back.
Well, I had to play the hand I was dealt, and that meant the first 2 years of school in NC, which was fairly rigorous, if segregated -- and then being tossed like flotsam into Arizona public schools that were growing so quickly no budget or planning could keep up with them. A lot of the "public affairs" films we saw were arch-conservative propaganda provide by Eugene Pulliam (Dan Quayle's Grandpa) owner of the Arizona Republic.

Suzanne Pleshette gone! Her voice almost drove me straight!

Frank Rich says what I've been thinking, far better than I could, in Ronald Reagan Is Still Dead:
I actually don't think that is true. You speak your convictions. Frank Rich is still a Broadway critic. I can enjoy with his ephemeral chatter. But he is as willing to skin a progressive as a holdout from the CSA on how they purse their lips or make odd hooting noises. He has no depth, no substance and no compassion. He just likes writing barbed reviews. You don't do that.
Leibniz, let's agree to disagree. No one else in the M-whatever-M speaks so plainly about the way things are, to my mind.
Something surpassing awesome...
Beck has been getting the most soulful sounds out of axes for as long as I can remember!
Plantsman,
He was pretty nasty to the Clintons in the 1990s. He sounded like Newt GingRICH.
I laughed all day seeing Ron Paul ahead of several republiclowns in NV.
Mr.Murder | 01.20.08 - 4:55 am | #
That young girl freaks me out! There must be 40 years between her and Beck, but it doesn't matter when it comes to music!
F.Rich has a very good feel for the lost quality of the GoPerv candidates, they really show that there is an electorate to invent, and they haven't done it. At least KKKKarl had his slime. Seems like the slime all has trickled down into the sewers and no one is left. which is a good thing.
He was pretty nasty to the Clintons in the 1990s.
He was. And ignore their unsavory ways in this campaign, if you choose.
Jeff Beck's "hair wishes" (as Pantene has it) still seem to be coming true. Nicely preserved, he is.
Can't do videos on the dialup, but thks, Mr. Murder.
NC schools were pretty good, and I was fortunate in going to school in Hampton, VA in HS, it was home of the Mercury astronaut program, and there were wonderful teachers.

Well, I don't have the hots for either of the Clintons. But I still find Rich vapid. He's like an upper west side David Brooks. He's like Tom Friedman with a quarter hit of acid.
Interesting that Beck plays without a pick.
It doesn't and I am -- but I loved Ms. Pleshette's sultry ways and spicy sense of humor!

Not Fair! The Mustasche of Understanding is way more banal than Frank Rich.
The videos from that tour available on youtube are amazing.
I hate to say that we objectify the beatiful woman playing bass, but when Jeff Beck worships her on stage, it is a sign from the Gods that Tal Wilenfeld is of Valhalla.
Sara Lee playing bass with the B-52's on the "Cosmic Thing" Tour was pretty wonderful. Nice when a punk smiles.

Tina Weymouth. Nuff said.
The fact our DoJ and State Dep't fumbled the Madrid train cell's prosecution by detaining the cell leader this week is a major slap in the face to Europe.
Cheney is doing that as a way to get back at Spain for booting Aznar after those bombings, when he was down double digits in polls before that.
Then icing on the cake is Condi announcing she will promote her vice czar of the czar to the no.3 at State the same week Putin tells us not to recognize Kosovo.
We lost a chance to reconnect with the EU for the war on terra from a moral standpoint, NATO is in shambles from Afghanistan, Putin tells us no go in Europe and the closest guy we have to him is promoted.
That album title is driving me nuts! Not Beck-Ola, not Truth, those were earlier. That tune was from a CBS/Columbia album that was Beck's second wave or come-back sort of.
(fumes. Hates when he discovers previously unrealized stroke-ravaged sections of brain.)
Comments are off for the link, I'm at a loss to say.
His drummer has some chops, the girl is so inspiring on bass, every concert off that tour they command crowds at a festival, more people are watching as the songs go on.
It's like supernatural magnetism on display. He's got the gravity of Newton and she's this transcendental supernovae cluster just nailing licks and holding the cosmos together so he can comet across the galaxy and keep planets charted in their classical paths.
I'm watching the French version of The Office on Youtube. There's only one physical similarity between all of the international versions (of which there are 5, plus the UK and US) - the guy who plays Jim has a Beatles-meets-Bruce Lee haircut.
Mr. Murder, the State Dept under Conduit is about as demoralized as DoJ under Abu, this WH has been as bad for the U.S. as it is possible to be, the recovery is going to be hard but needs to start before Jan 20, 2009, I think.
The funniest thing about watching The Office is that Ronald Reagan is still dead...
