A bit OT but worth noting that more than one D-list winger is having a breakdown:
...It is time for ordinary citizens to begin organizing our defense. I’m interested in hearing from any individual who wants to work toward any one of the following:
* prosecution or class action lawsuit against Progressives involved in a nationwide criminal conspiracy;
* mass exodus to some state or group of states with the purpose of seceding from the union;
* arming and organizing ourselves for deliberate overthrow of the government, if that becomes necessary for our security.
Those are desperate measures, but these are desperate times. At the very least, we must begin organizing for our defense...
I love you, but do you have an example. Cuz I don't think so. But I'm willing to learn.

I heard a woman on NPR last night say that Black Americans would see an Obama presidency as "payback time," and that whites would become second-class citizens.

World oil prices have continued to fall, undermining oil cartel Opec's efforts to steady prices by cutting output by 1.5 million barrels a day.
The decision to cut about 5% of the cartel's total daily output came after an emergency Opec meeting in Vienna.
The move did not halt the sliding oil price with US sweet, light crude down $3.69 at $64.15 after wild swings saw greater falls in earlier trade.
Recession fears have pulled oil down from a high of $147 a barrel in July.
Agreed. Injecting billions of tons of CO2 miles underground and hoping it doesn't pop back up does not sound like a very good plan.
Especially since it would leak out into people's basements and cause asphyxiation.

This kind of stuff makes me wonder if the release of that $150,000 clothing tab and $900 spray-on tan tab wasn't someone from inside throwing Palin under the bus:
Four Republicans close to Palin said she has decided increasingly to disregard the advice of the former Bush aides tasked to handle her, creating occasionally tense situations as she travels the country with them. Those Palin supporters, inside the campaign and out, said Palin blames her handlers for a botched rollout and a tarnished public image — even as others in McCain's camp blame the pick of the relatively inexperienced Alaska governor, and her public performance, for McCain's decline.
"She's lost confidence in most of the people on the plane," said a senior Republican who speaks to Palin, referring to her campaign jet. He said Palin had begun to "go rogue" in some of her public pronouncements and decisions.
"I think she'd like to go more rogue," he said."

Some small businesses to have to keep up with environmental law and all have to be mindful of laws pertaining to hiring, firing and workplace management. For very small operations, that can be a problem, but, in most cases, general fairness and some common sense will keep them out of trouble even when they don't know the law specifically.
Where the body of law is unmanageable is the tax code--and that's something that's been promoted by big business, especially through arms such as the national organization of the Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers. Those organizations use small business as a Trojan horse to create tax breaks that ultimately can only be fully realized by large corporations.
Really small incorporated businesses can't manage the tax code without outside help, which is why so many use the services of accountants.

How safe the CO2 idea is depends on where the injecting is done, or sor it is claimed...
Storing carbon dioxide below ground may prevent polluting above http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/20...7/co2-
0207.html
A new analysis led by an MIT scientist describes a mechanism for capturing carbon dioxide emissions from a power plant and injecting the gas into the ground, where it would be trapped naturally as tiny bubbles and safely stored in briny porous rock.
This means that it may be possible for a power plant to be built in an appropriate location and have all its carbon dioxide emissions captured and injected underground throughout the life of the power plant, and then safely stored over centuries and even millennia. The carbon dioxide eventually will dissolve in the brine and a fraction will adhere to the rock in the form of minerals such as iron and magnesium carbonates.
Carbon dioxide is one of the primary greenhouse gases contributing to global warming. Studies have shown that reducing carbon dioxide emissions or capturing and storing the emissions underground in a process called sequestration is vital to the health of our planet. But one of the biggest risks of any sequestration project is the potential leak of the injected gas back into the atmosphere through abandoned wells or underground cracks.
In a paper published in a recent issue of Water -Resources Research, MIT Professor Ruben Juanes and co-authors assert that injected carbon dioxide will likely not flow back up to the surface and into the atmosphere, as many researchers fear.
"We have shown that this is a much safer way of disposing of CO2 than previously believed, because a large portion--maybe all--of the CO2 will be trapped in small blobs in the briny aquifer," said Juanes, a professor of civil and environmental engineering. "Based on experiments and on the physics of flow and transport, we know that the flow of the CO2 is subject to a safety mechanism that will prevent it from rising up to the top just beneath the geologic cap."

Just back from errands. Has this been commented on?
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Gov. Sarah Palin's signature accomplishment — a contract to build a 1,715-mile pipeline to bring natural gas from Alaska to the Lower 48 — emerged from a flawed bidding process that narrowed the field to a company with ties to her administration, an Associated Press investigation shows.
*** snip ***
Despite Palin's boast of a smart and fair bidding process, the AP found that her team crafted terms that favored only a few independent pipeline companies and ultimately benefited the winner, TransCanada Corp.
And contrary to the ballyhoo, there's no guarantee the pipeline will ever be built; at a minimum, any project is years away, as TransCanada must first overcome major financial and regulatory hurdles.
In interviews and a review of records, the AP found:
_Instead of creating a process that would attract many potential builders, Palin slanted the terms away from an important group — the global energy giants that own the rights to the gas.
_Despite promises and legal guidance not to talk directly with potential bidders, Palin had meetings or phone calls with nearly every major candidate, including TransCanada.
_The leader of Palin's pipeline team had been a partner at a lobbying firm where she worked on behalf of a TransCanada subsidiary. Also, that woman's former business partner at the lobbying firm was TransCanada's lead private lobbyist on the pipeline deal, interacting with legislators in the weeks before the vote to grant TransCanada the contract. Plus, a former TransCanada executive served as an outside consultant to Palin's pipeline team.
_Under a different set of rules four years earlier, TransCanada had offered to build the pipeline without a state subsidy; under Palin, the company could receive a maximum $500 million.

Right wingers have very complicated ideas of womanhood.
Beauty is part of the list of virtues they see in "real" women, and seeing women acting in a traditionally "available" way as they do in beauty pageants is a big deal for them.
Women who have had to get by on more than their looks, and who have had to compete in a more male fashion *cough hillary cough* are seen as less womanly.

I had a college roommate who was a pageant contestant, competed for Miss Ohio and Miss Pennsylvania, never won. She was actually pretty average-looking, in fact, but she had the hair and the make-up and clothes down pat, and this made her attractive to a certain type of guy.

Just returned from early voting, 64th and Cottage Grove, South Side, Chicago.
Must have been 100 people there in front of me and the family. Waited in line about forty minutes.
Touchscreen, with paper records if you chose. (We chose.) About 75 judges to vote for but I had done some homework on line and knew who to vote for or against.
If they got 100 in 2/3 hour, then in the eight hours they'd get about a thousand, at one polling place, and there are quite a few open, maybe twenty. So that's twenty thousand votes per day, and it's been going for about twelve days. Easy to imagine 240,000 early votes. Probably will see that number increase by eighty thousand or so, so that may cut down a little bit on the crunch come Election Day proper. I don't know how many registered voters there are in Chicago, but probably at least a couple million. My guess is that we'll see in the city an 80% turnout.

Except, the on-line records show no record of a ticket on the date it would have been issued.
My suspicion grows that the guy behind it is one of the parking monitors. Who operate under the authority of the police department.
If the city towed it, it would be in the impound area, and they would have at least attempted to contact you. Sometimes, it takes time for them to locate the owner, if the car isn't currently registered.
Why not call police impound, give them the description of the car, and let them look. At the very least, that would eliminate that one possibility.
Another thing you might do is scout around the web for Pontiac forums and mailing lists, if you're not already on them, and put out the word that the car is missing. Let others keep an eye out for the car, noting all the peculiarities of the automobile.
And, given your general location, you might call the Canadian customs people to see if the car passed the border recently.

The term 'free market' is really a euphemism. What the far right actually means by this term is 'lawless market.' In a lawless market, entrepreneurs can get away with privatizing the benefits of the market (profits), while socializing its costs (like pollution). Uncomfortable with the concept of a lawless market? The far right will try to reassure you with claims that the market can produce its own laws, either as a commodity bought and sold on the market, or through natural market mechanisms like the "invisible hand" or the Coase theorem. But it is interesting to note that even if the entrepreneurs don't take the more likely shortcut of creating their own state, this type of law removes the creation of law from democratic legislatures and gives it to authoritarian business owners and landlords. And since you get what you pay for, "purchased law" will primarily benefit its purchasers. Society might as well return to aristocracy directly.

I think that cop wants your car. My BMW 2002 was stolen in Chicago in just this fashion. I went to retrieve it and was told, sorry, it was crushed (twenty five days early). I said, Show me the pieces. They said, we don't do that. I said, I'll sue. They said, go ahead.

I think they're mildly heretical, but since almost no one reads them I seem to be safe.
That and I'm ordained in a liberal Protestant denomination which never met a heresy it didn't like, so it's kind of hard to stand out anyway.

Now, the sonsofbitches are hot mopping the new roof they've put on - using a neat little open flame I can see from my house, except the leaping flames are on the roof itself. I am hopeful it is contained, but let's keep in mind this is a half-assed wooden structure, the 'roofers' are day labourers and simultaneously, somebody's in that house sweating pipes using an acetylene torch. I can hear it. I presume they're going to keep working up to the moment of the next inspection on the assumption that what's done will be allowed. It won't.

Spaghetti and storebought sauce.
I am too physically and emotionally drained this weekend to do more than boil water tonight.
Indeed, the very act of plopping the pasta into the strainer is fraught with potential for significant personal injuries!

I was hoping you'd drop by. You MUST go to Harry's New York Bar at 5, Rue Daunou in Paris and VOTE IN THE STRAW POLL! It's never wrong! And Obama only has a narrow lead right now!
Also, the place is always crawling with French media about this time desperate to talk to American voters about the election.
It's a great little bar. Go, drink a beer, vote ... It's where I spent election night in 2000 ... fatefully, I might add.

The roofers came yesterday and tore all the shingles and tar paper off my house's roof, replacing only the tarpaper and hoping to replace the shingles on Monday ... now the wind is blowing in a storm and threatens blow away the new covering.

...A number of D-listers have been going on in that ominous direction. How long until the Militia of Montana reorganizes to present the baby-killer Islamist socialists from taking away their guns?...
I've tried to think of lefty examples of similar calls to arms and I just cant' think of any, not in the last thirty years or so, with a few exceptions of semi-lefty cults and some very small and odd leftover Stalinist communes. And, I've tried to image what might happen if any lefty blogger called for armed revolution.
Hmmmmm.
I hope someone is keeping track of this kind of stuff--Roy's skims through it from time to time but that's not enough. Seems to me that, yes, this might lead to militia groups very quickly. I think they are worth exposing to sunlight asap. Sure, a lot of it is just Red Dawn fantasy. (And this specific example, poor Phil at plumbbobblog, is the illogical and ignorant rantings of a disenfranchised substitute teacher. However, he's a certified D-list winger who gets links to some of the C-list blogs once a month.) But, for every couple hundred people who don't realized Report from Iron Mountain was a joke, there's a McVeigh.
