Indeed, Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert Kimmitt told the mass circulation tabloid Bild that "it would be nice if the German government would focus on strengthening its contacts to us rather than already beginning to look for our successors."

There used to be this delicious cheese that you could get, I believe it was called Leiderkranz, until the company that made it accidentally killed the bacteria that gave the cheese its special flavor. Smelled to high heaven but it was super tasty.
My old man and I used to eat it on rye krisps.

"Holtz-Eakin: Phil Gramm Is No Longer ‘Giving Advice To Senator McCain’»
Since Thursday, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) presidential campaign has been in damage control mode, attempting to distance itself from top economic adviser Phil Gramm’s belief that America is “a nation of whiners” that is only going through a “mental recession.” “Sen. Graham and I, as I said, we have a total disagreement on whether Americans are whiners or not,” McCain told reporters yesterday.
Appearing on PBS’s Nightly Business Report last night, McCain’s senior policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, claimed that because of the comments, Gramm would no longer be giving McCain advice:
GERSH: Is Senator Gramm still giving advice to Senator McCain?
HOLTZ-EAKIN: No.
GERSH: No.
HOLTZ-EAKIN: At — I haven’t spoken to Senator Gramm since the comments took place, and I’m not expecting to."

See now it gets even worse without Gramm as his top economic advisor:
"If he can't even count the number of economists who "endorse" him, how can he handle an abysmal economy?
It's now clear that a good number of the 300 economists who "endorsed" John McCain's economic policies did no such thing. Many see a conflict between the costs of an extended war and McCain's promises back home; others didn't bother to read the specifics of what they were asked to sign.
It's just one embarrassing McFiasco after another. I look forward to the next hour minute time he opens his McMouth for more." http://

A fine vintage 2008 John Fund whine. Waaaaah!
signatures have been filed to put a sweeping reorganization of state government on this November's ballot. The measure, pushed by a group called "Reform Michigan Government Now," contains at least 36 distinct provisions that take up a dozen pages of fine type. "It's a Trojan Horse dressed up as My Friend Flicka," says Lawrence Reed, president of the conservative Mackinac Center.
In a recession-wracked state seething with public anger at elected officials, the measure hits populist notes by cutting the size of the legislature and reducing the salaries of top officeholders. But on voting, it would mandate no-excuse-needed absentee voting -- despite a long history of vote-fraud scandals involving absentee votes in Detroit and other cities. A redistricting commission would be set up to reshape political boundaries, but state courts would be barred from reviewing any plans it draws up. (Only federal courts could review the boundaries.) Voters would also be barred from rejecting or amending the commission's work by initiative.
There is also a direct attack on the judiciary. The initiative reduces the state's Supreme Court to five members, down from seven, and the state's Court of Appeals to 20 judges, down from 28. Saving money appears not to be the motive: Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm could appoint 10 newly created circuit court judges. The net result would be that conservatives would lose control of the state Supreme Court, because the two justices who would be removed would be the last two appointed by GOP Gov. John Engler. Of the eight appeals court judgeships that would be eliminated, six are now held by people with GOP backgrounds.

Where is the statement from McCain's staff in this story? And why did it take the Secret Service two days to claim they had nothing to do with my ouster? Also, the part about the security guard had me smiling. The DCPA's Suzanne Blandon seems to be saying that because he is not "a trained speaker," and because it was "the height of the moment," the words "Secret Service" just popped out of his mouth. Huh.

Many of you have been inquiring about the status of legal proceedings.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_egg
Century egg, also known as preserved egg, hundred-year egg, thousand-year egg, and thousand-year-old egg, is a Chinese cuisine ingredient made by preserving duck, chicken or quail eggs in mixture of clay, ash, salt, lime, and rice straw for several weeks to several months, depending on the method of processing. After the process is completed, the yolk becomes a dark green, cream-like substance with a strong odor of sulfur and ammonia, while the white becomes a dark brown, transparent jelly with little flavor or taste. The transforming agent in century egg is its alkaline material, which gradually raises the pH of egg from around 9 to 12 or more.[1] This chemical process breaks down some of the complex, flavorless proteins and fats, which produces a variety of smaller flavorful compounds.
CHICAGO (Reuters) - The U.S. Green Party, which captured far less than 1 percent of the vote in the last presidential election, chose former Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney as its 2008 presidential candidate Saturday.
McKinney, 53, will be joined on the ticket for the November election by vice presidential candidate Rosa Clemente, a hip-hop artist and activist.

The story "Yertle the Turtle," among Seuss's most notable, is widely recognized as condemning fascism and absolute power, and the despotic ruler Yertle is meant to parallel Adolf Hitler.
Yertle sounds a lot like a GOPer...

Does anyone know where Karl Rove is and when he'll be back? Having some stooge senator tell the SJC that he's 'out of the country' seems a bit, um, curious.
I think this is our greeting party at the airport:

Peasants in France used to add horse dung to the bread to make it go further. I think there is at least supposed to be some small nutritional value to horse dung, though I hope never to try it.

Sudan angry at threat of charges
Sudan's ambassador to the UN has reacted angrily to reports that his country's president could be charged with war crimes over Darfur.
Abdalmahmood Abdalhaleem Mohamad said any such charges against President Omar al-Bashir would be a "criminal move".
Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court are expected to present evidence against Mr Bashir on Monday.

Did you try these, Atrios?
I've had durian candy, as well as the real thing which tastes like a cross between mango, custard, very ripe raclette, and putrefying flesh.
Isn't there more nutritious parts of the horse, such as the horse itself?
The seigneur in the chateau owned the horse. They just scraped up the dung that was dropped gratis as he rode by.
In the US we get mostly frozen durian (whole fruits shipped frozen; sold thawed) but I am told the fresh stuff is both stinkier and tastier.
I ate a Durian once. It's flavor is a little like custard. Sort of sweet and creamy. The only downside it is the brimstone and sulfur bouquet. It is like a delightful vanilla pudding with just a hint of the smell of death.

i was going to guess "the little tramp"
The original running time was 222 minutes. It was later cut, and then restored (in 1989), but not to it's original length. They couldn't find all the missing footage.
If there is one film that needs to be scene on the big screen, it's Lawrence of Arabia.
I saw the 1989 reissue.
yeah, it's one of my faves too.
The guesses were Ben Hur, The Longest Day, and Dr. Strangelove.

When American businesses go bust, the world suffers:
From the inbox, here's a document filed with the bankruptcy court handling the Goody's bankruptcy by a company who says they are owed $78,822 for three shipments of "Ladies Pants."
The company, Kane Apparels Ltd. of Sri Lanka, made three shipments in March of this year. The price per pair of ladies pants was $6.78 for the first shipment, $6.75 for the second, and $6.95 for the third.
They submitted as evidence an email sent to Goodys demanding payment. The email states that the company "employs nearly 1000 Poor Employees ... most of whom are young women."
NOTE: Kane Apparels is a "certified Garments Without Guilt" manufacturer. Garments Without Guilt is a Sri Lanka garment industry group "protecting worker's rights, creating opportunities for education and personal growth, and helping to alleviate poverty in our communities."
dirk gently, a question. My fig tree has a gazillion tiny figs on it now. They don't seem to be getting any bigger. Are yours ripening yet? I ask because our 15-year-old fig tree got zapped by a three-day freeze last spring (07) and I thought we had lost it. It came back to life, but produced no fruit last year. I can't remember if I'm worrying too early in the season or not.
What, none of those ulutating women in L of Arabia got credit? That was the best part!
Dr. Strangelove has one of my favorite female speaking roles.

other fun foods (from a friend in burkina faso):
Roasted grasshoppers are another somewhat alarming specialty. My friend Delphine loves them and nothing makes her happier than when a friend from Niger sends her a bag full of the crunchy treats. When she urged me to try some, I gingerly picked past the whole insects and found a small leg. It was not horrible, but I couldn’t get past the idea.
Eldest daughter (then age 6) is far more adventurous than her mom. She carefully chose a whole insect and popped it in her mouth. She thought it was great and settled down beside Delphine to eat a few more. She reported that the heads were a bit icky, but the bodies were pretty good.

This one time when I was an alter boy there was another alter boy who put the consecrated host in his mouth, but didn't eat it took it out and put it in his pocket. Then when he got home he cut it with a knife and IT BLED!
I SWEAR this really happened to a friend of mine at Holy Cross Church, he name was Johnny Hennessey and he totally did this. Another time he dropped a consecrated host off of the patton and onto the marble floor by the altar and it HIT THE GROUND. The priest came over to pick it up because he had the magic fingers. When he picked it up we noticed that the marble underneath the host was BLOOD RED! You can STILL see this blood red stain in the marble to this very DAY! I SWEAR TO GOD!
What if a renegade priest consecrated a whole box of Saltines in the grocery store? Or Cheez-Its? Have they thought about that? Have they?

The Pack may keep Favre as a backup.
I was never hit by a priest when I was an altar boy either. Nuns were a different story.
What? Hit ON? Oh. Never mind.
"You know that Jesus was in favor of handguns? True story. When he said to his disciples that they should take a sword with them when they went out to preach to the many he was telling them to take a defensive weapon. And the sword was the handgun of the day!"
I heard this on the radio.
Yes, the evangelical right love to indoctrinate their young with this kind of crap (see the movie "Jesus Camp" for an eye-opening experience). The twisted thing is that Jesus was a social revolutionary for peace and against the oppression of the state on a level that would put even many of the folks on this blog to shame. Read Marcus Borg. The great spiritual leaders of history (Buddha, Confuscious, Mohammed, Jesus) and of faith are great for a reason -- folks can twist what they said and what the meant all they want, but the essential ruth, beauty, love and justice of the messages for those who care to study and meditate on them deeply endure.
$13 mill for a backup? Nah.
These days, Obama assails McCain's position on the issues every chance he gets. He levels his charges with a commonsense tone and lighthearted touch that couches the criticism while making his core argument: McCain and President Bush are the same.
"If you are satisfied with the way things are going now, then you should vote for John McCain," Obama says before rattling off a list of current concerns, including rising gas prices, home foreclosures and job losses as the country fights two wars. Then, Obama promises "fundamental change."

Did they figure out what not taking him back would mean?
They told Favre they won't release him, and that if he comes back it's as backup quarterback.
This is actually a very positive AP article on Obama:
"Let's be clear. This economic downturn is not in your head. It isn't whining to ask government to step in and give families some relief!" Obama said. Mixing humor with an attack, Obama added: "America already has one Dr. Phil. We don't need another one when it comes to the economy!"
This audience ate up Obama's criticism of McCain — just like his crowds do every day.

Which is of course seems unlikely because the total US GDP is only a little over 13 trillion.

Obama's being pretty aggressive, despite what I've been reading:
The senator criticized his rival, GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), for having been in Washington for 26 years and in that time achieving “little to help reduce our dependence on foreign oil.”
“So when he talks about the failure of politicians in Washington to do anything about our energy crisis, understand that Sen. McCain has been a part of that failure,” Obama said.

What I love about this neighborhood:
After getting my hair cut this afternoon, I walked down Salem St. and saw an older man standing on the corner of Prince and Salem with boxes of herbs (basil, lemon balm, rosemary and flowers, geraniums, phlox, and potted basil plants). I stopped to speak to him. He was from Avalino--near Naples, Italy--Giuseppe. He spoke about how the neighborhood is changing--but that he has been driving into the city since the late '50s to sell the produce he grows on his plot of land in the suburbs. (He lived in the North End when he arrived from Italy in the 40s.) He spoke to me in a combination of Italian and English. I was happy to have the chance to use my paltry Italian language. I bought a large aromatic bouquet of basil for $1.25.
I'll visit him again next Saturday.

this list below by the Family Steering Committee was intended for the Commission to ask President Bush in sworn testimony. In case you weren't aware, both President Bush and Vice President Cheney agreed only to testify in private, without being under oath, and without the capability of Commissioners being able to even take notes.
1. As Commander-in-Chief on the morning of 9/11, why didn't you return immediately to Washington, D.C. or the National Military Command Center once you became aware that America was under attack? At specifically what time did you become aware that America was under attack? Who informed you of this fact?
2. On the morning of 9/11, who was in charge of our country while you were away from the National Military Command Center? Were you informed or consulted about all decisions made in your absence?

The whole point of the big name speakers like ex-presidents is to help with future contracts or to thank him for being there for their past contracts.

30k for one evening's speech. He didn't come to the dinner before and he didn't stick around later. I talked to the people who were there and they said he SUCKED as a presenter. But they didn't care, they were more pissed they couldn't hombnob before or after.
They just wanted to be with a 'Winner' so they could feel that Winnerness rub off on them.
I knew 5 people that were MUCH better speakers but they hadn't DONE something like win the America's cup.
I was always stunned by the money people paid Rudy. I wonder if the stockholders of those companies were cool with the fees they paid. I'll be they were because later they could say what a good "investment" it was to have Rudy speak since he was going to be the next president. But then he wasn't. So they have to say about some contract they got because of his contacts or contract they got in the past.
It would be interesting to see how the justified the cost of his speaking engagement.
3. What defensive action did you personally order to protect our nation during the crisis on September 11th? What time were these orders given, and to whom? What orders were carried out? What was the result of such orders? Were any such orders not carried out?
4. In your opinion, why was our nation so utterly unprepared for an attack on our own soil?
5. U.S. Navy Captain Deborah Loewer, the Director of the White House Situation Room, informed you of the first airliner hitting Tower One of the World Trade Center before you entered the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida. Please explain the reason why you decided to continue with the scheduled classroom visit, fifteen minutes after learning the first hijacked airliner had hit the World Trade Center.
btw, today is my daughter's 29th bday. i am old as hell.
The Prestige -- also with Nolan, Bale and Caine -- is amazing. The only reason it didn't get more press was because the other historical magician epic that year was also great and because so many other excellent movies came out.
have only had one day of rain in the past 3 months.
It;s not the water - it's the direct sun. When you have 12 hours + direct sun every day, none but the very toughest can survive. Cassia survives. Bougainvillea may die. Nandina, established, that'll survive. Chinese pistache - that'll do fine. 12 hours of direct sun taxes everything.
Plus all of those sealed indictments for war crimes will crimp his travel plans.
Hoping thats the case.
Well, the Time's editorial section is pretty much useless to me tonight: I tried but could not make it through Fran Rich. "No no no, I been to this movie before!"
Why can't we impeach and remove these people from office? I am so sick of them shitting on the Constitution and this country. It is sickening. Frank Rich does a nice job. I just can't anymore. Might just be me though
And Maureen Dowd? Why bother?
If I wanted that sort of shit I would turn on Entertainment Tonight and get it from the source, not one of the groupies.
6. Is it normal procedure for the Director of the White House Situation Room to travel with you? If so, please cite any prior examples of when this occurred. If not normal procedure, please explain the circumstances that led to the Director of the White House Situation Room being asked to accompany you to Florida during the week of September 11th.
7. What plan of action caused you to remain seated after Andrew Card informed you that a second airliner had hit the second tower of the World Trade Center and America was clearly under attack? Approximately how long did you remain in the classroom after Card's message?
8. At what time were you made aware that other planes were hijacked in addition to Flight 11 and Flight 175? Who notified you? What was your course of action as Commander-in-Chief of the United States?

Hell is a damn sight older than you, and not nearly as humorous.
Matt Drudge is too fraking powerful. Why don't we ever bother to go after him? The MSM sure won't they would lose their assignment editor.
Plus if you say it came from Drudge and you get it wrong you are one step away from real culpability.
It was in DRUDGE!
Hell is a damn sight older than you
chronologically, perhaps.
It;s not the water - it's the direct sun. When you have 12 hours + direct sun every day, none but the very toughest can survive.
Sure, understandable, that is the conditions the two I have are in, direct sun from sun up to sundown.
Which is why I suggested it.
Duane V, kashubian,
My friend the arms dealer who stopped by Friday asked these questions about 9-11 and the plane that hit the Pentagon.
Where is the passenger list?
Where are the passengers?
Where are the wings?
Where are the engines?
I dunno. I go with the established story but those is interesting questions I guess. . . .
Even the right-wing liars who try to schill for Drudge do not actually read Drudge themselves.
K&Y I loved The Illusionist if that's the movie you're speaking about.
I don't remember it doing that well either.
The Prestige has Bowie as Tesla which was worth the price of admission.
If I wanted that sort of shit I would turn on Entertainment Tonight and get it from the source, not one of the groupies.

Vincent Bugliosi needs to go into a room with the democratic congressional "leadership" for 10 to 15 minutes. That'd probably do it.
Our answer to the IX/XI shenanigans is still we will never know in our lifetimes what unambiguously really happened and that's no reason to let it distract us from simpler questions.

That isn't spit. And I rather doubt they are actually "reading" any such thing.

Excellent. i shit on his grave, the fucking liar. Good riddance.
Sullied sheets.
I've already killed a couple of mimosas, Dave.... I get tired of paying $300 for something that dies two months on. I could more easily just put a nice GE deep freeze out there, with a long cord.
this is why i don't invite people to my house (well, one reason): they bring lousy beer. i still have nazi beer and bud lite from a cast party last year. and [shiver] smirnoff ice. that's theater folk for you.
happily, i've still got some newcastle to tide me over. but i took all my good beer - guinness, shakespeare rogue, etc to the last cast party i went to, of course they don't drink it but it's impolite to bring your own back home. so now i have to get cast in another play with those same people and hold another cast party so they will bring it back.
*sigh*
I dunno. I go with the established story but those is interesting questions I guess. . . .

I can't go along with the official story. Too many holes. Plus, if you can buy the idea that some guy in a cave coordinated this, what makes it so difficult to believe our own leadership couldn't? Somebody had our air defenses stand down that day. Bin Laden doesn't have the authority.
Bowie was awesome as Tesla -- restrained, but successfully convincing you
he was capable of anything.
Duane V, kashubian |
These are GREAT questions! Where did you get them? I'm curious about the answers did anyone ever say? I know that they couldn't exactly, but I'm curious of what was said. And if there were follow ups to his bullshit responses.
"I was told that it was probably an accident, so while it was tragic there wasn't anything I could do regarding the accident."
"Sir with no due respect, that is untrue, we have been told you were told that this was a highjacked plane, not a simple accident."
"At that time I was still under the impression that it was a domestic hijacking and it wasn't anything that I could do about it."
Alright, now I'd like you to answer the next question and NOT look at Mr. Cheney for confirmation. Look at me sir, not at the VP.
What did you do....
FoxNews is reading live your comments spitting on Tony Snow's grave.
If you're looking at me, I am not spitting on Tony's grave. He's not buried yet.
The whole pretext for the "war on terror" is based on a lie.

I guess, given that history, it makes sense to avoid them.

Nanny Staters live in fear of attack by vicious
seagulls and are advised by government never to leave their houses

holding a stick aloft which was far from easy"
That's pretty much what he already said -- he thought it was one hell of a bad pilot, and then later his handlers brought news and insructions and gosh shucks but there was bugger left for him to deciderize.
Oooh. Garden brand. Local company. Have friends who live just around the corner from their primary bakery.
And love durian, but not so fond of Garden's durian flavoured wafer cookies. Their peach is better.
