Who they are It was launched in 1937 to “promote the genetic stock of the original white settlers of America,” according to civil-rights expert Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Lexington Avenue–headquartered Fund provides research dollars to scientists whose work shows a connection between race and intelligence.
Current president J. Philippe Rushton has provoked widespread debate with his theory that smaller penis size is directly related to increased intelligence.

Yup. We don't want Maddie growing up believing that that's how relationships should be and then getting herself into an abusive relationship down the line. These things tend to be self-perpetuating.
And btw, my younger girl knew how to read before she was talking fluently at around three. I wouldn't worry too terribly much about that. I was a late talker as well. Had a terrible speech impediment. All else being equal, these things tend to work themselves out.

with all due respect, there is no excuse for hitting a woman. ever.
One of our car mechanics is a really nice guy, babysits his grandaughter every weekend, fixes stuff for his daughter, etc. He has pictures all over his office of them. And the guy is totally ripped, one of the few men I have ever felt physically intimidated by.
His daughter got beat up by her husband, and warned him she would call her dad if it ever happened again. Of course the dumb SOB did it again, beat her bad, so she called her dad.
He got there, put his daughter in the car with grandaughter, and went in to deal with SIL. He advised him he would not be seeing his daughter or grandaughter ever again. The SIL says he's calling the police, and FIL says that will not be necessary - He will be calling an ambulance to take SIL to hospital in about five minutes, and then calling the police to turn himself in.
He beat the SIL pretty bad, and to his word, he called for an ambulance and the police. Police go there as he was being put in the ambulance, and asked FIL what happened. He showed them his beatup daughter, and then told them the whole story.
The two cops look at each other, and then say (paraphrasing) - Looks like nothing worth writing up a report, got in the cruiser, and left.

If she doesn't do it, the only thing you can do is report the situation to the County's child welfare department, which means your granddaughter will likely be removed from the home.

hillary supporters vs. gov. dean:
It is also almost certainly an attempt to stick it to Howard Dean of the DNC, whose new primary calendar finally allows minorities such as Latinos, African-Americans and union members to have a say in determining the next president, which is an anathema to Florida’s elites who have done everything in their power over the past decade to make sure that those groups are not even allowed to vote. The move is also a huge boon to the frontrunning campaigns of Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton, both of whom have tremendous advantages in Florida.

On NPR this morning the CEO for Unity 08 was asked a question about whether they would want a Democrat and Republican to run for president and vice president on their ticket.
He said "a Democrat or Republican or a Republican and an Independent." His inflection and tonal emphasis made it clear that he prefers the latter ticket.
He went on to say that "withdrawing troops from Iraq in December made for a good slogan for a bumper sticker or a postcard but it isn't realistic."
So, Unity 08 shares one value with the Republicans and the Democrats and it can be characterized by these words:
"We don't care what the people want."

I didn't want to put this out the other day so much, but the "drama" that your g-d suffers through is a likely culpret for her late onset of speech inasmuch as it can stem from emotional instability. This also increases the likelihood of ADHD diagnosis once she hits school.

That reality became inescapable as soon as her engagement to Henry
Hager was announced by the White House 10 days ago. That transformed
the betrothal into a national event -- an official American celebration
of marriage.
If that's an American celebration of marriage, I hope mine is as unAmerican as one can get.

I don't like her for prez, either, but the criticisms I see here tend to involve epithets like "that woman" and stuff about her husband and such, as though a woman cannot be strong on her own. And the intensity of the attacks, as well as the almost constant drone of them, strikes me as coming from a place that has less to do with her policy positions and more with who she is.

U.S. News reports, “The buzz among top Bushies is that beleaguered Attorney General Alberto Gonzales finally plans to depart and will be replaced by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. Why Chertoff? Officials say he’s got fans on Capitol Hill, is untouched by the Justice prosecutor scandal, and has more experience than Gonzales did, having served as a federal judge and assistant attorney general.”

Oh DWD! The Art Institute of Chicago is an amazing place--I was there 3 weeks ago and was astounded. Spent 3 hours there and could have spent several more hours.
Donna Marie
Three hours is not nearly enough time. There were just so many wonders. The next time I go I will bring a notebook so I can take notes. There were just so many wonders that I cannot remember all of the wonders I saw. There was this one large painting - an impressionist - and when you first glanced it at you saw very little but as you stared details coalesced out of the painting as if by magic. Instead of seeing nothing you started seeing gardens and people and children playing and and and and and. (Just fucking WOW!)
And then there was this other large painting of a cityscape that seemed to just suck you into it like a magnet and you felt like you were transformed from flesh and blood into the painting itself. . . .
Three hours? Not nearly enough.

Pakistan has successfully test-fired a new cruise missile capable of carrying nuclear weapons, its military said.
The missile, named Hatf-VIII (or Raad, "thunder" in Arabic), has a range of 350km (220 miles), and can carry all types of warheads, a statement said.
Pakistan and its neighbour India - both nuclear powers - routinely carry out missile tests.
Tension between Pakistan and India has decreased in recent months amid a series of bilateral overtures.

Iraq body count running at double pace http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/
20070...unting_the_dead
BAGHDAD - This year's U.S. troop buildup has succeeded in bringing violence in Baghdad down from peak levels, but the death toll from sectarian attacks around the country is running nearly double the pace from a year ago.
Some of the recent bloodshed appears the result of militant fighters drifting into parts of northern Iraq, where they have fled after U.S.-led offensives. Baghdad, however, still accounts for slightly more than half of all war-related killings — the same percentage as a year ago, according to figures compiled by The Associated Press.
The tallies and trends offer a sobering snapshot after an additional 30,000 U.S. troops began campaigns in February to regain control of the Baghdad area. It also highlights one of the major themes expected in next month's Iraq progress report to Congress: some military headway, but extremist factions are far from broken.
In street-level terms, it means life for average Iraqis appears to be even more perilous and unpredictable.

The AP tracking includes Iraqi civilians, government officials, police and security forces killed in attacks such as gunfights and bombings, which are frequently blamed on Sunni suicide strikes. It also includes execution-style killings — largely the work of Shiite death squads.
The figures are considered a minimum based on AP reporting. The actual numbers are likely higher, as many killings go unreported or uncounted. Insurgent deaths are not a part of the Iraqi count.
The findings include:
• Iraq is suffering about double the number of war-related deaths throughout the country compared with last year — an average daily toll of 33 in 2006, and 62 so far this year.
• Nearly 1,000 more people have been killed in violence across Iraq in the first eight months of this year than in all of 2006. So far this year, about 14,800 people have died in war-related attacks and sectarian murders. AP reporting accounted for 13,811 deaths in 2006. The United Nations and other sources placed the 2006 toll far higher.
• Baghdad has gone from representing 76 percent of all civilian and police war-related deaths in Iraq in January to 52 percent in July, bringing it back to the same spot it was roughly a year ago.
_According to the Iraqi Red Crescent Organization, the number of displaced Iraqis has more than doubled since the start of the year, from 447,337 on Jan. 1 to 1.14 million on July 31.

Column about how badly Bush is mistaken in saying the anti-war people in the US "caused" the Cambodian Khmer Rouge to come to power and then go on its killing rampage.
It was the Nixon's geographical escalation of the Vietnam War itself -- not of the success of the antiwar movement or Congressional fatigue with war - that produced that outcome.
So the real lesson of the Vietnam-Cambodia war is that U.S. elective war is profoundly destabilizing, and that destabilization has a terrible human cost, which may spread beyond the country where the war began.
But there is a further lesson from that war. When Nixon began crying "bloodbath" in 1969 the Vietnam War was already four years old. It was his fateful decision to continue and escalate that war that brought about the Cambodian catastrophe. The longer American wars of occupation are continued, the worse the human and political consequences.
Now history appears to be repeating itself. Once again, after four years of war, a president is crying "bloodbath" even as he appears to be headed toward the geographical escalation of the war. Only this time the escalation will be far more dangerous than was the escalation into Cambodia in 1970.
Read the whole thing--good summary of the Cambodian mess and what the US (Nixon) did to cause it.
Now, we have a president who fails to learn, fails to ask questions, fails to even imagine there are questions to be asked--damn, this maladministration is scary, scary, scary.
Anyone who says that "things" are better in Iraq does not have my support.

Sadly, Occam's Razor suggests that pop music wasn't in a sufficiently degraded state for us to appreciate how awesome this was until was too late.
Also important: pretending that the synth claps are Eddie clapping, and the synth-bass riff is being played by Rick (except it's still playing at the end when they snuggle).

True, but thank you for the offer. I'll have a free day my first day there; maybe there can be a lunch or dinner "meet-up," depending on time and distance. We shall see ...
Don't load the whole page. And block Flash.

Mr. Murphy? Here are your waterskis. The ramp is right over there next to the shark tank...
Seriously, I was 14. I thought Eddie Murphy was the coolest celebrity ever. And this video single handedlu destroyed a generation's respect for the uy. I've never cared for him since, though Delirious is still a classic......
