For real?
I am lovin' this summer vacation! 
Haven't had a first in awhile
Aw, nuts.
Sorry, ql. Didn't mean to interrupt the streak!
Oh my god.
I won't be able to drive around Washington.
Oh, DC. Shrug. Who cares,
ql: let it be noted that I was standing on home plate, watching you run the bases.
A,
Did you also see the WaPo article on how Tysons Corner, VA is redoing itself to get rid of parking lots and have narrow, walkable streets? Front page.
Cause DC isn't already the most hostile driving environment known to man?

Happy happy birthday!!!!!!!!

And the NYT science section for the current action. They really do a great job.
DC is really a pretty darn walkable city. And there's a rule that no building in DC can be taller than the Washington Monument, which also keeps the scale pretty human. Lots of islands of green. Beautiful statues. But don't come now. Wait until September. Fewer tourists and better weather.
Thanks all. I used to hate birthdays cause it meant I was getting old. The breast cancer 17 years ago changed all that.
the snorg t-shirt girl reminds me that the platypus genome has recently been deciphered. Some pretty interesting diverticula there, too.

It helps that Fenty is a v enthusiastic biker.
The city has changed parts of Constitution Avenue NE from a reversible commuter artery back to a quiet side street and is considering removing the reversible lane on 16th Street NW, a key commuting route from Montgomery County.
Now if they can get the goddamn huge tourist busses off of Constitution, where they park and take up all the available spaces . . . .

Seventeen years is freaking wonderful. You give me hope.
They got me last week for "encroaching on a crosswalk." If you want to have a war on commuters, fine. But do you have to have a war on folks who are forced to drive for their entertainment options because the damn Metro doesn't stay open late enough?

My guess is his unfitness for the job will make itself evident as the campaign goes on so maybe the repugs are trying to head off any such talk? weird.

Not as such. The democrats have historically been pro-labor, but the "moderate" dems (Dem Leadership Council) have backed away considerably.

Also, McCain't doesn't need any help demonstrating he's "psychologically unfit for presidential office". All he has to do is open his mouth.
The cities around here have definitely stepped up traffic enforcement. I've seen more cops in downtown Oakland in the last month than in the 20 years previous to that.

Does America have a labor party?
Umm, that's what the Dems were supposed to be, but haven't been since the Taft-Hartley Act was passed.
There are labor-centered parties in the country, still, but, they've been shunted to the sidelines by the two major parties. Socialist Workers Party, the Progressive Party, and there's still vestiges of the International Workers of the World (Wobblies) around.
But, for the most part, labor is not a major force. It was strong when manufacturing was a dominant part of the economy, but, no longer. People under forty today don't realize that most major newspapers had a regular labor news column, just like the business news. Try to find one today....
Is that Bugs that allen butler?
Everything in this broken country is a war. I think it started with the "war on poverty" language, another thing to hold against LBJ.
Oh, oh. Thers is into the painkillers.

Never mind he was born of US citizen parents, his dad was a Naval officer serving in the Panama Canal Zone, etc.

Congress first recognized the citizenship of children born to U.S. parents overseas on March 26, 1790, under the first naturalization law: "And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens."

That's different from "having US parents", though, which is what I was referring to. That's something that came from the 14th Amendment, and apparently it's unclear if that means "natural-born".

By the way, Barry Goldwater was born in the US territory of Arizona before it became a state. The wingnuts can stfu about Obama being born in Hawaii.
I don't even think two parents with US citizenship are required. SO's sister, born in Greece and a naturalized US citizen, lives in Greece and is married to a Greek citizen. All three of her sons were registered with the US Consulate and are considered US Citizens.
US military installations are considered US soil. If he was born in a military hospital, as he likely was, he was born a US citizen.
As are certain other leased properties of the United States, such as embassies.
Still, the rule is fairly specific. I recall, around 1980, Lowell Weicker had been saying some untoward things about the GOP, so the natural inclination of the GOP was to attack Weicker, rather than consider the criticism. They chose to claim that he was contemplating running as a Democrat, and was, therefore, untrustworthy.
Weicker responded by saying that he couldn't be President, because he'd been born in Paris (his father was an official at the US embassy there). By his explanation, had he been born on the embassy grounds, he would be qualified, but, because he was born in a Paris hospital, he wasn't. Because both his parents were US citizens, he was automatically entitled to US citizenship, but could not be considered born on US soil.
No. The Senate passed a resolution "clarifying" his status.
It really is a shame that the Senate had to waste time on this because some fucktard Paulista dogshit whined

I thought they did too, as he wasn't born in the US, but in territory controlled by the US.

Um, there was no bill passed concerning McBush's status as a US Citizen eligible to hold the office of President.
There was a resolution passed (resolutions are NOT bills, they do not have the force of law) that sought to clarify for the fucktards that McBush IS eligible for the office because he is a natural born citizen despite the efforts of seriously braindead Ron Paul supporters to bring this into question.

Fears, Again, of Oil Supplies at Risk
By NEELA BANERJEE
Published: October 14, 2001
THEY are the nightmares, the worst confluence of misguided decisions and startling violence, that politicians and oil executives ponder briefly and then shoo away:
That sympathizers of Osama bin Laden sink three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and choke off the narrow, bow-shaped channel that funnels 14 million barrels a day from the Persian Gulf to the rest of the world.
That the United States attacks Iraq, and Israel launches a huge strike against the Palestinians, driving them from their camps and staking out more land -- all of which spurs the Persian Gulf states to cut off oil for the West. Or perhaps that a popular uprising, led by sympathizers of Mr. bin Laden, topples the ruling Saud family in Saudi Arabia, by far the world's largest oil producer.
''If bin Laden takes over and becomes king of Saudi Arabia, he'd turn off the tap,'' said Roger Diwan, a managing director of the Petroleum Finance Company, a consulting firm in Washington. ''He said at one point that he wants oil to be $144 a barrel'' -- about six times what it sells for now.
The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the subsequent battering of the global economy have stretched the edges of imagination. Most Western politicians and oil industry experts say they believe assurances from the Middle East that oil supplies will stay stable as the American-led attacks on terrorist groups continue. But in such a profoundly changed world, they concede, anything is possible.

I recall a trick from one of the old Foxfire books, which involved auguring a hole into the stump at a shallow angle, so that the stump side facing the prevailing winds had a hole just above ground level, and the side opposite had a hole just below ground level.
Pour some kerosene into the hole, let it soak in, light it, and just let it work. In a few days, the stump--and the bigger roots--will be gone.

Wonder how those "strict constructionists" on the SC would have ruled on appeal?
The Twelfth Amendment says state electors shall vote for president and vice president "one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves."
Caplan explains the language in his filing. "The Twelfth Amendment is clear that one of the candidates, either the candidate for president or the one for vice president, must be an inhabitant of a different state than that of any particular state's electors," he wrote. "In the case of Texas, that constitutional requirement has clearly not been complied with.
"Clearly, if the Constitution is to be followed to the letter of the law, and not circumvented by an obvious and highly cynical attempt to cleverly finesse its provisions, which were created with great forethought by our nation's 'Founding Fathers,' then George Bush and Dick Cheney cannot be allowed to receive the thirty-two electoral votes of the state of Texas," the suit states.
Caplan asks the judge to declare that Bush and Cheney were inhabitants of Texas at the time of the election and he also asked for a permanent injunction preventing the Secretary of State of the state of Texas from certifying its slate of electors in favor of the Republican ticket.
Wyoming has various tests for residency requirements. To obtain a resident fishing or hunting license, for example, one must reside in the state for at least the prior year and not have claimed a residence elsewhere. Somebody who moves to Wyoming to work must register his or her vehicle and get Wyoming plates within a month. But somebody who wants to vote may have lived in the state only a minute so long as he or she can provide a street address for a residence.
Cheney, a Wyoming native who served six terms as the state's lone U.S. Representative, "dashed to Wyoming," to change his registration before accepting Bush's nomination as running mate.

Probably should go the gas route. The stump's right next to the garage. And as much as I want that fucking garage torn down, it's not covered on our insurance.
Plus, I think the city of St. Paul's got something on the books against doing that. And gas is expensive.

Accounting Plan Would Allow Use of Foreign Rules
By STEPHEN LABATON
WASHINGTON — Federal officials say they are preparing to propose a series of regulatory changes to enhance American competitiveness overseas, attract foreign investment and give American investors a broader selection of foreign stocks.
But critics say the changes appear to be a last-ditch push by appointees of President Bush to dilute securities rules passed after the collapse of Enron and other large companies — measures that were meant to forestall accounting gimmicks and corrupt practices that led to those corporate failures.

Yup, the military's looking at them for that purpose, because they're much, much cheaper than satellites. There are tentative plans to use them for border policing, but, I have the feeling that once they're deployed and if there's no public outcry, the use of them will expand....

Hardcover: 0-374-13781-1; $
Paperback: 0-374-51635-9; $11.00US
The Deltoid Pumpkin Seed tells the fascinating story of the dream of a completely new aircraft, a hybrid of the airplane and the rigid airship--huge, wingless, moving slowly through the lower sky. It flies aerodynamically. It floats aerostatically. It carries bridges, buildings, fleets of trucks. It is a flying warehouse. It eliminates the need for roads, railroads, prepared harbors. Or so goes the dream. With an arching back and a deep belly, it looks like a tremendous pumpkin seed.

Nancy Soderberg was deputy national security advisor and an ambassador to the United Nations in the Clinton administration. Today, she has an Op-Ed in the Los Angeles Times defending the FISA bill and telecom amnesty. The entire Op-Ed is just a regurgitation of the same trite, vague talking points which the political elite are using to justify this bill, accompanied by the standard invocations of "National Security" which our Foreign Policy elite condescendingly toss around to justify whatever policy they're claiming is necessary to protect us. But it's the language that she uses -- and the brazeness of the lying (and that's what it is) to justify this bill -- that's notable here.
