The changes keep on coming in the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. Less than a month ago, former voting section chief John "minorities don't become elderly the way white people do: They die first" Tanner got canned. And today, his replacement, Christopher Coates, a veteran of the section, demoted Tanner's controversial deputy chiefs, Susana Lorenzo-Giguere and Yvette Rivera. The changes were announced in an email to voting section staff.

President George W. Bush today announced that C. Boyden Gray will serve as Special Envoy for European Union Affairs. Gray served with distinction as the United States Ambassador to the European Union from January 2006 until his appointment expired on December 31, 2007. In order that the United States may continue to benefit from his experience and expertise at a time of great importance in U.S.-EU relations, the President has asked him to serve in this new role.

Tax policy. You know, the type of thing that prevents deduction of salaries over $1,000,000.
"Of all the accusations made against the dictator," MacArthur observed, "none had more impact on American public opinion than the one about Iraqi soldiers removing 312 babies from their incubators and leaving them to die on the cold hospital floors of Kuwait City."84
At the Human Rights Caucus, however, Hill & Knowlton and Congressman Lantos had failed to reveal that Nayirah was a member of the Kuwaiti Royal Family. Her father, in fact, was Saud Nasir al-Sabah, Kuwait's Ambassador to the US, who sat listening in the hearing room during her testimony. The Caucus also failed to reveal that H&K vice-president Lauri Fitz-Pegado had coached Nayirah in what even the Kuwaitis' own investigators later confirmed was false testimony.
If Nayirah's outrageous lie had been exposed at the time it was told, it might have at least caused some in Congress and the news media to soberly reevaluate the extent to which they were being skillfully manipulated to support military action.

Normally, government has regulated wages, not salaries. Except for the tax rule that prevents deductions of salaries over $1,000,000. Filling in the loopholes for bonuses and stock options would go a long way in regulating outrageous executive compensation.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Two new reports on the assassination last month of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto suggest that the killing may have been an ambitious plot rather than an isolated act of violence and that the government of President Pervez Musharraf knows far more than it's admitted about the murder.
A police officer who witnessed the assassination said that a mysterious crowd stopped Bhutto's car that day, moving her to emerge through the sunroof. And a document has surfaced in the Pakistani news media that contradicts the government's version of her death and contains details on the pistol and the suicide bomb used in the murder.

You husband still gets red faced over that.
Members of my household voted against you once for that in unison. Now you’ve got a union buster helping push your agenda?
Step back into the light. Remember the time when you reasserted to connect with those teachers and meet their needs to improve education. People in our state had to learn it the hard way, you left office and the next Gov. stripped education down as best he could. Bill came back and reclaimed higher ground, he was better because of his experiences.
Experience matters.
You addressed reform and did not leave it as an unfunded mandate. Remind people that you met those demands within the framework of a balanced budget, then did the same nationally.
Size matters.
You learned how to take bold new steps on a state level, challenging convention and authority to shape government anew, then you took many of those ideas to a bigger format and made them work for America as a whole.

What other Democrat has the same track record to engineer positive change to the extent you did within Arkansas? None of them do to the level you have done. It’s hard to talk of national success when they have yet to make the same impact at the state level as your husband’s years in office did with your help.
You know how to implement change better than any of the candidates out there, this time you don’t have people like Newt Gingrich in the way with numbers enough to restrict the ability to cultivate positive growth.
You’ve got all the advantages within your political arsenal. Power in and of itself, for power’s sake, is not what makes a great leader. Understanding how to apply power is what makes the difference.
Surgeons have the tasks mastered through knowledge and technology. A tool in their hands can save lives. Their hands are directed by previous experience, as well by a time tested approach that precedes their days, also by new ideas in applied science.

Argue with this:
U.S. Ambassador Glaspie - I have direct instructions from President Bush to improve our relations with Iraq. We have considerable sympathy for your quest for higher oil prices, the immediate cause of your confrontation with Kuwait. (pause) As you know, I lived here for years and admire your extraordinary efforts to rebuild your country. We know you need funds. We understand that, and our opinion is that you should have the opportunity to rebuild your country. (pause) We can see that you have deployed massive numbers of troops in the south. Normally that would be none of our business, but when this happens in the context of your threat s against Kuwait, then it would be reasonable for us to be concerned. For this reason, I have received an instruction to ask you, in the spirit of friendship - not confrontation - regarding your intentions: Why are your troops massed so very close to Kuwait's borders?
Saddam Hussein - As you know, for years now I have made every effort to reach a settlement on our dispute with Kuwait. There is to be a meeting in two days; I am prepared to give negotiations only this one more brief chance. (pause) When we (the Iraqis) meet (with the Kuwaitis) and we see there is hope, then nothing will happen. But if we are unable to find a solution, then it will be natural that Iraq will not accept death.
U.S. Ambassador Glaspie - What solutions would be acceptable?
Saddam Hussein - If we could keep the whole of the Shatt al Arab - our strategic goal in our war with Iran - we will make concessions (to the Kuwaitis). But, if we are forced to choose between keeping half of the Shatt and the whole of Iraq (i.e., in Saddam s view, including Kuwait ) then we will give up all of the Shatt to defend our claims on Kuwait to keep the whole of Iraq in the shape we wish it to be. (pause) What is the United States' opinion on this?
U.S. Ambassador Glaspie - We have no opinion on your Arab - Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait. Secretary (of State James) Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction, first given to Iraq in the 1960's, that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America. (Saddam smiles)
On August 2, 1990, Saddam's massed troops invade and occupy Kuwait.
http://www.whatreallyhappened.co...CLE5/

Glaspie's ill-chosen comments may have helped convince the dictator that Washington would look the other way if he "annexed" a neighboring kingdom. The invasion of Kuwait, however, crossed a line that the Bush Administration could not tolerate.

And Terry - look up... She's being rescued and will be okay.... My best bet is that what happened to this little girl is the same thing that happened to Arthur - they did not meet current 'breed standard' and were discarded. Little girl is said to have both a slightly too long and too soft coat - those are detriments for a shar-pei. Arthur was obviously a throwback to the bonemouth, original issue shar-pei. This is the horror of 'breeders' who puppy mill in order to get maximum bucks. If a puppy does not satisfy the requirements they are thrown out/discarded/let loose/killed. I loathe these people. They aren't actually people. They are scum.

Lost Chords: White Musicians and their Contribution to Jazz, 1915-1945
In his massive and erudite study, trumpeter and Bix Beiderbecke biographer Sudhalter makes the case that white musicians have been unfairly overlooked in the canonical histories of jazz. Sure to stir up controversy among critics, scholars and fans of "American classical music," Sudhalter's history argues that the rise of multiculturalism, for all its positive effects on society at large, has helped foster a popular misconception of jazz as an art form dominated by African-Americans.
Many background exterior shots were filmed in Chicago — including the station house, which is the old Maxwell Street police station on Chicago's West Side (943 West Maxwell Street), and the current home of the University of Illinois at Chicago Police Department.

Here's the scoop about Hill Street Blues. Buckeye nailed it, basically.
GWPDA-- The domination can also work the other way. Our female aussie mix puppy (a rescue dog) ended up being dominant over our elderly male aussie. Made his remaining life hell, basically. But you're brilliant and observant, so you'll figure it out.
The producers went to great lengths to avoid specifying where the series took place, even going so far as to obscure whether the call letters of local TV stations began with "W" (the FCC designation for stations east of the Mississippi) or "K" (signifying a station west of the Mississippi). However, Renko stated in the season one episode "Politics As Usual" (to his partner, Officer Hill) "Just drop that 'cowboy' stuff. I was born in New Jersey, (and) never been west of Chicago in my life" was one of many indications that the series took place in the Midwest or Northeast.

Chimps eat dirt. This has been known for years.
And while chimp cuisine might look more gritty than gourmet to us, it turns out our closest animal relations have a good reason for feasting on soil: It improves their health.
By studying samples of soil eaten by chimpanzees in Kibale National Park in Uganda, a research team led by Sabrina Krief of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris found that eating soil with their meals boosts the anti-malarial properties of plants the chimps eat.
Krief collected the dirt along with leaves from one of the chimps' favorite foods, the Trichilia rubescens plant. She found that when eaten alone, the leaves had no pharmacological effect, but when combined with soil, the mixture had clear anti-malarial properties.

My impression from the doggie park and various other places is that the older dog almost always dominates unless the ages are really close (in which case they might fight it out), but that this is sometimes not so if the older dog is ill. But in any case the domination thing is not very firm with just two dogs. They may take turns in being the boss, even.

Think of the babies being tossed from their incubators!
In the case of the Gulf War, the "hook" was invented by Hill & Knowlton. In style, substance and mode of delivery, it bore an uncanny resemblance to England's World War I hearings that accused German soldiers of killing babies.
... Lying under oath in front of a congressional committee is a crime; lying from under the cover of anonymity to a caucus is merely public relations."82
In fact, the most emotionally moving testimony on October 10 came from a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl, known only by her first name of Nayirah. According to the Caucus, Nayirah's full name was being kept confidential to prevent Iraqi reprisals against her family in occupied Kuwait. Sobbing, she described what she had seen with her own eyes in a hospital in Kuwait City. Her written testimony was passed out in a media kit prepared by Citizens for a Free Kuwait. "I volunteered at the al-Addan hospital," Nayirah said. "While I was there, I saw the Iraqi soldiers come into the hospital with guns, and go into the room where . . . babies were in incubators. They took the babies out of the incubators, took the incubators, and left the babies on the cold floor to die."83
At the Human Rights Caucus, however, Hill & Knowlton and Congressman Lantos had failed to reveal that Nayirah was a member of the Kuwaiti Royal Family. Her father, in fact, was Saud Nasir al-Sabah, Kuwait's Ambassador to the US, who sat listening in the hearing room during her testimony. The Caucus also failed to reveal that H&K vice-president Lauri Fitz-Pegado had coached Nayirah in what even the Kuwaitis' own investigators later confirmed was false testimony.

Without purpose there's no passion. John Edwards is ready to renew this commitment to ideals and standards all Americans can share in and be proud of.
Bring back a sense of purpose to our policy abroad, as we ask our peers in the world community to help us address the demands of this changing world.

Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against him - and us.

The location is known as a hiring hall for illegals and under the current insanity, has these crazies taking pictures of people who might hire undocumented workers, in order to rat them out to the Sheriffs office for litigation. Understand, I am actually driving on the street -past- these losers. I realise what has happened, and turn into the lot in order to go beat the hell out of the sonsofbitches - going past a Phoenix PD monitoring vehicle - but by the time I get to the location where the guys had the camera they have disappeared. Now, my vehicle is a bright yellow Jeep Cherokee - not exactly invisible - but this is like a bad re-wind from LA in the '70s when every action resulted in the LAPD taking photos of you for the potential terrorist files. Middle of Phoenix, G-D sons of bitches. I wish I'd have gotten my hands on them.

I'm sure all these sources are wrong, and you guys are right...
U.S. Ambassador Glaspie - We have no opinion on your Arab - Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait. Secretary (of State James) Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction, first given to Iraq in the 1960's, that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America. (Saddam smiles)
On August 2, 1990, Saddam's massed troops invade and occupy Kuwait.
Baghdad, September 2, 1990, U.S. Embassy
One month later, British journalists obtain the the above tape and transcript of the Saddam - Glaspie meeting of July 29, 1990. Astounded, they confront Ms. Glaspie as she leaves the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
Journalist 1 - Are the transcripts (holding them up) correct, Madam Ambassador?(Ambassador Glaspie does not respond)
Journalist 2 - You knew Saddam was going to invade (Kuwait ) but you didn't warn him not to. You didn't tell him America would defend Kuwait. You told him the opposite - that America was not associated with Kuwait.
Journalist 1 - You encouraged this aggression - his invasi on. What were you thinking?
U.S. Ambassador Glaspie - Obviously, I didn't think, and nobody else did, that the Iraqis were going to take all of Kuwait.
Journalist 1 - You thought he was just going to take some of it? But, how could you? Saddam told you that, if negotiations failed , he would give up his Iran (Shatt al Arab waterway) goal for the Whole of Iraq, in the shape we wish it to be. You know that includes Kuwait, which the Iraqis have always viewed as an historic part of their country!
Journalist 1 - American green-lighted the invasion. At a minimum, you admit signaling Saddam that some aggression was okay - that the U.S. would not oppose a grab of the al-Rumeilah oil field, the disputed border strip and the Gulf Islands (including Bubiyan) - the territories claimed by Iraq?

2) Through the dense fog of stoopit that swirls in SIRTA's head, SIRTA becomes semi-aware that Hillary Clinton opposes Obama for the nomination.
3) SIRTA, brain sparking and smoking in the fog, assumes that anyone who opposes Obama could oppose him only for the one reason SIRTA opposes him: pure filthy knuckle-dragging hatred.

Sudhalter's history argues that the rise of multiculturalism, for all its positive effects on society at large, has helped foster a popular misconception of jazz as an art form dominated by African-Americans.

The changes keep on coming in the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. Less than a month ago, former voting section chief John "minorities don't become elderly the way white people do: They die first" Tanner got canned. And today, his replacement, Christopher Coates, a veteran of the section, demoted Tanner's controversial deputy chiefs, Susana Lorenzo-Giguere and Yvette Rivera. The changes were announced in an email to voting section staff.
The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating whether Lorenzo-Giguere had filed certain lawsuits in order to get paid while living at her Cape Cod beach house. Tanner was under investigating for approving the arrangement. Both were accused by former section lawyers in complaints to OPR and the inspector general of seeking reimbursement for official travel.
Rivera has been accused of discriminating against African-American employees. She oversaw the important Section Five unit, which has the responsibility of reviewing election laws in parts of the country with a history of discrimination. Encouragingly, her replacement is Tim Mellett, one of the staff attorneys who in 2003, found that Tom DeLay's Texas redistricting plan violated the Voting Rights Act, a finding that was overruled by political appointees.
So it seems that the voting section is truly entering a new era. Whether the voting section will reassume its traditional responsibility of protecting African-American voters from discrimination is another question. Only time will tell.

What is kind of depressing about all that civil rights stuff coming from little personal bigots like Eisenhower, Truman and Johnson is that these people were hardly progressives or liberals. Johnson was the archetypical Texan bastard. Yet these people clearly saw that outdated racial policies no longer made any sense (if they ever did) and were holding the nation back. They could be predicted to an extent, and yet they would still buck a tremendously powerful trend: precisely the kind of thing political advisors exist now to prevent.

"Bingo!"
If it wouldn't have been for LBJ I'm pretty sure there would have been no civil rights bill.
Its a dumb debate. The the Civil Rights Acts (and voting rights and fair housing) were parts of the entire social movement that was the civil rights movement. The civil rights movement also produced a whole variety of social changes, for which congress bears no direct responsibility. For example, cultural changes in which public displays of overt racism were no longer socially respectable were products of the social movement in which LBJ played a side role compared to the activists.
The Clintons know this as well as anyone. Lots of dumb things get said in the heat of a campaign. This was one of them.
Bill of Rights of the Texas Constitution (Article I, Section 4): “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall any one be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being.”
"That figure excludes the $300 billion in "emergency" appropriations for Iraq."
Since September 2001, lawmakers have provided $602 billion in budget authority specifically for military and diplomatic operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other regions in support of the war on terrorism, as well as for attendant costs related to veterans’ benefits and services (see Table 2). Of that amount, about 70 percent has been allocated for the war in Iraq, CBO estimates.
http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdoc.cfm?in...dex=8690&
type=0
That testimony is dated October 24, 2007, and the total in Table 2 is $602 billion. The Iraq War began March 20, 2003.
So take 70% of $602 billion, which comes to $421.4 billion, and divide it by the number of years to that point (4.60), and that comes to an annual average of $91.6 billion in supplemental war spending.

True, but the whole idea that whites didn't get enough respect in jazz is just bullshit. Dave Brubeck has a good story about going to apologize to Louis Armstrong after Time put Brubeck's face on the cover.
Today, fortunately, jazz is more or less racially-agnostic. A lot of the best new music incorporates traditions from all over the world. And no one except Wynton Marsalis (gag) is making money.
that comes to an annual average of $91.6 billion in supplemental war spending.

"You obviously haven't bought those remedial reading lessons yet."
I love meaningless insults. It's a clear sign that my argument is about to be shredded. Let's see.
"I didn't say average. Pelosi gave aWol all $300 billion that he asked for last year no strings attached. None of it is in the "defense" budget."
Let's see what you actually said, since we're having a remedial reading lesson.
That figure excludes the $300 billion in "emergency" appropriations for Iraq.
No mention of the time frame, but since I was using annual numbers when you responded to my comment, it is implied that, for sake of making a meaningful comparison, you would be speaking in terms of annual expenditures as well. Let's address your next claim, that Speaker Pelosi gave the president $300 billion in supplementals for Iraq last year.
As passed by the House of Representatives on May 17, 2007
SUMMARY
H.R. 1585 would authorize appropriations totaling $641 billion for fiscal year 2008 for the military functions of the Department of Defense (DoD), for activities of the Department of Energy (DOE), and for other purposes. That total includes $142 billion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
So, $142 billion is the actual number, not $300 billion. Using the prior CBO estimate of the percentage allocated to Iraq specifically - since, again, this is a remedial reading lesson, and you specifically said "Iraq," not both ongoing wars - that comes to $99.4 billion for Iraq from Speaker Pelosi. This is very close to the annual average through October of last year.
I hope this remedial reading lesson was as fruitful for you, the teacher, as it was for me, the student.
Otoh, I love the rest of his family, Branford, Jason (Los Hombres Caliente), and especially his dad, Ellis.

spocko,
yup. those are two of the culprits.
1) The first lesson of real media analysis is that all foreign leaders
are consistently misrepresented as insane and always turn out to be
more reasonable (and to have been lied about) on further research.
Qaddafi wasn't cowed into submission by our beating up helpless former
states after IX/XI; he'd been actively soliciting rapprochement for
years. Kim Jong Il talks all the time about change, engagement and a
sort of "glastnost" but you never see this in the American press, where
you can read about his height and his movie collection. Right now there
is a special experimental DPRK laogai proving they can do XVIII.
century capitalism as well as the PRC.
2) Iraqi leaders and candidates going back to the 20s have promised to
acquire Kuwayt in stump speeches. This is hardly a unique Saddamite
fantasy, except maybe to the famously ignorant American diplomatic
corps.
3) The US lets conquests and coups go on all the time and its relation
to Saddam himself began with Rummy telling oldboy to go beat up Iran,
with whom Iraq has always had a still-unresolved prollem over the Shatt
al-Arab (which is effectively their southern border, which keeps
moving, and which is essential to gulf access). Improving grasp of the
waterway was a major goal for both Iras in the war in the eighties.

Actually the wear costs are about four times what is being reported.
We refer to fiscal years as being three month periods in Congressional parlance.
That includes:
1-Defense funding
2-War funding
3-Emergency funding(not counted in budget)
4-Supplemental Funding(not counted in budget)
...plus the tag-ons for almost every bill Bush threatens veto over.
That's we got into trillions short term when everyone was still saying we around 400b combined and everyone knew that was horse shit.

Bullshit article on edwards on yahoo front page.
Barack Obama, with his outsider's message of change, looks like a logical second choice for those attracted to Edwards' pledge to fight special interests and corporate greed.
Indeed, Edwards voters in Iowa favored Obama over Clinton as their second choice by a nearly two-to-one margin in caucus-night surveys. And Edwards supporters in New Hampshire reported they had a far more favorable impression of Obama than of Clinton, according election-night surveys there.
Donald Wood, a 52-year-old one-time Edwards supporter from Merrill, Wis., fits that profile. Now that Edwards' presidential prospects look dim, he's leaning toward Obama.
Jamison saying both Clinton and McCain dealt one on one with voters, allowing unlimited questions and exchange of ideas. Seen only on C-Span--or by the voters there.
The two large NH papers didn't cover the Hillary misting up episode at all, local TV very little--became national story. Jamison compares coverage of lots of male politicians who have "misted" or even cried--those pols were not questioned as to sincerity. Why was Hillary's moment questioned? Because women are "calculating"?
Jesse Jackson Jr. video where he she came to tears over her appearance, but she didn't have tears over Katrina. Jamison: Moment is a Rorshach read on commenters' relationship to Hillary.
