School Raps McCain For Using Image As Speech Backdrop Without Permission
By Kate Klonick - September 5, 2008,
Now the principal of the school is hammering McCain for using footage of the school during his convention speech without seeking the school's permission. Here's the statement from Donna Tobin, the principal...
"It has been brought to the school's attention that a picture of the front of our school, Walter Reed Middle School, was used as a backdrop at the Republican National Convention. Permission to use the front of our school for the Republican National Convention was not given by our school nor is the use of our school's picture an endorsement of any political party or view."

It seems xenophobic to me, Dirk, but I'm not a USian, so maybe I'm missing something.
well, it's really more of an issue of outsourcing than citizenship. remember that u.s. workers have (for the moment) protections that don't apply to workers in third world countries. this is an unfair disadvantage, imho. also, outsourcing reduces tax revenues from in country workers who have lost their jobs. xenophobic? maybe, but i don't think one can argue that it isn't in the interest of american citizens (which is who the gov't primarily represents) to keep jobs here.
my maximum wage/number of employees proposal is more to address the growing chasm b/t the rich and poor. it's long been a problem that a) increased productivity helps the ceo and hurts the worker and b) slashing costs by eliminating workers nearly always is profitable to large employers. in other words, the wealthy are benefiting enormously from technological advancements at the cost of workers.
now, i have no problem with an upper class and a middle class. but if a ceo actually makes MORE MONEY by keeping people employed than he does by laying them off, i'm all for it. and if that means that he makes $5mill instead of $3 mill, whereas under the old system he would have made $10mill, well, i'm ok with that.

Just as an exercise, let us say that a typical elementary school has 600 students in it. Let's say that represents 400 families. Let's say one quarter of those families would participate. Put those hundred parents in a room with white boards, markers, microphones, pencil and paper, internet access and whatever. Say to them: the government is now off your backs.

i probably should not have used the word "citizens" - the issue would be rewarding job creation/maintenance in this country, dis-incenting cutting workers or outsourcing to other countries (which when done in large numbers usually means to very low wage workers with little or no rights, protections, benefits in countries with little or no environmental rules)

The self-proclaimed "redneck" boyfriend of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's daughter will join the family at the Republican convention in Minnesota, US reports say.
...
Johnston describes himself on his MySpace page as a "f***in redneck" who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes, but "I don't want kids", according to US reports.
"I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- - - and just f - - -in' chillin' I guess," he wrote before his MySpace page was removed. "Ya f - - - with me I'll kick [your] ass."
But it is all okay, because the media can't see anything but a MILF:
Donny Deutsch, host of CNBC’s Big Idea, praised Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) as the “new creation” of the “feminist ideal” yesterday on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street. “Women want to be her, men want to mate with her. It’s as simple as that,” he said, adding that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) failed because “she didn’t put a skirt on!”:
DEUTSCH: There is the new creation that the feminist woman has not figured out in 40 years of the feminist ideal that men can take in a woman in power and women can celebrate a woman in power. Hillary Clinton didn’t figure it out. She didn’t put a skirt on! […]
She [Palin] talked about energy. Didn’t matter! Today everybody’s running in circles — we want to have her over for dinner. I trust her. I want her watching my kids. I want her laying next to me in bed. That’s the way people vote.
Host Erin Burnett suggested Deutsch could use “a four-letter acronym beginning with M and ending with F.”

A federal appeals court granted the White House a temporary delay in turning over documents to a House committee investigating the firings of nine U.S. attorneys.
A three-judge panel ordered the stay on Thursday, the deadline set by the House Judiciary Committee for White House Chief of Staff Joshua B. Bolten to provide the records. The order by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit also will probably delay the appearance of former White House Counsel Harriet Miers before the committee. She is scheduled to testify next Thursday.
Bruce Fein and Elizabeth Holtzman told the Judiciary committee that they could impeach with the evidence they have now. obstruction of justice.

Prediciton: McCain/Palin steal election, John McCain assassinated by some guy with a moose rifle moments after he takes the oath of office.
Palin's hamhanded attempts to impose Dominionist dogma on the country results in unrest. The scourging of fags, niggers, kikes, spics, people who believe in the Constitution, and other undesirables begins.
Unemployement problem solved within four years due to depopulation in the ensuing civil war.

school choice is a much a myth as everyone being rich or zero interest rates.
in a capitalist society, there must be incentives and benefits to making more money. otherwise it doesn't work. the wealthier will ALWAYS have access to better schools, nicer neighborhoods, etc etc.
which is ok.
the thing is, there has to be a REASONABLE BASE acceptable alternative. otherwise, what is happening now is exactly what happens - the "haves" gain more and more power to take more and more, and eventually the "have nots" are going to have to revolt to survive.
if there is a failing school, no parent is going to intentionally select to leave their kids there. the solution is not to let them choose some magical fairy tale, but to FIX THE SCHOOL.

The reason I blocked CNBC.
What the hell would he know about feminists?
After a young woman was murdered in Manhattan a couple of years ago, he had right wing idiots (including Ted Nugent) on his show advocating that women should not permitted out after 10:00 p.m. in order to keep them safe.

The guy was a genius as a writer and had such a clear and distinctive voice. Yeah, I'm prepared to take the usual abuse that one gets when applauding him, but if you listen to him and the words of his songs, you'll realize that this country could use a boatload of people with his mindset. What a champion for the environment. Listen to Rhymes & Reasons for example and imagine what a different America we could have if more people would think like he did.

I see The Forum mentioned upthread.
Mrs. Blues flirted a bit with that just before we met. She asked me to go with her to a meeting. It was truly creepy. The guy in charge kept "inviting" me to "attend" and wouldn't take a polite no. I had to wear his ass down with about ninety-seven NOs before he finally moved on to another cump.
Fortunately, that was the last time the soon-to-be Mrs. Blues tried that. I rescued her from all that

So much agreement here...I love BURN NOTICE, also THE CLOSER and MONK and ELI STONE so intend to lose myself in TVLAND when the election is over if it goes south...OR get more involved and make sure that OBAMA and COMPANY do what they've been saying they would because they will have their hands FULL...ALSO, it is so true that the PALIN choice is all about the incompetence and impulsiveness of McShame...but don't expect the IDIOTS in our media to be smart and diligent enough to actually do the work they MUST to inform the electorate...

It is with great sadness that I conclude the apparent failure of a great liberal hypothesis. Liberals have employed as a matter of founding assumption the idea than human society is perfectible. If, as it increasingly appears to be the case, conservative mindsets are congenital then we really will be forced into an existential struggle with ourselves. Short of isolating and eliminating the genetic strain of conservative brain disease we would be bound in an eternal struggle of building on our part and xenophobic reactionary tantrums on their part.

John McCain’s campaign prepared to accuse Democrats on Saturday of leaving behind 12,000 miniature American flags after Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday in Denver.
Boy Scouts have arrived with 84 trash bags full of bundles of flags at the site of a McCain rally scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. local time in Colorado Springs.
The campaign says the flags were recovered from Invesco Field after the Democrats concluded their convention there, and they are going to be used as part of the warm-up ceremonies before McCain takes the stage for the rally.
I liked Mad Men for a while -- it's beautifully produced -- but beginning this season I came to the conclusion that I don't like any of these people and their little world is just depressing. Hell, if I want creepy people in uncomfortable situations with no way out, I can read the newspaper.

What REALLY pisses me off (amongst the many things that piss me off) are those stupid flags people fly from their car windows. Be they US flags, or supporting the local sports team, or whatever.
The stupid things degrade your fuel economy by creating totally unnecessary drag.

Plantsman, you're right. And it's bleached way too blonde. She looked healthier and saner in the old photo -- now she's way too thin, way too brown, and her hair's way too long & scraggly. She looks like she's trying to look 25 -- but that ship sailed a long long time ago.
We were talking last night about how Cindy, Laura, & Bar probably look way down their noses at Sarah -- and you know, old Johnny's the only one of that crowd who could actually claim any sort of American ancien regime status, what with the McCains' service record going back to the Revolution.

Watch this for the funniest Sarah Palin video yet. She really has here down and the lines in the skit are pretty damn funny too. Note what she says in the beginning as an exclamation. "Alaska!"
How does one "debate" with the smug self-righteous?
I think biden needs to use the "who does this remind you of" construct:
Took a surplus and left the people with a huge debt.
Is against science.
Against woman's reproductive health.

maybe the people in Europe don't like them, but the television news portray them as sane people, which quite surprised me.
for example, not much background info on Palin, except to say she's ultraconservative.
all 3 news channels I mentioned also seem to convey the idea that Russia attacked Georgia.
I am quite surprised by all this, since I don't normally watch much television around here, but I was sick all of this week, so I was kind of forced to.

Yeah the attempt to seal the divorce documents was because reporters were combing them to find contact information and he wanted not to be bothered. Nothing about Sarah in there at all. Which doesn't disprove the NE story in and of itself it just says there's nothing to indicate that Sarah played any role at all in this guys' divorce.

When will the Palindrone answer a question?
pseudonymous in nc
I didn't watch McCain's speech, but I think he vowed "The most transparent presidential administration in history"?
His VP candidate won't answer questions about her conduct as an elected official, and the campaign will only address, if not respond to, questions about her family life.
That seems contradictory to me. If I were a journamalist I would ask the campaign about it. But I ain't been on a tire swing in twenty-odd years.

At the risk of sounding redundant, also on PBS at present is a rerun of Frontline's " Bush's War ". Anyone who hasn't seen it (not many here I'll bet) really should see it. Truly a lesson for the sorry excuses that serve as "journalists" on the MSM.

Those advances came, in large measure, from the United States. The coming decades may be different. The Large Hadron Collider, as the Geneva machine is called, is a symptom of America's decline in particle physics and Europe's rise. Many scientists and educators fear that it also signals a broader decline in scientific leadership on the part of the United States.

I didn't realize the really deep cynicism of the choice of Palin until I realized that her voter base would be praying for McCain to die so she'd take office. McCain's age and uncertain health are an intrinsic part of his campaign's appeal to the very far right of the Republican party. If he was in perfect health and 54 instead they would find the gamble far less appealing than what they got.
Yet the media are trying to put McCain's age and health off limits.
Atrios, never let the support for Republican-fascists by the nyt surprise you. Only nytwits think they're not on the McCain team while holding up the veil of liberalism to sucker in the dupes.
