I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
So, Avedon, as an overseas American, how do you feel about oversight being taken from FISA and given to Gonzales/McConnell?
Poop.

Where'd all the fugitives go?

It would not surprise me in the least to find my name on some list of overseas left-leaning Americans someday in the future, when this all comes down, years from now.
They would be scraping the barrel to find anything on me, but no matter.
Wiretapping? Wouldn't surprise me either.

Turley and Olbermann were brilliant, if sadly resigned to the disaster.
Digby kind of sums it up.
Marcellina - to answer your question from yesterday (I had to run off the the Pain Clinic for 5" needles up my spine) -
I have no idea what happened with respect to my banning. I came to conclude that Haloscan was such a piece of shit, that resetting the bans every few minutes was not worth the effort.
Glad you're here, BD fully blissed.
I hope Atrios dispatches fy when he gets home.
I'm glad Barndog's back, too. I miss Tena, but her reasons for leaving still tick me off.
I have a suspicion that fy is someone who used to post here everyday but got disgruntled and left. Just doing it to be obnoxious.
Playing Chicken With The Constitution.
I can't believe the democrats are falling for this shit again.
the privacy invasion wiretap data mining is solely for political emeies of the rethugs, not for any legitimate "national security" issues.
the war was and is for profit. In Bush's and the cabal's view american people can go piss up a rope and wait for these acts of god to leave them belly-up in the culvert (hurricanes, collapsing bridges, etc.
Everyone by now knows Richard Cheney is a dysfunctional psychotic with more than his shae of lethal impulses so it doesnt make any difference if Jay Leno or Howdy Dooty interviews him.
gonna be an interesting day at yearlykos.
and the leadership isn't coming due to obligations in Washington. and after this vote, I'm not sure it would be wise for them to show up. especially if the House kowtows and gives Bush the bill.
Fy got banned, repeatedly. Then Atrios set up the "scroll troll" trap. He's like an obnoxious house-fly at a picnic.
Seeing Jonathan Turley on Countdown is a bittersweet experience. Ya gotta love his brilliance & passion, but also, when KO has him on, it usually means an outrageous breach of The Constitution is about to occur......or it already has !
I can't believe the democrats are falling for this shit again
I can. It's what their masters tell them to do. And, we ain't them.
You're right, joe shit. Perhaps it's sad that I feel fortunate I even get to see Olbermann and Turley at all, these days.
You know that phrase, "Act as though you're living in the early days of a better nation".
Well, I think our elected officials should have started acting as though we're living in a worse one long ago.
Shouldn't they be acting as if this administraion isn't planning on leaving? Aren't all the signs pointing that way?
Instead, they keep making it easier, rather than harder to implant a totalitarian government.
.
Sparkle, it's surreal. A year from now, just before the election, there could be some major "terrorist attack", leading to some emergency ruling for the elections to be called off, and everyone here will roll their eyes and think, "hello, who didn't see THAT coming?"
I'm glad Barndog's back, too. I miss Tena
My honesty will get me in trouble, most likely, but:
I like, and have always liked (despite what he may think) Barndog. Barndog is a good person with a big heart. And a wonderful wife.
I don't miss Tena -- too much insider bullshit going on there. There are things that I saw from her on a personal level that were a real turn-off with regard to the way she felt people should be treated and the way she, herself, actually acted. She was prone to fits of anger, drama, high emotion, and she could be deliberately obtuse in an attempt to make a point in a "gotcha" sort of way. She'd beg Atrios to ban people - Incognito comes to mind, and SWR, and others, and then she went off on Atrios when he banned someone she didn't deem deserving.
Sorry, the world doesn't revolve around Tena. I'm not saying she isn't smart - she is, she made some excellent points, and she could be witty and gracious, too. Best wishes to her, but sill, too much b.s.
Listening to KO talking about Lott's statement about getting out of Washington until Sept 12th does make it sound like spooks are laying on whisper whisper whisper about terra terra terra.

Hi, Jeffraham, glad your cats could come to visit!

I can. It's what their masters tell them to do. And, we ain't them.
Barndog, fully Blissed
They're falling for this shit again because they intuitively know the next terrorist attack WILL be good news for the Bush White House. I agree and have said so for a long time.
The idea that the Nation will turn on Bush after such an event and declare that Bush failed to protect us is ludicrous. With FOXNews, CNN et al going berserk with their coverage, no matter how small the attack, Bush will claim that those who disagreed with him empowered the terrorists.
After some massive US military response somewhere Bush's ratings will go up significantly. With images of dead Americans scattered about no one will dare criticize the White House.
I fear the response to such an attack than the attack itself.

Agent Orange | 08.04.07 - 7:32 am
I'm not so sure. I think Americans are way out in front of Congressional Democrats on this shit and caving to Dumbya on this will only drive Congressional approval levels even lower.
Agent Orange, I disagree. If there is another attack I think the blame will fall on Bush and his cronies. If his ratings go up, it will be very short term. People are fed up with this administation.
interesting theory on fy, ralphie-m. I always noticed that he picks lines that no one could possibly seriously believe, but really annoying to posters here.
Marcellina -- Bush blackmailed Congress into this latest abomination. All but said there will be an attack if you don't give me what I want.
Anyone with an ounce of sense would at least contemplate the possible meanings of that.
Where is the person saying democracy is strong enough to protect itself and maintain itself at the same time?
I believe that, but there seem to be only a handful of elected officials that do or want to.
.
The thing I liked about Tena was her gravatar. But yes, she coould be willfully obtuse when trying to win an argument.
Having been a long-time target of Incog's nasty abuse, I admit I wanted him gone, too.
But Tena dissing Atrios for banning WGG for advocating violence against public officials got my goat -- the hypocrisy and other stuff bummed me out!
Draco was one for the history books, though!
Having been a long-time target of Incog's nasty abuse, I admit I wanted him gone, too.
Incog wasn't fair to you, to be sure. He was an asshole. I gave him the benefit of the doubt until he pissed me off with his racist and sexist comments, especially toward you. I don't miss him, either.
Sometimes, he could be cute and funny, when he wasn't depressed. There were times when I felt sad for him because it is clear that he is very, very troubled.
Draco was an interesting case study.
I hope he's doing better.
Sparkle, I meant to snark whatsoever. The thing is, I myself don't believe a thing this administration tells us anymore, and if such a thing should happen (elections delayed, martial law, what have you), the first thing I will be thinking is that this is all a predictable political ploy. Which is the surreal part for me, to be so far gone in my cynicism.
tried to leave a comment on the PEE plastics thing Ruth (synthetic estrogen)
Dont know if it ever stuck
I hope he's doing better.
And I hope his eyes stopped bleeding.
YAY, just read my comment on the WashJournal! saying that the GoPerverts had the behavior on the House floor of a barroom brawl, showed so little respect for the country! YAY!
Diane, like Gonzales is still pretending he's going to let the law break through. (at the homepage)
thanks, coo-coo, hopefully it stuck. Its amazing these cronies of the GoPerverts are doing the opposite of their job, which is to protect the public. It's all sell off the public, all the time.
I think it's a common human human trait to think that "what works for me must work for everyone else", but my observation of life tells me it's not always so, not even often so. That assumption is where my beef with religious missionaries begins.
In my world, there's not necessarily THE WAY, there are many ways.
that's pretty much the issue with me Marcellina
the anthrax the box-cutters the drivers license the flight schools the building 7
all this crap is adding up in my estimation as a huge ploy and I really dont like thinking in those terms ... it makes me sick
I'm grumpy.
Just sayin'.

Some clown on C-SPAN just said the Dems were communists who want to take his medicare and social security away and give it to illegal aliens. Where do these idiots get ideas like this? This is the kind of asshole who educated himself and bought his house using the GI bill and then complains about the government being on his back.
I'm grumpy.
Just sayin'.
spork_incident
Well, have Snow White make you some coffee or something.
Marcellina -- If "to" was supposed to be "no", I didn't take your comment as snark at all.
I was commenting in appreciative agreement with yours.
I'm the type that questions my own analysis continually. I think we're supposed to do that.
So, I'm willing to consider that my assessments contain a paranoid streak -- as I'm often told.
But even so, there are enough signs pointing in a totalitarian direction that we should be defending against the possibility.
.
ralphie-m, it's GoPervert talking points. They've also invented a family making $80,000 that's going to get your seniors' medicare in health insurance. Purely fictitious.
Damn, I forgot to put the filter in the coffee maker. Cowboy coffee this morning.
Damn, I forgot to put the filter in the coffee maker
Dammit, I hate that shit.
The inhumane nonsense the rat wing spouts about
"illegal immigrants" drives me mad! It's nothing more than tarted-up unXian hatred and xenophobia. Do these people really think folks want to separate themselves from their loved ones and everything they've ever known because being here is such a treat for them?
Where do these idiots get ideas like this?
Well, yesterday a gaggle of Republicans all but said just that -- called the ruckus over early-called vote on the motion in the ag bill an attempt by Dems to transfer funds from American citizens on medicare to provide human services for legal immigrants.
Of course, the motion was just to return the bill to committee to consider language banning illegals' access to public services, but that wasn't the way Boener's Gang painted it on tv.
.
plantsman, the only way I find to deal with trolls is ignore them. They have the character of playground nasties, just want to make trouble and whatever you do reasonable isn't working for that purpose.
Well, have Snow White make you some coffee or something.
She's too busy having it off with Sneezy.

Far preferable to say you're grumpy than to just act grumpy, spork!
Morning, all
To make coffee over a campfire, we threw an egg in, that congeals the grounds. Might work for floating grounds for you, ralphie-m.
How is our esteemed author this morning, DWD?
Why do most of these nuts on C-SPAN have southern accents? Plenty of nutty people in these parts but I rarely here them.
OK, here's something nice to tell, sorry I don't have a picture.
There's a large lake just south of Munich (Starnberger See) with several resort towns and bathing spots scattered around on its banks. Yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing, instead of an ice-cream truck, an ice-cream boat! The driver took it from beach to beach selling the usual stuff to the kids in the water.
And I didn't see any wrapper litter, thankfully.
She's too busy having it off with Sneezy.

I've always used a bit of cold water when it finished the perk.
I sometimes eat eggs, and drink coffee - but not mixed together.
I asked yesterday. Will it take children suffering from starvation pictured on teevee to turn this conversation around. I'm appalled we even have to discuss supplying medical care to children. Damn, this is not the country I grew up in.
Damn, I forgot to put the filter in the coffee maker.
Ack.
I think I've done every stupid coffee maker mistake.
My favourate is setting it up and getting a nice carafe of hot water.
Turns out you have to put coffee grounds in the coffee maker.
But not this morning!

Ruth, I wish I had had the forbearance to ignore Incog, but his insults were very mean and VERY personal, and they hurt. I finally learned to ignore him.
I am royally angered and appalled over FISA. And as soon as the roll-call vote (60-28, as you no doubt know) is announced, I'm posting it, and the letter-writing and phone-calling begins.

I have done that but in this case the grounds were ground very fine and I can drink it without too much trouble. Just a little cloudier than normal. I'm a survivor.
plantsman, there are more ways than just one way to get anywhere. Seems to me that that theory works universely, both in the real and the spiritual worlds.

There's a lesson there.

After I learned to eat chocolate-covered espresso beans, grounds in coffee didn't seem quite so bad.
Sinfonian,
From kos:
No Republicans voted against the bill. The following Democrats voted for it: Evan Bayh (Indiana); Tom Carper (Delaware); Bob Casey (Pennsylvania); Kent Conrad (North Dakota); Dianne Feinstein (California); Daniel Inouye (Hawai‘i); Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota); Nancy Mary Landrieu (Louisiana); Blanche Lincoln (Arkansas); Claire McCaskill (Missouri); Barbara Mikulski (Maryland); Bill Nelson (Florida); Ben Nelson (Nebraska); Mark Pryor (Arkansas); Ken Salazar (Colorado); Jim Webb (Virginia).
Senators Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Christopher Dodd and Barack Obama all opposed the bill, as did 23 other Democrats and Bernie Sanders, the independent from Vermont. Joe Lieberman voted ...well, you know how he voted.
plantsman, areligious -- When we had the first go-round of this after the Reagan "amnesty", I got called for sharing your views by a woman who'd lived in a couple of areas of the country where the stresses of immigration -- illegal and otherwise -- are truly acute.
From her I didn't sense racism or xenophobia, but I did get that resentment about paying taxes for others once she and her family had theirs.
Around here, where the population is mostly long-time-local white people, I hear the same thing. Once their personal needs have been tended to, they don't want to support levies and tax increases. They genuinely believe their taxes paid the entire costs of the direct benefits they received.
Willfully or no, it's stupid.

Sometimes it's hard for me to tell the trolls from the people with whom I simply disagree. For example, Mimi. She sometimes exhibited troll-like behaviour, and sometimes not.

Incog seemed to insult people who might otherwise be on his side of many issues. I could never understand that.

Which goes back to what I just said about many paths...

plantsman,
I don't know about esteemed but I am a little chuffed. I heard from my publisher yesterday that they are going to do a second printing of SILENT SCREAMS and I had to update the BIO for the cover. That is good: many many small publishing house books never get to the second printing. . .I am grateful for this.
This country continues to disappoint me. Why can't the democrats just laugh at Bush? He is a fool and they keep playing into his hands time after time after time. I saw some names on the senate list that voted to gut the law that I expected: but I saw a few that I did not. Jim Webb? WTF?

Yes, Molly, tell us about the semi-temperate mimi....
marcellina, mimi was nice to me, I never had experience with the other side.
Sparkle Plenty, the stupidest part of the seeing immigrants as a drain on your own pocketbook, is that illegals pay taxes - millions is taken out of paychecks - that they never reclaim. It's a source of extra $$ to the IRS. Tho the getting benefits is a nuisance, it's offset.
Bushboy's contempt for the law is so obvious and palpable it's a wonder that even his Gooper stooges in Congress don't see it or don't care about it.
I was watching David Brancaccio on the PBS program NOW and he was talking with a lawyer who is defending one of the poor bastards on Gitmo.
The Bushboy government wouldn't allow defense attorneys to interview their clients, unless the client submitted a "Guilty" plea to whatever charge the USA had made beforehand!
In Bushboy's defective mind, he's Executive, Legislature and Judge all rolled into one, just like a king.
King Fraud.
I should have said, Incog, like a very few others here, think they're right and that their way is the only way to see things correctly. Same with Tena, as was said upthread.
Myopic perception is dangerous.

It's hard to tell which is more aggravating: the chickenshit willingness to revoke the 4th amendment on demand or the sheer tactical fecklessness of a Democratic leadership that can't control the agenda of the Congress.

It would have been so easy for those chuckleheads to put up a motion that "in view of the FISA emergency Congress will not recess until it has made a full determination of needed reforms", but I guess vacation is more important than the 4th amendment.
The fact that they could be bullied into giving more authority to Gonzales after he has spent the last month openly mocking them is pretty definitive.
As Henry Fielding said, it is not true that alcohol changes a man's character. It can reveal it more clearly.

Truth serum.
The Dems have to reject the FISA Court proposal made by King Fraud, aka Bushboy.
It's the same old, same old, "Trust us! We'll respect the Constitution!"
To which I'd say, "You haven't yet and what's going to make you start now?"
Ruth, she was pretty normal early in the day, but there were some huge red flags in her later-day postings. They were so arrogant and off-the-wall that I first suspected name-stealing, but she never denied any of those rantings. I now assume there were some serious mental health issues.

Like no congressman was ever absent a day or vote while it is in session.
Pelosi could hand the reins to a trusted capo and tell 'em to stall everything... 'til she gets back.
Well I can't say anything yet about the passing of this FISA stuff. I remind myself that it is law only for 6 months. There also seems to be this underlying tone of desperation from the WHite House. So maybe there is a silver lining somewhere that we have yet to have shown to us.

Sometimes people think that their thoughts and opinions are better than they, well, really are. mimi is a case to make that point.

Unless I missed something, they haven't ceded any more authority to Gonzo and the depraved moron yet.

Having worked in legislation in MD and DC, I suspect the vote, while it's important to us, is one that these Dems would rather give up than the more vital public interest ones such as kids' health. Vote trading is how things happen. We'd never have passed the endangered species protections without that. For the recidivists, it was an easy vote trade in those days.
According to the news last night, The House is holding firm, though. It can't become law unless they pass it.

He's just a bully, that's all.

The Long Island Expressway eastbound was closed. Not some lanes, the whole thing.

I'm so glad I'm back in Brooklyn.

But last night was Fountains of Wayne and Squeeze. Glenn Tillbrook still has amazing hair, and his voice hasn't suffered at all.
Ooooooooh.
[jealous.}
Back in the day, I saw Squeeze twice. The last time was 19 years ago when I was very pregnant for Audrey. Loves me some Tillbrook.
And FOW is amazing.
Sounds good.
On a separate note, I truly hoped that you'd be able to see Shoes, which was why I was asking. I'm glad that worked out for you.
I posted this last night for the night people but if anyone would like something soft to wake to: this works.
It is Chrissie Hynde doing Tim Buckley's MORNING GLORY. Very soft and very nice - some of the music Steve sent me.

HBK, I learned from having my wallet ripped off by a grocery store duo - while checking out inattentively, it was taken from my purse - not to carry credit cards in something so appealing.
Thanks, Vicki! I'm very excited.
I suspect I'm sleeping at the airport, though. My cousin has invited me to stay, but I have to catch a plane home at 5:45 am.
I had no interaction with incog, but your descriptions of him make him sound a bit like the "only gay" in that Welsh village, in "Little Britain."

Let's recall that Food Stamps are a Dept of Agriculture program - it's welfare for farmers at its simplest. And if we don't want black babies starving in Darfur, how can we countenance brown babies going hungry here?
Molly I had no idea we were going tonight.
I guess I should e-mail watertiger.
(p.s. I would love to see you & Thers plus whoever. The more the merrier.)
Should we all send Barndog our snail mail addresses?
Well, I rolled out of bed early to get to the farmers market before 8 am, but as per usual, if I hang out here, I hang out here...forgive my meaningless about Incog, mimi, et al.

Tom, if you earn under the exemption (currently something like $80,000) you don't have to pay any taxes to the US, but you still have to file (otherwise how will they know you're under the exemption?). I have colleagues who know this but just shrug it off. But I also know someone who was caught big time for failure to file over many years.
HBK,
I expect it would just be me, since Thers would have to babysit. (Mother Thersites was a bit tetchy about the traffic situation.) We were thinking about vlogging, but I think that had better wait. watertiger said her other possible plan was meeting with you and seeing the movie.
She's also continuing her tour of Brooklyn Atriot sites today, hanging out with Brooklyn Girl.
I think w wants the law because it retroactively legalizes what he has already committed.
Ruth the credit cards were the least of it.
I stopped them before any real damage was done.
But like a fool I had my SS card in there. That's what I'm worried about.
Let that be a lesson to you boys & girls. Keep your SS card in a safe place.
I already got my driver's license replaced with a temp.

Speaking of corn - the wife's folks lost the early soybeans, due to frost. So, they replanted corn to make up for the loss.
This summer, lack of rain has left them around 6-7" to the negative side. Said corn is in severe danger of being a total loss.
Which would totally fuck them financially. Tough to think of bankruptcy again, in your mid 70's.
The biggest story of our lives is happening right now in the markets and it is unrecognized. Since the days of the Malaise the economic Morning in America has been driven by credit and the Credit Bubble.
Get ready to live some real history here folks.

<i>I think w wants the law because it retroactively legalizes what he has already committed.</i>

and can any fucking dem get onto a mic and explain just what the fuck it means to 'give the president the law he wants' or to 'give the president a law he can sign'? cause that sounds like rubber-stamp congress to me - it is abominable to a true democracy
Diabetics can't eat corn? This I did not know.)
Yes, they can - ase evidenced by my wife's love of fresh sweet corn. It's what you eat with it that matters.
All about balance.
oh, BrnDog, they pro'ly used the crop insurance to pay for corn seed. ugh. Caning will help. sorry for the humor.
Diabetics are steered away from canned corn, because it's starchy. Fresh corn we can have, within our carb limits - and it's such a summer thing, who could resist?
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo’s campaign stood by his assertion that bombing holy Muslim sites would serve as a good “deterrent” to prevent Islamic fundamentalists from attacking the United States, his spokeswoman said Friday.
I suggest we also take out the vatican, Oral Roberts University, a few dinosaur parks and Lynchburg, Virginia.
Someone last night said bombing Mecca and Medina would play precisely into bin Laden's hands. Tancredo's a idiot troglodyte!
spinoza, Tancredo would be more inclined to throw in a few border towns, like say, San Diego.

Self-watering planter. You make 'em outta Rubbermaid totes.
I'll get you a couple links. Hold on if you're interested.
Another interesting fact; tobacco has one of the highest protein levels in its leaves of any plant. Properly cultivated, makes ideal biofuel.
I might use one, but right now I'm mad at Rubbermaid. I bought some of their plastic ice-cube trays, they started falling apart in less than 3 months.

There's a commercially made product, but it's more fun and way cheaper to DIY.
Especially when you have a twenty year old kid to do most of the drilling and cutting.
The "tar" comes when dried tobacco is burned, it might contain useful volatiles for fuel.
Jen,
When I lived in FL, I let a couple of tomato plants go, just to see what would happen. One grew to over 8 feet, but no fruit at that size, obviously.
I believe all of our busses are Propane diesel now. They were experimenting with it back when I was in college.

up to a point - in non-deterministic varieties, you keep getting yield, but they usually are staggered...in my favorite, the roma-pear deterministic variety, you can have a 1 foot tall plant give you 20 lbs of tomatoes

State decides to secure electronic voting machines
Secretary of State orders more precautions be taken against tampering, and withdraws support of the InkaVote Plus machines used in Southern California.
By Jordan Rau and Hector Becerra, LATimes Staff Writers
August 4, 2007
SACRAMENTO -- Expressing concern that several brands of electronic voting machines used in California were vulnerable to tampering, Secretary of State Debra Bowen late Friday ordered new security protections be added and limited the use of two types of machines that were to be used in next year's elections in several Southern California counties.
Bowen also withdrew state approval of the InkaVote Plus machines used in Los Angeles County, saying that the machines' maker, Election Systems and Software, had failed to submit its equipment to her office in time to analyze its vulnerability to hacking.
She said her office would examine the InkaVote machines and expressed optimism that they would win approval in time to be used in next year's elections, but did not say what would happen if the machines failed her tests....
Her announcement, made just nine minutes before a midnight deadline, was condemned by the head of the state's county registrar's association, Contra Costa Registrar Stephen Weir.
...The security requirements Bowen imposed include: reinstalling the software before the Feb. 5. election to ensure it has not already been tampered with; placing special seals at vulnerable parts of the machines to reveal tampering; securing each machines at the close of each day of early voting; assigning a specific election monitor to safeguard each machine; and conducting a complete manual count of all votes cast.
Sequoia issued a statement early Saturday morning expressing "disappointment" at Bowen's actions. "Electronic voting systems have never been successfully tampered with in an actual election," Sequoia spokeswoman Michelle M. Shafer said. "That same statement cannot be made about lever machines and paper-based voting systems throughout our nation's history."
It's a start.

"Al-Qaida is not going on vacation this month," said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. "And we can't either until we know we've done our duty to the American people."
"I hope that there are no attacks before we are able to effectively update this important act," said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee.
(This is why they are folding. They are running like cowards fearful that they will be blamed for an attack unless they join the thugs in peeing on the constitution)

Landrieu and Pryor need to face a primary challenge a la Joe Lieberman!!
enough!!!
plantsman, you need to roast a ton of garlic and preserve it in olive oil. Any kind of vegetable stir fry you do, just toss in some roasted garlic at the end.

There is nothing, nothing that you can win with bombs. I'd argue, for instance, that World War II wasn't won until George Marshall did it, and the postwar administration of Japan did it. The Allies in World War I thought they'd won, but they hadn't, really, and on 1 September 1939 and for a few years thereafter some of the more thoughtful among them began to reconsider.
Until justice and economic opportunity prevail in the Middle East, and are more associated with the United States and Israel than Abu Ghraib and the brutal, indiscriminate use of force are, nothing, but nothing, will be won in the 'war against terror'.

Until justice and economic opportunity prevail in the Middle East, and are more associated with the United States and Israel than Abu Ghraib and the brutal, indiscriminate use of force are, nothing, but nothing, will be won in the 'war against terror'.

Immediately after the 9/11 attacks there was some editorializing about "why they hate us". Within a few weeks the WH and neoCons inverted the story so that 'they' hate us because "they hate our freedom" and "everything's different" shit.

fablous weather, I just hope its like this next Saturday with Mir coming down (I've been looking forward to it for months, ticking off the days till my beau arrives and whats cool is he is in no rush to head back, so lots of time together), gonna be nice taking him a long to my grandpa's 90th birthday afternoon tea, having a plus one and not being a gooseberry.
I thought they would be issues(my grandparents view of muslims is informed by the Daily Telegraph) but they seem pretty excited about meeting Mir (I think it helps he is doing a PhD)

The 'Islamic terrorist' has by now become a staple of movies and TV fiction with all their accustomed simplistic nonsense. The constant drumbeat of the Bushist Republicans, for whom the continuous aggrandizing of power in the hands of an unaccountable executive seems the raison d'etre of existence, has so distorted the debate that actions that might actually identify, much less address, the causes of the problem are marginalized, and men who casually suggest the bombing of Mecca (Tancredo), that the Iraq war was worth doing because it was therapeutic (Cohen) or even simply because we could and we needed to show 'em (Friedman), even that God is on our side even if he punished us on 9/11 for our sins (Falwell), aren't wrapped in the opprobrium they so richly deserve and promptly carted off the public stage.
It'll take political leadership the likes of which the world rarely sees to deal with this.

She'd beg Atrios to ban people - Incognito comes to mind, and SWR,
I'm pretty late to this discussion, but she begged Atrios to ban SWR? Whether or not you liked SWR's point of view, I thought(s)he brought a lot of well-reasoned, well-informed material to these discussions. Begging Atrios to ban SWR is pretty intolerant. Incog, on the other hand, was a one-trick pony. That got really annoying after a while.
failed bombing, floods and now this - UK authorities are doing "everything in our power" to eradicate foot-and-mouth disease after it was found at a farm near Guildford, Gordon Brown has said.
Speaking after a meeting of the government's emergency Cobra committee, Mr Brown said experts would work "night and day" to establish its source.
A UK-wide ban on the movement of all livestock is in place after cattle at the farm were found to be infected.
Some 60 animals are being culled at the Surrey farm after testing positive.

The Dems are afraid ... very afraid.
If they don't give the depraved moron what he wants on FISA, the Surge, et. al., and there is a big terrorist attack in America, Bushboy and the Goopers will scream American blood is on the hands of the Democratic Party and their promising elective chances in 2008 will be gone.
Considering all the blood that Bushboy and the Goopers have spilled in Iraq, it's hardly a rational or sensible claim, but the MSM, led by FUX NEWS will repeat it over and over.
So the Dems are afraid, but they shouldn't be.

Gotta clean out a couple of beds, and finally get the deadwood out of the bougainvillea. Need to prune back the Lady Banks along the front wall, and if I'm wise, I should prop up the pomegranate tree - it's bearing so heavily it's being pulled over.
Coffee first.
Pomegranates like Phoenix, iirc.

The prospect of a mortgage debt crisis loomed yesterday after the number of home repossessions in the UK soared by 30% to an eight-year high as households struggled to keep up with mortgage payments in the face of higher interest rates.
With the Bank of England expected to increase borrowing costs again before the end of the year, analysts warned that repossessions could surge even further.
The first half of this year saw 14,000 properties repossessed, a 30% rise on a year ago, the Council of Mortgage Lenders said. This is the highest level since 1999 and equivalent to about 77 homes a day.

We've got troubles of our own, Moon.
American Home Mortgage Investment Corp., a U.S. lender that halted operations yesterday, intends to file for bankruptcy, according to two employees told of the decision by managers in meetings.
Tim Neer, a senior officer, told about 200 employees at a facility near the Melville, New York, headquarters today that the company will declare bankruptcy, said Shawn Nuzzo, a loan sales coordinator. Employee Paul Horn said about 75 people in the information-technology department were told the company will file for bankruptcy by Aug. 6.
American Home would become the second-biggest U.S. mortgage lender to seek bankruptcy protection this year and the biggest that caters to people with good credit. The company this week stopped making loans and fired 90 percent of its 7,000 employees after a surge in borrower defaults prompted investment banks to quit extending credit. American Home issued almost $60 billion of loans last year from 550 offices in 47 states.
Later, batz. The day begins.
