In yet another potential last minute rule change, “the Bush administration appears poised to push through a change in U.S. Forest Service agreements that would make it far easier for mountain forests to be converted to housing subdivisions.” Though President-elect Obama has opposed the move, Mark E. Rey, the former timber lobbyist who heads the Forest Service, has signaled that he intends to finalize the plan before Obama’s inauguration. As a presidential candidate, Obama vocally criticized Rey’s plan while campaigning in Montana, calling it “outrageous.”

A family in Beit Lahiya said that an Israeli artillery shell had hit a house there, wounding many people. Ambulances could not immediately reach
them because of the resulting fire, they said.
Meanwhile, Israel Air Force warplanes stepped up airstrikes on Gaza, bombing the main road that runs throughout the strip in three different spots, making travel from one side of the Strip to the other close to impossible.
Palestinian health officials in Gaza reported Saturday evening that 13 people had been killed in another IAF bombing of a mosque in Beit Lahiya. They said that 26 Palestinians had died in IAF raids after dark Saturday.

Israel Needs its Usual Friends to Help Again
Daily Star Editorial
Israel needs help again. It needs reasonable people who share the faith of most of Israel's citizens to rescue them - and their Arab neighbors - from a degenerate political class that is leading all of us to disaster. Specifically, it is moderate Jewish Americans who can be the most helpful by taking back control of the so-called "Israel lobby" from the zealots who have made it the swamp of militaristic racism that it is. http://

Th Amazon reviews of that Pat Boone album are hysterical. Just one more:
This is beyond bad, beyond atrocious, beyond -- words fail me. It is impossible to describe, other than to say that it's metal like you never heard before and hope never to hear again. It's metal that your mother would like - that's how bad it is. And yet, it's utterly compelling. No head-banging, long-haird, stuck-in-the-70's metalhead should miss this CD. I mean, Dio duets with Pat Boone - is that a disturbance in the Force, or what? Like an auditory train wreck, you really won't be able to tear your ears away from it (at least the first time). And then you can give it to your very sweet 80-year-old mom.

"Last Train To Clarksville" Is a great song.
I saw an interview with them once, and they said that was their anti-war song. "It was subtle...so subtle nobody got it." Poor guys.
I hated that song almost as much as I hated Harry Chapin's "Taxi" and Fogelberg's "That Auld Lang Syne."

Barbara Mandrell, a country music star, suffered multiple injuries tonight in a two-car headon collision that killed the driver of the other car, the authorities said. Two of the singer's children were also injured in the crash.
Miss Mandrell, 35 years old, who suffered a leg fracture, a concussion and cuts, underwent surgery and was in stable condition at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, said Gil Cawood, a hospital spokesman.
Miss Mandrell's 14-year-old son, Matthew Dudney, was admitted to Hendersonville Hospital with cuts, and a daughter, Jaime Dudney, 8, was treated and released.
