Evangelist Rex Humbard dead.
His Sunday services were televised by 1953. He began with a renovated theater and eventually built the $4 million domed, 5,000-seat nondenominational Cathedral of Tomorrow in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The cathedral included velvet drapes, a hydraulic stage and a cross covered with thousands of red, white and blue light bulbs.
The top counterterrorism and national security adviser to Romney’s presidential campaign is Cofer Black, vice chairman of Blackwater USA. The Iraqis died after guards employed by the private security firm opened fire following an alleged attack on a State Department convoy under their protection. Blackwater has a lucrative contract to guard U.S. diplomats in Iraq.

Ultimately, rising seas will likely swamp the first American settlement in Jamestown, Va., as well as the Florida launch pad that sent the first American into orbit, many climate scientists are predicting. In about a century, some of the places that make America what it is may be slowly erased.
Global warming — through a combination of melting glaciers, disappearing ice sheets and warmer waters expanding — is expected to cause oceans to rise by one meter, or about 39 inches. It will happen regardless of any future actions to curb greenhouse gases, several leading scientists say. And it will reshape the nation.

HAJI OMARAN (Iraq-Iran border), Sep 21 2007 (IPS) - Sixty-year-old Khadijah Hama Khan has had to flee home again. Nothing new. "All our life we have been on the run," she says.
This time she had to flee Iranian shelling on her border village. It was not easy; she injured her leg after walking barefoot two hours.
Now she lives in a tent with several other families on the foothills of the ragged Qandil mountains separating Iraq from Iran. Hundreds of families were forced to leave their villages to take refuge in shabby tents.
Here the families cook over burning wood, sleep on worn-out rugs, and drink from a dirty creek. Some children are suffering from diarrhoea, at a time when large parts of Kurdistan region have been hit by cholera.
The tragedy of the millions of Iraqis displaced by violence in other parts of the country has overshadowed the new misery of these families. Despite their terrible living conditions, they have received almost no aid.
"This is no life we are living. We have lost everything, our crops and houses. For some nights we did not have food," said Halima Hassan, 35. "We don't even dare to go back because Iran may shell the area again."
I think they really want not to be held responsible for any of what happens in the next 4 years.

They did win. They rolled back the clock on all kinds of social and environmental legislation. They stacked the SCOTUS with wingnuts. They gutted the idea of progressive taxation. They bankrupted the treasury into the pockets of their cronies and set ticking the worst debt time bomb in our nation's history in the process. They got us into a major war that can only end badly,and have now pretty much insured that that will happen on somebody else's watch, whom they will be able to blame for it through their compliant mass media apparatus.
If we can fix half of that before they succed in the last thing and return to power, we will have been lucky.

The conservatarian line about how global warming is "unstoppable" really pisses me off. I came up with this analogy for it a while back:
[They're] a bit like a doctor who tells you that you absolutely, positively don't have cancer - no matter what the tests say - and accuses you of being a hypochondriac and an hysteric. And then, once you finally get a correct diagnosis from another doctor, he says "You're too far gone. Treatment won't help, and even if it would, you couldn't afford it."

At least 174 people in the country's West Kasai region have died so far in the current outbreak.
Symptoms of the epidemic - high temperature, bloody diarrhoea and visible haemorrhaging - were first seen in the region on 27 April.
There is no known cure for Ebola, which is fatal in around 80% of cases.

This weekend on Bloomberg Television, right-wing pundit Robert Novak ripped former Fed chief Alan Greenspan because he criticizes Bush’s economic policies while hailing those of President Clinton. Novak said that Greenspan revealed himself “as a Democrat”:
[Greenspan] suddenly emerges from the sea, naked like Venus, as a Democrat. He loves Bill Clinton, he loves tax increases, he’s dismissive of Ronald Reagan as an amiable putz, he detests the Bushes.
The Little Sociopath(TM) was actually claiming Saddam moved his WMDs to Syria the other day.
There are so many funny things about that, but what really kills me is that none of the people who believe this story ever have an explanation for why Bush doesn't come out and announce that that's what happened.
I mean, all they have to do is say, "He doesn't want to admit it, 'cause he'd be confessing to losing the war before it started." But for some reason, they won't.

Most people have yet to decide whether Gordon Brown is following a fair and just foreign policy since he came to power.
A YouGov survey for Oxfam found the jury was still out on Mr Brown's actions overseas. One in five people said they did not believe Mr Brown's overseas policy was fair and just, the same as the proportion of people who approved of his record since taking power in June. Mr Brown has been anxious to distance himself from Tony Blair's foreign policy and ministers have dropped references to the war on terror.
Oxfam Director, Barbara Stocking, said: "Public opinion is still out as far as Gordon Brown's approach to foreign policy goes.
"With UK foreign policy containing the potential to impact positively or negatively on many of the people Oxfam works with around the world, the public is waiting to see how he will take a different approach.

Honest to Hestia, we could pinpoint them when they were in Iraq, although whenever the inspectors showed up, there they weren't. You'd think we could pinpoint them in Syria and send in some investigators. If there were any WMDs. But there aren't.
You know, I always wondered how, centuries ago, people could convince themselves that there were really witches who consorted w/ Satan and rode broomsticks to all-night baccanalia, etc., etc. Believe something so incredible and believe it so strongly that they were willing to kill women for it. But the 28% have shown me that it's possible. It's possible to believe something that any idiot can tell you isn't true and to believe it so strongly that your fear makes you want others dead over it.

It's *very* good. She's quite the porker, and overweight dogz tend to not live very long. Plus, it's hurting her joints, so I want her to lose at least 10 lbs--she's down about 4 or 5 so far thanks to a new diet food and more exercise (which Daddy was reluctant to force on her since she'd spent so much of her life alone outside fending for herself).

Good for you. Henrietta was also kept outside, in a little traveling cage, for the first three years of her life. She will not be out on her own, even now. But her turning sixteen in November or so is probably partly because she has always been svelte and has had her daily run until the last year or so.

Thousands of garment workers in Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka, have defied a ban on public protests to demand better pay and conditions.
The dispute had been brewing for days, but became more serious and violent when the workers discovered that they had been locked out of their factory.
Hundreds of police, backed by army units, were deployed to disperse them.
Garments are Bangladesh's biggest export earners - accounting for 75% of total export earnings last year.

just read digby on the way that the right jumped up an down about the Moveon ad.
And I also read Jamison Foser's column at Media Matters comparing how Powell was praised to how the General Named David was praised.
What I get from both of them is pointing out just how the whole discussion for the media is about one image or word.
There was a complete message in the ad , but the headline was all they wanted to look at.
Powell's presentation in the lead up to the war was all about his stature and not the facts.
I think that we need a few more top line images to push because that is all that seems to get through to the media

The lyricism of Deleuze (and Guattari) is really rather unnerving when you look closely at it. Their descriptions of the rhizome are extraordinary in their grace.

More than 100 cities in China, including the capital Beijing, have remained clogged with traffic jams despite the country staging its first "Car Free Day" in an attempt to cut congestion and pollution.
Many countries around the world observe the day on September 22 but Saturday was the first time China had joined in in a significant way.
"It's the same as always," said Dong Yonguin, a taxi driver, in the capital. "I don't see any difference."
The situation was reported to be similar in other major cities, such as Shanghai and Wuhan, a vast industrial city in the centre of the country.

I can't believe you would buy into his actually believing in anything. The only Toby belief is he can agitate us to the point we fill his empty, sad little life with attention. A bit like a whiny little brat on time out.

The lyricism of Deleuze (and Guattari) is really rather unnerving when you look closely at it. Their descriptions of the rhizome are extraordinary in their grace.
Which I guess is one of the things that's led all these theorists to drool over the Military-Industrial Sublime, instead of seeing it as yet another unttainable dream of bureacratic mediocrities.

Well I now know that someone in the Raiders organization has heard Lee Rodgers joking about lighting a dog on fire and telling people in Louisiana displaced from Katrina to "Shut the hell up and stop their sniveling and whining"
The new Raiders QB is from LSU. Sheltered 15 people in his two bedroom apt after Katrina. He's a multi-millionaire now. Maybe he could have an educational conversation with Rodgers. That would be fun to hear.

she and my Grandpa (who turned 90 last month) still live in their bungalow and can do so thanks to my mum (and her sister), who acts pretty much as an unpaid carer for them
my mum thinks if they were to move to a Old Peoples Home it might affect them badly, because they love where they live

I think he believes this stuff. He believes a lot of other stuff that completely contradicts it, and he'll toss it out the window when it suits his purpose, but I think that he believes it while he's saying it, at least. Unlike, say, shoeannie or jack.
Not that I have any evidence of that, mind you. It's just how he comes across to me, for better or worse.

The Unattainable Dream of Bureaucratic Mediocrities.
That's a title worthy of a song by The Fall.
But, yeah--I find a great deal of worth in French theory (even Sartre's "Marxism" has its good bits). But it does tend to reside in a realm somehow divorced from the material.

What do you mean by "all over the place"?
It can help to cut the paint with mineral spirits (? never remember the U.S. term here) and to do two thin coats rather than one thick one.

For some reason it's off limits in our political discourse to mention this, but the $200 billion Bush wants for Iraq could buy a lot of that health insurance for kids he's going to veto.
There are no emergency rooms in Iraq.
Besides, helping Americans is socialism. Killing people in Iraq, destroying their country, creating 4 million refugees: that's patriotism.
We all need new dictionaries. It will solve everything.

You will have to paint it at least twice. I did three coats. To load your brush, dip it in the paint, then remove the exess on the trim. Do this to both sides of the brush several times so that the brush is "loaded" with paint, not dripping though. You just want the interior of the brush to have paint as well as the outer bristles.

Cutting it would help. High gloss will show all imperfections a lot more, though. That's why I never use it unless on something which will be washed regularly. Trim usually doesn't need that.

I've seen both "mineral spirits" and "paint thinner" side by side on the shelves. I assumed they were two different things that performed basically the same function.

When you apply the paint, make sure that you start with your brush where you haven't painted, and cut back into the wet paint. That will stop some of the marks. Let it dry well between coats too.

It's not even that it's abstract, in this case. My complaint is that where D&G are comparatively practical, people ignore it in favor of stuff that's more aesthetic/pathological...they'd rather swoon over power than analyze their attraction to it.
