Looks like they got to Maliki already:
Iraqi PM disputes report on withdrawal plan
But a spokesman for al-Maliki said his remarks "were misunderstood, mistranslated and not conveyed accurately."
Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said the possibility of troop withdrawal was based on the continuance of security improvements, echoing statements that the White House made Friday after a meeting between al-Maliki and U.S. President Bush.

Darn. Late to the party again.
Jeffraham, you've got to find another TV addiction.
Might I suggest Judge Judy? I hate her politics, but she does crack me up 
I enjoy Cops when they film it in the Tampa area. It's fun to see if you know the area they're arresting someone in.
"I hate her politics, but she does crack me up"
DON'T PEE ON MY LEG ANT TELL ME IT'S RAINING!!
Terry C, I know this sounds truly horrible, and reveals what a rotten soul I am, but I did not have much sympathy for the four contractors who were killed early on in Iraq.
I don't call this (3) comments. Haloscan is a liar & a cheat!
Sallyh: Might I suggest Judge Judy? I hate her politics, but she does crack me up
I can't help it. I'm a guy who should've been arrested several times, and I've managed to avoid it. So, for me, it's a somewhat sociological in an amateur sense.
.
Toons, we too have this little tiny space in the laundry room that made the chore difficult. Our hookups actually were a royal pain in the ass.
Sallyh - We haven't actually done the hook-ups yet. All my pain has really come from man-hanling the old one out of the closet.
Only one good thing has come from today -- I found myself in Home Depot standing about 10 feet from Shelley Berman, who's about two years older than my Dad. Is this a great town or what?
Jeffraham, I could see how Cops could be entertaining...after a couple six packs. Which, it seems, many of the arrestees in the show have selected as their activity prior to their crime
Maliki might have trouble unringing that bell
Toons, it's unique. I love this schizophrenic, difficult, but fantastic city.

Funny thing is, they'd be just as did whether you had sympathy for them or not.
It doesn't matter what we DFHs think, one way or another.

"I did not have much sympathy for the four contractors who were killed early on in Iraq."
what bothered me was the idea conveyed by the "libbrul meeja" that they were "just there to help" and were killed by the ungrateful iraqis.
that I had trouble with.
Uncle B, that was problematic for me as well.
What bothered me most was that our soldiers were getting killed, for about a tenth of the pay that the contractors were receiving, and no one was remarking on them.
hi, buckeye, how do you do the waving thingy?

Fuck you, Haloscan.
I'm for real, Sally. I know a guy who is just as southern as southern can be and that's one of his favorite jokes. Most common last words of a Florida cracker? "Hey, y'all, watch this!"
Damn, these new light bulbs attract more spiders than the old one.
I know this sounds truly horrible, and reveals what a rotten soul I am, but I did not have much sympathy for the four contractors who were killed early on in Iraq.
Sallyh
Meh.
You can call 'em "contractors" but they're still "mercenaries" who voluntarily risk their lives for the big bucks.
what a friendly little chap!
You know what I resent? I resent a cabal of idiots who put those contractors into that situation to begin with, resulting in our having to consider whether we have or have not compassion for them in their deaths.
thanks, buckeye.
Let me try this again:
But it did indicate to me how much my own humanity had been compromised in these times.
No, not at all.
I have no doubt that you've paused many times to think about the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who have been killed thanks to the glorious US adventure. Which is appropriate. Sympathy of contractors? Meh.

Exactly. All the times I should have been arrested, it would have been for DUI, when I was young and stupid.
Fortunately, I never caused any accidents, nor had any on my own. Still, it's shameful.

Deacon Blues-- I was posting that last night. My favourite part:
Meanwhile, in another bizarre development in the case, a coroner on the picturesque San Juan Islands in the Strait of Georgia disclosed that a footless body was discovered 16 months ago on the eastern shores of Orcas Island, a northern island in the American chain.
But despite the torrent of publicity over the five severed feet in recent weeks, coroner Randall Gaylord said he did not advise B.C. investigators about the discovery until Thursday.
"I certainly could have made an inquiry sooner. No question about that," said Mr. Gaylord, "but I never knew enough about the missing feet, what size or type of shoe they were in, or whether they were men or women.
"And who do you contact, and what are you going to find out?"
A possible connection between the detached feet found in British Columbia and the Orcas Island footless body came to him just recently when he was reading a newspaper article about the case. "There was a report of shoes with no bodies. And I thought, 'Gee, I have a body with no shoes. I wonder if they could be related,' " Mr. Gaylord recounted.
I'm sorry, guys, but I'm still chortling over the fact that two of my bestest peoples in the world have come back alive to me - one was at terible risk from vile disease, and the other had simple disappeared. And both - not ded!

The night before, two brothers had gotten into a drunken brawl and one knifed the other, then he'd dumped him in the lot. The boards were to mark off the area where the body was found.

OTTAWA -- It wasn't too long ago that Bill Kuebler was as Red State as they come: a family man, a born-again Christian, a successful business lawyer, a political conservative with an unblemished record of voting Republican.
Today, the 37-year-old Navy lawyer is still as committed a Christian as ever, but he spends his time fiercely defending an alleged radical Muslim murderer - Canadian Omar Khadr.
Instead of working at a lucrative civilian practice, Lieutenant-Commander Kuebler is publicly blasting the U.S. government for what he describes as a sham system in Guantanamo, and Ottawa for failing to fight to bring Mr. Khadr home.
In the process, he has sometimes incurred Washington's wrath. He has also caused Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative government much discomfort...
But behind Lt.-Cmdr. Kuebler's impassioned defence of his client are contrasts so stark they border on contradiction. Here is a conservative Christian defending an alleged radical Muslim; a U.S. military man representing someone accused of killing a U.S. military man; a lawyer who attacks the Guantanamo Bay military commissions system as an outright sham even as his client is one of the very few detainees not to boycott that system.
That mindset has taken the lawyer from a lucrative civil litigation career in the U.S. to the most controversial prison in the world, taking on a case he freely admits cannot be won in a Guantanamo courtroom, regardless of the evidence.
But as an October trial date looms for Mr. Khadr, the Navy lawyer still believes that with enough public pressure, Ottawa will relent and ask for the detained Canadian's return. To achieve that goal, Lt.-Cmdr. Kuebler has his sights set on changing the minds of those Canadians who are most like him: committed conservatives.
what if you're a lucky man?

Westin seemed a bit pricey to me, 5th avenue is now Hotel Monaco Portland, their cheapest rate is the same as one of the Marriot's. I'm also looking at B&B's.
Buckeye, it is now Hotel Monaco and I recommend it. Last night I plugged 4 nights into expedia.com and the rate was $119, amazingly cheap. On Monday I'll finish calling hotels to see if we can get a deal..Monaco is on the list. I've stayed there and it is centrally located.

Department of Civil Disobedience: Google Should Deliver Its YouTube Data to Viacom in Paper Form
Erick Schonfeld
The recent court order directing Google to hand over data to Viacom about every YouTube video ever watched strikes many people as an absurd overreach of the law into the privacy of anyone who has ever used YouTube (i.e., almost everyone on the Internet). Google should definitely keep fighting the ruling if it can. But if it can’t, perhaps it should comply with it in a creative way. The data in question are data logs containing the records of every video watched on YouTube, by whom, and at what times. The court is also ordering that Google hand over all videos that have ever been taken down for any reason. The logs alone take up 12 terabytes. Google should print them out and deliver them on paper.

Taco Bell's Five Ingredients Combined In Totally New Way
October 14, 1998 | Issue 34•11
LOUISVILLE, KY–With great fanfare Monday, Taco Bell unveiled the Grandito, an exciting new permutation of refried beans, ground beef, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and a corn tortilla. "You've never tasted Taco Bell's five ingredients combined quite like this," Taco Bell CEO Walter Berenyi said. "The revolutionary new Grandito, with its ground beef on top of the cheese but under the beans, is configured unlike anything you've ever eaten here at Taco Bell." The fast-food chain made waves earlier this year with its introduction of the Zestito, in which the beans are on top of the lettuce, and the Mexiwrap, in which the tortilla is slightly more oblong.

Back in Virginia, they found on an old map a grave of Virginia Dare, which happens to be the name of the child born at the "lost" Roanoke colony. People were all worked up about the map-- did it mean that the colony wasn't so lost afterall?
People investigated. Turns out Virginia Dare was also the name of a 17th century race horse of some renown. Worthy of burying, and worthy of putting the grave site on a map.
The, boogyman ,bogeyman bogyman, boogieman, boogey monster, or boogeyman, is a folkloric or legendary ghostlike monster often believed in by children. The bogeyman has no specific appearance, and conceptions of the monster can vary drastically even from household to household within the same community; in many cases he simply has no set appearance in the mind of a child, but is just an amorphous embodiment of terror. Bogeyman can be used metaphorically to denote a person or thing of which someone has an irrational fear. Parents often say that if their child is naughty, the bogeyman will get them, in an effort to make them behave. The bogeyman legend may originate from Scotland, where such creatures are sometimes called bogles, boggarts, or bogies.

In some Midwestern states of the United States, the bogeyman scratches at the window. In other places he hides under the bed or in the closet and tickles children when they go to sleep at night. It is said that a wart can be transmitted to someone by the bogeyman.[1] Bogeymen may be said to target a specific mischief – for instance, a bogeyman that punishes children who suck their thumbs – or general misbehavior.

The word bogey is most likely derived from the Middle English bogge/bugge (also the origin of the word bug). The words are linked to many similar words in other European languages, which may be cognates; bögge, böggel-mann (English "Bogeyman") (German), Buse (Nynorsk), bòcan, púca, pooka or pookha (Irish Gaelic), pwca, bwga or bwgan (Welsh), puki (Old Norse), pixie or piskie (Cornish), puck (English), bogu (Slavonic)

That article will break your heart.
The Spanish Bogeyman is known as El Cuco, or, more often in Spain, El Coco (also named in some parts of Spain as El Ogro), a shapeless figure, sometimes a hairy monster, that eats children that misbehave when they are told to go to bed. Parents will sing lullabies or tell rhymes to the children warning them that if they don't sleep, El Coco will come and get them. The rhyme originated in the 17th century has evolved over the years, but still retaining its original meaning. The term is also used in Spanish-speaking Latin American countries. The aforementioned Brazilian "Bag Man" also exists here in the form of the Hombre del Saco or Hombre de la bolsa, who is usually depicted as a mean and impossibly ugly and skinny old man who eats the misbehaving children he collects.

Who are also to blame for sexual disatisfaction, your neighbor with the better car, the couple who seem happily married, etc etc etc
So the Washington Post identifies Michael Leahy as the writer picked to write biographical articles on Obama. What's his talent? Well he wrote a book about Michael Jordan's comeback. A review of his book
Leahy quotes Kierkegaard and fancies himself as a writer: he also employs the cheapest tricks of the gossip columnist’s art. A single point demonstrates both his incontinent malice and his wincing ineptitude: in the book’s pages Jordan scarcely ever said anything. Instead he chortled, seethed, cackled, fumed, barked, blurted or mumbled. He had only one facial expression, a smirk.

The term flip-flopping doesn’t do justice to Mr. McCain’s self-contradictory economic pronouncements because that implies there’s some rational, if hypocritical, logic at work. What he serves up instead is plain old incoherence, as if he were compulsively consulting one of those old Magic 8 Balls.

Ms. Fiorina, the ubiquitous new public face of McCain economic policy, adds nothing to the mix beyond her incessant display of corporate jargon, from “trend lines” to “start-ups.” Before she was fired at Hewlett-Packard, its stock had declined 50 percent during her five-plus years in charge. She missed earning projections — by 23 percent in one quarter — much as she now misrepresents both the Obama and McCain records. This month she said Mr. McCain wanted to require insurance plans to cover birth control medications along with Viagra, when in fact he had voted against it.

I guess the threats worked?
Dr. Ali al-Dabbagh, a spokesman for the Iraqi government, issued a statement saying Mr. Maliki’s statement had been “as not conveyed accurately regarding the vision of Senator Barack Obama, U.S. presidential candidate, on the timeframe for U.S. forces withdrawal from Iraq,” but it did not address a specific error. It did soften his support for Mr. Obama’s plan and implied a more tentative approach to withdrawing troops. More of the statement, which came from the U.S. military’s Central Command press office:
Al-Dabbagh explained that Mr. al-Maliki confirmed the existence of an Iraqi vision stems from the reality with regard to Iraq security needs, as the positive developments of the security situation and the improvement witnessed in Iraqi cities makes the subject of U.S. forces’ withdrawal within prospects, horizons and timetables agreed upon and in the light of the continuing positive developments on the ground, and security that came within the Strategic Plan for Cooperation which was laid and developed by Mr. Maliki and President George Bush.
Notice that the correction to the IRAQI Premier's statement was issued from US CENTRAL COMMAND.

Popping in to see what negative stories are being posted. Have to make a comment about an earlier post re: gays in the military.
Personally, I would prefer having no “GAY soldiers”.
The same way I don’t want “GAY policemen”.
Or “GAY bartenders”. Or “GAY astronomers”.
What’s wrong with just having soldiers, or policemen, or bartenders, or astronomers?

Once again, Bushworld takes us through the looking glass.
Bob Barr, who's running for president as the Libertarian Party nominee, has arrived at Netroots Nation. He was attending the RightOnline conference, which is here in Austin as well. He's been walking around, meeting people and speaking openly with anyone who'd like to speak to him. It's a strange thing because here's the guy who led the impeachment of Bill Clinton but he's very strong on civil liberties, especially FISA and he may ultimately help elect Barack Obama by pulling key votes away from John McCain in certain key states. Sometime guerilla journalist dday confronted Barr and asked him if he thinks the impeachment of Bill Clinton served as a deterrent to runaway executive power. Barr laughed and said "no, of course not." Barr is now down in the main hall attending a panel on "The races we're not watching."

SYDNEY (Reuters) - At most outdoor festivals the longest queues are generally for the portable toilets and bar but at World Youth Day in Sydney, the Catholic Church's version of Woodstock, one of the biggest queues is for confessing sins.
With some 300,000 young Catholic pilgrims attending WYD from July 15-20 the Church is staging the world's largest confessional, with more than 1,000 priests at anyone time hearing sins and dispensing penance at 250 locations.
Hopefully it's the priests doing the confessing...

How many governments has Bushie brought down?
By SOMINI SENGUPTA
Published: July 20, 2008
NEW DELHI — A deepening friendship with the Bush administration has pushed the elected government of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the brink of its own demise. Now, with a confidence vote in Parliament scheduled to begin this week, the government’s scramble to stay in power and its rivals’ efforts to oust it have set off an intense and often brazen round of political bargaining.

Shared Humanity,
I hope you had a lovely day and your son has an interesting time. I have often thought of our connections to each other are ripe for a deeper consideration.
Communication has allowed us to grow closer to people like us - this small group of people here is a perfect example, though we often fight and argue, we are so much alike it if amazing. In our personal worlds, finding people like us is extremely rare if possible at all - but is that really necessary?
When we have limitless communication and identification with people everywhere does it really make is happier or better? I really do not know the answer and I am not sure there even is an answer.
People fell in love when there were only 100 people or less in the community. Their love was strong and their bonds tight in spite of the lack of selection. Why? And yet we have limitless possibilities and our rates of divorce are as high or higher?
And do we really need to know of the 32 story crane collapsing in Houston yesterday? It is a tragedy for the people there and the riggers on the machine but it should not really trouble me in Muskegon. Nor should the fifty thousand bikers visiting Muskegon this day and boogeying down to Grand Funk at the Lake tonight to anyone not here.
But that isolation your son is going to enjoy or hate is amazing. I would like to try it. Truly.

David,
I reached this same conclusion about McShame some time ago now. He seems a man absolutely bereft of belief. As nearly as I can tell he has no conscience or moral beliefs whatsoever.
On a personal level it is obvious that his family means nothing to him. Returning from Vietnam he saw his disfigured wife and immediately threw her (and his children) to the side in favor of the rodeo queen with the big inheritance. That is not an indicator of anything other than a weakness. A weakness is not something, it is a lack of something.
He tried to assign himself the mantle of Barry Goldwater and Goldwater himself rejected him. He continued using his legacy even though he had rejected him. Again, this is a negative and not an indicator of anything other than a lack of something.
And in incident after incident you do not see him standing for anything. You see him wavering and backing down. Giving up positions for political and personal expediency is not a strength, it is a weakness.
And yet, he is constantly presented as a man of virtue and great personal strength. If he is the personification of virtue and strength then the ideals that I envision must be something completely different for my vision is one of self-less belief and personal sacrifice: two things that from all I have read, are anathemas to McShame.
I guess maybe when we look at his advertisements it might be useful to remember that in propaganda is usually best to use the principle of inoculation. Instead of arguing over nuance the communicator simply takes a lie and presents it as truth.
Instead of arguing about whether John McShame is a hero or has great personal strength as an attribute, simply present him every time as someone who does. Pretty soon, if the myth is never confronted, the identity will stick. If, however, someone has a pin to pop the balloon. . . .

Wow. NYT:
THE credit crisis has exposed and worsened a dangerous and deepening divide in this country between a vast number of average borrowers and a fairly elite slice of corporations, banks and executives enriched by the mortgage mania.
Borrowers who are in trouble on their mortgages have seen their government move slowly — or not all — to help them. But banks and the executives who ran them are quickly deemed worthy of taxpayer bailouts.
On the ground, this translates into millions of troubled borrowers, left to work through their problems with understaffed, sometimes adversarial loan servicing companies. If they get nowhere, they lose their homes.
Taxpayers, meanwhile, are asked to stand by with money to inject into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored mortgage finance giants, should they need propping up if loan losses balloon.
The message in this disconnect couldn’t be clearer. Borrowers should shoulder the consequences of signing loan documents they didn’t understand, but with punishing terms that quickly made the loans unaffordable. But for executives and directors of the big companies who financed these loans, who grew wealthy while the getting was good, the taxpayer is coming to the rescue.
D00ds!
I just met 10 New York Atriots and they even talked to me. I feel so accepted.
That's awesome, Hecate. I just can't believe the NYT printed it.

from the NYT:
In earlier years, actually being repaid by borrowers was crucial to lenders. Now, because so much consumer debt is packaged into securities and sold to investors, repayment of the loans takes on less importance to those lenders than the fees and charges generated when loans are made.
In other words: a scam. A Ponzi scheme. A pyramid scheme. A financial house of cards. Gee, who do we bailout first?

http://www.eschaconnw.blogspot.com/
He lost 4 aircraft? Really?
5, but one of them wasn't his fault. His nickname was "Ace", and that's a fact.
From a post at Free Republic:
I wasn't aware that Senator McCain was anything but a war hero, until Mechadave started attacking McCain's flying record. Now it turns out, that McCain was at the controls of five United States Navy planes that either crashed, or were somehow wrecked. Therefore, now that he wishes to be President, the gloves have to come off. He can't be a Sacred Cow, anymore, based just on the fact that he was captured, tortured, and imprisoned by the North Vietnamese. He can't use "war hero" to stifle discussion about his flying abilities, or about any other of his abilities. Karl Rove and the "righties," dishonored John Kerry's military service--including Kerry's Silver Star decoration--when Rove created his "brilliant" Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Now, I think we have a duty to let the public know, that some of Senator McCain's old flying buddies used to joke about his bad flying record. They even made up the nickname, "Ace McCain" for him, though they were quick to point out that he was a "reverse ace," in that he lost his own planes. Some thought he should be nicknamed, "Crash McCain."
"and one he clipped a power line because he was fucking around and not paying attention."
I am surprised he was allowed back up in the air on that one.
The flame out is maybe yes or no on his culpability.
The ditch when landing sounds like his error as well.

The first time they go Yeah, shit happens, the second time they start to question what he's doing . . . the power line he should have been grounded.
I'm sure Daddy and Granddaddy had nothing to do with Captain 5th From the Bottom staying in the air.

Shit. Cubs lose third straight. Only run is a solo homerun by Zambrano.
In the stuff on Wiki it, implies that the plane survived his collision with the power lines in Spain. [His aviation skills improved, but he had another close call when he and his plane emerged intact from a collision with power lines after flying too low over Spain.], so I calls it four. Probably oughta be three, because he wasn't responsible for the Forrestal fire which destroyed his plane.
Let's play a game. I will print a short article and you guess the headline. Here's the article.
"WARREN, Mich. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain is seeking to bolster his appeal to voters on economic issues by speaking to some of those hardest hit in the recent downturn: auto workers.
McCain is visiting a General Motors Corp. (GM) site in Michigan developing a long-range electric car called the Volt.
After getting a briefing from GM CEO Rick Wagoner and other company officials, McCain is speaking at a town-hall event with workers at the GM Technology Center.
Earlier this week, GM announced $15 billion in cuts as it tries to weather a huge dropoff in sales of trucks and large cars on top of more long-term costs.
McCain has proposed giving a $5,000 tax credit to those who buy a no-emissions car."

Was thinking about my dad and his time as a pilot. For the good and bad of him, I know he lost two aircraft in his training days. (Both 51s). He spent 24 hours in a swamp in one incident pinned in the aircraft with the wing folded up on his arm.
The remainder of his flying career, he never lost another plane he was in control of. He had several in-flight issues including engines burning up and the like and brought them back home.
Comparing him to McCain, McCain had issues.

I do remember going to Second City with my girlfriend in 1973 as a junior in high school and laughing so hard that I have been a fan of that venue ever since. I could not believe how funny these no names were.
The cast included Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd.
Shared Humanity | 07.20.08 - 12:10 am | #
I saw the original Lemmings stage show in 1973 or 74. before SNL was on TV.
Cast was Belushi, Chevy Chase, Gilda, Akroyd, the now forgotten but very funny Alice Playten, Paul Shaffer, and possibly Jane Curtin and Garrett Morris.
Hysterically funny, and most of it absolutely savage satire of the counter culture. The whole third act was a parody of Woodstock where all the rock stars were urging the audience to kill themselves. The house band was called Megadeath -- never been sure if the real Megadeth a few years later was aware of that.
OK, g'nite beautiful people. It's nice to know you all.

1Watt, Hermit,
I heard the lamentable Chuck Todd of NBC news say that the election may come down to a single state this year: Michigan.
I doubt that very much and I hope that it is not the case. But if it is is, what kind of a nightmare will this be for the people of my state?
Lord, politicians and their toadies running around everyplace lying through their teeth and promising the world and not doing shit except messin up the traffic.
Michigan has been attacked viciously for the last thirty six years. If these people want the votes from here they had better find a way to do something to help. Actual headline in the Detroit paper tonight is, Don't let Detroit die without a fight.
I sit here day after day and listen as people criticize the auto makers (justifiably so in many cases) but I try to remind them that most jobs in the auto industry are not working for Ford or GM or Chrysler - it is working for little places that no one ever hears of, Muskegon Piston Ring, Sealed Power, Michigan Spring, Muskegon Camshaft, Campell Wyatt and Cannon, Mold Technologies and on and on.
When GM or Ford get sick the entire states goes on life support. These companies are the lifeblood that pays for everything around here.
We need these industries to be around to pay the pensions of the retirees and the taxes to support the schools and universities. (The school where my son is enrolled just raised their tuition 17% for next year due to declining state aid - where's my raise again?)
There are ways to save our industries that are reasonable and effective and good for the country. But drilling for more oil and subsidizing old technologies just does not make any sense.
ErinPDX, heh. E's jealous.
McCane - We Got Nothing.
Now get the hell off my lawn and I'm keeping the ball!

Well the polls will close by the time they drive their towncars to the local voting station. However there is an evil plan in which they get in front of liberal voters to keeps them from getting there too.

I agree totally. I'd like to see the meme that building all of those deep sea drilling rigs are stealing resources from the renewable energy industries. The steel, copper etc, that are being used in foreign shipyards could be used in the US to build wind turbines, solar arrays, geothermal extraction, etc. Hell even canceling the use of the penny would provide the raw materials to rebuild the infrastructure of the US, with the benefit of several millions of new jobs.

GENEVA — Some pre-negotiation jabbing turned into a potentially damaging diplomatic incident Saturday when Brazil's foreign minister said rich countries' deception in trade talks reminded him of tactics used by Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels.
His comments drew a sharp rebuke from the United States, whose chief trade negotiator, Susan Schwab, is the daughter of Jewish Holocaust survivors. Her spokesman described the reference to Goebbels as “incredibly wrong.”
The controversy threatens to overshadow next week's last-ditch effort to save seven years of frustrating talks on a new global trade pact toward alleviating poverty around the world.
The so-called Doha trade round is already teetering on the brink of collapse. U.S. President George Bush has made a Doha deal a key part of his trade agenda.
Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim said the U.S., Europe and other wealthy economies have so frequently misrepresented the talks launched in Qatar's capital in 2001 that public perception has become totally warped.

My friends in Portland always said the Heathman bar as like Tiffany's in Breakfast at Tiffany's - nothing bad could ever happen to you there. But you met NTodd in meatspace there so I guess they were wrong...
Also, there's a rumor that it's haunted, which adds to its charm.

What is the ``cosmic accounting system?'' --- Fuller's Economics.
[Typed in by Pat Salsbury.] The following is an excerpt from Critical Path by R. Buckminster (``Bucky'') Fuller. (Copyright 1981, St. Martin's Press, NY -- pp. 262-263)
``...We have pointed out that the geologist Francois de Chardenedes wrote for me a scenario of the technology of nature's producing petroleum which disclosed that the amount of energy employed by nature as heat and pressure for the amount of time required to produce each gallon of petroleum, if paid for at the rate at which the public utilities now charge retail customers for electricity, must cost over a million dollars a gallon. Combine that information with the discovery that approximately 60 percent of the employed in U.S. America are working at tasks that are not producing any life support. Jobs of inspectors-of-inspectors; jobs with insurance companies that induce people to bet that their house is going to be destroyed by fire while the insurance company bets that it isn't. All these are negative preoccupations...jobs with the underwriting of insurance underwriters by other insurance underwriters -- people checking up on one another in all the different departments of the Treasury, the Internal Revenue, FBI, CIA, and in counterespionage. About 60 percent of all human activity in America is not producing any physical life protection, life support, or development accommodation, which physical life support alone constitutes real wealth.
``The majority of Americans reach their jobs by automobile, probably averaging four gallons a day -- thereby, each is spending four million real cosmic-physical-Universe dollars a day without producing any physical Universe life-support wealth accredited in the energy-time -- metabolic -- accounting system eternally governing regenerative Universe. Humans are designed to learn how to survive only through trial-and-error-won knowledge. Long-known errors are, however, no longer cosmically tolerated. The 350 trillion cosmic dollars a day wasted by the 60 percent of no-wealth-producing human job-holders in the U.S.A., together with the $19 quadrillion a day wasted by the no-wealth-producing human job-holders in all other automobiles-to-work countries, also can no longer be cosmically tolerated.
