Coulter misrepresented Maher's comments about Cheney. In fact, Maher didn't say he wished Cheney had been killed; he said "if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn't be dying needlessly tomorrow. ... I'm just saying that if he did die -- other people -- more people would live. That's a fact."
During the March 5 broadcast of his show, MSNBC host and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough (FL) debunked his fellow conservatives' attacks on Maher: "Conservatives accuse Bill Maher of calling for Dick Cheney's assassination, but he didn't, and I should know. I was there." But Scarborough didn't correct Coulter when she appeared on Morning Joe, even though he and Coulter did discuss her reference to Maher.
The new ads in support of Countdown and Keith are nice, though.

fantastica. EVERYONE envies me. I mean it. Wrote to a neighbor the other day and she wrote back, "I showed my photos around the office and everyone envies you." It's making me a little uncomfortable!
Taking GREAT photos, which I would share here if a) I had gotten customizing my WordPress-driven photoblog worked out by now, or b) A-man had enabled the thumbnail preview thing-y in comments.
I was in Assisi yesterday, and Orvieto the day before. Got some real keepers, photo-wise. Eating and drinking well. Here in this little town where I am staying, they are having a sculling competition for 10-14 year olds. Over 1300 athletes (and their parents/relatives) have flooded into this little village of about 500 people. The national rowing center is here.
Too bad the lake is dead so you can't actually go into it. No one can tell me why that happened. The river which goes into it is crystal clear. The water which goes out, goes over the Marmore waterfall and into the Nera river, which is also clean. Something happens in this lake here. It is not a toxic soup, but it is pea-green and algae all around the edges of it.
Any hydrologists/water experts out there who would have a clue about why this would be so?

But maybe MSNBC has simply decided that it doesn't make much sense to pay the bigot when you can get the bile for free.
On Tuesday, for example, MSNBC's Hardball featured Ann Coulter as the sole guest for the entire hour. MSNBC continues to provide a platform for Coulter's hate; the network's just stopped paying her.
Actually, it's kind of funny - Ann Coulter reduced to the level of intellectual crackwhore, desperate enough to give it away for free.
And MSNBC is getting what it's paying for - nothing.

The notion that the targets of Ann Coulter's hateful speech should ignore her and she'll go away is absurd. Coulter was booked on Good Morning America and Hardball long before Elizabeth Edwards confronted her. Time magazine put Coulter on its cover long before Elizabeth Edwards confronted her. NBC's Today hosted her -- repeatedly -- long before Elizabeth Edwards confronted her.
It isn't Elizabeth Edwards who gives Ann Coulter publicity. It is the nation's leading news organizations. They may claim to find her distasteful, but they keep promoting her.
And they not only provide a forum for her hate speech and let her lie and dissemble without consequence, they repeat her false attacks on progressives as though they are true.
--sums it all up for me.

This should make every one in New Mexico happy.
from yahoo Law requires N.M. to grow its own pot
By DEBORAH BAKER, Associated Press
SANTA FE, N.M. - New Mexico has a new medical marijuana law with a twist: It requires the state to grow its own.
The law, effective Sunday, not only protects medical marijuana users from prosecution — as 11 other states do — but requires New Mexico to oversee a production and distribution system for the drug.
"The long-term goal is that the patients will have a safe, secure supply that doesn't mean drug dealers, that doesn't mean growing their own," said Reena Szczepanski, director of Drug Policy Alliance New Mexico.
The state Department of Health must issue rules by Oct. 1 for the licensing of marijuana producers and in-state,

Johaina Aamer recalls very little of the final precious moments she spent with her father before the bombs started falling in Afghanistan.
She remembers him pretending to be a lion and chasing her and her two brothers around the garden and then running for cover as the explosions crept closer. After that, her mind is blank.
But in paintings and pictures the nine-year-old has unlocked her subconscious to tell a horrifying story of the American invasion, her father's capture and his 2,000 days spent as a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay.

What's most frustrating is how easy it would be to take Coulter down if the "liberal" guests who appear opposite her would just do it.
Coulter should never be allowed to blather about Edwards' getting paid to talk to a "poverty group" without being challenged to give the name of the group, the date and location of the speech, and how much he was paid. Which should be followed by an observation that since Coulter has a long proven history of lying, all of this information is needed for anyone to verify the veracity of anything she might say. Ditto for everything else Coulter might say - same response. Her failure to provide specifics would be all the proof needed to convince anyone watching that she just makes shit up.

Gordon Brown's first three days in office have produced a surge in Labour support, putting the new prime minister in an election-winning position, according to a Guardian/ICM poll published today.
The poll, the first since Mr Brown became prime minister on Wednesday, shows Labour soaring seven points to 39%, a clear four-point lead over the Conservatives and its first lead in an ICM poll since March 2006.
The result is Labour's best performance in an ICM poll since David Cameron became Tory leader in 2005. If repeated at a general election it would see Labour increase its majority at Westminster.

Egypt has banned all female circumcision after the death this week of a 12-year-old girl undergoing the widely practised procedure.
Budour Ahmad Shaker died from an overdose of anaesthetic at a private clinic in Minya province in upper Egypt during the $9 (£4.50) operation. Her parents are threatening to sue the doctor involved after he reportedly tried to bribe them to withdraw their complaint.
Female circumcision, which involves the removal of the clitoris, and is also called female genital mutilation, was made illegal in Egypt in 1997. But the painful and sometimes deadly practice was allowed in exceptional cases, and is common in the south despite educational efforts by human rights organisations. President Hosni Mubarak's wife, Suzanne, has been an active campaigner on the issue.

A very large scary man was seen getting out the burning car and scaring several holiday travelers - he being large and very scary . . . and on fire. He was taken into custody and immediately waterboarded.
Again, a very large scary man got out of the burning terrorist device.
In 2005, research by Unicef found that 96% of Egyptian women aged 15 to 49 who had ever been married reported they had been circumcised. The Egyptian government says a more recent study found 50.3% of girls aged 10 to 18 had been circumcised.
Muslims and Christians practise circumcision in Egypt and Sudan but it has no basis in either religion. The operation is usually performed by doctors in private clinics or, especially in rural areas, by barbers or midwives.

A car on fire has been driven at the main terminal building at Glasgow Airport, police have confirmed.
Eyewitnesses have described a Jeep Cherokee being driven at speed towards the building with flames coming out from underneath.
They have also described seeing two Asian men, one of whom was on fire, who had been in the car.
The airport has been evacuated and all flights suspended following the incident at 1515 BST.
It's a scam - they don't want you to know that they're all the exact same book, just with different dust jackets.

I must go now... do you know how long it takes to download 80mb worth of printer driver on dialup? FOR FUCKING EVER.
And why on god's green earth should a driver download take 80mb of space? Any ubergeeks out there who can answer that? I thought drivers were generally very compact files.
Regarding my photos, a lot of the ones I took were 360 degree panoramic photos which require a lot of post-production work and the kind of CPU horsepower and drive space which I don't have here. Well, I do have a 500gb external drive with me but the computer is only a 2001 vintage iBook (G3/500 with 'only' 640mb of RAM).
So I am going to wait until I get home to do any further work on those, but I promise they will be spectacular and I'll share the links with y'all when they are ready.
Oh and I have some sunflower photos which are kick-ass but they are on the external drive which I don't feel like powering up right now, I gotta run.
(all of my images are available for purchase, by the way *hint hint!* they are all shot as 16 bit RAW files, not 8 bit JPEGs...)

The incident this week with Edwards was textbook. She starts a-shakin' and a-shiverin' the moment she realizes she's gonna be questioned. Then the eye-rolling tongue-clucking oppressed teenager bullshit starts: "You dont' want me to speak!" "OK, I won't write anymore!" "You're not the boss of me!", followed by the lame excuses: "It's just a joke!"
Then, when it's over, the ludicrous claims that she came out on top.

Pakistan struggled to provide disaster relief to one million people left homeless by Cyclone Yemyin yesterday, as bad weather continued to ground many military rescue helicopters and aid planes.
Pakistan's normally arid Baluchistan province was the worst affected by the tropical storm, which has killed 500 people across south Asia this week, with some districts receiving four times their annual rainfall in 24 hours.
We've been covering these very scary terrorist car bombs in England and Scotland all day yesterday and tomorrow . . . no authorities have said these were terrorist events, we are just interpreting it that way.
Now, if this was just a car accident between two cars, as authorities are reporting, where is the other car?
Again, a very large scary man got out of the car and accosted police.
They cannot stand to be questioned or criticized and they both throw tantrums when anyone calls them on their bullshit.

CCTV Footage
I am increasingly puzzled as to why police haven't released CCTV footage of the driver of the vehicle fleeing the scene. The whole Piccadilly area is swamped by CCTV coverage. Normally, you would expect this released, so the public can help with the manhunt. That happened with the 21/7 incidents. It did not happen with Jean Charles De Menezes, of course, because the CCTV footage disproved the police story that De Menezes vaulted the barriers and sprinted through the station.
It does now appear that these were indeed not suicide bombs, and were not professionally made.

Having seen thru the explosive gasoline, the notion that a couple of LP gas tanks would explode with sufficient force to kill hundreds with flying nails is also stupid.
I've seen more than one tank of LP gas go up, and while it is impressive, it was not that big a deal.
Certainly, the explosion could be focused sufficiently to blow the doors off of a car and blow nails far enough to kill hundreds, as has been claimed.

Funny, that.
When you kill an unarmed homeless guy, you don't get to see it. When terrorists kill folk, you can't avoid seeing it.
The US military in Iraq says it has killed 26 people linked to "Iranian terror networks". A statement said they were killed in early morning raids on Saturday in Baghdad's Sadr City area.
Seventeen suspects have been detained, it said.
"Coalition forces conducted two separate raids targeting suspected secret cell terrorists during pre-dawn hours Saturday in Sadr City," the statement said.
"It is believed that the suspected terrorists have close ties to Iranian terror networks and are responsible for facilitating the flow of lethal aid into Iraq."

The European Union is risking an Islamic backlash in Turkey, according to the EU's enlargement commissioner, Olli Rehn.
A survey showed attitudes in the country souring towards the West.
Mr Rehn told the European Voice weekly: "If you look at the current political situation in the Middle East, in Palestine, in Lebanon, not to speak of Iraq, we don't need another nationalist or Islamist problem in the neighbourhood of Europe."
The survey revealed Turkish approval of Europe to be falling rapidly.
Just 27% of Turks have a favourable opinion of the European Union, compared to 58% in 2004, according to this year's annual global survey by the Pew Research Center.

The move follows bans across the UK, and is intended to cut deaths from secondhand smoke.
Many venues are planning farewell events for the final Saturday night, while local authorities are preparing to enforce the ban.
Anyone lighting up illegally will face a fine of up to £200.
Regulars at the Prince of Wales pub at Hagley, Worcestershire, are having a smokers party with free cigarettes and a tobacco-themed disco featuring only tobacco-related hits.

Three people have been arrested after a jeep was driven into the terminal building at Glasgow airport and caught fire, police have confirmed.
Witnesses reported hearing a series of loud "bangs" and saw at least two men - one of whom was on fire - emerge from the vehicle.
There are reports of several injuries.
The Cherokee 4x4 smashed into a glass door at Terminal One of the airport, the busiest in Scotland, which has now been closed.
Witnesses said some of the hundreds of people in the area removed gas cylinders from the jeep before it caught fire.
But there are reports the men were trying to fling petrol onto the flames.
