Obama this week flew to Detroit to deliver his message that the U.S. auto industry is the villain for "investing in bigger and faster cars while foreign competitors invested in more fuel-efficient technology."
The domestics certainly haven't flooded showrooms with gas/electric hybrids like the Japanese. But in fairness, the newest Japanese assembly plant in the U.S. produces 14-m.p.g. Toyota Tundra pickups, not Prius hybrids rated at 60 m.p.g.
"While our fuel standards haven't moved from 27.5 miles per gallon in two decades, both China and Japan have surpassed us, with Japanese cars now getting an average of 45 miles to the gallon," Obama said.
"I'm not sure where he got that figure," Toyota spokesman Mike Michels said. "No carmaker gets 45 m.p.g. Ours is closer to 30 m.p.g."
If elected president, perhaps Obama's first appointment should be a fact-checker.
Not just for number crunching but also because neither China nor Japan mandate fuel-economy standards. And the 27.5 m.p.g. standard was set by the government, not the automakers.

From The Nation blog:
Placing style over substance is the hallmark of a modern American political campaign. The notion that candidates win races on policy alone is consistently put to rest, especially in presidential contests. But according to TAP's Garance Franke-Ruta, Mitt Romney has taken political superficiality to the next level.
This blurb, which reads as though it was penned by airhead extraordinaire Perez Hilton, actually comes from official Romney campaign literature:
"In this media-driven age, Romney begins with a decisive advantage. First, he has sensational good looks. People magazine named him one of the 50 most beautiful people in America. Standing 6 feet, 2 inches tall, Romney has jet-black hair, graying naturally at the temples. Women -- who will play a critical role in this coming election -- have a word for him: hot."

Gordon Brown said he had the "new ideas and vision" to govern Britain as he launched his long-awaited campaign to lead Labour and become prime minister.
He praised Tony Blair and said he wanted to make the UK "one of the great success stories of the new century".
But the launch suffered a hitch with Mr Brown's face obscured on TV coverage of his speech by glass autocues.
Mr Blair earlier endorsed Mr Brown's bid to succeed him as prime minister, saying "he has what it takes".

Yes, I'm around.
And as a native M'wakeean, I gotta say I'm in a bit of ennui. The Brewers I rooted for - Harvey's Wallbangers of the early '80s - were cast aside by Selig and Bando - that's how your Twins wound up with Molitor - and a ring in '87. I vowed to never return to the traitorous Selig nor the Brewers.
After the Cubs '84 season - and the fact my dad was a Cub fan going back to watching Gabby Hartnett - the switch was easy.
Now, though, Mark Atanasio (sp?) has a good young team that plays fundamentals. The last Cub team where "fundamentals" was synonymous...?
The stadium isn't all that bad, actually. Sure beats the cold stiff wind from the east at the corrugated metal tank that County Stadium was.
But County Stadium - and the '82 Brewers - were OF Milwaukee. Working-class, hard-drinking (well, at least Vuckovich and Stormin' Gorman). Miller Park is prettified. But it doesn't speak "Milwaukee" to me.

Suicide bombers in Iraq have struck police checkpoints on two bridges in a co-ordinated attack in a mainly Shia area south of Baghdad, killing at least 22 people and wounding 60.
Police said five policemen were among the dead. Suspected al-Qaeda fighters have carried out a series of attacks on bridges in Baghdad in recent weeks.
Police on Friday said the first bomber damaged the old Diyala Bridge and a nearby police station.

We have had -20 around here (about an hour from Chicago), but not in a while. The coldest I can remember in the last 12 years was a WC of around -63. Used to be that in February WCs of -20 were never out of the question, and screen temps of 0 or below were common.

A midwife has been struck off after being found guilty of pulling a woman's umbilical cord so hard that she was dragged down her bed.
A disciplinary hearing of the Nursing and Midwifery Council yesterday found 46-year-old London midwife Cecilia Wanayana Kituma guilty of misconduct.
The disciplinary panel heard that on 21 and 22 January 2004, while working as an agency midwife at Watford General hospital, Ms Kituma pulled at the woman's umbilical cord with excessive force while delivering her placenta.
She was also found guilty of failing to notice that the same woman suffered a severe post-partum haemorrhage after giving birth, losing more than two litres of blood.

It's just like 1985, when the mayor, police commissioner, and fire commissioner gave the go-ahead to drop a satchel of C4 on the roof of a "fortified compound" that was also a row home-- and before the night was over, the entire neighborhood burned down.

Ah, Pitch Black...
Trying again -
The Brewers of MY memory - other than the '70s teams with Tommy Harper, George Scott, and later - Hank Aaron - were Harvey's Wallbangers of the early '80s. When Selig and Bando got money-skittish and let the team vanish away, that's when I left - your Twins got Molitor AND a ring. I vowed never to support Selig's LOOSER team again.
Besides, at that time the Cubs were getting better - and in another league. Since my dad was a Cubs fan from the days of Gabby Hartnett, the move was natural.
So I feel a bit twisted over the "new" Brew Crew. New owner Mark Atanasio (sp?) has built a young team that plays fundamentals (when whas the last time "Cubs" and "fundamentals" were synonyms?) - and watching a game at Miller Park is far nicer than braving harsh winds off the lake at the corrugated metal tank that County stadium was.
But County Stadium - and the early '80s Brewers - were OF Milwaukee. Working class. Hard-drinking (well, at least Pete Vuckovich and Stormin' Gorman Thomas). Raw and out in the elements. Miller Park - and the new Chris Capuano Brewers - are "prettyfied." I don't feel much of a connection with the new team.

A Magellanic penguin whose natural habitat is the cool climes of southern Chile has strayed thousands of miles from his home, arriving in Peru.
The penguin, native to the Strait of Magellan region of Chile, swam all the way to Peru's Paracas national reserve.
Scientists say the bird appeared to have made the 5,000km (3,000-mile) journey alone.
They say the penguin must have "got off course" to end up just 14 degrees south of the equator.

Yeah.
I like this guy:
Neither snow, nor rain, nor fire and brimstone will keep Joshua Witter from the swift completion of his appointed rounds come the end of the world.
Witter, a 24-year-old self-described atheist living in Orlando, is the creator of the Post-Rapture Post, which bills itself as "the postal service of the saved."
For as little as $4.99, Witter offers to deliver your letters to friends and loved ones left behind after the Rapture, when some Christians believe they will be whisked up to heaven while everyone else — the "Left Behind" of the popular book series — suffers a series of tribulations.
As Witter sees it, it will fall to the unsaved to serve as the postmen of the Apocalypse.
"Do you want to take the chance that your loved ones will have to suffer through your ascension into Heaven without knowing how you really feel in your heart?" the site asks. "Sign up for the Post-Rapture Post today to guarantee that, while you are gone, you will remain in the thoughts of those left behind."
"Holy crap, a plan B.," wrote one of the site's visitors, known only as Fred B. from Oregon. "This is my kind of religion."
Others weren't so charitable. "I am shocked at your website," penned a woman identified as Kim F. "It is not even remotely funny. ... All who are a part of this, surely, God will judge to damnation."
As an atheist, one of the things Witter doesn't believe in is any sort of damnation. Or the Rapture. Or God, for that matter. Even if there is a Rapture, he said, it's best to prepare because Witter is pretty sure he'll be one of the many left behind.
"The Bible says that only those that repent of their sins and accept Jesus as the True Son of God will be saved," the site reads. "We do neither. Some of our personal sins include: drunkenness, heresy, sacrilege/blasphemy, gluttony, laciviousness, and sloth. There is no way we are going to disappear into Heaven any time soon."

Under blue skies and warm late afternoon sunshine, the outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair received a warm welcome in Paris from the outgoing French President, Jacques Chirac.
As a Republican Guard of Honour stood smartly to attention on the steps of the Elysee Palace, the two leaders shook hands and then Mr Chirac leaned forward to hug Mr Blair, swapping a traditional kiss on each cheek.
Their relationship has been famed for its difficult periods and disagreements between Britain and France - mainly over the war in Iraq, but often over Europe.

A Saginaw, MI, man on Wednesday pleaded guilty to charges of sodomy, resisting and obstructing a police officer and indecent exposure stemming from an Oct. 20 incident in which he was discovered having sex with a dog carcass.
Ronald E. Kuch, 45, entered the plea Wednesday in the Bay County courtroom of Circuit Judge Joseph K. Sheeran.
Kuch will be sentenced July 2. He faces up to 22 years for the sodomy charge, a felony; up to three years and a $2,000 fine for the resisting and obstructing charge, also a felony; and up to one year and a $1,000 fine for the indecent exposure charge, a misdemeanor.
The incident occurred in a wooded area behind the Forest Early Childhood Center, 2169 W. Midland Road, where day care and Young Five programs are held.
Kuch apparently ran off when a Bay County Animal Control officer, who had come to retrieve the dead animal, observed him with the carcass.
When Sheeran asked Kuch on Wednesday to tell him in his own words what happened, Kuch replied, ''I had sexual relations with a carcass.''
Kuch said the ''black Labrador,'' had been dead for three days, having been hit by a car. Kuch told Sheeran that he had taken the dog, which had belonged to a friend of his, to the wooded area where he planned to bury it.
(Man, my musical reference just bumped the stock value of Coke up a couple of points.)

Poppy the St Bernard dog has proved to be a real supermum - after giving birth to 13 puppies.
The 12-stone dog was in labour for eight hours as she produced the staggering litter.
But owners Alan and Angela Bateman, from Hankham near Eastbourne, were left shocked because a scan suggested she would only have three pups.
Mother-of-five Mrs Bateman said the only thought in her mind when the 13th puppy arrived was: "Oh my goodness."

You probably are better off saving the money you give to panhandlers and gicing a donation to a local homeless shelter.
A homeless mans perspective:
Here's my opinion on panhandling:
Never give to panhandlers. That's the message. "Just Say No." Now, there is always an exception to this rule, and that is if it appears that the person asking you for money, or something else, will become violent if you don't comply. But, in that circumstance, this person is no longer a panhandler, but a robber, a thief, and he/she has broken the law.
Of all the time I've been on the streets and have known homeless, and street people (street people are not necessarily homeless), I've never come across a legitimate need for panhandling. They have all used the money for drugs and alcohol.
Then there is the issue of food. Should you give a panhandler food. That depends on your approach. All panhandlers have to eat. And, they will use some of the money you give them to eat with - TacoBell is a favorite. But, when you give them food, then they can save that much more of their panhandling money for drugs and alcohol. Still, if you use the excuse of feeding a panhandler to develop a relationship with him, then you should. Don't just give him money and then walk away. Take the man into Taco Bell with you, and eat with him. Engage him in conversation. Become his friend. Find out what his real needs are - perhaps he needs a better pair of shoes, or perhaps he needs eye-glasses, or perhaps the chance to call home. This is how you provide for the real needs of the homeless.
Know that homeless people have lost most of their love of self and others, and that by others showing genuine concern for them, they will begin, again, to care about themselves - a first step in the journey out of homelessness.

From WarRoom:
Unsynchronized spinning
That meeting in which moderate Republicans told the president this week that he's risking the future of the Republican Party by sticking to his guns on Iraq?
Here's how White House spokeswoman Dana Perino spun it in an interview with CNN's Paula Zahn last night: "They expressed displeasure to the president. They expressed frustration, because of a lack of progress. The president understands that. He's right there with them on that. And I think that, if you look at our party, we are ones that like a frank exchange of views. We have a big tent. And discussions like this are OK. They're good to have. And that's why the president was very happy to have them at the White House."
Yep, he was frickin' overjoyed all right -- and happier still to have word of the meeting leaked to the press. From today's Washington Post: "White House political adviser Karl Rove, furious that Republican moderates had divulged a confrontational meeting they had on Tuesday with Bush on the war, started yesterday with an angry conversation with the meeting's organizer, Rep. Mark Steven Kirk (R-Ill.), according to several GOP lawmakers. Dan Meyer, the White House's chief lobbyist, called the other participants to express the administration's unhappiness."

"The MPAA film rating system has existed for nearly 40 years as an educational tool for parents to assist them in making decisions about what movies are appropriate for their children," Glickman said. "It is a system that is designed to evolve alongside modern parental concerns."
In line with that evolution, the MPAA ratings board "will now consider smoking as a factor among many other factors, including violence, sexual situations and language, in the rating of films," he said.

I'm not buying it unless I have proof. Prove that you did not! Prove it!
It's too heartwrenching and grotesque to dwell upon, but it occurs to me that this is, like, the third story I've seen lately about some wretched infant being horrifically genitally mutilated.
There are always lovable ferocious pets in abundance, e.g. pit bulls or rotweilers or even ferrets, and a murky story in which no one is really sure how it happened.
But, not to get all pop psychology about it-- does anyone here know whether this kind of behavior is indicative of post-partum psychosis?
I'm not saying the mother/woman is the prime suspect or anything, although I think the mothers were caring for the poor babies when the mysterious attack occurred. It just struck me that something so abominable might arise from a psychosis wherein genitalia become an object of rage and hostility.
And what's the best they can do to fix something like that? Not the psychosis, but the results. Damn-- let's move on to something more elevating.

US general warns against torture
The top US commander in Iraq has warned his troops not to sanction torture or abuse of Iraqi detainees and has urged them to fight by the rules.
In an open letter, Gen David Petraeus said the argument that torture could elicit information quickly was "wrong". If the US wants to win in Iraq it must keep the "moral high ground", he said.

The Democratic National Committee filed two cease-and-desist letters Thursday with a conservative website and XM Radio regarding comments they alleged were made by DNC Chairman Howard Dean.
As a DNC-imposed noon deadline passed today, the allegedly inflamatory comments had not been removed from the Web. A party spokeswoman, Stacie Paxton, said she was not sure what the Democrats' next step would be.
The website FreeRepublic.com, citing an XM radio show, said Thursday that "Dean called Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius early, around 5 am, one morning after the tornado had destroyed the town of Greensburg, Kansas and discussed with her what to say about the tornado and how to blame the war in Iraq and the Bush administration on a slow response to the aftermath."
According to Democrats, the conversation never occurred.

Mavis Staples was on Tavis Smiley's show a few months ago discussing her strict upbringing. When she started to sing secular songs, her church threatened to kick her out of the choir, maybe the congregation.
They didn't care if the songs had Civil Rights or "uplift the race" themes--the songs were worldly and that was that.
For reasons unknown, the churchgoers eventually relented. Maybe they liked her voice.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. --Sen. John McCain has made another change in his struggling campaign, dismissing his New Hampshire campaign manager on Friday.
Jim Martin had run the Arizona Republican's campaign in the state and was part of McCain's 2000 victory in the state. But the campaign decided to replace him with Jim Barnett, who had been a top political operative.
McCain's New Hampshire Communications Director Jill Hazelbaker said the departure came Friday.

Gordon Brown will try to restore public trust in British politics by proposing an all-party convention that could pave the way for a written constitution.
In an attempt to draw a line under damaging perceptions over sleaze and spin in the Blair era, the chancellor will seek consensus for the historic move to enshrine certain values and rights.
The convention will also look at new powers for parliament and a rebalancing of power between Whitehall and local government, similar to those laid out in the US constitution of 1787 which has a central place in American law and culture.

My favorite song from Mavis Staples is whatever I happen to be listening to that she's ever sung. Her voice suspends time.
At the risk of offending any of his fans, I have to say that Elvis Costello is one lugubrious son of a bitch. The thing that's playing in this cafe sounds like a warped copy of Van Dyke Park's "Song Cycle" playing at 16rpm.

Gordon Brown tried to draw a line under the Iraq disaster by promising to learn from the mistakes made by Britain and the US as he launched his campaign for the Labour leadership.
The Chancellor, who will probably take over as Prime Minister on 27 June, put some distance between himself and Mr Blair over Iraq without issuing a formal apology. He said he would visit the Middle East in the next few weeks to "learn the lessons we have to learn from the last few years as we focus on the best ways to achieve greater stability."
Mr Brown is unlikely to speed up the phased withdrawal of British troops from Iraq since it is already underway after Army chiefs complained their presence has become part of the problem rather than the solution. He may set up an inquiry into the mistakes made in the aftermath of the 2003 invasion but allies say he will not make a decision on that until he enters Downing Street.

You mean people actually DRINK while they post?
Begin with a pre-post drink to warm up.
If the fingers are stiff, you may require a pre-drink post to limber them up. Bare in mine--and NTodd, at least, surely is--that one should always warn fellow Blatt™*ers that you have not had your first drink yet, and they should read accordingly.
Or not.
A mid-post drink is allowed, up to a maximum of whatever you have within easy reach, without falling off the chair. Note that this range is severely reduced as the evening progresses.
Mid-drink posting is inadvisable without a properly adjusted beer bong.
A post-post drink is always in order.
A post-drink post is...pretty much all of 'em, except the first, unless you took a pre-drink post to loosen up the ol' carpal tunnel.

ABOARD USS JOHN C. STENNIS (AP) - From an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf, Vice President Dick Cheney warned Iran on Friday the U.S. and its allies will keep it from restricting sea traffic as well as from developing nuclear weapons.
``We'll keep the sea lanes open,'' Cheney said from the hangar deck of the USS John C. Stennis as it steamed about 150 miles from the Iranian coast.
Cheney is touring the Middle East asking Arab allies to do more to help Iraq and to curb Iran's growing power in the region. With Iraq in turmoil, both Iran and Saudi Arabia are maneuvering to see who can help fill the leadership vacuum.
