NYT on Rove:
He said he intended to write a book, which had been encouraged by “the boss,” and eventually to teach.
"To teach". Oh, joy.

Which is why it would just be much easier all around to let the church marry people however they please and let a state official sign the legal documents.

That's how it works now.
(The religious official is usually deputized in some sense by the state in order to perform the legal function on behalf of the state. But it's a separate thing from the religious ceremony, even if it happens in close order.)
Legal recognition (and the related responsibilities and benefits) is decided by the state and federal governments.

Army Starts New Psychiatric Program
DENVER - The Army has launched a nationwide program to teach soldiers and their families how to identify signs of possible psychiatric injuries suffered in the war on terrorism that may have gone unnoticed.
The Army is responding to widespread reports that soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with mild brain damage and post-traumatic stress disorder were treated as malingerers or unfairly dismissed from the service.

'Since the U.S. invasion in 2003, when looters ransacked armories and deserting Iraqi soldiers took their rifles home, this bloodied land has been flooded by a sea of weapons fed from both the legal and illegal market.
Besides more than 700,000 rifles and other weapons arming the new Iraqi army and police, at least seven million guns are believed in the hands of civilians, including insurgents and sectarian militias, in a nation of 27 million, the Geneva-based research group Small Arms Survey reports.
More are pouring in: The Pentagon said July 26 that some 122,000 fresh weapons are in the official supply pipeline for Iraqi security forces. Many more come via black-market channels.'
He said he intended to write a book, which had been encouraged by “the boss,” and eventually to teach.

STATEMENT FROM AMBASSADOR JOSEPH WILSON ON RESIGNATION OF WHITE HOUSE DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF KARL ROVE
Washington, DC - Following the resignation of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, Ambassador Joseph Wilson issued the following statement:
"Karl Rove's resignation signals the final chapter in the Bush administration's betrayal of the identity of a covert CIA officer. When this breach of national security occurred, the President promised the American people that anybody in his administration responsible for the leak would be removed. Rove, identified by the prosecutors as one of the leakers, not only was not summarily dismissed, but has been allowed to leave on his own terms, to praise from the President. This sordid tale of compromising national security to cover-up and distract from the false rationale for the invasion of Iraq will forever remain in history a black mark on the Bush presidency"

He's apparently schizo. Multiple personalities; all of them obnoxious.
I got your inconvenient truth right here
...Al Gore not only underperforms expectations, but he is one failing class away from riding the short bus to school. Gore received mostly C’s and B’s in English and French in High School. Moreover, he received a D in Natural Sciences and then got a C+ in Natural Sciences his senior year. Amazingly, those grades were sufficient for Gore to attend Harvard University. We all know, however, that his admittance had something to do with having a big-time Politician for a father. But, liberals still paint the false picture that only Republicans use their parent’s political power to get ahead.
Not surprisingly, at Harvard, Al Gore “received one D, one C-minus, two C's, two C-pluses and one B-minus, which placed him in the lower fifth of the class for the second year in a row.” So much for Harvard’s grade inflation; maybe Gore can blame his transcript on being stoned all day. At the very least he should have spent more time researching the “Little Ice Age.”
After Harvard, evidently Gore really challenged himself. He received grades of "F" in five of the eight Divinity School courses– including an "F" in a course about science and nature. Oh, and he also dropped out of Vanderbilt Law School.

From below:
Religion predates the church.
smalfish
However, that doesn't demonstrate that martriage is a religious, not civil, idea.
And marriage probably predates religion. I can only put religion back to late H erectus, wheras relative monogamy is far deeper.
So there are two issues.. one is the concept of marriage as a religious thing, the other is the depth of the respective practices.

' Gore graduated from Harvard with honors in June 1969.'
My first marriage was of the common-law variety in 1969. As I was tempted by law school in those days I looked up the statute and everything. We did get the blood test and went to the courthouse to do the license but, fuck, it was Friday afternoon and the clerk's crew had bailed early. Since the whole motivation to get married was to get two weeks vacation from the borg-bank I was working at, I just announced I was married & took off the two weeks.
Odd thing is, we had applied as a couple to the Peace Corps. In the application where it asked for the marriage data (they required one year of marriage before acceptance to keep kids from signing up as a honeymoon trip) I cited the statute.
We were accepted by the FEDS with that citation, no further questions asked about it, and did our two years in Brazil!
Divorced within a year later, but whatever.
MATTHEWS: Come on in closer. No, come in -- come in further -- come in closer. Really close.

I have never seen it that blatant, and I have worked for a lot of big borgs. The worst I ever dealt with was this guy who would stare at womens' breasts when he spoke to them. He was really obvious, too. He would be talking and just staring at your tits. Didn't matter if the woman was old, young, fat, thin, ugly, pretty, whatever ... he was obsessed by teh boobs. Finally, this fantastic woman with whom I worked had enough and said, really loud, "You can stop staring at my breasts any time now, ________" in front of a shit-load of people.
That was the end of that.
Last I heard, Rove was working on a bachelor of arts in government at the University of Texas. This happens to be the same degree I have, from the same institution.
I'd really prefer that Rove get his degree from somewhere else and in something else.

There's no reason for them not to, either. Heck, Massachusetts gave me permission to sign the legal documents for some friends of mine, and I'm not a priest, judge, Justice of the Peace, or anything else like that.
The signing is just a legal formality. If my friends had been two men or two women, we wouldn't have (at that time) even been given the papers to sign, let alone permission to sign them.

Right. There's a distinction between a birth certificate and a baptism certificate. One is entirely a function of the state and the other of the church. It'd be easier to extent rights to same-sex couples if the same were the case with marriage.

Priests don't automagically get that legal power -- such as it is -- just because they're priests.
The fact that people who aren't priests can do it makes your argument rather nonsensical. Otherwise you'd have to legally specifically prevent priests from getting that power just on the basis of their being priests ... which would be a violation of the separation of church and state.

Some of Burnett's statements were just as bizarre as Tweety's:
“A lot of people like to say, uh, scaremonger about China, right? A lot of politicians, and I know you talk about that issue all the time. I think people should be careful what they wish for on China. Ya know, if China were to revalue it’s currency or China is to start making say, toys that don’t have lead in them or food that isn’t poisonous, their costs of production are going to go up and that means prices at Wal-Mart here in the United States are going to go up too. So, I would say China is our greatest friend right now, they’re keeping prices low and they’re keeping the prices for mortgages low, too.”

JR,
You're right, but the problem was even more complex:
What these companies fail to do, however, is to provide adequate information about formula feeding. The women are in no way given the unbiased and adequate information that the WHO code requires, for them to be able to make informed choices. Nestle and the other companies do not teach these women about sterilizing the bottles they use, and they provide no resources with which to do this. The mothers then use dirty water mixed with formula, which causes severe diarrhoea and dehydration in the babies, which kills them. The formula also does not provide the same natural immunization against other diseases that breastmilk does.
After the newborns have become dependent on formula as their sole source of nutrition, and the mother's milk has dried up through lack of demand, the free samples stop coming. At this point, the mother is told that she will have to pay almost western prices for cans of infant formula to feed her baby. The vast majority of families in the developing world cannot afford this. They either go without food themselves to feed the baby, or mothers will over-dilute the powder to make it last longer. This causes severe malnourishment, and often loss of life, for the baby. The WHO code also requires that labels on formula products are in the appropriate language. Many of Nestle's exported cans carry information written in English, rather than the local language. In addition, many of the mothers that are targeted are illiterate, and so depend on others - their health workers - to tell them about how to best feed their babies.

why? - US forces in Iraq have launched a new offensive against both Shia and Sunni insurgents, the US military has said.
Operation Phantom Strike was being staged throughout Iraq, specifically targeting al-Qaeda-linked militants and also Iranian-backed groups, it said.
The move comes as Iraqi leaders are preparing for emergency talks called on Sunday by Prime Minister Nouri Maliki.

On June 4, 2007, Burnett handily won an online poll of the hottest financial news anchors on Wall Street gossip blog Dealbreaker.com. She received 37 percent of the votes while rival CNBC anchor Becky Quick came in second place with 22 percent. Maria Bartiromo only received 13 percent, prompting media watchers to dub Burnett "Maria 2.0." [4] [5]
On July 17, 2007, Burnett received round praise from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh for her reporting on the The Today Show about the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the strength of the US economy. The commentary on commentary continued into the next day.[6]
Downing Street has warned climate change protesters near Heathrow that any disruption to the running of the airport would be "unacceptable".
Up to 2,000 people are due at the Camp for Climate Action, with 250 already at the week-long protest against Heathrow expansion plans and aviation generally.
Protesters say "mass direct action" planned for Sunday will be peaceful and will not involve invading the runways.
No 10 said people had a right to protest but must not cause disruption.

Hey George, nice little fledgling Democracy you've got going there in Iraq. So ethical, ya know?

The Iraqi government of Nouri al-Maliki takes support where it can get it. Over 160,000 U.S. troops guarantee its existence. It's cultivating an ever-closer bond with its fellow Shiites in Iran. But Italian criminals have to rank as rather unexpected allies.
The Iraqi government, a very shady Iraqi company and a group of Italian arms smugglers found a potent business opportunity in Iraq's black market for weapons, according to Italian investigators cited by the Associated Press. And that's a thriving trade. ...

Poland faces an early general election this autumn after the president today sacked four ministers, ending the conservative coalition that has led the country for 15 months.
The sacked ministers were replaced with members or allies of the Law and Justice party (PiS), led by the president, Lech Kaczynski, and his twin brother, Jaroslaw, who is the prime minister.
With the government now lacking a majority in parliament, political commentators expect that it will have to call an election two years early, possibly on October 21.

Mike Pence: Dumber than slime mold and just as ooky.
The fact that people who aren't priests can do it makes your argument rather nonsensical.
Sigh. In my state, officiants can be either clergy or justices of the peace. And the fact that the majority of people view civil marriages as *religious* ceremonies is a huge stumbling block toward the legitimization of same-sex marriage. Even marriages performed in the *courtroom* are viewed as religious ceremonies.

I did tell her that, res. But sometimes the situation is really best eliminated by leaving. That that is of course also a form of harassment is another problem.
Yes, you were very wise and kind wrt that and other incidents. I would have pursued legal recourse had I a witness. The witness in the last boob comment thingy was the other salesman with whom my boss was tag-teaming me. There practices have always been less than professional, so I decided that I probably couldn't win a legal battle with two guys vs. little old me.
That place is a sea of dysfunction, and it has a cancer growing on it. The sexual harassment was merely a symptom of many other problems that were much greater in scope, I'm afraid.
I've seen several people fight that place for wrongful discharge claims, and they've all lost, even though they were wrongfully discharged. Sometimes, the things certain managers do best are things like obstruction, obsfucation, and lying.
Their karma is that they are manufacturing shitty products now, and losing market share and profitability. In fact, for the first time in a century, they lost money in 2006. And I'm in a better place.
So that's what I'm thankful for.

All sides have committed war crimes in Somalia's conflict this year, according to lobby group Human Rights Watch.
It says the worst abuses have been by Ethiopian soldiers, who are supporting the government against insurgents.
Ethiopians have often indiscriminately attacked civilian areas and looted hospitals, its report says.
While insurgents have fired mortars into residential areas and executed civilians, since Islamists were driven from power in Mogadishu last December.

So Tweety is a fucking idiot.
Who knew?
Tweety is pansexual. Doesn't anyone remember him drooling over Teresa Heinz Kerry after her speech at the Dem Conventicle in Ought-4?
He disarmingly admitted his liking for European glamour, like Jeanne Moreau and Anouk Aimee. I almost liked him at that moment.
Boy's got impulse control problems, no doubt of it.
