And the answer is (sealed in a mayonnaise jar... Funk 'n Wagnall's porch...)... David Ignatius!
Try to imagine what was running through the mind of Hassan Kazemi Qomi, Iran’s ambassador to Baghdad, as he sat across the negotiating table from his American counterpart, Ryan Crocker, last week. While the U.S. diplomat delivered his stern warning against Iranian meddling in Iraq, Qomi must have wondered: Why should I listen to this guy? Congress is going to start pulling U.S. troops out soon, no matter what he says.
That's the difficulty for Crocker and Gen. David Petraeus as they try to manage a stable transition in Iraq while Congress chants ever more loudly: "Troops out! Troops out!" It's hard for anyone to take American power seriously when prominent members of Congress are declaring the war already lost...

Naaaaah. They don't care about questions. They know that the Democrats will take over and "rescind" all those sweet, sweet spying powers the Preznit granted himself.
And the Dems will raise taxes, reduce wasteful spending, balance the budget, and then in 8 or 12 years the Cons will say, "The Dems raised your taxes: they suck."
And the People will elect a Republican government and taxes will be lowered on the rich, wars will be started, and secret spy powers will be wielded again.

...As far as we can tell, there are three possible explanations for Mr. Gonzales’s talk about a dispute over other — unspecified — intelligence activities. One, he lied to Congress. Two, he used a bureaucratic dodge to mislead lawmakers and the public: the spying program was modified after Mr. Ashcroft refused to endorse it, which made it “different” from the one Mr. Bush has acknowledged. The third is that there was more wiretapping than has been disclosed, perhaps even purely domestic wiretapping, and Mr. Gonzales is helping Mr. Bush cover it up.
Democratic lawmakers are asking for a special prosecutor to look into Mr. Gonzales’s words and deeds. Solicitor General Paul Clement has a last chance to show that the Justice Department is still minimally functional by fulfilling that request.
Spying on the Kerry Campaign or the Dem Party is probably the one thing that would make the loyal Bushies balk. Smart money says that Ashcroft balked at that point.

The original powershare agreement with photovoltaic community college sources was ridiculously subsidized and prorated in favor of big energy.

IN 1998, MI6 didn't want to turn Bin Laden over to the CIA, if they could catch him, unless the CIA could give assurances Bin Laden would not be tortured.
Astute readers will note that was before Bush was elected. Tell me again everything will be different with a Democrat in the White House, and all this wiretapping will just go away, or Congress will forcibly eliminate it.
The CIA couldn't do that.

You're welcome buddy. I think in a lot of ways, since you're a subcontractor, you're in a better position than many to do some of this stuff.
And the trick is to at least do something. If eveyone does something, the cumulative effect will be quite positive.
Yes, I am in a position that many are not where I can help us save energy. While I'm working I look for ways to conserve as much as possible.
I have six more weeks of poisoning myself and then I'm supposed to regain my energy, memory, (hair) and all I've lost over the last year. Maybe I can start doing some of the stuff you all are egging me on to do.

Echidne: I only WISH I had been smart enough to get my grandmother to explain all the skills she had for preserving fruits, cooking in a kind of intuitive way that had nothing to do with formal recipes, making a little go a long way, all kinds of knowledge that was traditional in the Western US for women of her generation (b. 1912). Now they put on demonstrations of canning, preserving and so forth as historical recreations.

The energy of slaves. We've gotten used to using sources of energy which are not replenishable, mostly petroleum based. It created a shift uknown in human history, one so dramatic we assumed it would last forever.
It won't. And what was once natural (flooding, hurricanes) are now disasters we simply can't cope with. Where I live in Houston, people used to live on farms not 70 years ago. If a hurricane swept through they went inside, and came out when it stopped. They picked up the debris, lit the lamps, pumped their water, and went on.
Rita paralyzed this city, and it never even hit us. We lost power for 36 hours, and could hardly do anything but suffer in the heat.

But he knows that just like people, institutions have the ability to change and Princeton has changed for the better. He applauds Princeton for the gains it has made and continues to make."

They say it's really nothing, you've got to be broadminded
That word in my Bible is spelled "s-i-n".

There are '3-way' compact fluorescents. There may be dimmable fluorescents but the physics of how an incandescent works vs. a fluorescent is very different.
And yes the corkscrew ones are fluorescents but as I said I can easily tell the difference by the 'quality' of the light.

it should be obvious that the GOP are using warrantless surveillance to spy on Democratic politicians and candidates ---
they misuse the state department to campaign
they misuse the justice department to suppress the Democratic vote and to maliciously prosecute Democratic politicans just before elections
they misuse the surgeon general's office to promote GOP ideology --
so of course they misuse surveillance powers to gather in formation on their political opponents
Come 2008 there will be mysterious video tapes of Democratic candidates or their wives or husbands -- and the GOP will be mysteriously prescient in their ability to derail Democratic political strategy

I'm always enthralled by the way New Orleans movies manage to mangle the reality of the French Quarter (it doesn't always look like Mardi Gras! Seriously!) and the accent (NOLA accents are closer to Brooklyn than to Cajun).
Worst offender, though:
"Albino Alligator" which takes place in a (get this) cellar bar.

I've long been under the impression that this was an automated multi-language voice recognition and transcription system (with literally thousands of supercomputer-class machines) that, once it flagged someone for the use of a suspicious phrase, would find other entities contacted by the flagged "suspect" and flag them for monitoring as well. And so on and so on... No probable cause, but it creates an ever-expanding web of "suspects" to monitor all phone calls and email threads of the whole class of "suspects." This would form a massive database to then be data-mined. The system also used the giant database of telephone company call/billing records to flag other related entities that had any relation to one of its "suspects." The potential for abuse of such a system is tremendous. If true, it could potentially spread its web over a significant percentage of the (totally innocent) US population, transcribing and storing everything in real time.
At least that's what I gathered from James Risen's "State of War," who was also the author if the NYT story (plus other tech sources as well.)
Creepy stuff and definitely illegal - but that's why they decided that they could not comply with FISA. They didn't even know for sure who was to be monitored, as the system would "crawl" to wherever the flags led it in the communications network based on what it finds.
I suspect that up until 2004, when Ashcroft needed surgery, he never looked into the details of what the NSA system did and just signed off on it. But Comey might have wanted to know more before renewing approval. When he found out that it was operating the way it did, he objected and others joined him. Then they somehow scaled down the program to squeak out some basic level of legal sign-off, naming the modified version of the program "Terrorist Surveillance Program" and Gonzales has been treating the new version as a whole different program in some of his testimony. All of the disabled "features" are now referred to as "other intelligence activities" - that no one is willing to talk about. And once Gonzales became the guy to do the sign-offs, who knows if they haven't gone and re-enabled all of the features? It wouldn't surprise me. Remember that when Negroponte moved from DNI to Sate Dept, it was rumored that he wasn't comfortable with the increased level of wiretap surveillance that Cheney was insisting upon and moved over to save his own ass, and they replaced him with someone more "loyal."

Yes and no.

Movies with scenes filmed in or around Tracy: 1. "Take the Money and Run." The "chain gang" scenes were filmed in the San Joaquin Delta outside of Tracy. Woody Allen actually spoke at a lunch meeting of the local Chamber of Commerce during the filming. 2. "The Candidate" with Robert Redford. There's a parade sequence with cheerleaders and bands that was filmed during the high school homecoming parade. There's also a conference room scene that was filmed at the local newspaper office. A friend's sister actually ran lines with Redford there.
Another movie filmed in Santa Rosa: "Smile" with Bruce Dern. Directed by Michael Ritchie, who also directed "The Candidate."

ok, I want to apologize for the warm milk comment . . . . and the "testosterone" response I gave about an hour ago, which I thought was absolutely funny,
my guess as to what we're going to find out - the Bush administration, post 9/11, got all major cell phone, regular phone, internet, etc. providers to agree to data sharing. all conversations, ALL of them, recorded and entered into a search-able database, and then they spent lots of time and money searching for specific terms, anything they didn't like not just terrorism-related. and they used the info to fuck with, trail, follow, spy on, hound, arrest and imprison people, all with illegally obtained information. if you wrote your friend an email or text about wanting to get some weed, its in there. if you had an angry conversation about hating Bush, its in there. what else could be so bad that they'd go to these lenghts?

Uncle B, I'm at about the same point, but no talking with anyone. I tend to go to ground and isolate from time to time, and this is one of them. Restorative measures, I guess.
BTW, I was lousy at geometry. Don;t exactly know why - could have been the hatchet-faced teacher with hair dyed matte-black who took an instant dislike to me the moment I walked into her classroom. She took pleasure (the little smirk gave it away) in making me feel stupid. So, I got to where, wtf, looks like a circle (square, rectangle etc etc) to me. Too bad, too, because it really is essential. Guess I should find me a text and read it one fine day.
