Over the past six years, the Bush administration has spent just under $100 million on a highly classified program to help Gen. Pervez Musharraf secure Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, according to current and former senior administration officials.
[...]
The aid, buried in secret portions of the federal budget, paid for the training of Pakistani personnel in the United States and the construction of a nuclear security training center in Pakistan, a facility that American officials say is nowhere near completion, even though it was supposed to be in operation this year.
A raft of equipment — from helicopters to night-vision goggles to nuclear detection equipment — was given to Pakistan to help secure its nuclear material, its warheads, and the laboratories that were the site of the worst known case of nuclear proliferation in the atomic age.

I'm not surprised at this; the US secretly leaked Nuclear surety information to the USSR during the cold war to help them keep track of their nukes.
Pakistan needs this very badly. There's no telling who can get their hands on Pakistan's nuclear information or product.
Of course, given the nature of Mushy's regime, I have no doubt that some of this aid wound up in Swiss bank accounts.

I missed this from the NYT link:
The American program was created after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, when the Bush administration debated whether to share with Pakistan one of the crown jewels of American nuclear protection technology, known as “permissive action links,” or PALS, a system used to keep a weapon from detonating without proper codes and authorizations.
In the end, despite past federal aid to France and Russia on delicate points of nuclear security, the administration decided that it could not share the system with the Pakistanis because of legal restrictions.
In addition, the Pakistanis were suspicious that any American-made technology in their warheads could include a secret “kill switch,” enabling the Americans to turn off their weapons.
GWPDA- Moroccan lentil soup:

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
6 cups water

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

1/2 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Tralfaz The War Room is about the Clinton first run for president. In it you see where Carville gets his reputation. It is actually very interesting. Everyone talks about his, 'It's the economy stupid' bit, but I found his way of dealing with the smears and rumors that come out of the blue most interesting.
In the movie some reporter was fed the letter from the Pentagon that was from Bill Clinton asking to get out of the draft. Carville's first response was, 'I can't comment about the letter because I' haven't seen it, but you need to ask the question. Who in the Pentagon is providing personal information and providing it to the press?" He pushed back hard at the first steps of the swiftboating and said, "Consider the source."
I think a lot about how to deal with smears and get ahead of them and I found that interesting.

SHOCKING!!
In an upcoming BBC documentary entitled The Blair Years, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair “admitted for the first time that he ignored the pleas of his aides and ministers to deter President Bush from waging war on Iraq because he believed that America was doing the right thing. And he has acknowledged that he turned down a last-ditch offer from Mr Bush to pull Britain out of the conflict.” By the spring of 2004, Blair was suffering a “crisis of confidence” about the decision he made:
Tony Blair suffered an extraordinary crisis of confidence which almost triggered his resignation three years before he left office, his friends have suggested.
In the spring of 2004, Mr Blair was deeply depressed by the failure to secure a lasting peace in Iraq and relations had plummeted to a new low with Gordon Brown because of his refusal to set a date to quit 10 Downing Street.
So Tony Blair is a fucking stupid depressed poodle?

Dood, as usual you miss the point. The argument is that journalistic animus toward bloggers is not really about politics but rather about the journalists' sense that they are somehow different, better, and more professional. Atrios is merely pointing out the hypocrisy when the so-called journalists who make this claim are the ones that do no actual reporting and merely present their opinions--which is also what most bloggers do. The talking heads are threatened regardless of their political persuasion and lash out at those who are basically saying the emperor has no clothes and that anyone--either on the left or the right--can do what someone like George Will or James Carville does.

TBogg & the Exterminating Angels of Moroni
A "drunken Catholic priest" . Yeah, right. As if. Next thing you know they'll be making up some ridiculous story about how he also had a taste for some "altar boy lovin' ". Either way, it's pretty obvious that what we call "cold-blooded murder", they call "emotion-free crisis management". And now the only witnesses that can still be located all happen to belong to a secretive cult that won't let non-believers into their "temples", which is probably where they stash the bodies until they eat them and then weave their hair into magical underwear....
Look. All I'm saying is : Is it irresponsible to speculate? It would be irresponsible not to. So the next time a couple of nice young men in white shirts and ties come knocking on your door, I suggest you be nice and invite them in for pie and fruit punch. Because you don't want your last living memory to be the feel of cold steel against the back of your head and then hearing someone say, "Tagg. You're it."

From the Times:
Mr. Romney was at the wheel of car involved in a head-on collision on a country road, killing the wife of the mission president. Mr. Romney, who was not at fault in the accident, was knocked out — even mistakenly pronounced dead at the scene — but quickly recovered. When the president went back to the United States, Mr. Romney and Mr. McKinnon were left in charge of the other missionaries for three months.

Police and clergy in southern Russia are trying to negotiate with members of a doomsday cult barricaded inside a cave and threatening to blow it up.
The group calls itself the "True Russian Orthodox Church". Members are waiting for the end of the world, which they are expecting to happen next May.
They say they have enough food and water to last out the winter, as well as large quantities of petrol.
The cult leader did not join them, and has been arrested by police.
Russian television showed pictures of black-robed Orthodox monks scaling down into a snow-covered gully in a forest in the Penza region, about 650km (400 miles) south-east of Moscow.

I strongly believe that we will succeed in Iraq and fight againts terrorism . Iraq war is not a mistake. Getting rid of Saddam was the right thing to do. We only used military force because Saddam wants war . He was given a chance to go on exile but refused . If he only did , there will be no war . I also believe that good always defeats evil . These Al-Queda and other terrorist will be defeated . If only other countries are not afraid to fight againts terror, these terrorist groups has been defeated a long time ago . I always believe on President Bush for doing the right thing. He is the only president who stood up againts Saddam. The left wing Democrats only want us to lose in the war and to stab the troops in the back. I am ashamed of them.

At least 30 people have been killed and more than 100 wounded in sectarian clashes between Sunni and Shia Muslims in a Pakistani tribal region near the Afghan border, officials say.
Clashes broke out on Friday in Parachinar, the main town in Pakistan's northern Kurram tribal region.
Haneef Jan, head of Kurram tribal agency hospital in Parachinar, said: "Nineteen bodies have been brought from different areas while a woman died of wounds at the hospital.
"More than 100 people are also being treated mainly for bullet wounds, of which some 10 to 12 are critically injured."

The two-day summit, only the third in Opec's 47-year history, will not discuss whether or not to increase oil supplies in order to cool high prices.
The gathering comes at a time of tension in world oil markets.

The decline of the dollar, symbol of US global hegemony for the best part of a century, may have become so entrenched that some experts now fear it is irreversible.
After months of huge and sustained turmoil on the money markets, lack of confidence in the world's totemic currency has become so widespread that an increasing number of international traders are transferring their wealth to stronger currencies such as the euro, which recently hit its highest level against the dollar.
"An American businessman over here who is given the choice would take anything but the dollar," David Buik of Cantor Index said yesterday. "I would want to be paid in yen, and if not yen then the euro or sterling."
Matthew Osborne, of Armstrong International, added: "The majority would say sterling. There are a few dealers in the City who may take the view that they'll take dollars now, while they're cheap, and hold on to them for 12 months.
"But the problem is so serious that there are people who in July or August might have been thinking, 'I'm paid in dollars, how annoying' for whom it's now a question of, 'Do you have a job; do you have a bonus?' "

The collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market in the US, which is fuelling the dollar unrest, has already brought down one British bank, Northern Rock, and has forced others to declare vast losses. Yesterday, just as it appeared that the dollar might have finally reached its floor, there was another warning that the sub-prime crisis is going to get worse. The US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, warned an international business summit in South Africa: "The sub-prime market, parts of it will get worse before it gets better." Huge numbers of US homeowners are still cushioned by introductory interest rates set when they took out loans in 2005 or 2006, he said. When these introductory offers run out, their interest payments will increase, setting off another wave of defaulting and repossessions. And the dollar is enduring its rockiest spell in recent memory.
Kenneth Froot, a Harvard university professor and former consultant to the US Federal Reserve, warned yesterday: "Part of the depreciation [of the dollar] is permanent. There is no doubt that the dollar must sink against periphery currencies to reflect their increase in competitiveness and productivity."

concern over the weakness of the US dollar
I guess we can start calling it the "sand dollar".
Professor Riordan Roett, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, told Bloomberg News: "There is a loss of confidence in the dollar and the US. It may only reflect the widespread dismay with the Bush administration, but it is obvious that the next administration, of either party, will have a steep uphill struggle." As well as reaching its lowest level against the euro, which has been trading at more than $1.47, the dollar has also fallen to its lowest level against the Canadian dollar since 1950, sterling since 1981, and the Swiss franc since 1995.
Its plight was made still worse by a jarring signal from China that it was switching to other currencies. Cheng Siwei, vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, told a conference in Beijing: "We will favour stronger currencies over weaker ones, and will readjust accordingly."
The warning was reinforced by a Chinese central bank vice-director, Xu Jian, who said the dollar was "losing its status as the world currency".

Yep. How rude was it to drop that steaming turd, and then run out of the room?
China has stockpiled Ł700bn worth of foreign currency, and has only to decide to slow its accumulation of dollars to weaken the currency further. Last month, in a humiliating turn of events, the central bank in Iraq, four years after the United States invaded, stated that it wished to diversify reserves from a reliance on dollars.
Korea's central bank has urged shipbuilders to issue invoices in the local currency and take precautions against the weakened dollar, and three of the world's big oil exporters, Iran, Venezuela, and Russia, are demanding payment in euros rather than dollars. Iran insisted that Japan should make all its payments for oil in yen, rather than dollars.
Warren Buffet, who is reputedly the richest man in the world, was asked on the US network CNBC last month what he thought was the best currency in the world to own now. He answered: "Not the US dollar."

The euro came top, ahead of sterling, with others such as the Canadian dollar, yen and Swiss franc trailing far behind.

Problems with the greenback, combined with cheap air fares, have encouraged more Britons to go shopping across the Atlantic. British tourists spent Ł785m in New York last year, the city's marketing and tourism organisation said yesterday. There were 1,169,000 visitors to New York from the UK in 2006, with 54 per cent going for four to seven nights and 31 per cent staying for two to three nights. They spent an average of Ł112 a day. The average age of the UK visitor is 40.
Christopher Heywood, director of tourism PR for NYC & Company, said he expected the dollar crisis to attract yet more British shoppers. "The savvy traveller who's coming here for the shopping can really get a bargain. They're coming with one suitcase and leaving with two or three," he said.
"We have people coming over here even for weekend trips to shop for the famous brand names. People are coming for the department stores that everyone around the world knows, but also for the boutique stores out of the centre of Manhattan, anything from Madison Avenue and Fifth Avenue to Bleecker Street in the West Village and SoHo."

Thanks for the How to Get Banned on Liberal Blogs link.
Wow. Talk about projection:
What if you want to get banned from a liberal blog? It is not like they really discuss anything of importance, or even anything that is being talked about on the main blog. They are really just social chat boards where online loonies still living in their parents' basements can go and pretend that they have friends.

Phila,
if you are still here. Is there an absolute need for chromosomes? I can imagine a sea of DNA that is continuous rather than divided into units. Of course, chromosomes allow all kinds of interesting genetic tricks. But is there something required? It's odd that the number of them varies so widely among species.
A second question. Could one park selection at the level of chromosomes, somewhere between Dawkins' genes and Gould's phenotype?
well Israel have beaten Russia 2-1

I suspect that without chromosomes to keep everything in order, there'd be a lot more mistakes during DNA manipulation, leading to mutations.
Mutations, while they are occasionaly beneficial and thus vital to evolution, are usually bad, and frequently fatal.
If you are a likable poster, the kind of person that people like to talk to, that makes the liberals really mad too.
Yeah, this jerkoff and his sockpuppet army are REAL popular.

Like what sort of dinosaurs Adam & Eve rode around on, and the cyclic rate of fire of an M16A2...the really important stuff.
And this one takes the cake:
Be funnier than they are.
This works particularly well on the humorous blogs, such as Jesus' General. If a blogger thinks they are the funniest thing in pants, then you come on and are funnier than they are,
well, they ban you. Its as simple as that.
Let's face it, who hasn't spewed a drink into the monitory because of the uproariously funny things that analannie and shoelimpy had to say?

"Saudi court increases punishment for rape victim. A 19-year old gang-rape victim saw her punishment increased by a Saudi court. The seven rapists had originally received sentences ranging from 10 months to five years in prison, but the victim’s lawyer challenged the sentencing as too light. A Saudi appeals court agreed and made the punishment two to nine years for the rapists. But the Saudi court also increased the punishment for the victim, who had originally received 90 lashes for “meeting with an unrelated male.” The court increased her punishment to six months in prison and 200 lashes. CNN reports:
The judges more than doubled the punishment for the victim because of “her attempt to aggravate and influence the judiciary through the media,” according to a source quoted by Arab News, an English-language Middle Eastern daily newspaper."

Turkish police have clashed with hundreds of supporters of a pro-Kurdish party in the south-eastern city of Van.
Tear gas was used to break up the rally by the Democratic Society Party when activists chanted in favour of jailed Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan.
On Friday, prosecutors opened a case aimed at banning the DTP, which has 20 seats in the 550-member parliament.
Prosecutors allege the party is linked to the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). The DTP denies any such claim.
The legal action comes amid tensions with Iraq over Turkey's threat to make cross-border attacks on PKK bases.

Murtha Two Years Ago Today: Bush’s Iraq Course Is ‘Flawed Policy Wrapped In Illusion’
Today marks two years from the day that Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) boldly called for a timetable for redeployment of U.S. forces out of Iraq. “The war in Iraq is not going as advertised. It is a flawed policy wrapped in illusion,” Murtha said, adding that his call for withdrawal was motivated by deep concern for the state of the military:
This war needs to be personalized. As I said before I have visited with the severely wounded of this war. They are suffering. Because we in Congress are charged with sending our sons and daughters into battle, it is our responsibility, our obligation to speak out for them. That’s why I am speaking out.
I guess I'm willing to overlook a certain amount, in the name of respecting other peoples cultures, but the level of unpleasantness in Saudi Arabia just seems terribly terribly wrong. And rather unislamic, for that matter.

Phila,
Well, you run a great blog and seem educated. My second question was that maybe selection was acting at the level of chromosomes. So genes are inherent but they are just smaller mechanisms. Chromosomes may fight it out in meiosis for example. I remember reading somewhere that the male Y chromosome is actually being beaten up and trashed. Meiosis may be a kind of lek or whatever type recombination in which some chromosomes fight to preserve parts of their pieces, or maybe their whole identity. Cross overs and such may be some sort of appeasement.

It is a remarkable shopping list by any standards. And it has landed the Saudi ambassador to Britain with a possible Ł3m debt, and the embarrassment of having allegations about the ostentatious spending habits of the royal family laid bare.
Bills he is claimed to have run up on an array of luxury amusements include two top-of-the-range Chevrolet 4x4s, a thermal night vision kit for his Hummer H2, dozens of designer watches and jewels, a selection of handguns and two Arab karaoke machines. One takeaway meal came to almost $800 (Ł391). And then there is the $2,500 item on a trip to a hotel in Casablanca that reads: "Girls: party night 5".
Article continues
These, and scores of others, are detailed in documents filed to the high court in a claim against the ambassador, Prince Mohammed bin Nawwaf bin Abdul Aziz, a nephew of King Abdullah.
Last month, he was ordered to pay more than Ł3m to his family's former private secretary, Walid El Hage, a Briton of Lebanese extraction and a former director of an Arab bookshop in the UK, who spent many years as confidante to the ambassador and his father. He claims he spent the money on their behalf.

Here Timaeon, come here boy! I have a nice waterboard for you!
igit in chief throws a hissy:
Earlier this month, House Democrats pushed through an $80 billion bill that would extend AMT relief for one year, at a cost of about $50 billion. It also includes another $30 billion in popular tax relief measures. To cover the $80 billion price tag, the bill would bring in revenue by changing tax rules affecting corporate transactions.
The White House said this amounts to a tax increase that would undermine the competitiveness of U.S. businesses in the global economy and could have adverse effects on the U.S. economy. Some pro-business Democrats joined Republicans in expressing concern that the carried interest provision could hurt venture capital and real estate investors as well as hedge fund managers making hundreds of millions of dollars.
"Congress should not use legislation that millions of Americans are counting on to protect them from higher taxes in one area as an excuse to raise taxes in other areas," Bush said.
During the House debate on the bill, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said that "while virtually all of us want to mitigate the reach of the AMT, Republicans are complaining that Democrats have the audacity to close tax loopholes and to insist on fiscal responsibility."

Nothing wrong with brining it, but you need a container that's big enough to hold the turkey and enough room in the fridge to accommodate it.

So cutting taxes for millions of people is a new tax?

OK, from what I've seen you are a perfectly nice gentleman, one with whom I share a lot of opinions.
Nevertheless, I would greatly appreciate your getting the fuck out of my head.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
I considered waterboarding my cat once, but the cat vetoed the idea.

The guy who did the dog's voice was the late Tim McIntire, the wonderful actor who played Alan Freed in AMERICAN HOT WAX.
Still the best rock movie not on video...

"New Mercedes only every other year?

See, you understand!
Brining makes for a mushy consistency. Injection (the turkey, not the cook) is the way to go.
Obama Statement:
"At the very same time, in Washington, Robert Novak was publishing a column in which he reported the following: 'Agents of Sen. Hillary Clinton are spreading the word in Democratic circles that she has scandalous information about her principal opponent for the party's presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama...'
But in the interest of our party, and her own reputation, Senator Clinton should either make public any and all information referred to in the item, or concede the truth: that there is none."
Howard Wolfson:
Once again Senator Obama is echoing Republican talking points, this time from Bob Novak.
This is how Republicans work.
A Republican-leaning journalist runs a blind item designed to set Democrats against one another. Experienced Democrats see this for what it is. Others get distracted and thrown off their games.
Voters should be concerned about the readiness of any Democrat inexperienced enough to fall for this.
There is a campaign in this race that has engaged in the very practice that Senator Obama is decrying, and it's his.
We have no idea what Mr. Novak's item is about and reject it totally. Instead of pointing fingers at us, Senator Obama should get back to the issues and focus on what this election is really about.

GWPDA,
Oh, sorry. must be a tom, hens have breasts.
still keep the water boiling, that'll prevent drying.
I love the Buzzcocks!
The thing is, I only asked for a little off the top.
"If you don't tell us where you've hidden Dr. McCoy
He's dead, Jim."
am I the only one who wanted Deforest Kelly's last words to be "I'm dead, Jim"
Then again I am uncool
The problem with any kind of torture used to extract information is that it doesn't work. That a discussion debating the use of waterboarding is even entertained shows how low this country has sunk.
This is another reason to totally repudiate it, along with the obvious moral reasons. Yet the democrats, having a chance to show their outrage by not confirming the latest Attorney General, showed themselves as the complete and utter pussies that they are. Useless fucks.
The guy that outed Valerie Plame shits and obama rolls around in it.
Obama and his people are being real chumps about this.
The correct approach to Novakula's crap is to ignore it for the pure horseshit it is.
Obama is playing right into Rove's hands, and he's too fucking stupid to realize it.
He's not ready for prime time.
Alan Freed- one of the 1st to get fundie slimed. its the beat, the beat'.
yeah its the beat, the beat of my hammer pounding nails into your wrists.
sheets!

Obama really seems intent on proving that he's not ready for prime time.
I like a lot of his positions (not all, believe me) but as a campaigner he's been a disappointment...

You're cooking Pam Anderson's chest?
Say! Before I smoke that turkey, do you think I can get away with brining it? The darned thing's nearly 9lbs and that's quite a lot of drying-up potential for long term smoking. Whadya think?
I've smoked many a turkey, and will smoke another this year. Brining is essential, even if you're using a smoker with a water pan. You can also add more moisture by injecting some of the brine solution into the meat. The only concern is that you can make the bird too salty. I go with a fresh hen that I buy from a local farm, which is not pre-injected with a saline solution and, thus, doesn't get too salty tasting if I both brine and inject. If you're going with a store-bought, salt-injected bird, consider cutting down the amount of salt in the brine (which I do anyway). I like to concentrate on flavors in the brine (like apples and garlic) rather than jacking up the salt content into the stratosphere.

Nine pound breasts?
Can we send a photographer over for a photo session?
As reported on Keith last night, nearly half the earmarks that w is whining about were put into the budget at the WH's request. including $s for poppy's thousand points of light foundation. Neat trick that, set up a foundation and have the taxpayers fund it. Scum.
