Does anyone still doubt that Poppy Bush (or his controllers) are still in power? A good case can be made that these people have been in power since the coup forged by the assassination of John F. Kennedy. LBJ was known in the Press as “The Brown & Root” (Skull & Bones / Halliburton) candidate. The prime benefactor in Vietnam was KBR.

Klein to Hewitt: I slammed Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama last week for voting against the war funding. I mean, this has been something that’s been really important to me and my life since September 11th, when nine of my neighbors here in New York didn’t come home.
I think Joe still has 9/11 and Iraq linked in a kinky way.
JK: Well, also, it’s because there are, you know, this doesn’t represent everybody on the left. It only represents a small segment. But there are people who just don’t want good news from Iraq.
HH: Right.
JK: They want us to lose.
Fuck you, Joe. I'll pat you on the head with a club.

OT: Thousands of people marched through the northern German port city of Rostock on Saturday to protest against the forthcoming Group of Eight meeting of industrialised powers.
Around 13,000 police were on hand, and authorities said about 30,000 protesters had come for the daylong demonstration under the motto "another world is possible".
Police helicopters hovered overhead as demonstrators marched behind a truck blowing out soap bubbles and carrying a rock band that played anti-globalisation songs like "Block G8".

Romney saved the Olympics? Crikey, that's the biggest cash cow around. And by having it in Utah he made sure that it was sparkly white and clean. He didn't save the Olympics. He mormonized it.

Dunno where this came from originally, but my guess would be that if they really still were in charge, they wouldn't have fucked things up nealy this bad. The first rule of successful parasitism is not to kill the host. Jr.&Co. seem to be doing exactly that.

I love that aspect of the various protests. Funny thing is, most of the counter protests were just adults, and any kids there weren't being lovingly held by their parents, or running around with smiles on their faces just being kids, like I saw with the hippies. They were really task-oriented, holding their hateful signs with sick, angry looks on their faces. Quite a contrast.

Took the 5-year-old to see Shrek The Third last night. Man, did that movie stink on ice. It was the first time I have ever watched one of those full-length computer-animated features and really just wanted for it to be over. Even the kid was lukewarm on it. I'm sure this is not news, as the multiplex where I saw it had three theaters playing it and they were all empty, but it bears repeating. Don't do it even for the kids.
"Let's remain civil"
We can't - the liberal blogospehere is full of people telling each other to fuck off. we must keep up appearances.

Well, it's a story he doesn't like to brag about, but The Olympics were in a bad part of Salt Lake City one night, having gotten a little drunk on rubbing alcohol, and stumbled into a dark alley where the Mormon Mob were running a game of Three Card Monte. They were about the slice The Olympics up something good, but The Mittster swung into action with his Mighty Cock of Truth and was able to rescue The Olympics from a horrible fate.

There is no need to address the merits of whatever Michael had been speaking of - it was only noteworthy that Freddy took his little potshot at him.
Nevermind that Micheal Moore's views are consistent with the majority of America's.
It was almost certainly the most important political decision he had ever made but when the representative of José Vigil, the Socialist candidate for mayor of the Spanish village of Carataunas, near Granada, chose heads rather than tails, he got it wrong.
Carataunas' mayor was chosen yesterday by the toss of a 20 cent euro coin, and Mr Vigil lost.
The coin-tossing came after the candidates for Spain's two biggest parties, the Socialists of Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and the opposition People's party, tied on 66 votes apiece at municipal elections on Sunday.

plantsman, she said she'd had one somewhat high blood sugar number 160, but other than that generally around 120, which is not low enough for her GP, but according to the American Diabetes assoc, pretty much OK.

If you can find out where Mrs. Alito shops for her dresses that would be a good place to start.

Conversation with congressman Sestak at FDL now. It should be interesting.
I don't have to worry about upholstery fabrics.
I buy all of my furniture from Unpainted Huffhines.
It won't be 120 forever as it fluctuates constantly in response to food consumption and insulin supply. Many medical people are really hard-core about what others, facing chronic conditions they are not facing, should do. The ADA is much more reality-based and forgiving.
Jennifer - right now, I've got my eye on some handsomeUnika Vaev.
ciao for now
Her GP does not have diabetes, I presume?
No, nor high cholesterol, which is the other thing they are treating.
I wish I could get him together with my GI doc. If she'd just eat more vegetables and whole grains, instead of refined wheat, the cholestrol numbers would improve. (Hah, I found a couple weeks ago that frys has albino whole grain white (in appearance only, it's still whole grain) flour. I've been using it for what ever baking I'm doing. However, to me it seems heavier than the brown whole wheat flour I'd been using. A pizza crust for one example, comes out tougher and less light.
My total cholesterol is 161, but my HDL is low and my triglycerides are out of control. One gift GWPDA imparted to me: relax, don't try and do everything at once - it's a lifelong process.
plantsman - from what I read about the cinnamon, it should help with your cholesterol as well.
I think she's doing pretty well. Soda pop has been dropped from her diet, and she's been good about replacing sugar with 'splenda'. It's not as tasty, but it's OK.
I've not been baking any sweets for many months, so she won't be tempted by this.
My son also thinks this is good. He's become sort of a physical fitness nut, so he's not asked for sweet things in a while though I know he likes them.

What WOULD the 'pukes DO withOUT Michael Moore or the Clintons to piss and moan about?
Oroweat Bread has a WholeWheat "Double Fiber" bread I like for sandwiches, and subtracting all that fiber from total carbs is just plain fun. However, they also have a "Whole Grain & Flax" with Omega-3 that contains so little Omega-3 they won't say how much anywhere on the label.

from FDL comments:
Mr. Sestak, I spent three years in Iraq as a private contractor. I travelled from one military base to another and was shocked at the extent of the military presence. The huge ultra-bases include two-story gyms, multiple swimming pools, baseball fields, football fields, beauty parlors, massage parlors, movie theaters, etc … My lifestyle in Iraq and the food I ate was much better than in the USA.
Obviously we are building mega-mega-American colonies to control the area for centuries. It is plainly obvious to anyone who sees these American cities.
What would you tell the Iraqi people about these American cities inside their borders. And what would you tell the Iraqis immediately outside the razor wire who are begging for water and dressed in rags? Inside the base we ate baskin robbins ice cream along with twenty other dessert selections every day.

spinoza's one smart cookie. Here's a comment he left over at FDL:
Supporting Sestak or whomever may be important. And his betrayal to contributors may be important. But to me it is the tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians-mothers and children- who will undoubtedly die in the next few months that have been betrayed by his vote. There is little or no humanity in voting to fight a war that no one wants except for the Bush/Cheney axis of evil. If the Middle East is supposedly a volatile mix, all we have done in the past 4 years is pour more gasoline on it. One hundred billion dollars is a lot of money that could have done humanity some good. It is a fool’s wish that it will serve any good now.
Bravo.

No title to the panel given, except "Book and Author Luncheon."

Murka: Winning hearts and minds worldwide.
I haven't checked out the cargo worker story, but this is probably the same guy who planned to take down the Brooklyn Bridge with an acetylene torch.
I seem to remember Eastern Star and its sister organization being connected to some fundamentalist denomination back when I was a kid.
plantsman: Buy your self some beer and a treat, and cry in your beer.
Well, not all is lost. Depending on what's happening with my firend's schedule, he agreed to loan me a few hunnert bux until next Friday to go get a new Genuine Buddy 125 or Kymco Agility 125, both of which come with a 2-year warranty (the Buddy has a year of roadside assistance, too!). All my research says either of these bikes will make a perfect commuter scooter for me, and won't break the bank. They're Taiwanese, and have excellent dealer networks (several places here in N'ville carry and service those brands).
.
Joe Wilson is over there, too (FDL)?
"While this is an Order composed of people of deep spiritual convictions, it is open to all faiths, except no faith."
I nearly joined a Moose lodge (only bar in a small panhandle town) until I had to sign a pledge that i believe in God. Although in retrospect I might have done it, since I don't think god would care . . .
I just wasn't comfortable being dishonest about it.
Joe Wilson is over there, too...
Yes, and I politely disagreed with him.
So much for "lockstep"!
Dude's best price is $120 above KBB high retail, and he won't come off it, 'cause he paid too much for it, and says he doesn't have to sell it.

I stay far, far away. My mom has been wrapped into it since the 70s. My dad's third wife is in it now. My dad is in it at some level (He is a Mason). My dad keeps trying to figure out why mom is still active since she is divorced. I have sat in on a couple of the ceremonies. I left feeling a bit creeped out.
EkCenTriK: The scooter market is beginning to sound like a muscle car market after reading your experiences. Wild.
If you mean a limited market and limited supply of scooters, in this area at least, that's all true. Makes buying a used one VERY difficult.

Eh, no harm. I offered him better than halfway between trade-in and high retail, and that was $300 less than he was willing to take, so... no sale.
I'll be just as happy with the Kymco or Genuine. They're both high-quality Taiwanese bikes with local dalers and service. I didn't realize until last night that the Vino 50 and 125 are both built in Taiwan for Yamaha... probably by either PGO (Genuine) or Kymco!
Plus... a warranty? I won't know how to act!

That's a stupid thing to say, and says more about Robinson than Gore.
Personally, I thought Gore's claim that he was fed up with the superficiality of politics rang pretty true.
Not that I wouldn't be happy if he ran, of course...but it may well be that only a lunatic would want to be president these days. And Gore's quite sane.

news/new
Again if he is hanging back, it is a smart move. The pundits really can't devote their time to trashing him while there are active candidates in the field.
I will say he could totally throw Hillary and Obama to the curb if he ran. I am not sure if he would do that on an ethical basis.
Edwards, he might have to breath hard a bit to overcome.
And at this point, excluding the die hard Republican supporters, Gore would probably take a good chunk away from the Republican candidates.
