There was some concern troll earlier who, even though a "life long liberal" was shocked and appalled at the thought of his child seeing porn and how soul-destroying it would be. (or some such crapola like that. No one was really paying attention.) He then took offense at being told to bugger off and take his concern troll BS with him.

At what will soon be a total tab of $576 billion, the Iraq war is second in cost only to World War II. According to CNN's report, every minute troops are deployed in Iraq, the American public pays $200,000 to keep them there. Since the money is not allocated by Congress as part of the regular budget, there is little oversight of how it is spent and Billions of dollars remain unaccounted for in Iraq as the costs continue to mount.

SECRETARY RICE: Let me just say that we have an unfolding story in Pakistan. There appear to be authoritative sources, Pakistani television, saying that a state of emergency is going to be declared. We've not heard from President Musharraf, to my knowledge, yet.
I just want to be clear that the United States has made clear that it does not support extra-constitutional measures because those measures would take Pakistan away from the path of democracy and civilian rule. And whatever happens, we will be urging a quick return to a constitutional order, we will be urging that the commitment to hold free and fair elections be kept, and we'll be urging calm on all the parties.

I don't think the U.S. should have invaded Afghanistan, either. As much as I dislike the Taliban, the way to deal with Bin Laden was thru the justice system - you know, proof he did it, extradition, trial, then punishment if convicted. We didn't even try to determine if the Afghans were bluffing when they offered to turn Bin Laden over if we supplied them evidence.
At most any invasion should have been a police action to get Bin Laden and his people, which Bush singularly (and intentionally?) failed to do.

20071...WIVZ_3SDQ4PLBIF
NEW YORK - An Abyssinian cat from Missouri, named Cinnamon, has just made scientific history. Researchers have largely decoded her DNA, a step that may aid the search for treatments for both feline and human diseases.
The report adds cats to the roughly two dozen mammals whose DNA has been unraveled, a list that includes dogs, chimps, rats, mice, cows and of course, people.
Why add cats? They get more than 200 diseases that resemble human illnesses, and knowing the details of their genetic makeup should help in the search for vaccines and treatments, researchers say. The list includes a cat version of AIDS, SARS, diabetes, retinal disease and spina bifida, said Stephen J. O'Brien of the National Cancer Institute.
The new work is reported in the November issue of the journal Genome Research by a team including O'Brien and colleague Joan Pontius. It covers about two-thirds of the DNA of Cinnamon, a research cat that lives at the University of Missouri in Columbia; more complete results are expected next year, O'Brien said.
Richard Gibbs of the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, who led a team that decoded the DNA of a monkey called the rhesus macaque, called the new work "a good outline" of cat DNA. Scientists are looking forward to the complete version, which will be useful for making detailed comparisons to the DNA of other animals, he said.

From this month's American Prospect:
"The Revolt of the Comic Books
America's superheroes take on preemptive war, torture, warrantless spying, and George W. himself.
Julian Sanchez | October 22, 2007
A superhero killed the president this summer. Moments later, a shocked White House press corps watched as John Horus, his gleaming white-and-gold costume still soaked in blood, explained why. Because "the war in Iraq is illegal and predicated on lies," because "our people and theirs are dying for corporate gain," because of the "use of torture by our elected authorities," and because the president "stole the last two elections," the most powerful member of the Seven Guns could no longer "stand by while this administration commits crimes." In response, a terrified government imposed martial law, launching a nationwide manhunt for Horus' estranged teammates, whose reactions to the act ranged from horror to sympathy.
That bit of propaganda-by-the-deed launched acclaimed British scribe Warren Ellis' Black Summer, an eight-issue comic book miniseries from Avatar Press. And though heroes at industry giants DC Comics and Marvel have shown more restraint -- even after Superman's Lex Luthor won the Oval Office in 2000 -- the post–September 11 era has seen an explosion of politically themed storylines in mainstream as well as independent comics. While real-world presidential candidates invoke supercop Jack Bauer, of the TV series 24, as a guide to national security policy, a more nuanced debate about preemptive war, warrantless surveillance, and the responsibility that comes with great power is taking place in an illustrated universe.
In one sense, this is nothing new. The very first issue of Captain America (1941) showed the star-spangled super-soldier punching out Adolf Hitler, prompting criticism from both Nazi sympathizers and those who considered der Führer Europe's problem. Superman and Batman hawked war bonds while facing down monstrous racist caricatures of buck-toothed Japs."

Liberalism is nothing new in academia. Leftists seek sanctuary in the ivory tower of higher education where they can feel free to impose their liberal moonbattery on hapless college students.
People who spout that shit know absolutely nothing at all about the realities of the university system in America.

The conservative platform was to take over the media and the judicial system and then the way information is produced. The latter part requires the conservative think tanks to spew out non-peer-reviewed research which is then given the status of "facts", the control of the government over types of research which are carried out and the takeover of the academia.
This is just the last stage of the platform being carried out.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congressional Democrats renewed attacks on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Friday after a report in The Washington Post said heads of the agency took numerous trips at industry expense.
Sen. Robert Menendez said he would offer a bill that would "prohibit officials at federal regulating agencies from taking travel funded by the industries under their jurisdiction."
The New Jersey Democrat said he would offer legislation after the newspaper said the current and former chiefs of the safety agency have taken "dozens of trips at the expense of the toy, appliance and children's furniture industries and others they regulate."
Controversy has swirled around the product safety agency amid millions of recent recalls of lead-contaminated toys made in China.
Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois said he will amend a reform bill already moving through the Senate along the same lines as those described by Menendez.
"Regulators should not and must not accept travel from those they regulate -- period," said Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate....
The safety commission's acting chairwoman, Nancy Nord, said in a statement that all travel by agency employees was approved by its general counsel...
The Washington Post reported that Nord and her immediate predecessor at the agency have taken nearly 30 trips since 2002, totaling around $60,000 in travel expenses to destinations including China, Spain, San Francisco, New Orleans and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson has been crisscrossing the country since early this summer on a private jet lent to him by a businessman and close adviser who has a criminal record for drug dealing.
Thompson selected the businessman, Philip Martin, to raise seed money for his White House bid. Martin is one of four campaign co-chairmen and the head of a group called the "first day founders." Campaign aides jokingly began to refer to Martin, who has been friends with Thompson since the early 1990s, as the head of "Thompson's Airforce."

Absolutely right. Thanks, DWD. Here I am correcting LSU-Alabama, and lousing up one Harry for another.
Harry Chapin did "Taxi" and the follow-up, and "Cat's in the Cradle", and then, if memory serves, was killed in a car crash.
Harry Nillson did the title song to "Midnight Cowboy", which I quoted in error. He had an album called Nillson-Schmillson, which always struck me as a very funny title. Not that I listened to the album.

The Torture Litmus Test
DEPARTMENT No Comment
BY Scott Horton
PUBLISHED November 2, 2007
Several days before his first meeting with the Senate Judiciary Committee, Michael Mukasey’s Justice Department handlers arranged a private meeting for him with a number of “movement conservatives.” Two different administration sources have described the meeting to me. During the meeting, Mukasey’s counterparts, largely figures associated with the Federalist Society, pushed him on two points in particular.
First, they wanted him to undertake that he would not appoint a special prosecutor to look into the U.S. attorneys scandal and related charges concerning political prosecutions. At this point it is clear that if an independent investigation were to be launched, it would quickly run head-on into some of the same figures who sat in the room with Mukasey. The email traffic which has surfaced already—and it is only a tiny fraction of the total—shows how Rove and Miers repeatedly relied upon the Federalist Society and its members to help them out in addressing recalcitrant U.S. Attorneys who would not debase their office by converting it into a political tool. Let’s be cynical and say that the first request they put to Mukasey was designed simply to protect themselves and keep their behind-the-scenes involvement with the Justice Department’s highest profile scandal so far out of the spotlight.
And second, they pushed aggressively on the torture question. They wanted Mukasey to pledge that he would toe the Administration’s line on “the Program,” that he would continue to protect those who authored the program with the cloak of an Attorney General opinion keeping them safe from prosecution.
O b s t r u c t i o n, baby.

A stadium of parents or relatives or aggrieved citizens is not the way to go. This is not a sports event. Read Holt, read Kozol, read DWD. If this society truly cared about its disenfranchised children it would give them the same affordances as it gives bank presidents and senators. I am appalled. When I was a high school freshman I got a brand new algebra textbook. I cherished it. When I took geometry and other courses it was the same. There is an inherent dishonesty that Bill Cosby fails to address. He wants an enslaved class of citizens to cast off their chains. He wants poor people to trouble themselves to make more money. The problem, you fucking idiot, is not with the poor. It is with the rich. And you are excusing yourself. You, a multimillionaire, dare to tell a poor beaten up trampled family that they need to help themselves? You are the black Ayn Rand. You are a Liberia Libertarian. You would make Martin Luther King blow chunks.

I found a source for green un-roasted coffee bean earlier today in Tucson. Not a bad price, $5.50 a lb for Ethiopian, or Guatemalan, in that form.
A quick way to roast a load for your coffee pot. Get one of those industrial heat blowers, make a stand so that it can point verticaly. Make a metal cup with a screen, on the bottom and on the top.
To roast the coffee beans;
turn the blower on high, and listen to the beans till they pop twice. BTW do this outside in an area where a few sparks won't cause a local fire. Continue the roasting till the degree of darkness that is desired has been achieved. Switch the blower to air only, with no heat applied till the beans have cooled enough to touch. Place in coffee grinder, then put in coffee pot. This only takes a few minutes to do depending of course how hot the blower is.
You could use a corn popper, but with the blower I've got I get better results.
I'm drinking a cup of this with raw Mexican sugar made straight from sugar cane juice. No refining or bleaching was done to it.

Possible mastodon carving found on rock
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - They aren't certain, but underwater archaeologists say they may have discovered a boulder with a prehistoric carving in Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay.
The granite rock has markings that resemble a mastodon — an elephant-like creature that once inhabited parts of North America — with what could be a spear in its side, say divers who have seen it.
They came across the boulder at a depth of about 40 feet while searching for shipwrecks in June, said Mark Holley, a scientist with the Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve Council.
"When you see it in the water, you're tempted to say this is absolutely real," Holley said Tuesday during a news conference with photos of the boulder on display. "But that's what we need the experts to come in and verify."
Specialists shown pictures of the boulder have asked for more evidence before confirming the markings are an ancient petroglyph, said Holley, an underwater archaeologist who teaches at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City.
"They want to actually see it," he said. Unfortunately, he added, "Experts in petroglyphs generally don't dive, so we're running into a little bit of a stumbling block there."

Among those withholding judgment is Daniel Fisher, curator of the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology, who has studied human interactions with mastodons. He has examined a couple of the photos and is waiting for more.
"The difficulty I saw was that the features of what's interpreted as an engraving were so subtle, and they're not the only thing on the boulder," Fisher said in a phone interview.
Also, he said, mastodons are not known to have ranged into northern Michigan, although fossil remains have been found in the southern part of the state. They became extinct about 10,000 years ago.
It's possible that ancient peoples familiar with the beasts migrated north, Fisher added.
"It's conceivable" that the image on the rock is a petroglyph, he said. "I'm intrigued enough to take another look."
The boulder is within the 32-mile-long bay, Holley said, but the exact loction will be kept secret to prevent vandalism or theft.
Students of Holley's and divers with the preservation council found the boulder on the flat, sandy lake floor, which is strewn with algae and zebra mussels.
It was part of a row of stones of varying sizes that might have marked the shoreline 6,000 to 10,000 years ago, Holley said.
Some — although not the boulder — were arranged in a circle. That could indicate human manipulation although it's unclear, said Rob Houston, a geology instructor at the college who has inspected the site.
bill |
11.03.07 - 10:25 pm | #
The boulder with the markings is 3.5 to 4 feet high and about 5 feet long. Photos show a surface with numerous fissures. Some may be natural while others appear of human origin, but those forming what could be the petroglyph stood out, Holley said.
Viewed together, they suggest the outlines of a mastodon-like back, hump, head, trunk, tusk, triangular shaped ear and parts of legs, he said.
"We couldn't believe what we were looking at," said Greg MacMaster, president of the underwater preserve council.
Michigan has only two confirmed petroglyphs, said John Halsey, the state archaeologist. They include sandstone carvings in the Thumb area known as the Sanilac Petroglyphs, and images in an isolated rock in the northern Lower Peninsula. Ancient rock paintings have been found in the Upper Peninsula.
The Grand Traverse Bay group plans further research and consultations with outside specialists.
"We want to get them involved with this project so that we can categorically prove it," Holley said.

The Secretary of State -- and a bunch of other Bushies -- have been subpoenaed. Lying is so ingrained in the psyche of the Bush team, will they get that whole thing about telling the truth because they're under oath?:
A federal judge today ordered Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and more than 10 other prominent current and former government officials to testify at the criminal trial of two pro-Israel lobbyists accused of violating the Espionage Act.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge T. S. Ellis III in Alexandria directs that subpoenas be issued to officials including Rice, National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley, former high-level Department of Defense officials Paul D. Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith and Richard L. Armitage, the former deputy secretary of state. http://www.americablog.com/2007/...g-to-

I have no legal training at all. I think this is a "poison pill" the defendants have cooked up. The prosecution is the US government, right? So now, my guess is, there will be a plea bargain offered by the US so that none of these high level liars will have to testify under oath. And the defendants will accept it (because it will be very generous), and none of the aforementioned Bushies will ever testify because the case will be settled.
But that's just my paranoia.

On the other hand, Condi to me is completely inexplicable. How she managed to achieve a position of authority at any level is remarkable. Bush at least delivered to his cronies. Condi meanwhile is just about the most incompetent human being in the universe.

Eli at Left Eye on the News about how CNN "reports" on the Venezuelan demonstrations, but not on the referendum:
...nowhere in the article or on the CNN broadcast is it made clear that these proposed Constitutional changes must be submitted to, and ratified by, a referendum of the entire voting population of Venezuela. Really, it doesn't get more democratic than that, but you'd never get that idea from hearing or reading this report.
Update: Interestingly enough, the complete AP story, published in the Miami Herald, includes the following sentence (albeit four paragraphs from the end):
To take effect, the reforms must be approved by voters in a Dec. 2 referendum.
Even more interestingly, that paragraph was removed by CNN from the AP article, even though the three final paragraphs, the ones following that important one, were left in. One might conclude that this was a deliberate decision by CNN to mislead its readers.
They suffer no personal consequences whatsoever for their folly. That's the problem.

I wrote about some of this stuff when the news was all about how you will die if you eat red meat or drink too much and how easy it is to change your habits. Which it is not, easy, I mean. But the point I had was that many of the things that may make us ill are things are people do to us and yet we view health as something an individual can completely determine.

Hey, I have Back to the Future Part II cued up in the DVD player!
It is interesting. The scene in 2014 is only 7 years from now. Still no hoverboards.
It is interesting, a big part of the movie has to do with being called a whimp and standing up for yourself against bullies. But it also involves physical force and using your brain over brawn.
How much of our world would be different if certain men were more secure in their manhood that they didn't have to prove how tough there are by taking on other countries in a war.

Seems pretty fucking democratic in Venezuela:
This Constitution may also be subject to a general reform, in accordance with the following procedure:
1. The initiative must come from one third of the members of Congress, or from an absolute majority of the Legislative Assemblies by decisions adopted in at least two discussions by an absolute majority of the members of each Assembly;
2. The initiative shall be transmitted to the Presidency of Congress, which shall convoke the Chambers in joint session with at least three days' advance notice, to decide whether it is in order. The initiative shall be admitted by a two-thirds vote of those present;
3. If the initiative is admitted, discussion of the bill shall begin in the Chamber indicated by Congress, and the procedure established in this Constitution for the enactment of laws shall be followed;
4. The approved bill shall be submitted to referendum at a time fixed by the Chambers in joint session so that the people may express themselves in favor of or against the reform. The count of the votes will be communicated to the Chambers in joint session, which shall declare the new Constitution sanctioned if it is approved by a majority of the voters of the entire Republic.
5. Article 247. Rejected initiatives of amendment or reform may not be reintroduced during the same constitutional term.
Supermajority in the Leg, then an absolute majority of the People.

But the point I had was that many of the things that may make us ill are things are people do to us and yet we view health as something an individual can completely determine.
That's about right. My diet and excercise habits I can control, but having to kiss that guys ass day after day, no matter what outrages he subjects me to, is something I fell utterly helpless about. He's got me by the balls for at least another 6-12 months, and there ain't a damn thing I can do about it unless I want to throw my 10 year investment in this career away.

That stinks. There are some things that help in getting the anger and frustration out but I'm sure you already do all that in exercising and so on.
