Hey, bats, just dropped by to say I'm really nervous about the Preakness, but my boy Paul said Street Sense was so full of himself this morning they actually took him to the track to stretch his legs. Almost unheard of on the day of a race. But he's been on the left side of the stall — his "happy place" Paul says — all day. So here's hoping the quest for the Triple continues.
And Broder is a tool.

If the hockey game ever gets decided and NBC switches to the Preakness coverage, they may include a feature about the son — who's an attorney in addition to being the Big Horse's hotwalker. They taped the feature on Friday, but might not use it. I just hope Street Sense can win again, 'cause racing needs the boost having a Triple Crown contender would give it. Nafsger, his trainer, says today's race will be the toughest, so we'll see.

"Lost in all the publicity over Moore’s trip is the reason he went to Cuba in the first place.
He says he hadn’t intended to go, but then discovered the U.S. government was boasting of the excellent medical care it provides terror suspects detained at Guantanamo. So Moore decided that the 9/11 workers and a few other patients, all of whom had serious trouble paying for care at home, should have the same chance.
“Here the detainees were getting colonoscopies and nutrition counseling,” Moore told The Associated Press in an interview, “and these people at home were suffering. I said, ‘We gotta go and see if we can get these people the same treatment the government gives al-Qaida.’ It seemed the only fair thing to do.”" http://thinkprogress.org/2007/05...-for-cuba-trip/

Bowling for insurance:
"‘Sicko’ stars thank Moore for Cuba trip.Michael Moore yesterday held the first screening of his new film on the health care industry, Sicko, and there to see it were “grateful Sept. 11 ‘first responders,’ suffering lung problems or other ailments from their days at ground zero. In the film, Moore takes them to Cuba and tries to get them treated at the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay - where, he contends, terror suspects were getting better medical care than the heroes of 9/11.”
Donna Smith, in from Denver with her husband, Larry, was in tears when she spoke. The film opens with their painful story: Plagued with health problems, they were forced to sell their home and move into the storage room of their daughter’s house because they couldn’t cope with health costs, even though they were insured.

"You didn't have to watch the Fox debate all the way to Rudy's Quayle moment to know something
odd was afoot. Right at the beginning, as each candidate was introduced, a graphic appeared with the following data: Age. Religion. Family. Career. With Religion being listed just beneath how old they were, it turned Age into a countdown to their eternal reward. On the other hand, ya gotta laugh at the data
included under Family: the wife, the kids, the odd step-kid, but no mention of prior spouses, let alone
prior spouses' prior spouses. The only statistic missing was dick size..."

This is the year I buy a reel mower. Screw this noisy gas-powered hunk of crap.
I don't care if it'll take me two hours to cut the grass.
I tried that my first two years here. If you have a tiny yard and can mow every couple of days, it might work. The lawn never looked good and, if, for example, it rained or I had to work on the weekend and the grass got even a bit tall, I'd have to hire someone w/ a "real" mower to do it. I got a cordless electric one last spring that I'm pretty happy w/, although some Atriots had to help me figure it out, at first. Not as noisy as gas but not as quiet as the manual. But the grass looks lots nicer.

U.S. Embassy in Iraq to be biggest ever
Rice's senior adviser on Iraq, David Satterfield, said the embassy is not disproportionately expensive and will serve U.S. interests for years. The second-most expensive embassy is the smaller $434 million U.S. mission being built in Beijing.
"We assume there will be a significant, enduring U.S. presence in Iraq," Satterfield said.

ProfWombat, the people who transfer from the CCs are completely amazing. The quality of teaching at most of our area CCs is superb; if you spend your first two years in a CC, you will have far more contact with your instructors, your classes will be smaller, and you won't be stuck in massive lecture courses presided over by a TA. I have people who've transferred and gone on who have overcome amazing things and keep the most punishing schedules imaginable.

Hey everybody.
I did something stupid and now I have to pay. Literally.
We lost our health insurance, but I still took the girls to the eye specialist in Boston. It was just a check-up, no real bells and whistles. The good news was that the 6 yo won't need surgery and the 4 yo won't need glasses.
When the bill came, I was afraid to open it.
I finally did: $503.00 for the 4 yo, $609.00 for the 6 yo.
I read somewhere that graduates of community colleges with good grades have far better success than one would think transferring to four year colleges, even elite ones...
It wouldn't surprise me. I've never seen a study, but I'm willing to bet that night school law students (modest blush) who get to elite firms do better than expected as well. If you can juggle a job and CC or a job and law school, you can more or less handle whatever gets thrown at you. I still remember biting my tongue - hard - the time a partner told me during my first year, "This project will give you experience working late." As if.

Ex-lawmaker charged with rape
Klaudt accused of sexual contact with foster kids, pages http://www.argusleader.com/apps/.../705190310/
1001
PIERRE - Former Republican Rep. Ted Klaudt could spend the rest of his life in prison after turning himself in to authorities Friday on felony charges that include eight counts of rape involving foster children and former legislative pages.
Five girls told authorities they were assaulted by Klaudt, court documents state, although charges filed Friday involve only two of the girls.
Four of the girls said they were accosted in Klaudt's hotel room in Pierre, where he stayed while serving in the South Dakota Legislature. Two of the girls were legislative pages when they were attacked, they told investigators.
He's accused of performing "ovary checks" and "breast exams" under the guise that he was helping young women donate their reproductive eggs, according to court records.
House Speaker Thomas Deadrick, R-Platte, accompanied Klaudt in court Friday, saying he was acting as Klaudt's lawyer only for Friday's court hearings.
"I'm here as a friend who happens to be a lawyer," said Deadrick, who served four years with Klaudt in the House.

Deadrick evidently doesn't choose his friends very well.

On the same day PBS aired Bill Moyers hard-hitting piece on the secret free trade deal, the network also aired an interview with a frustrated Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-NY), who lashed out at the growing opposition to the deal from rank-and-file Democratic lawmakers and millions of workers, farmers and small businesses. Meanwhile, an industry newsletter breaks the news that at least one senior Democrat involved in the secret deal admits that Democrats have delegated responsibility for drafting the final legislative language of the deal entirely to the Bush White House." http://www.davidsirota.com/

Yeah, but you don't necessarily need to pay him, esp. for what should be a basic human right. If you'd run up a big bill buying the girls expensive clothes or something, that would be different story. This is basic health care. There are other little girls who get those amounts spent on their birthday parties. Your girls deserve to be able to see. .

Here's all that the RNC could muster in it's response to Carter:
"Apparently, Sunday mornings in Plains for former President Carter includes hurling reckless accusations at your fellow man," said Amber Wilkerson, Republican National Committee spokeswoman. She said it was hard to take Carter seriously because he also "challenged Ronald Reagan's strategy for the Cold War."
Heh. They didn't even try to defend Shrub.

For Goddess sake, don't pay him all at once unless he's a real ass about it and says he'll charge you interest on the unpaid amount. Start out asking him to take 50 cents on the dollar and bargain up, including for low monthly payments w/o interest, if you have to. Keep the $$ in your account earning interest as long a you can.

most docs, especially those you have a relationship with, will take an insurance rate, even if you don't have insurance. If you ask. Talk to the office manager and explain that you lost your insurance and would like to find out if you can get a contracted rate and that you will pay that right away do they don't have to bill it.
were you recommended to him/her by your ped? that would be something worth mentioning to the office manager.
if that doesn't work, ask to speak with the doc. Of course, if you are well off, you have to take that into perspective.

What a heartbreak. Curlin was just the better horse, I suppose, but I thought Calvin might have cost himself a jump when he looked back. Nevertheless, had this race been the Derby distance, Curlin would have won easily.
So another year without a Triple Crown winner. It was a great ride for my son and the whole Nafsger barn...
The only reason I would is Wolcott seems like a cool guy.

Use the real ingredients - heavy cream, real butter, real bacon, etc. then, unless you just set-fire-to-it burn it, it will turn out pretty impressively. By that, i mean *i* have gotten compliments for following a Better Housekeeping recipie.

According to the wikipedia article on carbonara, the cream is an American thing:
The original Roman recipe is made from eggs, parmigiano reggiano, pecorino romano, guanciale (unsmoked pig cheeks), black pepper, and either strutto, olive oil or butter. Cream is not an ingredient in the original recipe, and is not generally used with pasta in central Italy.

"She said it was hard to take Carter seriously because he also "challenged Ronald Reagan's strategy for the Cold War."
St. Ron's 'strategy' was a 'strategy' in the same way that playing your birthdate as a lottery pick is a strategy. That is, if it works because you get titanically lucky, you can talk about it being a cunning plan.

Corliss:
Sicko traces the birth of the privatized health system to Richard Nixon, who in 1971, on one of the White House tapes, noted that the scheme would work for insurance companies "because the less care they give 'em, the more money they make." Hardly anyone would deny that since then, the HMOs and pharmaceutical companies have made billions while Americans have health care below the standard of other industrialized countries, and pay more for it. (Even the flacks for HMOs acknowledge that the system needs reform.) Or that patients are routinely denied procedures they should be entitled to. "You're not slipping through the cracks," a claims adjuster, since reformed, tells Moore. "They made the crack and are sweeping you toward it."

Why Reagan gets the credit for spending the Soviets into their final decline I have no idea. It wasn't his money, and his "strategy" had more to do with enriching defense contractors than it ever had to do with knocking out the USSR.
If conservatives were smart, instead of bragging about how their dead guy brought down the Soviets, they'd crow about how the capitalism they idolize finally proved its superiority to communism. Seems to me this would derive longer-term benefits to the party.
But as we know, conservatives aren't smart. So they'll continue bleating about how Reagan defeated the dirty commies, never mind he was almost 3 full years departed from office when it happened and no one in US intelligence or government saw it coming, including Reagan's former vice president, President GHW Bush.

Jennifer, no one in US 'Intelligence' saw it coming, because the spy services are like the rest of government - a bureaucracy. If they had noted signs the USSR was weakening, crumbling, a paper tiger, their reward would have been -
budget cuts.
so long as every year the CIA faithfully reported the Great Bear was stronger and meaner than ever, their reward for that (true or not) would be -
budget increases.
Spy agencies will never give you truthful information about the enemy save in the most limited and small-scale ways. They will always filter it through self-interest. What they inevitably turn out to be really good for is spying on their own citizens. THAT info will be timely and rewarded by the politicos.

To the contrary, plenty saw it coming (to include the agents making it happen by destroying the Soviet economy with cash infusions for the back market), but not those that would later become neocons (they called themselves something like "Team B" and grossly overestimated Soviet military capacity and aggression) or those in charge of the bduget requests.

She served her time, and Mary Jo was the one pressing for her release:
In 1999, after seven years in prison, Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon consented to Fisher's original plea bargain being vacated, and a new plea entered where she was sentenced to 3-10 years, ensuring her immediate release. This was done pursuant to the wishes of Mary Jo Buttafuoco. Fisher was granted parole and released.
I assume you've seen her naked?

I would argue that is not the best course. Human judgment and intuition win hands down coupled with intellect.

WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, N.M. — A rocket payload that flew briefly into space with ashes of astronaut Gordon Cooper and "Star Trek" actor James Doohan was recovered Friday in the New Mexico mountains.
The payload was found in its designated recovery zone 20 days after Farmington, Conn.-based UP Aerospace sent it up in a 20-foot rocket on April 28.
The rocket, the first to be successfully launched into space from the fledgling Spaceport America in southern New Mexico, made a 4-minute suborbital flight before drifting back to Earth.
On board were partial ashes from Cooper, Doohan _ who played Scotty on "Star Trek" _ and 200 others, including John Meredith Lucas, a writer for the original "Star Trek" series.

So, it could be applied to the GOP. For them seem not quite human in their zest for war.
Wars are neither logical nor efficient. For a fraction of the cost and effort, for example, the damn Iraqi oil fields could have been stolen another way.
that's why i could never understand a 'Skynet' that would make killer robots, cover them in human flesh, and send them out to wipe out humanity. A genegeneered plague would be more efficient. Or just indulging human idiocy (like climatic change) until the humans 'Darwin Awarded' themselves away.

Schumer's Had Enough
by emptywheel
I said the other day that I didn't necessarily think that current DAG McNulty's resignation and the sneak testimony of former DAG Comey was related. Let me revise that opinion. With the perspective of a few days, I think they may well be related, if for no other reason than Schumer has simply lost patience with this charade.
Let me just explain a few details of note. First, Paul McNulty resigned while at a US Attorney's meeting in San Antonio. Gonzales was, as far as I know, back in DC preparing to blame everything on McNulty at the National Press Club. Now why would the DAG wait until he was with the 93 men and women--most of them former peers--who have been screwed over by this affair?
Marcy delivers, as usual. I'm so glad she pays such careful attention and noticed that Chuck Schumer started trying to get Comey's testimony before the judiciary committee FIFTEEN months ago, and Bushco fought it successfully for that long, until Schumer apparently finessed it last week. If so, I may have to consider letting Schumer out of the doghouse I've had him in since the Paul Hackett brouhaha.
