A Tuskegee airman died and the comments include this gem.
'They were all a bunch of lyers, and they didn't deserve any more recognition than any of their white counterparts that flew the same type of missions they did.
I'm so sick of seeing people get special attention because they have darker skin than everyone else.
Espc when it's a bunch of lying jerks that perpetrated the same lie amongst themselves for 40 or 60 years.
Then when it comes out that they lied, they sit there and try and act contrite about it.
Please, this guy along with the rest of them, lived high on the hog because of this lie, and I think considering how many white people who died doing the same thing who didn't receive none of the same recognition, it makes it even that much more pathetic to act like they are the only ones who are worthy of it.
He might have been a nice guy, but him and his "homeys" did a crappy thing. '

GMY, was jesus a top down or bottom up reaction? I mean, from my limited perspective, it looks like jesus and his morality is waht the "people" wanted, not the ruling jews (sanhedrin?) and the priests. (jewish priests! Such a cool idea.)
Euphronius, Chancellor
The itinerary of Christ's ministry is interesting. If you follow the places they visited, they would have had to pass through the major cities of the region simply because of the way the roads were built. But urban scenes don't take over the biblical narrative until the end, the trial. This would have been an obvious omission, a clear political statement at the time, like John Edwards saying he's only going to campaign in the "flyover states."
Gee, did I just compare Edwards to Jesus? Oh well. Conservatives consider the historical Jesus a faggot anyways.
But seriously, when you combine the content of the Gospels to the framework of the Gospels, you realize you're looking at a very radical document. It's incredibly anti-authority, even when it's being very authoritarian (esp. in Luke).
But why wouldn't it be? The priests had failed the people. The kings had failed the people. The Hebrews were in thrall to unclean Romans who insulted their sensibilities at every turn. When your leaders can't protect you but still demand your full respect, you're going to want to pull those bastards down, aren't you?
So, Jesus is a conservative movement in an historical way: a return to a supposedly better time under the first temple. But, socioeconomically, it's a completely radical movement.
Then again, so was early Islam and look what happened to it.

They have people on staff who cut and style hair...and probably some very good ones. (If they didn't keep Williams' "do" looking good, they'd be replaced in a second.) These people not only will cut his hair without him paying a cent, they'll give him a trim every time he sits in the make-up chair if he needs it. And he doesn't even have to tip.

Unborn child to receive legal representation
The Attorney General has instructed a senior counsel to represent the unborn child at the centre of a court case being taken by a 17-year-old, who is four months pregnant, against the Health Service Executive (HSE).
The girl, who can only be identified as Miss D is challenging the legality of the HSE from preventing her from terminating her pregnancy overseas.
She has been in the care of the HSE since March and was told last week that her baby is suffering from the brain condition anencephaly, resulting in the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull and scalp.
The newborn baby will live a maximum of three days.
This morning the High Court heard that senior counsel James Connolly has been instructed by the Attorney General to represent the rights of the unborn child.
Any updates on the 17-yr-old's case?

Even George III had to get Parliament to vote to agree to send the troops to America to put down the rebellion in 1776. And that includes hiring the German mercenaries. And also funding the whole thing. Bush's meglomania is getting tiresome.

That abortion case is Ireland. There's a 17 year old from some kind of troubled family who is therefore in state care. She's 4 months pregnant and the fetus has zero chance of survival -- the brain is not developing. She wants an abortion which is not available in Ireland. Other women can travel to the UK without restriction for the same thing. But because she's in state care, the government is trying to stop here.

'WASHINGTON (AP) — Crowded schools, traffic-choked roads and transit cutbacks are eroding the quality of American life, according to an analysis by civil engineers that gave the nation's infrastructure an overall grade of D.
A report by the American Society of Civil Engineers released Wednesday assessed the four-year trend in the condition of 12 categories of infrastructure, including roadways, bridges, drinking water systems, public parks, railroads and the power grid.
The overall grade slipped from the D-plus given to the infrastructure in 2001 and 2003'
'The report said $1.6 trillion should be spent over the next five years to alleviate potential problems with the nation's infrastructure. Transportation alone requires $94 billion in annual spending, the report said.'

So Ireland wants the young woman to carrry to term, possibly killing her, to deliver a baby that will die soon after birth, possibly feeling pain in its rudimentary brain.
Yes, the Irish are missing the point, they could allow her to carry a healthy baby boy that could then grow up to be an altar boy and serve the church in a special way.

"Perhaps you're thinking of the missiles in Turkey that were pulled out as part of the Missile Crisis settlement?"
That's exactly right. Atlas intermediate range missiles were placed in Turkey during the Eisenhower administration, then were being phased out when the Cuban missile crisis erupted.
Kennedy used their withdrawl as a bargaining chip with the Russians, though their removal had already been scheduled before the crisis broke in October, 1963.

The Reagan diaries;
'Events in the Middle East concerned him so much that Reagan wrote on May 15, 1981, "Sometimes I wonder if we are destined to witness Armageddon."
Then on June 7: "Got word of Israel bombing of Iraq -- nuclear reactor. I swear I believe Armageddon is near."

Reagan was right, we got Armageddon in the White House.
KYRA PHILLIPS: It would be a disaster. I mean, I had a chance to sit down with the minister of defense, to General Petraeus, Admiral Fallon, head of CENTCOM. I asked them all the question, whether Iraqi or U.S. military.
There is no way U.S. troops could pull out. It would be a disaster. They are doing too much training. They are helping the Iraqis not only with security, but trying to get the government up and running.
I mean, this is a country of let's make a deal. There's so much corruption still. If the U.S. military left, they have rules of engagement, they have an idea, a focus, it would be a disaster.

Actual question asked during the first dem debate:
WILLIAMS: Senator Biden, a question for you. A friend of mine who's in the leadership of the Democratic Party says that if the party goes down a third straight time, what will happen is what he defined as modern-day extinction of the Democratic Party.
Putting yourself aside, perhaps, is there a winner on this stage tonight, and does your party have what it takes to reverse this trend and win the White House?
From the Hill:
NRSC lacks candidates and money
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is facing many of the same problems it battled last cycle, raising about half as much money as its Democratic counterpart and failing to recruit a single major candidate nearly six months after the 2006 elections.
...
In the first quarter, the NRSC, currently led by Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), raised about half the money of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), which eclipsed the NRSC’s quarterly total in March alone.
The troubles extend to recruiting.

What I find interesting is their contention that the bullhorn performance was 'spontaneous'. The minute I saw that on TV, I knew immediately that this whole thing was stage-managed...did anyone NOT believe that?
Really incredible
Watching President Bush deliver his promised veto of the Iraq supplemental funding bill yesterday was akin to a bad game of Mad Libs. The President predictably demonstrated his resolve by filling-in the blanks in his speech by resorting to his repertoire of worn-out Iraq talking points, such as "surrender date" and "handcuffing the generals."
Now you too can play Bush Iraq Mad Libs!

He made me realize that all "technology" (as we use the term) is energy dependent. Until the Industrial Revolution, that energy was supplied by muscle power (animal or human). Except for stored mechanical energy (i.e., watch mainsprings and the like), we now depend on fossil fuels for our energy supplies.
Imagining that we will 'come up with something' after fossil fuels are no longer viable is equivalent to saying "And then a miracle occurs" in step two of the equation. We need to be a bit more explicit than that.
Because the argument that "we've always figured it out before" is bogus. We've never "figured it out before" because we've never been faced with this situation before.
Interesting times ahead, indeed.

Great story about the pen President Bush used to sign the Veto against the Surrender Bill
Bush signed the veto with a pen given to him by Robert Derga, the father of Marine Corps Reserve Cpl. Dustin Derga, who was killed in Iraq on May 8, 2005. The elder Derga spoke with Bush two weeks ago at a meeting the president had with military families at the White House.
Derga asked Bush to promise to use the pen in his veto. On Tuesday, Derga contacted the White House to remind Bush to use the pen, and so he did. The 24-year-old Dustin Derga served with Lima Company, 3rd Battalion 25th Marines from Columbus, Ohio. The five-year Marine reservist and fire team leader was killed by an armor-piercing round in Anbar Province.
Do you think there's any chance at all of my getting out of the Borg with a whole skin and a whole soul?

Religious leader/feudal overlord; I think they are two distinct hats, though the roles had become enmeshed over time. Indeed, we are told that it was his conscience as a religious leader that informed his decision as the ruler of Tibet not to fight back the Chinese invasion. And I am agreed that this same conscience should have played a larger role earlier on, in the treatment of his 'subjects' while he still was wearing the hat of overlord, though it is curious thathe still has such strong support among native Tibetans that remain despite that; though they too may have confused his two jobs, I would still assert that, as a religious leader, the Dalai Lama would never present himself as God's-chosen-one.

Of course you're right. It IS a soluble problem. (And Diesel engines are remarkably versatile - they can run on vegetable oil.)
Not all renewable energy can be produced by non-polluting industries at the moment. But it seems obvious to me that, as with all new technology, there will be a period of transition. So this argument does not hold much water with me.

We are dealing with real human lives and we cannot keep our troops in place because of pride, a desire to "win," or the chance for a good photo-op. It's time we approach the situation in Iraq from a new angle. Poverty breeds terrorism and perhaps if we shifted our focus to fighting poverty itself, we could see improvements in Iraq that this war has failed to bring about. It's time we follow through on the UN Millennium goals and implement a plan to eliminate severe poverty throughout the world. According to the Borgen Project, this will not only help the poor, but will strengthen our security, as it will result in the reduction of terrorism.

..."But slowly but surely, the truth will be known. Either we'll succeed, or we won't succeed. And the definition of success as I described is sectarian violence down. Success is not, no violence. There are parts of our own country that have got a certain level of violence to it. But success is a level of violence where the people feel comfortable about living their daily lives. And that's what we're trying to achieve.

Not all renewable energy can be produced by non-polluting industries at the moment. But it seems obvious to me that, as with all new technology, there will be a period of transition. So this argument does not hold much water with me.

Interestingly, I understand Brazil is using ethanol, and manufacturing it in a way that provides an 8:1 return on energy expended for energy produced from the fuel. The US gets, at best, 3:1.
But there is a fear the crops being used will lead to environmental problems. The idea that "technology" will save us is simply the "O machine, O machine" salvation rhetoric of Forster's short story. It may be the technology will be available.
Whether it will be used, is another matter entirely. Either way, it is human actions which will preserve us; not the technologies we may, or may not, have.

RMJ: technology is human action, first of all. And that new actions will inevitably have unintended consequences does not force us to be inactive in the presence of problems to be solved as best we can. One hopes, for instance, that a clear-eyed view of our current state will lead us to avoid actions with environmentally catastrophic outcomes such as the Dust Bowl and the once Aral Sea. One anticipates fighting corporate entities which view negative externalities as annoyances to be swept under the rug. One sees public acceptance of the need to mitigate anthropogenic global warming and so on, to an extent we couldn't have dreamed of 30 years ago. I've read Wendell Berry, too. But don't limit your vision of the achievable.

A poll indicates the public equally wants out of the war, but also doesn't want the troops to "run out of money." They imagine soldiers with no bullets, I'm sure.
That, of course, will never happen. Emergency funding can be approved in an eye-blink, funds can be reallocated, etc. Hell, we've got 700 military bases, according to Chalmers Johnson, around the world. A few of those could go without bullets for awhile if need be.
But perception is essence, as Berkely said, especially in politics. So it's still a tightrope walk for the Congress.
It's not just the availability of the technology--it's also the distribution systems and the economic factors involved in adopting that technology. And that's especially true when comparing the new technology to crude oil.
For example, if gasoline gets much above $3 this summer, check the profits at Walmart. You'll notice that fewer people will shop with the nation's largest employer when the cost of gas outweighs the advertised savings. And none of the people involved are going to be the early adopters of rooftop solar cells and plug-in electric cars.

ProfWombat--I don't limit it to the "achievable" (whatever that is; seriously, who ever knows what that is?), but neither do I trust that "technology" will save us from ourselves.
Global warming is a direct result of technology, and the newest report is the Arctic icecap, unless something happens, will melt away by 2020, not 2050, as computer models predicted. That reconsideration is based on hard data, not projections and speculation. Will technology reverse that? Not likely.
Will we use technology to solve our problems? Why, then, after the 1970's, are we driving SUV's and Hummers? Sure, we "should" be sensible, and can "hope" we will be.
Hope, as the military wisely says, is not a plan.

Greenwald...
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/
The Wall St. Journal online has today published a lengthy and truly astonishing article by Harvard Government Professor Harvey Mansfield, which expressly argues that the power of the President is greater than "the rule of law."
The article bears this headline: The Case for the Strong Executive -- Under some circumstances, the Rule of Law must yield to the need for Energy. And it is the most explicit argument I have seen yet for vesting in the President the power to override and ignore the rule of law in order to recieve the glories of what Mansfield calls "one-man rule."
That such an argument comes from Mansfield is unsurprising. He has long been a folk hero to the what used to be the most extremist right-wing fringe but is now the core of the Republican Party. He devoted earlier parts of his career to warning of the dangers of homosexuality, particularly its effeminizing effect on our culture.
He has a career-long obsession with the glories of tyrannical power as embodied by Machiavelli's Prince, which is his model for how America ought to be governed. And last year, he wrote a book called Manliness in which "he urges men, and especially women, to understand and accept manliness" -- which means that "women are the weaker sex," "women's bodies are made to attract and to please men" and "now that women are equal, they should be able to accept being told that they aren't, quite." Publisher's Weekly called it a "juvenile screed."

"I believe that Elston was offering me a quid pro quo agreement: my silence in exchange for the Attorney General's," Charlton wrote in answer to questions from the House Judiciary Committee.
Charlton did not expound on the conversation in his answer, only saying that the call occurred after the firing on December 7th, but before the attorney general testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on January 18th of this year.
It's not the first time that Elston has been accused by one of the fired U.S. attorneys of trying to intimidate them into silence. Two others have said the same thing.
U.S. Attorney for Little Rock Bud Cummins testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that Elston had made a similar call to him in mid-February. Cummins produced an email written the day of the call that clearly laid out the threatening undercurrent to Elston's message.
And U.S. Attorney for Seattle John McKay has said that he got a call from Elston in December. Newsweek reported that McKay says "he also got a phone call from a 'clearly nervous' Elston asking if he intended to go public: 'He was offering me a deal: you stay silent and the attorney general won't say anything bad about you.'"
So it would seem that there's a pattern here. Elston, for his part, has said that he's "shocked and baffled" by Cummins' accusation and that he "can't imagine" how McKay took the call that way. No doubt he'll be similarly flabbergasted by Charlton's accusation.
Richard: just gets worse and worse for them, doesn't it?
That Elston fucktard needs to be swinging from a lamppost.
But that can be said for nearly every last elected official and political appointee of the current assministration.
so many pressures....but that 3.35 gas really broke me down yesterday
If the recent info that the Artic ice cap will be gone by 2020 is close to the truth, then there's not a damn thing to be done but put one's head betwixt one's legs & kiss that ass goodbye.

Billy, I really wonder if I should even have kids when the news only gets worse. How am I morally justified in introducing a life to a planet with a gloomy outlook?
Speaking of energy, NJ is going to tap the wind created by cars on the NJ turnpike.
there is one highway that crosses the dessert where RVs routinely tip over because of the wind.
I don't see global warming as a problem to be solvable except by a massive change in personal habits which appears at the moment to be unlikely of achievement, and I don't disagree with you as much as I'd like to.
Well, at least people want the government to do more, which is a start...
Because the Internets can't prove they're FDA certified!
The same FDA that was right on top of melamine entering the food chain.

Newark is depressing, but hardly a desert.

Democrat demands White House student loan records
POSTED: 7:30 p.m. EDT, May 1, 2007
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The Democratic head of the U.S. House education committee said Tuesday investigators probing the Bush administration's management of federal student loan programs had found "serious oversight failures by senior officials."
Amid a conflict of interest scandal that is sweeping through the $85 billion student loan industry, Rep. George Miller asked the White House to turn over e-mails and other records, including those of Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, previously a White House domestic policy adviser.
Yes, it does.

Mine are 25 and 17. I worry a lot about their future.
A lot.

Hi Moonbootica! sorry my lunch break is over-maybe I'll catch you here in the evening.
Global warming is a direct result of the military industrial complex refusing to use and improve upon available renewable resource technology
FYT
Global warming was/is a result of specific technology which is known to have adverse environmental effects. We have better technology, which we can and will use to reverse/slow down those effects. But government must be the engine that drives this change. Global warming cannot be solved by individual efforts.

Then the flags (particularly the national flag) get all tatterend and ugly, defying flag etiquette in an in your face matter that doesn't even phase the cretins who think they are displaying their patriotism.
Apprentice to Darth Holden
Not to mention all the flags torn off the cheap plastic masts, only to be run over on roadways or left to absorb oil leaks in parking lots.
"Support" for far too many is superficial hypocracy. Bring back the draft if it's SO VEWWY VEWWY IMPORTANT to retain global hegemony. (Not that the US even could, given the current Chinese economy/political leadership.)
I don't see global warming as a problem to be solvable except by a massive change in personal habits which appears at the moment to be unlikely of achievement, and I don't disagree with you as much as I'd like to.
I wouldn't dump all this on people's personal behavior. In Nova Scotia, for example, fully 46 percent of GHG emissions come from just five power generation plants. People retrofitting their homes will reduce, maybe eliminate the need for new plants, but to crack this nut we've got to build power plants that use renewable resources-- wind, tidal and biomass in our case.
GHG emissions from transportation, yes, comes down to changing how people commute. But we don't get squat by guilting people into buying Priuses. It takes massive government funding of mass transit.
Basically, I'm saying that while we should all be individually very concerned about global warming, and do whatever is in our power to do (I'm not discounting personal behavior), the real solutions nonetheless are institutional, society-wide changes. In so far as "personal behavior" means affecting the larger society, yes, it's very important, but in terms of addressing global warming by *only* changing things we do in our personal life, it doesn't even begin to solve the problem.
How am I morally justified in introducing a life to a planet with a gloomy outlook?
By raising them to be a force for change.
If change is going to happen, people will be doing it (and we're getting older).
You're older than you've ever been.
And now you're even older.
And now you're even older.

This is one I never even knew about. Cool.
INVESTIGATIONS, BITCHES!
RMJ: there's technology which will save energy, as well as expend it; technology will surely be as much a part of the solution as it's been a progenitor of the problem.
What we need is not just better technology but technology that will allow us to become a less complex, more resilient society. And the unquestioned requirements of so-called economic growth and efficiency just won't allow that. We'll just keep stretching the technology as far as possible until there's a catatostrophic collapse somewhere. And the economic rules specifically prohibit redundancy ("inefficiency") in the system.

jimmy carter had solar panels put up on the whitehouse. i never got to see that. so many barrior put up to block that kind of progress. we're so far behind.
Since today is Buddha Day...
Buddhists are atheistic about the nature of God the same as they are everything... until the ego is subdued and the mind clarified, the nature of anything, including God, will always be distorted and wrong.
Even once you've attained enlightenment, describing the nature of God to others is futile since they will always interpret what you said falsely.
Thus, it's best to just keep quiet about those things.
roadmaster: there are very few times in this planet's history when nature and humanity have offered kindness and succor more than hardship and suffering. Extrapolation is the devil's seduction, and prophecies of doom must not become self-fulfilling. And who'll solve tomorrow's problems if not for tomorrow's people? Am I nervous about my kids' future (they are 15, 10 and 9)? Of course. Do I hope the world will be better because of their lives? Also, of course...
KENT, Ohio - A static-filled recording of war protesters yelling, followed by a voice and gunfire, was released Tuesday by a survivor of the Kent State University shooting who claims the tape proves a military order was given to fire on demonstrators.

Sorry if this has been addressed already, but the fact that there's still any question that the National Guard was ordered to kill those students says pretty much all we need to know about how the USA got to the fucked-up place it's in right now.
How Canfora has kept his sanity I can't imagine.
Peace.

this White House has always been supportive of requests from the grunts. oh here is one: "Go F**k yourselves". To which Cheney replied, "right away".
