Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight out of 10 key electoral issues, including, for the second straight month, the top issue of the economy. They’ve also narrowed the gap on the remaining two issues, the traditionally Democratic strong suits of health care and education.

Keep the Change: Obama Backs Bush's Political Prisoner Operation
Sonia Sotomayor will begin her confirmation hearings next week with some of the highest levels of public opposition of any Supreme Court nominee in the last two decades, according to a new poll by the CNN and the Opinion Research Corporation. In fact, only one nominee had a higher level of opposition: Harriet Miers, who was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2005. Miers later withdrew her nomination under questions about her qualifications from both the political left and right.
But there’s the difference. With Miers, the President’s own party made the biggest stink. The left won’t say a single bad thing about Sotomayor.
Wow. More conservative wisdom pulled from Rush's cavernous ass.

Why would voters trust republicans on helath care...republican helath platform boils down to paying HMO's to let your Grandman die of Cancer
Earlier this week, New York Times columnist David Brooks wrote about how “the dignity code” has been “completely obliterated” in Washington, DC. Discussing the concept on MSNBC today, Brooks recalled how he “sat next to a Republican senator once at dinner and he had his hand on my inner thigh the whole time”:
BROOKS: You know, all three of us spend a lot of time covering politicians and I don’t know about you guys, but in my view, they’re all emotional freaks of one sort or another. They’re guaranteed to invade your personal space, touch you. I sat next to a Republican senator once at dinner and he had his hand on my inner thigh the whole time. I was like, ehh, get me out of here.
HARWOOD: What?
BROOKS: I can only imagine what happens to you guys.
O’DONNELL: Sorry, who was that?
BROOKS: I’m not telling you, I’m not telling you.

The number of people who have died in the western Indian state of Gujarat after drinking toxic illegal alcohol has now risen to 107, police say.
Meanwhile, in raids across the state, police have detained over 800 people and Chief Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to punish those responsible.
In Ahmedabad city, where the deaths have taken place, schools and colleges have shut in protest.
Officials say the final toll may be higher as more people are in hospital.
Most of the dead are slum dwellers. Gujarat is a "dry" state where the sale of alcohol is banned.
But deaths from illegally brewed alcohol are common in South Asia.

Wife's on her way to Chetek. I decided to stay home because....well...because.
It is inevitable in modern American politics that each new president inaugurates his own brand of bushwa - rubbish, lies, eyewash, whatever you choose to call it - that reminds one of nothing so much as the previous guy’s bushwa. Mr. Obama is no exception. . . . Remember signing statements? Those were the dastardly little postscripts George Bush attached to legislation that he didn’t completely approve of. Signing statements ignore the “fundamental principle’’ of the separation of powers, the American Bar Association huffed. On the campaign trail, candidate Obama was asked, “Do you promise not to use presidential [signing statements] to get your way?’’ “Yes,’’ he answered. “I taught the Constitution for 10 years, I believe in the Constitution, and I will obey the Constitution of the United States. We are not going to use signing statements as a way of doing an end run around Congress.’’
That was easy!
Less easy is explaining away his six signing statements so far, an impressive one-a-month clip. “Signing statements serve a legitimate function in our system,’’ Obama now says, “at least when based on well-founded constitutional objections.’’ Mr. President, meet my friend George Orwell, inventor of Newspeak, who memorably wrote, “Political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness.’’
New bushwa same as the old bushwa? It’s a lot less different than we had been led to believe.

I think aquavit is about 80 proof usually, so about 40% alcohol.
I love licorice. Will the aquavit be stored next to the MGD and Coors?

"Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO) this week introduced a bill purporting to “save taxpayers $12.5 million this year and millions more in the future by prohibiting the United States from contributing to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is fraught with waste and is engaged in dubious science.” In a press release, Luetkemeyer explained his move:
We all know that the UN is incompetent when it comes to spending money, and that is why American taxpayers should not be forking over millions more to one of its organizations that not only is in need of significant reform but is engaged in dubious scientific quests. Folks in Missouri and across the country are tired of this never ending government spending spree, and my goal is to deliver some of our people’s hard-earned money back into their pocketbooks instead of spending it on international junk science."

Today's IG Report on illegal wiretapping answers another previously unanswered question: who called Mrs. Ashcroft to tell her Andy Card and Alberto Gonzales were coming to the ICU ward to rough of John Ashcroft.
George Bush did so himself.
From the report:
According to notes from Ashcroft's FBI security detail, at 6:20 PM that evening Card called the hospital and spoke with an agent in Ashcroft's security detail, advising him that President Bush would be calling shortly to speak with Ashcroft. Ashcroft's wife told the agent that Ashcroft woudl nto accept the call. Ten minutes later, the agent called Ashcroft's Chief of Staff David Ayres at DOJ to request that Ayres speak with Card about the President's intention to call Ashcroft. The agent conveyed to Ayres Mrs. Ashcroft's desire that no calls be made to Ashcroft for another day or two. However, at 6:5 PM, Card and the President called the hospital and, according to the agent's notes, "insisted on speaking [with Attorney General Ashcroft]." According to the agent's notes, Mrs. Ashcroft took the call from Card and the President and was informed that Gonzales and Card were coming to the hospital to see Ashcroft regarding a matter involing national security.

from a chemical-society official, but unfortunately you can't read the complete report unless you pay a fee to subscribe or buy one-time access.
And that's precisely the issue--taking money online, and losing it in print --that drove the chemistry society's decision, according to a recent story
in Ars Technica, which you can read in full, at no charge. The Web site notes that the journal publisher said, in the memo, that "printing and distribution costs now exceed revenues from print journals." Plus, scientists seem happier reading online, the society thinks. So this summer, all but three of its journals will become digital-only. No word on whether the society will pass on
to subscribers the savings it realizes from buying less paper and fewer stamps. But don't hold your breath."
Well, back in the day, the British upper classes were a lot more open about their taste for fascism than their American counterparts.
Back in the day? Try Googling "Max Mosley" or "Bernie Ecclestone."
Slate roofs. Southwestern France?
I've been to Zagreb (the only likely city in Croatia to be possible) and it doesn't look like Zagreb.
Sebs, you are now shunned for being annoying.
Belgium.
This is gamla sodermalm. One of the islands of stockholm.
i lived there for two years.
Best healthcare taxes can buy!!!!
Great city supertrain (tunnelbannen)
ps I stopped for ice cream once not far from where this picture was taken and princess caroline (next queen of sweden) stepped in line right behind me. No guards, just with her friends.
Those socialist hellholes sure are safe.
one other thing
sweden's summers are beautiful with light till 11pm.
every once in a while a summer will be sucky. Just like this summer in the US. DC, Chicago, Michigan, everywhere I have been this summer has been cloudy.
But a sunny, bright, Swedish summer is perfection.
It is part of sodermalm, the southern island of stockholms 14 islands. It is called Gamla Sodermalm because it is the old (gamla) part.
The main areas of stockholm are Norrmalm(north end/place) ostermalm (east end/place) sodermalm, gamlastan (old town, the tiny central island with the castle) and Kungsholmen (the kings island - which is the west end of the city).
There are several smaller islands.
The water is not a river. Stockholm is a bunch of islands wedged between the Baltic sea and a great big lake called Malaren.
I know this because I lived there and my Farmor is from Sweden. (farmor = grandmother)
