This is for Janeane: French words conservatives must stop using...
If some Conservatives out there insist on French-bashing and not calling things by their proper names (i.e. Freedom Fries instead of French Fries), they have a long way to go to re-tool the English language and eliminate all those stoopid French words. If we eliminate French words, we have to come up with a new term for cars and automobiles. George Bush has to take back his statement, "Mission Accomplished". He is not allowed to go to Crawford Ranch. Race fans and NASCAR Dads can no longer say engine, rail dragster, checkered flag, Grand Prix or rally race. They can no longer go to Rally's Burgers or have their Checkers Burgers. They can no longer live in their double-wides in mobile home parks. They can no longer go to fast food restaurants. Bill Frist, Dick Cheney and the gang cannot even *mention* filibusters, so they have to leave it alone. All of these words have French roots, so if they do ANY of these things or use ANY of these words, they are obviously unpatriotic.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. officials are investigating a report that an apparent hand grenade landed about 100 feet from where President Bush was speaking Tuesday in Tblisi, the capital of Georgia, a Secret Service spokesman said.
The Secret Service has not yet confirmed whether the object was a real grenade and if so, whether the pin had been pulled, said spokesman Jim Mackin.
"We have not seen the reported device," he said.
No explosion was reported.

It is really important to point out the number of religious leaders, (Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, etc.), who have spoke really had a liberal voice. Patrick Leahy referred to a letter, signed by over 400 religious leaders, requesting that Bill Frist not attend that American Taliban broadcast and speaking out against the nuclear option. Democrats will never get anywhere unless they understand that these people are also members of their base.

I agree with you, but I felt that there should have been some mention of what a poor job the televised media did of educating and informing the American people. It was not another Somalia. If people had really understood the atrocities, I wonder if it would have lasted 1000 days. The only thing I agreed with Wolfowitz on, which was not an original point by any means, was that if the U.N. Peacekeepers are not permitted to act, are only permitted to stand by and watch the slaugher, then they are not keeping the peace at all.
Posted by: CMinCA at May 10, 2005 08:48 PM
=================================================================================
However, Somalia is often used as the reason why the U.S. will not intervene to stop genocide. It is often argued that Americans are not interested in stopping genocide if it means using force. Some argue that the public would not support U.S. government officials if they proposed intervening. During the 100 days of the killing in Rwanda, there was time to stop the genocide in Rwanda. However, no government chose to act.
Would it have made a difference if people were more aware? Would people demand action if the media covered it? Would the world community "shame" or put pressure on a regime responsible for genocide? I agree that the media should have covered it more. (Read the story at the link below. The media also did not cover the Holocaust). However, should it take the media and a public outcry for governments to take action to stop genocide or ethnic cleansing?
========================================================
MEDIA AND GENOCIDE: Burying the News?
May 5, 2005 -- Since slavery, U.S. media coverage of crimes against humanity, including the recent Sudanese genocide, has been woefully inadequate--even though press attention has the power to save lives.

Posted by: hi gang at May 10, 2005 9:33 PM
For once, Janeane is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. The vast majority of people are physically unattractive.
It doesn't make any difference how that makes you feel, nor whether you WANT it to be true. It's just the truth, and it is true. So never mind your feelings.
Again I must say - what a pleasant surprise to hear how much better Janeane is without Sam Seder.
Not only that - but subbing in the morning for Jerry Springer seems to be teaching Seder a few things too. He has actually improved since yesterday!
He's learning some pitch control, and is slowly cacthing onto how to carry a show himself with a modicum of intelligence. (And this comment is coming from someone who nomrally can't stand him!)
Maybe Sam & Janeane simply need to be separated permenently. They do seem to reinforce each other's worst tendencies. Apart, each is forced to actually become competent at her/his own job. Keep 'em apart!
But anyway, let's face it. Most people are ugly. Myself included.
Janeane ain't so bad looking though, from the pictures I've seen. (Not that anyone with a life of their own should give a shit about that.)

When the Frankish so-called King of Jerusalem came to the castle at Alamut to parlay with him, Hassan i Sabbah is said to have simply snapped his long bony fingers at a sentinel posted in the cliff walls and the boy jumped, snapping to attention in full flight as he flashed past the astonished eyes of the Norman usurper.

Thank you for the link. I know it is difficult to think that the West would have acted. I doubt that they would have acted quickly enough. The problem was that they knew something like genocide was intended. They knew that the machetes had been shipped into the country. The U.N. peacekeepers were keeping them informed. Even the threat of military intervention by the West might have made a difference, but who knows. So tragic. I was just bawling at the end of SOMETIMES IN APRIL. Did you see HOTEL RWANDA? There was some overlap with Des Mille Coline.

Janeane,
Tonight you get an F in critical thinking skills.
Your quoting at length from Bin Laden struck us as very unseemly. We're great supporters of Air America, disdain the Bush administration. Your disclaimer "I don't agree with him!" didn't wash away the bad taste your lapse of judgment left us with. We're disappointed. The point you yourself were making became irrelevant. You wouldn't quote Hitler- or Bush, for that matter- would you?

Yeah, they both need space... BUT I think they should still do shows together... Sam can be the permanent sub and build himself that way. They should do at least 2 Majority Reports together . Maybe Sam is the successor to Al's Show after he starts running for Senate. They are both great radio...
I still think they both could just try to get along better. They need to show love to each other more, its like a competition with them. No reason to compete at all... They both fight for air time, maybe the answer is just give them more of it.

A Simple Request - Put My Son's Name on a Bomb
The Item Below is posted to demonstrate how successful the Bush Cabal has been in misleading the American people into believing that Iraq was responsible for, or associated with the tragedy of 9/11. It also shows how the US military panders to the misinformation and propaganda of our government.

Put My Son’s Name on a Bomb
Where is the Truth?
[I am taking a break from my usual ravings about politics and religion and terror to relate some sequence that involves people who are directly affected by personal losses that came as a result of the present bloody conflict. It is these losses that are felt by people on both sides that so many politicians, war mongers, terrorists and bloody minded fools pay so little attention to. The post is unusually long put I make no apologies for that this time.]

Dialogue with Super-Patriotic America
This post is a study of some of the debating tactics of misguided (and misguiding) American super-patriots. It stems from the discussion of my previous post. Amid all the noise of a lively debate, the main points of the debate were lost to most. This post is an outline of that debate without the noise… to illustrate those tactics.
Background
Over the past year, I was frequently taken aback by the ferocity of the attacks (and, sometimes the abuse) directed at me when criticizing the policies of the present American administration in Iraq. I was fascinated by those people. I began calling them ‘American Saddamists’ because they cannot distinguish between country and government… or leader.

IRAN LAUNCHES SUBMARINE PRODUCTION
TEHRAN: Iran on Tuesday officially launched the production of its first locally built submarine, a craft capable of operating stealthily, state-run television reported. Defence Ministry spokesman Mohammad Imani was quoted as saying "the enemy would not be able to detect the submarine."
He did not elaborate.
One submarine has apparently already been built and was shown on television on Tuesday, cruising at sea level. The Defence Ministry has commissioned an unspecified number of the craft that’s been dubbed "Ghadir." Ghadir is a site in the Arabian Peninsula that’s holy to Shias, the overwhelming majority of Iran’s 69 million people.
The submarine, which is capable of operating in the Persian Gulf and Oman seawaters, can launch both missiles and torpedoes at the same time, the television reported, without specifying the range of the projectiles.
In December, Iran announced the production of a line of stealth torpedoes that could be launched from helicopters, ships or submarines. Iranian officials have repeatedly said the Islamic Republic will defend itself should the United States or archrival Israel initiate any aggression. Pressure has mounted on Iran recently with suspicion over its nuclear program which Washington suspects is aimed at building unconventional weapons, a charge Iranian officials vehemently deny.

In a study using a brain imaging technique, Swedish researchers found that gay men and straight women respond the same to odours that may be involved in sexual arousal.
The study found that homosexual men's brains responded more like those of women when the men sniffed a chemical from the male hormone testosterone, a key component of male sweat.
The new research may open the way to studying human pheromones, as well as the biological basis of sexual preference.
Pheromones, chemicals emitted by one individual to evoke some behavior in another of the same species, are known to govern sexual activity in animals. But experts differ as to what role, if any, they play in making humans sexually attractive to one another.
By scanning their heads as they were subjected to routine odours such as lavender or cedar, researchers found all of them reacted in the parts of their brains designed to handle smells.
But when the gay men and straight women were exposed to the smell of testosterone, the part of their brains that deals with sexual response was activated.
The brains of straight men responded to testosterone as a smell only but reacted sexually to the female hormone estrogen.
heir findings will be published in the journal Psychological Science in September.

Halliburton Lands $72 Million in Bonuses
Reuters
Tuesday 10 May 2005
Army awards firm for logistics work; no decision on dining services.
Washington - The U.S. Army said on Tuesday it had awarded $72 million in bonuses to Halliburton Co. for logistics work in Iraq but had not decided whether to give the Texas company bonuses for disputed dining services to troops.
Army Field Support Command in Rock Island, Illinois, said in a statement it had given Halliburton unit Kellogg Brown & Root ratings from "excellent" to "very good" for six task orders for work supporting U.S. troops in Iraq.
The Army said its Award Fee Board in Iraq had met in March and had agreed to pay KBR bonuses for work it did in support of U.S. forces there.
But it said dining facility costs questioned by auditors from the Defense Contract Audit Agency had not yet been considered by the military's Award Fee Board.
The Army said it could not immediately provide more details on when the dining fee bonuses would be resolved.
Much of Halliburton's work for the U.S. military, ranging from building bases to delivering mail, is on a cost-plus basis, which means the company can earn up to 2 percent extra depending on its performance.
Bonuses are awarded based on, among other factors, how efficient and responsible the company is to requests from the Army and is an indicator of how the Army views KBR's performance in the field.

...The forces that killed Kennedy wanted the message clear: "We are in control and no one not the President, nor Congress, nor any elected official - no one can do anything about it." It was a message to the people that their government was powerless. And the people eventually got the message....
The tyranny of power is here. Current events tell us that those who killed Kennedy can only perpetuate their power by promoting social upheaval both at home and abroad. And that will lead not to revolution but repression. I suggest to you that the interests of those who killed Kennedy now transcend national boundaries and national priorities. No doubt we are dealing now with an international conspiracy. We must face that fact - and not waste any more time microanalyzing the evidence. That's exactly what they want us to do. They have kept us busy for so long. And I will bet that is what will happen to you. They'll keep you very, very busy and, eventually, they'll wear you down.
Microanalyzing keeps us busy. Meanwhile, they get away with it, again. 9/11 is a crime, and as I've said, crimes are not in the end How Done Its, they are Who Done Its. And if we are ever to reach the end, which is justice, then we had better get it through our heads that knowing the mechanics of their magic doesn't get us there...
...Once I knew the meaning of Kennedy's murder, it no longer mattered to me how many gunmen there were, or from where they pulled their triggers. I knew who paid for the bullets.
Once I knew the meaning of the falling towers, it no longer mattered to me how they fell. I knew who paid for that, too.

"Our findings support the contention that gender preference has a biological component that is reflected in both the production of different body odors and in the perception of and response to body odors," said neuroscientist Charles Wysocki, who led the study.
In particular, he said, finding differences in body odors between gay and straight individuals indicates a physical difference. It's hard to see how a simple choice to be gay or lesbian would influence the production of body odor, he said."
The term is sexual orientation, not preference, bitch.

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU
http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/conspiracies/15130
NEW YORK - Do you sometimes have the eerie feeling you're being watched? It's not just paranoia. With scores of spy satellites hovering overhead and surveillance cameras on every street corner, Big Brother now sees everything you do!
Whether you're driving down Main Street, cuddling with your sweetheart in your backyard hot tub or perched on the potty, federal government snoops and other Peeping Toms are now able to spy on you at will - and constantly do.
Experts warn that with round-the-clock surveillance a reality even for law-abiding citizens, our cherished "right to privacy" is now little more than a myth.
"Americans should be alarmed at the growth of surveillance in society without even minimal standards or regulations," Norman Siegel of the American Civil Liberty's Union told USA Today in a recent interview.
"We need a modern-day Paul Revere riding from city to city warning people: The cameras are coming!"
Uncle Sam's most potent tool for spying on citizens is what is known as "Keyhole-class" or KH satellites. For security reasons, there are no published orbit schedules for these $1 billion craft and the exact number of them in operation is highly classified.

God Hates Shrimp
Shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, mussels, all these are an abomination before the Lord, just as gays are an abomination. Why stop at protesting gay marriage? Bring all of God's law unto the heathens and the sodomites. We call upon all Christians to join the crusade against Long John Silver's and Red Lobster. Yea, even Popeye's shall be cleansed. The name of Bubba shall be anathema. We must stop the unbelievers from destroying the sanctity of our restaurants.

"Full-time surveillance is a reality of modern life," warns the USA Today article.
But those eyes in the sky aren't the only cameras that are watching you. In cities from Los Angeles to Arling-ton, Va., officials have set up extensive, 1984-type systems of hidden cameras to spy on citizens, "just in case" one of them commits an offense.
Experts say that nationwide, there are now at least a million closed-circuit cameras in position in offices, garages, apartment buildings, stores, banks, restaurants - even golf courses.
Chillingly, when the ACLU conducted a block-by-block inspection of Manhattan, volunteers identified a whopping 2,397 surveillance cameras.
Arlington, Va., boasts a $40 million surveillance center which controls 110 cameras monitoring the roads - each equipped with a long lens able to zoom in close enough to peer inside a vehicle and catch an unwitting motorist picking his nose.
On paper, the purpose of the cameras is to allow staffers at the Virginia Smart Traffic Center to summon help if they see problems on the road. But officials admit that the long lenses are also able to peer into the bedrooms of homes along the Interstate - or to zero in on a driver who's paused to crouch in the bushes and answer the call of nature.
Experts say that America is fast going the way of Great Britain, where an even more vast system of cameras has been put in place nationwide to keep the public in line. Britons have already tossed in the towel when it comes to maintaining their privacy.
"There's a general acceptance that wherever you go, you will have cameras pointed at you," activist Simon Davies said in an interview.

Why not just leave it at that?

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/conspiracies/15130
NEW YORK - Do you sometimes have the eerie feeling you're being watched? It's not just paranoia. With scores of spy satellites hovering overhead and surveillance cameras on every street corner, Big Brother now sees everything you do!
Whether you're driving down Main Street, cuddling with your sweetheart in your backyard hot tub or perched on the potty, federal government snoops and other Peeping Toms are now able to spy on you at will - and constantly do.
Experts warn that with round-the-clock surveillance a reality even for law-abiding citizens, our cherished "right to privacy" is now little more than a myth.
"Americans should be alarmed at the growth of surveillance in society without even minimal standards or regulations," Norman Siegel of the American Civil Liberty's Union told USA Today in a recent interview.
"We need a modern-day Paul Revere riding from city to city warning people: The cameras are coming!"
Uncle Sam's most potent tool for spying on citizens is what is known as "Keyhole-class" or KH satellites. For security reasons, there are no published orbit schedules for these $1 billion craft and the exact number of them in operation is highly classified.
Each KH satellite is essentially a gigantic orbiting digital camera outfitted with a huge lens. They are placed into secret orbits by NASA space shuttles or Titan 4 rockets and images from the satellites are analyzed by powerful computers at the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, which distributes the photos to other government agencies.
Each satellite can see a 5-inch object on the ground - which means it can read your license plate or check out what you're eating as you picnic in the park with your family.
While ostensibly, data gathered by the KH satellites is to be used for military intelligence and scientific research, the NSA, CIA and other agencies are notorious for using the high-tech hardware to spy on U.S. citizens who might be "potential terrorists," lawbreakers or troublemakers - meaning just about anyone.

"Today's neo-Puritan activists fear that someone, somewhere, may be enjoying ... a plate of shrimp," warns columnist Neil Hrab. "And, like the puritans of yesteryear, they see grave danger in allowing people this simple pleasure." The usual suspects -- groups like Greenpeace, Ralph Nader's Public Citizen, and the Environmental Justice Foundation -- are now pushing a boatload of trumped up scares on issues ranging from the environment to human rights, but with only shrimp-sized evidence to back them up. Aside from seafood lovers, their victims include the Third World farmers whose shrimp earns much needed income.

Texas is eliminating property tax!!
Senate to scrap statewide property tax proposal
Lawmakers retooling bill to get it through Upper Chamber.
By Mike Ward, Jason Embry
AMERICAN-STATESMAN STAFF
Tuesday, May 10, 2005
Faced with too few votes to pass a controversial tax bill, Senate leaders this afternoon are close to agreement on a revamped bill that will look more like the tax bill the House backed two months ago.
Statewide property taxes: Gone.
Flat-rate business tax: Morphing some to allow Senate leaders to pick up votes from senators who object to what was proposed earlier, though Senate leaders say this will likely continue to be a key part of the final plan.
Senators are also working out details to make sure the bill gives a tax break to a broader range of Texans. As currently written, it would result in a tax increase for anyone with an income of less than $140,000 a year.
"We are very close," said Senate Education Committee Chairman Florence Shapiro, R-Plano. "I think you'll see the statewide property tax removed. The business taxes are still under discussion, but removing the payroll tax would bring in additional votes."
At mid-afternoon, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Steve Ogden, R-College Station, reported Senate leaders had 20 of the necessary 21 votes to bring the Senate version of House Bill 3 up for debate. That was much better than earlier in the day, when only 14 or 15 votes were solid.
A key opponent of the Senate's plan, Sen. Jane Nelson, said she, too, would likely support the revised Senate plan if the statewide property tax is gone. "That will be a big step in the right direction," she said. "I'm not saying I'll support anything until I see the actual bill, but that will be a big step forward."

Janeane,
Prejudice is sneakier than you are willing to admit. For many years, I worked the night shift at Harvard's Lamont library. I am, after all,
the guy by the door...who looks after things.
My regulars were mostly undergraduates. Women wearing the hajib stand out. I did not see them smile. I thought perhaps they were serious people. I saw in the Crimson that one of my young scholars won "Islamic Woman of the Year." That very night she came in. And she left with someone I knew. So I said, "I see you're with a celebrity tonight." The Islamic Woman of the Year burst into a giddy school girl laugh indistinguishable from an all American school girl. I was a little surprised.
Awkward but true.

Craig Unger in the book "House of Bush, House of Saud" describes how the republicans market their Wars and out-source the advertising to high powered Washington Lobbying firms.
Not surprising the "terrorist" are more than likely the ones financing our wars as well.
According to the implications of the Powell doctrine
- there must be strong support for the campaign by the general public;
It costs big money to finance large propaganda campaigns with US advertising companies.
Americans surprise, surprise. Some little man behind the curtain and more than likely on the Saudi Prince's payroll is telling you why to send your children to die.

LAST CHANCE TO STOP NATIONAL ID
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a spending bill last week that
contains provisions establishing a national ID card, and the Senate is
poised to approve the measure in the next few days. This week marks the
American public's last chance to convince their senators they don't want to
live in a nation that demands papers from its citizens as they go about
their lives.
Absent a political miracle in the Senate, within two years every American
will need a conforming national ID card to participate in ordinary
activities. This REAL ID Act establishes a massive, centrally coordinated
database of highly personal information about American citizens: at a
minimum their name, date of birth, place of residence, Social Security
number, and physical characteristics. The legislation also grants open-ended
authority to the Secretary of Homeland Security to require biometric
information on IDs in the future. This means your harmless looking driver's
license could contain a retina scan, fingerprints, DNA information, or radio
frequency technology.
Think this sounds farfetched? Read the REAL ID Act, HR 418, for yourself.
Its text is available on the Library of Congress Web site. A careful reading
also reveals that states will be required to participate in the "Driver's
License Agreement," which was crafted by DMV lobbyists years ago. This
agreement creates a massive database of sensitive information on American
citizens that can be shared with Canada and Mexico!

Top Ten Armies of the World - According to StrategyPage 6/12/2004 7:47:54 AM
This is from today's (6/12/2004) FYEO:
ARMED FORCES OF THE WORLD: Who Has the Most Combat Power
June 12, 2004: Which country on the planet has the most powerful armed
forces? It's not a matter of numbers, although that's a major factor.
By Armed Forces Size
China,
United States,
India,
North Korea,
Russia,
South Korea,
Pakistan,
Israel,
Turkey,
Iran.
But anyone who has studied military history knows that the number of
troops is a misleading measurement. There are several factors that make
the troops of one army more effective than others. The most obvious
modifying factor is weapons and equipment (quantity and quality). Closely
related to this are the “combat support” elements. The most important of
these are logistics (being able to move troops, and their supplies, long
distances and in a timely manner) and maintenance (keeping things in
repair and running under all conditions.) Then there are the intangibles,
like leadership, training and the most intangible item of all; military
tradition. Apply all of those and you get a different top ten. This number
is called "combat power."
By Combat Power
United States,
China,
Israel,
India,
Russia,
South Korea,
North Korea,
United Kingdom,
Turkey,
Pakistan.
