It was a small one and it shook the windows and rattled crap in the cupboards.

I just love earthquakes, I know your not suppose to and Peeps and shit gets hurt sometimes. But I have lived here all my life and I wait for them. they don't last long and by the time you realize it's an earth quake it's done.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - A mild earthquake shook the desert early Sunday but there were no immediate reports of any injuries or damage, authorities said.

The magnitude-5.6 quake struck about 8:40 p.m. and was centered 20 miles south of Palm Springs, according to a preliminary report by the U.S. Geological Survey.

A dispatcher with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said she received dozens of calls about the quake but hadn't received any word about injuries or damage.

The quake was felt as far west as Los Angeles, where it rolled for several seconds, and as far south as San Diego, 75 miles southwest of Palm Springs, where hundreds of scientists gathered for a diabetes conference.

Hey Kev, and MAT.

All's well here, thanks...How 'bout you MAT? What's up with the house offers?

What happend Kev? Did you just get some strong sense of an earthquake coming? Or your dogs were weird? Or the weather? or what? That's pretty cool how you did that... :)

YES..! I see crack....

The coingate WILL reveal the OHIO election fraud... I can feel this. Sooner or later we gonna hit memo/email/letters indicating somebody is manipulating the voting machine...

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/12/11144/5103

It is becoming clear that coingate is going to be part of the 2006 corruption narrative.

They say recent revelations about wrongdoing in the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation and its rare-coin investment with Mr. Noe, a prominent Republican campaign contributor, have given new life to Democrats clinging to the belief that last year's election was riddled with corruption in Ohio.

Yes, Tie it together, keep up the pressure, open a second front.

The controversy has Democrats questioning whether the Ohio Republicans who permitted the state's rare-coin investment could have been capable of wrongdoing at the polls last November.

Bye # ! Have fun at the park! :)

we were given an offer yesterday at 2:00pm and we countered.

We will know Monday Morning.

If they accept the counter offer we will have to be out of our home on the 16th of july.

We will not be able to leave SD at that time however because Husbots work wants him to stay untill the new shop is built. : \

So we might be living in a APT!!! nooooooooooo!

Zip TIES TOO! : ] That would make me smile and dance naked in the streets!

Art is mind, and mind does not at all need to feel itself obligated to the community, to society, it may not, in my view, for the sake of its freedom, its nobility. An art that goes in unto the folk, which makes her own the needs of the crowd, of the little man, of small minds, arrives at wretchedness, and to make it her duty is the worst small -- mindedness, and the murder of mind and spirit. And it is my conviction that mind, in its most audacious, unrestrained advance and researches, can, however unsuited to the masses, be certain in some indirect way to serve man in the long run.

this day just gets better and better!

the good news is it is on the bottle not on the rug. But what the hell was that about anyway?

is room is 2 steps from the bathroom...

but something tells me the bottle was just a remnant of "fun times"

I'm starting to wondr if he used it to analy pleasure himself.

the bottel in question is one of the new 16 ounce aluminum bottle shaped conainter. they are thinner than the normal bottle by about 1/3rd.

"...its late and I don't feel like doing shit."

I know that feeling. I ususally get it about the time I get to work on Mondays ;)

Cat food is so iffy these days.

I have been feeding Isabel something called Innova.

She is not tossing it up, she only does it now when fatty Mcfatterson chases her while she is eating.

Fatty Mcfatterson can be a real little shit when he wants to be and He is a speed bumb for the bed.

He is really long and he stretches all the way out so his hed is at the foot of the bed and his tail is flippy flipping in our faces and he lays RIGHT between me and Husbot!

Don't Follow the Money

By FRANK RICH

(...)
Such is the equivalently supine state of much of the news media today that Mr. Colson was repeatedly trotted out, without irony, to pass moral judgment on Mr. Felt - and not just on Fox News, the cable channel that is actually run by the former Nixon media maven, Roger Ailes. "I want kids to look up to heroes," Mr. Colson said, oh so sorrowfully, on NBC's "Today" show, condemning Mr. Felt for dishonoring "the confidence of the president of the United States." Never mind that Mr. Colson dishonored the law, proposed bombing the Brookings Institution and went to prison for his role in the break-in to steal the psychiatric records of The Times's Deep Throat on Vietnam, Daniel Ellsberg. The "Today" host, Matt Lauer, didn't mention any of this - or even that his guest had done jail time. None of the other TV anchors who interviewed Mr. Colson - and he was ubiquitous - ever specified his criminal actions in the Nixon years. Some identified him onscreen only as a "former White House counsel."

Had anyone been so rude (or professional) as to recount Mr. Colson's sordid past, or to raise the question of whether he was a hero or a traitor, the genealogical line between his Watergate-era machinations and those of his present-day successors would have been all too painfully clear. The main difference is that in the Nixon White House, the president's men plotted behind closed doors. The current administration is now so brazen it does its dirty work in plain sight.

In the most recent example, all the president's men slimed and intimidated Newsweek by accusing it of being an accessory to 17 deaths for its errant Koran story; led by Scott McClellan, they said it was unthinkable that any American guard could be disrespectful of Islam's holy book. These neo-Colsons easily drowned out Gen. Richard Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Afghanistan's president, Hamid Karzai, both of whom said that the riots that led to the 17 deaths were unrelated to Newsweek. Then came the pièce de résistance of Nixon mimi

An Unusual Cat Poem by Wendy Cope

here is w[h]ere we are going shell

Posted by: akaMAT at June 12, 2005 12:54 PM

Definition of being subjected to culture, environmental, weather/climate & terrain shock:

moving from San Diego to the suburbs of Portland.

I'm kinda confident that you & your family unit will LOVE IT thereabouts, Missy!

Many rivers to cross

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I am lost

As I travel along the white cliffs of dover

Many rivers to cross

And it's only my will that keeps me alive

I've been licked, washed up for years

And I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone

It's such a drag to be on your own

My woman left me and she didn't say why

Well, I guess I'll have to cry

Many rivers to cross

But just where to begin I'm playing for time

There have been times I find myself

Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross

But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering, I am lost

As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross

And I merely survive because of my will...

Crook ale has drinkers ailing with hepatitis

June 13, 2005

MOSCOW: A hepatitis-A outbreak caused by tainted beer has put 461 people in hospital, 117 of them children.

Rjepivo brewery in southwest Russia's Tver region is thought to be the culprit, with sales suspended as a result.

"It's expected for another few days about 40 will contract the disease daily, then the number will start to decline," Tver Governor Dmitry Zelenin said.

Officials said earlier that the newly hospitalised were in a better condition than those who fell ill a few days before, an indication that the illness is now being diagnosed in its early stages.

Seven people are already out of hospital, the governor's spokesman Igor Gmyza said. Cases had also been recorded in Moscow and western province of Smolensk.

Hepatitis-A is a highly contagious viral infection of the liver.

Lawmaker's Home Sale Questioned

San Diego

Cunningham defends deal with defense firm's owner

A defense contractor with ties to Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham took a $700,000 loss on the purchase of the congressman's Del Mar house while the congressman, a member of the influential defense appropriations subcommittee, was supporting the contractor's efforts to get tens of millions of dollars in contracts from the Pentagon.

Mitchell Wade bought the San Diego Republican's house for $1,675,000 in November 2003 and put it back on the market almost immediately for roughly the same price. But the Del Mar house languished unsold and vacant for 261 days before selling for $975,000.

Meanwhile, Cunningham used the proceeds of the $1,675,000 sale to buy a $2.55 million house in Rancho Santa Fe. And Wade, who had been suffering through a flat period in winning Pentagon contracts, was on a tear – reeling in tens of millions of dollars in defense and intelligence-related contracts.

Imperialists in UN Targeting Sudan

By Yamin Zakaria

Al-Jazeerah, June 12, 2005

[--]

What is even more amazing is that the UN can quote figures of atrocities in the remote region of Darfur, but not the mass casualties occurring in Iraq, under the control of the Americans? How is it that the US being present and in control of Iraq does not have any idea about the civilian and non-civilian casualties, yet it claims to know about the figures in Darfur? The world will see the claims of these figures, as accurate, as the US claims of Iraq’s WMDs, i.e. another US “whopper”.

Will continue to oppose the war in Iraq

Dear Editor:

An irate gentleman recently berated me for my stance and position on the Iraq war and George W. Bush. He informed me that I "should be ashamed to put the president and the war down." This gentleman has the right to support the war and Mr. Bush. I have an equal right not to do so.

I cannot in good conscience support a war that we now know was conceived in lies, and in my opinion, was sown in seeds of dishonor. I cannot support a president who contrived this war on a personal vendetta. The price is just too high. The actions of George W. Bush are not the panacea for that inflamed region of the world.

In my opinion, our brave and gallant troops are not dying in Iraq for "our country." Rather, they are dying for George W. Bush, his lies and his distorted administration, and that is just plain wrong. This irate gentleman said that to leave Iraq too soon would be a disaster. A disaster was committed when Mr. Bush gave the order for invasion. To remain in Iraq will become an even greater disaster.

Ashamed? On the contrary. The shame would be not to speak out in opposition to this illegal, ill-fated horror. It is Mr. Bush who should be ashamed, along with his administration and all those misguided people who so blindly follow Mr. Bush in whatever illegal direction he so chooses to take our country.

I shall continue to voice my opposition to this horrible, wicked war that continues to pluck the flower of our youth from us. And I shall continue to oppose Mr. Bush and his irrational folly. I would only feel ashamed if I did not do so.

Shinnecock Tribe Plans Suit, Claiming Land in Hamptons

The Shinnecock tribe on Long Island says it will sue in federal court this week, claiming ownership of thousands of acres of prime Hamptons real estate worth billions of dollars. Based on property values, the case would rank as one of the biggest Indian land disputes in history, experts say.

Tribal leaders say their suit seeks to reclaim 3,600 acres in Southampton that include the Southampton College campus, the Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, where the United States Open is played, and the bayfront resort community Shinnecock Hills.

The tribe says it will also file a second suit, within a month, claiming much more of Southampton - possibly the entire town, which has 57,000 residents, major parks, Grabeski Airport, Suffolk County's jail and courts, many businesses and spectacular oceanfront homes.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney slammed Democratic Party boss Howard Dean as "over the top" in a television interview to air on Monday, saying Dean had helped Republicans more than Democrats.

"I think Howard Dean's over the top. I've never been able to understand his appeal. Maybe his mother loved him, but I've never met anybody who does," Cheney told Fox News Channel.

"So far, I think he's probably helped us more than he has them. That's not the kind of individual you want to have representing your political party," Cheney said.

Cheney's attack was the latest in a chorus of Republican complaints about the Democratic National Committee chairman, who recently said Republicans "never made an honest living in their lives" and were "pretty much a white, Christian party."

Some prominent Democrats have complained about Dean's comments but others have rallied to his defense. The former Vermont governor was known for his fiery rhetoric during his failed 2004 White House run.

Cheney admitted it "doesn't matter so much what I think, I'm a Republican," but said some Democrats he had talked to thought Dean was "doing more damage to the party than he is good."

OK NOW I'm going to SIGN the HOWARD DEAN THING!!!

Chainey is an ASSHOLE!!! GRRRR!

Ministers were told of need for Gulf war ‘excuse’

MINISTERS were warned in July 2002 that Britain was committed to taking part in an American-led invasion of Iraq and they had no choice but to find a way of making it legal.

The warning, in a leaked Cabinet Office briefing paper, said Tony Blair had already agreed to back military action to get rid of Saddam Hussein at a summit at the Texas ranch of President George W Bush three months earlier.

The briefing paper, for participants at a meeting of Blair’s inner circle on July 23, 2002, said that since regime change was illegal it was “necessary to create the conditions” which would make it legal.

The pitiful main stream media has run out of skills and never to print anything corporate media doesn't approve, so they're trying to pass us British govt leaks for investigative reporting.

Report this Washington Post, “The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.”

Report on a Wolf in Wolf's clothing. Try to get at least 2 sources and make it sound really pretty. We'll read the intoxicating shite and forget about the terrible murders, crimes, lies, and corruption of this administration after the hangover, right.

Blair and Bush are guilty of the biggest war crimes of modern times..

Economic deprivation of the needy and exploitation of the weak is a part the Blair / BUsh grand strategy for empire.

And we'll do more to help people in the world. That's another lie, not even worth repeating. They haven't helped anyone but themselves to get richer thus far so what makes you idiots from the msm still publish these lies on their face. In fact, their killin the people.

Dean Just Told Them The Truth and They Thought It Was Hell

by Thom Hartmann

This morning I called the Democratic National Committee to tell them that I support Howard Dean's modern-day version of Harry Truman's dictum that, "I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell."

Timid and fearful Democrats are trembling on national television as they beg Dr. Dean to stop pointing out the hypocricy and misinformation efforts of Republicans in office and Conservatives in the media.

"He doesn't speak for me," they say, apparently longing for the days when their spokesman was taking big checks from multinational corporations, signing corporate-friendly trade deals, and defending sex scandals.

The simple truth is that corporate interests have hijacked our nation, theocrats want to take us back to the days of the Salem Witch Trials (with gays playing the part of witches), and the "stars" in the corporate "mainstream" media have been so terrified by Bush administration threats of loss of access (which could then lead to the loss of their own 6- and 7-figure income jobs) that they perpetuate administration lies and tremble at the thought of actually asking a tough follow-up question when Bush prevaricates.

Howard Dean points out these uncomfortable truths. And, like the little boy who said that the Emperor had no clothes, those entrenched in the status quo are trying to hush him up.

i'll get an "I hate the Troops" sticker and put it over her other one. sweet

well I for one am not ashamed to say I do not support the troops.

Sorry, but I don't. If you sign up to kill others I only feel distain.

He said 'mom all I want to do is go over there and shoot me some towelheads'. " Folks, they are out there. They are Christain and they kill in the name of Christ!

Fat ass may as well put Polozi on his staff if she is going to make statements for him.

Why didn't she ask for his resignation for incompetence and then we could call her office with support and not fat asses??? I wouldn't call his ass anyway.

Just my take. I took issue with the democrats on the committee having their arms tied and voices silenced by fat ass man and then he is not being held up to public scrutiny for his rude inappropriate undemocratic actions.

Sounds like Mike Moore movie did some good. Congress is actually reading again and this time the Patriot Act will not trample on our civil liberties with ease.

Polozi thinks she's working with these repubies who could careless and are at war with her.

you need to watch this 51min movie

please watch it.

The lesson for the right wing criminals of Watergate was, "Just Destroy The Tapes."

In putting the lesson into practice: During Iran/Contra in an effort to avoid prosecution documents were systematically destroyed.

Fawn Hall was Lt. Col. Oliver L. North's secretary on the National Security Council staff from February 1983 until North was fired on November 25, 1986. In November 1986, Hall participated with North and other NSC staff members in obstructing official investigations and altering, destroying, and removing official Iran/contra-related documents from the White House.

Like seasoned criminals the right wing learned their lessons from previous criminal schemes and have managed to learn over time how to cover their tracks.

Apparently Great Britian, a partner in the U.S. right wings latest criminal venture, has no such recollection in evading prosecution....

what about the Anarchist cook book?

I have to go play showfer!

later.

please watch that movie I posted.

shhhh! Don't let Phyllis Schlaffly hear about the Anarchist cookbook!

Amen! It's amazing the amount of damage the fuck yourself man can do with the help of few crooked judges.

Is it realistic to think Bush is going to be impeached?

Or

Are they even going to be legally compelled to answer for any of their actions ever?

http://www.juancole.com/2005/06/international-criminal-court-and.html

"The International Criminal Court and Blair/Bush"

"Regarding accountability and the ICC: It does seem that the Blair administration was much more cognizant of the potential conflict with the ICC. Indeed the prominent British human rights lawyer Cherie Booth (aka Mrs. Blair) wrote in an essay on the ICC in 2003 that "...it is of singular importance to note that no one-- not even a serving head of state --will be able to claim immunity from the jurisdiction of the Court." (in "from Nuremberg to The Hague: The Future of International Criminal Justice," Philippe Sands editor.)

Britain's House of Lords had previously asserted in the Pinochet case (1998) the lack of immunity for certain crimes under international law: the judges stressed that
accountability was ESPECIALLY important for state figures.

Are they even going to be legally compelled to answer for any of their actions ever?

Posted by: "NEWS CONSUMER" at June 12, 2005 05:39 PM

We have to work on it. I mean do you think it will happen automatically without the people ask for it?

If any Dean-supportive Kos members here haven't recommended the latest petition diary, please click and do so. It's about to slip off the recommended list.

On the drum beat for impeachment "How the judges influence Americans right to know."

Why are the courts still insisting the American people can't know who and what was said and done at the energy policy meeting with "TO CROOKED TO BE PRESIDENT - CHENEY"

Just out, the war on terror is over. It was all a lie. VP Cheney resigns amid calls for his arrest. Under heavy military guard he was taken to Jackson WY where he'll be preparing what must be a very difficult defense against the alleged crimes against the state.

His last statement as he departed were, "I'm not a crook, I'm not saying fuck you to the American people, and I did not have pre-911 plans to attack Iraq."

One can't be too careful when deliberating over the shifting and byzantine web of confusion and doubt that is so-called "climate" "change." Whom should we believe: the unruly mob of every reputable climatologist on the planet, or the selfless sages at Exxon-Mobil? Uncertainty abounds, even among higher beings like the Medium Lobster. We must examine all sides of the issue, take input from all corners: from the side of science, and from the side of oil industry whores paid to lie about science. Someday, somehow, between these complex and opposing points of view, we may just find an answer.

Or, a Watergate analogy on how the Iraq coverage is reported in isolation and each brainless headstrong fuck-up and/or deliberate deception is treated separately instead of stringing together a coherent narrative:

----------

... To use yet another Watergate analogy, it's as if the press were still occasionally publishing brief stories about a break-in at DNC headquarters, involving security guys tied to the White House, who were being paid with money diverted from a Republican campaign fund, controlled by the attorney general of the United States -- all of which was being studiously ignored by the FBI -- without ever getting around to examining the question of whether the whole thing might be part of a conspiracy directed by the president of the United States.

Maybe the Downing Street Memo (coupled with Bush's sinking poll numbers) will be the cocktail that puts a little fire in the bellies of the Washington press corps ...

He asked McCullough if devine intervention had anything to do with George Washinton's escape during the battle of New York...

Watch the House Judiciary Committee yesterday, when United States, Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) shut down the hearing on reauthorization of the Patriot Act.

was my only look at how the American government is acting out McCarthyism in the War Against Terrorism.

i was looking at the people in the audience mostly Muslim looking women and thinking what have they done? are they terrorists? are their families terrorist?

i was further impressed that my congressman was one of the democrats asking for clarification of the legality of arrests made under the auspice of the Patriot Act.

there you go washington post another story for ya new york times.

the extent that journalist have pissed on the ability to report stories accurately about this so-called war on terrorism is schizophrenic.

How prevalent is McCarthyism in the war on terror CBS, NBC, ABC...?

Past: Joseph McCarthy

Shows clips from babbling white nationalist racist speaking about the communist in our midst.

Today's: Joseph McCarthy Jr. (Sensenbrenner)

Shows clips from babbling white nationalist racist speaking about the terrorists in our midst.

Awareness is really controlled to portray the angry fat man not as the asshole Mccarthyist he is but as the human jolly old upset fat white man that the sexy white female has to calm down and apologize for as if they just had some little lovers quarrel.

Well, that was also my first make-out kiss with a boy. I remember, clear as a bell, going home where my mom and dad were up watching Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart and Carol Burnett. That was the Saturday night lineup at the time, and they had made it all the way to Carol Burnett by the time I came in, and there they were, waiting for the story of Janeane going out. I remember -- and this is going way deeper than you could ever want to know -- feeling very odd and wanting to turn back time and be younger, watching Carol Burnett with them. I remember deliberately going and lying on the couch with the blanket the way I always did as a younger kid. I felt so awkward, telling them about kissing a boy, so I tried to recreate being 7 years old, on their laps, watching Carol Burnett.

I told them about the date and my dad tried to make a joke about it, in his way, and I felt horribly embarrassed. I said, "I think we're going out!" I thought that was a cool thing to say. And my dad said [jocular Dad voice], "Where ya goin'?" And I felt horribly embarrassed, although I don't know why. That started a lifelong embarrassment with boys and my dad. To this day I'm awkward explaining to him anything vaguely sexual. I still won't tell my dad if I have dates. He probably thinks I'm still a virgin. And I am! I get to reclaim it, since it's been eight months since I've had a boyfriend. I have reclaimed my virginity -- my hymen grew back!

All Soul And No Money may be singer/songwriter Jake La Botz’s first internationally distributed album. But he’s lived several lifetimes in getting there. Indeed, the Chicago native, presently living in Los Angeles, has packed a lot into his short lifetime. He’s been a street musician and a busker and he’s opened concerts for Ray Charles. He’s played guitar in the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church band in South Central Los Angeles and he’s auditioned for lead singer in Velvet Revolver. He’s appeared in several indie films including the movie “Ghost World,” and he’s written obituaries to cover the rent. He once lived in his car until Chicago’s winter chill demanded he go inside.

And now, with All Soul And No Money, it’s time for Jake La Botz to rise up from the underground and receive due recognition for his instantly memorable songs – which emanate from varied influences of Mississippi Hill Country and Chicago blues, punk rock and Americana. Or as La Botz himself describes it: “Soul Folk.”

“La Botz calls it "soul folk," but his category-defying mix includes heavy doses of blues, rock and gospel, reflecting his background playing both on the street and in church. Singing in a voice that falls between the braying power of Axl Rose and the ragged, hipsterish drawl of early Tom Waits...” -- Philadelphia Inquirer

“All glorious guts, whether the L.A.-based singer-songwriter is coming at you as a bluesman, punker or purveyor of twang.”
-- Los Angeles Times “Buzz Bands”

“(Jake’s music) falls somewhere between blues-rock and gospel with tinges of punk-rock attitude and the deft wordplay of a rapper. The more you listen to the album, the more it makes sense.” -- L.A. Alternative Press

“La Botz has a way of capturing his influences and

More Advice to Batshit Loopy Prez

Dear Batshit Loopy Leader of the Free World,

I've been reading about your press conference with Tony Blair this week. The one where you categorically denied the assertions in The Downing Street Minutes. Remember, in answering the question, you said, "And somebody said, well, you know, we had made up our mind to go to use military force to deal with Saddam. There's nothing farther from the truth." Well, since your poll numbers are hitting historic lows, I took the opportunity to jot down some constructive criticisms that I think might get you back on top (or at least off rock bottom). Please consider the following.

First, stop the compulsive lying. It is pretty apparent to anyone who doesn't have their head completely up your ass, that if your lips are moving, you are spewing forth the most dishonest shit (either that, or you're blathering gibberish, which isn't a lot better). I mean, living with the consequences of your fucked-up policies really sucks. But, I think the compulsive lying thing, where you tell us that your policies are not actually fucked-up is what really drives your poll numbers down. I mean, think about it. Iraq War of Liberation. Clean Skies. Healthy Forests. Strengthening Social Security. They Fear Democracy. Energy Security. Just shut the fuck up already. Stop your lips from moving = less compulsive lying = slightly better poll numbers. I am pretty sure about this.

Forecast:

2008 Election: Great Depression II has begun. Will America choose Hillary over Arnold? Vote Fraud scenario: The vote is fixed in favor of Hillary by Republicans, then Hillary is accused of Vote Fraud and Congressional investigations begin. Gridlock City for 3 years.

Then suddenly, during a Constitutional Crisis, a special session of Congress is called by President HRC, which the Reich Wing boycotts.

During the session, attended mostly by Democrats and the President, another plane enters D.C. airspace and crashes into the Capitol Dome, killing the President and Democrats.

Arnold, who has claimed victory all along, is given the Oath of Office by Chief Justice Scalia. Live coverage on all networks unites the bereaved nation under a strong leader.

"America will rise from the ashes," declares Arnold. "I will not let these terrorists, nor their accomplices in political office, ever threaten this land again."

NBC, CBS and ABC offer President Schwarzenegger live access for any reason, at any time. They also offer the President full control of their news departments, in a show of patriotism. "I agree with CBS's decision," states Dan Rather from retirement. "President Schwarzenegger is going to restore America."

The new President hand-picks his New Congress and new "Freedom Of Speech Laws" are enacted immediately, to protect Good Americans from Bad Americans.

This will happen in the Spring of 2011.

Another possible case of mad cow disease has shown up, this time in the United States. Over two years ago, the US border was closed to Canadian cattle. Since then, US ranchers have insisted that in North America, mad cow disease is a Canadian problem

Syria's ambassador to the United States says allegations that his country still has agents in Lebanon are "unjustified, inaccurate and unfair."

Syrian ambassador to the United States, Imad Moustapha, told CNN's "Late Edition" his country left no agents in Lebanon when it pulled out last April.

"What we say in Syria is that we have made a strategic decision. We have withdrawn from Lebanon, completely and categorically," he says.

Mr. Moustapha added his belief that there are so-called "third forces," which are trying to sow discord between Syria and Lebanon.

"There are forces that do not want to see a good, friendly, brotherly relation between Syria and Lebanon, and they're creating this myth and these stories about Syria going to kill Lebanese leaders," Mr. Moustapha says.

Subject: On The Nature Of The Outrageous And Delusional

Dear Representative Sensenbrenner,

As a resident of Wisconsin, I would like to take issue with some recent actions of yours which seem contrary to the best interests of our citizens. In fact, your actions could be seen as detrimental to Americans in general and perhaps even to our very democracy.

I am referring to your heavy handed and bizarre behavior in oversight of last weeks attempted hearing on the sixteen "sun-setting" provisions of the so-called "USA Patriot Act." Many of these provisions have been uniformly condemned as invasions of our individual rights to privacy and are seen as one part of the slow erosion of personal freedoms which has taken place under the Bush administration. A careful examination of these provisions as they have been enforced since enactment would appear to be in order and appropriate for your committee's attention.

I find it somewhat ironic that you recently chided Democratic National Committee Chairman Gov. Howard Dean by using two inappropriate derogatory terms that could very easily and more accurately be used in description of your actions as Judiciary Committee Chairman.

In a letter to Gov. Dean, you miss-characterized his comments regarding "anti-immigrant" legislation you are sponsoring as "outrageous" and "delusional." Rep. Sensenbrenner, those are distortions of the DNC Chairman's comments as well as an obvious and irresponsible act of political opportunism.

Your "outrageous" use of those striking terms is clearly intended to distract the public by to drawing media focus away from your bill and onto the Governor's comments. In light of the bill in question, Gov. Dean's observations could be more suitably called "well reasoned" and "fairly measured." Much more disturbing to Americans than your ill-conceived letter to the DNC Chairman, should be the fact that these two terms, "delusional" and "outrageous," are actually quite applicable to your actions in shutting down last week's hearing on the so-called "USA Patriot Act."

As Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee you have a real responsibility to examine the varied ramifications of our nat

A-ooh-ga. Oxymoron alert. A-ooh-ga.

On The Nature Of The Outrageous And Delusional

Conclusion...

As Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee you have a real responsibility to examine the varied ramifications of our nation's policies and laws. Rather than engage this responsibility, you chose to hide from the awaiting testimony and obstruct a fair hearing of these destructive laws by simply walking out. Even more incredible is that you walked out while failing to recognize a "Point Of Order" by committee member Rep. Jerrold Nadler!

To ignore your committee's responsibility in the matter of reviewing this law is truly "delusional" in that you are unable to recognize the reality represented in these provisions: that they have caused harm to our system of due process, to our reputation in the world community and, if left unchecked or under-examined, the rather unpatriotic "USA Patriot Act" will very likely continue to do so.

It is at the very least "outrageous" that, rather than inform the people by the functioning of the House Judiciary Committee, you have endeavored to keep the American citizenry uninformed.

Rep. Shirley Jackson-Lee said that she was embarrassed by your committee that day and I'm afraid I must agree.

Shame on you Rep. Sensenbrenner.

Hi Meg!

Oh i don't know about that AO

I tend to like your popping ins.

We had this drummer and his name was Frank

He didn’t play too well, in fact he really stank

Frank was a pretty boy, girls thought he was a
hottie

But he thought he was a woman trapped inside of a man’s body

So Frank went to the doctor, said he needed a change

From a car to a garage in his home down on the range

But they messed up the paperwork to trim his lucky charm

And when he woke from the anesthesia he only had one arm

Frank filed a lawsuit he somehow managed to lose

And we had nothing for him but still more bad news

We told him early while his stub was still sore

“Frank, you’re not in the band anymore.”

Frank was upset, he wanted back in the band

And so he taught himself to drum with one hand

We went to his garage and got together to rehearse

He had really sucked before and now he wasn’t
much worse

So we decided we’d give him another try

When suddenly a chainsaw fell down from the sky

His brother had been playing with it up in the loft

It hit Frank square in the shoulder, cut his other arm right off

We were in the middle of playing a Meatmen song

Suddenly we noticed that the rhythm sounded wrong

We turned around, saw the bloody arm lying on the floor

Then Frank wasn’t in the band anymore

So he tried playing the drums with his feet

It sounded stupid but it really looked neat

But he lost his legs in an accident involving frogs and Tang

That he’s never quite been able to explain

So he tried sticking the drumsticks in his nose

This made the handles all sticky and gross

He talked funny when he played now with a pained nasal lisp

And his drum solos sounded like this

(Drum solo with owing and a dropped drumstick)

Frank: “Dammit…hey, can somebody pick that up?”

Band: “NO!”

When he finally got whiplash from playing with his head

We said “Frank, you’ve got to stop this or else you’ll soon be dead

“We’ve enjoyed our time together, it’s really been fun

“But drummers need extremit

“But drummers need extremities and you don’t have a one”

Frank got real quiet; Frank got real sad

He didn’t speak to us for months; I guess we made him mad

But I’m proud to say this story still has a happy end

He got prosthetic everything and now he’s still our friend

We use him to prop open the door to the shed

And in the wintertime we’ve got the world’s only talking sled

But our new drummer’s name is Yamaha, we got him at the store

Cuz Frank’s not in the band anymore

No, Frank’s not in the band anymore

No, Frank’s not in the band

Anymore

What an arrogant piece of shite. What the hell is Pelosi apologizing for? Did she ask Sensebrenner to apologize or demand an apology from this arrogant Nazi. Demand his resignation, rebuke his authority and request a rules change to prevent this from ever happening again without serious consequences. And I would promise him Revenge.

This man continually insulted the D-members of the Congress insinuating the rules of the meeting limited discussion to the patriot act but when democrat's discussed the discriminatory consequences on the unjust Patriot Act like:

Library's privacy

Arrests and false charges

Racial Profiling

No significant arrests from interrogations

Why isn't this a story in the Papers? I'd like to see Muslims being interviewed from the audience at the congress to learn more about the bigotry going on from this republican Congress.

And where's the outrage from the right Muslims who are watching their rights being trampled and their fellow Americans being falsely profiled.

Why North Korea isn't talking

By An Sang Nam

PYONGYANG - Today, the situation in Northeast Asia surrounding the Korean peninsula is more inflamed than ever before. This causes great concern not only among all the Korean people, but also among people in the region. This urgent situation presses for steps to prevent a new war and ensure the peace and security in the region by concerted efforts of regional countries.

Rising tension

The US's hostile policy against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and its arms buildup constitutes a major factor threatening security in this region. The six-party talks have yet to be resumed and the resolution of the nuclear issue has been delayed. To all intents and purposes, this is the fault of the US.

[--]

Several times, the DPRK put a just demand to the US to change its hostile policy aimed at seeking "regime change" and shift its policy in favor of peaceful co-existence between the DPRK and the US. If the US does this, the nuclear issue can be resolved.

But the second Bush administration, like that of the first term, stipulated as its policy not to co-exist with the DPRK, but to "overturn" the system chosen by the Korean people themselves.

If the same counterproductive, immoral policies continued at other prisons, then the closing of Gitmo would just be an empty PR move (which is why Amnesty is calling for much more than that, it wants independent investigations of the whole system.)

But the fact that Dubya and Rummy feel a need to signal an open-mindedness on what to do with Gitmo, shows that their week-long bashing of Amnesty was a failure.

The attacks on Amnesty kept the story alive. Amnesty took advantage of the media spotlight, attacked right back, raised awareness of the issue and kept the heat on.

Four bombs exploded yesterday morning near government buildings in the south-western oil town of Ahvaz, the capital of the partly Arabic-speaking province of Khuzestan, and the scene of ethnic unrest in April.

Five people were killed. A fifth bomb exploded last night in the capital Tehran, killing at least one person.

What Section 215 of Patriot Act does

* Amends the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to allow the FBI to obtain a court order, without probable cause, from a secret court for the production of "any tangible things for an authorized investigation to protect against terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities."

''Any tangible thing'' can include the books you check out in the library or buy at a bookstore and such information can be obtained without your knowledge.

Section 215 also forbids persons producing such ''tangible things'' from disclosing to anyone that the FBI ever came calling.

House to Vote on Sanders’ Patriot Act Amendment to Protect Americans’ Reading Records

On Tuesday, June 14, the U.S. House will vote on Congressman Bernie Sanders’ amendment to limit Section 215 of the Patriot Act in order to keep the federal government from accessing Americans’ reading records without a traditional search warrant. The amendment has the support of a large bipartisan coalition that believes that Section 215 obstructs Americans’ constitutionally guaranteed right to read and access information without governmental intrusion or monitoring.

Sanders said, “We must do all we can to fight terrorism in this country but it is critical that we do this without undermining the basic constitutional rights that makes us a free country. American citizens from across the political spectrum have made it clear that they do not want the government monitoring their reading habits. This amendment will make sure that their voices are being heard.”

Howard Dean Speaks For Me

http://www.petitiononline.com/Dean/petition.html

7899 Total Signatures

Umberto Eco, Italian novelist, has his own list-o-fourteen.

Some highlights:

----------

4. The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism.

In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.

For Ur-Fascism, disagreement is treason.

5. Besides, disagreement is a sign of diversity.

Ur-Fascism grows up and seeks consensus by exploiting and exacerbating the natural fear of difference. The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.

[the fount of most of the mischief: "you're either with us, or you're with the terrorists" -- thus, any criticism of the bush admin places you "on the other side", i.e. a euphemism for traitorous, or "objectively pro-Saddam" in passive-aggressive wingnut-speak]

6. Ur-Fascism derives from individual or social frustration.

That is why one of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups. In our time, when the old “proletarians” are becoming petty bourgeois (and the lumpen are largely excluded from the political scene), the fascism of tomorrow will find its audience in this new majority.

7. To people who feel deprived of a clear social identity, Ur-Fascism says that their only privilege is the most common one, to be born in the same country.

This is the origin of nationalism. Besides, the only ones who can provide an identity to the nation are its enemies. Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.

The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia. But the plot must also come from the inside: Jews are usually the best target because they have the advantage of being at the same time insid

PINK FLOYD IS REUNITING!!!

Classic Pink Floyd Lineup to Play Live 8

By Associated Press

LONDON --
Organizers of the London Live 8 concert said Sunday that the British rock band Pink Floyd would perform with its classic lineup at the July event for the first time in more than two decades.

Guitarist David Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason, bass player Roger Waters and keyboard player Richard Wright have not performed on stage together since 1981.

The group, which achieved major success with their 1973 album "Dark Side Of The Moon," will join musical acts including Elton John, Madonna, Paul McCartney and Coldplay at the anti-poverty concert in Hyde Park on July 2.

"Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G-8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world," Gilmour said.

"It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations."

Waters, the group's founder, split with the rest of the band after a falling-out in the 1980s.

"Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention then it's going to be worthwhile," Gilmour said.

3. Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action's sake.

Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation. Therefore culture is suspect insofar as it is identified with critical attitudes. Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-Fascism, from Hermann Goering's fondness for a phrase from a Hanns Johst play ("When I hear the word 'culture' I reach for my gun") to the frequent use of such expressions as "degenerate intellectuals," "eggheads," "effete snobs," and "universities are nests of reds." The official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional values.

US environmental policy chief quits

by Gary Younge in New York

Monday June 13, 2005

The Guardian

A former oil industry lobbyist has resigned as a White House aide after being accused of doctoring official US policy papers on global warming to play down the link between greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.

Philip Cooney, who was chief of staff of the White House council on environmental quality, quit his job two days after a report released by a watchdog group, the government accountability project, showed he had deleted some paragraphs and edited others drafted by government scientists.

The White House said his departure was "completely unrelated" to last week's disclosure.

When Deb Foster died in a San Diego hospital, she found herself on a stairway surrounded by cats and dogs and mesmerized by a celestial blue sky, the likes of which she had never seen on Earth.

When it was Mary Clare Schlesinger's turn, she hovered above her bed in the intensive-care unit, watching her husband and daughter react in shock and fathomless grief at the thought of her passing.

Beverly Brodsky said she went on a spectacular journey through a tunnel of intense light, a magic ride with angels and a shapeless God to a place of perfect knowledge, wisdom, truth and justice.

All three said the journeys on which they embarked while "clinically dead," a period of a few moments when their hearts stopped, transformed their lives and left them with no fear of death.

They are not alone.

RAGE AT AUTHOR AFTER CLAIM: BILL RAPED HILLARY, CONCEIVED CHELSEA

**Exclusive**

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton turned furious and considered legal action after learning bestselling author Ed Klein would allege in a new book: Bill Clinton raped her -- resulting in the conception of daughter Chelsea Clinton!

"[Author] Klein is going to rot in hell for this," a well-placed source close to Hillary said over the weekend.

"I'm going back to my cottage to rape my wife," Klein quotes Bill Clinton as saying during a Bermuda getaway in 1979.

In the morning, the Clintons' room "looked like World War III. There are pillows and busted-up furniture all over the place," an unnamed source tells Klein.

Klein source claims Bill later learned Hillary was pregnant reading about it in the ARKANSAS GAZETTE.

"The fact that his wife didn't tell him that she was pregnant before she told a reporter doesn't seem to phase him one bit, because he says, 'Do you know what night that happened?"

"'No,' I say. 'When?"

"'It was Bermuda,' he says, 'And you were there!'"

The former first lady turned senator fumed as a close aide offered details of the book, an insider explains.

"Mrs. Clinton told me she would considering suing him for outright libel," the top Hillary source explains. "This is the right wing attack machine on crack!"

But Hillary and her camp may have a hard time typecasting Ed Klein as a Clinton-crazed right-winger. Klein is the former foreign editor of NEWSWEEK and former editor in chief of the NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE. He is a frequent contributor to VANITY FAIR and PARADE.

Chinese oil firm vs. Chevron to gain Unocal

New York Times News Service 06/12/2005

BEIJING -- A leading Chinese oil producer, CNOOC, is considering making a competing bid to Chevron's $16.4 billion offer for Unocal, as soaring demand puts pressure on China to find new oil supplies.

Blogging is addictive....but I kicked my cigarette habit, though.

One vice replaces the other.

Or will Hillary agree with the book in order to look more moderate and centrist?

California Attorney General Lockyer Hails Gasoline Patents Deal Between Federal Trade Commission and Unocal

Under the agreement – which clears the way for FTC approval of Chevron’s proposed acquisition of Unocal – Unocal will stop enforcing its disputed patents on the reformulated gasoline. Unocal also will drop pending patent infringement lawsuits, including actions against Arco and Valero in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Additionally, within 30 days of the acquisition’s effective date, Unocal will abandon any claim to the remaining term of the patents.

Unocal obtained the patents in 1990. At the time, the Air Resources Board (ARB) was working to adopt a gasoline formulation to help California meet its clean air standards. Unocal participated in that process, along with other oil companies and auto manufacturers. Unocal steered the ARB to its formula, without informing the ARB it had obtained the patents, and allegedly misrepresenting to the ARB that its research was in the public domain. In 1991, the ARB adopted a standard that meshed with Unocal’s patented product.

The development placed Unocal in the position of being able to collect royalty payments from oil refiners. The other companies, in turn, could seek to recoup their costs by charging drivers higher prices for gasoline. The FTC estimated the potential pass-through cost to drivers at more than $500 million annually.

The FTC filed an administrative complaint that alleged Unocal had unlawfully obtained monopoly power in California’s reformulated gasoline market. Representing the ARB, Lockyer sided with the FTC, and assisted the FTC in prosecuting the case. He also led a bipartisan, multi-state effort to prevent Unocal from enforcing the patents.

Iran Crisis Casts Shadow Over All Three Pipeline Projects in South Asia

By M B Naqvi

KARACHI, June 13: South Asia has decided to enter the Big League nations’ struggle to secure oil (and gas) supplies that are not (yet) under the sole superpower’s control.

The rate at which the US is acquiring control over the vast deposits of hydrocarbons (oil and gas) in former Soviet Central Asian Republics was highlighted by the recent commissioning of a new oil pipeline to take oil from Caucasus directly to Europe, bypassing the two older Russian-controlled pipelines: one in the north directly from Russia to Europe and the second from Baku to Turkey through Black Sea and busy Straits of Bosphorous. Needless to say all of ME oil is under tight US control, except that of Iran.

India, with a rapidly expanding economy, is anxious to conclude an agreement with Iran for assured gas supplies through an overland pipeline through Pakistan. The idea of this gas pipeline originated in Iran for both political and commercial reasons. Its background is that serious 25 years old rift with the US, with the latter trying to isolate Iran, a named member of Bush’s Axis of Evil. Both India and Pakistan responded positively to the Iranian idea; indeed Pakistan showed keenness to join the project, hoping for transit fees it could charge.

Pakistan and India initially seemed not to have taken the American opposition to the project into their calculations. It emerged into full view last March when US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice termed the project as ‘not a good idea for Pakistan’.

Howard Dean Speaks For Me

Gawd. this is the most painfull Steve earle show..

eeeckk...

can we go straight to BB king part.

The bodies of 20 people, bound and shot in the head, have been found on a military firing range in the eastern suburbs of Baghdad.

A police source said on Sunday that the victims' identities are unclear and the bodies appeared to have been there for some time.

They were found on Friday and are now in a Baghdad mortuary, another police officer said.

A leading Sunni organisation, the Association of Muslim Scholars, issued a statement on Sunday, however, saying that 30 bodies had been found at the firing range.

It said one body was identified as belonging to a Sunni Arab, but it gave no details.

In a separate find in Baghdad, three bodies were found with their hands tied to behind their backs. No further details are as yet available.

Dean calls republicans hypocritical for courting black voters

Howard Dean isn't backing off one bit after the recent criticisms. Look at what Dean was up to today at a Rainbow PUSH Coalition conference held in Chicago:

Until President Bush and top Republicans reaffirm their support for the Voting Rights Act, they should stop courting black voters and showing up in black churches, Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean said Sunday.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/12/213926/875

SNAP!!! YAY DEan...

HoHo

Dean:

"My view is FOX News is a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party and I don't comment on FOX News," Dean said. That was in response to vice president Dick Cheney calling Howard Dean "over the top" on Fox News on Sunday.

This is exactly right and it's something not enough Democrats understand and not enough people in the media in acknowledge. The problem with Fox is not that it's conservative, the problem with Fox is that it is, as some guy just said, "a propaganda outlet for the Republican Party." There is no equivalent media outlet for Democrats. None.

A pro-Iraq war US congressman who campaigned for French fries to be renamed "freedom fries" is now calling for US troops to return home from Iraq.

Republican Representative Walter Jones is to introduce legislation demanding a timetable for the withdrawal.

The renaming of fries in Capitol Hill's cafeterias in March 2003 expressed disapproval among some US lawmakers with France's opposition to the war.

French toast was also re-branded "freedom toast".

"I voted for the resolution to commit the troops, and I feel that we've done about as much as we can do," Mr Jones said on US network ABC.

I just feel that the reason of going in for weapons of mass destruction, the ability of the Iraqis to make a nuclear weapon, that's all been proven that it was never there
Representative Walter Jones

"I just feel that the reason of going in for weapons of mass destruction, the ability of the Iraqis to make a nuclear weapon, that's all been proven that it was never there."

He said his change of heart about the war came after he attended the funeral of a US sergeant killed in Nasiriya, Iraq, in April 2003. Mr Jones said he was moved by the soldier's widow who read out her husband's last letter.

Up to a quarter of the world's monkeys will not survive another two decades, according to a new report on endangered primates.

It's a shock warning about a species that until today has never faced a single threat of extinction.

"Relentlessly hunted for their meat and fur, bodies broken for dubious medicines, shot for stealing crops, no primate is entirely free from danger.

"No primate has gone extinct in all the 20th century but bare survival should not deceive us, their luck is almost spent. As many as one quarter of today's primates will be dead in 20 years," says John Aguair of Conservation International and one of the authors of the report, Primates in Peril.

Brazil has the largest number of primates found on the planet - 103 of a total 625 - and three on the list of the 25 most endangered primates referenced in the report are found just in the Atlantic forest bio-region.

The physicist John Bell showed that if two photons or two electrons are separated, no matter by how far, they are still actively connected to each other, and that their connection is both direct and instantaneous, without the need for any mechanical intermediary between them. A change in one creates a simultaneous change in the other. His theory of non-locality posited that on the level of the “exuberant, complex tangle” of the universe, everything is in continuous contact with everything else and nothing is separate from the whole. This is what anthropologists call “contagious magic”.

................................

John Bell proposed an experiment that could measure if a given elementary particle could communicate with another elementary particle farther away faster than any light could have traveled between them. In 1984 a team led by Alain Aspect in Paris did this experiment and indeed, this was undeniably the apparent result

John Bell’s formulation of the fundamental ideas in this experiment have been called Bell’s Theorem and can be stated most succinctly in his own words; Reality is non-local. In other words, not only do the elementary particles that make up the things we see around us not exist until they are observed (Copenhagen Interpretation), but they are not, at the most essential level, even identifiably separable from other such particles arbitrarily far away.

John Muir, the 19th Century naturalist once said, “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe”.

Well he might have been surprised how literally -- in physics as well as in ecology -- this turned out to be true.

Meditating monks are giving clues about how the brain's basic responses can be overridden, researchers say.

Australian scientists gave Buddhist monks vision tests, where each eye was concurrently shown a different image.

Most people's attention would automatically fluctuate - but the monks were able to focus on just one image.

Writing in Current Biology, the scientists say their ability to override this basic mental response indicates how the brain can be trained.

Researchers from the University of Queensland and the University of California, Berkley, studied 76 Tibetan Buddhist monks at mountain retreats in India.

The monks had undergone between five and 54 years of meditative training.

In the tests, they were given special goggles that meant they could see a different image with each eye.

Normally, the brain would rapidly alternate between both - termed perceptual or visual rivalry.

It had been thought that this was a basic and involuntary response.

pssssstttt...it's really not that bad. but good luck with the losing sleep over it bit.

[The] Anglo-Saxon word wyrd has about it a sense of haunting doom that is recaptured in Shakespeare’s three Weird Sisters. These are transformations into witches of the Norns of old Germanic myth, who (as described in the Old Norse “Wise Woman’s Prophecy,” Völuspó) dwell by Urth’s well, from which they water the roots of the World Ash. Shakespeare’s trio, on a “desert heath,” amid thunder, lightening, and rain, conjure from their witches’ cauldron prophecies that are heard as though from outside by Macbeth, yet are of deeds already maturing in his heart. In Old Norse the Norns’ three names are given as Urth, Verthandi, and Skuld: “Become, Becoming, and Shall Be,” Past, Present, and Future, which appear to be a late invention, however, inspired perhaps (twelfth century A.D.?) by the model of the Greek three Graces. For there seems to have been originally but one Norn: called Urth in Old Norse, in Old High German Wurd, and in Anglo-Saxon Wyrd. The word may be related to the German werden, “to become, to grow,” which would suggest a sense of inward inherent destiny. … Another association is with the Old High German wirt, wirtel, “spindle,” by which the idea is suggested of a spinning and weaving of destiny. The classical triad of the Moirai may have contributed to this image; namely of Clotho, the “Spinner,” who spins the life thread; Lachesis, “Disposer of Lots,” determining its length; and Atropos, “Inflexible,” who cuts it. And so the symbol of the spindle became significant of destiny, and the woven web, of life.

Cheney...yeah, he's never been melodramatic.

"Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger." — Hermann Goering, Nazi leader, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II

night peeps I have to go pay bills.

Dick Cheney is talking about Howard Deans mama...

Can this be real?

If the apocalypse comes beep me.

3. Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action's sake.

Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation. Therefore culture is suspect insofar as it is identified with critical attitudes. Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-Fascism, from Hermann Goering's fondness for a phrase from a Hanns Johst play ("When I hear the word 'culture' I reach for my gun") to the frequent use of such expressions as "degenerate intellectuals," "eggheads," "effete snobs," and "universities are nests of reds." The official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional values.

Suggestion:
Keep a "Fascism Journal." Every time you see/read/hear anything fascist, write it down.

You will fill your journal quickly. But you will begin to feel a sense of control. You will also feel comprehensive insight into the scope and scale of what is happening.

Finally, you will ultimately ask yourself this question: Am I going to spend my next 70 years fighting for the 71st year, when sanity is restored? How long will the Era Of Neocon Fascism last? Why do healthy people refuse to sink past a certain level? Why do healthy people refuse to waste the next 50 years of their precious lives fighting to save a dumbed-down America? Will I remain a hostage? Why do Americans hate to confront the unthinkable?

are you watching Into The West?

I saw the first episode of Into the West. Loved it. Except for that whole buffalo hunting scene, which was very well done and overwhelming and made me cover my eyes.

I won't be able to watch the rest of the series since I don't have cable.

Looks like an authentic depiction of the old west, Meg. It's not very long ago in the whole scheme of things. Amazing how the white man has "progressed".

Hey EB, I just went to a screenwriter's conference last week and several of the writers were there. They were pretty interesting. One of them was talking about how he almost withdrew his name from the project because he couldn't come up with a link between the native/settler families. The night before he was going to meet with the producers and quit the project, he dreamed the thing about the wagon wheel/medicine wheel.

That's how I saw the first episode, they had a preview at the conference.

Cheney Says No to Closing Prison

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/13/politics/13cheney.html

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: June 13, 2005

WASHINGTON, June 12 (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney says there are no plans to close the American prison at Guantánamo Bay.

"The important thing here to understand is that the people that are at Guantánamo are bad people," he said in an interview to be broadcast Monday on "Hannity and Colmes" on the Fox News Channel. Mr. Cheney's remarks were provided by Fox.

"I mean, these are terrorists for the most part," Mr. Cheney said. "These are people that were captured in the battlefield of Afghanistan or rounded up as part of the Al Qaeda network."

Human rights advocates and some lawmakers are pressing for the closing of the prison because of accusations of torture and abuse of detainees. President Bush has said his administration is "exploring all alternatives" for detaining the prisoners.

The prison in Cuba holds about 525 people. Some have been there more than three years without being charged with any crime. Most were captured on the battlefields of Afghanistan in 2001 and 2002.

Senator Chuck Hagel, Republican of Nebraska, said Sunday that the United States was "losing the image war around the world" and that Guantánamo was one reason.

"It's identifiable with, for right or wrong, a part of America that people in the world believe is a power, an empire that pushes people around, we do it our way, we don't live up to our commitments to multilateral institutions," Mr. Hagel said on "Late Edition" on CNN.

The Senate Judiciary Committee plans a hearing Wednesday on the issue of detainees. The top Democrat on the committee, Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, said on "Face the Nation" on CBS: "We're the country that tells people that we adhere to the rule of law. We want other countries to adhere to the rule of law. And in Guantánamo, we are not."

THE Patriot Act - brilliant! Its critics would have preferred a less stirring title, perhaps something along the lines of the Enhanced Snooping, Library and Hospital Database Seizure Act. But then who, even right after 9/11, would have voted for that?

Precisely. He who names it and frames it, claims it. The Patriot Act, however, may turn out to be among the lesser threats to our individual and collective privacy.

The State Department plans to use radio frequency identification technology in all new American passports by the end of 2005. The department wants to be sure that we all move through immigration quickly and efficiently when we return from overseas. Privacy advocates have suggested that hackers could tap into the information stored on these tags, or that terrorists might be able to use them to pinpoint American tourists in a crowd. The State Department assures us that both concerns are unfounded, and that it will allow privacy advocates to review test results this summer.

U.S. Urged to Release Guantanamo Minors

MICHELLE FAUL Associated Press Wed, Apr. 23, 2003 Sunherald

http://www.sunherald.com/mld/sunherald/news/politics/5692268.htm?template=contentModules/printstory.jsp

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -Amnesty International urged the United States on Wednesday to release or charge three minors who are being held in the U.S. detention camp for terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The military has not provided exact ages, confirming only that the three are 16 years old or younger. They are among about 660 detainees from 42 countries held on suspicion of links to al-Qaida terrorist network or the ousted Afghan Taliban regime.

"The detention of children in these circumstances is particularly repugnant and flouts basic principles for the protection of children under international law," William F. Schulz, executive director of Amnesty International USA, said in a statement.

The group called on the U.S. military to either release them or file formal charges and transfer them to a juvenile detention facility.

The youths are in a "communal setting" separate from adult detainees' individual cells, but all were "captured as active combatants against U.S. forces" and are considered enemy combatants, said Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, chief spokesman for the Guantanamo mission.

"We are treating them differently ... because as juveniles we recognize they have special needs," he said.

Johnson would not give ages or say how many there were, only "very few." However an official at the camp who spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday said there were three of them.

Schulz said reports the youths were being interrogated were especially disturbing.

Johnson said juveniles are being held because "they have potential to provide important information in the ongoing war on terrorism."

He said they, like other detainees, could be released if it is determined they no longer pose a threat.

Johnson said all the juveniles had arrived at Guantanamo since Jan. 1. The camp received

Human rights groups long have criticized the United States for holding the detainees without charge and interrogating them while they are not allowed access to lawyers.

Johnson said officials determined some detainees were 16 and younger during medical and other screenings after their arrival.

In September, Canadian officials reported that a 15-year-old Canadian was captured on July 27 after being badly wounded in a firefight in eastern Afghanistan. Prime Minister Jean Chretien said he was seeking consular access to the youth.

Last week, Toronto's Globe and Mail newspaper reported that the youth, now 16, is being held in Guantanamo and that U.S. officials have refused

Ten-Hut! - The Army's Bungling Recruitment ,By Don Edwards - Sunday, June 12, 2005

Excerpt -

Nearly every day, anywhere from one to several U.S. soldiers or Marines die in Iraq, and even more are wounded. The news doesn't always make the front pages anymore, but the casualty rate has apparently registered deeply in the consciousness of young Americans and their families. The result is a dangerous decline in new enlistments that is depleting U.S. military resources and weakening our capacity to face additional conflicts or threats from abroad.

I decided I'm not too old to learn guitar. I may even pay someone for a lesson.

I first met KP when he dragged a biker named Birdman to my boat building shop in Queen Charlotte with a broken shovel head chopper. We fixed it, Birdman is a good friend now, and I met what was to become one of my closest friends for the first time.

KP was a director for the Regional District covering Prince Rupert and the Queen Charlotte Islands at the time. When I met him I mentioned my experience as a troller, working on fishery enhancement and as a representative for the Troll Fishermen's Co Op in Oregon in the 80's. KP had a troller during that period also and realized that many of the problems were political so we began a discussion on political insanity that was ongoing on a nearly daily basis until his passing.

Talking with KP was always a treat for me. He was one of those rare people who believed that what one did in political office should not be linked with personal benefits or to any of the 'isms' (racism etc.) He scorned political “leaders” who didn’t pay attention to their constituents, and in that light, considered that what we really needed was political “followers” who would actually do what their constituents wanted. He could come up with countless examples that proved his point, all of them liberally laced with humor and satire by his witty presentation. KP was an effective debater well armed by that amazing memory of his.

KP had previous experience with computers so when I started working with windows and linux he was one of my most valuable tutors and a fellow explorer of the net.

Jim... Noted that

I think Im starting with Neil Young coz you know, it's like three cords

He was a loving father, the father of nine children, who was entertained much more often than upset by his kids. He loved to talk about them and was extremely proud of them. He was a heart attack victim with a bypass that left him permanently disabled. He was a Biker and had a dandy Sportster that he bought 2 weeks after his operation and rode to Queen Charlotte. He was an organizer of the Queen Charlotte Poker Run. The first bike run to the Queen Charlottes. He was an elected, compassionate and honest representative of his community, and the only white man I’ve ever known to be put up by band members to run in a native election. He was an outstanding novel, screenplay and website author and researcher.

Ah but as a freind he really shined. He was a large man about six foot tall and when I met him and about four foot around. He had a marvelous rich voice that he used effectively in, as he called them, his rants. He thought of himself in terms of philosophy as an aspiring Sufi but, as he said many times in our conversations, "When the Master dies, the Teaching dies and what you have left is a political organization." He was a brilliant thinker, a pragmatic realist. He was curious, open-minded and often caustic in his humor, but I never saw him take a cheap shot.

I'm going up to the spirit in the sky.

That's where I'm gonna go when I die.

This Story Gets Better Every Day

Bush snubs Crowe, but not porn star
Actor's arrest cost him dinner date, but actress' bust doesn't scare GOP

WASHINGTON – Russell Crowe's phone-throwing tantrum at a New York hotel cost him a dinner date with President Bush and a sleepover at the White House.

But a bust two weeks ago of a XXX-rated porn star so far hasn't deterred the president from plans to speak before a GOP congressional fund-raiser Tuesday with her and her pornographer boss among the invited guests.

Crowe, 41, the Australian star of "Gladiator" and "Master and Commander," had been invited to dine with the president and host a private screening of his new film, "Cinderella Man," about a boxer, before spending the night at the White House.

But his antics in the Mercer Hotel foyer last Monday morning had White House officials on the phone to cancel the engagement.

Officially, Crowe canceled the arrangements himself as a courtesy measure to save President and Mrs. Bush, Laura, any embarrassment. A White House spokesman cited "scheduling problems" for the cancellation.

Crowe allegedly hurled his room's cordless Panasonic phone at concierge Nestor "Josh" Estrada after being unable to get through to his wife, Danielle Spencer, in Australia. The phone was described in the New York police charge sheet as a "dangerous and deadly instrument." He faces up to eight years for the alleged assault, for which he has apologized.

The cancellation of the get-together, however, is a stark contrast to the president's continuing controversial plans to permit porn star Mary Carey and her pornographer boss, Mark Kulkis, to attend a $2,500-a-plate fund-raiser for the National Republican Congressional Committee this week.

The 24-year-old XXX-rated actress will accompany her boss, president of Kick A-- Pictures, at "The 2005 President's Dinner and Salute to Freedom."

The idea of the president of the United States publicly rubbing elbows with pornographers and accepting money from them is shocking to some, including Rev. Don Wildmon, chairman of the American Fam

Prewar British Memo Says War Decision Wasn't Made
- By DAVID E. SANGER - Published: June 13, 2005

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/13/politics/13downing.html

Excerpt -

"WASHINGTON, June 12 - A memorandum written by Prime Minister Tony Blair's cabinet office in late July 2002 explicitly states that the Bush administration had made "no political decisions" to invade Iraq, but that American military planning for the possibility was advanced. The memo also said American planning, in the eyes of Mr. Blair's aides, was "virtually silent" on the problems of a postwar occupation."

How many documents are there?

Have any of them been authenticated?

It appears this report contradicts the earlier "Downing Street Memo." The assertion in the July 23, 2002 memo/minutes: "that it was “necessary to create the conditions” which would make regime change in Iraq legal."

In light of the release of the July 23, 2002 DSM is the lastest "release" part of a disinformation campaign?

Interest grows in solving cryptic CIA puzzle after link to Da Vinci Code

The Kryptos sculpture incorporates a coded message made up of thousands of letters punched through a nearly 4 meter (12ft) high copper scroll.

Though it was installed where only CIA agents and cryptographers could see it, amateur code-breakers have worked away on transcripts posted on the CIA's website.

Three-quarters of the code has been broken, and the deciphered message so far appears to point to something momentous buried on CIA grounds.

But the clues are obscure and the fourth passage of the Kryptos code - known as K4 to the addicted - has remained impenetrable.

However, Elonka Dunin, who runs the most comprehensive website on Kryptos (www.elonka.com/kryptos) said recent activity has surged.

US acts over Israeli arms sales to China

Conal Urquhart in Tel Aviv

Monday June 13, 2005

The Guardian

The United States has imposed sanctions on Israel after a dispute over Israel's sale of drones - unmanned aerial vehicles - to China, according to news reports.

The US has suspended co-operation on several development projects and frozen delivery of night-vision equipment.

An official at the US embassy in Tel Aviv said he was aware of the reports but would not comment on them. He said the information about the sanctions had come from the Israeli government and not the US.

The sanctions have been in place for at least three months and were approved by Donald Rumsfeld, the defence secretary, and Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state, seven months ago, according to the reports.

Night Thoughts

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

..............................

Stars, you are unfortunate, I pity you,

Beautiful as you are, shining in your glory,

Who guide seafaring men through stress and peril

And have no recompense from gods or mortals,

Love you do not, nor do you know what love is.

Hours that are aeons urgently conducting

Your figures in a dance through the vast heaven,

What journey have you ended in this moment,

Since lingering in the arms of my beloved

I lost all memory of you and midnight.

...............................

All of me

Why not take all of me

Can't you see

I'm no good without you

who are you?

what are you?

where are you going?

what do you want?

I love you for sentimental reasons

And the sunlight clasps the earth,

And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--

What are all these kissings worth,

If thou kiss not me?

- Percy Bysshe Shelley

And I know that I'm

No good without you....

It had to be you, it had to be you

I wandered around, and finally found

The somebody who

Kiss like an angel?!

On November 11 more than forty top Hollywood executives met for two hours with Karl Rove, George W. Bush’s chief political advisor, to discuss ways in which the film industry could contribute to the “war on terrorism.” Here truly was a meeting of great minds!

Present were some of the most powerful figures in the motion picture industry and corporate figures whose holdings include entertainment companies, such as billionaire Sumner Redstone of Viacom Inc. (which owns Paramount, CBS and UPN). All the major studios were represented—Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, Universal Studios, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and DreamWorks SKG—as were the US television networks—ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, UPN and WB—and the film industry unions.

During the two-hour meeting at the lavish Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, Rove reportedly outlined seven themes: that the US campaign in Afghanistan is a war against terrorism, not Islam; the government’s call for “community service” should be publicized; US troops and their families need to be supported; the September 11 attacks were global attacks requiring a global response; the US campaign is a “war on evil”; the government and the film industry have the responsibility to reassure children of their safety; propaganda should be avoided.

After the meeting, following up on the last point, everyone involved hastened to assert that the Bush administration was not attempting to dictate in any fashion the content of Hollywood’s films. “The industry decides what it will do and when it will do it,” Rove told reporters. Apparently lost on the media commentators was the obvious redundancy of reassurances that the government would not impose its views in an arena where its policies find absolutely no opposition.

Rove did not elaborate on how filmmakers should grapple with the problem of a “war on evil.” He left that task to the creative minds at the film studios’ disposal. Nor did he explain how children (or anyone else) were to be made to feel safe when the government promises to conduct a war of indefinite length and scope using the entire leth

Rove did not elaborate on how filmmakers should grapple with the problem of a “war on evil.” He left that task to the creative minds at the film studios’ disposal. Nor did he explain how children (or anyone else) were to be made to feel safe when the government promises to conduct a war of indefinite length and scope using the entire lethal arsenal of modern weaponry against enemies it defines as it goes along.

After a previous meeting on October 17 between lower-level Bush administration figures and Hollywood executives, right-wing producer Lionel Chetwynd commented, “There was a feeling around the table that something is wrong if half the world thinks we’re the Great Satan, and we want to make that right. There’s a genuine feeling that we as Americans are failing to get our message across to the world.” That the US is seen as an oppressor by “half the world” is a remarkable admission and a reality that is not likely to be cleared up by a round of public service announcements.

The film studio executives assembled on November 11 responded enthusiastically to Rove’s appeal. Sherry Lansing, Paramount Pictures chairwoman, told the media following the meeting, “All of us have this incredible need, this incredible urge to do something.”

From the point of view of the film studio executives, as Jon Friedman of CBS.MarketWatch.com put it, the “big challenge now is figuring out how it can look like a do-gooder [i.e., toe the Bush line politically] while it actually focuses on its ongoing obsession: making money.” Tom Pollock, former vice chairman of MCA, bluntly told a panel at the recent New York Film Festival: “We live in a capitalist society, and what motivates the studios is making money.”

Yeah!

Lika motherfucking angel!

Administration officials said Mr. Bush had taken office determined to adopt a more aggressive approach toward Iraq. Bush Disputes Ex-Official's Claim That Iraq War Was Early Goal - By RICHARD W. STEVENSON The New York Times January 13, 2004

Paul Oneill said as much. He referred to meetings where plans were being made to divide Iraq's oil fields, referring to maps, etc.

“From the very beginning, there was a conviction, that Saddam Hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go,” says O’Neill, who adds that going after Saddam was topic "A" 10 days after the inauguration - eight months before Sept. 11.

“From the very first instance, it was about Iraq. It was about what we can do to change this regime,” says Suskind. “Day one, these things were laid and sealed.”

Now a memo supposedly written by Tony Blair's cabinet office in late July 2002 appears explicitly stating that the Bush administration had made "no political decisions" to invade Iraq, but that American military planning for the possibility was advanced.

Some Iraq Analysts Felt Pressure From Cheney Visits

Vice President Cheney and his most senior aide made multiple trips to the CIA over the past year to question analysts studying Iraq's weapons programs and alleged links to al Qaeda, creating an environment in which some analysts felt they were being pressured to make their assessments fit with the Bush administration's policy objectives, according to senior intelligence officials
