damn. missed it again.

happy friday.

Regarding that Gay bomb thing. Can you imagine the conversation on the road to creating it?

"What would be worse, having your flesh melt off you or having sex with a man?"
Oh definatly having sex with a man.
So we are agreed, less work on death flesh melting goo and more on the gay bomb.

Wow! Talk about homophobia!

Now to listen on the West Coast feed...

I am very fond of Mr. Crowley. However, Air America's news is nothing but copy from the mainstream.

Oh God!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. animal has tested positive for mad cow disease and additional tests will have to be done at a British laboratory to confirm the results, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said on Friday.

The meat of the animal that tested positive did not get into the food or feed chain, Johanns said. "There just is no risk whatsoever," he told reporters.

Why doesn't Malloy have a blog?

Posted by: Anonymous at June 10, 2005 10:42 PM

he has his own forum from way back before he is joining AAR. All in all he is not terribly blog friendly. (he hangs out with the DU crowd tho')

Too bad, I like his passion, but his message board is a mess.

Dubya returned to the scene of the crime in Ohio yesterday. As you know, his visits are kept quiet until the last minute. This of course so protesters will not have time to plan demonstrations. This time the media was not informed until the last minute either. But demonstrators found out.

There is an article about Dubya's visit on a blog called The Prissy Patriot. It is a blog written by a Mom that has a Son in Iraq- and a daughter in Qatar. As you know, 5 Marines were killed today. If you can stop by her blog and offer some words of encouragement.

The United States does have tools to foster change in other countries, including diplomacy and economic assistance and trade, but the military is suited to fighting wars, he said, not to providing police services and establishing a civil society.

"Our nation embarks on an especially perilous course when it proactively engages in some regions of the world with the intention of achieving a government based on our values," Deutch said. "It is one matter to adopt a foreign policy that encourages democratic values and institutions in other parts of the world. It is quite another matter to believe it just or practical to achieve such results on the ground with U.S. military forces."

Officer runs over hit-and-run victim

Updated: 6/10/2005 7:38 AM
By: Associated Press and Adam Shub, News 14 Carolina

WATCH THE VIDEO

GASTONIA, N.C. -- A police officer responding to a hit-and-run call accidentally ran over the victim with his patrol cruiser Thursday.

The victim, 22-year-old Kenneth Bishop, was dead, but investigators are not yet sure if he was dead before he was run over by the police cruiser, said Capt. Tony Robinson of the Gaston County Sheriff's Department. Bishop, a resident of Maiden, N.C., had suffered severe head injuries.

Listening to the replay on the West Coast here, Janeane said something that caught my ear.

Why don't we say 'anti-choice' more? Not pro-life. Their narrow-sightedness obviously disqualifies them from that label. They're pro-death, pro-war, and anti-choice.

Screw their terms. We can only win on ours.

Extraterrestrial UFO influence, effect of polar reversal or military experiment in Mexican Volcano?

India Daily Technology Team
Jun. 10, 2005

Something strange is happening in a Mexican hot spot. Mexico's Volcano of Fire, located on the border of Colima and Jalisco states about 300 miles west of Mexico City, is showing signs of activity not seen in two decades of monitoring, Mexican volcano scientists warned on June 9 in San Marcos, Mexico. The volcano has erupted six times in the last three weeks. The most recent eruption June 6 expelled lava and ash more than two miles into the sky. Nearby communities have been evacuated. Mexican officials are concerned the volcano could explode, spewing ash for hundreds of miles.

Similar strange volcanoes erupted in Andaman-Nicobar in India. The eruptions have similarities.

What is really strange is the periodic harmonic tremor. According to some scientists the tectonic activities may have been triggered artificially. One possibility is that the hot spot of active volcano is disturbed by some extraterrestrial experiments controlled by aliens. Mexico recently has reported excessive sightings of UFOs. The other alternative can be that some kind of military experimentation is going on there.

Hiya, Muck4doo. I have been kinda tickled that you are a member of the LP now. :)

I was one for twenty-years+ but then my local went to a weird place...

I'm thinking of re-upping now. Just because the local stinks doesn't mean I should throw the baby out with the bathwater.

So would murder be a consensual crime if that SOB was asking for it?

"weve got purdy good locals heer cat. :)"

That made me feel good, reading your experience with your local peeps. That's what's making me feel like going back.

We had a bad time for a while. The state GOP noticed that they were bleeding votes to the LP. We suddenly got a buncha new peeps who loved Big Brother. Yikes! I should have stuck around and refuted them, but I was being a wimp.

Republicans Threaten to Cut UN Funding
Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers are once again threatening to cut US funding of the United Nations. The International Relations Committee of the House of Representatives this week approved a sweeping bill that, if passed, would require Washington to withhold funds if the UN does not alter several of its policies. The bill would require the U.N. to fund most of its programs through voluntary contributions, rather than mandatory dues from its 191 member-states, and enable Washington to pick and choose those programs it wished to fund. It would also require the U.N. to set up a number of new oversight boards to investigate the U.N. bureaucracy and specific agencies, as well as adopt new rules that would bar government's Washington opposes from serving on the U.N. Human Rights Commission. It would also withhold U.S. support for new or expanded U.N. peacekeeping operations until specific reforms are implemented. Failure to implement any of the specific mandates would result in the withholding of half of the assessed U.S. obligations which amounted to 438 million dollars this year. The bill is expected to be introduced to the full house next week.

Prague, 10 June 2005 (RFE/RL) -- A leading Kyrgyz parliamentarian, Zhirgalbek Surabaldiev, has been shot dead in Bishkek. The assassination today comes a month before the country is to hold presidential elections in the wake of the ouster of former President Askar Akaev in late March.
Unknown people opened fire on Surabaldiev's vehicle in the center of Bishkek at around 1:30 p.m. local time.

A team from Reuters reached the shooting site in time to record an ambulance arriving and a medical team rushing to help the victims. Surabaldiev was dead but his unidentified driver was alive despite injuries.

Surabaldiev was the head of a grouping of businessmen called the "Union of Entrepreneurs -- New Step" and was elected to the Kyrgyz parliament in February. He owned the country's second biggest second-hand car market, a significant business operation.

Kyrgyz, Russian Officials Mull Military Base Possibility in Southern Kyrgyzstan

"thinken things gotta start on em local level an move up frum there."

Me too. I am not a member of a party now, but I am working with both local Greens and Libs! I worked to get some LPs in my local government and Greens in some other places into local office. If you look at their platforms, even though they seem opposed on some issues, they are both closer to regular folks than the Dems and the Reps are now. *sigh* I'm confused. Mostly I decide who to support and work with and for based on the person, the candidate, and not the party.

I am without a party now but the best thing I got involved in last year was a LP drive for medical marijuana issue in Detroit Michigan, and supporting a couple of Green party gals who were elected to School Boards. It was all good. I'm also involved in Voter's Rights groups and issues. That's at the top of my agenda at the moment. It doesn't matter that I haven't a party, it's just good to get together with some folks who are willing to work for the same things. But I so miss being a part of a party sometimes... I'm thinking on it.

Hiya, Spike. My family were post WWII dems, and union peeps, so I don't have as much history with Dems. I like the myth of the Dems. But they aren't living up to it. I like the myth of the Repubs too, but they are ridiculously further from what they claim to be. The Greens, I like the ideas behind their 10 key values, but I think they are rather badly defined and stated:

and I have bones to pick with the party I belonged to for two decades as well. sigh

I dunno these days. I pick causes I like and work at them. I see bad crap and rail against it. I do miss belonging to groups, or a party. I may make a change soon.

Hi Muck! :)

--

"All my possessions for a moment of time." -Queen Elizabeth I

The persecution of continental Protestants forced Elizabeth into war, a situation which she desperately tried to avoid. She sent an army to aid French Huguenots (Calvinists who had settled in France) after a 1572 massacre wherein over three thousand Huguenots lost their lives. She sent further assistance to Protestant factions on the continent and in Scotland following the emergence of radical Catholic groups and assisted Belgium in their bid to gain independence from Spain. The situation came to head after Elizabeth rejected a marriage proposal from Philip II of Spain; the indignant Spanish King, incensed by English piracy and forays in New World exploration, sent his much-feared Armada to raid England. However, the English won the naval battle handily, due as much to bad weather as to English naval prowess. England emerged as the world's strongest naval power, setting the stage for later English imperial designs.

Elizabeth was a master of political science. She inherited her father's supremacist view of the monarchy, but showed great wisdom by refusing to directly antagonize Parliament. She acquired undying devotion from her advisement council, who were constantly perplexed by her habit of waiting to the last minute to make decisions. She used the varying factions (instead of being used by them, as were her siblings), playing one off another until the exhausted combatants came to her for resolution of their grievances. Few English monarchs enjoyed such political power, while still maintaining the devotion of the whole of English society.

Elizabeth's reign was during one of the more constructive periods in English history. Literature bloomed through the works of Spenser, Marlowe and Shakespeare. Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh were instrumental in expanding English influence in the New World. Elizabeth's religious compromise laid many fears to rest. Fashion and education came to the fore because of Elizabeth's penchant for knowledge, courtly behavior and extravagant dress. Good Queen Bess, as she came to called, main

air until the day she died; a quote, from a letter by Paul Hentzen, reveals the aging queen's regal nature: "Next came the Queen in the sixty-fifth year of her age, as we were told, very majestic; her face oblong, fair, but wrinkled; her eyes small yet black and pleasant; her nose a little hooked; her lips narrow... she had in her ear two pearls, with very rich drops... her air was stately; her manner of speaking mild and obliging." This regal figure surely had her faults, but the last Tudor excelled at rising to challenges and emerging victorious.

I don't really like that idea at all! But they don't want to come with us.

So now I'm worried that while I live so far away from them I will worry.

AGGGHHH! the plight of being a mother.

once your a mother you can never go back.

Hi NEWS CONSUMER.

What about spade?

This'll be around the third time I've seen that word recently...about time to ask wtf is up... or I could just let it be...like Red Scorpion... :)

Your mom will still be there for the girls or is she moving too?

All those pictures of palm trees and ocean is really just a picture.

NOW the palm trees are some sort of Metal receiver thingy that I'm not sure what they are. AND the traffic! OH MY DOG!!! The traffic is the worst.

I miss old Cali!

My Mom is trying to move, and battle breast cancer at the same time so she will not be here for the girls.

Nope, all the girls will have is their father that I tried like hell to keep them away from for most of their lives. (long ugly story no one wants to hear and I don't want to retell.)

This one is shorter I think.

akaMAT, if your kids don't do well, they will call you up and say "Mom, can you take us in?" If they do well, you will miss them but how bad can it be having raised healthy independent children? You will miss them, but remember how good you are for raising them so indy and strong!

Easy for me to say... but seriously, you must've done real well by them and you can call and email and message and visit! They are not lost to you, you'll probably only have a little less contact. Plus, if your new digs are really nice, they may relocate later.

Aruba police official: Suspect confesses to killing missing teen

ORANJESTAD, Aruba (CNN) -- One of three young suspects arrested Thursday in the investigation into the disappearance of an Alabama teenager has confessed to her murder, a senior police official said late Friday.

The suspect has agreed to lead police to the body of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway, the police official said.

I'm so sorry about your mom... I didn't remember that she had cancer.

yeah, I'm kinda hoping that when they come to visit they will fall in love with the place.

I guess will see.

I watched that movie (FINALLY) what the bleep do we know. and the Damn DVD blanked out for the last 7 minutes of the movie!

that movie gave me A LOT to think about.

Oh! That's right! I read that you saw it! You missed the very end though right?

Shell, I just took that online test. All my top results where in New Jersey?!

I have never ever even considered living in New Jersey. What do the test makers know that I do not? I am confused, but intrigued...

Well at the end Rhett turns to Scarlet and says "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

The online test kept trying to send me to the DC area. I just moved from the DC area five years ago. I am sure that I will have to go back before too long, but not anytime soon I hope.

I'm so sorry about your mom... I didn't remember that she had cancer.

Posted by: shell at June 11, 2005 02:00 AM

It's getting better! Plus she is getting some kind of new herb from Paraquay that they have been using on peeps with cancer. She is seeing improvement in what she has been already taking. So who knows what this plant will do.

She seems to be in a good place about it. Says that doctors are crack pots and that people shouldn't be dying from cancer in the first place.

I tend to agree. There are herbs that will cure us they just don't want us to know about them.

Since she is seeing improvement I think I will just trust her decission to self treat.

I think you asked if I thought Bush would be impeached.

What occurred to me was the pattern of human behavior. The vignette occures in the middle of the novel, "The Maltese Falcon."

The story comes out of nowhere. The author Dashell Hammett, has his character, the detective Sam Spade, tell a story in the middle of the story. The technique makes the fictional character come to life.

The story of "falling beams" may be particullary relevant.

Be well and happy, y'all. See ya later, if I'm lucky.

CHAPTER I.

THE OVERTURE

Musicians as lovers! The very phrase evokes and parades a pageant of
amours! The thousand heartaches; the fingers clutching hungrily at keys
that might be other fingers; the fiddler with his eyelids clenched while
he dreams that the violin, against his cheek is the satin cheek of "the
inexpressive She;" the singer with a cry in every note; the moonlit
youth with the mandolin tinkling his serenade to an ivied window; the
dead-marches; the nocturnes; the amorous waltzes; the duets; the trills
and trinkets of flirtatious scherzi; the laughing roulades; the discords
melted into concord as solitude into the arms of reunion--these are
music's very own.

So capable of love and its expression is music, indeed, that you almost
wonder if any but musicians have ever truly loved, or loving have
expressed. And yet--! Round every corner there lurks an "and yet." And
if you only continue your march, or your reading, you always reach that
corner.

Your first thought would be, that a good musician must be a good lover;
that a broken heart alone can add the Master's degree to the usual
conservatory diploma of Bachelor of Music; that all musicians must be
sentimental, if musicians at all; and finally that only musicians can
know how to announce and embellish that primeval theme to which all
existence is but variations, more or less brilliant, more or less in
tune.

But go a little further, and closer study will prove that some of the
world's greatest virtuosos in love could neither make nor carry a tune;
and that, by corollary, some of the greatest tunesters in the world were
tyros, ignoramuses, or heretics in that old lovers' arithmetic which
begins: 1 plus 1 equals 1.

Someone please tell me just one reason not to be in complete despair.

Founded in 1919 by Herbert Hoover, the Stanford University-based Hoover Institution is one of the country's oldest research institutes. With eight fellows on the Bush administration's Defense Policy Board (DPB), as well as several current and former associates like Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice serving in the country's highest policy-making posts, the influence of Hoover is difficult to overestimate. Hoover DPB members include Richard Allen, Martin Anderson, Gary Becker, Newt Gingrich, Henry S. Rowen, Kiron Skinner, and Pete Wilson. (7)

Hoover's connection to the Bush administration and its hardline defense policies has been a source of continuing controversy at Stanford. According to journalist Emily Biuso, in early 2003, various campus groups organized a series of protests calling for Hoover's ouster from the university, which donates about $1 million to the institution every year. (3)

Hoover's focus is not limited to foreign and defense polices. Reports Mediatransparency, "The Hoover Institution's well known antipathy to federal social welfare policies was . . . expressed by the chair of the Hoover board when he declared that 'there is growing realization that we either must accede to the gathering force of the welfare state or return to the more promising ways of freedom.' Hoover . . . has focused particular attention on tax policy, promoting the flat tax for well over a decade and organizing policy briefings and conferences on the issus. . . . It was, according to one well-placed journalist and author, one of four leading policy institutions that pulled the nation's economic policy debate to the right in the early 1980s." (5)

Hoover Institution

THE VOTER TECHNOLOGY PROJECT is a TOOL of the HOOVER INSTITUTION!

The story sort of puts things into perspective.

One of the best things I've read, that was written about Bush was written by a novelist; E.L. Doctorow, "The Unfeeling President."

I think he nailed it.

It took the voice of the poet to bare this president and our nations soul.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_U.S._presidential_election_controversy,_exit_polls

After the 2004 U.S. presidential election there were allegations of data irregularities and systematic flaws which may have affected the outcome of both the presidential and local elections. Unofficial results currently indicate a victory by George W. Bush over John Kerry. Allegations range from significant exit poll and other data irregularities potentially characteristic of fraud, to complaints voting was not conducted equally for all citizens, for example, uneven voting machine distribution which might lead to long voting lines and disenfranchisement

Caltech/MIT analysis and rebuttal

The heads of the Voter Technology Project (VTP) have a variety of documented strong political ties to right wing thinktanks, voting machine companies and their owners, and the like, including the Hoover Institution (which has very strong links to the Bush administration), "right-wing evangelical Christian and Republican circles" and "the highly secretive far-Right Council for National Policy", and the Urosevich brothers referred to above under Diebold and ES&S.

A ploy to gather cred at a time when it is least consequential. How does the VTP say we should fix these "errors in voter registration databases or polling place problems" ???

I suspect it's more then sadism at work. Some of the soldiers are, by extension, exposing both the conscience and unconscience desires of this president and his administration. Not a very pretty thing when looked at too closely.

I dunno. blah. The animals make me happy. Id die without them.

Breaking news. MDL funds might be in serious trouble, big institutions are pulling out.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/6/11/0447/60567

Earlier today, Ohio State University suspended all trading in its $40 million account managed by MDL .

"Lastly, MDL management is likely consumed with the various investigations, and their attention to investment management is probably less than we desire. As such, I suspended all trading in MDL's account," wrote Jim Nichols in a memo to the university board of trustees dated today.

Mr. Nichols said the university has safeguards that would prevent a similar meltdown as with the hedge fund. The trustees will review its $1.7 billion worth of investments. In November, Mr. Nichols and the trustees decided to "ratchet down" the investment in the domestic bond fund from $80 million to $40 million.

what is MDL?

hello?

Thomas De Quincey once broached the problem of "What is....?" in regard to literature. What is literature? De Quincey wasn't sure he could answer, and in fact thought that a far more important point "is to be sought not so much in a better definition of literature as in a sharper distinction of the two functions which it fulfills."6 Taking the fact that there is something called "literature" as a given, De Quincey drew a very useful distinction between two of its primary functions, arguing that there is a Literature of Knowledge and a Literature of Power. "The function of the first is — to teach; the function of the second is — to move.... The first speaks to the mere discursive understanding; the second speaks ultimately, it may happen, to the higher understanding or reason, but always through affections of pleasure and sympathy." De Quincey adds an example: "What do you learn from Paradise Lost? Nothing at all. What do you learn from a cookery-book? Something new, something that you did not know before, in every paragraph. But would you therefore put the wretched cookery-book on a higher level of estimation than the divine poem? What you owe to Milton is not any knowledge...; what you owe is power."

~~~ Bush sadist? ~~~

Not so much a sadist. I just keep getting pictures in my head of Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld dressed up like Alex and his Clockwork Orange buddies going out and doing whatever the fuck they want. Killing, raping... uneffected by any socialization whatsoever.

Scoop Full Coverage "A Very American Coup"

Scoop has obtained internal mail messages from Diebold Election Systems which clearly and explicitly confirm security problems in the GEMS vote counting software that were highlighted in reports published on Scoop.co.nz and widely elsewhere in July.

In the internal mail Diebold Election Systems principal engineer R&D Ken Clark - then working for Global Election Systems before Diebold took the company over - responded to an internal query over a security problem. The official certification laboratory responsible for assessing the voting technology company software's robustness had noticed a problem, and a staff member was seeking Clark's advice.

Diebold Election Systems technical writer R&D Nel Finberg wrote to the "support" list on 16th October 2001: "Jennifer Price at Metamor (about to be Ciber) [this is the certification lab responsible for certifying all United States voting software] has indicated that she can access the GEMS Access database and alter the Audit log without entering a password. What is the position of our development staff on this issue? Can we justify this? Or should this be anathema?"

The "GEMS Access database" that Finberg refers to is a piece of computer software which is loaded onto county election supervisors computers. It is responsible for tallying votes from county precinct voting booths, these results are typically modemed into the central computer.

Significantly this software is responsible for tallying all votes, optical scan, touchscreen and absentee ballots. It was this software that Scoop initially reported was all too easy to hack in its July 8th report from Bev Harris.

Member of British top court says UK and US tried to bend international law!

what is fascinating in this article is the "excuse" used by the british attorney general to justify the detainments and Lord Steyn's response:

The attorney general, Lord Goldsmith, argued in the Belmarsh case that the unelected judges had no democratic mandate and should defer in the sphere of national security to politicians who had been elected by the people.

Lord Steyn said Lord Bingham's judgment in the Belmarsh case, pointing out the "wholly democratic mandate" given to judges by parliament in the Human Rights Act, had contained the "most eloquent and magisterial rebuke" to an attorney general since Lord Denning quoted the words of Thomas Fuller: "Be you ever so high, the law is above you."

Clairvoyance and Occult Powers

by Swami Panchadasi, 1916

--

Good night SJ and Hello Mel! :)

?

Nobody loves me but my animals and my mommy.

Wahhh!

The lonely sunsets flare forlorn

Down valleys dreadly desolate;

The lordly mountains soar in scorn

As still as death, as stern as fate.

The lonely sunsets flame and die;

The giant valleys gulp the night;

The monster mountains scrape the sky,

Where eager stars are diamond-bright.

So gaunt against the gibbous moon,

Piercing the silence velvet-piled,

A lone wolf howls his ancient rune --

The fell arch-spirit of the Wild.

O outcast land! O leper land!

Let the lone wolf-cry all express

The hate insensate of thy hand,

Thy heart's abysmal loneliness.

*

The Land God Forgot by Robert Service

Hello Shelly!!!

Hello Meg!!!

I love you!!!

In Moulmein, in lower Burma, I was hated by large numbers of people – the only time in my life that I have been important enough for this to happen to me. I was sub-divisional police officer of the town, and in an aimless, petty kind of way anti-European feeling was very bitter. No one had the guts to raise a riot, but if a European woman went through the bazaars alone somebody would probably spit betel juice over her dress.

Yay Mel, thank you!

I wish I could have little furry animals that loved me almost unconditionally!!!!

Can you name twenty kinds of wild flowers? Around San Francisco and
the bay counties you will count, after the poppy and baby blue-eyes,
the shining yellow buttercup, the blue and yellow lupines that grow in
the sand, the tall thistle whose sharp, prickly leaves and thorny
red blossoms spell "Let-me-alone," the blue flag-lilies and red
paint-brush, yellow cream-cups, and wild mustard, and an orange
pentstemon. These with many yellow compositae or flowers like the
dandelion, you will find growing on the windy hills and dry, sunny
places. Hiding away in quiet corners are the blue-eyed grass, and
a wild purple hyacinth, the scarlet columbine swinging its golden
tassels, shy blue larkspur, a small yellow sunflower, and wild pink
roses. Among the ferns in shady, wet nooks are white trilliums and a
delicate pink bleeding-heart, while the wild blue violets and yellow
pansies love the warm, rocky hillside.

Mariposas, or butterfly tulips of many colors, grow in the foot-hills
and mountains. Perhaps our most beautiful wild flowers are the lilies,
of which we have over a dozen kinds. In the redwood forests there is a
tall, lovely pink lily, and many brown-spotted yellow tiger-lilies. Up
in the mountain pines a snowy white Washington lily sometimes covers
a mountain side with its tall stems bearing dozens of sweet waxen
blossoms. In the wet, swampy places bright red, and many small orange
lilies bloom in late summer.

In the high Sierras are found strange and pretty blossoms unlike
the flowers of valleys and sea-coast. There you will see the
mountain-heather with pink, purple, or dainty white bells, the
goldenrod, and gentians blue as the sky. Strangest of all is the
snow-plant. This curious thing sends up a thick, fleshy spike a foot
or so in height and set closely with bright scarlet flowers. It grows
where the snow has just melted round the fir trees, and leaf, stem,
and blossom are all the same glowing red.

Most of the valley and coast wild-flowers bloom and ripen their seeds
before the dry summer begins. Such plants die and wit

Happy picture

Now I have to go to bed.

dork needs not apply.

A certain position of the mind from where life and

death, the real and the imaginary, the past and the future...

cease to be perceived in a contradictory sense.

-- Andre' Breton

In a morbid condition of the brain, dreams often have a singular actuality, vividness and extraordinary semblance of reality. At times monstrous images are created, but the setting and the whole picture are so truthlike and filled with details so delicate, so unexpected, but so artistically consistent, that the dreamer, were he an artist like Pushkin or Turgenev even, could never have invented them in the waking state. Such dreams always remain long in the memory and make a powerful impression on the overwrought and deranged nervous system.

When is it time to start referring to Bush as an unpopular president? When his approval ratings are solidly below 50 percent for at least three months? Check. When his approval ratings on his signature issues are in the red? Check. When a clear majority of Americans say he is ignoring the public's concerns and instead has become distracted by issues that most people say they care little about? Check.

I know it's no consolation in light of the disasterous excuse we have for a government and everything that's happened. 06 may be something to look forward to.

In the meantime, at the very least: I wonder what impact a national strike or "sick day," would have? How about a general economic boycott or slowdown on a particular day or holiday to express opposition to the Bush administration?

I suspect the administrations policies have not been in effect long enough to be translated into a broad negative social impact sufficient enough to create domestic social unrest. Bolivia actions may portend our future.

Something tells me it's coming.

~~~ I like the way she moves. ~~~

Kash also noted that DeLong-Samwick dialogue how to read the employment-to-population ratio and the decline in the labor force participation rate – with Brad’s contribution being that compensation has not increased as fast as productivity, which he interprets as a signal that the demand for labor curve has shifted downwards versus Andrew’s implied suggestion that the supply curve has shifted inwards. In addition to Kash’s charts, let me add this chart of real wages and real fringe benefits using the data source suggested by Brad. Whether real wages have risen slightly in the last couple of years (Kash’s chart) or fallen slightly (my chart) depends on which subsector we are talking about (albeitLawrence Kudlow would have the non-supervisory employees rejoice in the fact the nominal wages rose at all), but the main message seems to be that much of the increase in real compensation comes from fringe benefits such as health insurance premiums, which Kash claims “yield little or no actual improvements in health care for the average person”.

Perhaps there should be one unified blog, so you can simply switch blogs when the programs are over.

It would provide a much better flow. You also wouldn't need all those passwords. Whoever came up with the idea of having to register for blogs should be fired.

H.R. Giger is the world's foremost nightmare surrealist...Many wonder where Giger's inspiration comes from. Some say he retains a memory of being born, and that horrific experience haunts him to this day. More reputably, his fascination with bizarre shadows of the mind began when his father received a human skull as a business promotion. Giger keeps a dream diary and uses these concepts to create some of his most fantastic works.

I will find out a place for thee, O Sleep

Full of soft streams and little winds that creep

Grisly Effect of One Drug: 'Meth Mouth'

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/11/national/11meth.html?hp&ex=1118548800&en=3624501c3fecd828&ei=5094&partner=homepage

The drug itself, a synthetic stimulant that can be manufactured just about anywhere, causes dry mouth, Dr. Shaner said, and that in turn allows decay to start, since saliva is unavailable to help control bacteria in the mouth. The drug also tends to leave users thirsty and craving a constant supply of soda pop and other sugary drinks, which spur the decay; Mountain Dew, he said, has become the preferred drink of methamphetamine users. At the same time, the drug's highly addictive nature causes many users simply to stop doing what is needed to take care of themselves, including the brushing of teeth.

Other dentists said they suspected that the caustic ingredients of the drug - whether smoked, injected, snorted or eaten - contributed to the damage, which tends to start near the gums and wander to the edges of teeth. Among ingredients that can be used to make meth are red phosphorus found in the strips on boxes of matches and lithium from car batteries.

There are also dentists who point to methamphetamine users' tendency to grind and clench their teeth nervously, aggravating the frighteningly twisted and tangled look of meth mouth.

Thanks Mel..

Fish! My game won't work without a second word!

George
W Bush

And THAT'S not my favorite word!

http://www.everydayzen.org/teachings/talk_ascentoflove.asp

To be a human being is to be messy, smelly, and flawed as well as noble and spiritual. And this is perfection: our very imperfection can't ever be dispensed with. When you reflect on it long enough you see how radically this is so. It's the nature of rupa, flesh, to be corrupted, to return to the earth. And it's the nature of mind to rise up, returning to heaven. Yet body and mind are not two substances, they are one flow. Only within our conceptual world do they appear as separate. Only in the conceptual world is there an opposition between perfection and imperfection, between love and resentment. When we sit in zazen we demonstrate this directly and train in it: rooted in the body, on the earth, held on our seats by gravity, we also rise up, feeling the lightness of the upper torso as our spirit lifts us with a light touch. For a little while we can let go of concepts and simply experience love without anything extra.

~~~ Pick your second favorite then... pleeeeeeeeeez? ~~~

Corporate America is bowing to anti-gay Christian groups’ boycott demands

by DOUG IRELAND

Spurred on by a biblical injunction evangelicals call “The Great Commission,” and emboldened by George W. Bush’s re-election, which is perceived as a “mandate from God,” the Christian right has launched a series of boycotts and pressure campaigns aimed at corporate America — and at its sponsorship of entertainment, programs and activities the Christers don’t like.

And it’s working. Just three weeks ago, the Rev. Donald Wildmon’s American Family Association (AFA) announced it was ending its boycott of corporate giant Procter & Gamble — maker of household staples like Tide and Crest — for being pro-gay. Why? Because the AFA’s boycott (which the organization says enlisted 400,000 families) had succeeded in getting P&G to pull its millions of dollars in advertising from TV shows like Will & Grace and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. P&G also ended its advertising in gay magazines and on gay Web sites. And a P&G executive who had been given a leave of absence to work on a successful Cincinnati, Ohio, referendum that repealed a ban on any measures protecting gays from discrimination was shown the door.

Senator: GOP targets Elmo and Sesame Street 'for destruction'

RAW STORY

The following release was issued by Senator Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ, this morning, following a sharp budget cut by the House Appropriations Committee to public television funding.

In response to Republican efforts to reduce federal funding for children’s public television programs such as Sesame Street and Arthur, Sen. Lautenberg (D-.N.J), a grandfather of ten children, sent a message to his Republican colleagues; “Pick on somebody your own size.”

From his release:
#

Lautenberg serves on the Senate Commerce Committee which has oversight of public and private broadcasting, and pledged to use his position to thwart any efforts to cut off funds for PBS.

“With so much filth on the airwaves, public television is an oasis for parents,” said Lautenberg. “As a grandparent I take comfort in the knowledge that my grandchildren can watch safe, quality programs like Sesame Street, Caillou, Arthur and Between the Lions. And as a Senator I’ll fight to save these shows.

“The Republicans who are targeting Elmo, Arthur and other PBS characters should pick on somebody their own size,” Lautenberg added. “Parents across America trust PBS, but these ideologues in Congress think they know what is best for other people’s children.”

Yesterday during a hearing of the House Appropriations Subcommittee for Labor/HHS/and Education, Republicans approved a measure that would drastically cut federal funding for all public broadcasting beginning next year.

“Elmo and other PBS characters are now on the right wing’s “Most Wanted” List,” said Lautenberg. “Instead of focusing on our nation’s pressing problems, they are picking on children. It’s unconscionable.”

Gallup: Public Confidence in Newspapers, TV News Falls to All-Time Low

By E&P Staff

Published: June 10, 2005 11:00 AM ET

NEW YORK Public trust in newspapers and television news continued to decline in Gallup's annual survey of "public confidence in major institutions" in the United States, reaching an all-time low this year.

Those having a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in newspapers dipped from 30% to 28% in one year, the same total for television. The previous low for newspapers was 29% in 1994. Since 2000, confidence in newspapers has declined from 37% to 28%, and TV from 36% to 28%, according to the poll.

However, some other institutions fared far worse this year, suggesting a broad level of distrust, cynicism or malaise.

Stem Cells: The Case for Bush’s Policy

Ramesh Ponnuru

The case against federal funding of stem-cell research.

Ramesh Ponnuru is a media fellow at the Hoover Institution and senior editor of the National Review.

{***}

Fourth, there is the argument from disagreement: Why should the government impede, or fail to support, research just because some members of our society object to it? Other people of goodwill support it. But those of us who object to the research do not want the government to deny funding for it because we object; we want it to be denied funding for the same reasons that we object. If our reasoning is correct, then our views deserve to prevail on the merits. A sizable number of people may disagree, but if our reasoning is correct they are simply wrong and should adjust their views accordingly. If our reasoning is faulty, on the other hand, then our conclusion is wrong. The debate can’t be sidestepped by saying that whenever A disagrees with B, we should compromise by going with B’s position.

Finally, there is the argument from Roe. Maybe embryonic life should be protected, goes this argument, but it manifestly is not protected in our society. What is the logic of prohibiting, or failing to promote, potentially life-saving research when abortion is legal in all nine months of pregnancy? There is a possible answer to this question: A person who is pro-choice could nonetheless oppose embryo-destroying research—provided that his view of abortion is based not on the premise that the embryo or fetus is worthless, but rather on the premise that the autonomy and bodily integrity of the pregnant woman somehow trumps its right to life. I would not make this argument myself, but many of the slogans that supporters of legal abortion use accord with it. As a legal matter, the Supreme Court sees abortion in light of a right of women to decide whether to “bear or beget” children, and it has cautioned against defining this and similar (alleged) rights at too high a level of abstraction.

Saudis, Enron money helped pay for US rigged election

By Wayne Madsen

Online Journal Contributing Writer

November 25, 2004—According to informed sources in Washington and Houston, the Bush campaign spent some $29 million to pay polling place operatives around the country to rig the election for Bush. The operatives were posing as Homeland Security and FBI agents but were actually technicians familiar with Diebold, Sequoia, ES&S, Triad, Unilect, and Danaher Controls voting machines. These technicians reportedly hacked the systems to skew the results in favor of Bush.

The leak about the money and the rigged election apparently came from technicians who were promised to be paid a certain amount for their work but the Bush campaign interlocutors reneged and some of the technicians are revealing the nature of the vote rigging program.

There have been media reports from around the country concerning the locking down of precincts while votes were being tallied. In one unprecedented action in Warren County, Ohio, election officials locked down the facility where votes were being counted. The officials said this was in response to a Level 10 high-threat terrorist warning being issued by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI for Warren County. George Bush won 72 percent of the vote in Warren County, much larger than his percentage of victory statewide.

The money to rig the election in favor of Bush reportedly came from an entity called Five Star Trust, largely based in Houston but a worldwide entity that is directly tied to the Saudi Royal Family. Five Star Trust was termed "a well-protected vehicle" that has been used to support both Bush and Osama bin Laden in the US and around the world.

Other money used to fund the election rigging was

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JUNE 10, 2005
3:46 PM

CONTACT: US Rep Bernie Sanders
Erin Campbell (202) 225-4115

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

WASHINGTON - June 10 - 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.”

Under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, federal agents are empowered to get orders from a secret court that allows them to access, among other things, the reading records of Americans in both libraries and bookstores. Because these orders are granted by a secret court, the people whose records are sought have no opportunity to oppose the order. In most cases the person whose records are acquired will never know it because the law itself makes it a criminal offense for the librarian or bookseller to tell anyone about the order. Sanders’ amendment will prohibit the government from using the secret court orders granted under the Patriot Act to gain access to Americans’ reading records.

Sanders said, “Section 215 not only intrudes on Americans’ Constitutional rights, but it does so unnecessarily. Government agents could always gain access to library and bookstore records if they had probable cause to believe they were connected to criminal activity—including terrorism. Under Section 215, innocent Americans are denied the Constitutional protections that come with search warrants

Congress Eyes Patriot Act Tweaks

Hotels, apartment-building owners and ISPs are among the businesses that the FBI ordered to turn over records without demonstrating evidence that subjects were involved in crime. Under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, the government merely has to state that records are sought in an investigation related to terrorism, and the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court will authorize the search.

One reason that none of these businesses has joined the growing chorus against the Patriot Act is that the law forbids them from ever mentioning this kind of FBI order to anyone, even a lawyer. It also prohibits them from challenging the order in court.

Under section 215 of the Patriot Act, judges who sit on a secret court must approve a request for records about people’s health, wealth or the transactions of their daily life if the law enforcement agents say they want it for a foreign intelligence investigation. None of these requests has ever been denied and the order includes a permanent gag order. And the White House has refused the common sense requirement that there be specific facts connecting the records sought to a foreign agent. And, at the same time, the White House is now pushing for ‘administrative subpoenas,’ which would allow the FBI to issue and sign its own search orders - without prior judicial approval. If this became law, we would go from diminished judicial approval to none at all: this is the administration’s idea of checks and balances.

You have to read this interview with Joshua Frank about the 2004 elections.. We need to be hearing THIS on the Majority Report!!!

Another proposal would raise the age limit for active-duty Army recruits from 35 to 40. The Army raised that limit for its reserve elements in March, but increasing it for the active-duty force requires congressional approval. Rochelle said the change would bring in soldiers with greater experience and maturity, while making little difference in terms of physical abilities -- saying that today's 40-year-olds are in better physical shape than they were when the law was written.

Army officials stress that they are not lowering standards in the push for recruits. But they acknowledge they are slightly less selective in some areas -- for example, by taking more enlistees who lack high school diplomas.

I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I hadn't heard of this book before today. But it's one I'm certainly interested in reading and one I imagine a lot of TPM Readers would be too. Please note, I have not read the book yet. So I can't say it's a recommendation per se. But I want to bring it to your attention.

It's called The Plot Against Social Security : How the Bush Plan Is Endangering Our Financial Future. And it just came out in May.

It's by Michael Hiltzik, a business columnist for the LA Times.

Here's part of what Publishers Weekly said about it ...
A Pulitzer Prize–winning financial journalist for the Los Angeles Times, Hiltzik gathers arguments made by a plethora of economists and skeptics into a comprehensive, biting critique of the privatization agenda and what he calls the "astroturf" alliance of right-wing ideologues, Wall Street opportunists and Republican political operatives that "aims to propagate, and then exploit, public ignorance." Prophecies of the Social Security trust fund's bankruptcy, he finds, are based on dubious and politically biased forecasts; more realistic projections have the trust fund growing nicely over the next 75 years. Even if doomsayers' predictions come true, he notes, the system's solvency can be safeguarded by straightforward fixes; simply lifting the cap on Social Security taxes—thus taxing high-income workers at the same rate as everyone else—would make up Bush's projected shortfall and then some, he says.

Sounds about right to me.

Dean's Zeal Is Looking Like Zealotry, Some Fear
Tone down the rhetoric, Democrats tell their leader after his recent inflammatory remarks.

By Richard Simon
Times Staff Writer

June 10, 2005

WASHINGTON — When Howard Dean was chosen to head their party, Democrats looked forward to the benefits of his bristling energy and zest for political combat.

But at a private meeting Thursday on Capitol Hill, a number of worried Senate Democrats warned Dean that he had been going overboard and needed to choose his words more carefully.

The former Vermont governor and unsuccessful presidential candidate recently referred to the GOP as "pretty much a white, Christian party" and declared that a lot of Republicans have "never made an honest living in their lives."

Sen. Russell D. Feingold (D-Wis.) said that at the Capitol Hill meeting, "there couldn't be any doubt that there was some concern, even by Dean himself," about how his comments had been received.

The meeting had been scheduled to discuss party strategy before Dean's controversial comments.

Also Thursday, two Democrats seen as rising stars — Rep. Harold Ford of Tennessee and Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner — made a point of distancing themselves from Dean's remarks.

Ford, who plans a Senate run next year, said on the Don Imus radio show that if Dean could not "temper his comments, it may get to the point where the party may need to look elsewhere for leadership, because he does not speak for me."

Ford later told The Times that Dean was "leading us in a direction that makes it difficult to win…. His leadership right now is not serving any of us very well."

Everybody knew Dean spoke for the Looney~Left! Real Democrats are running for the woods. So ya think your ever gonna sell your brand of crap to the public? Ha ha ha ha.

This is Hell can be streamed live from :

http://www.wnur.org/

The case could easily be made that the Republican Party’s biggest asset is not President George W. Bush, despite the overall excellence of his performance in the White House, but Howard Dean. The outrageous rhetoric that Dean has consistently displayed before microphones and television cameras since becoming chairman of the Democratic National Committee is a valuable asset for Republicans. In speech after speech Dean exposes his profound misunderstanding of America and his deep delusion as to why Democrats continue to lose the White House.

Incredibly, two months later, speaking at the California Democratic Party State Convention, Dean said, “Our problem is not that Americans don’t share our values, our problem is we don’t communicate what those values are very well.”

Teens and Unsafe Work

Five Worst Teen Jobs

1. Agriculture: Fieldwork and Processing

2. Construction and Work in Heights

3. Outside Helper: Landscaping, Groundskeeping, and Lawn Service

4. Driver/Operator: Forklifts, Tractors, and ATVs

5. Traveling Youth Crews

The American people knew what Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and John Kerry stood for. Those candidates were not misunderstood. They were well known and rejected. Communicating well does not mean one is communicating convincingly.

Howard Dean’s feeble assertion that Democrats are misunderstood is contradicted by both the substance of political campaigns and election results. The dilemma facing Democrats is that the American people unquestionably do understand what they stand for, and they have known for a long time.

While it's apparent that Dean does not pay attention to current events, do accept this deceit. As the BBC pointed out in 2001, President Bush's Cabinet was the "most ethnically diverse" in American history.

Even in his second term Bush's Cabinet looks more like America than even President Clinton's did; of 15 key officials, a full 40 percent would be hard-pressed to consider themselves "white" (at least in terms that I think Dean intends white to be defined as).

The Democratic party did this week what the Democratic party does best: It pointed the gun at its own foot and fired a swift shot.

U.S. Rep. Harold Ford of Tennessee said on the Don Imus radio show that if Dean could not "temper his comments, it may get to the point where the party may need to look elsewhere for leadership, because he does not speak for me."

Some of them, like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California, understand this. Although she disagrees with Dean's most recent comments, she told The Los Angeles Times he is a terrific party chairman.

"That is why," she said, "the Republicans are so relentlessly going after him."

Question is, why are the Democrats?

Hours later, gunmen attacked a busload of construction workers south of Baghdad, killing at least 11 and wounding three others, police said.

Separately, U.S. soldiers clashed with armed Iraqis early Saturday in Baghdad, killing two and wounding two others, the military said. Iraqi police said the victims were security guards mistakenly killed by the Americans.

"A series of 1000 watt radio stations with dismal ratings up against the networks and cable news."

you ever hear the story about davey and goliath, true dat?

a tradition of resistance has persisted since the Neolithic, unbroken by the rise of the first States, and even till today. Thus: we resist and revolt because it is our glorious heritage to do so, it is our "conservatism". This resistance movement has become incredibly shabby and dusty since it first arose some 12,000 years ago in response to the "first ideologies" (agriculture, the calendar, the appropriation of labor)?but it still persists because it still defines most of the "empirical freedoms" that most people would like to enjoy: absence of oppression, peace, plenty, autonomy, conviviality or community, no rich or poor, spiritual expression and the pleasure of the body, and so on. It may be impossible to construct a system or ideology or strategy on such uncategorizable desires, but it is equally impossible to refute them with ideology, precisely because of their empirical and "tactical" nature. No matter what, they persist, even if they remain for all practical purposes unseen, still they refuse to go away. When all the ideeas have betrayed us, this "organic machine" (Society vs. the State) declines even to define itself as an idea. It remains loyal to our immemorial inarticulacy, our silence, our poorness.

Gertz first reported on this story in July 2004. Take a moment to read carefully Gertz’s July 2004 story in its entirety, then answer the following question: What surprised US intelligence about China’s new attack submarine?

You can’t, because Gertz doesn’t offer more than an unidentified official calling it a “technical surprise,” and noting the submarine “is diesel-powered” and a “combination of indigenous Chinese hardware and Russian weapons.”

DIA Director Lowell Jacoby, in prepared Congressional testimony, acknowledged that “China recently launched a new conventional submarine.” Jacoby didn’t mention being surprised, but then again why should he? The 2002 edition of Chinese Military Power mentions China is constructing new diesel submarines that incorporate Russian weapons systems:

Court ruling requires disclosure about funding in Texas House races

By JANET ELLIOTT

Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle Austin Bureau

AUSTIN - A long-awaited ruling from the Texas Supreme Court on Friday requires the Texas Association of Business to answer questions about how it raised $2 million spent in targeted Texas House races in 2002.

The Supreme Court, without comment, lifted a stay it had issued on Jan. 28, 2004.
(snip)

The TAB targeted 22 Texas House races, with its endorsed candidates winning 18 of those contests. The wins were key to the Republican takeover of the House.

Last month, a district judge in Travis County ruled that the treasurer of a political action committee founded by U.S. House Majority Tom DeLay violated state campaign-finance laws by not reporting more than $500,000 in corporate money used to influence Texas House elections. That ruling came in a lawsuit brought by five losing Democratic candidates against the treasurer of Texans for a Republican Majority, or TRMPAC.

TRMPAC and TAB also are under investigation by Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle. A Travis County grand jury has indicted three of DeLay's political associates and several major corporations on charges related to how money was raised or transferred to candidates.

The cow was a "downer", meaning it could not walk. But most significantly, the cow was born after the supposed "ban" on cattlefeed that contained animal parts, which should raise significant questions as to who screwed up at the USDA.

Of course, USDA is downplaying all this...working on additional tests, cow didn't test positive before, etc... BUT THE BLOODY COW COUDLN'T WALK!!!

GOP Faithful Accused of Building Pipe Bombs

By Associated Press

June 11, 2005, 12:38 AM EDT

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- A Ku Klux Klansman helped build seven pipe bombs that a federal informant told him would be rigged to vehicles used by Haitians and Hispanics, a federal agent testified Friday at a detention hearing.

Videotapes of meetings between the informant and Daniel Schertz, 27, showed them making the bombs and discussing how they would be used, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent Lorin Coppock testified.

Schertz also "offered on numerous occasions" to participate in bombings that were concocted as part of the investigation, the agent said.

In a six-count indictment unsealed Friday, Schertz is accused of teaching and demonstrating how to make and use a bomb to further a violent crime, making such devices and possessing a pistol with armor-piercing bullets.

Signs of Vietnam -- "Fragging"

BAGHDAD - The military has opened a criminal probe to determine if two Army officers who were killed earlier in the week in Tikrit died in a "fragging incident," the intentional killing of a friendly soldier by another soldier in a wartime setting.

Capt. Phillip T. Esposito and 1st Lt. Louis E. Allen were killed Tuesday evening in what the military first believed was an “indirect fire” attack on Forward Operating Base Danger, according to a statement issued by the military on Friday. An indirect fire attack involves enemy artillery or mortar rounds from a location some distance away.

Explosives experts said the blasts were caused by some other explosive devices, possibly improvised explosive devices or grenades.

One U.S. military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said investigators were looking into the possibility that the case was a fragging incident since the company commander and the operations officer were killed.

More in Congress Want Iraq Exit Strategy, Unease Grows as War Backing Falls

WASHINGTON -- Faced with plummeting public support for the war in Iraq, a growing number of members of Congress from both parties are reevaluating the reasons for the invasion and demanding the Bush administration produce a plan for withdrawing US troops.

A bipartisan group of House members is drafting a resolution that calls on the administration to present a strategy for getting the United States out of Iraq, reflecting an increasing restlessness about the war in a chamber that 2 1/2 years ago voted overwhelmingly to support the use of force in Iraq.

...

Representative Walter Jones of North Carolina, a conservative Republican who voted to authorize force, said his district is growing weary of a war that has cost the lives of more than 1,600 US troops and left more than 12,000 wounded.

...

Jones said he felt misled by the administration on the reasons for the war because no weapons of mass destruction have been found. ''If I knew what I knew today, I would not have voted for the resolution," Jones said.

Representative Marty Meehan, a Lowell Democrat who also voted for the war resolution, said he and some Democratic colleagues are working with five to 10 House Republicans on a resolution calling for an exit strategy to ease the United States out of Iraq. He said he hoped to get the support of 25 or more Republicans, despite the fact that only six voted against the war resolution.

"I don't know where he (bin Laden) is. I have no idea and I really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." ~ George Bush Jr. 2002-03-13

Not six months before 9/11 the Bush administration was
denouncing Clinton's focus on Osama Bin Laden:

”A senior State Department official told CNN that the U.S.
Government made a mistake last year by focusing too tightly
on bin Laden and "personalizing terrorism ... describing parts
of the elephant and not the whole beast."

Temperatures are rising in Iraq (none / 0)

And there is a positive correlation between temperature and murder rate. Throw in the:

* constant stress of knowing that they are a target of bullets, IEDs, and morters, off and on the base.

* sand-fleas and leishmaniasis

* the resentment over the backdoor draft they are being put through,

* being called on day-and-night to do terrible offensives where non-combatant women and children are unavoidable being killed; doing random sweeps and "raghead roundups" where they roust terrified families with young children that constantly remind them of their own kids.

* Seeing mercs, who don't work anywhere near as hard as they are, riding around in cushy air-conditioned SUV's and getting paid 20 x as much as they do

And everyday they are reminded of the fact that few or none chicken-hawk young repug cheerleaders, or GWB's daughters or nephews/nieces are stepping up to volunteer to become bullet-stoppers in Iraq for the Chimp's cause.

How would you feel if you were in the US combat troops' shoes?

For someone who constantly bitches about non-atheists who are ignorant of science, she sure displays her lack of knowledge.

Last, she was joking with Sam about a time machine she has. I have no idea what they mean by this, but she said something like this: "I really want to travel back to 1965 (she gave precise date), when scientists disovered the big bang theory and disproved creationism once again."
Those are pretty close to her exact words. She also added where it happened I think.
Anyway, the Big Bang theory was not discovered in a laboratory; but that some atheist needs to think it was is no surprise to me.
Big Bang was first proposed to the scientiffic community by a catholic priest named Georges Lemaitre in 1927, and it was immediately applauded by the legendary Albert Einstein.

eya kev, wanda

Pomegranite Jam? Mmmmmm!

that would be tasty!

think she's unaware of geek intensity and interest in "science" fact and history. what would be fun would be to feed her some really good stuff to fling out there when she feels like a foray into the science/philosophy field.

She has to redo the entire core thinking. But the thing is, it's foundational. The kind of stuff only people she admires/significant other can do. (ie. recontruct the entire worldview)

from the blog all I can do is post material based on what she says on air. (pro'ly get logic & informal logic textbook, intro to philo/reader's guide, highschool science books. So at least when she strings up 3 sentences they add up more than high velocity soundbites and actually makes sense. Some of her material and message are seriously ineffective and often counter productive. I am not talking about delivery, comedy or what not. But content detail, flow of logic and narrative coherency.)

but by now I am getting pretty tired of it and decide to just tune her out when possible. She doesn't care and she knows she can get away with it. She's been doing that knee-jerk thinking her entire life. She can't change, it's like teaching old dog new trick, not possible. I honestly think she consider this just me bitching on the net.

I really cut myself worse than I thought yesterday.

the wound is cry and clean now, a bandage would only slow down the healin, now.

But, I can see the blade went through the nail !

ouch!

no wonder it bled so. It appears that the cut ent about a quarter inch in depth. from the tip od the finger back... owie, ow, ow, ow!

I am concered that this will bw poblematic...the nail is split a quart inch-ish into the nail.

so when the nail grows, it'll be prone to snagging.

evidently the knofe was much sharper than I thoght.

I care, Wanda.
But I'm surprised you still think you can get these guys to agree that Garofalo's not perfect. The part they see, or want to see, of her is perfect.

This is a lost cause. I agree with what you're saying, and I hope you can hear me when I say, I really wish you could let go of this idea that S & J can be totally professional. They can't always, but they can come close enough. They are entertainers, first and foremost.

But I think I understand why you worry.
My art teacher, a few months ago, said what she really didn't like was that entertainers have gotten into politics. I felt she was probably alluding to Garofalo, so I countered with, "Well who should we leave politics up to? The politicians?? I think EVERYONE should have an opinion, I think the consequences we will have to endure are far too important. We can't leave our destinies to the politicians. If an entertainer can get the message I agree with out, more power to her."

I know I'm just jumping in here uninvited, but that's my 2 cents.

Halftime for Gonzo

book review for "HEY RUBE -- Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness: Modern History From the Sports Desk," By Hunter S. Thompson

(...)

A case can be made, in fact, that the drug that Thompson really gets high on is outrage. "Fear and loathing" has been his mantra for more than three decades, and these columns contain plenty of evidence that it's still what keeps him going. In his first ESPN piece, written in November 2000, he warned readers that "we are living in dangerously weird times now," and even though one senses that he's writing on autopilot, the theme is Thompson to the core. Two years later, with the aftershocks of the 2001 terrorist attacks still reverberating, he insisted that "we are living in unnaturally savage times, folks," and in the summer of 2003, with "that stupid, fraudulent" war in Iraq going from bad to worse for the Bush administration, his outrage peaked:

"The American nation is in the worst condition I can remember in my lifetime, and our prospects for the immediate future are even worse. I am surprised and embarrassed to be a part of the first American generation to leave the country in far worse shape than it was when we first came into it. Our highway system is crumbling, our police are dishonest, our children are poor, our vaunted Social Security, once the envy of the world, has been looted and neglected and destroyed by the same gang of ignorant, greed-crazed bastards who brought us Vietnam, Afghanistan, the disastrous Gaza Strip, and ignominious defeat all over the world."

How about that, sports fans? Not exactly the usual bill of fare at ESPN, which allowed the outspoken, opinionated Keith Olbermann to take a hike seven years ago and which does some of the stupider (as well as some of the smarter) sports programming on television. Presumably Thompson gets away with it because (a) he's Hunter S. Thompson, a nice byline that ESPN can dangle as evidence of its higher purposes, and (b) his columns are published in the relative anonymity of the Internet.

It's not hypocrisy. Arnold isn't an entertainer anymore. He's a politician who use to be an entertainer, whereas Janeane is an entertainer who dabbles in politics, a dilettante.

In addition, no one is stopping entertainers from having an opinion, but if an actor wants to shoot off his/her mouth, expect to be called it.

Fred = Wanda??

Speaking of arnold...isn't it just an amasing co-incidence that Arnold attended Cheney's secert energy policy meetings way back when.

he's there (inexplicably invited as a private citizen) rubbing shoulders with Kenny Boy and Darrell Issa and next thing you know Arnold is elected govenor of CA!

and even stranger when you consider that Issa and Enron had key parts in putting him in office.

If it wasn't for Lay's corrupt corporation gaming CA's energy grid to the disadvantage of the tax-payer's Issa would have never been able to get a recall vote.

BTW, how did that work out?

Did arnold fix the problem?

or is he simply pushing the neo-con anti-labor agenda?

Arnold was an active actor when he ran for office.

undisputable.

He still has a peojectin the can.

what part of that do you have a problem with?

2)What is stopping Janeane from running for political office?

My art teacher's point, which you missed completely, was that we should leave politics up to the politicians.

That a classic sheeple proposition, especially when your party has effected a coup, but it's not democracy. We are entitled to free speech, at least for the time being, so we can EXPRESS what we like or don't like about anything.

I wasn't telling her she didn't have the right to criticise entertainers who step into the ring, I replied to her opinion that entertainers shouldn't voice their opinions about politics to begin with. I thought I made that clear.

However, maybe she was referring to Rush/Bill/Sean who are merely an echo chamber for the right wing agenda, entertaining the easily led, easily amused, and non-critical thinkers.

1)Since Arnold became governor, how many movies has he been in?

One. the kid and I. it is in post production.

2)What is stopping Janeane from running for political office?

The left's opinion is getting out there. People just aren't buying what you are selling, and you can't handle it.

With regard to celebrity's opinions, the only reason Janeane is on so many shows giving her opinion is because she is a celebrity. So why should her opinions be given more weight than a plumber's or an electrician's?

Big of you to acknowledge that it ISN'T a Liberal media - yet.

I would think that almost anyone who has made themselves a public recognized ennity and who has a ego could join a political pary and run for office. Being able to fianace part of your own campaign is also a good cryteria. Ronny RayGun was a rather poor actor who made it to the presidency because of his ability to make the public beleive that he was what he wanted to appear to be. His acting ability may have been a great aid in that reguard.

I can't believe SYNA is trying to say Janeane should keeep her oppinions to herself (reality check: Janeane hosts a national radio broadcast) because she is not running for office...

well, Arnold wasn't very political until he ran for office!

Should O'Reilly, Hanity, Rush, et al, be discluded from discussing politics because they don't run for office?

On the other hand, True Dat, I can handle it myself.

...Bridge of Love Worldwide :: David Icke Books :: INFINITE LOVE IS THE ONLY TRUTH, EVERYTHING ELSE IS ILLUSION....----....
INFINITE LOVE IS THE ONLY TRUTH, EVERYTHING ELSE IS ILLUSION. #12...---...

Exposing the dream world we believe to be 'real'.
Quite simply, the cutting edge just moved!
Never before has a book explained with such clarity why ‘physical’ reality is merely an illusion that only exists in our brain.
Why the ‘world’ is a virtual reality game that only exists because we believe it does.
Fantastic? Sure it is. But David Icke’s information, presented in a way that everyone can understand, is a life-changing exposure of both the illusion we believe to be ‘real’ and the way this illusion is generated and manipulated to imprison us in a false reality.
Icke explains how we ‘live’in a ‘holographic internet’ in that our brains are connected to a central ‘computer’ that feeds us the same collective reality that we decode from waveforms and electrical signals into the holographic 3D ‘world’ that we all think we see.
As Icke points out, the various disciplines of mainstream science have already discovered much of this information, but the parts have never been put together. They have focussed on the twigs and not seen the forest because the forces manipulating global society have no wish for us to know the truth that will set us free.
The so-called ‘mysteries’ of life dissolve with every page. Who are we? What are we doing here?
What is the human body and how can it cease to ‘age’? Who is controlling our reality?
Why is there so much war, hunger, suffering and stress? What is ‘mind’ and ‘emotion’ and why do they control us? Who created religion and what are its advocates really worshipping?
These questions and so many more are explained with a coherence and simplicity rarely, if ever, seen before. David Icke’s narrative, supported by Neil Hague’s superb illustrations, will change the reality – the ‘life’ – of everyone who has the courage to read it.
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift
and the rational mind is a faithful servant.

and the rational mind is a faithful servant.
We have created a society that honours the servant

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

Quoted in 1918, by REPUBLICAN President Theodore Roosevelt...what would Teddy say now?

After the passage of the Sedition Act in 1798, Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter:

“A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt ...

If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake.”

NW: So, the last time we talked you were diving into some intriguing explorations into the nature of reality. Where has that gone since we talked last, David?

...DI: Well over the last year to 18 months the way I’ve been working and the way that life has been pushing me has been almost entirely into the realms of what is reality, how do we create it and, most significantly, in relation to the research into the conspiracies I’ve been doing all these years and how is our sense of reality manipulated to make us easy to control. In January of last year I reached a point where I decided I was going to see if I could experience other realms of existence – other realms of reality – and observe this one from that point of observation because as the years have unfolded and I’ve been doing more and more of this, if you like, five sense research – names, dates, places & connections – into the global agenda for this centralized world fascist state, that I’ve been talking about all these years which is now unfolding, of course, right in front of our eyes… I started to realize I could only go so far with that. Because there were other levels to this and certainly those other levels contain the solutions to all these five sense manipulations that I was coming across.

...I remember saying to my wife when I was coming to the end of the book before the last one – Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster -- that if I was going to go to the next stage of understanding all this, I had to experience other realms. And not in some dream state in sleep like ‘did I really experience that?’ but actually in solid awareness. And as coincidence would have it, I was invited, just after I finished that book, to go to the Amazon Rain Forest in January of 2003 and take something called Ayahuasca which is a plant – a rain forest plant – which they turn in to what they call a turn and Shaman in South America have been using it for centuries at least to take people into other realms of reality.

...I could have taken it (Ayahuasca) about four times but I took it twice and it was an experience – particularly on the 2nd night – that completely transformed my view of life. What it did was take my intellectual

And as coincidence would have it, I was invited, just after I finished that book, to go to the Amazon Rain Forest in January of 2003 and take something called Ayahuasca which is a plant – a rain forest plant – which they turn in to what they call a turn and Shaman in South America have been using it for centuries at least to take people into other realms of reality.

...I could have taken it (Ayahuasca) about four times but I took it twice and it was an experience – particularly on the 2nd night – that completely transformed my view of life. What it did was take my intellectual understanding o that the world is an illusion into the realms of knowing it’s an illusion and there’s a difference between intellectually understanding it’s an illusion and this level of knowing it because you’ve experienced it. I got to the age of 50 without taking a single magic mushroom and I never even had one smoke of pot or anything. I’ve never taken any of this stuff but I just felt that the synchronicity of this whole situation - I was going to go with it. So I took it and on the first night I took this tea that tasted a bit like licorice and for about 2 hours or so, I went into other realms and some amazing things happened.

...First of all, I felt this enormous energy coming out of the heart chakra area, or into the heart chakra area and then out again in an arch to my head and it was so clear feeling that arch of energy from my heart chakra to my head and other energy coming into the heart chakra. I was in this dark room – just me and a guy who was observing me and who is an expert in this whole Ayahuasca stuff --- and suddenly out of no where, this strip light came on, and then a 2nd one and then a 3rd one. The energy in the room was extraordinary!

...I remember laying there. What happens when you take Ayahuasca is when you close your eyes, you’re in another realm and when you open them , you are back in five sense reality and it’s very very interesting to observe the two. . What happens, however, is your eyes don’t want to stay open that long. They want to close, so you go back to where you were. But I remember opening my eyes and seeing these strip lights coming on and thinking what the heck

But I remember opening my eyes and seeing these strip lights coming on and thinking what the heck is the guy turning the lights on for? It turns out he hadn’t. He hadn’t touched the strip lights at all. They’d come on all on their own. And the music he was playing – that kept stopping and starting without him doing anything to it., so the re was a tremendous energy in the room.

...Over that night and particularly on the 2nd night, where I went into this other state of awareness for like five hours, a voice spoke to me. It was a very clear female voice or a female form is what it took as clear as mine is now in which it talked to me for all these hours about the nature of reality and how we create it. It was pointing out that this world we think is real is actually an illusion generated by our minds and, not least, generated by our belief in what is real.

...Basically, what we believe to be real is what we experience as real.

...But it’s just a figment of our imagination.

...And the “Matrix” as I refer to it (and the voice referred to it as the Matrix as well) is actually a gigantic thought form which we got caught in and what’s catching us in the web, if you like, is that we think what we’re experiencing here – what we’re seeing - is real.

...And, as it was pointing out, the only difference between the dreams we have in sleep and the dream we’re having now is we take this dream to be real. And illusions can only control us when we think they are real. When we know they’re illusions , they lose their control over us. And so we’re living in a world that is so similar to the world portrayed in the first matrix movie - a world in which we’re in a dream world that we think is real.

...There was hours and hours of this stuff which I detail in Time Loop (my new book Tales of the Time Loop) but when I came back to England, I started looking into Quantum Physics and psychological research in the mainstream of science, if you like, to see if there was a correlation between what this voice told me in this other state of awareness and we call mainstream science , and I found the two correlated incredibly. The thing about science is that people don’t talk to each other, s

...There was hours and hours of this stuff which I detail in Time Loop (my new book Tales of the Time Loop) but when I came back to England, I started looking into Quantum Physics and psychological research in the mainstream of science, if you like, to see if there was a correlation between what this voice told me in this other state of awareness and we call mainstream science , and I found the two correlated incredibly. The thing about science is that people don’t talk to each other, so this area of research establishes this information and over here, somewhere else in another discipline or another place, this area of research comes to this conclusion and decide this information is true. But they don’t talk to each other. And so this idea that this world is solid , is real and is the only world that exists is still the prevailing idea that comes out of science, as a whole. Where when you look at the individual areas of research within it, the fact that this world is an illusion is already a provable fact. For instance, the room that is around me now is made up of atoms – this so = called solid wall. Well, when you look at the inside of an atom, it’s about as empty as anything you can get. One physicist was pointing out that if you take an atom to be the size of a cathedral , then the particles within it are about the size of a 10 cent piece. The rest is – in this reality – empty space.

...Therefore, how can something that is almost entirely not solid, make up this solid wall that’s in front of me now? It can’t. Our minds do it.

...The real point where big pennies started to drop for me was when I read of the research that shows that the only place that this world – the room that I’m in now, the room that you’re in now, and the room the listeners (readers) are in – the only place that exists is actually in the brain. It doesn’t exist outside of us – it exists inside of us because when information enters the eyes, it’s in nothing like the form that we think we’re looking at.. First of all, it’s upside down. It’s two dimensional and it’s in a very different form to the world we think we’re looking at. What then happens is this information travels through the brain to the visual cortex at the b

...The real point where big pennies started to drop for me was when I read of the research that shows that the only place that this world – the room that I’m in now, the room that you’re in now, and the room the listeners (readers) are in – the only place that exists is actually in the brain. It doesn’t exist outside of us – it exists inside of us because when information enters the eyes, it’s in nothing like the form that we think we’re looking at.. First of all, it’s upside down. It’s two dimensional and it’s in a very different form to the world we think we’re looking at. What then happens is this information travels through the brain to the visual cortex at the back, The visual cortex is actually where this world actually exists in movie form, if you like. We create it.. And as the information passes through different levels of the brain, from the eyes to the visual cortex, a massive editing process takes place in which, according to at least some research, up to and sometimes more than 50 per cent of the information that enters the eyes is changed. Detail is taken out that is there and detail is put in that isn’t there. And what they’ve found is that this editing process is done on the basis of that person’s belief in what is real. So information enters the eye, it goes through the editing caused by the belief, and, by the time it hits the visual cortex in the brain and registers as this world we think is around us, it is a world based on our belief in what is real.

...“Once you start to realize that we are what we believe and we experience what we believe, a very simple equation follows: He who controls the belief, controls the experience.”

...What we have done as the human race is we have conceded our right to create OUR reality and instead we are creating an externally implanted sense of reality. One of the things I did in researching Time Loop was to go and see a stage hypnotist at work and that is precisely the situation that we face. This conspiracy I’ve been talking about all these years -- at its foundation and without which it couldn’t prosper, is the manipulation of our sense of reality, And they do it in precisely the same way that a stage hypnotist does it. The hypnotist get

This conspiracy I’ve been talking about all these years -- at its foundation and without which it couldn’t prosper, is the manipulation of our sense of reality, And they do it in precisely the same way that a stage hypnotist does it. The hypnotist gets the subjects on the stage and he implants into their subconscious a belief in what is reall, for example. There’s a giraffe in the audience or the woman next to them is naked. That belief then dictates the subjects sense of reality so what happens is that the information enters the eyes of the subject – of course without a giraffe in the audience and with the woman next to them fully clothed. But then it goes through the editing process of the implanted belief by the hypnotist and it then re-arranges reality on the basis of that belief and it puts the giraffe in the room and it takes the clothes off the lady next to them so by the time the information hits the visual cortex and becomes what we think we’re looking at, that reality is re-arranged.

...And when you think about it, we have a stage hypnotist in the corner of every room called the television. We have stage hypnotists giving our children and young people a version of reality – a belief in what is real in what we laughingly call the education system. Once people, as a whole, take on this implanted belief in what is real, they then confirm to people around them that what they are looking at is actually true. It is real because I can see it too. And then along comes a few people who have gone beyond that and have realized that it’s an illusion and they’re basically saying to them “hey – there’s no giraffe in the room! Honest – there’s not!” And they look at such people and they go “you’re mad! What do you mean there’s no giraffe in the room ? I can see it, mate. Don’t be silly!””

...And you see this editing of reality all the time. ………. So this whole process of how we create reality is at the very forefront, Nicole, of what I’m doing now because it is the bottom line of how we’re controlled and it is the frontline of how we take our power back and literally think this control and conspiracy and prison out of existence and think and believe, if you like, another existence into real

...And you see this editing of reality all the time. ………. So this whole process of how we create reality is at the very forefront, Nicole, of what I’m doing now because it is the bottom line of how we’re controlled and it is the frontline of how we take our power back and literally think this control and conspiracy and prison out of existence and think and believe, if you like, another existence into reality.

NW: So how exactly can we think away something that seems so solid?

...DI: Well you don’t have to just think it away – you can experience it while being aware of what it is . In other words, you can use the illusion to your benefit instead of letting the illusion use you . Life I’ve said in my books, we need to live life and not let life live us. What happens for most people is life lives them and they’re just basically sheep in a pen or sheep following someone in front instead of them dictating their own reality and their own experience and we don’t do it, overwhelmingly, because we believe – because of the information we get from cradle to grave – that we have the power to do it. Therefore, we don’t do it.

...This is why we are bombarded constantly throughout our experience – our lives here – with negative things about ourselves; about “we’re ordinary men and women in the street; we have no power; we can’t do this; we can’t do that’ … We live in an “I can’t” society. It may masquerade as an “I can” society but the “you can” bit is as long as you operate within the parameters of the Matrix – of the illusion – which, as you start challenging the illusion, you suddenly realize it’s an “I can’t “ society. So if you take on the belief, for instance, that you are ordinary and powerless, then you are going to experience ordinary and powerless lives because that’s what you’re going to create. That’s what you are going to experience. What eve the information coming in through the eyes, you are going to edit that to support the belief that you are ordinary and powerless.

...This is the real information. And of course the illuminati don’t want us to know about their secret societies networks. They don’t want us to know about the agenda for the global fascist state – the big brother society .

...”Of course they don’t want us to know that, but the biggest, biggest BIGGEST thing they don’t want us to know is that we are creating our own reality and that we have the power to create a reality that’s a paradise or a reality that’s a prison or somewhere in between. We are the ones with the power because we are generating the experience and the world we think is around us when it’s really within us.”

...That’s the power that will set us free. This is why they have worked so hard to suppress it. They want us to believe that we are ordinary and powerless. They want us to believe that this world is solid and the only world that there is or that there is some god sitting in paradise and – only if you do as you’re told according to the rules and regulations in this solid world – do you get into paradise afterwards. All these things are used to disconnect us from the fact that we are generating our own reality and it’s an illusion . It’s a dream world.

...Now, we can generate a nice dream in which we have power over our own destiny and we live in a paradise or we can generate a nightmare in which we are ordinary, powerless and are controlled by the few to a very, very dark agenda which is one we are currently, on the whole, choosing to create. But we don’t have to. We can change it any time we want.

...One thing this voice in brazil said to me is “there’s really only one thing you really need to know….. Infinite love is the only truth and everything else is illusion.”

...It was saying that understanding that we are all one consciousness is something that we are seeking to return to and it is the thing over everything else that the manipulators are seeking to deny us the understanding of. They want us to believe in duality. They want us to believe we are all divided – that we’re all single entities, if you like. That is a recipe for limitless conflict and limitless divide-and-rule because the fault lines that divide us all are infinite when you bel

That is a recipe for limitless conflict and limitless divide-and-rule because the fault lines that divide us all are infinite when you believe in that sense of reality.

...NW: So what about the perceived illusion of time?

...DI: What the voice in Brazil said to me was that this five sense level of the Matrix – it referred to it as “the time loop” because it said this realm of manufactured time was the most dense level of the Matrix and was therefore the most important to it because of the negative energy that it generated to fuel the whole Matrix which is based on overwhelmingly negative energy and our belief in time is fundamental to our disconnection from oneness because oneness is no time. Oneness is just NOW. There is no past. There is no future. There’s just now. And so if oneness is no time , if you believe in the passage of time and you connect to the passage of time, and you flow with a belief in this manufactured belief in the passage of time, by the very nature, time will disconnect you from no time. Time is a real real big disconnecter and when you look at the history of how the present version of time was created, the very same secret societies that have been involved in the banking system and manipulation of politics and all that over the centuries , they were involved in the creation of time as we experience it.

...NW: So timeless, non-vibrational existence is here and we’ve just forgotten, as opposed to it being somewhere else?

...DI: As this voice in Brazil was emphasizing, it’s not that this realm is not part of oneness or that oneness is, as you put it, somewhere else. The difference is oneness in awareness of itself and oneness not in awareness of itself and we are in that realm of non-awareness.

...NW: So how we use this information to start transforming your own world now?

...DI: Well, it’s a challenge and I ‘m not sitting here saying it’s easy because there are different levels of this and I can go into states of being, especially on stage where I go into a completely different state of being, where all these things are self evident. But there are other times where you get pulled in to the illusion and you start reacting to the illusion instead of holding that understanding that that’s what it is – an illusion. The division’s an illusion. What the person’s saying to you is an illusion and you’re interpreting what they’re saying in your own way based on your belief. What I’ve realized about my own life, and it’s made it a real challenge, is I’ve got one foot in this world and one foot in another world. One foot in this reality and one foot in the reality I experienced in Brazil. You know, there’s a lot of people who are spiritually aware, but they can’t connect with the next person to walk past this house because they’re somewhere else. There has to be a bridge between the world we’re experiencing that most people think is real and the oneness that we are. There has to be a bridge that people can walk across. So I experience this world very much as a five sense person. I experience all of the emotions; I experience all of the frustrations; I experience all the things that everyone else is experiencing and I have done, of course, since I was born here. But there is another level of me that is increasingly aware that it is all an illusion. Where my life is taking me now is focusing more and more on this bridge so we can bring this awareness of oneness – the infinite one that we all are – that we are not droplets of water in an ocean, even, but that we are the ocean – bringing that into people’s daily experience where they are worrying about how to pay the mortgage, worrying about this, worrying about that, pres

From The Mirror (UK)

NAILED BY MAIL by Paul Routledge

WONDERFUL thing, email.

I have been sent a copy of a letter from Kenneth Lay - the ex-boss of the bankrupt Enron Corporation awaiting trial on corruption charges - to George W Bush when he was governor of Texas.

It introduces Sadyq Safaev, Uzbekistan's ambassador to the USA and "senior foreign adviser" to the barbarous dictator Islam Karimov, to Bush in 1997.

The letter says: "Enron has established an office in Tashkent and we are negotiating a $2billion joint venture with Neftegas of Uzbekistan and Gazprom of Russia to develop Uzbekistan's natural gas and transport it to markets in Europe, Kazakhstan and Turkey.

"This can bring significant economic opportunities to Texas as well as Uzbekistan. The political benefits to the US and Uzbekistan are important to the entire region."

Lay is "delighted" Bush is meeting Safaev and predicts their talks will be "productive".

So there you have it. George Dubya Bush is directly linked to tainted big business and the vile regime in Tashkent, which last month slaughtered at least 500 of its own citizens in cold blood.

Once in the White House, Bush lost no time in putting an air base in Uzbekistan, ostensibly to wage the so-called war against terror but in fact to prop up Karimov and extend the USA's military range.

And this is the man our Prime Minister is happy to call his friend.

Saddam’s Complaint

I was house-sitting at the ranch in Crawford, Texas
watching a little cable and baggin’ some rays.
Kinda wishing I was back in my palace
I was thinking ‘bout the good old days.

Was a little before noon just this Saturday
when G-Dub done gave me a ring.
Said there’d be a jet picking me up in an hour
and not to bring anything.

I was like, “Boss-man, what’s up?...who’s gonna look after your ranch
while you’re livin’ it up in D.C.?”
He said, “Dean’s giving a foreign policy speech on Monday, …
and there’s another place you gotta be.”

So I got on the plane and now I’m back in Iraq,
Got jet lag and I’m feelin’ a little cruddy.
I told G-Dub’s henchmen, “What’s going on, I thought we had a deal…”
And one of ‘em said, “Get in the hole, buddy.”

Look SYNA we have a new playmate!!!

MBL you get sloppy seconds.

Now Bush and Bin Laden have even begun to borrow each other's rhetoric. Each refers to the other as the 'head of the snake'. Both invoke God and use the loose millenarian currency of good and evil as their terms of reference.

Both are engaged in unequivocal political crimes. Both are dangerously armed - one with the nuclear arsenal of the obscenely powerful, the other with the incandescent, destructive power of the utterly hopeless. The fireball and the ice pick. The bludgeon and the axe. The important thing to keep in mind is that neither is an acceptable alternative to the other. President Bush's ultimatum to the people of the world - If you're not with us, you're against us - is a piece of presumptuous arrogance. It's not a choice that people want to, need to, or should have to make.

Tell the Truth About Iraq

Last month the Times of London published a “smoking gun” memo on President Bush’s lies leading up to the Iraq war. Six months before the invasion the administration admitted to British officials that, contrary to what the American public was told, the White House was determined to go to war and was “fixing” intelligence on WMDs to justify the move.

Bush has refused to address the evidence in the "Downing Street Memo," but pressure is building from the people and the press. Representative John Conyers has launched a citizens petition to demand answers. When we reach 500,000 signers Rep. Conyers will personally deliver your comments to the gates of the White House. Help get out the truth – please sign today.

Most of the jobs at Walmart are the entry-level type. They give people who are new to the workplace a chance to gain experience. Those jobs aren't meant to be careers. Would these same employees make more money if they worked as a cashier for a mom & pop store? Would they have health bennys in that environment? I worked for small businesses when I was in high school and college, and I didn't have health bennys.

only part of it. A lot of smart people argue the labor cost structure is only part of the problem, and relatively small. Toyota for eg. arguably has some serious labor cost in some of their market but they still kicks ass. It's their entire business model and management. Total moronic.

I think long term GM is a goner, once the chinese enters the car market in big way in 5 years, they gonna do chrysler style suicide. GM can't compete in the global market they are too addictive to SUV/small truck and car loans. But 5 years are long time ... The first guy who can come up with stylish hybrid wins the next round. Stylish hybrid is the next SUV.

yes. they are entry leevel...but that is no reason to under pay family bread winners minimum wage.

it is utter fabrication to contend the majority of people holding these positions are new to the work force.

as far as the mom and pop stores?

Walmart does not.

Walmart, on the other hand...

job displacement tho. Walmart may give several dozen entry level new jobs, but in small towns, they kill several hundreds job by closing in local groceries, mom and pop specialty shops, Kmart,... etc. It rips the core of small town.

the effect is real. I think what's more dangerous, Walmart size is so big, they can bend the rule. That's the unfair part.

I don't know if it a matter of being addicted as it is slow turnaround time from idea to marketplace. GM is like a big luxury liner. It takes forever to turn around.

Ironically, the success of China might be a long run blessing for manufacturing in this country, as labor costs will eventually have to rise, and level the manufacturing playing field. Somewhere down the road we might actually start making things here again.

It's called being moderate. Of course, you wouldn't know that moderates exist as everyone who presents a moderate point of view on this blog is villified and called a wingnut.

Face it, this is a left-wing-kook-only blog. Unless you're willing to be a "troll" you have to go along with the "wacko" position, vis a vis, the election was stolen, the NY TIMES is a right wing paper, Bush is a Nazi etc.

In this Relentless Bolivian Revolution, Media Matters

By Benjamin Melançon,

Posted on Fri Jun 10th, 2005 at 06:55:38 PM EST

The Bolivian people did it. With one death – a terrible cost, but among the best lives-to-change ratios of any mass uprising – the powerful Bolivian movements for social justice removed two more would-be presidents, thwarted plots to begin brutal repression and perhaps even U.S. military intervention, and set the stage for their demands to be addressed at last.

Such success doesn't come from luck or two weeks' work. Epitomized by the ERBOL radio network, the Bolivian social movements have constructed a media that reflects the people's needs.

Those jobs aren't meant to be careers. Would these same employees make more money if they worked as a cashier for a mom & pop store? Would they have health bennys in that environment? I worked for small businesses when I was in high school and college, and I didn't have health bennys.

Posted by: SYNA at June 11, 2005 05:27 PM

So why should anyone make more than min wage?
Slavery or the improved version of slavery called sharecropping, are both more profitable alternatives.

And since the wealthy can now purchase laws and the people who make them, why not purchase a law that makes it impossible for a worker to find a better job.

What say we use immigration laws to accomplish this, allowing lots of low wage workers to enter the country both legally and illegally?

From 1961 to 1970 total legal immigration was 3,321,677 but from 1991 to 2000 it had increased threefold to 9,095,417 not including the increase in illegal immigration.
From 1949 through 1973, the median income rose an average of 3.1% per year. Since then the increase has been only 0.2% per year ? barely any gain at all.

If the earlier trend had continued, the typical American family's income today would be more than twice as large as it is. Some say factoring in the ?real? rate of inflation -at about 9% for working families- it would be three times what it is today.

When slavery ended the profits of the plantations actually increased under sharecropping. So what are the differences between sharecropping and what the average worker sees today?

Why don't you go to a conservative blog or two and see just how out of touch I am.

Hate to break it to you, pal, but right wing blogs are way more respectful than this one. If you don't act like a jerk, unfortunately an impossibility for you, you'll be able to debate your points.

But you don't want to do that, because you'll be exposed.

Do you really think your gaining convertS here? And don't say you don't need them, as I just pointed out the make-up of the Congress, Senate, and Prez.

Bush's job approval came in today at 43 percent and congress is at 31 percent. I guess we are getting the converts that the "kid" is talking about!

no, it's not called being a moderate

it's called hopping on the bandwagon, w@w

i know what a moderate is and it ain't you

you are an sniveling apologist who delights in making excuses for right-wing radicalism and picking what you think is the low-hanging fruit of the "looney left"

you need someone to feel superior to and you exercise that need here

"face it", there are many, many good points mixed in with the so-called "wacko" positions taken here

"face it", you are as susceptible to reactionaryism as anyone here

you might also "face it", in acknowledging that being a moderate (not by conviction, but by fear of ridicule in your case) in a time of reactionary power politics exercised by reality-denying radicals is an apologist loser's game

(it'd be one thing if all of these machiavellian machinations worked, but -- surprise! -- they don't; no excuses)

"face it" syna, you exemplify why this country cannot comes to grips with its failed leadership

it is exactly persons like yourself who make the bush administration seem viable when it is so clearly not

is lying a country into a war (that is failing) not an impeachable offense?

if not, why not?

Frankly, I don't know why you're so gung-ho to be accepted in this loony bin, as you've been called a troll time and time again, and for what? Expressing rational points of view. That's what.

You mean the Star Chamber I've heard so much about?

Profits come from paying employees less than the value they add to production.
Conflict between capitalists and workers is inherent in a capitalist system. Workers try to raise their wages and improve their working conditions. Employers try to limit wages and increase the amount of work done per hour. The employer has the upper hand because workers fear losing their job and the unemployment that awaits them.
Workers can improve their economic situation by forming unions and other organizations. The more disunity among workers, the weaker their ability to effectively challenge the employer. This insight is central to the union analysis of racism, which focuses on attempts by capitalists to divide black, hispanic and white workers. If white workers identify primarily as whites, rather than as workers, they will not act in their common class interests with black and hispanic workers. The way to end racial oppression and class exploitation is an interracial and united working class.

"Conflict between capitalists and workers is inherent in a capitalist system."

That occurs when capitalism is approached as a way to enhance the resource control (economic power) of a few individuals at the expense of the common denominator, i.e. when it's done wrong. The way we do it now.

We didn't always do it wrong. The founders of this nation didn't want to be ruled by the british shipping and trade concerns any more than they did by the crown, or Church of England.

http://www.reclaimdemocracy.org/corporate_accountability/history_corporations_us.html

The LLC structure allows for peer-owned and run companies that operate on any number of variations of whole or compartmentalized majority or concensus operation. Conspicuous consumerism is among the most crass and dysfunctional forms of consumerism.

hi John Iceknife

If you do not love me it is because you are full of hate. I do not care because everyone else here loves me very much, even if they can't always show it because I challenge their little minds. They need me and they know it and are afraid to say so. You are the only hater here and you should leave because now you will secretly be very unpopular.

Ironically, the success of China might be a long run blessing for manufacturing in this country, as labor costs will eventually have to rise, and level the manufacturing playing field. Somewhere down the road we might actually start making things here again.

You GOT to be kidding right? You think China is not watching what the Korean and Japanese did in the 70's 80's and 90's? You think they gonna keep making crappy sub compact car? Consider Hyundai. They were the butt joke of car industry in the 80's. But now they are one of the top ten car makers globally.

My point, you are betting everybody has as flat learning curve as detroit fat cats. What happen if the chinese car makers have steeper learning curve than Hyundai or Honda? then what? what happen if Cherry car starts introducing low cost hybrid compact car in 2009? Just like Honda introducing low coast sub compact family car in the late 80's (accord anybody? how about civic?)

PetroChina buys assets

11/6/2005 9:15

Petrochina Company Limited announced yesterday it will acquire overseas assets from its parent, China National Petroleum Corporation, China's largest oil producer, for 20.74 billion yuan (US$2.5 billion).
By taking over the assets, PetroChina hopes to boost its reserves portfolio, promote overseas business development and enhance corporate value in the long run, said Chen Geng, chairman of PetroChina.
According to the agreement, the acquisition will allow PetroChina to own 50 percent of Newco, a subsidiary of CNPC. It will give PetroChina access to Newco's oil and gas assets in 10 countries - Kazakhstan, Venezuela, Algeria, Peru, Oman, Azerbaijan, Canada, Ecuador, Niger and Chad.
To streamline its existing overseas businesses with the planned acquisition, PetroChina also agreed to transfer the entire issued share capital of its wholly-owned subsidiary PetroChina International Ltd to Newco for 579.35 billion yuan.
After the completion of the deal, PetroChina International, which mainly engages in oil and gas exploration and production in Indonesia, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newco.
In addition, PetroChina will be able to diversify its overseas exploration by tapping into Central Asia, South America, Middle East and Africa, which have abundant oil and gas resources, and increase substantially its overseas net proven reserves and production.
China's demand for oil more than doubled in the past decade as economic growth averaged 8.7 percent a year, prompting the government to encourage oil companies to invest overseas. CNOOC Ltd, China's third-largest oil producer, on Tuesday said it may bid for Unocal Corp, rivaling a US$16.4 billion offer by Chevron Corp.
PetroChina's purchase will boost PetroChina's proved oil and gas reserves by 4.3 percent and output by 5.4 percent, based on 2004 figures.
Shares of PetroChina have risen 31 percent this year, compared with the 2.1 percent decline in the benchmark Hang Seng Index.

Aiyar in Teheran, deal on purchase of gas likely

Atul Aneja

The agreement envisages supply of five million tonnes of gas annually

MANAMA: After stating India's intent to buy oil produced in the Caspian Sea basin, Petroleum Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar has begun his visit to Iran as part of an effort to find ways to funnel Persian Gulf gas into the subcontinent.

[--]

Significantly, the Chinese State oil company Sinopec (China National Petroleum and Chemical Corp) will operate the Yadavaran field, with a 50 per cent shareholding. Apart from the Indian stake in this field, Iran will retain the remaining 30 per cent share, anchoring a three-way tie-up involving Beijing, New Delhi and Teheran. With an eye on the Persian Gulf's gas reserves, Mr. Aiyar will travel to Qatar after completing his Iran visit on June 13. There, he is expected to explore the possibility of extending the proposed Gulf -South Asia (GUSA) pipeline to India. As of now the proposal envisages construction of a 1,186-km pipeline from Qatar to Pakistan, through the United Arab Emirates.

China: Beijing Looking For Solutions To Energy Concerns

But China's efforts to secure reliable supplies of oil and natural gas around the world reflect just how strong the country's thirst for fossil fuels has become. The country is scrambling against other economic powers to secure sources of fossil fuels in the Caspian Sea region, Russia, Western Africa, Iraq, Iran, and Libya.

Beijing is also developing the exploration of its own resources. Zhang Zhenwen is the director of state-owned PetroChina's natural gas purifying plant in Changqing, also in Shaanxi province.

Antiterror Head Will Help Choose an F.B.I. Official

By DAVID JOHNSTON
Published: June 12, 2005

WASHINGTON, June 11 - Under pressure from the White House, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has agreed to adopt the recommendations of a presidential commission and will allow the director of national intelligence, John D. Negroponte, to help choose a powerful intelligence chief at the F.B.I., Bush administration officials say.

Skip to next paragraph

The appointment would for the first time in the bureau's history give an outsider a significant role in the selection of a high-level official at the F.B.I., an agency long regarded by its critics as fiercely protective of its turf and resistant to change. The intelligence chief, who will be chosen jointly by Mr. Negroponte and the director of the F.B.I., Robert S. Mueller III, would have the tentative title of associate director for intelligence and in effect be the third-ranking official at the bureau

Don't Follow the Money

By FRANK RICH

Published: June 12, 2005
THE morning the Deep Throat story broke, the voice on my answering machine was as raspy as Hal Holbrook's. "I just want you to remember that I wrote 'Follow the money,' " said my caller. "I want to know if anybody will give me credit. Watch for the accuracy of the media!"

(...)

This confusion of Hollywood's version of history with the genuine article would quickly prove symptomatic of the overall unreality of the Deep Throat coverage. Was Mr. Felt a hero or a villain? Should he "follow the money" into a book deal, and if so, how would a 91-year-old showing signs of dementia either write a book or schmooze about it with Larry King? How did Vanity Fair scoop The Post? How does Robert Redford feel about it all? Such were the questions that killed time for a nation awaiting the much-heralded feature mediathon, the Michael Jackson verdict.

Richard Nixon and Watergate itself, meanwhile, were often reduced to footnotes. Three years ago, on Watergate's 30th anniversary, an ABC News poll found that two-thirds of Americans couldn't explain what the scandal was, and no one was racing to enlighten them this time around. Vanity Fair may have taken the trouble to remind us that Watergate was a web of crime yielding the convictions and guilty pleas of more than 30 White House and Nixon campaign officials, but few others did. Watergate has gone back to being the "third-rate burglary" of Nixon administration spin. It is once again being covered up.

I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

=Frank Herbert, Dune=

(...)It is once again being covered up.

Not without reason. Had the scandal been vividly resuscitated as the long national nightmare it actually was, it would dampen all the Felt fun by casting harsh light on our own present nightmare. "The fundamental right of Americans, through our free press, to penetrate and criticize the workings of our government is under attack as never before" was how the former Nixon speech writer William Safire put it on this page almost nine months ago. The current administration, a second-term imperial presidency that outstrips Nixon's in hubris by the day, leads the attack, trying to intimidate and snuff out any Woodwards or Bernsteins that might challenge it, any media proprietor like Katharine Graham or editor like Ben Bradlee who might support them and any anonymous source like Deep Throat who might enable them to find what Carl Bernstein calls "the best obtainable version of the truth."

---------IN MY CRAFT OR SULLEN ART-----------

*

In my craft or sullen art

Exercised in the still night

When only the moon rages

And the lovers lie abed

With all their griefs in their arms,

I labour by singing light

Not for the ambition or bread

Or the strut and trade of charms

On the ivory stages

But for the common wages

Of their most secret heart.

Not for the proud man apart

From the raging moon I write

On these spindrift pages

Not for the towering dead

With their nightingales and psalms

But for the lovers, their arms

Round the grief of the ages,

Who pay NO praise or wages

Nor heed my craft or art.

http://majikthise.typepad.com/majikthise_/2005/06/fetuses_arent_b.html

The rest of Feldman's long and insightful post is a discussion of how Democrats should counter accusations of baby-killing. His position is based on his support for Blackmun's position as articulated in his opinion for the court in Roe v. Wade.

Feldman make a good case for abortion despite accepting the faulty premise that the community has a moral right to safeguard "potential life." The "choice" frame looks bad to people who assume that fetuses have moral standing. If you believe that non-viable fetuses have rights, it's less clear why a woman's right to choose should prevail.

The simplest answer is sometimes the best. Abortion is about the a woman's right to choose because fetuses don't have any moral standing, except perhaps towards the very end of pregnancy, and even then their rights pale beside a woman's right to control her own body.

First trimester fetuses have as much moral standing as moles or splinters. They can't think, they can't feel, they can't respond to stimuli. They are lumps of tissue. They should stay or go at the host's* discretion. Hence, the pro-choice line.

Yes.

Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night, 1952

"This poem was written during the final illness of Thomas’ father, D. J. Thomas,who had been a teacher at the Swansen Grammar School."

(...)The July 2002 "Downing Street memo," the minutes of a meeting in which Tony Blair and his advisers learned of a White House effort to fix "the intelligence and facts" to justify the war in Iraq, was published by The London Sunday Times on May 1. Yet in the 19 daily Scott McClellan briefings that followed, the memo was the subject of only 2 out of the approximately 940 questions asked by the White House press corps, according to Eric Boehlert of Salon.

This is the kind of lapdog news media the Nixon White House cherished. To foster it, Nixon's special counsel, Charles W. Colson, embarked on a ruthless program of intimidation that included threatening antitrust action against the networks if they didn't run pro-Nixon stories.

I'm not big on totemization, myself. The mystical American reverence for flag-tokens is especially perplexing to me. The Stars and Stripes isn't even alleged to be the inspired graphic design of God.

Ag industry aims to strip local control of food supplies

Legislation aiming to prevent counties, towns and cities from making local decisions about our food supply is being introduced in states across the nation. Fifteen states recently have introduced legislation removing local control of plants and seeds. Eleven of these states have already passed the provisions into law.

These highly orchestrated industry actions are in response to recent local decisions to safeguard sustainable food systems. To date, initiatives in three California counties have restricted the cultivation of genetically modified crops, livestock, and other organisms and nearly 100 New England towns have passed various resolutions in support of limits on genetically engineered crops.

These laws are industry’s stealth response to a growing effort by people to protect their communities at the local level. Given the impacts of known ecological contamination from genetic modification, local governments absolutely should be given the power to protect the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens. Local restrictions against genetically modified crops have provided a positive and hopeful solution and allowed citizens to take meaningful action in their hometown or county.

“Over the past several years in Iowa, we’ve seen local control taken away for the benefit of the corporate hog industry,” said George Naylor, an Iowa farmer and President of the National Family Farm Coalition. “With these pre-emption laws signed into law, we are now losing our ability to protect ourselves from irresponsible corporations aiming to control the agricultural seeds and plants planted throughout the state.”

According to Kristy Meyer of the Ohio Environmental Council, “The amendment to our House Bill 66 would strip cities and villages of their authority to implement safeguards and standards concerning seeds. Supporting local control is quintessentially American, clearly reasonable, and represents the standards our country was founded upon.”

In the past decade, the same preemptive strategy has been used by the tobacco industry to thwart local efforts to introduce more stringent smoking a

You really are a prick you insensitive bastard!

Reach over to that power button and just push it! It will change your life! Ask anyone who isn't here!

GAWD! just like life in San Diego the blogs has it's pricks.

They are chicken shit pricks but pricks none the less.

Days like today...

make me remember college.

English Lit, to be exact.

one prolific morning, I turned out half adozen poems for an assgnmetn.

I only needed one, but my girlfriends hadn't done their assignments. I kept my best and passed on the rest.

They got B's and My work got a D.

and I kept the good one!

So next time someone is tempted to tell `Mr. Runner Up' about "equal pay for equal work,"
try to keep in mind I do equal work AND am expected to do the heavy lifting.

And, I will see you promoted over me.

So please don't make me hear alot of "White males have it made"

cus that stereotype don't float around here

Well I helped to sweat a pipe today.

it took all day and I used up a shit load of silver sawder. But I learned that you can not stick copper to copper with water still in the pipe!

UGH! BUT it's done and no leaks! and I can flush the toliets now. : ]

I agree with everything except that the internet can be a tremendous job search tool. You can go directly to company sites and see their job openings.

SYNA's compassion is just so moderately neocon.

maybe I should have mentioned I was looking for a job when sending out those 100 or so resumes last week.

A job is not the solution.

Getting paid to blog that is the solution! : ]

It's not me, Wanda. I suspect it's a regular who doesn't want to make him/herself known.

a job certainly is the solution.

I am in no way saying I shouldn't be working.

but when you are not working...

and WANT to be working...

It is frustrating.

This is typically case among people who are out of work for a long time. They tend to sit home, send out resumes and wait for the phone to ring.

Not gonna get it done. You have to pound the pavement. Let people see you. It's not the glamorous answer, but it's the truth.

Contrary to popular belief, I do have compassion. Anyone can lose a job.

why should I buy the paper when I can search the same adds fro free online?

Cool beans! Then you are ready for step two already. This is easy isn't it?

David Lee Roth's Illegitimate Porn Star Daughter

We are Making Porn

Avy Lee Roth makes it clear that David Lee Roth is her father when she attempts to enter the porn biz, an approach that surely should make her able to succeed. Here's what Mandy from MikeyandMandy.com tells me about their latest photo shoot:

"Avy Lee Roth is said to be the illegitimate Spanish-born daughter of
lead singer extraordinaire David Lee Roth (Van Halen, Solo Artist).
David is certainly no prude, in fact, one of his album covers uses the
immortal pin-up girl Betty Paige as its focus. When he was younger, he
loved dressing down in public.

As you can see from Mikey’s photo shoot, Avy has certainly inherited
those genes, but she’s an extra sweet little girl as well. According to
Diamond Dave’s bio, he’s never been married, but doesn’t deny having
offspring, and Avy’s been promoting herself for quite some time as his
little doll and no lawsuits have ensued, so we guess we’ll concede the
relationship is genuine. She smokes well, too, as any good daughter of
a rock star should!

Dave’s album titles include Your Filthy Little Mouth, and Eat ‘Em and
Smile, while Avy stars in movies such as
Inside Job, Who’s Your Daddy? and Mouth to Mouth"

Confirmation of Downing Street Memo

via Laura Flanders, If no one has diaried this yet, well, it deserves another diary. The Times of London has published another memo from its own deep throat. You can read it here:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1650822,00.html

In it, we find that Blair had agreed to support the war as early as April, 2002.

Quote: "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."

Sensenbrenner Sends Letter to Howard Dean Regarding His Latest Personal Attack; Sensenbrenner to Dean: Your Attacks Are Contrary to the Passionate - But Respectful - Political Debate the Public Deserves

===========================================================

From Sensenbrenner:

"In recent days, your delusional outbursts have forced senior members of your own party to distance themselves from your comments. While I agree with your acknowledgment that you're 'not very dignified,' I sincerely hope you refrain from further personal attacks. These attacks are contrary to the passionate - but respectful - political debate the public deserves."

Trade Deficit Bounces Upward to $57 Billion

The U.S. trade deficit increased to $57 billion in April, the Commerce Department said yesterday, bolstering concerns about the country's high and sustained appetite for imports.

The trade deficit hit an all-time high in February of $61 billion but declined in March to $53.6 billion -- a dip some analysts hoped was a sign that the United States' record imbalance between imports and exports was finally beginning to moderate.

Republican Sen. Mel Martinez suggests shutting down Guantanamo Bay prison

By BRENDAN FARRINGTON, AP

June 11, 2005

KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) - Sen. Mel Martinez said the Bush administration should consider closing the Guantanamo Bay prison for terrorism suspects _ the first high-profile Republican to make the suggestion.

"It's become an icon for bad stories and at some point you wonder the cost-benefit ratio," Martinez said Friday. "How much do you get out of having that facility there? Is it serving all the purposes you thought it would serve when initially you began it, or can this be done some other way a little better?"

Martinez, who served in President Bush's first cabinet and is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made his comments after Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden suggested earlier in the week that the prison in Cuba be shut down.

Frist's finances questioned

Experts see violation of campaign rules

By BOB KEMPER bkemper@ajc.com and TOM BAXTER

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Published on: 06/12/05

Washington — Election Day 2000 was five months off, but Bill Frist was already in an enviable position. With a fat campaign war chest and only token opposition in what he had decided was his last race for the U.S. Senate, Frist could turn his attention to grander plans.

Frist began focusing on raising record amounts of cash for other Republicans. But while he was picking up political IOUs that could aid him greatly in a run for president in 2008, his own campaign finances took a sharp, and in some ways baffling, turn for the worse.

Buh bye, Billy Boy!

"You Make No Bones" by Alfie

http://www.beggars.com/us/alfie/index.html

The porcelain flesh beneath my eye seduces me to a perilous despair.

She resists, disrupts my desire with a frightening quality,

I lace her with golden threads, weaving in and out of her.

I reign her in by her unruly flaxen mane.

My heart trembles for me as I place my lips to the hollow of her

slim tender throat, pierce her vulnerability with my tongue mercilessly.

I beg her to confess her secrets - She defiantly refuses.

My hands have a mind of their own as I place her in shallow water,

and lash her with my golden rope,

gently...obsessively...wickedly

Overcome by her supine form, I fall to my knees,

revel in the pliancy of her as

she becomes as zephyr...everywhere and

nowhere..within me... the very air,

I breathe her into my lungs, hold her there and
exhale her back into life.

My lover is all shimmery and golden in her
exquisite pain that soon eclipses into pleasure.

At last
Manuela pours forth all her poetic mysteries,

my ethereal porcelain nude whimpers my name,

Oh... she inflames me with a thundering passion,

I am assailed by

a deep blue ocean love, unfathomable and breath-
taking.

I feel at once empowered and ashamed.

My fire for Manuela burns and builds in me night
after night,

I must have her, and each time I capture her I
add another ember to the fire.

This is a desire that cannot ever be completely
fulfilled,

haunting my days and owning my nights, my
existence only truly

begins once I place my foot inside her canopied
circle.

Once Master, I am now now the yearning Slave.

Destiny is Victorious.

In reality, GM will be able to only nibble at the margins of its labor cost issues, Meyers said. That means the company will have little choice but to retrench, accept that rival Toyota will soon overtake it as the world's No. 1, then get some products to sell, said Tom Libby, director of industry analysis at the Power Information Network, a J.D. Power and Associates affiliate.

All of those moves will take a major cultural shift within the company, said Peter Morici, an economist at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business. GM's design and production problems arise from a culture honed by decades of unrivaled dominance. Everything is done by committee, Morici said. No one is held responsible for failure, so no one has any authority.

"It's a culture of entitlement akin to the Postal Service," he said. "If the Postal Service made cars, it would be GM."

I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes

Not all of them with you

Been family or lovers

Or enemies its true

I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes

I hope this one’s the last

Some I lived so slowly

The others went too fast

I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes

But never as a queen

A midwife or a servant

Subdued and rarely seen

I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes

Sometimes its been in vain

A person oft unnoticed

My every move in pain

I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes

My body often bruised

A life of empty triumph

A life of great abuse

I’ve lived a thousand lifetimesMy way, not always
clear

And yet again I still can love

Though losing folks so dear

I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes

Holding to what is true

You’ve scorned me and whipped me

And sometimes blood you drew

I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes

And now I place the blame

You’ve taken something lovely

And turned it into pain

I’ve lived a thousand lifetimes

Still clinging unto hope

That you would be much kinder

And love you would emote

When you're alone and in a corner

Your only mourner is the face that

Appears in the nearest mirror

You gotta get it going and somehow knowing you

You're gonna have it better than you ever had it

Everybody needs somebody

Everybody's got the right to love

If you could give in for a minute

And put your soul in it

We could get it on together and forever love it

so what's the use of running

You know there ain't no fun in running

And boy you need somebody, somebody to love you

Cause everybody needs somebody

Everybody's got the right to love

You can have all the things that you desire

But without love you just can't survive

You need love to warm your heart at night

When you're all alone and no comfort's in sight

Everybody needs somebody

Everybody's got the right to love

Foo Fighters are going off on MTV2!!

Gotta go!!!

Set me free why doncha babe

Get out of my life why doncha babe

Cuz you don't really love me, you just keep me hangin' on

You don't really need me but ya keep me hangin' on

Why do ya keep a'comin' around playin' with my heart

Why doncha get out of my life and let me make a new start

Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me-hey

Janeane looks fantastic!!!

seeshels wurk purdy good to.

I thought the tasty beverage was rewarding enough in itself. Maybe that is why I am not wealthy enought to qualify for this country's socialist programs :(

I heard her and Armisen were dating or REAL GOOD friends... now I totally believe that shit...

This war was going to be easy, cost nothing, and require nothing from most of the public except throwing away their Dixie Chicks CDs and the pouring out of all of their French wine. Notions of shared sacrifice, of a genuine collective patriotism, and a genuine "support the troops" agenda were ignored. I can't remember a single prominent lawmaker or public figure of any sort getting up and saying "America is fighting for freedom, and those who truly love their country and who are able should make the ultimate commitment to it." No one has asserted that the patriotic thing to do would be to enlist.

And, of course they haven't. Peter Beinart looks to be in fine fighting form to me, but he's busy fighting the patriotic fight against Move On. Tex Sensenbrenner has twentysomething children, and I'm pretty sure they haven't signed up. Jenna and NotJenna haven't enlisted. The 101st Fighting Keyboarders believe they are fighting this war from their basements.

MTV2 just cut the word 'Ritilin' from a Foo Fighters song... That's just insane!!!

I don't think Janeane's dating Armisen. Take into consideration how much she flirts with musicians on the show (and trying to get their phone numbers). It's more than likely platonic, or they may be just seeing each other.

Who the hell knows?

Baby, baby

Baby don't leave me

Ooh, please don't leave me

All by myself

I've got this burning, burning

Yearning feelin' inside me

Ooh, deep inside me

And it hurts so bad

You came into my heart

So tenderly

With a burning love

That stings like a bee

Now that I surrender

So helplessly

You now wanna leave

Ooh, you wanna leave me

Ooh, baby, baby

Where did our love go?

Ooh, don't you want me

Don't you want me no more

Ooh, baby

Baby, baby

Where did our love go

And all your promisses

Of a love forever more

I've got this burning, burning

Yearning feelin' inside me

Ooh, deep inside me

And it hurts so bad

Before you won my heart

You were a perfect guy

But now that you got me

You wanna leave me behind

Baby, baby, ooh baby

Baby, baby don't leave me

Ooh, please don't leave me

All by myself

Ooh, baby, baby

Where did our love go?

"LOVE reduces fear to nothing… LOVE is a stronger vibration… This is an actual fact... Hate is merely fear of the unknown… Therefore, with fear eliminated, hate vanishes."

Ministers were told of need for Gulf war ‘excuse’
Michael Smith June 12, 2005 The Sunday Times - Britain

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1650822,00.html

Excerpt -

"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.

This was required because, even if ministers decided Britain should not take part in an invasion, the American military would be using British bases. This would automatically make Britain complicit in any illegal US action.

“US plans assume, as a minimum, the use of British bases in Cyprus and Diego Garcia,” the briefing paper warned. This meant that issues of legality “would arise virtually whatever option ministers choose with regard to UK participation”.

The paper was circulated to those present at the meeting, among whom were Blair, Geoff Hoon, then defence secretary, Jack Straw, the foreign secretary, and Sir Richard Dearlove, then chief of MI6. The full minutes of the meeting were published last month in The Sunday Times."

I am learning about this before I go to bed.

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, detection and 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 criminal prosecution....

hey!

that's what I said!

I wrote a letter to Sensenbrenner

Mr. Sensenbrenner,

How can you accuse Howard Dean of making attacks that "are contrary to the contrary to the passionate but respectful political debate the public deserves", when just yesterday you shut down all debate on the "Patriot Act" in an grievous violation of house rules and rules of order? You shamed the committee, the House, your state, and indeed the entire country.

Though I am not your constituent, I know many who are and I have contacted them on this matter. They are all truly horrified. You can trust that they will be supporting your opponent in the next election. You can also count on me to give a significant financial donation to your opponent.

I do not take kindly to my democracy being trampled.

Thank you,

My world is empty without you, baby

My world is empty without you, baby

And as I go my way alone

I find it hard for me to carry on

I need your strenght

I need your tender touch

I need the love, my dear

I miss so much

My world is empty without you, baby

My world is empty without you, baby

From this old world

I try to hide my face

From this loneliness

There's no hiding place

Inside this cold and empty house I dwell

In darkness with memories

I know so well

I need love know

More then before

I can hardly

Carry on anymore

My world is emty without you, babe

Without you, babe

(My world is emty) without you, babe

My mind and soul

Have felt like this

Since love between us

No more exist

And each time that darkness falls

It finds me alone

With these four walls

My world is emty without you, babe

Without you, babe

(My world is emty) without you, babe

Without you, babe

Without you, babe

I will have to eat somewhere. I live in New Orleans and have lived in the DC/Baltimore Area, it can't be any worse than that, but thanks for the tip.

Mel, still watching Foo Fighters?

Of course I'm vegi and use to wait tables so I see the world a tad different than others.

I stay away from all CORPORATE anything. that's pretty tough do to in San Diego.

Janeane has a thing for musicians....unfortunately, they're not always the most faithful of creatures.

akaMAT, there are no non-corporate restauraunts or any good places to go anywhere in San Diego?

Ministers were told of need for Gulf war ‘excuse’
Michael Smith, June 12, 2005 The Sunday Times - Britain

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1650822,00.html

Excerpts -

"John Conyers, the Democratic congressman who drafted the letter to Bush, has now written to Dearlove asking him to say whether or not it was accurate that he believed the intelligence was being “fixed” around the policy. He also asked the former MI6 chief precisely when Bush and Blair had agreed to invade Iraq and whether it is true they agreed to “manufacture” the UN ultimatum in order to justify the war.

He and other Democratic congressmen plan to hold their own inquiry this Thursday with witnesses including Joe Wilson, the American former ambassador who went to Niger to investigate claims that Iraq was seeking to buy uranium ore for its nuclear weapons programme."

"Frustrated at the refusal by the White House to respond to their letter, the congressmen have set up a website — www.downingstreetmemo.com — to collect signatures on a petition demanding the same answers.

Conyers promised to deliver it to Bush once it reached 250,000 signatures. By Friday morning it already had more than 500,000 with as many as 1m expected to have been obtained when he delivers it to the White House on Thursday.

AfterDowningStreet.org, another website set up as a result of the memo, is calling for a congressional committee to consider whether Bush’s actions as depicted in the memo constitute grounds for impeachment."

"The complaints of media self-censorship have been backed up by the ombudsmen of The Washington Post, The New York Times and National Public Radio, who have questioned the lack of attention the minutes (Downing Street Memo) have received from their organisations."

Saddam’s Complaint

I was house-sitting at the ranch in Crawford, Texas
watching a little cable and baggin’ some rays.
Kinda wishing I was back in my palace
I was thinking ‘bout the good old days.

Was a little before noon just this Saturday
when G-Dub done gave me a ring.
Said there’d be a jet picking me up in an hour
and not to bring anything.

I was like, “Boss-man, what’s up?...who’s gonna look after your ranch
while you’re livin’ it up in D.C.?”
He said, “Dean’s giving a foreign policy speech on Monday, …
and there’s another place you gotta be.”

So I got on the plane and now I’m back in Iraq,
Got jet lag and I’m feelin’ a little cruddy.
I told G-Dub’s henchmen, “What’s going on, I thought we had a deal…”
And one of ‘em said, “Get in the hole, buddy.”

No I wasn't kidding about Hillcrest! YOU have to like gays to go there.

Sounds a lot like New Orleans or at least the Garden District and the French Quarter. People's sex life never really been a factor for me.

Oh, hey, Mel, btw, I don't know Lucas, just have friends who work out there, and I've done some interviews there.

WAR DIARY 415TH NIGHT FIGHTER SQUADRON
JANUARY 1945
OCREY AIR BASE, FRANCE

1, Gastronomically we started the New Year off right with a turkey dinner. Some couldn't enjoy it because they were still suffering from a severe attack of cognacitus of the previous night. Oper-ationally we started the New Year off with both tragedy and success.

While on an intruder mission, Capt. Jones and Lt. Sussman were fired upon by a B-17. Jones told the controller that he had received fire which shot out one engine, tail surfaces and wounded Lt. Sussman. The pilot tried to bring the A/C to an emergency field because Lt. Sussman couldn't bail out. Capt. Jones' last words to the controller before he and and his observer spun in were "I guess we've had it." Lt. 'Intruder'

Schleuter encountered and destroyed one Ju-88.

(...)30. Major Bob Johnson, 24, of the 81st Fighter Bomber Squadron spoke for a half hour before the picture, describing in cryptic language, the work and tactics of his outfit. Foo-Fighters were at it again last night.

This is The Operations report: "Halfway between Wissembourg and Landau sighted amber lights at 2000 feet. One light was 20 to 50 feet above the other and of about 30 seconds duration. Lights were about a foot in diameter, 1000 ft. away and following Beau. Lights disappeared when Beau turned into them."

Good evening, blogmeisters au gratin.

Of course, that doesn't make a bit of sense, but then, the universe, at times, doesn't either. And, at other times, it makes a sort of sense.

they have little trolley busses you can catch to hillcrest and will take you over to Coronado.

HEADQUARTERS VII Bomber Command
APO #244

MISSION REPORT NO. 11-327

DATE: 2 MAY 1945 (GCT).

OBSERVATIONS: The crew of plane #616 over FALA ISLAND, TRUK ATOLL, at 021802Z observed 2 airborne objects at their 11,000 foot altitude changing from a cherry red to an orange, and to a white light which would die out and then become cherry red again. These objects were out on either wing and not within range of caliber .50 machine guns. Both followed the B-24 through all types of evasive action. A B-24 took a course for GUAM and one of the pursuers dropped off at 021900Z after accompanying the B-24 for an hour. The other continued to follow, never approaching closer than 1000 yards and speeding up when the B-24 went thru the clouds to emerge on the other side ahead of the B-24. In daylight it was seen to be bright silver in color. As the B-24 let down at GUAM, the pursuer took a course of 330 degrees at 15, 000 feet to 20,000 feet altitude at 022130Z. ONe B-24 encountered eight intense flames light green in color, one of which burst and hung at 5,000 feet at 021013Z. There was no trail or warning until the actual burst. A B-24 reported 9 to 10 red tracer type trails of fire up to 5,000 feet. They came in pairs and one pair came within 50 to 100 yards of the tail of the B-24 at 021010Z. Source of each pair was at a different location.

We followed same vector on in, until Control told us that Target was at range of 6 to 7 miles, in an orbit, and ordered us to take over.

Our first Radar contact was 12 miles out of Kahuku and proved to be Target on course of 170 degrees...Heading South toward the island. We maintained Radar contact for distance of 5 miles, then lost contact. Midnight Control vectored us on target again, lowering our altitude to mattress at 2,500 feet. We contacted target again at 2 miles range, and maintained contact til within approximately 3,000 feet. Target was still below us, under the clouds, (we were in the clouds, over Kahuku) we called Control saying we had lost contact. They gave us a 170 degree vector, telling us to climb over the mountains ahead. Lizard Control then called, saying target had been claimed by Molokai. We returned to base.

~~~ Janeane is having fun 'Grease!! ~~~

I guess so.

Not her type of thang, really though. Seems like she's trying to make sweet sweet love to the camera and that just ain't her.

She looked so happy to be on stage for the concert part... and Wonder Showzen is amazing!!!

I met a guy from Texas this week. I didn't like him at first (for his Texicity), but he told me that one of his favorite songs was Desolation Row by Bob Dylan. He loved the Spanish guitar part in it, and the fact that it goes on for 11 minutes. Most people's favorite Dylan song is usually one of the hits. I don't have one (despite my name).

We got to talking, and he's really cool. Proving that there are always exceptions to every rule, this rule being Texans are all illiterate, narrow minded assholes.
