That was scary as as hell.

If the PNAC crowd thinks China is our greatest threat, why are they putting our debt in China's hands? I mean, they are borrowing and borrowing and borrowing from China.

So... what do they plan to do? Are they going to let China buy America?

Or are they planning to default?

Whate ARE they thinking?

The J9 during a rant at the end of last hour(2)

Janeane has a toilet-paper-stealing problem:

http://www.homunculus.com/articles/garofalojaneane/garofalobruin961028.html

...

Her years at Providence provided her with a lot of the material that she started performing with during her fourth year, including an aborted attempt to snag a 3-foot diameter roll of toilet paper from a Rhode Island McDonald's. "I was in college, and you steal toilet paper in college because then you don't need to buy it," she says. "So my roommate and I saw the huge one that they have at roadside bathrooms, and we thought, 'nirvana.' Of course, we didn't make it, because it's so cumbersome you couldn't really get it out of there. I was so humiliated, although I still continue to pilfer toilet paper every now and again."

I sneak toilet paper into places so Janeane and
I cancel each other out!

Incinerating 70-80% of the world's population, while they bunkered up, is SANE to them.

If it's one thing I've come to learn of the PNAC crowd, it's that very, VERY little is beyond the pale...if it forwards their agenda.

MICHAEL GORDON: No, wait a second, if you ask me a question – I'm happy to answer all your questions, but what I'm trying to explain to you is one thing. That was what I knew at the time. It's true that it was the key judgment. It’s the same information they presented to Colin Powell, by the way, and it's what persuaded him to go to the United Nations and make the case on the nuclear tubes. I wrote the contrary case, giving the IAEA equal time. They disputed it. I don't have a dog in this fight. I didn't know what was the ultimate truth. When the IAEA came out in January and disputed it, I reported it.

Congressman Conyers Calls on the President to Publish the Hadley Memo

Conyers Calls on the President to Publish the Hadley Memo

Congressman John Conyers today called on president Bush to make publicly available a memo submitted to him by Stephen Hadley in October 2002. This memo clearly explained to the president that the Departments of State and Energy both rejected White House claims that Iraq was seeking materials to build a nuclear weapon. This is a very important document revealing the administration's efforts to build a case for war based on Iraq's nuclear threat to our country when overwhelming evidence disputed this claim. The text of the letter follows:

Dear Mr. President:

I write to ask that you release publicly an October 2002 memorandum that informed you that the Energy Department and State Department disagreed with assessments that Iraq was seeking to acquire nuclear weapons materials. The memorandum was submitted to you by then-Deputy National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley.

Throughout the past several years, you have claimed frequently that Saddam Hussein had been attempting to acquire the materials necessary to build nuclear weapons. In fact, during your 2003 State of the Union Address, you stated, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production." Shortly after this speech, the United States invaded Iraq, but no nuclear weapons materials have been located.

According to National Journal, you were aware prior to the 2003 State of the Union that Iraq did not possess such materials. In summarizing a National Intelligence Estimate for you in October 2002, Mr. Hadley noted that, while many agencies believed the aluminum tubes were "related to a uranium enrichment effort," the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research and the Energy Department's intelligence b

Arnold in trouble again...

SACRAMENTO – Yesterday, the California Court of Appeals ruled against Governor Schwarzenegger’s California Recovery Team (CRT), saying the organization acted illegally by failing to report millions of dollars in expenditures promoting the Governor’s failed ballot propositions as required by law on a 24-hour cycle. The Alliance for a Better California is demanding that the Fair Political Practices Commission take immediate action to redress the situation. By law, the FPPC may seek civil penalties equal to the amount not properly reported. CRT’s violation is in excess of $25 million.

“We’ve known all along that the Governor’s team has been breaking the law, and the Court of Appeals agreed with us,” said Joe Nunez, chairperson of the Alliance for a Better California. “We will continue to take all steps necessary to ensure that the Governor’s campaign is held accountable for their egregious violations of the law.”

Attached please find the complaint being sent on behalf of the Alliance for a Better California to the FPPC. If the FPPC fails to act within 120 days, the Alliance is permitted to file its own lawsuit against the Governor seeking civil damages.

“Once again, Arnold Schwarzenegger thinks the rules apply to everyone but himself,” said Lou Paulson, President of the California Professional Firefighters. “The Governor’s Special Election campaign didn’t want Californians to know exactly how much money from big corporations and drug companies was getting spent on his failed agenda.”

ECONOMIC REPORT
Profits surge to 40-year high
When will corporations spend some of their hoard?
By Rex Nutting, MarketWatch
Last Update: 5:36 PM ET Mar 30, 2006

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- U.S. corporate profits have increased 21.3% in the past year and now account for the largest share of national income in 40 years, the Commerce Department said Thursday.
Strong productivity gains and subdued wage growth boosted before-tax profits to 11.6% of national income in the fourth quarter of 2005, the biggest share since the summer of 1966. See full story.
For all of 2005, before-tax profits totaled $1.35 trillion, up from $1.16 trillion in 2004 and just $767 billion in 2001.
Meanwhile, the share of national income going to wage and salary workers has fallen to 56.9%. Except for a brief period in 1997, that's the lowest share for labor income since 1966.
"It's a big puzzle," said Josh Bivens, an economist for the Economic Policy Institute. "If this is a knowledge economy, how come the brains aren't being compensated? Instead, the owners of physical capital are getting the rewards."
Despite the flood of cash coming in the door, corporations are investing comparatively little in expanding their operations. Capital spending has been below average, especially considering the strength of the economy, the level of profits and the special tax breaks given to boost investment.
In the fourth quarter, business fixed investment increased just 4.5%. In the past year, investment has risen 6.8%. The growth rate has been falling for the past four quarters.

Queueball comedy, no doubt.

Chris Nelson fresh from the beach informs us no big changes (in the cabinet) until Bolten is fully ensconced as Chief of Staff. But get this:

The “Big One” is Rummy...has President Bush finally gotten to the point where he sees Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld as a liability, not an asset? You can see evidence for this, if you want.

Specifically, note who has been run out for TV recently defending and explaining Iraq...Bush, not Rumsfeld. The President has been forced to put himself irrevocably on the line, both in public, and with the press, because Rumsfeld has lost all credibility...that’s what our Republican friends say is the “inside word”.

Sources also confirm that the President has absorbed the fact that the professional military has completely given up on Rumsfeld...admittedly a process which began for some “uniforms” even before 9/11, but which has continued to affect...or infect...virtually the whole military establishment today. (Rumsfeld’s contemptuous treatment of the senior brass...including the Joint Chiefs...has become legend, if somewhat under-reported, since these folks are loyal to the institution, if not the man, despite the provocations.)

Some insiders had been hoping that Rumsfeld would take the opportunity of the third-anniversary of the war to step down. But he either didn’t hear the hints, or didn’t care. So it apparently will be up to Bolten to pull the plug, on the President’s behalf.

Won’t Vice President Cheney step in to save his ideological and political comrade? Sources don’t think the Veep is in any position to challenge the facts on the ground...he can see that Rumsfeld has lost the confidence of both the troops, and the media.

Recently I found myself the first shopper back to the car, but keyless.

It is a weird experience, standing in a parking lot with a new lawn chair (eventually I sat on it) waiting and waiting to go really fast to lunch.

A nearby car was particularly striking. It was particularly ugly in a compelling way. I noticed the emblem in the center of the wheels. I'm a kraut-autophile, so I recognized the emblem immediately.

"No", I said to myself. "This can't be?"

It was a Porsche Cayenne, though I didn't know that a Porsche Cayenne existed until that moment.

In 1983, I was a judge at the Terlingua Chili Cookoff, and my memory of the events may not be perfect -- for example, for years I've been claiming Jimmy Carter was president at the time, but that's the kind of detail one often loses track of in Terlingua.

Anyway, it was '83 or some year right around there when we held The Fence climbing contest. See, people talked about building The Fence back then, too. The Fence along the Mexican border. To keep Them out.

At the time, the proposal was quite specific -- a 17-foot cyclone fence with bob wire at the top. So a test fence was built at Terlingua, and the First-Ever Terlingua Memorial Over, Under or Through Mexican Fence Climbing Contest took place. Prize: a case of Lone Star beer. Winning time: 30 seconds.

I tell this story to make the one single point about the border and immigration we know to be true: The Fence will not work. No fence will work. The Great darn Wall of China will not work. Do not build a fence. It will not work. They will come anyway. Over, under or through.

Some of you think a fence will work because Israel has one. Israel is a very small country. Anyone who says a fence can fix this problem is a demagogue and an ass.

Blackwater USA: Turning The All-Volunteer Army Into An ‘Army For Hire’

This week at a conference in Jordan, Blackwater USA vice chairman Cofer Black announced that the private security company is ready to shift from a security role to a more “overt combat role,” essentially becoming an army for hire.

The Bush administration has shown itself more than willing to call in Blackwater in place of U.S. troops.

In Aug. 2003, the Bush administration awarded Blackwater a $21.3 million contract to guard then Amb. Paul Bremer. The average senior special operations officer makes $50,000 a year from the U.S. government. Employees in private security firms in Iraq often make more than $1,000 a day from government contracts. This arrangement is “depleting the ranks of the special forces,” luring them into lucrative private jobs.

Some military analysts initially welcomed the administration’s private security arrangement with Blackwater because it allowed “regular military troops to concentrate on fighting.” But Blackwater’s new proposal would shift some of the fighting to the private sector, further diminishing the role of the all-volunteer army.

Will Bolten and Hastert Try to Retire Treasury Secretary Snow?
Today, New York Times reporter Elisabeth Bumiller cited a “prominent Republican” who says Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten wants to replace Treasury Secretary Snow with someone who could “more forcefully communicate the administration’s message that the economy is strong”:

A prominent Republican in Washington who consults often with the White House said Mr. Bolten, who is to assume his duties next month, wants Mr. Bush to replace the Treasury secretary, John W. Snow, with someone who can more forcefully communicate the administration’s message that the economy is strong. This Republican was granted anonymity to discuss private deliberations within the administration.

Bumiller wrote a very similar article last December, but with one important difference – she named House speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) as the one saying that Snow needed “to be more aggressive in talking about the economy”:

The grousing about Mr. Snow was so loud that even Democratic Congressional aides were aware that the House speaker, Representative J. Dennis Hastert of Illinois, had complained to Mr. Card and Mr. Bartlett that the administration needed to be more aggressive in talking about the economy.

Fox News: Keep Out ‘Freeloading Illegals’ By ‘Gutting Welfare’
Fox News today came up with a solution to stemming the flow of undocumented workers into the United States — gut welfare.

The Fox News headline ignores the realities of immigration. Undocumented immmigrants pay $1.5 billion in Medicaid taxes each year, along with another $7 billion in Social Security taxes.

Additionally, according to a recent Pew Hispanic Center study, immigrants do not come to this country because they are unemployed and want to “freeload” off the U.S. economy. Most are gainfully employed before coming here, and immigrate to rejoin families, to improve working conditions, and to earn higher wages.

Ted Turner Blasts Media, Himself, Bush, War in Iraq
Wednesday, March 29, 2006

ATLANTA, Georgia — Ted Turner took shots Tuesday at the media for its coverage of sex and violence, at himself for losing control of the news network he founded, at Bush for being a "reformed alcoholic" and at the Bush administration for going to war in Iraq.

The outspoken billionaire philanthropist made his comments as he was being honored for promoting global understanding.

"There's an awful lot of superfluous news, the pervert of the day and someone that shot seven people at a fraternity party," Turner told a crowd gathered at a downtown hotel. "Who needs it all?"

Turner, 67, said he regrets losing control of CNN, which he founded in 1980, to Time Warner Inc. after its merger with America Online.

"I had a sacred trust there and I let it go," Turner said. "I thought there was no way they could phase me out, and I was wrong."

In 2003, Turner resigned as vice chairman of what was then AOL Time Warner Inc. Then, last month, he said he wouldn't seek re-election to the board of what is now simply Time Warner.

As for Bush, Turner didn't mince words.

"We can't afford the war in Iraq," Turner said. "This is a big waste of time. "I wish we would say, 'We won and we are going home.' We shouldn't be there. Bombing isn't a way of changing people's minds. You do that with education."

Bush lacks a true understanding of the world, Turner said.

"We had a president of the United States who had been out of the country but once before he was elected," he said. He added, "And this guy has his finger on the nuclear trigger, too — reformed alcoholic, nothing wrong with that."

White House spokeswoman Maria Tamburri addressed Turner's war criticism.

"Iraq remains a central front in the war on terror, and it's important for the security of our nation to have a Democratic Iraq as a friend and ally," she said.

She had no immediate comment on Turner's remarks about the president's alcohol use.

Bush pleaded guilty to drunken driving in 1976, when he was in his 30s. He has said he quit drinking when he was 40.

"War on Christians" speaker blasts V for Vendetta

ABC News

To fight back against the perceived anti-Christian agenda, Hice today attended a two-day conference called "The War on Christians," sponsored by the conservative evangelical group Vision America.

It featured prominent conservative Christian leaders discussing how they believe they are losing the culture wars on issues such as abortion, gay marriage, liberal judges and the latest from Hollywood, like the movie "V for Vendetta."

"The message of 'V for Vendetta' is that Christians are plotting to seize the reins of power," said Don Feder of Vision America.

They also called the enormously popular Web site MySpace.com poison for its millions of young users. "It's a pornography hole," said Rebecca Hagelin, of the Heritage Foundation.

>>I can't wait for the DLC to tell Vermont voters not to vote for Lamont just because they don't like Lieberman's politics ;)

Mosul slips out of control as the bombers move in

Independent UK

When the 3,000 men of the mainly Kurdish 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Iraqi Army go on patrol it is at night, after the rigorously enforced curfew starts at 8pm. Their vehicles, bristling with heavy machine guns, race through the empty streets of the city, splashing through pools of sewage, always trying to take different routes to avoid roadside bombs. "The government cannot control the city," said Hamid Effendi, an experienced ex-soldier who is Minister for Peshmerga Affairs in the Kurdistan Regional Government.

He is influential in the military affairs of Mosul province with its large Kurdish minority, although it is outside the Kurdish region. He believes: "The Iraqi Army is only a small force in Mosul, the Americans do not leave their bases much and some of the police are connected to the terrorists." In the days since a suicide bomber killed 43 young men waiting to join the Iraqi army at a recruitment centre near Mosul last week soldiers in the city have been expecting a second attack.

"We are not leaving the base in daytime because we know other bombers are waiting for us," said a soldier at a base near Mosul's city centre.

Mar. 28, 2006 12:00 AM

Air America Radio has found a new home in the Valley.

The liberal-talk network will debut Monday on KPHX-AM (1480).

Nova M Radio, a company headed by Valley radio personality Mike Newcomb and Air America founders Sheldon and Anita Drobny, will lease the radio station.

Newcomb's nationally syndicated show will air from 6 to 9 a.m., followed by Air America programming.

Air America previously was heard on KXXT-AM (1010), but the station changed ownership and switched formats this month.

"There was a palpable sense of loss in the community," said Newcomb, who takes over as general manager at KPHX.

BBC stories used as bait for IE exploit

Cybercrooks are spamming e-mail messages to trick people into visiting malicious Web sites that exploit a recent Internet Explorer flaw, experts warned Thursday.

The Web sites take advantage of the vulnerability in the omnipresent Microsoft Web browser to install a keystroke logger on vulnerable computers, according to San Diego-based Websense Security Labs.

"This keylogger monitors activity on various financial Web sites and uploads captured information back to the attacker," Websense said in an alert. The malicious software could capture log-in names and passwords for the sites, information criminals could sell or possibly use to plunder a victim's account.

The e-mail messages used to lure people to the Web sites contain excerpts from BBC news stories and offer a link to "read more," Websense said. This link leads to a forged BBC Web page where the malicious software is dropped onto a vulnerable PC by exploiting the "createTextRange()" vulnerability in IE, according to Websense's alert.

Charlie: Look, kid, I - how much you weigh, son? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast.

Terry: It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.

Charlie: Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money.

Terry: You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley.

Anyone have a particular mutual fund they would recommend?

If you could get the entire Mormon Tabernacle Choir to turn themselves inside out all at the same time, you could put it on pay-per-view and make a fortune. Look how well Gibson did with his religious slasher film.

Tom Joad: I been thinking about us, too, about our people living like pigs and good rich land layin' fallow. Or maybe one guy with a million acres and a hundred thousand farmers starvin'. And I been wonderin' if all our folks got together and yelled...

Ma Joad: Oh, Tommy, they'd drag you out and cut you down just like they done to Casy.

Tom Joad: They'd drag me anyways. Sooner or later they'd get me for one thing if not for another. Until then...

Ma Joad: Tommy, you're not aimin' to kill nobody.

Tom Joad: No, Ma, not that. That ain't it. It's just, well as long as I'm an outlaw anyways... maybe I can do somethin'... maybe I can just find out somethin', just scrounge around and maybe find out what it is that's wrong and see if they ain't somethin' that can be done about it. I ain't thought it out all clear, Ma. I can't. I don't know enough.

Ma Joad: How am I gonna know about ya, Tommy? Why they could kill ya and I'd never know. They could hurt ya. How am I gonna know?

Tom Joad: Well, maybe it's like Casy says. A fellow ain't got a soul of his own, just little piece of a big soul, the one big soul that belongs to everybody, then...

Ma Joad: Then what, Tom?

Tom Joad: Then it don't matter. I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too.

Ma Joad: I don't understand it, Tom.

Tom Joad: Me, neither, Ma, but - just somethin' I been thinkin' about.

Editor's Note: On 3/28/06 we published an article which stated that the Federal Reserve has ordered 2 Trillion dollars to be printed by U.S. mints. We mistakenly published this text instead of the one we meant to publish (below) from Free Market News. The report on the Fed's printing of 2 Trillion Dollars is not adequately supported with sources and supporting factual information.

TWO TRILLION $$

SOURCES WITHIN THE UNITED STATES TREASURY ARE FLABBERGASTED!

INFO CORROBORATED BY THREE SEPARATE U.S. TREASURY SOURCES

Six months ago, the Federal Reserve quietly announced that as of March 20, 2006, they would no longer publish "M3" Data. The "M3" was the amount of cash the government printed to put into circulation, propping-up the U.S. economy.

As of eight days ago, M3 data is no longer being reported, so there is no way for the public, investors or bond holders to know how much currency exists - and no way to gauge how much a "dollar" is truly worth.

Three separate sources in the U.S. Treasury have told me that this week, the federal reserve ordered TWO TRILLION dollars to be printed! The U.S. Treasury is allegedly running printing presses 24/7 to accommodate that order. Treasury employees were specifically ORDERED not to talk about this to anyone because it could cause economic collapse.

Even worse, I was also told that the whole Immigration Amnesty Debate (especially the well-funded well-attended protests) was deliberately scheduled to take place now, to divert attention from this massive printing/devaluation of the U.S. Dollar. The feds allegedly figured that by the time anyone found out, they could smooth things over. They figured wrong. Surprise, boys, you've been exposed!

Watch for Gold and silver to skyrocket in price within days as the world wises up and begins dumping the U.S. Dollar.

UPDATE: As of 9:05 AM this morning, Silver is at a ten year high and Gold is within a few dollars of a 25 year high. The U.S. Dollar is falling against all major world currencies. . More details as they become available.

My best guess is the energy sector with foreign markets running a close second. Financials and the large caps are looking to become strong (because of rising interest rates and because the large caps have been out-of-favor for several years).

My best recommendation is to not listen to me. I can lose money faster than you can say, "He told me it was a sure thing!"

If you are expecting absolute disaster, buy lots of bullets (common calibres...stay away from the 28 gauge stuff unless you want to get burned).

You can trade bullets for food even when gold and titanium is worthless.

Air America Gets New Home On Radio Dial In Valley

Mar. 28, 2006 12:00 AM

Air America Radio has found a new home in the Valley.

The liberal-talk network will debut Monday on KPHX-AM (1480).

Nova M Radio, a company headed by Valley radio personality Mike Newcomb and Air America founders Sheldon and Anita Drobny, will lease the radio station.

Newcomb's nationally syndicated show will air from 6 to 9 a.m., followed by Air America programming.

Air America previously was heard on KXXT-AM (1010), but the station changed ownership and switched formats this month.

"There was a palpable sense of loss in the community," said Newcomb, who takes over as general manager at KPHX.

"To pull this off is a great victory"

Pardon the observation...but if you come to this blog looking for finacial scoops you don't sound like know much more about mutual funds than buying commodities.

If I had the money to invest and saw the slightest indication that there could be a huge bout of inflation I'd seriously consider buying something of true value (not stocks or bonds)...

I bought gold coins when it was less than $400 an ounce. its about 600 now. It didn't happen overnight, but I don't have to worry about the economy taing a nosedive.

In fact, the worse the economy, the better gold's value. unfortunately, the oposite is also true

Not true. When you have learned what mutual funds are all about, they can be a terrific place to park your money while you learn about individual stock investing.

Some mutual funds suck. Trust me. I can invest in a bad one faster than you can say, "But you told me I couldn't lose!"

Generally speaking, if you are new to investing, it is probably a better idea to study mutual fund investing (and invest there) first.

Start by studying Index Funds (assuming that you know very little about the market).

It is not a good idea to make your first shot-in-the-dark investment in something like Dildo Holding Co.

Dems are hypocrites on Scalia....check this out...

In 1986, President Reagan nominated him as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States to fill in the vacancy left by William Rehnquist, who had been elevated to Chief Justice. Scalia, whose nomination was backed by liberals such as Mario Cuomo, was approved by the Senate in a vote of 98-0 and he took his seat on September 26, 1986. He is the first Italian-American Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States.

Thanks anyway.

Failure to locate landmark in his headlights spells trouble for Aussie tourist

SYDNEY, Australia - It's a giant red monolith jutting out of an Outback plain, but one tipsy Australian tourist couldn't spot Ayers Rock despite parking only 100 meters away with his headlights pointing at the landmark, police said Wednesday.

A 44-year-old man from New South Wales state flagged down a car late Tuesday night thinking it was carrying park rangers and asked directions to Ayers Rock, also known by its Aboriginal name, Uluru.

Unfortunately for the hapless tourist, the car was carrying police.

"Nonetheless, the tourist told police he and his female companion wanted directions to the rock," Northern Territory police said in a statement. "The police officer breathalyzed the driver after pointing out his headlights were shining right at it — 100 meters away."

The man was found to be driving with excess alcohol in his blood and without a license. He was ordered to appear in court on May 18.

Why an RV specifically?

Is the RV aspect a way to avoid lodging?

Would a conversion van or the like not work?

There are so many folks here with problems. How do you tell the difference between people and pity trolls? I know one kind of trolling gets a political blog tied up in knots over personal concerns.

What kind of blog is this? Do the people who have problems have absolutely no friends or resources? What kind of people have no friends or resources outside of a blog?

I'm not mean, but it just seems really trolly weird here sometimes.

You're probably right....

Posted by: Goblin Girl at March 30, 2006 11:47 PM

That's why Gore lost.

He picked Lieberman.

Had he picked, say Gephart or somebody like that he would have won.

The only reason it was close at all was because Gore was another reb.

Kerry lost because he was a New England Yankee from Boston, another thing that doesn't play well down south or in the midwest.

If democrats expect to win they have to pick a candidate who will play well in those regions. Someone who will appeal to the majority of voters in "white America."

I believe the neo-cons were really hoping she'd be killed so they could tell us how brutal the terrorists are. the neocons feel deprived of a propaganda talking point.

now they are standing there with egg on their faces because the insurgents have proven themselves to be more compassionate than BushCo

Death yuck

Maybe it's kind of like The Searchers... You know, John Wayne is the racist fucker cowboy that goes off to find the girl and when he finds her he thinks she's been "corrupted" by the indians that took her, and he wants to kill her.

The Searchers is a great f'ing movie.

Mat I notice the Cruise American RV rate per day in San Diego is $67/Day

Plug in Portland into their search engine and a number of RV rental places come up.

http://cruiseamerica.com/

I'm sure you can go down & back in less than a week(2 days down, 1 day there, 2 days back).

Remember that RV bathrooms are small.

I like the Amtrak train with the sleeper compartment & bath. Get the handicap accomodation one as it has room for a wheelchair.

Get on in San Diego, off in Portland.

(But will say this: If running Gore as the Comeback Kid, the reverse political polarity of the Nixon story in '60 and '68, is not following the reactionary historical script of American politics, then I know not what is. Got a lotta reasons I won't bore you with for why I think Gore is not only a good campaign candidate but would govern effectively besides, but to say "Gore is done" is to ignore the most credible and outspoken critic of Bushism apart from Howard Dean. Gore might not *choose* to run, but if he wants to, it'll be a hell of a tug-of-war betwixt him and Shillary.)

When we were sunk, all I know is there was a lot of fire and explosions. And I was ordered topsides and overboard. And I was burned. When I came to, I was on a cruiser. My hands were off.

YES, Joe Lieberman was booed tonight at the Jefferson Jackson dinner. Not once, not twice, but at least 3 times. By almost half the crowd. It was astonishing... nothing like that has happened at one of these dinners before.

Taurus The Bull

Today's Meaning:
This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is patient, reliable, warmhearted, loving, persistent, determined, placid and security loving. This is a person you respect.

General Description:
Second sign of the Zodiac, April 21st to May 22nd. Ruling planet Venus; correct metal Copper. Those born under Taurus were thought to be endowed wtih mental and physical strength, strong minded, clever, fearless and emotional. The correct Taurus gem is the Sapphire. The sapphire is of a deep blue clour, and the darker the blue the greater its value. The ancients wore Sapphire charms for protection from poison, plague, fever, diseasses of the skin, and to bring peace and happiness upon its wearer. The eyes were rubbed by a Sapphire to preserve them from injury by smallpox. King Solomon's seal is said to have been a Sapphire.

I saw Good Bad and the Ugly but it's been a loooong time ago.

I did really like it though.

This film was made in 1946, and it was very intelligent, realistic, and adult. I haven't seen it in a while, should check it out again....

Miss Anne ... know you are gone .. but read above you are looking to get to San Diego and perhaps return with your Mom.

I found you a R/T on America West Leaving PDX on 4/5 to SAN returning 4/12 for $311. Those flights leave at 8:30am, 11:15am, 1:20pm and 2:50pm. The return flight out of SAN leaves at 11:00am on 4/12. Also .. one way fare for Mom would be $125 on that return flight to PDX on 4/12.

Not sure if you need a car?? I can research that for you if you do .. I will email you this as well.

Anyone looking for excellent deals on air fare, auto rental and hotels .... www.sidestep.com .. it mines from the airlines, hotels, car rental folk and places like Orbitz ... and obviously .. the deals are pretty decent!

sod that thinking, mat

people are going to die

unfortunately, all these passings have come so close

besides, you've met many wonderful people here

so u can't have been all that rotten

& i've met you

so i can't have been all that rotten, even though i am

...and maybe one other time as a twenty-five-year-old single mother shot to death at work during a midnight Burger King robbery.

Anyone looking for excellent deals on air fare, auto rental and hotels .... www.sidestep.com .. it mines from the airlines, hotels, car rental folk and places like Orbitz ... and obviously .. the deals are pretty decent!

Sorry .. screwed the link ... should work now ...

Here is my morbid guess for what it is worth.

Mat has reached an age where the frequency of illness and death of the people in her sphere increases dramatically.

It sucks.

Um, I was born in an ever-expanding Catholic family, and, when I married, my spouse was shocked he had joined a funeral-of-the-month club.

Sorry akaMat's life is catching up with her. Some of us have had that for a lot longer. A horrible long time... I feel for her.

>>I must have been a real crap ass person.

NO! people die, don't blame yourself

man, am I glad that kinda thing couldn't happen to me.

the idea reminds me of the Star Trek:TNG episode when Crusher is trapped in a `quantuum bubble' that is slowly shrinking...slowly the crew dissappears .

then wesley gets hold of some kinda alien and fixes his "quantuum boo-boo" (I believe that is the correct Physics term?)

Posted by: Crank Bait at March 31, 2006 01:13 AM

u misread it

so i know wot u meant, but it doesn't apply

Yes, I do think death will become a more and more common occurance for us. What with people with jobs being stressed by work into heart attacks and strokes at younger and younger ages. Skin cancer increasing from the continued reduction of the ozone. Lung cancer from the shit air we breathe and other cancers from the food we eat - unless it is grown with purified water, away from the damaging effects of the sun and our toxin laden air.

It's a miracle we aren't already dying of something.. : / Nice planets .. and we fucked it up.

air ono likes mat.

he just has a hard time being sensitive.

air-ono: "But I mean that in a good fat-but-not-sweaty way."

air-ono: "That is to say, I would think that it would be pretty hot in there?"

that's right, chubbs (root of all evil)

before death envelopes you, a space ship from some far off galaxy will come to wisk you away from the grief that befalls the rest of us

And just for good measure, maybe once by an accidental bicycle-seat enema that lodged deep in his pelvis and led to a mortal infection, brought on one fine karmic day by jarring potholes in the road that, in his infinite wisdom and while still desperately clutching his recent diploma -- sumo cum loudy -- from the Rush Limbaugh school for selfish bastardry, he didn't think it was worthwhile to pay taxes to fix.

Funny you should mention it ... if you have Comcast cable and get their G4 network .. that very episode will be on tonight. In about 40 minutes for me ... it's called "Remember Me."

Oh! And the alien .. he was called "The Traveller." He was on the last episode tonight on the 2 hour block of ST:TNG ...

Yes ... I am a geek, thank you!

It wasn't the tax cuts that killed him.

It was all of them ee-leegals.

Whoops! (I got a itchy post finger.)

It was all of them illegals what used up our English speaking roads.

Posted by: air-ono at March 31, 2006 01:13 AM

ok, buster.

just for that I'll tell you the bitter truth I avoided telling you a week or two ago:

I'm sure you remember when I was explaining how a a man considered an alpha heterosexual in Australia would be seen as a limp wristed pansy-boy here in the states.

I never explained why this is.

you see...In America we have cowboys. real live hero cowboys.

In Australia you have sheep. ok, they are still out doors, but sheepsies ain't cows.

now, I shouldn't have to explain any further, but since you are petty dumb, here goes:

In American sheep ain't shit. a real cowboy wouldn't even consider trading `punching cattle' for `slapping sheep.'

By now you've probably learned that the movie, Brokeback Mountain isn't really about cattlemen, its about sheepmen.

and, for good or not, Australia was settled by Sheepboys, not cowboys.

See?

sorry to burst your bubble.

and since you are Australian, feel free to cry

Sleek geeks get a pass.

Hello everyone. My pills dont come till Monday.

That sucks. I will be back in form then.

Sorry.

Hi Bob.

No one can tell that you are not in form.

No worries. :)

it's called "Remember Me."

Posted by: Salix at March 31, 2006 01:21 AM

I thought that ST reference would bring you out of the wood works.

Did you have hot sex dreams about me like I told you to?

there better not have been no babies this time!
