The pedigree of honey
Does not concern the bee;

OK, we need something to argue about.
Just posted on zomblog:
Here come the pro-Expelled demonstrations
Oh dear.Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the classroom...a protester promoting the claims put forth in Ben Stein’s controversial film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed showed up on the U.C. Berkeley campus today to argue with students about creationism and atheism.
When I stumbled across this scene, I didn’t at first notice the Expelled card on his sign. It’s rare to see anti-atheism protesters in Berkeley (as you might imagine), so I stuck around for a while to eavesdrop on the ongoing arguments.
It wasn’t until I circled around to the back that I got the full gist of his intent.
And then it hit me — Oooohhh, he was inspired to confront the UC students by Ben Stein, who thinks creationism should be given equal time in science classes alongside evolutionary biology. (Which, in my opinion, is a completely ludicrous demand, seeing as creationism is not science. Teach theology in Sunday school; in biology class, stick to the scientific method. This review of the film pretty much sums up my opinions on the matter.)
I don't create reality -- I just report on it. So don't blame me for the topic!

I think a lot - actually most - folks out here don't realize that Hillary couldn't really go after Obama after Super-Tuesday - if she did, the super-delegates could well have all announced for Obama to get her to shut up. They may still do so. But McCain and the 527's don't have to worry about anything except winning the election.
And I hope, pray and expect that excellent blogs like LGF will continue to expose Obama for the person he really is: Anti-America, Anti-Israel and Anti-White (unless being neutral or pro-White would help him at any particular junction).

Just can't see Hillary getting the delegates... that is why I posted ickes' comment earlier (on the other thread.) Her own guy admitted that even if the MI and FL delegates were seated Hillary would still need in the vincinity of 150 more delegates.
I just can't imagine the remaining uncommitted superdelegates going against the trend. Sure, even if Hillary technically won IN by 20,000 votes, that is still much closer than some had thought it would be.
Even former Clinton cabinet members (who are superdelegates) have drifted from the fold...
Anyway, long time ago (2007) I thought that Clinton was the odds on favorite and that their political machine would deliver for them. However, Obama has surprised us. Guy has got charisma and more importantly - hair (which most of the older white guys running for office lack.)
So onward and upward to the general election.
Speaking of which, I have yet to figure out how much relevance to give to Newt's latest rant.

re: #95 freetoken Oh I understand what you're saying, I'm just saying I think she'll hang in there for the floor fight that I feel is coming!
Real question is: Will Obama offer her VP? and if he does, will she take it?
Watch the MSM spin it that way - that if she doesn't take VP slot she's hurting the Dem party chances.
But again, do you think Obama would offer the VP slot to her?

When most colleges have tenured professors like Ayres, not much of other side of coin is taught or allowed.
I have problems with the tenure system. You can't fire downright incompetents, for one thing. On the other hand, as someone who has done a lot of teaching in colleges on a part-time (non-tenured) basis, I sure wish I had it. I feel tremendous pressure to not make waves...to put it gently.

But once you get a bunch of lefties in control of a department, they make all the hiring and tenure decisions.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I've heard, that is not an accurate description of Stein's views.
I think it's implied. He says that teachers who discuss creationism are ostracized -- which he portrays as a bad thing. Hence, the implication is that they shouldn't be ostracized...with the inevitable consequence that their views will end up getting taught in the classroom.

It's $4.59 here right now. The controller sent a message on the qualcomm warning us that he has word diesel prices might hit $6.00 a gallon by Labor Day.
You heard it here first...
That's the perfect time for the GOP to sledgehammer the dimocrats, right before the election, since this is all because of their alliance with the radical environmentalists, who continually block us from drilling for oil here in the USA.
If we could drill in ANWR, it would be in a ridiculously small area. To give everyone here an idea, take a quarter, and put it in the middle of a 9 foot by 12 foot rug. that would be the area affected, and after we're done, you'd never know we were there...

zombie,
No, he says "intelligent design" -- which I, and a lot of other people, see as nothing but a transparent euphemism for creationism.
I don't think it is at all, which is why discussions on the subject never get anywhere. Both sides (actually there are at least three sides in this debate) are speaking different languages.
I believe in God. I also believe in evolution. So, therefore I believe in intelligent design.
I definitely do not believe in a literal (Biblical) understanding of creation, which is what I understand the term "creationism" to mean.
So when I here someone using the terms intelligent design and creationism interchangeably (be it a religious fundamentalist or an atheist), it seems to me that they are (both) being being a bit dishonest...trying to pervert the true intention of the term intelligent design.
Does that make sense?

You need to remember that the "progressive" mode of thought requires the reversal of definition. Thus behavior that is objectively identified as racist is seen by the progressive mind as non-racist. This may also explain their constant rejection of the civilization and their pining for the stone age.

That might be correct, zombie. But if you look at from the way the electoral college is set, Hillary wins way more votes than Obama. Obama tends to win the smaller states with few electoral votes, other than Illinois, his home state, while Hillary wins NY, TX, CA, PA, OH, and MI and FL if they were counted.

re: #218 Ringo the Gringo
Does that make sense?
Yes.
But it's not like there is one accurate definition of "intelligent design" and two mendacious intentional misdefinitions. There are simply three different groups arguing over what it means. Since the phrase is a recent invention, there is no traditional "correct" meaning.
Actually, there are only two different real meanings being fought over. Both the religious fundamentalists AND the atheists agree that it basically has the same meaning as "creationism" used to have. It's the "Can't we all just get along?" middle-of-the-road reasonable types (such as you, I suppose) who want it to mean "God created the universe at the beginning of time and also the laws of nature and just let them work their magic -- in a way we now term "evolution"; but since God created the laws of nature to begin with, everything exhibits his 'intelligent design.'" I actually have no problem with that belief system, since the theological aspects of it impinge only on the parts that have no bearing on science (i.e. questions like "Where did the universe come from to begin with?' As an agnostic, my answer is, "How the hell do I know?")
But there's plenty of evidence floating around that the term "intelligent design" was originally dreamt up by actual creationists to hide their true intentions, since the term "creationism" had already lost any panache it might have had. Slap a new label on it, and it's a new idea. What's strange about the story is that the name was hijacked not by extremists, but by moderates, who now use "intelligent design" to describe their not-unscientific moderate stance that God created the universe and then let it run according to his original plan. But the creationists are hoping to get "intelligent design" introduced into classrooms as a Trojan Horse to bring back real honest-to-God creationism into schools. In fact, they say as much, openly.
Why is it that most "intelligent design" proponents actively try to challenge evolutionary theory? If they believed as you believe, they'd feel no need to challenge it.

I was an atheist for 20 years and I have great respect for the atheist perspective, which is why I never try to change anyones minds.

Indiana remains too close to call. But what is clear is that we did much better than all the pundits predicted, despite Republicans changing parties to support Senator Clinton, believing she would be easier for Senator McCain to defeat.

Just got a forwarded email from Brad Newsham, the mastermind behind the "Beach Impeach" events and hyper-mooonbat extraordinaire. He's also nuttier than an almond orchard. He just announced that he's running against Barbara Lee for the Democratic nomination for Congress in her Oakland district. Considering that Barbara Lee is already the most left-wing member of Congress, what motivation could he possibly have to run against her? Even Brad himself admits he agrees with her on 99% of the issues. But there's one issue where he disagrees, and that is sufficient to challenge her seat. Lee, you see, simply refuses to call for a vote on Bush and Cheney's impeachment. She's just a running dog to Nancy Pelosi, who announced that impeachment was "off the table" (since there weren't nearly enough votes to get it passed).
So Brad, quixotically, is going to try to unseat Barbara Lee for the specific purpose of getting to Congress in January of 2009 and starting impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney.
Now, if you can spot the flaw in this plan, raise your hand.

That's an awful lot of red. Just goes to show the big cities, by hook or by crook elect most of our officials.
True, but in fairness, they also hold most of the population.
I think tonights results pretty much end it for Clinton. (And by the way, I posted over a year ago, that I believed that the conventional wisdom that it was a foregone conclusion that Clinton would be the nominee was wrong).
While she hasn't been mathematically eliminated, short of *another* major scandal or other surprise seriously undermining Obama's candidacy, she simply won't be able to get enough superdelegates to win the nomination.
The question is how long/badly is she going to fight it now, and what is she going to ask for in quid-pro-quo from Obama to drop out gracefully.
In terms of VP selection, I believe its highly unlikely that she will be offered or accept the VP nod.

Ultimately to win the election, Obama has to win the swing states, and he hasn't yet proved he can do that.
Actually, I'd say at this point that either Obama or McCain *could* win. Its simply too early to tell.
Its also probably reasonable to think that with the election 5+ months off, some event/events completely off everyone's radar screen might affect things. Even though it seems highly likely that Obama will *eventually* get the Dem nomination, its not clear how that nomination process will play out, and how badly (if at all) it will hurt him.

If you're an experienced military pharmacist you can retire at the next available opportunity and if you want to, you're guaranteed a civilian job. There's a shortage, take your pick.
/it's different but probably pays better
minor problem with that scenario: i'm a tech... (former 91Q)
Houeshold 6 is the resident pharmacist.
since i've survived 3 bouts with Anaphylaxis of varying degrees of severity, including one of full on, no shit, you're gonna die in minutes shock, i am loathe to take employment in my primary area of expertise, which is compounding parenteral preparations, due to my proven w*rk related allergy to Cephalosporins.
my other options are more constrained and also less remunerative, or are extremely rare.
IOW: i've gotta get back in school & get my degree.

Lopez Obrador, aka the Mexican Al Gore; has evolved.
Now he's either Robespierre or Stalin.
Yesterday, one of his main henchmen declared -for all Mexico to listen- that whoever critizes Lopez Obrador is a traitor to Mexico. The actual translation is a traitor to the Fatherland, although in Spanish doesn't sound as bad as in German lol
He has begun to purge his own political party, Partido de la Revolucion Democratica, demanding that a group of important commies be kicked out, among them the Speaker of the House (a woman here, too), and several Senators and Congressmen.
The purge seems to be a major one, as candidates for expulsion are thousands upon thousands.
This is costing the total wreck of the party, as it is divided in two opposing and truly enemy camps: those for him, those against him.
The meltdown in the left is amazing, and his personal meltdown is even worse.
22 months ago, in the Presidential Election he got 35% of the vote, today, I doubt he can gather 8%, as even ample groups in the left oppose him by now.
The left is commiting suicide, and its Jim Jones is Lopez Obrador.

Isn't it horrible to grade poor tests? It's discouraging and takes so much more time and concentration.
Before deciding on the future of the course, see how your "canaries" did--the ones who were attentive and did their work. Like canaries in a mine, theirs is a much more fair indication than the work of the boneheads.

One habit of modern Democrats is that they tend to fall in love with candidates who are both unknown and untested. The superdelegates will now have to decide if Mr. Obama is more like the Jimmy Carter of 1976 – or Michael Dukakis.

Even Obamas NC victory speech was depressing.He painted a picture of a woeful country in which everybody except oilmen are poor wretches.
He has no allegiance to America as is, but to the utopia that he plans to create.
Spot on.

re: #496 goddessoftheclassroom
The "canaries" (maybe "stoolies" would be a better term) did very well, but the rank and file did horrible, and they made up 80% of the class -- that 80% is looking to fail the exam, while the other group are looking at As (I' haven't finished the last section of the exam yet). Completely bipolar distribution.
One difference is that they obviously hadn't read the material -- that became palpably clear throughout the course. Actually, it's something of a trend. Students nowadays don't think they should have to read. In fact, if it's not in Wikipedia, they think it's obviously not worth knowing. This was the Vikings/Anglo-Saxons course -- the readings are for the most part pretty entertaining and not terribly difficult. But they just would not do them. I suppose I could have given regular reading quizzes, but (1) I don't want to grade them, and (2) this is college for heaven's sake -- I shouldn't have to be forcing them to do their work. I've got my own kids to do that with.
As for the exam itself, I've used the format many times -- it is primarily based on interpretation of short excerpts from the readings and other class materials. It's all stuff we've gone over in class multiple times and the kind of thing either you know it or you don't. They didn't; they flopped around like fish in the cockpit of a boat. What gets me is talking to students afterwards they had no idea they did so poorly -- reading the exams and watching them, I get the impression they felt they could just BS their way through the test like they have through High School. Nope, sorry, doesn't work that way.
Why not offer the course, or at least in its current form? The idea was a relatively low-impact and interesting course as a "feeder" into the major. But unfortunately it attracts weak students, that or seniors who want to do it for fun. So the course is not doing what it was supposed to, and to bring it down to the level of most of the students who are signing up for it would make it a caricature, not a serious course. I'd rather just not do a course if I can't do it well.

57 degrees and rainy along the Lake Michigan shoreline, happy hump day lizards.
Had a heckuva day yesterday... I'm working with a client who has advanced MS and a closed head injury. I have to move her in and out of her wheelchair, give her a bath, etc. with a hoyer lift.
She's scared to death of the hoyer and cries every time she has to be moved. She's also in a tremendous amount of pain and I spent most of my day trying to comfort her while being yelled at and told to fuck off.
I really, really wish that I didn't have to take my first lessons with the hoyer with such a fragile client, but I'll grit my teeth and do what I have to do.
I'm going back for round two later this morning.

Anybody know anything about Macs? Daughter's finder isn't working and it is restarting every 30 seconds. Math exam due in an hour.
I'm no genius, but first you might want to boot into safe mode (hold down Shift key during startup). If it successfully boots, then restart normally. This can resolve some software confusion. Then, later, go to Finder>Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility. Click on MacHD and repair permissions. All this is just throwing stuff against the wall, but it has worked for me when it wasn't a hardware fault. I hope it can work before the exam. Good luck.

Well now it is all up to Johnny Maverick. Billary gave him the info and the tools to use, i.e. Obama- no experience and really, really bad associations, but so far the Maverick has shown himself to be a concerning melange of Bob Dole and Gerald Ford.
The Maverick needs to understand that Presidential elections are like American Idol, a popularity contest. Standing next to a smiling and energetic B Hussein O he will sadly look the geezer, and his political experience reflects election from a single state. On a national level Bush wiped the floor with him in 2000.
This year's election will come down to whoever gets the Hispanic vote. In the meantime, I need to research which countries have liberal immigration laws if Obama wins.

We can't talk while preparing to bomb the snot of them?
If the decision to bomb Iran has been made then I agree that it would be a good idea to talk to them and lull them into a false sense of security so the bombing will be more of a surprise and thus more effective.
But if no decision to bomb has been made then unless one believes that Iran can be talked out of their nuke program, all that can be done is to try to bluff them out of building nukes. Talking to them in this scenario may be counterproductive - very thinly disguised troop/ordnance movements may send a better message.

Obama's: Axis of Marxists (IBD)
Barack Obama wishes questions about his associations with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and other radicals would end. But maybe the reason they won't is that there's a pattern: Marxism. It's not hiding.When one looks at Obama, it's shocking how radical and anti-American his closest associates are. Taken separately, the black liberation theology of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, or fundraiser William Ayers' unrepentant past as a 1960s terrorist or Obama's openly pro-Che Guevara volunteers in Houston might be dismissed.
But taken together, and given Obama's closeness to his friends, it's fair to ask whether Obama doesn't share their extreme-left views. Yet whenever he's asked, he gets mad and avoids the issue.
Maybe that's not surprising, given that Obama himself began his career as a Chicago community organizer and worked on projects there influenced by Saul Alinsky. The Marxist Machiavellian of the Chicago scene advised budding revolutionaries in his 1971 book "Rules For Radicals" to conceal their radical affiliations to attain greater power. That works well for Marxists.

A court source said a preliminary inquiry had been launched over "racial and religious discrimination" by Le Pen for saying that the Nazis' killing of Jews in gas chambers was a mere "detail" of World War II.
"I said that the gas chambers were a detail of the history of the Second World War. That seems to me quite clear," Le Pen said on a documentary aired last month, referring to a conviction in 1987 for similar comments, for which was heavily fined.
In the new case, brought by a Jewish group and an anti-racism organisation, he now faces charges of "disputing a crime against humanity and incitement to racial hatred," the court source said Tuesday

BEIJING, May 6 (Xinhua) -- Chinese citizens must register their identities when they buy potentially deadly knives, Xinhua quoted the Ministry of Public Security on Tuesday as saying.
The new regulations come as China steps up security ahead of the Beijing Olympics.
The targeted daggers include those with blood grooves, lock-knives, and knives with blades measuring over 22 centimeters, the ministry said in a circular posted on its website, [Link: www.mps.gov.cn...]
Police departments at all levels should check knife manufacturers for illegal production of deadly weapons, it said.
Regulations concerning knife tools used by China's ethnic groups are to be set by local autonomous governments, the report said.

Notes from the Loans Desk
As the year grinds along and I have time to look at what passes for leadership in this country, I have to shake my head sadly at the mediocrity we’re stuck with due to many various reasons. It seems we are in a perpetual election cycle, with the amount of tar getting thrown about getting shriller and stranger as time goes on.
Hillary Rodham Clinton:
PROS: A Money Machine to be envied for fundraising for her possible nomination
Experience over many years in various capacities as an elected official, and being a First Lady.
CONS: Seemingly lacking anything remotely resembling a sense or humor. (Is it just me, or does she look severely burned out?)
A sense of entitlement to the nomination. (Her reaction to Barak Huissen Obama’s possible nomination was, shall we say, a bit much?)
Her husband, Former President William Clinton (if you think he won’t be a drag on her ticket, you haven’t been paying attention).
A grasping and over-reaching personality (Some of her quotes when addressing people have been downright Statist in tone and her attempts to keep her marriage off-limits in the political debates, while laughable, show a severe disconnect with reality. All’s fair these days).
The Whitewater Scandal (This will be brought up. Bank on it).
Trying to be everything to everyone. (her attempt to affect a Southern accent in Selma was embarrassing to say the least. People prefer you when you are genuine. This was an obvious example of sucking up).
Trying to have it both ways:Publicly crying while trying to say you are tough enough to do the job of President fails to impress me. As it will fail to impress leaders around the planet a lot colder, more brutal and vicious than myself.
Predictions: She’ll tar and feather her opponents and generally throw a tantrum and how she was cheated out of her chance for the big seat. In essence, a female Al Gore.
UPDATE: Now in a very close race with Senator Obama and the kid's gloves have come off. As predicted, 'Dollar Bill' has become a immense drag and an embarrassment to the campaign. Also has tried the crying strategy again and failed to impress, as well as playing Latinos Vs Blacks for Votes. Plus her sniper fire nonsense. I'm not impressed. A person who pursues power at any price is the last person you want in charge of the U.S.
UPDATE II: She's taken a sound drubbing in North Carolina and squeaked by in Indiana. Normally I'd say stick a fork in her, but the prospect of her wasting more money fighting to the bitter end while exposing more of her ugliness and Obama's secrets will prove entertaining in the extreme

Barak Huissen Obama
PROS: Relative inexperience in politics: this is being perceived as a plus as the disgust level with organized politics reaches record levels
Better spoken than any of the other candidates on the field so far: Don’t laugh, as this is not a joke
Appearance of a Old Style ‘JFK’ Democrat Politics and a willingness to treat other party members with a modicum of respect and ignore the hardliners in his party: Given the level of venom being tossed around these days, this is a major plus.
A singular capacity to ignore 60’s style race card politics: Mr. Obama scares the daylights out of Old Style race hustlers like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton because he doesn’t go in for the guilt politics used over the last some 42 years since the Selma March and shows that a black candidate can make it to the top without engaging in such tactics. Which drives the current leadership to distraction because it upsets their worldview. And thus the ‘he’s not black enough’ accusations from the old timers.
CONS: His name: Barak HUISSEN Obama: Regrettably, his parentage of a Kenyan Black Muslim for a father is going to set many people on edge, as understandable fear of Muslims is gaining traction these days, much like fear of Germans and Japanese during WWII. And no amount of social engineering is going to make this disappear. It’s unfair. It’s wrong. It’s NOT going away. Deal with it.
Relative inexperience: Double-edged sword. People are going to look at him and wonder what makes him a leader.
Social Policies that are Old Style Democratic Party...Circa 1970: Sorry, but Pro-Union Support and Expanded Health Care Benefits, now the largest sector of the economy, outstripping the military significantly, just doesn’t cut the mustard anymore. Younger people these days can add and can see the freight train coming. And are growing increasingly resentful of the Boomers since they will be stuck with the bill. So these policies are not going to fly as well as Barak (and Hillary) would like.
Predictions: Possible Clincher for the nomination and a good chance of turning the Old Democratic Party way of doing things out to Pasture. Not to mention kick the loonier branches of the party into the corner.
UPDATE: He's done quite well for himself and it seems to be more from a general disgust for the Clinton's than from anything he's really done. But problems have begun to show. His wife's rather distasteful Statement as being in front of all the delegates at a states conference and saying it was the first time she was 'proud to be an American' will not sit well with many, as it speaks of a massive level of ingratitude. There are also rumors of Obama's ties to Rezko which make him begin to appear like a Chicago-style operator pulling a very slick 'cleanliness' campaign.
Then we add his ties to a Racialist preacher who turns out to be a former Nation Of Islam adherant and suddenly we're getting a very ugly picture that the media really isn't reporting for us. And Don't expect them too either.
UPDATE II: How quickly the shine falls off. Having contacts with a pair of former Terrorists from the Weather Undergound doesn't do much for me personally. His replacement preacher is just as bad if not worse, and his wife is pulling a fair imitation of a cross between Marie Antionnette and Imelda Marcos. With all the other little flip-flops he's made, He begins to resemble John Kerry. Not a Good sign for the Dems here, Volks

ohn Edwards:
PROS: Telegenic: well, physically anyway. He tries a bit too hard to be the Second Coming of JFK, tho
CONS: Associated with Al Gore: Kinda like being associated with William Jefferson Clinton, but only boring. Remember this guy was added to make Gore look bigger on his ticket.
Highly Visible Sucking Up: You see, there is the little matter of his mansion, well complex, while saying he supports the little guy...
Trial Lawyer: nuff said
Questionable Judgement: These was this little problem with a blogger that he hired, saying some really vile things about Christians. Which he fired. Then hired back. I could have respected the former action, as it showed general decency. But now, shades of Kerry. Also channeled a spirit in court once.
Prediction: Unsure. Possible contender against Obama. Likely Road Kill.
UPDATE: Roadkill
UPDATE II: Still Roadkill. And Stamping his well appointed feet about it

Jewels (AKA Julian) Wed, May 7, 2008 6:04:57am |
Alfred Gore:
PROS: Former Vice President
CONS: Leads The Green Movement: Is currently called the Goracle by the Greens. That’s not a joke
Still Bitter about 2000 and 2004: Retracting a concession? Has that ever happened in presidential politics. Historically, No.
Given to tall tales: like Inventing the Internet, or pushing questionable films
Prediction: Al Gore will bloviate into a higher form of existence to which none can see him, thus removing himself from the race. That or cock up on the trail as people seem him froth at the mouth and fall over backwards.
UPDATE: Al Gore is now the High Pontiff of the Green Religious Movement, sometimes called the Green Party, and is now trying to warn the world about Global Warming. The fact that the Northern Hemisphere is now seeing the coldest temperatures it has had in decades does not deter him. But people have gotten wise to his nonsense, and so the expected forced legislation when one of his ilk doesn't get what they want will be coming soon.
UPDATE II: The Goreacle is now pushing the idea that Anthropogenic Global Warming is responsible for the Myanmar Hurricane. No mention tha the Myanmar government made no preperations for it's people in the case of such things. You stay classy Al. A bit more work and you be like Reverends Sharpton, Jackson, or Wright.

John McCain
PROS: Former Vietnam Vet and POW
Long Standing Federal Level Senator.
CONS: McCain Feingold: This was a bill that in essence, told Americans how and where they could spend their money and if they didn’t like it, to STFU. Americans don’t like that sort of high handedness.
The Keating 5 Scandel: As a payback for monetary donations from Charles Keating, McCain tried buying him some time from investigative committees. Ethics? Yeah right. I know people who were affected by this and this is going to come up if he tries to run.
Anti-Illegal Immigration Enforcement: for some this might not seem a drag but people in the southern states are rapidly loosing their sense of humor with Washington over this issue and some states are taking actions in defiance of central government regardless if they loose the federal funds or not. A hint that something has gone wrong, but try tell Sen McCain or honestly any of the other presidential candidates that. Unless you were cynical and saying they were chasing future votes or anything and not doing their jobs, telling law enforcement to do their jobs.
UPDATE: Now the Current GOP Pick for Presidential nominee. Admittedly surprising, but we'll see where this goes. Currently digging in and taking notes from the Democrat Party's Hari-Kiri
UPDATE II: Mr McCain seen recently at a La Raza/MECHA rally. IS this like a black man going to a Klan function? Hello? Do you even pay attention to what they say, and I don't mean the stuff for regular public consumption?

Mitt Romney:
PROS: Governor in Massachusetts
Former Business CEO
Ran The Olympic Committee in Salt Lake City
CONS: He’s a Mormon: To which the Mainstream Press has been playing up to great effect, giving not-so-subtle insinuations of some of the nastier things about Mormonism...from about a century back. Nice work guys.
UPDATE: Road Kill. While not a pick, still a contender with the more conservative branch of the Republican party. Possible VP pick?
Problems facing the nation that will come up in one form or another in the election
1 Illegal Immigration: Yes, I know. I've heard the sob stories about breaking up of families, children seperated from their parents, disruption to the economy and blah blah blah. Guess what? I don't care. We've got too many instances of gang related assassinations, ethnic cleansing in California of Blacks by Latinos in LA (there are way too many assaults of this type to call it anything else), and far to many La Raza (The Race)Types baying for the return of 'Alto California' because of it's 'theft' (was paid for after we kicked mexico's ass), and far too much support from Mexico in the form government pamphlets and occasional military support for this to be considered anything else other than a hostile, if subtle, invasion.
Unfortunately, Fed-gov has proven worse than useless in helping with the problem, mumbling platitudes about 'sensitivity', 'understanding' and other such boiler plate and otherwise helping the problem along, because enforcing the law is 'Racist' and 'logistically impossible' (translation: it would get us voted out of office by those we consider important).
But at the state level, Particularly in Arizona, new laws are being implimented which have been effective, such as the Two Strikes law which a business is audited for illegal workers. The first time they are warned to fire the workers. If they are caught with them again, they lose their business license. Period. It seems to be working as illegals are abandoning Arizona in a deluge. It's even drawn complaints from Mexico cites on the border that they cannot handle the influx of their own citizens across the border and want Arizona to stop.
Someone call Funkin-Wagnel. I've got a photograph that needs to be put next to the Chutzpah entry. I hope to see more laws like this. It's quite legal and if it spreads across the other states effected, it will force the people who normally don't have to deal with the down side of illegal immigration to have it rubbed in their faces. It's coming to a head. About damned time.

Michelle Obama's college paper Thesis of my "Blackness"
My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'blackness' than ever before," the future Mrs. Obama wrote in her thesis introduction. "I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second."
I guess it has never occurred to Michelle that Liberals and Marxists are pretty much all about signaling out differences. She should consider associating and seeking out conservatives and she won't feel so, "Identified".

re: #609 sparrowlake
If the decision to bomb Iran has been made then I agree that it would be a good idea to talk to them and lull them into a false sense of security so the bombing will be more of a surprise and thus more effective.
But if no decision to bomb has been made then unless one believes that Iran can be talked out of their nuke program, all that can be done is to try to bluff them out of building nukes. Talking to them in this scenario may be counterproductive - very thinly disguised troop/ordnance movements may send a better message.
Also, talking to them in the former scenario will give us plenty of proof from them that they are unreasonable and committed to a nuke.

TEHRAN, May 6 (MNA) -- Iran’s ambassador to the UN nuclear watchdog, Ali-Asghar Soltanieh, has called for the implementation of Article VI of the Non-Proliferation Treaty which calls for total nuclear disarmament.
Addressing the NPT Review Conference and its Preparatory Committees in Geneva on Monday, he accused the United States, France, and Britain of violating articles I, IV, and VI of the NPT and specifically of facilitating Israel’s nuclear weapons program.

last bit
Energy: this one both parties (and the U.S. State Department) had hoped that no one would notice, namely OPEC is trying to pull the same gag that they had in the 1970's and hopefully, get the same results. Given that Obama's policies have reminded more than one person of James Earl Carter, I can see why. But there are enough people alive who remember the Oil Crunch of the 70's who would skin the hide off of our senators at the Federal levels that I'm not seeing that happening. A Few problems that are going to hit along the way:
Green Resistance to nukes: Given the level of insanity that the Green Movement has devolved into, the U.S. Trying to knock up over 400 nuclear reactors over the U.S. to offset oil expenses, I'd expect to see all sorts of hayduking and eco-terrorist actions to prevent this. But it must be done if we are to get anywhere.
More refineries: We really do need more of these. We've actually got a lot of unrefined oil sitting about while they wait for the choke point of being refined. The last one was built in 1976. Hmm...I'm seeing a pattern here.

re: #738 BabbaZee
Now hold on just a minute there Babba! Some of the differences between men and women are in fact in our genetic makeup and have been there since God put us here.
For example - Waay back when, we had gatherers who were almost always women and hunters who were almost always men. We men would go out and try to track down a Wooly Mammouth and kill it with what musta seemed like a toothpick to him, then drag it's ass back to "town" so we could all eat. The woman would go out together and gather: berries and various fruits, grains and what not together.
Now today, if I need a new shirt, I go into a store, slay it, throw it over my shoulder and come home.
But 88% of women will go out and "feel all the fruits, grains and nuts" and of course check with each other over which ones were the best, gather them and bring 'em home.
So today if a gaggle of women go shopping together, they all look, they all touch and they all confer amongst each other before deciding NOTHING IS RIPE enough yet and then they come home and yell at us men for not killing a big enough Wooly Mammouth!

re: #780 realwest
Now hold on just a minute there Babba! Some of the differences between men and women are in fact in our genetic makeup and have been there since God put us here.
For example - Waay back when, we had gatherers who were almost always women and hunters who were almost always men. We men would go out and try to track down a Wooly Mammouth and kill it with what musta seemed like a toothpick to him, then drag it's ass back to "town" so we could all eat. The woman would go out together and gather: berries and various fruits, grains and what not together.
Now today, if I need a new shirt, I go into a store, slay it, throw it over my shoulder and come home.
But 88% of women will go out and "feel all the fruits, grains and nuts" and of course check with each other over which ones were the best, gather them and bring 'em home.
So today if a gaggle of women go shopping together, they all look, they all touch and they all confer amongst each other before deciding NOTHING IS RIPE enough yet and then they come home and yell at us men for not killing a big enough Wooly Mammouth!
There's a lot of truth to that...

He may have played a bit "nice" here with Mr. G - not attacking witnesses, etc. with a defense case, etc. Maybe he's looking at avoidance of a paid stay in the slam by flipping.

ISLAMABAD: Nationalist Pashtun senators from Balochistan accused religious extremist and foreign elements on Tuesday of defying government authority, especially in the NWFP and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).During a debate on the law and order situation in the country, moved by Leader of the Opposition Senator Kamil Ali Agha, the senators expressed their concern over the “fast deteriorating” law and order in the country. They took particular note of the incidents of kidnapping for ransom.
“The state administration has completely collapsed. Government writ is not seen anywhere, especially in the Pashtun-dominated areas of NWFP. Outlaws are kidnapping, looting and killing innocent people at will. And our Corps Commanders and inspector generals are bargaining for the release of the abducted rather than taking action against criminal elements,” said Pushtoonkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP)’s Senator Abdul Rahim Mandokhail in his opening remarks.
Expressing disappointment over the law-enforcement agencies’ inability to trace abducted Pakistani Ambassador Tariq Azizuddin almost two months after his kidnapping, he also questioned whether the agencies were sponsoring such elements themselves.

re: #854 auldtrafford Ah yeah, as I think I said upthread or on one of the Dem blogs late last night, Hillary really hasn't taken any BIG SHOTS at Obama yet, lest she piss off more superdelegates than necessary. But no way this doesn't go to a fight at the convention, no matter how the superdelegates turn in the coming weeks - and once in a floor fight, I would NOT suggest you bet against the Hildebeast!

As soon as we wave the magic wand of law enforcement and eliminate handguns (stated Obama goal), then they will pick the next target (back to the Clinton-created "assault weapon" lie-mongering), then scoped rifles (snipers use those, dontcha know) and so on down the line to starter pistols and your Red Ryder carbine. Much as in Formerly Great Britain, where serious regulations on kitchen knives (I did see the China link, thanks!) are either in discussion or in effect.
There is also a general ban on unapproved language. You can expect that here as well. It will start with lawsuits, gov't commissions and tickets (as in Formerly Great Britain) and progress to full-on Shari'a beatings in the street by masked Islamist squads in taxpayer-provided black vans.

Quick question to able-brained lizards out there.
When I do a search for my comments for example, how come I can only find 2008's and not any of the later posts? I've even used the to and from dates and the query "user:xxx".
What am I doing wrong?
Here's how I handle it. Do a search based on the default settings. Then, look at the url. This is what I got from your nic:
"http: //littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/lgf-search.php?d oSearch=search&searchWith=lgf&searchWhat=c omments&searchFrom=2008-04-30&searchTo=200 8-05-07&searchString=%22user%3AMiss+Trixie%22 "
Notice how the date range is in the url?
Now edit the url in the box to cover the date range you are
looking for.

Remember, guns kill.
Instead of stalking an animal and then shooting it for food, we're going to stalk animals and then take pictures of them and leave them food to eat. We'll give the pictures to the State so they can make sure we didn't take pictures of underage animals (but kiddie porn will be legal as it is freedom of speech), then we'll pay for extra permits to get a black and white copy of the picture we took, then we'll take the bus back home.
Hunting, Socialist Style.

The Republican Primary results.
McCain already has the nod. Unless he drops out or we find out that he likes little boys, it is impossible for anyone else to become the candidate. Yet over a quarter of NC voted for people OTHER than him. (Heck, Ron Paul got 8%)
Huckabee, who dropped out, got 12%. 4% said they didn't care who it was (but wouldn't vote McCain)
Those are protest votes.

The Democratic-led House of Representatives will this week debate a new war spending bill that includes a provision to pull US combat troops out of Iraq by December 2009, lawmakers said Tuesday.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that the budget for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan would be debated from Thursday.Such a bill would require the administration of President George W. Bush to begin a pullout within 30 days after the bill becomes law, and would require that the Iraqis finance their country's reconstruction.
"President Bush insists on war without end in Iraq, but Democrats in Congress stand with Americans who want to bring our troops home responsibly, safely and soon, and with taxpayers who believe that the Iraqi government must begin to pay its fair share for the reconstruction of their country," Pelosi said in a statement.
If the bill is adopted by Congress, it is expected that Bush would veto the measure due to his longstanding opposition to fixed timetables for troops withdrawals.
Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have promised to start a pullout as quickly as possible should either one of them succeed Bush in January 2009 following November elections.
Obama has estimated the process would take some 16 months.

Yeah, but even the libs always are quick to add "we have nothing against hunters". So I'd envision something like; you get to "own" a government-approved hunting rifle or shotgun (single-shot only, minimum barrel length of 33 inches or so). "Own", meaning, it has to be stored at a goverment-regulated gun facility. You can sign it out to go hunting. Accompanied by a federally-licensed Animal Welfare Enabler (who you pay for, of course). Who will hold your ammunition. (Etc.)

The Dems are going to be very hard put to win the WH in November without the white vote. McCain may appear unwilling to enter the racial fray, but you can bet it's going to be a BIG issue if BHO is the 'date.

Whether she wins the nod or not, her campaign ends. How are they going to pay back over 11 million dollars?
Frankly, I don't know why they're calling it a loan. She's using her money to finance her own campaign.
However, saying that makes it look like she doesn't have a shot, so she 'loans it' out instead.

Aside from the vote in Texas, there was caucusing later. Both events tied into the delegate allocation, and the caucus results did not exactly coincide with the voting (of course, voting is secret - caucusing is not).

I'm not 100% certain, but I think Dems award delegates by congressional district. Hillary was closer to Obama in the districts he won. It's the same way a candidate can win the electoral college, but lose the popular vote.

I have dealt with people who believed that a 'good compromise' is that the 2nd Amendment applies to ownership of firearms, but that all firearms should be stored in government buildings, so no firearms are in the home where a child might find it and hurt themselves.
So, it is kind of like owning stock. You have a piece of paper saying you own a gun, but you don't actually HAVE anything.

If she makes it a "loan" then the campaign has to pay her back. They will continue to solicit contributions to her campaign after she loses to pay her back. Typical Hillary. Looking out for number one and her pocket book...
