Poets, we know, are terribly sensitive people, and in my observation one of the things they are most sensitive about is money.

So it appears partitioning Iraq into three parts was a pet project of Joe Biden.
US Senate calls for Iraq's partition

The proposal to breaking up Iraq into decentralized regions came from Senator Joseph Biden, who heads the chamber's foreign relations committee and is running for the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nomination.

Biden has long championed the federal plan, saying it would give Iraq's main groups 'breathing room in their own regions' and speed up a US troop withdrawal.

But partition would raise concern in neighbouring Turkey, which is fighting a Kurdish separatist movement and would be wary of broader autonomy for Iraqi Kurds across the border.

Sunni-led Saudi Arabia would likely fear a further rise in Iranian influence over Iraq if Iraqi Shiites controlled their own mini-state.

On Iraq, Biden is Worse than McCain

Barack Obama may be doing the one thing that might have seemed impossible: he's picking a running mate whose ideas about Iraq are even worse than, and stupider than, John McCain's.

Obama, whose mushy Iraq plan excites no one, is marrying his own's flawed ideas -- which mostly revolve around beefing up US forces in Afghanistan and unilaterally attacking Pakistan -- with Biden's discredited notion of partitioning Iraq into three squabbling mini-states.

Does anybody see the Biden-Obama ticket actually working?

I'm sorry, but I can't put it together.

It destroys Obama's posture as a 'Change' agent.
Biden is so experienced that it makes you wonder why HE isn't the party nominee for the presidency, not Vice presidency.
Obama has very fixed ideas about things which are bound to conflict with the seasoned Biden, especially on foreign policy issues.
And in the debates, Biden might very well be able to hold his own against the Republican VP, but Obama will still get utterly destroyed by McCain.

Am I missing something?

Look at Biden with his plugs
And Obama with his jugs
Ears a'flappin'

Hair today, gone tomorrow
Biden is a hairy sorrow
Mouth a'flappin'
Blovious rappin'
Obama has gravitas to borrow!

Now, I admit I'm just a junkey
Here, without the BuzzSaw Monkey
Softly deridin'
Senator Biden
Obamessiah's loopy, Old-Guy flunkey!

Joe Biden: sets the gap to widen
Obama: No more poll-gap ridin'
Loser One
Loser Two
"Joe-Bama" where they're coincidin'

JoBama, you can always hope
JoBama, now you've got the rope
From sea to range
You hope for change
And hang yourselves off a SLIPPERY SLOPE!

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Well we've seen YouTube videos out here starring Biden and making some pretty racist or edge of rascist remarks, not just the "articulate, fresh and clean" one, but a buncha others, so the Dems won't miss Byrd all that much.
What astounds me NO END is that Obama didn't at least APPEAR to consider Hillary as his VP nominee.
There were women - LOTS of women, and some men, on Fox TV today saying, basically PUMA and that they'd vote for McCain because of the way Obama "dissed" Hillary.
I'm not so sure they'll vote for McCain, but I can see them NOT voting for Obama.

Hey K - man, from your lips to God's ears. I think Biden is gonna hurt Obama more than help him (notwithstanding that Biden was already in attack dog mode already today) because of all the things so many others have said: He's the antithesis of Change - been in the Senate since, iirc, before McCain; he's an integral part of the Beltway Crowd, he shoves his foot down his throat further and even more often than does Obama and, as the AP duly noted, "he talks too long"!

On the Obama bin Biden ticket, put a spork in Obama, he's done. I say "spork" because at the rate his brains are running out his ears, that's the utensil you'll need to get any nourishment.

Can't understand the pick. Proves that he lacks the experience for the job. He picks a pathetic poseur like Biden to shore up his perceived lack of experience with the electorate. The only thing Biden has going for him is seniority. I guess the Dem side of the Senate is just like a union shop.

Hillary is far more dangerous to Obama from her current perch in the Senate than she ever would have been as VP. She has four years to build a legislative portfolio, remake her public persona, and make new, powerful political friends... all as a free agent. As VP, Obama could have exercised considerable control over her words, actions, and agenda... and kept her too busy with trivia and dead-end projects to organize a push for 2012. In the Senate she is free to do whatever she pleases.

Oh hell, y'all gotta get to Tombstone!

Plus, of course the REAL boothill is still there (favorite is "Here Lies Lester Moore
Four slugs from a .44
No Les, no more."
And of course the famous Gunfight at the OK corral didn't really happen at the OK Corral but in an alleyway near where Allen Street is today.
But the Tombstone Epitath newspaper is STILL pubishing!
Y'all really ought to go see it!
Oh and BTW, in AZ, y'all can carry a firearm as long as it's not concealed except not in Tombstone, no guns allowed (except by the actors in the re-enactment shows they put on).

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGPSq-uMQSo

The way I see it he said
You just can't win it
Everybody's in it for their own gain
You can't please 'em all
There's always somebody calling you down
I do my best
And I do good business
There's a lot of people asking for my time
They're trying to get ahead
They're trying to be a good friend of mine

I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
There was nobody calling me up for favors
And no one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stoking the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song

I deal in dreamers
And telephone screamers
Lately I wonder what I do it for
If l had my way
I'd just walk through those doors
And wander
Down the Champs Elysées
Going cafe to cabaret
Thinking how I'll feel when I find
That very good friend of mine

I was a free man in Paris
I felt unfettered and alive
Nobody was calling me up for favors
No one's future to decide
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
But for the work I've taken on
Stoking the star maker machinery
Behind the popular song

Japanese team on yeti quest in Nepal -

The exploration team is known as the Yeti Project Japan and is being sponsored by Japanese beverage maker Suntory and a leading Japanese daily newspaper, Asahi Shimbum.

The cameras will be automatically triggered if any large animals pass, the spokeswoman said.

"Takahashi is not interested in capturing a yeti, he just wants to get a clear picture of it, and maybe shake its hand," said Koyama.

I saw some history/science/discovery show a few years ago that said/showed they found a SINGLE hair on a tree (where the creature had been either sleeping or rubbing it's back). I believe it was Nepal or some part of the world in that vicinity. Anyway, the hair was analyzed and it's DNA had no match.

I kinda took it with a grain of salt. I think it's conceivable there are animals/creatures that have yet to be catalogued, but I don't know if I'd get all excited over the idea of Bigfoot.

Well in what are rough economic times (and while we're still ok, I think everyone has to admit that the economy could be doing a LOT better and with workers scared (and rightfully so) of losing their jobs, their companies and their homes, any perception that Obama/Biden can create in the voters minds that McCain simply doesn't get how the average person (voting age, of course) feels and can't relate to them is good for Obama/Biden.
Yes it's a stupid argument coming from two millionaires (albeit Biden was one of the less wealthy members of the Senate) but if they can tag McCain on an inability to relate to average americans, that's a BIG SCORE for them.
I'm hoping McCain's VP is ready to do some seriousl heavy lifting for him.

Our Jack Russel mix named Murphy's idea of hunting is running real fast after the rabbit. Doesn't help that he starts running 100 yards away and the Rabbit sees him before he gets 50 yards away and ducks into the woods.

Squirrels get to the trees to fast, otherwise he'd get them. Except that they run rings around him. Like watching an bg-rig truck try to smash a Geo Storm.

My beagle used to do the mad dash at squirrels, but then he started doing this really slow, one leg at a time, stalking maneuver, until he just can't stand it and takes off - and then they run. It's really quite hilarious to watch :)

Send $200 million to Iran, no strings attached.

Really.

Among other things, he seems to believe the Iranians are Arabs. But of course, that's not the gobsmackingly worst thing about this "idea" (if it even merits the label).

Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words give you a feeling. Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat - the same tightness a man gets when his baby takes his first step or his first baby shaves and makes his first sound as a man. Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words.

I think it was barely a week ago the Washington Post was throwing a hissy-fit on how 'presumptuous' McCain was being by being in direct contact with Saakashvili and denouncing Russia's incursion, almost as if they were transparently trying to deflect attention from someone else's tepid and milquetoast reaction to Russia's military belligerence towards a small ally.

I have never heard Powell say that. I've heard some speculation on the part of the media. But then the media seems bound and determined to present everyone even vaguely minority as an Obama supporter. Us Typical Bitter White Folks clinging desperately to our guns and our religion get to support Hillary. And I'm not sure they have any handle at all on who supports McCain other than the religious right.

Looks like Michelle Malkin is having fun in Denver. From her report on a demonstration at the new Planned Parenthood mega-facility (looks big enough to be a full hospital) -

The ignorance of the pro-abort activists is, frankly, astonishing. This woman, Elaine Brower of NY, stood with the small gaggle of pro-Planned Parenthood cheerleaders attacking pro-lifers as racists.

But when asked whether the barbaric eugenics legacy of Planned Parenthood godmother Margaret Sanger bothered her, she told me: “No, I don’t believe that. That’s made up. This has nothing to do with black people.”

Just exactly how brain dead are people?

Might be time for a little tough love littleold. As in "this is the amount of money you have to live on till you come home. Make it last."

My kids had to pay for college themselves. Most of them spent a couple of years slinging hash first and it has really made them appreciate the privilege. (I did have one so brilliant she went to an Ivy before finishing high school. That, too, was a mistake.)

The partying is a huge problem and has been for decades now. Steve Doucie was blaming college presidents for not ensuring his adult son didn't drink at school the other day, but the real story is that the drinking happens off campus, where the school has no clout.; I know of one incident in the town I went to college in where the party goers were so numerous that when they tried to escape down the back stairs as the cops came up the front they literally tore 2 flights of stairs/porch off the house. Bunch of em got hurt. (Not badly enough.)

Killian, in case you did not notice, there is next to no "welfare" left in this country for any women to be on for long. In all states there is a lifetime limit of five years. In some states there is a limit of TWO years. And all the people on welfare are not black by a long shot. In most areas welfare recipients have about the same proportions of various races as the general population.

The Denver protesters should be damned well aware of that, since it is their Democrat president who did away with most of the welfare safety net in the first place and their messiah who plans even more cuts. (What do you think that "Obama will require us all to work" gig is about?)

Yup, mine have every one had to work and go to college at the same time, take classes year round in order to get a full year's credits in inside 12 months, sometimes attend part time.

I'm not sorry about it though. They all have an appreciation for their education that I certainly did not have my first time out, straight out of high school.

re: #391 littleoldlady

On Monday she's supposed to get her work-study job from school.

We have TJ's here too. You might to think about having her not sign up for a work study job. Often it does not work out well financially. The way it works is that whatever she makes on the work study is deducted from the total amount of financial aid she is eligible for. Most of the time, that can mean that there is not actually enough money to cover the tuition, fees & books and that every penny of the work study needs to go to that. Meanwhile, most people count on that work study job to meet immediate needs and find themselves in a financial bind.

If they opt out of the work study, they end up with the same amount of funding, just all in the grants/loans category. And they can still get an outside job.
