We should have some more photos from Denver soon; I’ve been keeping in touch with Agent Z via SMS on a jailbroken iPhone. Upcoming highlights: the Falun Gong protest, and Angry Joe Biden’s arrival.

Just got this, courtesy a WaPo DNC convention "LiveWire" update:
Clinton Takes on New McCain Ads
DENVER, Colo. -- Hillary Clinton struck back today at John McCain's efforts to woo her supporters in new television ads.“I’m Hillary Clinton and I do not approve that message," Clinton said of the ads that suggest Obama passed over the New York senator because he was threatened by his primary rival. Clinton spoke at the New York Democratic Party’s delegation breakfast this morning at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Denver.
Democrats open their national convention today with an ambitious agenda of selling the presidential candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama to a national audience and unifying a party still recovering from a bruising primary.
Yawn.

Democrats to mock McCain's torture in Veitnam....
Convention alert (w/poll): Jangling keys could backfire on Dems
However, one of my coworkers, who frequents Democratic Underground, alerted me to an article in Salon that reveals an inconvenient reality for delegates planning to jangle keys at the convention.
....McCain has himself described having an adverse reaction to the sound of jangling keys, which reminds him of his Vietnam jailers.
....
At first glance, I tend to agree with Denise that, by going with the "jangling keys," we run the risk of being painted with the Traditional Media Megaphone as being insensitive to McCain's PTSD and, as is customary for right-wingers in general, as "not supporting the troops." All fodder for McCain's pet right-wing noise machine.

That said, I'd say McCain has already made up his mind. He's just not going to distract from the Democrats destroying themselves in Denver. Did I mention Puma?

He looked like he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and stammered out: "N--no, we are having problems with the phone."

The Democrats have embarked on a highly visible effort to make their convention the "greenest" ever, focusing on everything from expanded recycling to more creative programs like encouraging Denver restaurants to offer "lean 'n' green" meals made with healthful, organic, and locally sourced ingredients. But not all of their environmentally friendly initiatives have gone as planned. Take the hotel card keys, for example. Instead of the traditional plastic cards, the Sheraton in downtown handed guests Visa-sponsored swipe cards "made from sustainably-harvested wood." The plan lasted all of a few hours. By Saturday night, enough guests had reported problems getting into their rooms with the wooden cards that the front desk clerks had abandoned them and switched back to the plastic cards. A clerk said they were now handing out one of each and suggested that the wooden one could kept as a souvenir.
I love it when a plan comes together!

Speaking of keys, the idiots wanted to go green, so had hotels create wooden keys (don't ask how that is more green than the plastic keys since wood has to come from trees that are raped from the earth, but I digress). Well, everything changed from Day 1. Oh wait. It didn't. The keys didn't work, and the hotels had to issue the plastic keys anyway. So, they not only had to use wooden keys that didn't work, but had to issue the plastic keys.

Rain washes out 'car free' day in Seattle
"A car passes by every once in a while, just people trying to get home. And they don't know how to get home," said resident Matt O'Connor."I think most people are scratching their heads. I've seen people move the signs and drive through anyway," said Hubbard.
With more police officers diverting traffic than actual people, the city decided to end the event two hours earlier.
O'Connor said the idea was good in theory, "but in practice, it needs a little bit of work."
Adding insult to injury, the cars owned by some residents in the neighborhood were towed because the city wanted to clear the streets.

There is no reason to suppose that they contracted the diseases recently.
An OB/GYN friend of mine has noted that the period between the widespread use of anti-biotics and the AIDS crisis was the heyday of unprotected sex. The folks born just before the baby boom and the earlier boomers were young and frisky during that period, and they are the people logging into retirement communities right now.
My friend maintains that almost all of the newly diagnosed disease in senior women dates back a long while.
Your friend is probably right on the money. Have you noticed the great increase in infertility over the last few decades? Much of the time female infertility is due to untreated gonorrhea (extremely hard to diagnose in women) ---------> fallopian scarring.

It talks about his early days in the Screen Actors Guild and how he had to fight against a large communist contingent in Hollywood. It would seem to me like not much has changed in the world of celebrity. The thing none of them seem to understand is that if they ever got what they seem to want then none of them would have the things that have now, including their right to speak out against their government.

A collapsed economy will bring that chicken home to roost, and a resurgent Soviet Union would just be icing on the cake, as it were. But, hey, we'd implement the Kyoto Protocol, so the world would love us, right?

As I mentioned earlier; purely anecdotal, but I've noticed that liberal acquaintances have been trotting out the "Obama can't win because this racist country won't elect him" line quite a lot in the last couple of weeks. I think they're inoculating themselves.

BHO gets a poll bump coming out of the convention, the bump goes away after the RNCC and their even up to election day. The Ayers, Resko, Alinsky etc... ads take a bite of BHO, BHO and bin Biden have critical gaffes. McCain wins by a larger margin than GWB (but not much).

They're thinking that someone shouldn't profit off of what you genuinely need.
It all ties in to the corresponding opposite belief that those making a profit are tricking people, selling them "junk they don't need."
It is how they can look at someone who forces an unpopular tax through in order to subsidize a local puppet theater that couldn't make it on its own in the free market and call that someone a "public servant" although they are clearly serving a project the public chose against.
Then they look at a man like Sam Walton who made billions and would never think to call him a public servant, although he served up exactly what the public wanted.

re: #281 Occasional Reader
I don't think race has anything to do with it. I think the right black man (or woman) could win this year, but I don't think Obama is the right one. His Messiah act may be good for firing up the moonbat base, but it is somewhere between creepy and repulsive to the rest of America. Again, this has nothing to do with his race. A white man playing the same schtick would get the same results.
Ronald Reagan didn't portray himself as a god incarnate, and he was the last President to really decisively win the Presidency. Obama's overplayed his hand, and now it's just a matter of McCain shoring up his base (what I meant about McCain fucking it up earlier), and being himself. He'll have to fight for it, but I think he got what it takes to win this election.
Obama doesn't. He's too inexperienced (even he agrees on this; why else did he pick Biden if not to shore up his weakness in experience?) to close the sale. With the media four-square in his court, pushing the meme that what we need is change, voters are still going to ask "Change how?"
Obama can't truthfully answer that question and win, and he can't not answer it at all and win. He's hoping to distract from it, but I don't think that'll work. And he's not a good enough liar to lie about it to the American people and convince enough of them to win.

I equate Communists with mass murderers and history proves the equivalence. That public displays of affection for mass murderers may currently be considered "free speech" doesn't inspire pride in my nation's permissiveness. That an unknown sockpuppet is running on a Marxist platform to gain control of the most powerful military on Earth bothers me more than a little.
Your "fighting to defend their right" is stirring rhetoric. I will never share it in this case since I don't see being a Communist a civil right, nor as free speech. Just so you know, I don't see NAMBLA as having free speech rights either. For me there are limits.

Our elected idiots here in Illinois can't help themselves. It appears that retiring Senate President, Emil Jones (who wants to put his son in his seat, it's an Illinois thing), got a little racial during a discussion about Obama and Clinton. Was that Doubting Thomas or Uncle Tom?
Jones: 'Doubting Thomas not Uncle Tom'
Perfectly illustrating the role of "identity politics" in today's Democrat party is this quote from the President of the NOW Illinois Chapter, “Women in Illinois had that pressure, and it was particularly hard for African-American women who were placed in the untenable position of having to chose between their race and between their gender,” Grabenhofer said.

If we don't have a government health service already, it's only because Hillary was such a bitch. Both sides were ready to pass something in 1993. She's delayed it 15 years so far. It will happen, y'know. Look how broken we are today, can't run an ER, because you have to take all comers, and most never pay. Just so you can buy premium coverage as well, we maintain some market forces. Yeah, it will cost more federal money, but (this is a standard donk argument) most of the money is already in the system, just badly spent. And much of the current system sucks, quality-wise, hospital-errors and such.

Cheney visit to Georgia keeps pressure on Russia
CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) — President Bush is dispatching Vice President Dick Cheney to Georgia, the latest burst of political support for an ally reeling from war with Russia.The White House announced Cheney's trip Monday as the administration blasted Russia anew for failing to fully honor a cease-fire deal with Georgia, a former Soviet republic. The administration also chided Russian lawmakers for endorsing independence of Georgia's two breakaway regions, saying its Cold War foe has no authority to make that decision on its own.

That's how I see it shaping up. Remember, all John McCain has to do is win the same States George Bush won, and he's President. It'd be nice if he picked up some Blue States, but some of them he's never going to win. California, for example, and New York.
OTOH, Obama's already written off the entire South. Add the small Western States that Bush won, and Obama has to win about everything else to win. That is a daunting task. I don't think he can do it.
That's more than Hope. Obama should have been the Democrat's Reagan. Things aren't nearly as bad as they were coming out of the Carter Administration, but the Media has made it seem like things were awful. Perception is reality, to a lot of voters, and Obama will win all of those.

"Parlor pink" has a number of interesting associations. "Pink," of course, suggests that one is oh-so-delicately tinged with red; "parlor" adds to the air of faux-gentility.
One should, however, also remember that a "parlor" is a house's public room where people gather to "parler," i.e., to talk. So a "parlor pink" also suggests someone who talks a good game but does not really have the courage of his or her own convictions.

Exclusive: Advance text of Michelle Obama’s speech
Good evening, my fellow Barack Americans!
I am Michelle Obama. (Pause for adulation. Frown at insufficient applause. Wait for more.)
I am just an ordinary working mom from an ordinary town. A “civilian” innocent in the ways of politics. Just like you.
(Well, except for my hard Left thesis-writing skills. And my hard-core Chicago family political ties. And my high-powered, $317,000-a-year affirmative action job. And my role in organizing the Woods Fund panel that Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers and Barack appeared on together.)
Some have referred to me as Obama’s “bitter half.”
But, really, truly, I am so grateful to be here tonight.
(Well, except for all the burdensome sacrifices I have been forced to make throughout this campaign in pursuit of the White House and my victimization at the hands of those wife-beating racist Republicans.)

As someone with close to 20 years now in medicine, I can say without any reservation whatsoever, cede more control of the health care system to government, and overall access will diminish.

It will be a disaster. The general public has NO idea what the average person in a Doctor's office spends their day doing just to get a patient treated trying to run through the red tape.

Plus I can’t log on at the main page, that checking credentials thingy hourglasses too. I have to go to the bottom of the comment thread to log on then everything works fine. I’m using IE.

We lost a fairly decent local supermarket chain up here in the Twin Cities because the grocery worker's union got greedy and went on strike.
For every dollar of revenue a grocery store generates, a couple pennies fall to the bottom line (if they're a successful grocery store). Those fucking idiots put themselves out of jobs. I guess they didn't learn from their UAW brothers' mistakes.

Excellent points. Despite the gloss by the MSM, the spin placed on it by the left leaning politicians that seek to expand government control and management of people's daily lives everywhere socialized / nationalized health care has been implemented has resulted in a far more limited and restricted system than available in the free market.
Health care is no different from any other economic market - or even societal condition. Markets and society thrive with limited regulation and controls based around the simple principles of freedom and liberty. Markets and societies that are heavily regulated, without basic freedoms and liberties, and lacking the flexibility that freedom and liberty provide are stagnant failures.

This is a little old but I'll post it anyway:
The Green Left Weekly whines about "The Nightmare of Food."
Who suffers most? “Poverty. Class. Income. Over and over, these emerge as the key determinants of obesity and weight-related disease,” Critser says. He is no socialist though, and Marx doesn’t get so much as a mention in the book (Critser actually has a swipe at what he calls the “self-proclaimed ‘progressive left’”). His final chapter, on combating the epidemic, is the weakest in the book, and doesn’t go far beyond advocating better education and stronger parental control over diet and exercise. Still, despite its limitations, Critser’s book could very usefully be read by all socialists and all parents: he does us a great service in painting a vivid picture of the lurid world of McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Coca Cola, and their partners in corporate crimes against human well-being.
If someone, in the time before the birth of Karl Marx, stood up on an old crate at a street corner in London, Paris, or Berlin, and tried to describe a world where food was plentiful and affordable to the working classes as "a nightmare" or in any other was as evil, he would dragged away to an insane asylum if he was lucky.
The Left, whenever it has gained unrestrained power as in Soviet Russia, Red China, North Korea, and Rouge Kampuchea, has enforced poverty and starvation and in some cases has seized or destroyed local food supplies as a means of killing off resisting populations.
Lefties...feh!
