It is certain that a book is not harmless merely because no one is consciously offended by it.

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother
was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off
the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy,
will you sleep with me tonight?" The mother smiled and gave
him a reassuring hug. "I can't dear," she said. "I have to sleep
in Daddy's room."
A long silence was broken at last by a shaken little voice
saying, "The big sissy."

I see Ted Kennedy received a Profile in Courage award for his 77th birthday - no word on whether it was for drowning an innocent girl, the subsequent coverup, or just a lifetime of liver abuse.
Remarkably, President Obama was able to clear his schedule, rub the sleep out of his eyes and attend. No word on whether he presented Ted with the special edition of "The Wizard of Oz," with the uncut version of the scarecrow's song.

The site is effectively a communist organization. Oddly enough it contains criticism of Labour and Brown and also includes an article about the Communications Workers Union (CWU) in the UK.

A husband wrote the following letter for his wife and left it on the dining
room table:
'To My Dear Wife,
You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 54
years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you, and I value you
as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter I hope you will not
wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my
18-year-old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel. Please don't be upset - I
shall be back home before midnight.'
When the man came home late that night he found the following letter on the dining room table:
WIFE`S LETTER
'To My Dear Husband,
I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my being 54
years old. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are
also 54 years old. As you know, I am a math teacher at our local college. I
would like to inform you that while you're at the Comfort Inn, I will be at
the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students, who is also the assistant
tennis coach. He is young, virile, and like your secretary, he is 18 years
old.
As a successful businessman with an excellent knowledge of math, you will
understand that we are in the same situation, although with one small
difference; 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18.
Therefore I will not be home until sometime tomorrow.'

Sherlock Holmes and Watson were out camping. Holmes awakens Watson and says," Watson, what do you see?"
Watson replies, "I see stars, Sir".
"And what can you deduce from that", asks Sherlock.
Watson says, "Well, the stars might be suns like our own".
Sherlock, "and..?
Mr. Watson says, " If they are suns like our own, perhaps they have planets like Earth orbiting them."
"And what else, Mr Watson?"
Mr. Watson says, "If there are planets like our own, perhaps there is life on them just like Earth."
Holmes asks, " And what can you infer from that?"
Mr. Watson replies," Perhaps there is intelligent life on those planets."
Holmes asks, " anything else?"
Mr. Watson, "No".
Sherlock Holmes says, " You Idiot! someone has stolen our tent!"

"We will retaliate (over) any act of intercepting our satellite for peaceful purposes with prompt counterstrikes by the most powerful military means,"
If countries such as the United States, Japan or South Korea try to intercept the launch, the North Korean military will carry out "a just retaliatory strike operation not only against all the interceptor means involved but against the strongholds" of the countries, it said.

_____ Obozo My Bozo! _____
our fearful economy is done!
Recall: The DNC Keynote 2004
"I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me,"
Except for shareholders, capitalists, taxpayers, the military, etc.
(And those dumb stooge taxpayers who who helped pay the mortgage insurance for you parent's FHA home loan).
Without your magnificence who knows what would happen! There might even be some evil-blob like governmental entity run amok, making taxpayers pay for FHA loans to people who fail to make the first payment!
"Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation, not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy."
Indeed, why pay any attention to the little things, like industry, military protection, and the economy?
"Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago,"
We know you get a tingle for declarations, even without your training-wheel tele-prompter.
In America however, actions speak loader than words.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
If you really believe so, why don't you tax them equally?
Put up, or shut up -- as the real world declaration goes.
"That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights."
The right to pay for your neighbor's mortgage -- all of you neighbors, not just one!
"That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Which are to be funded by: The politically un-connected middle & upper class -- comprised of taxpayers too stupid to be able to buy a "Swiss Financial Insurance Policy", such as from, but not strictly limited to, UBS.
"That is the true genius of America, a faith in a simple dream, an insistence on small miracles. That we can tuck in our children at night and know they are fed and clothed and safe from harm."
Fed, clothed, and made safe by what and whom?
Is Barney Frank your cuddly "small miracle"? The Fannie Mae-flower of your tired huddled illegal alien masses -- pining for the supple shores and fertile fields of the virgin taxpayer wallets?

(part 2)
"Now let me be clear. We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated"
Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, The American taxpayer-citizen.
"That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door."
You are right! The Fairness Doctrine doesn't knock, it oozes through the door while the door is still closed.
"That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe or hiring somebody’s son."
Union Labor. Card Check. The Chicago Political machine. Blago. Burris.
Never heard of them, right?
"Go into the collar counties around Chicago, and people will tell you they don’t want their tax money wasted by a welfare agency or the Pentagon."
If you want to abolish welfare, we won't stop you!
However, if you mean the middle class doesn't want the middle class to have its money wasted on welfare, that's OK too, the upper class will pay for it indefinitely, right? (It's not like they'll put the money in Swiss bank accounts or anything).
"Go into any inner city neighborhood, and folks will tell you that government alone can’t teach kids to learn."
So your simulus plan calls for the upgrade of school facilities instead, because of (a) random chance, (b) the vast right wing conspiracy, or (c) the Turbo-Tax Gnomes of Zurich?
"They know that parents have to parent, that children can’t achieve unless' we raise their expectations and turn off the television sets and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white."
Oh, how prominently this must have been mentioned in your stimulus bill!
Certainly you can show us in your stimulus bill where this is mentioned, so we don't accidentally interpret your god-words to mean that we only need to dump more money on school facilities and administrative upgrades.
"Out of many, one. Yet even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes."
Certainly, that would never include heads of state that single out their own citizens for one on one attack?
"There’s not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America. The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States"
How is Ol' Ram-U-Manual doing sending people personalized kiss-my fish-o-grams from the Oval office?
Perhaps he's too busy writing the acceptance speech for the "most positive ad-peddler" of the year, right?
"In the end, that’s what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or a politics of hope?"
We only know one idiot who proposes and plans to give nearly a billions dollars of American taxpayer money (material aid and comfort) to a known terrorist organization in the Middle East.
"The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us"
What do you know of God?

Red C and Blue. You got me thinking all about the military stories I heard in my childhood. I grew up next door to Lt. Col. Olin L Beall, an old retired Marine who served in Haiti, WWI, WWII and Korea. We never asked a lot of questions, just listened to his war stories he would tell when he took all of us neighborhood kids camping. I was enthralled. He died in his seventies. About five years ago I was priviledged, along with his two kids to go to a reunion of the Baker Company, First Motor Transport from the Korean War. They told us things that I will never forget, in fact, their wives told us they had never talked about the war as much as they did that night. They are sometimes called the "Ice Marines" from the frozen Chosin

In the field of Psychiatry, Munchausen by Proxy is a disease of a child's custodian, usually a mother, who induces sickness, real or imagined in her child (sometimes resulting in death) in order to gain sympathy and to portray herself as the heroine. The child accepts his/her abuse as "normal" in exchange for a perception of safety provided by the caretaker. The adolescent child has no other choice.

Bush was the one who shoveled money into drug plans and banks. I'm seeing this linked all over the place but I'm not sure what the significance of this story is.

I don't know about that. I think there are some seriously screwed up people that don't have a choice what offends them. It just does. Like homosexuality. I agree it's a choice people make who(or what) they sleep with, but does someone "choose" to be grossed out at the idea of sleeping with someone of the opposite sex? I think sometimes we are influenced by our genetic coding and, more often, by our experiences(environment) on how we feel or react to things. No one has ultimate control over their emotions.

I have no problem with bigots opening their mouths and allowing all who would see to know exactly who they are. The same free speech that allows them to do so also allows me the ability to denounce them, their statements and bigotry. There isn't a "right not to be offend"- this is true. There are, however, consequences when a person is offensive- at least in this country. One reaps what they sow.

Christopher Columbus was actually a Scotsman called Pedro Scotto, historian says
Alfonso Ensenat de Villalonga has disputed conventionally-accepted narratives on the explorer's origins - that he was the son of a weaver in Genoa, Italy, or that he was from Catalonia or Galicia in Spain.
In fact, he was from Genoa, but he was "the son of shopkeepers not weavers and he was baptised Pedro not Christopher," Mr Villalonga told Spain's ABC newspaper on Sunday.
And his family name was Scotto, and was not Italian but of Scottish origin.
"He had light-coloured eyes and freckles. He also had blond hair even though it quickly turned white. That's how his contemporaries described him. Nothing like the traditional images (of him), which are totally invented," the historian said.

re: #168 Sharmuta
I have no problem with bigots opening their mouths and allowing all who would see to know exactly who they are. The same free speech that allows them to do so also allows me the ability to denounce them, their statements and bigotry. There isn't a "right not to be offend"- this is true. There are, however, consequences when a person is offensive- at least in this country. One reaps what they sow.
Exactly.
Yet increasingly, there are countries (e.g., Canada, UK, Denmark) where this principle seems to be in danger of failing.

it is a matterof judgement

Right- and no one was critical of any group of people except red and I who were being critical of bigots of various flavors. But we were doing so with thought, so we're not being bigoted against bigots.

I bought GE at 15 bucks because it was a steal. Bought again at 9 bucks because it was an even better steal. Now half of me desperately wants to get in on this basement deal at 7 and the other half wants to unload before it goes to zero. So I compromise and do nothing. It's always easier anyway.

Good morning.
Well, we are now at the point that the Obama administration is on the verge of mismanaging the recession into a full blown depression.
The credit markets are seizing up again in reaction to the gross incompetance of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. We are close to 4 weeks since Geithner puked on his shoes and ran out of the room, promising more details on his banking plan later. Well, there have been no further details, just a couple public comments by Geithner where he trashed the coal and banking industries, said taxes should be increased and complained that he can't get anybody to come work for him. This performance has convinced the bond market that he is out of his depth, will totally screw the pooch and so the corporate bond holders are scared that they will lose their investments. The TED spread has jumped in the past week.
Get ready for another large sell off in the market this week.

Administration Backers Plead for Patience on Economic Recovery Efforts
Concern is growing that the Obama administration's prescriptions for the ailing economy aren't working because the stock market still continues to collapse, unemployment rates are up and no signs of a turnaround can be seen yet, but the president's supporters say patience will pay off.
"I wouldn't measure the stock market over the day to day as to how well we're doing. I think that you're going to have to give the president's plans, which are just taking effect this week, some time to work," Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday.
"It does take some time before things -- before people realize that the substance is actually getting better. My guess is that'll start later this year or the first part of next year, and we're moving aggressively to make sure that it does," said Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind

If the "mark to market" valuation model was dropped in favor of discounted cash flows, these banks would suddenly have double the capital on their books, there would then be a market for the mortgages and the credit would start moving, and the banking industry would become very stable again.
And the FDIC was having problems covering all the defaults, but that could have been taken care of quietly behind the scenes. Problem is, the FDIC head Blair said so publicly, thus causing an electronic run on the banks last week that badly damaged some of them.

Behind the Brain Chemistry of Why it is so Difficult to Quit Smoking
Often, the depth of a person's addiction to nicotine can depend on their internal chemistry, says Jerry Stitzel, PhD, of the University of Colorado, who designed a study to evaluate the effects of nicotine over the course of a day.
Article describes various experiments and what they revealed about brain chemistry and smoking.

In all my life, and I've been around now for quite some time--having lived through more than half a dozen presidents as an adult--I've never once heard or read of anyone complaining they had to get out of the White House because of the pressure (and go to an elementary school for relief), or is overwhelmed by the workload and is "too tired."

But the narcissist can imagine it when it suits his desire to manipulate the other person. Hence the focus on hope and change and Santa Claus promises. It borders on the sociopathic - people who can easily read people, but are not motivated by love, but rather power. They are too lazy to put themselves out most of the time, but when see a "mark" then they are highly motivated.

Scouse Vasectomy
After having their 11th child, a Liverpool couple decided that was enough,
as the social wouldn't buy them a bigger bed and they weren't strong enough
to nick one.
The husband went to his doctor and told him that he and his wife didn't want
to have any more children.
The doctor told him there was a procedure called a vasectomy that would fix
the problem but it was expensive. A less costly alternative was to go home,
get a firework, light it, put it in a beer can, then hold the can up to his
ear and count to 10.
The Scouser said to the doctor, 'I may not be the smartest guy in the world,
but I don't see how putting a firework in a beer can next to my ear is going
to help me.'
'Trust me, it will do the job', said the doctor.
So the man went home, lit a banger and put it in a beer can. He held the can
up to his ear and began to count: '1, 2, 3, 4, 5,' at which point he
paused, placed the beer can between his legs so he could continue counting
on his other hand.
This procedure also works in Leatherhead, parts of Bradford and anywhere
in Wales .

Precisely! He does it not out of a desire to please for the sake of the other's pleasure per se but, out of a desire to rule.

NO it makes perfect sense when you understand that the chemicals have altered your brain to create more craving receptors, so the withdrawl is exceptionally hard for some people. The manufacturers added extra nicotine for that exact outcome.

Protecting your kids doesn't just mean making sure they don't run with scissors.
US Public Schools Teaching Children Pro-Islamic Propaganda
*snippets
Christianity was started by a young Palestinian named Jesus and the 9/11 murderers were not Islamic Fundamentalists but simply a generic "teams of terrorists." That's the caliber of politically corrected crap many of our children are being taught in American public schools -- and it's past time all parents took serious notice.
It calls the Ten Commandments "moral laws Moses claimed to have received from the Hebrew God," while the entry for the Koran contains no such qualifier in saying it is the "Holy Book of Islam containing revelations received by Muhammad from God."
"On the morning of September 11, 2001, teams of terrorists hijacked four airplanes on the East Coast. Passengers challenged the hijackers on one flight, which they crashed on the way to its target. But one plane plunged in to the Pentagon in Virginia, and two others slammed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York. More than 2,500 people were killed in the attacks."
"Jihad is defined as a struggle within each individual to overcome difficulties and strive to please god. Sometimes it may be a physical struggle for protection against enemies," the book reads, noting that Islam teaches "that Muslims should fulfill jihad with the heart, tongue and hand. Muslims use the heart in their struggle to resist evil."
Discuss what they're being taught, and be prepared to teach them the truth. Teach them about Jesus, or Israel, or both. Once they're old enough to understand, teach them about 9/11. Teach them about Sharia and jihad and oppressed women and terrorism and honor killings and barbaric execution methods. Teach them that only just and nurturing cultures deserve to be celebrated, not diversity itself.
What are your kids being taught?

The nicotine increases the number of craving receptors so especially after all the nicotine has left your system all those old receptors AND the newer ones all go crazy. Even after 72 hours. It's like the nicotine turns your brain into a frankenstein brain that turns against you. It takes a much longer time to restore a more normal chemistry with the right number of craving receptors. I saw a graphic presentation on this once.

Zyban made my heart race at a scary pace, and I have an allergy to the patches, which I wore for awhile with great success - until the allergy kicked in big-time and I had huge red welts all over.
That happened to a friend of mine only it was caused by guys touching her with ten-foot poles.

Some snippets from an American Thinker article that posted on Saturday. Sorry if this was already discussed over the weekend.
"The morning conference call and Democrat media manipulation"
"Every morning, a group of old friends have a nice chat. ABC's George Stephanopoulos, CNN's James Carville, CNN commentator Paul Begala, and Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel have a wide ranging conference call, usually starting just before dawn. Democrat Pollster Stan Greenberg is a frequent participant. They examine current events and how they fit into the new administrations policies. They determine how to best get their message to the public."
"When they next appear on various programs as interviewers or interviewees, their comments do not conflict with each other. They have coordinated the broad themes and the topics, and after that early morning phone call they coordinate with their personal networks and associates, influencing and coaxing the comment and reportage on specific issues nationwide."
"From an information consumer's standpoint it is disturbing that several main networks are so tuned into White House message shaping. How can the citizen expect accurate analysis and reportage when the "journalists" that present it are so tied into the party in power?"

reported that last weekend Michelle Obama needed to relieve the stress of the White House.
She went back to Chicago to have lunch with her BFF's. Barry insisted that she take The Airforce One, not some lesser jet.
So see, how could she have tea with Britains First Lady?
THE STRESS?
I have no issue with her using Air Force 1, she is the First Lady after all.... but she thinks she is stressed?

Hey Bro' - how are you doing today? Well, I hope.
The problem is everyone - well, ok, not everyone but a lot of people are talking about who's leading (or not leading, as the case may be) the GOP - the reality is I'd rather have NO ONE leading the GOP RIGHT NOW than have either Obama, Pelosi or Reid leading the party.
Seriously, we can wait a few months to develop new(er) national leadership for the GOP and just let the Democrats continually machine gun their own feet for a while!
BTW - if you saw that Day By Day cartoon I posted upthread at #526 and wonder who the cartoonist sees as the next "Joe The Plumber" put your money on that 14 year old kid - he's smart, and unafraid (so far) to enunciate pretty straightforward Conservative principles and was on Fox and Friends this morning, frying Obama's ass real well!

Not to harp on this, but it's really difficult for any Republican to get out past the MSM filters and get a message through to the American People. This next "American Revolution" will very likely be a ground up one, not with some politician heading the charge.
Indeed the 14 year old boy, who's name now escapes me but I've mentioned to Iron Fist and others said that "Rush isn't the head of the GOP, Michael Steele is and HE knows that; once other Republicans accept that fact, things will get HOT for President Obama."

All the things that could really improve their lives for generations. Such a waste.....and I guess the truth is, he doesn't believe in those things or he would. I know why he didn't do it before the election, but the path he is on, he has shown his true feelings on the plight of the lower class and of the AA community.

Every new administration--and president--goes through an adjustment process, but this is ridiculous. Mr. Geraghty notes that President Obama is "overwhelmed" by the demands of his new office...
...Equally disconcerting, the Telegraph goes on to say that the commander-in-chief has failed to "even fake an interest in foreign policy." That assessment came from a Washington "insider" with close ties to the administration.
As President Obama is about to discover, his sabbatical from international issues will soon come to an abrupt end, with potentially disastrous consequences.

Of course not. They believe they are elected to rule over others. Silly people who think they can just vote for them and hold them accountable!
Best lesson I ever got in my government class was that while we did elect senators and representatives, we often did not know what was contained in various bills (this was before the Internet era, obviously) and therefore we were told: do not be surprised if elected officials do not vote the way you want, because you may not know everything that's going on with a bill.

I posted that upthread (#469). No one seemed to care. Hopefully this will get people talking about it. We all seriously need to be aware of what our kids are being taught.
Unfortunately, many of those who care about this kind of stuff have their kids in private schools, not public schools, and the time they have to devote to school issues is used on the schools their kids attend instead of public schools.

Of course not. They believe they are elected to rule over others. Silly people who think they can just vote for them and hold them accountable!
Best lesson I ever got in my government class was that while we did elect senators and representatives, we often did not know what was contained in various bills (this was before the Internet era, obviously) and therefore we were told: do not be surprised if elected officials do not vote the way you want, because you may not know everything that's going on with a bill.
Alas, he should have also taught us about earmarks. That would have explained a lot.
Even worse, Obama is normalizing deception. Our of one side of his mouth he demands accountability and an end to earmarks, all while he majestically signs his name to endless new entitlements, pay-to-play paybacks, & bottomless pork and ear-mark spending bills.

Okay, now I have to get some work done. Rats! Later, gators.

Just as with curricular green globaloney, your best defense against scholastic Dhimmitude begins at home.
Discuss what they're being taught, and be prepared to teach them the truth. Teach them about Jesus, or Israel, or both. Once they're old enough to understand, teach them about 9/11. Teach them about Sharia and jihad and oppressed women and terrorism and honor killings and barbaric execution methods. Teach them that only just and nurturing cultures deserve to be celebrated, not diversity itself.
But above all, teach them how to recognize propaganda and to think for themselves.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. These are truly taxing times for all Americans. At the national level, the Administration is pushing cap and trade, which will wipe out the Obama tax "cuts" and "rebates" and destroys the notion that 95% of Americans would not see tax hikes. Obama's promises are so much BS. It would raise taxes and costs int he teeth of a recession, deepening the effects of the recession and making things far worse than if he did nothing.
And it would adversely affect those in the lowest income tax brackets hardest - since they would be using a larger percentage of their income to cover the increases than other tax brackets.
Meanwhile, at the state level, it's a mess all around. In NJ, the mess is such that they're pondering cuts - cutting property tax rebates and actually considering cutting the state workforce (whether that happens remains to be seen since the political class is beholden to the unions despite the fact that the state's fiscal situation is due in large part to pandering to those same unions).

I just think we should get the word out. I for one will be forwarding that information to my local representative. At least SOMEONE is taking notice.
I have sent several emails to my representative in regards to domestic oil production, being the good little dem she is I get the standard dem response, drilling is not the answer, we must invest in solar and other green energy technology. Along with the gratuitous President Bush left us with a huge deficit. When I called her on it and said all the people in Washington were responsible for the out of control spending, she stopped emailing me back.

It must just be me, but I'm not overly worked up about the fact that BHO didn't go over the moon to help a unpopular Prime Minister score some political points. Before the visit, the British press was moaning about the visit being a transparent ploy to gain some political capital, now bitching about a crappy gift.
Had BHO rolled out the red carpet and handed Brown a F 22 Raptor, the Britts would bitch about him trying to swing the election to Brown. Yep, it was a crappy gift , but it won't make a difference in our relationship in the long term.
Come on Avanti, If BHO & Michelle were treated so poorly on a visit to a foreign leader, the media here would go nuts & the Kool Aid drinkers would be bat shit.
Are you really saying that because Brown is not a popular leader in the UK that this rudeness is somehow ok?

Obama Administration throws Lebanon and Israel under the bus re: Syria and it's support for terrorism:
( Question from Reporter)- The second question is, without asking you to delve into any of the details of your conversations today: first, if you could give us a sense of your itinerary going forward; and secondly, we must bear in mind that these are discussions you’re having with representatives of a country that is still on the State Department’s list of nations that sponsor terrorism, and I wonder if you could, again, without delving into the areas that you specifically discussed, give us a sense of how actively you believe the Syrian Government is still engaged in terrorist activities in and out of the region. Thank you....
....AMBASSADOR FELTMAN:
....In terms of Syria, FTO, et cetera, as I said, we’ve got concerns with Syria, I’m sure Syria has concerns with us. Today was an opportunity to start to raise some of these concerns with each other directly, in addition to the dialogue that takes place already between our embassies and officials in capitals. You know, the reason why Syria is on that list is because Syria is playing host to some organizations like Hamas, you know, and we believe that Syria is supporting groups like Hezbollah. I think everyone knows why Syria is on that list.
But you know, my job today was not finger pointing per se....
[Link: www.state.gov...]
In other words, the US no longer gives a shit about Syria's support of Hamas and Syria's role in undermining Lebanese territorial integrity and it's support of Hezbollah.

Another point of controversy last week was Thursday's meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft -- former national security advisers for Presidents Carter and George H.W. Bush, respectively -- were the sole witnesses for the "U.S. Strategy Regarding Iran" hearing. "When Brzezinski used his short opening statement to say Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should be cautious about listening to Israel's ideas, the red flag really went up," one Jewish leader told the Jerusalem Post afterward.

re: #910 avanti
OK, what is the point ? I get that BHO made a protocol mistake last week. I just don't think it will have a lasting effect on our relationship with the Britts. It reminds me of the Mission Accomplished banner dust up. I'm sure GW did not come up with the idea, nor was it meant to mean what the left spun it to mean, yet he got the blame. I don't think BHO planned to give the British a snub, his acting protocol director screwed up, and the buck stops with him, but like the banner, it not as big a deal as its been made out to be.
He'll visit Great Britain next month, and do his rock star thing and all will be forgiven.
I will talk slowly to make the point...

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
* Alternative: "We sleep safely at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us."
* In his 1945 "Notes on Nationalism", Orwell claimed that the statement, "Those who ‘abjure’ violence can only do so because others are committing violence on their behalf" was a "grossly obvious" fact. "Notes on Nationalism"
* Notes: allegedly said by George Orwell although there is no evidence that Orwell ever wrote or uttered either of these versions of this idea. They do bear some similarity to comments made in an essay that Orwell wrote on Rudyard Kipling, when quoting from one of his poems. Orwell did write, in his essay on Kipling, that the latter's "grasp of function, of who protects whom, is very sound. He sees clearly that men can only be highly civilized while other men, inevitably less civilized, are there to guard and feed them." (1942)
o "Yes, making mock o' uniforms that guard you while you sleep" - Rudyard Kipling (Tommy)
o "I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it." - Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men)
* Alternative: "We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." - Winston Churchill (miscellaneous quotation, no date)

Didn't get any time to check in to LGF over the weekend, so I've been reviewing the posts this morning. And what do I see? Our annointed leader is "too tired" to perform his job! This man is unfit to lead and unqualified to be anywhere near this office.
Is everyone sleeping better knowing that our enemies are watching with jaws dropped on the floor just as we are - only in their case, they can't believe their good fortune?
Good grief!

Morning yma, " In this respect, the best service we can do for ourselves and for the country is to win, and I believe we can do it. " Ha, there's the spirit!
True.
It still begs the question why the Tennis association (or whatever the name of the body is) hasn't launched massive protests - and why the Swedes haven't done anything at all, except provide police.
Where are all the Swedes who love humanity?

One of the most odious NY Times articles I've ever read (and they give themselves fierce competition):
[Link: www.nytimes.com...]
I can't even tell if it's self-parody. Who honestly thinks this:
Speaking of violence, it’s worth recalling what Israel did in Gaza in response to sporadic Hamas rockets. It killed upward of 1,300 people, many of them women and children; caused damage estimated at $1.9 billion; and destroyed thousands of Gaza homes. It continues a radicalizing blockade on 1.5 million people squeezed into a narrow strip of land.
At this vast human, material and moral price, Israel achieved almost nothing beyond damage to its image throughout the world. Israel has the right to hit back when attacked, but any response should be proportional and governed by sober political calculation. The Gaza war was a travesty; I have never previously felt so shamed by Israel’s actions.

Chas Freeman's son uses the language of coded antisemitism:
"His appointment is being challenged these days by a small cabal of folks that believe first and foremost in the importance of allegiance to Israel as a core U.S. priority.
Putting aside my natural instinct as a son to want to punch some of these guys in the face for some of the things they are saying about my father, for heaven's sake, I'm more deeply angry about the lack of guile some of these people have.
Steve Rosen (what do you say about someone on indictment for espionage calling someone else un-American (ANSWER: chutzpah!), Jon Chait (who has scaled new lows); someone who used to be someone in Soviet studies named Gabriel Schoenfeld; the unpleasant Marty Peretz; and the usual lurid commentators from the comic book approach to international affairs (the nasty, narrow, dogmatic children from NRO and their ilk (although I'm glad you changed your mind about marching for Pride in Jerusalem, Jamie). Goodness! I do think it's perfectly acceptable to be more loyal to Israel, even as an American citizen. But I also think that should disqualify you from any serious discussion about American interests in the Middle East. ...
...Wish that could be said about his detractors. They are low-lives. And if you're among them and by chance read this: I still want to punch you in the face. You'd deserve it, you schmucks. "

Peter Orszag does not understand what constitutes the fundamental economy. The bedrock is the brains, labor and sweat of the workforce. That has not changed. What has changed is the confidence of those who can invest and drive the economy forward. They don't have confidence that government will allow a return on their investment.

A manager at Wal-Mart had the
task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After
sorting through a stack of resumes he found four people
who were equally qualified. He decided to call the four in
and ask them only one question. Their answer would
determine which of them would get the job.
The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table, the interviewer asked, 'What is the fastest thing you know of?'
The first man replied, 'A THOUGHT.' It just
pops into your head. There's no warning.
'That's very good!' replied the interviewer. 'And, now you sir?', he asked the second man.
'Hmmm....let me see 'A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of.'
'Excellent!' said the interviewer. 'The blink of
an eye, that's a very popular cliche for speed.' He then
turned to the third man, who was contemplating his
reply.
'Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that
switch, way out across the pasture the light on the barn
comes on in less than an instant. 'Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of'.
The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had found his man. 'It 's hard to beat the speed of light,' he said.
Turning to BUBBA, the fourth and final man,
the interviewer posed the same question.
Old Bubba replied, 'After hearing the previous three answers, it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.'
'WHAT!?' said the interviewer, stunned
by the response.
'Oh sure', said BUBBA. 'You see,
the other day I wasn't feeling so good, and I ran for the
bathroom, but before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already pooped my pants.'
BUBBA is now the new greeter at a Wal-Mart near you!
You probably will think of this every time you enter a

The ugly secret is that those of us who pay taxes, pretty much regardless of income level, are facing massive tax increases in order to partially fund his unprecedented expansion of the federal government. As has been proved in all other socialistic states, rather than rise those in poverty to the level of the 'rich', the end effect would be to lower the upper and middle classes establishing a new 'common denominator' of wealth which would be lower than today's present median income level. Furthermore, we would be locked into a central bureaucracy for virtually everything. 10% unemployment rates, 20-25% of those employed being government employees will become the norm....and innovation will be regulated out of existence.

It was effectively a ban since it was limited to existing lines, not enough good ones to do the research.

I never understood the pro life position that the embryo's should be discarded rather then be used to possibly save or improve lives.
Waste not want not!
For your edification: the pro-life position is that human embryos should not be used in this manner at all. It's all part of that "life is sacred" concept liberals & leftists have a hard time comprehending.

OK, and you bring up a good point. We do have moral imits on what we'll do, and that is a good thing. I expect other countries will do some outrageous human cloning in the near future.

It was effectively a ban since it was limited to existing lines, not enough good ones to do the research. We trail the world in the stem cell science because of the religious opposition to the research. I never understood the pro life position that the embryo's should be discarded rather then be used to possibly save or improve lives.
What a canard. There were plenty of federally funded lines for companies to use for research - the primary reason they were not used is that results from adult stem cells and umbilical stem cells research generated far better results. Furthermore, there was nothing preventing researchers from using non-Federal dollars or embryonic stem cell lines for their research. The focus on investing into R&D is in the path that will generate the best results sooner rather than later.
This kerfuffle is just another case of a socio-political agenda that is attempted to be implemented masked around a perceived benefit.

Nonsense. We do not trail the world on stem cell research because it isn't confined to embryonic stem cells, but adult stem cell research is open to anyone with a checkbook. Heck, embryonic stem cell research can go on in the US regardless of federal funding - if you want to pony up the $$$ yourself to carry out that research. The limitations were only on federal funding - the private sector was free to carry out the research so long as they adhered to the federal requirements if they wanted federal funding.

We do not trail the world on stem cell research it is open to anyone with a enough money to fund such research!
And I'll quote lawhawk: ". . . , The limitations were only on federal funding - the private sector was free to carry out the research so long as they adhered to the federal requirements if they wanted federal funding."

I get the concept, but week old embryo's are at best, potential life, if and when they are implanted. If you believe that invetro fertilization is immoral, and no embryo's should be produced in the lab, then I might see your position, but if they are, and are being discarded, I don't follow the logic.
If life is sacred, why is using a scheduled to be destroyed embryo to potentially save a human life wrong. Why is it more pro life to trash them ?

The religiously inspired extreme pro life stance of many on the right is the litmus test that will only further marginalize the party IMHO. The Terri Schiavo, and embryonic stem cell issues are example of positions out of the main stream. You see black and white, I see shades of gray.

You are confusing the legal definition of a "person" with the biological definition of life. Any fertilized embryo, no matter how old, is alive. So are the original sperm & egg alive.
The courts decided that unborn babies don't have rights because they are not "legal persons". That's a legal definition, not a biological one. The courts did not decide an unborn foetus is are not alive. The courts ruled that only legal persons have rights under the constitution and that unborn humans are not legal persons.
So back it up: at what point did the unborn foetus become alive? Go ahead and think about it, it's not above your pay grade, Avanti.
Biologically speaking, the embryo is alive from the very moment of conception. The cells grow, divide, consume food and produce waste products., the DNA & RNA replicate. That issue is deliberately blurred by pro-abortion activists who do not want people to clearly understand the full moral issue. No matter what way you slice it, abortion is killing a live embryo or foetus. Life is life, even if somebody else decided they don't want it around.
So the situation we have hear is one in which the courts have decided one human life form is not worthy of life and should be sacrificed for "the greater good". You can't see the slippery moral slope there?
To use our Chinese example, the organs of executed criminals are removed for use in research or transplants. The courts decided the criminals neither needed the organs, nor did they have any right to decide what they're bodies should be used for. All they know is, the gov't decided they have no right to life. Of course, in China, the gov't can decide anybody has no legal rights, or is not a "legal person".
I hope you understand now the difference between the biological fact of "life" and the legal concept of "person" and will never confuse the two again.
