Well, isn’t this lovely: Some Guantanamo prisoners could be released in U.S.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Some of the Guantanamo Bay prisoners could be released into the United States while others could be put on trial in the American court system, Attorney General Eric Holder said on Wednesday.

They are Uighurs from the far western provinces of China. According to "human rights" experts, they will be persecuted if they are sent back to China.
So yeah, let them loose in the U.S. where they can work as enforcers for Chinese gangsters and Tong lords. Jobs that Americans won't do.

He said the administration was looking at the possibility of putting some of the Guantanamo prisoners on trial in U.S. courts. "My guess is that some of those people would be tried in" the U.S. court system, he said.

The Canadian system of government is so different from the US that the personal feelings or beliefs of the minister are of little consequence. It's the Prime Minister and the caucus that make the rules, and in the minority parliament that we have, even that is regulated by the opposition in the House.
Everyone in cabinet is an MP, including the Prime Minister and all are subject to our famed national blood-letting sport, "Question Period" where any and all topics may be attempted.
What he tried to say, as I read it, was that it didn't matter what his personal beliefs are, it's the policy of the government that matters. And he's right.
Besides, our ministers answer to a higher authority already, HRH Queen Elizabeth!

re: #4 eclectic infidel
If your family is like my family, they'll welcome the arrival of the poor mistreated Gitmo detainees into America's communities, purchase their bestselling books about their horrible Gitmo experiences, and write to their alma maters suggesting that the detainees be brought on as faculty members. They'll hold bake sales to raise money for the poor detainees' relocation fees, the lawyers among them will volunteer to sue the U.S. government for tens of millions of dollars on their behalf, on a purely pro bono basis.
However, if a former detainee buys a house in their neighborhood, they'll move away immediately.

Let's assume for a second that the Obama administration somehow correctly figures out with 100% accuracy which prisoners are genuine scum and which prisoners were just scapegoats in the wrong place at the wrong time (there were a lot of rumors of 'allied' Afghan soldiers pointing fingers at their local enemies during our invasion after 9/11).
I *still* don't want the scapegoats here! Not because they're "evil terrists" or some other such bull, but simply because:
a) they've been in Gitmo for years and if they were innocent people who didn't hate us before, they sure as hell do now (and if they really were innocent, who could even blame them for hating us after what happened to them?)
b) even if they're genuinely nice people *and* somehow got through Gitmo without forming a deep, abiding hatred for the US - the degree to which they'll be targeted by idiots when they get released all but ensures that they *will* form that hatred. Or get killed.
I understand the compassion that makes people want to give any falsely accused in Gitmo their freedom, but there is no version of their future which ends in the United States and ends happily ever after.

Experiment in Socialism
An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. The class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism."
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided that since they could not make an A, they studied less. The second Test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for anyone else. All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them that socialism would ultimately fail because the harder people try to succeed the greater their reward but when a government takes all the reward away; no one will try or succeed.

I understand the compassion that makes people want to give any falsely accused in Gitmo their freedom, but there is no version of their future which ends in the United States and ends happily ever after.
I agree, and this judge said it the best:
"An undercurrent of petitioners' arguments is that they deserve to be released into this country after all they have endured at hands of the United States," Randolph wrote. "But such sentiments, however high-minded, do not represent a legal basis for upsetting settled law and overriding the prerogatives of the political branches."
He added, "We do not know whether all petitioners or any of them would qualify for entry or admission under the immigration laws. We do know that there is insufficient evidence to classify them as enemy combatants.... But that hardly qualifies petitioners for admission [as legal residents of the US]. Nor does their detention at Guantanamo for many years entitle them to enter the United States."

The 17 members of the Uighur ethic group have been cleared for release but have nonetheless remained at Guantanamo while the United States tries to find a country willing to take them. The U.S. government has said it cannot return them to China because they would face persecution there."We've been trying to come up with places for them," Holder said of the Uighurs.

In the case of the Chinese, they've been offered housing by both Chinese immigrant groups and churches.
" Several groups have volunteered to assist in their resettlement in the US, including the 600-member Uyghur-American Association. Seventeen Uighur-American families living in the Washington, D.C., area have offered to take the former Guantánamo detainees into their own homes to help resettle them.

Dear President Obama,
Thank you for helping my neighbors with their mortgage payments. You know the ones down the street who in the good times purchased their house for no money down, refinanced it several times, then bought SUV's, ATV's, RV’s, a pool, a big screen plasma TV, two Wave Runners, a boat, and a Harley.
I was wondering, since I am paying my mortgage and theirs, could you arrange for me to borrow the Harley now and then?
Signed:
"Concerned in USA"
P. S. They also need help with their credit cards, when do you want me to start making those payments?
P. P. S. I almost forgot - they didn't file their income tax return this year. Should I go ahead and file for them or will you be appointing them to cabinet posts?

re: #17 Last Mohican
If your family is like my family, they'll welcome the arrival of the poor mistreated Gitmo detainees into America's communities, purchase their bestselling books about their horrible Gitmo experiences, and write to their alma maters suggesting that the detainees be brought on as faculty members. They'll hold bake sales to raise money for the poor detainees' relocation fees, the lawyers among them will volunteer to sue the U.S. government for tens of millions of dollars on their behalf, on a purely pro bono basis.
However, if a former detainee buys a house in their neighborhood, they'll move away immediately.
Given my immediate family's strong dislike of anything Bush or Republical related, I could see them buying the books that details horrific abuses sanctoned by Bushitler&Co. I could see them going to talks held at local community events and then telling me all about it afterwards. They are still 110% convinced that Bushitler stole 2 elections.
But yes, your post is very well taken. My family will superficially support the detainees because they represent the aftermath of W's policies. They won't break bread with them though.

The Chinese at least are not terrorists or enemy combats. They were supposed to be released a long time ago, and have been living in fairly nice conditions at GITMO trying to find out where to release them. Here's their story.
Riiight. Now let's see:
The men have been held at the detention camp for nearly seven years despite an apparent lack of evidence of involvement in terrorism. They were sold to the US military by bounty hunters
How terrible! They were sold to the US military by bounty hunters. Utterly innocent!

Even though the Chinese were found to have been wrongly charged and detained I still have a issue. After being locked up by the US for seven years, they might just want to get even if released here. We should be able to twist the arm of a third country to take them, even if it pisses off the Chinese.

For decades, liberals have been releasing criminals back into society. The liberals who make these decisions never bear the consequences of their decision. Somebody else, some other poor innocent sap, pays the price when the criminal decides to do his monstrous deeds. The liberals sit around and pat themselves on the back, and marvel at how compassionate they are, and how much better they are than the evil conservatives who want to actually make the bad guys pay for their crimes. Again and again, they ignore the results of their actions. They congratulate themselves for their intentions.

A lawyer for a whistleblower on the activist group ACORN is prepared to tell a House panel Thursday that the group provided liberal causes with protest-for-hire services and coerced donations from the targets of demonstrations through a mob-style "protection" racket.
ACORN called it the "muscle for the money" program, according to prepared testimony Pittsburgh lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh plans to deliver at a hearing of the House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, civil rights and civil liberties.
A copy of her prepared testimony was obtained by The Washington Times.
The protest shakedowns are among a slew of accusations that Ms. Heidelbaugh intends to make against the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. She also will accuse the nonprofit group of violating tax, campaign-finance and other laws by sharing a list of President Obama's maxed-out campaign donors to solicit more funds for a get-out-the-vote drive.
The accusations, which are based entirely on sworn court testimony...

In the case of the Chinese, they've been offered housing by both Chinese immigrant groups and churches.
" Several groups have volunteered to assist in their resettlement in the US, including the 600-member Uyghur-American Association. Seventeen Uighur-American families living in the Washington, D.C., area have offered to take the former Guantánamo detainees into their own homes to help resettle them.
In addition, a Tallahassee, Fla., faith-based group and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services in Baltimore have pledged to help resettle the men in the US. "
Oh, I'm just so touched. Let me get a Kleenex.

Angry residents of a small central New Hampshire town are demanding that authorities remove a convicted child killer from their community.More than 200 residents of Chichester packed a town selectmen's meeting Tuesday, most of them calling for Raymond Guay's removal during about two hours of emotional testimony. Many parents said their children can't sleep and are afraid to play outside.
"I do not feel safe enough to walk to the mailbox, to allow my children to walk to the mailbox," resident Darlene Phelps said.
This is what happens when a child killer is released into society. How do they think people are going to react to the terrorists next door?

In the case of the Chinese, they've been offered housing by both Chinese immigrant groups and churches.
" Several groups have volunteered to assist in their resettlement in the US, including the 600-member Uyghur-American Association. Seventeen Uighur-American families living in the Washington, D.C., area have offered to take the former Guantánamo detainees into their own homes to help resettle them.
In addition, a Tallahassee, Fla., faith-based group and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services in Baltimore have pledged to help resettle the men in the US. "
I wonder how those people will feel when some work accidents occur in their basements.

Was skimming through some background on this. These detainees got the best lawyers money can buy which leads me to wonder who was paying for their defense. Many of them acquired AK-47 training. Some are seeking 30,000 dollars in addition to asylum in the USA. Other countries they can go is Canada or Germany.
Susan Baker Manning of the mega legal firm Bingham McCutchen LLP represents 6 of the applicants. It's probably a pro-bono case.
I doubt we mere mortals would ever get this kind of legal representation -- especially on a pro-bono basis.

Sometime when you're feeling important;
Sometime when your ego's in bloom
Sometime when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified in the room,
Sometime when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how they humble your soul;
Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining
Is a measure of how you will be missed.
You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop and you'll find that in no time
It looks quite the same as before.
The moral of this quaint example
Is do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There's no indispensable man.

You have my best wishes for complete success with the stop-smoking plan, FBV. Liam Neeson is one of my favorites too and I grieve for his loss. So senseless and tragic.

Gah. Business travel is so glamorous. I spent three hours at Dulles today waiting on a flight. The first flight was delayed an hour; we boarded and the pilot announced we had a nail in the tire, thirty minutes later they figured out they had no spare tires so they pulled us off the plane. I made it to Atlanta, three hours late, and had a wonderful dinner on my boss' s expense account. Then I see the Free John Lindh website.

If they are going to release them into the U.S. they should be released into San Francisco or Berkley. They should also offer adopt a Gitmo unlawful combatant adoption program.

OT - From DEBKA, I'm not sure what to make of it, but frightening if true:
Saudis create anti-Israel Palestinian "militia" in Gaza to combat Hamas
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
March 18, 2009, 9:25 AM (GMT+02:00)New pro-Saudi terror militia in South Lebanon
DEBKAfile's military sources disclose that Saudi intelligence services are deep in recruitment for a new radical Islamist terrorist militia in the southern Gaza Strip towns of Deir al Balakh, Khan Younes and Rafah, with Egyptian blessing. More than 1,000 Palestinians have joined up in two weeks, poached from the extreme Hamas fringes and the Salafi sects.
Recruiters promise greater militancy against Israel than Hamas and Jihad Islami combined.
The new Gaza group is intended to complement the pro-Saudi organization established in southern Lebanon in January, part of a new Riyadh project to establish a chain of Islamist, Taliban-style fighting cadres under Saudi control for combating the pro-Iranian and al Qaeda terrorist organizations strung across the Middle East.
The Saudis are pumping into southern Gaza weapons, cash and dozens of military instructors for a strong infrastructure. This flow could not have taken place through Egyptian territory without Cairo's knowledge and approval.
DEBKAfile's Middle East sources disclose the hand behind this grand design is the Saudi intelligence chief Prince Muqrin Abdul Aziz. He has used Hamas leaders' absence and their preoccupation in Cairo with prisoner swap negotiations with Israel and Palestinian unity talks to lay the groundwork for the pro-Saudi Palestinian terror group in the Gaza Strip.
The organization up and running in S. Lebanon, dubbed the Arab Islamic Resistance Organization, soon challenged pro-Iranian Hizballah's domination of South Lebanon by becoming the first non-Hizballah element ever to stage a comprehensive "war game" close to the Israeli border without Iran's proxy interfering.
Exercises included chemical warfare drill, a sign that the Saudis are preparing to arm their new terrorist network with sophisticated means of war.

Sarah Jane Olson (former 70’s SLA terrorist) was paroled back to Minnesota today after completing 7-years of a 14-year term in a California prison for a deadly bank robbery and planting pipe bombs under LA squad cars. Since we already have her back we may as well take some of the Gitmo boys. There would be one condition though. They’d have to live next to old Sarah. Got to keep all the bombers/terrorists in one place you know. Hopefully they’d have a ‘work accident’ and take each other out.

Not just right wing blogs can use a pain in the ass or two. BTW, I got as much shit from the leftie sites as I get on here. From the link:
"But I think liberal blog sites ought to provide the same service–a dissenting blogger–so the preachers to the choir there can experience dissent rather than the back patting, ass kissing they seem to revel in."
Fine. If you think we need to be kept honest lest we descend into right wing echo chamber madness then more power to you.
If you paid attention you would find that the reason that this blog is NOT like the type of blog mentioned in your link is because of the class and civility of the host. Nutjobs are shown the door and rational posters thrive. It was this way before you or I got here.

News Update: Army Unveils New Award
Subject: Combat Briefing Badge (CBB)
Recognizing the need for an award for troops assigned to headquarters units during combat operations, the Army today announced the approval of the Combat Briefing Badge, or CBB. "People don't realize that being in a major headquarters can be just as stressful as going on patrols or convoys," said MAJ John Remf. "When you're briefing that many General Officers, your career can end in a heartbeat. And it can happen to anyone at any time, not just combat arms soldiers." DOD statistics note that CSS personnel are more likely to suffer career-ending incidents in rear areas than Combat Arms Soldiers. "This just reflects that reality," said Pentagon spokesman LTC Roger Pogue.
The award ranks in precedence below the CIB and CAB, but above the EIB and PowerPoint Ranger tab.
The criteria for the award is still under discussion, but preliminary guidance authorizes the award for 30 days of continuous briefings of officers at least two grades higher than the briefer without incident while serving in a theater of operations in which the awardee is eligible for hostile fire and hazardous duty pay.

I have an idea: Take them to New York and tell them that, if they can make it off Manhattan Island, they're free.
And be sure to advertise the time and place on NYC TV for three days beforehand.
You mean like this?
--
“Mister bin Laden, you are free to go. This court is adjourned.” He slammed down the gavel for the last time. It was followed by a silence felt around the world. Osama bin Laden rose from his chair a free man. He slowly walked out of the courtroom…only to find the corridors outside totally deserted and tranquil.
He could not believe what he was seeing. His pace quickened as he approached the main security checkpoints used for inspecting visitors and workers entering the courthouse. No one manned the posts and the doors to freedom and fresh air were just ahead.
He reached them and opened a door. Outside he looked up, saw the sunny skies, and found a lone car waiting at the base of the fifty steps to take him to Queens and John F. Kennedy International Airport. Again he found total desertion and tranquility.
He shouted at the top of his lungs in Arabic, “God is Great!” which echoed among the tall buildings of the city; he commenced running down the steps toward the waiting limousine. On the twenty-sixth step, a noise emanated from the streets so quickly that by the time he reached the thirty-seventh step, it was deafening. Osama witnessed a massive throng of New Yorkers bypassing the waiting limo and surrounding him.
It was at this moment that Osama bin Laden knew the finality of his life was at hand. He realized the softhearted mercy of the complacent American people was a fallacy. His eyes widened with terror as the crowd surged forward and engulfed him in their midst.
And Osama bin Laden got it in THE END!

I do not believe for one second 0bama believes in the security and prosperity of Americans, whatever class or race or creed.

OT: I think I have a plan to raise money for my fishing license. Early in my career I built a few electric guitars. They suck and really can't be sold but I noticed a new guitar repair place near me. If I take out the pickups and pots I might be able to get some money out of them for spare parts.
Wish me luck
For some reason I will personally feel better if I know you are out there fishing, KT.

The old Navy Chief finally retired and got that chicken ranch he always wanted. He took
with him his life-long pet parrot.
First morning at 0430, the parrot squawked loudly and said, “Reveille, Reveille. Up all
hands. Heave out and trice up. The smoking lamp is lighted, now Reveille.”
The old chief told the parrot, “We are no longer in the Navy. Go back to sleep.”
The next morning, the parrot did the same thing. Chief told the parrot, “If you keep this up, I'll put you out in the chicken pen.”
Again the parrot did it, and true to his word, the Chief put the parrot in the chicken pen.
About 0630 the next morning, the Chief was awakened by one heck of a ruckus in the chicken pen. He went out to see what was the matter. The parrot had about 40 white chickens at attention in formation, and on the ground laid 3 bruised and beaten brown chickens. The parrot was saying, “By God, when I say fall out in dress whites, I don't
mean Khakis!”

I see what you are saying, I think. The way I've worked it out in my mind is that I want Obama to want what is right for the country. If he wants what is right for the country, then I want him to succeed.
However the truth is that Obama wants what is harmful for the country. Because he wants what is Harmful to the country, I wish to see him fail, but only in such a way that his failure produces what is good for the country.
In either case, it is not as simple as wishing him to succeed or fail. What I'm afraid we are going to get is an epic fail from Obama that is itself harmful to the country as well as Obama's ambitions. This seems to be the dominant probablity. The only thing worse would be for Obama to mean ill towards the Country (the jury is still very much out on that) and be successful in his intent.
I don't rule that posibillity out.
DING!
I think of both Bush's and Reagan. All three understood that they were men serving in an office. That the Office was much, much more than them as individuals. I don't believe Obama understands that, his arrogance and narcissism makes him believe he is the totality of the Presidency, not a temporary custodian of the Office and Country.

When we arrived in Qatar after 11 months of a combat deployment in the mean streets of Mosul, the USAF in charge of transitioning soldiers forced us to turn in our weapons. Because it was completely safe in Qatar. We didn't like it (after spending nearly a year, awake or asleep, in constant physical contact with it), we understood.
There was no danger in Qatar. We were completely safe where we were.
That being said, everyone that was stationed there (and only there) still got combat pay and a combat patch. There were people who weren't even issued a weapon when deployed who got combat pay. Unbelievable.

" In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price."

And so forth and so on, until in his mind it is just that the nation die, because it has failed him so (that last is more Hitlerian in flavor).
It is far worse than simply a little man in a big office. It's a little man with delusions of grandeur in the most important office in the world, arguably the most important office in the world ever. We can try to hope that he will grow in office, but his core dysfunction, narcissism, would tend to make that unlikely.

Dodd is really exposed on the AIG bonuses.
Dodd: Administration sought bonus limit revision
By JIM KUHNHENN, AP
3 hours ago
WASHINGTON — For a while, the disappearance of an executive bonus restriction from last month's economic stimulus looked like sleight of hand worthy of a Las Vegas stage. No one could explain how the provision faded into thin air. On Wednesday, Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., acknowledged that his staff agreed to dilute the executive pay provision that would have applied retroactively to recipients of federal aid.
Dodd, the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, told CNN that the request came from Obama administration officials whom he did not identify.
The provision was the subject of new attention this week because, had it survived, it would have prevented the American International Group Inc. from granting $165 million in bonuses to employees of its financial products division.
While the House and Senate reconciled their different stimulus bills last month, the Treasury Department expressed concern with a Senate restriction on bonuses, noting that if it applied to existing compensation contracts it could face a legal challenge.
"The alternative was losing, in my view, the entire section on executive excessive compensation," Dodd told CNN. "Given a choice, this is not an uncommon occurrence here, I agreed to a modification in the legislation, reluctantly."

For decades, liberals have been releasing criminals back into society. The liberals who make these decisions never bear the consequences of their decision. Somebody else, some other poor innocent sap, pays the price when the criminal decides to do his monstrous deeds. The liberals sit around and pat themselves on the back, and marvel at how compassionate they are, and how much better they are than the evil conservatives who want to actually make the bad guys pay for their crimes. Again and again, they ignore the results of their actions. They congratulate themselves for their intentions.
With enough experience at this, they have to be deemed to know the real-world consequences. Their intentions are that those consequences should follow. They want to make us pay for wanting to live.

There are a real limited number of single mothers making 80,000 a year. Is the 24-y'old going to be covered? At what point do the current programs cut off dependents? Kaiser cut me loose at 23, but that was coverage my mother paid for through her employer.
Yes, but there are a limited number of people like me in this country too. It can be a single father, mother, couple, etc, making that amount and having the same aged dependent in their household. I don't like the idea of using "special taxes" to help foot the bill for other peoples' problems. Otherwise, I think they should create a "special tax" for "my own personal needs" to be taken care of by the Nanny State.

Hi there KT - I know what you mean, but I think we have at least a tentative victory on Vet's paying for their own healthcare - hell after we discussed it out here, Fox was all over it, Rush was all over it, Charles put up a thread about it and at least one congresscritter wrote to me to say that idea of Vets paying for their own health care is DEAD in the House.

Okay, from what I have read and heard regarding the stem cell ban. GWB ban was on new lines of stem cells being created. This forced government research scientests to look for other alternatives. Hence the expanding research into Adult stem cells. So it may look anti-science at first, but it has benefited everyone immensely.
Not to mention, ebryonic stem cell research has produced ZERO-while Adult Stem Cell research has accomplished a few breakthroughs'. That is why BO trashed the fundung for it, and Embryonic research-while PRETENDING to fund it all......truly sad.

The belief that the constitution is "a living document" is centered on the idea that it means whatever the ruling elite wants it to mean at any particular time... even if the new meaning runs directly counter to the actual words in the document.
The opposite of "living document" is not "dead document", it is "constructionism" or "original intent".

Good evening, pink.
Note to PBO.
It is better to have someone jerk you off with a loose hand than a clenched fist.
Since you brought it up ...
There seems to be a curious absence from the very beginning of speculation on the sexuality of Teh One. For that matter, that absence extends to the lack of presence of sexuality. Especially when speaking of narcissism, sexuality is an integral component. Most narcissists tend to have a heightened (and often deviant) sexuality, but it is more often about power and influence than it is about intimacy or love.
Just my random thoughts. Where's the man's sexuality? Does it even exist?

A month ago I didn't like Obama that much.. now I'm getting scared.. troops being sent into Alabama.. and won't say who ordered it.. wanting to back door away the 2nd amendment.. a bill to create a uniformed national civilian corps with camps out in rural areas for advanced training?
by police officers? threatening death to business men who get a bonus they earned doing what this treasury sect wanted them to do. can you spell scapegoat? can "Fat Joo" be far away now?
the amount of money they are printing.. what is it now about 12 trillions this year.. more then has ever been spent in Omericas history.

So we have Holder who wants to release Gitmo terrorists into the U.S., and we have Tony West, Obama's nominee for the Justice Dept., who was a terrorist's defense attorney! I assume Holder and West will be working in concert - one let's them go and the other one defends them. What a team.

No, but I will ask them in June. We were discussing Deerslayer in the last stages of the election, and we did discuss Palin's campaign and the image of the American Romantic hero. It's not a perfect match, but they had some fun with it, and some of them brought in some magazine articles and such. It made Fenimore Cooper more fun, and really, he's so...early nineteenth century.
The Juniors do American Literature, from Anne Bradstreet and Jonathan Edwards straight through. We have to keep referring back to the history as we go--luckily they have a U.S. history course the same year--and during the election they were rather interested in what was going on.

A bartender is sitting behind the bar on a typical day, when the door busts open and in come four exuberant blondes. They come up to the bar, order five bottles of champagne and ten glasses, take their order over and sit down at a large table. The corks are popped, the glasses are filled, and they begin toasting and chanting, "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!" Soon, three more blondes arrive, take up their drinks and the chanting grows. "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!" Two more blondes show up and soon their voices are joined in raising the roof. "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!" Finally, the tenth blonde comes in with a picture under her arm. She walks over to the table, sets the picture in the middle and the table erupts. Up jump the others, they begin dancing around the table, exchanging high-fives, all the while chanting "51 days, 51 days, 51 days!" The bartender can't contain his curiosity any longer, so he walks over to the table. There in the center is a beautifully framed child's puzzle of the Cookie Monster. When the frenzy dies down a little bit, the bartender asks one of the blondes, "What's all the chanting and celebration about?" The blonde who brought in the picture pipes in, "Everyone thinks that blondes are dumb and they make fun of us. So, we decided to set the record straight. Ten of us got together, bought that puzzle and put it together.....the side of the box said 2-4 years, but we put it together in 51 days!"

We read a couple excerpts from the slave narratives, Douglass and Jacobs, "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", "A Mystery of Heroism", "War Is Kind", "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", "The War Prayer", "The Lowest Animal", "A Pair of Silk Stockings" and "A Wagner Matinee".

A couple had two little boys, ages eight and ten, who were excessively mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could be assured that if any mischief occurred in their town their two young sons were in some way involved. The parents were at their wits end as to what to do about their sons' behavior. The mother had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children in the past, so she asked her husband if he thought they should send the boys to speak with the clergyman. The husband said, "We might as well. We need to do something before I really lose my temper!" The clergyman agreed to speak with the boys, but asked to see them individually. The eight-year-old went to meet with him first. The clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly, "Where is God?" The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?" Again the boy made no attempt to answer, so the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face, "WHERE IS GOD?" At that, the boy bolted from the room and ran directly home slamming himself in his closet. His older brother followed him into the closet and said, "What happened?" The younger brother replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time. God is missing and they think we did it!"

The only thing that makes me feel even a drop of hope is that he is losing the public, and deservedly so. Not only are we in a fight for any sort of financial security brought on by the machinations of Bubba and Jimmy, we face a future that for our kids and grandkids offers a bleak future re a university education, and thus also the research that has been done here and in Israel both? Endangered. in this technological society, we just cannot afford to go backwards. The hate of Jews is now no longer really endemic; it is a pandemic.
When I look at my kids, all 4 of whom are very well educated, and at my 2 1/2, nearly 7 and nearly 9-year old grandkids? What does the future bode for them? A lot of public schools are regressing, and the teachers are just mailing it in. The unions and tenure are not interested in the kids. Yes, there are so many wonderful teachers still, but they are being outnumbered.
Without our support of Israel? The vultures are reading a feeding frenzy. And The One and his buddies are hovering overhead, ready to strike. Let any Jew who voted for Hussein realize what they did, and suffer the consequences. There is no turning back, and we have to stand together to fight and vanquish the enemy within.
And the fight began not on Inauguration day, but on Election day.
G'nite all. Am I angry? Livid, actually. Have I given up? Not on your life. United we stand...or then we will be lost.
May today be a better day than yesterday.
And Killgore? Anyone with the brains to hire you will be very lucky.
My message to Jimmy the Jew hater? Get stuffed.

the press didn't say it ... I was being cheeky when I said it. but I believe Coach K was spot on in his assessment of BO's time management priorities.
Actually, CNN did say that...
Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski isn't thrilled his team got snubbed by the leader of the free world.
"Somebody said that we're not in President Obama's Final Four, and as much as I respect what he's doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets," Krzyzewski told a reporter from the Associated Press on Wednesday.
They make it seem like coach K is reacting to Obama's snubbing... as if he really cares about anybody's brackets, or that he might have reacted differently had Obama chosen Duke.

The reason I asked is that I love a film version of one of his short novels. It's 98 minutes long (a couple of classes?) and very well done. An amazon review says
In this Horton Foote (Tender Mercies) adaptation of the William Faulkner short story, an honorable prisoner put to work by the Red Cross rescues a pregnant woman grasping a tree just feet above the turbulent waters of the 1927 Mississippi flood. Having never manned a boat before and wildly off course, the convict (Arliss Howard, Full Metal Jacket) manages to convey Addie (Jeanne Tripplehorn, The Firm) in what amounts to a rowboat to New Orleans and then back home, while she gives birth and recovers on board their vessel. Along the way the pair manages to befriend Cajuns, conquer crocodiles, and fall quietly in love. This Hallmark Hall of Fame production directed by John Kent Harrison is suspenseful, moving, and, while leisurely paced, ultimately quite rewarding. Its lack of sexual content, violence (except to a few of the aforementioned crocs), or rough talk make it excellent family fare. --Kimberly Heinrichs

The Nation was founded on a few simple principals.

That Rights are intrinsic to the individual.
The left today may give lip service to those words but their actions place restrictions on individual rights.
What proposal in the last 2 years of a Democratic controlled
congress, and the last 2 months of a Democrat President have expanded,
or further strengthened individual rights?
Indeed. Actually, it should have been Life, Liberty, and Property. They had loony liberals back then, too.
And you’re right. These are intrinsic rights. They are not "granted" to us by any government, nor can they be revoked. (However, justice demands retribution in kind against people who deprive others of these rights).
Elitists, statists, petty criminals, and most dangerous of all, vacuous utopianists, do not think “ordinary” people deserve freedom and equality under the law. These kind of politicians become addicted to feelings of power and control. They routinely and arrogantly rob people of their lives, their liberties, and their property in the name of the children, the environment, social justice, redistribution of (other people's) wealth, world peace, or simply political expediency.

They'll hold bake sales to raise money for the poor detainees' relocation fees, the lawyers among them will volunteer to sue the U.S. government for tens of millions of dollars on their behalf, on a purely pro bono basis.
However, if a former detainee buys a house in their neighborhood, they'll move away immediately.

What I don't like about stories like CNN's is the assignment of motives to people's words or actions without any actual evidence for that assignation. News orgs. do that too often, and usually to portray those they see as "not like them" in a negative light... for instance hinting opposition to welfare comes from a lack of compassion, or a barely hidden racist streak.
If they know why someone said or did something, share the info with us. If not, don't give us a b.s. motivation.

Beck On the Strange Appearance of the US Army In Alabama
Today on Glenn Beck, Peter Johnson, Jr., was on to discuss the complete Constitutional violation of U.S. Army MPs being sent to Alabama recently. Beck’s show contacted everybody to find out who sent them, but nobody seemed to know. It’s also a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, but who knows who called it?
Folks, this is getting very scary and very serious. People think Bush was out of hand with the Patriot Act, but this act of sending the Army in to a municipal city with NO obvious reason or invitation goes way above and beyond anything Bush did.

"Here's the problem," Mr. Obama said, "It's almost like they've got -- they've got a bomb strapped to them and they've got their hand on the trigger. You don't want them to blow up. But you've got to kind of talk them, ease that finger off the trigger."
I was over at ABC News reading the comments section, and thought this one said it all about the above quote:
Oh, so that's how it's done? I'm a Soldier and have been fighting suicide bombers for a few years now. If only I knew that I just need to talk to them sooner! I could have saved a few terrorist lives!

I'm told that there is great fly fishing in the Black River area (I think it's on the Apache reservation in the central eastern part of the state). My eldest went there on a scouting trip - he got a couple of trout.
Other than that, I don't have a clue. I used to fish in Puget Sound... salmon, flounder, sea bass. Yum. Double yum.
Never quite got into fly fishing. I mostly like the bay and ocean. I fished Lake Erie last year for salmon, damn they're good. When you say sea bass,are you talking about stripers(rock fish) or those smaller blackish brown bass?

True. Tapper has been about the closest to being conservative for a long time at ABC or the MSM. He's wavered before which is something that was pretty evident to anyone that's read his blogs but it's good to see him there and reporting on the reality of Barack Obama.

i could be wrong, but my understanding is that the local 5 man department put out an all hands plea for help, and that the MP's simply provided crowd control and crime scene security to protect evidence. it may be technically illegal, but i'd like to think that what they did was a good thing, for all the right reasons, and ultimately, was what Soldiers are supposed to do: protect & defend this country and it's citizens.

The Chinese at least are not terrorists or enemy combats. They were supposed to be released a long time ago, and have been living in fairly nice conditions at GITMO trying to find out where to release them. Here's their story.
That's a story. I'm not convinced that it is their story. The little article on Musi.com, which you refered to, doesn't seem to delve into the circumstances that found these male youths in Afghanistan. Everyone in Stateville prison claims that they're innocent. Maybe we should just release everyone in every state and federal prison sentenced during the Bush years. If America is so bad as you libz claim these guys should welcome being sent back China.

I *still* don't want the scapegoats here! Not because they're "evil terrists" or some other such bull, but simply because:
a) they've been in Gitmo for years and if they were innocent people who didn't hate us before, they sure as hell do now (and if they really were innocent, who could even blame them for hating us after what happened to them?)
b) even if they're genuinely nice people *and* somehow got through Gitmo without forming a deep, abiding hatred for the US - the degree to which they'll be targeted by idiots when they get released all but ensures that they *will* form that hatred. Or get killed.
TWL, something tells me that OBL himself doesn't qualify as am ""evil terrists"" terrorist in your book.
These 'innocent' Chinese muslim youths were captured in a war zone during a war. Even if they are innocent, which is doubtful, they're not the 1st people to be interred or refugeed during a war. Sh1t happens. One could actually say that they're lucky that they weren't killed by the Afghans given the circustances. If the Americans hadn't taken them they would likely be dead right now.
So I'm not buying your BS sob story. The fact that they don't want to go home kind of undercuts your anti-American BS diatribe.

Thanks for posting the link. I stand somewhat corrected.
I still can't see how releasing them into the United States is the right choice. As someone pointed out in the link you posted, habeas corpus isn't supposed to be compensatory.
I wonder...if they were returned to their native land, would they be any more likely to face repression than they were before they were "sold" to U.S. forces by "bounty hunters"?
Perhaps they could be returned to Afghanistan, which has a Uighur population and which I assume is where they were taken in the first place.
