There used to be a Buddhist temple in a former neighborhood of mine. They moved out of there, which is too bad for my old 'hood- they were nice neighbors.

Lincoln a death blow on labor bill?
If Sen. Arlen Specter’s blunt opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act was a blow to Big Labor’s top priority this year, Sen. Blanche L. Lincoln’s announcement Monday may be the final nail in the coffin.
Lincoln (D-Ark.) told a Little Rock political gathering Monday afternoon that she couldn’t support the divisive labor bill, which would make it much easier for workers to unionize. Without the support of a key Southern Democrat like Lincoln, it’s not clear how EFCA gets 60 votes in the Senate.
“I cannot support that bill,” Lincoln said, according to Arkansas Business. “Cannot support that bill in its current form. Cannot support and will not support moving it forward in its current form.”
Anyone want to guess which southern state senator is expecting a serious competitor this coming election?

From a later quote in the same piece, I'm thinking the writer and all subsequent editors don't have a clue about some words in the English language
Obama's journey to Iraq begged the question of why he chose to visit a war that is ending rather than Afghanistan, where the fight promises to drag on for years.

Ahhh toasted insects. yes
No one ever offered me any larva and I didn't seek it out - probably would have if the opportunity had presented itself.
I was quite adventurous.
The larva is nasty. They put red ants on top and their secretions give the larva their 'flavor'. Ick.

Obama team warns U.S. lawmakers: Expect confrontation with Israel
By Aluf Benn
Tags: Palestinian, Netanyahu, Obama
In an unprecedented move, the Obama administration is readying for a possible confrontation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by briefing Democratic congressmen on the peace process and the positions of the new government in Israel regarding a two-state solution.
The Obama administration is expecting a clash with Netanyahu over his refusal to support the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel.

Clearly, the writer is writing from a different planet. On his world, the troops only give joyous receptions to Obama, but were staid for Bush, when they weren't throwing shoes at him.
Obama's reception as the president who is ending the highly unpopular Iraq war could not have contrasted more starkly with the staid, set-piece visits by the conflict's author, former President George W. Bush.On his last visit, Bush had to duck as a local journalist threw his shoes at the former president during a news conference with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The video tape continues to play repeatedly on cable television, interspersed for contrast with Obama working the crowd of 600 troops who assembled for a warmest of welcomes for a president who is sending them home.
Please to ignore that the troops are not Iraqi journalists. It messes up the picture he is painting.
On this planet; however, there are these two videos.

Here's a song for the young monk in the picture: "Skellig," by Loreena McKennitt (different faith tradition, but describes similar life):
O light the candle, John
The daylight has almost gone
The birds have sung their last
The bells call all to mass
Sit here by my side
For the night is very long
There's something I must tell
Before I pass along
I joined the brotherhood
My books were all to me
I scribed the words of God
And much of history
Many a years was I
Perched out upon the sea
The waves would wash my tears;
The wind, my memory
I'd hear the ocean breathe
Exhale upon de shore
I knew the tempest's blood
Its wrath I would endure
And so the years went by
Within my rock cell
With only a mouse or bird
My friend; I loved them well
And so it came to pass
I'd come here to Romani
And many a year it took
Till I arrived here with thee
On dusty roads I walked
And over mountains high
Through rivers running deep
Beneath the endeless sky
Beneath these jasmine flowers
Amidst these cypress tress
I give you now my books
And all their mysteries
Now take the hourglass
And turn it on its head
For when the sands are still
Tis then you'll find me dead
O light the candle, John
The daylight is almost gone
The birds have sung their last
The bells call all to mass

Just saw this on Fox news
[Link: www.foxnews.com...]
WASHINGTON -- Former Cuban President Fidel Castro was "very engaging, very energetic," U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, a California Democrat, said following a congressional delegation's meeting with the ailing revolutionary where a wide range of issues were discussed.
Castro met Tuesday with three members of the Congressional Black Caucus in his first known meeting with American officials since he fell ill in July 2006.
Lee was joined in her meeting with the 82-year-old Castro by Rep. Laura Richardson, D-Calif., and Rep. Bobby Rush, D. Ill.
The trio was part of a delegation of six Democratic representatives who left Havana on Tuesday after a five-day trip designed to encourage dialogue between the United States and Cuba, amid much speculation long-chilly relations may improve.
The U.S. delegation -- all Democrats -- also included Reps. Mel Watt of North Carolina, Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri, Marcia Fudge of Ohio and Mike Honda of California. All are also member of the Congressional Black Caucus except Honda.
Castro issued a statement saying that one member of the delegation, who he does not name, described American society as "racist" and said that former Secretary of State Colin Powell could have been president but his family rightly talked him out of it because of fear that he would be assassinated like Martin Luther King, Jr.
Castro said that one unnamed member of the delegation told him that Obama "can not go beyond liberalizing travel and allowing remittances by Cuban-Americans, because proclaiming the lifting of the blockade or the full normalization of bilateral relations could mean the impossibility for him to be re-elected. Besides, he reaffirmed that the anti-Cuban right wing still has enough power to corner him and prevent his re-election," Castro said.

Would any of it sound like reconnaissance if he weren't Turkish?: Wildly careering over corn fields and pastures with no permission, landing on a highway of all places, and then hanging out in a convenience store before willingly going along with police?
No. He could easily be a Brit like Richard Reid. Nationality is just one factor in maintaining vigilance. Behavior is equally important. And reconnaissance would be a totally expected precursor behavior to look out for.
All I see in the comments here is a natural prudence that I'd hope we'd all have after what those so called bastards did to us on 9-11.

I don't give a whit whether you cared for my comment or not. I'll not sit idle while someone insinuates I lack clarity about the events of September 11 just because I refuse to accept every crackpot theory expressed.

No. He could easily be a Brit like Richard Reid. Nationality is just one factor in maintaining vigilance. Behavior is equally important. And reconnaissance would be a totally expected precursor behavior to look out for.
All I see in the comments here is a natural prudence that I'd hope we'd all have after what those so called bastards did to us on 9-11.

Ward Cleaver -
Those "BLACK CAUCUS MEMBERS" should be Horsewhipped by their Community. Bad and Corrupt as he was, Fulgencio Batista was actually a "Mixed-Race" North American President - FIFTY (50) years before President Obama. The degree of his "mix" was such that he was denied membership in the Havana Yacht Club - As President of Cuba!
Since the 1959 Revolution, Cuba got the Argentine Ernesto "Che" Guevara, the best posthumous T-Shirt Salesman in the word, as President of the Bank of Cuba - Failure, leading Cuban Troops in Africa - Failure, Trying to lead a South American Revolution, (...mmmm, the InkWell in Long Branch, NJ comes to mind - A Starbucks before there was Starbucks!) - Failure, tried to save his skin when captured, shot dead by the locals as if HE were a Prisoner in La Cabana. He was a racist, white supremicist - read his writings
The Castro Regime is much the same. Fidel, the guy that wrote FDR to borrow TEN BUCKS - the letter is at Hyde Park - Raul, his younger brother are BOTH remnants of a dying regime. Tell the Black Caucus Members to request a meeting with Dr. Biscet (They Won't Do It Without Prodding as they are Socialists FIRST, LAST and ALWAYS) - A Proud "Afro-Cuban" Doctor - AS IN M.D. - Jailed for many years for his politics. Until they do, they are just SHILLS for US Economic interests who want to sell the Castro regime stuff ON CREDIT - with the US Taxpayer on the hook if (Really When!) the Castro Regime fails to pay. That is all - FOR NOW!

In an Tuesday with CNN, US Vice President Joe Biden was asked how worried he is that Israel, under Netanyahu, will launch a strike to take out Iran's nuclear facilities.
"I don't believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu would do that," Biden said. "I think he would be ill-advised to do that. And so my level of concern is no different than it was a year ago."
Biden was interviewed on CNN's "The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer."

I laughed thinking I'd be making dinner, folding laundry, making sure the dogs got chow.

re: #274 VioletTiger
What exactly is Nesara? I googled it, but still don't get it.
Here's there plan from a few years back:
1. Restores Constitutional Law in America as of NESARA’s public announcement.
2. Removes US administration officials and all members of the US Congress from their positions due to their continuous unconstitutional actions. Bush, Cheney, Cabinet members, and all members of Congress are immediately removed from office by NESARA’s public announcement; specific law enforcement personnel shall physically remove Bush government officials from their offices. These removals allow a fresh start at the national level. Using the Constitutional Line of Succession, NESARA installs Constitutionally acceptable NESARA President and Vice President Designates until new federal elections can take place within six months after NESARA’s announcement.
3. Because NESARA abolishes unconstitutional states of emergency, NESARA’s public announcement declares “peace”. US military in Iraq and Afghanistan are immediately recalled to the USA.
4. As partial remedy for 90 years of government and banking fraud, NESARA requires zeroing out of credit card balances and bank debt relief be given to Americans.
5. Initiates the US Treasury Bank System with new U.S. Treasury currency backed by gold. The Federal Reserve is abolished; Federal Reserve facilities and most personnel are absorbed into the US Treasury Bank System.
6. Abolishes Income Taxes in US and creates a national sales tax on new, non-essential items as revenue for government. Essential items such as food and medicine, and used items, are exempt from the sales tax.

A balanced schedule? Yeah, right. Just going directly to Strasbourg. No real explanation.
e had also hoped Mr Obama would agree to a meeting before attending the G20 summit in London on April 3. The French had suggested that Mr Obama fly from London to Normandy on Friday morning for a stop before the Nato summit. Instead, he is going directly to Strasbourg.
According to French reports, Mr Obama was to visit the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial at Colleville-sur-mer, just north of Omaha Beach. The pair were apparently to have dined at the nearby chateau de Bénouville in Caen.

The larva is nasty. They put red ants on top and their secretions give the larva their 'flavor'. Ick.
Was raised to eat just about anything but I drew the line at insects, snakes, eel, frogs....well..you get the picture. :)
Eel is quite good. So are frog legs. Bugs generally don't taste like much by themselves; the texture (crunchy) is weird. Snake, I've never tried, but I imagine it's similar to alligator, another bland white meat textured pretty much like chicken.
Can't say I've had larva yet. I'd try it if it was offered - and if I saw someone else put it in their mouth first.

Unfortunately, it's being whipped by shit-stirrers like Michelle Malkin. The resulting crowds...well, they're not exactly the best examples of conservative thinkers to put forward. It doesn't surprise me at all that other loons have joined in; it goes with the territory.
Pity. What could have been an effective rallying point for fiscal sanity has turned into a freak show.
I wonder if Soros is behind any of this?
You sound just like Arlen Spector. You're a champion of nothingness.

I think some here are taking the whole "guilt by association" thing just a tad too far.
We must be careful. KT thinks we are too stupid to think for ourselves. and if we dare show up at one of those nutty tea party's - we are automatically Nazis and koolaid drinking nesara members (whatever the hell that is?)
Just like these people.

Eel is quite good. So are frog legs. Bugs generally don't taste like much by themselves; the texture (crunchy) is weird. Snake, I've never tried, but I imagine it's similar to alligator, another bland white meat textured pretty much like chicken.
Can't say I've had larva yet. I'd try it if it was offered - and if I saw someone else put it in their mouth first.
After watching Anthony Bourdain, I would definitely draw the line at warthog anus.
You can keep the eel.
The larva is icky.
But then I always had a problem with that kind of texture.
And I don't eat any type of animal anus. Thank yew very much.

Methinks you're trying to paint all the Tea Parties with too broad a brush. My conservative friends who have been to these have not mentioned any kooks.
Are you trying to stop them by any chance?

Killgore is absolutely right about this. The NESARA kooks are as far out as you can get. If they're organizing tea parties, we're seeing the beginning of the end of them as a viable form of protest.

Was ACORN, Soros, Wright, et al the beginning of the end for Obama? I think the kooks will get sorted out. I haven't seen any yet at the Ohio events. Time will tell.

Haven't seen any of the kooks here either. Nor in Pennsylvania. There was one recently in Chester county where one of my cousins attended. No Paulians that she mentioned. And she would have been totally weirded out by 'over-the-top' types.

OT: Israel tests system to shoot down Iranian missiles
By MATTI FRIEDMAN, Associated Press Writer Matti Friedman, Associated Press WriterJERUSALEM – Israel successfully tested an anti-missile system designed to protect the country against Iranian attack, the Defense Ministry said, perfecting technology developed in response to failures of similar systems during the 1991 Gulf War. The intercept of a dummy missile was the 17th test of the Arrow system, a U.S.-Israeli joint venture. Israeli defense officials said the interceptor was an upgraded Arrow II, designed to counter Iran's Shahab ballistic missile.
Israel has identified Iran as its biggest threat, citing the country's nuclear program and its development of long-range ballistic missiles.
Sounds good - successfully tested - altho it still leaves a worrisome number of alternate delivery scenarios.

I'm glad to hear that! The early one in Cleveland also had young people. That was refreshing to me as well.
As for the naysayers.
I just don't see giving up on the notion of the tea party protests out of paranoia without more research as some seem to want. Do we want kooks tainting the intent? No. But I think suggesting 'game over' until we have all the facts isn't very helpful either.
My .02 cents.

What problem? I'll keep in mind what you posted. It would be stupid not to take note, but I'm not going to throw the entire movement under the bus based on your outside observance. I've met some good people and no kooks yet. I think the patriots will rise to the top and boot any kooks that need booting. Like I said, time will tell.

If I recall, GWB had no such problem in 2004. If Pres. Obama were thinking outside the box, as he is reputed to be able to do, he should have suggested that He, PM Brown, PM Harper, Pres. Sarkozy AND Chancellor Merkel meet at Normandy to honor All of the Fallen and leave the ball in Pres. Sarkozy's court.
A tribute to the fact of Peace among those Nations for the last 65 years and the resolve never to fight each other again. That is all.
