OT but personally I have some perhaps misguided hope for Obama's speech tomorrow. Perhaps he can strike a chord with the massive so-called "silent majority" of peaceful Muslims and try to rally them into the world. I'm convinced most Muslims are not violent and even a majority are agnostic and only culturally Muslim. But until they unify and dominate their lunatic fringe, they are all sleeper cells in my mind.

GMAC Sells $4.5 Billion in FDIC-Backed Bonds

Auto and mortgage lender GMAC on Wednesday priced a $4.5 billion two-part note sale, its first debt issue backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

With the FDIC guarantee, the junk-rated company can issue debt with a triple-A rating, effectively allowing it access to much cheaper financing than would otherwise be available to the embattled lender. GMAC carries a CCC rating, or eight notches into junk territory.

"They need this funding to have a shot at surviving bankruptcy, in becoming a successful firm, and I would expect that they will continue to issue paper under the FDIC umbrella," said Michael Skinner, vice president of agency and TLGP trading at Wall Street Access in New York.

Conservatives woo far right ally in Spain

The party defines itself as conservative but, according to its website, backed the so-called Vienna Declaration that brought together extreme rightwing parties from across Europe in 2005. Its allies then were Austria's Freedom party, the French National Front of Jean Marie Le Pen, the Flemish party Vlaams Belang, Alessandra Mussolini's Azione Sociale and extreme rightists from Romania and Bulgaria. Though some of the parties are openly xenophobic or Nazi apologists, Alternativa Española says it is not racist.

Hannan said last night he had not heard of Alternativa Española having been associated with the radical parties that backed the Vienna Declaration. "It is not only new information to me but it is at odds with what they said to me. I will take it up with them," he said. "If that is true, it is deeply alarming and of course we shouldn't have anything to do with them."

re: #163 Slumbering Behemoth

I remember hearing something about that, but it's not the same micro-dot Mandy was talking about.

Somebody slipped me one brand or other of the ole lysergic acid diethylamide once in another lifetime, when I wasn't so choosy about the people I hung with. Just to see what would happen to me.

I didn't have a classic bad trip, but I wasn't too happy when I figured out why I was staring into the mirror for two hours wondering why my right pupil was significantly larger than my left.

Then about six months later I had a flashback sitting in my parents' living room.

Never touched the stuff willingly after that.

Now, some good shrooms in the company of an Aldous Huxley I would have a hard time turning down.

Tried opium in SE Asia many years ago and it was spectacular. I kept thinking, "Nothing's happening," until I realized I just felt like the sky was open and singing for several hours.

After the morphine, I felt really good. They gave me something that looked like an aquarium net with a coffee filter and told me to pee in it (to save the stone I guess) and a big bottle of vicodin. I had a great time at the wedding. Ditched the stone-capture device though.

Nucs are a fact of physics.
Are they going to repeal the laws of physics?
Technology is only making it easier.
A laptop computer can do the hydrocodes.
A $5 off the shelf microchip can handle the primary timing.
Sure the hiex for the primary and the nuclear material are harder to get, but for the right price?

Giving up nucs is like post a sign in your front yard "no guns no locks."

re: #197 OldLineTexan

Do you give it good marks, Walter? My son likes "science".

A friend gave it to me after he upgraded to a better robot. It's fun, it has 3 preprogramed modes, "activity" "aggression" and "awareness." Using these preprogramed modes, you don't have to do anything, push the button on the remote and the robot will go about doing it's thing.

It can be programmed to follow you own commands, but, as soon as you turn it off, it looses whatever you programmed into it. That sucks, it doesn't have a flash memory.

Kind of pricey, and you can get tired of it real quick,

Also knew two guys that ran their car under a dump truck at 50 mph stoned on weed. I'd say it killed them, same as if it had been bourbon.

re: #222 Sharmuta

The latest poll out of The Netherlands shows Wilders' PVV party in the lead.

And according to the brussels journal (which I shan't link here) the party with the largest number of seats in parliament gets to select the prime minister and form a coalition government. There is a law against smaller parties, but also according to the bj, major parties in The Netherlands said they're willing to change the law. That could mean Geert Wilders could be the prime minister? The election is next year, so this is something to keep an eye on.

From your link:

Radio host Hal Turner — accused of hosting a website that incited Connecticut Catholics to "take up arms" and singling out two Connecticut lawmakers and a state ethics official — was taken into custody in New Jersey late today after state Capitol police obtained an arrest warrant for him.

No mention of Hannity, though. Is he involved in this?
