I kind of backed off when the veteran status came up in the previous thread. I probably should not have but I get very uncomfortable doing anything that would remotely seem like questioning the patriotism or motives of a current or previous member of the Armed Forces.
I never served myself, for reasons which I guess were understandable for an 18 year old who didn't know shit during peacetime and at the end fo the Cold War. I was physically unable to qualify for the career path I wanted in the United States Air Force so I passed on it. Many days have gone by where I wonder if I made a mistake not picking a different choice. There I times when I look at the photos of my father, grandfather, and great grandfather (veterans of Vietnam, WWII, and WWI respectively) when I feel as though I let all of them down in someway. I try to be the be the best I can as a civilian because of this.

Kufr, it is impossible for you to be clean until you accept Islaam and perform gushl and private-part plucking as many doctors have proven the truth of this Islamic teaching from the Noble Quaran. Adultery is one of the gravest sins and it deserves Allah's severe punishment in both this life and the life to come. For this reason, Islam blocks all the ways that may lead to this sin, even if it is just a lustful look.

Allah (exalted and glorified be He) says: (Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will) (Al-Baqarah 2:223), and the anus is not a place of cultivation. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said “Allah is not too shy to tell you the truth: do not have intercourse with your wives in the anus.”
The four schools of Islamic jurisprudence and other Muslim jurists have unanimously agreed that anal sex is haram.
In his response to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto,Ontario, Canada, states:
Anal sex is undoubtedly forbidden in Islam. There are authentic traditions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explicitly forbidding it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said, “Do not enter women through their rear ends.” Therefore, stay clear of this practice, and seek to derive sexual pleasure from your spouse only in ways that are clearly lawful. It should help us to know that there is always sufficiency for us in what Allah has declared as halal (lawful). So I urge you to pray to Allah as follows:
"Allahumma aghnini bi halalika `an haramika wa bi ta`atika `an ma`siyatika wa bi fadhlika `amman siwaka" (O Allah, grant me sufficiency in what You have made halal for me so that I do not need to turn to what You have made haram; and make me self-sufficient with Your obedience so that I am not compelled to disobey You; and make me self-sufficient with Your favor so that I don’t need to turn to favor of others).
Of course if the husband insists on sleeping with his wife by force, it would not be considered rape since this is a right granted to him, but it is also not in accordance with Islamic teachings. Such an act contradicts the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the ethics of intercourse. Gentleness and kindness are among the manners of intimate relations in Islam

the kufr notion of "fun" is haraam. Indeed, during vacation one should try to avoid beaches, which are full of contradiction with Islamic teachings. Certainly, it would be better not to expose underage and adolescents to these beaches. this is true. Music is haraam. Singing is haraam. Dancing is haraam. Going to your tillage with someone not the wife is haraam. Going to your tillage with the wife, but up the pooper-shooter is haraam. Drinking is haraam. Gambling is haraam. All other intoxicants hare haraam. Playing with the private part is haraam. Movies are haraam. Most restaurants in the depraved western kafir world are haraam. Dogs are haraam. Jews are pig-eating sons of pigs and mokeys and apes. Clearly haraam. Talking to non-related members of the opposite sex is haraam. talking to non-related members of the same sex is haraam because it is an occasion of sodomy. Failing to shave the private parts is haraam. Sports are haraam. Cycling is haraam. particularly when you are wearing lycra bike shorts, because the prancing queeny boys and the shameless sharmutas get to se the sausage and meatballs. Gymnasiums are haraam.
The less fun we have, the happier we shall be, inshallah!

Show trials are a major tool in the armory of an authoritarian regime. Stalin used them to great effect in consolidating his power in the 1930s, for example. It makes the statement that the government is being active and taking steps to defend the nation against the forces of evil. Since the judge and prosecution is already controlled by the government and the defense lawyers are crippled by not knowing what the charges are, what the evidence against the defendants is nor what will be acceptable as counter-evidence, the result is a foregone conclusion. And with a fanfare the government can announce that due process has been carried out according to the law of the land and the defendants have been found guilty of exactly what the government had accused them of, thus vindicating the dire warnings that the government had given of the threats to the nation.
Such a show trial is about to start in Iran. The seven members of the leadership council of the Baha’is of Iran have been held in prison for over nine months and it has just been announced that they will be put on trial soon (see [Link: www.iranpresswatch.org...]).

Until pretty recently I had the idea that Ogden Nash (1902-1971) was a 19th century figure, roughly contemporary with Mark Twain.
I think I picked this up in elementary school, where I was first exposed to Twain, Nash, and O Henry among others at about the same time.
He was actually alive and working until I was an adult and is said to have made many media appearances but I just somehow missed him.

Of course if the husband insists on sleeping with his wife by force, it would not be considered rape since this is a right granted to him, but it is also not in accordance with Islamic teachings. Such an act contradicts the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the ethics of intercourse. Gentleness and kindness are among the manners of intimate relations in Islam

Does anyone know of a good store to buy baby shoes? the smaller sizes?
It's very hard to find shoes that fit Her Royal Stoutness due to her very small feet...Target and Walmart both have little to nothing in her size, and most shoe stores do not carry the very small stuff (size 2 - size 3)

I fully expect for the left to start an all out effort to define down expectations in the effort to avoid having to admit failure. You keep hearing things like "give it time to work". The key there is how one defines the word "work".
They already are trying to sell the canard that having the rate of increasing unemployment slow down slightly for one month shows improvement. Bull. You still have jobs being destroyed by about 500,000 a month, which is huge.

Looks like the 2nd Q profit numbers are not getting with the hope and change either:
Alcoa May Report Third Straight Loss on Lower Aluminum Prices
July 8 (Bloomberg) -- Alcoa Inc., the largest U.S. aluminum producer, may report its third consecutive quarterly loss today as lower demand from automakers and the construction industry keeps the metal at about half of last year’s prices.Alcoa, the first company in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to announce results for the three months through June, is expected to report a loss excluding some items of 38 cents a share, the average estimate of 17 analysts in a Bloomberg survey. The New York-based company had profit of about 71 cents a share a year earlier.
Chief Executive Officer Klaus Kleinfeld has cut output by about 20 percent, slashed 13,500 jobs and sold a unit as the global recession depresses demand and prices for aluminum. The metal used in cars, planes and beverage cans fell
51 percent in the past year as stockpiles monitored by the London Metal Exchange rose more than fourfold to 4.4 million metric tons.
So much for the stimulus plan so far.

the kufr notion of "fun" is haraam. Indeed, during vacation one should try to avoid beaches, which are full of contradiction with Islamic teachings. Certainly, it would be better not to expose underage and adolescents to these beaches. this is true. Music is haraam. Singing is haraam. Dancing is haraam. Going to your tillage with someone not the wife is haraam. Going to your tillage with the wife, but up the pooper-shooter is haraam. Drinking is haraam. Gambling is haraam. All other intoxicants hare haraam. Playing with the private part is haraam. Movies are haraam. Most restaurants in the depraved western kafir world are haraam. Dogs are haraam. Jews are pig-eating sons of pigs and mokeys and apes. Clearly haraam. Talking to non-related members of the opposite sex is haraam. talking to non-related members of the same sex is haraam because it is an occasion of sodomy. Failing to shave the private parts is haraam. Sports are haraam. Cycling is haraam. particularly when you are wearing lycra bike shorts, because the prancing queeny boys and the shameless sharmutas get to se the sausage and meatballs. Gymnasiums are haraam.

Why is it that the price of most commodities have fallen to half or less of the former highs, but the price of the finished goods have not fallen?
Lumber is less than half of what it was when I sold my timber, but 2x4s really haven't fell in price, even when you factor in the housing debacle.
Feeder cattle are about half, but ribeyes aren't down much.
Pork bellies go for .57 cents/lb now, but bacon still costs over $3/lb.
Now I know that the commodity cost is not as much of the final cost as we might think, but the price rise is quick to happen when commodities go up.

Frankly, the Administration doesn't want to fix the economy. They've moved on to other things, and only discuss the economy when pressed, and pressed hard, about it.
In fact, it seems that they want to have the economy stay in the tank, because it makes it easier for them to terrify people into supporting their other programs, like nationalized health care and taxes on "the rich" (apparently, "rich" has now been redefined as those making more than $200,000 per year; expect that ridiculously low number to drop rapidly); when people are out of work or in fear of losing their job, having their health care taken care of looks a lot more attractive than otherwise, and the fact that there will be no one left to pay for those services isn't making it to the front burner.
Look for the Administration to ignore, or even actively sabotage the economy if it starts to perk up much prior to October/November, when the big Congressional push on health care reform will be taking place. Having a fully employed workforce doesn't help them push their agenda forward.

re: #384 SixDegrees
Frankly, the Administration doesn't want to fix the economy. They've moved on to other things, and only discuss the economy when pressed, and pressed hard, about it.
In fact, it seems that they want to have the economy stay in the tank, because it makes it easier for them to terrify people into supporting their other programs, like nationalized health care and taxes on "the rich" (apparently, "rich" has now been redefined as those making more than $200,000 per year; expect that ridiculously low number to drop rapidly); when people are out of work or in fear of losing their job, having their health care taken care of looks a lot more attractive than otherwise, and the fact that there will be no one left to pay for those services isn't making it to the front burner.
Look for the Administration to ignore, or even actively sabotage the economy if it starts to perk up much prior to October/November, when the big Congressional push on health care reform will be taking place. Having a fully employed workforce doesn't help them push their agenda forward.
I seem to recall that that number was lowered repeatedly during the campaign, down to around $70,000.00. Do you remember that?

re: #355 razorbacker
I don't want to step off into conspiracy land here, but:
Why is it that the price of most commodities have fallen to half or less of the former highs, but the price of the finished goods have not fallen?
Lumber is less than half of what it was when I sold my timber, but 2x4s really haven't fell in price, even when you factor in the housing debacle.
Feeder cattle are about half, but ribeyes aren't down much.
Pork bellies go for .57 cents/lb now, but bacon still costs over $3/lb.
Now I know that the commodity cost is not as much of the final cost as we might think, but the price rise is quick to happen when commodities go up.
Not so quick to fall, when commodities drop.
Prices of finished goods to not move in the same speed as commodities cause different price mechanism's are being used. In commodities, you tend to have a open ask and bid process happening and you adjust price up or down to meet the demand and supply.
With finished products, you tend to have a pricing structure in place with ranges that move less fluidly. They tend to go up faster than down. It takes a lot of unsold stock sitting on the shelf to get the price dropped, unless you have very in tune management.
For example, my local Walmart got in a big shipment of watermelon for the 4th of July cookouts. Problem is, it rained here all day on the 4th, so many people canceled their cookouts and trips to the fireworks, therefore they did not buy the watermelons. Watermelons go bad after a while, so my Walmart priced them down to $1 apiece (usually about $4 a piece) and made sure the cashiers let every customer coming through know.
We love watermelon so my wife bought 2 and I think is going back today to see if they have any more. She also called some other ladies inthe neighborhood and they went and bought some at the bargain price. That is an example of the price moving down quickly at the retail level, but it took some quick acting management to do it.

It's ironic that on issues of security the left does not want to give up any personal freedoms (real or perceived), which may result in more risk. However, on these issues of health and welfare, they'll give up all kinds of freedoms to eat and smoke what they like as long as health care is paid for by the collective. Do they realize this?

Mine is a "took up" dog... someone abandoned her and she took up with us. Showed up the day I got home from the hospital after having a light stroke.
She was an adult dog when she got here, and that was 7 years ago. She had been abused, because it took her 3 months to let me touch her, an she is still scared of a harsh voice or anyone she doesn't know.

Dogs are like children, but more furry. In a Farscape episode where Creighton is trying to get Scorpius' chip out of his brain, the doctor was tugging at various synapse to get Creighton to respond, keep it or get rid of it. When the memory of all his dogs was triggered, no hesitation, keep it.

Assume you are still in the running until you hear different. I'd email but don't expect a quick response.
You never know, I got a job one time when I'd already gotten a reject letter from the place. I sent a follow up thanking them for the opportunity anyway, and they called me and asked me what I was talking about. I'd saved the reject letter for some reason and so read it to the manager over the phone. Turns out somebody in HR had sent me the reject letter by mistake, they called back and offered me the job that day.

Oh, yes. It's safe to assume all do, especially on the federal level.
Since businesses have not just a stake on the health of their employees (as if they didn't already), but a cost liability in their overall health as opposed to just a healthy environment, they have a stake in the person's risks. I'm pretty sure that nobody would agree business has a right to have prospective employees take DNA tests to screen for genetic dispositions to illness.

This wasn't fear mongering. The FBI managed to get into 10 fereral facilities (over 450 employees in each building) with TWO components to bombs, the explosive and the parts to detonate it.
Then they manage to assemble the part after they were inside. These were real bombs, minus the last needed item to detonate.

I think the bigger, fancier, more expensive weddings are a fairly recent feature. When I look at the wedding photos of my parents, and those of my husband's parents - I see very very simple. and not costly, events.
Ours cost somewhere between three and four thousand dollars, including her dress (purchased), my tux (rented), the church fee, the minister's token, the caterer, the VFW hall, the rings, the DJ, the photographer (although not the prints), the cheap champagne, and $50 in dollar bills to buy beer from the vets.
Of course, as we are approaching 21 years rapidly, this was all in stone Yap money.

The best wedding I've recently been to was out on the eastern shore in Maryland, right by the water. It was so casual that people were getting beers from one of the kegs during the ceremony (which lasted maybe ten minutes.)
Everyone brought tents and sleeping bags and camped out (except for the couple and their families - there were a couple of houses onsite for them to stay in.)

Okay, but what security procedures did they bypass? Anything to detect explosives? Most types of detonators can be smuggled in quite easily.
Ex-ray, bag check etc. I wasn't arguing if the security was good, bad or indifferent. You said the news show was fear mongering, I said it was a valid report, with strong indications of a problem, not fear mongering.
That's what I was addressing. And I still say, it wasn't fear mongering. There is a large problem here that needs to be addressed.

Well, when we got married 26 years ago I paid for the whole thing. I got a tray of sandwiches for the rehersel dinner from a deli, the reception was cake, coffee and snacks in the church basement. I even set up the tables and chairs in the church basement myself early that morning, and a good friend took them down for me and cleaned up afterwards. All either set of parents did was show up.
We are not any more married now than if a lot of money had been spent by somebody.
I tell you who's more married than the wife and me. Any Catholic. Twenty-five minute ceremony vs. two hours for the last RC bash I attended. They are over FOUR TIMES more married than us!

If people realized how incompetent most security guards really are, they would be terrified.

I can vouch for that.
I worked as a security guard for a while when I was in college. I remember the first night on the job my supervisor showing me how to steal food out of the cafeteria while doing rounds and not get caught on the camera.
I also remember a fellow guard getting walked out in handcuffs cause they caught him stealing out of desks at night. When they searched his house they found a printing press and a bunch of computers he had stolen from the place. Another guard got caught using the mail room postage machines to send out items from his home business Ireal bright, that one).

I would bet it is very hard, especially if there is a union involved.
Over the years I am just amazed at how hard it is to fire people who truly deserve it.
Once, one of the union lab workers was caught downloading porn on his computer. All day, every day. He came in early to get his porn fix and we could not figure out how he got around the security. They fired him, but it went to arbitration and he got hired back, with back pay. We were stunned.

Interesting NYT article about Obama's reception in Russia.
No one was swooning as President Obama gave the graduation speech at the New Economic School in Moscow on Tuesday.
Some Obama aides said they were struck by the low-key reception here, especially when compared with the outpouring on some of his other foreign trips. Even Michelle Obama, who typically enjoys admiring coverage in the local news media when she travels, has not had her every move chronicled here.
In the background is the question of race....
Oh yeah, that's what it is. As if, that's all it is.
Also note that Obama, the great economic theorist, is addressing the New Economic School of Russia. I hope he's not discussing economics in too much depth.
After relations with the United States curdled in the final years of President George W. Bush’s tenure, many people here were relieved by Mr. Obama’s election.
Riiiight comrade. It had nothing to do with Putin, did it?
But this is really the money shot here:
“It is a jaded political culture that has had a very hard experience with a system that professed universal idealism while delivering unbearable suffering,” said Mr. Malinowski, now Washington advocacy director for Human Rights Watch. “Some degree of cynicism about high-minded ideals is a natural outcome of that.”

Last night I was suprised to see an ad on TV for something called "Orthomolecular medicine"... someting in the ad triggered my "quackery detector". So I looked it up, and yes, it's another dangerous quack alternative medicine scam.
It's proponents claim they can cure all diseases with megadoses of vitamines and minerals. This claim has never been proven in controlled scientific studies, and in some cases people have died from the vitamin overdoses. They prey on the usual victims suffering from terrible diseases and desperate for a cure: people with AIDS, cancer patients and the mentally ill. True to form, they claim there is a conspiracy by mainstream medicine (funded by the Big Drug Companies, natually) to smear Orthomolecular medicine.

Looks like Obama may need a stimulus plan for his poll numbers soon.
I wouldn't be surprised if he has his own pollsters doing polls right now. In fact, he is still fund raising. One of my friends signed up during the election to see what's what. He still gets emails asking for money. Here's one:
Friend --
Last year, millions of Americans came together for a great purpose.
Folks like you assembled a grassroots movement that shocked the political establishment and changed the course of our nation. When Washington insiders counted us out, we put it all on the line and changed our democracy from the bottom up. But that's not why we did it.
The pundits told us it was impossible -- that the donations working people could afford and the hours volunteers could give would never loosen the vise grip of big money and powerful special interests. We proved them wrong. But as important as that was, that's not why we did it.
Today, spiraling health care costs are pushing our families and businesses to the brink of ruin, while millions of Americans go without the care they desperately need. Fixing this broken system will be enormously difficult. But we can succeed. The chance to make fundamental change like this in people's daily lives -- that is why we did it.
The campaign to pass real health care reform in 2009 is the biggest test of our movement since the election. Once again, victory is far from certain. Our opposition will be fierce, and they have been down this road before. To prevail, we must once more build a coast-to-coast operation ready to knock on doors, deploy volunteers, get out the facts, and show the world how real change happens in America.
And just like before, I cannot do it without your support.
So I'm asking you to remember all that you gave over the last two years to get us here -- all the time, resources, and faith you invested as a down payment to earn us our place at this crossroads in history. All that you've done has led up to this -- and whether or not our country takes the next crucial step depends on what you do right now.
Please donate whatever you can afford to support the campaign for real health care reform in 2009.
It doesn't matter how much you can give, as long as you give what you can. Millions of families on the brink are counting on us to do just that. I know we can deliver.
Thank you, so much, for getting us this far. And thank you for standing up once again to take us the rest of the way.
Sincerely,
President Barack Obama

"The vicious double standard is pretty obvious. Only the tabloids, for example, ran the photos of a piss-drunk Chelsea Clinton, panties exposed, falling into her car outside London clubs a few years ago. If Chelsea had been the scion of Republican bigwigs, those tacky scenes would have been trumpeted from pillar to post in the U.S. as signals of parental failures or turmoil in clan Clinton. As a Democrat, I detest the partisan machinations that have become standard in Northeastern news management and that are detectable in editorial decisions at major metropolitan newspapers nationwide. It's why I, like a host of others, have shifted my news gathering to the Web."

The (D)pression (R)ecession we're in is driving 0bama's poll numbers down if you ask me.
One thing Clinton got absolutely right - it is the economy, stupid. And the lingering non-recovery, the never-ending loss of a half-million jobs every month, the collapse of real estate prices to a third of their former value (a major source of wealth for average Americans) and the loss of roughly half of 401k value, with no apparent end in sight, is wearing out 0's welcome.
He seems intent on keeping things dismal until October/November in order to help ram his health care package through Congress, but the ill will such machinations are creating will soon whittle away his support, without which such programs will begin to collapse.

From Power Line:
Here is Obama on the end of the Cold War [In his speech in Russia yesterday]:
"[W]ithin a few short years, the world as it was ceased to be. Make no mistake: this change did not come from any one nation alone. The Cold War reached a conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years, and because the people of Russia and Eastern Europe stood up and decided that its end would be peaceful."
In his interview with Obama after the speech, Major Garrett asked: "In your speech this morning, you said the Cold War reached its conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years. Mr. President, are the Russian sensitivities so fragile that you can't say the Cold War was won? The West won it? And it was led by a combination of Democratic and Republican American presidents?"
Obama responded:
"Well, listen, the -- I think that you just cut out Lech Walesa and the Poles. You just cut out Havel and the Czechs. There were a whole bunch of people throughout Eastern Europe who showed enormous courage.
And I think that it is very important in this part of the world to acknowledge the degree to which people struggled for their own freedom. I'm very proud of the traditions of Democratic and Republican presidents to lift the Iron Curtain.
But, you know, we don't have to diminish other people in order to recognize our role in that history."
Walesa himself has a somewhat different perspective. In his comments on the death of Ronald Reagan, Walesa wrote: "When talking about Ronald Reagan, I have to be personal. We in Poland took him so personally. Why? Because we owe him our liberty. This can't be said often enough by people who lived under oppression for half a century, until communism fell in 1989."
As Obama rewrites the relative recent past, it would be well to keep in mind Orwell's Ingsoc slogan holding that "He who controls the past controls the future."

I'm seeing this lately, maybe, at least that's as good as explanation as I any other I can come up with.
I have a number of very close friends, but one in particular, who is a screaming liberal, almost one of those self-loathing Liberal Jews. He was all smiles before the election. As the first six months of this administration has gone on, he won't even talk politics with me anymore. In general, he seems "mad" at everything.
Connection? I don't know, but the change has been monumental. I've known him for 12 years, I know his every mood, this is a person that would talk politics at the drop of a hat.

She does her own thing with seat-of-the-pants gusto. It's why she remains hugely popular with the Republican grass-roots base -- as I know from listening to talk radio. Callers coming fresh from her rallies are always heady with infectious enthusiasm.
Of course you'd never know that from reading hit jobs like Todd Purdum's sepulchral piece on Palin in the current Vanity Fair. Scurrying around Alaska with his notepad, Purdum still managed to find comically little to indict her with. Anyone with a gripe is given the floor; fans are shut out. This exercise in faux objectivity is exposed at key points such as Purdum's failure to identify the actual instigator of Palin's extravagant clothing bills (a crazed, credit-card-abusing stylist appointed by the McCain campaign) and his prissy characterization of Palin's performance at the vice-presidential debate as merely "adequate." Hey, wake up -- Palin cleaned Biden's clock! By the end, Biden was sighing and itching to split.

Hi Reine.
I'm spending more money on watering the house foundation than the yard right now. It's very very dry here and with temps around 98 (heat index 105-112) and the normal stiff sea breezes it feel like a blast furnace.
Yes, that's how it was here all thru June.
Every other day, I was having to run two hoses all day long on the plants, etc. Our grass even got crunchy underfoot - that never happens. Never. Usually it requires being mowed twice a week during the summer.
I hope some rain comes your way soon. I know we needed ours.

Obama's Top Five Health Care Lies
by: Shikha Dalmia
snip:
Lie One: No one will be compelled to buy coverage.
During the campaign, Obama insisted that he would not resort to an individual mandate to achieve universal coverage. In fact, he repeatedly ripped Hillary Clinton's plan for proposing one. "To force people to buy coverage," he insisted, "you've got to have a very harsh penalty." What will this penalty be, he demanded? "Are you going to garnish their wages?" he asked Hillary in one debate.
Yet now, Obama is behaving as if he said never a hostile word about the mandate. Earlier this month, in a letter to Sens. Max Baucus, D-Mont., and Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., he blithely declared that he was all for "making every American responsible for having health insurance coverage, and making employers share in the cost."
But just like Hillary, he is refusing to say precisely what he will do to those who want to forgo insurance. There is a name for such a health care approach: It is called TonySopranoCare.
Hint: We will all get to pay for, through garnished wages, something we don't want. oh joyous day, holy Obama!

DOCTOR'S CURE FOR CONSTIPATION
If you are bothered by occasional or frequent constipation, look in the mirror and repeat the following phrase three times in succession when symptoms occur:
"My personal and financial well being is totally in the hands of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Tim Geithner, Rahm Emmanual, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Al Gore"
If that doesn't scare the shit out of you, then you are probably destined to be backed up for the rest of your life.

When they are finally given a free pass on an identified approved target, such as a black conservative, or even worse, socially conservative woman, then it becomes a free-for-all gang-rape pile-on. All that pent-up frustrated hatred comes spewing out.

Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos was president of the Vatican department set up 20 years ago to seek a rapprochement with a hard-core traditionalist splinter group at the center of the Holocaust-denial scandal that erupted in January.
The pope has now put that department, known as Ecclesia Dei, under the control of the Vatican's doctrinal department and has named American Cardinal Joseph Levada as its new president.

I would have to agree with that. White hat conferences are good, but very few businesses see the value of this until *after* the fact.
At least for a company, after a big break-in at another business, you can go to your boss with the estimated losses for that company and say "$xxx to prevent $yyyyyyyy losses"
But it is even harder for the government, where the budgets and priorities are set by Congress. Now if some cybersecurity companies were big enough to hire lobbyists, it might be different.

re: #657 jill e
From Power Line:
Here is Obama on the end of the Cold War [In his speech in Russia yesterday]:
"[W]ithin a few short years, the world as it was ceased to be. Make no mistake: this change did not come from any one nation alone. The Cold War reached a conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years, and because the people of Russia and Eastern Europe stood up and decided that its end would be peaceful."
In his interview with Obama after the speech, Major Garrett asked: "In your speech this morning, you said the Cold War reached its conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years. Mr. President, are the Russian sensitivities so fragile that you can't say the Cold War was won? The West won it? And it was led by a combination of Democratic and Republican American presidents?"
Obama responded:
"Well, listen, the -- I think that you just cut out Lech Walesa and the Poles. You just cut out Havel and the Czechs. There were a whole bunch of people throughout Eastern Europe who showed enormous courage.
And I think that it is very important in this part of the world to acknowledge the degree to which people struggled for their own freedom. I'm very proud of the traditions of Democratic and Republican presidents to lift the Iron Curtain.
But, you know, we don't have to diminish other people in order to recognize our role in that history."
Walesa himself has a somewhat different perspective. In his comments on the death of Ronald Reagan, Walesa wrote: "When talking about Ronald Reagan, I have to be personal. We in Poland took him so personally. Why? Because we owe him our liberty. This can't be said often enough by people who lived under oppression for half a century, until communism fell in 1989."
As Obama rewrites the relative recent past, it would be well to keep in mind Orwell's Ingsoc slogan holding that "He who controls the past controls the future."
this is one of many reason o's popularity is going down. he is so devious in how
he is trying to rewrite history. he did this in his cairo speech, when he exalted islam, and falsely attributed so many great accomplishments to moslems.
o has never praised his own country for all the real contributions america has made to the world. and in this speech in moscow, o can't even commend america for it's role in bringing down the iron curtain. it is sinister and so obvious that he is putting our country last. and for what? to appeal to the enemy. what a small despicable person o is and looking worse everyday.
he couldn't even say that the united states worked w/ the polish people, the pope, thatcher, and walesa, (many more). o is such a fool. and the eastern europeans who heard his speech must be shaking their heads in disgust. they
love ronald reagan. and o couldn't even say his name.

ATTORNEY GENERAL TO CLASSIFY PRO-LIFE, PRO-GUN AMERICANS AS TERRORISTS
An amendment to a bill swiftly moving through the US Congress will allow the Obama Administration's Attorney General to classify Americans as domestic terrorists if they are pro-life, pro-gun and anti-big government.
Impeached Florida judge -- now a Democrat Party member of the House of Representatives -- Rep. Alcee Hastings introduced what some claim is a disturbing piece of legislation. Hasting's amendment calls for the Attorney General to have discretion over who is called a terrorist and what groups will be treated as terrorist groups.
"This is arguably one of the worst pieces of legislation to come down the pike in a long, long time. In essence Attorney General Eric Holder -- a Bill Clinton retread -- will have the discretion to label Americans terrorists. Hastings is a dangerous man and should be forced to resign from congress. He's also proposed the creation of "emergency camps" that are nothing more than prisons," warns political strategist Mike Baker.
"This amendment is part and parcel of the trend in this country to suppress dissent by patriots by calling them domestic terrorists," he added.

TX Gov. Rick Perry proves he can find someone crazier than Don McLeroy for the State Board of Education.

In a book published last year, Dunbar argued the country’s founding fathers created “an emphatically Christian government” and that government should be guided by a “biblical litmus test.” She endorses a belief system that requires “any person desiring to govern have a sincere knowledge and appreciation for the Word of God in order to rightly govern.”
However, in a document published in 1789, some guys said:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

Detainees, Even if Acquitted, Might Not Go Free
WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration said Tuesday it could continue to imprison non-U.S. citizens indefinitely even if they have been acquitted of terrorism charges by a U.S. military commission.
Jeh Johnson, the Defense Department's chief lawyer, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that releasing a detainee who has been tried and found not guilty was a policy decision that officials would make based on their estimate of whether the prisoner posed a future threat.
Like the Bush administration, the Obama administration argues that the legal basis for indefinite detention of aliens it considers dangerous is separate from war-crimes prosecutions. Officials say that the laws of war allow indefinite detention to prevent aliens from committing warlike acts in future, while prosecution by military commission aims to punish them for war crimes committed in the past.

Ahmadinejad is consolidating his power grab from the Mullahs by advancing an incredibly bizarre conspiracy theory involving Liz Cheney, George Soros, Muhammad Khatami, Mir Hussein Mousavi, Ayatollah Mehdi Karrubi and many other prominent Iranians from "all Iranian political groups and parties".
Tehran's bizarre narrative goes something like this: During the Bush administration, "the neocons" persuaded the president to "green light" efforts to topple the regime. Somehow, Washington enlisted the support of "world Freemasonry," which, acting through the so-called Bilderburg Group, managed to persuade Iran's then-President Muhammad Khatami to join secret efforts to "turn Iran into a secular state."Then, the tale goes, Soros and several US think tanks started sending their agents to Iran to recruit and train operatives for regime change. And the Bush administration created a special Iran center in Dubai, modeled on the Riga Center that Washington set up to subvert the Soviet Union in the 1930s. With Liz Cheney as the supposed coordinator, the plot supposedly soon won the support of several European countries.

The Cost of Controlling The Press
Barack Obama's White House is spending more than $80,000 a week to staff its old and new media offices. Add the price of speechwriters and the White House communications tab reaches nearly $100,000 a week, or nearly $5 million a year-and that is for salaries alone.
Based on the coverage the President has garnered so far, it is money well spent.
Accuracy In Media gathered the data from the White House's annual salary report to Congress, which was released last week. AIM identified a total of 66 staffers with some connection to Obama's messaging machine-press secretaries and assistants, communications directors, new media specialists, speechwriters, and the staff of the new Office of Public Engagement.
The latter group, which employs 13 people at a cost of $1,090,200 a year, organizes events like last week's online healthcare forum in Virginia to take the White House's message directly to the public. Valerie Jarrett, who earns the top White House rate of $172,200 a year as assistant to the president for public engagement, hosted the event.
The White House billed the healthcare discussion as a virtual town hall, but both the mainstream media and bloggers from the left and the right have maligned it as stagecraft.
"Obama's healthcare forum was like last year's CNN/YouTube debates-only instead of CNN producers hand-picking the video questions, here the White House eliminated the middleman!" complained Micah Sifry of techPresident.

re: #838 realwest
Good morning {vxbush! Yeah, but remember Putin (or as I prefer to call him "the power behind the throne") is KGB Old School and he's done any number of things (think, e.g., Georgia) to provoke us and unlike NORK, Russia does have cash now (no conventional military power worth talking about) and does have enough folks with the smarts to start a DoS attack on those US government agencies. And the attack on the US Secret Service had NOTHING to do with the protection of Obama and everything to do with counterfeiting US currency, I'd bet! The USSS is supposed to protect us from counterfeiters.
You catch Putin lecturing BHO and the "history" of the cold war?
President Obama on Putin: "I Thought It Was Important to Listen"
President Obama started his first ever meeting with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin today by asking "How did we get here?"As the two men sat in Putin’s yellow and white columned mansion, called Novo Ogaryovo, what followed was a nearly hour long discourse by Putin on the history of the US-Russian relationship since the Cold War, and ways he felt Russia had been slighted by the US, sources told ABC News.
"Nice version of history Mr. Putin, but the US didn't win The Cold War on the corpses of 10's of millions of it's own people."
Guess who is now in control in the New Cold War?

I was reading the Sac Bee at lunch yesterday (it was sitting in the Chick Fillet while I was waiting otherwise I would not have even bothered) and found out that the California Speaker of the House Karen Bass (LIBERAL) boycotted a high level meeting Swarchenegger called to try and resolve the budget issue. Yeah, how irresponsible is that? She said it was because he moved the goal post by coming up with a few suggestions OVER A MONTH AGO. She doesn't like the idea of the schools being able to hire non union workers, the idea that new hire pension benefits should be reduced, or the a statewide database be set up to prevent welfare fraud to the tune of 2 bil ANNUALLY! The data base would require you to show proof of citizenship to get benefits, which of course is a stupid idea to a liberal.

President Zero has pissed off the Russians already.
Family Night for Obamas Miffs Some in Moscow
MOSCOW — If Paris is for lovers, it looks like Moscow is for families.
Skip to next paragraphAfter passing on dinner with the French president to go on a date in the City of Light with his wife last month, President Obama took leave of his Russian hosts on Tuesday night to seclude himself in his Moscow hotel with his wife, Michelle, and their daughters.
The first family enjoyed a relaxed evening at the O2 Lounge, the super-chic, super-pricey rooftop club at the new Ritz-Carlton, although no doubt the Secret Service first cleared the place of most if not all of the swaggering tycoons and leggy models who flock to such Moscow venues.
They could not ask for a more scenic vista. The glass-enclosed O2 offers a panoramic view of Moscow, including Red Square and the Kremlin, all the more striking as the lingering summer sun sets after 10 p.m. The club is “a place to see and be seen,” as its Web site says — that is, unless you are a visiting president who after a day and a half of blinis, beluga and bilats (the diplo term for “bilateral meetings”) just wants to hang out with the clan.
The decision to brush off the Russians on one of his two nights here miffed some in the Moscow government who did not understand why he would not devote the scarce time to his hosts. Mr. Obama had dinner with President Dmitri A. Medvedev on Monday and lunch with him on Tuesday. But with the second dinner slot unavailable, he ended up having breakfast Tuesday with Prime Minister Vladimir V. Putin, a known night owl not given to American-style early morning business meals.
The Obamas, though, wanted some downtime before getting back on Air Force One to head to Italy for three days of meetings at the Group of 8 summit meeting and, from there, to Ghana for a one-day visit.
Mr. Obama has seemed tired here, several times fumbling the pronunciation of Mr. Medvedev’s name and Mr. Putin’s title. Beginning a speech here, he mistakenly said he first met his wife in school instead of at the law firm where they actually met. And he misstated his younger daughter’s age.

Jackson's Death Sparks Fierce Debate in Congress
Michael Jackson's death -- and controversial life -- has sparked a fierce debate in Congress, with one Democrat introducing a resolution to honor the King of Pop as a "humanitarian" and a Republican representative blasting America's obsession with a "lowlife."
Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas, is calling on Congress to recognize Jackson as a "global humanitarian and a noted leader in the fight against worldwide hunger and medical crises" and celebrate the King of Pop as "an accomplished contributor to the worlds of arts and entertainment, scientific advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, and global food security."
. . .
But while Jackson-Lee is pushing for lawmakers to honor Jackson, one New York congressman has blasted the King of Pop as a "pervert" and called on society to stop "glorifying" the late entertainer in a YouTube video posted Monday.
Rep. Peter King said Jackson -- whom he called a "lowlife" -- is being glorified in the days after his death while society ignores the efforts, of teachers, police officers, firefighters and veterans.
In the two-minute video, King claims the "day in and day out" coverage of Jackson's death is "too politically correct."
"Let's knock out the psychobabble," King said in the video taped outside an American Legion Hall on New York's Long Island. "He was a pervert, a child molester; he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country? I just think we're too politically correct."

Biden fails to draw crowd in Erie
Wattsburg, Pa. — Vice President Joe Biden visited a small town on the outskirts of Erie today to talk to rural folks about federal stimulus money that can be used to expand broadband access to the Internet for rural areas that typically have poor connections.
Apparently stimulus money and broadband are not all that interesting to the local folk here: Only around 100 or so people have showed up so far to hear Biden talk at noon at Seneca High School off Route 8 in Wattsburg.
The room looked so sparse that about 30 or so chairs were removed by volunteers to give the illusion of a full house.
The effect didn't exactly work.

Hamas Mutawa....
Hamas tries to detain woman walking with man
An attempt by Hamas police to detain a young woman walking with a man along the Gaza beach has raised alarms that the Islamic militant group is seeking to match its political control of the coastal territory with a strict enforcement of Islamic law.
...
Al-Ghoul, 26, said she was spending time with a group of friends — two women and three men — on the northern Gaza shore.Al-Ghoul is fairly exceptional in Gaza because she does not wear a Muslim headscarf. On that evening she wore jeans and a T-shirt — dress that is considered fairly provocative in Gaza's conservative society and which could have easily attracted the attention of the plain-clothed Hamas vice police who patrol the beaches.
Al-Ghoul swam, fully dressed, with a girlfriend, and then asked a male friend to walk her over to a nearby beach house rented by another couple she knew to shower and change.
Three policemen showed up and waited for al-Ghoul in the beach house garden, said an eyewitness who asked to remain anonymous because of security concerns. They took her identity card and demanded she accompany them to a nearby station — an order she refused.

I've wondered why Ahmadinejad and Khamenei allowed Mousavi and his wife to run the campaign they did and then so obviously steal the election. With a little finesse they could have easily avoided the mess they started but now I think it was designed with this outcome in mind. According to the article I linked 80 people have already been executed, many are under arrest, and others have fled into exile.

My wife and I taught our 4 year old about smores last night. When we asked if he liked it, he just started going "mmmmm . . . [giggle] . . mmmm . . . . [giggle] . . ." He was in speechless delight.
My mother made them for us when we were little but she called them "Angels on Horseback". I always like that name better than S'Mores.

Hate crime charges filed in alleged attack on Muslim woman, child
According to police statements, Eric Lee Garner, 24, threatened to harm the woman and her 6-month-old son as she waited in line at the Seattle Indian Health Board office on July 1.
Garner, police claim, began yelling at the woman for wearing a headscarf before displaying a sheathed fixed blade knife and threatening to cut her genitals.
"I'm going to cut you and your baby with this knife!" Garner allegedly said. Police say Garner continued to make anti-Muslim remarks throughout the tirade.
....
ollowing his arrest, prosecutors say Garner continued to make threatening statements."In this incident, the defendant yelled numerous inflammatory comments about Muslims at a Muslim woman who was a complete stranger," Deputy Prosecutor Val Richey said in court documents. "He told the arresting officers that he had a fully automatic AK-47 that he bought after 9/11 and that he was a white supremacist."

:
Apparently India and China are not going to limit their growth by agreeing to limit CO2 emissions, and as the largest producers of C02, if the US signs on alone, we are pretty much guaranteed economic disaster with zippo effect on the environment.
This from Powerline
"The implications for Waxman-Markey, a version of which will soon be taken up by the Senate, are huge. If India and China--the world's biggest emitter of CO2--decline to limit their carbon emissions, it is impossible to claim that Waxman-Markey will have any discernible impact on the Earth's climate, even if you buy the anthropogenic global warming hoax hook, line and sinker. The only impact the bill could have would be to hobble America's economy and pave the way for China and India to replace the U.S. as the economic superpowers of the 21st century.
The great advantage India and China have over the U.S. is that their elites have not gone suicidal. Those nations have no intention of sacrificing their economic well-being on the global warming altar. Undoubtedly the leading scientists in both countries have advised their governments that AGW is pseudo-science fueled by power-hungry politicians and charlatans like Al Gore, who has gotten rich by pretending to believe that burning gasoline will destroy the Earth, while relaxing aboard a gasoline-burning houseboat the length of a football field.
At this point, anyone who votes for tax-and-trade can no longer pretend that the bill has anything to do with climate. Rather, it is a vote that no manufacturing jobs should be created in the U.S., and that in the future, all such employment will belong to Chinese and Indian workers."
This from me:
But, then again, isn't that Obama's plan?

They are setting up the opposition for arrest and probably execution. I've wondered why Ahmadinejad and Khamenei allowed Mousavi and his wife to run the campaign they did and then so obviously steal the election. With a little finesse they could have easily avoided the mess they started but now I think it was designed with this outcome in mind. According to the article I linked 80 people have already been executed, many are under arrest, and others have fled into exile.
Then that settles it: Obama won't even get his meeting. The wave of show-trials will keep him from calling for it.

Reporter's notebook: Boiling emotions in China
URUMQI, China (CNN) -- Han Chinese protesters were out in the streets, not far from our hotel near the People's Square, on Tuesday. A lot of the Han Chinese own shops in the area and there are some hospitals in the vicinity.
When we saw the protesters marching in the streets, we simply followed them. It was, in a way, a little dicey, because obviously there was raw emotion among them. There is also raw emotion on the part of the Uyghurs. So, we had to keep in mind safety and security. In fact, while we were shooting pictures for our report, some of the protesters turned to us and told us, "stop shooting, stop shooting."
We saw hundreds of Han Chinese holding sticks and pipes basically calling for severe punishment of the Uyghurs, who they say committed serious crimes during Sunday's deadly rioting.
The Han Chinese protesters also say they are out to defend themselves if they have to. I saw policemen and local officials trying to talk to them and convince the crowd to disperse. We haven't heard about any serious confrontations between the Han Chinese protesters and Uyghurs, but we heard that the police dispersed protesters in some places using tear gas

Did U.S. okay Israel construction of 2,500 settlement homes?
Hopefully, we did OK those houses. They are needed and should be built.

You should go to a crab house and get steamed crabs. Go with someone who can show you how to pick them. It's a real Maryland experience.

Off the food topic:
WASHINGTON - Former Bush White House official Karl Rove was questioned by House Judiciary Committee lawyers Tuesday on any role he may have played in politically motivated firings of U.S. attorneys.
Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., confirmed Rove's closed-door appearance through a committee spokesman who was not authorized to be quoted by name.
The committee has been seeking answers on who created the list of federal prosecutors who would lose their jobs. Conyers has suspected the trail led to the White House but couldn't prove it. Former President George W. Bush asserted executive privilege for Rove and former White House lawyer Harriet Miers and refused to let them testify.
How many prosecutors did Clinton and now Obama fire? Hmmmmm. What a waste of time. Course might keep those crooks from effing up the economy for a minute.

MaJ ... I learned to pick crabs while still in a highchair LOL ... in my family if you didn't learn to pick crabs, shrimp and crawfish early ... you did not eat because no one would pick them for you ... and I did not pick them for my son ...
Maryland Steamed Crabs are so delish! ... I do eat them also when I go to Baltimore ... we usually go to all-you-can-eat places and believe me they are glad when we leave! ... Maryland crabs are a different experience than New Orleans crab boils ... but I love them both ...
Now I am so hungry for crabs I cannot stand it! ...

So what if it was political? Can they investigate something that's not even illegal if true? Or more to the point, how long does Bush Derangement Syndrome last? Move on already people, the fashionable LLL elite are concentrating on Sarah now. Letterman for instance had a bunch of new jokes last night.
