I don't like seafood. Blech. Fish, clams, lobsters...double blech. Never have liked them. Ah, well.

Rocks. All I see is rocks. I would like these rocks in my garden.

#10 - you want rocks? I live in the middle of an old grazing field. We have tons of rocks. In fact, enough to make our own little garden paths and junk. And we still have a bunch leftover. At least we'll never have to buy garden decoration supplies...

#10
Look to where rocks meet water, bivalves.

cbinflux, that may be true, but I've never been a big fan of that, either. About the only seafood/fish I can handle is reeeally good fried/battered cod. There's a place around where I live that actually makes it reeeally good. Other than that...

...though I do like fishing on occasion, even if I'm rather miserable at it.

Bush Accepts Bolton's Resignation

I am now upset.

Hey TFK, you got any spare F*ck B*sh bumperstickers?

After the Cheney years, the Powell years, and the Rice years, we finally come to the Bush years, and it looks like the Cavalry is not going to arrive after all.

They were supposed to charge the enemy, but they're riding off into the sunset. At two o'clock in the afternoon. I have little faith that there is any fight this President will not walk away from.

After pledging his undying support for Rumsfeld--shitcanned. After declaring that he would go to the wall for Bolton--shitcanned. After saying that he would not withdraw from Iraq? One wonders. One really effing wonders.

President Bush has failed to learn the only real lesson to be drawn from this election--that appeasing the Democrats gains a Republican nothing, while it costs him the base, and the whole thing comes tumbling down. As the Republican party goes, so goes the stand against totalitarianism.

I am emphatically *not* of the "nuke 'em" crowd. But if we fail to act while the problem is conventional, what choice will there be later? We are squandering our opportunity to prevent a global bloodbath, because we cannot stomach a few well-placed and hard-fought battles.

When the mushroom cloud comes, we will have earned it.

Losing Bolton was a blunder, and the History books will reflect this. As a triumph. In Arabic.

I always did fairly well debating them and asking them to back up their conjectures. You will find they usually touch upon some surface coincidences, but their comparisons fall apart upon analysis. The Professors and teachers (among others)take a couple of conincidences and build an entire case from them.

I note that Isaac Aasimov has an appropriate quote regarding conincidences; "People are entirely too disbelieving of coincidence. They are far too ready to dismiss it and to build arcane structures of extremely rickety substance in order to avoid it. I, on the other hand,see coincidence everywhere as an inevitable consequence of the laws of probability, according to which having no unusual coincidence is far more unusual than any coincidence could possibly be."

[Link: www.timesonline.co.uk...]

Ploome hineni,

I must register my exception to your comment in post number seventy-six:

what is the purpose of the IAEA besides being a place to send Mr ELBaradei his check?

I want you to know of all the good that the IAEA has done, and continues to do, under the stewardship of the wise Mr. el-Baradei. He plays an integral role in holding back the destructive forces which imperil our world, and which threaten to reverse the progress made by humanity.
There are many thankless jobs at the United Nations, and I know that none of them pay very well. In the case of Mr. el-Baradei, my own country has made as material a contribution toward righting both of those wrongs as his organization has toward the progress of my people toward a just, noble, and dare I say, Holy goal.
For the time being, I will thank you to refrain from making such insensitive remarks.

Did it ever occur to you that you may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer?

No. Plenty of other people will tell me, so I need not concern myself with it. Thanks for helping out on that score.

Few people were cheerleading for the President and the Republicans in general as optimistically as I was. Don't get me wrong, I am crystal clear where my vote needs to stay in order to not be complicit in losing this war.

But after watching this administration, which started out so well, so clear, and with such purpose, degenerate into a paralyzed Washington jellyfish, I have lost faith in the people at the top.

I take orders and carry them out with gusto. But also with my fingers crossed, where I used to have certainty. I do not appreciate this feeling that the leadership of my team may no longer be very interested in winning. I do not know what to expect from this administration. And that is half of the problem right there. Years ago, I posted here about what a shame it was, the sad thing which had become of Dr. Rice. She was one of the first to fall to Washington disease. Remember when it was a refreshing breath of fresh air to hear her belt out the truth? That was then--this is now. When was the last time you heard her say something that didn't sound tired and safely devoid of any real point.

Alberto Gonzales makes me cringe every time I hear him. Likable guy, but he's just such a weasel. You never hear straight answers out of him. Boehner and Frist (not administration, I know) played nice for so long and with such timidity that we wound up getting nearly nothing done.

Now that disease has the whole administration second-guessing itself. The President should have told the Democrats that if they want Rumsfeld, they can pry the SECDEF from Bush's cold, dead hands. That if they want Bolton, they can 'Bring it on!' We Republicans have managed to surrender on all of the important issues EXCEPT FOR ONE in the vain hopes of currying favor with Democrats. That if we just stop being such Republicans, they will like us more.

Of course, this does not work, and we are going to get tossed around the 110th Congress like a skinny prison snitch in a thong.

I appreciate the built-in gridlock for arresting dangerous movements in the Washington tar pits, but how on earth could we still be staring down the barrel of Amnesty? Thanks to the House for holding off the onslaught, but with all three branches of the government more or less in our sphere, how could we have walked away with so little?

And get used to the past perfect tense--we will not see another bicameral majority for a long time. Certainly not in conjunction with the White House. We had the Hat Trick--but played the Shell Game.

Here's a question for you sharp knives out there: What issue do you predict that the President will not fold on? Hint: It's a trick question.

As I read somewhere online (NRO, Steyn? Not sure), the President needs to snap out of it. He *is* still the President, and needs to stand up to these Democrats now more than ever. We ALREADY LOST THE GODDAMNED ELECTIONS, so he can stop playing nice--because it won't work any better for 2008 than it did for 2006. But at least we could win a couple of important battles while we still have THE PRESIDENCY. I expect him to engage the damned Democrats, not fall in meekly behind them in their march to hand the country over to the the foreign and domestic communists and their Islamic wedge.

But what do we get?

"Hap-py Traa-aa-aails to youu-uu-uu..."

By the way...
I have always debated whether I should give the Republicans (and I am one) a blast when I am displeased. Before the elections, I stayed in cheerleader mode; argue for, rally the base, shore up the wobbly, etc...
Since we lost the elctions, I haven't said much.
Now I feel that the most productive thing I can do for the Republican Party is to fire broadsides where they need to go. We are about to make the same mistakes which cost us 2006. Well, not me. I'll be contrarian IN THE PRIMARIES, and vote solid Republican in the general elections. But while I do that, I'll be sure backhand whoever needs it. And right now, the virtual hand goes to 1600 Pennsylvania.

Doctors are required to "First, do no harm".

Presidents ought to get in there and mix it up.

I'm off to work for a few hours (different office than this one, where there's actually something goiong on. But I'll check back in. So please don't feel that I'm ignoring anybody.

How is everyone?

Hey realwest!
How are you, bro? Did the cold awake you so early?
I'm doing fine, thanks, how about you?

hovering around 15 F here...normal for nebraska these days

Jewels
Brrr...

#119 MigueldowninMexico = Hola Miguel! I'm glad you're doing fine. In a round about way the cold woke me. We have a central Air Conditioning and Heating system, where you put your thermostat on where you want the temperature to be and, according to how hot or cold it is, the heater or air conditioner will kick on; when it senses that the place is as warm or cool as you've set on the termostat, it turns off.
Unfortunately, as is true of most housing in the South, we have virtually no insulation so when the temp inside gets to say 68 degrees (which is where we set the thermostat) the heat goes off. 5-7 minutes later, because its so freakin' COLD outside, the inside temp drops to like 50 degree and the heating system kicks it'self on again.
Oh, and our Heating and Air Conditioning Sytem is nearly silent when on, but makes a whole lotta noise when it comes on, so for the last several hours this racket starts up, then it gets warmer, heat turns off, and 5-7 minutes later, the racket heat turns on again.

#120 Jewels (AKA Julian) - Hi Jewels! 15 is half again as cold as it is down here, but if you can believe the computer weather station, NYC is exactly ONE degree warmer than we are! WTF? I moved almost 700 miles due south and it's only one degree warmer down here?

"thus dislocate the axis of confidence on the metaissue of self-serving unconfessed interests under the semantics of epyphonical gramemas."
(The last lines were quoted directly from gnome Chomsky).

What scares me the most is that, like the 5 minutes of The Passion that I saw in Latin and Aramaic (neither of which I've studied), I kinda followed that.

#153 MigueldowninMexico "crazy doped kosaks are stealing comments to sabotage communications between the RWVC agents and "thus dislocate the axis of confidence on the metaissue of self-serving unconfessed interests under the semantics of epyphonical gramemas."

Hey, either you've been up much longer than I or you'
ve had some coffee to write that; or copy and paste it from something you wrote a while back! LOL! It does, however, really sorta read like Chomsky!

I hope you are right about the guy-thing. That would be nice!

M & R would be me and a fellow medic. As for all the rest of the craziness- initially I had blamed it on parlimentary government and electing parties rather than individuals.
OTH, we're fast approaching the same level of craziness here.

Thanks for the extra hugs, but I do have some prescription morphine and took it just before I started to post, and it just kicked in, so I'm going back to bed for another 40 winks or so (or until the heater wakes me up again). I really didn't want to take the morphine, but I was serious about the 24 straight days of significant pain and I just couldn't take it anymore. First visit I've had to a dentist that I'm actually looking forward to! (according to the dentist and my oncologist, the anti-cancer drugs I'm on, although they seem to be working well, knock on wood, also cause a truly alarming rate of tooth decay!). This ain't for a filling; it's either root canal or extraction again. Sometimes you can't win for losing, ya know?
Anyway, I hope y'all have a great early morning and if I have any luck (and am coherent enough to post) I'll see ya in a couple of hours.
Goodnight,er morning or whatever, everyone!

Thanks for the fruitcup littleoldlady!

Your genetic daily deference to rational animals around, and the maternal instinct to feed them properly are commendable in an evolutionary scale in which the filos Sapiens Sapiens is nurtured by the needed Ribonucleic Acids in order to be able to procreate and multiply, thus allowing your species to fend off extinction. A commendable act, from a eugenesic viewpoint.

Naked fascism at San Francisco State:

The Associated Students board at SFSU has voted to condemn the campus
Republicans for stomping on Hezbollah and Hamas terrorist flags at an
anti-terrorism rally in Malcolm X plaza.

"After that, the College Republican-organized rally dissolved into a heated shouting match between the group and a mix of students, including some Muslim students, eventually resulting in formal complaints to student representatives.

‘They were voicing their concerns that this event was even allowed. They were offended,” said Kimberly Castillo, board member and chair of University Affairs, the committee that drafted the resolution. “We felt it our duty to respond.”

Administrators have been criticized for even allowing the rally to take place."

“The actions on the part of the College Republicans amount to no more than hateful religious intolerance, and constitutes an attempt to defy policies outlined and defined by San Francisco State University’s values,” the resolution says. “Members… pre-mediated the stomping of the flags knowing it would offend some people and possibly incite violence.”

ASi board members Joicy Serrano and Faith Cushenberry have been appointed to the Student Organization Hearing Panel, which will convene when the OSPLD investigation concludes.

Have these sold-out dhimmis ever heard of the First Amendment? Of course they have, they have no problem at all with American and Israeli flags routinely being burned during lefty terror advocacy events on campus. Does the Bush administration have the balls to initiate a civil rights investigation over this blatant attack on the First Amendment's free speech and establishment of religion clauses? It is to laugh.

Can't find anything yet on Brigitte Gabriel event in Ann Arbor last night. Which leads me to believe it went without disruption. She'll be in Pennsylvania this Thursday.

UNIVERSITY PARK -- Author and commentator Brigitte Gabriel is scheduled to deliver a free, public talk on life in the Middle East and growth in terrorist movements.

Gabriel, a Lebanese Christian, grew up in Lebanon in the 1970s and '80s. She wrote the book "Because They Hate," and has appeared as a commentator on U.S. news channels.

Her talk here is slated for 8 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday in Room 101 of Thomas Building.

Its sponsors are Penn State Hillel, the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, and Penn State Students for Israel.

The Antikythera Mechanism

What is it? It was found at the bottom of the sea aboard an ancient Greek ship. Its seeming complexity has prompted decades of study, although many of its functions remained unknown. Recent X-rays of the device have now confirmed the nature of the Antikythera mechanism, and discovered several surprising functions. The Antikythera mechanism has been discovered to be a mechanical computer of an accuracy thought impossible in 80 BC, when the ship that carried it sunk. Such sophisticated technology was not thought to be developed by humanity for another 1,000 years. Its wheels and gears create a portable orrery of the sky that predicted star and planet locations as well as lunar and solar eclipses. The Antikythera mechanism, shown above, is 33 centimeters high and similar in size to a large book.

Proof that Al Gore may have invented the internet, but muslims invented computers. /

Thanks for the update. I didn't make it there last night.

An e-mail signed with Gabriel's name was posted on the thecoversativevoice.com. The e-mail requests support and protection from protesters, who it alleges have sent e-mails to "Arab students" asking them to "give Gabriel a proper welcome."

Shimaa Abdelfadeel, co-chair of the pro-Palestinian group Students Allied for Freedom and Equality and political chair of the Muslim Students' Association, said she had not heard of or seen such an e-mail.

two sons, ages 14 and 11

Oh, I'm REALLY sorry about that. :-(

I have 5 sons. When their father broke the news to us and left, the four older ones 18-25 took it reasonably "well" -- were very supportive of me although extremely angry with him, especially because he tricked them and used them to cover his exit.

We divorced and he quickly remarried a very young woman. The four older sons have maintained a distant but civil relationship with him. But they have no respect for him.

But the youngest, who was 16 going on 17 when his father left (now just turned 20), has never "gotten over it" or "forgiven" him, or whatever. He WON'T see him, and is only the least possible civil -- like when I insist he send a thank-you e-mail for a birthday check, that kind of thing.

I have found MY coping with THEIR relationship with their father very difficult. It feels like a betrayal. Feels like. And I get sad or grumpy when I know they're going to see him. I hate when they socialize with her.

I'm always grateful that it happened when they were older. That's made it easier for me. And I guess for them, too.

I will pray for you and your sons, Goddess. The three of you stay strong together for each other.

The Rumsfeld Memo (And Mine)

...There is something else the Iraq Study Group is unlikely to address. It is the loss of fear by our enemies. The United States of America was once feared and respected around the world. Once, few would have dared kidnap an American because of certain retribution. The loss of fear started with Jimmy Carter, who allowed followers of Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini to hold American hostages for 444 days. It was no coincidence that Khomeini released the hostages just 20 minutes after Ronald Reagan's inaugural address. Khomeini must have believed reports that Reagan was a "cowboy" and might flatten Iran with nuclear bombs.

It's been the same with Israel. The late Prime Minister Menachem Begin believed in retaliation against anyone who attacked Israel. On Dec. 3, the Israeli cabinet voted to continue the policy of restraint in the Gaza Strip (there is no restraint by Israel's enemies). This, despite the ongoing Qassam rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza. So Israelis are to die for the sake of the government's public relations? It's gotten so bad - and Israel is perceived as so weak - that the Israelis are appealing to convicted terrorist Marwan Barghouti (now serving five life sentences) to help broker a cease-fire. This is like asking "comedian" Michael Richards for advice on how to combat racist language.

Instead of retaliation, we get weakness from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert: "We must act responsibly and wisely, while considering all aspects of the matter." Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni adds, the "situation is sensitive and we must act wisely and with serious consideration." That kind of rhetoric is unlikely to strike fear in the hearts of terrorists whose only "serious consideration" is to seriously destroy Israel and the United States.

Has everyone forgotten what the world looked like when America (and Israel) was feared? Have the foreign policy castrati taken over? Does no one sing baritone anymore? The terrorists in Iraq, and among us, use fear as a primary tactic. We form study groups and issue statements saying we must "act wisely." Iraq's dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vows to obliterate Israel and U.S. diplomats recommend we talk to him.

Whatever happened to "if you touch us, it will be the last thing you touch"? Ah, but that was before political correctness and sensitivity training. Now, the only thing the thugs have to fear is fear itself. They certainly don't fear us. ...

Let me sign it, too.

I currently personally know of at least 4 other couples going throught his right now. As a man, it is enough to make me embarrassed to be a guy. And in every case where I know the people involved, I've gottten the "it just happened" line of crap from the cheating ex-husband. Oh please, they actively set out looking for something on the side, and in the cases I am aware of, this was not the first time either. I think these guys forgot the "...and forsake all others" part of their wedding vows, among other things.

I was 12 when he was thrown out by my mother
He did not want to leave, it wasn't him, it was her. Matter of fact even though he knew she was cheating on him he stayed in a separate room for 2 years because he refused to leave me.

BTW as soon as he was gone, within a year and a half, she had thrown me out too. I look too much like him, I walk too much like him, I AM too much like him...Sick bitch. But I digress, LOL...

The age you are when this happens makes all the difference in your perspective and ability to assimilate it. There is no way to understand many things that go on in adult relationships untill you are well into your 20's at least, and for some people, not even then.

I can tell you this much, I felt like it was my fault, I think all kids do at that age.

The worst part from the perspective of me at 12 was the dual loyalties thing. When you are with one you feel you are betraying the other and when you are with the other you feel like you are betraying the one. And then sometimes they go about using you as a pawn in their petty emotional battles. So then it becomes easier and more expedient to just "pick a side" and cut one off to end the constant feeling of duplicity.

By the way, I had my 6 month check up yesterday. Got a clear bill of health overall, except for acquiring a torn right rotator cuff somehow in the last 6 months. The right shoulder was bothering me a bit since August and got sore everytime I played golf. So the doctor did a litlle probing and squeezing of the shoulder joint with his fingers. I don't wnat to say it hurt, but if you heard a loud scream where ever you live yesterdaya bout 2:45 pm, that was me. So I'm sitting here with an ice pack on my right shoulder as I write this. Ibuprofen and ice for the next 6 months.

In the meanwhile I'm waiting for the Cubs GM to call. I figure they can't seem to sign enough old injured pitchers.

Sorry to hear about all this sorrow. Divorce as fairly ravaged sections of my own family. My parents get divorced, but not until us siblings were all over 25. I myself am twice divorced.

Divorce rates are extremely high in Canada--at least among those who have not simply given up on marriage entirely.

Both sets of grandparents remained married for over 50 years, until they died. I'm sure they had some problems, but overall they seemed to live happy, fulfilling lives.

We've moved so far from God in my lifetime. I want to spend the rest of my life doing what little things I can to help move us back in the right direction.

There is hope, I think. My generation spent most of its youth "partying". Last night I chanced to get a ride home from one of my young, newly-married employees (there was a snowstorm and he has a 4x4 SUV). His lovely wife picked him up at our office, and during the course of the conversation I learned they were church-goers and that she was proud of the fact she sang in the choir. This may seem utterly unremarkable to an American, but to a society like Canada's--far more damaged by post-modern nihilistic leftism--this is something of a rarity, or at least it was for a long time. I believe it is far more likely that marriages will survive and flourish when there is a mutual spiritual core.

I will remember both your families in my prayers today.

May God comfort you.

Security sources tell us that Israeli forces operating in Tulkarm arrested Anan Kamal Afif Yaish, a 19 year-old senior operative in Tulkarm's Tanzim infrastructure. Yaish was arrested in light of information indicating that he was heading a terror cell planning a suicide bombing against Israeli civilians in the immediate future. The information came from Amar Sami Muhammad Suliman, an 18 year-old designated as the bomber in the intended attack.

How hard up do you have to be that "senior" members in your organization are actual seniors in high school.

{Roger} good to see you and you always in my prayers ~ that too will pass!

You know, what I'm about to say is contray to my religion (RC) and "conventional wisdom" and certainly a lot of women will be very offended by my saying this, but I really believe...

It's ONE thing for a man to have an affair -- if it's a serious emotional thing, sometimes those things DO "just happen."

It's ONE thing for a man to have a "mid life crisis" and feel he needs a young woman admiring and loving him.

It's ONE thing for a man just to be a rat and chase around because he can.

But it's a totally different thing, and a very much more WRONG thing, to break up a family and abandon a long-time wife who's put in 25-30 years, especially when she's financially dependent.

When people say that gay marriage will undermine the institution of marriage, I do not agree.

No-fault divorce already destroyed the institution of marriage.

I have legal training and have done a lot of research on this, as well as having had my own personal experience. And it's my conclusion that nearly ALL of our law -- property, estate, taxation, banking, medical related, you name it -- is very protective of the spousal relationship and protective of the dependent spouse.

Except family law.

Why do Americans, Europeans, Israelis, keep electing to high office these apparently acluistic people who seem to suffer the Neville Chamberlain syndrome, the wilful delusion that the leaders of the Jihadist world, like us, want peace? Why does our leadership seem to assume that that everyone wants peace? That because we want peace, America, Israel, Europe, therefore Abbas and Ahmadinejad must also want peace? It is an immutable law of history that wars begin when one country or alliance wants war, conquest, and the countries in their cross-hairs fail and refuse to acknowledge that no matter how badly they want peace, the dogs of war will find them.

Entering into any sort of neo-Munich Agreement with Iran and Fatah will only ensure that the US and Israel will give Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Qaeda, and their allies, a time of peace, a window of opportunity, to "seize Sudetenland," a time in which to arm and re-arm and prepare to wage the war they want, when they want it, where they want it, on their terms. It runs a high risk of ensuring that within a few years, or a few months, there is no more Israel to worry about, and that Iran will control the Jihadi Crescent that runs from Pakistan through Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine, where Israel used to be, and will have deployed nuclear weapons, perhaps with some or much of Europe within range.

America, Europe, Israel, want peace, and we are busy trying to convince ourselves that the Muslims of Iran and Syria and the Palestinian peoples, at least the activist Muslims who matter, do too. But they don't. They want war, Jihad, conquest, empire, supremacy. This is no secret. It doesn't require a Masters degree in diplomacy, or years of service in the State Department, to see. It isn't rocket science. One needs only to take their word for it. They aren't at all bashful or shy about saying so, we need only assume they mean what they say. Death to Israel. Death to the West. Death to America.
