Subject: How would YOU feel?
How would you (Muslims) feel if 10% of the Infidel world tried our
very best to terrorize you and kill you? What if this were not only allowed
in our holy book, but a required religious duty?
Which Infidels would you trust if you knew the surest way for Infidels to get to heaven was to kill Muslims?
Which group of Infidels would you trust if male and female, young and old,
sick and healthy, even handicapped and pregnant Infidel women, tried and frequently succeeded killing as many Muslims as possible worldwide, whenever and wherever?
Mohammed Atta, the 9/11 leader of the 1st plane to hit the WTC was before 9/11, law-abiding, respectful, polite, and well-mannered.
If model citizens can turn on Infidels like the 19 hijackers did, please tell us which Muslims we can trust?
How would you feel if you were given the following choice:
Convert from Islam and live, or remain in Islam and die?
How would you feel if Infidels conquered Muslim lands through force, violence and war?
What if Infidels believed that "once Infidel land, always Infidel land" and we
tried our best through force and violence to get these lands back?
How would you feel if it were our religious duty to make the whole world Infidels, through peaceful means if possible, violent means if necessary?
How would you show love and kindness to Infidels, if from the moment we were born, we were taught to hate and despise Muslims, even going so far as to call Muslims monkeys and apes?
/Infidels mean you no harm, but for a millennium and a half, you have been terrorizing, raping, torturing and killing Infidels because we choose to believe differently than you do.
We reserve the right to self defense and self preservation.

Does that mean that LGF now "pushes" content to the browser, Charles? I remember in earlier tech discussions, you mentioned you didn't want to do that -- force browser page refreshes automatically (as CNN and I think Drudge do).
How "invasive" are these updates? It's not a full page refresh, but some portion of it refreshes.
For example, if I have CNN open on a browser window as the toppermost thing on my screen, and then I "put my computer to sleep" (by choosing "sleep" from the Apple drop-down menu), which means turns the display off and spins down the hard drive -- the computer will constantly wake itself up because CNN is pushing content to the browser application. If I close CNN, the problem goes away.
If I leave LGF as the top window on my screen, will my computer now "wake up" from sleep, unwittingly?

It's been interesting being here in DC during the inauguration prep. It is totally overboard, way beyond anything in 2000 or 2004. The Feds shut down a chunk of the city last Sunday just to practice all the marches. (I know, because I got caught in traffic and had to watch part of it). Yesterday, they pre-emptively salted roads north of the White House, apparently just in case it snows in the next 4 days. The salt was so thick it actually blows into your mouth and you have to wash it out. Well over $100 million is being spent on the whole thing. Come Inauguration, they are shutting down all the major highways and roads in from northern Virginia, which is kinda ironic since that was the portion of Virginia that swung the state for Obama. The entire place is taking on a Roman triumphal march sort of vibe for Obama's coronation, so much so that the line from Gladiator sums it up: "He enters Rome as a conquering hero...but what has he conquered?"

Egypt and Hamas were negotiating a proposal for a 10-day cease-fire
Egyptian and Palestinian officials said they hoped to seal Hamas' agreement on a temporary halt in fighting, which would be presented to Israel for approval. Key uncertainties remained for a longer-term deal under which Gaza's borders would be open and Israeli troops would withdraw. Israel, meanwhile, prepared to dispatch two envoys - one to Egypt to present the Jerusalem government's stance, and one to Washington to discuss a possible American role in security on the porous border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.

I was watching NPR's Mara Eliason on Fox yesterday, and they were commenting on Obama's Pre-Inauguration Administration Legislative Failure: Tax Credits for Businesses that Create Jobs. They showed clips of Obama campaigning on this idea all over (massive applause, audience goes wild); and then, Schumer said that it had not one single legislator in support. He checked his back to be sure.
Ms Eliason, eyes popping all the way, still maintained that this was the wonderful way of the O. She said that the "Obama camp" must be given credit for greatness (!) because once they realized that it was a big loser, they backed off. (Of course, not before the election was over.)

Does that mean that LGF now "pushes" content to the browser, Charles? I remember in earlier tech discussions, you mentioned you didn't want to do that -- force browser page refreshes automatically (as CNN and I think Drudge do).
How "invasive" are these updates? It's not a full page refresh, but some portion of it refreshes.
For example, if I have CNN open on a browser window as the toppermost thing on my screen, and then I "put my computer to sleep" (by choosing "sleep" from the Apple drop-down menu), which means turns the display off and spins down the hard drive -- the computer will constantly wake itself up because CNN is pushing content to the browser application. If I close CNN, the problem goes away.
If I leave LGF as the top window on my screen, will my computer now "wake up" from sleep, unwittingly?
Charles is using standard "web 2.0 / AJAX" html/xml features to update specific page elements without refreshing the page.
Drudgereport, for example, tells your browser to automatically refresh the page at an interval given when the page first loads. That is "old school" and eats up bandwidth.
Charles uses the latest browser technology so that elements update without having to hit refresh (or set a refresh interval like Drudge and CNN) so as to sip bandwidth and give you a better experience.
BTW - here is the "refresh" code at CNN.
So you shouldn't have the "wake up" problem like CNN does.

re: #72 Kenneth
Egypt and Hamas were negotiating a proposal for a 10-day cease-fire
Egyptian and Palestinian officials said they hoped to seal Hamas' agreement on a temporary halt in fighting, which would be presented to Israel for approval. Key uncertainties remained for a longer-term deal under which Gaza's borders would be open and Israeli troops would withdraw. Israel, meanwhile, prepared to dispatch two envoys - one to Egypt to present the Jerusalem government's stance, and one to Washington to discuss a possible American role in security on the porous border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
Good intentions, bad plan. That would do nothing but amplify the "Greater and Lesser Satan" rant.

Iranians trying to play cute - and run the blockade into Gaza, but the Egyptians aren't showing them any love either.
On Tuesday, the boat docked in Port Said, Egypt, but the Egyptians refused to allow it to unload its cargo and at midnight Wednesday the boat tried sailing into Gaza.A Navy Sa'ar 4.5-class missile ship intercepted the Iranian boat and transmitted a clear message on Channel 16 - the international communication line for ships - that it would not allow the boat to dock in Gaza.
On Wednesday morning, when it was 30 miles off the Gaza coast, the Iranian boat again tried to move toward the Strip, and the Navy again intercepted it. It then returned to el-Arish, Egypt, and two Egyptian boats prevented it from docking there.
Since that time, the boat has been sitting 30 miles off the coast of Gaza and is being closely tracked by the Israeli navy. Israel and the Egyptians have been coordinating all activity regarding the Iranian boat.
They're refusing to allow the Iranian ship to dock and/ or offload there either.

Never had watched '24' until this year. Taped the first 4 hours and am completely hooked. I will now have to rent the previous seasons.
I rented it two years ago and watched one or two episodes a night until I got caught up. During that time I developed a rash on my chest and hands (sensitive skin sucks) and hubby swears it was because I got so emotionally caught up in 24. I envy you, getting to see it for the first time!

Despite the market bombing today, sentiment is starting to turn just a little bit for improvements in the future:
Stock Market Bears Worldwide Recede on Stimulus Plan, Rate Cuts
Jan. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Investors from New York to Sao Paulo grew less pessimistic about stocks over the next six months on speculation a U.S. stimulus plan and the lowest interest rates on record will revive the global economy, a survey of Bloomberg users showed.Fewer respondents in the Bloomberg Professional Global Confidence Survey are predicting declines for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, Brazil’s Bovespa, the U.K.’s FTSE 100, the CAC 40 in France, Germany’s DAX and Spain’s IBEX 35, the poll of 2,390 users taken Jan. 5 to Jan. 9 showed. Only in Mexico did investors turn bullish and forecast gains, while pessimism increased in Japan, Switzerland and Italy.
I guess they did not hear Obama's "We have everything to fear" speech of last week.
The credit markets appear to still be easing:
Government efforts to reduce borrowing costs and lend unprecedented amounts of cash directly to banks have also helped boost sentiment toward stocks as credit markets thaw.
The London interbank offered rate, or Libor, that banks say they charge each other for three-month loans in dollars slid to 1.09 percent yesterday, the lowest level since June 2003, according to British Bankers’ Association data. The difference between the rate the U.S. Treasury and banks pay for three-month loans, the so-called TED spread, dropped below 100 basis points for the first time in five months.
Part of the deal is that Paulson and Bernanke scared the daylights out of people with their comments in October and since then, and it will take a while for the investing public to recover from that fear.

Yes. This company was using Delphi, but now wants a C++ guy. I talked to a recruiter, and thought I might be a good fit (I'd been using C++Builder), but now I'm not so sure.
The recruiter tells me they've gone through a couple of programmers, and I remember I applied there back in September (when I still had money). Going through several programmers (singular position) like that waves some red flags to me.

I actually enjoy the change of seasons, although once you hit late January things start to drag. I do appreciate it being light out until around 5 pm now and staying lighter a minute or so per day. So long as the wind isn't kicking up I don't mind being outside even in subzero weather. I dress appropriately. Played some hockey on my friend's lake a couple weeks ago, possibly again this weekend. We drilled a hole and tried to fish but nothing was biting. Ice was already four inches thick back then.
Got some skates on my boy but he hasn't gotten it down yet. A work in progress. So after awhile he lays in a little sled and we take him for a ride on the ice. He loves it.

I'll try and avoid a climate change argument, but will point out a Alberta clipper out of the arctic is not climate change, it's a weather pattern. take last year as a example, coolest in 8 years but still in the top 10 warmest since 1880.
If we get a heat wave in May, that not necessarily global warming either, it's the trend over many years to watch.

Your friend has his own lake?
He lives on one. But this time of year it may as well be his since nobody's ever out there. He's up in a town where a lot of residents are seasonal.
Ton of people on the lake in the spring and summer, but desolate in the winter. Only about 18 miles from me but at higher elevation so it's always about 10 degrees cooler up there.
If there's a ton of snow you can't do much, but if it's not so bad we can usually clear up enough space for a small hockey rink. Just watch out for those frozen pucks at high speed.

Here is a blast from the (recent) past-
Earth Warming Past Point Of No Return
20 January, 2006
The IndependentThe world has already passed the point of no return for climate change, and civilisation as we know it is now unlikely to survive, according to James Lovelock, the scientist and green guru who conceived the idea of Gaia - the Earth which keeps itself fit for life.
In a profoundly pessimistic new assessment, published in today's Independent, Professor Lovelock suggests that efforts to counter global warming cannot succeed, and that, in effect, it is already too late.
The world and human society face disaster to a worse extent, and on a faster timescale, than almost anybody realises, he believes. He writes: " Before this century is over, billions of us will die, and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable."
Maybe I lead a "sheltered" life, but I can't imagine going outdoors in the Arctic right now and breeding.

Last I heard, they were talking about lowering the withholding by an amount equal to either $500 or $1000 (depending on whether you're single or married), spread over the entire year.
In other words, you'd actually see about $83 (or $41) a month extra in your paychecks.

I am so glad that we have pulled out the 1930's "solution" guide to economics. If there are enough Americans sentimental for the Great Depression then we will have one.

Comcast to Broadcast All-Obama Channel
Has your life been empty since November 4 when the Dish Network ceased broadcasting all Obama all the time on Channel 73? Not to worry. Comcast is about to fulfill all the spiritual yearnings of you Barack Obama acolytes by broadcasting all Obama all the time leading into the inauguration so you won't have a minute of your day or night alone without The One as reported by Michael Calderone at Politico:
Do you need Obama coverage 24 hours a day? In several markets, Comcast cable is launching an all-Obama, On Demand channel. (In D.C., it's channel 963).
Leading up to Inauguration, the channel will offer a number of Obama-related programs, according to a release: "Barack Obama’s most famous speeches to date, from his keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 through his election night victory speech in Grant Park; Barack Obama biography; Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic National Convention speech; a tour of the White House; and the history of Air Force One."

Yep.
Strongest overall hitter I've ever seen myself was Carl Yastremski (I never saw Teddy Ballgame play).
I used to go to Old Comiskey when Yaz was in his late 30's and early 40's and watch him in batting practice. He would hit these line drives that were still going up when they hit the upper deck. I was up there one time and he was shattering chairs with his line drives.
I saw Ron Kittle hit them farther, but not harder than Yaz.

re: #468 Iron Fist
So it's pretty obvious that whatever hocus pocus they try to use to hide it, they're going to effectively be printing money to cover the bailouts. How high do you think inflation is likely to go? I don't know enough to even make a guess at it, but it sounds like when all is said and done the bailouts will be about equivilent to a year's GDP.
Unreal amounts of money.
15% to 20%.
Take the amount of money pumped into the system and multiply it by about a factor of 10 and that will be the impact. Plus the velocity of money (how fast a dollar changes hands in a year) will likely speed up as the economy turns around and that will make the inflation even worse.
Part of the problem is that the Keynesians have taken back over. Bernanke is swinging the Fed back to being run under a Keynesian view.
FWIW, Keynesians don't see interest rates as being particularly important.

The Israeli Long View In Gaza
Considering Israel v. Hamas Phase II – With Egypt, Enable Fatah in Gaza
Just as the demise of al-Qaeda in Iraq required popular rejection and revolt by Iraqis, the ultimate demise of Hamas as a viable threat to Israel likewise requires a Palestinian Muslim victor, not a Jewish Israeli victor. With this - some Palestinian alternative - Hamas can not be defeated as a movement, and therefore Israeli war with it would be a continuous cycle of a growing terrorist movement; Israeli debilitating strikes; terrorist re-supply, resurgence and attacks; and more Israeli strikes. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Interesting analysis

I agree. I think whatever Bush has done on the past 7+ years has shown Al Q. that they can't do something on a grand scale, but I've been saying that they can do many things at the same time on a small scale
I'm thinking they will do something on a grand scale as it would have to top 9/11. They keep getting bigger each time.
The airports are pretty sewed up. People can cross the borders but not much more than people.
That leaves the ports. The ships are inspected when they get in port and the manifest is checked prior. But what would happen if a ship detonated just entering NYC harbor? Or San Fran? Or Alaskas harbor? Seattle?

More manipulation of climate data?
Statistical analysis shows NASA published climate data may be hand manipulated
Amazing when you apply science (in this case statistics) to validate "scientific" data.
This should upset every taxpayer and warrant a full investigation and audit of NASA's climatology numbers and methods.
I love the smell of good statistical analyses in the afternoon. Smells like victory.
In this case, the specific methods I'm not familiar with. But the probabilities are off enough to make this a pretty open and shut case.

Why Israel Is Likely Preparing Future Fatah Battlespace Against Hamas in Gaza
...what Israel is actually doing is preparing (softening, if you will) the future battlespace for a rejuvenated Fatah to ultimately rise and challenge Hamas for control of Gaza. Operation Cast Lead is not the operation that will 'defeat Hamas' or even stop the rocket fire into Israel. In fact, the latter cannot be achieved until the former is realized.

More...
So if international political protest prevents the sustained Israeli operations necessary to significantly de-fang Hamas in Gaza, yet the world would not bat an eye at Fatah fighting to achieve the same ends, the logical strategic conclusion is to assist them in doing just that. Considering the longer view of things, this is exactly what Israel seems quite prepared to do.

NJ kids with Nazi-inspired names removed from home
HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, N.J.—Three New Jersey siblings whose names have Nazi connotations have been placed in the custody of the state, police said. The children, ranging in age from 3 to under 1, were removed from their home Friday. They drew attention last month when a supermarket bakery refused to put the name of the oldest -- Adolf Hitler Campbell -- on a birthday cake.State workers didn't tell police why the children were taken, police Sgt. John Harris said. A family court hearing is scheduled for Thursday.

Some possibilities:
Something like the Mumbai attacks in a US city.
Multiple simultaneous attacks, as someone suggested. This could be on some store chain, or other target.
Bio or chem attack. Easier to hide than radioactive material. I've figured out a way to distribute inhalable diseases without catching attention, but it is something I'd rather not put in a public location.
Or since AQ doesn't like the 0ne, an attack at the inauguration would be possible, if planned early - they could have hidden the bomb years ago.
For harbors, NY or LA; believe it or not the ports of LA and Long Beach carry a huge amount of cargo. Blowing up the port would kill China's economy, and wouldn't be so great for ours; blowing up something with radiological, bio, or chemical, would get a lot of people in the area.

Jeff Jacoby: The lone voice of reason at the Boston Globe.
Why should a journalist's race matter?
"Obama, Like His Predecessors, Will Face a Press Corps Lacking in Minorities," laments the Washington Post on the front page of Monday's Style section. Media reporter Howard Kurtz describes "the relative paucity of black journalists at the White House" as a "cause for concern," and he isn't the only one who thinks so. Even President Bush is quoted as saying that "there need to be more minorities in the press corps."
But why should it matter to anyone but a racist whether a White House reporter is black or white? Well, says Michael Fletcher, a colleague of Kurtz's, "you would want to have black journalists there to bring a different racial sensibility." By the same token, more evangelical journalists would presumably bring a different religious sensibility to the White House, more journalists from the Deep South would bring a different regional sensibility, and more Republican journalists would bring a different political sensibility. Do you know of any news organizations that are fretting over the "relative paucity" of evangelicals, Southerners, or Republicans on their payrolls? Me neither.

It wouldn't take much to get a few people to strap on bomb belts. Happens every day in some parts of the world.
And in a country this big, acquiring the needed explosives wouldn't be that hard. After all, they were able to do it in London, which is a virtual police state compared to most of the US.

No, because there is the possibility that the problem is the result of converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit. At least, that's one explanation put forth by the NASA folks. But I'm honestly not buying it, based on other analyses I've seen where folks are trying to reproduce the graphs created by NASA.
I agree, but at the same time it would be nice to hit James Hansen (who heads up the folks who's data are suspect) with some of his own rhetoric. He has been an alarmist for some time and a big proponent of the Hockey Stick which has not materialized. He is more showman that scientist, and the fact that none of his predictions have come to pass ought to get people to question why his budget keeps going up. And they have been caught before manipulating numbers, but after the last time they said the data are clean.

15% to 20%.
Take the amount of money pumped into the system and multiply it by about a factor of 10 and that will be the impact. Plus the velocity of money (how fast a dollar changes hands in a year) will likely speed up as the economy turns around and that will make the inflation even worse.
Part of the problem is that the Keynesians have taken back over. Bernanke is swinging the Fed back to being run under a Keynesian view.
FWIW, Keynesians don't see interest rates as being particularly important.

germany has laws regarding the names you give kids. the name chosen is supposed to reflect your nationality/ethnicity
Whether a name is acceptable or not is the decision of the registry office in the place of birth of the child. If you want to give your child an unusual German name, you should consult the competent registry office prior to the birth in order to find out whether the name will be accepted without any problems.The legal regulations regarding first names are often more generous if one or both parents come from abroad. Naming rules prevelant in the respective country of origin can be, but do not necessarily have to be taken into consideration.

Who needs children when a puppy can provide a similar emotional experience? After playing with their pets, dog owners experience a burst in a hormone linked to infant care, not to mention romantic love and friendship, new research finds.Nicknamed the "cuddle chemical" and the "love drug", oxytocin has been found to dampen stress, combat depression, and breed trust in humans.

Apple shares halted; financial stocks mixed
LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Apple Inc. shares were halted Wednesday evening as the technology company said that Chief Executive Steve Jobs will take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.
Apple shares were halted at 4:30 pm ET. The last trade was at $85.30, unchanged from the regular session.
Jobs, in a statement, said that during the past week he's learned that his health-related issues "are more complex than I originally thought."
Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook will be responsible for day to day operations
Best wishes Steve, but I don't think this is going to end well for you.

It's been interesting being here in DC during the inauguration prep. It is totally overboard, way beyond anything in 2000 or 2004. The Feds shut down a chunk of the city last Sunday just to practice all the marches. (I know, because I got caught in traffic and had to watch part of it). Yesterday, they pre-emptively salted roads north of the White House, apparently just in case it snows in the next 4 days. The salt was so thick it actually blows into your mouth and you have to wash it out. Well over $100 million is being spent on the whole thing. Come Inauguration, they are shutting down all the major highways and roads in from northern Virginia, which is kinda ironic since that was the portion of Virginia that swung the state for Obama. The entire place is taking on a Roman triumphal march sort of vibe for Obama's coronation, so much so that the line from Gladiator sums it up: "He enters Rome as a conquering hero...but what has he conquered?"

Much of the Islamic world did have advances in the sciences over Western Europe, not due to any superiority of Islam, but because they conquered and subjugated the peoples of Persia and Eastern Rome (also known as Byzantine Greeks).
In the West, though there were brief revivals of ancient culture and learning, the barbarians effectively destroyed the links with ancient Western Rome. It was not until the people of Europe began on a wide scale to discover and recover the ancient arts that modern arts and science began to flourish in the West.
Both the scientists of Europe and of Islam stand upon the same roots—ancient Rome, ancient Greece, ancient Persia. But despite the similarity of roots, the fruit is extraordinarily different. Europe has grown and flowered and expanded its influence far beyond any historical precedent. The peasants of Europe now live in luxury that rivals ancient emperors and kings. The Islamic world has taken the same roots and managed to mimic and parrot some of the ancient arts. But on the whole, there is no encouragement to explore science or to invent anything new in the Islamic world. How many westerners flock to Islamic schools to learn the latest advances in science? The Middle East has most of the worlds oil, so when a country decides to open up a new oil field, whom do they call for advice? Middle Easterners? No. Americans and Europeans.
Islam suffers from an intellectual and developmental disability. It is anti-creative and destructive. It only flowers and reaches higher when its people begin to follow Islam in a shallow minimalistic way. Islam does not grow and expand because of anything positive it has to offer—it grows and expands like a blight overtaking the crops in a farmer's field.

Day 983 of My Captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now ...

NYTimes Magazine quote (they are getting desperate):
"...This past year has been catastrophic for the New York Times. Advertising dropped off a cliff. The stock sank by 60 percent, and by fall, the paper had been rated a junk investment, announced plans to mortgage its new building, slashed dividends, and, as of last week, was printing ads on the front page. So dire had the situation become, observers began to entertain thoughts about whether the enterprise might dissolve entirely—Michael Hirschorn just published a piece in The Atlantic imagining an end date of (gulp) May. As this bad news crashed down, the jackals of Times hatred—right-wing ideologues and new-media hecklers alike—ate it up, finding confirmation of what they'd said all along: that the paper was a dinosaur, incapable of change, maddeningly assured as it sank beneath the weight of its own false authority."

Memories of death camps and fascism have kept parents from christening their kids Adolf for quite some time. But one unlucky youngster acquired the name in 1949. He was the son of William Patrick Hitler—the dictator’s nephew, who moved to America in the 1930s to fight against his uncle. It isn’t clear why William preserved the name, but his four sons (including Alexander Adolf Hitler, now 57) made a pact to never have children in an effort to stunt der Fuehrer’s family tree at its branches.

I'm not sure if that is good news or bad news. I don't care for the idea of state authorities rushing in and "confiscating" kids without even giving a reason, merely saying "see ya in court".
It seems a short step from rationalizing taking kids from a neo-nazi family to taking kids from a family the state "feels" has "bad" political beliefs. I suspect I have worded this badly, but hope not.
Perfect.

He was born in Mexico in 1920, was he a US citizen when WW-II broke out? I'd be surprised if he was allowed to take citizenship during the war if he wouldn't serve and if he was drafted and left to avoid service he would have been barred from reentry.

re: #751 Outrider
creation of wealth beats redistribution every time.
Redistribution merely shifts around the existing wealth, though some is lost in the process so you end up with a little less.
Creation of wealth, building factories, machines, inventions and such to enable more wealth to be produced, more crops harvested with less environmental damage, more metals mined without poisoning the soil, harnessing better and cleaner fuels all end up with a net increase in total wealth.
Chopping profits out too much too soon is like harvesting a crop before it is mature—you get a smaller inferior harvest. Indiscriminate taxing and redistribution ends up hurting everyone.

Statistical analysis shows NASA published climate data may be hand manipulated
Amazing when you apply science (in this case statistics) to validate "scientific" data.
This should upset every taxpayer and warrant a full investigation and audit of NASA's climatology numbers and methods.
Let me get this straight. Someone runs a computer program on the distribution of numbers in a data set and decides that they do meet some math model, so NASA is conspiring to fake the data ?
If I flip a coin 10 times, I should get 5 heads and 5 tails, but even if I get 10 heads, it's statistically a 50-50 chance that I'll get another head or tail. I doubt if NASA would even bother to reply, but perhaps we can spent a few million to see if NASA scientests are part of a conspiracy.

I've seen the exact same thing here in Georgia and in Florida. I see the need for child protective services. But, like any other agency, they should have to go before a judge and get the warrant.

re: #835 Spare O'Lake
At some point a name is obviously a form of child abuse if there is a good chance that the name will cause the child to be harmed or to harm others.
For example, should you be allowed to name your child the "N" word?
If the state issues you a birth certificate, they must be "blessing" the name.

re: #731 Outrider
I'm not sure if that is good news or bad news. I don't care for the idea of state authorities rushing in and "confiscating" kids without even giving a reason, merely saying "see ya in court".
It seems a short step from rationalizing taking kids from a neo-nazi family to taking kids from a family the state "feels" has "bad" political beliefs. I suspect I have worded this badly, but hope not.
No, you worded it well. I find the naming of those kids despicable and just plain stupid but unless there were other aggravating factors, the State needs to stay away.
I used to smoke when my kids were young......we're not far from a time when that may be considered abusive and justification for the State to take away kids.
The State can be very dangerous - whichever political persuasion controls it - and it needs to be watched carefully. And for the watching to be effective, it requires an armed citizenry.

Lizards, if social services EVER knocks on your door, tell them to leave. DO NOT let them in the house. Ask them for a warrant, which they MUST HAVE as an agent of the state. If they say they will go get the police, tell them to do so. Then ready a tape recorder. When they get back with the police, which they will, the officer will demand entrance. Ask HIM if he has a warrant, and when he says no, ask him to leave, and take the social worker with him. If they force their way in, they are screwed. They may only enter your home without permission under exigent circumstances, or, they lose their immunity, and can be sued personally and professionally.

Response to Original message
89. Unexamined Cult of Personality
ComradesDuring the election, Comrade Obama distanced himself from his progressive collectivist roots and denied that he was a true socialist.
Instead his handlers built a cult of personality and his managed speeches were only platitudes where we heard what we wanted to hear. It should have been an indicator when the only time Comrade Obama spoke truthfully about the reactionary forces in fascist Amerikkka was in front of a secret meeting with billionaires and industrialists on "Nob Hill".
The cadres in the media sold themselves to this flashy cult of personality and failed to examine why a committed progressive socialist denied his mentors - revolutionary heroes like Comrades Frank Davis; Bill Ayers; and Bernadine Dohrn - and his roots as a enemy of the plutocrats in order to curry favor with class enemies like the Wall Street blood suckers Jim Johnson and Franklin Raines.
Consider that Comrade Obama rejected public financing and his handlers deliberately set up his web site to allow fictitious donations. Who bought the election? Who bought our HOPE so they could derail CHANGE and make sure it was MORE OF THE SAME.
We have been sold a Stalin where we believed in a Lenin, comrades.
International financiers like Soros are manipulating the progressive popular front to ensure that the working classes are kept in slavery to the plutocrats. Obama is a class traitor.

Camille Paglia on Katie Couric:
And let me take this opportunity to say that of all the innumerable print and broadcast journalists who have interviewed me in the U.S. and abroad since I arrived on the scene nearly 20 years ago, Katie Couric was definitively the stupidest. As a guest on NBC's "Today" show during my 1992 book tour, I was astounded by Couric's small, humorless, agenda-ridden mind, still registered in that pinched, tinny monotone that makes me rush across the room to change stations whenever her banal mini-editorials blare out at 5 p.m. on the CBS radio network. And of course I would never spoil my dinner by tuning into Couric's TV evening news show. That sallow, wizened, drum-tight, cosmetic mummification look is not an appetite enhancer outside of Manhattan or L.A. There's many a moose in Alaska with greater charm and pizazz.

re: #840 avanti
Let me get this straight. Someone runs a computer program on the distribution of numbers in a data set and decides that they do meet some math model, so NASA is conspiring to fake the data ?
If I flip a coin 10 times, I should get 5 heads and 5 tails, but even if I get 10 heads, it's statistically a 50-50 chance that I'll get another head or tail. I doubt if NASA would even bother to reply, but perhaps we can spent a few million to see if NASA scientests are part of a conspiracy.
There are plenty of area's where climate change needs more research, but I personally don't see a government plot here.
The famous of "Hockey Stick" of Global Warming is a out and out fraud. Both the model and the data where altered to get the hockey stick.
The Hockey Stick scam that heightened global warming hysteria
The hockey stick fiasco was unmasked by a basic scientific test known as reproducible results. Other scientists use the same data and procedures to try and reproduce the original findings. Steve McIntyre and Ross McKitrick (M&M) attempted, but failed to reproduce the MBH98 findings. A debate ensued with claims M&M were wrong or not qualified climate experts. They replied that Mann had refused to disclose all the codes he used to achieve the results, but even without them the major problem was a misuse of data and statistical techniques. In effect the hockey stick was meaningless.

They are not saying it's a conspiracy by a governmental agency, just the conspiracy of one person. It's simple really, all numbers in nature aren't simple numbers. Knowing this you can scan a database of readings and find true randomness. If the readings are recorded correctly, in a scientific database they should be, this will show up in an analysis. If the numbers are too neat, that will show up as well. What the analysis is showing is that the numbers are too neat and tidy.

Actually, I am only having a little fun about cats. You do know that cats are Democrats, they take your stuff & then despise you anyway.
One of my two cats was playing with one of my grandkids at Christmas. Grandson was playing with our olde "Mr. Potatohead". (screw you, spellchecker, I'm no Dan Quayle!).
When the grandkids left for the evening, the cat stole every part except for the head, and piled them up neatly on the spare bed, and slept with the pieces.
And that's the "evil" cat! He's good buddies with the grandkids, never scratched them once.
OT: my wife tried to buy "spare parts" for Mr. Potatohead, and discovered the design has changed, and the parts won't fit the original models.

More generally, don't talk to a cop any more than absolutly necessary without a lawyer present. That part when they say "Anything you say can and will be used against you...", they mean that.
That is what the tape recorder is for. When the cop and the worker knock, you answer the door, make sure they see you turn it on, and ask for the warrant. Any cop with a single working brain cell will understand and go away, taking the worker with them.

re: #840 avanti
Let me get this straight. Someone runs a computer program on the distribution of numbers in a data set and decides that they do meet some math model, so NASA is conspiring to fake the data ?
If I flip a coin 10 times, I should get 5 heads and 5 tails, but even if I get 10 heads, it's statistically a 50-50 chance that I'll get another head or tail. I doubt if NASA would even bother to reply, but perhaps we can spent a few million to see if NASA scientests are part of a conspiracy.
There are plenty of area's where climate change needs more research, but I personally don't see a government plot here.
What they have done is run a statistical test that tries to determine if the distribution of certain digits in the numerical data is truly random (as it should be, if the data are all genuine). If some digits are under or over-represented in the presented data, that suggests there may have been some manual editing.
It's not proof that the GISS data are falsified, and it is not being claimed as such. But it is a very good reason to be subjecting the GISS data to more stringent oversight.
FWIW, Steve McIntyre at Climate Audit doesn't see a smoking gun here either, although he has plenty of evidence of plain bad data in Hansen's work.

re: #836 Outrider
There seems to have been an awful lot of people hurt through the services of Child Protective Services in various names throughout the country. Because it is "for the kids" we seem to be willing to overlook certain rights and procedures.
But that's the thing. CPS everywhere, no matter the name is walking a fine line between pulling apart families on suspicions and letting abuse go on too long. I have a friend in the area that worked for the local CPS and making the wrong choice was a constant fear. To take it to the extremes on the one side you have the potential for a huge lawsuit that will damage your ability to do your job and protect children from abuse and on the other you fail to protect children from abuse and potentially have dead children. You lose and kids are hurt either way if you make the wrong choice. On top of that, you are making these choices in the context of the conditions in your department, where you likely have much too big a caseload, possible political pressure from the latest screwup that made the news (even if it wasn't your department that did it), and the mix of employees in your department, which run the gamut from enlightened guardian angel to lazy slob collecting a paycheck who can't be fired due to union rules.
Frankly, I'm surprised we don't have more failures in this endeavor. (On second thought no I'm not, the vast majority of people in these CPS services do the right thing and we only hear about the screwups. Problem is, we keep hearing about them no matter how good the service is.)

They are not saying it's a conspiracy by a governmental agency, just the conspiracy of one person. It's simple really, all numbers in nature aren't simple numbers. Knowing this you can scan a database of readings and find true randomness. If the readings are recorded correctly, in a scientific database they should be, this will show up in an analysis. If the numbers are too neat, that will show up as well. What the analysis is showing is that the numbers are too neat and tidy.

This started with a bunch of RPG and AK fire from left to right. And then the Merkava responded with about a dozen rounds and what looked like a LAHAT missile, followed by every ammo can they had.
After that the WP rounds started coming in (looks like mortars).

My grandson has the same name as a notorious serial killer, but it also happens to be a family name (we are not related to the serial killer with the same name). The difference is that my grandson was NOT named after the serial killer, but this couple did knowingly name their innocent child after a mass murderer because they admire his genocidal acts.

But, really, these protesters and other appeasers of Hamas and Islamic thugs are really to blame for the deaths here, and I mean on both sides: Israeli and Palestinian. So, they can spare me their crocodile tears and empty rhetoric.
Hamas guns down Palestinians who sing at weddings, without warning! This is who these people support. With friends like that!

You know, watching the gaza-cam, what's really remarkable is just how normal most of the place is. It scans around, and 95% of what you see is just city lights twinkling, just like they would in your town.

Israel should refuse to make access to Israeli territory a part of any cease fire. Gaza has a border with Egypt and Gaza has a seaport. Israel can insist on inspecting to keep weapons out but when not imposing a blockade during combat does not need to prevent Gazans from trading without going through Israel. If they can not make it a success like Hong Kong, Singapore or Gibraltar were when cut off from their hinterlands then that is their problem.

The IDF appear to care more about the civilians in Gaza than the HAMASSholes do. The savages do everything they can to bring down the wrath of Israeli counter fire directly on civilian areas, and the IDF & IAF do everything they possibly can to keep civilians out of harm's way while they go in and clean the place up.
HAMAS? They CALL civilians to an area AFTER the Israelis have specifically warned them off.

What is interesting is how they got the conviction. It turns out that he wasn't even a British citizen by birth, he was born in the United States but hadn't known it. So he was really a US citizen when he traveled to Germany and renounced his British citizenship and the US was then a neutral. He claimed that he broadcast as a German citizen and did not owe England his allegiance. His ancestry was Anglo-Irish and his Father had sided with the English during the Irish rebellion of 1916-1922. What got him was that he had used a British passport to travel from England to Germany. Since he had taken advantage of the protection of The Crown to go to Germany his subsequent allegiance to the enemy constituted treason.

Adobe
Spokesman.....Phil Hartman
Spokesman: These days, everyone's talking about the Hyundai, and the Yugo. Both nice cars, if you've got $3,000 or $4,000 to throw around. But, for those of us whose name doesn't happen to be Rockefeller, finally there's some good news - a car with a sticker price of $179. That's right, $179. The name of the car?
Adobe. The sassy new Mexican import that's made out of clay. German engineering and Mexican know-how helped create the first car to break the $200 barrier. At this price, you might not expect more than reliable transportation - but, brother, you get it! Extra features: like the custom contour seats, or the beverage-gripping dash. And the money you save isn't exactly small change!
Jingle:
"Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
The little car that's made out of clay!
We're gonna save you some money
that you can spend in some other way!
Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
Hey, hey, we're Adobe!
Adobe!"
[ show Adobe driver get into a fender-bender. She casually steps out of the vehicle and uses her hands to mold her bumper back into its proper shape, in under six minutes! ]
Spokesman: Adobe. You can buy a cheaper car. But I wouldn't recommend it!
Announcer: Not approved for street use in some states. No warranty either expressed or implied. All sales final.

WAKEUP! You have a unique opportunity to see for yourself what really is going on in Gaza. If you have any honest conscience at all, you would pay careful attention and learn something. War is never pretty but what we are seeing in front of us is not what I would call the destruction of war. These are just calculated strikes against ones enemy, taking civilians (whose innocence can be argued) into consideration so that few get hurt.

re: #207 Outrider
had a '64 1/2 years back that someone had slapped a 289 in. Couldn't bring it back to USA because it had no certificate.
Then had a '79 Mustang. Dumped the 4 cyl. that was in it and put in a 302 from a wrecked truck. Not a real good marriage.
Sounds like me. My first car was a 74 Mustang II fastback with the crappy V-6. Pulled the six and dropped in a 289 that I pulled from a wrecked (but not that badly) 67 Mustang hardtop. I wish I was smarter then, because I should have fixed the '67 (rear end damage mostly. Parted it out and made what I spent on acquiring it) and canned the Mustang II (sigh...), but I wanted to build something different. The 289 had all the Cobra goodies including a deep-sump oil pan, mild street cam, headers, the whole enchilada. Never did get the Mustang II to run worth a damn, since it would always overheat no matter what i tried, but it was mighty quick when it did run! Traded it in on a loaded 1980 Dodge Mirada, but I always wonder what happened to my old project car...

Parted it out and made what I spent on acquiring it) and canned the Mustang II (sigh...), but I wanted to build something different. The 289 had all the Cobra goodies including a deep-sump oil pan, mild street cam, headers, the whole enchilada. Never did get the Mustang II to run worth a damn, since it would always overheat no matter what i tried, but it was mighty quick when it did run! Traded it in on a loaded 1980 Dodge Mirada, but I always wonder what happened to my old project car...

I have no doubt that both GW or Obama would kill Osama in a New York minute if they could find the cave rat. Hopefully, with more resources after a draw down in Iraq, we'll get the bastard. BTW, the success of surge makes it easier for Obama to do the draw down before you ask.

Yeah, went the electric fan route on the '74, but i probably should have gone the three-core radiator route and a larger e-fan. But i just got, fed up with sinking money into it and getting little return on my time and $$$ plus I needed something to take the ladies out in on the weekend. The company let me take my vehicle home on the weekend, but a big ol' white stripped-down Chevy van with parts racks in the back was not conducive to making romance. Plus drinking and driving a company vehicle, even a single beer, even no accident, was a terminal offense (good thing the bossman never caught me...).

Shame, I've always like Sir Richard. Thought of him as thinking man's Heston.
I love him too. His voice, particularly, was mesmerizing. I went looking just now and found some comments at Amazon.com - the reviews are mixed, but this one is apt:
An adaptation of the Christopher Marlowe masterpiece, Doctor Faustus allows Richard Burton (who also co-directed) to sink his teeth into one of the great theater roles, with loyal wife Elizabeth Taylor along for the ride. Now, there were a few good movies and many follies born of the epic marriage of Burton and Taylor; Faustus is one of their most curious progeny. Alas, Burton's performance is hardly scaled back from a big, bellowing stage turn, while elsewhere the film fails to work up the most rudimentary cinematic life. And Liz? She keeps appearing, wordlessly, as a sexed-up dream temptation for poor Faustus, and finally as Helen of Troy, of "Is this the face that launched a thousand ships?" fame. The only real fun to be had here is wondering whether Burton saw the project as a metaphor for his own career: a man who sold his soul in return for earthly pleasures... as embodied by Elizabeth Taylor. --Robert Horton

Worth noting that there are no provisions for imprisonment as punishment in the Torah. Death, yes; financial restitution (which might involve the malefactor being sold for a period of servitude), yes; imprisonment, no. Also, there are no provisions for the mutilations (e.g., hand lopping for theft) which are sanctioned by the Koran.
but they are on our turf now. and we got provisions, if we would use them

Not a US ctizens rights, but the courts already gave them some very basic rights like Habeas Corpus.
They'll be tried in U.S. Federal courts, take it to the bank, where most of the evidence will be inadmissible because of the way it was obtained or for national security reasons. It's already being contemplated that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, facing death before a military tribunal for 9/11, won't be tried for that once he hits U.S. soil because the evidence was obtained by "torture" (waterboarding).

Yes. But that's not simply consigning someone to a dungeon, is it? It has three social advantages: restitution to the wronged; a saving on the public expenditure for the construction and maintenance of prisons; and a potentially rehabilitative punishment for the wrongdoer.
