I actually "own" a yahoo support group of over 1300 people from around the world, and sometimes it gets to be a handful to take care of.

re: #120 Crimsonfisted
There were many things that I didn't agree with GWB on... but I admired him anyway. He did a superb job of protecting us from another attack for one thing. The economic crisis isn't his fault..... a few repubs incl McCain had tried to stop it from happening a few years ago, but Pelosi etal stuffed a sock in their mouths and here we are! Honestly, where do they think all the money they're giving away now is coming from? ...AND.... I can't help but think this would have been solved if the very first "balout" would've been given to US- remember us, the American citizens?- instead of to the bigshot companies. If it would have been given to us we would've used it to pay our mortgages, pay our bills, and buy things - getting the banks out of trouble, and getting the economy moving again. Giving it to all the big-shots all the time instead of back where it BELONGS is not solving the problems; they are just hoarding it and the problem just keeps getting worse and worse. All that is just imho, though, LOL... :)

A quote from The Obama today after an impromptu visit with the press corps:
"Ahh, see," he said, "I came down here to visit. See this is what happens. I can't end up visiting with you guys and shaking hands if I'm going to get grilled every time I come down here."
Pressed further by the Politico reporter about his Pentagon nominee, William J. Lynn III, Obama turned more serious, putting his hand on the reporter's shoulder and staring him in the eye.
"Alright, come on" he said, with obvious irritation in his voice. "We will be having a press conference at which time you can feel free to [ask] questions. Right now, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to you guys - that's all I was trying to do."
The president was quickly saved by a cameraman in the room who called out: “I’d like to say it one more time: ‘Mr. President.’ ”
Translation: If you want to feel the warmth of my glow, don't ask any but the most creampuffy of questions.

Hey Cubs fans!
Reports: Tribune chooses Ricketts to buy Cubs
...
Tom Ricketts grew up watching the Cubs on WGN, once lived in an apartment above a bar across the street from Wrigley Field, and met his wife in the bleachers at a Cubs game. His father, J. Joe Ricketts, founded Ameritrade and became a leading online stockbroker, but Tom never worked for that company.
He was a market maker at the Chicago Board Options Exchange and finance executive before starting investment bank Incapital LLC. He has been serving as the family's point man in the bid to buy the Cubs.
If the deal is approved, the Ricketts would acquire a team that hasn't won the World Series since 1908 and hasn't even made it to the World Series since 1945. While the Cubs won the NL Central in each of the last two seasons, they were swept in the first round of the playoffs both times.
Tribune Co. considered selling the team and the famous ballpark separately but rejected a plan from the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority to purchase the ivy-walled stadium. Kenney said recently that the two would be sold together.

Reading was not just entertaining, although it is that, but it is also very informative. There have many a time, especially during big moments such as the primaries, and the election, that I'd read somethng that I just ITCHED to respond to, but wasn't a member. I must have seend "the door opens, the door closes" so many times it isn't funny... I couldn't BELIEVE it when I saw "the door opens" and it didn't have "the door closes" behind it.

So does your cat's doctor.
I'm not paying for someone else's cat to go to the doctor. Even if it does think it's moved to my house.
I'll let it eat. I'll let it sleep. I won't pay for medical care.

This is an open forum, and not all eyes reading are friendly.
I know all too well how open things can be. You certainly don't need to tell me anything you don't want to.

Those are very bone/ivory looking. More bone, I think. Very nice. My Kimber's grips are generic. I want a set of Mexican silver grips with a Lone Star on one side and maybe an eagle on the other side. Antiqued, though.
The grips I have come stock on that model. They're fine, and feel good, but Just aesthetically don't appeal to me.

For me it was the throbbing Rathergate Memo.
I could not keep away after that. There was always something interesting being discussed here. There are lots a people I agree with on most issues and a fair number that I don't. It is always interesting.
It's funny you ask that because I was dogsitting at my sister's (which I happen to be doing again as we speak) when I first went to the site. I caught a registration the first day, I think. I remember a comment by Mandy cracked me up and made me want to keep reading. It was actually the senses of humor that made me stay. Then the education started.

Today is Thursday, Jan. 22, the 22nd day of 2009. There are 343 days left in the year.
On this date:
In 1901, Britain's Queen Victoria died at age 81.
In 1905 (New Style calendar), thousands of demonstrating Russian workers were fired on by Imperial army troops in St. Petersburg on what became known as "Bloody Sunday."
In 1909, actress Ann Sothern was born in Valley City, N.D.; U.N. Secretary-General U Thant was born in Pantanaw, Burma.
In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson pleaded for an end to war in Europe, calling for "peace without victory." (By April, however, America also was at war.)
In 1922, Pope Benedict XV died; he was succeeded by Pius XI.
In 1944, during World War II, Allied forces began landing at Anzio, Italy.
In 1959, 12 workers were killed in the Knox Mine Disaster in Port Griffith, Pa., when a mine became flooded with water from the Susquehanna River.
In 1973, former President Lyndon B. Johnson died at age 64.
In 1984, the Los Angeles Raiders defeated the Washington Redskins 38-9 to win Super Bowl XVIII, played at Tampa Stadium in Florida. (The game broadcast on CBS-TV featured Apple Computer's famous "1984" ad introducing the Macintosh PC.)
In 1995, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy died at the Kennedy compound at Hyannis Port, Mass., at age 104.
Ten years ago: Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., abruptly called for dismissal of charges against President Bill Clinton to "end this sad and sorry time for our country." Clinton called for spending $2.8 billion to protect the nation from cyber terrorism and chemical and germ warfare. Pope John Paul II arrived in Mexico on his first visit in 20 years.
Five years ago: South Dakota politician Bill Janklow was sentenced to 100 days in jail for an auto accident that killed a motorcyclist. Enron Corp.'s former top accountant, Richard Causey, surrendered to federal authorities; he pleaded innocent to conspiracy and fraud charges. (Causey later pleaded guilty to securities fraud and was sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison.) Actress-dancer Ann Miller died in Los Angeles at age 81.
One year ago: Actor Heath Ledger was found dead of an accidental prescription overdose in New York City; he was 28. Jose Padilla, once accused of plotting with al-Qaida to blow up a radioactive "dirty bomb," was sentenced by a U.S. federal judge in Miami to 17 years and four months on terrorism conspiracy charges. Republican Fred Thompson quit the race for the White House after a string of poor finishes in early primary and caucus states.

This will end in tears. The Obama hysteria is not merely embarrassing to witness, it is itself contributory to the scale of the disaster that is coming. What we are experiencing, in the deepening days of a global depression, is the desperate suspension of disbelief by people of intelligence - la trahison des clercs - in a pathetic effort to hypnotise themselves into the delusion that it will be all right on the night. It will not be all right.

OAK BROOK, Ill. -- The company that makes the popular Beanie Babies is hoping for two more big winners with dolls named "Sweet Sasha" and "Marvelous Malia."
But, no, the names do not refer to President Barack Obama's daughters, a Ty Inc. spokeswoman says. Honest!
Ty released the 12-inch dolls as part of the company's "TyGirlz Collection." The Sasha doll has pigtails and wears a white and pink dress with hearts. The Malia doll has a side ponytail and a long-sleeve shirt with capri pants.
The Oak Brook-based company chose the names because "they are beautiful names," not because of any resemblance to Malia and Sasha Obama, said spokeswoman Tania Lundeen.

Dark_Falcon Thu, Jan 22, 2009 7:55:05pm |
re: #367 buzzsawmonkey
To lift term limits on the POTUS, the current term limit amendment must be repealed, which requires ratification by the states. Congress alone can't do it.
Now, granted that ACORN could swing into vote-fraud action if such a thing came up for vote, but there is by no means any certainty that it would pass even with their best efforts, if for no reason that people as a rule seem to think that term limits are a good idea (I don't, but that's another discussion).
In any event, it's going to be a long four years before the next presidential election, and if the US is still standing (G-d willing) there is no guarantee Obama will be re-elected. It is almost certain that even if the term-limit amendment were repealed, it would not happen before the end of a second Obama term (G-d forbid), and he would likely be barred from benefiting from it anyway.
So take a deep breath or two. You're going to need them for plenty of other things over the next four years, long before constitutional amendments come up.
Moreover, to put any Amendment through Congress takes two thirds of both houses. The Democrat's don't have two thirds and the GOP will not support such an amendment, even the RINOs won't vote for it. There are many ways the Dems can hurt us, but that is not likely to be one of them.

Q: Taming a Southern Fence Lizard
I have kept Green and Brown Anoles wild but I want to know what the best way to tame a Southern Fence Lizard is. I heard about rubbing their bellies but how should i go about doing that? Thanks for you help!
A: Taming a Southern Fence Lizard
ok hears how I tamed mine.
1.) first try just putting your hand in the cage.
do this till the lizard is ont afarid of your hand and doesn't try to hide or run away.
2.) then gently touch your lizard, with your finger.
do this till it no longer runs away.
3.) pick your lizard up but hold it only inside the cage.
try letting your lizard run onto your hand.
(this way if your lizard jumps off it hasn't escaped. )
4.) when your lizard no longer trys to escape then you can hold it away from the cage. I don't recomend holding your lizard far away from the cage. when your lizard getss squirmy then stop taming for the day.This method really works I use it to tame all my lizards.

Did Caroline Kennedy withdraw from NY Senate Race due to an affair?
The strange and sudden withdrawal of Caroline Kennedy from the NY Senate race has been linked to an affair.
Kennedy, who’s marriage has been said to be on shaking ground for some time, has been linked to New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, a known “friend” on Kennedy.
Kennedy’s only statement on her sudden withdrawal was to cite unspecified “personal issues.”
Sulzberger divorced last year, and has been spotted several times in public with Kennedy. The rumors that the two may be more than just friends first surfaced in May 2008.

Keep your dreams of forever-young nymphs. Make sure you hold tight to them 'cause we are not interested in hugging up to you.
We're too busy living life as it plays out.

I don't know, they may take to chewing some more khat to continue the euphoria.
Many East Africans believe the new Administration will do more to alleviate poverty and disease on the African continent. I don't think that they appreciate America's fiscal concerns and limitation that these concerns that this will place on the government.
President Bush was a friend of Africa, and many believe President Obama will be more sympathetic to Africa.
Africa can't pay his staff enough graft. They don't know yet how good they got it with Bush.

A "Trojan" is a virus that sneaks in in another application, i.e. malware.
I think.
In reality, it was a pain in the ass that actually TURNED OFF the Windows updates and for a while interrupted and refreshed everything.
Took me a few tries, but I tracked it all down and killed it real good.

They beat us by ORGANIZING -- coffees, extracurricular games for the kids, neighborhood speakers, potluck suppers, door-to-door efforts --- committed people talking to their neighbors in every town and precinct -- and then meshing it all on the internet. We used to do some of this in the old days -- dunno what's happened recently except our candidates and party have gone downhill far and fast. The Dems, on the other hand, didn't care who their candidate was going to be -- they just cared about setting up the organization that would push a Democrat into office.
In any event, we need to do NOW what they did to get back in the game.
It would help if we had a Soros type who is as dedicated to liberty as George is to socialism. Some financial and organizational backing to get things going would be terrific -- but we can do it without if necessary. Michael Steele is a good organizer. Maybe he'll be the one to get it going.

Hiya RW!
I get the feeling Obama will very soon start extolling youngsters to "donate their time to the cause", and say things like "it is up to you to make it happen", and "for the good of the many". This gives people a false sense of empowerment. What this really is is the beginnings of Communism pure and simple. Watch for it.
Earlier in the thread I mentioned the web site usaservice.org. If you go into it and read about their instructions for recruiting people, you may see that this is already happening.

We're gonna need something because America is just about as brainwashed as you can get. Worshipping a politician is ALWAYS a bad idea.
That's why I like my idea: We'll use the same spirit Obama is trying to tap into, but turn it to our own advantage or at least keep it neutral. We avoid confronting Obama on field where he is strong but still keep him from doing damage. Other projects might be cleanup and neighborhood improvement programs. The point is to do good while at the same time build up our own organization. Call it the Dark_Falcon variation on the Carl Rove organization strategy.

re: #891 Racer X Hey there yourself! Oh I expect it, but I think Americans already donate an awful lot of their time and money to worthy causes - Obama may get some who've never done anything for anyone else (outside of family and close friends) to volunteer but I don't think you really can get anywhere with "forced volunteerism" or whatever. And as far as I'm concerned, paying people to volunteer to help the community isn't really volunteerism.
Which Obama will quickly find out.

Even normally critical voices, like the aid activist and former rock star, Bob Geldof, gives Mr Bush credit for what he has achieved.At the top of the list is the President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (Pepfar), initiated in 2003.
At the time just 50,000 Africans were on anti-retroviral drugs.
BUSH'S AFRICA RECORD
George W Bush under a mosquito bed net in Tanzania in February 2008
Pumped $18bn into fighting HIV/Aids, much of it in Africa
Backed cancelling $34bn worth of debt for 27 African states
Launched initiative that has halved Malaria in 15 African countries
Led condemnation of Sudan's record in Darfur as genocide
Pressed for north-south peace deal in Sudan
"Saved millions of lives", according to aid activist Bob Geldof
Backed Ethiopia's invasion of Somalia to battle IslamistsCountries that will miss Bush
Since then the US has pumped $18bn (£12bn) into fighting HIV/Aids - much of it in Africa.
By 2007, 1.3 million Africans were on medication, much of it paid for by the Bush administration.
Not that Pepfar is without its critics.
Some have attacked the US for preventing any funding for programmes that support abortion in any form.
Others suggested that it has downplayed the need to promote the use of condoms.
But no-one denies that the funding has made anti-retrovirals widely available, saving hundreds of thousands of lives.
The story on aid is much the same.
The US has backed programmes to cancel $34bn (£23bn) worth of debt for 27 African states.
At the same time aid to Africa has risen to $5.7bn (£4bn) dollars a year by 2007.
And, as anyone who has ever been to a refugee camp in Africa will testify, almost all the food aid to be seen comes from American farmers - aid worth $1.23bn (£0.85bn) in 2007.
I don't think it's too strong to say that President Bush's Africa policy is the most distinguished foreign policy legacy of the administration
Todd Moss
Center for Global DevelopmentMr Bush's Malaria initiative has seen the disease halved in 15 African countries.
Travelling to the continent with the president in February last year, Bob Geldof concluded: "The Bush regime has been divisive - but not in Africa.
"I read it has been incompetent - but not in Africa. It has created bitterness - but not here in Africa. Here, his administration has saved millions of lives."

re: #940 Erik The Red
Do they know? From were I am you would think Bush didn't know where Africa is on a map. The people in Africa are so used to hand outs and freebies which Bush did not do. He spent the money wisely here.
Yes, he spent the money wisely, by establishing partnerships and working with NGOs to go after real problems... there was no fluff, it was all business of solving pressing problems and very few press conferences. AIDs research and malaria efforts will be a big part of his legacy, but the MSM will not talk about that. Just like they are ignoring the success in Iraq.

Flashback...
Lizard in Computer Disrupts Shuttle Post
Published: November 30, 1985
An 18-inch lizard disrupted operation of a computer briefly Thursday at an African ground station tracking the space shuttle Atlantis, Mission Control reported today.
Sally Ride, an astronaut in the Houston control center, told the shuttle crew that the tracking station in Dakar, Senegal, had experienced a momentary power fluctuation that halted the computer.
''The cause of the fluctuation was found to be an 18-inch monitor-type lizard,'' Miss Ride said, reading from a report from Dakar. ''The lizard was dislodged with a screwdriver and scampered away.''
''You're sure it's Thanksgiving and not April 1, right?'' asked Jerry Ross, an astronaut on board the shuttle.
Miss Ride, fighting back laughter, then finished the message: ''The lizard was last seen moving at a rapid pace across the plains of Senegal.''

We should wait for a leader to emerge. We can start small and use place like LGF to link our effort. In a way Obama is right: "We are the ones we've been waiting for." Skillful conservative organizing can take those words and send them back on him like a boomerang. the best part is that volunteer will be at least partially in line with his own calls for service and thus will be harder to attack.

That Wiki page is OK, but its explanation of the virus's name is a bit weak.
The name is a German hacker pun, meaning "program that manipulates the configuration", consisting of the abbreviation con for configuration and the nominalized form of the German verb ficken which is homophonic with English "configure".
They left out the part about "ficken" being German for "to fuck" - so "conficker" means "configuration fucker".

The people of Africa may not "love" President Bush, but those that follow what he did to relieve suffering on the continent are grateful for his efforts. He will be long remembered here as a friend of the continent. President Obama has an extremely hard act to follow on the African continent, he might not do as well, and there could well be a lot of dissappointment that replaces the current euphoria. Wait and see, in the end after all the confetti has been relegated to the garbage piles, it is results that matter to a child with no parents.

Well I've been involved in charity type work my entire adult life until I got cancer - that's kinda limited me in several ways.
But there are no end of existing community programs.
Programs to help seniors, veterans, newly unemployed and all.
It sorta depends on what you bring to the table. If you're a doctor you can donate time to help diagnose and help the poor and elderly who are ill. If you have a vehicle, you can transport folks who would otherwise be shut-ins; you can drive a meals on wheels vehicle - there really are a lot of good programs that I'd encourage folks to get involved in, but if you are doing it to achieve a political goal, I'd suggest you not bother. Oh, and if you want to work for a charitable organization, I'd STRONGLY advise you to check it out - ask for copies of their most recent audited statements or tax returns (even 501 c 3's corporations have to file those returns) and see how much of the "charity"'s money goes to "overhead and administration" and how much goes to doing what the "Charity" is supposed to be doing.

The only way to truly prevent getting messed up? Never install new software or transfer files by any means, and NEVER connect to the internet, especially with broadband connections.

Al-Qaeda cell killed by Black Death 'was developing biological weapons'
The group of 40 terrorists were reported to have been killed by the plague at a training camp in Algeria earlier this month.
It was initially believed that they could have caught the disease through fleas on rats attracted by poor living conditions in their forest hideout.
But there are now claims the cell was developing the disease as a weapon to use against western cities.
Experts said that the group was developing chemical and biological weapons.
Dr Igor Khrupinov, a biological weapons expert at Georgia University, told The Sun: "Al-Qaeda is known to experiment with biological weapons. And this group has direct communication with other cells around the world.
"Contagious diseases, like ebola and anthrax, occur in northern Africa. It makes sense that people are trying to use them against Western governments."

I suspect that this is the first time you have seen an article in the WSJ or other major media house that discusses what Pres Bush has done for the African continent.
I cannot prove it, but I suspect that it has something to do with making the former President seem unsympathetic to the needs of people of color in general and out of touch with what is really happening to people all over the globe.

With the hair brained economics and his wanting to make peace with radical terrorists, hows that going to go? How is he going to look after his policies get thousands of african-american civilians killed? They live in heavly democratic cities. It's a matter of time.

HEY Y'all - my offer to help Dark-Falcon with volunteerism and real charitible work in #986 extends to all of you. But I have to caution you all: if your purpose in helping others is purely driven by politics, you won't succeed.
If you simply want to be an EXAMPLE of what a good American is, and folks understand that and understand that you are a Republican or Rightist or whatever the opposite of Obama is, you will undoubtedly sway a LOT of people to your cause. But your primary motivation I think has to be to actually do something for your community and the people who live there.
Again, I'd be happy to help with legal knowledge and experience in running small start up charitiable organizations to big existing charities.

Yipes! All I can answer is re the T, and it is over 25 years since I was on it. I used to live on Comm. Ave, in Brighton, near Sutherland Rd. and the trolley went down the middle, and I actually remember in the '40's that the seats were straw!
'Wicked' was not in use in my youth! ;)
'Packie'? Not a clue!
Well, I lived near Harvard St, around 30 years ago, but grew up in Boston, riding the (PCC) streetcars for years. Amazing they kept those things running for over 40 years until they got the cruddy government project Boeing Vertol replacements. The Japanese ones they got after that seemed good, but the Italian replacements were junk; fix it again, Tony.
Packie = package store, that is, liquor store.

The John Murtha Jihadist Correctional Facility
by Michelle Malkin
Get this: King of Pork John Murtha, the 19-term Democratic congressman from western Pennsylvania, now wants to welcome a flood of Guantanamo Bay jihadists into his district. I don't want to hear a single word of protestation from the constituents who put this money-grubbing, security-undermining fool back into office. As you vote, so shall you reap.
Murtha audaciously expressed his hope to house Gitmo detainees after President Barack Obama circulated his draft executive order to shut the facility down by the end of the year. "Sure, I'd take 'em," Murtha glibly retorted. "They're no more dangerous in my district than in Guantanamo." Murtha blustered that there was "no reason not to put 'em in prisons in the United States and handle them the way they would handle any other prisoners."

Famed Quartet Played Recordings of Tunes at Inauguration
Millions of viewers heard a recording of the dulcet tones played by a celebrated quartet of musicians at President Barack Obama's inauguration rather than the notes the group actually played.
Carole Florman, a spokeswoman for the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, says the weather was too cold for the instruments to stay in tune. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Izhak Perlman, pianist Gabriella Montero and clarinetist Anthony McGill made the decision on Inauguration Day Tuesday to use an audio tape of their performance that they had laid down two days earlier.

But under RR, we got the M1 tank, the M2 IFV, the F16's and F15's. We said goodbye to the M113 APC, the M60 tank, and even the Cobra gunships. They are still around, but after those changes and that president, the USSR fell apart. But the new Presidente wants to show weakness to the enemy, cut military spending, inflate peoples need for goverment hand outs, but keep his fat cat celebs happy.

Al-Qaeda cell killed by Black Death 'was developing biological weapons'
When I first saw those reports a few days ago, I figured it was a natural outbreak. If the new reports are true, and AQ was trying to weaponize the plague, then they are dumber than we thought.
The plague is caused by a bacteria, and is treatable with antibiotics.
In western nations, the plague would scare some people at first, but with our extensive hospital/clinic systems, and easy access to antibiotics, few would die.
In AQ's home in the third world, with few hospitals, fewer antibiotics, and a penchant for superstitious disease treatments... many would die.
They would once again kill more fellow Muslims than evil infidels... in keeping with their long and pathetic track record. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Flu shot is a lottery. They take a look at flu strains around, mostly Asia, make the vaccine out of the 3 or 4 strains most likely to be the common one for the coming season. But there is a lot of flu virus, you can always catch one that's not covered by the vaccine.

I'm starting to wonder if I won't end up feeling sorry for Obama. Look at the incident with Biden, today. How much could he embarrass Barry in four years at this rate? And he thinks the press is crowding him now? Imagine if he had to face of scrutiny his predecessor received. He'd probably have been raving and babbling before the first recount was done.

re: #1056 stevieray
Actually, if you are weaponizing a bacteria, you would continually expose the bacterial culture during development to the most common antibiotics approved to treat it. This would ensure that the culture remaining would be composed of organisms that are resistant to antibiotics available. No germ warfare is deadly, and despite what you are suggesting, it would cause a severe human and logistical load that would tax our health care system. The epidemic would be difficult to treat and if it were not quickly isolated and we would have to search for new anti-biotics.
Let us pray that the murderers never develop a means to weaponize and transport more resistant cultures of Yersinia Pestis (the organism responsible for the plague) than currently are occuring in some communities, it is a really nasty bug.

Well back in the day of dial up I used to have to disable Norton for long threads on LGF, but not now that I'm on broadband and I used Norton Internet Security with Windows XP-PRO and had no troubles either!

re: #1095 Sosigado Huh, that's never happened to me with VISTA - now I'm not technically inclined here, but you might want to insure that you are in fact logged in (do you get knocked off the thread you were on to a different thread or the Front Page?) and otherwise, just mention it to Charles (assuming you have dumped temp files, cookies and all that jazz).

Yep, went back to IE7 myself. For a while there Firefox was getting nasty on LGF too, but it's been fixed now I believe.
Yep... FF has been a dream on LGF lately. I hear there is a new FF coming in a few months... FF4... with a new and improved javascript engine. That would really be great! Firefox still has a few clunky ways of dealing with javascript-heavy pages like LGF... but not as many as before.

WA Leg. "If it's a good idea, who cares what it costs."
Of all the times to ignore the cost of proposed bills, this session is probably one of the worst. To say that the Office of Financial Management is behind on its cost projections for new tax or fee legislation is an understatement. Hundreds of bills have already been filed, but the cost projections are only available for one.
While Olympia spends, Microsoft for the first time is laying off. And WA unemployment hits 7.1%.
From the looks of it, DC isn't going to do any better.
I have only one thing to say....

Clinton Foundation mum on stock buyer
Former President Bill Clinton's foundation, despite identifying more than 200,000 of its donors in recent weeks, will not say who paid it windfall prices for stock in a struggling Internet firm with links to the Chinese government.
. . .
However, Mrs. Clinton's office and the foundation have declined to answer questions about a lucrative 2006 stock transaction, details of which were reported by The Washington Times in March 2008.
The Accoona Corp. donated between $250,001 and $500,000 to Mr. Clinton's charity after he spoke at the company's launch in New York in 2004, according to donor information released by the foundation in December. The foundation sold its Accoona stock for $700,000 two years later, according to the charity's tax return for 2006.
Despite what the tax return suggests, Accoona struggled mightily to turn a profit.
In 2007, Accoona filed a prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting more than $60 million in losses during three years. In the same prospectus, it listed the China Daily Information Corp., a subsidiary of China Daily, the official English-language newspaper of the Chinese government, as an official partner and 6.9 percent owner of the company.
Last year, the company's management posted a note on the Accoona Web site saying it no longer would be active, citing "an overwhelmingly competitive search market." Its Jersey City phone number has a busy signal. However, it was later announced that Accoona had been acquired by a Denmark-based business-to-business search engine.
While the Clinton Foundation voluntarily disclosed the original donation of the stock, it still is unwilling to say who was willing to pay so much for its holdings in the struggling company. Mrs. Clinton's office referred questions about the Accoona stock deal to Mr. Clinton's foundation, which declined to provide details.
"We have not disclosed that and have no plans to," foundation spokesman Matt McKenna wrote in an e-mail.

There seems to be two subjects that pushed a lot of folks buttons. The neo-nazis connection with some European anti-jihad groups, and Intelligent design.
First and foremost remember this is Charles' house, his rules. We you get close the end you'll get warnings from other lizards, then from Charles and if you continue a painful visit with Stinky Beaumont the LGF sanitation engineer.
LGF is not covered by the 1st Amend, it's covered by Charles' rules. Remember that.
On the aforemetioned subjects some lizards, even long time respected lizard could not contain themselves, felt things where getting personal or for other reasons, not abide by the house rules. Others would be two faced, and present one face her and insult our host elsewhere.
I considered Mama and others friends, others I'm glad are gone. Others trolls, mobys, and idiots are of no consequence.
