Paying her first visit to Asia as the top US diplomat, Clinton said the United States would continue to press China on long-standing US concerns over human rights such as its rule over Tibet.
"But our pressing on those issues can't interfere on the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis and the security crisis," Clinton told reporters in Seoul just before leaving for Beijing.

A suicide bomber blew himself up at a funeral for a slain Shiite leader Friday in northwest Pakistan, killing 30 people and wounding more than 60, police and witnesses said. Three other people were killed in sectarian rioting sparked by the attack.

No one claimed responsibility, but the blast bore the hallmarks of Sunni extremists blamed for a string of other bloody strikes against Pakistan's Shiite minority in recent months.

The spike in sectarian violence is adding to the sense of crisis in the nuclear-armed country as it grapples with rising attacks by al-Qaida and Taliban militants based in tribal lands close to the Afghan border.

Witnesses said the suicide bomber barged into a 1,000-strong crowd streaming toward a graveyard in Dera Ismail Khan and then detonated his explosives. The crowd was mourning Sher Zeman, a Shiite leader who was gunned down in the city the day before.

Jobless Claims Hit All-Time High

-By Warner Todd Huston

Union shill Ron Gettelfinger wants you to know that if you don’t support unions you are a racist. That’s right. If you don’t want the undemocratic card check bill to pass Congress you are exactly like the negro hanging, civil rights denying, Jim Crow enforcers of the 1950s.

In one of the most disgusting examples of moral equivalence I’ve seen for a long time — at least one not appearing on such low-born sites such as the DailyKos or Huffington Post — Gettelfinger committed the anti-intellectual outrage of positing that hanging black men in the 1950’s is “just like” voting against a bill that would take away the right of prospective union members to be allowed to vote their conscience in secret as all votes in a democracy are traditionally cast.

re: #19 Cognito

Frankly, I think it is well past time to give the "global climate crisis" meme a break.

I don't know why these politicians think they know about the climate. They think that somehow if they throw enough money at the "crisis" that they can make the wind stop blowing. I do not want any of my money thrown at garbage science.

Michael Totten has a new post at Commentary blog.
A Third Lebanon War?

He is such a good writer and an adventurous person. And I keep thinking he is working his way toward believing that the bombers, rocketeers, etc. are acting and that the Israelis are re-acting. But maybe not yet:

It is going to happen again. No Lebanese people I know think history has tired of molesting their country. Predicting the timing of Lebanon’s chronic outbursts of violence is impossible, but it’s not hard to see that another conflict is coming sooner or later. ... The last time each side was this geared up and tense, both countries exploded.

So he still reports that "history" is "molesting" Lebanon, that there are "outbursts" of violence, and that Lebanon and Israel "both...exploded." He hasn't called the perps what they are. He may have said it somewhere, but not in this posting, that Israel will just move on with life with no bothering of Lebanon (unless they actually would want to work high tech, etc. with Israel) as long as Lebanon stays on their side of the border and keeps their rockets to themselves. Nope, it's spontaneous combustion by "both."

The word Obama is an acronym.

OBAMA = One Big Ass Mistake, America

The complacent and apathetic voters have made their ill-conceived choice. Putting national security and reform aside, they instead chose the Marxist candidate….the one who promised them the most from the treasury coffers. So much for campaign finance reform. With support from; a left-wing biased Bush/Cheney hating mainstream media, money and ads from moveon.org, fraudulent voter registrations by ACORN, Black Panthers intimidating voters in Philadelphia [and making statements like "a black man is going to win no matter what"], and illegal campaign donations (foreign and domestic), the free market system and experienced national security candidate never had a chance. Never in the history of U.S. elections, has such an extreme liberal, un-vetted, and secretive candidate been elected. It will become America's loss. Hell, this man voted over 130 times "Present" while in the Senate, which means he is incapable of making a decision! The middle class bought the Marxist candidates' mantra “I am going to save the middle class” sales pitch, hook, line, and sinker. In short, they were duped. When in actuality, the Kenyan born Barack Hussein Obama will destroy the middle class by creating a welfare dependent class and making them a ward of the state ….he will then own their vote. The Democrats will move quickly to pass and enact laws (i.e., the Fairness Doctrine, more power and money to ACORN, liberal campaign finance laws, ammunition coding and restrictions on gun ownership, etc.) to ensure they never lose power through future elections. The future will be a move towards a European style socialist system, where our standard of living and productivity will decline, our mighty military will become smaller and less equipped, and our taxes (all taxes) will go up. We will be forced into smaller cars, smaller homes, and smaller families. We will lose many freedoms, such as the right to own a firearm, the right to vote for a union via a secret ballot [instead the union thugs will tell you how to vote], et al. The gap between the rich elitists and the middle-class/poor will widen and there by destroying our republic and replacing it with a socialistic state. Don't be fooled by the Kenyan born Barack Hussein Obama's current middle-to-conservative cabinets picks (exception being Eric Holder as AG, a true left-wing extremist and anti-gun activist), it is just a smoke screen....remember what Stalin said.

“Work for more government intervention and control of the business activities of the people. In this way the American people will accept Communism without knowing it.” - Joseph Stalin

Like Spain, we have capitulated to the extreme Islamists and the George Soros socialists. The apathetic, and greedy self-interest voter, has made his/her choice. The voter has chosen; European style socialism over the capitalist free market system, Islam over Christianity, bondage over liberty, and punishment of achievement over self reliance. President Bush took the War on Terror to the enemy and his soil; the Kenyan born Barack Hussein Obama will capitulate and bring the war to our soil, and we will defend our borders with a smaller military. Instead of learning the lessons of other failed socialistic governments, sadly we have decided to join them.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Reagan

Harold the Barrel (Peter Gabriel era Genesis)

(RTTNews) - Stocks have shown a substantial move to the upside in recent trading on Friday, with the major averages moving well off their worst levels of the day. The rebound was partly due to comments from the White House easing concerns about the outlook for the financial sector.

Asked about speculation that the Obama administration may seek to nationalize Citigroup (C) and Bank of America (BAC), White House press secretary Robert Gibbs noted that the president strongly believes that "a privately held banking system is the correct way to go."...

re: #115 Walter L. Newton

LOL. Ok, that was really good. My guys usually hang up before I get really wound up. His premise helped keep the phone line open. Clever.

Walter, some time ago someone turned me on to an audio clip of some talk-radio guys accepting a call from a telemarketer and posing as homicide detectives who were now inquiring as to the nature of the call ... they were leading this hapless kid into believing that they were considering him a prime suspect in the death of the person who was being called ... somewhat cruel, but I could not help smiling hearing this kid getting the tables turned on him.

Well, as to that, as to that....

A lot of these exotic meats are either regional delicacies (they've been grubbing on this stuff since forever on special occasions, or they're meant for conspicuous consumption, a way of showing off). Your average Chinese has pork for meat, rice for grains, and some veggies from time to time. Folks up north eat more mutton, and folks on the coast eat more seafood, but by and large, getting grub in the PRC ain't as hard as it used to be.

Take the example of dog's meat; they eat it for reasons related to health (there's an opinion that dog flesh has medicinal properties), not desperation. Stuff is not cheap on the market.

Who said anything about fixing it? It reminds me of the final speech in the movie The American President where the Andrew Shepherd describes his opponent's approach:
"And whatever your particular problem is, I promise you, Bob Rumson is not the least bit interested in solving it. He is interested in two things and two things only: making you afraid of it and telling you who's to blame for it. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you win elections."

It certainly seems to have worked this past election cycle.
