Midday in Germany. They do not celebrate or even observe November 11th in connection with WWI here. Nearby there is a large monument [Link: www.seilbahn-ruedesheim.de...]
to the Franco-Prussian War of 1871, which I like to point out is the last (and only) war that Germany ever won...

There are reasonable arguments for a death penalty, but one argument against it is that it leads to a system where prosecutors seek to collect "brownie points" for sending the most convicts to death row, they think it looks good on their record.

And if someone is cleared after the fact, that's yesterday's news...

Ice Weasel and I covered the death penalty issue yesterday. The gubner of Illinios halted all executions a while back for that reason. But if you're talking about the DC sniper, well at least he was asked if he had any last words (he didn't). Unlike his victims who got nothing of the sorts.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad after a press conference in Istanbul, Monday.
Ahmadinejad said that for a real change in relations to take place, a choice must be made.
Speaking in Istanbul at the 25th Session of the Standing Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation (COMCEC) of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the Iranian president said that it was up to US President Barack Obmama to illustrate his motto of "Change."
"The support of both Israel and Iran can't go hand in hand," he was quoted as saying by IRNA. "No change is made unless great choices are made."

I am from the 'States. I have just been living here in Old Europe since 1988. I was getting fed up with the place and was ready to leave in 1989, but then suddenly got very interesting around here, and I decided to stick around and see how they turned out.

I am an expatriate, not an ex-patriot. Right now, I live here because it's where my family is, I intend to stick around.

Must admit, this is a time of year I get homesick for the 'States, what with the lovely fall leaves turning, and the ongoing reactions to it even more so.

Must admit that news of Fort Hood made me less homesick.

You can put all the religious bumper stickers on your car that you want, but a license plate, by all rights is an official document and must by law remain religiously neutral.

Reminds me of the man in Florida with an 'ATHEIST' plate.

After getting complaints, the state decides a Florida man's license plate is objectionable and yanks it.

...

But to the state of Florida, the tag is "obscene or objectionable," according to a letter Miles received last month from the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. That puts the personalized plate on the department's blacklist, right up there with epithets, expletives and words describing certain body parts.

I hear Canadian Club is pretty good...

There is a fine disctinction between religion in general (and its role in America's history) and the state favoring a particular religion or church. I have no great problem with "One Nation Under God" or even "In God We Trust".

The Supreme Court ruled as such over a deptiction of the Ten Commandments at the US Capitaol, which showed them in the context of their role in developing the law in history.
And we cannot ignore or deny the role that Christianity played in our nation's development, but at the saem time, we must continue to stress that freedom of religion and separation of church and state are among the cornerstones of our democracy

The bit with the Muslim woman's picture ID is, in my assessment an example of where the law trumps religious convictions: if she has trouble with it then she has the option of just staying at home.

re: #108 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Ralphie? She was a white chick, Muslim convert.

Court just didn't buy her bullshit, IIRC.

The reasoning was quite simple: the state's right to be able to identify the license bearer trumped whatever religious right existed to remain covered. Driving is a privilege, not a right, and the state was under no obligation to modify it's requirements when the simple alternative of not driving was an option.

It was also pointed out that in all countries where women are allowed to drive, they are required to carry a license feauring their bare-faced portrait. This included majority Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia. In short, there was no evidence that Islam required such covering under the circumstances in question.

There have been similar skirmishes over Muslim women being required to remove their veils while testifying in court. I don't think any of these have proceeded all the way to trial yet, but it is generally felt that it is the judge's prerogative to have the faces of those giving testimony visible.

re: #117 ralphieboy

Germany is rather progressive in that it offers state-subidized day care for all children above three, but it is generally only half-day, the notion being that if a mother is going to work, then she should keep it part-time.

And the entire tax, insurance and benefits system is based on the model of one partner working a "career" job and the other (i.e., the mother) staying at home or working only part time.

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Your family and mine would get along well. I have 1 brother and 3 sisters, all but one of us served in one branch or the other. Plus, all my uncles, both grandparents, and the majority of my cousins.

The cute ones (my sisters) all went to the Air Force. Me, the uncles and grandparents were all army, Dad was Navy, and those who couldn't spell correctly ended up in the Marines. ;)

I can see them being forbidden on interstate roadways because they could be distracting.

re: #163 Fat Bastard Vegetarian
My best friend comes from a miltiary family also, dad retired as a colonel. My buddy enlisted as an E1 and qualified on his own for just about every specialized combat training you can imagine. He just spent the last few years being an infantry drill sergeant at Benning. Last month his oldest boy followed in his footsteps over his dads suggestion that he join something safer, more educational, and all around cleaner. He's obviously very proud his boy ignored him. I'm betting your dad was too.

Internet Virus Frames Users For Child Porn

Of all the sinister things that Internet viruses do, this might be the worst: They can make you an unsuspecting collector of child pornography.

Heinous pictures and videos can be deposited on computers by viruses – the malicious programs better known for swiping your credit card numbers. In this twist, it's your reputation that's stolen.

Pedophiles can exploit virus-infected PCs to remotely store and view their stash without fear they'll get caught. Pranksters or someone trying to frame you can tap viruses to make it appear that you surf illegal Web sites.

Whatever the motivation, you get child porn on your computer – and might not realize it until police knock at your door.

An Associated Press investigation found cases in which innocent people have been branded as pedophiles after their co-workers or loved ones stumbled upon child porn placed on a PC through a virus. It can cost victims hundreds of thousands of dollars to prove their innocence.

Kiddie Porn was the Columbine of the 80's: it went from something that was ignored and repressed until some heinious cases came out, then the public overreacted with "zero tolerance" and supposition-of-guilty-until- proven-innocent that got parents busted for developing photos of their kiddies in the bathtub and incidents like this one.

A sixth UN mission in NY gets white powder letter

NEW YORK, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Russia became the sixth U.N. mission in New York to receive a letter containing white powder, police said on Wednesday after an envelope was found at the diplomatic post on Manhattan's Upper East Side overnight.

The U.N. missions of Austria, France, Britain, Germany and Uzbekistan all received letters containing white powder over the past two days. More than 40 people were decontaminated as a precaution after the letters were found.

The powder in the letters received by the missions of Austria, France and Uzbekistan was identified as flour, a New York Police Department spokesman said. Authorities are still waiting for test results on the powder sent to the missions of Britain, Germany and Russia and investigations are continuing.

Man charged with statutory rape in ‘marriage’ to 14-year-old girl

Vincent Mosby signed a marriage contract and paid a dowry in a religious ceremony in August, police said.

Mosby, 23, of Kansas City didn’t legally wed his 14-year-old bride, however, because Missouri law won’t allow it without a judge’s order. Police said she was pressured into the union because her mother and stepfather thought she was going to be sexually active with a boy her age.

Although the bride’s stepfather arranged the “marriage,” according to court records, other relatives frowned upon the union and told police in late August. The relatives also took the girl to protect her from further sexual abuse, according to court records.

A relative told police that Mosby called and threatened violence if family members didn’t “give me back my wife in 72 hours,” according to court records. Two days later, on Sept. 9, someone fired three shots into the Kansas City home of the girl’s aunt. No one was hit.

...In Islam, boys and girls are considered adults based on when they hit puberty, and people in some parts of the world do marry young, said Mahnaz Shabbir of Stilwell, a past president of the Heartland Muslim Council.

However, she said, Islam also says followers should live by the laws of the land.

On this Veteran's Day, I'd like to extend a huge "Thank you" and "God Bless" to the tens of thousands of men & women serving our country today, and the millions who have given so much.

Senior Official: More Hasan Ties to People Under Investigation by FBI
Alleged Shooter Had "Unexplained Connections" to Others Besides Jihadist Cleric Awlaki

A senior government official tells ABC News that investigators have found that alleged Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan had "more unexplained connections to people being tracked by the FBI" than just radical cleric Anwar al Awlaki. The official declined to name the individuals but Congressional sources said their names and countries of origin were likely to emerge soon.

...
Texas, an hour before a memorial service for the Fort Hood victims, four FBI agents showed up at the Killeen mosque where Hasan prayed and searched a trash bin outside. The mosque president was clearly upset when he had to return from traveling to the service to sign a document handed to him by agents, apparently authorizing the search.

The FBI would not comment on what the agents were looking for at the mosque a full five days after the shooting, but motivation remains the focus.

"Obviously, the key is did he act alone," former senior FBI official Brad Garrett told ABC News. "And secondarily is, what evidence might potentially be in the dumpsters or at the mosque."

"We're concerned any time a house of worship is searched in this fashion," said Ibrahim Hooper, national communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington, D.C.-based civil rights group. "And we would follow up to see if there was probable cause for the search and if it was carried out in the appropriate and legal manner."

"We're concerned any time a house of worship is searched in this fashion," said Ibrahim Hooper,

The other day I was wearing a sweat shirt with a vaguely semi-military-looking motif and a gushy lady at the lunch table thanked me profusely for my service in protecting her and her family. I wasn't in a mood to explain my brief, inglorious six monhs in the peacetime Army Reserve or the 100% civilian provenance of the sweat shirt, so I tried to look heroic and mumbled something to the effect of "You're welcome." Bless her heart, but it was embarrassing. Here's to the real veterans.

"We're concerned any time a house of worship is searched in this fashion," said Ibrahim Hooper, national communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington, D.C.-based civil rights group. "And we would follow up to see if there was probable cause for the search and if it was carried out in the appropriate and legal manner."

On one hand, we do hve to be especially solicitious of religious fredom in our country, but our Constitution overrides any sort of religious convictions.

When the Catholic Church was being reticent about assisting investigations about child abuse allegations among priests, the Attorney General said that they would simply start treating the church as a criminal organization involved in a conspiracy.

And that is the strength of Speraration of Church and State in our country: even if it is a religious organization, if it engaged in illegal activities, then it can be trated as a criminal organization, regardliess of its religious status.

Stimulus job boost in state exaggerated, review finds
Errors, incomplete data, estimated positions go into federal report

From the arch-nemesis of Obama, ally of Beck, and probable Tea Party organizer, the Boston Globe:

While Massachusetts recipients of federal stimulus money collectively report 12,374 jobs saved or created, a Globe review shows that number is wildly exaggerated. Organizations that received stimulus money miscounted jobs, filed erroneous figures, or claimed jobs for work that has not yet started.
...
In other cases, federal money that recipients already receive annually - subsidies for affordable housing, for example - was reclassified this year as stimulus spending, and the existing jobs already supported by those programs were credited to stimulus spending. Some of these recipients said they did not even know the money they were getting was classified as stimulus funds until September, when federal officials told them they had to file reports.

“There were no jobs created. It was just shuffling around of the funds,’’ said Susan Kelly, director of property management for Boston Land Co., which reported retaining 26 jobs with $2.7 million in rental subsidies for its affordable housing developments in Waltham. “It’s hard to figure out if you did the paperwork right. We never asked for this.’’

The federal stimulus report for Massachusetts has so many errors, missing data, or estimates instead of actual job counts that it may be impossible to accurately tally how many people have been employed by the massive infusion of federal money. Massachusetts is expected to receive an estimated $1 billion more in stimulus contracts, grants, and loans.

The damage to the Republican Party continues unabated:

Republicans Edge Ahead of Democrats in 2010 Vote
Registered voters prefer Republicans for the House, 48% to 44%
by Jeffrey M. Jones

PRINCETON, NJ -- Republicans have moved ahead of Democrats by 48% to 44% among registered voters in the latest update on Gallup's generic congressional ballot for the 2010 House elections, after trailing by six points in July and two points last month.
...
As was the case in last Tuesday's gubernatorial elections, independents are helping the Republicans' cause. In the latest poll, independent registered voters favor the Republican candidate by 52% to 30%. Both parties maintain similar loyalty from their bases, with 91% of Democratic registered voters preferring the Democratic candidate and 93% of Republican voters preferring the Republican.
...
Over the course of the year, independents' preference for the Republican candidate in their districts has grown, from a 1-point advantage in July to the current 22-point gap.
...
Bottom Line

Roughly a year before the 2010 midterm elections, Republicans seem well-positioned to win back some of their congressional losses in 2006 and 2008. Independents are increasingly coming to prefer the Republican candidate for Congress, and now favor the GOP by 22 points. Political conditions could still shift between now and Election Day to create a more favorable environment for Democratic candidates, but a Republican lead on the generic ballot among registered voters has been a sign of a strong Republican showing at the polls in the coming election.

Think President Obama will have them sit down over some beers for another teachable moment?

A prominent Columbia architecture professor punched a female university employee in the face at a Harlem bar during a heated argument about race relations, cops said yesterday.

Police busted Lionel McIntyre, 59, for assault yesterday after his bruised victim, Camille Davis, filed charges.

McIntyre and Davis, who works as a production manager in the school's theater department, are both regulars at Toast, a popular university bar on Broadway and 125th Street, sources said.

The professor, who is black, had been engaged in a fiery discussion about "white privilege" with Davis, who is white, and another male regular, who is also white, Friday night at 10:30 when fists started flying, patrons said.

McIntyre, who is known as "Mac" at the bar, shoved Davis, and when the other patron and a bar employee tried to break it up, the prof slugged Davis in the face, witnesses said.

"The punch was so loud, the kitchen workers in the back heard it over all the noise," bar back Richie Velez, 28, told The Post. "I was on my way over when he punched Camille and she fell on top of me."

The other patron involved in the dispute said McIntyre then took a swing at him after he yelled, "You don't hit a woman!"

"He knocked the glasses right off my face," said the man, who would only give his first name as "Shannon." "The punch came out of nowhere. Mac was talking to us about white privilege and what I was doing about it -- apparently I wasn't doing enough."

"BATES CITY, MO - An investigation into child sex crimes now requires the help of cadaver dogs. Police are expected to search for bodies on a stretch of farm property near Bates City, Missouri after five people were arrested on child sex charges Tuesday.

According to authorities, the five were arrested on active warrants for sex crimes against children.

Burrell Edward Mohler Sr., 77, Independence, Missouri, is charged with five counts of child rape. Burrell Edward Mohler Jr., 53, also of Independence, is charged with three counts of child rape. David A. Mohler, 52, Lamoni, Iowa, is charged with one count of child rape. Jared Leroy Mohler, 48, Columbia, Missouri, is charged with four counts of child rape, and Roland Neil Mohler, 47, Bates City, Missouri, faces one charge of felony use of a child in a sexual performance."
