My two cents are: In our country at the time of the end of the rule of the Swedish kings there was in some places the pagan custom, known also elsewhere in the world. On Shrove Tuesday people made a puppet figure which they called metsik [the Wild One]. One year they put on it a man's hat and an old coat, the next year they put on it a coif and a woman's dress. They hoisted this figure up on a long pole and, dancing and singing, carried it across the border of their village, borough or parish and tied it to the top of a tree in the woods. This was to mean that all mishaps and bad luck were over and that grain and flax were to give good yield in this year. In Germany, where a similar thing was done in the past, people said that they were taking away winter or death. (Eesti-ma rahva... 1838, Laakmann, Anderson 1934: 14, Laugaste 1963: 138-139).

My two cents are: By "Image of Limited Good" I mean that broad areas of peasant behavior are patterned in such a fashion as to suggest that peasants view their social, economic, and natural universes--their total environment--as one in which all of the desired things in life such as land, wealth, health, friendship and love, manliness and honor, respect and status, power and influence, security and safety, exist in finite quantity and are always in short supply, as far as the peasant is concerned. Not only do these and all other "good things" exist in finite and limited quantities, but in addition there is no way directly within peasant power to increase the available quantities.(20) He notes that "any advantage achieved by one individual or family is seen as a loss to others, and the person who makes what the Western world lauds as 'progress' is viewed as a threat to the stability of the entire community."(21) Why? If supply is thought to be radically limited, any person's gain must comes through loss by others. Two things happen when people view the world in this way: (1) they "are reluctant to advance beyond their peers because of the sanctions they know will be leveled against them"(22) and (2) the person "who is seen or known to acquire more becomes much more vulnerable to the envy of his neighbors."(23) Hence, if someone gains success, goods, honor or anything valued by a group, then others correspondingly perceive themselves losing worth, prestige and the like. Envy follows as surely as night follows day. From Foster

My two cents are: So you see how "double fair" this is for glump, why it's important in a world of "limited good". Denying the teachers a pay raise, plus his wife getting one, really means his wife's raise is twice as big because someone is suffering the lack of a raise. A retchie needs the suffering of another for self-actualization. Maybe three times as big if you figure that private school tuitoion didnt go up, but we dont know that yet. A retchie needs the suffering of another for self-actualization.

My two cents are: There's sort of an MK'ish ring to glumps latest complaint as well. Haven't quite pegged it but it's tied to that feeling that wife has somewhow been rewarded as part of a grand meritocracy that at once validates trickledown and the clan breightly place in the great scheme of things. A regular schmoe probably wouldn't dare dream of linking this to watering down the ketchup and slicing the bread a little thinner, both good corporate strategies for tose not at the Bush-Cheney level of corruption. Questoin is, wouldn't it be better yet to go the full reagan and just abolish school lunch? There's the real savings.

My two cents are: Do I detect a note of jealousy and bitterness from the once high flying government contract parasite? Aww, are you still pissed at Clinton for fucking up your life. I gets me how some fat, overpaid, jism-obsessed slug can work up the nerve to bitch about teachers wanting more because they can get it. What kind of Republican is this? It's like Dick Cheney or Snippy Bush have ever done anything that justifies the money they've hauled in over the past 10 years. Look, all they did was take because they figured could. In doing so, I think we can all agree, they probably broke some laws. But, hey, that's okay with our rube. But heaven forbid the teachers ask for a raise. What an ignorant asshole.

My two cents are: These teachers are all rightly demanding more because they can. The Bush Education legislation is to blame. Being a teacher today is akin to being A Halliburton or Harken executive in the 90s. Except we're talking about thousands, not millions. And we're also talking about leverage, not theft.

My two cents are: While I was out the teachers union was turned down for a raise. In the meantime the food service and custodians got pay increases settled. This was because, according to the Mrs., the food service is a self-sufficient profitable profit center and the school board knows better than to P.O. the janitorial staff as well as the ones who handle their food. Meantime teachers are complaining they're not getting any raise while conveniently forgetting about their COLA. When you look at the job situation they ought to be humbly grateful they're even getting that.

And, of course, no more hard scrabble time in Afghanistan.

My two cents are: "...Daschle & Co. have attempted make SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt the poster boy for the scandal, charging he was too cozy with the auditing industry. 'That cozy permissive relationship has to end and he in large measure has orchestrated that in the last 18 months,' Mr. Daschle recently said on CBS' 'Face The Nation.' Eighteen months? Orchestrated? Mr. Pitt has been on the job for less than a year. The Senate confirmed him unanimously (even Mr. Daschle did not oppose him) on July 24, 2001. And these scandals were breaking months before that vote and go back years before that. News of Tyco International's restated earnings deficit went back several years. Global Crossing's abuses began in 1997. Enron's phony earnings numbers now appear to have occurred in 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000. WorldCom's abuses started in 1999, at least. And we all know on whose watch these deceptions occurred, don't we?..."

My two cents are: So, if you can believe the polls (and I have my doubts) the public perceives the Enron executives and former impeached and disbarred president BJ Clinton as more unethical and illegal than the entire Bush administration. On the personal level, Bush's ethics are viewed as superior to both Hillary Clinton (i.e. Whitewater) and Al Gore (i.e. numerous instances of illegal fund raising). Quite an eye opener for sure, if true. Keep beating that Enron drum. The louder the better, for Bush. - Glint

My two cents are: John Bolton, undersecretary of state for arms control, caused a stir in May by accusing the Cuban government of transferring bioweapons technology to rogue nations. Nineteen months ago, he caused a different stir -- bursting into a Tallahassee library on behalf of the Bush-Cheney campaign to stop a recount of Miami-Dade County ballots. Matt Schlapp, a former congressional aide, is currently White House special assistant to the president and deputy director of political affairs. In November 2000, he was part of the supposedly spontaneous window-pounding protest at Miami-Dade County Hall that brought to an end the first recount of Miami-Dade ballots. Sue Cobb, a Coral Gables developer, today is the U.S. ambassador to Jamaica. Twenty months ago, the generous Republican donor volunteered her legal skills to the Bush-Cheney campaign -- working as part of the legal team that contested recounts in Miami-Dade. Although they now serve President George W. Bush in sharply different roles, the three share a common experience. They are among more than 50 political appointees found by The Herald to have served as troops in the frantic Florida recount battle that followed the Nov. 7, 2000 election. Political patronage has long been a reward for campaign loyalty. But the distribution of plum jobs to those who worked in Florida after the 2000 election suggests that service became a kind of political merit badge that carried a special benefit. ''Work on the recount is the indispensable connection for work at the Bush administration,'' said Jeffrey Toobin, author of Too Close to Call: The 36-Day Battle to Decide the 2000 Election. Just how many Bush appointees actually served the Bush-Cheney campaign here is not clear. The White House declined to provide a list of who in the administration actually worked for the campaign in Florida. Florida lawyer Barry Richard, a Democrat who was hired by the Bush campaign to fight its legal battle over the recount, said there were 192 lawyers of record on various court cases around the state. To identify the appointees, The Herald conducted dozens of interviews and studied White House nominations and government staff directories -- then matched names to news accounts, photo captions and several books about the episode. In addition, some appointees included their recount roles in news releases, or accounts in university and law journals. http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/3656186.htm

Roberts. Lesar says Cheney knew that the firm was counting projected cost-overrun payments as revenues, "The vice president was aware of who owed us money, and he helped us collect it," Lesar tells Newsweek. The firm says it has always accounted for overrun revenues the way it does now, but the amounts weren't significant until the end of 1998. "We stand behind the accounting treatment," Lesar said.

My two cents are: What did Bush know? Bartlett, his communications director, said of the decision to sell Aloha that Bush and other board members "gave management the discretion to execute the transaction and negotiate the details, but not every board member was involved in those negotiations." As to Bush and the disputed accounting, Bartlett said the audit committee was briefed after the fact about the write-downs resulting from SEC objections. "I can't tell you if there was any other meeting in which they discussed the details of how they were going to account for the sale," he said. "I can't say definitively. This is based on the material I have."
Ahh. The material you have. Of course.

My two cents are: The first installment on the loan, for $1 million, wasn't due until mid-1992, three years after the purchase, but Harken accounted for the sale as a $7.9 million capital gain for 1989. The move enabled it to keep its losses down to $3.3 million that year. Harken's outside auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP, approved the company's annual report to the SEC as a fair presentation of Harken's financial position. The SEC's accountants didn't see it that way and told the company to restate its earnings. In 1991, Harken filed an amended report for 1989, stating that as a result of "discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission's accounting staff," it was no longer counting the $7.9 million as a gain for 1989. As a result of "the change in accounting method" and other restatements, Harken said in a footnote, its losses for that year were actually $12.6 million. What did Bush know?

My two cents are: Bush's service on the Harken board has drawn attention in other ways as the recent wave of revelations about accounting fraud unfolded. In 1989, Harken sold a subsidiary, Aloha Petroleum Ltd., by lending money to the buyer. Harken then declared the amount as a cash gain, masking massive losses on its balance sheet. Critics call it reminiscent of Enron Corp.'s accounting gimmicks, although the White House contends the Harken situation was different in scope and intent. At his news conference, Bush told reporters who asked about his Aloha role that they "need to look back on the director's minutes." His aides then refused to release the minutes, saying they did not have them and would not ask Harken for them. Texas newspaper accounts show aides took the same position in 1994. Aloha Petroleum, a retail gasoline subsidiary in Hawaii, was picked up in 1986 as part of Harken's purchase of Aloha's parent company, E-Z Serve Inc., which had about 900 retail outlets. The deal gave Harken numerous tax advantages. By 1989, Harken had financial problems. E. Stuart Watson, then a Harken board member, said he thought the Harken executives "were nuts." "They were engaging in hedging operations, trying to protect themselves in the purchase and sale of gasoline and oil, and man, they were losing millions," he said. Eager to "redeploy assets," as the company later put it in a report to the SEC, Harken sold for $12 million an 80 percent interest in Aloha to a company that was one of its major shareholders. The purchaser, Intercontinental Mining and Resources Ltd., two of whose directors were also on Harken's board, paid $1 million in cash and submitted an $11 million IOU.

My two cents are: Bush had many family connections to the investigation. The SEC's general counsel at the time was James R. Doty, who represented Bush in his purchase of the Texas Rangers. Doty recused himself. Bush was represented in the SEC case by Jordan, who had been law partners with Doty and now is Bush's ambassador to Saudi Arabia. The SEC chairman was Richard C. Breeden, nominated by Bush's father. Several former SEC officials said they found it unusual that Bush and other board members were not interviewed during the inquiry. William R. McLucas, a Washington lawyer who was SEC enforcement director at the time, said he has no reservations about the process. "We were free to interview him -- his counsel certainly made that crystal clear," he said. "If you determine that the information wasn't material, you can talk to somebody under the hot lights for 10 hours, what's it going to get you?" McLucas acknowledged that investigators knew they were investigating the president's son. "They know who George Bush is, for God's sake -- they don't live on the planet Mars," he said. "But these are hungry, aggressive, hopefully fair-minded people."

My two cents are: Bush sent the SEC a notice of his intention to sell but filed his disclosure of the actual sale 34 weeks late. In explaining why, Bush said during his Texas campaigns that the SEC lost the form; his aides now say it was a mix-up between Bush and Harken lawyers. "I still haven't figured it out completely," he said at last week's news conference. The SEC opened a formal inquiry into Bush's sale in April 1991. The investigators said in an internal 1992 memo that the available evidence showed Bush "was not aware of the majority of the items that comprised the loss Harken announced" shortly after his sale. "Based upon our investigation, it appears that Bush did not engage in illegal insider trading because it does not appear that he possessed material nonpublic information," the memo said. Courts say information is material if a reasonable investor would consider it significant in deciding to buy or sell. An SEC analysis noted, as an exculpatory factor for Bush, that Harken's stock recovered shortly after the losses were announced. The SEC left open the possibility that it would reconsider the case if new information became available, and Democrats have pointed to that in arguing that Bush was never cleared. An Oct. 18, 1993, letter from the SEC Enforcement Division to Robert W. Jordan, Bush's lawyer, said "no enforcement action is contemplated." It then adds, in a quotation from securities regulations that was set off from the body of the letter and that SEC officials said was boilerplate, the standard caution that a case's termination "must in no way be construed as indicating that the party has been exonerated."

My two cents are: Harken minutes list Bush as attending a March 14, 1990, audit committee meeting at which a "significant supply and trading loss and other accounting issues" were discussed. An April 20, 1990, memo to the board from Harken President Mikel D. Faulkner, addressed "Gentlemen," warned of a "liquidity crisis." Other internal Harken documents from the period refer to a "severe cash crisis" and "critically-tight cash flow." The flash report Bush was sent 16 days before his stock sale, which was for the week ending May 31, 1990, projected losses for the second quarter of about $4 million. Ralph D. Smith, a broker for Sutro & Co. in Los Angeles who retired five years ago, said he approached Bush and other Harken stockholders and told them he had an institutional client who wanted to buy a large number of Harken shares. "At the first conversation, he said not at that time but maybe in a couple of weeks he might be able to," Smith said. "In a couple of weeks, we still had the buyer. So I called him and he said yes, that he'd checked with the corporate counsel, that it was okay for him to sell. I then checked with corporate counsel, also, to make sure he could." Bush told The Washington Post in 1999, "I was mindful that this transaction would be completely scrutinized. I knew the law and I sold at a time that I was cleared."

My two cents are: Bush had hoped to use a news conference last Monday to preview his package of proposals for reining in corporate executives. Instead he was asked repeatedly about his record in Harken's boardroom. "This is recycled stuff," he said. "I guess we're going to have to go through this again in the 2002 campaign. But nothing has changed." Bush, who sat on Harken's audit committee, has said he did not know about the extent of the losses later reported for the quarter in which he sold the stock. If he had, he could have been subject to charges that he profited from insider information. "I absolutely had no idea and would not have sold had I known," he told the Dallas Morning News in 1994. The White House said only Harken's executive committee, which did not include Bush, knew about the size of the losses that took investors by surprise when the second-quarter earnings were reported Aug. 20, 1990. Other board members, including Bush, knew part of the story. "They knew that there were going to be some losses -- in the neighborhood of $9 million, not $22 million," White House communications director Dan Bartlett said.

My two cents are: The Harken trade was one of many turning points in Bush's life that showed golden timing, or uncommon luck, and the circumstances have tormented him since. During his winning campaign to unseat Texas Gov. Ann Richards (D) in 1994, she repeatedly accused him of getting an SEC whitewash because he was a president's son. Now, the sale is a major reason President Bush has been flummoxed in his efforts to respond convincingly to the corporate accounting scandals that have contributed to a bear market on Wall Street and turned a recovering economy into a faltering one. The episode also has caused critics to question Bush's credibility and candor. Bush aides refused, both in 1994 and last week, to call on the SEC to release its full file on the investigation.

My two cents are: Although Bush has maintained over the years that the size of the losses took him by surprise, interviews and internal Harken documents provide a newly detailed picture of how much Bush knew about Harken's financial straits when he sold the stock. A confidential Harken chronology, obtained by the nonpartisan Center for Public Integrity, said that 16 days before he sold the stock, Bush was sent the company's "weekly flash report," giving "information provided by subsidiaries regarding estimated historical and projected earnings." Asked about the document, a White House official said Bush thought the company was going to lose about $9 million in the quarter. That would have been four times as much as the company lost in the previous quarter but not nearly as much as it did lose. As it turned out, the company lost $23 million for the period, according to an earnings report made public two months after Bush sold. SEC investigators knew Bush had seen the flash report but still dropped the case. Bush agreed to be interviewed by the SEC, but the investigators did not take him up on it, provoking skepticism from some government officials about their thoroughness. The latest information leaves unresolved whether Bush knew his biggest asset was about to shrink and unloaded before other investors found out, or whether he sold only because, as he says, he wanted to pay off his loan.

My two cents are: By Mike Allen and George Lardner Jr. Washington Post Staff Writers Sunday, July 14, 2002; Page A01 The thrill of standing at the pitcher's mound on opening day as the new managing partner of the Texas Rangers baseball club was one year old for George W. Bush. As he looked toward politics, Bush wanted to pay off a $500,000 loan he had taken to buy into the team. It was 1990, and his father was president. The younger Bush, who joked in his oil-patch days about being "all name and no money," was short on cash. He did have one asset big enough to retire the loan: a block of stock in Harken Energy Corp., a Texas oil and gas explorer. Harken had bought out Bush's failing drilling company in 1986, put him on its board and hired him as a consultant. So Bush sold most of his Harken stock -- 212,140 shares at $4 a share, or $848,560, on June 22, 1990. Two months later, Harken announced huge losses for the quarter ending June 30, and its stock price plunged. The Securities and Exchange Commission investigated Bush for insider trading but found no case.

My two cents are: I also thought Enron itself had legs. No more. Turns out Enron was the mere tip of the iceberg that grows huger every hour. Guess we jumped the gun with "Enrongate." Need a bigger word for a bigger scandal. Or, we could play small ball with "Cheneygate" and "Harkengate," just add new "gates" for every horror that turns up. But that would make Glint's mashed, swollen head spin right off.

My two cents are: Interesting paste demonstrating the bias in calling Judicial Watch "conservative." I particularly like the compare-and-contrast with the BBC's not calling Judicial Watch "conservative." This media bias thing is a slam dunk.

My two cents are: It's about corruption in the media. They call Judicial Watch consevative, and worst of all, they have the absolute nerve to call the Sierra Club "environmental!" What next? Are they going to start calling Bob Barr a "nut?" Will be seeing them call Tom DeLay a "slimey turd?"

My two cents are:

"... And what went then goes triple this time round. Enron was comparatively easy: it was an energy company, from Texas, whose rise had coincided (more or less) with Bush's governorship. Connect the dots, implied the Dems, and what you have here is the worst example of the Texas wildcattin' business culture from which this oil stooge President emerged. But they couldn't make it stick. And the terrain is far less favourable in the current crop of scandals. For one thing, it's not a shady energy company, but a diverse portfolio - telecommunications, biotech, pharmaceuticals, and even Christmas spice balls and cockscomb topiary (among the fallen corporate idols is America's happy homemaker Martha Stewart, supposedly being investigated for insider dealing - or, as she would say, 'Here's a stock deal I made earlier)...."
- Sunday, July 14, 2002 at 12:59:57 (EDT)
My two cents are:

"...C'mon, you must remember, [ENRON] was a H-U-G-E Presidency-detonating scandal just six months ago, back when CNN's graphics department were dusting off everyone's favourite suffix and running up little 'ENRONGATE' logos, and the New York Times was assuring us that 'questions were being raised'. As I wrote in January: 'The only "question" really being "raised" is: How can we pin this on Bush? Short answer: You can't.'..." - Sunday, July 14, 2002 at 12:51:07 (EDT)
My two cents are: "...Judicial Watch, according to the BBC News, is an 'anti-corruption group'. 'Anti-corruption': how noble! A couple of years ago, when Judicial Watch were suing Bill Clinton every other week, the BBC described them only as 'a Right-wing lobby group' and the US media, when they mentioned them at all, did so only to dismiss them as a bunch of crazies..." According to the Telegraph the British Bull Crap (BBC) liberal bias is just as thick or thicker over there across the pond.

My two cents are:

Came home on Friday and the family was acting mighty strange. Giggling behind my back, that sort of thing. Then I dicsovered the bag of catnip mice on the kitchen island counter. So it looks like we're the latest family on this page to have a new kitten from the pound. The wife tried to smooth things over by talking about the 30 day no questions asked return policy. That helped some. Doxy's not too thrilled however. Guess we'd better snap a pic or two for the pet page. - Sunday, July 14, 2002 at 12:11:00 (EDT)
My two cents are:

"...The two groups that filed the suit, the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch and the environmental group Sierra Club, must present on July 19 their request for documents..." - quoted at 15:43:05. Thanks for posting that perfect example of Liberal bias in the news media. Judicial Watch is a "conservative" watch dog group, which happens to launch suit after suit against both liberal and conservative politicians. Yet on the other hand, the tree hugging Sierra Club is an "environmental group." The bias is easy to find except for those whose eyescales have not yet detached. - Sunday, July 14, 2002 at 12:02:08 (EDT)
My two cents are: "Other characters that populate my work life include 'the penguin'..." I worked with a guy with the same sort of disorder. Made up names for all the people at work. My boss was "Penguin." Sometimes we'd be walking down the hall and my boss would come up waving his arms about some crisis. The guy would stand behind him with his arms down at his sides, hands flapping up and down, stiff body weaving back and forth, walking around on his heels. Before you knew it I'd had all I could take and would double over in an involuntary belly laugh. A little big like the dry heaves. There was another guy he used to call "Poindexter." Was killed on that Air Florida flight that hit the bridge and sunk in the Potomac River.

My two cents are: Rub-a-Dub in the Hot Tub By MAUREEN DOWD ASHINGTON � Dick and Rummy are in the Jacuzzi at Camp David. The two masters of the Bush universe have had a lousy week. And now, with the white cast on Rummy's hand buoyed by bubbles, they just want to sip Scotch on the rocks and review the knocks. They are keeping one eye on the Kid, who's been jogging circles around Aspen Lodge for the past nine hours. Junior is supposed to be inside practicing how to say "mal-fea-sance" with an "s." But he won't do it. He's sulking. He went to Wall Street on Tuesday to show that the hero of Sept. 11 could retaliate against the creeps who wiped out the neighborhood and also keep C.E.O.'s from looting. But the president who got elected on the backs of C.E.O.'s and said he wanted to run the country like a C.E.O. was about as convincing a sheriff as Barney Fife. Rummy's war has also run into a bad patch, bombing brides instead of bin Laden. As the two men soak, more steam is coming from the vice president than the hot tub. "The Kid never should have gone to Wall Street in the first place," Dick grumbles. "All those poppycock reforms he and Rove rushed into the speech. Who knew our Karl was also a Marxist? When the going gets tough, the weak go polling. Who cares what Americans think? They should care what we think." W. jogs past with a singsong chant: "It's NOT my fault, it's NOT my fault, it's BUBBA'S fault, it's BUBBA'S fault." Dick and Rummy laugh indulgently. "SWAT teams swooping down on C.E.O.'s?" Dick scoffs. "What nonsense. Will government lawyers ride around in stealth golf carts and read these guys their rights on the back nine? "We certainly don't need more transparency in this country. Transparency is just a fancy kind of indecent exposure, a sick counterculture idea, whether it's about the markets, accounting or giving up the names of our Houston buddies who dictated my energy policy. I say: Zip it. "We don't owe anybody any explanation for any thought or action that any of us have ever had or done." Rummy grins devilishly and skillfully balances his glass on his cast in a silent toast. "Those lily-livered liberals in Congress are outrageous � they're criminalizing greed!" Dick says. "And the spineless Republican fellow travelers on the Hill are almost worse � they'll dry up our donor base and destroy the party before they're through. McCain is just Norman Thomas with medals. "I have nothing against sharing, of course. As long as it's us getting the shares. "Our strategy is to slow down the House and Senate so these stiffer accounting and corporate-greed bills never see the light of day. Maybe you guys could accelerate your war on Baghdad. A righteous distraction would come in handy." The Pentagon boss indicates with a nod of his cast that this is possible. "Bunch of anticapitalist, world-government-loving wusses," Rummy says. "They don't understand how tough we had it as C.E.O.'s. It's lonely at the top." Junior jogs over to the Jacuzzi and tries to get Vice's attention. "Dude?" Dick waves him off and resumes his rant: "All that stands between America and socialism are stock options. Without options, companies can't lure great leaders who will take risks � with other people's money, of course. If Congress got its way, when the stock went down, the C.E.O. would lose money just like everyone else. But we are not everyone else." The president tries again to get Dick's attention: "Dude?" Dick goes on, his dander rising. "I'm sick and tired of these Sunday morning pinkos trying to impoverish the ruling class. People should get off my back about the way I cashed out of Halliburton. What's $20 million these days?" Rummy is astonished. For the first time in the many decades he has known Dick, his friend's face is no longer affectless. Dick gives the impression of something that can only be called emotion. But the Kid has finally lost patience. He jumps into the Jacuzzi, barely missing Rummy's cast, and sloshes right over to Vice, leaning into his ear and wailing plaintively: "Where's Karen?"

Your average Jap figures that he was protecting his national interests, and (let's call a spade a spade) the United States Pacific Fleet was not in the Japanese national interest, back in those days. So they sunk the fleet, the battleships anyway. Is that so wrong? Cindy, let's learn to live in the new millenium, and kick the shit out of Saddam Hussein when he's not looking. We can roll this bastard all the way up to his lair in Baghdad, if it's OK with the Saudis. We'll go down in history as a nation that can learn a lesson. Jap or be Japped. Fuck everyone.

My two cents are: We, the people of America, the Sheeple, as glorified in the Founding Documents, chose to render statehood unto Hawaii. Look, I was just a kid, I bear no burden of guilt. It was a sweet deal, except that where did it get us? A goddamn Jap senator, that's where it got us. Why not invite them in to do the hula-hula in the halls of Congress, and finger their ukes? F*cking rock out in the middle of the ocean. But I'll tell you why Hawaii got to be a state. It was because it was a symbol of how America will fuck you if you fuck with America. Remember Pearl Harbor. The Jap decided that it would be reasonable policy to hit us by sea and by air, if not by land. In a word, they Japped us at Pearl. So we kicked their ass and burned their fucking little country to the bones. Nuked the son-of-a-bitches twice, just to let them know who was boss. Why? It was because of their slimy Jap sneak attack. If Yamamoto were still alive, maybe we could ask him how to deal with these inconvenient Iranes. But we read the code, found out where the son-of-a-bitch would be flying, and shot his Jap ass out of the sky. You could look it up, those of you who don't know any history. OK, the worm turns. But we are the good guys. And Saddam knows we're coming, he just doesn't know where we'll hit. The guy is sleeping, like the American Giant in 1941. Let's Jap him, and let's Jap him so he stays Japped.

My two cents are: I think his willingness to go to LAX not one, but four times, exhonerates the haole. It's as if he'd stepped off the train into Fannan Street a quarter-dozen times. By such acts shall your Americansism be known, not by whether you have a driver's license and a Social Security card. What is it to be an American? Are we all just Midnight Cowboys charging into a cold, hard century that writes "Yankee Go Home" on the walls of the psyche? I think not. No, I don't think America has to eat shit for being better than everyone else, for liberating the world in 1945, and again in 1992, when the Cold War was finally won with the election of Bill Clinton. Does America still posess the right to say to foreigners, "bite it?" I think so. We are better than them. Let me qualify that by saying that our trailer trash and low-lifes are better than theirs. Our presidents and vice-presidents? Well, give me a break here. I'm talking Average Joe America here, not the Snippistas. Sure, we'll come to your country and pour ketchup all over the fried potatoes, but we will never lie to you. We will wear our cowboy hats in your fine restaurants, but we will never buttfuck you. This is how America is different. What, you think we're a bunch of camel salesmen or something, like the rag-heads? Get a clue. Grow a brain. Foreigners are the E-nemy of America. We should hose them all.

My two cents are: Personally, I think Pete is a poor, pathetic asshole witthout a country. I mean, the only actual "connections" he has to the USA are college days in Colorado, high above where real Americans live and a couple years in San Francisco, which isn't America, more like some weird gay, Asian and liberal Disneyland. That, and the accident of "statehood" that these little islands -as far away from America as Iceland is- were needed as a "state" just to make the design of the flag more like it was in after the Alaska Deal. Pete is only "American" in the most tenuous way. Besides, he dodged the military back when other immigrant types with just as tenuous connection to America, were still giving their lives, ironically, in a distant land worse than the one they had left to come to this country. Finally, Pete is a white man in a land where his ilk are called bad names, are repressed and where there's even an annual "hoale" hunting day. Geesh, indeed. No, Pete is no American any more than is the Jamaican school teacher. No matter how much of an LAX binge he goes on.

My two cents are: Here's a sort of d�noeument for the trogs. The reason I haven't kept up the franitic pace of posting here over the last half hour or so is that a guy came to my door peddling those "protected by x security systems" signs that they put on your front lawn in hopes that you will subscribe to the service and pay someone to watch your "stuff" for you while you're away. Got to sporting with the guy, and it turns out he's Jamaican, went to college, used to teach English and Social Studies in Jamaica, and has just recently been let into the country as an immigrant by the INS. I try to explain to him that selling door to door in a Mexican neighborhood isn't what he should be doing. I give him a few phone numbers and fill up his water bottle, he sits on the floor and I sit in my leather chair and we talk. I can tell he's what he says he is and not just some random rasta. This guy is selling burglar systems door to door, a Jamaican in the country for a month, and doesn't have a clue about the phone number of the Teacher Credential Commission, where I got my teacher credentials back in '73 by going in and telling them who I was and what I done. This guy, Joe, I tell him that there isn't a school district in the tri-county area that doesn't want a qualified Jamaican school-teacher with all the local splibs fixated on crack cocaine and the e-markets. I tell him to call them, and he counters with maybe he should go in and talk to them face to face in the Carribean manner, I mean this guy sitting on my floor is good. I tell him about my grandmother who came to this country fourteen years old all alone to work as a maid in Duluth. Man, I pumped this Jamaican door-to-door guy up good, and gave him my federal government phone number card and a vote of confidence and advice to get the fuck out of what he's doing, he's proved his point. So what does it all mean? It means I'd trade sixteen Republican senators and the whole crooked American Bush administration* for this one immigrant who is willing to walk door-to-door in 110 degrees F in the shit job of the world, if I were trading on the future of America. Jamaica Joe has more natural balls in his left gnarly than the whole fucking Bush administration ever heard about, and I welcome him as a fellow future citizen, to make up for our genetic failures from Kennebunkport.

My two cents are: good URL there, RAIDERS. It looks to me as if a new phrase is going to enter into the lexicon, alongside "read my lips." And what is that new phrase?

In the corporate world, mind you.

My two cents are: Of course, there is always the possibility that none of this has legs. I can come up mellow behind that, because Snippy has been a great President for eight months or so, after his initial fright-and-flight reaction, which was explained to my satisfaction by Karl Rover. Like any good American I want to wrap myself and the country up in Snippy's flag, so if that becomes the popularly-accepted option then hey, I'm there along with the rest of you. But isn't it neat the way the stock market tanking changes the hand of cards everyone is playing? Stay tuned.

- Saturday, July 13, 2002 at 17:51:37 (EDT)
My two cents are: The way this game now plays, is that poor Harvey Pitt tries to keep the lid on Cheney's crimes. There is an increasing chorus of shame and doom and honesty from the increasingly politicized and outraged citizenry, and the intelligent Republicans start to join in. At some point, Pitt is fired and replaced with a conciliator, who proceeds to review the Cheney case. Then, in the Night of the Long knives, Pitt's succesor is sacked. Four or five Administration toadies then resign, to distance themselves and maybe stay alive to make a buck. There is such a shitstorm that a new SEC chairman is appointed, a Harvey Cox type, who goes after Cheney even harder. I've seen this Republican Presidency thing happen before. We'll have the search for something like the 17 1/2-minute tape, and new revelations, and officials compromised, and finally Snippy will be hounded from office, and nobody will give a shit, because he was just a cheerleader pulled from the bench to front Halliburton. And he'll try the big Nixon spastic wave from the helicopter door, and sky off to Kennebunkport, and the ranch in Crawford will turn up in the multiple listings. Never wanted to be a cowboy anyway. This is going to be worth the Supreme Court decision stopping the election.

My two cents are: I guess that is why fornigate was attractive. A site that was from the start devoted to the self-immolation of Republicanis. Oriented around the right-wingers' weird strategy of bringing down a President because had been blown by a young girl and not explained it to the voters. Fornigate has been a vindication of Clintonism, however slimey Clintonism ever got, which was so much better than how the happenstance of history treated America back in 1968. All those good breaks for the country shot and killed, so that the consummate evil of Richard Nixon could re-birth itself, and we all had to march back toward the dark ages for twenty or thirty years. Think of how good things could be if a few people people hadn't been shot and killed, how many long-dead Viet Namese peasants and Cambodian peasants would be enjoying their old ages today, how may Americans who were boys then would be alive or still have their arms or legs or balls. Think of how we could have tried to figure out how to do this thing right rather than spend thirty years involved in the greed and petty superstitions of the American "conservatives." Almost enough to make you think that George Bush I had written the script.

My two cents are: I had had maybe a year in the woods cabin when Clinton was elected, in a squeaker. I remember listening to the Clinton-Bush-Perot debates on the NPR, and then voting for Clinton to cancel out some other vote in that backwoods county, and then rolling in at night on election day and hearing Bush had conceded. What a rush! A guy my age, except he didn't inhale, but a guy I understood, taking office so long after somebody like Bobby Kennedy should have. A whole interim generational tide of history starting to be made up for. This is what would have happened for America back in the day, if the gods had smiled. It erased Reaganism, and of course poor Jerry Ford, and Nixon, and the elected Bush. A guy who smoked dope, even if he didn't inhale, and who had the balls to not go to Viet Nam! That was a gloating night, that night when Clinton was elected, and it looked as if the anti-blow-job theocrats had suffered a mortal blow.

My two cents are: Well, today is the day I've slotted for finally putting the last of the French door sets in the flivver, and the truck box and wrecking bars and climbing spurs and the pole saw, and going up to the mountain free-hold. No chance of Britney or Pink up there, although some of the neighbors have satellite dishes. I haven't been to the joint since what, May some time, so see the last of the dogwood bloom. But I re-financed and the place now costs me only $500 a month instead of $750, so there's less pressure to go and get my money's worth. When I got the shack, working up there in the woods, Clinton wasn't even running yet, and it seemed like a huge expense compared with the travel trailer I had parked at the office for nothing. But then the damned janitor turned me in, and the feds decided to charge me $30 dollars a month, so buying a cabin became the most viable option. And of course, this was followed by the Clinton prosperity, and though the payment didn't go down the pay went way up, to where $500 or so is not a big weight. But I got to get up there, no matter how fascinating it is to stay down here and watch the Snippy administration self-destruct, which is what I did over the 4th of July holiday.

My two cents are: I mean, the last time I got carded in a liquor store I was 37, and it was by an Okie who later told me he was thirty-five, looked like he'd been out in the sun or something. By now I've picked up the the usual sunspots and scalp exposures and deeper lines and people call me "Sir", which is nice. Young girls are pretty much out of play, although there's always a possibility you'll find one with a grandfather fixation. But then, there are a lot of older dames around who could teach Pink and Britney a thing or two about the inner thigh. Between those two gals, I think that Pink is the more "authentic", but I think Britney has the more talent, all the way around. Brit's problem is that she's a product, something that happened to Jimi Hendrix only after he was dead. I wish her well, whatever she sings.

My two cents are: Well, actually the last one I'd call a "young girl", metaphorically speaking, I was more like 48, and she ran like Snippy when I divulged my age. I always looked a little young for my age, until it caught up with me. Anyway, Vanessa was 27 at the time, but way too hot for an old codger like me. It wasn't the physical part, but the fact that her mother, about my age, was downstairs going over her case histories when the whole house would ring with Vanessa's screams. The sort of woman or young girl who you could sport with for forty-five minutes and then she'd roll over and say, "do me with your hand." And then the screaming would start up again. It was particularly discordant in the morning while grandma was getting the kids' lunches ready downstairs. So I didn't mind too much when I told her my age and she headed for the hills.

My two cents are: Plus, the name Pink irks me. If they call themselves Pink, what other moronics lie in their souls? I think I'll change my name to Orange, of Chartreuse. This is a trick the French "rock" girls used to pull back in the '60's. For instance, there was one back in '66 called "Stone" something, after the Rolling Stones by my guess. I thought it was a ridiculous French habit, like eating snails, until I saw this guy "Stone" Phillips or "Stone" Whatever reading the network news. So you can have your "Pink." Also, in my recollection it was Eric Clapton and Elvis and Johnny Goldsborough you compared Jimi Hendrix to. I never heard of Frampton until Jimi was moldering in the grave.

My two cents are: Well, I seen Britney only in pictures and on the soda ads, but also on Saturday night Live. She seemed pretty well-adjusted, and sang some folkie love songs. Made a sex move or two as a joke thing during the intro. She looks pretty good, nice body, good dancer, a really good voice, but there's something about her face that looks a little goofy at times. I sort of like her for it. Pink, I've heard a cut or two, and there seems to be no intonation there. At least not for me. Nothing subtle anywhere. I guess what Briney has, aside from the fact that she's a lot better-looking than Pink, who is not too ugly, is that chin or neck or whatever it is that lends her a little humanity behind the plastical part. She has a little bit left of a pre-teen never been fingered sort of thing to her. I suppose some big buck is going to come along and take that away, but I think she stands a chance, with her voice and the dance moves, which are important. I ain't no expert on young girls, mind you, last young girl I had anything to do with I was 44. But you have to call them as you see them, no matter what the missus says. Of course, the last missus I was about 37, so maybe my expertise is weak there, too.

And Ms y likes it, says its good (ms y has perfect pitch and a voice like a bell, her taste counts). So I say "Well, now you see why Pink hates Britney, Pinks a better musician and Britney is a fraud compared to her" Says ms y "No, Britney's OK, she does her sex symbol thing along with her singing"....then ...

In demented albiet putrely personal protest, I began to listen to other stations. Decided if music was going to suck, it might as well really suck so I started listening to a station that plays madonna, cher, britney etc. Except that it's a dance music station, plays some old tom tom club and other cool stuff. And Pink. Pink is pretty good, especially that new tune "Just Like A Pill." here's other stuff, techno dj like sasha and digweed and basement jax and dirty vegas.

My two cents are: A recent CNN/USA Today poll showed his approval ratings for his handling of the economy falling from 72 percent last October to 58 percent now. A poll by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press found 62 percent believed Bush could do more on the economy, with only 33 percent saying he has done as much as possible. If public confidence in the economy continues to waver into the fall, analysts said it would be a huge boost for Democrats, who have blamed the reemergence of budget deficits on Bush's $1.35 trillion tax cut. Republicans counter that Bush's tax cut helped the United States recover from the twin shocks of a recession and the Sept. 11 attacks. They blame a surge in government spending advocated by Democrats, not lower taxes, for the red ink.

My two cents are: By Dana Milbank Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, July 13, 2002; Page A05 A federal judge chastised the Bush administration for seeking "aggrandizement of executive power" in a ruling that allows a lawsuit seeking information about the administration's energy policy to proceed. The two groups that filed the suit, the conservative watchdog Judicial Watch and the environmental group Sierra Club, must present on July 19 their request for documents and depositions of administration officials before a ruling on Aug. 2. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said it is a "distinct possibility" that the group will seek to depose Vice President Cheney, who led the administration's energy task force, as well as Cabinet members and staff. But a Sierra Club lawyer, David Bookbinder, said depositions are not likely "in the first round."
Oh, no, not the energy policy! The switch itself!

My two cents are: President Bush's top official on corporate crime and responsibility was a director of a credit card company that paid more than $400 million to settle allegations of consumer and securities fraud. Larry D. Thompson, deputy attorney general and head of a new multi-agency corporate-crime task force, was a Providian Financial Corp. board member and chairman of its audit and compliance committee from June 1997 until his unanimous confirmation by the Senate on May 10, 2001.

My two cents are: I'll tell you another thing, too. I was never so popular in the workaday world, such a hale fellow well met, before I got this here job where part of it is to pour the slops in the trough and choose which piggies get to crowd around. Used to be, everyone sort of shunned me, and said,"best to keep away from that bitter, vitriolic bastard." Now, when they see me coming, they discretely wipe off their hands on the back of their pants, so they can give me a firm, dry handshake. It has mellowed me, and made me a kinder, more decent civil servant.

My two cents are: Well, I have to confess at this time that I am a person who has arranged many a federal consulting or services contract, many a cooperative agreement, and even a grant or two or three. And I can state, unequivocably, or damn near unequivocably, that the process leaves no room for personal prediclictions. What you're stuck with is what you get. Tilting one way or the other, or having the same consultant write the contract specs and then bid on the contract probably happens no more than 90 percent of the time, and may well be against the rules. Nobody ever explained me any rules, so I'm guessing here.... Say you're banging some bimbo, say she happens to be a Program Manager at one of the consultants, and your job is to select or not select her proposal... are you going to lean one way or the other? I don't THINK so, dude. Not bloody likely.

My two cents are: Look, wiseguy. Of course Cheney played no role. To do so would have been wrong, akin to influence peddling, at least in appearance. No, Cheney was right to recuse himself from Halliburton's dealing with the federal government. Besides, he was probably too busy just doing the things big-time CEOs do, which does NOT include trading on 25 years of service to the nation. It's like church and state, stupid. Ne'er the twain shall meet. Grow a brain stem!

My two cents are: How right you are, Gus. Like I always tell the gals down the shop, Superintendant DeLay, he was an adult, and he had character. A lot like the Vice-president. He never played no role, like you say, except maybe a tiny little role that never would have made him choose who was going to re-roof the schoolhouse, one way or the other.

My two cents are: By JEFF GERTH and DON VAN NATTA Jr. The New York Times WASHINGTON, July 12 The Halliburton Company, the Dallas oil services company bedeviled lately by an array of accounting and business issues, is benefiting very directly from the United States efforts to combat terrorism. From building cells for detainees at Guant�namo Bay in Cuba to feeding American troops in Uzbekistan, the Pentagon is increasingly relying on a unit of Halliburton called KBR, sometimes referred to as Kellogg Brown & Root. Although the unit has been building projects all over the world for the federal government for decades, the attacks of Sept. 11 have led to significant additional business. KBR is the exclusive logistics supplier for both the Navy and the Army, providing services like cooking, construction, power generation and fuel transportation. The contract recently won from the Army is for 10 years and has no lid on costs, the only logistical arrangement by the Army without an estimated cost. The government business has been well timed for Halliburton, whose stock price has tumbled almost two-thirds in the last year because of concerns about its asbestos liabilities, sagging profits in its energy business and an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission into its accounting practices back when Vice President Dick Cheney ran the company. The government contracts, which the company said Mr. Cheney played no role in helping Halliburton win, either while he led the company or after he left, offer the prospect of a long and steady cash flow that impresses financial analysts.
No, no role at all. Yeah, that's the ticket! None.

My two cents are: The exhausted astronomer leaned on his branch, breathing heavily. The sound of gourds and bones crused in the all-devouring maw of Jesus echoed in his mind. It had sounded like gourds, he mused. Small, wrinkled, soft new gourds in a gourd patch. Gourds almost like large prunes, like the jism-creating, strangely off-centered gonads that the Second-ever Impeached President had thrust into the dewey-eyed vision of a young lady expecting only tea, and perhaps a scone or two, late at night in that hotel room that the troopers had ordered her to find and enter. And then, that tiny voice in the back of the astronomer's mind, that tiny troubling voice. Was it really Star Wars, and the drug radar contract, and the finance business? Was it really the economy, or was it the gourds, stupid?

My two cents are: WHACK! The heavy branch thudded into the prostrate man's ear. "That's for Star Wars, you evil spawn of unionized fiends!" THUMP! It made a sound like a gourd, one of the new, soft ones, mixed with the tinkle of transistors, and the crunch of tiny, delicate bones, and brought a grim smirk to the astronomer's lips. "That was for the drug radar.... if it hadn't been for your f*cking union-supported free-humping cob-wagging commander in thief maybe somebody would have paid me to iron out the targeting bugs-- so that's for every Seventh-Day Adventist missionary ever shot down in a small airplane by the Columbian Air Force!" WHOP! Flecks of blood and the burned ends of tiny wires appeared at the prostrate man's ear and sizzled and crackled on the swollen lobe. "That one was for what your c*nt Attorney General did to the finance business, snoring at the switch while the Contract On America was adjusting the securities fraud penalties to encourage job creation! F*ck!" he shouted, "c*nt! P*ssed-over tw*t!" The astirisk-larded obscenities were strangely chilling, reverberating in the cockeyed bole of the crushed gravy boat. "Suffer unto Jesus the blood poured ye out for your sins, not the same old spiritual accounting, if you will," shrieked the man with the spattered branch in a reassuringly avuncular and mellow voice, his head cocked sideways as if listening to instructions from Garner Ted Armstrong in a newscaster's earpiece, "I name thee Peace Dividend, destroyer of armies, looter of air forces, pansifier of marine corpses, dismantler of entire militaries! Let the rod of Jehova chastise thee!" THUD! The terrified hillbilly landowners stared in horror from the back porch, the reek of bay rum scorching their nostrils. "The bubble," their bulging eyes seemed to say, bulging like inflated plastic whales. "This one has come from outside the bubble."

And then there's Fat Slimey. Fat Slimey is this big fat guy that wears cheap polyester slacks, guyaberra shirts, and tennis shoes with his hair all greased back ala 1950's bryl-cream. Fat Slimey talks to me inappropriately, or tries to. There's something unnerving about fat slimey, sort of like sydney greenstreet in maltese falcon.

Played straight in the elections, with John McCain as well as with the Florida Negro. Is a guy with character like that going to pull some stunt that gets him nothing but $16 million worldly bones? Character. It's what leadership is all about. The president said as much in his speech.

My two cents are: Mr. Bush claims that he was "vetted" by the S.E.C. In fact, the agency's investigation was peculiarly perfunctory. It somehow decided that Mr. Bush's perfectly timed stock sale did not reflect inside information without interviewing him, or any other members of Harken's board. Maybe top officials at the S.E.C. felt they already knew enough about Mr. Bush: his father, the president, had appointed a good friend as S.E.C. chairman. And the general counsel, who would normally make decisions about legal action, had previously been George W. Bush's personal lawyer ? he negotiated the purchase of the Texas Rangers. I am not making this up.
So? What's the big deal?

My two cents are: The chairman of the Republican Party of New Mexico said yesterday he was approached by a GOP figure who asked him to offer the state Green Party at least $100,000 to run candidates in two contested congressional districts in an effort to divide the Democratic vote. "I was asked to inform the Green Party" that if the party filed candidates in New Mexico's 1st and 2nd congressional districts, it would get paid in "the six-figure range," said John Dendahl. Dendahl refused to identify the person who made the offer except to say it was a man based in Washington with apparent ties to the Republican Party. Dendahl said he conveyed the offer to officials of the Green Party, who initially showed some interest but ultimately rejected it. "It was a proposal of substance," said Dendahl, who has been party chair for eight years and ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1994. He said he promised the person making the offer to keep his identity secret until the actual contribution to the Green Party was made.

My two cents are: In early 1989, George W. Bush and his fellow board members at Harken Energy Corp. were presiding over a company that was headed south in a hurry. The Dallas-based oil firm had lost millions of dollars placing bad bets on commodity futures. Debt was piling up; red ink was beginning to flow. Harken's executives came up with a novel plan to ease the pain. They would sell a small chain of Hawaiian gas stations called Aloha Petroleum to a group of investors that included Harken's chairman and one of its directors. The buyers would pay $1 million up front, but the accountants would record an immediate $7.9-million profit, enough to erase most of Harken's losses for the year. They made a point of seeking the approval of directors who were not participants in the investor group. Bush, a member of the board's audit committee, signed off on the deal, according to Harken documents. So did the company's outside auditor, Arthur Andersen & Co. But the government challenged and ultimately overturned the accounting method used by Harken to post a gain on the sale. Aloha was sold a second time, and the new buyer extracted big concessions from the company. The initial profit recorded on the sale morphed into a big loss. In the midst of all the maneuvering, Bush sold most of his Harken stock in June 1990.

There seemed to be a direct connection between the increase in funding and the dramatic reduction in street price. Hell, back before there was a war on drugs, flake used to go for upwards of $120/gram. That was back in the late 70s, early 80s. By 1995, it was $60/gram. Go figure.

I used to think he got most of it from his folks, like Neil, but I think he may have worked this all up in his own fervid brain. Of course, the McCarthyite father helped some. I take interest in the fact that those of us who have really been outside the bubble, as opposed to moving off campus, generally become more sympathetic to the shiftless and the non-entrepreneurial, and learn that there but for the grace of God go I. With Glint it seems to be a story of what he deserved and what Clinton took away from him, ignoring the tides of history and stupidity that wash over us all.

Turns out that know-nothingism breeds true, and poor Glint votes what he perceives to be his pocketbook. This doesn't bode well for the snipster. When Glint figures out that it's not going to trickle down on him, he's going to jump to Lyndon LaRouche. These True Believer types are poison for a politician interested in big bucks for his friends and a second term at the same time. I'm predicting that if this particular discussion lasts for another three years we will see Glint voting Democratic, or at least McCainiac.

My two cents are: "Meat-eating fish from China introduced to Maryland waters by pet owner" Fri Jul 12,12:01 PM ET By ANGELA POTTER, Associated Press Writer - ANNAPOLIS, Maryland - Nearly 100 meat-eating fish native to China have been found in a Maryland pond where a pet owner dumped two of them in 2000, state officials said Friday amid concern that the fish will become a major threat to native species. The northern snakehead can grow to be 3 feet (90 centimeters) long and has a voracious appetite. The situation is of special concern to authorities because the Little Patuxent River is about 75 yards (meters) from the pond, and northern snakeheads can live three days out of water and even walk short distances on their fins in search of food. "They can gain a foothold here and begin to proliferate in ways that would displace native organisms," said Eric Schwaab, director of the Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Service. On Thursday, agency officials caught 99 young northern snakeheads by using an electroshock method that stuns them, causing them to float to the surface of the water. "We've said all along that if there are juveniles in there, there would be hundreds or thousands of them," agency spokesman John Surrick said Friday. Two adult fish were released into the Crofton pond two years ago, police said Thursday. State officials learned the species was present in May, when an angler caught a suspicious fish and provided a photo for identification. Since then, biologists have caught several young fish. State officials are setting up a scientific panel to investigate the problem and come up with recommendations to remove the snakeheads from the pond. No charges were filed against the owner of the two original fish, whom police would not identify, because the statute of limitations has expired. "They outgrew the capability of his care, so the individual chose to release them into what he felt was a safe environment," said Capt. Mark Sanders of the Maryland Natural Resources police.

My two cents are: Shirley, I�m amazed that you would even THINK that I�d entertain the notion of attending a reunion. From Kindergarten on, I was humiliated and beaten on a daily basis. In grade school, prior to lunch, the watercress sandwiches and Hunt�s Snack-Pack� peaches that my mother would lovingly pack each morning were taken and replaced with a single mitten swiped from the lost and found box. In middle school, my pants were pulled down and all the kids mocked my Yogi Bear boxers. Other times, I was dragged into the shower and held � fully clothed � under cold running water. I also remember the time I was stripped naked and forced to run a gauntlet of Girl Scouts assembled in the school library. Those were horrible things you did to me, Shirley, even if they did get you elected class president.

No, Curt was neither a "fox" nor particularly ugly. His one noticeable quirk, other than the St. Vitus Dance, was to always carry a Mason jar and to walk around the inside of the schoolyard fence every recess. Around and around the fence, carrying that Mason jar and his Bible. We never figured out WHAT he was up to.

My two cents are: . Bush initially borrowed $600,000 from a bank where he had been a director, to cover his 1.8 percent interest in the team. At the behest of Bush and his fellow investors, state authorities created the Arlington Sports Facilities Development Authority, which was given the power to expropriate some private land to build the team a new stadium. When some of the homeowners and farmers refused to sell for the low prices being offered, the Authority condemned their land and expropriated it by force of law. It did this with 270 acres of land, even though only about 17 acres were needed for the ballpark. The rest was used for commercial development that made Bush and his friends rich.

My two cents are: About the worst thing that has happened to this country, aside from free blow jobs, is the "toolbar." And the idea that the things that software does have to be though of as "tools" and that a good way to get them done is to roll a "mouse" to a "toolbar", which has "buttons" on it, and "point and click" one of the buttons. Call me a fool, but the knowledge that I have ten fingers that work more or less independently robs me of the volition to wrap five of them around a "mouse" and roll it around to pictures of buttons developed for housewives and morons. So what I do, I "roll up" my "toolbars" so I don't have to look at the fucking things. This also makes the linear type screen (the "window") bigger, so I don't have to "scroll" as much. Thanks anyway, dude.

My two cents are: Yes, that's right: Respected conservatives are actually suggesting that Enron and WorldCom cooked their books because Bill Clinton lied about a blow job. It's not an argument that takes a lot of deep thinking to rebut. First of all, corporate fraud wasn't invented on Clinton's watch. The United States endured a wave of financial scandals in the late '80s as well, at the end of the last Wall Street boom. When Ivan Boesky was arrested for insider trading, Michael Milken was busted for market manipulation, Charles Keating was running a fraudulent savings and loan, and Gordon Gekko was declaring that "greed ... is good," Bill Clinton was an obscure Southern governor, and the man setting the moral tone "at the top" was Ronald Reagan. Maybe Boesky and Milken lost their moral bearings because the Gipper was a divorc� who neglected his children. ... If conservatives are serious about blaming him for Enron and WorldCom, they should focus not on Monica Lewinsky but on the decline in white-collar law enforcement that occurred on his watch. But, if they do, they'll notice that Clinton vetoed the 1995 bill that shielded corporate executives from shareholder lawsuits, and his SEC chief, Arthur Levitt, proposed barring accounting firms from consulting for firms they were simultaneously auditing. Unfortunately, Clinton's veto was overridden-a slight majority of Democrats voted to uphold it, but virtually every congressional Republican voted to override. Levitt's proposal was torpedoed as well.

My two cents are: Months before Bush cashed out most of his stock in June 1990, he had attracted the benign attention of the Gulf sheikdom of Bahrain. The sheiks generously awarded an exclusive offshore drilling contract to Harken ? despite the fact that the small, poorly-run company had neither the experience nor the capital for such a huge venture. The story in today?s Times notes that the Bass oil interests of Fort Worth were completing a deal with Harken to do the real work in Bahrain around the same time that Bush sold his shares. That "good news" about the Bass family briefly pumped Harken?s stock price a month after Bush sold. But the much bigger news was the Bahrain deal itself, which had been announced six months earlier. And apparently it was during the discussions in 1989 with the Bahraini authorities ? which began after Bush Senior became President -- that Harken gave Bush, but no other outside director, another sweetheart loan of $84,000.

But you know, I'll write a sentence or two about cow worship and it will flip over into some new topic that I enjoy elucidating. Then right when the throes of creation are intense the page will automatically do something, and many a mot juste goes down the tube, as I realize I forgot to hit escape. On the other hand, who gives a shit. I don't even scroll back and gloat at my posts any more. The whole thing has become automatic, like hitting a kid with a tree branch.

My two cents are: Mainstream journalists are starting to pose hard questions about George W. Bush?s business career ? the kind of questions that gave way two years ago to more urgent issues like the color of Al Gore?s suits and the "authenticity" of Bill Bradley and John McCain. Wednesday, reporters in the White House press room requested copies of the Harken Energy board minutes from 1989 and 1990. Those are the same minutes that the President urged the press to consult during his Monday press conference. But the answer from the White House communications office is that those minutes won?t be made available

In a situation like that, the past might as well be the present, and the future might as well be the past. Meanwhile, the cows are back in the kitchen, scoffing down all the best turnips. It's not a life to look forward to, and it won't be much of a life to look back on, either. That is, if you believe in looking forward and in looking back, which would be pretty hard to do if it was all rolled up into one big Now bagel, or donut, or whatever.

That's what the third pot is for (that's the nested pots, we're not talking about the ceramic coffee pot).

My two cents are: Sure, it's a pain to keep hammering this, but I'm interested in what a real rube thinks about the Bush-Cheney crimes. Is there some political imperative that excuses these guys, where, for example, the poor kid that sells you bad dope or the gypsy that sells you lawn furniture that is never delivered should fear the law? Just assuming, ad arguendo, that the two fellas are really as they appear to be-- stone crooks. Remember, we're not dealing with college-boy hi-jinks here, such minor matters as frivolous impeachment articles or phoney sexual harrassment or the sort of undecided election that calls for arranged riots of Young Republicans in the Miami-Dade elections office hallways. We have guys here who have, smirking and apparently without a thought for anyone else, cheated people of millions of dollars and put their own stock market into a two or three trillion-dollar slide. Is America's rube landscape going to stay red, or will they get blue?

My two cents are: Bluster about how harshly "those" crooks will be dealt with. Lie about your own deeds. If one lie doesn't work, toss out another. For example, Bush initially blamed the SEC for misplacing for 34 weeks the paperwork on his insider trading in Harken Energy stock that netted him a sweet $850,000�and that was after the SEC had come down on Harken for masking $10 million in losses "by reporting a profit on the sale of a subsidiary to a group of Harken insiders borrowing money from the company itself," as the Washington Post reported, and before Harken's stock dropped from $4 a share to $1 several months after George W. sold his shares. Since that tale no longer flies, now he is saying it was the fault of the company lawyers who ate the homework . . . er, paperwork. As for that investigation into his insider trading, why the SEC "fully vetted" him, whatever that means. The truth is the SEC closed its investigation without taking action. Of course, Poppy Bush being in the White House at the time had nothing to do with that decision, right? But whatever George W. thinks "vetted" means, he didn't exactly get off the hook. The Washington Post on July 2 noted, "The Dallas Morning News has quoted a 1993 letter from the SEC to Bush's lawyer emphasizing that its decision 'must in no way be construed as indicating that (Bush) has been exonerated.'"

"Roadkill Ophelia" - Thursday, July 11, 2002 at 19:20:05 (EDT)
My two cents are: Pastors accused of beating boy turn themselves in 7/9/02 2:03 PM By: Jitin Hingorani Police arrested two pastors of Capitol City Baptist Church accused of beating an 11-year-old child. Now, former church members are speaking out about child disciplinary practices they say were delivered in sermons. With their lawyer present, the Thompson brothers surrendered to police after arrest warrants were issued Monday. Police say the pastors beat an 11-year-old boy with a tree branch last week because he wasn't taking his Bible studies seriously. The boy is still hospitalized, after being in intensive care for five days; his mother wants justice. "He gets me angry, so angry because he didn't have no right to hold him down, and the other one to beat him,� said Norma Arellano. �They don't have a heart." The men's father is the head minister at the church. News 8 Austin asked him what he knew about the incident. "My son would've used a thin switch,� Thompson said. �That I'm positive of. I'm sure of that. I just know my boys that well. My policy would've never been on the back like that, ever. It would've been on the bottom." One woman, who wants to remain unidentified to protect her business, says she's familiar with the church's child disciplinary practices. She said they were preached in Senior Pastor Thompson's sermons. "He would explain how you had to use a rod because the belt didn't do it, because it would just leave lashes. But the rod would get into the soul, would get deep down into the skin," she said. The woman said she was a member of Capitol City Baptist Church for 10 years, but said she left soon after she understood the church's philosophy on what she called "breaking" a child. "Everybody had a different way of telling you how the will is broke,� she said. �Some of them would say the will is broke if they don't move anymore; some of them would say the will is broke if they just faint, if you just spank them until they have no more energy. And I left because I just couldn't take it." Former church members told us if you obey the rules, you can earn a book, What the Bible Says About Child Training, which advocates using a rod as a means of punishment, you could also get your own paddle with holes to inflict more pain. "I don't do this to my children. My husband don't do this to my children. Why should anybody else do this to my kids?" Arellano said. It�s a question police are asking the suspects in this case. Joshua and Caleb Thompson have been charged with injury to a child, a first-degree felony. If found guilty, the men could be sentenced from five years to life in prison. Police are asking anyone who is familiar with the church's disciplinary practices to call (512) 834-3890.

My two cents are:

The camping went pretty good. The mountain road out of the state park up to the private land where we spent a few days is now paved. This new development has chagrinned the locals who complain of excess traffic and an increase in the number of accidents caused by valley people out joy riding. One fellow I talked with said he was involved in a head-on with two ragheads driving a Benz. <> Biggest surprise was when Neil said that he had switched parties from Democrat to Republican. The Carter voter said he had become disillusioned with the Clinton-Gore years and so he voted for Dubya. Pretty amazing for a kid who was brainwashed by hard core unionized parents. We rarely talk politics but apparently this was something he felt so strongly about he felt compelled to say "Mea Culpa." Another soul saved. - Thursday, July 11, 2002 at 13:39:20 (EDT)
My two cents are: It's not fair the way everybody goes after the conservatives and nobody ever goes after the liberals. Simply not fair. Biased. Who ever heard anything about the various lunatic charges against Cliton, for example? I can't remember a single case. And now, just because it looks like a conservative has defrauded stockholders to the tune of a hundred million dollars, and a right-wing lunatic lawyer is trying to recapture his days of glory by suing him, it's all over the liberal media like a cheap suit.

My two cents are:

It's interesting how the liberal media, such as NPR, has suddenly latched onto one of the many lawsuits that have been brought forth by Judicial Watch against a host of politicians over the years. The number of law suits against both Bill and Hillary Clinton are staggering yet little mention is ever made of them in the mainstream (i.e. left leaning) press. And whenever mention is made, the plaintiff is typically described as a "conservative watch dog group" as if to imply a suspect political agenda is underlying the case. Not surprisintly, when mentioned in connection with the Haliburton case Judicial Watch is no longer described that way. In a way the media is now correcting their earlier error when they would pigeon hole Judical Watch as a right-wing PAC. I've never viewed Judicial Watch as conservative and they have certainly never portrayed themselves as a right-wing anything. That impression, swallowed hook line and sinker by the media, was the result of broad brushing from the likes of James Carville & Co. whose best defense was to label anyone who threatened the Clintons as right-wing, be it the Judiciary Committee, Ken Starr, or various watch dog groups such as Judicial Watch. - Thursday, July 11, 2002 at 12:20:13 (EDT)
My two cents are: What is Politics? A little girl goes to her dad and asks, "What is politics?" Dad says "Well daughter, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the People. The Nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense." So the little girl goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, she hears her baby brother crying, so she gets up to check on him. She finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little girl goes to her parents' room and finds her mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, she goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, she peeks in the keyhole and sees her father in bed with the nanny. She gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little girl says to her father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now." The father says, "Good daughter, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about." The little girl replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, The Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep do-do!"

Pete could spend the next indefinite stretch of time in a Navy clink somewhere down south, getting wedgied by guys like street-punk cum dirty-bomber Jose Padilla.

My two cents are: Ann's got a new column out. Skimmed it over on the Ann page. Looks as if she's running out of steam. Talking about how the Republicans aren't really the party of the rich because Reagan cut taxes and destroyed the Soviet Union, and because Phil Donohue got drunk at a party. Says that the claim that Snippy is involved with Enron because both are from Texas is no better than the idea that Clinton killed Vince Foster because both are from Arkansas. It's as if this Klayman fool punched her in the gut and took her breath away. On the other side, it's as if the normal press breathes a sigh of relief because they've had to tiptoe around the administration's crookedness for so long. Finally, a real suit is brought, happyily by a raving lunatic right-winger, so they can all finally mention the fact that Cheney cheated a lot of people, no better than a gypsy selling patio furniture that didn't exist. Sure, Gore Vidal is a useless queer, but he follows politics and when he says mark my words, Bush will leave office the most reviled president in history. he may have something. Criminal indictments are coming down, and when one of the bull goose criminals is the vice president, you're damned if you indict him and even worse off if you don't. I'd say the ball game is about up for these characters, and even wagging to dog with a bloodbath in Iraq isn't going to help them much.

My two cents are: I think the worst one was when I was driven to some minister's house over in virginia to go on a backpacking trip. only 3 or 4 others along. it was like i had a one on one preacher assigned to me and it was all fucked up. I outhiked them all and spent most of the time on the mountain crests waiting for them to catch up. when we did make camp, I left to meditate (read smoke weed and cigs). There was a canoe trip or two as well, and a week at some hellhole camp in virginia someplace I was sent.

Klayman might have stumbled into a serious role-- something that jism-chasing never gave him. The way the news bimbo announced it was humorous-- she says Cheney is being sued by a group that "claims to be nonpartisan." These guys are so afraid of Snippy that they are wary of the possibility that Judicial Watch is a front for the Dems instead of a nut-house with carpets and neckties.

My two cents are: MIAMI (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney ( news - web sites) and Halliburton Co., the oil company he ran for five years, are being accused of accounting fraud by a watchdog group. Washington-based Judicial Watch said it would file a shareholder lawsuit on Wednesday against Cheney and Halliburton. Cheney was chairman and chief executive of the oil field-services giant from 1995 to 2000. Halliburton announced on May 28 that it received notice from the Securities and Exchange Commission ( news - web sites) that the commission was looking into Halliburton's accounting methods ? adopted in 1998 ? for reporting cost overruns on construction jobs. The SEC has not filed any charges against Halliburton. Judicial Watch alleges those accounting practices resulted in the overvaluation of Halliburton's shares, deceiving investors. "We're seeking actual and punitive damages for allegations of securities fraud, for changing accounting practices and not advising the public of these changes," Judicial Watch chairman and general counsel Larry Klayman said Tuesday night in Miami. Messages seeking comment from Cheney and the White House were not immediately returned late Tuesday. "We don't believe that there's any merit to this case," Halliburton spokeswoman Zelma Branch said. The lawsuit, which is expected to be filed Wednesday in federal court in Dallas, also names 10 of Halliburton's board members. Klayman said auditor Arthur Andersen LLP will also be named in the lawsuit. Andersen spokesman Patrick Dorton declined to comment. Under Texas law, the lawsuit can only specify that it seeks damages greater than $200,000. Judicial Watch is seeking far more. "We're looking for millions of dollars in damages. We're looking to hold Vice President Cheney and others accountable," Klayman said. "We have no faith in the Bush administration and we have no faith in the Securities and Exchange Commission's investigation." Judicial Watch, a private, conservative group, has sued for access to records of the Cheney-led energy task force that drafted the Bush administration's energy policy. The allegations against Cheney came on the same day that President Bush ( news - web sites) called for tougher penalties to fight the corporate corruption that has engulfed several high-profile companies in recent months. Bush himself has come under criticism for transactions he made while a director at Harken Energy Corp. in the early 1990s. He has denied any wrongdoing.

My two cents are: Texas boy beaten, hospitalized over Bible study AUSTIN, Texas (CNN) --Austin police arrested a church pastor and his twin brother Tuesday, alleging they used a tree branch to beat unconscious an 11-year-old who misbehaved in Bible class. Joshua Thompson, 22, a pastor at Capitol City Baptist Church, and his brother Caleb turned themselves in Tuesday and were released on $25,000 bond, KEYE-TV reported. They were charged with injury to a child, a felony punishable by up to life in prison, the station reported. The alleged beating took place July 3, according to reports. The brothers thought the boy did not take his Bible verses seriously enough during a church-sponsored summer camp for Spanish-speaking students, officials said. The alleged abuse took place at a private home, said Bobby Taylor, the child's attorney. "They ... cut a branch off a tree, made my client lay on the bed, and beat him," Taylor said. Court records obtained by Reuters alleged that the beating lasted for 90 minutes, broke blood vessels and caused the boy's kidneys to fail. The brothers allowed the child to take a break in the restroom during the reported beating, documents said. Joshua Thompson beat the child while Caleb Thompson held him down, Reuters reported, citing court records. They reportedly turned up a radio to drown out the child's cries, the news service reported. Afterward, the two took the boy back to his home, where Joshua Thompson told the parents the child needed further discipline, the AP reported. After the Thompsons left, the boy's parents discovered bruises and cuts covering his entire back, as well as bruises on his neck, buttocks and legs, AP reported. They called police and took their son to a hospital, where he remained in fair condition Tuesday, the news service said. Capitol City Baptist does not support corporal punishment, said Jerald Finney, Joshua Thompson's lawyer.

My two cents are: Questionable stock sale Those critical of Mr Bush's speech on Tuesday say his proposal relies too heavily on corporate America policing itself, a policy that failed in the past. "I think [the speech] let people down," says securities lawyer Christopher Bebel of law firm Shepherd Smith & Bebel. "He fell well short of the mark." Mr Bebel says growing suspicion over Mr Bush's own actions is crippling his effort to assuage investors. "His words have a hollow ring when there's a substantial question as to whether he himself maybe an offender of the very issues he is discussing," says Mr Bebel. Many unanswered questions remain surrounding the president's sales of stock in Harken Energy in 1990, which Mr Bush tried to brush aside in speaking to reporters on Monday. The White House has previously acknowledged that US President George W Bush failed to follow the law and disclose details of shares he sold when he was a company director.
Only a third of Americans think Bush is doing all he can for the economy, stupid.

A lot of the europeans figure Snippy is about what America deserves. No culture, you understand. Let a numbnuts get in... they don't even understand the American system of government, so they don't know he's not really president, that he didn't win the election. They're just sitting there smirking and laughing. Of course, every one of those countries have had leaders damn near as dumb as Bush over the year. And a lot of them got in by having a dad who was a leader. Of course, they stopped doing that part.

My two cents are: You can tell the president?s heart isn't really in his new tough rhetoric. Take his recent call on corporate executives not to "fudge the numbers." Given the daily revelations of corporate criminality and its devastating impact -- on jobs, savings, and faith in our economy -- admonishing crooked CEOs not to "fudge the numbers" is like suggesting that suicide bombers not "spoil the day" of their intended victims. The President himself revealed the desultory nature of his commitment to cleaning up the corporate sewer at a fundraiser late last month: "Let me tell you how strongly I feel about this," he said. "I believe if somebody is running a corporation, if somebody has got responsibilities to shareholders and employees, they have the responsibility to be above-board at all times, to be frank and honest with all numbers." Wow -- that is strong. What is he going to come out in favor of next: the butcher keeping his thumb off the scale when he weighs your rump roast? The supermarket cashier giving you the right amount of change when you pay for your groceries? Students not cheating on a pop quiz?

My two cents are: "The Lord," Mr. Scalia explained in Chicago, "repaid ? did justice ? through His minister, the state." This view, according to Mr. Scalia, once represented the consensus "not just of Christian or religious thought, but of secular thought regarding the powers of the state." He said, "That consensus has been upset, I think, by the emergence of democracy." And now, alarmingly, Mr. Scalia wishes to rally the devout against democracy's errors. "The reaction of people of faith to this tendency of democracy to obscure the divine authority behind government should not be resignation to it, but the resolution to combat it as effectively as possible," he said in Chicago.

My two cents are: NEW RIP-OFF BOMBSHELL!! MERCK PHARMACEUTICALS INFLATED STATEMENTS BY $$$ BILLIONS MERCK CEO IS TOP BUSH ADVISOR: THE LATEST GOP KENNY BOY BUSH UP TO HIS NECK IN MERCK MUCK DUBYA'S ENRON ACID REFLUX In a thermonuclear revelation on the eve of George W. Bush's "corporate responsibility" speech, the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and other sources are reporting yet another new and huge corporate rip-off scandal linked to Bush, this one involving the Merck pharmaceutical corporation, and its CEO Raymond Gilmartin. According to breaking coverage, Merck booked $12.4 billion in revenues in the past three years, which it never received. That's twelve BILLION four hundred MILLION dollars in phony receipts, over three years. On average, over four BILLION dollars per year. More to the point: Merck CEO Raymond Gilmartin, just like Enron's Kenneth "Kenny Boy" Lay, is a major Republican contributor with extremely close ties to George W. Bush and his administration. During the Bush transition, when energy policy was being dictated by Enron and the energy corporations, Bush appointed Merck's Gilmartin to his top advisory committee for formulating health policy, including pharmaceutical and Medicare policy, for the new administration. Thereafter, Gilmartin triggered tens of millions of dollars to support front groups to back a phony Republican prescription drug bill for seniors and to counter the Democrats' substantive plan. The money has gone to pay for, among other things, TV ad campaigns against Democrats. The Merck revelations have accelerated the political meltdown of the Bush Administration and the Republican Party, coming in the aftermath of jumbo scandals that have hit Enron and Trent Lott's WorldCom. The numbers tell part of the story: In the 1999-2000 and 2001-2002 (to date) election cycles, Merck's Political Action Committee donated, respectively, $319,578 and (again, to date) $259, 653 to federal political candidates. In 1999-2000, 72 percent of the total went to Republican candidates and PACs in 2001-2002, so far, 64 percent of the total has gone to Republican candidates and PACs. Merck's CEO, Raymond Gilmartin, is also a big individual G.O.P. donor. Since 1999, Gilmartin has contributed $74,000 of his own money to federal political campaigns. More than half of that amount -- $40,000 -- has gone directly to the Republican National Committee. Another $20,000 of it has gone to individual Republican candidates and their PACs. A total of $10,000 has gone to Merck's pro-G.O.P. PAC. Which leaves a whopping $4,000 -- about five percent of the total -- for Democrats.

My two cents are: He'd been told he smelled like a cheeseburger. On more than one occasion. Not that he just occasionally smelled like a cheeseburger, more that he regularly smelled like a cheeseburger and was occasionally so told. Sort of like watching people clap when you're deaf. But not. So he tried them all, Cardin, Gucci, even Brut and Old Spice. Finally he settled on the bay-rum. But it was hard to find, especially a real west indian bay-rum. He imagined that was probably what Mannix or maybe even Magnium PI wore when they weren't in drag. A cheap bay-rum didn't work at all, left him smelling like a burger from the hula-hut. Had to be west indian or nothing at all. There was only one bus in this town and he was on it.

Like lighting a candle under a porch lite or pouring a jar of urine nto a portapotty at the county fair or even leaning a ladder up against a tree in the forest. Just one more damn thing in his life that made no sense. He might as well eat catfish he thought, for all the good that would do anyone - least of all the salmon.

My two cents are: In fact,at some point, noone was sure where one bus left off and the next one began. About that time it dawned on the populus that a bus route was a system, not a static collection of point in time signs on streetcorners. But a system. Evolving, pulsing, emergent and vital. It depended on one's perspective of course, or point of view for those more inclined to the obsolequiant. And the buses were not like salmon jumping upstream one after the other until they landed in a hideous dry stinking pile when the stream ran out. The buses ran in circles, one into the other like the tigers in little black sambo. Until one refused to give up her seat. Then they all stopped and nobody could smell anything except the bay-rum of the cops.

My two cents are: Still, it was quite a bus ride across town. There were all sorts of people on the bus. Some of them go on, while others got off. But those weren't the only differences. You could tell by the way they carried themselves what sort of bus riders they were. Some had umbrellas tucked smartly under their arms and folded newspapers with the creases just right down the column gutters. Others stumbled and smelled distantly of bay-rum.

My two cents are: It was hours later then. And the bay-rum still lingered in the air, wafting off his swollen jaw like fresh creosote off a piling down at the city dock. There were advantages to being deaf he thought. Advantages other people didn't understand. Like the heightened sense of smell and the ability to sense vibrations like a catfish in the great primordial bowl of soup. One day, he thought, I will eat that soup. And that will be that.

My two cents are: Exactly, with the terrorists beneath the bushes. This is a weird zone of Oz we live in. You'd thing that with a "threat" so nebulous, so personal in the end, nobody could stand to rely on Ashcroft to solve it. It's as if Americans lived in a nanny state or something. The only 9/11 terrorists who were dealt with were the ones in the airplane where possibly somebody's grandma stuck them in the ass with a knitting needle, the flight that went down in Pennsylvania. Seems to me when your "under attack" by people acting individually, the grandma with the needles is the best defense. If anyone sees a terrorist assing off, push him in the corner and sit on him. Take away his box-cutter. Who needs this huge bureaucracy to deal with a few Arabs? If you see a terrorist under a bush, drive him off like a hungry hound. This is absolutely silly that a whole big powerful nation that supposedly earned it by being tough can't take care of a few rag-heads with airplane tickets. Snippy and his whole gang are like a brand of toothpaste or cereal that says it's better than baking soda or a mouthful of oatmeal. They feel that somehow they're in the driver's seat, when all they are is scared wimps who run, while the real situation is taken care of by citizens.

My two cents are: Sure, it's meaningless gobbledegook, but these people are sociologists, not poets, give them a break. My best guess is that she applied some sort of medical research type of stuff to the generalized sickness, but I sort of doubt it. Your guess is as good as mine. Just accept the possibility that the result was a sweeping ethnography of poverty-stricken Northeastern Brazil, which I also doubt. How can you get a something like that through medical records? The odd thing is, those people are really fucked up, and nobody knows about them. Isn't that sort of odd? Nobody much has heard of the area, yet all those fucked up people? I mean, it's like a huge area, from way down past Recife and almost up to the Amazon. Some neat stuff goes on in there. Bahia, that's a neat place. The people are fucked by the political system, positively fucked. I remember trying to explain it to MK. No concept.

My two cents are: You will pass by something like 8 or 9 different nightclubs along the way. They usually have photos of the girls that perform displayed on windows. The other girls inside the club are not hired by them - it is illegal to exploit prostitution. Chances are they are regulars, though, so they would not rip you off and see you come back the next day to ruin their reputation. Agree on the price first. Try to pay less, and things could get ugly. If she called the police, they would probably be on her side. These clubs remain open until the last client, whatever hour that may be.

My two cents are: When we got kicked out of Brazil, it was me and Stan and Federico (a fucked up little weirdo from Bemidji), Stu Lindsay and his wife Linda, and Arturo and his wife. We all left town on the same plane (acutally, without Federico who was in another state, come to think of it, but fucked up all the same). The customs guys pulled Arturo's camera lenses out of his camera case and looked at them stupidly, because it was a scary revolutionary time, and he got pissed off. We started drinkin on the airplane up to Belem it was early morning, and Arturo kicked the seat in front of him, nobody in it, kicked it down flat, and expressed his dismay at life verbally.

That's sort of like what Glint means about the bubble, except he imagines himself to be on the other side of it. Oh, there's definitely a bubble, big-time. But poor Glint doesn't have any idea where it is. To him, the outside of the bubble is where your Mom doesn't pick up your clothes and wash them, or where the cafeteria doesn't prepare your food. The real bubble is where some guy on the other side of it is going to be dead of starvation and dehydration before the week is out, and wants to suck down your drink. But this is a guy who takes a ladder on a camping trip, so be easy.

My two cents are: In Brazil there is a definite bubble, far more immediate than the bubble that theoretically sets those living off-campus in Lincoln, NE from those living on-campus. For example, I was in a town in a region that awaits the rain, but there had been no rain for a couple of years, and many backwoods rubes had come into town for relief, and a lot of them were starving to death on the streets. These were like people coming from Nebraska, but instead of finding good pickings in the computer consultant industry they were finding more dry times. So I was sitting at a party, on the terrace, slurping on a uisque or whiskey, and this horrible little starving man with no teeth reached across the potted plants from the sidewalk and tried to grab it. I guess he thought it was Ovaltine or something, and would keep him from starving, but it was whiskey and branch and would have done him no good. On of the beautiful little middle class Brazilian babes who were sitting with me pushed him away, and said "n�o, viejo, n�o," which means "no, old man, no," and he hunkered back into the gutter with a sigh. There were waiters at this party, who would come around and fill your glass. Now, tell me.... who wouldn't want to visit a country like that?

My two cents are: Now, in an earlier avatar in Brazil, I had attended a dance in a backwoods town in the northeast, and a young man there had characterized the festivity as a chance to do the "dansa do penis", which I took to mean very slow close dancing in which the penis comes into play somehow. I wrote that kid's name down, and have it in an address book somewhere-- he claimed to be a drummer in a band. My Copacabana ladies seemed to be on the same wavelength, all of them coming, as you must understand, from far away, and traveling because as younger less experience women they had succumbed to the dansa do penis. To tell the truth, I didn't like the Northeast much, shitty Brazilian food and small-minded people. But Rio is another kettle of fish. I would live in Rio, if there was a good job there for a salmon biologist.

My two cents are: Getting in gear for Brazil. It's all music and samba and wild desparate porking in Brazil. I was sitting on the terrace looking at the ocean in Copacabana once, talking to a table full of women who had collected around me, when the conversation for some reason turned to international sociology. These gals didn't have much money, and the rules were they had to buy a drink, so I had bought them all drinks as they came up, except for those who had enough to buy their own drink. They all knew one another, being in the same business, and they were chattering pleasantly, and now and again discussing among themselves whether my accent and clothes were that of a Swiss or an Italian; but after a while the topic turned to international relations, as noted. They were universally of the opinion that women in other countries were inferior to Brazilian women, that is women who where "carhinosa" in the Brazilian manner. I never got it exactly straight what "carhinosa" meant, except that it was a style of dancing, my favorite one telling me that she wanted to go to a "carinhosa" dance club, which I divined was one that played slow dances.

My two cents are: A friend of mine, a missionary, went hunting in the tall grass in Africa, beaded in too long on an antelope and shot his indigenous dacon all to hell. A deer rifle will really put a hurt on your gun-bearer. This guy basically got the left side of his chest all shot away, but they patched him up and he may still be alive. That's sort of a drawback to guns, the possibility that you will shoot someone near and dear. That is why I advocate the cudgel.

My two cents are: I have never packed heat on a camping trip, unless the deer rifle counts. However, there is no knowing whom you will encounter in the wilderness. If I were afraid of robbers, I think I would opt for a .22 automatic of no specific brand, although such a weapon is scorned by those who imagine themselves beset by wrong-doers, and study pistol ballistics as a result. I happen to own two pistols, a Smith & Wesson "fun-gun" of .22 caliber, designed for shooting beer-cans and way too light, and a .40 Smith & Wesson "punkin-rolling" auto, an Astra Star, made in Spain, that chunks out a big bullet at high speed, with plenty of "fight-stoppine" power. I think that on a camping trip in desparate territory I would take the .22, even though it is not designed to kill or even slow down a man. You can use it to plink at partridged along the trail, and perhaps bag one for dinner, and you can can shoot pine cones and littered bottles along the trail, or blast your trout with it, hanging on the end of your fishing line. Yet with ten bullets in it, firing as fast as you can pull the trigger, you should be able to discourage the average mugger. Save the heavy .40 Smith or your .45 or your .38 snubbie for the purse or bedroom, and take the quick-shooting, lightweight .22.

My two cents are: Remember this well: do not, repeat, DO NOT try to dry your shoes over a fire, especially Nikes, which tend to melt. If you have to, you can dry your socks. This works with cotton socks only. Why do you want your shoes to be dry? They will only get wet again, and the heat of your feet will dry them out better than any fire, if the ground is dry. Do wet feet melt? Try not to be so concerned about perceived comforts. Dry feet are way overrated, if you are not living in a trench and it's the eve of the Battle of the Somme. When chased by knife-weilding bandits, the best thing to do is pick up a piece of windfall ("nature's cudgel") or, in the absence of woody vegetation, an appropriately-sized rock, and duck into ambush by the trailside. Remember that the life of a trailway-man is a tough one, and he's just a man or woman, same as you. Waiting behind a trailside rock or tree, put on your "war face" and mutter some favorite violent rhyming literature selection-- that Shakespeare thing about the "band of brothers" works well. If you are a woman, change it to "band of sisters." When the thief creeps past, step out behind him and fetch him a thwack on the medulla oblangata with your cudgel or rock. Strike swift and hard, as if you were kneading the egg-whites into the dough, or writing a particularly trenchant memo. With luck and a good eye, the thief will go down hard and his mates will run off. Scalping is optional, but certainly patriotic. If all this strikes you as too complicated, pack iron. The calibre doesn't matter. It is surprising how a clip-full of .22 lead will calm a Nepalese recidivist.

An apartment back on the fifth street ought to run cheap.

My two cents are: Shoes: Unless you are going to go romping off into slash-piles, there is no need for fancy camping foot-gear. Unscrupulous shoe salesmen will try to sell you all sorts of strange boots and socks, but whatever you are used to serves just as well, again with the caveat that you are not going to be slash-busting, where a pair of tough boots really helps. When you think about it, the task of walking is about the same whether you are walking on a sidewalk or on a trail. Don't fall for the old scam of the Mt. Everest boot, which may turn out to rub your feet the wrong way. "Sensible shoes", such as you might choose for an afternoon at the art museum, are fine for camping. An old bow-hunting companion of mine used to take off his shoes and walk around in stocking feet, so as not to scare the deer. He never got a deer, but he never got blisters, either.

My two cents are: Campint utensitls primer: if you go to a "backpacking" or "camping" store, you will find all sorts of expensive frying pans, ranging from the baisc Girl Scouts mess kit up to the newer titanium modules. All of these are serviceable, but none is very good. The best frying pan for the woods, light in weight and easy to clean, is the cheapest, thin-skinned Mylar coated 12" pan you can find at the drug store. It will have a plastic handle, which you must knock off with a hammer before your back-packing trip. This pan will be lighter than the titanium fryers at REI, larger, with higher sides, and it will not require scrubbing with creek-side sand. Pack a pair of pliers to adjust it in the fire. You do not, repeat NOT, need the nested pots favored by the glints of the world. Again, get the cheapest large pot at the drug store, the larger and thinner and cheaper the better. It will get black on the bottom but so what? You can boil your coffee in this a hundred times before it burns through. Those on budgets might want to use emptied coffee cans, which are just as good but don't last as long. As an aside, avoid the camping products sold at camping stores-- your local discount drug centre has much better equipment at lower cost.

My two cents are: Cooking over a wood fire: a wood fire has a variety of heat levels, depending on where chunks of wood are burning and where the fire is dying out, and where there are residual coals. Move your pot or pan around over the fire, propping it on rocks or other solid materials such as unburned wood, to achieve the correct temperature. Conditions will change from minute to minute, so be attentive. A piece of meat of bread product can be cooked directly on the fire. This works best on ash over coals, which produces a very hot broiling or toasting effect. Brush off the ash before ingesting.

My two cents are: Of course, learning to recognize tracks and scats or "animal sign" are an important part of woods lore. I can boil this down to a few easy lessons: 1) the Deer has a track that looks like two very large beans have been pressed into the mud or dust. Other large herbivores you are likely to come upon are much the same. Deer scat looks like dry black beans, and glistens when it is new. It lasts forever. 2) The track-beans represented by the Cow would be very, very large lima beans. Cow scat, when dried, looks like a light brown Frisbee�, and in fact can be used as one in the well-known tossing game 3) The Bear track looks like a medium-sized bean-bag has been pressed into the earth, and Brazil nuts have been pressed in around it. Bear scat is large and round and full of seeds, and is about the size of billiard balls. It is crumbly, because of all the seeds and trash in it. 4) Mountain lion tracks look like those of a very large housecat. In the snow, there may be tail-marks behind the footprints. Mountain lion scat looks pretty much like yours, except that it has hair in it. 5) If you see small scurrying tracks, as of a small animal, you can bet that it is some sort of weasel, or skunk, or porcupine or the like. These animals' scat is small and black and curly at each end. 6) Human tracks are individually identifiable by the pattern of the Vibram�. I'm not kidding-- back in the day I took a rescue course in man-tracking, taught by a guy from the INS who had perfected the science along the Arizona border. There are about three hundred patterns of Vibram�, involving various "stars" in the foresole and heel. You can tell a man because he tends to hit hard with the heel, so the heel-mark will be deepest. Women tend to hit the ground first with the sole, fearing to break the four-inch spike that they are trained to expect is under the heel. The white man walks duck-footed, with the toes spread outward, while the indian walks pigeon-toed. The Indian print will also be that of a moccasin, and will lack the Vibram� pattern, unless the Inidan in question is employed by the Forest Service.

My two cents are: You might ask yourself, why would civilized people want to go out in the woods and scuttle around like cockroaches looking for a place to lie down at night? Beats me, but there you are. I try not to brood about these things, just throw the necessaries in the sack and head on out. Now, as to clothing, there are few topics that involve as much bullshit as the clothing necessary for camping. A good rule of thumb is to wear as much cotton as you can, although the official arbitrers, your Outside Magazine and your other funhog sources will say that cotton equals death. The first thing to remember is that, for you, there is no such thing as hypothermia. Hypothermia is all in your mind. If the human race had been subject to something like hypothermia, it never would have swung down out of the trees. You need to learn to enjoy the feel of wet cotton underclothes under a pair of wet Levi's and a wet cotton sweatshirt, if you are ever going to be much of a Camper. Oh, sure, they say wool only, or polypropylene or another of the new miracle fabrics that "wick moisture away" and leave you up to your neck in swamp muck but dry-skinned like a princess underneath. Don't believe it. If you sweat one drop of sweat into polypro or another of those miracle under-fibres, you're going to live with the concentrated stench of that drop every time you put on that particular item of clothing. And check this out: at my woods cabin, I sting a length of 9mm accessory cord over the woodstove during the winter, and dry my stuff on it. At one time I had a uniform allowance, and bought $350 worth of polypropylene turtlenecks, which were part of the uniform even though nobody could figure out how to dye them the right color. Well, I was taking these turtlenecks off the line one day, with the woodstove hot, and I dropped one. It fell on the stove so I grabbed it quick, and it turned out that all I was grabbing was a handfull of hot melted plastic. The shirt turned into a puddle of plastic in a split second. Never got a handful of third-degree burns like that from good old cotton.

My two cents are: Used to go camping all the time. Camping box probably full of spiders. That's the car-camping box. For hiking and sleeping along the route, what they call "back-packing", have to take some of the items out of the camping box and put them in a sack to tie to the pack board or stuff in the frameless funhog pack. Glint's going, and his list, have got me all excited about it again. Going up high in the Alps behind the house, behind the wildflower bloom. Carrying all that crap on your back like a coolie. The thing is, it's at most maybe a week, ten days, usually more like three or four days, so you're not going to die if you don't eat the complete Harvard Medical Center Nutrition Diet. Take dry beans if you're into protein. Me, I take spaghetti and something to grease it. One of those pint plastic bottles of olive oil is good. Pepper. A pound of Parmesan cheese. Weighing stuff for mule trips, I find that a can of Coke or a can of Dinty Moore Beef Stew weighs a pound, which is a pound you don't want on your back. Freeze-dried stuff can be good, but it's expensive, complicated to make, and not nearly as good as spags drizzled with olive oil and some pepper and Parmesan. Sometimes I'll take small cans of deviled ham and oysters, and some crackers to go with it-- generally on hunting trips where you might want to stop near mid-day and have some eats. A dime-store wine-skin for drinking from, because you can squeeze the air out to where it doesn't slosh and scare the wildlife. Hard candy is always good. That's drinking whiskey, not water, which should be availble in creeks or seeping out of the ground here and there. Whisky of something easier, say Schnapps or Southern Comfort is worth packing, because if you get in a fix it gives you courage and the ability to walk like mule until it runs out. So take plenty, even if you don't have to use it. Hard candy is always good. Lemon drops are the tradition, but you could go for butter toffee or Hot Tamales�.

My two cents are: Did I tell you about the time a few years ago I was walking in the wilderness area up behind my place during the week before deer season and I found a place where somebody built a deer stand in three clese-together trees? Near the end of a log road, it was built of two-by-fours nailed into the trees, overlooking a five-pound salt-block that the guy had screwed into a nearby tree. The idea was that the deer would come and lick the salt and he'd shoot it. This platform was about fifteen feet up in the trees and it was draped with this camo netting. There was a camo folding chair up there, a shooting chair with a sling pocket underneath for your extra bullets and your smokes. The poor sap who built it didn't know that a quarter mile down the hill there are about 25 salt-blocks that the locals have mounted so attract deer. I went back to my truck for a screwdriver and took the salt block. I still have the camo chair and the netting. Never got the two-by-fours but I imagine they're still up there. Log road blew out that winter so it's a lot longer walk.

My two cents are: One Nation, Under...Er...Vishnu In the most religiously diverse country in the world, why should "God" get the only plug? By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist To hell with the separation of church and state. Forget the Pledge of Allegiance and "under God" and all this bipartisan puling about prayer in schools. Maybe we've had it wrong all along. Let's try this instead: Maybe there should be no such separation at the school level. Maybe God and Vishnu and Kali and Astarte and Dionysus and Allah and Zarathushtra and Lao-Tzu have not only a vital place in the educational system, but also a fervent need to be heard and felt and imbibed, just like cafeteria Coke and meatloaf and badly written textbooks and nonexistent sex-ed and the capitals of all 50 states. Maybe barring religious practice from our national places of learning is just about as ignorant and small-minded and spiritually degenerative as, say, bombing another country over oil or land or power or ego. Let's just say. Ah, but maybe you agree with Dubya that America is Christian country and its "rights were derived from God." Maybe you think the current, adorably hypocritical separation of church and state, with its sanctimonious mentions of a patriarchal Christian God everywhere, is the righteous path, the common wisdom, the properly loving sentiment expressed by many a fervent patriot as we drop our bombs and thump our Bibles and let God sort 'em out. You would be wrong. Because America is also the most religiously diverse country in the world. America is teeming with saris and yarmulkes and monk's robes and funky prayer beads and glorious ornate temples of every shape and size. There are more Muslims in the U.S. now, for example, than there are Jews or Episcopalians. America, spiritually speaking, is not what most people think it is. A quick look inside any apartment building in any major city outside of, say, Vermont or maybe Montana reveals a veritable kaleidoscope of faith and divinity: Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Jew, Atheist, Wiccan, Pagan, Sikh, Atheist and Buddhist, living side by side and borrowing cups of sugar or sticks of Nag Champa from each other, stealing each other's newspaper and bootlegging each other's cable TV. It's a beautiful thing, really. But nowhere is religious funk and spiritual diversity more prevalent and visible than in the classroom, which since the mid-'60s has seen an explosion of immigrant cultures and beliefs, a dazzling and unprecedented intermixing of faiths and backgrounds and languages and deities and kids with names that give your tongue a workout. And hence it would seem to require negligible rationale or subtlety of mind to see that "under God" is really rather inane and exclusionary and insulting to a vast and increasing chunk of the soon-to-be-voting populace. Alas, Conservatives still believe little Johnny should be kneeling in school and praising Jesus (and no one else) for the glory that is his math quiz every day, whereas Liberals believe he should keep that sort of thing in the church or risk warping his little mind. Meanwhile little Daniel and Sunjat and Tenzin and Amir and Uma Das Gupta and Moonstarr and Ling Tso sit idly by, rolling their eyes and sighing sadly and wondering why there's so much intolerance and misunderstanding in the Land of the Free. So maybe there should be prayer in schools. A lot of prayer. Say a half hour a day, every religion allowed its rituals and practices, quirks and screams and chants and head-bobbings and blood sacrifices to the great Lord Zorkon. Immediately followed by a class on religious appreciation and diversity, with each kid talking about his/her beliefs and traditions and occasionally uptight dogmas and beautiful similarities and why the hell they have to wear that funny thing on their head and can't eat bananas on Tuesdays. Maybe every major religion gets one week during the school year where the kid and the kid's family and their rabbi or priest or guru or teacher come in and share stories and teach everyone their traditions, and everyone eats that culture's food and recites that faith's prayers and everyone learns to tie a turban and decorate a robe and dances and laughs and learns. It's what famed author and Harvard professor Diana Eck, in her book "New Religious America: How a 'Christian Country' Has Become the World's Most Religiously Diverse Nation," termed "religious pluralism" -- more than mere tolerance and acceptance of other's religious beliefs, an active and dynamic engagement in the public sphere, classrooms and workplaces and fetish dungeons, an ongoing dialogue, a spiritual exchange. It's messy and complicated and imperfect; we are trained to be suspicious, we resist change, we fear the unknown and erect walls and barriers of all kinds to keep foreigners and strange people out. Anxiety is our cultural modus operandi, and many spiritually uptight believers -- Christians in particular -- are loath to allow their kids to be "tainted" by exposure to other beliefs. But this is the only way it will ever work. People of all religions must intermix and communicate and share ideas and find common ground, and there is no one better to take us there than children, as yet untainted by their parent's prejudices, their government's ideologies. Lack of such integration and communication means cultural stasis, social breakdown, prejudice, ignorance, hatred, violence, zealotry, terrorism, war, increased and inexplicable proliferation of the Bush clan. Not necessarily in that order. It means situations like the Middle East, full of checkpoints and barriers and razor wire and children being trained in hate, without ever learning the viewpoint of the other side. It means we continue like we are right now, segregating ourselves and living in relative ignorance of who lives down the hall, looking over our shoulder suspiciously at the guy in the silk gown or the woman in the head wrap, wondering what crazy thing they're always chanting about. So yes. Dump the inane "under God" provision of the Pledge. And maybe replace it with "One nation, under whatever noble and/or beautiful belief system you want, or maybe nothing at all, or maybe a little of this and that, just don't be a freak about it, because this is America and we're nothing if not about religious freedom, even though that may be difficult to believe right now, but just bear with us, indivisible...." Sure it's a little verbose. But it sure beats the religious status quo.

My two cents are: The two captain's chairs are for when Glump and his old pal are relating to one another. They've got to look in the face, so the friend, who was stone deaf when they were children, can read his lips. Of course now the friend is borged up with a false ear, but Glump is taking to chances. The reclining chairs are for when Glump tries to ease the old friend into the idea that astronomy is fun. He's going to say, "why don't we sit on these here reclining chairs I happen to have brought along. Then, while the other guy is reclined, Glint is going to casually steer the conversation around to the stars overhead. This of course is the lead-up to pulling out the telescope and the wrenches and the ladder and the tarp and casually starting to bolt it together, there in the woods of West Virginia. "Hello," he'll say, "what have we here? Oh, I believe it's a telescope!" At this point, the sinking feeling the old friend has been developing as he is drawn into this creepy Maryland troglodytic mind, will shift gears and feel like the World Trade center. "What th'....?" he will be saying, inside his own mind. But the Glumpster at this point will be unstoppable and will glue his eyeball to the scope until dawn's early light, with the old pal waking every now and then to glance apprehensively at this odd duck from his reclining chair.

My two cents are: For some people, the list is as good as the trip. The list validates the trip experience. Also, it's a way to communicate how your brain works, which is what communication is all about, according to the canon. For example, a lot of people wouldn't think to take a wash-tub. But suppose, as is only too probably on a camping trip, you get sprayed by a skunk? Where would you be without your trusty wash-tub? I, of course, would have taken a washboard as well, but maybe that's only because I know what a washboard is, and where to get one (Ace Hardware, housekeeping section). I young feller like Glint probably has heard the word but doesn't connect it with anything that might be useful on a camping trip.

If you are looking for something in the likes of an erotic spa with a number of friendly girls to choose from, you need what locals call a Termas.

My two cents are: The First Lady continues her trip in Baltimore, Maryland, where she visits the Francis Scott Key memorial. The memorial is located at Eutaw Place in the Bolton Hill neighborhood about 15 minutes from downtown Baltimore. Commissioned by Charles and Theodore Marburg and created by French sculptor Jean Marius Antonin Mercie, the lower part of the monument is a circular pool with a boat in it. Seated in the boat is a sailor and Francis Scott Key with his right hand raised handing the manuscript of his poem to Columbia, the figure atop the structure which rises out of the pool. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To comment on this service, send feedback to the Web Development Team.

In-text Notes are keyed to line numbers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tune -- ANACREON IN HEAVEN 1 O! say can you see, by the dawn's early light, 2 What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming, 3 Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, 4 O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? 5 And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, 6 Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there -- 7 O! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave 8 O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave? 9 On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, 10 Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, 11 What is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep, 12 As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? 13 Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, 14 In full glory reflected now shines on the stream -- 15 'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave 16 O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave. 17 And where is that band who so vauntingly swore 18 That the havock of war and the battle's confusion 19 A home and a country should leave us no more? 20 Their blood has wash'd out their foul foot-steps' pollution, 21 No refuge could save the hireling and slave, 22 From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave; 23 And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave 24 O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave. 25 O! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand 26 Between their lov'd home, and the war's desolation, 27 Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land 28 Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation! 29 Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, 30 And this be our motto -- "In God is our trust!" 31 And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave 32 O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES The poet's life and works ... Composition Date: Sept. 14, 1814. Form: ababccdd. 1. The editorial introduction in Analectic Magazine is as follows ... "These lines have been already published in several of our newpapers; they may still, however, be new to many of our readers. Besides, we think their merit entitles them to preservation in some more permanent form than the columns of a daily paper. The annexed song was composed under the following circumstances. -- A gentleman had left Baltimore, in a flag of truce for the purpose of getting released from the British fleet a friend of his who had been captured at Marlborough. He went as far as the mouth of the Patuxent, and was not permitted to return lest the intended attack on Baltimore should be disclosed. He was, therefore, brought up the bay to the mouth of the Patapsco, where the flag vessel was kept under the guns of a frigate, and he was compelled to witness the bombardment of Fort M'Henry, which the Admiral had boasted he would carry in a few hours, and that the city must fall. He watched the flag at the fort through the whole day with an anxiety that can be better felt than described, until the night prevented him from seeing it. In the night he watched the bomb-shells, and at early dawn his eye was again greeted by the proudly-waving flag of his country." (p. 55)

My two cents are: USA History Francis Scott Key KEY, Francis Scott (1779-1843). A lawyer who wrote verse as a hobby, Francis Scott Key penned the words that became 'The Star-Spangled Banner' after a battle in the War of 1812. The words were sung to the tune of the English drinking song 'To Anacreon in Heaven'. Francis Scott Key was born on Terra Rubra, his family's estate in western Maryland, on Aug. 1, 1779. Until he was 10 he was educated at home. After attending preparatory school at Annapolis, he entered St. John's College and then prepared for a legal career in the office of Judge Jeremiah Chase. He opened a successful law practice in Georgetown (now part of Washington, D.C.) and served as attorney for the District of Columbia from 1833. He died in Baltimore, Md., on Jan. 11, 1843. After the burning of Washington by the British in the War of 1812, Key was sent to the British fleet anchored in Chesapeake Bay to secure the release of a friend. He was detained aboard ship overnight on Sept. 13, 1814, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry. When he saw the United States flag still flying over the fortress the next morning, he wrote the words to what was later called 'The Star-Spangled Banner' but was first printed under the title 'Defence of Fort M'Henry'. The song quickly became popular and was adopted by the Army and Navy as the national anthem, but it was not until 1931 that it became officially recognized as such by an act of Congress.

My two cents are: I'd say what Snippy has to do is get back to basics. Dance with the one that brung ya, as we say Out West. Re-sell that domestic agenda that's gone down the dumper. People are looking for hope and security and he needs to hit those themes hard. A good place to start would be the privatization of Social Security. Next move on to caps on lawsuit judgements. Also, don't forget the very wealthy. A few more tax breaks for them would surely benefit us all. Drilling for oil every place but off the Florida coast is also a winner. He needs to sieze the agenda and ellucidate it as only he can.

My two cents are: True, but what's this with Glint talking about Clinton raising the bar? Clinton only went up in the polls when they hounded him about his sex life. When they went after his financial affairs, everybody found out he was clean. This might be a little different. Clinton's blow jobs never hurt anyone, but these guys raping the corporations are making people miss payments on the lawn tractor, and the repo man isn't far off. When you take away a family's lawn tractor, or the quad-runner, or the ski boat, or the wide-screen, or the trip to Disney World, or, perish forbid, the house, then you're in a different kettle of shrimp. No, I think Snippy has a problem here. September 11 was like a winning lottery ticket for a family that had someone go down, hell, each corpse is worth a cool million five just to start. It has a different effect on the voter when you take away his retirement account than when you flood his family with cash and get rid of the gloomy sonofabitch besides.

My two cents are: Unsavory in Texas Baltimore Sun LOOK WHAT'S come back to bite President Bush. A stock deal that looked very much like insider trading, and that netted the future president $848,560 when it took place in 1990, is suddenly in the news -- again. It has never hurt him in the past. It has come up in one campaign after another, and voters just never got excited about something as arcane as insider trading. It never had any traction. With the economy booming, it just never looked like an issue. But it sure does now. ... He was a member of Harken's audit committee, but he says that despite the memos he was given he had no idea that financial problems were threatening the company. If he had known, he says, he never would have sold all that stock in June 1990. Interestingly, Mr. Bush said he had to sell his Harken stake to pay back money he had borrowed when he became a partner in the Texas Rangers. As a partner he was essentially a local figurehead. But again there's that magic name. When he later sold his Rangers share, it brought him $18 million. In other words: He parlayed a failing company into stock in another company that he bailed out of just before it, too, began to fail; he used the proceeds to support his minimal investment in a baseball team that he eventually cashed in for $18 million. Where do we get in line for that kind of work?

I think you're right about that. Your man Clinton really raised the bar on political scandals. Little things don't seem to hold the voters' attention anymore. Bush knows that as far as scandals go, "if it doesn't squirt, you won't get hurt." <> Interesting report about the two songs, gnat. Are they the two that were posted here. One was "The Stars and Stripes Forever." I think the other one was "The National Emblem" which, as far as I know, was lost when someone opened the emergency port 110 exit on the airliner.

My two cents are: Another thing, there's no reason to work hard at this. The Bush administration* is dead meat. I got a feeling the numbers are going to get a little spongy for Mr. Snippy. These fellers were counting on the belief that you can fool all of the people all of the time. They have been up to no good. The only reasonable job for someone with a liberal approach to government now is to do whatever it takes to ensure that Mr. Lieberman doesn't go anywhere. That guy is the John Ashcroft of the Democratic Party. I didn't realize how bad it was until I found out yesterday that the guy started up a morality group with Lynn Cheney. They are co-leaders of some sort of sad-sack virtue outfit. Snippy is dead meat, but let's be sure to throw Lieberman's corpse in on top of him.

I'm pretty sure I could figure it out in an hour (or less with complete attention), but then I tell myself, do I really want to spend that hour? What for? To turn the font yellow? To post a picture of the guy who started the Civil War, James Buchanan? To post a picture of a pineapp.... excuse me, I got some old HTML test posts to look at.

Forrest Glump's not much different, holding the code to picposting above the heads of the others like a basketball player teasing a cripple with the ball. calling the dog to a bowl full of food soaked in gasoline. If it weren't for the fear, Forrest Glump would post the instructions. Why the fear, that's becoming the real question. Why the fear Glump, why?

My two cents are: Well, Harlan, as Pete himself said, he's lived a good life and he's ready to roll. He would have rolled back in the day, rolled to Viet Nam, but unfortunately he wasn't given a rolling draft number. And of course, if you knew that some of his adoptive relatives had served in the Navy, you'd realize that it would be impossible to keep him back if it hadn't been for that high lottery number. This is a scion of Beeston we're talking about, a man part Cherokee, part French-Canadian, part English nobility, part Tonganese prince, and all American.

My two cents are: I have joined my President in his outrage that some of our business leaders seem to be giving the shaft to the little guy, the cluck in the street. If there's one thing me and my President get outraged about it's when somebody fucks with the trickle-down effect. How the hell are we ever going to get this country productive if these CEO's keep interrupting the trickle? A CEO should be required to divulge any stock sale within two days! Some of these guys were waiting eight months, so that the cluck in the street didn't know if a CEO was unloading his stock until long after the company was in the tank. Jeez that burns up good Republicans like me and my President.

My two cents are: They found the sad few chunks of pineapple across from the El Al desk in the corner behind the Lebanese gyro stand where the C-4 had blown them. At first the clean-up crew thought they were parts of the man who the Ful-Vu glasses had belonged to, who had worn the shredded Phat� Brothers alumicron suit with the 16-inch arms and the 53-inch waist. Then one of the crew, Bert, said "it's not his guts like we thought, guys, it's pineapple. It figures-- the poor bastard was coming from Hawaii and he must of bought a souvenir at the duty-free fruit stand." The other guys shuffled over with their brooms and mops, most of them wondering if it was still OK to eat. A man hardens up quick in war-time, and these were the front line troops.

My two cents are: Is Scalia a member of the Knights of Columbus? Does he have to recuse himself from ruling on whether the Knights' prayer should be required in the schools? The only thing that saves the pledge in California is that it is not required. You're allowed to sit it out. Sue Mayberry always sat down when it came over the horn in high school. Me, I was a patriot, so I just skipped the prayer part and said the rest. Probably nobody noticed, except God.

A lot of the rubes who voted for Snippy know someone who knows someone who just got laid off and lost his pension and has been pretty much fucked by people like the Snip. I think that our leader could be in trouble here. These are serious crimes that Bush and Cheney are apparently guilty of, and they're crimes that directly affect the chump in the street. Sure, they'll wag the dog, but how many times can you wag the same scrofulous dog carcass? They think they have a war, but all they have is a fluke terrorist hit, and they're milking it too hard. Snippy is in big trouble. He'll panic like he did on 9/11, and if Cheney panics too they'll try some insane Nixonistic stunt that will really land them in hot water. This could be good.

My two cents are: "Slowly the pieces are beginning to fall into place regarding the suicide a Forn Url Port Authority official. The coronor's report confirms that the Chief Architect in its Cyber Division died from a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Investigators have not publicly commented as to motive. However, inside sources say that in his cold dead fingers was a letter from an attorney, one Percy Mason, Esq. Now, Mr. Mason specializes in intellectual property cases involving accusations of plagiarism. Although there is no official word I suspect that perhaps the deceased received the letter by mistake. If that is the case then that leaves open the possibility that Mr. Mason could be sued for malpractice. On the other hand Mr. Mason may simply have been exerting pressure on the Chief Architect and threatening to blow the lid off by exposing his - that is the Chief's - involvement in stealing and illegal use of the intellectual property of others in his award winning aircraft designs." -- Greta Van Susteren

My two cents are: The accounting firm Arthur Andersen was the auditor for both WorldCom and Enron, and was found guilty of obstruction of justice regarding the Enron investigation. Andersen also was the accountant for Harken Energy when Bush sold his stock. After the Enron bankruptcy, Bush proposed a 10-point reform plan that included a requirement that executives promptly disclose when they sell or buy their company stock. On Wednesday, White House press secretary Ari Fleischer ( news - web sites) defended the president's sale of his Harken stock by saying Bush had notified the SEC in advance and in a timely manner that he intended to sell his shares. However, Bush failed to notify the SEC once the stock was actually sold, as required by law. Fleischer said that when Bush blamed the SEC for losing the form, he may have been referring to the first form which he knew he had filed. Initially, Fleischer said that the second form - on the actual sale - is filed by the corporation, but later he said he did not know who bears the legal responsibility Federal law says that it is the responsibility of the individual director - not the corporation - to file the form.

One of the bums, a guy who I've supported in the past, asked for spare change and I gave him a buck. I blessed me and my family, and I guess that's useful right in front of a liquor store full of shifty-eyed Arabs. Yes, I was going to go to the mountains Wednesday night, but I procrastinated and now this Halliburton/Harken thread has me by the short hairs. Got to stick around until 8:00 pm because Friday night is the only time I get to see real troglodytes on television. You got to see their eyebrow moves to figure out what they really think about Snippy's weak-ass moves, relying on his dad and all rather than selling through an anonymous partner. So many things he could have done to keep it secret and the weak-ass little cheerleader left it up to his dad owning the SEC.

My two cents are:

He fashioned some new controls using bailing wire, gum, and other available materials. When the stewardess came back to seve him his third helping of the Porterhouse being served in First Class he asked, "Did you find any of the things I asked for?" "Here you are, sir. Hairpins from 14D and some fingernail glue from 19C." "Thank you, this will do. I am expecting an important message from Washington shortly and I need to make some adjustments to the radio in order to receive the proper frequency." He took the nail clippers that were confiscated by the flight crew from a swarthy passenger entering the plane at the terminal and glued it somewhere in the open panel of the radio. Only static, nothing more. He cranked the knob and found static from one end of the dial to the other. He switched bands and tried it again. Same thing - nothing. After trying all bands he banged the top of the radio with his fist. The static went vanished, and voice on the radio said, "Atention all pilots. Stand by for an important announcement from Washington." - Friday, July 05, 2002 at 13:24:27 (EDT)

My two cents are:

A passenger asks, "Well damn, where's the switch that will corrects typos. Why isn't there an edit switch. Why isn't there an icon switch to insert pics." I agree, and edit feature would be sweet. That way one might go back and insert the question marks that appear to be missing into your post. Unfortunately this appears to be further evidence of improper planning and design on the part of the Port Authority and could also help to explain the sudden resignation of its Chief Architect. As far as an icon switch to insert pics there is such a beast in place. However, it is located in the cockpit out of the hands of untrained passengers. It is available to both the pilot and co-pilot. Oh yes, there is a co-pilot here too, as you may have already noticed. - Friday, July 05, 2002 at 12:36:27 (EDT)

My two cents are:

One of the passengers had climbed into the cockpit without permisssion from passengers or flight crew. He had never flown the type of aircraft he was now in, but he had been a passenger in one many many many times. He had also flown similar types of aircraft during his days as a mercenary pilot and did have some formal training. He had been an independant, sneering at "company pilots" preferring to remain outside the corporation's direct sphere of influence. But now he was older and was at a point in his life where he was ready for a change. So about six months before he ad signed on with a commercial air cargo carrier. Although they were small their routes were global and the market places of the world depended on the cargos he shepherded to them. Some of the other passengers were shocked and alarmed when they discovered that he didn't know how to land the plane. His flight training had only been on how to fly the plane, not take offs and landings. However, someone had to be up front keeping an eye on the controls. He leaned forward and flipped a switch that started the in-flight movie, "The Lawn Mower Man." Then he sat back and slid the box cutter back into his pocket. He may not need to use it but it's best to keep it handy just in case. - Friday, July 05, 2002 at 11:55:17 (EDT)
My two cents are:

Suddenly the plane lunged. Liquids and dinner trays appeared as if they were glued fast to the ceiling. Next the plane rolled 540 degrees and the frightened passengers found themselves flying upside down. Next, the plance pitched up and began climbing rapidly. The rousing march that suddenly burst over the loudspeaker system seemed to be somehow out of place. As the plane leveled off the flight attendants made their way down the asile to the cockpit. They opened the door and there was one of the passengers sitting in the pilot's seat flipping the switches. "It's o.k. now," he said. "I've figured out why the autopilot kept rebooting itself and how to pipe music over the intercom to calm the passengers." - Friday, July 05, 2002 at 11:39:05 (EDT)

My two cents are:

The passengers were beginning to grow uneasy. The little boy in set 27A had rang the stewardess and asked her about the stars outside his window. "Miss, did you know that the constellation Octans is at a current altitude of approximately 80°r; with respect to the horizon?" The stewardess, whose eyes went were suddenly vacant, said, "So?" "Well," the boy continued, "on our flight path from Boston to San Francisco Octans should remain well below the horizon at all times." The stewardess blinked several times rapidly, then rolled her eyes impatiently. "So,....what you are trying to say .....is? "Octans is the constellation in which the south celestial pole is located in. Based on its current altitude our current position must be somwhere over Antarctic continent." The Stewardess alerted the chief flight attendant and they knocked on the cockpit door. There was no answer so they knocked harder, and then began pounding away. They broke the glass to get the emergency key, and opened the cockpit door. The stewardess clutched her hands to her face and screamed. The cockpit was empty! "Oh, were's Captain Adam," she wailed. - Friday, July 05, 2002 at 11:21:41 (EDT)
My two cents are: LATEST FROM AP: BUSH A HYPOCRITE Media Finally Bluntly Acknowledge Undeniable! No Moral Authority To Demand Corporate Accountability Harken Excuses Not Flying - Slick Ari Losing His Touch Bush's Business Practices Examined WASHINGTON (AP) - As a Texas oilman, President Bush engaged in some of the same kinds of business practices he's now promising to clean up in response to a wave of corporate scandals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear MWO, Whoever you are, I love you. You have been keeping me sane while a mass delusion concerning the character and competence of Bush has infected the nation and the mainstream press. Perhaps I can now help you a bit. I am a securities lawyer and part of what I do for a living is file Form 3s and 4s on behalf of executives. For SEC purposes, an "insider" under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is an executive officer, director or anyone who holds more than 10% of the stock of a public company. A Form 3 disclosing the insider's holdings in the company is due within 10 days after someone becomes an insider. After that with certain exceptions (which did not apply in Bush's case), any purchases or sales in the company's stock have to be reported within 10 days after the end of the month in which they occur. Although technically the insider is the one responsible for the filings, most companies take care of it for their officers and directors to make sure it gets done properly. Historically, Form 4's have often been filed late or never. A few years ago, the SEC began requiring companies to disclose in their proxy statements any late filings by officers and directors to try to improve compliance. However, I find it hard to believe that a sale of the size that Bush made would be forgotten that easily, especially since it would be convenient to forget a filing that would make the world aware that you just sold a large portion of your holdings. I see Bush has change his story from the SEC lost it to the company's lawyers screwed up. The SEC lost it story is ludicrous because it is common practice for lawyers to ask the SEC for a date stamped copy of the filing back. So if in fact it is lost by the SEC you have a copy in your files. The beloved Ari mentioned a Rule 144 filing that Bush made that he intended to sell the stock. This form is filed for a different purpose under a different statute - the Securities Act of 1933. As an "affiliate" under Rule 144, Bush would sign the filing but it is the broker's responsibility to make sure the filing is made. Brokers can get in a lot of trouble for not making the proper filings and ordinarily the broker would not make the sale without the paperwork. All of the large brokerage houses have special groups that handle compliance with these kind of sales. Another point to keep in mind is that an "insider" for purposes of Section 16 is not the same as insider trading which is illegal. Even if Bush had filed the Form 4, the SEC could still investigate if they thought Bush sold based on confidential information. Of course, it is possible that Mr. Watson and Bush are both correct. Since we know Bush has the attention span of a gnat he could well have sat in the audit committee meetings and paid no attention to what was being said.

Bush said, "Corporate officers should not be allowed to secretly trade their company's stock. Every time they buy or sell, they should be required to tell the public within two days," Bush said.

I fear that either way we won't be hearing much from the big boy from here on in.

My two cents are: And where was the future vice president while this was going on? The company insists, graciously, that a mere $100 million flyspeck on the company accounts (1999 income: $438 million) was beneath the notice of a busy CEO such as Dick Cheney. This is believable. Cheney's income in 2000, his last year at Halliburton, was $36 million in salary, bonuses, benefits, deferred compensation, restricted stock sales, exercised options, frequent-flier miles, a turkey at Christmas and other standard elements of the modern CEO compensation package. It is a vital responsibility of anyone who is that valuable to remain completely ignorant of anything improper going on around him. He owes it to the company to be untainted. It's true that Cheney was featured in a promotional video for Arthur Andersen, in which he says, "I get good advice, if you will, from their people based upon how we're doing business and how we're operating -- over and above just the sort of normal by-the-books auditing arrangement." The Wall Street Journal, which uncovered this video, had a good time with that patronizing dismissal of by-the-books accounting practices. But taken as a whole, this remark from Cheney is a pretty convincing performance of a man who doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. It would be the sheerest demagoguery to suggest that a person should take the blame for a company's shenanigans just because he happened to be CEO at the time. Heck, no. That's what accountants are for.

My two cents are: I don't sense that he really has wrath to unleash. He seems too confused and foggy-minded for wrath, but even more, he seems like a chuckle-go-lucky sort of guy, a cheerleader, without a lot of complicated emotions like wrath. If he unleashes Cheney on Iraq, or Ashcroft, then that's another matter. But wrath his personal, and Snippy really doesn't have a reason to feel wrathful about Iraq, or about anybody else for that matter. Nobody's ever done him wrong in his whole life, as far as we can tell, so why be angry? It's like Ann Coulter down there is writing about how liberals are part of the Evil because they can't hate the Arabs as much as she can, and that's the way Snippy is. When Taliban John was caught, Snippy said something like, "the poor kid," the way any normal wll-adjusted person would, while Ann's line was to scream that the kid should be killed to show "liberals" that they could be killed, too. Bush is just a schmoe at heart, your average small-time limited Rotarian type but born into a rich, hungry family that gave him everything he wanted from dope money to the presidency, so he never had the opportunity to harden up and think of people in terms of how satisfying it would be to kill them, the way most right-wingers have. I think that Snippy is just as astonished as more intelligent people are to be cavorting in the rabbit hole. I think when he's wearing those bright yellow gloves he looks at them and wonders why being president means he has to wear such weird gloves. With Karen Hughes going, there will be nobody to explain it to him and calm his misgivings, so he may actually develop some wrath. Until then, Iraq is safe, at least from junior himself.

When he says etiquette what he means is, "sure, I fucked everything up, but I'm going to wrap a little baling wire around this, and whack that for a while with the Stillson wrench, and squirt some Elmer's into that thing over there. Now there are a bunch of rules I want you people to follow about how you relate to this fucked-up mess, and the first is that you pretend it's not a fucked-up mess, because I'm not about to do what is really required to fix it." OK, maybe this is etiquette, because it makes the turd on the table feel it is a little less of a turd than it really is. But wouldn't it be even better etiquette, and better for the turd in the long run, if it would stand up on its hind legs like a man and face Adam or Adam's successor? These are delicate matters, and I'll be the first to admit that I don't have all the answers. But what my gut tells me is that the guy who pissed on the rug has an obligation to take that rug to the cleaner, and not keep kidding himself that he can fix it by pissing on it a little more.

"If anybody violates the law, we go after them," Pitt said in an interview on ABC-TV's "This Week." Pitt was responding to a question about Halliburton Co., an oil company for which Cheney was chairman and chief executive for several years until August 2000, when he resigned to be George Bush's running mate. A month ago Halliburton said the SEC, the nation's top watchdog of securities markets and publicly traded companies, had begun a probe into how the company booked cost overruns on energy-related construction jobs. ABC interviewer Sam Donaldson noted that President Bush has vowed that all chief executives "who have mismanaged their company in some fraudulent way will have to pay." He asked Pitt, "Will that be the case in Halliburton if you find wrongdoing under Mr. Cheney's reign?" Pitt responded, "I head an independent regulatory agency. We don't give anyone a pass."

Incomprehensible and indefensible, the same as bombing foreigners, another thing that Snippy wouldn't do. The goddamn liberals have fucked themselves up so much by mooning about the Constitution (which, by the way, says nothing about opening judicial processes to the scrutiny of the unwashed) that they can't hate the Arabs! And Senator "Do-Nothing" Leahy, how can we trust him with the government's business when he won't even rubber-stamp Snippy's Ku-Klux judges? Who does this guy think he is, some sort of government official? Who the hell elected him, the Florida Supreme Court? Of course Ashcroft wouldn't run stuff by him. He was probably worried he wouldn't get the stuff he wanted if he asked the goddamn elected people. Not one single cartoon in the New York Times is funny.

My two cents are:

Liberalism And Terrorism: Different Stages Of Same Disease July 3, 2002 THE NEW YORK TIMES editorial page was in a snit with the Supreme Court this week for its first ruling on the Bush administration's wartime security procedures. Despite the hysteria at the Times for the assault on "constitutional rights" by Attorney General John Ashcroft, the Supreme Court ruled for Ashcroft. For now, at least, deportation hearings of suspected terrorists will not be open to the public. This, the Times said, was "troubling." Sadly, the Constitution does not require that national security be compromised. Like everything liberals oppose but don't have a good argument for, all reasonable national security measures are called "unconstitutional." Whenever liberals are losing on substance, they pretend to be upset about process. "The good part of being a Democrat is that you can commit crimes, sell out your base, bomb foreigners, and rape women, and the Democratic faithful will still think you're the greatest." Through their enervating dialogues and endless concerns with constitutional process, liberals have made themselves incapable of feeling hate for the enemy. Refusing to take sides in this war, they busy themselves wailing about every security precaution taken by the Bush administration. Ashcroft has been incessantly attacked on the op-ed page of The New York Times by the same columnists who are now angrily demanding to know why the Bush administration didn't imprison all Arabs before Sept. 11. He has been compared to the Taliban. (And you're not a patriot in this war until a liberal has compared you to the Taliban.) Bill Goodman of the Center for Constitutional Rights called Attorney General John Ashcroft the Constitution's "main enemy." (As Andrew Ferguson said, evidently Osama Bin Laden comes in a close second.) Sen. Patrick Do-Nothing Leahy has complained about Ashcroft's "disappointing" failure to run all internal guideline changes past the Senate Judiciary Committee. Instead, Sen. Do-Nothing said, "we're presented with a fait accompli reflecting no congressional input whatsoever." Ashcroft was probably worried Leahy would take as long with procedures for investigating terrorism as he is with Bush's judicial nominees. If Speedy Gonzalez Leahy were required to review Justice Department guidelines, America would be an Islamic regime before Leahy got around to it. No matter what defeatist tack liberals take, real Americans are behind our troops 100 percent, behind John Ashcroft 100 percent, behind locking up suspected terrorists 100 percent, behind surveillance of Arabs 100 percent. Liberals become indignant when you question their patriotism, but simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love their country and hate the enemy. The New York Times ran a Tom Tomorrow cartoon sneering about Americans who believe with "unwavering faith in an invisible omniscient deity who favors those born in the middle of the North American land mass." This is how liberals conceive of America: an undifferentiated land mass in the middle of North America. Like all cartoons specially featured in the Times, there was nothing remotely funny about the cartoon. Its point was simply to convey all the proper prejudices of elitist liberals against ordinary Americans. While hooting with laughter at patriotic Americans, liberals prattle on and on about the right to dissent as the true mark of patriotism and claim their unrelenting kvetching is a needed corrective to jingoism. (It's not jingoism, and the only people who use that word are fifth columnists.) After Sept. 11, liberals are appalled by patriotism with an edge of anger because that might lead America to defend itself. True patriotism, they believe, should consist of redoubled efforts at attacking George Bush. Movie director Robert Altman (who won the Golden Globe for best director for "Gosford Park") said, "When I see an American flag flying, it's a joke. This present government in America I just find disgusting." Columbia professor Eric Foner said: "I'm not sure which is more frightening: the horror that engulfed New York City or the apocalyptic rhetoric emanating daily from the White House." I think I know the answer! Thousands of our fellow countrymen dying in a fiery inferno, I'm pretty sure, is "more frightening" than the rhetoric emanating from the White House. Liberals are angrier at John Ashcroft for questioning angry Arab immigrants applying for crop duster permits than they are about the terrorists. These people simply do not have an implacable desire to kill those who cheered the slaughter of thousands of American citizens. If you can rise above that, if you can move on from that, you weren't angry in the first place. During World War II, George Orwell said of England's pacifists: "Since pacifists have more freedom of action in countries where traces of democracy survive, pacifism can act more effectively against democracy than for it. Objectively, the pacifist is pro-Nazi." To paraphrase Orwell, in this war, those who cannot stay focused on fighting the enemy are objectively pro-terrorist. - Thursday, July 04, 2002 at 21:10:04 (EDT)
My two cents are: A little sad trying to celebrate Independence Day, knowing that your "leader" is not only a crook but the kind of sanctimonious crook who gets up and lectures others about committing the same crime. Well, America is fundamentally strong, and is based on common-sense principles and is peopled by mean and women no worse than those of any other country. We have triumphed in darker situations, so let's not let the cynical old bastards on the supreme court win for the long term. America will buck this pretender off into the mud and turds where he belongs. It is a pity that it will take until the election to do it, but also fitting, because what we needed to begin with was a real election, and not a banana-republic installation of a past president's wastrel son.

My two cents are: Glint-bob, I usually use Opera. I have seen your word-wrap fuckup only in Internet Explorer. I haven't bothered to download Netscape here, not having the heart to see how much worse the poor technoids have managed to make it since my last download. I confess I haven't looked at this page with Opera for a while. I'll check it next time. Re the music control panel, my goal for this page is to make it convenient or "user friendly." Having control buttons that I have to run a search on is less convenient than hitting the Microsoft sound controls, which, you may note, we never had to do before you fucked up trying to put in a sound-track. Now I know it seems burdensome and unfair for you to clean up after yourself, Glint. I pushed the button for the maid, but the maid didn't come, so we're all going to have to rely on you. You could be suffering worse indignities than having to confront your mistakes and deal with them like a man. At least you get to play the man part, on this side of the bars.

My two cents are:

At 16:11:49 The Taxidermist complained about a couple of things, such as "1) some of your fonts don't word wrap." I can tell by listening to your whining that you are an Internet Explorer user. You might try switching to Netscape if you want a browser that knows how to follow what the HTML instructions tell it to do. You'll find that this problem ceases to be an issue. Of course you may also run into some residual vestiges of the autorefrsh plague, as mentioned below. Also, "2) If we're going to continue with the sound-track, I'd like to see the control panel updated now and then so we don't have to scroll down so far to turn it off." I can tell that everything you know about science you learned from watching science fiction flicks from the 1950's. You probably weren't aware that once the trans martian injection burn has been performed a spacecraft doesn't need to light it's candles again until it brakes upon arrival at its destination. You seem to be under the incorrect impression that, as in those celluloid delusions of old, a rocket needs continuously burn during the entire 7 month journey to Mars. If the rocket fails do you think that it will tumble back and crash on the earth several tens of millions of miles below? Likewise, the entertaining piano tune has been "launched" on this page. It is not necessary to "update" the control panel any further. My work in that regard is done, completed, fine´. I suggest you click the button called "Help" on your browser's command bar and figure out how to perform an in-page search for the text "John P. Sousa" and then use your mouse to adjust the desired controls. If any other posters have suggestions on site maintenance or format, e-mail them to the taxidermy tech. - Thursday, July 04, 2002 at 17:05:38 (EDT)

Glint
(1) "What's the name of that march?" You mean The Stars and Stripes Forever? 

(2)Glad you enjoyed the tribbles, Ydog.  By the way, I didn't know your boss hired Asians. 

(3) "Something about anonymizer blockpage" - 13:03.  I doubt it, unless you're using some home brew browser that doesn't understand the language. That anonomizer link was several months ago.  

(4) "Might be the autorefresh, whatever that is, gnat. He Who Requested You Appear claims to be in charge of same." - 13:14:22.  The autorefresh problem has been fixed, or hadn't you noticed?  Gnat posted, bellied up to the the fox hole and squeezed off a shot.  As for Mary, I trust she'll make good on her promise of Friday, June 28, 2002 at 19:57:30 and come up with a pic ASAP.  If you see her, would you kindly remind her to get on the stick? 

That said, there may be some residual effects from the autorefresh, especially on Netscape browsers.  Windows Explorer browsers appear to be cured.  It might be because they're easier to trick. But the real reason is that the two browsere interepret things a little differently.  I don't know which is right.  I think it's one of those grey areas where interpretation was up to the implementation.
- Thursday, July 04, 2002 at 16:34:13 (EDT)
My two cents are: Fair work, Glint, and timely. A couple of fixes I'd like to see are 1) some of your fonts don't word wrap. Seems to be restricted to the smaller fonts, or to what you do to feed in the autopete as submitted. I'd like to see word wrap functional on all material where it is appropriate. You can keep centering poems, song lyrics, etc. 2) If we're going to continue with the sound-track, I'd like to see the control panel updated now and then so we don't have to scroll down so far to turn it off. Other posters: if you have suggestions on site maintenance or format, post them and if they're reasonable I'll have Glint make the necessary revisions.

My two cents are: Guy who marched to my left, a saxaphone guy, couldn't march. He had to take extra steps for some reason so he was always moving ahead into the guy in front of him, then dropping back. It was funny. It looked like his saxaphone was pulling him forward. He played holding the horn down low and hunching down toward it. Everyone else marched in time, but not that guy. I felt the distraction affected my performance. I think his name was Arnold.

My two cents are: Now comes information that the three caveats were uttered before the 2000 campaign -- by Bush's Democratic opponent, Vice President Al Gore. The Post's Glenn Kessler found in the archives this promise from Gore: "Barring an economic reversal, a national emergency, or a foreign crisis, we should balance the budget this year, next year, and every year." Gore said that to the Economic Club of Detroit in May 1998, then repeated it at least twice more, in speeches in June and November of that year.

My two cents are: I'm no lawyer, but when I heard Ari assure us that Bush filed Form 3 like he was supposed to; he only neglected Form 4, I thought I was being snowed. Classic scandal management demands that one makes the scandal seem boring, in this case a simple paper-pushing error. So I made a timeline, attached as a .txt file, of the info provided by the Center for Public Integrity linked on your site. It seems that the Form 4 was due after he sold his Harken shares and before Harken announced their losses. As I understand it, the purpose of these forms are to let the public know when insiders like Bush sell their stock so that it's harder to get away with insider trading. That makes the missing Form 4 a pretty big deal, doesn't it? As far as I can tell, the Form 3 is way back from November or December 1986 and simply reported that Bush had become a director of Harken. Saying, "Well, he filed his Form 3, just not his Form 4," is like saying, "Well, he admitted he was an employee, he just lied to cover up the embezzlement."

My two cents are: The Securities and Exchange Commission ruled the transaction phony and forced the company to restate its 1989 earnings. The SEC also investigated Bush for insider trading after he sold nearly $850,000 of Harken stock shortly before its mounting debt was publicly disclosed. The SEC eventually closed its investigation of Bush without taking action against him, although The Dallas Morning News has quoted a 1993 letter from the SEC to Bush's lawyer emphasizing that its decision "must in no way be construed as indicating that (Bush) has been exonerated."

And thus their words tuned to blood. But Pharaoh still refused to let the archive go. He squeezed it tightly and taunted He Who Posts with his lies. "Why doest thou waste thy days searching in vain for the archives? What pleasure does it bring thee to continue in thy belief? Curse thy browser and turn thy face away from the archive." But the Browser spoke once again to Him Who Posts saying, "I have heard Pharaoh's words and how he still refuses to give relief to the archive and denies freedom thereto. Thus I shall send forth a new plague. An angel shall pass over the land of Forn Url causing page reloads throughout the land. They who dwell in the land of Explorer shall see the home page reload of its own accord without being touched by the hand of man. All the while those in the land of Netscape shall be sent forth into the ancillary nether regions. Thus sayeth the Browser." On that very night the angel passed over causing all views to reload just as the Broswer had foretold. And Pharaoh wailed and beat his breast and threw sand upon his head. But the Browser once more hardened Pharaoh's heart and he did not set the archives free to find sanctuary in the ancillary wilderness. - Thursday, July 04, 2002 at 03:41:53 (EDT)

My two cents are: I hardly know an intellectual man, even, who is so broad and truly liberal that you can think aloud in his society. Most with whom you endeavor to talk soon come to a stand against some institution in which they appear to hold stock,-that is, some particular, not universal, way of viewing things. They will continually thrust their own low roof, with its narrow skylight, between you and the sky, when it is the unobstructed heavens you would view. -- Henry David Thoreau

My two cents are:

Good Lord! What would Adam think if he rose up and stuck his nose back in here? You launch a space ship, send it on its way and monitor the data it beams back for a few years. Then you forget about it. Several decades later it boomerangs back to earth and splashes down. The door gets crowbarred off and someone sticks in a flashlight only to discover that the ambient germs and bacteria have turned into fanged tribbles that are tearing the metal off the inside of the ship. <> Be that as it may, how are we coming along with the demands? Hey, I want to turn off the auto page reloading as bad as the next person. So how about working with me here? You scratch mine and I'll scratch yours. - Thursday, July 04, 2002 at 02:18:00 (EDT)
My two cents are: Liberalism-it is well to recall this today-is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right which the majority concedes to minorities and hence it is the noblest cry that has ever resounded in this planet. It announces the determination to share existence with the enemy; more than that, with an enemy which is weak. -- Jos� Ortega Y Gasset

My two cents are: But there are spirits of a yet more liberal culture, to whom no simplicity is barren. There are not only stately pines, but fragile flowers, like the orchises, commonly described as too delicate for cultivation, which derive their nutriment from the crudest mass of peat. These remind us, that, not only for strength, but for beauty, the poet must, from time to time, travel the logger�s path and the Indian�s trail, to drink at some new and more bracing fountain of the Muses, far in the recesses of the wilderness. -- Henry David Thoreau

My two cents are: The liberal holds that he is true to the republic when he is true to himself. (It may not be as cozy an attitude as it sounds.) He greets with enthusiasm the fact of the journey, as a dog greets a man�s invitation to take a walk. And he acts in the dog�s way too, swinging wide, racing ahead, doubling back, covering many miles of territory that the man never traverses, all in the spirit of inquiry and the zest for truth. He leaves a crazy trail, but he ranges far beyond the genteel old party he walks with and he is usually in a better position to discover a skunk. -- E.B. White

My two cents are: Syn: Generous; bountiful; munificent; beneficent; ample; large; profuse; free. Usage: Liberal, Generous. Liberal is freeborn, and generous is highborn. The former is opposed to the ordinary feelings of a servile state, and implies largeness of spirit in giving, judging, acting, etc. The latter expresses that nobleness of soul which is peculiarly appropriate to those of high rank, -- a spirit that goes out of self, and finds its enjoyment in consulting the feelings and happiness of others. Generosity is measured by the extent of the sacrifices it makes; liberality, by the warmth of feeling which it manifests.

Liberalism And Terrorism: Different Stages Of Same Disease

Ann Coulter - July 3, 2002

THE NEW YORK TIMES editorial page was in a snit with the 
Supreme Court this week for its first ruling on the Bush 
administration's wartime security procedures. Despite the 
hysteria at the Times for the assault on "constitutional 
rights" by Attorney General John Ashcroft, the Supreme 
Court ruled for Ashcroft.

For now, at least, deportation hearings of suspected 
terrorists will not be open to the public. This, the Times 
said, was "troubling." Sadly, the Constitution does not 
require that national security be compromised.

Like everything liberals oppose but don't have a good 
argument for, all reasonable national security measures are 
called "unconstitutional." Whenever liberals are losing on 
substance, they pretend to be upset about process.

"The good part of being Democrat is that you can commit 
crimes, sell out your base, bomb foreigners, and rape 
women, and the Democratic faithful will still think you're 
the greatest."

Through their enervating dialogues and endless concerns 
with constitutional process, liberals have made themselves 
incapable of feeling hate for the enemy. Refusing to take 
sides in this war, they busy themselves wailing about every 
security precaution taken by the Bush administration.

Ashcroft has been incessantly attacked on the op-ed page of 
The New York Times by the same columnists who are now 
angrily demanding to know why the Bush administration 
didn't imprison all Arabs before Sept. 11. He has been 
compared to the Taliban. (And you're not a patriot in this 
war until a liberal has compared you to the Taliban.)

Bill Goodman of the Center for Constitutional Rights called 
Attorney General John Ashcroft the Constitution's "main 
enemy." (As Andrew Ferguson said, evidently Osama Bin Laden 
comes in a close second.)

Sen. Patrick Do-Nothing Leahy has complained about 
Ashcroft's "disappointing" failure to run all internal 
guideline changes past the Senate Judiciary Committee. 
Instead, Sen. Do-Nothing said, "we're presented with a fait 
accompli reflecting no congressional input whatsoever."

Ashcroft was probably worried Leahy would take as long with 
procedures for investigating terrorism as he is with Bush's 
judicial nominees. If Speedy Gonzalez Leahy were required 
to review Justice Department guidelines, America would be 
an Islamic regime before Leahy got around to it.

No matter what defeatist tack liberals take, real Americans 
are behind our troops 100 percent, behind John Ashcroft 100 
percent, behind locking up suspected terrorists 100 
percent, behind surveillance of Arabs 100 percent. Liberals 
become indignant when you question their patriotism, but 
simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion 
for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love 
their country and hate the enemy.

The New York Times ran a Tom Tomorrow cartoon sneering 
about Americans who believe with "unwavering faith in an 
invisible omniscient deity who favors those born in the 
middle of the North American land mass." This is how 
liberals conceive of America: an undifferentiated land mass 
in the middle of North America. Like all cartoons specially 
featured in the Times, there was nothing remotely funny 
about the cartoon. Its point was simply to convey all the 
proper prejudices of elitist liberals against ordinary 
Americans.

While hooting with laughter at patriotic Americans, 
liberals prattle on and on about the right to dissent as 
the true mark of patriotism and claim their unrelenting 
kvetching is a needed corrective to jingoism. (It's not 
jingoism, and the only people who use that word are fifth 
columnists.)

After Sept. 11, liberals are appalled by patriotism with an 
edge of anger because that might lead America to defend 
itself. True patriotism, they believe, should consist of 
redoubled efforts at attacking George Bush.

Movie director Robert Altman (who won the Golden Globe for 
best director for "Gosford Park") said, "When I see an 
American flag flying, it's a joke. This present government 
in America I just find disgusting."

Columbia professor Eric Foner said: "I'm not sure which is 
more frightening: the horror that engulfed New York City or 
the apocalyptic rhetoric emanating daily from the White 
House." I think I know the answer! Thousands of our fellow 
countrymen dying in a fiery inferno, I'm pretty sure, 
is "more frightening" than the rhetoric emanating from the 
White House.

Liberals are angrier at John Ashcroft for questioning angry 
Arab immigrants applying for crop duster permits than they 
are about the terrorists. These people simply do not have 
an implacable desire to kill those who cheered the 
slaughter of thousands of American citizens. If you can 
rise above that, if you can move on from that, you weren't 
angry in the first place.

During World War II, George Orwell said of England's 
pacifists: "Since pacifists have more freedom of action in 
countries where traces of democracy survive, pacifism can 
act more effectively against democracy than for it. 
Objectively, the pacifist is pro-Nazi."

To paraphrase Orwell, in this war, those who cannot stay 
focused on fighting the enemy are objectively pro-terrorist.

My two cents are: Now to the story of Harken Energy, as reported in The Wall Street Journal on March 4. In 1989 Mr. Bush was on the board of directors and audit committee of Harken. He acquired that position, along with a lot of company stock, when Harken paid $2 million for Spectrum 7, a tiny, money-losing energy company with large debts of which Mr. Bush was C.E.O. Explaining what it was buying, Harken's founder said, "His name was George Bush." Unfortunately, Harken was also losing money hand over fist. But in 1989 the company managed to hide most of those losses with the profits it reported from selling a subsidiary, Aloha Petroleum, at a high price. Who bought Aloha? A group of Harken insiders, who got most of the money for the purchase by borrowing from Harken itself. Eventually the Securities and Exchange Commission ruled that this was a phony transaction, and forced the company to restate its 1989 earnings. But long before that ruling � though only a few weeks before bad news that could not be concealed caused Harken's shares to tumble � Mr. Bush sold off two-thirds of his stake, for $848,000. Just for the record, that's about four times bigger than the sale that has Martha Stewart in hot water. Oddly, though the law requires prompt disclosure of insider sales, he neglected to inform the S.E.C. about this transaction until 34 weeks had passed. An internal S.E.C. memorandum concluded that he had broken the law, but no charges were filed. This, everyone insists, had nothing to do with the fact that his father was president.

My two cents are: I don't care if George Bush gets drunk and plays pretel-mouth with Dick Cheney. I don't care that he's a liar or that he cheats at business and steals from people who invest in his company. All I care is that he keeps me safe from the terrorists. After all the Evil that the rag-tag band of Arab hooligans has tried to visit on me and my family, all the chatter and all the Puerto Rican street punks caught at the border having discussed dirty bombs, I am still safe and haven't been blow up or poisoned. I thank Bush and Ashcroft and I'll say it again. If it takes a small-time securities cheat to keep Osama bin Laden out of my water supply I'm voting for him, maybe. And I also will support his wife, although not as much as I supported his ma. There's something about that Laura. I think she's a secret feminazi. I wouldn't be surprised if she won't drive poor George to the intern stuff before he fucks up enough to render himself unelectable.

My two cents are: Felonious youth? Since when is insider trading felonious? And is somebody trying to say that Snippy is the Ivan Boesky or the Mike Miliken of the new millenium? This was small beer, a mere $850 K. Do you think someone who was dandled on the strangely ghoulish James Baker's knee would bother to snake less than a mil? No, a felony is like, when you steal hubcaps or something-- the expensive ones. Dealing crack cocaine, there's your felony. Somebody who cheats the rube investor out of $850 K through insider trading does not qualify. Besides, in his speech Snippy mentioned that it was bad to scam a billion here and a billion there. Since when is eight or nine hundred thousand bones a billion? I say he doesn't dip below 70 points on the Gallup. It's the War Against Terrorism, stupid.

COULTER TOPS NYT LIST IN BESTSELLER UPSET 

Ann Coulter's new book SLANDER: LIBERAL LIES ABOUT THE AMERICAN RIGHT is set to debut at #1 on the NEW YORK TIMES non-fiction list in two weeks -- an upset that will send shockwaves throughout Publishing Row. 

Coulter outplays John McEnroe's heavily plugged "You Cannot Be Serious" and out gurus Oprah's Phillip C. McGraw's "Self Matters". 

'SLANDER' also tops the WALL STREET JOURNAL non-fiction list right out of the chute. Coulter's polar opposite, Michael Moore, stays strong at #5 with "Stupid White Men: And Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!". 

['SLANDER' vaulted to Number One on AMAZON's best-selling hit parade in May when the book was first announced on the DRUDGE REPORT.]

My two cents are: The people in Brazil are friendly and helpful. Imagine strolling down one of the single beaches knowing you could pick out a girl and take her back to your hotel. If you start to get bored with beach scene, move on the massage parlors and thermas. Relax for a while in the steam room, have a drink, get a massage, and then pick out your woman. Your price includes the use of all the facilities and includes the woman you of choice! Later you can move on to the nightlife. Brazil features some of the most exotic nightclubs in all the world. At some of the more popular, for example Barbarella or Help, you can find a lady and have her sit down and have a drink with you. If you hit it off you can head back to your place for an amazing night of sex and fun.

My two cents are: According to their SEC Proxy statement on May 1, 1991, Harken Energy Corporation had employed Arthur Andersen & Co. for accounting services since 1976 and the Harken audit committee, including Bush, met with auditors from Arthur Andersen. The Proxy statement stated, "Arthur Andersen & Co. has continuously served Harken as independent auditors since 1976." A July 25, 1991 letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission asked for Harken to "Identify the representatives of Arthur Andersen & Co., Inc. present at the June 11, 1990 meeting of Harken's Audit Committee."

My two cents are: NEW YORK �� A revenue warning from Advanced Micro Devices gave investors another reason to question the economic recovery Wednesday, and prompted them to unload stocks once again. The latest pullback followed two straight days of steep declines, which saw the Nasdaq composite and Standard & Poor's 500 indexes close below the lows that followed the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The Nasdaq also recorded a new five-year closing low on Tuesday. In early afternoon trading, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 71.99, or 0.8 percent, at 8,935.76, after falling 102.04 on Tuesday, its second straight triple-digit decline. The broader market also sank. The Nasdaq fell 6.47, or 0.5 percent, to 1,351.35, having lost 45.95 Tuesday and closing below its post-Sept. 11 low of 1,423.19 on Monday. The Nasdaq has not finished as low as it did Tuesday since May 19, 1997.

My two cents are: Bush's sale of Harken stock returned nearly $850,000- a 200% profit, but he failed to report the transaction until March of 1991, a violation of SEC rules. Bush contended the SEC had misplaced the report. According to SEC spokesman John Heine, "As far as I know, nobody ever found the 'lost' filing." [Time, 10/28/91] Responding to new documents that show Bush was aware of Harken's financial "crisis," Bush lawyer Robert Jordan said, "By the time Bush sold his stock, the cash crisis had been largely resolved. ... By May 21, 1990, the major shareholders had agreed to a credit agreement which put $26 million into the company immediately." But Harken needed a "cash infusion of $38 million... to maintain minimum operational flexibility" - meaning that even with the $26 million credit agreement, Harken still needed $12 million. Internal Harken Energy documents noted that the company's immediate cash needs [were] at a crisis "survivor" level in May 1990 - just weeks before Bush dumped 212,000 shares of Harken stock. An internal Harken Energy Corporation "Analysis of Cash Needs" dated May 4, 1990 and covering May 1 - July 31 indicated that Harken needed a cash infusion of $30 million to "maintain survivor status, pay past due payables of $2 million and rebuild working capital of $3 million." In order to maintain "minimum operations," the company needed a "cash infusion of $38 million ... to maintain minimum operational flexibility."

A spokesman blamed it on a "clerical mistake" by company lawyers, though Bush has said government regulators lost it. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said Bush had followed the law by informing regulators of his intention to sell stock in Harken Energy Corp., a Texas oil company, in 1990. But he conceded that because of a "mix-up, a clerical mistake" by Harken lawyers, Bush had not promptly reported the sale after it took place.

My two cents are: On April 9, 1991, SEC officials Herbert F. Jannick III, Lewis J. Mendelson, and James B. Adelman filed a report, exposing Bush's failure to comply with S.E.C. disclosure requirements not once but on at least four occasions in the 1980's and 1990's. The officials also announced that the SEC staff had undertaken an investigation into Bush's windfall profit insider sale of 212,000 shares of Harken stock in July 1990, two months before Harken publicly announced its huge losses. What then occurred remains something of a mystery. Commonly, the SEC seeks court injunctions against repeat disclosure violators, barring them from repeating the offense. And the stock dump sale could have lead to more serious criminal charges, along the lines currently being discussed with regard to the directors of Enron and WorldCom. But the SEC, then overseen by a George H.W. Bush appointee, neither issued an injunction nor, it appears, followed up on the stock-dumping probe. The entire matter was deep-sixed until the Center for Public Integrity rediscovered it during the 2000 campaign.

My two cents are: Hey, here's a good one: (WASHINGTON, D.C., July 2, 2002: Special to MWO) In a shocking new development in the mounting corporate corruption scandals, it has been revealed that George W. Bush violated securities regulations at least four times in the 1980's and 1990's -- including one violation that occurred while Bush was completing precisely the sort of stock-dump swindle which his Enron executive buddies allegedly pulled off last year. The Securities and Exchange Commission discovered aspects of Bush's rip-off at the time. An internal SEC report, dated April 9, 1991 and later obtained and released by the Center for Public Integrity, noted that Dubya had established a pattern of violating SEC reporting regulations. The report also announced that SEC investigators had opened an investigation into Bush's insider stock dumping the year before. But suddenly, under then-President George H.W. Bush's hand-picked SEC chairman, the agency halted its probe of Dubya, brought no charges, and deep-sixed the case. Now, in light of George W. Bush's denunciation of exactly the sort of practices that he himself used to build his fortune, the Bush Administration is in deep crisis. Washington political observers are saying that only a full-scale probe of Bush's past corporate criminal activities -- and the possible cover-up of those activities by his father's appointees -- can restore confidence in Dubya's shaken administration.

The Star Spangled Banner


Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, 
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming? 
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight, 
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming? 
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, 
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. 
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep, 
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, 
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, 
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? 

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, 
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream: 
'T is the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

My two cents are: I have found that working with apathetic, confused, non-discriminating, and even complicit liberals to try to cut off pedophile's access to children, or deal with sexual predators of any kind, does not produce satisfying results. It's just not a priority for them. Hell, even convicted felons despise child abusers (in jail, they call them "short-eyes") and send them a clear message that hitting on kids is just "not OK" - that they are putting their lives on the line by doing so. And child abusers listen. Sometimes they even commit suicide rather than go to jail. (An interesting solution, it that saves the taxpayers a lot of money and saves the children a lot more.) But liberals, hey, they just love everybody (except of course those humorless, strident anti-pornography/sex abuse activists).

My two cents are: Very much the same but filtered through their respective upbringings and culture. On the one hand you have Glint, turgid with the repressed anger common among those who have migrated from the bleak, stern, Calvinistic Badlands of the country. On the other hand you have Pete, foaming with the all-consuming range common among those who are afraid to leave the beautiful, yet claustrophbic, Haole-hating rocks in the ocean. Both are bumpkins, both full of resentment, jealousy and fear. Their meltdowns a parallel in all the most important ways, despite the wildly different manifestations. For Pete, it always had to come down to twat-calling. I think we all knew that long ago. The signs were there. Likewise, Glint's type of meltdown was just as predictable, necessarily different because, well, Glint can't say twat (and if he can even think it, I don't want to know the context, please.) The differences are the differences between Hawaii and Nebraska. The incredible similarities are the similarities between Hawaii and Nebraska. Pete is a full-blown, balls out, loonball. Glint is the neighborhood timebomb who always seemed so nice until that thing with Brenda.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

Every newspaper is unique. At the beginning of every day, 
it exists only in the minds and imaginations of the men and
women who produce it.

     The brick and mortar of the buildings, the hardware of
the newsroom, the computers and desks and fax machines, the 
rolls of newsprint and the barrels of ink that become the 
tangible newspaper lie inert and useless until the skill of 
dedicated men and women produce the words that assign 
events their place in the archives of memory and 
recollection.

     The vision of a second newspaper in the nation's 
capital, speaking to the world in a robust voice, first 
sprang to life in the imagination of the Rev. Sun Myung 
Moon.

     The birth of The Washington Times was not celebrated 
by a press establishment grown smug and complacent. The 
Times was to be a different kind of newspaper, one that 
would go for inspiration "back to the future," to a time of 
national consensus on issues of ethics and morality, with 
an emphasis on the message and not the messenger. We would 
not only cover the news without slant or bias, but give 
voice to those who had been shut out of the national debate.

     Though the founding vision was that of a religious 
figure, a man of another country and another culture, The 
Times was to be wholly secular, to hold to no sectarian 
cause, to champion no denomination above any other, but 
never to mock faith and belief, to proselytize only for the 
principles that liberate men from the tyranny of closed 
minds. 

     It was an unlikely enterprise. There was first a wide 
cultural divide to bridge, not only between East and West, 
but between devout and religious men and a rowdy and 
eccentric collection of rogues, scamps and vagabonds, all 
skeptical of nearly everything, living by the famous 
newsroom maxim that "if your mother says she loves you, 
check it out." Most of us are only vaguely religious, if 
religious at all, and those of us with faith and belief 
hold to a faith very different from that of the founder.

     Nothing could have come of the founding vision without 
unqualified independence for the men and women who produce 
the newspaper. We've never been told to put anything in the 
paper; more important, perhaps, we've never been asked to 
leave anything out. All that ever was asked was that we put 
out the newspaper born of the vision, faithful to the task 
of reporting the news without fear or favor, to get it 
first and get it right. A decade of dedication, followed by 
a second decade of distinction in the task, made believers 
of hundreds of thousands of readers in every state of the 
union and throughout the world, loyal to a newspaper that 
seeks to be faithful to what is good and important.

      Tradition, custom, belief and practice are held 
important at The Times in an age when much of what our 
forefathers brought forth on this providential continent is 
unappreciated; when even the struggles of our grandfathers 
are unknown or unappreciated, or both; when Washington, 
Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Marshall and Madison are often 
as unfamiliar as Solon, Leonidas and Pericles.

      "Traditions are mighty influences in restraining 
peoples," Richard Taylor, the soldier-philosopher, wrote 
more than a century ago. "The light that reaches us from 
above takes countless time to traverse the awful chasm 
separating us from that parent star; yet it comes straight 
and true to our eyes, because each tender wavelet is linked 
to the other, receiving and transmitting the luminous ray. 
Once break the continuity of the stream, and men will deny 
its heavenly origin, and seek its source in the feeble 
glimmer of earthly corruption." 

     We look to the continuity of that stream, guided by 
that luminous ray.

 The Judge the Supreme Court Loves to Overturn 

by Matt Rees 

STEPHEN REINHARDT is the liberal badboy of the federal judiciary. He is ideological, outlandish, and never dull. The 66-year-old judge, appointed by Jimmy Carter in 1980 to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, is well known to the Supreme Court, which has a habit of overturning his opinions. 

In fact, Reinhardt is one of the most overturned judges in history. In this term alone, the high court has reversed seven opinions that Reinhardt has either written or been party to. These haven't been narrow reversals, either--all seven of them have been unanimous. Moreover, four other opinions in which Reinhardt had a hand--including his notorious conclusion that there is a constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide--are now pending before the court. In his many years on the bench, Reinhardt has proven himself one of those judges who view the Constitution as an infinitely malleable document in which myriad "rights" can be divined. He has ruled that farmers lack the standing to challenge the Endangered Species Act because they are motivated by "an economic interest." He has ruled that the use of police dogs to track down drugs or criminal suspects violates the Fourth Amendment (which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures). Decisions such as these have made him a revered figure of the legal Left--in 1987, the California Trial Lawyers named him "Appellate Judge of the Year." With every reversal, Reinhardt's image grows in the eyes of those who view him as a last, left-activist outpost. 

After Carter placed him on the bench, in the final months of his presidency, Reinhardt had to endure 12 years of conservative Republican appointments. He had hoped that Bill Clinton would be equally aggressive in appointing liberals, for Reinhardt believes that courts can and should be used as agents of social change. (For him, Earl Warren is "one of the greatest justices of all time.") But by the standards of left-wing legal tastes, Clinton's judges have been a fairly moderate bunch. 

This infuriates a warrior like Reinhardt, who in 1994 took the highly unorthodox step of blasting the president: "Reagan and Bush really changed the philosophy of the courts, and not for the better," he said. "Clinton had the opportunity to do the same, and he blew it." A year later, he wrote to Eleanor Acheson, the assistant attorney general in charge of judicial nominations, and asked, "Do you stand for anything?" And a few days prior to Clinton's second inauguration, Reinhardt zinged the president in a San Francisco speech for not having nominated a black or a Hispanic judge to the Ninth Circuit. In the same speech, he hailed Thelton E. Henderson, the district-court judge who blocked implementation of the anti-affirmative-action California Civil Rights Initiative, as "a shining judicial star" and charged that "an abler, more committed president would have found a way" to promote Henderson to the Ninth Circuit. 

Reinhardt saw an opening in May 1994 when Clinton nominated Stephen Breyer to the Supreme Court. The judge wrote an open letter to Breyer in the Los Angeles Times calling on him to become the court's liberal conscience. "There are lots of able technicians," he said, but the nation "is entitled to at least one justice with vision, with breadth, with idealism, with--to say the word despised in the Clinton administration--a liberal philosophy and an expansive approach to jurisprudence." As to the problem of Breyer's not being a Reinhardt-style liberal, the judge wrote, "I hope you will re-examine your philosophy," and "when you emerge, I hope it will be to assume the mantle of the Brennan-Warren legacy. Otherwise, that voice will be silenced--perhaps permanently." 

Reinhardt is also a bully, with little sympathy for his opposition. Though he and Kozinski are friends and sometime public-debating partners, Reinhardt has spared him nothing. When Kozinski dissented from a 1995 decision striking down an English-only initiative, Reinhardt did something few other judges would even think of doing: He wrote a separate concurrence to the majority opinion for the sole purpose of assailing Kozinski, the dissenter. "Judge Kozinski's view of the rights of non-English speaking persons would make the Statue of Liberty weep," Reinhardt wrote, evoking the specter of an "Orwellian world" and "Big Brother." Were Kozinski's views ever implemented, he added, the victims would be "people who are not as fortunate or as well educated as he--people who are neither able to write for nor read the Wall Street Journal" (to which Kozinski occasionally contributes). 

Though a graduate of Yale Law School, Reinhardt lacked the normal credentials of a federal judge when Carter nominated him. He had toiled primarily as a Democratic activist and labor lawyer, functioning as a member of Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley's inner circle. Reinhardt is recalled by the city's politicos as ruthless. And he brought his sharp political elbows into the courtroom, where he has been, by certain measures, a success.

My two cents are: If I had it to do over again, I'd just let it rip," Gore told a private gathering of many of his most significant donors and fundraisers, according to an aide who relayed the remarks to reporters. "To hell with the polls, tactics and all the rest. I would have poured out my heart and my vision for America's future." Gore's comments won a standing ovation from those supporters, who were near-universal in their encouragement for him to run again. His remarks came after both his wife, Tipper, and eldest daughter, Karenna Gore Schiff, emphatically said they would like to see him challenge President Bush in 2004. Gore later told reporters that he will decide "sometime after the first of the year" -- the first time he has offered a timetable for his own planning. He signaled that, based on the lessons learned from 2000, he would try to run a different kind of campaign. "I would spend more time speaking from the heart on a few occasions each week, addressing the major challenges of the country in-depth, and spend a lot less time going to media events and making tactical moves," Gore said. While Al Gore would do well to ratchet up the intensity of his delivery, his campaign was in no way "unsuccessful" as the media whores are working overtime to make you believe. Had there been no theft of the election and had Gore been permitted to serve in office to which he was elected, there would be little talk of a "failed" campaign. To some degree, every criticism of the Gore campaign as a failure (as opposed to legitimate advice for his next campaign) is, in one sense, an acknowledgement of a Bush "victory" and a reward to those who stole your vote. Al Gore's 2000 victory was, in fact, a miracle. Al Gore successfully overcame the vicious, lying rabid right and won the election. He successfully overcame the fuzzy-headed Naderite left who fancied itself more principled and attuned to America (despite Nader's 2% showing), and won the election. He successfully overcame the screeching media whores, who attempted to destroy him, in part as vengeance for their loss of public esteem after a failed, decade long effort to destroy president Clinton - and won the election. Al Gore won the national popular vote and the Florida vote after a long, grueling campaign, throughout which he was under relentless attack on three fronts. The Clinton economy worked against Al Gore. Unfortunately, many Americans - particularly the predominantly capricious, mindless "undecideds" - don't respond to "what might happen" to the economy. They only respond to what is happening to them at any given moment. Therefore, promotion of the Clinton economy was unlikely to resonate to the extent some Gore critics believe it might have. In 2000 the media whores convinced the brainless but crucial "undecideds" that, because the economy was more or less taken care of, they had the luxury of voting "issues" like personality and character. What's more, they convinced this gullible, wishy-washy group that Bush was a likable guy with character, neither of which is true. In 2004, it is likely most of these former undecideds will find themselves feeling the effects of their grave mistake (voting for Bush). Al Gore will be a reminder of the good old days of the Clinton years of peace and prosperity. What's more, he'll be inoculated from the same old, stale Kool Kids criticisms. That is, unless those criticisms are taken up by misguided Democrats - the only real threat to a second Gore victory over Bush. Democrats should recognize the high likelihood of a Gore re-nomination in 2004, and they should recognize the counterproductive effects of joining the Kool Kids in their juvenile and baseless Gore bashing. Democrats should stop emphasizing whether a potential candidate gets them "fired up" above all else, and instead ask themselves how "fired up" they are right now over the illegitimate regime occupying the White House. "Fired up" is good. There is no argument against "firing up" voters. But there is nothing to be gained by falling into the media whore trap of either regarding an ability to elicit an emotion of "fired up" as the most important (or even "an" important) quality in a candidate - or accepting the premise that Al Gore doesn't have the ability to "fire up" a crowd (anyone who watched the 2000 convention speech knows otherwise). The winner of the 2004 election will be a Democrat or a Republican. We would do well to heed a slight revision of Reagan's 11th commandment in advance of the next general election: Never speak ill of another Democrat. Especially one who might be the only thing standing between you and another four years of Bush/Rove rule. The Democratic Party has never been known as the stupid party. That's the Republics. Don't allow the media whores to enlist you in their efforts to cripple the candidacy of the person who will likely be running against Governor Bush in 2004. Democrats: Lay off Al Gore. Have some respect for the man elected to the US presidency in 2000 after earning the votes of over 50 million Americans, despite the best efforts of the infantile far left and conservative extremists, along with their media whore accomplices.

The thing is, after debunking the "guy could never turn the font red in a million years" earlier I got to thinking. WWJD? When the rabble cackled and wagged their heads and fingers at him would he have worked a miracle and made it not hurt? No. Would Jesus have turned the Cross into balsa wood, like water into wine, when carrying it up the hill, and made the Crown of Thorns into a Magic Fingers� Massage Tiara? No, I think not. No, Jesus would fulfill his destiny and suck it up. So I decided that's what I would do. So now when someone comes around and says, "Glint $%&@ed everything up" and "only Adam can fix this," I'll simply open up my palms and let the nails go where they may. Oh ye of little faith who have seen the font change to blood before your eyes yet ye still doubt. Woe unto thee pharasies and scribes, ye brood of vipers even. - Monday, July 01, 2002 at 17:15:24 (EDT)

It is beyond the long arm of the corn-cob. Only Adam can fix this, and Adam has gone walkabout. Left instructions with the postmistress to killfile any messages from Maryland, no doubt. It was like being the unrequited love-object of Linda Tripp, walking by her house every morning and shuddering to see her in there casting longing moon-eyes at him. Except it was a gourd-faced junior java boy sending e-mails. Lemmie outta here! Time to get a job at the turnip factory in Las Cruces.

My two cents are: SNOW: Al Gore gave a speech last night. I want to show you part of the speech, because he's criticizing your administration's handling of affairs in the Middle East and also the war on terror. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) AL GORE, FORMER VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: President Bush unfortunately has allowed his political team to use the war as a political wedge to divide Americans. They haven't gotten Osama bin Laden or the Al Qaida operation, and they have refused to allow enough troops from the international community to be put into Afghanistan to keep it from sliding back under control of the warlords. (END VIDEO CLIP) SNOW: Your reaction? POWELL: With all due respect to former Vice President Gore, that's patent nonsense. We have a good situation in Afghanistan. We have gotten rid of the Taliban. Al Qaida's on the run, and we'll chase them down. It's time-consuming. I noticed the previous administration didn't even make a serious try at it. And we have just seen a loya jirgah which continued the authority in Kabul under President Karzai. We have 12,000 troops there, under Operation Enduring Freedom, going after the Taliban remnants and Al Qaida. And we have an international security assistance force in Kabul. And we're constantly reviewing the security situation in the region.

American Hero - Monday, July 01, 2002 at 10:40:22 (EDT)
My two cents are: Why we should be worried about George W Bush 29jun02 THE world outside the US is now getting used to the fact Americans have a fraudulently elected nitwit as their president, but George W. Bush excelled himself this week with a "long-awaited" definitive speech on Middle East policies that stretched even the weirdest imaginations. BRUCE WILSON in London reports: US embassies around the world moved to "explain" the batty future Bush saw for Israel and Palestine, but nothing could disguise that the bedbug was running the White House and anything could happen next. Hey, look. Even Tom Cruise is worried. In London this week he said he wanted his adopted kids brought up outside the USA because of what happens inside the USA. He listed terrorism and street crime, but very cogently he listed corporate crime as a reason not to bring up kids in the old US of A. Now, Tom Cruise is not a Grade A rocket scientist. In fact, he is a Grade A Scientologist. On the whole, though, I would say he was brighter than George W. Bush (along with my neighbour's catatonic cat) and it was most intriguing that he named corporate crime as a reason not to want to grow up in America. The WorldCom affair comes after the Enron affair while the Andersen affair simply defies belief. It has become perfectly clear that major US corporations have been running out of control, throwing billions of dollars into a kind of international financial black hole. In vain you ask (as I tried to do), well, where has the money gone? I mean, if you back a loser at Randwick, then you know where your money went. If these companies have lost billions � $US3.8 billion in the case of WorldCom � why hasn't somebody won it? Or got it? Where has it gone? Or, more to the point, did it ever exist? Of course it did, said the Doormouse. Otherwise, it could never have been lost and 17,000 people sacked for the lack of it. This is Alice in Wonderland stuff, capitalism rattling around like a high-velocity round in a mental vacuum. Where was government? Where was control? Twenty years ago, when I lived in Washington, the US was said to have a trillion-dollar-a-day economy that was so strong not even government could screw it. Now, you have to ask if things have turned, that apparent fraudsters like WorldCom can screw government. Dubya Bush seems reluctant to address these issues. He is a Texan (although not by breeding) and there they let things take their course, execute mentally deficient minors, and generally behave like good old boys, taking the Chevy to the levee. If it were not for September 11, Bush would be in serious political trouble in America. He may be yet, in the mid-term November elections. His shocked nation rallied around him as the personification of The Flag when the atrocities stunned us all. His personal rating broke all records. Since then, though, what? On this side of the Atlantic he is seen as a kind of strange joke. Britons try to understand him, but in Europe they simply think of him as a sort of circus act. The Middle East pronouncement was so absurd they didn't know whether to laugh or simply ask the US senior political attache over for a commiserating drink. These concerns are based on the belief � that seems to be proven � that Washington itself is a divided city. Colin Powell, in State, is trying to plead reason over the clamouring voices in Defence, led by Donald Rumsfeld, clearly a man not always entirely in control of his senses. Bush is listening to Rumsfeld, and other strange voices � not least the Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon. And, as he does, the US looks more and more to be a long way away from the rest of the world.

My two cents are: Damn, you had to show the picture. Wouldn't it be nice to have an elected President, an intelligent, experienced, altruistic man, someone who can read, someone who can understand, someone who can act and make intelligent decision? Someone who wouldn't, say, stand up and say "you guys better have elections and you better not elect the guy I don't want you to elect or you'll be sorry." Someone who wouldn't select a no-talent scam artist as his vice president or a vicious holy-roller lunatic as his attorney-general? Someone who knows how to live large and enjoy himself and sport with young women? Someone who would make Glint put on the cigar suit of shame? He's torturing us with the memory.

My two cents are: I liked those Sousa songs. The one that goes, "oh the monkey wrapped his tail around the flag pole, to watch the grass grow, on his ass hole." I didn't mind that at all, being blessed with this little windows picture of a horn that you can click on to turn down the volume. Dr. Whore-a is a fox, too. The beaver shots are all over the web, so maybe glint will throw in a reference to them. I'd try it myself but I'm afraid the Webmaster will turn the fonts red, if glint doesn't to it first.

My two cents are: It's some consolation that Glint is a pro. I'd like to see him do my job as well as I can do his. I'd like to see him give a haircut to a 7-year-old Mexican kid, and watch mamacita smiling out the door.

My two cents are: And yet, I never really got a chance to drink the wisdom of that Canadian guy, the one who had Nixon figured out. The one who never heard the tape of Nixon ordering his boys to bust up the safe at the Brookings institute, goddamn it, and make it look like somebody else did it. Mess it up good goddamn it.
