My two cents are: THE WORLD RISES UP AGAINST WAR: - February 15: Millions march around the world today to say "No War Against Iraq" - Organizing begins for March 1 Emergency Convergence on the White House It is one of the great ironies of recent history that the ultra-militarist policies of the Bush administration, threatening a catastrophic war of aggression against Iraq, have been the catalyst to a global anti-war movement unlike anything that has existed for three decades -- that is, since the close of the Vietnam War. Large anti-war demonstrations took place in most of the major cities of the world. All told, more than 600 cities and towns were the scene of simultaneous protests. In the United States, most of the major anti-war coalitions fully mobilized for the February 15 actions. In New York City, the people defied police refusal to grant a march permit by turning the upper east side broad boulevards into a sea of humanity. Hundreds of thousands filled First Avenue, Second Avenue and Third Avenue. On First Avenue the rally stretched from 52nd St. past 80th St. Second and Third Avenues, and even over to Lexington Avenue, were clogged with demonstrators who were prevented by police barricades and checkpoints from reaching the main assembly site. The police also used horses, clubs and pepper spray to carry out assaults against peaceful protesters. The National Lawyers Guild reports that over 320 people have been arrested, and that many are being held in tight handcuffs without access to water, food or bathroom facilities. The following links are some photos of the NYC demonstration: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/030215/168/3a6x9.html http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/030215/168/3a88t.html In Los Angeles, 100,000 demonstrated in the largest anti-war protest in many years. Opening the Los Angeles rally, Michel Shehadeh of the Free Palestine Alliance and the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition welcomed the crowd with the words that "the demonstrations today taking place all over the world are revealing the fact that the Bush administration's planned war of aggression is now in direct confrontation with the will of the people everywhere." Demonstrations took place in scores of cities throughout the United States. 5,000 marched in Houston, 7,000 in Chicago, more than 7,000 in Sacramento, thousands marched in San Jose and Detroit. We are encouraging organizers in different cities to send in reports about their actions. Internationally, the demonstrations included some of the biggest ever. The original call for the February 15 demonstrations came from the European anti-war movement. In London, the demonstration was nearly two million according to march organizers. Millions more marched throughout Europe -- in Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Rome and throughout the continent. In Damascus, 200,000 marched. Tens of thousands marched in Buenos Aires. In Toronto, 80,000 took to the streets. We will try to compile a list of the turnout at other demonstrations that took place on all continents and have that list available tomorrow. On March 1, there will be an Emergency Convergence on the White House in Washington DC. In the coming days, we will see whether the Bush administration intends to defy the will of the people and plunge ahead with his criminal war plans. Everyone recognizes that it is critical that the movement maintain momentum and visibility as a means to further ignite grassroots opposition everywhere. At the White House convergence on March 1, thousands of people will demand No War on Iraq. They will also call for George Bush to be impeached for crimes committed in planning and executing war abroad and assaulting constitutionally protected civil rights and civil liberties at home.

My two cents are: Insanity can be defined as that which finds a way around what is reality or common sense, and therefore contradicts it. A prime example of this in Alice�s Adventures in Wonderland is the Cheshire Cat. The cat admits his insanity by saying �To begin with . . .a dog�s not mad. . . . You see, a dog growls when it�s angry, and wags its tail when it�s pleased. Now I growl when I�m pleased and wag my tail when I�m angry. Therefore, I�m mad�(Carroll 64). The Cheshire Cat proves that insanity is just a contradiction of the norm by this explanation, however, he proves it in a rational way. The Queen of Hearts is far from rational when her contradictory actions speak her insanity. When the poem implies that the Queen has �fits,� she furiously denies it and throws an inkstand at Bill the lizard. This is a complete contradiction, therefore, by the Cheshire Cat�s logic, she is insane. In Alice�s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice perceives the people in control as insane. �Genius is insanity usefully applied� is another definition of insanity. Sabian Marc Edmund Jones writes �Genius and insanity are identical in the fact that both are abnormality . . . It is insanity if it is discovered before it justifies itself and genius if it justifies itself before its discovery�(Jones 1). . Carroll also shows via symbolism that the characters at the tea party are geniuses through the principle of reality. In the Mad Hatter�s and March Hare�s realities, the time is always six o�clock. This continuing of the same time shows the genius of these characters. Whereas insanity shortens experience and to the insane man the reality of the moment is intensified, the genius lengthens the experience and is able to contribute something long lasting to society. The pausing of time reflects the disturbed genius that is present in the Hatter and Hare, but has not yet produced any fruit, and therefore seems like insanity (Jones 1-2). There is a thin line between genius and insanity, but the general populace, courts, and systems of government mad in the sense of idiocy and lunacy. Both Carroll and Adams write complete absurdities as satire in their works to point out the stupidity and madness of society (socialsits in general) and the things it is ruled by. By using a �democracy� of a people ruled by lizards, the author shows the stupidity of people voting for something they hate. The madness of a world voting for lizards (socialsits) is part of the problems and stupidity in the democratic societies in real life. Lizards are clearly politicians � they rule the people, no one likes them, and yet the people continue to vote for them. This is madness and idiocy in and of itself. Only the fear of the wrong lizard (politician) being in control keeps the people voting. Seeing as one lizard is very much like another, voting makes no difference. This society, lead by lizards, is really ruled by the morons that keep putting the lizards in power. Any world that continually votes for something it hates is the paramount of lunacy and idiocy and by doing so says �the morons are in charge.� The Queen of Hearts is the essence of court ineffectuality. The Queen continually yells �Off with their heads!� and yet executions are never carried out. Adams agrees with Carroll on this point � the courts are ineffectual. The folly in �Off with their heads!� is that no matter how small the offending �crime� is, the penalty is the same. The crimes of beating the Queen at croquet and stealing tarts both have the same punishment although one is not a crime at all. During this period, the legal system is extremely brutal, and the death penalty is given for numerous paltry offences (Schlossberg 1). Carroll ridicules the Victorian legal system, and shows that the people in charge are ineffectual lunatics, prepared to at least threaten, if not give, punishments of the worst degree to the wrong people. The entire world and the people in it are insanely nonsensical. For example, Alice, in her dream reality, has a conversation with a mouse about history, and talks to a caterpillar about her identity crisis. In Wonderland, these things are all quite true and happening, yet a �normal� person would dismiss them as insanities because they are seemingly Alice�s own invention and are contradictory to sense (Jung 471). The coup de grace would be the Cheshire Cat�s statement �We are all mad here . . . you must be [mad] or you wouldn�t have come here.� This is Carroll�s major statement on the world. This statement means that everyone on Earth is mad, and everyone has to be mad because Earth is a place made by lunacy for lunacy, just like Wonderland. The truth governs both Alice�s reality and the real world, yet truth itself is bizarre and nonsensical. These absurdities, actually being the truth, prove the world to be mad. The truth is that life, the universe, and everything is insane. Whether or not the situation can be remedied is another question." So, to make a long story short, take out Saddam and we ahve answered his question with better madness. Better madness trumps lousy madness any day. End of story. Doink.

My two cents are: London today became the scene for what appears to be the biggest public rally in British history. Throughout the world, millions gathered to protest at the prospect of a war in Iraq. In hundreds of cities, including Damascus, Athens, Seoul, Rome, Tokyo and Sydney, demonstrators marched, chanted and unfurled banners against conflict in the Middle East. The London demonstration, which organisers currently estimate to be 1.5m people strong, began ahead of its scheduled starting time as the numbers congregating at Embankment forced police to allow them to march through Westminster and Whitehall earlier than expected. Scotland Yard is unable to confirm exact figures at present, but said the numbers ran into hundreds of thousands. Organiser John Rees, of the Stop the War Coalition, said the atmosphere was "great". He added: "The march is huge. People are cheering and making lots of noise. Ken Livingstone is up at the front of the march." A second march started in Gower Street, central London, and met with the first at Picadilly Circus. There were loud cheers from the thousands who gathered around the statue of Eros when the two marches joined up. All around them, main streets were packed with people walking 20 abreast. All ages were represented among the marchers, from babies to pensioners. Many had travelled with family or friends to voice their concerns. A few thousand people had already gathered in Hyde Park, the destination of both marches, where a rally was later held. US civil rights campaigner the Rev Jesse Jackson thanked the protesters for being a part of the largest demonstration against war "in the history of Britain and the history of the world". "It's cold outside but our hearts are warm. It may be winter but all of you together are generating some serious street heat," he said. "George Bush can feel it, Tony Blair can feel it. Turn up the heat." Mr Livingstone, the London mayor, mounted a sustained personal attack on Mr Bush. "This is an American president who uses the death penalty with complete abandon and disregard for any respect for life. This is no example," he told the rally. "So let everyone recognise what has happened here today, that Britain does not support this war for oil. The British people will not tolerate being used to prop up the most corrupt and racist American administration in over 80 years." Other high-profile figures at the rally were musicians Damon Albarn and Ms Dynamite, model Kate Moss, peace campaigner Bianca Jagger, politician Mo Mowlam and playwright Harold Pinter. British Transport Police said that railways around London were extremely busy, with extra services being put on to accommodate the protesters. "They're jam-packed," a spokesman said. "The people are coming from all over." Bearing placards featuring slogans including "make tea, not war", protesters have travelled from all parts of the UK. For thousands, it was their first protest march, with many having joined new anti-war groups formed in their villages, churches and colleges. Marchers will include a group of Bedford taxi drivers called Britons Versus Bush and a collection of DJs dubbed Ravers Against the War. The London demonstration was organised by Stop the War Coalition, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and the Muslim Association of Great Britain. More than 450 other organisations affiliated themselves to the coalition including Greenpeace, the Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and the SNP. But concerns have been expressed in the Jewish community that the anti-war march has been linked to the "Freedom for Palestine" campaign. Some Jewish and Arab protesters were, however, marching together. Thousands of anti-war protesters also took to the streets of Glasgow, marching through the city centre towards the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, where the Labour party's spring conference is being held. Around 61,000 people are estimated to haven taken part in the largest-ever peace demonstration ever staged north of the border. Mr Blair speaking in Glasgow, said that he "respected and understood" people's desire to march

My two cents are:

"Why is it," Aristotle asked in the fourth century B.C., "that all men who are outstanding in philosophy, poetry or the arts are melancholic?" Three hundred years ago, the English poet John Dryden wrote, "Great wits are sure to madness near allied; And thin partitions do their bounds divide," a sweet couplet that has since degenerated into the sorry cliche "There is a thin line between genius and madness." - Saturday, February 15, 2003 at 18:00:26 (EST)

My two cents are: From New York to Melbourne, Cries for Peace By ROBERT D. McFADDEN onfronting America's countdown to war, throngs of chanting, placard-waving demonstrators converged on New York and scores of cities across the United States, Europe and Asia today in a global daisy chain of largely peaceful protests against the Bush administration's threatened invasion of Iraq. Three years after vast crowds turned out around the world to celebrate the new millennium, millions gathered again today in a darker mood of impending conflict, forming a patchwork of demonstrations that together, organizers said, made up the largest, most diverse peace protest since the Vietnam War. Advertisement On a freezing winter day in New York, a huge crowd, prohibited by a court order from marching, rallied within sight of the United Nations amid heavy security. They raised banners of patriotism and dissent, sounded the hymns of a broad new antiwar movement and heard speakers denounce what they called President Bush's rush to war, while offering no sympathy for Iraq's dictator, Saddam Hussein. "The World Says No to War," proclaimed a huge banner over a stage on First Avenue near 51st Street, the focal point of a vast crowd that filled the avenue between 49th and 72nd Streets and spilled over into the side streets and to Second, Third and Lexington Avenues, where thousands more were halted at police barricades, far from the sights and sounds of the demonstration. Crowd estimates are often little more than politically tinged guesses, and the police did not provide one. Organizers said that more than 400,000 people attended and, given the sea of faces extending for more than a mile up First Avenue and the ancillary crowds that were prevented from joining them, the claim did not appear to be wildly improbable. There were similar though smaller demonstrations in Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, San Diego, Sacramento, Miami and scores of other American cities, organized under the umbrella of United for Peace and Justice, a coalition of 120 organizations. In London, 500,000 to 750,000 people rallied in Hyde Park, while 200,000 gathered at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and hundreds of thousands more protested in Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Barcelona, Rome, Melbourne, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Auckland, Seoul, Tokyo and Manila. Many contended that America's interest in Iraq had more to do with oil than disarming a dangerous tyrant. Protests unfolded in more than 350 cities around the world � some drawing hundreds of thousands, others only a few hundred � and for the most part the dissents were peaceful. There were about two dozen arrests for disorderly conduct in New York, and the police in Athens fired tear gas and clashed with demonstrators who threw a gasoline bomb, but no injuries were reported. The demonstrations were the culmination of a global campaign that has been building for weeks in opposition to the growing threat of war, with thousands marching, rallying, signing petitions, raising funds, publishing articles and using the Internet to enlist a diverse coalition of citizens and celebrities. Unlike the stereotypical scruffy, pot-smoking, flag-burning anarchists of the Vietnam era, today's protests were joined by a wide segment of the political spectrum: college students, middle-aged couples, families, older people who had marched for civil rights, and groups representing labor, the environment and religious, business and civic organizations. For most demonstrators, President Bush was the chief villain, a casualty of what some called an obsession with his father's Persian Gulf War in 1991 and its failure to oust Saddam Hussein. Other targets were Mr. Bush's secretary of defense, Donald H. Rumsfeld, and his secretary of state, Colin L. Powell. "I came to go to the rally and be a part of a global voice against going to war against Iraq again," said Mary Baxter, 31, employed by a software company in Cambridge, Mass., whose quiet solemnity seemed typical. "I feel the current administration has been escalating and destabilizing things. I'm disappointed that Colin Powell is going along with Bush, Cheney and the rest of them."

My two cents are: John McCain: "the greatest failure of the Clinton administration was the agreement they made with North Korea, which allowed them to reach the stage where there are today, where they have nuclear weapons." "We supported their regime," he continued, "with over a billion dollars and fuel while 2 million of their citizens starved to death (and) 200,000 of their people are in gulags reminiscent of Joseph Stalin." McCain recommended that the U.S. not negotiate with North Korea, but instead begin intensive talks with China, South Korea, Japan and Russia to force Pyongyang to comply with the nuclear nonproliferation treaty."

My two cents are:

go anne go Casting-Couch Bolsheviks February 12, 2003 SADDAM HUSSEIN has put the people of Iraq on an "Orange" alert this week in response to Iraqi intelligence picking up an increase in "chatter" out of Hollywood. Actors go into a frenzy whenever they sense that world events could pre-empt their appearances on "Entertainment Tonight." They've been in March Hare mode lately, so Iraq is in a state of high alert. For the past few months, Saddam had been lulled into a sense of security. We haven't heard from Barbra Streisand since she turned with a vengeance to figuring out the difference between Iran and Iraq. George Clooney disappeared, hoping people would forget his inside tip that, in the rush to war, Bush had cut a deal with France so they wouldn't complain when we attack Iraq. That was a month ago, and the French are still resolutely whining. Apparently even the French have more manhood than George Clooney. So things had grown quiet in America's headlong "rush to war," which we've been talking about for over a year now. But in the past week, the anti-war "chatter" out of Hollywood has increased. Singers, models, actors and vegan hysteric Kim Basinger have all come out against the war. Liberals see themselves as part of a deployment. Richard Gere's analysis of the war was: "I keep asking myself where all this personal enmity between George Bush and Saddam Hussein comes from. It's like the story of Captain Ahab and the great white whale from 'Moby-Dick.'" Gere refused to comment when asked whether he had read "Moby-Dick." Fresh from receiving a lifetime achievement award for his geopolitical insights, Dustin Hoffman said that Bush "has taken the events of 9-11 and has manipulated the grief of the country, and I think that's reprehensible." He explained that "this war is about what most wars are about: hegemony, money, power and oil." Hoffman refused comment when asked to spell "hegemony." Madonna has put out the word that her next music video contains a shocking anti-war message, including footage of simulated dead Iraqi babies, which is expected to be a bigger draw than her latest movie, "Swept Away," featuring footage of Madonna in a bathing suit. Three days after the Sept. 11 attacks, Madonna was on stage in Los Angeles exhorting the audience to pray for no retaliation against the perpetrators. Between songs and simulated live sex acts, the always circumspect gay-disco chanteuse explained: "Violence begets violence." When it comes to negative reviews, Madonna's publicist takes a more sanguine view of "retaliation." Even model Kate Moss took time out from her drug habit to really wrap her head around this war issue. Terrified that an attack on Iraq could lead to an attack on Colombia and dry up the supply, she is foursquare against the war. The mascot of the anti-war movement is Janeane Garofalo. Upon hearing Garofalo's pronouncements on Iraq, her manager sputtered, "Ten years in the business and now she's making with the jokes?" When a feminist as strident as Garofalo is defending the Hussein regime, you have to wonder if her newfound sobriety has hit a rough patch. One imagines Saddam Hussein watching Janeane Garofalo on television with more perplexity than satisfaction. Garofalo has said that "dropping bombs on the Iraqis is not going to disarm Saddam." No, it will kill him. That's good enough. Trading in her Gen-X sneer for a nitwit's hysteria, Garofalo warned: "America will pay a very, very high, irrevocable price for this!" The lemon pucker puss said extremist groups will strike us "if we do this war." Things were going just great before we began to "do this war" � that's if you don't count the unpleasantness of Sept. 11. To state the manifestly obvious: Extremist groups are going to hit us eventually anyway. Let's make it a matter of honor and see what they've got. In a modern version of the Iran-Iraq war, actor Sean Penn is accusing Steve Bing, Hollywood producer and general degenerate, of blacklisting him from a film in retaliation for his peacenik activities. (Bing, you'll recall, was our featured Democrat a few months back.) What a smart president would do in these circumstances is sell arms to the weaker party and use the proceeds to fund anti-Saddam contras, then sit back and let the Democrats work themselves into a frenzy about an alleged technical violation of the Boland Amendment. In addition to increased "chatter" from these casting-couch philosophers, Iraqi intelligence has been keeping an eye on a gas explosion on the Senate floor. Not a celebrity except for the substance abuse, Sen. Teddy Kennedy was lowered by crane to the Senate floor last week to denounce the case for war. Secretary of State Colin Powell was just wrapping up his presentation to the United Nations when Kennedy began his rebuttal. (Kennedy's position on Iraq is: Let's cross that bridge when we get to it.) Even the Iraqis listened to the case against Iraq with more of an open mind than Kennedy did. They at least paused for a moment before responding. Now that the Iraqis have responded, we can add one more charge to the case against Iraq: Saddam is plagiarizing Teddy Kennedy. - Saturday, February 15, 2003 at 15:44:42 (EST)

My two cents are: New Spending Bill Angers Conservatives February 15, 2003 10:14 AM EST WASHINGTON - The government-wide $397.4 billion spending bill that President Bush will sign in coming days marks the first time in a half-century such legislation was written with Republicans controlling the White House and Congress. So what kind of measure did the GOP write? One that infuriated many conservatives, and won the votes of three of every four House Democrats and three of five Senate Democrats, including liberals like Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Tom Harkin of Iowa. The bill little resembles what Democrats would write if they held the majority. They said it shortchanged schools, land conservation, border security and aid to police and other local emergency workers. And it opens the door for logging in many national forests, while continuing GOP bans on federal aid for abortion and providing a generous increase for sexual abstinence education. Yet the measure is a far cry from the budgets Republicans wrote when they took undisputed control of Congress in 1995 for the first time in decades. Those Republicans proposed eliminating entire Cabinet-level agencies such as the Departments of Education, Commerce and Energy, only to be driven back by President Clinton. "Republicans are beginning to speak like Democrats," said Keith Ashdown, spokesman for the conservative Taxpayers for Common Sense. "The cadre of fiscally responsible lawmakers is getting smaller every day." This week's bill, covering the budget year that began Oct. 1, had its share of cuts. But it also gave the Education Department 6 percent more than Bush proposed, for a total of $53.4 billion; had big increases for highways, farmers and medical research; carried billions of dollars worth of home-district projects for lawmakers; and gave modest boosts to a wide range of programs. In some cases the measure provides more than what Bush has proposed for next year. For education, which Bush has long highlighted, his 2004 budget seeks $53.1 billion - $300 million less than the amount he is about to sign into law for this year. Indeed, this year's spending spree is only beginning. Lawmakers expect the White House to soon seek billions more for a war with Iraq if there is one, plus anti-terrorism efforts and other programs. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Bill Young, R-Fla., said he expects a $20 billion package. Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., said he expects a wartime request for aid for U.S. allies Turkey and Jordan alone to be "big - billions of dollars." The surge comes with Republicans having sole control of the federal spending process for the first time since 1954, under President Eisenhower. The GOP held the White House and Congress in early 2001, but Vermont Sen. James Jeffords left the party that spring and gave Democrats Senate control before spending bills were written. It also comes despite frequent demands from Bush and his budget chief, Mitchell Daniels, that Congress curb spending. In a Feb. 11 letter, Daniels warned that "the president's senior advisers would recommend that he veto the bill" if it exceeded $385.9 billion. Yet the administration itself added $10 billion for defense, money it initially requested a year ago. Analysts attribute the growing spending to the need to fight terrorism, the effort by Bush and some Republicans to cast themselves as compassionate conservatives and the lack of any sign the public cares much about huge federal deficits. With such political dynamics in play, lawmakers crammed the bill with thousands of projects for their home districts and states. Among them: -Nevada's senators, Democrat Harry Reid and Republican John Ensign, sharing credit for nearly $300 million in projects for their state. It includes $1 million for a hydrogen filling station at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas and $600,000 for an oral history of the Nevada Test Site, a remote area where nuclear weapons have been tested for four decades. -Rep. Martin Sabo, D-Minn., said he won $164 million for his home state, including $300,000 for research by the Minnesota Cultivated Wild Rice Council. -Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., said his state would receive $560,000 for the Montana Sheep Institute. -Rep. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., the No. 3 House GOP leader, won $250,000 to restore the Gillioz Theater in Springfield, Mo.

My two cents are: Oh, bullshit! You don't really think a sophisticated dude like Glint thinks that calls to Adam, posted on this page, actually were ever read by Adam, do you? I mean, I emailed Adam a dozen times. That was always how to get a response. E's satirical posts of calls out to Adam were great. Even Pete knew they were in jest. The lying fucker, Glint, is the only one who even pretends they were anything else. That's how he props up his approval of Pete's cunt-calling. Glint is more despicable than Pete because Pete is truly demented. Glint has personality disorders, sure, and is probably sexually perverted, but that's all.

Adam came in late, way too late, thought the Cali boys were the original posters, and yet there was only one poster, who probably recalls his postings perfectly well, when he isn't trying to repress the entire episode, which one can't fault. The Cali boys, however, were posting on the side of the Good, which all you Manichaeans out there no doubt took note of. 'Ray.

My two cents are: The last time "war" was used in the Gulf was in 1991 when the truth was buried with more than 200,000 people. Attacking a 70-mile line of trenches, three American brigades, operating at night, used 60-ton armored earthmovers to bury alive teenage Iraqi conscripts, including the wounded and those surrendering and retreating. Survivors were slaughtered from the air. The helicopter gunship pilots called it a "turkey shoot". Of the 148 Americans who died, a quarter of them were killed by Americans. Most of the British were killed by Americans. This was known as "friendly fire". The civilians who were killed, whose deaths were never recorded by the American military because it was "not policy", were "collateral damage".

My two cents are: You think THAT's diabolical genius? Check THIS out: I am sure that everyone is giving the taliban more credit than they deserve. They likely have about 50,000 real live no-die troops. After we wipe out their main military positions: planes, TRAINS and vehicles, they will be stuck in the mud. Percussion bombs over their existing gunnery placements will allow the Northern Alliance to sweep in rather handily. See, the truth is, except for scraping dudes hiding in caves out, the Taliban will be easily defeated on the open ground. Holding it at night will require continual raids. I think Bush is holding his water until the Taliban recognizes they simply cannot win. Perhaps diplomatic pressure will prevail. The longer this stand off continues, the more second thoughts these boneheads will develop. We'll see. I'd say this is going to be easy to readjust the rule in Afghanistan, but holding it will require more anti-guerrilla tactics. Ultimately, control of these areas, may allow some launch for the mop up. Of course, the Taliban may ahve some reverse tactics in mind like poisoning the water or chemicals left behind, but that is the nature of modern warfare. What goes around comes around. Better get moving or the winter will set in. Let's roll.

I doubt that it was any shame he felt yesterday about either being dumb enough to think that his picture of the Khyber Tourist Steam Train was in Afghanistan, or being smart enough to figure it out but not smart enough to not get caught lying about it. Or maybe Glint really did work himself up into a necrotic offended pimple mulling over his ill treatment by the opinions of that, oh, I can't even write down the horrendous initials, that *.*.*! Maybe it boils down to the fact that Glint is one unwholesome puppy. Does anyone else around here think it's a little sick for a man to be interested in a neighbor kid's dick? Maybe it's true, the obsession with the blow-job really isn't just leftover baggage from the rube political thinkers on the feedstore bench back home. Maybe Glint got to thinking about it, and the best way he had to say no it ain't true I'm not one of those was to think hard about what Rush Limbaugh has taught him, and then call somebody a pussed-over twat to seal it and make it good.

Aside from the over chickens from the Clinton/Ruben years that have come home to roose, and which our new president is dealing with, it's a joy to watch the squawking. They lost the congress, the White House, and now the Senate. Yet they say the Republican's days are numbered. No, they're not deluded. They actually have lucid thoughts from time to time. Like how their disbarred impeached leader is out passing the hat in the church halls looking pandering for money, which is only evil when given to Republicans. Someone here even said that Democrat males are staying away and not attending the Clinton lectures. No, the only ones going to listen to Clinton and watch him waving his cane are those Dim women who let their POTs do the thinking for them. I wouldn't say that Eleanor is one of those.

My two cents are: The number of people who think the economy is in bad shape is at the highest level in a decade in the new CBS-New York Times poll. The poll indicated that six in 10 Americans believe the economy is in bad condition. Only 38 percent approve of the president's handling of the economy, while 53 percent disapprove. That's the lowest rating on the economy the president has gotten in this poll during his presidency. Worries over the economy are matched by rising fears of terrorist attacks. Four in five said they think another terrorist attack is likely in the near future. With that combination of fears about the economy and terrorism, the public mood about the direction of the country was gloomy. Just over a third, 35 percent, said the country is headed in the right direction, while 56 percent said it's off on the wrong track. Bush's job approval was at 54 percent, the lowest it has been in this poll since before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. His job approval in several other recent polls was near 60 percent, where it has been for several months.

My two cents are: To: [email protected] (BPR Mailing List) Subject: [BPR] - Clinton's Family Tree From: [email protected](BPR) Date: Mon, 22 Feb 1999 06:41:44 +0000 From: "Moza" Clinton's Family Tree William F. Dankenbring In a recent issue of "Prophecy in the News" magazine, author J. R. Church informs us of a most striking genealogy. He writes: "In an Associated Press article published in The Daily Oklahoman, October 28, 1996, Harold Brooks-Baker, director of Burke's Peerage, a London-based publishing house that traces the lineage of royal and noble families, said that Bill Clinton and Bob Dole have more in common than wanting to be president. They are distant cousins! However, Clinton has bluer blood, giving him an election edge. "Bill Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe, but took his stepfather's name as a teenager. Clinton's ancestry can be traced back, on his mother's side, to King Henry III who ruled England from 1227 to 1272. He is descended from King Robert I of France. "Furthermore, he is related to every Scottish monarch to the current British royal family. Clinton's royal roots include several medieval monarchs and Simon de Montford, a statesman and soldier under King Henry III. Through de Montford, Clinton is related to every ancient aristocratic family in Britain today." J. R. Church continues the incredible story: "Over the past six years, efforts to uncover Clinton's personal history have been nigh unto impossible to confirm. The President had all records of his family history, school records, medical history, etc. sealed. "In 1992, we called Burke's Peerage and asked if they had done any research into Clinton's lineage. We were told that they had not done a genealogical search on his ancestry. It seemed strange to us at the time that they denied knowing anything about Clinton. Shortly afterward, we came across an AP story that linked Clinton to a Gypsy king--citing Burke's Peerage as a source. We again called Burke's Peerage and repeated our request. Again, they told us that no work had been done. That's when we read the article to the person on the phone, naming Harold Brooks-Baker as a source. She then admitted that they had done some work on the genealogy. She said that we should talk with Harold Brooks-Baker, himself. She requested that we fax a letter and request a reply. "We did as she asked. Two days later, having received no reply, we called again. This time, we were able to get Mr. Harold Brooks-Baker on the phone. He asked why we wanted the information, and said he would have to clear our request with Washington. He said, 'It's a very touchy subject.' He talked like there might be something to hide." Indeed! What might that closely-guarded secret be? J. R. Church continues his riveting story: "Bill Clinton's family goes back to William Henry Harrison and Benjamin Harrison, making him related to Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter. His kinship to Ford makes him 'near kin' to Richard Nixon and George Bush. Small world, isn't it? "Royal Boy Chosen" "There is no official documentation for what I am about to relate. I talked with a man in the summer of 1996 who claimed to be a descendant of the Rothschild banking family. He informed me that Bill Clinton used to attend their family functions as a boy. "This man grew up in the same town with Clinton. They attended the same schools. He would see Bill at family get-togethers wearing a Jewish skullcap. According to hinm, Bill Clinton is a descendant of the Rothschild family. "He said the rabbis would kiss his hand and refer to him as the Segulah Yeled Eklatosh--the 'royal-boy-chosen.' He said that according to private family records, the original Meyer Amschel (Bauer) Rothschild claimed to have had a heavenly visitor in 1773, who informed him that Jesus was not the Messiah. He told Meyer Amschel that the family from which he descended would produce the Messiah in the last half of the twentieth century. "A few weeks later I read in 'The Jewish Festivals' by Hayyim Schauss (published in 1938) that the Roman Emperor Nero had faked his death, escaped and married a Jewish woman. The famous thirteenth century Rabbi Meir (also spelled Meyer) of Rothenberg, Germany, claimed direct descent from Nero. I called my Rothschild family friend and asked it there was a family connection. Two days later he called me back, and said 'Yes! The Rothschilds are descended from Nero!'..." ("Roots of the Presidents," by J. R. Church, Prophecy in the News, July 1998, pages 18-19). [This article goes on to describe Nero's character and ends by saying Nero's Aramaic name (Nron Ksr) equals 666. They also show William Jefferson Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton as both adding up to 666 but the numbers are off as published.] Prophecy Flash! Jan-Feb 1999 Triumph Prophetic Ministries

My two cents are: As one whose ancestors include a tough little French voyageur who married an Eskimo princess, I must object to the bum deal Glint has been giving France. Oh, sure, they ran in 1940, most of them, but I have to ask myself, where were the Breightlys in 1940? Does anyone on this board have the story on whether the Breightly family contribued to to corps of No-Die soldiers who had to go clean up the Frog mess? Were the Breightlys fierce warriors, or were they poised on the blocks, ready to run like the Mayor of Paris at the first sight of a storm trooper. As for me, my ancestors ranged the wide Pacific during that war, taking on the Jap mano a mano as wiley tugboat captains and deckhands. I just need to know, truly, whether it behooves a corn-belt cracker-ass to complain about the surrender of the Third Republic (don't mind that last, Glint, it's something you hear some day on the History Channel if you stick with it.)

He could have kept on pretending that he went to a "kiddie Valentines school thing...." But no. The pathetic asshole always has to pop up again to try to explain himself, to try to convince himself that he really didn't say what he said, that he really wasn't that stupid ... This is where we get stuff like "geesh, I must have been thinking of the long lines of trains in Pakistan...", by which we are supposed to understand that the Khyber Tourist Steam-train Ride was what Pete was planning to destroy. "I made a sweeping mention of anything that could possibly move in afghanistan," but forgot to sweep up mules, camels, and little scrawny guys carrying baskets. But of course, that was exactly the crux of Pete's folly, the fact that he took a muletrain country and turned it into his idea of a battlefield, jumbled up Hollywood movies and bombed railroads and dogfights with the Taliban Air Force and APC's. He did it because he is stupid and ignorant, and is at his most stupid and most ignorant when he is pontificating about politics or international relations or economics or, as in this case, about war. Geesh, you almost have to feel sorry for the pathetic asshole.

My two cents are: Well, that was fun. Chocolate dipped strawberries were a big hit, but a huge mess! /// OK, I did try to read through the nonsense below. I think it is fair to say I never said anything about "railroads" which was what I was accused of saying. Apparently, although I have not verified the post's authenticity, I made a sweeping mention of anything that could possibly move in afghanistan, and such things included the word: "train." (Planes, trains and automobiles analogy aside) Oh well. I imagine the long lines of trains that do supply Afghanistan from Pakistan and elsewhere may have been scrutinized by some story at the time leading me to respond as such. Hard to recollect every single moment of minutia. And yes, there is in fact a railway in Afghanistan, although limited. And yes, trains have to run on tracks. So, where does this get us? Nowhere. There is a railroad section in Afghanistan; there are trains that run on it. So what? It is no lie. //Secondly, the percussion bomb issue was not whether I ever said it, which I did. It was you clowns claimed that such things did not exist. Well, you got googled on that one, but were too embarrassed to retreat, as is usual for liar liberals. // Anyway, I must commend a liberal for actually pretending to do some work for a change and while he never came up with the golden nugget sleeping dog "railroad," well, he came close. Horseshoes and hand grenades. Perhaps he should get a real dictionary and see what words really do mean, each one. Otherwise, I admit it is all just poetry after all.

My two cents are: The "cheese-eating surrender monkey", first coined by Groundskeeper Willie, the cartoon Scottish caretaker at Springfield elementary school in The Simpsons, has become the most popular anti-French insult in America. By yesterday, it was turning up 1,950 times on the internet. Late night talk show comedians have had a field day. "The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq,' quipped NBC's Jay Leno. David Letterman of CBS stated: "France wants more evidence. The last time France wanted more evidence, it rolled right through France with a German flag." Satirist Andy Borowitz ended a CNN discussion about Michael Jackson's plastic surgery by remarking: "The French, of course, don't believe it and are demanding further inspections." American dislike of the French, like the British version, is nothing new. Mark Twain once wrote in his diary: "A Frenchman's home is where another man's wife is. There is nothing lower than the human race except the French."

My two cents are: Poor Glint doesn't understand that the breathless, moist crowds at the public appearances are 95% women under the age of 27. More mature ladies, as well as male intellectuals like ydog prefer more modest round-table discussions, receptions, and pub-crawls with the Big Dog, during which serious matters may be discussed at depth. The public appearances are really nothing more than exploitation of Bill Clinton's charismatic magnetism to underwrite the more serious tasks of improving the world we live in. Yeah, it's the slightest bit demeaning, and it obviously takes a physical toll on the aging lothario, but, hey, when you've got a gift and have found a way to use it to aid humanity, there is no shirking the duty. At least for a liberal. A Republican in Cliton's position would reach for the Maalox and a well-worn copy of Redbook, and turn in early.

My two cents are: "Kunkle is relieved as commander of USS Kitty Hawk Battle Group" Rear Adm. Steven Kunkle, who on Thursday was relieved of command of the USS Kitty Hawk Battle Group, is the latest military leader to lose his job because of alleged sexual misconduct. Among the most notorious years in recent memory was 1997, when three general officers lost commands because of �improper relationships.� The most prominent case that year was that of Air Force Gen. Joseph Ralston, who in June of that year was nominated by Defense Secretary William Cohen to succeed Army Gen. John Shalikashvili as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Cohen withdrew the nomination after Ralston admitted that he had conducted a secret, adulterous relationship 13 years previously. Earlier in the spring, Air Force 1st Lt. Kelly Flinn � the Air Force�s first female bomber pilot � resigned to avoid a court-martial on adultery and other charges, including lying to investigators. Critics had complained Ralston was not being punished to the same extent for similar transgressions. But even before the Ralston/Flinn cases in 1997, Army Brig. Gen. Stephen Xenakis was relieved of his command of Army medical operations in the Southeast region of the United States because of an alleged �improper relationship� with a civilian nurse who was caring for his ill wife. And just weeks before the Ralston case, Army Maj. Gen. John Longhouser, commanding general of Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., retired after a Army investigators were tipped off about an alleged affair Longhouser had five years previously. Since 1997, three more high-profile cases have involved Army officers, including the 1999 court-martial of Army Maj. Gen. David Hale, who admitted to affairs with the wives of officers in his Izmir, Turkey, command. In June 2001, Army Col. Sammy G. Wiglesworth lost command of the 17th Area Support Group at Camp Zama, Japan, for transgressions that allegedly included an improper relationship with an enlisted servicemember�s wife. In September 2001, Col. William Haass, an Army reservist from San Antonio, was relieved of command Area Support Group-Eagle in Bosnia and Herzegovina for �sexual misconduct,� just 17 days after taking command. Air Force Col. William Kalaskie, the outgoing 425th Air Base Squadron commander in Izmir, and Lt. Col. Dwight Harris, his designated successor, were relieved of duty amid allegations that they had inappropriate relations with women under their command. Although losing a command does not automatically terminate an officer�s commission, such events are generally career-enders. Promotions almost always come to a grinding halt, and many officers relieved of commands either choose to retire or are quietly told by senior leaders to voluntarily leave military service. � Lisa Burgess The USS Kitty Hawk Battle Group commander, Rear Adm. Steven Kunkle, was relieved of command Thursday, accused of an �inappropriate relationship� with a female officer.

My two cents are: First train crosses bridge from Uzbekistan to Afghanistan bearing much-needed aid DENIS TRUNOV Associated Press HAIRATON, Afghanistan ---- A train rumbled across the only bridge from Uzbekistan into Afghanistan for the first time in four years on Sunday, carrying humanitarian aid for refugees battling winter cold, disease and hunger. Aid agencies have been clamoring for Uzbekistan to open the bridge, warning that aid shipped across the Amu Darya River by barge was not getting through fast enough for millions of displaced Afghans. The Soviet army built the Friendship Bridge for its war in Afghanistan and used it to withdraw in defeat 12 years ago. On Sunday, the train that crossed the newly reopened span carried 10,000 tons of grain and flour sent from Uzbekistan and the United Nations ---- and a message of solidarity.

Dr. Hager is a practicing OB/GYN who describes himself as "pro-life" and refuses to prescribe contraceptives to unmarried women. He suggests women who suffer from pms should seek help by reading the bible and praying. Hager's desire to overturn mifepristone's approval on religiousgrounds rather than scientific merit would halt the development of mifepristone as a treatment for numerous medical conditions disproportionately affecting women, including breast cancer, uterine cancer, uterine fibroid tumors, psychotic depression, bipolar depression and Cushing's syndrome. Maybe Dr. David will reincarnate as a female.

My two cents are: Can't you just get it into your head that Pete is a steaming gelatinous ball of insecurity and rage? Hell, this has been true from Day One when he announced he had testosterone coarsing through his veins. Didn't that seem odd? It was odd, but that's Pete. Sure, he's trying to establish his creds. Every little gold star he got for attendance in 3rd grade is even odds to get mentioned in his drive for approval. And if the truth doesn't grab you, there's always the bluff or "lie," as you call it. He can't help it even in the face of being brutally, verbally beaten for being such an in-your-face fuckwad. Back when the pussed over twats used to post here daily, they often talked about Pete's need for approval, his desire to be respected as a smooth cool dude and one of the guys. Pretty much all of the women said this at one time or other. Women had him figured, as did men. He got rid of the women by calling them cunts and/or poor, ditzy fools. Most women won't hang around for the pleasure of being call cunts by the likes of Pete. The 17 other men will hang around just to pound the dumb guy daily and Pete will doink them, and socialsit them, yada, yada, yada. Eventually, the men will ask once more just what it is that makes Pete such a dysfunctional, marginalized weirdo. The answer is always the same. Even poor, thick Glint is no better than deeply conflicted about Pete. But Glint himself is such a scared, witless rube that he's actually found a way to make himself reliant on Pete for something or other. One of my favorite times is when the crynic makes one of his infrequent visits from his own country and Glint practically spews jism in the happy knowledge that he suddenly doesn't need Pete. Speaking of which, I'd like the crynic to make an appearance. Simply to watch Glint go gaga.

Glint, if you really want a clue on this, start by finding out what percussion is and what concussion is, and go from there. Little by little the bird makes his nest, my man. You've made your point about the railroads, now give me some percussion bombs.

My two cents are: But the tunnels in Afghanistan are larger and far more extensive than in South Vietnam, said Ali Jalali, a former anti-Soviet Afghan fighter who advised the U.S. Army on tunnel combat. Soviet fighters would first throw concussion bombs down tunnel shafts, then explosives and smoke bombs, Jalali said. Then they would enter the tunnels, armed with knives, hand grenades, pistols and assault rifles with tracer ammunition. The Soviets also used fuel-air explosives that sucked oxygen out of tunnels. That might be the pattern the United States will follow, Baker said: First, Northern Alliance or tribal troops working with CIA or special-ops forces would put concussion grenades or explosives down shafts to kill or stun anyone hiding.

My two cents are: Yesterday, we organised a demonstration towards one of checkpoints in Bethlehem areas called Beit Jala. Firstly two tanks were there. We marched towards the tanks, saying "stop occupation", "free Palestine". Italian activists were singing a sort of resistance song (chao, chao, chao something. Maybe some of you have heard the song before, I guess). They are so active. A soldier on the tank threw a percussion grenade towards us to threaten. Silly Aisa was thinking that he was drinking just orange juice, because the grenade was orange colour! Then I noticed that it was not ORANGE JUICE but a percussion grenade.

My two cents are: The northeast is populated by a bewildering variety of armed insurgency groups�29 by one count�each agitating for another mini-partition of India. The United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) wants independence for the Assamese; the National Socialist Council for Nagaland (NSCN) wants a separate Naga homeland; and the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) is willing�as a common graffito in the region puts it�to "do or die for Bodoland." Bombing trains like this one is a favorite terror tactic, as is kidnapping oil or tea company officials. The NDFB and ULFA operate from remote jungle camps in Bhutan on Assam's northern border, and stood accused of an ambush only two days before that had killed five people.

My two cents are: I am sure that everyone is giving the taliban more credit than they deserve. They likely have about 50,000 real live no-die troops. After we wipe out their main military positions: planes, TRAINS and vehicles, they will be stuck in the mud. Percussion bombs over their existing gunnery placements will allow the Northern Alliance to sweep in rather handily. See, the truth is, except for scraping dudes hiding in caves out, the Taliban will be easily defeated on the open ground. Holding it at night will require continual raids. I think Bush is holding his water until the Taliban recognizes they simply cannot win. Perhaps diplomatic pressure will prevail. The longer this stand off continues, the more second thoughts these boneheads will develop. We'll see. I'd say this is going to be easy to readjust the rule in Afghanistan, but holding it will require more anti-guerrilla tactics. Ultimately, control of these areas, may allow some launch for the mop up. Of course, the Taliban may ahve some reverse tactics in mind like poisoning the water or chemicals left behind, but that is the nature of modern warfare. What goes around comes around.

My two cents are: Man-eating lions dine on ecotourists By John Von Radowitz, Evening Standard Ecotourists are helping nature in an unexpected way - by becoming "fast food of the bush" for man-eating lions, it was claimed today. Reports of lions eating humans are increasing in Africa, and one reason may be more tourists camping on the big cats' doorstep. Craig Packer, of Minnesota University, told New Scientist magazine: "There have been a fair number of attacks on humans in the last couple of years, including some in South African camps. "The problem is, there is a growing number of camps putting people in the bush right next to lions." Separate research casts doubt on the theory that lions get a taste for human flesh only when illness or injury means they cannot hunt faster four-legged prey. Zoologist Bruce Patterson examined the bones of 23 maneaters in Kenya. Most were healthy young male lions. He believes males expelled from prides meet more humans on their travels. "It may all be too much for a lion to resist," he said. The most famous attack on humans occurred in 1898 when two lions terrorised railway workers building a bridge over Kenya's Tsavo River, killing and eating nearly 30 people.

My two cents are: After their intervention in Afghanistan, the Soviets began a new railroad capable of both military and merchandise movements across the Amu Darya. In 1982 they completed the first road and rail bridge over the river at Jeyretan. By 1985 they were in the midst of the first stage of the project, which aimed at putting down tracks as far as Pol-e Khomri, an industrial center and military supply depot. The second stage of the project was to extend the railroad on to Bagrami a major Soviet air base and supply depot. From there it would go on to Kabul. Because of the extremely difficult terrain it would have to traverse, the 3.1 billion-ruble railroad was expected to be finished in many years.

But no, the idiot loves to make a complete fool out of himself. As for railroads, despite my never having made any post about such things, I can confirm that there is a railroad in Afghanistan: "9.6 km 1.524-m gauge from Gushgy (Turkmenistan) to Towraghondi; 15 km 1,524-m gauge from Termiz (Uzbekistan) to Kheyrabad transshipment point on south bank of Amu Darya."

Fortunately, I speak the truth so I can go by my real name. Doink.

As for railroads in Afghanistan, I really don't have much of a feeling for remote central Asian countries with next to no commerce and accessible through a few passes in the most rugged mountain in the world. Who would have thought they wouldn't have a thriving railroad system linking the important military and industrial strongpoints?

Afterwards, Mr Bush invited the travelling Australian media into the Oval Office and delivered an effusively glowing description of Mr Howard as "a close personal friend", "a person whose judgement I count on" and "a man of clear vision". Mr Howard conceded that he had been a little embarrassed by the fervour of Mr Bush's endorsement, knowing that it would probably spawn a new generation of invective from Opposition figures such as Mark Latham, who already accused Mr Howard of being an "arselicker" of the Bush Administration and described this visit as "a conga line of suckholes" heading to Washington.

My two cents are: For the CIA, it would be a piece of cake. Two easy agendas: 1) No one wanted to make Osama a martyr in the first place so the US policy was always to kill and scatter. Announcing his death does nothing but signal the transfer of power and strengthen their resolve. I firmly believe it was and is American policy never to reveal Osama's death. But he is dead. 2) Some of these Boogie Man tapes are simply fakes anyway. Some are from other fringe nuts. But using dubs and poor quality tapes at the right moment to prove a point is as easy as kindergarten gags. No, in truth, this is very very easy to do and very very easy to use to support the agenda that everyone except the lying treasonous liar liberals know is necessary for survival. The enemy inside is the liberal who seeks to thwart self-defense so we can take out the enemy outside the gates. Liberals always were, still are and always will be Public Enemy #1. End of Story.

My two cents are: I guess I called it ... " February 12, 2003 4:34 PM Swiss researchers who last November analysed a tape attributed to Osama bin Laden say they won�t be scrutinising the latest recording broadcast by the Arabic television network, Al-Jazeera. The Swiss analysts said the previous tape was almost certainly faked, despite US claims to the contrary. .... United States officials say the recording, which calls on Muslims to fight the US and repel a war against Iraq, is �probably� the voice of Osama bin Laden, suggesting a link between Iraq and bin Laden's al-Qaeda network. The US said a similar recording, broadcast by Al-Jazeera on November 12, was also genuine, despite analysis by Idiap researchers, who concluded that it was faked. However, the company said the poor quality of that recording coupled with the limited number of voice examples meant that it was unlikely the recording could ever be properly authenticated. The finding suggests that no one can say with certainty whether the November recording, or similar ones, are definitely the voice of bin Laden, as some US officials have claimed."////////Does anyone else think there is something fishy about this new "Osama" tape coming out right now, especially since the liar treasonous liberals have been at it for weeks now trying to stop us from defending our vital interests? If I were a paranoid liberal, I'd at least suggest the CIA is behind this to stir up more world-wide resolve. Too bad they would have to resort to this tactic, but alls fair in love and war. Especially when dealing with the liar treasonous liberals. I think Osama is dead. I think America knows it, but wants to use hima s the boogie man. They don't want to let the Muslim world know he's dead or he will become an official martyr. But his likeness is useful for war internally and for the needed opinion to ratchet it up to fight the enemy and those with a liberal agenda. Pete� - Tuesday, February 11, 2003 at 17:32:43 (EST)

My two cents are: Former president B.J. Clinton holds up a larger than life scale model of his own penis (upper left) and elaborates by demonstrating his organ's impressive size (lower left). When questioned by the press the former president was forced to admit that it's true lengh is approximately that of an index finger (lower right). He also revealed intimate details of his relationship with Monica Lewinsky by pointing out where his wad of ejaculated jism landed on her blue dress (top righ). Clinton spoke during an hour-long speech as part of the 14th Liz Carpenter Lecture Series at the Erwin Center last night.

Who but a believer in traditional values could have seen that pro-choice men were "either men trapped in women's bodies...or younger guys who are like camp followers looking for easy sex"? He admonished us not to use the word gay "unless it's an acronym for Got Aids Yet". And we don't want to hear any of those stories about how Mrs. B1 left him a few times and filed for four divorces. She came back to Bob every single time, even the time she claimed he used to drag her around by the hair waving a gun. And court records show that B1 never served a single day in the slammer on that 1966 conviction for assaulting her.

My two cents are: "Regardless of the removal or the survival of the socialist party or Saddam, Muslims in general and the Iraqis in particular must brace themselves for jihad against this unjust campaign and acquire ammunition and weapons. .... Under these circumstances, there will be no harm if the interests of Muslims converge with the interests of the socialists in the fight against the crusaders, despite our belief in the infidelity of socialists. The jurisdiction of the socialists and those rulers has fallen a long time ago. Socialists are infidels wherever they are, whether they are in Baghdad or Aden."

It all depends on how fast he can get somebody to pull him out of it by making a deal to provide plenty reactors, oil, food, and money to the North Koreans. One of the most amusing things about the Bush regime is the way Kim Jong Il is going to make Snippy's inevitable pungling of of the baksheesh hurt. I don't think anything will top the frantic triple-apology to the Chinese communist dictatorship, though. That was the standard by which all other Bush II diplomacy must be judged.

My two cents are: "Pelosi Denies Invoking Black Rape to Defend Abortion" House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is vehemently denying reports that she once defended the practice of abortion by using an anti-black slur. "I've talked with Ms. Pelosi and it's absolutely not true," her spokesman Brendan Daley told NewsMax.com. "She did not say this to Mr. Dornan." Pelosi's office was responding to a report in Tuesday's New York Daily News quoting former Congressman Bob Dornan, who said that the top California Democrat once defended abortion to him by asking, "What would you do if one of your daughters was raped by a black man?" Daley said that Pelosi "doesn't recall saying anything of the kind to him. And she knows that that's not the thing she would say. So she did not say it." The Pelosi aide further maintained that his boss had no recollection of any conversation whatsoever with former Rep. Dornan on the subject of abortion. An unnamed press aide for Pelosi told the Daily News yesterday that the congresswoman had "no response" to Dornan's allegation, leaving the impression that she was unwilling to dispute his account.

My two cents are: President Clinton would have been tougher on North Korea than the Bush team and have ordered a military attack if the North Koreans did on his watch what they have done recently, Boston Globe Washington columnist Tom Oliphant insisted on Friday's Imus in the Morning. Oliphant asserted: �There is no doubt in my mind, Don, none at all that Clinton would have attacked North Korea if they had moved so much as one of those fuel rods to the factory or the plant where they could be reprocessed.� But on Thursday night's Larry King Live on CNN, Clinton himself didn't advocate any attack: �The President and the administration have said they want to handle it diplomatically. But I think you have to be firm in public and absolutely brutal in private. You cannot let them become a nuclear arsenal, because the pressure on them to sell these bombs will be overwhelming. They have no other way to make money.� Indeed, but all of Clinton's men, including Carter's 1994 deal, didn't stop North Korea.
Clinton: Gas bag of an empty suit.

My two cents are: For a few journalists, the memories of the Clinton impeachment are becoming sharper than they used to be. Longtime CBS Capitol Hill correspondent and "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer has a new memoir out called "This Just In: What I Couldn't Tell You on TV." It seems that what he couldn't tell you on TV was what everyone already knew: Clinton was a sleazeball. Schieffer confesses that early on he had a "prejudice" in favor of Clinton, since he corrected the notion that not all wisdom somehow originates in the northeast United States. He adds, "I come from a long line of conservative Texas Democrats, but I claim no political party." He says Clinton established some "remarkable feats," from NAFTA to welfare reform to balancing the budget -- feats that seem less remarkable when you acknowledge they were GOP initiatives, not his. But Schieffer grows agitated remembering Sept. 11, 1998 -- the day he spent part of his afternoon reading snippets of the Starr Report in live coverage. He remembers "as the father of two grown daughters, I found the whole thing depressing." On that day, he had the ability to express that personal feeling, but he never did. Reporters express their personal feelings about everything else, but not this. Schieffer suggests, "Clinton disgraced the highest office in the land, and as the tawdry details of his affairs became a part of the national conversation, he coarsened the culture of the people he had been elected to lead. That was his crime." Schieffer never talked about a coarsened culture on TV, either. What conservatives had so forcefully maintained, and which Schieffer now concedes was true, was roundly ignored when it was news. In his book, Schieffer also trashes Clinton for making his secretary Betty Currie come in on her days off to clear Monica into the White House, then wait through the sexual escapades before she could go home. He attacks Clinton for sending Madeleine Albright and Donna Shalala out to lie on his behalf. He says Clinton "had shown himself to be a user of women who was not hesitant to take advantage of his friends when he found it necessary for business or pleasure. Schieffer actually did say a version of this on television -- on his "Face the Nation" commentary two days after reading the Starr Report on the air. But he never chided Currie, Albright and Shalala -- no babes in the woods -- for knowing full well they were hiding the truth and lying to the American people. Perhaps the most telling anecdote in his Clinton chapter comes near the end, where he tells the story of Lanny Breuer. In August 1999, six months after Clinton's acquittal, Schieffer received an engraved card from Covington and Burling announcing that Breuer was returning to his old law firm. But the announcement struck him by boasting that Breuer represented the White House "in presidential impeachment hearings and trial, four independent counsel investigations, a Justice Department task force investigation, and numerous congressional oversight investigations." While Schieffer thought Breuer "was a good lawyer I had dealt with and come to like and respect over that time ... that engraved card carried an arresting and somewhat unsettling message: If you need a good criminal lawyer, get someone with White House experience."
More mea culpa in the liberal press. Next up: Democats smear Schieffer.

My two cents are: I'm not sure I've got a handle on these latest controversies that are swirling around Clinton. Is the one he created because he said he was very grateful that Snippy wants people to think he's going to spend 15 billion on AIDS? I mean, he did give Bush his props, didn't he? Was it not enough props? Is that why people are scratching their heads? How many props would it take to make this controversy disappear? Or, is it too late? The one he deftly sidestepped, was that about the Gere bombshell? I thought Gere was already such a disgusting object of scorn, that to be criticized by him would be a good thing.

My two cents are: Ex-Prez Bill Clinton had people scratching their heads in Boston the other night when he spoke before the 10th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, one of the most prestigious gatherings of researchers specializing in AIDS. The speech had been long planned, but Clinton used the address to sidestep one controversy while creating a new one. At one point, in discussing the Bush Administration's decision to target $15 billion in funds to contain and defeat AIDS in Africa, Clinton said he was "very grateful for that." "It was like he had asked Bush to do it, or had proposed the plan, that's how it sounded to us," says an attendee, who works at NIH. "He led right into what his foundation was doing elsewhere, and how this money was going to help him achieve his own goals. He did give Bush his props, but made sure everyone realized that Bush couldn't have done this if he hadn't taken the lead. It was classic Clinton." Clinton's insistence on taking credit for budgeting the $15 billion he really had nothing to do with comes on the heals of an embarrassing -- for him -- moment at a New York fundraiser ten days ago, when Buddhist AIDS activist and actor Richard Gere lambasted Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's husband for doing nothing in the fight against AIDS in his eight years in the White House.
"Classic" Clinton; Still the same old liar.

My two cents are: King, a Republican on the House International Relations Committee, accused France of using its influence in the Security Council and NATO to hobble international cooperation aimed at disarming Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. "We may have to restructure the alliance, form a new alliance which the French will not be a part of," said King. "We cannot allow a second-rate country to have a veto power or obstructionist power over American foreign policy." The congressman argued that France also delayed successful military intervention in Bosnia and Kosovo in the 1990s. "France is posturing itself as a moral guardian, when they would have lost World War I, and they set a world record in World War II for the quickest surrender by a world power." King said he has had "all these French people calling me up and attacking me" since making similar comments in a BBC radio interview late Monday night, in which he said the French could go to Iraq "to instruct the Iraqis in how to surrender." King said he is not worried about offending French sensibilities because "they are yesterday's people."

If I were a paranoid liberal, I'd at least suggest the CIA is behind this to stir up more world-wide resolve. Too bad they would have to resort to this tactic, but alls fair in love and war. Especially when dealing with the liar treasonous liberals. I think Osama is dead. I think America knows it, but wants to use hima s the boogie man. They don't want to let the Muslim world know he's dead or he will become an official martyr. But his likeness is useful for war internally and for the needed opinion to ratchet it up to fight the enemy and those with a liberal agenda.

My two cents are: I really love Bill Clinton. I love him despite his deceptions, his arrogance, his lies, his adulterous affairs, and in spite of his selfish and brutal treatment of women. It's not devotion to an agenda (I'm not a Democratic congressman), it's not blind love (I'm not Geraldo Rivera), or romantic love (I'm a very happily married -- and heterosexual -- man). In fact, many liberals, in their slavish devotion to "The Cause" and all things Clinton, would brand me a "Clinton-hater" because of my conservative political views and biblical Christian beliefs. So why do I love such an unlovable man? Jesus said, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:44-45) It is contrary to Jesus' teaching to hope that physical harm will strike Clinton, or to let hatred of him poison our relationship with God. Indeed, hatred is a sinful act of the same variety as Clinton's documented transgressions: "The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." (Galatians 5:19-21) Obviously, for followers of Jesus Christ, hatred isn't an option.

Basically it's the same but you remove the camera's lens and use the eyepiece. I have an adapter that screws into the camera's bayonet mounting. Problem was the bitterly cold wind up on the hill. Even with the observatory the wind finds its way in. It's a good mounting, but too senstive for photography without an observatory. And then when conditions are calm.

It's sort of in the same area as wanting to impoverish the customer. Rembember the Contract On America?

That always baffled me, why the fuck would these characters abolish the government services that permiteed them to make whatever sleazy move they contemplated? Took me a while to realize that they were in the league of a Glump or a Pete, just ignorant yammerers with no idea of how things work.

My two cents are: Thing about that tax deal is that even without the winking, your commercial property, your farm property, and god forbid, your vacant property out in the woods rarely changes hands, while residences are bought and sold all the time. Funny thing is, it has led to many a tap dance on the Republican taxwhiner side. For example, right after the law went in, I was working in property development, and it really sucked compared to what it had been. Back in the day, you wanted roads, streetlights, sidewalks, sewer and water, schools, sure, coming right up, we'll add a nickel to the tax, as special assessment. All of a sudden you couldn't charge the costs of a new development to the people who were already there, so the developer was up shit creek, had to think about some other way to avoid the costs of his development. This was when the User Fees that Glint holds in such awe and fear came in. Something other than the property tax had to start paying for everything, so we started seeing user fees, and a government office would no longer Xerox something and mail it to you, you had to pay per page. Ahh, fuck it. Why do I keep trying to explain the way the world works to these bubble boys? They will never be able to figure it out: a great example is the fact that poor Glint doesn't even know how his income tax shakes out-- depends on Dick Armey to tell him he's getting a marriage penalty when he's really getting a marriage bonus. These clowns are never going to be able to put two and two together no matter how well you explain things to them. Fuck it.

Not you, Diaree, it's me who decides the issues of life and death, wrath and revenge, paper or plastic. Me! It's me who gets to decide what movies we rerun over and over that I don't want to watch and what games I'm sick and tired of. It's me who gets to be huffy, snippy and pestilent when I want. It's me who decides who gets fooled again for the very first time. The President gets to have the 'bully pulpit.' It's my very favorite thing. I like being the bully.

My two cents are: The explanation by the code person of why the code is so cool was stunning. If ever "stunning" should be used, it's times like these. It's a system whereby, Pete or Glint can post as Pete or Glint, or other name they choose, and still know they're Pete or Glint. While all the other one or twenty bounce around, winging it, these two guys have reduced it to a perfect science. In fact, is this a science fair PROJECT???? You guysssss! Shee-it!!! HAW!

Or, maybe even just one. Think of that. Only two of you thinking their are 20 others...Even worse, there's only ONE of you and you think there are 21 others!! To really show how great a code is, let's say you're one of the two guys who are hip to it. But let's say one of you also posts constantly as a cowardly lie-bral DEMONCRAP! That would really be RFing the poor sap who was playing it straight. But wait, it gets worse.

My two cents are: See, you could buy a pretty nice house in SF, in 1978, for about 75K. I bought a one for 58K in 1977. So, you paid $750 per year in prop taxes. That 75K house now goes for maybe $450,000, $4500 per year in taxes. The mall down road's property taxes were set in 1978 and will never change, even though the thing was changed from a classic outdoor mall, with a Macy's and Emporium anchor, to an indoor Galleria, with Macy's and Nordstrom. It's probably worth 50 times more than in 1978 and it's changed hands just like the house up the street. But, only sort of, wink, wink. For everything but Cali prop tax purposes. Anytime some suicidal politician HINTS that the scam has to be changed, some Republican whore of the real estate lobby, or ten, start jumping up and down, frothing at the mouth, like they were Pete and Glint confronted by Clinton's dick.

My two cents are: Thanks to a rightwing tax whiner spasm in the late 70s, California property taxes do not change as a home's value increases by appraisal. You pretty much pay 1% of what the house cost you. If you bought at 200K, you pay $2000/year. If you sell that house for 600K, new owner pays $6000. Same goes for office buildings, shopping malls, etc. The only little problem is, nobody actually buys 51% of an office building or mall, outright, precisely so that the property tac bite doesn't go up. People do sell houses and Cali property values tend to go up. In some areas, like SF, they tend to soar. The result of all this, over the 25 years beauty of law has been around, is that the overall property tax burded has shifted dramatically from a shared one, between homeowner and business, to the homeowner. This is a classic example of Republicanism in its purest form.

Back in the day, when Pete was flying high, it was copper sheets that couldn't leak because they were made to interlock. That was a big deal, the fact that the roof copper interlocked so it couldn't possibly leak, except if anyone wanted to punch a hole in it for a drain ventilator or chimney or something. What do you suppose the roof will be made of next year? Back to copper, or maybe it will slump on down to asphalt shingle?

My two cents are: PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Former U.S. Rep. Edward M. Mezvinsky tearfully expressed remorse before being sentenced Thursday to more than 6 1/2 years in prison for defrauding business associates, friends and family - including his mother-in-law - of millions of dollars. Federal prosecutors called Mezvinsky, 65, a "con man" who faked mental illness to avoid punishment for bilking friends and business associates. They were seeking a 9- to 11-year prison term for the disgraced lawmaker, who pleaded guilty to 31 counts of fraud in September. Through tears, Mezvinsky told U.S. District Judge Stewart Dalzell that he still fails to completely understand his actions. "I went into a spiral that turned into the house of cards that fell," Mezvinsky said. "Whatever impairment Mr. Mezvinsky may have had - and I am dubious in the extreme about that - it simply did not contribute to the crimes which took place over 12 years," Dalzell said. He and his wife, Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, who also served in Congress, were once high-profile Democrats who hobnobbed with Bill and Hillary Clinton and raised 11 children, some adopted, at their suburban Philadelphia mansion.

Galaxies give off light in wavelengths similar to street lights, hence the reason for their obliteration from the cities' skies. However, you should have better luck with star clusters, both globular and open (galactic). I used to pick off globulars in Sagittarius and Scorpius from my south facing balcony in Ydog's home planet of Montgomery County. Even though the balcony was facing directly toward the glow of Washington the clusters had enough brightness to show through. Let me think about it and come up with a couple you can try, even without the Goto working.

My two cents are: Look, the gutters are real copper. They are just now getting a bit of green patina from the natural elements. My efforts to bleach them only got them mildly aroused. The roof itself is faux copper patina aluminum shake. Painted in the factory with a green/copper brown patina. Looks real, but much cheaper and better thermal qualities. Has a great thermal repellant based on its foam inserts and air cushion. Cuts my in-house cooling costs by 20% and is about 40% cooler, per their story. Got it? Yet? Doubt it. Oh well.

My two cents are:

For the past few years, the federal government has been providing training and assistance to police and emergency response workers in the 120 cities considered most at risk of terrorist attacks. A complete list of those cities appears at the end of this report. As you will see, the list includes major government centers (Philadelphia, Miami, Sacramento, Washington, D.C.), cities with extensive industry (Detroit, Houston, San Jose), major business centers (Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia), important media centers (New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C.), major seaports (Newport News, Oakland, San Diego, Tampa), and important military facilities (Colorado Springs, Honolulu, Long Beach, Norfolk, San Francisco). The federal government is providing extensive training for police and emergency workers in these 120 cities, including preparation for conventional (e.g., bomb), biological, chemical, and radiological (�dirty bomb�) attacks. However ... Are the �At Risk Cities� Now Prepared? The short answer is no, they are not. So if you live in or within 50 miles of these cities, you should consider yourself at significant risk for the duration of the War on Terror, which President Bush says could last as long as 50 years. Fifty miles should be considered the minimal safe distance from an �at risk� city. The reason is that in event of even a small radiological or nuclear attack (5-20 kiloton weapon), lethal radiation and fallout will be carried by prevailing winds at least that far. In plain English, if the winds are blowing away from you, you will probably survive if you are 10-20 miles away. However, if winds are blowing toward you, you will probably be dead in a few days. Similarly, in event of a major biological attack, winds and fleeing survivors could easily carry pathogens at least 50 miles. In the event a more serious attack, you may need to be as much as 100-300 miles away from a target city to survive. - Monday, February 10, 2003 at 14:11:41 (EST)

Her family lost her father and brother and her fiance had been beheaded by the Kmher. She had been working in the fields for a couple years and although we were the same age she had to go back and finish high school while I was commuting daily to attend classes inside the bubble. She got a degree and worked in Silicon Valley, which must be where she met her current husband. His family sold their buisiness to a major defense contractor whom I shall not name. Because of that sale she no fortunately no longer has to fear unemployment from the imploding IT industry. She is doing well and they are building a 7,000 sq ft custom home in the Bay Area. Now here comes the fun part. They consigned some area stone cutter to carve three large stones for their fire place. Said this stone cutting imbicile is all the rage in the Bay Area and all the yuppies wait in line to get his envied works in their homes. He was asked to carve stones based on the Ankor Wat temple. She gave him photographs and other documentation. Said what he delivered was stone cuttings of "english scrolls and sun flowers." I kid you not.

My two cents are: I'll bet if you look around the web, Glint, you can find some historical material left over from the Imperial Japanese Truth Ministry that will fully excuse the attack on Pearl Harbor. Glint, there is always a well-reasoned explanation when one country attacks another country-- usually it is something about them attacking first, but in a pinch the other country intending to attack, or having the ability to attack, or having the ability to create some mischief, will do. Geesh, I'm amazed that you saw through the propaganda about Cliton's jack-booted thugs!

My two cents are: It's pretty comparing Iraq and Japan's Pearl attack. Like attacking Iraq would be similar to the Japping of Pearl. Like there were weapons inspectors scurring around the islands looking for gas and the League of Nations passing one resolution after another in order to keep the U.S. from lynching the wind chimes or some such fantasy of imagined brutality. Or Janan was left with no other choice to keep the U.S. from invading Canada but to try and sink the fleet in harbor after their secretary of state outlined intelligence indicating that the U.S. was misleading the world. You guys are dumber than dumb. Out of touch and out of your minds. Stick to your cheese and debates of lbs. vs. oz. That's where you shine like a glistening drop of tube juice.

He hurried to post it on this page to share his dismay, or because he felt it somehow supports a theory that all those muslims will have to be killed so he can feel safe. It's not much of an explanation, I'll admit, but it's the only one I can come up with at this time.

I remember an episode of Captain Midnight where the bad guys locked him inside of an ice block dispenser. He twisted some wire to fashion the letters "SQ1", pushed it on to the top of a block of ice, and waited. A middle-aged citizen happenened by and bought a block of ice. Upon seeing "SQ1" on the surface of the ice block, he immediatly contacted the authorities and saved the day.

My two cents are: Friday, 7 February, 2003, 07:15 GMT Nobel winners attack Bush economics Bush seems unconcerned by record budget defecits Ten Nobel prize winning economists have attacked President George W Bush's tax cutting policies. On Monday, Mr Bush sent his budget - designed to help revive the US economy and boost military spending - to Congress for approval. Overcapacity, corporate scandals and uncertainty have and will continue to weigh down the economy Nobel economists But the combination of cutting taxes and increasing spending will mean that the US is set to notch up record budget deficits greater than those run-up by his father more than 10 years ago. The most pointed criticism by the economists is that the proposed tax cuts will not deliver what they are meant to do - to provide a boost to the US economy which is struggling to recover from a recession in 2001. "Regardless of how one views the specifics of the Bush plan, there is wide agreement that its purpose is a permanent change in the tax structure and not the creation of jobs and growth in the near term," the economists said in a statement published by the Economic Policy Institute. Nobel economic laureates Joseph Stiglitz, Franco Modigliani and Lawrence Klein reserved much of their scorn for the proposal to cut the tax on share dividend payouts. Stock market gains? This was a key component of President Bush's plan, aimed at helping to shore up the struggling stock markets. "The permanent dividend tax cut, in particular, is not credible as a short-term stimulus," the statement said. "Moreover, the proposed tax cuts will generate further inequalities in after-tax income," it said. The statement, which has been signed by almost 400 economists, will be formally released at a news conference by the Washington-based think-tank on Monday 10 February. "Overcapacity, corporate scandals and uncertainty have and will continue to weigh down the economy," they said Alternative plan The economists offered an alternative economic plan. "To be effective, a stimulus plan should rely on immediate but temporary spending and tax measures to expand demand and it should also rely on immediate but temporary incentives for investment," they said. The seven other Nobel winners who signed the statement were George Akerlof, Kenneth Arrow, Daniel McFadden, Paul Samuelson, Robert Solow, Douglass North and William Sharpe.

My two cents are: On the first night of the war against Iraq, the United States will detonate "E-bombs" over President Saddam Hussein's key command-and-control bunkers in and around Baghdad, according to a report in the current issue of Newsweek about the plans for war. An E-bomb is a warhead, delivered by a cruise missile, that explodes to emit a high-energy pulse that, like a bolt of lightning, will fuse any electrical equipment within range. It has been more than a little temperamental in testing, and engineers would still like another year to work out the bugs. But if all goes according to plan, on the first night of an attack against Iraq, lights will blink out, computers will melt down and phones will go silent. Saddam and his lieutenants will be left shivering in silent darkness, alone and waiting to die. The desired effect of the first night's bombing, in the expression commonly used by military planners, is "shock and awe." The overall goal of the American blitz against Iraq will be to so stun and demoralize the Iraqi Army that Saddam's forces will quickly give up. In the first 48 hours of the attack, the U.S. armed forces are expected to rain some 3,000 precision-guided bombs and missiles on Iraqi air defenses, command-and-control, WMD sites and "leadership targets," which is to say they will try to kill Saddam, his sons and their closest followers. The high-tech arsenal that the U.S. has for this gulf war, which will be different from the first gulf war. It may be the first War of the Information Age. Gulf War I "was the last of the machine-age wars," says Maj. Gen. Robert Scales. Many of the weapons will look the same: Abrams main battle tanks, Apache helicopters, F-14, -15, -16, -18 warplanes. But the helicopters have a new targeting system poised over its rotor shaft, called a Longbow, that allows the chopper to target 16 enemy tanks at once. The Abrams has GPS -- Global Positioning System -- which allows every vehicle commander to know precisely where he is. And the bombs hanging from the warplanes are JDAMS, equipped with minicomputers and GP systems to steer themselves within, on average, 10 feet of their targets. From the outset, America will try to seize the Iraqi airwaves. Having used the E-bomb to knock out Saddam's ability to communicate with his troops and the Iraqi people, America will wage a war of psy-ops (psychological operations). The goal is not to massacre Saddam's army. Saddam's soldiers will be told, in essence: we need you for the new Iraq; don't die for the old one. The Taliban's defeat was widely seen as a triumph of Special Operations: elite Army A-Teams and CIA operators, bearded and sometimes on horseback, riding to victory. In Gulf War II, the ground troops are expected to jump off within three or four days of the first bombs' falling, and some Special Forces will move into Iraq sooner. The assault will more closely resemble the invasion of Panama in 1989-a sudden, go-for-broke "vertical envelopment" from many directions to take down the Manuel Noriega regime (it may not bode well that Noriega himself escaped and evaded a nationwide manhunt for several days). Saddam is not completely defenseless against American technology. Top Pentagon officials worry that he will try to jam the GP systems that give American soldiers such precision. The jamming devices mostly have short ranges, however, and the transmissions of more powerful ones would instantly attract American EA-6B Prowler aircraft, which would home in with HARM missiles.

You'd be surprised how many wide-liberal daughters pushed all the way to the Oregon Trail trailhead but jumped ship in Nebraska and married immigrant German stablehands with 360-acre-homestead plus three government handouts. It was the beginning of the midwestern tradition of hating your mother and sister because they are both smarter than you. I am proud to say that the fruit of my loins, and the loins of what's-his-name or maybe his brother Siegford, will one day wave the flag for a new Empire!

My two cents are: From that bow shooting, the whole top of my body, from the waist up, feels like its own creature. You know how you might see a slab of ribs in a butcher shop? Well, I feel like I got a discrewt slab of ribs on the right side and on the left side, that I can isolate and feel separately, each from the other and from the surrounding meat and bone connections. It's a little less acute toward the abs. The abs just feel like abs always do when you've used them a little more than usual. Just an awareness, underneath the overlying layer of ab lard.

Last year I got a piece of mail for him, opened it, and it was a dividend check for about $750, implicating that there was some capital floating around out there. His son, the guy who sold the shack to me, is a detective on the sheriff's, robbery detail, so he was easy to get hold of through the dispatcher. I don't like to call him direct, because he's usually busy winding that yellow crime site tape around somebody's duplex, and I don't want to bring justice to a halt.

He was an avid anti-communist, but his abject early life poverty skewed his inability to comprehend the merits of true capitalism. He avowed a sense of Catholicized benevolence for the poor. He jsut failed to ever grasp teh higher potential of capitalism as a better method towards benevolence for the greatest good of the greatest number, as opposed to the focal struggle with his own complete inability to relate to the success of systems he knew nothing about.

My two cents are: Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is. Nihilism is not only despair and negation, but above all the desire to despair and to negate. Marxism is not scientific: at the best, it has scientific prejudices. Every revolutionary ends by becoming either an oppressor or a heretic. Revolution, in order to be creative, cannot do without either a moral or metaphysical rule to balance the insanity of history. More and more, revolution has found itself delivered into the hands of its bureaucrats and doctrinaires on the one hand, and to the enfeebled and bewildered masses on the other. One leader, one people, signifies one master and millions of slaves. In order to exist just once in the world, it is necessary never again to exist. Absolute justice is achieved by the suppression of all contradiction: therefore it destroys freedom. We all carry within us our places of exile, our crimes, and our ravages. But our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to fight them in ourselves and in others. Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely. Children will still die unjustly even in a perfect society. Even by his greatest effort, man can only propose to diminish, arithmetically, the sufferings of the world. The rebel can never find peace. He knows what is good and, despite himself, does evil. The value which supports him is never given to him once and for all -- he must fight to uphold it, unceasingly. Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful. We are not certain, we are never certain. If we were we could reach some conclusions, and we could, at last, make others take us seriously. There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed. Mankind's only greatness is to struggle against that which overwhelms it. More and more, when faced with the world of men, the only reaction is one of individualism. Man alone is an end unto himself. Everything one tries to do for the common good ends in failure. You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all. We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives, that it is inside ourselves.

My two cents are: But most members of the current administration seem to have little sense that there's an enormous, complex world beyond our borders. The president himself has never traveled much in his life. They seem to think the universe consists of America and then everyone else -- small-potatoes people who can be steamrolled. And I'm absolutely appalled at the lack of acknowledgment of the cost to ordinary Iraqi citizens of any incursion by us, especially aerial bombardment. Most of the Iraqi armed forces are pathetically unprepared to respond to a military confrontation with us. These are mostly poor people who have a profession and a dignity within their country, and they're not necessarily totally behind Saddam Hussein's ambition to dominate his region. There's just no way that Saddam's threat is equal to that of Hitler leading up to World War II. Hitler had amassed an enormous military machine and was actively seeking world domination. We don't need to invade Iraq. Saddam can be bottled up with aggressive surveillance and pinpoint airstrikes on military installations. As we speak, I have a terrible sense of foreboding, because last weekend a stunning omen occurred in this country. Anyone who thinks symbolically had to be shocked by the explosion of the Columbia shuttle, disintegrating in the air and strewing its parts and human remains over Texas -- the president's home state! So many times in antiquity, the emperors of Persia or other proud empires went to the oracles to ask for advice about going to war. Roman generals summoned soothsayers to read the entrails before a battle. If there was ever a sign for a president and his administration to rethink what they're doing, this was it. I mean, no sooner had Bush announced that the war was "weeks, not months" away and gone off for a peaceful weekend at Camp David than this catastrophe occurred in the skies over Texas. From the point of view of the Muslim streets, surely it looks like the hand of Allah has intervened, as with the attack on the World Trade Center. No one in the Western world would have believed that those mighty towers could fall within an hour and a half -- two of the proudest constructions in American history. And neither would anyone have predicted this eerie coincidence -- that the president's own state would become the burial ground for the Columbia mission. Including one small town where the debris fell called Palestine, Texas.

My two cents are:

go Anne go: 'Will of Allah' Pre-Empts Iraq Invasion February 5, 2003 I KNEW THE media were up to something with their wall-to-wall coverage of the Columbia space shuttle explosion. The full story is: Shuttle disintegrated during re-entry; all astronauts killed, including some very remarkable people; very sad; NASA picking up the debris to figure out what happened. It was a plane crash story, only a lot more expensive. So why was the shuttle explosion being covered like the 9-11 terrorist attack? A quick review of the Treason Times laid bare the objective. Monday's New York Times proclaimed: "As Iraq War Looms, a New Sense of Vulnerability." American hubris blunted again! The article went on to quote a series of random Americans saying things like, "Now I'm hearing a lot of people say if we go to war, we're going to endanger a lot more than seven lives." Another classic Times' Man on the Street said that it "reinforces my belief that we should find diplomatic solutions instead of threatening other countries with war." The Times' Man on the Street always seems to be standing on a street suspiciously close to Central Park West. For one year, I don't believe the Times has managed to interview a single person who supports war with Iraq in a nation ablaze with war fever. And now the shuttle had presented a new argument for appeasement. Warning, Great Satan: Your money and technology and little gadgets cannot insulate you from disaster! Breathless news accounts of the shuttle blast were merely a more demure version of Islamic terrorists cheering in the street in reaction to the explosion. If it didn't violate the "wall of separation," the Times likely would be exclaiming: "It was the will of Allah!" The Gettysburg Address of liberal idiocy was a letter to the editor from a Jim Forbes of San Francisco two days after the crash. The Times titled his contribution to Liberalthink: "A Time of Mourning for Shattered Dreams: A Period of Healing." In full-dress sanctimony, Forbes wrote: "The loss of the space shuttle Columbia and its crew of seven is a national tragedy. Time is needed for Americans to mourn. I hope that President Bush will do the right thing by slowing down his march to war and focusing instead on the healing that such a blow to national pride requires." Here was the pithiest concentration of the multiple idiotic things liberals were saying about the space shuttle, the insincerity, the audacity, the smarminess � he even worked in "the healing process." How he must have polished that little gem! The idea that liberals feel the shuttle explosion was a tragedy is patent nonsense. They were jumping for joy at this new excuse to denounce the "march to war." The nation is marching to war at such breakneck speed, it will be two years from 9-11 before we attack. Melancholy that their relentless nay-saying is having no effect on the president's plans for Iraq, New York Times columnists are now positing imaginary scenarios in which war with Iraq leads to a stock market crash and brings the nation to the brink of nuclear war. Nicholas Kristof has gone the Maureen Dowd route of using the op-ed page of the Times for a dream-sequence column. But instead of dreaming about Bush being retarded, Kristof dreams of catastrophe for America. Kristof fantasized that, within the year, the North Koreans would be running riot through the Far East with their nukes. The column concluded with Bush apologizing to Secretary of State Colin Powell for invading Iraq. The strain of not having a Democrat in the Oval Office to create foreign policy disasters on his own is driving liberals to fevered fantasies of America's defeat someplace in the world. In other appeasement news, former U.N. arms inspector Scott Ritter has completely vanished from the anti-war scene since news of his sex arrest broke. Three weeks ago, it was revealed that Ritter was caught soliciting sex from underage girls on the Internet in 2001. Until news of his arrest broke, the New York Times had been treating Ritter's reincarnation as a peacenik as the greatest act of patriotism since Justice Souter voted to uphold abortion on demand. It's now Day 17 and counting of the Times' refusal to mention Ritter's arrest. Though the peace movement lost Ritter, it seems to have picked up Jerry Springer. Perhaps Springer is hoping he can get Scott Ritter's wife on the show to confront Ritter and the underage girl. But Ritter was a free-lance peacenik. At least the Times could count on stability and permanence from John Hartpence Kerry. Poor Kerry was just on the verge of figuring out whether he was for war with Iraq or against war with Iraq when he was told he hadn't figured out his own last name. Kerry was shocked to be told that, despite years of allowing himself to be passed off as an Irish Brahmin, both his paternal grandparents were Jewish and his real name is Kohn. Upon reflection, however, Kerry said there were signs he missed, such as his longtime, recently requited desire to marry a rich shiksa. And now Kerry will need time for the healing process. We must halt the march to war. - Saturday, February 08, 2003 at 17:34:29 (EST)

My two cents are: LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Law enforcement agencies in the Los Angeles area were on alert Friday night for a stolen truck hauling 44,000 pounds of boric acid, a material that can be used as an ingredient in explosives. The California Highway Patrol told United Press International the missing truck and its cargo container were stolen around 8 p.m. PST in Corona, around 30 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. The circumstances surrounding the alleged theft were not immediately available. The Corona police informed the FBI of the theft. There was no immediate comment from the bureau. There were no indications that the vehicle had been targeted by terrorists or anyone else intent on causing an explosion. However the theft occurred on the day that the national terrorist threat level was raised to "high" based on what federal authorities viewed as a credible evidence that an al Qaida attack was possible. Boric acid, the stolen cargo, is a colorless, odorless crystalline substance and is used in a number of industrial processes and products such as eye wash solution, flame retardants, insecticides and fertilizers, although it can also react violently with potassium, acid anhydrides and other chemicals.

My two cents are: MUNICH, Feb. 8 � Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld issued uncompromising challenges to both the United Nations (news - web sites) and NATO (news - web sites) over Iraq today, warning that the global body risked ridicule and discredit and cautioning three of America's European partners that delaying plans to defend Turkey weakened the Atlantic alliance. The senior United Nations weapons inspectors landed in Baghdad on what could be their last visit, seeking significant moves by Iraq to prove that it has really disarmed. Mr. Rumsfeld said the United Nations, by allowing Iraq to violate 17 Security Council resolutions over more than a decade, appeared to be following the League of Nations in choosing bluff over action. Allowing Iraq to become chairman of the United Nations Commission on Disarmament and selecting Libya to lead its Commission on Human Rights showed that the institution "seems not to be even struggling to regain credibility," he said.

My two cents are: S.F. man's astounding photo Mysterious purple streak is shown hitting Columbia 7 minutes before it disintegrated Sabin Russell, Chronicle Staff Writer Wednesday, February 5, 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Top investigators of the Columbia space shuttle disaster are analyzing a startling photograph -- snapped by an amateur astronomer from a San Francisco hillside -- that appears to show a purplish electrical bolt striking the craft as it streaked across the California sky. The digital image is one of five snapped by the shuttle buff at roughly 5:53 a.m. Saturday as sensors on the doomed orbiter began showing the first indications of trouble. Seven minutes later, the craft broke up in flames over Texas. The photographer requested that his name not be used and said he would not release the image to the public until NASA experts had time to examine it. Although there are several possible benign explanations for the image -- such as a barely perceptable jiggle of the camera as it took the time exposure -- NASA's zeal to examine the photo demonstrates the lengths at which the agency is going to tap the resources of ordinary Americans in solving the puzzle. Late Tuesday, NASA dispatched former shuttle astronaut Tammy Jernigan, now a manager at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, to the San Francisco home of the astronomer to examine his digital images and to take the camera itself to Mountain View, where it was to be transported by a NASA T-38 jet to Houston this morning. A Chronicle reporter was present when the astronaut arrived. First seeing the image on a large computer screen, she had one word: "Wow." Jernigan, who is no longer working for NASA, quizzed the photographer on the aperture of the camera, the direction he faced and the estimated exposure time -- about four to six seconds on the automatic Nikon 880 camera. It was mounted on a tripod, and the shutter was triggered manually. In the critical shot, a glowing purple rope of light corkscrews down toward the plasma trail, appears to pass behind it, then cuts sharply toward it from below. As it merges with the plasma trail, the streak itself brightens for a distance, then fades.

My two cents are: Guidelines for Heightened Security All employees are asked to be extra vigilant in this time of heightened security. The eyes and ears of employees are needed to gather information which by itself may seem inconsequential, but when compiled can reveal important security information. Please report any observations to your Area Security Manager or Area Manager. EMPLOYEES SHOULD NOT APPROACH OR ATTEMPT TO APPREHEND ANY SUSPICIOUS INDIVIDUALS. Observe and report. Descriptions of individuals (what were they wearing, unusual features, etc.) and vehicles (license plate number, color, make) should be given to your Area Security Manager, Area Manager or local law enforcement. Things to be on the lookout for: - Individuals that seem to be hanging around, checking out a facility - Individuals wearing inappropriately bulky clothing - Individuals who seem to be avoiding people talking on cell phones or other transmitting devices - Individuals who seem out of place, out of touch, or react inappropriately to their surroundings - Individuals taking pictures of equipment, entrances/exits, utility areas, security infrastructure, etc. - Cars that appear to be carrying a heavy load and/or are unusually low to the ground - Individuals trying to gain access to your facility by striking up a conversation with you as you are entering so they can bypass security measures - Anyone or anything that seems out of place or suspicious to you Report any of the above to your Area Security Manager or Area Manager. Additional things you can do: Lock government and private vehicles and secure keys. Do not park in unauthorized or insecure areas. Close and lock all gates and doors. Close and lock utility closets/cabinets. Report defective locks, gates, fences, lights and other items related to security Refer all questions relating to security of your facility to appropriate sources (Security Managers, Area Managers, Public Affairs) Report inquiries that appear to be concerned with details of security planning at your facility Do not accept packages for individuals without checking that they are expected; Call the sender to verify deliveries that you are suspicious of.

My two cents are: Kenya, twice the site of brazen attacks by Islamic terrorists in recent times, fears it may experience a "backlash" to any U.S.-led military strike in Iraq, the country's new foreign minister said yesterday. With the United States and Britain gearing up for war against Saddam Hussein, "our fear in Kenya is about the very possible backlash," Stephen K. Musyoka said in an interview. "Our hope is that any attack on Iraq does not bring an escalation in the kind of international terrorism from which we have already suffered." Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network is blamed for the August 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi that killed some 220 people and for last November's attacks on an Israeli plane and a hotel favored by Israeli tourists in Mombasa that took 16 lives. In both cases, the large majority of the victims were Kenyans. "When the bulls fight, it is the grass that suffers," Mr. Musyoka said, quoting an old Kenyan proverb. Mr. Musyoka, the highest-ranking Kenyan official to visit Washington since the Dec. 27 election that swept the party of longtime Kenyan leader Daniel arap Moi from power, said he found understanding for Kenya's vulnerability in talks this week with National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell and other senior administration officials. U.S. military officials last month announced a new joint task force with Kenya and five other Horn of Africa countries, backed by a 900-soldier force in Djibouti, to disrupt terrorist operations in the region. "Certainly we found U.S. leaders very aware of our situation," Mr. Musyoka said. He said Kenya has been exploited in part because Nairobi has tried to maintain good relations with Israel, with the Arab world, and with Washington and the West. "We want to be the Switzerland of Africa," he said. The Bush administration and European leaders have hailed the peaceful transfer of power in Kenya and the triumph of an opposition coalition headed by one-time Moi ally Mwai Kibaki. Mr. Musyoka, who served for a time as foreign minister under President Moi in the 1990s, was one of a number of senior officials of the ruling Kenya Africa National Union (KANU) who defected to Mr. Kibaki's cause in the months before the election. With a 125-seat majority in the 210-seat parliament, Mr. Kibaki's National Rainbow Coalition now faces steep voter expectations to bolster the economy and sagging educational and social services while attacking endemic corruption. "We know there are a lot of eyes focused on us, in Africa and around the world," said Mr. Musyoka. "We have to demonstrate we can implement the attributes of good governance, that we can make Kenya a place where there is zero tolerance for corruption." The foreign minister met with International Monetary Fund and World Bank officials in Washington and said his country is preparing to apply for funding from President Bush's new Millennium Challenge Accounts, an aid program designed to reward countries that institute political and corruption reforms. Analysts say Kenya's economy, which grew by less than 1 percent in 2002, needs fresh international funding to be revived this year. Mr. Musyoka hailed President Bush's State of the Union pledge to sharply increase U.S. funding to fight HIV/AIDS. An estimated 2.2 million Kenyans have AIDS, and just a tiny fraction can afford the latest anti-viral treatments used in the West. He said the new Kenyan government has the political support to take a more active role in regional crises, notably the instability in neighboring Sudan and Somalia. The virtual collapse of central authority in Somalia has led to a surge in smuggling and criminal activity across the poorly policed border with Kenya. "It is one of our top foreign policy interests to restore law and order in Somalia," said Mr. Musyoka, adding that Kenya and the United States have cooperated closely in the effort.

My two cents are: Boy, you really are stupid. Look, let me explain the meaning of life to you, or at least the subversive muslims and/or communist anarchists that fund them. The north Koreans have sold missiles, weapons, ammo, gunz, etc. to the people who live there. Those people then use it to hit the good guys. Same thing going on with the Scud sales to iraq. North Korea is as much about assisting the terrorists as the terrorists. They will ahve to be dealt with in due course. Their earlier supply of money to support Iraq and others illegally has come to light. Get a clue. You are simply one of the stupidest people on the ent.

The women stretched out in the snow spelling "No Bush" with their bodies. The naked protest was during a heavy snowfall and 20-degree temperatures. After spelling out "No Bush" the women ran back to an overpass, got dressed and had hot coffee and tea. Then 12 of them sprinted out naked again, this time spelling out the word "war." The Central Park peace demonstration was organized by Wendy Tremayne, a Manhattan artist. On her Web site, Tremayne urges people to send their stinky socks to the White House. The women had feared being arrested since it is illegal to bare all in the park, but there were no cops to be seen. A lone bird watcher spotted the naked group through her binoculars from 60 feet away.

Because the trip had been long and quiet, she stops the car and the Navajo woman climbs in. During their small talk, the Navajo woman glances surreptitiously at a brown bag on the front seat between them. "If you're wondering what's in the bag," offers the saleswoman, "it's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband." The Navajo woman is silent for a while, nods several times and says, "Good trade."

My two cents are: Maybe it's because Cliton sprang from the white trash. Rubes and haoles adopted by boring lower middle class families needed someone they could be superior to, and their bigoted elders obliged by saying it was the people on the other side of the tracks, the people without fluffy curtains like we got in the bungalow, the people who bet at the dog tracks and get blow jobs. Their faith that a rube was superior to at least a few people was threatened if not shattered when they discovered that a boy of the class they despised had become and Oggsford man and learned to wear Savile Row suits with real buttonholes, and become a slick lawyer and politican and finally President of the United States. For the rube or the haole, it was being robbed of everything that ever made him feel good and righteous. It was the world turned over and standing on its head. The very existence of Bill Clinton is a delegitimization of everything the rube or the haole stands for, the pinched, blue-nosed, bigoted essence of his deepest values.

Sort of the way the corn harvest or the cheating ways of city folk might always be in the back of a rube's mind, or what it would have been like to become a lawyer might be in the mind of a guy who thought it would prove to everyone that he was smart, except he was dyslexic and not very bright and couldn't pass the LSAT.

I admit the surrogate mom stuff and aversion to the kids' parents is a bit strange, but his basic problem is his unrealistic idealism. I'd call him a the "Penultimate Deluded Liberal." Second only to the liar Cliton. All liberals are whack, but the interviewer was unbendingly harsh and seeking "smoking guns" with this "colored" Peter Pan flittery gnat.

My two cents are: I believe Pete wishes us to be envious of him. That's usually what he wishes. It's something in the way he announces his vacation: " Oh yeah, well get this. I am heading to Kenya, Tanzania and South africa in May. Poot!" I detect an in-your-face note in that kind of an announcement. Like, maybe it's supposed to cause gasps, especially the "Poot" at the end. It's like when he springs it on everyone that he's dating the February, 1984 Penthouse Pet of the Month or his daughter's picture made Hustler or he just bought a used piece of Detroit pig iron and it rides like butter than has been well-formed. It's like when he tells about his Harvard days (although he hasn't said much about that in, oh, four years) or that Coloradao U. is top-notch or that he had a great eyepiece but a relative must have filched it. This man's life is one astounding event after another, each one better than the last, each one superior to what the average downtrodden hoale has any right to even dream of. Never mind that it really just sounds like so much copper roofing. Never mind that he's just some island grub. Never mind that he's no better than Glimp on the scale of sophistication. never mind that everything he wants us to envy just sounds like trailer trash lottery winner overindulgence, discounting the fact that it's all exagerration and lies anyway.

My two cents are: Do these two slack-jawed dufuses really believe one another? When Pete spouts some half-baked idea about the recipients of tax cuts investing it and making jobs, does Glint nod his head in genuine belief? And when Glint stupidly explains about the worrisom marriage penalty he gets the opposite of, does Pete bob his heavy jowls in dull agreement? If we put these two morons in a closet together, would they hug like a rube and his hermaphrodite teen-age neighbor, or would they fight like naturally belligerant vermin, like a centipede and a stink-bug? Guess we can never know the answer, the way Glint keeps Pete at arm's length, same as he stayed away from Jeremiah.

My two cents are: Poor Pete thinks that Saddam Hussein is a terrorist threat to the soccer moms. Is this guy gullible or what? Every bit of evidence there is says, all objective reality, that Saddam is entirely separate from Osama or and of the other Middle East terrorist outfits. He does it all free-lance, on his own. The people who support terrorists are Syria, Iran, and then Saudi Arabia clandestinely and underground elements in Egypt. Yet Bush says this is part of a war on terror, and Rummy draws false parallels, and poor Colin Powell has to get up and tattle about an al Quaeda figure visiting the Kurd area, and old Pete drinks it up as if it were the promise of a $1100 tax cut for the average American. Ain't it boring how the most willfully stupid among us, the Petes and the Glints, are always the ones to yap and fart loudest about those truths they snooker themselves into believing self-evident? Can't these poor rubes ever come up with an idea that isn't a mossy old campaign lie fit for nothing more than being recycled through Rush Limbaug's lard-encrusted brain? Geesh!

My two cents are: Presidential hopeful Sen. John Edwards [D-NC] is preparing to throw caution to the wind in confederate flag-sensitive South Carolina this weekend when he celebrates his White House ambition with a political gathering at the house of a Confederate hero, the William Aiken House in Charleston. The controversial meeting at the Aiken House, sponsored by the South Carolina Democratic Leadership Council, comes as the NAACP continues its call for an economic boycott of South Carolina to protest the flying of the Confederate battle flag on the State House grounds. South Carolina is the first Southern primary in which African-Americans are expected to make up half of the voters. Aiken, once the South's largest slaveholder [he owned a rice plantation on Jehossee Island worked by more than 700 slaves], supported the Confederate cause by donating supplies and large bond subscriptions. Aiken turned his house over to Confederate Brigadier General Beauregard for use as a temporary headquarters during the Union shelling of lower Charleston. When Aiken refused to attend the ceremony raising the U.S. flag over Fort Sumter after it was retaken by Union forces, he was arrested by the order of U.S. Secretary of War and was taken to Washington, D.C..

My two cents are: Senate Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., is defending his decision to honor a once prominent white supremacist politician by naming the Senate's primary office building after him, calling the notorious racist "my mentor." Byrd, a former Ku Klux Klansman, had cosponsored the legislation that named the Richard Russell Senate Office Building after the long dead Georgia Democrat 31-years ago. "He was kind of my mentor," Byrd said recently, noting that Sen. Russell was known as an expert on Senate rules, much like himself. But earlier this week civil rights activist Dick Gregory and several other prominent African-Americans launched a campaign to have the Russell Building's name changed. "We're fixing to educate people all the way across the country," Gregory told the Albany Times-Union on Sunday, complaining that the decision to name such a prominent federal building after the renowned racist is "an insult and an indignity." "Most people don't even know who Richard Russell was or that there's a building here named after him," Gregory explained, adding that having the building named after one of the Senate's most notorious hate-mongers was the equivalent of "seeing a building named after Adolf Hitler" in modern-day Germany. Other prominent civil rights activists, such as Dorothy Height, Dolores Tucker and radio show host Joe Madison, have joined Gregory's "Change the Name" campaign, which he kicked off on Feb. 4. Russell, who died in 1971, was a staunch racist, segregationist and, according to the Times-Union, "a slayer of civil rights legislation during his 38-year Senate career." Fighting to keep blacks down and preserve Jim Crow laws earned Sen. Russell a reputation as "the South's best general since Robert E. Lee." But Sen. Byrd threw cold water on the Russell Building name change idea, telling the Times-Union that he doubts the movement will attract much support. Instead the former Klansman, who as recently as two years ago was still using the "N"-word in broadcast interviews, told the paper that Russell "knew the rules of the Senate and he was kind of my mentor." Despite Byrd's praise for Sen. Russell, James Thurber, a political scientist at American University, told the Albany paper that the Georgia Democract was "a racist and a white supremacist." Though most of the Senate's Democratic leadership has yet to weigh in on the "Change the Name" idea, a few Democrats have come forward to buck the powerful "N"-word-using West Virginian. "If this (Change the Name campaign) is successful, I think it would be monumental," said Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. Among Sen. Russell's more noxious proposals, according to the Times-Union, was a 1964 bill to establish a federal racial relocation commission that would "more equitably distribute" African-Americans throughout the country so that every state would be approximately 10 percent black. At the time the late Sen. Hubert Humphrey, D-Minn., described the Russell relocation plan as a product of the "Hitler-Stalin school of shifting populations around." Sen. Byrd's mentor also succeeded in blocking anti-lynching legislation for years. Byrd himself recently denied through a spokesman that he had ever participated in lynchings or cross-burnings against African-Americans while he was a member of the Klan in the 1940s.

My two cents are: No, socialist idiot, there is no "giveaway" from any treasury, only less money taken from those who earned it and who are in the best position to re-invest it to grow capital and investment opportunities instead of wasteful government. Say a difference between being taxed at 38% down to 34%. You are as stupid as you sound. We already know you are a liar.

My two cents are: So, I watched the whole Michael Jackson interview. I thought the interviewer was more "disturbing" than Jacko. Am I wrong in concluding that ole Mike is simply a harmless pollyanna who simply wants to world to love, love, love? I admit the surrogate mom stuff and aversion to the kids' parents is a bit strange, but his basic problem is his unrealistic idealism. I'd call him a the "Penultimate Deluded Liberal." Second only to the liar Cliton. All liberals are whack, but the interviewer was unbendingly harsh and seeking "smoking guns" with this "colored" Peter Pan flittery gnat.

Three men, one German, one Japanese and a hillbilly were sitting nakedin a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The German pressed his forearm and the beep stopped. The others looked at him questioningly. "That was my pager, "he said, "I have a micro chip under the skin of my arm." A few minutes later a phone rang. The Japanese fellow lifted his palm to his ear. When he finished he explained, "That was my mobile phone. I have a micro chip in my hand." The hillbilly felt decidedly low tech, but not to be outdone he decided he had to do something just as impressive. He stepped out of the sauna and went to the bathroom. He returned with a piece of toilet paper hanging from his behind. The others raised their eyebrows and stared at him. The hillbilly finally said... "Well, will you look at that, I'm getting a fax."

Watched MSNBC's special on the Challenger. Never thought they could take something so tragic and make it so funny. They showed a split screen of the VIP and the rocket during liftoff. When it exploded the neophytes who had never seen a shuttle lift off before cheered and laughed with glee. In the background you could hear the muffled screams of horror obviously coming from those who knew what to expect and understood what they were seeing. The ignorant ones were gigggline and pointing and waving. I have to admit I laughed. - Friday, February 07, 2003 at 11:56:38 (EST)

My two cents are: "This tax relief is for everyone who pays income taxes. ... Ninety-two million Americans will keep this year an average of almost $1,100 of their own money." One third of all Americans will never see a dime of that tax cut. Half of all taxpayers will get less than $100 from the Bush tax cut. Those who make more than $1 million a year will get an average cut of $92,000. That may average out to $1,100, but it ain't going to the average family. As The New Yorker recently noted, if Bill Gates walked into a soup kitchen serving 60 bums, the average worth of the people in that room would be $1 billion each. But it would still be Bill Gates and 60 bums.

"Even though hundreds of other government programs would be squeezed, the president projects the deficit will still hit record highs of $304 billion this year and $307 billion in 2004. Over the next five years, the deficits would total $1.08 trillion. ... Taken together, the new stimulus measure and making the tax cut permanent would add up to $1.3 trillion in new tax relief, on top of the $1.35 trillion tax reduction Congress passed in 2001." -- Associated Press, Feb. 3, 2003.

The president's first education budget after he signed his much-touted No Child Left Behind Act proposed $22.2 billion, a cut of more than $90 million below the previous year and more than $7 billion less than Congress had authorized. They need to change the name of the law to the Quite a Few Children Left Behind Act.

My two cents are: I think this war adventure of Bush's could be the best thing since fried custard. On the other hand, it could be a real disaster for us, the whole middle east, and maybe the entire world. One of the things it may do will be to really disrupt the world economy more than Bush's mistakes in economic management has already done. Thinking that big tax cuts would help rather than hurt as they turned out to do was a mistake, as well as failing to act to stop the illegal corporate behavior that put the kibosh on Wall Street, and going two or three hundred billion dollars further into debt may likewise retard prosperity. Of course, once we blow up most of Iraq, the Europeans and other rich nations in the UN will jump in and pay for the reconstruction, as a sort of thank-you for our being such Good Sams. So we should be out of the woods on this one in forty or fifty years, should it go sour.

The guy had to take arithmetic in pre-med, didn't he? He must know that an average tax cut of about $1100 as claimed by the Bushistas doesn't mean a cut of $1100 for the average person. Is Frist as dumb as Glint reading a pie chart, or is he a good Republican and therefore a facile liar? (I'd explain exactly how this works, for Pete, but the poor pathetic haole just doesn't have the equipment to follow a discussion of such arcane topics as averaging tax cuts.

Always have been and always will be. Martin Peretz's desire to attack Saddam Hussein has nothing to do with weapons or even oil, and everything to do with an irrational belief that killing random Arabs will ensure the future of Israel. He may be right and he may be wrong, but on the way to it he's not thinking, just knee-jerking.

Now that Colin Powell has revealed the crushing evidence of his deceit, I am stunned by his obvious attempts to bamboozle everyone from Koffi Annan on down. It in fact weakens my my faith in the veracity of every sheik in Araby. No longer do I automatically think of them as noble sons of the desert, at least in matters of diplomacy. I am still sure that none of them would ever try to cheat a tourist on the price of dirty post-cards or a camel ride.

My two cents are: "CASE CLOSED: No doubt about it, Colin Powell laid out a brutally compelling case for war with Iraq at the U.N. Security Council today. The audio tapes of high-ranking Iraqi military officers conspiring to hide evidence of chemical and biological weapons; the satellite footage of Iraqis sanitizing chemical and biological weapons facilities; the descriptions of Iraqi mobile production facilities and un-manned delivery vehicles--all these pieces of evidence were both damning on their merits and dramatic in their effect. If we have one reservation it's that Powell's speech probably didn't need to be as ambitious and far-ranging as it was. In the context of the U.N. Security Council, evidence that Saddam Hussein continues to manufacture weapons of mass destruction, that he refuses to destroy his existing stockpiles in a way that can be easily verified, and that, to the contrary, he's actively hiding them from weapons inspectors, should be sufficient to place Iraq in material breach of Resolution 1441 and trigger armed intervention...."

My two cents are: You see, the rule for an intelligent person is to do what makes sense and therefore what makes the language work. It doesn't hurt to know what various pedants have said or what tight-assed rules they have laid down, because these are all facets on the language, and that's why I have bothered to learn all the rules, including the false or half-remembered rules that Pete occasionally spouts. But in the end, a good writer has to rely on his own ear and good sense.

My two cents are: Always wonder if there's a corps of primary school teachers out there trying to keep the little ones from learning how to read. For example, down below we have a citation from some uptight schoolmarm who talks about putting certain punctuation marks inside a closing quotation mark, referring to a quotation. The slick or wiley reader would remember that Pete was not bitching about an ending quotation mark, and he wasn't even bitching about a quotation. He way saying that instead of writing "'i' before 'e', except after 'c'," one should write "'i' before 'e,' except after 'c,'." Note that I put the period inside the ending quotation mark of the quotation. Is this a little too complex for the rube mind? Sorry.

My two cents are: Pete wins: Comma/Period • The comma and period always go inside the closing quotation mark when there is no parenthetical reference. • "Really, there is no excuse for aggressive behavior," the supervisor said. "It sets a bad example." • The comma and period always go inside a quotation within another quotation when there is no parenthetical reference. According to the film critic, "One of the most widely acclaimed actors in history, Humphrey Bogart, is quoted as saying, 'I don't like acting.'" The period goes outside of the quotation mark when using a parenthetical reference. "Animals have a variety of emotions similar to human's" (Erikson 990).

My two cents are: From askoxford.com... Q: Do the seasons (summer, autumn etc.) require a capital letter? A: The seasons do not need a capital letter and there is ample support for this usage in the following books: Concise Oxford Dictionary (2001); Oxford Dictionary for Writers & Editors (2000); and Oxford Guide to Style (2002). The last of these says 'capital initial for seasons only when personified', which really amounts to 'only in poetry'.
Therefore, capilization in 09:30 is appropriate.

My two cents are: The Leylands are well irrigated this current Winter. The previous couple winters have been dry and windy. But with all this snow and rain they're sure to sprout mightily upward come Spring. The only thing that worries me is they are looking so healthy and ready to hulk out that they might get a false start and begin their spurt before the last frost. I've seen that happen before. Causes the 4"-6" of the top of each branch to turn brown. <> Cheap bastard, get a snake and get over it. Reminds me of the time I snaked the basement drain our previous house. Rented a 50 footer. Deployed the snake to its full length and still couldn't get it unclogged. The girls, who were quite small came running in all excited and said that there was poop bubbling up out of the yard. That was good news go me because it meant that the problem was outside of the house and was therefore time to call in the professionals. Two guys in a truck showed up after dinner. It was summer time so the sun was still up. One took a spade and dug a pit about 3' down and about 1' wide and stuck the septic pipe. A small panel a few inches across lifted out of the pipe. That was the cleanout. I asked them how they knew exactly where to dig. "Eight feet back from that pipe," one said pointing to an above-ground cleanout. They gave it a professional snaking, refilled the hole and tamped the sod back on. All that - two guys, emergency service, quick, efficient, and neat. The bill arrived in the mail a few days later. Came to just $90. About six months later I was cleaning out the garage and found the bill laying behind a garbage bin. It hadn't been paid but nobody from the plumbers' bitched. Guess they didn't really need the money, but I sent it in anyway as a satisfied customer. So don't call Roto-Rooter. Call two guys and a truck.

There wouldn't be any reason to send in guys to look for stuff if we didn't think he was hiding stuff, after all. Of course, if we really don't care about all that, and just want to boot the guy out because he tried to whack Poppy and has a lot of oil, that's another thing. If that's our motive, Bush should just level with his fellow-citizens. Ralley the troops with a little truth for a change. Might work better than the lies, who knows?

My two cents are: I've been musing over Glint's shock and dismay to find that the sticks in his tree pots weren't as thick as he'd like them to have been. It didn't seem natural to me-- most real Americans, if they wanted bigger stakes, would buy some or make some and not count on some other guy to supply them. Then it struck me-- the guy is from Nebraska where wood doesn't grow on trees-- gets trucked in from forested parts of the country. Probably over there in the cornlands wood is not just something you whittle at, or grab a stick and fashion it into a tree stake, if you are foolish enough to want to stake your trees. See, if you have cultural sensitivity, and think things over, you can understand something even as mysterious as the workings of a rube's mind. Of course you have to know where the rube is from; it wouldn't have worked with a rube from northern Michigan, for example, but you get the idea. Cultural sensitivity and a little thought, that's all it takes. We can become one big happy family, each man tolerant of the other, no matter how off-the-wall or moronic his attitudes seem.

My two cents are: Called Mr. Rooter to ask how much to clean out the 1 1/2" drain line from the sink, they won't give a quote, have to come out. So the guy comes out in his Mr. Rooter truck and says $130. I was figuring maybe $30 max. Told him no thanks. I felt as cheap as Glint, but, hey $130 to chip the inside of twenty feet of pipe, from a clean-out on the outside? It was like Glint examining the stakes on his trees and finding them wanting. But I figured, what the hell, they got a lot of money in the truck and those motorized snakes don't come cheap, this is capitalism and I'm priced out of the market. You can't go around like a rube from Nebraska, resenting people because they won't serve you for free. I'll get myself twenty feet of inch and a half PVC and spank it in after work one of these eve's as the days get longer, save a hundred and fifteen bones.

The rEpublican Congress then did what they could to stop socialsits who wanted to derail the growth by raising taxes. But all cycles downturn. With teh right infrastructure of tax cuts and correct investments and reducing socialsit waste, the market will come back. But teh reale xcesses were teh lax enforcement poilicies during the Cliton years for corporate accounting practices. There is virtually nothing that was a direct result of anythign that Cliton and his liar cronies did, except risk our national security by robbing defense to falsely inflate his domestic agendas. Teh right balance is now back in power. It will take years to deal with teh stagnation to our economic growth potential caused by allowing demonrats to have power. But at least it is not irreversible. Now, the Repubs are in full control and if they can get beyond this war mess caused in aprt by Cliton's miserable "foreign" policies, then we should emerge better economically and stave off the evil desire to socialsize America any more than it already is.

My two cents are: On Monday, Fleischer dismissed suggestions that Bush had not been interested in the NASA program before the Columbia crash and rejected a report that Bush had never been to the Space Center. He told reporters the president visited the facility near Houston in 1995 or 1996. The spokesman did not know the exact date, and promised to do more research. Fleischer said Tuesday that after further review, Bush's staff could find no record of the visit. "Johnson Space Center says that he did not go there, and I'm not able to find the exact date. So that's why I say it's murky," Fleischer said. "To the president's recollection, he thinks he has been there," his spokesman said, adding that Bush's staff from Texas also thought they recalled such a visit.

... Powell said the al Qaeda network was headed up by Abu Musab Zarqawi, a high-ranking Osama bin Laden lieutenant who fled to Iraq after being driven out of Afghanistan. Zarqawi has been linked to last October's assassination of U.S. diplomat Laurence Foley in Jordan and the alleged ricin plot that was broken up in London last month. He is connected with the Ansar al-Islam, a Taliban-style group that operates in Kurdish controlled Northern Iraq. ...

My two cents are: Pete has said, "For the Germans, who knows. They are still afflicted with whatever it was that led to teh development of creeps like Bismark and Hitler. I'd say they like Saddam cause he detracts from their inherent evil history, one that potentially exists in any governmental/socialsitic regime." Isn't this enough? Besides, how can he flesh out "who knows?" How can he flesh out "whatever it was?" Pete merely observes the evil bubbling up out of the German stewpot, the Bismarks and the Hitlers. He does not explain it. That is not his job. Isn't it enough to know that arch-fiends like Otto von Bismark existed, and that it was Germany that produced them? With Germany, the potential history that lurks in any governmental/socialsitic regime was not just potential in Germany. It actually produced the socialist bastard, Bismark, and then the socialsitic Hitler. Listen to Pete. He's got his thinking cap on.

My two cents are: X in our alphabet being a needless letter has an added invincibility to the attacks of the spelling reformers, and like them, will doubtless last as long as the language. X is the sacred symbol of ten dollars, and in such words as Xmas, Xn, etc., stands for Christ, not, as is popular supposed, because it represents a cross, but because the corresponding letter in the Greek alphabet is the initial of his name -- Xristos. If it represented a cross it would stand for St. Andrew, who "testified" upon one of that shape. In the algebra of psychology x stands for Woman's mind. Words beginning with X are Grecian and will not be defined in this standard English dictionary.

My two cents are: WAR, n. A by-product of the arts of peace. The most menacing political condition is a period of international amity. The student of history who has not been taught to expect the unexpected may justly boast himself inaccessible to the light. "In time of peace prepare for war" has a deeper meaning than is commonly discerned; it means, not merely that all things earthly have an end -- that change is the one immutable and eternal law -- but that the soil of peace is thickly sown with the seeds of war and singularly suited to their germination and growth. It was when Kubla Khan had decreed his "stately pleasure dome" -- when, that is to say, there were peace and fat feasting in Xanadu -- that he heard from afar Ancestral voices prophesying war. One of the greatest of poets, Coleridge was one of the wisest of men, and it was not for nothing that he read us this parable. Let us have a little less of "hands across the sea," and a little more of that elemental distrust that is the security of nations. War loves to come like a thief in the night; professions of eternal amity provide the night.

My two cents are: SATIRE, n. An obsolete kind of literary composition in which the vices and follies of the author's enemies were expounded with imperfect tenderness. In this country satire never had more than a sickly and uncertain existence, for the soul of it is wit, wherein we are dolefully deficient, the humor that we mistake for it, like all humor, being tolerant and sympathetic. Moreover, although Americans are "endowed by their Creator" with abundant vice and folly, it is not generally known that these are reprehensible qualities, wherefore the satirist is popularly regarded as a soul-spirited knave, and his ever victim's outcry for codefendants evokes a national assent.

"Man, I understand, is about to be created. He will need laws." "What, wretch! you his appointed adversary, charged from the dawn of eternity with hatred of his soul -- you ask for the right to make his laws?" "Pardon; what I have to ask is that he be permitted to make them himself." It was so ordered.

My two cents are: Could the French and the Germans have been trading across the sanctions? Duh. Could the Americans, specifically Poppy Bush and friends ahve been trading across the sanctions? Duh. Is finding the goods on them a good enough reason to topple Saddam? No, not with this justice department. Ashcroft will give them the same hiding he gave Bill Gates. From now on you can't do the things we told you not to do the last time we called you on the carpet, Bill.

My two cents are: RELIGION, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable. "What is your religion my son?" inquired the Archbishop of Rheims. "Pardon, monseigneur," replied Rochebriant; "I am ashamed of it." "Then why do you not become an atheist?" "Impossible! I should be ashamed of atheism." "In that case, monsieur, you should join the Protestants."

My two cents are: PATRIOTISM, n. Combustible rubbish read to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name. In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.

My two cents are: It's oil, glint. Black gold, Tejas tea. That is for the Frenchies. For the Germans, who knows. They are still afflicted with whatever it was that led to teh development of creeps like Bismark and Hitler. I'd say they like Saddam cause he detracts from their inherent evil history, one that potentially exists in any governmental/socialsitic regime. The Rewskies aren't too pissed cause they got oil, just can't seem to drill it right. Heck, the Chinee were helping Saddam build his underground storage places and the North Koreans were supplying the jerks with the banned weapons. I'd start looking at what is up their craw first. In the end, the french always cave. We'll offer them some brie and toast and tell them they can have some of their oil field investments back. Teh krauts are a different story, boiling with new found nationalistic pride. I think the rewskies were right to keep those barbarians separate. We'll see how long they stay in their caves. Frotunately, the last century saw about 20 million of them go down the tubes so it will take a while to restock. Perhaps Iran changing its name back to Persia might help.

My two cents are: Part of the reason we are now in this fight against terror requiring us to spend to get our defense capabilities for this country back to snuff is because Cliton, the traitor, was asleep at the switch on foreign threats or otherwise getting blown by federal employees on the job. He cut defense and now we pay the price. Further, the economic windfall that was experienced during the years in question were caused in part by Reagan's economic infrastructure created by tax cuts and Reagan/Bush's win of the Cold War and the defeat of the demonrat's control on Congress by Republicans in 1994. Waht blipped it for Bush Sr. were the liar demonrats who blackmailed Bush Sr. into raising taxes or they would not support the first Gulf War. This created a short economic problem, as was obvious in itself from their advocacy of failed socialsit policies. Cliton could do little to control the economy once the demonrats lost control of the Congress which was being steered by the budgets enforced by the Republican blocked Congress. Soon, we will revert to fiscal responsibility again, despite the lies distortions and power plays for personal political gain by the sick treasonous lying liberals. Money circulating in the capitalist syustem is what creates opportunities, not sucking it into wasteful government programs and feeding habits designed to continue suckling at the socialist teet. America needs to ween itself from teh perversions of Cliton's suckling for prurient craves, as opposed to nurturing the growth of a real country's economic system.

You could hate Nixon, because he carried a sack of dysfunction on his back, and you could hate Poppy for the same reason, although nobody bothered. Nixon wasn't really afraid of his daughters. It was more like paranoia. He was paranoid about everything, daughters included. It was in his sack of dysfunction. We hated him, but we like G.W. Bush. Even Hunter S.

My two cents are: The U.S. Constitution provides the means for preventing George W. Bush from engaging in a war of aggression against Iraq, and from advancing a first strike potentially nuclear preemptive war. It's called impeachment. High Crimes and Misdemeanors Impeachment is the direct constitutional means for removing a President, Vice President or other civil officers of the United States who has acted or threatened acts that are serious offenses against the Constitution, its system of government, or the rule of law, or that are conventional crimes of such a serious nature that they would injure the Presidency if there was no removal. A Constitutional Imperative Impeachment appears six times in the U.S. Constitution. The Founders weren't concerned with anything more than with impeachment because they had lived under King George III and had in 1776 accused the king of all the things that George W. Bush wants to do: Usurpation of the power of the people; Being above the law; Criminal abuse of authority. Power Remains in the Hands of the People Impeachment is the means by which We The People of the United States and our elected representatives in Congress can prevent further crimes by the President and the human catastrophe they threaten and force accountability for crimes committed. Save the Constitution, the U.N., and Countless Human Lives Congressional proceedings for impeachment can bring about open, fearless consideration of the most dangerous acts and threats ever committed by an American President. If courageously pursued, they can save our Constitution, the United Nations, the rule of law, the lives of countless people and leave open the possibility of peace on earth. The Time for Action is Now Each of us must take a stand on impeachment now, or bear the burden of having failed to speak in this hour of maximum peril.

My two cents are: Hey, that's not right. Clinton may be bad, but he ain't bad enough to splurt his semen all over Glint's grand-mother's rump, or maybe watch it drying on Glint' mother's ass itself. Why would Cliton have to mess with old German farm wives about the age of Glint's mother? Let me just say that I don't think all the Breightly men, pa and grandpa ,and the uncles as well, are what we're talking about here. Let's restrict this to Glint and not drag in every Hans, Deiter, und Silverstein in the entire R�lle family tree. It's Cliton's cum on Glint's wife's ass and pmGlint's wife's ass alone that we're talking about here. Let's be fair.

Would Pete go to Clinton's party and kiss Clinton's ass and come back and tell us all how Fess Parker had slipped to a distant 2nd? You bet he would.

My two cents are: Asked whom they trust more on Iraq policy, more people said they were more likely to trust Secretary of State Colin Powell, 63 percent, than the 24 percent who said they were more likely to trust President Bush, a new poll says. Almost six in 10, 56 percent, said they have a great deal of trust in Powell, while four in 10, 39 percent, said they have a great deal of trust in the president, according to the CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll released Monday. Powell has been an advocate within the administration of working closely with the United Nations to resolve the Iraq situation. In recent days, as deep divisions have split Europe, Powell has taken a more hawkish stance about the need to disarm Iraq soon. The secretary of state continues to have the highest favorable rating among members of the Bush administration, 86 percent, compared with 68 percent for Bush.

My two cents are:

SADDAM Hussein's senior bodyguard has fled with details of Iraq's secret arsenal. His revelations have supported US President George W. Bush's claim there is enough evidence from UN inspectors to justify going to war. Abu Hamdi Mahmoud has provided Israeli intelligence with a list of sites that the inspectors have not visited. They include: AN underground chemical weapons facility at the southern end of the Jadray Peninsula in Baghdad; A SCUD assembly area near Ramadi. The missiles come from North Korea; TWO underground bunkers in Iraq's Western Desert. These contain biological weapons. William Tierney, a former UN weapons inspector who has continued to gather information on Saddam's arsenal, said Mahmoud's information is "the smoking gun". "Once the inspectors go to where Mahmoud has pointed them, then it's all over for Saddam," Tierney said. Tierney, who has high-level contacts in Washington that go to the White House, said the information we publish today on Mahmoud's revelations "checks out, absolutely checks out". Mahmoud was a mem ber of the elite unit that protects Saddam. It is called the Murasiq Qun � the "Inner Circle". He was known as "The Gatekeeper". Mahmoud is a muscular Saddam lookalike often photographed standing behind Saddam when he is seated, or to his left when on the move. Last week, Mahmoud was being debriefed at a high-security base in Israel's Negev Desert. Ariel Sharon, the country's hard-line prime minister, has only allowed snippets of Mahmoud's sensational claims to be shared with the CIA and MI6. "Sharon intends to shatter the growing anti-war movement," a source close to Mr Sharon said. "He plans to call all those European leaders who are wavering to let them know how Saddam has continued to fool Hans Blix and his weapons inspectors." Mahmoud's revelations include locations of five bunkers buried beneath man-made sand dunes. Stockpiled in the bunkers are warheads identical to the empty shell cases found two weeks ago by the UN inspectors. Mahmoud said those shells were on their way to be refilled and stored in the bunkers. A transcript from his debriefing includes: "Saddam's weapons of mass destruction are also concealed in a tunnel complex deep beneath the sewers of Baghdad and in an underground complex in Ouja, to the north of Tikrit. "The complex was built five years ago with help from Chinese engineers. "The entrance to the site is through a house in Tikrit. It is the home of one of Saddam's cousins and is more than half a mile from where the weapons are stored." In another excerpt from his debriefing, Mahmoud boasts: "I was inside the innermost circle where Saddam eats and sleeps. "I was among the handful of bodyguards closest to him. "Very few people are allowed close to Saddam. "Many of the TV images you see of him were taken years ago. Most people now only speak to him over the phone. He usually calls them. "If they have to call him back with information he wants, it is passed through his sons (Uday and Qusay) or (Deputy Prime Minister) Tariq Aziz. "All those close to him have codes, which they use to access the outer circle. But even they can only come so close to Saddam before there is a cut-off point � the Inner Circle. Even Tariq Aziz is checked to see if he is carrying weapons. "Saddam knows fortunes are being offered to have him assassinated." Saddam's paranoia increased after Uday, his eldest son, narrowly escaped assassination when gunmen riddled his car with bullets in 1996. Uday was partially paralysed and uses a wheelchair. To avoid falling victim to even his own bodyguards, Saddam is a walking arsenal. "He has concealed guns all over his body," Mahmoud said. "He also has panic buttons to press if he even suspects somebody is about to attack him." Israeli intelligence sources have hinted that the deal with Mahmoud included smuggling his family out of Iraq. Mossad agents have done this before. At the start of Saddam's reign of terror, they persuaded an Iraqi pilot to fly his Russian fighter to Israel � after spiriting out his wife and children. - Monday, February 03, 2003 at 18:57:53 (EST)

That's right, the one that said our president is a drunken simpleton who is afraid of his children. Being Pete, he has no talent for the complexities of her ridiculous argument, so he's latched on to the part about how Bush believes in God, and Democrats don't. What do you expect? Of course that kind of brain-work is going to lead to meltdown.

My two cents are: 16:58 proves the Noonan point anew. It lies in order to create an interest in a pseudo-God to titilate its God-rejecting void brain waves. It is not about the truth to these cretins, but stimulating their deprived neural focal points, much akin to their star zombie Christopher Reeves. Not much difference, really. The lies are all part of the effort to fill the void left by their excising lobotomies of any normal moral analysis of right and wrong. Once they shed the traditional constraints of society's mores and codes of behavior centered on a God inspired system, they have replaced it with unending angst designed to mollify their cravings for that loss. Problem is they cannibalize any sense of form, reason and structure by denigrating any semblance of structure except that which puports to assuage their own power and ego-transformation into pseudo-gods. Sick, really, but we all know that from jsut watching these cretins pretend they ahve even one shred of credibility. Plus, thee is no way to prove God does not exist any more than one can presently prove God does exist. So, the quandary is not even weighted in these idiots favor to begin with. It must be sad and lonely limiting ones self to amoral, anti-social ego-aggrandizing efforts to satisfy a complete intellectual vaccum left by rejecting something they can't even prove does not exist, but nonetheless seek no further solice or comfort by its potential for hope and inherent goodness.

My two cents are: I care, Glint, please proceed. Sounds interesting to me. Sure beats listening to more of the lies from the left. See, this prove's Noonan's point. Liberals think they are intellectually superior, are God-challenged and therefore seek something inspiring or interesting or else they trash heap it because it doesn't hit their interest meter. That is a large part of the reason why the liberal policies have ignored the fundamental bedrock upon which this country is founded and operates. Truth is they don't get it cause their brains are not superior, and in fact quite uninterestingly uninspiring after all, as they only look for something interesting to pique their own limited, restricted God-rejecting pea brains. That is why infinity must confound them and, while also interesting, is as unknowable as God. They cannot spout some half-baked opinion to spew it away. They have to account for infinity, which they can't, much like their supprot for socialism. In the end, they are misguided liars who seek to cram policies of nihilism and economic annihilation down the throats of those who just try to live their lives in a responsible, God-fearing, respectable manner that also seeks to optimize the greatest good for the greatest numer. Sounds boring, but it is the only chance for survival.

My two cents are: Jupiter is at opposition to the Sun on Feb. 2, when it is directly opposite the Sun in respect to Earth. At opposition, Jupiter rises at sunset, stands highest in the south at midnight, and sets at sunup. Now is prime time for spotting Jupiter in the night sky. The big gas giant reached opposition to the Sun on Sunday, Feb. 2. That means it's be directly opposite the Sun with respect to Earth. Jupiter will rise at sunset, stand highest in the south at midnight, and set at sunup. Presently, Jupiter can be found within the faint stars of Cancer, the Crab. Sadly, the plague of light pollution is robbing us of our celestial heritage, and poor Cancer is one of the victims. Because it contains no star brighter than 4th magnitude, the Crab is difficult, if not impossible to see under a light-polluted sky.

My two cents are: "Song Commemorating Spaceflight Brought Buzz Aldrin to Tears" Former astronaut Buzz Aldrin received an e-mail Saturday after the shuttle Columbia tragedy. While reading its contents on NBC television, Aldrin began to cry and could not go on. The poem is actually a song called "Fire in the Sky," by Jordin Kare. And it goes like this:
Glint

"Fire in the Sky" Prometheus, they say, brought God's fire down to man. And we've caught it, tamed it, trained it since our history began. Now we're going back to heaven just to look him in the eye, and there's a thunder 'cross the land, and a fire in the sky. Gagarin was the first, back in nineteen sixty-one, When like Icarus, undaunted, he climbed to reach the sun. And he knew he might not make it, for it's never hard to die. But he lifted off the pad and rode a fire in the sky. Yet a higher goal was calling, and we vowed we'd reach it soon. And we gave ourselves a decade to put fire on the moon. And Apollo told the world, we can do it if we try: And there was one small step, and a fire in the sky. Bridge: I dreamed last night of a little boy's first spaceflight, Turned into me, watching a black and white TV. There was a fire in the sky, I'll remember until I die. A fire in the sky...a fire in the sky! Then two decades from Gagarin, twenty years to the day. Came a shuttle named Columbia, to open up the way. And they said she's just a truck, but she's a truck that's aiming high. See her big jets burning, see her fire in the sky. Yet the Gods do not give lightly of the powers they have made. And with Challenger and seven, once again the price is paid. Though a nation watched her falling, yet a world could only cry. As they passed from us to glory, riding fire in the sky. Now, the rest is up to us, and there's a future to be won. We must turn our faces outward, we will do what must be done. For no cradle lasts forever, every bird must learn to fly --- And we're going to the stars, see our fire in the sky. Yes, we're going to the stars, see our fire in the sky! There's a fire in the sky, I'll remember until I die. A fire in the sky, a fire in the sky!

"NASA: How to Claim Damages from Columbia Debris" Any individual suffering from an injury or damaged property caused by debris from the Space Shuttle Columbia can seek compensation from NASA. While there have been no reports of injuries caused by the Columbia crash, there has been some related damage. According to news reports, a metal bracket slammed through the roof of a Nacogdoches, Texas dentist's office while a half-mooned shape piece measuring five feet wide crashed into a residential lawn. A hunk of debris also landed in the middle of the highway U.S. 79 near Palestine, Texas, and what is thought to be duct piping dented the roof of Rice High School in Navarro County, wire reports said.

My two cents are: Ironically, NASA should be downsized � or, better, completely privatized. NASA, despite the dedication and heroic efforts of thousands of its workers and astronauts, is a socialist institution. The wonder is that the Clintons did not love it more. By its very nature, NASA monopolization of space for government is a violation of the deepest pioneering, free enterprise values of America. What sane person wants to see the Moon, Mars � indeed the whole human future as we migrate into outer space � undertaken on NASA�s socialist model?

My two cents are: Looks like the link to a particularly level-headed analysis, "Clinton and NASA's fall." But when you think about it, it has to be true... The only way to keep the space shuttle alive is to give it a real mission, and the only real mission it can have is to surve the space station. So you're dammed if you do and dammed if you don't. Still, Clinton greased those astronauts with no more emotion than he spent on killy Willy's cat. Thank god he keeps it corked and doesn't show up with a sack of dysfunction on his back.

How right they are and this piece takes it a step further, suggesting that Clinton's gutting of funds to the space program is equally to blame. Looking forward to more of this kind of analysis to come.

My two cents are: Tang was introduced by The General Foods Corp. in 1957. In 1965, Tang breakfast drink mix is introduced on a national level by General Foods, and was being used in NASA space and moon missions. Tang became marketed as the choice of astronauts, which caused uproar among the public. They too wanted to try space food, so General Foods launched an advertising campaign that ensured Tang would become synonymous with space travel. The space-crazed public found Tang new and exciting even though it had actually been on supermarket shelves since 1959.

My two cents are: Too bad Tom Arnold, tied up at the Super Bowl, couldn't be at the World Economic Forum, but fear not, there was a small showbiz contingent, starring nongovernmental organization activists Julia Ormond and Ron Silver, at the Davos, Switzerland, meetings. Among the local movers and shakers on the scene were Google founder Sergey Brin and Rick Aubry of Rubicon Programs Inc., a pioneering organization in social entrepreneurship (the creation of business ventures such asthe Rubicon Bakery in the East Bay that support programs for the disadvantaged). As to the advantaged, which included most of the Davos crowd, a TIC spy who was there sends a report on Bill Clinton's "main event, the most desired unofficial ticket in town," the former president's Super Bowl party for 75 guests. In terms of Davos excitement, the Clinton fete trumped speeches by Colin Powell and the king of Jordan, and rivaled the "absolutely stunning" speech of new Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (which raised hopes "in the progressive world that he's going to be the next Nelson Mandela, " said the spy). Clinton hosted the party with his daughter, Chelsea, and the guest list included Silver, Ormond, editor Lewis Lapham, Charlie Rose and Ralph Reed of the Christian Coalition. "I was standing next to Ralph watching the game," said the spy, "when Bill worked his way over to that side of the room." Reed said, " 'Thank you, Mr. President, I was surprised to get your invitation.' " And Clinton responded, " 'Ralph, the Super Bowl is the ultimate bipartisan event.' . . . It was the ultimate strange bedfellow event." The menu included chicken, shrimp and peanuts, and game-appropriate chips and dips. The spy says he overheard Clinton, "still the world's greatest celebrity and the smartest guy and best communicator in any room that he's in, " tell Reed that he was rooting for the Raiders, because "they've got those over-40-year-old guys who are still really good."

Enjoyed the image of the Maksutov. True story, I almost bought one at the Mall of America a few years ago. Was impressed at finding a science store where the sales droid actually understood the product. Spent about two hours with him while the family shopped. We lined up several scopes in the corridor and compared. When the wife came back and I showed her she said "go for it." I had one last surge of sanity and asked myself what I would do with an 8th telescope. (Actually I think she was using reverse psychology when she gave the nod.) <> I had a pair of Nikon binoculars walk off. Later figured out it was probably the furnace people. They were hanging from a nail behind the furnace. I never used them because they were junk. Prisms were undersized, cheap bastards. If you'd point them at a blue sky you'd see a bright blue center and a dark blue torus arond the outer 1/3. Piece of Nikon crap. - Monday, February 03, 2003 at 10:03:13 (EST)

It's been a long wait, and wonder in aliceland walked into a buzz-saw. Pete is a good grammar beadle, and stands ready to explain to all comers, in his usual garbled manner, the difference between than and then. As a a bonus, he will be happy to confuse himself about where somebody thinks a comma should go when it's near a quotation mark (or a quote, as it is known to initiates), and then (or than?) explain whatever bubbles up out of the thin soup of his frontal lobe.

My two cents are: Bush Budget Sees Deficit, Military Boost Sat Feb 1, 2:49 PM ET Add Top Stories - AP to My Yahoo! By ALAN FRAM, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) will send Congress a $2.2 trillion budget for 2004 that projects record federal deficits and proposes a long-range plan to push military spending beyond $500 billion, officials say. AP Photo Bush's fiscal blueprint will estimate this year's deficit at $307 billion, with the 2004 shortfall dipping only to $304 billion, said congressional and administration officials speaking on condition of anonymity. Until now, the historic high was $290 billion in 1992, when Bush's father was president. After four straight annual surpluses under President Clinton (news - web sites), the revived red ink is already adding friction to this year's budget battle. Democrats blame Bush-backed tax cuts and say war with Iraq and other problems could drive actual shortfalls even higher; White House officials and congressional Republicans play down the numbers and say the weak economy and fight against terror must be confronted first. "They're underestimating the seriousness of it," said Sen. Kent Conrad (news, bio, voting record) of North Dakota, senior Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee. Conrad argued that deficits will be mounting just as the government should be shoring up Social Security (news - web sites) and Medicare for the retirement of baby boomers beginning in a few years. Without revealing the precise numbers before, administration officials have said for weeks that deficits of this size are manageable because the U.S. economy will surpass $10.5 trillion this year. "The way to get rid of deficits is to grow the economy and reduce spending, and that's what we intend to do," said Trent Duffy, spokesman for the White House budget office. According to administration figures, the projected shortfalls would equal 2.8 percent of the economy this year and 2.7 percent in 2004. When deficits peaked in the 1980s and 1990s, they were as much as 6 percent the size of the economy. On Wednesday, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (news - web sites) projected deficits of $199 billion this year and $145 billion in 2004 � excluding any new tax or spending initiatives that might be enacted into law. Meanwhile, Bush will propose a 4.4 percent increase, or $16.9 billion, in overall defense spending next year to $399.1 billion, even without any war with Iraq, according to figures obtained by The Associated Press. The Defense Department would get $379.9 of that amount, compared with $364.6 billion in this year's budget. The rest of the money is for the Energy Department nuclear weapons program and defense programs in other agencies. The proposal would increase money for missile defense and pay for seven new ships, compared with five this year. The higher costs also include pay increases ranging from 2 percent to 6.25 percent for military personnel. Increases include: _The military pay raises, which would cost an additional $3.7 billion. _Inflation in areas other than pay, which would cost $4.3 billion. _Spending for shipbuilding would increase by $2.7 billion, to $12.2 billion. _Missile defense would increase by $1.5 billion to $9.1 billion. _Spending for special operations forces would increase to $4.5 billion, from $3 billion. The Pentagon (news - web sites) says it would save $7.1 billion through a variety of programs to include early retirement of aircraft and ships, reducing Navy personnel and ending upgrades of some weapons systems. Bush's budget will also propose more money for the Treasury Department (news - web sites) to help the government sever terrorists from their sources of financing and to combat money laundering. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, which plays a key role in trying to nab terrorist financiers and money launderers, would receive $57.6 million in fiscal year 2004, a 14 percent increase from a requested $50.5 million for the 2003 budget year, which began Oct. 1. Bush, who will also renew his proposal to open mineral drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, will project $2.4 billion in oil lease sales there by 2005, said Rebecca Watson.

My two cents are: UNITED NATIONS�Responding to pressure from the international community, Bush ordered to the U.N. to order enigmatic candy maker William "Willy" Wonka to submit to chocolate-factory inspections Monday. // Above: The enigmatic, elusive despot. // "For years, Wonka has hidden the ominous doings of his research and development facility from the outside world," U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan said. "Given the reports of child disappearances, technological advances in glass-elevator transport, and Wonka-run Oompa-Loompa forced-labor camps, the time has come to put an end to three decades of secrecy in the Wonka Empire." The chocolate-making capabilities of Wonka's heavily fortified compound have long been a source of speculation. Wonka, defying international calls for full disclosure, has maintained his silence regarding his factory's suspected capacity to manufacture confections of mass deliciousness. Secretary of State Colin Powell praised the U.N. announcement. "No more will this sinister figure be free to pursue his nefarious endeavors without fear of reprisal, protected by loopholes in international candy-making law," Powell said. "With this ruling, the U.N. has issued the global community a 'golden ticket' to draw back the curtain behind which this mysterious confectioner hides." // Above: U.N. inspectors arrive at the gates of the Wonka compound. // According to CIA psychological profilers, Wonka has retreated from the outside world entirely, withdrawing into "a world of pure imagination." An anonymous tinker stationed near the infamous, long-locked Wonka factory gate corroborated the claim, saying, "Nobody ever goes in, nobody ever comes out." Rival candy makers, long worried that Wonka's advanced capabilities have created an imbalance of power within the volatile global chocolate marketplace, also applauded the U.N. move. "Wonka exerts a powerful psychological grip over the world's children," said Arthur Slugworth, president of Slugworth Confections. "They are devoted to him with a loyalty that borders on the fanatical, eagerly lapping up Scrumdiddlyumptious Bars by the millions at his command. But when we found evidence that Wonka was developing so-called 'everlasting gobstopper' technology�'the mother of all gobstoppers'�we knew it was time to act." To date, all efforts to peer inside the Wonka inner sanctum have met with failure. Armies of legal experts retained by Wonka have kept visitors to his chocolate-making facilities effectively gagged with elaborate non-disclosure agreements. His in-house staff of high-contrast Technicolor dwarves carefully monitors what information flows in or out of the heavily guarded compound. And the few scraps of information that have come to light�vague reports of terrifying river-barge rides, razor-sharp ceiling fans, and human-sized pneumatic tubes of indeterminate purpose�have been obscured by layers of darkly comic, psychedelic symbolism, making them virtually impossible to interpret. "Wonka has shown himself to be a man who cannot be trusted," Annan said. "Whether misrepresenting himself as a limping cripple, only to drop at the last moment into an agile somersault, or exploiting the deepest and most personal character flaws of misbehaving children, Wonka has been a man of shifty, undetermined motives and baffling ends. He must be stopped." Above: A CIA surveillance image of suspicious activity within the Wonka compound. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, a longtime advocate of regime change in the Wonka Empire, is urging President Bush to consider military intervention should Wonka refuse to cooperate. "The world can no longer turn a blind eye to Wonka's deception and misdirection," Rumsfeld said. "Without full inspections, there's no earthly way of knowing which direction Wonka's going. Not a speck of light is showing, so the danger must be growing. And he's certainly not showing any signs that he is slowing. Are the fires of Hell a-glowing? Is the grisly reaper mowing? Who can provide the world with the answer to these pressing questions?" "The candy man can," Rumsfeld added grimly. Bush said he is leaning toward the use of force, undeterred by the prospect of the candy maker using his rumored "Wonkavision" technology to turn would-be attackers into millions of tiny pieces, beaming them through the air and shrinking them to tiny, dollhouse-accessory size. "We are talking about a man who is able to take a rainbow and cover it with dew," Bush told reporters during a press conference Monday. "Who knows what else he is capable of? Left to his own devices, he could, in a worst-case scenario, make the world taste very bad, indeed."

She comes out and said that the guy is a chucklehead, a simple-minded little doofus. We conservatives like our presidents to be simple-minded doofuses. We want complicated personalities in our TV shows and actors and opera singers, but a president should be a doofus. Bush is afraid of his daughters, which is "in line with Mr. Bush's long years of heavy drinking, and the damage that can occur in families with an alcoholic in charge." Nixon was always falling in love with people but Bush doesn't give a shit. "Mr. Bush doesn't bring his dramas and mess with him. He doesn't bring a sack of dysfunction on his back when he enters a room." He's all fucked up but he keeps it corked. That's why we love the bandy-legged little fuckup.

My two cents are: BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Immediate popular reaction in Baghdad on Saturday to the loss of the U.S. space shuttle Columbia and its seven-member crew -- including the first Israeli in space -- was that it was God's retribution. "We are happy that it broke up," government employee Abdul Jabbar al-Quraishi said. "God wants to show that his might is greater than the Americans. They have encroached on our country. God is avenging us," he said. Iraqis are braced for a possible U.S.-led war to rid their country of any chemical, biological or nuclear weapons it may possess. Iraq denies it has such weapons.

It isn't complicated. Monday, January 6, 2003 12:01 a.m. EST I thought I'd start the year with some thoughts on George W. Bush, for he soon reaches his two-year mark as president, and we have learned some things about him. Some people I love, mostly Democrats but some Republicans, have taken to asking: Why do people like Bush? They know the obvious reasons--9/11, an administration suddenly given serious purpose, a president who seemed to wobble a bit like everyone else the first hours and quickly collected himself like most everyone else. The whole world was watching, and America was watching with keen concentration, when he did his best work: his visit to ground zero and "I can hear you; the world hears you"; his Oval Office interview a few days after the attack when he said, "I am a loving man, but I have a job to do"; his speech to Congress in which he described the nature of the menace we face and spoke of American resolve; his spectacular live question-and-answer session with children when Vladimir Putin was meeting with him in Texas, in which both took questions from kids and Mr. Bush's humanity shined through; and a host of other public moments. The boy done good. But there are intangibles that I suspect are part of the story. Everyone seems to know he's a religious man, and the people of this religious country approve and relate. Everyone can see he's close to his family, and people like that too; it's what they all hope they have or could have, though many do not. But a close family is the American ideal, and people unconsciously feel greater respect for those lucky enough, blessed enough, to have it. Mr. Bush also seems slightly afraid of his children. I don't know why exactly I say that; I've never seen them together in person and can't back it up, and yet I sense it's true. One feels the presence of love, perplexity, guilt and hope there, and the slight detachment those heavy emotions can bring. If I'm right this would be in line with Mr. Bush's long years of heavy drinking, and the damage that can occur in families with an alcoholic in charge. I have a hunch the American people sense what I sense, and that it may bond them closer to Mr. Bush, too. We all have our troubles; we've all messed up; we're all trying; and a lot of us, maybe most of us, have effortful relationships with our kids. I guess I'm saying the American people sense Mr. Bush's humanity. But what they don't get to sense--and I think this is a major though not consciously thought out part of Mr. Bush's popularity--is his mess. Mr. Bush doesn't bring his dramas and mess with him. He doesn't bring a sack of dysfunction on his back when he enters a room. He keeps his woes, his emotions, his private life to himself. An example of what I'm getting at. He recently fired his Treasury secretary and his chief economic adviser. He wasn't happy with them; he wanted someone else; they didn't leave; he fired them. Boom. Next. If he feels personal bitterness, anger, or arrogance toward them, we don't know. This is wonderful. If it had been LBJ or Richard Nixon firing Paul O'Neill, we'd all still be talking about the personal elements in the marriage gone bad. Or we'd be talking about whether "the boss is in love" with someone else, as Nixon's old hands used to say when Nixon became enthralled with the thinking of someone. Sometimes he fell in love with this intellectual, sometimes he soured on that adviser. He fell in love with Pat Moynihan, and John Connally. And then the love died. It was a regular "Peyton Place" in that White House. And Bill Clinton's White House was, it hardly needs be said, another hothouse, though of a different kind. But with Mr. Bush things aren't a big emotional drama. He seems stable. This is a relief. You get the impression he's like what he of course was, a businessman. When things work, good; when they don't, change. It's not personal. It doesn't have to be messy. It's not Shakespearean. Which is good. The world is quite dramatic enough. It's good especially at this time to be led not by the emotionally labile but the grounded and sturdy. They can see Mr. Bush is grounded. They're glad. I have a theory that liberals and leftists prefer their leaders complicated, and conservatives prefer their leaders uncomplicated. I think the left expects a good leader to have an exotic or intricate personality or character. (A whole generation of liberal journalists grew up reading Jack Newfield and Pete Hamill on Bobby Kennedy's sense of tragedy, Murray Kempton on the bizarreness that was LBJ, and a host of books with names like "Nixon Agonistes" and "RFK at Forty," and went into journalism waiting for the complicated politicians of their era to emerge. They are, that is, pro-complication because their ambition to do great work like the great journalists of the 1960s seems to demand the presence of complicated political figures.) Liberals like their leaders interesting. I always think this may be because some of them have not been able to fully engage the idea of a God, and tend to fill that hole in themselves with politics and its concerns. If the world of government and politics becomes your god, and yields a supergod called a president, you want that god to be interesting. Conservatives, on the other hand, don't look for god in government, for part of being a conservative is holding the conviction that there is no god in government. They like complicated personalities in their TV shows and from actors and opera singers, but they want steadiness and a vision they can agree with from their presidents. Actually I think conservatives want their presidents the way they want their art: somewhere in the normal range. They don't like cow's heads suspended in formaldehyde and don't understand that as high art; by 1998 they thought Bill Clinton was the political version of a cow's head in formaldehyde, and they didn't like that either. And so my liberal friends say: Why do people like Mr. Bush? And they want an interesting answer. But I do think part of the answer is: Because he's not complicated and perhaps not even especially interesting as a person. We just love that. - Sunday, February 02, 2003 at 15:48:55 (EST)

My two cents are:

Democrats January 29, 2003 SEN. JOHN KERRY, D-Mass., was looking a little glum Tuesday night. Last week Kerry gave a speech saying: "Mr. President, do not rush to war!" Rush to war? We've been talking about this war for a year. It's been three months since Kerry duly recorded his vote in favor of forcibly removing Saddam Hussein. In 1991, Kerry voted against the Gulf War, saying the country was "not yet ready for what it will witness and bear if we go to war." Having been taunted for that vote and that prediction ever since, this time Kerry made sure to vote in favor of war with Iraq. This will allow The New York Times to describe him as a "moderate Democrat" forevermore. Indeed, a surprisingly large number of Democrats voted for the war resolution last October. But as soon as the November elections were over, Democrats like Kerry began aggressively attacking the very war they had just voted for. These Democrats want to have it both ways. If the war goes well -- a lot of them voted for war with Iraq, didn't they? But if the war does not go well, many of the very Democrats who voted for the war resolution will have emerged as leading spokesmen for the anti-war position. A vote for the war, surrounded by Neville Chamberlain foot-dragging, is a fraud. The Neville Chamberlain Democrats are now claiming they didn't realize what they were voting for. John Kerry says he thought a resolution authorizing the president to use force against Iraq meant that the United Nations would have to approve. Dianne Feinstein said she voted for the resolution assuming it meant we would invade only if "our allies" approved. Joe Biden made the terrific argument that if we don't wait for U.N. approval, it would "make a mockery of the efficacy of the U.N." The Democrats appear to be the only people who still believe in the "efficacy of the U.N." In any event, I believe the United Nations should be more worried about that eventuality than we should. Kerry claims he is still foursquare behind disarming Saddam Hussein, but not "until we have exhausted the remedies available, built legitimacy and earned the consent of the American people, absent, of course, an imminent threat requiring urgent action." As George Bush pointed out in his State of the Union address, dictators are not in the habit of "politely putting us on notice before they strike." By the time a threat is "imminent," Chicago will be gone. That's the short version. The long version of Kerry's position is this: "(I)f you have a breach that, by everybody's standard, at least in the United States, those of us in the House and Senate, and the president, join together and make a judgment, this is indeed a material breach, and then others -- some of them can't be persuaded -- if we have evidence, sufficient to show the materiality of the breach, we should be able to do what Adlai Stevenson did on behalf of the administration, Kennedy administration, and sit in front of the Security Council and say, 'Here is the evidence. It's time for all of you to put up. We need to all do this together.' And that's what I think the resolution that was passed suggests." There's a rallying cry to unite the Democrats! If there has been a material breach "by everybody's standard," then and only then, we can boldly ... go to the United Nations! This is the fundamental problem of the anti-war movement. They can't bring themselves to say it's a mistake to depose Saddam Hussein, and "don't hurry" is not really a call to arms. But why not hurry? Democrats claim they haven't seen proof yet that Saddam is a direct threat to the United States. For laughs, let's suppose they're right. In the naysayers' worst-case scenario, the United States would be acting precipitously to remove a ruthless dictator who tortures his own people. As Bush said, after detailing some of Saddam Hussein's charming practices: "If this is not evil, then evil has no meaning." It's not as if anyone is worried that we're making a horrible miscalculation and could be removing the Iraqi Abraham Lincoln by mistake. Either we're removing a dictator who currently has plans to fund terrorism against American citizens or -- if Bush is completely wrong and Eleanor Clift is completely right -- we're just removing a dictator who plans to terrorize a lot of people in the region, but not Americans specifically. Even for someone like me, who doesn't want America to be the world's policeman, the risk of precipitous action against Saddam Hussein doesn't keep me up at night. The Democrats' jejune claim that Saddam Hussein is not a threat to our security presupposes they would care if he were. Who are they kidding? Democrats adore threats to the United States. Bush got a raucous standing ovation at his State of the Union address when he announced that "this year, for the first time, we are beginning to field a defense to protect this nation against ballistic missiles." The excitement was noticeably muted on the Democrats' side of the aisle. The vast majority of Democrats remained firmly in their seats, sullen at the thought that America would be protected from incoming ballistic missiles. To paraphrase George Bush: If this is not treason, then treason has no meaning. - Sunday, February 02, 2003 at 14:58:44 (EST)

My two cents are: OK, for the infant's first true effort at education, as opposed to being forced to watch feelthy fornigate passages, below is a shot of my telescope. And, yes, Glint is right, the road vibration on my deck does not help to set it up. I still haven't been able to get a solid locale for my base/tripod to be able to use the auto find. Anyway, to refresh the memories of those who were not paying attention before, my house was on the market for sale. I had two months of open hosues. My telescope and eyepieces were one of the few things in view in my very sparsely furnished living room. So, some one with an eye to the sky, plucked up my 6mm Meade eyepiece that I had to special order. One of those situations where he won't know its missing until its too late and the perp is long gone. Perhaps my brother in law who is known to do these things. I hope this educates those who need to know. As for the liebrals, go ahead and have at distorting, lying and dodging about these truths. Doink.

My two cents are: A very great man once said that some people rob you with a telephone. Call you up and guess at the focal length of every optical device you've got in your bag. A man can't be too wiley in this rotten capitalistic hell we call America.

My two cents are: Sounds like another way the unscrupulous f*cking capitalist telescope makers can short-stake good Republicans is by selling shitty mounts for the scope itself, so it wiggles in the trade winds. I'd like to see some thieving b*stard astronomy buff try to walk off with Pete's most expensive tripod! At least there's one area where we won't have to dream up Rumpelstiltzkin riddles to stump the lying *ssh*les who call up and guess wild-ass about everything we've managed to accumulate and try to steal it from us.

My two cents are: You don't use ones which they include with the instrument. They're junk, you toss them. It's one of the easiest areas for the telescope maker to reduce costs and undercut the competition. Then the competition turns around with an even shorter stake - er, cheaper eyepiece. The other way they sometimes cheat is in the mounting. Cheap and wiggly. The one Pete got has a solid forking mount.

My two cents are: Pete has undoubtedly trundled the old SI telescope down to many a private and public star party. I can't imagine him not lumbering up to the suggested local clubs looking for someone to tell him how to solve the problem of the trade winds. You can tell by the hungry way Pete demands stargazing info from Glint that he would get up off his couch and drive three blocks down to hob-nob with the local experts as well.

My two cents are: I'm guessing that Glint isn't telling the whole story about trying to give the mystery eyepiece to his "friend" in San Diego. I'm guessing that he quizzed the cheating bastard pretty exhaustively before determining whether he should hand over custody. I'm guessing that the friend raked through his bag and found that a K�nig was missing, but then missed the focal length by a couple of millimeters. In the astronomy game, a miss is as good as a mile, Diego Dudly. Go buy a K�nig and keep the pink slip this time.

My two cents are: Might be a public star party. Might have been a private star party, like at one of the local clubs I suggested Pete visit. Or maybe just some people hanging out. Hard to imaging that unwashed people hanging out would pilfer a hefty piece of glass, especially if they don't have a scope. But then again who can figure the criminal mind. Maybe they took the occular thinking they'd get another opportunity for the objective end of the instrument later. I would be suprised, and yes *shockd*, if an astronomy club member would purposely swipe someone else's optics. Never seen it happen. At public events I usually pop in a 30-year-old $15 Edmunds eyepiece.

My two cents are: All too true. But the question remains: why did Pete lie about having a most expensive eyepiece? Shouldn't he try to figure out how to use the ones that came in the box before he runs out and buys new ones? Or maybe that's it... maybe he figured that the reason he couldn't see anything was that the stock eyepiece wasn't expensive enough. Or maybe he just said to himself, OK, I have a telescope, now what? What would Glint do? Claro! Go out and buy some eyepieces, and maybe a video camera.

My two cents are: Why didn't I think of asking Pete whether his most expensive eyepiece disappeared at home or in public! That way we might have been able to dispense with the Penthouse Pets and Fess Parker as suspects, if we had learned that it was at one of the many public stargazing events where the pineapple needs to tote his eyepiece bag. So which was it, Pete? At a star fiesta in the good-seeing air of the islands, or what would be good seeing if the trade winds didn't play hob with your focus? Or was it at home, just a few friends standing around jawboning over highballs, witnessing the Sharper Image scope as an objet d'art or conversation-piece rather than something one might actually look through? Or was it in the not-quite-home, quasi public space that is Dunster House to an alum? Glint can't help you on this one if you don't spill the basic info.

My two cents are: It gratifies me to know that Glimp set up the obstacle quiz to weed out those assholes who are always ready to leap in and claim that a lost eyepiece that turns up in a guy's astronomy bag is theirs. A lot of hayseeds would have just walked into that slack-jawed and gaping and given it to the first bastard who jumped in with a wild-ass guess at the focal length. What surprises me is that he didn't set up the Test of the Mystery Eyepiece for his self-styled "friend" in San Diego, a guy who has slipped so low that he can't even think fast enough to grab the fruit when it hangs low. The great thing is, by weeding out all those evil shits Glint got to keep the eyepiece for himself! Finders keepers losers weepers, man. Astronomy, it's a tough town. A real rough and tumble burg, where you hang on with both fists and your teeth or you get screwed good.

If you're talking "major" planets there are still just 9. However, Several planets have Moons larger than Pluto. Clinton planet is triple X.

My two cents are: 10-4 regarding Jupiter & Saturn. Absolutely beautiful. I suppose the seeing (steadiness of hte air for the lay person) is good on the islands. This week is the Winter Star Party in Key West. Even though the elevation is sea level about 14,000' below (and about 5,000 miles E of) Mauna Kea the seeing is said to be rock steady. This summer Mars should be splendid - even better than two years ago when it reached an angular diameter of a whopping 20.8 arcseconds. This year it reaches 25.1 arcseconds on August 27. A rare conjunction of opposition and perihelion for the planet. Something like once every 3,000 years or some rubbish.

My two cents are: You know something, Pete? Sometimes eyepieces just sort of shuffle around from one guy's eyepiece bag to another. In fact, I found an eyepiece in my bag that's not mine. Couldn't be yours though because it happened a couple Christmases ago. Wife got me one of those aluminum carrying case things. So I emptied out the cheap cookie tins and shoeboxes full of eyepieces and came across one I had no recollection of ever buying or swapping for. Figured that while cleaning up in the dark at some star party someone stuffed it in the wrong bag. First thing I did was called a friend in San Diego to see if it was his. He's the only person I knew that used the König style. But he raked throuh his bag and said his Königs were were safe and snug. I advertised it in the local astronomy newsletter. Said if anyone could identify it by design and focal length they could have it. Oh sure, lots of people tried. Wild ass guesses they were, but nobody hit it. So, after a year I decided to keep it. Gives a great view of the sun at f/6 with the observatory telescope. Did your eyepiece disappear at home or in public?

No, I believe that whoever walked off with his most expensive eyepiece did so from his viewing area. I think this was an inside job.

My two cents are: My guess is that the eyepiece wasn't stolen. I think he just lent his most expensive one to a fellow-astronomer, and can't remember which one it was. A guy like Pete, with so many eyepieces, probably lends out a lot of them. I just can't believe that one of the ex-Pentouse Pets stole the eyepiece. And I doubly can't believe that Fess Parker took it. Fess probably has plenty of eyepieces of his own, some of them more expensive than Pete's.

- Saturday, February 01, 2003 at 21:41:48 (EST)
My two cents are: Surely. I assume that by now Pete must have quite a collection of eyepieces, some of them more expensive than others. Among amateur astronomers, walking off with expensive eyepieces is quite common. I only yearn for the day when Pete figures out how to set up his expensive telescope so that he can look at something through his various eyepieces.

My two cents are: In fact, that's why it is impossible for a guy like Pete to learn new languages. You have to submit yourself to the new psychomotor events, the way a child listens and talks and learns on his blank slate. A guy like Pete is always wondering what he looks like to whatever demons judge him, so he ends up translating back and forth from the only language he'll ever be fairly comfortable in. This is not to say that there is no place for translating, just that if that's all you do you'll learn very slowly. For ten days, there isn't that much reason to learn the language, but what the hell, it's as good as doing anything else, and it does limber up the brain.

My two cents are: Doesn't have to be Berlitz. The way to judge is, if the teacher talks a lot, get out. You should be talking more than the teacher. A little English is probably OK, since they don't want to scare off clients, but they should make you do most of the uttering. It's also best if there's nothing written down, at least for the first two weeks. Otherwise, you could end up like poor Pete here, writing down a few words on a web site in an attempt to impress people who don't care whether you live or die, much less if you know anything. The point is communicating, not impressing people.

My two cents are: Good on the dope. This character has the jones bad. He comes to my cube, but communication is difficult since every time I start to utter words remotely connected to the subject he looks around in panic and shushes me. No wonder he doesn't have connections, the poor bastard is afraid to ask. We went into the head shop around the corner here and I was kidding with the Punjabi owner, and after we came out he upbraided me for speaking loosely. Said the guy who owned the head shop, which was filled up with three or four thousand marijuana delivery devices, could have been a narc. What especially upset him was that when the Punjabi told me I might want a pack of little brass screens to go in my new bong I asked him to explain why, with reference to the material that might be burned.

My two cents are: As an old TEFL teacher, I can report that second-language learning is a psycomotor activity. You have to repeat repeat repeat, you have to say it. It's the only way. Like learning to play the piano, or to bat or maybe play golf if you're not a natural. Do it over and over again. That's why Pete could never learn Swahili. Nobody could stand him long enough to give him the practice.

What I did, I bought the Foreign Service Institute (bunch of commies) tapes for $55 from Amazon/Barron's. Bought a Walkman tape player/radio for $29 bucks. Can play through the speakers left over from superannuated computers or through the headphones provided. Best radio I got, except all it plays is woeful moaning about the dead spacemen. That FSI really knows how to teach languages. You could become fairly fluent if you applied yourself through them, or at least could get the sounds down. I've had them for two days and am already dreaming in the foreign patois. Of course, I'll wait until Glint explains this all before I make any definitive recommendations.

Isn't it interesting that someone like Glint, who a couple years ago was seeing jackbooted thugs in some cops ending the Cuban boy's kidnapping and in our government returning him to his father, now relaxes as real hard-asses take away his real natural rights as bequeathed by the liberals who founded this country? Sure, Glint and Pete don't constitute a microcosm, but they are people who grew up when America was being watered down into the Reagan television-watching soup and they are extremes of a class of civic zombies. Maybe it's always this bad, and I'm just unduly aware of the dynamic duo, the goofiest edge of the great unwashed populace that abides as the core of America.

My two cents are: Another aspect of this is this deal with the space-ship going haywire. I turned on my NPR to hear the liberals farting and moaning this morning, and it appears we're in some sort of state of ersatz "national mourning." It's bad that an accident happened, and sad for people directly involved, like Glint, but what the fuck, van-loads of goobers go over the high side every day and life goes on. Do people really work themselves up over a crash like that, or is the "national mourning" something decreed by CNN, Fox, and the big-league networks? It's sort of like We've All Been Shot. Where I am, nobody wept and wailed when the trade towers fell down, yet I was told we had all changed forever. Seems to me that the only thing that changed was the ghouls came out of the basement and started fucking over the Constitution.

Probably don't work the other way, though. In other business, I call the car insurance company to ask about insurance on my vacation home because the old company jacked it up $259 this year. Sam looks it up and says nobody will insure, it's too far out in the woods (he asks if there's a fire hydrant within a thousand feet), so I better pay the $250. So since he's on the line I ask for a price on this place, and it's about $200 cheaper than my current, plus I get $450 off my car insurance. Good deal! In yet another area, my phytoplanktonologist moved out on his girlfriend and was able to smoke dope, so he smoked it all up and is asking me if I know where he can get more.
