Make sure you listen to this Bill O'Reilly clip on Media Matters

Joel and Lauren's mics have been cut for three minutes. They will be back on at 11:17. Someone just sent this picture, claiming it is Joel. This is not, I repeat not, funny.

I do guess I am being unfair. John is merely going to ignore his wife's cancer and use his time in pursuit of the presidency.

Newt served his first wife with divorce papers while she was undergoing treatment for cancer. But they are both warm hearted fellows.

Blitzer allowed DeLay to attack Clinton's "character"

http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230009

On the March 22 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer allowed former House majority leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) to assert that former President Bill Clinton "is character-challenged" because "[a]nybody that cheats at golf -- it tells you a lot about his character." Blitzer did not note that DeLay is himself currently under indictment in Texas on money laundering and conspiracy charges relating to a campaign finance probe and that two of DeLay's former staffers, press secretary Michael Scanlon and chief of staff Tony C. Rudy, have pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges involving disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Dead Cow Farm

An ancient saga tells us how
In the beginning the First Cow

But Elemental Cow on earth)
Began to lick cold stones and mud:
Under her warm tongue flesh and

Blossomed, a miracle to believe:
And so was Adam born, and Eve.

Here now is chaos once again,
Primeval mud, cold stones and rain.
Here flesh decays and blood drips

And the Cow’s dead, the old Cow’s

Back to Story - Help
Marine unit ordered out of Afghanistan By ROBERT BURNS, AP Military Writer
Fri Mar 23, 9:25 PM ET



Marines accused of shooting and killing civilians after a suicide bombing in Afghanistan are under U.S. investigation, and their entire unit has been ordered to leave the country, officials said Friday.

Army Maj. Gen. Francis H. Kearney III, head of Special Operations Command Central, ordered the unit of about 120 Marines out of Afghanistan and initiated an investigation into the March 4 incident, said Lt. Col. Lou Leto, spokesman at Kearney's command headquarters in Tampa, Fla.

It is highly unusual for any combat unit, either special operations or conventional, to have its mission cut short.

A spokesman for the Marine unit, Maj. Cliff Gilmore, said it is in the process of leaving Afghanistan, but he declined to provide details on the timing and new location, citing a need for security.

In the March 4 incident in Nangahar province, an explosives-rigged minivan crashed into a convoy of Marines that U.S. officials said also came under fire from gunmen. As many as 10 Afghans were killed and 34 wounded as the convoy made an escape. Injured Afghans said the Americans fired on civilian cars and pedestrians as they sped away.

U.S. military officials said militant gunmen shot at Marines and may have caused some of the civilian casualties.

President Hamid Karzai condemned the incident, which was one among several involving U.S. forces in which civilians were killed and injured.

Leto, the spokesman at Special Operations Command Central headquarters, said the Marines, after being ambushed, responded in a way that created "perceptions (that) have really damaged the relationship between the local population and this unit."

Therefore, he said, "the general felt it was best to move them out of that area."

The Yoonitary Executive
If ever there were a spectacular example of how the logic of authoritarianism inexorably creeps from A to D and ultimately Z, John Yoo is it.


Mr. Yoo, the torture-adoring, Geneva Convention-denying, law professor servant of "unitary executive" power has put his mind to work on the U.S. Attorney scandal and finds it all a mere "hubbub": Wouldn't things be simpler if we just extended the president's virtually unfettered war-making and foreign-policy powers to the domestic realm as well?


Spectacularly simplistic and simple-minded also come to mind. But, for the right, simple is good. Simple is understandable. Simple sells. The Wall Street Journal is always a willing vendor, and Thursday it published Mr. Yoo's simplistic and simple-minded "think-piece" that is, simply, a bunch of hooey.


First, according to Mr. Yoo, the scandal is just politics -- neglecting that more than a handful of Congressional Republicans are less than amused. But what the hell. That sort of complication only complicates; better to sweep it under the rug so we can keep arguments tidy -- and simple.


And how reassuring it is to simply snicker about those notoriously political Democrats simply wanting to watch "Karl Rove squirm before a congressional committee" while "placing bets on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's tenure in office," all of which "is great political sport."


Well, frankly, yes it is, Mr. Yoo. But so was Watergate, which also happened to double as something of a real problem.


But then, Mr. Yoo gets serious. He furrows his brow in preparation for making us wake up and realize that "much more than partisan circuses is at stake."

Air America streaming links updated

Okay, here's the scenario.

You've been trying to tune in Air America Radio in the past several weeks but been stopped dead in your tracks, often running across a message telling you to 'try back another time.'

Hey, I'd be pissed off too!

Well, it looks like things have definitely improved since I previously posted about this little dilemma.

According to Bob at Air America Place, the network has changed streaming providers, and with that change comes new streaming links. So now, instead of hopping across the country via various affiliate webstreams, you can now safely go back to Air America and tune in from the source.

The previous streams you had bookmarked no longer work. The ones provided do. In addition, these links have been added to the left-hand column, so you should be able to click on them with no problems.

Of course, you can also stream from an affiliate, and several links to live streams can be found on the left side of the page as well, including ones for each individual show.

Yahoo! Widgets geeks also have a new option. Someone has created an Air America widget, which sits on your desktop and enables you to listen from there. So far I tried the Windows Media stream from it, and it works pretty good. It's 16MB, so it's pretty easy on resources. You can download that here. Note that the widget will offer the option of either the WMP or Real stream, and will open it in the media player of your choice.

In 2002, the country was equally divided along partisan lines: 43% identified with the Republican Party or leaned to the GOP, while an identical proportion said they were Democrats. Today, half of the public (50%) either identifies as a Democrat or says they lean to the Democratic Party, compared with 35% who align with the GOP.

In the end, I think Schultz was right. They should have brought him into the fold at the launch. He is knowledgable about the business aspects as well as the production aspects of radio.
Rhodes was a disaster. She was "the veteran," yet her radio show was the most amateurish on the AAR lineup. Also, she didn't provide the knowledge that Schultz had.

The business side was a disaster. It was like hiring Michael Brown, a horse guy, to run FEMA. I don't think most of the initial investors knew a damn thing about radio.

Small Towns Face Losing Their Libraries

Most libraries have a large selection of children's books and offer special programs for young readers
A community in southern Oregon is bracing for the very real possibility that its entire library system will soon be closing down. The first public library in the United States was established before there even was a United States, and libraries have been an integral part of American communities ever since.

Almost every town has one and many people, including Jenny Mastroni, can't imagine life without one.

Strike brings chaos to libraries

The library service across Hampshire was thrown into chaos again today as staff carried on their dispute.

More than 100 librarians took to the streets outside Hampshire County Council's headquarters in Winchester yesterday on the first day of their two-day strike.

It was called after the authority announced it was to shed one third of its librarian jobs under cost-cutting measures.

The vote for strike action was made at the start of February as news of the cuts to the library service were made public following the setting of the council's annual budget.

They include shedding 27 jobs and cutting £4,500 in pay from a further 17 library staff Public workers union Unison then balloted 400 members over the proposed strike action, with 87 per cent in favour.

Hopefully, President Bush will veto the bill recently passed by the House of Representives. The "deal" is obviously unacceptable. We cannot allow him to plunder another year and a half - until just before our next presidential election. His administration represents the worst of American values.

The rest of the world once regarded The United States of America as a kind, generous and peace-loving nation. In trying to recreate the world, particularly the Middle East, in our image, we've become the new dictators.

In their solemn oath to uphold our Constitution, elected representatives should have the highest regard for the will of the people. But with only pro-war political candidates and parties to chose from, we have no real choice.

The average American, who works hard just to survive, may not have the time, energy or inclination to lobby Congress. Yet is past time for us to put an end to our otherwise endless military adventurism.

Before committing our nation to war, we must be considerably more circumspect. Using our hard-won freedom of speech, we must say in a loud, clear and resounding voice that we will best support our troops by demanding that they be brought home now!

The Prisoner Or: How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair
"I Know Shut Up": New Iraq Documentary Offers Rare Glimpse of Detention and Life After

David Boodell, Electronic Iraq, 23 March 2007

It could have been a moment out of the reality show Cops. Men in uniform break through the door of a house and take "wrongdoers" into custody. All we viewers know is that there is "good intelligence" that some brothers live here, and they're involved in bomb-making for a terrorist cell. Menace hangs in the air. We see captured men on their knees in the yard. Are they terrorists? One man, his hands tied behind his back, loses patience. "I am journalist," he complains in broken but perfectly understandable English. "You mistake this." His captors tell him to shut up, and the tied-up man parrots back what he hears, anger seeping into his voice. "Shut up, shut up. I know 'shut up.' Always 'shut up' in Iraq." At which point he is taken out of his house, dumped in a truck, and whisked off to a detention facility with his brothers.

Edwards faces delicate balance as wife's cancer returns

His wife's illness may engender sympathy and add an element of human interest to Edwards' campaign. But there is a risk: Some voters may regard his presidential bid as a misplaced priority. The uncertainty could also make potential campaign donors reluctant to give.

Peter Hart, a Democratic pollster, said Edwards, 53, will have to strike a "delicate balance ... between a loving husband and an ambitious politician."

Indeed, the couple's decision isn't winning universal praise.

"Wouldn't you think this is a time when they would want to be home together savoring every moment that they've got?" said Elizabeth Mehren, a Boston University journalism professor who covered the couple in 2004 for the Los Angeles Times. "If he had taken three months off, he could have looked like a hero, a noble man standing by his woman."

Ya gotta *pleeeeeze* record this show for me...

http://abc.net.au/corp/pubs/media/s1860093.htm

A co-production between ABC TV and Gristmill Pty Ltd, The Librarians is the brainchild of actors/writers Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope. Married in real life, Butler and Hope will also star in the production.

The six-part series centres on the trials and tribulations of Frances O'Brien, a devout Catholic and head librarian. Her life unravels when she is forced to employ her ex-best friend, Christine Grimwood - now a drug dealer - as the children's librarian. Frances must do all she can to contain her menacing past and concentrate on the biggest event of the library calendar - Book Week.

The Librarians will also star Roz Hammond (The Micallef Programme, Welcher & Welcher), Bob Franklin (BoyTown, The Extra, The Craic), Kim Gyngell (The Comedy Company, Love and Other Catastrophes), Kate Kendall (Stingers), Heidi Arena (Thank God You're Here, Blue Heelers), Stephen Ballantyne (Corpse Bride) and newcomers Josh Lawson (BoyTown, Blue Heelers) and Keith Brockett.

Butler and Hope joined forces in 2004 to write and produce 13 short films called Stories from the Golf for SBS. Butler, who will play the lead character Frances, has starred in feature films including BoyTown and Crackerjack, as well as numerous television series. Most recently she teamed with Mick Molloy on the Triple M's successful ToughLove program.

"We are thrilled to be making The Librarians. With 25,000 books on set we have fabricated the perfect excuse to extend our summer reading, added to which, the children's library is very handy for cheap childcare, " said Robyn.

Good grief .... how come so much negative talk about AAR? I live in the mid-west and AAR is my life line to sanity but, evidently, we see/hear AAR very differently. I've listened to AAR since the beginning and I remain a very loyal fan. I was angry when AAR fired Mallory and MarcMaron/Crew and wrote many letters in their defense. I hope this doesn't happen to Sam but, I'll write a lot of letter for him, too, just like I did before. I've checked other morning hosts at his time period and was disgusted with all except "The Sam." I wish Sam and MarcMaron could have been my baby brothers.

Thinking of Ed Schulz saving the day for AAR is wishful thinking; he, like Mallory, seem to be very bitter men (unlike MarcMaron) toward AAR and probably wouldn't have made a good match with AAR, not withstanding Mallory, althou he visited with MarcMaron on Thurs. and by Fri., MarcMaron severed his ties with AAR. Good luck to the Greens and AAR. Peace

Indian state gripped by fear of witches: report

Witches!

NEW DELHI: Authorities in a remote area of eastern India have appealed to the public not to conduct witch hunts following rumours that roving bands of witches had been killing people swept the region, media reports said Wednesday.

Panic has spread through Chhattisgarh state following reports that witches were knocking on people’s doors and asking for onions and chapatti – local staple foods – and that anyone who handed out the food would die.

Chhattisgarh, India’s most impoverished state, remains deeply traditional and superstitions and beliefs in the occult are rampant. Last year at least 10 women were killed there on suspicion of being witches.

Constitution of Venezuela

Health care as a human right

As Articles 83-85 under Title III of the 1999 Venezuelan Constitution enshrine free and quality healthcare as a human right guaranteed to all Venezuelan citizens,[3] the Hugo Chávez Frías administration has sought to fulfill its constitutional obligations via the Barrio Adentro program. Notably, Article 84 under Title III mandate that the healthcare furnished through such public programmes as Barrio Adentro be publicly funded, and explicitly proscribes under any circumstance its privatization. The relevant text from the 1999 Bolivarian Constitution reads:[4]

Article 83: Health is a fundamental social right and the responsibility of the State, which shall guarantee it as part of the right to life. The State shall promote and develop policies oriented toward improving the quality of life, common welfare and access to services. All persons have the right to protection of health, as well as the duty to participate actively in the furtherance and protection of the same, and to comply with such health and hygiene measures as may be established by law, and in accordance with international conventions and treaties signed and ratified by the Republic.

Article 84: In order to guarantee the right to health, the State creates, exercises guidance over and administers a national public health system that crosses sector boundaries, and is decentralized and participatory in nature, integrated with the social security system and governed by the principles of gratuity, universality, completeness, fairness, social integration and solidarity. The public health system gives priority to promoting health and preventing disease, guaranteeing prompt treatment and quality rehabilitation. Public health assets and services are the property of the State and shall not be privatized. The organized community has the right and duty to participate in the making- of decisions concerning policy planning, implementation and control at public health institutions.

Article 85: Financing of the public health system is the responsibility of the State, which shall integrate the revenue resources, mandatory Social Security contributions and any other sources of financing provided for by law. The State guarantees a health budget such as to make possible the attainment of health policy objectives. In coordination with universities and research centers, a national professional and technical training policy and a national industry to produce health care supplies shall be promoted and developed. The State shall regulate both public and private health care institutions.
