British Manufactured Gulf Maritime Border Map No such agreed upon border between Iraq and Iran exists, measurements show ship was nearer Iranian coast
Prison Planet | March 30, 2007 Paul Joseph Watson
In claiming HMS Cornwall was within Iraqi territorial waters, the British government and the media have covered-up the fact there is no agreed upon Iraqi-Iranian maritime border, as other bizarre coincidences and dubious circumstances surrounding the hostage crisis begin to emerge.
Former British Ambassador Craig Murray and others are highlighting the fact that the maritime border between Iraq and Iran is contested, and the British have essentially manufactured a border to make it appear as if HMS Cornwall was within Iraqi territorial waters. The mainstream media has uniformly failed to address this issue.
President Bush on Saturday said Iran's capture of 15 British sailors and marines was "inexcusable" and called for Iran to "give back the hostages" immediately and unconditionally.
Bush said Iran plucked the sailors out of Iraqi waters. Iran's president said Saturday they were in Iranian waters and called Britain and its allies "arrogant and selfish" for not apologizing for trespassing.
"It's inexcusable behavior," Bush said at the Camp David presidential retreat, where he was meeting with the president of Brazil. "Iran must give back the hostages. They're innocent. They did nothing wrong."
When the Deaths of the Innocent Do Not Matter Matt Taibbi describes with highly accurate precision the true nature of the pathetic, stinking charade that has just taken place in Congress: As for everyone else -- specifically, the Democrats who sponsored and passed the timetable measure -- they benefited from the bill most directly, riding a crest of antiwar sentiment and setting the Democrats up as the party that will look the best in the eyes of frustrated, war-fatigued voters in 2008. But lost amid all of this antiwar posturing were a series of inconvenient truths. One was that the bill was always going to be meaningless because Bush was always going to veto it, there were never going to be enough votes to override the veto, and everybody knew there were never going to be enough votes to override the veto. The second is that the timetable measure was buried in an emergency spending bill to pay for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, a bill that ended up authorizing $122 billion in spending when the supposedly evil, warmongering, politically isolated Bush White House only asked for $103 billion. In other words, the outwardly combative Democratic leadership not only refused to do anything substantive to bring the troops home, it actually tossed Bush an extra $20 billion for the war effort without prodding.
Gen'ls to Bush: Soldiers not props Posted by Frank James at 1:15 pm CDT
A trio of retired generals concerned that President Bush might use his scheduled appearance this afternoon at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center to try and score political points against Democrats, urged the president, via a teleconference with reporters, to focus strictly on the problems with military medical care.
The generals were spurred into action by news reports that suggested the president might use the event to take on Democrats as both sides clash over the Iraq and Afghanistan spending bills just passed by the Senate and House which include timelines Bush fiercely opposes for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.
Some of the pointiest of comments came from retired Army Major Gen. Paul Eaton who seconded the comments made right before him by retired Army three-star, Lt. Gen. Robert Garde, who welcomed the president's visit to Walter Reed, especially if it meant a faster solution would be forthcoming to the problems there and at other facilities.
Eaton, incidentally, was known as the "father of the Iraqi Army" for his work in rebuilding the Iraqi army after the 2003 U.S. invasion.
US death toll for March nearly twice than Iraq forces The U.S. military death toll in March, the first full month of the security crackdown, was nearly twice that of the Iraqi army, which American and Iraqi officials say is taking the leading role in the latest attempt to curb violence in the capital, surrounding cities and Anbar province, according to figures compiled on Saturday.
Report faults Pentagon for weapons buying problems The Defense Department has doubled its planned investment in new weapons from $750 billion in 2001 to $1.5 trillion this year, but it is not getting enough bang for its buck, congressional investigators said on Friday.
Pentagon war funds need not urgent: Congress memo The U.S. Army has enough money on hand to finance the Iraq war through most of July, according to a congressional study that challenges President George W. Bush's assertions that an infusion of funds is needed more urgently.

People here a like old dogs. Sittin in the ashes after the house has done burned down and everyone moved away. I expect they be comin back here for some time to come. Got no where else to be. Didn't have nothin before they came here. Have even less now. Damn shame what AAR did.
You should look on it as a failed experiment. You just know one more kind of radio people hate to listen to. If you keep tryin maybe you will fall into something people like. Lots of folk have worked there way back from failure.
Sure it's easy for Rush to brag about his 800 stations and his multi-million dollar contract, but who cares? Sure everything AAR has done has been a failure. And sure no one listens. But that doesn't make you a stupid failure. It's not like you invested time and emotion into AAR. You could care less.
DHS demand for DNS master key alarms nations by Deep Harm Sat Mar 31, 2007 at 04:03:53 PM PDT Slashdot and Cryptome report that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is demanding the master key for the DNS root zone - a demand that has other nations alarmed. With the master key, DHS would have control over the Internet, as Slashdot describes, quoting an "anonymous reader."
The key will play an important role in the new DNSSec security extension, because it will make spoofing IP-addresses impossible. By forcing the IANA [Internet Assigned Numbers Authority] to hand out a copy of the master key, the US government will be the only institution that is able to spoof IP addresses and be able to break into computers connected to the Internet without much effort.
The issue arose at Friday's meeting of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in Lisbon, Portugal.
Deep Harm's diary :: :: There is no indication yet that U.S. mainstream news media have reported on the DHS proposal. U.S. coverage of the ICANN meeting focused (predictably) on a proposal to create a domain specifically for adult websites. Cryptome cites a German news source, Heisse Online, which provides the following information.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS)...wants to have the key to sign the DNS root zone solidly in the hands of the US government. This ultimate master key would then allow authorities to track DNS Security Extensions (DNSSec) all the way back to the servers that represent the name system's root zone on the Internet. The "key-signing key" signs the zone key, which is held by VeriSign. At the meeting of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in Lisbon, Bernard Turcotte, president of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) drew everyone's attention to this proposal as a representative of the national top-level domain registries (ccTLDs).
Radio shouldn't be allowed to draw people in then dump them like a load of trash after they move on. It's like you wasted two years out of your life that you can never have back again. It's like driving down a dead end road. AAR didn't care about you.
I am sorry it seems repetitive, but you are slow learners. I mean everyone is gone but you. Do you think you might need some extra help for someone like you to understand what has happened here?
AAR is bankrupt. All the show have failed. The network has failed. The message was crap. The sales were crap. The rating were crap. The blogs were crap. Does that give you clue?
'New Neo-Con Idiots' Target Humanitarian Foundations: "Just as everything seems to be going smoothly and construction sites are springing up like mushrooms, the new neo-con idiots are intervening to stop these generous donors by putting such companies on the black list, with the goal of freezing their assets." 3-29 POAC
You just made a massive investment of your time, emotions, and life. All for nothing. It will all go down as a footnote in radio history. You bet on a mule and you lost big.

"DEMOCRATS AS MARINATED IN CORRUPTION AS REPUBLICANS, FOR EXAMPLE, DIANE FEINSTEIN"-- Carolyn Baker http://carolynbaker.org/
SEN. Dianne Feinstein has resigned from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee. As previously and extensively reviewed in these pages, Feinstein was chairperson and ranking member of MILCON for six years, during which time she had a conflict of interest due to her husband Richard C. Blum's ownership of two major defense contractors, who were awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Feinstein.
As MILCON leader, Feinstein relished the details of military construction, even micromanaging one project at the level of its sewer design. She regularly took junkets to military bases around the world to inspect construction projects, some of which were contracted to her husband's companies, Perini Corp. and URS Corp.
Perhaps she resigned from MILCON because she could not take the heat generated by Metro's expose of her ethics (which was partially funded by the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute). Or was her work on the subcommittee finished because Blum divested ownership of his military construction and advanced weapons manufacturing firms in late 2005?

Rebellion is riding in our hearts, millions of human beings, those who are the invisible ones, those who are the poor ones, those who are the ignorant ones rise against domination in every part of the world. Millions of people are doing their best in the struggle to defend human race and the planet; those millions of people reject integration to the world of globalisation, democracy and homogeneous pluralism. They care little about the ridiculous IT era and of the endless possibilities, because they are those to pay the price for the comfort of the privileged few.
Burger King, another American fast-food chain, published a full-page advertisement in USA Today in 1998 announcing the introduction of the "Left-Handed Whopper," specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new burger included the same ingredients as the original, but the condiments were rotated 180 degrees. The chain said it received thousands of requests for the new burger, as well as orders for the original "right-handed" version.

Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson vented her frustrations with President Bush last spring on her Web page on MySpace.com.
She posted a picture of the president, scrawled "Kill Bush" across the top and drew a dagger stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page on the social-networking site after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.
It was too late.
Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her molecular biology class.
The 14-year-old freshman was taken out of class Wednesday and questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who said the agents should have included them when they questioned their daughter.
On Friday, the teenager said the agents' questioning led her to tears.
"I wasn't dangerous. I mean, look at what's (stenciled) on my backpack — it's a heart. I'm a very peace-loving person," said Wilson, an honor student who describes herself as politically passionate. "I'm against the war in Iraq. I'm not going to kill the president." ...
The elemental was a green-eyed, flaming redhead named Marjorie Cameron, (later of Kenneth Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome film, an artist of some reknown and a primary force in the New Age 'Goddess' movement). Cameron was only too happy to participate in Parson's sex magick and now Parsons could get down to the real business of the Babalon Working: the birthing of a 'moonchild' or homunculus. The operation was formulated to open an interdimensional doorway, rolling out the red carpet for the appearance of the goddess Babalon in human form, employing the Enochian Calls [angelic language] of Elizabethan magus John Dee and the attraction of the sex force of the duo's copulation to this end.
As Paul Rydeen points out in his extended essay Jack Parsons and the Fall of Babalon:
"The purpose of Parson's operation has been underemphasized. He sought to produce a magickal child who would be a product of her environment rather than of her heredity. Crowley himself describes the Moonchild in just these terms. The Babalon Working itself was preparation for what was to come: a Thelemic messiah, Air-ono."
As it is written, so the prophecy has come to pass...
“We seek,” [Einstein] said in his Nobel Prize lecture, “a mathematically unified field theory in which the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field are interpreted only as different components or manifestations of the same uniform field.”
Quantum theory, with its built-in uncertainties and paradoxes, struck him as a spooky violation of physical realism. “The more successes the quantum theory enjoys,” he lamented to a friend in 1912, “the sillier it looks.”
In an autobiographical sketch published in 1949, he described his frustrated attempts “to adapt the theoretical foundation of physics” to quantum science:
“It was as if the ground had been pulled out from under one, with no firm foundation to be seen anywhere upon which one could have built,” leaving “an intermediate state of physics without a uniform basis for the whole, a state that—although unsatisfactory—is far from having been overcome.”
His faith that a unified theory of all the fields exists went back to his childhood sense that “something deeply hidden had to be behind things,” a something that would evince itself in an encompassing theory of elegant simplicity. Isaacson tells us: “On one of the many occasions when Einstein declared that God would not play dice, it was Bohr”—the physicist Niels Bohr—“who countered with the famous rejoinder: Einstein, stop telling God what to do!”
"Not only does god play dice, sometimes he throws them where we can't see them." - Stephen Hawking, dungeon master

Something funny I just read in an article criticizing "The Secret"...
the “Law of Attraction”: that similar things attract each other, so positive thoughts bring positive things and negative ones bring negative things. Of course, in physics, it is opposites that attract.
In The Biology of Belief I draw the proverbial line in the sand. On one side of the line is a world defined by neo-Darwinism, which casts life as an unending war among battling, biochemical robots. On the other side of the line is the “New Biology,” which casts life as a cooperative journey among powerful individuals who can program themselves to create joy-filled lives. When we cross that line and truly understand the New Biology, we will no longer fractiously debate the role of nurture and nature, because we will realize that the fully conscious mind trumps both nature and nurture. And I believe we will also experience as profound a paradigmatic change to humanity as when a round-world reality was introduced to a flat-world civilization. ...
That's cool..I miss things open late...it's not like that here where I live..This month I start working until closing one night a week..8pm...should be interesting..
I'd crack the joke about having to "weed ou the drug users", but I've really got nothing to add to that.
I dig weird people, although there are varying degrees of weird. I've also never had to take raising a child into consideration, so...
I know it sounds trite, but I really am sending as much positive thought as I can your way, # (fwiw). I'll be hoping to read that you got showered with happy karma and many blessings.
//I'd crack the joke about having to "weed ou the drug users", but I've really got nothing to add to that.//
hahahaha!
I'm weird too, but kind. My roomate is ok, he is just in his own little world that is counter reality. It's frustrating to explain to him why paying bills is a good thing. But on the other hand he is like family and always spots me money if I am broke and his daughter and my son are very close like siblings, and she is like my daughter.
He does this weird thing where he replaces everything in the kitchen every six months. EVERYTHING. Puts the old stuff into storage. And yet he has no bedroom set, and he puts the bills aside to do this. I literally have to pay my half of the bills directly. I cannot give him any money because he will use it for a mauve napkin holder.
But then he snaps back into reality and starts paying bills again after awhile. It is definately cyclical.
thanks for the positive vibes! I know things will ok. I just like to complain
I would never trust his jugdement. He would happily stay with a meth head and I'd never know it until he came home pretendting to smoke crack. (that has NEVER happened btw...I am just making a joke.)
He is very adjustable. He loves everyone and everything. He hugs the pizza guy.
Weird and kind is a good combo (conbo?), imhfo. I tried that whole thing where ya don't pay the bills when I was younger. Didn't work so well. I have avoided credit, but have capitulated on my non paying status.
I have no bedroom or kitchen set, I've been using hand-me-downs forever. I try to think of it as recycling. It's a nice way to say broke. : )
As for complaining, well, I mean isn't that what we libs are supposed to be all about?
Your kid sounds like a helluva fella, #. Seems like you're doing a pretty good job there, crazy hours or no.

Don't blame ya for not wanting to do the clean up, A. Still smacking a locked up PC is pretty gratifying.

Sam, I know you've got other shit to deal with, but I'm kinda hoping that we'll get to spend the anniversary at the REAL blog. No stress, though. FWIW, I'm already pestering my local affiliate to raise a ruckus with the mothership.
My furniture set is so old...and I don't have a bed set, but my son does ($20.00 on craigslist)
The only thing I spend a lot of money on is clothes. I always buy my son brandnew clothes because I am stupid that way. Target stuff, but still new. My Mom was big on thrift store stuff, and I hated it. HATED IT. Once she went through a phase where she made me clothes...she made us stuff that was cute in the fifties when she was growing up. I wore costumes almost. hahaha!
My mom was like that, too. Broke, single parent, three kids. Don't blame her, but man, either the thrift stores just didn't have cool shit, or my mom is blind. She never made me anything (that I can remember), but god, she had horrid taste.
My furniture is almost all older that I am. I have a giant bean bag, an overstuffed ottoman, a futon, an old writing desk, and an ancient hide-a-bed. The ottoman is puke green, and I'm pretty sure it was made in the mid seventies.
My bed is such a wretched piece of shit that I sleep on an air mattress or the bean bag most nights.
I'm hoping all this stuff becomes "retro" enough to be cool if I keep hanging on to it.
"when everyone else was wearing neon dayglow clothes, hightops and tube socks."
I still have my Chuck Taylors somewhere...
I call bullshit on your statement re: your son's personality. He may have certain innate qualities, but you have a lot to do with helping shape his view of the world. It follows that you must be doing something right if he is that caring and affectionate.
//Don't blame her, but man, either the thrift stores just didn't have cool shit, or my mom is blind.//
oh lord, that was my Mom. She wasn't a single parent, but she was thrifty. I only got toys on Christmas and birthdays and modest things. But refused to buy a TV when ours broke, which actually was a good thing, because me and my little sister spent hours reading and making up intricate games because we were so bored. Everyone liked to play with us because we were entertaining, weird clothes or no. :)
You can find nice stuff if you look hard enough at thrift stores, I buy clothes there. People are forever giving me clothes too.
I so need a car though. As it is, I'm going to have wait until next years tax returns as I blew this years on a lemon piece of crap that I only drove for one weekend before it died!
We were allowed to watch tv, but she was weird about it. She's a crazy fundie, so the Dukes Of Hazzard was okay, as was Grizzly Adams, but we couldn't wacth the Smurfs because Gargamel (sp?) was a witch.
The upside was that I was allowed to read whatever I got my hands on. Definitely worth it in the long run.
I hear ya on the car. Lydia's got over 400k on the odometer, and she's not gonna make 450k. Have to try to get a new engine in the next couple months. ; (
re my son, he is his own little man. People are shocked we are related.
I am serious. When he see's someone he doesn't know he says "Hi Friend! Want to play?" I did not teach him that. I tend to shy away from people I don't know. He calls everyone Friend. I think he is a socialist. ha!
We'll have to agree to disagree. I'm not saying you taught him to be outgoing, I'm saying you've apparently taught him to love others, even strangers, and that can be no accident.
Socialist? If he likes "friend", teach him "tovarisch". Then you'll really have a little commie on yer hands.
I'm living with used furniture and hand me downs also. Even my computer is a hand me down. My friend Rita bought a new one and gave me her old one. Needed some parts, but until now, with the extra hours at work, I wasn't able to fix it.
Funny how things that used to be so important are not that important any more.
Forgot PBS. Loved to watch 3,2,1, Contact!, Sesame Stree, The Electric Company, Reading Rainbow.
Good Stuff.
My mom's coming around. Her big issues are homosexuality and abortion. Our occupation of Iraq has worn her down, though. That, and the greed. She's never voting R again.
Now, if I could just get a few more decent folks from my side of the aisle to wake up, I'd be happy.
My Mom will never come around. Everytime I talk to her, she tells me that Guilani is God's candidate.
Its all I can do not to laugh at her. The thing with my Mom is, she could write for FOX. She comes up with own weird theories. FOX has only flamed the weirdness.
-conbo
I wish my family weren't so weird. Even my older sister who lives in England is a riot.
She actually can't read (learning disabilites) and yet she landed a job at a University. I often laugh when I think of her grading papers.
Got to give her credit though, she did manage to get through college, unlike me. I never did, and I can read very well. I know she can't read. I figured this out after she told me an alternate ending to Grapes Of Wrath. I was like, uh, that never happened! And she admitted she can't read very well, but guessed what the book was about. I am sure she is giving stupid American a whole new slot over there.
I shouldn't be so mean, but she totally bs'd her way through life.
My PC is second hand, too. So was the one I was using until two months ago. That was a 433Mhz P2, 192MB RAM, running WIN98SE. It was designed for Win 95. P.O.S.
I've got a PC "graveyard" out in my garage. P1's, P2's, a pair of 496's and a really old 386. Two old monitors that still work, but don't really fit on my desk. I think I even have a dot matrix printer somewhere. Buncha crap, but it all still works.
Glad you got your's up and running!

As for CPS, they don't have enough "C's" to stand against the CCCP.
I think my mom thinks Obama is god's candidate. Oh, well. Progress is progress, I guess.
I try not to talk politics with her any more. I am to hotheaded about things, and I wind up mad at her, which is pointless. I said some pretty evil shit to her around the '04 elections. Was not cool of me, whether she was right or not.

I wouldn't call it mean, either, #. It used to piss me off something fierce when I would see people that were good at nothing but b.s.-ing "getting ahead". This great sense of "THAT'S NOT FAIR!", I guess.
It doesn't really bug me as much now. I guess I revised my idea of what "getting ahead" meant.
//It doesn't really bug me as much now. I guess I revised my idea of what "getting ahead" meant.//
yeah. I should forgive her. It is hard when you can't read very well, and she has done very well for herself.
Better than me...so who is smarter, really?
:)
I just have no drive. Honestly. Notta. I got my job by accident. I went to the interview because one of my friends was interviewing too and needed moral support. We both got the jobs. I am still in shock. I have great health insurance and free school, but you know I am a slacker.

Talking about TV, when I was young TV's were only just getting started. Only the rich had them. I think we got our first TV when I was 8. It had a round screen. There was 12 hours of programing and then we got the Indian Screen and static. Every day, when programming started again, the first thing on the TV was a US flag and they played the National Anthem.
I was a slacker until I figured out that I could just say that I was rebelling against hyper-consumption and wage slavery. Sounds cooler that way. ; )ere I
Seriously, though. I had a good job in an industry that is booming right now, great benefits, and a good schedule. I quit to take a job making 50% less money, and have never regretted it. I' get tired of being broke sometimes, and then I remind myself of where I've been.
I'd rather be broke and happy than well paid and miserable.
The only reason i haven't walked off the job is because of my son.
Honestly. i am sick of the place. I would be much happier working at a coffee shop.
My job is not hard, but so political. F'CKD up shit is constantly happening. Recently the president of the college was fired because he was using the school's funds for taking private vacations. It was quite the media show. Sheriff Joe even came in and personally took the evidence 'file cabinets.' The place was crawling with cops.
My supervisor is a moron who doesn't know anything about libraries but got the job because he promised to whip us up into shape...we are a problem department 'cause we complain about how the library funding is used and envoke our union on the drop of a hat. Ha! We have finally broken our supervisor down...he is on to greener pastures.
My lord, if I could I would have quit eons ago. That place is circus-circus.
That's funny. I went from my cubicle job to a job for a coffee company. I have a legend for being the best warehouse manager/stock driver they've ever had. Too bad they don't pay shit, but, oh well.
Did you have anything to do with the wiki entry? : )
My mom worked some shitty jobs to make sure we did all right. It may be small reward, but your son will thank you some day.
Bush: Gonzales 'honorable and honest' By JENNIFER TALHELM, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 29 minutes ago
President Bush again came to Alberto Gonzales' defense Saturday, saying the attorney general is "honorable and honest" and has his full support.
During a joint press conference with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at the Camp David presidential retreat, Bush defended Gonzales against charges he has not been forthcoming enough about his role in the firing of federal prosecutors.
"He is providing documents for Congress to find the truth. He will testify in front of Congress. And he will tell the truth," the president said. "I will remind you there is no credible evidence there has been any wrongdoing."
A Republican congressman on Saturday urged Gonzales to resign, citing what he said were Gonzales' contradictory statements about his role in the firing of eight federal prosecutors.
"I trusted him before, but I can't now," said five-term Rep. Lee Terry (news, bio, voting record), whose district includes metropolitan Omaha.
Gonzales' credibility took a blow this past week during testimony by his former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Sampson, who resigned March 12, said the attorney general was regularly briefed about plans to fire the prosecutors and was involved with discussions about "this process of asking certain U.S. attorneys to resign."
Lawmakers impatient to hear Gonzales' side of the story said the embattled attorney general needed to explain himself quickly or risk more damage to his department. Gonzales is to testify on Capitol Hill on April 17.
"My views were that this was Democrat posturing and a witch hunt," Terry said. "My trust in him in that position has taken a hit because of these contradictory statements by him."
Terry's change of heart came on the first day of a two-week break for House members and Republicans hoped to avoid spending much of that time on the defensive about Gonzales.
//That's funny. I went from my cubicle job to a job for a coffee company. I have a legend for being the best warehouse manager/stock driver they've ever had. Too bad they don't pay shit, but, oh well.//

And so it begins...
President Bush on Saturday said Iran's capture of 15 British sailors and marines was "inexcusable" and called for Iran to "give back the hostages" immediately and unconditionally.
Bush said Iran plucked the sailors out of Iraqi waters. Iran's president said Saturday they were in Iranian waters and called Britain and its allies "arrogant and selfish" for not apologizing for trespassing.
"It's inexcusable behavior," Bush said at the Camp David presidential retreat, where he was meeting with the president of Brazil. "Iran must give back the hostages. They're innocent. They did nothing wrong."

When the Deaths of the Innocent Do Not Matter
Matt Taibbi describes with highly accurate precision the true nature of the pathetic, stinking charade that has just taken place in Congress:
As for everyone else -- specifically, the Democrats who sponsored and passed the timetable measure -- they benefited from the bill most directly, riding a crest of antiwar sentiment and setting the Democrats up as the party that will look the best in the eyes of frustrated, war-fatigued voters in 2008. But lost amid all of this antiwar posturing were a series of inconvenient truths. One was that the bill was always going to be meaningless because Bush was always going to veto it, there were never going to be enough votes to override the veto, and everybody knew there were never going to be enough votes to override the veto. The second is that the timetable measure was buried in an emergency spending bill to pay for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, a bill that ended up authorizing $122 billion in spending when the supposedly evil, warmongering, politically isolated Bush White House only asked for $103 billion. In other words, the outwardly combative Democratic leadership not only refused to do anything substantive to bring the troops home, it actually tossed Bush an extra $20 billion for the war effort without prodding.

Gen'ls to Bush: Soldiers not props
Posted by Frank James at 1:15 pm CDT
A trio of retired generals concerned that President Bush might use his scheduled appearance this afternoon at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center to try and score political points against Democrats, urged the president, via a teleconference with reporters, to focus strictly on the problems with military medical care.
The generals were spurred into action by news reports that suggested the president might use the event to take on Democrats as both sides clash over the Iraq and Afghanistan spending bills just passed by the Senate and House which include timelines Bush fiercely opposes for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.
Some of the pointiest of comments came from retired Army Major Gen. Paul Eaton who seconded the comments made right before him by retired Army three-star, Lt. Gen. Robert Garde, who welcomed the president's visit to Walter Reed, especially if it meant a faster solution would be forthcoming to the problems there and at other facilities.
Eaton, incidentally, was known as the "father of the Iraqi Army" for his work in rebuilding the Iraqi army after the 2003 U.S. invasion.

The U.S. military death toll in March, the first full month of the security crackdown, was nearly twice that of the Iraqi army, which American and Iraqi officials say is taking the leading role in the latest attempt to curb violence in the capital, surrounding cities and Anbar province, according to figures compiled on Saturday.

DHS demand for DNS master key alarms nations
by Deep Harm
Sat Mar 31, 2007 at 04:03:53 PM PDT
Slashdot and Cryptome report that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is demanding the master key for the DNS root zone - a demand that has other nations alarmed. With the master key, DHS would have control over the Internet, as Slashdot describes, quoting an "anonymous reader."
The key will play an important role in the new DNSSec security extension, because it will make spoofing IP-addresses impossible. By forcing the IANA [Internet Assigned Numbers Authority] to hand out a copy of the master key, the US government will be the only institution that is able to spoof IP addresses and be able to break into computers connected to the Internet without much effort.
The issue arose at Friday's meeting of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in Lisbon, Portugal.
Deep Harm's diary :: ::
There is no indication yet that U.S. mainstream news media have reported on the DHS proposal. U.S. coverage of the ICANN meeting focused (predictably) on a proposal to create a domain specifically for adult websites. Cryptome cites a German news source, Heisse Online, which provides the following information.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS)...wants to have the key to sign the DNS root zone solidly in the hands of the US government. This ultimate master key would then allow authorities to track DNS Security Extensions (DNSSec) all the way back to the servers that represent the name system's root zone on the Internet. The "key-signing key" signs the zone key, which is held by VeriSign. At the meeting of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in Lisbon, Bernard Turcotte, president of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) drew everyone's attention to this proposal as a representative of the national top-level domain registries (ccTLDs).

Dianne Feinstein resigns committee post amid scandal; accused of war profiteering
Feinstein Resigns
Senator exits MILCON following Metro exposé, vet-care scandal
"DEMOCRATS AS MARINATED IN CORRUPTION AS REPUBLICANS, FOR EXAMPLE, DIANE
FEINSTEIN"-- Carolyn Baker http://carolynbaker.org/
SEN. Dianne Feinstein has resigned from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee. As previously and extensively reviewed in these pages, Feinstein was chairperson and ranking member of MILCON for six years, during which time she had a conflict of interest due to her husband Richard C. Blum's ownership of two major defense contractors, who were awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Feinstein.
As MILCON leader, Feinstein relished the details of military construction, even micromanaging one project at the level of its sewer design. She regularly took junkets to military bases around the world to inspect construction projects, some of which were contracted to her husband's companies, Perini Corp. and URS Corp.
Perhaps she resigned from MILCON because she could not take the heat generated by Metro's expose of her ethics (which was partially funded by the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute). Or was her work on the subcommittee finished because Blum divested ownership of his military construction and advanced weapons manufacturing firms in late 2005?

The chain said it received thousands of requests for the new burger, as well as orders for the original "right-handed" version.

14yr old questioned over myspace Bush "threat"
Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson vented her frustrations with President Bush last spring on her Web page on MySpace.com.
She posted a picture of the president, scrawled "Kill Bush" across the top and drew a dagger stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page on the social-networking site after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.
It was too late.
Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her molecular biology class.
The 14-year-old freshman was taken out of class Wednesday and questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who said the agents should have included them when they questioned their daughter.
On Friday, the teenager said the agents' questioning led her to tears.
"I wasn't dangerous. I mean, look at what's (stenciled) on my backpack — it's a heart. I'm a very peace-loving person," said Wilson, an honor student who describes herself as politically passionate. "I'm against the war in Iraq. I'm not going to kill the president."
...
The elemental was a green-eyed, flaming redhead named Marjorie Cameron, (later of Kenneth Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome film, an artist of some reknown and a primary force in the New Age 'Goddess' movement). Cameron was only too happy to participate in Parson's sex magick and now Parsons could get down to the real business of the Babalon Working: the birthing of a 'moonchild' or homunculus. The operation was formulated to open an interdimensional doorway, rolling out the red carpet for the appearance of the goddess Babalon in human form, employing the Enochian Calls [angelic language] of Elizabethan magus John Dee and the attraction of the sex force of the duo's copulation to this end.
As Paul Rydeen points out in his extended essay Jack Parsons and the Fall of Babalon:
"The purpose of Parson's operation has been underemphasized. He sought to produce a magickal child who would be a product of her environment rather than of her heredity. Crowley himself describes the Moonchild in just these terms. The Babalon Working itself was preparation for what was to come: a Thelemic messiah, Air-ono."
As it is written, so the prophecy has come to pass...
“We seek,” [Einstein] said in his Nobel Prize lecture, “a mathematically unified field theory in which the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field are interpreted only as different components or manifestations of the same uniform field.”
Quantum theory, with its built-in uncertainties and paradoxes, struck him as a spooky violation of physical realism. “The more successes the quantum theory enjoys,” he lamented to a friend in 1912, “the sillier it looks.”
In an autobiographical sketch published in 1949, he described his frustrated attempts “to adapt the theoretical foundation of physics” to quantum science:
“It was as if the ground had been pulled out from under one, with no firm foundation to be seen anywhere upon which one could have built,” leaving “an intermediate state of physics without a uniform basis for the whole, a state that—although unsatisfactory—is far from having been overcome.”
http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/books/2007/04/02/070402crbo_books_updike
His faith that a unified theory of all the fields exists went back to his childhood sense that “something deeply hidden had to be behind things,” a something that would evince itself in an encompassing theory of elegant simplicity. Isaacson tells us: “On one of the many occasions when Einstein declared that God would not play dice, it was Bohr”—the physicist Niels Bohr—“who countered with the famous rejoinder: Einstein, stop telling God what to do!”

The Light Outside of the Box
In The Biology of Belief I draw the proverbial line in the sand. On one side of the line is a world defined by neo-Darwinism, which casts life as an unending war among battling, biochemical robots. On the other side of the line is the “New Biology,” which casts life as a cooperative journey among powerful individuals who can program themselves to create joy-filled lives. When we cross that line and truly understand the New Biology, we will no longer fractiously debate the role of nurture and nature, because we will realize that the fully conscious mind trumps both nature and nurture. And I believe we will also experience as profound a paradigmatic change to humanity as when a round-world reality was introduced to a flat-world civilization.

//I'd crack the joke about having to "weed ou the drug users", but I've really got nothing to add to that.//
hahahaha!
I'm weird too, but kind. My roomate is ok, he is just in his own little world that is counter reality. It's frustrating to explain to him why paying bills is a good thing. But on the other hand he is like family
and always spots me money if I am broke and his daughter and my son are very close like siblings, and she is like my daughter.
He does this weird thing where he replaces everything in the kitchen every six months. EVERYTHING. Puts the old stuff into storage. And yet he has no bedroom set, and he puts the bills aside to do this. I literally have to pay my half of the bills directly. I cannot give him any money because he will use it for a mauve napkin holder.
But then he snaps back into reality and starts paying bills again after awhile. It is definately cyclical.
thanks for the positive vibes! I know things will ok. I just like to complain
-conbo
My son likes everybody.
I would never trust his jugdement. He would happily stay with a meth head and I'd never know it until he came home pretendting to smoke crack. (that has NEVER happened btw...I am just making a joke.)
He is very adjustable. He loves everyone and everything. He hugs the pizza guy.
-conbo
Funny you would mention that, WFC..we were going to have a public smashing..but I didn't want to have to clean it up...:)
Weird and kind is a good combo (conbo?), imhfo. I tried that whole thing where ya don't pay the bills when I was younger. Didn't work so well. I have avoided credit, but have capitulated on my non paying status.
I have no bedroom or kitchen set, I've been using hand-me-downs forever. I try to think of it as recycling. It's a nice way to say broke. : )
As for complaining, well, I mean isn't that what we libs are supposed to be all about?
Your kid sounds like a helluva fella, #. Seems like you're doing a pretty
good job there, crazy hours or no.
---
Don't blame ya for not wanting to do the clean up, A. Still smacking a locked up PC is pretty gratifying.

Sam, I know you've got other shit to deal with, but I'm kinda hoping that we'll get to spend the anniversary at the REAL blog. No stress, though. FWIW, I'm already pestering my local affiliate to raise a ruckus with the mothership.
My furniture set is so old...and I don't have a bed set, but my son does ($20.00 on craigslist)
The only thing I spend a lot of money on is clothes.
I always buy my son brandnew clothes because I am stupid that way. Target stuff, but still new. My Mom was big on thrift store stuff, and I hated it. HATED IT. Once she went through a phase where she made me clothes...she made us stuff that was cute in the fifties when she was growing up. I wore costumes almost. hahaha!
-conbo
One outfit in particular was green knickers with a matching vest. It was so werid. Knickers are like half pants things . Oh, and it was melon green.
-conbo
when everyone else was wearing neon dayglow clothes, hightops and tube socks.
My son was born with his personailty...i honestly had nothing to do with it
He is as outgoing and friendly as I am shy
-conbo
My mom was like that, too. Broke, single parent, three kids. Don't blame her, but man, either the thrift stores just didn't have cool shit, or my mom is blind. She never made me anything (that I can remember), but god, she had horrid taste.
My furniture is almost all older that I am. I have a giant bean bag, an overstuffed ottoman, a futon, an old writing desk, and an ancient hide-a-bed. The ottoman is puke green, and I'm pretty sure it was made in the mid seventies.
My bed is such a wretched piece of shit that I sleep on an air mattress or the bean bag most nights.
I'm hoping all this stuff becomes "retro" enough to be cool if I keep hanging on to it.
"when everyone else was wearing neon dayglow clothes, hightops and tube socks."
I still have my Chuck Taylors somewhere...
I call bullshit on your statement re: your son's personality. He may have certain innate qualities, but you have a lot to do with helping shape his view of the world. It follows that you must be doing something right if he is that caring and affectionate.
$.02
//Don't blame her, but man, either the thrift stores just didn't have cool shit, or my mom is blind.//
oh lord, that was my Mom. She wasn't a single parent, but she was thrifty. I only got toys on Christmas and birthdays and modest things.
But refused to buy a TV when ours broke, which actually was a good thing, because me and my little sister spent hours reading and making up intricate games because we were so bored. Everyone liked to play with us because we were entertaining, weird clothes or no. :)
You can find nice stuff if you look hard enough at thrift stores, I buy clothes there. People are forever giving me clothes too.
I so need a car though. As it is, I'm going to have wait until next years tax returns as I blew this years on a lemon piece of crap that I only drove for one weekend before it died!
-conbo
We were allowed to watch tv, but she was weird about it. She's a crazy fundie, so the Dukes Of Hazzard was okay, as was Grizzly Adams, but we couldn't wacth the Smurfs because Gargamel (sp?) was a witch.
The upside was that I was allowed to read whatever I got my hands on. Definitely worth it in the long run.
I hear ya on the car. Lydia's got over 400k on the odometer, and she's not gonna make 450k. Have to try to get a new engine in the next couple months. ; (
What happened with your car? What broke?
What are Chuck Taylors?
I honestly have no idea!!!
re my son, he is his own little man. People are shocked we are related.
I am serious. When he see's someone he doesn't know he says "Hi Friend! Want to play?" I did not teach him that. I tend to shy away from people I don't know. He calls everyone Friend. I think he is a socialist. ha!
-conbo
That sad face should not be winking.
I don't even know what that means.
Chucks
My Mom is a fundie too!
When we did finally get a replacement TV when I was 13, we were only allowed to watch PBS and the Cosby Show or the evening news.
Of course now, thanks to FOX she thinks PBS is ran by the evil leftists in South America.
ok, Mom. whatever
-conbo
Oh those are cool! I love those kinds of shoes.
I actually have a pair of shoes that look exactly like bowling alley shoes. I love ugly shoes.

Re: Dinoboy
We'll have to agree to disagree. I'm not saying you taught him to be outgoing, I'm saying you've apparently taught him to love others, even strangers, and that can be no accident.
Socialist? If he likes "friend", teach him "tovarisch". Then you'll really have a little commie on yer hands.
Hi Connie, WFC.
I'm living with used furniture and hand me downs also. Even my computer is a hand me down. My friend Rita bought a new one and gave me her old one. Needed some parts, but until now, with the extra hours at work, I wasn't able to fix it.
Funny how things that used to be so important are not that important any more.
I am so greatful that the FOX revolution did not occur until I was an adult
I fear for the children of fundies today
-conbo

hahaha!
that will really get CPS on my doorstep!
Hi ToniD! I hear you about handmedown stuff. Thank God for Craigslist. BTW, do make an emergency kit. Put a prepaid cell phone in there too.
-conbo
Forgot PBS. Loved to watch 3,2,1, Contact!, Sesame Stree, The Electric Company, Reading Rainbow.
Good Stuff.
My mom's coming around. Her big issues are homosexuality and abortion. Our occupation of Iraq has worn her down, though. That, and the greed. She's never voting R again.
Now, if I could just get a few more decent folks from my side of the aisle to wake up, I'd be happy.
Good for your Mom!
My Mom will never come around. Everytime I talk to her, she tells me that Guilani is God's candidate.
Its all I can do not to laugh at her. The thing with my Mom is, she could write for FOX. She comes up with own weird theories. FOX has only flamed the weirdness.
-conbo
I wish my family weren't so weird. Even my older sister who lives in England is a riot.
She actually can't read (learning disabilites) and yet she landed a job at a University. I often laugh when I think of her grading papers.
Got to give her credit though, she did manage to get through college, unlike me. I never did, and I can read very well. I know she can't read. I figured this out after she told me an alternate ending to Grapes Of Wrath. I was like, uh, that never happened! And she admitted she can't read very well, but guessed what the book was about. I am sure she is giving stupid American a whole new slot over there.
I shouldn't be so mean, but
she totally bs'd her way through life.
Hiya, toniD!
My PC is second hand, too. So was the one I was using until two months ago. That was a 433Mhz P2, 192MB RAM, running WIN98SE. It was designed for Win 95. P.O.S.
I've got a PC "graveyard" out in my garage. P1's, P2's, a pair of 496's and a really old 386. Two old monitors that still work, but don't really fit on my desk. I think I even have a dot matrix printer somewhere. Buncha crap, but it all still works.
Glad you got your's up and running!

As for CPS, they don't have enough "C's" to stand against the CCCP.
what is CCCP?
-conbo
I think my mom thinks Obama is god's candidate. Oh, well. Progress is progress, I guess.
I try not to talk politics with her any more. I am to hotheaded about things, and I wind up mad at her, which is pointless. I said some pretty evil shit to her around the '04 elections. Was not cool of me, whether she was right or not.
---
I wouldn't call it mean, either, #. It used to piss me off something fierce when I would see people that were good at nothing but b.s.-ing "getting ahead". This great sense of "THAT'S NOT FAIR!", I guess.
It doesn't really bug me as much now. I guess I revised my idea of what "getting ahead" meant.
CCCP is USSR in Russian.

//It doesn't really bug me as much now. I guess I revised my idea of what "getting ahead" meant.//
yeah. I should forgive her.
It is hard when you can't read very well, and she has done very well for herself.
Better than me...so who is smarter, really?
:)
I just have no drive. Honestly. Notta. I got my job by accident. I went to the interview because one of my friends was interviewing too and needed moral support. We both got the jobs. I am still in shock. I have great health insurance and free school, but you know I am a slacker.

Talking about TV, when I was young TV's were only just getting started. Only the rich had them. I think we got our first TV when I was 8. It had a round screen. There was 12 hours of programing and then we got the Indian Screen and static. Every day, when programming started again, the first thing on the TV was a US flag and they played the National Anthem.
This is what my first tv looked like:
LINK
I was a slacker until I figured out that I could just say that I was rebelling against hyper-consumption and wage slavery. Sounds cooler that way. ; )ere I
Seriously, though. I had a good job in an industry that is booming right now, great benefits, and a good schedule. I quit to take a job making 50% less money, and have never regretted it. I' get tired of being broke sometimes, and then I remind myself of where I've been.
I'd rather be broke and happy than well paid and miserable.
I do miss the insurance, though!
I wish I had a TV that looked like that.
That would rock!!!!
-conbo
My grandma has one of those, toniD!
She's gonna let me turn it into a fishtank the next time I'm down there. Have been thinking of making it into that or a PC chassis.
Weird.
I don't know where that "ere I" came from either.
//I do miss the insurance, though!//
The only reason i haven't walked off the job is because of my son.
Honestly. i am sick of the place. I would be much happier working at a coffee shop.
My job is not hard, but so political. F'CKD up shit is constantly happening. Recently the president of the college was fired because he was using the school's funds for taking private vacations. It was quite the media show. Sheriff Joe even came in and personally took the evidence 'file cabinets.' The place was crawling with cops.
My supervisor is a moron who doesn't know anything about libraries but got the job because he promised to whip us up into shape...we are a problem department 'cause we complain about how the library funding is used and envoke our union on the drop of a hat. Ha! We have finally broken our supervisor down...he is on to greener pastures.
My lord, if I could I would have quit eons ago. That place is circus-circus.
here is the wiki on my job:
please note contreversary and scandal
-conbo
Wish I still had that TV. Tell your grandma that it's worth mucho bucks today, WFC. If it is still in good shape it might be worth about $50,000.
connie & waiting
: )
I know discussing your workplace online is a big no no
but If I were to be fired it would be the best thing that has ever happened to me!
I would be forced to do something different
-conbo
That's funny. I went from my cubicle job to a job for a coffee company. I have a legend for being the best warehouse manager/stock driver they've ever had. Too bad they don't pay shit, but, oh well.
Did you have anything to do with the wiki entry? : )
My mom worked some shitty jobs to make sure we did all right. It may be small reward, but your son will thank you some day.
Hi Ono!
how are you?
I was hoping you'd pop by...

Bush: Gonzales 'honorable and honest' By JENNIFER TALHELM, Associated Press Writer
2 hours, 29 minutes ago
President Bush again came to Alberto Gonzales' defense Saturday, saying the attorney general is "honorable and honest" and has his full support.
During a joint press conference with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at the Camp David presidential retreat, Bush defended Gonzales against charges he has not been forthcoming enough about his role in the firing of federal prosecutors.
"He is providing documents for Congress to find the truth. He will testify in front of Congress. And he will tell the truth," the president said. "I will remind you there is no credible evidence there has been any wrongdoing."
A Republican congressman on Saturday urged Gonzales to resign, citing what he said were Gonzales' contradictory statements about his role in the firing of eight federal prosecutors.
"I trusted him before, but I can't now," said five-term Rep. Lee Terry (news, bio, voting record), whose district includes metropolitan Omaha.
Gonzales' credibility took a blow this past week during testimony by his former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Sampson, who resigned March 12, said the attorney general was regularly briefed about plans to fire the prosecutors and was involved with discussions about "this process of asking certain U.S. attorneys to resign."
Lawmakers impatient to hear Gonzales' side of the story said the embattled attorney general needed to explain himself quickly or risk more damage to his department. Gonzales is to testify on Capitol Hill on April 17.
"My views were that this was Democrat posturing and a witch hunt," Terry said. "My trust in him in that position has taken a hit because of these contradictory statements by him."
Terry's change of heart came on the first day of a two-week break for House members and Republicans hoped to avoid spending much of that time on the defensive about Gonzales.

that's not a real tv, toni
it's a cartoon tv
similar to our 1st tv when i was a kide
it was just a picture of a tv & we stared at that
and every week we'd throw it in the bin and draw a new one
the neighbours thought we were rich
"you guys must be made of paper"
LMAO
That's beautiful, ono. : )

Damn, I'll tell her to see if it's worth anything, toniD. Never even occurred to me that it would be valuable.

I am never very specific about my workplace online. Paranoid, I guess.
Finding a decent job is a pain in the ass.
i don't stay awake thinking about david hicks
i'm more of a free chubby-bubba guy
Well
I honestly WANT TO BE FIRED
but no matter what I do, I never am
It's quite interesting

I guess I have to figure out how to steal money from the college for private vacations...that sounds like too much work tho

Have to watch this...
Catherine Crier has some really good monologues at the end of her show and this was one of them. She takes a look at Bush's abuse of power
Download (3528) | Play (3154) Download (1401) | Play (2014)
Crier: In the last six years this President has assumed more power than any President in history…
Crier: How about the other matters in the King's court…Former WH counsel Harriet Miers would now be a Supreme Court justice. Michael Brown would still be head of FEMA because as you know he did a " heckofajob." Donald RUmsfeld would still be Secretary of Defense because of his marvelous handling of the Iraq war. And former gay prostittute Jeff Gannon, a mysterious member of the WH press corp. might now be sitting in Helen Thomas's seat….
She uses some really good video clips of Bush to make her point—and that includes the press…She covers the Attorney scandal and goofs on Rove.
