VIEWS FROM THE FUSE: NOT-SO GREAT EXPECTATIONS
The American consumer is cautiously looking over the rim of their rose-colored glasses and holding on tight to their pocketbook…at least for the time being.
The Expectations Index, a predictor of consumer spending, fell to its lowest point since August this month. Additionally, the Consumer Sentiment Index has fallen for three months in a row, based mainly on inflation fears, rising commodity prices, and a flailing housing market.
Although minutes from the Federal Reserve's March meeting showed that central bankers expect core inflation to gradually subside, they still cite "uncomfortably high" inflation readings as their biggest concern for the U.S. economy.
Apparently, so does the average citizen. The University of Michigan report that was released Friday showed that Americans have raised their outlook for inflation to a rate of 3.3% from the previous 3%.
Forbes.com reports: "Inflationary expectations have the ability to influence actual inflation, since workers fearing higher prices are likely to demand compensatory raises and investors will want interest rates that compensate them for the risk that their dollars will have reduced purchasing power when their bonds mature."
lol, the spider bait was misdiagnosed...

"Also tightening on American's purse strings is the news that home prices may fall 20% due to the rising amount of defaults on subprime and Alt-A loans. Some experts predict that as many as 40 percent of these loans could default, causing more than just a ripple throughout the U.S. economy.
"It would be the biggest housing-price decline since the Great Depression," said Kenneth Heebner, manager of the top-performing real estate fund over the past decade.
"That would leave home prices at levels last seen in 2003 and 2004, the middle of the boom that lifted prices to a record in 2005."
Which spells trouble for everyone who has refinanced in the past few years…the price of your house has gone down - but you still owe all of the money:"

WHY WERE THE U.S. ATTORNEYS FIRED?: On March 7, Gonzales wrote in a USA Today op-ed that the fired prosecutors had lost his "confidence." He added that they were ousted "for reasons related to policy, priorities and management." But in private interviews with staff members on the House and Senate Judiciary committees, Michael Battle, former director of the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, confirmed that he was "not aware of performance problems with respect to several" of the prosecutors when he called to fire them. While under oath in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sampson insisted, "I did not have in mind any replacements for any of the seven who were asked to resign." But a new e-mail released to the House Judiciary Committee shows that on Jan. 9, 2006 -- a year before the prosecutors were fired -- Sampson recommended replacements for almost every one of the U.S. attorneys on the administration's hit list, suggesting that these prosecutors were fired to make way for partisan loyalists. One of the suggested replacements was Rachel Brand, who has been serving in the Office of Legal Policy (OLP) since June 2005. She helped push through the Bush administration's controversial Supreme Court nominees, and ran the "murder boards" for Alito, Miers, and Roberts. Brand was also a member of the right-wing Federalist Society. At her May 2005 OLP nomination hearing, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) said of Brand: "[S]he brings very little depth of experience to a position that is instrumental in setting out DOJ priorities and recommending new judges."

crnkrs disowned Aussie brother.
the one with the tattoos and leather clad babes.
HOW INVOLVED WAS THE WHITE HOUSE?: As more documents have emerged, it has become clear that the White House was involved in the prosecutor purge. In his opening testimony, Gonzales plans to state, "I also told him [Sampson] to make sure that the White House was kept informed since the U.S. Attorneys are presidential appointees." But it is still impossible to get a full picture of the White House's involvement because the it has refused to make top officials available for sworn testimony, and has lost more than five million e-mails generated between March 2003 and Oct. 2005. Even though the Republic National Committee claims it began archiving e-mails in 2004, the Committee said there appear to be no records from White House senior political adviser Karl Rove until 2005, leaving open "the possibility that Rove had personally deleted the missing e-mails." New reports show that President Bush may have personally approved the firing of U.S. attorney David Iglesias, who received calls from Sen. Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM) pressuring him to speed up a prosecution of Democrats before the Nov. 2006 election. At some point after the election, Domenici called Rove "and told him he wanted Iglesias out and asked Rove to take his request directly to the president." Domenici and Bush then had a conversation about Iglesias, which occurred "sometime after the election but before the firings of Iglesias and six other U.S. attorneys were announced on Dec. 7." "Really good attorney generals go out of their way to keep appearances straight as well as realities," said Philip Heymann, a Harvard law professor and former deputy attorney general under Janet Reno. "I think something serious has been going on, and I think it's terribly important that it come out. If politicians were going to the White House and saying they didn't want this or that case brought, and the White House was letting the U.S. attorneys know by firing them, it would be terribly immoral and destructive."

IRAQ -- MCCAIN, GRAHAM USED WAR CRITICS' STRATEGY TO PRESSURE IRAQI GOVERNMENT: Echoing Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) Iraq speech last week, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) defended the Iraq escalation yesterday morning on Fox News and said that Congress's efforts to set a withdrawal timeline would do nothing to pressure the Iraqi government to reach a political reconciliation. But as the New York Times revealed, when McCain and Graham sat down for dinner with Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki during their recent visit to Baghdad, they conveniently used those very calls for withdrawal from Congress as a means to "motivate the Maliki government:" "'So how do you motivate the Maliki government? Well, one of the ways is go sit down and have dinner with him like Lindsey Graham and I did last week,' [McCain] said. ... 'We're telling you, there's been votes in both houses of Congress which portend, unless the American people see measurable success, that we're going to be out of here,' Mr. McCain said, recalling the message he had delivered to the Iraqi leader. 'No matter whether I happen to agree with it or not.'" Yesterday on Fox News Sunday, Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) called out Graham and McCain for their double-talk in harshly attacking war critics publicly and then using the war critics' strategy behind closed doors. This is not the first time war proponents have noted that calls for decreased troop presence have aided in their strategy with the Iraqi government. In February, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice used the "restiveness in Washington" as part of her diplomatic strategy to increase pressure on the Iraqi government. Last month, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said he thought the "debate here on the Hill...[has] been helpful in bringing pressure to bear on the Maliki government."
LOST RNC E-MAILS COULD MEAN 'POSSIBLE DESTRUCTION OF EVIDENCE' IN ABRAMOFF PROBE: The Wall Street Journal reports today that "the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section is investigating connections between disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and the White House, a probe that may be affected by missing White House emails." Abramoff pleaded guilty in 2006 to charges of fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy to bribe public officials. According to lawyers involved in the case, he has been cooperating with federal prosecutors and FBI agents for more than a year regarding contacts between himself and White House officials, including Karl Rove. The Justice Department has made the potentially quid pro quo relationship a focus of their inquiry, though the White House denies that Abramoff ever "obtained official favors in exchange for giving Bush administration officials expensive meals and tickets to sporting events and concerts." Investigators on Capitol Hill are worried that "the loss of an undetermined number of emails concerning official White House business" on Republican Party e-mail accounts could include the "possible destruction of evidence relevant to the Abramoff-White House inquiry." While all of Abramoff's e-mail correspondence with the White House is said to have been preserved and turned over to prosecutors, it is unclear "to what extent Mr. Rove and others in the White House may have exchanged messages among themselves, or with others outside, pertaining to Mr. Abramoff, and whether any of these may have been erased." In 2006, the House Government Reform Committee revealed that Abramoff and his colleagues had billed their clients for over 400 contacts with White House officials between 2001 and 2004. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has placed the number of missing e-mails at "over five million."
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said he thought the "debate here on the Hill...[has] been helpful in bringing pressure to bear on the Maliki government."

April 16, 2007 -- Was President Clinton the target of a botched "inside job" assassination attempt? WMR has learned from a trusted source that the May 19, 1993 crash of a HMX presidential Marine One helicopter, part of the fleet that transports the President, his family, and top aides, may not have been an accident as determined in an official US Marine Corps Aircraft Mishap Board. The Marine Corps crew died in the crash near Nanjemoy in Charles County, Maryland. The helicopter had been reportedly been flying from the Marine Corps Air Facility in Quantico, Virginia to the staging base for Marine One helicopters at the Naval Air Station in Anacostia in Washington, DC.
After the crash, federal agents swooped in on the southern Maryland field where the aircraft went down and secured the area.
The Marine investigation concluded that two Load Demand Spindles (LDS) were installed incorrectly causing the crash. However, the maintenance records of the aircraft indicated that it had flown flawlessly for three weeks after the LDSs were installed correctly. The lead Marine investigator was General Anthony Zinni, the Deputy Commanding General of the U.S. Marine Corps Combat Development Command in Quantico, Virginia. Marine One helicopters are known for an almost perfect record when it comes to maintenance and accident avoidance. The threat of sabotage of all presidential vehicles -- ground and air -- is taken seriously by the Secret Service. The maintenance crews are carefully vetted. The fact that the crash was so deadly calls into question the original investigation and what the presidential travel schedule of the doomed aircraft was to be after its return to Anacostia. Our source claims there is ample evidence to conclude the Marine One helicopter may have been sabotaged.

April 16, 2007 -- One of our readers has identified the fact that the same two mail servers were used by the Republican National Committee and two Bush-Cheney 04 web sites: georgewbush.com and gwb43.com. The two mail servers are: 10 mailscan1.smartechcorp.net and 10 mailscan2.smartechcorp.net. The IP addresses for the two servers are: IP addresses are 64.203.97.101 and 64.203.98.245, respectively. Because they both have a "10" priority that means that they backed each other up.
Another reader contacted Sen. Patrick Leahy's office with detailed technical information on how to retrieve the missing e-mails from the servers involved in White House, Justice Department, and RNC inter-communications. That individual was given a brush-off by a Leahy staffer. If Leahy and his staff are waiting for the Bush administration to come up with the missing e-mails, they are sadly mistaken. Leahy's staff needs a course in what phone calls to pay attention to. In the case referred to above, he and his staff flunk the test for Computer Forensics 101.

Tourists Robbed in Room at Manhattan Hotel
After watching the Sunday shows, and of course having been plugged in to the story for the last 10 days, this thought bubbled to the surface: There was an early warning out there in the ether... remember the flap over Ann Coulter calling John Edwards a faggot? About a quarter of the papers that carried her column listened to their readers and dropped her from their pages, decided that enough was enough. I wonder if the Spocko episode is still in the memories of hate talkers. I would have to put that on the timeline as well. It will be interesting to watch where the fed-up feeling goes next.
I hope the effort to conflate the the casually nasty things radio talkers say with hip-hop lyrics falls flat; I wouldn't count on it, because shifting the blame, attempting to shift blame and attention away from one's own behavior is predictibly the first line of defense of someone caught crossing a line.

Discussing Imus, MSNBC's Jansing sugarcoated Coulter quote on converting Muslims
http://mediamatters.org/items/200704130009
On the April 13 edition of MSNBC News Live, host Chris Jansing gave viewers a truncated version of right-wing pundit Ann Coulter's post-September 11, 2001, comments about Muslims, claiming that Coulter "said they should all be converted to Christianity." In fact, a day after the 9-11 terrorist attacks, Coulter wrote in her syndicated column, published on September 13, 2001, in National Review: "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." She was later fired from the right-wing National Review Online as a result of those comments. Furthermore, as Media Matters for America has noted, in her book, How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter (Crown Forum, October 2004), Coulter wrote: "I am often asked if I still think we should invade [Muslim] countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. The answer is: Now more than ever!"
Jansing was discussing "what's OK to say" about religion and faith in the wake of CBS Radio and MSNBC's decision to fire Don Imus for calling the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos." After she mentioned Coulter's comment, Jansing then asked her guest, Rev. A.R. Bernard, founder and CEO of the Christian Cultural Center: "Do you think that sometimes, circumstances -- and in this case, it would be the feelings of people who were attacked on 9-11 in a post-9-11 world -- feel then it's OK to think differently about people and Islam?"
I just realized someone I know goes to Virginia Tech.
I got a message that he's ok, but no details.

The Amazing Revival of Gary Bauer (4/12)
Earlier this week, Gary Bauer of American Values, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, and Mark Earley of the Prison Fellowship, met with The Christian Science Monitor to discuss the candidates running for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination, among them John McCain:
And why is Sen. John McCain (R) of Arizona struggling in his second run for the presidency, despite his solid conservative voting record on social issues? It's all about a speech he delivered in 2000, in which he referred to two religious leaders – Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell – as "agents of intolerance."
Bauer says that comment was interpreted among social conservatives as an attack on them and their involvement in politics, not just on the two men named. "Obviously, he's more conservative on these social issues than Giuliani is, but there isn't anything comparable in Giuliani's rhetorical record where he went after Christian conservatives in a rhetorical way," Bauer says.
It is exceedingly odd that Bauer would cite McCain’s “agents of intolerance” remarks as the primary reason McCain is having so much trouble winning over the Right, considering that Bauer had defended McCain at the time.

Report: France warned CIA before 9/11 attacks Ron Brynaert
Published: Monday April 16, 2007
Former intelligence officials confirmed to the Associated Press Monday a Le Monde newspaper report that France's foreign intelligent service had heard about an al Qaeda plot which was "likely to involve a US airplane." The French paper also reported that France informed the Central Intelligence Agency prior to the attacks on September 11, 2001, in which nearly 3,000 were killed.
However, it is uncertain whether the intelligence was alluding to the specific plot hatched on 9/11.
The DGSE external intelligence service wrote a total of nine reports between September 2000 and August 2001 on Al-Qaeda threats against the US and passed all of them on to the Central Intelligence Agency's Paris bureau, the French newspaper reported.
Le Monde based its report on 328 pages of classified documents leaked by DGSE sources, showing that Osama bin Laden's network had been infiltrated by foreign agents long before the September 2001 attacks.
In a file dated January 5, 2001, also seen by AFP, the DGSE said it had learned of a plan to hijack a plane bound for the United States from Frankfurt in Germany and take it to Kandahar in Afghanistan.
Le Monde said that file was passed onto the CIA in January of the same year.
"Pierre-Antoine Lorenzi, the former chief of staff for the agency's director at the time, said he remembered the note and that it mentioned only the vague outlines of a hijacking plot — nothing that foreshadowed the scale of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks," the AP reports.

Deleted e-mails could prompt obstruction of justice charges for Rove, other White House officials Michael Roston
Published: Monday April 16, 2007
A major government watchdog organization has warned that White House officials, including Karl Rove, could face a number of obstruction of justice charges for the way they used outside e-mail accounts and failed to properly archive e-mails on White House servers.
"[Special Counsel Patrick] Fitzgerald could decide to reopen the case," said Melanie Sloan, Executive Director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, referring to the probe over who leaked the identity of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson. "And if it turns out that e-mail was deleted from the RNC server as suggested by the Waxman letter, that could lead to new obstruction of justice charges."
Sloan was referring to a letter written by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) to various executive agency heads last week that suggested "White House officials retained the ability to delete e-mails form the RNC server until as recently as this month."
The Waxman letter referred to top White House adviser Karl Rove specifically.
"The RNC does not have any e-mails prior to 2005 for Mr. Rove," the California Democrat wrote. "One possible explanation is that Mr. Rove personally deleted his e-mails from the RNC server."
In a Monday afternoon conference call, she also suggested to RAW STORY that the deletion of more than 5 million e-mails from White House servers, a separate matter from the deleted Republican National Committee e-mail archives, could lead to additional obstruction charges in other cases, such as that of convicted Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
