Hey Sammo how was the show as a listener?
Actually I already know that I am a listener...
How was it when you couldn't ask questions to the guests? were you thinking of questions and like damn I wish I was there...?
Posted by: Mel at July 22, 2004 03:49 AM
Ya know...I miss brockleys almanac...It's uproariously funny damn it!

Turbo was that supposed to be an E? it was kind of shaped like an E.
Posted by: Mel at July 22, 2004 03:55 AM
yeah that was Sam. when he called in he said he would be listening to the show from his rental car on Sirius
Posted by: Mel at July 22, 2004 03:56 AM
Well if it is Sam then he's probably trying to catch up on the blog...I wonder how the reading speed is coming ;)
"PART 5: The tongue of the mujahideen"
"Although he politely denies it, Sheikh Dhafer al-Ubeidi is the real leader of Fallujah and played an indispensable part in its resistance to US-led forces. His job is far from done, though, and nor the soldiers who guard the city in a variety of Saddam-era uniforms, and the harried policemen who want more money."

How about a contest..."posting contest" hehehe the winner gets to hang with Ross for a day ;P
Ok so that's a decidely wingnuttish strategy for winning but ya know...I can shovel shit as well as the next guy.

The country has already voted. John Kerry is the next President of the United States.
How? Well, he keeps breaking campaign funding records. People are voting with their wallets... and that fucking MEANS something kiddies!
Sure, he might just have the best damned campaign fundraisers ever! Think about that. Kerry? No way.
Sure, its the INTERNET! Think about that, too. Would that be the same internet where everything is hugely popular until it starts charging a buck and then they can't get hits to save their lives? No way.
No, its George W. Bush. Best Democratic fund raiser in history. People are involved. Involved to the point where they actually pull out their nearly maxed credit cards and give Kerry $20. Biggest problem his folks have had is literally raking it all in.
Election is all but over. No surer sign than the almighty dollar bill. Kerry won. Bush lost. Vote, but feel confident you're voting for a winner. Break out the booze. Get naked.

I had me uh dawg named Ol' Yeller. He wuz really white, but we pee'd on him a lot. And he was stinky. Then he died, and we cried, cuz it meant we dint have no dog to pee on, no more. And he was even more stinky.

"The Emerging Third Culture" which stated that "The third culture consists of those scientists and other thinkers in the empirical world who, through their work and expository writing, are taking the place of the traditional intellectual in rendering visible the deeper meanings of our lives, redefining who and what we are."

Posted by: Nobody
I face every pain with my face. When I'm done screaming, I wipe the blood out of my eyes, and bind the wounds with perspective and proportion. Those dry and set, and as they tighten, become sarcasm, until age and motion crumble the poultice into sheer slapstick.

SEDER I'm watching Da Ali G show... I know you said it was good but a lot of it goes over my head. Though right now he's interviewing an evangelist and I'm dying He's pretending to play gay and saying he's straight at the same time...

~~~ Fishy was impressed (or drunk) ~~~
No impressed. Haven't been neither high nor drunk since '86
And if you impressed me, you can play. Your accompaniment was rather bland. Makes me wonder what you could do with a more melodic and adventurous backup. I think that might just be grand. Give that sports car a mountain road!

Nobody... Sam Donaldson looked into the camera and said..."Mad props to the hood, yo."
How does he get these otherwise respected people to be interviewed by him.
I've never watched Da Ali G show before but I'll check it out again... he cracked me up on a couple of things to no end.
Posted by: Mel at July 22, 2004 04:36 AM
hey sammer love ya bro
can u give us de ability to
post new pages?
anna would like that
an me also
good to be on de road eh?
what do folks think?
Posted by: Sunshine Jim at July 22, 2004 04:37 AM
Sam,
News reader on tonight's show (wouldn't amount to a bump on Crowley's ass) finally gave the US Military Deaths in Iraq their due on the hour 2 break. It was good. Good for us... and them poor fellas over there deserve it.
Hope they keep it up. Don't expect any other media to.
Posted by: Fishgrease at July 22, 2004 04:37 AM
"Sam Donaldson looked into the camera and said..."Mad props to the hood, yo."
Oh god that's a funny thing to imagine...I've seen more crazy brilliance in the last few months in total than in the last few years...
Maybe just maybe...the balance has finally begun to shift as that great liberal behemoth awakens?

Not in this open-threaded format. Finding yer kin would be next to impossible.
Posted by: Fishgrease at July 22, 2004 04:39 AM
I agree with Fishy on the multithreading...although I also agree with J that there needs to be some partioning which I think is coming but in what form we'll have to wait and see...

Actually, I ain't kidding. An international appeal to liberals everywhere to send any help they can, especially MONEY, might be wise. They expect us to beat the republicans? The repubs have HOW MUCH money? We need help. Time for good and decent people everywhere to kick in and help us beat down EVIL!
Posted by: JIK at July 22, 2004 04:51 AM
Ya J I know but having someone pay attention to the blog even if only to put up a new thread foments a bit more connection, integration...
even if only on the emotional level...
No one's even noticed the NEW thing that has been created here...now others might try and do radio show + blog but you can be damned sure it doesn't flow like this one and it doesn't connect like this one and it doesn't weld us all together like this one.
I defy anyone to show me a place that compares.

I think the point of the second thread/blog for articles and stuff is to keep them from getting washed out and allow for freer communication on the "chat" thread...
However...if the topics all go to the article thread what we gonna talk about?
if you mean that there should be an archival article thread then I'm for it...
I wouldn't mind too much double posting...
hrm...I gotta go look at the example so it's fresh in my mind...
Posted by: Nobody at July 22, 2004 05:07 AM
not so much a function of OT here, more about creating a distilled resource for those just stopping by.
I imagine that all "posts" in blog 2 (as opposed to comments) would be replicated in the comments of blog one - manually or automatically.

Posted by: at July 22, 2004 05:09 AM
Yeah SEDER but the way it is now your show and your blog are why I listen...
Listen I'm not a talk radio person and hell I'm not much of a blogger but your combination has ensnared me into being one of you guy's biggest fans... I listen everyday I blog everyday, because I can follow along on both and it's a lot of fun and it's informative.
If you split and have info on one and pandemonium on the other well then each blog is only half as good...
again most of this goes over my head.

What needs done needs done with human supervision...constant...you can't do it you've got more important things to do...
Or are you thinking of encapsulating top of blog post with links and such...
building a reference area?...
Lord knows I could post 20-30 a day easy...who's gonna keep me alone from burying everything...blah...what a puzzle
Posted by: Nobody at July 22, 2004 05:11 AM
the thing about second blogs is this...
from someone who wants to be inexperienced in this case...
only have a second run-off blog... the main channel needs to maintain a main channel...but can allow some movement...of all aar shows, randi's is the only one that i dont seem to check out... and i think it's because of the format...although i'm sure its properly sufficient once used to it... - to many thread topics---no obvious main channel...i think...or maybe i'm remembering an alternative randi universe or something....
Posted by: 13ben at July 22, 2004 05:13 AM
please remember we're just spit balling here.
like the idea of thinking of it conceptually as an archive.
mel- agreed, in my mind should not affect the existing show/blog dynamic- definitely don't want to mess with that.
Posted by: SEDER at July 22, 2004 05:13 AM
well hrm...if you're going to automate it then you need some sort of key so a script could parse it...some key phrase to be added to the header of newsy posts....
that will be abused at first but if there is soem ban policy the amusement will wear off quick until bans need not be applied no longer...

Okay if you're saying something that archives the topical articles and links and weeds out the nonsense but leaves it as is on the main blog then sure as long as it doesn't waterdown the main blog.
I think the main blog with it's trolls and no nics and idiots and Patrioterer et al is more representative of your audience than you want it to be. We are idiots and nobodies but I think most of us can extract the hard news from the bullshit.
Posted by: Mel at July 22, 2004 05:16 AM
used as an archive/multiple thread blog or evolved into something better - that can been seen...
sure you're on to something seeder....

Suggestion:
a.Showblog
b.Deep Background Blog
and maybe some icons for the top of the post, like for OT posts, DS (dumb stuff), and just for me, UIATU (utterly idiotic and totally unacceptable).
oh, and a nice TROLL icon for the lost boys.

a tagline sam...a key phrase that a script can parse out...
it goes through the blog with a simple search until it finds
"-=Majority Report=-"
then copies that into the second thread for archival...
It's one of the first things a programmer learns how to do...very simple

Oh quit pansyfrooting around the old dead gray goose, Sam. You're talking about a weekly or daily e-zine, culled from the blog. But you have neither the time nor the inclination, and we do, so why don't we grab Mickey and Judy and head down to the barn and put on a zine, right?

Okay... again maybe this is all over my head...
but if you're saying something like a reader's digest version of the blog then I'm saying you might as well just take seven bloggers from you guys site and duplicate their posts onto another sheet... we know who they would be and so does everybody and maybe that would be easier when... I don't know YOU are browsing through the blog and want to touch on the highlights.

The E-Zine solution has different advantages. It could be culled from the Blog without disrupting the blog; it could include short audio and even video archives; it could be sent out like a newsletter; it could be added to by the other shows, for a comprehensive synopsis; and it would help organize the best of the blog into sections, including a troll wrangler's roundup (for them as wut likes that sorta moosepoop).

"I think we'll have to work our way up to that"
If I wanted to spurt my weekend, I could edit a zine for last month from the archives. Someone else would have to help with layout, and I'd need to slam together an art team, but prep-time with ready content is about 2 weeks, to have everything set up and ready to roll on a regular beastie. Less, if there's $ on the table. 2 weeks, for a proper listener sponsored effort. Hell, finding good sales people to hawk ad space is usually harder than putting together a volunteer staff.

de blogger is
a checkpoint
along the path to telepathy -
telepathy best visualized in
the human as
the ability
to consciously interact with other humans in
the dreamtime and create vehicles of travel in that dreamtime
13x20 movement-x-measure
tone-x-frequency 13x20
what magnetizes
to de blogger checkpoint - is not de blogger
but our own energies - energies that have been refined
without de blogger - so the checkpoint
is passing thru
the AA MIDWAY STATION
realizing the path
you've traveled
has brought
you here - the other ourselves
enjoy it
but don't forget to travel onward
the AA MIDWAY STATION is self-existing
and always there
as a checkpoint
to our actualization of the human...

And Arakeen, in the high desert.
And the City of Barsoom... wherever...

hololabs for the first nations. flatlens holography. solar collection cloth. photonic computing. true color LCD, layered in polarized holoflats.
and new quickbreads.
The vanilla fondant variety of "white chocolate" is nice in a quickbread, but only for sweetness and flavor, it does nothing for or against the texture, because the stuff melts into the loaf. But in conjunction with the unsweetened shredded (not grated) coconut and walnuts, it really works in a pear-mandarine orange loaf.

Y'know, Health communities for drug abuse and physical and mental trauma recovery.
Serentity communitites for the people who can't or won't cope with the modern world. The homeless who want to be left alone, and would live somewhere if they could cope.
Plain ol' communities for justliving and working in, but with sensible sustainable ecology and economy.

Klein will move state forward
--------------------------------
As a young boy growing up in the Bronx, I used to walk past Guy Vellela’s office near Yonkers Avenue and wonder what a state senator did. Now that I am a Westchester resident years later and involved with the grassroots it’s important to know what they do in office, and how they run a campaign. Enter Jeff Klein a chance to move progress forward in the 34th. First, Jeff is a real democrat he’s not going to run on every single party line like his competitor because he believes in his party and what we stand for. If you run for the lines of two major parties then you are beholden to more than just the Democratic Party. We cannot have a state senator playing both sides of the fence. Jeff Klein also knows that if we ever want to increase funding for education, and increase the minimum wage, we have to take back NY from the Republicans who run it.
Before we can remove Pataki we need to shore up the rest of state government. As an assemblyman Jeff has found out about the chain store pharmacies that over charge for prescription drugs. He has also authored the states do not call registry to push back over zealous telemarketers. Jeff Klein has stood up for the community when he got supermarkets to receive annual inspections and post the results. As New Yorkers we can do better and we must. Let Jeff Klein lead the way to change.

DLux, you can hope and cast spells and chant and beg the universe, or you can do it the old fashioned pain-in-the-ass tried and true way. Auditions.
Make it fun for yourself, and make it easy. Start by talking to people who teach the instruments you need. They often need a jam release after teaching people who may or may not have any talent.
When considering members, ask youself "what can this little fukwit be the GOD of, so he doesn't stomp the delicate feelies of his fellow purile MUSICAL GODS?" because it helps if the division of divinity is established early on.
If you put out adds, tell them to wear their best stage costume. That alone is usually worth several good laughs. Then make them sign a release on the audio and video tapes of the auditions.

MEMORANDUM TO: OPINION LEADERS
FROM: WILLIAM KRISTOL
SUBJECT: CFR Report on Iran
One has to hand it to the Council on Foreign Relations. Just as Iran has spent the last several months reconfirming why it was a charter member of the "axis of evil," a CFR taskforce, led by former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski and former DCI Robert Gates, has concluded that the time is now ripe for a policy of "engagement" with Iran. This, in spite of the fact that:
Iran continues to tell the International Atomic Energy Agency - along with the British, Germans and French - to stuff it when it comes to Tehran's nuclear weapons program.
Iranian officials, caught red-handed in New York photographing likely terrorist-targets, were expelled from the United States.
Iranian intelligence agents were caught in Iraq building car bombs and are now assisting Iraqi radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's efforts to rebuild his militia.
Iran's hard-line clerics and revolutionary guards have eliminated virtually all remaining reformist elements from the government over the past year.
Iran apparently has had and continues to have a working relationship with bin Laden's al Qaeda. Indeed, if the 9-11 commission report is accurate, Tehran might well have been involved in both the 1996 Khobar Towers attack and in 9-11. Furthermore, Iran today harbors senior al-Qaeda leaders.
And, today, the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz reports that the head of Israeli military intelligence research has warned the Knesset defense committee that Iran might well give non-conventional weapons, such as chemical weapons, to Hizballah, the Iranian-backed terrorist organization.
We do need a coherent, serious policy toward Iran; one of containment, pressure, accountability and, ultimately, regime change. If the CFR report helps force a real debate on Iran policy and encourages the Bush Administration not simply to kick the can down the road until after election day, it will have (inadvertently) performed a service.

DIVE off the window sill, hastily placing a jar of iced coffee underneath me,
just in time,
every time
once I'm in the yard, Siege Perilous doesn't look nearly as large
as it does from the inside
from my little room in the attic
if I were a man or magus I could leave this place,
Returning only for ritual and rite.
i'm a where, and this is my home.

it came from that tree over there.
I don't know what it does.
Everything does something, around here.
I'm lying, of course, I know exactly what it does.
Don't worry, it's not knowledge of good and evil.
I think it might be "slightly skewed fashion sense" or "excessive pre-post-modern affectation of good cheer". Or "beer farts".

My aching heart would bleed for you to see
Oh, but now
I don't find myself bouncing home
Whistling buttonhole tunes to make me cry
No more I love you's
The language is leaving me
No more i love you's changes are shifting
Outside the words
The lover speaks about the monsters
I used to have demons in my room at night
Desire, despair, desire
So many monsters
2-No more i love you's
The language is leaving me
No more i love you's
The language is leaving me in silence
No more i love you's
Changes are shifting outside the words
And people are being real crazy
And you know what mommy?
Everybody was being real crazy
And the monsters are crazy.
There are monsters outside

Outside the words

Mark Maron just acted like a total asshole about the chicken torture video. He excused the workers as having bad jobs, and so what if they "spit" on them (spit chewing tobacco in their eyes and mouths) and "stepped" on them (stomped them to death). What an asshole, who's bright idea was it to hire him for AAR? He doesn't get liberalism if he thinks animal abused can be excused as a joke.

Guards left Berger alone, sources say
Ex-security adviser reportedly told monitors to violate rules as he took breaks, took files.
By James Gordon Meek
New York Daily News
Washington — Former national security adviser Sandy Berger repeatedly persuaded monitors assigned to watch him review top-secret documents to break the rules and leave him alone, sources said Wednesday.
Berger, accused of smuggling some of the secret files out of the National Archives, got the monitors out of the high-security room by telling them he had to make sensitive phone calls.
Guards were convinced to violate their own rules by stepping out of the secure room as he looked over documents and allegedly stashed some in his clothing, sources said.
"He was supposed to be monitored at all times but kept asking the monitor to leave so he could make private calls," a senior law enforcement source told the Daily News.
Berger also took "lots of bathroom breaks" that aroused some suspicion, the source added. It is standard procedure to constantly monitor anyone with a security clearance who examines the type of code-word classified files stored in the underground archives vault.
The same archives monitors told the FBI Berger was observed stuffing his socks with handwritten notes about files he reviewed that were going to the Sept. 11 panel. It is prohibited to make notes about the secret files and leave with them without special approval.
Berger's attorney, Lanny Breuer, has denied the allegation that Berger hid papers in his socks.

Broad-based growth
In testimony to Congress on US monetary policy, Mr Greenspan said the US economy had enjoyed broad-based growth so far this year.
Growth was likely to increase in the second half of the year, he said, while indicators were favourable that inflation would be contained.
He said: "Economic developments have generally been quite favourable in 2004, lending increasing support to the view that the expansion is self-sustaining."
Consumer spending had slowed in recent months, Mr Greenspan noted, as a result of a rise in inflationary pressures, in turn brought about by the surge in energy prices.
But Mr Greenspan said he believed this would be "short-lived".

U.S. marines kill 25 insurgents in Iraq clashes
25 detained
Paul Garwood
Associated Press
Thursday, July 22, 2004
BAGHDAD (AP) -- U.S. marines killed 25 insurgents and captured 25 others in fierce fighting on Wednesday in Ramadi, a hotbed of insurgents battling U.S. and Iraqi forces, the military said Thursday.
The daylong clashes in Ramadi, 110 kilometres west of Baghdad, wounded 14 U.S. servicemen, but none sustained life--threatening injuries and 10 have returned to duties. Seventeen insurgents were also injured, according to a U.S. marines statement obtained by The Associated Press.
On Thursday, Iraqi police and intelligence forces raided several buildings in downtown Baghdad's Haifa Street, the scene of clashes earlier this month that killed four Iraqis and injured 20.
Interior Ministry official Sabah Khadum said Iraqi police and intelligence forces arrested 200 people, including several "non--Iraqi Arabs," during the Haifa Street operation and discovered a huge cache of weapons. U.S. and Iraqi officials have long complained of fighters entering Iraq from neighbouring countries to battle coalition forces.

Now, once you accept reality for what it is, what you see if your vision is clear and your eyes open, you come to realize that there's no one in charge. Let me repeat that - nobody is in control of anything. Not Jesus, the police, or the CIA. Not the pope or Karl Rove. ( Don't tell him I said that, he he).
I am Shiva, destroyer of forms, that new forms may erupt into life.
Whatever you think you know about what's really happening, you don't and can't and won't. The only difference between most of you and me - I don't waste my time trying to understand what it all means. That is why I am free and everyone else is analyzing my footprints. No one will ever figure out why I did the things I've done because there is no reasoning behind any of it.
Just rolls of the dice, all of it. What else is there?

U.N. inspectors will return to Iraq within days, IAEA chief says
By Sarah El Deeb, Associated Press, 7/20/2004 15:28
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) U.N. inspectors will return to Iraq in the coming days following an official invitation from the new government, the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency said Tuesday.
Mohamed ElBaradei, director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told reporters in Cairo that Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari had formally asked his agency to return.
The inspectors, who will continue their work to ensure that Iraq adheres with the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, will leave as soon as safety arrangements have been made, agency spokeswoman Melissa Fleming said from IAEA headquarters in Vienna, Austria. ElBaradei estimated they would depart in the next few days.
The inspectors would go to the Tuwaitha facility, 12 miles south of Baghdad, where they will ''do an inventory verification on the nuclear material remaining in Iraq,'' Fleming added.
Besides safeguards inspectors, the agency also had weapons inspectors in Iraq who searched for nuclear weapons under a mandate issued by the U.N. Security Council. Those inspectors left just before the war began in 2003.
The U.N. Security Council is to decide when the weapons inspectors can return. The agency repeatedly has said it wants to send them back to finish their job.

9/11 Panel Blames 'Institutional Failings'
Wed Jul 21, 7:14 PM ET
By HOPE YEN, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - The Sept. 11 commission's final report concludes the hijackers exploited "deep institutional failings within our government" over a long period but does not blame President Bush (news - web sites) or former President Clinton (news - web sites) for the mistakes, according to administration officials familiar with the findings.
The report, being released Thursday, describes the patience and determination of the hijackers and said they explored weaknesses in airline and border procedures, even taking test flights to see when cockpit doors were open.
White House officials and congressional leaders were briefed on the report's findings, and Bush is to receive a copy of the 575-page report on Thursday.
"It does not place blame on particular individuals or particular incidents, but in fact it identifies institutional failings that have grown up over time about the way our government is organized," one official said.
It concludes that Bush and Clinton took the threat of al-Qaida seriously and were "genuinely concerned about the danger posed by al-Qaida," the official said. It finds that neither president was to blame for failing to stop the attacks, which were the culmination of years of planning.
Less than four months before the presidential election, the commission's work already has ignited partisan debate over whether Bush took sufficient steps to deal with terrorism in the first year of his administration.

at the end, your eternal self takes the form of
shiva, Lord of renewal thru death
blue bodied and ten armed
with a necklace of skulls
but, with one hand in the gesture called
'fear not' (palm facing outward)
as a reminder that all this is in illusion and play
then, shiva dances the Tandava dance
the dance of fire in which the material world is destroyed
and the self returns to the state of pralaya
of peace,
uninvolvement,
pure bliss
...all of this goes on forever
through cycle after cycle after cycle after cycle
and not only in this universe
for this universe that we know
is but a spec of dust in another universe
and all the specs of dust in this universe
contain minute universes without measure
boundless into the atom
boundless into the whole
however vast, however incomprhensible
however terrifying this entire display may seem to be
it is at root your own inmost self
the self which you cannot see, nor touch
nor pin down or control
because its too close, too near
right in the middle of everything...
because its you
aum.

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, boy,
My heart said follow through
But I know now that I'm way down on your line
But the waiting feeling's fine.
So don't treat me like a puppet on a string
'Cause I know how to do my thing.
Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb,
I wanna know when you're gonna come.
See, I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
'Cause summer is here, I'm still waiting there,
Winter is here and I'm still waiting there.
Like I said, it's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more.
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy love ? I wanna know now
For I to knock some more. You see...
In life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief.
Tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn.
See, I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,
'Cause summer is here, I'm still waiting there,
Winter is here and I'm still waiting there.
Like I said, it's been three years since I'm knocking on your door
And I still can knock some more.
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy love ? I wanna know now
tears in my eyes burn, tears in my eyes burn
While I'm waiting, while I'm waiting for my turn, see
Ooh boy, ooh boy, is it crazy love ? I wanna know now
For I to knock some more.
In life I know there is lots of grief
But your love is my relief.

George Bush is too fundamentally decent to lie—what he thinks of the Federalists' most famous message: that the genius of the Constitution they were defending was that you needn't base your faith in the country on the fundamental decency of an individual, because no one can be trusted to be fundamentally decent, which was why the Constitution established a government of laws, not personalities.
"If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary . . . "
Conservatives see something angelic in George Bush. That's why they excuse, repress, and rationalize away so much.
And that is why conservatism is verging on becoming an un-American creed.

Paris Bank Is Subpoenaed In U.N. Oil-for-Food Probe
The U.N. Oil-for-Food program was set up in late 1996 to allow Iraq to sell oil to purchase food, medicine and other humanitarian goods. But it also provided wide latitude for corruption, allowing Saddam Hussein's government to pocket more than $4.4 billion in illegal payoffs before the United Nations relinquished control of the program to the United States-led coalition in May 2003, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.), chairman of the House Committee on Government Reform, ordered Banque Nationale de Paris to turn over "all records relating" to its handling of Iraqi funds. The documents are to be given to Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.), chairman of the subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations, who is leading a probe into the Oil-for-Food program.
U.N. officials have limited the release of documents to a U.N.-appointed investigator, Paul Volcker, the former chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, who is investigating alleged corruption and U.N. mismanagement. In April, the United Nations notified the bank and the two companies that a confidentiality agreement with the United Nations prohibited them from providing sensitive documents to congressional investigators.
Robert S. Bennett, a lawyer at the firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom who is acting as BNP Paribas's lead counsel, said the French bank has received the subpoena and is prepared to begin discussions with congressional staff members on the release of their documents. "We are going to fully cooperate and give them whatever they want," Bennett said. "We are not the target of any investigation."

'Fahrenheit 9/11' Making GOP Nervous As It Reaches Deeper Into American Mainstream
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa July 22, 2004 — Republicans initially dismissed "Fahrenheit 9/11" as a cinematic screed that would play mostly to inveterate Bush bashers. Four weeks and $94 million later, the film is still pulling in moviegoers at 2,000 theaters around the country, making Republicans nervous as it settles into the American mainstream.

From AP F9/11 story link above:
"Two senior Republicans closely tied to the White House said the movie from director Michael Moore is seen as a political headache because it has reached beyond the Democratic base. Independents and GOP-leaning voters are likely to be found sitting beside those set to revel in its depiction of a clueless president with questionable ties to the oil industry."

BOMBS COURTESY OF KOFI
By ARNOLD AHLERT
July 21, 2004 --
IT is the story that will not go away — and it makes a mock ery of those who insist the United Nations is a necessary component for "legitimacy" regarding virtually anything.
U.S. intelligence officials and congressional investigators have discovered a "link" between the U.N. Oil-for-Food program and the current insurgency campaign in Iraq.
Documents reveal that Saddam's regime ordered companies involved in the massive bribery scandal to wire kickback money into secret Iraqi bank accounts located in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Belarus, where it was either "laundered or converted into gold, and routed back to Iraq or into other accounts."
U.S. intelligence officials believe this illegal network of "bankers, front companies couriers and money-launderers" is not only still active, but also funding the Ba'athist guerilla groups.
Will the American public connect the dots? Will they begin to understand the absolute folly of assertions that the United States needs to "repair our image" with a world body trying to suppress the biggest financial scandal in the history of the world?
Every car bomb that explodes in Iraq is another reminder of the obscenity behind the notion that America must make "amends" with this collection of corrupt bureaucrats.
And our so-called "allies" like France, Germany and Russia? "Accomplices to murder" of innocent Iraqis and coalition forces might be a more accurate description for these bribe-taking bums.

Aristotle (384-322 BCE.)
Metaphysics
"When Aristotle articulated the central question of the group of writings we know as his Metaphysics, he said it was a question that would never cease to raise itself. He was right. He also regarded his own contributions to the handling of that question as belonging to the final phase of responding to it. I think he was right about that too. The Metaphysics is one of the most helpful books there is for contending with a question the asking of which is one of the things that makes us human. In our time that question is for the most part hidden behind a wall of sophistry, and the book that could lead us to rediscover it is even more thoroughly hidden behind a maze of misunderstandings."

Bigger Breasts for Free: Join the Army
1 hour, 19 minutes ago Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. Army has long lured recruits with the slogan "Be All You Can Be," but now soldiers and their families can receive plastic surgery, including breast enlargements, on the taxpayers' dime.
The New Yorker magazine reports in its July 26th edition that members of all four branches of the U.S. military can get face-lifts, breast enlargements, liposuction and nose jobs for free -- something the military says helps surgeons practice their skills.
"Anyone wearing a uniform is eligible," Dr. Bob Lyons, chief of plastic surgery at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio told the magazine, which said soldiers needed the approval of their commanding officers to get the time off.
Between 2000 and 2003, military doctors performed 496 breast enlargements and 1,361 liposuction surgeries on soldiers and their dependents, the magazine said.
The magazine quoted an Army spokeswoman as saying, "the surgeons have to have someone to practice on."

Bush Quashes GOP Deal on Tax Cuts' Life
By Jonathan Weisman
Washington Post Staff Writer

President Bush yesterday scuttled a Republican agreement to extend three expiring middle-class tax cuts for two years, deciding instead to push for a more costly five-year extension when Congress returns in September.

God said, 'Let us make man.' Why did not God say, 'Let us make manhood,' for it was manhood that Christ took? Man and manhood differ. Talking of man we mean a person; talking of manhood we mean human nature.

Owning Up to Abortion
By BARBARA EHRENREICH
Abortion is legal - it's just not supposed to be mentioned or acknowledged as an acceptable option. An article in The Times on Sunday, "Television's Most Persistent Taboo," reported that a Viacom-owned channel is refusing to run the episodes of a soap opera in which the teenage heroine chooses to abort. Even "Six Feet Under," which is fearless in its treatment of sexual diversity, burdens abortion with terrible guilt. Where are those "liberal media" when you need them?
You can blame a lot of folks, from media bigwigs to bishops, if we lose our reproductive rights, but it's the women who shrink from acknowledging their own abortions who really irk me. Increasingly, for example, the possibility of abortion is built right into the process of prenatal care. Testing for fetal defects can now detect over 450 conditions, many potentially fatal or debilitating. Doctors may advise the screening tests, insurance companies often pay for them, and many couples (no hard numbers exist) are deciding to abort their imperfect fetuses.
The trouble is, not all of the women who are exercising their right to choose in these cases are willing to admit that that's what they are doing. Kate Hoffman, for example, who aborted a fetus with Down syndrome, was quoted in The Times on June 20 as saying: "I don't look at it as though I had an abortion, even though that is technically what it is. There's a difference. I wanted this baby."
Or go to the Web site for A Heartbreaking Choice , a group that provides support for women whose fetuses are deemed defective, and you find "Mom" complaining of having to have her abortion in an ordinary abortion clinic: "I resented the fact that I had to be there with all these girls that did not want their babies."
Kate and Mom: You've been through a hellish experience, but unless I'm missing something, you didn't want your babies either. A baby, yes, but not the particular baby you happened to be carrying.
The prejudice is widespread that a termination for medical reasons is somehow on a higher moral plane than a run-of-the-mill abortion. In a 1999

Police Question N.J. Amtrak Passengers
1 hour, 12 minutes ago Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!
By WAYNE PARRY, Associated Press Writer
NEWARK, N.J. - A Washington-to-New York Amtrak train was detained for more than an hour Thursday morning while police questioned passengers, checked identifications and searched overhead luggage racks.
Dan Stessel, a spokesman for Amtrak, said there was "an active police investigation. Until it's wrapped up, we can't comment on it."
AP Sports Editor Terry Taylor, who boarded the train in Philadelphia, said the train was held in Newark Penn Station shortly after 8 a.m. and departed at 9:30 a.m. Taylor said no explanation was given, but an announcement thanked passengers for their patience.
Taylor said transit police officers came down the aisle of each car, asking to see the identification of each passenger and checking the information with small hand-held computer devices.
Police also searched overhead luggage compartments with a metal wand, and at least one police dog was brought aboard the train.
Police didn't allow anyone on or off the train, and the nearby platform was cordoned off with yellow police tape, Taylor said. A woman who was addressing passengers said anyone with a medical condition who needed to get off the train should speak to authorities.

Two Guilty of Canine Cocaine Smuggling Bid
2 hours, 16 minutes ago Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!
LONDON (Reuters) - Two Britons were found guilty on Wednesday of an elaborate plot to smuggle cocaine into the country by surgically implanting packets of the drug inside two Labrador dogs.
Gregory Graham, 27, and Kaye Chapman, 20, plotted to smuggle 1.3 kilograms of cocaine into Britain hidden inside the stomachs of golden Labrador Rex and black Labrador Frispa.
But the scheme was foiled when officials at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport became suspicious at the behavior of Rex and Frispa when they arrived from Colombia en route to London's Stansted Airport.
Rex was lively but a drugs package had burst inside Frispa and she was lying apathetically.
Dutch vets operated on the dogs, removing 11 cylindrical objects from Rex and 10 from Frispa, who later died.
Altogether the packets contained a total of 1.3 kilograms of cocaine.

Bush: Berger incident 'very serious' House committee will investigate
By Kevin Johnson
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON -- President Bush on Wednesday described the federal inquiry into Clinton White House national security adviser Sandy Berger's mishandling of classified documents as ''a very serious matter.''
Meanwhile, the FBI did not consider the incident to be a major threat to national security, a government official said.
Also Wednesday, the House Government Reform Committee announced it would launch a separate investigation into the matter.
Berger, the subject of a Justice Department investigation since October, said he inadvertently took from the National Archives versions of a classified memo that critiqued the Clinton administration's intelligence and security efforts for the period just before the millennium celebrations in late 1999.
Berger also has acknowledged removing his own handwritten notes about classified documents, a violation of the National Archives' rules. Agents conducted searches at Berger's home and office in January and February for counterterrorism documents missing from the Archives.

KBR's cash flow from Logcap ballooned under Cheney's tenure, jumping from $144m in 1994 to more than $423m in 1996, and the Balkans was the driving force. By 1999, the army was spending just under $1bn a year on KBR's work in the Balkans. The GAO issued a report in September 2000 charging serious cost-control problems in Bosnia, but KBR retains the contract to this day.
Meanwhile, Cheney was busy developing Halliburton's business in other parts of the world. "It is a false dichotomy that we have to choose between our commercial and other interests," he told the [public policy research foundation] Cato Institute in 1998, speaking out against economic sanctions levied by the Clinton administration against countries suspected of terrorist activity. "Our government has become sanctions-happy," he continued.

War Funds Dwindling, GAO Warns
Pentagon Needs Billions More This Year in Iraq, Afghanistan
By Jonathan Weisman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, July 22, 2004; Page A01
The U.S. military has spent most of the $65 billion that Congress approved for fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and is scrambling to find $12.3 billion more from within the Defense Department to finance the wars through the end of the fiscal year, federal investigators said yesterday.
The report from the Government Accountability Office, Congress's independent investigative arm, warned that the budget crunch is having an adverse impact on the military as it shifts resources to Iraq and away from training and maintenance in other parts of the world. The study -- the most detailed examination to date of the military's funding problems -- appears to contradict White House assurances that the services have enough money to get through the calendar year.
Already, the GAO said, the services have deferred the repair of equipment used in Iraq, grounded some Air Force and Navy pilots, canceled training exercises, and delayed facility-restoration projects. The Air Force is straining to cover the cost of body armor for airmen in combat areas, night-vision gear and surveillance equipment, according to the report.
snip
Democrats quickly pounced on the report, charging that the Bush administration is turning a blind eye to military funding issues to avoid adding to the overall budget deficit or conceding that the Iraq operations are off-course.
"George W. Bush likes to call himself a wartime president, yet in his role as commander in chief, he has grossly mismanaged the war on terrorism and the war in Iraq," contended Mark Kitchens, national security spokesman for Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry. "He went to war without allies, without properly equippi

Fewer Army Recruits Lined Up
Manpower Concerns Raised as Pool Shrinks to Three-Year Low
By Thomas E. Ricks and Josh White
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, July 22, 2004; Page A02
The Army's pool of future recruits has dwindled to its lowest level in three years, worrying Pentagon officials as the service is being stretched by the unexpectedly difficult occupation of Iraq.
The Army watches the number of future soldiers in the "delayed entry" program -- those who have enlisted but have not been shipped to boot camp -- as a way to make sure it has enough recruits to keep training camps fully manned in the coming months.
That number has declined to about 23 percent of the number of recruits being shipped this year -- the lowest percentage in three years, said Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty, a spokesman for the Army's personnel office.
"It is an indicator that troubles us, but it isn't shocking," Hilferty said. He said Army officials believe that the situation is "cyclical" and is likely to recover.
The slippage, Hilferty said, reflects statistical factors more than a new reluctance among American youth -- the Army, he said, has expanded its training base, and so it can take in more recruits rather than making them wait for spaces to become available.

'Fahrenheit 9/11' Making GOP Nervous
http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/072304Z.shtml
"Des Moines, Iowa - Republicans initially dismissed "Fahrenheit 9/11" as a cinematic screed that would play mostly to inveterate Bush bashers. Four weeks and $94 million later, the film is still pulling in moviegoers at 2,000 theaters around the country, making Republicans nervous as it settles into the American mainstream.
"I'm not sure if it moves voters," GOP consultant Scott Reed said, "but if it moves 3 or 4 percent it's been a success."
Two senior Republicans closely tied to the White House said the movie from director Michael Moore is seen as a political headache because it has reached beyond the Democratic base. Independents and GOP-leaning voters are likely to be found sitting beside those set to revel in its depiction of a clueless president with questionable ties to the oil industry.
"If you are a naive, uncommitted voter and wander into a theater, you aren't going to come away with a good impression of the president," Republican operative Joe Gaylord said. "It's a problem only if a lot of people see it."
Based on a record-breaking gross of $94 million through last weekend, theaters already have sold an estimated 12 million tickets to "Fahrenheit 9/11." A Gallup survey conducted July 8-11 said 8 percent of American adults had seen the film at that time, but that 18 percent still planned to see it at a theater and another 30 percent plan to see it on video.
More than a third of Republicans and nearly two-thirds of independents told Gallup they had seen or expected to see the film at theaters or on video."

Running Low on Ammo
Military Turns to Overseas Suppliers to Cover Shortages
By Renae Merle
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, July 22, 2004; Page E01
The U.S. military has assembled the most sophisticated fighting arsenal in the world with satellite-guided weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles that shoot Hellfire missiles. But as billions of dollars have poured into the technology for futuristic warfare, the government has fallen behind on more mundane needs -- such as bullets.
The protracted conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan and heightened combat training with live ammunition have left the military short of small-caliber bullets. To offset the squeeze, the Army is taking unusual stopgap measures such as buying ammunition from Britain and Israel. It is also working to increase domestic production.
"The big complex programs don't do any good if there aren't bullets for the rifles," said Marcus Corbin, a senior analyst at the Center for Defense Information, a research group based in the District.
Shortages in basic battlefield gear struck soon after the start of the Iraq war, when combat forces outfitted in high-tech uniforms ran short of body armor and armored Humvees. The tight supplies of bullets reflect a shutdown of factories in recent years and the unexpected level of resistance in Iraq, industry analysts said. The Army relies on one plant for its small-caliber ammunition, sharply limiting its options.

The Pakistan connection
There is evidence of foreign intelligence backing for the 9/11 hijackers. Why is the US government so keen to cover it up?
Omar Sheikh, a British-born Islamist militant, is waiting to be hanged in Pakistan for a murder he almost certainly didn't commit - of the Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002. Both the US government and Pearl's wife have since acknowledged that Sheikh was not responsible. Yet the Pakistani government is refusing to try other suspects newly implicated in Pearl's kidnap and murder for fear the evidence they produce in court might acquit Sheikh and reveal too much.
Significantly, Sheikh is also the man who, on the instructions of General Mahmoud Ahmed, the then head of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), wired $100,000 before the 9/11 attacks to Mohammed Atta, the lead hijacker. It is extraordinary that neither Ahmed nor Sheikh have been charged and brought to trial on this count. Why not?

As Kirk Dillard becomes the latest to take himself out of the running for the GOP spot in November's race, many are wondering:
By John Chase and Liam Ford, Tribune staff reporters. Tribune political reporter Rick Pearson contributed to this report
Published July 22, 2004
Republicans keep promising a vigorous challenge to Democrat Barack Obama in November's U.S. Senate race--when and if they can find a candidate, that is.
The futility of that search intensified Wednesday when state Sen. Kirk Dillard, recently named DuPage County GOP chairman, became the latest in an ever-growing list of party luminaries to say "thanks but no thanks" to the prospect of becoming an emergency fill-in after primary winner Jack Ryan bowed out.
Dillard, a Hinsdale resident, said he opted not to run because he didn't want to ignore his new county party post and because he believed his position in state government had more impact on the lives of Illinois residents than would a position in the U.S. Senate. But most importantly, he said, running for the federal post would take him away from his wife and their two young daughters, ages 3 and 10 months.
"To me, family comes first over politics, especially with young children," said Dillard, 49. "Given a vote between being a dad and a U.S. senator, I would vote to be a dad any time."
The decision not only leaves the GOP without a candidate but also in the increasingly embarrassing position of having to scrounge ever-deeper into what is proving a thin bench of prospects to find one able to mount at least a respectable campaign in the less than four months to Election Day.
Dillard has plenty of big-name GOP company in shying away from what many in the party fear may prove a suicide mission, given Obama's popularity in opinion polls and the huge head start the Democrat has in fundraising and organization.

By Irwin Arieff
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The world is no safer than it was three years ago, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said on Wednesday, countering President Bush's claims he had made the world a safer place.
Annan, at a news conference, also criticized a Bush administration decision to withhold $34 million from the U.N. Population Fund, saying the agency was saving women's lives.
Annan's remarks could renew strains on ties between the United States and United Nations, which -- while devastated by Bush's inability to win U.N. backing for the U.S.-led war on Iraq -- had improved following U.N. help in setting up a new government in Baghdad in time for the U.S. occupation to end.
"No, I cannot say the world is safer today than it was two, three years ago," the U.N. leader said.
He was responding to a reporter who asked for comment on the Bush funding move and also whether Annan felt the world had become safer in the last two or three years.
Bush, who has launched two wars since moving into the White House in January 2001, repeatedly asserts in campaign swings ahead of the Nov. 2 presidential election that his policies are making the world safer.
"America is a safer place. Four more years and America will be safer and the world will be more peaceful," he said on Tuesday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
"The world is a safer and better place as a result of (Iraqi leader) Saddam Hussein not being in power," he told NBC Television in February.

Deep ... Deep Inside The Bohemian Grove
While grim boldface names like George H.W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, Dick Cheney, John Major, Alexander Haig, Alan Greenspan, Newt Gingrich, Jack Kemp, Colin Powell, and William F. Buckley, Jr., who carry the weight of the free world on their shoulders, urinate freely among the California redwoods (Ed Note: The Bohemian Grove is all male, because, like, everyone knows that girls have cooties), performing secret Bohemian Grove rituals, getting piss drunk, dolling up like Tououse-Lautrec girls, performing torch songs and Edith Piaf numbers, finally passing out in the great outdoors, a like the Masters of the Universe that they are, ahem, The Corsair cannot fail to note the curious homoerotic undertones (the woods, the drag, the torch songs) that such activities appear to suggest, especially coming from such a bastion on ultraconservative manliness.

The San Francisco Chronicle delves into the super-secret world of these preppy Boyz N the Woods:
"On Saturday, some 2,000 CEOs and politicos and arty types arrived at the cool redwoods and lily-choked lake of the Grove, the famous Russian River playground of the powerful Bohemian Club.
"They say it's the place to be seen in America in July. Except, of course, you can't see them."
Of course you can't playboy, because: "Signs abound: No Thru Traffic. No Trespassing. Members and Guests Only. No Turn Around. Sentries scan the paths from above with binoculars, helped out by infrared sensors."
The Corsair pitches forward, plowing through the X-Files vibe, on a very hush-hush strictly need-to-know basis:
"And what are those important men doing out there for 17 days behind that elaborate security?
Slipping into frocks and putting on pageants. The Bohemian Club, a beguiling mix of ultra-power hangout and high school play, is one of several elite private clubs in San Francisco, curious islands of conservatism amid a forest of Kerry for President signs."

The President Energizes Wisconsin Supporters to Reach Out to Neighbors, Get Involved
Mid-States Aluminum Corporation
Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin
But I also want to answer some of your questions, too. So I'll try to keep my remarks relatively short -- which is kind of hard to do. (Laughter.) First, I regret that Laura is not traveling with me.
AUDIENCE: Aaahh --
THE PRESIDENT: I know it, most people react that way. (Laughter.) It's kind of like, why didn't you stay home and let her come instead. (Laughter.) I'm a lucky man that -- you know, she was a public school librarian in Midland, Texas. And I asked her to -- when I asked her to marry me, fortunately, she said yes. And she's a great First Lady. She's done a terrific job. (Applause.) You know, I like to tell people that perhaps the best reason to put me back in there is so she'll have four more years as the First Lady. (Applause.)

My only regret, and I'm sure it's yours, as well, is that Laura is not traveling with me. No, I know, most people are wise enough to say, why don't you just go ahead and stay at home and let her carry the burden. (Laughter.) I was a lucky man when she said yes. She's a great lady and a fabulous First Lady for America. (Applause.) She's campaigning somewhere else, but today I am fortunate that one of our college graduates, one of our daughters is traveling with me. I'm really proud to introduce Barbara Bush. (Applause.) Made it out of college in four years. (Laughter.)

Yeah, later. Slept til noon the day before so I was sorta ready for it. I'll try to crash this afternoon and be up in time for the show. Don't wanna miss Tim Robbins. I think Tim and his Wife Susan feel a special sorta bond with Janeane. They were all bucking overwhelming public support for "The War on Terror" and risking their careers at about the same time. Wish I could say I supported them when they first started speaking out but that would be lying... something I can't do about something so important. Fact is, very few of us got behind Tim, Susan and Janeane when they started warning that this war was not all it was cracked up to be. I mean, who could have predicted that there would be no WMDs found in Iraq? Its easy to say now, in hindsight, that we knew it then... but these three people went on the record the better part of a year before the rest of us even started having suspicions.
I think Tim and Janeane get a warm fuzzy anytime they're in proximity. They certainly should.

Believe it or not, I had similar thought with Tim, Susan, and Jeneane. Problem was I had nowhere to express it. Even my family said, "We need to go to war and get Saddam". they were buying the whole thing for awhile.
I am so glad AAR got on the air. We needed this to bring the troops together. Gave everyone else the "balls" to do something about it.
I've written to congress uncountable times since AAR and I am sure others have too. I think it gave the Dems in Congress backing to start speaking up. They took their minority standing to literally.

Ralph Nader (AP)
Kerry's warning: Nader's a spoilsport
By Noelle Straub
Thursday, July 22, 2004
Democrat John F. Kerry [related, bio] yesterday admitted he won't be able to push independent firebrand Ralph Nader out of the presidential race but warned voters that backing Nader will just mean four more years of President Bush [related, bio].
Kerry, in network television interviews conducted in Boston, picked up Democractic criticism of Nader as spoiler.
Asked if he thought Nader would bow out, the Bay State senator simply said, ``No.''
But Kerry cautioned people not to ``waste their vote'' with Nader, because ``a vote for Ralph Nader will be a vote for George Bush.''
The comments are among the most critical yet by Kerry of Nader. The Democrat has mostly treated Nader with kid gloves, failing to join broad Democratic criticism and even meeting with Nader in Washington recently.
The comments come as yet another new national poll showed Nader continuing to hold a small but critical bloc of votes. The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press poll showed Kerry at 46 percent, Bush at 44 percent and Nader at 3 percent.
Democrats, pointing to Republican efforts to help finance Nader's campaign and get on the ballot in some states, said those voters are more likely to go Kerry than Bush.

The Guardian
The saga of "Jack" Idema, the American arrested for running a private interrogation centre in Afghanistan, took a new twist yesterday when he claimed that he was acting with the knowledge and agreement of Donald Rumsfeld's office.
Mr Idema, who has been accused of having a makeshift jail in which detainees were hung by their feet, claimed that US authorities "condoned and supported" his freelance activities.
"We were working for the US counter-terrorist group and working with the Pentagon and some other federal agencies," said Mr Idema, whose full name is Jonathon Keith Idema, before the opening of a court hearing in Kabul, according to Reuters.
He told reporters: "We were in contact directly by fax and email and phone with Donald Rumsfeld's office.

Sept. 11 Panel Cites Failures

Clinton 4, Bush 6. Both hold blame. However, I think if Clinton were still in office, we would have not had the mess we have now.
(CBS/AP) Years of failure across the federal government left the nation unprepared to thwart the Sept. 11 attacks, a federal commission reported Thursday.
On the morning of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000, "We were unprepared," commission chairman Tom Kean said at a press conference releasing the commission's report (.pdf, 7MB), which was agreed unanimously by the bipartisan panel.
The report blamed no individuals and proposed a major overhaul of the U.S. intelligence community. It found there was no "collaborative operational relationship" between Iraq and al Qaeda.
"The U.S. government was simply not active enough in combating the terrorist threat on 9/11," Kean said. U.S. agencies did not track known terrorists, share information, expand "no fly" lists to contain names from terrorist watch lists or involve border and airport security agencies in counter-terrorism policy.
"Our failures took place over many years and administrations. There is no single individual responsible for our failures," Kean said.
He pointed to the looming threat of future attacks.
"We do not have the luxury of time. We must prepare and we must act," Kean said. "We do believe we are safer today than we were on 9/11, but we are not safe."

SOCIALIST WORKER REPLIES:
A lesser evil is still an evil
WE’RE USED to hearing distortions and insults about Ralph Nader from the Democratic Party’s attack dogs, but not from Norman Solomon. But Norman has decided that nothing matters more than John Kerry’s victory over George W. Bush in November--so he’s joined the anti-Nader chorus.
Which is why he wants us to believe that Nader--after four decades of uncompromising liberal opposition to corporate power and political corruption--is turning his back on everything he’s ever stood for to jump in bed with the Republican Party.
Norman says that known Bush supporters have poured "tens of thousands of dollars" into the Nader campaign--as if Nader has been bought. As of the beginning of July, of the $1 million raised by Nader so far, $41,000 came from major Bush contributors, according to Business Week Online.
Does Norman believe that John Kerry hasn’t taken in more than 4 percent of his $182 million from corporate interests more accustomed to showering campaign donations on Republicans?
No one, Socialist Worker included, denies that Republican-connected organizations have taken some steps in some states to help Nader get on the ballot. These groups oppose Nader’s progressive politics, of course. They want Nader on the ballot for the same reason that Democrats want him off--because they figure he will hurt Kerry’s chances.
Norman should say as much--or, if he thinks otherwise, document examples of the Nader campaign collaborating with a Bush-connected organization. Likewise, while Nader can be criticized for seeking the endorsement of the right-wing Reform Party--as Socialist Worker has done--Norman should at least admit that Nader didn’t shift his overwhelmingly left-wing platform in doing so.
That’s more than Norman can say about Kerry. Every day brings a new article about the Kerry campaign’s strategy for appealing to conservatives and corporate interests--while remaining wholly "unconcerned about antagonizing his liberal supporters," as the Los Angeles Times put it.
Norman says that Nader is "accepting tactical alliances with xenophobic and antigay forces." Yet he is willing to make a "tac

Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey, said the 9/11 attacks "were a shock, but should not have come as a surprise."
**
Read this Wardog......
"By September 2001, "the executive branch of the U.S. government", the Congress, the news media, and the American public had received clear warning that Islamist terrorists meant to kill Americans in high numbers," Kean said.
The highly anticipated report provided new details on contacts between Iraq (news - web sites) and al-Qaida, noting that Osama bin Laden began exploring a possible alliance in the early 1990s. In one new disclosure, the report says that an Iraqi delegation traveled to Afghanistan (news - web sites) in July 1998 to meet with the ruling Taliban and with bin Laden.
Intelligence indicates that Iraq may have offered bin Laden safe haven, but he declined after apparently deciding that Afghanistan was a better location. The report says although there were some "friendly contacts" between Iraq and al-Qaida and a common hatred of the United States, none of these contacts "ever developed into a collaborative relationship" and that Iraq was not involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.
That question has been the subject of intense political debate, as critics say Bush exaggerated the contacts between al-Qaida and Iraq to justify the war. Bush, and especially Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites), insist those links were real and dangerous.
The panel said it did not find evidence that Iran had advance knowledge of bin Laden's plans, or that Saudi Arabia's government had a role in the terror conspiracy, which involved 15 Saudi hijackers.
But both Kean and Hamilton said the United States should look into the possibility of ties between Iran and al-Qaida. And Hamilton urged developing a U.S.-Saudi relationship that revolves around political, economic and educational reforms within the Saudi kingdom.

Beyond government reorganization, the report also says that the United States and its allies must embark on a global strategy of diplomacy and public relations to dismantle bin Laden's terror network and defeat the militant Islamic ideology that fe

As I read these posts by rabid Bush-haters I realized these people are going to be profoundly distraught when President Bush is reelected. There is an enormous amount of emotion invested on the left that President Bush is a complete moron who shouldn't be President.

kfc is get caught again!:
DENVER (Reuters) - Pilgrim's Pride, the poultry processor embarrassed after a video from an animal rights group showed workers stomping and kicking live chickens, said on Wednesday it had fired 11 employees at its Moorfield, West Virginia where the abuse took place.
The company said it dismissed one superintendent, a supervisor, one foreman, and eight hourly employees following an investigation it began on Tuesday after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals released the video.
The videotape documented animal abuses over an eight-month period that ended in May and was made by an undercover investigator for PETA.
The tape, which showed workers at the plant ripping off birds' beaks and stomping and kicking live chickens, was shown on national television as well as on the PETA Web site, prompting the Pittsburgh, Texas-based company to launch an investigation and place monitors at the plant.
"While we are making considerable progress with our investigation, we will continue with this investigation until we're confident that every employee -- regardless of rank -- who had knowledge of these incidents has been held accountable for their actions," O. B. Goolsby, president and chief operating officer said in a statement.
"We think all that is fantastic. Unfortunately, we don't think it's enough," PETA spokesman Dan Shannon said in response.
The animal rights group would like to see the penalties for abusing animals made clear to workers, he said. "There was no doubt in their (workers) mind they could get away with this," Shannon said.
Publicity over the controversial video has taken a toll on Pilgrim's Pride stock, which has lost 6 percent in the past two sessions.
The company supplies KFC, the fast-food chicken chain owned by Yum Brands Inc. .

MARIJUANA PROHIBITION: WHO DOES IT PROTECT?
by Henry Koch, (Source:Free Times)
South Carolina
-------
Is marijuana illegal in the United States to protect Americans or to protect a handful of well-connected industries that believe ending prohibition would affect their profits?
Every study, whether privately or government sponsored, has declared the penalties against cannabis far out of line with the substance. Every study has illustrated how tobacco and alcohol do far more damage to individuals and society than marijuana. The draconian laws against this naturally occurring herb have ruined millions of lives. These laws have done far more damage during the current 66-year period of prohibition than the plant has done since its first recorded use and cultivation nearly 6,000 years ago.
Yet today, a cadre of individuals and industries is spending billions of dollars to keep marijuana illegal. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Office of National Drug Control Policy contribute to these private efforts by refusing to acknowledge the validity of reports whose results run contrary to current drug policy. The DEA and the ONDCP even reject studies commissioned by the Congress and other U.S. government agencies.
When the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 was passed there was no scientific evidence as to the effects marijuana had on consumers. ( The psychoactive component of cannabis, THC, was not isolated until 1965. ) The congressional hearings leading to the passage of the Tax Act were held in secret and considered no scientific evidence. Harry Anslinger, director of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1930 to 1962, presented popular fabrications about marijuana as fact to the congressional committees investigating the substance.
Here are a few of Anslinger's more memorable quotes about marijuana:
"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men."
"Marijuana is taken by ... musicians. And I'm not speaking about good musicians, but the jazz type."
"Marijuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing."
Industries that have a high interest in keeping marijuana illegal include the tobacco indus

I think what they're trying to get out, is there needs to be an intelligence agency, that's seperated from the white house. The other thing they want to do, is perhaps emulate what the British have. They have two different offices, they have governmental investigative agency, and a domestic investigative agency.

John Nichols: Why vote? GOP doesn't see the need
By John Nichols
July 22, 2004
About John
John Nichols is a native Wisconsinite, who has written for The Capital Times for the past decade.
What with all the controversy that arose after one of President Bush's appointees to the federal Election Assistance Commission sought to establish guidelines for suspending the November presidential election in the event of a terrorist incident, citizens can be excused for presuming that this is a radical new notion. But it's not.
Borrowing several pages from the Joe Stalin Manual of Electoral Etiquette, the president's Republican allies canceled party primary elections in a number of states across the country during this election season - on the theory that President Bush was going to win them anyway.
Last year, Republican-controlled legislatures in Kansas, Colorado and Utah canceled their state-run 2004 presidential primaries. The pattern continued even after the presidential campaign got going, with the cancellation this year of presidential primaries in Florida, New York, Connecticut, Mississippi, South Carolina, South Dakota and Puerto Rico.
So it was that, while Democratic voters went to the polls to express their presidential preferences and select delegates to their party convention, the Republican process in many of the same states was effectively shut down. Instead of selecting delegates in primaries that attract significant numbers of voters, some of whom might dissent from party orthodoxy, Republicans in key states chose to play things out behind closed doors - in caucuses or other "official" settings.
Why were so many Republican primaries canceled? Officially, the line was that Republican legislators and party leaders wanted to save the money it would cost to hold the primaries that Bush would surely win.
Aside from the fact that canceling elections because someone is expected to win creates a democratic Catch-22, the cost-cutting talk is as bogus as the claim that a clear Bush victory could be divined from all those uncounted ballots from Florida's contested 2000 voting. The savings that can be achieved by canceling a

All though the process they kept wetting our appetite they were going to get to the bottom. Now the final report comes out, and they only blame congress. Why is this report much softer than what they implied it'd be. Did some of the repugs on there start to bend.
Just looking at what Senator Loutinburg has to say, about the flights, what else is not in the report. Senator Loutinburg: Bush needs explain whyh this flight was allowed to leave during the flight ban. Why did they get special treatment, that is the question. The FBI spent all this time trying to clear the relatives of Osama Bin Ladin.
It bothers me, there's already a discrepancy with the number of people who were supposed to be on the flight, and how many there actually were.

PM PLEDGES TO REVIVE MARIJUANA LEGISLATION
by Norma Greenaway, CanWest News Service, (Source:National Post)
Canada
-------
Pot Usage Has Almost Doubled In Past 13 Years: StatsCan
OTTAWA - Paul Martin pledged yesterday to reintroduce legislation to decriminalize the possession and use of small amounts of marijuana, as a new study showed Canadians' use of the drug has doubled in recent years.
Amid speculation the new government would drop the legislation under pressure from the United States, the Prime Minister said after the first formal meeting of his new Cabinet that the bill "will be reintroduced this fall."
Parliament failed to pass the legislation before it was dissolved prior to the June 28 election.
Mr. Martin's statement came the same day Statistics Canada released a study showing the number of Canadians, especially younger ones, who admit to marijuana and hashish use has almost doubled over a 13-year period.
The federal agency says about three million Canadians aged 15 and older, or 12.2%, admitted in 2002 to using the two cannabis substances in the previous 12 months. This was up from 6.5% in 1989 and 7.4% in 1994.
Marijuana use peaked among 18 and 19 year olds. Almost 38% of that age group reported using marijuana and hashish in the previous year. Among those aged 15 through 17, the rate was 29%, or almost three in 10.
Usage drops off the older Canadians get. It drops to 6% among those 45 to 54 years of age, and virtually disappears after age 65.
Men in almost all age groups were more likely to use marijuana and hashish than women.
Mr. Martin has said he may have eaten brownies laced with hashish when he was younger, and his predecessor, Jean Chretien, mused last year that he may try the drug in his retirement, should it be decriminalized.
Mr. Chretien first proposed decriminalization after a provincial court struck down possession penalties. The bill he introduced also proposed doubling the maximum penalty for growing more than 50 marijuana plants to 14 years in prison.

She notes that while some concert promoters have asked that she not endorse Moore's movie at their venues, there is no language in her contract prohibiting her from doing so.
"I'll damn well say what I please, as I always have," she says. "And if they cancel my show, they'll just be doing me a favor. They'll still have to pay me, and I could use a day off. I have no idea how ticket sales are going, and I never worry about record sales."
Apparently not everyone is upset with the soft-rock star.
Ronstadt sang to a full-house Tuesday night at Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, and the crowd reserved its longest and loudest ovation for her endorsement of Moore's film, the Los Angeles Times reported yesterday.

The United Nations (UN) has long been a tool for drug-war oppression throughout the world. Admittedly, within the UN, there is at least one organization that opposes such insanity. The Transnational Radical Party (TRP) is an antiprohibitionist Italy-based political party that has members elected to the European Union and consultative Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) status at the UN. Now they need your help.
TRP leaders and founders have been arrested for distributing and using marijuana during massive public rallies that protest pot prohibition in Italy. They oppose the drug war at the international level by jamming the UN's signal of outright and unqualified support for warring on natural and medicinal herbs.
They sponsor many other enlightened projects that uplift oppressed peoples around the globe. They have fought tirelessly for human rights in Tibet, Russia and Hanoi, leading to international pressure from dictatorial governments to remove them from the UN. Currently, because of their support for oppressed peoples in Hanoi, the Vietnam government has tabled a motion to strip the TRP of its consultative status at the UN for a period of three years.
Please visit their website and sign their petition, asking that their consultative status not be removed.
There are too few international antiprohibitionist organizations. One less would be a tragedy.

THE WORLD
Troops Could Stay Beyond Limit
Pentagon is considering extending the tours of National Guard troops in Iraq who are nearing the 24-month active-duty maximum.
By Mark Mazzetti, Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — In yet another sign of the strains on the U.S. military in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks and the Iraq war, the Pentagon for the first time is considering extending the mobilization of National Guard soldiers who will soon hit the federal limit of 24 months of active service, defense officials said Tuesday.
Initially, the decision would affect about 450 soldiers of the Arkansas National Guard who are in Iraq with the 39th Brigade Combat Team. The soldiers, mobilized after Sept. 11 and first sent to the Sinai Peninsula on a peacekeeping rotation, are the first group of National Guard troops to approach the 24-month limit that the Pentagon established days after the terrorist attacks in the United States.
Ultimately, however, waiving the limit in this case might lead to extended deployments for thousands of other reservists and National Guard members in Iraq and Afghanistan, and provide ammunition to critics in Congress who are pushing the Bush administration to increase the size of the military.

Welcome to Seattle Hempfest 2004!
POT PROHIBITION REACHES RETIREMENT AGE
It has been 67 years since America's un-American pot laws were established, and it's high time to put these policies out to pasture. That's what Hempfest is all about. Here is what we have in store for 2004...
The thirteenth year of Seattle Hempfest is almost in full bloom, and once again the Emerald City is poised to host a dazzling kaleidoscope of pot politics, music, speakers, culture and crafts. Hot off of last year's local victory with I-75, making simple possession of marijuana the lowest enforcement priority, the Pacific Northwest cannabis movement is ramping up its efforts by calling for pot enthusiasts everywhere to come out of the closet and show their pot pride at Hempfest.
Against a backdrop of sizzling sounds, scrumptious eats and an endless array of arts and crafts, the 2004 Seattle Hempfest features some of the most important people in American marijuana politics. Big things are happening in the movements to bring safe, legal access to medical patients, domestic industrial hemp production to ailing American farmers, and the freedom to live without fear of arrest and imprisonment for good and decent citizens who choose cannabis as a vehicle for medicine, relaxation or insight.

2004 proves to be a pivotal year in American politics as the nation chooses whether to stay with the disastrous policies of the Bush administration, or bring in someone with a greater ability to understand our message... that we are Americans seeking freedom, not a criminal underclass threatening society. So you can expect to see a voter registration and education campaign at this year's event as we take a break from our past history of non- partisanship. Also, several states have initiatives on the ballot this year addressing issues about cannabis, and Hempfest is just the place to find out what

I call myself "dumb, slow & stupid" here all the time.....it's true, but only from lack of time & resources.
But no one is "smarter" or "dumber" than me, by comparison. [However the trolls may "be" that way, usually!]

Penalties for marijuana use hard to defend
by William F. Buckley Jr.
Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle News Service
Conservatives pride themselves on resisting change, which is as it should be. But intelligent deference to tradition and stability can evolve into intellectual sloth and moral fanaticism, as when conservatives simply decline to look up from dogma because the effort to raise their heads and reconsider is too great.
The laws concerning marijuana aren't exactly indefensible, because practically nothing is, and the thunderers who tell us to stay the course can always find one man or woman who, having taken marijuana, moved on to severe mental disorder. But that argument, to quote myself, is on the order of saying that every rapist began by masturbating.
General rules based on individual victims are unwise. And although there is a perfectly respectable case against using marijuana, the penalties imposed on those who reject that case, or who give way to weakness of resolution, are very difficult to defend. If all our laws were paradigmatic, imagine what we would do to anyone caught lighting a cigarette, or drinking a beer. Or -- exulting in life in the paradigm -- committing adultery. Send them all to Guantanamo?
Legal practices should be informed by realities. These are enlightening in the matter of marijuana. There are approximately 700,000 marijuana-related arrests made very year. Most of these -- 87 percent -- involve nothing more than mere possession of small amounts of marijuana. This exercise in scrupulosity costs us $10 billion to $15 billion per year in direct expenditures alone.
Most transgressors caught using marijuana aren't packed away to jail, but some are, and in Alabama, if you are convicted three times of marijuana possession, they'll lock you up for 15 years to life.
Professor Ethan Nadelmann, of the Drug Policy Alliance, writing in National Review, estimates at 100,000 the number of Americans currently

National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Withdraws from LGBT "Unity 2004" Event at Democratic National Convention
Statement by Matt Foreman, Executive Director
"We are dismayed that Margaret Cho has been disinvited to perform at the LGBT Unity 2004 event scheduled for Monday, July 26 in Boston. The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force had been a co-sponsor of this event.
Throughout her career, Ms. Cho has been a staunch supporter of equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)Americans, has contributed her time and talent to dozens of LGBT fundraising events, and is much loved by our community. We were proud to recently give her a Task Force Leadership Award. Ms. Cho has said, 'I'm more than bi(sexual).' She is, indeed, one of us.
Under these circumstances, we must regretfully withdraw our support for this event."

We gathered to share the joy and gratitude we felt for the natural world and to nurture our place in it. We also came to deeply listen, and share our grief and struggles in this journey of being human, especially at a time with so many environmental and societal injuries. We found that as we shared our stories, Earth's story, and our hearts, it was possible to rekindle hope and joy in spite of the burdens we may carry......."

Lab Security Breaches Criticized
Los Alamos Could Face Firings and Criminal Investigation
By Dafna Linzer
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, July 21, 2004; Page A11
Failure at the Los Alamos National Laboratory to follow security procedures is widespread and the highly secretive nuclear facility lacks an effective system to prevent employees from removing classified material, Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham said in a toughly worded statement yesterday that threatened firings and left open the possibility of a criminal investigation.
Missing computer disks, classified information sent out via e-mail and an accident involving a summer intern injured in the eye by a laser forced Los Alamos to stop nearly all of its operations over the weekend, including weapons research and field testing, as a major investigation into serious security breaches and accidents got underway.

~~~"contemplating two blogs on one page.

blog two: issue/story narrative; specific, short posts on topic... a bit like kos diaries
thoughts?"

Interesting. But doesn't solve anything.
Unless this isn't an effort to solve the blog problems that I think it's meant to solve.
Still, please define "temporal narrative."
Would this be the blog where the trolls, spammers, and floggers do their thing?
The question remains: What is the purpose and GOAL of this blog? Once this qs is defined and clarified everything else will fall into place.~~~~
Yo, Bridge check dis out! I don't think Sammer would EVER change this here main bloggie. [maybe a few tweaks] The 2nd blog would be a condensed version of this one -- plus further reference-type stuff {AND other good shit]. I'd fight Sammer tooth-n-nail if he considered changing the "soul" of THIS blog!
~~~The E-Zine solution has different advantages. It could be culled from the Blog without disrupting the blog; it could include short audio and even video archives; it could be sent out like a newsletter; it could be added to by the other shows, for a comprehensive synopsis; and it would help organize the best of the blog into sections, including a troll wrangler's roundup (for them as wut likes that sorta moosepoop).

Ya J I know but having someone pay attention to the blog even if only to put up a new thread foments a bit more connection, integration...
even if only on the emotional level...
No one's even noticed the NEW thing that has been created here...now others might try and do radio show + blog but you can be damned sure it doesn't flow like this one and it doesn't connect like this one and it doesn't weld us all together like this one.
I defy anyone to show me a place that compares.

And how and why do you know that?
" The 2nd blog would be a condensed version of this one -- plus further reference-type stuff {AND other good shit]."
So this would be like blog 1 only without the trolls, floggers, and spammers?
"I'd fight Sammer tooth-n-nail if he considered changing the "soul" of THIS blog!"
Aren't you getting a bit melodramatic?

Bush Support Among Hispanics Slipping, Poll Shows
By Pablo Bachelet
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) is trailing his Democratic challenger John Kerry (news - web sites) by a big margin among potential Hispanic voters, according to a new survey of Latino attitudes toward politics released on Thursday.
Kerry and his vice presidential choice, John Edwards (news - web sites), have the support of 62 percent of the Hispanics polled, while the Bush/Dick Cheney (news - web sites) ticket has 32 percent support, according to a joint survey by The Pew Hispanic Center and the Kaiser Family Foundation.[...]

Tim, I feel terrible about how Jeaneane treated you. You were such a wonderful host the last time you were on this show. I know her attitude must really turn you off. I have been progressively angered at the way that she treats Sam. Remember that your fans love you Tim, and know that you did nothing to provoke the chiding you received. Thanks for staying on the show, anyway - you're a great guy.

Tim Robbins! I'm so glad you've come to the program. Please come back.
Is the show still running and will there be a film version of it, or what else is coming up...
What magazines and books is Tim reading currently and what did Tim think of F/911?
Thanks so much for the great show as always.

OK - I'm sorry if I'm posting stuff that's history/already been covered, but I had to stop reading after the 5:17 a.m. posts to comment on what's up there.....
1. I loved the Brockley report too - organic gardener here & would love to see the farm = )
2.Re: the blog thing - Utne.com has/had(haven't been there in a year, so I'm not sure it's the same) a neat format where you can select to post stuff as 'hidden' so it does not take up space & people can simply click on a button to view the 'hidden' part.This seems really practical to me - you can post long articles, etc. & not take up extra space.Might that not work for 'chit-chat' as well?
3. Also I've wished all along for numbered posts - & pages might not be a bad idea either.I get so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of posts here that I know I'm missing a lot = (
& going by times seems inadequate - @ times I've seen more than a dozen msgs all @ posted the same time.
For What it's Worth......
