I think that the majority of so-called trolls who frequent this place love humanity as much as the next person does.
And I think it's smug to assume, being that not one of us could ever cram that which makes up the totality of our individual lives on this tiny blog, that you know exactly how a person is.
Lot of sweeping judgements and generalizations flying around in that last thread imo.

Pakistani generals routinely deny that their army retains any sympathy
for the Taliban. But here is a secret they managed to keep quiet for
several months. In early summer U.S. soldiers scrambling after Taliban
remnants along the craggy mountains of southeastern Afghanistan made a
surprising discovery. Among the gang of suspected Taliban agents they
nabbed were three men who, it emerged in interrogations, were
Pakistani army officers. Authorities in Pakistan clapped the three in
a military brig; an official from military intelligence called them
"mavericks." But the news of their capture alongside enemy fighters
underscored a persistent issue in Washington and Kabul: Whose side,
exactly, is Pakistan on?

It is, however, in America where Pakistan's sharpest critics are to be
found. They accuse Pakistan's national-security establishment, run
exclusively by army generals, of having sold nuclear know-how to North
Korea in exchange for Korean missile technology so that Pakistan can
deliver its nuclear warheads. Pakistan has also been implicated in the
transfer of nuclear technology to Iran.

October Surprise
The phrase October Surprise describes an "allegation that officials in the 1980 Reagan-Bush campaign cut a deal with Iranian revolutionaries to delay the release of the fifty-two hostages until after Reagan's inauguration." [1] Credibility attaches to this theory because the hostages were released 5 minutes after Ronald Reagan took the oath of office. "For this favor, Iran was rewarded with a substantial supply of arms from Israel." [2]
"Five years later, when the Iran-contra affair revealed what seemed to be a similar swap of hostages for arms delivered through Israel, questions were revived about the 1980 election. In a nice, ironic twist, the phrase `October surprise,' which Vice Presidential candidate George Bush had coined to warn of possible political manipulation of the hostages by Jimmy Carter, began to be applied to the suspected secret activities of the 1980 Reagan-Bush campaign." --Gary Sick [3]

===============================
The dirty reality, that no one wants to talk about is this: the child of a wealthy person, who grows up with access to art objects, overseas travel, restaurant dining on exotic foods, and dinner party chit-chat with the educated friends of their parents -- this gives even the most average child the illusion, the appearance of "intelligence".
The "average" poor child just cannot compete. To compete equally with this appearance of intelligence of the moderately intelligent rich child, a poor child must be BRILLIANT!
And the child growing up in poverty, though she may be brilliant, will be judged as unequal to those others -- far less intelligent -- who've had easy access to a broader spectrum of experience.
WarDog says, "The more you keep trying when everyone else quits, the luckier you get." But - no one chooses their parents. No child chooses to grow up in poverty.
Today, NYU costs about 45,000 a year. That's where my father went. But, he went to school back in the days when they had "poverty scholarships" - and it cost him next to nothing. MORE IMPORTANTLY - when my dad went to NYU, in constant dollars, the tuition was more in the range of 20,000. Tuition went up, like, 125% in twenty years -- BUT WAGES CERTAINLY HAVE NOT.
It's a two-tiered society now, Wardog: them's that "earns" it, and them's that is born into it.
Like, remember? It was against the divine right of Kings that we had the American Revolution?
Today - this new, meaner, harsher (social Darwinism, anyone?) America is built upon the divine right of capital. Where in the world but America? (A land where the combined net worth of the poorest 90,000,000 families is less than that of richest 26,000.)

Do you know $200,000 -- that's the top income bracket -- was set under Eisenhower, fifty years ago? Fifty years ago, two hundred grand was quite a pile of cash. And today? Yeah - it's "middle class", I am sure ... the income of your dentist, our a county school superintendant.
How about this: let's raise the top income bracket to $50,000,000? And have, like, ten more income brackets between two hundred grand and fifty mil. That would be a truer reflection of the distribution of wealth in this country. And - being the richest country in the world - we could once again afford to raise a whole new generation of educated kids, like when my dad went to school.
Sound fair to you?

The diciest part of the October Surprise saga remains the allegations of secret Paris meetings between Republicans and Iranians in fall 1980. According to some of those alleging that the GOP sabotaged President Carter's pre-election hostage negotiations, the Paris meetings followed earlier contacts between William Casey and Iranians in Madrid; in effect, the Paris talks cemented the deal.
But what has made the Paris allegations so controversial is the claim by some that George Bush, the Republican vice presidential candidate and former CIA director, slipped away on the weekend of Oct. 18-19, 1980, and flew to Paris to assure the Iranians of high-level authorization.
The most adamant witness who has claimed to see Bush in Paris is former Israeli intelligence official Ari Ben-Menashe. An Iraqi Jew born in Iran, Ben-Menashe speaks fluent Farsi and served as an Israeli military intelligence operative for at least 10 years, from 1977-87. In sworn testimony before Congress in 1991-92, Ben-Menashe declared that he saw Bush and Casey at a downtown Paris hotel as they headed into a meeting with radical Iranian cleric Mehdi Karrubi.
Ben-Menashe's claim received partial support from a pilot, Heinrich Rupp, who said he flew Casey to Paris on that weekend and saw a man resembling Bush at LeBourget airport. Also buttressing Ben-Menashe was the recollection of Chicago Tribune reporter John Maclean who said he was informed by a well-placed Republican source in mid-October 1980 that Bush was flying to Paris to meet with Iranians about the 52 Americans then held hostage in Iran.

To the shock of the task force, the six-page Russian report stated, as fact, that Casey, George Bush and other Republicans had met secretly with Iranian officials in Europe during the 1980 presidential campaign. The Russians depicted the hostage negotiations that year as a two-way competition between the Carter White House and the Reagan campaign to outbid one another for Iran's cooperation on the hostages. The Russians asserted that the Reagan team had disrupted Carter's hostage negotiations after all, the exact opposite of the task force conclusion.
Russians claimed. "William Casey, in 1980, met three times with representatives of the Iranian leadership," the Russians wrote. "The meetings took place in Madrid and Paris."
At the Paris meeting in October 1980, "R[obert] Gates, at that time a staffer of the National Security Council in the administration of Jimmy Carter and former CIA director George Bush also took part," the Russians said. "In Madrid and Paris, the representatives of Ronald Reagan and the Iranian leadership discussed the question of possibly delaying the release of 52 hostages from the staff of the U.S. Embassy in Teheran."

Fallujah enjoys respite as US troops await manpower
By Kim Sengupta in Baghdad
19 October 2004
Fallujah, the rebel stronghold surrounded by US troops, experienced a moment's respite from large-scale clashes yesterday amid reports that the Americans were awaiting reinforcements.
The city has been the scene of a succession of strikes since it was surrounded last Thursday in a bid to regain control of the Sunni stronghold. There were 1,400 US troops in position around the city.
Part of the reinforcement will be US soldiers freed for Fallujah with the expected arrival next week of British troops from Basra to replace them.

Bush: Beyond Reason
By Robert Parry
October 19, 2004
Journalist Ron Suskind relates a chilling conversation he had in 2002 with a senior aide to George W. Bush, who taunted Suskind for being a person from “what we call the reality-based community.â€
The Bush aide said this “reality-based community†consists of people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.†Suskind nodded in agreement and muttered something favorable about the principles of the Enlightenment, only to be cut off by the aide.
“That’s not the way the world really works anymore,†the Bush aide told the journalist. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality – judiciously, as you will – we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to study what we do.â€
In many ways, that quote – cited in Suskind's New York Times Magazine article about Bush’s “faith-based presidency†– sums up the anti-rational arrogance that has become the hallmark of Bush’s inner circle, a group that apparently thinks that its actions transcend both law and reason.
Suskind, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, quotes other Republicans who have concluded that Bush believes – or at least gives the impression he believes – that his judgments are directed by God.
“I think a light has gone off for people who’ve spent time up close to Bush: that this instinct he’s always talking about is this sort of weird, Messianic idea of what he thinks God has told him to do,†said Bruce Bartlett, a domestic policy adviser to Ronald Reagan and a Treasury official in the first Bush administration. “He truly believes he’s on a mission from God. Absolute faith like that overwhelms a need for analysis. The whole thing about faith is to believe

British soldiers near Baghdad would give Bush a big boost
By Rupert Cornwell in Washington
19 October 2004
The Pentagon's request for Britain to move troops to more dangerous areas closer to Baghdad underlines how over-extended United States forces are, on the eve of an expected major assault on the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah.
Speaking in New Jersey yesterday, President George Bush made no mention of the request as he promised to see through the campaign in Iraq to a victorious conclusion. But the issue of a redeployment of British troops might yet feature in the campaign, especially if London agrees to do so before election day on 2 November.
His opponent, John Kerry, has repeatedly attacked the President for failing to assemble a genuine coalition in Iraq, saying that the US was taking 90 per cent of the casualties and facing 90 per cent of the cost of the war. With crack British troops closer to the most dangerous insurgency in the centre and north of the country, Mr Bush could use British reinforcements to hit back at those claims.

U.S. Has Contingency Plans for a Draft of Medical Workers
By ROBERT PEAR
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 - The Selective Service has been updating its contingency plans for a draft of doctors, nurses and other health care workers in case of a national emergency that overwhelms the military's medical corps.
In a confidential report this summer, a contractor hired by the agency described how such a draft might work, how to secure compliance and how to mold public opinion and communicate with health care professionals, whose lives could be disrupted.
On the one hand, the report said, the Selective Service System should establish contacts in advance with medical societies, hospitals, schools of medicine and nursing, managed care organizations, rural health care providers and the editors of medical journals and trade publications.
On the other hand, it said, such contacts must be limited, low key and discreet because "overtures from Selective Service to the medical community will be seen as precursors to a draft," and that could alarm the public.
In this election year, the report said, "very few ideas or activities are viewed without some degree of cynicism."

May 20, 1990
With CIA and NSA intelligence reports revealing that Pakistan and India were on the verge of a nuclear exchange, President Bush sends his top nuclear expert, Robert Gates, to Islamabad. Gates warns President Khan and his top general that Pentagon war games have demonstrated that there is no way that Pakistan could win a war with India, and that Pakistan need not expect any help from the US despite the fact that Pakistan had been an ally of the US in the long, supposedly "covert" war in Afghanistan. Gates extracts a promise from the Pakistanis to close down their training camps for Kashmiri insurgents. [Richard J. Kerr, deputy director of the CIA described the crisis as "the most dangerous nuclear situation we have ever faced since I've been in the US government.... far more frightening than the Cuban missile crisis." Why did the public know nothing of this at the time (unlike the hour-by-hour bulletins during the fear-ridden days of the Cuban crisis)? Throughout the '80s Reagan administration officials "looked the other way" as Pakistan developed its nuclear arsenal of six nuclear bombs with illegal purchases from US vendors of millions of dollars' worth of restricted materials. In 1985 Congress passed the Solarz Amendment which mandated the termination of all military and economic aid to any supposedly non-nuclear nation that imported or attempted to import nuclear-related materials from the United States. It also passed the Pressler Amendment which required the President to certify each year that Pakistan did not possess any nuclear weapons; otherwise Pakistan would not be allowed to continue receiving its very large amount of foreign aid from the United States. The Reagan and Bush administrations falsely certified that Pakistan was nuclear-free in 1987, 1988, and 1989.]23

Justices Order New Look At Tex. Redistricting Case
GOP-Crafted Plan Stays in Effect for This Election
By Charles Lane
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, October 19, 2004; Page A21
The Supreme Court kept alive a Democratic constitutional challenge to a Republican redistricting plan in Texas yesterday, ordering a three-judge district court to reexamine its January decision upholding the plan.
The court's action will not affect the 2004 elections in Texas. Voting for the state's 32 seats in the House of Representatives will go forward under the contested plan, which was approved in 2003.
But the Supreme Court told the district court to take account of the justices' split decision in April in a similar case in Pennsylvania. In that case, Veith v. Jubelirer, the court upheld a pro-Republican plan but refused to rule out the possibility that extreme partisan gerrymandering could violate the Constitution.

Gore Charges Bush With Prewar Deceit
President Called Reckless, Dishonest

Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, October 19, 2004; Page A04
Former vice president Al Gore finished a two-year series of policy addresses yesterday by accusing President Bush of deliberately suppressing information about Iraq that would have undermined his case for war.
Gore said that he had previously resisted saying Bush intentionally deceived the public in the run-up to the invasion but that the evidence now shows "that in virtually every case the president chose to ignore -- and indeed often to suppress -- studies, reports, information, facts, that were directly contrary to the false impressions he was in the process of giving to the American people."

There have been too many double crosses involving the Central Intelligence Agency and Bush - international double crosses. At the heart of the problem are three nations, Iran, Iraq and Israel. The Bush Administration has been pushing a pro-Arab stance at the cost of Israel. In fact, according to court documents, the United States supported the manufacturing of chemical weapons by Iraq as a counterforce against Israel in the Middle East. The Bush Administration links to oil favored a more pro-Arab stand.
It began in early 1980, when pollsters for presidential candidate Ronald Reagan reported that if President Jimmy Carter was able to obtain freedom for 52 American hostages held in Iran, he would win the election. The Carter Administration was in negotiations with Iran at the time and a release looked promising. The Reagan-Bush campaign was wary of a possible "October Surprise" by the Carter Administration that would result in the early release of the American hostages. Actually, the Iranian government was tired of the hostage issue and wanted to have an early release. They were bickering over release of frozen assets or military replacement parts to support their squadrons of American fighters. At the same time, Iraq was threatening war against Iran. Carter also considered the possibility of a second rescue attempt, but American officials leaked that information to the Iranian government and they dispersed the hostages to many different locations.
But once the Reagan-Bush team came to power, Bush began to push a pro-Arab position within the government, or, in essence, a pro-oil position

What Everybody Doesn't Know About Mary Cheney
By Hank Stuever
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, October 19, 2004; Page C01
Mary Cheney: Somewhere out there she exists, the actual Mary Cheney, child of the nondisclosed location, the one who's the luh-luh-lesbian. She's become this eternal and complicated mystery for people who are gay, and without ever really knowing her or hearing from her, they've spent four years writing poems, articles and protest songs about her. They've implored her with open letters in forums she may or may not ever read. They've waved signs with her name, started Web sites and put her on a milk carton as though she were a missing child. Oh, Mary Cheney, speak to us.
Then, after last week's final presidential debate, the subject of Mary went surprisingly national, and she became her very own polling question: Is it okay to drag Mary into this, as the Kerry-Edwards ticket has done?
In the Oct. 14 Washington Post tracking poll, 64 percent of likely voters said no, it was "inappropriate," and you get the feeling that something like this makes most Americans feel kinda ooky. People don't like to say the word lesbian, especially some mothers and fathers of lesbians. The word summons up some outdated, maternal plea -- Couldn't you wear a skirt just this once? Your father is running for office.

"You can't run the world on faith"
Some Reagan conservatives decry Bush's "Messianic" approach and preference for dogma over evidence.
By James K. Galbraith
"Just in the past few months, I think a light has gone off for people who've spent time up close to [President] Bush; that this instinct he's always talking about is this sort of weird, Messianic idea of what he thinks God has told him to do ... This is why George W. Bush is so clear-eyed about Al Qaeda and the Islamic fundamentalists. He believes you have to kill them all. They can't be persuaded, that they're extremists, driven by a dark vision. He understands them, because he's just like them ... This is why he dispenses with people who confront him with inconvenient facts ... He truly believes he's on a mission from God. Absolute faith like that overwhelms the need for analysis. The whole thing about faith is to believe things for which there is no empirical evidence ... But you can't run the world on faith."

Yeah - I remember when His Royal Codpiece gave his "mission accomplished" pablum; and all the kids at school were so excited by this. (I even heard these two guys, like cheering, saying, "Anerica - never been defeated!" Okay, can anybody say "Vietnam"?)
So I said, "And now begins the bloody peace." And everybody looked at me, and acted like I was such a freak. The thing is, I don't have a TV. That's why I understood what was happening.
But the real question - if a silly little girl like me can see ahead at this tragedy, what the heck happened with all the "intellectuals" over in the DOD and the White House?
Oh yeah, "ideology". Almost forgot.

Salem bin Laden, Osama's oldest brother, is later described by a French secret intelligence report as one of the two closest friends of Saudi Arabia's King Fahd. As such, he often performs important missions for Saudi Arabia. The French report speculates that he is involved in secret Paris meetings between US and Iranian emissaries this month. Frontline, which published the French report, notes that such meetings have never been confirmed. Rumors of these meetings have been called the “October Surprise†and some have speculated Bush Sr. negotiated in these meetings a delay to the release of the US hostages in Iran, thus helping Ronald Reagan and Bush win the 1980 Presidential election. All of this is highly speculative, but if the French report is correct, it points to a long-standing connection of highly illegal behavior between the Bush and bin Laden families

"Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush holds a 49-to-43 percent edge over Democratic rival Al Gore in the latest CNN/Time poll. ... The poll of 2,060 adult Americans ... is thus in essential agreement with a CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll also released Friday. That poll gives Bush a 52 percent [to] 39 percent edge over Gore. More important, both polls show the same snapshot of the current state of the presidential campaign: a solid advantage for Bush. ABC News and The Washington Post both have daily tracking polls today putting the race at 48 percent for Bush and 45 percent for Gore."

Was Jon Stewart right about Crossfire?
Stewart blasts 'Crossfire,' pundits fire back
By Maureen Ryan
Tribune staff reporter
Published October 18, 2004, 5:45 PM CDT
The heat of this intense political season crossed over to CNN's "Crossfire" Friday and continued to make a stir on the Web Monday after Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," blasted the CNN program during a guest appearance.
Though Stewart was on "Crossfire," hosted by pundits Tucker Carlson and Paul Begala, Friday to promote his new best-selling book "America," the popular fake-news host was most definitely not in funny-guy mode. He took Begala and Carlson to task for engaging in televised "theater" that fails to enlighten and educate the public on current events and important issues.
"The thing is, we need your help. Right now, you're helping the politicians and the corporations," Stewart said. "And we're left out there to mow our lawns."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop hurting America," Stewart said. "You're doing theater, when you should be doing debate, which would be great. … What you do is not honest. What you do is partisan hackery."
Carlson and Begala appeared taken aback by Stewart's earnest criticism and his failure to quip and banter.

Of Judicial Activism and 'Re-activism'
by Dahlia Lithwick
"... Let's invent a new term right here, today, for judges or judicial nominees on the right, who claim to be merely "interpreting" the Constitution, even when they are refusing to impose settled law ...
"Re-activist judges are the ones trying to roll back time to the 19th century ... Re-activists like Priscilla Owen, President Bush's nominee to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, rewrite the Texas parental notification statute in abortion cases, to make it vastly harder for young women to bypass parental consent. Re-activists like another Bush nominee, Janice Rogers Brown, have called the Supreme Court's shift toward defending New Deal legislation in 1937 the start of 'the triumph of our socialist revolution.'
"Re-activist judges have increasingly adopted the view that their personal religious convictions somehow obviate the constitutional divide between church and state. Bush's recess appointment to the 11th Circuit, Bill Pryor, expended energy as attorney general of Alabama to support Judge Roy Moore in his quest to chisel the Ten Commandments directly into the wall between church and state. Pryor is entitled to be offended by case law barring government from establishing sectarian religion. But what re-activist judges may not do is use their government office to chip away at that doctrine. ..."

From the Chicago Tribune, Letters to the Editor.
Good one:
Chris J. -- Just curious what you thought of your employer's endorsement of President Bush Sunday?
I didn't lose any sleep over it. The Tribune tends to endorse Republican candidates -- we endorsed the undistinguished Lynn Martin over the legendary Paul Simon for U.S. Senate in 1990, `nuff said -- and the next time it endorses a Democrat for president will be the first.
I happen to think that newspapers shouldn't endorse candidates in major races -- that the practice is a throwback to a different era and somewhat mysterious, to boot:
Who at the Tribune or other like-minded papers endorses Bush?
Or who, for that matter, at, say, the New York Times endorses Sen. John Kerry?
The publishers? The owners? Not the staff, certainly -- no paper I know polls the staff. But is it the top editors? The members of the editorial board? What fraction of the editorial board?
The papers never say. The conceit is that the institution, Oz like, speaks.
Therefore I don't tend to take any of these endorsements particularly seriously (though for those who do, Editor and Publisher is keeping track of which papers are endorsing whom right here)
I don't fall into the trap of believing that they come from some higher or more enlightened source than any other commentary on the election.
My view is that if we must endorse candidates in major races, then we ought to disclose exactly who had input into the decision, how the decision was reached and who, among the decision makers, disagreed and why.
The Web would be a perfect repository for such full disclosure.

- "cruel or ignorant" -
True, the list is incomplete. There is a third category, which includes folks like Christopher Hitchens, who are selfserving prostitutes.
More to the point, I agree with Janeane, to vote for Bush is the sign of a character flaw - as Janeane says - or deep moral failing, in my own words.
Still, I do agree with you, that "politically" truth is sometimes not the best. And, as you say, "there are a lot of confused, ignorant people voting for Bush and showing a little compassion for them wouldn't hurt".
I've been trying to train the bloggerz here not to be so unkind to the "Christians". And, although the the ideas of the true Christo-Fascist nutcases can't be entertained, there are - IMHO - some of your "confused, ignorant people" who might be led into our fold somehow: yet it's important that we not alienate them from the outset.
So, yes, your main point I do agree with.

Kerry said to be excommunicated
Los Angeles, Oct. 18 (CWNews.com) - A consultant to the Vatican has said Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has incurred the penalty of excommunication from the Catholic Church.
The consultant made his statement in a highly unusual letter to Marc Balestrieri, a Los Angeles canon lawyer who formally sued John Kerry in ecclesiastical court for heresy.
Balestrieri, who launched his case earlier this year by filing a heresy complaint in Kerry's home archdiocese of Boston, told EWTN's "World Over" program on Friday that he had received an unusual, indirect communication from the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith regarding the pro-abortion stance.
That communication provides a basis, he said, to declare that any Catholic politician who says he is "personally opposed to abortion, but supports a woman's right to choose," incurs automatic excommunication. It also provided a basis for Balestrieri to broaden his canonical actions and file additional complaints against four more pro-abortion Catholic politicians: Democrat Senators Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts and Tom Harkin of Iowa; Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine; and former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, a Democrat.
The current action could be significant as it could undercut the entire debate over denying Communion to pro-abortion politicians. An excommunicated Catholic may not receive any of the sacraments of the Church, including the Eucharist, marriage, and even Christian burial. The type of excommunication outlined in the new information is called latae sententiae, which means that it occurs automatically and does not require a formal pronouncement by any Church official.
Balestrieri said he went to Rome in late August to discuss his canonical case with experts, including an official of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Less than 10 days later, he received a letter from Father Basil Cole, a Dominican

"Demise of Democracy"
Russia’s democratic window, never pried open very wide following the Soviet Union’s demise, is slamming shut. Citing a summer wave of terrorist attacks that killed 430 people, President Vladimir Putin last month ordered sweeping changes to the country’s political system that will effectively abolish regional gubernatorial elections, sharply reduce the space for independent politics and accelerate the pro-Kremlin United Russia Party’s merger with the state bureaucracy to create a single party-state behemoth reminiscent of the former Communist Party of the Soviet Union. “After these changes I am in a state of shock,†says Yevgeny Yasin, a former Russian Economics Minister, now head of research at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. “This is directed against the democratization of the country and can only lead to an authoritarian regime.†Boris Yeltsin destroyed Russia’s first freely elected parliament in a violent confrontation 11 years ago and used his victory to write?

A note on Republican campaign strategies.
Much of what is being done at the moment is nothing more than creating cover stories in advance for stolen districts.
The visit to New Jersey for example is probably a cover for stolen votes there (they are not going to win New Jersey and they know that so the visit makes no sense on that basis) - not to win the state - but rather to support the argument that of course they could win districts easily in Pennsylvania given that they even did well in New Jersey, although not winning there.
Remember, exit polls were killed in Diebolds Georgia in 2002 and there was a double digit swing between pre election polls and actual votes - results - Democrats lose and the public was surprised at the percentage swing. They stole it and stole it badly and looked bad. They learned a lesson and are setting the stage for a more than Georgia plausible theft in November.
They are also creating expectations (unrealistic) of a Bush win through fraudulent polls.
They are killing voter base by registration crimes, pre creating plausible explanations for what would otherwise be surprising vote results through campaign/ad visits/buys and They are pre conditioning the public by publishing pre election fraudulent polls.
Wake up media, you need to report/cover these things. Crimes are and will be committed.
Does anyone care?

From: Michael W
Sent: Tuesday July 13 2004 12.28pm
Subject: Dude, Iraq sucks
My name is Michael W and I am a 30-year-old National Guard infantryman serving in southeast Baghdad. I have been in Iraq since March of 04 and will continue to serve here until March of 05.
In the few short months my unit has been in Iraq, we have already lost one man and have had many injured (including me) in combat operations. And for what? At the very least, the government could have made sure that each of our vehicles had the proper armament to protect us soldiers.
In the early morning hours of May 10, one month to the day from my 30th birthday, I and 12 other men were attacked in a well-executed roadside ambush in south-east Baghdad. We were attacked with small-arms fire, a rocket-propelled grenade, and two well-placed roadside bombs. These roadside bombs nearly destroyed one of our Hummers and riddled my friends with shrapnel, almost killing them. They would not have had a scratch if they had the "Up Armour" kits on them. So where was [George] W [Bush] on that one?
It's just so ridiculous, which leads me to my next point. A Blackwater contractor makes $15,000 [£8,400] a month for doing the same job as my pals and me. I make about $4,000 [£2,240] a month over here. What's up with that?
Beyond that, the government is calling up more and more troops from the reserves. For what? Man, there is a huge fucking scam going on here! There are civilian contractors crawling all over this country. Blackwater, Kellogg Brown & Root, Halliburton, on and on. These contractors are doing everything you can think of from security to catering lunch!

How's this as an endorsement based on air safety?
Air Traffic Controllers Release Hard Hitting Ad Telling Americans That "We Need a President Who Won't Put Safety On Hold"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) Political Action Committee announced today that it will be running an ad over the next two weeks on national cable television and in battleground states to shed much needed light on the serious air traffic controller shortage crisis facing the nation as voters head to the polls on Nov. 2. The powerful ad -- which features a pilot calling into a tower for permission to land and receiving a jarring recorded phone message -- concludes with the strong message that "we need a President who won't put safety on hold."

Last night I bought Eddie dinner, because he asked me to. Eddie is a little man with a long white beard and a huge belly.
I used to think Eddie was fat, but I was wrong. I saw him one day and he asked me for $1.89. I said, "Eddie, why do you need $1.89?"
Eddie told me "the Lord told him, that's why". I asked Eddie, "Why do you suppose the Lord wants you to have $1.89?" And he told me: "That's what a packet of 3x5 cards cost. "Oh, 3x5 cards, Eddie, that's what the Lord wants you to have?"
And Eddie said, "Sure, I need them 3x5 cards, so when the Lord speaks to me, I can write it down and remember!"
I gave Eddie $2.00 and went into the shop, and I mentioned this event to the elderly cashiere. And that's when she told me: "You know, Eddie's not fat, even though he's got that big belly. No, Eddie is tiny. But he keeps all the 3x5 cards with whatever the Lord tells him; and Eddie stores all the cards inside the front of his shirt!"
You know, that's really funny. And it made me smile. And Eddie is so very nice to everyone all the time. It's my pleasure to share some small kindness with him. Even though I am a student and am not working too often and don't have much money myself.
And why would you, dear writer, ever dream such a thought, that I could ever "tell [Eddie] how wrong [he is]"?
Who am I to say he is "wrong". Eddie is a living creature -- part of God's creation -- though too mixed up to hold a job. He survives on the "kindness of strangers" -- as you would, too, if you were him.
-- Perhaps you were meaning to make a joke. But I did not find it funny myself. Tragic lives have a way of appearing in every age. The tragedy is whether we are so cruel to overlook them.

Reality in everyday usage means 'everything that exists'. The term 'Reality', in its most liberal sense, includes everything that is, whether or not it is observable, accessible or understandable by science, philosophy, theology or any other system of analysis. Reality in this sense may include both being and nothingness, whereas "existence" is often restricted to being.
\On*tol"o*gy\, n. [Gr. ? the things which exist

It is an ugly age we live, AndyPA, with thugs who've hijacked our democracy; and -- as Dr. Z. reminds us -- the spineless ones who comport.
For people who've taken the time to assess the facts (i.e. - the run-up to the war in Iraq), it's just not easy to have civil discourse when confronted by folks who've not a clue what transpired. So, yes, it is indeed difficult to find compassion for them.
But - as I mentioned above -- just go to the RightWing sights and witness the level of profanity and insult that reigns in that realm. Here, among these people, there is hardly ever the kind of butt-kicking arrogance of language that seems to be so typical of the right.
In any event, I did't find your sarcasm appealing to me this day -- but maybe it's just my mood.
I did not mean to offend, if you are not the drip your post suggested.

Sistani Calls for Independent Slate
AFP/ ash-Sharq al-Awsat report that a spokesman for Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani said Monday that the spiritual leader supports the formation of a committee of "independents" to form a party ticket to contest the elections scheduled for January.
Hamid al-Khaffaf said at a gathering at the Sadr Center in Najaf that "A committee of independents has been formed, the mission of which to to help everyone be represented on a unified list that would gain the confidence of the supreme Shiite leadership."
The election is now slated to be held in accordance with the principle of proportional representation, such that if a party get 20 percent of the vote it gets 20 percent of the seats. Since no indpendent candidate is likely to get more than a fraction of a percent, this way of proceeding disadvantages independents.
Al-Khaffaf admitting that no ideal parliament could be elected under such an election system. He warned that the grand ayatollahs would not hesitate to bring people into the streets for the sake of a good result in the elections such that the righteous win their rights.

Organ Transplant Drug Controls Lupus Symptoms
CellCept Reduces Lupus Symptoms With Few Side Effects
By Jeanie Lerche Davis
WebMD Medical News Reviewed By Michael Smith, MD
on Monday, October 18, 2004
Oct. 18, 2004 -- The drug CellCept works in controlling lupus symptoms, yet with few short-term side effects, research shows.
CellCept is approved for preventing organ transplant rejection and is known to work for patients who have kidney damage from lupus.
However, a new study shows it holds great promise in relieving lupus symptoms for the broader numbers of patients without kidney problems.
Lupus is an immune system disease that causes fevers, joint pain, excessive fatigue, and in severe cases, major organ damage, especially to the kidneys. There is no cure for lupus.
Like many lupus drugs that work by suppressing the immune system, CellCept increases the risk of infection and the possible development of lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes.

This sentence is in the subjuctive form. What more do you want? By the grammar of the sentence, it reads: 'I did not mean to offend'.
AND - in my post prior to that, I had said:
"And why would you, dear writer, ever dream such a thought ...? ... Perhaps you were meaning to make a joke. But I did not find it funny myself."
I have not made insult to you. Your "humor" was not clear to me, as I specifically expressed.
However, you did take my own words ["silly little girl"] and use these to me ... unclear it is to me whether this is meant one way or another by you. But I haven't held you to justify that. I take it on its face that you mean no offense, and let go. Can you?

Marines Vent Frustration in Western Iraq
By FISNIK ABRASHI
Associated Press Writer
October 19, 2004, 2:58 AM EDT
QAIM, Iraq -- The sound of the Black Hawk medical helicopter is an ominous sign for the Marines patrolling this forgotten western corner of Iraq that borders Syria. It means that one of them is seriously wounded or killed by their elusive enemy.
The sound of roaring engine, shattering evening calm, gets immediately followed up with a quick whisper among the troops, trying to find out who it was -- this time.
At this Marine base, at the far west of the restless Anbar province only miles from the Syrian border, the news spreads quickly.
"We are losing guys left and right," says Cpl. Cody King, 20, of Phoenix, not hiding his anger. "All we are doing around here is getting blown up."
Most of the incidents these days, in this land of endless desert, dried-up river beds and winding dirt roads, include 155 mm artillery shells, mines and other sorts of crude homemade bombs. They make the Marines' enemy faceless and only heighten the feeling of vulnerability. The armor at their disposal is in short supply.
King and his fellow Marines from the weapons company of the 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, spoke between patrols, huddled together and sifting through their log book, venting their anger and frustration. They never talked of fear.

No, no! Conbo!
Don't do that! Nobody's head works different from ours, 'cause the femme-bullies knocked his noggin with lead pipes all his life.
I'm remembering now what my mom did. But - it's not the onion; its's GARLIC.
I wouldn't use the hot-air blowing -- air is bad, and hard to control.
What you need to do is get ear oil off the shelf. And then take a big clove of garlic and crunch is all, then put the garlic in some oil in a little pan and heat a wee bit. Just warm -- you know, like bath-tub warm for your boy. Then strain the garlic parts out with a nylon, and put the fixed-up oil in an ear syringe. Then, just a wee drop of oil in the ear canal. Have your boy lay on his side, and put something warm -- like an electric blanket or equivalent -- put the heat to his ear. The oil will gurgle into his ear, which is good, but it feels nasty to a kid (I remember this). Also - the garlic smells weird, too. So, you might put on his favorite audio tape or something ... Well, you know ...
You can probably get more info with google.
BUT HEAVENS! Just remember - what works for Nobody is only 'cause his head is not right, okay?

The CIA's very own website dissapeared recently and was replaced with a new website proclaiming itself the Central Stupidity Agency. It contained parodies, denunciations, and various insults to the most feared organization on this planet, inculding a pungent greeting:
Power Through Resistance would like to say: FUCK YOU! to the Central Intelligence Agency World Wide Website....But we already know you're all lame assholes....Never has so few brain cells done so little for no one.
This was signed by the Swedish Hackers Association, which may or may not provide the Agency with a clue as to where this gross indecency came from. The present author would suspect anywhere except Sweden.
The CIA got the website back under there own control in hours.

My mother used to heat olive oil in a spoon and drip some in my ear, when I was a tot.
She'd also put a damp, warmed washcloth up to my ear afterwards. I remember it felt sooo good.
The oil cannot be too hot, just warm. I believe she used a mtch to the bottom of the spoon.
That was over 50 years ago though.
Used to get bad sore throats also. All gone when I grew up.
We did without tubes back then so I am sure he will get over these ear infections.

In the ancient book, The Histories, by Herodotus, I recall in the author's travels there was a city where no doctors practiced. So, the people who became sick would go to a special place in the city and lay down on their blankets. There, whenever some person passed by on the street, the law dictated that each person give their advice to the sick, and state what their experience with similar symptoms had been.
Well, we've got it now! American health-care, practiced as the ancients, on MRR Blog!

Sinclair's shabby record
Monday, October 18, 2004
A mong public-interest watchdog groups, it's an article of faith that concentration of power in the hands of huge media conglomerates is dangerous. The fear is that these corporate giants could use that power to attempt to manipulate the nation's political process.
Sinclair Broadcasting Group is brazenly proving these fears well-founded. The big television conglomerate is ordering its 62 stations across the nation to pre-empt prime-time programming this week and air the documentary "Stolen Honor," attacking Sen. John Kerry.
It's the second time this year that Sinclair -- owned by financial backers of President Bush -- has misused its public license in such a manner. Last spring, when Ted Koppel of "Nightline" said he would read the names of every U.S. soldier killed in Iraq, the Baltimore-based TV chain ordered all of its ABC affiliates to pre-empt the program, saying it would "undermine the efforts of the United States in Iraq."
That was pure baloney. The company was concerned about harming Bush's re-election bid, though such worries were silly. Koppel's broadcast came off as patriotic, not political.
As First Amendment defenders, we're uncomfortable with angry Democratic senators' calls for a federal crackdown on what Sinclair stations may or may not broadcast. But the chain's deplorable performance does reinforce fears that concentrated power in use of the public airwaves can be dangerous.

Carlson doesn't get it -- Stewart won
by kos
Tue Oct 19th, 2004 at 00:55:39 GMT
Ol' Tucker doesn't know when he's been had.
Carlson on Monday fanned embers still hot from their "Crossfire" confrontation, saying Stewart looked ridiculous during his CNN appearance and was a sellout for publicly backing Democrat John Kerry for president.
I've got little to add to the whole deal. I think Stewart won, Begala was smart enough to stay quiet, and Carlson is ridiculous for thinking it was Stewart who looked ridiculous. iFilm has announced that 400,000 people downloaded the clip from their site -- and they weren't downloading it to catch Carlson's defensive rejoinders.
I mean, Stewart went on Crossfire to criticize the hosts, and the audience was cheering him, not defending the hosts. That says everything that needs to be said.

U.S. Sen. John McCain wants President Bush to be re-elected. He says so all the time. He is working very hard to make it happen. McCain is co-chairman of Bush's re-election campaign in Arizona. McCain spoke in support of Bush at the Republican National Convention. McCain has traveled with the president during the campaign, appearing with him at a number of events. Facts are facts, and the fact is that everything McCain says and does indicates he is 100 percent behind Bush. As long as you don't look at his face.
Just last week there were videotape and pictures of the two of them standing in the aisle of Air Force One the day after the Tempe debate. The president is bright-eyed and smiling in an open-collared shirt. His has his hand across the doorway behind McCain (apparently blocking the senator's escape) while McCain stands next to him wearing a dark suit and the facial expression of a Fear Factor contestant who has just been handed a plate of earthworms and a fork.

The Daily Outrage: Less Safe, Not Sorry
Reports contradict president's homeland security claims.
President Bush frequently invokes homeland security to bolster the commander-in- chief credentials essential to his re-election campaign. "One thing is for certain," Bush told reporters in a rare press conference last August. "We will do our duty to best secure our country."

Use Colloidal silver, as an ear wash, it can be taken orally too. This is a natural antibiotic.
Take Vitamin C to help boost the immune system and fight infection.
Zinc is also helpful in reducing ear infection.
If the infection has just begun take echinacea (alcohol free).
Mix lobelia and garlic oil or olive oil, place a few drops in the ear and plug it with cotton this will help with pain.

By KASEY JONES, Associated Press Writer
BALTIMORE - The Washington bureau chief for Sinclair Broadcast Group said he was fired Monday after he criticized the company's plans to produce a news program based on a documentary critical of John Kerry (news - web sites)'s Vietnam-era anti-war activities.
Jon Leiberman said he was fired by Joseph DeFeo, Sinclair's vice president for news, and "escorted out of the building."
"I was told I violated company policy by divulging information from a staff meeting to The (Baltimore) Sun in this morning's edition," Leiberman said late Monday.
That staff meeting took place Sunday at Sinclair's headquarters in Hunt Valley, Leiberman said. It was announced that the news division would produce an hourlong special based on the documentary "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," he said.

If there is a hole in the eardrum, the oil will carry bacteria-laden ear-canal contents into the middle ear, potentially causing a serious ear infection. Other problems may occur if the oil is forced into the ear canal (NEVER force ANYTHING into the ear canal), or if the child is allergic to the oil.

Army hospital flooded with Green Zone explosion victims
By Edward Harris
Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Little remains of the once-popular Green Zone Cafe except overturned tables, body parts, shattered glass and shreds of plastic sheeting — reminders of Thursday’s deadly attacks inside Baghdad’s most heavily secured area.
A day after twin bombings at the cafe and an open market inside the Green Zone — home to U.S. officials and the Iraqi government — killed six people and injured another 20, soldiers in a Humvee guarded the razor-wire encircled bomb site.
The dead included three Americans security contractors. A fourth American was missing and presumed dead, according to the State Department. Two Iraqis were also killed, including one believed to be a suicide bomber.
The U.S. military said the explosives were “hand-carried†inside the area — a warning sign of the vulnerability at the heart of the U.S.-Iraqi leadership. Last week, a bomb had been found in front of the Green Zone cafe but it was defused.
“When you’re in a fixed site like this (Green Zone), they’re going to get you. You can’t run away,†said an Army sergeant surveying the site who requested anonymity. “We don’t know how long it took them to build (the bomb) or how. Maybe there are more. “

Ear Infection home remedy
Extract 1 teaspoon juice from mango leaves. Slightly warm and use as ear drops for ear infection.
Make garlic oil: chop 1-2 bulbs of fresh garlic. Place the garlic in a double boiler, and cover with an inch of olive oil. Cover the pot, and warm the oil gently over low heat for one hour.
Strain the oil through a piece of cheesecloth, and store it in a covered glass jar in the refrigerator. To use the garlic oil, place a small amount in a metal spoon and heat it gently over a flame until warm.
Suction the oil up into an ear dropper, place a couple of drops into each ear canal, and plug the canal with a soft cotton ball. Repeat this every hour or as needed. Do not use garlic oil to treat an external ear infection or if you suspect a punctured eardrum.

Guarentee ya fresh raw garlic can 'burn'
inside the ear passage. it needs to be wrapped
with cotton wool to avoid irritating.
heating the garlic might change
the amount of volatile oils
in it and get rid of the
irritating parts.
this is why we
need to protect
the ear with the
cotton wrap. a thin
sliver was all it took.
did'nt need to be inserted deeply.
i remember how much it could hurt when
i useta get em. the warm oil is only slightly
warmer than body temp. aloe vera dries out the ear
and vitamin E oil restores moisture as it heals.
use vitamin E to avoid scarring. possibly
eating a capsule once a day will do it.

"LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The Justice Department asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Michigan Democrats that seeks to require the state to count provisional ballots cast by voters who go to the wrong polling precinct."
"The Justice Department argued in a friend-of-the-court brief Monday that the 2002 Help America Vote Act does not give individuals the right to sue if they believe their state has violated the law. Rather, they should go through a state administrative complaint process or rely on a U.S. attorney to file suit, the government said."

"My Friend, the Kidnap Victim
"My friend, John Martinkus, was the one kidnapped Saturday and held for 24 hours. He was very lucky to be freed. I had to be circumspect yesterday because of security concerns, but John is now out of the country and the embargo has been lifted. Here's the story as he related it to us:
"Saturday around 2 p.m or so, John was picked up about 500m from our hotel compound. He turned out of the front gate, took the first right -- as most of us do -- and a car stopped in front of him and a tailing car pulled in behind him. Four men with pistols jumped out and three of them managed to force their way into the car, putting guns to the heads of John, his driver and his translator. They then took him to western Baghdad, held him overnight and interrogated him.
"We're not sure what all happened during his captivity, but he was able to persuade his captors that he was an Australian and a friend to the resistance and not to the Americans. It appears, by the kidnappers' statements and questions, that they were nationalists and not jihadis, lucky for John. Also, he was lucky for not being American, because the kidnappers said if he had been, they'd have killed him quickly. They had tracked him for three days, they said, and proved it by asking him why he had gone to the Green Zone and to the Palestine on two separate days. This was how they were able to pick him up so easily."

McGUIRE AIR FORCE BASE, N.J. - Karl Rove laid himself on the line Monday for his boss, the president of the United States.
AP Photo
That is, he laid himself under the wheels of Air Force One. Reason: Unclear, but it seems to have been an inside joke between Rove and President Bush (news - web sites).
Returning to the aircraft after Bush's foreign policy speech, the two men traded words. As Bush climbed the stairs, his top political adviser set his briefcase down in front of the tires and stretched out on the ground with his back to the wheels.
Rove stood back up moments later; a smiling Bush waved from the plane and they both got aboard.
"It was a humorous moment on the campaign trail," was all Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel would say about Rove's antic.

"Race played a role in at least five of the requests, according to Matt Robb, the Republican leader of the 48th ward in South Philadelphia. Robb said he allowed his name to be used because those polling places are in neighborhoods he doesn't wish to visit."

MONTEREY, Calif. (Reuters) - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) said on Monday that his speech backing President Bush (news - web sites) at the Republican Convention in August resulted in a cold shoulder from his wife, Maria Shriver, a member of the famously Democratic Kennedy family.
Reuters Photo
Reuters
Slideshow: Arnold Schwarzenegger
"Well, there was no sex for 14 days," Schwarzenegger told former White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta in an on-stage conversation in front of 1,000 people.
"Everything comes with side effects," he said, drawing laughter from the crowd.
Panetta, a Democrat, had asked how Shriver, whose uncle was President John F. Kennedy, had reacted to his praised but partisan convention speech.
Schwarzenegger referred to Shriver several times in the 90-minute conversation.
"I don't know why I watched the presidential debates," he said. "If I want to watch a smart liberal Democrat and a Republican leader argue, all we have to do is go out to dinner. They were lucky. They only had to do it three times."
Asked about the difference between following Hollywood movie scripts and being on his own in politics, he quipped: "When you're married to my wife, you're never your own boss."
California is expected to support Democratic challenger John Kerry (news - web sites) in the election in two weeks, and Schwarzenegger, who faces re-election in 2006, has been careful not to offend the majority Democratic voters in his state.
"I think both (candidates) are doing a great job; it's very tedious to be out there campaigning a year and a half," he said at the Panetta Institute for Public Policy in Monterey. "You make one mistake and you lose the presidency."
Schwarzenegger said the one state where he might campaign for Bush outside of California was Ohio, where he owns a gym and sponsors an annual body building competition.
"I said to the president I'm perfectly willing to go to Ohio if he needs me there but I can't travel around

okay...
i am tired to death of Will feeling sick.
so this is what i'm gonna do when he wakes
up:
take a garlic clove and wrap in that ace bandage stuff...press it against his ear(s)for 4 minutes
each ear.
follow up with a warm cloth, but not wet cloth
because of the bacteria from fluid
this can't hurt him, and then maybe that crap will start draing out...his pediatrician is reluncatant to give him anymore antibiotics, he has basicly told me to see an ear specialist, which i am dragging my feet on cuz that means tubes.
okay i have a plan! yea!

For an objective view of what's going on in Iraq, I've been monitoring satellite images just about daily since before the war. The view today was as bad as some days during "major combat operations" - multiple smoke plumes from multiple sites. See for yourself:

Dr Benjamin Spock after years of promoting milk for children changed his opinion. Children who don't have dairy products in their diet rarely get ear infections. Sloppy pasteurization and storage, staph and other bacteria, blah blah blah. Won't help with existing problem, but something besides tubes that you can consider.

I did google for ear infection home remedies, and I didn't try to avoid the hot-air method, although this remedy I did not find.
I suspect you're on to something, but I didn't find it. Can you send the instructions to Conbo, maybe via email?
Actually, I'm a bit afraid that with all these different methods, Connie will use a hodge-podge of different things, and all the effort will be for naught.
If I remember correctly, this was -- according to Herodotus -- one of the leading causes of death under this practice of medicine.

Conbo, take a pot that you no longer want. Place pot on stove top and turn up all the way. Wait. If you want to make a shape out of the liquid molten mass have it ready before hand. I have never melted silver, but I believe that it is a harder metal than lead so it will take longer. Lead melts fairly quick.

While thousands of citizens like you have volunteered to work as poll
monitors, bill of rights canvassers and legal advocates, there are still
key cities and states that remain shorthanded – most notably Florida,
Ohio, Colorado and New Mexico. I’m hoping you can help us spread the
word by posting to your listservs or by email. I’ve included a couple
of samples below, though if you have the time to write something in your
own words, all the better. A personal message from you will generate
much more interest among your friends and colleagues.
And, of course, don’t limit yourselves to electronic distributions.
When you’re talking with family, friends and colleagues, tell them about
Election Protection and why you think it is so crucial this election.
Or add our link to your website. Or post a notice on your local
community bulletin board. With so little time left, our most important
goal is to make sure everyone who shares your concerns about voters’
rights knows about www.ElectionProtection.org
Please contact me via email or by telephone if you have any questions,
suggestions or concerns. And remember, that when it comes to protecting
voters’ rights, one person really can make a difference. Thank you.

MORE EAR STUFF
Ok -
Actually, this one is for "swimmer's ear", rather than an infection:
Hair dryer: Use the warm (never hot!) setting of your hair dryer and place it about an arm's length from the ear and slowly move it back and forth. Test it on your wrist after it has been running a while before using it on the ear. The warm air will evaporate any trapped water.

how about ear candles? you can get them at health food stores.
Posted by: bibimimi at October 19, 2004 02:05 PM
the primary thing is to treat the inflammation that is causing the blockage...babies own immune system can handle the infection usually if blood flow can be restored...
When you get an infection...cells are sent to that region...one type of cell in particular absorbs the invader and is then carried away by the blood stream...
If those cells are not able to carry the infection away no new cells will arrive and they will become overwhelmed by the invader...
Ears especially small ones don't have many alternate pathways for bloodflow...and when they swell internally they block off blood flow...
the swelling is a response to pain...ease the pain...it's a treatment not a cure...btw when antibiotics don't work it's for the same reason...antibiotics are not getting into the area of infection because of blocked blood flow...
if you must use an "oil" I'd personally suggest camphor as not many things like to live in it at all...you must still be careful to remove the fluid and dry the ear
Heat increases blood flow...cold stops it...
this is why some luck is had for people using onions...it opens blood vessels...however...as i said...it's food for bacteria
fact check my ass off...;)

THERE'S A WHOLE FREAKY BLOG DEDICATED TO EAR INFECTIONS HERE:
"Crush some garlic in a pan and saute with some olive oil. Let cool until just slightly warm and put it in the ear with a dropper, or put on a piece of cotton and put it in the ear. Lots of different causes for ear pain, so go see the doc if this does not help. Asprin if older, Tylenol if younger"
...
"According to my natural remedy notebook the warm oil can be used but be aware if there is the slighest tear in the eardrum it will cause more harm than good.
"The cigarette smoke is a myth. It's the warm air. you can use a hair dryer on low as long as you keep it 6-10 inces away and keep it moving like your drying your hair."

Firefighters revive dog with mouth-to-snout CPR
October 18, 2004
NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa. (AP) -- Marshall, a Labrador retriever, is none the worse for wear after surviving a house fire -- with the help of two firefighters who performed CPR.
ADVERTISEMENT
The dog was overcome and stopped breathing Friday afternoon when a kitchen fire broke out at the home of his owners, George and Katherine Kabusk, who were away on vacation. Neighbors had been looking after the young chocolate Lab.
Two firefighters who were going through the Cumberland County home looking for possible victims stumbled on the dog's limp body on the second floor and carried him outside.
New Cumberland firefighter Jason Pooler gave Marshall mouth-to-snout resuscitation while Lemoyne firefighter Kenneth Mose pushed on the dog's chest to pump the heart. Together, they revived the pooch.
After an ambulance crew gave him oxygen, Marshall was whisked to a veterinarian for a checkup. He was back before firefighters finished rolling up their hose.
"The only regret I have is I still have dog breath," Pooler said. "But I'd do it again in a minute."

Conbo, how old is your boy?
Infants are different, and maybe the hair dryer is better for the littlest ones.
I do remember the heated garlic-olive oil deal for me, but I was, like, four or five years old then.
Also - if the ear is torn inside, no liquid should be used.
NOBODY did say he got the info straight from a homeopath -- while I'm going on childhood memories. But I think it sounds as if Nobody's child is an infant -- and that could be a big difference, too.

peroxide is not advisable because it can actually cause ruptures of the drum on smaller children even though it's an antiseptic fluid...because it produces hydrogen gas when it reacts...that's the heat and bubbling...
here's a little run down on what happens when you get an ear infection...much more succinct than my version..
Middle ear infection (otitis media)
Middle ear infections usually occur along with an upper respiratory infection, such as a cold. During an upper respiratory infection, the lining of the eustachian tube swells and becomes blocked. Fluid builds up in the middle ear, which is normally air-filled, and bacteria and viruses invade, causing infection.

I don't take it for Lupus - but rather for anti-rejection purposes (Kidney Transplant). But... I would assume the side effects would be about the same in both cases. So.. if you want to hear - please let me know. I would be glad to help you out any way I can!

The policy of the Scottish Rite was to regroup unreconstructed Confederates to secure the disenfranchisement of black citizens and to promote Anglophile domination of finance and business. By the beginning of the twentieth century, there wre two great powers dominating Texas: on the one hand, the railroad empire of E.H. Harriman, served by the law firm of Baker & Botts; and on the other, the British-trained political operative Colonel Edward M. House, the controller of President Woodrow Wilson. The close relation between Baker & Botts and the Harriman interests has remained in place down to the present. And since the time that Captain Baker founded the Texas Commerce Bank, the Baker family has helped the London-New York axis run the Texas banking system.
In 1901, the discovery of large oil deposits in Texas offered great promise for the future economic development of the state, but also attracted the Anglo-American oil cartel. The Baker family law firm in Texas, like the Bush and Dulles families in New York, was aligned with the Harriman-Rockefeller cartel. Robert S. Lovett, a Baker & Botts partner from 1882 on, later became the chairman of Harriman's Union Pacific Railroad and chief counsel to E.H. Harriman. The Bakers were prominent in supporting eugenics and utopian-feudalist social engineering.

Captain James A. Baker, so the story goes, the grandfather of the current boss of Foggy Bottom, solved the murder of his client William Marsh Rice and took control of Rice's huge estate. Baker used the money to start Rice University and became the chairman of the school's board of trustees. Baker sought to create a center of diffusion of racist eugenics, and for this purpose brought in Julian Huxley of the infamous British oligarchical family to found the biology program at Rice starting in 1912. [fn 6] Huxley was the vice president of the British Eugenics Society and actually helped to organize "race science" programs for the Nazi Interior Ministry, before becoming the founding Director General of UNESCO in 1946-48.
James A. Baker III was born April 28, 1930, in the fourth generation of his family's wealth. Baker holdings have included Exxon, Mobil, Atlantic Richfield, Standard Oil of California, Standard Oil of Indiana, Kerr-McGee, Merck, and Freeport Minerals. Baker also held stock in some large New York banks during the time that he was negotiating the Latin American debt crisis in his capacity as Secretary of the Treasury

Three Teachers Evicted from Bush Event for Wearing "Protect Our Civil Liberties" T-Shirts
On October 14, they proceeded to the fairgrounds. They showed their driver's licenses and tickets at the first checkpoint. Campaign officials "were scrutinizing our T-shirts," Julian says, but they let the three in.
At the second checkpoint, which consisted of a metal detector staffed by the Secret Service, more questions arose.
"People came up and said, 'Do you know this is a Bush rally? We're concerned about your T-shirts,' " recalls Tong.
"We asked them why.
"They said, 'We don't want anything that's going to cause a disruption.'
"Then they asked, 'Are you going to vote for Bush?'
"And I said that I was undecided and my sister Candice said she was choosing not to answer because it's a personal decision."
The campaign officials said they could go in if they could guarantee they would not make a scene, Tong says. "We assured them that we did not come with any intention of being disorderly, so they said fine and said they respected our differing opinions," she recalls.
At that point, the three teachers assumed they were in, and that they could take their seats and listen to the President.
No such luck.

October 19, 2004 SINCLAIR1019
They're not on the ballot, but four brothers from Maryland could play a major role in this year's presidential election.
The Smith brothers -- David, Frederick, Robert and J. Duncan -- control 90 percent of the voting stock of Sinclair Broadcast Group, the nation's largest owner of local television stations.
Among their holdings is KMWB-TV, Channel 23, in the Twin Cities.
The Smiths usually feed their Twin Cities viewers a news-free diet. The station's weekly schedule is heavy on sitcom reruns and WB network dramas, with no regularly scheduled news programs.
But at 9 p.m. Wednesday, according to the station's schedule, KMWB will drop its regular installment of "Elimidate" to air "Stolen Honor," a documentary criticizing the antiwar protests of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry after he returned from a highly decorated tour of duty in Vietnam.
FYI for anyone out there who gets Twin Cities (Mpls - St. Paul) TV...looks like the Sinclair slam is about to begin...

i always liked the hydrogen peroxide ear fizzle thing when i was little, too
----
if i start getting any kind of sick, i just drink water, juice and vegetable broth for 1 to 3 days
and lots of garlic
usually takes care of it
if you're not sick, but sluggish, it can help that too
really, it can be preventative to do it once in a while...maybe once every two months for example..you might feel a little sick at first, especially if you eat alot of cow and lamb and pig like i do, but it is good for your immune system to let your body clean itself every once in a while...
god forbid! if you dont have to go to the doctor so often and take anti-biotics, what will happen to our precious pharmeceutical corporations?

No Gallup Towards Bush
Perpetually panicky Democrats have panicked anew at the latest CNN/USA Today/Gallup survey that show Bush up 8 points among likely voters. The same survey, of course, has Bush up just three--and under 50--among registered voters, which has generated another jeremiad by Ruy Teixeira about the weird LV assumptions in the Gallup methodology.
But here's what nervous donkeys really need to hear: four years ago today, Gallup had Bush up 13 percent among likely voters. It did not exactly turn out that way, right?

Every time CNN has a piece about the price of oil... they show this plant where these drums are coming off a filling point... as if that were crude. Now... I don't know what's in them drums but I can tell you... crude oil is not shipped in drums. Also... CNN usually shows pump jacks (as kids... we all called them horse heads when we rode in the family car through Illinois).
Mos of the crude produced worldwide is from either naturally or artificially pressured formations... open a valve... here comes the oil and natural gas.

The war in Vietnam is but a symptom of a far deeper malady within the American spirit, and if we ignore this sobering reality we will find ourselves organizing Clergy and Laymen Concerned committees for the next generation. They will be concerned about Guatemala and Peru. They will be concerned about Thailand and Cambodia. They will be concerned about Mozambique and South Africa.
We will be marching for these and a dozen other names and attending rallies without end unless there is a significant and profound change in American life and policy. …
I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented" society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered. …

Man Charged With Forgery Tries To Get Out Of Jail By Forging Documents
POSTED: 7:14 am EDT October 19, 2004
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- A man charged with forgery allegedly tried to get out of jail by -- what else? -- forging documents for his release.
Now, 20-year-old Jared J. Bailey faces new felony charges of attempted escape and forgery.
Investigators say Bailey forged the signature of Monroe Circuit Judge Douglas R. Bridges on a court order that purportedly changed his bail from $100,000 surety bond to $500 in cash.
Bailey's old roommate told police that Bailey asked him to fax the fake papers to Bailey's attorney. The friend said he went to a copy store with a fax number he thought was the attorney's, but the documents went to the jail instead, according to an affidavit.
The fake document is complete with a clerk's office stamp and a template similar to the real thing. It details a hearing in Bridges' court and states: "The defense informed the Judge that substantial evidence disputing the prosecution's claims had been found ... After hearing the new evidence presented by the defense, the court orders that the defendant's revoked bonds be reinstated, and that the corresponding holds be lifted."
Jail staff viewed the papers as suspicious and did not release Bailey, whose bond has since been raised to $250,000 surety.
In April, Bailey was charged with six felony counts of forgery and theft involving $5,200 reportedly taken from three people. Bailey is also awaiting trial on charges of burglary, felony battery, confinement with a deadly weapon, attempted armed robbery and impersonating a police officer.

MLK 4/4/67
True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth.
With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say: "This is not just." It will look at our alliance with the landed gentry of Latin America and say: "This is not just." The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just. …
Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism. With this powerful commitment we shall boldly challenge the status quo and unjust mores....
...We can no longer afford to worship the god of hate or bow before the altar of retaliation. The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of hate. History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path of hate...

Estonian Offers to Strip to Avoid Ticket
Tue Oct 19,11:15 AM ET Strange News - AP
TALLINN, Estonia - A woman pulled over by police on suspicion of driving while drunk tried to get out of the ticket by performing an impromptu striptease that was captured on police video.
Tallinn police spokeswoman Jana Zdanovits told the AP on Tuesday that the woman, who was not identified, was pulled over Monday night in the capital's Mustamae area. Zdanovits said that after the woman took, and failed, a breathalyzer test, she suddenly bared her breasts to the two officers. The police spokeswoman confirmed a tabloid report that the woman then offered the pair of officers a private performance.
Zdanovits said a police camera caught the incident on tape.
The woman faces charges of drunk driving. If found guilty, she could be fined $478 and lose her license. The average monthly salary in Estonia is around $519.
Drunk driving is a major problem in Estonia, where the average half-liter bottle of vodka can be bought for $4 and hard liquor is sold in convenience stories.

PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia's first transgender police officer is in a lot of trouble after she is accused of shooting near another officer during firearm's training.
Jan. 2004: Vince DeMentri's Complete Interview With Transgender Officer
Police officials will only say that officer Maria Gonzalez has been reassigned to desk duty because of an incident that internal affairs is investigating that allegedly happened Friday night at a firing range.
Gonzalez, 57, is scheduled for a sex change operation next summer. She takes hormones and other medication.
Back then, Gonzalez told NBC 10 in January that she notified her police department about her life change and her officers were supportive.
"All I ask is that they tolerate me and accept me," she said then.
Gonzalez is accused of mishandling firearms and putting other officers in danger.
According to sources, Gonzalez was training other officers at the police academy firing range Friday night when she got into an argument with Officer Marie Schmidt, a 17-year veteran of the force.
Gonzalez allegedly took Schmidt's gun out of her hand and fired a round at the ground, then fired another down range.
Noting the dangers of firing into the ground, police reassigned Gonzalez and she was checked into a hospital for evaluation.
NBC 10 spoke with Schmidt briefly. She was upset and would not talk about the incident

I've already given close to $1000 to defeat your guy. At the end of this month... I'm coming off another $600 to go to a swing state and help some more! Have ANY of you done ANYTHING to help Bush get re-elected?"
(turns out between 11 of them they had pooled $65 and sent that in to BC'04)
"None of you motherfuckers care enough about Bush winning to get past your own greed and lazyness. Now I'm supposed to believe you would risk ANYTHING... exert yourselves in ANY WAY to rise up against a legally elected President? Nope... you fellas are victims... you're just going to sit here in this lunch room watching FOX News and whining and THAT'S why Kerry will be the next President of the United States of America."

CHAV
The press in Britain has recently been having fun mocking a group for which pejorative descriptions have been created such as “non-educated delinquents” and “the burgeoning peasant underclass”. The subjects of these derogatory descriptions are said to be set apart by ignorance, fecklessness, mindless violence and bad taste.
To illustrate the last of these, critics point to their style of dress: a love of flashy gold jewellery (hooped earrings, thick neck chains, sovereign rings and heavy bangles, which all may be lumped together under the term bling-bling); the wearing of white trainers (in what is called “prison white”, so clean that they look new); clothes in fashionable brands with very prominent logos; and baseball caps, frequently in Burberry check, a favourite style. The women, the Daily Mail wrote recently in a characteristic burst of maidenly distaste, “pull their shoddily dyed hair back in that ultra-tight bun known as a ‘council-house facelift’, wear skirts too short for their mottled blue thighs, and expose too much of their distressingly flabby midriffs”.

I think that FMS is worse than a lot of the othes because of the response they get from people..."you look perfectly fine" "you must be faking it"...even though pain levels are commesurate with other diseases

Or these poor folks are greeted with the age old adage - "It's all in your head." God love the healthy ignorant ones out there...and see how they like it when something happens to them!

Or here's a web page Real Stream (200kb) you have to select and so forth
(the first page might show you an advert first, but you can close it), but it's better quality than the WMPlayer:

While I'm sure the film "Calling it Democracy", "Outfoxed", and "Uncovered" are all good films, they just preach to people like us, and they don't reach the people they should.

goat pipes
Known as zukra or mizwid(lit."bag") in North Africa. Consists of a reservoir made of goat skin into which are fitted two pipes - a wooden blowpipe and a double wooden chanter with two horn bells at the end. We can see Gypsies playing bagpipe in the pictures of the XIX-XXth centuries made in Syria and Palestine but today it is not played anymore in this region.

Think of all that oxy Rush gobbled down that could have treated someone in pain, rather than someone who is a pain.
He likes expensive wine and cigars, too. you mix oxy with booze and it turns you into a heap of goo.

I get the Burberry thing, but I choose to ignore it. They'll be a better word next year.

It will get worse for SGBI
Most of the institutional selling hasn't even kicked in yet. The people who are REALLY going to tank Sinclair are the guys in charge of the money markets and retirement funds who HAVE NO CHOICE but to sell. And the sooner they dump to avoid the rush... the better they will look to their own investors.
Then... its a race to the bottom!

It's a Fox affiliate, so I'll bet you they won't announce the numbers on the newscast if it looks bad for Sinclair.
I hate polls that don't give you immediate results...

Sam I like the way you speak because you sound real and relaxed not a phony. Your cohost steps on your lines all the time. Very rarely, does she let you finish a sentence. She should check her self and listen to her shrill voice. Now, she starting to dis you on the air. Most times she sounds, like a persistent drunk. Sam,I think the best shows were done when she was out with a back problem. And I know that I'm not the only one that feels this way. Sam, you sound great continue to be yourself and wear what you wish to wear. I can imagine how her breath smells, but you don't mention that reason, you are a gentleman.
I believe Jene should just relax and stop being so critical if she wants to criticize herself go on but stop criticizing you so much.She should not have the put you down to make her self taller, thats old.
