Afghan women wearing burqa line up to vote at a polling station in Kabul on Saturday, Oct. 9. 2004. Across Afghanistan voters went to the polls in the countrys first-ever direct presidential elections.
Karzai is projected to win this election hands down... the former Taliban member is the American appointee, a former mid-east adviser to Unocal from the days when Unocal was negotiating with the Taliban to build the Afghan pipeline. The US ambassador is another former Taliban supporter, Zalmay Khalilzad, another adviser to Unocal during the pipeline talks. He's also been an adviser to Presidents Bush (41) and Reagan and is a member of the US National Security Council.
It would be interesting to see how much US financial aid was given to Karzai and his 15 opponents for the "campaign". I'd be willing to wager that Karzai had the full support of the people who installed him (the US) and his opponents had zip.
I suppose whether or not that could be considered imperialistic is in the eye of the beholder, or how you define the word.
Oh yes, America is evil. As per our discussions, we've obviously made Afghani lives miserable. Voting? Self-determination? Medical care? Food? Clean water? Education? How dare we!

Interesting reply... too bad it didn't have anything to do with the topic... just a stock, weak, stereotypical, no thought required, wacko right winger statement. Who said America is evil?
The question was about American Imperialism.
"And The Phoenix's cycle had reached zenith, so he consumed himself in fire. He emerged from his own ashes, to be forever immortal."
Some examples of the Phoenix Form are Quetzalcoatl (Aztec), Shiva (Indian), and Ra-Atum (Egyptian).
The Phoenix is associated with the concept of life, the number 0, and the element of fire.
His sign is the eclipsed sun.
As a member of Form 0, you are a determined individual. You tend to keep your sense of optomism, even through tough times and have a positive outlook on most situations. You have a way of looking at going through life as a journey that you can constantly learn from. Phoenixes are the best friends to have because they cheer people up easily.
You are Form 1, Goddess: The Creator. "And The Goddess planted the acorn of life. She cried a single tear and shed a single drop of blood upon the earth where she buried it. From her blood and tear, the acorn grew into the world." Some examples of the Goddess Form are Gaia (Greek), Jehova (Christian), and Brahma (Indian). The Goddess is associated with the concept of creation, the number 1, and the element of earth. Her sign is the dawn sun. As a member of Form 1, you are a charismatic individual and people are drawn to you. Although sometimes you may seem emotionally distant, you are deeply in tune with other people's feelings and have tremendous empathy. Sometimes you have a tendency to neglect your own self. Goddesses are the best friends to have because they're always willing to help.
Wait.... I'm a goddess, too! I doan wanna be no stinkin goddess! I wanna be sumptin macho like Thor or somethin cool like that! How can I be a goddess mob boss??!!
Up early this morning cause I...well, just happened to wake up early.
Tackled some 'honey dos' and am trying to get up the courage to tackle a lab assignment using MATLAB. I say 'get up the courage' cause I've never used MATLAB before and it seems to be the preferred engineering software tool of most professors in the Jacobs School of Engineering.
I decided to just go out and buy the freakin software package because:
Hauling my ass to the prescribed labs where MATLAB is available on campus is a pain, and
the labs always seem to be locked and/or never staffed with TAs to answer questions, and
I'm gonna have to use MATLAB for several other classes before I graduate anyway
so it just seemed to be a prudent purchase. Now, I just have to figure out how to use it....
Watched the debate last night and IMO President Bush got 'medieval on Kerry's buttocks'[/Forrest Gump]. Bush was in his element with the Town Hall format and dispite the *cough* moderator forgetting that Bush was allowed to a quick rebuttal a couple of times (he's from ABC News - no surprise there), Bush dominated the night.
The one thing that boggled me was this: where did they find all the lispers in the audience? It seemed that half of the people asking their questions seemed to be drooling excessively and/or were keeping marbles in their mouths. Maybe there was a Sylvester the Cat Impersonation Contest in St. Louis...?
"forgetting that Bush was allowed to a quick rebuttal a couple of times"
According to the rules, the candidate to whom the question is addressed has two minutes to answer, his opponent then has 90 seconds to rebut. The moderator may then, at his discretion, allow an extended discussion of thirty seconds each. No candidate is "allowed" a second rebuttal other than at the moderator's discretion, when he allows an extension of discussion.
There were two notable times when Bush went ahead and started into his thirty second rebuttal without receiving the go-ahead from Gibson. The first was after the first question, directed to Bush. Bush had two minutes, Kerry had 90 seconds. Gibson was going to allow an extended discussion but Bush started in before he could.
The second time was after a question directed to Bush. He had two minutes, Kerry had 90 seconds, Gibson wanted to extend and clarify the statements made by both men, especially Kerry's assertion of a "back door draft", but Bush talked over him and interrupted him and disregarded his clarification, and, IMNSHO, lost an opportunity to address Kerry's allegation. Bush went on a rant, frothing...
"You tell Tony Blair we're going alone. Tell Tony Blair we're going alone. Tell Silvio Berlusconi we're going alone. Tell Aleksander Kwasniewski of Poland we're going alone." Poland, btw, is pulling out.
Keep in mind that the 1 minute extension is at the moderator's discretion, which he can use to further address the question at hand. Bush ignored him and did what he wanted to. But it was fortunate for Kerry, as he was then allowed 30 seconds, during which time he pointed out that countries are leaving the coalition, and that if Missouri were a country, considering the number of people from Missouri who are in Iraq, it would be the third largest contributor to the "coalition".
I agree Bush was medieval, in the Dark Ages. ;)
Oh, BTW, Bush does own 50% interest in LSTF, LLC, "a limited-liability company organized "for the purpose of the production of trees for commercial sales"" and he is considered a "small busiiness". Oops. Caught in another lie... yea I know, he forgot.
If I recall correctly from googling, there's a tutorial at/on MITs website.
Thanks! I'll poke around there....

BARF. So basically, we have Gomer Pyle on crack running our fucking country. Cool.
It's unfortunate that he had to go to Iraq to kill the terrorists that were in Afghanistan. The man is a goddamn imbecile. I just realized that that must be what republicans like best about him. He's just like them.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Rodney Dangerfield, the goggle-eyed comic famed for his self-deprecating one-liners and signature phrase "I can't get no respect," died on Tuesday at age 82, his publicist said.
Dangerfield, who became a pop culture sensation with a string of broad film comedies starting with "Caddyshack" in 1980, died at 1:20 p.m. PDT (4:20 p.m. EDT) at the UCLA Medical Center, where he had undergone heart valve replacement surgery in August, spokesman Kevin Sasaki said in a statement.
Rest in Peace Rodney. You've finally gotten the respect that you richly deserved.
Crap.
I missed all the fun.
I'm assuming it was under that "Tolerance" post? (It's political and ya know how that shit usually goes...)

Anyway... like I said, "Aw poop. I missed it."

No - this time around it's a troll from North Carolina that calls himself Nunya, but everyone around the blogsphere has taken to calling him PMR (Pummel My Rectum).
It stems from his habit of hanging around the truckstop down by the interstate and exchanging 'comfort' to truckers for french fries.....

Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski has slammed Dem president hopeful John Kerry for not recognizing Poland's contributions and sacrifice to the war in Iraq.
"It is sad that a senator with 20 years of experience does not recognize Polish contribution. This is immoral," Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski told FACTS in an interview commenting on the US Presidential Debate.
"It is sad that a senator with 20 years of experience underestimates Polish sacrifice, this is sad."
The Polish President added however that one should consider this was a part of the ongoing electoral campaign.
"I do not think this was out of ignorance," the president emphasized on the TVN Facts.
"There is one thing which should be stated clearly: this coalition is not just the United States, Great Britain, Australia alone; it also involves participation of Polish, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Spanish soldiers who have died. It is immoral not to recognize the involvement we contributed based on our conviction that there should be unity in fighting terrorism, that there was a need to display international solidarity and that Saddam Hussein was a dangerous individual of this world."
"President Bush acted like a real Texan gentleman, he made sure to show appreciation for other countries' involvement in the coalition," Kwasniewski pointed out.
Looks like you'll really have to smooze up to Fiji and Lichtenstein should you be elected in November.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, October 6, 2004 11:43 AM ||
An even better way to attract our allies is to let them know that they're a bunch of pussies for not joining us and doing stupid shit like changing the name of "French Fries" to "Freedom Fries." I love how Bush scared away all the BIG allies by being an arrogant bastard, but now he's going to try and make it look like John Kerry is undermining the contributions of countries like Poland. If Bush had been more diligent in persuading bigger allies to join us in our war in Iraq, this wouldn't even be an issue. But he couldn't be bothered because he was in a big fucking hurry. What an asshole.
Watching the debate last week, I was starting to get a little curious about Kerry's 'Four Point Plan' that he talked about, but didn't elaborate on. So I decided to check it out:
Launch And Lead A New Era Of Alliances
The threat of terrorism demands alliances on a global scale - to utilize every available resource to get the terrorists before they can strike at us. As president, John Kerry will lead a coalition of the able - because no force on earth is more able than the United States and its allies.
New alliances? With whom? Fiji? Lichtenstein? France and Germany have said that they'd tell Kerry to stick it if he won in November and asked for troops in Iraq, so there's one point that's shot to Hell.
Modernize The World's Most Powerful Military To Meet New Threats
John Kerry and John Edwards have a plan to transform the world's most powerful military to better address the modern threats of terrorism and proliferation, while ensuring that we have enough properly trained and equipped troops to meet our enduring strategic and regional missions.
We're already in the process of doing this - re-configuring the military to deal with new threats. Besides, Kerry isn't known for promoting military spending during his 20+ years in the Senate. Quite the contrary, he's done all he could to gut the military. Another one heads south....
Deploy All That Is In America's Arsenal
The war on terror cannot be won by military might alone. As president, John Kerry will deploy all the forces in America's arsenal - our diplomacy, our intelligence system, our economic power, and the appeal of our values and ideas - to make America more secure and prevent a new generation of terrorists from emerging.
Another idea that's already being done. Nice try John. Maybe you could use some of those 'human shields' that went to Iraq right before the war?? Three down....
Free America From Its Dangerous Dependence On Mideast Oil
To secure our full independence and freedom, we must free America from its dangerous dependence on Mideast oil. By tapping American ingenuity, we can achieve that goal while growing our economy and protecting our environment.
Now this would be something, if only he could pull it off. But how.....Oh! I know - we could start drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. But - ooooohhhhh, those darn environmentalists would be screaching about all the moose that would be 'displaced'.
That's a clean sweep John: ALL of your ideas are crap.
Interesting post, Mad One... long response here...
It is indeed a sad statement of Bush's sad attempt at failed diplomacy that France and Germany state they won't send troops to Iraq, but that doesn't mean the US can't repair the ties that still remain for national security purposes. If we expect them to help in the so-called Global War on Terror, we can't go around making comments like this "The use of troops to defend America must never be subject to a veto by countries like France." That will ensure they'll never help. I'm willing to give Kerry a shot at diplomacy with "old Europe". He has stated in the debate he will never give another country veto power over the US in matters of self defense, that's common sense and goes for any country, not just the US, but to make a statement like Bush did is not the way to repair the damage.
" Quite the contrary, he's done all he could to gut the military. Another one heads south.... "
Who said this?
"After completing 20 planes for which we have begun procurement, we will shut down further production of the B-2 bomber. We will cancel the small ICBM program. We will cease production of new warheads for our sea-based ballistic missiles. We will stop all new production of the Peacekeeper [MX] missile. And we will not purchase any more advanced cruise missiles. … The reductions I have approved will save us an additional $50 billion over the next five years. By 1997 we will have cut defense by 30 percent since I took office."
George Herbert Walker Bush 1992
Cheney said;
"Overall, since I've been Secretary, we will have taken the five-year defense program down by well over $300 billion. That's the peace dividend. … And now we're adding to that another $50 billion … of so-called peace dividend."
and
"Congress has let me cancel a few programs. But you've squabbled and sometimes bickered and horse-traded and ended up forcing me to spend money on weapons that don't fill a vital need in these times of tight budgets and new requirements. … You've directed me to buy more M-1s, F-14s, and F-16s—all great systems … but we have enough of them."
http://slate.msn.com/id/2096127/
Bush's diplomatic skills are questionable at best, and the entire country and the world knows that he only goes begging to the UN when he needs to save his ass, not for any real diplomacy. We're in the mess we're in now thanks to the Bush administration's "diplomacy". Our values and ideals are absent in the invasion of Iraq, replaced by a might makes right swagger that appeals mostly to people who like to compare the size of their "guns". There is no democracy in Iraq and, with the current plan there won't be, just a government installed by the US. I can't see the US as it is now, allowing someone like Sistani or Moqtada Sadr to be elected to office. In Afghanistan, the installed ruler is the former middle east adviser to Unocal. Whodathhunk.
Dependence on Middle East oil is a big problem, and it can't be fixed in four years, but an administration that isn't beholding to big oil would be better situated to begin investment in alternative energy sources and fuel conservation, like, for example, an mpg standard that auto makers have to meet. An administration that isn't beholding to big oil can begin to look at other ways of providing energy than petroleum and can begin to subsidize industries that do.
Neither candidate is the perfect candidate, but for the next four years I'll go with Kerry. One reason is that with Bush you get the same old tired deck of cards... Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Rice, Powell, and all the minions of darkness that I'd like to see gone. Another reason is I think we need someone who thinks before he acts, someone who is at least as smart, if not smarter than his advisors. Hell, even Tucker Carlson isn't sure if he's voting for Bush, why should I?
Homeowner: 'My Signs Are Going Right Back In The Yard'
MADISON, Wis. -- Madison homeowners are livid after vandals defaced their homes.
Someone burned an 8-foot-by-8-foot Nazi swastika on a home's lawn near where Bush-Cheney signs were posted. The vandals used grass killer to spray the symbol.
Several nearby homes were vandalized -- all were within a two-block radius on the West Side, near Ice Age Trail, News 3 reported.
State Republican Party officials claim it's the latest in a series of desperate acts by Democrats.
Homeowners are angry, but resolute in what they plan to do next.
"I just cannot believe that someone would take the liberty to do this," said homeowner Rob Schaeffer. "We're appalled that someone would choose to destroy our property because they don't believe in our political views. My signs are going right back in the yard. This is my property. We live here. We have rights."
Police are investigating the criminal damage and told the homeowner it will be investigated as a hate crime, which carries stiffer penalties.
You realize that if this had happened to a Kerry/Edwards supporter (and I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't), there would be people screaming repression from coast to coast.
"State Republican Party officials claim it's the latest in a series of desperate acts by Democrats."
ROFL!
Right. I love that "the latest in a series". Serial Democrats!! These unnamed vandals just HAVE TO BE democrats, no wait, DESPERATE Democrats!! Democrats Gone Wild!!! Live on Fox News at 6!!
Sure. I think it was a gang of Karl Rove wannabees.
The Republicans have already said they were going to blame any vandalism on the Democrats during the RNC, so I guess they're just following suit.
Being an asshat gets you deleted because here I AM IN CONTROL.

just got back from nashville where there was a spat of bush/cheney lawn signs destroyed in some countryside neighborhoods. same thing happened to kerry signs in FL a couple of months ago. there are loonies on both sides. but swastikas??? that's waaaay over the line.
scroff, why do the folks on your side (I really don't like the "my side-your side" terms, but...) of the spectrum assume that anything bad that could happen against the GOP is the evil work of rove and his little minions? CBS faked memos? rove. swastikas on a bush/cheney supporters lawn? rove. Washington State bush/cheney campaign HQ burglarized? rove. it's unbelievable that y'all think your side is above dirty tricks. that's pretty disingenuous, no? gotta say, though-- I agree and disagree with your comments, but they always make me smile. :-)

hi Nat
long time no see :)
I guess I wonder why every time something happens in a negative fashion to the Republicans, they immediately claim the Dems did it.
No one believes either side is above bad behavior, but to always blame the Dems is ludicrous
and a comment like that is why you don't get my blood pressure up anymore, scroff. disappointed? ;-) didn't want to mention the hot-headed mountain, but it looks like you got that covered, too. hehe
hi ruthie! I wouldn't blame dems or repubs for for the nasty crap that happens, necessarily. I'm more likely to blame "assholes" in general, and there are LOTS of them in this world, on all "sides", eh? :-) hope all is well with you guys.

Black Voters 'Afraid' of Electronic Voting Machines, Activist Says
Miami (CNSNews.com) - An African-American civil rights spokeswoman said on Wednesday that the new computerized voting machines "terrify" her, and that blacks are "afraid of machines like that."
Joanne Bland, the director and co-founder of the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute in Selma, Ala., told CNSNews.com on Wednesday that the new computerized voting machines are going to intimidate black voters in Florida and elsewhere and suppress their vote in the November presidential election because many blacks are not "technologically savvy."
"The computers really terrify me. The electronic voting -- the new machines -- I think it will turn off a segment in my community, particularly the elderly. We are not as technically savvy, and we are afraid of machines like that, and they (African-Americans) probably won't go [to the polls] and they probably won't ask for assistance, said Bland, who spent the last week in Florida.
"It is going to turn them off totally and I want that to stop," said Bland, who also serves as a spokeswoman for the Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Public Accuracy, which predicts that "several million voters" may be "deprived of voting rights again" in 2004.
When asked if she preferred low-tech punch-card ballots that produced the controversial hanging chads in Florida in 2000, Bland responded, "Now that was low technology to who? People that have been privileged to learn technology? There have been lots of changes in the United States, but if you look at the statistics, our biggest block of voters would be between 40 and 80, so when did those people have access to any kind of technology?"
As an 11-year-old in 1965, Bland took part in the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. She has just concluded a speaking tour on the history of the civil rights movement in the Miami area.
"I got the hell out of there Saturday, and I would suggest you do, too. Until we get rid of those Bushes (President George W. Bush and his brother, Florida Governor Jeb Bush), we're going to have a problem in Florida," Bland said.
GOP political operatives were quick to denounce Bland's comments.
African-American GOP consultant Tara Setmayer, who has worked on Florida congressional campaigns, called Bland's remarks "insulting" to black Americans.
"I think it's insulting to imply that African-Americans are unable to comprehend or assimilate modern-day technology," Setmayer said.
"As a registered voter in Florida, I am familiar with these touch screen voting machines,and they're very easy to understand, very voter-friendly," Setmayer told CNSNews.com. "Her claim is absurd," she added.
Syd Dinerstein, the chairman of Republican Party of Palm Beach County, also denounced Bland's comments.
"If there was ever proof positive that the black community needs a different set of leaders, statements like [Bland's] are exactly it," Dinerstein told CNSNews.com .
"I wish the Democrats thought as highly of the black community as Republicans do. We trust black parents to pick the right schools for their children, the Democrats don't. We trust black people to make informed electoral choices, the Democrats don't," Dinerstein said.
"It is sad that the soft bigotry of low expectations is at the core of the fundamental principles of the Democratic Party," he added.
Republican consultant and former political and government affairs director of the African American Republican Leadership Council Kevin Martin also rejected the idea that blacks can't grasp computerized voting.
"What Bland is trying to say is voters down there [in Florida] are dumb, they are not educating themselves. She is saying that African-Americans-- when it comes to voting -- are intellectually inferior," Martin told CNSNews.com.
"You have touch screens in grocery stores, at [state run motor vehicle offices] and African-Americans seem to have no problem using those," he added.
I honestly cannot think of anything to say to something as inane and just plain stoopid as this except that this woman needs to drink some really strong coffee and wake up cause this is the 21st century.
'...may be "deprived of voting rights again" in 2004.' They are not being DEPRIVED of their voting rights. They can fully exercise them. IF they are THAT afraid of the dang machines, they can do the absentee ballot. Sheesh.
If I were Black, I'd be severly offended by these remarks.
|| Posted by GrumpyBunny, October 4, 2004 10:51 AM ||
I don't know... I've heard many black people in my community talk about how technology scares them and it's not so much that they are "afraid" of it but that they don't trust it in any way shape or form. But in the South, a majority, and I in no way mean ALL, of the black community is highly superstitious of many things and technology is top on that list.
GrumpyBunny hit the nail on the head: absentee, baby. this lady, instead of doing this pre-emptive "stolen election" campaign, should do an absentee ballot drive. just heard on the news today that in my state (CA), absentee ballot voters are up 10x since they made it easy to be a permanent absentee voter. they estimate that 3 *million* votes will be cast via absentee this year, which will be approximately 1/3 of the total expected turnout. many people don't trust the electronic voting machines, even here in the technology hotbed. but instead of getting whiney, people are getting paper ballots. it's pretty simple, and if I were black, I'd be insulted by what this woman is implying.
cry baby.

I agree wicha nat. Absentee ballots is the way to go. The republicans in Florida sent around a flyer encouraging people to vote that way. Hows that for irony?
I don't really have to worry too much upo here in the sticks... we still use a burnt stick and slate.
CRAWFORD, Texas — The editor of the Crawford, Texas, weekly that bills itself as President Bush's hometown newspaper says he has no regrets about endorsing John Kerry, even after a dozen businesses pulled their advertising from the publication.
"I'd do it again," Leon Smith, publisher of the Lone Star Iconoclast, told the Waco Tribune-Herald in Sunday's editions.
The Iconoclast, which endorsed Bush in 2000, said it now supports the Democrat because of disillusionment with the war and Bush's actions on Social Security, the economy and other issues. An editorial dated Sept. 29 accuses the president of having a "smoke-screened agenda" and leading the United States into a "quagmire" in Iraq on flimsy pretenses.
The newspaper, with a circulation of 425, has become scarce, and copies have shown up on the eBay online auction site.
Business leaders in Bush's adopted hometown of 705 residents about 20 miles west of Waco say they support the president and are critical of the upstart newspaper.
"I think what's his name, Leon Smith, is entitled to his own opinion," said Vicki Martin, an employee at the Coffee Station convenience store and cafe, where Bush sometimes stops during stays at his ranch. "Unfortunately, his opinion hurt a lot of feelings around here. Bush is our neighbor."
I'm not very knowledgeable about newspaper circulations, but wouldn't having several advertisers pull their ads from such a small paper really hurt?
Maybe it will - maybe it won't, but I do know that you cannot use your pride to pay your employees.....
Awwww, must suck to be them! Is she bragging or complaining? So if your neighbor is a serial killer do you still have hurt feelings when they're arrested? Expletive deleted.
Hell I need to find the subscription address for this guy, I want a subscription.
And I'm sure that some advertisers will pull their ads over that too.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, October 4, 2004 12:42 PM ||
I wasn't necessarily comparing Bush to a serial killer, just her mentality that "Bush is our neighbor so Smith hurt our feelings", but I guess it would depend on how you look at it. And I agree the Bush=Hitler thing is wrong, Bush isn't that smart. ;)
The Lowell Sun is a conservative leaning paper that has never endorsed Kerry, that's the big difference here. Smith actually endorsed Bush in 2000 and supported the invasion of Iraq. He wrote an excellent editorial and showed alot of courage writing what he knew would be an unpopular opinion.
Mikey, I'm subscribing too. If I can get the rest of the guys in my local to do the same, I'm sure we can make up the loss incurred by some yokel pulling his "feed store" ad from the paper.
Christ, the only thing Texas ever had going for it was the Dallas Chowboys and even they suck these days.

u dumb ass motha-fucka u need yo ass wooped 4 that stupid response
Almost lost one of my cats to a coyote this morning.
Normally, we don't allow the cats to venture outside in the mornings as there's a chance that they'd encounter a coyote coming up from the canyon we have behind our house.
I let the cats out around 10:00 am this morning and they did their 'normal' thing: eating grass near the patio, peaking around the corner to see what is in their territory, etc. After a few minutes, one of the cats decided to come back inside while the other one stayed on the patio.
Didn't think much of the cat outside until I hear the cat tearing around the corner and slamming into the screen door. When we heard that, we knew something had scared the cat silly.
As we opened the screen door to allow a fully-inflated/puffed up cat back inside, a freakin coyote come bounding up to the porch. It stood about four feet away staring at us as the cat tore inside the house. After about two seconds, the coyote decided that confronting two humans wasn't worth the chance of getting cat tar-tar this morning.
Katey was Madam Puffy Tail for quite a while and wasn't in the mood to be consoled about being almost eaten, so we left her alone.
What's freaky is that normally you don't see coyotes outside the canyon except at night or maybe the early morning.
They're doing some sort of construction down in the canyon - presumably to build more student housing for the University - and the coyotes (and the wabbits and other critters they eat) are getting squeezed out. I guess we'll have to keep the cats inside from now on.
It does not matter WHAT time of day it is here. We see them all day. We lost our beloved Tozer to a coyote because our gate did not close properly and she slipped out. All we found was a tuft of her fur. :(
"He always did eat salad, but he wouldn't cooked greens," she said. "Now he always has broccoli and loves Brussels sprouts." He also eats more salads and tomatoes, green peas, lentils, beans and other vegetables, she said.
Is Kerry gunning for the vegan vote?
Does anyone really care about inane crap like this?
I must confess, I'm a veggie-a-holic (don't ask me how many bags of salad I ate today....I lost count).
I give him points for Broccoli (as I love it), but Brussle sprouts are a major negative against him.
and how can he not know how to cook the stuff? All you gotta do is go to the store, hit the freezer section, buy a package and follow the instructions for the microwave.
Remember what a big deal the press made of the fact that George Bush Sr. hated broccoli. This is probably a back-handed slap at the Bushes by showing them what a sensitive, veggie-loving guy Kerry is. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

Comments on American Empire?
Great picture....
Karzai is projected to win this election hands down... the former Taliban member is the American appointee, a former mid-east adviser to Unocal from the days when Unocal was negotiating with the Taliban to build the Afghan pipeline. The US ambassador is another former Taliban supporter, Zalmay Khalilzad, another adviser to Unocal during the pipeline talks. He's also been an adviser to Presidents Bush (41) and Reagan and is a member of the US National Security Council.
It would be interesting to see how much US financial aid was given to Karzai and his 15 opponents for the "campaign". I'd be willing to wager that Karzai had the full support of the people who installed him (the US) and his opponents had zip.
I suppose whether or not that could be considered imperialistic is in the eye of the beholder, or how you define the word.
|| Posted by scroff, October 9, 2004 11:54 AM ||Oh yes, America is evil. As per our discussions, we've obviously made Afghani lives miserable. Voting? Self-determination? Medical care? Food? Clean water? Education? How dare we!
|| Posted by Da Goddess, October 10, 2004 10:24 PM ||Interesting reply... too bad it didn't have anything to do with the topic... just a stock, weak, stereotypical, no thought required, wacko right winger statement. Who said America is evil?
|| Posted by scroff, October 12, 2004 07:46 AM ||The question was about American Imperialism.

The Phoenix
You are Form 0, Phoenix: The Eternal.
"And The Phoenix's cycle had reached
zenith, so he consumed himself in fire. He
emerged from his own ashes, to be forever
immortal."
Some examples of the Phoenix Form are Quetzalcoatl
(Aztec), Shiva (Indian), and Ra-Atum (Egyptian).
The Phoenix is associated with the concept of life,
the number 0, and the element of fire.
His sign is the eclipsed sun.
As a member of Form 0, you are a determined
individual. You tend to keep your sense of
optomism, even through tough times and have a
positive outlook on most situations. You have
a way of looking at going through life as a
journey that you can constantly learn from.
Phoenixes are the best friends to have because
they cheer people up easily.
Which Mythological Form Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Comments on The Phoenix
You are Form 1, Goddess: The Creator. "And The Goddess planted the acorn of life. She cried a single tear and shed a single drop of blood upon the earth where she buried it. From her blood and tear, the acorn grew into the world." Some examples of the Goddess Form are Gaia (Greek), Jehova (Christian), and Brahma (Indian). The Goddess is associated with the concept of creation, the number 1, and the element of earth. Her sign is the dawn sun. As a member of Form 1, you are a charismatic individual and people are drawn to you. Although sometimes you may seem emotionally distant, you are deeply in tune with other people's feelings and have tremendous empathy. Sometimes you have a tendency to neglect your own self. Goddesses are the best friends to have because they're always willing to help.

Thhhhuffering Thuuccotash!
Tackled some 'honey dos' and am trying to get up the courage to tackle a lab assignment using MATLAB. I say 'get up the courage' cause I've never used MATLAB before and it seems to be the preferred engineering software tool of most professors in the Jacobs School of Engineering.
I decided to just go out and buy the freakin software package because:
- Hauling my ass to the prescribed labs where MATLAB is available on campus is a pain, and
- the labs always seem to be locked and/or never staffed with TAs to answer questions, and
- I'm gonna have to use MATLAB for several other classes before I graduate anyway
so it just seemed to be a prudent purchase. Now, I just have to figure out how to use it....Watched the debate last night and IMO President Bush got 'medieval on Kerry's buttocks'[/Forrest Gump]. Bush was in his element with the Town Hall format and dispite the *cough* moderator forgetting that Bush was allowed to a quick rebuttal a couple of times (he's from ABC News - no surprise there), Bush dominated the night.
The one thing that boggled me was this: where did they find all the lispers in the audience? It seemed that half of the people asking their questions seemed to be drooling excessively and/or were keeping marbles in their mouths. Maybe there was a Sylvester the Cat Impersonation Contest in St. Louis...?
Comments on Thhhhuffering Thuuccotash!
I thought Bush looked like Yosemite Sam having a temper tantrum.
|| Posted by ruthie, October 9, 2004 11:08 AM ||"forgetting that Bush was allowed to a quick rebuttal a couple of times"
According to the rules, the candidate to whom the question is addressed has two minutes to answer, his opponent then has 90 seconds to rebut. The moderator may then, at his discretion, allow an extended discussion of thirty seconds each. No candidate is "allowed" a second rebuttal other than at the moderator's discretion, when he allows an extension of discussion.
There were two notable times when Bush went ahead and started into his thirty second rebuttal without receiving the go-ahead from Gibson. The first was after the first question, directed to Bush. Bush had two minutes, Kerry had 90 seconds. Gibson was going to allow an extended discussion but Bush started in before he could.
The second time was after a question directed to Bush. He had two minutes, Kerry had 90 seconds, Gibson wanted to extend and clarify the statements made by both men, especially Kerry's assertion of a "back door draft", but Bush talked over him and interrupted him and disregarded his clarification, and, IMNSHO, lost an opportunity to address Kerry's allegation. Bush went on a rant, frothing...
"You tell Tony Blair we're going alone. Tell Tony Blair we're going alone. Tell Silvio Berlusconi we're going alone. Tell Aleksander Kwasniewski of Poland we're going alone." Poland, btw, is pulling out.
Keep in mind that the 1 minute extension is at the moderator's discretion, which he can use to further address the question at hand. Bush ignored him and did what he wanted to. But it was fortunate for Kerry, as he was then allowed 30 seconds, during which time he pointed out that countries are leaving the coalition, and that if Missouri were a country, considering the number of people from Missouri who are in Iraq, it would be the third largest contributor to the "coalition".
I agree Bush was medieval, in the Dark Ages. ;)
Oh, BTW, Bush does own 50% interest in LSTF, LLC, "a limited-liability company organized "for the purpose of the production of trees for commercial sales"" and he is considered a "small busiiness". Oops. Caught in another lie... yea I know, he forgot.
|| Posted by scroff, October 9, 2004 12:38 PM ||Matlab! I remember MATLAB! I was basically told to use it w/o being formally taught how to. It was daunting.
If I recall correctly from googling, there's a tutorial at/on MITs website.
|| Posted by jaws, October 9, 2004 02:28 PM ||I thought the "getting medieval" phrase was from Pulp Fiction after Bruce Willis and Vin What's-His-Name were "abused" in the dungeon.
|| Posted by The Other Mike S, October 9, 2004 04:30 PM ||If I recall correctly from googling, there's a tutorial at/on MITs website.
Thanks! I'll poke around there....
TOMS: It is - I was thinking of the 'Mad TV' spoof called 'Gump Fiction' when I wrote that.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, October 9, 2004 04:56 PM ||I used Matlab 1 semester and it was in a obscure unstaffed lab too. But never used it again, could do all my civil work in excel and write macros in visual basic.
|| Posted by The Pirate, October 11, 2004 06:46 AM ||The reason I need MATLAB is that this is a Signals & Systems class and this particular lab involves sound files.

Scary Kerry & the Death Bunny
Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kerry is resorting to scare tactics again.
Instead of simply repeating myths & rumors to scare the electorate, he's showing them the true meaning of terror: Iraqi Death Bunnies™.
Does this man have no decency!?!

I just had to teach one person a lesson on being a smartass, especially when putting bogus e-mail addresses in the comments section.

|| Posted by Mad Mikey, October 6, 2004 11:43 AM ||An even better way to attract our allies is to let them know that they're a bunch of pussies for not joining us and doing stupid shit like changing the name of "French Fries" to "Freedom Fries." I love how Bush scared away all the BIG allies by being an arrogant bastard, but now he's going to try and make it look like John Kerry is undermining the contributions of countries like Poland. If Bush had been more diligent in persuading bigger allies to join us in our war in Iraq, this wouldn't even be an issue. But he couldn't be bothered because he was in a big fucking hurry. What an asshole.

Four Points of John
Watching the debate last week, I was starting to get a little curious about Kerry's 'Four Point Plan' that he talked about, but didn't elaborate on. So I decided to check it out:
Read More of "Four Points of John"That's a clean sweep John: ALL of your ideas are crap.
All done with "Four Points of John"?
Comments on Four Points of John
Interesting post, Mad One... long response here...
It is indeed a sad statement of Bush's sad attempt at failed diplomacy that France and Germany state they won't send troops to Iraq, but that doesn't mean the US can't repair the ties that still remain for national security purposes. If we expect them to help in the so-called Global War on Terror, we can't go around making comments like this "The use of troops to defend America must never be subject to a veto by countries like France." That will ensure they'll never help. I'm willing to give Kerry a shot at diplomacy with "old Europe". He has stated in the debate he will never give another country veto power over the US in matters of self defense, that's common sense and goes for any country, not just the US, but to make a statement like Bush did is not the way to repair the damage.
" Quite the contrary, he's done all he could to gut the military. Another one heads south.... "
Who said this?
"After completing 20 planes for which we have begun procurement, we will shut down further production of the B-2 bomber. We will cancel the small ICBM program. We will cease production of new warheads for our sea-based ballistic missiles. We will stop all new production of the Peacekeeper [MX] missile. And we will not purchase any more advanced cruise missiles. … The reductions I have approved will save us an additional $50 billion over the next five years. By 1997 we will have cut defense by 30 percent since I took office."
George Herbert Walker Bush 1992
Cheney said;
"Overall, since I've been Secretary, we will have taken the five-year defense program down by well over $300 billion. That's the peace dividend. … And now we're adding to that another $50 billion … of so-called peace dividend."
and
"Congress has let me cancel a few programs. But you've squabbled and sometimes bickered and horse-traded and ended up forcing me to spend money on weapons that don't fill a vital need in these times of tight budgets and new requirements. … You've directed me to buy more M-1s, F-14s, and F-16s—all great systems … but we have enough of them."
http://slate.msn.com/id/2096127/
Bush's diplomatic skills are questionable at best, and the entire country and the world knows that he only goes begging to the UN when he needs to save his ass, not for any real diplomacy. We're in the mess we're in now thanks to the Bush administration's "diplomacy". Our values and ideals are absent in the invasion of Iraq, replaced by a might makes right swagger that appeals mostly to people who like to compare the size of their "guns". There is no democracy in Iraq and, with the current plan there won't be, just a government installed by the US. I can't see the US as it is now, allowing someone like Sistani or Moqtada Sadr to be elected to office. In Afghanistan, the installed ruler is the former middle east adviser to Unocal. Whodathhunk.
Dependence on Middle East oil is a big problem, and it can't be fixed in four years, but an administration that isn't beholding to big oil would be better situated to begin investment in alternative energy sources and fuel conservation, like, for example, an mpg standard that auto makers have to meet. An administration that isn't beholding to big oil can begin to look at other ways of providing energy than petroleum and can begin to subsidize industries that do.
Neither candidate is the perfect candidate, but for the next four years I'll go with Kerry. One reason is that with Bush you get the same old tired deck of cards... Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Rice, Powell, and all the minions of darkness that I'd like to see gone. Another reason is I think we need someone who thinks before he acts, someone who is at least as smart, if not smarter than his advisors. Hell, even Tucker Carlson isn't sure if he's voting for Bush, why should I?

Tolerance? Part II
Can't stand the thought of someone else having an opinion different from your own? Burn a swastika:
You realize that if this had happened to a Kerry/Edwards supporter (and I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't), there would be people screaming repression from coast to coast.Comments on Tolerance? Part II
"State Republican Party officials claim it's the latest in a series of desperate acts by Democrats."
ROFL!
Right. I love that "the latest in a series". Serial Democrats!! These unnamed vandals just HAVE TO BE democrats, no wait, DESPERATE Democrats!! Democrats Gone Wild!!! Live on Fox News at 6!!
Sure. I think it was a gang of Karl Rove wannabees.
The Republicans have already said they were going to blame any vandalism on the Democrats during the RNC, so I guess they're just following suit.

|| Posted by nunya/PMR, October 5, 2004 08:16 AM ||just got back from nashville where there was a spat of bush/cheney lawn signs destroyed in some countryside neighborhoods. same thing happened to kerry signs in FL a couple of months ago. there are loonies on both sides. but swastikas??? that's waaaay over the line.
scroff, why do the folks on your side (I really don't like the "my side-your side" terms, but...) of the spectrum assume that anything bad that could happen against the GOP is the evil work of rove and his little minions? CBS faked memos? rove. swastikas on a bush/cheney supporters lawn? rove. Washington State bush/cheney campaign HQ burglarized? rove. it's unbelievable that y'all think your side is above dirty tricks. that's pretty disingenuous, no? gotta say, though-- I agree and disagree with your comments, but they always make me smile. :-)

I guess I wonder why every time something happens in a negative fashion to the Republicans, they immediately claim the Dems did it.
No one believes either side is above bad behavior, but to always blame the Dems is ludicrous
Hey nat!
Rove has a history of being a "dirty trickster", rumor has it he even bugged his own office and blamed the Dems during the race for gov.
I just like to say it... we used to blame Bush for everything, now we know it's Rove...
Mt. St. Helens? Rove!
|| Posted by scroff, October 5, 2004 01:22 PM ||and a comment like that is why you don't get my blood pressure up anymore, scroff. disappointed? ;-) didn't want to mention the hot-headed mountain, but it looks like you got that covered, too. hehe
hi ruthie! I wouldn't blame dems or repubs for for the nasty crap that happens, necessarily. I'm more likely to blame "assholes" in general, and there are LOTS of them in this world, on all "sides", eh? :-) hope all is well with you guys.

You Think It's Bad HERE!?
Do you think that we currently live in a 'fascist' state where you might get in trouble for saying something off-the-cuff?
Keep your response in mind and go read what Jeff at Beautiful Atrocities has to say about Sweden - it'll make you re-think your response to the above question.

In Need of Coffee
I heard about this on the radio this morning while driving into work and just about drove off the road:
(by way of La Shawn Barber and fellow Munuvian Michael King)
Read More of "In Need of Coffee"All done with "In Need of Coffee"?
Comments on In Need of Coffee
'...may be "deprived of voting rights again" in 2004.' They are not being DEPRIVED of their voting rights. They can fully exercise them. IF they are THAT afraid of the dang machines, they can do the absentee ballot. Sheesh.
If I were Black, I'd be severly offended by these remarks.
|| Posted by GrumpyBunny, October 4, 2004 10:51 AM ||I don't know... I've heard many black people in my community talk about how technology scares them and it's not so much that they are "afraid" of it but that they don't trust it in any way shape or form. But in the South, a majority, and I in no way mean ALL, of the black community is highly superstitious of many things and technology is top on that list.
|| Posted by Chelle, October 4, 2004 04:55 PM ||GrumpyBunny hit the nail on the head: absentee, baby. this lady, instead of doing this pre-emptive "stolen election" campaign, should do an absentee ballot drive. just heard on the news today that in my state (CA), absentee ballot voters are up 10x since they made it easy to be a permanent absentee voter. they estimate that 3 *million* votes will be cast via absentee this year, which will be approximately 1/3 of the total expected turnout. many people don't trust the electronic voting machines, even here in the technology hotbed. but instead of getting whiney, people are getting paper ballots. it's pretty simple, and if I were black, I'd be insulted by what this woman is implying.
cry baby.
|| Posted by nathaile, October 5, 2004 08:54 AM ||I agree wicha nat. Absentee ballots is the way to go. The republicans in Florida sent around a flyer encouraging people to vote that way. Hows that for irony?
I don't really have to worry too much upo here in the sticks... we still use a burnt stick and slate.

Cause & Effect I
Another demonstration of 'Cause & Effect':
I'm not very knowledgeable about newspaper circulations, but wouldn't having several advertisers pull their ads from such a small paper really hurt?Maybe it will - maybe it won't, but I do know that you cannot use your pride to pay your employees.....
Comments on Cause & Effect I
"Bush is our neighbor"
Awwww, must suck to be them! Is she bragging or complaining? So if your neighbor is a serial killer do you still have hurt feelings when they're arrested? Expletive deleted.
Hell I need to find the subscription address for this guy, I want a subscription.
|| Posted by scroff, October 4, 2004 08:32 AM ||Come on Scroff - comparing President Bush to a serial killer is a weak argument; it's right up there with 'Bush = Hitler'.
I just posted this to demonstrate cause & effect in the reality of the world of politics.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, October 4, 2004 10:19 AM ||But didn't you hear that the Lowell Sun, Kerry's hometown paper endorsed Bush
|| Posted by jaws, October 4, 2004 12:34 PM ||And I'm sure that some advertisers will pull their ads over that too.
|| Posted by Mad Mikey, October 4, 2004 12:42 PM ||I wasn't necessarily comparing Bush to a serial killer, just her mentality that "Bush is our neighbor so Smith hurt our feelings", but I guess it would depend on how you look at it. And I agree the Bush=Hitler thing is wrong, Bush isn't that smart. ;)
The Lowell Sun is a conservative leaning paper that has never endorsed Kerry, that's the big difference here. Smith actually endorsed Bush in 2000 and supported the invasion of Iraq. He wrote an excellent editorial and showed alot of courage writing what he knew would be an unpopular opinion.
|| Posted by scroff, October 4, 2004 01:30 PM ||Mikey, I'm subscribing too. If I can get the rest of the guys in my local to do the same, I'm sure we can make up the loss incurred by some yokel pulling his "feed store" ad from the paper.
Christ, the only thing Texas ever had going for it was the Dallas Chowboys and even they suck these days.

Madame Puffy Tail
Normally, we don't allow the cats to venture outside in the mornings as there's a chance that they'd encounter a coyote coming up from the canyon we have behind our house.
I let the cats out around 10:00 am this morning and they did their 'normal' thing: eating grass near the patio, peaking around the corner to see what is in their territory, etc. After a few minutes, one of the cats decided to come back inside while the other one stayed on the patio.
Didn't think much of the cat outside until I hear the cat tearing around the corner and slamming into the screen door. When we heard that, we knew something had scared the cat silly.
As we opened the screen door to allow a fully-inflated/puffed up cat back inside, a freakin coyote come bounding up to the porch. It stood about four feet away staring at us as the cat tore inside the house. After about two seconds, the coyote decided that confronting two humans wasn't worth the chance of getting cat tar-tar this morning.
Katey was Madam Puffy Tail for quite a while and wasn't in the mood to be consoled about being almost eaten, so we left her alone.
What's freaky is that normally you don't see coyotes outside the canyon except at night or maybe the early morning.
They're doing some sort of construction down in the canyon - presumably to build more student housing for the University - and the coyotes (and the wabbits and other critters they eat) are getting squeezed out. I guess we'll have to keep the cats inside from now on.
Comments on Madame Puffy Tail
It does not matter WHAT time of day it is here. We see them all day. We lost our beloved Tozer to a coyote because our gate did not close properly and she slipped out. All we found was a tuft of her fur. :(
|| Posted by Maeve, October 3, 2004 08:52 PM ||Scary. I've never seen a coyote in our neighborhood, but we don't let our cats out anyway. Thank goodness you saved Madame PT.
|| Posted by Cait, October 4, 2004 05:59 AM ||I don't think Katey will be wanting to go outside anytime soon and if she does, how far will be measured in feet...

Brussel Sprouts for Kerry
Is this the mark of a great leader?
Is Kerry gunning for the vegan vote?Does anyone really care about inane crap like this?
Is The New York Times hard up for material?
Comments on Brussel Sprouts for Kerry
I must confess, I'm a veggie-a-holic (don't ask me how many bags of salad I ate today....I lost count).
I give him points for Broccoli (as I love it), but Brussle sprouts are a major negative against him.
and how can he not know how to cook the stuff? All you gotta do is go to the store, hit the freezer section, buy a package and follow the instructions for the microwave.
|| Posted by jaws, October 3, 2004 04:03 PM ||Remember what a big deal the press made of the fact that George Bush Sr. hated broccoli. This is probably a back-handed slap at the Bushes by showing them what a sensitive, veggie-loving guy Kerry is. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it.
