it's nearly 7000 folk on the poll now, still same 58%
75 on the last thread.
Interesting reason...and not a bad one.
I've been trying not to shop at Walmart for years (it's the only place to buy certain things...like say a shower curtain...in this town), but now I've seriously put my foot down. I now spend 10 times more time in every store reading frickin labels to see where stuff is made. Just wondering if anyone else has been "awakened" by the latest developments...and why the MSM seems to be ignoring it or reporting strangily on it. Is poisoined imported products not a REALLY BIG DEAL?????
Well, Norton what a fine mess you've gotten us into this time!
... is about all that the corporate owned media could say at this point. I'm bettin' that the folks who make the calls on what is to be kept tamped down in the news have their manufacturing facilities in China.
BTW, those same folks never cover the horror stories of 'population control' and slavish workplaces in the communist nation of China. (small secret: they also are in on the war machine that takes out loans hourly from the vile forced abortionists. Read the above story and see that we dropped 39,000 pounds of bombs on the Iraqi landscape in the last 48 hours)
War is peace... death is life. Heil Bush!
An adjustment on an oldie, but goody--
A framing suggestion.
May I suggest that Imagine Peace may be more universal than visualize Peace.
Some people probably don't think, or don't know, or aren't sure, if they even know how to visualize.
But it you suggest that someone imagine peace. They can imagine it.
They can "image" it, which is really the same as visualizing.
By getting someone to imagine something, you are getting them to create the future through their imagining.
Nothing exists that wasn't first imagined, even by God. We are made in his "image.'
Imagine peace.
Imagining is not pretend.
Imagine is an ACTION VERB.
See peace.
May I suggest that Imagine Peace may be more universal than visualize Peace.
May I suggest that Do Peace is more proactive?
Well gotta frag my brain around 7 chapters of poetry, then write a 650 word essay on one of them, based on critical analyses that are a maybe another 60 pages long.
... that is after a 4 1/2 hour class tonight on Managing and troubleshooting PC. The prof had a nice surprise 95 question quiz for us on hard drives, bios, and configuration. Is that why i'm not in such a good mood?
naaaayyyy, it's the total disaster of a mess the wingnuts and neocons have given us... and the fact that a Dem Congress is still funding/re-authorizing it.
Norton!!
Here's what dictionary.com says about the word imagine

Favorite Quote: We hold these truths to be self-evident, ... --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

I would vote for Hillary over any republican in an instant.
Her ad is very emotional. It was very effective. (i just saw it on Olb)
Her negatives are a legitimate concern.
I could see Hillary as a modern day Eleanor Roosvelt being President.
But she has got to find a way to prove prove prove, not give politcal lip-service, that she is not part of the corporatist, perhaps even Big Brothery, dare I say, verging of the political F word.
Prove it.

Thank you for this
Our founding fathers Engineered the Greatest Power Non-Grab or Power Giveaway in the (not yelling, only for emphasis)...POWER GIVEAWAY IN THE HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION.
THAT IS A POLITCAL TURN OF THE OTHER CHEEK.
Greatest power Giveaway in the history of civilization....our very own warm, cuddly, Founding Fathers.
The other recent Power Giveaway in our lifetimes is the people-powered Revolution that was born out of the Dean Campaign.
Hellary can say she's a progressive all she wants and it doesn't make it true. Her voting is suspect. Remember that they tell us what they think we want to hear. She'll have to prove it come Sept when putz wants their money and souls. Sorry, I don't trust her. And Rove will decimate her with her past, which he'll use to swift boat her. She should be joining Dennis to impeach Cheney. Is she? Will she? If she wants my vote, she's going to have to...ditto the others. Progressives impeach!
We saw this coming and our critters should be impeaching instead of vacationing. Will the BH bomb Iran during recess (the word applies to this children we call Congress).

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 — The Bush administration is preparing to declare that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps is a foreign terrorist organization, senior administration officials said Tuesday.
Skip to next paragraph Enlarge This Image
Mohammad Berno/Document Iran, via Atlas Press Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, at a ceremony with Revolutionary Guard members in Tehran in November.
If imposed, the declaration would signal a more confrontational turn in the administration’s approach to Iran and would be the first time that the United States has added the armed forces of any sovereign government to its list of terrorist organizations.
The Revolutionary Guard is thought to be the largest branch of Iran’s military. While the United States has long labeled Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, a decision to single out the guard would amount to an aggressive new challenge from an American administration that has recently seemed conflicted over whether to take a harder line against Tehran over its nuclear program and what American officials have called its destabilizing role in Iraq.
According to European diplomats, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has warned of the move in recent conversations with European counterparts, saying that a delay in efforts to win approval from the United Nations Security Council for further economic sanctions on Iran was leaving the administration with little choice but unilateral action.
A move toward putting the Revolutionary Guard on the foreign terrorist list would serve at least two purposes for Ms. Rice: to pacify, for a while, administration hawks who are pushing for possible military action, and to further press America’s allies to ratchet up sanctions against Iran in the Security Council.

Crime and Punishment, USA style, except that the people behind bars are the small fry - many perhaps innocent and they are called poor and black; while the big fish keep fueling the drug/oil wars. These are called white powerful corporate men. Shall we start now a war on truth or war on lies?
A nation's brutal approach to punishment By Andrew Gumbel Published: 15 August 2007The persistence of the death penalty is only one way in which the United States stands out from the rest of the Western world on crime and punishment.
It also has the highest incarceration rate of any country, with more than two million people behind bars. (China, second in the rankings, has an estimated 1.5 million, and Russia just short of 900,000.) The US has just 5 per cent of the world's population, but 25 per cent of its overall prison population.
Some of the reasons behind the extraordinary machinery of incarceration - including the death penalty - is cultural and historical. In the South, in particular, the phenomenon is inextricably linked to the long history of racial inequality, with blacks put away in numbers vastly disproportionate to their overall population.
The states with the highest ratio of prisoners per population are all former slave states with long traditions of jailhouse brutality, chain gangs and other barbaric practices: Louisiana (816 prisoners per 100,000 people), Texas (694) and Mississippi (669). In many states, blacks are up to 15 times as likely as whites to find themselves behind bars. In Florida, one in three adult black men has a criminal record.
Some trends, though, are more recent - tied, in particular, to the mania for tough-on-crime legislation that has swept state after state in the past 25 years.
The national prison population has quadrupled since 1980, the increase fuelled in particular by the "war on drugs" and the consequent incarceration of hundreds of thousands of petty drug offenders. That, in turn, has exacerbated a host of problems from overcrowding to prison rape to the formation of ultra-violent prison gangs, many of them based on deep racial hatred.

When it comes to the issue of impeachment, it really ought not even be an issue. Here we have what a presidency that is making the most systematic attack on our constitutional democracy in the nation's history, and a Congress whose oath of office commits all the members to protect and defend the Constitution.
An oath. No small thing.
A promise is always an important commitment. But an oath is not just an ordinary promise. An oath is a promise made in such a way as to accentuate its importance, and to make it binding, as much as is possible to do.
An oath has been defined thus:

Squeal, piggies, squeal!
And, at least one of them did.
The porcine puppet of the perverted presidency, Rush Limbaugh, was in full-tilt tremors Monday after Karl Rove announced his resignation.
He was defending, of course, the porker who fed at the public trough as George Bush's braintrust, acting as if liberals wanted Rove's head brought to them on a stick.
Damn right we did!
And, maybe now, we'll get it as Rove moves away from his protected position within the administration, leaving the hapless idiot in the White House to his own and Dick Cheney's devices.
No Scooter.
No Rummy.
No Ashcroft.
No Rove.
No hope for avoiding the blame because there's nobody left to pile this stack of pig shit on but George and Dick as this nation's Orwellian nightmare continues.
Now all we need is for Cheney to pull out of Washington, D.C. and head home to Wyoming with a bad heart and the little creep in the White House will only have Condoleezza Rice left to provide succor and Alberto Gonzalez to deflect attention.
Unfortunately, even though the weasels are sneaking out the back door, the damage is already done.
Bush has maintained for some time now that the jury is still out on his presidency and will be for some time, just as it is on George Washington.
That's partially correct. Washington? I don't know many -- if any -- who question his presidency.
Bush? Well, the jury's out because it's still puking its guts out after the evidence of more than six years of abuse, lies and a squash-brained leader who makes Dan Quayle look like president of Mensa.http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/9332

Sometimes I'm amazed at how much I know about the financial markets and the economy. I don't understand any of it, but I know a lot of stuff, thanks to my friend and mentor, Richard Walrath, who's been to the market more than once. He says when George Bush brags that the economy is booming, he's probably right. The economy is exploding with a big boom, and Walrath says now we are engaged in a great battle to see how long this country can endure.
The Fed just poured a bunch of money into the market, which was news to me, but Walrath said the Fed has been manipulating the market for years, especially during the Bush years.

Feeding the beast: US, UK flood the Middle East with arms by Weldon Berger | Aug 14 2007 - 8:50am | permalinkarticle tools: email | print | read more Weldon Berger
U.S. secretary of state Condoleezza Rice appears to have reverted to her Cold War roots with her announcement last month, in tandem with fellow cold warrior and US defense secretary Robert Gates, that the US intends to sell some $20 billion worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The Rice plan also includes increased military aid to Israel — totaling $30 billion across ten years — and renews more than $1 billion in annual military aid to Egypt. Rice says the plan will "help bolster forces of moderation and support a broader strategy to counter the negative influences of al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran."
Between the sales and the aid (which will fuel more sales), the U.S. will be tossing more than $60 billion worth of weapons and equipment into the region during the next ten years. In addition to that, news has leaked that British defense giant BAE — also a major player in the U.S. — is about to ink a deal to sell $20 billion worth of jet fighters to the Saudis, bringing the total to $80 billion, give or take a few. The BAE deal allows the Saudis to update its fighter fleet, which includes planes previously purchased from BAE in a 1984 deal that spawned a corruption investigation, involving Saudi foreign minister and Bush family friend Prince Bandar bin Sultan, which was killed by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair late last year.

BUSH VACATIONS, PLANS WAR IN IRAN
By Bill Gallagher
"We're getting into kind of a relaxed period here." -- President George W. Bush, Aug. 9, 2007.
DETROIT -- Wake up, world! Cling to your children and loved ones. Prepare for the worst. Be vigilant. Don't relax. Bush at rest is terrifying -- often worse than Bush at war. The most rested and relaxed president in U.S. history is also our most dangerous and reckless, incapable of reflection or remorse.
Bush gives little thought to grave matters, won't tolerate dissension and surrounds himself with his "nanny corps" of enablers and protectors. His decisions flow almost exclusively from visceral vision -- his "gut" -- and, of course, his regular conversations with God.
After a brief visit with his family in Kennebunkport, Maine, where it's cool, Bush will trek off to the oppressive heat of west Texas, to the Potemkin village the media dutifully calls his "Crawford ranch."
Bush has spent 418 days of his presidency at the faux ranch, where the public view of him is this man of great action, chopping and clearing mesquite wood and riding his bike. The image of this sweating, manly man buttresses his claim to be the "decider" and the "commander guy."
The other 23 hours of the day, Bush lies back in air-conditioned splendor, and we're told he reads serious literature and charges his batteries for the next great crisis our nation will face. In fact, Bush and his shady master and manipulator, Vice President Dick Cheney, have already chosen the crisis.
The ramped-up rhetoric against Iran is a sure sign a decision has already been made to launch a military assault on the Shiite nation. Striking Iran would be a multi-faceted win for the neoconservative nuts whose warped thinking and worship of violence dominate Bush's disastrous foreign policy.
Hitting Iran will be justified with evidence that Iranian weapons -- especially sophisticated, explosively formed penetrators -- are used to kill American troops in Iraq and create more instability there. Besides, we might as well try to knock out Iran's nuclear ambitions while we're at it.
An attack on Iran will delight the most extreme and belligerent elements in Israeli politics and be another step in the quest for U.S. military dominance in the Middle East -- basic dogma found in neocon scripture.
Not to worry, I still think out.now. is the first thing on the agenda.
It was good to see Hillary market herself under the "progessive" label as an acknowledgement that is what it will take to win the nomination .
I haven't found her speech online but it will be a good read.
Today I'm going to try getting Bill Richardson to blog here. Iowa is taking its first real look at all the candidates this week, side by side all over the state at the same time (it is a tough job but someone has to do it)
what that means for me is an early start at the barn.
Good morning, everybody and Phil
A little late here. I started a diary on choice for Hannah yesterday and am still mulling it over. Nothing that hasn't been posted here, but Im trying to get it all in one place.
It's getting light later--an inducement to sleep longer.
Over at Bluehampshire I suggested that Dodd had finally awoken to the fact that his trust had been abused and somebody wondered what took him so long. I think it's because he's Catholic. Catholics are raised to be obedient to authority. And obedience, like everything else in the human repertoire of behaviors tends to become habitual. Sort of like a prejudice. It takes a lot of abuse to shake it. Catholic women, I think, have learned that the abuse of authority is very easy to fall into and that the effort to regulate their reproductive effort was abusive and counter-productive. So, they just ignore it. Catholic men have experienced the abuse by authority more selectively. Abusive behavior by the clergy was covered up for decades and when it was finally revealed many people found it hard to believe. Maybe it's just a matter of the presumption of virtue being hard to shake.
What's the difference between prejudice and presumption?
It's possible that Dodd had to come to terms with the abuses in his Church first in order to recognize the pattern in the government. Although he's not given up his religious belief system, he seems to have given up on the authority of the Church to the extent that he married a Mormon. That's a pretty big step for a Catholic to take. He took it in 1999. In 2001 his first daughter was born. One suspects that he would not want her to life to be ruled by a self-serving religious cadre.
Dodd's come to an appreciation of choice late. He's got the enthusiasm for it that's typical of anyone who's discovered something new. I don't think it should be held against him. Once one gets used to choosing not to do what's been recommended, it's quite a heady experience. Gives a whole new meaning to freedom.

On July 29, John Edwards held a rally at Mack’s Apples in Londonderry. While there, he criticized Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for their spat over foreign policy. Yesterday Andy Mack Sr., owner of Mack’s Apples, endorsed Barack Obama. Must’ve left Edwards tasting sour apples (Mack doesn’t grow grapes as far as I remember).

Orchard owner claims being victim of vandalism, threats
By Terry Date , Staff writer
Eagle-Tribune
LONDONDERRY - Police are investigating complaints of vandalism and threatening phone calls made to a local orchard owner known for airing his political views on hand-painted signs on his Mammoth Road property.
Ten days ago, a motorist driving a Hummer rolled over one of Andy Mack's signs, snapping the post and tearing up the ground under the politically charged message across from Mack's Apples farm stand. Then on Saturday, a man who identified himself only as "Tom" placed four calls to Mack, telling the orchard owner in the last message that if he didn't take down his sign about the sacrifice of American soldiers in Iraq, then it would be taken down for him.
Mack doesn't know if the Hummer driver and the crank caller are one in the same. He asked the caller if he was responsible for the damaged sign and received no response.
"Initial appearances are this may be criminal mischief," Londonderry police Capt. Bill Hart said yesterday. "We are looking into the apparent vandalism and statements made to Mr. Mack."
This isn't the first time that vandals have struck Mack's signs. In late April, he found several signs vandalized. A message in blue spray paint on one sign referred to Mack as a communist, a contention he finds laughable.
In any event, Mack said the actions reflect two things: that there are those who support a foolish war and those who would stifle free expression.
"It's disgusting," he said.
Mack said the anonymous caller said he was angry with only one of the signs, the one stating: "14 More Soldiers Dead? Wounded First Week August."
Mack, 71, has been putting up his left-leaning signs since 2003. He figures he has made 60 or 70 of them in that time. He uses them to promote presidential candidates like Barack Obama and take shots at politicians such as President Bush and Sens. John Sununu and Judd Gregg. Because of their controversial content, the signs have caused consternation over the years.
Veterans advocate Dot Mattson of Londonderry, past president of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary in Derry, said Mack's signs bother her and others who drive by them. She and others do not want to be reminded of the war's death toll.

Mack has gotten Barack's back:

Activist's Signs Mowed Down
Tue Aug 14, 5:57 PM ET
A New Hampshire orchard owner can't believe he's been targeted by vandals and the recipient of threatening calls.
NewsCenter 5's Janet Wu reported that Andy Mack came to his political activism later in life. He's created quite a stir in his hometown of Londonderry, N.H. His giant signs that were mowed down in the middle of the night attack President George W. Bush and the war in Iraq The first incident occurred a month ago late one night. Skid marks show a truck drove toward two of his giant signs. The tire tracks were still visible under the new paint job.
Mack's family has owned the 350-acre apple orchard since 1732. About six years ago, the lifelong Republican, whose last candidate was John McCain, semi retired and found a new passion -- politics.
He also found a new candidate and a new party. He said that he knows that he made some enemies since then with his 100 or so signs that reflect his activism. Three days ago, a man named Tom called him three times within minutes.
"He said if I didn't take the sign down, he would. He had made no threat to the buildings or anyone's life, he just wanted to express his over generous testosterone," Mack said.
It wasn't Mack's first crank call, but he encourages debate and discussion. But he's getting picky about which presidential candidates he'll invite to the popular campaign spot.
...
I think instead of apple picking this fall in places in MA like Stow, etc. like I've always done, my wife and I'll instead head north to Londonderry NH to Andy Mack's farm.
Breaking Old news..... Pres. Clinton pardons Marc Rich(whose lawyer was Scooter Libby)............fast forward.
George Bush Pardons Scooter Libby.
Actually, Mack's Apples opens today for business:
OPENING WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15TH FOR HARVEST!
The first fruit of the 2007 harvest season is just about ready to pick! Apples are reddening, peaches are plump and juicy... the Farm Market Opens this coming week, with U-Pick soon to follow. First apple varieties available will be early Mac types: Jerseymac and Tydeman, followed closely by tangy Paulareds. Nothing like a first-of-the-season pie! Call out Hotline for more info: (603) 432-3456
Mack's Ice Cream is open, and will remain open into September. Come take a little break from life, hang out by the pond, and enjoy some delicious Richardson's Ice Cream.
Mack's is easy to get to: only an hour from Boston, and 15 minutes from Manchester.
...
I'm sorry, but my gut tells me this apple thing is a publicity ploy. He didn't get enough traction from the Edwards outing, so now he's trying the other guy.
Businesses don't usually throw their support to particular candidates, lest it irk those who support someone else.
45.
Well, he (Mack) now has gotten my business (and I'm spreading the word amongst Obama supporters and those considering him and anyone who loves apples). If that's a sign of a good business man, ole Andy's one smart cookie.
bbl
Channel 5 covered the Andy Mack being vandalized story as well and it showed two of Mack's signs knocked down:
one was advertising the movie Sicko;
the other had the words "consider Obama" on it.
... let's not overdo the Obamaspam please. Doesn't he have a website?
Maybe you could have Obama supply you with a voters list for your area so you could spam their e-mails.

Q&A with Saxby Chambliss: 'Folks sent us up there to provide leadership'
U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss says there are advantages to being in the Senate minority.
U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., returned to his home state this week for the August recess. During a visit to Gainesville on Thursday, the state's senior senator fielded questions from members of The Times editorial board.
The Times: How have you adjusted to serving in the minority in the Senate?
Chambliss: It's been interesting times with the change in leadership. While I'd rather be called "Mr. Chairman" rather than be the ranking member of the Agriculture Committee, there are advantages of being in the minority in the Senate, unlike the House. If you're in the minority in the House, you've got no power whatsoever.
Its a 51-49 split and it takes 60 votes to get anything done. You're in a position in the minority to help shape legislation or kill legislation.
We've been doing a lot of that in the first seven months. We've blocked some bad legislation and been able to kill some other legislation.

Day of Deadly Violence for Iraqis and GIs

BAGHDAD (Aug. 15) - Rescuers dug through the muddy wreckage of collapsed clay houses in northwest Iraq on Wednesday, uncovering victims of four suicide bombings that Iraqi officials said killed at least 200 people in one of the worst attacks of the war.
************
here is the piece from the above #1, that link seems to have been altered, so use this one.
http://www.politics1.com/news/cleland-chambliss.jpg
Repub challenger Chambliss swift-boated the then incumbent dem Cleland in 2002 and Chambliss won.
He's planning to do the the same to his dem challenger in 2008 unless enough fellow Georgians do something to help send him packing.
50.
That's the best you can do to excuse your spamming?
What if you spent as much time trying to convince your candidate to lead the charge in denying George Bush more funding for the quagmire in Iraq?
If you couldn't figure it out, Chambliss will vote for more funding... Obama shouldn't. There is no chance i could affect Chamblis. Is there no chance of you affecting Obama?
Well?
54.
That's the spirit, work against a dem running for national office but a repub running for reelection in your own state representing you as a Georgian, well ya don't have time to "affect Chambliss" 's chance at getting reelected.
I'm sure glad Massaschusetts people got their priority straight about working hard to ensure that they are well-represented by their dem governor, two dem U.S. senators and 10 dem U.S. House of reps. That took work to accomplish that and now many MA residents are campaigning to ensure a dem gets to be our next U.S. President.
How about move to a red state there rdorgan and see how well you can get away with all the peacocking around.
O.k. i'm done playing this stupid game. I'm 'all in' with my eforts here ... you are safely in the lap of political luxury.
But then life is hardly fair... some take advantage by kicking the already down. That speaks to their character.

I brought up the need to get along with the small gathering with Hillary. What I said was that at some point five out of six will be backing someone other than the eventual nominee who will need their support; so as not to burn bridges.

Bad news for the 'surge' report. I'm guessin' that Reid and Pelosi will have to rethink... let go of their ankles and stand up to the idiot boyking after all.
The poll of nearly 6000 people (not usually liberals on this site) has 58% in favor of a total removal of US troops from Iraq.
hhmmmmmmm... i'll be workin' for Cindy Sheehan before this thing is over, i guess.
