Her view is the old, classic, European caricature that we describe of big government, big taxation, welfare state... She gave a speech a couple of days ago and laid out her vision for America. And as I listened to her I figured her platform wouldn't even get her elected in France.
Ah, but she'll be a smashing hit in Nawlins. It's what they want down there, non?

So it remains to be seen whether Naples is ready to overcome its trash crisis, whether politicians can agree on where new dumps and incinerators should be located. Shipping it abroad does not seem an option: Romania, one of the few possibilities, recently said it would not take Italy's trash.

The Joys of Pessimism (note: Oprah still sucks)
Thaddeus, a farming consultant from Minnesota, writes that American farmers are congenital gloomy Guses, constantly wringing their hands over weather, blight, and commodity prices. "The result of all this negative thinking," Thaddeus writes, "is the most stable, secure and inexpensive food supply in the history of the world. Farmers worry about dry weather, so they install irrigation systems. They worry about wet weather, so they install tile lines to drain their fields. They worry about diseases, so they vaccinate their cattle and spray fungicides on their crops. They worry about cold winters, so they cut hay and silage for their livestock."

The man told the Journal-Constitution he was in Rome during his honeymoon when the CDC notified him of the new tests and told him to turn himself in to Italian authorities to be isolated and be treated. The CDC told him he couldn't fly aboard commercial airliners.
"I thought to myself: You're nuts. I wasn't going to do that. They told me I had been put on the no-fly list and my passport was flagged," the man said.
He told the newspaper he and his wife decided to sneak back into the U.S. through Canada. He said he voluntarily went to a New York hospital, then was flown by the CDC to Atlanta.
He is not facing prosecution, health officials said. [huh????-JJ]
"I'm a very well-educated, successful, intelligent person," he told the paper. "This is insane to me that I have an armed guard outside my door when I've cooperated with everything other than the whole solitary-confinement-in-Italy thing."

The psychologists and other specialists, commissioned by the Intelligence Science Board, make the case that more than five years after the Sept. 11 attacks, the Bush administration has yet to create an elite corps of interrogators trained to glean secrets from terrorism suspects.
At the bitter end
The slaughter and rapine that awaited the surviving citizens of the city need not be dwelt on at length. It was unspeakable. Children raped on Christian altars; women and elderly impaled; blood running on the streets; St. Sophia a great bloodbath, then a mosque. Legend holds that several priests vanished into the very walls of the church, to return when Constantinople is liberated from the yoke of the Mohammedan. Untold Greeks were captured and clasped in fetters, the maidens and attractive boys destined for Turkish harems, the strong boys for the barracks of the Janissaries, to repeat the conquest of other Christians in other lands; and the Orthodox Church itself was seized into a captivity under which much of it toils to this day. [...] The city was vanquished and violated. He established the Greeks under the standard dhimma contract, Islam's system of official subjugation and humiliation: a kind of Jim Crow for infidels.
Aahhh, the stuff of legend on Planet Pepe.

The president also made a comparison between Iraq and the Vietnam War, saying, "There are many differences between the two conflicts, but one stands out above all. The enemy in Vietnam had neither the intent nor the capability to strike our homeland. ... The enemy in Iraq does."
In other words, IM's firepower is greater than that of the former USSR. Right on, dubbyah.

From “Stuff happens!” on, nearly every aspect of Washington policy in Iraq exuded contempt for the beneficiaries of our supposed munificence.
(...)
Since the 2003 invasion, America has given only 466 Iraqis asylum. Sweden, which was not in the coalition of the willing, plans to admit 25,000 Iraqis this year alone. Our State Department, goaded by January hearings conducted by Ted Kennedy, says it will raise the number for this year to 7,000 (a figure that, small as it is, may be more administration propaganda). A bill passed by Congress this month will add another piddling 500, all interpreters.

The president is on a continuous loop of sophistry: We have to push on in Iraq because Al Qaeda is there, even though Al Qaeda is there because we pushed into Iraq. Our troops have to keep dying there because our troops have been dying there. We have to stay so the enemy doesn’t know we’re leaving. Osama hasn’t been found because he’s hiding.
The terrorists moved into George Bush’s Iraq, not Saddam Hussein’s. W.’s ranting about Al Qaeda there is like planting fleurs du mal and then complaining your garden is toxic.

Let it be a call-to-arms. A mantra for the misguided. At Aidan Gill for Men, we’re drawing the line between men and women’s grooming for once and all. On our side, the passing frivolities of fashion hold no sway. We’re focused on the timeless – the handmade razor, the badger shave brush, the well-made necktie. And in our back room, the ultimate experience – the Shave at the End of the Galaxy – a hot towel shave so luxurious that Irish poets fall to tears in describing it. Come in and see the style and the services for yourself. Leave unisex to the women. Sit back and let us pour you a drink. Don’t worry – we’ve seen that expression on many men’s faces before, and we know just what to do about it.

Deep Thinking from Hair Doll
Edwards called the war on terror a "bumper sticker" slogan Bush had used to justify everything from abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison to the invasion of Iraq. "We need a post-Bush, post-9/11, post-Iraq military that is mission focused on protecting Americans from 21st century threats, not misused for discredited ideological purposes," Edwards said in remarks prepared for delivery. "By framing this as a war, we have walked right into the trap the terrorists have set—that we are engaged in some kind of clash of civilizations and a war on Islam."
So if we surrender, they'll just go away. This guy sounds just like Jimmah.

From a Dojo site comes this insight into the brave practice of "La Savate", France's own magnificent contribution to the martial arts.
" There are basicaly three stance in Savate : "Assaut", where we learn evasions, running, and the art of "escaping" a fight, "Technique", where we lear how to strike at certain moments to knock down the openement In order to defend, and "Assomoir" ("to stun") kindly the most openly discussed stance where we duel against a oponement till K.O. Personaly, I did use Savate in real life, a thug wanted to "use my credit card" With a knife! But i mostly used the "Assaut" stance in that one..."
as for we Lusos, we have a more modest contribution to the martial arts, "O Vinheiro". It, like La savate, has three stances.
First, you stomp like a graper on the head of the purple bastards [preferably a Castilian variety] until the red juices flow.
Second, collect the red juices in barrels, let age, cleanse feet in the crystal waters of O Rio Douro.
Sit back for a feast of ameijoadas na cataplana, break good bread, open an aged bottle of the red juices, and drink long and deeply as you hear the lamentations of the bastards women.
Is there a Romanian proverb to describe this Luso-Gaulo lack of concord on the martial arts?

He said he “certainly was not talking personally about any president.” When pressed by NBC’s Meredith Vieira as to whether he was saying his remarks were careless or reckless, the former president said, “I think they were, yes, because they were interpreted as comparing this whole administration to all other administrations."

Conservatism still twitching
But after 9/11, neoconservatives and evangelicals found common cause in their shared belief in American exceptionalism and in the idea that the country’s values could be exported abroad. Mr. Bush was receptive to the synthesis, and it became the ideological centerpiece of the war on terror, with its stated mission to combat the “axis of evil” in a global “war on terror.”
Today, of course, this vision, has been widely repudiated, if not altogether discredited. The public has grown skeptical, or maybe just tired, of the hard-edged and often polarizing politics. And this change coincides with broad-based skepticism of the Bush presidency itself — as witnessed by Mr. Bush’s and his party’s perilously low approval ratings. The G.O.P.’s embrace of the conservative movement is beginning, some say, to resemble a death grip.
(...)
Meanwhile, the conservative movement finds itself in a new place. No longer insurgents, its leaders now form an entrenched establishment, just like the liberals and moderates they defeated a generation ago. But if Mr. Wolfowitz’s brief tenure at the World Bank is any indication, they are a long way from feeling chastened.

Back in tzarist Russia
After months of negotiation with the authorities, a talmudist from Odessa was finally granted permission to visit Moscow. He boarded the train and found an empty seat. At the next stop, a young man got on and sat next to him. The scholar looked at the young man and he thought :
This fellow doesn't look like a peasant, so if he is no peasant he probably comes from this district. If he comes from this district, then he must be Jewish because this is, after all, a Jewish district.
But on the other hand, since he is a Jew, where could he be going ? I'm the only Jew in our district who has permission to travel to Moscow. Ahh, wait! Just outside Moscow there is a little village called Samvet, and Jews don't need special permission to go to Samvet. But why would he travel to Samvet ? He is surely going to visit one of the Jewish families there. But how many Jewish families are there in Samvet? Aha, only two – the Bernsteins and the Stein bergs. But since the Bemsteins are a terrible family, so such a nice looking fellow like him, he must be visiting the Steinbergs. But why is he going to the Steinbergs in Samvet? The Steinbergs have only daughters, two of them, so maybe he's their son-in-law. But if he is, then which daughter did he marry ? They say that Sarah Steinberg married a nice lawyer from Budapest, and Esther married a businessman from Zhitomer, so it must be Sarah's husband. Which means that his name is Alexander Cohen, if I'm not mistaken. But if he came from Budapest, with all the anti-Semitism they have there, he must have changed his name. What's the Hungarian equivalent of Cohen? It is Kovacs. But since they allowed him to change his name, he must have special status to change it. What could it be? Must be a doctorate from the university. Nothing less would do.
A this point, therefore, the scholar of Talmud turns to the young man and says : "Excuse me. Do you mind if I open the window, Dr. Kovacs?"
"Not at all," answered the startled co-passenger. "But how is ithat you know my name?"
"Ahhh," replied the Talmudist, "It was obvious."

...or, How Dakota Learned to Love the Bomb
Here are two photos of the decommissioned Safeguard ABM system (in northern North Dakota) developed to protect U.S. Minuteman ICBM bases from Soviet incoming. Originally, twelve sites were to be built in Montana, Missouri, Wyoming, Colorado, Washington D.C., and North Dakota. Construction only happened in North Dakota and Colorado before the 1972 Strategic Arms Limitation Talks.
The site you see here became operational in 1975, but Congress closed it down only two months later. The Perimeter Acquisition Radar (not these photos) remained in use, aiding the North American Aerospace Defense Command stationed in Colorado.
Side notes: radar used to be mounted where you see the large circles at the top of the concrete pyramid. The actual silo launch site is located just off from the pyramid. Entire families lived on the base, but the pyramid sites could only hold the soldiers (as though a soldier is supposed to carry out his or her job knowing wife/husband and children are ducking and covering outside -- I suppose at that point it would have been FUBAR). The only bar in Nakoma, North Dakota (within a mile of the site) is called, "The Pain Reliever."

The limits of the "just collateral damage" defense
The United States military says it came under heavy fire from insurgents as it searched for a Taliban commander and weapons caches and called in airstrikes, killing 136 Taliban fighters.
But the villagers denied that any Taliban were in the area. Instead, they said, they rose up and fought the Americans themselves, after the soldiers raided several houses, arrested two men and shot dead two old men on a village road.
After burying the dead, the tribe’s elders met with their chief, Hajji Arbab Daulat Khan, and resolved to fight American forces if they returned. “If they come again we will stand against them, and we will raise the whole area against them,” Hajji Daulat Khan warned. Or in the words of one foreign official in Afghanistan, the Americans went after one guerrilla commander and created a hundred more.
hats off to the courageous villagers.

Boots on the Ground: U.S. and Iraqi Soldiers on YouTube
Tired of the "professional" journalist? I came across this BBC link, and then parused some of the YouTube titles which I provided below. Click on the first link and see it through (it's only about 3 minutes). Pretty intense.
1.) Battle on Haifa Street, Baghdad, Iraq
2.) Iraqi Boy Scouts Prepare for Jamboree

Pepe's Dream of the Brilliant Future
and let him ride to it on the strong horse of "Youth", now that he has abandoned his Royal damsel in distress
Quick! Circumcize Your Tongues.
or use HPV vaccine lozenges? What's it gonna be, Mullah Pepe of the Holy Condom? Rubbers ain't gonna work and they taste like hell even compared to African cooking. Could it be that abstinence and monogamy are the only answer? You want the US to keep after the whole dark continent with Pap smear trays and (now) throat culture trays? You want to hit the whole continent with HPV vaccine at $300 a pop?

Bush brings comfort to Greensburg
Hopefully, these people have never heard of Katrina and of dubbyah's promises in similar circumstances.
"There is a lot of destruction" Bush said. "I bring the prayers and concerns of the people of this country to this town."
prayers and concern ? gee, thanks duh-duh-dubbyah.

A French Rudy?
Does this mean Francois Hollande is a French Bill Clinton? Ah, but can he compose crossword puzzles, let alone use the humidor in ingenious ways?
Pardon me!
If the late Former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late Former President Richard Nixon... Quick, write to Arnie! Parigi is counting on you.

One of the suspects took the tape to a New Jersey store to have it converted into training DVDs, but a store employee reported the tape's content to authorities, which set off a full-scale investigation. "That local store clerk, having viewed the video of these people in military garb yelling out jihadist statements and shooting semiautomatic weapons, brought his attention to the fact there could be a problem."

Shame - a first
Wow: an american shows both remorse and a rare display of humanity. Aren't they supposed instead to act self-righteous and state that this truly regrettable incident is the unfortunate yet sadly unavoidable by-product of an otherwise worthy struggle, your call is very important to us, bladi-bladi-blah?
A Soggy Saga
...in 1787, two days before their work was done, the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention “adjourned to a tavern for some rest, and according to the bill they drank 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret, 8 of whiskey, 22 of port, 8 of hard cider and 7 bowls of punch so large that, it was said, ducks could swim around in them. Then they went back to work and finished founding the new Republic.” Note the 55 delegates and 54 bottles of Madeira. Which founder was slacking?
I also liked the Dylan Thomas definition of an alcoholic: "someone you don’t like who drinks as much as you do."
Ft. Dix...
...and other U.S. Bases are watching them watching us. It sounds as though our troops are heavily armed at Ft. Dix.
Now It's Serious...
Sometimes it's really difficult to take the terrorist threats seriously. Besides: Mickey Mouse is souless and screwed up enough already. Why push it any further?
I guess the upside is that we now get to bomb the hell out of that stupid f*cking mouse. Or maybe just a well-placed .308 round, compliments of U.S. Marine Sniper corps?

Back to normal
The French youths are back to burning cars. The Sun still rises in the East. The sky is blue. Life is predictable.
...The level of violence was above that usually seen on July 14 Bastille Day, France's national holiday, "but below that of New Year's celebrations." Police say on an average just over 100 cars are set ablaze in France each night.
Part of the French culture, eh?
To extrapolate: "Pepe is Chavez's maytag..."
See "maytag": [a] maytag n. (prison sl.) old school
1. one who washes other peoples clothes in prison out of fear or intimidation. 2. a follower; a flunky.
ex: "Ya man was my maytag in prison." "He lookin' for somebody to be his maytag." "They made 'em into a maytag."

Rich on buckpassing
George Tenet is just the latest to join this blame game, which began more than three years ago when his fellow Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Tommy Franks told Bob Woodward that Douglas Feith, the Pentagon’s intelligence bozo, was the “stupidest guy on the face of the earth” (that’s the expurgated version). Last fall, Kenneth Adelman, the neocon cheerleader who foresaw a “cakewalk” in Iraq, told Vanity Fair that Mr. Tenet, General Franks and Paul Bremer were “three of the most incompetent people who’ve ever served in such key spots.” Richard Perle chimed in that the “huge mistakes” were “not made by neoconservatives” and instead took a shot at President Bush. Ahmad Chalabi, the neocons’ former darling, told Dexter Filkins of The Times “the real culprit in all this is Wolfowitz.”
And of course nearly everyone blames Rumsfeld.

The commander explains
"Success is not, no violence. There are parts of our own country that have got a certain level of violence to it. But success is a level of violence where the people feel comfortable about living their daily lives. And that's what we're trying to achieve."

Hearts & minds
The Pentagon survey found that less than half the troops in Iraq thought Iraqi civilians should be treated with dignity and respect.
[...]
About 10% of those surveyed said they had actually mistreated Iraqi civilians by hitting or kicking them, or had damaged their property when it was not necessary to do so.

Hitch rips Tenet a new one
"I wonder," Tenet said, "if it has anything to do with this guy taking pilot training." Notice the direct quotes that make it clear who is the author of this brilliant insight. And then pause for a second. The author is almost the only man who could have known of Zacarias Moussaoui and his co-conspirators—the very man who positively knew they were among us, in flight schools, and then decided to leave them alone.
Huh? Did you guys know about this? First time I hear this story. Of course, JJ was adamant, even back in Fall 2001, that no heads should roll over the 9/11 attacks, nobody should take the blame for the monumental screw-up that lead to it. (Am I remembering correctly?) Perhaps it's time to reconsider, eh?

I have the tar: bring the feathers!
Paul Wolfowitz lui-même n'exclut pas l'éventualité d'un départ : "Quand l'ombre portée par ces accusations fausses et indignes sera dissipée, alors seulement il deviendra possible de déterminer objectivement si je peux être un dirigeant efficace à la Banque mondiale".

L'annonce de la mort d'Abou Al-Masri avait déjà été faite en octobre 2006 et en février 2007, avant d'être démentie par l'armée américaine et les autorités irakiennes.
flip, flop
Mr Bush criticised the bill, saying it "substitutes the opinions of politicians for the judgement of our military commanders".
Nice one, dubbyah. Isn't that what going to war on the cheap was about?
