The BRAD BLOG : Diebold Optical-Scan System Fails in Iowa GOP Straw Poll!:

The BRAD BLOG : Diebold Optical-Scan System Fails in Iowa GOP Straw Poll!:

"While GOP candidate Mitt Romney may have walked away with a winning
edge in the Iowa Straw Poll, Diebold was true to form as their voting system
failed to count ballots correctly. As the Des Moines Register is reporting two
of Diebold's optical scanners failed and 1500 paper ballots had to be manually
recounted by hand..."


I strongly believe that since technology is never fool proof, and doesn't always work, there must be a way to check to votes. What if there is a power outage in a location where the polling station is, and all that you have is the computer voting machines. I have used optical scan ballots a number of times, and think that they are the best solution. They can be counted quickly by a machine, but they can also be recounted if there is a doubt. Also they would remain effective even if the power went out.

Hidden Earmarks A Hallmark Of The 110th

Captain's Quarters Hidden Earmarks A Hallmark Of The 110th

One hospital, Bay Area Medical Center, sits on Green Bay, straddling the border
between Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, more than 200 miles north
of Chicago. The bill would increase Medicare payments to the hospital by
instructing federal officials to assume that it was in Chicago, where Medicare
rates are set to cover substantially higher wages for hospital workers.Lawmakers
did not identify the hospital by name. For the purpose of Medicare, the bill
said, “any hospital that is co-located in Marinette, Wis., and Menominee, Mich.,
is deemed to be located in Chicago.” Bay Area Medical Center is the only
hospital fitting that description.

Any representative of the people who proclaims to be for open government and then turns around and writes laws that are willfully hard to understand in order to sneak through funding is unfit for public office. This is plain dirty politics, if any one in congress cares about reform as much as they say they do, this has to end. The problem of course is that power and money corrupt, and while it is easy to sit outside Washington talking about all the good you will do, being in the capital changes you. You get a sip of that power, and you think that one more won't hurt.

Daily Kos: Giuliani: Petty, Vindictive, Egotist

Daily Kos: Giuliani: Petty, Vindictive, Egotist

"Petty and vindictive" is the assessment of one of Giuliani’s most reliable
foils, Stephen DiBrienza, a former City Councilman from Brooklyn who in 1998 was
on the receiving end of a memorable act of mayoral pique. DiBrienza was chairman
of the Council’s General Welfare Committee, which oversaw the city’s social- and
human-services programs, principal targets of Giuliani’s reforms. One of the
councilman’s abiding concerns was the warehousing of homeless people in huge
city shelters, some of which held as many as a thousand beds. In December, 1998,
DiBrienza sponsored a bill to limit the number of beds at city facilities to two
hundred, and to require that social services be made available at the
shelters.Giuliani vehemently opposed the measure, arguing that it would require
the city to close down its seven largest shelters. The Council passed the
legislation, and he vetoed it. He said that if he was forced to close the big
shelters he would have to build new ones—and he would put them in the districts
of the chief proponents of the bill. The Council overrode the veto by a
substantial margin. The Mayor called DiBrienza a "limousine liberal" and a
"hypocrite," and the administration announced plans to open a homeless shelter
in a neighborhood in DiBrienza’s district. An eviction notice was sent to a
state-run psychiatric clinic housed in a city-owned building, with the
explanation that a homeless shelter was coming in. In addition to the clinic,
which tended to five hundred patients a week, the building contained a
senior-citizen center and a nonprofit children’s center."Think about it,"
DiBrienza says now. "Here’s a guy who would go to that length, because I beat
him on passing a law that requires smaller-bed shelters. Because we would not
blink, he would throw kids, seniors, and the mentally ill out into the street. I
mean, could I have written a better script to expose the fact of what he was?"


Another example that I am more familiar with is the shooting of a black man by the police. An undercover officer had approached the individual attempting to sell a black man some drugs, the man said no. Some how they got into a struggle and the undercovers backup rushed in and ended up shooting and killing the man. They never identified themselves as being police officers, and being that they out numbered him, deadly force seems extreme. When it hit the news, the mans history was looked into, and there was nothing that could be found as far as a criminal record. Giuliani then broke the law, by opening his juvenile records, and citing a small offense that had happened when he was a minor, almost ten years earlier. Like Bush, Giuliani doesn't believe that anything should stand in his way, including the law.

Crooks and Liars » CNBC’s Erin Burnett: We Need China’s Toxic Food And Lead Coated Toys To Keep Economy Strong:

"“A lot of people like to say, uh, scaremonger about China, right? A lot of
politicians, and I know you talk about that issue all the time. I think people
should be careful what they wish for on China. Ya know, if China were to revalue
it’s currency or China is to start making say, toys that don’t have lead in them
or food that isn’t poisonous, their costs of production are going to go up and
that means prices at Wal-Mart here in the United States are going to go up too.
So, I would say China is our greatest friend right now, they’re keeping prices
low and they’re keeping the prices for mortgages low, too.”"


I am confused by what she is saying here, is she really saying that we shouldn't try and stop China from making toys that could poison our kids, or food that could poison us, so the prices at the store will stay low. If reading it isn't enough to believe it, it wasn't for me, click on the link to see the video.

Now to defend China a little. It produces a lot of toys, and food and clothes. It makes a lot of the things that we use in our day to day lives, and much of it is produced well. There have been concerns about some products, and China has expressed concern about safety as well. It isn't fair to attack the whole industry of a country, as big as China, with as many companies as China, based on a few incidents. How would we feel if they attack out fast food industry for a few problems that it has had?

Crooks and Liars » Kos on MTP: “Stop Attacking Democrats”:

Crooks and Liars » Kos on MTP: “Stop Attacking Democrats”:

"FORD: I want to do nothing more than ensure that progressive causes and
interests are advanced. I want nothing more –and I know you do as well-want
Democrats to win…We do nothing but help Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani when we argue essentially over semantics…

MOULITSAS: Will you stop going on FOXNews and attacking Harry Reid for abandoning the troops, betraying the troops? Because you just did that a couple of days ago…

FORD: Markos, in all fairness, your site has posted awful things about Jewish Americans…

MOULITSAS: That’s not true…

FORD: Your site has…now you have a site about…something about Cindy Sheehan, she uses it as a…she has a heavy presence there in talking about running against….

MOULITSAS: It’s called “democracy.” If you don’t like regular people, hundreds of thousands of people…you’re gonna have…

FORD: No, I love it…but you can’t be critical of us…

MOULITSAS: Of course…you’re not going to control hundreds of thousands of voices. Your organization has a dozen people, you CAN control that message. And you don’t need to attack Democrats."


This is a debate that is going on inside the party right now. Is the party going to continue to drift to the left towards the politics of Kuncinich and Sheehan, or is it going to return to the center where Bill Clinton was able to win. What are the core ideas of the party, and how much is the party willing to put aside some ideas to push forward others. I think that running on terms of pulling out of Iraq, is something that a lot of Americans feel good about. However, socialised medicine is still something that Americans don't trust yet. Can the party put aside its interest in socialised medicine to promote its Iraq strategy or must it cling to both?

It's hard work - Bush has taken 418 vacation days, that's nine weeks a year - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

It's hard work - Bush has taken 418 vacation days, that's nine weeks a year - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"On Thursday, Bush left for a weekend in Kennebunkport, Maine, and his family's
summer compound, Walker's Point. On Monday, he heads to his Crawford retreat,
where he has spent all or part of 418 days of his presidency, according to Mark
Knoller, a CBS News White House correspondent and meticulous record-keeper.
...The presidential vacation-time record holder is the late Ronald Reagan, who
tallied 436 days in his two terms. At 418 days, and with 17 months to go in his
presidency, Bush is going to beat that easily"


I am in a place where I don't like to find myself, defending Bush. It isn't fair to say that Bush spent any number of days on vacation, in fact it could be said that he is never on vacation. Even when he is not in the White House, he is still the president and there are still matters that require his attention and decisions. Just because he is not in the White House, does not mean that he is not working, in a modern world the president is able to work from his ranch, or from Maine.

A second point is that I don't think it is fair to count days where congress is also on vacation. What is Bush going to sit in the White House with nothing to do, if congress is not in session it isn't going to be sending up bills to be signed.

Tommy Thompson drops out - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth

Tommy Thompson drops out - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"Former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson is dropping out of the race for the
Republican presidential nomination, a campaign official said Sunday. His
campaign released a statement saying the Republican is leaving the campaign
trail several hours after WITI-TV in Milwaukee reported that Thompson told one
of its reporters he was withdrawing. The campaign statement said Thompson
intends to take sometime off before returning to the private sector and his
nonprofit work. It said the 65-year-old says he's comforted by the fact that he
thinks he made a difference for people during his campaign."


And then there were eight - or nine, no eight the other Thompson isn't going to join the race. With Thompson out of the race, we no longer get to hear his great line, "I am Tommy Thompson, the governor no the actor". His chance were very low in winning the race, but I think that every candidate does make a difference through bringing ideas into the debates.

(Some reports claim that she is at her mom's house on Long Island.) Other reports are placing her in Utah at a rehab center. As far as I know there is no concrete proof that she is in either one of these places.

Michael Lohan Displeased With Dina Lohan's Choice Of Male Companion

Listen people Michael wants to be the only man who is a bad influence on his kids, honestly though, if he can't get drunk and rant at his kids why should some other guy be able to.On a serious note though, with the troubles that Lindsay is going through right now, Dina should be more careful about who she brings into her home. Right now what the whole family needs is some stability, and you cannot have that when there are drinking and drugs involved. It is in the best interest of the kids and even Dina herself that relationships take second place. Of course it wasn't in the interest of either Dina or Lindsay when just a couple months ago, Dina was more interested in being Lindsay's drinking buddy than her mom. I think that Dina is a lush and won't be able to help herself or her family until she comes to terms with her own problems.

The press hounded this poor lady, calling and asking her about how she felt about her car being hit by Britney's car. The lady expressed concern that Britney felt that she was above the law, after watching the video on the internet. The lady felt like Britney's people would contact her, and the call was never made. There is a video on the link.She thinks Britney is going to be a responsible womyn, poor lady doesn't know Britney like we do, does she.

Some how she makes her way into all the best shows, and hangs out with all the beautiful people (except for me). Paris is under estimated by much of the media, and I think that she likes it that way. I doubt that she is seeing Grenier, my bet is that she is secretly dating Stavros still. She hasn't really been seen with a serious boyfriend since him.

Julia Stiles in The Bell Jar, is she going to play Sylvia's role. That sounds like a movie I really want to see when it comes out. She is one of my favorite actresses, and I love the book. Though she should think about the fact that in the book, the girl attempts to kill herself because she gets tired of thinking about it.

Woe Is Katie / Jossip:

"As if Katie Couric doesn’t have enough tsuris these days, Ed Klein says in
an interview that his new book about the CBS Evening News anchor includes
details “that will knock readers’ socks off.” Of course, Klein made similar
claims before his last unauthorized biography, about Sen. Hillary Rodham
Clinton, in 2005. Though a best-seller, The Truth About Hillary was eviscerated
on both sides of the aisle for its personal attacks and reliance on anonymous
sources."


Katie seems to be the target of a strangely high number of attacks. I don't want to think it is because she is a womyn, but facts are that you don't see this level of talk about Martin Bashir or other male anchors who have just taken the top seats. Katie is strong though, she can make it through this, and her fans will love her more for it.

If you are one of Pete's female fans, be on the look out for his girl friend Ashlee. Seems she wants to be the only female fan in his life, and she is acting pissy to get her way. You can tell that Ashlee is a Simpson, I could see that Joe would react the same way when faced with Pete's female fans. This is all silly though, if you are going to date a rocker, even an emo rocker, you have to learn to expect it and deal with it.

"Victoria is set to play a bridesmaid on the show, according to Eric Mabius

Valentino Garavani, who appeared as himself in The Devil Wears Prada. "

For fans of Victoria and the show Ugly Betty this is great news. From watching Victoria's show, Coming to America, I would expect it to be fun. Victoria will be an interesting addition to the show for one episode, with her style and humor. Not that I ever watch the show, since I don't have a TV.

Looks like Christian is joining a the growing list of stars who are moving to the stage. The scene in Hollywood and the production of movies is becoming very different than it used to be. In a rush to make movies more real, and more dynamic they are taking the humyn element out of them. I think the stage is going to become more popular as people turn back to the stage to get that humyn element. Stars are already turning to the stage as a way to express that humyn element.

This is a hard place for Alli to be, having to testify against Spears or risk lying to the court. There is no doubt that there are facts that she has that are damaging to Britney.

Britney Spears Marijuana Morphine Laced Lollipops Pop Crunch:

"Moles at The National Enquirer tattle that Britney Spears has become an
aficionado at camouflaging her drug addiction with an assumed love of lollipops. "


While I had postulated that Britney's love of lollipops came from an attempt to stop smoking, reports are that it has a whole different reason. The Enquirer is claiming that she has taken to them because they are laced with drugs. She fell in love with them while touring in Europe, and has been buying marijuana laced pops in Santa Monica. While this could be true, it seems doubtful that she would wait three years, from the time she toured Europe, till now to start this habit.

Michael is claiming that reports from Almeida were fabricated as a way of making money off the family. In most cases like this, the truth lies in between the stories. We all know what kind of person Michael is and Dina is, so there is reason to believe there is some foundation to the tales. On the other hand, making a situation seem worse than it actually was, is an easy way to sell books.

A word to the whole Lohan family. You are all milking your fame and money off of Lindsay, even if this person is using Lindsay to make money, that just makes him a member of the club.

These rumors don't seem to be based on much right now, but it would be nice to see them have another child.

I think that they should be fine though, they have plenty of money and more importantly, plenty of love.

"The rumor mill reports that Britney Spears implanted her famed parental

There is one glaring hole in this rumor, and that is the fact that Britney and her sister look so much alike that they must be sisters. While it could be that both of them were adopted, that is stretching the story from unlikely to extremely unlikely. The resemblance between Britney and her mother isn't as strong, but it is there, enough that I would doubt this rumor on that alone.

It was pretty much confirmed where Lindsay was, and her father might be only getting his information from the media. However, this is another piece of the puzzle that suggests that she is in rehab in Utah. If she makes a real change in her life, she can come back, people will forgive her and work with her again. It has to be a lasting change, and it has to mean avoiding people that contributed to her problems. I think that includes her mother who still has to face her own addiction problems.

I guess you will have to be the judge for yourself. I don't think it looks like Britney, but that is just me. It could be that the photo was touched up digitally to make her look better.

Looks like Britney Spears isn't the only person who thinks it is ok to take your young kids out to dinner with you late at night. When you have kids you have to stop living in such a way that you are the only person who matters. It isn't healthy for kids to be out that late, and parents should be able to adapt their lives for that consideration.
