Feds come up with ID plan to restrict volunteers at disasters - USATODAY.com:

"NEW YORK (AP) — Retiree Gene O'Brien hurried to the World Trade Center site
after Sept. 11, 2001, as a volunteer helping to shuttle supplies to police and
fire workers. Some days, his only ID to get into the disaster site was a tattoo
on his forearm. 'A couple times I showed them my Marine tattoo, and they said go
ahead,' recalled O'Brien, adding that he and other volunteers also came up with
their own makeshift identification cards. 'We didn't forge anything, we just
made them up with our own pictures and at one point we copied a UPC code off a
Pepsi can and they were as good as gold,' said the Scarsdale resident. It might
not be so easy the next time disaster strikes. In an effort to provide better
control and coordination, the federal government is launching an ambitious ID
program for rescue workers to keep everyday people from swarming to a disaster
scene. A prototype of the new first responder identification card is already
being issued to fire and police personnel in the Washington, D.C., area."

This is actually a good idea for a number of reasons. One is that a terrorist could slip into a disaster and set off another attack to harm the rescue effort. Two is that there are a number of people who want to do something to help, want so much to do so that they don't think about what they can or should do and they could hurt themselves. If there were a secondary attack, or a further breakdown of the situation during rescue knowing who and was on scene would be mandatory to rescue everyone. I only hope that they don't make it so only police and fire can get a pass. I would suggest opening it to the public, tell them they will have to get trained and get background checks, but they can get passes. There should be different levels to reflect how much access a person should be given.

FOXNews.com - Texas Woman Claims to Have Found Mythical 'Chupacabra' - Science News Current Articles:

"CUERO, Texas — Phylis Canion lived in Africa for four years. She's been a
hunter all her life and has the mounted heads of a zebra and other exotic
animals in her house to prove it. But the roadkill she found last month outside
her ranch was a new one even for her, worth putting in a freezer hidden from
curious onlookers: Canion believes she may have the head of the mythical,
bloodsucking chupacabra."

Looks like an ugly dog to me.

ABC News: Nifong in Contempt, Gets Day in Jail:

"The prosecutor who led the now-discredited rape case against three Duke
University lacrosse players was held in criminal contempt of court Friday for
lying to a judge when pursuing charges against the athletes. Superior Court
Judge W. Osmond Smith III sentenced Mike Nifong to a day in jail. The former
Durham County district attorney, who was already stripped of his law license and
had resigned from office, had faced as many as 30 days."

Wonder if he will serve more than 82 minutes...

morning at Walther Liquors, the Nottingham store where Maryland Lottery
officials said one of the tickets was sold."

I wouldn't mind splitting that four ways... I wouldn't mind even splitting it ten ways at this point.

BBC NEWS Africa Uganda church to anoint US bishop:

"Uganda's Anglican Church is to appoint a bishop to serve in the US, against the
wishes of the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church's US arm. It is the latest
in a series of interventions by African Churches following the US decision to
appoint an openly gay bishop in 2003. Correspondents say the move is expected to
bring closer the fragmentation of the worldwide Anglican communion. It ignores
pleas from Anglican leaders to preserve unity. Uganda's Anglican Church is to

When you drive down the street and you see so many different Christian churches and you wonder why, this is why. This is a fairly serous break in terms of what they see as a difference of opinions. The American church has moved to embrace gays, while the more conservative African churches have continued to preach against them. It is some what interesting I think to note that the Anglican church got its foundation from the King of England in 1534 wanting to be able to divorce his wife.

National Enquirer May Publish Vanessa Hudgens Nude Photos; Star Mobbed In London Pop Crunch:

"Celebrity informants are whispering that the National Enquirer is planning
to publish the racy shots of ‘High School Musical’ star Vanessa Hudgens naked.
In the meantime, the teen beauty was mobbed by a group of excited Brits in
London this week."

Publish them... yikes that could be the end of her career. On the other hand it could be the start of her career, Paris got a big boost from her sex tape. Paris wasn't making a show for kids though. This is going to be interesting to watch, see if they have the pictures, and if they publish them.

That would just be one odd couple, I don't see it working - besides the fact she has a bad track record with musicians; Kenny, Jack...

Gabby Babble: Britney's New Manager Saves Her Ass:

"According to TOB, Britney Spears' new manager saved Britney from making another
disastrous move. Apparently Britney called the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas to
cancel last minute as she was trying to get out of her commitment as host for
the evening. When the club managers phoned Jeff Kwatinetz to inform him about
Britney flaking out on the job, he called Britney and 'forced her' to do her job
and explained that it wasn't the right time to be so irresponsible."

It is about time, this is clearly what this girl needs. A strong hand that can set her straight and tell her that she needs to work, she needs to meet her obligations and she needs to get her ass to making music. Also she should wear underwear so we don't see so much of her ass.

Isn't she supposed to be putting out a new album? You know you hear so much about the Simpson's father, but you never really hear or see much about their mother. She should get some fashion advice from Ashlee, it looks like she has been talking to Jessica.

Keira Knightley Needs To Stop Whining Dlisted:

"'I think it was just a shame that that had to be brought up then, and the fact
that we all knew that it was going to be brought up. We actually had a bet
going. I was like 'Come on, how many times either anorexia or something about my
body, are going to come up.'' 'I think what I want to keep it about is the work,
that's all I'm interested in, and when you've got a project like this I think
it's a shame to take it away from that.' "

The point that you are trying to make is a good point Keira. There is one problem, womyn out there want to be like you, and that means that they want to know how you get to looking the way you do. Does that mean they don't care about the depths of your project? no. The easiest thing to do, is answer the questions and move on to more important topics, there is nothing more distracting than a celeb bitching and whining. If you were really smart you could answer the questions in ways that lead towards what you want to talk about - example. "Keira are you anorexic", "No Dante, sometimes my projects get so intense and I get so involved in the message of my art that I put off eating". That leads the interviewer into asking about what makes it intense, and about the messages of your art.

Courtney Love Shares Opinion of Everyone |

Courtney Love Shares Opinion of Everyone :

"Only days after giving us a proper dissertation on what exactly is
wrong with Owen Wilson, Courtney Love shared her opinion on the trainwreck that
is Amy Winehouse’s life. Courtney claimed she hung out with Amy while she was in
America on tour last March, and was amazed by the amount of drugs Amy
ingested."

Amazed? Impressed? Ok Courtney dear, are you trying to be the next Joan Rivers or something. It was cute when you came out and blamed some D-List celebrity that probably paid you for the publicity for Owen Wilson's overdose. If you are going to continue to be a commentary for every celeb in Hollywood people are going to mistake you for Candy Spelling though.

apart.”"

It is at times like this that I feel like a girl. It is so sad to hear that they are done. I hope this is just a silly rumor. Now I want to call someone up and ask them - "Did you hear?". Wonder if my sister is awake. At any rate this is something that I will be watching and I will confirm it for you when I get more news.

Cops: Andy Dicked Over His Neighbors - TMZ.com:

"Los Angeles County Sheriffs made a visit to Andy Dick's house in West Hollywood
last night, this time for throwing beer bottles into his neighbor's yard. Law
enforcement sources tell TMZ that a call came in around 9:50 PM, complaining
that Dick was tossing bottles over his fence. The comedian was warned, and
officers left the residence. Later, around 12:30 AM, yet another call was
received by police about noise at Andy's place. Squad cars responded, and Dick
was again issued a warning."

I'll bet his neighbors wish they had Jon Lovitz on speed dial. Hey Jon, common over, your friend needs someone to punch him in the face again.

celebrity nation: Colin Firth stalker arrested:

"An unidentified employee of the Royal Mail in London was arrested on August 24
for harassing actor Colin Firth. The mailwoman, who has been taken into custody
for stalking Firth in the past, had applied to move her delivery route in order
to deliver his mail. The woman allegedly posted fabricated accounts of meetings
with the British actor on a popular Firth fan site. A rep for Firth had no
comment."

Who in the hell would stallk Colin Firth, is this just a stunt because they are secretly talking about doing another Bridgette Jones movie - please let that just be a joke. It is good that he wasn't harmed though, I guess they let anyone deliver the mail over there in England.

I would have thought that she would have done this a long time ago. If she is going to get on equal ground with Kevin, she is going to need something to counter the image that of her that has been out there in the media.

Democrats Boycott Rogue Primaries | Redstate

Democrats Boycott Rogue Primaries Redstate:

"I shall not campaign or participate in any state which schedules a presidential
election primary or caucus before Feb. 5, 2008, except for the states of Iowa,
Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina, as 'campaigning' is defined by the
rules and regulations of the DNC. It does not include activities specifically
related to raising campaign resources such as fundraising events or the hiring
of fundraising staff."

I think this is a good patch, but it is just a patch. What really needs to be done is a solid change of the system before the next presidential election. The system is broken and it needs to be repaired.

News Hounds: Steve Forbes, Co-Chair of the Giuliani Campaign, Suggests We Shoot Poor People

News Hounds: Steve Forbes, Co-Chair of the Giuliani Campaign, Suggests We Shoot Poor People:

"This morning (September 1, 2007) during one of Fox's Saturday morning 'business
news' shows, Forbes on Fox, Fox aired a segment declaring that, 'We need a 'fat
tax' to save America.' (That's fat tax, not flat tax, and note that the
seemingly ever-present Cavuto mark was missing from the chyron.) The premise was
that we should tax junk food in order to help pay for the increased medical
expenses generated by overweight and obese people. One of the participants, Bill
Baldwin, the Editor of Forbes magazine, seemed to agree, If you eat a
Nutri-Grain bar and get diabetes, you're jacking up my health insurance premium.
Yes, it should be taxed. There are a lot of things you do that impose taxes, ah,
impose costs on innocent people and they should be taxed. "

Like it or not, this is the same logic that has been used very loudly for taxing cigarettes. If the logic is sound for cigarettes, you would have to show me how that same logic cannot be extended to food. The only problem that I see is drawing the line between normal consumption and obese consumption - with tobacco there is no normal amount of consumption.

Michelle Malkin » Geraldo Rivera unhinged

Michelle Malkin » Geraldo Rivera unhinged:

"Rivera, who as a fledgling lawyer in the ’70s counseled the Puerto Rican
nationalist group the Young Lords, says he can’t stomach the politicians and
pundits who are stoking “anti-immigrant hysteria,” and his antipathy extends to
some of his colleagues at Fox. “Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful
commentator I’ve ever met in my life,” he says. “She actually believes that
neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting
people. “It’s good she’s in D.C. and I’m in New York,” Rivera sneers. “I’d spit
on her if I saw her.”"

Geraldo, you would spit on her, that's just childish. How do you speak to how hateful someone is, and at the same time say you want to spit on them. It just doesn't work.

Hot Air » Blog Archive » LAT wonders: How could Hillary not have known about Hsu?:

"As Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu confronted an old criminal case and faced a new
FBI investigation Friday, a fundamental question persisted: How did Democratic
presidential front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign fail to see the red flags
in Hsu’s contributions?…The most obvious red flag: A check of a commonly used database
produces a 1990 San Francisco Chronicle news story detailing how Norman Hsu had been kidnapped by gang members in the San Mateo County suburb of Foster City. A second widely used database discloses that Norman Yuan Yuen Hsu of Foster City had a bankruptcy in 1990…In most instances, a donor’s background is well-known. But if the person is not known to the campaign, that person will be vetted.All major campaigns employ researchers who investigate their opponents, and pick over their candidates’ donors,
particularly those who are raising six-figure sums. Some campaigns retain
consulting firms specifically to vet donors.One consultant said some campaigns
ask donors for permission to run background checks because political opponents
almost certainly will investigate the sources of their foes’ campaign money."

Yesterday I was talking about how I just didn't believe that Hsu did not know about the law looking for him. His story just does not sound credible to me. Today we look at Hilary and how credible is her denial of knowledge of Hsu and his situation. Was she aware of the problems that are not only associated with his criminal record, but how a middle class family in San Francisco was able to donate in the six figures to a political party.

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Video: Haditha, November 19, 2005:

"The video appears to show that, throughout that day, Marines engaged in fierce
firefights and called in air strikes to level buildings — often with no
definitive idea of who was inside.That could buttress defense arguments that
Marines clearing buildings on the ground with guns and grenades were just
following rules of engagement.“The defense can say, ‘Hey, look, you had to do
this later in the day, what’s the difference between what happened later in the
day and what our guys did earlier in the day?’ ” asked retired Marine Lt. Col.
Gary Solis, a former prosecutor and military judge who teaches law at Georgetown
University and West Point."

I think this does put the whole affair in a new light. If there had been conflict from those houses earlier in the day, it would be understandable that they would be concerned about attacks coming from them again. It will be interesting to see how this video plays out in court, if it will be allowed and how it will be used. It was shot from a drone flying over the city on the day of the incident.

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Pope: God was silent towards Mother Teresa to teach her empathy for nonbelievers

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Pope: God was silent towards Mother Teresa to teach her empathy for nonbelievers:

"Pope Benedict said on Saturday that even the late Mother Teresa of Calcutta
“suffered from the silence of God” despite her immense charity and faith…It is
significant that the Pope mentioned Mother Teresa’s torment about God’s silence
as not being unusual because there was some speculation that the letters could
hurt the procedure to make her a saint.“All believers know about the silence of
God,” he said in unprepared remarks. “Even Mother Teresa, with all her charity
and force of faith, suffered from the silence of God,” he said.He said believers
sometimes had to withstand the silence of God in order to understand the
situation of people who do not believe."

I think that this is a very introspective and deep understanding of the nature of belief. How could you ever talk to someone who didn't believe what you believed if you never had your doubts. That might be why new converts are the least successful in talking about their faith. It also explains Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh, I think they have given up understanding and at the same time communicating with the other side.

Daily Kos: "Why not just let them burn"?:

"We've gone ... from fighting log fires to structure protection. Where is it
that we have to protect those structures? Why not just let them burn? - Montana
Rep. John Sinrud "

I can actually see both sides of this argument. On the one hand, they did build their homes in the forest, where they had to have known about the fire danger. Did they take the steps that they should to secure their house or not. Did they think that tree that branched over the house was to beautiful to have removed. Also how much money do you spend on saving a house, assume the house is worth $100k, should you invest $500k to save it, it would be cheaper to let it burn and rebuild it.

The other side of course is that you are not talking about peoples houses, you are talking about peoples lives. That is understandable, though not entirely something that persuades me since I think that too much energy is invested in peoples things.

Crooks and Liars » Ben Stein’s Delusional Defense Of Senator Larry Craig

Crooks and Liars » Ben Stein’s Delusional Defense Of Senator Larry Craig:

"Former Nixon advisor, actor, TV game show host and comedian, Ben Stein appeared
with FOXNews’ Neil Cavuto and makes what is probably the most misguided,
fact-free and delusional defense of Larry Craig we’ve found since the scandal
broke earlier this week. Stein says Craig was railroaded, and that all he did
was tap his foot. He repeatedly accuses the Minneapolis Police Department of
using Gestapo tactics and aiding terrorists because they should be scouring the
airport looking for terrorists, fervently states that gay sex isn’t illegal
because the SCOTUS says so and then claims the Executive Branch may have been
involved in bringing Craig down to change the balance of power in D.C. WTF?"

Do you know what he is talking about, do you think he knows what he is talking about. What is it about this story that are bringing everyone out of the woods to speak on this.

Atlas Shrugs: Karen Hughes Romper Bombers Room

Atlas Shrugs: Karen Hughes Romper Bombers Room:

"As a test of her idea, Hughes asked embassies in 14 Islamic countries this
summer to come up with pilot programmes for that age bracket, and spent nearly
$1 million on projects that involved about 6,000 youths and hundreds of local
partnering organisations. Participants included more than 2,000 girls in Turkey
who attended a basketball camp and 80 children from rural schools in Malaysia
who learned about Thomas Jefferson and other US heroes on an American-style
camping trip with embassy staff and families. "

This is one of those areas where theory and practice are not the same. In theory this is a great idea, to create strong healthy images of America in the children's minds. However in practice it has some real concerns. If they are going to camp to learn basketball, soccer and football then it isn't something that would raise a lot of flags. However there is a concern when at these camps you are teaching them about American history, and its heroes. It gets close to the line of becoming propaganda, and in doing so opens the door for others to make accusations of brain washing. History is a touchy issue, Regan for example. You can tell them how he worked hard to end communism, but will you tell them how he supported dictators in Latin America? There is a dishonesty in telling half the story and a counter productivity in telling it all. Keep to the sports.

A Freeper smacks down the Base over Craig - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:

"Ironically, the remarks of Barney Frank seemed to me to be the best placed of
this controversy. Of course he did not object to Craig's homosexuality and
thought he should remain in the Senate. But he did criticize the man's
hypocrisy. In this Barney Frank struck home. So long as we as conservatives
attack homosexuals for their status as homosexuals rather than for their overt
acts which are repugnant to a higher value, we are open to the hypocrisy charge.
And every time a Republican homosexual is outed, we will become a laughingstock.
We are open to the charge that we are hypocrites when we invoke the criminal law
to enforce our predilections about sex because we are the party which says it
stands for individual liberty and limited government. The Democrats say we
intrude government into the bedroom and in this case they are right. So, when
they say the same thing about abortion, we cannot effectively deny the charge
even though a much higher value-a baby's life-is at stake."

I have long been confused by conservatives would take such a strong anti-gay stand. Classic conservatism wants to give the government the least power that it can. What are you talking about, when you talk about the government not allowing gay couples to share in equal relationships, you are talking about the government telling people who they have the right to love. How much more powerful and intrusive could the government be?

ABC News: Doctors Warn on Vaginal Cosmetic Surgery

ABC News: Doctors Warn on Vaginal Cosmetic Surgery:

"Dr. Erin Tracy was surprised when a teenage patient came to her gynecological
practice to request a surgical procedure. Her young patient wanted a more
attractive vagina. The girl sought labiaplasty — a procedure to trim down and
shape the inner or outer lips of the vagina, often for cosmetic purposes. "

This is just so disturbing and upsetting and something that I just don't understand that I don't know what to say. Womyn must really not understand men, once they get to the point of seeing your vagina, they are going to finish the work. It just isn't something that men are concerned about. Unless it reflects your sexual behavior in some way.
