Cheney's heart restored to normal rhythm

Doctors Administer Electrical Shock to Cheney's Heart to Successfully Restore Normal Rhythm

Doctors administered an electrical shock to Vice President Dick Cheney's heart and restored it to a normal rhythm during a 2 1/2 hour hospital visit Monday. The procedure was described as a low-risk, standard practice. Cheney, 66, went home from George Washington University Hospital and was expected back at work on Tuesday.

Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, was discovered to have an irregular heartbeat around 7 a.m. when he was seen by doctors at the White House for a lingering cough from a cold. He remained at work throughout the day, joining President Bush in meetings with Mideast leaders.

Uh, Oh Canada!

Tell A Friend

Recently the Canadian Supreme Court refused to hear appeals on the denial of refugee status for two US military Iraq war resisters that were among the firs to flee to Canada: Jeremy Hinzman and Brandon Hughey. I have had the opportunity to meet both of these brave and honorable young men on my many trips to Canada imploring the government and the people to accept our war resisters as our Northern Neighbors have done in the past. With 64.6% of Canadians supporting allowing our Iraq war resisters to stay, this situation is another example of how governments simply refuse to listen to their citizens.

When I met with leaders of the separatist party, the Bloc Quebecois, they were very sympathetic but outlined their reasons for not supporting resolutions to grant our resisters amnesty, refugee status or asylum. The Bloc has since changed their policy and do support giving our war resisters amnesty, but their past reasoning can help us understand what is happening up North.

that Cheney would retire, and Jeb boy Bush would be installed as VP, to run as an incumbant.
If that happened, I probably could not trust myself to remain complacent, ya know?

my mind would love to oblige,

but my body took one look outside and went back in for more coffee.

While President Bush is attending a Mideast conference in Annapolis this morning, “he won’t remain there for long.” He “plans to head back to the White House after delivering his opening speech to the diplomats and dignitaries at the U.S. Naval Academy.” White House aides said he wasn’t planning to offer new American proposals to resolve the conflict.

The Politico writes of Sen. Trent Lott’s lucrative lobbying career prospects. “A near-certain scenario has him teaming up with his son, lobbyist Chester Lott, founder of Lott & Associates. Another, still fluid, idea is partnering with former Louisiana Democratic Sen. John Breaux, who is said to be mulling a departure from the lobbying powerhouse Patton Boggs.”

Military wants more views on Iraq reports

WASHINGTON -- Top military leaders at the Pentagon want to avoid a repeat of the last public assessment of the Iraq war -- with its relentless focus on the opinion of a single commander -- when the Bush administration makes its next crucial decision about the size of the U.S. force.

Concerned about the war's effect on public trust in the military, the leading officials said they hoped the next major assessment early next year would not place as much emphasis on the views of Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top American commander in Iraq, who in September spent dozens of hours in testimony before Congress and in televised interviews.

Time Magazine Circles The Wagons Around Joe Klein
By Jane Hamsher on Tue Nov 27, 2007 at 08:08 am

sept10_polls_klein2.jpgI’ve spent all morning on the phone trying to figure out who the editor at Time Magazine was on Joe Klein’s FISA column (the one Klein has now written about five times, fully admitting he never read the original bill). I finally confirmed that the editor was Priscilla Painton, and called her and identified myself. I asked her what the editing process was, and how a piece with so many errors made it into print.

“That assumes that there are errors,” she said. And hung up on me.

Her number is 212-522-2022.

Her boss is Time’s Managing Editor Rick Stengel. Tomorrow is the magazine’s deadline to issue a correction in the print edition that will appear in two weeks (not that the damage hasn’t already been done).

Meanwhile, the editor of Time.com is Josh Tyrangiel, the former music editor who is responsible for issuing an online correction to the piece — which hasn’t been done yet either.

I guess now we know why.

could be booming if we had only given the armored vehicle contracts to them. Retooling would be relatively inexpensive compared to $750,000 per armored Humvee.

Cops: McDonald's Workers Attacked by Cross-Dressers

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A troublesome trio of transvestites allegedly laid siege to a Memphis McDonald's restaurant Sunday night, sparking a brawl with the restaurant's crew, according to reports. Police said they were working on a more detailed description of three men dressed in drag who came into a McDonald's restaurant and started swinging.

Restaurant employee Martez Brisco was working the drive-through window when he reportedly got into an argument with the suspects. When Brisco ignored them tapping at the window, they came in. "They come to the window, 'Tap, tap, tap.' I'm still ignoring them," Brisco told WMC-TV. "I guess that just pissed them off worser."

The transvestites allegedly struck the manager with a tire iron, and when he swung back, the drag queens took off their stiletto boots, removed their earrings and prepared to attack. The manager, Albert Bolton, was covered with scratch marks after suspects clawed him with their fingernails.

Bolton grabbed a pot of scalding french-fry grease and hurled it at his attackers. One of the cross-dressers then smacked Bolton with a wet floor sign, sending him to the hospital in an ambulance, WMC-TV reported. Before driving off, the three attackers smashed the drive-through window.

cold foggy shit...you know the stuff...

how's the gang up north bud?

I know last week when Maron was plugged in, it went great

look. the drug addicted (caffeine, alcohol (did you ever notice that the people who support the traitors that run this country all drink alcohol everyday. ie rednecks, lawyers, ceo's, used car salesmen, etc.), and the magical pharmaceuticals the "doctors" push) souless people are never going to wake up until they are desperate. then they have no power at all.

until the stupid fucking humans of the planet realize that a handfull of fucked up people cannot tell the billions of others what to do, and do something about it, humanity will be ending soon. and good riddance to garbage.

let's face it, no one does nothing even when they have their brief moments of lucidity because they are all whores that have bought into this ugly lie that is this united states. this evil society has never paid the price for the genocide. Or the slavery. They enjoyed the spoils that came with the slavery and genocide. But paid no price. Hippocrits to the core are what amercicans are. "everybody has to live by rules but us". Fucking scumbags.

The French used the only way out of such a situation. IT'S GUILLOTINE TIME !!!! There's no other way because you can't control the information that the masses get anymore. people who speak the truth are crushed by society. just look at how this country treats ralph nader. ralph nader tries to stand up for the little guy who can't stand for himself. sounds like the closest thing to Jesus Christ that the USA has to offer. But then the religious leaders of the united states condemn him. what a joke. and people wonder why i think it's to stupid in america to leave your house.

Iraqi Constitution Requires Parliament to Approve Long-Term U.S. Presence
By Spencer Ackerman - November 27, 2007, 11:31AM
Yesterday, General Douglas Lute, a top Iraq adviser to President Bush, said that the administration didn't require Senate ratification for its forthcoming long-term security guarantee to the Iraqis. It's unclear whether that's true, and I'll tell you more as soon as I know it. But even if it is, the Iraqi constitution stipulates that Iraq's parliament has to ratify any such agreement. And the Iraqi parliament is a lot more hostile to the idea of hosting U.S. troops indefinitely than the U.S. Senate is.

Take a look at Article 58, Section 4 of the Iraqi constitution. It stipulates that the Iraqi parliament shall ratify "international treaties and agreements by a two-thirds majority." Whether or not President Bush and Prime Minister Maliki can finagle the deal so that it's not a treaty -- as Lute suggested yesterday -- it most certainly is an "agreement."

And it's hard to see the votes for a two-thirds parliamentary majority.

In May, 144 out of 275 parliamentarians signed a petition calling for a phased withdrawal of U.S. forces. Convincing those same parliamentarians that they should vote for an indefinite U.S. presence is made an even harder sell when considering that Maliki is dishonestly selling his deal with Bush as meaning an end to the occupation. If there was any doubt about Maliki's strategy to push the security deal through despite popular and parliamentary opposition, one of his senior aides told the Los Angeles Times that, in the paper's paraphrase, "what was being discussed was a phased withdrawal of U.S. forces in the next few years." Score one for full-on bamboozlement.

But just because, procedurally, Maliki would be constitutionally obligated to seek parliamentary ratification is no guarantee that he will. After all, he helms a government that, among other abuses of power, tortures and assassinates corruption judges for investigating his cronies. So the rule of law isn't much of a prophylactic for the Iraqi premier. But if Maliki contravenes his own constitution in order to give President Bush an enduring U.S. troop presence in Iraq, that'll at least undercut the Bush administration's pledge that it seeks this new "normalized" relationship in order to "Respec[t] and uphol[d] the Constitution as the expression of the will of the Iraqi people and stan[d] against any attempt to impede, suspend, or violate it."

'Financial problems' hastened Lott's retirement, Specter says
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
By Bill Toland and Jerome L. Sherman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Sen. Arlen Specter yesterday said it was his understanding that new regulations on lobbying by ex-lawmakers played a significant role in Sen. Trent Lott's decision to retire, contradicting what the Mississippi senator told reporters in his home state.

If he steps down at the end of the year, Mr. Lott, a Republican, will be able to begin lobbying after just a year's wait, rather than two.

Mr. Specter suggested Mr. Lott has been experiencing "financial problems" since Hurricane Katrina destroyed his beachfront home in Pascagoula, Miss., in 2005. Soon after, he involved himself in a class-action legal dispute with State Farm Insurance, claiming the wreckage was caused primarily by the high winds and not by flooding. Many homeowner's policies don't cover flood damage but will cover wind damage.

Mr. Specter said the early retirement would allow Mr. Lott to make more money than he does now, and even said that it's not easy for a senator to make ends meet on the $165,000 base salary, noting that most of them have to keep two homes -- one in their home states and one in or near Washington, D.C.

"I'm sorry to see him leave," Mr. Specter said in Pittsburgh yesterday.

Mr. Specter said he has no intention of pursuing Mr. Lott's to-be-vacated post as GOP whip in the Senate, but added that he's expecting fierce competition for the spot.

"The maneuvering has already started for that," he said. "I got two telephone calls already this morning."

Over time successful people can develop ego issues and thusly see certain opportunities beneath their selves.

especially from those of us on the job it is hard to do - on sunday i go on the im but at work cannot - my work computer is not set up and can't be. I could set up my laptop for im and bring it in on tuesday but you know, it's a hassle on top of all the other hassles - i wish they would move to a more accessible time slot

That sounds about right..Unfortunately..

"Hello to our friends and fans in domestic surveillance."

Feeling better and back to work.

Did you see that Hastert sent his resignation letter to Blagojevich so that the Gov would set up a special election to fill his seat? Hastert doesn't want an appointment of a Dem.

Opportunities grow us. :-)

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert resigned from Congress Monday, formally setting in motion a rare special election to succeed him.

The veteran lawmaker said the timing of his resignation was based on the advice of attorneys, with the aim of saving taxpayers money on election costs.

Hastert suggested the special primary election to fill out the remainder of his term could be held on Feb. 5, the same day as Illinois' regular primary election, which will decide nominees for Hastert's long-term replacement as well.

snip

Under state law, it's up to Gov. Rod Blagojevich to call a special election, and he has to set the date within five days of Hastert's resignation, which took effect at 10:59 p.m. Monday. By law, the seat must be filled within 120 days.

If Blagojevich chooses, there could be two primaries for Hastert's seat on Feb. 5 -- one for the short-term vacancy and one for the term that begins in January 2009. Just as for the regular primary, candidates will have to file candidacy petitions to get on the special primary ballot.

The dual nature of the campaigning -- for the special election and the regular primary -- may become costly for candidates, who will be forced to intensify their efforts because it is unlikely that a primary voter would vote for two separate candidates for the same office to cover different time spans.

Hastert said he had no immediate career plans but expects to devote time to creating the Hastert Center for Economics, Government and Public Policy at Wheaton College, his alma mater. The school also will house a library collection of his congressional papers.

Hastert, the longest-serving GOP House speaker, said he had not explored job opportunities because of the potential for conflicts of interest while still a member of Congress.

"I'm going to talk to some folks. I may serve on some boards. I really don't know," Hastert said. But, he said, he had no plans to eventually lobby his former colleagues after what he said was a two-year ban on such activities by ex-House members.

NEW THREAD NEW THREAD

Yes I did hear something about that....
Also there is that new law that takes effect @ the end of the year -
where you would have to wait 2 yrs. to lobby (I really haven't read about it - so I'm talking kinda out of my ass)
anywho.... thats the reason everyone is saying Lott & Hastert are retiring before the end of the year.

Iranian president losing support
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7106335.stm
In a rare attack on Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a hardline newspaper has accused him of behaving immorally towards his political rivals.

The Islamic Republic daily, close to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has said Mr Ahmadinejad's behaviour is dangerous for Iran.

The publication is seen as a newspaper with impeccable Islamic credentials.
[...]
Losing support

It was referring to a recent speech by Mr Ahmadinejad when he described people opposed to his nuclear programme as traitors and accused some senior former nuclear negotiators of spying for foreigners.

The paper said Mr Ahmadinejad was using this tactic to discredit his political rivals prior to the parliamentary elections due early next year.

It called on Iran's judiciary to perform its duty and punish people who make baseless allegations and cause public anxiety.

Such a direct personal attack against President Ahmadinejad is indeed rare in official media in Iran.

It shows that the Iranian president is not only losing support among ordinary people because of economic hardship, he is also angering part of the establishment for using the nuclear issue to bolster his personal power.

Society simply favors the wrong kind of attitudes...The wrong kind of people...

I'd bet that you know someone in your life that would do the kind of job that you'd like to see done just as well as the "successful"...It's just that you know that there is no way in hell they'd ever win anything...

Promote them instead of wasting your time on the "famed"...Promote the good people in your life and change society from the ground up...

Give fame no matter how small to those that deserve it.
