Hannity's head explodes

guess you were right

man she is making me sick--"my opponent outspent me 2 to 1, but the people of PA have spoken"....GODD!! turned off the radio!

After Hillary's win in Pennsylvania last night, a couple of things are clear: focusing on a low-level gutter campaign against Hillary by Obama is a losing strategy and the real focus for the leading candidate should be the defeat of McCain.

So, with Indiana and North Carolina coming up, I thing Barack should focus on campaigning against McCain and ignore Hillary entirely. First of all, that will be a frustrating situation for Hillary, who really needs Obama to jump when she hits him with a negative. If he ignores her, she is perceived as powerless.Secondly, McCain is campaigning against the Democrats right now... and he is focusing on Obama in particular. There is no good reason to give the Republican such a headstart on the National election.

Obama has the campaign organization and the money to go hard into campaigning as the leading Democrat against McCain. Hillary is nearly broke. If she pushes even harder after Obama the way she did in Pennsylvania, it will be very costly for her, and will alienate many Democrats who will see Obama as above the negatives.

There really is no other way to proceed successfully.

Under The LobsterScope

The Rush Limpballs crowd is still voting for Hillary?

Limpballs....I gotta watch DN....did Amy chew her up?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-BszlG4xQo

just think of it this way...which republican would you rather have...Hillary or McCain..? come on, you are used to voting for the lesser of two evils arent you?...I have never voted for someone I really liked...I know if that person runs, my liking himher is their death knell...

get real and wake up....vote against McCain aready....

but it is a moot point ....Clinton doesn't have a chance unless she steals it....

Clintonista's who refuse to vote for Obama...if Clinton does not bring them into the fold....then I will work against her reelection in New York....

Great Speech!

What a speaker. In the ward I was talking to a lifelong repub ex cop who says he is probably going to vote for Obama if he is the candidate.

Why? He says because he brings something different: Youth and real charisma.

I always find it amazing when a talk show host discovers that the rest of the country is not on the same page as them. It just doesn't occur to them that not everyone has millions of dollars in the bank to sustain them through any rough patch. I always like it when reporters ask politicians how much a loaf of bread costs or a gallon of milk. If they can't answer that, how the hell do they know what the problems of typical Americans are? They are obviously not the typical American.

Signs Indicate That Duels May Be Hurting Party

Clinton voters also appear especially likely to say they will abandon the party if their candidate is not the nominee. Fifty-three percent of those voting for her yesterday said they would cast a ballot for Obama in a hypothetical November matchup against McCain. More than a quarter said they would vote for the Republican, and about two in 10 said they would not vote at all. More of those supporting Obama in the primary, 68 percent, said they would vote for Clinton over McCain in the fall, if that became their choice.

about on the ward?? I am kinda new here...I used to work in one of those...a real snake pit in the 80's....it was on Hollywood Blvd and I ran an eating disorder unit...crazy shit I tell you.....The guy you met who talked about oneness is not crazy...sounds pretty Buddhist to me

No he was not crazy. He had all sorts of physical aliments.

He had surgery, epilepsy, and his hemoglobin kept dropping and they didn't know why. So he had to get a blood transfusion.

He must of said something wrong such as "why dont they just let me die" or something like that.

He was my roommate. As Conservative as they come.

But he said he views McCain as just another career politician.

ie: Will say or do anything.

Sorta like how I view Hillary.

The Bush administration is scrapping a $20-million prototype of its “virtual” border fence along the Arizona-Mexico border “because the system is failing to adequately alert Border Patrol agents to illegal crossings. … The move comes just two months after Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced his approval of the fence built by The Boeing Co.”

News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch “is moving to tighten his already-imposing grip on American news media, striking a tentative deal to buy his third New York-based paper, Newsday,” for $580 million. The deal would put him in charge of three of the nation’s 10 largest-circulation papers (including the Wall Street Journal and The New York Post).

Good Morning :)

An even split among voters when polled about the "clinging to guns and religion" Obama comment is hardly "agreement". I think Sam's head imploded from Clinton's big win last night.

Just so you know, this infusion I am getting is called Remicade and it is supposed to slow the progression of Rheumatoid Arthritis. It takes about 2 hours but I have to take an infusion of an antihistamin first.

Later bloggers!

We'll be wishing for the best

from Maureen Dowd:

He’s never going to shake her off.

Not all by himself.

The very fact that he can’t shake her off has become her best argument against him. “Why can’t he close the deal?” Hillary taunted at a polling place on Tuesday.

She’s been running ads about it, suggesting he doesn’t have “what it takes” to run the country. Her message is unapologetically emasculating: If he does not have the gumption to put me in my place, when superdelegates are deserting me, money is drying up, he’s outspending me 2-to-1 on TV ads, my husband’s going crackers and party leaders are sick of me, how can he be trusted to totally obliterate Iran and stop Osama?

Now that Hillary has won Pennsylvania, it will take a village to help Obama escape from the suffocating embrace of his rival. Certainly Howard Dean will be of no use steering her to the exit. It’s like Micronesia telling Russia to denuke.

“You know, some people counted me out and said to drop out,” said a glowing Hillary at her Philadelphia victory party, with Bill and Chelsea by her side. “Well, the American people don’t quit. And they deserve a president who doesn’t quit, either.”

The Democrats are growing ever more desperate about the Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. With gas prices out of control, with the comically oblivious President Bush shimmying around New Orleans — the city he let drown — and Condi sneaking into Baghdad as rockets and mortars hail down on the Green Zone, beating the Republicans should be a cinch.

But the Democrats watch in horror as Hillary continues to scratch up the once silvery sheen on Obama, and as John McCain not only consolidates his own party but encroaches on theirs by boldly venturing into Selma, Ala., on Monday to woo black voters.

They also cringe as Bill continues his honey-crusted-nut-bar meltdown. With his usual exquisite timing, just as Pennsylvanians were about to vote, Hillary’s husband became the first person ever to play the Caucasian Card. First, he blurted out to a radio interviewer that the Obama camp had played the race card against him after he compared Obama’s strength in South Carolina to Jesse Jackson’s. And then, with a Brobdingnagian finger-wagging on the screen, he denied it to an NBC News reporter.

“You always follow me around and play these little games, and I’m not going to play your games today,” he said, accusing the reporter of looking for “another cheap story to divert the American people from the real urgent issues before us.”

If there’s one person who knows about crass diversions, it’s Bill. But even for him, it was an embarrassing explosion, capped with some blue language to an aide that was caught on air.

The Democrats are eager to move on to an Obama-McCain race. But they can’t because no one seems to be able to show Hillary the door. Despite all his incandescent gifts, Obama has missed several opportunities to smash the ball over the net and end the game. Again and again, he has seemed stuck at deuce. He complains about the politics of scoring points, but to win, you’ve got to score points.

...

Before they devour themselves once more, perhaps the Democrats will take a cue from Dr. Seuss’s “Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!” (The writer once mischievously redid it for his friend Art Buchwald as “Richard M. Nixon Will You Please Go Now!”) They could sing:

“The time has come. The time has come. The time is now. Just go. ... I don’t care how. You can go by foot. You can go by cow. Hillary R. Clinton, will you please go now! You can go on skates. You can go on skis. ... You can go in an old blue shoe.

Just go, go, GO!”

ToniD

that may be a good end game strategy but right now it works against obama.

the reason why is asshats like mcauliffe are going to the super delegates with a stat that says obama voters will cross over to hillary on a higher basis than clinton voters will cross over to obama and therefore you need to support clinton. its twisted logic but thats the argument none the less.

so, there is no fucking way i will vote for clinton

any strong drugs to spare? like pain killers? pb was having a hard time sleeping last night, toothache!

with nothing else on to stream (are you listening mr. green?) i put on malloys show from last night.

Nice to meet you to :)

Yeah I thought it was pretty cool. Not all conservatives are as narrow minded as it seems.

Alot of them are just like misinformed or taught to believe that its always dog eat dog the strong survive and all that crap.

Anyway, I forget where I was going with this :D

As a matter of fact, my case manager is coming to my house today to do a home visit, so that should be fun. He's a cool guy, only a a year or two older than me. The problem with the psych system is 1. if you don't fit their mold for treatment; if standard treatment doesn't work, you are screwed and they just kinda give up 2. They treat everyone like drug addicts.

For instance, I went to the ward for well self harm and those bad thoughts. I went in honestly seeking psych help. I actually wanted to go to the state hospital for a few months. But the place was really nothing more than a detox. There were only a few of us who were not there for detox. they should not lump everyone together like that.

The Low Road to Victory

The Pennsylvania campaign, which produced yet another inconclusive result on Tuesday, was even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate, and more filled with pandering than the mean, vacuous, desperate, pander-filled contests that preceded it.

Voters are getting tired of it; it is demeaning the political process; and it does not work. It is past time for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to acknowledge that the negativity, for which she is mostly responsible, does nothing but harm to her, her opponent, her party and the 2008 election.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/opinion/23wed1.html?em&ex=1209096000&e...

totally....but the endgame is what gets our next president....I loath Clinton....too!

I wish. I just had two wisdom teeth pulled a week or so ago right before I went in and all I got was 15 vicodin ES. They worked, but I should have got like thirty cause it was still hurting like a bitch.

All I got is temazepam. :/

I watch MSNBC for Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow and to see what weirdness falls out of the mouth of Chris Matthews. I watched the entire thing last night. There was barely any Rachel at all.

Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan kept repeating the same GOP talking point: "Why can't this guy (Obama) close the deal?" Over and over and over. And the Hillary campaign people were saying the same things. Turned on Bill Press this morning and he was saying the same thing. "You got to ask yourself, what's wrong with this guy? Why can't he close the deal?" So I'm through with Press.

Why is it only Obama is leveled this charge? Why aren't they asking: why can't Hillary close the deal? For that matter, with the two top Dems cutting each other to shreds, why can't McCain close the deal? He still comes up short in polls when matched against Obama.

BTW, why doesn't Hillary wear a flag pin? Why doesn't McCain? Why is Obama the only one saddled with that fake guilt trip?

why is uncle pat, an avowed conservative who hates democrats, allowed to cover a democratic race?

You are so right...when I headed up the eating disorder unit they lumped us in with all the other open unit patients...that was the downfall of our program.....I knew addiction really well but I did not know what to do with schizophrenics...it was mayhem....I will never work in a hospital again...now I have a nice little office in my house and I can fold laundry and blog between clients...I hope you get the care you need to help you mend....let me know if I can help with that....

thank God for this blog...As Marc would say Buchanan is a clown and he doesn't know it...All this punditry is so damn narcissistic....what a bunch of bafoons....I wonder how long Keith can take it....He is our next Moyers...

hahaha---that is what got you in trouble in the first place right?

that is no damn lie...the cooking channel helped some too this a.m. i must admit!

Alas, not a real person, and yet a possible write-in candidate.

Ever since they took me off my xanax three years ago I have been forced to quit school and work and go on disability because I just cannot function. I have horrible anxiety and I isolate.

It really sux too cause I was like a year from graduating with a BS in Bio and the Ed component for Bio and Gen Science.

and that was ALOT of work considering I have no high school. Just my Freshman year, then I was kicked out.

So, for the time being I have to try to use my temazepam (sleeping aid) as an anti anxiety. :/

at least till I can get my hands on something real.

Once they flag you, you are screwed.

No

was Jeff Bridges in the contender....even over Andrew Shepard! His last speech supporting women, I used to show to my domestic violence clients...It so powerful when a man stands up for women. Wish it was like that....

Members of this group, as a Register front-page article April 6 detailed, can drive their cars as fast as they choose. They can drink a six-pack of beer at a bar and then get behind the wheel and weave their way home. They can zoom in and out of traffic, run traffic lights, roll through stop signs and ignore school crossing zones. They can ride on toll roads for free, park in illegal spots and drive on High Occupancy Vehicle lanes even if they have no passengers in the car with them. Chances are they will never have to pay a fine or get a traffic citation.

I can identify with having Xanax script pulled suddenly. I'd complained to a doc about nightmares and he assumed it was the Xanax. Turned out it was my Clariten doing it, not the Xanax - but I could never get back on Xanax.

SO....

I studied and found alternatives.

BEST ones I've found are GABA and 5-HTP, which actually work better than Xanax without the druggy effect.

I take the GABA at night and the 5-HTP in the daytime. Both are found in Whole Foods.

5-HTP is also found at Walmart.

Do your own research on these two products and - mandatory disclaimer - know that I'm not a doctor or nutritionist and that you make your own decisions. I only offer these suggestions because they helped me a great deal and continue to help me every day.

wake me the fuck up....tell me something i dont know!!! remember one saturday you had a whole lot of drugs and weed..could you show me some right about now...i need some!!

did they wean you off the xanax really slowly, like over 6 months? If not no wonder you are riddled with anxiety....my email is mhappenow and i am with yahoo. I have helped people get off the damn benzo's before...those drugs can be really horrible, but they are fantastic in the short term...

Encouraged by the Quaker Hannay, she tries to bring support to reforming Bedlam, but the cruel Master Sims who runs it has her committed there. The inmates, however, have the last say.

chaos, pandemonium, topsy-turvydom, topsy-turvyness
confusion - disorder resulting from a failure to behave predictably; "the army retreated in confusion"

Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, April 23, 2008; Page A04

NEW YORK, April 22 -- Christine Todd Whitman, the former head of the Environmental Protection Agency, cannot be held liable for assuring residents near the burning detritus of the World Trade Center after the 2001 attacks that the air was safe to breathe, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.

Because Whitman did not intend to cause harm, a panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit said, her message did not "shock the conscience" to the degree necessary to waive her immunity as a federal official.

The residents, students and office workers say Whitman should be forced to pay damages to properly clean homes and schools and create a fund to monitor health. They are considering an appeal, their lawyer said.

"These residents, workers and students continue to get sicker and sicker, and that's what makes this decision so tragic," said Joel Kupferman, co-counsel for the plaintiffs.

Whitman, who has always maintained that her agency acted responsibly, said in a statement, "I am pleased that the court today confirmed what I have said -- that we at the EPA acted reasonably and made every effort to protect the people of New York."

Her attorneys had argued that holding Whitman personally liable would prevent officials from speaking to the public in future crises.

Three days after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Whitman told reporters, "The good news continues to be that air samples we have taken have all been at levels that cause us no concern."

And on Sept. 18, 2001, she reassured residents that their air "is safe to breathe and their water is safe to drink." Whitman later testified in congressional hearings that she was talking about the air of Lower Manhattan generally, not Ground Zero specifically.

Soon after, many residents went back to their homes without properly cleaning them, they later reported.

"She caused thousands of residents, workers and first responders to suffer injury and, in some cases, death, due to unnecessary exposure to toxins released by the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who held hearings on the federal government's management of the crisis at which Whitman testified.

The EPA's inspector general criticized the agency's handling of the crisis in a 2003 report, which found that the EPA had no basis for its pronouncements about air quality.

In February 2006, U.S. District Judge Deborah A. Batts allowed the lawsuit against Whitman to proceed and called Whitman's actions "conscience-shocking."

"No reasonable person would have thought that telling thousands of people that it was safe to return to Lower Manhattan, while knowing that such return could pose long-term health risks and other dire consequences, was conduct sanctioned by our laws," she wrote.

Activist residents said they were upset with Tuesday's decision.

"The judgment today seems like carte blanche to allow government environmental officials to put people in harm's way with little or no accountability," said Craig Hall, 39, president of the World Trade Center Residents Coalition, whose members said their children suffered coughs, eye irritations and nosebleeds after the attacks.

Pennsylvania & the Persistence of the Race Chasm

A few weeks ago, I published an article in In These Times showing how Hillary Clinton has been winning states almost exclusively in the Race Chasm - states whose populations are more than 6 percent but less than 17 percent black. The results of the Democratic primary in Pennsylvania - a state whose demographics fall squarely in the Race Chasm - continue the trend.

I have hypothesized that the Race Chasm exists because of racial politics. Specifically, in states where there is almost no black population, black-white racial politics has little traction because it isn't part of the political dialect. In states where there is a very large black population, the black vote can offset a racially motivated white vote. But in the Race Chasm, the black vote is too small to offset a racially motivated white vote.

So how prevalent was race as a factor in voting in Pennsylvania? The exit polls suggest that when Gov. Ed Rendell previously said race would be a huge factor, he was absolutely correct. Specifically, page 4 and 5 of the CNN exit poll show a whopping 19 percent of Pennsylvania voters said race was an important factor in their vote, with Clinton winning almost 60 percent of that segment. Broken down further, 13 percent of the white vote said race was a major factor in their vote, with Clinton winning 75 percent of that group.

These are big numbers, especially considering the fact that these numbers only represent voters who are willing to admit to pollsters they are voting on race. The real number is probably much higher, because some voters may not want to disclose such taboo voting habits.

Let me reiterate something I wrote in my original Race Chasm analysis:

Clearly, race is not the only force moving votes. Demographic groups -- white, black or any other -- do not vote as monoliths. Additionally, the Race Chasm does not mean every white voter who votes against Obama nor every black voter who supports Obama is racially motivated.

However, considering the exit polling and the fact that Pennsylvania falls squarely in the demographic Race Chasm, it is clear that those who continue to pretend race is not a major factor in this campaign are deliberately averting their eyes from a very powerful force in the Democratic primary.

UPDATE: I should have added this into the original article. Some folks say that even discussing the Race Chasm is good or bad for one or another of the candidates in the primary or general election. That may or may not be true - but I don't really care. Political junkies tend to forget that the whole world does not revolve around the next election - and that yes - I know it's hard for some people to fathom - but some issues like racism are much bigger and more important than whatever election cycle we may be in. Racism is something that has been a part of American life for, oh, two centuries. If this presidential race is becoming a vehicle to talk about and confront and expose that racism, then that's a good thing - regardless of whichever candidates some think it may help or hurt.

good discussion about the primary last night....refreshing after listening to the bobble heads....

Jeff Cohen, author (c) 2006

Jeff Cohen Writes:

In the 1960s , while an editorial writes for a St. Louis daily, Buchanan was one of many of the journalists complicit in the FBI campaign to "neutralize" Martin Luther King Jr. Buchanan admits to publishing unverified FBI smear material on King as editorials. On a syndicated TV show in 1988, I confronted Buchanan-comparing him to a "hack writer from Pravda taking information from the KGB and using it against a Soviet dissident". I accused him of being a "state propagandist." But he was unapologetic.

Cohen Writes:

As Crossfire was fading right winger Joe Scarborough started hosting a show at MSNBC; he says a network executive told him, "if you let someone talk more than seven minutes your show is a failure."

Thanks

John McCain knows a lot less about foreign policy than he'd have us believe. This, anyway, is the impression that's been growing in recent weeks, not least because of a much-discussed New York Times story published recently that painted a growing divide in his campaign between "pragmatists" and "neoconservatives." The candidate reportedly lacks firm ideological convictions, so a battle for "McCain's soul" may be in the offing. - LA Times

...I haven't seen that one. Or Andrew Shepard, will look out for them. I always liked Dave from the movie Dave, with Kevin Klein for a movie president.

And as if James Spader wasn't scrumptious enough...I just LOVE watching him spit and hiss at the court...

Have a good one, All! :)

A number of years ago I had a root canal and after one of the stages, I was in great pain so I was trying to weasel something stronger from the dentist. When I called him, he asked me if I was taking Tylenol for the pain. I told him that I had taken aspirin and he said, no, it has to be tylenol, that is the only thing that works. I did and it did.

PA had a race-chasm?

Mire, I loved the pix but makes me sad I am not joining my friends down there tomorrow. I need a bbq shrimp po-boy and a visit to Brightsen's. Be nice to see Snooks again, too.

The Contender is a great movie

bullshit!!!!hahaha--vicodin is the bomb!!

on the right, and I found it strange. That's probably not accurate because there were only a handful of names there which was unusual. Anyway I was asking assistance with a get-well wishes card to send through email to a co-worker and the googles and yahoos all charge subscriptions to copy the cute animated ones. I think I will go with Crank's suggestion :)

my favorite is the oyster; jazz festival is expensive though (the food) for a local person, I can get the same stuff elsewhere cheaper but of course, the music...the allure of which was a little lost on me thous after failed relationships with various local musicians...

does the trick, cures pain even when you don't have any pain if you know what i mean

Highly recommended.

The trouble is, Obama can't change the fact that he's got Rev. Wright, Ayers, Rezko, and his ostracizing of Reagan democrats by belittling why they've got guns and believe in God. He's going to have a hard time shaking the "elitist" label.

be careful there. vicodin is hydrocodone (the good stuff) compounded with a variation of acetaminophen (which raises the effectiveness). unfortuneately, acetaminophen's action comes from a nasty reaction with your liver which is why the dosage is so important and why you never take it for a hangover.

Judge Rejects Bush Administration's 'State Secrets' Claim; Says FBI and Department of Homeland Security Must Reveal 'Watchlist' Status for Americans Seeking End to Unnecessary, Unlawful Border Stops

CHICAGO, April 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a case challenging
repeated, lengthy and abusive border stops of American citizens upon their return to the United States after traveling abroad, a federal magistrate judge in Chicago has ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to disclose to the named plaintiffs whether or not their names appear on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB). In making his ruling, U.S. Magistrate Judge Sidney Schenkier rejected the Bush Administration's assertion of a "state secrets"privilege. Under the order made public for the first time last week, the government must produce documents indicating whether the ten named plaintiffs in the case, including lead plaintiff Akif Rahman of suburban Chicago, are listed on the TSDB.

Question: What actions are being taken in response to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that requires fill of the SPR to its authorized size of one billion barrels?

On January 23, 2007, the President announced in the State of the Union Address, his decision to expand the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to 1.5 billion barrels "to further protect America against disruptions to our oil supply." The Nation's need for the further expansion of the SPR is based on (a) growing U.S. consumption, increased imports and ever greater international risks, and (b) U.S. obligations under the International Energy Program, which requires the U.S. to maintain a 90 day stockpile of petroleum imports.

Times columnist pied in face by activist

A female audience member ran on stage last night and threw a green pie at New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, who had just begun a lecture on environmentalism in Salomon 101. The woman had been sitting in the south side of the auditorium's front row when she pulled the pie out of a Brown Bookstore plastic bag that had been tucked in a red backpack and leapt out of her seat.

At the same time the woman threw the pie, a male accomplice seated a few rows back ran down the aisle and onto the stage, throwing small pamphlets explaining the actions into the crowd.

After the pie hit Friedman and splattered on his face and torso, the two jumped offstage and ran out of the southeast exit of the building, followed closely by a man trying to catch them. A police officer also ran toward the exit but stayed inside.

The thrower was eventually caught by police, who detained her in Salomon's lobby before moving her elsewhere.

"One of the offenders was apprehended, placed in the custody of the Brown Department of Public Safety and identified as a Brown student," University spokesman Michael Chapman said in a statement released Tuesday night. "The University will review this incident through its non-academic disciplinary system to determine the appropriate response."

"So Hillary drained her savings account and wasted six weeks to gain six electors. That’s one elector a week, for those of you without calculators.

At this rate, she’ll catch up with Obama about halfway through his first term.

Meanwhile, Obama has $43 million in the bank. And I helped!

Give it up, girlfriend. It’s over. There aren’t enough old people or Catholics in Indiana to save your campaign. And you can’t win NC.

Do us all a favor and throw in the towel."

yup am a grave stone!

Carter denies State Dept. told him to shun Hamas

By Matthew Bigg

ATLANTA, April 23 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter denied on Wednesday that the State Department warned him not to meet with leaders of the Islamist group Hamas before he made a recent trip to the Middle East.

Carter said Hamas' top official Khaled Meshaal told him during meetings in Damascus on Friday and Saturday that Hamas would "accept a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders if approved by Palestinians."

The United States brushed off the comments on Monday, arguing that Hamas' basic stance, which includes a call in its charter for the destruction of Israel, had not changed.

The State Department has said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State David Welch, the top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, urged Carter not to meet with Hamas, a position restated by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, but Carter denied this.

"No one in the State Department or any other department of the U.S. government ever asked him (Carter) to refrain from his recent visit to the Middle East or even suggested that he not meet with Syrian President (Bashar) Assad or leaders of Hamas," said a statement released by the Atlanta-based Carter Center, which speaks on the former president's behalf.

Rice at fresh peak on supply fear
[...]
Perfect storm

The international price of rice - a staple food for half the world - has risen about 68% since the beginning of the year.

The prices of soybeans, corn and wheat have also been marching higher and are currently near their all-time peaks.

A combination of high fuel costs, bad weather and land allocated to biofuels is constraining food supply. At the same time, producer countries are seeking to conserve food for their own people by curtailing exports.

But Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej said Thailand would continue to be known as the "world's kitchen", as the government considers using abandoned government land to increase agricultural output.

Thailand's Office of Agriculture Economics projected that rice production after milling would be 20.4 million tonnes from this year's crop, with 55% for domestic consumption and the remainder for export.

Thailand produced 19.6 million tonnes last year.

mire, I went to my 1st JF in 1984. Very different from today. I don't eat anything there except for the softshell crab po-boy and the key lime tart. Sometimes the raw oysters in the grandstand since they are pretty much regular price. JF is expensive now though, agreed. Honestly, when I come down there for now during JF, it is mostly to see friends and eat and go out at night. I usually only go to the fairgrounds when my friends' band plays out there and we have the parking and the access and the free tix. You've gotta watch out for those musicians. Hope it was no one I know.

The aforementioned bbq po-boy of choice is at Pascal's Manale. Not cheap but worth the splurge and cheaper than eating in the restaurant. Brigtsen's is not cheap but they are friends and treat me like family. I like Casamento's and Domilisi's, too.

I don't like vic. Prefer Norco. More 'codin, less tylenol. I'd rather take aspirin with codeine than tylenol 3. They have it but you have to specify to your doctor.

mm i can tell someone is feeling better this a.m.

Turkey's prime minister has told Syrian President Bashar Assad that Israel would withdraw from the Golan Heights in return for peace, reports say.

The al-Watan newspaper quoted "informed sources" as saying Recep Tayyip Erdogan had telephoned Mr Assad on Tuesday morning to inform him of the offer.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has declined to comment.

Israel and Syria remain technically at war although both sides have recently spoken of their desire for peace.

The Syrian government has insisted that peace talks can be resumed only on the basis of Israel returning the Golan Heights, which it seized in 1967.
[...]
A Syrian television station and the news agency Champress also carried similar reports about Mr Erdogan and the reported offer by Israel. The Syrian media is highly controlled and often reflects the official line.

Mr Erdogan is due to visit the Syrian capital, Damascus, this weekend to attend the opening of the first Syrian-Turkish economic forum.

Mr Olmert's office did not deny the Syrian reports, choosing only to state that they "refuse to comment on the matter".
[...]
'Expectations'

On Thursday, Mr Olmert told Israel's Channel 10 television that he was interested in peace with Syria, and that both sides knew what the other wanted.

"Very clearly we want peace with the Syrians and we are taking all manner of actions to this end," he said. "President Bashar al-Assad knows precisely what our expectations are and we know his. I won't say more."

I see, that after we marry, we will be starting out with a BIG family.

The more the merrier!

Everyone in the POOL!

after all the food talk i need to eat something!

talk radio...i got too used to Thom at lunch time!!

how do you get used to eating the shells?

"I am in this race to fight for every one who has been counted out," Clinton said, striking the underdog theme. Early in her remarks, while live on national television, she asked for donations, saying, "The fate of this campaign is in your hands." (In other words, send me more money you cheap bastards because in case you didn't know my campaign is broke!)

Meanwhile, Sen. Obama, speaking at a rally in Evansville, Indiana, congratulated Clinton and thanked supporter, including new voters and people who returned to voting after many years. He then returned to his main theme in the final days of the Pennsylvania race: that he wants to change Washington, for both Republicans and Democrats, so Americans can have a government that is responsive to real public needs.

"We believe that the challenges we face are bigger than the smallness of our politics and we know that this election is our chance to change it," Obama said. "The question is not whether the other party will bring change to Washington, but will we ... because the truth is the challenges we face are not just the fault of one man or one party."

Summing up, Obama implicitly criticized the heavily negative tactics of the just-finished Pennsylvania contest, where most outside observers -- including Wednesday's editorial in The New York Times -- said Clinton was to blame for throwing the most political mud.

Ya eat the whole thing although I have been with several people who have tried to peel them or remove the legs. More for me! And their season starts around my birthday.

...Maybe Hillary can inquire about this at the next "Family" service:

A Message from Edwin Meese III of the National Conservative Campaign Fund...

Imagine for a moment it's January 2009. The election campaigns are over and the winners are poised to take office. Will one of them be President Barack Obama? Or will it be another Clinton - President Hillary Rodham Clinton? Imagine further that the liberal Democrats have increased their grip on Congress.

My friend, if that happens, prepare yourself for the greatest onslaught of ultra-liberal legislation and programs in our lifetimes, which will affect you, your family, and everyone you care about.

"President" Obama said he stands for "change we can believe in." But what he really believes in is Big Government, and plenty of it. His agenda will expand government's size - and its appetite for your tax dollars - on a scale we can scarcely fathom.

"President" Hillary Rodham Clinton said she has "solutions for America." But you and I both know that, just like Barack Obama, her so-called solutions actually are all about growing government more than ever before - at the expense of our freedoms!

(eat the shells)

thats what i thought, and thats what i tried to do, but the shell didn't add to the enjoyment. maybe its all in how they get fixed.

when is that?

The dirty little secret is that Obama can't win and Clinton can't win. Neither can get enough elected delegates or votes to win the nomination. Obama or Clinton can only win by being given the nomination by some 400+ remaining undecided, unelected super-delegates. This is the mess the Democrat Party has made for itself. Why should Hillary give it up? She's got just as much of a chance to win the nomination as Obama does. It's amazing. The votes don't matter. All the state primaries don't matter. The only thing that matters is what the super-delegates and party bosses decide to do. How's that for disenfranchising the voters. Looks like the Democrats have elevated voter disenfranchisment to an art.
