Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

Woo hoo for me?

I'm sure the former President is much more relaxed in his speaking style now that the pressure's off. We aren't worried about his faux poo's reflecting on our national image, and neither is he.

At least he doesn't drone his speech off the paper like Cheney does. You'd think our former VP would show more confidence in speaking since he's so big on fearlessness.

Pogo... I didn't start watching basketball until after Xmas last season.... I watched that game last night.... couldn't wait for the season to start.... guess that now makes me a confirmed basketball fan..... :0)

the first hour of Diane Rehm this morning was very interesting.... it consisted of a panel of conservative/Republicans talking about the upcoming elections next week.... their prediction is it would be a split and that you couldn't necessarily read anything into that.... And they said that the Republican party sorely needed to go back to it's conservative roots aka Goldwater.... they all agreed that independents are leaving the Democratic camp at the moment, but they were still not enamored with what current Republicans stood for.... which they said was basically only to win elections and nothing else....

Like I said, W still has followers in this area. Cheney is trying to catch people with his vinegar; Bush is trying the honey approach.

re: previous thread--Sturgeone 9:26 AM

Thank you for that link. I often think that the person afflicted with Alzheimers copes far better than the people who love them.STILL ALICE is a wonderful work of fiction by Lisa Genova who holds a Ph.D in neuroscience from Harvard.Won the 2008 Bronte Prize.The book has received accolades from many who work in this field. It is also a great read.

This little Bush/Cheney tour is nothing compared to what Scary Palin has scheduled? I hope Oprah gives her enough room to show the still-clueless the real Scary. Barring that, I hope she quits half way through the tour. Health care? The economy? The wars? It's all going to be page 5 news the next few weeks.

Hmm. A freudian "?" Is Bush/Cheney really nothing?

ubns....
I am reading "Still Alice" now for a book club meeting next Wednesday. I'll give it very high marks for it's subject matter and the scientific information it relays....
but as a work of fiction.... it leaves a lot to be desired, IMO.

On the bright side of things, NASA launched a new bird. It is the worlds biggest Rocket. Now watch under-funding end manned space fight.

Did I say the bright side?

Bitter and Sweet. Yep, that seems the approach. Obama just should focus on what parts Cheney gets right. Bad results are the killer of legacy.

Ask Cheney. He's still trying to patch his up. I think his bitterness started under Nixon. Imagine what SNL could do with a live Cheney.

Cheney takes:

Pre act From an undisclosed location Cheney interupts Obama TV press conference. proclaiming his patriotic and necessary coup of Obama, "Live from in New York"

Act one Cheney discussions about torture with demonstrations of possibilities.

Act two Cheney and Palin at dinner (guest spot Fey)

Act three News Update Cheney offers rebutals to lead stories

Act four Cheney and the guy who impersonates Cheney.

Cheney (staring at himself in the mirror), "I wonder if I was wrong about the game plan in Iraq"

Mirror Cheney (looking back), " Are you Friggin kidding me?"

Act five Cheney goes hunting

Act six Bush and Cheney talk about life after office (Guest spot with Farrel)

Hey Max. Grenada is on this list...they don't spend one dime on defense...lets go bomb them again......we need to get out, and take all of our money with us....no money= peace....same goes for the Israli-Palestinian area...we don't need to keep giving billions to other countries while we go hungry........

First Solar, the US maintains peace through some of our deployments. Our bases which eventually thwarted Japan as well as our global reach provides much of the critical enforcement the rest of the world enjoys. See the NYT on the easy ride China and Russia get on the back of US taxpayers. The same article puts forward a decent Liberal arguement for withdrawal.

If our security is preserved in this multipolar world by superior military force and that the high ground will be won with the most advanced hardware and organization, why is this outlay, providing a good chunk of American jobs, so bad?

We spend what the rest does collectively to provide superior force, stability and a credible threat which has provided several decades of Liberal Democratic victory and peace. More countries have become free since our leadership than during any other period of civilization.

I suppose our expenditures involves giving out cash to the Awakening and the Taliban. It incudes serious cutting edge grails as well as theater protectin against increasing threats. If we are to fight hand-cuffed and with only the lowest of fatalities, our military will indeed become expensive.

As far as leaving the world to itself in resolving conflict, I wouldn't bet the house on that. Recently the Fed caught two in Chicago men plotting terrorist acts against the Danes. They were afilliated to the Muslim Brotherhood. This exposes a number of critical security issues and brings up the whole charity/ISM crowd which is big in Chicago and made famous at Trinity. It won't take much to anger the American people. Any retreat will be spun as inviting terror. Obama is on a difficult ice floor with trouble going on in the military relationship as well as CIA. I suggest the picture is a big one and your focus on out lays and let's just get out, doesn't get you to a good big picture even if the synopsis sounds good.

RR-
re: "Still Alice"

I wasn't comparing the book to "Wuthering Heights" or "Midnight's Children"--just pointing out that it was fiction and that it's a great book (for the reasons you stated) There's something comforting about lifting the veil and Genova has done this in a special way.

The British, fighting the Huks in the '50s, figured that it takes a ratio of 10 soldiers to 1 guerilla, to beat an insurgency. Of course, that number can vary with the quality of the leadership, weaponry,logistics, communications, and the relative popularity with general both sides, and with terrain and cover.
Considering our advantages in firepower, lift, & remote sensing, and our disadvantages in language and ethnic hostility, 12/1 seems a fairly reasonable ratio for getting the job done, if the leadership is sensible.

We need community development people to arrive with education opportunities as each village is retaken, because most people want their kids to go to school and enjoy better lives. One of the taliban's attractions is the schooling of boys, in areas where there were no teachers or schools. We need to do the same, but better.

Max,

Are all terrorist group our enemies??

We also need a crash change of our energy source, from oil-based to hybrids, both plug-in and E85 for transport, and solar, wind, and hydro for our other power needs. As oil is fungible, every penny we spend on it enriches those who finance terrorism.

It doesn't take a genius to understand that chavez, achmedinajad, & osama bin ladin all get their bread, butter, and ammo from the same source. If you want these people to wither and die, stop feeding them.

Champ, you can sit in the corner with your stew, we're having Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches tonite. Yum!

btw, you prefer Am., Provolone or CWhiz?

White American; Provolone would be blaspehemous. Stopped eating them a few years ago, though, but enjoy yours. Phils are going to turn the Spankees into Cheez-Whiz.

...and don't forget to wrap them in foil and let them sit for a few minutes to equalize... very important.

Like I said: If there is a 12 to one ratio now..it is not enough.!!

We just had the worst months there so far no?

Southern Afhan. 8 soldiers killed...by IED attacks, Oct. surpassed Sept, which was around 51 troops, this month around 60 and counting. With winter coming on, it will make roads impassable. With Obamas troop escalation next year....it promises to be a very deadly year no?

How come there is very little coverage about all of this....explain to me... how we can afford to do so much..and still some people want to go after Iran...why didn't we do this in the first place....Their fkn OIL is the goal...and one of the reasons that we are in the pak area...will make it easier to drill for our greedy pig corps...so I do agree with your 258 post.

A Great Idea for the 3d Millenium : Stop Arming Bad Guys.

As CIA director, broccoli bush recruited, paid, and protected manuel noriega.

As Veep-In-Charge-of=Intelligence, broccoli oversaw bill casey''s and ali north's sales of sophisticated weapons to the ayatollah.

As Veep-In-Charge-of-Intelligence, broccoli oversaw the befriending of murderous Iraqi dictator saddam hussein, and recommended that President reagan sell chemical warfare materials and other weaponry to him.

As Veep-in-charge-of-Intelligence, broccoli recruited osama bin ladin's alqaeda, and the taliban against the strongly worded advice of our allies, the Northern Alliance. broccoli saw to it that alqaeda and the taliban were well trained and well armed.

Obviously, we can't afford to haveany more fools running our intelligence agencies

DarkLord,

I hope your wrong about those Phillies.

I pulled for them last year in memory of a good friend and tough old Marine, who died during the '08 season, and we toasted to his memory when they won.

I'll raise a glass to him again before the first pitch, whichever night it's finally thrown, but his guys are playing my team now, so I'm hoping that wherever he is, he'll be happy with his team finishing a strong second to the Yanks.

XR,

A 100% fine post, that you 3:34 is: These are the comments that I make to some of my Bush loving family....now I can say them better, cos I hate boiled broccoli, I hate boiled anything...specially a boiled Bush broccoli.. Hey are you going to put on a cape Saturday: to go along with you long fangs....

Solar,

The Iran hawks don't want oil. The republican's job has been to prevent the pumping of Mid East oil, to get the price up. Texas Oil Billionaires don't want oil. They have oil. They just want a higher price for their oil.

This is nothing new. john d. rockefeller blew up competitors' equipment to prevent them from selling, thus making his product MUCH more expensive.

The secondary benefits to making war in Iraq would be the boost to weapons sales and to 'support' and death squad corporations like xe, kbr, and that Arab company, halliburton.

Sorry, Ed... the only trophy A-Rod will be kissing this week is Kate Hudson. Phils!

Solar,

I'm going out as a tired, sick, old, man. I consider make-up and fashions to be unmanly.

Take that, mel gibson !

For the sake of accuracy, I think you meant the Mau Mau, not the Huks.

Helping the British in Kenya were the European settlers; they were easy to identify and were universally supportive of the British.

Robert Ruark's novel, Something of Value, was powerful in its depiction of the violence of the revolution.

We're gonna have a very unhappy faux lord on our hands in a few games.

I won't be so chipper, myself.

Well, at least it won't be St. Paul's 'chicago white sox' v the hated brewers. That would be the World Serious from Hell.

Kate's not bad as second place trophy, but I'm still hoping for a win.

A-Rod did his job helping them get this far. Now, we just need to put something in the water that will make the Phils field and run the bases the way the Twins and Angels did.

XR,

I agree with all that you said, and it is a game of keep away from China, Venzula, and Russia..so I do think that they want the oil, and don't forget to mention the Sen Fienstien's defense contractor corp when ever you mention all of the others.....Im so pissed at my self...b/c I liked her very much.!! Im going to dress up as the big bad ass wolf..haha Wolf's or is it wolves?...wolves and witches...warlocks...all wicked fun...

In Afghanistan, Obama has already thrown in more troops and will probably be goaded by the military and conservatives into further escalation. ...This despite a timeline that appears to indicate that the insurgency grows as a reaction to increased foreign presence in the country. Up until 2005, U.S....

forces were stationed mainly in Kabul, and the Taliban presence in Afghanistan was minimal. During 2005, U.S. forces moved out into the rest of the country; strangely (or not so strangely huh?) the Taliban resurgence began in 2006. In other words, escalating the number of U.S. forces has the counterproductive effect of escalating the conflict.

We m ake more , and more people in that area insurgents, terrorist, so we can have more, and m ore people to fight..and the more there are people to fight..the more that the defense contractors make....and we are very patriotic about it all. It;s our duty to have 800 bases around the world..we can't just have the few that we need for our well being , and take care of our economic situation at home....thanks XR, I learned something today again .... later

warning warning Big ass typo at the end of the first paragraph.

The town was not Dallas but a town some 35 miles to the west called Fort Worth. I know because I live here. People in Fort Worth are loathe to spend money in Dallas much less let them take even someone like Bush's first speech. BTW, I heard he got nearly $100,000 for the speech. The press was not allowed in but rumors have surfaced that the speech wasn't all that good. just saying!

Right again, Mr. Flatus. The Huks were Philppino commies. Sorry.

I had in mind the commie rebellion in Malaya from 1948 - 1960, although it was pretty well isolated by 1955. There were small unit firefights in this uprising. The Brits used 250,000 Malayan troops, brought in a maximum of 40,000 British troops at any given time.

The Mau Mau rose up in 1952, following decades of displacement from their traditiona lands. After suffering humiliation and starvation they organized, and struck back in non-violent protest at the beginning. As far as I know, the Mau Mau never employed small unit operations, prefering to assassinate or burn out Colonials one at a time, or to call strikes. The Mau Mau were fought by policing by Masai scouts and tracking dogs, infiltration, and by giving consessions tht led to independence. Although UK troops arrived, there were never more than 10,000 in Kenya at any one time. Compared to the Malaya Emergency, the Mau Mau uprising was tiny potatoes.

Go as a flower child.

GRRRRRRRRRRR......breath....GRRREEEEATT.

The prostitute is IDed as an employee of a strip joint. If cops in devout Christian Columbus, SC know that the strip joint rents sex, why don't they arrest the owners, managers, and bookkeeper for pimping, sieze all the papers, and close the place down as a probable vector for AIDs, and a suspected trafficker ?

What's the beef for johnning in SC ? Will this republican chancre even lose his license ?

Where are all those Sudden Baptists and their much-advertised sexual morality ?

For Mx's costume, he could need a helmet, riding boots & breeches, a crop, and a chest full of medals. Could he borrow the one's you wore in the war ?

Too bad about palin. Lately, I 've been hoping for an all gal type republican ticket in 2012 : sarah palin and michele bachmann. Together, they could be so pro-freeness, y'know ? It gives me gander bumps just thinking about it.

2 Quick Frozen Brains from the Far North. As a Certified Northie, I kinds like it. I mean, why should Dixie get all the superskrooballs ? Forget about okra and chittlins. Think rutabagas with lewd fisk.

michele is even more of a fashion plate than Mrs quayle, Esquire was. The goopers would have to invest a lot more money in the palin wardrobe than they have heretofore, if sarah were to look like the top of the ticket. That is, if she were the top of that ticket.

Oh and ALL terror groups are the enemy of Liberal Democracy. Does that answer your question Solar. I wouldn't say that blowing up Quds is necessarily a terrorist act. Killing terrorists is not terror. And no foul was commited in Detroit except allowing these groups and charities connect to terror to flourish.

People (and goopers, too) were never much into klan in MN. You may be thinking of Wisconsin.

We were more concerned to make certain that people didn't get in the way of the systems and corporations. People were created to make the system work, y'know. When I left, the party had not yet been conquered and run under the yoke by the forces of Foetalatry.

We republicans tough on crime, unless we needed to excuse a republican child molester, like med lafond, or...can't remember the guy's name... a middle-aged white guy, who like 8 - 10 year old black boys.... If the name comes to me, I'll let you know. Ya, we were the lawn ordure folks.

Mr. Sturgeone,

Do you want ipecac or syrup of squill ?

I done read about that ipecac in a book called Dirty Tricks.......a little mug of squill might be in order but I'll have to google it......

is squill anything like Cane Patch syrup?

anybody besides me ever heard the story Don Adams told Dick Cavett about being starving as a comic in nyc and suddenly getting a job with Mae West and she insisted on seeing his act in the dressing room and wound up making him take out all the punch lines.......?

Squill is an onion.

What's Cane Patch syrup - cane juice ?

2 hour show at the Latin Quarter in Boston.......all the variety acts had the first hour and Mae had the 2nd hour......Mary and her monkey, Betty and her bird, and the comic, Don Adams..... the comic had nine minutes in the first hour........2 shows a night.....with no punch lines, she made him delete all his punch lines..........and right before he came on this announcement: "Ladies and Gentlemen.....there will be no serving of food or drinks while Ms West is on, so if you want to order, please do so before the second half of the show.......And Now.... a new young comedian......Don Adams".

Cane Patch syrup (35% cane syrup) is the best damn syrup there is..........except for real maple syrup.......I always thought it was a southern product cause we had it from as long as i can remember, but it seems to be distributed from wisconsin.......

it's right up there with Alaga which i dont see anymore......(Ala-ga)

We had one of those kids watch rape incidents in one of the public schools here about 1952. As a result, we moved so that my sister wouldn't have to attend that school.

There was a non-rape public performance in another public school here about 13 years later.

Anyway, the worst thing my sister encountered when she finally went to high school was the male clique who brought a vodka-filled watermelon to lunch.

I went to an all guy military academy, and the experience stunted my education.

Abortion is legal in the US and a proper medical procedure.
Why wouldn't all insurance cover it. Just as it should cover birth control. This conversation about whether this would constitute publicly funded abortion. So frickin what.

Hmmm. MN and ND grow a couple bazillion tons of sugar beets. Maybe the badgers learned how to make money off of our crop.

MN and WI are LIBERALLY endowed with maple trees, and we are awash in the syrup. We also have a cousin the box elder tree, that also yields 'maple syrup'.

it all seemed to boil down back then to making sure whose kid was whose.

Ms Cracker,

Doesn't our military provide publicly funded abortions ?

And, not just through our scattering of land mines in places where pregnant women might walk.

I also did 4 yrs in the ecole militaire.......what i learned best was how to battle my parents to a standstill about whether i had to remain there......after a year of vicious conflict I emerged victorious.....but youre right about the hitch in that educational gitalong......

kgc, but the little blue pills are covered. where is the fair-ness and balance-ness?

nothing is quite capable of providing the quality education one may receive from girls........especially in the early mid and late sixties.......

If they couldn't abort ya in old greece, they'd just leave your little newborn butt out on the side of a mountain and be done with it.......

As a matter of fact, I'm in my early sixties....

I was already very well along in 8th grade, when suddenly my parents grew alarmed at my overly cozy relationship with a certain petite, insistent, black-haired, blue-eyed, freckle-faced gal. they tossed me into durance vile from 9th grade until graduation. It set my spawning back a bit. However, in the winter of my junior year, I was right back where I longed to be, at least, I was after school.

Good evening folks. I got on a jury and expect to be doing my civic duty through most of next week.

In case you need to do a little Venn-ting...

http://www.despair.com/somevedi.html

Ivy, Venn was before his time.

From Rex v The Headmaster of Eton :
Constable Boot: "On the 5th of this month, acting under instructions, I proceeded with a specisl warrant to the premises known as Eton College and made a thorough search of the same. I found asnd seized there a number of books which in my opinion were of an obscene character."....

....The Chairman [of the tribunal] said, "This is a very painful case. During our absence we have perused, with growing interest and disgust, a number of passages in the books complained of, and in particular a book called The Classical Dictionary, which is written in English. Many of the books are written in a foreign language with which we are not acquainted; some of these are accompanied by English translations, and some are not; but from the character of the former we are entitled to form certain conclusions as to the character of those volumes which no one yet has been bold enough to put into English."....

Sturge, Flatus

Maybe South Carolina needs to pay the help more. That way they can afford to get a room.

Jack

Jack, don't need no damned room--got the Appalachian Trail and the Elmwood Cemetery.

The Chairman [of the Tribunal] : "...Lord Cockburn in the case of R. v. Hicklin was as follows : 'I think the test...is whether the tendency of the matter charged as obscenity is to deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences and into whose hands a publication of this sort may fall.'

"... and if it were hawked in the street for twopence might properly be condemned under the Act, but not if iyt were sold at a high price by reputable booksellers, in which case it would be most unlikely to fall into the hands of young persons."1

[IOW, if the item is expensive enough, it cannot be obscene]

1 See Chief Constable of Burbleton v. Woolworth (1929) in which defendants published a sixpenny edition of the Plays of Shakespeare. The magistrates ordered it to be destroyed.

All of the above is from the book, Uncommon Law, by A. P. Herbert, 1935, Methuen, UK.

It is a collection of 66 misleading cases.

So, if this SC rapeublican is smart, his sex toys were in an antique creweled linen bag from the time and place of, and in the style of, the Bayeaux Tapestry or the Shroud of Turin, and thus, according to the decision of Lord Cockburn, not obscene.
