So yesterday Cox broadcast a debate between a libertarian candidate for congress and Beth Krom. Krom explicitly demonstrated that she's a nanny-state socialist. The government is the source of all good. Those distrustful of State should not run for office. She knows best. Krom is the mousy nanny-state fascist that we've been expecting. Looking and playing the part. She should find something else to do now that the nest is empty. And stop giving Taiwan to China; they will take it soon enough, along with half the IC making capacity of the world. Ha ha ha amerika.

WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) -- The youngest child of reggae legend Bob Marley will spend seven years on probation for growing marijuana in her Philadelphia-area home.
A Chester County judge offered 29-year-old Makeda Jahnesta Marley a choice: a shorter prison term or a long stint on probation. She opted for the latter and risks being jailed if she violates her probation terms.
Marley was arrested in 2008 after police say they found her removing plants from her basement when officers arrived on a domestic-dispute call. She pleaded guilty in September.
Marley's probation calls for her to undergo random drug tests and stay away from drug users.
Her attorney, Thomas Schindler, tells the West Chester Daily Local News that won't be a problem. He called growing marijuana an "aberration.

Its founder, Julian Assange, in answer to questions about the operation of his organization, reportedly told a reporter, "I'm too busy ending two wars."

I read this kind of quote recently and it hit me today. To think that one can make a difference is so detached its delusional.

Assange (like bin Laden) overestimates American intelligence and empathy. Perhaps he, like bin Laden, think that in a "democracy" (tm) we can actually do something about USG foreign policy. bin Laden exhorts Americans as if they could listen and reason about what he says. So does Assange in a way.

Holy crap. Neither Assange nor bin Laden realize that 1. democracy does not mean we can control the mil-industrial complex 2. half of Americans are below average intelligence 3. Many of those in the first sigma on the higher side of the mean are just as tribethink as the rest.

Both JA and UBL overestimate the US. In ways that just salt the wounds.
If our Chinese owners could send us back, they would.

Assange is a hero, but he makes the mistake UBL does: he assumes he's dealing with reasonable adults when dealing with the US.
Drove to the dispensary, picked up some finer quality meds than normal, its Red Ribbon Week so why not splurge on some of Marley's Lamb's Bread (tm) strain?

Then drove to check out the jolly green giant. http://www.ocregister.com/news/buddha-272485-jade-peace.html

The jade buddha looks Persian to me, its the nose. Of course, its hilarious how the buddha is represented. Its sometimes how chinese would see a curly haired person. Sometimes the buddha looks like he's one of the locals. Or half alien and half local.

A decomposed body found at a Buddhist worship center is believed to be a nun who hasn't been seen since May, Orange County sheriff's officials said.

No one from the worship center filed a missing persons report for the woman. "They believed that she just left, but her personal belongings were still at the temple.

While the worker found the body about 3 p.m., sheriff's officials weren't notified until about 7 p.m. Thursday.

Atika Shubert, how many times do you need to be warned? You contaminate a legit interview about war and continue the smear campaign. Do you really think yourself a journalist?


Ex-NPR analyst Juan Williams said Sunday that his firing over a comment about nappy-headed Muslims amounts to "censorship," (although NPR is not a governmental agency) adding that it was "despicable" for an NPR executive to later suggest he was "unstable."

Williams was fired as a news analyst for the public radio network after saying on Fox News that he gets nervous when he sees nappy-headed passengers in Muslim clothing on a plane. "A ho in a veil, no way, show some tail!" The incident sparked a national controversy over free speech and political correctness.

WL is a publications site, not a whistle-blowing site; it aids whistle-blowers. It does this by providing a means for anonymous online submission (something that's always been possible via snail mail).

WL also attempts to be a robust publisher, resistant to say government attacks. More resistant than say the NYT.

Compared to Cryptome.org, you don't have to work as hard to submit anonymously to WL. And Cryptome.org's servers are not physically distributed, though it has been robust to attacks, and its data is widely replicated and restorable. Its the same idea.

And there's always P2P seeding of documents one wishes to publish via cafes with disposable WiFi cards.

So, WL is just the evolution of the printing press and the postal service. Allowing whoever wants to post irretrievably, anonymously.

Deal with it.

How does the FDA regulate execution drugs for safety and efficacy?





If Arizona obtained the drug from an overseas supplier, they argue, it may be substandard and violate Food and Drug Administration rules for importation.

Kent Scheidegger, legal director for the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, a group that supports the death penalty, said that arguing over the safety of a drug for executions is “absurd.”

“As long as it’s a real drug manufacturer and not mixed up in somebody’s garage, it doesn’t matter where it came from,” Mr. Scheidegger said. While the Food and Drug Administration is supposed to determine whether drugs are safe and effective, he said, “in this case, safe and effective are opposites.”

When I was a kid, I went to a private Anglican-Catholic merged school. The Anglicans were boys, the Caths were girls, I think. Sacred Heart (whose logo looks like a UXO logo, flaming heart and all, plus thistle crown). At the time the school had a lot of South American girls, no doubt drug trade.
They all wore wool skirts with a certain plaid. Albany, NY.

One day, a girl with braces stopped showing up. Probably her more attractive sister too, at least for a while. Her parents were outstanding members of the Community.

Turned out the Dad had been molesting the gals and Dawn took a shotgun exception to this eventually. She was sent to jail. She died of cancer a few years later; made me think that some diseases are self-inflicted, or can be.

The school never said anything about it. Doane-Stuart of Albany. They lost the buildings I attended to the nunnery, and took over some other private school grounds in Albany.

I thought it lame that nothing was ever said. Sister Cohen, all of them. Ms. Ganz who hassled me for not wearing socks. Nothing. Can't happen here.

[Actually, one day the library was selling off stuff. They sold a Zappa Mothers album for squat, it was amongst my first, I still have it. Can you imagine? Then again, I learned how to make nitrogen triiodide from the _Curve of binding energy_ which I found in this nice xian library.

And yes, I made it as a kid.


Poestenkill Question

Because this is such an old story, I cannot find any links. If there are minor faults in the narrative I provide, it can be blamed on my memory. As usual.

A young woman of highschool age was being routinely molested by her father or step-father, and it may have been established that he was raping a younger sister too. Same old story. Happens every day. Somewhere in this great land of ours, this is unfortunately probably happening right now; as you read, and as I type.

But in this story the abuse is ended. The abuser had pulled the car into the garage, but passed out behind the steering wheel sleeping off a binge. Dawn Cruickshank, the girl, got the family shotgun and went to the garage, where she confronted him and then blew him away.

I think she got twenty years in one of New York State's dismal prisons. She's probably been out of jail for some time now. She was a hero to many, a tragic figure to all.

I used to wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning when the local classical radio station began broadcasting, and I would read the Albany Times Union before riding off to highschool. Now with computers I can still read at least portions of my old newspaper-on-the-doorstep every morning again.

The Times-Union followed Dawn's trial closely.

JUAN GONZALEZ: What about the issue of the government raising the specter of attempting to prosecute Julian Assange, when the reality is he is not doing this in the United States? He is releasing documents in another country. And—

DANIEL ELLSBERG: Well, they’re trying to get the other countries to prosecute him under their laws, which are, in many cases, of course, more stringent than ours. Even Britain, where I’ll be going tomorrow, has an Official Secrets Act, which we don’t. We had a revolution and a war of independence and a First Amendment, which they don’t. But if these prosecutions proceed and if they’re successful, if they’re carried—if they’re held up, if they’re supported by this Supreme Court, which might well not have been the case forty years ago, then we’ll have an Official Secrets Act, and the effect of—in effect.

It often has been said that the AIPAC case, the case of the Israeli lobby here, people who were accused of receiving information, were for the first—who did not have clearances—who were being charged under this law. Barack Obama, by the way, dropped that case, which was brought under Bush.

JUAN GONZALEZ: But what about that policy, given the fact that President Obama came into office talking about a more transparent and open government and appears to be going in the opposite direction?

DANIEL ELLSBERG: Well, that promise has gone the way of his promise to close Guantánamo and a number of other promises. In no way, in the general defense and homeland security area, is he less opaque, more transparent, than Bush. And as I say, he’s being even more aggressive in pursuing prosecution.

For treason.

President Barack Obama has already brought as many prosecutions for leaks to the American public as all previous presidents put together
Returning released material, released into cyberspace, seems rather absurd.
ADM. MIKE MULLEN: Mr. Assange can say whatever he likes about the greater good he thinks he and his source are doing, but the truth is, they might already have on their hands the blood of some young soldier

Actually, "Admiral", you do. As does congress, Obama, etc.

AMY GOODMAN: You xeroxed 7,000 pages?

DANIEL ELLSBERG: Yes. It took a long time, one page at a time.

WASHINGTON -- Radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki lunched at the Pentagon as part of a program to reach out to moderate Muslims in the months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a military official said Thursday.

The U.S.-born al-Qaida operative is now on a U.S. kill-or-capture list.

Deborah Higgins founded the National Fallen Heroes Memorial, a nonprofit organization, in 2006. Since then, she has invested her own money to help get the project off the ground.

The plans

To date, she has invested and raised about $500,000 for the facility near Frederick that will feature a museum, memorials representing all branches of the military, statues representing those currently serving and veterans who are still living, a 24-hour counseling center, a chapel and a restaurant. She hopes to break ground by the end of this year or early spring 2011.

The estimated cost of the memorial is at least $100 million. To finish the museum, she needs to raise $17 million.

"English Heritage, the organization that runs and manages various historical sites in the UK, such as Stonehenge, has apparently sent letters to various photo sharing and stock photo sites claiming that any photo of Stonehenge that is being sold violates its rights, and only English Heritage can get commercial benefit from such photos.

As one recipient noted, this seems odd, given that English Heritage has only managed Stonehenge 'for 27 of the monument's 4,500 year old history.'"

Anwar Al-Awlaki may be the first American on the CIA's kill or capture list, but he was also a lunch guest of military brass at the Pentagon within months of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, Fox News has learned.

Documents exclusively obtained by Fox News, including an FBI interview conducted after the Fort Hood shooting in November 2009, state that Awlaki was taken to the Pentagon as part of the military’s outreach to the Muslim community in the immediate aftermath of the attacks.


The Pentagon has offered no explanation of how a man, now on the CIA kills or capture list, ended up at a special lunch for Muslim outreach.

PATNA, India — An argument over sacrificing goats during a Hindu festival triggered a stampede that killed 10 people Sunday in a packed temple in northern India, officials said.

More than 40,000 people, many inebriated, had taken their goats to the Tildiha village temple in Bihar state to offer sacrifice and prayers to the goddess Durga on the last day of the Navratri festival.

As the worshipers lined up before the butcher, a scuffle broke out and some people were trampled, Banka district spokesman Gupdeshwar Kumar said.

ATLANTA -- A veteran federal judge faces drug and firearms charges after an exotic dancer at an Atlanta strip club told authorities he used cocaine, marijuana and other illegal drugs with her.

Senior U.S. District Judge Jack T. Camp was arrested Friday minutes after he handed an undercover law enforcement agent $160 for cocaine and Roxycodone, a narcotic pain medication, that he intended to use with the exotic dancer, authorities said in a court document released Monday. They said they also found two firearms in the front seat of his vehicle.

And who says Ga is filled with inbred idiot redneck fascists?

Much cooler than the penis-pumping judge, or the pedo judge, or any number of otherwise insane so-called "judges" in the insane "legal" system.

There, Luzzi said Irvine code enforcement officials told him the [man dressed as a] pickle would be OK as long as it wasn't holding a sign.

Provisioning for perpetual war

By the time of the Memorial's dedication ceremony, roughly 17 granite panels will be filled with names of the dead soldiers. Each 6 foot tall panel has 84 lines and holds an average of 350 names. Three blank panels will be hung at the Memorial and additional names will be processed in the same fashion except that the sandblasting will be done with a portable device on site at the Memorial. A reserve fund is being accumulated to pay for the future engraving, and to pay for an expansion of the Memorial if circumstances warrant it.
