JMU center gets $388,442 to lead safety training for Syrian refugees
With unexploded ordnance littering their country, Syrian refugees need to learn how to spot danger and what they can do to stay safe. A center based at James Madison University will take the lead in providing that education.
Dr. Suzanne Fiederlein, associate director of the Center for International Stabilization and Recovery at JMU, will head to Jordan Thursday, Nov. 14, to begin working with two Jordanian partner organizations that will conduct the training in the northern city of Mafraq. The training will begin this month and continue through May 2014. A final program featuring artwork of children who have been trained will be held in June 2014.
The training program is being funded by $388,442 from the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in the Department of State's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. About 500 children and 75 adults will receive the training, which will include instruction on how they can train others about what they learn.
"It's not just identifying the items themselves, but also understanding how to read a situation and knowing when it could be dangerous," Fiederlein said.
Dr. Ken Rutherford, a landmine survivor and director of CISR, said, "Syria itself has not been exposed to this type of education because these weapons have never before infested its soil."
Training for children will focus on portraying safety messages through art, which will then be turned into printed materials that can be used to teach children in other communities. The children's training will be conducted by Life Line for Consultancy and Rehabilitation, an organization CISR has worked with before to train Jordanian children. The National Committee for Demining and Rehabilitation will conduct the adult training.
"The post conflict work in Syria could be one of the most complicated humanitarian operations in history," Rutherford said. "Never have cities been under so much fire for such an extended period of time." The conflict pitting forces loyal to the Ba'ath government and those seeking to oust it began in March 2011.
CISR helps communities affected by conflict and trauma through innovative research, training, information exchange and direct services. CISR was founded at JMU in 1996 as the Mine Action Information Center, becoming CISR in 2008. Since its founding, CISR has worked worldwide to help communities build peaceful and prosperous futures free from the repercussions of war and disaster.

Thrifty, Practical & Chic: Veronica's Painted Persian Rug
Kilims, dhurries, and Persian rugs abound in home decor these days, and in particular, they've invaded the kitchen. Veronica, from the blog My Hands Made It, loved this look but didn't love the price tag or the anxiety that accompanies having a nice rug in a messy kitchen. So she took matters into her own hands.
With an old seagrass rug, paint, and some patience, Veronica created her own version of a Persian rug. The look is chic, and the results are arguably more practical for the space. And what's more, given that slightly worn Persian rugs are some of the most desirable, there's a chance that the painted version will look even more authentic if the paint wears over time.
For a full tutorial on how she did it, visit My Hands Made it.

Let me start off by saying that I love technology. I love Twitter and blogs, videos and my iStuff. "SmartHouses" no longer only exist during a cool scene in Back to the Future. They are a (growing) reality, and I look forward to the day I'll be able to preheat my oven from my desk at work.
That being said, some things about technology I do not love. Like how it's further enabled sloppy reporting and lightning-fast dissemination of "facts" minus the "verification" part.
Many voices in the mainstream media — in particular Time magazine and Huffington Post — recently lauded and shared a story at warp speed about a "one-minute church service." Tim Christensen, a Lutheran pastor in Montana and a fan of the San Francisco 49ers, was videoed on a recent Sunday seemingly racing through a service so he could get back to what's really important: his television and the Big Game.
His "initiative" was called "brilliant" and "triumphant" — after all, what's a church service other than a compilation of "unnecessary bits"? From the laudatory reaction to this video, it's possible Christensen is already in the running for next year's Man of the Year. Look out, Pope Francis.
The story zipped around the blogosphere, being passed from one giddy commentator to another before someone thought to check and see if it actually was true. Of course it wasn't, as any person who attends church with any type of regularity could have seen from the lit candles and the prepared altar behind him.
It was a one-minute clip of a pastor who loves football joking with his congregation. Real, funny and appropriate within its actual context.
The pesky facts, though, weren't cleared up until later in the day when the website Mashable ran its own story with the headline: "Pastor's 1-Minute Sermon Ahead of NFL Playoffs Was Just a Joke." By that time, though, Christensen had been crucified in the comment boxes of various websites and was being called, among other things, a "fraud." But that's no big deal, right? It's just one of those people who believes in that weird God thing.
The reality is that religion-bashing (especially online) is just par for the course these days. Just read Jamie Stiehm's recent opinion piece on U.S. News & World Report's website in which she lambasted Catholics — from the "nunnery" of the Little Sisters of the Poor to "the meddlesome American Roman Catholic Archbishops" (looks like she can't fact-check either) — for our "war on women." It's one ludicrous sentence after another and was defended by her editors as "fair commentary." Thankfully, for those of us in the religion biz, technology can work in our favor, too, and Catholic commentators rushed to the Church's defense.
But how sad these two stories are for a profession that prides itself on "digging up the truth." The only thing that should have gone viral was shame.

5 Fall Florals for Your Bed
It's time to say goodbye to neons and brights, and hello jewel tones and subtler hues. If you're looking for new bedding, there are some autumnal-themed florals that speak to the season. Here are five fall florals from around the web:
1. The Hydrangea print from Pine Cone Hill is muted and cozy, with orange and antique gold balanced by a soft green. This mix of hues will work for autumn through to spring.
2. The warm neutrals in West Elm's Fall Blooms duvet balance the pops of plum, a gateway print for the floral-averse.
3. Falling leaves, falling flowers: the amethyst and terracotta blossoms cascade down this Plum & Bow duvet.
4. A contemporary floral from Target with a dark palette of navy and olive creates a cocoon, and bits of lavender and burnt orange add interest.
5. A pretty pattern from Anthropologie, with vintage-style flowers in vermillion and raspberry on seafoam backdrop.

Biden To Meet With NRA To Discuss Gun Safety [VIDEO]
The Obama administration is meeting with the National Rifle Association and other gun-rights groups as officials look for ways to curb violence linked to guns
Vice President Joe Biden is leading an administration-wide review of gun safety laws, vowing urgent action in the wake of last month's massacre at a Connecticut elementary school.
The meeting with the NRA is one of three Biden has scheduled for Thursday, as he prepares to make recommendations on gun policy by the end of the month. Besides the session with the NRA, Biden and other officials also are sitting down with sportsmen and wildlife interest groups, as well as people from the entertainment industry.
Biden met Wednesday with gun-control advocates and crime victims.

Ok well here goes nothing, or maybe something depends on whose reading I guess. When I was younger, about 10 years old I guess, I and some of my friends used to play in a wooded area behind our farm. During the summer it was almost daily. Almost every day we would see an older man riding a horse, we would wave and try to say hello but he never paid attention to us. So we just figured he was senile and didnt like kids. We always saw him from a distance, he would ride the horse to the creek and the horse would drink and then cross the creek and go into the woods on the other side. We noticed on one day being a little closer than usual that the man and horse seemed to vanish when they reached the other side of the creek but we didnt think much about it because the wooded area was really thick on the other side. As we got to the creek with our fishing poles, one of the guys asked the rest of us how did the horse cross the creek in that area without getting wet. We all laughed and said the water wasnt deep enough. Well my friend walked about 10 or 12 feet out into the water and was standing neck deep in our swimming hole. He turned and looked at the rest of us and yelled Where are the foot prints? It was then that the rest of noticed that the only foot prints in the sand and soft dirt was ours. We all looked at each other threw the fishing poles and tackle down and ran for dear life. It was the last time we played back there. I have been back to the area in recent years but have seen nothing like this again. Two of the boys have since moved out of state and I have lost touch with them, one of the other boys still lives here but refuses to talk about it and also refuses to go anywhere near the place.
This was my first experience with paranormal activity and has always stuck in my mind and I have been questioning these things ever since.

Nik Wallenda Successfully Crosses Gorge Near the Grand Canyon on Tightrope
Just a few months back Nik Wallenda crossed the Niagara Falls in front of millions of spectators. As a 7th generation member of the daredevil 'Flying Wallenda's Family' Nik likes to push the envelope. This time he set out to cross the Grand Canyon, 1,400 feet across and 1,500 feet up.
Nik does this with no net, or safety harness. There were high winds over the gorge to compete with as well; about 30mph. It took him about 23 minutes to complete the walk and set a record as first person to cross the canyon.
He now wants to cross between the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building in New York.

The Union Human Resources Development Minister, Arjun Singh is in news again. And this time, the reference is not to the Cabinet decision to move the Bill to set apart seats in higher education institutions for the Other Backward Classes. I am referring now to the debate on an order from the HRD Ministry that vande mataram will be sung in schools across the country on September 7, 2006.
Now, I love the song and enjoy listening to it every morning. I recall having enjoyed this since my childhood and that was a time when the radio was perhaps the only means of communication. I recall the days waking up from sleep to a rendition of this song rendered in raga ``desh'' and the tune is set in my mind. So much so, when A.R.Rahman was commission by the Government to render the song in a different tune, I was among those who felt angry.
And my anger only increased when Rahman explained that he wanted to ``popularise'' that song, once a battle cry for freedom from the British, among a new generation. I was sceptical that this was no way to popularise the song. Let me clarify here that I also love rock music and do listen to pop as well. The issue was that vande mataram represented an ethos and in an era where that ethos was being decimated, the song was also bound to vanish from popular memory.
In other words, in an era where the ethos of selfless sacrifice and the ideals of the freedom movement are giving way to concerns of self preservation and material accomplishments, there is no way in which a powerful slogan or a symbol of the freedom movement can be preserved as part of the popular culture. And vande mataram is no exception to this larger rule!
If this needed any proof, it is there for all of us to see. A.R.Rahman's rendition of vande mataram turned popular among the college and school students during the couple of months after the 50th anniversary celebration of independence in 1997. It will not be an exaggeration to say that it is no longer heard of anywhere now.
Arjun Singh's initiative or enthusiasm now to ensure that the spirit of the glorious days of the freedom struggle is recreated on September 7, 2006 by asking students in schools across the country sing that song is, in that sense, nothing but a manifestation of this ``teflon'' patriotism. It is synthetic and hence not going to infuse any sense of love to the nation and its people!
While saying all this, let me make it clear that I continue to love that song and after reading history books and thus come to know what vande mataram meant to a generation of patriots, I now listen to that song with a sense of political responsibility and not just in the aesthetic sense. The tune in which the song is played, everyday, on the All India Radio is also appealing to me in the aesthetic sense.
Meanwhile, it is sad that every time vande mataram is discussed, we find the clergy among the Muslim community making it a point of dispute. It is time that the clergy is
told by the men and women from that community as well as those
committed to pluralist and democratic values that there is nothing wrong with singing a song that was once the battle cry of those who fought for our freedom.
And those who do not know the history of this song, let me recommend a book. An eminent economic historian, Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, wrote a book which he called ``The Biography of a Song'' tracing all the stages it went through; that it was popularised by the sadhus in the Anand Mutt, that it became the battle cry, the debate in 1930 over some of its stanzas and the evolution of this into the national song.
The writer had dedicated this book to his grandchild with hopes that it will be read after a few years. Well, it is important that the youth of today reads this book as well. And that may lead to a situation when a large number of people listen to vande mataram in raag ``desh'' and also reinvent the ethos with which the song evolved into a battle cry and decide to participate in the war against poverty, inequality and oppression. This will make sense rather than a symbolic rendering of the song on November 7, 2006!

Let's be honest about this. The reason the Electronic Design Process Symposium takes place every year in Monterey is because of the surf and sunshine. Otherwise, this conference would be so much more appropriately located in Silicon Valley.
Oh well, where's the harm? Just hop into your favorite woodie, be it a hybrid or an EV, don't forget the suncream, sandtoys, and surfboard, and head on down to Monterey Bay for two days of great talks, good food, and quiet-ish contemplation, with an emphasis on -ish. The 20th annual EDPS awaits.

Musicians Celebrate: UK Small Venues Can Now Play Live Music License-Free [Updated]
from the look-at-that! dept
In the last few years, we've been (pleasantly) surprised at a few attempts in the UK to make copyright law slightly more reasonable. The Hargreaves Report, for example, was surprisingly reasonable, and while there's resistance, it still appears as if the government is interested in supporting many of its recommendations. We also just reported on an attempt to move some copyright claims to a small claims court, greatly limiting the damages possible.
And now, it appears that the UK has removed license requirements for small venues playing music. Under this new law, venues with a capacity under 200 won't have to pay license fees for having live music performers, and any venue can avoid license fees if it's playing "unamplified" live music (which probably limits how large the venue can be by default anyway). This is a pretty big deal.
As we've been writing about for years, various collection societies around the globe have been ramping up efforts to collect money from pretty much any place that plays music. This has resulted in some absolutely crazy stories (especially in the UK) of the local collection society, PRS, going after a shop assistant for singing out loud while stocking shelves, demanding payments from a woman who played music for her horses, and cracking down on a children's charity for singing Christmas carols without a license. Those stories may be extreme examples, but it gives you a sense of how aggressive some of these organizations are. The real end result, unfortunately, is that plenty of venues that used to host open mic nights or allow local musicians to perform (a great way for musicians to learn how to perform) have stopped such things, as it's not worth paying a huge license fee just to let some musicians perform.
The new law only applies to live music -- so situations that involve recorded music will still have to pay up -- but, at the very least, this should free up coffee shops and restaurants and the like to let some musicians perform, without having to pay crazy license fees. And, it's worth noting, that musicians are (quite rightly) celebrating this change. Even though the various collection societies like to argue that demanding license fees from coffee shops for open mic night is a good thing, most musicians recognize that's not true at all. They need more venues to play in, and that's especially true of up and coming artists. The predictions in the UK are that this will allow an impressive 13,000 venues to start having live music performances, where they wouldn't have done so before.
While you could argue that this should go even further, it's still a rare case in which copyright law is effectively limited, rather than continuously expanded -- and it's quite encouraging that musicians realize this is actually to their benefit, rather than detriment.

The wait is over! The Sandy Bridge CPU is finally upon us, and the new CPU and Chipset combination looks like it is going to be quite impressive! Now that the NDA's have been lifted, we can go into more details of the new Intel P67 chipset as well as the performance numbers. There are three articles to hit our front page tonight; of course, we have the one you are looking at now which will take a look at two Intel P67 motherboards, Nate is taking an in depth look at a Sandy Bridge Notebook here, and Brian Wallace is taking a look at the new Sandy Bridge Processors. As you can see it's going to be a busy night here at Legit Reviews, so let's get to it!
As mentioned earlier, this article is going to take a look at a pair of Intel P67 based motherboards. Both of our samples today are coming from ASUS. The first is the ASUS P8P67 Deluxe motherboard, and the other is the ASUS P8P67 motherboard. The ASUS P8P67 Deluxe is among the top of ASUS's current offerings in the Intel P67 line, while the ASUS P8P67 is going to be aimed at the entry level crowd. There are a number of features that vary between our two boards today, but there are also a number of similarities among them.
Among the entire ASUS P8P67 line ASUS has moved away from the analog VRM's and switched over to a new digital solution. The new DIGI+ VRM offers better switching accuracy and less switching delay. The new DIGI+ VRM will also give us complete control of the power through Windows or the BIOS. The ASUS P8P67 Deluxe has an industry leading 16+2 digital power phase while the ASUS P8P67 uses a 12+2 digital power phase. The EPU feature has auto tuning capabilities and can be enabled through two different methods. The first option is to enable it through the system BIOS; the second is to simply flip a switch on the board itself. We also have the TPU onboard the ASUS P67 line. If you aren't familiar with the TPU, it is a specialized micro-processor that helps to achieve easier overclocking. Pair the TPU with the ASUS auto tuning inside the TurboV module of the AI Suite II or in the system BIOS and you can achieve a quick, stable and fast overclock. This is something that we are going to play with in the overclocking section for both the ASUS P8P67 and the P8P67 Deluxe later on!
ASUS is among the first to completely overhaul the system BIOS and implement something new called EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS. Our first impressions had us thinking that it was a radical change and totally wild to see. I will admit that it took a little getting used to at first; after a few minutes of playing around in the BIOS, though, I was able to find everything right where I thought it would be. When you first boot into the BIOS you are welcomed by the screen above which is the easy mode. You can switch to the Advanced mode where you will find all of the options that are typically found in the BIOS. Don't worry; we will take a full look inside the BIOS shortly.
The ASUS P8P67 Series is being introduced with five different motherboards including the ASUS P8P67 Pro for ~$190.00, the P8P67 EVO for ~$210 and the P8P67 LE with a price that is still to be determined. These boards range in price from ~$160.00 for the P8P67 motherboard and up to $235 for the ASUS P8P67 Deluxe. ASUS also has a couple of other Intel P67 based boards that will be hitting the shelves; these include the ASUS Republic of Gamers Maximus IV Extreme which is sitting pretty at $365.00, the P8P67 WS Revolution coming to the party at $259, and the Sabertooth P67 which falls in line at $219. For those of you who like the small form factor PCs and HTPCs ASUS is also releasing two micro ATX boards, the P8P67-M Pro which is going to sell for ~$149 and is based on the P67 chipset, and the P8H67-M EVO for ~$129. If you like them even smaller there will also be a Mini-ITX version of the board coming out, the P8H67-I, whose price has yet to be determined. Here is a quick bullet point on all of the ASUS Intel Sandy Bridge motherboards that will be coming out.
|ASUS P8P67 Deluxe
|Intel® P67 Express Chipset
|Expansion Slots
|Multi-GPU support
|Intel P67 Express Chipset
Marvell PCIe 9120 SATA 6Gb/s controller
|Intel P67 Express Chipset

JMicron JMB362 SATA controller
|Realtek ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
|Realtek ALC892 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC
|VIA 6308P controller supports 2 x IEEE 1394a ports (one at mid-board; one at back panel)
|VIA 6315N controller supports 2 x IEEE 1394a ports (one at mid-board; one at back panel)
|2 x NEC USB 3.0 controllers
Intel P67 Express Chipset
Along with the features found above, ASUS has incorporated a number of unique features in the ASUS P8P67 series of motherboards. The DIGI+ VRM, EPU and TPU that we mentioned above are just a few of the many unique features. As we take our tour of the ASUS P8P67 and the ASUS P8P67 Deluxe, we will go over more of the features that are unique to ASUS. For now though, let's take a close look at the new Intel P67 chipset!

Boeing says its top priority this year is to fix the battery problems that grounded its 787.
The company made the pledge while reporting a fourth-quarter profit that topped Wall Street estimates, as rising profits from commercial jets offset a smaller profit from defense work.
Boeing earned $978 million in the latest quarter, or $1.28 per share. That was down 30 percent from $1.39 billion, or $1.84 per share, a year earlier, which included a big tax benefit.
The profit topped the $1.19 per share expected by analysts.
Revenue rose 14 percent to $22.3 billion.
Boeing Co. says earnings this year will be $5 to $5.20 per share, with revenue of $82 billion to $85 billion. The outlook assumes "no significant financial impact" from the 787 being out of service.

Skip to comments.DUmmie FUnnies 03-28-06 (Ouija Board Polls)
Posted on 03/28/2006 5:37:19 AM PST by PJ-Comix
When I was a teenager, I was told that I would someday be world famous. Leaders from many countries would make pilgrimages to my vast estates to seek my advice. I was even told that I would lead a punitive expedition across the galaxy to wipe out an alien civilization that dared to threaten our planet. Of course, I returned to Earth as a conquering hero. That same evening, other teenagers around the table I was sitting at, were told they would become famous actresses, captains of industry, or sports legends. Oddly enough, no one was told they would end up as an inconspicuous couch potato. The reason for these startling revelations was the Ouija Board we were using for the predictions. Of course, something deep down told us to approach the Ouija Board predictions skeptically since the planchette floating around the Ouija board was merely responding to our subconcious desires filtered through our fingers placed atop it.
Yes, most of us have learned to treat the "predictions" of the Ouija Board with a grain of salt, AND YET, most people look upon the EQUALLY unscientific polls with awe and respect. That's right. I said "UNSCIENTIFIC." Like Ouija boards, polls will reflect the results that the people commissioning the polls desire. Either in the actual wording of the polling questions or in the tone of voice used, the pollster can subtly (whether conciously or unconciously) guide the polling planchette in the desired direction.
And now a confessional. At one point in my life I also treated polls with all the awe and respect that I thought they deserved. Whenever I heard someone dismissing the accuracy of polls, I dismissed him as a cranky old kook who probably still thinks the Earth is flat. So what brought about the change? For me it was the 1994 Congressional Elections. About 6 weeks before the election, I remember reading the polls showing that the Republicans would make some important gains in Congress. My hopes were up only to be DASHED a couple of weeks before the election when many polls stated that the Republicans had "peaked too soon" and that the Democrats were overtaking the Republicans. As a result, I approached the TV set on Election Day in a glum mood. Therefore imagine my surprise when the Republicans scored an historic VICTORY in 1994 when the Republicans picked up 54 seats in the House and 8 seats in the Senate, capturing a majority of both legislative bodies.
I VOWED to NEVER be swayed by polls again. Not only that, I did some investigations and found out that polls, far from being scientific, are RARELY correct. Remember the dead heat 1980 election between Reagan and Carter? Well, at least it was a dead heat according to the polls, most of which did NOT predict the Reagan landslide victory. And the further away the elections are from the time the polling takes place, the more meaningless the results are to the point that you might as well consult a Ouija Board for more accurate results.
Even that most "accurate" of polls, based on "infallible" polling data taken directly from voters right after casting their ballots, the much vaunted Exit Poll was proven to be COMPLETELY inaccurate on Election Day 2004. The results of that faulty Exit Poll was written on the dour face of a drunken SUSAN ESTRICH on Election Night who proclaimed as part of a bizarre slurred ramble, "Either the exit polls are completely wrong or George Bush loses." Those faulty Exit Polls caused Estrich's Victory champagne to quickly turn into bitter medicine desperately downed by the Democrat News Analyst to kill the pain of DEFEAT. Of course, the professional pollsters later claimed that there was a series of "logical" reasons to explain away the huge error of the Exit Polls: overpolling certain groups, underpolling other groups, using amateur data collectors, etc., etc.. And I can give them "logical" explanations as to why the Ouija Board of my teenage experience was not accurate.
To sum up, polls will say what interest groups WANT them to say. They can be used as a TOOL in a very LIMITED basis to help candidates find out where to campaign or what issues to stress. Other than that, polls are notoriously INACCURATE as electoral predictors. Of course, the Mainstream Media LOVE polls since they can easily get them to validate their own liberal agenda. Hardly an evening goes by nowadays that a network newscast (often at the beginning of the program) cites Bush's "plunging" poll numbers. Yeah, and if those polls were not made via Ouija Board tactics to reflect what the media pays them to reflect, the pollster would find himself replaced by the news organization so he knows where to lead his planchette to keep his income stream steady.
So with all the obsession over what are completely UNSCIENTIFIC polls, it is amusing to watch the DUmmies sweat beads over those very same polls as you can see in this THREAD titled, "What I find totally depressing about recent polls..." Yes, DUmmies, polls have almost NO BASIS in reality but guess what? If you get so upset over those phony polls, I'm just going to sit back and watch you agonize over that particular Ouija Board. So let us now watch the DUmmies mesmerized by polls that mean nothing in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if Democrat Chairman Terry McAuliffe consulted a Ouija Board or a poll when he gloatingly declared, "Jeb Bush is gone," a few days before Governor Bush was re-elected in a LANDSLIDE, is in the [brackets]:
What I find totally depressing about recent polls...
[A DUmmie who believes in the AWESOME power of the Ouija Board Polls...as well as astrology, alchemy, and divining chicken entrails.]
...however positive the results may seem to us, is that there apparently exists a solid, unshakable 33%-40% bloc of support for a president with authoritarian leanings and a seemingly complete disregard for the Constitution and Bill of Rights...no matter how badly he does.
[Good news! That number just declined from 36.8% to 36.6% in the past month according to the Ouija Board Polls. Even more important the astrological chart shows the Moon rising in Uranus which does not portend well for Bush.]
Think on that awhile. In a way, I could better stomach genuinely high approval ratings (60%+) for Bush if things were going well (as they did for Reagan during the mid-'80s boom"). That way, I'd figure that it was merely the results of Bush's leadership they were approving of, not the philosophy behind it.
[Think about it. We have a strong economy now. Think about it.]
But, as it is, it seems to me that a third of the country or more just likes the idea of a right-wing dictatorship -- fascism without even making the trains run on time. And I hate to think what that bodes for the future.
[Maybe the trains aren't running quite on time but the rest of the economy is working well. Think what that bodes for the future of the poll takers when their predictions are ONCE AGAIN proven WRONG.]
It is rather discouraging.
[Yes, DUmmies. Toss yourselves over the cliff in frustration over poll results that are no more accurate than a Ouija Board.]
His numbers continue to slide downward and I take exception to your phrase "there apparently exists a solid, unshakable 33%-40% bloc of support". His support is neither solid nor unshakable and will continue its slow but inexorable decline.
[I can make the results of those polls rise or fall at least 10 points just in the way I say the word "Bush" while asking the "scientific" poll questions. Saying "Bush" in a sneering tone like a media pundit can easily drive those numbers way down.]
Maybe yes, maybe no...but I have to wonder what more it would take for current Bush supporters to turn. If they haven't concluded, in the face of all the current evidence, that Bush is a miserable failure, would he need to be caught tunneling into the local bank, or shoot someone in public (hey, it worked for Cheney!), or (gasp) be revealed to have received blow-jobs from a young intern? My point is that those who currently back Bush do so in spite of the results of his presidency. Which tells me that they are people who embrace his ideology of imposing a right-wing agenda (and the Constitution be damned), not his effectiveness. In other words, a bloc who prefer right-wing philosophy to democracy. And that's a chilling thought indeed, because, long after Bush is gone, they'll still be voting.
[We...are...mind- numbed ...robots...who...must...listen...to...Rush...to...be...told...how...to...think. And the FUnnie thing is that many liberals buy into that line. I was at a park once listening to Rush on a bench with my portable radio. After a while a liberal type old guy walked nearby and looked at the radio in disgust. "You listen to that guy?" he asked in disgust." "Yes," I replied, "I need to be told how to think." The liberal guy just sadly shook his head up and down and went on his way, totally missing the sarcasm in my reply. In his mind, I merely confirmed his belief in lock-step unthinking EVIL right-wingers.]
You hit it on the head!
[I think he fell on his noggin.]
His support will bottom out at no higher than 20% which corresponds to the percentage of hardcore RW religious fanatics who have supported him all along. No chance of change there, however their sway on American politics in general is slipping along with Bush's falling popularity. He has lost the great majority of Independents, has completely lost Dems and now many in his own party are finished with him. I can't be overly concerned with the 20% of fundies who still adore the nincompoop when they are all he has.
[And how is President Kerry doing since his big win as predicted by the Exit Polls? I hope he is enjoying the way Mama T is gliding his planchette over his Ouija Board.]
I wonder how the 33% compares to those with enough money to be profitting from all of the "mistakes" that have been made
[Let's be accurate. It is 33.2% according to the Ouija Board Polls.]
The 33% are the Christofascisti; they've been told Bush is God, err, good and they always believe what they've been told to believe. They would gladyly see most of us here exterminated so America could be more godly.
[Your statement is an OUTRAGE! The correct number is THIRTY-THREE POINT TWO PERCENT!!!]
I don't believe for a second that these polls accurately reflect anything...more than the opinions of the people who write them.
[And this DUmmie WINS a Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity. The chance of this recurring is 23.6% according to the polls.]
The only people I know who still support him are truly uninformed or stupid, or religiously insane.
[According to the latest CNN/Gallup Ouija Board Poll.]
they are like a religious cult..only more dangerous..and they are small in numbers...so why we give them any creedance is beyond me! we should be wiping the floors with them..instead we pander to this sick bunch..
[And could you mop up your drool spill in the corner of the room?]
It is my belief..... that if you took any country/society/culture you would find about that percentage of people who are drawn to authoritarian leaders, and are nascent fascists. It seems to be a certain personality type, thankfully in the minority. What we have seen it that 30-40 percent become empowered in this country, and it is indeed a scary experience. Having enjoyed a heyday, the fascist-leaning American minority will likely be harder to control in the future, and that is pretty depressing.
[33.8% according to the latest ABC News Poll which is within the Ouija Board margin of error of 33.6% according to the CNN/Gallup Poll.]
I'd worry more about the 60 - 67% who don't support him and how to get them to vote Demo in 2006. But first we must motivate the base.
[About the same percentage didn't support the Sandinista Opposition according to the polls in the 1990 Nicaraguan election. Those polls showing an overwhelming Sandinista electoral victory proved "accurate" until the day of the elections when the Sandinistas LOST in a landslide.]
It's the Apocalypse factor. It truly is religious based. Forget common sense. Forget all your normal reasons otherwise. They believe we are in our last days, deficits are meaningless, they have won the abortion argument, morality has been politicized and everything is under control. You have to love them for it though. They are sticking up for what they believe just as well as you are.
[What about the weird DUmmie belief in the Ouija Board Polls?]
Whatever people's personal reasons and motives for... Supporting the Bushco, I have a hard time believing that there is genuinely 30-plus percent of our populace that actually supports them.
[Me too. I believe that number is well above 50% although this is based on personal observation, not the Ouija Board Polls which actually reflect the opinions ONLY of the Media Types with their fingers guiding the polling planchette to the desired results.]
Mike Malloy.... coined a term for this years ago. He calls them the "30% idiot contingent". They are mostly deluded "christians". Bush could sprount horns, a tail and wave a trident and they would still support him. The only good thing is that they are not a majority, and they never will be.
[Must believe this! MUST BELIEVE THIS! Oh please tell me it is true my almighty Ouija Board Poll planchette. Verify my beliefs!]
Beyond being a non majority, a very slim minority.
[Yes! Yes! My Ouija Board Polling Planchette told me that LESS than 1% of the country supports Bush. I BEEEEEEELEEEEEEEVE!!!!!]
i truely believe * could......... screw a pink elephant on the front lawn of the white house with a million cameras catching the action..and they would find some damn excuse for him. they are sick people and why we pay one damn bit of attention to those sicko's is beyond me..they are not even a real minority.
[Methink you are being screwed by a pink planchette that validates the beliefs flowing through your DUmmie fingers.]
Conversely, the fact that this admin likely doesn't even have 30%, yet "we the people" haven't risen up and kicked these guys' asses is a far more troubling reality.
[30%. Down from 33.6% since this DUFU edition began according to the latest CNN/Ouija Poll.]
Interesting phenomena isn't it? Where is their ideology inculcated? Fascist families? Some institution for morons? Nazi school? Just where the f*ck does it come from is the burning question?
I put a lot of the blame on the RW "Noise Machine".
[As opposed to the LW "Media Machine" which leads off their newscasts with the latest "low" Ouija Board Poll numbers for Bush.]
Yes, and terrifying to realize just how many... People mentally digest such garbage while perceiving it as "reality."
[According to the latest CNN/Ouija Poll, 99.9% of all DUmmies BEEEEEELEEEEVE in creating their own alternate reality in which John Kerry was inaugurated as President due to his overwhelming victory in the Exit Polls.]
Rush has fooled me into thinking that supporting the overthrow of tyrannies in the ME, supporting the growth of Democracy, appointing Judges that don't legislate, allowing people to keep more of their earnings and promoting an ownership society are all the opposit of Fascism.
These DUmmies are truly deluded.
Spot on postulate, there.
I always find it entertaining that the DUmmies wax on and on about the mind-set and ideology of the Christian right. These, who find any concept of God or deity intervention and determination, abhorrent to the point of shoouting their gnosticism from the virtual rooftops, are somehow experts on religiosity ion America.
A bit later on, we hear them summarize their paranoid stupidity by saying (paraphrase), "I don't understand why the rest of America isn't politically rabid and drooling like us."
Dude, the rest of America has better things to do...like leave the basement and go to work each day.
Into the top 30 like a turtle on speed!
I worked for several years as a Software Engineer for big Polling company. Take it from me -- polls can be systematically manipulated to produce the desired result. The question's wording, the sample demographics and the weighting that is applied to the results are all "art" not "science". Many polling practices are based in theoretical assumptions.
But the reputable polling companies do not produce many of these "public opinion" polls or partner with the MSM organizations. Public opinion polls may produce headlines and send our Dummies hearts a-thumpin', but these polls are not big revenue producers.
There is BIG money to be made in the market research arena.
Companies are willing to pay dearly for the opinions of the consumers of their goods and services. One example that was extremely lucrative is the pharmeceutical industry.
The drug producers need the polling companies to guage the effacacy and side-effect occurence of their products.
However, in my experience the market-research polls are conducted more scientifically than the public-opinion polls. The influence of the political agenda of the polls sponsors does not affect the methodolgy. The polling companies would lose credibility if the results were deemed unreliable. A polling company's reputation is their only asset.
"(and the Constitution be damned)"
They don't have a clue what the constitution even says. Acording to them it looks like the communist manifesto.
i.e. The polling planchette.
I wonder if it is too late to censure Klintoon for possessing all those FBI files on private American citizens? Or better yet, how about censuring Hildabeast............?
You should try the Columbian blend...meth cut with crack and mellowed with coke.
That'll get near the top twenty.
Oh...and Will Pitt is the Bob Schrum of our time...
"My theory is this. The pollsters were actively trying to influence the elections by making it seem that Kerry had ALREADY won."
What is funny is that it had the opposite effect. We went into high gear making phone calls encouraging people to vote. Most of the people I spoke to were very determined to cast their vote for Pres. Bush. It was so cool having the people you call give you the pep talk.
Wait a minute...isn't their anus part of their moon...I'm confused, but have no desire to dwell on the subject.
? emphasis on the first syllable or second? I'm guess second.
That "wonder" is NO.
Dude...if the Moon were rising with Uranus, all would be in order.
There is no order in DUmmie land.
Hee-hee! Good to see you at any speed! Hi!
top 50 from an aeroplane, no less ;)
Certainly was the case. Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh were on the radio saying don't believe the poll and described how it was an unbalanced sample of voters.
It was a last minute attempt to further make up the news (as happened repeated in the 2004 election, including the forged National Guard memos). The lead 7 minutes of the election coverage ON ALL 3 networks after the polls closed was "Well, Bush lost this election for the same reason as his father, the economy..." Then they realized that their script was obviously wrong.
When they cooked the books on polling figures, they forgot to keep a true accounting so they knew how much they'd still have to make up in knock and drag or dead voter efforts.
? emphasis on the first syllable or second? I'm guess second.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In addition to the trio of high school pitchers announced last week, the Lipscomb baseball team adds two more prepsters to the 2014 roster as Cameron Bair and Hunter Hanks have signed national letters of intent.
After hitting .380 as a junior, Hanks was named to the Times Union All-First Coast team. The middle infielder from Macclenny, Fla., added eight doubles, 20 RBI and 26 runs scored last season for Baker County High School. Along with solid offensive stats, Baker committed only three errors last season at shortstop for the Wildcats.
"Hunter is an extremely athletic middle infielder," said Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand. "His addition gives us another quality defender with top of the lineup speed. As Hunter gets stronger physically, his talent is limitless."
An all-district standout for Columbia Central High School, Bair will join the cast of Lipscomb backstops.
"Cameron is an extremely talented and physical catcher," said Forehand. "It has been a pleasure watching him develop over his high school career. His left-handed bat and ability to play first base gives him an opportunity to contribute early in his career."
The Bisons will wrap up the 2014 signee announcements later this week.
