Obama may have campaigned in 2008 as the candidate who would return us to the Clinton era, when terror attacks were deemed crimes suitable for civilian prosecution rather than acts of war fit for military response. As president, though, Obama has authorized hundreds more drone attacks than did his supposedly war-mongering predecessor. In addition, he has dramatically extended the frontiers of the campaign, which now include not only Pakistan and Yemen but also a vast swath of the Maghreb.
Let's put aside for the moment that, had George Bush done something like this, only the peal of impeachment bells would have silenced the media outrage. The pertinent question is: Who are the targets of this alleged covert war?
Yes, there are heinous jihadists in Mali, Algeria, Libya, Sudan, Eritrea, Somalia, and other African badlands. The problem is that the vast majority of them had nothing to do with 9/11 and their connections to al-Qaeda are murky at best. The problem is that, while some of them approve of al-Qaeda's worldwide jihad, most of them lack the means, and many the desire, to attack the United States. Thus, according to at least some knowledgeable military and intelligence veterans, our drones are catalyzing threats against the United States that would not otherwise exist.
Do not get me wrong. We have seen the wages of abiding safe havens for al-Qaeda. In Afghanistan and Sudan, the network set up shop, trained recruits, and convinced many who'd been aggrieved locally to terrorize globally. When al-Qaeda and its affiliates establish these redoubts, as they are now trying to do in northern and eastern Africa, they plot mass-murder attacks against the United States and American targets throughout the world. That is why we must not allow that to happen anyplace. Naturally, we do not want to make the threat against us worse than it is. But ignoring it is not an option. The logic of jihadist ideology is global aggression, even if many of its adherents are not quite so ambitious . . . at least for the time being. We are therefore better off striking jihadist strongholds than refraining from striking them. The additional enemies we may inspire are more than offset by those our resolve discourages.
So President Obama is right to want our extraordinary military capabilities trained on emerging jihadist hubs — and I applaud him for recognizing that effective national security need not entail extravagant nation-building projects that do not make us safer. But to have legitimacy, drone attacks and other special-operations initiatives against our jihadist enemies must be authorized by Congress. The Constitution calls for war to be waged by the commander-in-chief, but it must be approved by the sovereign — and that is not the president. It is the American people, acting through their representatives in Congress.
Congressional authorization is not just what our law demands, it is what sound policy dictates. Under the Obama administration's unilateral approach to war, on some days we are targeting jihadists in Abbottabad and in villages along the Gulf of Aden, while on other days we are somehow aligning with jihadists in Benghazi and Cairo (and maybe Aleppo).
The end of the war in Afghanistan is far from the end of the threat to America. It is past time to specify who the enemy is. It is past time to make clear that, while we have no desire to occupy foreign lands, we are resolved — as a nation, not just as a presidential administration — to pursue and defeat our jihadist enemies, wherever they are and however long it takes.

Over 5,000 delegates to the Bharatiya Janata Party's annual national council meeting will gather at Indore on February 18 and 19, to ratify the election of Nitin Gadkari as party president, authorise him to appoint his team of office-bearers, reconstitute important party panels, and, hopefully, help find a new direction for the BJP, which suffered a debacle in the 2009 Lok Sabha polls.
Preceding the two-day session is a daylong meeting of the national executive committee, comprising 200-odd members, where the agenda for the council and resolutions would be finalised. It seems the leadership has decided to focus on price rise and security issues related to Kashmir, naxalism, Pakistan and China in the context of the political situation in which the BJP as the main Opposition has yet to find its feet.
To try and connect to the aam aadmi, the party brass have decided to stay in a tented township, named after the former president Kushbhau Thakre, being readied in a 90-acre area on the outskirts of the city, BJP vice-president M.A. Naqvi said.
Mr. Gadkari's new mantra for the BJP is 'Politics for development.' While its ideological issues relating to Hindutva are not to be forgotten, the effort would be to look hard at issues that concern the people and are in line with their aspirations. The party is especially worried that a large chunk of its urban middle-class support base seems to have shifted its loyalty to the Congress, and the view is that an effort must be made to correct this situation.
As one party leader put it on Saturday, after a long time some new and younger faces on the podium will mark the generational change in the BJP. Along with Mr. Gadkari, Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley as leaders of the Opposition will get the top slots. L.K. Advani as the party veteran and chairman of the parliamentary party will, of course, continue to enjoy an eminent position.
The outgoing president Rajnath Singh and the former presidents Murli Manohar Joshi and M. Venkaiah Naidu will also be given due importance.
Mr. Gadkari has let it be known that he does not like the idea of opposition for opposition's sake. He does not see it as the duty or obligation of the Opposition to oppose everything the government does. Perhaps he is acutely aware that when Mr. Advani ran the party's parliamentary strategy from 2004 to 2009, the main tactic was to stall Parliament on any possible excuse. That clearly proved counter-productive.
At that time, the party's criticism of the government's handling of terrorism was reduced to the demand that the Prevention of Terrorism Act be brought back. Contrary to that strategy, at the recent Chief Ministers' conference, delegates from the BJP-ruled States paid handsome compliments to Home Minister P. Chidambaram on being quick to respond to States' demands related to security issues.
One leader said the party might be forced to "think beyond caste politics" that has influenced its strategy for decades with diminishing returns, especially in the Hindi heartland States.
Would the BJP emulate Rahul Gandhi's tactics? The answer was a resounding "No," but party leaders admit that things might be changing in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, and the BJP must be ready to revise its strategy accordingly.
The three-day conclave is to end with a public rally where the party, to use Mr. Naqvi's words, will "blow the conch" to herald the "political struggle against anti-people policies of the UPA government."

Short poem treating concisely, pointedly, and often satirically a single thought or event and often ending with a witticism or ingenious turn of thought. By extension, the term applies to a terse, sage, or witty (often paradoxical) saying, usually in the form of a generalization. Writers of Latin epigrams included Catullus and Martial. The form was revived in the Renaissance. Later masters of the epigram have included Ben Jonson; François VI, duke de La Rochefoucauld; Voltaire; Alexander Pope; Samuel Taylor Coleridge; Oscar Wilde; and George Bernard Shaw.

I got down to 193, but after i lost self control and my gained 12lbs. My ticker didn't budge however, and every time I saw it I felt a little guilty for lying, but I kept saying: "That's okay, it's just a number, and at one point I REALLY did lose that much weight and gaining weight can't change the fact that at one point I lost {insert number} of pounds." Some ppl leave their low weight on the ticker for motivation and others don't want to face the set back. How about you? :kickbutt:

Some sports television broadcasting highs and lows on a day the Green Bay Packers won a game in a dome:
High: Chris Mortensen of ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" provided a fetching report about Hall of Fame defensive end Deacon Jones, whose number was retired during a halftime ceremony at the Edward Jones Dome, the home of the St. Louis Rams.
"Rams players got an earful from Jones Saturday when he delivered a colorful, expletive-laced pep talk about kicking the Packers' rear ends," Mortensen said. "In Deacon's words, the Packers cost him two stinkin' Super Bowls when he played for the L.A. Rams. OK, he didn't use the word stinkin'."
High: You have to give a game ball to Chris Myers for a line he got off as he handled play-by-play of the telecast for Fox.
In the first quarter, the Rams were picking up where the Cincinnati Bengals left off - harassing and sacking Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers was sitting on the bench after being sacked for the second time in the game.
"Aaron Rodgers (has been) battered around like a Bernie Madoff piñata," Myers said. "He has been sacked 12 times this year."
Low: Near the end of the first half, Myers and his partner, former quarterback Trent Green, were shown at their perch in the dome. When Green realized the camera was on them, he shot out of the chair in which he was sitting to join his partner, who was already standing.
The awkwardness continued during the shot as a crew member wearing a headset appeared to order another crew member to crouch behind Myers and Green, not realizing the camera angle was showing it all. What a mess.
Low: Maybe Green was speaking in some sort of quarterback Zen language not easily understood by outsiders.
But to these ears, he was just using messed up diction.
On a replay of a run by the Packers' Ryan Grant in the second quarter, Green said: "Here Grant sees the vision." Or in the fourth quarter on a replay of a play by Rodgers, Green said: "Good job by Rodgers seeing the vision that he has."
High: "The NFL Today" host James Brown performed a public service during the first highlight from the San Francisco at Minnesota game.
"Cover your eyes, Packers fans," Brown said before the first update from the game.
The highlight showed Vikings quarterback Brett Favre throwing a touchdown pass to Sidney Rice.
High: "The NFL Today" analyst Bill Cowher made a surprising observation about the NFL, surprising because Cowher coached the Pittsburgh Steelers to a Super Bowl championship behind the running of Jerome Bettis.
"The game has changed," Cowher said. "The rules have changed. I think right now, I hate to say this, but the running game is a complement. It's not the foundation that it once was. You look at the last three AFC teams that were in the Super Bowl, that's Pittsburgh, New England and Indianapolis. They're all passing teams. The running game is a complement."
Colleague Dan Marino, who passed his way into the Hall of Fame, disagreed with Cowher.
"Coach, do you have a fever?" Marino said. "Listen, I can't believe it. You're the purist, run guy always. The Giants a couple years ago were a running football team; they won the Super Bowl. And I think if you look around the league, I have to disagree with you."
High: Charley Casserly of "The NFL Today" said Vikings running back Adrian Peterson literally is going to run into trouble if he doesn't change.
"The way he runs, his running style, I think he's putting himself in a position to have a serious injury," Casserly said.
As a video clip ran, Casserly said over it: "Watch here as he lowers his head and uses it as a battering ram to take on the defenders. Appears to me what he ought to do, when he takes on a defender, put a move on him. If that doesn't work, get out of bounds or take the blow with his shoulder.
"Here are the three things I think he's putting himself at risk for: No. 1, by lowering that head, you have a concussion; No. 2, he's got an elongated neck and I think he has a greater potential than the average player for a stinger; and finally, if he lowers that head any more he's got a potential for a cervical spine injury."

October 25 is the Feast Day of Saints Crispin and Crispian, twin brothers said to have been martyred for their belief. They were said to be leather workers; they are the patron saints of that craft.
The day is remembered more for the play by Shakespeare, Henry V, which contains one of the most famous declamations in all literature.
The speech is given before the Battle of Agincourt, 1415, where Henry's force of less than 200 men crushed the French force numbering in the thousands, affecting the course of European history for centuries:
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
[Portion deleted]
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day."
The newly "invented" long-bow, which owes its effectiveness to the unique characteristics the English Yew, was a decisive factor in the battle.
For historians this day also marks The Charge of the Light Brigade - for which the speech seems ironically fitting - and the Battle of Leyte Gulf, one of the critical naval battles of the WWII Pacific Theater.
From time to time it is helpful to recall these things.

Having a broken heart can really overwhelm you and can destroy your life if you don't know how to handle it. How to mend a broken relationship? You can follow these five simple steps to get over your broken heart.
When you are suffering from broken heart, you must understand that everyone else experience the same amount of pain, the way you are suffering right now. Though every heart break is unique to every person, the pain is pretty much the same to everyone else.
As a matter of fact, there's a saying that this is just the normal rite of passage. However, you don't want to deal with this helplessly. There are so many ways that you can do to make the pain a lot more bearable.
Listed below are the five easy steps on how to mend a broken relationship.
Stop blaming yourself
Try to understand that you are in a terrible situation when you are experiencing from a broken heart. At this point, when you keep blaming yourself, you are just making everything worse.
The pain will become more intense and more painful when you keep thinking about the break up rather than finding a solution. Try to understand that every person has a weakness and that includes you and your partner. Accept all the mistakes you have done and try to avoid them as much as possible in the future.
Try to think of your ex the way you think of them in the past
When suffering from breakup, you can easily think of your ex in a completely different person. Inside your mind, you will picture your ex in a new and different person. You may think them on either the negative or positive aspects that they may have. Like your ex may become an angel while you on the other hand is the devil or the other way around. Picture your ex who they really are.
Try to adjust all of your expectations
Most of the time, people get into a relationship with lots of expectations that in reality can't be attained. This normally leads to lots of frustrations and disappointments.
Try to find out if you're expecting too much on the relationship. By this, you must try to change your perception entirely. You must try to give more and expect less if you want both of you to walk on a clearer road ahead.
Do something to keep yourself busy and divert your attention
When you feel excited on something that you enjoy doing, the pain will become less. Participating in some activities, you will have no time in being gloomy focusing the heartbreak. This is the time to make your dreams a reality.
Go out on a date once again
When you're out on a date with someone else, your attention is being diverted. This can really help you lessen the pain and get your mind off from the painful break up. But never fall for that someone easily and be trapped in a rebound relationship. It will make things more difficult for you to handle.
Try to consider these five tips, it can really help you move on and answer that question how to mend a broken relationship and start living your life in a new direction.Similar Posts:

Good Points
Waterproof therefore lasts, adds a little volume, cheap.
Bad Points
Doesn't do what it says i.e. it clumps and doesnt volumeise very well. Runs out quick.
General Comments
I got the waterproof Maybelline Volume Express, I found this mascara disappointing, it added some volume but not any more special than any of my others, it also clumped a LOT whereas I have had no trouble with clumping previously and this was the one mascara I've bought promising no clumps ! I found this mascara ran out extremely quickly (lasted a month of regular but not everyday use) so maybe it wasn't very good value for money after all.

5 Signs That This One Isn't "The One" ... even when your heart says it is
They talk about their lives and their partners, yes, but there is nothing really to say about the relationship, because it works. People in unhappy or mediocre relationships complain, analyze, and seek input on their relationship and their partner from others all the time. They spend more time talking about their mate – what he's doing, what she's not – than they do on sharing themselves and their own lives.
4. Your Happiness Gauge says so. One of the most telling questions you can ask yourself is, "Am I happy?" It's really simple to answer, yes or no, and it's hard to lie. If your answer is No or if it goes something like, "Well, sometimes, but then other times, blah blah blah…" something is up with your choice in a mate. If you are not happy, you owe it to yourself to take three actions: 1. Determine what you really want from your life. 2. Determine what you really want from a partner. 3. Tell your partner what you want first for your life, then from a partner, and then ask "Can you and will you be that partner?" They will tell you the truth. It's your job to listen.
5. You're fights are not fair. Yes, all couples fight, but if your fights are of the dramatic and hurtful type, no matter how much your heart says you love 'him' or 'her' your heart has to love you more. Unfortunately, we can still love someone and be in an abusive or toxic relationship, and verbal, emotional and mental abuse counts. You have to respect yourself enough to demand respect from your partner. And, if you aren't getting that respect, or giving that respect back, there's something unhealthy going on. You have two choices – fix it with therapy and counseling – together and separate – or end the relationship.
The reason so many of us stay in relationships even though they don't make our lives better or don't help us to create the lives we really want is not because we are afraid to face the truth, it's because we are afraid to face the consequences of the truth – being alone, admitting that we've made a mistake, hearing what other people will say or think – so we use love as a reason to stay. Do yourself a favor, and start first with the love you have for ME… listen to what you are saying to yourself, to what you need… and then determine if this relationship and this person is 'right' for you.

Combine the chocolate pieces, nuts (if using), butter, and vanilla in a large heatproof bowl. Set aside.
Place the marshmallows, sugar, and evaporated milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Continuing to stir, boil for exactly 6 minutes.
Remove from the heat and immediately pour the marshmallow mixture into the chocolate mixture; beat constantly until creamy. Quickly pour into the prepared pan or platter, pushing slightly with the back of a wooden spoon to spread the fudge evenly.
Cool for at least 1 hour before cutting into pieces. Serve at room temperature.

This classic 80's Chevy Camaro was parked in the office car park a couple of days ago. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a shot of it as you don't see them very often.

We recently experienced some images that had failed to be expired on their own due to the known bug in 6.5 that won't expire old 5.1 images from disk and it reminded me how very important it is to do your homework when taking drastic steps such as this. As we all know, once you use bpexpdate to get rid of an image, the only way to get it back is to import the tape(s). Before expiring those images, even if it is just one, use bpimmedia and bpimagelist to document what the images are and where they reside.
I find with this, Do your home work before playing with catalog images.

Abbreviation 'GP' for tournament type
I was looking at the ATP website and was looking at some old match results from the 90's for certain big name players of today. I saw some abbreviations in match results for the type of tournament being played in such as:
FU = Futures CH = Challenger GP = ? Anyone know what "GP" stands for? The only thing I could find with Google's help was the old "Grand Prix" tour, but that name died in 1989 from what I read - that's when it became the ATP Tour. Anyone know what 'GP' stands for? |

'Fiscal Cliff' Disputes Remain as Deadline Nears
"One thing we can count on with respect to this Congress is that if there's even one second left before you have to do what you're supposed to do, they will use that last second," the president said in a mid-afternoon status update on the talks. Yet when the roll was called nearly 12 hours later, only six Republicans and two Democrats opposed the measure.
As darkness fell on the last day of the year, Obama, Biden and their aides were at work in the White House, and lights burned in the House and Senate. Democrats complained that Obama had given away too much in agreeing to limit tax increases to incomes over $450,000, far above the $250,000 level he campaigned on. Yet some Republicans recoiled at the prospect of raising taxes at all.
Democratic senators said they expected a post-midnight vote on the measure. They spoke after a closed-door session with Vice President Joseph Biden, who brokered the deal with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell.
"The argument is that this is the best that can be done on a bipartisan basis," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., when asked about the case the vice president had delivered behind closed doors.
Passage would send the measure to the House, where Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, refrained from endorsing a package as yet unseen by his famously rebellious rank-and-file. He said the House would not vote on any Senate-passed measure "until House members â¿¿ and the American people â¿¿ have been able to review" it. Numerous GOP officials said McConnell and his aides had kept the speaker's office informed about the progress of the talks. The House Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, issued a statement saying that when legislation clears the Senate, "I will present it to the House Democratic caucus." Without legislation, economists in and out of government warned of a possible recession if the economy were allowed to fall over a fiscal cliff of tax increases and spending cuts.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Libyan cop in Benghazi kidnapped
(Read article summary)The kidnapping of the head of the criminal investigations department in Benghazi, where four US officials were killed last year, is a reminder of how tough Libya's transition remains.
Cairo, Egypt
Abdelsalam al-Mahdawi, the head of Benghazi's criminal investigation department, was kidnapped on his way to work today by gunmen at an intersection in Libya's second largest city.
Benghazi was the heart of the uprising against Muammar Qaddafi in 2011, and since then it has failed to bring the militias that fought on the side of the revolution – some Islamist, some not – under any kind of government control. They remain armed and often a law unto themselves in the city. Criminal gangs, spawned from militias, are also at work.
The list of potential suspects is long, particularly since Mr. Mahdawi's personal background isn't immediately clear. Was he someone who served Mr. Qaddafi's regime at one point, and is being targeted for revenge? Could it be a personal or family dispute? Could his investigations of militias and/or criminals be the reason for his kidnapping? A simple matter of kidnap-for-ransom? All are possible.
But what's likely is that sorting out what's happened to him will be confusing, subject to completing claims, and difficult for any neutral observer trying to get at the truth to figure out. That's been the pattern in violent incidents in Benghazi not just since the war ended, but before.
The attack on the US facility in Benghazi in September that left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead is still not fully understood. Meanwhile, today's assault is the second attack on a senior police official in Benghazi since November, when Benghazi police chief Farraj al-Dursi was assassinated outside his house. Mr. Dursi, who served under Qaddafi's government, was appointed police chief during a shuffle of security in the city after the attack on the Americans in September.

September 8, 2014 - Recently, the news has been reporting about an increase in the number of children in the Midwest who are being hospitalized due to complications from a viral infection (Enterovirus D68). Click here to read the District's recent article on the subject or click here to visit the CDC's website.
Our goal is to provide a safe and healthy environment for your child. Staff is available at every school to assist students with health needs and dispense medication as needed per doctor's prescription and parent instructions. Your school can provide you with their health and medication procedures.
Immunizations Oregon state law requires that students have received appropriate vaccinations for school entry. To view the State of Oregon's complete list of Immunization and Dosage Requirements, click here.
Kindergartners and other students new to the District will not be allowed to start school without the required immunizations.
School administrators are required to exclude from school those students not having proof of at least one dose of each of the above-noted immunizations. The only exceptions are those children who have health problems that would prevent them from receiving the inoculations and those whose religious teachings oppose immunizations.
Immunization Exclusion Day - annual date designated by the State Health Department - when students without complete immunizations or exemptions are sent home and not allowed to return to school until the requirements are completed.
Beginning March 1, 2014, there is a new process parents must follow to claim a non-medical exemption and opt out of required immunizations for school. Senate Bill 132A requires that parents who would like to claim non-medical exemptions must submit a document showing either:
An informational flyer about the new regulations is provided here and a Q&A document is available here.
Getting Immunizations Immunizations may be obtained from your medical provider. Also, the Washington County Health & Human Services (HHS) Department operates several clinics that offer a variety of services, including immunizations. Please visit the Washington County HHS web site or contact them at (503) 846-4955 for more information about services and locations.
Below are some guidelines to help you make the decision about when to keep your child home from school. The recommendations are based on the guidelines provided by the Communicable Disease Program of the Washington County Department of Health and Human Services. They were developed to help prevent the spread of potentially contagious disease.
Home is the best place for a child who is ill. If your child is sick with a diagnosed communicable disease, please notify the school as soon as possible. This notification will greatly assist others who, due to medical reasons and/or treatments, have weakened immune systems and may require immediate and specialized care.

The Classifieds: Scilla guilds rally for breast cancer awareness {WoW}
Oct 7th 2010 11:02AM , of Scarlet Crusade-A, also did something similar this past week and did a Gnome Race for the Cure. Everyone was required to have a pink haired gnome, and the guild they set up also had a pink tabard. There were well over 150 individuals in attendance from many different servers, and together they raced from the gnome starting zone all the way to Booty Bay, where they then coordinated a screenshot of the pink ribbon commonly used to represent breast cancer awareness. Together, they've raised over $250 for the Susan G. Komen foundation.
I'd say that's classified worthy as well.

Little Guy Takes Huge Strap-On With Ease
It's the perfect partnership: shaved pussy and dominating black slut Alana loves to drill petite white guys in the ass, and Andre loves to take it! Andre really can't wait to get Alana's large toy in his ass, riding the dick in reverse cow boi while his semierect cock and balls flop around. Alana has never seen a little guy take her largest toy so easily, and with so little lube! Soon Andre's ass juices are flowing out around the dildo, dribbling all over Alana's shaved black pussy lips. The horny couple finish the scene with some mutual oral, with Andre licking Alana's pussy while she licks Andre's ass juices off the filthy strap-on.

A robust public option is needed
If someone says, "Government is the problem, not the solution" don't vote for him or her. It's a simple statement that needs qualifying, not one to build a political philosophy on.
If it were not for government, we would still be subservient to kings, emperors and pharaohs, with little distribution of wealth.
As far as health care is concerned, if American government is so big and bad, so bloated, inefficient and wasteful, why can't the lean, efficient and the so highly productive insurance industry compete with it?
A robust public option is consistent with the Hippocratic oath but remember: As long as one percent of the population owns more than the bottom 95 percent, the right-wing propaganda will not abate.
From the think tanks in D.C. to the daily squawk of parrots in our beloved Valley, it will continue despite the fact that we have elected a progressive majority.
It is important that a majority sustain a liberal education.

Obama has awakened a sleeping giant
Barack Obama being elected president of the United States has been the best thing that has happened to the U.S. in recent years.
We had become basically a non-political country; people not really caring or paying much attention to politics or what was going on in Washington. He has tried way too hard to get too much changed, and since this is a right-of-center country it isn't going well.
Guantanamo has been a fiasco, the stimulus has been a fiasco, health-care reform isn't going anywhere, cap-and-trade is on the table, he dithers on Afghanistan, and now he has pulled a major gaffe by trying to exclude Fox News from White House briefings. Even CNN and NBC thought this was just crybaby stuff.
So now America is awake, and not liking the Chicago-style of governing this administration is offering. If McCain had been elected we would be still operating as if the government was kind of all right.
Barack Obama has awakened a sleeping America, and it is all for the better. He would not be elected today since it was moderate Americans who unwittingly elected him by listening to his "change-and-hope" rhetoric. Well, he has tried to do too much and I am happy for that. Now is the time for all of us to get politically active, and to take this country back from the 12-percent-approval Congress we keep electing, and from the environmentalists who have played a large role in destroying our economy.
We need to be aware that when we send our children to college that most — 87 percent has been reported — of the professors are openly liberal. We need to get proactive about our future, and the futures of our children.
I watched this last election, and the Obama people put on a better campaign here in Walla Walla than the Republicans did. We are actually a conservative area, one that is full of producers rather than entitlement people, and yet we still put on a pretty bad showing.
I'll admit that McCain didn't fire us up much, but at last now Barack Obama and Rahm Emmanuel have. Our first task is getting rid of Patty Murray in 2010.

Put tax dollar into streets, not buses
Some 30 years ago voters decided to tax all to sustain a bus service that served a minuscule percentage of the population.
At that time over 90 percent of the operating costs were nothing more than government subsidies. Fares generated next to nothing to offset operating expenses.
Add to that large buses buzzing around the city practically empty and you have the formula for failure. Walla Walla's population density is far too low for a bus system to ever succeed.
To correct the financial failure of the enterprise, they are seeking to double the tax rate in the middle of a severe recession.
Personally, I would much rather see the transportation taxes devoted to street repair — benefitting far more people than buses. It's the only way to avoid becoming the pothole capitol of the state.

Keep the traditional Blue Devil
I'm writing in regards to the article on the front page of the U-B on Sept. 11 concerning the Wa-Hi Blue Devil.
As alumni of Wa-Hi, we are very concerned about the change wanted by some of our mascot Blue Devil. I graduated in 1954.
Supposedly, some Booster Club members are representing alumni who say "time is ripe for change." Not all alumni are wanting change! Nothing is wrong with the old Blue Devil.
We say as new students come into Wa-Hi each year, they should accept the old traditional Blue Devil. It's been around for many, many years. It is Wa-Hi!
The new design is a farce! It is a joke! Our old Blue Devil is not laughable! No change! Our traditional Blue Devil lives on forever!!

Valley has great nature locations
I appreciated the photographic tribute to the beauty of Bennington Lake by Greg Lehman in the new edition of Lifestyles.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and others have created a place of splendor only minutes from our doorsteps, and one of the Valley's greatest treasures. Acres of public land for hikers, bikers, runners, horses, hunters, canoeists, families and other user types. While it is the heart of an important flood control project, the area is a place of recreation and an oasis for waterfowl and wildlife.
Every time I am there, I am filled with gratitude for the foresight and efforts of many who have planned for, created, and maintain this gift.
Another location that welcomes many users is Harris County Park, with bikers, hikers, horses and motorized dirt-bikers using the trail up the South Fork of the Walla Walla River.
Yesterday, my husband and I took a trail ride there on our equine friends, Pearl and Pal. Even with the autumn chill in the air we met hikers on the trail, enjoying the incredible fall colors and the smell of damp pine needles.
A word of caution to bikers. Remember that however well-trained horses might be, when they are frightened their instinct is to run away from a threat, which sometimes results in serious trauma to the riders and even the horses.
I would like to publicly congratulate the very courteous dirt-bikers who shared the trail with us. These good riders took time to stop and turn off their engines before riding close to us, passed only when we were able to move well off the trail, rode slowly and quietly by us, and revved their engines only when well past.
To tell the truth, I don't like the smell of exhaust, but I'm more than willing to endure those moments when the experience is pleasant and cooperative.
It should be a high priority for all users of these public lands to follow trail courtesy, care for one another and enjoy the richness provided to us.

US needs health-care reform
After reading the fact-less letter from Mr. Lund in the Oct. 22 edition of the U-B, I felt compelled to write in for the first time to counter the falsehoods he is spreading for Faux News.
There is a health-care crisis happening in America and it is not because people are not paying for health insurance, it because people are dying as a result of a lack of health insurance. A study done by Harvard and published in the American Journal of Public Health states that 44,000 Americans die every year as a direct result of lack of health insurance.
One example, a Florida woman died earlier this month from swine flu. When her symptoms first began, she refused to go into the ER because she had no insurance. Once she was incapacitated, her friends dragged her in to the ER to get her treated; only it was too late. She died one week later. This is just one example of how lack of health insurance results in a persons' death.
Mr. Lund also stated that polls show obvious public support against the public option. This is patently false. In the most recent Washington Post/ABC poll, released Oct. 20, it shows strong support for the public option at 57 percent, while a recent CBS poll tabs this at 62 percent. That seems to be pretty favorable support for a public option in my estimation.
And finally, he states that "fools rush in." The last time I remember America rushing into anything was the Iraq conflict (war). Had we taken as long debating the merits of going to war as we have debating health care, we may have made a better decision.
Instead, according to CBO estimates, we have spent $1 trillion on war in Iraq and Afghanistan. This amount would pay for health care for every American for the next decade and a half.
But for some reason, health-reform opponents would rather spend the money on foreign wars to help foreign nations "rebuild" rather than domestic programs to help fellow Americans get access to basic health care needs.
Why do they insist on helping foreigners but not their fellow Americans? America needs health-care reform now!

Community garden takes root
Community gardens are an important way to help build local food security, increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and beautify and unite our neighborhoods.
Walla Walla has an opportunity to support a garden of its own at the corner of Rees Avenue and Sumach Street, where a new community garden is seeking gardeners for its opening next spring. Community members and sponsors are also needed to help develop the common areas of the garden, and to provide startup resources and ongoing support.
The use of the land has been donated by Whitman College to the North Main Area Neighborhood Association. Commitment to Community has been helping with neighborhood outreach, and Bob Biles, long-time area gardener and landscaper, is serving as volunteer garden master.
The garden will feature 30 individual plots, each 10-feet-wide by 20-feet-long, together with several common areas. Residents from Clinton to Colville streets and from Isaacs Avenue/Rose Street to U.S. Highway 12 will be given priority in plot assignments, though people from throughout the community are welcome and encouraged to apply. Gardeners will be encouraged to donate 10 percent of their produce to local food banks.
Applications for individual plots should be sent to Rees Sumach Garden, P.O. Box 1222, Walla Walla. Depending on availability, more than one plot may be assigned to a family. After Nov. 15, the first round of plot assignments will take place. Remaining plots will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
After plots are assigned, the association will be offering all members free gardening classes, as well as access to a listserve for sharing gardening questions and information.
The community garden has a Web site at reesandsumach.blogspot.com with application forms, more garden information, a list of specific needs and useful links to other community gardens and associations.
If you'd like more information on the garden, you can call me or e-mail email@example.com. We hope you'll help us make this effort a success, and that it will be encouraging to others.

No bailout for our seniors
No cost of living allowance — COLA — in 2010 for Social Security recipients and, very possibly, no increase in 2011.
Obama can throw billions of taxpayer dollars to the rich folks on Wall Street and provide billions of taxpayer dollars for all his other so-called stimulus programs.
Obama's health-care program is now estimated to exceed one trillion taxpayer dollars over a 10-year span. Obama is throwing taxpayer dollars in every direction except in the direction of retired senior citizens.
Senior citizens count on this modest increase every year just to keep up with rising living expenses, i.e, Medicare, Pacific Power, just to name a couple.
It seems as though Obama is starting to put the financial squeeze on our senior citizens. Perhaps Obama is getting a "running start" on his death panel for senior citizens.
