Bullying workshop Oct. 9 in Sioux City
Western Iowa Tech Community College is hosting Workplace Bullying: An Introductory Workshop Oct. 9 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The presenters are two of the leading U.S. advocates seeking to eradicate workplace aggression.
This is big time, the real deal, here in Iowa.
Gary and Ruth Namie wrote 'The Bully at Work: What You Can Do to Stop the Hurt and Reclaim Your Dignity On the Job' and founded the Workplace Bullying Institute. The institute mission is to raise awareness, lead public dialogue about health-endangering Workplace Bullying, and to create and communicate research-based solutions for individuals, employers and public policy makers. It is a nonprofit organization based in Bellingham, Washington.
Abbreviated course description
Workplace bullying is an insidious aspect of most contemporary work. For 20 years Europeans have researched it and passed laws to address it. It is an emergent American issue, attracting popular media and business press attention. Victims suffer. Employers suffer. Bullies inhibit productivity.
The fee is $10 for social work or human resources educational credit. There is no charge for general attendance but you must preregister. The morning program covers defining workplace bullying, why the silence, perpetrator tactics, profile of targets, impact on victims, costs to organizations and solutions. The afternoon session is clinical including predictable misdiagnoses and effective treatment strategies. Call (712) 274-6404 to register.
I talked to the workshop coordinator Monday. She has done little promotion; 90 people are registered. The limit is 225. That tells you how critical this issue and that Midwesterners want to know more.
A Sept. 2007 Workplace Bulling Institute survey
of more than 7,700 adults in the United States shows
• 37% of American workers have been bullied
• Bullying is 4 times more prevalent than illegal forms of harassment
• Employers worsen or ignore the problem
• 40% of the bullied targets quit their jobs
The Siouxland workshop is underwritten by grants from The Kind World Foundation of the Siouxland Community Foundation, The Waitt Family Foundation and The Waitt Institute for Violence Prevention.
Born in Sioux City and the son of a fourth-generation Iowa cattleman, Ted Waitt co-founded Gateway on his family's farm in 1985. He founded The Waitt Family Foundation in 1993 and the affiliate organization, The Waitt Institute for Violence Prevention, in 2005.
WIT and Sioux City---kudos.

text: Quickness of BattleQuickness Of BattleBullets whizzed by the air, the sounds they made could be easily heard as they passed by and crashed into walls. Shots continued to trek the dust-filled skies. Firing noises came from all directions. The cries and shrieks of people dying could be heard if close enough. After being shot, the wounds continued to ooze out blood, almost gushing out like a faucet running with water. Multiple soldiers continued to move in squads to certain locations, only to find themselves shooting back at what had been shooting at them. To those fighting, it seemed like a never-ending battle of bloodshed.The ones shot, happened to be lying down, their thoughts racing through their heads. It wouldnt stop till their heart stopped beating, they were covered in blood, and left to rot on the ground. Those left alive continued fighting, shooting at their adversaries with every piece of ammunition they had. Eventually, with the air filled with the smell of dead bodies, smoke, and blood.

I recently purchased both Gunline and Dembart checkering tools. On some I need to install the cross pin that holds the cutter head to the handle. The pins are too tight to press in easily. Is there a trick to this?

In the past people used brads(nails) to hold the heads on.
Just walking on the edge of of my grave.
Evidently there are tools called roll pin holders that are used to set these pins, and a roll pin punch used to drive them. I have a set ordered from Gunline.

Markets were red most of the day, and briefly the S&P 500 went green, but all closed in the red. The Nasdaq did take the brunt of the selling today. We all have come to know that Mondays are not particularly friendly to benchmarks. The action of the indexes lately can be confusing. Does it resemble consolidation or churning? I fell the former, as volume has been muted for some time. We managed a breakout today as IBN barely took out a 40.06 cup base trigger, and although I do not follow the small names, a small paper and packaging company BZ took out a 8.69 flat base pivot. FXE looks poised to test its 40 week MA just below 128, and see if prior resistance will become support there. That could put the risk trade back on, which has looked rather putrid as of late. Concerning risk I was looking at the tale of the tape with two copper plays and why it is imperative to buy strength. Dr. Copper had a nice move the second week of September, and FCX SCCO both benefited. A look at how they have fared recently clearly puts SCCO as the more energetic name. It is just 6% from its 52 week high, and reversed and closed in the black today, while FCX lingers 18% from its own 52 week high. It has liked the round number of 40 in the last few sessions however.
Stocks that can be bought as they take out the following specific triggers on firm trade are cup with handles PH 87.81, HAR 49.68, TROW 66.07, IVZ 26.35, ZION 21.77, PNC 67.14, BEN 128.30. Flat bases are GET 41.27, T 38.38, MRK 45.27, WMT 75.34, VZ 46.51, GPS 36.70, XXIA 16.50. Cup base is CVS 48.79, 3 week tight triggers are DK 27.51, HLSS 16.54, RMD 40.09.
Stocks that can be bought as they retest prior breakout triggers are ITW HUN MON. ITW broke out from a 58.36 flat base trigger back on 8/16. It has been trading very tightly since then, with HON DOV both acting well in the group. HUN broke out from a 15.05 cup with handle trigger from 9/11. It comes from the chemical group , with ASH EMN both acting well in the sector. MON broke away from a 89.83 flat base trigger on 9/19, and hails from the strong ag group, with CF AGU both displaying strength.

You sound like you don't think carbon emissions do any harm. I lived in Los Angeles County back when there were "smog alerts" because the air was SO BAD that you could smell it. From the high-ground the brown haze was so bad you couldn't see the tall buildings through it.
Ever since the emissions regulations were passed in California the smog levels have dropped to what they were in the 50's & 60's, yet the amount of cars on the road has substantially increased. What is the harm in trying to control or, better yet, stop our carbon emissions? Do you believe that carbon emissions are harmless? What about CFC's? And why are you so opposed to clean energy? |

Hear Coldplay's 'Midnight' Go Eurodisco Courtesy of Giorgio Moroder
Italo wizard remixes 'Ghost Stories' Balearic-techno showcase
Coldplay's "Midnight," from the band's upcoming Ghost Stories, might yet have a sublime dance remix in it. At a time when there's something of a bubble around producers plying R&B-seeped electronic dance music (see Rhythm & Snooze: From Sohn to Chet Faker, A Global Group of Artists Explore the EDM-R&B Axis), the British band has staked out a place that will be difficult for new jacks to top. "They've made the moon-eyed indie-dance set sound like amateurs," SPIN's Philip Sherburne has written. In part, that's thanks to work by electronic producer Jon Hopkins, at least according to liner notes cited on Wikipedia. But its also a logical extension of the band's 2011 album Mylo Xyloto, which at times on disc and in visuals offered a grinning, unabashedly cheesy embrace of rave signifiers. Now they've moved on to soundtracking the chillout room.
Giorgio Moroder, who's set to perform at Asheville, North Carolina's Moogfest when it kicks off later this week, takes "Midnight" back to a mythical European disco. The synth god (see SPIN's 2013 profile Giorgio Moroder: Back to the Future) fills in four-on-the-floor kicks, galloping bass, and vocoderized spoken word segments. Updating vintage Italo with maximal EDM elements, it's a canny genre exercise from the genre's best-known producer — brought back to fame with help from Daft Punk's Random Access Memories and recently remixing the Scarface theme, Haim, and his '70s muse Donna Summer. But as remixes go, it doesn't feel like it's time for Cinderella to turn back into a pumpkin just yet. There's still more "Midnight" to explore.
Ghost Stories is due out May 19 via Parlophone/Atlantic. "Midnight (Giorgio Moroder Remix)" is on iTunes now.
Here's Moroder speaking on Donna Summer:

text: I had a cerebral peduncle stroke about three years ago during two migraines. I didn't go to a neurologist until I realized that I still had three fingers and three toes that were still numb after three months. It was diagnosed by an MRI. Lately I have come to realize that my lack of balance and dropping things might be related to the stroke. Are there any other symptoms that I can expect to develop and what are the chances of it happening again?

From the general difficulty of simulating quantum systems using classical systems, and in particular the existence of an efficient quantum algorithm for factoring, it is likely that quantum computation is intrinsically more powerful than classical computation. At present, the best upper bound known for the power of quantum computation is that BQP is in AWPP, where AWPP is a classical complexity class (known to be included in PP, hence PSPACE). This work investigates limits on computational power that are imposed by simple physical, or information theoretic, principles.

Sitter space (AdS3) has motivated a great interest in tensor networks
among holographers. I discuss a way to promote this analogy to a
rigorous, quantitative, and constructive relation. A key quantitative
ingredient is the way the strong subadditivity of entanglement entropy
is encoded in MERA and in a holographic spacetime. The upshot is that
We introduce and systematically study an expansive class of "orbifold Higgs" theories in which the weak scale is protected by accidental symmetries arising from the orbifold reduction of continuous symmetries. The protection mechanism eliminates quadratic sensitivity of the Higgs mass to higher scales at one loop (or more) and does not involve any new states charged under the Standard Model.
An exciting and largely unexplored frontier in observational and theoretical cosmology is to understand the properties of the universe between 400,000 years and one billion years after the big bang. Notably, the first galaxies formed in this time period, perhaps a few hundred million years after the big bang. These galaxies strongly influenced the gas in their surroundings as well as the formation of subsequent generations of galaxies. The early galaxies emitted ultraviolet light and ionized "bubbles" of hydrogen gas around them.

Subdivision of the Neogene period according to the IUGS, as of July 2009. |
The Pliocene epoch (spelled Pleiocene in older texts) is the period in the geologic timescale that extends from 5.332 million to 2.588[1] million years before present.
The Pliocene is the second and youngest epoch of the Neogene period in the Cenozoic era. The Pliocene follows the Miocene epoch and is followed by the Pleistocene epoch.
The Pliocene was named by Sir Charles Lyell. The name comes from the Greek words πλεῖον (pleion, "more") and καινός (kainos, "new") and means roughly "continuation of the recent", referring to the essentially modern marine mollusc faunas.
As with other older geologic periods, the geological strata that define the start and end are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the epoch are slightly uncertain. The boundaries defining the onset of the Pliocene are not set at an easily identified worldwide event but rather at regional boundaries between the warmer Miocene and the relatively cooler Pliocene. The upper boundary was set at the start of the Pleistocene glaciations.
Contents |
In the official timescale of the ICS, the Pliocene is subdivided into two stages. From youngest to oldest they are:
- Piacenzian (3.600–2.588 Ma)
- Zanclean (5.332–3.600 Ma)
The Piacenzian is sometimes referred to as the Late Pliocene, whereas the Zanclean is referred to as the Early Pliocene.
In the system of North American Land Mammal Ages the Pliocene overlaps with two stages: the Blancan (4.75–1.806 Ma) and Hemphillian (9–4.75 Ma). In the system of South American Land Mammal Ages, the Pliocene overlaps with the Montehermosan (6.8-4.0 Ma), Chapadmalalan (4.0-3.0 Ma) and Uquian (3.0-1.2 Ma). In the Paratethys area (central Europe and parts of western Asia) the Pliocene contains the Dacian (roughly equal to the Zanclean) and Romanian (roughly equal to the Piacenzian and Gelasian together) stages. As usual in stratigraphy, there are many other regional and local subdivisions in use.
During the Pliocene epoch climate became cooler and drier, and seasonal, similar to modern climates.
The global average temperature in the mid-Pliocene (3.3 mya - 3 mya) was 2-3°C higher then today[2], global sea level 25m higher [3] and Northern hemisphere ice sheet ephemeral before the onset of extensive glaciation over Greenland that occurred in the late Pliocene around 3 mya.[4]The formation of an Arctic ice cap is signaled by an abrupt shift in oxygen isotope ratios and ice-rafted cobbles in the North Atlantic and North Pacific ocean beds.[5] Mid-latitude glaciation was probably underway before the end of the epoch. The global cooling that occurred during the Pliocene may have spurred on the disappearance of forests and the spread of grasslands and savannas.[6]
Continents continued to drift, moving from positions possibly as far as 250 km from their present locations to positions only 70 km from their current locations. South America became linked to North America through the Isthmus of Panama during the Pliocene, making possible the Great American Interchange and bringing a nearly complete end to South America's distinctive large marsupial predator and native ungulate faunas. The formation of the Isthmus had major consequences on global temperatures, since warm equatorial ocean currents were cut off and an Atlantic cooling cycle began, with cold Arctic and Antarctic waters dropping temperatures in the now-isolated Atlantic Ocean.
Africa's collision with Europe formed the Mediterranean Sea, cutting off the remnants of the Tethys Ocean. The border between the Miocene and the Pliocene is also the time of the Messinian salinity crisis.
Sea level changes exposed the land-bridge between Alaska and Asia.
Pliocene marine rocks are well exposed in the Mediterranean, India, and China. Elsewhere, they are exposed largely near shores.
The change to a cooler, dry, seasonal climate had considerable impacts on Pliocene vegetation, reducing tropical species worldwide. Deciduous forests proliferated, coniferous forests and tundra covered much of the north, and grasslands spread on all continents (except Antarctica). Tropical forests were limited to a tight band around the equator, and in addition to dry savannahs, deserts appeared in Asia and Africa.
Both marine and continental faunas were essentially modern, although continental faunas were a bit more primitive than today. The first recognizable hominins, the australopithecines, appeared in the Pliocene.
The land mass collisions meant great migration and mixing of previously isolated species, such as in the Great American Interchange. Herbivores got bigger, as did specialized predators.

In North America, rodents, large mastodonts and gomphotheres, and opossums continued successfully, while hoofed animals (ungulates) declined, with camel, deer and horse all seeing populations recede. Rhinos, three toed horses (Nannippus), oreodonts, protoceratids, and chalicotheres went extinct. Borophagine dogs went extinct, but other carnivores including the weasel family diversified, and dogs and fast-running hunting bears did well. Ground sloths, huge glyptodonts, and armadillos came north with the formation of the Isthmus of Panama.
In Eurasia rodents did well, while primate distribution declined. Elephants, gomphotheres and stegodonts were successful in Asia, and hyraxes migrated north from Africa. Horse diversity declined, while tapirs and rhinos did fairly well. Cows and antelopes were successful, and some camel species crossed into Asia from North America. Hyenas and early saber-toothed cats appeared, joining other predators including dogs, bears and weasels.

Africa was dominated by hoofed animals, and primates continued their evolution, with australopithecines (some of the first hominids) appearing in the late Pliocene. Rodents were successful, and elephant populations increased. Cows and antelopes continued diversification and overtaking pigs in numbers of species. Early giraffes appeared, and camels migrated via Asia from North America. Horses and modern rhinos came onto the scene. Bears, dogs and weasels (originally from North America) joined cats, hyenas and civets as the African predators, forcing hyenas to adapt as specialized scavengers.
South America was invaded by North American species for the first time since the Cretaceous, with North American rodents and primates mixing with southern forms.Litopterns and the notoungulates, South American natives, were mostly wiped out, except for the macrauchenids and toxodonts, which managed to survive. Small weasel-like carnivorous mustelids and coatis migrated from the north. Grazing glyptodonts, browsing giant ground sloths and smaller caviomorph rodents, pampatheres, and armadillos did the opposite, migrating to the north and thriving there.
The marsupials remained the dominant Australian mammals, with herbivore forms including wombats and kangaroos, and the huge diprotodonts. Carnivorous marsupials continued hunting in the Pliocene, including dasyurids, the dog-like thylacine and cat-like Thylacoleo. The first rodents arrived in Australia. The modern platypus, a monotreme, appeared.
The predatory South American phorusrhacids were rare in this time; among the last was Titanis, a large phorusrhacid that migrated to North America and rivaled mammals as top predator. Its distinct feature was its claws, which had re-evolved for grasping prey, such as Hipparion.[verification needed] Other birds probably evolved at this time, some modern, some now extinct.
Alligators and crocodiles died out in Europe as the climate cooled. Venomous snake genera continued to increase as more rodents and birds evolved. Rattlesnakes first appeared in the Pliocene. The modern species Alligator mississippiensis, having evolved in the Miocene, continued into the Pliocene, except with a more northern range; specimens have been found in very late Miocene deposits of Tennessee. Giant tortoises still thrived in North America, with genera like Hesperotestudo. Madtsoid snakes were still present in Australia.
Oceans continued to be relatively warm during the Pliocene, though they continued cooling. The Arctic ice cap formed, drying the climate and increasing cool shallow currents in the North Atlantic. Deep cold currents flowed from the Antarctic.
The formation of the Isthmus of Panama about 3.5 million years ago cut off the final remnant of what was once essentially a circum-equatorial current that had existed since the Cretaceous and the early Cenozoic. This may have contributed to further cooling of the oceans worldwide.
The Pliocene seas were alive with sea cows, seals and sea lions.
In 2002, astronomers discovered that roughly 2 million years ago, around the end of the Pliocene epoch, a group of bright O and B stars called the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association passed within 150 light-years of Earth and that one or more supernovae may have occurred in this group at that time. Such a close explosion could have damaged the Earth's ozone layer and caused the extinction of some ocean life (at its peak, a supernova of this size could have the same absolute magnitude as an entire galaxy of 200 billion stars).[7]

Fishing for 2 to 6 foot sharks requires a 10 to 12 foot fishing rod. A 6 to 8 foot rod will be at least 5' 7" to 7-foot rod rated at 50 pounds and metal alloy reel seats. For 8-foot sharks, you will want to order a 5 to 7 foot rod with a metal alloy reel seat with a minimum rating of 100 pounds. Other anglers have used surf rods and/or rod with roller guides. Thanks

He should have been cleaning the Princes boots after 'accidentally' knocking muddy water over them; but, that's for another story. Instead he allowed a cloth to do the cleaning itself...His head hit his pillow and he started drifting off, until something rather weird happened. His royal highness, Prince Arthur burst into his room, not looking quite himself. The cloth and his boots fell from the air and hit the floor with a thump. Merlin sprung out of bed, hoping that his master hadn't noticed that although, by the looks of things even if he had, he wouldn't remember by tomorrow. Or he would think it was a figment of his imagination.Arthur stumbled around the room, almost tripping up his own feet. He seemed to have no balance or sense of direction. "OH!"

Ark Bar Beach Resort is located right in the center on the white sandy Chaweng Beach and in the hub of all nightlife and shopping facilities. The hotel opened in summer 2009 and it is an excellent option for travelers who love to spend the day at the beach, sunbathing, reading or using one of the plenty of water sports option and later shop, wine and dine and continue to party at night. All our 327 rooms are nicely decorated and painted in different bright colors, are spacious and have a very modern yet cozy flair.
Ark Bar on Koh Samui is famous for its delicious food served in our restaurant right on the beach and for the regular beach parties since many years.
very very noisy with young Israeli s. we are also from Israel but the noise is not ok, you need to tell them not to hear so loud music and not shout in the middle of the night. Have an idea, to put lockers near pool for those who want to go to the sea but have things with them at the pool

I am not one who measures my ingredients a lot - I am more of the cook who chops and dumps into the pot!!!! So I apologize in advance if I am a little off with the amounts/measurements!!! I buy a lot of my produce fresh from a local stand - so for the green beans, I buy them in the green cardboard box like container. I am guessing there is about 4 cups in there?!?! This recipe can always be adjusted to taste and seasoning it is up to your imagination!!!Submitted by: BUBBABELLYBGONE

The trick to learning to like vegetables you hate is to disguise their appearance and flavor. Think about what it is you dislike about that particular vegetable. I asked Fred why he's anti-green beans. It turns out that he remembers the long, mushy canned beans from childhood. Step 1: Chop the beans into 1-inch pieces. Step 2: Change texture. Sauté them in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper on high heat until they're crispy on the outside and still slightly firm. Step 3: Change the flavor: Add pesto (with homemade lemony basil from the co-op) and an extra bit of parmesan cheese! Results: "Is this pasta?" Fred asks as I hand him a plate of beans.

They are a hit with everyone, every time I make them... even my picky picky picky people that I have to feed!

Hi all - Anyone out there who can tell me where I plug in a `beeper` / `buzzer` to my Crius SE board ?, for audio conformation of gyro calibration etc - And also, how do I get it to read my Lipo battery, for low voltage monitoring ? - I presume I will have to INPUT the Lipo voltage to the board somewhere, but where ? !

By default multiwii 2.1 has no buzzer, that means you may need to enable the buzzer by changing config.h and recompile + upload the code |

However, although the buzzer now reads fine for both calibration, (gyro & acc) & also gives audio beep for when switching my Tx Aux 1 & Aux 2 switches, (again, defined in config.h file) - but still wont give me any "Lipo low voltage warning" Of course, I know it wont do this, because the board needs to know what the flight battery voltage is !! - So still need to know how, or rather where, the Lipo +Ve can be `read` by the FCU - Now I know how to do this on a Kk2 FCU, but not on the Crius Se. ! I think the new (smaller) HK Crius AIO board gives pin / connection point "A8" as battery monitor, in the pin assignment files for this board, - but on the original Se board, no such point exists !. Anyway, thanks for you help but I need to still sove the problem, (if it can be solved that is !!) "Happy days still to come then !" Rgds DJ |

BTW, the `Baro` is not up to muh on a Crius board !, even in SW ver 2.1, (buts it better than Ver 1.9 !) - Again,the `MAG`notometer is not much better either, compared to an Arduino type board, but it does work, but you need high "P" values for it - My `Mag` `P` is around 22.5 on my 350 Quad, where as on my Arduino board, on similar machine, its `good to go` at only 8 or 9.5 for the Mag `P` value !

On KK2 I know it has a voltage divider, so the dedicated pin for voltage monitor on KK2 has two resistance with high impedance (guess over 100kOhm), that serve for bring ~20v input at around 3v ... the CPU can read analogue signals, that should be in the range 0 to 3.3V (or whatever Vref is fixed in the board, normally is 3.3v the Vref) Now, the AIO has multiple Ax pin (the analogue input pin) that could be used for detect the battery voltage ... but as far as I know there is no voltage divider on the board ... so ... you need to make a little "circuit" (two resistance in series) ... and connect the middle point to the designed pin For my taste it is too much troubles .... I have a timer on my TX, and this is perfectly fine for protect my Lipo ... else ... you can buy for few $ a low voltage alarm buzzer to plug on the balancing plug ... But ... yes ... if you do FPV and you have OSD telemetry, read the battery voltage, and why not, read the current consumption is a nice feature for FPV Tchuss e_lm_70 |

Thanks for your reply - You are obviuosly well into the electronics of these flight controllers then !, - As for me , well I`m just a good old electrics & programming sort of Guy ! - So even if I could make up a little external circuitry device, I would stillneed tot know where it would connect to on my Crius Se `std` board. Anyway, I will keep the search going for a simple solution as dont like to be `beaten` by things, but of course, if there is no dedicated input point, where the direct voltage of ones flight battery, can be applied, for the measuring flight battery voltgages level - `then there aint` ! - & it could be simple as that perhaps? However, I was begining to think the same about KK2 FCU, uintil some kind soul `out there` on the forums, put me right and now my KK2 reads my flight battery voltage to within tenths of a volt. Anyway, once again, thanks for your input & replies. DJ |

A thermostat is a programmable temperature control device which is very helpful in daily life. The main advantage of having a programmable thermostat over a common thermostat is that it can save energy and money as it automatically adjusts itself according to the climate.
Thanks for the example, by which I can learn more about this temperature control system. Thanks for the post.

Animal Love Lessons
Giraffes are unselfish.
I watched a mama giraffe in all of her long-legged glory pass down leaves to her little-legged baby. On two instances she went to feed herself but her baby nudged at her wanting to be fed so she handed her, her leaves. The baby then nuzzled with the mama giraffe in appreciation.

If Hillary had won the nomination I would have supported her, albeit begrudgingly, against McCain. I'd be lambasting McCain six ways from Sunday here on Capitol Hill Blue despite my anger at Hillary for running what I considered a nasty campaign.
McCain, not surprisingly is using this statement from Hillary in his latest ad:
"I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002." See video and note that the other Democrats shown praise McCain but only Clinton both praises him AND attacks Obama.
Here's a transcript"
CHYRON (narrator): John McCain is a Maverick. Just ask Democrats.
SEN. DASCHLE: He can work with Democrats on key issues whether it's campaign finance reform or tobacco policy. He's worked with us.
SEN. BIDEN: John McCain is a personal friend, a great friend and I would be honored to run with or against John McCain.
SEN. KERRY: I have enormous respect for him. He's a courageous, patriotic American who stands up for what he believes.
HOWARD DEAN: I admire Senator McCain greatly, he's one of the people we modeled our campaign over because he is very direct, very blunt, and nobody has to guess at what he's thinking.
SEN. FEINGOLD: I love John McCain, he's a great guy.
CHYRON: Even Barack Obama has praise for the maverick.
SEN. OBAMA: Since coming to Washington, I've believed that the right approach begins with the proposal put forward by Senator Lieberman and Senator McCain.
CHYRON: Let's let Hillary Clinton have the final say.
SEN. CLINTON: I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience he will bring to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.
CHYRON: John McCain – Country First
I can't see how some Hilary supporters are sitting idly by and and giving free rein to McCain, a man who would appoint Supreme Court Justices who would overturn Roe vs. Wade and is likely to make Bush the imperial president look like Woody Allen's tinpot dictator Gen. Emilio M. Vargas (Carlos Montalban)in "Bananas".
Worse, I can't see how they are aiding and abetting McCain by trying to undermine Obama.
