the byrd has flown from clinton's coop...maybe she will take back all of those nice things she said about him on her wva victory night...well, she probably didn't believe any of it anyhow
Now that is change!!
This is a bigger endorsement than most people think. To endorse Obama after such a lopsided Clinton victory is a strong message to West Virginia to take a harder look at who Obama is and swallow some of their preconceptions.
Why the heLL would the longest serving senator in US history support Obama when the people he supposedly represents overwhelmingly support Clinton? The people of West Virginia should be appalled by his endorsement of Obama.
Right on, Senator Byrd.
Have no doubt, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Joe Biden and all the other Democratic Party heavyweights are going to back Obama too.
Hillary is just trying to maximize her bargaining position now. She knows she cannot win, but she hopes that by winning as many delegates as she can she may be able to exact something from Obama. The question is what will she get?
I don't think she adds anything as the VP. Jim Webb would be a much stronger choice: a decorated veteran, former Secretary of the Army, a Southern working-class white man who won Virginia, a key swing state brings much more to the table than a woman from a safe Democratic state.
Will the Rev. Wright have anything more to say about the "U.S. of KKK A.", now that the old sheet-wearer Byrd is backing his old pal Barack? And what does the backing of Capitol Hill's biggest porker do to help bring about "hope" and "change"?
Thank you Robert Byrd. This is a BIG SLAP to the W.V and to the KKK Ranters on this Blog. Obama 08
All KILLARY IS DOING IS TO COLLECT MONEY TO PAY OFF HER 20 MILLION DEBT. BECAUSE SHE KNOWS THAT THERE ARE MORE STUPID, GULLIBLE AND RACIST PEOPLE WHO WILL SUPPORT HER TILL SHE DYES HER SKIN COLOR BLACK.
According to Wikipedia, Sen. Byrd is a former member of the Ku Kux Klan and voted against the Civil Rights Bill. Not to mention he is senile! This would be like McCain getting an endorsement from Gen. Giap!!!!! Time for "Senator Pork" to retire, since most of his constituency voted for Hillary and will vote for McCain.
When a former grand dragon of the kkk endorses a black man for president of the USA, It's another sign that the apocalypse is definitely upon us.
Thank God the Legacy of Clinton's Corruption and Lies and Scandals is dying.
hey you stupid boislong. don't you belong to that clan. are you slapping yourself.
By launching a war of aggression on the basis of lies and fabricated "intelligence," the Bush regime violated the Nuremburg standard established by U.S. and international law.
Extensive civilian casualties and infrastructure destruction in Iraq, along with the torture of detainees in concentration camps and an ever-changing excuse for the war, have destroyed the soft power and moral leadership that provided the diplomatic foundation for America's superpower status.
A country that is no longer respected or trusted and which promises yet more war isolates itself from cooperation from the rest of the world.
An isolated country is not a superpower.
A country that fears small, distant countries to such an extent that it utilizes military in place of diplomatic means is not a superpower.
The entire world knows that the United States is not a superpower when its entire available military force is tied down by a small, lightly armed insurgency drawn from a population of a mere 5 million people.
Neoconservatives think the United States is a superpower because of its military weapons and nuclear missiles. However, as the Iraqi resistance has demonstrated, America's superior military firepower is not enough to prevail in fourth generation warfare. The Bush regime has reached this conclusion itself, which is why it increasingly speaks of attacking Iran with nuclear weapons.
The United States is the only country to have used nuclear weapons against an opponent. If six decades after nuking Japan the United States again resorts to the use of nuclear weapons, it will establish itself as a pariah, a war criminal state under the control of insane people.
Any sympathy that might still exist for the United States would immediately disappear, and the world would unite against America.
A country against which the world is united is not a superpower.
Obama WE LOVE YOU!
He's a joke? Maybe Senator Byrd knows more than you do?
Ask yourself honestly, if Obama is such a lightweight, so inexperienced, such a racist/anti-Semite/whatever, then HOW COME SO MANY SERIOUS PEOPLE SUPPORT HIM?
Obama has been endorsed by more of his Senate and House colleagues than Clinton including the Chairmen of the Senate Judiciary, Intelligence and Armed Services Committees. All of the 6 other candidates for the Democratic Presidential nomination who dropped out of the race have endorsed Obama, not Clinton. He is supported by three former heads of the SEC, including the Chairmen under Reagan and Bush. Conservative Democratic Senator Sam Nunn. David Boren. Senator Amy Klobuchar. 10 US Admirals and Generals. Republican Senator Dick Lugar. Paul Volcker. Warren Buffett. Bill Clinton's first campaign manager. John Edwards. Robert Reich. Patrick Leahy. Ted Kennedy. John Kerry. Jay Rockefeller. Henry Waxman. Howard Berman. Caroline Kennedy. Lee Hamilton. Tom Daschle. Pat Moynihan's widow. Maria Shriver. Claire McCaskill. More female State Governors than support Hillary. Virginia Governor Tim Kaine. US Senator from Pennsylvania Bob Casey. NARAL Pro-Choice.
Do you really think you know more about Obama than they do?
West Virginia Voters Overwhelmingly Endorse Hillary!
Mr. Byrd, voters of WV are no fools. Please do not pretend to have more wisdom than several hundred thousand smart people of your state.
Actually, I would say that when a former grand dragon of the KKK can campaign for a man whose father was African, then I know that God is working through history. It is a sure sign that the civil rights struggle is bearing fruit. We've come a long way, baby, and there ain't no stoppin' us now.
Clinton blew the rock star to kingdom come in wva despite the fact that Tim Russert and all the other Obama lovers in the media proclaimed the race over
the byrd nomination means nothing
every tom dick and mary will be jumping on the bandwagon now to endorse this big crybaby
waaaa waaa waaa bush attacked me
waaa waaa waa leave my wife alone
Jay Rockefeller campaigned for obama in wva and obama got destroyed
this will do no good
oh by the way u can tell its election time a democrat is trying to scare seniors about social security
What a immature looser you are. Do you need anti depressant pills or a shot gun? you sound pathetic.
JT, I suppose when you get on a plane you prefer to rely on the wisdom of the passengers and elect a captain. And the janitor is just as capable of doing your brain surgery as the man with, God forbid, three degrees from some elite Ivy League school. Why should judges in West Virginia think they know the law when a good lynch mob has just as much wisdom as they do? And what them folks up in the hollers wants should govern what is good for the rest of the United States.
Obama IS AHEAD BY 20 POINTS. YEAH!!!!!!!!!
Wow, this is wonderful!
Marvelous - simply marvelous!!
Charges of racism should end from the Barack Hussein Obama campaign now that he has the Klan on his side. . .
Vote for Obama or we terrorize your wife and children with burning crosses!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!
An e-KKK man...now that's bringing people together...really? Nobama is really the right wing's ideal candidate?
You Obamatons keep obeying the chant...never mind the man behind the curtain, just keep watching the screen....
It is not about the "numbers"...Super delegates CAN and HAVE overridden numbers before...check your history idiots! Oh, that's right, you're the 80's kids...Reagan didn't allow Civics classes...DOH!
It's not about "white v. Black" men...spoken from a "typical white person"(Obama's quote for those if you idiots who are walking contradictions about race).
It IS about only having 18 months in the Senate...what is this, Affirmative Action for the Presidency?
It is about his policies looking more like Republican diatribe than help for middle or lower income Americans.
It is about arrogance (going to declare victory?), the fact that he has yet to win a significant DEMOCRATIC STATE....
It is about the fact that McCAIN IS FAR AHEAD IN THE NOVEMBER NATIONAL RACE....YOU HAVE LOST ALREADY....
IT IS ABOUT THE FACT THAT ...HILLARY IS AHEAD OF McCAIN IN THE NOVEMBER NATIONAL RACE...SHE IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S ONLY HOPE, OBAMAWAN!
Wonderful. A former Grand Wizard of the KKK is endorsing Obama. If the Demorat party isn't already a big enough joke, this just places in the pantheon of great jokes.
good god, people, how naive can you get? the superdelegates have for weeks been put on notice that they must, for the good of the democrat party, fall in lock step behind obama. quite simply, the dnc is incompetent, pelosi and dean are failures and the party recognizes that there will be racial turmoil and blood will run in the streets if obama doesn't emerge as the nominee. ladies and gentlemen, the dnc is collectively sh$tting in their pants at the thought of the certain rioting that would ensue. ultimately, this is nothing more than another form of appeasement - it's the only thing that democrats know how to do, and they can't even do it well. what pathetic losers, literally and figuratively.
RUK, I think it's you and your fellow Republicans who are soiling your underwear.
When you see the Democrats winning three Republican safe seats in Congress in a row.
When you see that your race-baiting fear-mongering campaign led by Dick Cheney and financed by the RNC failed in Mississippi, of all places, and Travis Childers defeated the Republican by 10%
When you see that Obama has raised three times as much money as McCain from over 1 million contributors. So much so that McCain has to break the campaign finance law that he sponsored just to try and stay even.
When you see that Obama has gotten 16 million votes and energized the entire Democratic base while your Republican base is profoundly disenchanted with your Republican nominee...then I think sir that the odor you detect might be emanating from your own seat.
Freedom from fear is a complete moron. Obama can do no wrong in your eyes. He is going to lose in November.
fff...actually methinks the odor is distinctly wafting into my space from your direction. it's rather insufferable and unmistakably democrat in nature, foul and putrid...
Once again, I challenge all you right wing nut jobs to put your money where your mouths are:
Intrade prices the chances of each candidate as follows:
Likelihood of being the Dem nominee
Obama 93%
Clinton 7%
Likelihood of being next US President:
Obama 58%
McCain 40
Clinton 4%
If you are really so smart and right in what you say, then you should bet the ranch on Intrade. Otherwise, admit that you really don't believe what you're writing on here.
RU Kidding me,
Right on. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Why don't you try arguing from facts, instead of name-calling?
Gotta love it, democracy is great. Just eat it republicans, we all had to sit still for 8 years while Bush finished butchering the presidency. Don't ask why - just respect it.
Oh, sorry I forgot. You all think faith is more important than facts.
If I believe there are weapons of mass destruction, then there must be.
If I believe Brownie is doing a heckuva job, then he must be.
If I believe the dollar should appreciate, then it must.
If I believe deficits don't matter, why then they don't!
If I believe the Republicans are the party of "individual accountability and "small government", then I don't need to actually hold anyone accountable or lay off any of the cronies to whom I have given government jobs.
If I believe I am a compassionate conservative, then I don't have to be compassionate or conservative.
fff, why don't you address the fact that the DNC is pulling every string it has to get this endorsement. Byrd is a devout racist and former KKK member. You absolutely cannot deny that the DNC is using everything it has to pressure superdels into voting for Obama in order to avoid race wars within the party.
If he helps Obama be the nominee, I'll just vote for McCain, that's all.
Byrd on the Iraq War Resolution:
"This is the Tonkin Gulf resolution all over again...Let us stop, look and listen. Let us not give this president or any president unchecked power. Remember the Constitution."
McCain on the Iraq War Resolution:
"Giving peace a chance only gives Saddam Hussein more time to prepare for war on his terms, at a time of his choosing, in pursuit of ambitions that will only grow as his power to achieve them grows."
Whose judgment do you trust? I'm with Senator Byrd!
Barack, dude, you sure know how to pick your endorsements!
On one side you have the good Reverend Wright: a racist and a bigot.
And on the other side you now have the good Senator Byrd: a racist and a bigot.
...and in the middle of these two pillars of the Democratic Party we have Obama, carefully polishing his image. You should be careful who you hang with Barack, 'cause some stains just don't come off.
Thanks for that great insight Courtney. Next time I want a stripper to lecture me while giving me a lap dance, I'll know who to call.
First of all, I think it is untrue that Senator Byrd is "a devout racist".
I am reading a book right now on my Amazon Kindle, The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, which I highly recommend. Just came to the passage in which it says 1/3 of all white men in Indiana belonged to the KKK, for example. A lot of Americans did, sadly. It's a part of our history. A fact.
But a lot has changed in Senator Byrd's lifetime. Just as George Wallace changed, Senator Byrd has evolved his views. Abraham Lincoln had racist opinions in 1850. That doesn't mean he was a racist in 1865, or that he would have been a racist in 2008. I guess I believe (and I think it is a core belief of Christianity) that people can change.
Secondly, I dispute your characterization of what the DNC is doing. I am a middle-aged white man who has always supported Obama. It's not about race for me. It's about the best candidate for the Presidency. When you look at the list of people endorsing Obama, I believe that they are for the most part men and women of integrity, intelligence and good judgment. I don't think there is anything sinister in what they are doing. They see that Obama has played by the rules, and is winning by the rules that were written, in part, by the Clintons. That is why they are supporting him.
pearls before swine...
4:00 what do you mean you had to sit still for 8 years? wasn't there an election after w's first term? didn't he win it? doesn't that mean that democrats as well as republicans voted for him? you all belly-ached that he 'stole' the first election but then, enough of you voted for him the second time and he won again. i'm pretty sure many of us across the isles won't be sorry to see him go, but he isn't running this time, so the bush presidency is basically irrelevant. but the dems can't let it go; you are so obsessed with your hatred of bush that you're not even rationally considering why you want obama, you're just casting your vote against bush.
Plus I think it is ironic, to say the least, after all the incredibly racist, bigoted comments on this blog about Barack (including frequent use of the N word and other code slurs) that those opposed to Obama are suddenly shocked! shocked!! that a former racist supports him. As if that makes Obama a racist too!!
(But sharing a platform with someone who calls a demonstrator a macaca or appearing at a university that bans inter-racial dating doesn't make you a racist...)
Obama is winning, no matter how you slice it. Be good sports now, all you haters, the American people are electing Obama, no one else...People are finally exercising their right to vote because they actually feel inspired. United we stand - it's the will of the people that this man is the nominee.
Republicans will rationalize anything - anything - in their deluded universe of spin. Were Byrd a Republican with the same background, and endorsing McCain, the Republican tools in this blog would be waxing philosophical about his service and statesmanship, etc. Spinners extraordinaires, they are, in their deluded little ballet with their miserable monkey of a president.
Meant to add that it's pretty remarkable that Byrd endorses Obama. That's change - not delusion.
FFF (will you let me add just one more 'F', c'mon please??)...naw, you're right, Sen. Byrd is certainly NOT a racist! Those days when he was a "Grand Cyclops" in the KKK are long gone. Hell, I bet he never attended more than a half dozen lynchin's. And way back in '01 when the good Senator Byrd said, "There are white ni99ers. I've seen a lot of white ni99ers in my time. I'm going to use that word. We just need to work together to make our country a better country, and I'd just as soon quit talking about it so much," I'm sure he meant it in the most non-racist way possible. By the way I put in 9's for g's because I doubt any decent website will publish the word that your good Senator used - but in the most non-racist ways I assure you.
Go back to your Kindle FFF. Forgive the old Senator, and Forget his past.
History will show conclusively, RUK, that Bush did steal the first election. His brother the Governor of the Banana Republic of Florida pulled a Robert Mugabe and disenfranchised enough voters to ensure a Bush victory. Which was then ratified by the Reagan and Bush appointees on the Supreme Court.
The key to Rove's victories has always been a) energize your base and b) suppress the vote in your opponent's stronghold. It happened again in 2004 in Ohio. Also in 2004, the spurious threat of terrorist attacks added probably 10% to the Republicans' total. Don't you remember how we had yellow and orange and red terror threats in the Fall of 2004. And then as soon as Bush was re-elected, we never heard about those ridiculous threats again. It was pure propaganda, just as holding the Republican convention near the WTC site was all about manipulating people's fears.
I know you want to distinguish Bush and McCain but it's going to be impossible. McCain is the same. There is not a lick of real difference. On taxes, Iraq, the economy, the environment, health care, foreign policy. McCain talks a good game but he is married to, and beholden to, the same super-wealthy fat cats as Bush.
To figure out his true intentions, you just have to follow the money.
TSR, I am willing to bet that you have never done anything to oppose racism in your life.
So please stop pretending to be so shocked by Senator Byrd's past.
And sadly enough, this "decent website" that we are blogging on has allowed numerous bloggers who hate Obama to post the very word you are pretending to be shocked by. I never saw you complaining about their repeated use of the word so I wonder why you are apparently so offended by Senator Byrd's vocabulary today.
TSR, I am willing to bet that you have never done anything to oppose racism in your life. I certainly never saw you objecting to the many people who have said racist things, or used the N word on this "decent website".
So please stop pretending to be so shocked by Senator Byrd's past vocabulary.
Comment by R U Kidding Me? - May 19, 2008 at 4:26 pm; your assumption that those of us who complained about Bush throughout his first screwed up 4 years, turned around and voted for him the second time around is either naive or rhetoric. Kerry didn't have the backbone to be Prez, and Bush is a boy with a toy. Take a look at the turn out of the primaries this year. How about the primaries then? The words "Record Turnouts" should ring a bell. People were apathetic towards the last election. I didn't vote for Bush. In fact I don't know a single person who did. And I'm counting my Republican friends. 30% approval rating remember. I'm sure someone voted for him. He won didn't he? But the fact that few will fess up to it says something. Your completely wrong by saying that "he isn't running this time." McCain's best chance for distancing himself from the last 8 years of hell was flushed when Bush endorsed him. Many Dem's and unfortunately for the GOP, many Republicans are viewing him more and more like Bush' minime. If he walks like Bush, talks like Bush, and wages war like Bush, well....call a spade a shovel. Make no mistake, this election is about Bush, whether he is running or not. 70% of Americans (of all political parties) have too much disdain for how the GOP under his lead have steered this country. The word "Change" isn't being flung around this year because Oprah put the dictionary on her "Book of the Month" club. Sorry, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
confirms the old adage one Byrd in the hand is worth two demos in the Bush!
4:35 here's the pot, again looking to call the kettle black - the dems have belittled mccain as senile and overthehill at 72, and yet get excited when a 90 year-old drooling byrd-brain endorses obama, even despite the knowledge that it's due to a mandate by the dnc. you are, as usual, embarassing yourselves.
Freedom from fear: These guys are endorsing Obama because (1) he appears to be the inevitable Democratic nominee; (2) they believe he is electable; (3) they would endorse the very Devil himself if they thought it would assure a Democratic victory. Just politics, nothing more. The Democrats want to win at all costs! Expect further endorsements to come from various sources. If Hillary had the numbers going in her favor, they would endorse her.
Read Tom Friedman's column in the Monday NY Times. Eminent sense about the US, as usual.
Sen. Byrd should have endorsed Mrs. Clinton. You people in West Virginia should be outraged and vote him out of office.
Politics as Usual, I agree with your points 1) and 2) but not 3).
And you are right, if Hillary had the numbers, they would endorse her too. They would be right to. If she had won the most votes, I would support her too.
FFF, is it Senator Byrd's "vocabulary today", or his "past vocabulary" that you are defending? You seem a bit confused. But that's ok, I'm sure the good Senator is too.
Ain't it wonderful though: If a Republican uses the 'N' word, it's a racial slur. But if a Democrat uses the 'N' word, it's now called "vocabulary".
To be honest with you, FFF, I haven't seen a lot of racism in my life, so yea, maybe I haven't done a lot to oppose it....but I'll tell you something buddy, I sure as hell haven't become an apologist for it like you.
4:47 talk about naive...bush endorsing mccain proves nothing about who the man he is – and yet again, you want it both ways. you dems all squealed like girls that farrakhan's endorsement of obama proved nothing...now it's different? and with regard to the record turn-outs, they are in large part due to young internet junkies who relate to obama's personality because it's just like theirs - arrogant in its youthful folly of invincibility and knowitallness. . those of us who are parents of those young people are loathe to think that our kid will wind up sitting in the oval office. ..hell on earth.
In the end, when Obama gets trounced by McCain the media will make it out to be all because of his race. But the real problem with his candidacy is that he …
thinks global warming is real, but the terrorist threat has been made up (maybe the WTC melted?)
is weak on crime – was against the death penalty before he was for it (in extreme cases)
proposes the largest tax increase in American history
wants to nationalize our healthcare
wants rural middle class Americans to relinquish their religion and guns (and stop being so bitter)
plans to repeal DOMA, effectively making it mandatory for states and the federal govt. to recognize same sex marriages performed in Massachusetts and California
will almost certainly, with the help of a Dem congress, give amnesty to 20M+ illegal aliens
promises to unilaterally get rid of all our nuclear weapons, slash our military budget, declare defeat and quit Iraq triggering a genocide of unimaginable proportions
seems to be running for the position of "Appeaser-on-Chief" - wants to talk to Hamas, Iran, Cuba and who knows who else or what about
won't allow drilling in places like ANWAR, thus ensuring the bulk of the gains of the run up in oil nations such as Iran, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Russia (if this isn't committing national suicide, what is?)
will provide undemocratic international institutions (some composed of leadership from hostile nations) incalculable control over our lives
says he considers the likes of Ginsberg and Souter ideal for the SCOTUS
has the most liberal voting record in the senate, yet thinks he has cross-over appeal
had an unpatriotic, pompous nut as a pastor and mentor for over 20 years and thought nothing of it
often comes across as condescending, playing into the elitist label
thinks the pro life position is about "punishing" girls with unwanted children
hasn't really accomplished anything (compared to say John McCain)
I think that "politics as usual" has got it right. I know it sounds sacrilegious but thats what politicians like Byrd do. He's 90 years old and I assume in possession of all of his faculties. Rather than look for some sort of higher purpose, he's betting on a winner. He looked at the maps and made a cold hearted calculation. That's what I've been trying to get you guys to do. Back in January or last year you could have argued strategy and platforms and philosophy. But the time for that within the Democratic Party is over. Since you guys won't do the math , guys like Byrd and Edwards have to do it for you.
They have to look at who gives them not only the best shot at the White House but who gives them the best shot at a governing majority in congress. As I have written before, Obama has a chance at 320 or more electoral votes if things break right for him. Hillary was going to be in a nail biter no matter how you cut it. After suffering through two straight elections like that, do you think the party regulars were up for another one of those. How about breaking open the Champagne bottles about 10:00 CST for a change?
You're joking right? If Robert Byrd (D-KKK) endorsed Hillary that would mean WVA has representative government in accordance with the Constitution. That is not at all what the Democratic Party stands for. Since when has the DNC ever represented its own citizens? The unmentioned motto of the DNC candidates has always been: "Elect me you little paeons and screw off!"
Senator Byrd has been fighting against racism for decades. Here's three paragraphs from Obama's book "The Audacity of Hope" when he first met Senator Byrd:
Listening to Senator Byrd I felt with full force all the essential contradictions of me in this new place, with its marble busts, its arcane traditions, its memories and its ghosts. I pondered the fact that, according to his own autobiography, Senator Byrd had received his first taste of leadership in his early twenties, as a member of the Raleigh County Ku Klux Klan, an association that he had long disavowed, an error he attributed—no doubt correctly—to the time and place in which he'd been raised, but which continued to surface as an issue throughout his career.
I thought about how he had joined other giants of the Senate, like J. William Fulbright of Arkansas and Richard Russell of Georgia, in Southern resistance to civil rights legislation. I wondered if this would matter to the liberals who now lionized Senator Byrd for his principled opposition to the Iraq War resolution—the MoveOn.org crowd, the heirs of the political counterculture the senator had spent much of his career disdaining.
I wondered if it should matter. Senator Byrd's life—like most of ours—has been the struggle of warring impulses, a twining of darkness and light. And in that sense I realized that he really was a proper emblem for the Senate, whose rules and design reflect the grand compromise of America's founding: the bargain between Northern states and Southern states, the Senate's role as a guardian against the passions of the moment, a defender of minority rights and state sovereignty, but also a tool to protect the wealthy from the rabble, and assure slaveholders of noninterference with their peculiar institution.
Stamped into the very fiber of the Senate, within its genetic code, was the same contest between power and principle that characterized America as a whole, a lasting expression of that great debate among a few brilliant, flawed men that had concluded with the creation of a form of government unique in its genius—yet blind to the whip and the chain.

I believe that legislators have to take into account the way the citizens of their state voted, and vote accordingly.
Barack Obama talks about white and black experiences, and a bunch of liberal white kids who have never gone to schools with black kids, never interacted with black kids, never lived in the same neighborhood as black kids, nevr had lunch with black kids all now think Obama's superior because somehow he makes it all better? Give me a break.
'Ol "Sheets" sure gave West Virginia Dems the Byrd didn't he? The party of "unity"...not.
And your point is.... If they did, they never would vote for Obama? Why do you think that younger generation is filled with guilt as you apparently are? When young people were all enthusiastic about JFK, was that some sort of character flaw? It is my experience that young people do a much better job of cutting through the racial stuff than we do. So why can't they be for Obama because they think he's cool or hot or whatever? When Jackie Robinson broke into the major leagues there were people that argued that he would ruin baseball. To a certain extent, that seems to be the argument here. But in the end Jackie proved to be great for baseball. Maybe Obama will be great for the country.
Blacks are using the democratic party as a venue to get their guy nominated. Although they are only 12% of the nation, they are 24% of the dems and 50% of Obama's vote. The democratic party has been blighted. It really should be called the Black Panther Party.
The true democrats and moderate republicans ought to form a party around principles they all agree on.
This will leave the religious right and ethnic voting blacks out to have common sense and practicality prevail.
Nothin' pretty about race talk. But Hal hits it on the head. Oh, and Obamidiots, he isn't any sheet-wearer either.
TSR, I have seen a lot of racism in my life. I grew up in southern Africa, went to segregated schools, and watched my parents participate in the civil rights movement. I saw the police set dogs on demonstrators and took part in anti-apartheid demonstrations myself. When I came to this country, I demonstrated against the racist Shockley when he came to lecture on eugenics at my college, and I testified in support of disinvestment from South Africa. When my country of origin became independent with a black government, I experienced black racism, or reverse discrimination but that didn't shake my belief that racism from whatever side is wrong.
Over the 30 years I have spent in America, I have gotten to know black and white Americans on all sides of the political fence. I have experienced both black and white racism here as well. I have made it my business to learn the history of this country, both good and bad. Part of that history is racism. But that doesn't make all Americans racist. What Senator Byrd did in his twenties, he has atoned for by now. At least that is my opinion. Actually, my opinion doesn't matter. What the people who were persecuted by the KKK is more important. I operate under the same principles as Archbishop Tutu, who chaired the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa. He said that if people confess their errors, and change their ways, he is prepared to forgive them. If that is good enough for him, then who am I to disagree?
In response to "Oh give me a break", I am a 53 year old man. I live in New York City, in an integrated neighborhood. There are low-income projects on my block as well as multi-million dollar single family brownstone buildings. My own apartment building contains black, white and Latino families, some rich, some poor. Working-class women walk their dogs with welfare moms on my street; Wall Street types line up to buy groceries at the local bodega behind elderly African-American matrons. We all live together in harmony. It may sound hokey, but it's really true. I think actually this neighborhood represents the best in America: it is a true vision of a non-racial society. The America that Barack Obama is working to create will look very much like this block of New York City. This city that the terrorists attacked, and which the Republicans told to drop dead in the 1970's, is to me the greatest, most democratic (that's with a small and a big D) place in the world.
So Hal- As long as African Americans voted for your guy then they were "true" democrats.When they voted 86% for Bill Clinton, 88% for Gore and 90% for Kerry, they were true to the cause. Obama's agenda looks like Hillary's agenda yet it doesn't represent "principles you can agree on". Because it looks like Barack Obama will be the standard bearer and he is Black, his constituency should be called the "Black Panther Party". I dunno. If I were a shrink and I was trying to connect the dots between your arguments, it would seem to be based on race. So would make you happier if Barack Obama was the name of a nice "white" person.
I am sorry, Hal from Lincoln, but I don't consider you a true democrat. Your obsession with race makes you sound like a Nazi. Why can't you just look at the person, instead of the color?
Freedom from fear- I'm curious as to whether or not you are African-American?
So FFF, in your little bit of heaven in the Big Apple, did you leave your doors unlocked during the enlightened reign of David Dinkins, or did you actually feel safer under that mean and nasty Rudy Giuliani? And why do you think Brack Obama would be more likely to keep an airliner from smashing into your neighborhood than would John McCain?
I don't blame him. Byrd is a true patriot.
Byrd was in a bind. Even though he was probably the most staunch opponent to the Iraq war, he would be called by hysterical Obamaniacs and prostrate MSM a former Klansman who always "CLINGs TO" his racist views.
Johh Kerry had wanted to occupy the White House since his days at St. Pauls'. But what did he do anything of substance during all those years in Washington? What major legislation did he ever sponsor? He epitomizes what is so wrong with the Democratic Party Establishment. He preaches his love for the poor and dispossessed, but abandoned his neglected wife, in quest for whatever dream he had, for the widow of his fellow Bonesman Henry John Heinz III after Mr. Heinz perished in a plane crash.
John Edwards is no appreciably better. His house with 28,200 square feet of connected space along with his four-Franklin haircuts belies any claim he can relate tangibly to anyone he constantly professes to help.
Hillary Rodham Clinto took a stand once before for universal health care. She NEVER quits when the going gets tough. I can essentially say the same thing about Mr. McCain. I have respect for Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, Warron Buffet, Harry Truman and even Fidel Castro. But I have nil for Mr. Barack "Me the Messiah" Obama.
Al Gore had presidential ambitions thanks in no small part to his father's influence. It was the natural thing to do after eight years as Bill Clinton's lieutenant.
My initial lukewarm respect for Al Gore has grown. Not because he has won a Nobel. But he has taken a few tough stands here and there since he ceased to be a career politician. I applaud him for not injecting himself directly OR through his associated into the far-from-over Democratic Party primary season.
a&d @6:05 with regard to jfk –i'll grant you there are many similarities between obama and jfk - charismatic, engaging, handsome. end of story. jfk has been lionized because he was assassinated and we never got to see whether he had the right stuff or not. and then this kennedy mystique got carried forward, and was reinforced by his brother's assassination and the compelling beauty and intrigue of his wife. but after all, he was a young man who, as president, never proved himself; a young man who, in fact, was a womanizer who loved the fast life, who got caught in the bay of pigs scandal, and may have shown his mettle or lack thereof in the months that followed had he had the opportunity. perhaps being assassinated allowed him to enjoy the legacy that he may never have achieved had he lived. Americans are in love with the story of what could have been, even though there were hints that it never would have been. obama for many, represents the same exciting possibility; for others, he represents misguided romanticism, and naïve and dangerous notions that will bring the country to her knees.
You know, Senator Byrd gave a very important speech on race relations years before Barry Obama ever did. Very eloquent, very profound and very insightful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FIBJt-c2o0
Alan Greenspan actually described JFK as performing better as a Republican than Richard Nixon. I'll agree that Obama is engaging and charismatic, but handsome? That is pushing the envelope a bit far.
The New Black Panther Party, Hamas, Hugo Chavez all endorse Obama. Might as well add a Klansman to the party.
To answer KDM, I wasn't a fan of Dinkins, no. I thought he was a bureaucrat like Abe Beame. However, crime did start trending down during his time in office.
Rudy Guiliani was an obnoxious bully who tried to take credit for everything. He inflamed race relations unnecessarily. He was very lucky to be Mayor during the biggest boom on Wall Street in history, which flooded the city with tax revenues. All he did on 9/11 was show up. Which any mayor would have done. In fact, he showed up more at Yankee Stadium in 2001 than he did at the World Trade Center. He wanted all the credit for the work the firemen and cops did, but they hate him because he vetoed the walkie-talkies that might have saved their buddies lives. As well as putting the Emergency HQ for the city in the World Trade Center -despite the fact that the WTC had already been attacked in 1993. In spite of the experts' advice. But he was a know it all as well as a bully. This city breathed a sigh of relief when he left. He wouldn't get elected dog catcher today.
"Why do I think Brack Obama would be more likely to keep an airliner from smashing into your neighborhood than would John McCain?"
1. The Pentagon itself has said that our presence in Iraq has increased the supply of anti-American terrorists. Obama is more likely to get the US out of Iraq than McCain.
2. Obama will represent a clean break with the past. Obama is the anti-Bush. Moderates in the Arab world will be more willing to deal with him. Right now, Bush cannot even persuade the Saudis to increase oil production.
3. Fighting them over there does absolutely nothing to protect us over here.
ALll you Obama haters..Hate on! The numbers don't lie! And that's a Fact. UNless you can't do basic Math. See Ya in November....
Look at the state of our country at this moment. Who is the "leader"? How can anyone even mention inexperience or lack of leadership ability regarding Obama when this entire nation is in a shambles because we have no real leadership now? We have an OIL man who wants his money and cares not one cent about the environment or the future of his own children!
ALl you Obama haters..Hate on! The numbers don't lie! And that's a Fact. UNless you can't do basic Math. See Ya in November....
I surely hope that our Hillary is the vice-president so she can stomp that little black boy in and have him impeached so we can at once have victory for her !
You're such a racist! Hopefully a gang of "white" boys will put a noose around you're neck and hang you. It's what you deserve.
"the 90-year old-Senate legend lauded Obama as a "shining young statesman" a "noble-hearted patriot" and a "humble Christian.".. Byrd, who has had more experience in the US senate than anyone else, and has probably met every kind of politician, made this assessment of Obama and endorsed him, to show the people of WV how biased they are and how unwilling they are to embrace the new world! Some one posted a comment earlier stating: "Mr. Byrd, voters of WV are no fools. Please "
do not pretend to have more wisdom than several hundred thousand smart people of your state". Mr. Byrd is NOT PRETENDING to have more more wisdom...the simple fact is..he does have more wisdom!!
ANYTHING to bring the "woman" down. Amazing....absolutely amazing! The "boys club" is alive and well, its more interracial now (which I guess is a good thing) but it's alive and well.
Barack Obama is a socialist. I heard his speach today lecturing Americans about what we can and cannot do. We must cut down on energy. We must turn off our air conditioning. We must not drive certain cars. We must not eat too much food. We must use certain fuel. Hmm. This sounds exactly like the person I want. What a crock.
Obama- an Antichrist We Can Believe In
Consider his sexual rockstar status among young voters, his ability to continuously lie without impunity, his connections to mob members and terrorist both real and wannabes. His strong and unscrupulous desire for raw power, at any cost, regardless what it does to others, (he became senator simply by disqualifying his opponents). His empty words and changing promises, his desire to be friends with those who wish to destroy us. His wife Michele has expressed her hatred for this country and has publicly announced her husband as the messiah.
The voodoo of this all is that Teflon Obama remains unscathed by all his nefarious connections and thug like history. He is worshiped not only blindly by the mindless masses, but by the fearful media.
I am not very religious, but I think Nostradamus got it right again. What is God going to think of all the lemmings that follow a man of darkness?
Sarah Paultier-- are you on your meds?
Byrd's endorsement will have about as much effect as his prior endorsements of Al Gore and John Kerry in West Virginia. He won't be out going around the state campaigning for Obama because, frankly, I doubt he's physically able. And, for the Obama supporters on this board, why is it that you claim to support Obama because of his claims to bring people together, yet you consider anyone who has a difference of opinion on your guy to be stupid and/or racist?
I have a hard time trying to understand how our great seantor could for go the wishes of the voters of this great state of WV and make this endorsement.
Obama's bad news. Some of us get it, Kool-Aid guzzlers don't. The solution? Just vote McCain if Obama gets the nomination. McCain isn't as good a choice as Hillary, but if Obama's the alternative, all the "McBush" fear tactics can't take away the fact that McCain is way better a choice than Obama. It is the best we can do.
I am so ashamed of Senator Bryd, I can not believe this endorsement. How can this man, who is a icon for west virginias, go against the vast majority in his home state? I am extremely upset about this and have written him a letter telling him so. I am a West Virginian and have voted for Senator Bryd in the past, it saddens me to no end that he would choose Senator Obama over Senator Clinton. From this day on I will have to second guess my decision to vote for Senator Bryd.
I can't believe he did this. Would anyone have predicted this? Pretty derned cool.
lets just all set back and see what the end will be I got them words of wisdom from a great man who has gone on to glory just remember that even when we think were in control,GOD has always had it already worked OUT!!!!!!!!!!!
I like both people. To be honest Hill should have left and endorsed obama a month ago. Just looks at the GOP side, everyone of them dropped out and endorsed. It is the way it works. Even if Hill is better, even if she really believes it. And she may be better. however, obama has won. She should plan for 2012. I wonder, if Obama wins the general election will she run against him in the primarys anyway in 2012?
i think senator byrd has done a very bad jobfor all wv endorsing b h obama. we voiced our opinions by voting. he went against all. i gurss we will shame him by voting McCAIN. WE WILL LOSE ALL DISRESPECT FOR THIS MAN WHO SAYS HE LOVES OUR STATE. WE HAVE RESPECTED YOU , YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE SENATE YEARS AGO, BUT NO WE KEPT ELECTING YOU. PITTY ALL WEST VIRGINIANS.
Why would anyone be surprised that the Klan, a Democrat organization, would support the Democrat candidate?

Chinese lose faith in Western fast-food
24 July 2014
SHANGHAI: Up to 69% of Chinese consumers say they will no longer eat at a Western fast-food restaurant after poor practices have emerged at a US-owned food supplier to KFC and McDonald's.
This was one of the key findings in an online poll of 25,000 people by news portal Sina Shanghai,
South China Morning Post reported
The poll also revealed that over three-quarters (77%) thought the Western brands were aware of what was happening at the Shanghai Husi Food Company, which a
weekend TV report revealed
to be processing meat beyond its expiry date.
An investigation has been launched by the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration and both KFC and McDonald's released a statement emphasising that they have halted use of all products from Shanghai Husi.
This is another setback for KFC, which had been working to improve its image in China after another scandal in December 2012 revealed it had served chicken containing unapproved levels of antibiotics.
Meanwhile, US coffee chain Starbucks, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Swedish furniture chain Ikea and Chinese fast-food chain Dicos all sought to provide clarity about food they had received from Husi.
Starbucks said its only affected product was a chicken and apple panini sandwich while Ikea used its Weibo account to say it had previously sourced meat from Husi but stopped in September,
the Financial Times reported
And in a further development, it emerged that the plant also supplied meat for about a fifth of the Chicken McNuggets
sold by McDonald's in Japan
, prompting the Japanese authorities to announce that imports will be blocked and they will take "firm measures to ensure food safety".

Pot shop sues IRS over cash penalty
The IRS charges a 10 percent penalty on cash payments for federal employee withholding taxes. But many marijuana businesses are forced to pay taxes in cash because of difficulty accessing banking services
Because pot is illegal under federal drug law, many marijuana businesses have no bank accounts despite federal guidance earlier this year on how banks may accept pot money.
Medical marijuana dispensary Allgreens LLC of Denver is challenging the IRS practice of fining cash payments in U.S. Tax Court, The Denver Post reported Wednesday.
The dispensary says in its petition that it can't pay via the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System because it has no bank account.
"It was not that the taxpayer 'did not want' to make use of the EFTP System," Allgreens' attorney Rachel Gillette wrote in the Tax Court petition. "Rather, the taxpayer is unable to secure a bank account due to the nature of its business. With no bank account and no access to banking services, the taxpayer is simply incapable of making" the payments electronically.
Since the account was closed, Allgreens has hand-delivered cash payments on the tax twice monthly to the IRS office in downtown Denver — the only one in the state that accepts cash.
As a result, the company has been assessed a 10 percent penalty every quarter of the tax cycle.
Allgreens asked the IRS for a waiver of the penalty, saying it had complied with the law and had not intentionally avoided making the electronic payments.
The IRS sent the company a letter with a copy of its internal policies, which say companies have two alternatives to pay electronically. Both methods required Allgreens to funnel the cash to a third party, who could then make the tax payment on its behalf.
"It's the very definition of money laundering," Gillette told The Denver Post. "It's absurd. An alternative should not force a taxpayer to engage in a potentially unlawful activity under a federal statute."
A third alternative the IRS suggested — paying the tax in a single lump-sum payment at the end of each quarter — would not only incur the 10 percent penalty, but an additional penalty for paying late.
The tax is due within days of a company's payroll and is accounted for quarterly. Marijuana business owners not near Denver must make the frequent trip downtown to pay in cash.
"Literally it becomes an all-day affair, and you can only do it by appointment," Gillette said. "The IRS knows darn well the money is coming from marijuana sales, and they're happy to accept it."
No hearing date has been set for the petition.

Has anybody read it ? I am still reading it. great pictures.
Any particular points that are meaningful to your fair community ?
Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
From Kelly's Heroes (1970)
Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
From Electric Horseman (1979)
Thanks for the link. I have just finished up the case studies section and hopefully will have time to read the rest later today.
The case studies are a nice compilation of restoration work in the US. I particularly enjoyed the section discussing dam removal in Maine.
This is a very useful report as a starting point for those seeking to utilize green infrastructure approaches in their communities. I haven't seen many publications that frame the green infrastructure discussion in terms of resiliency toward climate change. Including data on flooding or CSO reductions is key, along with the potential cost savings. If you can give a project to a commissioner that says you'd only need to increase stormwater fees by $0.11 per year, it may have a chance. On the other hand, the report leaves out one of the BIG hurdles of implementing green infrastructure--the regulatory regime of your particular region/state that may not 'permit' some of these innovative approaches. I always think case studies are most useful when they admit to the problems experienced when implementing a program--but that doesn't make for pretty reports!
Thanks for the link. I just read the ULI's 2009 Infrastructure report (http://www.uli.org/sitecore/content/...re%202009.ashx) which had me in the right frame of mind to be thinking about green infrastructure.

That wasn't really gauge of Mitrone's ability. The guy made a dumb mistake and paid for it. How are you going to go for a single and screw it up in a major way?

Nah, the winner of that one is a little higher on the food chain.
4/7/13 10:09 PM by Officer Farva
It looked like a jumping teabag was the method used to get the win.
4/7/13 10:05 PM by The Black Cheez
Big fan of Mitrione, hope he can keep winning.
4/7/13 10:04 PM by The Black Cheez
I agree, he needed the win and got it, now he needs a couple more good wins.

Win doesn't = fighting another winner. With a win over Phil deFries (2-3-0, #48), Matt (ranked 26, and 6-2, on a 2 fight loss streak beforehand) shouldn't fight the winner of Gonzaga/Browne. Gonzaga is ranked 20, and is on a 2-fight win streak, with former success and popularity in the UFC. Browne is 4-1-1 in the UFC and ranked 17, only losing to the current #1 contender. Matt should happily fight the loser, or fight the likes of Rothwell/Duffee first.
4/7/13 7:25 PM by TuLegit
Honestly I don't think the de fries win proves much for him it was a must win fight for him. I could still see him getting cut if he loses his next fight.

Yeah i remember when he said he wouldn't fight DC because of his "wrasslin".

Do the voters even follow the scores?
Sometimes, I don't think so.
And that's why I have the Poll Attacks.
AP poll: So I looked at the rankings, saw Alabama got three votes and prepared to kill the person who would dare place the Crimson Tide 23rd on their ballot despite a season-opening home loss to Mercer, otherwise known as the team picked sixth in the Atlantic Sun. And then guess what happened? I realized the ballot in question belongs to Seth Davis, and I like Seth Davis, and now I'm stuck because I can't really rip Seth Davis, can I?
I mean, we have the same employer.
So I'd like to take this moment to ask Seth a private question.
The rest of you can skip to the bottom.
(Dear Seth: What the hell are you doing? Why would you put me in this spot? You know I Poll Attack, and you know I can't ignore you ranking an Alabama team that was questionable to begin with and is now 0-1 with a home loss to Mercer. Please don't do this to me again. You're making the Poll Attacks awkward. Talk to you soon. And I hope you're well. -- GP)
Coaches poll: The coaches had better be glad I haven't figured out a way to see their ballots yet, because if so I'd probably destroy the clown who voted for Washington because I doubt I like that guy as much as I like Seth Davis. So what I'd probably do is save all the vitriol I would normally dish to the goofy AP voter of the week and redirect it towards the coach who placed Washington on his Top 25 ballot.
Because yes, there was coach who did such a thing despite the fact that Washington lost to Portland, a team picked sixth in the West Coast Conference. Honestly, I'm not even sure how anybody could've been ranking Washington in the preseason, but the preseason is the preseason and I'll let pretty much anything slide in the preseason (except the ranking of Cal State-Northridge). But it's no longer the preseason. Now we have actual games on which to base our opinions, and any opinion about Washington should be based on it losing to freaking Portland.
That's not what a Top 25 team does.
That's what an average Washington team does.
Because that's what an average Washington team did.
I saw the box score with my own eyes.
And it's just too bad some coach with a ballot did not.

WASHINGTON — Authorities investigating the seizure of a U.S. ship continued to sift through fingerprint and DNA evidence Tuesday as they deliberated whether to bring to the U.S. a young Somali pirate who surrendered last weekend before three of his associates were killed by snipers.
The youth, whose age is one of many inconsistencies facing investigators, could be charged with piracy or kidnapping offenses, according to people familiar with the deliberations.
International law allows for piracy suspects to be charged with a crime anywhere across the globe. Authorities are deliberating whether to send the youth to Kenya for trial or the U.S. The Washington Post

So Ive been on the P17 injections since 16 weeks and they progressively were becoming more painful to get and causing more and more swelling/pain/itching at the site each week. Last week I mentioned this to my MFM. bc it got to the point that my entire butt cheek was swelling up for a week and I was getting frustrated so I asked if I could switch to the suppositories. I did and have been on them for a week and noticed my contractions seem to have picked up in frequency (I've had a very irritable uterus this entire pregnancy but it hasnt caused any major changes to my cervix, last measured at 3.0). I'm currently 30 weeks and had a daughter at 29 +3 2 years ago due to unexplained preterm labor. Dr. thinks my issue is preterm labor and not IC. That combined with the fact that I contract all the time is why I dont have a cerclage. Which is fine bc I didnt need it!
Has anyone switched halfway through and noticed more contractions? For people who have been on either the shots or suppositories, how often are you contracting? Its hard to know what is normal now that I'm further along than I've ever been. I think I may just contract my way to full term here but was a little worried with the switch!

Learn not to forbid certain foods. That almost always triggers cravings. Allow them on special occasions & in moderate portions. Its not the peanut butter cup thats the deal breaker, its the entire bag. When treats are incorporated in our daily meal plans we don't feel the need to splurge like theres no tomorrow. Plan, Measure & track your treats & you won't see them as the monsters they appear to be.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:17-21
I prefer to make my own salads but won't do so if time-crunched. My strategy involves fresh salad ingredients and a 6-8 cup capacity plastic container. I wash and chop 3 heads of romaine lettuce and a variety of my favorite veggies and store in the container in the fridge. Fresh salad at the ready!
How can I keep fighting the evils to be. Plan, Plan, Plan and then pray.

The Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad (C&O) Cincinnati Bridge connects Cincinnati, Ohio to Covington, Kentucky.
The original C&O Bridge, constructed between 1886 and 1889, existed directly adjacent to the current span to the east.1 In 1929, a new railroad bridge was constructed and the original C&O span was retrofitted for automobile use. The retrofitted bridge was later demolished and replaced with the new Clay Wade Bailey bridge in 1974.
The new Bailey Bridge followed the alignment of the original C&O bridge, and used one of the original main piers which limited the new bridge's lanes to three.1 It's 675-feet main span length was identical to the adjacent railroad bridge from 1929. A second C&O pier was extended west, creating a shared pier that dates to 1929 and 1974. The northern pier of the 1889 C&O Bridge was removed, which allowed a wide 675 ft. navigation channel along the river.

I recently tried to rename the directory that WP is installed in. I followed WP directions: change settings in dashboard to new URL and then rename directory in FTP.
After this, I went back to the home page of my site and it was completely blank. The dashboard still works (using the renamed directory).
This message is displayed: "HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request." I cleared Chrome's cache and tried to access the site on FireFox and that didn't change anything.
Following these same instructions to change it BACK to the original name, I was able to fix the problem. But I still need to rename the directory and actually have my site display correctly. Any suggestions for how to go about this?
If it matters, my index page is located out of the directory (ie, mysite.com). My blog/WP install is located in a directory (ie, mysite.com/photography).

I have an egg white omlette most mornings. I keep a carton of egg whites in the fridge and measure out a serving over browned shredded potatoes (1/4 cup), spinach, squash, onions, or peppers with a sprinkling of cheddar cheeese or tablespoon of light sour cream. Fast, easy and filling.
I've recently been diagnosed with allergies to wheat, oats, soy, malt, barley and rye... I'm not saying go out and find yourself an allergy, but I can't help but think if I hadn't been diagnosed I'd still be in my rut. I'm eating so much better. Fresh fruits, vegis and lower fat meats...
Cheese really does make everything taste better, but for an average 100 calories a pop, I pass as often as I can: no more cheeseburgers, none on salad, minimal on omlettes. Instead, I enjoy cheese as a stand-alone snack where I can enjoy its complex flavor without being outdone by an all-beef patty or the like!
I buy the day old produce and what can't be eaten in a day or two gets chopped and put in ziploc baggies in the freeaer. The fruits are great cooked in oatmeal or baked goods or for smoothies and the veggies are wonderful in omlettes, soups and casseroles. Prepping the items and freezing them is a great time saver too!!!

- Filed Under
Editor's note: Ever wondered how to go about doing something that involves a public agency or, in this case, could involve paying a fee? That's what this column is for.
This week we tell you how to go about filing an appeal with the city.
To get our answers, we spoke with Bonnie Simoes, a planner with the city of Tulare, and Visalia City Clerk Michelle Nicholson.
The planning commissions are the last stop for a variety of projects before the city councils give the final approvals. Projects that go before the commissions can range from a business owner wanting to add a lighted sign where none was previously allowed to a landowner subdividing property.
It's at these public meetings that the city staff from the appropriate departments make the presentation, often with the involved parties sitting in the audience to answer questions or add comments. When the commissioners are satisfied they understand the issue before them, they will make a decision to either grant or deny the request. The projects then move up to the city councils.
So what happens if the person making the request doesn't like the decision? For that matter, what if you, as a concerned resident, don't like the decision?
Simple - you can appeal.
"Anyone can," Michelle Nicholson said. As Visalia City Clerk, she collects and processes all appeals filed with the city. That includes appeals for decisions made by the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee and the Parks and Recreation Commission regarding the city's Valley Oak Ordinance.
But it won't be cheap.
An Appeal of Planning Commission form is available on the website which must be completed and submitted to the City Clerk. A fee of $460 must accompany the appeal, but there is also a fee waiver application, based on income, that you can complete if you can't afford the fee. To appeal a decision by the Parks and Recreation Commission regarding a Valley oak tree, the fee is $5; there is no fee to appeal a decision by the Historic Preservation committee.
The form, which include your reasons for appealing the decision, must be submitted within 10 days of the planners' decision. Once that's done, it gets placed on the agenda for the next City Council meeting.
The city doesn't have a form, but will accept a letter also filed with the City Clerk, also within 10 days of the planners' decision. Here, the fee is $805.
Why so high?
"It's based on the amount of staff time required to prepare the appeal and the noticing requirements, plus the cost to publish it in the paper," Bonnie Simoes, a Tulare city planner, said. "We might have a mailing list of 500 or more or it might be just 20, but our fee is based on the average of our costs."
Final decision
In both cities, the decision of the City Council is final and there is no further appeal process.
Not surprisingly, there have been appeals filed in either city over the previous year. Just one so far this year in Visalia and three in 2012. In Tulare, there have been no appeals in more than a year.

Today during ESPN2 First Take's hourly break to mop and pressure wash Skip Bayless' interrogation room, we were blessed with an appearance by the network's most beloved personality, Emmitt Smith.
From that delightful exchange with Reischea Canidate, we learned that Emmitt has been entrusted by Jerry Jones & Co. the exact role you would expect for such a prominent figure in Dallas pro football history.
Naturally, Emmitt has been officially charged with the public dissemination of unique, proprietary snow removal technology to be administered on metroplex roads in the event of a winter storm during Super Bowl week.
According to deputized DOT spokesman Smith, the plan is to "put dirt on the roads" to clear snow and ice - keeping DFW traffic arteries safe for motorists.
But if such a plan is indeed deployed, what happens when fans end up in Amarillo instead of at the Super Bowl?

Update: Check out the new forums welcome post.
Word is starting to get around about the MSDN Forums Beta. I guess I should jump in as well. I helped drive the project from the Developer Division side of things, but we wouldn't have anything to talk about if it weren't for the MSCOM Community team that has been working like mad to get this site ready to support Whidbey Beta 2 customers. If you've been a long time reader of my blog you might have been able to guess we were working on something like this. I've had fun playing with the beta and re-reading some of these discussions...
Today, answering questions online got a lot better: MSDN Forums Beta is now available at http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn!
MSDN Forums Beta allows customers to search a growing archive of technical questions and answers. If an answer can't be found in search, a customer can ask a new question, be notified when there are replies, and mark the appropriate reply as an answer. Over time we'll use this Q&A pairing to improve search, build a "hall of fame" of top contributors, and construct a community-maintained FAQ. We're creating forums for Whidbey Beta2 technologies to start with, and will add more developer technologies soon. There are already people requesting DirectX forums!
How do I efficiently find questions needing answers... and answer them?
A big complaint today is that answering questions online—or even finding what questions are unanswered—is a hassle. MSDN Forums was designed to make things easy for answerers and site users in general. Some examples:
Forums are easier than Newsgroups for answering questions, but we (Microsoft) still have a responsibility to "jump-start" the forums with answers while the community is small. Beta2 adopters will depend on product team members to subscribe to forums and answer questions, especially for the first month or two after release. This stage of our community engagement is critical as we transition our product knowledge to a growing community of Visual Studio 2005 users.
Other cool forum features include:

Here's one you may not have heard before: a manufacturer decides to stick a VGA touchscreen in some handset model not because it wants VGA resolution, but just because it got a killer deal on them. That's the rumor being floated on a handful of sites and forums about ASUS' monster P750 Windows Mobile 6 Professional device, with some sharp-eyed contributors noticing that each logical pixel on their devices' screens are actually comprised of -- count 'em -- four physical pixels. Indeed, a quick glance of the spec sheet for the alleged part number used reveals a "VGA/QVGA dual viewing mode," so the story seems to check out, and folks are apparently already hard at work enabling full 640 x 480 resolution on their beloved devices. Good luck, everyone!

Hello I am shinchan56798. But you can call me Brian or Shin. I love making Half Life mods. As you see I am making a hd pack. That is my first attempt. I am still practicing and I plan on making mods and games in unity3d. So enjoy :D
Posted by Schinchan56798 on Aug 27th, 2011
Hi guys. I have a new PC. My old one broke. While my PC was broken, I used a ibook. A ibook is kind of cool if you love macs. But, I love PC more. Anyways, when I got this PC I instantly downloaded steam. I played Half-Life all night. I tried playing Team Fortress Classic but the servers would not show up. So, I downloaded Natural Selection and Afraid Of Monsters: Directors Cut. NS was doing the same with servers. I played AOM:DC and I loved it. Anyways, I am going to play some half life mods. I am really happy to be back. I missed playing awesome mods and making them. Yeah, I am trying to make a mod. But, I am going to practice Valve Hammer Editor first. Well anyways, I hope you guys have a nice day and weekend. :D
