In an excerpt from his new book, Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer points to Chief Justice John Roberts' decision in SCOTUS' 2014 cell phone wiretapping case, which affirmed that the ideas embodied in the Fourth Amendment represent the basic idea that sparked the American Revolution.
Sitting in prison on the Fourth of July for exposing some harsh truths about U.S. war crimes, the whistleblower should actually be honored as a true patriot.
In an excerpt from his new book, Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer describes how leaders in business and government abuse the Internet to deprive people of the privacy that is essential to the creation of a strong, independent self.

At a time when the surveillance state seems stronger than ever, award-winning poet David Wagoner reminds us that sometimes even the most regimented pursuits may lead to a freedom that can only be found in unexpected places.

A long article at The Observer examines the regulatory possibilities of "smart" phones, cars and even carpet, and asks what's to become of governance if data and algorithms are setting the limits of human life.
Freedom is the one value conservatives place above all others, yet time and again their ideal of freedom ignores the growing imbalance of power in our society that's eroding the freedoms of most people.
"What splendid courage!" Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer said upon hearing the announcement. "By recognizing the astounding threat posed by the NSA to the basic freedoms our government is sworn to observe, the award effectively honors Edward Snowden and, through his example, other brave whistle-blowers."
Freedom House
Freedom House has released its annual report on authoritarianism and found that people around the world are less free than they were a year ago.
Clashes between the Ukrainian government and demonstrators continued Friday, despite President Viktor Yanukovych offering to give a little ground. The government's creative use of text messaging earlier in the week, not to mention violence, had something to do with the ongoing calls for regime change.

His smile was like sunshine, but Nelson Mandela was made of steel. It was his strength of character, repeatedly tested throughout his long and impossibly full life, that made him one of the towering political figures of our time.

We find ourselves, 237 years after the Founders declared us a new nation, in a season of discontent, even surliness, about the experiment they launched. We are sharply divided over the very meaning our founding documents, and we are more likely to invoke the word "we" in the context of "us" versus "them" than in the more capacious sense that includes every single American.

Instead of doing the right thing—i.e., apologizing—for his insensitive and outrageous claim that President Obama's mandate that insurance companies provide contraception without a co-pay is just like the 9/11 terrorists and Pearl Harbor, GOP freshman Rep. Mike Kelly is doing the opposite: doubling down on his remarks.

Two years after imposing martial law, Fiji's illegal, internationally sanctioned military dictatorship has promised to end an indefinite state of emergency and craft a new constitution on the way to democratic elections. It's a needed reminder that there are many places outside the Middle East and lower Manhattan where people yearn for a government accountable to its citizens.

"Freedom" is about something important, but the hubbub about how the critical establishment favors male literary writers like Franzen is also significant. Why has everyone cared so much? Because fiction matters.

We have a Bill of Rights that protects our freedoms against the whims of public opinion. Thomas Jefferson understood this. A bunch of opportunistic politicians—who love to quote him—obviously do not.

Justice Department documents that demonstrate the Bush administration's view of the president's constitutional power in a "state of war" tell us things we suspected but didn't want to know.
Speaking at a Justice Department event in honor of Black History Month, the first black attorney general, appointed by the first black president, acknowledged that America has made progress but warned that "in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards."

So, to give you an example, if I've been uploading images to wp-content/uploads, and I change the upload path to wp-content/uploads2 then my media library will rewrite the path to all of my images to wp-content/uploads2, but because all the library images are not to be found at the new path, they're appearing as broken icons.

In a Monday letter to U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, DHEC director Catherine Templeton repeated her criticism of cleanup efforts at the South Carolina site. The letter was in response to a recent revision to a liquid-waste cleanup schedule, pushing back the timeline for closing the Cold War-era storage tanks because of funding cuts.
Templeton called the 37 million gallons of highly radioactive waste "the single largest environmental threat to South Carolina." She threatened to fine the federal government $105,000 a day for failure to start the Salt Waste Processing Facility and $10,000 a day for failure to close the tanks.

Live! From New York! It's Jobs Friday
Yes, it's that time again, folks. It's the first Friday of the month, when for one ever-so-brief moment the interests of Wall Street, Washington and Main Street are all aligned on one thing: Jobs.
A fresh update on the U.S. employment situation for April hits the wires at 8:30 a.m. New York time, offering one of the most important snapshots on how the economy fared during the first month of 2012. Expectations are for 168,000 new jobs to be created, according to economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires, compared to 120,000 jobs added in March. The unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 8.2%.
Here at MarketBeat HQ, we'll be offering color commentary and tracking the markets before and after the data crosses the wires. Feel free to weigh-in yourself, via the comments section. And while you're here, why don't you sign up to follow us on Twitter.
Enjoy the show.
Welcome aboard, folks. Jobs Friday – out favorite Friday of the month. Lots of jitters surrounding this data point. Expectations have come down in the last few days and the whisper number is calling for something around 125,000 jobs added. We'll see.
Market Check
A quick check of the markets shows its pretty quiet out there. Dow futures are down 2 points, while S&P 500 futures are up 1 points. Euro is down 0.2% at $1.3127. Benchmark 10-year bond is yielding 1.927%. Crude is the big mover, down 1.9%, while gold edges down 0.2% and silver drops 0.4%.
Want to give a quick shout-out to our newest MarketBeat blogger, Paul Vigna. He made a stir yesterday describing the ugly jobs picture in this country. Let's hope this morning's report is a little more upbeat.
Get Your Popcorn
Thanks, Steve. Sad to say, I don't think it's going to be more upbeat. This thing's always a huge guessing game, but I'm going to guess the number's going to be weak.
Losing Momentum
Here's a quick recap of last month's data
A Weak Reference Week
The main thing sticking in my head is that the so-called reference week. This is the week that includes the 12th, and it's the week the BLS looks at to develop this initial monthly figure. That week had a bad initial claims number (386,000, later revised higher, of course.) Extrapolating from claims to hires isn't an exact science, but that number being around 400,000 to me says there was little hiring.
It's Just One Number
A quick reminder from Big Picture blogger Barry Ritholtz to take this morning's data with a huuuuge grain of salt:
People seem to get confused about two things: 1) The actual problems with the BLS model; 2) The value of this data series to investors.
The flaws in the series should be apparent: You are dealing with data that is cyclical, very difficult to measure in real time, based on statistically small changes of a very large number. No, the White House does not order BLS wonks to fake the data. Yes, Seasonal Adjustments are pretty standard statistical measures. No, the Birth Death adjustment is not the boogey man its described as. The grand conspiracists talk a good game, but have never proven their cases.
The ADP factor
Even more fraught with peril is trying to extrapolate from the ADP report to the BLS report, but, seems to me that ADP has tended to overshoot more than undershoot, so if ADP came in at 119,000, I'm going to guess the BLS will be under that. Again, this is a perilous business, but somebody's got to go back in there and face the peril.
Prediction Time
So Paul, what do ya think? I say upside surprise. +195 and unemployment rate staying at 8.2%.
Revise, Revise, Revise
Also, keep in mind the old writer's mantra: revise, revise, revise. This number will be revised next month, and the month after that. It'll be revised next year, and it'll be revised several years down the road as well when they do the benchmark revisions.
Prediction Time
I'm thinking of the Clubber Lang line from Rocky III.
"My prediction?"
"Yes, prediction."
I think we're going to get a 70,000 print.
Clean Read
With just a minute to go, another quick markets check shows that stock futures are still remarkably flat, giving us a clean read on how investors feel about the jobs picture. That's in contrast to the past few months of data, where we had a lot of Euro-static (or Good Friday) in the mix too. Not so much today!
Stock futures are essentially unchanged seconds before the report…
Only 115,000 jobs added in April. Unemployment rate at 8.1%, the lowest since since January 2009
Unemployment Rate Drops
BLS says nation added 115,000 in April, and the unemployment rate fell to 8.1%.
Ouch! Market is selling off here, with the Dow down 47 points and gold shooting higher.
On Second Thought...
The Dow move has actually pared almost all of its losses, with Dow futures off just 10 points right now. In the minute or two before the number hit the tape, we actually saw futures slip by about 19 points, suggesting either that someone out there got some last-minute jitters (or an early peek at the numbers?). In any case, the reaction appears to be surprisingly muted, once Wall Street had an extra, oh, 45 seconds to digest the number.
March was revised up to 154,000 from an initially reported 12,000. February payrolls rose to 259,000, compared to earlier estimate of 240,000.
Still, not much to like about the April number. It fell below expectations and even came in under the so-called "whisper numbers."
Participation Rate Drops
Hey, the unemployment rate's down! That's good, right? Well, it's good if you consider more people dropping out of the labor force a good thing.
Participation rate fell to 63.6%. Less people working means less people contributing to economic growth, no matter what the official unemployment rate says.
Hey! Now we like this number!
…and the Dow and S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures have all just turned positive! Dow up 20, S&P up 3 points. Maybe they're all focusing on the drop to 8.1% unemployment? Or QE3 hopes? Or…?
Great Expectations
Talk about lowering expectations. The market's actually higher now. Wednesday they were talking about 170,000, today they get 115,000. Only Wall Street could spin that into a positive.
Still, not much of a positive. Dow futures up 8.
Plenty to Fret About
So another 522K people are counted as out of the work force last month. And unemployment falls a tick to 8.1%. Remind us again how that's good news? There are 2.7M more people out of the work force the past year, versus a mere 945K going into it. As such, the participation rate hits another cycle low of 63.6%. No worries, somehow today's news–including the lower-than-expected job growth–will be spun positively.
Yay for ADP!
The champagne is likely to be flowing freely at Automatic Data Processing, and right it should be. The private-sector payroll processing firm, which trumpets its read on private-sector payrolls just two days before each Jobs Friday report, called for 119K new private-sector jobs in April. The "official" BLS number came right in line with that trendline, 130K. Very unscientifically speaking, that's made for a decent run for the much-maligned ADP report in recent months.
Wages Continue to go Nowhere
Average hourly wages were up 1 penny in April, and the workweek was unchanged. So, wages are up about 1.8% on average from a year ago. That's not even keeping pace with the official measures of unemployment.
Maybe when the Treasury stops minting pennies wages will start growing again.
Remember a slowing labor market could prompt the Fed to reconsider measures to juice the economy. Here's what Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said last week: "If unemployment looks like it's no longer making progress, that will be an important consideration in thinking about policy options."
What Conspiracy?
If this jobs report is part of some government conspiracy, it's a lousy one. If you're going to cook the books, at least make the meal taste more like sirloin than Spam.
The Floor's Now A Ceiling
As Steve Liesman points out on CNBC (and Dan Greenhaus of BTIG argued yesterday), this relatively weak print on the jobs number now makes the three consecutive months of 200K that we saw in Dec-Jan-Feb look less like a floor, and more like a ceiling again. The floor now? As sad as it sounds, we probably now need just a six-digit figure to not send everyone into a tailspin.
Treasurys Slip
After a brief bounce, Treasury prices tick down as the jobless rate provides some signs of optimism on the labor market. With 10-year yield trading near the bottom of 1.9%-2.1% range, selling pressure also emerges to set up for next week's debt sales. The 10-year note is 6/32 lower to yield 1.943%.
Beneath the headline
Governments cut payrolls by 15K. Professional and business services rose by 62,000 jobs. Manufacturers added 16K.
Wages Rise, Barely
Average hourly earnings rose by 1 cent to $23.28. Average workweek was unchanged at 34.5 hours.
Beating the Drum
I have to reiterate this point. Forget what the "official" unemployment rate is. Call it 8.1%, call it 14.5%. What matters is that participation rate. If people just aren't working, whether unemployed, retired, or whatever, it means there are than many fewer people contributing to economic growth.
It's going to be hard to earn our way out of that 14 trillion debt hole if people aren't working.
Spin Time
The unemployment rate, at 8.1%, is now at its lowest level since — the White House is going to love this — Inauguration Day, CNBC points out. This is, of course, just one piece of the fight over what this all means for the President and his reelection campaign. The president speaks within the hour, while Mitt Romney will also get his chance around noon today.
'No Man's Land'
Here's a dispatch from Peter Boockvar at Miller Tabak:
Bottom line, the muted market response to the weak headline # was due to the offset from the upward revisions in the two prior months, leading to an in line figure taken together. This said and as I've been saying, the data isn't strong enough to get excited and not weak enough to get the Fed to think they need to do more right now, a no man's land that will keep a lid on stocks for the time being.
Can't Blame Weather
Economists had thought some of March's weakness was a payback for strong hiring during the mild winter. If so, spring-hiring weakness should be concentrated in outdoor industries like construction. But April's numbers
show a broad slowdown with just 57% of industries adding workers last month,
down from 65% in March.
Buyer's Market for Labor
Long-term unemployed: 5.1 million. Forced part-time 7.9 million. Marginally attached: 2.4 million.
That's an absolute army of the underemployed, and that's part of the reason why wage growth is so stagnant.
It's a buyer's market for labor.
NFP Gives "Sell In May" Crowd A Bone To Chew On
Today's jobs number, of course, also provides more fuel for the "sell in May" crowd. Check out the table at the bottom of this page:
…and tell me that the weakness we're seeing now isn't eerily reminiscent of the fall-off-the-cliff numbers we saw in the summers of 2010 and 2011. Sure, things aren't as drastically worse now as they were the past two summers. But look what happened there between May and June of 2010, or between April and May of 2011, and it's not hard to see that things can get hairy in a hurry, as far as non-farm payrolls go.
Even as weak as this morning's report is, it likely won't change the Fed's stance on QE3. Most market watchers say we'll need at least one more jobs report, and maybe another GDP number on top of that, before Mr. Bernanke makes a move. "It's going to take more than two weak employment reports for the Fed to come in and do something,â€
2011 All Over Again
Guy LeBas and Jill Kalani at Janney Montgomery say its deja vu all over again:
Just as the US economy experienced payroll softening in spring 2011, the same thing seems to be happening yet again in 2012…Today's less-than-favorable expansion helps confirm our belief that winter's strong hiring pace was as much about unusually warm weather as it was about the underlying employment situation.
Stock Check
Oh, and btw, the market is right back to acting as we thought it probably might. Dow futures, after peaking at +20 points at around 8:35 or so, is now off 43 points. The Stoxx Europe 600, ever-sensitive to big U.S. data points like this one, have also reversed their weird post-release pop and are near the day's lows, down 0.9%.
What Are All Those Kids Doing?
So the teen unemployment rate was flat with a year ago at 24.9%. But do you know what the participation rate is for teens? It's 33.8%. What are all those kids doing?
Wither the Rally?
So, like I wrote this week, the rally that started in October was hanging by the two points the Dow cleared in April. With this jobs report, where's the rally stand now? The bulls still running this show?
Going the Wrong Way
QE3? Investors Say "Meh"
Can't exactly say investors are reading this weaker jobs report as a call for more quantitative easing. A quick glance at the other asset classes shows that the dollar has weakened just a bit since the report release, with the euro now up at $1.3141 after briefly turning positive against the greenback.
Crude oil is tanking, now at the day's lows and threatening to fall below $100 for the first time since February. Gold, which had spiked up initially, is now up just a touch at $1636.50 an ounce. This doesn't speak too much for QE expectations.
Why Did the Unemployment Rate Drop?
WSJ's Phil Izzo explains the decrease in the unemployment rate. The bottom line? "Even though the broader rate dropped, there were more discouraged workers in April and the number of part-time employees who want full-time work also increased," he says.
The Economy Needs a Six-Pack of Jolt
This report leaves the economy stuck, somewhere between stall speed and escape velocity, and feeling — uncomfortably — like it's closer to the former than the latter.
The economy needs a six-pack of Jolt Cola, but who's gonna buy it? The central banks, primarily the Fed and ECB, have made it clear they don't want to do more, they want the politicians to take up the mantle. But the politicians have proven adept at one thing only: kicking little round bits of aluminum down asphalt lanes.
Do they even still make Jolt Cola? That's not a metaphor or rhetorical question; I'm really asking.
Jobs? Investors Want France/Greek Elections
Not much to see here, says Russ Certo of Gleacher & Co.: "It was the perfect number to not do business. Average hourly earnings weakness may get some traction. I think players will quickly move on to the prospect that there is considerable uncertainty this weekend in the form of French and Grecian elections."
Don't Sugarcoat: This is Bad Data
Don't let the talking heads on CNBC fool you. This is bad jobs data. "The negatives clearly outweigh the positives in today's report," wrote Jeffrey Greenberg, an economist at Nomura Securities. "This definitely highlights the challenges for monetary policy." Last week Nomura said it didn't expect the Fed to implement QE3. Now? "This surely will bring more discussion of "QE3″ into the June FOMC meeting (especially if the May report is weak, too), but this report is not sufficient to make it our baseline expectation."
Who exactly is hiring?
This is interesting. The official unemployment rate has dropped to 8.1% from 9% last April. Great, good, sounds peachy. The participation rate has dropped to 63.6% from 64.2% last April.
So, you decide for yourself. How much of the drop in the unemployment rate is due to job creation, and how much is due to people just leaving the labor force?
They ain't getting hired by Instagram, that's for sure.
The Corporate Angle
With private-sector and jobs growth overall sluggish again, does this bode well for corporate profit margins in the second quarter? After all, if companies aren't hiring, that goes a long way towards bringing down costs for (still-)belt-tightening Corporate America. Of course, if nobody out there is hiring, it's just a matter of time before that starts hitting top-line revenues.
Dow Low Now
Stock futures are now scraping the day's lows: DJIA off 51 points.
Here's the Glass Half Full Take
Sure, the April data were disappointing. But earlier months were revised higher. And the longer-term uptrend is still intact. Here a quick take from Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics:
Disappointing but we think it is a correction after a run of very strong household employment numbers rather than a shift in the trend. Overall, soft but most unlikely to prompt further Fed action, given the depth of the opposition within the FOMC. It would take at least another couple of months of reports like this, or worse, to trigger QE3. Won't be necessary.
Where are The Jobs Going to Come From?
Who's going to do the hiring?
The hiring pace the past two months is maybe just enough to keep up with population growth. There's a certain amount of hiring that's just a result of the growth in the nation. You know, people being born (and growing up), immigrating, that sort of thing.
What's needed is hiring beyond that source. We need a driver, a fundamental thing that can spur growth, whether it's high-tech, housing, energy, whatever. We don't have that thing right now, and until we find it, we're going to be stuck in this rut.
Call the Close
Ok, folks, it's call the close time. JC and Pauly V, where do you see stocks finishing today? I say Dow down 34 points.
Call the Close
Stevie, I'm going to go a bit contrarian and say we end the day higher, not because of QE3 hopes (non-existent this morning, it appears) but simply because the initial reaction gave us a glimpse into how baked-in the lower expectations for the jobs report was.
We'll see the usual ebbs and flows, that little bump after 11 when Europe closes, the mid/late-afternoon levitation, but they'll fade 'em to the closing bell. No reason to stay exposed after this dud of a report and also when we've also got those elections in France and Greece over the weekend.
Dow closes down, I'll call it, 87.
Mixed Views Across the Board
So we have pessimistic Paul, even Steven, and upbeat JC. I like it.
One final thought from Barclays economists, who describe the data as a "mixed report" that will keep the Fed on alert:
We look to the upcoming May and June employment reports to provide more clarity on whether the recent volatility in the data is mainly weather-induced or driven by a more fundamental softening in hiring. In terms of policy, we do not believe today's report is sufficient to shift the Fed into action at the June meeting, but we believe the Fed will certainly remain alert and in the position of monitoring the incoming data flow carefully.
Another Jobs Friday in the Books
Stocks open lower after the disappointing data The Dow is down 52 points, the S&P 500 is off 7 points and has fallen below its 50-day moving average. The Nasdaq Comp is off 24 points. Crude is getting hit hard, off 2.3%, while gold and silver have edged slightly higher. 10-year Treasury yield is down to 1.903%.
Jon and Paul, thanks a bunch for your expert analysis. And to the MarketBeat faithful, thanks for following and stay tuned all day for more reaction and analysis.

If legislators are really looking for expensive, ineffective government programs to eliminate, they can start with HB 147, the bill to add homicide committed in the course of a "home invasion" to the list of crimes punishable by execution.
A parade of speakers, including Sr. Helen Prejean and local clergy members, relatives of homicide victims, members of the Death Penalty Study Commission, Amnesty International members from Hanover High School, civil libertarians, and the former President of the NH Psychiatric Association drew on theology, psychology, human rights, and fiscal responsibility to clearly outline why the legislation takes the state in the wrong direction.
Margaret Hawthorn told the Senators about the murder of her daughter, Molly Hawthorne-MacDougall, in her own home last year. "Another death would only increase my family's trauma and would not bring Molly back. The bill being discussed today could make a case like hers capital because her murder happened in the contest of a home invasion."
"Molly would not want anyone killed in her name," Hawthorne said.
But the minority viewpoint in the room was a loud one; the death penalty expansion bill is sponsored by Speaker of the House William O'Brien, who represents the town of Mont Vernon, where the horrific murder of Kimberly Cates took place and who sees the bill as one of his top priorities. Prior to the hearing, O'Brien worked out amended language preferred by the Attorney General's office to more clearly time the concept of "home invasion" to the crime of burglary. With that change, the bill will be supported, too, by Gov. John Lynch.
Larry Vogelman, an experienced defense attorney who served on last year's Death Penalty Study Commission, explained that even though a slim majority of commissioners favored retaining the death penalty on the books, very few favored expansion. He also noted they were in agreement that the death penalty is far more expensive to administer than the likely alternative: treating crimes now covered under the capital murder statute as first degree murder, the penalty for which is a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment. At a time in which millions of dollars of cuts in services are being debated, one might expect a voice for fiscal responsibility to be welcomed. But that won't happen unless Senators hear a louder outcry from constituents.
Opposition to the bill was organized by the NH Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, in which the AFSC is active.

"Can't Understand Normal Thinking comes at you from all angles. It's hard, it's heavy, it's groovy (yeah, I said it, it's groovy). At times it almost makes you check to make sure someone didn't magically change the CD in your CD player (more on this in a minute). ThroatpuncH is not for the faint at heart. This is no canned, point and click CD that someone threw together a mixed bag of auto-tuned vocals and tracks on.

Looking to see if this works. Since taking metfor min have terrible bouts with diarrhea.
I am taking 25 mg of metoprolol xl as well as Nardil 3 times a day. I was off the Nardil from Nov. of last year until the last couple of months. I am having problems with diarrhea, sore mouth, depression as well as sleep disturbances. Has anyone taking these two medications together had any similiar side effects. My Cardiologist is on vacation but his nurse seems to think that it may be one of my other medications Trazadone. I have taken the trazadone along with Nardil for over 10 years. As most of you know there are limitations on what medications you can take while on Nardil. I tried several other medications before going back on the Nardil but had so many side effects and the return of migraines that it wasn't worth what it was doing to my body. Help!!

The spirit of giving is alive and well in three 12-year-old girls. Becca Reynolds of Denning and Halie Travis and Heather Foster of Neversink held a shelter drive for the Sullivan County SPCA last month. They went door-to-door handing out fliers about their drive, offering pickup service.
United Methodist Church in Grahamsville donated 80 pounds of cat litter that was anonymously donated to them. Family friend April Schumacher of Grahamsville held an Origami Owl jewelry party and asked invitees to bring a shelter donation.
"We knew they have a lot of animals there," said Becca, "so we figured they could use plenty of supplies. They were nice to us and thanked us. It felt good."
"A huge 'thank you' to Becca Reynolds, Halie Travis and Heather Foster," said a grateful Dana Hawk, president of the SCSPCA. "They worked really hard through social media and putting up fliers, etc., and donated more than 500 pounds of dog food, 400 pounds of cat food and cat litter, not to mention all the toys and blankets."

Skip to comments.San Francisco to rename street after Pelosi
Posted on 05/21/2012 10:32:09 AM PDT by y6162
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee will rename a street after former-Speaker Nancy Pelosi today in Golden Gate Park.
"Middle Drive East" which connects Martin Luthjer King Jr. Drive and John F Kennedy Drive in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park will now be renamed in honor of Pelosi and her 25 years of service in Congress.
(Excerpt) Read more at campaign2012.washingtonexaminer.com ...
Stretch Ave. to connect JFK and MLK!
You have to drive on it to find out what street it is.
At least we can begin a "Piss on Pelosi" street whilst waiting for our chance to piss on her grave.
Sh!thead street?
Botox Boulevard
Is it a dead end?
Or a one way street with no right turns?
Seriously, the jokes write themselves here
Will it be a *dead end street* ?
Any Speaker of the House who tells the American people "we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it" is not worth taking seriously about anything, and certainly, in a sane locale, would not be given any sort of honor at all.
I did not know that Nancy was a transexual.
It will surely need speed bumps, frequent repaving, pothole patrols, frost heave warning signs, turtle crossings and a left lane only.
Batshit Crazy Blvd?...That just won't work!
Whore House Lane or Botox Blvd?
I would have gone with Lombard, the crookedest street in 'Frisco...
"Dead End" is what I was thinking. A much better, more realistic name for a street in San Francisco, 'cause ulimately that is where the road they take will lead.
Liar Lane, Anti America Ave, Commie Crossing, Socialist St
I read that as Middle East Dr.
The thing I remember most about SF was watching the evening news showing the gays raiding Fredericks of Hollywood. They emptied it to the bare walls. We had just left that area an hour before because we didn't want to be out on Halloween. If there was any city that should have a street named after Pelosi, SF is it.
....cause, after all, she really has made the world a better place (extreme sarcasm)
next to a swamp?
Botox Blvd I beat you to it. lol
LOL Thank you.
LOL Thank you.
So now I guess Lombard St. will only be the SECOND most crooked street in San Francisco!! LOL.....
I ended up on a one way street in Jacksonville Flordia that intersected a cross street that was one way both ways.
It was three streets meeting, no matter which way you went at the intersection, you were going the wrong way.
That is exactly how any street named after San Fran Nan should be set up.
My first thought on her bs.
I guess Baltimore can be overlooked because they named a street after her when she became the first female speaker, before she showed her true idiocy.
Dead At Both Ends is more like it.
Hasn't she been ridden enough?
It's the yellow brick road!
I assume the road runs downhill ....
Now I hate to tell such a plain truth, but I must — the bulk of San Francisco's liberality seems sometimes actuated by a love of applause. She don't always take kindly to a good deed for a good deed's sake, but pat her on the head, and flatter her, and say Bully, bully, bully, is the great Metropolis of the Pacific, and she will break her neck trying to accomplish that good deed. You get Dr. Bellows to glorify her princely liberality in ten telegraphic sentences, at forty cents a word, and down they come with $20,000 for the Sanitary Fund! They always respond when 'Glory' calls but they are sometimes slow to respond when they are not going to be applauded.
- quoted in "False to Thee," San Francisco Daily Dramatic Chronicle, 16 January 1866, p. 2. ("Mark Twain").
San Francisco liberals often "do it for the glory" of being applauded, but seldom try to help you, or any other human being, otherwise. Indeed, it can be a very cold, unwelcoming city despite all its "liberal" pretenses.
Watch out for the enormous manhole.
Botox Lane
The road is in a park.
No businesses on that road.
if Queen Nancy is crossing her street, can we run her over? /s
I drive on that street every day going to and coming back from work. They re-paved it a few months ago. Now I know why. Yuck!
I didn't think they'd be allowed to use profanity on a street sign, but once again San Francisco proves that anything goes there.

A woman was robbed at knife point in the parking lot of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, according to Plains Township police.
Police said the 47-year-old victim pulled into a parking space Tuesday night, and a man came up to the car, pulled the door open and put a knife to the woman's neck, demanding that she hand over her purse or he would kill her.
The man tried to grab the purse but the woman held on and began sounding her car horn, police said. She suffered a minor cut on her pinky finger from the knife, police said.
Although police were unable to find the man, they said he did not get the purse.
The woman described the man a white male in his mid-20s with brown hair, wearing a baseball cap, jeans and a long-sleeved tan plaid flannel coat and believed the man was under the influence, police said.

i love cheese
just remember 10^5 is equal to 100,000 and this is only for one second. if you multiply 100,000 by 10 you will get how many calculations it can make in 10 seconds.
Thanx Asi and Cheese.... EAT MY CHEESEY POOP
Step 1: Find out what 10 to the 5th power is equal to. it = 100,000
Step 2: Multiply 100,000 by 10
Step 3: your answer = 1,000,000
Thanks a lot Amanda, the only smart one around here!

Generation Terrorists
|Generation Terrorists
|Studio album by Manic Street Preachers
|10 February 1992
|July–December 1991
|Black Barn Studios in London, England
|Steve Brown, The Bomb Squad (track 8)
|Manic Street Preachers chronology
|Singles from Generation Terrorists
Generation Terrorists is the debut studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers, it was released on 10 February 1992 through record label Columbia.
On the back of significant media attention and a "disproportionately high press profile" generated by the band's previously released single "Motown Junk" from 1991,[1] Generation Terrorists was long-awaited by critics[2] thanks to the members' proclamation that their debut would be the "greatest rock album ever"[3] and sell around sixteen million copies around the world, "from Bangkok to Senegal".[4] Recorded between July and December 1991 and released in February 1992, the album did not meet these sales figures but it was nonetheless ultimately certified Gold in the United Kingdom[5] and also charted within the Top 100 in Japan.[6]
Generation Terrorists was recorded by tracking (the band recording each instrument separately rather than playing it as a live band and then adding the overdubs later) over a period of twenty-three weeks at Blackbarn Studios, near Guildford, England. Despite being credited in the album notes, lyricist Richey Edwards did not play on the album; instead, all guitar parts were played by vocalist James Dean Bradfield.
Musical style[edit]
Describing the album's musical style, The Quietus opined "It had to sound passé, it had to be overdone; if you're trying to bulldoze the shiny edifice of western pop culture, you can't do it tastefully or with subtlety, can you? [...] Generation Terrorists intentionally overplays its hand, overeggs its pudding and spunks its load at every turn".[7] and Pitchfork writer Joe Tangari wrote that Generation Terrorists "walked a weird line between agit-punk, cock rock, romantic melodicism and glam, and was so obviously patterned after The Clash's London Calling that it was actually kind of cute."[3] Allmusic, Rolling Stone and PopMatters labeled the album as "hard rock, glam rock and punk rock," respectively.[8][9][10] Other influences on the album's sound include Guns N' Roses and New York Dolls.[9]
Lyrical content[edit]
All lyrics were written by Nicky Wire and Richey Edwards. All music was written by James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore (except "Damn Dog", which is a cover version of a song by the Sleez Sisters from the 1980 movie Times Square). The album's lyrics are politicised similar to that of The Clash and Public Enemy,[11] with the album's songs regularly switching from a critical focus on global capitalism to more personal tales of despair and the struggles of youth.[12] Examples of the more politically inspired side of Generation Terrorists include the opening track "Slash 'n' Burn", which concerns "third world exploitation",[12] the track "Repeat (Stars and Stripes)", a remix of the band's own anti-monarchy tirade by Public Enemy production team The Bomb Squad[13] and "Another Invented Disease", a song whose title was deliberate word play on AIDS and referred to a conspiracy theory insinuating that the virus was manufactured by American biological warfare scientists.[13]
Other tracks combine personal and political themes, implicating a connection between global capitalism and personal struggle; "Nat West-Barclays-Midlands-Lloyds" was written as a critique of overseas banking credit policies, but also concerned Richey Edwards' issues involving overdrafts and refused loans.[14] Marc Burrows of Drowned in Sound considered the song to be an accurate prediction of "global financial meltdown" and its effects on everyday life.[15] The single "Motorcycle Emptiness", meanwhile, criticizes consumerism as a "shallow dream"[14] that makes human life overtly commercialized.[15] "Little Baby Nothing", a duet between Traci Lords and Bradfield, was described by Priya Elan of the NME as a "perfect snapshot of [female] innocence bodysnatched and twisted".[16]
Wire and Edwards' love of poetry is also evident in their lyrics. Stuart Maconie of Select speculated that the album's lyrics were not primarily written for usage in song format: "You got the impression that often they haven't even been tried out in the mouth".[17] Instead, revolutionary slogans,[18] and rhyme-free verse conveying multiple messages[17] combine to create an album "drenched in Richey and Nicky's cut-n-paste lyrical agitation",[18] with vocalist Bradfield "fitting sentences along the lines of 'Nagasaki royal alienation consumer deathmask strychnine holocaust hate' into the restrictive confines of a melodic rock chorus."
The song has a different pace from all the other songs in the album. The lyrics were written by Richey and Nicky and presents a metaphor for the capitalist world.

Album cover[edit]
The cover was originally intended to be Andres Serrano's Pisschrist, a Jesus figure inside a tank of blood and urine, but Sony wanted to avoid any religious controversy; also, the royalty demanded for the piece was deemed excessive. Other ideas were the Bert Stern Marilyn Monroe photographs, a sandpaper sleeve that would scratch the album itself as well as anything else that it was shelved by (an old Situationist prank, this idea was used by Guy Debord for his first book Mémoires and by The Durutti Column for their first album The Return of the Durutti Column) as well as several other famous religious paintings.
The final front cover of the album was a picture of Edwards' left arm and chest. The arm had a tattoo of a rose with the words "useless generation" in capitals underneath, which was changed to "generation terrorists". This was not without problems, as the original pressing had made Edwards' flesh to be bright pink as opposed to the intended mustard. The back cover featured a design similar to their earlier New Art Riot EP cover, an EC Flag, though this time it was crumpled and in flames. The working title of the album was Culture, Alienation, Boredom & Despair (a lyric from the song "Little Baby Nothing").
Generation Terrorists was released on 10 February 1992.[2] The album sold sufficiently well to enter the UK Rock Chart at No. 1,[5] selling around 250,000 copies worldwide initially.[19] These sales coincided with the 1992 BRIT Awards, whose winners relegated Generation Terrorists to a peak of No. 13 in the UK Albums Chart.[5] Early pressings of the album contain a sample from A Streetcar Named Desire at the start of "Little Baby Nothing". It was removed from later pressings and doesn't appear on the legacy 20th anniversary edition of the album. The success of 1996's Everything Must Go at the 1997 BRIT Awards ensured that sales of Generation Terrorists and subsequent albums Gold Against the Soul and The Holy Bible enjoyed a late surge; the band's debut sold an extra 110,000 copies.[20]
In the US, the track listing was changed, and some of the more political tracks were dropped. "Democracy Coma" was added to make up for this; it was later released as the B-side to "Love's Sweet Exile"/"Repeat", and also appeared on Lipstick Traces (A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers). In addition, four tracks on the US release ("Slash 'n' Burn", "Nat West–Barclays–Midlands–Lloyds", "Little Baby Nothing" and "You Love Us") were remixed by Michael Brauer. These same four tracks also featured live drumming from American drummer Zachary Alford.
The album failed to chart in the United States, shifting only 35,000 units despite its "slick, arena-friendly rock sound", which Simon Price reasoned was because of the arrival of bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden as the "new rock-megastar elite".[21]
On 5 November 2012, Generation Terrorists was re-released for its 20th anniversary. There are five editions of the re-release: the original album; a two-disc Deluxe Edition with a bonus disc of demos and a DVD of the documentary film Culture, Alienation, Boredom, Despair, about the making of the album – when purchased from the Rough Trade record store in London it also included a free ticket to a showing of the documentary film, followed by an acoustic gig with James Dean Bradfield on 6 November; a four-disc Limited Edition (3,000 copies worldwide), including, in addition to the contents of the two-disc edition, a replica of a Generation Terrorist tour VIP pass; a 10" collage by Richey Edwards; a 10" vinyl LP of a rare Manics radio performance; and a 28-page book from Nicky Wire's personal archive.[22]

Soon after its release Generation Terrorists was greeted with a favourable reception from magazines such as Kerrang! and RAW,[5] along with a number 15 placing in the NME Albums of the Year list for 1992.[31] Andy Gill, music critic for The Independent, highlighted in a review of the album's 2012 reissue that the music was "derided as sub-Clash" in other contemporary appraisals, but remarked that it "now has an astringent edge".[28] The album's length[24][26] and lack of "quality control"[12][26][32] were common criticisms. Richey Edwards admitted that "everybody knows the first album would have been better if we'd left out all the crap."[12] The underproduction of the album was a common cause of complaint among the band's adherents until the superior mix of the Anniversary Edition in 2012.
Nevertheless, by 2012 critic's perception of Generation Terrorists had remained generally positive. In their retrospective review of the album, The Quietus wrote, "Generation Terrorists should be celebrated, because among its messy feast of ideas it remembers to be fun. There's a cleansing and creative glee in its righteous rage and cultural destruction that's rarer in Gold Against the Soul and The Holy Bible."[7] Allmusic wrote, "Since the Manics deliver these charged lyrics as heavy guitar-rockers, the music doesn't always hit quite as forcefully as intended", stating that the "relatively polished production and big guitar sound occasionally sell the music short, especially the lesser songs", but calling the band's passion "undeniable, even on the weaker cuts [...] Debut albums rarely come as ambitious as the Manic Street Preachers' Generation Terrorists."[8]
NME listed Generation Terrorists as the 18th greatest debut album from the last 50 years, describing the record as "angry as it was bright, the Manics blowtorched their manifesto in pulverising punk guitar squeals."[33] In a 2012 "In Depth" feature, Dom Gourlay of Drowned in Sound declared Generation Terrorists to be the most important debut of the 1990s.[34] In a February 2011 issue of Q it was voted by readers at #77 in "The 250 Best Album's of Q's Lifetime" featuring albums between 1986 and 2011.[35] The same magazine gave the record the award for Classic album in the Q Awards in 2012.[36]

BALTIMORE � Will Middlebrooks will get at-bats as the designated hitter on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Pawtucket starting Friday, his first at-bats since he broke his right index finger on May 16.
Middlebrooks still can�t either completely bend or completely straighten his finger, and it�s the latter that prevents him from throwing a ball without pain � which is preventing him from playing third base. That will come later.
Once Middlebrooks is able to play third base again, the Red Sox will have some decisions to make. It�s possible that, once activated, Middlebrooks will play third base against lefties with Xander Bogaerts shifting over to shortstop.
After several �encouraging� days of work in his running and ability exercises, as John Farrell characterized them, Shane Victorino is expected to go out on a rehab assignment sometime this weekend as well. How many games Victorino might need will depend on how his hamstring feels once he gets back on the field � and the Red Sox will be cautions.
�We have to prioritize his needs,� Farrell said. �If there�s a third failure, going down for the same reason, then we�re in a situation we don�t want to be into.�

In December 2007 I called the 800 number to cancel the service due to the fact I was moving out of the state of Florida for good. I already had a competitive service at my home state and did not needed their services any longer.
I ask the person numerous times if this was all I had to do, the answer was yes.
Months pass and I never heard from them anymore by mail or e-mail. So I considered the matter closed.
On December 2008 while balancing my bank account I found a People Pc charge on the account. After further research I came across that People Pc have been charging my account all along. They never canceled the service.
When I called People Pc their rep keep asking for a confirmation number. When I called People Pc for the cancellation call their rep never mentioned any confirmation number even thou I asked numerous times.
While on the phone with the rep at one point he covered the phone mike and I could hear him laughing.
It shows that People Pc have no regard for customer service. I guess it is funny to them to Rip Off the customer.

Converting images with Kim
With a Konqueror-integrated service menu called Kim, you can modify and manipulate image files through a handy context menu.
Whereas Windows has let applications
add functions to the
Explorer file manager for some
time, KDE version 3.2 was the first version
of KDE to give users this ability.
KDE 3.3 included a version of Konqueror
with a separate context menu for image
files. Thanks to this menu, users can
right click to view, rotate, and scale
images directly from within Konqueror.
The KDE Image Menu ( Kim) by
Charles Bouveyron [1] takes this feature
a step farther. Kim gives you far more
options than a Windows user can
expect. The context menu allows users
to convert, compress, rotate, crop, and
mail images in various formats via Konqueror.
The program can even create an
MPEG clip from an image directory. Kim
draws on the functionality of the
ImageMagick [2] image manipulation
program and Mpegtools [3]. Kim also
integrates Kalbum [4], a KDE program
designed for creating Web galleries and
photo albums.
