After quite a bit of back-and-forth, Harvard does the wrong thing. Well worth watching, if head-bangingly frustrating. [Read more…]
The thing about a village is,
There's nowhere you can hide
Cos everyone knows everyone
(A point of village pride) [Read more…]
Once again, recent events call out an older verse. I fucking hate it when that happens.
[…S]ome civil libertarians and women's rights advocates worry that if Gibbs is convicted, the precedent could inspire more prosecutions of Mississippi women and girls for everything from miscarriage to abortion — and that African Americans, who suffer twice as many stillbirths as whites, would be affected the most.
Mississippi has one of has one of the worst records for maternal and infant health in the U.S., as well as some of the highest rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease and among the most restrictive policies on abortion. Many of the factors that have been linked to prenatal and infant mortality — poverty, poor nutrition, lack of access to healthcare, pollution, smoking, stress — are rampant there.
"It's tremendously, tremendously frightening, this case," said Oleta Fitzgerald, southern regional director for the Children's Defense Fund, an advocacy and research organization, in Jackson. "There's real fear for young women whose babies are dying early who [lack the resources to] defend themselves and their actions."
Jennifer, Jennifer, got herself pregnant,
The poor, irresponsible slut.
See, boys will be boys, so it's up to the girls
To be moral, and keep their legs shut.
But Jennifer, Jennifer, couldn't be bothered;
She led her young Billy astray.
They met, after classes, at Jennifer's house,
And now there's a kid on the way.
Jennifer, Jennifer, wants an abortion—
She says she's too young for a baby—
But the law of the land says abortion is murder;
The answer is no, and not maybe.
See, murder is murder; we cannot condone
The destruction of innocent life.
And Billy, of course, is an innocent, too,
And he's much, much too young for a wife.
So Jennifer, Jennifer, finds herself caught
In the view of a watchful Big Brother,
And Country and Church have a task on their hands—
How to keep the babe safe from its mother.
If murder is murder, for fetus or child,
Then surely assault is assault;
A fetus is damaged by drinking or smoking,
And all of it, Jennifer's fault.
If Jennifer, Jennifer, falls down the stairs
Then the baby inside could be harmed;
And since that poor child is a ward of the state
It is right we should all be alarmed!
So Jennifer, Jennifer, needs to be safe
For the sake of the babe in her womb;
To keep the poor innocent safe from all harm,
Let's keep Jennifer locked in her room.
But Jennifer, Jennifer, isn't the first
Nor the last to be pregnant, you see.
The task that's before us—protecting our children—
Is crucial, I think you'll agree.
With the passing to law of my modest proposal,
I honestly think we'll prevail.
It's simple: Each woman who finds herself pregnant
Must spend the next nine months in jail.
Jennifer, Jennifer, shielded from harm
In a cell with a toilet and cot
With a closed-circuit camera, an unblinking eye,
For the safety of Jennifer's tot.
When at last you deliver your new baby boy
We'll whisk you right out through the door;
We care about kids while they're inside your womb—
Once they're out, we don't care any more.
And Jennifer, Jennifer, can't find her Billy—
Besides, he's too young for a wife—
She weighs her alternatives, looks down each road…
And reluctantly takes her own life.
And the church says a prayer for the baby unborn
And a heartfelt and tearful farewell.
But Jennifer, Jennifer, so says the church,
Will be heading directly to hell.
There is, unfathomably, a lot of talk recently about what should have been settled long ago. What *was* settled long ago. And when even Jimmy Carter points to religion as a root cause of violence against women, there is no question which side atheists should be on.
My darling corporate entity
I've loved you from the start
One hundred ten percentity,
With more than just my heart
I told you what I meantity
In poetry and prose
You showed your discontentity
And that's the way it goes.
My sweetheart business enterprise
I tried to win you back
I told you my intenterprise—
You told me what I lack
My capital I'd spenterprise
But you would not invest
My future's in descenterprise—
My value is depressed.
My love, my all, my syndicate—
Forever and beyond!
I note, to my chagrindicate,
My word's my only bond
I'd fight through thick and thindicate
To have you as my bride
I know I cannot windicate;
You know, at least, I tried
My darling corporate entity
I've loved you from the start
One hundred ten percentity,
With more than just my heart
I told you what I meantity
In poetry and prose
You showed your discontentity
And that's the way it goes.
Yeah… put "loving you back" as another difference between the kind of people known as "corporations" and the kind of people known as "people". "Going to jail" is another thing corporations can't do. We'll find out pretty soon whether "discrimination" is yet another.
An article on politics—
No if, no ands, no buts—
Will bring out Libertarians
Who'll demonstrate they're nuts
But also arch-conservatives
And liberals by the score
Who'll engage in verbal fisticuffs
And all return for more.
An essay on religion—
Any angle you might choose—
An opinionated blog post
Or the fair and balanced news
Will find arguments aplenty
By extremists on both sides
(Oh, and everyone's extremist)
As predictable as tides
A feminist perspective—
On whatever thing you want—
Will, like maggots on a rotting corpse,
Erupt in shouts of "cunt!"
Any argument transmogrified,
Distorted, shouted down;
The important thing is showing
Who's the big dog in this town
A report about the climate,
Evolution, or vaccines,
Gun control, or education,
GM foods, or gay Marines—
In the comments, it's a certainty,
As daytime follows night,
That opposing sides will gather there
And then begin to fight.
A picture of a kitten—
Or a puppy, or some ducks—
The comments start with "ooh!" and "squee!"
And then—"Obama sucks!"
Or a photo of a fetus
Or "nice pussy!" or some threat…
It's depressing; it's disturbing;
It's annoying… it's the 'net.
I was going to link the article that inspired this particular verse, but it frankly doesn't deserve singling out. And I don't mean that in a positive way–it does deserve being seen as shameful… but so do countless others that could just as easily have inspired today's verse… and, to some extent, did, I guess. I am sure you've had the experience (unless you have taken the very good advice of NEVER READ THE COMMENTS!!!!) of reading some innocuous piece of reporting, or some blog post (whether a report on breaking news, new science, or what the writer did last night or found in their shoes this morning), and there in the comments, a non-sequitor (or at best, tangential) comment linking the writing to the commenter's particular grudge–Obama, usually, or atheists or christians or muslims or libertarians or gays or blacks or trans or women or mentally ill or republican or democrat or jews or nazis or activists of all sorts… it will depend on who are the naturally occurring flora and fauna at that particular site. If your experience is with completely different accusations, all that means is that you read different sites than I do.
almost doesn't matter what the original writing was about; the real action is in the comments. People who say this is a post-racial society… don't read the comments. People who say this is a post-feminist society… don't read the comments. People who say the real victims today are conservative white Christian males… don't read the comments. Reading the comments is like turning on the lights in a filthy room–you see things you really wish you had not.
I think I'll go shower now.
There are accidents and incidents
And surgeries and wars—
There's a constant need for blood, and so,
We'd like to borrow yours.
You can spare a pint or so a month—
We'll take it from your arm—
And to make the process easier,
I'm setting up a farm:
We'll keep you while you serve your term,
Three-quarters of a year,
And harvest blood and marrow—
For the greater good, it's clear
You'll be saving lives by dozens
So you'll gladly do your part
Sure, we're forcing your donation
Still, it's coming from your heart
You're in servitude to others
It's a slavery of sorts
But you're saving lives, and so we know
You're good and willing sports
You can put your wishes second
You can put your life on hold
You can meet your obligations
You can do what you are told
You claim rights we cannot trample
Or shout "Freedom!" till you're hoarse
You have life inside your bloodstream…
If we have to, we'll use force
To complain's unpatriotic—
But extremists raise their voice
And they'll blather "it's my body"
And the foolish "it's my choice"
If the state controls your body
Then that argument's a dud;
For the sake of someone else, then,
We'll be harvesting your blood.
I doubt I need to put this in context.
It might be bad; it might be wrong;
An upskirt shot that shows a thong
But perverts told us all along
There is no law against it
Now Massachusetts' highest court
From justice fell extremely short;
Compassion, in today's report?
The courts had not dispensed it
Since lawyers live by splitting hairs
The clothing that a woman wears
In subway cars or café chairs
Defines her as "not nude"
So perverts, then, can snap away
The upskirt photo won the day
And, all too late, lawmakers say
The laws will be reviewed.
We have a freedom fetish in our culture. I don't think even Michael Robertson's own lawyer would argue that what he is doing is good, or right, or admirable. But, since a judge has ruled that there is no specific law that is being violated here, Robertson's loathsome behavior is–not good, not right, not admirable… and not illegal. Because the women he did not ask to take upskirt photos of were actually wearing clothes (thus, it seems to me, signaling to the world that they were not in the subway to serve as someone's masturbatory models, but were in fact commuting to or from work), they were thus not "nude or partially nude" (in which case, he'd have been violating Massachusetts' "Peeping Tom" law).
The law always is reactive–it took a while to catch up to video technology, and to the internet… We can't prescribe particular behaviors, because that infringes on freedom. We have to allow anything and everything that is not specifically prohibited. As such, it is the lot of some people to suffer indignities that are not against the law, until their case inspires new law… too late for these people.
Did I say "people"? Sorry, I meant "women".
The "protestant work ethic"
Was, we assumed,
Underlying the gains we had made.
A secular ethic, it's
Clear, left us doomed—
And an atheist one, much afraid!
Our country was built on the
Fear of a God
Who would smite us for sloth (it's a sin)
We have to believe, or
It's all a façade—
And the atheist communists win!
The theories assume that a
Godly belief
Is so useful, we don't need a test—
The thing is, they tested it:
Here's the motif—
The atheist way is the best!
Statistical evidence
Must be dismissed
Or, at least, we must say that it's fraud!
Or else, it is false, what
Believers insist…
Productivity hinges on God!
A recent article in the Journal of Institutional Economics explores the assumption that the protestant work ethic should be credited with… well, with all the warm fuzzies it is always credited with. And the answer is… no. Hemant has a version, too. This particular study focuses at the interstate US level; one cannot extrapolate to either an international level, nor an interpersonal level.
At the interstate level, though, religion is not predictive of entrepreneurial activity.
Mind you, there are partial answers at other levels. At an international level, for instance, an earlier article in the same journal suggests that some predictors of socioeconomic success (in particular, property rights and the rule of law) are negatively associated with religiosity.
The truth is, everything about us is complex. Nothing is simple–not even the relationship of god-belief to any given measure of culture. If anyone tries to tell you that the answer to everything is simple… the cool thing is, the answer to their proposition actually is simple.
Well, unless it's me. Me, you can believe. No, really.
Trust me.
Edit… I just looked at the recent FTB posts… if you have not yet, read this and/or this, either of which are far more important than the post you are currently reading.
If you give the people weapons, is this good or is it bad?
I suppose it all depends upon their aims
Up to now, there've been no data, so the arguments we've had
All rely on someone's a priori claims
"But of course we'd be much safer if most everyone was armed!—
Cos the criminals would know they could be shot!"
"No!—more guns would mean more shootings, and more children being harmed!"
But it's arguments, not evidence, we've got.
Now a natural experiment (Missouri" is its name)
Has an answer—and for some, it's no surprise;
Cos a jump in shooting homicides has policy to blame—
Ease of access means that murder rates will rise.
Via the BBC today, a report (from the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting, like yesterday's post) on a natural experiment on the effects of gun control legislation. Missouri, in 2007, repealed their requirement for licensing and vetting by local law enforcement before purchasing a handgun. So… was this good or bad? My gun-loving friends would predict an immediate drop in crime, now that handguns are easier to purchase, and potential victims are more likely to be armed. The data?
Reporting soon in the Journal of Urban Health, the researchers will say that the repeal resulted in an immediate spike in gun violence and murders.
The study links the abandonment of the background check to an additional 60 or so murders occurring per year in Missouri between 2008 and 2012.
"Coincident exactly with the policy change, there was an immediate upward trajectory to the homicide rates in Missouri," said Prof Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research.
"That upward trajectory did not happen with homicides that did not involve guns; it did not occur to any neighbouring state; the national trend was doing the opposite – it was trending downward; and it was not specific to one or two localities – it was, for the most part, state-wide," he told BBC News.
So… stopping a bad guy with a gun might involve making it harder for that bad guy to get the gun in the first place. According to the data. Which might explain why the NRA worked so hard to keep the data from being compiled and analyzed.
These arguments, these questions–they do have answers. There are data that could be examined. We need not simply argue from first principles.
And my friends who believe that the most important freedoms of all are those protected by the second amendment can start framing their arguments in terms of how many lives this freedom is worth. Freedom isn't free, after all. We can *expect* a cost in human lives–like in war, some things are worth a cost in blood and lives.
So… 60 extra murders per year in just one state. Freedom isn't free. But hey, these deaths buy you the ability to buy a handgun without a background check! So you can feel safer! Mind you, the actual data show that this feeling is an illusion, but you have a right to this illusion!
It must be depressing, to be a Scalia,
To see your words twisted in so many ways
To see your dissent—Windsor's warning—adorning
The arguments cited in favor of gays!
Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky—how lucky
The activists were, that you wrote your dissent!
Your snarking in Windsor turned, now, to a how-to;
They probably know that it's not what you meant!
I guess, in a way, we're all grateful you're hateful,
And focus your efforts on showing your wit;
Your sarcasm-laced "neener-neener" demeanor
Proved useful—well, after we translate a bit.
You couldn't resist, so, self-smitten, you've written
A road map to marriage as federal right
So, much as you think we abuse it, we'll use it,
And thank you, Scalia, for shining your light.

New Yorker Magazine Interview with Haig Kalbian
- 4/15 -- Haig V. Kalbian, Managing Partner, Kalbian Hagerty LLP, was recently interviewed by The New Yorker magazine about a $9 billion civil case involving his client, Glenn Stewart, a California resident and former chief executive of The International Banking Corporation (TIBC), a large bank in Bahrain.
In 2011, Ahmad Hamad Al Gosaibi and Brothers (AHAB) filed a civil suit against Stewart in federal court in Los Angeles seeking $9 billion in damages for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, and conspiracy (among other claims) under the laws of California, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain. After nearly two years of hotly contested litigation, Kalbian's aggressive pretrial tactics forced AHAB to dismiss the case.

The Saudi family conglomerate Ahmad Hamad Algosaibi & Brothers has settled a lawsuit it brought two years ago in California against Glenn Stewart, the former chief executive of a Bahraini bank owned by the company. The settlement is a small step in a much bigger case in which the Algosaibis allege they were defrauded by Maan al Sanea, a Saudi businessman married to a member of the Algosaibi clan. Mr. al Sanea has denied claims that he and his Saad Group orchestrated a $9 billion fraud with the help of Mr. Stewart, an American who was alleged to be a key lieutenant in the scheme.

Monday Dec. 22, 2008
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- Add this to the growing list of Plaxico Burress' problems: getting in a car crash and not having insurance on his nearly $140,000 Mercedes-Benz.
The New York Giants wide receiver was sued last week in Florida's Broward County Circuit Court for rear-ending a woman in May.
Compounding the Super Bowl star's defense, according to a document provided by the woman's attorney, is the fact his car insurance lapsed three days before the crash. A letter from Allstate says Burress neglected to pay his premiums.
Burress' attorney, Adam Swickle, declined comment. Burress is still serving a team suspension for shooting himself Nov. 29 in a nightclub with an illegally carried handgun.

To the Editor.
—Several years ago I asked an administrator of our state malpractice insurance fund to define "standard of care." He said that he had come to the conclusion that there was no standard of care. I didn't understand his comment until I read "Standards of Care" by Dr Argy.1 There is no one standard, there are several.I would propose a standard not mentioned in the article: the patient's standard of care. This is the standard expected of me, the physician, by the patient. It is the standard by which the patient judges my care as a physician. Indeed, there have been instances when I did not meet the other standards of care defined by Argy, including the personal, practical, and, if challenged, medicolegal standards, but I met the standard set by the patient. It is the implied standard I've met when the patient compliments my care;

Kenyon & Kenyon LLP successfully represented Toyota Motor Corp. in a long term patent litigation against American Vehicular Sciences (AVS). Originally brought by AVS in the Eastern District of Texas, the matter asserted 24 patents across seven separate cases – accusing essentially every major Toyota vehicular safety system. In the three years since the original filing, the Kenyon team filed 12 separate petitions for inter partes review (IPR) and won a stay in the E.D. Tex. pending resolution of the IPRs. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board granted each of the IPRs, and significant claims were cancelled or dropped. Additionally, the Kenyon team successfully petitioned the Federal Circuit for a writ of mandamus and the case was transferred from the E.D. Tex. to the Eastern District of Michigan, and filed various invalidity summary judgment papers, causing the plaintiff to drop a number of other asserted patents. In May of 2015, the E.D. Mich. granted the plaintiff's unopposed motions to dismiss with prejudice all of the remaining cases against Toyota. (2015)

Close to freeway. Not much more good about it. Very dated. Smelled bad. Toilet didn't flush without holding handle down. Air conditioning ran all night and room was still very hot. His motel is past it's prime and I do not recommend staying here.
The shower and the bed were both very nice. The staff was nice, and the location was convenient. I was randomly charged $20 for a pet fee for a dog. We don't own a dog. We caught the charge early and had it cancelled, but double check your bank account after you leave.
Great price. Excellent housekeeping. WiFi did not work. No refrigerator or microwave. Very crowded for breakfast.

"I heartily commend this book to new pastors. Get it and read it before you show up at your first appointment. Barbara Day Miller will save you from many a heartache and embarrassment. Though tagged as a new pastor's guide, most pastors I know will benefit by reading the New Pastor's Guide, especially the latter chapters about leading with musicians and guiding members of the congregation into worship leadership."
Reverend Daniel T. Benedict, Jr., Director of Worship Resources, General Board of Discipleship, United Methodist Church
"In the past couple of years, I have worshipped in about a hundred congregations. After that experience, I can tell you, HERE IS THE BOOK WE NEED! Barbara Day Miller packs this little book with a lifetime of the creative worship leadership and the inspired preparation of pastors to lead worship. Combining practical help with a deep theological understanding of, and heartfelt love of Christian worship, she gives pastors everything they need to lead God's people in prayer and praise."
William H. Willimon, Bishop, the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Barbara Day Miller is the Assistant Dean of Worship at Candler School of Theology in Atlanta, Georgia.

A NATION CHALLENGED: THE UNEMPLOYED; Attacks Hit Low-Pay Jobs The Hardest
By LESLIE EATON and EDWARD WYATT
Published: November 6, 2001
The terrorists who attacked the World Trade Center may have been trying to crush American capitalism and its masters of the universe on Wall Street. But the economic impact of the attack is felling a very different group of people: cooks, cabdrivers, sales clerks and seamstresses.
Workers in traditionally low-wage industries, like restaurants and hotels, retailing and transportation, have been hit hard in the fallout from Sept. 11, according to a new analysis from the New York State Department of Labor.
And a report released yesterday by the labor-backed Fiscal Policy Institute forecasts that almost 80,000 people will have lost their jobs by the end of the year and that 60 percent of these positions paid an average of $23,000 a year. That is far below the citywide average salary of roughly $58,000.
''The spillover effects hit the retail and service industries very hard in New York City,'' said James Parrott, the chief economist for the institute. ''And those tend to be lower-wage jobs.''
The sudden decline in these jobs marks a sea change in the economy since Sept. 11. Earlier this year, while the job market was softening, the losses were concentrated among white-collar workers like dot-com programmers, stockbrokers and advertising executives.
Now, they are concentrated among people like Kim Daily. A single mother of two, Ms. Daily worked her way up from a $6-an-hour-job picking up room-service trays to a $15-an-hour job stocking minibars at the World Trade Center Marriott.
When the hotel was destroyed on Sept. 11, so was her job. And she has not been able to find another one.
It is not for lack of trying; she stood in line for four hours outside a city-sponsored job fair but never even made it in the door. She has been talking to her union, but the only position available so far was so tip-dependent that she worried it would not cover her $700-a-month rent. A job bank had only a few hotel positions, and none paid anywhere near the $25,000 she earned at the Marriott last year.
''I don't want to go for less money,'' she said.
The changed job market raises huge challenges for the city at a time when hundreds of thousands of families have moved off the welfare rolls. The most successful of these former welfare recipients, as well as many newcomers to this country, found jobs at hotels and restaurants, as cleaners at office buildings and as messengers in Lower Manhattan.
''Now that the economy has exploded along with the World Trade Center, their prospects of staying in the world of work have diminished,'' said David R. Jones, president of the Community Service Society of New York, which has been helping workers who lost their jobs after Sept. 11.
His group is recommending a government-financed jobs program, he said. ''Otherwise, we'll have people sitting on stoops, getting a little check and doing nothing,'' he said.
How many New Yorkers are unemployed is unclear. In a government survey taken in the week of Sept. 11, in which anyone who worked at all was counted as employed, 223,100 people in New York City were looking for work (after adjustments for seasonal factors). That was an increase of almost 20,000 people in a month. The unemployment rate hit 6.3 percent.
The October survey will not be released for several weeks, but its results are included in federal figures, released Friday, that showed a surge in national unemployment, which rose by half a percentage point, to 5.4 percent. Unemployment insurance covers only about a third of unemployed workers, but the number of people applying for benefits in the city has soared. In the last month, an average of 12,745 people a week has applied; a year ago, that figure was 5,616.
A special program, Disaster Unemployment Assistance, is supposed to help those who are not eligible for unemployment insurance (usually because they worked part time or were self-employed). But only 2,350 people are now getting those benefits.
Almost 25,000 people told the New York State Department of Labor that they lost their jobs because of the trade center disaster. An analysis of the first 22,000 of those claims found that about 16 percent worked at bars and restaurants, 14 percent worked at hotels and 5 percent worked in air transportation. Only 4 percent worked at Wall Street brokerage firms (many of which simply relocated workers to Midtown or New Jersey).
The largest group of people -- 21 percent -- worked in a category called business services. Many of them were temporary workers, like Lisa Mendes, a single mother who lost her job as an accounting clerk on Sept. 12. In years past, when one temporary job ended, she could pick and choose among the offerings at the agencies. Now, ''there's just nothing there,'' she said. ''It's scary.''
Ms. Mendes is typical of the unemployed in another way -- she lives in Brooklyn. The Labor Department analysis found that almost 26 percent of those who said they were jobless because of the twin towers collapse live in Brooklyn; 24 percent live in Queens, and 12 percent live in the Bronx. Just 18 percent live in Manhattan.

Skip to comments.Rep. Ellison says U.S. trying to ensure safe return of missing Somalis (Terrorist)
Posted on 07/18/2009 8:35:24 AM PDT by markedmannerf
St. Paul, Minn. Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison said the U.S. government is trying to ensure the safe return of some of the young Somali-American men believed to be fighting with a terrorist group in their homeland.
Ellison said he has been included in classified briefings about efforts to bring the missing men back to the Twin Cities.
At least four Somali-American men from Minnesota who left to fight in the Horn of Africa have died there in recent months.
One of youngest, a skinny teenager from Minneapolis named Burhan Hassan, was trying to leave the fighting and make his way to the U.S. embassy in neighboring Kenya, according to family members. They believe a fellow member of the extremist group Al-Shabaab shot Hassan to death when the group learned of his plans to escape.
(Excerpt) Read more at minnesota.publicradio.org ...
Some days you'd think it's been colonized by Somalis.
Why should our government spend one dime trying to ensure their safe return?They chose to go there and fight. The last thing we should want is for people like that to re-enter our country. Let them stay and enjoy living in an Islamic paradise.
Is Ellison the democrat who was sworn in with a Koran?
Exactly. To paraphrase: Once they go back, then never come back
Yes. And he is a Democrat, not a democrat.
Yeah, let's all help Ellison bring a few more terrorists back to the US!!
OK, if these guys are traveling to Somalia to fight in Somalia's wars, then how "American" are they? It's a fair question to ask. Like German-Americans who might have "gone home" to Germany in 1915 in response to a draft summons from the German government, it's fair to ask whether they were just sojourners and whether their U.S. citizenship meant anything to them.
I had an ancestor -- Irish -- who homesteaded some property in 1862, but then went to the British Embassy the next year when Lincoln began drafting Irishmen to fill uniforms, and obtained a little blue card (it's still among the family memorabilia, almost as fresh as the day it was issued), together with a letter of presents, showing his British nationality (and hence exemption from the draft). He apparently realized he was being used as immigrant cannon-fodder and responded using the legal recourse available to him. But it raised the interesting question of why was he able to homestead, on the one hand, without answering the draft on the other. Of course, Lincoln's draft was pretty cynical -- as well as legally very dodgy. There was no provision for the constitutionality of a direct levy of troops, or an income tax, but Lincoln did both, laying hands without qualms on things the Constitution never gave him, and punishing people who failed to comply.
Minnesota - Land that voted for Franken, Ventura and this Creep
Seems like you got insulted? Freepers are great Americans and I am PROUD to be one of them. Are you?
Not so sure about Franken. I think there was massive voter fraud and manipulation in that one. Hats off to Perry Mason, who would have been able to smell that fraud a mile away, unlike the Minnesota courts.
That's probably why Keith Ellison loves them so much.
What in the world are you talking about?
I prefer Demoncrat.
If the briefings were classified why is he disclosing them so that whoever is "holding" these people knows a rescue attempt is planned?
Muslim Keith looking out for muslim killers.
Expect many more to be imported in the the US.
Some days you'd think it's been colonized by Somalis.
Take a cab for transportation...
Say what you want but the Republican Governor did absolutely nothing to stop the fraud even with evidence shown directly to him.
But Hey, In Georgia we have a twice elected veterinarian who prayed to stop our drought.
Just a reminder to all that Senators and Congressman DO NOT HAVE OR NEED SECURITY CLEARANCE.
It has only been in the last couple of years that they have agreed to take sworn "secrecy oaths" for access to classified material.
But that is not clearance. They don't "need" clearance.
In contrast, some Congressional staffers - because they are not elected officials - DO usually obtain clearance.
It's all about the separation of powers.
But when you hear about classified information leaks to the Slimes and ComPost, remember this fact. Staffers can be prosecuted, Senators and Representatives have ZERO legal exposure.
I never did understand the Republican Governor thing. They must have had something on him is the only thing I could figure out.
No he is just as spineless as the rest of the RINOS. they do NOT respect our Country and the founding principles we were based on.
No laws requiring knowledge of the roads?
No laws requiring fluent speaking of English?
No guts everyone, no guts at all. And that is why we are in the mess we are in.
Sorry to hear that. I have family FROM MN and it is a shame what is going on.
Stand strong, our day will come again.
Ransom payments next? =.=
These men went to fight for allah......let him sort them out .
I reached my end.
Sworn in on Quran/Koran....Thomas Jefferson's acquired 1st edition Quran/Koran, to be exact. Jefferson acquired the 1st edition Quran/Koran so that he could better understand those whom he would/was fighting: the Barbary Pirates.
Een I understood what that was about- small "d" means someone interested in democracy, or as (the idiots in) the gov* and media* use it, freedom or liberty. Big "D" means the party run by Obama, Reid and Pelosi.
*They don't realize or care that democracy is never mentioned in the US Constitution.
And now the Democrats just get into bed with the enemy.
Good read
Why waste time and money trying to bring that muslim scum back to America? They wanted to become terrorists. They wanted to kill Americans. Let the terrorists kill them. I'll pay for ther bullets.
Oh! I forgot, these people like to behead their prisoners. OK! A penny saved is a penny earned, so I won't pay for the bullets.
>>> Are not these "young Somali-American men" guilty of Treason under Article 3, Section 3 of the Constitution? <<<
No one is guilty of treason anymore, because there's no such thing as a crime against America, and we are not justified in having enemies.
Even George Bush could not find it in himself to demand that Congress declare war against al Qaeda and the 25 other Muslim groups on the State Dept.'s (legally mandated) Deignated Terrorist list.
How many Somalis will there be in MN 20 years from now, from the evil spawn of 70,000 that Bill Clinton gave asylum? 200,000? 2 million? Every one an enemy of America and potential suicide mass murderer.
>>>> the Barbary Pirates. <<<<
After the Brits and Independence, America's first act of war was against the Muslim nations that were terrorizing, extorting, and enslaving shippers in the Med.
The French were happy to pay them off, Jefferson (and IIRC Adams) said No.
The jizya (extortion) was (I think) reaching 20 percent (more?) of the U.S. budget.
Sorry, it's a little foggy, easily remedied with a Google search which I'm too lazy to do right now.
Stop providing food stamps and other aid to these immigrants. they should come to America and be self sufficient.
WHAT ..????? "... included in classified briefings..."
This is the very reason you cannot trust the liberals with national security - THEY CAN'T KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT!!
When you attend "CLASSIFIED" meetings .. it means you can't reveal what you're being told.
Good luck MN .. you're going to need it.
Burhan Hassan, in 2005, after having received a certificate from the Abubakar mosque in Minneapolis. When he went missing, he was a senior in high school. By all accounts, he was a good student and was supposed to graduate on time in May. His mother wanted him to go to medical school. He disappeared Nov. 4, calling his mother two days later to say he was in Somalia.
Its official: 9/11 never happened.
we have too may of them here anyway.
right now as I type to you in Chicago Islamic nutters are having their meeting in the Hilton and the subject is about overthrowing this country and making it an Islamic one
In this undated photo released by the family at a news conference in December 2008, Burhan Hassan is seen. Hassan was one of many young Somali men who went missing from Minneapolis last year and according to his family was recruited by radical elements in Somalia. Hassan's family learned on Friday June 5, 2009 that the 17-year-old had been killed under mysterious circumstances and buried in Mogadishu.
'Unusual circumstances'?! He was FIGHTING in Somalia!
"The most recent disappearances happened last November, on Election Day. That's when 17-year-old Burhan Hassan and six of his friends seemed to vanish. As the rest of the Somali community in the Twin Cities' Cedar-Riverside neighborhood were watching the election returns, the boys slipped away, boarded a plane and headed to Africa."
I read a most interesting piece a while back, about the Somali teeners. They came here... didn't fit in... and reverted back to their radical ways... making their Jihad back at home. And Dennis needs all the Jihadis he can get here. How unfair... Somalia gets them all. Dang.
"The most recent disappearances happened last November, on Election Day. That's when 17-year-old Burhan Hassan and six of his friends seemed to vanish. As the rest of the Somali community in the Twin Cities' Cedar-Riverside neighborhood were watching the election returns, the boys slipped away, boarded a plane and headed to Africa."
At the time of their departure, Burhan Hassan, the 17-year-old, was a senior at Roosevelt High School; 18-year-old Mohamoud Hassan was studying engineering at the University of Minnesota; and 19-year-old Abdisalam Ali was studying health care at the University of Minnesota
Feisal Hassan, NCC student, feels that brainwashing is being aimed directly at Somali young men in the area. However, this topic disturbs him in other ways.
Its making the Muslim community look like we might all have ties to some terrorist groups when we dont. Each person chooses what they do. Just because someones really religious in their faith doesnt mean they have links to Al Qaida, Hassan said.
Minneapolis has the largest Somali population in the U.S., which, according to the Somali Advocacy Center in St. Paul, is estimated to be around 60,000.
Speaking for the majority of his fellow Somalis, Hassan expressed thanks to Americans for housing, educational opportunities and jobs. When the war is over, people say theyre going back to Somalia, Hassan said.
I guess were all like that, said Sadia Aden, another NCC Somali student who agreed.
Americas been nice for us, Hassan said. But, in the end, Somalia is our home.
Of course. Just what we need. jihadis in two branches of government.
You are misinterpreting the post. La Lydia is correct.
Again, no Bible or other document is required to take an oath of office in the United States. The Quaker option is built right into the US Constitution.
On the other hand, this Ellison guy is a FAKE MOSLEM, an APOSTATE, an HYPOCRITE ~ who all other real Moslems are required to kill on sight.
That hasn't happened yet but it's coming ~ the second he has no more political value, but, with him, that's no problem. He'll do whatever for political reasons. If we can take back the People's House he'll be over there groveling to us.
His kind is well known in this world.
These boys were obviously corrupted by living in the land of the Great Satan. They should redeem themselves in the eyes of Allah through martyrdom in Somalia
Who arranged the flight, the money, the food etc.?

I'm having a problem with automatic rules on Modified posts. In general things are fine, for instance it rewrites /posta/ nicely to /new-posta/.
Unfortunately, when for instance we are using links from Twitter, a Google Analytics campaign code is included: /posta/?ga_campaign=bla. In that case, it returns a 404 instead of redirecting. This can be solved by changing the redirect into a regexp one, but that is not done automatically. After changing to regexp is rewrites nicely to /new-posta/?ga_campaign=bla.
Is there a way to get this fixed automatically?
Best regards,

I bought insurance through AT&T but it expired the previous month as it was a two year warranty. I spoke with the branch manager Mike and informed him of my situation. Told him I want a 16G 4S, and was informed they only have the 4G. Told Mike I would take a 4G only if it came with a 30 day return policy as I wanted to buy a couple nice 4S Iphones for my wife and myself after December 1st. I was assured there is a 30 day return policy. I was then brought over to Jenn, the sales representative. Jenn is the young blond lady whom looks like she is about to have a wardrobe malfunction. If a lady dressed up like this at my work she would be reprimanded or terminated.
I informed Jenn of my situation and asked her what the return policy was. Jenn said you can return the phone within 30 days under her breath. I questioned her again as her response did not sound confident and again she reassured me. I remember at the time thinking it looked like she was lying but did not see why someone would lie about a return policy. She clearly knew there would not be any sale if the return policy was less than 30 days. I was hoping that either my wife would like the phone or I could return it and buy a nice 4S model in December for the both of us.
On December 5th, I went to the Verizon store to return the phone or upgrade. I went to the Temecula location as I was shopping in the area with my family. I was told that Verizon has a strict 14 day return policy. If you purchased the phone November 15th or later then customers were given an extended holiday return policy. I bought my Iphone in November 10th. I was shocked and then told, that I needed to drive 30 minutes away to the other store. I requested to speak with the Menifee branch and was connected. Jenn was not there nor was Mike the store manger I spoke too.
I spoke with Maisha who is a manager and she repeated the same information and that it is against company policy to return a phone after 14 days. I informed her that it should be against company policy to lie, steal, and cheat the customers. She told me that I could do an alternative switch, where I add a second line and purchased the 4S. When I asked what I should do with the original 4G, Maisha informed me that she cannot answer that question over the phone and I needed to speak with the branch I was in. For the second time I was thrown away like a piece of trash. Just terrible, terrible, terrible service everywhere.
A few days later I went back to the Menifee branch and found out that Mike no longer works for the company. I assumed he either was fired for lying to customers or he did not like working in an environment where stealing and cheating the customers is encouraged. I asked for the district managers contact information so that I would send a formal complaint. I was told that it is against company policy for me to contact a district manager, and I need to speak with a manager first and there were no managers on duty. Maisha is the new store manager. I was also told that there must have been a communication problem and it is my fault. I noticed that for the first time I saw a security guard with a gun located in the store. I guess they have many unhappy customers so they must need extra security. I work for the largest bank in the country and we are located in the same parking lot and we do not have any security.
I believe I am capable of having informative conversations with people. I have a Masters degree in finance and I have the ability to understand the difference between 14, 30 days, and have the ability to manage a calendar. When I ask, what is the return policy? I am able to comprehend a number and understand how it applies to my situation. I am a financial advisor and my job is to help people manage their life savings and develop advanced financial strategies. In order to do this I have to effectively communicate the information and disclose all material facts.
I have been a financial advisor for over ten years, and not one customer ever filed a complaint against me. This is all public information on FINRA. I work with a high degree of integrity and honesty. I expect to receive the same level of integrity and customer service that I provide from the companies I choose to work with. Unfortunately, some of the retail people at the Verizon Wireless store in Menifee are the most unethical, immoral, dishonest, pitiful, questionable, phone sales people in the industry. I have received TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE service from Verizon.
I am located in the same parking lot and see the evil Verizon store every time I look out my office window. I have already begun to inform all my employees and customers about the terrible service I received. I am in the process of canceling my relationships with Verizon starting with my home phone. The service works good but it is the principal. I waited a week to write this complaint as I have calmed down a bit. I consider lying from professional to be to be a very serious offense and people must be warned about the criminal corporate culture I have experienced from the Menifee store in California.

guardsman urchased a sectional from Bob's furniture 2010. Less than 3 years leather damage occurred. Called to utilize the GOOf PROOF insurance purchased for 129.00 dollars. Was told by customer rep. that because it was not a "specific" determinable incident that I was not covered. However, I could shell out more money for a technician to come to my home to repair the furniture. Then she told because I had paid for the GOOF PROOF service in the past that she could offer me a 10% discount. What an insult. I requested to speak to a manager. Internet

Of course she "Julia" was not available. I left a message informing the manager that I would be contacting the BBB and my State Attorney General. Also I researched that the Guardsman company has 720 complaints and that customers like myself have had MANY reasons given by customer representatives of why their damaged /soiled furniture COULD not be serviced by GUARDSMAN!

This is an insightful interview on Mathabane's views of American racism – it's pretty intense stuff and actually provided the inspiration for one of the teaching activities we created. This particular excerpt reveals Mathabane's thoughts on the similarities between black life in America and black life in South Africa under apartheid.
"When I came to the U.S. in 1978, I believed that America had long since resolved its racial problems, that blacks were equal citizens. In many ways, I found that to be true. The U.S. seemed to be a hundred years ahead of South Africa. Then I discovered, to my horror, that not much had changed in people's hearts. White people's attitudes toward blacks have changed very little since the days of lynchings. Without that change, laws are relatively impotent. In many towns, there is a black world and a white world. I told my friends that I did not escape from the bondage of apartheid to end up segregated in America. […]
What was really shocking was discovering that the black world in America resembled the world I had left, the townships of South Africa – the poor buildings, the bad roads, the hopelessness, the rage, the frustration on the faces of the black boys and girls I met. These were the same emotions I felt when I was fighting for my life under apartheid. Everyone in this country is an accomplice to what is happening in the black ghettos of America."

A very nice, compassionate physician who seems to care about his patients.
first time with Dr Maguen as my doctor retired. He was great and so was my technician The front staff remains the worst experience. They are slow, rude, and just not pleasant or nice or welcoming
I can only imagine what people with lifelong poor vision have to experience if this is standard experience with the eye doctor. When you combine the rude staff, the haphazard way everything gets processed (if at all), it is amazing anyone would feel satisfied after their experience here. I have (luckily) since learned that seeing the eye doctor does not need to be so long and painful, and that is a relief. I do not recommend this doctor.
Dr Maguen is a complete hack. He is riding on the coattails of his fathers name and has no business prescribing an antacid, let alone something as important and sensitive as eyes . He got my prescription wrong multiple times and was completely unapologetic along the way. Save yourself the stress and hassle and go elsewhere!
Stay far, far away. Inaccurate diagnosis and prescription, not one time, not 2 times,but 4 times!!! Rude/ unprofessional customer service to boot. Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere.
Perfect visit in every way. Doctor was nice and knowledgable about my condition. I will be telling my friends and family about him!!
Dr. Maguen was polite and easy to speak to. He clearly explained the problem that others couldn't. I'm finally feeling much better!
very professional, welcoming, and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others. very happy patient
Dr. Maguen is a superb young doctor full of knowledge and has a very promising future ahead of him. My experience at his office (multiple visits) has been excellent. I recommend Dr. Maguen to anyone who has questions/problems regarding their eye(s).
Best doctor experience I have ever had!! Dr. Maguen was friendly and knowledgeable... he actually took the time to listen to what I had to say and took the time to explain my problem. I have sent my whole family to him and everyone loves him.
amazing doctor. highly recommended. professional and great bedside manner
professional and genuinely nice. highly recommended

With Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball airing Monday night on ABC, we will be offered a rare glimpse inside Oprah's Montecito home, where "25 legendary black women" (and 1 Mariah Carey) convened for a weekend of "You Go Girl"-themed mutual appreciation. USA Today notes that the Ball, along with that hour (minus commercial interruptions) of fury unleashed at disgraced book club exile James Frey, were milestones in a year that saw notable shift heavenward in Winfrey's public perception. Having graduated long ago from the lower ranks of mere talk show host to full-fledged life guru, Oprah—even her name sounds divine—is now America's spiritual shepherd:
With her television pulpit and the sheer power of her persona, she has encouraged and steered audiences (mostly women) in all matters, from genocide in Rwanda to suburban spouse swapping to finding the absolute best T-shirt and oatmeal cookie.
"She's a really hip and materialistic Mother Teresa," says Kathryn Lofton, a professor at Reed College in Portland, Ore., who has written two papers analyzing the religious aspects of Winfrey.
While she may not be quite as "hip and materialistic" a Mother Theresa as Theresa biopic-starring hopeful Paris Hilton, we still agree that the analogy in Oprah's case is not entirely off-base. On the contrary, if you simply tweak a few biographical bullet points (i.e. replacing "lived in destitute poverty" with "makes billions and ain't afraid to spend it," and "cared for lepers," with "hugs celebrities") they become virtually the same woman.
