Hope of the Senju
Chapter One: Mistake.
This story was inspired by the story Senju Naruto by Baal of Yarns
Disclaimer: I do not and will not ever own Naruto!
It was late in the evening and the sun was setting in the west, two figures could be seen traveling along the road that leads from the border of Kawa no Kuni (River Country) to Tanzaku Gai; a small but lively town that was a fair distance from Konoha.
One of the figures was a tall male standing about six foot four. He seemed to be in his early forties or so, although he carried himself as someone half that age. He had extremely long, spiky white hair tied into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs that framed both sides of his face, red lines that ran down from his eyes, and a unique head protector with the kanji of 'oil' printed across the metallic object upon his forehead.
This man was Jiraiya the famed Toad Sage of the Densetsu no Sannin (Legendary Three Ninja), a former student of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage (Third Hokage), Shinobi no Kami (God of Ninja) and the Professor. Jiraiya is also the author of the popular adult fiction book series called Icha Icha and is a self-proclaimed super-pervert.
The man walking next to him was roughly five foot eleven and looked to be in his early to mid-twenties. He wore a standard Konoha ninja uniform, a flak jacket, with a short-sleeve long white coat with red flame adorning the edges. He had bright blue eyes and spiky blond hair that reached down to chin-length strands that framed both sides of his face. He was considered quite handsome by the fact that many women were often infatuated by his looks alone.
This man was Namikaze Minato, the famed Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō (Konoha's Yellow Flash), Yondaime Hokage (Fourth Hokage), and former student of Jiraiya.
The two men were on their way back to Konoha after successfully negotiating and signing an alliance with Sunagakure no Sato (Village Hidden in the Sand) and its leader the Yondaime Kazekage (Fourth Kazekage).
The reason as to why it's just the two of them since in most cases whenever a Kage leaves his or her village, he or she would have a couple squads of ANBU or Jōnin level shinobi to act as their guard detail. However since it was Jiraiya the Toad Sage who is traveling with the Hokage, it was decided that a Jōnin or ANBU guard detail would be unneeded; since only a fool would even think to attack two Kage level shinobi when they are together. Especially since these two shinobi are the Yondaime Hokage, the era's strongest shinobi currently in existence and Jiraiya the Toad Sage who is said to be the strongest member of the Densetsu no Sannin.
"Well Minato, we at least made it to Tanzaku Gai, guess we won't have to sleep out in the forest on the ground tonight." Jiraiya spoke jokingly.
"Right you are Sensei, of course we could've gotten back with my Hirashin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) but, I'd rather take my time and not go back to that paperwork while I can. Once we get into town we'll go book a room in a decent hotel, then we can go down to a local bar and celebrate to the new alliance," replied Minato.
"Now you're talking! Heck, we may even get you lucky tonight," Jiraiya replied as he smacked Minato on the back eager to have some sake.
Soon enough the two ninja found a decent hotel and booked a room, after which they went to the best bar near their hotel and unexpectedly met up with an familar face at the bar.
The person they found in the bar was a cream blond haired woman with hair tied into a long ponytail that reached down to her lower hip with chin-length strands framing both sides of her face, a diamond shaped mark on her forehead, and brown eyes. She's about five foot four and wore a green robe with a kanji for "Gamble" on it. Underneath her robe she wore a white sleeved shirt along with black short pants with a matching waist sash. But her most prominent features are her extremely large breasts (which were about one hundred six centimeters). She's what most individuals would call extremely beautiful.
"Hime! My it's been awhile! I didn't expect to see you here tonight." cried Jiraiya
The woman that Jiraiya called out to was none other than Senju Tsunade, The Slug Princess; the only female member of the Densetsu no Sannin; the last living member of the Senju Clan; granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, the Shodai Hokage (First Hokage); Grandniece of Senju Tobirama, the Nidaime Hokage (Second Hokage); former student of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage. She was also credited as being the most beautiful woman in the world. It was thanks to her efforts in healing and curing poisons that Konoha was even able to win the Second Great Shinobi World War, earning her the title of being the greatest Iryo-nin (Medical-nin) in the elemental nations.
When Tsunade turned to see who called at her, the woman expected to see a debt collector. However she was instead greeted to the sight of her old teammate Jiraiya and his former student, the current Hokage, Namikaze Minato .
"Jiraiya, Minato! What are you two doing here?" asked Tsunade as she set down her saucer of sake.
"Minato and I just arrived in town just a little while ago, after we finished today's trek through Kawa from Suna on negotiating an alliance between Suna and Konoha." replied Jiraiya.
"So I take it that the negotiations went well, since you must be down here to celebrate?" queried the Slug Princess.
"Yeah, they ended fine, although the negotiations were tough thanks to the Yondaime Kazekage. He kept on trying to make the alliance favor Suna more rather than making it equal to both villages. It also didn't help that he made several snide remarks about Konoha being too soft and weak," said Minato with a frown.
He didn't like the Yondaime Kazekage much, he often found him to be a rather cold and, uncaring individual. Especially with the way he ignored or passed off his pregnant wife, three year old daughter and, two year old son as if they were nothing to him.
It was at this point that Minato finally noticed the young teenage girl who was quietly sitting next to Tsunade. The girl in question looked to be about fifteen and was holding a small little piglet in her arms. She was named Shizune; Tsunade's apprentice and niece of Tsunade's late lover, Katō Dan a renowned Shinobi of Konoha.
When Minato saw her, he greeted the raven haired adolescent kindly which caused her to blush slightly, then she bowed and greeted him by referring to him as, "Hokage-sama," to which Minato just brushed her off and told her to call him Minato, not by his title since they weren't currently in Konoha. This of course caused Shizune to blush deeper at calling probably the strongest Shinobi alive in such a familiar way.
The two men sat down on the bar stools with Minato on Tsunade's right and Jiraiya sitting next to Minato, this prompted Tsunade to continue the conversation.
"So, who's looking after the village while you're away? Surely you didn't leave the village in the care of those old fossils Koharu, Homura, Danzō, or anyone else on the council?" asked Tsunade since she never did like those three power hungry fossils. This was because most of the time they acted like they knew better than everyone else and would often try to usurp other people's authority, especially the Hokage's if they didn't agree with his decision. While they couldn't officially do anything, they could definitely bring on the guilt and play on people's emotion to get the rest of the council to change their minds. Danzō was exceptional at doing so.
"Nah, we left sensei in charge until we get back." said Jiraiya to which Tsunade just nodded.
"So, Minato how is life being Hokage?" she asked while taking a sip of her sake.
"Hard! Especially with all the paperwork I have to do and all the meetings I have to attend with the council. It doesn't leave me any time for a social life either." replied Minato as he took a sip of sake.
"What about that cute little red head ANBU girl from Uzushiogakure (Hidden by Whirling Tides) you were seeing? Kushina, wasn't that her name?" Jiraiya asked.
"It kind of didn't work out, I wanted to start a family with her but two years ago she told me that she wanted to focus more on her career rather than having a relationship with me." Minato answered with a heavy sigh.
"Sorry to hear that, brat." he said regretfully at the failed relationship between the Uzumaki girl and his student.
Minato just brushed Jiraiya off saying that it was ok and that he was over her anyway.
"So…"drawled a slightly drunk Tsunade, "I guess that means that you're back on the bachelor market for all those eligible ladies out there who want to be the next Mrs. Namikaze." she finished with a smirk.
"I guess you could say that, and would you be among those ladies Tsunade-hime?" asked Minato with a slight smirk as he took another sip of sake.
"Hah! You wish, brat." laughed Tsunade as she took another large sip of sake from her saucer before refilling it.
Over the next four hours the three talked about different things and people in and out of Konoha. Shizune had left two and a half hours ago to go to sleep, meanwhile Jiraiya had passed out drunk on the bar stand with drool leaking from his month. Tsunade and Minato continued to talk with one another, ignoring the snoring and drooling Jiraiya. As they talked they continued to drink more sake, becoming so intoxicated that the two Kage level Shinobi began to flirt with one another.
"You know Tsunade, I had the…biggest crush on you when…I was a Genin." slurred Minato.
"Hiccup! Well I'm honored Minato-kun." Tsunade slurred her reply.
The two continued to flirt back and forth like this until Tsunade suddenly spoke. "Maybe we can have our own little party… back at my room…to celebrate Konoha's new alliance with Suna." giggled a fully inebriated Tsunade like a little school girl.
"Lead the way, hime." said the equally intoxicated Hokage.
Soon enough the two drunken shinobi staggered away from the bar, leaving the passed out Jiraiya on the bar stand. He would be promptly thrown out on the street soon after they left when the barman decided to close up. The two soon reached Tsunade's room at the same hotel and entered the room where upon they quickly and drunkenly began removing each other clothing and proceeded to "examine" one another in heated passion.
For most of the night moans, grunts, and giggling could be heard coming from Tsunade's room and did not stop until very late in the night.
-Next morning in Tsunade's room-
Late the next morning, Tsunade slowly woke up with a groan due to the massive hangover that she was currently feeling and the light blaring from the sun in her eyes so she turned over facing away from the window.
"Ooooohhhh! My head…that's the last time I am going to celebrate with Jiraiya and Minato like that," thought Tsunade.
It was as she was at this moment that she noticed that she was stark naked after her realization slowly hit her, she then heard another groan coming from next to her.
When she opened again her eyes she was greeted with the sight of a nude male back facing her with bright blond spiky hair.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Screamed Tsunade as she jumped out of the bed and pulled the bed covers with her to cover her modesty. As soon as she pulled the bed cover, the man next to her jerked over the side an fell off the bed and onto the floor causing him to groan again but this time in even more pain.
After a minute or so the mystery man slowly got up from the other side of the bed, holding his head from the painful hangover that he had from drinking so much the previous night, and from the large bump that was forming on his head after hitting the floor.
It was as the man stood up that Tsunade realized who the man was.
"MINATO?" Shouted Tsunade loudly.
Minato cringed at Tsunade's loud voice, due to a throbbing pain in his head. It was when he gained his bearings and looked at Tsunade that a confused look swept across his face.
"Tsunade, what are you doing here in my room?" asked the confused Hokage.
"Your room? This is my room you baka! I should be the one asking that not you! Not to mention why are you in 'MY' bed naked!" said Tsunade and she pointed at him angrily.
"Huh?" said Minato as he looked down at himself and saw that he was indeed naked as a jaybird. Upon seeing this, the young man turned bright red and quickly grabbed a nearby pillow to cover "Little Minato".
"What happened last night? The last thing I can remember, the two of us were drinking and talking while sensei was passed out drunk." groaned out Minato as he held his head due to the hangover.
"The last thing I remember was…" said Tsunade as she tried to remember what had happen last night, when suddenly hit her when their activities came back in a series of fast flashbacks. After which the female Sannin suddenly turned bright red in embarrassment as she continued to recall the previous night's activities.
Ironically enough, as Minato watched Tsunade's face turning various shades of red, he too began to remember what they did last night; causing him to also blush bright red from embarrassment.
Quickly enough an angry Tsunade looked back up at Minato and pointed accusingly at him.
"You damn bastard! You took advantage of me when I was too drunk to think straight!"
"Me! I wasn't the one who was flirting like a hormonal fan girl at the bar! You were the one who started it all!" Minato defended.
"Don't you dare try and blame me! You admitted it yourself that you had a thing for me since your Genin days last night! That's when you decided to take advantage of me when I was drunk!"
"Hey now, I wasn't the one who invited me into your room. It was all your idea to come to your room. So if there was anyone who was taken advantage of, it was me as you had your way with me playing doctor an patient in the bed sheets!" said Minato who was pointing accusingly at her.
For the next ten minutes the two continued to try and place the blame of the events from last night on one another, but eventually they settled on an agreement that it was both their faults. They then hurriedly got dressed and decided that they would keep what happened last night a secret between the two of them. Especially from a certain super pervert they both knew, knowing that if he ever found out, he would never let either of them live it down and they would most likely end up in his next book.
After a few minutes, Minato quickly left Tsunade's room and decided to head back to his room, hoping that Jiraiya had not gotten up yet.
Just as he was about to open the door a voice cried out to him.
"Hey Minato!"
When Minato turned around he saw Jiraiya coming towards him from the stairs leading to the ground floor of the hotel.
"Hey Minato! Glad to see that you're up; I figured you'd still be sleeping like a stone from all the drinking last night. You were about to come look for me weren't you?" spoke Jiraiya as he came up to his former student.
"Uh…yeah, that's right sensei." Minato said slightly nervously and secretly glad that his sensei was not in their shared room to find that he wasn't there at all last night.
"It seems that I was left passed out in the bar by myself, I was thrown out on the street where I just woke up a little while ago," continued Jiraiya, at which he began to narrow his eyes at the young Hokage.
"So why didn't you bring me back to our room last night?"
"Well…uh…you see…the thing was…uh." stuttered out a nervous Minato while trying to come up with a good excuse, and failing quite miserably in the process.
It was at that time when Minato was trying to think up of an excuse that Jiraiya detected a certain scent coming from the young man's person.
"Minato, what is that smell coming from you?" asked Jiraiya as he came uncomfortably close and began to sniff Minato clothes.
"Is that perfume I smell?"
Minato began to get even more nervous as he silently cursed himself for not showering, realizing that he must have gotten some of Tsunade's perfume on his clothing when he was with the her. He knew that if his sensei recognized the smell he would quickly realize what happened last night, in which case Minato his world would offical end
To affirm Minato's fears, a knowing perverted smirk appeared on the Toad Sage's face.
"Listen sensei, I can explain..." began Minato as he tried to come up with a believable excuse as to why he had Tsunade's perfume on his clothes on the spot.
"What's there to explain? You got lucky in bed with some hot young lady from the bar last night, didn't you brat?" asked Jiraiya with a perverted grin forming on his face.
"Huh?" was Minato's intelligent response as he had clearly expected his former teacher to say something entirely different.
"Come on Minato, I can smell the perfume coming off your clothes. You got lucky with some hot young girl from here. If you had just told me that from the start, I would have understood. So who is she? Was it that smoking hot young bar maid that winked at you last night when she served us sake or was it one of those sexy young ladies at the nearby table who were eyeing you? Come on you can tell me," asked the grinning Jiraiya as he nugged his elbow into Minato's side, wanting to hear all the details for his next book.
"Uh yeah, you're right sensei. I guess I can't hide anything from you." said Minato as he let out a silent sigh of relief. Jiraiya had not recognized the perfume even though he still came very close to the truth.
"So are you going to tell me how it was or who you were with last night?" asked Jiraiya as he gently elbowed Minato in the side again, all the while grinning like the super pervert he was.
Deciding to change the subject quickly, Minato acted fast. "Maybe later sensei, but how about we get going? If we leave now, we can reach Konoha before nightfall." The two began walking.
As Minato walked down the stairs Jiraiya in super pervert mode, followed closely behind him trying to get the juicy details of what happened last night from his former disciple.
"Come on, brat! At least tell me who she was. Is she a blond, a brunette, or a red head? Is she a moaner or a screamer? At least tell me if I know her. Come on, brat, tell me that at least." pleaded Jiraiya.
Minato just ignored his sensei's pleas, all the while thinking. "If only you knew sensei. If only you knew."
-Two months later-
Currently Tsunade was lying down on a bed in a hotel that she and Shizune stayed at for a while, Shizune was using medical jutsu to run a medical scan on Tsunade, where her hand was resting above Tsunade's navel, sending sends small pulses of chakra to examine any irregularities. She was doing this because she was the only one that Tsunade trusted without question.
After Shizune had finished her scan on Tsunade, she confirmed what Tsunade believed when she realized that she missed her period…she was pregnant.
Tsunade bolted up and quickly put on her clothes back on.
"When I find that bastard, I'm going to kill him, revive him, then kill him again!" thought an angry Tsunade.
"Shizune, get ready to leave. We're heading for Konoha" Tsunade ordered angrily.
This of course shocked her apprentice, not because her master had spoken angrily at her, but because she had said that they were going to Konoha, the very place Tsunade swore she would never step foot in again.
"B-B-B-B-But w-w-w-why sensei?" stammered a shocked Shizune.
"Because I'm going to kill the father of my child for knocking me up" Tsunade replied angrily as she stormed out of the room for her homecoming.

Futures tumbled Thursday after jobless claims jumped to a 16-year high. This followed Wednesday's crushing selloff that saw the Dow close below 8,000 for the first time in more than five years.
Chrysler hopes to restart merger talks with General Motors if the government comes up with a bailout package for automakers, the Financial Times reported Thursday.
Stung by outsize investment losses, some of the nation's biggest companies are pushing Congress to roll back rules requiring them to put more money into their pension funds, just two years after President Bush signed a law meant to strengthen the pension system.
You could hear the screams on Wall Street (and perhaps a few sighs of relief that the bloodletting was over -- for today at least) when the Dow closed down 427 points -- to a level BELOW 8,000 for the first time in over five years. The market's in "critical condition," says Cramer, and likens it to a "hospital emergency room."
There is no joy on Wall Street, and frankly, the mood is getting worse. On Wednesday, stocks hit a 5-1/2 year low on waves of selling stemming from a meltdown in financials. The group was down nearly 12%, with some big names like Citigroup at shocking lows.
Senate negotiators sought to craft a compromise plan to bail out US auto makers, though prospects for a deal before Congress adjourns for the year still appeared remote.
The Dow tumbled on Wednesday closing below the psychologically important 8,000 level for the first time since March 2003.
Stocks plunged to a more than five-year low amid worries about the fate of the auto industry — and the economy — as a bailout for the sector grows increasingly unlikely.
If Congress turns its back on the Big Three auto makers—as many expect—investors probably won't drive the stock market off a cliff.
When it comes to the auto industry, there are more than just millions of auto-related jobs on the line. Billions of dollars in advertising—arguably the cornerstone of the industry—is at stake.
The flight into Treasuries, as well as the fact that credit default swap spreads are widening, is causing broad weakness in the stock market. .
Stocks declined Tuesday amid worries about the fate of the auto industry as a bailout grows increasingly unlikely.
An appeal for money from the Big Three is certainly generating a lot of interest among Fast Money's audience. What do you have to say?
Luxury automaker Lexus will be moving ahead as planned with its USGA and USTA sponsorships for 2009. Lexus spokeswoman Nancy Hubbell tells me the company is committed to its golf and tennis promotional activities for next year.
Stocks opened mixed Tuesday as a pop in commodities and sharp drop in consumer prices briefly offset worries that Congress won't bail out auto makers.
What happens if the auto industry doesn't get a government bailout?
To say law makers are skeptical about whether it makes sense to help out Detroit would be an understatement. The Big 3 and the UAW have failed to sell Congress on why they should help the auto industry.
The bet is that some small amount of money will be given to the auto makers now, enough to serve as some type of bridge loan into early 2009. At that point the Democrats will have the political leverage to develop a broader rescue package in the first weeks of February.
The Consumer Price Index had its biggest one month drop ever. Here is a breakdown of the inflation benchmark to show you where costs are falling most.
There are 'stock' people and there are 'bond' people. I am a stock person and have been all my life. It suits my personality because stock people are optimists. We see the glass as half full.

A uniform thin rod, 7.0 cm long with a mass of 40.0 g, lies ona frictionless horizontal table. It is struck with a horizontalimpulse, at right angles to its length, at a point 2 cm from oneend. If the impulse is 8.5 mN*s, describe the resultingmotion of the stick.
I am having difficulty understanding the solution tothis problem. The first part of the solution obtainedfrom cramster calculates the linear velocity of the center ofmass.
, which gives
This would indicate that it does not matter where the stick isstruck, the resulting linear velocity will be the same. Thisis not obvious to me. My first thought is that the stick willgo faster linearly if struck closer to the CM. If struck atthe CM, it will not rotate and all of the impulse will go intotranslational motion. My intuition says that there has to bea trade of between angular and linear velocity, but I could becompletly wrong. Thanks for the help!

How Much Value Has The Japanese Electronics Industry Destroyed? 0 commentsJun 11, 2012 2:36 AM
If small is beautiful, then is big ugly? Big conservative Japanese companies in fast-changing competitive industries are pig-ugly.
Many people think of Japanese stocks and they think of Sony, which has been a consistent value-destroyer for some time now.
But how much value has the Japanese electronics destroyed as a whole?
Net income: $40 B in the hole
Net assets: -8% per year
Interestingly, removing Hitachi (slightly more diversified model) from the list makes the net asset growth rate -14% per year. To be fair, they are all restructuring now, but that is an impressive rate of loss for so many massive companies.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.Back To Smartjapanesestocks' Instablog HomePage »

Bush continues Clinton agenda
Posted: June 22, 2002 1:00 a.m. Eastern
© 2002 WorldNetDaily.com
Referring to President G. W. Bush's new Department of Homeland Security, former President Bill Clinton told a gathering of Council on Foreign Relations members last week, "We have been building this for a long time." For once, Clinton told the truth.
What he began constructing following the Oklahoma City bombing, Bush has succeeded in bringing to fruition. America is about to have its very own Gestapo.
If Al Gore were president today, Republicans in Congress would no doubt rise in righteous indignation to quickly kill such a plan. However, with a fellow Republican in the White House, all such opposition has vanished. The bottom line is Bush is pursuing Clinton's agenda and getting a free pass.
Consider this: Bush has already issued 57 executive orders and has already created 47 new federal agencies. His Justice Department has declared that U.S. citizens, whom it declares to be "Enemy Combatants," have no constitutional rights none. Such people do not even have the fundamental right of legal representation.
Georgetown University law professor David Cole rightly said, "This is really an astounding assertion of authority. It's not just that you have no right to a lawyer, it's that you have no right to even have a hearing. If this is true, then there is really no limit to the president's power to label U.S. citizens as bad people and then have them held in military custody indefinitely."
Furthermore, Bush now says he has the right to initiate first-strike attacks on any nation or people at (his) will. Imagine how future history will record America launching its own versions of Pearl Harbor.
Bill Clinton received more good news from the Bush White House.
Just this week, he learned that Attorney General John Ashcroft is ready to permanently close the government's investigations into Clinton's criminal activities. In other words, President Bush has declared that Bill and Hillary Clinton are above the law.
Beyond that, Bush's support for liberal policies on things such as the federalization of airport security, proposed amnesty for illegal aliens, a boost in funding for Clinton's AmeriCorps program, a worst-ever education bill and a constitutionally-challenged campaign-finance reform bill simply reveal Bush's perpetual propensity to continue Clinton-style government.
In spite of Bush's dismal record, he continues to receive the support and approbation of conservatives, pastors and Republicans throughout the country.
If Clinton would have known that a Bush administration would be this successful in promoting his policies and programs, he would have supported Bush and not Gore in the 2000 election. Maybe he did.
What is key here, notice how Mr. Baldwin mentions the CFR. Watch out because the CFR is not a good thing.
I find all of this so very disturbing. I do not have a good intuitive feeling about this idea of a Homeland Defense Department.
What the heck is going on and what the heck is the true agenda?
Very simply ----POWER.
We american Christians have only ourselves to blame for the growing tyranny that comes from a culture that is in deteriorating into. We have compomised and supported the goverment as it walks away from liberty and Godly goverment.
Ashcroft is a good example of the compromise. He said agreed to enforce unGodly immoral law in exchange for power. After all would it not be a good thing to have "one of us" on the inside!!
We are called by God to be obedient and leave the results up to him.
He wanted to,but it clashed with his respect for his job and position.
Why do you think I call his crowning acheivement "The Office of Reich Security"?
They will when it's too late. When it becomes Personal to them. When someone they know is directly affected.
"Til then, it'll be Clinton Did It! 800 FBI Files (they're not even accurate on that, it was well over 1000) that CLINTON'S FBI turned over without a peep. No consideration or even a passing thought that if there's Blackmail material in them on ANY Congressperson, they DESERVE to be outed. After all, they're only our Leaders!
hear that bushy koolaiders?
World Empire. But they're going about it the wrong way.
What puzzles me most about this is the timing. This concept of "enemy combatant" for a U.S. citizen wasn't formulated until Jose Padilla, the "dirty bomber" was arrested and promptly hidden away in a brig.
Meanwhile, Johnny Walker Jihad, a true enemy combatant, and a U.S. citizen, has an attorney and is getting a trial, as are two non-citizens, Moussaoui and Reid. All three of these have proven themselves dangerous creatures by acts, not intent. And yet Padilla is treated as a far worse villain.
I can't help but wonder what there is about Padilla that makes it mandatory that he be kept incommunicado forever. Could it be that he really is linked to the Oklahoma City bombing? The government's treatment of him defies logic in comparison to the other three, and opens the Justice Department to ridicule even by those who have no concerns about the Constitution.
I've been thinking that for a while now. What better way to destroy a movement than from the inside?
Ping to you gentlemen.
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Tariffs, CFR, caving in on every possible conservative view, oh yeah but I forgot 'conservatives' are in power and he's 'building a coalition'. The same tripe I'm told when I speak out against the coronation of Giddy here in NC. If this is conservative, let me off the merry-go-round now. Bush is, has been, and will be for the rest of his one term presidency (we can only hope, 4 more years of this and we'll all be living in boxes because it's 'safer' for us) a sell out. He has left the Conservative Right in his tracks. Used them for what he needed and moved on. He is a centrist at best, and I don't care if the entire Senate turned Republican tomorrow, it wouldn't help a single thing. The type judges he would elect if the Republican party wins the Senate will be only a shade of what conservatives stand for. Both parties have thrown away the Constitution and are just winging it to stay in power
"Rewards are necessary in order to make the soldiers see the advantage of beating the enemy; thus, when you capture spoils from the enemy, they must be used as rewards, so that all your men may have a keen desire to fight, each on his own account."

Oh BTW, Chucky Baldwin is the epitomie of the definiton of "malcontent", meaning he just complains about everything..
Yup the mess Rush made, by bashing Bush using the NYT as his primary source. He has been off the air for a week probably licking his own self induced wounds.
Then I realize that chances are, they vote in the meat world. Thats not funny.
It's just more blantant since the CFR's members created the UN to aid their agenda.
They openly praise their god with pagan agendas.
On February 1, 1992 president george herbert walker bush stated:
"My vision of a New World Order forsees the UN with a revitalized peacekeeping function. It is the sacred principles enshrined in the UN charter to which we henceforth pledge our allegiance."
You know the UN charter that Alger Hiss (known Russian spy and CFR member) wrote.
Stalin said America would be taken down with a war of concessions, and that's what's happening. We are excusing ourselves right out of our country and dooming our children to a future of slavery.
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But under the name of 'Liberalism', they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."
Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party Presidential candidate.
Well "We" do know how it's happening and who's doing it, but we are afraid to confront them.
I relate this to breeding. Like the serfs centuries ago, we choose to remain silent hoping we won't be touched. That somehow we will sneak by.
Well, they are going for the whole enchalada this time and everyone will be touched.
Hey, isn't there a ballgame on, we can deal with this later.
Someone will have to deal with it, are we going to leave it up to our children to fight our battles? Have we become that yellow?
James Paul Warburg (son of Paul Moritz Warburg, chief architect of the Federal Reserve Act), boasted confidently on February 17, 1950 before the U.S. Senate:
"We shall have World government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World government will be achieved by conquest or consent."
It looks to me like the American people have decided to consent to the overthrow of America.
Most animals will fight to protect their young, that's admirable. What we as American's are allowing to happen to our children is pathetic.
How can they defend themselves, against what they won't be allowed to know?
Have you seen this? Frankly I am getting sick of this sort of crap. This administration has done little to help assure the safety of our homeland. Now they apparently want to make sure nobody snitches on them.

Security bill bars blowing whistle
By Audrey Hudson
A provision in the bill seeking to create a Homeland Security Department will exempt its employees from whistleblower protection, the very law that helped expose intelligence-gathering missteps before September 11.
The legislation now before Congress contains a provision allowing the director of the proposed agency to waive all employee protections in Title V, including the Whistleblower Protection Act. The act protects government employees from retaliation or losing employment for speaking out on waste, fraud and abuse.
FBI Agent Coleen Rowley blew the whistle on her agency for mishandling a probe of terrorist suspect Zacarias Moussaoui, who has been indicted by a federal grand jury on six counts of conspiracy in the September 11 attacks. Mrs. Rowley testified before a Senate panel earlier this month that a "climate of fear" prevented an aggressive investigation of the man whom authorities believe was to be the 20th hijacker.
As the 21-year veteran testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, President Bush proposed the new Cabinet position in a prime-time televised address.
The protection exclusion has concerned members of Congress and civil-liberties activists. "I don't think we want to just let a provision like that sail through without taking a close look at it," says Rep. Bob Barr, Georgia Republican.
"If you look back at recent history, it has been a very, very important aspect of ferreting out the truth regarding government actions. Much of what we know that went wrong in the White House in the '90s was initially highlighted by special agent Aldrich." The reference is to Gary Aldrich, who wrote "Unlimited Access: An FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House."
Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, sent a letter Wednesday to Tom Ridge, White House homeland security adviser, asking that the administration guarantee full application of the act to employees of the proposed department. "Whistleblowers are key to exposing a dysfunctional bureaucracy," Mr. Grassley says.
Since the September 11 terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, government agencies have placed a greater emphasis on secrecy and restricted information for security reasons, he says. "With these restrictions come a greater danger of stopping the legitimate disclosure of wrongdoing and mismanagement, especially about public safety and security. Bureaucracies have an instinct to cover up their misdeeds and mistakes, and that temptation is even greater when they can use a potential security issue as an excuse."
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service last month was required to pay back wages and cancel suspension and demotion orders for two Border Patrol agents who told a newspaper about security problems along the U.S.-Canadian border.
The agents, assigned to the INS field office in Detroit, were recommended for discipline after they told the Detroit Free Press that Michigan's border lacked the resources to adequately protect the country from terrorists. Agents Mark Hall and Robert Lindemann said the 804 miles of shoreline border were guarded by 28 field agents, one working boat, several damaged electronic sensors and one broken remote camera. They were cited for not following instructions not to talk to reporters and recommended for 90-day suspensions and one-year demotions.
The exclusion of the whistleblower law is also opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union, which says protections against retribution for those such as Mrs. Rowley would not exist in the new agency.
"It's very scary. The public needs to know what the government is doing," says Tim Edgar, legislative counsel for the ACLU. "Sometimes, it hurts Democrats; sometimes, it hurts Republicans, but it's always informative and even more necessary to protect whistleblowers in homeland security than any other government agency. It's not just tax dollars spent wisely, but doing what we need to do to keep people safe."
Other elements of the plan are long on secrecy and short on accountability, Mr. Edgar says.
The department would not be required to release information under the Freedom of Information Act. This would eliminate the agency's responsibility to answer questions from the public. Advisory committees that normally include public input would be immune, and the Cabinet secretary would have veto power over inspector general audits and investigations.
"We need to know real facts, and not just spin from the agency," he says. · Jerry Seper contributed to this report.
But I guess that makes us good whores, we'll swallow anything.
Personally, I spit, bite, swear, kick, whatever so that when I look in the mirror, I don't see a PUNK.....
It's amazing how we've seemingly become a nation of pansies. Shameful.
She won't survive.
Dims have cajones and a backbone. Theres nothing wrong with "R"'s, they need to stand their ground. They might enjoy winning for a change.
First, there is nothing new about Clinton's announcement; in my own column from LAST YEAR see here I talked about the plan that Bush was implementing. Was it drafted under Clinton's administration? Yes. But it was compiled from a number of different sources, tapping the brilliance of many people. This wasn't something The Impeached Rapist came up with on his own, so Chuck should settle down.
Lest Chuck forget, some of the most DAMNING information on TIR came from the General Accounting Office and the Congressional Research Service of the US. Not every person who worked in Washington during TIR's term was gulping down the Clinton Kool-Aid.
Gee, we did a nuclear asssessment report every year, too. Does that mean TIR invented nuclear warfare? Gimme a friggin' break, already.
News flash, ladies and gents, the President already has the authority to launch nukes WITHOUT a formal declaration of war or Congressional approval. He's had it since long before Bush came to office. In the event of an emminent nuclear attack, he's not going to wait for the bombs to hit before retaliating. In some cases, the decision may not even be in his hands see here. The butt-wipes in TIR's regime didn't even know about this!
Moreover, Bush has access to intelligence information Mr. Baldwin could only dream about. If he knows a foreign country is preparing to launch nukes against US, what should he do? Sit back and wait for 20 million people to die first? Then Mr. Baldwin would be BITCHING that we didn't do anything about it, wouldn't he?
Finally, Mr. Baldwin needs to spend more time with the folks at the FBI ITT; foreign operatives ARE HERE; they have been here for years! They are latching onto pissed-off "pity me, I hate America" types and USING THEM AGAINST US.
Chuck is SPOT-ON about amensty, CFF, and other issues, but from what I can see, he's grossly uninformed about the rest.
"My vision of a New World Order forsees the UN with a revitalized peacekeeping function. It is the sacred principles enshrined in the UN charter to which we henceforth pledge our allegiance."
Daddy Bush did two things in that statement that I consider 1.) Blasphemous and 2.) Treasonous
BLASPHEMOUS = "sacred principles enshrined" ----- there is nothing "Sacred" in ANYTHING the U.N. Writes.
TREASONOUS = "pledge our allegiance" ------ Has he EVER believed in pledging allegiance to our Nation? That's where our "allegiance" is correctly directed. With our TRUST in God. That's what Made our Nation Great, not a bunch of satanic Globalists.

paula_cair the family running the apartments were extremely accomodating and couldnt do enough for you. the apartment is in the middle of a steep hill and u have to climb up to the shop and down to the beach/town. The room was quite basic though but suited us. The pool was very clean and rarely used by anyone apart from us so this was great.

I bought a box of cheap tea bags and they taste awful. Can I use them in the garden other than adding them to the compost heap?
Brilliant Sue thank you I've registered with them now.
Brilliant info thank you.
I bought a bag of bulbs from a cheap shop and I'm delighted they all came up. The label said 'Fringed mixed' and they are very pretty, though mostly red, but one bloom has dozens of petals and looks almost like a rose. Can anyone tell me what type this is as I'd love to order some for next year. Hope you can see the photos to help identify it. Fingers crossed someone knows.
I'm growing them in sacks for the first time this year and I noticed this morning that they are just showing tips of shoots. Tomorrow night we should have a frost so should I put compost or fleece on them?
Popped into Wyevale and headed to the reduced stand. Bought 3 x 1litre pots of flowers at bargain price £1 each instead of £3.99 each.
Bellis Habanera and Dark blue and Pink Forget-me-nots.
I'm ticked pink. (please excuse the pun).
I bought one from the reduced shelf last year, but I can't see it anywhere yet. Thought maybe I'd lost it. I'll have to look closer to see if there's a shoot or two.
It does drop the older leaves at this time of year, but usually has red new leaves showing by now.
I agree that we need a longer programme. I goes so quickly, and I look at the clock and think OH NO Not 9 o'clock already.!
I find Monty very relaxed and soothing as well. A breath of fresh air at the end of a busy week. Love it!
My salix tortosa drinks gallons of water a day. It's 40 years old now, but it would be impossible to get on my garden till about June if I didn't have it. It's pretty with it's curly leaves and twigs.

And instead of parents getting crazy on me it will be my gf....wait my day wont be anything like yours. While im at work im sending my girl to pick up my copy. When I clock out and get home the wii will already be on and a beer sitting by my wiimote. But I guess the end result being alot of people will be in ssb heaven that day. But back to the topic. I would hope that the graphics would be better. I didnt spend my money on a new system for a melee mirror with more chars.
I think that the nintendo Wii has always had Software problems when it comes to graphics.. But really i bought the Wii for gameplay and just having some good ol' SSBB fun, And really i basically bought my Wii for 70% of just wanting to be able to play SSBB, ANYWAY.. The Wii has had alot of PS2 imports so NOW.. I'd say about now is when the Wii is showing it's true graphical powers.. But yeah they are actually pretty nice, The only thing is, Is that the POLYGON count is the exact same as the GC, And ps2, But the PIXEL count has grown about Twice as much, But in the end the Wii will win,
:3 no matter it be good graphics or bad :3

Marcy Winograd for Congress 2011 Special Election
Marcy Winograd announced she is kicking off a campaign to fill Jane Harman's vacated 36th CD seat. The kick off starts Saturday, Feb. 26, 10 am in front of Fox Drug of Torrance (Old Town), 1327 El Prado, Torrance, 90501. Last June, Marcy Winograd, a teacher at Crenshaw High School, ran against the incumbent Jane Harman and received 41% of the vote.

Jim Dean Sorta Kinda Supports Marcy Winograd
David Swanson: Marcy Winograd is a stand-out. She's is campaigning against Congresswoman Jane Harman, a wealthy warmonger corporatist who has been caught conspiring against her nation with foreign agents, who suppressed the warranteless spying story until George W. Bush could get a second term in office, and who has referred to herself proudly as "the best Republican in the Democratic Party." Marcy Winograd, on the other hand, has been a leader of Progressive Democrats of America and has perhaps the smartest and most progressive platform in the country. She also garnered 38% last time, with no help.

archive: vignelli – Sharing Unpacked Artifacts from Massimo and Lella Vignelli's Papers
archive: vignelli features artifacts from the Massimo and Lella Vignelli papers as they are unpacked and processed at the Vignelli Center for Design Studies. We will share the experience of processing a collection and the excitement of discovering never before seen sketches, models, products and documents.
Our goal is to provide unique insights to the Vignellis' design process, philosophy and language. The Vignellis' work includes graphic design, branding, publication design, architectural graphics, exhibition, interior, furniture and consumer product design.
This new website from the Vignelli Center, the "archive:vignelli", looks like it could be really quite interesting, once it gets itself established. Only a handful of images right now so definitely one to bookmark, follow, check back on.
Want to know one thing I came away with?
One doesn't have to be a rockstar doodler to actually do doodles. It's quite a common thing for designers' to feel slightly embarrassed about sketching up ideas, thoughts, directions let alone showing them to the world, or a client.
I always refer to my mess of sketches as the result of doodling on a crumpled up napkin before I show a client. This, I find, helps lower any possible expectations they might have been harbouring on being shown a work of art.
The idea is the work of art, not the medium it is shown on.
It can be a struggle to not keep feeling so conscious about your sketches, but will likely be the perfectionist in you. Don't beat yourself up over this, because seriously, look at these sketches by Massimo, especially the egg holder one. The aim there was to show the concept, which is clear as day, not to get a gold-star for colouring within the lines.
