A goat accused of eating flowers in central Sydney has had his day in court and beaten the rap.
James Dezarnaulds, aka Jimbo Bazoobi, was issued with a $440 fine on August 22 after police caught his goat Gary chomping on flowers outside Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art.

Gary the goat cleared to eat grass
Sydney magistrate dismisses charges after police fined James Dezarnaulds $440 for letting his goat eat grass and flowers outside Museum of Contemporary Art.
But the case was dismissed in Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday.
Magistrate Carolyn Barkell said the accused goat had been eating the flowers when police arrived.
"I accept that he did eat garden plants," she said.
However, she said there was no evidence Mr Bazoobi brought Gary there with the intention of vandalising vegetation.
"He may have preferred to have an ice cream," she said.
Lawyer for the goat, Paul McGirr, told the court that police had issued the wrong infringement notice, because it related to a person and not a goat.
He also said it couldn't be proved that Mr Bazoobi put Gary up to the act.
"We can't guess what Gary might have been whispered in his goat ear," he said.
Mr Bazoobi, a comedian, tours Australia with Gary.
He told reporters he bought his sidekick for a case of beer last year in Gingin, WA.
The magistrate dismissed Mr Bazoobi's application for the crown to pay his legal costs but cancelled his fine.
The goat, who was met by a throng of reporters outside court, was not required to give evidence and made no comment on the verdict.

Posted on 07/27/2010 2:40:29 PM PDT by Erik Latranyi
The Massachusetts Legislature has approved a new law intended to bypass the Electoral College system and ensure that the winner of the presidential election is determined by the national popular vote.
"What we are submitting is the idea that the president should be selected by the majority of people in the United States of America," Senator James B. Eldridge, an Acton Democrat, said before the Senate voted to enact the bill.
Under the new bill, he said, "Every vote will be of the same weight across the country."
But Senate minority leader Richard Tisei said the state was meddling with a system that was "tried and true" since the founding of the country.
(Excerpt) Read more at boston.com ...
The smaller states should be screaming bloody murder and filing lawsuits.
The smaller states should be screaming bloody murder and filing lawsuits.
And they would be dismissed for lack of "standing".
There is never any campaigning in MA. It is assumed to be in the Dem column from the outset. That said, this is about the only way that the state could ever go Republican.
However, this is one of the reasons that I am usually ashamed of my state (at least politically. The Red Sox, Pats, Celtics, and Bruins are usually good for a laugh.)
I agree. I came to that conclusion during the Florida 2000 recount. These evil people would do **anything** to attain and keep power. They would kill us if they could. They just can't get away with it...(yet).
November 2000 was at the turning point when I realized that I could never again have a Democrat for a friend. They were either too stupid or too evil.
This WILL end up in Federal Court.
If you vote for A...and A wins the state...how can you possibly "receive equal protection under the law" if the state casts its votes for B?
This is the kind of thing that liberals do. They want tp do it, ergo it should be legal.
As long as other clauses of the Constitution are not violated in the process. Would this be an illegal dilution of the vote of a Mass. citizen (Equal Protection argument)? If there is a trigger clause as some states consider to say the law only goes into effect of a certain percentage of other states adopt similar laws is this a violation of the No Compact clause (Article I Section 10)?
LOL! Oh! (now crying)
That is just it, the electoral college was set up to give small states with low population more power per vote than those in larger population states.
I thought Obama's eligibility would be straight forward but no one has "standing". I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see our judicial system do its now well practiced tap dance to avoid a difficult issue.
You make that sound as if it's a bad thing.
Yes, and so would a state law decreeing that a states electors must be cast for the Democrat, or Republican, or Communist party, no matter what the results of the actual vote in that state are.
Save a lot of money on campaigning, and election day polling costs.
What the States dont have a right to do is "bypass" the electoral college, that is, if they want their states votes to be counted towards who gets to be POTUS.
The Massachusetts electors can go over to Barney Franks homosexual whore house and cast their votes there, but it wouldn't mean much.
A lot of green jobs to be had in building a gallows huge enough to hang all of these red SOB's.
|But what about states that are mainly republican? If those legislatures pass a similar bill...
In theory it should be impossible for even a Republican politician to be that stupid. Granted, we have seen such stupidity loose in the wild, but hopefully there won't be enough of it to swing entire legislatures in favor of this idea.
This idea is ultimately about giving large-city voters the ability to control presidential elections... something that the Electoral College currently prevents because the voting influence of a Chicago or a New York City stops at the state border. We'd like to think that Republican politicians could see this for what it is, and run — not walk — in the other direction.
1. the population of smaller states would
be completely disenfranchised by states with large
metropolis populations.
It is important politically, constitutionally and
electorally to balance the federal and national aspects of
the of the Federal Government.
As a federation, the U.S. system is a mixture of political
equals of the states. It is necessary that the smaller states are not
disenfranchised by the larger ones like New York and
2. Democrats control more populous states, which have tended historically to vote Democrat.
3. On all three occasions that the electoral vote winner and
popular vote winner has been different, the Republican
party won the election.
This is not because the Electoral College favors the Republican
party but the smaller states tend to vote more conservatively.
4. By abolishing the Electoral College the smaller states
would not only lose representation but would be taxed and controlled more heavily
and the benefits would be returned to the Larger populated ones to retain
their votes.
5. It's a Republic, If you can keep it.
By abolishing the Electoral College the Federal Government
would be further transformed from a Republic to a Democratic mob rule.
"The balance between small and large states, slavery, and
the perceived dangers of direct democracy."
Alexander Hamilton, argued that while it might not be
perfect, it was at least excellent.

Conformity of the Plan to Republican Principles
Independent Journal
Wednesday, January 16, 1788
James Madison
Can't we bypass Taxachusetts right out of the Union? Commie bastards.
The smaller states should be screaming bloody murder and filing lawsuits.
Unfortunately, this is constitutional [unwise, but constitional nonetheless] - and NOT what the Founders wanted. But, the Constitution leaves it up to the States as to how their electors are chosen.
I am also not a fan of the current [in most cases, except ME and NE] winner-take-all system. It causes candidates to focus on the most populous areas within a State.
For example, I live in MD. If a candidate wins Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Montgomery County, and Prince Georges County - they win the State. The rest of the counties be damned.
A fairer system is as follows:
1. The Constitution provides that "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled ..."
2. Therefore, two of the electors in each state represent its two Senators and the rest represent its Representatives.
3. So, it would be fairer for the voters in each of a State's districts to vote for one elector [representing their district]. Just like they vote for their district's Representative. The two remaining electors would be awarded to the winner of the State's popular vote [just like they vote for their Senators].
If this system had been in place in 2008, Obama would have one 7-3, instead of 10-0. This is more representative of the political view of the State.
"Wouldnt this be unconstitutional? Someone will bring it before the courts. The artical mentions that several other states have already passed such a law. Its interesting to note that these are all blue states (Democrat) and are mostly on the 2 left coasts. They dont want to live by the law because they see it as a stumbling block to getting their way."
Of course it's going to "go to the courts", and certainly all the way to The Supreme Court.
I predict that the Court will eventually rule "National Popular Vote" to be unconstitutional (based on the Constitution's prohibition of states making agreements amongst themselves that contravene the Constitution itself), and further, that NPV violates the Civil Rights Act by disenfranchising voters and tampering with their votes.
I believe the Court's opinion will decree that, yes, individual states DO have the right granted by the Constitution as to how they will select electors to represent their interests in The Electoral College.
HOWEVER — If any state chooses to hold a statewide election by which the state's voters choose the electors, that they must abide by the decision reached by the voters who actually cast the votes (within that state's borders).
In other words, a state cannot hold an election within its own borders for electors, and then reverse the results of that election for any reason, including the reason that the winner within the state did not also win "the national popular vote".
Of course, any state legislature could simply decide to abolish presidential elections (within that state), and have the _legislature_ choose electors based on who won the popular vote elsewhere. Now which state is going to become the first one to step up and do that?
States have a right to decide how to allocate their electoral votes, but they may not enter into compacts or agreements with other states. Here's the pertinent part of the Constitution:
Section 10 - Powers prohibited of States...
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
If passing a bill that will not go into effect until the same provision is passed by other states is not a compact or agreement with those other states, what is?
I believe that this is completely unconstitutional.
It certainly is an assault on lesser populated states. California here we come? Its influence in the outcome of the election will be huge with a popular vote system.
The change I would like to see is that the winner must get 50+ perecent of the vote or there is a run off between the top two vote getters. That is the reform that is needed.
To be brutally honest, the Founding Fathers did not give the American public of their day much credit for political awareness:
A popular election in this case is radically vicious. The ignorance of the people would put it in the power of some one set of men dispersed through the Union, and acting in concert, to delude them into any appointment." -- Delegate Gerry, July 25, 1787There is no doubt that things have not improved in any substantive sense; the most recent presidential election being an exquisite example. I talked to anybody who might listen about the enigma of Barak Obama and his radical associates.
The extent of the country renders it impossible, that the people can have the requisite capacity to judge of the respective pretensions of the candidates." -- Delegate Mason, July 17, 1787
The people are uninformed, and would be misled by a few designing men." -- Delegate Gerry, July 19, 1787.
But it was nothing more than water off of a ducks back; my words falling on deaf ears. Despite having cast a vote twice for Dr. Alan Keyes my admonishments proved nothing more than my racism; nothing more than a 'mouthpiece' for that "hate-mongering radical Republican web-site I'm always spouting off about". Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow have proven beyond any reasonable doubt the irrationality of me, my ilk and the likes of Bush, McCain and Sarah Palin (good for nothing but spreading her legs and making babies). Harumpf. "She can see Russia from her house - what a hoot!" Obama will make a great president. They all have hope for change and "Yes they can!". But I digress.
The perennial contemporary argument is that the Electoral College system flies in the face of democracy. America is, after all, a democracy. This argument having its origins in misty prehistoric times is predicated on proof by assertion which is typically employed as a rhetorical device. This argument is usually predicated on the fallacy of shifting the burdon of proof. That error, above nearly all others, is indicative of a woefull lack familiarity concerning the tenets of logic. Those who commit it require serious remedial learning.
Of the several recognized forms of democracy, two are germane to the issue at hand:
Under a system of a strictly popular vote, a candidate would only have to campaign and demagogue to heavily-populated areas such as southern California, Texas, New York, and Florida. Candidates would never need to campaign in states like Delaware, Wyoming, and South Dakota. Thus, in effect, the country would be run by mob rule, by the citizens of the few, densely-populated areas with similar demographics; it would likely be a system of minority rule despite the intents of those who favor this system. Almost as though they could see into the future, or perhaps the Founders sensing amongst themselves an innate human nature, considered it dangerous that like minded people tended to coalesce in associations and form "factions". Madison, in his opening to Federalist #10 argued that the Union would be a fundamental safeguard against domestic faction and insurrection. By "faction" he intimated "a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adversed to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community."
...The friend of popular governments never finds himself so much alarmed for their character and fate, as when he contemplates their propensity to this dangerous vice. He will not fail, therefore, to set a due value on any plan which, without violating the principles to which he is attached, provides a proper cure for it. The instability, injustice, and confusion introduced into the public councils, have, in truth, been the mortal diseases under which popular governments have everywhere perished; as they continue to be the favorite and fruitful topics from which the adversaries to liberty derive their most specious declamations...There were two notworthy factions of Founders themselves: one wanting direct elections of the president and another that desired the House of Representatives select him. The principle architects were the Federalists, lead by Alexander Hamilton, George Washington and John Adams who, as large landowners, bankers and businessmen, favored a strong central government. Nevertheless, both factions shared three main concerns for the Republic: tyranny, small states and geography.
...The latent causes of faction are thus sown in the nature of man; and we see them everywhere brought into different degrees of activity, according to the different circumstances of civil society. A zeal for different opinions concerning religion, concerning government, and many other points, as well of speculation as of practice; an attachment to different leaders ambitiously contending for pre-eminence and power; or to persons of other descriptions whose fortunes have been interesting to the human passions, have, in turn, divided mankind into parties, inflamed them with mutual animosity, and rendered them much more disposed to vex and oppress each other than to co-operate for their common good. So strong is this propensity of mankind to fall into mutual animosities, that where no substantial occasion presents itself, the most frivolous and fanciful distinctions have been sufficient to kindle their unfriendly passions and excite their most violent conflicts. But the most common and durable source of factions has been the various and unequal distribution of property. Those who hold and those who are without property have ever formed distinct interests in society. Those who are creditors, and those who are debtors, fall under a like discrimination. A landed interest, a manufacturing interest, a mercantile interest, a moneyed interest, with many lesser interests, grow up of necessity in civilized nations, and divide them into different classes, actuated by different sentiments and views. The regulation of these various and interfering interests forms the principal task of modern legislation, and involves the spirit of party and faction in the necessary and ordinary operations of the government... - Madison #10
It was equally desirable, that the immediate election should be made by men most capable of analyzing the qualities proper to govern their choice. - Hamiliton #68, 12 Mar 1788That the Founders were elitists is beyond reproach. Their society consisted of one where intelligence, wealth and status were closely associated. Of course, they knew they were superior to other individuals. They were unabashed elitists, and they weren't embarrassed about it; reported Alex Kingsbury of US News and World Report on 6/4/06. In his book Revolutionary Characters: What Made the Founders Different, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Gordon Wood says, This elite fraternity destroyed any chance of others duplicating their achievements.
The consensus arrived at by both factions was that despite all men, although created equal, must have respect for the natural aristae [aristocrats*;] as Jefferson said in his letters to Madison on Rights, March 15th 1789. Hamiltonians believed only natural aristocrats contained sufficient intelligence so as not to be persuaded by manipulation, coercion and favorite son status as stated in the Federalist Paper.
Talents for low intrigue may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole Union, or of so considerable a portion of it as would be necessary to make him a successful candidate for the distinguished office of President of the United States. -Jefferson said in his 1823 letter to George Hay; I have ever considered the constitutional mode of election [electoral college] the most dangerous blot in our Constitution and one which [will] give us a pope . That notwithstanding, 35 years ealier the Jeffersonians were suspicious of the power of larger states or centralized power.
...a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication and concert result from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions... - Hamilton #10Moreover, since the nation was spread over a large geographical area and national campaigning was impractical if not impossible during the times of the Founders, conventional wisdom embraced the notion that the office should seek the man; the man should not seek the office".
Ultimately, however distasteful, Jeffersons wing accepted the compromise primarly on the basis of the contemporary geographical difficulties. Furthermore, since the Electoral College would enfranchise smaller states with effectively more power, the Jeffersonians issue concerning a central government was circumvented; each state would have the same number of electoral votes as they have representative in Congress.
There are good, solid reasons why 700+ attempts to abolish or "modernize" the Electoral College over the years have all failed; that notwithstanding that over the entire period in which the Electoral College has operated, exactly twice a presidential candidate lost the nationwide popular vote, but was elected in the Electoral College:
Furthermore, 12 states control 53 percent of the votes in the Electoral College, that leaves only 38 states that might even consider ratification. And even more doubtfull would be those 'swing States' of the 38 relegating themselves to irrelevence.
Only twice in its history have the electors stumbled and been unable to choose a president, thus throwing the decision into the House of Representatives. Who did the House decide on in those two cases? Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams.
The zeal for attempts to amend, prior to the establishment of the Constitution, must abate in every man who is ready to accede to the truth of the following observations of a writer equally solid and ingenious: "To balance a large state or society Usays hee, whether monarchical or republican, on general laws, is a work of so great difficulty, that no human genius, however comprehensive, is able, by the mere dint of reason and reflection, to effect it. The judgments of many must unite in the work; experience must guide their labor; time must bring it to perfection, and the feeling of inconveniences must correct the mistakes which they INEVITABLY fall into in their first trials and experiments."*** These judicious reflections contain a lesson of moderation to all the sincere lovers of the Union, and ought to put them upon their guard against hazarding anarchy, civil war, a perpetual alienation of the States from each other, and perhaps the military despotism of a victorious demagogue, in the pursuit of what they are not likely to obtain, but from time and experience [emphasis mine]. - Hamilton #85Massachusetts state House Speaker Robert DeLeo issued a statement on the bill prior to its passage, The National Popular Vote measure will ensure that our presidential elections reflect the true will of the people. What would exquisite would be the schadenfreude for the citizens of Massachusetts, Colorado, Vermont, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and California - all considering NPV leislation - and Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, Washington, and Hawaii - already having passed NPV legislation - when their popular votes don't count for the candidate they voted for because their legislators disenfranchised them.
*** op. cit. Hume's "Essays," vol. i., page 128: The Rise of Arts and Sciences.
"then fine"
Not so fine when the state winner garners 65% of the state vote, yet the loser makes off with the electors.
Somehow it continues to amaze me that the Democrats still have nightmares about the 2000 election. They also don't seem to realize that the issue cuts both ways, and that in 2012 or 2016 the GOP candidate might gain office wherein he otherwise might have lost.
This has nothing to do with fairness and everything to do with electing Democrats. If this legislation ended up putting a Republican in the office, you can bet they would change the law immediately, before the electoral college convened if they could.
The notion of popular election of a President has long been a topic of discussion, since the founding of the nation. Today, popular election would not change the general problem that is cited; e.g., attention focuses only on battleground states. Popular election would mean that battleground states are merely the most populous; e.g., California, New York, Texas, and Florida. Smaller states would be virtually ignored.
Popular election would also worsen fraud. It's well known that in 2000 there were many black precincts in St Louis, Miami, Houston, Chicago where turnout was greater than 100% and 99& of the votes went for Gore; similar issues in 2004. With popular election, the Dems will steal every vote possible and stuff every ballot box because winning 61-39 in California instead of 58-42 will not just a bigger majority but will have a national impact.
Honestly, everything the Dems do looks like they are trying to turn the USA into a 3rd world nation like Brazil or, worse, Nigeria.
OMFG! Beck is right. These are just pieces of a framework being put in place to dominate our elections.
However, other parts of the Constitution are as clear in denigrating the type of collusion that is necessary for the anti-electoral college efforts to succeed.
There is hope that even if enough states sign-on that their efforts will be voided.
Maybe we should offer a $1,000,000 prize to anyone who can find one scintilla of difference between the CPUSA and the Democrats platform.
The "Congressional Progressive Caucus" must be targeted and destroyed as well their allies in the press and academia.
No holds barred, take no prisoners, name names and make these red bastards pay dearly for the consequences of nearly one hundred years of insidious and unrelenting attacks on capitalism and judeo-christian morality.
CPUSA And Obama Platforms Are Identical
Forget for the moment about Bill Ayers and Obamas other Communist friends and mentors of the distant past.
From the current Election 2008′ brochure from the Communist Party Of The United States (a pdf file):
A new day is dawning. Our country is at a turning point. This is a time of great possibility.
Issued as a public service by the Communist Party USA
The choice is clear. Stay with the Bush-McCain race to the bottom or raise up the whole country with a landslide defeat of the Republican ultra-right on November 4.
A new day is dawning. Our country is at a turning point. This is a time of great possibility. Across the land, people are coming together to reshape our nations priorities to make government of, by and for the people a reality.
From the Midwest to the South, from coast to coast, in big cities and rural communities voters have turned out in record numbers for change.
A landslide vote on November 4 can open the way to recovery from the very deep wounds of the Bush administration and decades of corporate right-wing control.
There is a crisis in every critical area of national life. Profits at the top are record high, but families cant make ends meet. Trillions are squandered in Iraq, but 45 million are without health care. Billions are spent on tax breaks to the super rich, but working families are losing their homes and young people cant afford higher education.
Working people want bold new policies to end war restore democratic traditions and create green living wage jobs, affordable housing, healthcare and quality education for everyone.
Republican John McCain, the candidate of the military industrial complex, will continue the Bush agenda. 100 years in Iraq, Social Security privatization, and tax cuts for the rich. His Republican partners in Congress have blocked, stalled or gutted every bill that benefits working people since they lost majority control in 2006.
Although the ultra-right is weakened and divided, they continue to push fear, division, racism and anti-immigrant bigotry in this years elections, aided and abetted by the corporate media. These multi-pronged poisonous tactics can only be overcome with unbreakable unity.
The choice is clear. Stay with the Bush-McCain race to the bottom or raise up the whole country with a landslide defeat of the Republican ultra-right on November 4.
Voters are demanding a new kind of politics to rebuild our country for the common good. A democratic spirit of unity and hope is inspiring millions to get involved.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, unemployed workers and their allies marched and organized until public works jobs, Social Security and New Deal programs were won. In the 1960s the great civil rights movement won the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
In 2008, union members, African Americans, Latinos, youth and women, seniors, environmental and peace voters are forging a powerful new all encompassing movement that makes great changes possible.
Help make history. Talk with co-workers, neighbors, friends and family. Volunteer to knock on doors, make calls, get online to turnout a landslide defeat of the Republican ultra-right on November 4, and keep the movement going.
We offer these proposals as a contribution toward the bold policy changes necessary to meet the immediate needs of working people, eliminate poverty and move our country forward with a new President and Congress. Funding to come from monies now being spent on the Iraq war, military budget and tax breaks to the super rich.
1. Immediate Relief
A moratorium on foreclosures and evictions. Reset mortgages so payments are affordable. No bail outs for banks.
Extend unemployment compensation, increase payments and eligibility. Increase food stamps, WIC, childrens health insurance, and low income energy assistance.
Assist deficit-ridden state and local governments so they can preserve services and jobs. Fund ready-to-go infrastructure projects.
2. A Peacetime, Green Jobs Economy for All
Enact massive public works job creation to make existing buildings energy efficient, construct new schools, hospitals, affordable housing, mass transit and bridges. Priority to areas hurt by loss of manufacturing, loss of family farms and highest unemployment areas including the Katrina-devastated Gulf Coast.

Enact HR 676 the US National Health Insurance Act to provide universal health insurance with single-payer financing. Fully fund public education from pre-school through higher education and technical training. No privatization of Social Security or Medicare. Expand and improve benefits.
3. Restore Civil Rights, the Bill of Rights and Separation of Powers

Pass immigration reform with legalization, a path to citizenship, due process, no militarization of the borders, and no exploitative guest worker programs. No human being is illegal.

Expand voting rights. Enact publicly financed elections, same day registration, voting rights for ex-felons, verifiable voting equipment, and instant runoff voting. Restore Fairness Doctrine in media.
4. Strength through Peace
Withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq with no bases or U.S. corporations left behind. Full care for returning veterans. No war on Iran or expansion of troops in Afghanistan. Assistance to Iraqi people to rebuild their country.
Adopt a new foreign policy of diplomacy and respect for all nations, instead of preemptive war for corporate interests. Renew commitment to UN peace role.
End trade policies that enrich corporations while destroying jobs. Ratify Kyoto Treaty and other climate change agreements.
Enforce nuclear non-proliferation, work to abolish nuclear weapons. Cut Pentagon spending in half, close down US bases around the world.
Vote November 4 as if your life, and your future, depend on it!
Defeating the right wing is the first step in the struggle to end exploitation, poverty, racism and war inherent in capitalism.

Political Affairs http://www.politicalaffairs.net
The Founders opinions concerning the matter are quite edifying to say the least.
That being said, there is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their States. Some States, however, require electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote. These pledges fall into two categorieselectors bound by State law and those bound by pledges to political parties.
Which States bind electors to popular vote results?
The Supreme Court has held that the Constitution does not require that electors be completely free to act as they choose and therefore, political parties may extract pledges from electors to vote for the parties' nominees. Some State laws provide that so-called "faithless electors" may be subject to fines or may be disqualified for casting an invalid vote and be replaced by a substitute elector. The Supreme Court has not specifically ruled on the question of whether pledges and penalties for failure to vote as pledged may be enforced under the Constitution. No elector has ever been prosecuted for failing to vote as pledged.
Today, it is rare for electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party's candidate. Electors generally hold a leadership position in their party or were chosen to recognize years of loyal service to the party. Throughout our history as a nation, more than 99 percent of electors have voted as pledged.
The question is: if an NPV state pledges its electors to the candidate with the majority of popular votes - despite the home popular vote being for the losing candidate - would Republican elector delegation have the stones to cast their votes for the home-State popular vote winning Democrat candidate? I'd bet everybody's life - and leverage their 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation decendents on margin - that 'Rat elector delegations would NOT cast their votes to reflect the home-State's popular Republican majority (not even if it wouldn't matter - principle only issue).
FWIW: the vote to declare war following the Day That Will Live in Infamy was NOT unanimous (there was one lone dissenting vote). When questioned why: "I believe that somewhere in the nation somebody would be against the war. While that person may not be one of my constituents my vote is reflective of my being a representative for The People and sombody somewhere most likely is against war." That Congressperson was a woman - Democrat - Repressentative from some district in California.
"Defeating the right wing is the first step in the struggle to end exploitation, poverty, racism and war inherent in capitalism."
So there is no racism in Communist countries?
Racism is a function of human nature and has nothing to
do with whether a society is free or comprised communist slaves.
Poverty? Show me a communist country where the citizens do not live
in poverty, squalor, misery, fear and distress.
North Korea, Cuba, China, Burma...Anyone???
War? Communists have killed 262 million of their own
without a war.
*Fact is in the last century the communists
have murdered 4 times as many of their citizens than
have died in all the foreign and domestic wars.
Add another BILLION on for abortion....
(Another Communist sacrament)
If there is one thing the Communist has mastered it is the LIE.
I'll take free markets any day over that carnage any day.
Who do they think they are kidding?
* Source: http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills
And if the popular vote doesn't go their way, then what???

Get Chad Pennington's arm in shape:
February shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff put Pennington on ice for over four months. He only started light tossing in June and will start training camp very slowly. It's likely the Jets will limit Pennington to just one practice a day at the start of camp and maybe throughout the entire camp, giving backup Jay Fiedler a lot more work with the first team.
Pennington, however, will need as much time as possible under center while the Jets learn a new offense under new coordinator Mike Heimerdinger. Despite his high intellect and feel for the game, Pennington can only learn so much with a playbook, he's going to need to be on the field.
Building strength in the shoulder is a priority and Pennington will need it as Heimerdinger's offense will call for downfield passing more often and plenty of deep throws, which could be an issue early in the season.
Pennington has proven to be a quick healer in the past, coming back early two years ago after breaking his left wrist in the preseason and missing just three games with the shoulder injury last season when most predicted he'd be out a month.
"Once the season starts up, when Chad gets back, I know he's the guy," said backup Jay Fiedler. "I'm going to help him out, push him as hard as I can, you know, try and make him the best quarterback he can be as well as doing, you know, what I can to make myself the best quarterback."
Figure out right tackle:
Kareem McKenzie held down the fort last year and was an excellent run-blocker. The Jets figured they would lose him to free agency - he signed with the Giants – and go into the situation with the same feeling they did when Ryan Young left a few years back.
Jones, in just his second year, has very little experience as a tackle and even less playing on the right side. The former tight end barely even practiced there last season. At 6-foot-4 and 297 pounds, Jones is also undersized for a right tackle.
The Jets are convinced Jones can make the same successful transition McKenzie made in 2002, when he was installed as the starter in just his second season and took to the job quickly.
The move is certainly risky, using such an untested player when the Jets will be relying on the running game even more early in the season as Pennington's shoulder becomes adjusted to playing conditions. The right side is where Curtis Martin gained many of his 1,697 yards last season and McKenzie's blocking was a major part of that.
Learn the new offense:
Mike Heimerdinger is brining in a wide-open offense that will utilize more players, a far cry from the conservative offense of Paul Hackett that virtually ignored certain players.
Rarely using the tight end last season - starter Anthony Becht had just 13 catches for 100 yards - Heimerdinger will have new starter Doug Jolley catching 40-50 balls this year.
Backup running back LaMont Jordan averaged just six carries a game but new backup Derrick Blaylock should expect twice that. The Jets will also get their third and fourth receivers involved more, particularly veteran Wayne Chrebet.
One player who remains unhappy about his contract and possible role with the team is Jerald Sowell, who held out of an offseason minicamp for a day. While Sowell has been an excellent option as a receiver out of the backfield and a key blocker in the Jets' successful running attack, his role will be reduced in the offense. Instead of utilizing the fullback, the Jets will throw more to the tight end and use more three and four-receiver sets.
Offense was clearly the Jets biggest problem the past few seasons but the unit has to step up and match the efforts of the defense, which carried the team at times. But learning a new offense takes time, and with Pennington coming off shoulder surgery, the process could take a bit longer.

China's coastal provinces outsource emissions to inland regions
China's wealthy coastal cities are outsourcing their carbon dioxide emissions to less developed inland regions, researchers say.
Rich countries often import products associated with high CO2 emissions from poor countries. The study authors wanted to find out of this trend applied to regions within a country as well. So they studied trade patterns for 57 types of products across 30 regions in China.
In the rich Beijing-Tianjin, Central Coast, and South Coast regions, about one-half to three-quarters of the CO2 emissions linked to products used by residents took place outside those areas. In other words, "higher levels of household consumption in more developed coastal regions are being supported by production and associated emissions occurring in less developed neighboring regions," the team writes in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The poorer regions tend to rely on old, inefficient technologies and are "heavily dependent on coal," the authors note. If these provinces don't improve their infrastructure, they could have trouble meeting their emissions reduction targets. — Roberta Kwok | 11 June 2013

Medical Applications
Kraton Performance Polymers develops and produces advanced, engineered synthetic elastomers designed to meet the specific requirements of medical product manufacturers. The polymers and polymer-modified systems perform like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) but are formulated without PVC, phthalates, plasticizers and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). As a result, the Kraton materials do not have the health concerns associated with plasticizers and are environmentally sound as well as recyclable.
Paving & Roofing
Since ancient times, bitumen has been used as a sealant and adhesive due to its remarkable waterproofing properties. In the modern world, it has long been used in many civil engineering applications, such as paving and roofing. While it has been added to asphalt mixes for decades, unmodified bitumen can become too brittle at low temperatures and too soft at higher temperatures. As cities throughout the world develop increasing dependency on reliable and age-resilient infrastructure, the limitations of unmodified bitumen create far too many challenges for contractors and civil engineers.
Specialty Gels
Kraton offers state-of-the-art polymer solutions for specialty oil gels. Our wide array of hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers (SBCs) allows for highly transparent, glossy and moisture resistant oil gel products – hallmarks of exceptional cosmetics. Our polymers are compatible with a vast range of oils and waxes, creating endless possibilities for new uses and formulations. They may be used as a gelling agent, a sole modifier, to complement other ingredients, to boost the viscosity of the oil phase and as a film former.

I'm not worried, but I weighed Abby yesterday and was surprised to see that she's only just over 25 lbs. I don't know how tall she is. But, she has been in 18 month size clothes since about 16 months. She was 19 lbs a year ago. Just seems like she hasn't done a lot of growing in the last year... People comment that she's little, but I don't think she looks skinny or underweight, so I guess thats why I'm not worried. Plus she eats pretty well (I think... don't have a lot to compare to).
How much are your kids weighing? How much have they gained in the last year?
You think 6 lbs is okay?

Really liked these! They were very tasty and easy to make after a long day at work. We topped ours just like the recipe says with mustard and dill pickle coins with an added cheese slice and ate them in the bun on a plate with a fork...sort of tough to pick up and eat...maybe better in a hot dog bun. Really yummy!
Great! My kids love it. We never make Sloppy Joes any more, we like Toms better!

Rogue Pirate (Windwalker Book)
Surrounded by cut-throats and enemies, Fel Tremayne risked his neck to attend the annual Grayhaven Fair for one reason only: revenge. Though many years had passed, Fel Tremayne had not forgotten or forgiven...Nor had Alna Savina, the Gultiness of Font. Fel Tremayne had conquered her island kingdom, ruled it for less than twenty-four hours, stolen a kiss - and her pride. She wanted to take away what he loved most, too...To that end, her Gultiness employed a sinister wizard, who guaranteed the pirate's death!

McDowell, who has been serving as battalion chief of administration in the Henrico Division of Fire, will succeed Edwin W. Smith, who retired in September after five years as fire chief.
As fire chief, McDowell will oversee a department with 539 employees, including more than 500 state-certified firefighters, and a budget of $49.6 million for fiscal 2012-13.
The Division of Fire provides fire protection and prevention services and is the primary provider of emergency medical services in Henrico. The department manages 20 fire stations and a training facility and covers an area encompassing 244 square miles. It also operates a regional hazardous materials team and provides technical rescue, ground search and water rescue. The Division of Fire responded to more than 39,000 calls in fiscal 2011-12.
McDowell joined the Division of Fire in 1997 as a firefighter. He later rose to fire lieutenant and fire captain before becoming battalion chief of administration in 2011. He holds a bachelor's degree in geography from Virginia Tech and a master's degree in public administration from the University of North Texas. He is a member of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, Virginia Fire Prevention Association, Virginia Chapter of the International Society of Fire Service Instructors and Central Virginia All Hazards Incident Management Team. He is certified as an executive fire officer by the U.S. Fire Administration and a chief fire officer by the International Association of Fire Chiefs.

Man head-butts officers breaking their noses
A 26-year-old Iowa man is facing several charges after injuring three Dubuque police officers who tried to arrest him.
KCRG-TV reports the officers were injured Saturday afternoon while they responded to a report of a domestic assault.
When officers Jake Sellers and Carin Tobin arrived at the home where the assault was reported, they confronted Ronald Gasaway Jr.
Police say Gasaway head-butted both officers and broke their noses before fleeing.
As Gasaway ran away, he ran into Lt. Steve Radloff and knocked him backward. Radloff suffered a concussion.
Then Gasaway was apprehended. He is being held in lieu of $20,000 bond. He is suspected of domestic abuse and assaulting three police officers.

Defining VPS And Its Difference From Other Hosting Types
Black Friday web hosting deal 2015, you can purchase 15% off hosting Virtual private server hosting offers every web site hosted through hardware which is more powerful compared to it. The actual physical device is literary divided into digital compartments and also the server software packages are separately setup to make each and every unit in a position to function on his own. It simply will mean that even though could possibly be other web-sites hosted to the system, your company allocated box only behaves your website and then the rest refuse to have every effects how your website functions. You enjoy the fundamental access similar to a dedicated storage space and formally you don't find yourself sharing MEMORY, bandwidth and also CPU. An individual literally have fun with dedicated storage space benefits together with VPS with a much cheaper selling price.
The Differences
Shared hosting – Inside shared hosting, it is difficult to control other folks from interfering with your website efficiency. You end up discussing resources with all the rest and also this means that while some other site is using a tad too much that directly or indirectly influences your performance. In this particular kind of internet hosting, all web sites are put on the same storage space and reveal RAM, PROCESSOR and even drive space. In the event one will get huge targeted traffic, the rest stay the chance to acquire affected so far as the efficiency is concerned.
Committed hosting : In this internet hosting type, you may have your storage space completely for your use. You do not have to share with any other internet sites and all the resources are absolutely yours. It happens to be without a doubt the best selection especially for individuals huge tool requirements. If they end up being too large to always be handled proficiently by VIRTUAL PRIVATE SERVER, the specialized hosting would be the next best choice. It can but be not cheap.
VPS organizing – It all bridges the very gap relating to the dedicated and even shared hosting models. This is because it is about combined with the goog price of the embraced kind of organizing with the escape of specialized kind of organizing. It is lower priced compared to your own server and even performs exceptionally better than embraced servers. The time aren't embraced meaning that your web blog won't have affected by the rest of the models users with in the same system. Your websites remains self-governing even with the very shared real bodily machine. You like dedicated storage space features and also benefits using this type of internet hosting but with a cheaper selling price.
When looking for the most effective web hosting alternative, it is best that you simply start by taking into consideration the business needs you will have. Startups and people that are increasing will find the particular VPS internet hosting much more advantageous and cost-effective. The well-established large organizations on the other hand will see the committed hosting to get much more successful and hassle-free. All the internet hosting types acquire advantages and disadvantages and they also should all be taken into consideration just before a final selection is made. No matter which hosting sort you select, you can find plans which can be most suitable to your web hosting requires and strategies that are in the budget or perhaps financial restrictions that you have. There are some things for everyone as a result of the different alternatives now available.

Happy Mothers Day to all of you awesome ladies! Hope your enjoying this day with your lil ones!
Just wanted to say
Thanks! I hope everyone was pampered today!
Thanks you too! Hope we all had amazing days
Happy Mothers Day to you all!!!
What did everyone do?
My DH surprised me with Krispy Kreme, Ghuardelli chocolates (he's gotten them for me a few times lately and knows I like them), and a pina colada mix that was REALLY good. The kids picked out my card and he had them sign it. So cute!
We had a cookout yesterday and then went for a 2 mile hike - Judah's first hike and Noel's first hike where she walked the entire time. Everyone did good!
I hope you all had a wonderful mothers day. We celebrated with both sides of our family. I got a nursing blouse from Dh's mom, some artisan japanese rice bowls from my dad (he gives strange gifts), some chocolates, roses, and hydrogel pads from a friend. DH got me a card...I told him not to get me anything. He has been doing everything around here from cooking, cleaning, walking the dog and all the diaper changes. That is gift enough.
My almost 5 year old suprised me with a necklace he made at school. He was very proud of it and was excited because he made it in my favorite color. He told me he wants me to wear it forever, lol. It was so cute and so sweet. DH isn't really into gifts for specific holidays, which is fine becaue he spoils me all year round. We had a nice day at home and DH woke up with me and the kids (he's on a different schedule) and went and picked up Outback for dinner. Those are the two things I asked for and I got them so I was very happy.
My kids got me a card and some flowers. DS gave me a cute picture of himself framed in popsicle sticks that he made in his pre k class. Later in the day dh took me to Home Depot to pick out some plants. I love plants. I ended up getting a huge Ivy and a mixed pot of herbs. Nothing too exciting but it was perfect to me.
DH didn't even tell me Happy Mother's Day. This was a crappy one.

Adriana, I'm sorry your DH forgot. Men can be such turkeys sometimes.
Ha! I wish I could say he forgot but that morning his family was sitting at the kitchen table (him too) and he saw me give a ros? to his sister and tell her HMD. IDK what his deal was.. And honestly, IDK why I'm letting it bother me. :/
BIL had kept Julie overnight into Mothers Day and we stopped for breakfast on the way to pick her up. I'm PRETTY sure we would have stopped anyway, but I'm just going to think he took me out for breakfast. He did TELL me Happy Mothers Day - but I think that's only because my phone was beeping like crazy from everyone wishing me one..
After we got home, it was just like a normal day. Tried to calm a fussy baby and then I made dinner. Nothing special.
((((Adriana)))) hey! ya got a text from me! That's all that matters, right? LOL ....kidding...kidding..
DH helps a ton around house and with the girls but for some reason he made me feel guilty he was helping with the feeding sun at 2 am and then usually sun is his day to sleep in so I technically got two this weekend and he made me feel bad about that but just because he was like tired and sighed. But the rest of the day was nice. I got an infinity knot ring with the two girls birthstones on it and a necklace from etsy that says I love you to the moon and back and then has the girls names on it. dD made wind chines at school for me but it is COVERED in glitter so I am handling it carefully! We hung at home and did some decluttering ( I am on a big kick with this right now) and then ordered baked haddock from a place I like. Overall it was really nice!!
On the other hand... My mom is passed away and my MIL is great but when it comes to the daughters she makes me nuts... I could go on forever but I asked her to do dinner because FIL was leaving to go out of town at 4. She said she didn't want to deal with crowds and reservations etc. so at like 630 my SIL posts on fb "out to dinner with the best mom in the world". It annoys me because we tried to take her out and she declined and my SIL is the type that will also throw it passively all the time like well I took. Mom out for mothers day. Ugh!!!

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - The government's Counter-Terrorism Bureau issued a warning on Tuesday to Israeli families vacationing during the week of Passover to stay away from the Sinai Peninsula.
Every year, thousands of Israeli families flock to the seaside resorts in the Egyptian Sinai, despite government's warnings of "very high and concrete threats" of kidnapping and other acts of terror by Islamic groups.
The Lebanese-based Hezbollah terror group has issued warnings for more than a year to avenge the death of its deputy commander, Imad Mugniyeh, who was killed by a car bomb in Damascus in February 2007.
Hezbollah blamed Israel for his death, though Mugniyeh's widow believes Syria was behind the assassination.
The Counter-Terrorism Bureau warned Israelis, especially businessmen, to stay out of most Arab and/or Muslim countries, including Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, Somalia, Algeria, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Mayalsia, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, Tunisia, Qatar, Morocco, Bahrain, Egypt and Jordan.
The bureau also warned Israelis to avoid Libya, Oman, Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria, Tajikistan, Mauritania, Kashmir, Mindanao (in the Philippines), and Chechnya.
The advisory further admonished Israelis planning to visit Colombia to conceal their identity and travel by air whenever possible. If traveling by car, they should use main highways and avoid driving after dark.
