Skip to comments.Obama Visits Afghanistan, Will Make Televised Address Tuesday Evening [Free Campaign Commercial]
Posted on 05/01/2012 1:26:29 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper
President Obama has arrived in Kabul, Afghanistan, on a surprise trip to sign a strategic agreement with Afghanistan. He will address the nation at 7:30 p.m. EDT from Bagram Air Base on Tuesday evening. In going to Afghanistan on the ninth anniversary of the most notorious example of premature presidential gloating, Obama risks turning the high point of his presidency into a political weapon for his enemies. But it will be how the president conducts himself while in the war zone that will determine if this trip is lumped in with George W. Bush's donning of a flight suit and appearing on an aircraft carrier under a "Mission Accomplished" banner.

I find it interesting we don't allow our football players to taunt the other team saying they should act like they have been there and we have to go through this bs.
Obama's "brilliant" Democratic campaign staff apparently believe the public is so stupid that said public won't see this as political. Obama is the "Greek column" President, using imagery and symbolism to cover up his laziness and lack of interest in his job.
I guess George E. Condon Jr. will be watching it with his pants around his ankles.
ANOTHER f'n address..seriously he is doing everything possible to milk this for every last drop that it's worth..Obama is a disgrace to the White House..I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE his stinkin guts!!
He'll do it again on the morning of Nov 6th too, and the lame stream media will run it all day.
For the dull-brained Americans who still fail to grasp the meaning of that banner (not here in FR, but in general): THE BANNER REFERRED TO THE COMPLETION OF THE MISSION OF THE ABE LINCOLN, NOT THE IRAQ WAR!!!!!
Just givin' the props their troops. Er, uh...troops their props. Yeah, that's it.
This is a new height of stupidity and narcissism for the President. He seems totally indifferent to the added danger he is creating for our tropps - trying to protect his sorry ass while he does his end zone dance. Nothing like rubbing your enemies faces in it - on THEIR turf. Stupid!!!
Somebody at the so far useless RNC had better be finding out how much this campaign trip is costing us, and use it. Everyone knows what the Emperor is doing, and he needs to be called on the fact that he is once again using our money for his campaign trips. This is really getting friggen ridiculous. Not only that, but the same networks that refused to cover Romneys speech are going to cover this? Somebody please get this POS out of our White House!!
The RNC has already started to send to protests to the GSA.
Us former WalMart shoppers, who can't afford to shop there anymore, will enjoy watching it while dining on our .88cent Banquet frozen dinners...mine has a brownie in it for dessert! Must be my lucky day...
Thanx Obama!
/extreme s
He doesn't have any other achievements so he has to milk this for all it's worth.
I've made it through four years without hearing that flap-eared punk give an address, speech, etc. In fact, I've heard very little that's come out of his mouth. It will make me happy to continue on in that vein tonight.
According to my estimate, at 7:30 p.m. (EST) it will be 4:00 a.m. (May 3rd) in Kabul.
Bet the troops (who will no doubt be "ordered" to appear) are thrilled over that.
THANK you for that, Scott!
The truth is so refreshing when one is bombarded with lie after lie after lie after lie......
No details about "the agreement" but my gues is; Our muslims will help your muslims to further Islam in the world .. wink wink.
Only if people watch him. I never do.
What a buffoon.
I was talking about his speech ... not his sex life! LOL
I see he's stumbling thru the speech someone else wrote for him. Sheesh.
Perhaps someone will bean him with a shoe.
THANK YOU for saying that AGAIN! Needed repeating.
YES - the biased media blatantly used the Banner - Mission Accomplished and beat W to the ground with it.
Stupid GOP never fought back. Neither did W. Thanks for the reminder.
BTW........ this POTUS will use his TOTUS to brag to us tonight and break his arm patting himself on the back. ugh.
Glad to here that, they need to hit this POS with everything they have, unlike Mccain. If the indies don't like it, they will deserve the future they vote for. We can no longer hold back and let this snake and his allies lie without calling them on it. 2 generations have now been brainwashed into believing the liberal garbage, because our candidates want to be liked by the media. If Romney is smart, he will find a way to get Newt out front as a spokesman, cause right now only him and Rush can explain conservatism to the unwashed masses, and I doubt Rush is going to give up his day job.
"If Romney is smart, he will find a way to get Newt out front as a spokesman, cause right now only him and Rush can explain conservatism to the unwashed masses, and I doubt Rush is going to give up his day job."
Right onnnnnnn....... Right onnnnnnnnnnn.
Rush is awesome. Newt DOES clearly articulate to the unwashed masses. Great idea. Perhaps we should begin notifying the Romney campaign what we expect. We cannot sit on the sidelines. My grandkids deserve better.
The Kenyan Marxist is going to mess up my DVR-ing of NCIS and NCIS L.A.
Will be listening to Red Sox baseball.
And he did that how?? Without Congress putting their approval to it?? Surely it involves money.
I really hope they can do that. I realize Romney and Newt probably don't personally care for one another, but then again they are politicians, so who knows. I do know that Newt loves his country, and I think Romney feels the same, so maybe they can get together for the good of the country. If someone doesn't start explaining to our youth what conservatism is, it will die. Just look at online conservative sites, how many people under 25 are members, not many. It is because to the young, we are right wing hate mongers that want to stone gays, put women back in the kitchen, and starve poor people. This is what they have been taught by our lovely media, and someone needs to change that.
Romney needs to go to Club Gitmo' for a tour and speech opportunity to explain why there shouldn't be outstanding EOs to close it.
That's not entirely how terrorism works, a great deal involves killing off soldiers and innocent civilians to drive the message that our president is powerless to protect us.
LOL sorry for going off a little bit there but he pisses me off SO much..I wont be watching, if I want to see someone milking their 15 min of fame I'll watch the Kardashians
I'll be listening to Cardinals pregame (and they damn well better not preempt it for this s##t either).
Ooooh, even under the cloak of secrecy, I'd rather get a root canal without sedation than be forced to watch or hear Obamarambo speak.
Im so sick of this communist son of a communist whore.
Oh, so he actually WENT to Afghanistan in order to FURTHER his anniversary celebration of Osama's death???? What a POS. I don't think this will get him too many points....
HGTV's House Hunters for me. Thank God there is an escape from this cretin.
The trip makes me think of Bush's secret trip to Iraq for Thanksgiving in 2003, which was so secret that no one heard about it until he was safely on the way home. The troops thought someone was going to come out and read them a message from President Bush, and out walks their Commander-in-Chief to serve them Thanksgiving dinner.
Obama will announce a breakthrough agreement with the Taliban and that peace in Afghanistan is a hand. Everyone will rejoice and worship the new savior - the peacemaker.
He will say he met with the Taliban leaders today and a ceasefire (think Kerry in France with Vietcong) will become effective on a certain day. What will not be said is that from his stimulus reserve of $$ billions, he is transferring a cool billion for them to stop until after the election.
That will give the Taliban with AQ backup, money and time to regroup and be ready to take over Afghanistan in 2013, thanks be to Obama.
May he be subject to the tender mercies of the Fedhayeen.
It took how long to get OBL? The credit should go to our intelligence agencies and Gitmo. It reminds me when I was a kid. Go through all the work to make a cake and have someone take credit for all the hard work. Obama had the fun part...cutting the cake.
Yes, this is worrisome. Just what exactly is a "strategic agreement?" Hammered out by whom, and when? Nobody knows anything about it, and now he's going to sign it. Grrr....
Thanks very much, and I agree the GOP refused to respond to those attacks. That it was so easily explained is what makes that whole matter so aggravating. The repubs simply let the dems have the narrative on it.

Kolopak was the father of Chakotay, and a member of a Native American tribe who moved to a planet in what later became the Demilitarized Zone.
Kolopak had a saying, "Home is wherever you happen to be." (VOY: "Deadlock")
Kolopak felt that that Chakotay should have been taught on how to properly construct shelters, such as log cabins. (VOY: "Resolutions")
He was dedicated to the land and to the tradition ways, passed down from the ancient Rubber Tree People. He spent years investigating the origins of his tribe, and eventually took a teenage Chakotay on an expedition to the Central American rainforest to find those Rubber People who had remained in their original homeland. They succeeded, and Kolopak was given a tattoo in the style of the Sky Spirits.
However, Chakotay did not share his father's views and saw his tribe's traditional way of life as backward. During the expedition, Chakotay revealed that he had been accepted into Starfleet Academy, and would be leaving their world. Kolopak, though disappointed, let his son go. (VOY: "Tattoo")
With the advent of peace between the Federation and the Cardassians, Kolopak joined the Maquis to defend his homeworld from the threat. He was killed in action and this event prompted Chakotay to leave Starfleet and take his father's place in the Maquis, as well as get an identical tattoo in honor of his father's memory. (VOY: "Tattoo", "In the Flesh")
When Chakotay believed that he had a child, following Seska stealing a sample of his DNA, he went on a vision quest, and communicated with his father to decide what he should do about the child. Kolopak told Chakotay a tale of their tribe, many centuries ago, when white conquerors raped the women, impregnating many of them. The tribe accepted the children and cared for them, regardless of their births; one of them, Ce Acatl, was a direct ancestor of Chakotay. Kolopak asked Chakotay if his son was any different from Ce Acatl, and Chakotay acknowledged his father's wisdom; whatever the circumstances of his creation, his son was his son, and a child of his people. (VOY: "Basics, Part I")

- Title
- Observations from using models to fit the gas production of varying volume test cells and landfills
- Author(s)
- Lamborn, Julia
- Abstract
- Landfill operators are looking for more accurate models to predict waste degradation and landfill gas production. The simple microbial growth and decay models, whilst being easy to use, have been shown to be inaccurate. Many of the newer and more complex (component) models are highly parameter hungry and many of the required parameters have not been collected or measured at full-scale landfills. This paper compares the results of using different models (LANDGEM, HBM, and two Monod models developed by the author) to fit the gas production of laboratory scale, field test cell and full-scale landfills and discusses some observations that can be made regarding the scalability of gas generation rates. The comparison of these results show that the fast degradation rate that occurs at laboratory scale is not replicated at field-test cell and full-scale landfills. At small scale, all the models predict a slower rate of gas generation than actually occurs. At field test cell and full-scale a number of models predict a faster gas generation than actually occurs. Areas for future work have been identified, which include investigations into the capture efficiency of gas extraction systems and into the parameter sensitivity and identification of the critical parameters for field-test cell and full-scale landfill predication.

Overseas Births, Marriages and Deaths: Records in The National Archives
There is no single place to find all the birth, marriage and death records of the British overseas. However, The National Archives holds a substantial number of them, in a variety of record collections. This talk looks at civilian and military registers kept by the British authorities, and by churches, consulates and other bodies abroad. Please note that this talk does not include events at sea, which are the subject of a separate talk. Speaker Keith Mitchell joined The National Archives ten years ago and specialises in overseas birth, marriage and death records.

"Yes, he is extremely competent as a CFO, but he really is just a great person," said Mauro Guerra, CEO, in an article written by Joel Williams in the San Antonio Business Journal.
A Refugio High School graduate, Perez earned an associates degree in accounting from Del Mar and a bachelor's degree in accounting from Texas A&M - Corpus Christi.
His first job out of college was with the CPA firm of Henry M. Torralva in Beeville.
His parents, Joe and Elia Perez of Refugio will travel to San Antonio for the awards ceremony.
"We're so proud of him," said his mother, Elia Perez.
What began as two companies employing 46 people has ballooned to five companies with 160 employees. Revenues have tripled, the company refurbished two buildings and the company has grown to a client base of more than 450 physician groups, 15 hospitals and 23 surgery centers in South and Central Texas, according to the San Antonio Business Journal.
Soon after coming on board, Perez reorganized and revamped the company's accounting system using the company's newly acquired software. He then installed a new payroll system that saved the company time and money.
"We're in an industry that is so scary for all of us right now," Guerra said in the Journal story. "I'm so appreciative to have someone with the experience that he has, and the personality that he has, to keep us going through the ups and downs that we have gone through."
Perez also heads up a year-end charity to provide assistance to families at Christmas.
He says he wants to be known as "the guy who looks out for the employee and for the company."
From preparing financial statements to overseeing payroll, retirement and a host of other duties, Perez has gained the respect of his colleagues.
His philosophy is simple, "treat others as you wish to be treated. I practice that on a daily basis. I feel that if you are qualified to do the job, you don't need me to look over your shoulder to see that the job is done. I treat all employees with respect and professionalism."

The Associated Press - Published: December 6, 2012
Bo Jackson enjoys going to the supermarket much more these days.
Back when he was a two-sport pro athlete and pop culture star more than two decades ago, the family cook couldnt do his grocery shopping without being mobbed by fans. Perhaps surprising for a guy who was once everywhere on TV in a classic ad campaign, not everyone knows Bo anymore.
It really doesnt bother me that people dont know who I am, said Jackson, who turned 50 on Friday. Its kind of nice in a way.
An admittedly private person who long struggled with stuttering, Jackson has taken on a more public persona recently. In the spring, he biked across his native Alabama, recruiting other celebrities to raise money for victims of the 2011 tornados that ravaged the state. Jackson was part of the four-man search committee as his alma mater, Auburn, hired Gus Malzahn as its new football coach Tuesday.
And he agreed to participate in a documentary about the only man to be selected for both the NFLs Pro Bowl and baseballs All-Star game.
You Dont Know Bo, about the 1985 Heisman Trophy winner, will premiere Saturday on ESPN after this years Heisman ceremony. The title, a play on Nikes famous Bo Knows commercials, was partly inspired by a conversation director Mike Bonfiglio had with his two teenage cousins, both big sports fans. They didnt know Bo.
That was a very interesting thing to me, that this guy who was so incredibly famous for a brief period of time he was one of the most recognizable names and faces in the country, Bonfiglio said on a conference call with Jackson on Wednesday.
But even older fans who vividly remember Jacksons outrageous athletic feats might not really feel as if they know Bo.
I think hes still an enigma, Bonfiglio said.
Jackson thinks everyone makes his legacy more complicated that it was. Teammates called him a freak of nature, he recalled, but Im just being me. As a kid, he played multiple sports and played them well; the way he sees it, he simply kept doing that as an adult.
As far as doing the dual sports thing, that was just a way to keep me out of trouble, he said. Idle time with me is the devils workshop, and if my mother was still alive, she would tell you.
He played running back for the Los Angeles Raiders and outfield for the Kansas City Royals until injuring his hip in a 1991 NFL playoff game. He briefly returned to baseball after hip replacement surgery.
Back when I was playing, that was my job, Jackson said. I never saw it as, Hey, Im transcending an era here and Im a pop icon or whatever or Im this person. Im not blowing smoke here: I saw what I was doing it was my job. ... It was my source of employment. It was my way of keeping a roof over my familys head, putting food on the table for my family.
Bonfiglio said the film would have gone on even had Jackson declined to participate and at first it wasnt clear if he would. But Jackson said he was happy to help as long as it didnt take too much time from his business commitments.
What surprised me the most about Bo is what a good story teller he is, Bonfiglio said. Hes just really, really eloquent and just spins a good yarn, and hes fun to listen to.
Those Nike commercials celebrated Jacksons versatility as other stars from Michael Jordan to Wayne Gretzky list all the sports Bo knows. As clever as the ads were, Jackson doesnt consider his fame a marketers creation.
You have to perform to get that notoriety, he said. You just cant go and put your name on a shoe and become an overnight sensation. You have to prove it.
And as normal as Jacksons feats felt to him, they were extraordinary to the fans following them.
When people watched the things that he did on the field, it expanded their imaginations, Bonfiglio said. When you see something that you dont think is humanly possible, it makes you dream differently, and thats what Bo did. When people saw him, it completely captured their imaginations and expanded their consciousness in a way, and that I think is the main reason why he was such a phenomenon that transcended athletics.
Jackson laughed and interjected: You could say that.

The Costa Condordia remains stricken after a further five bodies were found by a mechanical robot, two months after it ran aground on March 23, 2012 in Giglio Porto, Italy.
Italy's top appeals court ruled on Wednesday that Francesco Schettino, the captain of the Costa Concordia, was unfit to command the cruise liner which ran aground and capsized off the Tuscan island of Giglio in January, causing at least 30 deaths.
In a written explanation of its decision to maintain a house arrest order against Schettino, the Court of Cassation said he had shown "little resilience in performing command functions or in handling responsibility for the safety of persons under his care."
Schettino has been accused of wrecking the 126,215-ton liner by bringing it too close to shore, where a rocky ledge tore a gash in its side and made it keel over and sink. According to the court, he "has proven not to be able to handle a dangerous situation typical of his profession, despite the specific professional skills and experience."
Costa Concordia captain's blunders detailed in Vanity Fair
Investigators also accuse Schettino of delaying evacuation and losing control of the operation, during which he abandoned ship before all 4,200 passengers and crew had been taken off the vessel.
He has been charged with multiple manslaughter, causing the accident and abandoning ship prematurely. A pre-trial hearing was held in Grosseto, near Florence, in March.
The Court of Cassation said Schettino had shown himself unable to manage a crisis and to ensure the safety of his passengers and crew and said there would be a risk of a repeat of the disaster if he were given a command again.
That part of the ruling justified the decision to keep Schettino under house arrest at his home in Meta di Sorrento, near Naples in southern Italy, as a concrete danger of a recurrence must be shown for the arrest order to be upheld.
Thirty bodies were recovered and two are missing. The wreck lies on its side in some 20 meters of water within a stone's throw of the picturesque island port.
Salvage experts are expected to stabilize the wreck by August and then refloat it and remove it from the marine natural park off the Tuscan coast where it sank.

Skip to comments.RNC chairman: Primary changes will rebuild GOP
Posted on 03/15/2014 4:45:24 PM PDT by re_tail20Edited on 03/15/2014 4:46:03 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
Planned changes to the Republican Party's presidential selection process are part of a rebuilding process that will strengthen the GOP brand and hopefully make its presidential nominee more competitive in 2016, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told California Republicans on Friday, calling the GOP's current primary process "a complete disaster."
(Excerpt) Read more at townhall.com ...
Stupid is as stupid does
So the GOP is going to stop selling out to the moderates?
The GOP is going to advocate for American jobs?
The GOP is going to fight for America?
Or more of the same. Because that is the deal. Fix our country, or more of the same.
It is not complicated.
Those endless primary debates suck, and only give ammo to the Dems.
He really put himself out there with this statement - let's see what the excuses are when we still have Candy Crowley and the rest of the Praetorian Guard moderating the debates.
Note to self: bookmark for later reference and pat on back
"Stupid is as stupid does"
Best comment on the matter.
"Priebus said..."
I am so very reassured by THAT.
Without some elaboration this sounds hysterical.
Methinks the lady doth protest too much. William Shakespeare
Dumping Reince would also be part of the reform. Not one dimes worth of difference.
With less than half the debates of last time, and with the convention a couple months earlier, I'm not complaining.
Although even more drastic changes need to be made, I'll see where this goes.
I was hoping by now Prince Reibus would have been fired. As much as I thought Michael Steele was a failure, Prince Reibus is far worse and not even a glimmer of conservatism running through his veins. At least Michael Steele was touted as conservative before he was head of RNC even though he became a laughing stock of going on tv shows and trying to be hip by getting jiggy wit it and using other played out 80s pop culture phrases to make him seem hip with the yutes.
Walking, talking definition of "whistling past the graveyard." Do not call for whom the bell tolls, Prince.
"calling the GOP's current primary process "a complete disaster."
Two needed changes for presidential primaries:
1. Have the debates during the primary season only with conservative panels (and for the presidential general election debates, require at least half of the questioners on the panel be conservatives).
2. As another Freeper suggested recently, rotate the earliest primaries and caucuses, with the states having voted for the Republican candidate in the previous presidential election having a preference.
I'm really tired of New Hampshire and Iowa going first every year and having some resident of one of those states whining on TV that so-and-so candidates had coffee with us at our home four years ago to ask for our vote but this year we haven't even had one candidate show up at our sewing bee pancake breakfast.
With Rinse Repeatus saying that this time we will pick the moderators, that makes you wonder why the hell you didn't do that in 2008-2012 etc. It took you 6 years to figure this out? What were you thinking back then, that Dems played fair? With incompetence like that at the supposed head of the RNC, it is no wonder we lose.
Though Priebus is at best a weasel, he is right about the debate schedule...
27 debates are WAY too many...people and candidates get burned out and it gives the dims lots of political ammo...
Picking out own moderators is simply a no brainer...one would think that decision should have been two POTUS election cycles ago...
They aren't called the stupid party for nothing...
If the RNC is for it, it must be bad.
Can someone please tell me...
"Who" is it that determines if a primary is "open" or "closed"?
Is it the state legislature, or the state party, or who?
Thanks in advance.
Repeal The 17th
Allow me translate.
"We will fix the process to eliminate any but our chosen at the earliest opportunity so that our edicts will go unchallenged.
"We will select moderators that help us further smear conservatives by the wording of their questions. We are looking at Bill O'reily at the moment. Note this for later.
"We are changing all these details because our corporate donord demand that we liberalize and so our changes will reflect diversity including abortion, homosexuality, reperations and open borders. No, we won't just dump it on you, don't worry. We will continue doing exactly what we have been all along, changing not a damn thing, telling you it's new and watching in hysterical laughter as you do our dirty work and attack any who aren't complete useful idiots."
Your pals at the GOP
Hey Prince Reebus ...
How about that "electoral disfunction" Bob Dole?
How about "renegade" John McCane?
How about "Romneycare" "Mitt" Romney?
looks like TPTB are pushing you towards a Jeb loss, since butterball Christie was outed.
Go left, young man.
"moving up the national convention at which the nominee is typically selected to June and cutting the number of debates are "not an establishment takeover. This is using your brain. Everything's not a conspiracy."
"Without some elaboration this sounds hysterical. Methinks the lady doth protest too much. William Shakespeare"
Well, remembering that in 2000 Rove and a lot of other establishment Republicans were trying to clear the field for Bush, I think the measures Preibus is proposing could certainly help the establishment. An establishment candidate who can raise a lot of money early can already run over lesser funded conservative/base candidates. Shortening the primary season and cutting the number of debates could accentuate that establishment advantage.
Could be a conspiracy.
Iowa has only a non-binding straw poll, not a primary. At caucuses, local party officials are selected, and delegates to county conventions are selected. Those delegates are not bound to a candidate.
In 2012, for example, Santorum narrowly defeated Romney in the straw poll. Ron Paul backers ended up controlling the state party and got the majority of national convention delegates, who ended up backing Romney anyway as a nod to party unity.
Dang. Sorry, I paraphrased your post without attribution.
Please forgive me :o)
It's solid strategy. Trouble is they are doing this to beat conservatives, not dems. Notice they say exactly nothing about abandoning the Romney "Stand there and never press an advantage" mentality that they display every single day of the year in the house/senate.
Nothing to forgive. All I did was point out the way this is going down. I hold no publishing rights to the obvious ;)
hm... limiting number of debates in 2016...
clearing the way for Rick Perry ?
I would think it's the state legislation since either state political party could be in charge at any given time and the rules would change all the time...
Many states put that question on the ballot for the citizens to decide....
Because there are so many "independents" who are locked out of a primary vote...times are changing...
I know in Florida as an independent you have to declare which primary you plan to vote in and cannot vote in the other party primary
That leads to serious manipulation of the process....
If the dems don't run a primary....all the independents can vote in the gop primary....which can really sku the vote up...
It smells like Rove is masterminding this debacle. Looks like a RINO, smells like a RINO... it's a RINO!
God, no! He is Romeny with a Texan accent...
"Iowa has only a non-binding straw poll, not a primary. At caucuses, local party officials are selected, and delegates to county conventions are selected. Those delegates are not bound to a candidate."
But doesn't the party have rules that if you hold a primary before NH or a caucus before IA you lose delegates, thereby giving those two states a preference and protected status?
"... Who determines if a primary is open or closed? ..."
"... I would think its the state legislation ..."
That is what I 'think' also.
Georgia has open primaries and it pisses me off.
This might become my new mission.
Still a few freepers pining for both of them. Don't ask me why.
Shortening the primaries is a Romney tactic to
strengthen NH and other DNC-Romney-run states.
The GOP will continue to mean RomneyCARE,
ObamaCARE, open borders, arming al Qaeda,
and enabling Obama's treason.
I'm going to turn 12 degrees off top dead center here.
I'm a small "l" libertarian, and I think I'm being thrown under the conservative bus for lack of purity.
I'm not even a Reagan democrat. How in hell can the GOP (pronounced: gop) influence me to vote for them if I, a steadfast conservative, am held in comtempt, when Reagan won by the graces of independants?
We need a hard right turn, but it sure as hell won't come about if we don't bring along fellow travelers.
The best change, and the only one with a realistic chance to save the GOP, is conservatism.
It's a lesser evil. That's good right? /s
My point exactly.
That is evident.
Iowa and NH are barely states and should have very little to do with picking the candidate to wage war on the domestic communists.
Unless the twerp running the RNC does something about that he can shut the hell up
It's the Candidates, Stupid.
Because you have one job. Vote GOP as you are told by the party and their hundreds of little ass kissers that run around internet forums screaming "LESSER EVIL! and NO MATTER WHAT!
Then you are to sit down, shut up and await your next call to assist (with vote and public vocal praise) their next warp 9 lurch leftward.
Seems pretty clear to me. I mean they have bees screaming exactly that for years now.
Oh...forgot projection. They also project the need for purity, unless it is the wrong kind in their opinion. Then you get pics of Yosmitie Sam on a Dragon and told purity is the root of Dem victory cuZ they know better.
Hey, don't look at me. This is their strategy to hold the base, not mine ;)
I agree but any state with an open primary should be eliminated from the process until late in the game. NH is MAss-lite and the Iowa "caucus" is just as useless IMO. They are too easily manipulated.
Texas should decide the nominee, because we are the biggest state that consistently votes GOP.
So, convince various States to stop permitting open primaries where the Dems cross over and vote for the weakest GOP candidate, knowing they will lose at election time to a Dem.
Priebus is a total goofus who continues to allow the Dems to steal elections.
I want a pic of Sarah on a dragon!
"Priebus is a total goofus who continues to =allow= ..."
You misspelled "Intentionally Help".
If only... ;)
Peta would be on MSNBS with a campaign targeting Palin with "Abuse of imaginary creatures"
...because it's the seriousness of the charge...
That seems correct.
Allowing a few small states to "go first" gives an opportunity for less well-funded candidates to be heard. Do we really want a system where a candidate needs $20 million dollars before the first primary vote is cast? Talk about a GOP-E wet dream!
Iowa is allowed to have early caucuses precisely because they are not binding.
I assume every state has caucuses. How else do precincts select chairs and start building platform planks? Can't do that with a primary.
Caucus costs are paid for by political parties. Primaries put taxpayers on the hook
Mitch has already provided the country club forecast....
With the full support of Rand lest we forget.

Post subject: GSKA vs BCKC Race July 19, 2008
I want to invite all the Rotax drivers to the Bakers Creek Kart Club Race on July 19th. It should be a great race. Well have a few special things planned. A local radio station will have a broadcast from the track and one of their DJs will be racing someone, we havent decided who yet. We will have a catered barbeque lunch available for purchase, and some free pizza later in the day.
Race fees for GSKA members will be set at $45. This will not cover armbands. Armbands are $10 and are good for Friday and Saturday. Early registration will save you $10, so this will cover the cost of the armbands. You can download the form here:
The form and check must be received by Wednesday July 17,2008 to receive the discount. The address to send it to is on the form.
We will require a purchase of a minimum of 2 gallons of VP 93 fuel, at $10/gallon, so have an empty can available.
The track will be available for practice on Friday. The cost for GSKA members will be $35. The time for opening the track is TBA so check the
website for this time. You will be able to leave trailers and even RVs overnight in the pit area. It is fenced and will be locked. There is no power or water in the pit area.
There are two good hotels in the local area. There is Country Inn and Suites,
and The Holiday Inn
that are very close to the track.
The track will be open by 8AM on Saturday and we usually like to have a driver's meeting at 9:30 am. We will have two timed practice sessions, followed by qualifying. We will then take a lunch break. Around 1 pm, we should start back with Heat 1, Heat 2, then Finals.
Hope to see many of you there. There is a set of D2 tires on the line for the winner of the Seniors and Masters class combined points from our two race days. Thanks,
Glenn Tillery

If you have tow vehicle, I can give you trailer with kart and tools, Michael, pay for gas and entry fee and you make sure he will not brake anything. He will stay home bored otherwise.

Well the first day is complete, and even with the heat, hot,hot,hot, all the GSKA guys are having a blast. What an awsome track, well, if you like long straights and tight turns, but then who doesn't. Ross and Angus look great in their new Birel karts. Pat, Kevin, Cory, Jason, Palmer will sleep good tonite. Tomorrow we will see how we stack up but I think we should hold our own.
Anyone who was not able to attend, should make plans to come over and just race a regular race with these guys, everyone here is friendly and more than happy to help.

I have to agree with Rick on all points. Everybody has been really friendly and the track and facilities are wonderful. Unfortunately, I spent more time pushing my kart than driving early in the day. Once I figured out that I had a bad battery, I got in some laps and hope I learned the track well enough.
I am also starting to understand the appeal of the sport of drifting. I have been practicing on completely shot D2s and it's almost like ice racing out there...but quite fun to drive! I'll strap on some new tires this morning and see if I can still hold it on the track.
Big thanks to Cory for bailing me out with the spare battery!!! I think I know where my power went in the last race now.
Looking forward to sunrise. I love the smell of 2 strokes in the morning!

Judge Koh to Apple Lawyers: Are You "Smoking Crack"?
Jason Mick
August 17, 2012 9:45 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Comedy Central)
As with Motorola case, Apple is starting to get on the judge's nerves in its case against Samsung
Like a boss, Apple, Inc. (
) went out and poured money into recruiting top tier legal representation to sue its rivals. In
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
, this synergy seemed on the verge of succeeding after Apple's lawyers micromanaged to
exclude certain high profile pieces of evidence
from rival Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
), while allowing its
own star exhibits
. But it appears that yet again Apple is brushing off on its attorneys, as they've found a way annoy yet another judge.
After enduring the seeming harassment of a 75-page briefing requesting 22 rebuttal witnesses for next week, presiding
Judge Lucy Koh
changed her tone, no longer looking to give Apple any courtroom promotion. In fact the filing had Judge Koh inquiring whether Apple attorneys had been busy scoring some coke.
She asked Apple why they would present her the document "when unless you're smoking crack you know these witnesses aren't going to be called!"
But Apple attorney William Lee insists that he wasn't looking for the
free crack giveway
, commenting, "First, your honor, I'm not smoking crack. I can promise you that."
He argued that a couple of the witnesses on his lists were Samsung's. As Samsung and Apple's legal teams then fell into a noisy legal argument, she exclaimed,
according to
a courtroom reporter for
The Verge
, "I'm billing time because you all are being unreasonable."
Judge Koh had already pushed both sides to cut down on the time of their arguments, saying the court could not devote itself to being a full-time Apple v. Samsung court. Apple tested the waters last week, asking Judge Koh to allow a rebuttal witness, designer Susan Kare, after its early design witnesses had
struggled under cross-examination

But Apple said Ms. Kare couldn't return to court until next week due to "family matters".
Irritated, Judge Koh told Apple's team that unless Ms. Kare could come this week, she wouldn't be coming at all. But Apple's lawyers apparently couldn't take the hint, requesting even more witnesses for next week on Thursday.
That kind of belligerent filings and judicial frustrations strikes eerily similar to that encountered in the case against Google Inc. (
) subsidiary Motorola which Apple presented to
Judge Richard A. Posner
, a
Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals
judge moonlighting in the
U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois
Judge Posner initially seemed
inclined to listen
to Apple's infringement claims, but after Apple insisted on appealing every single decision --
even its own victories
-- with a slew of junk filings, his sentiments shifted sharply. With both sides quibbling and unable to reach a settlement, he decided the best course of action was to
toss out both sides' cases
. He dismissed the lawsuits "with prejudice".
As Judge Koh experiences a similar "eye opening" experience regarding Apple legal's policy of irritating filings, one has to wonder whether Apple v. Samsung might face a similar fate.
The Verge
"This week I got an iPhone. This weekend I got four chargers so I can keep it charged everywhere I go and a land line so I can actually make phone calls." -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg

today we went to the ped for 6 mos check.
she has been pushing solids since DS was 4 mos but I gave him his first try of apple just yesterday.
she asked how was he doing solidwise and I said ''fne,we tried apple!'' and she gave us this paper with the new menu for DS.
it is made of:vegetal stock made with potatoes carrots and zucchini,two spoons of rice cereal or corn,or tapioca flour(?),2 spoons of grated cheese and 2 spoons of baby food containing meet.
this is absolutely crazy,in my opinion,and will never give that to my poor LO.we are going the BLS way
I'm just wondering how many moms follow that diet and how are their LOs.
but the thing that upset me most was when she said that we had to give him this food at midday IN PLACE of BM
that was too much!
I just kept nodding...yes yes ok...
OMG she's the only ped in my district!!!

As sisters, we never expected to face cancer together. But that's what happened - one of us with Stage I ovarian cancer, and the other with Stage III ovarian cancer, one right after the other. Chester County Hospital was there for both of us - same doctor, same team, and most importantly, the same outcome. Thanks to Penn, we are survivors. And that's a kind of sisterhood all its own.
Gynecologic oncology is a subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) devoted to diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the female reproductive system (also called gynecologic cancers). Physicians who specialize in this area of OB/GYN are referred to as gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic oncologists first complete training in the specialty of OB/GYN before completing advanced training in gynecologic oncology.
Cancer can affect any part of the female reproductive system, including the:
Gynecologic oncologists have training in both surgical and medical treatment of gynecologic cancers. They perform surgery to remove cancerous tumors, which often involves removing the organ affected by the cancer as well as nearby lymph nodes and neighboring tissue that may contain cancer cells. Gynecologic oncologists also administer chemotherapy, treat cancer recurrences, and perform research in clinical studies to investigate potential new treatments for gynecologic cancer.
Gynecologic oncologists have an important role in the care of women with cancer, but treating cancer involves a team approach. When a woman is diagnosed with a gynecologic malignancy, gynecologic oncologists work to coordinate the patient's cancer care with other members of the cancer team.
The cancer team typically consists of several different physician specialists and health care professionals, including radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, advanced practice nurses and nurse navigators, and physician assistants. The team's goal is to provide comprehensive care for each patient for the best possible outcome and quality of life.

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as Public Enemy No. 1? Well, 50 years ago, that was nearly true.
As the nation celebrates the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington and the anniversary of King's "I Have a Dream" speech -- arguably one of the most important speeches of the 20th century -- few are also remembering that the historic civil rights leader was once under heavy surveillance by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI.
Hoover's techniques were primitive but effective -- bugging hotel rooms, digging through trash cans for telltale receipts or paying close associates to reveal details.
Back then, tapping someone's phone without a warrant -- the 1960s version of high-tech electronic surveillance -- was seen as taboo, condemned today as one of the excesses of that era.
Those were the bad old days when law enforcement exercised too much power, and everyday citizens had fewer rights.
But now, after a series of revelations about the sweeping extent of the government's electronic snooping capabilities, it's a moment to ask whether government surveillance has somehow gone full circle.
The modern-day FBI
Last week I interviewed outgoing FBI Director Robert Mueller, who has the same job today that Hoover held with an iron fist in the 1960s. Muller said the nation's approach to surveillance has changed from in the days when the government spied upon King.
Today, said Mueller, things are different.
"I do think it's tremendously important as we develop the capability to gather intelligence that we focus on the goals of collecting that intelligence and assure that the objective is one that is agreed upon by Justice Department, the Congress, administration and the like," Mueller said. "You can get out of a lane so to speak on intelligence because there aren't many guides as you have in the criminal justice system."
Mueller added that during his time as head of the FBI, investigations involving civil rights received high priority. The FBI website devotes dozens of pages to civil rights violations, hate crimes, human trafficking and modern slavery.
They also investigate so-called color of law abuses -- acts carried out by government officials operating "within and beyond the limits of their lawful authority" -- excessive use of force, sexual abuse, false arrest and fabrication of evidence.
The bureau says 42 percent of its total civil rights caseload for 2012 involved these types of investigations.
Muller said cases such as these are part of the FBI's "smaller victories" in recent years that also included extensive work in other areas, including public corruption, white-collar crime and mortgage fraud.
"At bottom, for us, it's the credibility of the institution and the focus on integrity that is at the heart of what we do. And to the extent that the American public believes that we are not political, that we are objective ... and treat everyone the same, it's tremendously important. It goes back to the integrity of the institution and its individuals."
Under surveillance
King had long been watched by law enforcement, including the FBI in the months and years before the speech. Surveillance of King in the 1960s was focused primarily on whether he and his movement were being infiltrated by communists, according to historians.
But after King left Washington in August 1963, the surveillance escalated as the bureau began to view him as the "most dangerous Negro in America."
The stepped-up surveillance was authorized by the brother of the president, none other than the attorney general of the United States, Robert F. Kennedy, on Oct. 10, 1963. The younger Kennedy feared King had ties to top members of the American Communist Party. Ironically, five years later, in 1968, both King and Bobby Kennedy would be assassinated, just months apart.
Humility and scandal
The surveillance focused on King's private life -- both the good and the bad. Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer David Garrow's meticulous accounts of the day-to-day -- and sometimes minute-to-minute -- details of King's life show him as being intensely self-critical.
Garrow told CNN in 2008 that the secret tapes compiled by the FBI showed that King truly believed he was alive to be of service to others and "not a man with any egomaniacal joy of being a famous person."
But the tapes also reveal another side of King.
Private behavior that would surely attract tabloid headlines today -- including a secret meeting with a woman in Washington's Willard Hotel after a party -- was highlighted in the recordings. King was married and had four children.
Today, the rules -- and the standards -- have changed.

July 17, 2013 —
MILFORD, PA — The Pike County Historical Society, located in Milford, PA, is home to a blood-stained flag that cradled the head of mortally wounded President Abraham Lincoln the night of his assassination at Ford's Theatre. Simply called "The Lincoln Flag," this blood relic made its way to Milford in 1888 at the hand of Jeannie Gourlay, an actress in the production of "Our American Cousin," the play being performed on that fateful night.
It is said that the flag was taken from the Presidential Box by Thomas Gourlay, who was Jeannie's dad and part-time theatre manager. Upon his death he left it to her, and when she married and moved to Milford, the flag and three stage costumes were among her possessions.
Jeannie lived in Milford until her death in 1928. She left these mementos from the theatre to her son Vivian Paul Struthers. In 1954, he donated the flag, costumes and a few other items belonging to his mother to the Pike County Historical Society.
The early means of caring for the flag were somewhat laughable. The historical society displayed the oversized flag at the Community House quite sadly. It hung upon a shower rod, exposed, saturated by both natural and artificial light, vulnerable; ever poignant, however, in what it represented. This blood-stained, eerie reminder of such a tragedy was bound to get the attention and care it needed and deserved one day.
That day came as a result of the dedication and diligence of a woman named Barbara J. Buchanan. She had the chops to make things happen, and that is what she did. She enlisted the help of Joseph Garerra, then President of the Lincoln Group of New York and noted Lincoln researcher. In the early 1980s, a study was conducted, which led to the conclusion that the flag was authentic in its claims, and the first steps in a very important preservation took place. Buchanan led the charge to have the flag encased and displayed properly, footing the bill personally for the Textile Conservation Workshop in South Salem, NY to take steps to assure the flag's preservation in the best way known possible at the time.
Fast forward to present day: the Lincoln Flag is proudly on display at the museum of the historical society. Thirty-year intervals seem to be the mark for changes for the Lincoln Flag. In the 1950s it was hanging on a shower rod. In the 1980s it was put in an archival case. In the 2010s, that same superior case was completely sealed and argon, an inert gas used in preservation, was introduced into the case, thus preserving the flag, as is, forever.
Also new to the case and preservation is the addition of a newer, better Plexiglas. True-Vue Museum Optimum 6.0 is state-of the-art and the best grade of Plexiglas available.
Recording thermometers, produced by Pacific Transducer Corp, and a hygrometer, made by Taylor of Germany, have also been added to the case. All these items add to the high level of care and protection of the museum's prize holding.
The Columns Museum is open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. or by appointment. For more information about the Lincoln Flag, visit the museum's website at pikecountyhistoricalsociety.org.

Allan B. Mattson
BERLIN Allan B. Al Mattson, 63, of Cedar Drive, died peacefully Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014, at his home, surrounded by his family, after a two-year battle with cancer.
Born on June 26, 1950, in Barre, he was the son of John and Marjorie (Eastman) Mattson. He attended Barre City and Barre Town schools and graduated from Spaulding High School in 1968. In earlier years, he attended the East Barre Congregational Church.
In 1968, Allan married Joyce B. Martin. They made their home in East Barre where they raised their three children. In 1996, they moved to Berlin.
Allan loved to work with his hands. At a young age, he developed a love for woodworking. Following his graduation from high school, he worked in the construction business and eventually started his own construction company.
From 1977 to 1990, he was a volunteer firefighter and officer for the Barre Town Fire Department and the East Barre Hose Company. During this time, he was the fire warden for the county. He also ran a program teaching fire safety to children at area schools. His own children were proud to have Captain No Burn as their father.
Allan worked for the Granite Cutters Credit Union, and he became the president. The credit union grew from a small office on the second floor of a Barre Main Street building down onto the Main Street level and became the United Workers Credit Union.
He was an active participant in the Barre Vocational Stone Trades Program, helping students learn by hands-on working in the granite industry. In the mid 70s, Allan went to work in the family business of granite manufacturing, the Chioldi Granite Co. in Barre. He started as a salesman, learning every aspect of the business, and eventually ran the business. Since 1995, the business has continued as Northern Mausoleum Services. He had an outstanding ability to absorb information and use it to do whatever he decided to tackle.
Allans passion in life was helping others and spending time with his family. In recent years, he enjoyed camping with his wife, woodworking, swimming and barbecuing. He was a spectacular father, grandfather and husband.
Survivors include his wife, Joyce Mattson, of Berlin; a son, Mark Mattson, and his wife, Paula, of Barre Town; two daughters, Lori Hanchett and her husband, Thomas, and their children, Bryton and Kirsten, of Williamstown, and Karen Liimatainen and her daughter, Ashlyn, of East Montpelier; his father, John Mattson, of Berlin; two nephews, James Mattson and Brad Mattson; a niece, Jodie Rouleau; and several cousins.
His mother and a brother, Kenneth J. Mattson, predeceased him.
His funeral service will be on Thursday, Feb. 27, 2014, at 11 a.m. in St. Monica Catholic Church in Barre. Family and friends may call at the Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre, on Wednesday evening from 6 to 8 p.m.
