peace loving muslims threated death

yep: it's kill Rushdie again. England made him a knight, and these Muslims are enraged. Gee, maybe they should all be called a terrorist organization and be done with it.
Well, until Rushdie does one on Jesus, we won't really know. We did have Carter do a book on Israel, he didn't fare very well, but no death threats yet.

Women are slaves. Really. Slaves.

"The 12-year-old was working as a domestic servant in Kolkata when the homeowner told her about a well-paying job at his sister's house in India's capital. But instead, she was sold to a brothel owner and forced into prostitution for little more than a place to sleep and the occasional meal."
Note that she was sold. The "into sex" is a red herring. She was sold, she is owned, she is a slave. That is fucking amazing. In a man's world women slaves are tolerated: they serve men's pleasure. duh.

sex drive self selecting for failure

But in sub-Saharan Africa, prevention programs have mostly failed to curb the behavior -- especially the habit of maintaining several sexual partners at a time -- that drives the epidemic, research indicates.
Look: they are dying for compulsive behavior...

Gaza, but the West Bank...

ok, now what. it's not palestine, it's not gaza and the west bank, it is the sad legacy of arafat.
and reagan: who breathed life into a defeated PLO who sailed off with their weapons from their cornered position in Lebanon: why? what the hell was that about?

The NY Times is way sad....

Bribery in Albany is way down. Damn that Spitzer!

sarkozy likes blair

England seems to match the US: Regan and Thatcher, and Bush and Blair...
Now, sarkozy seems to be joining it... what will this mean for the environment, for Iraq?
Or is Blair being weened away from the US? hmmmm.

If we only had a Democrat in the White House!

For years, individuals within the OAS have tried to promote what might be called a more progressive engagement with Cuba's communist government, which was suspended from the OAS in 1962. One prominent attempt came in 1994*when Secretary-General Cesar Gaviria called for the OAS to end Cuba's isolation. 'The doors must be opened to the airing of ideas,' he said, 'so that information will flow and so that the future will be debated in an impartial environment.'

That effort was cut off at the knees when U.S. officials* subtly but unequivocally demanded that Gaviria drop his call for a dialogue, which he did. Regardless of the wisdom of Gaviria's intentions, the OAS could not challenge a U.S. position that for more than four decades has favored isolation and sanctions over engagement with Cuba."

*gee, wasn't Clinton president? and gee, wasn't he a Democrat... oh. never mind.

No-Confidence Vote on Gonzales Fails in the Senate

This was no victory for the GOP, it was a complete failure: the GOP will vote for dog shit if it's for the party. And Gonzales is dog shit, and low quality dog shit at that.
Never mind about the country.
Hang that dead dumb bird around the necks of the GOP.
I mean, just how bad does a person have to be before these guys will hold their noses?
