But even that wasn’t the top political threat McCain faced last week. Bigger still was the mounting evidence of the seamless synergy between his campaign and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage monsters at the heart of the housing bust that set off our current calamity. Most of all, it was the fast-moving events on that front that precipitated his panic to roll out his diversionary, over-the-top theatrics on Wednesday.
What we were learning — through The New York Times, Newsweek and Roll Call — was ugly. Davis Manafort, the lobbying firm owned by McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis, had received $15,000 a month from Freddie Mac from late 2005 until last month. This was in addition to the $30,000 a month that Davis was paid from 2000 to 2005 by the so-called Homeownership Alliance, an advocacy organization that he headed and that was financed by Freddie and Fannie to fight regulation.
The McCain campaign tried to pre-emptively deflect such revelations by reviving the old Rove trick of accusing your opponent of your own biggest failings. It ran attack ads about Obama’s own links to the mortgage giants. But neither of the former Freddie-Fannie executives vilified in those ads, Franklin Raines and James Johnson, had worked at those companies lately or are currently associated with the Obama campaign. (Raines never worked for the campaign at all.) By contrast, Davis is the tip of the Freddie-Fannie-McCain iceberg. McCain’s senior adviser, his campaign’s vice chairman, his Congressional liaison and the reported head of his White House transition team all either made fortunes from recent Freddie-Fannie lobbying or were players in firms that did.

WASHINGTON — A "culture of substance abuse and promiscuity" existed in the federal agency that handles royalty payments from oil companies, including sexual encounters between government employees and industry representatives, according to a memorandum released today.
The Interior Department's Inspector General, who has been investigating the U.S. Minerals Management Service's Royalty-In-Kind program, said government employees who were supposed to be regulating the oil companies were engaging in drug use and having sex with industry contacts.
"Several staff admitted to illegal drug use as well as illicit sexual encounters," Inspector General Earl Devaney wrote in a Sept. 9 memo to Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne released today.
Devaney pointed to one supervisor in the Royalty-In-Kind program — under which oil companies are allowed to pay royalties owed to the federal government in actual oil rather than cash — who "engaged in illegal drug use and had sexual relations with subordinates, and in consort with industry."

These children of the corn people out here are freaking me out. said one- "its not fair katrina got more press". i was tempted to reply " yea, but you didn't have as many floating bodies or a guy named Brownie to come to the rescue.

my new boss said, we are only looking for hard workers, are you a hard worker?

again i was tempted to reply- yes

but instead i said well i get tremendous amount done every day but sometimes i make it look too easy

my,my do the right lie

I love this internet thing, it makes it so easy to check out hunches.

when i saw this head line-Author Ron Suskind writes in a new book that the White House ordered the CIA to forge a backdated, hand-written letter from the head of Iraqi intelligence to Saddam Hussein in an effort to create a link between -ect

I rembered the letter and of course Fox news covered it as fact.Terrorist behind September 11 strike was trained by Saddam http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/1449442/Terrorist-behind-September-11-strike-was-trained-by-Saddam.html

so i thought, that you could not fool a real journalist with such fake shit. So this Con Coughlin must be a hack. It looks like i was right.

Con Coughlin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Con Coughlin is a British journalist and author. He is currently the executive foreign editor of the Daily Telegraph[1] and is the author of various non-fiction books relating to the Middle East, and the War on Terror. He is considered one of the world's leading right wing authorities on the Middle East.[2]
He is the son of the Daily Telegraph's former legal affairs correspondent. After his education at public school and Brasenose College,[3] Oxford University, he joined the Daily Telegraph in 1980, and spent time in Beirut, Jerusalem and the US[4]. He has held various positions within the Telegraph Group, including Defense and Intelligence Editor and Managing Editor of Sunday Telegraph. He has written for various right wing publications such as the Daily Mail, The Spectator and in America; The New York Sun, Washington Times and National Review, and has had certain articles reprinted in various newspapers around the world. He frequently appears on NBC and CNN as a reporter on the Middle East and Afghanistany

I am now left with the question, is he another right wing dupe? Or did he suspect the letter was false when he ran the story?

the ACLU and the NRA should take this case

US man charged for shooting mower

Witnesses told police Mr Walendowski appeared to have been drinking
A 56-year-old man from the Midwestern US state of Wisconsin has been arrested after shooting his lawn mower in his garden because it would not start.
Keith Walendowski was charged by police in Milwaukee with disorderly conduct and possession of a sawn-off shotgun.
He could face a fine of up to $11,000 and a maximum prison sentence of six-and-a-half years if convicted.
Police officers said Mr Walendowski had told them: "It's my lawn mower and my yard, so I can shoot it if I want."
Police found the shotgun, a handgun and a stungun, as well as ammunition, when they detained Mr Walendowski in the basement of his house.
Witnesses told police that he appeared to have been drinking.
The lawn mower was found sitting outside Mr Walendowski's house, which he shares with his mother, with the rubbish on Friday.
A local retailer said that Mr Walendowski might now have difficulty getting his lawn mower repaired.
"Anything not factory recommended would void the warranty," said Dick Wagner, of Wagner's Garden Mart in Milwaukee

The drip that must be fixed

Just got back from DC ,spent 5 days there with my son in law and daughter. On Thanksgiving Shannon and I had a great time cutting veggies while listening to alice's restaurant. Pual's mom came out also and we all had a meal that couldn't be beat.

The next day we all went out and saw 3:10 to Yuma, where not unlike some of the characters in the western I first became involved in a conspiracy. Unwitting at first but after discovering the true genius of the plot. I threw in my lot, with the master mind of the caper, Pual's Mom.
Who in an even better analogy to one of the movie's characters, outlaw Ben Wade,
a heartless killer and gang leader with great knowledge of the Bible . OK maybe the killer and gang leader stuff is a stretch but she does have great knowledge of the Bible.

well that is all for today but in the coming days i promise to tell more of ,what due to it occurring in DC has now been named "dishwasher-gate" .

LET'S IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT


Let's impeach the President for lyingAnd misleading our country into war
Abusing all the power that we gave him
And shipping all our money out the door

Who's the man who hired all the criminals

The White House shadows who hide behind closed doors

They bend the facts to fit with their new stories

Of why we have to send our men to war

Let's impeach the President for spying

On citizens inside their own homes

Breaking every law in the country

By tapping our computers and telephones

What if Al Qaeda blew up the levees

Would New Orleans have been safer that way

Sheltered by our government's protection

Or was someone just not home that day'

Flip - FlopFlip - FlopFlip - FlopFlip - Flop

Let's impeach the president for hijacking

Our religion and using it to get elected

Dividing our country into colors

And still leaving black people neglected

Thank god he's cracking down on steroids

Since he sold his old baseball team

There's lots of people looking at big trouble

But of course our president is clean.

Thank God

I will still say goodbye for no good reason

Hello's purpose

Here's a mistake people make every day. Before I studied linguistics, I used to make it too. You want some extension, say 432. You dial the main number, and the receptionist answers with the usual, "Good morning" or "Columbo Wigmakers, how may I help you?". You answer, "432." The receptionist says, "I'm sorry, what extension was that?"
Know why? Well, unless the receptionist was just talking to a person with approximately the same size vocal cavity as you, she or he has no hope of understanding you.
Vowel sounds are made by using the mouth as a resonating cavity, and distinguished from each other by such things as the position of the tongue, which changes the resonance. Since vocal cavities vary in size, we can understand a person's vowels only in relation to their other vowels. The pitch of a large man and a small child are very different. In fact, a larger person's high vowel in "see" could have the same pitch as a smaller person's low vowel in "saw."
Humans are amazingly good at understanding speech, and only need about two syllables to pick up a speaker's vocal range. This means that the first two syllables in a conversation will generally not be understood, and this is particularly true on the phone where the listener has no cue as to the speaker's size.
So give the receptionist a break. If you start by saying, "Hello," or even "Extension 432," you will suddenly find yourself much better understood.

Minutes; Birtday 07

spent time with mom today, got cake,chicken, asparagus, rice ,socks and sweaters
i liked the cake, chicken, asparagus and sweaters, but the rice and socks tasted funny.

though what i always enjoy most are her stories. she is seventy now, and you know how old people tell folksy, wisdom filled tales? well she doesn't, she may have some but iv'e never herd one from her. I always love it when she tells me any thing to do with her computer- she once told me she could not save documents because her printer was not working. when I told her to just save them in a folder and remember where she put them, she looked confused and said that's what she does but how could that be done without a printer?
it was then that I discovered that she only saves docs by printing them out,putting them in folders and the remembering where she put them.
I fixed the printer.

yesterday she told me about her latest traumatic run in with that printer. I won't go into details but ya know when your printer just keeps printing? now picture that happening to my mom. If you have met my mom you are now giggling.

I also spoke at length with my wonderfull Daughter, but as my only reader she likely doen't need a recap

In a March 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer, Gore said, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."But the real question is what, if anything, did Gore actually do to create the modern Internet?
According to Vincent Cerf, a senior vice president with MCI Worldcom who's been called the Father of the Internet, "The Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given to it and related research areas by the Vice President in his current role and in his earlier role as Senator."
The inventor of the Mosaic Browser, Marc Andreesen, credits Gore with making his work possible. He received a federal grant through Gore's High Performance Computing Act. The University of Pennsylvania's Dave Ferber says that without Gore the Internet "would not be where it is today."
Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia University, claims that Gore "was perhaps the first political leader to grasp the importance of networking the country. Could we perhaps see an end to cheap shots from politicians and pundits about inventing the Internet?"

6 drunk elephants electrocute themselves
By WASBIR HUSSAIN
The Associated Press
GAUHATI, India — Six Asiatic wild elephants were electrocuted as they went berserk after drinking rice beer in India's remote northeast, a wildlife official said today.
Nearly 40 elephants came to a village on Friday looking for food. Some found beer, which farmers ferment and keep in plastic and tin drums in their huts, said Sunil Kumar, a state wildlife official.
They got drunk, uprooted a utility pole carrying power lines and were electrocuted in Chandan Nukat, a village nearly 150 miles west of Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya state
