People Karl Rove
This was written just before the Super Bowl and Super Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2008 Thursday, December 20: Walter C. Uhler: Truth, Lies, Errors and Bullshit About Iraq and Iran (3 comments) The thought provoking book, On Bullshit, by Professor Emeritus Harry G. Frankfurt provides a perspective from which to evaluate bullshit flung by the Bush administration, the neocons and the mainstream media. Saturday, November 10: Cindy Sheehan: A New Direction to Disaster (5 comments) A response to Karl Rove's Wall Street Journal Op-ed and the Dem Congress' Iraq policy; In Karl's diatribe against the failed 110th Congress he makes all kinds of misleading and scurrilous claims about Congress. I NEVER thought I would agree with the Master of Sleaze about anything, but taking no joy in my agreement or conclusions, I do agree that the 110th is pretty pitiful, but for obvious different reasons.
Rep. Gonzalez endorses Obama; Clinton gains Hispanic support
Clinton has 1,136 delegates and Obama has 1,108, according to the Associated Press. The virtual deadlock means the roughly 800 superdelegates — current and former elected officeholders and Democratic Party officials — may play a key role in determining the nomination. In Texas, the superdelegates include the 13 Democratic members of Congress, current and former Texas Democratic Party leaders, former House Speaker Wright and current and former Democratic National Committee leaders. Both candidates have established campaign offices in San Antonio, El Paso and the Rio Grande Valley, where a large concentration of the state's Latinos is located. Clinton picked up the support of Tejano Democrats of Texas, a statewide group of Latino lawmakers and leaders.

Barfoot Snowboards Turns 30
His hands are strong and worn, his face weathered from a life spent smiling in the sun and surf, his language peppered with words fit only for R-rated films, and his laughter, frequent and contagious, reeks of slightly dangerous fun. Spend even a short time talking with him and you are guaranteed stories at every turn in the conversation, ranging from nude wine stomps and barefoot hell runs on skateboards down Hot Springs Road to rock climbing chaos with his 90-pound dog Wakunda hanging off him and billy goats kicking rocks onto his head 40 feet up a rock face. Barfoot is the type of person who, you suspect, should you encounter trouble on the trail or waves or snow, would put a reassuring arm over your shoulder, make light of the situation, and pass you a whiskey-filled flask to ease the pain.
Greyhounds are great dogs
This article is so one sided it's untrue and I'm sure you can see from all the comments that have been added to the article that I am not the only one of this opinion. Greyhounds are the most gentle and placid dogs and the fact that these two were muzzled goes to show that they have a responsible owner. .
Gorillas in the Midst of Murder; Corruption in Alaska; America Votes ...
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
ANDERSON COOPER, ANCHOR: Let's get serious now. We begin with endangered animals under attack; one of the most majestic animals in the world, the mountain gorilla. There are only about 700 of them left in the world. And in the last year, ten of them have been killed, all shot to death.
It has gotten so bad that conservationists now fear the entire species could be wiped out. The gorillas live in a forest that straddles Rwanda, Uganda and the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo.
And that is where this year the killings have taken place. Last year, you may remember for 360 I traveled the Congo, I saw the endangered mountain gorillas in Congo. I have actually been six or seven times over the years to the region since I was a teenager.

Failing the Lohan Test
They probably tell the bill's opponents that they are faking when they say they're faking their opposition. At some point the search for authenticity in state-of-the-art politicians becomes fruitless. A fake "no" vote counts as much as a heartfelt "no" vote. ... 12:01 P.M. Paranoid's Corner II: I'm now so obsessed with the Senate "p.o.s." immigration bill that I think all the news the Bush administration is making--from the President's unusual press conference to his statements on Iran and Iraq to the release of that Osama-Zawahiri message--isn't really designed to influence the public's views on Iran and Iraq or Al Qaeda. It isn't designed to directly influence the public on anything. It's designed to take up media space over Memorial Day so there's less room for angry opposition to the President's immigration bill! It's so obvious....
BUILDERS DO LOTS OF RESEARCH
An option gives the company the right to buy the land at an agreed-upon price within a certain time limit, said Garrett Hinds, Trumark's architectural director. Market research comes next. It involves identifying potential buyers - the Homebuyer family, Ms. Homeshopper or someone else - and their budget. To find that information, researchers get demographic information from the city, the latest U.S. census and the state Finance Department. How old are the would-be buyers? What's their ethnicity? What's their household structure - single, couple, number of children, multi-generation? Are they first-time buyers, move-up buyers or downsizers? Each factor influences what's built. For example, the Olson Co. caters to first-time buyers or buyers moving up to their second home.
