Said they were taking them to an orphanage in the Dominican Republic. Is this group part of New Life Church. I'd read (in The Family) that it was expanding. And why take orphans from Haiti to drop off in Dominican Republic?

Newsday Paywall Fails to Make Money

01-27-10 1:14 A GMT-08
Readership up because online news is free to paper subscribers and cable users, but readership has narrowed become local. Employees not happy. It was supposed to make money, instead has reduced papers influence. Newsday.com only has 35 subscribers. Wake up NYT!

HCR bill likely to deny women the basic right to health care. Srsly Centrists, You Want to Pass This? SRSLY???

01-26-10 6:39 P GMT-08
The bill as it stands makes second class citizens of women solely based on the genetic makeup of their bodies. And yet we are told just to get in line and support it. Right.

Raw Stroy: Teabaggers Threaten American Cartoonist

01-11-10 6:19 P GMT-08
Much like the Muslims have threatened a Danish cartoonist over his depiction of Mohammed, the teabagger movement has recently had members threatening Mark Fiore a brilliant video hurmorist over video about how to speak like a "tea bagger". The cartoon premiered in November, but Bill O'Reilly recently used it to assert that NPR which hosts Fiores video cartoon on their site is too liberal.

Frank Rich: The Other Plot to Wreck America

01-10-10 7:23 A GMT-08
Another group works to gain advantage over Americans. They have the power to do more damage to our nation than Al Qaeda and other terrorists. And surprise they are not a political party, but they do seem to own them. Frank Rich explains.

Mitt Romney Vote Fraud

01-09-10 6:19 P GMT-08
Mitt Romney voted in recent MA election despite having sold his last home in the state by using his son's address and has sent mai-in ballot for January's special election for senator. I doubt that qualifies as legal in anyway but mainstream news media's eyes. I'm evem betting. That's more voterfraud than ever proven against ACORN or it's associates or employees (which BTW was nil)

The Marriage Revolution Struggle Will Be Televised! Proposition 8 Trial will be shown on YouTube

01-08-10 6:17 P GMT-08
The right screams that their witnesses will be intimidated. People might also see that Ken Starr (Yes, that Ken Starr who often goes by the name Kenneth these days) is one of their main lawyers too. The judge will be able to decide if witness faces and voices should be changed. But what about their names? Ted+Olson (Argued the Bush side in Bush v Gore) is part of the team. Some wonder if the suit is just to nationally outlaw SSM before the coinservatives lose their majority. (The word is that Justice Kennedy is looking towards retirement.) But will the closet cases among conservatives turn the tables?

Juan Cole Offers Reality on The Latest Iran News

01-08-10 10:10 A GMT-08
Another great piece from Cole This one is explaining how we should deal with Iran and why you should believe little of what you read in the papers and nothing from Murdoch's rags. (Actually he passes you on to arms control specialist Gareth Porter for rebuttal to Murdoch's London Times assertions about nuclear trigger plans found in Iran.)

The Ady Gil Sinks. And the LA Times Tells Us Who the Heck Ady Gil Is

01-08-10 9:22 A GMT-08
I heard the Ady Gil was provided to Sea Shepherd by someone connected to Hollywood, and today's LA Times report on the final sinking of the former "Earthrace" tells us that the benefactor is one Ady Gil. Details at link. I'm sure the Japanese already know this and will try to attack both Ady Gil proper and Bob Barker in the usual personal attack style of right wingers, neocons, and corporatists world wide.

Juan Cole: The Stupidity of Profiling Nations and What We Should Do (Title paraphrased)

01-08-10 8:39 A GMT-08
We will lose money and power by discriminating against Middle East and African nations and the selection of countries for invasive inspections before travel recall pre Martin Luther King policies is what I read in Mr. Cole's piece. He also thinks that patting everyone down from the watch list countriies wouldn't work and other methods will.

Egyptian Soldier Killed at Gaza Border During Dispute

01-06-10 6:45 P GMT-08
Soldier shot twice in back. Egyptians claim from Palestinian fire. So Egyptian soldiers stand with their back to the fight? oR Are they saying their soldier was running away? It sounds like friendly fire to me.

Sea Sheperd's Anti-Whaler superboat, Ady Gill, Heavily Damaged by Japanese Whalers

FDL: Casual Observer: Was Pants Bomber Motivated by Israeli Attack on Gaza Last Year?

01-06-10 5:33 A GMT-08
Abdulmutallab seems more likely to be inspired by attack on Gaza. Tickets were bought before December's attack on Yemen al Qaeda accompliiss compound, AAP claims for that motivation falls flat.

The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.

Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.

National Enquirer: Elizabeth Edwards Set on Divorcing, Destroying John Over Rumors of Other Affairs

The Way Out
It's time to get out of those woods, Mrs. Edwards
Come back to life.  And BTW, field dress the philandering bastard just before you leave. (Speaking metaphorically, of course.)

Well they were right about the other parts of the Elizabeth and John saga, though they've been seemingly wrong about George and Laura Bush's impending divorce, breakdowns, unsustainable drinking, etc. for years.

Article says Elizabeth is planning to take John for all he's worth, and expose his secrets in court.

Just like my wife recommended she do in a Tweet the other day.   Liz isn't using Twitter incognito, is she?

Just kidding.  I'm sure she's plenty smart enough to think this plan up herself.

See National Equirer " " for online details.  I guess the full story is at the check stand.
