"My problem is imagining what it would be like to have a bipedal hominid and a chimpanzee viewing each other as appropriate mates - not to put it too crudely." ...

I don't know what the illegal immigration solutions are, but the Bush Administration placing pencil pushing Nat'l Guard Troops on the Border is only an attempt to push the poll numbers up.

USDA says 156,235 pounds beef recalled for e-coli
Sat May 6, 2006 6:00 AM BST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Friday said that an Oklahoma-based company has voluntarily recalled 156,235 pounds of ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli bacteria.
The company, Fadler, Southwest Food Distributors, LLC of Tulsa, has voluntarily recalled beef products produced on various dates between February 6 and May 3.
The problem was discovered through routine product testing on beef patty products that were distributed to retail establishments, restaurants and institutions in Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, the USDA said.
E. coli is a potentially deadly bacterium that causes bloody diarrhea and dehydration, leaving the very young, seniors and those with compromised immune systems at the highest risk.

"Representatives"

Have you ever surfed over to the thomas.loc.gov website to see what we pay our "represntatives" to vote on?

Here's a very brief example of a few decisions they may make for us.

Upcoming Votes

Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act - H.R.4939

The Senate is scheduled to complete work on this $106 billion spending bill providing emergency funds for hurricane relief and military operations in Iraq.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lobbying Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 - H.R.4975

The House is scheduled to vote this week on this lobbying reform bill.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAFE Port Act - H.R.4954

Go look at what they did yesterday and ask yourself how much of this crap affects you, or the majority of Americans? http://thomas.loc.gov/


A quick Google brought up only TPM Cafe reporting on "106 billion supplemental"

Mything the Point of "Freedom isn't Free"
By background N015E bio at TPM Cafe
When people start talking like that, I always check to make sure my wallet is safe. It's the kind of platitude people resort to so they can justify the sacrifices they ask others to make.
Let me give you an example. Right now the latest in a series of off-budget-down-payment-without-oversight-emergency- appropriation bills is heading for the Senate floor. The total bill is $106 Billion. This omnibus bill is for Iraq and Katrina relief...

Why is the MSM (mainstream media) so lousy at reporting things like this? I have my suspicions

Hmmm, 106 billion, looks like a lot, some is supposed to go to Katrina re-building, so why is Qatar being so generous?

And I saw a couple of proposals to stop the oil companies from price gouging, what's up with them?

Could it be that Mexico, India and the Philippines receive the most in remittances. More than 60 percent of the Latino population in the U.S. is of Mexican descent.

Architects who expect the carpenters to create miracles because they don't understand how building materials really work together make me sick. People who design crap that looks great on paper and have no clue that what they designed is really useless crap, and impossible to make, make me sick. Snotty, privelidged assholes who buy, or crony their way into positions of power, but have no experience with what real people go through on a daily basis....yep, you guessed it, MAKE ME SICK.

...but it took one of the most arcane allegations in his fraud and conspiracy trial to raise his ire again: An accusation that he tried to dodge accounting rules...

Yet he chastised the prosecutor during lengthy questioning on the accounting issue.

"I think it's a real waste of the jury's time. We've spent an hour on this,"
Lay's eyes narrowed as he said the prosecutor seemed to be suggesting to jurors that he broke the law.

"I was fully complying with all the existing regulations and requirements on my stock transactions," Lay said.

Some jurors rolled their eyes...

Hey Kenny Boy, ya think that those people who worked for 25 or 30 years and lost their pensions give one good goddamned flying fuck whether you are questioned for an hour? How about the years they wasted earning a pension they'll never get because of your company's fraudulent practices?
