Terror in Mumbai: IT could be next target

...The bombs strategically targetted the local trains: the transport lifeline of Mumbai. All the blasts were in the first class compartments which carry middle and senior management of corporations, banks and government, apart from owner-managers from various markets. Thus, the target-segment was chosen carefully to break the middle layer of the industrial hierarchy and create terror. Until now, this class was never targeted...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The dollar on Wednesday was on track for its biggest one-day gain against the yen in 18 months, boosted by a smaller-than-expected U.S. trade deficit in May and growing uncertainty about Japanese monetary policy

Resident calls for recount in 50th District runoff
Last modified Thursday, July 6, 2006 10:04 PM PDT
By: WILLIAM FINN BENNETT - Staff Writer
SAN DIEGO ---- A registered voter living in the 50th Congressional District filed a formal request with the county registrar of voters office late Wednesday asking for a hand recount of all the ballots in the June 6 special election runoff...


...On June 29, Haas certified the election results, kicking off a five-day period in which requests could be filed for a recount of the votes. However, due to the holiday, the deadline ended Wednesday.Registrar of voters spokesman Mike Workman said that county counsel is now reviewing Jacobson's request for a recount, as will registrar Haas upon his return to the office. Once that review has been completed, Haas will discuss with Jacobson the projected costs of conducting the recount ----- a process which can cost the requesting party as much as $2,000 to $3,000 a day, Workman said. He added that depending on how detailed Jacobson wants the recount to be, it could take several days to complete....

The comments section for this article is a good example of some of the opinions in the county. I'm pretty sick of the Repugnanthuglican bullies, I 'd like two minutes alone with some of these morons.

So what's up with the recount? How much will it cost?

Lay Cheats Justice





For Lay's estate, and his widow Linda, the positive implication of this grim day is that the government now has no means to collect on its forfeiture claim against Lay for $43.5 million...

...That makes it more likely that Linda Lay will be able to hold onto remaining assets, like the Lays' $3 million Houston condo. Having sold several properties in Aspen to pay legal bills, the Lays were reportedly renting a place there when Ken Lay died.
Larry Ribstein, a law professor at the University of Illinois College of Law, thinks Lay's death might provoke a reevaluation of government strategy in pursuing white-collar criminals. "A natural sympathetic reaction will cancel some of the anger that was driving all this," he says.
That could end up being good for Lay's co-defendant Jeffrey Skilling...

A declaration of war
Fri, Jun 30, 2006 8:20pm EST
"Media Matters"; by Paul Waldman
This week, the conservatives declared war.

Not on The New York Times. Not even on the media in general. No, this week the entire conservative movement -- from the White House to Republicans in Congress to Fox News to right-wing talk radio to conservative magazines -- declared war on the very idea of an independent press....


Ummmm...Dudes? The media (including the New York Times) has a long history of carrying water for those in power. I'd really like to think that us uppity bloggers are changing that, I really would, but here's some relatively recent history (as far as human civilization goes, it's recent).

I've read this book, check it out

It's about William_L._Laurence of the New York Times

And it's the first time I ever saw this quote written, although I had heard of the quote before.

Regarding the 1939 letter to Roosevelt, his biographer, Ronald Clark, has noted:
"As far as his own life was concerned, one thing seemed quite clear. 'I made one great mistake in my life,' he said to Linus Pauling, who spent an hour with him on the morning of November 11, 1954, '...when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification - the danger that the Germans would make them.'".

Mama is proud.

We could learn a lot from the youth in this country.

I wish people would quit treating them like they're stupid, or incompetent, and completely irresponsible because they are not legal adults yet. You think people magically turn into responsible adults on their eighteenth birthdays?

Now if you'll excuse me I want to finish this book today. So far, I think the title of the book is appropriate. The one descriptive phrase for the Supreme Court that jumped out at me was (that they were) "pompous asses." After spending the better part of two days trying to find out somthing about John Diebold, (who apparently has nothing to do with the voting machines, but sure looks like he was a member of the ruling elite to me) the arrogance of the members of the Supreme Court is ...ummm...not surprising.

All that hoohah about the decision that the court made on Thursday re: Gitmo? I'll take a wait and see attitude. The ruling elite are, after all, the ruling elite.

Yeesh, between the gas and oil companies , the companies and people that pollute, the Navies that protect them and the ignorance of global warming, the whales and dolphins are fucked. The noise isn't just "pollution" to them it is survival, or death. They beach themselves, and sometimes the tympanic bones recovered from their corpses are broken. If they are deafened that means that they have no way to navigate.

In fact the oceans are fucked, but don't try to tell the captains of industry that, their useless offspring don't have enough in their trust funds yet. And the captains have help.

Number three just shows how long it took for the Dictator-tot to start towing the corporate line, and paying back his buddies. Same old short term thinking, only look at next quarter's earnings, never mind that you're crippling people, just keep repealing laws that say you have to cover health insurance, or move everything to India, or switch to temporary employees.

and blatant abuse of power to benefit cronies


and global warming

He said he was afraid that Earth "might end up like Venus, at 250 degrees centigrade and raining sulfuric acid.")
