revs at work (ted kaczynski roolz!)
they link to greenwald so i dont have to. i cant imagine a worse president than rudy (other than the one we have). and despite the
national polls which having him beating the three top dems head to head (but not state to state although that may be true as well), the rethugs are still pushing fred thompson hard in the media (or the media is pushing him hard on the wingnuts) which leads one to believe they dont really have much confidence in rudy long-term.

After a two-year legal battle, the city of New York has dropped its lawsuit against Time’s Up!
The lawsuit, filed March 22, 2005, targeted the monthly Critical Mass bicycle rides in Manhattan, in which large groups of cyclists ride together. The city sought to require that Critical Mass obtain a parade permit, and also wanted to stop Time’s Up! from promoting Critical Mass.
“We’re very happy that the case was dropped,” said Bill DiPaola, director of Time’s Up! “We’re hoping that this is a first step in a more positive relationship between bicyclists and New York City.”
The city was forced to drop the lawsuit after the Police Department instituted a new rule, said Sheryl Neufeld, senior counsel in the Administrative Law Division of the New York City Law Department.
The new rule defines a parade as a procession of 50 or more pedestrians, vehicles or bicycles, Neufeld said. The old rule did not specify a number of participants.
We are very close to
the end:
The US embassy in Baghdad circulated a memo to all Americans working for the US government in the Green Zone. It ordered them to wear protective gear whenever they were outside in the Green Zone, including just moving from one building to another. Guerrillas have managed to lob a number of rockets into the area in recent days, and killed one US GI on Tuesday.
What the fuck are they going to do? Move the green zone to Kurdistan? They cannot move it out of Baghdad (would be admitting defeat,) but they also cannot defend it (no way to clear a large enough security corridor around it to stop rockets because hundreds of thousands of people live in the immediate area.) So I guess they will just sit there until a rocket gets lucky and hits something important. Then we'll pull out like in Beirut after the Marine barracks bombings.
What other scenarios are there?
gonna have to say this seems like a mixed blessing.
According to UK's Telegraph, a deadly species of jellyfish, translucent and the size of a thumbnail, is spreading along Australia's coastline as a result of global warming.
Irukandji jellyfish are among the world's most toxic creatures – all but impossible to detect in the water but packing a potentially lethal punch belying their tiny size.
Their discovery has halted production of Warner Bros. Pictures' Fool's Gold, starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson, who were originally due to be filmed swimming in the sea. Dr. Jamie Seymour, from James Cook University, said she had found five of the animals off Queensland's Fraser Island.

greenwald has been slamming them all day.
when people say theres a cancer growing on this white house, this is probably not what they had in mind. although he might be the first person in history to view a leave of absence for chemotherapy as a relief.

I think we saw a gyrfalcon on saturday. Alex, is it possible? It was HUGE, bigger than any eagle I've ever seen. But it had pointy bent wings like a falcon, and very dark, almost black, on the underside. We saw it quite close up, near the north shore of Lake Erie, which I know is a hot spot for migration.
