2006 Hurricane Season

It has been a strange Hurricane season so far. Looking at the list of names we have not had very many Hurricanes so far. Makes you wonder if the end of the season is going to be stronger than normal?

An ill wind is BREWERing in Arizona

Posted by AzBlueMeanie: Many of you have heard by now that Governor Janet Napolitano has been tapped by the Obama transition team to become the new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Napolitano may be Homeland Security pick It is only a matter of official confirmation. Napolitano would be a vast improvement over Michael Chertoff whose dysfunctional response to Hurricane Katrina bordered on criminal negligence. He should have been forced to resign along with Michael "heckuva job

Why Obama's Futurama Can Wait

Schools and Hospitals Should Come First in Any Stimulus Package By Mike Davis America's "Futurama" is defunct. The famous walk-through diorama of a car-and-suburb world, imagineered by Norman Bel Geddes for General Motors at the 1939 New York World's Fair, has weathered into a dreary emblem of our national backwardness. While GM bleeds to death on a Detroit street corner, the steel-and-concrete Interstate landscape built in the 1950s and 1960s is rapidly decaying into this century's equivalen

A National Guard Mom - Part 3

The last part of my friend’s Three Part Series. I have a disclaimer here - I am no Angel! We helped each other, we decided that if we couldn’t get the support we needed from the official channels, we’d do it OURSELVES - we found like minded people, and supported each other. There are GOOD FRGs, and they are a great place to start - but if you can’t find one - get up off the couch, and do it yourself, there will be others like you to join with. LAW Ok back to my lament……. To prepare us

From Jamie Sommers: "Re: Payerpath. Word is that Art Glasgow, the Payerpath president, resigned from Allscripts-Misys today on a town hall conference call. He was a good guy and the reason why Misys bought Payerpath in the first place." Unverified. From The PACS Designer: "Re: federated identify. You will be hearing soon about a new concept called federated identity. Microsoft and other software firms are working on bringing this concept to fruition in the next year or so.

Our Own Judy Garland

Last Friday a couple hundred gays and their friends chased a small group of young Christian preachers out of the Castro, calling them “bigots” and chanting “Don’t come back!” I wish I’d been there. The video of the event, or rather part of the event, has now been posted on YouTube, along with a written account by one of the preachers, who claims that they were both physically and sexually assaulted. “It wasn’t long before the violence turned to perversion. They were touching and grabbing me,

Catching Up with Some Documentaries

Despite my recent trip to Chicago, I’ve been able to view a few more videos for the Notable Videos for Adults Committee. As you can see from my list, I’ve been watching but haven’t been blogging about them. So, I just want to post so brief reviews of a few thing I’ve seen recently. The Drive: A Driving Tour of Post Katrina New Orleans The title pretty much explains the movie. The filmmakers drive to different sections of New Orleans to show the extent of the damage caused by the hurricane and b

By Christopher Ketcham 21/05/08 “Radar” – — 05/15/08 – -In the spring of 2007, a retired senior official in the U.S. Justice Department sat before Congress and told a story so odd and ominous, it could have sprung from the pages of a pulp political thriller. It was about a principled bureaucrat struggling to protect his country from a highly classifie

My Party, Right or Wrong

This is a long, link-heavy, almost “stream-of-consciousness” jumbled post. So be warned…. There seems to be a civil war going on. Hard to the right Conservatives who reluctantly jumped aboard the straight talk express- not because they were for McCain so much as they were against Obama (and for Palin)- are now angrily throwing McCain under the straight talk bus. A small camp of conservatives blame the Palin pick. She rejuvenated the base but turned off independents, whether through legitima

Motorcycle Helmets, Wheelies, control through propaganda, Blackwater USA, the line in the sand

Often times what gets lost in the arguments about wearing helmets vs. not wearing helmets is what the argument is actually about. This applies to those on both sides of the issue, like so many other issues that plague us in this day and time the desire to win an argument based on "personal agenda" becomes more important than the real science and real facts behind the argument. More importantly, with divisive issues, science and fact are not necessarily the criteria by which issues of rights a

Chance Favors The Prepared Individual

# 2471 (With apologies to Louis Pasteur) Every year thousands of Americans are forced to evacuate their homes - sometimes for only a few hours, sometimes for days . . . and sometimes permanently. Fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, chemical spills, and even terrorist attacks are all realistic threats. And many can happen with little or no warning. The fires this weekend in Los Angeles are a perfect example. Hundreds of homes destroyed, and more than 10,000 people evacuated.

California Wildfires Could Have Been Worse

California Wildfires Could Have Been Worse Just as theres a hurricane season or a rainy season, its only natural that there also is a fire season. The fires that spark during the fire season bear different names, such as wildfire, wildland fire, forest fire, vegetation fire, grass fire, peat fire, hill fire or the Aussie-based bush fire. Although it has so many meanings, a wildfire or bush fire is basically a fire which is not controlled and which occurs out in the wild. It can be carried over

Win? Lose? Tie? Scoring the Democrats' big push in Harris County

Hey, let's start an argument. Did the Democrats' big push in Harris County succeed this year? It all depends on your expectation. Those who expected Harris County to essentially replicate the Dallas County Democratic Surprise of 2006 -- with Harris County electing its first African American district attorney and ousting Republican tax assessor and chief election officer Paul Bettencourt -- were disappointed. And they've sounded off -- some, anonymously -- in this piece by The Texas Observer's

“Pea Knuckle” - Review Of The Knux’s Remind Me In 3 Days

Words By K1NG Being yourself in the music industry is probably the most difficult thing for a major-label act to do. With the label heads reaching their hands out for a catchy single, fitting in the narrow restraints that define musical genres, the constant fear of writer’s block stalling an album’s progress, and the paying public wanting to hear something similar to what they heard the last time they turned their radio on, it would be easy for an artist to fall to that pressure of changing
