Ten Post Round-Up: July 23, 2008

If this round-up were any juicier, you’d totally stick a fork in it…

1. It is long overdue to retire this policy. Gay soldiers should not be held to a higher standard than straight soldiers who are free to date who they like and not conceal their attractions. It is the gay soldier who is expected to keep their mouth shut and their pants zipped, for fear of losing their job. The military does not have room for discrimination, particularly if they hope to continue with war without end in the Middle East.

KOAA.com - Lawmakers reconsider military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy
Tauscher is convinced it’s time to allow gays in the military to be open about their sexuality, and she’s not alone. Three-fourths of those surveyed in a Washington Post-ABC News poll over the weekend said openly gay people should be allowed to serve. That’s up from 62 percent in early 2001 and 44 percent in 1993.

2. Even relying on some resource other than coal or oil to produce our energy needs is going to come with a very steep price tag.

CNN.com: Wind power: A reality check

One of the big challenges with using wind to replace natural gas is that, unlike the steady flame from natural gas, the wind doesn’t blow all the time.

To make sure enough power is available when the wind isn’t blowing, backup generators would be needed, said Paul Fremont, an electric-utility analyst at the investment bank Jefferies & Co.

That could mean maintaining those natural gas plants in case of emergency, or implementing even more novel ideas like systems in Europe that use excess wind electricity to pump water uphill when the wind is blowing, then release it through hydro dams when the wind stops.

Either way, any type of backup system comes with a price.

3. Sorry, guys. It won’t fit in your wallet. But, on the upside, it will be a perfect fit (that is, if it ever gets mass produced…).

Cool Hunting: Spray-On Condom
While most technologies advanced by leaps and bounds in recent decades, condom design has been relatively static for the last century or so. One visionary German scientist is working to change that. Jan Vinzenz Krause has spent recent years trying to make the world’s most common prophylactic available in spray-on form. The technology’s draw, according to Krause (pictured), is that conventional condoms often don’t fit penises of varying sizes (also pictured, sort of).

Ten Post Round-Up: July 22, 2008

This round-up includes spam, porn, and money talk. Oh, you know you wanna read it…

1. The quote that wouldn’t die…

Talking Points Memo: White House Still Trying to Explain Away Maliki
When a guy you more or less install in power and keep there on a very short leash starts going off the reservation, you first claim there was some sort of translation error. Then you claim that what he says is not what he means. When he continues to reiterate the point, you assert that he knows not of what he speaks.

2. Colorado offers the DNC a gas tax holiday for the convention…

LIBERTARIAN PARTY OF COLORADO BLOG: Planning a private party?…
In Colorado, consumers pay 40.4 cents in taxes on every gallon of gasoline. That includes the federal gasoline tax of 18.4 cents per gallon and the Colorado gasoline tax of 22 cents per gallon.

3. A win for adult-websites

Wired.com: Net Censorship Law Struck Down Again
The 3rd U.S. Circurt Court of Appeals upheld on Tuesday a 2007 lower-court decision that the Child Online Protection Act violated the First Amendment since it was not the most effective way to keep children from visiting adult websites.

Ten Post Round-Up: July 21, 2008

Some days, it sucks to read the news, because it’s a reminder that our country appears to be being run by a bunch of frat boys, out on a lark and hoping that a grown-up might come along and fix it (all the while forgiving and forgetting who was responsible for the bull$#!% in the first place)! Unfortunately, these hazy days are not ones that we will soon wake from and it will take many generations of grown-ups to fix.

1. Tazing a few sheep to tame the sheeple…

duckplops: Just When You Thought They Couldn’t Find More Helpless Victims

More and more it seems as though the cops have been told to use the tasers first and ask questions later, and have let them know there won’t be any repercussions, even if they kill the tasee.

2. “Toto, we’re not in Kansas, anymore…”

The Huffington Post: Court Confirms President’s Dictatorial Powers in Case of US “Enemy Combatant”
Wake up, America! On July 15, the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled by 5 votes to 4 in the case of Al-Marri v. Pucciarelli (PDF) that the President can arrest US citizens and legal residents inside the United States and imprison them indefinitely, without charge or trial, based solely on his assertion that they are “enemy combatants.” Have a little think about it, and you’ll see that the Fourth Circuit judges have just endorsed dictatorial powers.

3. Getting answers for the family of LaVena Johnsona is a step towards getting answers for every family who has lost a soldier to foul-play in Iraq.

Shakesville: ColorofChange.org launches LaVena petition
The online grassroots organization ColorofChange.org, a black advocacy group founded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, has lent its support to the family of LaVena Johnson. The group has launched a new petition addressed to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and its chairman, Representative Henry Waxman.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

These days it seems as if it’s a good time to invest in bicycles (to save gas money) and mattresses (to store your savings). At least, we can drown our sorrows in “hopsicles” and if we forget where we hid our money we can rely on our daily cuppa to refresh our memory. We may be a nation of whiners, but wouldn’t life be a lot simpler if the economy (and certain world leaders and/or those seeking the position) didn’t give us anything to whine about?

1. It’s true, you can’t please all the people all of the time. But, is it possible to abuse the privilege?

23/6 - News: Poll: Who’s Obama gonna piss off next?
With polls showing Obama losing his “glow,” every couple of days we’re finding out about another group who is getting a little pissed off at Barack.

2. Let it never be said that GWB didn’t leave behind a well-remembered presidency (not well-thought of but, definitely well-remembered).

Alternate Brain: Legacy of a Lunatic
From the beginning, Bush surrounded himself with incompetent cronies, yes-men, and sycophants with a lust for influence, and handed out positions of power to people whose blind loyalty was the only measure of their suitability. Qualities like honesty and strength of character were never assessed, and were in fact an obvious hindrance for those who aspired to the inner circle.

3. In other words, there is no end in sight for our already overburdened troops, regardless of who’s elected.

CommonDreams.org: Obama Promises 10,000 More Troops for Afghanistan
WASHINGTON - Barack Obama yesterday pledged to increase US troops in Afghanistan by a third if he becomes president, sending 10,000 more to reinforce the 33,000 already there.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Some days (particularly Mondays) require more than one cuppa. Today is one of those days.

1. Word for the day: transparency

BlackListed News: Kucinich Demands Congress Issue Subpoenas for Continuity of Government Plans
John Conyers has been issuing subpoenas on other issues, which may be important. However, what could be more important for Congress than determining whether or not the Constitution is still the controlling document for our country? What could be more important for Congress than determining whether COG planning documents strip Congress of its power, and give sole power to the executive branch?

2. If we add another battle front (cough-Iran-cough), we will need more “waivers” to fill the ranks…

Huffington Post: Greg Mitchell: Shocker: More than 1 in 10 Army Recruits Now Given “Moral Waivers”
In 2007, almost 10,000 recruits were granted waivers for past misdemeanors. over 2100 for “serious criminal misconduct” — over four times the 2003 rate - -and almost 1500 for drug or alcohol abuse.

3. Just another example of children being trained to be good little sheeple…thankfully, the appeals court did the right thing.

Joanne Jacobs: Strip search violated girl’s rights
To learn if Savana Redding was carrying over-the-counter pain pills such as Advil or Motrin, a school nurse told her to remove her clothes, including her bra, and shake her underwear. A classmate caught with ibuprofen had named Savana as her supplier. No pills were found.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Thanks to Phil Gramm for reminding me of something I forgot, being a member of a “nation of whiners”, I tooks some time to do just that (thanks to those wonderful people who took the time to listen). Truthfully, though, I prefer to do my whining via blogging, so what better place to do that than through today’s Ten Post Round-Up (cue the “wah-mbulance”).

1. “The answer to speech you don’t like is always more speech.”

AlterNet: Why Obscenity Laws Must Be Fought
What’s defined as healthy sexuality in this country is narrowly defined and schizophrenic — and the government should not have final say.

2. Just imagine the sales in munchies, alone!

duckplops - Bottles ‘N Boo

“Relax It And Tax It

That’s the motto behind a new cannabis initiative that would allow Oregon’s state-controlled liquor stores to legally sell marijuana to adults.Initiative backers said their plan would send 90 percent of the proceeds from the state’s sale of marijuana to Oregon’s General Fund, which could lower Oregonians’ state tax burden.

3. Not. Holding. My. Breath.

The Huffington Post: Pelosi: House Judiciary Committee May Hold Impeachment Hearings
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said this morning that the House Judiciary Committee may hold hearings on an impeachment resolution offered by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio).

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Going through some life changes around here and adapting to a new schedule and still finding time to slack off for my mental health (needed some extra time, yesterday, after the FISA bill passed the Senate), so I have been shirking my Round-Up duties. But, I don’t want to get out of practice (being a slacker is a temporary occupation if I have anything to say about it), so I couldn’t help but offer up today’s Ten Post Round-Up.

1. If you think Obama’s potential First Lady has issues, you should check out the other candidate’s ol’ lady…

23/6 - News: Yoo-hoo, Fox News! We have a juicy story about a potential First Lady for you!
Brave New Films has compiled all of Fox News’ trangressions against Michelle Obama into one horrific video. And while the clips are old, the shock from their sheer volume is new.

2. Just like with drugs, keeping it illegal is not making it go away. But, it does keep people who are hurt by it from coming forward when really bad things happen.

Alternet: Jamaican Health Officials Call for the Legalization of Prostitution
As with most hidden acts, in particular those of a sexual nature, attempts to bring them to light are met with vehement opposition from moralists, who fear the impact that such exposures will have on already “decaying” societies.

3. Something that keeps Dizzy up at night with SSG Dizzy being so close to the likely aftermath of such a thing.

Bring It On!: Here’s Something to Truly Fear
What Gary North and I fear most anymore isn’t terrorists, it isn’t Peak OIl, it isn’t even my own government (though they are high up on the list), it is an Israeli attack on Iran.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

I admit it. I was playing a bit of hooky, yesterday, and I was too busy (having fun) to put up a post. But, I kinda like you guys, so I decided that it would be kinda fun to put up today’s Ten Post Round-Up.

Gasp! Shocking news: The government and the media lie to the people…again!

1. Alternate Brain: Lies, kidnapping and a mysterious laptop

I don’t pretend to understand the dynamics of inter- and intra-national South American politics, but one thing I do understand is that our government, and in particular Repuglican administrations, will lie, cheat, and kill, whatever it takes to get oil and the profit therefrom.

Hey! If it walks like a duck, why bother looking to see if it’s actually a duck?

2. BlondeSense: The secret mission to Montreal does not vindicate the bushistas

You probably read in the last few days about the secret mission to deliver uranium from Iraq to Montreal being successful. The yellowcake uranium was not weapons grade, nor could it make a dirty bomb. It will be used to make electricity in Canada. The uranium was accounted for by the IAEA and the UN before we invaded Iraq and was legally controlled, therefore this material did not vindicate the bushistas for their lies.

Oh, my! Stimulate your brain while getting it bashed in. What’s not to love?

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Hey, hey, it’s Independence Day and I just happen to be feeling a bit of that independence since this is actually the second regular work day that I have off from work. This is abnormal as I work weekends. I am at a loss for what to do with myself, so I decided to blog. It’s not fireworks, but it will have to do, folks!

Without further ado, here is today’s Ten Post Round-Up !

1. The Carpetbagger Report: Bush vows more troops for Afghanistan, but Mullen doesn’t have them

For the second consecutive month, more U.S. troops were killed in Afghanistan than in Iraq. Nearly seven years after the war in Afghanistan began, June was the deadliest month for U.S. troops, and our force levels in the country are now at their highest since the war began. All of this, tragically, comes a few years after the president assured Americans that the Taliban “no longer is in existence.”

**No end in sight in Iraq, more troops desperately needed in Afghanistan, and the administration eye-ballin’ Iran. Somebody get my jacket, it’s feeling a might drafty in here…

2. Electronic Frontier Foundation: Court Ruling Will Expose Viewing Habits of YouTube Users

The court’s order grants Viacom’s request and erroneously ignores the protections of the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), and threatens to expose deeply private information about what videos are watched by YouTube users. The VPPA passed after a newspaper disclosed Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork’s video rental records. As Congress recognized, your selection of videos to watch is deeply personal and deserves the strongest protection.

**Hey, the government’s been invading your privacy since 9/11/2001, what’s one more?

3. Friendly Atheist: I Used to be Christian Before I Kissed a Girl

Here’s the fun twist: Katy Perry used to be Katy Hudson — a Christian singer and daughter of two preachers.

And Christians aren’t too pleased with her recent transition:

**(evil grin) Now I like the song even more now…Sassy!

4. Joanne Jacobs: Rich and rejected in Manhattan

Not a single student at Dalton, an elite Manhattan private school, was accepted at Harvard this year. For $31,200 in tuition a year, parents are peeved, reports the New York Post. Marymount, a private girls school also struck out on Harvard admissions.

**What’s that sound? Oh, excuse me. It’s me playing cry me a &%$@ river on the world’s smallest violin…

5. Just a Girl in short shorts talking about whatever: Shame of the Shrinking Dollar

I don’t mean to be professorial, but for those who do not know how this works, I will give a real oversimplified explanation. When you go to a bank to buy a house, they do not actually have that $200,000 in their vault. By regulation they have to have a small percentage of it, but not the whole thing. So when they cut the borrower a check, they have effectively created or printed money. And that is the way that most money is “printed.”

Once upon a time there was a candidate who was 17 points ahead of his foe. The election, it seemed, was his.

His name was Dukakis, and he lost that election to George Bush, Sr.

Or, more accurately, he lost it to Lee Atwater, Rove’s mentor. By the time Atwater got through with him, Dukakis wasn’t even a respected politician anymore, he was a punchline.

Yes, this race is Obama’s to lose (that Republican mud has a tendency to be very sticky…)

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside, so long as you got your sunblock, along comes bad news about sunscreen. On the upside, apparently, one of summer’s favorite, fruity, treats; the watermelon, turns out it’s got some very positive qualities most people never think about. Oh, yeah…there’s some other stuff in today’s Ten Post Round-Up , but it’s not nearly as interesting…

1. Clusterf**k Nation: Not Your Grandma’s Depression

The banks have been doing their death dance for an entire year now, pretending that their problems are those of mere “liquidity” (i.e. cash-on-hand) rather than insolvency (no cash either on hand or in the vault and nothing else to sell to raise cash except worthless “creative” securities that nobody would ever buy). But the destruction of money (resulting from loans not paid back) is now so intense that the game of pretend has reached its terminal point. The question for the moment is exactly who and what will be crushed as these institutions roll over and die.

In other words, it’s just about coming on time for the rest of us to bend over and kiss our…umm…assets, good-bye.

2. Free Market News Network: Iran War Resolution May Be Passed

Introduced less than a month ago, Resolution 362, also known as the Iran War Resolution, could be passed by the House as early as next week.

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

Some days you gotta laugh and I’m sure that by the end of today’s Ten Post Round-Up, you might find a thing or two to snicker about.

1. Acerbic Politics: Cash Buy’s Friends
On top of the illegal spying, the bill also allows US Telephone companies immunity from prosecution for their part in the illegal spying, should a court case ever be brought up. And now we find out WHY the Democrats are caving in favor of the bill…

Nobody really watching what goes on in Washington is really surprised to hear that Democrats benefited ($$$) from supporting FISA.

2. The Carpetbagger: Report–Note to the religious right: auto-replace is not your friend
Auto-correct can be a very helpful feature of any word-processing program. But when conservatives use it, they run the risk of embarrassing themselves.

Ah, Fundies! They can be an endless source of amusement when they are not out there trying to take away the rights of women, gays or other minorities.

3. Common Dreams: Bottled Water Industry Faces Growing Opposition
Across the country, opposition to bottled water is building, amid growing concerns about the industry’s environmental impact and rising fears about private control of public water supplies.

Of course, it doesn’t help the everybody realizes that “bottled” water is much cheaper if you DIY and, not to mention, probably not much better/worse than the expensive pre-packaged stuff.

4. Counterpunch: Sex Workers is Different from Sex Slavery
The true needs of sex workers are subverted by asinine “studies” full of social scientist babble said Willow, citing a recent, highly publicized report which “didn’t even interview sex workers, just occasional johns called ‘hobbyists.’ Hello?”

Especially ridiculous said Willow is a $1000 “john school” where arrested clients of sex workers are remanded in California to “learn how to not buy sex.”

“I’ll teach them that for $250.”

Despite the dangers, inherent in the illegality, for some people prostitution is a choice and not a matter of force.

5. duckplops: International Monetary Fund To Audit Federal Reserve
No Fed chief in US history has been forced to submit to the kind of humiliation that Ben Bernanke is facing.

How far the mighty US of A, has fallen (as if the war in Iraq was not enough to tarnish our image).

Your Morning Cuppa Dizzy: Mmm, Drafty!

This new educational program that I got my kids started on takes up a lot more of my time than in the past (mostly because four more subjects have been added to their daily schedule) and so I try not to get myself too riled up so that I can focus when I sit down with them.

But, it’s kind of hard not to get riled up when you read some nonsense like this: McCain: World War III Would Justify Draft

John McCain said last night during a campaign tele-conference that he would bring back a military draft in the United States only in the case of a ‘World War III’ scenario.

and this: Israel Prodding U.S. To Attack Iran

CBS consultant Michael Oren says Israel doesn’t want to wait for a new administration.

“The Israelis have been assured by the Bush administration that the Bush administration will not allow Iran to nuclearize,” Oren said. “Israelis are uncertain about what would be the policies of the next administration vis-à-vis Iran.”

Here’s my thinking (please, correct me if I’m wrong), if “we” attack Iran, we will be most definitely in a WW3 scenario (if we aren’t already) and Republican presidential hopeful, John McCain, is all “okey-dokey” about starting a draft in case that nonsense happens?

The US Army already has one member of my family, SSG Dizzy, serving in perpertuity (or until the Army thinks he’s too broken–at some distant/future date, thank goodness–to serve). But, I have a child who is almost 19 years old and who has no intention of volunteering to become cannon-fodder for GWB and his war-mongering cronies, least of all, John McCain. That means, he could become a pawn in McCain’s draft. And, I gotta tell ya, I’m not feeling that nonsense. No, not one little bit!

---

For starters, the draft amounts to slavery; FORCING individuals to serve against their will. Sure, joining the military is all patriotic and stuff, but it’s only patriotic when you VOLUNTEER. That whole “doing it for your country” pretty much blows up when your country doesn’t respect your right to say NO, THANKS. Adding insult to injury, rich people will always get out of the draft, no matter what kind of laws they write to prevent that (money talks and allows bullspitters to walk: just ask GWB and his right hand, Dick). The poor will have little or no resources to get out of a draft. Some may not even understand that they could actually fight for their rights (as conscientious objectors); they may not even know what their rights are. They certainly wouldn’t be able to afford an attorney to help them out and I’m pretty sure when the “draft” hits the fan, the ACLU will have its hands full.

I won’t even go into the whole high anxiety that I am feeling with the idea that my soldier, SSG Dizzy, who will be in Iraq until long after the next president is inaugurated, will most definitely be in the eye of the storm if Israel convinces the US to do its bidding and attack Iran.

I probably shouldn’t worry though, I mean, after all, if GWB and McCain can sleep at night, I should just go shopping instead.

The following video goes triple for me (John McCain, you can’t have Christian, Liam, or Lilith!):

You Can’t Have Alex!…
