Happy August! One down, four to go. I wish I had something more interesting to say, but between the heat and the just wanting to get the hell out here already, and some of the other nonsense, I’m just feeling kinda beat, so that’s all I got.
Play nice.

Apparently a cease fire doesn’t apply to dropping bombs on people..
AP reported that Israeli warplanes struck deep inside Lebanon, hitting an area 73 miles north of the Israeli border in eastern Lebanon that is a stronghold of Hezbollah guerrillas. The latest bombings came despite a 48-hour Israeli suspension of air raids
but finally the WSJ finds something it can relate to
Reuters reports: Lebanon’s stock exchange reopened after a two-week closure imposed by the war between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas. Beirut Stock Exchange Chairman Fadi Khalaf said the stock exchange had reopened, subject to special measures designed to limit price volatility resulting from panic and speculation.

G’Night, G’Day To One and To All
The clout of the online Democratic activist organization MoveOn.org, visible in the campaign of Ned Lamont to seize the Democratic nomination to the Senate for Connecticut, is provoking conflict with key members of the Democratic leadership, according to a report in today’s Wall Street Journal.
A front-page story in the Journal illustrates how MoveOn — with a budget of millions of dollars and a large membership base — has advanced itself as a player in Democratic party politics. The article makes the case that the organization’s support has been critical to the success so far of the Lamont campaign in launching an insurgency against a major Democratic senator, remarking that MoveOn’s endorsement of Lamont “injected cash and volunteers into the antiwar candidate’s crusade to unseat one of the staunchest Democratic supporters of the Iraq war.”
But other Democrats fear that MoveOn’s activities could harm the party as a whole. Party leaders fear that a leftward movement, concentrated heavily on Iraq, “would imperil moderate and conservative Democrats whose appeal in Western and Southern states is critical to winning back Congress. It could also alienate swing voters, who polls suggest are shifting back to the Democrats this year. Says moderate Louisiana Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu, who supports Mr. Lieberman, ‘I don’t think it’s a winning strategy or a smart strategy.'”

A group of national security experts formed by Democratic leadership has reported to Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) that, “there is not a single non-deployed Army Brigade Combat Team in the United States that is ready to deploy,” RAW STORY has learned.
“The bottom line,” the group concludes in a letter to Democratic leadership, “is that our Army currently has no ready, strategic reserve.”

From the WSJ
9:50 a.m.: France said French and Iranian foreign ministers met to discuss what role Iran could play in ending the fighting in Lebanon. Philippe Douste-Blazy and Manouchehr Mottaki both visited Beirut Monday and arranged a meeting to consider “to what measure Iran could contribute to a de-escalation of the conflict,” French Foreign Ministry spokesman Denis Simonneau said in Paris.

About 1 in 6 region families often can’t afford to buy food
BY PEGGY O’FARRELL | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER
More than 17 percent of families in the region said they regularly couldn’t afford to buy food last year, according to a survey from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
In Cincinnati, 22 percent of households reduced servings or skipped meals because they couldn’t afford to buy food – more than twice the rate (10.2 percent) for the region as a whole, data from the 2005 Child Well Being Survey showed. The survey region includes 22 counties in Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
Liz Carter, executive director of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Cincinnati Council, said she is saddened by the results but not surprised.
Since the beginning of the year, Carter said, the agency has seen a 30 percent increase in families seeking help at its West End food bank….

AIPAC
AIPAC is the leading player in what is sometimes referred to as “The Israel Lobby”–a coalition that includes major Jewish groups, neoconservative intellectuals and Christian Zionists. With its impressive contacts among Hill staffers, influential grassroots supporters and deep connections to wealthy donors, AIPAC is the lobby’s key emissary to Congress. But in many ways, AIPAC has become greater than just another lobby; its work has made unconditional support for Israel an accepted cost of doing business inside the halls of Congress. AIPAC’s interest, Israel’s interest and America’s interest are today perceived by most elected leaders to be one and the same. Christian conservatives increasingly aligned with AIPAC demand unwavering support for Israel from their Republican leaders. (In mid-July, 3,000-plus evangelicals came to town for the first annual “Christian United for Israel” summit.) And Democrats are equally concerned about alienating Jewish voters and Jewish donors–long a cornerstone of their party. Some in Congress are deeply uncomfortable with AIPAC’s militant worldview and heavyhanded tactics, but most dare not say so publicly.

“Honey scrolls?”
Do I think the election was stolen? No more than usual. The Democrats are getting worse at it and the Republicans better. Back in 1960 it was the other way round. The best documented stolen election in history is probably the one that put Lyndon Johnson in the US Senate. Next came the one that gave JFK the White House. So, for sure there’s vote suppression in Ohio and Florida. I don’t think it made the crucial difference.
“Stolen election” is one way to divert attention from the fact that the Democrats had a lousy candidate and gave up on most of the country, investing everything in two or three states. Small wonder they lost the popular vote, not to mention other minor details ,like the US senate.
The months will pass and then, most hideous of hideous thoughts, we’ll have to put up with three solid years of talk about Hillary Clinton. Her in the White House, Bill running the UN. There’ll be nowhere left to run.

I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
8Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
9So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.” 10I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”

I think if Ms Rhodes examines “current procedures” that she would learn that following the demise of the Soviet Union that her buddy Bill stood down most domestic air force units. Even during the cold war having airfarce fighter aircraft on alert inside the US was uncommon.
1. NORAD does not operate fighter aircraft inside the boundaries of the USA.. It’s prohibited by law to use the US military for domestic purposes.
2. NORAD only monitors for inbound aircraft and ICBMs outside of US air space.
3. Air national guard units might scramble to check out suspicious domestic air craft if they are available. You would have to call a unit commander who would have to call out his pilots, and crews to fuel the and ready the planes, providing the planes are flyable. If the guy with the unit battery in the back of his pickup truck truck has gone fishing you are SOL.
4. NORAD has no radar connectivity to the FAA radars.
There are no military radars designated to protect any domestic population areas..
5. Even in the best of situations aircraft availability is probably about 40%. Pilots and planes are assigned to each other so if the pilot is not on duty you would have to find them on the golf course first..
I doubt that any of this has changed much since 911… don’t you feel safer now..:eek::eek::rant1:

Dead people are ok if they are just hanging out & not ready to move on yet, but :evil::growl::evil: dead people can just stay the hell away from me and anyone I care about :priest::rabbi::priest::sdavid::yinyang::yinyang::pent::om::menorah::jesus::fire::gate::fist: — so there
Um, somehow I have three minutes… Yeah, I left the number at the house, so I’ll just wait here a little bit and try and call the house to see if someone can find it. Then, if no one can find it, I’ll just walk back and call you later.:doh:

The Lammas Bannock
In Scotland, the first fruits were celebrated by the making of a ‘bonnach lunastain’ or Lunasdál bannock, or cake. In later times, the bannock was dedicated to Mary, whose feastday, La Feill Moire, falls on August 15th, two days later than the date of Lammas according to the old reckoning. A beautiful ceremony, which, no doubt, had pagan origins, attended the cutting of the grain (usually oats or bere.) In the early morning, the whole family, dressed in their best, went out to the fields to gather the grain for the ‘Moilean Moire,’ the ‘fatling of Mary.’ They laid the ears on a sunny rock to dry, husked them by hand, winnowed them in a fan, ground them in a quern, kneaded them on a sheepskin, and formed them into a bannock. A fire was kindled of rowan or another sacred wood to toast the bannock, then it was divided amongst the family, who sang a beautiful paean to Mother Mary while they circled the fire in a sunwise direction.
Here is a modern recipe you can try:
Pitcaithly Bannock
8 oz flour
4 oz butter
2 oz caster sugar
1oz chopped almonds
1oz mixed candied peel
Set oven to 325F/Gas 3. Grease a baking sheet. Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the sugar and butter and rub in to form a dough. Add the almonds and mix in the peel, making sure they are evenly distributed. Form into a thick round on a lightly floured surface and prick all over with a fork. Place on the sheet and bake for about 45-60 minutes. Allow to cool and serve sliced thinly and buttered.
