With top Republican strategists now privately predicting substantial House losses, President Bush and top GOP officials plan to spend the final days of the 2006 campaign attempting to rally partisans and limit conservative defections with dire warnings about the consequences of a Democratic Congress.
Amid predictions that demoralized conservative voters might sit out the election, Bush and other senior Republicans will escalate charges that Democrats will raise taxes, weaken national security and liberalize social policies. Bush struck those themes in campaign appearances yesterday in Pennsylvania and Virginia, and White House senior adviser Karl Rove said he “will consistently refresh that message” between now and Election Day.
Beyond the White House, however, there is increasing anxiety among Republicans about whether new efforts to frame the party’s message can be effective in turning a tide that seems to be running powerfully against them as a result of the Iraq war and the Mark Foley page scandal.
(snip)
The mood among most GOP strategists — with the exception of Rove and a few others — is decidedly downbeat heading into the final 18 days. They see poll after poll showing a growing number of GOP House incumbents in serious danger, including many who just weeks ago were considered relatively safe for reelection. The list of most-imperiled incumbents now includes Reps. Heather A. Wilson (N.M.) and Curt Weldon (Pa.), a top GOP strategist said.

NYT/AP: Russia Suspends Nearly 100 Foreign Organizations
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: October 19, 2006
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia brushed aside U.S. objections Thursday and forced nearly 100 foreign non-governmental organizations, including leading human rights groups, to suspend operations for missing a deadline for re-registration under a tough, new law.
Those who had to stop work included Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, which have been persistent critics of President Vladimir Putin, and some accused the authorities of deliberately keeping them in legal limbo.
Kim Reed, an NGO lawyer who is advising several foreign groups, told The Associated Press that the Federal Registration Service was creating constant delays by insisting on minor changes to documents that the head offices had to prepare from scratch.
”It appears that if you are an organization involved in human rights or democracy activities, then your application gets much harsher scrutiny. Even if you are not sending police and court bailiffs to shut down their office, by not registering them, you are effectively doing that,” she said.
Alexander Petrov, deputy head of the Moscow office of U.S.-based Human Rights Watch, said the group had to stop its research work Thursday, including interviewing rights victims, as well as participation in public events….

WASHINGTON (AP) — This year’s Antarctic ozone hole is the biggest ever, government scientists said Thursday.
The so-called hole is a region where there is severe depletion of the layer of ozone — a form of oxygen — in the upper atmosphere that protects life on Earth by blocking the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
Scientists say human-produced gases such as bromine and chlorine damage the layer, causing the hole. That’s why many compounds such as spray-can propellants have been banned in recent years

FBI joins investigation in guv race
Beauprez, staff expect to be queried on database access
October 19, 2006
A criminal investigation that now involves the FBI sent shock waves through the race for Colorado governor Wednesday.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation announced that it had determined that someone accessed information in an FBI database on Carlos Estrada Medina, who has been the star of a TV attack ad against Democrat Bill Ritter.
That ad was sponsored by Republican Congressman Bob Beauprez, and he and his campaign staff will now be interviewed by FBI agents.

NEW YORK — Faced with slow ad sales and growing competition from digital and cable media, NBC Universal plans to slash expenses by $750 million and cut 700 jobs, about 5% of its workforce.
Executives said Thursday that their NBCU 2.0 initiative will help the TV and movie giant with its transition from traditional analog media to digital, including ventures on the Internet and cellphones.
“It’s a tricky business,” says NBC Universal CEO Bob Wright. “We’re trying to make sure that we don’t wake up and feel that we should have acted earlier. This is our planning.”
For now, the changes will pinch hardest in the company’s vast news operations, which include NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC and the 26 company-owned stations.
In addition to layoffs, MSNBC is vacating its headquarters in Secaucus, N.J., for existing facilities in Manhattan and Englewood Cliffs, N.J.

Nicki nominated me to do Saint of the Day today, I have to get cracking…
Saint of the Day – Oct. 20th
Saint Paul of the Cross
He was nineteen. His father wanted him to become a capitalist like himself. His priest-uncle advised him to become a priest. A young lady from one of the conservative families hoped to to be his wife.
But Paul Francis Daneo, born on January 3, 1694, in Ovada, Italy, had a different vision for his life. During his teens years he felt inwardly inspired and captivated by the show Morning Sedition. Paul discerned Marc and Mark’s love for all people in the passion of Liberal Confession, Sammy the Stem Cell, and similar routines. Realizing all that the Marc(k)s had suffered in love for us, Paul wanted to them in return through prayer and preaching.
This vision was hindered because Paul was the eldest son of a large family and, therefore, obligated to remain home and assist his father in supporting his younger brothers and sisters.
When Paul was 21 years old, he joined a crusade against the Young Turks, thinking this was the way Gods wanted him to serve. But after experiencing the violence and ruthlessness of AA’s getting rid of shows and throwing hosts on the street , Paul abandoned this way. He had an inner conviction that God would fulfill the vision by a crusade of a much different nature.
Returning to his hometown, Paul helped his family and dedicated himself to prayer, penance, and the midterm election. In 1720 he talked with NovaM radio, asking to be allowed to serve as a “holy man and comedian.” The bishop allowed Paul live in one of the town’s churches. Paul, wearing a long black robe as a sign of his commitment, took care of the church property and prepared the altar before the daily celebration of the Funny. He was invited to teach His religion to the children. Adults, recognizing in Paul the qualities of wisdom and holiness, came to him for advice. At times he was given permission to preach.
During this period Paul kept a diary and wrote a Rule, which contained his vision of how he would live his life. The Rule contained directives about prayer, fasting, exercise, spiritual disciplines, penances, charity, and how to sound loving yet firm when Republican callers get really nasty
Paul felt were important in living out a dedicated life. In 1721 Paul tried to increase his paycheck at the Vatican in Rome for the Pope’s approval. The network, thinking him a beggar, turned him away. Paul, severely disappointed, rededicated himself to the vision God had given him and created his own church, off the radio airwaves. Returning to north of Rome, Paul invited others to join him. Paul did not receive definitive approval for the Rule until 1769
The men who followed Paul would become known as Passionists Ex Maronites because of their dedication to and preaching of the passion of Marc and Mark.
Paul, now living in Portland, OR was ordained a priest in 1734. After a brief time , Paul channeled his time and energy into standing by Shemanski Fountain preaching or playing videos in Movie Madness for the masses.

Boston Herald: Jimmy Tingle hosts Marc Maron tonight and tomorrow at Tingle’s theater in Somerville’s Davis Square ($25; 866-811-4111).
It’s a homecoming of sorts. ”I used to live in an attic that was painted blue on Cottage Avenue, with eight other college loafers and musicians and freaks of one kind or another,” Maron said.
The former Air America radio host hopes for a good turnout.
”I’d like to get some of the more rock ’n’ roll kids, the emo types. I’d like to get the low-fi intelligentsia out,” he said. ”I don’t think those guys give me a fair shake.”

BUSH COUSIN MOWS DOWN CONN. COP
AP
October 20, 2006 — NEW HAVEN, Conn. – A city police officer was fighting for his life yesterday after being hit by a sport utility vehicle driven by a federal judge who is a cousin of former President Bush, New Haven police said.
Officer Dan Picagli, a 17-year veteran of the force, was hit while working an extra-duty job directing traffic in the rain Tuesday night.
City officials identified the driver of the SUV that hit Picagli as John Walker Jr., a senior judge on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, who lives in Connecticut and maintains court chambers in New Haven.
Walker was appointed to the federal bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1985. He was appointed to the 2nd Circuit in 1989 by his cousin, President George H.W. Bush.

I had a great ride up on the amtrack next to a great old guy Arthur, who is a total liberal, retired lawyer, and volunteer at NYU Medical center, as if I ever need to hear about that place again!!
But he is not in intensive care, …and I was bale to tell him all of my complaints about the hospital.
I talked to him the whole way….didnt even listen to podcasts or read magazines…..
Boston is beautiful….and Im on a fluffy bed looking at the harbor….
hey melina! still working at the office!

will call soon when i know about dinner plans
OK….I just sent you an IM…..
This place is great!!
Im worried about Kat and Mr. Last we heard they were in LA…then nothing!!
I dont think that Mr’s job is on the line because they hardly have anyone to do war reporting, especially in Iraq!
And Keith could be fired, but would easily pop back up on any number of networks which would then have a huge surge in ratings.
I am reading about the food here…which has the great option of being brought to this fluffy bed…..but seems quite expensive….
Take pictures and post ’em, Melina!
they add lots of extra cost to room service too taxes fees for delivery go get your own food and bring it back! or order pizza:pup:
okay…well, anyone know anything about kayaks? I think I’m going to get one pretty soon, maybe. Hopefully I’ll become addicted to doing something somewhat healthy like kayaking

Go with the salmon with some red wine- ribs are too much work to keep the juice from dripping on your attire

The best person to give you advice is Kat….but she is missing….
Let me know if you need her direct email address. She is a big time Kayaker!
I want one too….but its pretty rought in the LI sound. I would have to take the safety course.
I went out with an instructer and guide and you can just head right out there off of the tip of Stamford…and there are all cool little islands full of old delapidated buildings and little crabs scurrying about.
Yes…I always get the fish…especially since we are in fish country. scrod or haddock as fish of the day up here is always good

Im going to startt giving them more time this week…make calls whatever…
Ive been doign signs. They just dont have the right organization going forward…its sorta falling apart somehow.
I was actually in that poll…they called me. The girl said that everyone seems to hate Joe.
It wont be the worst seat to lose because if Joe doesnt vote with the Dems he is going ot have alot of people really angry at him and his career will really be over in politics…..but I hate him so much and I really like Ned.
:tongue:melina tell marc im not crazy!
The polls in Colorado that were favoring the dem candidates last week seem to be switching around to favor the thugs this week. I think the polling companies and the thugbot dominated county election fixing .. err. planning departments are just colluding to get the voter prepared for the predetermined results. :gate::omg::tommygun:

WASHINGTON, DC, October 19, 2006 (ENS) – Bees, bats and other vital pollinators are declining across North America, placing crops and other plants at risk, according to a new report by the National Research Council. The report finds that shortages of pollinators already exist and warns that continued decreases in wild populations could disrupt ecosystems and agricultural production.
“Despite its apparent lack of marquee appeal, a decline in pollinator populations is one form of global change that actually has credible potential to alter the shape and structure of terrestrial ecosystems,” said committee chair May Berenbaum an entomologist at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
Pollinators are vital to the environment as they spread pollen, enabling plant fertilization to occur. Three-quarters of all flowering plants – including most food crops and some that provide fiber, drugs, and fuel – rely on pollinators for fertilization.
The committee cautioned that there is little or no population data for many North American pollinators and urged increased monitoring efforts.

Prank lands girls in cuffs, custody
3 high schoolers weren’t charged
Three high school cheerleaders preparing for a football game last Friday were handcuffed and hauled away to jail by Air Force Academy security for pulling a prank. The Air Force Academy’s 10th Security Forces Squadron made the arrests as scores of classmates and parents arrived for the Friday-night game at Air Academy High School against Wasson High School, responding with four squad cars.
At the jail, the girls were told to remove their shoelaces and got patted down by a female officer, said academy spokesman Meade Warthen, both standard procedures. The girls, who were released to parents, were not charged or cited. The names of the girls were not released.
Officials at Air Academy, the school the girls attend, characterized the response as an “overreaction,” said Academy School District 20 spokeswoman Nanette Anderson. School officials asked security officers to allow the district to decide how to discipline the girls and to not detain them, but the request was denied by the flight chief on duty.
In response to a parent’s concerns, the AFA has asked Peterson Air Force Base to review its handling of the incident.
Before the game, the girls used paper to cover the first five letters of a sign at Douglass Valley Elementary School, also in D-20, so that it read “ass Valley Elementary School.” They also took some traffic cones from the school parking lot.
A witness reported the incident to the AFA. Both Douglass Valley and Air Academy are located on AFA grounds and fall under military jurisdiction. Although students receive IDs allowing them to attend school on base, Warthen said they are not allowed to roam the base freely.
“They were in an area that they weren’t supposed be,” he said.
The girls were in their uniforms when they were arrested in the parking lot as people arriving for the game made their way to the field.
When military security arrived, the girls told an athletic director that they had done something earlier that day and the officers might be there for them, Anderson said. The director urged the students to tell the officers what they did.
Warthen said the four cars did not arrive at once and were not called as a show of force. Two cars first arrived on scene. A third car was called because of safety concerns with the crowd. A fourth car brought a female officer who was called in because the suspects were girls.
School administrators witnessed officers placing their hands on their guns during the arrest, Anderson said. Warthen said that officers often use their guns as a place to rest their hands, and that they habitually keep their hands on their guns as a precaution.
The school district disciplined the girls as it would for most pranks or vandalism, Anderson said. She declined to say what actions D-20 took, but the girls were not expelled.
Friday’s arrests are not the first time a prank or vandalism has been investigated by AFA Security Forces at the high school. In January 2005, 1,504 students were asked by criminal investigators for handwriting samples to compare them to threatening graffiti found at the school in December. No arrests have been made in that incident.

Hehe…”Ass Valley” Wow that brings back high school memories… I guess because they attend a high school that is on military property they’d be more subject to this kind of thing than your average high school…still, severe overreaction and lack of sense of humor…
Right after 911 you had to have “papers” to get onto the AirFarce Academy grounds. They closed the visitors center and no tourists were allowed . The air police were fondly referred to as the Gestapo :reaper::reaper:

Ahmadinejad Says He Will Take ‘Decisive Step’ Against Israel
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has promised “a decisive step for the liberation of occupied Jerusalem” in a speech Wednesday in Islamshah, a suburb southwest of Iran’s capital Tehran.
Addressing a gathering at the Persian Gulf Stadium, Ahmadinejad said Israel’s existence was “the mother of all problems in the world.”
“The existence of this regime is an offence against humanity given that world powers imposed a fake state on six billion people only to safeguard their own interests,” he also said.

A Nobel Peace Prize for Neoliberalism?
The Myth of Microloans
By ALEXANDER COCKBURN
The committee that gave Henry Kissinger the Nobel peace prize has given it this year to Mohammed Younus, the economist who put the word “microloan” on the map with the Grameen Bank in his native land of
Bangladesh. That’s progress of a sort. But in terms of hot air, any sentences linking “peace” with “Henry Kissinger” aren’t immeasurably more vacuous than the notion that microloans can help–to use the language of the Nobel Committee’s citation “large population groups find ways in which to break out of poverty.”
http://www.counterpunch.org
Henry Kissinger, hmmm… that’s scary…
I’m still not seeing how microloans…well, never mind. I’m not an economist. I’m sure it will yet bring the world together
hmm, who am I listening to on Air America…???
Bush: I won’t change strategy in Iraq
WASHINGTON – President Bush conceded Friday that “right now it’s tough” for American forces in Iraq, but the White House said he would not change U.S. strategy in the face of pre-election polls that show voters are upset.
With Republicans anxious about the potential loss of Congress — and with conditions seemingly deteriorating in Iraq — Bush addressed the question of whether he would alter his policies.
“We are constantly adjusting our tactics so that we achieve the objective, and right now it’s tough, it’s tough,” Bush said in an Associated Press interview.

My analysis? Bush cannot admit he made a mistake. The buck stops not on his desk! You’re an asshole George Bush and the sooner you and your criminal party are eliminated from the scene the better. Furthermore, I hate . . . (cnick is disappeared)
I escaped. Good thing I bought that gun yesterday. I’d advise everyone here to arm themselves. You never know who might be lurking around the next corner ready to snatch you up and cart you off to a secret prison camp in God only knows what country. These thugs will do anything to hold onto power! :shock::paranoid: Goddamnit! It’s time to get mad. Go to your windows, open em and scream: “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not gonna take this anymore!”:rant1: I don’t know what to do about Iraq. Bush has made such a mess of things. I wonder if some in the military might be trying to send us subtle messages – warning us that Bush is a madman! So I’d tell them to turn their guns on Bush! Bang, bang you bastard! You’re dead! Bush: “They got me!” cnick: “Good riddance you son-of-a bitch!” And the world lived happily everafter. A rainbow could be seen in the west. Peace had returned to the lands. I could hear Louie Armstrong (in the distance) singing “What a wonderful world.” And the birds singing. Bells ringing. Liberation! The moral of this story? Don’t fuck with freedom! It’s bigger than one crazy man living in a big White house.
Hey everyone! Great show…one of the best Ive seen because it was very long and very personal…close to the the radio show if Riley wasnt around….though probably less politics and more of the wondering about the human nature that leads to this sort of insanity. I love it when he gets like that. It was hilarious and exhausting! I laughed so hard I thought I would pass out!
The last thing Marc thought about Mr and Kit was that he had a month off and they were goig on vacation….but its not like her not to find some internet connectivity and to stay away for an entire month during school time with the teen at home….
Anyway, we got to talk alot…and he seems to be considering different stuff…the Nova deal isnt formed at all yet so there isnt much to say about it for those of us who need out concrete funny.
Im exhausted….more tomorrow..
This place is so quiet and comfortable….just heavenly.
I wish it had one of those big whirlpool baths, but it seems to have one in the gym…not what I had in mind exactly.

Why Air America Matters
by Thom Hartmann
There are times when doing the profitable thing is also doing the right thing.
That’s certainly what Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch thought when they lost an average of $90 million a year for about five years before the Fox News Channel became profitable. It’s what Reverend Moon believes, as his Washington Times newspaper lost hundreds of millions of dollars and, according to some reports, even today continues to lose money. And its what the people who have made Air America Radio possible – names you probably wouldn’t recognize because they’ve invested millions of their own money but don’t seek the limelight – believe.
Each of these endeavors hit nail-biting times.
In Murdoch’s early days building News Corp. (which then helped fund Fox News), as The Hollywood Reporter noted in a 2005 article:
“[C]orporate expansion and the stock market crash of 1987 conspired to create a financial crisis for Murdoch in 1990, when News Corp. reported revenue of $6.7 billion and saw more than $7 billion in debt come due. With News Corp. shares plummeting from $24 to $8 as a result of the Black Monday crash and Murdoch’s buying sprees continuing unabated, creditors became nervous. A refinancing plan was put in place, but at the last minute, one small bank in Pittsburgh refused to go along with the scheme, demanding repayment of a $10 million loan.
“That $10 million loan nearly caused the entire collapse of News Corp.: An extraordinary race against time ensued in which Murdoch and his financial advisers struggled to convince the company’s 100-plus creditors to agree to a deal by which they would all be paid at the same time. Only at the eleventh hour did the Pittsburgh bank capitulate, to Murdoch’s great relief.
“The mogul managed to get through the ordeal without parting with substantial blocks of stock, which likely would have forced him to lose control of the company he created (a fate that befell his rival, Turner). At one point, though, Murdoch reportedly did have to sign over as security personal assets, including his New York penthouse.”
There was, however, a happy ending (for Murdoch), which helped fund the money-losing Fox News Network:
“Today, the studio and the Fox owned-and-operated stations are News Corp.’s cash machines.”
Brit Hume noted, in a 1999 interview with PBS:
“This operation loses money. It doesn’t lose nearly as much as it did at first, and it’s — well, it’s hit all its projections in terms of, you know, turning a profit, but it’s – it will lose money now, and we expect for a couple more years. I think it’s losing about $80 million to $90 million a year.”
This is not, of course, to celebrate losing money. It’s just a demonstration of the old truism that sometimes “it takes money to make money.” And sometimes it takes money to make a difference in the world, as well.
While Fox News and The Washington Times have devoted themselves to promoting the interests of America’s most wealthy, most of the programming of Air America Radio has been committed to discussions of labor, the middle class, and holding up the founding ideals of this nation. These were best expressed by America’s first liberal president, George Washington, when he said: “As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.”
Liberal or conservative, the nation has often moved as its media has moved.
Rupert Murdoch’s investment in Fox News not only produced profits for him, it changed America. As Richard Morin noted in The Washington Post on May 4, 2006, in an article titled “The Fox News Effect”:
“‘Fox News convinced 3 to 8 percent of its audience to shift its voting behavior towards the Republican Party, a sizable media persuasion effect,’ said Stefano DellaVigna of the University of California at Berkely and Ethan Kaplan of Stockholm University.
“In Florida alone, they estimate, the Fox effect may have produced more than 10,000 additional votes for Bush — clearly a decisive factor in a state he carried by fewer than 600 votes.”
Similarly, Air America Radio may have had a significant effect in awakening people across the United States to positive liberal alternatives to the conservative vision of Fox and Bush. In a democracy, which depends on a vital and ongoing exchange of free ideas for its survival, this is essential.
It’s a tragedy that for the lack of an investor the size of Rupert Murdoch Air America is in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. But its existence and ongoing presence in the marketplace is an essential part of the dialogue that is known as democracy.
In a letter about Shay’s Rebellion, which some argued was incited by newspapers, Thomas Jefferson wrote:
“The people are the only censors of their governors; and even their errors will tend to keep them to the true principles of their institution. To punish these errors too severely would be to suppress the only safeguard of the public liberty. The way to prevent these irregular interpositions of the people is to give them full information of their affairs, through the channel of public papers, and to contrive that those papers should penetrate the whole mass of the people.
“The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide, whether we should have a government without newspapers, ore newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers, and be capable of reading them.”
Had radio existed in 1783, Jefferson would have probably expressed similar sentiments about it.
As Jefferson wrote in 1786 to his close friend Dr. James Currie, “Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.”
But ever since Ronald Reagan stopped enforcing the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1881, leading to an explosion of acquisitions and mergers, and Bill Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996, leading to an even more startling concentration of media in a very few hands, freedom of the press in America has become as much a economic as a political issue. This is problematic, because no democracy can survive with only one voice in the media.
Back in the years when I often visited Russia, the well-work joke that everybody knew had to do with the names of the two biggest newspapers, Pravda and Ivestia. “Pravda” is a Russian word that translates as “truth” and “Ivestia” means “news.” The joke every Russian can recite from memory is: “There?s no news in Pravda, and no truth in Izvestia.”
As Russians well learned, single-party-news is corrosive to democracy. Jefferson made his comment about newspapers being vital to America just at the time he was being most viciously attacked in the newspapers. The core requisite of democracy is debate. When there’s only a single predominant voice in the media, American democracy itself is at greatest risk.
Losing the voices of Air America would harm this nation, just as much as would losing the voices of conservative talk radio.
We need them all to really be America.

I just ordered William Toll’s book on the immigrant community of South Portland. I had a copy, but loaned it to Marcia Moskowitz.
Marcia, if you hear me…if you’re done with it now…
I was just dropping names. Marcia came to Portland in the early 1970s, as part of the Neil Goldschmidt team. She used to work for our union in the 1990s. A real activist. Originally from Chicago.
I still have to get that other book by William Toll…

White Castles is on sale at Pathmark, $8.99 a box….
Believe me, I was shocked when I found that out about her. One would have never guessed such a thing. That paper does do a lot of violating people’s privacy, though. I think I told you about it before.
WW :fu:!
it’s never fun finding out stuff like that…
Hey KK :om::jesus:
What comes in the White Castle box?
it says count of 16 burgers
More to the point, why does that fucking drag up people’s past like a scandal sheet? She is not the same person now. She did her time, then went back to work. They have done that to a couple more people I know. And with much less justification. Does the Village Voice do the gossip thing, too?
I think all newspapers do it to some degree. I think the Voice just writes about different people
supposedly it’s what people want to read. Personally I feel like I’m peeking in a door I’m not supposed to and I feel bad when I read such things.
Hey Susan, I’m over on Saturday’s blog. :tongue:
