onde de souffle sorta rolls off the lips
¶ 10/29/2006 12:02:00 AM 0 commentsvia FAS:
"For that one must turn to another new dictionary prepared by theNorth
Atlantic Treaty Organization, which not only defines thousands of military terms
("blowback," "laser guided weapon,"etc.) but also provides translations into
Voltaire's language.
So, one learns, "blast wave" is 'onde de souffle.'

Atlantic Treaty Organization, 2006 (344 pages,3.5 MB)"

EFF files suit over FBI database
The FBI has failed to file required public notices nor has it responded to FOIA requests concerning this rapidly growing and ominous collection.

DeGette gives further proof of her idiocy
Apparently of the Lieberman wing in the Democratic party, she caters to administration whims.

Lieberman should not be returned to the Senate- don't give up on Lamont
This is something that has also been on my mind. Lieberman is the poster child for all that is wrong with the Democratic party.
Update: Upon consideration, the above has to be judged as poorly phrased. It is true that like Lieberman the Dem's have some identity problems but defeating Lieberman has to do with establishing an identity for the party. ¶ 10/16/2006 03:08:00 AM 0 comments

Repugs in free fall
Given the miserable showing of the Democrats over the last six years, we (here) are already getting ready to whip their ass when they get back in. We (the nation) can't afford to have them drop the ball, again.

North Korea detonates nuclear device
Caught something on bloggingheads the other day from Daniel Drezner about how South Korea hopes to eventually inherit this capability upon reunification.

Highly critical of the Russian war in Chechnya, she had previously come down with a case of food poisoning after having tea on a Russian airliner on her way to cover the Breslan story.

To a Republican we know
You kinda have this thing for organizations that protect kid diddlers; the Catholic Church and the Republican party. When a significant segment of the elected Republican leadership is involved in something like this, it kinda makes a little fib about a BJ between two consenting adults look like nothing.
Righteous, god-fearin', denial-stater that you are, some happiness may come your way because of this after all. The chatter on the 'net indicates that a great many of those, what you call, heathen Libtards may come to believe because of this scandal. It has unfolded in such a perfectly efficient, sordid glory that it could not be the work of the Democrats. And in that it is such a cosmically ironic portrayal of the hypocrisy of the party of values, it must be the work of god. ¶ 10/06/2006 11:52:00 PM 0 comments

Ford Tough (and true)
"I'm not going to take a lecture on morality from a party that took hush money from a child predator."-- Rep. Harold Ford Jr. (D-TN), quoted by ABC news, deflecting criticism that he "parties with Playboy Playmates."

It ain't paranoia anymore
And even if the Democrats win control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, it will probably take years to walk it back from where we are now.
