This horrible day in NYC, and then, the world.
You know, I never wanted to look into this, but friends kept bringing it up, so I did…and it’s true that the 9-11 commission suppressed the testimony of firefighters, EMT’s, police, citizen civilians, all reporting the same thing…

I mean, Ready in Case of US Economic Instability, “instability” meaning many things… Riots, demands for energy, heat, water? Food?
I surely hope not.
Here are a few headlines:

I have written a good deal about Hiv testing and the people given the diagnosis. I have written from a critical perspective on the tests and drugs used, and have found some significant causes for concern in the field. I think what is most troubling to me is the absolutely final nature of the diagnosis itself. I find it to be terribly shocking, and I think, terribly unfair.
What I would like is to hear your stories, if you’re willing to share them, as I try to better understand the phenomenon of testing positive, and how it affects the people who are given this diagnosis.
I know it is a sensitive and trying subject. I will not permit any criticism or negative comments to be directed at people sharing their stories, whatever their beliefs about Aids or Hiv may be. Please share your story in as much, or little detail as you feel comfortable doing. You can use an alias, and please don’t give any full names of people you reference in your story - a first name and initial is fine.
But please do share how it affected you. I think this is something that people don’t understand well enough, or hear enough about. Getting this diagnosis can be shocking, devastating, and life-altering. I would like to create a better public awareness of how it affects individuals.
Some questions that I’d like to ask are,
You can post your thoughts or story below. Thank you for your time and effort.

Ahem…
I have a prepared statement.
I cannot, in good conscience, cast a vote for President of the United States in this 2008 election, and I will tell you why.
I have been assured by Right-wing radio hosts that If candidate A wins, we will be taken over by a stone-cold racist Marxist/Leninist cabal ( which will sell the country in large swaths to China and Venezuela, which will be jointly taken over by George Soros ), and, once in office, engages in terrorist activities, planting bombs in empty buildings just to violently move the public away from “an unjust war”;
Meanwhile enslaving the white race, taking all the white women for themselves, and then forcing us - white people - to work for other people at diminishing wages with limited time for cable and internet leisure-time viewing.

I present for your edification and enjoyment, two chapters from Mark Twain’s short biography of one “Will Shaksper”, or William Shakespeare, the man from Stratford. Twain, nee Clemens, had some singular and small doubts about some of the more popular claims about this great writer (for example, that he was who he was claimed to be).
But, I’ll say no more, and let the great Mississippi Riverboat Pilot speak for himself.

The Propheets - the pillars of the Cedu ‘emotional growth curriculum’; Seven overnight, all-night intensive, interpersonal, no-boundary, no-warning, no-escape adventures in 60s and 70s home-grown self-help psychodrama, distributed over a two-year period for students at the Cedu Schools.
Although Cedu California closed in 2005, the Propheets, along with much of the Cedu curriculum, have been exported to the daughter and clone schools, now in operation.
You are invited to the Propheet:

You can’t beat Gov. Sarah Palin for believing in a party line. She’s terrific, beyond all expectations, as an effective, energized, humanized version of the McCain party line.
Overheard at the podium - “I love you” - “Don’t touch me.”
On the other hand, she ” will not answer questions the way you [Senator Biden] or the moderator want me to. ” In other words, she won’t answer questions that show her frailties, or her Candidate’s hypocrisies – she’ll change the subject, and bite your heels while she’s at it.

“Out of my way, old timer.” “Who you callin’ old, youngster?”
The first debate – a solid, mostly issue-based tussle between two near-adults. Something we have not seen in presidential politics since I-don’t-know-when.

The 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team will be deployed, October 1, 2008, in anytown, U.S.A., to do the work that civil authorities are presumably unable, for some reason, to do.
Training for homeland scenarios has already begun at Fort Stewart and includes specialty tasks such as knowing how to use the “jaws of life” to extract a person from a mangled vehicle; extra medical training for a CBRNE incident; and working with U.S. Forestry Service experts on how to go in with chainsaws and cut and clear trees to clear a road or area.
Are you “unruly?” You might be, and the US Army has a “non-lethal” treatment coming your way.
The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,” 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.

Bush administration wants hundreds of billions, new powers ASAP to attack financial crisis
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Bush administration sketched out a multi-faceted effort on Friday to confront the worst U.S. financial crisis in decades, outlining a program that could cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars to buy up bad mortgages and other toxic debt that has unhinged Wall Street.
