So, yesterday we learned that, as long as the government keeps its illegal activities a secret from the people upon which it’s perpetrating its dastardly deeds (in this particular case, illegally spying on them), nobody can do anything about it. That’s pretty convenient. As Yakov Smirnoff used to say, “what a country!”
Oh, well, I’ve got grass to cut, laundry to do, and brew to bottle, so I guess I’d better get moving if I wanna make sure I catch Roger Waters at the Live Earth concert.
:banana: :yippee: :banana: wake up party sheeple!!!!!
It’s bound to go down the wrong way in Beijing: A U.S. health food company will label its products “China-Free” to ease concerns about contamination.
Food for Health International, based in Orem, Utah, makes whole food nutritional supplements for people and pets, and President Frank Davis said the company will begin trumpeting the fact none of its ingredients come from China.
Plans call for a “China-Free” sticker on products such as Food for Health’s “9 a Day-Plus” capsules, “Active Adults” whole food shakes and “Healthy Dog” supplements. The company also will use “China-Free” in advertisements and promotions.

sue p:
makes sense to me. especially given the salmonella contamination of the glaze — made in, where else, china — on Veggie Booty. hard to believe anything tasting so definitively healthy could be as dangerous as a raw factory-farmed chicken.
not even Pirates Booty, which tastes good enough to be unhealthful…
now that’s ironic!
Good Morning :joe:
Former Senator Fred D. Thompson, who has positioned himself as an opponent of abortion rights as he prepares to run for president, was hired as a lobbyist 16 years ago by a group on the other side of the issue, according to documents and people involved with his hiring.
snip
In the group’s board minutes of September 1991, Ms. DeSarno reported hiring Mr. Thompson to “aid us in discussions with the administration.†Ms. DeSarno, who provided the minutes, said in an interview that Mr. Thompson served as the group’s liaison to the White House.
A spokesman for Mr. Thompson said yesterday that Mr. Thompson had “no recollection of doing any work on behalf of this group.â€

Gee, Phil Collins doesn’t have any hair anymore. Not that it wasn’t already sliding off the back of his head anyway. Roger Waters is on second-to-last in NYC. I guess I’ll have to settle for that, since he changed his concert at Darien Lakes from Friday to Thursday, and I don’t have any time on the books to take Friday off. So much for the anniversary plans. A bit of a disappointment. I may never get another chance to see him, since I don’t know how many tours he has left in him. Plus, it would’ve been on Friday the 13the.
:hot: :hot: :hot: :hot: 😮 😮 😯 😯

KHOW in Denver supposedly dropped Bill O’Liely last fall but I noticed the other evening he’s back
Must have been by IDIOT MORON demand :yuck: :crap: :fustrate: :fustrate: :paranoid:
Having the misfortune to listen to the Reich wing radio in Denver this last week I can detect no change in tone over what they were spewing four years ago.. I think the IDIOT MORONS require lots of reassurance that GW hasn’t destroyed the rethug party.. at least that’s what the left wing media would have you think. :reaper: :reaper:
Hi, Tea :joe: Cheers … I hope this posts. A!I!V!

Judges OK warrantless monitoring of Web use
Federal agents do not need a search warrant to monitor a suspect’s computer use and determine the e-mail addresses and Web pages the suspect is contacting, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.
In a drug case from San Diego County, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco likened computer surveillance to the “pen register” devices that officers use to pinpoint the phone numbers a suspect dials, without listening to the phone calls themselves.
… In Friday’s ruling, the court said computer users should know that they lose privacy protections with e-mail and Web site addresses when they are communicated to the company whose equipment carries the messages.
… Expert evidence in Alba’s case showed that the Web addresses obtained by federal agents included page numbers that allowed the agents to determine what someone read online, Crowley said.

SoCal Maron Alert
July 12 (Thurs), 8:00 pm—The Sultans of Satire: Middle East Comic Relief 16
So a priest, a rabbi and an imam walk into a bar…[and???]
Seriously, though, these comedians talk about life post-9/11, the war on terror, the W. Administration, Iraq, Iran, their specific cultural identity and much more. In fact, people often wonder What’s funny about the Middle East? Believe us—plenty! Is there any hope for peace? We think so. Nothing brings people together quite like humor and satire. This 16th edition of the popular “Sultans of Satire” series features special guest Marc Maron, with the hilarious Jordanian, Mike Batayeh; Gulden the Turkish comedienne; Ara Basil—her Armenian nemesis; Noel Elgrably (“I’m an Arab, a Latino and a Jew all rolled into one cultural train wreck”); Peter the Persian, who does the best Vietnamese impersonation this side of Tehran; the megahip K-Von; and the absolutely outrageous Iranian vamp Elham Jazab.Comedians’ bios.
Yes, that’s right: this show includes Arabs, Persians, Jews, Armenians, Greeks, Turks and other loud and disorderly people from the Middle East/Mediterranean. Are we nuts? Definitely.
These irreverent comedians spoof the “clash of civilizations” between “us” and “them”, between America/the West and the Arab/Muslim East. They also have fun with culture, family and identity. They are funny people who also work steadily as dramatic/comedic actors in film, television and theatre.
Thursday, July 12, 8:0 pm, at The World Famous Laugh Factory, 8001 Sunset Blvd., Hollywood CA 90046. [Map]. General admission $20, VIP tix $30 (includes early seating).
Click here to purchase advance tickets, or call 310.657.5511.
:pup: i would get the vip tickets……
You have to be careful. I opted for VIP here at a benefit and literally sat 8 feet directly below the comedians’ feet. They can hear you breathe and you become comic fodder. The Maron part was great but very personal.
Always sit out of the :tommygun: line.
