First lady, Google announce White House digital tours - POLITICO.com:

'via Blog this'
Interesting things we learned:

The White House has a bowling lane, a tennis court, a basketball court, a putting green, a jogging track, a swimming pool, 132 rooms, 4 dining rooms, 1 dentist office, 28 fireplaces, 12 chimneys, 3 elevators, 4 floors, and 2 basements.

Members of the first family and their guests use the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There are 16 family and guest bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, a sunny family room, a kitchen, and a dining room. Special guests stay in the Queens' Bedroom and the Lincoln Bedroom.

In 1835, Andrew Jackson received a strange gift: a huge wheel of cheddar cheese, 4 feet round and 2 feet thick, weighing 1,400 pounds. It sat in the Entrance Hall for two years while it cured. Jackson invited the public to visit and eat the cheese on Washington's Birthday, 1837. Within two hours, the cheese was gone but the smell remained.

The President's salary is $400,000.

We liked reading all about the various White House pets.

Move the Whole Damn Thing to Kansas City...

YAHTZEE !!! I fear my acrid sarcasm is lost in here ... guess I'll eventually hang it up. Jeeeez ... the US Government is based on check and balance... the legislature is a kettle of words, the Judicial is a conditional barricade to personal freedom, and the executive is a figurehead bombast ... they are supposed to check each other...

At Noah Kerwin: ... for government to remain pure, it cannot be a business... nor a livelihood... Bill and Hillary are my definition of government welfare cases to the highest degree; they've been on the government payroll and handout almost all their adult lives... Chelsea is the ultimate welfare baby going to Ivy League school? Gimme a break!

As for Comments in this thread -- What you all talk about is the 'shadow government' perceived or real, that is made up of appointed -- not elected -- officials. Every time Barry Obama appoints a new Czar ... it increases his power by one pawn forward ... unaccountability of another commissioner...

And in the original message this generalization is wrong: " Who do they think makes the call on military action? Yup, the government."

The military makes the call on military action. It is the only organization that has the training, personnel, chain of command, and guts to carry out all four phases of modern warfare. Phase four of Iraq occupation has failed because the military was replaced with civilian and ambassador groups, who fail because of lack of training, and lacking chain of command, leads to lack of coordination between agencies and forces... and heck, they succumb to lobbyists ... YIKES!

My solution? Start with the snake's Head ::
Sell Washington to Disney on a 99 year lease back, and make it into a theme park.. it is a government seat in disrepair... but preserve its historical value... the Capitol building itself is a fire hazard, and all those Top Dog Senators and Congress-people meet there gathered in the actual place, putting our national security in double jeopardy ... ask any Fire Chief....

The buildings cannot be defended because of their proximity to the east coast and ports, and nations's busiest hubs...

Then you set up a system of moving the actual meeting places and housing to different cities every six years. Why six? that's because the modern Presidency usually lasts 6 of 8 years when the Incumbent is impeached... leaving the last two years as the lamest ducks ever to lead the Free World ... why not let the Prez take the lead where the government will seat in the next 6 years... ?

Make the government move to say, St Louis for six years, then maybe Salt Lake City ... let areas in the US interior queue up for hosting Capitol City... makes the gathering place where all the legislators, plus judges and the President meet all under the same roof more defensible ... you know the next attack is going to be during the State of the Union Address ... are you all asleep?

Hey the ancient capitol of Japan was KYOTO, now it's TOKYO ... capitols don't have to stay in one place.. all those Lobbyists with face, and their brats all running around the hallways... time to flush it out.

Attrition, my fellow Americans, attrition... get used to it, if you call yourselves Americans that is. If you do business with the government, real or fantasy, you will either lose, or break even. You youngsters should learn that earlier than later.

That's my five minutes worth ... back to you Nathan ...
pd out.

The Land-for-Peace delusion never seems to die, no matter how often it is made clear that jihadists will take advantage of any concession by Israel to strengthen their position further, and that they will continue to press on until Israel as a whole is obliterated. As the Hamas Charter says, quoting Muslim Brotherhood founder Hasan Al-Banna: "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it." [ ... ]

In 1987, the Arabs living in the territories occupied by Israeli in the 6-Day war began a series of riots and violent confrontations now known as the First Intifada, a movement quite independent from PLO leadership. Soon after, Islamic militants founded the Hamas movement.

The Hamas was formed from the Mujama movement, which had been a political party with no military ambitions that was given some encouragement by Israel earlier in the decade, as a means of countering the influence of the PLO, and perhaps because the opposition of the Mujama to an international conference that would adjudicate the problem of Palestine, coincided with the policies of the Begin and Shamir governments.

Hamas name
Hamas is an acronym of Harakat al Mawqawama al Islamiyya meaning "Islamic Resistance Movement." The word Hamas also means "zeal." The H in Hamas is an Arabic 'Het and it is sounded as a pharyngeal fricative, a sound made deep in the throat like the 'Het in "Shalom 'Haver" made famous by President Bill Clinton. The "a"s in Hamas are pronounced approximately like the "a" in "cat." In Hebrew, the a's are pronounced as "ah."

Hamas capsule history
The Hamas has a 'military' wing, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, that engages in terrorist acts and a 'civilian' wing that supposedly confines itself to education and 'good works.' Hamas perpetrated numerous suicide bombings and other terrorist attacks, at first in order to sabotage the Oslo Accords and peace process, and then as part of the Second Intifada. Israel successively assassinated its leaders, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and Sheikh Ahmed Rantissi, forcing the leadership underground. However, in January of 2006, candidates representing the Hamas swept to victory in Palestinian elections, overcoming the traditional leadership of the Fateh and PLO. In June of 2006, Hamas affiliates captured an Israeli soldier by tunneling across the border between Gaza and Israel In February of 2007, Hamas, Fateh and other factions entered a unity government in a deal brokered by Saudi Arabia and Egypt. However, in practice, Hamas ruled Gaza on its own. It formed the Executive Force over the protests of the Fatah and Palestinian Authority. The Executive force was a combination internal police force, political force to be used against Hamas opponents and terrorist group. In June of 2007, Hamas ousted Fatah forces from Gaza in a bloody coup, throwing Fatah members off the roofs of buildings after shooting them in the knees. At least one Fatah member was sliced into steaks that were sent to his family. Since Gaza had been totally evacuated by Israel in the unilateral disengagement of 2005, Hamas currently (2009) rules Gaza as a de facto state government. It has used Gaza as a base for launching rocket attacks against Israel. On June 19, 2008, Israel and Hamas concluded a "lull" or Tahdiya agreement that was brokered by Egypt. Hamas, but not Israel, declared that this truce was for a period of six months. Rocket fire from Gaza was reduced but not stopped. Hamas greatly stepped up smuggling of arms through tunnels beneath the Egyptian controlled Rafah crossing. Hamas dismissed the international monitors that were to have controlled the Rafah crossing, and then declared that Gaza is "under siege." Israel retaliated for rocket fire by closing the Israeli crossings periodically. On December 18, 2008, Hamas declared that they would not renew the truce. Thereafter, Hamas and associated organizations directed a rain of rocket and mortar fire at Israeli towns and cities, reaching as far as 45 KM away with Grad rockets that had been smuggled in during the lull period. On December 26, 2008, Israel launched operation Cast Lead, attacking the Hamas in Gaza at first by air and later in a limited ground invasion. [ ... ]

Phish Helps Fight The War On Drugs
I’m sure you heard about the big Phish comeback/reunion set of three shows in Hampton, Virginia over the weekend. Seems like most thought the shows were a big success. But, not everyone. From Billboard…

Police said Monday they confiscated about $1.2 million in illegal drugs and more than $68,000 in cash from concertgoers. Authorities also arrested 194 Phish fans during the three-night celebration of the band’s return to the stage after a nearly five-year absence.

Most of the arrests were for drug possession, use and distribution, police said... [ ... ]


A) Counter sabotage tactics have grown out of this conflict in forms of:

• tightening the money supply
• creating a perception that gold over-rides paper
