1 Police report 60 killed by bombs in western India
Associated Press
1 hour, 20 minutes ago
| NEW DELHI – A series of bombs exploded across the ancient city of Jaipur on Tuesday, killing at least 60 people and transforming busy markets, a jewelry bazaar and a Hindu temple into scenes of carnage.
All seven blasts were within the old walls of the western city known for its pink-hued palaces, and suspicion quickly fell on Islamic militant groups blamed for a string of attacks in India in recent years. Police said an eighth bomb was found and defused by police. “Obviously, it’s a terrorist” attack, said A.S. Gill, the police chief of Rajasthan, the state where Jaipur is located. “The way it has been done, the attempt was to cause the maximum damage to human life.” |

I am numb
I am numb. I have seen far too much human suffering brought on by humans after a natural disaster had uncovered their inhumanity.
I am haunted. The view from the hinterlands of Burma is biblical in its scope and complete in its destruction.
I am exhausted. I could not stay. There was too much disease (cholera and malaria) and the powers that be in my life would not let me become exposed.
I am rude. I am writing this as my lovely lady makes dinner and watches me out of the corner of her eye, worried at the darkness that has enveloped me, the depression she cannot shake me out of, despite her best efforts. She’ll succeed eventually, but, for now, she is a comfort and for that, I am grateful, though I was rude to her earlier and feel ashamed.

Iglesia………………………………………Episode 55
(Iglesia is a serialized novel, published on Tuesdays and Saturdays at midnight ET, you can read all of the episodes by clicking on the tag.)
“Now, if you would each read it again, quickly and without any assistance from me.”
When Abe read it, nothing happened but a light glimmer in the air around them. When Iglesia tried, a few rough shapes barely appeared.
“So what’s the trick, Slim?”
“In the reality you are accustomed and conditioned to inhabiting, a reality your mind is still convinced it is existing in…. physical force powered by physical energy, the electrically (for want of a better word) animated power of the body, and how it is used in reaction to other bodies, is the key to existence. Here, thought is your only weapon, and only defense….and the only energy

Huckabee’s Cross Sighted in Kentucky: Send Cash, Make the Baby-Jesus Smile
Christian America has long been cynically manipulated by politicians eager to win support and cash to fuel earthly ambitions.
Database Mining in a good suit means that most supporters will never see their candidate portrayed so transparently as the Second Coming, unless they self-identify officially as ‘church-going’ Christians.
Oregon voters are extremely unlikely to see this incarnation of the candidate for change. My own distrust of the candidate began in his equivocation on the role of religion in politics. As a person of faith who prays daily I absolutely reject any suggestion that faith has any role to play in the political process. I don’t want to know whether a candidate prays or not, what his or her sexual orientation may be, or whether they prefer to shop at Target or Saks.
Preacher Mike Huckabee is far more open about his Christian identity. Are all the highly intelligent voters who support the candidate for change and who have such contempt for folks for the clinging religious voters aware that a vote for change is a vote for Christian more of the same?
We’re approaching something close to a crisis, where folks who want experience and some level of candor liberate themselves from the pundits and party loyalty to look to the real challenges we all face.
Flying under a false flag might strike many as a sign of sound judgment and integrity.
We won’t see these depictions of Obama as Jesus in New York or Oregon.
Fair enough?

Midnight Thought on the Next American Revolution (14 May 08)
Excerpted from Burning the Midnight Oil for the Next American Revolution (14 May 08),
in the Burning the Midnight Oil blog-within-a-blog, hosted by kos,
though to the best of my knowledge he doesn’t know it.
Lets not be under any illusions about the difficulty of the coming election.
And that is: if there is any difficulty, we have made it for ourselves. We are being handed the opportunity of a generation on a silver platter. And while many of use have been distracted by the side issue of who is going to be nominated to run for the Presidency, in another week or so there will be no more excuse for getting sidetracked.
And we can turn our attention to building a House majority so large that the so-called “Blue Dogs” lose their leverage.

MBAssholianism An Example
Superclass points out the revolving door between government and the so called “private” business sector. I have watched prestigious domestic manufacturing companies of specialized scientific equipment over a span of 20 years either evaporate or “go to the dark side” as we have come to call it. This one is a product of business assholianism plain and simple.
