From Stuart M. Powell at the Houston Chronicle: WASHINGTON — American commandos are poised to stage “hot pursuit” raids into Pakistan’s loosely governed tribal areas to stem mounting Taliban attacks against U.S. troops in Afghanistan and to disrupt resurgent al-Qaida operatives’ efforts to map strikes against the U.S. homeland, according to three Texas congressmen briefed during a trip to the region.

Over the last few months, I've come out with a variety of indexes that focused on the potential efficiencies of electing various new senators and representatives (for instance, in terms of the largest overall right-to-left shift, here and here). Part of this is to help netroots donors have some quantitative basis for seeing how their meager dollars might be best invested. One thing that's been missing from the equation, though, is any sense of how effectively those netroots dollars will be spenClerk charged with stealing $6 million

[Old Draft] Turns out, this blend is much more flexible and much less finicky than I first thought. Just tried (June 22) a few shots on a LaPa EDL12 with pressurized portafilter. Though all my shots on this machine are severely underextracted, I get some nice high notes in the middle of the taste and a dull but clean finish. In fact, it seems to work as a canvas since adding a drop of milk in it actually featured the milk. Also, I recently did some burnt caramel and I can pick up a caramel tMadonna Confirmed To Attend A-Rod's Party
What do you do when you're in the middle of divorce rumors, and you're being accused of knocking boots with another woman's husband? Show up to his party of course! A-Rod is hosting his All Star Party at Jay-Z's 40/40 nightclub this Monday, and according to a publicist for the event, Madonna is a confirmed guest! Other confirmed attendees include Beyonce, Jason Giambi, Jorge Posada, and David Ortiz. Madonna and A-Rod have been surrounded by a firestorm of controversy over the past week, after AMicrosoft has a new approach to Vista… Putting makeup on the pig
An article on ZDnet comments about Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston yesterday. Microsoft executives explain that they will launch a 300 million dollar ad campaign to help clean Vista’s “tarnished” image. They also mentioned that many improvements have been made over the past two years (and will continue being made) to constantly improve Vista. They believe that this combined with increased customer support will result in a “worry free” vista experience. Just a thought… but iHouston Texas Rodeo Tickets
I remember when I was a small kid, my parents took me to my first rodeo. At the time I grew up in California, so I had never seen a Rodeo or knew much about it. I still remember how fun it was to watch it the first time and since then I’ve been to many other Rodeos. If you live in Texas, you know about the Houston Rodeo. It is the largest in the country and gets over 1 million visitors a year according to estimates. My family just happens to be passing through Texas this spring for a trip and Prius and hurricane evacuation
A few years ago, before we had a Prius, we evacuated Houston with a few million others as hurricane Rita approached. We drove for twelve unpleasant hours in 95 degree heat, traveling only 120 miles. We hardly used the AC for fear of overheating the car. Chances are we'll do it again someday. I wonder how well a Prius would handle a situation like that? Could I have used a Prius's AC longer under those conditions?Odor Eaters Could Save Your Life
Ever spent a long period of time with someone with stinky feet? Smells like mold and toe jam, dead cat, and sweaty, unbathed smoker vagina. It's one of the least appealing scents you could ever experience.

The Psychopathic Origins of Bush/GOP Wars, Torture, and Injustice
If Bush can immunize himself for his own crimes after he's committed them, then he can, likewise, prosecute you for breaking laws for which he has yet to issue a decree! There is a word for this: tyranny! The people of England beheaded a King for less egregious offenses. This outcome has flowed from a single spring: GOP psychopathy! Bush has effectively repealed the Bill of Rights while immunizing himself after the fact from prosecution for laws he's already broken, specifically, federal statutTexas Law Probably Does Not Require PI License To Fix Spyware-Infested Computers [Computer Repair]
Dries Janssens, a computer repair shop owner in Allen, Texas, is worried that a 2007 law passed by the state legislature requires computer repair technicians to have private investigator licenses to perform "simple computer repairs such as malware removal." We're not sure if the law was just badly written or written on purpose at the urging of the state's private investigator lobby (which Janssens suggests), but it certainly seems like a bad idea.

Hi guys, Back in the saddle again and loved my time in Key West last week! We stayed with our friends on their boat in the Conch Marina... Our pals from Ruff Riders, Juan and Val were there too on their boat, so we rented bikes and rode around during the day and ate at all the fabu restaurants around town and visited the bars on Duval Street during the evenings. Tom and I had the journey from hell... We decided to fly United and use our miles since I no longer will buy a ticket on their airliPicking ‘Over the Carcass of a Failed Marriage’
The Law Blog usually tries to shoot for the high- and middle-brows of legal news reportage. But, from time to time, we check the tabloids. And though we’ll restrain ourselves from delving into the nuances of A-Rod’s pre-nup (or Madonna’s lack of one!), or speculate on how New York Supreme Court Judge Harold Beeler might rule in the “YouTube divorce,” we’re always interested in the lawyers. So here’s a divorce round-up, through the LB lens. C-Rod v. A-Rod: On Monday, 35 year-old Cynthia Rodrig
Mucking about in the aftermath of yesterday's Little Rock City Board agenda meeting, I heard these whispers: 1) Despite strong lobbying that began this week, the movement to preserve a seat for Jane Dickey on the Central Arkansas Water Commission mustered, at best, four votes among the 11 board members. We now know that she withdrew her request for reappointment in the face of majority board opposition. Some of those in support were soft in the face of certain defeat. I'm surprised, frankly. |
