Onslaught: an easy game to start and a difficult game to stop. It
may not be worth buying games anymore, at least until you've mastered this
one: http://onslaught.playr.co.uk/
"... I will never forgive
anyone who willfully puts the lives of America's military or
intelligence personnel or our friends abroad in danger.
And that's exactly what former Deputy Secretary of State Richard
Armitage did when he leaked Plame's identity to Novak - and what Novak
did when he published the name of a covert CIA agent.
Between Armitage's dishonorable act and Novak's dishonorable act were
a string of other dishonorable acts, including an executive order by
President Bush empowering Vice President Cheney to declassify classified
information, which Cheney did, thus allowing Libby to shop Plame's
identity around in hopes of finding a journalist willing to smear Wilson
through his wife. With Libby's information confirming Armitage's
original tip, Novak willingly blew Plame's cover.
In so doing, he didn't put Plame at personal risk, because she was
not overseas at the time. But he did irrevocably damage her mission -
and put those human "assets" at risk.
You see, al-Qaeda and its ilk rarely try to kill CIA agents - or
anyone else who can fight back. What these cowards do is kill people who
have worked with U.S. agents.
You can imagine the conversation: "Hmm, that Valerie Plame who
visited here turns out to be a CIA agent. Didn't she hang out at Hamid's
coffee shop a lot?"
Next day, Hamid's body turns up, along with the bodies of his wife
and family, all of whom were tortured to death before his eyes.
That's the way our enemies play the game. That's why we train brave
men and women like Valerie Plame so America can fight back.
The outing of Plame may have been technically legal, as the
commutation of Libby's sentence undoubtedly was. But our supreme law,
the U.S. Constitution, still defines treason as giving aid and comfort
to our enemies in time of war.
And in this aging veteran's eyes, that's exactly what Armitage,
Cheney, Libby and Novak did.
Live Earth is a 24-hour,
7-continent concert series taking place on 7/7/07 that will bring together
more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global
movement to solve the climate crisis.
Live Earth will reach this worldwide audience through an unprecedented
global media architecture covering all media platforms - TV, radio, Internet
and wireless channels.
Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by the
Alliance for Climate Protection,
The Climate Group and other international
organizations to drive individuals, corporations and governments to take
action to solve global warming. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is the
Chair of the Alliance and Partner of Live Earth.
Live Earth was founded by Kevin Wall, the Worldwide Executive Producer of
Live 8, an event that brought together one of the largest audiences in
history to combat poverty. Wall formed a partnership with Al Gore and the
Alliance for Climate Protection to ensure that Live Earth inspires
behavioral changes long after 7/7/07.
Live Earth concerts will be broadcast to a live worldwide audience by MSN at
www.LiveEarth.MSN.com.
With support from the U.S. Green Building Council, creators of the LEED
Green Building Rating System, Live Earth will implement new Green Event
Guidelines. All Live Earth venues will be designed and constructed by a team
of sustainability engineers who will address the environmental and energy
management challenges of each concert site, as well as the operations of
sponsors, partners and other Live Earth affiliates. Each venue will not only
be designed to maintain a minimum environmental impact, but will showcase
the latest state-of-the-art energy efficiency, on-site power generation, and
sustainable facilities management practices.
Live Earth is a project of the
SOS campaign , which
is using a powerful multimedia platform - films, television, radio,
Internet, books, wireless and others - to move people to combat the climate
crisis.
Playable only by members of the
Bush Crime Family.

Soap Nuts
The name sounds like a joke, but we've tried
them and they work!
Soap Nuts are the dried
fruit of the Chinese Soapberry tree. Soap nuts contain
saponin,
a natural
detergent which is used to clean clothes. Soap nuts, especially
Sapindus mukorossi, have become popular as an alternative to
manufactured, chemical detergents among those who live in an
environmentally friendly style. A few nuts can be placed in a cotton
drawstring bag in with a washload and reused several times. Soap nuts are
safe for washing silk, woolens and other delicate fabrics.
It's so nice to see a classy
lady put Coulter in her place ... and she did it with style! America
needs to talk about issues, not vile personal attacks.

How The Con Works
Atop the table on the sidewalk are three cups.
The man puts a ball under the cup labeled "Iraq".
Next to it are "Iran" and "Korea".
"The first round is free!" he says. "It'll pay for itself! Trust me!"
So you say, ok, I'll play.
He moves the cups around, back and forth.
When they stop, you pick "Iraq".
That was easy!
"Ready to play?"
So you plonk down the ante.
$100 Billion dollars.
100,000 cases of PTSD.
10,000 wounded.
1000 dead.
America's safety goes under a cup. He moves them around and around.
Pick the cup.
Wait! It's not there!
Try another cup?
"Sure, ante up again."
More dollars.
More PTSD
More wounded.
More dead.
Missed again! But now you're sure you've got it.
Ante up again.
Missed it again!
But next time, you will win for sure!
The game goes on.
It will go on as long as you care to play.
Why?
You are an honest, decent citizen.
You do not understand how cons work.
The ball is not under any of the cups.
The ball is in his hand all the time.
As long as the game continues, we keep giving him money.
Why would he want the game to stop?
