"two Twin Cities lawyers are behind the magazine's first-ever Blog of the Year. "

They're part of that Northern Alliance Boy's Club (No liberals allowed).

They have a radio show on THE PATRIOT. They sit around a jaw about how cutting-edge and New Media they are. They're on the Internet,doncha know.

They're pretty pleased with themselves.

The casualties are not coming in so fast that this level of humanity would be that much of a burden, would it?

But...I heard somewhere that it was another vietnam with huge casualties and such. Which is it?

Not from me.

Want to answer the question, maybe stay on topic or something, Dan?

New home for turncoat.

Zellout Miller joins Fox News. Is that a surprise, or what? ::::rolls eyes::::

I thought Bush would give him a job, but this would be the next logical move.

An activist judge strikes again! David C. Bury of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the will of the people and enjoined enforcement of Arizona's Proposition 200, which would require Arizonans to provide proof of citizenship in order to register to vote and require valid identification when applying for state benefits.

They cite an incident in May when the IRA was accused of taking staff hostage at a retail superstore, then stealing more than $7.75 million in alcohol...

Gee that's a sure way to get someone to donate more. Goad them then insult them, ingrate. Jan Egelend ought to have a nice cup of STFU.

But U.N. Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Jan Egeland suggested that the United States and other Western nations were being "stingy" with relief funds, saying there would be more available if taxes were raised.

I agree we could give more than $15 million, but who is he to tell us we should raise our taxes?

"There are several donors who are less generous than before in a growing world economy," he said, adding that politicians in the United States and Europe "believe that they are really burdening the taxpayers too much, and the taxpayers want to give less. It's not true. They want to give more."

Yes, we probably do want to give more, but we don't want the Government deciding what we should and shouldn't donate to.

They're gonna give more anyway it was the first installment. Not to mention the other millions we give to other relief organizations that will be heading over there. I think we ought to help, absolutely, no question as it's a horrid tragedy. But to insult people and entire countries  before the first check is mailed is bullshit. Someone should have walked up to this asshat and told him to open his wallet and checkbook.

Maybe Kofi's son has some money hidden. There's probably millions stuffed in someone's oil for food program slush fund. they could tap.

Don't get me wrong I think we ought to help as much as we can, I just don't like being castigated before the first check is cashed.

Man, the more I read about this tragedy, the harder it seems to grasp. What a horrible thing. Now they are talking 60,000 plus dead.

There's sadly too many of stories like that. I read one account of a local villager who saw the waves coming, he ran over and grabbed his son, he had a grip on his son but lost it and his child was swept away. He returned home to find his wife and other child gone. They were found later dead. In seconds he lost his family, home, and income, literally everything he had was gone. I can't fathom it.

On another note - it's getting hard to breathe here in the cities:

Today, an Air Pollution Health Advisory was issued for the Twin Cities metro area. This means that the AQI is expected to reach close to 100 today or tomorrow, which is rated "unhealthy" for "sensitive" groups (people with heart or lung disease, children and athletes).

Health Precautions

Postpone or reduce vigorous activity if you have heart or lung disease, including asthma. Even if you are not in the "sensitive" group, you may wish to reduce vigorous activity that leads to deep breathing.

To reduce air pollution:




  • Limit driving
  • Reduce use of small engines
  • Postpone lighting your fireplace and other fires
  • Turn off as many electric devices as possible to reduce power plant pollution.

Visit the
AQI Web site


for air quality updates by the hour.

Death toll tops 116,000

Oh boy, it just gets worse and worse.

Poor folks.

Holy shit.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 30 (Bernama) -- The death toll in Acheh, the region worst hit by last Sunday's tsunami, may exceed 400,000
as many affected areas could still not be reached for search and rescue operations, Indonesia's Ambassador to Malaysia Drs H. Rusdihardjo said Thursday.

He said the estimate was based on air surveillance by Indonesian authorities who found no signs of life in places like Meulaboh, Pulau Simeulue and Tapak Tuan while several islands off the west coast of Sumatera had "disappeared".

He said the latest death toll of more than 40,000 in Acheh and northern Sumatera did not take into account the figures from the other areas, especially in the west of the region.

"Aerial surveillance found the town of Meulaboh completely destroyed with only one buiding standing. The building, which belonged to the military, happens to be on a hill," he told reporters after receiving RM1 million in aid for Indonesia's Tsunami Disaster Relief Fund here Thursday.

Rusdihardjo said there were about 150,000 residents in Meulaboh, which was located 150km from the epicentre of the earthquake while Pulau Simeuleu had a population of 76,000.

Damn!  I remember seeing the story Christmas night when I freaked that the first count was 800 dead.  Either way, this sucks big time.

Oh, and that pix of the AOL 'Black Focus' disc wasn't posted to show the rip off that they are.  Although that's true anyway. 

I might sign up but I'm waiting for the white power version first.  ;-)

Sri Lankan wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island's coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.

"No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening," H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka's Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.

I also heard on the radio that some wackos ARE blaming Bush. Ya see, the pollution from carbons falls down into the ocean and lubricates the tectonic plates and then they move and create earthquates.
