VERY important news.
This just in from CNN: Giuliani is a flip-flopper. One may only assume that he will now lose the Presidency end up in the NFL.
Also fresh from the wire: Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have created low-density aerogels made from carbon nanotubes, CNTs, that are capable of supporting 8,000 times their own weight. The new material also combines the strength and ultra-light, heat-insulating properties of aerogels with the electrical conductivity of nanotubes. The researchers hope that this advance will one day help prove, once and for all, that LOLcats are hilarious.Labels: lolcats, politics, sports

This Ain't No Glass Ceiling...
Other than open-air drug dealing/use, public urination/defecation, the biggest complaint most people in SF would probably have regarding "antisocial" behaviors would the overabundance of car break-ins. Perhaps once a day I see a window of a parked car shattered, and several times a day you'll see a pile of glass where it has recently occurred. We've learned that if you leave ANYthing visible in a car, it will probably get broken into.
The smash-and-grab syndrome has gotten so bad, Dudley said, that people are leaving their cars unlocked with cards on the dashboard that read, "Nothing to steal.'' Source.
Until now, nothing much has been done. The DA says that it is impossible to charge these people, as they are hardly ever caught, and even if they are then the thief will claim that they "found" the stolen goods. But I wonder if this may change--for once, the government got stung by this crime (in quite a ballsy heist).
In San Francisco, even the state's top lawman is not immune to getting his car broken into - even when it's parked next to City Hall.
Just ask Attorney General Jerry Brown, who had his official state car broken into while it was left briefly in front of the State Building at Civic Center.
"Right across from City Hall, in plain view of the mayor's office," Brown said. "He could have seen it from his office window."
Brown said he and his driver hadn't been in the building more than 10 minutes when they came back to find someone had smashed the passenger-side window of his 6-year-old Lincoln Town Car.
...
According to police statistics, so far this year, thieves have broken into cars in San Francisco an average of 32 times a day. "That's unacceptable," said mayoral spokesman Nathan Ballard, "but it does show a 28 percent drop from last year," when cars were being busted into 43 times a day.
As for former Oakland Mayor Brown, he's seen enough: "I'm going back to Oakland. I've never had my car broken into there."
I hope something gets done, but I'm not holding my breath.

Yee...C'mon...Check.
Wow.
The music blog Nailler9 alerted me to a hot new video that comes out of Hungary. In particular, a rap video.
The guy goes by the name "Speak," and he has a rather-empty website. But don't let that stop you from enjoying THIS MASTERPIECE.
It is probably the best music video I’ve ever seen (this week). Here’s why:
1. Speak’s strange rapping style.
2. The opening monologue which is a shoutout to Biggie, Snoop, Dre, Tupac (his favourite) and the victims of 9-11.
3. The bling car shot.
4. “Yee C’mon”.
5. The four warbling singers and those lyrics.
6. The “Business” bit.
7. This is supposedly no pisstake.
8. THE LYRICS DUDE!
9. The Chris de Burgh lookalike reaching for those high notes.
10. The pigeon!
I'm sure when you're done watching the video you'll want to print off the lyrics for yourself.Labels: awesomeness, Err, music, politics

Aloha
While they may be excellent candidates to be featured on another website, the band My Morning Jacket has a great live performance up at the PBS site for Austin City Limits. I know that C & JP watch this program religiously, but anybody else out there with even half an interest in music should tune in. In upcoming months the show will air a "Best Of" series of episodes featuring great live performances by bands such as Franz Ferdinand (this one was really good, although the other band featured, What Made Milwaukee Famous, was quite flat), Modest Mouse, (Robert Pollard in the now defunct) Guided by Voices, the Polyphonic Spree, Ozomatli, Sufjan Stevens and Calexico (one of my recent favorites).
Unfortunately, I was unable to see MMJ -- who have over the past year or two become one of my favorite bands on the planet. Instead, while the Death Cab / MMJ show aired on Friday, I was inside the second Sundance Cinema to open in the United States. Apparently the Sundance people purchased an older SF theater and are in the process of renovating it to bring it up to their "standards." Luckily for us, there weren't any $3 surcharges, although the new building in Madison is a glorious gem compared to the current state of the cinema in SF. Notably lacking from the SF version (so far) were the comfy chairs, cafe, advance ticketing, hip restaurant, bar and swanky decor that exist at Hilldale. Instead, they had a mostly hollow building with a small restaurant next door (which was pretty tasty, I have to admit). However, the movie was great and I encourage everyone to see SiCKO or at least rent it when it comes out.Labels: movies, music, no turtles, politics

Wonderful. Or not.
It's frequently good to be given national attention, but not in this way.
University of Wisconsin-Madison has long been an attractive target for elite schools like Harvard and Stanford looking for top academics. But now other public universities are among the faculty poachers, and school administrators are worried.
Dozens of professors have left in the past two years, and Chancellor John Wiley said a growing number are going to schools that traditionally could not compete with the state's flagship university. More than 115 professors reported receiving outside offers last year, the most in 20 years and more than double the number from five years ago.
The article points the blame at "Doyle and the Legislature" for failing to get enough funding the the UW. I primarily blame the (cough Republican cough) legislature, which has been screwing things up for years (check out the 2005 date on this story).
The 17-16 vote by the Republican-controlled Senate early July 1 drew immediate criticism from UW officials. The state Assembly accepted the Senate's version of the budget on a 52-43 vote on July 5.
...
UW System President Kevin Reilly says he was "deeply disappointed" that the Senate did not restore $13 million in student financial aid, $11 million in funds for new faculty or any of the $25 million in cuts taken from campus budgets beyond Doyle's proposal.
...
"This comes at a time when the pay plan for highly sought after faculty and staff is significantly behind our peers, and proposal call for a pay plan increase of just 2 percent, after two years of zero and 1 percent, respectively," Reilly says. "The action would effectively mean just a half percent increase in compensation. This is no way to encourage our prized and committed staff to stay and continue to make their contributions in Wisconsin."Labels: badger, Madison, politics

"People like that should be out on the street shouting and hollering with a cardboard sign selling pencils from a cup."
Christopher Hitchens on The Death of Jerry Falwell. I take it that Mr. Hitchens isn't so much a fan of the late Falwell. His rants go a bit beyond what I've included as the headline of this post, by the way, so give it a watch if you have a few spare minutes.
In case you aren't familiar with Hitchens, he's a writer that defies categorization as he is pro-Iraq War, anti-theistic, a former writer for The Nation, and "slightly" pro-George Bush. Here's a snippet from his wiki-entry:
Christopher Eric Hitchens (born April 13, 1949, in Portsmouth, England) is an Anglo-American author, journalist and literary critic. Currently living in Washington, D.C., he has been a columnist at Vanity Fair, The Nation, Slate and Free Inquiry; additionally, he is an occasional contributor to other publications and has appeared regularly in the Wall Street Journal. His brother is British journalist Peter Hitchens.
Hitchens is known for his iconoclasm, anti-clericalism, atheism, antitheism, anti-fascism and anti-monarchism. He is also noted for his acerbic wit and his noisy departure from the Anglo-American political left. He was formerly a Trotskyist and a fixture in the left wing publications of Britain and America. But a series of disagreements beginning in the early 1990s led to his resignation from The Nation shortly after the September 11, 2001, attacks. He is also known for his ardent admiration of George Orwell and Thomas Jefferson, and his iconoclastic criticism of Mother Teresa.
Belated thanks to Brad for this link...
UPDATE: You can also watch Hitchens be obnoxious to the left and flip off Bill Maher's audience. My guess is that he doesn't have friends on either end of the spectrum.

Jerry Falwell
I was surprised by the death of Jerry Falwell today. I am having a hard time knowing what to think of this situation, but I know there are a lot of strong opions out there. I was reading the comments section about the story on ThinkProgress.org, and I have to say, I was disheartened to see the joy and gloating that some people had from another person's death. I have never been able to get my head around the idea of being pleased that someone died, and it reminded me of another situation in which I had similar feeling; when I read that Saddam Hussein had been killed. Obviously that was a more major event in world history, but I similary had the feeling that there was probably a little less hatred in the world after his passing. I could not, however, feel good about his death. Instead, I wish comfort to his family and friends, and the mercy of God on his soul.
Disagree? Have your own strong opinions? Let me know in the comments. How does anyone else feel?Labels: death, jerry falwell, politics

The Good Ole Days.
Whatever happened to the good 'ole Libertarian-thinking conservatives? I know a few of them, but they appear to have ceded power to the neo-cons and the religious right. There's an interesting quote in today's Capital Times illustrating this difference in values.
Former state legislator David Clarenbach says he can quote almost verbatim the words spoken by Lee Dreyfus when the Republican governor signed the nation's first civil rights law for gay men and lesbians.
"It is a fundamental tenet of the Republican Party that government ought not intrude in the private lives of individuals where no state purpose is served, and there is nothing more private or intimate than who you live with and who you love," Clarenbach recalls in a phone interview from his home in Washington, D.C.
How many modern-day Republicans would sign such a bill or make that kind of public statement? I used to think that conservatives didn't like government intervening into our private lives, but apparently that just isn't true today.Labels: politics

Wholly Constitutional Questions, Batman!
This might get interesting:On April 25, the Supreme Court will be hearing argument on FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life, a case which questions the constitutionality of a provision of the McCain-Feingold laws regarding "sham issue advertising"
[...]
McCain-Feingold prohibits corporations, labor unions, and national banks from using their general treasury funds to pay for any "electioneering communication." What's that? "A communication that refers to a candidate for federal office and is broadcast within the 30 days before a federal primary election or the 60 days before a federal general election ... in which that candidate is running."
But what about communications that aren't intended to affect elections? If the First Amendment protects a group's right to speak out about issues of public concern (other than on elections and candidates qua candidates), and said issues occur near election-time, we've got a conflict.Labels: campaign, law, politics

Ugh.
Oh my. To nobody's surprise, Ann Coulter once again said something enormously offensive and received laughter and applause after a quick gasp from her right-wing crowd. And once again I find myself asking, why does she keep getting press time? From CNN:
Prominent politicians from both parties and a gay-rights group on Saturday condemned right-wing commentator Ann Coulter for her reference Friday to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a "faggot."
You can watch the video yourself at the Edwards campaign website.
On a positive note, wouldn't this family and this family look nice in the White House together?Labels: politics

"It is obvious; Catholics do not want Protestants elected to any office."
Two cheers for Madison's man-of-the-hour, Will Sandstrom (picture here). The retried biochemist and candidate for mayor, was kicked out of the audience of a recent mayoral debate.
On his own initiative, Sandstrom, whose name will appear on Tuesday's ballot, showed up at the forum in which the three other mayoral candidates had been invited to participate.
...
While the three invited candidates were making their opening remarks, Sandstrom began circulating among the audience handing out printed material.
...
However, following [another candidate's] opening statement, without an introduction, Sandstrom stood and began to make a statement. When Mohrbacher told him he was not invited on purpose and was unwelcome, Sandstrom ignored him and kept on speaking.
...
Sandstrom left under his own power with the two men at his side, but not before he said the action showed that "criminals" controlled Madison and that "lots of money went under the table to [Mayor] Cieslewicz."
Sandstrom said the only way Madison would get a clean government was to elect him. As he was packing up his materials, Sandstrom also explained that the reason the Berlin Wall came down was not any action in Poland or anywhere else in the former Soviet bloc, but what Sandstrom had told people in Stockholm, Sweden.
Sandstrom is one, um, "interesting" dude. Madison blogger Dennis York has noted this before (this post is a VERY good read, btw, and also has a link to a Sandstrom Youtube video).
Take the mayoral race here in Madison as a prime example. Will Sandstrom is once again running for mayor, and he is completely nuts.
...
During mayoral candidate debates, he is prone to long diatribes about his mother contracting gangrene, his father cooking moonshine, kids calling him "China Boy" growing up, his time dodging bullets in a Russian prison, and how he coined the term "Fish and Wildlife."
A 2003 State Journal piece on Sandstrom contained this gem: "In 1970, he tried to run for governor, insisting the Mafia had stolen the nation and was prolonging the Vietnam War to protect its drug trade. But when he tried to deliver nominating petitions, he said, he was arrested at the state Capitol for an outstanding parking ticket. He was disqualified over questions about nominating petitions, news accounts say."
Want more? Of course you do. Go straight to the horse's mouth and visit Will Sandstrom's blog, currently entitled "FINN ORIGINS, RULER CLAN, JESUS by willl." Here's a short example of the gems found therein:
-Will explains that he was kicked out of the mayoral debate, held at a Knights of Columbus club, because "The club has on its sign the KC symbol, Knights of Columbus. It is obvious; Catholics do not want Protestants elected to any office."
-Will explains that while at this meeting, he said, "Thus I would not build a trolley system costing property taxpayers hundreds of millions and which property tax monies would go to the Nino Mafia Mob and connected contractors--and in bundles of one hundred dollar bills inside black attache- and suit-cases to the Mayor."
-"The State of Wisconsin through its many Catholic Politicians and its "screened/controlled" news media is under the control of Catholic Bishops."
-Will explains the immigration debate. "And all three Catholics--current Mayor attended an all boys Catholic school--are against the building of any fence along the Mexican border, as they want ever more Catholics to flood into America's cities (including Madison) in order that Catholics each year gain more political control in America, and eventually make America a Catholic run Nation; as Catholics run Ireland, Malta, and Poland."
-"For Dr. Sandstrom believes he is inspired by JESUS/GOD to help alert and inspire Protestants to save America from an evil Catholic takeover; as Thomas Paine alerted and helped the first Protestant settlers from attempted control by the then evil Controllers of England, and the already growing Rothschild bankster gangster clan."
Fantastic. Maybe Bill O'Reilly was right.

The question becomes...
...is he good enough, smart enough, and do enough people like him enough to elect him senator? As expected, Al Franken has entered Minnesota's Senate Race. Republicans are already chatting it up:
"Given his blind partisanship and extreme anger, Al Franken is the last person Minnesotans need in the United States Senate," Republican Party Chairman Ron Carey said in a statement before the announcement.
Extreme anger? Stuart Smalley? And actaully, this guy is the last person Minnesotans need in the Senate.
After [a recent radio] show, Franken hugged staff members from the radio show and jokingly told reporters that "well as you can see, I'm an angry man." He also had two question-and-answer sessions with Minnesota reporters, in which he responded to the accusation that he was angry.
"I'm not an angry person but I do get angry about things like this (Iraq) war."

Don't Even Think About It.
Althouse has a good post on Congressman Gary Ackerman (D-NY) and some of his recent comments to Condi Rice, who was upset about the lack of Farsi and Arabic translators in the State Department. Rep. Ackerman commented to Rice that possibly her department should hire some of the translators fired by the Pentagon because they were openly gay and lesbian, in violation of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.
"For some reason, the military seems more afraid of gay people than they are against terrorists, but they're very brave with the terrorists," Ackerman said..."If the terrorists ever got a hold of this information, they'd get a platoon of lesbians to chase us out of Baghdad."
The remark drew some smiles from fellow members of the panel, but Rice was stone faced.
...
"[M]aybe you might find some of those competent people among those who are recently unemployed."
...
"Can we marry up those two — or maybe that's the wrong word — can we have some kind of union of those two issues?" Ackerman asked.
Ed: emphasis added.

Don't forget Poland.
Remember how, in 2004, John Kerry seemingly demolished Geedub in the debates? And remember those split-screen shots of Bush looking confused and Kerry smirking? The Village Voice even thought that this may have caused Kerry to come out on top of the debates.
But according to UW Research, this wasn't the case. Bush looking confused and frustrated didn't hurt him. Kerry's confident demeanor, occasional note-taking, and smirks hurt him. Strange, isn't it?
"The split-screen debates hurt Kerry and not really Bush," he says. "It was largely a function of what people thought about the two candidates in the first place. Split-screen coverage made Bush supporters more extreme in their support for the president and their opposition to Kerry. Kerry voters, on the other hand, didn't like Bush in the first place, but the split-screen coverage also didn't change much about their support for Kerry."
For Bush, the split-screen format shored up his base and helped him with GOP-leaning undecided viewers.
"When they saw Kerry on split screen and saw his smirks or writing something down in reaction to what Bush said, that produced a much more negative view towards Kerry," he adds. "People who leaned toward Bush in the first place felt even worse about Kerry."

Not So Silly Brits
I realize we always laugh at those silly Brits for having terrible food. But now they're laughing at us--because of our water. The San Francisco Chronicle's David Lazarus explains:
In early 2004, Coca-Cola launched its Dasani brand of bottled water in Britain. Dasani had already established itself as one of the most popular bottled waters in the United States.
Within weeks, however, Coke had a disaster in the making. The British press discovered that Dasani was nothing more than processed tap water and ran a series of indignant stories suggesting that consumers were being hoodwinked by the U.S. beverage giant. ... The water was quickly withdrawn from store shelves and plans were canceled to market Dasani elsewhere in Europe, which to this day remains a Dasani-free zone.
...
Be that as it may, most Americans are probably unaware that Dasani, like many bottled waters sold in the United States, doesn't originate from pristine mountain springs; it starts in the same pipes that run into people's kitchens.
...
As I reported in Wednesday's column, Americans spent an estimated $11 billion last year drinking 8.3 billion gallons of bottled water.
That means the average American consumed almost 28 gallons of Dasani, Aquafina, Evian or hundreds of other brands -- more than any other commercial beverage except soda. More than milk. More than coffee. More than beer.
...
The leading bottled water brand in the United States is PepsiCo's Aquafina, followed by Coke's Dasani. Each does more than $1 billion in annual sales, according to Beverage Marketing Corp.
Both Aquafina and Dasani, as well as many other bottled-water brands sold in stores and supermarkets, are what the FDA calls purified water. Purified water comes from the same municipal pipes that everyone else's water comes from.
The difference is that purified water undergoes any of a variety of filtration treatments to remove chlorine and most dissolved solids.
"It's municipal-source water that's been purified," explained Hemphill at Beverage Marketing Corp.
In other words, tap water.
...
The irony is that, while the packaging of purified water frequently evokes natural settings and often features the word "pure," it is distinct from ordinary tap water precisely because it has been run through sophisticated machinery.
It is, in other words, anything but natural. Industry representatives generally make no pretense of claiming that purified water is better for consumers than most tap water.
Judging by the $11 billion we spend on water, it appears as if "private water" has officially taken off. And unfortunately, the next step is the privatization of our municipal water systems, as detailed in this piece in Mother Jones Magazine and this very interesting essay in the Utne Reader.
Less attention has been paid to another effect of branded water: It advances a corporate agenda to privatize public drinking supplies. "Bottled water is getting people into the habit of paying an awful lot more for their drinking water," says Tony Clarke, author of "Inside the Bottle," a book-length expose of the industry published in 2005... As much, in fact, as 10,000 times what they pay for tap water.
In 2003 the world's three largest for-profit water services corporations, France's Suez and Vivendi (now Veolia) and Germany's RWE-Thames, announced their goal to take control of 70 percent of U.S. and Canadian public water utilities within 10 years. By conditioning people to pay more for water than they do for gasoline, Clarke argues, the industry undermines confidence in public water utilities, setting the stage for privatization.
While we're talking about water, here are some interesting stats on water consumption from the Utne Reader:
We Are Water
o Percentage of the human body that is water: 70
o Number of days the average person can survive without water: 3
Tree Hitters
o Percentage of daily water use saved during Sigmota, Sweden's annual Pee Outside Day: 50
The Wet & Dry
Amount of water used each day by:
o Households with dishwashers, washing machines, and sprinklers: 1,000 liters
o Households with piped-in tap water: 100-300 liters
o Households using a public water hydrant: 20-70 liters
o Households using a distant water source: 2-5 liters.

Everybody loves quizzes! And Raymond, evidently.
Alright kids, judging by the seven comments on the "25 question" quiz post, here's another quiz to test your political compass. This one, spread out over 6 pages, will chart you on a cartesian system to demonstrate your
economic left/right position and your social libertarian/authoritarian position.
Your political compass:
Economic Left/Right: -5.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.77
That puts me, again, as a "corporations are bad, let's hold hands and sing kumbaya, why can't we all just get along, peace-loving beatnik" type of person. According to the site's graph, I rank closest to Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi, and exactly opposite to Geedub. What a surprise. Like I needed a quiz to tell me that.
But I'm more interested in the second (Pope Benedict) and fourth quadrants (Milton Friedman, and C's favorite Andrew Sullivan). Will anybody here admit to getting a score in this range? Or should we all chew on granola for a while?
One thing is universal, though. Everyone loves bitching about this quiz.
