Has the conservative movement STARTed eating its own?
Posted by The Editors

ZombieFootballWith strong military and bipartisan support, Dick Lugar and a team of neocon intellectuals came out swinging today – against their own party. 

"At the moment, the Republican caucus is tied up in a situation where people don't want to make choices," Lugar told reporters in the hallway of the Capitol building Wednesday.

"I'm advising that the treaty should come on the floor so people will have to vote aye or nay [even if there's no deal]," he said. "I think when it finally comes down to it, we have sufficient number or senators who do have a sense of our national security. This is the time, this is the priority. Do it."

"There are still thousands of missiles out there. You better get that through your heads," he said, directing his comments to members of his own party.

This move reminded us of a zombie football movie.  Lugar is the star player on Team Ratify, backed by strong players from the neocon bench --  Max Boot and Bob Kagan.

On the other side, angry coach Heritage Foundation is yelling from the sidelines. Neocons John Yoo and John Bolton are the sassy cheerleaders, rooting on Father of the Fringe Jim DeMint and Bushie Paula Desutter as they throw blocks for Jon Kyl, who just went from being the QB to the football. 

Team Ratify has the entire US military on its side -- and will emerge victorious, but not without a few missing limbs come the next fight.  We're ready for the sequel: Defense Spending: GOP Zombies' Revenge.

Oh,no,it's so crezay.

Tracing the history and pearl worldwide in pandora charms Company now is the role of his greatest contribution. In addition, he also introduced to the reader that the pandora charm use different kinds of pearl early, such as California black pearls, Wisconsin purple pearls and Ohio simple beautiful freshwater pearls.
The book contains a series of the fabled pearls. Also describes pandora story in the past few years as a royal and celebrity jewel trading. One pearl's story often be mentioned" queen pearl", The American company had sold Napoleon's wife Eugenie queen a pearl. It is a royal pearl. But actually it is merely a New Jersey ordinary pearl.

That is certainly possible, conservative cannibalism.

Especially since it is clear that we have passed the peak of sanity, whether or not you think we have passed peak oil.

I hope good luck for them.

Democracy Arsenal keeps asserting that Team Ratify and Lugar will win against Kyl/Bolton/Yoo et al. I hope so too, but I don't think the math stacks up, and I don't think you're counting the GOP votes correctly at all. Here's today's NYTimes:

"The White House has only one Republican supporter, Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana. A survey of 14 other Senate Republicans who were considered possible supporters found none who were willing to publicly back the treaty. Ten of them said they were undecided or were waiting for the same assurances as Mr. Kyl, and four did not respond, suggesting that approval may depend on changing Mr. Kyl’s mind."

Nice post. This post is different from what I read on most blog. And it have so many valuable things to learn. Thank you for your sharing.

Our ugg boots clearance nails aren’t just a convenient place to put colored polish. Nails, on both the fingers and the toes, are made of keratin, the same stuff our hair contains, only denser and harder. Nails are the primate equivalent of hooves and claws on other animals. Animals use their claws or talons to catch prey, climb trees, and defend themselves. Humans have evolved to the point where fingernails are not vital for survival, but there’s no doubt that they’re useful ugg boots clearance. They help when we’re performing fine motor skills, like untying knots and preparing food. They’re also important for scratching (a pleasurable experience most mammals enjoy) and grooming ugg boots clearance.

Toenails are less important than fingernails ugg boots clearance. At this stage of our evolution, they’re little more than remnants. Watching apes and monkeys use their feet to grasp objects reminds us that at one point it was useful to have nails on our toes, but they’re simply not as necessary now. Apes and monkeys also have opposable thumbs on their feet that help their dexterity. Since humans don’t have these, our feet are useful mainly for ambulation ugg boots clearance.

One thing that nails are not for is protection of the nail bed. Contrary to popular belief, they serve no protective purpose ugg boots clearance, and without fingernails or toenails, our digits would not be uncomfortably sensitive; the nail bed would simply become harder and tougher to accommodate the new level of exposure ugg boots outlet.

I knew it all, word for word — and yet the sight of Sophie's six toes stirred nothing in my memory. I saw the foot

resting in her mother's lap. Watched her mother pause to look down at it for a still moment, lift it, bend to kiss it

gently, and then look up with tears in her eyes. I felt sorry for her distress, and for Sophie, and for the hurt foot

— but nothing more.UGG Boots Clearance
While the bandaging was finished I looked round the room curiously. The house was a great deal smaller than my home,

a cottage, in fact, but I liked it better. It felt friendly. And although Sophie's mother was anxious and worried she

did not give me the feeling that I was the one regrettable and unreliable factor in an otherwise orderly life, the

way most people did at home. And the room itself seemed to me the better, too, for not having groups of words hanging

on the wall for people to point to in disapproval. Instead, this room had several drawings of horses, which I thought

very fine.UGG Boots Clearance
Presently, Sophie, tidied up now, and with the tear-marks washed away, hopped to a chair at the table. Quite

restored, but for the foot, she inquired with grave hospitality whether I liked eggs.

Afterwards, Mrs Wender told me to wait where I was while she carried her upstairs. She returned in a few minutes, and

sat down beside me. She took my hand in hers and looked at me seriously for some moments. I could feel her anxiety

strongly; though quite why she should be so worried was not, at first, clear to me. I was surprised by her, for there

had been no sign before that she could think in that way. I thought back to her, trying to reassure her and show her

that she need not be anxious about me, but the thought didn't reach her. She went on looking at me with her eyes

shining, much as Sophie's had when she was trying not to cry. Her own thoughts were all worry and shapelessness as

she kept looking at me. I tried again, but still couldn't reach them. Then she nodded slowly, and said in words:

href="http://cheapestuggsclearance.com" title=Clearance UGGS">Clearance UGGS
'You're a good boy, David. You were very kind to Sophie. I want to thank you for that.'
I felt awkward, and looked at my shoes. I couldn't remember anyone saying before that I was a good boy. I knew no

form of response designed to meet such an event.Ugg boots clearance
'You like Sophie, don't you?' she went on, still looking at me.
'Yes,' I told her. And I added: 'I think she's awfully brave, too. It must have hurt a lot.'
'Will you keep a secret — an important secret — for her sake?' she asked.
'Yes — of course,' I agreed, but a little uncertain in my tone for not realizing what the secret was.
' You — you saw her foot?' she said, looking steadily into my face. ' Her — toes?'
I nodded. 'Yes,' I said again.
'Well, that is the secret, David. Nobody else must know about that. You are the only person who does, except her

father and me. Nobody else must know. Nobody at all — not ever.'
'No,' I agreed, and nodded seriously again.
There was a pause — at least, her voice paused, but her thoughts went on, as if ' nobody' and ' not ever' were

making desolate, unhappy echoes there. Then that changed, and she became tense and fierce and afraid inside. It was

no good think?ing back to her, so I tried clumsily to emphasize in words that I had meant what I said.
' Never — not anybody at all,' I assured her earnestly.
' It's very, very important,' she insisted. ' How can I explain to you?' But she didn't really need to explain. Her

urgent, tight-strung feeling of the importance was very plain. Her words were far less potent. She said:
'If anyone were to find out, they'd — they'd be terribly un?kind to her. We've got to see that that never happens.'
It was as if the anxious feeling had turned into something hard, like an iron rod.
'Because she has six toes?' I asked.
'Yes. That's what nobody but us must ever know. It must be a secret between us,' she repeated, driving it home.

'You'll promise, David?'
'I'll promise. I can swear, if you like,' I offered.
'The promise is enough,' she told me.

Aredhel Ar-Feiniel, the White Lady of the Noldor, daughter of Fingolfin, dwelt in Nevrast with Turgon her brother, and she went with him to the Hidden Kingdom. But she wearied of ugg boots clearanceof Gondolin, desiring ever the longer the more to ride again in the wide lands and to walk in the forests, as had been her wont in Valinor: and when two hundred years had passed since Gondolin was full-wrought with louis vuitton outlet, she spoke to Turgon and asked leave to depart. Turgon was loath to grant this, and long denied her; but at the last he yielded, saying: 'Go then, if you will though it is against my wisdom, and I forebode that ill will come of it both to you and to me. But you shall go only to seek Fingon, our brother; and those ugg boots outletthat I send with you shall return hither to Gondolin as swiftly as they may.'
But Aredhel said: 'I am your sister and not your servant, and beyond your bounds I will go as seems good to me. And if you begrudge me an escort, then I will go alone.'

On my Egypt Air flight yesterday to Cairo, I witnessed one of the more intriguing in-flight exchanges that I can remember. A bearded, well-dressed man sitting a few seats behind me began shouting at the flight attendant. He was complaining that the in-flight movie was inappropriate. What are these “offensive images?” he asked. These included a 15-minute stretch of the movie where at least one woman at any given time was wearing a bikini. In a couple of scenes at a club, members of opposite sexes were dancing in close proximity while, it appeared, consuming alcoholic beverages. “Are we really all Westernized now?” the man behind me asked, as if posing a question to those of us in the back of the plane.

The man’s arguments were rather interesting. He pointed out that if you took a poll of the passengers,ugg boots outlet most would agree the film was morally offensive. He asked the attendant, “if we ask the passengers what they think and they agree with me, then what will you do?” The attendant responded, “we don’t take public opinion (ra’i al ‘am) on the airplane.” The man was right: most passengers, and most Egyptians – the vast majority of whom don’t drink, go to clubs, or wear bikinis – would object to the film’s content. But at what point do they have the right to restrict minority expressions of unfaithfulness?

It was an odd, amusing exchange that justified the otherwise unpleasant experience of flying on EgyptAir.ugg boots clearance But it was a reminder of the fundamental lack of consensus in the Arab world over the boundaries and limits of the state. There are two groups – Islamists and secular elites – with worldviews which couldn’t be more different. They live parallel lives in parallel worlds, with parallel institutions. They rarely intersect.ugg boots clearance One group believes it has both history and the Egyptian people on its side. The other side, considerably smaller in number, likely has neither. It does, however, have the power.

This stalemate has paralyzed the Arab world for decades now.ugg boots outlet

Sunday’s elections will be just another version of this.ugg boots clearance The main players are the Muslim Brotherhood – populist, religious, and righteous – and the regime coalition which, with its president soon to pass, finds itself in an uncertain place.

Then Eöl looked into the eyes of King Turgon, and he was not daunted, but stood long without word or movement while a still silence fell upon the hall; and Aredhel was afraid, knowing that he was perilous. Suddenly, swift as serpent, he seized a javelin that he held hid beneath his cloak and cast it at Maeglin, crying:
'The second choice I take and for my son also! You shall not hold what is mine!'
But Aredhel sprang before the dart, and it smote her in the shoulder; and Eöl was overborne by many and set in bonds, and led away, while others tended Aredhel. But Maeglin looking upon his father was silent.
It was appointed that Eöl should be brought on the next day to the King's judgement; and Aredhel and Idril moved Turgon to mercy. But in the evening Aredhel sickened, though the wound had seemed little, and she fell into the darkness, and in the night she died; for the point of the Javelin was poisoned, though none knew it until too late.
Therefore when Eöl was brought before Turgon he found no mercy; and they led him forth to the ugg boots clearanceCaragdûr, a precipice of black rock upon the north side of the hill of Gondolin, there to cast him down from the sheer walls of the city. And Maeglin stood by and said nothing; but at the last Eöl cried out: 'So you forsake your father and his kin, ill-gotten son! Here shall you fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I.'

"Are you a believer in love at first sight?" I asked her, hoping to throw her off guard. Not a chance.
