Kerry Brown's piece in the The Diplomat argued that the PRC is Biggest

This second issue is where the hope lies. Taiwan’s political evolution

transition within a Chinese cultural polity which was stable. For this
reason, while Xi’s comments might unsettle people in the short term, in the
long term they just expose the great secret about modern cross-Strait

Israel Attacks Syria In Attempt To Jump Start World War III

some are easy to do others are so out outrageous that are only kept in my
private analog diary.
Within a few short years 7 to 12 years form today quite a few families
whose economy depend on driving a truck, must begin to prepare themselves
for the loss of that income today. WHY?
Let's look at some jobs that currently use truck drivers, Garbage/
Refuse, Grocery delivery and Fresh produce drivers. How are these jobs in
danger of disappearing like the horse carriage and the Ice delivery men?

Canada's Right Leaning MSM Is Starting To Realize What Progressives Have Long Known About The Disturbing Character Of Stephen Harper ..

What Mattered This Week?
The latest filibuster showdown in the Senate matters, both because it might
very well end the filibuster, and because it matters whether or not Barack
Obama's choices wind up on the DC Circuit Court.
I'm not sure what I have for this week, so I'll just repeat the new
research which confirms that open vs. closed primaries don't matter.
That's what I have. What about you? What do you think mattered this week?
Outright hatred coming from 5th graders. This is urban school reform manifest.
I am familiar with a group of fifth graders who are in real crisis. This

of age so filled with rage and hate and anger that their entire […]

When Will He Turn On Them?
Some of Stephen Harper's most perceptive critics are on the right. This
week, in the Sun newspapers, John Robson called for the prime minister's
resignation:
Unless it is OK for the prime minister to lie repeatedly and openly on an
important matter, Stephen Harper must resign or be dismissed.
And this morning, in the Postmedia papers, Andrew Coyne reviews Harper's
speech to the assembled throng in Calgary:
And so we get this damp recital of past slogans, this parody of a parody of
an empty cliché of a speech, this 4,000 word migraine. A strong, stable

Why Would Congress Let Wall Street Gamble With Our Families' Futures?
Fred Upton's Monkey Court
On Wednesday, the House voted 292-122 to gut a significant portion of the
Dodd-Frank Consumer Protection law. Irresponsible banksters addicted to
risky gambling will once again be able to take those risks knowing that if
they get into trouble, the taxpayers will be forced to pick up the tab. As

Formula One quiz answer
Yesterday I asked 'When was the last time that three drivers of the same
nationality finished first, second and third in a Formula One Grand Prix
and so shared the podium at the end of the race?'
The answer is the 1982 French Grand Prix when three Frenchmen stepped up
onto the podium of the Paul Ricard. René Arnoux finished first, ahead of
his Renault team-mate Alain Prost, with Didier Pironi finishing third. In
fact yet another Frenchman, Patrick Tambay, finished fourth.
If HMOs Had Control of Our Cars
Mechanics would refuse to fix your car or double their labor rates if
they knew the car had been worked on previously.
Your kid wouldn't be able to drive your car after age 21.
While making increasingly exorbitant car payments each month on your
rapidly depreciating car, you'd still have to cover the first $8000 of any
repair or maintenance plus pay $30-50 for every estimate.
Mechanics would refuse to make certain repairs on the assumption it's
an unnecessary procedure.
You'd be limited to how much repair work you could put into your car

"A revolving door"?

THE BBC was last night hit by a fresh bias row after it emerged five former

election.
Conservative vice-chairman Bob Neill said there was “a revolving door”
between the Corporation and the party. Ex-Beeb journalists Polly
Billington, Clive Lewis, Victoria Groulef and Simon Thomson have all been
selected for top target seats in 2015. And Matthew Turmaine, the
Corporation’s head of client services and fulfilment, is standing for
Labour in Watford.

Western Culture and the Third Gender
Well done Germany. German law has been changed to allow for a "third
gender", for legal recognition to be extended to people who are born
intersex. This is entirely welcome - it's high time the legalities

up with nature and acknowledged that not all people are born into one of
two discrete biological sexes. The BBC report notes this has now created
a
problem with the law regarding marriage and civil partnerships which
*are*defined in 'traditional' gendered terms. Still, it'll keep the
lawyers
plenty busy.

One of the favorite lies of the Christian Right is that the U.S. is a

Eight years
This blog has been going for eight years. In that time we have seen
political practice and public opinion shift continually to the right
(especially among the young). From 1990 (approximately) to 2005 the public
moved and largely remained on the left. There was nothing that collected
and organised this opinion, save for the period when Stop the War was a
membership organisation and not a brand name, the salad days of the
anti-war movement 2001-2003. The Labour Party spent most of its time in
power trying to convince its supporters they were more right wing than they

leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented

None of this is really possible without global military disarmament. We

Snowman Kids Ornament
It is the time of year when I start breaking out my Holiday crafts and
ideas, so you can be well done with your crafting by the time Christmas
rolls around. I have some fun Thanksgiving ideas too, but I thought we
would kick of the holiday crafting season with a kids craft. This craft is
perfect for those younger kid and elementary school students. It is easy to
pull together and really open to individuality.
You will need:
Large Popsicle sticks, the tongue depressor type
Felt or foam in a few colors, we used purple for the scarf and black for
the hat

Is Obama finished?...
William Gensert, who wrote "Stick a Fork in Obama", over at American
Thinker seems to think so.
He's already received over 400 comments - some agree with him and some
don't.
Pop over and read the article and let me know what you think. I'll reserve
my opinion until I ponder it a bit.
*Stick a Fork in Obama*
I thought the chicken breast was particularily appropriate given that my
demo today is Chicken Cordon Bleu. I do plan on cooking mine, though...

Our final World Series in Boston post!
*FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2013*
*Stood up by the old Boston Braves:* Fenway Park certainly makes a
fantastic TV set.
When the camera peers in from center field, the fans behind home plate are
so close that they seem to be handing you hot dogs. And then, good lord,
those glorious walls!
From right center field all the way over, Fenway's walls are 17 or 37 feet
high. With all those potential bounces!
With that in mind:
The best seat in baseball must be the one directly along the left field
line, halfway up in the section. You’re maybe fifteen feet off the field,
looking in at home pla... more »
TOURING THE JEJU MESSAGE
Catholic nuns continue blocking Navy base construction gate in Gangjeong
village on Jeju Island in South Korea. Priests and nuns have become
increasingly determined in their actions in recent months.During the last
couple of weeks Maine filmmaker Regis Tremblay has been touring the new
documentary The Ghosts of Jeju. Starting in Massachusetts he then went on
to the San Francisco Bay area for a couple showings and then up to Santa
Rosa before heading to Seattle. He's now dipping back down to Oregon for a
couple more showings of the film and then moving on to Minneapolis,

FUKUSHIMA - DON'T PANIC
A number of websites WRONGLY stated that the above diagram shows
radiation
from Fukushima.
In reality, this diagram was produced in 2011.
It was made by the *National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA)*to show the tsunami of 11 March 2011, based on data recorded in
the
Pacific.
*NOAA website*
This is explained by Audrey Garric at *le monde* on 29 Oct 2013 (also
*Le
blog de Wendy*)
In a study published this month in the journal *Deep-Sea Research*,
scientists have studied the path in the ocean of cesium-137.
"The plume of cesium-137 resulting from the disaster is ex... more »
Hedge Fund Operative Gordon Hendry Joins Indiana State Board of Education
by Doug Martin
*Jennifer Wagner** : "I've heard it's (Diane Ravitch's Reign of Error) a
lovely piece of fiction."*
When Mind Trust board member and Bill Bennett operative David Shane (whose
wife is a former Eli Lilly Endowment "education consultant)" recently
stepped down from the Indiana State Board of Education, I was not shocked
when Mike Pence quickly picked Democrat Gordon Hendry to join the state
board.
Hendry is married to Jennifer Wagner, the former spokesperson for the
Indiana Democratic Party. Wagner has been in bed with the rightwing in
Indiana for some time. Her c... more »
