Phil Butler, a POW for eight years in Vietnam, took issue with the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth allegation that Kerry’s anti-war protests caused POWs to be treated badly. “I lived with two of the POWs who are now in that group … and I am telling you, they are full of it. We never heard a blooming thing about John Kerry while we were there.”

By the way, isn’t it interesting that a religious tyrant, a tyrant that buries people in the ground up to their necks and stones them to death, would hold the same views on whether the U.S. should pull out of Iraq as the democrats do?

I do remember those guys running around the field with Hank when he broke Babe’s record, so that was a good point, I don’t know? But I do remember there were Barney Fife-ish policemen there too.

As I said, I had heard that story on NPR a little bit ago ago, and I thought it was interesting. I never knew that the race to beat Babe’s record was so intense - I didn’t know there were death threats, but then again I was a kid.

I just thought it was a good and interesting story. I’ve always had a lot of respect for Hank Aaron. IMHO, He never seemed to let fame go to his head like some do.

Paul,

I believe a more overwhelmingly Democratically controlled Congress would be able to limit some of that presidential power. I don’t believe Hillary would veto such legislation, but I don’t envision her pushing it either. I think Edwards, if elected (not holding my breath) would be most likely to initiate a scale back, but the temptation is going to be there for any President to use this power while it is available( and they will convince themselves its only for good) unless Congress cuts it off.I don’t foresee any of the dem presidential hopefuls making the over the top intense efforts toward a power grab like we have seen for the past 6 years though.

I don’t think Mike’s use of Hillary in the cartoon is so much an indictment of Hillary (though it might be, Mike?), but rather the embodiment of all things bad from a right wingnut perspective, an absurd caricature which the righties have been fomenting and building up to ridiculously epic proportions since 1992.

Hillary’s made some botched remarks lately and doesn’t appear so invincible, but the gaffs were short lived and probably not a long term problem.

The point is that Edwards is starting to emerge from Hillary’s shadow. When he speaks, he speaks calmly and when he addresses Healthcare, people are starting to believe.

If Edwards can avoid any overly liberal stances on other issues, then he’s going to move up in the polls.

I hope America is over its little fling with the false promises of the radical right. It certainly did what the Repugs wanted; took away wealth from the middle class and concentrated it with the elite.

Now if we can get a Democratic administration and a larger margin on the Hill, maybe we can rejoin the modern world and work on issues like universal health care and resolving the mid east situation in a mature and sane way.

The USA is an embarrassment. We treat our poor and downtrodden worse than a lot of third world countries.

I agree with the first part - the larger issue is the relative power between the Executive and the Legislative. VP Cheney was quite open that he thought the Legislative had too much relative power (he was a Congressman, served as a Secretary, also as White House Chief of Staff, so he saw the relationships from those perspectives, over a long time). So he pursued his goal (not for himself or the Pres, as he knew the changes would remain after he left office).

But I agree: once gained, power is rarely voluntarily reduced, regardless of party affiliation. Same is true with Congressional committees (one reason for so much overlap).

I don’t see the ‘toon as a Hillary indictment or a representation of right-wing fears, just a jump to the likely Democrat who could hold the office, and once there, she’ll have the same “power” for which Cheney strove, which will make the Right nervous. It’d be interesting if it would make the Left nervous, also.

Bosch,

It is an interesting story and one that’s probably grown into mythical proportions over time. I wouldn’t go so far as to slander all the 1974 Atlanta police, but maybe stadium security as a general rule wasn’t taken that seriously back then.

That being said, a plethora of serious death threats would certainly have led the team to involve the FBI which would tend to give these things a little more weight.

The fact that the crowd rose in unison with a thunderous ovation is a sure sign it wasn’t a prevalent thought and the fact that the only reaction from Hank was to smile and run the bases with the two white strangers that appeared beside him patting him on the back seems to be pretty convincing evidence that a racially motivated murder wasn’t nearly as much in the forefront of his thoughts as the narrative later became.

Paul,

Somehow I find it very hard to see how a CIC acting as a CIC is a power grab, especially in war time. It’s certainly not a power grab to have a coequal branch act as a coequal. So this seems to be just more hysterical moonbat(ic)® rhetoric to incite their sheep. (see: Goldie, getalife, the scribbler, etc)

I’m not sure if you really believe there has been a power grab or you’re just poking sharp sticks at the bee hive, but I’d be interested to read what you think is an unconstitutional usurpation of power by the Executive if you really think there has been one.

Later all, see you at Happy Hour perhaps.

Edwards should spend all his liberal capital on Healthcare and then gravitate toward the middle on everything else. He should Adopt a conservative but left of center platform, and he should soar with that healthcare stance.

The timing is right for any candidate that can convince America that he/she can change the healthcare system.

It’s so early, that the candidates have room to recover from gaffs. (and learn from them).

I expect the left and the right to start sounding like parrots as they avoid the pitfalls of a unique stand on any issue. Instead of attacking opponents, they should simply sound really presidential as they address an issue. Be themselves, and speak plainly, and let their personality win over voters.

It’s about how good you look and sound while you say what you’re saying. (never sound defensive)

The Pakistan remark by Obama illustrates this. The Islamists in Pakistan are galvanized by national security issues and fears of a preemptive strike by the US into Pakistan to get Bin Laden. Pakistan is unraveling, just as Bush’s think tank predicted it would if we let OBL escape there. In 2002, Rumsfeld was ordered to attack and he refused W’s order in time of war, and that’s treason. Rumsfeld did not attack until W made Afghanistan a pentagon operation and not a CIA operation. Fact. The CIA had Bin Laden pinpointed and dead to rights. Rumsfeld delay ruined everything. And now we have all of this.

The entire region is on it’s own timetable for complications and conflagrations. Our presence is interfering with the normal development of that region. We’ve violated the Prime Directive.

Hi Dusty

Just a bit of fun before I go -

I think I have to rethink my comment I’d sanction a strike on OBL even if he were in Red Square.

Jihadists should have Constitutional protections

Jihadists should receive trials that conform to US laws

Captured Jihadists should be treated humanely

Where does it say the US executes those suspected of a crime? We capture, try, pass sentence, then carry out the sentence. Is not ordering the execution of a suspect (as the Democratic candidates say they would, once they know where OBL is) before a trial a gross miscarriage of justice?

Isn’t the ‘proper’ course to exhaust every opportunity to apprehend him, not summarily execute him?

I won’t be here after this post until much later, if at all. So this one will have to do for a bit.

When Obama said that he would strike at Osama in Pakistan (if Pakistan’s gov’t failed to do so), he was simply saying out loud what every candidate (save one, perhaps) would do if s/he were President. For them to attack him for taking that position is disingenuous, at best. All they can criticize him for is saying it out loud rather than refusing to respond to such a hupothetical situation.

Next Topic: Everyone will have their own opinion about the balance of power between the Executive and Legislative branches of government. However, the one thing people tend to forget is that if an individual who has real leadership qualities ever gets into the White House, then Congress will be forced to follow this President because the People will demand it!

That has been true for the last 150 years, since the end of the “Little Ice Age”. However, man has nothing to do with changing climate cycles. The Earth has warmed and cooled repeatedly throughout its 4 billion year history. 120 thousand years ago the Earth’s temperature averaged 9 degress F higher than now. We then slid into a protracted ice age.

You “cons” can say what you want about Hillary, but she is a giant step ahead of bush and company: more intelligence, more competence, more leadership (that can be said for many of the candidates). I just laugh at your meager attempts to discredit her while your joker continues to blunder and sink this country further into a shameless position it never deserved. Doesn’t matter what you say, won’t bother me because the majority of the US sees the failure of this entire administration and I am thrilled that it will be gone; never to return.

Haven’t stopped by here in ages. I see little has changed.

Today’s toon is fantastic, ML. Of course the Dems aren’t about to abbrogate the tiniest sliver of presidential power any more than the Reps would.

I seem to remember President Clinton having line item veto authority for a significant portion of his tenure. Did he refuse to use that power?

Not hardly, but I do think he used it with considerable finesse and it was probably the single greatest reason that President Clinton was as effective a President as he was. His success was mostly due to the fact that he possessed considerably more leverage against Congress through line-item veto than our current President has. Would any of the far left now be comfortable with President Bush having similar veto prerogative?

I’m all for the line item veto but Reps treated the idea like it was Cholera when they had their chance at power with one of their own in the oval office and majorities in both house. Maybe the not so distant thought of their own struggle with President Clinton was still fresh in their memories?

There was an interesting article put out a couple of days ago by Wesley Clark and someone else. The whole point of the article was that the Bush Administration made a grave error(go figure! They made a mistake?) in classifying captured terrorists as non-combatants versus criminals. The article goes on to show how the Bush team have legitimized the terrorists by holding them in military prisons and having military trials. The article says we should treat them like they always have been - criminals and try them in criminal courts. If we did that tnen it would legitimize our stance on them. Instead we’ve raised them up and now more people of that mind want to be a martyr for the cause. Funny but isn’t this what Bill Clinton did when he wanted to pursue them via law enforcement? Oh, but the Bush team can’t do anything the way Bill did it. Sad, truly sad.

15 million working families enjoyed tax relief under President Clinton’s expanded Earned Income Tax Credit. Thanks to Clinton, the EITC lifted 4.3 million people out of poverty in 1998 alone.

1.5 million children benefited when Clinton more than doubled federal funding for child care.

President Clinton signed a bad “welfare reform” bill in 1996, but Clinton vetoed a worse bill twice, winning concessions each time including - increased child care funding (by $4 billion), worker retraining, extensions for benefits, exceptions for “hard cases” and more.

Clinton increased funding for the Head Start program by 90 percent in FY 2000 so 880,000 children had a better chance to learn and grow.

Clinton forced the minimum wage up from $4.25 to $5.15 per hour and demanded an increase to $6.15.

Clinton’s Workforce Investment Act reformed the nation’s employment and training system.

Clinton’s AmeriCorps gave 150,000 young people the opportunity to serve in their communities while earning money for college or skills training.

President Clinton’s One America initiatives challenged us to respect others’ differences and embrace the common values that unite us. “[T]o close the opportunity gaps that exist for minorities and the underserved in this country.”

The poverty rate fell from 15.1 percent in 1993 to 12.7 percent in 1998. That’s the lowest poverty rate since 1979 and the largest five-year drop in poverty in nearly 30 years (1965-1970).

The African-American poverty rate dropped from 33.1 percent in 1993 to 26.1 percent in 1998 — the lowest level ever recorded and the largest five-year drop in African-American poverty in more than a quarter century (1967-1972).

The poverty rate for Hispanics fell to the lowest level since 1979, and dropped to 25.6 percent in 1998.

African-American unemployment fell from 14.2 percent in 1992 to 7.3 percent in March 2000 — the lowest rate on record.

The unemployment rate for Hispanics fell from 11.6 percent in 1992 to 6.3 percent in March 2000 — and in the last year has been at the lowest rate on record.

For women the unemployment rate was 4.3 percent in March 2000, nearly the lowest since 1953 [when few women sought employment outside the home].

In 1999, the homeownership rate was 66.8 percent — the highest ever

Shawny,

One thing you have to look at when determining what Clinton was good at is not only what he did but what he didn’t do. One thing that got Bush Sr. in trouble was that he tried to manipulate the economy which he was terrible at. Bush Jr. (Shrub) took the Clinton approach when he shouldn’t have. His tax cuts for the wealthy really only helped Wall Street and if that is how you judge the economy then Bush is great but if you ask many Americans about their economic futures I’ll bet you’ll get a different answer. Clinton knew when to NOT meddle in things and the economy was one of them. Maybe he needed to near the end of his term what with the Tech bubble crash but overall he did a great job with the economy by staying out of the way. He was smart enough to know better which is something neither Bush president can say. Now you may say the Shrub’s tax cuts were a great idea but to tell you the truth I’ve never really felt them way down here. They didn’t ‘trickle down’ very far. I think a smaller tax cut would have been better to jump start the economy but Shrub took it too far which is something he always does.

Uh, one thing for sure that has not changed one bit is your ignorance.

The President of the United States was briefly granted this power by the Line Item Veto Act of 1996, passed by (THE REPUBLICAN) Congress in order to control “pork barrel spending” that favors a particular region rather than the nation as a whole. The line-item veto was used 11 times to strike 82 items from the federal budget by President Bill Clinton./However, U.S. District Court Judge Thomas F. Hogan decided on February 12, 1998, that unilateral amendment or repeal of only parts of statutes violated the U.S. Constitution. This ruling was subsequently affirmed on June 25, 1998, by a 6-3 decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case Clinton v. City of New York.

As was alluded to at 10:40, where does one draw the line? One constitutional right? Some? All? None? Criminal trials, but no constitutional rights? It seems the difficulty so far has been in what to classify them as and what the processes are. Remember the recent case - the military board regs allow them to classify as “enemy combatants” or not, while the prosecution requires a determination of a different classification - along the lines of “unlawful illegal not good enemy combatant.” Not a good situation.

Hmmm, got it about the Father Bosch, I thought you had a Little Bosch (one of your soccer comments), so you became Daddy Bosch.

The skit was in reference to “don’t hold Hillary accountable ‘cause Bush isn’t held so.” The Code Pink comment was a new topic. It came from one of those one-liner news comments I saw the other day (they’ve been really, really critical of her). One of the CP founders said Moveon strayed from its principles and was conservative so CP would no longer associate with moveon. So that would make CP… what’s at the left end of the universe from ultralib?

Gosh, I had no idea that suggesting that one grow mint in one’s garden was a form of flirting.

Poor Doomster, must be starved for affection if he places such significance in such an insignificant comment.

Paul,

When I do grow mint, which is not very often since I’m usually out of town during the mint growing season, I grow it in pots so it doesn’t spread and invade my garden - which is not much to begin with. After a bad experience with Bamboo, I have learned my lesson about what to pot and what to allow to roam free!

In any case, I think you may be confusing me with @@ (or Dusty?). I don’t recall ever mentioning my gardening here.

I have Gardenias, Daffodils, Azaleas, Hibiscus, lots of shrub roses, climbing roses, Lantana, climbing Jasmine, and some Clematis. That’s about it, other than a few pots of annuals that I put at my doorstep and on my deck and patio.

I didn’t know what a “Mojito” was but thanks to Google, now I do. I have had a “Caipirinha” at a Brazilian night club which sounds pretty similar to a “Mojito”, but I don’t think they have club soda in them.

Ooooo, something good from Stratfor:

I hope it’s within the word limit.

(((Algerian officials said Aug. 8 that security forces killed nine Islamist militants, including an operational commander, during several days of fighting in northern Algeria. This latest blow to al Qaeda’s North African franchise — al Qaeda Organization for the Countries of the Arab Maghreb — comes less than a month after the group promised a violent campaign against the region’s governments. The al Qaeda node has failed to deliver on that promise and has actually been on the receiving end of most of the violence in the region. Algeria’s security forces know how to combat an Islamist insurgency and will continue striking at the militants, but as in many insurgencies, neither side is likely ever to defeat the other completely.)))

There’s ^^^ the realities, but you can sure make them wish they’d never brought the fight to the U.S.

(((The militants’ statement sounds serious, but was probably more for appearances than an actual indication of the group’s capabilities. As a militant group gets weaker, it often increases the amount of rhetoric that it puts out. If the group is capable of carrying out attacks, it will do so rather than threaten to do so.)))

(((Not only has the group suffered hard losses, there also have been reports of disagreements within the insurgency’s leadership.)))

(((Algiers has good reason to report — and even inflate — its successes against the militants. Algeria is trying to become a major player in the regional energy market, and a successful jihadist movement in the country would discourage foreign investment.)))

There’s ^^^ that strategic interest thing Paul keeps referencing.

(((Al Qaeda’s regional nodes overall have not been faring well. Nodes in Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Iraq have been weakened as security forces arrest commanders, disrupt plots and kill operatives. The North African node, which supposedly encompasses jihadist elements in Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and Libya, has spread itself too thin to be effective in any one location.)))

I’d talked to Dusty about the ecosmarte I just put in my pool. Replaces chlorine and salt. Love it. Runs the water through an oxidizer/copper ionator. Just have to keep the ph balanced and that’s it. It is so cool.

An excellent Stratfor analysis. Y’know, when the jihadists went about looking for a place to establish their caliphate, it seems they seriously underestimated the enthusiams with which the Muslim governments would welcome their plans. Another thing about Algeria - long, brutal, horrible civil war with the French. Had serious repercussions for the French (they made Abu Ghraib look like Miss Molly’s Tea Party). But the Algerians - they went from running the insurgency to now, being the government fighting the insurgency. Do ya think they may have a pretty good idea how to defeat their enemy?

(((Indeed, since the announcement, al Qaeda Organization for the Countries of the Arab Maghreb has not attacked any of the targets mentioned. In fact, less than week after issuing the threat the group lost one of its primary military advisers, Rachid Sid Ali, who was killed while fighting with government forces in Tizi Ouzou province. Ali was a major operational planner who is believed to have organized the twin suicide bombings in Algiers in April and a suicide attack against a convoy of soldiers in Bouira province in July. On Aug. 1, Algerian officials killed at least 30 militants, including fighters from Morocco, Libya and Tunisia, in Tebessa province. A week later, Algiers reported that its soldiers seized weapons and ammunition and killed nine militants, including a commander, in days of fighting in Bouira province.)))
