The Democratic National Committee has brilliant internet strategists without the assistance of an inept cable company. WORK IT ! Start Now ! Get the Young Dems up and rollin' and don't stop until Election Day. Thank you. Work it. Grassroots needs to sign up new voters. Poor are not to be overlooked as well as new voters elegable this November. Summer Sessions as colleges. Michael Moore could help with personal visits perhaps.
The CNN network is completely partisan. No sense to make any other assessment. They are an incompetent network. This blog has a long record of it. They pander to Bush as a propaganda network and are property of stockholders including Middle East Countries. It's over for CNN. They are not trustworthy with benevolence of the public.

Blair calls for end to insurgency on visit to Iraq
Updated Mon. May. 22 2006 6:44 PM ET
CTV.ca News Staff
During a surprise visit to Iraq, British Prime Minister Tony Blair says there is no longer any excuse for an armed insurgency now that Iraq's unity government exists.
Blair, the first world leader to visit Iraq since its new government was inaugurated two days ago, said Monday that if the insurgents wanted foreign troops to leave the country they should lay down their arms.
The British leader flew to Baghdad and was taken by helicopter to the fortified Green Zone for a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

The USA military is not in the hands of competent leadership. The Brits have redeployed to Afghanistan. It is upto Tony Blair to 'set the record straight' in regard to cooperative and competent leadership. Bush and Rumsfeld needs to bow out in the Afghanistan Theater turning the USA force to NATO and the Brits. There is no reason for these foul ups.

Mrs. Holloway is reaching out to teens. I think she is a great Mom with a great message for High Schoolers, especially on the way to a Pier Trips outside the country. Responsible behavior that brings maturity to life rather than 'partying.as a last act of a graduating young adult. Maturity at that point is a must. Sophistication rather than reckless behavior before life as an adult even begins.

The greatest threat to any large animal after surgery is infection due to reduced circulation with reduced movement of the limb. A frequent swim across a pool will provide weightless exercise enhancing the circulation to the extremities. Colice of inactivity is a potential issue. I like a bran mash with mineral oil for horses injured or under the weather mixed with their usual feed nutrition and preference. A hungry boy will eat when he smells and tastes familiar ingredients. Carrots and anpples are a great incentive, too. He'll do well. I know he will. He's loved by many.

Gitmo Returnees Face Trial: NaifArab News
JEDDAH, 23 May 2006 — Saudi Arabia will put on trial its 15 Gitmo returnees after establishing their involvement in terrorist activities through interrogation, Interior Minister Prince Naif announced yesterday before leaving for Abu Dhabi to attend a GCC meeting.
“It’s premature to talk about it now,” the prince commented when a reporter asked him whether the Saudi returnees from the US detention camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba would be given back their government jobs.
“First of all, they will undergo investigation to establish whether they were involved in any terrorist activity or not. After that they will be transferred to court for trial,” the Saudi Press Agency quoted the minister as saying.
Prince Naif confirmed reports about the upcoming visits of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah to the Kingdom’s different regions.

Boehner was chairperson of the Senate committe on mines including their safety before becoming majority leader of the Seante. The deaths continue in USA mines as he washes hands of the involvement with them.
Connections to lobbyists
In 1995, Boehner provoked contentions of unethical conduct when he distributed money from tobacco industry lobbyists on the House floor to members who had voted in favor of tobacco interests. He later led the effort to change House rules and prohibit such practices from occurring. Boehner is also well known for chain smoking cigarettes -- even in his Capitol office. [2]
Boehner's PAC has raised $31,500 from four Indian tribes who at one time were associated with lobbyist Jack Abramoff[3], who is currently the central figure in an unfolding lobbying scandal. Boehner and spokesmen for the Indian tribes maintain that the contributions were not related to Jack Abramoff.
On February 8, 2006, it was learned that Boehner's Capitol Hill apartment is rented at market rates from a Washington lobbyist [4]. Boehner did not deny his close ties to "K Street" lobbyists and claims that his relationships are ethical. These claims are under investigation.
[edit]
Lawsuit against Congressman McDermott
Boehner is currently involved in a lawsuit, first filed in 1998, against fellow Congressman Jim McDermott — the first such case ever between two sitting Congressmen. Boehner v. McDermott centers on the release by McDermott to the media of an illegally taped conference call between Boehner, Newt Gingrich, and other Republican Congressional leaders. The call was a discussion of strategy over an investigation of Gingrich by the House Ethics Committee. [5] Gingrich had publicly pledged not to organize opposition to the probe. McDermott was ordered to pay $60,000 to Boehner in addition to attorney fees and costs and this verdict was upheld on appeal. [1]

US firm continues legal challenge to DP World
By Shakir Husain, Staff Reporter
Dubai: Unfazed by its failure to block DP World's acquisition of P&O in British courts, American firm Eller, a joint venture partner of P&O Ports North America at the port of Miami, is continuing its litigation against the deal in the United States.
DP World sources in Dubai and Washington yesterday told Gulf News that there was "nothing new" about Eller & Co's legal challenge. They declined comment on the ongoing court case. "Their arguments against the deal were rejected earlier," one source said, referring to Eller's petition in the London High Court. The court ruled that Eller's case against the P&O sale lacked merit.
Eller wants a state judge to undo the $6.8-billion sale under which DP World acquired container operations at six key US ports.
