Dali Lama Honored in DC to China's Chagrin

The 14th Dali Lama, a man of peace and great wisdom was given The Congressional Gold Medal, the highest honor bestowed on civilians by the U.S. Govt. Sounds like Bush got some 'splainin' ta do cuz China ain't none too happy. Considering the extent they have a grip on our economy, this could have far-reaching implications. I do appreciate any support for Tibetan Autonomy and any attention to their plight at the cruel hands of intolerant on the world stage. Yet, considering the tensions that are threatening global stability, causing a stir is, perhaps, unwise at this juncture. Still, I support a free Tibet, or at least an autonomous one.

Change Comes to the Northlands

The direct impact of climate change is very real to the good People of the Snows. As their Homes, Towns and Way of Life melt into the past, the pain and anxiety they face is daunting. Check out these photos and a great story, courtesy Mother Jones.

Photo Essay: Sea Change
Julia Whitty and Robert Knoth Reportage by Getty Images September/October 2007 Issue

Get used to it: real estate falling into the sea. And not just beach houses and seaside time-shares. Think towns and cities. These images of Shishmaref village on Alaska's remote west coast reveal the tip of a terrain melting so fast it will carry whole cultures away with it—rich and poor, polluters and nonpolluters, all vulnerable to the great leveler, the ocean. You think South Pacific island nations and remote Arctic outposts will be the only victims? Wrong. Because no matter what we do on the carbon emissions front in the coming decades, the world ocean is forecast to warm and rise for the next millennium or more. Pictures like these will soon be commonplace

In Shishmaref, calamity has already arrived. The village of 600 Inupiaq lies on the fragile barrier island of Sarichef, where sea ice forms later each year, exposing the land to autumn storms that carve away 50 feet or more of shoreline a season. Two houses have slipped into the sea; 18 others have been moved back from the encroaching ocean; others buckle from the melting permafrost. Ten million dollars has been spent on seawalls, to no avail. Residents have concluded permanent resettlement is their only option. But considering America has yet to seriously tackle New Orleans' sea-level problems, no one on this distant edge of the Chukchi Sea imagines the $180 million needed to relocate Shishmaref will be easy to come by. And Shishmaref is not alone. A 2004 Government Accountability Office report found that of Alaska's 213 Native villages, 184 are battling floods and erosion, while another assessment foresees that in the coming decades, Alaska will require $6.1 billion to repair global warming's domino effect of fallen bridges, burst sewer pipes, and disintegrating roads. Worldwide, the situation is more dire, more expensive: Oxfam suggests the United States owes $22 billion, or 44 percent—our polluting share—of the $50 billion needed each year for poor nations to adapt to climate change.

Pelosi Draws a Line in the Sand(box)...

Speaker Pelosi has "come out swinging" against allegations that Congress is "kissing up" to GWB & Co. No one really thinks that, do they? I mean, what would give you that idea? Obviously the Madam Speaker is using this opportunity to spin, I, er, I mean clarify her position on the whole Iran thing. Courtesy Reuters via Raw Story.

Pelosi: Bush "must come to Congress" before attacking Iran
David Edwards and Greg Wasserstrom
Published: Sunday October 14, 2007
In an interview on ABC's This Week, Speaker Pelosi tells George Stephanopoulos that President Bush must get the approval of Congress before proceeding with an attack on Iran.

Just this week, the Senate passed a non-binding resolution designating Iran's Republican Guard as a terrorist organization in a move many observers fear will give President Bush the authority he needs to attack Iran. Pelosi disagrees, and doesn't plan on bringing up such a measure in the house.

"We don't believe that any of the authority the President has would allow him to go in without an act of Congress," she said, adding that the War Powers Act of the 1970s gives any president the power to retaliate against a country that has attacked the US. "But short of that," Pelosi said, "he must come to the Congress."

When asked about the Senate vote, Pelosi noted that it is unprecendented to declare a piece of another country's military a terrorist organization. She said, "Whatever Iran's impact is on our troops in Iraq should be dealt with in Iraq."

The Day of the Living Nightmare

Yet another Retired General has a bad report on Iraq. This time it was Gen. Sanchez, former commander of all forces in theater. The man is a decorated hero and career soldier, even if he was tainted by the Abu Ghraib prison scandal earning him the nickname "Dirty" Sanchez. More, courtesy of AP via The Drudge Report.

Oct 13, 7:48 AM (ET)

By STEVEN KOMAROW ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - The U.S. mission in Iraq is a "nightmare with no end in sight" because of political misjudgments after the fall of Saddam Hussein that continue today, a former chief of U.S.-led forces said Friday. Retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, who commanded coalition troops for a year beginning June 2003, cast a wide net of blame for both political and military shortcomings in Iraq that helped open the way for the insurgency - such as disbanding the Saddam-era military and failing to cement ties with tribal leaders and quickly establish civilian government after Saddam was toppled.
He called current strategies - including the deployment of 30,000 additional forces earlier this year - a "desperate attempt" to make up for years of misguided policies in Iraq.
"There is no question that America is living a nightmare with no end in sight," Sanchez told a group of journalists covering military affairs.

The Right Reverend Rubberized Homo-Hypocrite

Folks, I'd like to take a little time to relate a very sad, sad story. If you are a regular reader of The MUFF Report, you know that I am both a deeply spiritual person, yet sharply critical of all organized religions. Christianity is as valid a path to enlightenment and salvation as any other at it's core. Jesus' teachings, stripped of Pauline smegma and myopic, intolerant, apocalyptic dogma, point the way to a spiritual life where the needs of the poor and underprivileged are more important than what people do in the bedroom or who they do it with. Forgiveness and "judging not" are keystones in the foundation of His Gospel. Love, long suffering and nonviolent, is His Law. Jesus spoke against hypocrites, not homosexuals, which leads us to the sad, sad story of one of Reverend Jerry Falwell's top pastors in the Moral Majority that I am obliged to share, courtesy of The Smoking Gun.

OCTOBER 8--An Alabama minister who died in June of "accidental mechanical asphyxia" was found hogtied and wearing two complete wet suits, including a face mask, diving gloves and slippers, rubberized underwear, and a head mask, according to an autopsy report. Investigators determined that Rev. Gary Aldridge's death was not caused by foul play and that the 51-year-old pastor of Montgomery's Thorington Road Baptist Church was alone in his home at the time he died (while apparently in the midst of some autoerotic undertaking).

Aldridge served as the church's pastor for 16 years. Immediately following his death, church officials issued a press release asking community members to "please refrain from speculation" about what led to Aldridge's demise, adding that, "we will begin the healing process under the strong arm of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

"While the Montgomery Advertiser, which first obtained the autopsy records, reported on Aldridge's two wet suits, the family newspaper chose not to mention what police discovered inside the minister's rubber briefs.

Well, if you have the stomach, link here for the rest of the story. The thing that I don't get is, how did he hogtie himself? Plus his rubberized homoerotic fetish gear (which would seem difficult to suit up alone) and ass-packer are illegal (to buy) in Alabama! Some one should check on Rev. Haggard to make sure he wasn't down in Bama...

Whats up all you people? I just wanted to blog about our show last night. Well, we really needed that vibe! It was great to see everyone and share all of that fun with the crowd. I love that feeling of connecting with everyone. I kind of felt sorry for Chris Marsh, our bass player. Chris currently has a hernia and had to sit in a chair all night and play his bass. All the guys pitched in to move his equipment for him as well. Chris has a surgery scheduled sometime this month. Hopefully in a few months he will be back to his old rocking self and be able to move around again like he used to.

Here are some funny takes from the show last night:

Pronunc-i-cator in Chief

President Bush's UN speech with the phonetic spelling of many words was posted by accident on the UN website. When questioned about the President's language skills, or lack thereof by some in the press corps, White House spokesperson Dana Perino expressed outrage at the question but declined to answer the query. Of course, the on-line "error" was soon corrected, but not without causing some chaos and laughter first. Courtesy RawStory...

US President George W. Bush says "nuke-you-lar" not "nuclear," but on Tuesday visitors to the United Nations Internet site could get a handy, abbreviated presidential pronunciation guide for other challenging words.

A quickly remedied glitch momentarily gave visitors to the UN website a version of Bush's UN General Assembly speech that included phonetic spellings for world leaders, a former Soviet satellite, and at least one capital.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is "sar-KO-zee." Mauritania should be said "moor-EH-tain-ee-a." Kyrgyzstan sounds like "KEYR-geez-stan." And the capital of Zimbabwe President Robert "moo-GAH-bee" Mugabe is Harare "hah-RAR-ray."

White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said such phonetic guidance is common but curtly rebuffed a questioner who wanted to know whether Bush has a hard time with certain names: "I think that's a offensive question. I'm going to just decline to comment on it."

"I don't know how the draft of the speech -- it was not final -- was posted, but it was, and it was taken down. There's really nothing more to say about it," she told reporters.

Ironically, one of the hardest names to pronounce, that of Myanmar democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, was not written out in phonetic form, and Bush only briefly stumbled over it before getting it right.

Bush Picks Hillary to Win Nomination

In his Infinite Wisdom, Duh Prez'dint has "picked a winner", so to speak. This story is ala Drudge Report.

Bill Sammon in the bombshell book, EVANGELICAL PRESIDENT, set for release Monday. “And therefore the person with the national presence, who has got the ability to raise enough money to sustain an effort in a multiplicity of sites, has got a good chance to be nominated.”

Breaking his vow not to play “pundit-in-chief” in the 2008 presidential race, Bush tells Sammon that Clinton ultimately will be defeated in the general election by the Republican nominee.

“I think our candidate can beat her, but it's going to be a tough race,” the president predicted in an Oval Office interview. “I will work to see to it that a Republican wins, and therefore don't accept the premise that a Democrat will win. I truly think the Republicans will hold the White House.

MORE...

Current and former Bush advisers sounded less certain. “It's going to be a very close election,” said Karl Rove, who until this month was the president's top political strategist. “We are at this very narrow divide in politics.

The election “could go either way,” Vice President Cheney told Sammon, senior White House correspondent for the WASHINGTON EXAMINER, which will begin running excerpts from the book Monday. “Right now, we're sort of in the area where we're pretty evenly balanced on both sides

As for Obama, a senior White House official said the freshman senator from Illinois was “capable” of the intellectual rigor needed to win the presidency but instead relies too heavily on his easy charm.

“It's sort of like, 'that's all I need to get by,' which bespeaks sort of a condescending attitude towards the voters,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. “And a laziness, an intellectual laziness.”

Autumnal Equinox Edition

Happy Mabon, Blessed Be!!!

Today is The Autumnal Equinox, the first day of Fall. Here is a definition of this sacred day from wicca.com

Mabon, (pronounced MAY-bun, MAY-bone, MAH-boon, or MAH-bawn) is the Autumn Equinox. The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year's crops. The Druids call this celebration, Mea'n Fo'mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he prepares for death and re-birth.

Dollar Dives Down, Down...

Our beloved dollar is sinking in value against other foreign currencies, AP reports. Here are some excerpts from the story...

NEW YORK (AP) — The dollar hit a new low against the seemingly unstoppable euro Friday as the 13-nation currency broke through $1.41.

The currency of the 13 euro nations, which have more than 317 million residents and account for more than 15 percent of global gross domestic product, surged as high as $1.4119 before falling back to $1.4083 by late afternoon, above the $1.4076 it bought in New York on Thursday.

The U.S. dollar fell further against the Canadian dollar after reaching parity for the first time since 1976 on Thursday. One Canadian dollar bought $1.0068 in U.S. currency at its highest point Friday before edging down to 99.95 U.S. cents in late New York trading, barely beating 99.93 U.S. cents late Thursday.

The American currency weakened sharply this week on the back of a decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut its benchmark rate by a bigger-than-expected half point to 4.75 percent. The central bank was responding to market turbulence in the U.S. and elsewhere in the fallout from the subprime mortgage crisis. (Read full story)

As I've said for some time: "Recent rapid home equity increases will eventually self-correct, (due to the global market pressures of trade deficits, war spending, tax cuts for the rich, no-bid contracts, corruption etc.), by dramatically depreciating in value, coupled with big interest rate increases and inflation of consumer goods and services."

Or put another way, way back in Feb. 2005, courtesy The Left Coaster:

We've found ourselves in a vicious circle:

- The value of the dollar falls, which means oil exporters increase the price in dollars so they still get the same value. We keep buying the oil regardless and send even more dollars overseas, which increases the trade imbalance and drives the value of the dollar down further. Lather, rise, repeat.

- As the dollar drops, foreign central banks don't want to be the last ones holding dollars (like South Korea), so they reduce their dollar holdings. Demand for the dollar drops, so the dollar falls, putting more pressure on foreign central banks to dump their losing investment in America. Lather, rise, repeat.

- As the dollar drops, inflation and interest rates increase, reducing Americans' buying power and consumption, stalling the American economy. A weaker economy increases the federal budget deficit, increasing the need for foreign buyers of U.S. treasury bonds, which raises interest rates and decreases the value of the dollar. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Trouble, trouble, boil and housing bubble... just wait until the interest rates double! In anticipation of currency depreciation, Big Biz uses inflation to ensure their own cash creation, pimpin' Lexus cars, takin' private jets to fabulous vacation spots so hot they got-a-lot, Empire built on pretense, it defies common sense that we let them do this, at our expense... Word up, Meshers OUT!!!

Go, Go Greenspan!!!

Former Head Fed Alan Greenspan has dropped a bomb upon the Repugna-cant Party in his new book, The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World.

The lifelong conservative reveals his personal, if redacted opinions and recollections about former presidents he's served under, the Iraq War, the housing bubble, irresponsible spending and power-mongering by the GOP-led congress leading to, in his own opinion, a deserved ouster last November, and an admission that the real motive in going to war was control of the Iraqi oil supply, just to point out a few highlights.

He has since tried to distance himself from an outright accusation of Bush's complicity, but does not reverse his opinion, and has decried as "unfair" liberal bloggers using his words to support the contention that GWB and Co. lied about the reasons for the invasion.

He also warns of a future shift from dollars to euros as the "reserve currency of choice." A devaluation of American currency of this magnitude would cripple the nation, resulting in a breakdown of the basic services that we, as a society, have come to rely on. His predictions are dire and the solutions are not simple.

The rats are jumping ship again, it would seem. Why this guy would wait to tell us this relevant information until after he stepped down seems disingenuous at best. Oh well, at least they cut the prime rate so we can go deeper in debt!!! Meshers OUT!!!

Vag-i-terian Rice and Bean Butt-rito with Hypocrite Sauce!

Wow, the depth of hypocrisy within the Repugna-can Party is reaching new lows. Case in point, take Ms.Condi Rice. Two articles I just read on RawStory.com elucidate the stark divide...

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice co-owned a home and shared a line of credit with another woman, according to Washington Post diplomatic correspondent Glenn Kessler, who reveals the information in his new book, The Confidante: Condoleezza Rice and the Creation of the Bush Legacy.

Kessler discussed the revelations with talk-show host and gay author Michaelangelo Signorile Friday on his Sirius Radio show.

According to the book, Rice owns a home together with Ms. Randy Bean, a documentary filmmaker who once worked with Bill Moyers. Kessler made the discovery by looking through real estate records.

Bean explained the joint ownership and line of credit to Kessler by saying she had medical bills which left her financially drained and Rice helped her by co-purchasing the house along with a third person, Coit Blacker, a Stanford professor who is openly gay.

Blacker later sold his line of credit to Rice and Bean.
When asked about the revelations on Signorile's show, Kessler "said he did not know if this meant there was something more to the relationship between the woman beyond a friendship."
Rice faced attacks from liberals in the gay community over the State Department's reluctance to rebuke Iran for the hanging of gay teenagers. The gay rights lobby Human Rights Campaign called on Rice in 2005 to condemn Iran's human rights abuses after the hanging of two gay teenagers, and to express indignation over "other horrific human rights abuses against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people across the globe."

Rice did not.
Signorile excerpted a brief quote from Kessler's book on his blog.

"After she became secretary of state, she came to a party at Blacker's house, kicked off her shoes, and began dancing through the night to rock and and roll," Kessler wrote. "Blacker, who is gay, wanted to show his partner how tight her behind is; he postulated that if he aimed a quarter at her butt, it would bounce off like a rocket. He was right. Rice, who was dancing, didn't realize what he had done until everyone began laughing hysterically. She was flattered -- and proud."
Secretary Rice has typified the juxtaposition that many Republicans have between their public and private lives," Hudson said. "Privately, she is very supportive of gays. "Condoleeza Rice may or may not be gay but she is in a relationship which legitimately raises these kinds of questions. Before he took office, the president and first lady had close relationships with a number of gay men, including Charles Francis, whose brother managed Bush's reelection campaign for Texas governor."

Now contrast this article with the previous one, and you will see the horrific double standard perpetrated by the Religious Reich-Wing....

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Religious freedom conditions have worsened in insurgency-wracked Iraq as well as Egypt, while communist China has embarked on a crackdown on foreign missionaries ahead of the Olympics, the US government warned in a report Friday.
The State Department's annual report on religious freedoms around the world also noted "continued deterioration of the extremely poor status of respect for religious freedom" in Iran and highlighted "serious problems" in Pakistan.
Religious freedom is "integral to our efforts to combat the ideology of hatred and religious intolerance that fuels global terrorism," said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as she launched the 800-page report in Washington.

"Many individuals from various religious groups were targeted because of their religious identity or their secular leanings," it said of the situation in Iraq where US troops are facing an uphill battle to restore order.

In Egypt, a key US ally, respect for religious freedom has "declined," the report said, citing particularly a court ruling this year that reinstated a policy not to provide a legal means for converts from Islam to Christianity to amend their civil records.

The report also highlighted religious repression in China, which reportedly expelled more than 100 foreign missionaries in the spring of 2007 in what some groups alleged was a "government-initiated" campaign to tighten control on Christian house churches ahead of the Olympics next year.
The "Report on International Religious Freedom," transmitted to Congress Friday, is a precursor to the announcement each year of a blacklist of countries "of particular concern" that are subject to US sanctions for religious repression.
Iran headed last year's list alongside China, Eritrea, Myanmar, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Uzbekistan.

So in closing, the hypocrisy reeks to hell and these two-faced, closeted creeps pander to the "vote values" crowd while indulging in the very vices they legislate against. You know, one of these days I hope every one of these cock-suckers get caught! Meshers OUT!!!

The "Official" Explanation

Isn't it strange how there's an "official" explanation for every odd occurrence or seemingly evil government conspiracy? Lone and wacky gunmen like Lee Harvey and his magic bullet, those damn weather balloons, Gulf o' Tonkin, Remember the Maine, Pearl Harbor, who coulda knew, just to name a few. Well here we go again, courtesy RawStory....

Shortly before 10 am on the morning of September 11, 2001, amid rumors of a fourth hijacked plane headed for Washington, DC, a mystery aircraft appeared in restricted airspace over the White House. There has never been an official explanation for this incident, which has provided abundant fuel for 9/11 conspiracy theories.
CNN has now learned from two government sources that the mystery plane was a military aircraft and has determined that the blurry image on video appears to match photos of the Air Force's E-4B (discussed here on Wikipedia), a specially modified Boeing 747 with a communications pod behind the cockpit.

"The E-4B is a state of the art flying command post," CNN explained, "built and equipped for one reason -- to keep the government running no matter what, even in the event of a nuclear war, the reason it was nicknamed the 'doomsday plane' during the Cold War."
CNN acknowledges that, despite its identification, the absence of the aircraft from official investigations, together with the Pentagon's denial that it was a military plane and the insistence by the Pentagon, Secret Service, and FAA that they have no explanation for the incident, may continue to raise suspicions.

Not to mention the statistical likelihood of three buildings falling in their footprint, one of which wasn't even hit by a plane! Jet fuel, give me a break! PNAC wrote a few years prior that a "Pearl Harbor-like" event was needed to galvanize the American people, and voila there you have it. Meshers OUT!!!!

8.4 Mag Quake Hits Sumatra

This is the fourth big quake these guys have had since 2000. The Pacific Rim is moving, and we here in the S.F. Bay area must take note. The possibility of a major quake either here or in L.A. is almost a certainty in our lives, and definitely in 100 years. Courtesy Breitbart.com

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - A powerful earthquake shook Indonesia on Wednesday, killing seven people, injuring 100 and triggering a small tsunami that hit one city on the island of Sumatra, authorities said. Tsunami warnings were issued for much of the Indian Ocean region
The 8.4-magnitude quake off Sumatra badly damaged buildings along the coast and could be felt in at least four countries, with tall buildings swaying as far as 1,200 miles away.
It was followed by a series of aftershocks, the strongest of which registered at a magnitude of 6.6 and triggered a second tsunami alert for Indonesia, which was lifted about an hour later, said Suhardjono, an official with Indonesia's meteorological agency, who goes by only one name.
At least seven people were killed in three Sumatran towns, Social Affairs Department official Felix Valentino told the news portal detik.com. Phone lines and electricity also were cut. Most of the damage appeared to be from the quake.
A wave of up to 9 feet was reported to have struck the city of Padang about 20 minutes after the initial quake, Suhardjono said.

The earth is moving and changing. Take care to be prepared for what may come your way.

9/11, Six Years Later

Where are we as a nation six years after the tragedy of that fateful September day? Are our ports and borders more secure? Have we forged alliances and maintained the good-will of the people of the world? Have we done anything to divest from middle-eastern oil or develop new strategies and technology to deliver clean, domestically produced energy and transportation? Has anyone seen Bin Laden, other than in these periodic prerecorded appearances? Has there been any serious, independent inquiry into what really happened that day? The answer is NO.

An area of Arctic sea ice the size of Florida has melted away in just the last six days as melting at the top of the planet continues at a record rate.

2007 has already broken the record for the lowest amount of sea ice ever recorded, say scientists, smashing the old record set in 2005.

This is baaad news the way I see it. Meshers OUT!!!!!

Now a Few Words From Brother Russell

Good morning everyone. I awoke this morning with my subconcious mind still reverberating in my head. The Great Spirit always communicating in dreams. I wanted to share this version of the song "Celebrate" with you. I posted it a couple of days ago, but I took the best part of it and posted it here. It's really amazing to me how the 4 of us can merge musically in a song that we have never played together as a band. I want to thank all of the guys for giving me the space to be my strange self. I also want to thank them for having the courage to be themselves and be honest. Honesty is so rare these days. We are lucky to have this brotherhood of music. Thank you guys. I love you all - Chris, Carl, and Laird.

I thought I'd share this vintage 1997 pic of Russell and me (Meshers) rocking out at the Moonlight in Santa Rosa for a great crowd. The logo behind us is a band name we've been tossing around lately, I came up with a logo, so if you like it or hate it we'd like to know, so please email us! innerrhythmstudios@sbcglobal.net
PEACE MESHERS OUT!!!!

Hole in the Sky

"Hole in the sky, take me to heaven Window in time, through it I fly..." Wow like, Sabbath knew all along, dude....

A cold spot highlighted in blue shows the location of a giant hole in the Universe devoid of galaxies, stars and even dark matter in an image courtesy of the University of Minnesota. The colors represent very small variations (parts in 100,000) around the average temperature of 2.7 degrees above absolute zero, with blue colors being colder.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A giant hole in the Universe is devoid of galaxies, stars and even lacks dark matter, astronomers said on Thursday.
The team at the University of Minnesota said the void is nearly a billion light-years across and they have no idea why it is there.
"Not only has no one ever found a void this big, but we never even expected to find one this size," said astronomy professor Lawrence Rudnick.
"What we've found is not normal, based on either observational studies or on computer simulations of the large-scale evolution of the Universe,"
The void is in a region of sky in the constellation Eridanus, southwest of Orion.

I thought the biggest void in the universe was between this guy's ears! I mean, let's face it, this is the worst shape the world has been in since I can remember. This is the worst administration ever, the environment is in a bad way, war after needless war we dance the dance that is the Kali Yuga. I pray that all Sentient Beings attain liberation from Samsara.

Nutzo McNugent

This guy gives all rockers a bad name. I mean, if a lefty musician threatened to kill a Republican nominee with a machine gun, let alone the whole field of their front-runners and two of their sitting Senators, the RNC, MSM and their Reich-wing radio shills would raise the rancor to high heaven, call for criminal charges, make commercials, you know how they do... The hypocrisy makes me wanna barf! Excerpts courtesy of RawStory.

At a recent stop on his "Love Grenade 2007 Shrapnel Tour," rocker Ted Nugent tossed some rhetorical bombs at a few top Democrats, and possible future gubernatorial candidate joked about executing the most prominent African American politician in a generation.
"Obama, he's a piece of shit, and I told him to suck on my machine gun," Nugent said in front of a screaming crowd as he brandishes what appear to be two large assault rifles. He was referring to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination and would become the first black man to occupy the Oval Office
"Hey Hillary, you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless bitch," Nugent said, brandishing his weapons.

He also went after Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), suggesting she, too, might like to "suck on my machine gun." Nugent's tirade against California's other Democratic Senator, Diane Feinstein, is too garbled to transcribe, but one can hear Nugent call her a "whore."

Everyone should make a point to boycott this crack-head as well as call our Representatives in congress and ask them to start an inquiry into the hate speech and death-threats of one Ted Nugent. Meshers OUT!!!

US Mercenary Force in Iraq at All-Time High

Well, if this doesn't bring your tin foil hat out of retirement, then you've recycled it...Thanks to RawStory, again.

"The United States has set a new precedent in its reliance on private contractors to perform dangerous military duties in Iraq, reports the Washington Post in its Monday edition.
Writes the Congressional Research Service in a recent report: "Iraq appears to be the first case where the U.S. government has used private contractors extensively for protecting persons and property in potentially hostile or hostile situations where host country security forces are absent or deficient."

Of these contractors said to perform "functions once carried by the U.S. military," recently gauged at 127,000, less than 20 percent were Americans.The entire article can be read HERE.

US to use spy satellites on Americans

"I am the Eye in the Sky, looking at you, I can read your mind." This has to be Big Brother at his worst, excerpts courtesy of The Washington Post...

By Joby Warrick
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, August 16, 2007

The Bush administration has approved a plan to expand domestic access to some of the most powerful tools of 21st-century spycraft, giving law enforcement officials and others the ability to view data obtained from satellite and aircraft sensors that can see through cloud cover and even penetrate buildings and underground bunkers.

Although the federal government has long permitted the use of spy-satellite imagery for certain scientific functions -- such as creating topographic maps or monitoring volcanic activity -- the administration's decision would provide domestic authorities with unprecedented access to high-resolution, real-time satellite photos.
They could also have access to much more. A statement issued yesterday by the Department of Homeland Security said that officials envision "more robust access" not only to imagery but also to "the collection, analysis and production skills and capabilities of the intelligence community."
The beneficiaries may include "federal, state, local and tribal elements" involved in emergency preparedness and response or "enforcement of criminal and civil laws." The "tribal" reference was to Native Americans who conduct semiautonomous law enforcement operations on reservations.
Under the new program, the DHS will create a subordinate agency to be known as the National Applications Office. The new office, which has gained the backing of congressional intelligence and appropriations committees, is responsible for coordinating requests for access to intelligence by civilian agencies. Previously, an agency known as the Civilian Applications Committee facilitated access to satellite imagery for geologic study.
Oversight of the department's use of the overhead imagery data would come from officials in the Department of Homeland Security and from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and would consist of reviews by agency inspectors general, lawyers and privacy officers. "We can give total assurance" that Americans' civil liberties will be protected, Allen said. "Americans shouldn't have any concerns about it."
But civil liberties groups quickly condemned the move, which Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies, a nonprofit activist group, likened to "Big Brother in the sky." "They want to turn these enormous spy capabilities, built to be used against overseas enemies, onto Americans," Martin said. "They are laying the bricks one at a time for a police state."
Steven Aftergood, director of the Project on Government Secrecy for the Federation of American Scientists, said that the data could be useful but that oversight for the program was woefully inadequate. Enhanced access "shouldn't be adopted at all costs because it comes with risk to privacy and to the integrity of our political institutions," he said.

Hmmm... I wonder if anyone would abuse the power of the all-seeing eye? Surely not. Meshers OUT!!!

Karl Rove Resigns

This just in, courtesy Raw Story:

Karl Rove will resign from his position in the Bush Administration and return to Texas Aug. 31, according to an interview published Monday with Paul Gigot, editorial page editor for The Wall Street Journal.When asked by Gigot whether he's leaving "to avoid Congressional scrutiny?" he said, "I know they'll say that. But I'm not going to stay or leave based on whether it pleases the mob." Mr. Rove, who has held a senior post in the White House since President Bush took office in January 2001, told Mr. Gigot he first floated the idea of leaving a year ago. But he delayed his departure as, first, Democrats took Congress, and then as the White House tackled debates on immigration and Iraq, he said. He said he decided to leave after White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten told senior aides that if they stayed past Labor Day they would be obliged to remain through the end of the president's term in January 2009.

I'm sure he's merely going to "spend more time with the family" or some shit.... Here is a guy who would hate to be frog-marched before Congress in chains. Could he be heading over to Fred Thompson's place for a "chat"?

Please chime in and email me at meshers23@yahoo.com and share your ideas for a cool band name. On August 15, I will post a poll and let the people speak. The winner will receive an IRStudios production bundle of their choice, so let me know what you think.

7.5 Quake Rocks Indonesia

Could secret, deep-earth tomographic imaging technology used to locate petroleum deposits be triggering earthquakes? Or could oil lubricate portions of the crust and lessen earthquake intensity? It seems like anything is possible. Conspiracy Snausage fer sure! From CNN

JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) -- A powerful earthquake shook buildings and caused panic on the densely-populated Indonesian island of Java, but there have been no reports of injuries and no tsunami alert. The quake, measured at magnitude 7.5 by the U.S. Geological Survey, struck shortly after midnight in a part of the sea dotted with oil rig platforms, Financial Times journalist John Aglionby told CNN International. According to CNN's Kathy Quiano, the shaking caused many in the capital to flee their homes. "We felt the earthquake in Jakarta, it was pretty strong and went on for at least a minute." "It was pretty strong and scary," Quiano said. "People are shaken, that's for certain." And Aglionby said there were still concerns for the many oil rigs exploiting the resource rich waters off the north coast of Java.

Beltway Betrayal

Democrats, bowing to pressure from the White House, passed legislation to give the prez expanded spying powers late yesterday. The move created a stir with the ACLU and other groups who support constitutional freedoms over fear of terrorism. It seems the spinelessness continues in spite of the double majority in Congress, and the polls showing a real dissatisfaction with our collective direction. We can defeat violent radicals with our dignity and liberty intact. Fortunately, this is a temporary measure, so let's hope we regain a firm grip on the reins of our great nation as soon as possible. Take back your power, VOTE!

Incompetence Reigns Supreme

You know, it really is a sign of the times when foolish, incompetent assholes control the government of the most powerful nation on Earth. Although I only advocate continued employment of competent government officials, I do not support a revisionist policy which disrupts the function of essential social and defense related programs. Everyone completes everyone else, or at least we bring each other into context within the relativistic scenario we find ourselves in. The fact of the matter rests on the foundations of wisdom enshrined in the heart of compassion. Enough rambling on and on, lets sharpen the barb, if you will. These stories have reared their ugly heads and now, here they are for your perusal...

Incompetence exhibit #1: Alberto Gonzales lying under oath.

Incompetence exhibit #2: Minneapolis Bridge Disaster was preventable.

Incompetence exhibit #3: Katrina aftermath is still a disgrace.

Incompetence exhibit #4: War in Iraq now seen to reach $1 trillion dollars!

Incompetence exhibit #5: Global Warming science politicized.

We all know what's up. Be active, call your Representative for all our sakes and vote! Get out there and tell people the truth and to pay attention! Meshers OUT!

Post-Traumatic Show Disorder

Good Morning fellow MUFF Divers. I have a strange story to share. Here goes...

Once upon a time in the land of NorCal, a Great Race was held. Racers from all around the realm came to compete for the Great Prize, yea they were driven... as it were. Anyway, the race was a three day event, and the second night at the campgrounds had always been a celebration of life and the living of it on the edge, rife with revelry and song. For the last seven years, a band of minstrels had came to entertain the flock of racing fans who faithfully came to support the Great Race year after year, after year. Though the band had tried everything to maintain it's equilibrium, it's cohesion gave way to chaos. Personal problems and apathy set in. It seemed no one could help Greckels and Karhole, the remnant of this once proud band of minstrels. Then one day, as luck would have it a grand minstrel came on the scene. Due to the lack of demand for full time musicians, these sad saps worked at a local car dealership. So anyway, this guy known throughout the realm as The Brewman worked there and ended up playing his mighty git-fiddle with the merry minstrels and it was good. A few weeks later, the holder of the Sacred Bass Space was unable to perform for the full length of a practice session. Brewman, in his uncanny wisdom called forth, yea summoned the Mahameshers, Bass God of Space. So the Ancient Team wove their magic into a web so integral, the band of gay blades er, um... I mean Merry Minstrels felt that if only the Mahameshers would join them, then The Great Race would be that truly fulfilling celebration once again. Shortly after Mahameshers supplanted that other guy, the band was learning and practicing the songs with a spirit and accuracy unknown to them before. Then one day, the Greckels dropped a bomb on the scene. He had a personal issue arise and no longer could croon his tunes with these crazy bastards any more. Though saddened(hunh?) by their loss, the band continued to practice on and on and on(like Chris Marsh). The Three attained a cohesive synergy unmatched in all the realm, yet something was missing. One day an odd fellow called Friar Lairdwick met the Brewman by chance, and their mutual love of the aforementioned git-fiddle soon became obvious to them both. Lairdwick soon brought his Mystic Midi Git-Fiddle to the band's studio and, after a protracted duel with the Big Bri-guy, (a talented minstrel who'd once played with Greckels and Karhole, and also vied for the position) began to play with these crazy bastards. Soon they were playing at a local pub on a regular basis where the people loved them and danced late into the night. As the Great Race neared, Greckels suddenly, somehow achieved a reprieve and rejoined the band. The day of the Great Race arrived. Lord Marcos of Nitro and his minions set the stage and then the band of five began to play. Slowly at first, the magic swirled through the air. People started to gather around the stage and dancing and revelry ensued. But then, some knucklehead started a small brawl which brought the police. After an impassioned plea from one of the Racers, a stay of execution was granted and the band began to play again. The throng cheered and screamed as one. Still the violence erupted again and this time, the show was over. A fair maiden had an eye for the Brewman and whisked him away to the safety of her loins. The rest of the band returned to their homes except for the Mahameshers, who sat there under the stars and meditated on the emptiness of phenomena and upon attaining a subtle enlightenment, imprinted the account you read now into the akashic record for all time. He foresaw the band was entering a new phase of evolution, and that is a legend that has yet to be written.

This is a crop circle with a 197 ft. diameter discovered by a pilot on July 02, 2007 in Switzerland. A Swiss govt. expert contends it is not a fake, as it's size and geometric precision alone is impossible to duplicate with any of the known methods of faux-crop circle creation. Apparently the circular paradox appeared over night. A very strange thing, indeed. Maybe someone's trying to tell us something.... Peace!!!

Inner Rhythm Studios has a great selection. Greetings everyone. Well, here we are just a day away from our biggest jam of the summer. Tomorrow we will be jamming for the masses. It's going to be fully documented. Laird has 3 video cameras that are going to shoot the show. My Roland 880ex will record the audio out of the sound guy's mixer. We will get a high quality audio file plus tons of footage from 3 cameras. This is going to be a fun exploration into digital video editing for me. I'm looking forward to playing with all of the video footage on my computer. When we get everything dialed, I will post the video on our blog for everyone to download and watch on their computer. I'll be camping out at the raceway on Saturday night, so I'm also bringing all of my camping gear and my large cooler that will have lots and lots of beer. It's going to be one hell of a party!!

O.k. Here are the jams from last Saturday nights show. I gotta tell ya, I was disappointed in the recordings because once again, our main AKG C3000 microphone failed to record. This is our main fidelity mic. The recordings sound really shitty, but if you want to check them out, I went ahead and did the best I could with the mixes. Here they are:

This just in, courtesy RawStory...

"Four Senate Democrats called on the Justice Department's Solicitor General to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether or not Attorney General Alberto Gonzales committed perjury in Congressional testimony on the Bush administration's domestic spying program.
Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) harshly criticized the Attorney General in the Thursday Capitol Hill press conference.

"His inability to answer simple and straight forward questions was just stunning," Schumer said. "His instinct is not to tell the truth, but to dissemble and deceive."

Well, the truth has a way of making itself known. When the nation's top prosecutor is the target of an investigation, who will prosecute him? Sounds like a special prosecutor is in order. If Pat Fitzgerald is too liberal for you, then how about Bob Barr? Check out the full article here.

And Turd Blossom, Too?

Wow, looks like The Brain is getting some well deserved heat in the seat. Again RawStory to the rescue...

" Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy announced Thursday he had subpoenaed White House adviser Karl Rove and his deputy accusing them of stonewalling a widening probe into the firing of federal prosecutors.
"The Bush-Cheney White House continues to place great strains on our constitutional system of checks and balances," Leahy said in issuing the subpoenas. "Not since the darkest days of the Nixon Administration have we seen efforts to corrupt federal law enforcement for partisan political gain and such efforts to avoid accountability.".
"We have now reached a point where the accumulated evidence shows that political considerations factored into the unprecedented firing of at least nine United States Attorneys last year," Leahy said, according to The Associated Press."

The Heat is on, so gets to cookin'!!! Inherent Contempt of Congress allows for a simple solution to these complex issues so please call or email your Representatives in DC.

Gonznocchio

Gonzo was at it again, testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, either lying through his teeth or obfuscating at every turn. Today's spectacle seems to me a classic bait and switch if you will. It's as if Karl Rove is the puppetmaster and Gonzo is Pinocchio or as we sardonic bastards are apt to say, Gonznocchio. Yes, go after the puppet, ignore the puppeteers. Even Republican Arlen Specter railed on the administration and him, personally. He more than deserved it and should be removed from office. Call, email or otherwise contact your Congressperson and both Senators ASAP!

Judicial Jeopardy

This just in, courtesy RawStory...

"Capitol Hill's leading daily seems to have it in for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Today's headline from yesterday's hearings? Gonzales Digs Deeper Hole. After finishing up his latest round of testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Gonzales may have more than his credibility to lose. Wednesday's (paid-restricted) Roll Call reports the AG "may have put himself in legal jeopardy" as senators from both parties cast doubt on the veracity of his testimony. Republican Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) put it bluntly: "I do not find your testimony credible." He reminded Gonzales that the entire committee would review his testimony, in an apparent threat of legal consequences for lying to Congress."

Read the full article here.

He seems young to be using the old Reagan Defense: "I don't recall, uh that is, exactly, uh..." but then again, considering the stellar record of Bush's cabinet appointees... Well, thats a wrap, I'm OUT!!!

"Steam Pipe" blast triggers panic in NYC

Courtesy RawStory: A steam pipeline exploded in Manhattan on Wednesday in a shower of hot vapour, mud and rock, sparking panic among evening rush hour commuters and rekindling memories of the September 11 attacks among jittery New Yorkers. The explosion, which left a crater in the middle of the street, sent clouds of steam, mud and rocks several stories into the air and left buildings in the area shaking while a lingering rumble could be heard several blocks away.

Although police were quick to say there was nothing to indicate the explosion near Grand Central station was terrorist related, for some New Yorkers, the incident immediately revived memories of the September 11 attacks of 2001. "Everything shook, there was a big explosion," said Lilian Crespo, 33. "It was horrible." "I heard a huge vibration and we were evacuated from the building, everybody was panicking," added another witness, Henry Galarza.
Several blocks of Lexington Avenue outside Grand Central Terminal near the iconic art deco Chrysler building remained shut off into the evening. The explosion occurred just before 6:00 pm (2200 GMT) and sent crowds of people heading north from the area, many of them running. Some had their shoes come off because they were running so fast. A spokesman for electrical supplier Con Edison said the company was testing the air for asbestos as a precaution.

Well, I'm guessing the air is at least as safe as after 9/11. Oh yeah, that didn't work out so well, huh? Update: They did find asbestos, but say it poses no threat.... Go see Sicko. It will open your eyes to a very real problem we face as a society. Pretty sad that our infrastructure, health care and education are so neglected while we waste money on so many other stupid, violent things. Peace!

The Natives are Restless

Well, it seems as if the vox populi is in effect right here in Cal-i-for-ni-a. Here is another great article from RawStory.

A group of progressive and Democratic activists in California will be using the July 4 holiday to inaugurate a nerve center that will work to bring more Congress members around to supporting the impeachment of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. The Impeachment Center's opening comes as one House Democrat took aim at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's statement that impeachment remained 'off the table.

Wednesday afternoon in Los Angeles, members of local Green and Progressive Democratic party organizations will be joined by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) to inaugurate an 'Impeachment Center.' The Center will serve as "a [Los Angeles] countywide resource for advancing the impeachment of George W. Bush & Richard Cheney," with "phonebanking, letterwriting and other Impeachment related resources available for distribution." The facility will be open on a weekly basis.

The launch of the Impeachment Center comes on the heels of the commutation of the sentence of convicted former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL) is the latest House member to contemplate impeachment, and has taken aim at one of his party's top leader's unwillingness to consider the possibility.

Here's one top Dem who is asking hard questions, let's give it up for Chairman Conyers! Courtesy Think Progress:

Conyers to hold hearing on executive clemency

The House Judiciary Committee, “upset after Bush’s decision to grant clemency to I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby,” will hold a hearing on July 11 to examine presidential clemency power. From a statement issued by Conyers’s office:

In light of Monday’s announcement by the president that he was commuting the prison sentence for Scooter Libby, it is imperative that Congress look into presidential authority to grant clemency, and how such power may be abused. Taken to its extreme, the use of such authority could completely circumvent the law enforcement process and prevent credible efforts to investigate wrongdoing in the executive branch.

Scooter Independence Day

Happy 231st Birthday America! We have, it seems, been liberated from all those constitutional rights our country was founded on. The Paris Hiltons and Scooter Libbys of the world are free also and apparently answer to a different set of rules than the rest of us. DoJ protocols were discarded for Scooter's sake, and the judge and prosecutor weren't even consulted. Now it looks like Darth had a say in the decision to commute his #1 guy's sentence. Quasi-executive privilege? Check this one out, courtesy RawStory.

In a White House press conference on Tuesday morning, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow appeared to suggest that Vice President Dick Cheney's views may have been considered by President George W. Bush as he deliberated on whether to commute or pardon the conviction of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

"Everybody had an opportunity to share their views," Snow said in the Tuesday morning press conference.
Snow later clouded up his statement that the Vice President had been involved in the deliberations.

"I'm sure that the Vice President may have expressed an opinion," Snow said, then adding. "He may have recused himself, I honestly don't know."

But Snow insisted that the commutation of Libby's sentence was not a 'personal favor' to Cheney.

"The president does not look upon this as granting a favor to anyone," he asserted. "To do that is to misconstrue the nature of the deliberations."

Yeah, I'm sure it was a carefully made, de-libby-erate decision considering how tough the sentence was. I'm con-vinced that no one feared what he might say if he were to do any time for his crime. The Senate should investigate this kind of thing. Let's hope so.

Take Two?

This just in... Laura Bush seen revealing her true face when asked about her supposed estrangement from her husband as of late. A video camera malfunction allowed a reporter to capture this image. Now do you understand why Duhbya and Condie have been allegedly getting it on! What's a playa ta do? Destroying the constitution and Iraq is "Hard Work", so give the poor guy some slack. Heck of a job Bushie, heck of a job!

Hello everyone. I know it's been awhile since I've posted on our blog, but it's summer, you know? I've been taking care of business in other aspects of life and all. Anyway, here are the jams from last nights practice. I also included a song called, 'Makes Me Wonder'.

No More the Rule of Law

Can you believe this....a lying, traitorous scag gets his just sentence commuted by his boss, who may be involved eyes-deep in the shit himself!!! Recusal is the correct response to conflict-of-interest issues with government officials in decision-making positions. We must not allow this kind of inequity to prevail in our Republic, lest we fall as so many would-be world conquerors have before. Without justice, we have nothing to stand upon. Two systems of law that preys upon the poor isn't equitable or sustainable in the long run. Many will see the perversion of our laws and fight to ensure we never have this happen again. Vote for change.

Subpoena Party

This is all over the news, it's a big deal, and may result in some very serious problems for the suddenly re existent executive branch. Yoo-hoo dudes, sounds crucial.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has served Vice President Dick Cheney and other officials in the White House and Justice Department with subpoenas over President George W. Bush's warrantless wiretapping programs. "Over the past 18 months, this Committee has made no fewer than nine formal requests to the Department of Justice and to the White House, seeking information and documents about the authorization of and legal justification for this program. All requests have been rebuffed. Our attempts to obtain information through testimony of Administration witnesses have been met with a consistent pattern of evasion and misdirection."Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said. In the subpoena letters, Leahy made particular reference to the Bush administration's attempts to roll back existing oversight of the domestic spying program conducted through the National Security Agency. The letters were sent to the Justice Department, the Office of the White House, the Office of the Vice President, and the National Security Council. The recipients of the subpoenas are called on to comply with the subpoenas by July 18.

Supreme Court hands victory to Bush on faith-based initiatives

On a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that a group of taxpayers did not have standing to sue the US government for its funding of faith-based initiatives with federal money. The decision, Hein v. Freedom From Religion Foundation, was written by Samuel Alito, the second Supreme Court Justice appointed by President George W. Bush, according to the website SCOTUSBlog.

In a second 5-4 ruling, the Court ruled that schools could censor student expression outside of school grounds. The case was prompted by Juneau, Alaska, students who were punished after they held up a 'Bong Hits 4 Jesus' poster while attending a field trip to see the running of the Olympic Torch, according to CNN. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the decision. (Courtesy RawStory)

The Simpire Strikes Back

This article is courtesy of The Raw Story and NYT

Imperial Privilege

"The Office of Vice President Dick Cheney told an agency within the National Archives that for purposes of securing classified information, the Vice President's office is not an 'entity within the executive branch' according to a letter released Thursday by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform."
"Waxman noted that Cheney's office had declared itself not affected by an executive order amended by President George W. Bush in 2003 regarding classification and declassification of government materials.""The Vice President's office's refusal to comply with the executive order and the National Archives's request prompted the National Archives to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office. But the Justice Department has not followed up on the Archives's request."

In response, Waxman issued a set of questions to which he requested answers by July 12. The full set of documents from Waxman's office can be found at the Oversight Committee's website.
Dick's Nix
The Vice President attempted to "nix" the agency that was targeting him, Friday's New York Times reports.

"For four years, Vice President Dick Cheney has resisted routine oversight of his office’s handling of classified information, and when the National Archives unit that monitors classification in the executive branch objected, the vice president’s office suggested abolishing the oversight unit, according to documents released yesterday by a Democratic congressman," the New York Times reports.

"The Oversight Committee has learned that over the objections of the National Archives, you exempted the Office of the Vice President from the presidential executive order that establishes a uniform, government-wide system for safeguarding classified national security information," Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), the Committee's chairman, wrote in a letter to Cheney. "Your decision to exempt your office from the President's order is problematic because it could place national security secrets at risk. It is also hard to understand given the history of security breaches involving officials in your office."
Excerpts from Times article:

In the tradition of Washington’s semantic dust-ups, this one might be described as a fight over what an “entity” is. The executive order, last updated in 2003 and currently under revision, states that it applies to any “entity within the executive branch that comes into the possession of classified information.”

J. William Leonard, director of the oversight office, has argued in a series of letters to Mr. Addington that the vice president’s office is indeed such an entity. He noted that previous vice presidents had complied with the request for data on documents classified and declassified, and that Mr. Cheney did so in 2001 and 2002.

But starting in 2003, the vice president’s office began refusing to supply the information. In 2004, it blocked an on-site inspection by Mr. Leonard’s office that was routinely carried out across the government to check whether documents were being properly labeled and safely stored.

Google pushes for 100 mpg car

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- "Google said Tuesday it is getting in on the development of electric vehicles, awarding $1 million in grants and inviting applicants to bid for another $10 million in funding to develop plug-in hybrid electric vehicles capable of getting 70 to 100 miles per gallon. The project, called the RechargeIT initiative and run from Google's philanthropic arm, Google.org, aims to further the development of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles - cars or trucks that have both a gasoline engine and advanced batteries that recharge by plugging into the nation's electric grid. The project also aims to develop vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, allowing cars to sell their stored power back to the nation's electricity grid during times of peak demand." Check out the rest of the story here
That is a great way to encourage innovation, in my opinion. Motivate people and they can do anything, as every great idea is birthed of necessity and creativity.

Deep Shizznit in Space

This spaced-out story courtesy MSNBC.

"Russian space officials on Friday began laying plans to move up the launch of a Russian cargo ship, as cosmonauts aboard the international space station struggled for a second day to reboot failed computers controlling the orbiting outpost’s orientation.The problem started with a spike in static electricity while cables were being hooked up to the station’s solar panels, said Nikolai Sevastyanov, head of the Russian state-controlled rocket builder RKK Energia."

The article continues to describe the plight of the station and her crew. In short, the US solar panels screwed up the Russian guidance and life-support systems, and the shuttle is leaving the station crew behind after it does its thing. The Russians plan to send parts and supplies ASAP. Tough row to hoe if you ask me!

Many things are afoot today folks, so here goes....
Judicial Committee Issues Subpoenas

Looks like the attempted appointment of Harriet by Dubya could be construed as a very scary move to ensure the Supreme Court would tilt a certain way if required to referee any close elections. This is an excerpt from Raw Story:

Two former White House officials will face subpoenas for their involvement in the firing of 8 US Attorneys earlier this year. House investigators will issue a subpoena for Harriet Miers, former White House Counsel, and the Senate will issue a subpoena for Sara Taylor, a former top aide to Karl Rove. Both committees also sought a variety of documents from the White House. "Let me be clear: this subpoena is not a request, it is a demand on behalf of the American people for the White House...to help us answer the questions that remain," said Rep. John Conyers (D-MI). "The breadcrumbs in this investigation have always led to 1600 Pennsylvania. This investigation will not end until the White House complies with the demands of this subpoena in a timely and reasonable manner so that we may get to the bottom of this."

FBI Terror Watch List 'Out of Control

In a connected story from The Blotter:

A terrorist watch list compiled by the FBI has apparently swelled to include more than half a million names. Privacy and civil liberties advocates say the list is growing uncontrollably, threatening its usefulness in the war on terror The bureau says the number of names on its terrorist watch list is classified. A portion of the FBI's unclassified 2008 budget request posted to the Department of Justice Web site, however, refers to "the entire watch list of 509,000 names," which is utilized by its Foreign Terrorist Tracking Task Force.
"If we have 509,000 names on that list, the watch list is virtually useless," he told ABC News. "You'll be capturing innocent individuals with no connection to crime or terror."

U.S. lawmakers and their spouses have been detained because their names were on the watch list.
Reporters who have reviewed versions of the list found it included the names of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, at the time he was alive but in custody in Iraq; imprisoned al Qaeda plotter Zacarias Moussaoui; and 14 of the 19 Sept. 11, 2001 hijackers, all of whom perished in the attacks.

"There's a reason the FBI has a '10 Most Wanted' list, right? We need to focus the government's efforts on the greatest threats. When the watch list grows to this level, it's useless as an anti-terror tool," Sparapani said..

Inner Rhythm Studios has a great selection. Well, Inner Rhythm had 257 visitors yesterday! Wow! Another record day! It's so sweet to see our efforts bear fruit. 1320 got together last night to put our studio back together and discuss our next move. There is talk of a block party in Sebastopol on July 3 or 4, maybe both days. I don't think we will make any money, but I'm sure we will have a party! We have practice tonight, so we will talk more about it then. I plan on working on two songs for sure. I want to play 'What I Got' and 'Walkin on Sunshine'. These are two songs that need work. I just finished working out again today. I got on my treadmill and actually ran 5.2 miles! It took me 55 minutes. I feel great! The workouts have definately helped my energy level. I'm going to need it for all of the jams that keep presenting themselves. If our project can stay together, there is the possibility that we may be able to play the Health and Harmony fair next year. That is a kick-ass concert to play. We would be playing along side seriously famous groups. Anyway, I'll have some more audio to post hopefully tomorrow. Peace out....Russ

The end of the plug? Scientists invent wireless device that beams electricity through your home

This is an excerpt from The Daily Mail. "In a breakthrough that sounds like something out of Star Trek, scientists have discovered a way of 'beaming' power into a light bulb, mobile phone or laptop computer without wires. MIT researchers said Thursday they will soon be able to charge a computer or cell-phone battery from across a room, perhaps making the annoyance of wires or dead batteries a thing of the past The team at MIT, a top US academic laboratory, has shown their fledgling "WiTricity" technology can power a 60 watt bulb from a power source two meters (seven feet) away Scientists have known for nearly two centuries that it is possible to transfer an electrical current from one coil of wire to another without them touching..The phenomenon, called electromagnetic induction, is used in power transformers and electric motors around the world Rather than sending power from a transmitter to a receiver as a conventional electromagnetic wave - the same form of radiation as light, radio waves and microwaves - he could use the transmitter to fill a room with a 'non-radiative' electromagnetic field.Most objects in the room - such as people, desks and carpets - would be unaffected by the electromagnetic field. But any objects designed to resonate with the electromagnetic field would absorb the energy."

There is something fishy here. Could the EM field disrupt biological processes in an unknown way? How much would it cost to retrofit all the devices we use everyday? Can I use it to rock? Just asking some simple questions here...

US immigration bill trounced

A deal on granting legal status to 12 million illegal immigrants collapsed amid partisan rancor in the US Senate on Thursday, dealing a sharp blow to President George W. Bush. Republicans complained his maneuver would not allow them enough time to offer amendments to the legislation, a key second term priority for Bush. Democrats however accused some Republicans of offering repeated "killer amendments" in an effort to make the bill collapse. This bill is garbage. Pure politics, pure bulls*&#!!! Good riddance to bad rubbish, I always say..

Friday June 8, 2007 - Garageband Loops - Acid Music Loops - Royalty Free Music - Flash Loops - Guitar Loops - Hip-Hop Loops - Thats what it is all about!! Inner Rhythm Studios has a great selection. Ok gang. I'm back. Here's what's up... I joined ASCAP today. ASCAP is a non-profit organization responsible for collecting royalty payments for musical artists. Inner Rhythm Studios has many projects that are on-going and an entire library of music that has yet to be released. So if any of you people need custom tracks, please let us know. We have a killer selection of just about every style. If you guys would like to check out one of our latest projects go to - http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/1439768 - This is an R&B CD that we finished a few months ago. Smoov and I are trying to promote it all over the internet. JJ sings his heart out on these tracks. We are also looking at releasing M.L.V. for commercial licensing. We are going to go with PumpAudio.com. Pump Audio is a very straight forward site that reviews submissions to include in their catalog(hardrive) that they 'pump'. It's an interesting concept. Composers can make some real money for usuage in commercials with name brand comapanies like Coke, Kodak, MTV, NBC, stuff like that. Lord knows, it's almost impossible for musicians to make a living. There is an old joke....How do you get a musician off of your porch? - - - .....Pay him for the pizza!! All kidding aside, This is what Inner Rhythm Studios is all about. Making $$$ for the artist. I think Pump is just another income stream that will payoff. We shall see. I need to get the guys to sign the contracts, though. And that is a daunting task in and of itself. Anyway, I guess we need to make some more loops, huh? Well, I hope to be in studio more this month. I need to get ahold of my Harp player. I want to do that loop cd for sure. Peace all.

Good morning everyone! I hope your weekend was wonderful and exciting. I have been feeling a bit under the weather the last couple of days, but now I’m back in the saddle again! Lots of stuff has happened so let’s break it down. A few subtle changes are in store for the blog’s format and content, but as always, here is the news.

Breaking News
Scooter Watch 2007

The verdict’s in and it’s official. Scooter Libby, the lying traitorous Neocon warmonger has been sentenced to 30 months in prison and a $250,000 fine. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving ass-munch than this idiot.

The Democratic Debate

The Democratic Party had a televised debate on CNN Sunday night, hosted by Wolf Blitzer. It seemed to me that the time allotments were disproportional in favor of top tier candidates. The whole thing was pretty lame. No hard questions, no definitive winner, albeit Edwards was pretty impressive, and the desperation and calculated responses made me ill.Still I’d vote Dem just to ensure no Repugs get the Presidency in ’08.It seems big $$$ interests are always in control of things in DC. I hope we vote ourselves out of this mess.
The stakes are way too high to sit on one’s ass. VOTE!!!!!!

CIA running black propaganda operation
against Iran, Syria and Lebanon, officials say

The Raw Story’s Larisa Alexandrovna reports that the CIA and Pentagon seem to be conductingsome quasi-illegal actions deep in Black Ops Territory. Does Iran-Contra ring any bells? Helloooooo, wtf is going on?This is our tax dollars hard at work, hunh? Give me break.

The Central Intelligence Agency has received approval at least twice in the last several years to conduct an “information war” against several countries in the Middle East, including Iran, Lebanon and Syria, according to current and former intelligence officials In addition, the Bush Administration has been running operations out of the Defense Department that are not subject to Congressional oversight, intelligence sources say.These programs appear murkier, and have included support for an alleged terrorist group in Iran.A recent ABC News report revealed that President George W. Bush had signed a presidential finding giving the CIA the authority to conduct “non-lethal” covert operations against Iran. Former and current intelligence sources tell RAW STORY, however, that there have been “at least two” presidential findings over the past few years which have empowered the agency to run an “open-secret” information war against Iranian interests, mainly leveraging resources and assets “within the United States and France.”

Fox analyst: 'Space aliens kidnapped president' and 'left this tool'

When you see a story like this on Fox News, it’s like hearing
The Twilight Zone theme music in your head!!!

From RAW STORY: On Monday, Fox News covered Vladimir Putin's threat that if the US government goes ahead with setting up a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe, Russia will target its own missiles at European targets. The discussion led to an unlikely reversal of political positions, with conservative Fox political analyst Tammy Bruce describing the situation as "another glaring example of the growing incompetency of the Bush administration and his foreign policy," while Democratic strategist Bob Beckel concluded that "I support Bush on this ... and it's a strange day when I do that." Bruce began by defending Putin and asked how we in the US would feel if Russian missiles were sited in Cuba or Honduras. She pointed out that the US missiles in the Czech Republic and Poland are supposedly intended to guard against the threat of potential Iranian long-range missiles, even though those missiles don't yet exist and we've said we're not going to allow Iran to develop them. She then blew up about immigration and Iraq as well, saying, "I'm waiting to find the space aliens that kidnapped the president that I grew to admire after September 11 and left this tool behind. ... I'm furious."

Band Biz
To Infineon and Beyond

Sunday night we jammed for our good friend and promoter Marcos and a cool, if opinionated passer-by named Kelly. We played some jammin’ tunes for them, and later worked out some of the logistics for our 06/09/07 gig at Fiorino’s. We want everyone who can attend our live show to come on down and boogie. If you make it to the show and ask for Meshers, I will give you a 20% discount on your next purchase of any of our production bundles. The show is going to be a hot time in old Rincon Valley! There is an opening band, blues I think, and then it’s time to get the party on with your friendly neighborhood cover band. Yeah baby, it’s us on the stage rockin’ in the free world!!!!!!

The Daily MUFF
Special Report

There has been a concern that my daily enshrinement of hotties with nice bodies might offend someone out there in the world. It did. So now, as all things change and grow, this post will now adapt to the reality that you can’t please all the people all of the time, and chill with the pin-up art. If you want to email us and tell us that you truly love the hotties, then I might bring them back occasionally to heat things up. Now this column will focus on inspirational thoughts and ideas, my own artwork and other cool stuff for your enjoyment. Good luck producing.

Meshers OUT!!!

I see how you're doing the blog thing and all that to help increase traffic.... noticed you were astonished with the figure of 180 folks on one single day - listen, I have a bit of leverage here, I could send you a lot of legit traffic for nothing, simply because I like you guys - actually admire you.However, I need to know something. Where the hell is Ely Reis? Is he dead? Did he quit or wtf?I'm using his stuff on some major video shit over here and I'd like to have a small amount of collaboration if required in the future. Btw, you don't need to be so dicey on your blog. Keep the excessive women content out - keep your real content in, about who you guys are and what you're working towards. Your rankings will improve based on that alone. What your dream for inner rythm studios is.You guys have a lot to give, and the world is your audience. Keep working at it. The money will follow.Thanks, BrianAtlanta.

Breaking News
Tens of Thousands Protest G8 Summit in Germany

Well, we were unable to post yesterday due to schedule conflicts and family obligations.It is now 8:45 in the A.M. and I’m almost late to work. I wanted to relate one story in the news, though. It is about the G8 summit in Germany, and the protests happening there. Sounds as if US policy isn't too popular in Europe these days!
Link to the full article here .

Tens of thousands of protestors marched through this northeastern German port on Saturday to show their opposition to next week's G8 summit of the world's wealthiest nations. Organisers said they were expecting 100,000 people from anti-poverty and anti-globalisation groups to demonstrate in the nearest city to the luxury coastal resort of Heiligendamm where the leaders will gather from Wednesday. But police said only 30,000 people were taking part.

Band Biz

Sunday night jam is in effect. Last night Karl and I worked on the jazz bass concept I came up with the other day. The potential for a good dance number is there, just needs a little fine tuning. It combines groove boogie and modal jazz flavors into a "sweet concoction" that'll make you "feel good". See you at Fiorino's next Saturday night. I want to thank everyone who is keeping up with our bonnie exploits. The international interest really means a lot to me personally. Without everyone's support and attention it just wouldn't be the same. Please comment or email us if you're feeling it.

Now you know why I'm a "tree-hugger"!!!

Paradigm Shift Alert

It is my pleasure to relate to you the following account. Once a long time ago, I had a dream of living in a community of conscious, enlightened people, doing what I love to do most, playing music and living free! Though I have tried to do just that as an adult, my past failures to perfect the formula of success had left me exasperated at best. Sometimes it seemed as if the cosmic cards were stacked against me. My best efforts to be a good person, an ethical person, a humane individual who is compassionate of those around me was often returned with scorn and criticism much of the time. Yet tirelessly I arose anew each day with faith in myself and humankind. Please don't assume my focus on the dire events in the world are any indication of my "take" on things or that I am a pessimist. In fact, I truly believe we as a species are evolving into a galactic intelligence that will one day spread the DNA of this beautiful biosphere to the corners of the universe. It is always a concern as an artist that you will be misunderstood. I struggle with it in more than art, though. Having a political perspective that is edgy and a philosophical outlook unrecognised in one's culture can be a real challenge. Expressing oneself to a mindset so unaccustomed to truth is also a toil. I can't make anyone understand me, only do my best to be clear and receptive myself.

Band Biz

It has come to my attention that we (1320) are being rejoined by none other than Greg Eckels, our previous guitarist. I wish him a hardy hello and welcome back! Laird will still be there doin' his thang and I think we will sound better than ever. Rockin' in the Free World!!!

Political Punditry

The landscape of this election season is one of the biggest spectacles I've ever seen. Rotten Rudy and The Mittster, Freddie and maybe Newt on the right; Hil, Barry, Johnny Boy and the specter of Gore on the left. It would seem the stage is set for the ultimate crap-slinging contest. Not one of these candidates are untouched by scandalstank. Divorces, affairs, dubious voting records and ties to big business interests are just the opening act. We need to vote for change that really makes our nation and world more healthy, secure and prosperous. Vote your heart, vote for your economic best interests, vote for a safer world for our children. JUST VOTE!!!!!!!

Bloggage

I want to apologize if any of the pictures of hot women offend anybody, it is not my intention to do so. I just like to spice things up a bit. I won't be posting buff guys ever on this site so, sorry ladies. I would like to thank everyone out there in the blogosphere from UK and Australia, Sweden and Norway, lets not forget France, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Greece, Spain and Russia; not to mention Japan, South Korea, Thailand, India, Turkey and so many more! Thanks for your interest in what we do. Inner Rhythm Studios strives to bring you the best in Royalty-Free Music, Acid and Garageband Loops, Hip Hop Beats, Reggae, Jazz, and R&B Grooves, everything you need to produce your dream or project!

Wednesday May 30, 2007 - Garageband Loops - Acid Music Loops - Royalty Free Music - Flash Loops - Guitar Loops - Hip-Hop Loops - Thats what it is all about!! Inner Rhythm Studios has a great selection. Good morning class. Today’s topic is internet marketing 101. Mr. Marsh and I have been plugging away at this thing for just over a month now. Here is where we stand as of this morning for a few of our critical keywords on Google’s ranking: Garageband loops - #11, Music Loops - #15, Guitar Loops - #4, Acid Loops - #13. These are all second page search results (except for guitar loops). Inner Rhythm is getting ever closer to the coveted first page. We won’t be satisfied until Inner Rhythm is #1, though. Hopefully some of this will translate over into more sales. It has been really slow the last few days. Buy something people!! My dream of ‘doing nothing’ – did any of you guys see the movie ‘Office Space’? – must become a reality!! By the way, for the keyword – Royalty-Free Music, we are still not even on the map! I’m not sure why.

On the band tip, we had our practice last night. We plowed through the entire set list. With breaks, it took us 3 hours to play all of the songs. That’s good. We are now exactly 60 days away from the Infineon show. We have 60 days to get this band into a lean, mean jamming machine. We are almost there. Greg Eccles has decided to join us once again as well. This will give us an extra hour or so of material. This is going to be very interesting.

On the work-out tip, I had a very constructive day yesterday. I ran 3 miles and worked out on my elliptical trainer. Later in the afternoon, I used my free weights and worked chest for 40 minutes. Diet wise, I consumed around 2000 calories for the day. I would say that was a success. One day at a time, they say. Today, I’ve got to get back on that horse and ride. I plan on starting my cardio around 11am this morning. That gives me 2 hours to work on whatever I need to before I workout. Have a good day. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.

Tuesday May 29, 2007 - Garageband Loops - Acid Music Loops - Royalty Free Music - Flash Loops - Guitar Loops - Hip-Hop Loops - Thats what it is all about!! Inner Rhythm Studios has a great selection. Well, today I am going to write about self-discipline. I have been on a mission to lose weight and get my physical vitality back. I would like to be in better shape for our concert coming up here in July. I had 4 good days of exercise and healthy eating. Yesterday for some unknown reason, I slipped up and ate pizza and drank beer and teqilla. Yep, that's right. I had a day of total lazy, debauched drunkery. It's tough to control one's impulses. You know, it really sucks getting older. I used to be able to drink and eat what ever I wanted and I never gained that much weight. Now that I'm 38, things really have an effect on me. I mean the foods I eat and the beers I drink. Being a musician kind of comes with the 'I want to feel good all of the time' kind of attitude. I need to curb that and really control these impulses. I think one of the keys to success is getting back up when you fall down. You can't let a mistake keep you down. So after I finish writing this, I'm going to get on my eliptical trainer and get 'back to the mystery', if you know what I mean. Wish me luck on myjourney, people. I'm rooting for all of you as well in whatever your struggles are. Keep the faith, I'm out
