Media Ignores Massive Voter Purges by Republicans

dailykos.com — While the media focuses on the antics of McCain's chosen VP battleground states are purging their voter rolls. In Colorado, one fifth of all voter registrations were dropped. Florida is refusing to accept 85,000 new registrants -- overwhelmingly blacks. Ohio & Nevada are scrubbing tens of 1000s of voters who lost their homes.More… (US Elections 2008)

Is Mars Between Ice Ages?

"Mars is not a dead planet -it undergoes climate changes that are even more pronounced than on Earth."

James Head, planetary geologist, Brown University

The prevailing thinking is that Mars is a planet whose active climate has been confined to the distant past. About 3.5 billion years ago, the Red Planet had extensive flowing water and then fell quiet - deadly quiet. It didn't seem the climate had changed much since. Now, recent studies by scientists at Brown University show that  Mars' climate has been much more dynamic than previously believed.

I almost (but not quite) feel sorry for McCain's campaign staff. How can they possibly spin this as a positive? (Emphasis added.)

McCain said he would concentrate on getting more sleep when he can.

"If I put in three or four 18-hour, 20-hour days in a row, I'm not sharp. It's just a fact," the Republican senator from Arizona said. "I'm more sharp if I get a little rest."

McCain said he feels best sleeping until 7:30 or 8 a.m., as opposed to his usual morning drill of rising at 5:30 or 6 a.m.

"It seems to help me to get up a little later in the morning," he said, joking, "Sorry to bother with that intimate detail."

Earth to McCain: the presidency is a 24/7 job.

Keep in mind that this is a guy who already doesn't work weekends. Even reporters are amazed at his light workload.

This is just another piece of evidence that John McCain is the candidate who isn't ready to be President. It's just August, and he is already complaining about the grueling pace of the campaign.

Does he have any idea what's in store for the next occupant of the White House?

::: :::

Update -- Over at Daily Kos, cookiesandmilk made a poignant comment that I want to highlight:

I think the people working 2 & 3 jobs to keep up in this Bush/McCain economy need more sleep then this beer fortune heir does.

So true. Talk about out of touch. The fact is, McCain isn't doing one of his 2 jobs, he's doing the other one at half strength, and he's whining about it. Meanwhile, lots of American families are every bit as tired as he is, but without $100 million in the bank.

The Shrinking Influence of the US Federal  Reserve - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News

By Gabor Steingart in Washington

Humiliation for Mr. Dollar: Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the United States Federal Reserve Bank, faces a general investigation by the International Monetary Fund. Just one more example of the Fed losing its power.

The United States Federal Reserve Bank, or Fed, seems as much a part of America as Coca-Cola or Pizza Hut. But at least one difference has become apparent in recent days. While the pizza chain and soft-drink maker are likely to expand their scope of influence in the age of globalization, the US central bank is finding that its power is shrinking.

This is partly down to circumstances. Inflation is going up and up, and this year's average will likely top 4 percent. But this time Mr. Dollar is also Mr. Powerless. He can raise interest rates in the fall, or he can pray, which would probably be the better choice. At least prayer would not prevent the US economy from growing, a highly likely outcome if interest rates go up.

After years of growth, the United States is now on the brink of a recession, one that is more likely to be deepened than softened by a tight money policy. Investments will automatically become more expensive, consumer spending will be curbed and economic growth will slow down, immediately affecting unemployment figures and wages.

How to Avoid Being Dominated By Your Man

It is not uncommon for a girl complaining of being dominated by her guy. There are many cases in which the guy may be suffering from small insecurity problems that makes them dominate over their girl. With this insecurity, these guys start asking all sorts of personal questions to their girl and will want details of all past relationships and of the conversations the girl has with others.

Though this attention may be flattering to the girl in the beginning, this dominance can become a serious and negative character in the guy. You are sure to get fed up with this as you lose your privacy and find it rather irritating having to answer all unnecessary questions from your guy. This is why it is better to maintain dominance in such men, so that there is a chance for a successful relationship between both of you.

The first thing that has to be done is to maintain your space and distance from the beginning of the relationship. Tell your guy there is no need of you answering all his questions relating to the people you talk to. You have to explain to him that you have a life of your own, and that as you don’t interfere in his life and who he interacts with, he does not have the liberty to interfere in your personal matters too.

Instead of being too submissive towards your guy, it may be required to play hard to get sometimes to avoid being dominated by him. Make him wait when you go for dates so that he will realize that you are not one that likes being slated instructions. When going on dates, instead of letting him pay the bill all the time, you too can pay the bill so that your guy knows that you have the capacity of looking after yourself and have the power to influence him, and are not dependant on him. Of course, don’t do this too often lest your guy gets used to you paying the bill all the time.

If you find his interference ends up in quarrels, you need not make up for the quarrels all the time. Instead, let him realize his mistake, and ask you for pardon. Though you may end up on non-talking terms for some time, you find that this treatment will make your guy realize that you are not dependant on him and that you don’t like his interference in all the matters of your life.

However, at times, you may have to let him dominate you; but this should not be made into an everyday affair. In fact, you will like the attention he pours on you by acting dominating over you. You are sure to like him being caring for all your actions; but he should know that there is a limit for everything. Just make it a point to leave breathing space in both your lives, with each of you dominating each other only if and when needed and not unnecessarily.
