Subject: crunchy cons
So now my husband and I have to feel guilty for the plight of inner city Houston? We have to feel ashamed that we live in the suburbs of Houston instead of living in the Third Ward? We have to feel personal responsibility for the crime ridden neighborhoods full of drug addicts and gang members? It is our fault, because we are "white flight suburbanites" who only moved to the suburbs out of fear and insecurity? Give me a break! We have two young children. Rod Dreher, whom I highly respected until I started reading this blog, might think it is great to live within earshot of nightly gunfire because "small, local, old and particular are better", but we will pass. We work hard for what we have, and we don't "owe" anyone in the inner city. We aren't cowards because we don't want to live in the middle of nightly drug wars, we are good parents. We have a limited income, since I am staying home to raise our children, so there are many "crunchy" things that we just can't afford. I shop at Wal-Mart and Target because I can't afford to buy $6 cereal at Whole Foods. I sometimes buy my children's clothes at Wal-Mart, and don't buy much for myself, including Birkenstocks, so that we can spend our money in other ways, including tithing. We do many things to help others in our community. I am no less conservative than any of you, and I resent being painted as some sort of contemptible person who doesn't live a life of "true beauty". Try living in the real world, where not everyone has a six-figure or higher salary. We are scrimping to send our son to a private Christian school, and hope to send our daughter there when she is old enough. It is a huge financial issue for us right now, but we are making it work. We won't sacrifice our children to the Utopian dream of rebuilding the inner city. I taught for many years in a low-income school before staying home, and I can't tell you how many children told me that they didn't need to worry about working because they could just stay home and get a check like their mom. It is not my fault that people won't take responsibility for themselves, it is not my fault that inner city men abandon the children they father with multiple women, it is not my fault that they choose drugs over getting a real job, and it is not my job to live next door to them.
If Caleb Stegall really feels that my husband and I are part of "the suburban landscape of instant gratification, fear, and spoiled denizens of personal desire", then we will just stick to our ugly little life and tune out from the Crunchy Con movement.
What a shame that you have to paint all of us with such a broad brush. I care about "the environment", we are striving to raise our children to have strong moral character, and we are very active in our church. Yet Caleb Stegall sounds like he would spit on us if he could, because we don't live on a farm surrounded by "real beauty". You just lost us.

Mary Carey Does D.C.
Porn star Mary Carey says she's now a fully converted Republican after hobnobbing with GOP bigwigs at a fundraiser hosted by President Bush. The former California gubernatorial candidate and star of such films as "Dual Airbags" and "Some Like 'em Big" was disappointed, however, that she didn't get an opportunity to press the flesh with the president.
"I was told that they had people ready to tackle me if I tried to, you know, get up close to him," Carey told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. "And they were worried about me maybe flashing or streaking through the dinner. And I mean, I can't believe they'd think I would do that. I'm a serious politician."
Following is an excerpt from Keith Olbermann's amusing interview with Mary Carey:
CAREY: "I really wanted to meet President Bush, though, like, you know, up close and personal. I was kind of disappointed.
OLBERMANN: And that never -- that was never even close, that.
CAREY: No, they actually -- I was told that they had people ready to tackle me if I tried to, you know, get up close to him. And they were worried about me maybe flashing or streaking through the dinner. And I mean, I can't believe they'd think I would do that. I'm a serious politician. I would never want to, you know, jeopardize my, you know, future career like that.
OLBERMANN: Well, despite the fact that you didn't get to meet the president and there were other limitations to the evening, was it fun anyway?
CAREY: I had a great time. You know, Republicans can party almost as much as porn stars.
(LAUGHTER)
CAREY: I think they can drink just as much. There were some really drunk guys by the end of the night. I was getting propositions to have threesomes with wives or mistresses. I was offered money from oil tycoons! I mean, it's pretty exciting. I didn't take any money and I didn't do any threesomes, but it was pretty -- I was just surprised. I thought everyone would be stuck up and no one was going to like me. And everyone loved me and got drunk and took pictures with me. So I want to keep going to Republican events. I'm a fully converted Republican now."
Watch video or read a transcript of her interview.
Carey also sat down for an interview with "The Daily Show's" Stephen Colbert:
COLBERT: What appeals to you about the Republican party?
CAREY: I just think Republicans are very, very wealthy people. And, um, if I want to be wealthy and powerful I should hang out with them. If you play with cripples you start to limp. So I don't want to play with cripples anymore. I want to be up with the NBA players, y'know, which is Republicans.
Colbert: Okay. In your analogy Democrats are handicapped and Republicans are tall athletic black men.
CAREY: Exactly. That's exactly what it is.
COLBERT(narration): But today's GOP is not just for pornographers. It also embraces compulsive gamblers [photo of Bill Bennett], drug addicts [photo of Rush Limbaugh], and convicted killers [photo of Don King].

Rupert Murdoch's Growing Porn Empire (by William Norman Grigg)
by William Norman Grigg
March 14, 2006
Australian-born media mogul Rupert Murdoch (Council on Foreign Relations), whose international holdings include the supposedly conservative FOX News channel, "has been secretly building a stable of wholly-owned pornographic channels for his [British] Sky subsidiary," reported Rupert Steiner of London's The Business on February 12. "The Business has learned that Sky now owns and operates its own pornographic channels -- the 18+ Movies section -- after years of hosting third-party content only."
Previously, under British licensing rules, Rupert's Sky network was required to provide porn content produced by other networks. Having learned of porn's profit potential, however, Murdoch is developing his own original smut content, as well as "entering into partnerships with companies that broadcast pornographic television channels on Sky, such as Sport XXX Babes, XXX Housewives, and Playboy. Sky has agreed [to] retail distribution agreements with these companies. With Playboy, for instance, Sky now not only hosts the channel but sells its service, and collects and shares in the revenues from Playboy customers."
"For years the Murdoch press has labelled rival newspaper baron Richard Desmond a pornographer in articles charting his business which has included pornographic magazines and TV channels," relates Steiner. "Desmond, who owns the Daily Express and OK magazine, will view Murdoch's expansion in this field as hypocrisy." American conservatives who have viewed Murdoch as an ally interjecting a conservative voice into the "mainstream media" should take an even dimmer view of these developments.

Subject: secession conference in November
Secede!
Posted by Lew Rockwell at March 15, 2006 12:06 PM
Writes Kirkpatrick Sale: "Dear Mr. Rockwell: As I know you have been interested in the subject of secession and self-determination in the past, and have carried many articles on the subject on your website, I wonder if you would think it appropriate to post this Call to a Secessionist Convention. The convention is sponsored by the Middlebury Institute, which Tom Naylor and I started last fall."
CALL FOR REPRESENTATIVES TO THE FIRST NORTH AMERICAN SECESSIONIST CONVENTION
The Middlebury Institute herewith issues a call for representatives of active organizations and groups in North America concerned with secession and separatism to attend a convention in Burlington, Vermont, this coming November 3-4,2006.
We are seeking to provide a forum where people with a serious interest in secession from the United States, Canada, and Mexico can present information on what each organization is doing, learn the policies and tactics of other organizations, trade ideas on organizing, strategizing, and politicking, assess the strength of the secession movement, and figure out ways to make it stronger and more successful.
It is understood from the beginning that there are many varied groups with secession as the core of their strategy, and it is unlikely that there will be any full consensus on platforms or goals. But if we can assemble articulate and active representatives from serious, ongoing groups that are working in their various ways to push the idea of secession at a regional, state, or multi-state level, we are convinced that we can advance the cause of secession throughout the continent and pave the way for some genuine successes.
The Middlebury Institute is willing to underwrite the travel costs for some of those representatives, especially from the Western reaches of the continent, who are unable to pay their own way. We are unable to absorb the 2-night hotel room fees, but we will provide a conference room for a Saturday meeting and a banquet on Saturday night.
Individuals from real, active, serious, and ongoing secessionist and separatist organizations -- please, no individual secessionists or the like -- are urged to contact the Director if they wish to take part in the first North American Secessionist Convention.

Subject: South Park
South Park and the Right to Ridicule
Posted by Ryan W. McMaken at March 14, 2006 11:29 PM
Reading today's article, The Right to Ridicule, I was reminded of just how great ridicule itself really is. The creators of South Park taught me that. In the news today, co-creator Matt Stone exhibited his usual insight.
I should say that I really enjoy South Park sometimes. It's either really funny or really offensive. When I'm offended I turn it off, usually, when its doing some over-the-top treatment of Catholicism. Nevertheless, I can't exactly claim to be surprised when I am offended, and I don't feel a need to write angry letters to the producers whenever they do something I disagree with. And we're not talking about light satire either, but really biting anti-Christian (especially anti-Catholic) sort of stuff every now and then. I'm not exaclty afraid that my religion is going to be taken down by a crudely animated show on Comedy Central, so life goes on. Plus, they usually make fun of politicians, cops, and Nebraska, and who can take exception to that?
Well apparently one of its stars who doesn't have self-awareness the size of a mustard seed. Isaac Hayes, who plays Chef on the show has left because he decided all of a sudden that the show practices anti-religiouos "bigotry." This is a classic case of dishing it out, but being unable to take it. Says Stone with his usual aplomb:
"This has nothing to do with intolerance and bigotry and everything to do with the fact that Isaac Hayes is a Scientologist and that we recently featured Scientology in an episode of 'South Park,' " Matt Stone, co-creator of 'South Park,' said in a statement. "In 10 years and over 150 episodes of 'South Park,' Isaac never had a problem with the show making fun of Christians, Muslims, Mormons and Jews. He got a sudden case of religious sensitivity when it was his religion featured on the show. To bring the civil-rights struggle into this is just a non sequitur. Of course, we will release Isaac from his contract and we wish him well."
Obviously, Hayes is free to disassociate from any show he doesn't like, but the transparency if his motivations is really embarassing for the rest of us, and his raising the spectre of "civil rights" is in particularly bad taste. Says Hayes: "As a civil rights activist of the past 40 years, I cannot support a show that disrespects those beliefs and practices," Please.
The most disturbing piece of this is to be found in a UK article on the subject that notes that the anti-Scientology episode had to be yanked due to what can only be described as tyrannical libel laws.

Subject: tracking gangsters with GPS in San Bernardino
California prison officials have begun using Global Positioning System anklets to track known gang members.
The gritty suburb of San Bernardino, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles, this week became the first California city to use the GPS satellite navigation system to track gang members when the devices were strapped onto three parolees, state Department of Corrections spokeswoman Jeanne Woodford said.
Six California counties began using GPS to monitor sex offenders in 2005 and some have already been arrested for violating parole after they were tracked to off-limits areas.

Subject: who's behind socialism?
In the Communist seizure of power in Russia, the Jewish role was probably critical.
Two weeks prior to the Bolshevik "October Revolution" of 1917, Lenin convened a top secret meeting in St. Petersburg (Petrograd) at which the key leaders of the Bolshevik party's Central Committee made the fateful decision to seize power in a violent takeover. Of the twelve persons who took part in this decisive gathering, there were four Russians (including Lenin), one Georgian (Stalin), one Pole (Dzerzhinsky), and six Jews.
To direct the takeover, a seven-man "Political Bureau" was chosen. It consisted of two Russians (Lenin and Bubnov), one Geo rgian (Stalin), and four Jews (Trotsky, Sokolnikov, Zinoviev, and Kamenev). Meanwhile, the Petersburg (Petrograd) Soviet -- whose chairman was Trotsky -- established an 18-member "Military Revolutionary Committee" to actually carry out the seizure of power. It included eight (or nine) Russians, one Ukrainian, one Pole, one Caucasian, and six Jews. Finally, to supervise the organization of the uprising, the Bolshevik Central Committee established a five-man "Revolutionary Military Center" as the Party's operations command. It consisted of one Russian (Bubnov), one Georgian (Stalin), one Pole (Dzerzhinsky), and two Jews (Sverdlov and Uritsky).

Updated Strategy Backs Iraq Strike and Cites Iran Peril
By DAVID E. SANGER
WASHINGTON, March 15 -- An updated version of the Bush administration's
national security strategy, the first in more than three years, gives no
ground on the decision to order a pre-emptive attack on Iraq in 2003, and
identifies Iran as the country likely to present the single greatest future
challenge to the United States.
The strategy document declares that American-led diplomacy to halt Iran's
program to enrich nuclear fuel "must succeed if confrontation is to be
avoided," a near final draft of the document says. But it carefully avoids
spelling out what steps the United States might take if diplomacy fails,
and it makes no such direct threat of confrontation with North Korea, which
boasts that it has already developed nuclear weapons.

Subject: Milosevic demise reverbs
Rest Easy, Bill Clinton: Milosevic Can't Talk Anymore
By Jeremy Scahill
A war criminal's untimely demise lets the U.S. off the hook
Slobodan Milosevic is characterized in the obituaries as the "Butcher of the Balkans." If that is the story you want to read about, please go to almost any other media outlet and read it again and again. Some are now suggesting that death is Milosevic's final revenge, that he "ended up cheating history" by dying before judgment was passed. But the world has already passed judgment on Milosevic and what is being cheated by his death is history itself.
What the corporate media overwhelmingly ignores in Milosevic's death is what they ignored in his life as well -- his intimate knowledge of U.S. war crimes in Yugoslavia. While Milosevic was undoubtedly a war criminal who deserved to be tried for his crimes, he was also the only man in the unique position of being able to expose and detail the full extent of the U.S. role in the bloody disintegration of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. In fact, that is precisely what he was fighting to do at his war crimes trial when he died.
Because of the rule of victors' justice in the ad hoc tribunal system (a poor and unfair substitute for a true international court), Milosevic's case would have been the only international trial to potentially expose the details of the illegal, U.S.<>led NATO bombing of Yugoslavia for 78 days in 1999. While the U.S.-backed court consistently tried to limit Milosevic's right to speak, stripping him of his right to self-representation, Milosevic battled regularly to raise U.S. war crimes. Sadly, with Milosevic will likely die the last hope the victims of these crimes in Yugoslavia had of getting their day (if it could even be called that) in court<>a tragic and unjust reality to begin with-that speaks volumes about the twisted state of international justice.
Milosevic's cause, regardless of what one thinks of it, was a casualty of 9/11 -- an event that relegated him and his trial to the annals of history before it was even over. Most people in the world – with the exception of those in the Balkans where the proceedings were broadcast live, daily – probably didn't even know Milosevic was still on trial in the Hague. It became an obscure sideshow to the blood and gore unfolding constantly on the international stage.
Milosevic's death means that those who bombed Yugoslavia for 78 days beginning 7 years ago this month, killing thousands, will be, once and for all protected from any public scrutiny for their crimes. However opportunistic Milosevic may have been, he would have been one of the few people to appear at the Hague that could have-<>and would have-laid out these crimes in great detail. Now, there is almost certain to be no condemnation of the U.S. bombing of Radio Television Serbia, killing 16 media workers, the cluster bombing of the Nis marketplace, shredding human beings into meat, the use of depleted uranium munitions and the targeting of petrochemical plants causing toxic and chemical waste to pour into the Danube River. There will be no condemnation of the bombing of Albanian refugees by the U.S. or the deliberate targeting of a civilian passenger train or the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. Milosevic also would have discussed how the U.S. supports a regime in Kosovo that has systematically expelled Serbs, Romas and other ethnic minorities from their homes and burnt down scores of churches. He would have discussed the role of the US in funding and arming the Kosovo Liberation Army, which operates like a death squad and how the new prime minister of Kosovo, Agim Ceku, is a US-trained war criminal who gained infamy in both the Bosnian war and the 1999 Kosovo conflict. And Milosevic would have talked of the U.S. interference in the Yugoslav elections in 2000 and the ultimate neoliberal takeover that was the aim of Clinton's sanctions and 78 days of bombing. In reality, it would have fallen on deaf ears, but it would have been stated for the record.
