[Mykesweblog.com] Myke's Weblog: Leadership: Thailand, whose Buddhist culture gives it an extraordinary flexibility, is known for its ability contain paradoxes. I'm told that the mayor of Pattaya, capital city of the country's famous go-go bars, stood on the main street amidst the neon, looked right at the television news cameras, and declared that there was "no prostitution here." Meanwhile, in a conversation with a business consultant, I learned that such bars are a hot investment commodity in the global market, and the quality of the prostitutes figures prominently in the selling price.

 [Iraqwarwrong.blogspot.com] The Iraq War Was Wrong Blog: September 2004: You could be on a straight highway with no house aroudn then suddenly a big house(like, farmhouse). You could be riding your bike in deselate countryside with small rolling forest hills and then suddenly there's a fancy developed children's park with bright green grass and a colorful safe-constructed plastic swing set(next to cool water fountain - drink up). You could come across lots of kids who are punks/altnerative but then you meet other kids and they're all into Country music channel(from Farm families?).

[Newyorker.com] The New Yorker: Fact: The size and fervor of the Sleepless Summer Tour crowds—five thousand at midday on a Sunday in Portland, ten thousand later that afternoon in Seattle, a roof-shaking gathering of three thousand the following night in San Antonio—evinced a dexterity of campaign organization and a visceral passion among voters that made it easy to recognize, five months before the first Presidential-primary ballots would be cast, that the Democratic nomination had become Dean’s to lose. None of the other aspirants, it seemed, had the resources, the creative instincts, or the rhetorical ferocity to match him.

[Patriotblog.com] Patriot Blog: Rove's affinity for mind games appeared early, according to the film, and just got more and more sophisticated over time. Think back to the eve of the '86 Texas gubernatorial race debates, when Bill Clements was in free fall in the polls against Mark White, and suddenly the media's attention was yanked away from the debate and diverted to news that Clements campaign consultant Rove's office had been bugged. The Houston Post's Glenn Smith immediately smelled a rat and suspected that Rove had bugged his own office and had called in the FBI; the Austin American-Statesman's Dave McNeely was suspicious but not convinced.

[Limbicnutrition.com] Limbicnutrition Weblog: Politics Archives: Former Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala told the American Medical Association's National Conference on Family Violence: "We do know that 20 to 30 percent of the injuries that send women to the emergency room stem from physical abuse by their partners."9 These high figures are not supported by the research. The notion that they are tenable comes from the same source that proclaims that domestic violence is a more frequent cause of injury to women than heart attacks, muggings, rape, and even car accidents!
