Impeach Bush September 13, 2006 1:39 pm

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Politics, Touchy Subjects, United States , add a comment

So, is the new trend going to be to try to impeach the president every four years?

9% of US Congress now supports the impeachment review, including 18% of Democrats, 100% of Independents (1 out of 1), and 0% of Republicans.

The best represented states on H. Res 635 are California (9), New York (6), Illinois (3), Massachusetts (3), Minnesota (3), Georgia (2), New Jersey (2), and Wisconsin (2).

What’s up with Cannibas? September 13, 2006 11:23 am

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life , add a comment

Like every other blogger, I knew that in no time at all I would be pulling in thousands of dollars from Adsense thus you see a couple of ads on the Reality Me. Apparently I talk about pot more than I thought because Adsense, being context sensitive, has consistently shown a banner ad for Cannibas and Medical Marijuana since I posted Top 10 Pot Studies Government Regrets Funding. Of course, this post contributes to Adsense wanting to put marijuana ads on Reality Me. I find the ads distracting and non-profitable so eventually I will get around to removing them. In the meantime, if the arrest of the Wests has put a damper on your supply, I suppose you can click the banner for a new source.

Pictures after the Oak Ridge incident September 13, 2006 11:18 am

If we messed up in Oak Ridge, these pictures show what Knoxville would look like 20 years later.

On the 26th of April 1986 shortly after midnight, to be precise, at 1:23 GMT, there occurred near the Ukrainian town of Chornobyl a tremendous explosion at a huge nuclear power plant, followed by a gradual meltdown of the reactor No. 4.

Nowadays there guided tours are being conducted to this area. These photos are made by George Borman (Pikul) while participating in such a trip.

Blingo Sends Me to the Movies! September 13, 2006 6:04 am

Blingo

I just won another movie ticket from Blingo! This time someone that signed up as a referral from me won so I won also. Now, I signed up under Cathy so when I win she wins which presents a slight problem in that Blingo limits each household to two prizes per month. On 9/4 I won a ticket and having referred me to Blingo Cathy received a prize also. She claimed an iTunes gift certificate. So technically, that is our two prizes this month. I wonder if I will actually receive this movie ticket. I think 2 prizes per month is far too limiting particularly if you have referred many people.

Since November of 2005, I have won 5 movie tickets from Blingo!

Bush’s grandfather finanaced Hilter September 13, 2006 4:46 am

Thought I’d post this just because this link will spread like wildfire. Looks like the Bush family fortune may have been established by an American company profitting by backing Nazi Germany.

The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

His business dealings, which continued until his company’s assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz…

…new documents, many of which were only declassified last year, show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis’ plans and policies, he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler’s rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty.

More than 60 years after Prescott Bush came briefly under scrutiny at the time of a faraway war, his grandson is facing a different kind of scrutiny but one underpinned by the same perception that, for some people, war can be a profitable business.
