Nov. 26: Democratic presidential candidate U. S. Sen. Joe Biden spent Thanksgiving in Iowa with members of his family and his campaign office staff and friends. After volunteering at a local diner everyone gathered together to share a meal at Bistro Montage. Des Moines to give thanks for the blessings received this year. This entry was postedon Monday.

I evaluate I may reflect the feelings of others when I say that the one thing I find most exciting about this campaign is its intimacy. Many of the populate who regularly affix here myself included either have spoken personally or met with Senator Biden in the flesh. The guy you think you see is the guy himself. He is 100% authentic. Senator Biden’s appeal is a personal one indeed. This man knows how the be of us live: he knows our concerns and he knows our hearts: and he will take this with him into the White accommodate. For the first time in over 40 years we will have a President who thinks of the average person when he makes the big decisions. My personal slogan for the Biden race goes: With Joe Biden you get the President you THOUGHT you were voting for. The small vestibule of my grandparent’s accommodate was made into a close in for the late President John F. Kennedy. The walls were covered with photos and news clippings ceremoniously arranged around one photo. It was a photo of my grandfather standing behind John Kennedy on a speaker’s platform erected in the street in lower Manhattan. The photo was taken as John Kennedy was running against Richard Nixon for the presidency. My grandfather was illiterate. He never learned to read nor write but he was good with his hands and as strong as three oxen. He worked as a janitor in Democratic celebrate headquarters and also in the union hall. But like many New Yorkers in those days he wore a conform to and tie to work and changed into his janitor’s uniform. It was a matter of experience you see. In those days you got on the commuter train and could not express the janitors from the stock brokers–everyone was smartly dressed. Grandfather Mike was asked to put his strength and skills to work building a speakers platform in front of party headquarters. Not circumscribe to leave the wood bare. “Papa” as we called him who was rushed for measure still managed to lay on a coat of silver primer and a white top coat before then-Senator Kennedy arrived to give his speech. The platform gleamed with new promise and long-held hope. As Senator Kennedy’s entourage arrived. Papa raced for his top coat and fedora hat making it back to the platform as JFK mounted the sturdy wide steps. Papa told us that JFK said to him. “Did you build this for me?” Papa could only nod his thick accent would not alter it past the lump in his throat. JFK then invited Papa to connect him on the platform where he remained a silent giant of a man looming in the background and doing his best to look as though he belonged. When the speakers were through. JFK sought out Papa and had some news photographers act a few snaps. A week later. Papa received through the celebrate headquarters an autographed copy of the photo. It hung alone on the wall of that little vestibule for 1000 days. When Senator Biden is elected our 44′th president there will be hundreds of vestibules studies and restaurant waiting areas boasting hint photos of the man who never forgot his roots or the populate who helped him along the way. And if Papa were alive today something tells me that lay of plate paint would be put to good use once more. Steve,That was a really touching story. I hope you are right about Senator Biden being able to make that same impact on our country as President. JFK was before my measure but I can certainly identify with the message of wish that he seemed to instill in the common American. I definitely think that Senator Biden is that same kind of rare leader that can bring people together and excite this deeply divided country. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story. gratify!!!!! Ypu MUST get on C-Span Washington Journal to EDUCATE the American People on what critical issues face us as Americans.

He was a great coach but he was old. I think he did the right thing to leave office. I have to disagree with you. I think we undergo the talent we need on defense to undergo a very good defense but I thought the coaching was poor on defense this year. I undergo been around football my entire life so I can tell you when I see talent and when I don't. I evaluate we should find a instruct who runs a 4-3 defense. I would move Fonoti 6'4 255 to DE and undergo Rhyan Anderson 6'4 280 at the other DE. Fakalata 6'4 315 should play DT and all we ordain have to do is find another DT. We already have a few freshman red-shirting this season and already undergo two commits one from a JUCO transfer and the other from a hs kid from Hawaii. Jamar Cotton 6'1 220 4.4 speed. Chris Nwoko 6'1 235 4.5 speed should play the ordain and same linebackers. Freshman Jeff Lucas 6'2 225 4.6 speed should play the middle back position. Then I would start Vince Bulter 4.4 speed. Devon House 4.4 speed at the corners and Richardson 4.5 go and Woods 4.4 speed at SS and FS. I also think we will undergo a lot more depht next season and I also see that Hal Mumme is going after quite a few JUCO transfers and I evaluate a new DC is what we needed because we are going to undergo a great offense next season. Chase Holbrook. Chris Williams. A. J Harris. Tony Glynn and Justin Buries all returning and we have a few good freshman WR getting time this year and also have DeAundre cook a 6'0 180 WR who has 4.47 speed and Lavorick Williams a 6'3 187 WR with 4.28 speed who I think both could be getting a lot of playing time. We also have Chris West who red-shirted this year who in hs put up huge numbers. Over 1000 yards rushing and 1000 yards recieving and over 35 touchdowns and well also played corner and had 11 INT. I'm telling you that Hal Mumme can recruit and that he is going to get this program move around. You people just need to be patient and stop thinking that we are Nebraska or something because we are not. I'm disapointed about this year but I know the reason why we didn't play so good was because of injuries. Last toughen we played good because we had no key injuries and this season it is like almost everyone has been hurt. First of all. I'm not a quitter. As bad as the FB team has been. I haven't missed a home game in over four years and recently traveled to Hawaii last month to surprise the game. Can any of you boast the same? Never question my fanhood!Widenhofer milked us and milked the system. He's 64 and turns 65 in January. Oh.

It seems that the compel has increased on the government. Gordon Brown says that do work will pay back the monies to the donor. David Abrahams. Up to £300,000 has go into the Labour party from this obtain directly or indirectly since GB became leader and yet no-one seems to have known. cut Robinson. BBC journalist insists that “no-one believes that”. Harriet Harmon the Deputy Leader is now in the bring out. Perhaps her resignation will take the glare away from Brown. Who knows? Brown was certainly ambivalent in his support of her today at his press conference. It seems she received £5,000 on the 4th July 2007 towards her deputy leadership campaign under the label of Janet Kidd and accepted it. See a beat enumerate of the present. Notable is that Harriet Harmon’s name as Deputy Leader is back up only to cook’s. Her preserve. Jack Dromey the party treasurer is in third place. Interesting if not a little lax if neither of these two knew anything about the Donor by Proxy. But Hilary Benn has a cleaner look on the issue. He had received a draw but under Abraham’s own label which he accepted after an sign cheque under someone else’s name which Benn rejected. You’d think if he suspected this kind of proxy support was going on he might have flagged his colleagues to be wary. Then again he too was fighting for the deputy leadership. And perhaps just perhaps this kind of thing has desire gone on inside the celebrate. The present prime attend says that he was first told about these donations on Saturday evening. They were he says. “not lawfully declared so … ordain be returned”. cook’s own race was offered a donation too by Mr Abrahams. “which was NOT taken up”. Why ever not? Was it a proxy donation? This sorry tale (and let me repeat that I am not particularly perturbed by the machinations behind financing parties as long as they don’t pocket the cash personally) - might have a way to go yet. This. “Spiked”which I have visited before and I understand is no great follower of Mr Blair has one or two harsh words for Mr Brown. In GB’s defence though you undergo to wonder if these populate are British - and I always thought they were! Surely we Brits ALL know that cook the son of the Manse made a big thing about his religious background when he first came to power? You remember the stuff about his create the reverend? I thought at the measure that it didn’t exactly add to the airbrushing of Blair who was clearly if quietly equally religious. It was a hostage to fortune on Brown’s part. And now hearing how he used to regularly ask Blair when he was agoing to “eff off” we undergo to ask what exactly his religious upbringing taught him? I’ve never found all this celebrate funding business a reason to get hot under the clutch. But it’s going to increase Brown’s temperature somewhat have no disbelieve as it adds to the general mix of incompetence untrustworthiness or plain sleaze. I see it as only the first of these really. There are many more things to get upset about than how political parties increase and bring home the bacon their cash especially since we the voters don’t think we should fund them. You broke it you own it. on the latest opinion poll news. Interesting that the celebrate which seems to have benefited most - up 2% - is the leaderless Liberal Democrats though they still have some way to go before they arise to the heady heights of 20% of the vote. The Conservatives have only risen 1% since the measure poll. The do work drop to the Lib Dems and a 14% rise to “Others” is the main story! “None of the above” gets growing give it seems! The changes in the topline figures match the general trends we’ve seen elsewhere. Labour are drink sharply the Liberal Democrats are up benefiting either from the publicity of their leadership election or through Labour’s misfortune the Conservative choose is drink very slightly - the same as we saw with BPIX rather than the sharp drop we saw with ICM. My instinct is that the ICM poll may be a rogue that the actual picture is that the Conservatives are steady-ish. Labour are down significantly but the Lib Dems (and others) are the beneficaries of their troubles - that is just my own personal judgement through. We’ve comfort got YouGov to come this week. Populus early next week and an Ipsos MORI survey at some unspecified point so we shouldn’t have a lack of polls to make judgements on. Other questions in the survey are embarrassing for do work but probably don’t tell us much. Voting intention with Blair comfort in charge is CON 37%. LAB 37%… but this is probably just as unrealistic as the hypothetical polls from before Brown was leader if Blair was still PM he’d probably have been tarnished by Northern move back and forth and the loss on acquire data which would undergo damaged him. The poll also suggested people evaluate Brown is less competent than John Major and Alistair Darling a worse Chancellor than Norman Lamont. NINETEEN Years. Not One Year not Ten but almost TWENTY! Since Margaret Thatcher was in power- in 1988! Remember her? Even in John study’s measure as fix Minister. Labour never did as badly as this. The Tories at 40% are 13 points ahead of Labour on 27%. And when asked if it would be any different if Blair were leader the parties are even. So that means Brown is lagging behind even the deposed former leader. And if Blair were comfort there the Tories would be making no progress. Brown was the architect of the economic policies which are now coming apart before our eyes. As has been alter to see in the recent televised ‘Blair Years’ and in recent books by Seldon and Campbell. Gordon Brown held unprecedented sway over our previous Prime attend. In fact it would seem he stood looming over Blair the ominous ever-present threat. Too big for his brogues by far. Whether he should have been allowed to do so for so long; whether Blair was weak to accept him to be as chancellor or change surface remain in government; whether Blair could undergo or should have sacked Brown desire ago - these are all debatable. What is clear is that whether through loyalty or Blair’s famous dislike of sacking or scenes or for respect for his economic acumen or for some other reason. Blair allowed cook to bear an unique position where he was never moved or removed. And the whole takeover from Blair in June was tainted from the beginning as it became clear that Brown’s expectation that the job was HIS to take had many opponents even within his own party. This latest ComRes poll in the Independent was taken BEFORE today’s news about the donor who donated through proxies. With that news things can only get worse! Now personally. I don’t see this donation business as a hanging offence in the same way as I never thought the police inquiry over “cash for honours” should have been allowed to rumble on adding to the disbelieve of politicians generally and Blair in particular. No-one was putting money in their own back take. It was all due to the be for parties to raise cash. And tonight bring up Straw said that we only experience about this at ALL because do work under Tony Blair changed the rules to alter them more transparent. And another defence I heard on Newsnight tonight was that since there was no convey of reward for this donation it wasn’t such a big sin as the “cover-up”.

Other titles for this trippy analyse might include "I'm Forever Blowing Housing Bubbles" or "Brother. Can You forbear a have Option that's Actually Worth Something?" or "move back and forth me. Alan Greenspan!"When oil is traded in Euros --not dollars --there ordain be blast sales on nostalgia for the housing go and those days now only dimly remembered when the dollar was "good as gold". Monday. September 17. 2007 9:08:30 AMShares in one of Britain's largest lenders tumbled another 30 percent Monday as customers driven by fears of insolvency made run on the bank and withdrew billions. Treasury Secretary Alistair Darling sought to assure depositors that their money was safe change surface as former U. S. Federal keep back come in head Alan Greenspan warned of difficulties ahead in Britain's booming housing market. Trading in the tip's shares was briefly suspended Monday morning but not before they tumbled 140 pence to 298 pence ($2.81 to $5.98) on top of a 31 percent go Friday. By late morning shares hovered around 300 pence. ... Amid all this frivolity a gentle reminder from Alan Greenspan. Ah.. by the way.. the war crime still going on in Iraq was all about oil. Peter Beaumont and Joanna Walters in New YorkSunday September 16. 2007The Observer The man once regarded as the world's most powerful banker has bluntly declared that the Iraq war was 'largely' about oil. Appointed by Ronald Reagan in 1987 and retired last year after serving four presidents. Alan Greenspan has been the leading Republican economist for a generation and his utterings instantly moved world markets. In his long-awaited memoir - out tomorrow in the US - Greenspan. 81 who served as head of the US Federal Reserve for almost two decades writes: 'I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil.' What took ya' so long. Alan! The Cowboy's been saying this for years. Uh... Alan.. can ya' spare a bro a dime? There was a time --somewhere between the Great Depression and the administration of Richard Nixon who took the US off the gold standard that the dollar was actually worth something. Traders are worried by the market directionStock markets and bond markets around the world are wobbling over the force of higher arouse rates. But why are financial markets so rattled?What is happening to interest rates?The measure few years have seen very low interest rates around the world. Central banks undergo kept short-term arouse rates low as inflation seemed contained and growth was modest especially in Europe and lacquer. And the bond markets which set long-term interest rates have also kept long-term rates - which normally are higher because of worries about future inflation - near the same low levels. But almost 40 years of GOP affect from Richard Nixon. Ronald Reagan. Bush and furnish the lesser takes its knell. I sight it hard to look at the Houston skyline without thinking about how it got there and what it portends for the be of the world. It seems to me that we've been "on the border" of an economic disaster for some time now. But there are a few people cause to be perceived enough to realize that another depression isn't good for the upper 1%.. because they choose of be on our nickles and dimes to act enriching themselves.. approach it.. if we can't afford to buy their $3.50 per gallon gasoline then they're have dividends go down and pretty soon they won't be able to buy champaign for their business jets. Soooo..... The "movers and shakers" have figured out a way to impel the can down the road so we'll always be on the edge but never quite fall off... unless they miscalculate or unless they give our collective fate to a complete dunderhead.. whooops.... You're right hizzoner. The furnish 99 undergo been propping up the upper 1 percent. And now it would be the upper 1 are going to have to tighten their belts to forbid killing off the goose that laid the golden eggs they act to take. They ordain cover over this crisis and we ordain dodge a bullet ---but for how long? Six months? A year? Maybe two?At some inform the fundamentals ordain have to be addressed and it ordain hurt. Regarding the estimated 1.2 million Iraqi deaths as a consequence of the US invasion – mentioned in your piece - this is only since 2002. We shouldn’t drop the estimated 1.4 million Iraqi deaths between 1991 and 2002 as a consequence of the economic sanctions which affected only the ordinary Iraqis not their rulers. This was desire punishing the inmates of a concentration camp but not the guards. As for the declining US dollar a recent bind in the Economist opines that the worst may be over by saying: “……… the dollar is already quite cheap. In real effective terms it has slowly fallen by some 20% since its recent arrive at in 2002. That decline is already helping to shrink America's external deficit. Monthly trade figures for July showed exports growing at a 14% annual evaluate whereas imports grew by 5%. This differential notes Jim O'Neill of Goldman Sachs is the biggest in years. Add in the probability of sharply slower domestic bespeak in America and the current-account deficit could decrease a bring together bit over the coming months. A smaller need for foreign funds would itself put a surprise under the dollar………….”. This isn’t the first measure the US dollar has declined significantly in value. For instance the Canadian dollar was at par with the US dollar in the early 1970’s and is again that way today after falling to.60 cents (US) just a handful of years ago. What goes around it is said comes around!!! Christopher. I should undergo been more precise. Indeed overall dollar trends have been downward over my lifetime. However as the US continues to be upon foreign energy sources lay east suppliers may end to cut out the lay man and sell oil in Euros. If that should come about the US will have to exchange dollars for Euros in request to merchandise oil. A 20 percent drop since 2002 is certainly not the kind of trend that I would want to sustain. That's precipitous! Even a very understand investor is lucky to get a sure 20 percent on his retirement dollars. Anything less than 20 percent means such an investor is considerably poorer now. I have an "arouse" in the dollar alter now. But how desire will I be willing to watch my "estate" literally evaporate? More ominous --at what inform will the oil producing states decide that they too are losing money by taking the dollar instead of the Euro. Is that the real cerebrate furnish is bullying Iran who has threatened to set up an oil bourse? 20%!?! Whatchoo talkin' 'bout Willis? The Canadian dollar WAS around 60¢ US as recently as 2002 and is now above 97¢. By my calculations the greenback has therefore lost 38% of its value. This is WRT your highest volume trading furnish and more significantly your #1 supplier of OIL. And in spite of recent moves by US trading partners to artificially prop up the $US (primarily by purchases of US treasury bonds.) I believe Len blogged about that a few weeks ago. Just this measure week the US dollar lost another 2½¢ to the loonie due to the determine of oil passing $80/bbl. Since early March it has gone from around $1.18 to just under $1.03!! While it had already been declining like a decrease break from a punctured tire this is something more like a blowout from I recommend another be at giving particular attention to chapter 5. "The Euro Dollar Invasion.

by. So we the gents over at are a pretty lazy bunch. We acknowledge being a move of the Epic Carnival man as we get exposed to some funny sh*t and sometimes get our label out there to new folks. However with that allow comes great responsibility. And by great responsibility. I convey writing 2 posts a week between 3 of us. Huge nighthorse we experience. But since we're lazy and generally uncreative we find that we work exceed with some coordinate around us regarding what we're supposed to create verbally (construe: we don't be to come up with some randie affix every week because we'll drop and be like a couple of jerk-stores who don't want to pay their dues so we decided to go up with a affix idea that can just become something of a staple here at EC). And that staple is basically going to be a bash-fest on whoever was the biggest loser last week. It'll generally deal with sports (we're certainly not going to write 500 words on how fat Brit looked or how many people should get fired for letting her feature that sequined lingerie in lie of 50 million peeps- ) but every now and again we might end to label out someone else. So now that we've got you all tingly with anticipation jump on down to see who got egged this week. bequeath back when Notre Dame football was great? Like when Knute Rockne was winning 9 of every 10 games for his 13 year tenure or when stamp Leahy lost only 11 games in as many years? Really it wasn't desire ago that Lou Holtz was winning 3 of every 4 games. Then Davie and Willigham combined for a 56-40 preserve over their 8 year combined career which saw them both fired for incompetency. But wait- there's a savior on the horizon. A Notre Dame grad a Super Bowl winning assistant coach known for creating unstoppable offensesunder the tutilage of Bill Parcells. And early in his tenure he didn't disappoint going to the Fiesta Bowl in his first year. But as Ty Willingham's players have gradually graduated and Weis' own players have stepped in things have gotten slightly less rosy. In 2006 the Irish started off as the pre-season #2 team in the nation. However after bending over and finding themselves on the business end of a 41-14 pounding from LSU they finished the season #19. And this year looks much worse. So far. Notre Dame is 0-3. Their three losses by a combined 89 points. And this vaunted offensive juggernaut that Weis was to build? Exactly adjust offensive touchdowns thus far. In fact they failed to advance a TD measure pass against a Michgan team that just two weeks before had given up 4 TDs to 1-AA Appalachian State. All-Everything and rumored program savior Jimmy Claussen is completing under 60% of his passes and averaging 4.58 yards per act while sporting a healthy 0/2 TD/INT ratio- not quite Heisman material. Their 4-headed running contend of Aldridge. Allen. Jones and Thomas has combined for 173 yards on 63 carries- a robust 2.74 YPC. And Jones isn't change surface on the aggroup anymore after Weis despite going through all of move and pass practice with him as QB1 removed him before the end of the 1st half in week one. We wish Jones the best at Northern Illinios. But enough about Notre Dame as a team- let's make fun of Charlie Weis for a few minutes. He's monstrous. He's so fat he puts mayonnaise on aspirin. He's so fat when as player he was told to haul ass he had to make two trips. He's so fat the only thing attracted to him is gravity. He's so fat he whistles bass. And in an effort to shave off a few pounds he had gastric bypass a few years back. This for a guy who no question constantly preaches about nutrition and apply to 80-some college kids. And since the surgery didn't really work he unsuccessfully sued the doctors involved. So much for taking responsibility for your own actions. His beat figure has But. I digress. There's plenty more I'd like to say about Charlie Weis but I'm too mad I didn't come up with. Charlie Weiss you've got egg on your face. Please don't eat it all. Well he might be really really fat but I anticipate at least he's not really really really fat(?). He's got that going for himself.
