The Congressional system is busted. The “imperial presidency” is not the greatest threat to American democracy, the virtually undefeatable House of Representatives is. The only ways to reform it involve changing the rules by which we draw Congressional districts (so that 90% of the seats are no longer incontestably safe) or imposing term limits. Unfortunately, Congress is not likely to support either of those reforms, so this is what we have to live with. Government of careerists, by careerists, and for careerists, shall not perish from the earth.
. Allison needs a divorce. NOW. (Ha! Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, washed the car with it.)
2. Allison needs at least 22 million - 26 million to deal with her struggling company. (Yes, I suppose that WOULD launch me into PowerSeller status.)
3. Allison needs more good farmers to raise corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley.
4. Allison needs to have a good thermal conduction path between the battery boxes. (So THAT’s what it needed!)
5. Allison needs a big sister to give her encouragement that she’s a special person.
My last post was written at a time when I could only weep and sigh. My heart was broken over the painful acceptance that a huge financial need could not be met. Until now, those mammoth needs were being met - just barely, but still covered. But on that day, I was face to face with the obstacle of finding some way to pay a bill that threatened to undo me completely. I worried and fretted and cried as though the seams of my life were being ripped out one at a time. Snap. Pop. Snap.

JFK airport terror plot thwarted
It had been in the planning stages since January 2006. Via CBS:
6. Allison needs to tie a rope around Stagan’s waist to get to toe him around the ice. (Hockey, anyone?)
7. Allison needs to understand how her students access the web and what special needs they may have.
8. Allison needs to do a 10 minute scene.
9. Allison needs to get info about the category heading “Infrastructure” from the selection committee.
10. Allison needs to add a forward facing camera so that the tranny can see an upcoming hill and downshift earlier!
Are you going to låne penger
? Then you should think twice. At least if you are going to use a sms lån
. That is very expensive and not for everybody. A normal loan would be better and much cheaper too. Not every loan is a lån for deg
. There are many sites on the web where you can loan money these days. One such site is “lån på internettet”
. If you need big money or small money, this is just the place where you can get the greatest advices. The first advice regarding this loan business would be not to get a smslån. So take care and spend your money well.
She told me that if the 4:30 didn’t show up, I could have the appointment. I thought “Gee, you mean I could have the appointment I made and you confirmed? Gosh.” But instead I read a three month old Newsweek and watched the 4:30 arrive.
I went to the counter and the Kristi told me the 4:30 had arrived. I told her I saw that. She apologized, and asked when I would like to reschedule. I told her I would take an appointment on Saturday. She checked the appointment book and said they didn’t have anything available this Saturday and offered next Saturday. I told her I wasn’t available next Saturday and I walked out.
I drove off in a huff and went to Wallyworld and made an appointment with their in-store optometrist for this Saturday. I’m going to see if Lens-Crafters has anything for this weekend. I really don’t want to have to go through life with Wal-Mart among my healthcare providers.

JFK airport terror plot thwarted
It had been in the planning stages since January 2006. Via CBS:
(CBS) NEW YORK Russell Defreitas, a U.S. citizen native to Guyana and retired airport employee was the mastermind behind a plot to destroy John F. Kennedy International Airport, kill thousands of people and trigger an economic catastrophe by blowing up a jet fuel artery that runs through populous residential neighborhoods, authorities said Saturday.
Defreitas developed his hatred for America a decade ago while working as a cargo handler at JFK airport. While working at the airport, he said he saw military parts being shipped to Israel that he thought would be used to kill Muslims. Last August, he began planning an attack along with three other Muslim men, one of which was an FBI informant.
