A flamingo chick is cared for by its mother at Marwell Wildlife in Hampshire. Flamingos incubate their eggs for 30 days and the parents take it in turns to look after the youngster. Young flamingos are grey and white and do not turn pink for two years. For the first three to four weeks, the chick is fed entirely by the parents who secrete a creamy pink liquid called ‘crop milk’.

1. marisacat - 13 September 2011: So… I guess we MAY know something about a referendum on Obby and something about the local machine… by tomorrow night. Mebbe.

[C]an the Democratic machine be enough?

There’s no denying that Weprin has run a less-than-impressive campaign. He’s misstated the size of the federal deficit. He’s awkwardly hedged on his support for Obama. At one point, his campaign confusingly sent a costumed wizard to mock Turner outside one of his fundraisers.

But all of that might not matter on Tuesday, when the powerful Queens County Democratic Party machine — overseen by Rep. Joe Crowley — is planning to kick into high gear. By the time polls open, Weprin’s campaign estimates it will have contacted more than 200,000 voters. On Tuesday, an estimated 1,000 volunteers and get-out-the-vote workers will be knocking on doors, handing out literature outside subway stations and bus stops and offering senior citizens rides to the polls.

The machine will benefit from the helping hand of the Working Families Party, a labor-backed organization regarded for its professional turnout efforts. Few expect the Queens County Republican Party — for years consumed by internal fighting — to be able to seriously compete. . . . . . .

The attack appeared to be the most audacious in Kabul since the fall of the Taliban in late 2001. It comes as U.S. troops are starting to pull out of the country, amid concern that the Afghan government is far from ready to take on more responsibility for security.

The assailants launched the attack from a tall building that is under construction, located in a traffic circle near the bunkered area that includes the sprawling U.S. Embassy compound and the headquarters of the U.S.-led military mission.

Militants Launch Attack on U.S. Embassy in Kabul

KABUL, Afghanistan — Insurgents launched a complex assault against the American Embassy and the nearby NATO headquarters on Tuesday, pelting the heavily guarded compounds with rockets in an attack

that raised new questions about the security of Afghanistan’s capital and the Westerners working there.

At least 10 explosions — apparently from rockets launched by militants — and waves of automatic weapons fire were reported amid the drone of sirens and English-language warnings telling Americans inside the embassy to take cover.

4. Ganjafied Gabacho - 13 September 2011: Looks like the Arpaio machine is expierencing some technical difficulties:

Failed criminal investigations of politicians and judges by America’s self-proclaimed toughest sheriff were put under a microscope in a disciplinary hearing launched Monday against a former prosecutor who brought the cases to court.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio isn’t the subject of the disciplinary case, but his investigations of county officials and judges took center stage at the hearing for his ally, former county attorney Andrew Thomas.

Thomas is accused of bringing criminal cases against two county officials to embarrass them and charging a judge with bribery when Thomas knew the charges were false. All three cases collapsed in court.

“If you disagreed with, ruled against or represented someone in one of the disputes, the evidence will show retaliation by Mr. Thomas,” said John Gleason, an attorney leading the disciplinary case on behalf of the State Bar of Arizona.

Arpaio and Thomas contend that they were trying to root out corruption in county government. County officials say the investigations were baseless and an abuse of power.

The sheriff wouldn’t face any punishments if Thomas is found to have violated ethical rules. (surprise! )

I doubt that Arpaio will ever be directly reprimanded for anything, but I think that has more to do with his Fed/spook connections than anything else…

5. Ganjafied Gabacho - 13 September 2011: One more beat from Baja Arizona

U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will give her first TV interview since being shot in January to Diane Sawyer of ABC News.

She’ll sit down for the interview with her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly. The extent of her participation will depend on how well she’s recovered by then.

(…)

ABC said Monday that the discussion will air as part of a prime-time special Nov. 14. That’s the night before a book by Giffords and her husband will be published. It’s titled “Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope.”

(…)

While Giffords will meet with Sawyer for the story, it’s still not decided whether she will sit for an interview in front of the camera, Giffords spokesman Mark Kimble said Monday afternoon. Home video of Giffords in rehabilitation is likely to be shown, Kimble said.

Pennsylvania judge rules against individual mandate

A federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled today that the individual mandate in President Obama's health care reform law is unconstitutional.

“The power to regulate interstate commerce does not subsume the power to dictate a lifetime financial commitment to health insurance coverage,” he wrote in the ruling.

The suit, filed by a couple in York, Pa., is one of more than 30 lawsuits that have been filed since the law was passed in 2010. Just last week, a judge in Virginia ruled that the state’s attorney general did not have the authority to challenge the law.

This continues the nearly perfect streak of judges ruling on partisan lines — Christopher Conner, the judge in the Pennsylvania case, was appointed to the bench by President George W. Bush.

NOW THAT is racism, pure and simple. But no, let’s line up and slobber for Obby and protect him from the Big Bad Mean Racists.

NY-9

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee rushed into the fray with late-game TV ad buys in New York’s expensive media market, as did House Majority PAC, the Democratic super PAC.

But Weprin hurt himself in the weeks prior to Election Day, bowing out of a campaign debate and citing Hurricane Irene for his absence after it had already passed, among other missteps.

Republican leaders were being careful not to declare victory prematurely

AND, not in the Politico article, Weprin stopped campaigning Monday night early and went to a bar mitzvah outside the district.

A district that is 3 to 1 Democratic.

GOOD LUCK. Tells me he never cared much along with all the other vagueries…. and he knew it was over.

10. Ganjafied Gabacho - 13 September 2011: So here’s another rant/rave from GG’s Twisted Tales From La Frontera.

I’m picking up some wood today, and at the wood lot one of the chicanos who works there says “Oh dude, I got busted by la migra last week” and I’m like “Oh no, que paso vato?” “I got busted with 230 lbs of weed” he says sheepishly.” Que pedo, but you’re out already. You gonna get probation?” I ask gently, thinking that he’s over 200 lbs and he’s not white so that usually means they’ll plead you to a six month term

“No, guey the dropped all the charges, but I’ve got to stay out of trouble” He says smiling.

“Orale!, que suerte, dude.”

So it turns out he spends 10 days in Federal Detention, and while he’s in custody his court appointed attorney shows up (guy is broke, that’s why he was dumb enough to try to move cartel weed) he says to the lawyer, “hey I don’t want to make to much of it, but it says here I had 110 lbs and I really had 230″ to which his public dumptruck responds, “I didn’t hear that, and I suggest that if you want to get out of here in the next with out being charged than you don’t say anything about how much weed you had”

I wonder where that extra 120lbs went…

BTW my Chicano buddy picked up the load just NORTH of the checkpoint I was hassled at last week

Ganjafied Gabacho - 14 September 2011: Oh its not a story its just a google search with 800,000 hits about Border Patrol rapes…most the shit that actually happens is never known about outside the communities they happen in…

Reply
ts - 14 September 2011: I followed one of those to a curvature article which drives the point home.

There are more details about additional assaults at the link, if you’re not familiar with them. To its credit, the LA Times is careful to not only report on them collectively as a connected problem, but to also explicitly point out that they are a part of a pattern:
…
“The Border Patrol treats detainees “very, very poorly,” said Tony Payan, a political scientist who studies the agency at the University of Texas at El Paso. “They see themselves as a quasi-military body defending the country. Add to that the fact that they are expanding rapidly, and you have thousands of rookies who have very little experience.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, the Border Patrol’s parent agency, said in a statement that “the overwhelming majority of CBP agents and officers perform their duties with honor and distinction…. We do not tolerate corruption or abuse within our ranks, and we fully cooperate with any criminal or administrative investigations of alleged misconduct by any of our personnel, on or off duty.”
…
Unfortunately but unsurprisingly, CBP is missing the point in the interest of self-preservation. I’d argue that the LA Times article ultimately misses the point, as well. The thing is that we can talk about accountability and how there is or is not enough of it until we’re blue in the face. But it’s really difficult to have accountability for violence inside a system that is predicated on violence itself.

The U.S.’s current model of border enforcement is built on violence and upheld through violence. Some activists make the compelling argument that border enforcement as a concept, through its dependence on colonization and restriction of free bodily movement, particularly of indigenous people, is inherently racist, violating, and violent. But even placing those important questions aside, there is no reasonable case that the U.S. immigration enforcement system, as is, is not a violent one. Anyone who has ever dealt with Border Patrol or ICE, been placed in detention, had their family torn apart, been robbed of the ability to work and feed themselves, or lived under the weight of being dubbed an “illegal” can tell you as much. Violence is the method. Violence is the “deterrent.” Violence is the point.

I wouldn’t limit this method to just to the border issue. It’s the pervasive method of choice in this country. Out in the open these days. Flaunted where it once was lurking under the surface.

Reply
Ganjafied Gabacho - 14 September 2011: Nice pick ts, it is not just a border, it is flaunted now and to quote your quote Violence is the method. Violence is the “deterrent.” Violence is the point.

Poll: Obama is still popular abroad

By EMILY SCHULTHEIS | 9/14/11 7:00 AM EDT

President Barack Obama’s approval ratings may have hit a new low in the United States this summer, but he’s still getting lots of Euro-love, according to a poll out Wednesday.

A full 75 percent of those surveyed in 12 European countries approved of Obama’s handling of “international policies,” according to the poll from Transatlantic Trends, { A Global Leader! Like DK Research 2000! LOL – bhhm } a group that studies public opinion in the United States and the European Union.

“Overall, a 75 percent approval rating is very high, and I’m sure he would be happy to have that in the United States,” said Transatlantic Trends Director Zsolt Nyiri.

By contrast, the most recent Gallup poll put Obama’s approval rating among American voters at 43 percent.

On Tuesday night, U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann made a surprise visit to the state and had dinner with Cindy McCain.

snip
The television station reports Bachmann will hold a private fundraiser Wednesday night in the Phoenix-area.

The visits come days after Gov. Jan Brewer announced Arizona would hold its presidential primary on February 28, 2012

Brewer also announced the state will likely host a Republican presidential debate, possibly in December.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will travel to Arizona for two appearances in his bid to capture the Republican nomination for president.

He will take part in a business roundtable discussion at one of Jim Click’s dealerships (Bush Pioneer, Click family from Tejas and his now defunct bank was implicated in Contra money laundering-GG) in Tucson this morning and will hold a town hall meeting in the Phoenix suburb of Sun Lakes ( a Venice style development on a desert plain that receives less than 6 inches of preciptiation-GG)in the afternoon.

Romney finished second in Arizona’s 2008 presidential primary.

Longtime Arizona Sen. John McCain had carried the state with 47 percent of the vote, followed by Romney at 34 percent.

16. Ganjafied Gabacho - 14 September 2011: OK. So how about some noticias buenas?

The government of Mexico plans to release five endangered Mexican gray wolves this month in northeastern Sonora, the Arizona Game and Fish Department announced.

If released in the same mountain range that Mexican officials have pointed to before, the wolves would be easily within a wolf’s walking distance of Arizona.

In 2010, Mexican officials said they planned to release wolves in the Sierra San Luis, a mountain range that runs from the Chihuahua-Sonora-New Mexico border southeast to a point about 80 miles south of Douglas. The Mexican government did not go forward with a release last year.

Mexican officials reached Tuesday would not confirm the plan, but a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service confirmed they too understand Mexico is poised to release the wolves…

snip

Any wolves that cross the border into the United States would be considered fully protected endangered species, said Fish and Wildlife spokesman Tom Buckley. That means nobody may interfere with the wolves unless they are directly threatening people.

snip

The release could bring new Mexican gray wolves into contact with the wolves that are being managed in the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area of eastern Arizona and western New Mexico, something that environmentalists are hoping for.

“It’s good news,” said Michael Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity. “It’s hard to envision the Mexican wolf recovering without a population in Mexico. The heart of their range is the Sierra Madre.”

Some asshole rancher spokesperson made vague threats at the end of the article but the reality is the wolves have been on this side of the border since ’98….Viva el Lobo!
