From DonkeyDigest It's often echoed in the netroots that Sen. Hillary Clinton lacks the necessary experience to be President... unless it's Monday. Then "progressive" conventional wisdom tell us our candidate doesn't need no stinkin' experience as long as he has superior judgement. O... k! But just in case anyone else still counts experience as a criteria (seven days a week), here is partial resume of Sen. Clinton. Education Wellesley College where she majored in political science. Yale Law School, where she served on the Board of Editors of the Yale Review of Law and Social Action. Political Activist Experience Pragmatic Liberal Always fascinated by radicalism, she wrote her senior thesis on a great radical organizer of poor people, Saul Alinsky of Chicago. Though when she was offered a job by Alinsky, after she wrote about him, and she turned him down--because she didn't think he was effective enough. She said to her boyfriend at that time in politics you have to win. And it didn't look to her like Alinsky was winning enough of his battles. She came to question his methodology and concluded in her thesis that larger government programs and funding were needed, not just community action at the grass roots. She was the commencement speaker at Wellesley in 1969, chosen by her fellow students--there had never been a student commencement speaker there before. The scheduled speaker was Sen. Edward Brooke of Massachusetts, who Hillary had campaigned for, a Republican, the first black to be a member of the U.S. Senate in a hundred years. In his remarks he was patronizing, Hillary thought. He seemed to defend the Nixon administration's conduct of the war, and didn't mention the wrenching events of 68. When he finished, Hillary got up and extemporaneously excoriated him. As a result of that speech, she was featured in Life magazine as exemplary of this new generation of student leaders. They ran a picture of her in pedal pushers and her Coke-bottle glasses. That article made her well known in the student movement in the U.S. She monitored the Black Panther trial in New Haven. She monitored the trial to see if there were any abuses of the rights of the Panthers on trial, and helped schedule the monitors. Her reports were turned over to the ACLU. 1971 Senator Walter Mondale's subcommittee on migrant workers, researching migrant problems in housing, sanitation, health and education. Political Campaign Experience 1964 In high school, volunteered for Republican candidate Barry Goldwater. 1968 New Hampshire, Eugene McCarthy primary challenge to LBJ. 1972 Campaigned in the western states for 1972 Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern 1976 Jimmy Carter Presidential race, served as an Indiana campaign coordinator. The Clinton Campaigns (Bill Clinton has stated Hillary played pivotal roles in his campaigns) 1974 Bill Clinton's Congressional race (L) 1976 Bill Clinton's Attorney General race (W) 1978 Bill Clinton's Governor's Race (W) 1980 Bill Clinton's Governor's Race (L) 1982 Bill Clinton's Governor's Race (W) 1992 Bill Clinton's Presidential Race (W) 1996 Bill Clinton's Presidential Race (W) 2000 Hillary Clinton's Senate Campaign (W) 2006 Hillary Clinton's Senate Campaign (W) Legal Experience 1969 Truehaft, Walker and Bernstein in Oakland, one of the most liberal law firms in the country. They defended the Panthers. 1970 Yale University - city legal services, provided free legal advice for the poor. 1971 Staff attorney, Children's Defense Fund in Cambridge, Massachusetts 1971 Carnegie Council on Children, legal consultant. 1974 Impeachment Inquiry staff in Washington, D.C., advising the House Committee on the Judiciary during the Watergate scandal. 1974 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville School of Law - One of only two female faculty members. 1976 Rose Law Firm. In 1979, she became the first woman to be made a full partner. 1976 Worked pro bono on child advocacy. 1978 Jimmy Carter appoints Clinton to the board of the Legal Services Corporation. She was twice named by the National Law Journal as one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America, in 1988 and in 1991. First Lady of Arkansas 1979 Chaired the Rural Health Advisory Committee 1979 Introduced the Arkansas' Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youth, a program that helps parents work with their children in preschool preparedness and literacy. 1982 - 1992 Chaired the Arkansas Educational Standards Committee She was named Arkansas Woman of the Year in 1983 and Arkansas Mother of the Year in 1984. Clinton had co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families in 1977. Served on the boards of the Arkansas Children's Hospital Legal Services (1988-1992)and the Children's Defense Fund (as chair, 1986-1992) Corporate board of directors of TCBY (1985-1992),Wal-Mart Stores (1986-1992), and Lafarge (1990-1992) First Lady of the United States of America

"She's very smart ... people rightly give her credit for having been a participant in the Clinton administration and for doing some heavy lifting on issues." Barack Obama, speaking of Hillary Clinton's White House experience and contradicting Obama supporters - The Daily Show with Jon Stewart 8/22/07

When asked about his wife's role in his administration in August of 2000, President Bill Clinton said "She basically had an unprecedented level of activity in her present position over the last eight years.'' 1993 First to bring a serious universal healthcare plan to be considered by the US Congress 1997 Helped develope the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 The First Lady led the effor on the Foster Care Independence bill, to help older, unadopted children transition to adulthood. She also hosted numerous White House conferences that related to children's health, including early childhood development (1997) and school violence (1999). She lent her support to programs ranging from "Prescription for Reading," in which pediatricians provided free books for new mothers to read to their infants as their brains were rapidly developing, to nationwide immunization against childhood illnesses. She also supported an annual drive to encourage older women to seek a mammography to prevent breast cancer, coverage of the cost being provided by Medicare. Hillary Clinton was the only First Lady to keep an office in the West Wing among those of the president's senior staff. While her familiarity with the intricate political issues and decisions faced by the President, she openly discussed his work with him, yet stated that ultimately she was but one of several individuals he consulted before making a decision. They were known to disagree. Regarding his 1993 passage of welfare reform, the First Lady had reservations about federally supported childcare and Medicaid. When issues that she was working on were under discussion at the morning senior staff meetings, the First Lady often attended. Aides kept her informed of all pending legislation and oftentimes sought her reaction to issues as a way of gauging the President's potential response. Weighing in on his Cabinet appointments and knowing many of the individuals he named, she had working relationships with many of them. She persuaded Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin to convene a meeting of corporate CEOs for their advice on how companies could be persuaded to adopt better child care measures for working families. With Attorney General Janet Reno, the First Lady helped to create the Department of Justice's Violence Against Women office. One of her closest Cabinet allies was Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Following her international trips, Hillary Clinton wrote a report of her observations for Albright. A primary effort they shared was globally advocating gender equity in economics, employment, health care and education. During her trips to Africa (1997), Asia (1995), South America (1995, 1997) and the Central European former Soviet satellite nations (1997, 1998), Hillary Clinton emphasized "a civil society," of human rights as a road to democracy and capitalism. The First Lady was also one of the few international figures at the time who spoke out against the treatment of Afghani women by Islamist fundamentalist Taliban that had seized control of Afghanistan. One of the programs she helped create was Vital Voices, a U.S.-sponsored initiative to promote the participation of international women in their nation's political process. One result of the group's meetings, in Northern Ireland, was drawing together women leaders of various political factions that supported the Good Friday peace agreement that brought peace to that nation long at civil war. Hillary Clinton was also an active supporter of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), often awarding its micro-loans to small enterprises begun by women in developing nations that aided the economic growth in their impoverished communities. Certainly one of her more important speeches as First Lady addressing the need for equal rights for women was international in scope and created controversy in the nation where it was made: the September 1995 United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China. Senator From New York After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Hillary worked with her colleagues to secure the funds New York needed to recover and rebuild. She fought to provide compensation to the families of the victims, grants for hard-hit small businesses, and health care for front line workers at Ground Zero. She is the first New Yorker ever to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee. She has introduced legislation to tie Congressional salary increases to an increase in the minimum wage. She helped pass legislation that encouraged investment to create jobs in struggling communities through the Renewal Communities program. She has championed legislation to bring broadband Internet access to rural America. She worked to strengthen the Children's Health Insurance Program, which increased coverage for children in low income and working families. She authored legislation that has been enacted to improve quality and lower the cost of prescription drugs and to protect our food supply from bioterrorism. She sponsored legislation to increase America's commitment to fighting the global HIV/AIDS crisis. She's working for expanded use of information technology in the health care system to decrease administrative costs, lower premiums, and reduce medical errors. She's worked to ensure the safety of prescription drugs for children, with legislation now included in the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, and her legislation to help schools address environmental hazards. She has also proposed expanding access to child care. She has passed legislation that will bring more qualified teachers into classrooms and more outstanding principals to lead our schools. Hillary is one of the original cosponsors of the Prevention First Act to increase access to family planning. Her fight with the Bush Administration ensured that Plan B, an emergency contraceptive, will be available to millions of American women and will reduce the need for abortions. She introduced the Count Every Vote Act of 2005 to ensure better protection of votes and to ensure that every vote is counted.

From DonkeyDigest You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone... or the campaign of Barack Obama. Trailing by double digits in national polls and in many primary state polls, Team Obama is denying reality with their latest line of attack against Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. Obama's top advisor, David Axelrod, said friday Clinton is obsessed “with what she calls the Republican attack machine.” Come now, Mr. Obama, are you so confident in the blind loyalty of your supporters you think they've forgotten the history of the "Republican attack machine?" Well, let me refresh your memory. http://www.youtube.com/v/tKFYpd0q9nE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngjUkPbGwAg&mode=related&search= http://www.youtube.com/v/vLwSaWB_G90 http://www.youtube.com/v/W5LFGI74wDY http://www.youtube.com/v/EC9j6Wfdq3o The question everyone must ask of Barack Obama right now is why he feels the "Republican attack machine" should be taken lightly? Or does he feel he will be spared the smears because of his kumbaya approach to Republicans? An interesting piece from the Huffington Post takes on the latter question by listing several Republicans Obama has said he looks forward to working with - including Senator Tom Coburn, who Obama describes as a friend. Who is Coburn, you might ask? Perhaps you know him by his words:

"The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power ... That agenda is the greatest threat to our freedom that we face today. Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That's a gay agenda."

You may also recall Coburn denouncing ABC's airing of Schindler's list as smut and calling global warming "crap." Why would Mr. Obama legitimize these people to the Democratic electorate? A scorpion (the rightwing) was wandering along the bank of a river (the American electorate,) wondering how to get to the other side. (a 2008 election victory) Suddenly he saw a fox (Barack Obama.) He asked the fox to take him across the river. The fox said, "No. If I do that, you'll sting me and I'll drown." The scorpion assured him, "If I did that, we'd both drown." The fox thought about it and finally agreed. So the scorpion climbed up on his back and the fox began to swim. But halfway across the river, the scorpion stung him. As the poison filled his veins, the fox turned to the scorpion and said, "Why did you do that? Now you'll drown too." "I couldn't help it," said the scorpion. "It's my nature." Somewhere in this great country, Michael Dukakis is shaking his head. Max Cleland is wiping away a tear. John Kerry is trembling in anger. And Bill Clinton has a wry smile on his face. Superior judgement indeed, Mr. Obama.

Apparently it's OK with the NFL is he's promoting dog fights, torturing dogs and then having the great fun of killing the loser. All the NFL is worried about is if there was any gambling involved, which is crazy. Betting on yourself to lose should be the ONLY gambling crime the NFL should be concerned with. Why does the NFL take on this nanny profile when it comes to gambling? Almost every state has casinoes* now, so what's the "problem" with gambling, assuming the player isn't betting on himself to lose? Meanwhile, the judge who holds Vick's life in his hands couldn't care less if $50 was bet on some dog fight - why should the judge and the NFL see different outrages in this case?

Greyhawk says: “I’d like the idea entertained that corporations pay no taxes,” So much for the myth of the corporate person. Would you let Exxon/Mobile keep all the money they have gouged since Katrinia? Please note that came out of your pocket. Now if I tell a hospital I’m here for a tonsilectomy what happens if they amputate my foot. Please don’t be sarcastic, mistakes like that happen every day at a hospital. I used to work in one. My only option should be free health care? The person in the story repeatedly told the workers no cheese. If I place an order should I not get exactly what I order? Now as to the finger thing, I agree and if I remember correctly the two people were prosecuted for fraud and Wendy’s won a civil action against their future earnings as well. The system can work both ways. Greyhawk, I hope I'm not coming across as sarcastic in the following. Here are my thoughts: You are right about the corporation being treated as an individual under the law; a corporate person being a myth especially since many like Exxon/Mobile are international rather than American. Concerning corporations paying federal income taxes, they should not, the same as business and individuals should not. One reason is because the influence of corporations has largely resulted in the mess we now have for tax law. Their corporate attorneys and lobbyists have twisted the IRS into so many knots they'd rather audit you and me! So, not only do corporations avoid taxes through off-shore banking schemes and high priced attorneys, they have made tax avoidance an art form. This would all go away under the FairTax. Corporations would pay tax at the retail level just like everyone else and they could then bring the billions off-shore home (which would be good for the economy) and dump their tax attorneys and lobbyists. I can't understand why oil depletion tax allowances continue to exist. The oil companies themselves have repeatedly said they don't need the tax write-offs. Concerning hospital mistakes, my point was that the individual shouldn't necessarily be able to sue for so much that he's wildly wealthy for the rest of his life. Yet hospitals shouldn't get of easily either. There has to be a balance. Free health care as part of a settlement was mentioned as an option, just an idea. It was just a thought. If you place an order with a food service thing, you should get what you ordered, of course. But if you are deathly allergic to cheese wouldn't you open up the burger and look inside? But this doesn't set McDonalds free of all responsibility - don't get me wrong. To repeat something I'd said earlier, corporations don't really pay taxes anyway. They pass that expense on to the consumer in the form of higher prices. With the FairTax all would pay taxes at the retail level including corporations and the federal government. A corporation pretending to pay federal income tax is sort of like a state having both state income tax and state sales tax. It's redundant and unnecessary. Additionally if corporations are "set free" from paying taxes, they should also be forced into real competition with each other, straining to give the consumer the best possible price and paying with large fines and mandatory jail time for secret cartels and price fixing. Hope this is an adequate set of answers. Grimmy

  Whore Post Bush entered risky rhetorical territory - likening the war in Iraq to Vietnam. It's an analogy Bush typically avoids, given how strongly Vietnam is associated in the national consciousness with the concept of quagmire -- and with its lesson about the limits of American military power. But Bush tried to turn the Vietnam analogy on its head, arguing that the U.S. withdrawal led to disaster there and emboldened American enemies around the globe. He even went so far as to argue that present-day terrorists like bin Laden are inspired by the turning of American public opinion against the war in Vietnam. Bush's speech was a big hit at the Kansas City VFW, but it's hard to imagine that it will go over nearly as well with a wider audience -- not to mention with historians. The obvious lesson of Vietnam is not that leaving a quagmire leads to disaster, but that staying only makes things worse. (And oh yes: that we shouldn't get into them in the first place.)

Michael Vick wanted to prove how tough he was, so he volunteered to go into a room with bin Laden, Hitler, and Charles Manson. He said, "I ain't goin' in there without my gun and my guard dog." So, they gave him a gun with three bullets, and a pit bull. Vick and the dog entered the room, saw Manson, Hitler, and bid Laden ....and then Vick shot the dog three times.

 Link As Karl Rove exits stage right with his ruined dreams of rightist hegemony, all the political signs and portents tell us that America is turning the other way. No doubt the departing 'boy genius' would dispute that assertion as liberal wishful thinking, as would many on the right. But they cannot so easily dismiss The Economist, an avowedly conservative voice that is among the oldest and most respected periodicals in the world. Framing the shift on the cover of its Aug. 11 issue with a question - 'Is America turning left?'- the magazine’s editors conclude in their lead essay that the answer is yes, probably. 'Having recaptured Congress last year, the Democrats are on course to retake the presidency in 2008,' which blames the destruction of the vaunted Republican machine on the ideological excess and breathtaking incompetence of Bush as well as the sleaziness of the G.O.P. leadership in Congress."

 LA Times "The CIA never developed an overall strategy for confronting Al Qaeda and let precious resources and capabilities go unused in the years leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks, according to an internal investigation that the agency had fought to keep secret for the last two years. The report from the agency's inspector general, declassified Tuesday, adds disturbing new details to an already extensive public record of Sept. 11-related failures. Among them was the revelation that long before the attacks, as many as 60 officers in the CIA had seen cables indicating that two Al Qaeda operatives -- who went on to reside in San Diego -- had entered the United States or possessed travel documents that would let them do so. The report, which was completed in 2005, also made the case that George Tenet and other top officials should face further scrutiny within the agency to determine whether they should be reprimanded for having any roles in the breakdowns." Bart says: Reprimanded? Bush gave him a medal for doing such a great job!

I wondered, “Why are some liberals against going to a FairTax?” Then an acquaintance of mine hit me over the head with the obvious and the dawn came: It’s because the idea is being put forward by Neal Boortz, a right-wing conservative talk show radio guy. I can’t help that. I’ve never even heard Boortz talk show. Just the same, the FairTax is an excellent idea. Why don’t you liberals take the idea as your own? The Great and All Powerful Rush Limbaugh (whose radio show I’m not worthy to listen to) says Clinton took away ideas from conservatives and adopted them during his presidential campaigns. So why not you? The idea is bigger than the man. The FairTax is an excellent idea (so say I) which is worthy of exploration. Have any of you had to tussle with the IRS? This proposal would get the IRS entirely out of individual’s lives. No more 1040’s. No more federal income tax. No more social security tax. No more tax taken out of seniors’ social security checks. Please get a copy of the FairTax book and secretly (under the blankets with a flashlight) read it. You will be delighted. In the book are answers to questions such as “How does this benefit the poor?” The FairTax can easily become a Democrat sponsored idea. I don’t care; I just want it for our country.

"A Card for You"- "Virtual Card For You"-or "Postcard" Virus Warning-Fiction! Summary of the eRumor The eRumor warns of a virus just discovered by Mcafee and classed by Microsoft as the most destructive ever. It says the virus destroys "Sector Zero" from the heard disk, sends itself to all the names in your email address book, wipes out the hard disk, and has caused a panic in New York, according to CNN. It says that the subject will be "A Card for You", "Virtual Card for You", or "Postcard." The Truth This email is a hoax. It has circulated continuously on the Internet since at least 2001. There is no known virus called "A card for you" or "A virtual card for you." In July, 2007, someone added "Postcard" to the story and said that it had been verified as a true virus. It is true that there was a virus that appeared in the summer of 2007 with a subject line of: "You've received a postcard from a family member." There were several other variations of the subject line that talked about a "card" or a "greeting card." But that virus had nothing to do with this false warning about "A card for you" or "A virtual card for you" and the warning that CNN had termed it the worst virus ever. Neither Microsoft nor McAfee has had anything to say about it except that it is a hoax. The CNN part of the eRumor was added by someone along the way.

Greyhawk says: I would like to know if your position is that a person who has been the victim of a bad injury at the hands of another should have no legal recourse. What do you say to this case http://www.dailymail.com/story/News/2007081043/Man-says-hold-the-cheese-claims-McDonalds-didnt-sues-for-10-million/ I don’t think an individual should become wealthy as a result of a court action against a corporation. This is because in the long run, corporations don’t pay, the customers do. As in taxes, corporations imbed their other costs of doing business into the product cost. I’m sure you realize this, but perhaps it’s worth repeating. The same thing with corporate income taxes. I’d like the idea entertained that corporations pay no taxes, but are gone over with a fine tooth comb continually to make sure they are really in competition with each other. Not paying taxes (which expense is passed onto the consumer) and being in real competition are ways of guaranteeing that we get the best price when we buy stuff at the store. GW, for example was wrong in giving HAL non-competitive contracts. All contracts should be put out for competitive bid. The same for McDonalds. They shouldn’t be sued for some outrageous sum, yet it should be enough so it isn’t worth it to them, and so they will have incentive to take corrective action if possible. The young man in question, being deathly allergic to cheese would naturally have checked the burger himself. Right? So I’m suspicious. One of the reasons, supposedly, that medical costs are so high is the cost of liability insurance. So how much should a man get if the hospital accidentally removes his testicles when he’s in just to have his intestinal tract inspected (if you inspect the whole tract of the large intestine they put you out I’m told). I don’t have a good answer, but it should be so painful to the hospital that the hospital never, ever does it again. How about free care for him and all his relatives for the rest of their lives at any hospital, and a complete external audit to see if the hospital had done other things that people have quietly decided to live with rather than sue, then compensation for them as well. On the other hand, what should be done to people who fake putting fingers into chili? Make then very financially libel so they won’t try again to victimize the evil corporation. We are in a situation where doctors and hospitals are in it strictly for the money rather than being of service to the community and taking pride in good work done. At the same time, no one should be a multimillionaire because of an honest mistake. Sorry for being long-winded, I don’t have any bright ideas here; I’ve not studied the medical issue very well.

Link The Cuban news service reports that George W. Bush has purchased 98,840 acres in Paraguay, near the Bolivian/Brazilian border.  There were no press conferences, no public sightings and no official confirmation of her 10-day trip which apparently ended this week. The Paraguayan Senate voted last summer to “grant U.S. troops immunity from national and International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction.” Immediately afterwards, 500 heavily armed U.S. troops arrived with various planes, choppers and land vehicles at Mariscal Estigarribia air base, which happens to be at the northern tip of Paraguay near the Bolivian/Brazilian border. More have reportedly arrived since then. Bart says: That's why I think Bush is leaving office early. Once he's out, if the Kuwaitis decide to keep his stolen billions, what could private citizen Bush do?  Hire a lawyer? He's got to get paid WHILE IN OFFICE to ensure payment. Once that money's deposited in the proper shadowy spots, I think they'll walk out the door and say, "It's all yours."

According to reports, disgraced sexual predator Republican Representative Mark Foley will not be facing sex charges for his sick overtures to teenage pages in Congress. Over the last few days it has been reported that the courts will not allow Federal investigators to examine computers Foley used while he was as representative. Because Foley used the computers in his congressional office to solicit the minor pages it is impossible for the Feds to prosecute Foley without access to his computers. While there is some new evidence that may nail Foley, it is truly unfortunate that someone as sick and twisted as Foley was to solicit innocent teenage pages, will get away with only losing his congressional seat. Members of Congress do deserve some element of protection for their correspondence when it comes to official business, however using federal government computers to break the law by soliciting sex from minors is not something that should be protected. Foley essentially admitted his guilt by resigning. Now the Feds should get the information they need and send Foley to a nice prison where he can receive some of his own medicine. The only problem with that is, he might like it.
