Hello, everyone! Thought I’d (mostly!) take a break from politics again to talk pretty pictures.
The pretty picture to the left was taken a couple of weeks ago on a bridge overlooking a river gorge on the Willard Munger State Trail between Duluth and Carlton, Minnesota. (More pretty pictures of the view from that bridge can be found here.) The gorge looks deeper than it should as the area is in the midst of a drought; though, what with some of the torrential rains that came through on Thursday night (Tower, Minnesota up on Da Range got nearly nine inches of rain!), that might not be the case any more.
Fall has arrived with a bang — or a thunderclap — here in Minnesota. In the southern part of the state by the Twin Cities, we’re finally rid of the 90-degree temps we’ve had most of the past week; Thursday’s storms rolled through in front of two cool fronts, and now things are much more bearable around here. I really should be out on my bike heading on down to the Farmers’ Market so I can pick up some bison burgers!
Speaking of thunderclaps: Remember the huge rains of the last part of August? The ones that flooded big chunks of the Midwest, including southeastern Minnesota? Well, a certain Margaret Martin — who just happens to be married to Minnesota (Rich) Taxpayers’ League bigwig David Strom — is claiming that a couple of private $150,000 donations can take care of $72 million of flood damage in our state ($60 million in the city of Rushford alone, which was nearly wiped off the map), thus we don’t need to have a dangerous special session that might force rich people to pay more taxes. And as far as I know, she hasn’t dropped any purple microdot recently.
So what’s shakin’ in your neck of the woods?

Hi PW!
Good to see you, Phoenix Woman.
told downstairs….
Hi PW..
Is it snowing in Bemidji yet?
“And as far as I know, she hasn’t dropped any purple microdot recently.”
sounds more like bad windowpane…
I’ve heard of bison burgers, what is the taste like? are they like beef in anyway? I’m dying to find out !
Snow?
Wow…. it will be 110 this weekend in Phoenix ;)
Linda Gomez @ 8
They’re yummy. They taste almost like you’d already seasoned the meat.
From Consortiumnews.com
however, in the spirit of pretty pictures, here is one (more if you use to get next pages)

Heh! Not yet, though they might be getting frost this weekend. (Here in the Cities, we’ll be seeing overnight temps in the forties tonight! Nice sleeping weather, especially considering it was 90F two days ago!)
“DO NOT EAT THE BROWN ACID!”
PW: I don’t know about 9 inches. Embarrass reported 5 inches. I know we got at least 4 & very happy about that. I have not seen water flowing in the ditches since May. We can’t remember a day (over 12 hours) with alternating downpours like that in a couple of years.
All that rain just got sucked up by the earth, very little standing water left.
ironranger @ 14
Virgina got the most — 8.80. Tower wasn’t far behind.
But yes, it was much needed! (Would have been better about a month earlier, though.)
Did a bridge over Highway 1 wash out?

Good morning to you too, E!

Not so pretty picture here: The Boston Globe has an AP piece on how the Isr*eli fly over of Syria may be linked to plans afoot to bomb Iran.
http://www.boston.com/news/wor…..questions/
And last night on Washington Week, when the columnist from Newsweek said that the WH needs Congressional approval to bomb Iran, the two Rethugs vociferously refuted her.
And who was it that removed the “no Iran bombing” from the bill earlier this summer? Our own Rahm Emmanuel who holds dual citizenship with Isr*el, serving in the army there (thanks to a reader here yesterday). Do we really allow people with dual citizenship to serve in Congress. In this case, which country is he supporting in allowing the WH to bomb Iran without Congressional oversight?
I wonder also if the USAF moving of nuclear warheads from North Dakota to Louisiana, isn’t also part of this planning?
Outside of that, it is hot and bone dry here (no rain for nearly a month), and when I went out for my 5 mile run, it was like running in a dust bowl. Trees are dying everywhere – and this is New England.
So what’s shakin’ in your neck of the woods?
Well, there’s this little tropical thingy spinnin’ its way in the direction of the Carolinas at last tell. ;-( Send good thoughts in our direction for some desperately needed rain………..and nothin’ else.
I am so unhip. What is purple microdot?
Oh and buffalo burgers are THE BEST. Higher in protein and lower in fat that skinless chicken breat. Full of iron. And because buffalo refuse to eat on feed lots and will literally starve to death on them, buffalo are all free range and mostly grass fed.
because they are native to North America, the don’t need antibiotics because their own immune systems are sufficient.
Just about the only way to raise them succesfully has been free range and injection free. Huzzah!
And they taste great. It’s a stronger “beef” taste. Not gamey, just like super beefy. So it is reaaly really great for ground beef dishes like chili or meatballs because the “beefy” taste really comes through.
ALso if you can get them, buffalo fillet mignon—to die for. Just keep them medium rare or less. DO NOT overcook buffalo or you end up with a hocky puck.
Back when Ex Mr. Prop and I still entertained, we would fire up the BBQ in snowstorms to do Buffallo fillet on the grill for very elegant dinner parties.
I spent Labor Day weekend in Niagara Falls. No pictures, but it was soooo beautiful.
The new meme is “Killing Bin Ladin really doesn’t matter” unless of course you’re Bill Clinton.
Gonna be fun to watch this play out. Freddie Hollywood has kick-started it right into his campaign. And they’re pushing it at Patterico too.
Everybody be sure to remind them of wy BushCo hasn’t wanted to kill Bin Ladin.
Ever.
PW: Wow, I hadn’t heard that Virginia got that much.
The bridge on Hwy 1 that is near Tower has been in the process of being replaced for awhile now, not washed out. I actually traveled that way yesterday. The detour around the bridge is a dirt road & that was slow going after the rain left it like a washboard.
74°F
Mostly Cloudy
Wind: W at 8 mph

I’m having a little cognitive dissonance here. Isn’t Phoenix Woman from Phoenix?

One of the variants of acid.
My own experience with it was sharing 2 tabs between four of us, taken on the statehouse lawn in Denver one sunny August afternoon.
Played the best foosball of my life that night then we crashed on the sixteenth green of the Denver Municipal golf course.
The next morning the groundskeepers turned the sprinklers on all around us but spared us a soaking. When we asked them why, they said we just looked so peaceful sleeping there…

Beautiful picture. I was up at Voyageur’s National Park in August and they were happy whenever they got rain. My parents will be up in Duluth this month, then driving up along Superior on a “scenic” tour.
Dakine01, thanks for answering my question on Ernest Fitzgerald on the previous post’s comments.
Franken???
Oh BTW- Hagel out!!!!!!!!
I like this time of year here in Oregon because the skies get interesting. It’s after the cloudless summer stretch but before we get socked in at the end of October – like this sunrise pic I took of Mt. Hood.
Waccamaw @ 19
Will do!
Microdot was always for chool days. We saved the windowpane for weekends. Blotter was for the summer when the drought happened. Mescaline was for concerts ( you could always tell when Wishbone Ash was coming because a big load of those horse caps would hit town.)
Orange sunshine was for the beach.
make that school days.
TJ @ 25
No, Phoenix Woman is from the Twin Cities. The “Phoenix” of her name comes from the mythical regenerating birdie.
ironranger @ 23
Oh, good! Thanks.
OT – liberal oasis podcasts are up – in case anyone wants to give Christy a listen *g*.
Hagel quits race. Link.
And that evolution isn’t complete.
Speaking of pretty pictures, those of you out there with high speed might enjoy Jock Cooper’s Fractal Animations.
Remember, all of the images are mathematical equations and none of the pictures actually move in the animations.
What you are seeing is the illusion of motion created by panning in and out.
Fascinating.
We had a show last night at Spring Mountain Ranch up in the Red Rock area west of Vegas. Beautiful place. (Shot a ton of pics, just a handful up thus far)
Also, the band’s new CD arrives next week (it’s in duplication). Here’s a free bonus download, a salsa-ish cover of Bill Wither’s “Use Me”.
One other crazy pic I took of sunrises that are more likely this time of year:

Phoenix Woman @ 36
Then I’m sure there’s a better story behind your name than if you were from Phoenix. I feel like I’ve just been introduced to you! You’ve been a great addition to front-pagers here.
also, in my neck of the woods, the weather having been so lovely, there have been more sightings of the Strong Ducks, snerk!

Willard Munger State Trail, named after Willard Munger, a distant relative. I’d heard about him and about the trail. Thanks for sharing the pictures, Christy.
Willard Munger was part of our family who went from Connecticut and upstate New York to the upper Midwest in the 1830s and 1840s. My daddy’s forebears went instead to Texas, where they farmed and ranched near Austin during that same time. Willard was a close friend to Hubert Humphrey, and was fairly progressive, IIRC.
Ann in AZ @ 30
Your quite welcome. I wiki’d him before I posted and noticed the info was a bit sparse but he was one of my heroes in government service.

David Ehrenstein @ 22
Oh, exactly. If he were serious about getting Bin Ladin, he would have sent 100,000 troops to Afghanistan — where, unlike in Iraq, they would have done some good — and kept them there, instead of immediately pulling out all but a token force so that he could go invade Iraq.
Ed*ard Teller @ 47
Yup, yup and yup. Except I’m not Christy — though I’m flattered that you think I am. ;-)
mui @ 46
My question is, can the Dem’s coopt him for the rest of his term? It would be great if he could go out making a difference in the vote count.
TJ @ 54
I dunno know about that. He’s mad about Iraq. But still apparatchnik Repuglican on a whole lotta other issue.
Phoenix Woman @ 53
Sorry, Phoenix Woman! makes sense – Minnesota! Yeah, Willard Munger was a distant relative. Doing some checking. He was called “Mr. Environment,” and served longer in the Minnesota Legislature than anybody.

There is NO WAY this is the same person. Take a long detailed look. Look at the eyes, the shape of the eyebrows, the width of the forehead, the location of the ears in relation to the cheekbones, the mouth, etc.
No way, Jose.
Piggybacking on what David Ehrenstein mentioned earlier, I thought I’d pass this on from The Consortium:

Good morning PW, Just a little heads up, I sent you a lovely link collection via gmail this week…)
Jack Goldsmith was on Bill Moyers last night.. Well worth a watch online if anyone missed it.
Temps dropped and rains fell on the Ozark mountains this week.. It is now pitch black before 8 pm.. Time to start gathering wood for winter fires.
LS @ 57
I agree. The first and most prominent thing I noticed is that he appears to have a much more bulbous nose. And the eyes are quite different, if you ask me. Wonder who is trying to fool who? Bush needs him to fulfill his symbiotic role?
IRT Hagel. Why do you think he’s quitting? He’s relatively young. And, why do you think he backed off on running for pres? That presser he had was meant to announce something and he backed off the last second.
I think he’s being blackmailed. I think most of them are. Blackmailed or bribed.
And, what worries me most is that I think Chief Justice Roberts is too. I keep picturing Rove/Cheney laughing at their good fortune of finding someone capable of serving on the Supreme Court who is in the closet.
LS @ 57
soon as I saw the beard I thought they couldn’t possibly confirm it’s bin laden
clark’s explanaition that he might have shaved the beard to blend in where he lives wouldn’t fly among the muslims so I don’t buy that
I think the prez is seriously out of touch.
AP – President Bush, facing a critical juncture in the war, urged Democrats and Republicans on Saturday to unite and back the war strategy he’ll lay out shortly for the next chapter of U.S. involvement in Iraq.
Phoenix Woman @ 58
the democrast have to punish him for statements like that and they have to punish him each and everytime he tries to associate terrorism, bin laden, al qaeda with Iraq
they have to call him
“politically challenged and each and every time he associates the two it shows us how little he cares about terrorism”
embarrass him every time he does it and disabuse him from the tool he thinks he enjoys
I can’t believe bin Laden survived the winter of 2001-2002.
Beautiful photo PW. That weather is what we have had in Vermont as well: drought and torrential rains. Some very intense weather.
The only thing I could take from Hagel’s quitting is that I think he’s being blackmailed out. Or, maybe he’s tired of the rat race and he’s gonna go sell shoes.

Well… the Bush Administration wanted an Iraq PM who reflected it’s core values didn’t they?
U.S. officials say the battle to clean up Iraq’s government has suffered a “serious blow” with the resignation of the nation’s top corruption fighter. The former watchdog, Judge Radhi Al Radhi, tells NBC News that Iraq’s current government, headed by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, is riddled with so much corruption that the U.S. must stop supporting it.

My sense of Roberts is that like Thomas and Scalia, he is a member of Opus Dei, a radical right wing catholic sect very into authoritarianism, conservativism etc. This is probably how he was able to adopt two kids from Ireland, something otherwise against the law in that country. Some of the more rigid Opus Dei cult members do not allow themselves to have sex, hence perhaps the need to adopt.
looseheadprop @ 82
I don’t think JFK was a huge fan of LBJ either.
Oklahoma kiddo @ 78
That’s why I think Gore is the only acceptable answer to who should be our next candidate for President. I think the issue is way more important than the next biggest issue, the war in Iraq, which itself is really a big issue. Also, you never hear anyone analyze what effect warfare has on global warming, or what a regional or world war would have. I can’t imagine it wouldn’t be devastating.
Richmond
Are you saying that Scalia, Thomas and ROberts all belong to Opus Dei? Did I get that right?
Are you sure? This is based on …?
You mean the cilice wearing, cat and nine tails whipping, super-numeraries can’t have sex within marriage (or out of it) Opus Dei?
How did I miss news like that?
Countrywide to cut 12,000 jobs savings and loan fiasco meet subprime fiasco, both, brought to you by Brush & Co.
looseheadprop @ 86
I think the evidence is circumstantial, given that Opus Dei members are notoriously secretive about their affiliation to that order. Scalia likely got Thomas to convert. Scalia and Thomas both go to the only church in the DC area which has a priest with Opus Dei connections and still serves Mass in Latin. Roberts, I don’t know. He’s Catholic, but don’t know about his religious habits. Scalia’s wife is reportedly a member of the Opus Dei auxiliary, but Scalia himself has deflected questions about his association with them without saying one way or another.
Ann in AZ @ 85
Just during the last six months, the media up here in Alaska have gone from somewhat downplaying the effect of global warming on our climate to covering the subject and its relationship to Alaska every day. This in spite of companies like Exxon-Mobil and other mineral extraction dinosaurs being the major sources of ad revenue for the print and broadcast media here.
Bill Durston has decided to run against Lungren!!!! He ran last time and did fairly well considering he started late, had NO money, and no name recognition. It would be important and wonderful if we could get behind him like we did with Ned Lamont. Lungren is not smart, reactionary, supports the war, and moved to the CD
from southern cali to run. If you would like to know more about Durston go to durstonforcongress!!!!

Trouble in Paradise?
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger rebuked his own California Republican Party during an address Friday at its annual fall convention in Indian Wells, suggesting that the state GOP may have a defeatist mentality and calling on the party to woo independent voters to regain power.
“In movie terms, we would say we are dying at the box office,” Schwarzenegger declared, according to an audio recording. “We are not filling the seats.”
Mike Spence, president of the California Republican Assembly, which represents conservatives, blamed the party’s troubles on Schwarzenegger’s lack of inspiring leadership.
“It’s classic Arnold, coming to a Republican Party convention to talk about non-Republican ideas,” Spence said in a phone interview. “If we’re dying, it’s because we’re relying on an actor to spread our message and he’s not spreading our message. He’s spreading a ‘post-partisan’ message that we surrender to Democrats in the Legislature.”

This is as we get news that polar bears will be gone within the first half of this century. I fear their fate is sealed. The icebergs are melting so fast now that the scientists are getting increasingly alarmed, so I think that’s why it’s being more publicized. Inhofe has got to go, as does Stevens and all the other dinosaurs that are obstructing everyone else’s efforts to do something about global warming.
I read an article the other day about all the green cars that are out but are illegal for purchase in all but a few states due to some of our laws. We have unions and others complaining about cafe standards. They say well, they only want an extra 4 years to retool. I say, then you should have thought of that four years earlier, because that four years may mean life or death to our species. We’re late coming to this party. We have a lot of ground to make up.

and LS, I agree that the two pictures of Bin Laden do not look alike. Eyes, ears, nose and even mouth look different. If it’s him, he’s been injured and his face altered.

No no no! Those pictures are faked. Northern Minnesota is a vast boggy wasteland, beset by giant bloodsucking insects and tiny invisible bloodsucking insects and green-and-orange swimming bloodsucking invertebrates. Winter lasts pretty much all year. Do not go there.
” The original expose of the B-52 flight appeared in the newspaper Army Times (http://www.armytimes.com/news/2007/09/marine_nuclear_B52_070904w/). Staff writer Michael Hoffman writes that his initial source for the story was three officers “who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to discuss the incident.”
So this is a case where some military officers who knew something wrong was happening did the honorable, patriotic thing and went public with a publication they trusted, both to do the right thing, and to protect them.
So what is going on here?
Salla suggests the worst: that this was likely a deliberate action, ordered through a chain of command outside the Pentagon. Salla notes that it has been widely reported that the top brass in the US military (note: with the exception of some wackoes in the Air Force), have staunchly opposed any use of nuclear weapons in the event of an air attack on Iran. So an order to send nuclear-armed cruise missiles to the Persian Gulf region, if that’s what this flight was, would not likely have come through the normal chain of command from the Secretary of Defense through the Strategic Air Command. It would, Salla hints darkly, have come through the back channel set up since even before 9-11 by Vice President Dick Cheney, who is known to be pushing for an attack on Iran, and who would like nothing better than to use nuclear weapons to disable Iran’s nuclear processing facilities.
We’re talking about treason here, if Salla is right.
And the seriousness of what happened—five nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, in firing position, flown across the width of the continental US in violation of all standing orders to a base that is a staging area for B-52 flights to the Persian Gulf war zone—demands a full public investigation.
`The Democrats in charge of Congress, and the Republican minority, may not have the stomach to stand up to the Bush administration’s obsession to keep the bloodletting going in Iraq, and they may not have the courage even to put a stop to plans to attack Iran, but even the most reprehensible weasels and cowards among them should have the basic decency to know that this bizarre and suspicious flight needs to be investigated to the fullest to get to the bottom of what was going on.
Salla suggests that behind the scenes, Gates and the generals, who clearly distrust and dislike the vice president and who don’t want an Iran attack, will use this incident to go after the vice president and force him into a “medical” resignation. He says that the exposure of the flight will also put any attack on Iran on hold, because military leaders will be worried that there are other nuclear weapons that have been introduced into the equation secretly, either for use in Iraq or for a “black flag” operation against US forces.
Let us hope so they are right, and that this will be Cheney’s undoing.”

I was at a music festival last week, and I was offered a MicroPurple by an enterprising youth, that was very sweet.
