Pelosi says Democrats must do more to stop the war
Zachary Coile, Chronicle Washington Bureau
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, talking on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the House vote to authorize the Iraq war, acknowledged Tuesday that the failure to end the war is hurting Democrats in Congress and lawmakers will have to take bolder action.
The San Francisco Democrat, in a wide-ranging lunch discussion with reporters, said her party’s successes in passing domestic legislation - such as raising the minimum wage and helping make college more affordable - were being overshadowed.
“It is in fact true, though, that the war has eclipsed everything,” she said. “While I’m very proud of the ratings that Democrats have on every issue we can name, I don’t disagree with the public evaluation that we have not done well in ending this war.”
The comments echoed some of the criticisms made by anti-war activists and some lawmakers, who have urged House Democratic leaders to take a more confrontational approach with the White House, by cutting off money for the war.

Okay, so OT is okay, I will repost from below. (found while checking out the Malkin piece at NYT)
Has to do with how the “food pyramid” came into being, with fats being the baddies. My second try came bec. I saw the comment about the fried Mars bar.
Sorry, the only way I could get this to post was using the print feature. But, there are so many folks out there who have put themselves in total diet misery trying to avoid fats. The article details how the recommendation to avoid fats came about, and cascaded into a totally wrong “scientific consensus”. It’s really the carbs that are the problem, not the fat. etc.
And, I do have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about this, bec. I have long been suspicious of the “fat is bad” take on eating.
Diet and Fat: A Severe Case of Mistaken Consensus
~~~The evidence that dietary fat correlates with heart disease “does not stand up to critical examination,” the American Heart Association concluded in 1957. But three years later the association changed position — not because of new data, Mr. Taubes writes, but because Dr. Keys and an ally were on the committee issuing the new report. It asserted that “the best scientific evidence of the time” warranted a lower-fat diet for people at high risk of heart disease.
The association’s report was big news and put Dr. Keys, who died in 2004, on the cover of Time magazine. The magazine devoted four pages to the topic — and just one paragraph noting that Dr. Keys’s diet advice was “still questioned by some researchers.” That set the tone for decades of news media coverage. Journalists and their audiences were looking for clear guidance, not scientific ambiguity.
After the fat-is-bad theory became popular wisdom, the cascade accelerated in the 1970s when a committee led by Senator George McGovern issued a report advising Americans to lower their risk of heart disease by eating less fat. “McGovern’s staff were virtually unaware of the existence of any scientific controversy,” Mr. Taubes writes, and the committee’s report was written by a nonscientist “relying almost exclusively on a single Harvard nutritionist, Mark Hegsted.”~~~ (snip)

Nine Republican congressmen have so far announced that they will not be running for re-election. One of those lawmakers, Rep.

Christine,
As for Annie, I’m a little disappointed. I still look at the Peace album as her best recent work. Just my opinion though.
Trex, you always scoop the new music. Thanks :0
Time for me to follow LL to bed.
Wait, that didn’t come out right.
You know what I mean. Dirty minds, the lot of you.
Goodnight, all.
Saw the sign in front of church in town this weekend - said having the right does not make it right.

*waving to the leaving sleepy pups*
VG in my back to the land days on my one acre hobby farm, I read an article about comparing heart disease in the US and N. Europe in relationship to milk intake. The big difference was that milk in the US was homogenized and was only Pasteurized. There was a lot of research and found that when milk is homogenized the fat molecule is broken down which makes it easier to be absorbed in the intestinal track.
Also about all the testing in the 60-70’s on cholesterol. Funny thing is that all the tests they based ALL their health info on was done in rabbits. They were feeding rabbits eggs, Cheese and meats. Funny thing, that diet raised their cholesterol. It was only years later after a whole industry was built around lowering cholesterol via “bad food” that a repeat test using rabbits and a mouthy farm hand who told the testers… you scientists are really dumb because rabbits are vegans. Feeding them that diet nearly killed the rabbits.

Thanks for the info! And, if you read the article, it talks about a “cascade of consensus”. It is pernicious.

GOP Opposes Attempt To Revise Wiretap Law

Just maybe one of my local TeeVee stations has learned to present both sides of a story…. They reported on the latest Terra warning but also reported that it just might be a political plot to get the Democrats of fold on the latest FISA bill.
I just am shocked… did something happen when I was in hospital to shut off the kool-aid to my local media?
WOW… In ARIZONA too….
Suzanne @ 80
Swift resistance from this WH is pretty much “9/11! 9/11! 9/11! Fear! Fear! Fear!”.. the official warning out today of a brand spankin’ new AQ plot to *gasp* infiltrate operatives into the US, was simply hilarious
No comment at all on this one, but I suspect y’all WILL have a good time:

unfortunately, on the same day, the supremes refused to hear the complaint of a German national kidnapped by CIA, disappeared, tortured and then dumped on the grounds that acknowledging that this man may have some rights would undermine American “state security”… effectively giving shrubco leave to disappear and torture well, anybody, for any reason.

As the topic was Burma I was thinking of China’s treatment of Tibetans which was not all that dissimilar to the junta’s tactics in Burma. Given the physical vastness of China and its huge and diverse peoples I don’t know that I even could stereotype it, even if I wanted to.
Heading off to bed…. see ya all tomorrow…
