George Tiller, a Wichita physician, was assassinated this morning while attending church serves in Kansas.
Tiller, 67, was shot just after 10 a.m. at Reformation Lutheran Church at 7601 E. 13th, where he was a member of the congregation. Witnesses and a police source confirmed Tiller was the victim.
No information has been released about whether a suspect is in custody. Police said they are looking for white male who was driving a 1990s powder blue Ford Taurus with Kansas license plate 225 BAB. [...]
Tiller has long been a focal point of protest by abortion opponents because his clinic, Women’s Health Care Services at 5701 E. Kellogg, is one of the few in the country where late-term abortions are performed.
Tiller has long been a target for right-wing criticism, has been shot before, and his medical clinic vandalized earlier this month.
We often hear Conservative Christian Republic Party (CCRP) members and their Main Stream Media Bimbo Bobblehead Spokescreatures On TV And In The Local Press (MSMBBSTVAITLP) cliche their opposition as having Drank the Kool Aid, implying the so called Liberal Democrats to be Jonestown like ill-educated barefoot religious fanatics blindly following a charismatic leader into suicide. Hmmmm… Reality, which is as we shall see a problem for the aformentioned CCRP, is that the cliche itself – Drink the Kool Aid – predates Jonestown by about twelve years, and refers to the use of LSD – a psychoactive drug – forty years ago as chronicled by Tom Wolfe in The Electric Acid Kool Aid Test. Altered perceptions, seperate realities, heightened consciousness, all that.
I reject this as Projection Phenomenon. The CCRP and their MSMBBSTVAITLP would never consider themselves ignorant rubes blindly following a charismatic leader to suicide, even subconsciously. Accusing the so called Liberals as Fascist is a projection, a distraction, from their own Corporatist Authoritarian Dominion agenda – from their own fascism – Drink the Kool Aid is not. Rather, it is a fundamental example of their inability to embrace reality, a rejection of their own subconscious knowledge that they are in fact On Drugs (Ambein, Prosaic, Viagra), Ignorant (lack a cognitive education), and Reject Reality (blind subscription to fairy tales).

how all the “A” list bloggers beg for money. All the time.
Two weeks ago I had life-saving insurance-less emergency surgery, the power-supply for my laptop has been dead over a month or so, and, oh, did I mention that I’m homeless. It is, afterall, right there in the title.
I ain’t askin’ nobody for nothin’…
Crybabies.

As promised yesterday, here are more photos and stories from people around Oregon about their love for the Metolius region.
More defaults by unemployed homeowners could shunt more houses onto an already saturated market, economists said, dragging prices down farther. “We’re still caught in this vicious cycle,” said Patrick Newport, an economist at IHS Global Insight. “These numbers were horrible, and they’re going to get worse. This problem’s going to be with us for a while.”

Yes, we, the United States of A-Merry-Ca (copyright the field negro), have the greatest health care in the world — for billionaires, that is. For the rest of us? Have you ever consider taking a medical vacation to that sunny land south of the border? No really. Because a million plus Californians apparently feel the need to seek assistance for the medical conditions in that land we Gringos love to denigrate for its third world status, bad economy and swine flu — Mexico! *

The economic arguments for those who seek to build destination resorts at the Metolius have seemed compelling, at least to some in the Oregon Legislature. After all, a great big bunch of Oregonians are out of work right now. I’ve heard the phrase “family wage jobs” bandied about, as if being a hotel maid or a waitress is a job that can support a family. Nevertheless, a job is a job if it comes with a paycheck, no matter how small. Apparently that’s enough to lay waste to one of Oregon’s great natural treasures.
But all over Oregon, people are speaking out in favor of keeping this pristine and beautiful area protected. Some of them have sent emails to legislators and with the author’s permission, I’m posting their stories along with some photos (click photos to enlarge them, please).
We have an opportunity to preserve one of Oregon’s most special places. I hope the stories from these folks will compel you to talk with your state legislators about protecting this important treasure.
the Reincarnation Bank. You put a bunch of money in now, and then when you die and are reincarnated, your new incarnation comes to bank and gets the money back so you can start your new life with the advantage of a wad of moolah. I presume you must have to do something like memorize a secret account number before you die, and remember it again once you’re reborn.
Their web page has a link to make deposits, but strangely enough, there isn’t a link to make withdrawals. I have to marvel at the con — only very, very stupid people are going to fall for it.
