Have you reckoned a thousand acres much?
Have you reckoned the earth much?
Have you practiced so long to learn to read?
Have you felt so proud
to get at the meaning of poems?
Stop this day and night with me
and you shall possess the origin of all poems,
You shall possess the good of the earth and sun....
there are millions of suns left,
You shall no longer take things at second or third hand....
nor look through the eyes of the dead
nor feed on the spectres in books.
You shall not look through my eyes either,
nor take things from me,
You shall listen to all sides
and filter them from yourself.
~ Walt Whitman

Baruch Dayan HaEmes (Blessed is GOD, the true judge).

The development of a drug that has revolutionized the treatment of many types of cancer has earned its inventor, Ronald Levy, MD, the 2009 King Faisal International Prize in Medicine.

More than 30 years ago, Levy, now chief of the oncology division at the Stanford University School of Medicine, embarked on a research agenda that harnessed the power of the body`s own immune system to fight cancer. Levy developed the concept that a drug made from a naturally produced blood protein called an antibody could be a cancer-fighting machine.

SNIP

Levy told Haaretz he was certain his wife and daughters would not be able to attend the ceremony, as their passports are full of visas from Israel and his wife and one of his daughters were born in Israel. To his surprise, when he went to the Saudi consulate in Los Angeles, the attendants stamped their passports, and no one asked any questions.

In spite of their fears before the trip, Levy said his family was treated to royal hospitality during their entire stay in Saudi Arabia . He said that even when people were aware of his religion and his family's background, he was treated no different than anyone else. Also, Levy said Saudis were fascinated with hearing what he and other visitors think of their country, and if their expectations were proved wrong or not. Levy's victory is the first time in the award's 30 years that a Jew has won, which Levy says he took as a sign that Saudi Arabia is becoming more open.

Iran: Free Potatoes Inflamed Electoral Fever
NO POTATOES FOR YOU, INFIDEL!

The Iranian authorities have distributed free potatoes in recent weeks in different cities. Several Iranian politicians have criticized the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government free potato distribution as an act of the presidential electoral campaign and call it a waste of public money. Iranian officials say that there was an excess of potatoes supply in Iran and the government has only bought and distributed them. The Iranian Tabnak site has published several photos of these potatoes distribution in a university in Isfahan. Several bloggers have offered their opinions on this ‘Potato Gate'.

Putin to boycott summit over Nabucco
NABUCCO is like the emperor's new clothes, it's an imaginary hooplewidget, a propaganda tool, it does not exist and it never will. Also Putin knows this but he is an excellent performance artist and greatly enjoys his work.

NABUCCO also happens to be the name of an Opera By Verdi.
NABUCCO is Nebuchadnezzar:

Basic Plot Summary of Verdi’s opera Nabucco

Part I: JERUSALEM Nabucco, King of Babylon, advances on Jerusalem. The Jews are forced to hide in the temple. Nabucco’s daughter, Fenena, is being held prisoner there, having been kidnapped by Zaccaria. The High Priest of Jerusalem, Zaccaria, leaves Fenena with Ismaele. Ismaele and Fenena are secretly lovers. Nabucco’s other daughter, Abigaille, offers to spare the Jews and Jerusalem if Ismaele will love her (as she is also in love with Ismaele). Ismaele rejects Abigaille. Nabucco arrives at the temple. Zaccaria attempts to kill Fenena, but Ismaele rescues her. The temple in Jerusalem is destroyed. The Jews condemn Ismaele.

Part II: THE UNBELIEVER The Jews have been taken captive and are in Babylon. Abigaille, now back in Babylon, finds out that she was born a slave and is not royalty. The Babylonians believe that Nabucco is dead based on a rumor started by the High Priest of Babylon, so they call Abigaille to take the throne. Zaccaria announces Fenena’s conversion to Judaism. Nabucco returns. He proclaims that he is God. Nabucco is struck by lightening and goes mad. Abigaille takes the crown.

Part III: THE PROPHECY Babylon salutes Abigaille as their ruler, but the High Priest calls for the execution of all Jews (starting with Nubucco’s daughter Fenena). Abigaille tricks the still mad Nabucco into signing Fenena’s death warrant. Nabucco denounces Abigaille as a slave. She rips up the document stating the fact that she is a slave. Hebrew captives, on the banks of the Euphrates, sing a song, yearning for their homeland. (Va, pensiero) Zaccaria prophesies that Babylon will fall.

Part IV: THE BROKEN IDOL Fenena prepares to die. Nabucco, recovered from his madness, asks the God of the Hebrews for forgiveness. Fenena, along with other Hebrews, is standing in front of the altar when shouts of “Viva Nabucco” are heard. Nabucco destroys the false idol, a statue of Baal. Nabucco frees the Hebrews. Abigaille poisons herself, begging Fenena for forgiveness, she dies. Nabucco is proclaimed King of Kings.

Russia gives cautious response to Obama nuclear plan

Russia responded cautiously on Monday to U.S. President Barack Obama's plans for a nuclear-free world, saying a number of conditions would need to be met for the vision to become reality.
Obama pledged earlier this month in the Czech Republic to cut the U.S. nuclear arsenal, bring the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty into force and seek tough penalties for those that broke rules on non-proliferation.

On the first day of a two-day official visit to Finland, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said in a speech at Helsinki University that the topic of nuclear disarmament had become one of "high hopes."

AUGUST, 2007: China and Russia Begin Teasing Washington

Moscow and Beijing have teamed up and appear determined to send a message to the White House, singly and together, which translated could mean, “Don’t mess with us” and “Stay clear of our allies.”
The two countries are currently playing war games together with Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, all members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), considered a buffer to US oil and gas ambitions in the Caspian.

Nonprofit Groups to Push for Exceptions to Lobby Rule

The White House has granted three waivers, the first to William J. Lynn, a Raytheon lobbyist who became deputy defense secretary. The other two went to Cecilia Muñoz of the National Council of La Raza, who is now White House director of intergovernmental affairs, and Jocelyn Frye of the National Partnership for Women and Families, who is now Michelle Obama’s policy director.

Cecilia Muñoz .... of the National Council of FUCKING La Raza. LA RAZA!
Attention all ye plebian gringos, pathetic gwylo, back stabbin' wasichu, moronic honkies, donkeys and assorted whipper snappin' cracker jacks:
LA RAZA means "The Race".
Also La Raza is McCain's favorite communist front immigration group.
And you people think you have two parties?
Ha Ha Ha!
Welcome to Post America! Enjoy your flight.

Who is White House director of intergovernmental affairs since 11/26/08, and with ZERO MSM attention. Google it, you'll see.

Munoz, meanwhile, will oversee the White House office responsible for relations between the administration and state and local governments. The 2000 MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" winner is a senior vice president at the National Council of La Raza, a leading Hispanic civil rights group. There, she has spearheaded many of the organization's immigration initiatives. Currently, she is in charge of the group's entire advocacy and legislative agenda.

"We're continuing to build a White House team that can rise to the challenges facing this country -- and I couldn't be more excited to announce Jon and Cecilia," Obama said. "I'm confident that at a critical time in our history, this White House will restore openness and accountability to our executive branch and help to put government back in the hands of the people it serves."

The Good Lobbyist

New York Times - The president issued one for William Lynn, a lobbyist for the powerful defense contractor Raytheon who was his indispensable choice to be deputy secretary ..

One what? One waiver that cites UNUSUAL & EXIGENT Circumstances. Indispensible!

Wearing the Gubbmint Wire:

U.S. Army leaders are asking three U.S. prime defense contractors to develop wearable Army communications prototype systems that integrate radios, batteries, software, body armor, and combat helmet

[snip]

The Army is asking the Raytheon Co. Network Centric Systems segment in McKinney, Texas; General Dynamics C4 Systems in Scottsdale, Ariz.; and Rockwell Collins in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to develop prototype wearable network centric warfare systems as part of the Ground Soldier Ensemble (GSE) program.

Ground Soldier Ensemble? Sounds like a gay Nazi dance troupe. WTF is it?

The Ground Soldier Ensemble (GSE) is a system-of-systems that provides dismounted soldiers increased situational awareness, decreased reaction times, and reduces the risk of fratricide. GSE focuses on providing mature technologies, that when integrated together on the Soldier, minimize the size, weight and power impacts to the Soldier while providing improved situational awareness and network connectivity capabilities at various echelon levels within a brigade combat team.

TACOM Contracting Center has established a Major System Website for Ground Soldier Ensemble (GSE), with an Executive Summary currently posted and available for review

That Executive Summary link, BTW, is dead now. And from reading that hooplebabble I still wouldn't really know WTF it is. Other than it "prevents fratricide". Ohhkay.

Bank Nationalization Is On Its Way

An MSNBC/New York Times report indicates that the Obama Administration will go forth with bank nationalization by converting TARP aid into common stock shares in banks. The beauty of this approach, from the standpoint of the Administration, is that it avoids a showdown with Congress over bank nationalization by allowing nationalization to take place without any further Congressional authorization.
