fron the Bennington Banner comes this:
Up in Vermont, a bill might be reintroduced in the legislature called The Seed Bill. The bill was designed to protect organic farmers from being sued when patented genetically modified seeds accidentally spread onto their property.
There have been a number of lawsuits in the past few years where corporations have sued farmers for growing patented genetically modified seeds without permission, even if the seeds landed on the farmer's property by an act of nature.
Some also fear that organic farmers, whose crops became tainted by the altered product, would sue the users of genetically modified seeds.

"It made me angry that here's someone preaching about gay marriage and going behind the scenes having gay sex," Jones said.
hear and now question: can't somebody be against gay marriage and have gay sex? or is it the assumption...if your're gay your're automatically for gay marriage. i find it very odd that a hooker/hustler would be a gay marriage advocate. ok, hate me now.

--Most current outrage of the Bush Administration and the Republican Led Congress
Well Folks,
That bastion of morality and civility (yea right) is at it again. Per today's NY Times this administration and it's rubber stamp Republican Senate has decided that the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction will be phased out. Stuart Bowen, apparently has embarrassed government sanctioned thieves one time too many. This reckless action is to take effect 10/01/07. I suggest all citizens call their respective Senators and Representatives to express opposition. We cannot let Halliburton , Kellogg Brown Root and the other Corporations determine how , when and why funds are spent in Iraq. Some Senators (Republicans) are claiming that they did not realize this provision was included in the appropriations bill. Well sorry, Senator if you didn't know you should have known. Try reading the Congressional bills. And by the way, if any staffer is responsible for this I am for hauling them before a committee and leveling the most serious sanctions possible. Good job, Mr Bowen, we hardly knew ye.

Bravo John Kerry!
I am not a huge John Kerry fan. If anyone missed it, he basically advised young people to stay in school so that they do not have to wind up in a place and situation like Iraq. Well that brought out the right wing hitmen, who stated that he was calling the troops dumb and should apologize.
I am digging him today for these reasons:
1. not backing down one iota from that onslaught from cowardly armchair patriots.
2. defending your military service against critics (many of whom have not spent a single day in anybody's military- john mccain, nothwithstanding).
3. Not apologizing for something you are not guilty of. Let's face it, while I admire rank and file soldiers, their ranks are not swelling with rocket scientists.
4. And no, Presidential spokesman/Fox News Hack, Tony Snow, even though these men signed up for military service, they did not sign up for the hellhole that is Iraq today.

The Do Nothing Congress
Has anyone been watching the "Broken Government" series on CNN? A so-called international news network that I am not a big fan of. Well they nailed this one. Seems Senators and Representatives work only three three day workweeks and apparently yelled at the Congressional Leadership to approve this madness. They also have voted themselves seven pay raises in as many years while refusing to raise the minimum wage for poor people. My current mantra is " throw the bums out" Wake up people, we are losing our democracy. Well, I am off to Hunan Palace on Vermont for chinese carryout.

CONGRESSMAN GERRY STUDDS
oh jesus what a pompous ass. another sex addicted bigshot who couldnt keep his hands off of teenager boys. well i just heard he kicked the bucket up in beantown. we use to run into him at the bars in Ptown. he always surrounded by preppy twink mini-fags. i remember the hard time he had with the building inspector when he built that shack on the water across from nickerson street and hans hoffmann's house/painting studio. but we never voted for his opponent. he was elected to congress during the mcgovern landslide of '72. i dont think he did much for people except raise your taxes, raised the retirement age to 67, he favored the marxists in the nicaragua revolution, in favor of the government taking all the land to create the cape cod national seashore and he was terrible to the commercial fishing industry. now every left leaning blogger will memorialize him as the mother theresa of gay liberation.

We will simply ask if it’s right or wrong. And I think we know in this room what the answer to that question is. We will make it the law of the state of New York.”

Two african american males apparently approached the couple from behind. One fired a shot to the front of the man's thigh and the two ran south into the alley. The man was imobilized. The woman said the robber was fairly young and wearing a black and white bandana. Police and EMT were quickly on the scene. The EMT removed the victim's pant leg and carried him into an ambulence.

ANC 2C MEETING CHINATOWN
50 in attendance. 10 of the 50 were lawyers. most citizens were from the Chairman's Single Member District and his supporters. The lawyers did not leave with what they wanted. they were instructed to go back to the community for support instead of expecting the ANC to rubber stamp whatever the lawyers wanted.
the chinese community is not agreeing to the creation of a glass wall cutting off chinatown. the chinese refused the delivery and now the developer is scrambling. the mayor of chinatown dc, dwayne wong is having none of the developers BS. first of all, the developer got an upgrade in a land swap and now he presents an inferior solution to a challenging problem. chinese embellishments should not END at massachusetts avenue northwest.
the yale steam laundry wants to raise the elevation of the penthouse over the existing historic building 15 feet and expected the ANC to just roll. it is important to note here that Chairman thorpe asked the lawyer for yale laundry if he has presented his case to the community and mr utz responded that he'd met with ANC 6C. chairman reminded lawyer that yale steam laundry is in 2C and there were problems with this application in the past. chairman reminded lawyer that 2C has the greatest weight in this case. lawyer agreed and said he'd meet with mount vernon community soon.
the biggest drama of the night came when the ANC voted to approve the UHOP request to purchase a recreational park and turn it into a parking lot and that became a discussion on dog parks. one citizen opposing the UHOP deal was declared out of order and another who favored the idea and name called a commissioner "sitting there looking stupid" wasn't declared out of order. the park isnt surplus property, yet. web cameras and tape recorders were not allowed at this public meeting. gee, i wonder why?

THAT'S A BIG BASKET
while strolling thru the video archives we hit this little jem. filmed in 1942, it's a pure delight.

foley's actions are beginning to make gov mcgreevey look like a class act. mcgreevey was just stupid and foley is a bigger idiot. foley's arrogance is bigger than admitting he has a drinking problem. they always blame it on drinking. we all know what foley's motivation is regarding this rehab announcement. minimize his jail time. i'd like to read some of the messages to see just how freaky this dude is. :) good he's in a hospital too. he doesnt have to have the tv on to hear all about himself.

VICTIM FOLEY
what is with some of these creeps who prey on instant messenger? i was a member of AOL for all of 5 years and got way up to AOL 8.0 w/ IM. man, there are some weirdo's and freaks on AOL and all those chatrooms were a strange form of entertainment. the buddylist is great if you like to stalk people or being stalked. overall it gave me the willys and i dont regret leaving AOL for a second.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuN3TfV2xnk

COLGATE
this week, the weight gainers of Georgetown football are off to somewhere up near Albany. but it's a win for us already because it's on TV:
from hoyasaxa.com comes this news
MASN To Broadcast Colgate Game
9/27/06
The Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, available on regional cable and national satellite, has announced it will broadcast Saturday's Georgetown-Colgate game Saturday.
The game will be broadcast on a tape delay basis at 3:30 pm Saturday, following the Navy-Connecticut game. It is believed to be the first Georgetown football game broadcast on local cable TV. Three previous Patriot league games were broadcast on satellite-accessible cable channels since 2002, but none through local Washington area cable systems.
live the rosary Georgetowners: This will be the fifth meeting between Georgetown and Colgate. The Raiders have won all four meetings between the teams.
UPDATE: Colgate scored two touchdowns in the third quarter and took advantage of five Georgetown turnovers en route to a 31-7

DON'T LOOK
Georgetown(football) enters Saturday's game with Columbia as an underdog--a surprise, perhaps given Columbia's longstanding football reputation(losers). The Columbia Lions' 30 point win over Fordham last week served notice that its football fortunes are beginning to look up. Away game.

CASA PENA BU-BYE
since the 1940's Casa Pena, located at 1634 17th st nw has served the public. they had some of the lowest prices for dried tomatoes around. too bad they couldnt keep their bookkeeping straight because between the feds and dc tax & revenue the business was continually being interrupted. so now they are closed for good. the fixtures have been removed. the building is worth a fortune so whoever owns it will be ok. they could make a killing with more luxury apartments particularly in that very chic homosexual neighborhood. the commercial property taxes in dc are astronomical.

PAINTED LADYS...YOU'RE ON NOTICE
from the current Intowner we read where recently the council of the district of columbia enacted amendments to the historic preservation law designating the Historic Preservation Review Board(HPRB) to author rules and regulations with expanded authority. they will decide what colors property owners may paint their property. some of these "san francisco" style painted houses may be grandfathered so get your designer colors applied because soon some "educated" know-it-all is going to ban purple/lilac/orange/cream/plum and apricot combinations.
i wish the congressional reviewers would strike these amendments because who wants the neighborhoods to lose their vibrant topical displays? or everything will look drab, boring and Restonesque.

BETTY FORD CENTER
althought i've never actually executed another human being it's a little sad to say au revoir to ann richards. she must have been a hoot when drunk but she's even funnier sober. i so much admire her courage and willingness to educate others about addiction and the importance and beauty of sobriety and doing it without a moralistic scold. boy do i resent the moralistic scolds from sinners.
anyway, tonights another crime meeting. this time at the united house of prayer and the subject is the shaw crime task force. 6 pm 601 M street nw.
every monday night at st. david's episcopal church is the weekly betty ford center alumni meeting. we meet at 8 pm the address is 5150 macomb street northwest. in the palisades neighborhood. we meet for dinner at the starland cafe(5125 macarthur blvd) @ 6 30 pm and then head over for a meeting. there's always room. great fellowship, great food at affordable prices.

OH HAPPY DAY!
why patterson lost. vince gray is truly a nice man, i mean how can u not like him? and his opponents meanness finally caught up with her. she makes leona helmsley an angel. i hope vince's victory tells us the trolley to the lily ponds along the anakostia will happen sooner than later. vince adopted the right tone in the palisades land use case and advocated for the neighborhood. he'll be a great council chair. too bad kathy didnt endorse fenty or maybe he didnt want to be associated with the queen of mean.
why the cropp failed. whoever directed her campaign never had the correct focus to begin with. we should have met the students who's lives she influenced while a guidance professional and teacher. then her campaign skipped over the school board years as if they were of no importance. she was setup to run for mayor by the establishment. when the mud started being thrown we'd had enough.
the fenty years will be highlighted with better service management and we need to tax income at it's source or get more from the feds because the older folks cannot take any more increases in local real property taxes.
phil mendelson doesnt cave. well, not too often. his opponent was a reinvented harold brazil sponsored by the local chamber of commerce. i'm happy 'tommy' thomas and tommy wells will be on council. both are compassionate and progressive even though wells favored chucking the MLK to a developer. 'tommy' thomas told me he will NOT be wearing the #5 and he WILL be answering his phone like his father did. atleast everytime i called to bitch about something harry thomas answered the phone :-)
jim graham. the little munchkin was the big winner last night. he endorsed fenty, gray and won renomination with 86% of the vote.
mary cheh. ward 3. we'll see if she's a stooge for GWU real soon. her opponent bill rice will land a spot with the fenty administration early on. i hope he doesnt start taking credit for being a service manager there also. paul strauss' treasurer is a hunk of a bear. too bad we can't vote for him. yet.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/elections/2006/primaries_dc.html
in DC, whoever wins the democrat party primary wins the general election . so the contest is really the primary. i voted at the MLK library at 1 pm. in the two years since we last voted the number of luxury units the have come online is remarkable. it's ALL luxury housing. not one unit of affordable in this neighborhood atleast.
WTWP-FM
i'd like to swing over to http://www.hawkanddoveonline.com/ on capitol hill for kathy patterson's victory party but parking there is a total bitch and i aint taken metrorail home at that hour.
i'm curious to know how all this afforable housing that everybody is talking about is going to be packaged.

the BALDUCCI'S that never was
whoever believed balducci's would ever commit to the penn quarter neighborhood needs a reality check or a little more time living in the eastend of dc. ofcourse they did an extensive market review and consulted they're psychic's. most of the residents either have cars, vespa's or accounts with safeway.com or peapod already. if they want booze, central liquor has been in downtown since the 40's. and there are several newstands, lottery outlets and CVS's existing.

incredible performance
"God the woman was about to be raped, her lover was going to be executed, and she´s in absolute despair and people here complain about a rough singing! in my opinion it would be ridiculous if she sang that part in a relaxed & calm way, or tell me, if you were going through all that, will you sing as if nothing happened?"

jeff corwin ANIMAL PLANET
this is the host the animals at this house adore. jeff is one of the best physical comedic actors on TV. our little henry watches & loves his animal stories.
not steve irwin, the BGH(Bovine Growth Hormone) roided show-off that got himself killed. one look at irwin's physique and you can see he was on BGH and let me tell you there are plenty of veterinary doctors that will juice you up. it takes a lot to threaten a stingray and mr irwin's manager is doing a terrific job at controlling the story. i believe irwin provoked the animal for drama and didn't fully comprehend the nature of the species.

Patterson has horns, Wapost endorses vince gray
BIG LOL
like john wilson, mrs patterson will tell it like it is. she wont hold back and sugar coat reality. she IS like our junkyard dog. and we havent had one of those in awhile. it will be refreshing when she's elected chairman of council. she tells the truth and in this city, that is rare.
the wapost endorsement is more about the good old boy network and giving the chief of police whatever he wants without oversight or questions. thank god after patterson and fenty are elected this chief will GO away. in addition, meeting will be open to reporters. unlike currently,
where it's developers rule behind closed doors.
i like vince gray he should run for mayor someday.

better than georgetown...JUST SAY NO thank you
we have an opportunity to not duplicate the mistakes of georgetown. they dont have metro, we do. they have aggressive parking enforcement, we have NONE. it was kewl of the owner of the property at 5th and O to decide housing would be a better fit for her property than a restaurant. because changing the zoning in that instance would have been the excuse any gin mill could use to invade our the quiet residential community. nobody is more pro-business than me. but having claims of discrimination because of client marketing is an avenue that can make lawyers rich and hurt the serenity of the neighborhoods.
