I expected more pushback with this. I generally have issues with my feet but this one, I ended up feeling really good about. I found this beautiful bush outside Starbucks this morning.
I also love how my socks are two different colors. Both pastel colors. Both gave up this morning finding the same color socks. ❤️

An Idea Whose Time Has Never Gone:
Seattle Post-Intelligencer Editorial
Published on Sunday, November 25, 2007
RADICAL ETHICS: NO BUCKS FROM WAR
Just less than a year from now, Americans will choose a new president. After years of debilitating public distrust, President Bush could assure a better atmosphere for his successor by adopting a rather singular idea, one that is an odd combination of radical thinking and good old American common sense.
President Bush (and, ideally, Vice President Dick Cheney, given his power) ought to promise not to accept any profit from war. In doing so, they would set a new, higher standard of White House ethics that might foster more rational public discourse on issues of war and peace.
The radical part of this idea is mainly its origin with Michael Masley, a colorful, bitingly humorous anti-war activist (he calls himself the nation's "artist general") who has been trying to get the media, Congress, anybody to ask Bush to promise never to accept any profits flowing from any military action he authorizes. But this left-wing, left-coast idea actually reaches into the heartland and history of the country. Americans have always had a healthy skepticism about unholy influence by money and power on military and foreign policy decisions. Indeed, great presidents have voiced the same concerns when they have warned about foreign entanglements (Washington), war profiteers (FDR) or the sway of the military-industrial complex (Eisenhower).
As much as we opposed the misguided Iraq war, we never much liked the "blood-for-oil" rhetoric. The administration could turn down some of the heat with a lifetime, no-war-profit promise. Bush's most ardent detractors (who actually might think the administration was deluded not just by neocon fantasies about promoting democracy but also by a desire to pump up profits of companies with which they have been connected) might find the chances laughably unrealistic. Perhaps, perhaps not.
Bush is said to believe history will look more kindly than contemporaries on the war, an idea that may not be entirely fanciful. Setting a new ethical course for himself and, by example, his successors might help clear the air for re-evaluation.
But even if this administration and Congress ignore the idea, the topic ought to draw discussion among 2008 presidential candidates, who have a lot of air time to fill in an overly long campaign. Forswearing profits from war is very little to ask of someone who would be president. More important, anything that can ease the painful levels of distrust among people for this or future administrations is worth consideration.

'Seattle P-I': Stop Bush, Cheney From Profiting Off Iraq War
posted: 11/26/2007
by: E&P Staff:
President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney should pledge not to accept any profits from the war in Iraq when they leave office, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer said in an editorial Sunday.
"In doing so, they would set a new, higher standard of White House ethics that might foster more rational public discourse on issues of war and peace," the editorial said.
The P-I piece took its inspiration from Michael Masley, the perpetually e-mailing anti-war activist who calls himself the "U.S. Artist General." Masley has campaigned to force Bush to promise not to profit from military actions he authorized.
"But this left-wing, left-coast idea actually reaches into the heartland and history of the country," the P-I wrote. "Americans have always had a healthy skepticism about unholy influence by money and power on military and foreign policy decisions. Indeed, great presidents have voiced the same concerns when they have warned about foreign entanglements (Washington), war profiteers (FDR) or the sway of the military-industrial complex (Eisenhower)."
From the start, the P-I opposed what it called "the misguided Iraq war," but at the same time it said "we never much liked the 'blood-for-oil' rhetoric" of many of the war's critics.
"The administration could turn down some of the heat with a lifetime, no-war-profit promise," the newspaper said. "Bush's most ardent detractors (who actually might think the administration was deluded not just by neocon fantasies about promoting democracy but also by a desire to pump up profits of companies with which they have been connected) might find the chances laughably unrealistic. Perhaps, perhaps not."
Presidential candidates, too, should take the pledge, the paper said.
"Forswearing profits from war is very little to ask of someone who would be president," it wrote. "More important, anything that can ease the painful levels of distrust among people for this or future administrations is worth consideration."

SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN --Trail Mix
--Steven T. Jones
Artist General's Warning: Recu$al question could be bad for Bush's political health Michael Masley has a question. It's a question he's been trying to get someone to ask for two years, and time is now running short to ask it. It's a good question, and if there were any justice in the world or democracy left in this orange-alerted country of ours, then Jim Lehrer would ask George W. Bush the question during the presidential debate Sept. 30.
The question is this: Will you agree never to accept any personal profits flowing from any military action you authorize or promote? Masley has been harassing journalists all over the country, trying to get them to ask it of Bush and the rest of his war cabinet, as well as John Kerry and anyone else running for an office that lets him or her participate in decisions likely to put foreigners on the receiving end of an American bullet or bomb.
For a Berkeley resident who makes his living as a street musician, Masley has a surprisingly long reach, spending up to 40 hours a week online, mining sources of information, and sending out entertaining and incisive e-missives under his "Artist General" nom de plume. The guy turns phrases in ways that cut to the heart of important issues, just as his question does.
If the question does get asked, Masley thinks Bush might do his deer-in-headlights impression, or that he'd dodge it or lie in a way that might touch off more media interest in the issue. After all, Vice President Dick Cheney has profited handsomely from actions he took as Poppy Bush's secretary of defense, most notably deciding to outsource many military functions and then becoming CEO of Halliburton, which then got the no-bid contracts to do that work.
Who knows, maybe mainstream journalists might even begin questioning why a war cabinet of Texas oilmen lied their way into occupying some of the most oil-rich regions of the world. Or maybe that's asking too much. (Steven T. Jones)

THE SECOND SUCCUMBING
(Apologies to W.B. Yeats / The Second Coming}
Turning and Spinning in the Widening Mire
The Congress cannot hear the Precedent;
Things fall apart; the Party cannot hold;
Sheer Conarchy is loosed upon Democracy,
The freedom-gouging tide is loosed, and everywhere
The Standing of America is downed;
The best convictions are too polite, while the worst
Are full of obtuse intensity;
Surely some Reason is at hand.
Yet there instead, the Patriot “Act”!
The “Patriot” Act!
Hardly are those words out
When an Orwelled image out of Posse Comitatus
Troubles my sight:
Somewhere in the martial curfews of this seminal Treachery
A shape with Oz-lion body and the head of a borne-again fool:
An ‘Aye’ blank and clueless as the GOP itself
Is moving its leaky Trojan Agenda, but who knew?
While overhearing guffaws & careless cheering
from the belly of the beast, that all about it now should
gather threats of patriotic fillibuster, lighting & passing torchfire.
…Wounded cowardice drops again; but indignant courage
finds unexpected stride, in the edifying irony
that a Sitting President was on his Game after all,
as if afloat, fishing! entirely untorn,
glued from National Nightmare to “My Pet Goat.”
And what Hellbent Vision Thing,
its Truthless Power come round at last,
$louches towards Liberty to be Borne?

With nearly 2100 Nm of torque available, the SP-300 can move aircraft of up to 450 tons (including the A380) - so it could have likely pushed us on its starter motor alone...
Lufthansa Airbus A340-313E D-AIFA Dorsten is towed towards the parking area in Frankfurt by a Goldhofer AST-2 towbarless aircraft tractor. It has arrived earlier today as flight LH483 from Tampa (TPA).
MSN 352 has had its first flight on 20.06.00 with the test registration F-WWJU and was delivered to LH on 25.08.00.

Pictured after push back from its stand, is this Singapore Boeing 777-300ER.
Making its way to Singapore via Munich, takes 13.5 hours, longest flight from Manchester?
