HELENA, Mont. - If a record-breaking heat wave doesn't lift soon, cattle rancher Sharon McDonald may see her hay crop turn to dust. Oppressive temperatures eased a bit Friday in some parts of the West, but McDonald's central Montana ranch baked under triple-digit heat. Forecasters reported little relief in the days ahead, saying the weather system that brought the high temperatures could last well into next week.


In Montana, where cattle outnumber residents by more than 2 to 1, livestock and people sought shade and drought-weary farmers watched for damage to grain.

"We are trying to get our hay up before it disintegrates," said McDonald, a rancher near Melville. "It just gets crispy and just falls apart."

Extreme heat plagued much of Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Oregon and Washington state.

I work in a grocery store and I've had a customer ask me if the marks on a bill from a counterfeit pen ever fade. I honestly never thought about this and I'm curious. Any takers?

Anybody know the answer to this?

Seems to me that what Bush Senior feared was that during the trial of Weinberger his own and Reagan's involvment and knowledge of the Weapons for Iran Jihad-drugs-money-Contras would be exposed in under-oath testimony.

Iran-Contra Special Prosecutor Walsh about Bush Sr pardoning 4 convicted Iran-Contra felony criminals and Defense Secretary Weinberger, who never even went to trial.:

"It's hard to see how pardoning your former enemy justifies pardoning your former colleagues -- and possible co-conspirators... Not only did he [Bush] pardon his political allies, he pardoned them for illegal activities in which he himself may have been implicated."

Isn't that what Bush's pardon of Libby is about?

The Original American Foreign Policy
By Ron Paul
"It is our true policy to steer clear of entangling alliances with any portion of the foreign world." – George Washington
I have written before about the critical need for Congress to reassert its authority over foreign policy, and for the American people to recognize that the Constitution makes no distinction between domestic and foreign matters. Policy is policy, and it must be made by the legislature and not the executive.
But what policy is best? How should we deal with the rest of the world in a way that best advances proper national interests, while not threatening our freedoms at home?
I believe our founding fathers had it right when they argued for peace and commerce between nations, and against entangling political and military alliances. In other words, noninterventionism.
Noninterventionism is not isolationism. Nonintervention simply means America does not interfere militarily, financially, or covertly in the internal affairs of other nations. It does not mean that we isolate ourselves; on the contrary, our founders advocated open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.
Thomas Jefferson summed up the noninterventionist foreign policy position perfectly in his 1801 inaugural address: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations — entangling alliances with none." Washington similarly urged that we must, "Act for ourselves and not for others," by forming an "American character wholly free of foreign attachments."
Yet how many times have we all heard these wise words without taking them to heart? How many claim to admire Jefferson and Washington, but conveniently ignore both when it comes to American foreign policy? Since so many apparently now believe Washington and Jefferson were wrong on the critical matter of foreign policy, they should at least have the intellectual honesty to admit it.
Of course we frequently hear the offensive cliché that, "times have changed," and thus we cannot follow quaint admonitions from the 1700s. The obvious question, then, is what other principles from our founding era should we discard for convenience? Should we give up the First amendment because times have changed and free speech causes too much offense in our modern society? Should we give up the Second amendment, and trust that today's government is benign and not to be feared by its citizens? How about the rest of the Bill of Rights?
It's hypocritical and childish to dismiss certain founding principles simply because a convenient rationale is needed to justify interventionist policies today. The principles enshrined in the Constitution do not change. If anything, today's more complex world cries out for the moral clarity provided by a noninterventionist foreign policy.
It is time for Americans to rethink the interventionist foreign policy that is accepted without question in Washington. It is time to understand the obvious harm that results from our being dragged time and time again into intractable and endless Middle East conflicts, whether in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, or Palestine. It is definitely time to ask ourselves whether further American lives and tax dollars should be lost trying to remake the Middle East in our image.

I'm 25 years old. I can run about a block, then I vomit all over the pavement. I swim via rapid motions of my hand in front of my chest whilst kicking uncontrollably. I fall on my nose once I pass about 5 pushups. My eyes get watery with tears when I am ordered or reprimanded. What can I do to accomplish this goal?

I've been through all the information that I can find and I've yet to find anything illegal that Scooter Libby had done. It's not that i'm a democrat or republican, I really can't figure out what Scooter did to deserve an indictment, muchless a conviction. Even most liberals that I know have said Scooter Libby is nothing but a scape-goat for the Bush administration. If he actually commited a crime, I would say "throw the book at him!" However, his biggest crime was working for someone as shady as Dick Cheney. It's amazing to see how our media runs this nation and we take it all in without question.
