WASHINGTON -- The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is unable to find or account for tens of thousands of valuable mementos of Reagan's White House years because a "near universal" security breakdown left the artifacts vulnerable to pilfering by insiders, an audit by the National Archives inspector general has concluded.
Inspector General Paul Brachfeld said that his office was investigating allegations that a former employee stole Reagan memorabilia but that the probe had been hampered by the facility's sloppy record-keeping.

Morning, comrades!
Hell, we keep better track of things in the Scout Room...I know where every pot, pan, and utensil is supposed to be.
Anyway...
Got a question for the assorted blogosphere. My team needs a 'morning saying'. We have a daily overview of what's happening and what needs to get done every day. Lately, I've been ending the week with the old Morning Sedition "Let's land this thing, Riley".
Folks want the "let's be careful out there" mantra, but I think that's overkill for the office. I, of course, have suggested "Vigilance!", but that's gone over like a Lead Zeppelin...
We're heading towards "Sacagawea!" at this rate.

Quote by starling310:
Huh! What? Oh! Morning.
![]()
My drive to work this morning was a wonderful opportunity to catch up on 2 things; crying and yelling. Every report broadcast regarding Pakistan, and more to the point Benizar Bhutto, had my eyes welling up in awe of the bravery of 1 women and those who look to her to lead them. She had the courage to speak in the face of police barricades and their riot gear, surrounding her home. Amazing.
The yelling was a reaction to the story that Angela Merkel will be at "the ranch" today and the topic of conversation will be Tehran. This led me to, by myself in the privacy of my car, scream my frustration. "Why is Iran all of a sudden the number 1 problem??? Maybe the number 1 problem is YOU [George Bush]."
All in all it was a cathartic commute.

Quote by BobR:
On the way into work this morning, I had to slow down because of an accident off the side of the road (rubberneckers). The cop car was from a heavily asian part of Atlanta, and on the back bumper was a series of Kanji characters. "Doraville Police" in Korean?
What would Lou Dobbs say???![]()
REPORTER: Mr. President, you came down so hard on Burma and other nations for their crackdowns on pro-democracy demonstrators, yet you seem to be giving Musharraf a pass. So, the question is: Why are you going so soft on Musharraf? Is there a double-standard?
BUSH: I spoke to President Musharraf right before I came over here to visit President Sarkozy, and, uh, my message was that we believe strongly--in elections, and you ought to have elections soon. And you need to take off your uniform.
You can't be the president and the head of the military at the same time.
So I had a very frank discussion with him. Look: Our objective is the same in Burma as it is in Pakistan, and that is to promote democracy. There is a difference, however: Pakistan has been on the path to democracy. Burma hadn't been on the path to democracy, and it requires different tactics to achieve the common objective. And, uh, as I told you, I just spoke to President Musharraf before I came here and my message was very plain, very easy to understand, and that is: "The United States wants you to have the elections as scheduled, and take your uniform off."

Yes, I know that Kanji is Chinese, that the Japanese borrowed the written Kanji from the Chinese, then added 1 additional alphabet for Japanese phonetics not covered by the Chinese Kanji, then added another alphabet for non-Japanese phonetics... I also know that Korean uses a simpler pictogram alphabet that is more akin to regular letters, and that VietNam didn't have a written language until French colonization, which is why it looks like French....

Thanks for playing there, Bobber. There is no such thing as Chinese Kanji. Kanji is one form of creating sylabic charaters for Japanese. Korean, written Korean uses a system called Kangul if I remember correctly. as for the Vietmanese, they used to use the Chinese ideograms before the French showed up. See cause Vietnam was under Chinese rule for a while there.

detail, details... Whether it's the Japanese term or not (the Chinese name is Hanzi), Kanji is still the name for the characters themselves. :self-righteous smugness:

We do have a tax on wealthy estates. In fact, only one-half of one percent of estates payanything in America. That is the truth. It’s not a death tax. There is a tax on wealthy estates. In fact, under current law a couple can shield $4 million before paying any estate tax. Undercurrent law, that will increase to $7 million in 2009.
And now a handful of very wealthy families have spent $200 million over the last severalyears trying to convince the American people there is a death tax. One of my colleagues just had a baggage handler at an airport stop him and tell him, please repeal that death tax. Well, that gentleman, unless he’s won the lottery, need not fear the estate tax because it doesn’t apply to virtually anyone. Only one-half of one percent of estates pay it.

Quote by TriSec:
Late to the party again.
Heard on TRMS:
Pakistan has material for approximately 60 nuclear weapons.
This is highly-enriched uranium an the "gun assembly" to create a critical mass just like the Little Boy, circa 1945.
Of course, Pakistan has gone nuts.
Al-Qaeda, and Osama bin Laden, are based in Pakistan. No word on where the nukes are stored, but it would be remarkably easy for a bomb to "change hands" in the chaos right now.
Holy Shit, Batman!
See, I knew all these things, I just needed Rachel to draw me a picture.

And once again the family TriSec is facing that great take-out dining dilemma that I think there is a need to fulfill....
Chinese take-out pizza!
"Yes, I'd like two pizzas, one cheese, and one combo, half pepperoni and half Moo Goo Gai Pan"

RNN just did a story about homeless vets in the Hudson Valley.
On yet another front, a published report today said that homelessness is virtually over. People may have crushing mortgages, but they have homes.
So all in all, the war is going in our favor. Proof of that is that Democrats have shut up about it. Bush has made sure you have a job, and this economy has insured you have a home.
Quote by Raine:
Sorry biys... no boobies... you have to buy Hustler for that.
A former New Orleans prostitute who will be featured in Larry Flynt's Hustler magazine appeared at his office Tuesday to accuse Sen. David Vitter of having a sexual relationship with her in 1999. Wendy Ellis told reporters that Vitter visited her two to three times a week for sexual relations between July and November 1999.
Quote by Raine:
And just to be fair...
This is Vitter's original press conference...
Well, I am glad thta he got the water resources bill thru!
