White House, Congress push for bailout deal - Yahoo! News: "700 billion buying up devalued mortgage-backed securities and other toxic debt from banks and investors.
'We're making a lot of headway; I think it's possible to get this thing done tonight,' said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont. 'I can't guarantee it,' Baucus quickly added.
The House was scheduled to convene at 1 p.m. EDT Sunday and members there were hoping they could vote on a bill by that evening and go home to campaign for re-election. The Senate isn't scheduled to go back into session until Monday.
Presidential politics again played a role in the bargaining. Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama called key negotiators and portrayed themselves as helping without getting directly involved in the talks.
Bush expressed confidence earlier Saturday that lawmakers soon would approve a rescue plan while acknowledging that many Americans are frustrated and angry at the amount of money taxpayers are being asked to put up for covering Wall Street firms' mistakes."

Why So Many Diets Do Not Work. | The Writers' Cafe
Why So Many Diets Do Not Work. The Writers' Cafe: "to do some research on the entire topic of what is commonly known as the high protein diet. I suppose now might be a geat time to state that I am not an MD, and am not making any official dietary reccomendations here. My hope is simply to educate the reader using relatively easy (non-technical) terminology.
Llow-carb diets are dietary programs that restrict carbohydrate consumption usually for weight control. Foods high in digestible carbohydrates (e.g. breads, pasta) are limited or replaced with foods containing a higher percentage of proteins and fats (e.g. meats, soy products) and often other foods low in carbohydrates (e.g. green leafy vegetables).
From wikipedia (link below)
Low-carbohydrate diets
The precise definition of low-carbohydrate diets varies greatly. The term is most commonly used to refer to ketogenic diets, i.e. diets that restrict carbohydrate intake sufficiently to cause ketosis like the Atkins diet,[1][2][3] but some sources consider less restrictive variants to be low-carbohydrate as well…"

Why So Many Diets Do Not Work. The Writers' Cafe: "throwing the entire human body into a metabolic pathway which is known as ketosis. This potentially dangerous metabolic pathway kicks in because of an extreme lack of carbohydates.
The body can no longer utilize its normal fuel source and now must turn to either breaking down stored fat (this is what we are hoping for and why we diet) or begin to break down either ingested protein, or alternatively break down protein which makes up the body, perhaps even breaking down muscle through cataboloic pathways (this is usually a bad thing)
Protein is made of amino acids, amino acids contain nitrogen. Excess nitrogen in the body is actually very harmfull. The excess nitrogen (nitrogenous wastes) get removed by the body via the kidenys."

Major Conflict
Major Conflict: "having a hard time understanding how Americans think anymore.
Not all Americans, of course. I can relate to my fellow Democrats
and I understand hardcore Republicans who will always support
whatever candidate is most likely to promote the needs of the
military-industrial complex.
But the swing voters and perpetually undecideds and independents
are a real puzzle. They seem to be totally disconnected from
our nation's recent history and who was responsible for the
good times and who was responsible for the bad times.
The last seven and a half years have been a real mess and we've had a Republican president. No matter how many times John McCain uses the word 'maverick' per hour, doesn't it
seem only fair he (being the GOP nominee) should have to shoulder some of the blame for the problems his party has caused?
And on the flip side, shouldn't the Democrats (especially Obama)
get some credit for belonging to the party of Bill Clinton...
a leader who presided over our last era of peace and prosperity?

Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler » September 11, Not In Memoriam But In Resolve
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler » September 11, Not In Memoriam But In Resolve: "I remember that day in 2001, like it was yesterday and I think I can safely speak for others as well as myself, that the resolve to bring justice to those that perpetrated that crime and their brothers, brutally and with an ultimate finality has not diminished one iota.
See what you out there on the left will NEVER understand about us on this side of the aisle is that we are capable of prioritizing the critical, important, and “nice to have” from the single issue that you so love to use in your 2 page playbook of ideology. We have minds that can rationalize an immediate threat from a mild nuisance.
So today we’ll remember that terrible day, perhaps shed a tear and once again resolve and swear before Almighty G-d that America will always stand for justice in a dangerous world.
We true Americans will always know the direction peril lies in and will not be distracted by the politics of victimhood, class-warfare and socialist ideology that places true patriotism in a trash bin."
Calm thinking, clever writing and clear response to another ultra-right blog.

The Writers' Cafe: "There is no sharing in the flock, and constant pushing and shoving. From the little research I have already done on Chekhov, he was greatly concerned about the rights of man, as mentioned in The Seagull.
My personal belief is that there is no shortage of wealth in this nation, as well as in the world. Political theorists would have us believe that the economy of our country has taken a major downturn simply because perhaps a handful of the wealthiest have lost a few poorly placed bets"

9/11/2001- The Writers' Cafe: "personal belief is that there is no shortage of wealth in this nation, as well as in the world. Political theorists would have us believe that the economy of our country has taken a major downturn simply because perhaps a handful of the wealthiest have lost a few poorly placed bets on the great economic roulette wheel of “high tech stocks”. Our nation’s leader would now have you believe the same “voodoo economy” nonsense that his party predecessors have promoted. Many armchair critics have already sited the president’s agenda as nothing short of class war. I suppose I could go on with this thread but do not want alienate too many of my potential readers."
