There are 112.8 million blogs listed at Technorati, so what excuse can a young journalist give for NOT having a professional blog? “I don’t have time for that”? What, you don’t have time to write 100 words or so a few times a week? You don’t have the imagination? You don’t know how to manage your time? Don’t know how to make a link, upload an image, write a headline for SEO? I surely do not want to hire you!

Violent Language, violent mind

Hostile language is dangerous to your health and well-being; it's toxic stuff. People who are frequently exposed to hostile language get sick more often, are injured more often, take longer to recover from illness and injury, and suffer more complications during recovery. As an obvious result, they tend to die sooner than those not so exposed. What's more, hostile language is just as dangerous to the person dishing it out (and to innocent bystanders who can't leave the scene) as it is to the person on the receiving end.

Verbal abuse is a pattern of behavior that can seriously interfere with one’s positive emotional development and over time, can lead to significant detriment to one’s self-esteem, emotional well-being and physical state. It has been further described as an ongoing emotional environment organized by the abuser for the purposes of control.

Whilst oral communication is the most common form of verbal abuse, it includes abusive words in written form.

Carol Dowless, A Daughter's Plea

Once again, the words most spoken in these cases were said...."My Mother would NEVER leave me!" This young girl told us that even in the past when her mother would leave the home, the first thing she ALWAYS did was gather up the children.

So many daughters, and sons, remember the harsh words spoken in the past and wish more than anything that they would have a second chance to take them all back and let their mothers know how much they really love them. They would be willing to live up to every bargain they made with God just to have that second chance.

Dems/Reps Speeches through Wordle

Michelle Obama

It's all over: Years of planning, hours of speech-writing, millions spent on creating the venues to host thousands of Democratic and Republican convention attendees.

What remains are the words that the politicians spoke (or didn't,) and the promises they made.

To re-cap those words, we thought we'd create a Wordle gallery of the most notable candidates', spouses', and supporters' speeches.

Wordle is an online application created by IBM's senior software engineer Jonathan Feinberg. Using text entered by its users, it creates visually alluring "word clouds" that show you the frequency at which words occur within that text. The more often a word occurs, the bigger it appears in the cloud.

Mark Warner

Hillary Clinton

Edward Kennedy

Joe Biden

Barack Obama

John McCain

George W. Bush

Sarah Palin

Joe Lieberman

Cindy McCain

Palin Accuses 'Obama/Biden Democrats' of Attacking Her Family, But Campaign Can't Name One

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin sent out a fundraising solicitation today that charged that "the Obama/Biden Democrats have been vicious in their attacks directed toward me, my family and John McCain."

I asked spokespeople of the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee just which "Obama/Biden Democrats" they're referring to.

The response I got was that Obama spokesman Mark Bubriski erroneously attacked Palin as a supporter of Pat Buchanan.

That's it. That's the evidence.

An attack on Palin herself.

In other words, they can't name one person affiliated with the Obama-Biden campaign who attacked the Palin family.

But she made the charge anyway, to help raise money.

They Words They Used - Convention Language Break-out

clipper's remarks: Highly interesting statistical breakdown of the words used during the convention, and the frequency with which they were used.

Clip Source: www.nytimes.com

The words that speakers used at the two political conventions show the themes that the parties have highlighted. Republican speakers have talked about reform and character far more frequently than the Democrats. And Republicans were more likely to talk about businesses and taxes, while Democrats were more likely to mention jobs or the economy.

Republican Convention Refuses to Mention Afghanistan or Pakistan

As noted by RockRichard yesterday, U.S. forces launched a ground attack inside Pakistan for the "first" time--at least officially. Not surprisingly, the Pakistani government is none too happy about this. But despite the escalation in this increasingly violent theater, no one speaking at the Republican National Convention felt it necessary to even mention Afghanistan or Pakistan last night. The same thing happened on Tuesday night when George W. Bush, Joe Lieberman, and Fred Thompson all failed to utter the words "Afghanistan" or "Pakistan" a single time.

Colonel Joe noticed. I noticed it. And lots of other military types--especially those tasked with fighting in that theater--noticed the obvious (and likely deliberate) oversight.

Maybe if Afghanistan and Pakistan were closer to Alaska--like Russia--it would cause concern for those attending the Republican National Convention.

I am a Hilary supporter. No matter who wins this election I will go into the voting box thinking the best candidate and hope for saving this country has already lost. When Hilary first told America to vote for Barack Obama I was mad. In my heart, I don’t believe she thinks that his lack of inexperience and big words are right for this country either. False hope is the last thing anyone needs right now. However, I see that in her mind, and perhaps my own, any democrat is better than the chance of ending up with any other republican.

Westmoreland calls Obama ‘uppity'

Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland used the racially-tinged term "uppity" to describe Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Thursday.

Westmoreland was discussing vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's speech with reporters outside the House chamber and was asked to compare her with Michelle Obama.

"Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said.

Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,” Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.”

Other Democrats have charged that the Republican campaign to paint the Illinois senator as an “elitist” is racially charged, and accused them of using code words for “uppity” without using the word itself.

In August, Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.) told reporters, “When I hear the word ‘elitist’ linked with Barack Obama, to me, that is a code word for 'uppity.' I find it extremely offensive and John McCain should know better.”

DARPA today has a long-term, $3 billion program to help make such a “Metabolically Dominant Soldier.” In other words, the military is studying how to use technology and biology to meld man and machine and transcend the limits of the human body. Described the project director, “My measure of success is that the International Olympic Committee bans everything we do" The $3 billion program is definitely trying to achieve transhuman performance goals.

The wearable gear would enable running at 100 meter olympic sprinter speed for hours and the 7 foot vertical leap, the wall crawling, personal flight, invisibility, greatly enhanced strength, better body armor and carrying bigger and more powerful weapons.

UPDATE: Advanced gene therapy could provide cheetah or gorilla quality muscles in people for 45 mile per hour speed or five to ten times strength
