My self-imposed 24 hour grace period, which the left would never give to George W. Bush or any other conservative, has ended.
I was willing to leave Ted Kennedy be and let his family mourn on the day of his death.
I will not sit back and let the media lionize his life.
It is time to take the Ted to the (wood) shed.
Not only was he a bad person, but he managed to make everybody around him worse.
I will not let Chappaquiddick go. Liberals who chant that "Bush lied, people died," apparently do not care that Ted Kennedy left a woman to die, and then lied about it. Simply put, he put his political career over the life of a human being.
If members of the Klan build roads, that does not erase that they are members of the Klan. Hamas builds schools, but they are still terrorists who blow people up. A murderer who goes to prison and donates a kidney is as life neutral as the phonies who believe in carbon offsets.
Ted Kennedy did positive things, and I am sure if I picked up an industrial strength magnifying glass, I might find something. That does not invalidate the fact that he got drunk, drove a car off of a bridge, and left a woman to die, all the while using his money and power to cover up the truth.
Long before he took a human life, he cheated at Harvard. His family used their money and power to reduce an automatic expulsion and lifetime ban to a one year suspension. This not only was a disgrace for Ted Kennedy, but was one occurrence in a series of events that has led Harvard over the past 40 years to decline from a first rate institution to the Poison Ivy League joke it is today. Also, university slots are finite. Bringing Ted back came at the expense of some random "little person" that he never bothered to think about.
Supporters of Ted Kennedy have sunk to his level of worthlessness. The National Organization for Women remains a collection of hags and harpies that have zero interest in women's rights. Any organization that finds Ted Kennedy better for feminism than Sarah Palin is phony. Sarah Palin did not kill a woman. Sarah Palin is faithful to her spouse. Sarah Palin is cursed because she did not drive her daughter Bristol over a bridge to prevent a child from being born. Perhaps if Senator Kennedy had let his lover and child survive, he would be pilloried today.
George W. Bush used to drink. Unlike Ted Kennedy and Christopher Dodd, President Bush did not sexually assault his serving waitress. Also, those that criticize George W. Bush as having succeeded due to his family name should look at Ted Kennedy with an honest lens. At least George W. Bush attempted real jobs in the private sector, and returned to the private sector. Ted Kennedy claimed to care about the working man, even though he never was one. Being a "hardworking Senator" is not lifting a lunch pail and putting on a hard hat.
Ted Kennedy claimed to care about people, but he as was phony on other policies as he was about women's issues. He claimed to be for renewable energy sources, but blocked a wind farm that obscured his pristine view from his Massachusetts home.
He raised taxes for middle Americans who could not afford the expensive tax attorneys and tax shelters that he utilized to evade the very laws he had enacted.
He was phony to the end. In 2004, he was concerned that if John Kerry was elected President (shudder), Republican Governor Mitt Romney would appoint a Republican to the seat. He had the law changed to call for a special election in that scenario, removing the governor's power.
This in itself was not bad, even if the motives were impure. However, in 2009, he tried to change the law back because he wanted Deval Patrick, the very liberal governor of Massachusetts, to appoint another liberal rather than risk a special election.
Personality wise, Ted Kennedy was a bully. His treatment of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas was abusive. In an office setting, his behavior could have even been actionable. He took decent men and libeled them.
Worst of all, Ted Kennedy abused people who tried to reach across the aisle to him.
John McCain made the mistake of calling Ted Kennedy his friend. Ted Kennedy responded by lambasting him far beyond traditional politics during the 2008 election.
He worked with President George W. Bush on an education bill. He then turned around and called President Bush a liar, which is like the pot calling the kettle African-American.
Ted Kennedy personified the politics of personal destruction.
His passing will hopefully lead to a more civil discourse in society. At the very least, the Senate just became nicer by percentage.
My prediction is that the leftist bullies will try and get a terrible health care bill passed in his honor. "Win one for Teddy" will be used to try and paint everybody against a bad bill as trying to defile the memory of a man who died of brain cancer. This fits in with the left's refusal to acknowledge that reasonable people can have principled disagreements.
Ted Kennedy did not just die of cancer, which I wish on nobody.
He was a cancer. He was pure poison. He destroyed innocent lives while holding himself up as a paragon of virtue. He wrecked reputations, for no other reason than pure power.
I wish no pain on his family, but I will not shed a single crocodile tear on his passing.
I cannot think of a better way to honor this nation than to defeat the terrible bill that was his awful life's work.

Thats everything I wanted to say yesterday ( you said it much better) but I decided to keep whithin in the theme of the 24 hour grace.
Lets just do this because it was Teds life long aspiration and never mind everything it will destroy much like the things you mentioned he did during his life.
Since it looks like launching an investigation as a distraction didnt work too well lets find some tool that can yank at our heartstrings so we'll be blinded to the fallout such an entitlement would cause.
Regardless of the cost to our kids, regardless of the many liberties it will cost us, regardless of the lives it will actually NOT SAVE we should do it for Teddy because he would of wanted us to.
I wonder if the hurst is going to steer clear of any bridges ?
That was the most mean-spirited and disappointing post I've ever read here. I had always admired the tenor of this blog, but today's post was just plain nasty.
Look, Ted Kennedy, love him, hate him, whatever, was a human being. No human being is perfect. He came from a very powerful family and, as is often the case, he sometimes abused that power. We all know that. GW Bush and his brother Neil also came from a powerful family and both abused that power at times, especially when they were young. Power does corrupt. We all know that too.
Now, I'm one of those people who does not care for lionizing and hero worship. I don't fall for mythology – any mythology. I find it stupid and counterproductive. The Kennedys are among the most mythologized families is US history. JFK was no great liberal savior. Bobby was not some great hero of the poor and disenfranchized. Teddy was not the greatest senator of the modern era, by a long ways. I found his support for NCLB, for example, to be sleazy pandering of the lowest order. On the other hand, Ted had a long senate career, was very influential, and did a lot of good things.
Our good host, for some strange reason, neglects to mention Ted's unflappable support of Israel. Too unflappable, if you ask me. Even Netanyahu was a big fan of his. You don't get any more Zionist than Bibi! This blog is known for its support of Israel with rarely a week going by without some mention of Jewish identity politics, and yet somehow Kennedy's stalwart support of Israel went unmentioned in this post. Strange.
Man 'o man, that's nasty.
One thing I will always admire Kennedy for was his stand against the unnecessary war in Iraq. He was one of 23 senators who bravely voted against that awful, illegal, unconstitutional, evil, bloody, expensive, colonial oil war. Kennedy may have killed a woman in a drunk driving accident when he was a kid (funny, I never heard you mention anything about a similar thing Laura Bush did when she was young…), but at least he didn't murder thousands of people in an unnecessary war!
You guys have strange values.
Getting tired of hearing the war used as a talking point against just about anything conservative.
Would you care to compare the amount of children Saddam killed with their mothers still holding them, dead in the street ? Or all the people he killed period over his whole life ?
How bout Ted Kenedy ?
You liberals cant go on ranting about how Ted was a champion for womens rights and abortion and then decide what kind of limit youd like to put on how many abortions hes responsible for. But, I'm in a gracious mood so lets low ball the whole thing, shall we ?
Ten percent ? five percent ? one percent? Or lets just give good ole Ted credit for one year, fair enough ? Whats that ? ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN MILLION ???????????????????????????????????????????????????
No matter how you look at it bro when you've got somewhere around 1.37 million abortions a year taking place in this country)and thats just since 96 Kennedys been in office over 30 years) thats an awful lot of dead babies !
More even than Saddam killed.
Yeah, thats right, if you're going to make the connection between Bush and dead Iraqis and Americans its only fair to apply the same standard to good ole Ted.
He didnt just kill the woman. HE LEFT HER FOR DEAD !!
He walked to a hotel for whatever stupid reason. He should of been found doing nothing but making repeated dives trying to save that woman. Anything else is just plain good ole unadulterated bullsh*t.
And yet you've never held the same sentiment for GW BUSH !!!
Read today's LATimes for a better history of Ted, than this blog.
Leaving her behind to die in the car, says something about Ted's character, or lack thereof.
during the incident and afterwards, up to an including when he reported it.
and given some jail time? Assuming it was his mother, or daughter, and he acted similarly, what would history have said about him? Think about it.
Ultimately, he lost, thanks to his apparent negligence and dumb thinking, but he recouped as we all know.
Has anyone noticed that our (Calif) taxes, and other fees have gone up?
Oh, and the tax brackets have pushed taxpayers into higher tax rates.
about 2 trillion dollars over 10 years ( higher than originally forecast).
Obama is insisting that taxpayers who earn over 200,000 year, pay at a higher rate. This is still a higher rate folks, no matter what you call it.
the DMV fees, and California State taxes.
What is a poor Jew (Conservative) to do?
what would this country be like? What would the world be like?
How would we Jews fare in America if there were 150m Muslims?
choice ( except WW2 ). We could have stayed out of "Nam" and Iraq.
Whose to say what the results would have been?
rid of Saddam (3 weeks). I mean, it was none of our business, right, wrong.
Saddam was a really bad dude. He killed hundreds of thousands of Arabs and Muslims. He killed over 1m Iranians. He butchered his own family.
He stole from his people. He invaded Kuwait. He ignored the UNSC's resolutions afterwards. He had every opportunity to leave the country, with his sons, etc. He didn't.
The mistake by Bush was in declaring mission accomplished prematurely.
Also, not allowing the Iraqis to form their own govt afterward…His goal of a democratic Iraq was absurd. Arabs cannot govern themselves. whether in Iraq or Afghanistan. Religious Muslims cannot be democratic (see Iran).
Serbs do to US? Are we aware that they lost over 600,000 during WW2, to Muslim SS divisions, etc.? Maybe they hold a grudge?
maybe our involvement was a mistake? Maybe Walter C. was in error? Maybe we should have won that war?
his liberal ideas..many of which did aid US.
successfully reach out to the other side, unlike you.
Want to know about govt bureacracy, just look at the IRS.
Federal prosecutors looking into every aspect of your life? Do you want to be served with a John Doe Summons?
Just as the Kennedys have been ridiculously lionized by the Left, they have been ridiculously demonizeed by the Right. It's all childish. And talking about hypocrisy – if I wrote a piece like that the day after Reagan died, guys like you would be up in arms over my indecency. And you say I "never held the same sentiment for GW BUSH," when from the very comment you quoted I said exactly the same thing about GW Bush. I've said that about Bush many times. If anything Bush always struck me as all too human – not a very objective person.
The world is not a perfect place, Micky. There are lots of Saddams out there. We are not the world's police. We can't fix every country. And besides, there were plenty of options to invasion. The US has a long (often sleazy) history of destabilizing and overthrowing governments without ever so much as raising a rifle. Iran, Chile, Guatamala, even Australia have felt our imperial tenticles affect the course of their histories. We've altered the histories of countless dozens of countries without violence. The war was unnecessary. Period. We should have just paid off a few Iraqi generals to pull a coup.
I'm glad Kennedy did his part to make abortions legal, regulated, and safe. Good for him.
Nobody knows for sure what happened that night. Any remaining memory of that event died forever yesterday. Whatever happened, happened, and it happened a long time ago. But in America, rich people get to live by a different set of laws than the rest of us. If you or I did what he did, we'd still be rotting in prison to this day. Conservatives, like you, support that status quo. So, if you don't like that Kennedy got away with manslaughter, then look at your own ethics. It's conservatives like you that let the rich get away, sometimes literally, with murder.
You know why most Jews are "liberal"? Because they're smart. The Jewish tradition strongly stresses education and learning, and as Stephen Colbert said, "Reality has a well-known liberal bias." The more educated you are, the more likely you are to be liberal. Therefore, most Jews are liberal. It's a testament to the value of their traditions.
Sorry man, I dont believe you.
You're gonna have to show me where you said that about Bush. And even if you did, everything you'cve ever said about him contradicts it.
Kennedy cant hold a thing to Bush. sorry.
Yeah, but we know what he told us. And what he told us was that he went to a hotel…hes a creep looser.
Kennedys ideoology has nothing to do with my dislike for how he got away with murder.
What kinda idiocy was that when its the left that always throwing vigils and protests for convicted killers ?
You cant have it both ways. Accusing us of wanting to lock everyone up and then saying we let em go just to try and win your stupid argument about Kennedy.
Sorry bub, you ate it on that one.
I directly compared two Bush brothers to Kennedy. You quoted it! Man, Micky, sometimes I just can't figure you out.
That's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
The point I was making about conservatism and rich people being above the law is that conservatism worships wealth. It worships at the idol of money. It is a belief system based on the notion that the accrual wealth is the highest form of productivity, that the wealthy all deserve to be wealthy, that they are the "producers," the creators of wealth, the driving force of the invisible hand. That's what supply-side economics is based upon. And so, naturally, in a society like ours, the wealthy get away with all sorts of misbehavior. That's why so many conservatives believe OJ was innocent – not because of the evidence, but because they didn't like the assertion that his money, his wealth, bought his injustice. You conservatives worship the wealthy, and the wealthy play you all for fools.
"I directly compared two Bush brothers to Kennedy. You quoted it! Man, Micky, sometimes I just can't figure you out.
Because I'm smarter than you give me credit for, thats why.
And even if you did, you've said such horrible things about the man theres not a quote on earth from you that could mitigate it.
Now, lets break down this paragraph, shall we ?
Okay, Teds an imperfect human, got it. I dont see you saying that about Bush.
Not as much as Kennedy, got it. But I dont see you calling him human yet.
Okay, where did you say … Look, George W Bush, love him, hate him, whatever, was a human being. No human being is perfect.
or you could of said….Both Bush and Kennedy love them, hate them, whatever, were human beings . No human being is perfect.
HUH ? Wheres the ame sentiment for Bush ?
So you see jersey. This is an example of the childish game you play.
You claim to of given the same sentiments to Bush that you did Kenedy but thats not really true, is it ?
It say that both Kenedy and Bush abused power and that it corrupted both of them and that they both came from powerful families.
It doesnt say they were both human, it just says that Kennedy was human.
Okay, now that weve got that outa the way I can go on to stomp this.
We worship it because it has value. It has value because we actually earn it.
You guys just take it and expect it for free.
And so Kennedy bought his way out of a murder rap and you believe this ?
Thats the funniest thing I've heard, today.
Micky, this is getting way to pedantic. Just so you know, yes, Bush, like Ted kennedy, is a human being, raised in a powerful family, who behaved like an idiot when he was a kid and got away with it. One stroke of bad luck and GWB could easily have done the same thing Ted did, and he probably would have gotten a way with it just like Ted. When you party a lot, as you should well know, the odds of something really bad happening increase exponentially. GWB, like Kennedy, was an infamous partier when he was young. Kennedy was just a litttle less lucky than Bush. Just the same, Kennedy did a lot more good with his life than Bush did, even though that's not saying much. Bush was sober when he caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis. At least Ted was probably drunk when he killed one woman. And remember, that one woman made a choice. She made a choice to get in the car with a drunk Ted. The thousands of dead Americans and Iraqis had no choice. Bush had the choice, and he chose war profits for his buddies over thousands of innocent lives. Ted had a choice too. He made a bad choice. But at least he was relatively young, and drunk. Bush was older and sober.
I'll take Kennedy over Bush any day.
Now that wasnt so hard ! Was it ???
Sorry, call it pedantic I dont give a rats a$$ you have to stop these pathetic attempts at winning arguments.
I'm trying to groom both of us here so we can have more productive debates, I'm trying on my end.
You can have Kennedy, hes starting to smell. Bush would of handled it differently. As a matter of fact, he did. He never assulted anyone ( I think he smacked his dad ) and still had the foresight to quit drinking.
"Bush was sober when he caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis.
Oh, you wanna play that ole game ? Grow up. Then lets apply the same standard to every president whos war we choose disagree with.
They werent drafted, they knew what was in store.
Being drunk was never an excuse for my idiocy.
Kennedy was sober when he caused the deaths of thousands of American babies who had no choice.
Oh get real. With or without Ted Kennedy, abortion would be legal in the US today. We aren't that backwards a people. the modern American woman is not the property of men. You can't force them to have babies.
The Kennedys own Massachusetts and surely there is another Kennedy to be placed in Teddy's chair, or at least some one of his ilk. Will we never see the last of this corrupt power mongering family? Probably not, they are an ingrained parasitic bunch living off the gains of Old Joe, the bootlegger. They are obviously very fertile.
Conservatives worship wealth and liberals worship sefdom, take your choice. Josef, Vladimir and Nikita are very proud of Barack and his cadre. Karl and Friedrich are getting a little impatient with us though, it is taking far to long for the masses to knuckle under and succumb to the inevitable.
Teddy was just being a good Democrat. He did his very best to destroy people he didn't like or those that just happened to get in his way. But that is what Dems do and they are very good at it. Teddy was one of the best. He proved his worth day in and day out, year in and year out. Oh yes, he will be missed, somewhere by someone, maybe.
eric is right, Teddy was a cancer, but only part of the cancer. The cancer is still there malignant and growing. All we can do is treat the symptoms for now as the cure will take a little time.
But, America is very angry, and that is not a good thing for Teddy's Democrats. They don't understand Americans.
Hes still one of the biggest supporters of abortion there ever was.
You guys love to give him credit for a womans ability to have an abortion its only fair that you give him credit for the consequences also.
Every single person who had his hand in the making of abortion laws is responsible to certain extent. Some more than others. Kenndy… a whole lot.
You just bow him out by saying "with or without" Because "without" amyone pushing abortion there wouldnt be any. But as is the case we clearly have people who are "WITH" the cause.
And Kennedy was with it.
Not every Nazi was responsible for the 6 million Jews that died, but as a collective they all have to share the blame.
And the modern American baby is not the property of anyone to be discarded at will.
Your argument that women are not the property of men is a false argument, its bullsh*t.
Its about the promotion of life and the sanctity of it.
Whether you're fearful of some diety or not its wrong to take one of the greatest things ever and discard of it for your own personal convenence.
Its like saying all those people Tookie Williams murdered was worth it because in the end some really great kids books came out of it. BS, he still killed those people and no matter how neccessary it was it was not his place to take those lives.
You may argue that those lives were of value. But there you go again. You do not determine the value of life, no one should unless its proof positive that person owes a life, such as Tookie who was sentenced to death. These death sentences are far and few apart compared to the amount of abortions which are in the millions every year.
Just like with the health care rationing or end of life counseling that will no doubt be ensued upon us if the bill is passed. It gives liberals the ability to choose what lives are worthy and what lives are not.
Why not ? You guys force people to do all kinds of things. What we eat, how we dress, adjust our thermostats, that all effects my body too.
But oh no, not the babies, they get in the way of my schlonging activities.
Promiscuity is probably the single largest reason you guys like abortion. Furthering your careers I know comes second because you're all such big fans of your own educations.
Heres an example of how you guys dont value life, or the loss of it, and see its loss as a catapult for personal gain.
"We don't know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she'd have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history. What we don't know, as always, could fill a Metrodome.

DJ Alexander Captures 1st WSOP Bracelet in Event #20: GGPoker Flip & Go ($180,665)
October 11, 2021 Adam Lamers
After just seven hours of play on Day 2, 2021 World Series of Poker Event #20: GGPoker $1,000 Flip & Go No-Limit Hold'em came to an end Monday night with DJ Alexander capturing his first WSOP gold bracelet. Alexander will be taking home $180,665 after defeating Jason Beck heads-up in just a few hands at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino .
In the last hand of the tournament, Alexander and Beck each picked up an ace and got all of their chips in the middle preflop. Alexander held a slight chip lead and was ahead with ace-jack against the ace-four of Beck. Alexander managed to turn a straight, leaving Beck drawing to just a chop which he could not do.
Alexander came close to a bracelet in 2017, finishing in second place in Event #20: $1,500 Millionaire Maker, but he was finally able to get over the hump in 2021 in an event that was largely considered a successful experiment.
"It's awesome! It might not look like it but I'm obviously happy," he said after the victory. "I've been here before but it feels great to get over the hump."
In what was a stacked final table with some big names, Alexander managed to come out on top against them all. The poker pro changed the direction of his tournament with a big call against David Peters with just four players remaining.
"If I call and I'm wrong here, I'll be left with like four big blinds," he said of the memorable hand. "I even still didn't want to call knowing that I beat a high percentage of his range but if I wanted to win the tournament, I needed to take a stand here."
Alexander clearly had the edge going into heads-up play with Beck, who was at the WSOP just to play in the GGPoker-sponsored tournament. Beck clearly enjoyed the moment of being at his first WSOP final table and Alexander gave him credit for a solid effort today: "It was just unfortunate for him that he had a hand to go with and I had a better one. He played well."
2021 WSOP Event #20: 1,000 Flip & Go No-Limit Hold'em Final Table Results
1 DJ Alexander United States $180,665
2 Jason Beck United States $111,715
3 Jake Schwartz United States $82,675
4 David Peters United States $61,815
5 Huy Lam Austrialia $46,695
6 Corey Bierria United States $35,645
7 Rok Gostisa Slovenia $27,495
8 Fred Goldberg United States $21,435
Day 2 Action
There were just 23 players who returned to the felt for Day 2 and a shot at the gold bracelet. With only 30-minute blind levels and some short stacks in the field, there was no doubt the action would be fast-paced and the bust outs would come quick and often.
It took less than an hour for three tables to become two when Elio Fox and Krista Farrell ran into a big stack with pocket kings and were eliminated in the same hand. Daniel Weinman and Mark Ingram also joined the payouts list as just 11 players made it to the first break. After the break, Vojtech Ruzicka ran into a red-hot Peters and was sent home on the final table bubble.
Alexander and Koveh Waysei were the short stacks coming into the final table and it was Waysei who bowed out first, losing a coin flip for 12 big blinds. Alexander, on the other hand, won back-to-back pots against Peters, including a double-up where he spiked a three-outer on the flop. Fred Goldberg came into the final table as one of the leaders but took a couple of bad beats, which resulted in him exiting in eighth place.
David Peters
Rok Gostisa was pretty silent throughout much of the day, but he found a spot to get all of his chips in the middle with pocket jacks. Unfortunately for him, Jake Schwartz woke up with ace-king and hit two kings on the flop to eliminate Gostisa. The blinds and antes eventually caught up with Corey Bierria who found himself at risk in a dominated position against Beck. Bierria was unable to come from behind and wound up in sixth place.
The start-of-day chip leader, Huy Lam, also couldn't come out on the right end of a pot at the final table. His luck continued to spiral down when he ran his pocket nines into Schwartz's pocket threes where Schwartz flopped quads. Lam bowed out in fifth place and Schwartz held a small chip lead going into four-handed play.
The chips continued to bounce around throughout the next level with each player holding a brief chip lead. Peters got lucky to stay alive in a big pot against Beck, but the next hand changed the direction of the tournament. Peters jammed all-in from under the gun with king-jack and Alexander eventually called him off from the big blind with king-queen. Alexander held on to eliminate Peters and take a big chip lead with just three players remaining.
Schwartz and Beck were hovering around 15 big blinds apiece when the two clashed in a big pot. Schwartz bet-called off a shove from Beck with two pair but Beck held a small flush to eliminate Schwartz and set up a heads-up match against Alexander. It didn't take long for the match to finish as both players woke up with an ace, Alexander holding the better of the two which held on to bring an abrupt end to the tournament.
Dejuante "DJ" Alexander and his crew.

The Neuquén Indigenous Confederation appealed to the Supreme Court requesting the declaration of unconstitutionality of Decree 1184/2002 issued by the Province of Neuquén, a decree relating to the national law on indigenous policy, on the grounds that the decree breached various constitutional provisions. The Confederation argued that the aforementioned decree imposed greater barriers on Mapuche communities when registering as a legal entity than those defined in national law, and that it omitted self-identification as a fundamental criterion for registration.
In the background to this case, the claimant indicated that the High Court had reviewed the case in the first instance and dismissed the Confederation's claim. The Confederation then lodged an appeal with the Supreme Court, asking for the case to be reviewed. The Supreme Court ordered a new sentence to be handed down in line with the Court's instructions. However, when handing down the new sentence, the lower court partially ignored the Supreme Court's instructions.
In its analysis, the Supreme Court explained that both Argentina and its provinces had jurisdiction to regulate the rights of indigenous peoples, as long as the provinces did not contradict or diminish the standards established in federal legislation, which comprised the Constitution, ILO Convention No. 169 and the national law on indigenous policy.
Once the Supreme Court had reviewed the decree in the light of the aforementioned standards, it found that:
"The decree subject to this claim not only fails to cover self-identification, as established in article 2 of the law on indigenous policy and paragraph 1 of Article 2 of Convention No. 169 as a fundamental criterion for registration, but also substitutes it with the opposing principle of identification on the part of the State".2
The Court then stated that:
"Decree 1184/02 was issued (...) without taking into consideration the ILO Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169), whose Article 6 establishes that 'governments shall: (a) consult the peoples concerned, through appropriate procedures and in particular through their representative institutions, whenever consideration is being given to legislative or administrative measures which may affect them directly'."3
Referring to the Constitution, the law on indigenous policy and ILO Convention No. 169 to study Decree 1184/02, the Court concluded that it imposed conditions that represented a clear restriction and regression with respect to the provisions of federal legislation, and declared the decree to be unconstitutional.

It is only a short walk from the main yard at Gordon Elliott's Cullentra House Stables to the back field but the dogs lying outside the tack room in the afternoon sun are unimpressed by the equine royalty that awaits us there and they decide it is not worth the effort. They raise their heads briefly and watch us disappear around the corner.
There is a white patch, which looks a little like a heart, on his forehead. It seems apt. Because this is Tiger Roll who, next Saturday, will try to become the first horse to win the Grand National two years in succession since Red Rum did it in 1973 and 1974.
A truck carrying wood chippings towards the construction site of a new barn trundles past, trailing clouds of dust, and Tiger Roll and Samcro take fright and bolt towards the centre of the field. We walk back to Elliott's office where his desk sits in front of a picture window that looks out on to the yard and where a large-screen TV is set to a racing channel.
The office is a monument to obsession and to success. Trophies from Cheltenham and memorabilia from Aintree and Leopardstown crowd the shelves and line the walls. A couple of picture frames sit on the desk but there is nothing in them. No pictures of a partner. No images of dad with his kids. None of the gestures to family that successful men often make in their place of work.
'I'm single,' says Elliott, 41. 'No kids that I know about. I work hard. I'd say I've had a few long-term girlfriends but most of the break-ups have been my fault because I'm too selfish. Horses are 24/7. It's not easy for someone. I'm not ready to settle down. I hope it happens to me someday but at the moment I just don't see it.
If the narrative around the Grand National next Saturday will fix on Tiger Roll's tilt at history, it will also revolve around the remarkable prominence of Elliott in the race and the rise and rise of a trainer whose hunger to catch and overtake his great rival Willie Mullins in the pecking order of Irish racing has become all-consuming.
If Mullins is a patrician presence in Irish racing, Elliott is the outsider, the son of a panel-beater and a housewife, a man whose ambition has driven him on and whose 78-acre empire here amid the lush countryside of County Meath continues to grow.
The lorry that startled Tiger Roll was a symbol of that ambition, the instrument of a man who is still building towards the fulfilment of a dream.
As he sits at his desk, Elliott, a former jockey with a decent record in point-to-points, runs his finger down the list of provisional entries for the big race at Aintree and estimates he will have anything from 10 to 12 runners in the National when the line-up is finalised on Thursday. Martin Pipe, Elliott's idol and former employer, holds the current record with 10.
There is something refreshing about the openness and voracity of Elliott's ambition. He does not hide behind false modesty or disingenuous self-deprecation. He is not boastful and he is the very opposite of brash, but he has worked so hard to rise to where he is now that he feels no need to apologise for his success.
He listens politely to the suggestion that one man training a quarter of the field in a race as big as the Grand National is unhealthy for the sport and swats it away. He listens to the idea he is dependent on the patronage of the Gigginstown House Stud, the racing operation run by Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary and the owners of Tiger Roll, and dismisses it.
'I understand it when people say I have too many runners in the National,' Elliott says. 'I get it day in and day out. But I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I didn't get left anything. I bought this place six years ago. I built everything myself.
'My background does drive me. I have a mortgage to pay and wages to pay every day of the week. I took a chance when I bought this place. I hadn't got the price of a deposit, never mind buying the place. We have kept driving on and driving on and driving on. We never stop.
'We are lucky: we have good staff and good owners. If you sit back at all in this game for a second you are going to go backwards. That's the way I see it. The success hasn't changed my hunger. No. It does for a lot of people.
'If you're David Beckham or you're somebody who's playing soccer and getting a couple of hundred thousand a week, maybe, but in this game you're not making much money. You've got big overheads so you can't sit back. It's all go, you know.
'My mother and father aren't from horses. My father's out there cutting the lawns for me. My mother cleans the house for me three days a week. I have worked hard for everything I've got. I didn't get any hand-outs.
And so Elliott won at Perth, Ayr and Musselburgh and his horses graduated to bigger things. And soon he was winning in Ireland, too. And gradually his string of horses grew with his reputation and the 30 horses under his tutelage turned to 40 and to 50 and to 100. And then in 2013 he bought Cullentra House and the land around it because he knew he could not achieve his ambition without it.
The property is state-of-the-art now. There is an equine swimming pool, there are four purpose-built gallops, an all-weather schooling strip. There is capacity for 200 horses. Elliott has built such a reputation that when O'Leary split with Mullins a couple of years ago it was natural he should move many of Gigginstown's horses to train at Cullentra House.
Elliott has trained well over 1,000 winners. He has won two Grand Nationals and the 2016 Cheltenham Gold Cup with Don Cossack.
Through it all he has remained down to earth, likeable. He admits only to one diversionary weakness: between 1.30pm and 2pm every day he watches the Australian soap Home and Away.
Elliott is well liked. People are pleased for him. He is unrelentingly respectful towards Mullins and open about the fact that his rival is the man who sets the standards. His yard appears a happy place.
'I am easy going most of the time,' Elliott says. 'When things go wrong I can get revved up. If you don't, you shouldn't be doing it. You have got to have a bit of fire in you. If somebody rubs me up the wrong way I wouldn't be afraid to let go at them.
Elliott will travel to Aintree confident Tiger Roll is in the form of his life and that even though he will be carrying six pounds more in the National than 12 months ago he has a good chance of repeating last year's hair-breadth triumph and writing his name in the record books alongside Red Rum.
Whatever happens, his own ambition will not be sated. He is too far behind Mullins in the prize money list this season to have a realistic chance of stopping him winning Ireland's champion trainer title for the 12th year in succession. But he will keep coming back. And only a fool would bet against him.
'I'm 41 and I've trained a lot of winners for my age,' he says. 'But there's only one thing I want to be and that's champion trainer.
'I'm hoping I'm going to be in the game for the next 25 or 30 years and hopefully it'll happen at some stage.


After reading my previous column on Hegel, a dear Protestant colleague, recently retired from an Eastern university, noted that my brief reference to a remark by Hegel concerning the Eucharist and the Real Presence might need some clarification. Today, the Feast of Christ the King, which was only instituted in 1925 as a response the growing secularism, is a fitting day to reflect on such matters.
My reference was to one of Hegel's lectures on the philosophy of religion, in which he criticized the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, causing a Catholic student to report him to the authorities. Hegel had attempted what we might call a sick joke: he asked whether, if a mouse had come across a consecrated Host and eaten it, Catholics might be obliged to act worshipfully to the mouse, and so forth.
My friend observed that I was giving the impression that Lutherans do not believe in the Real Presence. He pointed out that Luther strongly disagreed with Zwingli, Calvin, and other Reformers, who interpreted the Eucharist as a spiritual presence, or a mere memorial – in other words, Jesus was not physically present.
Apostolic succession is also in play: Luther, validly ordained as a Catholic priest, may have had the power of consecration, if he had the proper intention, although he did not believe in some elements of the Mass. But as his followers and other Reformers multiplied, and produced various interpretations of the priesthood and episcopate (when they believed in them at all), hardly any elements of Apostolic succession would seem to remain – unlike the Orthodox churches, and possibly, for a time, the Anglican confession.
Christ, being the Son of God, has no problem being really, substantially present under the appearance of bread and wine. As the Divine Wisdom, his "delight is to be with the children of men." (Proverbs 8:31) His sojourn in Galilee was not sufficient; he wants (like an extreme extrovert) a personal encounter with each person. If, as Luther insisted, we are saved by faith alone, the Catholic belief in the Real Presence is perhaps the highest expression of faith.
But we would be on the wrong track. At the Last Supper, He could and did put all future followers on the same level as his disciples, by giving them the Eucharist. They could enter into his presence just as easily as the woman who approached to touch his garment (Mk. 5:28), or the Apostle John leaning on Jesus' breast (Jn. 13:25), or the Apostle Thomas quiveringly touching his wounds (Jn. 20:27) after the Resurrection.
There have been saints who were blessed in a special way in receiving Communion, actually seeing and/or hearing the Lord. (Catholics, like other people, do occasionally have religious experiences.) But for most of us, most of the time, we may not feel any special presence.
But do you think His Apostles and disciples during his public life felt some special aura as they approached Him? There were a few exceptions, when He allowed his divinity to be manifested sensibly: to the bystanders at His Baptism by John (Mt. 3:17); to Peter, James, and John at the Transfiguration (Mt. 17:5); and when his captors in the Garden of Olives were struck to the ground (Jn. 18:6) by the power of His presence.
But for the most part, His contemporaries probably did not feel a supernatural presence any more intently than we do, although they may have been transfixed by His words and works.
Whether or not we, two millennia afterwards, experience any sensory presence of the Lord in the Eucharist, the Eucharist offers us the same opportunity as Christ's contemporaries: to get close and speak to Jesus, and become eligible for some of the spiritual changes that the Son of God can bring about secretly in the innermost sanctuaries of our souls.

Increasing competition is shaking up a moribund energy market
BritainNov 29th 2014 edition
NOT so long ago, Britain's "big six" energy suppliers—SSE, EDF, Npower, E.ON, Scottish Power and British Gas, now owned by Centrica—seemed to have the energy market stitched up. Now, however, all that is changing, and rapidly.
The big six—British and foreign companies (alongside the former state monopoly, British Gas) that bought up the retail energy business after liberalisation in the late 1990s—are being challenged by a wave of small, nimble and ambitious new companies. They have been eating up market share at a remarkable rate. The challengers' share of the household market has risen from 2% in early 2012 to almost 9% now.
Just in the past year, some of the challengers have made spectacular gains. First Utility, the market leader among the new companies, has more than tripled its number of customers, to 650,000. Another, Ovo Energy, started in 2009, has increased its numbers from 140,000 to 400,000. The smallest of the big six, Scottish Power, still has over 5m customers, but if the challengers go on at this rate, the market share of the big six could have shrivelled by almost 20% within three years.
Most of the challengers' growth is a consequence of customers switching suppliers. Switching used to be almost entirely between the big six. Now more than half of customers who switch do so from one of the big six to a smaller competitor.
It is not difficult to account for the sudden success of the new companies. They are the beneficiaries of popular anger at the incumbents, particularly over price and customer service. On price, customers saw energy prices rise gradually during the 2000s, causing little concern, but much more steeply thereafter; between 2011 and 2013 there was an increase of over 15% in average household gas and electricity spend. There is still debate as to whether these rises were justified, or whether it was blatant profiteering by the big six, but many customers drew their own conclusions. There was a stampede towards the smaller, and usually cheaper, alternatives. At this point the big six were put on the naughty step by the politicians, with Ed Miliband, in particular, promising that if the Labour Party were to win the next election his government would introduce a price freeze.
It is not all about money, however. Stephen Fitzpatrick, the head of Ovo Energy, says that his company is as much about offering good service as "fair prices." The big six have long been castigated by consumer bodies for their dreadful customer service. This reflects the fact, argues Edmund Reid of Lazarus Partnership, a research outfit, that "traditionally, the big six have seen themselves as producers of energy, and the customer as a passive recipient of it, a route to market." By contrast, the challengers are mostly involved in retail only.
Mr Fitzpatrick, for instance, says he was originally inspired to found Ovo by his "appalling" experience in trying to sort out his bills with his own supplier. His frustrating hours on the phone to an Indian call-centre will resonate with many. At Ovo, everyone manning the phones is trained and works in-house.
The new companies also offer the consumer more choice than before, particularly in terms of renewable energy. Good Energy, for instance, offers 100% green energy. It is consequently a bit more expensive than its peers, but is still growing. Juliet Davenport, its boss, also takes customer care seriously; she has set up a "Good Energy Academy" to train staff to deal with customers. The challengers are also taking a lead in applying new technology to measuring consumption; "smart meters" allow people to reduce their bills.
All this is good news, finally, for the beleaguered consumers. They have more choice, and the lower prices that the challengers can offer have forced the big six to reply in kind. Since August they have begun to slash their one-year fixed price tariffs in order to woo customers back.
Indeed, Mr Miliband's threat of draconian intervention already looks dated. If anything, argues Mr Reid, the Labour Party leader might have forced prices to remain higher for longer than they might otherwise have been. Companies have been reluctant to reduce prices too much, he says, for fear that they might not be able to raise them again after the election.

From 2006 until 2009 I works with filmmaker Paul Devlin on BLAST!, a documentary that follows a team of cosmologists as they build and then launch a 10-ton telescope from a 40-story balloon in the Arctic and Antarctic circles.

Give Yourself A Break… See The World!
If you feel as though you're always rushing around, as though you might not have as much personal time to yourself as you would like, then you really do need to take a break. What better way to take a break than going on a little travelling holiday to see the world. Those that do it say it's the best decision they've ever made in their life. Those that don't regret it until they're old and grey! There's so many travelling opportunities available, and you don't even need to be going for long periods of time. Just squeezing in a few holidays a year is all you need! Here are some destinations that should be on your hit list.
We'll start off with the biggest journey first. A trip to the USA is a trip of a lifetime, and there's just so many different areas that you can go to. There are some of the more popular areas that people always chose, but we think that going for the ones that aren't as commercialised are the best. For example, Pittsburgh. It is a lovely little city found in the state of Pennsylvania, and it really does have a ton of things to do and plenty of character. Because it's not so mainstream, you can find cheap deals on accomodation, the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott being one of them. Because it's not so mainstream, you will generally find that everything will be a lot cheaper, from the attractions you visit, to the food you buy. One of the attractions that we think you'll love, whether travelling with a family or not, is the Kennywood theme park. It'll just add a little bit of a thrill to your holiday! Mount Washington is also a popular place. It's a row of restaurants with a huge mountain overlooking it. It really does give you food with a view!
Budapest is a completely different holiday to a trip to the US, but it's just as good. If you're going to go to Budapest, you need to immerse yourself into the history and culture. There's so much to see there in the way of museums, historical buildings, and churches. One we definitely recommend you look at is the Fisherman's Bastion. It truly does look like a castle from a fairytale, and it stands so perfectly and clean! Budapest is also famous for its thermal spas which should definitely be on your hit list.
Switzerland is one of the best countries to visit because it's just so calm and lovely. Everyone there is out to be your friend, and it has been voted one of the best countries to live in in the world. One thing you will be blown away by is the scenery. The vast mountains, green planes, and lakes with the most clear water you've ever seen. Lake Constance and Lake Geneva should definitely be two of your tops on your tour around the country. They're two of the biggest and best lakes they have, and both are surrounded by cute little Swedish towns to explore.
Where's your favourite place to go?
What a fab post, I love travelling and I'm always thinking about where I can head to next! I really love the look of Budapest and I've always dreamed of going to New York although that's definitely more mainstream! But I have so many destinations on my list.
Im so glad you included Budapest! I really want to go, I keep seeing it come up on city break deals and there always really good offers. Do you have any recommendations on where is best to stay?
Love the blog too! Keep up the good work!

Zinedine Zidane has made a sensational return as coach of Real Madrid after Santiago Solari's sacking was finally confirmed on Monday.
Zidane has been given a contract until June 2022, just nine months after he resigned at the end of last season, having led Madrid to an historic third consecutive Champions League triumph.
Solari's dismissal was expected after three consecutive home defeats – to Barcelona, twice, and Ajax – deemed Madrid's season all-but over before the middle of March.
But Zidane coming back, with only 11 games left in La Liga and almost nothing to play for, is a surprise, particularly after he left on the incredible high of yet another European triumph.
"Real Madrid's board has decided to terminate Santiago Solari's contract as coach of the first team," read an official statement on Monday.
"Real Madrid appreciates the work done by Santiago Solari and the commitment and loyalty he has always shown to this club.
"The board has also agreed to the appointment of Zinedine Zidane as the new coach of Real Madrid with immediate effect for the remainder of the season and the next three, until June 30, 2022."
Like Solari, Zidane had been in charge of Real Madrid's reserve side, Castilla, when he was promoted in January 2016. Madrid finished second that year before going on to win La Liga in Zidane's first full season in charge.
They were unable to repeat the feat last term and finished 17 points behind Barcelona but domestic disappointment was almost forgotten as Zidane again oversaw success in Europe, with a victory over Liverpool in the final in Kiev.
Immensely popular with most of the players, Zidane's appointment will almost certainly lift morale in the dressing room, following a week in which captain Sergio Ramos has reportedly argued with club president Florentino Perez and been involved in a training ground spat with Marcelo.
Gareth Bale was one of the few to suffer during Zidane's previous spell in charge, with the pair barely on speaking terms in the run-up to the Champions League final. Bale's future now appears in serious doubt unless their relationship can be quickly repaired.
The Welshman might have left last summer had Zidane stayed but instead it was Cristiano Ronaldo that departed and the Frenchman now takes over a team missing the Portugese's goals and in urgent need of reform.
Despite Madrid's dominance in the Champions League, there is ground to make up in La Liga, where Barcelona are on course to seal their eighth league title in 11 years.
Madrid sit 12 points adrift of Barca in the table despite a 4-1 victory over Real Valladolid on Sunday, which proved to be Solari's final game in charge.
Solari was handed a contract until 2021 after overseeing an improvement following the sacking of Julen Lopetegui in November.
But familiar problems, including a lack of goals and a leaky defence, resurfaced in February as a defeat at home to Girona was quickly followed by losses to Barcelona in the league and cup, and humiliation by Ajax in the last 16 of the Champions League.

In the last part, we can say that Media Player Classic takes place among the users as it is quite easy to use, easy to install, and does not take up enough space. However, as the number of users is limited, as the software is limited to Windows users only, Media Player Classic is lagging in terms of the number of users worldwide. After analyzing several reviews, it can be concluded that Media Player Classic visually has an advantage over VLC Media Player, but since the options for users are limited, many people tend to have VLC Media Player, at least on their system. Personally, Media is a class when we talk about aspects of video, and although VLC Player bothers me in these aspects, I immediately switch to Media Player Classic. Additionally, live video from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Xbox Live, PlayStation.

In this paper, we will discuss The Education for All Handicapped Children Act also known as Public Law (PL) 94-142 of 1975. This piece of legislation encompasses many aspects of equal opportunity in education for handicapped children, ranging from individualized education programs, assessments, available technology, resources, placement, curriculum, evaluations, and learning environment. We will also evaluate the history of this law, providing insight about how it became what it is today. In addition to reviewing amendments of the law over time, we will discuss the law and its relationship with disabled students (regardless of the intensity of their disability). Finally, we will review the implications of the law as it relates to classroom management, instruction, and its impact on students and teachers alike.
The Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA or EHA), or Public Law (PL) 94-142 of 1975 mandated any school receiving federal funds to provide a free, appropriate public education for all children between the ages of five and 21, regardless of emotional or physical disabilities. Public schools were required to evaluate these children and formulate a plan to educate them in a way comparable to their non-handicapped peers. PL 94-142 also required an individualized education program (IEP) for every student with a disability. The program should be based on a multi-disciplinary assessment and incorporate any related services necessary to help that child. The IEP included both short-term and long-term goals for the student. The school had to take steps to ensure that each student classroom placement was in the most normal setting possible providing a non-restrictive environment (LRE) for the child.
PL 94-142 specified that children's testing be done in a non-discriminatory manner and took into account the child's disability, including that of a different native language.
The act allowed the parents to become more involved in the testing and placement of their children. In addition, parents must give their consent before any evaluations or placement decisions. PL 94-142 also required that school districts provide administrative procedures so that parents of disabled children could dispute decisions made about their children's education.
