"They also worry that retailers will be able to scan customers who carry new types of personal ID cards as they walk through a store, without their knowledge. Several states, including Washington and New York, have begun issuing enhanced driver's licenses that contain radio- frequency tags with unique ID numbers, to make border crossings easier for frequent travelers. Some privacy advocates contend that retailers could theoretically scan people with such licenses as they make purchases"

What in Haedis is

Tribe hummus?

I was sitting at the bird cage having my daily visit with my kokatiel before he went to bed the other night. While visiting I was reading the newspaper on the floor of the cage. It had the weekly grocery store page on the floor so I was reading that to see what appealed to me. I came across an item that said tribe hummus. Now I said to "I" what the hell is that. I never heard of it before. With the word hummus I thought it was something they dug up in the peat bogs or somewhere and prepared food out of it. I was thinking it had to be something like ground bog moss. I said to "I"( "I" is not the name of the bird. "I" is my space alien friend.)Big Grin anyhow I said to "I" that stuff must taste like day old road kill.

Well I sat down at the computer to catch up on the news and lottery results but decided to do a search and find out what the hell that stuff is. Sure enough it popped up and told me what it is. A middle eastern bean dish and how it is prepared. When has that dish become popular to sell in the market?

I like bean dishes but never had that one.

Is freedom of religion next

The page is very slow at this site. You may not get the page at all. May be getting a lot of hits as Drudge has it up too.

"Words matter - listen carefully to our current administration

 

"Since the initially strong language on religious freedom used in President Obama's Cairo speech, presidential references to religious freedom have become rare, often replaced, at most, with references to freedom of worship. A purposeful change in language could mean a much narrower view of the right to religious freedom.

All this is coming out before the mid term elections. If the conservatives do not jump on this they are plain illiterate.

The news media looks like it may be busy this week.

Does campaign funds buy elections

I was just thinking reading todays news about campaign funds each candidate has gotten. If they are going to have campaign reform it should not matter how much each candidate has raised. But. The candidate who raises a lot of cash swamps t v and print media with a lot of ads which influences a lot of people.

My thought is each candidate should have equal time on t v and print ads.

Money buys votes

They are playing a political news game here

Something does not smell right in D C. In the past week there have been quite a few stories on the dems losing it. President Obama suddenly having stories written about sudden drops in the polls for this and that. The house and possibly the senate races that are going to be lost in the fall. The house and the white house kickin the ball back and forth on losing. Plus many other articles.

Been dominating the news lately. I wonder if this is all planned strategy on their part? Mid term elections generaly have a slow voter turnout. Could this be part of the plan to rouse the democratic and liberal voters for turnout?

I see talk if the republicans win the house it will be a blame game on them on policy failures.

Just seen an article where the white house and staff members are going to be out stumpin for their candidates. That may help them lose. LOL

Something aint right. Take another week or so to see how the news changes on the subject. I think they have something planned here.

Need to get and read that book on "Rules For Radicals". The strategy could be in there.

What is going on

From reading the news as to what is happening in the white house recently I am getting indicators. What I see is former Pres Clinton hanging out in the white house. Looks to me like he may be giving Pres Obama some tuteledge.

I see today that a former Clinton person is taking a position in the white house.
