Leave it to Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to determine that Texas school districts need licenses from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to run summer day camp programs. Evidently, the daycare center lobby has been giving Abbott some change for his warchest, because his latest AG opinion on the topic is one of his most idiotic to date. Why did Abbott ask for this opinion? Becaus

You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on… If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, ‘Who’s on first?’ might have turned out something [...]

Back in 2002, everyone knew that Greg Abbott wouldn’t be content staying as Texas’ Attorney General for too long. In fact, some were surprised he didn’t make a move up the political ladder in 2006. Now, the Dallas Morning News is taking notice of the fact that Abbott just happens to have more cash on hand than any other GOP politician: Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has mor

The folks at the Texas Lottery Commission today asked Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott for an opinion on whether or not it is legal to use the electronic “strips” on the back of Texas driver’s licenses to verify the age of individuals purchasing lottery tickets at instant ticket vending machines (ITVMs). This is a very important request for opinion, because it is basically asking the AG to give a state agency the right to use the electronic strip when state statute specifically states that it may only be used for specific purposes: § 521.126. ELECTRONICALLY READABLE INFORMATION. (d) The prohibition provided by Subsection (b) does not apply to a person who accesses, uses, compiles, or maintains a database of the information for a law enforcement or governmental purp

I have been re-reading a book by Alistair Cooke: Memories of the Great and the Good (aff), a set of essays about figures in US life and culture from the 1930s to the 1990s. George Abbott was a Broadway Theatre Producer, was involved in his first broadway production in 1926, and his last in 1989.

Remember back in 2006 and 2007 when Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott was crowing about a bunch of “voter fraud” indictments in Hidalgo and Starr Counties? It appears, now that the majority of those cases have been dismissed, that the AG has little or nothing to crow about: Criminal charges against two politiqueras accused of tampering with ballots in the 2005 McAllen mayoral election were dropped Tuesday, the same day their case was scheduled to go to trial. Hidalgo County Court-at-law Judge Jaime Palacios dismissed the case against Maria Helena Belasquez and Alicia Liscano Molina at the request of prosecutors who did not feel they had enough evidence to convince a jury of wrongdoing. The decision comes five days after a similar case was dismissed against another politiquera,

In Crawford v. Marion County Board of Elections, the landmark Voter ID case presently before the U.S. Supreme Court, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has taken the lead for the right wing and, along with eight other state attorneys general, filed a brief in support of an Indiana Voter ID law. The problem is that the brief [.pdf], written by Abbott and his staff at the AG’s office is riddled with errors and outright lies. You have to look no further than page four to find both the first major error and the first major lie of the brief: Petitioners' claim that voting fraud is largely chimerical is belied by the facts. For example, for decades, the State of Texas has grappled with the challenges of voting fraud. Lyndon B. Johnson's 1946 Senate campaign is only the most infamous instance, but serious allegations of voter fraud have persisted, especially in South Texas, for more than a century. Can you spot the error? That’s right! The “Ballot Box 13″ affair ha

One of the most famous of all portraits of Lord Nelson, this picture by Lemuel Francis Abbott shows him as a hero in the full glory of his military decorations. The original picture hangs in Britain’s National Maritime Museum at Greenwich. With a chestful of gold medals and a spectacular “chelengk” in his hat (a plume of triumph with 13 diamond-encrusted sprays representing the French ships at the Battle of Nile set around a rotating central diamond, given by the Turkish Sultan) Nelson – the superstar of his day – cut a dashing but odd and somewhat controversial figure,, as decorations were not as usual in military life as we they are today. Some other naval officers derided him for wearing them. Dr. Colin White, the renowned Nelsonian scholar and author of The Nelson A to Z, notes that by the end of his life Nelson was entitled to wear the stars of four orders of knighthood and two official gold medals seen here on ribbons around his neck – the King’s Naval Gold Meda

Australian Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott today called for the establishment of independent boards to govern hospitals. The changes will be part of the next five-year Commonwealth-state health agreement Federal funding would be withdrawn from hospitals that did not agree to the boards.Abbott says the purpose of the independent boards is to reduce bureaucracy and make public hospitals more efficient and responsive. "The board and [the] CEO will have control over budgets and make decisions about what happens in hospitals," he said.Federal Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd said that the plan would create more, not less bureaucracy. "Not only are we going to have thousands of federal bureaucrats, thousands of state health bureaucrats, but now a new layer of bureaucracy as well," he said.

Another point about that PPH blog-themed piece: It's the first place where I've seen Steve Abbott identified as both "Collins' chief of staff" and "campaign manager."Is this kosher? My hunch is that it must be, as long as he does all campaign-related work outside of the normal senate schedule.But how unusual is it for a senator's chief of staff to do double-duty as campaign manager in a hotly-contested race? A year before election day?If you know, drop us a line.

The Kimbo Slice / Tank Abbott CFF Championship match that was scheduled for September 28th at the Taj in Atlantic City, NJ, has been rescheduled to October 12th.  I’m really looking forward to seeing this fight.  I think Kimbo will prove himself against Tahnk.  If this holds true, hopefully we’ll see Kimbo make his way to the UFC after a few more challenging fights.  Fingers are crossed! Kimbo Slice is an Animal!

Book Description ISBN-184024500X The Law, in its wisdom, did not differentiate between men and women when it came to passing sentence of death on those found guilty of capital offences, and so in these pages you will read how, in some countries, many women were first tortured on the rack, in the boots, by the bridle, the water torture or the thumbscrews. They were whipped and exposed to public

From the Ashes is now available at Twilight Fantasies Publications.FROM THE ASHES is the story of Hannah Reed, a mortal in love with Will Caldwell, a pyreweld demon. Hannah and Will make a sexual commitment to one another only to have Will leave when another pyreweld—a female—passes through town.

The pressure of Will’s return and his eagerness to pick things up where they left off, as well as her confusion about her feelings toward Michael, causes Hannah to leave Jasper in the hopes of achieving some much needed mental clarity.Read an excerpt here.

Let us first say what photography is not. A photograph is not a painting, a poem, a symphony, a dance. It is not just a pretty picture, not an exercise in contortionist techniques and sheer print quality. It is or should be a significant document, a penetrating statement, which can be described in a very simple term - selectivity. Berenice Abbott, in “Infinity” magazine, 1951.

At Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, in addition to the usual cosmetic surgery procedures such as Los Angeles tummy tuck and breast augmentation, we also provide innovative breathing surgery. Below are excerpts from two articles about a unique procedure to help people previously confined to a ventilator for life. The research behind the procedure and its development was done by Dr. Abbott Krieger, the father of Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery’s Medical Director. Dr. Abbott Krieger did basic research on the concepts for this revolutionary surgery. He then pioneered its use clinically. The procedure uses a nerve transfer technique to allow the phrenic nerves to once again stimulate the diaphragm to move air, allowing patients to breathe without the need for a ventilator.From New Scientist---PEOPLE who face spending the rest of their lives on ventilators may be able to breathe on their own again with the help of a new surgical technique.To help people breathe normally when they're dis

What a great day! The local vintage theater was playing Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Of course I went to see it. A crowd was on hand and it felt wonderful to hear the laughter of the crowd from a 60 year old film. What a great day! Oh the image is a 2 mega pixel image. Should have maybe brought the .3 mega pixel for a more nostalgic feel. I even snapped a few shots of the screen.
