Autumn on the Lakeside
In what has become a blog tradition, allow me to offer some new shots taken this evening at near dusk that show some autumn foliage and interesting colors on the lakeside.
Later in the week, if we have another day without rain, I can get some good shots of big trees turning down by the park that will be much better.

It's gorgeous! That was one of my requirements for a house: I had to have trees. Of course I'm not the one that has to deal with the falling leaves so that's easy for ME to say.

Sean Hannity says, "Stay home on election day!"
I hope that backfires on him. However, I doubt many Democrats listen to his stupid radio show, anyway.

I love the last picture.
Nice depth and simply beautiful!

Good morning!
"The FBI's top hackers apparently have been unable to break through Joseph Edward Duncan III's security encryptions, and a plea bargain Duncan's lawyers struck Monday with state prosecutors says the key must only be shared with his defense lawyer."

Captain Joe, is the professor a "loon" because you disagree with his theory on what happened at the World Trade Center?

From the Duncan link:
"I am working on an encrypted journal that is hundreds of times more frank than this blog could ever be (that's why I keep it encrypted)," Duncan wrote on his Web log three days before the May 16, 2005, murders near Coeur d'Alene.
Duncan speculated that it would take at least 30 years for technology to emerge that could easily crack the encryption "and then the world will know who I really was, and what I really did, and what I really thought."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He's really full of himself, isn't he? It ticks me off that any kind of plea deal is being offered to this monster. Much as I think he doesn't deserve to live, I do think life terms without possibility of parole is a better punishment than the Death Penalty.
Hopefully, he won't last very long in there.
Unfortunately, nothing that is done to him there will come close to the suffering he put those children through.

Nadine, it is my understanding that the reason the first plea bargain offered by his PD wasn't accepted was because the DA wasn't willing to take the DP off the table. The new plea bargain withholds the penalty until the Federal case is tried. The DP is still on the table in Idaho.
The first PB offered the keys to the encryption.

No, BYU thought he was a loon...
"BYU stripped Jones of two classes and put him on leave in early September. It also began investigating his research.
The school abandoned its review Friday after reaching a retirement agreement with Jones, BYU spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said."

You can now view "America: Freedom to Fascism" online for $5.
Well worth it and I highly recommend it.

Good morning all. I have much reading to do.
Loretta, those pictures were such a surprise. The colours have changed so suddenly.
BBL, if I can...

Ciao, everyone!

That is a good point Vet4Bush. I mean, if any institution is known for fostering an environment where dissent is welcomed it's BYU. LOL!

I would have been one of the people to laugh out loud at the new republican commercial.

Loretta, thanks for that link to Olbermann's commentary. I swear, he rocks!
He really says it like it is.

As far as that stupid ad; as far as I'm concerned, Bush and his cronies are the freaking terrorists.

Morning all!
BTW, Nadine, that should be terrists. LOL

From Ramsey Clark:
QUOTE:
As for U.S. intentions in Iraq, for the first time during my visits, this October the new U.S. Embassy had risen above the high concrete barrier sealing it from view. It is a huge complex with at least 14 cranes still lifting construction materials for its completion, still on schedule. They say for next summer.
It is the “Mother of all U.S. Embassies.” Its initial was cost set at $570 million. We will learn of the cost overruns later. No Iraqis work on construction of the Embassy, for the same reason the architects of the Pyramids were murdered. No outsider must know its secrets. It will have its own assured water system and generators for electricity.

More significantly, it is located in the heart of Baghdad, presently in the International Zone immediately across from the Iraqi Special Tribunal where Saddam Hussein and other officials of the government the U.S. overthrew are on trial.
The U.S. Embassy in Iran was located in the heart of Tehran. It could not be protected from angry crowds that captured and held the residual staff and Marine Guards hostage. After that the U.S. has built secure Embassies removed from easy access by potentially hostile mobs. But none nearly so large, or expensive as the new U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
The ultimate deception is that the Bush Administration intends to remain in Iraq with sufficient military force to assure the security of this huge Embassy situated in the center of a metropolitan area of six million people, a fourth of the nation.
These deceptions, too, are impeachable offenses intended to conceal the most grievous of all high crimes and misdemeanors.
The people of the United States cannot begin to rehabilitate their government in the opinion of the peoples of the world, or in the hearts of their own patriots until we impeach George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and others complicit in their crimes against peace and humanity and continuing war crimes.
