Just back from Best Buy, where I picked up Lady and the Tramp for the kid (he especially likes the stuffed Tramp that comes along with it) and Threat for myself. I’m interested to see what a bunch of teens and twenty-somethings (the oldest, who wrote the script at 21, turned 22 on the day filming began) can do with an indie project that is purported to make Kids look tame by comparison.
Anyway, I bring this up only by way of introduction to a link from Tom Elia that I received while I was out helping to keep the floundering US economy from grinding to a permanent halt—or at least, keep it going until tax increases, neo-isolationism, and an end to the “outsourcing” of jobs indicative of free market globalization save us. Thankfully, such policies will be instituted by our next benevolent liberal-Democratic mommy leader, whomever he or she may be.
But back on point: Here’s Tom, with “Howard Dean Speaks Again!”—which excerpts a speech today given by the DNC chair at the Annual Conference of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs [emphasis in the original]:
“Karl Rove says that the Republicans are going to win on the issue of defense. I submit to you that if the issue is defense, the Republicans will lose because this is the weakest Administration on defense that we’ve seen in many, many years. What I mean is this. For five years this President has been in the White House. For five years North Korea continues to possess nuclear weapons. For five years this Administration has been in the White House, Iran moves closer every day to producing nuclear weapons. For four years, Osama Bin Laden has been on the loose and remains so.
…”The Democrats have a better idea. First we will conclude the negotiations with the Chinese and the North Koreans to disarm North Korea. Secondly, under no circumstances will a Democratic Administration ever allow Iran to become a nuclear power. Three, we will kill or capture Osama bin Laden and four, the authority and the control of the ports of the United States must be retained by American companies.
“We are not simply speaking about the United Arab Emirates—we are also speaking about the western ports which are controlled by companies controlled by the Chinese government. Foreign governments of any kind ought not to be controlling American ports, especially when the Coast Guard already recommended that they could not guarantee the security of the ports.”
Of course, to do the latter, the Democrats will need bi-partisan support—but be that as it may.
What is interesting is that second emphasized paragraph. The message? A vote for Democrats will cure America of every single one of its security problems—from the disarming of North Korea via China (presumably this will take place BEFORE we wrench away their port contracts) to the killing of bin Laden (who, one theory goes, we may be keeping alive in order to discredit and humiliate the movement with each trouncing of al Qaeda) to an intervention of some kind that will keep Iran from becoming a nuclear power even as they are becoming a nuclear power, and Democratic backbiting has potentially, at least, weakened our military resolve.
Of course, how any of this will be accomplished is left to the imagination—or rather, to a form of special rhetorical magic that has become the Dems stock in trade: they can simply will things to be.
Although it hasn’t worked well for the past few elections. But hell—if they’re gonna promise me that all my securities worries can be solved simply by voting for Hillary or Al Gore (with Wes Clark as VP and perhaps even Dean himself on the ticket), who am I to question that?
Plus, free health care and an end to “ethics” violations in Washington, which I don’t suspect will include the rescinding of McCain-Feingold or an unearthing of the complete scope of the Abramoff scandal so much as it will seek to bring back the “Fairness Doctrine” and return control of the American narrative back to the people who, by dint of being our clear betters, really do deserve stewardship over the thing. For our own good.
And of course, FOR FREEDOM!
Bill Maher the other nite thought the democrats should run on “the GOP lost the war in Iraq.” I think a better one is “the GOP IS losing the war in Iraq.” Good enough for electioneering. Like compassionate conservatism and stay the course and bridge to the 21st century.
Needs a theme song.
Wait, did I understand that right? You’re picking up tramps for your kid?
Starting the kid a little early, aren’t we?
1. Elect us.
2. ????
3. Security!
If only some of these issues had arisen when Democratic President Bill Clinton was in office…
Then he could have used his super powers to solve them all before Bushitler was in command.
Oh, wait… North Korea building nuclear missiles, Osama/Usama and Iran seeking uranium all surfaced during Clinton’s Presidency, and they all flourished during his tenure, not to mention the taliban in Afghanistan.
If a democrat gets elected, I’m moving to Canada.
Uh, the “bridge to the 21st century” was Clinton, not the GOP.
My favorite is how Democrats are going to reduce our dependency on “foreign oil”. However, they never say how. They’re opposed to drilling for oil. They’re opposed to nuclear. Many environmentalists are fighting against wind plants.
They seem to think that if we throw billions of dollars at hair-brained ideas, somehow something will magically pop up.
Yeah, Howard. The problem with the 6-way talks is that we are holding China back from really putting the pressure on NK.
Bill Clinton’s trick was to not talk about OBL, not talk about N Korea getting nukes (and sending your SecState to do happy dances with darling Mr. Kim), not talk about port terminals being run by foreign companies, and yet not be declared the most secret president like, ever. The world is so perfect when you just don’t know about the problems!
Howard Dean can usher those days back!
WHAT? NO PIE!?
I DEMAND PIE DR. DEAN!!!
Predictable like clockwork—is your characterization that Dean suggests Dems “can simply will things to be” the other side of the “trust me” coin of your Commander in Chief? Or would that not be accurate?
Que?
How dare you talk about the Democrats when the GOP is so busy ruining the world.
If the Donks win in ‘08, I plan to take up smoking pot. I won’t need my clearance anymore, since there is no way in hell I would continue to live near DC.
Yep, great big bongs followed by endless carping that the administration is ‘doing it wrong’. The current camp of leftists has convinced me that this is the way to solve the worlds problems, or at least ours. And if I’m wrong, at least I’ll be stoned.
Uh, the “bridge to the 21st century†was Clinton, not the GOP.
Yes, and not only was it a failure as government policy, but as an architectural folly (the Clinton Library in Little Rock) it’ll be remembered as one of history’s most ill conceived, second only to the “crescent of embrace” and the Florida State Capitol(which looks startingly like a 300’ marble dick). On second thought, though, an exquisitly overdone trailer jutting accross the Arkansas River, demanding the other bank to get on its knees and kiss it might actually be the perfect symbol of 90’s frivolity. At any rate, the New Madris fault line might yet come in handy.
Uh, yeah, those two are tied for first.
TW: isn’t it ironic that the word “century” came up? Or is it merely coincidence. Fucking Alanis Morisette still has me confus’ed.
“If a democrat gets elected, I’m moving to Canada.”
If a democrat gets elected, just stay put. You’ll soon be living in Canada.
Given that notable Democrats Bill Clinton and Madeline Albright did such a bang-up job in hooking up North Korea with nuclear power plants in the first place… why should I believe The Mad Doctor when he says that Dems will solve the North Korea issue now?
Given that noted Democrat Jimmy Carter did dickall to take back our embassy from Islamist “students” in 1979, why should I believe that the Democrats have the will to do anything worthwhile to halt that same regime’s nuclear ambitions?
When Dean suggests “under no circumstances will a Democratic Administration ever allow Iran to become a nuclear power” is he allowing for the possibility of military action against Iran? Given the antiwar bent of Democrat Party, I don’t find that believable.
Missed that whole “Afghanistan” and “Iraq” stuff the past few years, have you?
Ahh, to be so blissfully unburdened by reality.
Bill Maher: The Karl Rove of the Left.
The only problem with that scenario is that 53% of the electorate demonstated in ‘04 that regardless of how fucked up the GOP might be on any and all issues, they can’t take a chance on handing the keys to a Dem. The Dems damn sure can’t honestly claim to have turned a tap in favor of the war, and are knee deep in obstructing the war effort at every turn. Of course the key word in that last sentence was “honestly”. The majority of the electorate may not pay attention in the off years, but they’ll awake in ‘08 to find that the status quo is untouched. There’s a mommy party and a daddy party.
TW: boy
Nope. That’s too fuckin’ easy.
Sure. If you take out all the actual things Bush has actually done to fight the terror war and protect the US. You remember those, right? —All the shit you people spend so much time objecting to? Iraq war? NSA wiretaps? Detaining enemy combattants without giving them access to Gloria Alred? That sort of stuff?
Or is your position that you’ve simply been tilting at imaginary outrages?
Ah, yes, Howard: a return to the martial glories of Desert One, Black Hawk Down, and bombing the Chicom embassy in Belgrade, leading to a quagmire in Kosovo.
As numerous commentors on one of yesterday’s threads will surely hasten to note, the vast array of data I just laid out demonstrates, like, totally f’d up neo-comforeign policy catastrophes. Inadequate planning!
And incompetence, can’t forget that.
Cordially…
Yo, EXDemocrat! Only a smelly hippie would threaten to run to Canada just because he doesn’t like the reuslts of an election!
Mexico has better beaches.
You got a good point there. Taking into consideration their way of dealing with our enemies.
It won’t be long until we experience an explosive landing in the Great White North.
I intend on getting away from danger.
Bill Maher: The Karl Rove of the Left.
You mean me and my fellow Bushco KKKultists here are supposed to obsess over a mule-faced celebrity, and attribute to him great powers to alter nature and physics?
Cordially…
That’s sarcasm, right?
Just checking.
SB: justice
Truth and the Amurican Way!
Hey, it could be made work. But it’s all in the follow through.
1. “First we will conclude the negotiations with the Chinese and the North Koreans to disarm North Korea.” My thoughts: we meet with China and the North Koreans. Our negotiating position? We tell them North Korea has 72 hours to disarm or Pyongyang is turned to glass. Emphasize this talking point by sending the chief North Korean negotiator’s head back to Kim Jong Il in a tasteful box.
2. “Secondly, under no circumstances will a Democratic Administration ever allow Iran to become a nuclear power.” My thoughts: well, see point 1, except there’s no need for China to chaperone these talks. We just do it direct.
3. “Three, we will kill or capture Osama bin Laden.” My thoughts: Easy enough. Preemptive nuclear strike and resultant depopulation of Waziristan. Followup regimen to include repeated, low-level saturation of the entire region with VX—just to make sure.
4. “The authority and the control of the ports of the United States must be retained by American companies.” My thoughts: If there’s any who are willing. But ultimately, not a problem. We just nationalize the ports and hand it over to TSA, who do such a bang-up job with airport security, where nary a cute 16-year old female soccer player has gone unprobed. Because god knows, private industry can’t do it alone. We need a good, voting, dues-paying government union worker to do the job correctly.
See? Even Dean’s plans can be made to work if we apply a little creativity to them.
Of course, short of being executed that ruthlessly, I don’t see much hope for them.
Hillary might have the stomach for it. Howard Dean? I really doubt it.
I know. Clinton was good at that stuff.
Actually The Colossus, I detect the strong aroma of chocolate cookies, wafting dreamily from Dean’s plans.
TW: wrong – then again, it could be ginger snaps
YEAAAAAAAARGH!!!
And so forth.
Howard Dean speaking on national security.
Next up, Kermit the Frog unites quantum mechanics and relativity.
Oh, and actus, as always–you’re an idiot.
Ugh, did I say plans? I meant blabber.
No matter how bad things get for the Republicans there is always Howard Dean. How Karl Rove invented this guy is beyond me.
I saw a great bumpersticker today: “Dean/Obama ‘08” Please let it be so!
The Dems shouldn’t put all their eggs in the national defense basket. Too many people know they aren’t too good at that stuff.
Domestic policy. Now that’s where they sparkle. So I want them to promise me a whole lot of money and great sex. Sure the nation will fall to outside forces, but, hell, I’ll go happy!
You see the key word there is nuclear power. Even if Iran gets a couple of nukes, when the United States has like millions, maybe even billions of nukes you really can’t consider Iran a nuclear power, can you? I mean I’ll bet we have like billions and billions more nukes that Iran could get in 10 or 20 years, you call that a power? Or a threat? What kind of scare-mongering chickenhawk Nazi are you? We would never let Iran get the gazillion nukes it would take to be a real power.
The Democrats have a brilliant plan for us that requires little to be convincing … little other than a complete and abject ignorance of modern history.
Oh, right … I forgot … Democrat voters have that.
Reminds me of “How To Do It”, from Monty Python’s Flying Circus…
Alan: Here’s Jackie to tell you all how to rid the world of all known diseases.
Jackie: Well, first of all become a doctor and discover a marvellous cure for something, and then, when the medical profession really starts to take notice of you, you can jolly well tell them what to do and make sure they get everything right so there’ll never be any diseases ever again.
Alan: Thanks, Jackie. Great idea. How to play the flute. (picking up a flute) Well here we are. You blow there and you move your fingers up and down here.
Noel: Great, great, Alan. Well, next week we’ll be showing you how black and white people can live together in peace and harmony, and Alan will be over in Moscow showing us how to reconcile the Russians and the Chinese. So, until next week, cheerio.
I remember laying in bed on dark nights in 1999 praying “please oh please God, let Mr. Clinton finish building that bridge in time.” I mean, can you imagine the catastrophe that would have happened, had 2000 come and the bridge had not been built? Would we have been stuck, or what?
When Dean says he can tame the Norks, I believe him.
The Nork-in-charge is a nut, right?
Nobody can harness Crazy and make it do his bidding like Dean.
He’ll have Kim wearing an orange toque and canvassing Wisconsin (with a trunk full of donk doorhangers) in no time.
Are you sure his plan didn’t also involve using the power of meditation to levitate the Pentagon?
Seems like that ought to be in there somewhere.
Got it!!
Psychokinesis
I seem to recall that Kerry had a plan for dealing with Iraq. Did he ever tell us what it was?
Maybe Dean is recycling Kerry’s imaginary plans. See, he’s being environmentally conscious.
lauraw posts at Protein Wisdom! Far-freaking-out!
Cordially…
After declaring the war in Iraq lost, and expressing the desire to run away like little girls, I seriously doubt that ANY platform built around the dems having a clue about national defense will not end the same as the last election. Their best bet will again lie in promising to raise taxes, legalize gay marrage, confiscate everyones guns, create a Canada type health care system, open abortion clinics right in the middle school so parents don’t know their 13 yo is being operated on, stop all logging, oil exploration, nuclear plants, and refinery building, keep social security exactly as it is, seat as many judges as possible that will legislate from the bench so the legislature doesn’t have to, insure that all illegal immigrants have drivers licenses, social security cards, national health care cards, and teachers that are able to speak their language, welfare will be expanded and simplified, and nobody, ever will be allowed to utter, write or portray anything anywhere that may offend anyone anywhere on the planet and neighbouring planets and/or solar systems, though Christianity must, of course, be outlawed.
My God! The republicans are doomed, we can’t compete with utopia!
Hmmm.
The technique the Democrats will employ is the same exact one they employed in the 1990’s:
Pay people off to not make public waves and then enlist the MSM to hide as much as possible.
That’s what Clinton did with North Korea. He paid them off with what they wanted, and let them do whatever they wanted, as long as it wasn’t done in public where it could embarass Clinton. Which is why Turgid Purple Bouffant Master Kim Jong Il didn’t go public with his nuclear threats until after Clinton was out.
So the Democrats will use the same exact ploy the next chance they get. So what would the other actors get?
Iran wants unfettered influence in Iraq, a nuclear weapon and the right to unilaterally harass Israel.
China wants high technology transfers with Europe as the cut-out.
North Korea wants not just a resumption of aid payments along with free fuel, food and consumer products but even more aid, fuel, food and consumer products. And hair gel.
Hamas wants a resumption of aid and acknowledgement as the legitimate government of Arab Palestine. They also want pressure put on Israel to not respond to any “minor infractions” of the insubstantial “peace” between Arab Palestine and Israel.
And AQ/Taliban? An acknowledgement of their issues, reduced or abandoned support for Afghanistan under guise of the War on Drugs, since Afghanistan is producing heroin now.
etc etc etc.
This way America will be lulled into thinking all is well when things are really going to hell.
sorry—forgot to compliment you on not offending infinitives this time. My bad.
I’m not sure that I fall into the “you people” category, but if you must place me in a category, who am I to stop you?
I’ve checked off all that your Commander in Chief has done to protect us. Much of what you listed cannot truly be put into that column as of this date. Iraq? Could still turn out to be the rabid rat that bites our collective asses. NSA wiretaps? It’s still not clear that it is legal. I’ll wait for SCOTUS to determine that. The detention issue is a time bomb—I’d rather not have to bear the brunt of the reaction to that. (I’d rather not have me and mine nor YOURS have to face that either).
So where does that leave us? Many things left undone.
If you are happy with that situation, good for you. Why classify all who are not in a category of “you people” and not instead in a class of concerned and hoping for an alternative?
Your response was *actually* quite weak. Then again, you are a busy man
Well, if you are an American citizen, then he is your CIC as well. You don’t have to agree with the policy, and you don’t have to like the man, but you must admit that the system has served us well so far, so no one gets to set themselves outside the pack. We live and die together, even when we can barely stand to be in the same room.
I’m sure all of these things could have been averted without NSA taps or detaining people.
Oh, and actus, as always–you’re an idiot.
No, this time actus is right: Clinton was good at that stuff. “That stuff” being making pretty, feel-good pronouncements carefully focus-grouped to make everyone feel all warm and fuzzy while not actually saying anything of substance for which he might be held responsible.
You see Laura, the mean ole’ Bushies used those awful, demeaning, privacy stealing tactics to force those poor people to say that.
Of course, once the Dems are in the house, they will just invite them in to share some cookies and everything will be just swell.
Not to interrupt the deservedly humorous tone of this thread, but will there be a problem simultaneously paying for fixing all this international shit, granting free health care (Kerry promised it, I saw him) and balancing the budget?
Oh.
As you were.
6Gun, don’t be silly. They’ll have the money to balance the budget because they’ll get the rich to pay the taxes, as opposed to the hard working americans.
incontrolados,
It seems like you’re trying to make some kind of a point in your posts, but I don’t quite understand you. Are you saying that except for everything the President has done, he’s done nothing, and that is the same as Dean not offering anything but “plans”?
That’s called being presidemential. Having that affair with words.
Had one of those in the Buckley thread today, actuse. Missed you.
When I see the children now, I am fully aware only half will have the ability to think critically. A significant portion with only the slightest degree of sophistication. Then I remember we have video games and I realize we are saved.
Neville Chamberlain made the British people feel warm and fuzzy, Winston Churchill scared the hell out of them. Oh for the opium days of Bill “Neville” Clinton and a pox on that Geirge “Winston” Bush.
I’m pretty sure the plan involves Christopher Reeves rising from the dead, walking over to Iran and convincing them to give up their nuclear program.
By billy jingo, “See here, Chinky Chinaman, Uncle Sam will not be trifled with!”* The Chinese will darn sure help us with the North Koreans and then give up their port ownership, because if they don’t we’ll… we’ll… we’ll make speeches at them some more!

It is sadly true that Superman is dead, but never forget that the Greatest American Hero is still kicking. Pink Pajamas will save the world.
Hmmm.
Isn’t it rather amusing that all of the things that liberals object to, such as rendition and warrantless wiretaps and such, were done during the Clinton years too.
No doubt when it comes out that such techniques were in fact successful in protecting America liberals will then start shouting that they were the progenitors of such tactics.
That induced a Connie Selleca flashback.
And for that, Defense Guy, I thank you.
Sure hope there are oodles and oodles of rich folk. Guess it won’t matter much though. All the Dems have to do is keep us all happy in pie up until we surrender. That shouldn’t take long.
Of course there’s oodles if rich people. Do you have any idea how many people make over 40k in America?
Yeah right!
Just like Jimmah, the Dhimmah, Carter delivered our embassy employees to the criminal hands of Ayotollah Ruhollah “shit head” Khomeni.
Since when do the Dhimmocrats claim that they have a better hold on American security than the Republicans. Ladies and gentlemen, who erected the Washington equivalent to the Berlin Wall in the late 1990’s? Why is it that my so-called representative in congress (Adam Schiff) can’t indentify those behind the notorious “Jamie Gorelick” wall so well placed by our past draft-dodging president William Jefferson Clinton?
Think they’ll “get it” once we’re all wearing burqas?
I had a dream two nights ago.
I was reassuring someone that the outcome of a single presidential election in a two-party system was neither doom nor salvation, and not to fret about it.
I felt really good when I woke up.
Then I realized I had had a dream about politics.
Ah, yes! Let’s trade Republican PR ineptitude for Democratic spineless, appeasment and incompetence. We sure will feel good as they smile sweetly, tell us how much better they are doing things while bending the country over the railing and driving it into the closet! I would really worry about the future if I didn’t have Howard Dean to remind me how absolutely batshit crazy and suicidal the alternative is.
You might want to read this. Rather fitting to this thread.

By one poseur about another poseur.
Clinton was a horrid president. His response to North Korea’s nuclear program—send them a reactor! His response to al’Qaeda—bomb empty camps!
Clinton’s “bridge to the 21st century” ended on 9/11/2001.
so- just to be clear, the Democratic Party is now officially anti-globalization? I mean yeah, it started with Kerry’s anti-outsourcing stuff…but now it’s for full on economic disconnectedness?
1- someone might want to remind the good doctor how well isolationism worked for America and the world last time around
2- Someone might also want to point out that having policies that would appeal to Pat Buchanan doesn’t make you inclusive…
Whatever happened to Kerry’s secret plan for Iraq? Shouldn’t Actusoids be demanding that it be finally revealed so that we may all benefit from his geopolitical wisdom (gained by his secret incursion into Cambodia and his behind the scenes treason during the Paris peace talks)?
Hey, I’m all for isolationism once we throw the last goddamn Democrat into the Carribean and give him directions to Cuba. After that, I’ll gladly assent to locking down Fortress America.
Oh, and nuke Canada, just for their frickin’ attitude.
If I was running a campaign with any kind of national prominence in either 2006 or 2008, I’d simply take video clips of Dean, Pelosi, Byrd, Boxer, Kerry and Kennedy on defense (and basically any other issue), run the clips back to back, no music, no fanfare and at the end, throw up the line “Do you really want these unserious people running your country? Vote Republican”.
Big Bang Hunter  to paraphrase Hillary: “some of you have too much liberty so we’re going to take some of it and give it to people who can use it better…”
Hmmm.
Bad “Chairman e”! No we do not want to nuke Canada, no matter how deliciously enjoyable it would be.
We want to steal Canada, annex it and convert it into a half-dozen new states. Why?
So the Democrats won’t have any place to run to.
Just think, if Clinton had stuck to having affairs with words, Al Gore would probably be president.
Howard Dean’s 4-Point Plan For Winning The Hazzard County Fair Hot Dog Eating Contest
1. Practice his intake technique on an anatomically correct mandoll with thick, black-framed glasses who goes by the name of “Hairy Gary”.
2. Sneak into Boss Hog’s office and press the “stomach staple my opponents” button. You know, the one next to the “random railroad crossing guard lowering button” that just sooooo infuriates the Dukes.
3. Set Daisy Duke up in a Kisses (and More!) Booth about, oh, 30 minutes before the contest.
4. Enjoy those de-lish Ballpark franks and sashay out of Rubeville with a pretty blue ribbon and the first prize of two cases of PBR.
In the parlance of the electorally-based community: “Mission accomplished.”

“I know that as president there’s huge leverage that will be available to me, enormous cards to play, and I’m not going to play them in public. I’m not going to play them before I’m president.”
He never said “secret plan.” But he did say, effectively, “I’m not telling you.”
What is the difference, exactly?
From what I understand, we spend more on health care than countries with universal care. So the money’s already there. I’ve even heard that we spend more taxpayer money on medical care than places with universal care, but I don’t have the cite handy.
Of course, billions magically appear with just a little tax cut voodoo.
What is the difference, exactly?
But either way, John Forbes Kerry was a highly decorated officer and magic hat transporter whose gun-running and medal-tossing exploits are the stuff of legend. That and his finely-tuned gold-digging instincts make him, still to this day, the right man to implement a secret plan for success in Iraq.
Impeach Bush!
Regards,
General Howard “Four Point” Dean
That sort of thing helps the terrorists. Why do you hate america?
Of course, billions magically appear with just a little tax cut voodoo.
Indeed, federal income tax receipts over the last two years illustrate the wisdom of your observation.
Sho-nuf, actuse, and I don’t have my cites that socialized medicine is a failure so I guess we’re at a standoff.*
Good thing. The debt needs attention and Howard’s not returning calls from The Four-Point Jaunt Across America/Bridge to the 21st Dependency.
That sort of thing helps the terrorists. Why do you hate america?
Are you saying that a plan to hunt down terrorism at its source, publicly proclaimed, helps the terrorists? I wonder if Incurious George would be interested in the supporting rationale behind that argument?
Don’t call Pickle-Boy “you”, actuse. It’s disrespectful and the man would have had some real senstive national security issues to deal with. Windfarms off Nantucket and such. Setting up the Border, Views and Protection Interior Department. (B-VAPID.)
Because it’s for our protection.

Is it just me, or is actus being a bigger ass than normal?
Honestly, I didn’t think it was even possible, but I think he managed to pull it off.
So if we provide more coverage it will cost us less? There is a dude in Nigeria keeps emailing me, actus, I think you should give him a listen.
Actus has progressed from honest troll to petulant dumbfuck. Sadly, this kind of attention will not help.
