“Flashback” Jack Carter (Son of former President Jimmy Carter) Criticizes President Bush
The ASSociated Press has Carter’s Son Aims Barbs at Bush.
Jack Carter, the son of the former president, took aim at the Bush administration Saturday during his first stop on a tour to gauge support for a possible run for U.S. Senate.
Carter, 58, said he would announce in a month whether he’ll challenge Republican Sen. John Ensign, who is seeking a second term in 2006.
Carter said the administration was waging a misguided campaign against terror, and he criticized
President Bush’s call to spend $200 billion rebuilding the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast without a tax increase or major spending cuts.“How can anybody do that and not pay for doing it?” he asked. “To me, that was just irresponsible.
“I think the most significant issue right now is this concept of responsibility in government. It’s not a matter of being conservative or liberal. Government needs to do the job and we’ve gotten away from that aspect.
It sounds to Flap that he is either still using or having a flashback.What a MORON!

Iraqi Constitution Vote Watch: Polls Have Closed And Votes Being Counted
The ASSociated Press has Polls Close for Vote on Iraq Constitution.
Iraq’s deeply divided Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds voted under heavy guard Saturday to decide the fate of a new constitution aimed at establishing democracy after more than two decades of Saddam Hussein’s repressive rule.
In the south, Shiite women in head-to-toe veils and men emerged from the poll stations flashing victory signs with fingers stained with purple ink, apparently responding in mass to the call by their top cleric to support the charter.
But in Sunni areas in Baghdad and several key heavily Sunni provinces, a surprisingly high turnout in some areas seemed to consist largely of Iraqis voting “no” because of fears the new constitution would mean setting in stone the Shiite domination they fear.
The Sunni Arab turnout was a dramatic change from January parliamentary election, which most Sunnis boycotted. Now they were eager to cast ballots.
Whatever the electoral outcome a great day for the Iraqi people.
Update #1
Up to 10 million Iraqis voted in a referendum on Saturday, protected by a vast security screen that deterred all but a few ineffectual insurgent attacks.

Dentistry Today: Fabulous Smiles
Check out this web-based cosmetic dentistry imaging service, Fabulous Smiles.
There are at least sixty-six proportional relationships on the human face that relate to the symmetry of the face and smile. Those ideal relationships, recognized and used by Euclid, Leonardo daVinci and Michelangelo are known as Golden Proportions. When these golden proportions are present the face appears to us as attractive, even beautiful.
The reality is that not everyone has golden proportions. The further each person’s facial proportions are from Golden the more difficult it is to design a smile and teeth that retain a sense of symmetry and harmony in the individual. Fabulous Smiles recognizes that one need not necessarily be “golden†to still be attractive, but that individual’s proportions are consistent within the face and smile.
By evaluating each person’s individual facial proportions and dimensions, it is possible to establish a Personal Aesthetic Ratio or PAR for each face. These measurements can be used to design anterior teeth that bring out the best features and harmony to the individual patient.
Each individual has a tooth shape, tooth size and most importantly the placement of those teeth that would best reflect their own personal proportions. This is the key to designing the best smile for each person. Fabulous Smiles does exactly that; evaluates the face, the proportions and the symmetry of each person and designs a smile that is best for them.
This service with its software is definitely worth a look. There are no large cash outlays for hardware or software and the learning curve is reasonable.

California Special Election Watch: Schwarzenegger Begins GOTV Drive in the OC
The Orange County Register has Get-out-the-vote drive starts in Orange County.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger kicked off his get-out-the-vote efforts for the Nov. 8 special election here Friday, linking the importance of turnout to the fate of his ballot initiatives.
“It’s all about how many people you bring to the polls,” Schwarzenegger told two dozen volunteers at Orange County Republican Party headquarters. “The grass-roots operation is everything.”
This week, as absentee ballots began reaching local mailboxes, Republican volunteers started phoning those homes. More homes will receive pre-recorded calls from Schwarzenegger and other Republican officials. This weekend, hundreds of volunteers plan precinct walks across Orange County, knocking on doors and leafleting the homes of absentee voters.
It is all about turn-out folks.Technorati Tags: Arnold Schwarzenegger, California Recovery Team, California Special Election, Bear Flag League, Proposition 75, Proposition 73, Proposition 74, Proposition 76, Proposition 77
