See Does Wi-Fi Violate the ADA?

I'm dubious that this is a violation of the ADA. If the plaintiffs feel the effects of Wi-Fi signals even inside their specially protected homes, it's hard to see how the city (which has got to be an awfully minor contributor to the aggregate Wi-Fi signals within its boundaries) could reasonably modify its policies and practices to avoid the problems these plaintiffs are facing.

USAToday, Allergic to WiFi? Group fights Internet hotspots in Santa Fe,

[t]he World Health Organization says there's little to suggest that electromagnetic fields are responsible for the "range of non-specific symptoms" that such sufferers have described.

"A number of studies have been conducted where [electromagnetic hypersensitivity] individuals were exposed to [electromagnetic fields] similar to those that they attributed to the cause of their symptoms. The aim was to elicit symptoms under controlled laboratory conditions," the organization says. "The majority of studies indicate that EHS individuals cannot detect EMF exposure any more accurately than non-EHS individuals. Well controlled and conducted double-blind studies have shown that symptoms were not correlated with EMF exposure."

The World Health Organization reports on This reputed sensitivity to EMF has been generally termed “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” or EHS,

A number of studies have been conducted where EHS individuals were exposed to EMF similar to those that they attributed to the cause of their symptoms. The aim was to elicit symptoms under controlled laboratory conditions.

The majority of studies indicate that EHS individuals cannot detect EMF exposure any more accurately than non-EHS individuals. Well controlled and conducted double-blind studies have shown that symptoms were not correlated with EMF exposure.

It has been suggested that symptoms experienced by some EHS individuals might arise from environmental factors unrelated to EMF. Examples may include “flicker” from fluorescent lights, glare and other visual problems with VDUs, and poor ergonomic design of computer workstations. Other factors that may play a role include poor indoor air quality or stress in the workplace or living environment.

There are also some indications that these symptoms may be due to pre-existing psychiatric conditions as well as stress reactions as a result of worrying about EMF health effects, rather than the EMF exposure itself.

Your Business Blogger(R) just received an email from Alert Reader Janice who tells us about Hillary's presence at the State Street United Methodist Church in Bowling Green, KY,

I just received an email letting me know that, yes indeed, the Paul Fryman who was our former student at Asbury was the pastor who preached at State Street UMC in Bowling Green, KY this past Sunday when Hillary was there. He has been the subject of abuse because his sermon was on adultery. He has received hate mail and all sorts of attacks – including accusations of being a pedophile and needing therapy, etc. He has chosen (wisely) not to react or respond at all. Paul is a humble, guileless servant of Christ.

The service and Paul have been distorted unbelievably.

Here are some facts, in case someone asks you:

· Hillary's people called Paul and told him she would be in his church, it was not a request.

· He told her people that they were in a series of sermons and that the morning sermon would be on adultery from the Sermon on The Mount, making sure she knew what she would hear, the bulletins were already printed.

· Paul’s sermon was 12 minutes (not the hour-long that was in the press – that was the length of the whole service)

· Paul acknowledged the presidential candidate’s presence in the service (some reports said that she was ignored and unwelcomed).

· Reporters sat in the service with their laptops – did not participate in the service respectfully.

· His sermon will be put online as soon as possible so that people can judge for themselves. [he called for members of the congregation to make a new commitment to their own marriages and to be aware of the temptations that they face – it was not an attack against Hillary

Read where CNN gets it wrong. This is not news.

But what is news is that CNN can't spell. Nancy writes into CNN,

May 18th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Just a note - please check the spelling on the word "alter," which I belive [sic] should be "altar". Or at least that's how it's spelled at my church. See, all democrats are not Godless heathens.

Nancy must be pro-life...

America's Secular Challenge
Stacey Herb London Your Business Blogger(R) and Charmaine and The Dude had dinner last night with Herb London and Grover Norquist, Board Members of The Harbour League.

Dr. Herb London (yes, the dad of Stacey London) (no, she wasn't there) states that John McCain can win California. I ask him why.

"Obama can't get the Hispanic vote in California and McCain can," says London, who runs the Hudson Institute.

London believes that McCain is going to win big because there are still enough good Americans "in the heartland who share McCain's values." McCain holds for "American Exceptionalism" -- as so do most Americans, London says.

London, a Professor Emeritus at NYU and author of 21 books, says that he was once asked to write an essay on the most significant event of the last 1,000 years.

He wrote that the most significant event was not the internet or some war or penicillin or the creation of nation states.

It was the creation of America -- with our creed that states that the "citizens' rights are endowed by their Creator," unlike other 'democracies' in the world.

Pro-Life McCain will win because he loves America and loves life and the voters believe him. Barack X. Obama may love America but most voters don't believe him. And liberals don't care if he loves America or not...

McCain believes that America is exceptional. And he has the scars to prove it.

Thank you (foot)notes:

See How Voting for McCain is Like Getting a Root Canal.

The Harbour League is the 'go to' conservative organization in Maryland. Go visit.

Even though Stacey London, from What Not To Wear on The Learning Chanel, didn't attend, her mom was also at The Harbour League. She is a class act. The London's are great Americans. Buy their books.

Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform; hosts a weekly Wednesday meeting in Your Nation's Capital for conservative thinkers. It is invitation only.

The women of Saturday Night Live are not the only ones with the hots for Obama. He's got the looks, the laid-back cool. The calm, the voice. Obama.

Obaby.

And many women share SNL's female's affections. Deep, deep affection. Be sure to watch the video clip with the moaning and groaning -- the near ecstasy. O-O-Obama. Oh my.

Watch the women, watch out for the big "O's." If-you-know-what-I-mean-and-I-think-you-do.

Obasm.

O. Obama. Oh, brother.

Full Disclosure: Charmaine served as senior advisor to the Mike Huckabee for President campaign. She knows better than to make light of any candidate's name. But not Your Business Blogger(R).

The Nineteenth Amendment gave women the right to vote in 1920 in national elections. There was much resistance to women's suffrage because clear thinking men at the time knew that women would soon be a-swooning over an empty suit -- no matter how well filled out.

This is a well established fact. Just ask any group of clear thinking men dining at Hooters.

The Simpsons Movie
by Matt Groening

Your Business Blogger had an extra 100 dollar bill to burn and decided to see a movie.

So Charmaine and I packed up the Penta-Posse and another boy from The Dude's baseball team to binge on buttered popcorn sprinkled with gold dust.

(A theater's loss leader -- movies are just a front:

The real money is in the concessions...)

The Simpsons Movie...

Here's your Hollywood script checklist:

Profanity -- Check > Even Marge lets loose with a God D@mm!t

Bestiality -- Check > Homer wants to kiss his pig "to break the tension." Pig gender not revealed.

Nudity -- Check > Bart (anagram of brat) exposes p*n!s.

Homosexual activity -- Check > Brokeback moment when two cops embrace, kiss, fall to ground...

Suicide -- Check > Unable to deal with frustration, a character blows brains out with hand gun. (OK... so it was a robot.)

Blasphemy -- Check > Homer thumbs through Bible, declares that "This Book has no answers!"

Biased -- Check > Non-subtle product-placement-endorsement Hillary 08 sign.

Cliched -- Check > Big business is evil. And profit motivated.

Liberal -- Check > Patriot Act has entire government listening in to your pizza order.

This is America as Hollywood sees it.

Thank you (foot)notes:

Stephen Hunter, reviewer for The Washington Post, loves The Simpsons Move, as the Alert Reader would guess,

The genius is in the writing and in keeping all gambits created by the individual writers in sync, so the piece has a tonal consistency and a narrative flow. A lost art in Hollywood? It's really one of the best movies of the year.

The Simpsons Movie PG-13, 87 minutes Contains adult material. In theaters.

Matt Groening of MATT GROENING PRODUCTIONS/PRODUCER of BEVERLY HILLS, California has donated the maximum to liberal democrat Barbara Boxer.

Surprise.

Hillary Clinton has well known positions on daycare. In this presidential political season, we can see where she'd take the country based on what she influenced the last time a Clinton held the national bully pulpit.

EMPTYING THE NEST: THE CLINTON CHILD CARE AGENDA

I spent eight years in getting the child-care bill passed in Congress,
and at its zenith, there was never a child-care movement in the country.
There was a coalition of child-advocacy groups, and a few large
international unions that put up hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and we created in the mind of the leadership of Congress
that there was a child-care movement -- but there was nobody riding me.
And not one of my colleagues believed that their election turned on it for a moment.
There wasn’t a parents’ movement.

I. THE CHILD CARE “CRISIS”

Daycare DataTo kick off the sixth year, and home stretch, of the Clinton Administration, in January 1998, the President and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, a long-time children’s issues activist, announced an historic initiative: $20 billion in increased federal spending for child care over the next five years. This, they said, would address a silent child care crisis afflicting the nation.

Given the size of this initiative, we might do well to examine the underlying assumptions and common perceptions used to buttress such an expansion of federal involvement in day care. Is there a crisis in America today over child care? If so, is day care the answer?

To answer those questions adequately, the issue must be framed appropriately. Accepted as true is the modern myth that most families have two parents working today and are desperately struggling with day care.

This, it turns out, is not true.

Is there a child care crisis in this country? To answer, we need to know what parents really want, and most essentially, we must know what children need.

We interrupt the coverage of Hillary-the-Wannabe-Astronaut to note with interest that Commander-in-Chief has indeed been cancelled.

From Waco KidPlease weigh in. What does this tell us about Hillary 2008? Pick one.

A) You just don't like strong women! America is not (sob) ready for a woman President!
B) America just lost interest in the Woman President schtick. It's not that big a deal. Green light, Hill.
C) America is ready for a woman President. But not a Collagen Commander. . .

Gallup has just released a poll on how many registered voters would vote for Hillary Clinton and Condi Rice.

From Waco Kid
Bad news for Hill's juggernaut: a solid 51% of voters "definitely" would not vote for her. The graph at the right shows the breakdown by party affiliation.

The numbers for Clinton don't surprise me. What does surprise are the high negatives for Condi Rice: 46% of voters would definitely not vote for her.

If you factor in the margin of error -- +/- 3, then you have nearly a dead heat between these two.

From Waco Kid

Taking a little break from judicial politics to think about presidential politics. . . This is a great graph from (the always classy) Will Franklin at Willisms. Will thinks Hill can't win in 2008.

I hope he's right.

Will argues that her negatives are just too high in the red states. True. Still, I worry about the Celebrity Factor.

From Waco Kid

Feathers McGraw at Penguin Proletariat has a good post up on Hillary's latest Triangulation Tango -- where she tries to say "I supported the war, buuuut I would have done it better." I'm a hawk, but I don't bite.

A lot of coverage of Hillary's speech to the Aspen Institute last week, in which she mocked President Bush, comparing him to the Alfred E. Neuman cartoon character and saying his attitude is "What? Me Worry?"

But in the brouhaha over this allegedly funny remark, an important point has been missed. Frankly, I think the joke was a miscalculation on her part. Let's get this straight: Hillary Clinton is implying that, as President, she would. . . worry more than President Bush?

Hey Hill. Not a good strategic move. I hate to be the one to say it, but. . . worrying is, well, kind of girly.

And speaking of girly! Hillary's reelection (for Senate, natch) website is up at www.HillaryClinton.com. . .and. . .

For only $40, you, too, can own a Hillary t-shirt . . . get this: designed by Marc Jacobs. Kid you not. (Who is Marc Jacobs, you [male readers] ask? From Hillary's site, he is: Creative Director of Louis Vuitton. . . who has "long been admired for his mix of extreme luxury and effortless charm. . . Jacobs is, according to American Vogue, "New York's dauphin of grungy, understated cool.")

Designer campaign t-shirts??! Gotta hand it to her.

I can tell you this: It's very hard to stop people who have no shame about what they're doing.... It is very hard to stop people who have never been acquainted with the truth.

Hillary Clinton, attacking George Bush at a June 6th Democratic fundraiser

According to the American Spectator's Washington Prowler, "Even Democrats were laughing" about this one.
