Volunteers and residents search for victims among the rubble following a deadly car bomb blast at a market in Peshawar, Pakistan on Oct. 28, 2009. A huge car bomb detonated in a crowded street in the Meena Bazaar just hours after U.S. Secretary Hillary Clinton arrived in Pakistan to bolster the two countries' troubled alliance against Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants.

Oh, my God. US to Give $125 Million to Upgrade Pakistan's Power Sector 29 Oct 2009 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, seeking to bolster Islamabad's fight against Islamic extremists US corporaterrorists' profits, initiated a crash U.S. assistance program for Pakistan's power sector aimed at rolling back electricity shortages that threaten to cripple the South Asian nation's economy. Mrs. Clinton, on the first of a three-day diplomatic mission to Pakistan, said that Washington will disburse $125 million to Islamabad for the upgrading of key power stations and transmission lines. U.S. experts [!] are also beginning to work with Pakistani utility companies to reduce power outages and lost revenue caused by outmoded technologies and systemic non-payment by customers, which costs Pakistan hundreds of millions of dollars each year. [Clinton announces $125 million more to be sucked into the Obusha AfPak money pit for... wait for it... *Pakistan's* power sector (that the US bombs in its illegal killer drone attacks). We can't get single-payer health care in the US -- we can't even get a so-called public option -- because the Congressional pharma-wh*res (LieberBush, etc.) tell us it may add to the US deficit. Where are the calls for endless CBO studies on the billions wasted funding contractors, mercenaries, and terrorists benefiting from Obusha's wars? Bay Bridge closed after repair falls apart 28 Oct 2009 (CA) Three pieces of an emergency repair to the Bay Bridge's cantilever section made over Labor Day weekend snapped and crashed onto the upper deck of the span late Tuesday afternoon, striking three vehicles and forcing the indefinite closure of the region's busiest bridge. Caltrans officials ordered the closure of the bridge in both directions shortly after 7 p.m. and said late Tuesday night that it would be closed indefinitely. Too bad the bridge isn't in Pakistan. Then, Blackwater/Xe could blow it up, blame the Taliban, and the US could pay contractors billions to keep rebuilding it. --LRP]

Buzz Pinkham shouts during the motorized competition at the fourth annual Damariscotta Pumpkinfest Regatta, Sunday, Oct. 11, 2009, in Damariscotta, Maine. Pinkham and a friend came up with the idea for a race while looking for something to do with a 700-pound pumpkin they had shown at a county fair. They hollowed it out, attached a motor and launched what has become a wacky race that now attracts more than a thousand people to town.
