From previous thread:
Turing acknowledged a sexual relationship with Murray, and they were charged with gross indecency under Section 11 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885. Turing was unrepentant and was convicted. He was given the choice between imprisonment and probation, conditional on him undergoing hormonal treatment designed to reduce libido. In order to avoid going to jail, he accepted the oestrogen hormone injections, which lasted for a year, with side effects including gynecomastia (breast enlargement). His conviction led to a removal of his security clearance and prevented him from continuing consultancy for GCHQ on cryptographic matters. On 8 June 1954, his cleaner found his lifeless body.
I had never known these tragic details of Turing's life, but always admired the facts I had learned about his brilliance in the early development of computers and his work in cryptography. It would seem that that this story, like so many others, bears out the fact that government is visciously pathological by nature, at least in many if not most of its workings. The entire gays in the military thing reeks of the same schizoid paranoiac mass-hysterical mentality. Statistically, several of the people who participated in Turings despicable treatment must themselves have been gay. In light of stories such as these, Giuliani's record of maniacally despotic and dictatorial sociopathic behaviour, combined with his penchant for cross-dressing, does not exactly indicate the mental fitness Americans have a right to expect in any President, and perhaps especially if our government is by nature itself already such a dysfunctional creature to begin with.
Just sayin.

"There is no need to do any housework. After the first 4 years the dirt doesn't get any worse" -- Quentin Crisp
Typically funny Crisp. I had the fortune to meet Mr. Crisp on occasion at various gallery openings and suchlike events in the east village during the halcyon days just prior to its being gentrified beyond all recognition or bearability, at which point I bailed, not being able to any longer afford my bar tabs and the perogis at the Ukranian restaurant Veselka while also paying the exorbitant rent on a broomcloset which at that time I called home sweet home. Crisp was invariably witty, polite and sanguine, and obviously quite the poofster, not in the least bit abashed by it at all. He usually flaunted some chiffon sort of cravat in various tangerine or pale pinkish hues, a broad-brimmed panama, and a well-tailored darkish suit, carried a walking stick, and generally had the air of a diminutive but extremely wizened, amused, and amusing chap. Some people do leave an impression, and the few times I met him he was as decent, thoughtful, interesting and nice a person as one might ever meet in those generally but not always great days, which now of course seem like the golden years in retrospect.
"Fight pits pigeon, hawk lovers
Specialty breed - Members of the Northwest roller club are accused of killing birds of prey, some endangered Saturday, June 09, 2007MICHAEL MILSTEIN
Showing a visitor through the Hillsboro shelters where he raises "roller" pigeons, Ivan Hanchett described how he trapped hawks so they wouldn't bother his precious flock.
He suffocated the hawks in garbage bags, he said, and put them in the trash, noting he had "never seen a hawk that could hold its breath more than three seconds."
Hanchett went on: Oregon aficionados of the roller pigeon -- a special breed flown in competitions -- commonly capture and kill hawks and falcons that attack the smaller birds. A friend in Canby captured 30 hawks in 45 days. ......
The agent described the tour in new federal court documents released Friday that allege Hanchett and other leaders of an Oregon roller pigeon club -- the Northwest Roller Jockeys -- carried out a campaign of destruction against some of the country's most prized and protected birds.
Federal officials said the number of birds of prey killed in Oregon and Washington may number near 1,000, enough to put a serious dent in species such as peregrine falcons that only recently bounced back from near extinction.
"Some of these guys allegedly used weapons and guns with silencers and shot hawks right in their backyard with houses next door," said David Patte, a spokesman for the Fish and Wildlife Service in Portland. "About 95 to 99 percent of the members freely talk about their taking and killing of hawks as a regular part of their hobby."
Unnamed pigeon enthusiasts gleefully wrote in an online forum about the shooting of peregrine falcons that the Audubon Society of Portland had rescued in 2003 from the St. Johns Bridge during construction and released at a wildlife refuge north of Vancouver.
"I laughed and laughed," one person wrote. "All the pain staking measures they took to get these birds to adolescence and than (sic) to have someone take them out was simply bliss!"

SEVEN CALIFORNIA ‘ROLLER PIGEON’ ENTHUSIASTS CHARGED WITH KILLING, OR HELPING TO KILL, PROTECTED HAWKS AND FALCONS
Federal authorities have charged seven Southern California men associated with "roller pigeon" clubs on charges related to the fatal beatings and shootings of federally protected raptors. Six of the defendants were arrested throughout the day yesterday as part of a nationwide investigation - Operation High Roller - that is targeting roller pigeon owners who believe that hawks and falcons, while protected under federal law, should be killed because they attack pigeons, particularly when they suffer seizures in flight and tumble uncontrollably toward the ground.
The seven cases in Southern California, along with charges filed against defendants in Oregon and Texas, are part of a 14-month investigation by special agents with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. In California, a special agent infiltrated several roller pigeon clubs and learned about members' efforts to trap and kill raptors, specifically Cooper's hawks, red-tailed hawks and Peregrine falcons, according to court documents. Investigators estimate that leaders and members of the National Birmingham Roller Club (NBRC) and other enthusiast organizations in the Los Angeles metropolitan area are responsible for killing 1,000 to 2,000 raptors annually.

Like I say, if they had any respect for birds, they couldn't have done such a horrible thing - killing raptors for being raptors. shitheads.
It's sad that folks take joy in killing hawks and falcons. But if I were, say, raising shih tzus, and a neighber's pit bulls were killing them, I'd probably want them dead.

If you were raising lettuce would you go over to your neighbour's house and kill his rabbits?
I guess these pigeon racers are on the same level as cock fighters. they don't care about the birds at all.

You might, but would you brag about beating and smothering them?

ct: no, it doesn't, now that i think of it more. A pit bull owner is obligated to control his animals. Raptors raised to return to the wild, and living in it, are quite their own selves.

Near where I live, the Navy wants to expand a fighter training area, which would mean killing a shload of native aviary animals. You might think that the locals would be gung ho about it, but they are opposing the Navy tooth and nail, and it is causing the military not a small amount of discomfort.

"Three Oregon Cases Are Part of a Nationwide Effort to Stop the Illegal Killing of Hawks, Peregrine Falcons, and Other Birds of Prey
Federal authorities have charged three Oregon men with unlawfully attempting to take, capture, and kill red-tailed and Cooper's hawks, and/or peregrine falcons, in violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The defendants, all leaders of 'roller pigeon' clubs, were arraigned in the Portland, Oregon, United States District Court on June 8. The charges are part of a larger investigation across the United States 'Operation High Roller' that targets roller pigeon owners who kill hawks and falcons, despite their protected status under federal law "

We have several pairs of peregrines in Seattle. One of them nests on a bridge I drive on to get to work. I see them quite often, and feel pretty protective of them, in addition to the many red-tailed hawks whose territories I drive through on the way to and from work (I'm so bad, I've actually named them).

Cock fighters? What about human cock fighting?
There's at least one redtail in my neighborhood who has learned to skim along the street about 3 - 4 feet off the ground. I came around the corner of the block one day and found myself driving along right behind him - he darted right, picked up something, then went back to flying down the middle of the street, veered off to the left, and set down in a neighbor's yard to devour the rat he had caught.
It does make me worry for the cat, though.

It was nice to see a family of falcons, I think they were, or perhaps eagles, which took up roosting in order to raise their young on the ledge of a skyscraper one week in Manhattan, quite some time ago already, perhaps a dozen or so. The papers ran several front pages about them, and much of the city seemed to slow down a bit. Even the hard-bitten tabloids softened and carried doting 2-pagers with close-up photos of the avian family with detailed reports of how the father would fly back from central park with nesting materials. The fledgeling birds, unable to fly and relying on their parents for sustenance high above the town seemed to humanize our city for a while, and that is never a bad thing.

We occasionally have egrets, which are royalty, IMO, and they act accordingly. But aside from the usual drakes and gulls, we often see ospreys, which at a distance, look quite like bald eagles. They are huge birds.

Not a bad summary of what Rorty accomplished:
Richard Rorty, the leading American philosopher and heir to the pragmatist tradition, passed away on Friday, June 8.... His work redefined knowledge 'as a matter of conversation and of social practice, rather than as an attempt to mirror nature' and thus redefined philosophy itself as an unending, democratically disciplined, social and cultural activity of inquiry, reflection, and exchange, rather than an activity governed and validated by the concept of objective, extramental truth."

O there was a redtailed hawk in my leafy suburban neighborhood last summer that scared the bejesus out of me one morning. I was backing out of the garage, minding my own business, and this *huge* pair of wings swooped down toward my windshield and back up over the roof of the car. That wingspan was four feet if it was an inch. Holy crap, that was a waker-upper if ever there was one -- and I was glad the cats were inside!

mmmm, don't think so, although perhaps. As I recall it was a family that just suddenly decided to set up housekeeping. Perhaps it was PM though; as I said it was quite a while back. Those stories are by no means unknown in the Apple, but are generally rare and always notable. There is something about the contrast of nature and city, like the roots of a sidewalk tree that might one day break through an edge of the pavement square surrounding it. You look at that, at it makes you think a bit.

I once had a red tail fly into the house through the kitchen sliding doors. The spinoza cat took immediate notice. You could see the thought processes:

2. big bird
3. big treat (cat gets up)
4. maybe too big (cat pauses)
5. uh oh.
The hawk flopped on the kitchen floor, then finally made it out the doors. It pushed back enough air that I could feel its force as it left the house.

Too bad there are no rocs, to take out the pigeon breeders.
Although a nesting pair of harpy eagles could put a dent in their spawn populations.
During winter here, the redtails are fond of sitting in the trees up and down the interstate...I've counted more than a dozen in a 75 mile stretch before. My guess is they're waiting for roadkill.

My office used to be on the river, and while they are not common, I would see on average about once every three months.
So yes, today was lucky, but there was no mistaking it. It actually swooped in front of the bus twice. Segulls and little egrets are not 5 feet long with a 4 foot wingspan -- never mind the legs.

Actually, the like the sides of highways because they can see the rodents in the grass there more easily. Usually the grass is kept trimmed, so the hawks can really get a bead on the mice. Today I was driving towards Seattle from Redmond near the Micro$oft campus, a roadway with a lot of red tails. One crossed in front of me with a mouse in tow. I just saw the tail between the talons.
Cockatoos can get real big, real fast when they feel the need.

Lord, that reminds me of the time I almost set a guy's head on fire in a club. He was sitting in front of us, and I had already been calling him Werewolf of London because he had wolf-man hair and, well, it was perfect. But I think he must have sprayed it, because when he started rocking out in his chair and was rocking back into my space, I lit my lighter and just held it up about even with my knees...he rocked back enough to catch a few hairs on fire and they flared bright enough that everyone sitting behind us saw it. My friends took my lighter away from me after that. Werewolf of London just kept rocking out, unaware that I had almost set his head on fire.
To, with pleasure and thanks, repeat myself:
Your poems, sir, are every one a pisser.
I bow before the Greater Artificer.
When I was young a neighbour rescued an orphaned red-tail baby, raaised it, trained it to hunt, then released it.

They are also interested in road salt. As I am sure you know, salt is rare (worth his weight in salt and all that). The amount we dump on roads attracts all kinds of animals.

From heron out, I will not crane my neck to spy these creatures.

Seagulls. Wow, have they ever gotten in on the act. Used to be they would not come anywhere near you, which is fine as they are beautiful, but up close quite a nuisance and nasty-beaked. One of those bastards marched right up and helped himself to the last bite of my beach sandwich. It was then I realized the late '90s were leading into a time entirely different from the past. My heart still goes out to any that get entangled in plastic or line, whatnot. That's really bad news. Gulls are all in all favorites though; excellent flyers, sort of the chevys of the air. Good functional birds.

Also, the spacing out of the birds has to do with their feeling safe from each other.

No, I don't have her any more. I found her on my stoop in New Orleans, kept her for a few years and brought her with me to the Ozarks, but then my travelling increased, so I sold her to a guy who kept and raised birds.
A very good home for her.

A medical examiner blamed a 17-year-old track star's death on the use of too much muscle cream, the kind used to soothe aching legs after exercise.
Arielle Newman, a cross-country runner at Notre Dame Academy on Staten Island, died after her body absorbed high levels of methyl salicylate, an anti-inflammatory found in sports creams such as Bengay and Icy Hot, the New York City medical examiner said Friday.
The medical examiner's spokeswoman, Ellen Borakove, said the teen used "topical medication to excess." She said it was the first time that her office had reported a death from using a sports cream.

That must have been a ton of cream she slathered on, she must have been highly sensitive, and probably at least somewhat dehydrated and really excersising hard, since salycilic is just asperin. Probably somehow absorbed through all her pores open from running. Probably hot and humid out too. What a way to go. Not good. Although still very weird; perhaps she had some other condition or substances going as well.

AMAZING FANTASY OMNIBUS
http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?c...ZING%20FANTASY&
Across six issues of truly amazing adventures, Lee, Kirby, and Ditko dreamed up a cadre of ten-story tall menaces from Torr to Manoo to the one and only Monsteroso to trash unwitting Earthlings on a month-in and month-out basis. Backed up by weird tales of wax museums, witchcraft, Martians, and the occult master who set the trenchcoat trend in comics, Dr. Druid, it seemed these titanic tales could never be topped.
And then Stan Lee and Steve Ditko did just that by launching “The Magazine That Respects Your Intelligence!” An all-new approach for the young comics sophisticate, Amazing Adult Fantasy presented Twilight Zone-tinged tales of otherworldly aliens, time travel, ghosts, atomic nightmares, and maybe even the secret of the universe itself. With story after lushly-illustrated story, Ditko set a new standard for comic book illustration, and Lee raised the bar ever higher with his scintillating scripts. And, oh, in the last issue they created some guy named “Spider-Man.”
Collecting this lynchpin series of Marvel Comics’ history for the first time ever, the Amazing Fantasy Omnibus puts AMAZING ADVENTURES #1-6, AMAZING ADULT FANTASY #7-14 and AMAZING FANTASY #15 between two hardcovers 45 years in the making.

EE Cummings. Good Poetry. Robert Frost too. Let's see. All of Shakespeares plays read like poetry, to me anyway. Some of Gertrude Steins work is fascinating. Some ancient stuff is beautiful, like digging up rare relics. A few of Sapphos works seem like they are being read in the next room, their feel is so contemporary. Not a poetry expert, but a fan.

JACKSON — The state of Mississippi must have a party registration system and voter identification law in place for the 2008 elections, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge W. Allen Pepper said political parties have a right to stop non-party members from voting in their primary elections. He said party registration and voter ID would do that.
Pepper ruled late Friday in a lawsuit filed in 2006 by plaintiffs wanting to stop non-Democrats from voting in Democratic primary elections. The Mississippi Republican Party was not involved in the lawsuit, but Pepper said his decision applies to all party primaries in the state.
,,,
Pepper said voters must re-register and carry a party registration party and a photo ID to the polls in primary elections. Pepper said voters not wanting to register by party can designate themselves as unaffiliated, or independents.
...
Opponents say there’s no proof that people have been masquerading as others at the polls. They also say that requiring ID could intimidate older black Mississippians, who for decades faced poll taxes and other Jim Crow laws that kept them from voting.

Ahh...what about like doctors just doing their job normally in normal places like clinics and hospitals? Why does some new format always have to be propagated daily in order to dilute systems that should simply be restored and revamped to work correctly to begin with? How about just using common sense to get existing systems back to functioning and doing more with less bloat, instead of issuing ever-less effective "new" things?

Yeah, the hospital will write things off but

Most doctors are in fact pricks and refuse to write anything off until they have first destroyed your credit.
Their 'collection' attitude also prevents necessary and immediate follow up care because the person simply can't afford another bill.

One thing could explain it. Broder could be a senile old douchebag.
Meanwhile, back on the WaPo Front Page, Thomas Ricks explains that We Ain't Goin' Anywhere
The immediate all-or-nothing debate in Washington over troop levels represents a false dilemma, some military officials said. Even if a total pullout is the goal, it could take a year to execute a full withdrawal. One official estimated that with only one major route from the country -- through southern Iraq to Kuwait -- it would take at least 3,000 large convoys some 10 months to remove U.S. military gear and personnel alone, not including the several thousand combat vehicles that would be needed to protect such an operation.
"We're not going to go from where we're at now to zero overnight," said Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the U.S. commander for day-to-day operations in Iraq.
U.S. officials also calculate that underneath the anti-American rhetoric, even Shiite radicals such as cleric Moqtada al-Sadr don't really want to see a total U.S. pullout, especially while they feel threatened by Sunni insurgents. Also, officials think any Iraqi government will prefer to keep a small U.S. combat force to deter foreign intervention.
Such a long-term presence would have four major components. The centerpiece would be a reinforced mechanized infantry division of around 20,000 soldiers assigned to guarantee the security of the Iraqi government and to assist Iraqi forces or their U.S. advisers if they get into fights they can't handle.
Second, a training and advisory force of close to 10,000 troops would work with Iraqi military and police units. "I think it would be very helpful to have a force here for a period of time to continue to help the Iraqis train and continue to build their capabilities," Odierno said.
In addition, officials envision a small but significant Special Operations unit focused on fighting the Sunni insurgent group al-Qaeda in Iraq. "I think you'll retain a very robust counterterror capability in this country for a long, long time," a Pentagon official in Iraq said.
Finally, the headquarters and logistical elements to command and supply such a force would total more than 10,000 troops, plus some civilian contractors.
The thinking behind this "post-occupation" force, as one official called it, echoes the core conclusion of a Joint Chiefs of Staff planning group that last fall secretly considered three possible courses in Iraq, which it categorized as "go big," "go home" and "go long." The group's recommendation to reshape the U.S. presence in order to "go long" -- to remain in Iraq for years with a smaller force -- appears to carry weight in Baghdad, where some of the colonels who led that planning group have been working for Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq since February.
Finally, the bizarre conclusion to Broder's column:
Nonetheless, on the fundamental point, Walton and Fitzgerald have it right. Libby let his loyalty to his boss and to the administration cloud his judgment -- and perhaps his memory -- in denying that he was part of the effort to discredit the Wilson pair. Lying to a grand jury is serious business, especially when it is done by a person occupying a high government position where the public trust is at stake.I guess this is Broder being "bipartisan" again... "Wow, you're both right." I'm not clear on how he feels about pardons for Libby (or Hilton).
Knowing Judge Walton a bit, I was certain that he would never be party to allowing a big shot to get off more easily than any of the two-bit bad guys who used to show up in his courtroom for sentencing. When he goes to his next school session, he wants to be able to tell those young people that no one is above the law -- and mean it. You see, Walton is not just in the business of enforcing the law. He is also committed to steering youths in the right direction. This case will help.

And from an AP article today
Al-Sadr himself resurfaced in late May for the first time in nearly four months, ending what U.S. officials have said was his voluntary exile in neighboring Iran, apparently to avoid arrest.
His public comments , in a Friday sermon May 25 and a television interview last week , have since been heavily anti-American, calling for the withdrawal of all foreign troops from Iraq and blaming the Americans for all of Iraq's woes.

Wikipedia-
Machaca is a term used in the Amazon region for the lantern fly Fulgora lanternaria. It is as long as 3 inches, has a protuberance at its head that resembles that of a lizard or a serpent, and which was falsely believed to be luminescent. It protects itself by displaying fake eyes on its wings, with its bitter taste to predators, and perhaps with its quite unique head.
Machaca from El Charro Cafe de Tucson
Ingredients
3 Qts. water
4-6 Lb. roast (eye of round, brisket or chuck) cut into several chunks
(3" cubes or so)
Juice of 2 Limes
3/4 C. pureed Garlic
1/3 C. Olive oil
1 C. chopped green chilies (roasted) 1/2 tsp. Salt (to taste)
1/2 tsp. black pepper (to taste)
1/2 Lg. sweet onion, diced
2 Tomatoes (chopped)
Methods/steps
In an 8 qt. stock pot bring the water to a boil, add the Meat & 1/4 C. Garlic & bring back to the boil then reduce the heat to a simmer for about 2 Hrs. or until Meat is tender. Remove the Meat & set aside until cool enough to handle with the fingers. By hand, shred the Meat into 1/2 inch wide strips going with the grain.
Combine the Lime juice with 1/4 C. Garlic. Spread the shredded Meat evenly over a large pre-sprayed (with Pam) cookie sheet & sprinkle evenly
with the Lime/Garlic mixture. Place into a pre-heated 325 F. oven & roast until brown and as DRY as you like it. Skim & save the broth for possible use later.
NOTE: At this point you may allow the Meat to cool while further prep is done or you may pkg. & freeze for use later. In a very large heavy skillet, sauté the Chiles in the Oil with the Salt & Pepper. Add the Onion & Tomatoes & sauté briefly, adding the remaining Garlic just before adding the Meat. Heat the Meat thoroughly adjusting the consistency with the left over broth. If to moist, allow
to evaporate while heating in uncovered skillet.

::: At first sight Mr Gazit could be a classic military hawk. A tough, unsentimental man with 37 years in the Israeli Defence Forces behind him, he has never been slow in condemning Palestinian attacks on Israeli civilians. Yet he enjoys the unique distinction of having, from the heart of the Israeli military, proposed in writing a Palestinian state exactly 40 years ago yesterday - 24 hours before the war had even ended.
And he has never been more convinced than now that such a state, its negotiated borders based on those that preceded the war, and involving withdrawal from most of the West Bank Jewish settlements, remains the only answer to the conflict.:::

Rors, I've missed you late at night, but I'm sorry you haven't slept this night.
Huge banners proclaimed "Proud to be Partners," and billboards read "President Bush in Albania Making History." Red-white-and-blue paper top hats with stars on top were passed out to well-wishers in this Balkan nation. Albania has such an affinity for America that it issued three postage stamps with Bush's picture and the statue of liberty.
Bush said he wants to encourage Albania's free society, but it also makes good political sense on the world stage for him to stop in Albania, if only for about seven hours, and be seen receiving a robust greeting in the predominantly Muslim country.
"I want to make sure the Albanian people understand that America knows that you exist and that you're making difficult choices to cement your free society," Bush said in a pre-trip interview. "I'm coming as a lover of liberty to a land where people are realizing the benefits of liberty."
I thought Bush and the Republicans didn't want Clinton to get involved in the Balkans?
Happy Father's Day?

Thanks guys - as a local friend noted, "What have you got to lose?"

I've been taking time away from here for sanity (and putting things together for my cool new job in the fall).
And, no worries. I can sleep through the day if I feel the desire.
Plantsman, that's what families are for. And while we don't like those phone calls, parents are used to them.
rors, what job did you get in the fall?
In this climate, the transit into summer is typically halting and fits-and-starts; maddeningly so. At the time of year when heating normally can be stopped and power bills go down a bit, this year we have a 14% rate increase and cool weather!
What the hell is the computer doing on at this time of the day?

I got a teaching gig at UW-Oshkosh. Three sections of writing in the fall, and then one of writing and one of literature in the spring.
Very cool.
ql, thanks; I know - but I have this perfect sister who's incredibly successful who also wants to dictate how dad relates to me, and she has inherited malign and evil intent from family members.

Indeed. I'm essentially riding Miriam's coattails on this one (though they wouldn't have hired me if I didn't have a solid scholarly record of my own, of course). So it works out very well.

The Rude Pundit today:
For, indeed, if there's one thing Fox "news" host and a man who once mistook a guy in Spongebob suit for a loofah, Bill O'Reilly, loves more than the pungent odor of his own armpits moist with outrage and bluster, it's strippers. One can be sure that, every few months, strippers will somehow make it onto his show. Sure, sure, sometimes it's in a "newsworthy" story like the Duke lacrosse team not raping a stripper, but often it's just an out-of-nowhere interview that makes one pause to ask, "What the fuck does this have to do with, well, fuck, anything?"
Such a moment occurred on last night's episode of the ongoing soap opera The O'Reilly Factor. There was no apparent reason that O'Reilly should interview just graduated University of Nebraska student Jenny Heineman about her senior thesis other than the fact that Heineman wrote about strippers. And she's a stripper. In Omaha. Which sounds sad, except when you realize that she could be a stripper across the river in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
So O'Reilly had Heineman on his show to ask her such scintillating questions as, "What is it that makes it fun for you?" and saying things like, "Come on. Be honest. You like it," which is roughly the same conversation that O'Reilly had with a Des Moines hooker while she was blowing him behind the Cow's Patty bar, with the hooker not able to answer because she was concentrating on putting O'Reilly's tiny, demi-hard wiggle worm in her mouth.
Sheer genius.
In the Guardian today:
"On average, eight children are killed by guns every day in the United States. Gary Younge picked a day at random and investigated each case, for an article published in Saturday's Guardian Weekend magazine. He says shootings are so commonplace that they hardly warrant a mention in the US papers."

God Talk: Escaping the dating game through courtship
...Courtship came on my radar screen through an older and wiser friend of mine. Bill had a strong marriage and his children's marriages were also healthy. He explained the process of courtship which holds marriage as its ultimate goal.
The word courtship has curious origins passed down from the Middle Ages in Europe. Royal families would receive a ship from the fiancée upon her betrothal (pre-engagement).
The ship would be displayed in the courtyard prior to the engagement and wedding ceremony...
Oh, so THAT'S what "courtship" means! Huh.
So I'm sure everybody's aware that there was a mini-mini-Eschacon in NYC last night, in honor of the visiting fourlegsgood, who is (of course) a total doll.
I bring this up because in the immediate wake of the actual Eschacon in '05, many of us -- by which I mean me -- got really annoying, posting about the incredible sublimity of the event and how those of you who weren't there really missed out on the greatest moment of your life.
So far, however, I haven't seen a post about last night.
Good to know we've learned from our mistakes.
Have I mentioned fourlegs is a doll, BTW?

3.58am and it's 77F. Long story in the paper about illegal and unlicensed tapping into the Rio Verde, jeopardising the water run from Prescott thru Chino Valley and south. All to support another zillion identical tacky boxes to accomodate people from lord knows where to move in and complain about it not being like back home. You know, I've lived a lot of different places and I don't ever recall whinging as constantly as the 'newcomers' do to the Valley.

It'd be bad enough if the writer just made shit up. Worse, this nonsense is probably written in some fundie reference book. Conservapedia?
Fourlegsgood is a doll, hmphf! Who's taking care of the kiddies?
The poor girl:
Equipped with new information I began to explain to her my ideas on courtship. My family had to meet her right away, so I took Sharla to my parent's house. She earned their approval! Great; now it was time to meet her side of the family. I amazingly earned their endorsement and our courtship moved forward.
I was not totally satisfied that we were a match. I had a church family whose opinion meant a lot to me and I wanted their blessing to court Sharla. Our church sponsored an annual youth camp and most of the leaders and workers were involved. Sharla agreed to volunteer as a staff worker at the camp and my church leadership got to know her.
She passed inspection with flying colors and we began our courtship! I was in my mid-twenties and ready to settle down, but was cautious as we spent time together.
I was determined not to fall in love with the wrong woman who might keep me from marrying the right one.
After a few months of courting, which involved meeting at public places, going to church sponsored events, and spending lots of time with family, we began to form an attachment. I was convinced that Sharla was the woman for me! I went to her father and asked his permission to marry her. He said yes and I began to plan a proposal. For fun I made it into a kind of scavenger hunt with the first clue taped to the door of Sharla's apartment. She followed the instructions which lead her back to work, to a hotel lobby, and then to a restaurant where her sister was waiting. Each stop along the way offered a gift; a bouquet of flowers, a bottle of Champaign, and an unsigned card. At the restaurant Sharla met her sister who was helping me. This threw her off, but her sister took Sharla to the gazebo in front of Bidwell Mansion where I waited in the twilight just after sundown. As Sharla approached I struck a match and lit a candle.
On bended knee I asked Sharla to marry me and she said, "Yes!""and we kissed passionately. I had a camera set up, ready to flash a photo of the moment.

Conservapedia is the rightwingnut response to Wikepedia, which they think is too secular!
Like everything the wingnuts do, it's batshit crazy, anti-scientific and exalting greed and selfishness, just like the real live Goopers!
On "Senior Ditch Day" many, many moons ago, we 'tubed' from just above the confluence of the Verde and Salt Rivers to several miles below. My desperately fair skin had not been in sun for months - and the sunburn, reflected off the rivers' surface was so bad, the skin peeled from the front of my legs, and I could not walk for a few days.
Moe, that stuff reads like soft porn for fundie teenage girls.
More proof (as if it were needed) that Ann Althouse is fucking insane:
[a post today]
"We are not always in agreement with University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School Professor Ann Althouse, the Internet uber-blogger."
The Cap Times has an editorial...
The idea came from a reader...
They link to my blog, but not to the post, which begins: "John IMs me that question from his bar review class in Ithaca." I don't actually have readers in classes everywhere IMing me. John is my son.
She has a son?
Holy crap. There's a ticking time bomb waiting to go off....
plantsman, I can't even bear to go up to Prescott any more - I don't want to add to the burden.

Let's introduce Althouse's son to Phyllis Schlafly's son and see what develops.
Funny how fundies give science that bored yawn until you start mentioning new weapon systems for killing people.
Then they light up like xmas trees!
I wonder if Atrios remembered to set Wiley/Gizmo....
I used to adore Prescott, and Jerome, and Granite Dells, and Route 89A - I think I'll keep those memories tightly held.
Athenae had a killer post up a few months ago about Malkin's minions sitting in their basements, daydreaming of Malkin being in a tough situation and how they showed up just in the knick of time to rescue her. Sad little people with nothing special in their lives, so they have to make shit up. That's all the fundies are doing. trying to make themselves extraordinary when in reality they are just one more face in the crowd. I guess we all do it to some extent, but they literally have nothing that sets them apart except the conviction that jeebus loves them. As the movement has grown, the fantasies have to get more involved.
The delusions of the wingnuts...
Books could be written.
Somewhere in mid/Northern Arizona was a cinder cone, near perfectly formed, we climbed and explored - pueblos, ancient ones, too.
I always thought that Phyllis Schlafly was demented dingbat.
I didn't realize that dingbat's could reproduce. Who would want to fuck a dingbat?
And of course the answer is: another dingbat, thereby producing dingbat offspring.
Somewhere in mid/Northern Arizona was a cinder cone, near perfectly formed,
It was grand.
In Schlafly's case, gay demented, wingnut offspring!
Not wikipedia, but the whole "ship" thing is out there in fundie world, to be sure. They're nuts about it, of course:
Last week my friend Lara commented (in a phone conversation) on the recent trend for young couples to say, "We're courting" or even for a young woman to say, "I'm courting so-and-so." Lara -- the only other woman I know whose marriage resulted from an arranged courtship -- did not think this was a correct usage. Courting is active. The woman's role in a courtship is passive. Men court. Women are courted. The man is the subject of the verb. The woman is the object...
But to the extent that this usage indicates an egalitarian interchangeability of roles -- if the young women who say "I am courting..." or "we are courting..." are actually doing what their words suggest -- it would appear to be establishing a very poor precedent with which to enter marriage.
The article discussed the other day about the WH hiring an additional nine lawyers (none from Regent, btw) was quite interesting. Who the fuck is picking up the bill. Haliburton, or us?

Not in *conservapedia*...
they literally have nothing that sets them apart except the conviction that jeebus loves them.
Now, I realize that as an atheist I know nothing about it, but I would think that the absolute conviction that Jesus loves me would be enough for my happiness. I guess it doesn't work that way.

While I do agree with you that the plastic shit is everywhere, in its defense I would say that glass and metal have a tendency to sink. Thus, the glass and metal are at the bottom of bodies of water, instead of bobbing around at the top and washing ashore.

Plus, he'll need to buy more golden plates so he can write another Book of Mormon.
Other plastic things, like the soft joined rings that hold 6-packs of beer together, present dangers to deer and all sorts of wildlife.
Smitty, another thing to keep in mind is that marine life gets tangled up in the plastic shit, or eats it and dies. Glass at the bottom of the sea is less of a danger.

Barndog - banned, seriously?
There's a group of academics trying to map the harbour floor-- all the danger sites and such-- but they're getting resistance from the pols, who say that if that knowledge becomes public, the terrorists win, or something like that.
A drinking buddy of mine, 20-year navy guy, says there's a WWI shipwreck near the harbour entrance. For decades, incoming ships dropped their bad/unwanted bombs atop the wreck. There's thousands of them, just at the one spot. And that doesn't even include the hundreds of other spots around the harbour.
It's so bad, when they built the new sewer pipe out into the harbour, they wouldn't allow them to disrupt the floor, lest mustard gas get released. They instead put a metre deep bed of gravel down, then the pip on top of that.
Broder:
"This whole controversy is a sideshow -- engineered partly by the publicity-seeking former ambassador Joseph Wilson and his wife and heightened by the hunger in parts of Washington to "get" Rove for something or other."
That's not writing, it's typing the talking points that have been hammered for, how long, now?
Have I mentioned that fourlegsgood is a doll?
Barndog, formerly banned
Hey! Great to see you!

A metre deep bed of gravel for a sewage outflow pipe is prolly an ok idea anyway.

Nah, sewer pipes can crack, that's okay. In fact, they're designed that way-- with periodic holes all along the length, so that the sewage doesn't come out all at one place.

Fred Thompson is the latest heir to the GOP Southern Strategy. As such, he's the natural recipent of racist and white-supremacist admiration and aspiration for a return to the bad days of the past. He is not so formidable - he is the product of failure and shame.

I've spoken to three people here in the complex and they all hate w and his war with a passion. They could be charter members of Eschaton. The D.C. establishment better start getting a clue or they are toast.
I watched Timmy's interview of Helen Thomas last night. She kept bringing up the current administration and he kept saying, we'll get to it, but let's talk about Nixon, then Reagan, then the mighty Clenis. Finally, he gave her about five minutes to discuss w. What a fucking wanker.
Plastic bags:
Last week, my Spar supermarket had a new plastic bag at the check-out. It reads, in translation:
"I am a bio-bag
I am made from potato starch
I am 100% biodegradable"
BTW, one pays for shopping bags, be they pastic or paper. Motivates people to bring their own.
When you walk into The Apple Store, there's this sterile "Borg Collective" vibe underlaying everything. I try to ignore it.
4:30 to 5AM pdt -- history center on the history channel, we had charles rangel (D-NY) explaining his motivation for reintroducing the draft. Yes, it was at 4am and no one saw it, but it was lucid and worthwhile.
In an ideal world, if I did take a Sunday off, somebody would bring me breakfast.
morning all.
it's too early in the morning to watch powell and be reminded how there's no way in hell we would be in iraq had he not lied.
I try to take string bags, but I can't seem to remember to keep one in the car for when I stop on my way home.
I need to get better at that.
A locally-owned chain sells double-sized woven fused polyethelyne reuseable shopping bags for 99 cents. I bought one, and I'm testing it out.
Have I mentioned that fourlegsgood is a doll?

"100% biodegradable" usually means "under ideal conditions for bio-degradation", which little garbage is disposed under. Still....
The lettuce, arugula, swiss chard, beets and radishes are ready for eating. Everything else will follow soon. I won't be buying salad materials or other veggies until November.
"Have I mentioned that fourlegsgood is a doll?"

I gotta go do things. Later, all.
Powell - I spent 5 days over at the CIA - there was other info that people wanted me to use that was rejected.
ugh - He knew damn well that they were making a case for war on flimsy evidence. How he can show his face in public is beyond me.

All he'd have to do is say the word to get media hearts a-flutter again (he won't, thankfully).

Question:
If Tim Russert and Colin Powell were on fire, which one would you piss on first?
"That's how New Racism in the corporate era works. A few carefully bred turkeys--the local elites of various countries, a community of wealthy immigrants, investment bankers, the occasional Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice, some singers, some writers (like myself)--are given absolution and a pass to Frying Pan Park. The remaining millions lose their jobs, are evicted from their homes, have their water and electricity connections cut, and die of AIDS. Basically they're for the pot."

The fact that they were able to consider him authoritative and honest before Iraq, based on his career as a lickspittle is impressive, but even the Soviet press would have had a hard time following the Liberal Media in still giving this chump credibility and respect.

That's a pretty good one.
I worked with a guy who once told our manager "If I saw you lying in a pool of blood after a curb stomping, I wouldn't take the time to stop and piss on your body." Of course, he was already on the way out to a new job, but believe me, it was an interesting way to end the staff meeting.

Yeah, but what about the last two paragraphs? Judge Walton is ostensibly the subject of this piece...
Nonetheless, on the fundamental point, Walton and Fitzgerald have it right. Libby let his loyalty to his boss and to the administration cloud his judgment -- and perhaps his memory -- in denying that he was part of the effort to discredit the Wilson pair. Lying to a grand jury is serious business, especially when it is done by a person occupying a high government position where the public trust is at stake.This must be an example of teh "bipartisanship."
Knowing Judge Walton a bit, I was certain that he would never be party to allowing a big shot to get off more easily than any of the two-bit bad guys who used to show up in his courtroom for sentencing. When he goes to his next school session, he wants to be able to tell those young people that no one is above the law -- and mean it. You see, Walton is not just in the business of enforcing the law. He is also committed to steering youths in the right direction. This case will help.

From the Rolling Stones
Rudy giuliani is a true American hero, and we know this because he does all the things we expect of heroes these days -- like make $16 million a year, and lobby for Hugo Chávez and Rupert Murdoch, and promote wars without ever having served in the military, and hire a lawyer to call his second wife a "stuck pig," and organize absurd, grandstanding pogroms against minor foreign artists, and generally drift through life being a shameless opportunist with an outsize ego who doesn't even bother to conceal the fact that he's had a hard-on for the presidency since he was in diapers. In the media age, we can't have a hero humble enough to actually be one; what is needed is a tireless scoundrel, a cad willing to pose all day long for photos, who'll accept $100,000 to talk about heroism for an hour, who has the balls to take a $2.7 million advance to write a book about himself called Leadership. That's Rudy Giuliani. Our hero. And a perfect choice to uphold the legacy of George W. Bush.

Did MtP have Hatfield as a guest to promote "Fortunate Son" in 2000 before the election?
And yet books on HRC..
OK, I'll give a little more context for the link.
The pentagon spent millions of dollars trying to develop a bomb that gives people teh gay.
Because they hoped it would make enemy soldiers stop fighting and start kissing on each other.

Well, they've both been out on it, but L.E. wants to look for debris to chew/eat, so he's no longer allowed out there. I'm concerned about whether it's safe, for a while, anyway, since the decking is the chemically-treated water-resistant lumber.

Well according to Thomson, employers should be able to fire gays for being gay, and the rest of them dont really believe gays should be able to serve in teh military. So a natural question would be, "if your party believes these things, why were you living with a gay couple?"

Yes, lets not talk about how if you are Paris, no matter what you do, you dont have to go to jail.
Theoretically the bomb would work in this way. On one hand it would release vast quantities of aphrodisiacs into the air inciting soldiers to make love not war. The second part of the chemical release, and this is the really slick part, would cause the soldiers to turn gay. So when the bomb went off, instead of killing each other: the belief was that they would strip, stop killing, and start drilling each other on the battlefield. A disappointed developer of the bomb, Colonel Bruce Boynkems, told the Doom Brothers, “Look, it would have worked too. Our only problem was that there simply were no aphrodisiacs nor any chemical stimulants to become gay. Other than that it was a really good plan.”

Giuliani is a hero though. He gave information to reporters on 9/11. He didn't run off to Nebraska or read children's book. His personal life is quite irrelevent. He is "America's Mayor". We had a vote remember. He beat out the Mayor of Bozeman, Montana in the runoff.
It's simple: in the Republican Party, one is not allowed to be open and honest about his or her sexuality unless it conforms to the Party's rigid standards. People who fall without those boundaries are allowed to serve in the Party - as long as they LIE about themselves.

Vatican City - US President George W Bush drew gasps at the Vatican on Saturday by referring to Pope Benedict XVI as "sir" instead of the expected "His Holiness", pool reporters said.

The media has actually gone so far toward telling the truth they have now revealed the that Fred Thompson spent 1/3 of his life as a K Street Lobbyist in D.C.

Are you "rich"?
“According to the latest statistics from the U.S. government, to be in the top 1% of U.S. households requires a net worth of $6 million. The minimum income required to be in the top 1% of American tax-filers is $300,000."
But, then again--it's all relative.
"The interviewer asked Bono whether, with his astonishing wealth, the poor he was helping could in any way identify with his lifestyle.
“You have to understand,” Bono replied to the journalist, “that in these people’s eyes there is no difference between you and me.”
“You haven’t seen my salary,” the interviewer responded with a laugh.
“It doesn’t matter,” said Bono. “You have a roof over your head. Three squares a day. Clean drinking water. A doctor who sees you when you’re sick. In the eyes of these people, you have everything.”
Congress has appropriated more than $300 billion for U.S. military operations in Iraq. Simply stated in monetary terms, we are spending $8 billion per month in Iraq with no end in sight. That's $2 billion per week, or $267 million per day, or $11 million per hour.
As of right now, over $438 Billion has been spent, and the U.S. is $9 Trillion dollars in debt, or $56 Trillion if corporate accounting is used to include medicare and social security.
Howerver, the U.S. invests your tax money, although where that return goes is unclear. What is clear is that in 1999 alone, the U.S. made a total of 8.2 Trillion dollars by investing our money, and that this investment of U.S. tax monies has been done year after year for many many years. If some or all of that money is then reinvested each year along with the new tax moies for the year, the total sum should by now be very great indeed, but again, the average American, at least, has never seen any return of that money. Google Walter Burien for more.
“It doesn’t matter,” said Bono. “You have a roof over your head. Three squares a day. Clean drinking water. A doctor who sees you when you’re sick. In the eyes of these people, you have everything.”
That's a nice bit of sophistry, but perhaps he's talking about the U.K. or something. In the U.S. the roofs are generally mortgaged to the hilt, many do not in fact have three squares a day, or the ability to see a doctor, much less get any actually effective medical care. There are all sorts of pictures of Bono hugging bush yadayadaya. Bono is a corrupt corporate "puppet" to put it politely. In this case he happens to be a "music" puppet. In any case he's a sell-out and apologist to and for a system which is sugar-coated in blatant lies like these in order to sustain an illusion which most people can now see through.
For the fatuous Bono, with his "entertainment" earnings, to be lying through his teeth about reality is a bit much. Far more are closer to third-world status in the U.S. than to Bono's bracket.
That mantilla was a shout-out to the insane right wing of American Catholic life, which has entirely too much influence in Washington.
My thoughts exactly.
It's a thread-the-needle job.
Go whole hog -- to a Latin mass someplace in the Outer Boroughs, and stroke the Medjugorje-Blue Army-St. Pius XII crowd, but then the Talibornagains go batshit.
