So, was it Bozell's complaint-mill, or some other pack of God-bothering fuckpigs?
And do we get to do the same if 'The Passion of the Jebus' gets a TV airing? Oh, please...

Very tangential, but from the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" file ("Cloaked Religious Agenda" subfile):
Fox News explaining why it's OK troops have to scrounge for armor: "A situation in common between invading Crusaders and liberating Americans — and let's keep some perspective here on the difference between invading and liberating — is the extent to which armies have always had to forage for what they need either on the way, or once they got to where they are going."

The Olympics are getting close to being an embarrassement to humanity all by their damn selves.
Still, I wish I had known the opening ceremonies were going to be a little more bizarre than the usual crap; maybe I could have made an exception to my avoid-all-Olympic-coverage-like-the-plague policy.

you want truly offensive television, look at every major news station in this country who have been depicting an illegal and lie-based war for the last two years, which has resulted in 100,000 civilian deaths.
why doesn't brent bozell stick that in his pipe and smoke it?

Call to Action - Help Innocent Iraqi Civilians
'Collateral Damage' = human beings. They are caught in the crossfire of our country's actions. If helping them isn't our responsibility, then whose is it? You guys have always been ready and willing to answer worthy calls to activism, and while this has little effect on our own nation's political scene, it's effect on real people is wonderful and highly worthwhile. I encourage everybody to help out if they can.

In the governor's office in the Vermont State House (formerly occupied by Howard Dean) there is a nude statue entitled "The Greek Slave" which was carved in 1843 by a Vermont artist and it became an icon of the abolitionist movement of the time. Now the republican governor who replaced Dean wants the statue removed because it is an embarassment. One of his aides said to a reporter, "It may, frankly, be awkward to explain why there is a nude Greek slave on the governor's desk to a third-grader." The headline in this morning's paper reads, "Governor edgy about nude in his office"

You didn't see it, then. An LGFer with the handle Iron Fist parachuted into one of our threads, accused us of being pansy cowards, and then challenged us to show how compassionate we are by donating to some Iraqi charity we'd never heard of (Spirit Of America, I think? Do you know anything about them?).
Anyway, it turned into a week-long gang war between LGFers & Atriots, and they had great fun telling us what hypocrites they were because they had raised $12,000 and we wouldn't contribute to anything.
But hey, if there's a charity that someone on the left is vouching for, that's a completely different story.

I have to say I missed that one, but I can imagine. Yeah, those guys really rake on my nerves sometimes.. well, most of the time... ok, pretty much all the time. I tried to go over there and register just to see if they would be willing to help out, but they aren't allowing new members right now for some reason. Darn.

Perhaps we could help the fundies along by massively filing absurd 'lewdity' complaints in their names; for instance demanding that 'Leave It To B..v.r' reruns must bleep or dubstitute that nasty word.

Yeah, it's run by an Iraqi blogger named Raed. He's a really great guy, as are the people that help him with his effort. Here's the link to his blog. I highly recommend it for news from Iraq that you won't see on our news (or for that matter, the Euro news).

One more thing about the charity, Raed is very good about posting pictures of receipts, shipments, etc. to let everyone know exactly what you're money is purchasing and exactly where it's going. I like it because you're not donating to some huge organization where your money is going to pay people's salaries and such. Rather, it's going directly to the people who need it in the form of the Medical supplies Raed buys and distributes.

Not a chance. Even the wingnuts enjoy their Desperate Housewives and reality TV too much to give it up. The neo-Puritans are going to overstep eventually and there will be a backlash.

I love it how the Olympic Openiing Ceremonies, showcasing the contribution of Greek humanism and science to Western society, are under attack from fundamentalists 6 fucking months later.
These people really are whackjobs. They'd erase people out of history books, too if they could get their way. Truly amazing.
I barely remember the fucking thing. There must've been a stray nip peeking out of a goddess statue costume of something.
Actually... I bet that's what they're upset about. Didn't they have a bunch of people who were basically nekkid; all powdered down to look like marbles?
The mind of a fundamentalist: more tenacious than a rabid pit bull at a mailman convention.

The theme of the Athens Olympics ceremonies was humanism and Greek history. Religion, Christianity, was on display, very briefly, as an historical occasion.
The closing theme was the unity of mankind, with faces projected on exploded pieces of a suspended statue (a Cycladic face). Science was more prominent than religion.
Baby Jesus did not make an appearance.

Here's how the One Million Moms Campaign works. It is free to join and does not require a large investment of time.
We contact you, via e-mail, with information about a particular target (TV network, sponsor, or station), giving you a link to a "take action" page on the website.
Following instructions on the page, you e-mail the responsible party voicing your concern.
Through a "tell-a-friend" feature on the page you forward the take action information to your friends and family members encouraging them to join the One Million Moms campaign and voice their concerns as well.
Your only commitment is to send the e-mail on behalf of our children.
That's all there is to it! Why don't you take time to join today? Do it for your children!

This, belatedly, is for Thersites, should he be wandering by (and yeah, it doesn't exactly parse, but fuck it, it's the thought that counts):
T'was the night before Christmas
And back in the booth
Sat Mad Bill O'Reilly
Stroking his loof.
The stocking was tied
'Round his neck with great care
And he tugged it much tighter
Till he was gasping for air.
The audio control guy
Had long since left for the night
So no one could witness
O'Reilly's gasps of delight.
He thought of his interns
And of young Jenna Bush, too,
As his hands moved more quickly
And his countenance more blue.
He felt himself drawing
Far too near to release
So he summoned those damned Jews--
Voila, the pressure did ease.
Snow-capped balls of felafel
Danced through his mind
And he fancied a shower
And his producer's behind.
Tighter and tighter he drew
The noose round his throat
As he jerked and he thought
Of how the thugs stole the vote.
The Iraq war was going
Exactly as planned
With too few supplies
And badly undermanned.
This got him so excited
That he sprayed all his jism
But his oxygen-less brain seized
And suffered an aneurysm.
So while Imus and Tweety
Were home tucked in their bed
On the floor at Fox TV
Mad Bill O'Reilly was dead.

Friends, even the motto of the Olympic movement itself is suggestive:
"Faster, Higher, Stronger"
The Olympic ideal obviously consists of quick sex, getting stoned, and abusing steroids.
Any nipples peeking out during the opening ceremonies were there to entice our children to a path of Godless debauchery.
I volunteer to scrupulously review the footage in question, so all nipples can be positively accounted for.

Well, there was that giant stylized joint they lit....or there was the pagan stuff about some weird gods that weren't the almighty...oh I know! It was the flaming double helix! Way too scientific for sure.

That reminds me. Did you read the troll post the other day, in the thread concerning church 'n' state? Said 'Religion is in this country's DNA.'
Is that a hilarious statement or what? Hey, look out, your fish is growin' legs!

Santa baby
Just put a loofah under the tree

need a shower so bad
Santa Baby
And cook up that falafel tonight
Santa cutie
Harassment isn't what it may seem
She's mean --
Settled it out of court
Santa Honey
So give a guy a little support.
Think of all the Jews I've dissed
Think of all the thinking that I gave a miss
Shouting, hooting, yelling loud
That's how I manipulate the wingnut crowd.
So, Santa baby
there's just one more little thing
a ring --
yes I mean on the phone
Santa cutie,
And shut up, hey someone cut his mic!

Majestic Clio touched her silver wire,
And through time's lengthened vista moved a train,
In dignity sublime;--the patriot's fire
Kindled its torch in heaven's resplendent ray,
And 'mid contention rose to Heaven again.
Thanks, GWPDA!

Some of those gymnasts and skaters have really tight costumes and you can make out their naughty bits.
The last time I watched men's vault competition, I had a boner for four hours, which we all know from those Cialis ads that run every five minutes could be life-threatening.

Guy in my dorm once came back one night with puke all over him - he was actually carrying his sneakers because they were full of puke. Someone asked where the hell he had been, and he explained that one of the frathouses was hosting the "Barfalympics", with, I believe, distance & quantity being the primary judging criteria.
"Did you win?"
"There are no winners at the Barfalympics. Only losers."

Actually, there was an ethical issue about the olypmics and clothing--about whether the women's uniforms (say in volleyball) had to be skankier than the men's had to be.

In the Victorian era, concerns about indecency led to piano legs being covered up -- any bare leg being considered indecent, you see.
Also in Victorian times, it was considered indecent for young ladies to eat asparagas. I'm not kidding.
It was good table manners to eat asparagas with one's fingers, and, apparently, watching nubile young women slipping those spears, dripping with butter, past their eager young lips was, well, an affront to all that was decent and Christian.

University of Texas Prof Robert Jensen writes in the Star Telegraph (reg req, so I've copied it here)...
The United States has lost the war in Iraq, and that’s a good thing.
I don’t mean that the loss of American and Iraqi lives is to be celebrated. The death and destruction are numbingly tragic, and the suffering in Iraq is hard for most of us in the United States to comprehend.
The tragedy is compounded because these deaths haven’t protected Americans or brought freedom to Iraqis. They have come in the quest to extend the American empire in this “new American century.”
So, as a U.S. citizen, I welcome the U.S. defeat for a simple reason: It isn’t the defeat of the United States — its people or their ideals — but of that empire. And it’s essential that the American empire be defeated and dismantled.
The fact that the Bush administration says we are fighting for freedom and democracy (having long ago abandoned fictions about weapons of mass destruction and terrorist ties) does not make it so.
We must look at the reality, no matter how painful. The people of Iraq are better off without Saddam Hussein’s despised regime, but that does not prove our benevolent intentions or guarantee that the United States will work to bring meaningful democracy to Iraq.
In Iraq, the Bush administration invaded not to liberate but to extend and deepen U.S. domination. When Bush said, “We have no territorial ambitions; we don’t seek an empire,” on Nov. 11, 2002, he told a half-truth.
The United States doesn’t want to absorb Iraq or take direct possession of its oil. That’s not the way of empire today; it’s about control over the flow of oil and oil profits, not ownership.
In a world that runs on oil, the nation that controls the flow of oil has great strategic power. U.S. policy-makers want leverage over the economies of competitors — Western Europe, Japan and China — that are more dependent on Middle Eastern oil.
The Bush administration has invested money and lives in making Iraq a platform from which the United States can project power.
That requires not the liberation of Iraq but its subordination. But most Iraqis don’t want to be subordinated, which is why the United States in some sense lost the war on the day it invaded. One lesson of contemporary history is that occupying armies generate resistance that, inevitably, prevails over imperial power.
When we admit defeat and pull out — not if, but when — the fate of Iraqis will depend in part on whether the United States makes good on legal and moral obligations to pay reparations and allows international institutions to aid in creating a truly sovereign Iraq.
We shouldn’t expect politicians to do either without pressure. An anti-empire movement — the joining of anti-war forces with the movement to reject corporate globalization — must create that pressure.
We should all carry a profound sense of sadness at where decisio

Jensen Pt2
We should all carry a profound sense of sadness at where decisions made by U.S. policy-makers — not just the gang in power today but a string of Republican and Democratic administrations — have left us and the Iraqis. But that sadness should not keep us from pursuing the most courageous act of citizenship in the United States today: pledging to dismantle the American empire.
The planet’s resources do not belong to the United States. The century is not America’s. We own neither the world nor time. And if we don’t give up the quest — if we don’t find our place in the world instead of on top of the world — there is little hope for a safe, sane and sustainable future.

12/10/2004: UT Journalism Prof: We Lost, and It's Good
We shouldn’t be surprised that mainstream media is relentlessly anti-American, when college journalism students are being taught by the likes of University of Texas professor Robert Jensen: A defeat for an empire.

Water is very important to the Greek culture. Their flag symbolizes that fact(blue represents Oceanos) So the puddle comment the WP made was a little uncalled for. You don't want to piss off the Greeks.

This is not the conclusion of the Lancet report. The report describes 'excess deaths' and does not specify if they are civilian or combatant. see crooked timber on this.

OT -- Ohio's Secretary of State is at it again, illegally locking down voter records. Ohio Revised Code requires these records be open to public inspection:
"On Friday December 10 two certified volunteers for the Ohio Recount team assigned to Greene County were in process recording voting information from minority precincts in Greene County, and were stopped mid-count by a surprise order from Secretary of State Blackwell’s office. The Director Board of Elections stated that “all voter records for the state of Ohio were “locked-down,” and now they are not considered public records.” "

I'm a recount coordinator and had a good first encounter w/ the BOE director where I'm to work. But that was before Blackwell's latest edict. God knows what havoc it will bring.
Be angry, then channel the anger, please!

What they're complaining about (I assume) are the male dancers/participants who depicted nude statues. The *ironic* thing is, if you zoom any of the stills, what the guys were wearing were *fake* external plumbing; the Real Things were constrained by dance belts of some sort, the outlines of which you can clearly see below the waist and around the hip bones.
They were *costumes* that made them *look* like nekkid statues.
They weren't actually naked.
Sheesh.

This from an article in the Los Angeles Times (quoted from Tapped.com)
concerning the left/right fight fight fight in today's univeristies:
(I know it's off topic, but nobody is looking down at the post from yesterday).
The main causes of the partisan disparity on campus have little to do with anything so nefarious as discrimination. First, Republicans don't particularly want to be professors. To go into academia — a highly competitive field that does not offer great riches — you have to believe that living the life of the mind is more valuable than making a Wall Street salary. On most issues that offer a choice between having more money in your pocket and having something else — a cleaner environment, universal health insurance, etc. — conservatives tend to prefer the money and liberals tend to prefer the something else. It's not so surprising that the same thinking would extend to career choices.
Second, professors don't particularly want to be Republicans. In recent years, and especially under George W. Bush, Republicans have cultivated anti-intellectualism. Remember how Bush in 2000 ridiculed Al Gore for using all them big numbers?

Perhaps we could help the fundies along by massively filing absurd 'lewdity' complaints in their names; for instance demanding that 'Leave It To B..v.r' reruns must bleep or dubstitute that nasty word. Roadrage - 1:43 pm
As I commented the other day, a nice little local establishment of higher learning founded as Beaver College recently renamed itself "Arcadia University", in part because of the vulgar usage of "Beaver". I recommended they upgrade to "Pudenda University", which would've preserved tradition and added that desperately needed touch of class.
So I guess they should rename the sitcom "Leave It to Arcadia".

What I want to know is what in the fucking hell is so indecent about nudity?
I so wish that this country hadn't been settled by a bunch of losers from England who left because they were defeated after they tried to take over. I always kind of liked the Stuarts, just because life got so deliciously ribald under Charles (ha ha!). But damn, if not for the Restoration, maybe it could have been reversed. We could have been settled by the Stuarts, and England would now be called Gilead, or the New Jerusalem.
Cromwell is one of history's great tyrants, IMO. I've been thinking a lot about him lately. Who knew that we'd have to go through the same fucking sort of conflict that arose in England almost 400 years ago?

In other eye-popping news, someone called the kitchen store today to ask about cooking classes. Then she wanted to know if there were classes for Christians. Then she asked what the demographics were for the people that took the classes. The girl who took the call was stunned.

Your point about Christian fundies and England is very true. Here in the UK there has been a very good BBC show about religion down through our history.
It shows how we went from being a Catholic country to a Protestant country through Henry 8th. About 100 years ago we were very much like you are now. The fundies had taken control. But they went too far. They tried to ban almost everything. And now we are a very secular society.
I have always thought that yo lead and we follow. But I have come to the conclusion that you are about 100 years behind us. You are even following us into the iddea of Empire. We could not keep control of are Empire because of cost. You may find the same thing.

Don't mistake a lot of noise for reality. Sure, there is going to be a tightening of standards on network TV - like anyone much will notice. They can't control cable because we pay for it. They can't destroy that business because it is part of the economy. They are going to get to be in the spotlight for awhile. But they cannot control things to the extent that you are suggesting, fourlegsgood. They can't do that anywhere in the world anymore except places that have isolated themselves completely.

Karankawa indians, memorable for two reasons. First, they wept constantly; de Vaca claims that on entering another man's tent, there would be twenty minutes of teary sobbing before conversation began. Second, they were cannibals.
Otherwords, they would cry a lot before they ate you.

I'm telling you, this part of this nightmare is fun.

From the form letter complaining about SAVING PRIVATE RYAN on the Million Moms website:
COMPLAINANT believes that the excerpts cited from "Saving Private Ryan" content are fully representative of the show's overall tone and quality.
The FUCK? (no pun intended)
Some curse words cause an Academy Award-winning film to be named as lacking in quality?
These people are completely off their nut.
The best part is that the site apologizes for including "the 's' word" and "the 'f' word" in the form letter, but you see, it's REQUIRED.

chris/tx - of all the Texas history stuffed down my throat all my life, the only part I remember really well is that the Karankawas were cannibals.
fourlegsgood - well, is it religious censorship? Or is it more governmental? Because I'm alarmed at censorship, too. But I think this post and the insane lady who called pie's place of employment are funny. Because they are ridiculous. And I think that Cochise is right - these fundie ijits should be held up to scorn for being the nitwits they are.
As for academia, that concerns me very much. I'm curious just what you've had censored.

Re: cat names -
you can keep the George, but modify it: Gen. George S. Patton, another scrapper.
I've always like the names "Fred" and "Ralph" for orange male cats too, for whatever reason.
And I've always thought "Quasimodo" would be a most excellent cat name.
My kitty, btw, is Eartha Katt (for Eartha Kitt, who played Catwoman in some of the Batman TV shows). But it took me about 3 weeks to figure out what to call her, so you may just want to mull on it awhile.

This is where the right could split apart. I think it is very important that the left talks a lot about real freedom. Corporate America will get very pissed off with the Christians if they try to ban most things.
The Dems need to fight this crap, not move closer to it.

Tena, email me and I'll give you details.
Pie, always glad to be of service. Tell the crazy called that you have a nice class where you make paper maché sculptures for table decorations out of shredded bibles as well. Maybe her head will explode.

She'd probably firebomb the store.
These stories are too crazy. These people credit God with everything that happens, good or bad.
I had a woman who owned a cute store (near Hilldale, MI) that she worked very hard to get where she was. Yet it was *God* that got the credit.
Did God do the work? I'll call him.
My house needs dusting.
These people need a reason for all the scary stuff that happens. I feel so sorry for them.

I bet it was the lighting part of the ceremony. It did kinda look like a giant doobie.
Actually, My wife and I were satying at her mother's house when we were watching that. You'll notice the, um, phallic nature of the torch.
Once it was lit, the "torch" was raised from a horizontal to a completely vertical position. This sent both Mrs. Basman and I into a fit of giggles. We were dissapointed, however that the torch wasn't lowered to, um, half mast ddring the closing ceremonies

can't add much to the above discussion except 2 funny stories from rhode island, the most Catholic state. (i was raised cat'lic, so no bigotry charges please). admittedly, both events are @ 20 years ago. some rhode island school of design students had an exhibit called "private parts" where the patrons could view photos of students' genitals in costume; for example one photo was of an erection in a box of straw wearing a little straw hat surrounded by plastic farm animals. the papers didn't report on female participants but my personal fantasies involve groucho nose glasses. even better, thanks to the genius of dr. land, the PATRONS could participate and take home a polaroid of their artistic endeavor. i believe the providence police raided the show on its second day.
several years later rhode island hospital commissioned a statue for the lawn by the main entrance. the daughter of then brown u. pres. (now the late) howard swearer won. she did a scrap-metal likeness of icarus (or dedalus- can't remember) larger-than-life...in every respect. his penis was a car bumper. after about a week of pro and con letters in the local papers the work was removed when the artist refused to remove the offensive feature.
i don't know what became of the sculpture.

It's that they can't or won't admit that when things go wrong, it's either their fault or out of their control.
Out of their control and no responsibility. Man, what an easy existence.

Ever heard the (about to be very condensed) joke about the woman and the flood?
The waters are rising around her house, and a guy comes buy in a rowboat, and offers to give her a ride to high ground. She politely declines, saying "The Lord will provide."
Now the first floor is underwater, and a guy in a motorboat comes by her second-story window. Again, she declines, saying "The Lord will provide."
Finally, she ends up on the roof, and once again, another boat tries to rescue her and is turned away with "The Lord will provide."
Then her house is completely submerged, and she drowns. She ends up in Heaven, and when she meets God she asks him how he could let her drown:
"What happened? I thought the Lord would provide!"
"Lady, I sent THREE BOATS!"

sally - absofuckinglutely the Democrats should fight this and not embrace it. If they will just do that, they will find, I think, that they will have allies from unexpected places. Well, that's my hope, anyway.
I know that there are Republicans out here in America who are disgusted beyond measure with their party over this bullshit, among other things. And I don't think it would hurt one damned bit if we stood up and gave those Republicans hell for failing to keep any control over their goddamned party.

Late to the party, and half a glass of wine on top of -- a long day made me almost screw up the ital there, but try Choose The Blue, as well. "ChooseTheBlue tells you what political donations were made by a company and its employees." Has tons of categories, broken down into dollars AND percentage donated to Dems and Repugs.
Course, maybe the thread's dead by now.

Why isn't anyone going after the various Viagra commercials? I'm thinking of the Enzyte ones in particular - the latest one has "Smilin' Bob" as the office Santa, with eager, giggly women lined up to sit on his lap (there's also a brief shot showing just the "POLE" part of a NORTH POLE sign...).

'This cat came to me with the name of "George".'
Could be he's George Bernard Shaw?
Another reformed cannibal claimed that humans are actually rather bland, so that one had to put plenty of other things in the dish. I can't recall the exact words or the citation, but this was from an old article about New Guinea.

There used to be a character named Mango, who was kind of like a waiflike, effeminate male exotic dancer who men would fall in love with instantly.
So "Sergeant Mango" has about the same resonance for me as "Sergeant Sugarhips."

Some of the cannibal tribes, and some sailors, used to refer to human flesh as long pork. I believe they maintained that that's what it tasted like.

It's not just the ceremonies, the uniforms used in the Games themselves are far too sexy. We need:

I look forward particularly to:
the 110 metre hurdles
the burqua high jump
rhythmic gymnastics
and of course any of the water events
