Sorry to go OT so soon, but I'm on this Florida real estate agent's e-mail list. Just now I got a bulk mail containing possibly the greatest typo in keyboarding history:

Hope all is well and you have a joyous holiday season. I will be out of the office from DEC. 18-30 fisting my children in Boston. Burrrr!

I kid you not.

And on-topic: As a not-so-prominent Democrat, I'd be happy to curse out O'Reilly, if it'll help. Or even if it won't. Cursing him out would make me very happy.

i decided that o'reilly has to be officially insane after watching him the other day lecture one of his guests on the inability he perceives democrats have with acting in morally sound ways.

after his little phone trist with his producer, you'd think at the very least he'd have the decency to shut the fuck up when he got a pang of desire to lecture on morals.

but no, not when you're insane, right o'reilly?

You would basically be in the shower and then I would come in and I'd join you and you would have your back to me and I would take that little loofa thing and kinda soap up your back... rub it all over you, get you to relax, hot water... and um... you know, you'd feel the tension drain out of you and uh you still would be with your back to me then I would kinda put my arm - it's one of those mitts, those loofa mitts you know, so I got my hands in it... and I would put it around front, kinda rub your tummy a little bit with it, and then with my other hand I would start to massage your boobs, get your nipples really hard... cuz I like that and you have really spectacular boobs...

So anyway I'd be rubbing your big boobs and getting your nipples really hard, kinda kissing your neck from behind... and then I would take the other hand with the falafel thing and I'd put it on your pussy but you'd have to do it really light, just kind of a tease business...

December 17, 2004
Search on for Fetus Cut From Mother's Womb
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 9:56 a.m. ET

SKIDMORE, Mo. (AP) -- Police were trying to find an infant they believe could still be alive after being cut from the womb of its mother, slain in her northwest Missouri home Thursday afternoon.

The Nodaway County Sheriff's Department issued an Amber Alert about 12:30 a.m. for the child, believed to be female. The alert said police were looking for a suspect who may have blond hair who possibly was driving a red vehicle. The sheriff's department said officials did not know if the person they were looking for was a man or woman.

``I believe there is a live 8-month-old fetus out there we need to find,'' Sheriff Bill Espey said.

The child's mother, Bobbi Jo Stinnett, 23, was eight months pregnant. Her mother found her inside her home and called police at 3:38 p.m. Paramedics tried to revive the young woman, who was pronouced dead later at St. Francis Hospital in Maryville.

``Someone was wanting a baby awful bad,'' Espey said.

The Missouri Major Case Squad, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and an investigation team from neighboring Buchanan County were assisting Nodaway County officials in the investigation.

An autopsy was to be conducted in Kansas City by the Jackson County medical examiner.

``We're looking into strangulation,'' the sheriff said. ``We know she was alive in the afternoon, within an hour of being found.''

Espey said there were no visible signs of struggle on the victim's body, and no indication of forced entry into her small white home in this small community of about 500, located north of St. Joseph in the extreme northwest corner of Missouri.

...The sheriff said the couple had no known enemies and were well-liked in the neighborhood.

``They stayed to themselves,'' said Dragoo. ``They didn't bother anybody. It blows my mind that this happened. She was such a shy person. They didn't deserve this.''

If any woman ever breathed a word I'll make her pay so dearly that she'll wish she'd never been born. I'll rake her through the mud, bring up things in her life and make her so miserable that she'll be destroyed. And besides, she wouldn't be able to afford the lawyers I can or endure it financially as long as I can. And nobody would believe her, it'd be her word against mine and who are they going to believe? Me or some unstable woman making outrageous accusations? They'd see her as some psycho, someone unstable.

Besides, I'd never make the mistake of picking unstable crazy girls like that.

If you cross Fox News Channel, it's not just me, it's Roger Ailes who will go after you. I'm the sreet guy out front making loud noises about the issues, but Ailes operates behind the scenes, strategizes and makes things happen so that one day BAM! The person gets what's coming to them but never sees it coming. Look at Al Franken, one day he's going to get a knock on his door and life as he's known it will change forever. That day will happen, trust me.

"During the course of O'Reilly's telephone monologue on August 2, 2004, he suggested that Plaintiff Andrea Mackris purchase a vibrator and name it, and that he had one 'shaped like a cok with a little battery in it' that a woman had given him. It became apparent that Defendant [O'Reilly] was masturbating as he spoke. After he climaxed, Defendant O'Reilly said to Plaintiff: 'I appreciate the fun phone call. You can have fun tonight. I'll appreciate it. I mean it.'"

Good point about the kid, krsaz.

watertiger, I have to admit this, because it is the truth:

My dad was an auto mechanic. Owned his own gas station for years. He never graduated high school. Yet he completes the NY Times Crossword Puzzle without fail every Sunday.

I, on the other hand, graduated from college, majored in English, never received less than an "A" on a paper the entire time I was in school, and work with words for a living, but I cannot, for the life of me, do a crossword puzzle. I don't know why that is ~ if it's a patience thing, or what (my mind tends to dart in and out of things...always ticking away, often times about nothing).

I'm excellent Scrabble player, though.

I'm having trouble finding appropriate words to describe guys like Bush, Cheney, O'Reilly, etc. I don't like denigrating whores, bastards, neanderthals, monkeys, dogs, animals with small and simple nervous systems. I have nothing against any of these types of people or creatures. I respect whores, my half brother is technically a bastard, I have nothing against proto-humans, lower primates or various creatures.

These men are difficult to describe, but they're best described accurately: Murderous, criminally insane, spiritually and morally bankrupt, wicked, twisted, sick, bent, etc.

One other thing, there's nothing wrong with intellectually retarded people, dumb people, intellectual under-achievers. Nothing wrong with 'fuckers' either. The term "Bushevik" denigrates Bolsheviks. Just thought I'd add those to the list of words which aren't very appropriate to describe our political opposition.

It's interesting to watch the whole thing start to implode, but scary as well. Once Hitler was in power, it only took him 6 months to target homosexuals and Jews and start shipping them off, with the consent and cooperation of many of the german volks. These people (pols and pundits) are obviously sick, perverted psychos, but at what point can we no longer effect any change? We can't just let them go on destroying what took over 200 years to build, can we?

Vicki--Crossword puzzles are a specialized skill; you need to learn a lot of crosswordese like anoa (Celebes ox) ecu (old French coin) and adit (mine entrance) for starters. These words become in-jokes for puzzlers, so you might get a clue like "That darn ox again." The British puzzles are much more interesting, relying on obscure wordplay. "Hazard to shake a veggie patch (6)" yields "danger" for the answer (it's a synonym for hazard and an anagram of garden).

Bush's idea of democracy in the Middle East:

A U.S. official, who declined to be named, said he did not know of a deal to bring Allawi back, but said it was clear any Iraqi prime minister would have to be palatable to Washington.

In other words, the U.S. has veto power over any "elected" Iraqi leader.

At some point of time Fox will reimage O'Reilly's show, putting him in a stall on a pile of hay. Before every interview, they will toss him a live chicken and encourage him to bite its head off. If he refuses, they will goad him on with a cattle prod. Guests will be encouraged to wear easily laundered clothing that is stain resistant due to the blood laden spittle that will accompany any interview OReilly gives.

I wonder if his mother ever found out that he implied she was a liar during the infamous "Fresh Air" interview. He was trying to bash Franken by saying that a certain passage in "Lying Liars" was a lie, but Franken was merely quoting an interview with Bully Billy's mommy in that passage. If only there was a way to let her know. Maybe she could straighten her boy out with a nice thick hickory switch and bar of Lava.

I'm going to start listening with an open mind, even though I've been pro-choice for 30 years. I read the entire long-ass thread and now believe we have to dialogue with democratic pro-life people to see if we can come up with some type of solution to bring these people back.

Perhaps the best thing that could be done is to get O'Reilly in a cycle of reacting to claims that he is a coward, a liar and a hypocrite. So what if he attacks the ACLU and Media Matters. No one but the hardcore of his followers really cares. But if we get him on the defensive, always responding to one attack, based of course, in the transcripts of his own show, then he has less time and energy to go on to tell even more damaging lies and reveals himself as the paranoid nutzoid he is.
I think he may be a real paranoid and the kind of letters recently sent by Brock could, if repeated, turn him into a liability for the right and Fox.
(Similar things could be said of the Preznit.)

The fundamental reason that Bill O'Reilly stays afloat is that the whole corporapist-owned media is owned by assholes. One fine day, the TV and Radio spectrum will be mostly gobbled up by telcos and society will be able to evolve. The one-way propaganda-distribution mechanism called broadcasting is the reason for most of the backwards progress in America. A decentralized, p2p structure, such as the internet is the cure.

Off Topic:
(click homepage for link)
Josh over at TPM is covering some more deceptive B.S. from the white house on the earth shattering SS crisis.

"Introduced as a "single mom" from Iowa, Sandra Jaques was cool and confident as she praised President Bush's plan to partly replace Social Security with private savings accounts. "I have a daughter at home. Her name is Wynter," said Ms. Jaques, sitting a few feet from President Bush at the White House economic conference on Thursday. "I want to make sure that she has Social Security when she retires as well." Mr. Bush chimed in a moment later. "One of my visions of personal savings accounts is that Sandy will be able to pass her account on to Wynter as part of Wynter's capacity to retire as well." The exchange was an example of how Mr. Bush promotes his agenda with testimonials from "regular folks," in the words of Joshua B. Bolten, the White House budget director, who introduced Ms. Jaques. But Ms. Jaques is not any random single mother. She is the Iowa state director of a conservative advocacy group, FreedomWorks, whose founders are Jack F. Kemp, the former vice-presidential nominee, and Dick Armey, the former House Republican leader. Ms. Jaques also spent much of the past two years as a spokeswoman in Iowa for a group called For Our Grandchildren, which is mounting a nationwide campaign for private savings accounts.

One of the top selling books of the past year, by Al Franken, was languishing somewhere in the mid hundreds several weeks after it came out.

It was destined for the rack outside of the Strand a couple blocks from here.

And then, Bill O'Reilly sued Little Al.

And the sales went platinum!

Propelled by the anger of the right.

And now, the left is doing the same favor for O'Reilly, attacking him at every turn, and energizing his flock right up into the red zone.

As evidenced by the nebulous nature of the above blogged attack.

O'Reilly was talking about a prominent Democrat party member calling the President a "dumb fuck" in a well covered, by the press, event.

Cheney, in a private exchange that was overheard, told Leahy to "fuck off."

One was pointedly public, the other occuring in a heated private exchange.

And O'Reilly, and his many minions, would easily suggest that "cursing out" meant that Chase was making a socially unacceptably crude personal criticism. While Cheney was just making sharing his private thoughts
about Leahy's course of action.

The point is, pick your battles carefully. This is tainted meat for the bitter masses. And only lends support to O'reilly.

I have never watched him. I ignore him. Which, if you did the same, he'd probably go away.

Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit.
In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving stollen and rum balls.

2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. Like fine single-malt scotch, it's rare.
In fact, it's even rarer than single-malt scotch. You can't find it any other time of year but now.
So drink up!
Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-aholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!

3. If something comes with gravy, use it.
That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.

4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk.
If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.

5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating.
The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free.
Lots of it. Hello?

6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do.
This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.

7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa, position yourself near them and don't budge.
Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.

8. Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each.
Or, if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?

9. Did someone mention fruitcake?
Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories, but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.

10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention.
Reread tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner.

Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Jolly Holidays, chers...

2) The Kansas Supreme Court just shot down that state's death penalty law.

As much as Gonzales makes me, well, ill, I think that he's a shoe in because the "opposition party" meme has not quite taken hold in the Democratic representatives in the House and the Senate. We need to continue to push to make the Democrats into a true party of opposition over the long term.

Just a strategic perspective.

If O'Lielly tells the rubes that no rightie cusses out Dems, why wouldn't they believe him? These are the same rubes who think Saddam flew a plane on 9/11 and gassed US troops when they invaded Iraq. The same rubes who think Bush is a decent, stand-up guy; that Rumsfeld and Bush had NO IDEA our guys were torturing prisoners; and who think that Bush will protect them even though he was asleep at the wheel on 9/11 and fought the 9/11 Commission and creation of Homeland Security every freakin' step of the way. Do not let reality intrude in the world of the rubes....they will have none of it...NONE OF IT. O'Lielly is always right. ALWAYS. That is all.

As telling as that picture is, you should understand that he works hard and knows things, things a president should know and that's what makes being president such hard work, all that knowing.

So, going behind your parents' backs to read a book in a library is bad; but being allowed to get condoms, fail to use them while having sex, then having an abortion behind your parents' backs is - what, okay?

And I believe the point was that Chase made his remarks deliberately and as the moderator of a public event. Vice President Cheney made his spontaneously, with no certain knowledge that they would be recorded and broadcast.

Hey, it's encouraging to see one of this country's finest moral crusaders telling a kid to read a book rather than burn one, even if it's his and the kid'll be using those evil taxpayer-funded libraries. Granted, I can't imagine a library in this country worth its salt that'd stock The O'Reilly Factor For Kids. I know his spiel is simplistic enough so that fourth graders can understand it - and poke holes in it, I imagine - but why in the hell would anyone write a political book for kids?

krsaz,
I don't know if they're made up or not, but I can't imagine what kid would want to read such rubbish. If it's anything like O'Reilly's usual screeds, the kid's not gonna learn anything useful from it, despite his/her political ideology (which is so unformed at that age it isn't even funny). Course, if the whole shebang was for real, I'd wanna know why the parents haven't explained why they "hate" O'Reilly to that extent and why the kid still wants to read the damn book other than pissing his/her folks off.

And as for the connection to sneaking around about sex and abortion (which, of course, always follows the former in the wingnut mind), no, that ain't right, either. And it's just as "not right" to have a kid so ignorant about the human reproductive system and sexual relations that he/she has to sneak around behind his/her parents' backs.

Course, no one ever wants to bring that little bit of knowledge up in said debate, now do they. Kids get no respect in this society and adults wonder why they show no respect.

krsaz, read the whole sentence. It was a comparison. You took the position that advocating that a child do something without its parents' knowledge or consent was bad. I brought up the comparison of sex education in schools, with attendant passing out of condoms without parental knowledge or consent; and added the fact that there are many, primarily on the left, who advocate that teenage girls should be able to get abortions without parental knowledge or consent.

The latter has been defended since my original post as good by a commenter in this thread.

That just seems hypocritical to me.

dexter,

Date rape is an issue that no one should take lightly. It happens, and it sucks. I was at a party in college and this football player asked if he could take me home. We were talking for most of the evening, he knew several of my friends, so I figured he'd be okay. He was a very large man, played some defensive line position, 6'6", close to 275#. I'm relatively tall myself, 5'8", and medium build, but I was in no way prepared to throw this guy off of me once I realized what he intended to do. Saying "no" rang hollow, screaming "no" didn't do me one bit of good.

Back then, if you reported that kind of thing, you'd be considered a slut...

btw, I'm not telling this for sympathy. I'm over it, have been for two decades. No sympathy, please.

But it is disgusting, and someone with a weaker constitution could have been scarred for a long time after that kind of an incident. I just remember that he creeped me out every time I'd bump into him...ewww. Funny, he was an art major.

Fuck the Republicans if they can't recognize reality.

I'd have to disagree with that, backslider. Kids get too damn much respect and attention in this country. Everything has to be vetted "for the kids." Janet Jackson' right ti pops out, it's like Mrs. Lovejoy: "Won't someone please think of the children?!!!?!"

Fretting about the effect of an incident on a vague and anonymous group designated "children" (by definition unable to speak or reason for themselves) is not "respect."

Respectfully....

I am retired from the Army. There is a very real chance that I could get called back to active service. I have no problem with that.

I agree with Bill Maher on this: Fuck the kids.

That's NOT respect.

What that is is infantilization (it's a real word) which is a tried-and-true patriarchal strategy designed to reduce any opposition to the patriarchy to the level of childishness which is 'legitimately' under the supervision of --wait for it---

the patriarchy...

Spoken like someone who doesn't have any children.

I personally think it is the parents responsibility to show their kids how to be responsible liberals in society. I don't care about Janet's tit popping out for a millisecond during the Superbowl, I do care that our government sucks shit through a straw.

Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Jolly Holidays, chers...

Vicki -

I know you're not asking for sympathy. But I can't help saying I'm sorry that happened to you. Happy holidays, hon.

Q: What do Bill O'Reilly and a loofah have in common?

A: They're both abrasive but one is actually a lower form of animal life while the other is just a sponge.

Special Ed:

Yes, I know it was a comparison, the point is you are comparing reading a shitty political book to sex, condoms and abortion. Apple meet Orange.

Bill O'Lielly had an abortion, it's called "the Factor"
