I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

GravatarGuckert is a liar Fucking Bush


GravatarFirst?


GravatarHowdy, y'all.


GravatarDammit!


GravatarToby

How's things over there in eyerack?


Gravatarwha- wha- hoppin on Oberman?


GravatarIs it safe to come out yet?


-


GravatarToby

Did you just watch your Gooper brother there on Anderson Cooper?


GravatarTalking about yuckie guckie dissin' Daschle.


Gravatar"Jeff Guckert is hard to pronounce. Hi, I'm Keith Olbermann."

I love this guy.


GravatarHey, Atrios,

What's this about you hating your mom?

"...Today, while teaching an Internet Activist Seminar, Mike Krempasky told his conservative youngens, "Daily Kos is a site built by the hard-left. There is no doubt, they are effective - they are freighteningly effective...It's probably bigger than the Washington Times right now."

He was less sparing about Atrios:

"Atrios is a raging left-wing blogger. He actually hates America. He hates apple pie, he even hates his own mother."


-


GravatarI'm with RC, Olbermann's look on the name-change thing was priceless.


GravatarIt's Dana Milbank.

Heh.


Gravatarmeow meow bad daddy meow meow

GravatarRE: Bush's apparent concession to raise the rayroll tax from $90,000.

Buchanan attended the conservative convention today and says that the conservatives are speculating on a "Read My Lips, No New Taxes" genetic defect in the Bush family. Apparently the conservatives are sharpening their pitchforks.

I see a teaming potential.


GravatarOlbermann rocks. Also talking with Dana Milbank. JGJG was just pitiful on Cooper, but I wish Anderson had pointed out that it isn't stuff in his "past" and it isn't "personal and private" when you've got it literally sprawled naked on the internets!


GravatarEleventeenth !!

Evening, freethinkers


Gravatari don't know all that much about thume or SDakotan politics, but I have this incredible, irrational dislike for him...I'd love for that dude to go down in flames.


Gravatar"Atrios is a raging left-wing blogger. He actually hates America. He hates apple pie, he even hates his own mother."

Apple Pie too?


GravatarWhatever number I am, I don't need to have it made into a barcoded tattoo, right?


Gravatar"...It's probably bigger than the Washington Times right now."

and doesn't lose $100 million a year, either.


GravatarI don't like Keith Olbermann. He's a smarmy wad of pseudo-intellect.


Gravatarhas anyone seen anything on the gannon story on the "O'Riley Factor"
it seems to have all the ingredients for his show sex, lies, deceit, homosexual, et-cetera?


GravatarGannon was on Anderson Cooper. Gym had the sound off (thank god), but he looked like he was going to cry. Cooper actually asked whether or not it was hypocritical of him to be a gay escort while writing anti-gay pieces for Talon.

I was surprised. But not as surprised as the people on the treadmills who were startled by my yelling "LIAR!" at the teebee.


GravatarWho can eat apple pie nowadays.

Way too many bad apples.


GravatarUmmm, we ain't bigger til we do the arranged mass marriages that were to be a surprise feature this week-end.

Ooops, sorry Mrs. Tena Lime Rickey


GravatarHe's a smarmy wad of pseudo-intellect.
Toby Petzold


Oh well Toby, you'd know...


GravatarI heart Keith Olbermann. Guess that makes me one o' them librul moonbats.


GravatarAtrios hates his mother? On his own birthday?



GravatarAtrios is a raging left-wing blogger. He actually hates America. He hates apple pie, he even hates his own mother.

I prefer apple cobbler. But gimme a pecan pie with extra whipped cream any day of the week! Heck, make that EVERYDAY.

Mom? She makes a great boston cream pie. Made for me on Super Bowl Sunday in fact. Gotta love Mom. Not, you know, the way the Big O did, of course.


GravatarOf course, reading the thread below may have helped...


GravatarAhmad Chalabi + Judith Miller,
Do you have a link for that?


GravatarBliekker, it's the lead on Dailykos right now


GravatarAtrios hates his mother


GravatarGuckert/Gannon's performance was a slightly less hysterical performance of I have sinned against you speech or confession by Jimmy Swaggert.


GravatarAnd your legs look great, AquaTigre


GravatarThe more I logically examine the evidence, the more I think this goes back to the RNC and Rove. This is going to turn out like Watergate.


GravatarDid I type that or think that? Ohhhh...he he he...


GravatarOn the CIA memo on DKos:

Wilson said:
"Back to the memo, when Gannon mentioned it to me, I told him I knew nothing about it "

Now if it was in WSJ a week earlier as Gannon said wouldn't Wilson have known?
Someone needs to check on this


GravatarDana Milbank needs to stay off these stupid television shows or his credibility will be in the toilet too. Who cares what Laura Ingraham or Rush Limbaugh does? They are not journalists and no one thinks they are.


GravatarWell, yesterday I found out, via Google, where that URL for the gay-Atrios ad is registered. It's in NIUE! That's right, a Polynesian island which is a self-governing dependency of New Zealand.

Jim Guckert--what a tongue-twister.


GravatarThanks all.


GravatarKeith laid out the whole sordid affair quite nicely. James Guckert is a HARD name to pronounce. Hhahahaha.


GravatarOur investigative report shows Atrios hates cherry pie as well.


GravatarDamn, I hate to agree with Saletan over Atrios:

http://slate.msn.com/id/2113742/

(also, homepage)


Gravatarsemper fubar, I just saw that. In Krempasky's defense, he was drunk, it was dark, and the panda was delicious.


GravatarWhen I was small, the ranch where I learned to ride had a horse named Toby. None of kids wanted to ride him 'cause he ran off-kilter and farted from one end of the corral to the other.


Gravatarbut I wish Anderson had pointed out that it isn't stuff in his "past" and it isn't "personal and private" when you've got it literally sprawled naked on the internets!

Well, at least Olbermann did!


Gravatarman, jiffy jeff is dumber than the trolls that come in here.

why can't i be journalist?

oh yeah,

heterosexually yours,


GravatarNTodd - Whatever number I am, I don't need to have it made into a barcoded tattoo...

Not yet, anyway.


GravatarGannon may have his timeline right.

On DKos

When did the interview with Gannon actually take place? It was published October,28, 2003, but we're trying to nail down the precise date you talked to him.

(WilsonI don't recall but it couldn't have been more than a week earlier.


Putting it at ~Oct 21 and according to Dkos:
The news continues with the information in circulation until October 17th when David S. Cloud from the WSJ mentions the 2002 CIA memo


GravatarAn apple pie hater cannot serve two masters


GravatarNTodd, I met a guy that had that done once. I thought it was hilarious but it's a little spooky now.

I will not wear the Mark of the Bush.


GravatarWho cares what Laura Ingraham or Rush Limbaugh does? They are not journalists and no one thinks they are.


Oh, really? Then why do the wingnuts take them so seriously? Why are they invited on to "news" programs and asked for their expert advise?

Milbanks's point was the news reporters and blowhard blabbers are becomming so entwined it's hard to tell the difference.


Gravatarsorry there shouln't have been a smiley face in there


GravatarI wish Anderson had pointed out that it isn't stuff in his "past" and it isn't "personal and private" when you've got it literally sprawled naked on the internets!

Exactly...gay sex simply way icker than cumstains on a young woman's blue dress.
A total load,( if you'll pardon the expression).
Didn't see Keith but JD's Anderson go was a mess with a defense still very simular to the lines being pushed by Ari and Scotty proving that the whole defense in this matter is being coordinated by some slick article. A slick article who'd be able to brag to his BF about the very secret approach of Shock and Awe...this is a major sec breech and a major clue that Gucky's friend could only be one out of a mere handful of power boys or boyettes...depending on who's top


GravatarAtrios is a raging left-wing blogger. He actually hates America. He hates apple pie, he even hates his own mother.

So here's the new rt-wing party line: you've got to like apple pie. What if I were a rt-winger who just didn't like apple pie? Would I now have to fake a fondness for it? Would I have to eat it until I gag?

I love apple pie if it's made well, but not everyone makes it well.

Yet another reason to be glad to be a progressive


GravatarWith a name like Guckert, this has got to be good.


GravatarIf you missed the JiffyJeff meltdown, Avarosis has a good run-down.


GravatarAnd your legs look great, AquaTigre

Wait, you've seen H20tiger's legs? Dish!


GravatarFuck Bush!

And fuck Mike Krempasky with an apple pie!

GravatarChessie |

i actually had a cat named Chessie, when i lived in Maryland.

she was a mean one. speaking of cat's anyone see the Liger, whoa kitty.

poor dana, he's right this shit is ruining journalism Limpnuts goes East


GravatarI'm just not that fond of apple pie - more of a custard pie or flan oh man I do the flan!


GravatarDish!

I'm sure she is.


GravatarNow, huckleberry pie - mmmmmmmmm!



GravatarExactly...gay sex simply way icker than cumstains on a young woman's blue dress.
A total load,( if you'll pardon the expression).


Hahaha. I don't believe Cooper mentioned the gay angle at all. Funny how reporters get all shy and polite when wingers get into sex scandals.

Poor Clenis had his dick size noted, was possibly gonna have to drop his drawers for inspection about a curious *bend.* But let's be REAL polite to Glukfuck.


Gravataryou've got to like apple pie.

I make a really good apple cranberry pie. I put ginger in the crust. And I'm a freakin' bleeding heart liberal/borderline Socialist.

heh heh heh, I said 'crust.'


oh, and "ooh, zank you!" Ripley!

(/Teri Garr in "Young Frankenstein")


GravatarEli & NTodd,
she is. Though granted, she was wearing pants each time we met, in an un-Gigi-like fashion.


GravatarSo here's the new rt-wing party line: you've got to like apple pie. What if I were a rt-winger who just didn't like apple pie?

Worse yet - what if I'm allergic to apples. I'm preordained to be a Dem? Aarrgh....the cognitive dissonance.


GravatarI bet Rove shits his pants whenever Guckert gets on TV. I would love for someone to ask him about the Plame scandal. Guckert is a a loose Gannon! He talks so much something bad is going to come out. I wouldn't be suprised if he is either trying to stay on TV so much he doesn't get shot at or he winds up floating in the Potomac. Who cares about another dead hooker in Washington?


Gravatarfuck Mike Krempasky with an apple pie!

Now there's a hard name to pronounce. He should change it. "Jeff Gannon" won't be taken for much longer. He should look into it. Karl could hook him up.

And yeah, fuck him with an apple pie.

Happy birthday Atrios! Man, I'd love to see 33 again. Hell, I'd take 43.


GravatarWait, you've seen H20tiger's legs? Dish!


At the moment, Eyelash Man, the right one is plastered with those "Salon Pas" mentholated patches. Sparring on Wednesday night was a little more intense than usual.


Gravatar"Oh, really? Then why do the wingnuts take them so seriously? Why are they invited on to "news" programs and asked for their expert advise?

Milbanks's point was the news reporters and blowhard blabbers are becomming so entwined it's hard to tell the difference."

Ingraham/Limbaugh and their ilk are polemicists and only uneducated twits believe they are not.

Re Milbank: He is a real reporter who has recently become enamoured with TV celebrity. That makes him part of the problem.


GravatarI do love

e to the i pi is negative one

Gravatarnuthin', and I mean NUTHIN' beats a coconut cream pie from The Roadhouse in Mill Valley

Gravatarshe is.

Hey, I can't see any way a Jewish kickboxer can *not* be hot.


GravatarPoppy and Poopy, two of a kind.


Gravatarshe is. Though granted, she was wearing pants each time we met, in an un-Gigi-like fashion.

I have no doubt she's a dish. But I meant "dish!" as in "dish the details" or "e-mail me pictures". Argh!


GravatarWait, you've seen H20tiger's legs? Dish!
NTodd

watertig has legs??? Are there pics available???


GravatarWatertiger:
You must be socialist. You don't like pure apple pie either. You have to add cranberries. Multiculturalism is bad.


Gravatar But not as surprised as the people on the treadmills who were startled by my yelling "LIAR!" at the teebee.


I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that.

I'm more likely to mutter, "asshole."

I wish we had more reporters like Olbermann. Cause let's be serious- the news IS often absurd. Someone's gotta say so.

Holy shit. Chalabi says he has enough votes to take over as PM. That's enough to make me barf.


GravatarGreat how KO made the switch from sports to politics...it suits him well.


GravatarAtrios hates America that's why he has Japanese running shoes


GravatarA good Fuck Bush! to all. Bailing


GravatarI haven't seen one picture yet. And to think, I spend all my free time writing dreamy prose and verse about her on my blog. But to no avail.. where, oh where is the avail???


GravatarHoly shit. Chalabi says he has enough votes to take over as PM. That's enough to make me barf.


(((What?))) What did I miss?

Oh, and did something happen to EPT?


GravatarThough granted, she was wearing pants each time we met, in an un-Gigi-like fashion.

Hee heee. Assuming I'm not sprawled on a beach or snorkeling off a reef on 3/29, I shall wear a skirt for you. But no beret.

Oh, god. "A Mighty Wind" is on HBO.


GravatarWorse yet - what if I'm allergic to apples. I'm preordained to be a Dem? Aarrgh....the cognitive dissonance.

If you're allergic to apples, I suppose you have an excuse. It's a good excuse for any apple-pie-hating rt-winger.

Apple pie was the best thing my high-school cafeteria served. This was in the days before McDonald's.


GravatarI really heart Keith Olberman. In a big way.
Was away from the internet (gasp!) this afternoon, so Countdown was my update. I was laughing and doing a Snoopy dance in the living room while my friends looked at me funny. They aren't as political as me, but they love me anyway!
And Happy Birthday, Atrios! Enjoy 33, while it lasts.


GravatarNote to left wing LOSers. Get over it, you LOST.


GravatarChalabi says he has enough votes to take over as PM.

Sheeit.

Just cut out the fucking middleman and make him Senate Majority Leader al-fucking-ready.


Gravatarbo - please not a "good" fuck bush.


GravatarFuck Bush, y'all. I'm going to see The Gates in Central Park this weekend, then take in the live-action "Hairspray." Make sure to clean up after yourselves.


GravatarNote to left wing LOSers. Get over it, you LOST.

Nice blog


Gravatarskipping down: what does everyone think about this?

US soldiers traumatized by fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan are to be offered the drug ecstasy to help free them of flashbacks and recurring nightmares.

The US food and drug administration has given the go-ahead for the soldiers to be included in an experiment to see if MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, can treat post-traumatic stress disorder.

Scientists behind the trial in South Carolina think the feelings of emotional closeness reported by those taking the drug could help the soldiers talk about their experiences to therapists.

TTimes


Gravatardid olberman just have a clip of a 'liger', a lion/tiger mix? Isn't that what Napoleon Dynamite was doodling?


GravatarEvening, freethinkers
Ripley


If thinking were free, everyone would do it.


Gravataror should I say nice blogs? since there on the internets


GravatarBill Saletan opinining on Atrios?

Wow. Now there's someone whose opinon carries a whole lot of weight.

My hunch is that Saletan has "blog envy" over atrios. He knows atrios is a whole lot smarter than him, a whole lot more respected than him, and a whole lot more popular.

Fuck Saletan. He's an ass.


GravatarAssuming I'm not sprawled on a beach or snorkeling off a reef on 3/29, I shall wear a skirt for you. But no beret.

Me too!


GravatarApple pie was the best thing my high-school cafeteria served. This was in the days before McDonald's.

the only thing I remember about McDonald's apple pie is melting my tounge and teeth out of my mouth 'cuz it was still radioactive...

GravatarI think I'm turning in for the night (really fatigued.) I'm glad this story is getting airplay now. Who made the call on Guckannon's behalf? That is where this story hinges. Ari has already said he didn't feel comfortable calling on Guckannon. Scott says that he and Ari talked about Guckannon, GOPUSA News and GOPUSA (I thought Scott didn't remember anything about how Guckannon got into the White House?) This is rotten in Denmark. Connect the dots, trolls. Even you can see that this is something that should be investigated. How do we know Guckannon wasn't working for a foreign government? How do we know he hasn't been doing recon of the White House? No one bothered to investigate the guy.


GravatarChalabi says he has enough votes

The key phrase being "Chalabi says".

No doubt that's his wish, his and Judith's dream, because if he does not get the top dog position, his will be a very trying life henceforth, for however long, and some of the blowback could singe her, too.

Gravatarwatertig has legs??? Are there pics available???


Here ya go.


GravatarScientists behind the trial in South Carolina think the feelings of emotional closeness reported by those taking the drug could help the soldiers talk about their experiences to therapists.

Dating myself. Wasn't this basically Timothy Leary's theory of the usefulness of acid in therapy?


GravatarOn the note that they're giving our soldiers the "love drug" (which I did love!)

Good night my friends!


GravatarOlberman also got into the Thune and the paid bloggers angle too. Heh, heh, heh.
When it rains, it pours! And the GOP is gonna get soaked!


GravatarAnderson definately has been doing his homework. He's been reading Americablog, knew all the questions to ask. He did fall miserably short though in not pointing out that an ongoing illegal enterprise is not your private life.


GravatarMe too!
Thersites


Now you want to talk about legs! Whooo-boy!


GravatarPoor Clenis had his dick size noted, was possibly gonna have to drop his drawers

Sorry to raise the "ewwwwww" quotient here but...

All you falangist scum who are tut-tutting about the various crap you tut about: Because "the flag was falling!" Bill Clinton's erect penis was supposedly described in the New Yorker magazine. By the way, anybody remember that description? Did it make anyone else suspicious? Because it sure sounded to me like it came from a person who had never seen an erect human penis before. It was so unusual that surely someone could have, say, asked the former Miss Arksansas whether it was bullshit or not. But our vigilant press, ever on the case, didn't bother to follow up on the horseshit-sounding part of Paula's testimony that could possibly have shown her to be the liar she was. Remind you of anything else that happened today?


GravatarBTW: Happy Birthday, Atrios/Duncan (if that's your real name!) 33 is fun, but 30 was funner.


GravatarThanks, Hoyt!

My co-workers want to know why I'm always shutting down my screen when they walk in.

"Nuthin," is my usual answer.

What *will* they think of next? LSD to enhance reporting skills, maybe.


Gravatarcd, where did you get that report on the troops/E?

GravatarOoooh, watertiger, all of your legs are pretty. But your paws! Goodness!

I've put Arthur to bed, and now am just chuckling aimlessly about little Stringey and her bell and Incog being happy. It's nice, and it's nice defiantly. All the rest of this crap is enough to stress out a saint. It's probably true that we'll be girding ourselves to deal with it in the very near future - but for right this second, I like to think of little Stringey, rescued and cared for and loved.

GravatarOlbermann is too transparent, even for me.


GravatarI heard about the ecstacy as a treatment for PTSD this afternoon on the radio, but it was just a quick item.

I really, really hope if they do this, that it's on a very small group to start with, in very controlled circumstances. Something tells me they'll actually go with something like "let's throw whatever we have at anyone and hope for the best!"

In theory it's maybe plausible. But then again, I'm a fan of science, experiments and recorded results.

Gravatarthere's so much to life, sometimes i brings tears to my eyes to think about it:
Born Anne Marie Kunkel in Marshalltown, Iowa, she left town shortly after graduating from Le Grand High School. She trained as a medical technician in Minnesota and married Nathan Hale.

The job, and the drug-tolerant 1970s, encouraged her to try cocaine, methamphetamine and various street drugs that held her in thrall for nearly 20 years. Her addiction left her increasingly isolated as she withdrew from her friends, her family and her treasured cats.

-snip-

Upon receiving her master's degree, Hale continued her confrontational activism. She became president of the Colorado chapter of the National Organization for Women. She worked on coalitions advocating accessible, affordable health care, seniors' rights, women's rights, environmental causes and other issues.

Gravatargay sex simply way icker than cumstains on a young woman's blue dress.

Truthfully, I think the media is going to shy away from the "Gay" angle on this story, with exceptions here and there, of course. Why? Just a basic aversion to delving too deeply into the non-heterosexuality of it all. If we were talking about Janie Gannon, $200 Call Girl cum "journalist", I really think they'd be all over it. Remember, this isn't about news at all. This is Entertainment with non-zero Fact Content. The nets, Cable, and to a lesser extent the press have to consider the effect on their audience/resdership/ratings of whatever they show/write, and there is going to be a feeling that the "gay" aspect puts the whole thing somehow out of the bounds of good taste, or something equally as silly. Oh, and, they get letters, too...

GravatarDidn't see Cooper interview, but from comments, it looks like he blew it on asking the one question that will lead somewhere:

"How does a guy go from being a truck painter and internet hustler to covering the White House? That's quite a career jump. How did you first end up writing for GOPUSA, who hired you and when and how did you meet that person?"

Guckert is not a good liar; he can't answer these questions without implicating someone; and the question gets to the very heart of the matter: how is it that Jim Guckert, with no journalism training or experience, ended up where he did ahead of literally thousands of competent and eager trained journalists, at least some of whom are conservative?

That's the avenue that needs to be pursued, because it will lead to someone - and who that someone is connected with will lead somewhere, etc.

And at our camp/gym, we have kali classes, as well. I studied it for a little while, but had so much on my plate that I had to give it up. That is like dance, with the choreography involved. Whew.


Gravatarbartcop does seem to be all over this:

New evidence contradicts the Bush Administration's claims about "Jeff Gannon."
He was granted daily access to White House press briefings for more than two years as a "reporter" for Talon News.

Scott McClellan stated that Guckert (his real name) was granted access in part because he was affiliated
with a news organization that "publishes regularly." But yesterday, bloggers discovered video footage
suggesting this standard was not applied to Guckert. Video footage of a Feb. 28, 2003 White House press briefing
shows Guckert, apparently unaffiliated with any news organization, asking forked-tongue Fleischer a question.
It is unclear why Guckert was granted any pass at this time, since the Internet-based Talon News did not register
its domain name until March 29, 2003.

Maureen Dowd reported she was denied press credentials at the start of the Bush administration in 2001.
Yet Guckert, whose only journalistic training was derived from a $50 weekend seminar, was repeatedly granted access.


GravatarI reminded of a line in Romeo and Juliet. 20 bucks to whomever who can guess what it is.

GravatarYeah. I just saw the video of the CNN bit over at Crooks and Liars. At one point Cooper says that he wants to ask a question before he got to what Gannon wanted to respond to. I imagine that the questions about White House involvement were what he went there to deny. Remember, the guy has no problem lying, so...you know, he was probabally told to give an interview and distance himself from the WH.

GravatarHecate - leek and sweet onion quiche, warming in the oven.


GravatarO, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!


GravatarJust watched the Cooper thing on Liars and Crooks.

(1) He definitely went on with talking points (and therefore presumably with his master's permission); he just executed poorly. It it was easy to see when he was spouting them. Two areas were painfully obvious.

(2) One talking point was the name change thing. Twice he mechanically intoned "easier to pronounce, to remember, and to spell." The second time through on that one, he actually paused for a beat and rolled his eyes up on the "to remember" part as he did his rote regurgitation of the line.

(3) The second obvious talking point was about which things he could say and which he would forevermore refer to others (that's ominous for his lifespan over/under). He don't know nothing about press pass vetting, and refers us to Scott. He don't know nothing about specific dates (lamely saying he wasn't in his office, when he knew full well that he was going on TV to answer some time line questions). But he COULD say, "categorically," that he never saw any Plame memos. It was funny. He started the sentence like he was going to do the "don't know nuthin' 'bout" bullshit, and corrected himself (complete with eye blinking, and increased volume) to deliver the "categorical" denial. With that denial on the record, he can now have that autoerotic accident before he reconsiders.

(4) Cooper's "that's called faxing" line was great.

(5) He has no talent for "reporting" or dealing with questions whatsoever. Literally thousands of people had the "talent" and ideological inclinations to better serve the GOP as planted shills. Clearly, something else got him White House access. We have a feeling we know what that was.

(6) There was definitely editing. I'd like to see what didn't get aired. Not saying it was anything substantive-- I'd just like to see the uncut version.


GravatarHoyt,

This is my coach/trainer, Steve Milles.

He is the only person I know who wants to (and can) discuss politics with me in the ring while I'm trying to knock his block off. Good to see that Masters in Political Science is serving him well. And yeah, I usually want to vomit after an hour of training with him.

GravatarOK - here's the soliliquy. See if anyone can figure out what he's trying to get at.

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. (2.2.3)
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she. (2.2.6)
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off. (2.2.9)
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were! (2.2.11)
She speaks yet she says nothing; what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it. (2.2.13)
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks. (2.2.14)
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return. (2.2.17)
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night. (2.2.22)
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

Keep meaning to, but--snif!--he was mean to Emma Thompson!, so I still can't look at him.

Actually, all I can think of when I think of that line (other than my South African English professor's amazement when nobody in class got the pun) is Maximillian Schell saying it, and Crow T. Robot saying, "Shakespeare Blue!"


GravatarHecate,
I honestly don't think he's hired a lawyer. (and you're right, if he has hired one, s/he's incompetent.) This bit from E&P (via kos) is interesting:

Five days after telling E&P that he was no longer speaking to the press because it was not helping him, former White House reporter James Guckert, a.k.a Jeff Gannon, said today that he had changed his mind and was seeking the right media outlet to tell his side of the story.

Asked this afternoon about reports that he was scheduled to appear on the Anderson Cooper's CNN show tonight, he denied it strongly. One hour later, a CNN spokesman told E&P, "He's taping it right now."


Gravatarchicago dyke; I shortened it. Also formerly several different species of Goober, but I'm much better now...


Gravatar[video] Gannon: I changed it because GAN-non is easier to pronounce than GUCK-ert.

And I'm Keith Olbermann. Join us next time when Jim Miklaszewski, Christianne Ammanpour and George Stephanopoulos help us figure out which of JimmyJeff's two-syllable names is easier to pronounce.


GravatarJoby, I just got back in and saw your poor, poor, sweet Zeke. Of course he's beautiful, but I bet Athena owns him.

I got all excited, and had to go out and get coconut cream pie. Coconut cream pie... ggahhhhhh......

GravatarMissed the cat blogging post.

A while ago I asked about treed cats.
I must apologize for my resistance to the advice and comments of some the people who responded. (BigVic)
And some of the gentle ridicule: "Ever see a dead cat in a tree?"

Last nite the same cat went up the same tree, only higher.
We just went inside, with the attitude, she'll come down, even if it takes her getting so weak from hunger, she falls down.
Well, 15 mins later she's walking in the door.
(GF says, no, we went in, made love, and we came out to the kitchen for snacks and drink, then the kitty came in. So it couldn't have been more than a few mins. Har Har Har}.

So all y'all were right.

.


Gravatar(1) I'm almost certain that Guckert told E&P that he was being advised by a lawyer in that story in which he says he's not talking to the media.

(2) Any idea why he spoke to CNN instead of FoxNews? And if he was going to go on CNN, why didn't he demand Leslie Blitzer? Surely even DimJim could tell that it would be impossible to treat him more kindly than Leslie did.

(3) What Guckert needed to do was go on a blatantly biased show with a "questioner" who would simply take over and do all the talking if things got awkward. Limbaugh or Hannity, maybe.


Gravatar If he hasn't hired a lawyer he's too stupid to live.

Well, I'll tell you, I did not get a good vibe for his intelligence quotient watching Cooper. He was struggling to put sentences together.

As someone put it earlier today (snow, maybe?), JimJeff is a dead man walking.

No, but I'm fond of knitting. Whadya mean, am I a penguin? Herring is good - particularly in a nice wine sauce. Sour cream, okay.

Years ago, in LA, the most fun was had at Scandia restaurant - next door to Dino's on the Strip. Ooooh, the smorgasbricka at Scandia was beyond words, five or six kinds of herring, shrimps, cheese, lovely. A little aquavit, then maybe some shrimp stuffed Dover sole with a vodka white sauce, a nice bit of anise bread - for desert, apple cake covered with marzipan....

I love herring.


GravatarThe only way this story has legs is if someone knows which White House cock he was sucking.

NEW YORK Former Talon News reporter James Guckert obtained his first White House press credentials as a representative of the pro-Republican Web site, GOPUSA, not as a Talon News reporter, as previously believed, Press Secretary Scott McClellan told E&P today.

McClellan said White House Press Office staffers considered the openly partisan site to be a legitimate news organization when they gave Guckert, a.k.a. Jeff Gannon, the first of numerous day passes in February 2003.

"He faxed a letter in on his [GOPUSA] letterhead, they checked that it was a conservative news Web site he worked for," McClellan explained, referring to his staffers who handled such credentialing at the time. "There was a check to make sure it was a news organization and a news Web site. There was a determination made at that point [that it was legitimate]."

GravatarYeah, I thought I'd heard that he'd gotten lawyered up, too. However, no one I talked to today knew who he'd hired, and that's not exactly the sort of thing likely to stay secret in a small town like D.C. Plus, if he has a lawyer I can't imagine the lawyer allowing him to go on tv any more. But maybe I'm wrong.


GravatarWe need to start a pool on how long before Guckert gets whacked and it's blamed on a suicide. I say two weeks, tops.

Last thread.


GravatarIf he hasn't hired a lawyer he's too stupid to live.


I think the fact that he put his freaking nekkid pictures on the internet is ample evidence of that.


GravatarKeep meaning to, but--snif!--he was mean to Emma Thompson!, so I still can't look at him.

Hey, I was as bummed as anybody when they split. So sad after seeing them in so many good shows (including Dead Again).

Actually, all I can think of when I think of that line (other than my South African English professor's amazement when nobody in class got the pun) is Maximillian Schell saying it, and Crow T. Robot saying, "Shakespeare Blue!"

Oh, that's great. What was that, a 1960 German TV version on MST3K? Truly awful. And a great Crow moment. Ranks up there with my absolute fave: "Poison's still fresh...three days!" Oh shit, what was that epi? The one with the nuclear monster thing. Ohh, I'm gonna have to look at the Misty Epi Guide...

Anyhoo, what a wonderful pun. If only English teachers could talk about that in highschool--I doubt many kids would be bored then.


GravatarI don't think so, but you never know in the wild kingdom. Tigers are fairly solitary, but I hear that chimps can be real swingers. Several White House denizens and hangers-on seem to exemplify this.

Well, if she was waterchimp, I could just shave my head and she'd be fascinated for hours.


Gravatarmena, all pie is good - but we are not blessed with having all pies.... We must look at the ultimate pie and realise that it may not be ours....

Say, Marie Callender's is here in town tho.


GravatarBush is a liar fucking Guckert.
Vinnie


The incongruity in this whole thang, to me, is that we have here a gay man risking all in service of something he has no concievable use for; bush.


GravatarHahaha. I don't believe Cooper mentioned the gay angle at all. Funny how reporters get all shy and polite when wingers get into sex scandals.

anderson cooper's the last guy that's gonna be grilling someone about his sexual orientation, if you know what i mean. and i think you do.


Gravatarnobody in class got the pun

Oh, meant to say that Branagh enunciated the correct SYLlable very boldy, whilst laying his head on O's lap.


GravatarAnderson Cooper was a bad man. A bad man.


GravatarHecate, maybe we're both right. Maybe he said he had counsel, but was lying, or stretching. Come to think of it, he might have said that he "was talking to a lawyer," which ain't the same thing as retaing one.

He could have been "talking to a lawyer" when he asked for his $200 while on call last week.


GravatarThat's George Bush. Restoring honor and dignity to the White House, one prostitute at a time.


GravatarWhat I also find interesting is how Blitzer gave him such a softball interview.

You know, Schneider also works for CNN. And Guckert apparently did some writing that got into some AEI publication.

Perhaps the Blitzer interview occurred after Blitzer had a chance to confer with Schnieder, lying asshole that he is.

Perhaps, Guckert, thinking that CNN was on his side, expected more of the same type of treatment with Cooper.

What I really find interesting is that Cooper is supposedly gay. I can't help but think that Cooper, if he had any sense of dignitiy in him, would DETEST a guy like this for being willing to serve the anti-gay agenda of the right-wing while at the same time being gay himself.

Perhaps Guckert just failed to appreciate who he would be dealing with in Cooper. After all, from what I can gather from all of the comments, this Guckert doesn't strike me as the brightest bulb.


GravatarSmall world, you say? Even smaller than you thought:

Osama bin Laden -> mujahadeen/jihadis -> Reagan/Bush cohort


Gravatar"As an attorney, would you advise me to use the heat-up oil or butter?"


GravatarI agree that Faux would seem like the obvious port for this peckerwood. Makes you wonder if maybe Hume and them smell the doom on the poor retard, and figure that a lifeline now might get them entangled in a way they'd prefer to avoid.

Also makes you wonder why the CNN piece was not live, though obviously that was negotiated. Yes, knowing what was edited out would be fun.

One thing's certain: Guckert will never be interviewed by Olbermann, unless maybe Jimjeff pulls a 180 in the slammer. And by then, it would only be for the Oddball segment.

Gravatarwell, i don't know what to make of this (via DU):

AP) MOSCOW - Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that he is convinced Iran does not intend to develop nuclear weapons and said he plans to visit Iran.

Putin, at a meeting with Iranian National Security Council chief Hasan Rohani, also said Russia would continue its nuclear cooperation with Iran. Moscow has helped Iran build a nuclear reactor, a project that has been heavily criticized by the United States which fears it could be used to help Tehran develop nuclear weapons.


GravatarEven smaller, H....

Bush< - > Satan


Gravatarexactly, achn2b-Anderson Cooper's simply ain't gonna go there. That's what I've heard anyway....


GravatarRe: lawyering up,

"I talked to attorneys, and I am no longer talking to anyone [in the press] anymore," said Guckert, who has used the alias Jeff Gannon. [snip]

Guckert, who says he is 47, said he was not planning any specific legal action related to recent events but had contacted an attorney just in case. "It's always good to have an attorney hanging around," he told E&P. "I'm not expecting anything, I am just listening to good advice."


Gravatar"What I really find interesting is that Cooper is supposedly gay. I can't help but think that Cooper, if he had any sense of dignitiy in him, would DETEST a guy like this for being willing to serve the anti-gay agenda of the right-wing while at the same time being gay himself."

Yes, but. Anderson Cooper is the archetypical upper class American. Gay, straight, it doesn't matter, Cooper is who the Shrubbery have spent their measley, no-class lives trying to be. It hasn't anything to do with money of course - Cooper's mother is Gloria Vanderbilt for the love of God, and his father was Wyatt Cooper - these people he's dealing with are detritus. Cooper's actions and reactions are of his actual class, not the pretend one that the Shrubbery try so hard to be part of. He would never ever be -unkind-. Only concerned.


GravatarBush< - > Satan

GravatarYou speak wise words GWPDA. And it leaves me with more of this, to make up for missing out on what sounded like incredible oranges.

Mobile Phone Virus Found in United States

By Spencer Swartz

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The world's first mobile phone virus "in the wild" has spread to the United States from its birthplace in the Philippines eight months ago, a security research firm said on Friday.


The virus, called Cabir, has spread slowly into 12 countries and marks the beginning of the mobile phone virus era, which could one day disrupt the lives of many of the world's 1.5 billion mobile phone users.

The biggest impact of the relatively innocuous virus, found in about 15 variations so far, is draining mobile phone batteries, said Mikko Hypponen, director of Finnish anti-virus research company F-Secure

GravatarTJ,

That's great. So any terrorist who sets up a conservative website and gets some letterhead printed can get into the WH? Give me a fucking break. The same administration that had a freaking helicopter circling Dupont Circle every ten minutes for forty-eight hours during inauguration lets anyone with a website and stationery into the White House?


GravatarCD, I blame Bush. No real reason, I just basically blame him for any ill that befalls mankind or the world lately. I'm a cynic, sue me...


GravatarI don't think Bush was fucking Guckert.

It would be nice if he was and it came out, but I don't think that this will be the case.

As a very good bi-sexual friend of mine said about Bush, he's too fucked up with his own addictions to be able to give any expression to his sexuality one way or the other.

That's in line with my perception of Bush. The guy gives off NO sexual energy. He's almost an asexual presence. Probably because he's hitting the booze or doing some other drug on a regular basis.

To tell you the truth, I suspect that Bush hasn't had an oragasm for a long, long time--and in fact, has had not the desire to have one for a long, long time.


Gravatarmena - to-morrow is also a day. Oranges will be here again in December.


GravatarI just read an account of the debate held last night between Richard Perle and Howard Dean written by a left winger who attended the debate. The highlight of the report is when some 52 year old Democrat threw a shoe at Richard Perle while screaming "mother f****** liar" numerous times as the police dragged him out of the debate hall. He missed Mr. Perle, who took the incident in light fashion. I believe there were local TV stations there, so I would think the whole episode would be on tape. Ah, the Democrat Party at work!!! There is simply no plumbing the depth to which the American left has fallen.


GravatarSo now that it's cost NTodd $20 - aren't you obligated to get that new tat?

Damn straight. And I think the obligation carried on to pictures, as well. Hey, it's not my rule.

Gary Cole in "Office Space."

Ahh, I'm going to have to go ahead and ask you to post pictures of your legs and tattoo...

Speaking of Gary Cole, does anybody remember that short-lived TV show "Midnight Caller"? I loved that shit.

GravatarI blame Bush. No real reason, I just basically blame him for any ill that befalls mankind or the world lately.

I think it might qualify as a new proof of God's existence that the anti-Clenis is a guy named Bush.

Gravatar"lets anyone with a website and stationery into the White House?"

Well, I have those things, but you can't make me go to the White House. I don't have anything to wear for that kind of climate and what would I do about Arthur?

GravatarSo any terrorist who sets up a conservative website and gets some letterhead printed can get into the WH?

I really think it's time for a lefty blogger to call them on this bluff. If it's that easy, then Atrios or Markos or Aravosis should head over there for a day pass.


GravatarSpeaking of Gary Cole, does anybody remember that short-lived TV show "Midnight Caller"? I loved that shit.

Absolutely. That was a great show.

And now all this talk of pies and fresh oranges has made me very hungry. Time to make dinner.

--fda, I know what you mean.

--I'm really disappointed that someone didn't take out a .357 magnum and blow Perle away on state. What cowards these leftists are.

--As it is, they couldn't even hit the sick fuck's head with a shoe.

--Yeah, I'm disappointed as well that they didn't do a more effective job in taking this fucker out and giving him what he deserves.

--I share your pain.


GravatarGWPDA,

The WH is no place for a lady these days. Let's just wear our white gloves and pearls for tea at the Willard and ignore that den of iniquity down the street.


GravatarWho you callin a partisan media whore - Keith?

Keith you ignorant misguided slut.


Gravataroooh, NTodd, you hadn't heard about the Portland Shoebomber? I am so jealous of this guy. What I wouldn't give for an open forum where we could throw shit at these assholes who led us into this war (where, btw, 29 more Iraqis and 4 more US soldiers were killed today).

It was on CNN international earlier but I think they've pulled it from the website. Someone who was at the debate posted a diary at Kos, too.


Gravatarsing it, ntodd. links are their eternal weakness.

well, all, i'm off to dancing. and then bed. i hope everyone here remembers that men sucking cock is totally OK, and that no matter what jeff did for pay, we'll accept him here in the lefty blogo/actual world. 'cause we're compassionate like that and all.

and for the night crew (and myself as i'll read it later): what really happened today? as in news that matters to the rest of the world, and not just the beltway watchers? jeff's wonderfully productive hole isn't the end all be all of the planet, i'm sure.


Gravatarholy crap -- that transcript sure went up fast. it usually takes a day at least.


GravatarOlbermann is a bad man, baaaaad man.

You're right. They should have waved their purple fingers at him or thrown freedom fries.


Gravatarthat transcript sure went up fast. it usually takes a day at least.

It was a pre-taped interview. They had a 90-minute jump on transcribing it.


GravatarSuch disappointment to us all. And I, who have been waiting here all day for the Qwest guy to come and notice that the copper wire connexion on the telephone pole at the back of the property is (a) wet and (b) should be fixed, only to see that the Wireman never cometh, will bid adieus. No blood was double drawn from this household in anticipation of the holiday weekend - no shopping was done, no pies were made and no explanations were offered. But to-morrow is also a day and perhaps that's where all the goodness lies.

Night-night


GravatarCooper's mother is Gloria Vanderbilt?
Where have I been? I never knew that.


GravatarThere is simply no plumbing the depth to which the American left has fallen.

I can say GANNON GUCKERT VALERIE PLAME NO WMDs NO NEXUS BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE IN U.S. ten times for every tired bullshit story you drag out about something some guy did somewhere.

Meanwhile your president and your administration are screwing the pooch. They make the most incompetent Democratic administration you can name look like the age of Pericles. And their fuckups aren't some guy throwing a hissy. Your guys are endangering the security and the philosophical foundation of this country, with every move they make.

And it's okay for you to refuse to call us "democratic." Because you're not "republican." Falangists like you destroy republics.


GravatarThinking about this some more, it seems to me that the way they are going to try to bury this story is by blaming some incompetent staffers at the WH Press Credentialing Office.

"We're sorry that this happened, folks and we intend to completely overhaul how press passes are distributed"--thereby paving the way for restricting access to the WH even more...


GravatarOK:
White House credential rules state that reporters may only obtain credentials if they represent a news organization that "regularly publishes" -- which would have eliminated Talon News in February 2003, as it did not exist then.
http://www.editorandpublisher.co...com/eandp/news/
article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000808705

Somebody pulled strings or something for gannon.

"When asked if his office should assign more than one full-time person to handle credentialing, he did not believe it was necessary. "There is one person who has primary responsibility for it and there is another who provides support if needed," he said. "It is essentially the same setup that was used in the Clinton administration.""

Who is the one person that is responsible for credentialing reporters? That's one person that can move this along.


GravatarIgnore the Brownshirts for Atrios' B-day.

This PSA brought to you by the good folks at Troll Chow.

"Troll Chow - what the freep?!? This freep tastes like freepin freep!!"


GravatarHecate, I do believe you're correct. Mark your card for me and I'll meet you there. I'm sure the bellman and Arthur will find something to do.


GravatarBy the way, India Time or Asia Times (I forget which one now) announced today that the following countries are forming a mutual defense and economic cooperation pact:

1. Russia
2. China
3. India
4. Venezuela

Pretty cool, huh?

So, let's see . . . .

The EU is talking about forming its own joint military force apart from NATO.

Iran and Syria have now announced a mutual defense pact.

And now countries that between them hold nearly half the world's population and an incredible amount of nuclear power, raw energy supplies, and up and coming economies, are also uniting.

More evidence that Bush truly is a "uniter."

And the amazing thing is, that he's too stupid to appreciate what it all means, but is instead being manipulated by Cheney, Rumsfeld and the neocons.

Fuck. America's goose is going to be cooked soon enough.


GravatarSpeaking of different pies and what's in them (and no pie in time or space eats better than my grandmother's huckleberry pie), I'm reminded of a bit on The Great American Dream Machine, when Marshall Efron labelly deconstructs a Sara Lee Lemon Merengue Pie, to the punch line of "no lemon, no merengue, all pie".

Too bad TV died, sorta.


GravatarIf it's that easy, then Atrios or Markos or Aravosis should head over there for a day pass.

Just occurred to me, and since I don't have TeeVee, I have no way of knowing; How are the comedians handling l'affaire Gannon? Oughtta be billion risque lines in this thing, but is the "gay" angle putting the stifle on it? Has Leno done anything? Has Letterman done a top 10 List on him? I'm gonna guess no, and I betcha it don't happen. This story is gonna be ignored to death, unless Gannon gets caught in bed with Snotty, or something. And maybe even then.


GravatarNFW! That really happened?

I know, isn't it awesome? According to the Kossack, the guy had to be dragged from the room, all the while screaming, "Motherfucking Liar, Motherfucking Liar" over and over.

Yeah, uniting against us. If Bush has his way, we will be the next North Korea. When his supporters wanted to close the borders, I didn't think it meant to keep American's out. Oh well, with the falling dollar, we will not be able to go anywhere anyway.

Earlier tonight Tucker Carlson was on PBS with his new rightwing show and now, Paul Gigot, an editor at the fascist WSJ is on with a gaggle of wingnuts discussing the "lack of diversity in America's universities!"

Translated from fascist-speak what that means is: We rightwingers who control the government and the media cannot allow universities to permit dissent and open minded discussion of issues, because eventually these professors and intellectuals might create enough people that can think and realize that we are their enemies!

Let's hope not, but I wouldn't write their obituary just yet.

As the corporate media continues to provide irrelevent news or palpable propaganda they will become less and less popular. People will resort to bloggers or niche' magazines to tell them what's actually happening.

The relevency of the corporate media died many years ago, it just doesn't know it yet.

GravatarThersites is a blanc-mange?
(waiting to see who gets that reference...)


GravatarThersites, I thought you said phlegm-bot, not flan-bot. Now I'm all confuzzled.

I beg your pardon.

Are you calling me some sort of con man, a grifter, even maybe a phlegm-flan artist?

Shocked I am!


GravatarI'm not as cute as watertiger.

Thus far we have absolutely no evidence of that, whilst we have a picture of you and your darling kids. NYMary 4, watertiger 0. I mean, I'm no good at math, but that's my count.


GravatarNYMary, she's adorable! Enjoy


GravatarNYMary had dark blue eyes.

Say it with me: Elizabeth Taylor. Only sane.


GravatarThersites is a blanc-mange?

*gasp*

He means to win Wimbledon!


GravatarIn the interest of fair exchange, it's time for LJ to post a pic. She said she was a homecoming queen.

And would-be tennis champion?


GravatarAre you calling me some sort of con man, a grifter, even maybe a phlegm-flan artist?

Just don't clear your throat in our general direction...


GravatarIt's just another example of the phlegming of America... or.. flanning of America... or umm... Freedom Flan!!

Yeah, Freedom Flan! Suck that, Iran!!


GravatarOK, to see me, click homepage.

mary, yer very plenty really cute!


GravatarIf you people would just bear with me while I try to figure out this new fucking uploading program...Jesus Joseph and NYMary!

I don't think Bush was fucking Guckert. It would be nice if he was and it came out, but I don't think that this will be the case. As a very good bi-sexual friend of mine said about Bush, he's too fucked up with his own addictions to be able to give any expression to his sexuality one way or the other. That's in line with my perception of Bush. The guy gives off NO sexual energy. He's almost an asexual presence.

JJ/GG advertised as a dominant top. Bush strikes me as the sort of guy who- in the privacy of his own dungeon- might get off on playing a submissive role. Consider his upbringing and his abusive parents.

Men in power often like to be dominated in roleplay games- the greater the power, the greater the kink.


GravatarNYMary -

You are stunning. Beautiful!

Angus Podgorny, Whay do ye mean!?!


GravatarOn a completely unrelated note, I'm known for my excellent muscle rubs.


How the FUCK am I supposed to get any work done around here?!?!?!

I was going to make some Tab A, Slot B reference... but she's so angry I fear for my Tab A. Wait.. I just..hmm.. nevermind...


GravatarI am not a blacmange! Nor a number! I am a Free Man!

(Exit, chased by a giant flan named Rover)


GravatarOh, great, now you're a flim-flam-bot? O, Thersites, will this web of deceit never end? Have you no shame?


GravatarI am not an animal. I am a MAN!!!


GravatarNYMary,

You look very familiar. I could swear we've met somewhere.


GravatarIt's a good pic, I'll admit. I'm not actually that cute. Rosie is, though.


GravatarI am not a number!

It's more a digit thing.


GravatarNTodd,
When in March?


I'm teaching on 3/8 and 3/9, and was planning on heading down a bit early (mebbe the weekend). I want to spend some time taking springish pics of NYC, 'specially Central Park (even though I think The Gates are going to be gone by then).

I think I'm going to be staying in Times Square again (usually the Hilton or the Doubltree). I don't have the location info yet (sometimes it's 1095 Avenue of the Americas, sometimes it's E38th, and sometimes it's at MetroTech in Brooklyn).

I don't know my way around all that well, but I love eating at the Pig'n'Whistle on W47th. Mmm...shepherds pie...).


GravatarIf you people would just bear with me while I try to figure out this new fucking uploading program

Are you using Hello/Bloggerbot, by any chance?

I get it! I was just watching that DVD (I have the box set) the other day...


GravatarWikipedia doesn't waste any time!

GravatarHow the FUCK am I supposed to get any work done around here?!?!?!

Not my issue. We hunks who give muscle rubs are only tasked with a few simple things: being hunky, and giving muscle rubs. Work is not part of our function.


GravatarBy the way, when does Guckster claim Born Again status, knobs about with Falwell and then we elect him president?


GravatarBill Maher's off to a good start.


GravatarIt's a good pic, I'll admit. I'm not actually that cute.

stop- it is, you are, but in that photo- yer eyes don't agree with your smile...


GravatarIn the interest of fair exchange, it's time for LJ to post a pic. She said she was a homecoming queen.

It is only fair. It doesn't even have to be with one of them truncheons she featured today.


Gravatarstranger,
Hmmmm. What do you do?

I think of myself as a bizarre amalgam of Janeane Garofalo, Monica Lewinsky, and Christina Ricci. But I could be wrong.


GravatarNYMary

You really want to cover all the bases tehre.


GravatarIt's a good pic, I'll admit. I'm not actually that cute.

===========

Well, you pretend really good!


GravatarEk, I *said* it was bizarre....


GravatarHmmmm. What do you do?

Big question. I do web development now, but I was a die-hard musician well into the early 90s. Also did radio syndication for a few years, edited adult video for a while, and other far more menial jobs than I'd care to discuss.

I think of myself as a bizarre amalgam of Janeane Garofalo, Monica Lewinsky, and Christina Ricci. But I could be wrong.

I can see all three. Pretty good description.


GravatarNYMary

I didn't say it was bad.


Gravatarstranger,
Well, there's really only about four or so flavors of Irish women. I'm definitely a type. Also in the academy. So, as Peter Cook says in Bedazzled, "There's a lot of me in everyone."


GravatarAny day now...
alt.binaries.erotica.eschaton.post.youself.nude
You just watch.


GravatarWell, there's really only about four or so flavors of Irish women. I'm definitely a type.

And one of the tastier ones, at that.


GravatarLarry Summers, a former Clinton Treasury Secretary, is no less liberal than his fellow university presidents. But unlike most of them, he believes that scholarship ought to hold a higher place on a university campus than political conformity. He forced out the embarrassingly preening Cornel West. He has challenged Harvard's easy grading standards. He even - in what may be his finest moment - chided Harvard for its lack of respect for the military. Speaking in November 2001 at the Kennedy School's annual Public Service Awards dinner, Summers addressed K-School dean Joe Nye directly:

"Joe, I hope that when you have this award next year, among those who will be recognized will be those who have served our country in uniform. Because I think we need to remember that of all the kinds of public service, there is a special nobility, a special grace to those who are prepared to sacrifice their lives for our country. And if these terrible events and the struggle that we are now engaged in once again reignite our sense of patriotism--reignite our respect for those who wear uniforms and bring us together as a country in that way--it will be no small thing." (Alas this hope went unfulfilled.)

The best verdict on Summers comes from the great Harvey Mansfield, who is quoted in today's Journal story: "He is being attacked for his strengths and not for his defects."

Let me add one more reflection: The corruption of the universities is a terrible shame upon the United States and a cause of profound sadness among American conservatives. When we complain about the abuses on campus, it is not out of glee at scoring a point against an ideological opponent, but out of terrible regret that some of the most essential institutions of this great country - the institutions at which learning and inquiry ought to be honored and served - have so often perverted their best natures to serve bad causes.

Fuck off, troll.


GravatarNYMary,

BTW, your kids are beautiful, too. finally got round to clicking those links.


GravatarOkay, in the new whack a mole game you squash Iraq and Lebanon pops up, you smack the Lebanese proxies and Syria pops up, you smack Syria and Iran pops up, you smack Iran and Russia pops. You smack Russia and all of a sudden Karl Rove is riding a phallic symbol like Slim Pickens, and I don't mean Jeff Gannon.

Make a straight path for the Lord.

GravatarSWR, in honor of Duncan's b-day, Troll Chow™ hasn't purchased any ad time for tonite's thread.


GravatarWell, alrighty then. I *finally* settled on a name for my blog, and staked my claim on it. Now all I need are some topics...


GravatarDown, you dogs! I am a possessive flan, a most jealous custard.

Clean sheets, anyhoo.


GravatarNYMary, yer gorgeous.
Truly. Accept it!


GravatarRobin Williams is killin on Gannon on Mahr


GravatarMaher says there's a mole in the WH-or more appropriately, a gerbil.

More to the point, did the book
arrive yet?

If so, when you talk about it,
and you will, please be kind*



*get the allusion and all bets are
off.


GravatarThers,

You got a nice looking family, truly.

Not bad for a blancmange...


GravatarEvenin', Mr. Simels.


GravatarTwo post question/suggestion - write to Maher and get Dean on his show!


GravatarSpeaking of NYC in March, my wife just gave me an invitation/pass she got from Craig Blacklock (photog who shot this book my wife gave me for Xmas) for a show at the Independent Artists Pavilion on 34th and 11th. It ends on Sunday, 3/6, so I HAVE to travel to NYC on Saturday.

And Robin Williams is making me laugh on Mahrer.


GravatarMaher drops the ball on Summers. Takes the 'crank' position.


GravatarMaher, rather. No, not Dan.


GravatarYou got a nice looking family, truly.

Hee hee. I know it. I am the outlier, trust me.


GravatarHey stranger:

call me steve or I'll start calling
you mr. stranger.

And as somebody said in the Texas
Chainsaw Massacre,
there ain't no need for that.



GravatarTo tell you the truth, I suspect that Bush hasn't had an oragasm for a long, long time--and in fact, has had not the desire to have one for a long, long time.

Jeremiah Elias, I believe you to be 100% on target.

This guy is a drunk, and if anything cracks his carefully constructed (and enforced) image, this will be it. Some news will finally break out about how he is STILL drinking, and no one will be able to blame it on pretzels.

SD


GravatarDown, you dogs! I am a possessive flan, a most jealous custard.

Get yer own. We got ours now.


Gravatarsteve,
I'm having this bizarre argument on IM with a guy who says The Beatles suck and the Kinks are the shit. What do you think?


GravatarSorry, Steve. Won't happen again...

So, a friend of mine from LI got the gig playing bass for the Queen/Paul Rodgers thing that's touring this year (John Deacon opted out).

How Rodgers is gonna sing Queen stuff is kinda beyond me. Or they'll do half a night of Free and BadCo....


GravatarHas anyone heard of a supposed video that had been online of Bush drunk at a wedding in the early 90's?
I worked with someone who swore he saw it.
I don't know if I believe it.


GravatarI'm having this bizarre argument on IM with a guy who says The Beatles suck and the Kinks are the shit. What do you think?

If you want to get under his skin, bring up Jimmy Page playing the leads on the early singles (might not be true, but it sure bothers the crap out of Kinks Fans).


Gravatarscout prime,

I saw the video.
Crude quality, crude subject matter.
Shrub is an ass in it and he appears to slur some words, but then that standard fare.


Gravatarscout prime,

I've seen it. Bush is obviously a little tipsy, cracking stupid jokes. The sycophants around him laugh their asses off for some reason.


GravatarI'm having this bizarre argument on IM with a guy who says The Beatles suck and the Kinks are the shit. What do you think?

I think that Twiggy is edgy and LBJ shouldn't run in '68.


Gravatarstranger,
damn, you're good. Worked like a charm.


GravatarThe Beatles suck and the Kinks are the shit. What do you think?

...tell the little shit he sucks


GravatarBush video

Without knowing more specifics I
couldn't even venture a guess.

I will say, however, (and stop me
if I've said this here before) that
there is a small subspecies of
humanity to whom I sometimes
subscribe that believes Waterloo
Sunset is the most gorgeous song
written in English in the second half
of the 20th century.


Stranger:
Queen and Paul Rogers? Who's getting
billed and how?


GravatarStony,
Well, this person is dead serious, so....


GravatarWell I'll beeeeeeeee.

So it is true.
Anyone know if it it still around.

Sober my ass


GravatarHeh.

Don't get me wrong - I love Dave Davies. But those singles really do sound like Pagey and his Telecaster...

That first Kinks album was really good - but how many British Invasion first albums weren't?


GravatarI'm of Irish extraction...someone made what appeared to be a flattering remark about Irish women...


GravatarMaher says Iraqi election will change things. 'The Republicans picked the Democrats pocket on the issue of freedom'. Not one person mentions how the elections were forced by Sistani.


GravatarQueen and Paul Rogers? Who's getting
billed and how?


It's Queen (Roger and Brian) with Rodgers singing and a guy named Danny Miranda playing bass.

I know, it sounds weird. But it's for real.

How the hell is Rodgers gonna touch anything in Freddie's higher range?

Oh, and put me down as a big lover of 'Waterloo Sunset.' Ray lost me shortly after that, tho.


GravatarNYMary: nice photo, very familiar indeed- lot of Irish in my family tree too- Thersites, thankfully, is *not* a type I recognize (do you watch a lot of TV?)

watertiger remarked this AM in a comment she made to Tena that she was mentally 15 years old.

which is about right-- she brings out the fourteen-and-a-half year old in a lot of us guys (shakes head, smiles ruefully and resolves to avoid next high school reunion)


GravatarMaher says Iraqi election will change things.

Well of course the elections had an impact. That's like saying that the U.S. military will defeat Saddam's military. No shit.

The question is, will the elections signal real progress toward what is the *latest* White House goal in Iraq?
Which, until they change their story again, is a functional, multi-factional representative government.

They sure now how to *destroy* one of those. Let's see how capable they are at building one.


Gravatar But those singles really do sound like Pagey and his Telecaster...

It was. Paige's guitar was all over British R&R Radio, but he was still Jimmy Who?


GravatarStranger:
Trust me, those solos are Dave.

Here's Ray on the subject:


"Look, my brother Dave hasn't got
too much going for him, but to try to
take that stuff away from him is
bullshit. He invented that guitar
sound. I wrote the song, but it
wouldn't have been anything without
his work....
Jimmy Page thinks he's the first
person in the world to put a B
string where a G string should be,
which for me is his only claim to
fame. Other than that, I think he's
an asshole."


For the record, the only reason
anybody thinks Page played those
solos is because he made an obscure
solo single on the Kinks label in
the Kinks style.


GravatarPosted this above:

NTodd and all, if you're out there, sorry. Eli caught a glimpse of the elusive watertiger, but i'm having some weird flickr/epson glitches. Can't get the photo to appear on my page.

And now I've got a freakin' knot between my shoulders from hunching over this desk, trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Gah.


And Ripley, this means you, too!


Gravatarsteve,

That settles it, then.

I stand by what I said about that first album. It was so goddam exhuberant.

I remember seeing them on Shindig! (Remember that show?) They wore cool jackets, and Dave played a Flying V. First time I ever saw that guitar, and my eyes nearly fell out of my head.


GravatarHow Ray Davies never got murdered by his brother is one of the Great Mysteries of the Sea.


Gravatarsteve simels; I've long since lost/given away my copy of a book about Led Zep I read in the '80s, the title of which even escapes me, but that's where I read the bit about Paige doing a lot of session work, and being responsible for their early-singles guitar sound. More fucked-up R&R "biography"?


GravatarStranger:

Speaking of great first Brit Invasion
albums.

I think I posted something about
this months ago, but believe it
or not the first album by the
pre-Cosmic Moody Blues (with
Denny Laine, not whats his face
from Nights in White Satin)
is one of the best white r&b albums
of its day.

Go Now, James Brown's I Go Crazy,
and lots more.
f


GravatarMary = foxy!


Gravatarthe first album by the pre-Cosmic Moody Blues

Ah, yes. 'Go Now' was a great single. Never listened to the entire album, tho.

And what they turned into! Talk about sinking under your own weight...


GravatarI love the smell of desperate trolls in the evening.


GravatarThersites,

I actually got to see a Ray-Dave punchup, on stage at the Spectrum in Philly.

Most of the crowd thought they were joking, but Ray was drunk and passed a remark about Dave being out of tune and all hell broke loose. Good times....


GravatarDoozer:

Hammer of the Gods?


And Page did more session work
than you and I have had hot meals.
That's never been in dispute.

The solo single -- and its very bad,
I've heard it on a bootleg -- was
called She Just Satisfies.


GravatarWell, the argument was fairly retarded, but man was he needled by the Paige thing!

Thanks for all your kind words and help, guys!


Gravatarmaher is a gasbag.


GravatarStranger:
Would you care for a fifteen minute
CD-rom of extremely high quality
video of the Yardbirds with Page
on German TV in 1968?

Burn me that Easybeats video and
we could trade!!!!


GravatarWell, the argument was fairly retarded, but man was he needled by the Paige thing!

Cool. That type of argument is one without a winner, so the best you can hope for is pissing off your opponent.


GravatarEntirely off the subject, but the Dean bat over at ActBlue still isn't full. Anyone got an extra 15k lying around?

Just thought I'd mention it.


Gravatarstranger,
Say yes to the Yardbirds! It's worth it!


GravatarSteve,

Deal! I'll try to burn it for you tomorrow. We can trade addresses via email.

(PS: I'm a Zep fan, but my fave Yardbird was always Beck. That man kicks guitar's butt.)


GravatarLong as you're on the British invasion - I just got to see the Finn brothers again this week here in Boulder, and during their banter between songs they somehow started talking about drummers; they had only a bass player with them for the show. Tim Finn was playing guitar and had two small drums set up for his feet, on which he launched into a bit of Glad All Over after singing the praises of Dave Clark!

Unintentionally funniest moment for me was explaining to my friend that Neil Finn had not said he'd been influenced musically by seeing John Mayer at the Ogden (a venue in Denver), but rather John Mayall in Auckland!


GravatarStranger;

Way cool. I'll burn it tomorrow.

Probably can't mail it til after
Presidents day, but what the hey.


Let's exchange actual addresses
tomorrow.

PS: Beck -- better guitarist. Page --
better dancer.


Gravatarmaher is a misogynist.


GravatarMayer is the lamest singer/songwriter
in history.

Alone, he's worse than Batdorf and
Rodney or Zager and Evans.


GravatarI just got to see the Finn brothers again this week here in Boulder

Damn. Never seen any of the Finns in any of their bands.

And I'll put 'Don't Dream It's Over' in the same category as 'Waterloo Sunset' - songs that just, well, evoke. When that song gets to the Hammond solo, it almost makes me want to cry.

Steve -

Page - better dancer, Beck - better mechanic.


Gravatarthe first album by the
pre-Cosmic Moody Blues (with
Denny Laine, not whats his face
from Nights in White Satin)
is one of the best white r&b albums
of its day.


Is that when they were the Magnificent Moodies? Their wicked early stuff is a blur for me.


GravatarThe scandal-plagued Bush administration.


GravatarYes, you can find the best information HERE IF YOU WANT

GravatarYes, you can find the best information HERE IF YOU WANT

.......


GravatarMayer is the lamest singer/songwriter in history

Not my finest moment, but I actually saw Mayer do a set as part of a radio conference back in August. Scads of screamy-bopper girls clotting the place, all of whom left before the main attraction for which I (and the other adults) had come- Cake, previewing their new album.

Also, I have to agree with Waterloo Sunset's greatness. I only saw them once, back around Give The People What They Want, and Ray and Dave were behaving.


GravatarI really hate the 'all business, all the time' we're in. Wireless companies are the scourge of the earth, in my not very humble opinion.

We joined Cingular 29 days ago, something that as AT&T Wireless customers, we'd have had to do anyway. Since then, we've had two phones break and third one is showing signs of trouble. My husband was sent on a wild goose chase to a Cingular store to exchange his, only to be told that, since he purchased it over the phone, that he had to exchange it that way.

Cingular then demanded that I give my credit card number so that they could charge me for the new phone and then credit the charge back out when the old one was received. I was pissed but went with it (and I will be watching my credit card bill carefully).

My daughter's phone died tonight, and I called them. They offered to exchange the phones, but said that i would first have to send the old phone in and then a new one would be sent. I told them at that point I wanted to cancel the service. Of course, that has to be handled by a separate department that doesn't get in till tomorrow morning...

Not only that, when we migrated from AT&T, we were charged origination fees from Cingular, despite the fact that no one had any say in Cingular's takeover of AT&T.

And the Regime opposed any regulation in terms of billing, posting of payments, etc., of the wireless industry.

Sorry for the rant. If this is supposed to be a 'service economy,' where the hell is the service?


GravatarAs for Mayer being the lamest songwriter that ever lived: even the Aquabats were better than he is.


GravatarAs for Mayer being the lamest songwriter that ever lived: even the Aquabats were better than he is.

Are you suggesting that mothers shouldn't be good to their daughters? Or that your body isn't a wonderland?


GravatarHammer of the Gods?

Mmmmm, could be. I remember the book was somewhat critical of the band, specifically that they would cover blues songs without crediting the original artists.
I'm not really sure why I read the book, as LedZep just never really turned my light on, so to speak. Guitar-wise, Justin Hayward (remember him?) was always more to my taste. I wrote him an e-fan letter once telling him to take Frank Zappa's advice, and Shut Up & Play Yer Guitar. And, golly, he never replied...


GravatarJeffCo, I totally subscribed the Slacker Manifesto as a parent. Today, my daughter proudly proclaims herself as liberal feminist.

Granted, the Aquabats concerts when she was 11 were a bit painful.


GravatarAs for the body not being a wonderland, well...I'm nearly 50 and one look at our homepage will tell you that Im not exactly the stuff of fantasy.

My daughter, on the other hand, she might be...


GravatarSo I see the Easybeats have come up again...


GravatarI pretty much lost my taste for Led Zeppelin back around '74 or '75 (I think) when their manager got into an altercation with some of Bill Graham's stagehands at a concert in SF and ended up beating the shit out of (at least) one of them. Graham was furious and went live on KSAN just ripping Zep an entire set of new assholes. Pretty brave stuff at the time, considering how popular Led Zep was and how such matters usually aren't aired in public, but Graham, for all his faults, could be a stand-up guy when he needed to...


GravatarSo I see the Easybeats have come up again...

Yeah, Simels and I are swinging a video trade - he gets that Easybeats vid, I get the German Yardbirds vid...


Gravatar"The second scandal is still unfolding. It involves the expose of a largely homosexual prostitution ring in the Washington, D.C. area.

Already there have been banner headlines about some Reagan and bush administration officials' involvement.

In the news about this second scandal are reports of bugged rooms, two-way mirrors, blackmail and midnight tours of the White House by teams of homosexual prostitutes.

Five hundred credit card receipts for sexual services rendered are in the possession of The Washington Times, which broke the story.

Reportedly, a lobbyist who spent as much as $20,000 per month on male prostitutes for himself and friends gave and $8,000 Rolex watch to a White House Secret Service officer who gave him access to the White House West Wing, which contains the President's Oval Office.

The White House liaison for the U.S. Labor Department was implicated and has already resigned."

The Guckert thing in South Dakota reminded me.


GravatarIf Atrios is a raging left-wing blogger, then what are rush, coulter, malkin and ingraham?

Atrios barely rages - in my eyes, Duncan is as sane as a psychiatrist.

Just because Atrios will write the work 'fuck' in a headline to a blog post makes him a rager?

but those bile-filled liars mentioned above are simply good-mericans?
