Fuck Bush and the Whores in and out of the White House
Guckit2me
Ahhhh, fresh thread.
Dig we must.
Yummy. Smell of fresh thread.
Is this legal?
http://cryptome.org/negro-eyeball.htm
I disagree with the sentiment "Fuck Bush."
I think that's much too good for him and his whole crew.
I much prefer "Sodomize Bush."
Or how about this: "Abu Graib Bush"
Maher is kicking ass on JimmyJeff
DID HE BLOW THE PRESIDENT?
Eleventeenth!
Evening, late nite freethinkers
Atrios, you crafty and compassionate devil, you.... Happy B-day!
Guckert's a top, and as Jon Stewart says, it's not gay if you're the guy...
Williams just nailed Uncle Carl -- fucking awesome!!
Bill Maher FUCKING ROCKS
"Whitehouse has ties with gay prostitution" - Maher
I think it's gay. My little soldier does, too.
Eleventeenth! Happy Birthday Atrios. We miss you at Bartchat!
Post a poor guy some Maher, will ya? I'm sans cable here....
Mahers da man.
The Maher, the merrier.
I don't know why, but maher makes me think of snails.
wait...you say there b-jobs at the WH, well i know a guy who knows a guy who blows some guys...
Two post question/suggestion - write to Maher and get Dean on his show!
Im in a gret mood tonight. Watching Bushs house of cards falling down is just great. I havent felt this good since the last time I was laid.
A little peace to send everyone off to bed? Why not?
Security
Yesterday when I was waiting at the medical laboratory for my turn
to be abused, I sat in the waiting room. Since most of the
magazines were of the senseless and largely vacuous variety, I sat
quietly and examined the patients. At this early hour of the
morning, most of the chairs had been taken. I looked at the people
sitting there and wondered what they were there for.
Most were average people on their way to one task or another. A few
were older and some were younger, but most were about the same age
as I am. There was one exception: a woman, with a toddler sleeping
on her lap. I looked at her child, a little boy, and I thought I
had found the perfect picture of contentment. The toddler with
tousled black hair and perfect face, rested so easily on her lap
with his little head on her chest that I envied him his peace.
Occasionally, I stole glances to see if he had moved. Although by
the end of my waiting time, I had done so many times -- I was never
rewarded for my efforts. He remained stationary in that finest
sanctuary ever devised -- his mother. I stole a couple of glances
at the boy's mother and the picture was totally different. Although
at first appearance, she seemed a little old to have a child of
this age, upon closer examination, I could tell that she was still
very young. Examining her it was easy to tell the years had not
been kind.
Life's little lessons had been beaten into her and she showed their
results in every part of her being. Her hair was disheveled and
badly colored. It appeared more as straw than hair. Her clothes
were clean but old and unstylish. As she sat I wondered how she
could not place her arm around the little boy to protect him
further. As I watched, I worried about the little one. What if he
were startled? Could she react quickly enough to keep him from
falling? How could she resist having him trust her so completely?
Didn't she know those precious years when we are our children's
world pass so quickly they are almost without substance? Just a
passing phase on our way to being old. Still she sat with her arms
at her side while her child enjoyed a peace I can only envy.
But isn't that the way it is? We are soon torn from our safe homes
and thrust into the world. Obligations and responsibilities will
overwhelm us. We will lose our way many times and have to find our
way alone. Still, the little boy slept on. Who could not envy the
him enjoying his rest in mother's arms?
This would seem to be the WSJ article from 10/17/03:
http://www.cryptome.org/plame-memo.htm
And the freepi were discussing it the same day.
So that bit of Guckannon's story seems to hold up. Now, how did he get into the White House and why could he always be counted on for a scoop?
Yummy. Smell of fresh thread.

Easy to tell you're not Permese...
Ripley, Joe Biden was cracking up while Robin Williams was making jokes about JimmyJeff's websites.
Gawd. I almost forgot. I didn't do my duty today:
FUCK BUSH
Don't you just love rubbing around naked in clean sheets. They feel so good on bare skin.
Okay, that's a paraphrase, but somebody name that movie. Hint: it has something to do with Shakespeare.
Robin Williams is the antithesis of funny.
Happy Birthday Atrios!
Fuck Bush
Happy Birthday Atrios!
Fuck Bush
Thanks, Karin... I feel so lost for about 2 hrs a week, but the other 166 hrs of crap out there on TV.... yeesh...
Other people have debunked JimJeff's WSJournal cop out. Tonight is the first time he used that excuse and other places (I believe on FR) he indicated that he had seen the memo. In any case, why was Gannon involved with the Plame case at all? That's the obvious question...
-
shakespear in love?
Robin Williams is the antithesis of funny.
Matty J
Yeah, but that Joe Biden is a hoot.
DWD,
Thank you for that.
Robin Williams is the antithesis of funny.
========
you got that right.
FYI--Dean has already been on Maher's show.
And he handled himself quite well, I might add.
In fact, it occurred several months ago, and if I recall correctly, Maher kept saying to him, "Doctor, if Kerry doesn't win, let's face it: You're gonna be da man in the party, aren't you?"
Dean just deflected answering with a "yes" and kept talking about getting Kerry elected.
Maher was right. And I suspect that Dean KNEW Maher was right. But he was savvy enough not to play into his hands.
wait...you say there b-jobs at the WH, well i know a guy who knows a guy who blows some guys...
Scotty
With Jimmy/Jeff billing hisself as 8"+ of studly "Dominant Top", I think maybe BJs is not what we're talkin' 'bout, here.
Yeah, but that Joe Biden is a hoot.
dcinde
Yeah, and SO dreamy!
Fuck Bush.
Guckert Rove.
Cunnilingus Bush!!
god. i tried to read some of those freeper comments wtfwjd? linked to. i got through about 3. one guy wonders how wilson was punished by the revelation that his wife was cia. he supposes maybe it was the loss of a second paycheck.
could put his wife in some danger, i would think, being revealed as cia.
Ok, now Maher's pissing me off. He can be willfully blind sometime. Refusing to acknowledge that the f'ing Preisident of f'ing Harvard needs to be careful when he's 'trying to get a discussion started'.
Also - its ok for soldiers to get off on killing people. What happens after they've got a taste for killing and there's no more brown people to kill? Can we send them over to your house Bill?
Happy liberal drinking everyone!
I'm getting my vodka+tonic on. I'll throw one back for you. 
NTodd, 9 1/2 Weeks? Just a guess.
Bill Maher was saying the other night that the Democrats are in danger of losing the quality of idealism to the Republicans. And it's true, too: why can't you people just admit that the War for Iraq is yielding some excellent possibilities for democratic reform in the Middle East?
Okay, that's a paraphrase, but somebody name that movie. Hint: it has something to do with Shakespeare.
Hmmm.
Can't do it.
But the best Shakespearean movie take off ever has this line:
"You're so pretty. If I didn;t have puke breath, I'd kiss you."
Joe Biden calling for an investigation of Propagannongate. Cool. And he said "Goddamn!" on TV.
Disney has created an animatronic Tommy Thompson.
Robin Williams is not right.
BJs is not what we're talkin' 'bout, here.
yeah but Dom/Top doesn't fit... so to speak
I had the pleasure of bringing a friend up to date today, who hadn't heard anything about guckert. He almost didn't believe me. It's soo sweeet.
And it's true, too: why can't you people just admit that the War for Iraq is yielding some excellent possibilities for democratic reform in the Middle East?
--Uhhh . . . maybe because then we would be LYING and/or DELUSIONAL?
shakespear in love?...9 1/2 Weeks?
Nope. Nope.
Steve Martin was in it.
rc, robin williams has never been right. i think he's usually pretty funny, but i can understand how he could get on other people's nerves.
Robin Williams is the antithesis of funny.
"Reality. Wow, what a concept!"

Ohh, and Tobe:
I know you want some readers at your site, but really . . .
Don't you think that coming here and trolling is the wrong way to go about getting them?
I mean aren't there a whole lot of people at Free Republic and Little Green Footballs that already speak your language?
Why don't you try them?
why can't you people just admit that the War for Iraq is yielding some excellent possibilities for democratic reform in the Middle East?
I admit it. It's yielding some possiblities.
Too bad that's not the fucking war of choice that was sold to us. Too bad possibilities don't feed the bulldog. Too bad that Bush supported a coup against the democratically elected president of Venezuela and actively assisted the overthrow of a democratically elected president in Haiti. Too bad you're a fucking ass.
And it's true, too: why can't you people just admit that the War for Iraq is yielding some excellent possibilities for democratic reform in the Middle East?
Name two?
Oh, wait - I know....
Theocratic republic aligned with Iran? That one?
Failed state in permanent state of civil war? That one?
Oh, Christ Tommy Thompson just gave Chimpy a big wet one - right on TV
Robin Williams is not right.

Also too Jonathan Winters. Williams is sorta Winters on better drugs.
War for Iraq is yielding some excellent possibilities for democratic reform in the Middle East?
don't know, maybe.. it is yeilding tons of compost for the Middle Earth though... asshole
I was just thinking, we have a golden branding opportunity if we start referring to ourselves as Domocrats, and the enemy as ReSublicans...
Emo Phillips, now...Emo was funny!
I had a traumatic experience being caught in the middle of traffic once when I was a kid. I shudder every time my parents show the video tape.
I had a teacher in gradeschool who was by and large [pause]...

Hey, Toby. This is America, not the Middle East. America's the best country in the world, chosen by God himself. America first, right?
Why do you love the Middle East more than America, Toby? Why, oh why, do you hate America and America's freedom so much that you want to dilute it by spreading it around the world? Shame on you, Toby, for hating America's freedom and democracy.

I felt sorry for myself because I had no underwear.

Emo Phillips, now...Emo was funny!
Oh, hell yes. I remember seeing him repeat over & over again that he was "very popular with the ladies" while stuffing his entire overcoat into his pants pocket.
Oh My God....call the police. There is some naked man standing at my front door, offering to butt-fuck me all weekend for $1200. And my name isn't Scott!
Wait until my wife opens the door. His head will be divorced from the reality of his body.
Why does Atrios hate his mother?
they aren't gay the way people in the gay rights movement are gay though. i think gay sex is just another form of outlaw behavior to them. that's what they get off on. that's why they want to keep it that way.
" they're all gay. especially bush. he's definitely gay."
--Well, if that's true, do you think that if they just came out of the closet then they wouldn't feel such a need to dominate and kill everybody else?
Yeah, Guckert's the "guy." Top man stud that he is. I see a characature of a sensitive man trying to overcome the straight culture that's been shoved down his throat. So he attacks his own kind to make up for his inadequacy. His opportunism is an empty response to looking in the mirror and seeing something he rejects. Reminds me of the immature queens I've dated who would ask you to pay your rent, and then getting refused, key your car, steal from your wallet, and slash your tires to punish you for having the guts to be a real gay man.
He's fried. Let's hope he lasts long enough to drag some of the mouth breathers to the bottom with him.

Ballad of the Lonesome Cowpoke
Midland Dubya was a Cowpoke down in Texas,
A bold Rider of the Yellow, Yellow Sage!
He was the roughest, toughest critter
Ever joined the Guard, then quit 'er,
He's the wonder of the Neo-putian Age!
So Yippee-i-Yay-i-Yay, Yippee-Yi-Yo!
For the cock-eyed shitter west of the Alamo!
Then Tex said “God wants me for a tiny despot!
Evr’y day He whispers sweet things in my ear!
So I’m wreakin’ signs and wonders!
(We don’t say “strategic blunders”)
Now jest watch me rope this taxidermy steer!”
So Yippee-i-Yay-i-Yay, Yippee-Yi-Yo!
For the cock-eyed blund’rer east of the Alamo!
Then Tex said “Goddam I need a Cowpoke playmate
One who makes me feel I really am A MAN!
Here’s a picher of Jeff Gannon
He’s equipped with one big cannon,
Tell the feds that he don’t need a background scan!”
So Yippee-i-Yay-i-Yay, Yippee-Yi-Yo!
For the Backdoor Cowpoke east of the Alamo!
By straight culture, I mean the overpowering right-wing one. No offense to other straight people.
Make that pay HIS rent.
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.
Also too Jonathan Winters. Williams is sorta Winters on better drugs.
Jonathan Winters was one of Williams' big influences. They worked together for a season or two on Mork & Mindy. I think Williams would probably be flattered to be thought of as "Winters on better drugs."
someone else here used the term "roehmosexuals" to describe them. i think it's accurate. fascism always contains lots of homoeroticism.

So does everything in Western society. Just saying.
Bill Maher is witty and ask a lot of the right questions, but, goddamnit, and I say this as a Irish/Jewish person myself-he hates women and that ruins him.
Maybe if the putz dated real women instead of tranny models, he might have some insight and less contempt.
Thank God for Robin Williams, who manages to be really funny and sensitive at the same time.
Fuck me if I watch Maher again.
Just be glad some people stifle their violent impulses and run out of rooms, feeling sick. The world might be better off if men did that instead of pulling out guns and shooting up malls.
Just sayin.
Modern Annunciator- you met someone who had no under? Where?
But fascists are poor kissers cause they slap you afterwards.
As a lifelong student of Comedy...
Jonathon Winters was/is really fucking funny.
Well, Maher's opening monologue about JimmyJeff was good, but he lost me once he said that torturing Arabs is OK because their societies don't treat women well.
WaterTiger, I must have blinked cuz I didn't see my name in that illustrious list of those who saw your picture, not that I'm bitter or resentful but hey a guy gets lonely sometimes and just feels like he needs to see some hot mamas online and doesn't want to give his corporate credit card number out too often but what the hell was I talkin about oh my god I should stop typing before I embarrass mys

'Sokay watertiger, we can wait....
It is a common fallacy to equate formal democracy with an absence of repression. A state can be quite theocratic and yet have at least a legal commitment to secular rule. Iraq in a lot of way will probably end up looking a lot like, say, Ireland in the 1950s, with a legally secular government but wherein all the social and cultural power rests with ultraconservative religious leaders. The gov;t itself will be more or less endlessly dependednt on the US for security, to stave off a predatory Iran and the more or less unstoppable insurgency, terrorism, whatever, which will always have the capacity to bring on civil war.
The situation is more or less at a permanent stalemate. Wheeeeee.
Steve Martin was in it.

"Why are you not there [in Iraq], Toby?"
--Toby will tell you that it is stupid to suggest that only those people who have the experience of fighting in a war can announce their support for it.
--Of course, Toby's answer misses the point entirely and sets up a straw man that can easily be shot down. Because, of course, it is silly to suggest that only those people who have had the experience of fighting in a war are the only ones that can advocate for it.
--But, you see, no one is suggesting that only those who have faught in a war can advocate for it.
--Instead, what people are suggesting is that, as Juan Cole has observed, if you are young and able bodied, and you advocate that a certain war be fought, then you are a COWARD AND A HYPOCRITE if you don't go fight it yourself while letting OTHERS go and do the fighting.
--I think Toby knows this. But, like most right-wingers, he's just displaying that intellectual dishonesty and sophistry for which they are so well known.
--Also, he doesn't want to admit that he's a COWARD and a HYPOCRITE.
--Am I right, Toby?
--ANSWER ME, BITCH!!!!
I would do Jeff Gannon. But I get to be the top. I never bottom. And then I'm tattoo my name on his ass.

I think you might be onto something there, olaf. These pigs like Gannon that torture gays socially, but fuck men for outlaw sex are a different animal. Maybe this helps explain the wierd disconnect between guys like this and Santorum that always speak of gays as sexual perverts. Plenty of striaght folks are sexual perverts, too. They don't understand the love part. That's what they hate.
"It is a common fallacy to equate formal democracy with an absence of repression."
--Absolutely correct.

STONY LIKEE!!!
Saw this today in Le Monde (and it underscores what a hopeless duo Condi and Chimpy make):
By refusing dialog with Teheran, Washington diminishes the capacity of Iran to influence events inside Iraq. Due to the multiplicity and the nuance of its ancient ties to Iraq, Iran has the potential of making things very much worse. Whatever the case, any recent visitor to Teheran or Qom cannot help but notice that the results of the 30 January election are considered to be an immense success for Iran.
...
Within the framework of a return to diplomacy, as President Bush has advocated, a time and place must be found for the opening of dialog with Iran. If the successor to President Khatami (elections will be held in June) is a powerful and experienced man, like Hojjat ol-Islam Hashemi Rafsanjani, it is conceivable that the Islamic Republic will recognize Israel and agree to observe the provisions of the Non-Proliferation treaty, two Western demands, in exchange for acceptance of its legitimate role in regional security and economic concessions.

Go over to Kos and see the story about the right's perspective on lefty blogs. Someone says Atrios "hates America, his mother and apple pie". So now we know. Atrios hates America because his mom made really lousy apple pie. If only she had stuck to the cherry cobbler, Atrios would be posting on Instapundit today!
Jeff Gannon + Ann Coulter = this.

Fuck Bush's profits. Fuck Bush's machismo-induced ego trip. Fuck Bush's cronies. And fuck the people that push Bush's lies. Profit over people? Who are these annointed egomaniacs that think they deserve money for destroying lives? Fuck them, too. I'm just sayin' cuz I'm an American and I value Life more than stock options.
that's when we close the deal and make them customers
Our customers-for what products, numb nuts?
We don't make anything anymore. Oh right, fast food now counts as manufacturing.
When you finally graduate from community college and can't find a job that pays more than eight bucks an hour, don't come here to whine, okay, Tobe?

watertiger has one white hand and one black...how did she do ssuch great stunts?
Look, just cause I'm in all the Girlz Girlz Girlz movies does not mean I'm not discrete.
Okay, I'm intrigued, but I'm still having a hard time getting used to your being a girl. I've got months and months of a mental image to scrub first. Sorry, it's my issue I know...
Woohoo! I placed!
You're a real cutie, watertiger.
she also has 2 right arms focus! holy shit!

Coulter: Fuck me Jeff, like I'm a cheap little mouthpiece for any cuntservative cause.
Gannon: Yeah baby, get Karl on the phone.....he likes to listen and make pig sounds.

Make that years, if you've been here that long. I may switch to plain old vic. I feel dishonest that so many people for so long have thought I'm a guy.
AquaTigre, I lost myself while I was laying some Truth on that talking keyboard from the Crisis Factory™.
Please let me take this opportunity to say, "Rrrrrrrr, you're a naughty kitty and Daddy likes"

I felt it best to remove the three men from the photograph. I did not have their permission to post their images all over these here internets.
Though that being said, my friend Gerald, the black guy whose arm is around my waist, is an actor, so he'd probably love the exposure.
oooh! Jeff Gannon + Ann Coulter
They would make a really cute gay couple.
that's when we close the deal and make them customers. Which means more and better jobs for Americans.

Chief Justice Scalia, as you and the other justices retire to consider overturning Roe v Wade, we merely ask you to consider People's Exhibits #1 & 2, Ann Coulter and Jeff Gannon. Ask yourself, did perhaps Roe V Wade came too late?
Wow Watertiger, you're like, all gorgeous, and shit.
Yeah Eli, what great blog name have you come up with? Inquiring minds..
Okay. Question for the question box.
What makes us think we can defeat the evil Right the way we are trying to now?
If the MSM doesn't pick up on the myriad scandals in the Bush administration - possibly (probably?) because they are corporate-owned and in no way beholden to the Truth, then how does all this shit ever get out to people? The common man/woman, as it were?
It seems to me that most people still have too much to lose to challenge Bush et al. We ain't at the guillotine stage yet.
Most people would rather deny, would rather avert their eyes.
Revelations? There have been many. Reaction? Yawns and blank stares and "too busy to be bothered" reactions.
I have, along with many others, asked, "What will it take?" What horror, what offense, what crime needs to be perpetrated before The People rise up and knock GWB et al on their thieving fat asses?
I have no idea, but it would seem to be a helluva lot.
Are we hopelessly naive?
Do we really have no concept of the depth and breadth of evil being carried on right bnow in plain sight, and do we really have no idea how to combat - let alone neutralize - it?
I am truly afraid.
I think these people - the Bushites - will stop at nothing - nothing! - to remain in power. Power is their aphrodisiac, their crack, their meth. These people are power junkies, and they will not hesitate to necklace any one who gets in their way.
What - who?? do we have with that kind of commitment to take them on?

Eli, care to elaborate on your cryptic post about your prospective blog?
Not much to elaborate just yet. Have been agonizing for a title ever since discovering that there was already an Evil Midnight Blogger What Blogs At Midnight. ECClectic, The Punnsylvanian, Snarkosis, Angster Of Love, Greekius, Chinook Pete, none of them quite seemed to work.
Finally settled on Multi Medium, since I will be channeling thoughts on movies, music, books, & the occasional photo (and who knows, maybe some politics too - stranger things have happened), and it will probably all be very mediocre.
Right now I have absolutely nothing to post, but every once in a while I get an itch about something, and now I'll have someplace to scratch it, rather than waiting for an open thread.
Hi Sarah Deere
My sister said everyone at her beauty parlor was talking about Gannon today. So maybe it's reaching the people.
And what young soldier, all abrim with aredent patriotism, does not dream of the day when he'll get his balls blown off by an IED so some dumb internet fuck can eat a Big n' Tasty while praying his portfolio went up a fucking eighth of a point last quarter?
Wow shouldn't a bell go off or maybe a cannon when someone pulls out the hippie word?

Gannon certainly doesn't. On CNN, the man looked like he was about to shit his pants, waiting for someone to sneak up behind him with a garrote.
Oh. We're no longer the world's biggest economy? Damn. I'm always the last to know.
Yes, it seems the Gannon story is spraying all over the country now.
Yeah, it will carry over to next week, I think. I was worried it would fizzle over the weekend but I think it will make the Sunday talk shows. Now we need to kick it up a notch and get high profile Democrats like mothafuckin' Howard Muthafuckin' DEAN and my main man Harry "Pimpsauce" REID to start grumbling about investigations.

Economic power? There is no such thing. It's all military power. "Your country will sell your goods to us for this amount of our fake money so that our citizens can buy them at Wal-Mart with very little of their fake money, or else we will kick your ass or otherwise disrupt your citizens' way of life."
What's in your wallet, Toby?

Again with the hippie thing, Toby? I work for one of the largest corporations in the world. I'm 38, a licensed professional and my clients are some of the biggest muckity mucks in the country and the world.
Am I glad to have a nice office job? You bet. Do I think their portfolios are worth more than the lives of the near 1500 dead Americans and countless wounded? Not on your fucking life, pally.
Get off your ideological trickle-down horse and start thinking about lives. You call yourself an American? You embarrass the country when you talk like that.

I just read where the top 10 oil companies *netted* over $100 billion in 2004.
And several had no significant exploration expenditures during the year.
It was just as if Shrub had said, "Belly up boys! This year's on the house".
And the oil PR people say "We're just passing on our higher costs." (of our chinchilla-lined Hummers).
I will now concede, after reviewing the more recent developments, that Jeff Gannon is probably a male prostitute and got access to the press corps and President most likely, from a customer/butt-buddy.
This still does not mean the administration advocates anything he does in his private life, or aides in his own little sycophantic agenda.
It simply means we have someone with access in the Whitehouse so seriously "divorced from reality," that they let their prostitue enter a world he really shouldn't have allowed to be in, effectively putting the President in a position of proving a negative.
Rove needs to clean this up and crack some fucking skulls.
It's still bullshit when compared to Mapes+Kerry+CBS=attempt on the presidency, and the Eason Jordan remarks.
But it's also still bullshit that shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the President.
From now I will never say anything about Gannon vis-a-vis Atrios's treatment of the CBS/Eason events.
Got to learn from the experienced.
p.s. this is a one time concession, you will not see it again.
Can anyone call the GucksterMeister what he really is : PATSY.
If this stuff on KOS over the Tang memo is true, he is going down in history as the biggest tool. And in his case, every sense of the word.
I cannot believe these folks can be so contrived and dastardly. No wonder everything is going to hell, they have absolutely no time to concern themselves with the nation' business.

stony, i actually own a fair amount of stock in an oil company (even though i'm a hippy). the price per share has literally doubled over the past 2- 2 1/2 years. it's the only thing i own that has done anything at all.
My kids and I had comedy Fri. nite. I had TiVo'd the Daily Show from Weds. nite. I had to keep stopping the tape to explain that this Gluckfuk guy was a real WH plant, not a journalist. Had to tell them about all the fake *news* reporters Bu$hCo planted to influence policy and paid print journalists. I think they only half believed me till the part with Leslie Blitzer appeared, where their eyes bugged and their jaws dropped.
They said, "isn't this illegal, or just really unethical?" Hahaha. BOOsh is ABOVE the law, I told the little ones.

Pentagon adviser Richard Perle debated Howard Dean in Portland, Ore., last night, and the audience included at least one idiot, as the Associated Press reports:
Perle had just started his comments Thursday when a protester threw a shoe at him before being dragged away, screaming, "Liar! Liar!"
Sounds like a Khrushchev wannabe. What is it with advocates of totalitarianism and their shoes? Anyway, then there's this gem:
In his new role as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Dean has stressed that Democrats are stronger than Republicans on defense.
"Defense is a lot broader than swaggering around saying you're going to kick Saddam's butt," Dean said Thursday, drawing cheers from the crowd in this city that overwhelmingly voted Democratic last November.
It's not clear how this shows that "Democrats are stronger than Republicans on defense." After all, "swaggering around saying you're going to kick Saddam's butt" was precisely the policy of the last Democratic administration. The current Republican administration actually kicked his butt and even took down names.

Scott McClellan Reveals That Gannon/Guckert Got GOPUSA Press Pass
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.
Keep digging, bitches.
Imagine that a man is walking down a quiet street and passes an alleyway in which he sees another man assaulting a woman. What is he to do? He considers jumping in to defend her, but then realizes that that may be "risky" and even possibly "reckless." The safe thing to do is to keep moving on. After all he really didn't know the woman and he had no divested "interest" in saving her.
Moments later that same man looks behind him and sees that a second man has noticed the assault in the alleyway and has jumped in to defend the woman. The first man notices that the second man is about the same age, height, weight as he is but this man jumped in anyway. Uh oh, now he has a problem. Does he hope the second man does well, wins the fight, saves her honor and becomes the hero? What a disgrace that would be. After all, he could have done the same and chose not to. It would make his decision look awfully bad upon reflection. On the other hand, what if the second man were to become the second victim? Would it really make the first man feel smug knowing that that could have been him, but a man far better than him at least did something honorable yet "risky" and possibly "reckless"?
There's your "Hobbesian choice" simplified into micro terms in relation to Iraq. It's easy to see now which man is John Kerry and which man is George W. Bush. Or even better, which man is a liberal war protester continuing the protest even after the war has begun and which man is the soldier or Marine serving in harm's way willingly.

So Bush is now saying he spent some time as a teenager (14 or 15) working on a Scottish sheep farm.
That's news to me. Anyone else recall prior mention of a teenage adventure in Scotland, let alone one where he did menial labor?

I must assume someone has already posted this, I've not read every thread this afternoon, but in case it has not been noted, here it is:
I just talked to EPT's brother and it isn't as bad as they thought. He's still very sick but they think he's going to recover.
His brother says to thank people for their good wishes. He will pass them on. EPT has only told his brother and me who he is so he probably would rather remain anonymous. His brother said that if he would like to be able to tell him that people are using a word he invented, cabloid. He used it for the cable news stations and asked his brother last week if he had heard anyone use it yet. He thinks that would make his day.
I will let you know if there is any more news.

Karin, thanks. I try. I work in a teaching hospital, and there's both basic sci and clinical. Everyone is upbeat, just about. Wonderful people, and the most diverse place I've ever worked in my life, so I have reason for optimmism.
But...BIG but...Bush et al are the worst I have seen in my 60 yrs of life on the planet. These guys are mean to the core, to the marrow.
And, they are organized. Frighteningly so. And so capable and willing of/to stoking the nastiest fires within each human being.
I am as afraid as I have ever been in my life, and I was horrified by the 1968 conventions and Nixon.
This now is colder, harder, sharper.

That is some fine piece of stenography from Howie in the WaPo. I counted "Gannon said" 7 times, "Gannon says" 2 times and "he said" (referring to Gannon) 8 times. In one fucking column!
I think I need to write to the ombudsman again, and this time I will also ask him why the Post keeps calling him "Gannon" in their newspaper, instead of his real name.

Hilarious exchange between Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D., Calif.) and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. As the latter testified Wednesday before the House Armed Services Committee, the former tried but failed to catch him in a misstatement of fact:
Sanchez: Unfortunately, as I said, this committee has had a hard time assessing where we really stand with the Iraqi army as an effective fighting force. Over the past year, we've received incredibly widely fluctuating estimates of that. And I think you have a real credibility problem on this issue.
Rumsfeld: Fluctuations of what?
Sanchez: The fluctuations of--the numbers that you bandy around about how many troops we really have out there that are Iraqi police, et cetera, et cetera. . . .
Rusmfeld: Now, you say we bandy around numbers. They're not my numbers. I don't invent them. They come from Gen. Petraeus. . . .
Sanchez: I have Petraeus's numbers. They're different than your numbers, by the way.
Rumsfeld: Well, what's the date? They aren't different because these came from Petraeus. He may have two sets of numbers, but they are not different if the date's the same. The date on my paper here is Feb. 14. What's yours?
Sanchez: Dec. 20.
Rumsfeld: Not surprising there's a difference.

Gosh, Toby - didn't realize I was required to put forth all my personal information. I sort of thought that USA PATRIOT was keeping you all safe from me already.
Voting against economic interests? Fuck, what is it with you people? Do you honestly believe that we don't want people to have jobs? We DO. We'd also like a fair jobscape out there. Oh, and not killing people for economic interests might make some people think a little more highly of BushCo's plan for the American econcomy.
Seriously, how great a country are we if we have to invade another country for jobs and profits? You denigrate the true American businesspeople. I've never killed anyone for economic gain but I guess that makes me a hippie, eh?

When you call someone stupid, you should try to spell correctly in your post. Spelling "your" incorrectly is a huge red flag that the person writing it is an idiot. It's not like other words. It tells everyone you don't even have the most rudimentary understanding of the written language.
That's news to me. Anyone else recall prior mention of a teenage adventure in Scotland, let alone one where he did menial labor?
so is "menial labor the new euphemism for "hand jobs?"

Hell of lot more interesting than pictures of wingnuts for sure.
Looks like Gannon had a hard on (as it were) for CBS. In addition to fingering Mapes as the fall guy for 'faked' TANG memos, he was quick to mention CBS's role in exposing the Abu Ghraib photos:
CBS May Have Obtained Abuse Photos In Pentagon Leak
CBS first reported the abuse on May 5th, and JGJG's article followed the next day. WP and The New Yorker were also mentioned in the article, but they came much later, in the 6th and 7th paragraphs out of a 10 paragraph article.
What I can't figure out is why he tried to pin the blame on the DOD. To my knowlege that was pure speculation, and IIRC the most logical source of the leak was Graner's attorney. Did someone in the WH proffer this info to him in the hopes of bringing down Rummy?

WASHINGTON -- Roman Catholic leaders said Friday they received 1,092 new abuse claims against American priests and deacons last year, even after they had already paid more than $800 million in settlements during the long-running crisis over predatory clergy.
Bishops said, however, that the flood of fresh allegations was not a sign abuse was rampant in parishes today. Most of the alleged incidents occurred decades ago and nearly three-quarters of the 756 accused clerics had died, been defrocked or been removed from public ministry before the claims were made in 2004, church leaders said.
Might be time to rethink that celebacy policy.

Lol Jeremiah comes in with the late kick to the head. A solid kick, though....
Then suddenly diving down to earth with the determined fury of a peregrine falcon, to sink the deadly fangs of vengeance into the soft rubberiness of Karl Rove's collection of neck folds.
Now that is pure poetry!
I'm not sure, JeffCo.

If I were NOT blogging, Id be in the mood for Hot Licks tonight.
.....Sorry bigvic, for just a second there I thought I was Brit Hume re-defining Social Security.
Oh, I forgot to mention . . .
Ether sucked me off last night.
I love having sex with trolls.
And, contrary to what they may admit, they LOVE having sex with me.
What am I listening to? Nuttin'. Got the teevee on for background noise.
This is the first night in six weekends that I haven't been out playing. I'm enjoying a little peace and quiet for a change.
Here on the West Coast, it's still Ignore the Moronic Brownshirt Fucks Day.
Jeebus Christ in a hardhat, Ror... did Hurricane Bush hit your house?
What's that FEMA guy's name? Tommy Lee Jones played him in that bizarre movie about which portrayed lava as the creeping threat of Communism in America. Anyway, call him, Ror!!!

Gannon did an interview with Howie at WaPo:
scout prime, see my post at 12:59. I just got back from writing to the Post. I asked them if Guckert and Howie took the same stenography course.
I'm currently listening to the Silencers, "A Blues for Buddha." One of my all time favorite albums.
G'night, goodhearts. I've got to wake up early tomorrow so I can get a quick start on my hangover.
Welcome, stranger. Somewhere in my head, there's a Steely Dan lyric.
Oh!!! "Won't you sign in, stranger?
Bush may let us down but Steely Dan never will. (grammar be damned!)
I like the term "moonbats".
Shortly before the election I had a dream that included a song to be dedicated to all the trolls who would surely (or is that surly) have better things to do than hang out here:
Asshats and Moonbats
(after Jim Croce's Photographs and Memories):
Asshats and moonbats
Mindless insults hurled by gnats
All that I have are these
To remember you
Stupid trolls that come at night
Wanting just to waste my time
All that they ever could do
Was sound asinine
Chorus:
But we sure had a good time
While we swatted all their friends
Swift boat guys and media lies
Oh how their "truth" just bends
Winter skies and hopeless sighs
Nights they wouldn't say goodbye
And for all of the venom they spewed
All of us survived
Asshats and moonbats
All the late night dopey spats
Somehow I wish it were true
That's all we've left of you
Chorus
BTW, via Leonard Pitts, here's the column of the day. Choice passage:
Frankly, the only thing more galling than the brazenness with which the White House abrogates the public's right to know is the sheep-like docility with which we accept it, with which we become complicitous in our own hoodwinking.
When the history of this era is written, people will wonder why we didn't challenge its excesses, why we didn't know the things we should have.
If you're still around, remember the uproar you do not hear right this moment and tell them the truth.
Ignorance was easier.

My kids all swear that they can judge my mood for the day (mostly even) by what I whistle before they go to school. All their friends laugh about my whistling when they come home from school. They think I'm odd. Well, the fact of the matter is, I'd rather be singing, but I sound like a frog in a death grip when I sing, so I hum or whistle. Oh, I am fresh meat for my poor family every day.
Rory,
Looks like it's coming along smartly.
Just think, brand new digs at the same address.
You ('uns) ('all) are overdue for some good fortune.

That's from Royal Scam, no? What a great record that was.
Oh, here's a fun one.
Republicans would vote 2:1 for Shrub over... George Fucking Washington:
"If George Washington returned from the dead and attempted to recapture the presidency of the United States, he would beat an incumbent President George W. Bush by nearly 20 percentage points, according to a new national poll conducted for Washington College by the public affairs research firm of Schulman, Ronca & Bucuvalas, Inc. Asked to choose between George Washington and George W. Bush, Republicans in the survey supported Bush by a margin of more than 2 to 1, while Democrats and independents overwhelmingly favored Washington."
Wheeee.
From the Poor Man.
What, are we having Hunk Blogging tonight?

Proof positive that most Americans are stupid and lazy and ignorant.
Or maybe I have that ass-backwards.
Guckster's interview
1. When I see his face it reminds me of a record cover. Queen?
2. Very strange, it looked like he was absolutely uncomfortable.
3. His choosing of words very carefully was glaring.
4. His avoidance of the real answers was also quite obvious.
5. He never denied who he was in relation to the web sites.
6. And I guess we should allow him to teach at an elementary school since performing illegal activities of a carnal nature for pay is not relevant in that situation either.
7. I am waiting for his declaration of Born Again status. Wipes it all out you know.
Thers,
We *don't* need any more reinforcement of the fact that we are surrounded by pod people!
Jeez, that's really disturbing.
Republicans would vote 2:1 for Shrub over... George Fucking Washington:
Hahahahaha. The grand retarded party. Shiite. You cannot make this shit up. One helps make the country, one breaks it.
I saw them last August, Vic, almost 10 yrs to the day when I saw them first. I was in heaven and they are just incredible in concert. Not much of a stage show but that's to be expected.
Walter and Donald are gods and should be required listening for any band about to put out a debut disc.
It would have been the motherfucking Valley Forge Vets for Truth. Everyone knows it.
Thanks, dave, great Leonard Pitts column. I read Kurtz, and then I read Pitts, and I can only conclude that Kurtz got in on an affirmative action program for white men.
Karin, boy, howdy....
In the meantime, inbetween time, and appropos of absolutely nothing....
I have the Penguin Book of Saints. I mean to offend no one, but, not having been raised in a religious household, religion and its stories were, well, stories to me, myths, legends.
The stories of the saints are of provocative interest to me.
Women canonized for having done everything possible to preserve their virginity...severed breasts carrioed on plates, gouged-out eyes held in slender white hands.....
Anyway, one of my favorites was St (something French beginning with a "J"), who was sent to minister to, of all things, the Iroqois. Strong and determined m-f's, the Iroqois. Not to be fucked with.
So, St J went to them with the Word.
The Iroqois beat then crap out of him and threw him out and said, "Don't come back here trying to peddle that shit. Thanks."
St J healed, and after a while, went back to spread the Word about Jeebus.
Iroqois beat crap out of St J, send him on his beaten-up way again, with the message, do NOT come back. We do not want your fucking shit around here.
St J, being Catholic and Christian and unable to help himself, goes back.
This time, the Iroqois understandably lose patience.
They skin St J (who, of course, is not a St yet, this happens AFTER he is skinned alive) alive. He dies. He is canonized, eventually.
But, in this apocryphal tale, my sympathies are always with the Iroqois, who have, I believe, shown a great deal more tolerance than St J deserved.
And it amuses the living fuck out of me that the Church actually canonized the idiot boy, St J.
Life is so fucking strange, throughout history. Human beings are hilarious!
7. I am waiting for his declaration of Born Again status. Wipes it all out you know.
EkCenTrik
He already did. I can't recall the exact words, but he said something like he's been washed in the Blood of Christ, thus his past has been forgiven.
george washington was hot. I would fuck him, but only after making him be a pony girl, released from the Palestinian Position (the NY Times claims this is where you are hung from a wire attached to your wrists, which are duct taped behind your back, which, like waterboarding, the Israel Supreme Court has said clearly is NOT torture, and thus is appropriate for American detention facilities operating within the terror-it-ory of the enemy combatants, or in the case of extraordinary extradition, subjected within the terror-it-ory of our co-conspirators in the War on Terror) to assume the Father of his Country bottom position.
he, George Washington, is soooooo hot. and masculine. plus, he rides a horse. who wouldn't want to fuck him?
It would have been the motherfucking Valley Forge Vets for Truth. Everyone knows it.
The American polity has been substantially and purposefully damaged.
The country is divided by those who trust nothing and those who trust everything.
"No more Mr Nice Gaius!"
I enjoyed that line.
But WTF am I doing up? Oh yeah, I can't sleep. Seen too many pics of attractive Atriots of late, and they're all running through my brain.
Nite, dear ones. Must go off to fever dreams.
Peace out.
It would have been the motherfucking Valley Forge Vets for Truth. Everyone knows it.
Lmfao Fuck, Thers, I swear I almost tipped my chair over when I read that. and it wasn't the beer this time....
George Washington lied when he claimed to have spent Christmas 1776 in Trenton!
And several men who claim to have crossed the Delaware with him have provided sworn affidavits that he never once stood up in the boat!
7. I am waiting for his declaration of Born Again status. Wipes it all out you know.
=======
Oh yeah, I do know. What I don't get though, is how profligate these guys can get with their credibility. Pretty soon the only people who'll buy their shit will be mormons.
Bye bigvic.
It would have been the motherfucking Valley Forge Vets for Truth.
"Did Washington really throw that silver dollar across the potomac?"
No.
He stuck it up his ass and then said he was wounded, FAUX news reports.
Steve Jandreau
Well looks like he has to go through it all over again.
When I see his face it reminds me of a record cover. Queen?
Yep. News Of The World, I'll bet.
The Iroqois showed extreme patience with that moron.
When did it become Palestine position? I thought it was called strappado.
I gotta keep up with the times.
Sarah,
Are you talking about John de Brébeuf he was known as the apostle of the Hurons.
If i recall correctly he also brought smallpox to the Hurons and they hated him and his God for it.
It's way too late for me to be up, but I just wanted to say, Sarah, have you ever read "The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse" by Louise Erdrich? I'm not relgious either, but I loved that book.
me, I was always partial to Betsy Ross, hetero that I am, butt that whole pony girl thing stimulates guffaws all around. and when, I ask,will the blog pop up, so to speak, that delineates the hierarchies (chronological and spatial) of the DC Gay Mafia and how jimmy jeff went from auto mechanic to gay hustler to White House Press Correspondent, all in a few short weeks? Tony Robbins and I wanna know?
He stuck it up his ass and then said he was wounded, FAUX news reports.
Correction: he threw other soldiers' silver dollars across the Potomac but only pretended to throw his own.
Anderson Cooper 360 - that's a CNN news show isn't it. (I don't watch the Commie News Network mostly because they are on the wrong side of history)
But it is interesting that Jeff Gannon would walk into the snake pit to answer you bunch of soulless cretins.
More integrity then Eason Jordan has.
When I see his face it reminds me of a record cover. Queen?
Yep. News Of The World, I'll bet.
Not my favorite Queen album, but it certainly had some good tunes (fuck We Are the Champions, though), and not every record can be Night at the Opera.
Hey, can I throw a song out for consideration?
Melt With You by Modern English
"I'll stop the world and melt with you" "There's nothing you and I won't do" "The future's open wide"
Just a hint of personal "positivity" in this crapfest that BushCo has sponsored, and it goes to the heart of what we liberals feel. (If I may opine for the rest of you)
I'll wait for Mary's analysis...
Word around the soon to be Washington, D.C. is that Martha Custis is a lesbian.
The Meices ha, hadn't thought of them in a while -- the one with the guy slicing his head on a cutting board?
It's way too late for me to be up, but I just wanted to say, Sarah, have you ever read "The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse" by Louise Erdrich? I'm not relgious either, but I loved that book.
Karin
Karin, my SO read it just last year and loved the book, thought it was brilliant.
On another note:
Late catblogging!
More integrity then Eason Jordan has.
I do not weep for Eason Jordan, but that's got to be the stupidest fucking thing I've read since ether last posted.
NTodd -
We briefly talked about this on the thread below. what say ye about the upcoming Queen tour, with Paul Rodgers fronting?
I have no idea how Paul's gonna sing any of Freddie's stuff, outside a couple of tunes...
JeffCO,
I stand corrected.
My apologies to George Washington, a real War hero.
George Washington was also known to trust in the French of all people and let French Generals command US troops.
I'm listening on Musicmatch to the Youngbloods' Get Together.
It's the ultimate pinko hippie tune but still it's haunting, given the world backdrop when it was recorded.
Are you kidding me??? Paul Rodgers singing Queen? Paul has a great voice but he's not the right guy to sing Queen. Geoff Tate from Queensryche (yeah, yeah, I know) might be able to do it.
That's just odd.....
what say ye about the upcoming Queen tour, with Paul Rodgers fronting?
I don't hold with it. Old rockers need to give it up when they're, you know, old. And any incarnation of Queen without Freddie's angelic voice (okay, he couldn't hit the high notes near the end) is sinful.
I also rarely think to listen on the computer, even though I've got a whole bunch of stuff on iTunes. I've found that since fatherhood hit me 4+ years ago, I count myself lucky when we're listening to Justin Roberts (anyone? anyone? if you've got kids, he's brilliant). Even when the wife and kid are in bed I never think to, but thanks for jarring the mind going. Death Cab for Cutie is now on.
And now I'm going to try to go back to sleep. Peace be with you all, even the vile trolls.
g. washington took command of the ragtaq Continental Army under a tree on the Cambridge Commons and proceeded, after a few long, hard winters, to kick the Emperor's Army's ass. toom him a few years, and the help of the French Navy, butt he did it. decisively. long live the Enlightenment Project. death to Furious George's New, Better, Enhanced Enlightenment Project.
George Washington was also known to trust in the French of all people and let French Generals command US troops.
And those Frenchy bastards left us with a country that would breed democracy, freedom and George W Bush. God damn the French and their smelly cheese and tasty wine!!
Are you kidding me??? Paul Rodgers singing Queen? Paul has a great voice but he's not the right guy to sing Queen. Geoff Tate from Queensryche (yeah, yeah, I know) might be able to do it.
For real. John Deacon refused to do it ( maybe he is the smartest Queen after all), so a kid from Long Island named Danny Miranda is playing bass.
High disaster potential, if you ask me. Either that, or they'll be doing a lot of BadCo... or am I being redundant?
Anybody catch Bill Maher tonight? Robin Williams was surprisingly good, kept up with Joe Biden all the way. Tommy Thompson was just....Tommy Thompson.
More Propagannon
Paul Rodgers singing Queen?
A quite effective soulful singer, but Paul didn't have Mercury's upper register even in his prime. And one of Queen's professional trademarks was the vocal quality.
I don't see how it will work.
The Queen tour is a stupid idea.
However, if you can still do it when you're pushing 60, than go right ahead. Sabbath still can. The Stones should've given up long ago.
Nonetheless, the Queen tour is a stupid idea.
Oh yeah, Easongate is sooooo huge. Thats why all the major networks (sans FOX) had 20 minute segments on Guckert! Eason who?
Paul has a great voice but he's not the right guy to sing Queen. Geoff Tate from Queensryche (yeah, yeah, I know) might be able to do it.
George Michael, or none at all.
I'd prefer none at all.
But seriously, did Brian May sign up for this?
That John Deacon is one smart guy.
Thers, if you're still here.... tell Mary i'm listening to English Beat... and just hold my hand while I come... to a decision on it....
"Thank you for having me on CSpan three months after the election, Brian. I know George Washington lied when he said that he never told a lie. I was there when he told his father. Well, actually we moved onto that farm after the Washington's sold it. But everybody knows he actually wrote Parson Weems' stories for him. And, he really wasn't much of a general. Stuck up sonafabitch, too, forever walking around like his teeth hurt or something..."
One band that surprised me with their comeback tour was Foreigner. Sure, it was Lou and Mick and some young kids, but they brought the tent down, as it were....
Central S, sorry to hear that you've been having a tough time. I hope it gets better soon.
Goodnight to all. Thanks for the good company.
I thought the Paul Rodgers w/Queen thing was a joke, when I first heard it.
There is no way that's gonna work. Na ga da.
But seriously, did Brian May sign up for this?
Yep. Brian and Roger are in, Deacon's not.
I think it's a hare-brained scheme, personally.
NTodd, since I know you are a Russophile, you'll be amused (or horrified) to know that when I was in Moscow this past fall "Queen the Musical" was attracting quite a bit of attention.
Deep Purple is also quite big. They showed a news conference with one of them (Ian Gillan?) sitting with one of Luzhkov's vice-mayors (name escaping me), who apparently was a rocker in his youth -- and commented that it is not often that one gets to sit next to "takaia velichina" in the world of rock ...
-- Stu
And CS, I agree that George Michael would be the guy. He was the standout at the Freddie Tribute show.
Oops, guess NTodd was on his way out the door ...
I saw DP in 87 and they kicked the proverbial ASS. My god, I don't know how Gillan could sing like that. And they def didn't skimp on the stage/light show.
mena,
Thank you for your concern.
I'll be alright.
It's just life.
My nominee for the lead singer on the Queen tour is....
envelope, please....
Meatloaf.
The best old bands are the one who never went away. Cheap Trick still rocks every night.
Stony, now you must DIE!!!! lol
C.S.
Wha happen'?
Brian May was also involved in the Queen Musical. Seem to be on the "milkingitforwhateveritsworth" train.
And those Frenchy bastards left us with a country that would breed democracy, freedom and George W Bush. God damn the French and their smelly cheese and tasty wine!!
Ripley
The french can take back that Statue of Liberty too. Liberty is so 20th Century.
Oh and I'm listening to "Strange Days" by The Doors.
My nominee for the lead singer on the Queen tour is....
envelope, please....
Meatloaf.
Stony Curtis
That
would
be
AWESOME!!!!
... and it's "Meat Loaf" (2 words), or Mr. Loaf.
Or "Your Loafness"
Steely Dan: Aja. The best.
Karin, no have not read - I will, tho' - thanks!
Blak - yeah, I thought so!!
Fenian...it was a St Jean, I'm fairly certain, tho' too lazy right now to go find my book to confirm which Jean/John. It would be perfectly believable, however, that "gift" of smallpox.
Disciples of Jeebus have way too often incorrectly believed that the bennies of Xianity far outweighed the consequences, eh?
I was not raised in a religious household. My dad was a pantheist, if he could even be labeled. My mother took a bit of this and a bit of that to fashion her construct, as have I, though different from hers.
Aha - I knew Gannuckert had held various positions in his pre-faux-journalist days, but I had forgotten he was a one-hit wonder on top of everything else! (All puns intended.) He's clearly too sexy for the briefing room....
So if you were close enough to touch the band members, you could brag that you "pinched a loaf" at the Queen concert.
And drive-by trivia: Jim Stein, who wrote a lot of the Loaf songs, also wrote Total Eclipse of the Heart for Bonnie Tyler. Like you couldn't tell....
I saw DP in 87 and they kicked the proverbial ASS. My god, I don't know how Gillan could sing like that. And they def didn't skimp on the stage/light show.
Saw DP at Jones Beach a few years back, with ELP and Dream Theater opening. Gillan couldn't even talk before the show, but when he hit the stage, that voice was all there.
And I noticed Steve Morse had a huge scab oon his left forearm. After the show, I asked a friend who was working the show what was up with his arm, and how he could play like that.
He said, 'That ain't half of it. He dumped his motorcycle last week in Atlanta. He's playing with two broken ribs.'
Morse fits that band like a glove, even though he ain't Blackmore.
I saw DP in March 85 on the "Perfect Strangers" tour, great stuff. Too bad Ian Gillan is such a dickcheese, he's an excellent singer.
Wha happen'?
Stony Curtis,
Like I said, it's just life.
Lots of stuff I'd rather not talk about right now.
That's just me.
Jim Stein, who wrote a lot of the Loaf songs, also wrote Total Eclipse of the Heart for Bonnie Tyler.
Steinman...
I don't think the guy is capable of writing a three-minute song.
When I saw A Perfect Circle in April 04, Josh Freese played drums with a blown-out knee and still did a great job.
popping back in "New of the World" yep that's it. Thanks all.
He had about the same expression too in the interview.
C.S.
May it pass quickly.
CS- Whatever's going on with you, just know that we're here for you 100%.
Thanks, Stony.
Holy crap.... Steve Morse and Dream Theater in one night? I'd be on artiste overload. I'm an ex-guirarist, frustrated-guitartist turned bass player. lol Dream Theater is too good to live. I don't dig all their songs but those music school kids can plunk out a tune, eh?
Morse used to write a column in Guitar Player magazine and mentioned how he was turned down for a gig with the Allman Bros cuz his chops weren't up to par. THAT is humility, my guitar-loving friends.
And you too Blak!
I appreciate it.
CS, I have AMEX... if you need that kind of help. And I have e-mail, if you need that kind of help, friend.
Oh yeah, been listening to Melbourne's finest station RRR-FM via streaming radio. The current show covers everything "from dub to free jazz to caterwauling guitar...." Just right for Friday late-night (though of course it's Saturday evening there).
Steve Morse? Not up to par? That does not compute. He must've been injured or sick.
Ok, I just noticed that I spelled "guitar" wrong twice in one sentence. And yet I expect you to believe that I actually played one... oh, the hubris!!
Re: Old (really OLD) Rockers still performing....
I agree w/you youngsters. It's an abomination. Rest on your laurels, say I. Encourage - and help - up and comers. But, damn, pack your old egos away and do everyone a favor and stay off tour, off stage!!! Hell, you've made enuff $$.
Dream Theater is too good to live. I don't dig all their songs but those music school kids can plunk out a tune, eh?
Buncha music geeks. Gotta love 'em, tho.
Morse used to write a column in Guitar Player magazine and mentioned how he was turned down for a gig with the Allman Bros cuz his chops weren't up to par. THAT is humility, my guitar-loving friends.
Morse is without a doubt one of the sweetest people in the music industry. First time I met him (back when they were still the Dixie Dregs), he let me sit down and play his Frankenstein Tele. Most guitar gods would pull a Nigel Tufnel, but not Morse.
Gillan jokes that whenever Purple has a day off, Morse records another solo album. Not really much of an exaggeration, really.
I saw him last year with the Dregs, and Jerry Goodman from Mahavishnu was playing violin. Their encore - 'Birds of Fire' and 'Inner Mounting Flame.' Pretty amazing.
In California, there is no way to tell what season it is. It's always 70 degrees and like summertime. You don't experience the joy of the rebirth of life at springtime.
No, Blak, his gist for the column was, "keep your chops up cuz you never know when you'll get a call". And I thought, man - that guy has chops and BALLS to write a column like that.
I expect you to believe that I actually played one... oh, the hubris!!
Ripley
But, but I seent you in a pitcher you put on the nets holdin' a axe a while back.
CS, you may not appreciate it coming from a nobody, but I do hope whatever it is works out for you, one human to another.
I'm just up too late or would never have noticed or intruded.
SD
While we're talking about old rockers, here's a shot of the Old Man at work.

The "rebirth of life" thingee don' pull no weight aroun' cheer when the driveway need shuvlin'.
Speaking of guitar gods, I got to see Michael Hedges about a year before he died. Damn that boy could play!
Ripley,
So kind of you to offer.
I'll be OK, trust me.
Still, Thank you.
SD- You are not a nobody. Stop saying silly things like that.
The bicycles go by in twos and threes
There's a dance in Billy Brennan's barn tonight,
And there's the half-talk code of mysteries
And the wink-and-elbow language of delight.
The Purple People Eater, Stony... man, what a piece of crap bass that was.
Most guitar gods would pull a Nigel Tufnel, but not Morse.
Stranger, I read an interview with Warren D'Martini from RATT once and he had some custom-made ESP or Charvel that he wouldn't let anyone play. Even when His hero Joe Perry showed up, he wouldn't let him play it. What is it with guitar gods?
Speaking of guitar gods, I got to see Michael Hedges about a year before he died. Damn that boy could play!
I've got a video of Hedges at Red Rocks. He was astounding.
Sarah Deere,
You're a sweetheart, and certainly not a nobody.
I'm off to bed now, big day tomorrow.
Be well, all you Moonbats!
What is it with guitar gods?
Ripley
Would you let Hank Aaron use *your* bat?
What is it with guitar gods?
You got me, Rip.
Hell, I don't consider my guitars properly tweaked until they've got a layer of dust and some beer spilled on them.
I look at guitars as tools, and most people I know don't wipe down their hammer after they're done driving nails. I'm brutal on my guitars.

Haaretz is reporting that amerikan Neo-Nazi's have been given permission to commemorate George Washington. how apropos, eh?
The National Socialist Movement plans to hold a rally June 25 at the Yorktown Battlefield, Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said Friday.
However, the group probably will not have the rally on its chosen site - Surrender Field, which is where the British army surrendered to Gen. George Washington to end the Revolutionary War.
I've got a video of Hedges at Red Rocks. He was astounding.
That would have been one to see! I've seen more than a few Red Rocks shows, but Hedges was in small club when I saw him. Not as grand in scale but certainly more personal.
It's always 70 degrees and like summertime.
Hmm, depends on what part of Cali; here in the Bay Area we've hit our monsoon season. Been raining solid all week. Now granted, not the kind of seasons Anon was getting at, but it definitely makes the foothills green.
Man, I didn't realize it was so late.
Fuck Bush with hot death!
There... things are as they should be...
Hell, I don't consider my guitars properly tweaked until they've got a layer of dust and some beer spilled on them.
I remember years ago, I had just purchased a Fender Jazz Special, and I would polish it just as steadfastly as a Rick Rudd sychophant would his Camaro.
Then my dog scratched a slice down the black mirror finish and I freaked.
Then paused.
Then thought, that looks cool as shit.
sd,
I, for one (one nobody to another) dig your posts here. nothing ain't worth nothing if it ain't free.
sdf, I was out there for 2 weeks around Xmas. I stayed at the Hyatt Emarcadero and my room looked over the bay and the Kristi Yamaguchi ice rink. Had a great time, aside from the corp credit card hazards.
God, I love talking old rock bands.
I saw Deep Purple on that same '87 tour as Ripley, about a week before Blackmore broke his finger and they cancelled the rest of the N. American tour. They were amazing.
Steve Morse is a phenomenal guitarist. I've been playing for almost 20 years (10 years pro and semi-pro, back in the day), and I can't do half the shit he does. He actually was the first stadium show I saw, back in 1986, opening for Rush (who are phenomenal live).
One of my old bands opened for Dream Theater back in 1994. Very good down-to-earth guys, and I probably learned more watching John Petrucci shred for two hours straight than I could have in a year of lessons from a mortal.
Another band that you wouldn't think of, but was really excellent live, is Mr. Big. They got lumped in with all those power-ballad hair bands, but they rocked live. If you can find an import copy of Raw Like Sushi, grab it. I got to hang with them a few times on their '91 tour (mutual friends), at the peak of their popularity. Absolutely excellent guys, the nicest people you would want to meet, especially Paul Gilbert, who is every bit as virtuosic as Petrucci or Morse.
In California, there is no way to tell what season it is. It's always 70 degrees and like summertime. You don't experience the joy of the rebirth of life at springtime.

Were you the Anonymous who hurled the rest area comment at me last night like an accusation?
Stony,
That's what I'm talkin' about.
I have two guitars that I take reasonably good care of (mostly for sentimental reasons -they're not particularly valuable) - but I've got 16 total, and the rest of them get the beatings they deserve.
Those were the days, man. I chipped a tooth in one of our patented "hold the beer bottle in your mouth, tip your head back and keep playing" stunts one nite. It was not a good stage show, that.
ripley,
at the plaza below where you stayed bono and his band once played. it was fun. what a place, the streeets of san francisco. but the hyatt, their brunch sucks compared to the St. Francis, not to speak of the Mark Hopkins. oy, what good times a brunch in the city by the bay will bring.
Well, there are guitar gods(Morse, Blackmore, Perry, etc) and there are wankers(Warren freakin D'Martini).
The 80s were a dark age for rock guitar, IMAO.
I see our buddy Jimmy G dug himself a deeper hole today, after being coached by Rove's buddies.
He actually was the first stadium show I saw, back in 1986, opening for Rush (who are phenomenal live).
I saw this tour. Altogether, I've seen Rush 9 times, always worth the money.

I mostly agree. I enjoyed young Eddie VH, but the first VH album got bumped from the turntable when I got my copy of 'Bollocks.'
I lived in an apartment in Queens at the time. My neighbors hated me.
Heywood, could I ask the name of your band?
As for Mr Big, what an under-the-radar supergroup! It's too bad they came into the scene during the last days of hard rock. Sheehan is a freak on the bass and Gilbert was the silent creeper amongst the guitar people in the know - Racer X fame, and all.
I knew the
