I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
beauty kitties! i love them
ok.... little confused
Is that a cat's butt in my face?
frist- keep away from the cats
More kitties:
http://blog.cyberkrunk.com:8081
Those two are such pussies.
Is it just me or is at least one of those cats in a purrsistent vegetative state?
I suggest a catnip drip.
CNN poll: Do you believe Terry Sciavo is suffering?

Just up. Go.
Black and white cats. I promise I won't post anything else until next week.
And before anyone asks, yes... I am a veterinary neurologist.
Friday Baby and Cat Blogging. While you're there, please sign Mrs. Otter's birthday card. 40 years old and 37.5 weeks pregnant!
Best. Catblogging. Ever.
...AND I can tell just by looking at catblogging pictures.
Wiley is Joshua Plutonium Juniper.
Someone else may check on the other... can't remember, is it gizmo?
Tele-Kitties!
Sweet kitties they are. But what are their Indian names?
The cats know! They know! They are all knowing!
Fuck Frist.
Is there a real Ted Smith and a fake Ted Smith?
Cats have perfected the persistent vegetative state, this is how they fool mice.
Extraordinary R -
What last name are you plugging in?
I put in "Wiley Black" and got a cute one:
William Pookish Mayfly!
Is there a real Ted Smith and a fake Ted Smith?
There's me then there's a half dozen or more cowardly little twits who steal my name.
Thanks for asking.
Res, the real question is, how many Faces of Eve does Ted do?
Kitties like nice soft blankies. I bought a fake fur one recently and my gray cat lives on it.
LIBERAL ELITISTS: Cocktail hour approaches .... Be sure to indulge in libations and snackies that will perpetuate the liberal elitist meme:

I will copy the top picture of Wiley's butt for my eternal enjoyment!
And here's some blogwhoring:

Res, the real question is, how many Faces of Eve does Ted do?
It's a catblogging thread. Do you really want to ruin it with this sort of thing?
Watching cable TV, I don't blame the cats for dropping off.
Yay fwuff!
Res Ipsa Loquitor-
What about scotch? Ferrets everywhere want to know!
The technical competence of the average computer user was higher in the 1980's than it is today. It's a phenomenon known as progress.

I nominate you for a Nobel Polk Award for Veterinary Neurocosmology.
Ooooh, grey kitty's going to jump!
What I'm starting to wonder is whether Atrios Black is related to my courtesy Uncle Robert Black, Q.C. of Calgary. That would be neat. It wouldn't mean anything particularly, but it would be neat.
Wish Arthur would let -me- have a nice pink sofa. We have to have one that matches -him.-
You know, I don't even know how to answer that poll question. Is she "suffering", no, I don't think she literally is suffering, but it seems like several courts have decided that there is enough evidence that she wouldn't want to "live" as she currently is "living".
What she would have wanted is more the issue to me than her actual physical condition at this point. I wouldn't want to continue living like that, and apparently neither did she.
Honestly, this whole thing is really creeping me out. It's almost like she's already dead and her parents want to keep her corpse around so that they won't miss her, and that's just sick to me.
Wiley is up much too late for a little kitty.
Otter: yay for cats with attitude, and yay to Mrs Otter and the little one...
Oooo, are we whoring? There's a new pic of Rosie at my homepage.
Got nothin here
So there is a real Ted Smith and six fake Ted Smiths. That explains my confusion.
That second picture is two hard at work cats, clocked in for their shift.
Don't be persuaded otherwise, Astral plane flight control is very difficult work.
I was just about to ask where the easter kitties were.... atrios must be psychic!!
Later I will have guest dog blogging for you- I'm babysitting my colleague's dog Shasta for the weekend.
Action photos, nice!
Not so nice, YOW!
And as a special miscellaneous bonus...
even less nice.
I nominate you for a Nobel Polk Award for Veterinary Neurocosmology.
PapaJijo
Thank you. I'm adding that to my CV at this moment.
Is it just me or is at least one of those cats in a purrsistent vegetative state?
That was just awful. 
What about Scotch?
I guess that's okay, provided it is single malt and imported.

Damn NTodd - You were a downright gorgeous little boy.
sc, ooo, very artful Edward Hopperish kitties.
Nobel Prize nominations for everybody!! Happy Easter!!
Thanks, in fact, to everybody who shares their kitties. And babies. And embroidery. And stuff.
But where are the ripped jeans?
In the mending basket, where did you think?
Lovely cats, although why you let them watch TV, even the Daily Show, is beyond me. (Although I am still looking for that bird video to entertain my two, if only to keep them from destroying the blinds in search of flying food.)
Just thought I'd point something out...despite the Irish Catholic sounding name, Patrick Mahoney is not Catholic. He is, in fact an ordained minister of the Reformed Presbyterian Church and had, as of 2000, three daughters.
Randy Terry is also not Catholic as well...I think that this whole shebang is being propelled by fundievangelicals rather than Catholics.
Soprano,
Are you a Georgian?
They're sleeping on opposite ends of the couch...Did they have a fight or something?
NTodd .. What a cute kid you were!
Holy Christ, is that a black Ken Mehlman on Crossfire?
He has that same slobbering speech impediment. Now all he needs is one in the poop chute.
I think whoever is spamming me with porn ads is using the Indian name site to generate their names.

That's what I think! Is it me, or are the names getting weirder? I got one from Woodener F. Unconvincingly today.
Emmaline, what's Ther's Indian name?
Fluffy ...
Randi R. is devoting almost her entire show to debunking the Vile Spokesman of the Shindler Family: Randall Terry.
Of course, Terry spent his youth sucking on a bong and doing mushrooms.
And for sharing Arthur. (Sorry, GWPDA, didn't mean to leave him out!)
Re: my toddler picture - I was oft mistaken for my aunt's "beautiful niece".
Is there something wrong with spending one's youth sucking on a bong and doing mushrooms? Is it wrong because there was no LSD involved?
Uhhh....
Thers is Dennis Tranquil Brains, which is weird, since his brother's name is Dennis and this would suit my brother-in-law better.

Great embroidery! Congrats.
Hmm... this looks like a vague threat on Free Republic. Ought I report this to the FBI?
They got the "Brains" right, though.

Res Ipsa - Of course, Terry spent his youth sucking on a bong and doing mushrooms.
Oy - I don't know what happens to people - it just makes no sense. I spent my youth stoned, too. I'm not a born again wingnut.
I guess Terry figured out that the pay is better being a born again crusader than it is for being a stoner.

This is really weird: My Indian name is Loretta Oscillating Singer.
I'm Philip Corrosive Bunny. Well, they got the "Corrosive" right.
I've got that same blanket for my geezer kitties, and they too, find it excellent for 18-hour catnaps.
I was doing everyone I know, I mean..
Anyway it's funny cos my better half's first name came out George which is the Anglo name he picked when he came to this country but had to switch cos he kept misspelling!

Seriously, I do want to keep a record of the Authentic Indian Names of everyone, so if you have a moment, go post yours in the comment thread on my site, if you haven't done so as yet.
I appreciate it!
Res Ipsa Loquitor: Is that a cat's butt in my face?
Indeed it is. That's why "Q" stands for "cat" in my language -- it looks like a cat, sitting with its back towards you.

My point -- which I didn't really get to -- is that it's usually the ones who were the wildest in their youth that grow up to be the biggest zealots. You see it again and again. They give up one addiction for another. In this case, he gave up his weed and 'shrooms for power and fake-Xianity (not to mention, violence).

Yeah! what happened?

Hey Fluffy - is Patrick Mahoney the fat fuck in the bathrobe, with the rope around his waist? Looks like he could stand to have the feeding tube removed for a week or two.
My Indian name is Delia Ragtime Moth.
No new quilts this week, maybe next.
Argh! My catblogging pics are not cooperating, but at least I can tell everyone their Indian Names:

Heh, that's what my folks always say!
Taranto finds that denial isn't a river in Egypt:
It seems obvious that Mrs. Schiavo's parents are chiefly motivated by a desire to save their daughter, not by legal procedure or politics. But given the long history of bad blood between them and Mr. Schiavo, it's not surprising that he wouldn't be able to see this clearly. Similarly, those who are on Mr. Schiavo's side but not personally involved with the case bristle at the suggestion that they are countenancing murder.
Yes, James, and the people who support them are acting purely out of altruistic motives and aren't doing anything to, I don't know, raise money or position themselves for the next campaign or anything.
What a putz.

rorschach, can you post the Indian name site again? I should've bookmarked it, but didn't. Thanks.
Weird names--yes...I heard from both Retrenchment Q. Foresight and Fattening C. Scouring this week....
ignoreland, no I suspect those are some variety of Franciscan. They don't have to be the kinds of Franciscans that populate (for example) the Casa here in Phoenix. They could be tertiaries or oblates for some obscure Franciscan order. In any case, a Reform Presbyterian, Patrick Mahoney wouldn't be caught dead in a "papist getup."
I'd love to quiz Mahoney about that, because if there's one thing that so many of these conservatives Presbyterian Church USA offshoots are into, it's anti-Catholic sentiment.

One of my office pals was cooing over the kitties, et al, and noticed that we seem to be owned by a lot of tux kitties. (One of ours is also a tux. Photos, someday.) She wondered if that is a coincidence--but it occurred to me that it might be because we are Liberal Elitists! What is more elitist than a tux? (/snark)

Cats can't steal the breath
Of children. But if my tail's
Pulled again, I'll learn.
I don't mind being
Teased, any more than you mind
A skin graft or two.

Your "cat carrier." I call
These my "blades of death."

Meowing sounds. I'm convinced:

And the corollary? She's the property of her husband.
The fact is that no one would want to live like this. And the whole country knows it, which is why I'm outraged for her sake but not really for mine. I am more than happy to have them go off on this subject for as long as they please, since it's obvious that the politicians they believe they singlehandedly put into power have abandoned them.

Bush approval slips to 45%, lowest of his presidency
Fri Mar 25, 6:16 AM ET Top Stories - USATODAY.com
By Bill Nichols, USA TODAY
President Bush approval rating has fallen to 45%, the lowest point of his presidency, according to a new USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll.
The finding, in a poll of 1,001 adults Monday through Wednesday, is a dip from 52% in a poll taken last week. Bush's previous lowest rating, 46%, was recorded last May.

America On Debt
How the "Bank" Creates "Federal" Reserve Dollars out of
Nothing!!
Albert Einstein said:
"Compound interest is the
eighth wonder of the world"
Thomas Jefferson said:
"I believe that banking institutions are
more dangerous to our liberties than
standing armies."
Maier Amschel Rothschild said:
"Permit me to issue and control the
money of a nation and I care not
who writes its laws"
The Federal Reserve Bank only creates the
Principal - not the usury or interest that it
lends to the U.S. government. Therefore the
usury can NEVER be repaid and the end
result is foreclosure and bankruptcy.
In 1765, the Bank of England demanded that
the American Colonies pay taxes in British
specie or coins which the people did not
possess. If they had borrowed from the Bank
of England to pay the tax, the end result
would have been the same: foreclosure and
bankruptcy with the Bank owning everything!!
It's the same fatal bite of that old Serpent the
Devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole
world (Rev. 12:9).
No wonder that usury is called nashak or the
bite of a serpent in the Bible.
America On Debt
The "Federal" Reserve Bank loans the U.S. government
their own "money" at usury or interest!!
The power of compound interest or usury.
This graph is an example of ONE Rockefeller billion placed in the bank in 1900 at 6% usury and
compounded annually. At 6% interest the money doubles every 12 years. There is a rule called the Rule of
72 for calculating usury rates. Divide the usury rate by 72 and the quotient will give you the approximate
number of years that it takes the money to double:
The rule of 72
Usury at 4% percent
72
=15 years approx.
4
Usury at 6% percent
72
=12 years approx.
6
Usury at 8% percent
72
=9 years approx.
8
Divide the usury rate by 72 and that will give you the approximate number of years
for the money to double.
There is a more precise way to calculate usury using the computer calculator. Most computers have
calculators. The formula to calculate principal plus interest for one billion dollars is this:1.000.000 multiplied
by 1.06 raised to the power or exponent of 96 equals 268.759.030 billion dollars!! You can also cheat and go
here!!
America On Debt
How the "Bank" of Rome creates Federal Reserve Notes out of
nothing!!
Step 1 in "money" creation
The "Bank" of Rome
Fiat "money" creation begins when the "Bank" of
Rome decides that the U.S. is ready for another
bite from that old serpent the Devil. They instruct
their American branch the Federal Reserve Bank
to order Congress to raise the debt limit by $1
billion.
Step 2 in "money" creation
The U.S. Congress
Congress obeys the "Federal" Reserve Bank
and instructs the U.S. Treasury to print $1 billion
interest bearing bonds and sell them to the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Step 3 in "money" creation
The U.S. Treasury
The U.S. Treasury prints the$1 billion interest
bearing bonds and sells them to the Federal
Reserve Bank!! As security or collateral they
offer the INCOME TAX collected from the
taxpayers. The U.S. Treasury prints only the
Principal . . . not the usury or interest.
Step 4 in "money" creation
"Federal" Reserve Bank of New York
The "Federal" Reserve or the Fed buys the
usury bearing bonds and credits the U.S.
Treasury for $1 billion. The government must
now pay back the bonds with INTEREST. As the
interest was not created, it can NEVER be
repaid with "Federal" Reserve Dollars!!
In a closed monetary system like the U.S., only "Federal" Reserve Notes are legal tender to pay back the
bonds. Gold and silver are REAL money and could be used to repay the debt but they are stored in
Switzerland and credited to the account of the "Bank" of Rome.
America On Debt
Since the Treasury only printed the PRINCIPAL not the usury or interest the money can NEVER be repaid....
The end result is bankruptcy and foreclosure for the government. This is the very same scam that the Bank
of England tried to impose on the Colonies when they made specie or coin the only means to repay the
king's tax.
Here is another example of money creation by the Federal Reserve Bank. The diagram is from The Truth in
Money Book by Theadore R. Thoren and Richard F. Wagner. Thoren and Wagner were experts n the
Federal Reserve System and monetized debt creation. However they were not aware of the Secrets of the
"Bank" of Rome and the real identity of the moneychangers and their crusade to destroy this country by debt
and usury.
The American people have to pay usury on their own money. Not even the Mafia could have dreamed up a
more stupendous scam than this!!
THIS IS THE GREATEST SCAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!!
Usury is the ONLY cause of inflation!!
America On Debt
Growth of usury on the Federal debt follows an
exponential curve e.g., 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc, etc.
Inflation robs a currency of its purchasing power until eventually it buy NOTHING. Before the fall of the
Roman Empire, the government debased the currency by clipping the coins and adding less and less silver
and gold. Inflation does the same thing to a paper currency as the paper becomes worthless and people
lose all faith in the fiat. Eventual collapse can be postponed by printing more and more "money" but
eventually the day of reckoning finally arrives.
Editor's Notes
Federal Reserve Founder John D., said:
"Among the early experiences that were helpful to me that
I recollect with pleasure was one in working a few days for
a neighbour in digging potatoes very enterprising, thrifty
farmer, who could dig a great many potatoes. I was a boy of
perhaps thirteen or fourteen years of age, and It kept me very
busy from morning until night. It was a ten-hour day. And
as I was saving these little sums I soon learned that I could
get as much interest for fifty dollars loaned at seven
percent. The legal rate in the state of New York at
that
time for a years I could earn by digging potatoes for
100 days. The impression was gaining ground with me that it
America On Debt
John D. Rockefeller (Mr. Usury)
in 1872.
was a good thing to let the money be my slave and not make
myself a slave to money"
(Ida Tarbell, History of the Standard Oil Co., p.41).
What a pity he didn't stay digging potatoes... The world would be a much better place today.
John D. Rockefeller was the founder of the "Federal" Reserve Bank. He was a typical usurer. Letting other
people do the work and then reaping the benefits. It is a shame that the pious hypocrite NEVER heard a
sermon on usury when he attended the Euclid St. Baptist Church every Sunday.
Even though the "Federal" Reserve Bank has the name FEDERAL in it's title, it has no connection with the
Federal Government except that it OWNS the government.... The President of the U.S. and Secretary of the
Treasury do not sit on its board!! The Chairman is appointed for a period of 14 years. The President does
appoint him but that is just a formality as the Fed can easily ruin an uncooperative President by causing a
recession or depression.

Alabama Tea Party: Call to Arms
By S. J. Miller
MichNews.com
Mar 8, 2005
Russ Fine's "Call to Arms" at Saturday's Alabama Tea Party left no doubt why his group had such difficulty in finding a meeting place. There's no doubt that Alab
woot comes by once a while.
Much of the Old Crew is gone. I suppose, we are the second benchers, we take over when the team loses.
GO TEAM.
Rah rah.
Is jftb still around? The Rude Pundit has a good post up on the Minneapolis school shootings and chimpy's non-reaction.
Awesome cat blogging! Are the boys angry? They're not all lovey dovey today.
Much of the Old Crew is gone.
Eh?
I think somebody is sick of it.
Yoiks! It's Adonais!

'Scuse me?
Old Man/24- too cool. I was gonna ssk if there was someone here who knew microbreweries cos our town just got one and review was mentioning lagers and such, but...if I normally drink Millers Light what would be good to get to start off with until I get my sea legs?

I'm writing my Congressional Delegation demanding they nominate you for the Nobel Peace Price in Safe Aesthetics.
NTodd the Renowned
Thanks NTodd, I would like to think that my aesthetics are safe and comfy, fun for the whole family! Well, except for the drug advocacy.
Is no aesthetic safe around here?
Ashlyn Gere
Nope. You'll have to defend the conventional wisdom on Camus, Pound, and Cole Porter against every conceivable rational criticism all by your lonesome, with nothing to aid you but invincible ignorance and self-satisfaction.
I think it is that a lot of the old crew just doesn't post much anymore.
I have been reading and posting, going on 2.5 years or so, and although I read the posts, and most of the comments, I just post nearly as much as I used to.
But then, I have my own blog to worry about, and try and find stuff to put there.
speaking of which, My friday dog blogging question and answer period is running
Johnson Sentimental Pickle.
Top that if you can.
Rorschach, could'nt get the comments to work at your site.
Foorlose: if its a brewpub they often will give small smaples of their various beers for free. Taste them and see which you like!
what the hell is all the mrsickofitman stuff? Is that all one post? It's uber-confusing.
Er, ah, I don't post nearly as much as I used to.
TJ,
It's uber RUDE to cheney up a thread like that. Jeeze.
Mrmicrofitman.
Much of the Old Crew is gone.
Ahemmm.
Ntodd and I are still here.
most brew pubs make a red ale. they are all pretty similar. that is my standard quaff, but i will try anything. frederick brewing co. in frederick, md makes hempen ale, which includes hemp seeds in the recipe. doesn't get you high or anything, but it tastes pretty good.
I'd love to quiz Mahoney about that, because if there's one thing that so many of these conservatives Presbyterian Church USA offshoots are into, it's anti-Catholic sentiment.
Backwards Fluffy. The 'offshoots' are offshoots of the Southern Presbyterian church, which was split from the United Presbyterians during the Civil War. They have absolutely nothing to do with the Presbyterian Church USA, United Presbyterianism or in fact any form of Presbyterianism of the last 100 years. The so-called 'covenanting' Presbyterians to whom Ahmanson and his ilk kow-tow, are nothing more than an imitation of ill-understood, and badly misled rightwing, 1840s 'Protestantism', normally understood to involve the most bigotted of theologies.
I speak of percentages....the "election" freaked out quite a few regulars....
Oh, for fuck's sake. The Schinler's are claiming their nearly dead daughter is saying, as of this very moment, saying "I want to live!" Those people are monsters. And fuck the media for pretending this is anything more than nonsence.
Thanks to the efforts of the insanely long post someone dumped opn us above, I re-iterate, < ahref="http://home.comcast.net/~chessie-in-md"/>Good Friday Bird Blogging!

cheney up a thread? i assume that's as good as to bogart a joint?

Footloose,
If you are going to branch out from Miller Lite, you will need to take it slow (This is from someone who used to think Busch and Natural lite were a good beer).
Start with a mild ale or an IPA.
Pilsners, IPAs and Heffeweisens are my favorite, with Stouts, and bitters following.
Once you get the taste for something other than American mass produced shit, you get addicted to trying every kind of beer out there.
After all according to a BBC study Beer is not fattening any more.
You dirty little boy, you talk just like Clarence.
I'll note that I NEVER make reference to pubies on Coke cans. I do have standards...
I'll stop - for some reason I'm Cheneying up my HTML today. Great job Atrios catching the cat actually watching where you'd have them looking.
People back off for a while and take a break, but most seem to come back.
david is right. ipa is good (india pale ale). most brewpubs make one.
Thanks David. And old Man -they did mention a class or something once a month which i plan on attending (shades of Sideways) cos i have given the ultimatum speech and the sun is setting.
Footloose,
A nice Russian Imperial Stout should do it.
Don't be a weeny, jump right in and try them all. They usually have samplers.
Just kidding about the R.I.S. tho.
They're usually 9% + Alcohol.
Who mourns for Adonais?
I weep for Adonais - he is dead!
O, weep for Adonais! though our tears
Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head!
And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years
To mourn our loss, rouse thy obscure compeers,
And teach them thine own sorrow, say: "With me
Died Adonais; till the Future dares
Forget the Past, his fate and fame shall be
An echo and a light unto eternity!"
PB Shelley
Olaf,
It was reported live on CNN. I shit you not.
bigvic
I saw that on MSNBC. The Schindlers are saying she said "Ahhhhhh" and then "waaaaa," which they interpreted as trying to say "I want to live." Aside from the fact that it could be (even if it did actually happen -- I wouldn't put it past them to lie) just two random vocalizations, someone should point out to them it also could be "I want to die" -- the first two sounds are exactly the same. Frankly, if it did happen, I think it was just random vocalizations. Abrams is calling this claim by the Schindlers unbelievable. He's spit out his kool aid the last few days.
Okay cool cats--gotta run--here's hoping Hecate gets up real early tomorrow morning and puts on a pot for me!
one more thing, footloose, drink the stuff on tap. it really isn't the same if it's bottled. most brewpubs sell the stuff to go in jugs. around here we call them growlers. i don't know why.
The election messed up everybody. I can't quite say I'm the same.
Hey! i googled "Ashley Gere" and damned if it wasn't a...porn site! You mean, i can see naked wimmin on my computer? i gotta call my spiritual advisor right away - my soul is in danger!
Is she Richard Gere's sister or some such?
Oh, jesus h. christ on a pop-tart, another 'emergency hearing':
In addition, a state court in Clearwater, Florida, has scheduled an emergency hearing for 5:30 p.m. on a separate motion filed by the Schindlers. It is not clear what that new emergency motion might be.
i like ordering beer by the growler. it's fun to say.

Might you dare think that the cables are treating this as an excuse to improve ratings and dig through a goldmine? Forget about the William Jennings Bryan influences, this is the good old American way Thorstein Veblen warned you about.
Res - I work downtown by Ground Zero (which I avoid like the plague, talk about tourist attraction).
And Olaf & Taquito. I do remember trying a stout once and about gagged.
I'm sick of this shit.
stout is an acquired taste.
Gay Hating Assholes
Stouts are pretty hard core when you are coming from American style mass produced beer.
Guinness is a good stout to start with, but it is thick, and creamy (mmmmm).
If you want a real powerful beer, go for a triple bock. Puts stouts to shame.
Sam Adams makes a good triple stout.
You are supposed to age it for a year before drinking for best results.
Actually i googled ASHLYN Gere. i cut-n-paste better than whats i type
That should be Sam Adams Triple Bock, not stout
Olaf- review did mention no bottles and yes to growlers. apparently the place is a hit.thanx for the tips.

Been thinking about this all day while painting the garage.
You cannot help but get the sense in one respect that the Schiavo process is going according to plan. The culmination is likely not far away and the pitch has ramped higher. And in a way, I am happier thinking of it as such. That is because the nagging and so far undisputed reality is these people from the little guy out front of the hospital to our legislators on high are all sufffering from and acting a bizarre psychotic episode. This reality disturbs me more each day when I couple with the sheer numbers of people interacting and enabling it. Meanwhile the media feed it, cynically and what I see of the reporting with a touch of glee and eager anticipation. Watch the talking heads, when they are on a diatribe, it comes across as an affectation and not gut, vicereal reaction. When this orgy is over, a lot of people are going to have been hurt and the indictments will likely be many.
Much of the Old Crew is gone.
Eh?
Both Lou Dobbs and Aaron Brown have been pretty good lately on the Shiavo thing. Serious conversation with medical ethics experts. It's nice see something start to offset the hysteria.
Toonscribe
That is remarkable. The nut job on CNN enunciated it better, though.
We now have a situation in which two dangerous elements are coming together in a manner that is ratings gold for exploitative "news" outlets. Yellow journalism, finally returned in all glory.
1. Excite and incite viewers with tales that Ms. Schiavo, awake and alert, is being "murdered" within the walls of her hospice by a conspiracy between an abusive husband, bloodthirsty "expert" doctors, and every single state and federal judge to hear the evidence in the case.
2. Endorse the notion that it may now be time to take Ms. Schiavo by force.
This fucking sucks. I forgot the banks would be closed today for the invisible cloud being. Now I have to buy some beer with goddamn quarters.
Man, I don't understand this, I am dropping words again when I write.
Apparently, I was at work when the good shit was passed around.
I'm sure everyone else visiting their loved ones really appreciate seeing that ass dressed as the Grim Reaper too at the gates. Such compassion.
EkCenTriK, I beg to differ. I would feel much more comfortable thinking this was just unplanned insanity. If this is planned, it bodes horrible doom.
a growler will stay good for a few days if you leave it closed. once you open it you should finish it though.
Ek, you touched on some interesting points and you do a fine job of honing your argument.
But do you really expect us to believe you've been painting all day?
GWPDA-Are you sure about that? While the "Reformed Presybterians" may not be a new offshoot of the PCUSA, a brief google search seems to indicate that perhaps this Reformed Presbyterian church is neither a Southern offshoot or a modern offshoot, but actually an Irish offshoot. As in Presbyterians a la Ian Paisley. Yikes.

I think Ashlyn Gere is a nom de porn pun for "ass in gear" as in "get your ass in gear." If I remember correctly, her claim to fame was anal sex before anal sex was cool.

Hey I took breaks, came here a bit. Heck I textured the walls last night, did a bit of sanding. Then came the primer and a bit ago the color coats.
Hey, what the hell am I being so defensive about....
a flip-flopper coming up on lou dobbs. guess the constituents have let their congressman know he fucked up.
"Vic Snyder, the Arkansas congressman and doctor voted to intervene in the Terri Schiavo case. He explains why he's having second thoughts about whether he did the right thing."
Is agave around? Because I wish to apologize for my insultig comments to agave on the CNN graph thread from several days ago.
I thought agave's comments in response (to my initial comment) were mockng/condescending toward me and I responded with virulence.
Then agave gave a convincingly exculpatory explanation for his/her comment (I think her--I've always assumed agave to be female and have generally liked her or him).
I then realized that my angry response was wrong, though I still say that agave had what we would call in writing class "tone problems"--that he/she sounded nasty sarcastic when in fact he/she was really agreeing with me
In any case I'm worse with fouler temper than agave and say so. Agave's "Well screw you"" is easily forgiven.
A guy came into the store today with a button that said *My dog has never met a Bush he didn't like*. I laughed, and he said that he had lots ot other ones. That one was one of the mild ones.
hee hee.
agave is an asshole. I wouldn't apologize to him for nothing.
fluffy, protestants are all anti catholic to some degree. that's the whole point.
You guys take a break from all this gloom and doom ('cept for the poor fool with just quarters) Can't you just imagine that cartoon God from Monty Python sitting up high snickering or better yet doing that old dog Mutley? The whole thing is one ironic absurdity from the main argument to the timing.

Hey, Atrios, I like your couch, btw.

People who plan a process are in control. Whether we like the results is not the issue I have at hand. They are reachable because at some point, if things go badly for them, they may back down. When you contend with people who are in control, you can make some assumptions natural to the situation.
If these folks are clearly gone, reacting to some pied piper in their demented psyche, they are then truly irrational and likely not capable of giving up the fight. They will gnaw their arms off to complete whatever the voices in their heads are telling to accomplish.

Tonight's Bobo's World:
Ex-pastor, televangelist is accused of raping girl
In Lexington, Kentucky:
Just before Christmas, police arrested a 58-year-old former televangelist most recently associated with a Lexington funeral home and charged him with third-degree rape of a 15-year-old girl.
The Rev. Larry Allen Day is the former pastor of churches in Monticello and Lexington and, until his arrest, helped Lexington families with funeral pre-planning as an independent contractor associated with Milward Funeral Directors...
On Dec. 16, 2004, the mother of a 15-year-old girl went to the girl's Fayette County school to report that the girl had been repeatedly subjected to sexual contact by Day, according to a search warrant affidavit.
The alleged victim's mother told authorities that Day was under the belief that the girl, whom court records don't identify, was pregnant, and that he had offered the girl's mother $500 to pay for an abortion, the affidavit said.
If this was planned, the judiciary is in horrible danger.
OK, Blogger is finally working again.
And thus, I respectfully direct your attention to Friday Nudibranch Blogging.

If God bestowed on Terri the ability to say one sentence to finally put an end to all of this mess and she suddenly sat up and said "I want to die, now!" directly to her mother's face, they would still keep up their fight. The family admitted it themselves, in court. And the Fundies couldn't care less about Terri's real wishes or for Terri for that matter. This is about their cause (and with it fundraising and recruitment). That poor woman is being horribly used.
I read somewhere that Terri was a very shy woman and her past bulimia shows she was very concerned about her physical appearance. How cruel then to show her ravaged body over and over again on those video clips!
I see, you mean the ringmasters. Are they in control, or are they not in control?
Hmm... actually, neither thought is very comforting.

this Reformed Presbyterian church is neither a Southern offshoot or a modern offshoot, but actually an Irish offshoot. As in Presbyterians a la Ian Paisley. Yikes.
The division of the Presbyterianism in the US occurs during the Civil War. Prior to that, the denomination draws its theology from that originating with John Knox in Scotland, transferred to Northern Ireland as part of the English occupation, and thence to the regions of Virginia and the Carolinas. As Presbyterianism evolves, in the Northern States, moving farther and farther away from the Covenanting Presbyterianism of the 1600s, the rift between North and South grows broader. The Southern Presbyterian Church and the United Presbyterian Church schism is effective until the 1980s when the two forms re-merge. Meanwhile, the Presbyterianism of Northern Ireland, fully as isolated in its development as that of Georgia or the Carolinas, continues. The trick of course to Presbyterianism as a denomination is that it is governed by a presbyterian authority, rather than an ecclesiastical one, and thus is prone to theological drift. It is entirely fair therefore to say that United Presbyterianism is quite a different form of religious exercise from even that now understood as part of the Presbyterian Church USA. The Northern Irish variety - which you are correct in pegging to Ian Paisley and that ilk - is very close indeed to that now being termed Covenant Presbyterianism. Very, very old school. However fond I am, for example, of John Knox (the man surely won the award for worst timing of any religious figure known - also for marrying entirely too young a girl, and for having the screwiest staircase I have ever had to climb, and the nuttiest house), his theology was as cramped as his house. United Presbyerians do not any longer believe that there are only 144 saved souls in the entire history of the entire world. Alas, I believe the Covenanters do.
As always, excellent nudi pic, Phila.

(Oooh, that reminds of that X song, "Your Phone's Off the Hook, But You're Not." Time to crank up the iTunes...)
Terri Schiavo's parents have just announced that yesterday she recited the lord's prayer in esperanto.
To clarify a comment of someone else's above:
The Nazi flag is not held aloft by a Schindler supporter (pro-tube, anti-Schiavo) because of self-identification with Nazism, but because the guy is comparing the modern US to the Nazi state. He also holds a poster referring to Auschwitz.
You know, Auschwitz. Tell 'em, Wiki:
"
The three main camps were:
* Auschwitz I, the original concentration camp which served as the administrative centre for the whole complex, and was the site of the deaths of roughly 70,000 Polish intellectuals, gay men and Soviet Prisoners of War
* Auschwitz II (Birkenau), an extermination camp and the site of the deaths of roughly 1 million Jews, 75,000 Poles, gay men and some 19,000 Roma
* Auschwitz III (Monowitz), which served as a labor camp for the IG Farben company
See List of subcamps of Auschwitz for others. The total number of casualties is still under debate, but most modern estimates are around 1-1.5 million [just at this camp complex, obviously; grand total for all would be eleven million plus war casualties].
"
1 to 1½ million people. Just like one white woman who has been brain dead for nearly two decades and asked to die, no?
The protests at the hospice housing Terri Schiavo are affecting the other patients' families in a horrible way.
"To have to maneuver through all of this and have a hostile environment outside when all they want is peace and quiet and to enjoy those few days they have left with a loved one is a horror," said Dr. Morton Getz, executive director of Douglas Gardens Hospice in Miami.
A woman rushing to the hospice to get there before her grandfather died arrived too late because of all the security she had to go through.
Welcome to hell.
Aw, kitties! Wiley had great taste in TV!
Seebach
Exactly, I just tend to feel better fighting something rational versus the completely insane. It bothers me, as I mention the number of people seemingly afflicted is overwhelming.
God, can we just hope that congress sets up a personal account plan for Terri Shiavo before she kicks the bucket?
Only 144? Good gravy. There's more than 144 people in my apartment complex. Mark Twain was right!
Ek,
Chromodoris sphoni, since you asked.
Dude, you got NUTHIN' to be defensive about. Heh.
Sorry, not eccesiastical, but episcopal. Arthur and his Orange Ball demands!
For dogblogging fans: Cairo.
Although it is strange that that isn't a Nazi flag (red field, white ball, black gammadion), that's the more ornate naval ensign (the above with black and white cross on red field and an iron cross in the canton). Which begs the question: where did this guy get it/why did this guy have one? Scrawling a swastika on some posterboard wasn't good enough for him: his message required the most ornate Nazi colors he could get. And on such short notice.
Surely this is an odd coincidence. It would be even more mysterious if it turned out that, say, a wave of intolerance had washed over him recently.
It's a bad idea to hold a huge swastika flag aloft, no matter what your point is. Huge swastika flags tend to obscure your message. Unless your message is, "Go, Nazis."
A woman rushing to the hospice to get there before her grandfather died arrived too late because of all the security she had to go through.
"Her grandfather was brought there three months ago after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer -- and repeatedly told his only grandchild he did not want to die alone."
I will let Terri Schiavo suck on my auxillary nipple if it helps.
Sorry Ek, I'll try again. what a maroon I am.
Hey I took breaks, came here a bit. Heck I textured the walls last night, did a bit of sanding. Then came the primer and a bit ago the color coats.
Bleahflub.
forgot the banks would be closed today for the invisible cloud being.
Cezar Chavez is/was an invisable cloud being?
It's a bad idea to hold a huge swastika flag aloft, no matter what your point is.
Gotta wonder what his Q factor is now. I'll bet Paris will be calling him this weekend.
"You're sooooo burly, nazi-dude. That's hot!"
It's a bad idea to hold a huge swastika flag aloft, no matter what your point is. Huge swastika flags tend to obscure your message. Unless your message is, "Go, Nazis."
So true.
That is one contented looking dog.
NTodd the Divine--Cairo is such a beauty. What's her take on the cats?
Incog--Where does your bad attitide toward agave come from, and do you know that agave is a male?
I'd thought elliptical-style-wise that agave was female, and had liked him or her. I only got in a dispute because agave's writing seemed to mock me, then s/he explained why it wasn't really mocking, and was right. I'm the one who had to apologize, though I doubt agave is here.
Bleahflub.

Gee, maybe that biofuel blog was right. I don't understand us either!
Seebach,
Oh, man. That is awful. That grandchild will really suffer for not being there. I had a problem getting to my grandmother before she passed away and it leaves you with terrible guilt.
Bliekker--Cesar Chavez Day is next week, 31 March.
bigvic
I was wondering about that. I was just about to comment on the Chromodoris sphoni too, which further baffled me.
I was going to suggest phila market them as nudi pin-up posters and deliver in small brown paper wrappers.
And Ntodd, that is a wild pic of Cairo.
GWPDA - plus if you're gonna do Communion then do it right- not with pretend cups and Wonder bread torn into pieces!
NTodd, that is one beautiful dog.
And who might that darling little lad on the left side be?
Too cute.
So many Bobo's World reports I can't type them fast enough:
Rev faces girl-rape rap
A charismatic Queens preacher went on trial yesterday accused of seducing an underaged church member he allegedly sweet-talked into a bed full of stuffed animals.
"He would say that the priest should sleep with the virgin and that's okay to do this because he loved me," the alleged victim, now 21, told jurors in a hushed courtroom yesterday.
Bishop William Waynes, founder and pastor of the New Beginning Outreach Love Center, is charged with statutory rape, a crime that carries a prison term of up to four years.
Prosecutors say Waynes, 47, who holds a second job as a staffer at Fox Channel 5, began molesting the girl when she was 15 - and bedded her just after her Sweet 16 party in 2000.
A quote from Kierkegaard in a recent New Yorker:
"Christianity is the invention of Satan, calculated to make human beings unhappy."
"Is this really the blood of Christ?"
"Yes"
"Oh man, that guy must have been wasted 24 hrs a day!"
Peter Griffin
seebach--that is horrible. do you have a link?
Bliekker--Cesar Chavez Day is next week, 31 March.
I could have sworn that the University (UCSD) was closed today for Cesar Chavez. Hummm...well I'm here anyway...
Kei & Yuri, Through the wonders of an excerpt from my book: You are there. (Though this is Treblinka - same thing I think.)
From Silent Screams of a Survivor
I could see them (the other children) in the distance when the door was opened, and they were doing dreadfully. It did not take a person experienced in the medical arts to tell, at a glance, that they were very sick. I recognized the signs of typhoid fever and other diseases. The very sick in our room and the adjoining rooms moaned and cried nearly constantly. No matter how ill they became, they were denied even the most primitive care and in a short time were dying. As I watched all that went on around me, I came to the conclusion that all of us will die: either from their medical “experiments” or from the abuse they regularly subjected us to.
These injections were daily occurrences. These shots made us so weak that I doubt I could have risen even if I had not been restrained. I could hear the other children crying, screaming, and moaning. I could not stop myself, though I tried not to; I cried with them.
Every day now, one of the prisoners hanged himself. I was weary of seeing people dying. No matter how much I saw of it, I never got used to it. Hunger forced the inmates to try to escape. When they did, the machine guns would erupt, and they would die. I was told the man who did the shooting was rewarded with a couple of days off. It was hell on earth.
I wasn’t feeling well; sometimes I couldn’t stop shaking. I guess this was from the injections, but there was so much disease in this place I could not be sure. My mental abilities were deteriorating as well. I was barely coherent at times. Other times, I think I was completely lost. I honestly cannot remember. Whole days I spent in this place have been wiped from my memory.
Physically I was ill, but the mental tiredness was something that I could not deal with. Between the crying and moaning, the injections and the sickness, I was getting to the point of complete mental exhaustion. Human suffering inside this barbed wire camp became an every day affair. My life at this time in this camp had no meaning to me. I was at the point of not caring if I lived or died. I felt as though my Lord had abandoned me, and I really needed his help.
All that I wanted was a small shade of hope. I was trying desperately to hold onto whatever small amount of faith in the future and the goodness of God I had left. But, it was extremely difficult. I can remember promising the Lord in prayer that if he would only lessen my pain, I would become a much better person. I was so desperate that I asked I asked God if pain was my only reason for being born. While I prayed, I was so focused in my prayer and requests to God that I did not realize that, in spite of the straps restraining me, I had loosed them and was on my knees praying as my mother had taught me. But this was an illusion as well. I remained tightly restrained and subject to the whims of my captors.
When I was in the midst of this, Helga (The nurse) would begin to visit me without the other guard or the doctors. She would approach the bed with her eyes smiling mischievously. At first she would do nothing but look at me. But, one day she removed the sheet covering my nakedness and began molesting me.
The situation was hopeless for me. Not only were the doctors doing their worst, this woman would come smiling and commit a form of rape on my restrained body. Apparently she liked this as she started coming to me two or three times a day. I screamed when she came, but she would place her hand over my mouth or place the pillow there to silence my screams all the while saying, “Shhhh.”
fluffy, protestants are all anti catholic to some degree. that's the whole point.
Olaf.... You know better.
Phila,
Nudibranches send me into a swoon and leave me in a vegetative state, causing me to babble for long stretches.

It is no longer Randall Terry. He is now Ralph Cadaverous Chocolate.
"Christianity is the invention of Satan, calculated to make human beings unhappy."
spinoza
I think that'd be "Christendom"...that'd be his usual dichotomy between organized religion vs private, individual spiritual growth as a Christian.
I was right, at least about UCSD.
Scroll down.
N. Todd- I've obviously gone to the other side cos that was freaky, unlike the nice picture that GWPDA posted of her dog. BTW is he like a Bull Mastive mixed with something?

I'll keep that in mind if we're out on a date!
Cairo is such a beauty. What's her take on the cats?
She and Saffron get along fine, having lived together for so long. Cairo is...skeptical of Sam, but she no longer leaves the room when he enters. She just remembers the days when the boy would smack her on the nose.
And who might that darling little lad on the left side be?
Somebody who somehow has aged 33 years...
Footloose - thanks for the tip. I don't think anybody ever thought of that before.
Bliekker--might be the case in the UC system--the Cal State system is next week.
Queens, New York is Bobo's world?
Seebach
Exactly, I just tend to feel better fighting something rational versus the completely insane. It bothers me, as I mention the number of people seemingly afflicted is overwhelming.
EkCenTriK
In addition to the already insane. 9/11 pushed a lot of borderline people over the edge. The spectacular nature of 9/11 scared the shit out of a generation raised on TV and movies. Basically, I think that there are a lot of people out there that need to listen to Howard Beale. (Ironic no? considering he's a fictional character.) They can't tell the difference between what is and isn't real. They are captured by what they see on cable news. Speaking of which, I think this might be a good weekend not to watch TV.
Eben Cooke
The Love Center? And he worked at a Fox channel, too?
LOL
is he like a Bull Mastive mixed with something?
She's a mutt: bansenji/shep mix.

Scroll to second entry for the links. Includes sworn affidavit by current US military worker.
Phila-Well, you got me. I think John Updike wrote the article, so maybe you should send a letter to the New Yorker. Still, I like the quotation as is.
NTodd--really pretty pic of Sam, BTW (okay, all pics of Sam are really pretty). Now what about a Friday pic of Saffron?
"What I heard last night was pretty scary. This whole Schiavo thing may have backfired not only with the general public, but with the religious zealots that it was meant to pander to. They are all raging mad at George and Jeb because they are not swooping in with the National Guard, a la Elian Gonzalas, and whisking the tragic Terri Schiavo living corpse into protective custody. I mean they are really PISSED OFF and claiming that both Bushes played a cruel hoax on them by claiming to be saving Terri's life when they were really just allowing another court to decide she had the 'right to die.' THEY ARE VOWING REVENGE."
Queens, New York is Bobo's world?
Yea, fair enough. But I'm on a christian-molesting roll right now, and it fit in.
K&Y
Scrawling a swastika on some posterboard wasn't good enough for him: his message required the most ornate Nazi colors he could get. And on such short notice.
Holden posted earlier that the guy clearly had it in his garage, ready at a second's notice.
n. Todd - oh I had to go further down the page.. I thought, well never mind what I thought at this point. Yeah, your dog is cute too.
I've missed it all!
Oh well, I got a new name out of it.
- Geraldine Panting Conifer.
Parts of Queens are indeed Bobo's world. Thers was raised there, and he thought All in the Family was a documentary.
Bliekker--might be the case in the UC system--the Cal State system is next week.
The undergrads have been out all week for spring break anyway, so it hasn't done them any good. The state system must be getting spring break next week then?

So, what, she murmurs in German?
But I'm on a christian-molesting roll right now, and it fit in.
Eben Cooke
I don't have a problem with that. Carry on.
There are many who seek truth through the intellect. They revel in thousands of concordances, seek similarities in all the world's religions, conduct learned discourses for enthralled audiences. But they would reach the truth faster if they tied their thoughts to experience.
what about a Friday pic of Saffron?
Eh. She's just sleeping with the phonebooks, as usual. Not much to see!
Phila-Well, you got me. I think John Updike wrote the article, so maybe you should send a letter to the New Yorker. Still, I like the quotation as is.
spinoza
Nah, no big deal to me either way. It's just odd...a couple of months ago, some right-wing website was bitching about Kierkegaard as the very embodiment of arrogant atheism. That seemed to me like a pretty raw deal for a guy who devoted most of his life to writing about what he saw as the primary Christian ideals and duties. Just another trip through the looking-glass, I guess...
NYMarisquito,
I figure Ol' Terri is ready for college. She will always answer AHHHH WAHHHH and it can mean whateverthell her handlers want it to mean. That means if she gets some non-idiots to cart her around: a 4.0 is just around the corner.
Bliekker--nope, all out this week. We just get an extra day off in the Cal State system.
She's a mutt: bansenji/shep mix.
So, what, she murmurs in German?
She yodels. Seriously.
Plus she does have the German shep "bossy bark". Minnesota accent, tempered by a Vermont twang after being here for 8 years.
seebach--thanks. btw, the dailykos post has a link to the original fox news story. it's worth a read. many other families are suffering because of all the protesters at the hospice. I cannot believe the police are sitting by and letting this happen.
wait. yes I can.
no no N.Todd- I meant GWPDA's dog. But if I had to guess for yours I would have thought Shepard cos of the ears but the Basenji would have taken more than I can muster up right now. Dogs are great though, I have had dogs since I was 9. Can't even imagine life without a loyal dog.
AAARRRGH!
"You have a collusion of events that I think only the spiritually blind would ignore," Arroyo said. "It's not hard to see the similarities between the pope and what Terri Schiavo is going through, to some extent, and the sufferings of Christ that we commemorate Good Friday."
NTodd,
"Sleeping with the phonebooks"? Is that a euphemism?
"Eh. She's just sleeping with the phonebooks, as usual. Not much to see!"
"These aren't the droids you're looking for...move along."
some right-wing website was bitching about Kierkegaard as the very embodiment of arrogant atheism.
Somebody must be mixing up Kierkegaard and Dick van Patten again...
Minnesota accent, tempered by a Vermont twang after being here for 8 years.
Woo-ef, dontcha know.... ?
I guess the cats get the old 25" t.v. to watch. Mr. and Mrs. Atrios must get the 42" plasma to watch shows in high def.
hi everyone!
Phila--i love the nudibranch...looks scrumptious...
NTodd, did you get your new name yet?
Dick Van Patten? Was that the guy from '8 is Enough'?
The dude who played the little kid gets arrested a lot for possession.
She yodels. Seriously.
Plus she does have the German shep "bossy bark". Minnesota accent, tempered by a Vermont twang after being here for 8 years.
Oooh, you mean the sound that says "Put on your boots we're going out NOW?' The yodelling sounds like basenji tho.
Poor Arthur is always misunderstood - he only has two voices - a horrible strangled frenzied bellow, and a back of the throat whimpering sound that makes him seem very sad. Neither one much impresses our neighbor the pitbull, or the other neighbors, the retrievers. The Shar-pei sound just isn't very scary.
hey, her eyes.
Pot Head--is the 42" on his Amazon wish list?
Phila--are you a regular at Pharyngula?
no no N.Todd- I meant GWPDA's dog
Oh, sorry. It's the only child in me to think it's all about, well...me. Or my dog.
"Sleeping with the phonebooks"? Is that a euphemism?
No, she literally sleeps with the phonebooks under one of our end tables.
"These aren't the droids you're looking for...move along."
Heehee!
watertiger,
He forgot to invoke Prince Rainier for the coveted triple play!
NTodd--what are you renowned for today?
"Pot Head--is the 42" on his Amazon wish list?"
Sallyh
If it isn't it should be.
Sleeps with Phonebooks makes a good Indian name.
cute butt
watertiger,
I've been predicting that same sentiment all day. That meme will go over about as well as the Congress gone mad shit.
We just get an extra day off in the Cal State system.
Humm, well...yea for methyl-bromide or the lack there of, as the case may be...
Purim blogwhore.
just sayin. nice snaps of kitties, NTodd!
Geraldine Panting Conifer -
Happy belated birthday!
NTodd, did you get your new name yet?
Yeah, and I entered it into Rorschach's database. But I feel like I'm finally settling into my new name, and don't feel like changing.
Oooh, you mean the sound that says "Put on your boots we're going out NOW?'
Actually, that one is a fairly bossy bark, too. But usually she goes and gets my shoes and drops them at my feet as a hint. She taught herself that trick. Totally no joke.
The yodelling sounds like basenji tho.
Yes, she's got a lot of the basenji traits. Used to climb trees when she was a puppy, too.
The Shar-pei sound just isn't very scary.
Weren't Shar-peis s'posed to be guard dogs?
We had a Lhasa when I was a kid. That little hellhound could bark!
Yes big trifecta on the horizon:
Father,Son and Holy Ghost.
But NTodd will always be: Mooned by Bats.
JimmyJeff van Patten was on "8+ Cut Is Enough."
Thanks Charlotte! I am totally jealous of your indian name. So sexy and...mysterious!
Pot Head; We don't have a wide screen plasma TV (yet), but the husband keeps threatening. I think it's a silly purchase because there's never anything good on TV. He responds with, "Yeah, but it looks so much better in plasma!"
I must be missing something here.
NTodd--what are you renowned for today?
Oh, it would take all day to list all the things for which I am renowned. But I have finally found my true self...
That Indian Name Generator is kick-ass.
No phony name generator would have been able to come up with "Denthwerp Saintly Copperhead".
I knew it was the Real Me as soon as I read it.

LOL!
Sallyh--ya know what is wierd? i clicked your homepage the other day and then had a dream about you-all that night. strange that.

Sallyh
You're a chick, so you wouldn't understand. But, to be honest I would recommend an LCD t.v. over the plasma. The picture is actually much better on the LCD's. Mine is LCD, but it's only 36". I'm kind of embarassed to admit that it's that small, but everybody keeps telling me that size doesn't really matter.
Anything memorable so far?
Schiavo's still dead, and the wackos still are hoping for an Easter miracle. God's mum on the issue.
Late to the party.
Anything memorable so far?
Yep. Everyone was making fun of you behind your back.
Stumbling in after a long absence from the thread and jumping right in.
[Prideful boasting]
A little while ago I saw some teenagers playing some strange version of hackeysack. I asked if they would not mind if an old man joined in and they assented. The rules they descibed seemed similar to a variation I had recently heard about called "killer" (IIRC).
Long story short, in the end there was only one - ME - trying really hard not to gloat or mention the fact that I was legally purchasing spirits before they were born.
Now I hope that the right knee and elbow areent too sore in the next couple of days.
guile, and the fact that kids don't play baseball that much anymore (and therefor do not throw very accurately) are responsible for the conquest.
wooohooo. [/Pridefull boasting]
Back to your regularly scheduled commentary.
Pot Head - Is your widescreen? Which is cheaper, LCD or plasma?
Her eyes--I'm so totally sorry about that!
Pot Head--is that 36" cut or uncut?
A person who fails to show any cognitive function is:
-in a persistant vegetative state
-a wingnut
-needing meat in his or her diet
-dead
-all of the above
I gotta say it:
GO STATE!! Michigan State that is.

Is it true that if you type James Guckert into the Indian name generator it comes out Jeff Mandate Gannon?
But I still love you - and no one's making fun of you, for chrissakes. Toby you're an ass.

your family lived in a beautiful house by a river and i was visiting you, and i told you i was from the blog, and i kept trying to tell you i was "her eyes" but you wouldn't let me tell you who i was.
...it's worth a read. many other families are suffering because of all the protesters at the hospice.
they must lie and hate and cause a myriad of human miseries- they represent all that is good and moral in the world.
Okay, I admit that was just lame, and that I got nothin.

We should assemble a team and get our own Saturday morning cartoon! I've always felt it's my destiny to battle the forces of cartoon evil.
No wait, we'd need to be a line of toys first...
Her Eyes,
You want to know something kind of strange? I can project myself into dreaming. I actually write while I am dreaming. The text becomes so alive for me, that the characters come to life and I watch and record: only I feel everything. Very strange (Probably ready for the funnyfarm)
Oh, but wait! If you use Steven Simels instead of "steve" you get...

no, i don't think it was, but it was beautiful, just the same.

I must foodshop. I don't want to foodshop. I want to hang out here at the Eschaton bar and be a slug.
Everyone else in the house feels otherwise, however.

Yeah, they were sneering at him: "Poor Soren...unable to imagine a being greater than himself!"
I think it was WorldNetDaily. Good to know they're as inaccurate about trivia as they are about life-and-death matters, huh?
Well Randall Terry popped up Cadaverous Little Prick -- or near enough.
Sweet baby Jeepers.
Gotta run, but CNN just announced that the FBI arrested someone who was offered 250,000 to kill Mike Shiavo and judge Greer. I had a bad feeling about these razies.
Evening everyone....did they storm the hospice yet?
"Crossroads noted that nearly 2000 years ago this week, Pontius Pilate "stood by and did nothing in the face of determined evil as it took the life" of one innocent man."
Pilate simply lacked the moral courage that is occasionally demanded of one who governs, Crossroads said.
The group said Pilate was not filled with hate -- but in the end, he "chose not to risk his office to save the 'insignificant' [Christ]."
Crossroads said Bush must ask himself, "Is one helpless woman's life worth my political career?'" "
I prefer my puppies with lots of grease.
razies=crazies.
don't make me go back to Free Republic for more research.
If it helps friend, I think you have done a yeomans job today, take a well deserved rest, those forays can be soul killing. Believe me.

Wal-Mart Director Resigns After Probe
By CARYN ROUSSEAU, Associated Press Writer
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - A high-profile Wal-Mart Stores Inc. board member resigned Friday after an internal probe turned up evidence of financial improprieties of up to half-a-million dollars. Three Wal-Mart employees, including a company officer, also lost their jobs.
The world's largest retailer said it asked Thomas M. Coughlin, who is also a former president and CEO of the company's stores division, to step down because of "a disagreement" over the results of the probe, which involves between $100,000 and $500,000, and his "response to questions concerning his knowledge of certain transactions," according to a regulatory filing.
Maybe there is a Jesus....
steve struck me as pretty greaseless, actually.
but then I'm Emmaline Purgative Ostrich.
for ba'al's sake, someone please tell me what the tarnation is going on in this thread.
evening, freethinkers.
I know this is weird and out of place, but I once dreamed I saw Kate Storm of ASZ on the beach. We had a very nice conversation.
I was before I discovered her website. I had read her comments on Billmon for quite a while though.
Funny thing is, she later posted a photo of herself on her blog. My dream image of her was close but I'm not sure if I would have recognized her on the street.
It was a nice dream none-the-less.
i like mine.

bigvic ,/i>
that is some bad shit. & it is going to get worse.
Seebach, that was sort of the point, though, which the Xtians conveniently forget.
If you believe the story, Christ was born to that purpose. Ergo, Pilate was a bit player in the whole affair.
It's not like god would suddenly say, "Whoops, I didn't mean MY son. Let's take Herschel over there, instead."
Steve -
What's the proper spelling of your first name, because "Wilton Zealous Clavicle" is absolutely divine.
i wish my authentic indian name was denthwerp saintly copperhead. i got jan flapping hamstring.
steve, well, obviously it will have to be a virtual drink unless you show up...

Steve,
Without prompting of the argument: what song do you consider to be Dylan's masterpiece? (No, not WHEN I PAINT MY MASTERPIECE either.)
We had a small discussion, I want a professional's opinion.

I will think of you as I am gnawing on a beef rib, and watching the turtles swim by in the river.
Michael Seebach, mad prophet of doom's Indian name was Noah Butternut Wolverine. Mad prophets of doom get no respect.

I think the answer is blowing in the wind...
Smart kitties! Like they could be any other way...
Fiona Ultraviolet Beltline is not my Indian name. But Coralee Hidden Duck might be. Let you know later.
Olaf, I'm so sorry. Check with NTodd, Mooned by Bats. He's got extras.
The Shar-pei sound just isn't very scary.
Weren't Shar-peis s'posed to be guard dogs?
Nah, they're farm dogs, at most -watch- dogs. That means if Arthur sees or smells or hears something he doesn't like, he comes and tells me about it. It's my job to do whatever is necessary after that. Finely divided roles here. And Footloose, GWPDA's dog is Arthur, the Bonemouth Shar-pei. Built like a smallish tank, black toenails and eyeliner, black tongue, envelope ears, coat no longer than 1/2", no jump to save his soul. Never gives in. 80lbs of muscle and can't carry a tune.

A lot of the time you use the licensing of the toy line to fund the creation of the series, so you don't need to be a toy first -- it can all happen at the same time.
I want to story edit the series. That's where the money is for a writer. You can't really make a living writing individual episodes.

via kos, scientific snark:
Scientific American wrote a beautiful editorial on this topic in their April 2005 edition. It's not available for free online, but I thought you would enjoy a few snippets.
Okay, We Give Up
. . . In retrospect, this magazine's coverage of so-called evolution has been hideously one-sided. For decades, we published articles in every issue that endorsed the ideas of Charles Darwin and his cronies. True, the theory of common descent through natural selection has been called the unifying concept for all of biology and one of the greatest scientific ideas of all time, but that was no excuse to be fanatics about it.
Why were we so unwilling to suggest that dinosaurs lived 6,000 years ago or that a cataclysmic flood carved the Grand Canyon? Blame the scientists. They dazzled us with their fancy fossils, their radiocarbon dating and their tens of thousands of peer-reviewed journal articles. As editors, we had no business being persuaded by mountains of evidence.
Good journalism values balance above all else. We owe it to our readers to present everybody's ideas equally and not to ignore or discredit theories simply because they lack scientifically credible arguments or facts. Nor should we succumb to the easy mistake of thinking that scientists understand their fields better than, say, U.S. senators or best-selling novelists do. Indeed, if politicians or special-interest groups say things that seem untrue or misleading, our duty as journalists is to quote them without comment or contradiction. To do otherwise would be elitist and therefore wrong.

These cops are enabling the death of a completely innocent, totally helpless woman, Terri Schiavo, who is being systematically starved to death. They deserve to be shot in the head and killed!

Most pros agree that Jack Kirby is indeed "the heavy lifter". In my more audacious moods I say that Kirby is one of the major great artists of the 20th Century, period.
But I don't want to slight Stan. Without him, Jack might never have gotten the chance to explode into American culture as he did. Jack's heinous treatment at DC in the New Gods era is good evidence. And anybody who could work with artists as wildly different (and difficult) as Kirby and Ditko deserves recognition.
Plus the man wrote 12 books a month in addition to being editor in chief of Marvel for decades.

Ripley, I decided to sully your blog instead
"your porn name is the combination of your first pet's name and the street on which your first house was located."
I'm assuming this first pet is the first pet of your gender, else it's either ginger bauerdale or geezer bauerdale for me.
(my first pet was a turtle, but I only called him 'turtle', and so turtle bauerdale don't count)
chicago dyke - Oh thank you for that Scientific American quote. That was possibly the highest quality snark I've seen yet. I enjoyed the hell out of that.
Rorschach...if the name fits...
Anytime, Sally.
I just thought it was funny that someone would gripe because Atrios posts open threads. The poor man can't have a life away from the blog?
The quote is paraphrased Steve Martin...
If i am to be "Princess Silver", i am going to need some Bobbitization....
I need to drink more. My Indian name is Delilah Aerosol Chicken.

In my more audacious moods I say that Kirby is one of the major great artists of the 20th Century, period.
I never had much of an appreciation of Kirby's art as a youth, it just didn't appeal to my eye.
But then I bought and read Amazing Heroes #100 back in the mid-80's, a big Kirby Appreciation issue.
There was one article in particular that struck me. It dissected some pages of Kirby art and showed all the formal tricks he used to lead the reader's eye around the page. It was a revelation, and I started to look at everything he drew differently, once armed with this knowledge.
Considering how prolific he was, it's hard to imagine that this was always the result of conscious effort, it almost seems like he was some innate comic storytelling genius.
Looking for a modern analog, I see Steve Rude in particular uses a lot of these Kirby devices in his artwork, but his are learned from Kirby rather than self-invented.
(Which isn't a slight against Rude, he's one of my favourite artists.)
Ripley--the poor man better have a life from the blog, or he's likely to go as insane as Billmon did for a time.
Delilah Aerosol Chicken.

That's just tooo good. Don't change a thing.
Is NTodd Tsu-la around?
I just wanted to tell him I forgot to pick him up the Chips Ahoy. He'll have to settle for homemade this weekend.
My porn name would be Blackie North.
I kinda like that.
11th U.S. Cicuit court rejects another appeal. I've lost track of which courts they are appealing to (and who knows maybe the courts have too and just issue appeal denials every 12 hours or so just in case).
That name link is a hoot.
Edwin Glorified Duck? WTF is that?
Uh, what kind of dimwit brings their kids to sit shiva at the hospice and then lets those kids get arrested? Isn't this child abuse?

Its off to the food court now, where the esteemed and honorable Ronald MacDonald and Colonel Sanders will pass a fast and tasty judgement.
Any self-respecting (not to mention child-respecting) parent, I believe, would have tried to talk the police out of arresting their child.
Then again, I'm not a parent, so what the hell do I know?

Evening wonderful moonbats!

HAL TURNER SHOW
News & Commentary The Main Stream Won't Touch
There might be a good reason for that...
And, Hal? I think Real Soon Now, you're gonna have a nice visit from a couple zoot-suited employees of the Federal Government. "Free Speech!" you cry? "Fire in a crowded theater!" I riposte. Also about as close to solicitation for murder as yoy can get without being this asshole. [via World O' Crap]
And, Hal? Club Fed's not as cushy as it used to be. Lotsa smelly 300 lb bikers doing Fed time for drugs, ya know? War on Drugs and all that. Had to put 'em somewhere, hmmm?
Wasn't "Midnite Pine" a Melissa Manchester song?
Where is steve simels when we need him?
"Bellowing Rap Machine."
OK, I'm not playing anymore...
Gorgolla
History: Gorgolla and his invasion force of gargoyles left their home planet on a mission to conquer and enslave Earth. Upon reaching Earth, the army dispersed to every country of the world and stationed themselves atop buildings to spy on mankind. Gorgolla awaited in the Himalayan mountains to send the signal to strike. David Hartnell, an American explorer, found Gorgolla and was captured by him. Gorgolla told Hartnell of his plans to conquer earth and sent out the signal for his gargoyles to attack. A swarm of thousands of the winged creatures attacked and killed Gorgolla. The gargoyles told Hartnell that they watched humanity and learned of love and charity, and wished to remain as guardians of the human race.
In modern times, other gargoyles under the command of Granitor attacked the Earth. Their threat was ended by IT The Living Colossus and Fin Fang Foom.
And my porn name would be Venus. No street because I lived in the middle of nowhere then.
Mrs. Ibrahim--catching that Sha'ria spirit, eh?
The Vons was shockingly empty. The cashiers claimed it was because the .97/lb hams that were supposed to be on special were not delivered and everyone was pissed.
We are having 40-garlic clove chicken.
Just in case we're not apprehensive enough, I just went to Hal Turner's site and found this:

I am traveling to do something important.
Holy Shit.
Ripley -- I think the M Manchester song was "Midnight at the Oasis."
Ripley--apparently more than your average fundie lunatic parent.
(and who knows maybe the courts have too and just issue appeal denials every 12 hours or so just in case)
Laugh out loud!
I was really bummed for a minute when I realized, a day or two ago, that the fucking media is going to cover Terri Schiavo's final days right down to the last hours, and last minutes and last seconds, and last, dying breath. I know she's beyond all that now, but I felt so sad for her and for us all, especially the press. Our country, you know, has been taken over by a small group of right-wing zealots.
So I wanted to throw something
And I picked up a baseball.
-
"Midnight at the Oasis" was Maria Muldaur.
I'm out of church for the day -- what is happening?
Move up one...
Latest from the CNN online poll:
Do you believe Terri Schiavo is suffering?
Yes 34% 27909 votes
No 66% 53448 votes
Total: 81357 votes
I'm not sure how they qualify "suffering" but if it were me, 15 years in that condition would be suffering.
Jesus didn't hang on the cross this long. Even the damned Roman guard had a conscience.
Fresh sheets.
Echidne - I think you win the porn star name award - it doesn't get any better than Venus.
Fresh linen upstairs.
Looks like W got tired of inspiring terrorism overseas and decided to go local.
I also noticed that as soon as Abrams started off the reservation on Shiavo they stopped repeating his show at midnight and replaced it with Scarborogh.
Assholes.
Jesus didn't hang on the cross this long. Even the damned Roman guard had a conscience.

Which report went right into your own file, Elaine.

Don't worry mena, everybody in Left Blogistan has a file by now.
Me. You. Everybody.
Make 'em crazy. Remember, we're part of "whole syndicate" of "do-gooder" forces are arrayed against him (DeLay) in "a huge nationwide concerted effort to destroy everything we believe in." '
That about sums it up. If DeLay believes in it, I'm pretty much against it.
And I almost forgot, it's Friday...
Booger. He's friendlier than he looks. Well, OK, not a lot. He has the softest fur, though...
mena
Thanks. I apparently confused my MMs.
Kirby is indeed The King.
But Alex Toth is sublime...

doozer, Booger is my kind of cat!
Why do I miss all the fun?
Enjoyed the kitties and other animal or not forms.
Here is my late kitty blog entry Sabine.

Hay, I can change it. You wanna me change it? I could be, like, Slithering Latte Footstool, or something...
On, Wisconsin!
Go Badgers!
Go Big Ten!
Thonar; Friendlier than she looks, though, right?
Izzat one of those huge 5-pound fluffball type cats?

Midnight Blue - Melissa Manchester

Doozer:
You got it!
She always looks angry but she is very friendly.
She weighs 71/2 pounds.
Echidne; I love my Booger, but he will drive you up a wall. "Fearfull" is what the Vet's nickname for him, and it's true. Considers himself to be under attack at all times, which just invites the attack, usually from Whitley, AKA Shitstarter...
Midnight Rambler - Rolling Stones
Midnite Cruiser - Steely Dan

Alex Toth is sublime.
I even forgive him for Scooby-Doo.

That cat has my television! That bastard!
You got your couch at IKEA, Atrios. I know because I have the same one. It's a money couch, huh?
Wiley is a sophisticated cat with good taste. One of my kitties, Binx, likes to sit on top of the TV, reach down with her paws and play with the people on-screen. She's done that a few times while Bush was giving a speech, without any coaching from me!
My cat likes to watch auto-racing and he always runs around to the side of the set to see if the cars are coming out over there. He's checked about 15,000 times, I guess he just wants to be sure.
your cat looks like mine - the one watching the daily show.
Damn, that's an ugly couch... Just kidding, man.
Holy! I've got the same exact couch! The same slipcovers and everthing. IKEA, right?
My cat likes it, too.
Kitties, red couches, and fleece blankies.
