I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
frist?
OK, now I should go read the story.
Sancitfy? Is that a typo or am I missing the joke?
Wow. Someone want to join the cast of "I want to be a Hilton."
Seriously, the congresscritter is a disgusting bastard.
The FDA is implementing new rules that prohibit gay men from donating sperm.
On the sanctity front...
I didn't watch Pres. W's last snooze conference, but didn'the say something like "atheists can't be citizens or patriots?" Or was this a massive misquote? Because according to Geo. Will, he really said something
very different.:
HOO-HA!
Damn glad someone does.
She's so not 29.
"don't go back to rockville..."
-J.T.
There are plenty of young constituents like that cruising the halls of Congress looking for backrubs (or whatever).
29 my heinney! that is one used up, burnt out woman.
John's right, she looks exactly like a Hilton.
Another case for the IOIYAR file. On the same note, did anyone else hear about the very anti-gay mayor of Spokane, WA? Apparently he has a penchant for little boys.
She's so not 29.
The years are harder on some than others.
That woman was 29 about twenty years ago.
I see all great minds think alike today.
29. yeah, my inner Edna Crabapple went off at that one.
They really mean skank-tity of marriage
What they meant was, 29 in Gallapagos tortoise years.
..
aw, and she's all wrapped up in a pretty pink ribbon...
for a price.
Yeah totally not 29. :p
We all know that in Bobo's World, the manly-men alpha males sometimes have to, well, "stray off the pasture" a bit.
Really, really, wish that the cracker belt/value voters would start being as judgemental on deeds of their politicans as they are on the image of the political parties they vote for.
That woman was 29 about twenty years ago.
drive-by
I think the article meant to say that her tits are 29.
have i mentioned today how much i love you guys?
i'm serious.
fucking funny people, you are.
It ain't the years, it's the mileage.
I think it is 29 in dog years.
29. yeah, my inner Edna Crabapple went off at that one.
Biggest laugh of the day for me so far.
Must ... grade ... papers.
I know this is cheap but... she's 29? Are we counting in base 4?
...but didn'the say something like "atheists can't be citizens or patriots?"
He said something along those lines in the past, but in the fake news conference he appeared to mumble the opposite. Its hard to tell really as translating from Fake Texan Brain Damaged Twit to English is hard, its hard work. Of course The President is always right and never changed his mind about anything, even, or rather especially, when he's wrong.
How about a new rule that whenever anyone says "sanctity of marriage" (heh--I said "tity") they have to provide a full FBI background check on the sanctity of their own marriage.
"Ore had initially told police last year that the congressman was choking her -"
and apparently, putting out his cigarettes on her arm...
Yikes.
/speechless
She's 29 like Patsy from AbFab is 29.
aw, and she's all wrapped up in a pretty pink ribbon...
for a price.
Thought that was a nice touch, too.
Then decided it was obviously a replacement for the "come hither" look she'd been unable to summon to her features for years....
29. yeah, my inner Edna Crabapple went off at that one.
Yes, I can hear Marcia Wallace's voice exclaiming "Ha!" right now.
Um, not to be coarse or anything, but I don't think she's wearing any panties.
Well, congressing is hard work. Gotta do something to relieve the tension. If only his wife understood him, this wouldn't have happened. He's really a victim, you see.
The knowledge that gay men and women would one day stand on the steps of San Francisco city hall as married couples obviously caused Sherwood to stray with this hot young thing back in 1999.
Drat that gay agenda.
The answer to the age question I think is that she's in her 29th year as a blonde.
I always find the prominently displayed crucifixes dangling around the necks of these types particularly amusing.
Then decided it was obviously a replacement for the "come hither" look she'd been unable to summon to her features for years....
Rmj, Wandering Aengus
"Come hither" has morphed into "Get over here and rub salve on my goiter".
Having review some of the earlier thread, I feel safe in observing that this poor young lady is a Bobby Goldsboro song waiting to be written. I'm also reminded that when somebody asks why I hate America, I can simply refer them to "Sister Golden Hair."
Why do repug women all look like burned-out angry barbie dolls?
"don't go back to rockville..."
as someone who once lived there - couldn't agree more.
I think maybe the bleach job is about 29 - but that's it.
Um, not to be coarse or anything, but I don't think she's wearing any panties.
Claaaaaaaassssssssssssy!!!
I think she may have been a refugee from the Parker Valley PTA 29 years ago...
She's 29... on each leg!
When I was in college I met a girl (College Republican) that looked as cheap and skanky as that woman. She was all preachy, Xtian, and never missed a chance to express her dislike of the Clintons. She had the same cheap-ass bottle blonde Texas motel waitress hair as Ore.
Yet that moralist young Republican was also known for sleeping with anything that moved and engage in activities she herself would quickly rant against.
She was the living example of what today's Republicans stand for.
Young republican babe?
Bet she gave him cooties.
Oops...that's HARPER VALLEY PTA. My bad. Too much sugar at lunch.
watertiger,
We love you, too.
I can't even comment on this topic.
The hypocrisy is so...tired, to me.
Ken Shabby...my theory is that living as a total hypocrite 24/7 prematurely ages them, which in turn, makes them extremely bitter.
She's so not 29.
lunascorp
It ain't the years, it's the mileage.
Fed up
Is it the mileage, or the twisted, Western-themed appetites of the Congressman she had to satisfy?
I think it is 29 in dog years.
spinoza>
OK, I can't top that one.
This is a tough crowd.
And I quoth:
I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere
Imagination, life is your creation
(snip)
I'm a blonde single girl in the fantasy world
Dress me up, take your time, I'm your dollie
You're my doll, rock and roll, feel the glamour and pain
Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky-panky
You can touch, you can play
You can say I'm always yours, oooh whoa
(et cetera, et cetera, et cetera)
Really, really, wish that the cracker belt/value voters would start being as judgemental on deeds of their politicans as they are on the image of the political parties they vote for.
I really wish the cracker belt values voters would pay as much attention to the marriages of the people they vote for as they do to the marriages of gay people they've never met.
Sanctity is a funny word. They may have been engaging in an ancient Canaanite fertility ritual.
Atrios, I am sure you would not want the crops to fail in Pennsylvania.
"She's so not 29."
Sayeth Indiana Jones: "It's not the years, it's the mileage."
Maybe celibacy isn't so bad, after all.
Is that what having sex with a Republican does to you? We have to stomp that out right away before it happens to someone else.
REPUBLICANS ARE FROM HERE ON FORBIDDEN TO HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH HUMAN BEINGS OR OTHER ANIMALS WITH A NOTOCORD AT SOME POINT IN ITS DEVELOPMENT.
JC, you're starting to sound like me and my weird attraction to fundettes and Lyndie England.
When I was in college I met a girl (College Republican) that looked as cheap and skanky as that woman.
Nothing sadder than a kid who goes to college and embraces his/her inner asshole when s/he should be out opening that mind, trying new things, and learning just how long you can go without sleep the night before an exam.
Serious. You could be a prude when you get out of college. When in, live the life. Hippie-chick college girls are the best.
Now I understand why he wants to post the Ten Commandments everywhere. He apparently needs reminder notes.
It means that nobody is allowed to screw outside of marriage but the big repuglican boys.
"Why do repug women all look like burned-out angry barbie dolls?"
Because, unlike their liberal sisters, they don't do what they want, they don't believe in any sort of construction related to reality, they don't think, and most of all, they don't smile real smiles.
She looks like a more dessicated versio of Morgan Fairchild (who is herself damn near freeze dried).
I now have a mash up of Harper Valley PTA and Barbie Girl running through my brain.
It's weird.
A Republican I knew in college once asked me to have sex with him (but first he declared his love for him). I had enough sense to turn him down. The guy works for Karl Rove now.
timesleader.com:
Come what may, Matisko [some local repug party hack] stands by Sherwood.
“The congressman is a family man,” she said. “When I think about family values, I think about the Don Sherwoods and Rick Santorums of the world. I have complete faith in Congressman Sherwood.”
Can't make this shit up.
In a 2000 news release supporting the elimination of the "marriage penalty," Sherwood said: "In this day and age, we ought to be doing more to support marriage instead of penalizing married couples."
I don't see what's so hypocritical about it, they've just gone a little Old Testament is all. See, it's all right there in Genesis (thank you google).
A few choice bits:
Sarai is the first of a long line of barren women who were desperate for children. (In the Bible, it is the women who are barren, never the men.) She sends Abram into her handmaid, Hagar, so that she can "obtain children by her." Abram gladly complies.
and
Lot and his daughters camp out in a cave for a while. The daughters get their "just and righteous" father drunk, and have sexual intercourse with him, and each conceives and bears a son (wouldn't you know it!). Just another wholesome family values Bible story.
and
Jacob is tricked by Laban, the father of Rachel and Leah. Jacob asks for Rachel so that he can "go in unto her." But Laban gives him Leah instead, and Jacob "went in unto her [Leah]" by mistake. Jacob was fooled until morning -- apparently he didn't know who he was going in unto. Finally they worked things out and Jacob got to "go in unto" Rachel, too.
Good stuff.
"don't go back to rockville..."
-J.T.
According to Mike Mills, that song was indeed about Rockville, MD, a town I'm right now sitting a mile from. Seems there was a chick on the UGA campus who everybody ahd a crush on who was from Rockville, and everybody bemoaned the end of the spring semester when she would return home to Rockville. Anyway, the song is pretty funny if you know Rockville, the part about "You'll wind up in some factory that's full time filth but nowere left to go," because I can't think of a single factory in Rockville.
Also, Stipe had a bad sinus infection when they recorded the song, and if you listen closely, you can hear the phlegm.
Of course, if that chick is in Rockville, I'll stay in Silver Spring, thank you very much.
Yes, the years are harder on some than on others, but I have known 29 year-old wharf whores with major smack habits who looked better than that. If I were a man, and inclined to cheat on my wife, I'd at least make it worth it.
So when is he going to blame his problems on gay marriage?
I think she looks that way because her Republican boyfriend thinks it's hot.
I hope it isn't because she chooses to.
Why do repug women all look like burned-out angry barbie dolls?

It's only a matter of time before the GOP writes a mistress deduction into the tax code, probably in the same omnibus bill that "protects marriage" with some legal discrimination against gays.
A Republican I knew in college once asked me to have sex with him (but first he declared his love for him). I had enough sense to turn him down. The guy works for Karl Rove now.
Woops...I meant, he declared his love for me (not for himself, or Karl Rove!)
Um, not to be coarse or anything, but I don't think she's wearing any panties.
Adonais
Heavens! How coarse of you to mention it.
Anyway, when I went back and looked, it's clear she is merely wearing panties of a neutral color.
wt: aaaaaaaaaargh, I remember that one. Also saw the Cartoons in concert in a shopping mall's theme park, singing the song "Witch Doctor" to which the chorus was:
Uh ee oo ah ah
Ting tang walla walla bing bang
Uh ee oo ah ah
Ting tang walla walla bing bang...
there's a one for the bad songs collection, but believe me the costumes were worse (I think this was Scandinavia's attempt at Eurotrash...)

She weeps!
It's only a matter of time before the GOP writes a mistress deduction into the tax code, probably in the same omnibus bill that "protects marriage" with some legal discrimination against gays.
Guessing it would be called the "Handmaid" clause or the "Gilead Pro-Family Act."
“The congressman is a family man,” she said. “When I think about family values, I think about the Don Sherwoods and Rick Santorums of the world. I have complete faith in Congressman Sherwood.”
OMFG.
His name is an obvious punchline, to wit,
Q: Would that Congressman cheat on his wife with a skank who claims to be 29?
A: Sher-wood!
I'm trying to remember what I did in college. I'm not sure, but I think mood altering substances may have been involved.
Bwhahahah! That "sanctity of marriage" stuff is for the little people.
According to Mike Mills, that song was indeed about Rockville, MD
From the lyrics, I thought it was about Rockville, SC and their annual regatta where everyone gets shitfaced.
Personally, I don't know why Congressman Sherwood did not simply tell the truth and state they were sending in pictures to Hustler's Beaver Hunt?
Is that so wrong?
Because, unlike their liberal sisters, they don't do what they want, they don't believe in any sort of construction related to reality, they don't think, and most of all, they don't smile real smiles.

Well, and Ken is their model boyfriend.
Draw your own conclusions.
As Rep. Sherwood wiped the drool from his chin, he looked up at Ms. Ore, mumuring, "I does so love to sanctify you." He paused. "And thanks for doing the dye job on your twat also."
It's time the Democrats up in Erie reciprocate to Mr.Sherwood the "Clinton treatment" that the rethugs so lovingly rained down on their party during the 90's.
What the hell are the Democrats thinking? This is war...

Sorry - but all of this nonsense merely inclines me to a belief that there is a Republican mania for repetition in their habits of self-destruction. It's the same old tacky crap - people with power seldom have anything more than a guttersnipe's understanding of its use.

Okay, now here's an example of the madness that comes from these "family values" types:
A state lawmaker is getting little interest in a bill that would make it illegal to end a pregnancy based on the projected sexual orientation of a fetus.
The bill was introduced in the Maine House earlier this year by Rep. Brian Duprey. The Republican is a staunch opponent of abortion and gay rights. But, he has been unable to find cosponsors of the measure and the legislation is languishing in committee with little chance it will ever come to a vote.
Duprey says that even though he voted against the state's new civil rights protections for gays and lesbians he wants to ensure that if at some time in the future it is proven sexuality is genetically determined gay fetuses are protected.
Gotta make sure them gays is borned, so's we can oppress 'em!
I feel ya, bro. It's all rather a sepia-toned blur these days.

OT -- NSA insiders blowing whistle on Bolton/Hayden/Negroponte -- including:
"However, the reign of terror instituted by Hayden and his staff against NSA employees has resulted in a blowback effect. Although NSA employees are known for being the most indoctrinated in the intelligence community in that they have no historical legacy in revealing classified information to the public, their mistreatment has resulted in a number of embarrassing disclosures:
1. NSA has recorded tactical communications intelligence—overheard on a speaker system in the NSOC—that demonstrates that United Flight 93 was shot down by U.S. fighter planes over Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001, and the Bush administration concocted a phony "patriotic" cover story about the passengers and crew deliberately crashing the plane in to the ground.

Student suspended over call from mom in Iraq
Friday, May 6, 2005 Posted: 12:54 PM EDT (1654 GMT)
COLUMBUS, Georgia (AP) -- A high school student was suspended for 10 days for refusing to end a cell phone call with his mother, a soldier serving in Iraq, school officials said.
Cell phones are allowed on campus but may not be used during school hours. When a teacher told him to hang up, he refused. He said he told the teacher, "This is my mom in Iraq. I'm not about to hang up on my mom."
The story of drunk Noah and his daughters in the cave is my personal favorite.

No, he isn't. TDSWJS did a piece on him. He has no interest in protecting gays; he merely wants to outlaw abortion.
I'm well aware of the overall intent.
But the bill specifies protection of fetuses to be aborted for their supposed sexual orientation.
So, yes, he is.
To judge from the hands, arms, and neck, she probably is 29. But she seriously needs to ditch the 'ho makeup.
(Apologies to WH'ho if he's reading this.)
My only complaint is that this happened about fifteen months too soon.
And Attaturk.... you bad!
the Republican in college who told me he was in love with me (and wanted to have sex with me) would never try any mood-altering substances, and furthermore he thought of political arguments as foreplay.
Not to quibble, but yeast, like republicans, are fungi.
Ore claims that Sherwood told her that he would be getting a divorce from his wife of 33 years, the mother of his three daughters.
“I loved him." she said. "He always told me he loved me and I believed him.”
Obviously, the douchebag loved her for her mind.

And yes, the Women of Eschaton roll out of bed, with the flu, looking much more beautiful than "Rockville Republican Barbie (Pink Escalade not included)" looks on her best day. You all rock.
So Sherwood is in NorthEAST Pennsylvania, not Northwest if my eyes are working correctly today...
Tough area to live in, former coal belt. I guess there must be something in the water that creates the contradictory horndog/rethug conditions that fostered Sherwood.
Going through all these hilarious comments, I conclude we really need to have an Eschaton snark off event. Anyone agree, go to Eschaton & leave a message on the need to have a snark off event. I'm willing to set it up.
People like NTodd, watertiger, Attaturk, Merkan Patriot in one room spouting off would be fantastic.
John,
Initial reports of Flight 93 stated that the wreckage left a debris trail some 5-6 miles away. That stat somehow disappeared in all subsequent coverage.
That shit doesn't happen if the plane doesn't explode before it hits the ground.
rorschach...Gute Reise, and quaff to your heart's content.

Danke schoen! I shall indeed.
Looking forward to meeting my new wife's friends and relatives (the purpose of the trip)!
Dang, he's fast for a 1200lb bovine.
I resemble that remark!
(no, really, I do. Gotta get to the gym a little more often....)
To judge from the hands, arms, and neck, she probably is 29. But she seriously needs to ditch the 'ho makeup.
Okay, so "parts" of her are 29.
I think we can all agree on that.
ALSO PLEASE DONT FEEL BAD MISS ORE IF YOUR READING THIS BECUASE WE ALL KNOW MOST OF THE SMART ASSES HERE WOOD BE ONLY TO HAPPY TO FUCK YOU IN A NEWYORK SECOND IF ONLY YOUD ALLOW IT BUT WE BOTH KNOW YOUR STANDARDS ARE WAY TO HIGH ITS ONLY COMMIE HOORS LIKE THAT JANEANN GARBAGEPIANO WITH NO SELF REPSECT THAT ARE WILLING TOO FUCK LIBS
Im sorry if this has already been said but "rode hard put away wet" comes to mind.
Right, drunk Lot with the daughters. I'm a moron (or, perhaps, a moran) seeing I just posted the quotes.
Now I'm to ashamed to grade papers.
Best excuse yet.
Flory--I think Republicans are more like viral mutations myself
There is a certain similiarity in mental capacity. But how do you explain the variety? Viruses are exact copies.
And now I'm too ashamed.
I believe they'll be by to revoke my commenting license any moment now.
Ore claims that Sherwood told her that he would be getting a divorce from his wife of 33 years, the mother of his three daughters.
Sherwood's wife is probably frigid. Blame her for the marriage falling apart, blame him for the cheating.
I'm so confused!!! We need a separate people's court for the rethugs. Judge Judy should determine who's the wrongdoer here, and then smite them, according to the Bible.
lunascorp...I'm probably the only person in my generation who's never tried any mind altering substance. I always figured I was screwed up enough without it. But I am not, nor have I ever been a Republican.
"He always told me he loved me and I believed him.”
I'm not judging by appearances. She took an IQ test and she failed it, right there.

I am.
Anybody who thinks her hair looks good like that is an idiot from the get go.
Rorshach - have a good fahrt!
Flory--if you look closely, they ARE exact copies.
Oh. Well, duh!!
Maybe Sherwood was sincere about dumping his wife of 33 years. After all, Minority Whip Roy Blount of Missouri dumped his wife of more than thiry years to hook up with a tobaccy lobbyist.
There is a certain similiarity in mental capacity. But how do you explain the variety? Viruses are exact copies.

Maybe they are retroviral. Those are less substantial and mutate rapidly...
This gal is enough to make me rethink my lesbianism.

I love a good Fahrt joke.
Oh, come on, now. I would wage next week's coffee money that any heterosexual man here would accept sex from Ms. Ore, should it be offered up. Sorry--but experience has shown me that when in need, the male animal will turn to the most unlikely candidates....
Of course, I am assuming the following conditions would apply: a) said male would need to be somewhat inebriated; and b)Ms. Ore would have to be the only female available at the time.
Thirty...the word is thirty. It's Friday afternoon and this German-Irishman is thirsty.
I love a good Fahrt joke.
In any language, it's a way of life.
i think Rorschach's right about Republicans being retroviral. Clearly, like HIV, their mechanism is to silently do damage for many years, and then hit us with a raging, virulent, potentially deadly infection.
What do you suppose she was posing for in that picture?
Did she put on her pretty pink ribbon after the news broke and the reporters started swarming?
Anybody who thinks her hair looks good like that is an idiot from the get go.
Even she doesn't think that her hair looks good like that. She thinks that old farty congressmen think that her hair looks good like that.
sorry, i'm not in the know here, but is merkin a real troll or a troll parody?
i'm leaning towards "parody" but people (esp LGFers and the like) sometimes live up to your wildest expectations.
Shmee--does it matter?
Actually, republicans are humans (arguably) who are infected with a rogue prior that causes a spongiform encephalopathy similar but more specialized than "mad cow" disease. The external symptoms are endless recitation of talking points and related bullshit. The victim loses all capacity to experience reality except through the rubric of conservative "logic." The manner of transmission is not well understood, but it may have to do with lack of essential formative stimuli that leave the potential victim unable to metabolize common polysacharides.
Holden,
I've said it before and I'll say it again. That is one good looking older white man. Geez, he is aging well!
I would wage next week's coffee money that any heterosexual man here would accept sex from Ms. Ore, should it be offered up.
Well, not anymore, in either case.
And I think I can say that blizzed-out Barbie-types don't seem to be type for the guys here.
That's just me, however. I could be wrong.
mothra...well, as a male who has not...how can I put this delicately...boinked in recent memory, I don't find her at all appealing. Still, if she were right here with me...no, if I drank that much beer I would pass out.
Holden--apparently while Bushie was hiding and being escorted about under security, Big Dog was living it up in Rome, pressing the flesh and having a blast. And the Italians loved it.
I love a good Fahrt joke.

That's "prion." Ruined the whole damn thing. Fark.
She needs blue jeans, a comfortable top and a ponytail.
Geez, he is aging well!

B1--interesting theory. I was leaning towards a pandemic of tertiary syphillis among Republicans, but yours has great merit.
"I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman..."

Oh, let's not rule out some form of trepanematosis just yet!
Has this been posted? Just saw it at Slashdot:
Bowing to intense pressure both from outside as well as its employees, Microsoft has reversed its stand on the anti-discrimination bill. In a company wide email, Steve Ballmer says that though the Washington legislative session is over for the year, they'll support any such legislation in the future. However, he adds that they'll be supporting it in the US only as they don't want to involve the company in debates in countries with different cultures and value systems. He also says that he doesn't think Microsoft should be involved in most public policy issues.
B1--i knew you meant 'prion.'
fuck haloscan.
What I went on to say was: "Like gin-and-tonic" /HG2G...
And, to Sallyh:
It is a remarkable resemblance when you think about it. As brilliant artist and writer David Wojnarowicz (check out Close to the Knives if you have not yet): When I learned I had HIV, I realized I had contracted not just a disease, but a diseased society.
Bill Clinton is handsome. Mmmm mmmm mmmm!
Thanks, Holden.
I gave my mom his book and she read it cover to cover in three days! She couldn't put it down. Had no idea that the Republican spin machine was so vicious ~ my mom, she is waking up, and I am proud of her.
But dammit! I do long for the days when he was at the helm of the country.
Sigh.
sorry, i'm not in the know here, but is merkin a real troll or a troll parody?
Troll parody.
There used to be a character named "random MBF" that had a similar M.O.
I think they're both hilarious, especially MP's ALL CAPS BAD PUNCUATION MISPELINGS style.
Big Dog!
(nostalgic sigh...)
John's right, she looks exactly like a Hilton. - shayera

See, Sally says tertiary syphillis, up pops Scalia! You wanna tell me again how everything is just random coincidence?

He's a moran.

The Onion put out a pretty good classified for that.
But dammit! I do long for the days when he was at the helm of the country.
Sigh.

Can we get Hillary to choose Bill as her running mate in 2008?
There is no constitutional prohibition against a former two-term president running for Veep.
They'd wipe the Frist/Jebbie ticket completely out of the picture.
Rory--I can only wish you the very best; I do hope you will maintain excellent health for many years to come. What really horrifies me is how far ahead we could have been on this had Reagan not been in power.
Next up for the 'conscience clause:" refusal to sell antivirals and protease inhibitors because 'it's God's punishment.'

Interesting to remember what it's like to have a President who is loved and respected around the world. How much you want to bet that if the law were changed, the Big Dog could run for President in '08 and win in a landslide? (sigh)
Oh, come on, now. I would wage next week's coffee money that any heterosexual man here would accept sex from Ms. Ore, should it be offered up. Sorry--but experience has shown me that when in need, the male animal will turn to the most unlikely candidates....
What was the Valerie Solanis line from "The Society for Cutting Up Men"? "Men will swim an ocean of vomit, wade a river of snot, if they know there's a willing pussy on the other side."
Of course, Valerie was a bit nuts.
lunascorp...can't afford to take the chance, not at this stage of the game.
P&T: So Sherwood is in NorthEAST Pennsylvania, not Northwest if my eyes are working correctly today...
Tough area to live in, former coal belt.
Most of the district is out of the former coal belt. It stops around Scranton. Its an economically depressed area. Aside from Scranton & some other minor areas, given its rural makeup, its Repub territory.
This is funny because I sense the main source of employment is gov. I served on jury duty about 8 years ago & the jury pool largely consisted of people who were teachers, park attendants, road crews, social service types, police/firemen etc.
The real Merkin Patriot has no e-mail address.
B1--we could try a Wiener-Levy random walk progression and test your theory...
How much you want to bet that if the law were changed, the Big Dog could run for President in '08
As I mentioned above, he could run for Vice President.
Now if we think really hard about severe dissociative disorders, I bet somebody will serendipitously post a picture of Shrubya!
I worked for Casey in 2000, in a god forsaken place between Scranton and Binghamton. Unfortunately, I don't think this will hurt him up there.
There are all kinds of rumors about him running around with other people's wives. He and his bro own "Shadowbrook" (I think that's the name), which is a golf course, among other things, and there are rumors of a body buried there...
How much you want to bet that if the law were changed, the Big Dog could run for President in '08 and win in a landslide? (sigh)
I keep saying we should trade them and allow them to run the Governator if we can run Clinton. We'd win in a heartbeat.
See, Sally says tertiary syphillis, up pops Scalia! You wanna tell me again how everything is just random coincidence?
It was divinely ordained that the eschaton community would find Ms. Ore's next sugar daddy for her.
I gave my mom his book and she read it cover to cover in three days! She couldn't put it down. Had no idea that the Republican spin machine was so vicious ~ my mom, she is waking up, and I am proud of her.
Bill Clinton just came to Austin, and people were camped out outside the bookstore starting the night before, just to see him! Clinton-love reigns!
And Sallyh: Just to be clear--The HIV quote was from Wojnarowicz. I am not, thankfully, HIV+, though I've seen three friends die of AIDS.
One more reason to hate the GOP, who've ignored the issue since Reagan, and John Paul II, who was criminal in opposing condoms in the age of AIDS.
This all seems to be running on schedule however - it's generally about ten years from acquisition thru co-optation to collapse.
From your lips. . .
"Men will swim an ocean of vomit, wade a river of snot, if they know there's a willing pussy on the other side."
And shouldn't the, um, truth that everyone knows lies behind that statemenet end the evolution vs. intelligent design "debate" once and for all?
There ain't nothing intelligent about it ...

After first subverting the natural defenses (e.g., free press, courts...)
Well, I got the 'it's not you, it's me' speech from a girl who said I was the greatest guy she ever met. Guess she was wrong. So, I am going home and getting smashed.
Then I am going to get smashed again. After that, I'll consider pulling myself together.
Oh, come on, now. I would wage next week's coffee money that any heterosexual man here would accept sex from Ms. Ore, should it be offered up. Sorry--but experience has shown me that when in need, the male animal will turn to the most unlikely candidates....
Wrong.
I'm hornier than anyone I know, and yet I have opted out of sex with attractive women whom I desired because I could tell the desire was not reciprocated.
The male animal isn't quite as simple as you'd like to believe.
Holden - Don't know if you saw the Freepers were protesting Clinton at his book signing in Austin.
Seriously, if JPII showed up in heaven, don't you think god would have a bone to pick with him about that condom thing?
Snow,
Obviously, poor taste on her part. It IS just her.
Whoa, was this a runner up in a Nancy Sinatra look-alike contest, or what?
She must have really liked that song "These Boots are Made for Walkin'" when it first came out in the 60s.
Snow...my condolences...been there, heard that, and know it ain't fun.
Snow,
Sorry!
OK, I'm here, now. It's time for all the trolls to beat a hasty retreat.
I'm hornier than anyone I know, and yet I have opted out of sex with attractive women whom I desired because I could tell the desire was not reciprocated.
Hate to break it to you dude, that's not called "opting out." That's called "getting shut down" aka the Heismann.
Aw, Snow, did you get justfriended? That bites hard.
Holden - Don't know if you saw the Freepers were protesting Clinton at his book signing in Austin.
chris/tx
Yep. Even their own report states they were outnumber by about 1,000 to 1.
They had a photo of the kid protesting (dragged along by his family values parents) in the paper, but I did not want it on my blog.
Bill for Veep!!!
sallyh:
Next up for the 'conscience clause:" refusal to sell antivirals and protease inhibitors because 'it's God's punishment.'
no need for a conscience clause. just let the insurance companies exclude it from coverage. then only rich junkies would afford it.
She must have really liked that song "These Boots are Made for Walkin'" when it first came out in the 60s. Well, if she is 29, she was just a chocolate bar in her dad's back pocket then (thank you Laurie Anderson).
Hate to break it to you dude, that's not called "opting out." That's called "getting shut down"
No, she was willing to have sex, but I could tell, and so I said no...
And Snow--it'll turn around. But getting smashed just now is advisable...
But, I though a random walk was when you just sort of, decide to go for a walk. At random.
Thank you! Tip your server! Try the veal!
And I luv Hecate, by the way. And some old 80 year old woman just ran through my local organic food market with her car just a minute ago.

Whuuuaa?
Oh, come on, now. I would wage next week's coffee money that any heterosexual man here would accept sex from Ms. Ore, should it be offered up.
See above post from yours truly about Ore's eyes. You don't fuck with chicks with eyes like that. Drunkee or no drunkee.
I'm hornier than thou.
Rorschach--I'm sorry for your loss. My first personal encounter with the disease was when a beloved colleague of mine died in 1988. A brilliant statistician, a great guy, a wonderful colleague. And then, it increased from there.
And the work is not getting done. That is what angers me the most. We have great scientists, great ideas, great minds, but we don't get the funding, we don't get the support, and the prejudice lives on and on and on.
I've spoken before of how moralized all illness has become. It's an appalling trend. Apparently, if you fall ill these days, you must have done something to 'deserve' it--only the morally deficit suffer. The notion of cause and effect have eluded the terminally brain dead and deluded ruling this country.
Snow,
I'm sorry to hear about your relationship. Hang in there, hon.
Well, if she is 29, she was just a chocolate bar in her dad's back pocket then (thank you Laurie Anderson).
Inspired allusion!
What happened to my wall-paper samples!?

I know...and that was a Freudian slip I guess. Anyway, he was a smart guy (aside from being a Republican). I normally didn't hang out with conservatives in college, but we Americans studying Politics at Oxford--he was always angry about how the lecturers were all "Socialists."
Oh, come on, now. I would wage next week's coffee money that any heterosexual man here would accept sex from Ms. Ore, should it be offered up. Sorry--but experience has shown me that when in need, the male animal will turn to the most unlikely candidates....
I'm not buying that. There's a difference between "horny" and "desperate", and that woman looks like she's made the rounds at a few too many Elks conventions.
She also looks like she should change her name to "Anita Mann".
No, she was willing to have sex, but I could tell, and so I said no...
Man, how come I never met women like that?!
Not that it matters now ....
Ah, snow.
That's terrible.
Really sorry for ya. 
Flory--already, Medicaid/Medicare reimbursements for cancer drug treatments have been slashed. Well, I guess the feeling is, you must have done something to deserve your fate.
Snow, ugh, heard that one more times than I could count. Least. Favorite. Rejection. Line. Ever.
Any time that I get wistful at being thoroughly domesticated, I just have to remind myself that I'm so glad to be off the dating market.
So this Ore woman is supposedly 29? Yeah, right. Under those pounds of makeup, she's either a lot younger (i.e., she was underage when they first met) or she's got a hell of a lot more mileage on her than she'll admit.
And some old 80 year old woman just ran through my local organic food market with her car just a minute ago.
Ô¿Ô
Wow! I drive-thru organic food market!
What a world we live in!
Snow--I'm horribly sorry for what happened. Getting smashed is, however, the first step towards acceptance.
Sorry, I can't type today! I meant to write "we were Americans studying Politics at Oxford"

See above post from yours truly about Ore's eyes. You don't fuck with chicks with eyes like that. Drunkee or no drunkee.
She's got those "I've seen 'Fatal Attraction' 187 times and it's getting funnier every time I see it!" eyes.
She wiped out all the watermellons.
Wow. Just like in a movie car-chase scene.
Was anyone hurt?

its only the beginning. the easiest place to slash state spending is medicaid. not a real loud lobbyist group there - other than the public hospitals that depend on the revenue.
Sallyh--
You may have seen the story that I posted a few days back, but it is very hopeful and infuriating...
There seems to be a potential way to prevent HIV transmission cheaply and easily, but it languishes due to lack of funding, because it'd be most helpful to poor folks.
From shmee's Onion link on the search for Nicole Ritchie's replacement...
"Any million-dollar Bambi with a vast inheritance and no ambition will do, though gutter-sluts with coke-fueled pasts will be given special consideration. "Murray added that "it doesn't matter if her pussy rattles when the wind blows—we can fix that in post."
We can fix that in post... hahahahahaha!
So this Ore woman is supposedly 29?
"Twenty-nine" is a euphemism for "so far past thirty that I'd rather not say."
She slap took out the entire front of the building and I'm standing there at the cash register with my taters.

As I mentioned above, he could run for Vice President.
Holden Caulfield | Email | Homepage | 05.06.05 - 3:14 pm | #
Holden et al.,
You raise an interesting point. I have been wondering lately if the Republicans might go after that to try to have dear leader go after a third term, and it would surprise me if that is exactly what Karl Rove, growing accustomed to more power amy be thinking about.
I think that the Big Dog is the ONLY thing that iws keeping them from trying.
Just a quick poll here, but how many people think that if Clinton, heaven forbid, should drop dead of a heart attack anytime in the next, say six months, how many people here think that the Republicans would go after the repeal of the 24th (I think) amendment?
Snow--
It IS her. Celebrate!
Go to the Atriots page to see who your real friends are.
I've already had two strong ones in your honor.
Peace,
-Speedy
Rorschach--there are far, far too many stories like this. As a biostatistician and a human, my rage boils every single time I hear these stories.
What is it with old people and melons? Go hide out by the cantaloups at the grocery store some time and see what I mean.

Answer B.
"that's that red state sanctity. here in the blue states we marry for love. it's cultural."
Quite a few of us practice fidelity as well.
Not that I should comment on anyone else's looks but if this woman represents the type Republican upholders of the 'sanctity of marriage' fancy ... Nearly speechless!

My two kitties are in love! The little pitiful black one I adopted last week, too shy and sad to even lift his head, has made a friend for life.

Yeah, 29 is a bad number. Even if you are that age, just skip it. Like the 13th floor on an elevator... the number's too loaded.

Somebody asked Clinton in 2003 if he would accept the VP slot on the democratic ticket. He made it very very clear that he thought his running as VP would be unconstitutional based on his reading of the 22d amendment. I am not sure I agree with him, but it sounds as if his doing so would at least throw the decision into the courts.

Tony Blair Wants to “Move On.” The Media Says: “No!”
Look, I’m no big fan of the Labour Party. I’m a conservative capitalist. As such, I’ve always much preferred the idea of a Tory-led government in Britain.
But I have to be honest here. I’ve been laughing out loud at the liberal media’s coverage of yesterday’s elections over in Britain.
I mean, come on. Tony Blair just led his Labour Party to win three consecutive elections for the first time in British history. Sure, the margin of Labour’s majority was reduced, but it’s not as if Blair had the good fortune of having the likes of Tom Daschle and Nancy Pelosi as the leaders of the opposition.
Yet if you read the international media, you’d think that Blair suffered a McGovern-style defeat, and that anti-war college students, media pundits, and humanities professors, in Britain and elsewhere, are all primed to party like it was 1969.
Finally, I can’t help but notice a stunning dichotomy in the way American leftists feel about Blair, currently, as compared to several years ago.
I remember when Blair first was elected. Oh, my, how trust-fund liberal media and academia types swooned. He was a political rock star to them.
But then fate made him an ally of George W. Bush. As a result, we were able to witness a conundrum of ironies: Partisan-liberal U.S. Democrats rooting against a British Labour Party PM candidate, and then “celebrating” the fact that he was re-elected, but with less of a ruling majority, and with conservative Tories having gained political ground.
Yaaay. Huh? What?
Well, I guess if you’re a leftist, in this day and age, the enemy of the ally to your deeply-hated enemy is now your friend, and the former object of your rapt affection now is your enemy.
John,

Personally, I've always heard the "it's me, not you" line as "Well, it really is you, but it's something probably fairly minor and inconsequential, and in any event, I don't have the courage or respect for you simply as a fellow human being to tell you what the problem is". Or she's fuckin' someone else. Same thing with the "let's see other people", which means if s/he isn't riding a new pony already, s/he's got one seperated from the herd and is winding up the lasso. My all-time favorite break-up line, however, is "You just don't have ambition", which basically means "You don't want to work yourself into an early grave at a soul-destroying job you hate to make shit-tons of money that I can spend".
And people wonder why I don't date much.

RE: Big Dawg as VP
Not Constitutional, in my view (although I admit it's vague).
In order to run for VP, you've got to meet the qualifications for President. Clinton doesn't qualify because he's already been elected to the office twice.
I think we can all agree that was the intent, and that's how I think the Supreme Court would interpret it.

And you know the screwed up thing about that, is that it's true for a whole lot of dudes. However, if you don't fuck anything that moves and spreads, then something's wrong with you. And what kills me...the folks who give the most shit about not taking advantage of a situation (say, a lonely woman in the middle of a collapsing marriage) are female. I ain't kiddin', man.

there is so much more to it than that. sometimes, a person you care for loves you so much they blind themselves to reality, hurting themselves. how can you say that at the same time you say you're leaving them? there's just no good way to say it, then. one has to wait, and let separation do its job. there are other reasons as well, sometimes the threat of violence to self or others is at play.
short version: it's not always disrespect, sometimes it's a kind of wisdom.

In order to run for VP, you've got to meet the qualifications for President.
The qualifications are to be more than 35 and born in the United States. The question is whether or not the amendment establishes that a Vice President must hold qualifications other than that.
It does not viz:
Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2. This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.
Stinking heteros wont leave us alone.
Cast Iron Stomach
Parody.
I regret my penis.
How can one not love that sentence?
gender anarchy, yes!
it's liberating to "act like a man." of course that's not what I think i'm doing, but it sure is educational. same thing is true for guys, drag is a totally freeing experience that is equally informative. same with gender-neutral practice, people should try loving all sorts of different people.
preferences are great, but variety is the spice of life. i've never understood why people want to be so uptight.

I completely understand.

Damn haloscan - I posted a comment about the kittens. It disappeared. Ten to one it reappears when I post this one.
John - those kittens are darling.
and afternoon, everyone.
Woops...I meant, he declared his love for me (not for himself, or Karl Rove!)
I kinda liked it better when you said he declared his love to himself. Being a repug, it made perfect sense.
i've been to mississipi, backslider. i can see why people leave, but i can see why people stay too.
can't think of another politician with the combination of brains and guts that he had
not to mention charisma. since this really is a country where a good third of the electorate votes on the "guy-I'd-rather-have-a-beer-with" principle (never mind the idiocy of wanting to have a beer with a recovering (or not so recovering) alcoholic), we really do need more Big Dogs (especially here in California, where finding charismatic liberals SHOULDN'T be a problem).
of course that's not what I think i'm doing, but it sure is educational. same thing is true for guys, drag is a totally freeing experience that is equally informative. same with gender-neutral practice, people should try loving all sorts of different people.
preferences are great, but variety is the spice of life. i've never understood why people want to be so uptight.
Yes indeed!
Love drag. In fact, I went to Anne Rice's Halloween party as Drag Queen Jesus, which was fun.
And as far as the principle of gender anarchy goes, I still remember that moment when I read Monique Wittig's "Lesbians are not Women" and the light bulb went on in my head.
Perfectly stated.
short version: it's not always disrespect, sometimes it's a kind of wisdom.

vicki- i'm dying over the little pearl one!!1
i almost stepped into the animal shelter today. (i lost my little boy a few weeks back) almost. luckily, the nephew needed to go, so no chance to "temporarily" get him a new kitten. but it was close.

I want them all.
What's wrong with you, people? It's not the sex, it's the lying. Scratch that, um, he's not under oath! Wait, he took the marriage vows . . . um . . . I dunno. I'm trying to think like a wingnut, it's just not happening.
backslider: are you ever going to heal?
Sis, I appreciate the thought, but believe me, them demons have been dealt with and put down. I have absolutely no ill will towards any female I've been intimate with on any level. At the same time, I do not have the inclination to waste too much of my life running into that brick wall over and over.
there is so much more to it than that. sometimes, a person you care for loves you so much they blind themselves to reality, hurting themselves. how can you say that at the same time you say you're leaving them? there's just no good way to say it, then. one has to wait, and let separation do its job. there are other reasons as well, sometimes the threat of violence to self or others is at play.
Perhaps, but I really don't think it does anybody any good to sugarcoat stuff. It's still lying and deceit and The Game, even if it's done with good intentions. Now, don't get me wrong; I don't advocate anyone following my path, but at the same time, I don't feel the need to play the bullshit games people play if I choose not too.
short version: it's not always disrespect, sometimes it's a kind of wisdom.
True, true...but most of the time it's disrespect and cowardice. This is just opnions based on observation and experience, and thus should be taken with the requisite grain of salt, but most people are flat-out gutless when it comes to difficulties in personal relationships. We try to dance around problems or ignore them. We bitch about them, sure, but to our friends (or some random dude you barely know), rarely ever to the source of those problems (be they our significant other or, quite likely, ourselves).
But that's how society says it should be done, I sometimes think. Little white lies, make the other person feel better if possible, and absolutely nothing changes. If the problem isn't addressed and possibly dealt with (which isn't always possible), the same thing will happen over and over, and we'll sit up until the dark hours of the morning wondering why.
And then, we'll write country songs about it.

Yeah, there's that, too. I freely admit to being a guy's guy, but hold the right to think Maxim is insulting to the intelligence, porn is more tedious than erotic, and I have complete control over my dick. The other side is we basically don't pay attention or listen to someone else when they're talking about what they want/need/desire (be it romantic or otherwise); instead, we put people into little slots and it angers and confuses us when they refuse to act like we expect 'em to.

it's reductive, and assumes that the lust for women is the whole of the lesbian existence. i do a lot more that makes me a "lesbian" than fuck women. unfortunately. no, i'm kidding, but seriously- men can never "be" lesbian, even on the inside. without knowing the part about society hating and shunning you, the sex just isn't the same.

I know that now. I didn't mean to be insulting. I apologized when a very kind poly-bi in the group took me aside and explained how in every way, shape, and form I was being an idiot.
But the saving grace was that they knew me, and that I wasn't usually an insensitive ass-clown. I suppose I used up my one "Moron Moment" with my friends though.
[excerpt from
The Mask of Anarchy; Written on the occasion of the massacre at Manchester.
by Percy Bysshe Shelley]
‘And these words shall then become
Like Oppression’s thundered doom
Ringing through each heart and brain.
Heard again—again—again—
‘Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number—
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you—
Ye are many—they are few.’
[end quote]
I'm with Backslider on relationships. Right now, the gain isn't worth the pain. My life is so peaceful, and my focus has been on raising my daughter...every time a man comes on board it fucks with my pleasant reality. The role I've been playing in relationships in recent years is one of helping people achieve their next level of growth. It's not necessarily a role I've chosen, but it is clearly a pattern I've noticed. I'm glad to have been a catalyst for the greater good of others, but I no longer desire playing the role of a stepping stone.
Probably sounds weird to y'all, but that is how I feel.
Of course, "What's you sign, Baby?", is up there as well.

chicago dyke,
Pot helps, too. Anger is a wasteful emotion. It's energy and it can be put to good uses, but it can also overwhelm very, very easily. I spent most of my early twenties in a blind rage at everything; these days it's more like bemused irritation. Part of it - for me, anyway - is avoiding things I just know are gonna piss me off and where my anger is gonna accomplish absolutely nothing.
Or in other words, don't get mad...get even.
Olaf,
It's an old hit by Ruben Blades called "Plástico". The lyrics would meet with approval with many Atriots:
Ella era una chica plástica
De esas que veo por ahí
De esas que cuando se agitan
Sudan Chanel number three
Que sueñan casarse con un doctor
Pues él puede mantenerlas mejor
No le hablan a nadie si no es su igual
A menos que sea fulano de tal
Son lindas delgadas de buen vestir
De mirada esquiva y falso reir
El era un muchacho plástico
De esos que veo por ahí
Con la peinilla en la mano
Y cara de yo no fuí
De los que por temer conversación
Discuten que marca de carro es mejor
De los que prefieren el no comer
Por las aparencias que hay que tener
Pa' andar elegantes y así poder
Una chica plástica recoger
Era una pareja plastica
De esas que veo por ahi
El pensando solo en dinero
Ella en la moda en Paris
Aparentado lo que no son
Viviendo en un mundo de puro ilusión
Diciendo a su hijo de cinco años:
"No juegues con niños de color extraño"
Ahogados en deudas para mantener
Su status social en modo "coctél"
Era una ciudad de plástico
De esas que no quiero ver
De edificios cancerosos
Y un corazón de oropel
Donde en vez de un sol amanece un dólar
Donde nadie ríe donde nadie llora
Gente de rostros de poliester
Que escuchan sin oir y miran sin ver
Gente que vendió por comodidad
Su razon de ser y su libertad
Oye latino oye hermano oye amigo
Nunca vendas tu destino por el oro ni la comodidad
Nunca descanses pues nos falta nadar bastante
Vamos todos adelante para juntos terminar
Con la ignorancia que nos trae sugestionados
Con modelos importados que no son la solución
No te dejes confundir busca el fondo y su razón
Recuerda se ven las caras pero nunca el corazón
Choro :
Se ven las caras, se ven las caras, ¡ vaya ! pero nunca el corazon
Del polvo venimos todos y alli regresaremos como dice la cancion
Recuerda que el plastico de derrite si le da de lleno el sol
Estudia trabaja y se gente primero ahi esta la salvacion
Pero que mira mira no te dejes confundir busca el fondo y su razon
Pa' lante pa' lante pa' lante pa' lante pa' lante y asi seguiremos unidos y al final venceremos
Pero senoras y senores
En medio del plastico
Tambien se ven las caras de esperanza
Se ven las caras orgullosas
Que trabajan por una latinoamerica unida
Por un mañana de esperanza y de libertad
Se ven las caras
Se ven las caras de trabajo y de sudor
De gente de carne y hueso que no se vendió
De gente trabajando buscando el nuevo camino
Orgullosa de su herencia y de ser latinos
De una raza unida, la que Bolívar soñó
Siembra

backslider-
my mom gave me this list when i started my first period, it was called 'dangerous chemicals' and the most dangerous combo was "alcohol, gasoline, and testosterone" or something like that. it was only partly a joke, she taught me that young men are so full of testosterone that they literally can't think, and i still think she's right.
which is why i think we do it all wrong in this country. our system should be one where any time a young man feels anger or strong negative emotion, he can go and be pleased by a willing partner of his choice immediately and for free. heck, for all men. women should accept that men can be brought to civilization much faster this way, and with much less of the destructive sex-substitute warfare and violence that denial breeds.
Apologies for the long post. I should have just linked to it.

I'm with you on that one.
I was the most beat-down, emotionally exhausted mongrel on the planet when things began with the woman to whom I'm now wed.
And the moment that I first realized she was the one, and that it would work, was the moment she said to me, "We're not dating, and we are never going to be dating."
Somehow, I knew...

Don't go to sleep... you're hilarious.

The minute you give up, there you are.
Very true. But the trick is you have to really give up. Not "La la la, I'm giving up now, do you hear me Fates, I'm giving up now, I'm not interested."
Man that doesn't work, they see through that right away.

That's cool, hoss, one man's trash and all that. I would not be so presumptuous as to think the particular road I ride is fit for all feet.
Tena,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but does withholding the reason why the relationship is in dire straits do anybody any good? Part of love is hurting the people you love, and there's absolutely no way around (because most of the time, you're totally unaware of hurting anyone). If the problem is never even addressed, how does the problem ever get solved? If you can't pull someone aside and say "Look, what you're doing is hurtfull to me. Can we fix this? If not, how can we deal with its continued existence?"
What I've found in doing that - and I do try to practice what I preach, mind - is that a whole lot of times, it ain't a problem of the other person. It's my problem or my inability to deal with the situation. Air the problem...you either fix it, learn to live with it or realize it's time to call it a day.
Again, though, that's just the way I do things, and I don't claim it's any more superior than anyone else's technique. I'll admit, this has been on my mind a lot lately. Got a whole lot of friends, including my brother, who are overly "concered" with my current near-hermatic lifestyle. I just wish folks would listen and pay attention when other people talk. Not everyone's wired the same way, and this should be taken into consideration. It rarely is, though, it seems.
Chi-Dyke - I knew someone would come back on me and say something about that comment. I meant normal people, not sociopaths like Bush.
Actually I don't know that Bush knows that he's hurting anyone. That's how fucked up he is.
Vicki and Backslider,
Tena is utterly correct.
Stop seeking; don't even think about it and the most perfect person will appear out of thin air.
I just celebrated 15 years with Ms. Cleveland Bob yesterday and that is precisely what happened to us. We had both quit looking at the exact moment we met one another.
It strikes me that you can tell who your real friends are by how many moron moments they are willing to give you.
I know I phrased it wrong the moment after I hit "OK."
Okay, let's try it like this.
There are screw-ups everyone makes, the kind that are irritating, but you get through...usually with an apology and some repayment.
"Oops, I'm sorry I knocked over your lamp." is usually followed by an offer for a new lamp and hand-wringing. Genuine sorrow. You didn't mean to do it. It was an accident. Usually, a friend will forgive you for that.
A "Moron Moment," to me, is something so appalling that you only get one of. A drunken fucking of friend's SO or smashing up friend's car. Or the fucking of friend's dead grandmother during the said grandmother's funeral service.
Moron Moment.

Tena, good one. I agree with Ror, the minute you stop trying to control everything is the minute you stop obstructing destiny. Then things unfold.
rorschach - I've heard Eddie say that he's a lesbian in a man's body, I honestly have.
I'm sorry if that is offensive; I'm sure he doesn't mean it to be - but that is how he used to describe himself. Dunno if he still does.

that's the whole point, underwhelm. it probably is something chemical, when you think certain thoughts during periods of strong emotion those thoughts are 'tainted' and you most likely wouldn't have them in a more sober frame of mind.
i just watched this happen to a very scary person i know who wanted to get into a fight and kill someone. he was drunk, but the fight almost began as he was attempting to score with a woman. all the craziness that ensued could've been avoided had he and the woman been allowed to go off and do it.
i know i'm oversimplifying, but i honestly think that when you strip away culture, we're simple animals. science teaches us how to understand animal behavior, yet we resist this as we ask questions about how we could construct a balanced society.
Danziger is a genius. The Christian Science Monitor sucks now that he is gone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but does withholding the reason why the relationship is in dire straits do anybody any good?
In short, you need to find someone who does not withhold in this fashion.
And, apologies to chidyke for the use of the phrase "gratuitous sheep."
I'll buy anything Eddie Izzard is selling. He's the sexiest woman trapped in a man's body I've ever seen.
I had to figure out everything else by my myself. Thanks, Mom!
Jenny from the ßlog
Holy crap, how true is that? My mother gave me some odd comic book she had saved from her teen years from the Franco era. It made me want to rip out my crotch.
but i honestly think that when you strip away culture, we're simple animals.
I'm in complete agreement here.
Got it John, I see the distinction. I was thinking along the lines of something in between the broken lamp and the drunken fucking of friend's SO (though I'm not sure you get even one of those). Don't have any concrete examples right now, which I believe is my brain's way of telling me that I need my strong afternoon dose of caffeine. Must go re-drug myself.
JennyftBlog - I used to feel as if I could control things if I just "held my mouth right." I thought if I made the right wishes and all of that I could keep my mother from dying.
Ha ha ha.
I learned - it doesn't matter if you let go, it's going to be gone. Might as well quit fooling oneself and slip into the stream of events let them take you where they will. I'm more than a bit of a Taoist in my beliefs and I try these days to not fight with destiny or whatever you want to call it. You can't win anyway.
More than a couple? Those are the people you need to stick with through thick and thin. Thank goodness I have friends who have put up with a few of my moron moments.
sdf (Disco Stu only in spirit)
I used to think I should stop drinking so much at parties to avoid saying stupid shit. I decided it was better to just keep my sloppy mouth shut and bask in the sweet, beautiful drunk-talk of others. It's a win-win, really.
I agree with Ror, the minute you stop trying to control everything is the minute you stop obstructing destiny. Then things unfold.
Jenny--Glad you agree. This is just one more reason I didn't take the quick way down from the New Orleans bridge that night... I'd've missed so much!
Tena--I've never heard him say that, but I think it's rather a shame that he has. I don't consider it offensive, just rather tacky and banal. Just not as funny as Izzard usually is...
i don't see what dire straits has to do with it.
I have to give some credence to the whole synchronicity/hand of destiny thing. I was reading a book that mentioned Ilya Prigogine, and the next day, I saw a display in a building that contained a picture of him, because it turned out he worked there. Weird.
Oh, and Jenny - I couldn't agree more about Eddie Izzard. From the first time I saw him in a picture in the New Yorker I was in lust and I have been ever since.
He was wearing a gold lame suit and high heels and he had a cigarette hanging out of the side of his mouth and everything about him just made me go "ooh!"
We've a lot to learn from water, that's for sure.

chicago dyke,
Hmmm. I'll have to think on that concept for a while. Personally, I think it'd be a better idea to figure out how to control one's anger before you'd need a blow job to stop seeing red. However, I think it'd mean dropping the whole "win at any cost" idea of success our culture promotes, and I have no idea how to do that.
Tena,
Vicki - now that you and Backslider have decided to forgo relationships you will probably both meet the loves of your lives - I swear to the goddesses that's how it works.
Well, I can't speak for Miss Vicki, but I've never decided to forgo relationships. Granted, I can't see myself ever getting married, but I have never said I give up the ghost. I just don't like dating and all the emotional horseshit that's involved with modern romantic entanglements. I take romance like I take everything else: I'm here and it can come and get me whenever it wants. If it meets the criteria, boom, we're in bidness.
In the meantime, there's Bo Diddley, Richard Feynman, Bugs Bunny and Richard Rorty, to name a few, too keep me distracted.

What's with the Band-Aid on that skank's left arm?
one long-term partner of mine used to refer to herself as a gay man trapped in a woman's body.
She was really into that stuff.
She used to hang out with her gay brother and all of his friends when they would indulge in some debauchery at their "parties."
After she moved to San Francisco, she made a habit of visiting some of the gay men's sex clubs and such.
But of course if a guy uses that line on somebody it's pathetic.
And I don't think anyone can even imagine what it is like to be anybody else, same sex or not.
we all have our own little reality/nightmare
until that whole Christopher Walken "brainstorm" movie becomes reality people will never know what is in the heads of even their closest family memebrs, lovers, and friends.
Oh, fuckengruven. What's all this lesbo talk in here about?
I'm an asshole!
He was wearing a gold lame suit and high heels and he had a cigarette hanging out of the side of his mouth and everything about him just made me go "ooh!"

He is a hottie, I agree...

Sorry. Conflating comedians again.
Two years after the U.S. invasion, Iraq is perched on the brink of civil war. Months after the election, the new Iraqi government remains hunkered down inside the fortified Green Zone in Baghdad, surviving only because it is defended by thousands of U.S. troops. Iraqi officials hold meetings and press conferences in Alamo-like settings, often punctuated by the sounds of nearby explosions. Outside the Green Zone, party offices and government buildings are surrounded by tank traps, blast walls made from concrete slabs eighteen feet high, and private militias wielding machine guns and AK-47s. Even minor government officials travel from fort to fort in heavily armed convoys of Humvees.

Hate to post so late in the thread but don't know if you peeps have seen this:
Kevin Francois gave up his lunch break to talk to his mother, but it ended up costing him the rest of the school year.
Francois, a junior at Spencer High School in Columbus, was suspended for disorderly conduct Wednesday after he was told to give up his cell phone at lunch while talking to his mother who is deployed in Iraq, he said.
His mother, Sgt. 1st Class Monique Bates, left in January for a one-year tour and serves with the 203rd Forward Support Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division.
Support the troops, huh?
rorschach - I've heard Eddie say that he's a lesbian in a man's body, I honestly have.
I'm sorry if that is offensive; I'm sure he doesn't mean it to be - but that is how he used to describe himself. Dunno if he still does.

'course i don't know what he means by it exactly, but it's not in the context of trying to pick up a woman. I think it's his way to try to explain his particular sexuality. He identifies with women and yet he is attracted to women. Maybe not terribly sophisticated, but, in context, I don't think it comes from a bad place.
I love Eddie, too. Can ya tell!

rorschach - well, all I can say is that I haven't heard him say it in awhile. I have heard him talk about being a tomboy, too.
I didn't find it tacky, but then, what do I know? It made sense to me at the time. Oh well...
I think my presence here has been effective and any duty I may have had is done.
Arthur put Dire Straits on the stereo. Fenchurch pushed ajar the upstairs front door to let in a little more of the sweet fragrant night air. They both sat on some of the furniture made out of cushions, very close to the open bottle of champagne.
"No," said Fenchurch, "not till you've found out what's wrong with me, which bit. But I suppose," she added very, very, very quietly, "that we may as well start with where your hand is now."
Arthur said, "So which way do I go?"
"Down," said Fenchurch, "on this occasion."
He moved his hand.
"Down," she said, "is in fact the other way."
oh,
and last time I was at a drag show, one of the boys told me I looked like eddie izzard, I didn't take that as a compliment at the time...
maybe I will re-think that now given this discussion.
I just called my brother and told him to check out his kitties on the blog!
He's jiggy with it.
And I do agree with you guys about the concept of letting go ~ it's hard to learn, but once you have it down, the struggle is over and enjoyment and beauty in everything is open to you.
So with that, I bid you all a fond farewell.
goodbye

short version: it's not always disrespect, sometimes it's a kind of wisdom.
That can depend on which end of the looking glass one finds oneself.

If that's the kind of guy who really rattles your knickers, then you'll just love this fella.

Again, far be it from me to be harsh on him or on you!

abyssgazer - Exactly - Eddie was talking about his sexuality. It was in an early performance video that we saw - it might have been the one where he comes out on the giant book. He also talks about his dylexia in that performance.
Holden--
I checked out your photo there yesterday, and the only word for it is: "Fabulous."
Just sayin'.

holden- and i read in the WSJ today (no choice, print version in the waiting room) that our afghan friends had a hard time very recently as well, with something like 10 dead of their security forces and many more injured.

rorschach -
I was shooting for the other F-word when I picked that photo.
Fluffit.
