Well, I am reading collapse, and he just dismisses the possibility of the United States collapsing in the introduction without even a second glance. It's probably for readability purposes, but it's rather ridiculous.
"It is inconceivable... that the United States will collapse in the forseeable future."
Um, no.
Okay, I was just wondering how I can go to happy hour, and then to a friend's b-day party, and write 6 more pages on Kerouac, and be ready to leave for Germany tomorrow... and my wife's advice--words to live by--

I'll tell you what the fuck is wrong with Kansass- they want to prove that Presidents evolved from apes...
Kansas Board Holds Evolution Hearings By JOHN HANNA, Associated Press Writer
TOPEKA, Kan. - As a State Board of Education subcommittee heard more testimony Friday on how evolution should be taught in Kansas classrooms, one member acknowledged that she hadn't read all of an evolution-friendly draft of science standards proposed by educators.Kathy Martin of Clay Center made the comment while attempting to reassure a witness who said he hadn't read the entire proposal, just parts of it. Russell Carlson, a biochemistry and molecular biology professor at the University of Georgia, said he had reviewed an alternate proposal from intelligent design advocates.

since i was neither wedded to the BBCTV version, nor a memorizer of the books, but was only familiar through the radio show version, i found it completely entertaining. some die-hard fans may complain of a few details, but by any standards, it's at least great fun for a friday afternoon when you really ought to be working.

I posted this at 6:40 a.m. For those of you who are not amongst the morning crew, here it is again. BTW, I bought a new copy of Harpers today and photocopied the articles to pass out to friends. I gave them to two, who got very depressed when hearing the subject matter but admitted that the articles probably had to be read.
From Chris Hedges' article in the May, 2005 Harpers (sorry I couldn't find it online):
Then as now, Adams (Professor James Luther Admams, ethics professor at Harvard Divinity School, speaking 25 yrs. ago when Jerry Falwell started his rise) said too many liberals failed to understand the power and allure of evil, and when the radical Christians came, these people would undoubtedly play by the old, polite rules of democracy long after those in power had begun to dismantle the democratic state. Adams had watched German academics fall silent or conform. He knew how desperately people want to believe the comfortable lies told by totalitarian movements, how easily those lies lull moderates into passivity.
Adams told us to watch closely the Christian right's persecution of homosexuals and lesbians. Hitler, he reminded us, promised to restore moral values not long after he took power in 1933, then imposed a ban on all homosexual and lesbian organizations and publications. Then came raids on the places where homosexuals gathered, culminating on May 6, 1933, with the ransacking of the Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin. Twelve thousand volumes from the institute's library were tossed into a public bonfire. Homosexuals and lesbians, Adams said, would be the first 'deviants' singled out by the Christian right. We would be the next.
I think we are just about there.
Seebach--he's trying to reach a broad audience with the book
I understand. But I certainly hope something spurs us to action soon. Things just get that much harder to work after Bush crashes the stock market.

As an informed American, you know the barrier the President's judicial nominees are facing. A host of senators are obstructing his judicial nominees by refusing to allow them an up or down vote to the floor of the Senate. Without this vote, a standstill results and the judicial vacancies remain.
Here is an innovative way to encourage your senators to vote on judicial nominations: Join the Blue Finger Campaign! A finger dipped in blue ink now serves as a symbol for democracy to the Iraqi people. Just as the Iraqi citizens voted and exercised their new-found freedom, our senators must also fulfill their responsibility to vote on judicial nominations.
Send an 18-inch foam "finger," as seen at sporting events, to your senators to encourage them to exercise their constitutional obligation-and vote.
We must encourage them to vote! Many Senate offices tell us they are not hearing from their constituents on this important issue! Make your voice heard today! Don't let your senators waver. Click here to send them a Blue Finger!
Barbara Bradley Hagerty is at it again on NPR--a fawning profile of a conservative Christian legal outfit taking on the ACLU and gay rights and those nasty activist judges who "eviscerate" (her word) the electoral gains of conservatives.
NPR (and the increasingly useless PBS) present a real problem for me: I no longer have any interest in supporting them with donations because of their rightward tilt, but the cruel irony is that this is precisely what the GOP fucks want--by "eviscerating" (as BBH says) public broadcasting in such a way that its audience turns away from it, they ensure its death, which is their objective since they don't believe that such a thing a public broadcasting should exist.
It's a fundamental part of their m.o.--they're doing it with education, Social Security, etc. The dilemma is: does one say "Fuck NPR" and let it whither and die, or try to fight for the principle of public broadcasting?

Thank you. Hecate
This just in: a piece of Michael Jackson's original nose turned up in a Peanut Buster Parfait at a Dairy Queen in Des Moines yesterday. Susan Kilpatrick, who friends say often stopped by the DQ after work, was so distressed by her find that she reportedly could no longer bear to wed her long-time fiance Michael Jackson (no relation to the singer), a local roofer, and fled town. Michael, in a fit of despondency, jumped over the DQ counter and plunged his face into the hot fudge topping, suffering third-degree burns over 90% of his face. He is currently in critical condition at an unnamed area hospital. It is not known at this time how the offending bit of Mr. Jackson ended up at the DQ, but sources close to the investigation report that DNA tests have confirmed it to be his. Nancy Grace will have more later. Stay tuned.
Wendell--she's such a shill. I almost puked during her presentation yesterday. See earlier thread for more details.

I tried Atrios' post below without beer goggles. Big mistake.
Couldn't post down there. Whats up with haloscan?
NYMary,
Yup. She co-wrote it. Mae Axton wrote it with a dude named Thomas Durnden (I think). The Big E got composer's credit for the tune, but I think that's more to do with the old practice of "cutting in" on a song (how Alan Freed got on "Maybellene", for example) than any actual input from the King hisself. The late Mrs. Axton was an English teacher and an amatuer songwriter. I can't think of anything else she wrote off the top of my head, and if I remember correctly she wrote most of "Heartbreak Hotel" and the Durden fella actually did the legwork.
A note...the guitar solo in the aforementioned song is considered one of the worst heard on a major hit (and it was a huge hit, mind). Scotty Moore hisself is counted amongst those who think so. Reportedly, after finishing it, he said "Well, that's good enough for jazz." Says volumes to me, in a koan-esque sorta way.

Well, for starters you keep exercising your rights under the Constitution-speech, assembly, all that stuff. I know that sounds mild, but some people are already afraid to do that. If you're not willing to go to jail, support those who can. And help the conscientious objectors in the military. If there is a draft, help people to avoid it. Just a few ideas off the top of my head.

My brother the guitar player and I have been kicking around the idea of forming a ZZ Top-esque power trio with the ex-drummer of his main band. Basically it'd let us play stuff other folks wouldn't, but the first "project" (or, as you might call it, "goofy idea come up when higher than God") is an Elvis tribute. Been done before, you say? Ah ah...this would only be Elvis songs from basically the "Elvis" NBC special (196
on, mostly stuff from the '70s. No "Heartbreak Hotel" or "Don't Be Cruel", but "Suspicious Minds", "Promise Land", "Kentucky Rain" and, of course, "Burning Love".
Reason being, we grew up near Tupelo in the '80s before country radio fell under the Clearchannel juggernaut, and you could still hear funky shit not out of the current Nashvegas hit machine. We grew up on '70s Elvis, and musically speaking, that's still my favorite era.
And we're not gonna say shit about what we're doing when we're playing the shows, see how long it takes folks to figure it out.

Why does everyone persist in saying the Club of Rome made specific predictions they said would be exact, and would be proven wrong? I read their damn book, and they said, at current growth rates, here are some probably inaccurate projections.
The thing they did say is we're all screwed by 2070 if we don't change our way of life, and I don't see that one as being inaccurate.
Erm, that is, they said they were exact predictions, and they were proven wrong. They made no exact predictions save one. And even that one they said was preventable.

Probably, though I think that might fall in the grey area. We're probably gonna bend the rules a bit to include some earlier sixties movie stuff like "Bossa Nova Baby" and "Let Yourself Go", but frankly, the main point is to not do stuff from the '50s. We're both contradictory little bastards.

No, but I do have Crescent Dragonwagon's (one time wife to Daniel Manus Pinkwater, the author of _Lizard Music_) _Soup and Bread_ and of course Alice B. Toklas' work. Also, the notorious San Francisco Junior League cookbooks, both volumes. You'd be surprised.
