Jeffraham, where are you?
I heart avedon and attaturk.

God, that was depressing. Especially the comment from Melissa.

Just another one of those "moving violations" that happened over there all the time. Nothing to look at. Move along.

Dude, that was so totally an accident!
Why do you hate America?
"Accidents" Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
After reading about the murdered Afghani prisoners, I don't think you can leave anything out of the question with regards to the cretins in charge.

Accidents are the residue of design.
in good news chimpys approval ratings have hit 43%. of course, with diebold, that probably would represent a mandate.

You have to break a few rotten eggs when you throw them at the Fourth Estate. Er something'...
OT and speaking of Afganistan:
WASHINGTON, May 21 - United States officials warned this month in an internal assessment that an American-financed poppy eradication program aimed at curtailing Afghanistan's huge heroin trade had been ineffective, in part because President Hamid Karzai "has been unwilling to assert strong leadership."
Damn. It's a sad day when we have to start bad mouthing our own puppets for shit we fucked up.
"Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas said he would filibuster any bill to keep it from passing."
Irony is not dead!
It's only fair that embryos deserve an up or down vote in the Senate!
In light of this information, I think its high time that we get to choose which "journalists" get to cover the debacle in Iraq.
I nominate Tim-meh.

There's a little-known loophole in the nuclear option to give Republican filibusters a permanent exemption.
first its torturing and murdering terrorists, which they justify by national security when they arent lying about it. then there are the reporters, whoops, another accident, probably justified the same way. the bushies are careening down the slippery slope, and they arent going to brake for us.
And they laughed and laughed.
[A British] officer said: "US troops have the attitude of shoot first and ask questions later. They simply won't take any risk.
...
"I explained that their tactics were alienating the civil population and could lengthen the insurgency by a decade. Unfortunately, when we ex-plained our rules of engagement which are based around the principle of minimum force, the US troops just laughed."
I nominate Tim-meh.

We need to make a big stink about the disappearing of Galloway's testimony (not just the statement) from all public record.
Under what pretense, exactly, can this official testimony before OUR legislative body be denied access to the citizens of our ostensibly free nation.

National security?
This is a fucking crime.

Wouldn't put it past 'em.
BDM,
I heard this week that Afghanistan currently supplies 90% of the world's heroin.
I hope the BFEE insists on its right muscle money, at least.
The US has a reputation to preserve, after all.
Wouldn't put it past 'em.
I'd apologize for giving them the idea, but I'm sure they already had it.
"I explained that their tactics were alienating the civil population and could lengthen the insurgency by a decade. Unfortunately, when we ex-plained our rules of engagement which are based around the principle of minimum force, the US troops just laughed."
And throughout British military history nothing like this has ever happened, so they have no idea what they're talking about here.
I suppose we haven't grown tired of having our asses handed to us yet.
For more irony, read here:

I wonder how much play that comment of Brownbck's will get in the MSM - in light of the 'nookular option'?
No I don't.
I suppose we haven't grown tired of having our asses handed to us yet.
Big Daddy Mars - However, it's just come to my attention that Arizona would like some people to come out and adopt feral burros. Evidently wild horses get adopted pretty easily, but feral burros, um, don't. So, Arizona would really like to have our asses handed to you, whenever you're ready.
I wonder how much play that comment of Brownbck's will get in the MSM - in light of the 'nookular option'?
No I don't.
Well, bear in mind that they're currently saying that it's only judicial nominations that are entitled to an up-or-down vote. They won't extend that to *everything else* until the nuclear option has been passed, and only when it suits them.
Journalists speaking the truth? They must be stopped. This is the USA, the land of pretend.
This is the USA, the land of pretend.
And Bush is the world leader.
the brits' advice wasn't something they just pulled out of their asses either -- it was actually lessons learned from their years of occupation of northern ireland.
And Eli's puns are funny.
Why do we support our troops?
Why do we believe our elected leaders?
Are we the only ones who don't know the level of contempt the rest of the world hold us in?
And Eli's puns are funny.
Continuing the "land of pretend" theme, I see...
I've got a quick question. Does anyone know when the Democratic radio address is released and does anyone know where I can listen to it when it is released? Thanks.

As much as I'd like to help out Arizona with their wild ass problem, right now a good chunk of my money is being used to support a lot of crazy asses in Washington.
Well, thanks anyway.
I wonder if NTodd would like a nice, cuddly, feral burro.
NTodd just emailed me to say that yes, he would like a feral burro. Ship it to him. C.O.D.

Now, how about Holden? Two, d'you think? More?
I wonder if NTodd would like a nice, cuddly, feral burro.
You bet your ass he would!
brownback's stem cell filibuster comments don't even make any sense. does he even understand how the senate works?
The "feraler the better," that's what Holden was telling me last night about burros.
P.S. CHIMPEACH.
Actually, England learned about occupying Iraq the hard way-they've been there, done that, until they got kicked out in the 1920's.
Soon we can call NTodd and Holden "The Ferally Brothers"

Ô¿Ô - well, on the same page of the paper the AZ Humane Society wants somebody to adopt a 110lb, 11month old Great Dane 'puppy' and they say he's 'partially' housebroken. Burros are as smart as puppies, so probably.

does brownback believe that he can filibuster a bill by himself? if there were enough republicans to organize a filibuster against the bill it would never come up in the first place. does he believe the democrats would filibuster with him?
No GWPDA, that's the movie they are showing on the Fox News channel.

Oh, I should get out the DVD a reader got me off my wish list. Still haven't watched the whole damned thing yet.
Here's hoping Ms. Foley tells them to suck it. What disgusted me about the Eason Jordan sitch was not that people were calling for his head but that instead of telling them to go blow, he acquiesced and went away.
Nutballs have every right to call and complain (up to the point of death threats, then you call the cops). She has every right to tell them to STFU and I hope she has bigger balls than Mr. Jordan did and says exactly that.
These wingnut mobs only have power because we give it to them in the misguided belief it will make them nicer to us the next time around. Fuck 'em.
A.
Whoops - wrong atriot. Thers needs the feral burros, not Holden.
But Holden could use them as playmates for the sparklepony.
i think republican politicians have been advised to release statements with the word "filibuster" in them, regardless of whether it makes any sense or not.
Probably slow enough to play Madden 2005 and keep up, but not slow enough for MVP Baseball...
I feel your pain Eli.

Uh, yeah, but a burro is an herbivore. Carnivores tend to deposit shit and piss at particular spots to mark territory, so housebreaking them involves persuading them that the particular spots to use are the ones convenient for us. Herbivores mostly take a dump when and where they get the urge. Also, they have to do it often - high-roughage diet, ya know.
Oh boy, I'll call the Wildlife people as soon as I finish washing the floors. Make sure to send me the guys' addresses okay? I'm sure C.O.D. will be fine.
Chickenhawks, form a single file.

I had a similar problem with the Dan Rather and Newsweek fiascoes. What I really wanted them to do was say, "Even if the memos/source is dodgy, we stand by the rest of the story, which is *not* invalidated by the sourcing error that we made, and apologize for."
Or something along those lines, basically, "Yes, we screwed up, but the basic story is still valid."
Too much to hope for, I know.

Arthur! Remember that nice letter you got the other day and we put in your scrapbook? Bring that to me, would you? Thanks!
newsweek's "lie" was information that came from the white house. the people who died were shot by the puppet government of afghanistan. why newsweek accepted any responsibility for any of that is a mystery.

Depends on the herbivore.
I'm gonna DVR The Battle of Algiers, if I can.
I'm going to mail these burros and then have a nap. I'm pretty sure I know how the Battle of Algiers comes out.
I wish I knew who said this--
I think what really creeps people out about fascism is that it allows the mob to oppress others, either inside or outside the state, willingly. The mob runs amok and controls itself and others in service of some ideal like national honor or virtue or glory. For the sake of these ideals, the mob votes away its freedoms. The state doesn't need to suppress dissent, at least initially, because the mob only too happily does it for itself. It really is like a democracy that has suddenly mutated and turned cancerous, its institutions rampant and without its usual curbs.
sez it all
D'oh! That was me, on Thers's computer. But the DVR is all set up, so I'm not a total technical idiot.
Eli, exactly. I'm planning on getting Mary Mapes' book as soon as I have a little money and reading it cover to cover.

You know, I'm really hating america today.
Seriously.
It's completely fucking embarrassing that this shit goes on and anyone who calls attention to it is labeled a traitor.
NTodd, Those Amazon lists really work?
Hey, did you moonbats know that miniature horses are now being trained to take the place of guide dogs for the blind? And yes, a mini-horse can be housebroken. Here's a little squib I found on the subject:
Housebreaking a horse
Housebreaking horses is similar to the training done with dogs. The Burleson’s Guide Horse prototype, Twinkie, was fully house trained in less than a week.
Janet Burleson explains that in working with the Miniatures she and Don realized that the horses can learn to empty themselves at appropriate times and can hold elimination for up to six hours. They can also develop a habit of eliminating in a specific area.
“There’s lots of difference between these small horses and the larger ones,” she says. While large horses tend to eliminate approximately every 45 minutes, Miniature Horses tend to eliminate every three to four hours. “It’s normal for them,” she says, and that makes house training for longer periods of five to six hours possible. The horses are taught to paw at a door or nicker when they need to eliminate.
Guide horses are so successfully housebroken that they commonly fly in the passenger cabin of commercial aircraft and can reliably go on trips for up to six hours.
May or may not be applicable to burros - then again, for most rationale people (i.e., non-moonbats), a burro is too large to be allowed indoors anyway.

eli, you're absolutely correct. it would have made a clear distinction for the idiot public, because now, all anybody remembers is that cbs apologized and dan rather was forced from the evening news.
Hey kent - before you build that corral, you might want to check with the local animal control- make sure you can keep feral animals in the backyard.
If not - you can always buy an acre or two outside of town for them.
Even if it's possible to housebreak equids, I think they belong outdoors. Hooves, floors.... Also it can get crowded enough with three cats on the bed.

Oh, after 2000 he just took the money and ran to Colorado, claiming it was because of their great school system...
Of course, he got shelled 'cause Colorado is death on pitchers, but he got out and is now with Atlanta, which is The Enemy.
Okay, the lefty reliever ("Mr. Koo") is now out of the game, having struck out all 3 Yankees that he faced. Not a bad day's work...

Karzai Wants More Control of U.S. Forces
By DANIEL COONEY
KABUL, Afghanistan - Hours before flying to Washington for talks with the President Bush, Afghan leader Hamid Karzai demanded greater control Saturday over American military operations in his country and called for vigorous punishment of any U.S. troops who mistreat prisoners.
He also said he wants the United States to hand over all Afghan prisoners still in U.S. custody.
(snip)
Like THAT's ever gonna happen.
Oh, and GWPDA, if you're around, met the most adorable 14 week-old Sharpei puppy this morning on the way to the gym. I was going to the gym, not the puppy. Y'know, just to clarify.

I am not a parody troll, or any kind of troll. I am a true-blue patriot who admires and believes in President Bush and detests liberalism, and I am here exercising my rights of free expression as an American citizen. However, someone who apparently thinks he's being clever is appropriating my handle and posting slightly over the top comments in an obvious effort to make me look foolish.

From experience, I got myself to animal control almost immediately, in search of some semblance of a corgi, which the vet advised because he said they have few medical problems.
Goddess presented me with a freespirit 8 year old larger Corgi type who just didn't like to stay home when she got the urge to explore, and evidently the owners went broke bailing her out and gave up.
When we got in the car, she laid her head on my lap in gratitude and we both sobbed all the way home. She missing her family, I missing my Jesse.
We need to start a letter campaign to Linda Foley explaining that she has our full support and should not relent.
So far I've seen several wingnut bloggers talk about how her statments are costing American lives. I have often commented on their blog "How? How are her comments costing American lives when as many 50 or more Amerians lose their lives every month in Iraq due to no fault of ours?
I would love to see if the numbers go down compared to last month 'after' she has brought this up.
In fact I would love to see how many people die in the first few weeks after her comments are out and see if they are an increase or decrease since the previous two or more weeks.
Besides. These people have never explained how it costs lives? Since most iraqis don't spend their times watching or reading U.S media, they don't have the power to do so since roaming blackouts occur daily. And when they do get some power they certainly aren't going to use it watching U.S news or browsing U.S blogs.

I have beautiful tall grass in my fenced in back yard. Many species just turned up naturally with all the natural fertilizer from my girls.

Anyway probably a burro is not permitted within city limits, but I think I could get away with a goat. Would anyone encouraged that, and if so, any recommendations on a friendly breed.
Hate to exert myself, by moving to the country.
Besides, my apartment isn't big enough for me and the burro.
Not a prob. The burro can have your place and you can move next door.
They make very good neighbors you know. Quiet, placid. Give them some grass and water and they're no trouble a'tall.j

I have a former neighbor who moved out and bought a house with a huge backyard. Into which she introduced a goat - then 4 more goats.

Dangerous things, those goats.

Some exhaust themselves (been there) trying. Others have good karma. I tend to agree with Magnolia.
OT for this thread, but...
I've given up all hope that there will ever be a war crimes tribunal for Bush, Rumsfeld and the rest. This is very, very bad for our country, because unless this regime and its followers are prosecuted, shamed and reviled universally for their anti-human and criminal activities their ilk will continue to feel victimized and they will actually thrive and remain on the course of manipulation and lies.
It won't matter much if we win majorities in '06, or even the White House in '08 -- the opposition party will continue on its course and we won't be able to straighten things out.
The right wing and the fundies and the rest of the enablers need to be throroughly trounced and forced back into their dank, dark spider holes, just as the Nazis were after the Nuremberg trials. Yes, I said the "N" word. It has to be that extreme.
Well, that's just my depressing thought for the day...

There's no statute of limitations on war crimes. All that's required is an administration willing to open up the records to a prosecutor who will pursue the charges.
The danger will be that the next Dem admin will just want to 'put it behind us'.
It's up to us to make sure that doesn't happen.

I hope you mean an *American*, hopefully bipartisan tribunal, because as satisfying as it would be to see them in The Hague, it would just make them all martrys and reinforce the myth that the whole world is against us and hates America.

No, you are not alone in your pessimism. Mrs DWD asked me today why I am so mad at the current policies and government of my country: I had nothing to say concrete at the moment; but on reflection, WHY ISN'T EVERYONE AS MAD AS I AM? What do they have to do to cross the line? Isn't lying, stealing, and killing on a monumental scale enough? What the fuck is wrong with us?

Eli -
I agree that a war crimes trial in this country would have a greater impact on the citizenry here. But it would be more fair and just if it were in The Hague, just because we have committed international crimes, against innocent people in other countries. But I wouldn't quibble, of course.
And Flory, I also agree that there is no statute of limitations; however, like you said, the dems, even with a majority, won't have the stomach for it.
History will take care of the neocons, for sure, but our national health won't be restored until we as a nation collectively shoulder the burden and take on the shame of what's been done in our name. Then we could start to rebuild, slowly, and with some humility.
This is what we deserve. But it won't happen.
milk the goat and make a little cheese. sounds easy enough..i think.

A bunch of no-rules thugs moved to North America to get away from order and civility of their home countries...this continues to this day. It's historical, and we're stuck with the thugs.

DWD -
I just can't get over the relative silence, here and abroad, regarding the NYT Afghantistan torture and murder story. I haven't heard the outrage.
For all the crimes we've committed in Iraq and Guantanamo, you'd better believe that it was a free-for-all in Afghanistan. I can't even imagine the horrors that were done to those people there. Right after 911 we had a real vengeance and twisted righteousness that was instilled in our soldiers and contractors and horrible things were done.
Remember that CIA contractor who was killed around the same time the kid from Northern CA was captured (the American Taliban)? I think his name was Mike Payne or something. And I remember hearing that he was a brutal guy and that he was targeted by the Afghanis specifically because of his brutality. But we didn't hear much about that.
EPT, you aren't funny. It's time someone told you.
When I say "we", include the media, they're waking up to the fact that they're under attack if they do their job.
But what are they going to do about it? Newsweek rolled over like a faithful dog. The NYT is busy morphing into the Evangelical Times. I didn't recognize the Atlantic the last time I picked it up.
I guess we could hold our head up in the world again, if we could throw this noose off. Can it happen within, or do we need to enlist the Scots? That's the question.
Seems this truth to power thing is getting us shot.

Res, I simply will not even bother listening to the Rethugs or their apologists - including the damned media. When they start spewing their lies: I turn it off as quickly as possible. One word is one too many. I do not want them to go away: I want them tried and convicted with their family and associates assets sold at auction to repay some of their malfeasance and hateful behavior.

I'm completely numb these days and strangely (or not so strangely) have been reading everything I can on quantum physics, unified fields, string theory and the like. Never having had a scientific bone in my body, this seemed odd at first (although many of these concepts are admittedly new-agey and theoretical - so far unmeasured).
But these areas of study are bigger than us, bigger than our planet and I can embrace infinity and philosophy without cringing. It gives me hope to ponder the grand designs.
Nubian goats. Sweetest little things in the world and, I've been told, not as prone to eat yucky weeds that make the milk taste funny. And I love the ears.
Sorry, but we used to have nubes. They are no less prone to eating yucky weeds than any others. The times we had to induce vomiting when they found some black cherry or laurel. And there are few experiences to match the results of an emetic given to a goat on a hot night in August during the height of fly season.
Goats are nice but they have to have a very well fenced pasture which is kept clean of the several poisonous plants. And there is the problem of what to do with the unwanted kids. A word of warning on that, we were approached by a family which wanted to buy one for a traditional holiday. Just seeing how they wanted to tie the poor thing up to bring it home was enough for us to cancel the sale.
Dairy animals will bring you to a bunch of issues that aren't very pleasant. We stopped keeping them, "Milicent" is the end of the line for our herd.

Never park your car around a bunch of goats.
Magnolia-they aren't as agressive as some of the other varieties. Worst butting I ever got (hush, Eli) was from a Swiss import. Any goat will butt if they feel cornered. Nubies make really good mommies and tend to be pretty gentle around small humans. My previous neighbor had one that adopted a stray terrier. The pup would hang out in the pens and sleep next to the goat, but would run off if any people came around. The nubie would protect him from the other, less tolerant goats.
Left rev - de nada. I think days like you're having is why all of us hang out here.
flory - goats are just gateway to llamas.
See magnolia - I'm telling ya. Dangerous they are, goats.
Goats do butt. Even when you've had the horns off, pretty bad in itself but letting them keep them is dangerous to you and any other animal. Goats are very strong and it's bad when they rear up on their hind legs and slam into you or smaller animals. Does butt as well as bucks.
Trust me, you do not want to keep a buck. Details upon request.
OK, the Nubies don't eat yucky stuff was not correct, according to EPTX.

...would like to see a needy Iraqi family move into the family compound in Kennebunkport for example.
Better: send Al Sharpton up to Kennebunkport along with the most popular of the black evangelical leaders who supported Bush (the guy who claims to have rolled Microsoft?). Have Sharpton hold a press conference saying that Kennebunkport excludes black Americans. Announce that the black evangelical leader will be relocating his church to Kennebunkport and that he is urging his congregation to follow. Kick off a nationwide fundraising drive to buy property in Kennebunkport for the church which will be conveniently situated down the road from the Bush family compound.

Well, I'm depressed enough for all of us.
serving as targets thanks to the republicans, the media, and their own spinelessness.
Life. Don't talk to me about life.
Officially, the Dems are in a tough position right now. They have ZERO ability to conduct a full investigation of what's happened.
How 'bout requiring a 2/3 majority to halt investigations requested by the minority Party? Or perhaps requiring investigations requested by vote of the Minority Caucus to go forward automatically, subject to a floor vote, which would bring the filibuster into play for the Minority (whoever that might be at the time)?
Superpower to Superpariah in one fucking generation
That's a dozzie dozzer.
The Dems can't assume power right now, even if voted in. The din of the la la la's will keep them from fixing things.
That's why I said, upthread, its up to US to make sure that doesn't happen.
We'll just need to be noisier and more assertive than the fundies and their enablers.

I'm totally fixated on black holes and their being in every galaxy.
It's like the big bang theory is right, but just short of reality. There must have been numerous big bangs, each resulting in a black hole which suck up and heat gasses- which creates planets.
Maybe the original bang was like a loaf of bread rising in the oven. Expanding everywhere at once.
Wild shit.

I'd love to keep a goat or two. Unfortunately, the city of Garland had issues with farm animals in the yards. Our Hispanic neighbors had one for a week, but then the relatives arrived and the grills were fired up.
There is a person down the street who had a giant turkey in the backyard for about a year. Waaaay to big to eat. It patrolled the yard with their half breed Sheperds and looked menacingly at everyone who came down the alley.
Always interesting to hear people talk about *upstate* New York. I always thought they meant Watertown, etc.

We just had out water treatment system recombobulated; turns out the iron content of our water has doubled over the last three years.

"The Battle of Algiers"
This film was being talked about here in the UK this week. One former Labour minister said that it is the story of Iraq war 2. It is what all occupying army’s in the end do.

Damn. Bobby Kennedy Jr. on AAR. Anyone listening?
I would like to see a needy Iraqi family move into the family compound in Kennebunkport for example.
Uproot them from their country? And who picks the family? And how do they support themselves in Kennebunkport?
To me that sounds like sentimentality that would do nothing toward establishing any structural change.

Right now you'd need to get the majority to agree to instigate either one. Ya think they would?

I have long thought that if the people responsible for the Iran Contra business had been prosecuted and put in jail, and shamed, we would not be where we are now, with many of the same people back in government, with the same contempt for the Constitution and the rights of others.
Iran-Contra taught them they could get away with it. Now we see the results.

I empathize with you guys but you sound like a bunch of crybabies. You're the minority party now so deal with it. Just because you've been voted out doesn't mean there is a dark conspiracy to impose a one-party system on the country. You lost, win it back. Democrats spent an awful long time in the majority and seem not to be able to handle it when the voters put them out. Grow up, already.

Tomorrow's Wapo is running a front page story from its ace reporter Walter Pincus on WMD before the war.
On Jan. 24, 2003, four days before President Bush delivered his State of the Union address presenting the case for war against Iraq, the National Security Council staff put out a call for new intelligence to bolster claims that Saddam Hussein possessed nuclear, chemical and biological weapons or programs.
The person receiving the request, Robert Walpole, then the national intelligence officer for strategic and nuclear programs, would later tell investigators that "the NSC believed the nuclear case was weak," according to a 500-page report released last year by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
[snip]
The question of prewar intelligence has been thrust back into the public eye with the disclosure of a secret British memo showing that, eight months before the March 2003 start of the war, a senior British intelligence official reported to Prime Minister Tony Blair that U.S. intelligence was being shaped to support a policy of invading Iraq.
[snip]
By late January 2003, the number of U.S. troops in the Persian Gulf area was approaching 150,000 and the invasion of Iraq was all but guaranteed. Neither Bush nor Powell reflected in their speeches the many doubts that had surfaced at that time about Iraq's weapons programs.

Some of that irony you were talking about?
We just had out water treatment system recombobulated; turns out the iron content of our water has doubled over the last three years.
When we bought our first house, we definitely had hard water when we lived outside of town (well water).
We also have well water here, and the Culligan system has not been getting rid of the iron as well as it did before.
Some here have gone to a new *magnet* type of system. It apparently works extremely well. If we were staying, I'd be looking into it, fer shure.
I would like to see a needy Iraqi family move into the family compound in Kennebunkport for example.
Textbook liberalism. All symbolism, no pragmatism.
FLG, can't you take a sample of the mold to a county cooperative extension or someplace at the university?

Fucking redneck maintenance idiot.
goood lord, the typos. My eyes must be more swollen than I thought.
what I would like to see is John Kerry, Hilary Clinton, Howard Dean, any of them, stand up to the Republicans like Galloway did. I dont know anything about the man, but I really liked the way he stood up for himself. I dont remember a time when the opposition party was so spineless--the Republicans were angry and vituperative in the early to mid sixties. I dont think every democrat is bought and paid for, but the ones that arent seem to be motivated by fear for their political lives.
I spent some time as a photojournalist/feature writer for a small weekly paper in NE Wyoming. The editor kept an iron fist over the content when it pertained to any of our advertisers who were easily three quarters of the town getting written about. I remember articles squashed because they were going to piss someone off. However, my weekly humor columns nearly always got printed, regardless of who they pissed off, because they were always "in fun." And only a few really stiff jerks wrote LTE compliaining about humor columns. There was one exception, which I won't go into right now.
We're a pretty amusing and snide bunch. Maybe, if the truth is going to speak to power, it is going to be through humor, such as the Daily Show, etc. "Hard news," has roled over and shown its soft underbelly. This corrupt regime may collapse because enough people laugh at it.

I think being "satisfied" with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid is a sure way to help the Republicans with their agenda.

We ended the war and kicked Nixon out because there was a draft and middle America was tired of tens of thousands of their sons coming home in body bags.

WoodyGuthriesGuitar,
IIRC, you used to teach educational theory-right? If I'm not confusing you with someone else (for which I applogise, if so), what do you remember about an educational program called "Spring Hill," or "Summer Hill," that was kind of popular in the 70's. I had two years of that experince in grade school (happiest years of my life) and as my own kids attended an AMI Montessori school, it brought back some recollections of the program. Do you know if "Spring (or Summer) Hill," was based on Montessori principles, and if so, what was the difference between the two. I'm just kind of interested. Its way off topic, so if you have anything you can tell me, feel free to e-mail me.
I might be remembering the name totally wrong, because my google attempts bring up nothing resembling what I remember.

Would an almost centralized bang shoot off chunks of super heavy material which would form black holes and those holes would suck up gases around them, heat em up and start forming planets, into a galaxy? all those galaxies spinning off from a central area?
Somehow with the quasars the black holes create, the planets are thrown clear of the black holes grasp. So, the faster the planets are spinning around the black hole, the most likely the black hole will be small and more planets will survive in a particular galaxy.

Eric Alterman had a good article lately about the box the Democrats are in; they are right on foreign, policy, but the public perceives them as weak, and prefers wrong but strong over right but weak.

Neither Out Far Nor In Deep
The people along the sand
All turn and look one way.
They turn their back on the land.

A ship keeps raising its hull;
The wetter ground like glass
Reflects a standing gull
The land may vary more;
But wherever the truth may be--
The water comes ashore,
And the people look at the sea.
They cannot look out far.
They cannot look in deep.

Unless, of course, Eli and NTodd went crazy while we were all asleep.
Yeah those bastards are like ravenous wolves, faces covered in shortcake, strawberries and cream cheese frosting.
Let's see if we can get Arthur a nailgun and keys to the fridge.
faces covered in shortcake, strawberries and cream cheese frosting.
oooh, no. not cream cheese frosting with shortcake.
creme fraiche. cream cheese is WAY too heavy.
BTW, NTodd and Eli--Monsieur's arthritis is really bad today. Which of you would be willing to take a shift with the Ramset of Virtue?
Is Randy Johnson the ugliest man in sports?

All evidence points to the idea that the trolls already are suffering in all the ways peculiar to mankind. And, as a result of their own efforts, will suffer much more rather than ever admit to reality.

Many thanks. I thought it was soemthing like that. Now I can google.
fake NTodd did get its picture in the album.
Well, to be fair, he did get a fake picture.
Unless, of course, Eli and NTodd went crazy while we were all asleep.
I am always the picture of sanity, so I don't know what you're talking about. Eli, however, is crazier than a fucking loon. And I have the pictures to prove it.
Eli--just how many slices of cake DID you take to bed with you???
I don't think I was around long enough to grab much of anything last night; Thursday, maybe...
WT,
The cream cheese frosting was from the Carrot Cake.
Aguatigre--agreed. Cream cheese frosting with strawberries is like wearing white after Labor Day. Or pumps with jeans.
Sallyh - Eli should do it. I'm still tired from my trip. Good news is Continental just delivered my luggage...
I'm outta here for the afternoon (evening to most folks), and won't be back until tomorrow.
Just so everyone knows I'm not being namestolen.
WT:
Its ok. The cream cheese was on the carrot cake.
I believe the strawberries had whipped cream.

Woo hoo NTodd! We're flying Continental to St. Thomas in 2 1/2 weeks...I feel so reassured...
Eli, you have the nailgun shift.

I'd namesteal you NTodd but I'm not funny.

au contraire. Here on the East Coast, many women sport jeans and obscenely high heeled shoes.
Do we need a nasty stupid bunch of media info babes to sit on TV spouting beneath the belt leftist propaganda?
they dont have to be stupid. but nasty works. Galloway wasnt stupid, and his responses by and large were above the belt, more's the pity. The whole frame of reference has changed, so a career accomodationist like Reid looks satisfactory. Pelosi started well, but what has she done lately? not to mention her daughter sucking up to Bush.

What is it with hockey players. They're either the ugliest people in the world or magnificant. There doesn't seem to be any in between.
We're flying Continental to St. Thomas in 2 1/2 weeks...I feel so reassured...
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I hate Continental with a passion that you just don't know. They treated my handicapped mom like absolute shit when she was heading over to Europe to visit my dad a few years back while he was on a month-long business trip, their in-flight service sucks, and any airline that claims Newark as a hub loses major style points.
I'd namesteal you NTodd but I'm not funny.
But I thot that was the whole point. That, and not being able to tell the diff between the real person and the troll.
flory - it's summer in the south, white is all right. The rules about white are mostly about shoes anyway - and why would anyone wear white shoes unless they were athletic shoes anyway?
Watertiger--that's scary. Perhaps you can inform me of current fashion faux pas, since in my case, if it's not at Target, I probably don't know what it is.
Flory--white is de rigeur this time of year

Isn't white the new black? Or do I have that backwards?
NTodd--I hate Continental myself, but I won't fly United, and that was my other choice. American was sold out on the days we needed to take.
sallyh, Jennifer - thanks. you've reassured me. I had visions of my mother's ghost haunting me all week.
Isn't white the new black? Or do I have that backwards?
No. Black is the new black. At least it is in New York.
Almost certainly the same freak who pretended to be Tena and said her cat had just died...
And the same sicko who pretended to be Vicki and said she was dying of cancer. This blight on humanity should have a tumor grow in its head.

I forgot about the Pat Boone exception to the white shoes rule.

From what I understand, Thursday is the new black.

Oops. Sorry for changing your cookies there, Thers....
NTodd--I hate Continental myself
Odd. Continental is my carrier of choice for European flights from SFO. They were the first to introduce the slightly larger seats, and more legroom, in coach. I've never had any trouble with them.
I'll give you the style points on Newark, tho.
The only thing I ever liked about United was before 9/11 they had a check-in gate at the Hertz counter at Dulles. So you could step checking in.
if youre as whitebread as Pat Boone it is permissible to wear white shoes on any occasion.
Actually, if you're as white as Pat Boone, I'm not sure you're allowed to appear in public before Memorial Day.
Jeffraham--and how is my boy Curly today? He was so cute in FVC.

The rules are simple: Read the following quote and try to identify who said it. The answer appears below, but don't cheat, make your guess before looking for the answer.
"'Well, slaying the filibuster dinosaur—and that is what I call it, a dinosaur, a relic of the ancient past—slaying the filibuster dinosaur has also been endorsed by papers around the country, including the New York Times, which just editorialized on this last Sunday; the USA Today; the Washington Post; the Fort Worth Star-Telegram; in my own State, the Des Moines Register, the Cedar Gazette, the Quad-City Times, and the Council Bluffs Non-Pareil.'
"This speaker believes that the Senate should slay the 'filibuster dinosaur.' So, too, do several editorial boards of national and regional newspapers. So, who was it? A senior Republican Senator? A partisan special interest group? Make your guess, and then click here for the answer...
"If you guessed that the speaker was U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), you win! [Congressional Record, January 4, 1995]"

DWD, thanks for the offer for Arthur to swim, but Arthur doesn't swim. When Arthur gets wet he turns into a chamois. He is the most permanently wet dog I have ever met, it takes him days to dry off. Putting him into water is like taking one of those flat French sponges Trader Joe's sells and watching it explode, wetly.

pat boone has a metal album. I think he was trying to rebrand himself, but it was jarring to people like myself, that like to use him as a stereotype. I dont think it did well.
We all know it's a good thing that august institutions like the New York Times adhere to time-honored standards of rigor and objectivity. As opposed to us bloggers, who are often suspected of being partisans. From that perspective, the "Editors' Note" in today's Times Corrections Section is a bit troubling:
An article on May 6 described a demonstration at Princeton University against the proposal by Bill Frist, the Senate majority leader and a Princeton graduate and board member, to bar filibusters on judicial nominees. The writer, a freelance contributor who is a Princeton student, did not disclose to The Times that before she was assigned the article, she had participated in the demonstration. The Times does not ordinarily allow its writers to cover events in which they have taken part, and the paper's staff and contributors are not permitted to join rallies or demonstrations on divisive issues. The writer says she was unaware of these policies.
Note how the demonstration in question was against a Republican, and the undisclosed demostrator is someone who shares the Times' editorial position.
I refuse to watch Scifi tonight. I understand there are no monsters in tonight's flick.

Actually, for the record, I hate all airlines. My ass has been in their seats way too many hundreds of thousands of miles. NO, I DON'T WANT ANY FUCKING PEANUTS--I WANT TO GET HOME SOMETIME THIS CENTURY!!!
Uh, sorry.
Has it been the consensus by those normally given to such activity that liveblogging bad SciFi movies on Saturday night is not in effect this week?
I can't imagine working up much enthusiasm for "Luke Perry rides giant drill to Center of Earth." Now, if there were mole people and giant scary bloodsucking nightscrawlers, that would be completely different. This just seems so.. nondescript.

GWPDA:

Never move to a humid climate.
NTodd--it depends. If I'm going on vacation, I'm fairly okay. If it's business travel, forget it. I want to get home and I want to get home NOW.
What's fun about the pasting troll is the hypocrisy. See, Frist is NOT a hypocrite for denouncing the filibuster when he'd gleefully participated in one! Magically, somehow.
So Democratic politicans are acting like... politicians. Oh well. Shocker. Frist, however, and the rest of the GOP jihadis, though, are deliberately and cynically trying to undermine the power of the legislative branch vis the executive.
Wankers.
105F now. Gug.
I never witnessed virga until I spent a week in July in Phoenix. Thot my students were pulling my leg until I saw it driving up Camelback. That was the same week I was taking the redeye home and the pilot came on telling us the good news: the temp had dropped below 120, so we could take off...

Do what I did: find yerself a spouse that loves to do it. I haven't cut grass in 14 years.

i'm too bloody tired from this week to go out tonight, so i may entertain the thought of Luke Perry doing his best Hilary Swank imitation.
Otherwise, it's one of the 150 movie channels, for me.
I am, however, going to the video store shortly. Anyone have a recommendation for something with monsters in it? Large fish and reptiles work as well.

"Humanoids from the Deep" if you can find it.
Humaniods emerge from the water to seek out and rape human females to procreate. Of course, they rip the women's blouses off first, and they are only attracted to women with very large breasts who are, naturally, braless, and who, of course, run screaming and bouncing from the humanoids.
If you can't find that, Evil Dead: Army of Darkness is always a lot of fun.

Heh. Rich:
Just since the election, we've witnessed the unmasking of Armstrong Williams and Jeff Gannon. We've learned - thanks to Newsweek's parent publication, The Washington Post - that the Pentagon went so far as to deliberately hide the circumstances of Pat Tillman's friendly-fire death from his own family for weeks, lest the truth mar the P.R. advantages to be reaped from his memorial service. Even as Scott McClellan instructs Newsweek on just what stories it should write to atone for its sins, a professional propagandist sits as chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting: Kenneth Tomlinson, who also runs the board supervising Voice of America and other government-run media outlets. He's been hard at work meddling in the journalism on NPR and PBS.
This steady drip of subterfuge and news manipulation increasingly tells a more compelling story than the old news that Newsweek so egregiously botched.
I never witnessed virga until I spent a week in July in Phoenix. Thot my students were pulling my leg until I saw it driving up Camelback. That was the same week I was taking the redeye home and the pilot came on telling us the good news: the temp had dropped below 120, so we could take off...
NTodd - ah, yes, that was a nice summer, that. The year we hit 122F and had to send to Riyadh for the correct documents that would allow planes to take off. According to the guys at Sky Harbor who made the call to the guys in Riyadh, there was much ribald laughter when we said, 'Hello, Riyadh? This is Phoenix Tower, and it's gotten a little bit warm here...." That day I was going to a job interview, driving my 1978 Aspen with the busted a/c and the red vinyl upholstery. If you drove really, really fast, with all the windows open, you didn't hurt yourself. 'Course, on either side of that day, were days of 120, 119 - and just to prove I could, I'd drive around town in that car, and wear shorts doing it.
Evil Dead: Army of Darkness is always a lot of fun.

A kid in a crane game
A three-year-old spends an hour inside machine
Published: Friday, May 20, 2005 The Truth, A1, By Tom Dolan
ELKHART -- James Manges II didn't win a prize. But he was one of them for a while.
Danielle Manges said her 3-year-old son Jimmy has been sick and sleeping odd hours so they went shopping at Wal-Mart, 175 W. C.R. 6, Thursday morning and finished before 3:30 a.m. While they waited for a cab, she let the boy play on some of the rides.
"He got mad because I didn't have enough money to get a toy out of the vending machine. It was the one with the claw" to grab prizes, she said.
"He threw his juice bottle because he got upset. I bent over to clean it and within two seconds he had climbed through the hole, into the chute and pushed the door shut so we couldn't get him out. He climbed up in the toys and was in there for a good hour."
Store employees didn't know what to do, she said.
"Nobody had a vending machine key, and they told me he was going to have to be in there until like 8 o'clock," she said. "The one guy they had come out was clueless. He thought we were going to sit there and wait until 8 o'clock when this vending machine guy came. I was like, 'You've got to be kidding me. I'm not going to let my son sit in there for four hours.'"
A Wal-Mart district supervisor declined comment later Thursday, saying they were still investigating the incident.
Danielle said workers tried to get the boy out but couldn't find the right key.
"They tried different keys they had and nothing worked. Eventually, we had to call the fire department to come get him out."
..."I was like, he went to all that trouble to get a toy and they didn't give him a toy," his mother said.
Hail to the King, baby. Any flick with chainsaws, medieval castles, fighting skeletons, Embeth Davidtz and quotes The Day the Earth Stood Still ranks high in the pantheon of classics.

Um, yeah, like, she shouldn't, like have to actually deal with her kid for , like, a moment, like, should she? Far better to, like, shove some toy in his, like, hand, so that, like, she doesn't like, actually have to explain to him why crawling into, like, vending machines, is a no-no.

Get your prioraties straight, man. You're either With Drinking Liberally or you're against it. We had a great time. Sorry you missed us, too.
Sorry -- was away for a while, talking to da landlord, and compiling the DVD and CD orders (which, after PayPal's cut, amounted to over $170 -- thanks, namestealing asshat!). There were also a couple of donations, for which the donors will receive Gift Certificates to AmTrib Video.
Thank you again, Atriots. Y'all are awesome.

love it - Bush spoke at Calvin College in Grand Rapids (Vicki's mentioned this), and if you wanted to know the difference between Bush opponents and Bush supporters, keep reading:
Some graduating students wore buttons that said "God is not a Democrat or a Republican."
A few dozen protesters gathered outside, carrying signs that read, "Conservatives and moderates reject extremism" and "Thou shalt not torture."
But there were also many Bush supporters, with placards that said, "We love Bush" and "Cutie pie."

Oh, and that certain someone who's derby party you went to with the cookies... is his first name Tom? And is he a native of our fair town?
If anyone wants a laugh check out the hunk of shit site that track-backed this post.

Watching Left Wing Journalist So You Don't Have To
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
the people HERE have functioning minds, although my typing might not indicate it.
"Cutie pie"? WTF???
Waht did we do to deserve such a shut-out?
I don't know what *you* did, anyway.
But there were also many Bush supporters, with placards that said, "We love Bush" and "Cutie pie."
Cutie pie?????
Excuse me. I have to go vomit up my dinner now.
The Dude abides,
Oh, and that certain someone who's derby party you went to with the cookies... is his first name Tom? And is he a native of our fair town?
Yes and Yes. Do you know Tom? He is HIGHlarious and quite the cook. Heh.
President cutie pie? Hmm, I guess there isn't anything cuter than a barely labile chimpwitted fascist doing his best to fuck over our beautiful country.
I wonder if NTodd would like a nice, cuddly, feral burro.
You bet your ass he would!
Bet he's an acolyte of "Horsey" Horsley. So don't get PETA down on our necks for being an accomplish to such abuse.
Cheers,

Ummm, ooops. Confusing the good guys with the bad. Thinking of "ted"/"tbrosz" types. My sincere apologies, NTodd.
Sorry,
Forgive me if this has been mentioned, but we're all aware that there's another SciFi original film on tonight, aren't we? Descent, starring Luke Perry and Michael Dorn (Worf). Tag line: "hen the world goes up in flames, they have nowhere to go but down."
A few dozen protesters gathered outside, carrying signs that read, "Conservatives and moderates reject extremism" and "Thou shalt not torture." - watertiger
Good for them!
Vic:
Ms. Dude worked with a Tom and same last name but I believe he was from Ohio originally, so its not the same guy. I thought the name sounded really familiar is why I asked. But from the description of the party, I missed a lot of HIGHjinx apparently...
Cutie pie?????
I am cute, but I may have to change my name.
Nah. I had it first.
Fucking retards. He's a coke-addled, shit-for-brains embarrassment.
Night, all. Sweet dreams.
I'm game, Mary, but I don't think there's as much enthusiasm for the liveblogging if there aren't any monsters.
Or a dedicated thread, for that matter.
Good night, pie. We know who the real cutie pie is, don't worry.
Oh, and for those of you that missed it, NTodd whined until I babyblogged this morning.
Yes, well, Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, TCM, about five minutes, Gaslight.....
Dinner? One short can Hills gourmet chicken, one short can Hills gourmet beef, handful of leftover Swedish brisket, French cut green beans, a little cheese. Now, that's home cooking.
watertiger -- When a problem comes along, you must Swiff it! -Jeffraham Prestonian
Mentioned last thread I got my Devo (et al.) tickets this morning. I'm expecting a Freedom of Choice encore, unless it gets co-opted for a Trojan ad.
BTW: Gaslight on TCM right now! It's a political allegory - just think Bush=Boyer and the US=Bergman.
Tag line: "when the world goes up in flames, they have nowhere to go but down."
That why Ms. Dude is always starting fires?
From res' NYT link:
"Investigators initially advised closing the case of two deaths at Bagram, Afghanistan, without bringing any criminal charges.
• Brutal Details of 2 Afghan Inmates' Deaths
• Karzai Demands Custody of Afghan Prisoners"
But hey, we're pullin' out all the stops to find out who leaked the photo of Saddam in his underwear. No stone left unturned!
Sallyh: Jeffraham--and how is my boy Curly today? He was so cute in FVC.
He's been fine as frog hair -- alternating between sleeping on the dirty clothes pile, and/or the crazy green checkerboard chair, with the occasional brief venture onto the balcony for a rail ride.
Hey, now that he's vulnerable to mosquitos, do I need to get him some anti-parasitic drugs?

Dunno, Eli. I feel guilty hijacking a thread, I have to confess. Where's Echidne to put us at the kid's table and keep us out of everybody's way?
Catch up the slow kids who've only been making guerilla-style visits today: that Jeffraham thing last night was a troll in the mode of the "Vicki has cancer" troll?
there are clean sheets upon which to discuss Luke Perry. I'm listening to The Abysmal right now...
Yes, Dude Abides. She's trying to get you to go down. As a loving wife myself, let me assure you: you can't go wrong. Take the hint.
Just finished the milling attachment, well lets just say it would have been finished if I had done some measuring
without my head up my ass.
anyway off to talk to a man about a dog, wink wink.
laters, moonbats

"When the world goes up in flames, they have nowhere to go but down."
Personally, I suggest that when the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.
