Somehow Americans drew that conclusion all on their own!
Pretty amazing when you consider what a bunch of pinhead morons the american public is.
Hey, George - YOU broke it - YOU fix it!
When I first saw that poll, I had to laugh. I couldn't believe anyone could consider blaming Hussein for "provoking the war." But I guess it goes hand-in-hand with people thinking he had something to do with 9/11.
Hi, guys!
Wow. Well, I guess that would explain why they're lashing out at half of America.
The tide is turning...
na, na... na, na...
Fuck you Bush!
When I first saw that poll, I had to laugh. I couldn't believe anyone could consider blaming Hussein for "provoking the war."
He didn't look like someone who was disarming.
Hang on, how the fuck could anyone be so stupid as to think that Saddam provoked the war?
This isn't 'stunning'. What's stunning is that anyone at all thinks that Saddam provoked the war and Bush didn't.
Does that mean the wrong guy is going to trial just before the mid-term Congressional elections?
The repukes will so get all the pole they can swallow.
After 9/11 conservatives prepared for war alright- with Iraq. People now see that.
Wolcott! You so crazy!
Oooooooooooooooooo noooooooooooooooooo!
What's stunning is that anyone at all thinks that Saddam provoked the war and Bush didn't.
jeez louise, you've got Faux-watching yahoos out there who're convinced Saddam was flying all four planes personally on 9/11.

Wait a minute, I thought we went to war because Bill Clinton stole the w's from the White House keyboards...
I've always been blaming Bush for the he started in April, 2003.
We can try more than one at a time...
There's a whole group of people here in the US could give Saddam a little company. No time like now, I say!
I've said it before, but it behooves
repeating:
As a New Yorker, the lower Bush's
poll numbers get the more I get
nervous about something going
kaboom real loudly.
Short of another major terrorist

Well, steve, if America would just sit down and have a beer with him... errr.. nothin...
Listen to Wolcott: . . . there's no "Michael Moore Left" except as a figment of the right's imagination. Ditto the "famous 'Unholy Alliance,'" which sounds like something Michael Ledeen and David Horowitz dreamed up after passing out in the sauna together.
Ha!
if America would just sit down and have a beer with him... errr.. nothin...
Maybe he could buy the world some, er...a coke and teach us all to sing in perfect harmony?
any more news about cheney? is the vile old bastard finally dead?

There's always a chance the twins will do an FHM spread and this will make people feel sorry for Dear Leader.
Naw. Fuck him. He spawned them, it's his problem.

This is why it is vitally important to get the word out that Bush is *soft* on terror, and point out all the areas where he's left us vulnerable *before* there's another attack.
If we can get the idea into people's heads that the Republicans are putting corporate interests ahead of homeland security before something terrible happens, then there's at least a chance they could be held accountable if the next attack exploits one of the vulnerabilities the Democrats were screaming about.
Unfortunately, a cooperative media is probably necessary, to remind people after the fact - if the Democrats try to do it themselves they'll be crucified for "politicizing" the tragedy at a time when we all need to pull together and support the preznit.
Whoa -- what about Cheney?
But the press reports
Saddam says, "No," to Fruit Loops
not our, "No!" to Bush
The tide of popular opinion turning against the war is washing away walls we didn't even know were there.
I think you mean walls that the MSM didn't want us to know about.
NTodd - you better go lighten up your avatar, as long as A. doesn't want to expand the canvas.....
my thought from the beggining was saddam could have showed up with his dick in his hand for a peace offering, but ole george was taking him out.
i imagine there was more than one reason for this colossal blunder, but a big part of it was political. a very bad move, perhaps now the chickens come home to roost.
yet, the damage has all been done.
i keep hearing people talk impeachment. i would just hope there was a real chance of that, combined with criminal prosecution.
If we can get the idea into people's heads that the Republicans are putting corporate interests ahead of homeland security before something terrible happens, then there's at least a chance they could be held accountable if the next attack exploits one of the vulnerabilities the Democrats were screaming about.
Won't work. Remember, talking about a problem is the problem. Don't talk about it? No problem!
any more news about cheney? is the vile old bastard finally dead?
I kinda like the idea of W. wandering around aimlessly with a dazed look on his face (well, more than usual) without someone to tell him what to do. But I don't think we'll see that unless Rove kicks it, which is kind of a pleasing thought in itself...
NTodd - you better go lighten up your avatar, as long as A. doesn't want to expand the canvas.....

Cheney's resort comment rebuked
Guantánamo prisoners 'living in tropics' says US vice-president
Jamie Wilson in Washington
Saturday June 25, 2005
The Guardian
The American vice-president, Dick Cheney, provoked fresh uproar over Guantánamo Bay yesterday after he claimed that prisoners held by the US there were "living in the tropics" and had been given everything they could possibly want.
His comments, the latest attempt by leading Republicans to portray the prison at the US base in Cuba as something of a holiday camp, came as evidence emerged that military doctors have helped interrogators by advising them how to increase stress levels and exploit the fears of the detainees.
A UN team that has been repeatedly denied access to the detainees also claimed it had credible evidence of torture at the camp, where more than 500 Muslim men are held without charge or trial.
What's stunning is that anyone at all thinks Saddam was responsible. Bizarre...
Nevermind.
You said it.
wow, looks like the afternoon shift has arrived en masse! Hey folks, good to see ya!
Like tena, I'm keeping a wary eye on the dark clouds gathering around the mountains. Hearing rumbles of thunder too, damnit. Yesterday I blew out my back working too long and too hard in the yard, spent over an hour using soap-based pesticides on my flourishing sunflowers and other plantlings. And now it's going to rain and wash off the protection. Damn.
Steve Simels ought to be scared. The first choice would inciting something in Iran, Syria, or North Korea. But soldiers being killed in Iraq can't fight in another theater. So where's the world's theater capitol? You guessed it.
Eli.
Well, of course that's the
big unknowable.
When the next major terrorist
attack happens -- and I'd lay
money it will be before the 06
elections -- how will the
American people respond.
Will they
A) react with fury toward to Bush
and the Republicans for having
left us vulnerable (fool me once,
and all that)
or
B)cower in fear and willingly
let Bush use the Constitution for
toilet paper (suspending elections,
and stuff)
I frankly don't know which....

Isn't that the height of stupidity/cluelessness/hubris?

Bubble...bubble...bubble...

GWPDA - I've been ranting with my family and friends about that "tropics" remark since last night. Dick has his own little cubicle all reserved in hell, the vicious slimy motherfucker. When he does finally go, the "body" will vanish, leaving only a putrid green puff of greasy smoke.
What's stunning is that anyone at all thinks Saddam was responsible.
Given the tsunami of lies and misinformation that flowed from the White House, and the fact that the media and everyone in Congress just let it happen, it's not that stunning. If you were just relying on your daily newspaper and CNN for info, you might well have thought that Saddam was in league with al Qaeda, that he was on the brink of developing nukes, etc, etc.
And if you didn't know much about Iraq and the ME, you might have believed Cheney and Rumsfeld when they said the war would be quick and easy.
I wish I could link it, but the local redneck daily is very slow to update their homepage.
This morning I about choked when I read the most resolutely pro-Bush / thinks-Dems-are-wacko op-ed guy writing an obit for a local soldier, killed in action.
He didn't come right out and condemn the war, but he DID list all the reasons we've been given for being in Iraq, and then he admitted that he didn't really know any more which one to believe.
Yes, the tide's turned.
Wolcott -- Carrie the Musical. Oh, god, I'm weeping with laughter . . .
Goddamn I love this day!
People are finally waking up, we're getting more rain than we know what to do with - always a good thing when there's been a drought. It's a great damn weekend so far.
Fuck Bush - I hope this means that we take the majority back in '06, and it looks a little more possible every day lately.

I find myself thinking often of the last line from "Meet John Doe": "There's your answer, Norton -- the people! Let's see you beat that!"
Bush provoked the War for Iraq? Oh. I thought he was just executing the official policy of the Government of the United States: regime change, as signed off on by Bill Clinton.
Hang on, how the fuck could anyone be so stupid as to think that Saddam provoked the war?
right after 9/11 i saw a cent. fl. redneck with a giant stars and bars flapping from the back bed of his black F150, as he drove past, spray painted in white on the tail gate was 'Attack Iraq'. my first thought, WTF, my second thought, if they wanted to, they could. bastards.
aw, man, I missed the pecan waffles. I'll take a slice of cherry pie - is that fresh whipped cream I see on the counter? Just the perfect breakfast on a day like this.

White House starts search for new justice
By Joseph Curl
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
June 24, 2005
A small group of senior White House and administration officials has quietly interviewed some of the top candidates for any Supreme Court vacancy, said Republican sources with close ties to the White House.
The senior officials are said to include Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, who has been mentioned as a Supreme Court candidate; White House Counsel Harriet Miers, the president's longtime adviser and former personal attorney; White House Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr.; and senior adviser Karl Rove.
No one in the administration would confirm or deny officially that top candidates had been interviewed. Nobody in Mr. Gonzales' office would comment, either.
The Chicago Tribune, citing "a senior administration official," reported Wednesday that the senior officials who interviewed the candidates had "briefed President Bush, but the president has not made a decision, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity."
The paper also said the senior officials "are not ranking the contenders or making recommendations to the president because they are 'serious about being respectful to the chief [justice],' the official said."
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said again yesterday that "there's no vacancy that exists at this point."
However, the Christian Legal Society has been asked to provide its recommendations for a replacement for Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, 80, who has thyroid cancer. The group complied.
I am going to channel Senator Durbin here. I have made some minor changes to an article in this morning's paper about the election in Iran. With these changes, it still reads well and true.
Of more concern to ... [the European Union], which is in negotiations with [the United States] over its nuclear program, is [George Bush's] fiercely nationalist approach to foreign policy. While the election might not fundamentally change the country's direction, which is set by the clerics who have final say over government actions, it could undermine any chance of a reconciliation with the [European Union], as well as complicate the nuclear talks.
As the new president... [George Bush] will ... substitute his conservative view on foreign policy for those of the reformers, who have lost their seat at the table.
[Brussels], responding to [Bush's] victory, repeated concerns expressed by [French President Jacques Chriac] over the legitimacy of voting in [the United States], noting that "there were many allegations of election fraud and interference."
"We continue to stand by those who call for greater freedom for the [American] people," said Maria Tamburri, a [EU] spokeswoman.
NMRed--it is. And since NTodd doesn't like cherry pie, there's plenty.
Toby Petzold, do you realize how lame you sound?
Bush was the preznit. He didn't have to do anything he didn't want to: Kyota Treaty, environmental regs, etc.
Stop being ridiculous.
I'm not blaming Clinton. I approve of his approval of that policy.
So just who the hell is Billy Graham (or his son) fucking at CNN? This never-ending coverage of his "Last Crusade" is really cutting into their Missing White Woman time (thankfully, they still have time to break in with such important news as "deadly shark attack in Florida!").
And I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but I'm just gonna say it and let the chips fall where they may: Fredericka Whitfield is hot!
Ba'al--works perfectly well, and is accurate in its interpretation.
Somebody probably pointed this out above, but the interesting thing about this poll is that when it first started tracking, Americans blamed Saddam 3-to-1.
This latest poll is the first time more Americans have blamed Bush.
So SOMETHING is happening out there . . .
The senior officials are said to include Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, who has been mentioned as a Supreme Court candidate; White House Counsel Harriet Miers, the president's longtime adviser and former personal attorney; White House Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr.; and senior adviser Karl Rove.
Justice ROVE??? GAAAHHH!!!!
Anyway, I don't see it happening. He'd have to give up too much power.
GWPDA - yeah, I just looked at the doppler myself. Damn. I forgot to double check the weather prediction on Friday morning, and this storm mass looks pretty damn serious.
I gotta get DSL and airport express so I can still surf and post when these storms come in.
It's been so wet this year, but I still refuse to complain about rain ruining my plans, don't want to piss off the Rain Gods. There's even a patch of snow visible on Mt. Baldy - the last few years it was gone by Beltane.
I'm not blaming Clinton. I approve of his approval of that policy.
Talk is cheap.
Actions, OTOH...

When he heads for hell, we can just tell him he's going to be in a 'desert climate.'

comments on.
IMHO.

Regime change doesn't imply an illegal invasion.
Oh, good, the cowardly motherfucking moronic brownshirt chickenhawk is back.
Enlisted yet, coward? Why not???
BRAAAAAAAWWWWKKK!!! BRRRRAAAAWWWWWWWWKKKKKK!!!
Cluck cluck cluck...
thankfully, they still have time to break in with such important news as "deadly shark attack in Florida!"
Shark attack! Now there's some action!
Wait a minute. Karl Rove never graduated from college. WTF???
Pie, the reason why we aren't going to abide by Kyoto is because the Chinese won't do it, either.
That's a vastly more important problem than you realize, apparently.
Next thing you know, then'll start blaming me for all the problems.
-
Cheney actually has one of those automatic implanted defibrillators that have short circuits in them causing them to go off unexpectedly.
We can always hope! And if it does go off, I hope it makes him shit his pants at a state dinner or on national tv.

Hi guys. sex troll here. I'm taking an opinion troll, uh, I mean poll.
Here's the question:
"If I were having sex with sex troll, the experience would be worth:

c) $50.00
d) Some scraps of lint and a bucket of used Mr. Clean solution."
Thanks, from sex troll and sex troll industries.
You lead by example, not by whining about the other guys.
Wrong. You lead by telling everyone what a strong and decisive leader you are. That's the only way they'll ever respect you.
Toby = Mr. Jones. For the life of me I don't understand why folks engage with him.

asked him to stop it a zillion times,

me out, or something.
I just don't know what to do.

hey toby good bud did ya' manage to get the ambulance driver?
You lead by telling everyone what a strong and decisive leader you are.
It's not working. Big talker (when anyone actually gets to listen to his crap).
Worst. President. Ever.
Speaking of hate and ignorance:
Who called a 9/11 widow a "prostitute"?
Who called the marines "cowards"?
Someone who is ignorant and filled with hate, I'm guessing...
Wrong. You lead by telling everyone what a strong and decisive leader you are.
Leading is hard, incredibly hard. I think about it every single day. And it's just, it's hard. And I think about it, what it takes to be a leadership. I think about every day, every single day. And it's hard.
"Projection. It's what's for dinner."
I thought it was sirloin marinated in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, hot chiles and sesame oil.

Maybe that had something to do with him not having anything to disarm?
"You lead by example, not by whining about the other guys."
Wrong. You lead by telling everyone what a strong and decisive leader you are.
You're both wrong. You lead by dressing up in a flight suit you have no business being in, stuffing the crotch with tissue paper, and ignore the obvious reality unfolding around you in an attempt to generate a cheap, opportunistic "photo op" for your re-election campaign.

Todd, your terms are wrong. I said Breirweiser is a 9/11 prostitute, not a whore. And the lie that that worthless turd woot keeps spreading about me calling the Marines cowards is something that others here have picked up and carried forward. It's sort of interesting, though, how gullible y'all are.
That Bush is a fucking TROOPER.
I mean, seriously, what other President to started a unnecessary war based on lies, that got almost 2,000 of our best men and women killed, and about 100,000 innocent Iraqis killed, and that completely erased our huge surplus and put us in the fucking red till our grandkids are old, and destroyed our good standing in the world community, would take the TIME and EFFORT to think about it EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY??
I mean, by God, this guy is special.
That's leadership, baby.
Way to go, Bush.
Sorry: Breitweiser.

No, they are all a bunch of vulture scumbags. Fuck them all with a rusty chainsaw. Lawyers are shit in a silk stocking.
tena - yes, we are blessed with bountiful rains this year, and it looks and sounds like we'll be getting more within the next hour. The monsoons usually don't start until after the 4th, and strong storms usually don't pop up until much later in the afternoon, just in time to cool off the land for a refreshing evening spent on the patio. It's kinda like "Camelot".
The clouds gathering around the Sangres look pretty serious, the rumbling is getting louder, and I'd better go hobble around and put out the buckets and tarps under the two known leaks in the roof that drip directly on the bed and over grandma's cherrywood dresser. Sigh. Renovation plans continue to evolve, but we're up against the height restrictions which means some serious re-jiggling of the plans for a pitched pro-panel roof. Right now it look like it will be late September before the work actually begins. So I'll be spending another monsoon season checking rooms everytime it rains, draping tarps over the bookcases and emptying buckets for the next several months.
But I'm not complaining, Rain Gods, no, really, no complaints at all......

Rummy, with the most sophisticated war machine ever, and a blank check, is losing a war against a third rate backwater with NO army.

George Bush is a 9/11 prostitute who should be ashamed of how he's capitalizing on 3,000 dead Americans. But he's not. Which makes him the perfect Repuglican figurehead.
This is from a movie review Kristen Breitweiser wrote for Salon:
It is understandable that so little time is actually devoted to the president's true actions on the morning of 9/11. Because to show the entire 23 minutes from 9:03 to 9:25 a.m., when President Bush, in reality, remained seated and listening to "second grade story-hour" while people like my husband were burning alive inside the World Trade Center towers, would run counter to Karl Rove's art direction and grand vision.

Here I always thought an octoroon was one of them fancy biskets you libiruls had with yer lattes.
NOUN: A person whose ancestry is one-eighth Black.
The terms mulatto, quadroon, and octoroon originated with the racial policies of European colonizers in the Americas, especially the Spanish. Because civil rights and responsibilities were based directly on the degree of European blood that a person had, such classifications were highly elaborated, and minor distinctions in ancestry were carefully recorded. While these terms have highly precise definitions, in actual practice they were often used based on impressions of skin color rather than definite knowledge of ancestry.
When the comments leave the original topic so far behind, it is a sign that even the trolls agree. And indeed, there is no question who provoked the War in Iraq. The problem is that whenever you ask him for an exit strategy, he changes the subject to talk about an exit timetable. Pathological liar.

Did you see the latest on Walker Railey?
01:32 PM CDT on Saturday, June 25, 2005
By PETE SLOVER / The Dallas Morning News
GLENDALE, Calif. – In the 12 years since Walker Railey was acquitted of trying to strangle his wife, he had built a new life of civic and professional prominence in Southern California. Even in tragedy, friends and colleagues had rallied around him after his second wife recently died of liver failure.
Then, on Friday, the past came knocking at Dr. Railey’s door. The respected downtown Los Angeles homeless mission where he was recently appointed vice president announced that his employment, which began in 2000, was terminated.
The dismissal came after his bosses learned that Lucy Papillon - the woman with whom Dr. Railey admitted having an affair before his first wife, Peggy, was attacked in 1987 - worked as a volunteer at the mission.

Well, it's generally considered plenty for an 8X10 (although the aspect ratio is way off). I just got a photo printer that goes up to 13X19, and one reviewer claimed he got a good 13X19 print from a 3-megapixel image (D70 is 6), although he crunched it through some smoothing or sharpening software first.
I have some 13X19 paper, so I'll be finding out for myself soon enough.

Thanks for that story on Railey. Now there is someone who really should have been pursued, like Jeb insists on pursuing Michael Schiavo.
Walker - for those who don't know - was a minister in Dallas who was having an affair with this woman who calls herself "Lucy Papillon."
Someone - i.e. Walker Railey - strangled his wife until she was unconscious. She now resides in a nursing home in a permanent vegetative state, cared for by her parents.
Walker was tried, but there wasn't sufficient evidence to convict him. He moved to California, where it appears karma is visiting him.

I hear you, Eli, but a few years' "executive experience" could put Herr Rove in line for the nomination in '08, and that just scares the crap out of me. OTOH, putting him "out front" like that could do a lot to expose him for the psychopath/sodiopath that he is. As I said, I'm torn...
spork_incident - in fact, I have a friend from Dallas whose family had a place over out of Creede. She and her brother, when they were in their early twenties, were hiking and found a herd of elk. They went back to their cabin. She stayed, he got his camera and went back up. And never came back down again, except when his body was carried down, finally.
He was taking pictures and stepped right off a cliff.

I can't shake the impression that we're finally separating into those who keep on drinking the Bush KoolAid and those who are beginning to refuse the cup.
But I'm a huge Philip K Dick fan, so perhaps when A Scanner Darkly finally hits the theaters, more people will understand what I mean when I say Substance D instead of KoolAid. (If you thought Star Wars or LOTR were a good metaphor for BushWorld, wait'll you see more of Dick's novels brought to the screen.)
Truth be told, CanD would be even more apt, but we'll just have to hope The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch will be next.

I imagine it's this degree of concentration that accounted for the number of tourists we had who fell into the Grand Canyon. Me, I say it's hard to ignore it - it's really, really big. But I guess if you're taking a picture of something important....

I think people have been WAY underestimating the increasing numbers of people who get their info from satellite radio (which carries NPR and at least two left-wing channels), public and independent broadcasts, and online blogs, broadcasts, plus access to far-flung press/opinion.
Put all that together with the fact that even Fox and CNN show visuals like Abu Ghraib, "insurgency" etc., and you have a critical mass. Hey, it wasn't just the Left which got the House to back down on cutting public broadcasting funding.

More than a few people have asked me: Who is the real Toby Petzold? Lately I've been telling them, "Just wait till the next issue of the Weekly Standard, which is going to include a Dewar's Profile ad featuring none other than."
Here's a sneak preview:
Dewar's Profile - Toby Petzold
Home: "Mom's letting me use her basement right now. Only temporary, of course."
Age: 38
Email: Neognostikos@hotmail.com
Marital Status: "Still haven't found the right girl yet. Some people accuse me of setting my standards too high, but I think secretly most of them only wish they'd looked before they leaped, the way I have."
Profession: Conservative Blogger, Patriot, CyberWarrior, WalMart Customer Service Associate
Hobby: Baiting Liberals
Last Book Read: "A Charge to Keep", ghost-written autobiography of George W. Bush. "Sometimes I feel a little guilty for reading the same book over and over, but what can I say? I literally worship the ground the man walks on, and I'm not ashamed to admit it."
Last Movie Viewed: "Plan Nine From Outer Space" "I may want to become a film director some day, and I figure it only makes sense to learn from the true masters."
Latest Accomplishment: "Got the White House to send me an 8x10 color photo of Jenna and Barbara Bush, that was autographed by both of them!"
Why I Do What I Do: "There's a war going on out there, a war for America's conscience, its heart and its soul. And I feel like I'm fighting on the front lines. It's dirty, dangerous, thankless work, but somebody's got to do it, right?"
Quote: "Sometimes the slings and arrows of liberal smartasses can be a lot more lethal and personally devastating than Improvised Explosive Devices. I just wish more people would recognize and acknowledge that."

RE: Lightening strikes and well-fed bears.
I have a book which is on constant loan amongst my friends.
Coping With America, a guide for British tourists to America.
A couplke of choice quotes:
"In America, the flora and fauna can kill you.:
"In America, the weather can kill you."
And not just in the places you'd expect the weather to kill you, either.
It's not all that hard to die from hypothermia on the Boston Common in the middle of August.
There are rattlesnakes in the Blue Hills Nature Reservation, only a few miles from where I sit typing this.
I'm a pretty experienced backpacking enthusiast. At least in my much younger years.
The White Mountains in New Hampshire always scared the hell out of me. The weather can change in an instant.
Even in the depths of summer, I always had sever thermal blankets in the rucksack, along with a tarp and some line.
More than once, I needed them in the White Mountains.
Every year, they carry off one or two bodies from the Whites of folks who wern't prepared for what can happen.

Let us not forget the lies. Lie #1: W has prevented more terrorist attacks-what about the anthrax? Lie #2: the war will last a few weeks, months at most. #3: W's "I'm a uniter, not a divider". #4: They'll greet us with candy and flowers. #5: Saddam had WMDs, including 5a: nukular capabilities, 5b: 500 liters of sarin, etc., 5c: biological weapons under the rosebush.
That's a brief start, anybody else?

GWPDA - well, when lightning is striking, the lowest point is the best. A gully beats a hilltop.
That's what I mean, Tena. For us, varying between 0 and about 500' above sea level, lowest becomes moot. So, with lightning, we either get indoors or we die. A dry wash? You can get a forty mph blast of water thru one of those in the course of five minutes and you're out of the game. Fortunately, most of the east and west sides of town are riddled with dry washes so you never have to be far from someplace deadly! Know your territory, know the risks. Don't decide at high noon in June that climbing Piestewa Peak is a swell idea - or at least not unless you have the money to pay for the rescue squad to airlift you to Good Samaritan.
Now, I'm going to go have a nice swim, and take my iced sauvignon blanc with me. Some things are riskier than others.
Chris - I hear ya. I drove up to Gunnison last September. The sun was shining here, but by the time I got to the Blue Mesa Reservoir, there was the most incredible snowstorm coming right at me. It was black as night and the snow was like a solid wall headed for me. Scared the shit out of me.
I drove on into Gunnison and ran my errands in the snow and then called Mr. Tena. I told him that if he didn't hear from me by 7:30 PM, to call the EMTs in Lake City and tell them I was somewhere on 149.
But I drove back out of the storm on the way back up here. A thermal blanket is a real good idea.

Yep, the troll is right. There is a huge difference in the two terms. The one he claims not to have intended seems to match what he says he really meant when he said it, though. So, you see, people, he's just too ignorant to grasp the nuance of language, and therefore should be ignored in any conversation where understanding is a necessary component of the discourse.

Toby may be gone by now, but..
when President Bush, in reality, remained seated and listening to "second grade story-hour" while people like my husband were burning alive inside the World Trade Center towers, would run counter to Karl Rove's art direction and grand vision.
Actually, I've been mulling this over for the past month, thinking, what REALLY went on that morning with the presnit?
The "proprietary atrocity" is Tobe's attempt at an intellectual way of describing the 9/11 theory that the government staged the disaster. His intellect, however, is two-dimensional as we all know. The fact that he's ugly, stupid, and nobody likes him is irrelevant here.
Bush sat with the schoolchildren stunned, composed himself, and started reading again. Toby implied that Rove would have made a true spectacle of this event if there was actually planning, placing the presnit in a higher-profile venue to maximize the hype needed for later... if the atrocity WAS proprietary, then the reason for Bush being in a school, I think, is because it is a neutral place where innocence is utmost. He was "out of the way" so to speak.
The real question is...Where was Darth Cheney that morning?
Bush just kept on reading "My Pet Goat", shocked and not knowing what to do. It's pretty evident that he knew it was coming, that the 11 warning countries whom he ignored were suddenly correct, and that he realized it that moment, and there was hell to pay.
Unka KKKarl took care of that...spun the incompetency of ignoring the intelligence into a reason to grab power instead.
Toby, keep dreaming, the America you want to live in is a dictatorship, not a democracy. Democracy is too civil for you. Best get back to your fantasies of torturing people and leave us alone.

"Coping With America"
I forget the author's name. But, as always, Google (and Amazon.co.uk) is your friend.
Other choice quotes:
"In America, you can have a telephone installed instantly, and it has nothing to do with the Post Office, either."
"All American paper money is the same size and color! Yet Americans seem to have no problems dealing with it."
If you can find a copy, it's a fun read and you learn a lot about how America is seen by the British.
Well, it's generally considered plenty for an 8X10 (although the aspect ratio is way off). I just got a photo printer that goes up to 13X19, and one reviewer claimed he got a good 13X19 print from a 3-megapixel image (D70 is 6), although he crunched it through some smoothing or sharpening software first.
Yup, 8x10ish, and I've found you can actually print at 200% without loss of quality. Glad to hear you're getting a larger-format printer. I'm looking at the HP 1300 and a coupla Epson models that are slick and will handle something like 19x24, plus can use glicee and archival quality inks and papers.
Spork, you see, but you do not observe!

NTodd: our family experience with HP computers has been mixed, to say the least, but I can tesify to the quality of their printers, even on handmade paper manually fed through the machine.
But by all means get someone with expertise to give you the full rundown on how they compare - it may be that Epson's a better bet for pro-grade photo-printing on a large scale. Certainly I've seen references to Epson printers used in publishing design depts.

I agonized over HP Photosmart 8750 vs. Canon i9900 vs. Epson R1800, and while I really liked the Epson, I was worried about the fact that its printheads have a tendency to clog, and if they clog badly enough, the entire printer becomes unusable. I ended up picking the HP because there was a broad consensus that it was the best for B&W printing, except possibly the Epson R2200, which didn't sound as strong for color - plus the printhead thing.
Epson models
pros use the epson, well at least that's my understanding. since your back, NTodd any thoughts on the cannon 20D vs. your camera vs. the finepix s3 (which is what i want, but slightly out of my price range).
fuck it, photography is becoming gay. plan B is to attempt going to soc. work school at 45 years of age. plan C is to attempt living in the rockies where with any luck i'll be struck by lightening. i don't even want to consider hypothermia, which i'm sure is excrutiatingly painful.
Thea - yeah, the Epsons are always tops. Some of my favorite (film) photogs use them. The HP 1300 is their attempt eat a bit of Epson's lunch, but that's an uphill battle.
Still, I've been very pleased with my 8400 and other HPs, so I might go that way. 'course, I also have an Epson, which was also good. It might just come down to price, unless I sell a lot more prints. Ahem.
since your back, NTodd any thoughts on the cannon 20D vs. your camera vs. the finepix s3 (which is what i want, but slightly out of my price range).

That is absolutely the worst misunderstanding of anything I've ever written here.
It is Breitweiser and her pimps in the Kerry-Edwards campaign and the DNC who think that the atrocities of 11 September 2001 belong to them. They think it's their property to exploit. Breitweiser became a shill for the campaign, spoke at the convention, and was a mover behind the Kean Commission.
Don't deceive yourself into thinking that it's the Republicans alone who exploited the events of that awful day.
Rove is right: some of the biggest names on the anti-Bush Left couldn't even bring themselves to support the War for Afghanistan. They wanted to puss out and issue indictments and try these subhumans at The Hague. Fuck that. The American people don't have to be told which party has the stuff to prosecute this war on the Islamofascists.
Thanks for the lesson, Emily. It so happens that trading on one's status as a widow for the purpose of advancing defeatism (i.e., the Kerry-Edwards campaign) is "unworthy."

Y'know, Toby, for the longest time I held off from flaming you. I thought, despite some of your views, you were a basically decent person. You jumped into this forum with some agreeable comments.

Toby sounds so guilty when he writes these things. Bombast being used to cover up the fear that events are outpacing him. Profanity as a means of puffing himself up. As a barometer of how things are going, his stubborn triumphalism is a reassuring sign that while they change excuses at the drop of a hat, they are sticking to the same failing game plan.
Rove is right: some of the biggest names on the anti-Bush Left couldn't even bring themselves to support the War for Afghanistan.
Uh, Tob, the Afghan War was nothing but a show-biz ploy for the Bush Boy Regime to generate the rah-rah bullshit.
The Taliban melted away and laid low as did the warlords that control that region. They are back now.
Not that it matters as the Bush Boy missed the perpetrator behind 9/11- Osama bin Forgotten. And to send in the Afghanis to get Osama instead of the Americans so that bin Forgotten could get away is god damn suspicious also.
Plus, it was Orville Faubus, not Bill Fulbright. Of course, you weren't a figment of your daddy's imagination at the time...

Actually, self-proclaimed liberals only accounted for 20% of the U.S. population in a recent poll (down from 23% in an earlier poll). Although many people may be coming to the realization that the war in Iraq was a terrible idea and may even be starting to hold Bush accountable, liberals have known this all along. After the next attack, they will be made examples of to keep the rest in line.
Sorry to sound so pessimistic, but I'm aghast to see how many would prefer to pick on Troll Toby than respond to my sincere question. (Although I did peruse the Vichy France book!) Thanks!
If you thought Star Wars or LOTR were a good metaphor for BushWorld, wait'll you see more of Dick's novels brought to the screen.
I've been a fan of Dick since the late 70s and have read nearly everything he's written -- and he was very prolific.
But it's somewhat limiting to call our current Dickian unreality Bushworld -- it's more like Right-Wingworld, and they've been hard at work creating it since the Eighties. It's a world where Ronnie Reagan was The Great Leader, Ronaldus Maximus, who singlehandedly brought down the Evil Empire and made America feel good about itself again. Meanwhile, many of those of us in the reality-based community had long been aware that the Soviet Union had been slowly crumbling away since at least the early 70s, maybe even since Kruschev's days. At home, people in the prime of life were dying like flies from AIDS, and we had a phony economic "boom" built on a foundation of massive debt, a base that collapsed like a house of cards in the late 80s-early 90s.
Then we elected a moderate, charismatic, pragmatic center-left pol named Bill Clinton as president, and the architects of Right-Wingworld worked 24/7 to convince us that he was a wild-eyed hard-line socialist whose corruption knew no limits and who would even murder his close friends in his unquenchable lust for power. (Talk about projection.) But as time went on, and as the economy improved as a result of Clinton's fiscally sound economic policies designed to repair the damage caused by 12 years of voodoo, more and more people tuned out the propaganda barrage and began thinking for themselves.
I gotta admit that I often have doubts about the American people's resistance to Right-Wingworld's 24/7 propaganda barrage, because it often does work (e.g., the runup to the Iraq War). So no one was more surprised than I was when the reaction to the release of Clinton's grand jury testimony about Monica was not plummeting approval ratings into the 20s but rather a spike into the 70s.
Bush and sobriety aren't two words I'd ever use in the same sentence unless I'd insert "lack of" somewhere between them.
Bush just kept on reading "My Pet Goat", shocked and not knowing what to do..........
in response to this I might suggest that reading 'My Pet Goat'was quite deliberate and bought some time allowing for the second ......
nah, impossible.
so this Islamofascist and this Christianfascist and this Jewishfascist walk into a bar right...
you fail to understand that many of us are serving our countries war on terror by coaching little league, volunteering at church, and praying for the wayward.
and jerking off to paris hilton videos.

Hell, 9-11 worked for the Repugs when Preznit Asshole's numbers dipped too low. Karl Rove is probably calling Osama right now!
I would imagine the result of the poll showing 60% of Americans oppose the Iraq illegal invasion is a result of this more than anything:
Baby boomers and their offspring, memories of another bs occupation, and the word Draft.
I know it works for me.
Just for the record: If any of you have ever worn a safety harness, it gives the same "Enhancing Effects" as Bush's jump suit did. You don't need to stuff anything in there: It makes all men look like Johnny Wadd. Think of it as the male version of a "pushup bra".
