They seem to have convinced themselves that Atrios is some kind of lefty Scrooge McDuck, swimming through his money bin full of ill-gotten spondulix and cackling at us mindless syncophants who push his party line.
It's always puzzled me that alt-weeklies have largely missed the blogging boat. They seemed to have all of the infrastructure in place to do the kind of local culture/arts/music/hipsters/politics/gossip/
happenings blogging which is essentially what they do anyway, only in print form.
Our local weekly, Seven Days, has had 2 bloggers for quite some time now. It is indeed a natural fit.
Could someone please teach Atrios how to write?!

I assume you can tell you live in a Red State when your local alt-weekly has a token conservative, as ours does.
Oh, and there's a letter in this past week's from someone who's convinced that "there's more religious tolerance at Gitmo than at any high school".
We grow 'em big and stupid down here.
Hmmm...I haven't checked for local alt/weekly bloggers, but I noticed for the first time that Pasadena Weekly is on-line, and it looks to be the complete edition.
Thanks, Atrios.

If America gets hit again by the terrorists we need to Nuke the entire middle east and do a 30 year occupation with a Marshall Plan. It's time for the bullshit to come to an end.

The jig is up with these attacks on innocent civilians. It's time to put Nukes in Iraq and bind ourselves to launch if the attacks continue. For every attack, they will lose a large chunk of their civilization. Starting with the Saudi oil fields.

BTW - Sorry I left earlier to work on newest creation. I just read the posts about faith vs. good works. One of Dobson's henchmen actually said that today's christianists were tired of all the do gooder stuff, and they wanted more action. So that's what they give em. Interesting stuff.
Londonist has some good but troubling reportage on the Stockwell shooting, and more to come by Monday, they promise. Keep your eyes peeled on that one.
ken - Your ideas are intriguing and I wish to subscribe to newsletter.
Starting with the Saudi oil fields.

Of course, Bush doesn't think anything through before he does it either, so I suppose there's a precedent.

But instead of actually examining 9/11 to stop it from occurring again, the US throws a bunch of bad things against the wall - searches, detentions, wars - and just sees what sticks.
Ok, cool, you can do that too.

From the Common Dreams article I linked to:

No smokin' in bars, either. What an unChristian idea.
What's weird with the searching thing is that they were up and running literally within hours of the announcement. And it was pretty well organized. I thought for sure I would be pulled over, being a middle aged white woman, just so they could claim not to be profiling. I wasn't. I don't know what I am going to do if pulled. Right now I am just hoping they leave me alone.
in the face of a threat
What threat?
Defend against whom?
Point them out to us. How 'bout the guy in London? He was a terrorist until it was discovered he wasn't one. After they shot him five times.
Too bad for him, I quess.
We should just nuke ourselves. That'd totally fuck up their plans. Operation Masada will be a catastophic success!

Show us a real threat and we'll defend ourselves.
Shadowy "Islamofascist" boogedymen aren't a real threat. And BTW, you might be looking at the chump in the White House and asking what he's doing to defend our etc.etc.

Less hassle.
Anyone that wouldn't vigorously defend their life, country, and property...
I'm defending my (and others') life, country and property by vigorously:
1) Supporting the swift and thorough punishment of traitors who compromise WMD anti-proliferation intelligence assets (particularly for petty partisan gains).
2) Protesting the fomenting of unnecessary wars that waste valuable human and financial resources, and in turn increase the likelihood of terrorism rather than reduce it.
The odds of being blown up by a terrorist's bomb on the subway is smaller than dying in a car accident. WMD proliferation, on the other hand, is a threat, one which the policies of the last five years have done nothing to reduce.
OT: The poor fellow shot dead in the Stockwell Underground station yesterday was:

2)Racially profiled
3)Executed in public by five bullets to the brain. (This is what the Israelis call the Kronos Operation--said to prevent detonation of suicide vest).

Hey Elaine:
Russell Baker had a column a while back. I paraphrase:
Tough Tony felt pretty confident, even after the guilty verdict was returned. So what? A year or two in the joint? Like water off a duck's back, and he'd get out as bad, and as well connected, as ever. But something in the judge's gimlet eye made him think twice. "Tony", he started, in a flat monotone. Tony suddenly thought the judge meant business...
"Tony", the judge said, his voice taking on, of a sudden, a menacing resonance, "your crimes are of such magnitude that I have no alternative but to sentence you to...FOUR MORE YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL!"
"No!", screamed Tony, as they led him to his doom...
Ah, white powder in the subways!

Ed "Brutus Beefcake" Leslie causes anthrax scare
Submitted by Matthew Tremley on Friday, February 13, 2004 at 2:10 PM EST
• Body slam: T scare lands ex-grappler in rehab
He was the pec-perfect model for a toy action figure and a cartoon character puzzle, but it's former pro wrestling giant Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake who's gone to pieces.
Beefcake - these days Edward Leslie, 46, of Winchester - voluntarily checked into a treatment program Monday, according to a source, after cocaine he admitted was his created an anthrax scare at the MBTA's Downtown Crossing subway station.
Sources said the man who acquired his stage name for hacking off the hair of his enemies in the ring had been working there part time as a fare collector - a job that pays $25,000 a year.
"He was a big star for the World Wrestling (Federation)," Buck Woodward, a columnist for the online magazine Pro Wrestling Insider, said yesterday of Leslie.
"During the '80s wrestling boom he became popular because he was very good friends with Hulk Hogan."
But behind the colossal bronzed chest and TV set of his own wrestling talk show, "The Barber Shop," Leslie's life was headed for the ropes. In 1990, his face was reconstructed with plates and bolts after a freak parasailing accident. Last April, the IRS slammed him with a lien for $57,425, according to records.
The MBTA confirmed yesterday they have an employee named Edward Leslie, but would not say if he was the one they suspended without pay after cocaine turned up Sunday afternoon on the counter of a Downtown Crossing fare booth, prompting an emergency hazmat response.
"Right now it's only an internal disciplinary matter," said MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo. "He has been cooperative with police."

Shit.
Why not say Roberts is gay? Let him have to deny it; let him have to denounce all the smear politics in DC, of which he's been a happy part. Let him explain why he and his wife couldn't have kids on their own, resorting to adoption of high-value blonds. Are you queer? Or your wife?
Make the bastard suffer as much as possible for being a Rethug. Put him through the wringer with every nasty innuendo you can think of. That's how the Rethugs operate--let them know it's been noticed.
(This is what the Israelis call the Kronos Operation--said to prevent detonation of suicide vest).
So it's Israeli (and now British) cowboy policy to go for the headshot? Against the CW (aim for the center of mass) of LEA worldwide?

Roberts' wife isn't queer, but she does have a python-skin riding crop.
I had a whole list of weirdass Repug first names at one point - forgot it, though. Got to post those kinda things when I first think of 'em.
Since Rove has made the whisper campaign a standard part of American political operations, Democrats will either have to resort to using them or get murdered in election after election until they stand as much chance as the Libertarian Party of getting anyone elected to anything above dog catcher. All this "We shouldn't stoop to their level" crap has got to end now. It's got to be "the Chicago way" from here on in.

WTF at 3:03--The neocon worldview is so binary, (With us or against us) that it can't tolerate any real world complexity.
I don't know how the London stuff will play out, but I know what happened in Spain. After the train bombings, the Spanish gov't lied to the citizenry, saying they didn't know who bombed, and hinting at the ETA, a Basque group who denied it.
Then a police tipoff came, saying the gov't knew all along it was Arabs, but chose to blame the Basques for political gain. Bad idea, and the voters threw the ruling party out.
And i'm no longer Fundie Draco--I've lost faith

You guys are gonna be back in New York on the bread line so fast you won't even know that you were on this fuckin' band. How dare you play a fuckin' set like that. Since when did the fuckin' trumpet players become the leader of this fuckin' band and decide how long they're gonna hold a chord? What the fuck do you think you're doin'? You think you're playin' with some kid up there? I expect one-hundred-and-ten percent fucking perfection every fuckin' tune, you got that? If you can't do it, get off my fuckin' band to-NIGHT! You had a day off yesterday and you come back like this and you suck! What the fuck kind of music do you think you're playing here anyhow? And who do you think you're playing for? You think I'll tolerate that shit? You're worse than any fuckin' high school band I ever heard. You come in wrong because you leave one fuckin' beat out, you can't find one!? I don't know what kind of drummers you think you're playin' with, but you'll play with me or you'll get out! And I mean NOW! I don't need this shit. I have a home in Palm Springs and I can go sit on my ass the rest of my life and not worry about a fuckin' thing...and don't have to meet your fuckin' payroll, and pay you for playin' like a fuckin' high school dropout! How dare you do that! ASSHOLES!! You can't play a simple fuckin' tune; you can't hold a chord; you can't play time when you play solos. What kind of solos am I hearing tonight? (as he turns to the Trombonist) You want to rehearse and practice, get a fuckin' band in Sydney and play the kind of shit you want. Over here you play TIME!!
Buddy Rich: The Julie McCoy of band leaders.
I've never liked Buddy Rich's music anyway, so this revelation isn't very shocking.
Contrast him with Duke Ellington, who was a great musican, and nice guy.
Contrast him with Duke Ellington, who was a great musican, and nice guy.
Wasn't that why they called him 'Duke'?
My absolute favorite Rich tantrum:
Two fuckin' weeks to make up your mind whether you want a beard or you want a job. I'll not have this trouble with this band. This is not the goddamn House of David fuckin' baseball team. This is the Buddy Rich Band; young people...with faces! No more fuckin' beards. That's out! If you decide to do it, you're through. Right now! This is the last time I make this announcement. No more fucking beards. I don't want to see it. If you guys don't want to shave it off, I'll treat you just like they treat you in the fuckin' Marine Corps. This is the way I want my band to look. If you don't like it, get out! You've got two weeks to make up your mind. This is no idle request. I'm telling you how my band is gonna look. You're not telling me how you're gonna look, I'm telling you. You've got two weeks to make up your fucking mind, if you have any mind. (pause) There's too much freedom in this band. It's taken away. You're not going to do what you want to do, but what I want to do, as long as you're takin' my fuckin' money.

I believe maybe what wd/dw/whatever is trying to get across is that Dean has "sold out" his supporters by giving a speech saying that the Dems have to make a certain amount of room for those who are opposed to abortion.
That's still not a good reason to vote Green.
Sorry for the typos.
Inexcusable!
Well, I'll see you folks around. I'm heading out for "brunch," like the tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, left-wing freak I am.

Hey Draco - Since you are no longer a believer, can I have your gravatar (as if I will every get one. Opened up a special email account at opera, signed up at gravatar, never heard back weeks ago, now can't even access new email at opera) since it is the coolest one around?
Sorry for the typos. Preview is my friend. Bill is my enemy.
Am I on your official enemies list and where do I rank on it?
You know this works both ways. You started with the obscene language and not me. I have copies of you comments and clearly you are the one that started it. You certainly dont appear to want to win me over to your point of view either. Sorry I have never liked Dean for a long time dating back to when he was the Governor. I guess I should at least have that right.
To be honest, much worse was written here on Kerry, Nadir,Gephardt and other democrats than I ever said.
You know I probably agree with a lot of what people here say about Bush and the repugs, so If I am the enemy so be it.
totally off topic here, but I think interesting.
from bbc,
Rover sold to Nanjing Automobile
Chinese carmaker Nanjing Automotive has secured ownership of MG Rover for an unknown sum, after a three-way bidding battle spread over three months.
steve, are you gonna join us for the mini convention when kent is in town?
There is NO reason to vote
Green.
well, I did, but then again both of the states I've lived in in my voting life haven't exactly been battleground states. Either solid Blue (New York) or solid Red (South Carolina).
I realize though it's a luxury not everyone can afford.

MG Rover's been going down the tube for decades. The model 75 vaguely perked up its fortunes, briefly, but the real moneymaker (Mini) is in BMW hands. This isn't big news.

Am I on your official enemies list and where do I rank on it?
Yes. You're in between Bush and Incog.
You know this works both ways.
No duh.
You started with the obscene language and not me. I have copies of you comments and clearly you are the one that started it.
Obsess much?
You certainly dont appear to want to win me over to your point of view either.
From your very first post here, it was clear it would be a waste of time. You condemn Dean for saying reasonable things like the Dems need to attract more people than just evil baby murderers to the party, tell us he's a disaster, get pissy when people challenge you, etc. The only recourse to me is to swear at you and see if I can at least get a rise out of you. You're easy.
Sorry I have never liked Dean for a long time dating back to when he was the Governor. I guess I should at least have that right.
I disagree with many things Dean did as Governor and as a Presidential candidate. I still oroudly voted for him every 2 years and in the Vermont primary. No politician is perfect. If they were perfect, they'd be saints, not running for higher office.
To be honest, much worse was written here on Kerry, Nadir,Gephardt and other democrats than I ever said.
Define 'worse'. Your comments equal the worst I ever saw on these threads about any candidate (save for the real trollish comments) because you immediately set out to be stand-offish and holier-than-thou. Your boorish sloganeering and obtuseness was evident from the very start.
so If I am the enemy so be it.
For me the enemy/friend distinction does not rely on the agree/disagree dichotomy. I am great friends with people who are diametrically opposed to me politically, and I despise people who are politically aligned with me.
You? I just don't like you and your poopy head. I don't give a shit what your politics are.
This isn't big news.

It may eventually be the beginning of a Chinese automobile maker on the world market. This is why it's interesting.
Otherwise I don't care much about brit autos. they've not been big players for decades.
The mini is these days, but where is the manufacturing for the mini being done?
You know I probably agree with a lot of what people here say about Bush and the repugs, so If I am the enemy so be it.
dw
Isn't it weird. I have never been treated with anything but the utmost respect and kindness from the regulars here. Even when I have been less than diplomatic. Some stranger comes in, starts telling everyone to stop backing Dean, and to turn green, then sends an insulting email to my special Friend, then acts like he is the one put upon when someone talks back.
dw - you are more than welcome to your personal political beliefs. But last time I checked, I was still welcome to mine. Perhaps you would be more comfortable on a Green blog, instead of here.

Well....okay.....
The mini is these days, but where is the manufacturing for the mini being done?
Mini was bought by BMW.
Niiiiice German engineering.
Well I knew it is now a BMW marque, but where is it actualy made?
Kent will be in town mid-August. WT is putting together a drinky, maybe dinner thingy. I was just getting my butt in gear to organize when low and behold, she was right on it. She's a Leo you know.
I would never try to convince you of anything as it would be difficult to understand for you.
Try me? No, don't try me!
The insufferably self-righteous Right has met it's match in the Greens. And I must say, they deserve eachother. Hey, WD? Why not hang out with the LGFers, and exchange witty repartee with them, hmmm?
I must say, though, at first glance--and second and third--the above quote could have come from virtually any of our Wingnut Trools, so maybe he's not as green as he wants us to think. Maybe sort of a reddish green. (Stalin's favorite color).

Can someone from the rightwing please tell me the moral difference between blowing yourself up on a subway full of commutors to fight back against a nation that has waged an unprovoked war against a nation full of your co-religionists and purposely dropping 4 x 500 lb bombs on a North Bagdad public restaurant full of civilians because you received information that someone might be there who you KNOW was no threat to your own country and religious group? US forces did this, said "Well, gee we thought Saddam might be in there." and then never even apologized to the Iraqui families who lost loved ones while peacefully eating or serving meals.
Both sides deserves our opposition. It is a moral requirement of humanity right now.

Every time there's been a new weapon, at least some people say "this will make war unthinkable". It hasn't so far.
Maybe terrorism will finally be the "ultimate weapon" to do this.
Keep the politicians and citizens who vote for them shaking in their boots.

And I'm sure you've saved all my comments to support your assertion, just like you meticulously gathered evidence proving I used naughty language first. I guess life in East Bumfuck, Maine, is a lot more boring than in East Bumfuck, Vermont.

You may have also violated my privacy rights.
You try to bully me via e-mail and I will call you out, motherfucker. Don't you ever assume you can hide behind anonymity here and crap all over people, then expect to have your "privacy" protected when you out yourself with a nasty note.

WD; It's a lot easier to decipher a comment if quoted portions are denoted by <i>quote</i>, which italicizes them (or use b for bold), or using quotation marks, or somesuch. I feel sure you've noticed this, right?
Of course all that may very well be beneath you, which I probably wouldn't understand anyway, so....aw, fuck it.

Come on you started this little fight and everybody knows it and I can prove it. You have no right to publish publicly anything that I wrote to you.
Your outrage would be a little tempered when I display your comments here in their entireity. You started it and run to the public with your fake outrage. The act of a big coward.

None of your business I would say. Or do you plan on further violating my privacy?
Is EastBumfuck Maine near Waterville/Winslow as I can assume that is the area you know best.
hey, Atrios, I don't know if anybody here is addressing your post, so maybe you won't even see this, but I wanted to say that I've wondered about the alt weeklies' lack of interest in blogging, too.
Possibly, it's simply that editorial staffs at the nation's alt weeklies are too overworked to have been paying attention. Possibly it's that blogs wouldn't be likely to buy ads in their culture sections.
I'd also attribute it to the formulaic nature of the alt weeklies now -- publishing the same political columnists for decades, for example, some of whom seem almost ideologically averse to fresh political ideas or strategies.
also, you should know there is a new "Culture blog" at SF Gate, the SF Chronicle's web site -- it started maybe a month ago. I haven't read it much, but looks like it's taking advantage of the hipster / local culture infrastructure you mention.
If you check out it via the main page, on the right of the page, you can see how they're featuring it there, under a "Blogs" heading. They have a "podcast" blog, too, with what looks like interesting audio clips, including insider discussions with editorial staff.
