every day one gets up is a good one. At my age, I have to figure I do not have that many summers left, so I try to enjoy all seasons.
Tonight is the premier of the films shot since last Saturday for the Duke City Shoot-Out. 7 pm... Big crowds anticipated...
My film (n which a play a pirate named 'Kentucky Jack' whose machinations are central to the development of the plot--such as it is) called 'Pirates of the WhiteSands'...we think we're in the running for the Palm de Grease, the top festival prize...there will be a dvd available this fall on which all the films will be included, fyi/wiw...

Women in bikinis.....
I hate summer.

I do too. It's hot, humid and icky.
I liked summer a lot better when I lived up north.

I hate my summer job.
Well, time to go buy lion kitty a jungle gym. He's been whining to be let outside the past 2 days, so last night I thought I'd let him come out while I watered the plants.
He immediately went running out into the parking lot and made me chase him down.
I'm going to have to get him a buddy so we won't be bored.

Yeah, summer in the south is pretty freaking miserable. Though the past coupla summers have been unseasonably mild where I am, so we were due to get hit with the nasty stuff sooner or later.
But to lighten the mood....
Does the impending recess appointment of Bolton mean that he is immune from prosecution even for crimes he forgot he committed previous to the appointment?
No
Mine almost wasn't when my corn seed rotted in the ground.
My sincere sympathy! I was raised on a farm - hardest life ever.

The impending recess appointment of Bolton means that he knows something impeachable. Either that or Condi has "special skills" and uses them to get her way with her whore master.

About that recess appointment. We probably should temper our outrage a little and find a slightly different tack (like he's so unqualified he probably wouldn't have been confirmed).
CSPAN has a pretty interesting article on the subject as an answer to a question dated 5/3/00:
President Clinton has now made 56 recess appointments in his 6 ½ years, the last being James Hormel as Ambassador to Luxembourg on June 4, 1999.
President Bush made 77 recess appointments during his 4 year tenure, and in 8 years as President, Ronald Reagan made 243 such appointments.
President Carter made 68 recess appointments over 4 years in office.
Hey, c'mon over! We'll have meatballs!
Oh and I think that Paul Hackett is a courageous guy (kinda cute too) but the people in that district in Ohio are so used to getting fucked over that they'll vote for that lunatic Schmidt anyway.

Actually, the POTUS could be arrested in the White House, so far as I know.
Impeachment just removes him from office, but I don't think the courts have ever held that holding office, even the Presidency, protects one from criminal prosecution.
So, sure, Bolton can be hauled away from the UN. Might be fitting, in fact.
Be interesting to see if everyone in the General Assembly applauded....
Evening moonbats. OT but I saw a bumper sticker today that said "We brake for geocaching" and I have no idea what that means. Anyone?

Does anyone have proof that shows Dubya's tax breaks have actually increased jobs? I'm sitting here in SW Ohio, we're #1 on jobs lost during Dubya's watch, and Frau Bluecher says permanently eliminating Estate (Death) Tax, Capital Gains Tax, and AMT will help small business. I know it will help rich people, but please show me how it creates jobs. Thanks, just lookin' for ammo to argue with my GOP neighbors and relatives.

Wholly irrelevant. Bolton has been all but rejected, where the GOP controls the Senate.
History of recess appointments here means nothing. Of more importance is the status of the positions filled, which these statistics do not reveal.

holding office, even the Presidency, protects one from criminal prosecution.
Since they held that Clinton could have a civil action brought against him you'd think that they would hold that a president could be prosecuted but with the Republican judges we've got now neither reason or fairness has anything to do with it. They don't belive in equality before the law, afterall.

I agree!
My point was that we shouldn't use the mere fact of a recess appointment to clobber the Resident with, since it apparently is a quite common act by presidents and the Publicans can point to Clinton as having done the same.

let the tarantulas eat his sorry ass.
He's a waste of oxygen.
holding office, even the Presidency, protects one from criminal prosecution.
Tell that to the Congressman who was convicted for a hit and run recently, and subsequently lost re-election.
I know there's been a history of Congresscritters jailed and still holding office, because they got re-elected regardless.
Holding office doesn't protect you from criminal prosecution, nor is impeachment a criminal trial. It simply removes the office holder from office. Had Nixon been impeached, he might subsequently have been charged with a crime, such as conspiracy. He wasn't charged with anything only because Ford pardoned him.
Had he not been impeached, he still could have been charged.

One day, I'll tell you about the time that FOUR Copperheads decided to cozy up alongside me under my tent... I was INSIDE my tent... they needed the warmth.
Oh, looks like I'm telling you now... 
So I woke up, and my hand comes down on something that suddenly starts moving under the tent floor... I freak, start moving in my tent, feeling snakes under me, everywhere I move.
My tent has a front and a back door.
I opened my front flap.. two Copperheads coiled, freaked, pissed and ready to strike... RIGHT FUCKING THERE!!!!
"Ah!" says I, "I've got a BACK door." So off to the other side of the tent I scurry, open the flap, and there are two more-- just as freaked, pissed and coiled...
Fortunately, there were some good folks nearby-- this was a Rainbow Gathering last summer, so I shouted, "HELLLP! SNAKES-- BITCHES!!!" They used long sticks and drummimg to get them to move one.
That pretty well put me off camping down here since. I'll never camp solo down here, for sure.

Freepers are, however, still concerned about Communists
As are we all in this day and age, as are we all.
When I started to read this I thought it might be an offer to solve Sallyh's problem.

No.
I believe that's a nailgun. And NTodd is in charge.
Misogyny, NTodd? But Toby says he likes chicks.
Speaking as someone who is not a sodomite, 'cept on weekends, and loves chicks, I think I can weigh in on this: I've known many guys who love chicks and I've discovered that loving chicks and being a mysogynist are not mutually exclusive characteristics of assholes like Toby. I think they love what they're afraid of and can't have, so they hate because they love. Or because they're stupid, ugly and nobody likes them. Or something.
I shall breathlessly await the good folks at UPS.
Uh, no, it's the bad folks at USPS. They are a 'best effort' service. Fortunately, I've had nothing but good experiences shipping with them.
I hope you like the shot. Fire in Fog ties with Final Winter Moon as my favorite pictures ever to come out of my camera. Both also happen to be best sellers, which is really gratifying.
I'm a lot like Bill Clinton, 'cept not as smart and don't have a penchant for abusing cigars and female underlings. I just want to be loved, and my shots are an extension of me!
Oh my, dw/wd/bill macdonald was right: I just derail things with my insecurities, don't I? Does this post make me look insecure? And fat?

Some years ago I heard Daniel Pinkwater explaining on NPR why this technique doesn't work.
"Before you know it," he said, you have hordes of kids dressed in all black, hanging out in the parking lot, scratching the hoods of cars with their chess sets..."
"I know," he concluded. "These are my fans!
Use a nail gun - come to my house.
Evening, moonbats
GWPDA, if you're there, wall anchors save the day.
watertiger - Well done! Nice Makita you're packing there? Care for a backup DeWalt? I gotta big box o' bits that some contractor forgot if you need anything special....
huh huh huh. he said titmouse. huh huh.
Then again, I'm on the fifth floor, so I have fans running year round.
You have fans everywhere, dahlink...
Marcia Brady -- Or Day Late/Dollar Short Chafee, as I think of him now.
NTodd, I bet Toby can get chicks. The problem is getting enough of them to tape together so it looks something like a woman.
Nice Makita you're packing there? Care for a backup DeWalt?
i bought my mom a makita for christmas a few years ago. her favorite present ever.

Ooooooh, Daniel Manus Pinkwater, back when he was married to Crescent Dragonwagon and writing _Lizard Music_!
Not to mention _Alan Mendelsohn: The Boy from Mars_
speaking of wall anchors, it's STILL raining.
a rainbow gathering is the LAST place i'd want to encounter big mean snakes.
dirk gently
Well, fortunately, it was morning, and I had gotten some sleep. What freaks me out, is were those snakes in my little rain fly vstibule when I went in and out all night for stuff? Were they under the tent when I crawled in finally for sleep? Where WERE they? {I shiver to think}
Believe me.. the incident scared me straight. So to speak. I'm glad there were folks nearby who knew what they were doing. I stayed very close to camp after that, ended up sleeping in my hammock with some mosquito netting at night. I got the heebiejeebies, I admit.

Sully--
Does anyone have proof that shows Dubya's tax breaks have actually increased jobs? I'm sitting here in SW Ohio, we're #1 on jobs lost during Dubya's watch, and Frau Bluecher says permanently eliminating Estate (Death) Tax, Capital Gains Tax, and AMT will help small business. I know it will help rich people, but please show me how it creates jobs.

That is only talking points from the rich to sell a dead pig to stupid white folks that think the Republican party still includes a white middle class. Wal-mart clerks are not middle class, the middle class businessman and women when out of business when Wal-mart moves in.

whew - glad you survived.
my daughter once dreamed there was a duck in her sleeping bag, and has not used one since. non-sequiters rule.

mallard or teal?
spork_incident -- if the Commies and the Homos would stop jumping out of bushes at people, maybe folks would like them better.

GWPDA: Did you ever read "Wempires" ? I warped my daughters' little brains with this one (along with Guys from Space, The Blue Moose and many others).
Here's as good a synopsis as any...
Description : Grade 1-4-- Vintage Pinkwater. A round-faced hero, three wempires who have a strong resemblance to the author, a conversational narrative, and wonderful Yiddish phrasing--all bear the mark of the creator of Yobgorgle, the Snarkout boys, and the second-grade werewolf. This plot concerns a boy who watches a vampire movie and decides to become one. He dresses up in a costume (made by his mother) and proceeds to terrify his little sister and his schoolmates. Three wempires visit at midnight, and fortunately do not like to drink blood but much prefer ginger ale, cold chicken, and sardine and onion sandwiches; when the narrator's mother discovers the mess they have made in her kitchen, she throws them out. No matter--our hero will continue to enjoy his vampire existence. The deceptively simple illustrations are cleverly designed, well placed, and add much humor. It is the writing, however, that provides the chuckles and demonstrates Pinkwater's continued zaniness. A volume for all would-be vampires. --Suzanne Wolfe, formerly at Shady Side Academy Junior School, Pittsburgh

Grades 1-4 the fuck indeed...
Toby banned?!
Yes!!!
He brought nothing but stupidity and darkness and his own special brand of inhumanity and devolution to this place.
He cast a pall over every thread, in just the brief time he was back.
Atrios, you are a wise and wonderful man.
By the bye: does anyone know the way to the Finland Station?
spork_incident - Sorry but a couple years back the guy running it was sued into closing it down. Too bad - -that- was some fine anonymity!
Perhaps I can tape them together and make a man! - watertiger
In just seven days?
Spork_incident..
One day, I'll tell you about the time that FOUR Commies decided to cozy up alongside me under my tent... I was INSIDE my tent... they needed the warmth.
Oh, looks like I'm telling you now...
So I woke up, and my hand comes down on something that suddenly starts moving under the tent floor... I freak, start moving in my tent, feeling commies under me, everywhere I move.
My tent has a front and a back door.
I opened my front flap.. two homos coiled, freaked, pissed and ready to strike... RIGHT FUCKING THERE!!!!
"Ah!" says I, "I've got a BACK door." So off to the other side of the tent I scurry, open the flap, and there are two more-- just as freaked, pissed and coiled...
Fortunately, there were some good folks nearby-- this was a Young Republicans Gathering last summer, so I shouted, "HELLLP! COMMIES-- HOMOS!!!" They used long sticks and drummimg to get them to move on.
my daughter once dreamed there was a duck in her sleeping bag
There's a "wouldn't kick her out of my sleeping bag for something something quackers" joke there somewhere, but it needs more attention than I have time to devote to it...
...and besides, it's your daughter.
I have more drill bits than I know what to do with.
Would you stop with the straight lines already?
Are you saying your bit is getting hot?
watertiger -
I've been meaning to ask... did Elvis Costello sing The Scarlet Tide when you saw him? It's that gorgeously heartbreaking song he wrote for the sountrack to "Cold Mountain". Seems like it would be a perfect duet with Emmylou Harris...
Oh Shaw, I love Veal Tonnato.
Yum, yum.

the duck was a mallard. the sleepingbag was teal.
SteveLG - My Mum was the Senior Children's Librarian for the LAPL/Western Region. I read everything there was....
But just last week, I was re-reading Lizard Music - for the Walter Cronkite references.
Spork, yes I am exceedingly singular. So are you from the burgh, or not. And what highschool?
my daughter once dreamed there was a duck in her sleeping bag
That's nothing - I once got a goose in my pajamas!

Although I have to admit, the whole "pity-based marketing" plan is working pretty well. Now if only Janeane would mention Winding Roads on her radio show.
...and besides, it's your daughter.
and she was about 5.

I agree. There was a time when he was kinda fun to kick around. Just cos he's ugly and stupid.
But lately he's nothing but a pantload on any thread he infests.
Good riddance.

First tell us what the pants and cookies situation was...oh, wait.
Now if only Janeane would mention Winding Roads on her radio show. NTodd, sans sobriquet(!)
Did you hear that she landed the role of new chief of staff on West Wing?
What's that all about, Dirk?
just weaving threads together, making up stories out of whole cloth. your snake story and marcia's "feepers fear commies" thread seemed a perfect match.

Yes, they sang it for the encore!

The one over there that got turned into another one back in '84.

Oh! That's pretty good, actually...

I hadn't seen him play for a while - it was money well spent. 2.5 hours of old and new Elvis, with the bonus of Emmylou.

Yes, well, I have to go cut back some of these trees - Big Trash Pickup Day is coming and I want to be ready.
Don't anybody tell anybody that I've gone outside and it's still 104 and the humididdity is around 30% I promise that I WILL NOT die. Honest. Besides, the east side of the house is in shade now and it should be okay.

Have a cookie.
Hey, GWPDA - how were the meatballs anyhoo?
Meatballs. GOOD.
Arthur had two bowls full. He's Chinese of course, and likes a good pseudo-kung-pao meatball when he can get it. Could not tell that turkey was involved at all.
Off to barber the citrus!
Have a cookie.
WHOOHOO!
Man, I wish I could see him on this tour.
JFTB/WT,
I'm seeing 'em next weekend at the Newport Folk Festival. It's a pretty safe bet that at least one of my known associates will (cough) "record" it for (cough) "posterity"... I'll let ya know..
Wierd with all the tool talk!
Just got done dissembling an old entertainment center we bought for $75 when we first moved here....with my cool cordless drill.
Like GWPDA, Irate Scholar, gonna put the pieces out on Big Trash Pickup Day.
.
I love Big Trash Pickup Day - when the Big Trash Picker comes by, followed by the Little Trash Picker and then, the guy with the broom to tidy everything away.. It's like the clowns at the circus, only nicer and more to the point.
More to the point - having just cleaned out the beds up front - anybody got any mulch?
Monroeville?
Edgewood.
.
Easy Rider - I know it's all GOP spin, but I'd love to see the facts of how tax cut's have/have not created jobs. It goes back to the VP debate; John Edwards was on to something, but Dumbass Chaney made up some figures to contradict him. After that, it pretty much got dropped. So what's the REAL answer?
I was in bed sick yesterday, so it's Baby Blogging Time, Birthday edition!
nybody got any mulch?
Will disposable diapers do?
