I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
mwah!
Toid
And congrats to Scout Prime for making CNN!
What's this about Scout Prime on CNN?
Her blog got cited on CNN's "blogspot" today. Quoted from her post about the vigil in Madison.
Hi all, just cruising by. Didn't know if you had seen this. Hope he's all
right.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., saw a doctor after feeling light-headed Tuesday and learned he'd suffered a mild stroke, aides said Friday.
"Senator Reid feels fine. There are no complications or any restrictions on his activities. He has undergone evaluations this week, and his doctors have recommended that he take advantage of the summer congressional recess for some down time," said a statement issued by Reid's press secretary, Tessa Hafen. Reid is not hospitalized.
Feh.
Anyway. What sort of plan have the Decepticons got for Iraq or anything else for that matter, other than "cross your fingers and blame the democrats"?
If anyone has an answer, I'd really like to know.
Atriots rock!!!
Eschatonians roll.
Congrats scout prime
That's tremendous! Congrats, Scout, wherever you are this fine evening.
DUBLIN (AFP) - Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott was being honoured as one of the fathers of Irish rock music with a statue in the heart of Dublin.
"i'm sure there's a noble cause here somewhere."

Oooo, ooo! is that cached anywhere?
I heard people up here were nekkid.
Is this true?
Wow, scout prime, a celebrity in our midst! I suppose the kaffeklatch is right out then?
I heard people up here were nekkid.
well, i was speaking for myself.
Howdy everybody.
Way to go, Scout Prime!
Congrats Scout!
I heard people up here were nekkid.
How'd you find out?
sniff...and to think...I dubbed her "scout prime."
i'm so proud of her! (breaks down weeping)
JohnTomato
Someone was name stealing you on the last thread.
Congrats, you are now official.
Can I be nekkid too?
nope had to girdle me loins.
I heard people up here were nekkid.
How'd you find out?

Any other Wisconsinites on tonight? My part of Greater Cheeseland was nearly taken out by tornados yesterday.
Congratulations ScoutPrime.
scout prime - if the Hot Blogger Chicks on CNN invite you to a party, can I be your +1?
heard people up here were nekkid.
Well, NTodd is always sans coulottes (sp?).
So I guess the fundies got to Frist, huh?
"I think today a pluralistic society should have access to a broad range of fact, of science, including faith," Frist said.
Barf.
Scout,
You go girl!
and in honor of Scout Prime's cycling habit - tomorrow's the big day! Lance Armstrong gets to ride behind Bush for the duration of his visit.
Atrios,
Can you hire a concierge or something to help prevent us from unlocking the secrets of the human condition on a dead thread?
"I think today a pluralistic society should have access to a broad range of fact, of science, including faith," Frist said.
GAAAAH!
And that's why God gave us SCIENCE CLASS and PHILOSOPHY/THEOLOGY CLASS!
He's nekkid.
She's nekkid
wouldn't you like to be nekid too...
"I think today a pluralistic society should have access to a broad range of fact, of science, including faith," Frist said.
This just means that all of our children, who have been taught actual science, will be much better qualified for good jobs, grants and research projects when they grow up.
Not much call out there for "Intelligent Design Theorists"...

And Little Bitch George is preparing for the event by chowing down on beans and sauerkraut juice.
Ah, room to move around.
Yay Scout Prime! CNN's blogging segment must not have sucked-today. Damn, I missed it.
Great pics of the vigil too.
"I think today a pluralistic society should have access to a broad range of fact, of science, including faith," Frist said.
What the fuck does that mean? Don't like what science says about the shape of the planet, just "have faith" that is really something more to your liking?
Can you hire a concierge or something to help prevent us from unlocking the secrets of the human condition on a dead thread?
Good idea. WalterNeff keeps curing cancer, but then there's a new thread and it fucks up everything.
And shit, if that isn't relevant enough for Hesiod, then nothing is...

Will Bush be smirking that he has more balls than Lance?

If these loonies stay in charge I'm sure the Government will be hiring them. Heck we already have "faith based" war planning.
Lance Armstrong gets to ride behind Bush for the duration of his visit.
Does this mean that if an American wins the World's Heavyweight Championship belt in boxing Bush will get in the ring with him? 'Cause that would be the pay-per-view event of the century!

But are they nekkid?
MSNBC has a Very fucking grim story about the clusterfuck in Iraq. Next week is going to be bloody. Echoing what Sy Hersch said this week on the daily show, US and foreign intelligence officials believe there is a plan for a simultaneous 20 suicide bomber attack, with mortars and rockets fired at the green zone, and the airport planned to coincide with the draft of the constitution next week.
And oo to Scout Prime for the word up. I don't watch CNN as a rule, but still'n'all, that's good to hear...
Could someone just punch Frist in the nose and be done with it? Science does not INCLUDE faith. Thank you.
My girlfriend's from Muskego, but she lives here in NYC now. All her kinfolk are fine though.
The town of Viola is only about 20 miles from me; I watched that storm and tornado go over Viroqua. Not a pretty picture; Viola's pretty much wiped out.
Okay, so I'm filling out some scary-assed forms today which got me to thinking; so I need your advice.
Do I go into the light? Or stay away from the light. I get that confused.

The Discovery Channel will be recording tomorrow's bike ride for posterity, but if anything really interesting happens, we'll never see it.
Does anyone here know someone who works at Discovery? Really well?
Just askin'

Oh my, yes.
I went to see "Must Love Dogs" for her. If that ain't love, I don't know what is.
Samurai Sam,
Reporting from Madison. Posted this earlier from the Milw.JournSent about the tornado:
One last beer
At the Stoughton Country Club, the roof was sucked off the building. Lenny Peaslee, head chef, crouched behind the bar in the basement, where about 40 people waited out the storm.
"We saw stuff flying and basically buried our heads," said Peaslee, who was cooking steaks when somebody shouted to get in the basement. He said some guys grabbed their beers as they raced down the stairs.
"They thought it might be their last one," he said. "They wanted to have one in hand."
But are they nekkid?
[shudder]
Isn't there a world champion fencer who'd like to go down to Crawford and fence with that little bitch?
scout, i've seen Crooks & Liars mention they try to post clips that are requested. you should ask if they have that.
The Discovery Channel will be recording tomorrow's bike ride for posterity, but if anything really interesting happens, we'll never see it.
I want Lance to pedal by him effortlessly, and for Bush to jump (or fall) off his bike in a tantrum.
OT:
Now John Roberts thinks descrimination is A-OK too.
Can our Dems PLEASE start opposing this guy now?
First I'd like to thank the woman who got me started in this crazy bizness...watertiger...this is for you
And to my Eschaton family thanks ...you guys are the greatest.
"You like me...You really like me!!!"
Now reality...
Just checked my site...Ahh this is a statement to the power of CNN I guess...today's hits = Pathetic
So I do have cat blogging up today....Teddy is always the big draw anyway.
One more bit on the WI tornados--the one outside Madison was possibly F4.
Climate change predicts more frequent and violent storms, but I'm sure this is just coincidence.
Just noticed this bit from the NYT article on the Vioxx verdict:
The case in Angelton pitted a team led by Mr. Lanier, a part-time Baptist preacher considered one of the top trial lawyers in the United States, against a small army of lawyers for Merck that included lawyers from two large corporate law firms, Williams & Connolly and Fulbright & Jaworski.
A Baptist preacher and a trial lawyer? The repukes' heads must explode at the very thought. Does not compute...does not compute...

Doesn't matter. He'll only invite you if you consent to his ground rules, which invariably have him coming out on top.
Chickenshit punk.
Walter Neff,
Look around for a boatman. Bring some coins. But I sincerely hope you don't see any boatmen or need any coins. I'll be sending lots of positive energy your way on Monday at 4:00.
I'm in Milwaukee and we only got a bit of rain. Some neighbors did have debris from 60 miles away in their yards.

Well, there's faith and then there's Faith. Even the Principle of Induction requires a bit of faith. I have faith in science, but it's not the same as Faith in God or The Stars or Ba'al...

Fell in love with her in Lonesome Dove, and never looked back.

Late to the game, but kudos to Scout Prime. Plus, To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorite novels. I read it once again last year. And I could read it tomorrow and love it all the more.
Too bad Scout Prime isn't here right now. Perhaps someone could direct her to this thread.

no, but it's recommended. it's hot outside.
OK, My imaginary heterosexual Christian son who will enlist to fight the howling jackals of Islam on his eighteenth birthday is pestering me to find out how long it takes for a Grav to be birfed.
I'm nekkid under my clothes. Usually.
I was reading this diary at Kos called conversations at an OK gas pump.
Just shoot me now:
Where do you get your information about the war?
The Bible and the 700 Club. I also listen to preachers who know what's going on. Pat Robertson.
What do you like about Bush?
He's a praying man of god. He's a family man and he does care. He gets blamed for everything. If this country would turn back to god, things would get better. You can't go on killing babies and allowing homosexual stuff to stay. We do love the people, but we don't love their actions.
Do you think talking about homosexuality does anything to improve healthcare or poverty?
I guess for me I've always had to trust the lord for the next job, which is usually housecleaning. If you have your eyes on him, he'll take care of you. The government can't help us.
Do you always vote?
Yes, I volunteered for the Republican Party and I enjoyed it very much.
Have you always been Republican?
When I first registered, I was a Democrat. Just from studying in school, I thought that's what I wanted to be because I believed in government for the people, by the people and of the people. But after I was saved, I realized the Republican beliefs are me so I switched and I'm glad I did.
What does it mean to be a Republican?
Republicans pick the people who believe like we do.
You mean believe in the Bible?
Yes and godly principles. If we kick god out, we'll be like other countries that have AIDS, sickness and poverty. God created the earth, he created the rules and he knows what's best for everybody.
Unfortunately, we have AIDS, sickness and poverty in this country.
Yes, because we allow homosexuality.
You blame homosexuality for AIDS, sickness and poverty?
Well, sometimes people are innocent. This nation is in trouble. The ACLU are run by communists and funded by communists. What does that tell you? They want to take god away from us.
Do I go into the light? Or stay away from the light?
I dunno... feed a cold, starve a cold? It's all so confusing!
Walter--just let them give you Versed and you won't give a rat's ass.
Hey...I'm here and just want to say thanks everyone.
Where are the g-d cats?
Not that I care all that much. Got home this afternoon to find one of the local quasi-feral cats - the nasty white one that likes to pose in the side yard floodlights so that Arthur can -see- her - had decided that my front porch was a place for her nap. Bsssstssspffttt! Hist! Scat!
Way to go Scout.

Stay away from the light, Walter. I don't even want to hear about you changing any lightbulbs, you hear?
Could someone just punch Frist in the nose and be done with it?
He is, like, the worst politician I have ever seen. No way does he get the nomination, let alone win the Presidency. He pisses off the fundies with the whole stem cell research turnaround (which was clearly done b/c of the polls on it showing a strong majority support it), so in a lame attempt to get them back he endorses ID. Saran wrap is less transparent.
And he's, well, how should I put this? a face only a mother could love?
And incidentally, the chappie who calls me Auntie has a tremendously well presented historical analysis of Central Asian history on blog. Very nice. Way to go, Paksoy!
Dear WalterNeff, I don't know about forms, but be sure your doctors care about you.

WalterNeff I've been under anesthesia twice and in a coma once.
All 3 times I heard Diana Ross and The Supremes singing. So I'm convinced that if there's a heaven they play Motown all the time.

My answer was "beer."

Oh absolutley. The core Republicans are playing with fire by pandering the fundies (but then again they don't beleive in gov't of, for & by the people either).
WalterNeff,
You'll be fine, though a bit sore for a while. My wife works in the cardiac unit of our regional medical center. Her docs aren't licensed to print money because they don't know what they're doing. I'm a computer dude and I've been to some cocktail parties with these cardiac guys. Their geekitude is certifiable.
They're wired tight. From my layman perspective they're eclipsed in the industry's respect only by the brain dudes.
You'll be in good care.

I wanted to say this on the Iraq'd thread.
Both generals Abizaid and Casey called on Ibrahim Jaafari today. I imagine they told him they are in charge of the country.
Chris/tx that is horrifying. I came across a great quote last night and it seems appropriate now.
Rabbi Sherwin Wine:
"There are two visions of America. One precedes our founding fathers and finds its roots in the harshness of our puritan past. It is very suspicious of freedom, uncomfortable with diversity, hostile to science, unfriendly to reason, contemptuous of personal autonomy. It sees America as a religious nation. It views patriotism as allegiance to God. It secretly adores coercion and conformity. Despite our constitution, despite the legacy of the Enlightenment, it appeals to millions of Americans and threatens our freedom.
The other vision finds its roots in the spirit of our founding revolution and in the leaders of this nation who embraced the age of reason. It loves freedom, encourages diversity, embraces science and affirms the dignity and rights of every individual. It sees America as a moral nation, neither completely religious nor completely secular. It defines patriotism as love of country and of the people who make it strong. It defends all citizens against unjust coercion and irrational conformity.
This second vision is our vision. It is the vision of a free society. We must be bold enough to proclaim it and strong enough to defend it against all its enemies."
Let's call that second vision the reality based version.
you and I both know that the Earth is banana-shaped...
The world is of course sausage shaped. We as of yet are able only to travel around its circumference. Were we to discover a means to travel along the "barrel" of the sausage, many strange enlightenments would be vouchsafed us.
This is well known.
OT, but Gilliard finds a good response to the Virgin Ben. Choice passage:
..."Supporting the Troops" goes far beyond slapping a magnet on your car or writing for a far right wing website. Moral and material support? You've got to be kidding me. My unit rolled into Iraq with no body armor, and most of our vehicles armed with nothing more than canvas. There was a point where we had to ration water! Veterans benefits are cut by your party all the time. Republicans smear real war heroes like John Kerry and Max Cleland. Members of your party even had the audacity to wear Purple Heart band-aids at your National Convention, mocking every soldier wounded on the fields of battle. Partisan hack Rush Limbaugh denounced a recent Iraq Vet running for Congress as a "staff puke."ť Support? Hardly.
One thing these supposed christians forget - they get to feel important now, while their monkey sits in the oval office, but the american people are easily bored and tend to identify with whoever they percieve as the underdog. That's why their leaders keep flogging the victim thing. One day not too far out they're going to find themselves unpopular and of no further use to the corporatists, and they have no real defense for that. It's going to be sweet to hear jay *fucking* leno making fun of them, while they flail around complaining and longing for the good old days. They also won't be at all prepared for how sick of them the rest of us will be. Enjoy *heaven*, bastards!

Government Ends Plans for New Crash Test By KEN THOMAS Associated Press WriterWASHINGTON -- Auto safety officials abandoned plans Friday for an additional crash test on new vehicles, saying it could lead to production changes that might actually bring more leg injuries.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said more research was needed on a test in which only a portion of a vehicle's front end strikes a barrier at speeds of 35 to 40 mph.
Similar versions of the test are used by the Virginia-based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and groups in Europe, Australia and Japan.
NHTSA researchers found that automakers were building vehicles with more rigid front ends in order to pass the tests, and they asserted the stiffer front ends could lead to car occupants sustaining more injuries to lower extremities.
...
Adrian Lund, the institute's chief operating officer, said no evidence supports the government's contention that the offset tests could lead to more injuries.

I think she was later in the American Pie films (but don't know for sure b/c I never saw them), but anyway, apparently she's in a NYC hospital with hepatitis C, a collapsed lung and a heart infection and being treated for a heroin addiction. The NY Post says she's been living on the streets for months.
She's only 26 years old. Jebus. I realize that this happens every day in an American city, but wow, that's quite a fall. I really liked her in Slums of Beverly Hills. It was kind of a bittersweet film.
Yum!
Is it Christian?

Anyone else notice that Charlie Rose has Rumsfeld on for the hour tonight? I don't think I can stomach it tonight. I like Charlie, but he's waaay too nice a southern boy to really grill Rummy like the shitsteak he is.
I've heard that Natasha Lyonne was sick. She was in a great film called "But I'm a Cheerleader!" where she played a young lesbian who got sent to a Christian reeducation camp and met a nice girl.
Didn't hear it was heroin though. Yuck.
does wearing a sarong constitute being naked?
Completely depends on how many people are wearing it at the same time.
Sweet bigvic - I can write it out again. It's just that I already did, with all my little idiosyncratic instructions, and emaiuled it to sallyh and GWPDA. Alas, GWPDA never got it, and I think Sallyh has just been too swamped to find it amongst all the other recipes. But, I will write it out again for you. Just not tonight.

Dear God is one of the greatest songs ever.
Dear god,
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I don’t mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
’cause they don’t get enough to eat
From god,
I can’t believe in you.
Dear god,
Sorry to disturb you,
But I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
’cause they can’t make opinions meet,
About god,
I can’t believe in you.
Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!
Dear god,
Don’t know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it ain’t and so do you,
Dear god,
I can’t believe in,
I don’t believe in,
I won’t believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
You’re always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And it’s the same the whole world ’round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
That the father, son and holy ghost,
Is just somebody’s unholy hoax,
And if you’re up there you’ll perceive,
That my heart’s here upon my sleeve.
If there’s one thing I don’t believe in...
It’s you,
Dear god.
NTodd,
Sounds like that's more for posterior than posterity.

"Now I understand the remark earlier today about Morris Dees and Minute Men"
I thought he sang with The Time.
Query:
I have earned enough Southwest miles or points or whatever to get a free round-trip ticket. Do I--
a) use it to go to Philly for EschaCon? or
b) let my son use it for his cross-country trip to Disney World in October?
You see the moral dilemma, yes?
Does that mean you believe him when he says if there's one thing he doesn't believe in, it's Go-o-o-o-o-od?
Well, Partridge is definitely into a sort of pre-Christian British pastoral tradition in which heaven is here on earth (and no, not in a Belinda Carlisle sense). He's very into a whole seasonal, cyclical kind of numinous vibe, all nature and the Greenman, definitely not the traditional Christian thing.
mena - remember when i mistyped your nick as 'mean'? Well, next time it might be deliberate. I really am only interested in your underpants and skirts in a wholesome, professional, not-entirely-lecherous manner. Honest.
watertiger - six fingers come in...handy.
I thought he sang with The Time.
Or for you Jay & Silent Bob fans, "Morris Day and the Muthafuckin' Time."
"...degrees of pantslessness"
My dad is an old conservative guy, and he thinks there are only two "phases of pant": They are either cinched up tight under the ribs, or they are off.
No "degrees of pantslessness" as far as he's concerned. On or off, that's it.
But me, I think there are as many degrees as there are pants and pants wearers. And that's why I'm a liberal.
Now for god's sake, will someone help me get my zipper unstuck?

"Quietly, and under the radar for now, a movement is growing across the country that could blow up White House war planning and finish off the U.S. adventure in Iraq.
That movement is state-by-state legislation to provide for testing of returning National Guard troops for signs of contamination by depleted uranium."
-snip-
"Meanwhile, an early small test sample of nine returned NY State National Guard soldiers, financed by the NY Daily News, found four, or nearly half the sample, to be clearly DU contaminated, with the others showing obvious symptoms (headaches, renal and neurological problems, etc.)."
i'm sure this has been budgeted for. quite certain. really, really convinced.

Walter, well, it's either that or Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphy. You get to pick.

Where's the smiting?? How can you have a religion without an angry god? Otherwise where would we get our moral compass? Indeed, without such an angry god, I dare say that soon pantlessness will be rampant.

mena
under pants? ya mean there's two? Crap.
Walter: This is exceptionally nosey and whatnot, but (a) are you definitely having the surgery, and (b) if so, any chance you could have someone check in here with progress reports? I assume you're not going to be commenting from your recovery room, and you know us, we like to mind the bizness of folks we adore.
Hecate,
The only thing wrong with finding Jay and Silent Bob really funny is the knowledge that Jay (also arrested for heroin possession, btw) is exactly like that in real life. I had a student who was an extra on one of the films and he assured me, it's not acting.
Holly Vacation Batman! That Sheehan bitch snuck up on us!
Indeed, without such an angry god, I dare say that soon pantlessness will be rampant.

And both legs jammed in one pants-leg, hopping all the way. Not appropriate for riding the bus (with those damned stairs and transit cops), but perfect for brightening up a boring and irreplaceable morning wasted at church...

I was reading an article in The Lancet about a study that proved conclusively that parents who financed their kids' cross-country trips to theme parks would always regret it. Something about the journey turns the youngsters into degenerate Republican Tucker-Carlson-looking weenies.
You would be doing your child a favor by coming to Eschacon. Please... think of his future.

==
And then, who KNOWS what could happen!
Mary - you sound just a smidge too authoritative with that whole description.
I hoped for a second you meant the spirituality of Andy Partridge. But on reflection, I bet you meant the pants.
you know, the terms that we use to describe philosophical bents, political bents, obfuscate critical truths. for example, some use "liberal" as a pejorative term. others, use "conservative". some identfiy, the "left". others, the "right".
personally, i think all these expressions duck the salient issue. one is either a "statist" - a "totalitarian" - or an "anti-statist" - an "anti-totalitarian".
i have been, i am, an "anti-statist".
in this era, this means that i am neither aligned with the democrat party or the republican party. i don't like either one very much. and when i determine that the state[democrat, republican] is lying to the citizenry, i oppose that prevarication. and attempt to air the truth.
i suppose this perspective of mine was shaped by the vietnam war. and the fact that i was trained as a historian - an investigator into causation. that is probably what led me into forensic metallurgy.
as i have related to you, my thesis was bob mcnamara's dod and the decision to acquire the TFX[aka F-111] from the gangster-controlled, texas-sited general dynamics.
suffice it to say, everything mcnamara's dod reported to the public concerning the F-111 was a splendid bit of prevarication. the most amazing thing to me was how the trade journal, AVIATION WEEK AND SPACE TECHNOLOGY, reported the dod lies without any analysis of them, any critical evaluation of them. clearly, mcgraw-hill had decided to be a tentacle of the state - could not be relied upon for anything other than state-originated propaganda.
oddly enough, about the same time[1969] that i submitted my thesis, articles[focusing on the F-111] scathingly investigating bob mcnamara were aired. one was in barron's [not a leftie journal]. the other aired in the NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS. written by one of the finest journalists of the postWW2 era, I F Stone [i shall discuss izzie later].
but prior to the publication of these very public, very insightful critiques by professional journalists, a book was published by LITTLE, BROWN [an outfit proprietary?] in 1968. authored by a robert j art under the auspices of the Harvard Center for International Affairs[Harvard CIA]. it was entitled THE TFX DECISION: McNamara and the Military.
If you failed to read all the testimony presented in the McClellan hearings into this contract award, you might believe this little book. But the story as it is related in this little book is fraudulent. this book is an exemplar of the state's falsifying history.
clearly, the state[democrat, republican] commissions fraudulent records, false histories. i thought it odd in 1968-1969 that the harvard center for international affairs commissioned an apologia for mcnamara concerning weapons systems procurement fraud. little did i realize at the time that i was encountering the ushering in of a new age of exquisite, state-sanctioned propaganda. and it was bipartisan.
well, over the years, i had forgotten robert j art. 35 years ago, i considered him a spook. and i considered the harvard center for international affairs a spook cover.
ten years ago, i encountered a book entitled, POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS AND MILITARY CHANGE: LESSONS FROM PERIPHERAL WARS. written by a deborah d avant. published by the CORNELL STUDIES IN SECURITY AFFAIRS.
i acquired and read the book. total bullshit.
and then i noticed something on the dustjacket. CORNELL STUDIES IN SECURITY AFFAIRS, a series edited by......Robert J Art.....
so, this is how it works. the state manipulates the citizenry by every method possible. fraudulent academicians, for instance.
understanding that level of information management, you must begin to accept the fact that the msm are all state-managed, state-owned, state-scripted.
[to be continued, order of battle issues to be discussed next]
Walter, I can also call the hospital and make sure that the most handsome man in the hospital desires to hear You Light Up My Life while in recovery.
Silleigh,
We have animated Clerks here too. Man, there's a lot of geeks in this place!
I can't decide who's the bigger tool, Andrew Sullivan or Christhopher Hitchens. At least Hitchens can say "I was shitfaced" as an excuse. But then Andy's probably taken a lot of beings as a power bottom to the neocons. I just can't make up my mind.
"Indeed, without such an angry god, I dare say that soon pantlessness will be rampant."
I have no trouble remaining "rampant" while wearing pants. Sometimes for hours at a time.
It's just like riding a bicyle...

An ode to those who hunger and thirst after senseless bloodletting:
We stand astride the river red
Not red from ores leached from God's earth
But red from blood spilled by our hand
Blood of fathers killed too young
Blood of mothers, grief unsung
Blood of daughters
Blood of sons
Blood of countless unnamed ones
Blood that cries from earth to sky
Blood that asks in God's name, why?
Blood of thinkers
Doctors
Sages
Blood that speaks
of Sin
and Wages
Reaping what we sow
Deep inside we know
The bell that tolls
for countless souls
For us
is
forever
silent.
you are aware of the huge, miasmatic cloud of emptiness that hangs over the panhandle of oklahoma?
Nah. It's just red dust. Besides, they've fixed that road and nobody rides it - you can go really, really fast.

And may those ties of love be ours

My sister lives in OK. Explain to me how the product of a Democrat to the core family, organized labor as far back as they eye can see, now says that she's a Republican. I don't get it. She's a wild, wild child, has quite a past, but is now playing the role of holier than thou Republican Conservative. I don't OK b/c of what happened to my sister after she moved there. She used to be fun. Now she's just a GOP hypocrite.
But I love her.

Found the CNN transcript....
Scout Prime in Wisconsin reported 300 or 400 people at the vigil there. This one here is in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a roadside vigil there. And this is from Seattle, Washington where the message for George Bush was very simple: Talk to her.
Now as we said, this was pushed by MoveOn.org. What they were hoping for was messages in support of Cindy Sheehan. But what you'll see from some of the pictures going back now to Madison, Wisconsin is there are a couple of different views. The sign at the bottom, "America Stands With Cindy," but at the top, the bigger goal of some of these demostrators, "ImpeachBush.org" says that sign.
I don't know what do you guys think?
They just have to slam Move On it seems.
I hope that woman holding ImpeachBush sign was prepared to be on CNN.

I've heard that Natasha Lyonne was sick. She was in a great film called "But I'm a Cheerleader!" where she played a young lesbian who got sent to a Christian reeducation camp and met a nice girl.
I've seen "But I'm a Cheerleader!" It's a charming movie, and Clea Duvall was dee-lite-ful in it, too. I'm sorry -- and surprised -- to read that about Lyonne.

Reminds me of a joke:
Came back from church with two black eyes. My friend said, "What happened?" I explained, "We stood up to sing the hymn and the lady in the pew in front of me--her skirt was jammed up in the crack of her butt. So, I pulled it out! She turned around and smacked my left eye!" "Okay," says my friend. "That's one. How do you explain the other black eye?" "Well," I says, "she seemed so upset... I thought I'd stuff the dress back in the crack!"
If they would just take off their pants, it would make this entire process much easier.

They're such a tired stereotype. Case history: old neighbor had two daughters. One took up rebelliously with a biker. Lived the wild life. Biker had bike accident, oddly enough, nearly died. Instant born again couple. Two little home-schooled kids. No more contact with family. Eventually divorced. I moved and thankfully lost the thread of the story. Blecchhhhh.
How did MoveOn "push" for the vigils other than talking about it and having a spot where you could search for nearby vigils? And this is wrong how?
I'm assuming they didn't spend mega-bucks buying billboards and ad time to "push" it. I found out through word of mouth (well, blog). Apparently only those espousing remotely "liberal" causes can be used by a political party. All those folks showing up at Clear Channel "support the troops" rallies, naw, they were acting of their own volition, but libs? We're not capable of independent thought; we wouldn't exist without MoveOn/Michael Moore/etc-ect-andsoforth.

You know.... I had a really bad time in Leavenworth, Kansas - a time so bad that ten years later I'm still dealing with the sons of bitches. But you know - as a person whose Mummy was born in Oklahoma, of folks who were born in Missouri, of folks who walked the Trail of Tears - and on the other side, of Irish kin who ran like hell til they finally came to Kansas before they ran out of steam - somehow the sons of bitches in the 'heartland' never quite grasped the idea that the person they were fighting was somebody who knew exactly what they were and why they were and had damned all respect for them from the git. Anybody still in backofbeyond Kansas now is there because they didn't have enough guts to get the hell out of Dodge. And I've absolutely no qualms about saying it. My people knew enough to know how to leave.
G'night beloveds. See you next week after I come back from Pincher Creek. It may be time to go on back up to Grandmother Country and be damned with the antics of the US. We'll know in a bit - and then we'll learn more about the wonders of the interconnected society we all love so well.

I've got a multi-purpose bird feeder out back. I feed birds, squirells, chipmunks etc.. A big old barred owl purches on a branch about 5 ft above the feeder. It feeds off the chimpmunks & squirells.

The cycle starts all over again. every damn thing out here is made up of stuff that can be found in outer space, from minerals to amino acids, therefore we're all aliens, we just forgot more than we know.

True story: Well-to-do but painfully cheap friend was inordinately proud of the "free" purebred Samoyed that turned up on his rural acreage one day. Couldn't say enough about it's beauty, intelligence, and freeness. Until it found a porcupine in the woods one day that implanted scores of needles on it's muzzle and inside it's mouth, which had to be surgically removed at not inconsiderable expense. At least it was a good party story. Until it decided that was a fun weekend pastime. Did I mentioned he was a rethug? Heh, heh, heh.

I made a "wearable baby blanket" out of some chenille I got on E-bay. Cutest damn thing I ever say. It's a yard of chenille, hole cut in the center and two arm openings with ribbing applied around the neck and arm openings. You put the little bambino's head through the opening,arms through the other two openings, wrap the rest of the "blanket" around said bambino and they're ready to go. Cute, cute, cute.

I believe the answer to your question is in the text of the last thread.

now, you may not like hearing it, but when you invest your forces to kill and be killed, the order of battle issue is of paramount importance.
that was the issue that the chairman of the jcs, general shinseki, was raising.
essentially, he said that if you are going to invade iraq, based upon his understanding of the iraqi order of battle, you will need 300,000 - 500,000 infantrymen.
as you know, shinseki was cashiered for this very honest analysis.
and in retrospect, shinseki was as right on as sam adams was in the vietnam era.
but for reasons that must involve pac money, neither the dems nor the reps wanted to deal with this issue of required levels of manpower for a military engagement.
personally, i was opposed to this criminality of invading iraq. for many reasons.
preeminently, i was hostile to the idea of amerika killing non-combatants, destroying another country. so as to make the bushit and the dick'em appear as if masters of the universe.
you may want to diss what i tell you about order of battle analysis, but when you do that, i pray that you will never be investing amerikan troops into a killing ground, because if you are keen on ignoring that, then you will be killing lots of amerikan troops.
which is exactly what occurred in vietnam. which is what has been occurring in iraq.
i opposed, oppose, this invasion of iraq. but i would prefer that the amerikan troops have a chance to survive and implement a peace. but, if order of battle considerations are going to be as ignored as they were in vietnam, then more amerikan troops are going to be killed, wounded, maimed; more iraqi noncombatants are going to be killed, wounded, maimed; more amerikan cash is going to go astray; more tarnishing of our star is going to occur.
and, these outcomes are all the results of ignoring order of battle issues.
i wonder, do you even understand the order of battle scenario?
Rumsfeld is the most intelligent Secretary of War WE'VE EVER HAD. Every word out of his mouth is poetry.
The thing about Rumsfeld is he is an asshole in ways we know, he is an asshole in ways we know we don't know, and an asshole in ways we don't know we don't know.
The universe is not only queerer than we imagine... it is queerer than we can imagine...

There are known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns and most importantly regarding the conduct of a war, UNKNOWN UNKNOWNS.
I'm a fucking D-list blogger appearing with A-list people, so I need all the goddamned help I can get. Shit, I'll even wear pants if it will gain me some blog cred.
Oh shit, nobody told me! A list people...
I dodn't even know there WAS a list.
BTW, did you get the email I sent to the panelists? It might not have gone thru...
i wonder, do you even understand the order of battle scenario?
Yeah, because I read Bill Lind and John Boyd.
the rest of us girls will distract Todd for you with stories of underpants....And short skirts.....don't forget the short skirts.
Schaaaaaaaaa-wing!
Certainly not me! Harrrrumph!
I didn't get a harrumph out of that guy!
Excuse me while I whip this thing out.
BTW, did you get the email I sent to the panelists? It might not have gone thru...
It doesn't appear so, which is weird since I've gotten other e-mails from you. Try resending to todd@hill.com. Oh, and don't attach any more porn--that keeps getting me in trouble.
just wondering....
will anyone notice the difference between a brain-damaged Harry Reid and a non-brain-damaged one?

Excuse me while I whip this thing out.
Also from the movie "My Favorite Year":
Hey! This (room's) for Ladies only!

Albert Champion operates a small factory in Texas that employs between 20 and 40 people. If you give him a ring, he'll give you the nickle and dime tour.
I hafta say, these local announcers for the Jets are such pantless H-O-M-E-R-S!

You are a model of humane compassion.
Tiffany
tiffany
catch a whiffany?
Smells like upwind
of Parsippany.
Ah! Mercaptins
Sulfurous captains
Lashed to the mast
Of refinery caste
Oil for one
and one for oil!
Bubble, double
trouble and toil
If profits
rise
Your ass can boil!
In the stewing, stygian mess
You'll find a place! you must confess
Whether tallow or biomass
We'll craft a masterpiece from your ass!
And some sacred SUV
Will indebted to you be.
Hail the crude petroleaneum
We'll craft the bills
But you can payum.
NTodd,
In all seriousness, fuck off!
No, really.
Just throw from the chest,dude.
You won't come off as a dick.
Every media person has run that gaunlet.
You'll surprise yourself.
That's when others need to worry.
The moon is full where I live.
Pull down yer kilt!

No, he'll fit right in with the Bush admin. Cheers, dickhead!

Hmmm... I sent it from my "real" email account, which is very prestigious, not that Yahoo crap. So you should be honored by that email you, uh, didn't get... uhhh... right.
And that wasn't porn! That was just some cute pictures of hamsters.
Oh, and don't attach any more porn--that keeps getting me in trouble.

Thers is sending porn to the panelists?
What kind of conference did I sign up for?
I thought there was gonna be Measured Debate and Serious Discussion?
What a smug little bitch on Maher.
I thought there was gonna be Measured Debate and Serious Discussion?
Yes, Measured and Serious: measured at 8 inches; serious debate about the merits of being 'cut'.
8 inches is too large for most women.
Phyllis Schafly is the queen mother of christian conservatives.
OK, the full moon is taking hold...
Measured debate?
Serious discussion?
Well just con Edison
by way of Metuchen.
For those on the right
On the dark side of night
Genius is 90% constipation
"We don't give a shit if we hoodwink the nation!"
They say in the crooked, gin-soaked back alleys
Where fleas flee the stench of their bile-filled tomalleys
Like lobsters their pincers reach out and hold tight
To the ass end of hell and the backside of fright
'Til their souls on the canvas of Dorian Grey
Like a black hole in search of its luminous prey
Douse the little that's left of the glimmer of day.
Yes, Measured and Serious: measured at 8 inches; serious debate about the merits of being 'cut'.
NTodd
JimmyJeff is on the panel?
Northwest airlines mechanics just went on strike, said the TV.
Betcha it's short.
