HULK SMASHED
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."
combining two of mad king george's stellar moments.

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"...
Lance Armstrong gets to ride behind Bush for the duration of his visit. - watertiger
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...
Lance Armstrong gets to ride behind Bush for the duration of his visit.
Will Bush be smirking that he has more balls than Lance?
Dear Leader's thought for the day is about who is going to take responsiblity for Iraq... click on homepage.
Old Man From Scene 24 - you and I both know that the Earth is banana-shaped...
Watching "Murder at 1600" on HBO On Demand - least bad of the TV offerings... and Alan Alda as a snarky Natl Sec Adviser. If only, if only...
Not much call out there for "Intelligent Design Theorists"...
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!
My girlfriend's from Muskego, but she lives here in NYC now. All her kinfolk are fine though.

indeed and sheep's bladders can be used to prevent earthquakes. I'm sure Haliburton has a multi-million dollar contract to look into that one already.

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' 
Old Man From Scene 24 - you and I both know that the Earth is banana-shaped..
Tell me again how sheeps' bladders can be employed to predict earthquakes?
Hey, congrats again to Scout Prime! Most excellent news.
Diane. Lane.
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...
Is nudity mandatory on this thread?

You just can't be trusted, can you?
WalterNeff:

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.

Science does not INCLUDE faith. Thank you.
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...
Isn't there a world champion fencer who'd like to go down to Crawford and fence with that little bitch?
Hecate
The problem is Bunnypants would make her fence with one hand tied behind her back.
The one holding the foil.
Oh, and congrats from this corner as well, scout prime. 
Diane. Lane.
Fell in love with her in Lonesome Dove, and never looked back.

I'd buy one of those Livestrong bracelets if Armstrong sticks his airpumop into Bush's spokes while racing downhill
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.
First I'd like to thank the woman who got me started in this crazy bizness...watertiger...this is for you

It doesn't mean anything, I swear! I just wanted a trip to Atlanta. And the free liquor in First Class.
Is nudity mandatory on 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.
oh sure the counter say 3 and there are like 33 posts in here already, probably 53 by the time i finish typing.

Waking up from a nice nap...
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.
You are much to valuable.
I love your posts.

What the hell do you say to this? "May your fucking god forgive you?" These are the people I had to fight on the road today, just to get home. Rot in hell, you fucking rethug "christians".

that is the stupidest thing i've ever heard.
and my congrats. to scout prime as well.
god, that doesn't even make sense.
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.
I had to endure a guy at work today asking me how on earth I could get through life without prayer.
My answer was "beer."
For some reason, this ticked him off.
Do I go into the light? Or stay away from the light...
I think the key thing here is, if you see Buck Henry - RUN!
Just remembered: On the way to work this morning, I saw this big van. Wasn't really paying attention, but could have sworn for a second it read Ultra Clean Pants Washer.
It actually read "Parts Washer." Musta had NTodd on the brain.
But after I was saved, I realized the Republican beliefs are me so I switched and I'm glad I did.

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.
GWPDA,
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!
You will remain my original "Auntie GWPDA," won't you? And is Arthur still my original cousin? It would be heartbreaking to know otherwise.
I had to endure a guy at work today asking me how on earth I could get through life without prayer.
Oy. Beer is a good answer.
It's a lot nicer than mine, which would have been something like, "I have no problems except when religious whackdoodles start bugging me."
TAGS!
Bloody Hell!
I'll be disappointed if there's not the occasional ABBA tune playing when (if) I get there...

I know, and that always pissed me off. But sometimes I've been able to get the flight attendants to give me my own bottle of red--even have gotten to take it with me, which is 'specially easy to achieve when stranded overnight.
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."¯ 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!
