They believe in Hinduism in India but they still actually think learning science is a nifty idea.

It is'nt all aboput our kids shunning science. It's more about our/their ability to think clearly without some religious dogma getting in the way. I can see a day in about 20 years (if the race survives global warming, where science is so disbelieved that reversion to archaic ways is the norm. All except for the richest of the rich.

Conservatism means maintaining the status quo. The status quo in Iraq is a London subway bobming every week.
The only way to make sense of Iraq is to compare Saddam Hussein to Hitler. Hussein is a thug. Hitler was evil incarnate.

Gas prices affect every American, whether one drives a car or takes the subway. Our dominance is dependent on fuel costs.

bkny -- Can't abide Bill Maher and don't have cable or satellite tv anyway, but is Hackett's interview likely to get posted online anywhere?
One of the things that appeals to me most about Hackett is the genuineness. He reminds me of Dean in that way. Not the same personalities, but equally frank.
where are you seeing Chris Rock and schlafly? (And why would anyone willingly watch schlafly?)
'What, two conservatives vs. a comedian isn't that bad. '

THe hiigher the price goes, the wider the class differance. SOmeone made the point the other night, that it now takes somewhere in the vicinity of 40 dollars to fill the average tank. the minimum wage is what? 5.50? You do the math and figure that it will not take long for the weaker income levels to be pinched out of the American way. Maybe even forced out of existance altogether.

cs -- possibly crooksandliars. they're good about picking up good clips. and hackett was good. i agree w/you about what a dick maher is. he's got extreme issues with women -- white women he hates; black women he's fetishized.
back to hackett -- he was just so good. he should be giving media coaching tips to democrats. he really dominated maher -- which you could tell pissed him off, cause bill maher is such a smartypants.

And I cannot morally turn down trinkets and trash, especially since I gave up 75% of my former salary. Now, if faithful blog readers and podcast listeners bought me more stuff, then maybe I could wean myself from the teat of Corporate America. But in the meantime, I scrounge for food in dumpsters, returnable cans on the side of the road, and comix at DC and Marvel.

He buys and turns them over after only 6000 miles or so and the dealer, in an effort to keep him from buying and then selling them at a profit (most of the cars he aquires are limited run and available only to selected individuals chosen by Ferrari) offers to buy back the cars from him at the price purcased. So he always has the newest model Ferrari and it only costs him gas money and insurance for the time he keeps it.

i would love a deal like that (even though gas and insurance for a ferrari are not really all that cheap). lamborghinis are usually a little faster, but not quite as good looking, i don't think. plus the last few lamborghinis i have seen have been in all these weird colors. they are supposed to be yellow.

God, Chris Rock was drunk tonight on Mahr and let that bleach-blond vampire step all over him. And Schlaffly.... was she wearing a wig? Is that a byproduct of daily blood transfusions? *shiver* ... Not Mahr's best show by a long shot, but it's still good to have him back.
come on, guys, you know what they say about guys who have expensive hot rod cars!!
True! But a girl driving a hot rod car, on the other hand...
Romulus, had founded Rome and killed his brother Remus, in 753 BC. ...
Heh. I got a coloring book in Canada that was all about Ancient Rome. Such was my liberal upbringing...
Um...wait, which one founded Rome?

Yes. Lambos yellow. Ferraris Red, Porsches/Audis (Auto Union)/Mercedes Silver, Bugatti's that weird electric blue, Jags forest green.
It is just the way it si supposed to be.
That's good. And if anybody claims that NYMary's teats were collateral damage, just don't believe them...
Hee hee.
I never got the full thing with Hesiod, mostly just the aftermath. I was a Counterspin regular before an Eschaton one, so I like seeing him about, nostalgia, etc. But he is pretty tightly wound and always did have a tendency to get into, uh, unproductive arguments. Anyhoo, his ability to aggravate the hell out of Steven den Beste was always damn good blog-stuff...
David(Austin,Tx.).....I do know a guy (in the same clique) who's restoring a 250 2+2 but at the rate he works it'll be two years before he gets it done. As to the other guy paying, not.

And Schlaffly.... was she wearing a wig?
I loved watching her get all indignant over her gay son. Plus, I'm curious just what Constitution she was talking about; certainly not the U.S. one.
So...

Ferrari is the ultimate in socialism, a few rich people fund the enjoyment of millions around the world
Ripley.... I have an aquaintance (not in the same league so I don't call him "a friend") who has an arrangement with a Ferrari dealer in Conn. ( we live on L.I.). He buys and turns them over after only 6000 miles or so and the dealer, in an effort to keep him from buying and then selling them at a profit (most of the cars he aquires are limited run and available only to selected individuals chosen by Ferrari) offers to buy back the cars from him at the price purcased. So he always has the newest model Ferrari and it only costs him gas money and insurance for the time he keeps it.
Not a bad deal. It's good to be king!

Well, I have expensive hot rod cars, and I have to drive them really fast, usually about 40MPH over the speed limit. But that's all due to a medical condition, which I've mentioned before.

STUPID? The idea was advocated by the economist Von Paris. Do you believe in human integrity? YOU ARE THE WRONG KIND OF DEMOCRAT. Even Roosevelt entertained the idea of a guaranteed income.

Good Eleanor Clift article features these perfect words:
Sheehan has been latched on to by lots of groups, with the notable exception of the Democratic Party. The party as a whole is terrified of doing anything that would leave them vulnerable to accusations they’re not supporting the troops, or they’re weak on national security, so they don’t get into the debate in any memorable way. Their risk-averse tactics bring back memories of the Kerry campaign, which was so frightened of making a wrong step, they couldn’t make a right step.
That bolded part has me worried, though. Ms. Clift may get sued for copyright infringement by the DLC for stealing their slogan.
And Cobras and Mustangs in blue and white.

my wife had a freind, psychologist, took me for a ride in his lamborghini. holy freak'n hell. damn thing sputtered and coughed till you got it to 70 in SECOND gear. running through greenspring valley at 100 and i wasn't concerned a bit. olaf will probably know those is some curvy roads.
ferrari is a much prettier car.
Jags forest green.
That's 'British Racing Green', thank you.
There are car clubs in Britain where you can sign up and drive your choice of supercar around a track for a weekend. Damon Hill runs one...

I agree, though I think they were right this time to stay out of Crawford. What makes Cindy's protest so powerful is that it's not strictly politicized.
By the way, loved it tonight on Maher when the blonde wingnut hand-wringingly prayed that the Democrats wouldn't use Sheehan to raise money and Maher riposted with the politicizing of 9/11. They make it so easy sometimes, don't they?
So, anything important happen this week?
Schafly is OK with the constituion - except for the independent judiciary and the 1st and 9th amendments.
ANyone on the left coast swatching Maher should take in the JuHaul (NY to Miami- pretty funny) - the Hackett interview both at hte beginning- and the evolution/Intelligent Design rant at the end. The rest of the time is better spent on line.

Now, the supercar drive. I could go for that. Especially one owned by Damon Hill.

Don't. Ever. Call. Me. A Democrat.
What's more, I'm not entirely convinced FDR ever entertained the idea of a guaranteed income--he was no Socialist. Even if he were, I'm not.
Hesiod sure knows how to put folks on the defensive, though on the Sheehan issue he did adjust his position a bit. I looked on it as agit-prop and found it interesting. A lot of exchanges with trolls are kind of reflexive but some of the ones with Hesiod seemed more passionately personal -- or at least that's how they came through on my screen.
greenspring valley. yes. lovely winding roads. beautiful scenery. never had a car i would dare to do 70 on them though. course i never had a lamborghini thopugh. closest i came to that was a fiat.

guaranteed income for everyone. social welfare programs work best when there aren't lots of strings attached.
Chris Rock where's the "Rock" what a wasted choice, although he did zip off a few good ones...FFFFFFFFFFT!
It's a shame Damon Hill isn't quite the driver his father was. Glad to see he's maken a buck letting the average joe get a taste of the track.

'loved it tonight on Maher when the blonde wingnut hand-wringingly prayed that the Democrats wouldn't use Sheehan to raise money and Maher riposted with the politicizing of 9/11'
That was Maher's best moment on the show, that an his new rules are always great. I need to buy that book...
Good night!
I'm off to do "Civil War" re-enacting this weekend.
Well, I was asleep but my son came home and I woke up. Then, I decided to let the dogs go out back and pee. Instead of letting me put them on their leads, they dashed out the door into the night. So now I have to wait up for their return.
I've had at least two dreams about the internet. The first one I had was over a year ago. I met Kate Storm at the beach. The other one involved reading the threads on Eschaton. I'm not kidding.
unless it's a white convertible. then it should have a black roof. convertibles shouldn't be white though.
guaranteed income for everyone.
Better to guaranty a quality of life. Income would be too easily politicized.
Personally, I heard on the radio one day about the idea of a "maximum wage" that was indexed to the minimum and I thought that was a great idea. That way, any time the rich would like to get richer, the minimum wage has to be raised accordingly.
My dad... owns a dealership.
I wonder if anyone has started a club to do Vietnam War re-enacting. Doesn't it sound like fun? Get really high and sit in a swamp. Wear authentic uniforms complete with a necklace of human ears? Frag an officer. Good times!
i also believe that all convertibles should have white rooves. there is just something really stylish about that.
Olaf glad and big
Technically they could be called "rag tops"
And, personally I think only E-type Jags should have a white rag top.
All others should be black.
Execpt for a British Racing Green Aston Martin, MG, or Triumph soft top, then the only acceptable color for those would be tan.
Just my opinion.
"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."
Wow. This post at digby is really, really depressing.

Damon Hill, much like Jacques Villeneuve is only a shell of what his father was.
However, unlike Villeneuve, Damon Hill was almost as good as his father. I blame it all on Schumacher.

It's a shame Damon Hill isn't quite the driver his father was. Glad to see he's maken a buck letting the average joe get a taste of the track.
Good luck to him! But I must say he's one of the least talented World Champion that I can recall. I saw a replay of the 95 Belgium Grand Prix recently and it reminded me why I never rated Damon as a good driver. It took him a lap and a half to pass Schumacher in the rain when he had rain tires and Shumacher was on slicks. At Spa.
Schumacher was sliding all over the track (which no doubt the Schumacher haters would interpret as deliberate blocking) but it was in the rain on slicks at freaking Spa-Francorchamps. Hill had multiple opportunities to get by but couldn't until Schumacher finally slid off the track at Les Combes.
NTodd is afraid to call himself a Democrat? What the fuck is that about.
Heck, Damon Hill did the 'star in a reasonably priced car' lap on Top Gear a couple of months back, and after not driving a car in anger for years, he posted a lap-time that was two seconds faster than the fastest celeb.

ditto on the digby post.
I think I finally started to lose my innocence when I went online about 4 yrs ago and discovered the comment threads at yahoo! re the Enron debacle.
So many nutcases blaring about how the gov't was screwing such a worthy enterprise...
It was about then that I realized,
"these people are NOT from my planet.
But I'm stuck with them..."

How do you all think the dems can counter that? Hold rallies of their own?
Yes I am a Schu hater. And yes, he was blocking.
I'm sure Schumacher was making the most of the situation, but c'mon! he was on slicks in the rain at Spa & even Schu's evilness can't counteract the laws of physics!

i don't really follow racing, but my father does. he's not a schumacher hater, but he is sort of tired of the guy. probably kind of like the way i was tired of the 49ers back in the 80s.

ALso I really did that so my wingnut wife would get some sense of whats really going on. But she wont read it. So , for me, it's really missing it's target.
Schumacher is kind of a freak of nature. He's a hell of a driver to be sure, but I just can't warm up to him for some reason.
F1 as far as I'm concerned will always be Jackie Stewart, Jimmy Clark and Graham Hill. I guess I'm showing my age.
BTW, I saw a picture of Stewarts living room in one of his homes (in France) and he has one of his F1 cars hanging over (actually on) the fire place. Awesome.

Plainly evidenced due to my slow reading and typing.
It's interesting that there seem to be two groups of people. People who detest Republicans, and people who are absolutely proud of being a Republican.
I'M A DEMOCRAT, AND ALWAYS WILL BE. SIMPLY DECLARING THAT TO FAMILY OR FRIENDS CAN HAVE A MAJOR INFLUENCE. BUT YOU ARE ALL COWARDS.
Old Man,
As I recall it, Schumacher was clearly holding up Hill, and despite fighting for position, it was clear that Schumacher was creating a dangerous situation for both himself and Hill. Both of them are lucky that Schumacher didn't hydroplane and kill himself or both he and Hill.
I don't begrudge Schumacher his driving ability. It is just that I think he is too much like Nigel Mansell, in that he gets dangerous when he is in the position where he feels that he is entitled to the lead, and is unwilling to give it up, to the point where most sensible race car drivers would move over in the name of safety. That and don't like him or the attitude he puts out.
STY-
Chill out man...
Schumacher is kind of a freak of nature. He's a hell of a driver to be sure, but I just can't warm up to him for some reason.
I agree. I totally understand why people don't like him (although from what I know, he's actually a fairly nice guy in person) but some of the anti-Schumacher sentiment is way over the top IMO. But like Olaf said its easy to get tired of someone who wins all the time.
I'm too young to remember the Hill, Stewart, Clark era so for me Senna will always be the greatest. The whole Senna vs. Prost thing was magic.

It's interesting that there seem to be two groups of people. People who detest Republicans, and people who are absolutely proud of being a Republican.
I think it boils down to this:
People who think "I'm a good person, a good American, a good citizen. I do good things and don't do bad things." are Republicans.
People who think "That person needs help, that person needs a voice, that person needs equality, that person deserves Peace." are Democrats.
If you're considering a two party system...
The other one involved reading the threads on Eschaton. I'm not kidding.
mer,
It's like playing too much "Tetris" isn't it?
I've dreamed about people here before, notably Mary and Thers. Dunno why. And I just got done playing a ton of Rotoblox, a nice tetris game. Think I'm gonna buy it. Nice skins and stuff.
I've come back here after playing Tetris and wound up reading comments, looking at the white space between lines and wondering what would fit in there. Um, it's really late, isn't it?
sty, we're not all cowards. and most of us are democrats. the problem is that the democratic party is bought and paid for by the same people who bankroll the republican party. my purpose in remaining a democrat is to help transform the party into a truly progressive force, which it is not at this time.

In the meantime, I'll continue under the delusion that I agree with George Washington.

Um, it's really late, isn't it?
yeah, it is. I should think about rolling out the old kit.
In this entire century the Democratic Party has never
been invested with power on the basis of a program
which promised to keep things as they were. We have
won when we pledged to meet the new challenges of each
succeeding year. We have triumphed not in spite of
controversy, but because of it; not because we avoided
problems, but because we faced them. We have won, not
because we bent and diluted our principles, but because
we stood fast to the ideals which represent the most
noble and generous portion of the American spirit.

contemplate what he said back then.
contemplate why no one is relating these truths now.
smalfish, I'm with driftglass on this one. The "moderate" repubs have been perfectly happy with the "hijacking" so long as it keeps democrats on the outs. So IMHO they suck major dick as well.

I think I've found a conservative blog that is the true abyss... and staring into it... it is staring back at me. I don't know whether to post the link, or be merciful.
As I recall it, Schumacher was clearly holding up Hill, and despite fighting for position, it was clear that Schumacher was creating a dangerous situation for both himself and Hill. Both of them are lucky that Schumacher didn't hydroplane and kill himself or both he and Hill.
Sure Schumacher was holding up Hill! Hill had a much faster car becuase he had rain tires. However I don't think its the job of the race leader to make it easy for the second place car to pass him.
From what I saw on the replay I can't see how Schumacher's driving was in anyway dangerous, he was making the most of the situation he was in. It did, however, show up Hill's lack of passing ability. (Why do you think Frank Williams fired him right after he won the World Championship?)
I don't detest rebublicans, I detest the hijacking of a political party by religious zealots, who insist on forcing an insane agenda on the majority.

Unfortunately, and/or fortunately I know people who identify as Republican of both stripes.
The religious fundi whack jobs, and the "sensible" Repubicans (those that embrace real conservative values, not religious right values). They are like night and day.

I think that many moderate Republicans are in denial about how the religious zealots have taken over their party. They really don't realize how bad it is (don't ask me how they can't see this). The Dems really need to convince these voters otherwise, and gain their trust...

like i say, i don't follow racing, but my father does and i watch it with him sometimes. what i think is hilarious is that he hates nascar. (well, not really. he would eagerly watch people race chevettes. he's kind of a race junkie.) but he says nascar has the slowest cars and the least skillful drivers of any type of racing. he calls it "antique car racing" due to the requirement that the engines have carbureters and pushrods, which no production car has had for over 20 years.
I haven't heard any rethugs that I can think of speak out against the viscious rhetoric or the physical atrocities of the last FIVE YEARS. It seems a reasonab;e conclusion that even the "moderates" are on board with dividing this society. So fucking be it. As far as I'm concerned, every goddamn last one of them can burn in the hell of their imagination.

You should change your name to Sisyphus. Good luck.
Old Man,
I didn't know Williams fired him. I thought that it was a combination of Hill asking for more money and David Richards offering him that amount.
I agree, Schumacher can and does make his car very wide when he needs to, and he is the master of stepping right up to the line on blocking, and not crossing it. I guess after watching Martin Brundle's accident in the '96 Australian Grand Prix, Panis breaking both legs in the '97 Canadian Grand Prix, and Schumacher's accident in the '99 British Grand Prix, I look more at the safety aspect.
Of course, nothing beats watching Juan Manuel Fangio and Tazio Nuvolari in their cars, which were the ultimate in dagerous auto racing.
Damn, that Tequila is working overtime.

kitty in peril story:
Lucky Kitty Survives Jolt, Fire, Fall
August 19,2005 | GARDNERVILLE, Nev. -- A stalking foray atop a power pole left a lucky feline jolted, frizzled and dazed but otherwise OK after he fell off the 40-foot pole and sparked a fire outside a fire house.
The frazzled cat was discovered when paramedic-firefighters Andrew Chrzanowski and Jeremy Hall responded to the fire Wednesday morning after the lights went out at the Topaz Ranch Estates fire house.
"When we got the fire knocked down we saw this burned cat close to the base of the pole," Hall said.
They assumed it was dead until Chrzanowski noticed it was breathing. He put it on a blanket and gave it oxygen.
"We both thought that with the amount of burns he had he wasn't going to make it, but then we started to look more closely and we saw it was all superficial," Hall said. "The fire just burned all his hair off."
The firefighters believe the cat was on the pole, because a bird's nest was found on top and there was a large black spot where something had touched a relay switch on the 25,000-volt line.
Animal Control officer Janet Duzan took the cat to Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital, where Veterinarian Steve Talbot said it should make a full recovery.
"The doctor said it looks like he was in a flash fire and got singed from head to toe," Duzan said.
The cat will be put up for adoption if it is not claimed by its owner, she said.

I thought that it was a combination of Hill asking for more money and David Richards offering him that amount.
Its true that Damon wanted more money and that Dave Richards gave him that money, but Frank Williams didn't think Hill was worth the money he was already paying him. Sir Frank is notorious for valuing the car over the driver, and in Hill's case he was correct IMO.

Which is equivalent to the he said, she said reporting we see every day. You don't get it, Republicans win because they get people to identify with them. It is important for successful people to make clear where they stand, to convey to people that it's ok to be a democrat.
Olaf g&b...... I kind of agree with your father. Any race that just goes round and round in circles ain't really a race in my book no matter how fast they go. Of course NASCAR does have a couple of road races in their schedule like last week at Watkins Glen. That's not bad. As far as technology goes, I own a Shelby Cobra with a NASCAR motor (built by Ernie Elliot. Bill's brother. 427 stroker,dry sump, carbureted and 9500 rpm redline). I'll put it up against anything on the road until about 175 mph at which point the aerodynamics kind of fall apart. But I still don't like NASCAR.

BTW, remember this morning's explosion in San Francisco? Turns out terrorists were responsible - corporate terrorists!
An irate Mayor Gavin Newsom demanded Friday that Pacific Gas and Electric Co. inspect hundreds of underground electrical transformers after one exploded beneath Kearny Street in San Francisco's Financial District, badly injuring a woman.
The blast at 9:54 a.m. tossed a sidewalk manhole cover 30 feet, buckled two foot-thick concrete covers of the transformer vault at Kearny and Post streets, shattered windows in the Crocker Galleria shopping center and started a small fire. A 40-year-old woman walking on Kearny suffered burns to her head and neck and was hospitalized in critical condition.
...officials soon focused on the PG&E vault 12 feet beneath the street and concluded that one of the three 24-year-old transformers inside had exploded.
The cause of the blast was unknown late Friday. But Newsom said it was part of a pattern of PG&E shoddiness that has caused problems for the city in the past couple of years, including two fires at one substation that knocked out power to large parts of the city for hours.
"Enough is enough. Excuses be damned, there will be accountability,'' Newsom said after inspecting the area and meeting with PG&E officials. "It's not good enough to say, 'I'm sorry.' They need to take this very seriously.''
The mayor said he wants PG&E to inspect "every vault, and there are hundreds of them," to "make certain our streets are safe."
It didn't help Newsom's mood that an unrelated incident knocked out power Friday to 2,400 customers, including some city offices. "This equipment needs to be secure and safe,'' he said.
Jeff Butler, PG&E's senior vice president for electric transmission and distribution, met with Newsom about the blast.
He said such a large transformer explosion "was something we haven't seen before'' and expressed sympathy for the injured woman as well as inconvenienced businesses in the area.
"We take every outage, every incident very seriously,'' he said. "I fully understand the mayor's concerns."
He added, however, that the utility will hold off on inspecting other vaults until it determines what went wrong with the 1981-vintage transformer at Post and Kearny.
PG&E officials said that such transformers, which change electricity from one voltage to another, have a life expectancy of 40 years and that under state law the utility is required to inspect them annually. Paul Moreno, a spokesman for PG&E, said the transformer beneath Kearny was inspected within the last year, although he didn't know an exact date.
Newsom questioned PG&E's reliability in March after a fire at a substation at Eighth and Mission streets knocked out power to 22,000 customers. He called that a "deja vu" of a fire at the same substation the weekend before Christmas in 2003, which left more than 100,000 customers without power and cost stores millions of dollars in lost holiday shopping revenue.
I esp. like this part:
The staff of the state Public Utilities Commission has recommended that PG&E be fined $10 million for the 2003 fire, which the utility conceded had burned for two hours before someone noticed it. PG&E has already paid $2.3 million in customer compensation...
Susan Leal, head of the city's Public Utilities Commission, echoed Newsom's concerns and said Friday's blast reinforced her desire to "aggressively look at alternatives'' so the city can reduce its ties with PG&E. For instance, she said, her agency is considering ways to bring public power to Treasure Island and the old Hunters Point shipyard.
"We've tried to be cooperative with PG&E,'' she said, "but they aren't being cooperative.''
BTW, 'wear' = 'where' in the current temporal-spatial dimension I'm stuck in.
Or glad that she has sensitive kneecaps.
In high school it wasn't really that much of an issue until the Holy Communion debacle.

Probably for the same reason I still hold out hope for David Coulthard to do well.
I've gained a lot of respect for DC since he left McLaren. Sure Damone (and DC) are likeable people, but at this level of competetion I wonder if the "nice guy" has what it takes to be a true champion. Senna had his fair share of detractors for his on track antics...
Just imagine if Senna were still around, how different the conversation would be.
No doubt. Senna and Ratzenberger were the only drivers killed since I've been a hard core F1 fan & I don't know if I'd have had the stomach for it in earlier times when driver deaths were more frequent. I certainly couldn't muster much interest in 1995 as it was.

My hardcore interest in F1 doesn't go back much further than 1993, but I have always had a passing interest in it for as long as I can remember. Jackie Stewart, the John Player Special, that insane turbine car. Some of my favorite movies growing up were Grand Prix, with James Garner, and Le Mans with Steve McQueen. They just whet my appetite for racing beyond NASCAR.

Is Dolly Parton antiwar?
Performing at Radio City Music Hall, the country singer brought down the house with a pointed version of "Blowin' in the Wind."
- - - - - - - - - - - -
By Rebecca Traister
Aug. 19, 2005 | NEW YORK -- As goes Dolly, so goes the South?
Call me crazy, but at a Meadowlands concert last November, it had crossed my mind that Dolly Parton -- proud fake flower of the South -- might have been flirting with quasi-political statement. In the midst of her half-dozen costume changes, flashing lights, waving American flags and medley of greatest hits, she had paused to talk about her memories of the 1960s before launching into treacly and overproduced versions of Kris Kristofferson's "Me & Bobby McGee" and John Lennon's "Imagine." I can't explain it, but it felt significant at the time -- intentional, pointed. Then again, in those weeks, it felt like weather forecasts and movie listings were telegraphing coded messages of post-election woe.
But on Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall, it seemed that maybe I had been on to something in November. Parton performed in New York on the second stop of her "Vintage" tour to promote the October release of "Those Were the Days," an album of covers from the 1960s and 1970s, including songs by Lennon, Kristofferson, Cat Stevens, Judy Collins and Bob Dylan.
By comparison with last fall, the show was practically Spartan: no costume changes, no medleys, not so many spotlight pyrotechnics. Parton sang full, gorgeous renditions of songs like "Smoky Mountain Memories" and "Coat of Many Colors," as well as the poppier "9 to 5" and "Here You Come Again." Sure, she was clad in a dress of many rhinestones, and there were the requisite boob jokes. But there were also the reminiscences about her good friend Jane Fonda. And her well-worn memories of a poor upbringing in Tennessee, how her "mama always had one [baby] on her and one in her," were accompanied on Thursday by an unfamiliar nostalgia for "the old hippie days" of the 1960s.
About an hour into the show, Parton picked up a guitar that looked like it had lost a fierce battle with a Bedazzler and began to talk in earnest about that old-time activism. "I didn't necessarily agree with all the politics of that time," she said, "but I think a lot of the things they were talking about -- like peace and freedom -- are about as American as apple pie." She then performed the Byrds' "Turn, Turn, Turn."
And she wasn't done. Barely pausing for breath, she moved to Dylan, talking about how important it was that he had sung songs that had mattered to the country. She'd recently been listening to his antiwar classic "Blowin' in the Wind," she said, and had thought, "Well this song is about what's going on right now! I've got to record this."
Parton's live cover of "Blowin' in the Wind" should probably have been cringe-inducing, but it wasn't. Stripped down to Parton's powerful pipes and a guitar, it worked. And she definitely enunciated particular verses, especially the questions "How many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry? And how many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?" Parton, who had perfect silence for the first half of the song, finished it to a massive standing ovation from the New York crowd. And however unlikely the messenger, it was almost impossible to imagine the lyrics being about anything other than a direct message to George W. Bush.
Parton's final protest song was "Imagine," which she prefaced by wishing that John Lennon had lived to see whether we would ever have peace. "I don't know that we ever will have it," she said with a casual laugh, "'cause we seem to like to fight a lot, I guess. But I still think it's something we can hope for and that we should hope for." The cover was much better than it had been in November, and she asked the audience to sing along to the song's final plea that "the world will live as one." I had really cheap seats, but I'm pretty sure she flashed a peace sign.
Parton, 59, will probably never appear on a "Vote for Change" lineup; she cannot afford to go all Dixie Chicks on her red-state fan base. And her performance Thursday didn't necessarily convince me that she would want to. A longtime interpreter of Scottish folk, bluegrass and mountain music, Parton may just have turned her attention to a more recent genre of grass-roots melody. But it's pretty telling timing, and Parton is a very, very smart woman.
Whatever her politics, she was careful to remind her New York audience that she was still a mountain girl at heart. The granddaughter of a Pentecostal preacher, she happily talked about her faith, and made a point of finishing up the show with her post-9/11 song "Hello, God."
But even that upbeat spiritual fit the mood of her show. Here's how it goes:
This old world has gone to pieces
Can we fix it, is there time?
Hate and violence just increases
We're so selfish, cruel and blind
We fight and kill each other
In your name, defending you
Do you love some more than others?
We're so lost and confused
…
Hello God, we beseech you
In the name of all that’s true
Hello God, please forgive us
For we know not what we do.

Given Tom DeLay's apparent vulnerability due to ethics questions and redistricting, what are the Constitution Party's plans for challenging him in 2006? Has there been an increase in donations to the Constitution Party because of Mr. DeLay's constant presence in the news, as well as his continuing inability to outlaw abortion, gay marriage, and the "right-to-die"?

We do have plans to run candidates in 2006.

Re: Dolly Parton... back in the old days of "country rock" (the early 70s), she was a real hippie fave... I remember reading a Chet Flippo story in Creem about seeing her when she was working with Porter Waggoner and how "hip" they all thought she was... and let's not forget her turn with Jane Fonda in "9 to 5"!
"I advocated nuking Mecca and Medina in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. To me, that would have been a proportional response--their two most important cities in exchange for ours. And it would have put every Muslim in the world on notice that if you f*ck with America we will make you wish you had never been born. It would have greatly clarified matters.....The life expectancy of a muslim in America after a WMD attack will be right up there with that of a mayfly.
Truer words were never spoken. But the shit will really hit the fan if the PC government tries to prosecute patriotic Americans for "hate crimes" when we do our duty and kill the enemy."

I just love the people who assume impeaching Bush is some kind of radical notion. The man... aaaaargh.
There's probably more support for impeaching Bush in the 'non-kool kids' set than there ever was for Clinton. CNN is fooling less and less people all the time.

At this point (remembering the bottle of wine), I don't think censoring ourselves is useful. It is time to say what we think, and let the chips fall where they may. Impeaching Bush is a logical step from supporting Cindy Sheehan (since she is asking "No WMD, no democracy, no stability in the Mid-East, then why?")
The reich wing doesn't self-censor. Media savvy means bitch-slapping the media until they say what you want them to say.

Great post, Scout Prime. Atticus would be proud.
The main meme the corporate media seems to be following is to create the notion there there is an "anti-war" movement of a 60's style--wild-eyed radicals bent on destroying the fabric of our country (of course, that, too, was a construct of the media back then).
Anything to keep from the reality that, despite the presence of groups like MoveOn, this is a grassroots reaction--people are responding to their revulsion that has been building for months and months.
These are not folks who want to destroy capitalism or undo the Constitution or whatever insane "culture war" notions that pundits seem to pull out of their posteriors.
They want the insanity to stop.
Everyone has an agenda, and outside the Crawford ranchette and among us, that agenda is to save our country from those that are bringing it to its knees.
The right wing doesn't self-censor. The media censors for them. It's not a level playing field. Or even a flat one.
He's not trying to be difficult he's just stupidly doing things that make things confused. I don't know where he's going at any moment.
I will now take off my dominatrix ensemble and shut up.
Oh, boo. You look so fetching!
Seebach, I went to the site you linked eeew
By nature (not necessarily by nurture, though that helps), a woman is typically more emotional. Women, by nature, are nurturers. Men and women were made to complement each other...man and woman provides a balance if you will. That's why same-sex couples should NEVER be allowed to adopt--the balance isn't there and the child is cheated.
[snip]
And if the coat-hanger abortion argument is brought up, let me point out that a) legalizing abortion never made it safe and b) if you injure/kill yourself because you tried to kill another human being (unborn baby in this case), it's your fault, it's not the government's. Personal responsibility, anyone?
Anything to keep from the reality that, despite the presence of groups like MoveOn, this is a grassroots reaction--people are responding to their revulsion that has been building for months and months.
MoveOn IS a grassroots organization. That's why they're so hell-bent on smearing it.

It's not a level playing field. Or even a flat one.
Which reminds me, I saw a Rasmussen poll out today that showed the public evenly divided over Cindy Sheehan.
Funny that, when the reports back from vigils repeatedly told tales of overwhelming support among passers by/pedestrians. Most vigils had zero or one counterprotester, the largest contigent being the DC chapter of freepers which were still vastly outnumbered.
If we have any chance of knowing what the true public sentiment is come election time, we need to mobilize our own polling. I have no idea how it could be set up or if it's even possible, but I've lost all faith in honest polling.
no imagination and Seebach, the Constitution Party presents a golden opportunity to wedge the social conservatives (Xtian fundamentalists) from the corporatists.
If I had the money, I would go work with the TX Constitution Party in TX to unseat Tom DeLay.
But that's just me.
There's probably more support for impeaching Bush in the 'non-kool kids' set than there ever was for Clinton. CNN is fooling less and less people all the time.
There was a poll by one of the mainstream outfits to this effect a month or so ago, or about whenever Rove was fingered as the Plame smearer. I forget the details and I'm not looking it up now, but the poll showed that there was as much support for impeaching Shrub then as there was for removing Clinton at the height of that clown-show.
In other words, we KNOW that even without an organized movement to impeach Shrub, as many Americans consider it as reasonable an idea as they ever did about Clinton. But with Clinton, it wasn't some wacky-fringe group fantasy to the SCLM -- as it with Shrub, for some mysterious reason... hmmm....
