Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the president exclaims. "That's terrible!" His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the president sits, head in hands.
Finally, president looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

Just in case anyone was worried, yes - everyone in Arizona is feeling guilty as anything - we're sitting here in this pleasant pseudo-fall weather, no rain, no snow, no tornadoes, hurricaines, death, destruction.... We're really sorry about not being able to suffer with you all. Please accept our apologies for locating in the low desert and not being particularly vulnerable at this time. I'm sure it'll even out eventually. Feel free to move here and relax.

Any of you going down to DC, please beware of the Protest Warrior punks. There was a little protest yesterday here at UIC and some of them showed up, first joining the protestors but disrupting things by chanting what they think a "commie liberal" would chant (like "kill the jews"), and then just generally pushing and shoving. There were about 80-100 protestors and maybe 8 Protest Warriors, two of whom got their asses beat pretty bad, but a couple of the good guys got arrested for doing the ass-beating. They were also claiming to be going to DC tomorrow, but I doubt if these kids could cross state lines legally.

Why did the FDA commish resign?
The most recent scandal involved the delay of approval of emergency contraception. As MarketWatch put it today:
An FDA advisory panel had approved over-the-counter sales of Plan B in 2003. Although the FDA is not bound to advisory panel decisions, it generally abides by them, and usually issues a final decision within a few months.
Crawford was confirmed by the Senate after he agreed the FDA would issue a final decision on Plan B by Sept. 1.
Instead, on Aug. 26, the FDA announced that while it saw a scientific basis for allowing over-the-counter sales for women 17 or older, it would have to hold public hearings on the issue before it could render a formal decision.
The announcement enraged senators who had voted for Crawford with the understanding a final decision would be issued by Sept. 1. Fueling the controversy was the sudden departure of the FDA's assistant commissioner for women's health, Susan Wood. A longtime FDA employee, Wood resigned on Aug. 31 in protest of the delay.
Two days later, 13 senators formally asked the nonpartisan Government Accounting Office to release a study it had been conducting on why the FDA had delayed ruling on Plan B.

The FDA is dragging it's ass about the "morning after pill" because the rabid rightwing religious freaks like James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, et. al., have the ear of the depraved moron, Bushboy.
Just like Bushboy & the Goopers deny global warming and force the EPA to deny the science, they do the same thing to the FDA claiming "dangers" that are non-existent in the pill.
Bushboy & the Goopers aren't about doing what is best for the American people, they're about doing what's best for their patrons and rich Special Interests!

They were in a meeting discussing a bad loan, and the former state legislator said, in all seriousness: "Why don't we just put him in jail?" Stopped the meeting cold. My dad finally said: "um, I think we fought a revolution about that."

I mean, could this man be any more useless than he already is? If he were replaced by ventriloquist's dummy that sat in Karl Rove's lap, I doubt that we would even notice the difference. Forget about incompetence, at this point it seems to me that he serves no useful function whatsoever, even to promote his own causes.

i was thinking abt naming a band Tom Friedman but OT:
"""""In a draft of the budget bill, Pombo offered a list of alternatives that might force even ANWR's most ardent opponents to pick drilling in ANWR instead.
The document proposes selling public park lands in Alaska, Arizona, California, Massachusetts, South Dakota, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Texas for energy and commercial development. The 15 areas are mostly smaller national parks that honor war heroes or historical sites.
It also proposes raising money by selling advertising on Park Service brochures and maps, seeking commercial sponsors for Park Service auditoriums, museums and trails, and allowing gas and oil leasing on the outer Continental Shelf.
Under congressional rules, ANWR drilling could be authorized if the Resources Committee relies on revenue from the drilling in its so-called budget "reconciliation" document.""""""

He is the ultimate compulsive artist.
Some of works:
A huge spiral--he wrote his name in a circular pattern with a pen until the ink ran out... It just fades away towards the middle.
And: A huge piece of paper on which he wrote every single work in the English language.
And: A piece called "hot balls." An artistically arranged bunch of balls of different sizes, each one of which had been stolen by the artist over the course of 6 months.

Weekend with the redneck refugees, Part IIa.
The refugees went tubing this afternoon, and a cloud of peace desceded on the house.
Then they returned and within minutes, chaos descended. Despite being warned that I was trying to keep our two remaining cats locked inside the house, they let one of them out within five minutes of coming back to the hosue.
Then a half hour later, one of them twisted our hot water faucet off and stripped the pipe so it was stuck ON.
Repairs have ensued, a trip to Home Depot has been mounted.
The escaped cat has not returned. I doubt we'll see her for an hour or more.

Brief OT rant to follow. From the dKos front page:
Update [2005-9-23 20:8:45 by Armando]: From the diaries by Armando, with some additions. My reaction may surprise some folks, because I have been deeply critical of Leahy. I like that Obama is standing up for his fellow Dem Senator. Too often, Democratic elected officials spend time criticizing each other. I think they should find ways to express disagreement without going after each other. I think folks like us and advocacy groups are a different story. And I think, on the merits, Obama's comment is way off the mark. But still, I respect his impulse to defend a fellow Dem Senator.
Its not fucking about you Armando. Its about Roberts and why some Democrats feel the need to cave - THAT'S the story. I don't fucking care how anything relates to what you said a day, or a week before. Jesus Christ, you self-obsessed motherfucker. I'm waiting, with baited breath, your commentary on how you said two days ago Rita would be a Cat 2, and how right you were. Grrrrrrrrrrr... *grinding of teeth*

The Reed column is interesting, but I have to take exception with his characterization of progressives/liberals as being committed to "the primacy of corporate and investor-class interests". Unless he means MBideNA and Joementum are liberals.
I know that some progressives believe this incident will mark a turning point in American politics. Perhaps, especially if gas prices continue to rise. I suspect, however, that this belief is only another version of the cargo cult that has pervaded the American left in different ways for a century: the wish for some magical intervention or technical fix that will substitute for organizing a broad popular base around a clearly articulated, alternative vision that responds to most people's pressing concerns. The greater likelihood is that within a month Democratic liberals will have smothered the political moment just as they've smothered every other opportunity we've had since Ronald Reagan's election. True, Nancy Pelosi and others finally began to bark at the Bush Administration's persisting homicidal negligence. But my hunch is that, as with Iran/contra, the theft of the 2000 election and the torrent of obvious lies that justified the war on Iraq, liberals' fear of seeming irresponsibly combative and their commitment to the primacy of corporate and investor-class interests will lead them to aid and abet the short-circuiting of whatever transformative potential this moment has.

Why are Democrats so Violent?
I've said it before, but it's just one of those things that can't be said often enough. Democrats are fucking crazy. They're irrational. They're violent. They're great at PR, though. As I showed in this thread they've managed to fool their base. Hell, they've managed to fool themselves. Don't believe me? Go to Eschaton sometime and fuck with the moonbats. Gordon does it all the time. It doesn't take much poking before their true colors come out.
Moonbats are like sheep. They stand around in groups bleating the same catch phrases. You know the one's I mean. You've heard them. "Republicans are bigots". "Republicans are haters." "Republicans kill innocent Iraqis for oil." Blah blah blah. Not surprisingly, the opposite is more true. Democrats love terrorists more than Americans. Democrats are violent. Democrats are haters. Still don't believe me? Then you haven't poked the moonbats at Eschaton with a stick yet.
Gordon mentioned Michelle Malkin's name to the moonbats. Can you guess what the response was from that group of patriots? Here's just a few samples of what those level headed lovers of America had to say at the mere mention of her name:
Sally says: "Someone needs to offer to rape Malkin with a reinforced steel dildo heated to 300F." Wait.....aren't liberals for tolerance? Is this the same Sally that laments the pain the Iraqis are suffering? She wants to see Malkin raped? Maybe she was joking. What do her cohorts have to say?
This rational moonbat agreed with her. "Fuckin' A-right. She's got it coming. If it wasn't for idiot wingnuts like Gordon, she'd be doing 4 ping-pong ball shows a night in a Bangkok whorehouse. There's not a got-damn thing that could be said about her bad enough for what she does daily here in the country she hates."
The chicago dyke doesn't advocate violence, "i just hate violence against women, all women, even dumb fascist cunts who "deserve" it."
Gordon doesn't really believe they're serious at the point, so he asks. Their response?
At least one level headed moonbat is. "TOTALLY! With a big BROOMSTICK! But only after she's legally arrested and put in the internment camp. Rule of law, and all that..."
NTodd doesn't just want to rape Malkin, though. He has a list:
here's the rape sequence:
1) You
2) Your striped bass
3) Your mother
4) Your masturbatory fantasy, Malkin
5) Your pygmy marmoset, Martin
Why advocate rape? Aren't they progressive? Haven't the liberals been whining about Robers and his lack of support for women's rights? Again, not NTodd. "Because women are chattel, especially Filipino's with nasty big pointy teeth who advocate the internment of American citizens based purely on their heritage. "
These are just the moonbats with blogs associated with their comments. As we've witness here, most moonbats are annonymous cowards. For every post I reprinted, there are a dozen anonymous ones.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.

when do they go back to their trailer park or cave or whatever?
condo in Clear Lake, and that's kind of the question of the moment.
my partner's sister had made phone contact with their brother, who has stayed, and they have come to the conclusion that it's all "like..a big non-deal. we can go home tomorrow night, I bet! "
This, some 9 or 10 hours before the real bulk of the storm has actually come ashore....
I actually found myself in the ironic position of counseling them them to stay longer till they knew for sure what was going on.

I noticed a long time ago that the "Party of Compassion" was filled with some of the most hateful people in the United States. Seriously--- some of what those asshats have to say would embarrass the Ku Klux Klan.
I sometimes don my Haz-Mat moon-suit and visit leftist blogs. I emerge covered with spittle, venom and pure, unadulterated HATE. And these are the people who keep saying that Bush is Hitler. They CARE and Bush doesn't. Most of 'em need a goddam brain implant.

A good friend of mine once said "There is only one cure for a moonbat liberal. It is a small metal cylinder and on one end is engraved '.44 Rem Mag'"
After reading Eschaton for a couple of minutes, I'm becoming hard pressed to find any argument to that.
Posted by: Vulgorilla on September 23, 2005 08:21 AM
Then there are the liberal justices on the Supreme Court. They embody everything that the conservatives are accused of. i.e. Kelo decision, medical marijuana decision, etc.
Then there was Charlie Rangel and Fritz Hollings introducing draft legislation and accusing Republicans of bringing back the draft. Amazingly they got away with it.

It's pretty easy to sound really tough on the web.
These are the kind of people who sneak around at night and key your truck because of your W sticker or pound nails into logs to injure men or set fire to private property because they don't like it.
If push ever came to shove with these pukes, there's no doubt to the outcome.

They care, all right. Just not about anyone else, unless it's someone who can do something for them.
Until they can no longer do something for them, that is.

The Liberal Heart
Geoffrey over at Dog Snot Diaries notes the.....hypocrisy of liberals much like I have in the past except for the fact that these liberals condone and PROMOTE rape as a retalitory weapon:
Sally says: "Someone needs to offer to rape Malkin with a reinforced steel dildo heated to 300F." Wait.....aren't liberals for tolerance? Is this the same Sally that laments the pain the Iraqis are suffering? She wants to see Malkin raped? Maybe she was joking. What do her cohorts have to say?
This rational moonbat agreed with her. "Fuckin' A-right. She's got it coming. If it wasn't for idiot wingnuts like Gordon, she'd be doing 4 ping-pong ball shows a night in a Bangkok whorehouse. There's not a got-damn thing that could be said about her bad enough for what she does daily here in the country she hates."
The chicago dyke doesn't advocate violence, "i just hate violence against women, all women, even dumb fascist cunts who "deserve" it."
So we now we see beyond the curtain, wizard to see exactly what liberals really want in their heart-of-hears.
Michael Savage was right: Liberalism IS a mental disorder.

They all do have self animus loathing towards anyone who just thinks differently than them. I used to think maybe it was someones overrated opinion…but now living in Oregon I see/hear it daily at work from ~95% of my co-workers. They used to challenge me but don’t any more because its so easy to show where they are wrong and they don’t like it. I’ll ask them to explain a point they made but get ‘oh its to hard to explain’ or ‘you would’t understand’. I never raise my voice or get in a shouting match and always listen to their point 1st before I comment…during which all I get is them regurgitating the same line or saying ‘well u get your facts like I get mine’ BS. U know what I mean! Libs all think that they have the idea market cornered because they think ‘well everyone I know and LIKE thinks like me..right?’ They all have to live together and do liberal inbreeding to get long. Check out the 2004 election map for my point. http://www.esri.com/industries/

Tales Of Tolerance From The Loony Left
To get an eyeful of the hatred spewed by the 'tolerant' loony left, head on over to Dog Snot Diaries. The compassionate souls highlighted by Geoffrey show the depths of their compassion and tolerance by advocating the rape of Michelle Malkin. A few even disparage her racial background.

Given the current sitch in the Catholic Church, it gives off one weird vibe. But damn, I woulda crawled thru broken glass to get at her character.

I asked them a few moments ago if they still think Malkin "deserves" a raping.
The first reply:
Yeah Gordo - I'd like to see Malkin anally raped with a rusty chainsaw.
But, that's just the Marine in me, contemplating a fitting retribution.
So, fuck off already.

Those must be some of the most vile words I've ever seen written.
They, who cry for the owl, the whale, and the mink, are quite confortable with the violent images of women being raped and unborn children being yanked from the womb.
What kind of self-loathing must exist to create the capacity for such hatred of others simply based upon ideology?
It's horrifying to think of it.

"Liberalism is a mental disorder."
So true. They get all sanctimonious about how mean, bigoted, and cold hearted conservatives are and then in the same breath, they shit all over us and have the nerve to laugh about it. Liberals are truly a bunch of mean spirited ignorant assholes hell bent on destroying all that is good with the world. Am I bitter at being dumped on for my values? Hell yes.

Johnny Winter was from Port Arthur. Also Clifford Antone, the founder of the Antone's record label. I was thinking Clifton Chenier came from there too, but he just lived there for a while.

There is one moment in Roman Holiday in which Audrey Hepburn stole my heart forever...
rorschach
Here's what happens when the right wing goes nuts.
From IMDB on Roman Holiday.
The original writer, Dalton Trumbo, was blacklisted as one of the legendary Hollywood Ten, and therefore could not receive credit for the screenplay, even when it won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay. Instead, his friend, Ian McLellan Hunter, took credit for the story and accepted the Oscar. Trumbo's wife, Cleo, was finally presented with the award in 1993, long after his death in 1976. The Oscar she received was actually a second one, because Hunter's son wouldn't give up his father's Oscar. Thus, two awards for Best Screenplay of 1953 exist. The story credit was corrected to credit Trumbo when the restored edition was released in 2002, nearly fifty years after the original release.

These are the same people too cowardly to pick up arms and stand up for the principles of this country. The PRINCIPLES of this country. Including this so-called marine 'Barndog.' Man...what I'd like to do to this shitbag would get me arrested for just writing about it. He's a fucking disgrace.
I'm no republican, but I'm no damn liberal as well. I'll admit once I was...but now I look at party politics like I look at organized religion. I don't trust ANY group. What I DO trust is logic...truth...and the good sense of 'certain' rare individuals who do the math...the research about a partcular issue on their own without the prodding of their fellow lackies.
What I despise are frenzied, frothing packs of cowardly fucking dogs like these fucking jackels who only come out of their quivering cowardice when the prey is wounded and bleeding to the point of death.
These motherfuckers should get a taste of their own medicine...but I'd like them healthy so I can beat the shit out of them within an inch of their pointless, miserable lives.
Sorry guys and girls but this post caught me on the worst possible day.
Keep showing these scumbags for who they truly are!

How's by you? rorschach
Well enough, thanks. I got to meet an aboriginal elder last night - he was here to help promote work being done to preserve their way of life. The local planetarium has an archeoastronomer who travels the globe documenting indiginous peoples' cosmologies. Great multimedia presentation in the dome - didgeridoos, photos and video of some of the sacred rock formations and paintings that are tens of thousands of years old, plus the illustration of the night sky and mapping of their constellations in relation to their oral tradition. Fantastic stuff and very nice people.
Also picked up the Scorsese documentary of Dylan yesterday - in fact, this seems like a good time to put it on.

In Tor's The Buru Quartet, a Malkin character is a "half-breed" police commissar who has is driven to despise his Indonesian half and worship his Dutch half. His boss, a Dutch police general, treats him like shit but still he remains admiring and subservient. He humiliates and even murders his Indonesian compatriots.
That's the sick world in which Malkin exists.

Think about it: these are people who gleefully support politicians who have casually fucked over thousands of US soldiers and Iraqi civilians, and robbed billions from the US Treasury, all in the name of some ghastly domination fantasy.
I guess it stands to reason that they themselves take delight in sneering at "libruls" and "moonbats"...they think their contempt for decency will make them more like their heroes.
They're right, of course, but in the end, their heroes will never see them as relevant anyway. Just more guinea pigs to be "drowned in the bathtub" like the rest of us.

Okay, that is just about the coolest ever. My wife is writing on indigenous lit, which led us to go to New Zealand, where she met with a variety of Maori folk, and I got to talk with the head of one whara with her.
But man, studying the cosmologies of the world? Absolutely brilliant. I envy.

Great story, Unrepentant Fenian. I offer this one in return:
J. Parnell Thomas, the self-righteous chairman of HUAC who was responsible for railroading so many people to career oblivion, was later tried and convicted of defrauding the government. The twist: He was sentenced to the Danbury, Connecticut federal prison where blacklisted screenwriters Lester Cole and Ring Lardner Jr. already were incarcerated for refusing to tell Thomas’s committee about their political beliefs. Imagine how awkward. What would they say if they had run into Thomas in the prison cafeteria? How about some crow for lunch, Mister Chairman?

Me too - that was a big interest of mine growing up; still is in a way I guess. I went a different direction in career paths but I don't think there were any other Astronomy/Psychology dual majors.
What amazed me was his description of the 6-month long initiation and training ritual the children of the tribe get while living in the sacred places. The stories are told by day and again by starlight. I chatted with the astronomer who's been working with him for a decade about the wisdom they had of using the relatively unchanging sky as a sort of information matrix in which they encoded their belief system. Their stories go all the way back to the dreamtime, and there's solid evidence that they have changed little in the past 50,000 years (!) Not bad for a "primitive" culture.

Please do... We wouldn't be having this trouble if I was allowed to burn the entire south like I wanted to. It will end the same way, and they won't do what's necessary and it will happen again in anothe 100 to 150 years.
On hearing of South Carolina's secession, Sherman presciently observed to a Southern friend before going north to serve in the Union Army:
You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing!
You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it ...
Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth -- right at your doors.
You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.

I'm no republican,
Now why do you think that he would feel it necessary to deny that particularly glaring truth? Could it be that he's in trouble for blowing the cover off of more than a local operation? Haven't found the public document to prove the link to an official Republican group yet but have every confidence that it is there.
Everything I have revealed about Little g. and his band of socially maladapted ratfuckers has been based on publicly available documents. All can be found online, including that police blotter item mentioned above. Using a computer that can't be linked to me I've found his own shit pile has been useful for gleaning coprolites of information about the little shit himself. Stupid, people are so careless about this kind of thing.
That is everything I've revealed about the little bedwetter SO FAR has been based on publicy available information. I've got some information not based on public documents that I am holding in reserve for the right venue.
I did see the ratfuckers' nest in person again but as it is rather difficult for someone with grey hair to mix in with college students I will have to figure out another way of observing them more closely. I know of several opportunities for this, but I will not involve students. From the stories I've heard these ratfucking thugs are not above violence and intimidation, though cowards themselves when not in a pack. I must confess that it is rather disappointing to see that this generation of greek boys is just as pointlessly puerile as those I was unfortunate enough to know closing in on forty years back. Pimp, I ask you.
If the national organization likes a partisan ratfucker operation in an official location and what tax implications that holds..... we may see.
Here's a clue Little g. when you try to play ball with the big boys, make sure you've got at least one.
That goes for you too, Ted. When I have located the line I will expose it.
Now I have imposed on the Eschaton community enough. My excuse is that I was asked to share what I found and I am more than willing to share with my friends.
Remember, ratfuckers, it's all available in public documents. Stew in that.
