The Lou Dobbs Hobbyhorse Hour is taking a day off from leading on those sneaky wetbacks, to focus on his beloved Queen Judy. Pass the sick-bag.

Hank must be another dog in motion, hard to take pictures of without at least one part of him being blurred.

It's sad to see a man make googly eyes over a woman he doesn't have a chance with.
Hank must be another dog in motion
Hank has only two gears: deep sleep or running a hundred miles an hour. That's why it's so hard when she's hurt, because even when I try to restrain her movement she dances on the spot in her bed.
Afternoon, moonbats! Would anyone like some garlic cheese grits?
Yummy. I'm so hungry right now I'd eat some Cheetos.
Um... sorry.

So is my Hank. When she was a puppy she ran around all the living-room furniture with my knitting in her mouth while I was in the bathroom, like a second. She had created a large spider's web out of what used to be the nearly-finished front of a sweater.
Then she clawed through a chair leg. Too bad that it was an eighteenth century chair. And then she ate a soap and the soap dish, and I had to wait for the dish pieces to come out naturally and piece them together to avoid surgery.
I love her dearly, and I'm worried right now.

hey hey Red Sox fans, check this out:
BOSTON -- No player in baseball has seen their career take off like David Ortiz. Now he has a commercial jet plane named after him to prove it.
Song, Delta's low-fare air carrier, honored the Red Sox slugger and American League MVP candidate Friday morning by naming the newest addition to its fleet of Boeing 757s, "Big Papi."
In a flashback to some 12 hours earlier, when he drove in the tying and winning runs in consecutive innings, fans lined Logan Airport's Terminal A and chanted, "MVP, MVP" as Ortiz -- with wife Tiffany by his side -- made his way to Gate 15 for the Friday morning ceremony.

I had the most amazing cheese platter the other night at a place in Georgetown called Mendicino. About 12 tiny samples of various very good cheeses, each served with a different relish, like honey or pear compote or quince jam or jalapeno jelly or, and this was my favorite, pink grapefruit marmelade. I made a meal of the heirloom tomoto salad and the cheese platter. It was great.
Oh well, I promised to spring the little lefty from day care early today. Better go do.

TJ - Yes Robert is Judy Miller's atty. And (I posted this earlier) he committed an amazing foot-in-mouth earlier when Wolfie was interviewing him about Miller. W surprised him with a question about his brother's comment, which Robert took exception to. He then said:
BLITZER: Have you discussed this issue with him?
BENNETT: Well, no, and, Wolf, let me say, I am rather disappointed at you for not telling me you would ask me about that. This was about Judy Miller, and I think that's a courtesy you could have extended to me. What I would emphasize is Bill's comment that such a position would be morally reprehensible, I think it's largely making a mountain out of a molehill.
I mean, I suppose I'll get in trouble by saying that it's well established that men are more violent than women and so maybe if we abort all male babies, we would have a safer world. So I think this is really much ado about nothing.
BLITZER: Well, the reason I ask is because I know you and your brother love each other and you are good brothers. And it was only obvious to me, I assume, that you know I would ask a newsworthy question.
BENNETT: I didn't know that at all, Wolf. In the past you've always been very straight with me. And I'm honest with you and I'm offended by that.
See? Men are more violent than women = blacks are more criminal than whites.

"Wow. The Bennett family sure sounds like a great group of folks, huh? And what's with Blitzer's lame "I know you and your brother love each other" comment. That's just weird, IMO."
It was so stupid and apologetic. Sorry, Robert, your brother's latest stupid comment is all over the news and you really expect to go on CNN and not be asked about it? (Okay, sadly, I can see where that expectation might come from.)

General Tao Te Chick? I love his work.
Toodles, everyone. I'm taking the teens to a local football game here in Jesusland. There is one bookstore in this entire city. There are about eighteen thousand churches. And I don't need a phone book to verify it.
I must get out of here, and soon.

Mena--we've had a few smallies here, none of which I've felt.
General Tao's Chicken dates back to the Chin Dynasty and is named for General Tao, a governor of the northern Chinese province of Hunan. According to legend, the old general ate nothing but poultry and this dish was his favourite

Jeez, with Bob / Not Bob, Tommy Dale Delay, when the Right Nuts become such whiners?
and a very stupid one, at that...
Speaking of stupid prey animals, my best friend has a house cat that managed to catch a mouse that had gotten in the house from outside. The cat was literally playing "cat and mouse" with it in the kitchen, catching it, releasing it and then catching it again, until my friend intervened, grabbed the mouse and released it outside. A few hours later, my friend found the same mouse dead on the kitchen floor. It had come back into the house for more punishment.
Guilty as charged. But I love that celery soda!

Richard: wow, that is dumb. This one was pretty stupid...not just to come in the house. It would go under the oven, then every so often make a run for it, even tho all 4 cats were waiting...
the other thing is that in the back of the oven space is a hole in the floor where the old gas line ran...it coulda just went down the hole and into the basement...
ok, no cats, I am good with that "sigh weep"
this country, after all, is under attack
Flory--you know, housecleaning is moving much more slowly with Monsieur underfoot.

Get some flavored syrup(s) like the kind they add to coffee and mix it with seltzer water. I like to use almond syrup, which is also good to splash into fruit salad.

I surf these threads a lot, but have never posted. I generally have little to add, as the intelligence level here is quite high. However, as anyone who has seen me in profile will attest, I do like food. So:
- All of the Chinese restaurants here in the Seattle area call it General Tso's Chicken. The tao is something of which I am unqualified to speak.
- The soup sounds great, pseudonymous, but habanero does not get a tilde over the n.
- Re: Wine: the most important ingredient is the alcohol in the chef.

You know, by helping to facilitate the Iraq disaster with her bullshit WMD stories, in a certain way, Miller has fucked every man, woman and child in this country. How much money have we poured down the drain so far in Iraq? It's must be about $300 billion by now. That's about a thousand dollars for every person in the USA.
A question I'd like to see her forced to answer under oath: "Did you know that your reports on WMD were untrue while you were writing them? ".

No kitties? My own is in disgrace, having peed on the arts and crafts carpet today. I can always tell when she's done that because from the moment I walk in the door, she's incredibly affectionate and literally tries to push me out of the living room if I head in that direction. She's pretty, but she's not the brightest Swavorski crystal on the tree.
Salada makes a delicious Green Tea with antioxidants from things like grape skins and pomegrante juice. It's great iced, with a little vodka.

"Easy there. Anyway, who says you're supposed to?

Even though I did not become a scientist, I loved Mr. Wizard. One of my favorite childhood tv shows.
Seen Obama's diary on DKos?
You may not agree with some of his points, but damn, he's good. And he's prepared to devote 3,000 very carefully chosen words to an online conversation. This, especially, hits the mark:
How can we ask Republican senators to resist pressure from their right wing and vote against flawed appointees like John Bolton, if we engage in similar rhetoric against Democrats who dissent from our own party line? How can we expect Republican moderates who are concerned about the nation's fiscal meltdown to ignore Grover Norquist's threats if we make similar threats to those who buck our party orthodoxy?
I am not drawing a facile equivalence here between progressive advocacy groups and right-wing advocacy groups. The consequences of their ideas are vastly different. Fighting on behalf of the poor and the vulnerable is not the same as fighting for homophobia and Halliburton. But to the degree that we brook no dissent within the Democratic Party, and demand fealty to the one, "true" progressive vision for the country, we risk the very thoughtfulness and openness to new ideas that are required to move this country forward. When we lash out at those who share our fundamental values because they have not met the criteria of every single item on our progressive "checklist," then we are essentially preventing them from thinking in new ways about problems. We are tying them up in a straightjacket and forcing them into a conversation only with the converted.
He's dealing with politics as the art of the possible.

"ou may not agree with some of his points, but damn, he's good. And he's prepared to devote 3,000 very carefully chosen words to an online conversation"
personally, i thought it was bullshit and virtually indistinguishable from dlc tripe wrt tone...some great strawmen were also erected...
And the Fraggles.
My own is in disgrace, having peed on the arts and crafts carpet today.... Hecate
Yours is no disgrace. I mean, compared to the fact that death-defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth, crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear...

SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP! CUT HIS MIC!
i think the Browns won a title back before they joined the NFL?"
yes...but nothing since the start of the super bowl...
Hi NTodd! How old was the Cap'n when you met him. I just loved him when I was little.
and the Cavaliers once held Michael Jordan to barely 60 points in a playoff game.
Is Mr. Yuk still around? He and Oscar the Grouch were my favorites. Really.

mena - uh...this was mid-90s, so he was pretty old. And so was I. But I just had to say hi to him--he was there for some sort of book signing or reading or something. I remember I was buying a copy of HA Rey's book on stars, as a matter of fact.
mena: Well, good luck with it all Jeffra. I'm sure you'll be fine. You did say you hadn't had anything in a long while, I think.
Thanks. Yeah, it's been 27 months since the Big Gig with the Evil Empire, and since then, it's been a website here, and a Curly DVD there (and a few weeks of $8/hr. painting work to lessen my back rent owed to the landlord).

pseud - I get Obama's point, but he could make the same point without voting for every piece of bad legislation the Repugs come up with. It really isn't necessary for him to vote "yes" on every Bush nominee in order to make the point, either.
Obama sucks. DLC butt boy all the way. Fuck him and the Lieberman he rode in on. He's dealing with politics as the art of getting my ass paid. Dispicable.
He and Oscar the Grouch were my favorites.
Perhaps you'll recall this classic...
Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash
I have here a sneaker that's tattered and worn
It's all full of holes and the laces are torn
A gift from my mother the day I was born
I love it because it's trash
Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash
I have here some newspaper thirteen months old
I wrapped fish inside it; it's smelly and cold
But I wouldn't trade it for a big pot o' gold!
I love it because it's trash
Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love trash
I've a clock that won't work
And an old telephone
A broken umbrella, a rusty trombone
And I am delighted to call them my own!
I love them because they're trash
Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty
Anything ragged or rotten or rusty
Yes, I love, I love, I love trash!

NTodd, there's a great bit on a live Moxy Fruvous album about Oscar the Grouch. Jian (drummer, funny) declares that he always wanted to see Oscar come out and holler, "MOTHAFUCKAHHHHH! He's got the perfect mouth for it..."
So now I run around various places with my kidz, they see an O the G doll of some sort, look at me and mouth "MOTHAFUCKAAAHHHHH!" Inescapable.
I'm'na go put on that album, goshdarnit.
Yeah, I've about reached the point where Obama can bite me. There's no excuse for Dems voting for Roberts and when women lose the right to choose I'm going to remember all those who voted for him and all those who were apologists for them. He's disappointed me.

Heh, I had that as a sound for when I emptied the trash on my Mac long, long ago.
I have had many arguments over the years when I contend that Oscar was originally orange. Believe me, I was the original target audience planted in front of the TV in 1969. I also have the original 45 picture cover of the theme song, clearly showing an orange Oscar.

I prefer Oscar's third album...the one where he was completely strung out, and hired Ornette Coleman to do string arrangements, and Arto Lindsay to play guitar.
steve, I really have to go, but I need to tell you this.
I have a brother who has a room--a room--of Alf memorabilia. Dolls, talking and otherwise, party favors, clothing, books, figurines, masks, even a poster that says "Muzeem of Modern Art, Melmac."
It's concerning on more levels than I can possibly express here. His screename is "Alfnut."

I always appreciated Sesame Street for having Ernie and Bert, the first openly gay puppets on tv.
You know what I didn't like about that show? The way everyone thought Bert's enthusiasms were stupid and boring. I remember one episode where he and Ernie were supposed to sing about things starting with "L," and Ernie kept correcting Bert for not choosing the "correct" things.
Ernie was an absolute real emotional fascist, goddamn him. But everyone was picking on Bert, all the time, just for being himself. What's so fucking "diverse" about that?
"One of these things is not like the other...one of these things has got to go." Kind of bloodcurdling, when you think about it.
Believe me, I was the original target audience planted in front of the TV in 1969. I also have the original 45 picture cover of the theme song, clearly showing an orange Oscar.

smallfish,
What's happened the last three weeks? Hope things are looking up now.
I need some advice. My cat is smallish, and I have a smallish carrier for him that I got when he was not yet full grown. At the end of last summer, I thought he was too big for it. So I bought one of those rigid plastic carriers before I left. It's huge, because that's all I could find. That's what I brought him up here in. He isn't crazy about it. I'm of half a mind to put him in the small carrier. But I hate to leave him in it because he can't move around.

Supposedly as of sometime this week over 1,000,000 Disaster Loan Applications have been sent out.
If this is true/correct - it should exceed any previous disaster in sheer number of applications out on the street.
I have no breakdown as to Home or Business, but educated guess would be highest number is Home applications."
The Disaster Recovery specialists of the SBA discovered that all their computers are either inoperable or so poorly connected to any centralised location that they cannot transmit information. The vast majority of actual lending specialists within the Agency were 'downsized' over the last few years, using instead self-declared loans accepted from private industry which are seldom if ever checked for eligibility for such things as the SBA governmental guarantee against default. The Computer Specialist position within the Agency was eliminated a few years ago and the tasks were outsourced to private companies. The centralised loan processing facilities that would normally be lead in processing loans of this size has today been shut down after some ten years of efficient service (24 hour turnaround) and there is no replacement. According to USA Today, 'But since the new system went into use last December — a period that includes pre-Katrina disasters — 41,578 loan applications have been received. Of those, 14,935 have been fully processed and 3,618 approved — a rate of 24%. That's less than half the approval rate under the old system." Of course, this doesn't include those pesky 1,000,000 applications.
How much fun is this?

That site about gore for porn brought back some of my childhood.
My grandfather was in the Marines in the Pacific and he had a trophy of a Japanese soldier in his basement.
A full intact skull. Guy must have taken a gut shot and bled to death.
Used to scare the shit out of me.
My grandmother would have chewed Toby up and spit him out just for fun.
SWR
Chewing him up I can understand...and spitting him out I can definitely understand. Not so sure about the "fun" part, though. Seems more like a grim duty.
From "The Sesame Street Book and Record". 'Green' is (c)1970 Jonico Music, Inc.
It's not that easy being green;
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold...
or something much more colorful like that.
It's not easy being green.
It seems you blend in with so many other ord'nary things.
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
or stars in the sky.
But green's the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain,
or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be.
Dollars lost upon dollars lost. Mis- calculations, mistakes and finally a blown motor in my work truck that cost me another tens of thousands. Now I had to renew my work insurance with a rubber check!
OY Fucking Vey!

I also liked it better when only Big Bird could see his friend Mr. Snufflupagus. Who couldn't relate to every adult around you insisting that what you knew to be true was only in your imagination, and you could never quite prove it?

Please don't spank me for the long post (so easy to scroll past if you get bored), but this is from an email from blackboxvoting:
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT THIS?
We are often asked “what can citizens DO to repair our
broken election system?” Black Box Voting is investing in
real solutions to help repair our elections process. We are
not waiting for new laws to be passed, new voting machines
to be invented, or public officials to change their ways.
THE DO-IT-YOURSELF VOTASCOPE PROGRAM
Working with expert Harri Hursti, Black Box Voting is
distributing the new “Votascope” program. It’s free. It’s
open source. Anyone can use it to find out if their local
election is ailing.*
* This is not a complete solution by any means. Right now,
the Votascope program will help with absentee votes and
mail-in votes. Recounts are also often done on this kind of machine.
Here’s how it works:
Harri Hursti discovered that some voting machines automatically
create a file that you can obtain using the Freedom of
Information Act (“Public Records Requests”).
This type of voting machine takes photos of each ballot, which
it keeps in a file automatically. You can get these ballot photos
with public records requests.
Of course, elections have a lot of ballots. The July 26 San
Diego election, for example, had about 250,000 ballots, about
75,000 of which went through the kind of voting machine that
takes and keeps digital photos. The recent school election in
Marin County, California was all mail-in, and had about 15,750
ballots go through this kind of voting machine. It would take a
long time for you to count all those ballots.
The Votascope program counts the ballots for you, using precise
“open source” programming.
Of course, it will come with instructions. It can do many
diagnostics. For example, you will be able to diagnose
various election ailments with Votascope.
Example: One way to tamper with an election is to set the
machine to reject or accept more votes. The Votascope
program can catch this manipulation.
Votascope can also find machines that are poorly maintained,
or show you if a ballot design favored one candidate over
another.
Votascope will be available for free downloads at Black Box
Voting beginning in mid-October, in time for the Nov. 8
elections this year! The photo files it uses to count ballots
are ALREADY in voting machines; you can get them on CD
or DVD; the laws you need to get them are ALREADY on the books.
The first edition of the Votascope program counts Diebold
ballot images. Later editions will count images from Hart
Intercivic and, if possible, ES&S.

I suppose a person could argue that this, and other obvoius questions, is why she demanded the scope of questioning be limited.

Does anybody understand why Fitzgerald would agree to limit the questions?
Its obvious there's nothing incriminating in her discussions with Libby or he wouldn't have given her a waiver a year ago.
So why would Fitzgeral pass up a chance to find out who she's really protecting.
Besides herself, that is.

Tena:
put him in the small carrier, with its door open inside the bigger carrier...if they'll fit...so if he feels the need he can crawl around and explore...or den up in the familiar comfort of the little one...
well' it's what i'd do...remind me to tell you some time about the time i drove eight cats overnight between Baton Rouge and Norman OK...

If they made Glade-flavored Cheetos would Toby smell better?
floricine green would be a great color to put into cheetos. It's red when dry, and when it got into his system, first his urine would turn green, and when he continued to eat the cheetos, his skin.

We got the cat carriers out of the attic for the storm-which-wasn't.
Our biggest cat loves the small carriers. He seems to feel secure in them.
Then again, he loves to crawl into small boxes, too. But, Tena, it might be your cat prefers the confined space to the larger carrier.
Of course, this doesn't include those pesky 1,000,000 applications.

If he prefers getting in the small carrier I would use that one. Can you take him out when you take rest breaks from driving, or would he be stuck in there for the whole trip?

Like when you called the 9-11 widow a whore?
Oops....excuse me.
A prostitute.
Hec, she was a royal pain in the ass. Emphasis on the royal. She was like the cranky grandma that complains about everything and you have to fetch and carry for and feed special food -- you don't realize how much she holds the household together till she's gone. We miss her terribly. However, I think the rest of the animals are rejoicing. She made life rough for them and they were all terrified of her. She weighed next to nothing but kept our big dogs in line-- every once in a while she would walk by and just slap the shit out one of them for absolutely no reason, just to let them know she still could.
And flory, it is a houseful but we've got lots of room- close to three acres.

SWR: the first time I saw blacks(my parents moved to a lillywhite visciously racist suburb of cleveland-white flighters) was when grandma took us to visit her sister in chicago. she told us they were black because they didn't wash...
I think what saved me from becoming Toby was the fact that I had to go to a half black public high-school. I'd come out with dumb racist crap right to peoples' faces and I'd get into fights all the times but they were mostly shouting matches. They rarely got violent. So I learned after awhile that blacks weren't really quite so scary as my grandmother thought.
It used to drive me nuts though that my father was a racist and yet sent me to a public school in the city.
Of course during the few years my father was a liberal in the 1980s, after my grandfather died, he did the decent thing and buried the skull of the Japanese soldier.
And even read a prayer out of the Bible.

I mean, Sunni Muslims pissed? Jesus. That's a new one. And you based your plan on the fact that they wouldn't be.
HA HA HA HA HA

What a dumbass.
His ass was smokin' when wifey found out.
heh heh.
Woody - Wow - that's terrific. Do they need anyone to just stand around and admire Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan? 'Cause I think I'd be perfect for the job.

I can't count how many times that happened to me as a kid...
Was that Arthur S. walking arm-in-arm with Judy just now?
Where's Mr. Judy?
You wouldn't believe how long it took me to find spike heels that fit him!

There websites for that stuff.

Come on Toby,
It's Friday night, shouldn't a single guy like you be out on the town.
Oh wait, you have no friends, so you have to stay in with the grown ups.
Speaking of Sam
At least somebody understands their Friday afternoon priorities!
*ahem* Atrios?
Why is MSNBC doing commericals for Faux?
Oh, gaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwd.
I don't wanna know.
You say domiatrix-hiring like it's a bad thing.

Shall we just say that for someone who has published a book called "the Book Of Virtues", stumped the country shilling for said book and the virtues it enumerates, and is reliably called upon as one of a couple of national scolds, the gentleman's capacity for honest self-evaluation appears to be somewhat impaired when it comes to living his talk.
could we say that?

You too? Wow. Thanks. I feel less alone now.
The American Empire is dead.

Aaaah, and a such a young age.
Never had a chance to
TOTALLY FUCK UP THE WORLD!

Driving in a car with Laura Bush. They had a little accident.
I'm talking about him being an apologist for those who did vote for Roberts. And he's generally been a disappointment.
He's been in the Senate for nine months as part of a minority party; he's there for another 5 1/4 years. I'm prepared to give him time.
He's right about Roberts, alas. Most of America sees a smiley man flown in from the 1950s with his Stepford family. Point is, the wingnuts didn't get enough red meat; they wanted a Bork. Which means the next candidate up will be, heck, Bill Bennett, probably.

they have them...they're called "AyDees", assiatant directors, of whom there may be as many as sevenor eight, depending on ghe complexity of the project...
the waiting list for positions n that union are wicked long, as you might imagine...

I hope you studied for your test
i>starring Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan
Cool! I'm fans of both of them. Check out Brosnan in a movie called Mister Johnson.
No Karin, they went back to hell. The situation deterioriated even further before they left-- this sister in law is kind of the black hole of the family. There have been other incidents over the years.
One day they left without a word, leaving their dogs for us to take care of , the sister's mink coats, and their family arsenal on our sunporch. They called later to tell us
They eventually left for a hotel, because 1) they were pissed we wouldn't let them smoke inside, 2) they were annoyed by our cats yowling (we had locked the surviving cats inside to avoid another accident) 3) we took issue with the sister in law's around the clock drinking, and 4) (my favorite) there was "just too much drama to deal with"....
they are now back in Houston. Their 3 bedroom townhouse had no damage at all.
Toby is not a troll.
He's a sociopath who occasionally comes here to try to make friends, or at least, be part of something.
But he doesn't understand the concept and lapses back into the 'people are to be used for my amusement' mode.

Bennett really blew 8 mil? What a dumbass.
Those $100,000 slot machine coins go pretty fast.
That it was the slots rather than, say, poker, is interesting. Slots are the crystal meth of gambling.

que no!
Not so bad, tho, as it turned out.
Just enough to get a little scary.
I sat out all nite in a protected area away from the wind. (ran in a couple times when it seemed the shit was about to hit the fan) Melissa slept.
The power has finally become reliable, which is a big relief.
Thanks for asking, I'll tell Melissa.

Hey Karin!
How's the job going?
