Roger: But you were a media guy.
O'Reilly: Yeah. A media guy with a pen, not a gun. And people were shooting at me, Roger.
Roger: People might think that you actually were in the military.

Don't have a recipe, but I have made many a herb butter and citrus butter. So I'll gues that you take, say 1/4 cup sugar and half that amount of cinnamon and then a stick of butter at room temperature and, using two knives or one's hands, knead the sugar/cinnamon into the butter. Place in refrigerator to harden. Use as needed.

We have been noting for some time now the paralells between the rhetorical thugishness of the movement conservatives and the fascists of the 30's and 40's. The rhetoric preceeds the street actions and that is why we take the eliminationist talk so damned seriously. The winger's have backed off somewhat of late but frankly I expect the violence element to return as the election season heats up again. I recommend vigilant documentation.

The Big Lie: the longer and more vehemently one asserts A Lie, and the bigger and more obvious The Lie, the more 'believable' it becomes (to those who want/need to believe it).
Y'know who named the propaganda categories, right? One of 'em was Paul Lazarsfeld, a 'pioneer' in journalism scholarship...Adorno was another; Horkheimer, too...in NYC, in the late 20s, upon studying the propagandas created to incite/explain the carnage of WW I...
in the 50s, Jacques Ellul outlined the machinations of propagandas about as thouroughly as ever you'd want it...his examples were drawn from the Nazis, the Soviets and the ChiCom regimes, but--given the erea--i doubt he'd have expressed implicit blindness of his data set, even had he seen it...

People applauded when Bush said "people accused us of doctoring the evidence" (paraphrase)?
Poll: Most Americans Say Bush Not Honest
By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Two crucial pillars of President Bush's public support _ perceptions of his honesty and faith in his ability to fight terrorism _ have slipped to their lowest point in the AP-Ipsos poll.
While the CIA leak investigation, the mishandling of Hurricane Katrina and high energy costs have all taken their toll, the polling found the Iraq war at the core of Americans' displeasure with the president.
All of those concerns are cutting into traditional Bush strengths.
WHAT "strengths"?
Since when is being dogshit dumb a "strength"????

Robertson wasn't serious, Virginia. And I don't think that O'Reilly was, either. They're both shameless clowns out for ratings.
I remember a while back when Rush was on Letterman. Letterman asked him (something to the affect of)
"Do you ever get the feeling that, I don't know, you're full of crap?"
He was basically implying that Rush just pulled shit out of his ass just to get people riled.
And since we liberals get riled an awful lot (admit it, folks), we're an easy mark. Ignoring those that prey on our sensativity is the first step to getting these people off of the airwaves.

Hello, usually i don't really do gossip but there's one mailing list i can't resist: Popbitch. This week they has this delicious item. Being friday, why not post it here!
George W Bush's mother troubles
It's hard to believe it was only one year
ago that George W Bush was re-elected President.
Since then he seems to have lost almost
every single friend. Even his own family.
One Popbitch reader was at a Texas dinner
party recently and sat next to a friend of
Barbara Bush, Dubya's mother. Over the meal
she confided that the Bush family only ever
called the President by his rather patronising
family nickname, "Junior". And that on a
recent hunting trip she'd asked Barbara what
George was like.
"Junior? Hmmmm..." Barbara apparently sighed.
"He's not like the rest of us."
Mrs Bush's friend leant towards our source
to explain. "Here in Texas... that means
he's stupid."
(FYI: Actually Bush does have one fan - 50 Cent.
He's been defending the President this week
from Kanye West's attacks, saying, "The New
Orleans disaster was meant to happen. It was an
act of God. People responded to it the best way
they can.")

Mountain lions are cats. It would be acceptable for a brave soul like Arthur to strategically retreat from a mountain lion.
Or even something that just looked a bit like one.
SnuggleBunny
This is all true. However, Arthur was in hot pursuit, analogising a Crown Victoria at 125mph after a Ferrari. But there was this privet hedge that the most wonderful scent to it, so he had to stop and find out more and I snuck up on him and impeded his bliss.

One of the candidates for the US Senate in Montana John Morrison(D) is begining to show that he's got SPALLS.
Here's part of an email I got from his campaign headquarters.
ON VETERANS DAY, MORRISON CALLS ON WASHINGTON TO GET ITS PRIORITIES STRAIGHT
Outlines Specific Agenda To Serve Veterans
Helena --Speaking at the VFW Post 6774 in Billings, today Senate candidate John Morrison honored this nation’s veterans by outlining a series of proposals to better serve those currently in the program and ease the transition home for the next generation of veterans created by the war in Iraq:
“The programs and policies built for our veterans were developed decades ago, before the advances in medicine and care that so many of us take for granted,” Morrison said. “It’s long past time we recommit ourselves to making sure our veterans have the care and services they’ve earned.”
Morrison highlighted the disparity between the demand of our veterans for modern health care and services and the lack of funding Washington is providing to the Veterans Administration (VA). This discrepancy delays and threatens the quality of the care our veterans receive. Morrison went on to outline specific steps Congress must take to honor our commitment to those who have served, including: a fully funded VA, immediate revocation of the “disabled veterans tax,” and blocking increases to prescription drug coverage and enrollment fees.
“I’m angry Washington hasn’t addressed these challenges yet,” Morrison said, “and I’m saddened that so many of our veterans go without the care and services they’ve earned.”
Morrison then outlined plans to pave the way for the next generation of veterans created by the War in Iraq, starting with programs to ease their transition home.
"This is America, and it ought to be this simple: If you serve your country, your country ought to serve you. That means never, not even once, worrying about losing your pay, losing your health insurance, or losing your home," Morrison said.
He described the domestic challenges our Guardsmen and Reservists face when called to active duty. Challenges that often result in a significant pay cut and financial hardship for their families. Morrison highlighted the steps we must take to ease the burden war places on our families here at home, including an updated GI Bill, protection for their health insurance, protections from foreclosure and bankruptcy, and the need to smooth the transition from the active military to the VA.
“We must begin today to make sure the America they come home to is the America they went to war for. We must begin today to make sure that the benefits our veterans receive are worthy of the sacrifices they’ve made,” Morrison said.

An Interesting Sociological Phenomenon
in cultures that spawn dominant male groups where 'machismo' of one description or another is a defining characteristic, there is a high incidence of manifest sexuality called 'men who have sex with men' (mwhswm)...
mswhwm emphatically reject the description of their activities as homoerotic or homosexual...
i suspect-- though i do not know, of course--that this is how adolescent gangs of male chimps would/might respond to a similar characterization of their group sexual behaviors...

Actually, that was a great line about the Germans on Olbermann. Don't forget - it's the Germans who never bought the US government's line on 9/11. They firmly believe our gov't was in on it.
The Germans were bastards in the past, but they've improved greatly, and can spot manipulative, evil leaders from 5,000 miles away.

I don't understand why he thinks it's a *lie* anyway. Bush has obviously done less to benefit the great majority of Americans. Tax cuts? How about higher food and gas prices?

O'REILLY: By the way, if Alito is confirmed, that will be a good thing for conservatives. That's the bottom line. Because Alito will take a more traditional view than a [Supreme Court justices Stephen G.] Breyer or a [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg. OK? He'll look at things, and he'll say, "You know, the Founding Fathers didn't want partial-birth abortion. The Founding Fathers didn't want all mention of Christmas stricken from the public arena." That's what Alito will do. He's a traditionalist. He's going to rule that way.

The Doughy Pantload got himself a op-ed gig at the El Lay Times.
So Scheer's out and he's in?
Well, look at the fun everyone will have tearing him apart week after week.
Gas them. Gas every red state that voted for Bush. Gas them all, and gas them now. And if that sounds a little too 1940s for you, then fine, nuke the fuckers.
Middle American Christians not only hate man and life, but most of all, they hate America. In fact, no one hates America more than the hardcore Evangelical Christians, which is to say, the South and Midwest. Their hatred of New England liberals is a thinly disguised hatred of America's heart and soul, since it was in New England that America was founded; their hatred of California is a hatred of what America has become, a hatred of American culture and power, since modern American culture and technology are produced in California. Their hatred of Hollywood is the same hatred of Hollywood you find in any resentful Third World country. Middle Americans hate California and the Northeast because those are America; the South and Midwest, on the other hand, are merely a kind of Third World within America, a large free-trade zone full of gullible consumers and cheap land and labor, and they know it. They are what holds America back from progress. They are the East Germany that West Germans had to absorb, and are constantly paying the price for. They are America's Sunni Triangle, full of hate and fanaticism and destruction. They are fit for little more than cannon fodder in the armed forces and as non-union manual labor capable of assembling Japanese or German cars without making a fuss. In short, they're gullible fools. Which brings me to the next question: Who the fuck ever decided that these pieces of shit deserved the right to vote?
Today's speech was Bush's auto-falafellatio moment. That or Bush's Gettysburg moment. I report, you decide.

my dad was on a destroyer that supported some of those island operations (when it wasnt shepherding submarines around), and all he would ever talk about was the noise of the guns, the almost incessant bark of the naval 5"s...
ashore, from all i know, it was some of the worst kind of fighting anyone could ever hope not to imagine... hand-to-hand, rifle butts, knives, bayonets, swords, grenades, pistols, shovels, fingers, teeth, anything at all...

The former FBI agent who scathingly exposed the bureau's failure to uncover the Sept. 11 plot is running for a House seat in Minnesota in 2006 as a Democrat, and she is employing her fearlessly blunt style on the campaign trail.
``This was a lied-into war that is a quagmire now,'' the 50-year-old Rowley recently told a group of rural Democrats in a garage in this small town south of the Twin Cities. ``It could be worse than Vietnam. The truth is we can't win, and there's still an ongoing deception.''

THere were a whole bunch of boys from Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona on the Bataan Death March. In New Mexico, it took some forty years before the survivors could even, as a group, admit they were there, it was so far past horror. Part of the horror was that they had survived. It is a terrible thing to see, still. This time of year often in Abq, the boys' names are read out, to remember.

my maternal grandparents hardly talk about what they did during WW2.
What I never forget is my Mummy, very slowly, telling me about how she, as a Red Cross volunteer, stationed in Kanchurapara rest camp (US/Oz/Brits - +/-80,000), along with the other five RC women and six Army nurses, were the first US women allowed to see and deal with the boys liberated from the Japanese camps. Those soldiers had been sent to Kanchurapara, in India, rather than straight home, because they were skeletons, they were dying in life and it was considered impossible to allow their circumstances to be known too graphically. So there they were, hundreds and hundreds and hundres of POWs, barely alive, and 12 women - not so much to nurse, there were too many boys for that - but to hold their hands as they finally died, to be seen and touched and breathed, as icons. It was all they could do. It was all there was for them to do. When the first group of boys finally were fattened up enough and well enough to travel on home, another group came thru. Mummy wasn't demobilised until early '46.

Throughout the first 224 years (1776-2000) of our nation's history, 42 U.S. presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions according to the U.S. Treasury Department. In the past four years alone (2001-2005), the Bush Administration has borrowed a staggering $1.05 trillion.

On Halloween, we ask our ancestors for guidance. It's only nice to offer your family something nice when they come to visit you. Mine, like Thers', are far more interested in a wet whistle than in a bite to eat.
Of course, many of my ancestors need to keep their damn guidance to themselves, living or dead.

Ah, I see -- the "badlydrawnjeff" character. Yeah. He said that not including a few more sentences of Condi's comments on Saddam = 9/11 made the clip in Moore's film a distortion. Right you are.
Certainly, I think that's a stretch, but perhaps less of one than the one about the Al Smith dinner, posited by my ex-pal.
I just don't see any way that anyone would not understand from the context of the clip that he was:
a.) Making the comment at a fundraiser;
b.) Trying to make a lame, self-effecing joke.
WTF does it being at the Al Smith dinner have to do with anything? I seriously thought it was more a commentary on the Preznit's joke writers, i.e., "Can you believe they joke about this shit?"
Too bad Bush hadn't done the Press Correspondent's dinner by the time the film was still in production...

re: post at - 8:43 pm
it's getting better! thanks!
Do you view President Bush and his administration as honest?
The LAT just got a rather explosive diatribe from me. The supervising editor I spoke with said there has been a lot of backlash re removing Scheer's column (who he claims is being kept on as an editor, due to the owners wanting 'a different look and feel' to the paper, and a lot of complaints stating that the paper no longer spoke to them or their community. I told them I was tired of 'he said, she said' reporting and wanted some real analysis.
He said, we've gotten a lot of that lately. A lot of people are ranting at them for being too much propaganda and not enough facts.
Do you think Antonio Villaraigosa, a competent and involved mayor, is getting any coverage? No! Do you think there's been any discussion of how Washington policies will impact us in SoCal? Forget it.
Poor guy.
He did agree to forward my complaint.

I fell into Jackson Browne's acoustic album, and this is whacking me over the head:
I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it means to remember
Whem you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to its people
And a country is drifting to war
There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs
On the radio talkshows and TV
You hear one thing again and again
How the USA stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends,
These governments killing their own
While the people they finally can't take anymore
And they pick up a gun, or a brick, or a stone
And there are lives in the balance
Children under fire
Soldiers in the camps
And there is blood on the wire . . .

Can I tell you how depressing it is for me to have heard these words in 1990 or so, and have them be so relevant now?

Petty sleaze like Delay and his team of crooks. And then we've got the main useful idiot, little Bush. But behind the curtain we've got puppy eater and torture advocate Dick Cheney...benefiting big oil and those huge bonuses these pigs are raking in.

Hecate, you know the story of how Yeats first published "Leda and the Swan"?
Thers, no, but I'd love to hear it.
It's one of a set of poems he wrote to be deliberately obnoxious. He published it in a short lived Dublin literary magazine called To-Morrow (1925). The blunt sexual imagery in the poem is intended as an affront to a rising Catholic censoriousness. He also wrote a fire-bombing editorial.
As almost happens in these cases, though, it was something else that caused the intended controversy, here, a short story by Lennox Robinson. "Leda and the Swan" was supposed to cause the blow-up, bit it was instead a relatively innocuous story.
Yeats at certain points tried to start fights on purpose but almost never succeeeded, on the scale of a Synge or O'Casey, anyway.

Trying to slide away, stopping in at the SF paper, only to discover that SOMEONE ELSE IS WORRIED ABOUT WEARING PANTS..... I need an iron. Cranky Pants are in a twist.
Tim Goodman
Friday, November 11, 2005
Everything we know we learned from television:
So "Desperate Housewives" fired the dude in the basement. And here we thought it was going to be one or three of the writers.
You know, the TV 101 letters thing is nice and all, but there's just not enough -- what's the word? -- crankiness involved. In fact, we don't even wear pants when we write it.
-- We have noticed that a lot of non-pros are starting to squeak about "Desperate Housewives." To which we say: Step away from the pulse of the nation and back off that angry modifier. If there's blood to spill here, we'll do it. And we will -- next week. But it's clear things are getting out of hand when Joe Buck -- Joe Buck! -- the Fox Sports announcer often used as a punching bag by knowledgeable sports fans, decides he's going to take a few shots at "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
Listen, Joe, you butcher the telecasts, we'll butcher the shows.
-- If "Curb" is having an off year -- settle down, we're going to decide this next week -- there are two things to consider here. 1) Even if it is, you don't kill it. Do you really think Larry David has lost his talent to be one of the funniest writers on television? Don't make us beat the Joe Buck out you. 2) Ratings have nothing to do with it. All these stories about HBO and ratings are pointless. It's a pay cable channel. If you don't watch "Curb," HBO still gets your money. And nobody cancels HBO because a show is tanking. Why? Because it also has five or six of the other Top 10 shows on television. End of lecture. We're putting the belt back on.
-- Kidding. The Cranky Pants have TWO BELTS because it's more painful that way and we've got so much anger stuffed in the pockets. (And no, the Cranky Pants are not cargo pants. Oh, please. We may be -- wait for it -- as bitter as a mouthful of aspirin with a lime chaser, but we're always stylish -- even when annoyed.)
-- Watching television news every night and flipping around madly usually results in one conclusion: Pretty much everybody's singing songs from the same set list. Granted, nobody seems as infatuated with Natalee Holloway as Greta and Rita -- if you have to ask what their last names are then God bless you, run free and never look back -- but few veer off the, um, journalistic talking points. That's why everybody knows Scooter Libby, and should. That's why no kid in the next decade will be named -- or nicknamed -- Scooter, and that is, not coincidentally, why we love Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" so much.
You may have noticed a previous column on his particular genius. But the man always seems to talk about, report and air stories that others miss. Olbermann and "Countdown" dig deeper, get weirder, have more fun and leave you more informed than any other newscast on TV." ....

WASHINGTON — Former Christian Coalition director Ralph Reed claimed in a 2001 e-mail to a lobbyist that he choreographed John Cornyn's efforts as Texas attorney general to shut down an East Texas Indian tribe's casino.
The lobbyist was Jack Abramoff, who is under federal investigation, along with his partner Michael Scanlon, on allegations of defrauding six Indian tribes of about $80 million between 2001 and 2004. The e-mail, along with about a dozen others, were released last week as part of the investigation.

While I am different than Senator Frist in that I am not willing to offer a diagnosis without examining the patient I did have a thought on this issue that I wanted to share. Well, I am also different from Senator Frist in that I am not under investigation by the SEC and number of other reasons, like not being an idiot, but never mind that now. Yes, where was I. Oh yes, Mr. O'Reilly.
I felt that it was important to point out that if left untreated, syphillus can produce symptoms very much like those that Mr. O'Reilly is exhibiting. Something to think about at least, non?

almost all tests in schools are, effectively, 'reading' tests...if you can't 'read' the question, you cannot 'answer' it...
all my tests were 'open book,' on the theory that if you could actually find an 'answer' in the book, you were mastering the art of learning...the questions weren't 'hard.' they did require some reading skill...

Not that it will do anything but make me feel somewhat better, I fired off an email to ol' O'Lielly:
Mr. O'Reilly: What a sad public figure you have become. Your statement about San Francisco residents not wanting military recruitment on their high school campuses deserving to attacked by Al-Quada and having the Coit Tower blown up is a new low, even for you. The next time you utter the words "Fair And Balanced", think instead of how unfair and unbalanced you truly are. Your time as a spokesperson for the Bush Administration is up, you should have quit when you settled out of court with your former producer for sexual harassment. For the good of the country, fade away now, retire, quit, leave the airwaves. Perhaps you could spend more time writing semi-pornographic novels, since you seem to have a talent for doing so. Surely you could make enough to keep you in loofas and falafels for some time. Give it up, you and your viewpoint are not relevant any longer. Good day Sir.
As I said, won't make a difference anywhere, but made me feel better. O'Reilly, what a shithead, almost as stupid as Toby, as mean as Cog, and as ugly as Ruppert. Feh.

Man, my cat won't stop fucking with my head.
This cat sleeps harder than any cat I've ever seen. She can lay on my lap and be into REM sleep within 5 or 10 minutes - totally out of it.
This cat loves sleep - she'll even sleep in for 2 or 3 hours after I get up in the morning, unlike every other cat I've ever had. They were always the ones making me get up earlier than wanted or needed.
But what's bad is, waking up in the middle of the night, reaching over to touch the cat, and she doesn't move. At all. Even feels rather cool to the touch. And you stroke her and she still doesn't move a bit. So finally you're saying, kitty, are you ok? And then...she wakes up and looks at me like, why the hell did you wake me up?
At least once every couple of weeks I'll wake up and think that I've rolled over in my sleep and killed the cat because she sleeps like a dead thing. Really freaky.

DWD - Ego Driven -10:04 pm
my experience has been that ya gotta start with what the student/kid knows. they all know something, not all of it wrong...
how the teacher does that depends on the teacher...the teacher's job is to point, as emphatically and as often as necessary, to the things in the world that matter...the teacher's job is to have made the pointing compelling enough to have necessitated attention
they way i see it, learning happens as students think about, puzzle over, try to figure out what they have seen...
and nobody ever--well, hardly ever--sees the same things the same ways...
because every teacher does this in idiosyncratic ways, one cannot be taught to be a teacher...folks either want to teach or they don't...those who do--good ones, like you--tap what they love in doing what they do as an energy source...

I won't pretend to have read the thread. So I'll just add this, from "The Nation":
Former US Senator Max Cleland, the Georgia Democrat who lost his right arm and both legs in Vietnam, explained a few years ago that, "Within the soul of each Vietnam veteran there is probably something that says 'Bad war, good soldier.' Only now are Americans beginning to separate the war from the warrior."
Cleland's wise words, as John Nichols writes in The Online Beat, need to be recalled on this Veterans Day, when it is more necessary than ever to separate a bad war from the warriors who are required to fight it http://www.thenation.com/blogs/t...bid=1&

I think that extinguishing O'Reilly before he achieves full flameout would actually be counterproductive.
O'Reilly has reached an unprecedented level of ridiculousness. Not Jerry Springer in all his white-trash-baiting glory, nor Limbaugh in his oxycontin-fueled oblivion, nor Oral Roberts or Jimmy Swaggart in their tearful agony, nor the Douchebag of Liberty or his trusty sidekick Fucker Bowtie, nor even Pat Robertson in his homophobic summoning of natural disasters has accomplished what O'Reilly now has.
If we pay O'Reilly the compliment of taking him seriously, we're just depriving ourselves of the pleasure of watching Stewart and Colbert make a complete laughing stock of him.
