Halloooo...
sorry to spoil your run, Al!
Hello Deere... Merry Xmas Eve
It's that darned 20 second limit...
Dammit, I just posted on the last thread! 
Merry Xmas Eve to you, as well. What's going on? I haven't been on all day...
I'm shooting for...

Second
Third
Where will it end?
But so far, I've only made it to "Third."

Merry Xmas Eve to you, as well. What's going on? I haven't been on all day...
First posts for me today. Just got lucky.
Was on till after midnight yesterday. Me and Marcia Brady. Lots of trolls, kal being the most demented. Was talking in tongues at one point.
Little Brøther, I agree w/your post on last thread. Surely, we can, as a country, actually walk and chew gum at the same time, figuratively speaking.
This poll on Bush job approval ratings still shows very low ratings.
love to you all

I had to accuse him of being a Druid and reciting pagan incantations. It had no effect.
I figured he was in a religous trance, not holy rolling necessarily, but dancing with rattlesnakes and free associating most certainly.
kal being the most demented. Was talking in tongues at one point.
No kidding??? I'm almost curious enough to see what that looks like to go back and find it.
Evening, MoonBats...
May I add my wishes for each and everyone here to have a pleasant day tomorrow, and more importantly, a 2006 that we can get out country back closer to what it should be.
Love all you people.

I'm bringing this up from the thread below, because it really is important. This country of ours will never be perfect, there will always be winners and losers. Probably the best we can hope to attain is that there are more winners. We are just too big and diverse to create a nirvana for every citizen, but every citizen should have the right to seek his/her own nirvana, and there is nothing wrong with government aiding in that effort.
And yeah, I know there are limits.
hi her eyes!
kal reminded me of Robert DeNiro's Max Cady character in Cape Fear, right when he's about to go down.

Letter From a Military Mom: Domestic Spying & Incident of Intimidation of Military Families
By Jack Dalton
12/24/05 "ICH" -- -- It wasn’t that long ago that the military command in Iraq started pulling computer access to various units. Seems some of the troops were writing emails home to family, to friends, to various anti-war groups and the like, and the military was getting a bit disconcerted by that. After all, can’t have your own troops pretty much turning the “official news” on its head now can you? So what do you do? You shut them up and any way that you can. Let them know they are monitored works pretty good.
But, what about the “moms” back home that are writing on the internet? Moms like Robin Vaughan, whose letter detailing her recent experiences with the Department of Defense and the Army is below.
Moms writing back and forth to “sons and daughters” in Iraq, who might “slip” and tell “mom” what life is really like in Iraq; Can’t have that now, can we? What if the “moms” start telling others what their sons and daughters are telling them (at least the ones that are still able to access a computer). Can’t have that people might turn against the war ON Iraq. I guess we better threaten and intimidate the moms so they’ll keep their mouths shut, stay off the internet and just go home and be a mom. Doesn’t matter to the military these moms only wanted to do what moms do, especially military moms, worry and take advantage of the internet to chat with sons and daughters.
This is pretty much what has happened to Robin Vaughan, the mother of a young man who was in Iraq. We have a DoD and Pentagon (military) that has become the foreign policy ‘setter’, and enforcement arm for the Bush/Cheney cabal--(you know, the guy who said, with a smirk, that he broke the law then pretty much asked, what are you going to do about it?)--that is now attempting to eliminate the rights, the very speech of a group of mothers with sons and daughters in Iraq.

Ah. Great. Horrible, then.
No kidding??? I'm almost curious enough to see what that looks like to go back and find it.
Maybe someone can explain something. He kept asking for a new thread, over and over. It was at 650, so it was full. But, when I checked this morning, he barely posted after the new one appeared.
At one point I questioned whether the trolls are getting paid based on the number of threads they post to. Weird.
John posted a great highlights video clip on Jeff Gannon/Guckert at Crooks and Liars. I'm dying for more answers on this one.

Hey Sarah, we're both on at the same time and it's not 4:00 a.m. Of course I'll be off before too long, but I think this is a first.
Anyway, gotta go buy a present. Just stopped in to check and saw "0" in the thread. Toodles bats...
ql in ny, damn why did I spell our "out". But you knew what I meant, so thanks. And I do mean it. Half the country (or more) are in our camp. Maybe not active, but I can't see this country being taken over by this administration.
Hey!
Back from dinner at the Italian restaurant. I spent the last half hour watching mass, live, starring Pope Rat.
The Italians love the guy ~ or maybe it's just that the love il Papa.
i'm going to eat bad food and watch bad television and hopefully go into enough of a comatose state and be able to sleep through the insufferable insomnia that has plagued me since the stolen election.
peace to all
and to all a good night.
Editoress
that piece about Robin Vaughan is appalling.
I made my own IMPEACH bumpersticker...just used a huge font and printed it on paper. So, of course it doesn't stick, and will go in the back window instead of the bumper. So, ok, it isn't really a bumpersticker I guess, but it will do the job until we get stickers that say "Impeachment-not just for blowjobs".....
I thought it was pretty cool when the singing reindeers link in the last thread led to Santa belting out 9-inch nails. Then I realized my son's profile was still running and when I turned off mute, it went to his playlist.
Hahaha.
be able to sleep through the insufferable insomnia that has plagued me since the stolen election.
No food after 5 pm. Exercise to point of fatigue are two things that work very well for me.
Unfortunately, anger and resentment don't succumb to those remedies very well. Hope it's not that.
what percent of world gdp goes to defend ourselves from ourselves? if you put a lounge chair on the moon and looked down at earth you would have to laugh. like bucky fuller said. the technology exists so that everyone can be rich. we can't all have the mona lisa. but free food and shelter, definitely
Okay, I'm off. Dinner will be coffee cake and dried apricots. Shall I have beer or wine. Decisions, decisions. May I can find a Christmas Carol on the tube.
her eyes - peace - and may you sleep blissfully, deeply, fully!
'Night, Al. I'll check to see if I can find that kal post.
ql - yeah, I know. Good to "see" you, though, if only for a while!
So there's a new thread.
Merry christmas to all of you leaving! Thanks you for being here!
mena, back at you. I'll be on and off, mostly lurking. You can see what a scintillating conversasionalist I am...
hrrm. relatively content-free day. been listening to good blues while finishing the xmas shopping.
I'd be interested in seeing Atrios back up his assertion that "(o)nce upon a time good jobs came with good pensions". It's my impression that retirement is a relatively modern phenomenon coincident with the dramatic increase in life expectancy in the 20th century.
I agree that the ultimate issue here is actuarial soundness. But we should be careful not to develop a mythological history of "good jobs with good pensions" extending indefinitely into the past.
One particular reason for being careful about advocacy of lavish pensions is the generous pensions granted to retirees from the armed forces, many of whom are just approaching the peaks of their careers when they leave the military after twenty years' service. In my opinion it would be far more just to scale back military retirement pensions and concomitantly increase disability pensions and medical funding for the Veterans' Administration.
Same here Sarah. And, as a matter of fact, yes, you are.
Merry christmas!
Here is some cheese to feed the stinking trolls.
Friends, please don't tell our little rocket scientist friend (Ferris Valyn) there's a new thread.
He's busy arguing with himself on the previous one. Thanks.

Well, he lived across the street from the Vatican for 10 years when he was working there. He's become somewhat familiar with the Roman way of living.
Also, he LOVES cats. He was followed around by strays all the time, because he was the softest touch in Rome for the stray cat population.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The former top aide to then-secretary of state Colin Powell has reportedly emerged as an increasingly high-profile and vocal critic of US administration policy at home and abroad.
Lawrence Wilkerson, who was Powell's chief-of-staff, "says his decision to speak in the open about the policy wars of the first Bush term was slow in coming, but a major factor was the revelations about Abu Ghraib, which he said he realized ... had resulted from decisions on prisoner treatment and intelligence set shortly after September 11, 2001," the New York Times reported.
"What I saw was a cabal between the vice president of the United States, Richard Cheney, and the secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, on critical issues that made decisions that the bureaucracy did not know were being made," the paper recalled Wilkerson saying in a speech at the New America Foundation in October.
"And you've got a president who is not versed in international relations and not too much interested in them either," he added, according to the Times.
The report said Wilkerson has been "assailing the president as amateurish, especially compared to the first President Bush, and describing the administration as secretive, inept and courting disaster at home and abroad. Nor has he spared his former boss, who he says was overly preoccupied with 'damage control' for policies set by others."
A retired Army colonel, Wilkerson "has also attacked the Bush administration for allegedly condoning torture and setting lax policies on treatment of detainees that led, he charges, to the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the black eye they gave to the United States Army," the report said.
if this has already been posted i appologize. i just can't get enough of real military personnel, (not rapists and fucking sickos), who want to puke shit over what the cheney administration is doing.

I've got a pot of chili simmering on the stove for a little later; spouse is taking a nice long nap (and so are the kitties). We'll be heading out after while to sing Midnight Mass (which really is at midnight in our parish) and then drink champagne with the fellow choristers. And it's 37 and rainy in Chicago tonight.
That's what's going on here. How's by you all, my batties?

OK.....beat the shit out of me, but why is it bad that the Feds have been looking for nukes in a low-key fashion that does not involve kicking in doors and hurting people?
This is not about the illegal communications intercepts, which I have despised since the days of J. Edgar Hoover, and still do -- this is just about the search for nuclear materials in places where they shouldn't be.
If you're going to shred me, do not mistake any ensuing silence from me as chagrin; I have to go to the market, and won't be back for awhile.

hi four legs, merry christmas.
There really IS a Santa Claus!
Everybody got something.
The Mashpee Wampanoags, famed for greeting the Pilgrims at Plymouth, will probably be named a nationally recognized tribe -- a designation they've sought for 30 years to benefit from federal aid programs.
Jack Abramoff, the lobbyist embroiled in a Washington corruption scandal, and his firm championed the Indians' cause and pocketed tens of thousands of dollars in tribal money.
And Rep. Richard Pombo, R-Tracy, chairman of the influential House Resources Committee, landed a lucrative source of political donations: the small group of American Indians whose ancestral lands are about as far from his Northern California district as one can get in the United States.
The trifecta of money, politics and power that quietly came together over the last several years has attracted the attention of a federal law enforcement task force investigating the burgeoning Abramoff scandal.
FBI officials have visited the tribal offices in Mashpee to obtain financial documents, and other task force investigators in Washington are reviewing what role political leaders and others played in the Mashpees' success.
Where the investigation will lead is unknown. But several people close to Abramoff already have pleaded guilty in other aspects of the wide-ranging scandal. In recent days, several Capitol Hill lawmakers, including Pombo, have returned donations from Abramoff or turned the money over to charity.
Officials do know that the flow of cash from the Mashpees to Abramoff and Pombo is a textbook example of the kind of cases of alleged influence-buying that the task force is assembling...

Um, because they were entering private property without a warrant to do so?
That pesky fourth amendment keeps getting in the way of fascist dirtbags.

but why is it bad that the Feds have been looking for nukes in a low-key fashion that does not involve kicking in doors and hurting people?
It's better than knocking in doors, but it's still going way beyond their authority. People might not be so sensitive to it if it weren't of a piece with Bush's "We don't need no stinking warrants" approach to electronic surveillance.
merry christmas strawhat.

So WHY are 39-40% of the country STILL so STUPID?

"so far" being the operative words.
Fuck.
Of course, this just reflects real life where there is precious little peace because there's always some shitheel who wants to come foul it up.
I don't particularly care for CS Lewis, but it's mainly because I am not Xian. He meant well in many ways. However, I did read his sci-fi triology, and in Perelandra, he portrayed the devil (or Evil) as something just fouling things mindless, for no particular reason, like when he (it) ripped open these beautiful rainbow frogs with his long sharp talons methodically, like one would snap beans.
So, for me there's a parallel here, with trolls who want to come in even on Xmas eve just to fart or throw up or do something stupidly foul just for the sake of doing it.

I realize this would be - unfortunately - offensive to the deeply and uncompromisingly religious, but it makes sense to me.
Anyway, in this pluralistic light, I wish each and every one of you the very very best, with extra special good wishes for the coming year.

I have Lawrence Welk Christmas on the tv. It reminds me of my grandma and grandpa.
Have yourselves a merry little Christmas now.
I'd wish all of you a merry Christmas but I'm not a Christian, so.....
Here's hoping you all have a lovely evening.
Checking out the thread downstairs.
Old Ferris sure killed that, didn't he?
Al, Ferris was a guy who showed up on the thread upstairs. He wanted a "serious" discussion of his idea that the colonization of space should be part of the Democratic platform.
That yahoo link was amazing. I know that there's all kinds of interests, but...
Ferris needs a place on the internet where he can hang out and be comforable. He seems to have thought that this place was part of the Democratic base, and that he could get his platform "plank" into general discussion.
Poor, poor guy.
two more: Great Whites
they hunt the sea lions around in between there and the Farallons
Grew-up surfing from Santa Cruz north. Body surfed Stinson, which never felt that comfortable because there's shark warnings there fairly frequently (or were during the early '80s). Dead seals would wash up half eaten now and again.
Never saw a GW, even when fishing outside the gate. Saw a thresher once, but that's about it. One thing though was certain when out on the boats, however, you knew you didn't want to go in the water.
Happy Holidays.
If Bill O'Wanker doesn't like that, too bad!
Merry christmas Pie and Vicki! Keep warm up there!
Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas.

((thanks))
Mena, Merry Christmas back at you! And pie, too!
We actually saw 44 degrees today!
Yes!
'livers in twilight'
Are you disparaging my drinking?
Hugs, pie and Tena, Sarah and mena!
Happy Christmas/etc. to all those on the eastern side of the Pond!
Haloscan ate my ost (sigh!)
mena -- you can navigate from that link to information about the monastery -- you can also click my Homepage & then the Abbey Letter link & turn pages until you get to the kitties
Xena was very rambunctious today (not that that today special) -- she cannnot stand it if another cat is getting attention & she isn't!
mena, it's been warm today, but having my family home would make it downright toasty, regardless of the temperature.
And agave - you and Melissa seem to be blessed with each other. Thank you for sharing it with us. And goodnight for at least a while, everybody. Happy whatever you celebrate, and Peace!

And more hugs for Vicki, Prior, and Terry C!
And anyone else who wants hugs. Even the trolls and name stealers. What the hey -- it's Christmas.
"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is NOT being spied on by a pack of fascist thugs for the "offense" of NOT worshipping their vacuous twit of a figurehead as a deity.
Perhaps I came away with different impressions from MY school civics classes.
"They hate us for our freedoms."
So, hey, let's give those freedoms all up!
Sure makes perfect sense to me!
And more hugs for Vicki, Prior, and Terry C!

Re: Great White Sharks
Hiked Ano Nuevo with some other tourists one time to see the elephant seals and their pups. One lady asked the docent why the seals were so stupid as to whelp where there were great white sharks...
When I remember that, I understand better how things have gone so awry in general.
Ooh, BBQ oysters = NW springtime. Mmmmmm....
Tony's, in Marshall as I recall. Great "fresh" oyster stew. BBQ's too, right off the grill.
My fave was a restaurant farther on, near the mouth of Tomales on the north side. Not the Marshall Inn. Was used as location in Bandits. Great place to drive for a Sunday seafood dinner. Rustic, quaint and out of the way and on the water.
Had to be there.
"dwellers in twilight" seems a pretty good description of bats, don't you think?
Vicki -- you say you have Lawrence Welk on the TV -- I would just like to ask, WHY?

VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict XVI offered a Christmas prayer for peace in the Holy Land on Sunday and made a special mention of children, including the unborn, as he led his first midnight Mass in the splendor of St. Peter's Basilica.
Benedict's reference to the unborn in his homily was a clear reference to the Roman Catholic Church's opposition to abortion.
"God is so powerful that he can make himself vulnerable and come to us as a defenseless child, so that we can love him," Benedict said, referring to the birth of Jesus. He said that "something of the splendor" of Christmas "shines on every child, even on those still unborn." Reading his homily slowly, Benedict stressed the word "every" in his reference to children.
"On this night, when we look toward Bethlehem, let us pray in a special way for the birthplace of our Redeemer and for the men and women who live and suffer there," the pope said. "We wish to pray for peace in the Holy Land."
At the start of the service, a dozen children brought flowers up to the center altar, placing them near a statue depicting baby Jesus as a choir of adults and youths sang hymns.
Benedict wore gold-colored robes and blessed the crowd when he arrived, striding up the central aisle of the basilica, which was packed with pilgrims, tourists and Romans.
For the overflow, two giant screens were set up in St. Peter's Square, which was made festive with a 100-foot high Austrian fir, shimmering with decorations. In his homily, Benedict said a flame lit in Bethlehem accompanied the tree.
It was Benedict's first Midnight Mass since being elected April 19, and the first major public engagement of the Christmas period at the Vatican for the 78-year-old pontiff.
On Christmas Day at noon, Benedict was scheduled to deliver the "Urbi et Orbi" message (Latin for "to the city and to the world") to pilgrims and tourists in St. Peter's Square and offer holiday greetings.
His predecessor, Pope John Paul II, used to delight the crowds by delivering holiday wishes in dozens of languages. John Paul also would use the "Urbi et Orbi" message to review conditions around the world, often lamenting conflicts, poverty and the excesses of consumerism.
John Paul's longtime aide, Stanislaw Dziwisz, recalled Saturday the late pope's final Christmas last year, saying "we saw a very tired Holy Father and we were aware that maybe it would be the last."
Despite his ailments, "the Holy Father showed his guests warmth, and with the same love he shared the wafer and he even sang carols," Dziwisz told a television station in Krakow, Poland.
John Paul died on April 2.
On New Year's Eve, Benedict was to preside over an evening prayer service and, the following day, was to celebrate Mass in St. Peter's Basilica to mark the Catholic Church's World Peace Day.
Ahhh, me darlin' pie. You still at KP? I should come visit.

Hello moonbats
Ferris needs a place on the internet where he can hang out and be comforable.
Who knows, he may find a home there. No haloscan (real-time) though.
When I was in my twenties I used to love raw oysters. Such a sensuous experience. Back int the 70's the water wasn't so polluted as it is now. You could go to an oyster bar in Boston and taste different varieties of oyster. I was great. I had so much fun. Met a lot of good looking men too.
Hey, Moonbootica! Merry X-Men! *snikt*
happy holidays filkertom
I'd wish all of you a merry Christmas but I'm not a Christian, so.....
Not a Christian?
Not... a Christian?
I-- I don't understand...
Genuinely can't say I've ever had oysters. Or good lobster. (Red Lobster and fake lobster don't count.) Love love love mussels. Especially in a garlic tomato broth.
In his homily at midnight Mass, Benedict mentioned no other area of conflict on the globe other than the Holy Land.
Benedict ended his homily with this appeal to God: "Where there is conflict, give birth to peace. Where there is hatred, make love spring up! Where darkness prevails, let light shine."
Earlier in the evening, Benedict appeared at his studio window briefly to light a candle and bless the crowds below who had gathered to watch the unveiling of the Vatican's Nativity scene.
Nothing about Iraq.
Just the same pie in the sky "a collection of cells" is more important that people already here" bullshit.
Good evening all, and Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas.
I have Lawrence Welk Christmas on the tv. It reminds me of my grandma and grandpa.
Have yourselves a merry little Christmas now.
Vicki
There's a wonderfulness to that. Innocent times.
Even if there were all kinds of horrible things going on, there have ALWAYS been times throughout human history that could not be ruined by the awfulness than human beings seem doomed to repeat. There are precious moments, frozen in time, perhaps crystallized in the heart, where hope for goodness and decency for all lies.
When we are - even if perhaps rarely - fed, clothed, warm. We have enough to give to others without worrying we will starve. We huddle together for sweet moments of warmth, of love, of the best this conflicted species can be.
And, for a moment or two, maybe even a string of them, we simply *are*.
But, fuck, no way am I sentimental or maudlin.....
Good evening, my beautiful bats.
A wondrous Yule, a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hannukah and a _____ ________ (other) to you all!
Mrs. Gummo is icing a twisted ankle so we stayed put today.
We watched King Kong (1933) ; we followed it with the "real" (i.e. cartoon) Grinch.
Now we're going to watch Bernard & the Genie, a BBC Christmas thing from the early 90s, with Alan Cummings, Lenny Henry and Rowan Atkinson. It should join the other perennials, 'cause it's a lot of fun & sweet without rubbing your nose in it.
Hope you all find your hearts' desires (even the trolls -- maybe then you won't be so bitter & twisted!) and let go of all anxiety, at least for the next couple of days.
Jumping on the seasonal bandwagon here...
So I'm sending warm wishes for happy holidays to all you fine people out there, wherever you happen to be, and the hope that you are spending them with the people you love.
May the new year bring peace and enlightenment to us all.
Even the trolls, whether they want it or not
Prior,
Re: Lawrence Welk.
Two reasons.
1. When I used to work at Herpolsheimers in Grand Rapids, all of the elderly ladies asked me if I was "Ralna." My vanity gets the best of me.
2. More importantly, my maternal grandparents loved Lawrence Welk, and they loved Christmas. I always try to catch Lawrence Welk on Christmas if I can, in honor of their memories. They brought wonderful Christmas traditions to my family. In fact, my maternal grandfather was Jewish, but became a Lutheran and then a Catholic when he moved to the United States. My grandpa loved the tradition of winter wheat at Christmas time....
Just memories, that's all. Good ones.
Every time I see someone eating raw oysters, I always think they're going all the way down and out and land on the floor.
'Bin Laden deputy' lauds Taleban
Al-Qaeda's deputy leader has claimed the Taleban still control large parts of Afghanistan, according to a tape broadcast on a Arabic TV channel.
The speaker, said to be Ayman al-Zawahri, said the Taleban was "waging a sustained guerrilla campaign against the crusaders and apostates".
Al-Arabiya satellite television said it had only just obtained the tape and could not tell when it was recorded.
More than 1,400 people have died in unrest in Afghanistan this year.
It is the worst toll since US-led forces ousted the Taleban in late 2001.

Williams sermon on 'forgiveness'
The Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams will pay tribute to the families of Abigail Witchalls and Anthony Walker in his Christmas sermon.
At Canterbury Cathedral he will praise the way they responded to horrific violence with Christian forgiveness.
They show the difference made possible by the "miraculous love" offered by God to the human race, he will say.
Anthony Walker was murdered with an ice pick in July and Abigail Witchalls was paralysed in a knife attack in April.
Mother of 18-year-old Anthony Gee Walker - a devout Christian - said she would follow Jesus' example and forgive his killers.
I just had a delicious dinner of steak and shrimp fajitas. It was so mild today, we took a walk by the ocean, and barbequed afterwards.

Moonbootica - how did you find atrios and what got you interested in a US political blog?
Here's my favorite one for Eli...
During the height of the Cold War a Soviet meteorologist named Rudolph Marakevich was attending an international conference in Washington DC. Being that he was an important guest, the Chief Protocol officer of the US and his wife were assigned to host the Russian’s stay.
One evening they were leaving the house to go to dinner, when Marakevich looked up at the clouds and said, “Excuse please, but looks like it will be rain. We must take umbrella”. The Chief of Protocol looked at the clouds and said “Nah, I’ve lived in DC all my life, those aren’t rain clouds, we don’t need an umbrella.” His wife objected saying the Russian was an experienced meteorologist who knew bad weather signs. But to no avail, they left without the umbrella.
A few hours later upon leaving the restaurant, they were greeted with a massive downpour. The protocol officer’s wife turned to her husband and said, “see honey, I told you”. He replied, “Told me what!” She said, “Didn’t I tell you that Rudolph the Red knows rain dear!”

My mother is doing both a small turkey and beef joint for christmas dinner, as her parents requested it (the maternal grandparents are round for christmas dinner and so they prefer turkey see), so it will be like a carvery!
my dad refused to spend £43 on a turkey and the meat is pretty bland and dry in his opinion.
he would rather spend £20 on a good beef joint.
tho he got one off his farmer friend for free.

Ex-Marine Says Public Version of Saddam Capture Fiction
A former U.S. Marine who participated in capturing ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said the public version of his capture was fabricated.
Ex-Sgt. Nadim Abou Rabeh, of Lebanese descent, was quoted in the Saudi daily al-Medina Wednesday as saying Saddam was actually captured Friday, Dec. 12, 2003, and not the day after, as announced by the U.S. Army.
"I was among the 20-man unit, including eight of Arab descent, who searched for Saddam for three days in the area of Dour near Tikrit, and we found him in a modest home in a small village and not in a hole as announced," Abou Rabeh said.
"We captured him after fierce resistance during which a Marine of Sudanese origin was killed," he said.
He said Saddam himself fired at them with a gun from the window of a room on the second floor. Then they shouted at him in Arabic: "You have to surrender. ... There is no point in resisting."
"Later on, a military production team fabricated the film of Saddam's capture in a hole, which was in fact a deserted well," Abou Rabeh said.
etc.

Muslim group issues Kember plea
A British Muslim group has appealed for the safe release of Norman Kember and three other peace campaigners taken hostage with him in Iraq in November.
The appeal, from the Muslim Association of Britain, was broadcast on al-Jazeera TV channel in Arabic and followed media appeals from the 74-year-old's family.
The men remain missing two weeks after their captors threatened to kill them.
The Swords of Truth group demanded all Iraqis detained by coalition forces be freed by 10 December - a call not met.
Apparently you have to be British to celebrate the Yuletide properly...

i think it has to do with my beard... it signals the extent of my non-conventionality...when a woman takes on a man-project, she needs to think she can succeed...i think my beard suggests a formidable impediment and is a symbol of resistance to arbitrary transformations.
or im just rationalizing...
I was speaking to a woman I've known since high school. We bump into each other on the holidays. She is a lively woman with a good head on her shoulders - fun to be with. She is one of these women who would rather be with a group of guys with no other women. Every time I see her she has more tales of woe about her love live. Shame, really. She's an amazing person. It was odd to see her today.

Some of us has been disappointed at Rowan on gay issues (& pandering to the "Global South" in his official position in spite of his personal beliefs) but he is a brilliant man & holy, I think -- doesn't mean we can't disagree
I'm also very impressed by the new Archbishop of York, John Sentamu -- quite a life story!
You know, the Constitution is what defines us. If we took it to Mars we could start the US there.
This country is not the land, the buildings, or even the people. Its the Constitution.

An Eschaton Holiday Poem
Twas the night before Fitzmas and all through the house
The keyboard was silent and so was the mouse
The moonbats were home all snug in their beds
While visions of impeachment danced in their heads
The day was a long one without a bad thread
Even the trolls were contented ‘cause they had been fed
As usual steve simels eloquently voiced his quick wrath
Invariably aimed at the Little Sociopath
Poor NTodd had no stocking to hang up perchance,
Instead, yeah you guessed it, he just hung up his pants.
Fitzmas blogwhoring is watertiger’s favorite trick
Don’t worry, just click it – it’s only a pic
Trolls beware of a slap from our NYMary
If you dopes come around and try patting her belly
Recalling the Sixties to Woody seemed like past fiction
Back then, instead of Fuck Bush, it was Fuck Richard Nixon
And Vicki, still searching for Mr. Right’s friendly dong
She’ll gladly give him a toot on her glass penis bong
And thanks to Moonbootica that’s a hard one to rhyme
But how would we know who died in the year 869.
And the jokesters whose postings are usually too short
My favorite’s res ipsa loquitor’s Blah Blah Blah Report
To that elf whose ‘Caps Lock’ key is stuck and not workin’
Let’s all give a salute to the PATRIOT named MERKIN
Now just at this time when my sleep is so near
Oh what to my wondering eyes should appear

sorry about the delay had to make a firewood run-
waves? not too much today on the central coast but my bro said on thursday they had 15 ftrs in Ventura peaky-lines with few breaks and plenty of takers, those dudes are way crazy- a mucho peligro para mi
Hi, Prior! from me too. Sometimes I am content to read instead of comment. So, I haven't said hi to you in a while. Hope you have a nice holy day tomorrow.
Well I see the late nite crew has signed in early. Marcia, Todd, and Terry, not to mention Annie.
Found a rare picture of Limpy and Annie together. I think it was taken on their first date.

Bethlehem a 'prison' - patriarch
Israel's most senior Roman Catholic leader has said Bethlehem has become an "immense prison" since the erection of the West Bank barrier.
Michel Sabbah, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, called for all barriers between people to be dismantled.
He was joined by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, ambassadors from several countries and thousands of Christians for Christmas Eve mass in Bethlehem.
Israel says the barrier is defensive, but Palestinians see it as a land grab.

Christmas Eve sales slower than predicted
CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. retailers faced slower-than-expected traffic in stores on the last shopping day before Christmas as extended hours and steep discounts failed to draw a big crowd of shoppers.
"I don't think the day is the kind of day that retailers thought it would be," said Britt Beemer, head of America's Research Group, which surveys consumer spending habits. "Christmas Eve is seldom the big day because of the fact that so many consumers ... want to be home."
U.S. retailers were counting on strong demand on Saturday to make up for solid but unspectacular sales so far this holiday season. The Saturday before Christmas has become the busiest shopping day of the year as consumers hold out for last-minute discounts.
Off to mix up the cherry pecan buttermilk bread (to die for ~ even little kids gobble it up).
Back in a few.
Moonbootica --
It's a "defensive land grab."
i have never seen anybody lift themselves up by their own bootstraps...
I've seen a few. They were good students in high school. That's the only chance the poor have.
However, even the ones that got scholarships and good jobs, now seem to be plagued with problems.
Overall, everyone is around the income level as their fathers. The stupid rich kids from upper class homes, now magically, are upper class.

Large-scale US domestic spying program reported
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US government's domestic spying operation is much broader than previously disclosed, involving eavesdropping on vast amounts of telephone and Internet traffic, according to US media reports.
The government's top-secret National Security Agency (NSA) is not only monitoring specific conversations of terrorist suspects but also combing through massive volumes of phone and Internet communications, according to a New York Times report.
The "data-mining operation" by the NSA -- often in cooperation with major telecommunications firms -- includes surveillance of phone calls outside the United States that pass through US-based telephone "switches" or gateways.

My sister who works at Boots was telling us how lots of men were buying perfumes becuase they had left gift giving till the last minite and did not know what to get their girlfriends/wifes/mistresses.

Noticed a lot of British accents (English; "RP;" Scottish) accents in the store this evening. (It's an ex-pat by virtue of oil company community. Lots of Shell and other employees in the neighborhood).
Wondering if Xmas Eve shopping was a "Brit" thing, because they don't start the shopping season after Thxgiving.
For obvious reasons.
Probably not, I know realize. But I wondered.
When I was a little girl I dreamed about being a performance analyst. 50 years later all my dreams came true.
I grew up knowing that I would have to work to support myself and that life is not a free ride.
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo
Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
And I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

moonbootica--just wondered if there is a frantic shopping season across the pond.
Here, it starts (or is "supposed" to) the Friday after Thxgiving.
We've abandoned the 12 days of Xmas, and replaced it with 24 days of mounting tension.
Feh.
Who have greater opportunity than men at social mobility through marrying money.
Ask Sharon Bush about that.

That wasn't what I was asking - I already know I am an Ass Hole (fact is, I come from a long line of ass holes, and I am proud of my ass holelity)
My point was, reading some of the above posts, well, the phrase barking lunitic comes to mind - as I said, I like to know just how deep a hole?
Ferris?
be authentic
it shows, finally...
but it's a tough crowd...
Woody,
I honestly thought I was doing a decent job being authentic (and if I am not, well, I am always looking for pointers)

on the other hand, if you start your tenure here by criticizing as barking lunacy some unspecified portion of the posts you have read so far, you may find it uncomfortable to persist long in these parts...
jus sayin..

I don't need a man to support me either, but does that mean I'm supposed to not let a man support me if he wants to?

I admit it came off harsh - I apologize.
As far as critizing, well, I can get specific

Evening, dearest moonbats.
I brought a few sprigs of the mistletoe that grows like weeds around here. Kisses for you all.
Fred - this is just teasing banter. I think you're fun to talk to. Don't be so hard on yourself. I just started here, and it helps to have a sense of humor.
Come on, get with the program!
BTW, in case your still curious Agent Orange
--------
Three questions for the little rocket scientist...
If he was stuck on Mars for one year with one person, who would that person be?
----
Well, honestly, haven't got one particular person - after tolerating some family members I have, I could put up with anyone
----
Who's his favorite astronaut?
-----
Hard to say - I'd prolly pick Bill Nelson, the Florida Senator, since he was smart enough to go into politics as well. I wish I could say Buzz Aldrin, but, well, he endorsed Bush - that kinda hurt him in my opinion
-----
Even though 1 out of every 50 astronauts who's boarded the shuttle has been killed (that'll make his head explode) would he take the chance and go?
-----
Not really an option for yours truly - I have asthama, and its not my head that would explode, but its quite possible my lungs would. I can't go scuba diving either
Aunt Bessie my ass, that's sheriff Andy Taylor's Aunt Bea, sure as shit!
Agent Orange, how'd you get to be such a fucking idiot?
jess askin |
My little friend, you have what's called a selective memory. You left the above response out of your list of historical comments. This preceeded all the comment's you copied.
Or maybe that wasn't you?
.
Ferris - if you don't like this kind of goofing around you won't be happy here. Like people keep saying, this is a tough crowd. Your copying and pasting remarks about yourself is not a good sign. If you want to go back and post about this on the original thread, I'll join you.
It's christmas eve, man. Don't annoy folks.
Orange, if your asking did I post that - nope.
First rule, don't be an ass when in a thread - no one will take you seriously. So if you thought I posted that, nope, I did not.
Ferris, please don't take this stuff badly.
People are being especially nice to you. It's poor form to be demanding when you are a new comer. You have to earn your bones. Even the old timers know better than to drag grievances around. You just have to suck it up.
Ferris - if you don't like this kind of goofing around you won't be happy here. Like people keep saying, this is a tough crowd. Your copying and pasting remarks about yourself is not a good sign. If you want to go back and post about this on the original thread, I'll join you.

I could of course point out its also Hanukkah (or is it Chanukkah - never really certain - anyone care to provide direction as to which is correct?)
As far as copying and pasting, well, as I said, the comments kinda point me in the direction of being crazy - I just want to know how crazy people here think I am (I already know what my psyciatric diagnosis is, but popular knowledge is always good)
And as far as being happy here - I can't be happy on general principle, not when we have the Grand idiot in the White house, when millions are straving or dieing unnecassarily, when we have crooks running most of the rest of the worlds, and when God is guilty of 2nd degree manslaughter (I think thats the crime) well, honestly, how much do you think a few bloggers opinions will make?
Arabella, Orange - Actually, I have no intention of holding grudges. Seriously - at somepoint, I hope Orange will read the posts, but if he doesn't, no big - I just thought that final comment, the one about my head exploding, did deserve a response. But it was rather petty, I admit, and as such, I do apologize. And if you did think that one post was me Orange, it wasn't.
Run Ferris! They've never been nice to me! I just keep getting banned and unbanned and have no clue why!

That's fine Ferris. Have a good evening.

Be careful Ferris, it's scary here!
Terry C. Annie is not going to stick around here. No men to manipulate or impress. Annie needs attention, even negative attention. When she get attention she doesn't know what to do about. It's sad that she is so messed up, but it's not our responsiblity.
annie - I know that you are a self loathing person. Don't mess with Ferris. He's new here. You are a real shit if you toy with him.
I'm new here too arabella. I don't want attention, I'd just like to actually debate, no one here does that they just troll and cuss and flame.
Very immature if you ask me.
Arabella, she's welcome to toy with me - it really won't bother me one way or another. I do appricate the thought though
annie, You are making a big deal out of nothing. You never debate. A debate implies a back and forth discussion. All you do is fling insults.
You have never had a coherent thought, nor have you been able to articulate an idea. You are here to be a shit stirrer and make yourself the center of attention. This is self destructive, don't you agree. It's sad to see such anger.
And why come here if all people do is "cuss and troll and flame you?" Why punish yourself. You must be filled with self hatred.
No you are making me out to be some kind of person who would toy with someone you all are being mean to just so they don't find out that unless they toe your little inbred party line here you will be called a cunt by terry and lots of other nice things by everyone else, and by nice things I mean rotten insulting horrible things and you will be banned and unbanned and it's a rollercoaster ride of emotions here at whatever this place is called.
I know more about Islam than anyone on this board.
What is the basis for your remarks? I have never experienced these things. But I have seen how you behave and you act like a confused angry woman. Do you enjoy provoking people until they heap abuse on you?
I know more about Islam than anyone on this board.
Why are you saying this? You aren't making any sense.
Shoe me, Arabella. Show me please. Terry C called ma a bitch a few posts up, someone else said something really disgusting, just read it Ferris and she how she's trying to make YOU hate me now.
Dammit. Where's shoelimpy when you need him. I'd love it if annieangel showed up to talk to rocket scientist Ferris. He'd love annie.

The people on this board are interested in politics. There are times when people are playful and talk about recipes or pets, etc. But the core of the group engages in serious discussion, not one upsmanship. You haven't demonstrated the intelligence or the discipline to engage in discussions.

Anne, I'm not your friend. I'm not your enemy either. I don't understand your need for putting yourself in situations that make you unhappy. Give yourself a Christmas present - find another place to post. You are making yourself miserable.
Well, night all - I gotta hit the hay - Arabella, I hope you got the email, Orange, please believe that I have no harsh feeling for you, and I hope you read what I suggested

Anyway, Im headed to bed (I hope - I really don't wanna get draged to church - Im tired)
Nite all
No right now it looks like I'm making YOU miserable. Why is that, arabella?
Such anger. Such a lack of logic.
My boyfriend wants us to go live on some space ark with some lifeboat foundation people.
Nite Ferris. When you wake up it'll be Christmas
And as a parting shot, to demonstrate to me that she is sexually desirable, she sends a smiley faced greeting to the only male remotely in the area. You aren't fooling anyone dearie. You aren't even fooling yourself.
I agree arabella, why are you so angry and illogical? Let's talk about it.
You are the topic here and you know it.
Hey arabella....
The medium IS the message!!!!
I'm not at all angry, annie. I'm logical though.
Why do you keep coming here? What does it do for you?
I'm waiting for someone to debate without flaming. I'm sure this board goes through stages, I can wait.
What do you mean by "the medium is the message." Explain. Marshall Mccluhan was way before your time;
be serious annie. you don't want to debate anything.
Good night, annie. I hope you can work your problems out because I can see that you're an unhappy person and that's sad.
Oh arabella, have you stopped beating your kids yet?
I can't believe, 480 comments! It's a record =)
